Hey Ladies,
I just came out of a failed IVF cycle and I can't go into my FET until my next period starts. I guess my Dr. is making me wait a cycle before I can try FET.
So, in my down time I'm doing some research as to what I can do to help my next cycle along. My friend has PCOS and did fertility massage during her treatment from her RE and she is pregnant again with her second.
I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of fertility massage and if it worked for them. I know alot of people do acupuncture, but massage sounds devine and if it works then that's even better!

Beijing Formalizes Call for New Reserve Currency
BEIJING -- China's central bank reiterated its call for the creation of a new international currency that could replace currencies such as the dollar in countries' official reserves.
In its annual report on financial stability, issued Friday, the People's Bank of China said the country will push reform of the international currency system to make it more diversified and reasonable. While it didn't specifically target the U.S. currency, it said it aims to reduce over-reliance on the current reserve currencies, of which the dollar is the biggest.
"To avoid the shortcomings of sovereign credit currencies acting as reserve currencies, we need to create an... international reserve currency that can maintain the long-term stability of its value," the PBOC said.
The report, a lengthy document that addressed a broad range of issues, reiterated a proposal made by PBOC governor Zhou Xiaochuan in March to use Special Drawing Rights, the synthetic currency developed by the IMF, as a super-sovereign reserve currency. That proposal, made just before the G20 summit in London earlier this year, appeared in an essay authored by Mr. Zhou and posted on the PBOC's Web site.
The call for a new global reserve currency was among a host of factors exerting pressure on the dollar Friday. The U.S. currency fell during New York trading against the U.K. pound, Australian dollar, yen, Swiss franc and euro.
The PBOC comments "fuel concern about reserve diversification undermining the U.S. currency," said analysts at Credit Suisse.
Senior Chinese officials, including Premier Wen Jiabao, have repeatedly expressed concern about the dollar, which comprises most of China's roughly $2 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves. China is concerned that the dollar's dominance exacerbates global financial imbalances. It also worries that massive U.S. government borrowing to support stimulus spending could eventually lead to inflation, hurting the value of China's holdings.
The SDR proposal's inclusion in the central bank's latest stability report appears to formalize the idea as an official view of the central bank, which ultimately reports to China's State Council.
China's central bank said in the annual report that under the proposal, the IMF should "manage part of the reserves of its members" and be reformed to increase the rights of emerging markets and developing countries.
It also urged stronger monitoring of countries that issue reserve currencies. Central banks around the world hold more U.S. dollars and dollar securities than they do assets denominated in any other individual foreign currency.
The central bank's report, on the PBOC Web site, comes a day after Li Lianzhong, an academic at a key think tank under the Communist Party of China, said China's yuan should become the fifth currency in the SDR, joining the U.S. dollar, yen, euro and sterling. Mr. Li proposed an equal 20% weighting in the SDR basket for the five currencies.
In its report Friday, the PBOC also said China is facing both deflationary pressures in the short term and inflationary pressures in the longer term.
Deflationary pressures have strengthened this year partly because of overcapacity in the domestic market due to weak external demand and falling global commodity prices, it said. But the possibility of global price rises after market confidence recovers, excessive money supply and increasing fiscal deficits in some economies, will likely create inflationary pressures in the longer run, the report said.
The central bank's report echoed a theme in comments Thursday by former PBOC adviser Yu Yongding. At a three-day United Nations conference on the economic crisis, Mr. Yu pushed for monetary and financial-infrastructure reforms.

Southern Gardening: Desert landscapes bloom with efficient irrigation
I spent last week in Palm Desert, Calif., where the daily temperatures were 110 degrees or more and the humidity was less than 20 percent.
The landscapes I saw there are completely foreign to our lush, green gardens. Yet the landscape was quite beautiful, not bleak as I had imagined. There were lots of flowering desert plants, and I quickly realized that one of the first things I needed to get was a desert plant guide.Read more

"Mariehamn - Castles and Countryside" Top 5 Page for this destination Mariehamn by MikeAtSea
Mariehamn Travel Guide: 34 reviews and 82 photos
Mariehamn was named after Marie Alexandrovna, the Empress consort of Alexander II of Russia. Founded in 1861, the city is located on a peninsula and is known as the "town of a thousand linden trees".
Åland and Mariehamn have a reputable heritage in shipping. The Flying P-Liner Pommern museum ship is anchored in the Western Harbour. The Eastern Harbour features one of the largest marinas in Scandinavia. The famous Dutch steamer Jan Nieveen (now called F.P. von Knorring, after Åland teacher and vicar Frans Peter von Knorring) can also be found here.
The main pedestrian street, Torggatan, is a colourful and crowded hive of activity, and together with good museums, offers the visitor a leisurely day's exploration.

Since the 1970s, there has been a marked flourish of writing and research on the topics of personal relationships and intimacy. In addition to the thousands of magazine articles and popular books on love and intimacy, scientists have examined a broad array of phenomena, ranging from analysis of love and styles of romantic attachment to genetic influences on marital success. I believe that all this activity represents humanity's search for a new way of living in and understanding—a new model of—close relationships. Although our knowledge is growing, many research efforts are misguided and trivial. There is more to the study of intimacy than can be addressed by current scientific models (Berscheid & Reis, 1998). Both reductionistic and quantitative, these models fail to address both the deeper, spiritual aspects of intimate meaning and the importance of time, growth, and change that is woven into this meaning. These models suffer from several limitations. First, they do not address the future or the possible evolution of close relationships. Almost by definition, research focuses on data, identifying what is, "the given, " and tries to discover probabilities, regularities, and laws. There is room for new models that explore the possibility that relationships can be more than what we imagine they could be (see Levine & Levine, 1996). Second, most research on relationships is based on an outdated or classical (Newtonian) conception of time that ignores the dynamic and complex nature of intimacy. Third, trying to mimic the methods of the physical sciences, the social science of personal relationships has nearly divorced itself from a wellspring of previous knowledge and wisdom about intimacy. Such wisdom lies in the humanities (poetry and literature), in philosophy, and in spiritual or religious texts. This book attempts to redress the scientific paradigm and catalyze a broader, transdisciplinary exploration of how human relationships engender and awaken intimacy and how time shapes this awakening. I hope it benefits anyone who is seeking new ways of understanding personal relationships of all types.
Because it deals with time, this book may also help those who wish to recapture the meaning of intimacy in a hurried world. In fact, recent social trends suggest that those of us who are the most starved for intimacy are also likely to be those most starved for time. As a society, we have been taught, and have bought the wholesale illusion, that time is scarce (Rechtschaffen, 1996). We have fallen into a consensual trance, fascinated by information and the "media"; that is, the digitized, video-graphic, telemediated, and virtual world. Gradually and without much notice, we have cultivated an insatiable hunger for as much information as possible in the shortest possible amount of time. A central point of this book is that such hunger belies a deeply thwarted need for intimacy. The fascination with media and the hunger or search for information is a direct externalization of a deeper, forgotten, soulful longing to feel connected.

Q: My wife and I are installing a new kitchen faucet and we've narrowed the choices down to a "pullout" or a "pull-down" kitchen faucet. Can you please offer some benefits of both styles to help us decide?
— George and Lucy, Rhode Island
A: Both faucet styles have a spout with a built-in spray head that extends with a flexible hose to perform normal kitchen chores. This eliminates the need for a deck-mounted sprayer, which gives the sink an uncluttered look.

However, like the names say, a pullout kitchen-faucet spray head pulls out from the faucet horizontally, while a pull-down faucet has a candy-cane-shape spout, and the spray head pulls down vertically.
Here's where I have seen a difference: For filling things away from the sink, like a countertop coffee maker or a dog dish, the pullout style with the horizontal motion seems to have the edge. For washing kitchen-sink basins, I think the pull-down type with its vertical motion gets the upper hand.
I hope that helps you get a "better grip" on your options!

Fire Damage Shuts Down Universal Orlando Ride
by Fran GoldenPosted Jan 3rd 2011 02:00 PMUpdated Jan 4th 2011 09:34 AM
Fans of Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls at Universal Orlando will have to wait several weeks before the ride reopens after a fire with billowing smoke caused damage.
The fire started on the roof of the log flume water ride at Universal's Islands of Adventure -- the same park that is home to the highly popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
The incident caused the evacuation of Toon Lagoon, a cartoon character-themed section of the park.
Billowing smoke could be seen coming from the area, and Toon Lagoon was closed for about 90 minutes while the two-alarm blaze was extinguished.
There were no injuries, although a few guests did go to the park's first-aid station to get checked says Universal Orlando spokesman Tom Schroder.
Orlando Deputy Fire Chief Greg Hoggatt tells the Orlando Sentinel the type of material on the roof "puts out a lot of black smoke." He says investigators are looking at a possible electrical problem as a cause.
"We are working with fire officials to identify and correct the cause of the fire at Ripsaw Falls," Universal Orlando says in a statement. "We are going to repair the fire damage and also keep the attraction closed for several weeks of additional seasonal maintenance, which had already been scheduled for later this month."
There was no word on exactly when the ride would reopen.

The Leftovers of War
Colombian Designers Develop Landmine-defeating Shoe
|Arash Arabassadi
|February 12th 2014
Landmines are one of the more controversial weapons of war. Hidden from sight, they maim and kill and remain long after conflicts end. According to the United Nations, 110 million active landmines are scattered over 70 countries.
For five decades, Colombia has been plagued by insurgencies and countless, planted landmines. But, one company there may have found a way to defeat the explosives our eyes can't see.
After decades of armed conflict, landmines remain buried all over Colombia. De-miners use high-tech gear to find these explosives, but that does little for civilians.
"What we wanted was to come up with an idea for a product that could greatly benefit the soldiers and farmers that are affected by these explosives,†said Jose Ivan Perez, creative director of Lemur Studio, an industrial design firm in Bogota. He's been developing an insole that alerts the wearer of nearby landmines.
"The concept is a metal detector with a planar coil [sensor] made of conductive material that sends a signal to a device on the user's wrist,†he said. Perez says the signal will help the wearer either avoid or remove the explosive device. The Colombian government is welcoming the technology.
"If we are a country so affected by the mine problem, it is clearly justifiable and necessary that we develop our own national capabilities: research and technological development that allows for the de-miners, for example, to more safely go out to the fields to do their work,†said Daniel Avila Camacho, director of Colombia's Mine Action Program.
Camacho says much of the blame rests with what he calls "illegal, armed groups.†"Colombia continues to be one of the countries most affected by landmines in the world," he said. "To date, over the last 23 years, the country has had more than 10,600 victims.†The effects are devastating, and not always fatal.
The landmine-detecting insole is still in the development stage, and with experts agreeing that it's impossible to estimate the number of undetonated mines in Colombia… production can't come soon enough.

In reviewing life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of utility-scale concentrating solar power (CSP) systems, this analysis focuses on reducing variability and clarifying the central tendency of published estimates of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through a meta-analytical process called harmonization. From 125 references reviewed, 10 produced 36 independent GHG emissions estimates passing screens for quality and relevance: 19 for parabolic trough (trough) technology and 17 for power tower (tower) technology. The interquartile range (IQR) of published estimates for troughs and towers were 83 and 20 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour (g CO2-eq/kWh),1 respectively; median estimates were 26 and 38 g CO2-eq/kWh for trough and tower, respectively.
Two levels of harmonization were applied. Light harmonization reduced variability in published estimates by using consistent values for key parameters pertaining to plant design and performance. The IQR and median were reduced by 87% and 17%, respectively, for troughs. For towers, the IQR and median decreased by 33% and 38%, respectively. Next, five trough LCAs reporting detailed life cycle inventories were identified. The variability and central tendency of their estimates are reduced by 91% and 81%, respectively, after light harmonization. By harmonizing these five estimates to consistent values for global warming intensities of materials and expanding system boundaries to consistently include electricity and auxiliary natural gas combustion, variability is reduced by an additional 32% while central tendency increases by 8%. These harmonized values provide useful starting points for policy makers in evaluating life cycle GHG emissions from CSP projects without the requirement to conduct a full LCA for each new project.

text: Posted February 9, 2012 Here is a draft that everybody will have fun with, it's a plausible draft that never will happen, but plausible. OK here goes. Chud runs the Air Coral(sp.) style of offense, (correct?). Well by definition, it is power run first, then medium to deep passing routes second, with an emphasis on tight-ends. So with this definition in mind we hurt really BAD. We have an ageing 31 year old left tackle, A veteran left guard that's over paid, a no true right guard, and a often injury prone right tackle, with one bright spot of a Pro-Bowl Center. Wow that is a lot to think about. So let's begin: First round- would be a roadgrader right guard to help the right tackle open huge holes and help him from being so injury prone. Second round- a big left guard/OT that could push defensive tackles around and in time move out to left tackle if need be. The Picks: With the first pick- David DeCastro, who has a long projected pro bowl career ahead of him. Him and Otah could open up massive holes for our running-backs (and Quarterback) for years. There could be a trade back a little and still get him, and get an extra third round. With the second pick- Keechi Osemele a huge left guard that would help extend Gross's career. He is big, strong, and agile enough to move left tackle when the time comes. With the rest of the draft spent on nothing but defense. Starting with Weak-side linebacker. The third round pick-needs to be the best weak side linebacker left at this pick, probably one of these linebackers will be available (Travis Lewis, Bobby Wagner, Keenan Robinson, or Emmanuel Acho). Let's face it head-on nobody really wants to give up on Thomas Davis, but TD's career as a starter or even back- up is over. The forth round pick- Carmen Messina. There is a need at middle linebacker to back-up Beaston, also Conner will be gone in free agency. The fifth, sixth, seventh rounds, and all compensation picks be a defensive tackle, defensive backs, and special team players. Am maybe Isaiah Pead- I know an offensive player, but he is a college running back that will remind you a little of Darren Sproils. Massive responses encouraged.

This thread is a follow up to my previous one. It's in fact 2 questions, so I hope no one minds, as they are dependent on each other.
We are starting a new project at work and we consider it as a great opportunity to try Agile techniques in action. We had a brainstorming about ideas we read in several books and articles, and came up with concept that would suit us the best: 2 weeks iteration, followed by call with clients who would choose what stuff they want to have in next iteration. I just have few more questions, which we couldn't figure out ourselves.
What to do in the first iteration?
What to, generally, do in the first few iterations if we start from the scratch? Just give it a month of development to code core of the application or start with simple wire-frames with limited pre-coded functionality? What usually clients want to see? Shiny stuff that doesn't work or ugly stuff that does work?
How to communicate with clients?
Our initial thought it to set the process to something like this:
Is it a good idea to have a Focal Point on client side or is it better to communicate straight with all the clients to prevent miscommunication?
Any thoughts are welcome! Thanks in advance.

What Will Darren Aronofsky Do Next? It's A Commercial For Revlon...
By Joseph Giannone 5 years ago
A few years ago nobody really knew the name Darren Aronofsky. With a confusing last name and a multiple of art house films that were, dare I say, to dark for the normal audiences; people didnt know him, or his films. That has changed since The Wrestler and last years Black Swan. The man is enormously famous now, and because of him, Natalie Portman is an Oscar winner. So, what does a director like Aronofsky, who is bound to have many projects lined up, make next? He directed a commercial for the make-up company Revlon.
In what is surely to be the biggest 180 in directorial history, its surprising he choose this as his next project. But, its actually a cool commercial. It screams Aronofsky, with its arty camera shots and the black and white color. The gorgeous Jessica Biel is as sexy as ever in it. What this really proves is that Aronofsky can do whatever he wants and it comes out gold. Yet after this, what will he do next? We can only hope its a movie, but for all I care he can direct a Subway commercial and itll probably be better than half the blockbuster garbage that comes out this summer. Check out the commercial below:

KS95 overnight host, Tim Dunbar, has died
Tim Dunbar, overnight radio host at KS95, passed away at his West St. Paul home on Sunday night. Dunbar, 52, was on medical leave at the time of his death, and was undergoing radiation treatments after recently being diagnosed with throat cancer. According to medical examiners, he died of a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that reached his lungs.
Dunbar, who grew up in South St. Paul, was scheduled to return to KS95 next week following his recent medical leave. And the KS95 airwaves have been quite heavy this week, as their on-air hosts have clearly been saddened by the news of the passing of their friend and colleague.
Dunbar's evening host and roommate Darrin Stone posted this heartfelt message on Facebook shortly after hearing of Dunbar's passing:
As you may, or may not know, I am Tim's friend and have been his roommate for the past 8 months.
It is with a painful heart, and the deepest sadness that I must tell you all... Tim passed away sometime yesterday. The cause is unknown at this point, but first indications are it was sudden.
Arrangements have yet to be made. As of now I will be the point person for information and details, and I will let you all know more as soon as I can.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Tim was my brother. My best friend. I will miss him deeply.
KS95 radio hosts Moon & Staci shared some memories of their friend Tim on air on Monday, and you can listen to their fond recollections of their colleague at the KS95 website.

Diet for 6 Month Old Baby
The diet for 6 month old baby depends on the baby and her health as well as her development too. Read on to know what are the food items that your child is ready or getting ready to take. Also find out what suits your baby and whether she is allergic to certain food items or not. You will come to know all this and more after reading the article.
There is no hard and fast rule as to what should be the exact diet of a 6 month old baby. Each baby is different and responds to different foods and tastes differently. The basic thing is that solid food can be introduced after 6 months but if your baby does not want to try this, do not worry. Let a week or so pass and then you can try again.
The taste buds develop at this stage and you will find that
the food the baby refuses today, she will readily have it the other day. So,
there is no such thing that you have to completely forget about a food item if
your baby refuses it even for two days.
- Always try to give her nutritious, soft and mashed food because she is not ready to chew things right now.
- Check with your doctor before introducing any food item.
- The baby gets ready to eat, taste and digest solid food within 6 – 9 months. You can start offering different tastes to know the taste of your child. Consult your doctor first because it also depends on the development of the baby and the doctor will give you right advice.
- Avoid giving honey to babies below one year. Try other sweeteners.
- Yogurt is very safe and good and should be included in the diet for 6 month old baby.
- You can introduce cheese safely to your baby. Cottage cheese is the best and you can find lots of recipes especially created keeping in mind the age of the baby.
- You can add mashed egg yokes, as they are high in protein. They will help in mental and physical development of your child. Avoid giving egg whites until your child is one year old.
- Legumes are high in vitamins, protein, and minerals and will prove to be a great addition in your 6 month old baby's diet.
- Makes
sure you never overfeed your child with food items especially proteins.
Start Solid Foods
When your doctor advises you to introduce solid foods to your baby's diet and she is ready to take them, start trying when your baby is fresh and not tired at all. Give some time and let her enjoy the food. Let your baby be a little hungry but never wait too long so that she is left starving. This will not help you rather it will be difficult for you to handle the situation as well.
Since your baby is now 6 month old, she can sit straight. Make her sit on your lap with complete support on her back and then feed her slowly and in small portions. Also see whether she likes the food or not. When you are just starting, do not mix too much of things. Simply prepare soft cereal with milk and make it almost like a fluid.
Along with the taste you also have to look after the digestion of the child. The food should be soft and well cooked. You can also mash it to be sure enough that there is no solid part in the food. Remember the infant is not completely ready for the food because she was only fed with liquid food till now. This is simply an introduction. Do not expect your baby to finish the entire dish.

Edit Article
How to Clean Vinyl Siding
Have you ever looked at your home to find out that there is dust everywhere and cobwebs have built up on the vinyl siding. While removing the dust can take an entire day, cleaning your vinyl siding is an easy, six-step process.
1Buy a long extending pole, if you do not already have it. Extending poles are available at hardware stores, such as Home Depot in the U.S. You can also find a pole online on popular retail websites, such as Amazon. A typical pole costs less than US $50.
2Get a soft-bristle brush with a screw-on handle. The brush will be attached to your extending pole. To make sure the sizes match, you may prefer to buy the pole and the handle together.
3Fill a large bucket with warm water and dissolve soap or cleaner in it. Pour a few tablespoons of dishwashing liquid in the bucket, until the water is soapy. Use a professional-grade cleaner, such as Vinyl Renu, if the siding surface shows excessive signs of oxidation. Soapy water may not be adequate to rub the vinyl siding clean.
4Start from top and move towards the bottom. Use a spray attachment or a long garden hose to spray the mixed, warm water from left to right all the way down. If you have a single story, you should be able to reach everything from the ground. Otherwise, you may need an extension ladder.
5Dip the brush into the warm water and do not shake off the excess. Wash what you can reach from the starting point, re-dipping your brush whenever it starts to dry. The brush should be dripping wet at all times. Before moving or changing positions, rinse the soap or cleaner off of the area you just washed. If the suds run down to an area you have not yet washed, just rinse them off.
6Let the house dry on its own. Once you have washed all the areas you need to, clean your equipment, put them away, and leave your house to dry on its own.

Answered QuestionsAdd New Question

- You could also use a hose with a soap dispenser and brush attached to it.
- Be careful around outlets and light fixtures.
- Do not wash near or get your ladder near any overhead wires--it could be a shocking experience.
- Be sure that your ladder has a solid base under it to ensure that you don't fall.

I love huge tits that hang around a pregnant huge belly. The way they separate turns me on as much as women with huge tits laying on their back arms raised and tits hanging it their arm pits. Especially if they're hairy. I also enjoy women with rings trough their nipples and clit. It is a real turn on pulling on and you always get more nipple and clit stretch when you have rings to pull on. I had one women that I could pull her nipple ring far enough that I could get my little finger in with the ring. It something I'll never forget seeing her nipple pulled by my finger through her nipple. I'd pull so far that it brought tears to her eyes.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber has nominated the director of Oregon's juvenile penitentiary system to run the state Department of Corrections.
Kitzhaber says Colette Peters has increased efficiency and effectiveness during her time at the Oregon Youth Authority. She was previously the assistant director and inspector general of the corrections department.
Peters replaces Max Williams, who left the agency last year to run the Oregon Community Foundations. She takes over a prisons agency struggling with a tight budget that is likely to be cut even more next month.
Peters would be the first woman to run the prison system. She'll be the department's interim director until confirmed by the state Senate.

I'm the king game
Write the following words on individual index cards, explaining to the
children what each one means: kindness,forgiveness, honesty,
compassion, patience, happiness, peaceful, friendliness.
Select one child to be the "KING". Children sit in the circle,
while the king sits in the middle. Have each child draw a card.
The first child will describe a situation that is on their card. For
example, if they draw forgiveness, they might say: My little
sister broke my favorite toy, but I forgave her. The king will then
determine whether or not the situation describes the word.
If so, the child may enter the kingdom (inside the circle) with the king.

Thirty-five thousand people participated in online voting to give the San Diego Zoo's baby panda a name.
That announcement was made this morning by Richard B. Gulley,president of the Board of Trustees of San Diego Zoo Global, at the 28-minute naming ceremony for the 3 1/2-month-old male cub.
The panda was named Xiao Liwu, Chinese for "Little Gift."
The voting was tight, as this story from the San Diego Union Tribune reveals.
One of the speakers, Dr. Ron Swaisgood, described the baby panda as "a bit on the small side, but very healthy, very strong and vibrant. Those who work with him very closely will describe him as very peaceful."
Qiu Shaofang, consul general from the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles, described San Diego as a "home away from home" for the four pandas at the zoo.

H1N1 Swine Flu Can Infect Some Pets
Felines, Fido, ferrets, feathered friends, H1N1 flu, you, and pigs, too!
Medical Author: Charles Davis, MD, PhD
Many researchers and physicians believed it was bound to happen. And it did. Humans have begun infecting other species with "their" disease, the pandemic novel H1N1 influenza A swine flu. H1N1 infection of a domestic cat by its owner(s) has brought the concept of human-to-animal (pet) transfer of the flu to the news forefront. The infection, documented by laboratory identification of H1N1 from the feline, is the first documented case of human-to-cat flu. One of the major reasons this is news is because most people want to know two things:
2. If my family gets the flu (H1N1), are my pets (cats, dogs, birds, and others) going to get sick and die?
The answer to the first question is that, to date (Nov. 10, 2009), no documented instances of pet-to-human transfer of H1N1 have ever been published. However, that does not mean it cannot or will not ever happen. Because of the unique ability of influenza viruses to replicate in many animals, birds, and humans, it seems possible that a pet could transfer a flu virus to a human. The second answer is more complex; the current evidence is that some pets will likely get sick, and possibly a few may die.

NBA Playoff Update…April 30, 2007 on 12:17 pm | In General
OK, so I'm glad I never got round to doing those Western conference predictions that I mentioned! Because it would have just given me another chance to get everything wrong, and judging by the results so far I'd have grabbed that opportunity with both hands.
The Magic got swept in the East, I'm not really surprised by that one. Nice as it would have been for Dwight Howard to prove his star calibre by slapping the Pistons about and winning a couple of games the series was really a foregone conclusion.
More surprising is the Heat's first round exit. Defending champions and with the benefit of me predicting a series win, what did they do? Got swept. Oh dear. D-Wade and Shaq are the core of that team, and since neither of them really got it going for the duration of the series it's more understandable to see the reigning champions heading off for a long summer. Massive respect to the young Bulls team though, especially Ben Gordon and Luol Deng. A tough second round matchup with the Pistons awaits, and without wishing to put a hex on their chances I will be rooting for the Bulls.
Moving onto the West, I know for a fact that I wouldn't have been predicting some of the things that have been happening. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if anyone predicted the most surprising thing:
The Golden State Warriors.
This team hasn't made the playoffs in thirteen years, the longest stretch of any team in recent years. They made the playoffs this year by the skin of their teeth, securing the 8th seed on the final day of the regular season. This earned them a first round series against the Dallas Mavs, the top seed in the west with a regular season record of 67-15. For any team but the Warriors this probably would have seemed like a disaster. But the Warriors were the only team in the league to sweep the season series with Dallas, they're also the only team whose head coach is Don Nelson, one of the most successful coaches in NBA history and mentor of the Mavs' current coach Avery Johnson. Four games into the series and last year's finalists find themselves in a 3-1 hole (teams down 3-1 after four games have only come back to win the series 4% of the time in NBA history) and looking at a likely early exit from this year's post-season party.
All of which should be making Mike D'Antoni and the Phoenix Suns feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The offensive juggernaut driven by two-time MVP Steve Nash has also rolled to a 3-1 series lead over Kobe and the Lakers. Following the form of the regular season, the only game the Lakers have won was a result of KB-24's high scoring heroics. Forty-five points from one player is pretty special. Regardless, the Suns continue to play like a team running on pure adrenaline, pushing the break at every opportunity and tiring the other team into submission.
The Spurs are currently 2-1 up on the Nuggets, but Carmelo and A.I. caught the perennial West contenders napping in game one, combining for over fifty points and an away win. Sadly, if predictably, the Spurs took the next game at AT&T center, and then won the next away game for good measure. Game four is tonight, and is probably the Nuggets last chance to swing the momentum back in their favour.
The final series in the West is Rockets vs. Jazz. Currently tied at 2-2 there's everything to play for. This might be the most evenly matched series being played at the moment, both teams feature a strong line up capable of winning plenty of games. No doubt T-Mac will be hoping to lift his playoff curse too (he's never made it past the first round).
I'm not going to make any predictions on the final outcome of any of the above!
Finals Weekend and Trophies!April 27, 2007 on 6:22 am | In General
Finals Weekend has more or less fallen into place, and with thanks to Danny James, will again take place at WISE, Filton. The order of events will be as follows:
Saturday 5 May
- 4.00pm Women's Trophy Final teams will be known after this coming Sunday
- 6.00pm Men's Trophy Final Totterdown v Wizards A
Sunday 6 May
- 3.00pm Men's Plate Final Pirates v Phantoms
- 5.00pm Women's Cup Final Storm v UWE
- 7.00pm Presentations of League trophies and MVPs
- 7.30pm Men's Cup Final KBI v Filton 1
Throughout the weekend, the bar will be open (and it's a pretty good one) and you should be able to get snacks and such-like there as well. This will be a great opportunity to catch up with players etc from othet teams, to do some networking and to see what should hopefully be some good, tight games - last year's Men's Cup Final, fo instance, was in some doubt until almost the very end. This is when we will get a trophy for winning Division III, so it would be good if as many people as possible could go wearing Nailsea tshirts in a show of force!
NBA Playoff Time!April 20, 2007 on 4:53 pm | In General
Following the excitement of the WEBBA Division 3 Playoffs, what could possibly hope to top Nailsea's glorious achievement of winning the league and the playoffs in the team's inaugural year?
Well, there's the NBA Playoffs starting this weekend, they're pretty exciting. So I thought I'd give you a little run down of what's going on. I'll do the East today, and the West tomorrow (mainly because i've just spent about an hour writing the following, and I want to leave work now!).
So, here are the matchups in the first round, and a little about what I think (hope) will happen:
Eastern Conference: 1st Seed Detroit Pistons vs. 8th Seed Orlando Magic – The 2004 Champion and playoff-tested Pistons, still with much the same team minus Ben Wallace, match up with the young, inexperienced Magic. The Magic are my team, I love some of their players, and I would dearly love to see them play past the first round. Alas, I suspect that the boys from Motown will dispense with the upstarts on this occasion. Orlando has the matchup advantage at centre, but Detroit owns the advantage in all four other positions. I don't think the Magic will get swept (although they did through the regular season), but I do think they'll be leaving the playoff party pretty early on. My prediction is Detroit in six games, including one Orlando win where Dwight has a career night, and another where Grant Hill scores a game winning buzzer beater…
2nd Seed Cleveland Cavs vs. 7th Seed Washington Wizards – The LeBron James show starts a new playoff season with what could be a cakewalk in the Wizards. Unlucky Washington has been decimated by injuries in the last few weeks, losing both it's all-star players for the duration of the playoffs. Short of Antawn Jamison becoming Wilt Chamberlain overnight this series should be mercifully short; Cavs in five.
3rd Seed Toronto Raptors vs. 6th Seed New Jersey Nets – Toronto is the first team in NBA history to go from having the top pick in the draft one year, to winning it's division title the next. They're rolling, all their key players are healthy, Chris Bosh is a monster and to top it off they have home court advantage. The Nets aren't likely to lie down easily though, their "Big Three" have been playing well over the last month, and Vince Carter is likely to be spurred on by the hostile Toronto fans, who have booed him ever since he demanded a trade from the Raptors four years ago. This one will go the distance, and owing to the Nets greater experience I predict New Jersey in seven.
4th Seed Miami Heat vs. 5th Seed Chicago Bulls – Another tough series, last year's champions the Heat have a collection of quality veterans, emerging young role players, and superstars Shaq and Dwyane Wade. Wade is still recovering from a dislocated shoulder that forced him to miss 23 games near the end of the regular season though, and isn't his usual explosive, game-changing self just yet. Nevertheless this is a team that can win games, and won't be backing down from anyone. Chicago's post-Jordan renaissance continues, they are a young team with a veteran leader in center Ben Wallace (who has a habit of frustrating Shaq…) and a real defensive mindset instilled in them by coach Scott Skiles. My money (if I had any) would be on the Heat, but you can't count the Bulls out of this one. Miami in seven.
There you have it, NBA predictions from someone with absolutely no formal background in the game, more tomorrow as we delve into the Western Conference.

Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins dies
LOS ANGELES Susan Atkins, a member of the Charles Manson "family" who admitted ruthlessly stabbing pregnant actress Sharon Tate to death in the cult's 1969 murder spree, has died in prison less than a month after a parole board turned down a bid for compassionate release. She was 61 and had brain cancer.
Atkins, who eventually came to call the crimes a sin, died late Thursday, according to the California Department of Corrections.
Corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said that at the time of Atkins' death she had been in prison longer than any woman currently incarcerated in California.
Atkins' final chance at freedom was denied on Sept. 2. Terminally ill, she was brought to a parole board hearing on a gurney and slept through most of it, but managed to recite religious verse with the help of her husband, attorney James Whitehouse.
Atkins was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008, had a leg amputated and was given only a few months to live. She underwent brain surgery, and in her last months was paralyzed and had difficulty speaking.
She had been transferred to a skilled nursing facility at the California Central Women's Facility at Chowchilla exactly one year before she died.
Tate, the 26-year-old actress who appeared in the movie "Valley of the Dolls" and was the wife of famed director Roman Polanski, was one of seven people murdered in two Los Angeles homes during the Manson cult's bloody rampage in August 1969.
Atkins was the first of the convicted killers to die. Manson and three others involved in the murders – Patricia Krenwinkel, Leslie Van Houten and Charles "Tex" Watson – remain imprisoned under life sentences.
Atkins, who confessed from the witness stand during her trial, had apologized for her acts numerous times over the years. But 40 years after the murders, she learned that few had forgotten or forgiven what she and other members of the cult had done.
Debra Tate, the slain actress' younger sister, told the parole commissioners Sept. 2 that she "will pray for (Atkins') soul when she draws her last breath, but until then I think she should remain in this controlled situation." Debra Tate noted that she would have a 40-year-old nephew if her sister had lived.
Atkins' prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, had spoken out earlier in favor of release, saying the mercy requested was "minuscule" because Atkins was on her deathbed.
Atkins and her co-defendants were originally sentenced to death but their sentences were reduced to life in prison when capital punishment was briefly outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1970s.
During the sensational 10-month trial, Atkins, Manson and co-defendants Krenwinkel and Van Houten maintained their innocence. But once they were convicted, the so-called "Manson girls" confessed in graphic detail.
They tried to absolve Manson, the ex-convict who had gathered a "family" of dropouts and runaways to a ranch outside Los Angeles, where he cast himself as the Messiah and led them in an aberrant lifestyle fueled by drugs and communal sex.
Watson had a separate trial and was convicted.
One night in August 1969, Manson dispatched Atkins and others to a wealthy residential section of Los Angeles, telling them, as they recalled, to "do something witchy."
They went to the home of Tate and her husband. He was not home, but Tate, who was 8 1/2 months pregnant, and four others were killed. "Pigs" was scrawled on a door in blood.
The next night, a wealthy grocer and his wife were found stabbed to death in their home across town. "Helter Skelter" was written in blood on the refrigerator.
"I was stoned, man, stoned on acid," Atkins testified during the trial's penalty phase.

The Gentle Wind Project, founded in the Texas hill country has moved to new headquarters in Austin.
The gentle wind project was initially founded by our earliest members as a way to preserve the beauty and wonderful nature that West Texas and the beautiful hill country afford. While at times there is nothing "gentle" about this wind that blows through west Texas, we hope our efforts lead to a "gentle treatment" of the beautiful land that we've been blessed with.
A huge thank you goes out to these amazing Austin movers that helped us move. Couldn't have done it without y'all and we're excited to be joining such great Austin business culture.
To preserve, share, respect, and enjoy the lands of Texas.
These pictures are worth more than a thousand words.
The sun may go down, the the lights won't go out... thanks to our efforts!
Our hearts go out to the friends that saved this amazing mom and her colt from a nearby farm.
Reminding us that with a light touch and a forgiving soul, even the most prickly of situations and environmental problems can be navigated.
Wanting to join our cause? Share in our enthusiasm for the wild outdoors of Texas? Have an idea for an upcoming campaign or fundraiser? We'd love to hear from you!
