All this holiday hoopla has significantly decreased the amount of time we have to spend doing basically anything else outside of posting for Outblush. You should see the decrepit state of our kitchen floor, not that it was ever a shining beacon of cleanliness. But we don't even get an opportunity to sweep once a week anymore (awww shucks). Instead, we spend that time using the L'Oreal One Sweep Sculpting Blush Duo ($13) creating sculpted cheekbones with one compact and one brush stroke. Now if only we could sculpt our floors that easily.

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
CORINTH – As the experienced educator and administrator who guided the first three years of operation at the Northeast Mississippi Community College campus at Corinth prepares to step aside in retirement, a new director will assume those duties.
On July 1, Jason Mattox will become director of the Larry McCollum Center, as the Northeast at Corinth campus is named, in addition to continuing in his role as WIN Job Center director at the same site. He takes over the duties that Nelson Wall will relinquish come June 30.
"I'm working with Mr. Wall on the transition," Mattox said. "I have learned a lot working with Mr. Wall the past three years and he's great to work with. Certainly with his 51 years in education he has really been an asset for me."
Northeast is one of only three community colleges in Mississippi – incuding Itawamba Community College and Northwest Mississippi Community College – where communities have a one-stop shop for their job search, job training, unemployment and education needs through the Mississippi Department of Employment Security and the college.
"We also partner with the Small Business Development Center at Ole Miss, the Northeast Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center, day and night adult basic education classes, an employment program for older workers, and now Mississippi Highway Patrol driver licensing, to include many services under one roof," Mattox said.
Students can get their core academic classes, including math, English, science and history, at Corinth, and forward-thinking administrators are looking at possible additions in career and technology programs.
"We've had full classes this past semester and hope to have more in the fall," Mattox said.
In fact, the campus has already served more than 60,000 people through three quarters, on track to serve about 80,000 for the year, compared with serving 60,000 for all of last year.
"Area industries are here using our facilities every week as well as groups from the community," Mattox said. "I see us continually growing and evolving."

If this Hawaiian Hipster Fedora ($33) was going to be true to its name, it would have to come with a surfboard, a beard, and a collection of indie post-ironic surf rock* albums on vinyl. Honestly, we think we'd rather skip the facial hair and halfhearted music, and enjoy this cute, hibiscus-accented straw hat as-is.

College Hockey:NHL veteran Mair named director of player development at Canisius
Adam Mair has joined the Canisius staff as director of player development.
Mair spent the majority of his NHL career with the Buffalo Sabres and played 32 games last year with the AHL's Springfield Falcons.
"I'm very thankful for the opportunity that has been provided by Canisius College, [head coach] Dave Smith and the entire coaching staff where I'll be able to learn the many aspects involved in coaching and the day-to-day operations of running a program," Mair said in a statement. "I look forward to helping Canisius College and its players achieve their goals and aid in their future success. It is great to be involved and give back to the Buffalo hockey community that has given me so much in my career."
Mair also played for the Toronto Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils over his 12-year pro career.
"It is great for our program to have a former NHL player with over 850 professional games join our staff," Smith added. "Adam's passion for the game and his interest in helping our program reach the next level is evident on a daily basis. He is a tremendous asset to Canisius College hockey.
"Working with Adam will benefit all of the coaches, as well as Adam, and this will make a win-win situation for everybody involved. Our relationship with the Buffalo Sabres continues to grow and it's great that we can connect with a former Sabre who chooses to reside in the greater Buffalo area."
A native of Hamilton, Ont., Mair captained the Canadian World Junior team in 1999, winning a gold medal.

Caroline's 1st Birthday - Ice Cream Party (36 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
For Caroline Elizabeth Blake's 1st birthday party, we wanted to have an ice cream theme! Especially in the middle of the heat of Texas' summer! Guests were offered ice cream-looking cupcakes, a DIY ice cream bar with a slew of toppings and other yummy treats. Adorable, wooden ice cream spoons were used. Pink lemonade and "Sweet Caroline" tea was served in old mason jars with striped paper straws. The tablescape and coordinating party décor featured burlap with mint green and pink fabric. An assortment of coordinating grosgrain ribbons were used in abundance on Caroline's high chair, food serving platters and ice cream cone balloons. A birthday banner displaying a picture of Caroline for each her first 12 months was hung on thick burlap ribbon. The most unique feature of the party was Caroline's smash cake which looked like a melted ice cream cone!

These new file upload software, will make it much easier and more user friendly for our users to send large files.

One of the uploading apps that has been added is a Flash program for a faster upload speed and ideal for larger files between 100MB to 1GB. With this flash program, users can do everything they could do before, but much faster. Users interested in using this application must have Flash installed on their computer.

The second upload software that has been added is a Silverlight program which is ideal for files of any size (1MB - 2.00GB) and it supports resumable uploads. With resumable upload, you will not have to start an upload from the beginning if for any reason your connection cuts out. You would simply start the large file transfer from the point it was stopped at. To use this program, users will need to have Silverlight installed on their computer.

Once the file(s) have been sent, you will receive an email notification to let you know about the file. You can then simply click on the link in the email and download the file.

Once you have downloaded the file, the sender will also be notified that his/her file was downloaded.

This feature will add a lot of value to our site and will offer a great solution for sending files too big for email.firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724134842863937966.post-24063413174518843962010-04-20T14:45:00.000-07:002010-04-20T14:56:17.377-07:00An easy way to send large filesIf you've ever tried sending large files to one or more of your friends, you must have realized the limitations and problems with this process. With all the new digital cameras these days, the quality of pictures and/or videos are a lot higher and therefore, the size of these files are also getting bigger and bigger.

Most email clients these days only allow up to 20-25MB per attachment. That could mean as low as 7-10 images only and in most cases, no way you can send a video file under that limit. Another option would be sending the file over msn. But those of you who have tried that, know how slow the transfer is and imagine having to do that with 10 people to send them the files. So what do you do when a file is too big to email?

Spider Send, is the solution for this problem. With Spider Send, all you have to do is upload your file once and send the download link to as many people as you like. This way, your computer will not be using the bandwidth and resources for each transfer, and the download speed for your friends or coworkers would much higher than email or messenger' email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724134842863937966.post-12544062892047326842010-04-18T14:57:00.000-07:002013-06-23T12:40:04.967-07:00How to send a large file to one or more peopleHave you ever wanted to send a large file (a video, a collection of pictures, an application and so on) to a few of your friends? As we all know, it's impossible to send a file larger than 20MB in most cases over email and msn or yahoo messenger would take a really long time specially if you have to send the file to more than one person.

There's a new solution to this problem now. A new file sharing website called Spider Send was launched late November 2009. The way Spider Send works, is that you upload the file once to their server, and then from within this site, or via email, facebook, twitter and any other method, you just send a download link to your friends so they can download the file from Spider Send. So no more sending the file to multiple people, you just send the file once and Spider Send takes care of sending it to all your friends / coworkers.

Spider Send also has great deals and very cheap and free membership packages. You can send a file up to 25MB for free to multiple recipients without ever having to sign up. You can do this right from their home page. Then you can sign up for a FREE package which will still allow you to send files up to 200MB to multiple users again all for free. They have some paid membership plans as well where users get different file limits and features depending on their selected plan. Check out their different plans here: Cheap and Free file sending solutions.

This service could be used by anyone such as students, businesses, artists, photographers and so on. Basically anyone who deals with large files / pictures / videos can benefit from this great service.

What we want to do is connect cameras to a computer, and use the computer to display over multiple display units. We need to do live titling if possible. Once the live local telecast which usually takes about an hour or two a day, we would like to play other videos locally off the PC server.
Preferably everything should run off Linux, since budgets are very constrained....
Addendum -- Its not over WAN, it's over a local area. I prefer not using LAN, we would rather use co-axial cable if possible. The reason is if it's LAN, I need some kind of an Networking device, at least a thin client

I recently came across a Winchester Model 1890, .22-caliber rifle. This was the first repeating .22-caliber rifle classically designed by John Moses Browning for the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and was sold beginning in 1891. Nearly one million of these rifles were made between 1890 and 1932. They still rival any modern .22 rifle.
This gun shares a little local history. My rifle, often called a "gallery gun," was used beginning in 1925 at the Pike Amusement Park Shooting Gallery in Long Beach. It was shortly thereafter retired and put into storage. Legend has it that the shooting gallery owner; a married man, was shot by his mistress with it. She was pretending to shoot at targets, and when he wasn't looking she shot off most of his ear. It was a close shave. He survived, as did the gun. His marriage did not.
When I was in school at Saint Bernard's in Playa Del Rey in the 1970's, a small group of us would pack up our rifles and shotguns on weekends, and make the trek to the Frazier Park area near Gorman. Along with a more recent and borrowed Winchester Model 61 (1949), I learned to shoot on a Model 90 and grew to appreciate the unbelievably good craftsmanship of what was then a nearly 90-year-old rifle. We spent wonderful days exploring the back woods in Kern County and target shooting with our rifles.
If you are looking for a great place to explore, the Mt. Pinos and the Frazier Mountain area are full of surprises. It is close to the CA Landmark (#129) Fort Tejón, which has a modern reproduction fort and interpretive center. The United States Army established this military post on June 24, 1854, to suppress stock rustling and "protect" the Indians in the San Joaquin Valley. Camels for transportation were introduced here in 1858. As regimental headquarters of the First Dragoons, Fort Tejón was an important military, social, and political center, but it was abandoned September 11, 1864. Camp Latham, the Civil War camp at Rancho La Ballona, was garrisoned with troops from Tejón. Both Forts were involved a few years earlier in the Owens Valley Indian War.
About the time John Browning began designing guns for Winchester, a group called the Recreation Gun Club owned a very large tract of Playa Del Rey land. In the late 1800's, the La Ballona area was teeming with ducks, geese and other waterfowl. Large groups of hunters made their way on horseback to the Region from Downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica, and would camp near the shores of Ballona Creek and the Del Rey Lagoon.
In those days, no bird of any kind was safe (nor was a barrel of brandy), and the Club promptly shot-out the place.
In May 1905, the Gun Club sold their land to "developers" for a whopping $135,000.00, and the sale included nearly 5000 feet of ocean frontage. Several members of the Club called foul, claiming the land was worth more, but their efforts to stop the transaction failed. The next month the Guaranty Trust Company purchased the same land for $300,000.00, and 1 day later dozens of lots; a small percentage of the tract, were sold for a total of $308,000.00!
You can draw your own conclusions here.

Love my resistance bands, and my new accountability
Thursday, September 26, 2013
Got the resistance bands today, and did half of a workout after a 2 mile run. I have to say I couldn't believe the smallest band was plenty of resistance. I'm gonna be feeling this tomorrow! If I get done with my homework in time tonight, I'll do the last half of the workout.
Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't do great eating, but I've done much better today. I haven't really tracked food, but as long as I keep on exercising and trying to watch what I eat I'm happy.
Otherwise, I've been organized. I've been on time to things, and I am starting to feel more like the old me.
It's been a bit weird being single. I guess the weirdest thing is since I don't know a lot of people here I feel a bit lonely. But I am making an effort to get out and get involved.
One of the hard things is upon telling people about my break-up, I get two responses: one group of people tells me that I did the right thing, and the other group urges me not to give up on my now ex-boyfriend...that he could still change. I know the ex is not a bad person. He's a good guy, but he does have a lot of growing up to do. And, who knows...maybe there's a girl out there for him that wants to take care of him like that. But that girl is not me. And maybe he will change, but I'm not holding my breath. The relationship got to the point that I couldn't handle it anymore and further my career. And I can't explain how much better I am feeling now, albeit somewhat lonely.
As an edit to this blog entry....I don't know how many people actually see this, but I decided maybe a form of accountability would be to post the night before what my workout will be the next day. Then I can write the next day whether or not I actually did it (and hopefully I won't be writing a ton of excuses!).
Tomorrow, I am supposed to cycle for one hour.

You just need to follow what you know is right for you and not what others think. They were not with him and most men do not change and If they think so then tell them to watch Divorce Court.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Rim Fire Map 2013 today in Yosemite prompted news orders near Groveland. The evacuation zone changed Saturday and continued in place Sunday as residents in several communities were allowed back to their homes.
The Rim Fire Map 2013 is now covering a massive area, namely one hundred thirty-thousand acres. The fire is still at only seven percent containment, officials tell news. It is burning through brush and pine, while air resources are not stopping its advance.
Meantime, evacuation advisories are lifted for Pine Mountain Lake and Buck Meadows. Officials tell news that "Evacuated residents from Highway 120 east to Buck Meadows and residents of Pine Mountain Lake, with exception of Graham Ranch Road beyond the cattle guard" are now allowed back to their homes. But one community is still waiting for permission to be allowed back. "Residents along Graham Ranch Road, beyond the cattle guard, can expect to return as soon as fire conditions allow."
Meantime utilities are being resorted in some areas, officials tell news. "Pacific Gas and Electric has restored electrical service to all areas of Pine Mountain Lake impacted by the Rim Fire, with the exception of residences along Graham Ranch Road beyond the cattle guard." And while the fire is advancing, some improvements on certain flanks are being achieved. "Good progress was made with constructing and securing lines along the southwestern, northwestern and northern portions of the fire." For the latest fire map click HERE.

I could never see the sense in cutting fabric up and sewing it back together again as my mother did. But after being 'forced' to go to a quilting guild I was hooked and have never looked back since! It is the most rewarding feeling to be creative and there are no limits! I love modern piecing, free motion quilting and all kinds of skills and techniques!

Revisit brewing history this Saturday with the Province Ale Company, a wholly-owned, purely imaginary subsidiary of Dogfish Head.
This month, brewer Ragged Jordan has prepared Windsor Ale, an English-style strong pale ale. It's brewed with English Optic and Halcyon pale ale malts and East Kent Golding and Fuggles hops. "This one's pretty normal," says Ragged.
Chef Joseph Arsenault is the one veering way off-centered this month with Bukk Frites, also known as Rocky Mountain oysters. As Chef Joseph tells it, "Every spring, the cowboys would choose one or two male calves that would be used for mating, then pasture the rest. They'd castrate around the same time and hold a giant party with these delicacies. We are bringing to life the joy of this springtime festival."
And don't worry if you missed last month's beer. We held back a keg so members and newcomers can catch up and join the 12-month run of antique ales.
The beer and Bukk Frites will be available starting at noon on Saturday.

"Okay girls, good job! Practice is over for today and we look set for the finals!" shouted Ms. Sheffels, the girls cheerleading coach. It was a couple days until the finals of the cheerleading competition and High School East was the favorite to win this year, led by their beautiful and popular cheerleading captain Kelly. Kelly was every guys dream with her strawberry red hair, sparkling blue eyes, and wonderful figure. Kelly said goodbye to her friends and finished her stretches. She looked great wearing her cheerleading outfit, a black, white and silver sleeveless cheerleader top with black short skirt. Her tan belly and deep innie bellybutton completely exposed. Kelly finished her exercises and stretches and turned around right into Jen, a fellow cheerleader.
"Oh! Hi Jen!" Kelly said perkily.
"Hey there, Kel" Jen responded. "We need to talk"
"Oh? About what?" Kelly asked.
"About some things. Most of all the finals coming up. You see, Kelly, I should be the varsity cheerleading captain, not you. You know I am the better cheerleader.."
"But Coach Sheffels picked me! I really didn't have a choice Jen."
"Coach Sheffels picked you because you are prettier than me! And you did have a choice, babe...you could have said no!"
"Well I'm sorry but what can I do about it?"
"Oh there is something you can do about it....All you have to do is tell Coach tomorrow that you are stepping down as the varsity cheerleading captain!"
Kelly was shocked!
"This close to the finals? No Way!!"
Jenn smiled. "I figured you would say that...so I guess I'll just have to persuade you."
"What do you mean?" Kelly asked.
Jen grabbed Kelly by her arms and put them over her head. She then took out some colorful tree colored green pantyhose from her gym bag and tied Kelly's arms above her head onto a pullup bar that Kelly was standing under. Kelly was left dangling in the air in her cheerleading costume.
"What do you think you are doing??" Kelly snapped. "Your going to just leave me here???"
That evil smile came across Jen's face. "Oh no, babe. I'm going to torture you until you agree to go along with my plans"
Kelly got a cocky smile.
"And just HOW do you plan to torture me?"
Jen responded by sitting next to Kelly's dangling feet and taking Kelly's pretty bare foot in her hands. Without talking, Jen started running her finger tip up and down the bottom of Kelly's foot. No reaction from Kelly, just another cocky smile followed by Kelly rolling her eyes.
"Oooo, this is your big plan??" Kelly said sarcastically. "Tickling my feet? Isn't that a little childish and kid like? My feet are not ticklish anyways."
Jen tried to tickle the other foot but still no reaction. Jen stood up and placed her hands in Kelly's exposed armpits. She began to tickle Kelly under her arms but once again, no response by Kelly!
"Your 0 for 2 tonight you bitch! haha!" laughed Kelly as she mocked Jen.
Jen was getting upset now because her plan was not working. Jen paused and then thought for a little.
"Why arent you laughing? You have to be ticklish somewhere!" Jen screamed. Jen continued to look up and down Kelly's wonderful figure and body. Suddenly a smile crept across Jen's face.
"Of course! hehehe." chuckled Jen.
The cocky smile was still on Kelly's face.
"Oooo....I'm soooo scared. Are you going to tickle me again?" Kelly said sarcastically.
The cocky smile left Kelly's face as Jen touched her bare, exposed belly. Kelly took a big breath of air in as Jen dragged her fingers across Kelly's belly slowly.
"Awww...whats the matter, babe? Is your little belly ticklish?"
Kelly tried to contain herself.
"No..hehe...not at....hehe...all!" Kelly laughed.
Jen made a claw with her hand and ferociously attacked Kelly's beautiful belly as Kelly lost it!
Kelly laughed hysterically and squirmed all over the place trying to keep Jen's fingers from her only ticklish spot! Jen continued tickling up and down and across the soft skin of Kelly's belly.
Jen smiled as she ran all ten fingers on the middle of Kelly's belly, the most ticklish area of her belly. Kelly tried to suck her belly in to escape the tickling fingers but it was to no use. Jen continued to poke at her belly from all angles. Kelly giggled each time one of Jen's fingers made contact with her belly. After 20 minutes of this, Jen finally stopped!
"hehe...oh thank god! that was torture!" Kelly said while catching her breath.
"Oh we aren't done yet, hun!" said Jen
"Well I have always wanted to tell you what a sexy bellybutton you have. It's so deep that I've always dreamed of playing with it and tickling it. Is your bellybutton ticklish?"
Kelly's eyes widened as Jens fingers slowly made their way to Kelly's quivering belly and her exposed sexy bellybutton. Jen slid a finger into her bellybutton and starts to tickle the inside. Kelly goes berserk!
Jen is obviously enjoying tickling Kelly's belly button. She scrambles all her fingers all around the soft skin surrounding Kelly's navel. Then Jen pulls out a stiff feather and places it on Kelly's heaving chest. Kelly giggles and squirms as Jen slowly traces the feather down Kelly's chest right down to the opening of her bellybutton. Then Jen starts tracing the feather in circles around Kelly's bellybutton!
"HAHAHAHAHA" Kelly laughs hysterically.
"Awww....you have the cutest laugh when your bellybutton is tickled! hehe!" mocks Jen.
Jen tickles Kelly with the feather for a couple more minutes and then grabs Kelly by the waist and brings her belly to her face. Jen puts her lips on Kelly's belly and blows a raspberry!!
Jen continues to blow a series of raspberrys and Kelly shrieks with laughter each time the ticklish sensation goes through her belly. Then Kelly sticks her tongue in Kelly's belly button and starts to lick inside! The ticklish feeling of Jen's tongue in her most ticklish spot almost drives Kelly over the edge! Finally Jen pulls out her final weapon....a feather duster!! She holds Kelly around the waist so Kelly's belly sticks out. With the other hand she places the feather duster on Kelly's belly button and spins it over and over again!! With the dozens of feathers entering her belly button and mercilessly tickling the area around her navel, Kelly finally breaks!!
Jen softly kisses Kelly's belly as Kelly lets out a final giggle. Jen unties Kelly and leaves her there alone to catch her breath. The next day, Kelly went to see Coach Sheffels to tell her that she was stepping down as cheerleader captain and handing the job over to Jen. As she was saying that Jen walked by and licked her lips while starring at Kelly's beautiful belly with a feeling of arousal. As Kelly saw her starring she wrapped her arm around her so she couldn't see her belly. When Jen walked into the girls locker room she planned another attack on the most gorgeous belly she has every touched.

LOS ANGELES – The No. 18/17 UCLA basketball team will host UC Santa Barbara (3-2) in Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday evening. Game time is 8 p.m. The non-conference contest will be televised live by Pac-12 Networks. The Bruins (7-0) earned a pair of wins against Nevada and Northwestern in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 29.
Venue: Pauley Pavilion (13,800)
Tip-off Time: 8:05 p.m. (PT)
Television: Pac-12 Networks
TV Talent: Roxy Bernstein, Don MacLean
Radio: AM 570 (KLAC)
Radio Talent: Chris Roberts (play-by-play), Tracy Murray (analyst)
SIRIUS Satellite Radio: Ch. 93
SIRIUS XM Radio: Ch. 190
UCLA has opened the season 7-0 for the first time since 2007-08 and can become the Bruins' first team to open a season 8-0 since the 2006-07 team started 14-0. The Bruins have averaged 90.9 points per game this season and have scored an average of 102.0 points in the team's last three contests. Jordan Adams leads UCLA with 21.4 points per game, having scored at least 16 points in all seven games. Kyle Anderson has recorded four double-doubles (including one triple-double) in seven games, averaging 13.0 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
In his 23rd year as a collegiate head coach, Steve Alford has become UCLA's first head coach to open his coaching career in Westwood with a 7-0 record. John Wooden won his first six games as the Bruins' head coach in 1948-49. Since Coach Wooden retired following the 1974-75 NCAA Championship season, UCLA has opened its season with at least seven consecutive victories five previous times. The Bruins opened the 2006-07, 1993-94 and 1991-92 seasons with 14-0 records. The Bruins' 1990-91 team began its regular season with an 8-0 mark.
UCLA has registered an 18-1 all-time record against UC Santa Barbara. The Gauchos edged UCLA, 61-60, in the two teams' last meeting (Dec. 17, 2003) in Pauley Pavilion. Led by 16th-year head coach Bob Williams, UC Santa Barbara went 11-20 with a 7-11 mark in the Big West Conference last season. Most recently, the Gauchos defeated South Dakota State by an 83-64 margin on Nov. 29 at the Thunderdome in Santa Barbara, Calif. UC Santa Barbara has been led by Alan Williams, who has averaged 29.0 points and 11.7 rebounds per game in three contests.
Kyle Anderson registered the third triple-double on record in school history on Nov. 22, logging 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. That marked UCLA's first triple-double since Dec. 18, 1995, when Toby Bailey had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin. Anderson clinched the triple-double with his 10th assist, a dish to Jordan Adams who knocked down a shot to finish with a career-high 30 points.
UCLA freshmen Zach LaVine and Bryce Alford have played instrumental roles off the bench. The Bruins' reserve corps has accounted for 30.8 percent of its total scoring (196/636). LaVine ranks second on the team with 14.3 points per game, while Alford has scored 6.9 points per game and averaged 3.6 assists per game. LaVine scored 21 points against Nevada last Thursday and followed that with an 18-point effort versus Northwestern on Friday. Alford scored a season-high 18 points against Northwestern, connecting on 7 of 9 shots (went 4 for 4 from 3-point range).
With seven games under their belt, the Bruins have opened the year shooting at a 55.6 percent clip (sixth-best, nationally). Through games played Sunday, Jordan Adams ranks fourth in the conference with 21.4 points per game. Kyle Anderson is the only player in the conference to rank among the top 10 in rebounds and assists. In fact, Anderson ranks first in assists (7.6) and third in rebounds (9.7) and steals (1.9). Adams leads all Pac-12 players with 23 steals and ranks second in steals per game (3.3). He logged a career-high eight steals against Sacramento State (Nov. 18).
Through games played on Sunday, Dec. 1, UCLA ranks sixth in the nation in points per game (90.9) and second in field goal percentage (55.6), trailing Gonzaga's 55.8 field goal percentage. The Bruins are also ranked No. 3 in assists per game (20.1), No. 4 in assist turnover ratio (1.86) and No. 8 in scoring margin (23.0). UCLA's field goal percentage defense ranks No. 22, nationally (37.6 pct). Kyle Anderson ranks third in the country in assists per game (7.6), while classmate Jordan Adams ranks fifth in steals per game (3.29).
UCLA returns to the road later this week, playing at Missouri (7-0) on Saturday, Dec. 7, in a nationally-televised contest by CBS. The Bruins have gone 6-1 in the all-time series against the Tigers, most recently securing a 97-94 overtime victory against Missouri in Pauley Pavilion last season (Dec. 28, 2012). Prior to last year's game, UCLA and Missouri's previous two meetings came in the 2002 and 1995 NCAA Tournaments. The 1995 contest, a second-round NCAA Tournament game, is best remembered for Tyus Edney's 4.8-second game-winning layup at the buzzer.
Freshman Noah Allen suffered multiple fractures to his face after a collision with one of Oakland's players on Nov. 12. He underwent surgery on Nov. 14. A timetable for his return has not been determined. Freshman Wanaah Bail missed UCLA's first five games of the season recovering from left knee surgery before making his collegiate debut in Las Vegas on Thursday, Nov. 28. Senior Travis Wear missed UCLA's first three games (appendectomy on Oct. 28).
UCLA scored 105 points or more in consecutive games (Nov 24, Nov. 28) for the first time since Nov. 27 and Dec. 4, 1993. The Bruins had not reached the 100-point plateau in back-to-back contests since Nov. 27 and Dec. 1, 1999. Following UCLA's 105-84 win against Nevada on Nov. 28, the Bruins came five points shy of the 100-point mark against Northwestern (95-79, Nov. 29). UCLA has not scored 100+ points in three straight games since opening the 1971-72 season with seven consecutive wins with 100 or more points (Dec. 3-29, 1971).

The final exhibition for the San Francisco 49ers will be tomorrow, August 28 on the road against the Houston Texans to close out the preseason.
Majority of the roster should be already decided, but a few players need to make sure they're job is secure and not taking anything lightly. LB Michael Wilhoite will be the expected Week 1 starting ILB alongside Patrick Willis as he fills in for NaVorro Bowman to begin the 2014 year, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio didn't fully commit to him on Tuesday.
"He hasn't proven that yet totally, but we'll wait to after Thursday," Fangio said. Give these younger guys a good, healthy dose of snaps and see if they can make some progress. We're confident in Mike and we think he'll do fine in there like he did last year in those couple games he played."
The other development will be Ian Williams playing in his second preseason game, after he only had a handful of snaps on Sunday. With the bicep injury to Glenn Dorsey, Williams should be the starting NT for the opening week while Quinton Dial and possibly Tony Jerod-Eddie are the reserves.
With the off the field issues for Aldon Smith, it is presumed he will be suspended, but Fangio has already been prepared for whatever happens to him. Corey Lemonier and Dan Skuta filled in as excellent reserves when Smith missed five games while in rehab for the 2013 season.
"Because you have a feeling something may happen at this point in the season, everybody's getting reps now," Fangio said of a possible suspension. "All the guys that may play for him, [LB Dan] Skuta, [LB Corey] Lemonier, [LB Aaron] Lynch, [LB Chase] Thomas, all those guys have been getting a lot of reps so they're all ready to go. It's more of an issue when it happens in the middle of the season, just thrown on you like it happened last year. And then there's no time to adjust, you just go."
The 49ers last preseason game in Houston will be at 5:00 p.m. PT and can be seen on KPIX.

Towards Relational Sociologyargues that social worlds comprise networks of interaction and relations. Crossley asserts that relations are lived trajectories of iterated interaction, built up through a history of interaction, but also entailing anticipation of future interaction. In addition, he demonstrates how networks comprise multiple dyadic relations which are mutually transformed through their combination. On this conceptual basis he builds a relational foundation for sociology. Over the course of the book, three central sociological dichotomies are addressed - individualism/holism, structure/agency and micro/macro and utilised as a foil against which to construct the case for relational sociology. Through this, Crossley is able to argue that neither individuals nor 'wholes' - in the traditional sociological sense - should take precedence in sociology. Rather sociologists should focus upon evolving and dynamic networks of interaction and relations. The book covers many of the key concepts and concerns of contemporary sociology, including identity, power, exchange and meaning. As such it is an invaluable reference tool for postgraduate students and researchers alike.

Head Coach Jeff Lebo
Sept. 30, 2013
Practice Highlights and Interviews | 40 Day Countdown
The East Carolina Men's Basketball Team opened practice for the 2013-14 season at the Smith-Williams Center Monday afternoon, holding its first of 30 sessions over the next 40 days. Leading up to the season-opener Nov. 8, the history of East Carolina basketball will be chronicled as a part of the 40 Day Countdown in anticipation of the start of the new season. Updates will be provided daily through Twitter @ecupiratehoops.
Prior to the start of practice Monday coach Jeff Lebo and several Pirate players spoke with members of the media about the season ahead. Below are selected quotes from those interviews:
Head Coach Jeff Lebo:
On the earlier start of practice:
"Its exciting to get started. I feel like each year we get started earlier and earlier so it's going to be an interesting time. We are going to be able to slow things down and go at a little bit of a slower pace which I think is going to be good considering we have a lot new faces."
On being able to dictate the practice schedule:
"It's nice to be able to practice around your kid's academic schedules and not around when the gym is going to be open. We will be in here a lot but obviously we are still going to be in Minges because that is where we are going to play. Guys are coming in at all different times and getting in some extra shooting in breaks around their class schedule and just having a place like this is terrific for the players."
On the players use of the Smith-Williams Center:
"They love having access and not having to know when they can get into the gym. They can come here at any time of the day and have access to shoot. We are still in the process of making things more functional but once we put the toppings on our vanilla cone they will be able to reap the benefits from it."
On the inexperience of this year's team:
"It's scary. Show me a team that has a lot of new faces and a lot freshmen and I will show you a team that struggles a lot. We have got some good experience guys back and a lot of new faces. You look at the four starters we lost all from last year's team. That's a lot. Probably around 80 percent of our scoring and rebounding from last year is gone so that is going to be quite a mountain to overcome. Its also an opportunity for some younger guys and some new guys to contribute."
On the Pirates' frontcourt this season:: "We are young there. We have all new faces there and guys that haven't played very much at all so that's a concern for it. Losing Erin (Straughn) hurt too. We thought we would have him back, but with injury he is going to be out as well. Now we are going to be playing some young guys and changing how we play. We might have to go small at times. We are just going to have to toy with some things as we try to learn our team over the next month and a half."
On scheduling:
"Scheduling is an art form. We have been trying to get people to come here and play but it's been difficult. We always want to play ACC teams and we will have another opportunity to do that."
Junior Guard Paris Roberts-Campbell
On being in the Smith-Williams Center: "It's awesome. We're in here all the time as you can see before practice people are getting up shots. I was in here this morning. It's always open, and you don't have to ever worry about anything. I just want to thank everyone who had something to do with it."
On the official start of practice: "Everybody is just ready, and we're treating today like it is the first day of the season even though games don't start for another month. Everybody is focused and getting ready. We know it's going to be a long season.
On expectations for himself this season: "I definitely expect a big season out of myself because I know how hard I've been working. I've been waiting for my time to come and I feel it's here now and I'm going to bring it everyday."
On things he did to get better over the summer: "We've been working non-stop and just focused on the season and getting better. The freshman got here second session and they jumped right into it. I tried to hit the gym at least twice a day, either with different teammates, managers or by myself. I tried to prepare myself for the season as much as possible."
Sophomore Forward Marshall Guilmette
On his role for the upcoming season:
"It's going to be a lot different than last year. It's really going to be a team effort to fill in what we lost."
On the practice facility:
"It's awesome. You can come in and get up shots any time you want it's obviously a top flight facility, so we're all super excited."
Senior Guard Akeem Richmond
On the impact of the new practice facility:
"Its amazing to be able to come in 24/7. I know I come in here at 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock in the morning and put up a lot of shots. We don't have to wait on anybody. We can just get in and put up shots."
On the expectations for the season:
"We are just trying to progress and make this a better basketball program everyday. The coaches work hard and the players work hard. That's what we're going to continue to do so we can compete with any team like I know we can.""
Sophomore Guard Prince Williams
On expectations for himself
"Coming in and trying to fill the shoes of Miguel (Paul) is going to be tough, but I think I'm ready for the challenge. I have been working to improve my offense and defense, so that whatever coach needs me to do to help the team win I can do it."
On his focus during the offseason:
"My shot. I have been trying to be more consistent and being able to knock down the 3 so that teams will have to guard me. I can take it into the lane and take it up myself or dish it to others, but I need to find some consistency in my shot."

Bed and Breakfast For Sale & Advertised On The Web
However, adverts on the internet are usually not as in depth as those in magazines or other printed materials and typically are only the starting point of your investigations. And it can be time consuming just finding the starting point!
Here's a checklist of the 3 top vendors to help save you time searching for Bed & Breakfasts on sale on-line:
- Daltons
Without doubt the market leader is Daltons, who have 24,000 businesses for sale on-line and in their very successful weekly magazine.
They have around 400 Bed & Breakfasts listings, or accomodation providing property businesses for sale at any one time
Sometimes I've found their on-line database doesn't report results and instead gives you an error message. Also, the fact you can't see pictureof properties on sale without joining is frustrating.
Below is a link that I've set-up to provide search results for B&Bs throught the UK:
Daltons Online B&B List
Daltons Online B&B List
- Businesses For Sale
Spun off from the magazine "Businesses and Premises For Sale", this service has been online since 1995 linking buyers and sellers of businesses of all types. Their Accomodation lisiting stands at around 300 properties.
Again, I have been able to use their database search to save a link direct to their B&B adverts:
- Hotels To Buy
This site lists over 770 hotels on sale and they work with 50 Estate Agencies to gather their lisitng information
You cannot access their list without joining - this is good because when you are selling your property it is an important consideration to ensure that it will not be seen by your neighbours and local community, thus affecting local gossip and trade.
The sign-up page has recently been improved.
Once you have joined you can search the database here:
We will continue to search for useful resources and B&B listing services

"It's hard to stop Muggles from noticing us if we're keeping
dragons in the back garden - anyway, you can't tame dragons,
it's dangerous."
-- Ron Weasley (PS14)
"You can't domesticate a dragon whatever Hagrid thinks.
That's simply impossible."
-- J.K. Rowling (RC)
|On this page:
|Related information:
Dragons, winged fire-breathing lizards the size of a city bus, are the one of the most amazing magical creatures in the world. Dragons are terrifying and awe-inspiring as they take wing and breathe fire. Muggles remember them only as beasts from mythology, which is a credit to the ongoing efforts of the Ministries of Magic in many countries who work tirelessly to keep these huge beasts hidden.
Typically, dragons are found in mountain habitats (FB), although there are exceptions.
Wizards who work with them are called dragon keepers (Charlie Weasley is a dragon keeper in Romania). Gringotts Bank employs dragon feeders to tend to their resident dragons. It's a dangerous job, apparently, since the advert requires that applicants give next of kin (DP2). Those who study dragons are called Dragonologists (JKR).
Breeds of Dragons
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them lists ten breeds of dragons in the world, but several more appear in other sources:
Antipodean Opaleye
native to: New Zealand (and Australia)
habitat: valleys
appearance: iridescent, pearly scales
size: medium
eyes: glittering, multicolored, with no pupils
flame: vivid red
food: sheep
eggs: pale grey
Catalonian Fireball Dragon
native to: Catalonia, a region in the north-eastern tip of Spain
Though not mentioned in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a sketch of the Catalonian Fireball can be found in the pages of Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit, shown on Ms. Rowling's website (JKR). Given the similarity in names and the early canonicity of the source, this dragon may have been renamed the Chinese Fireball during the course of writing the fourth book.
Chinese Fireball (Liondragon)
native to: China
habitat: mountains (?)
appearance: scarlet with a fringe of golden spikes around its face
eyes: protruding
flame: mushroom-shaped
food: pigs, humans
eggs: vivid crimson speckled with gold
Common Welsh Green
native to: Wales
habitat: nests in higher mountains
appearance: green
flame: narrow jets
food: sheep
eggs: earthy brown speckled with green
Hebridean Black
native to: Hebrides Islands
appearance: dark, rough scales, ridges along back, tail is spiked
length: up to 30 feet
eyes: bright purple
food: deer
Hungarian Horntail
native to: Hungary
appearance: black scales, bronze horns, spiked tail
eyes: yellow, vertical pupils
roar: yowling, screeching scream (GF19)
flame: up to fifty feet
food: goats, sheep, humans
eggs: cement-colored with very hard shells
Norwegian Ridgeback
native to: Norway
habitat: mountains
appearance: black scales, bronze horns, black ridges on its back
fangs: venomous (PS14)
food: any large mammals, including water animals
eggs: black
Norway's topography consists largely of mountains, so it seems a fair deduction that the Ridgeback lives in the mountains of northern Norway, away from the majority of the Muggle inhabitants, who mostly live in the southern coastlands and valleys (Columbia).
Peruvian Vipertooth
native to: Peru
habitat: mountains (?), probably eastern Peru
appearance: smooth, copper-colored, short horns
fangs: venomous
size: small (15 feet)
food: goats, cows, especially humans
The habitat of the Peruvian Vipertooth is not discussed at length in (FB), so this is generally a matter of deduction. Since dragons in general prefer mountainous regions and (FB) ordinarily goes out of its way to note those species that have other preferences, it is reasonable to suppose that the Vipertooth prefers mountains. Given that the Vipertooth is native to Peru and that the wizarding world has successfully concealed its existence from Muggles, in fact, the only other reasonable possibilities for the Vipertooth's native habitat are the western desert, the central mountainous region, and the eastern rainforests. The desert seems unlikely, since it runs along the seacoast and is a relatively small region. The central mountains are a possibility, but the eastern mountains and rainforests have relatively few Muggle inhabitants and are difficult for Muggles to reach (Columbia), so eastern/northeastern Peru seems like the Vipertooth's most likely location.
Portuguese Long Snout
native to: the north of Portugal, around Geres
habitat: rocky summits and valleys
appearance: scales of light green and black eyes
A breed of dragon which appears in Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit (JKR).
Romanian Longhorn
native to: Romania (possibly the province of Transylvania in particular)
habitat: mountains (?)
appearance: dark green scales, long glittering golden horn
Swedish Short-Snout
native to: Sweden
habitat: wild, uninhabited mountain areas
appearance: silvery-blue
flame: brilliant blue
Since the Short-Snout prefers uninhabited mountain areas, this tells us that it specifically inhabits the mountains of northern Sweden; although this region takes up perhaps 2/3 of the country, most of the Muggle population lives in the remaining third, the southern lowlands (Columbia). Northwestern Sweden is of particular interest, since the western border of Sweden is Norway's eastern border, and Norway also supports a dragon species.
Ukrainian Ironbelly
native to: Ukraine (possibly the Transcarpathian Region that borders Romania and Hungary)
habitat: mountains (?) - possibly Northern Carpathians
appearance: metallic grey, long talons

The Transcarpathian Region of the southwestern Ukraine seems a likely candidate for the primary habitat of the Ironbelly for various reasons. It borders Hungary and Romania, both of which support dragon species of their own, so the region where the three countries touch is worthy of consideration as a dragon habitat for that reason alone. Since the Black Sea borders the Ukraine to the south, and (FB) particularly mentions that Ironbellies have been known to hunt in that area, this region is again indicated.
The Northern Carpathian Mountains running through the Transcarpathian Region of the Ukraine continue into the Southern Carpathians, also known as the Transylvanian Alps. In addition to being a mountainous area, and thus a common sort of dragon habitat, the Carpathians are sparsely inhabited by Muggles (Columbia), which would help explain how the wizarding world has managed to hush up the existence of the Ironbelly, given that much of the rest of the Ukraine is very thoroughly in use by Muggles as farmland.
