I was reading through my Instapaper bookmarks today and found a little gem from August last year that I must have forgot to Blog about. It is from the ICT Magic Blog and is titled 'Try IT this year – Ten Techie Things to try this year'.
Reading through the list is great inspiration for many of the tools we advocate here at Do-Be and I can personally say I am heading towards 8 of the 10 goals so far.
How are you doing on the list?

Players looking to score a deal on the PlayStation Vita will be disappointed to hear that the handheld console will not be receiving a price cut like the one that was recently announced for Japan. According to Shuhei Yoshida, head of Sony Worldwide Studios, the reason for this is the exchange rate.
The exchange rate has been an issue with Nintendo in recent earnings reports, as well. This could ultimately play into the price of the PlayStation 4, when released, if the exchange rates stay at a similar level to what they are currently at.

Every Thursday, the Ronald Norick Library, part of the Metropolitan Library system in Oklahoma City http://www.mls.lib.ok.us/ hosts a free lunchtime concert, open to the public in the atrium. Oklahoman's love live musical entertainment.
Today, it was Ali Harter, http://aliharter.com/sample-page/ a young woman from Choctaw, Oklahoma who has been signing and performing professionally across the United States for the last 12 years. She is an accoustic guitarist, who performed a variety of songs for a rather large crowd of about 20.
Community members are free to come and bring a lunch. The atrium is bright and spacious and typically the selected musicians are very palatable to all ages.
Many people happen upon these weekly events with surprise. So they are passing by inside the library on a visit or outside from the courthouse or business district.
More and more events have been held for the public as the downtown area has hatched from a dormant state to an increasingly vibrant and useable space drawing people from all over the city.
Another example this weekend was the free concert series at the Myriad Gardens, #OKCfest http://www.examiner.com/article/downtown-okcfest-free-family-event-part-... which featured a family event for Latin and Jazz live music, also in Downtown OKC. http://www.examiner.com/article/okcfest-2014-free-community-family-frien...
OKC has become increasingly bike friendly, with people riding their bikes in or using Spokies. http://www.examiner.com/slideshow/simple-steps-to-rental-cycling-success...
The Metropolitan Library system in Downtown OKC also hosts visual and other performance art events, along with history and community development options. The display at the front of the Norick library has samples of Oklahoma craftsmanship, from needlework, knitting, canning and cooking, painting, tennis shoe design and photography all part of the pending State Fair of Oklahoma exhibits.
The Summer Reading Program is also going on right now, extended to ANYONE from infant to geriatric.... "kids and everyone else" is what their blurbs say. Summer Reading offers a 6$ fine payment along with a wide variety of sponsored gifts for all ages to earn and win.

The key trend has completely saturated jewelry design with mediocre looks, but the Key Cutlery ($318) by Alessandro Zambelli for Seletti we actually like. They would probably feel a little awkward in our hand, but it's interesting. It's just nice not to be irritated by keys on the internet for once.

Who's going to die next in NJO?

Grey Lensman

why is someone else goign to die? because that is the word from the publishers, and the author reported htat he is faced with a delemma of having to kill a chracter
WOW - some one didnt read that book properly....
He couldnt jump to it because the falcon was not close enough, the wind was blowing too strongly, the ground beneath him went ape !
And - wookies arent tree climbers - they are tree DEWLERS - slight differnece !
Uh Wookies are tree climbers, taht is why they have huge retractable claws. YOu need to read the Black Fleet crises, and the Han solo Trilogy to get the info that jsut like out monkeys, Wookies climbe trees.
here is the excerpt from the book about chewies death
Han's eyes widened with horror; Chewie thrust the toddler into hans arms before he could begine to move, and then the wookie tuned about and half ran, half rode the wind to catch up with the fallen Anakin.
Han handed off the toddler and rushed back for the cockpit, knowing the two could neer get back to the
against this mounting storm. He brought the
un fast but steady, moving to the spot even as Chewie lifted anakin in his arms.
han locked her in place and rushed back to the landing ramp, psuhing aside those who moved into postion to help. but the
couldn't hold position now, and she drifted up and to the side--or maybe it was the ground dipping down to the side--her engines roaring in protest.
"Chewie!" he cried, hanging right off the ramp now. Several others crowded about han, holding him in place by the legs. He reached despertaly for the wookie, but the
was up too high.
Chewbacca gave his freind a resigned, contented look, then threw up anakin into Han's waiting arms.
The ground rolled and buckled, and suddenly, Chewie was far, far, away.
Now, 2 facts here, Chewie was able ot throw Anakin up to han
before, wookies could easily carry han in a "Toddler bag" while climbing the trees in Kashyyyk, without ANY problem. Now for you who dont know, there are a few basic things abot clibming trees in aforest, you either climb up the tree, climbout to a brach, or jump from branch to brach.
Chewie could have jumped, and it was lame death because there were so many "problems" that CHewie couldnt be saved, i think the Auther took this scence, and came up with all the ways he COULD succed, and made a problem so that it couldn't, winds, buckling ground, no one else could pilot, or go out and grab, couldn't land, anakin couldnt help bnecause he was unconsious.. and so on.
lame death, and a real pissy way for the best side kick to go

An 81-year-old US woman missed her own funeral after the mortuary mixed up two bodies.
Edna Lawson died on July 19, but the Texas octogenarian was not in the coffin lowered on top of her World War II veteran husband's at a cemetery last weekend.
Bruce Lawson, Edna's son, knew something was wrong when he went to identify his mother's remains at Mabrie Memorial Mortuary, but they insisted everything was fine.
Though he knew it didn't look like his mother, he was made to believe her appearance had just greatly changed through the embalming process
"Do you think maybe you have the wrong body? Maybe it's someone else back there? And she said we don't make those kind of mistakes."
In his grief Bruce became convinced his beloved mother's appearance had changed through the process of embalming and the family went ahead with the service.
After a memorial at the Pentecostal Missionary Baptist Church a coffin with was supposedly Edna's body was put on top of her husband in a shared plot of a Houston cemetery.
Days later the Lawsons received a phone call from the funeral home saying they had Edna's body in the back.
Bruce returned, was once again asked to identify the body, and said, "now that's my mom."
Edna's three children now have to face the process of memorializing and burying their mother all over again.
The other body, whose identity has not been released, has been exhumed. Her family has been notified of the situation as well.
And the funeral home has apologized, saying, "When Mabrie Memorial Mortuary discovered the mix up, we immediately contacted the affected families, apologized for the error, and took all appropriate steps to rectify the situation.
"We have also taken steps to insure that a similar situation does not happen in the future... We deeply regret that the Lawson family had to endure this temporary delay in properly transitioning their loved one and will do everything we can to make the remainder of their experience comfortable."
But the apology will only go so far for Bruce and the rest of Edna's family, who worry about their mother even after death.
"She wanted a spiritual way to leave this earth but it got robbed from her and her spirit."

I can't say anything yet 'cause i have been taken these capsules only one week. I hope this works :)
Started using this a few years ago when my shoulder locked up and it turned out to be from calcium deposits that had built up around the joint and begun pinching a nerve. Initially I had no movement (well maybe an inch each way with lots of pain) in the arm so it was serious. After going to a regular doc for and xray, I did go to the acupuncture doc in initial phase to help with the pain, but then used this to rid myself of the deposits. The whole process took about 9 months to get my arm/shoulder back to 100%. This formula would be very helpful for anyone fighting diseases that involve calcium deposits. I have tried stopping the formula, but when I do within 6 months I find the deposits have started again, they build up in my joints and create problems with movement. The formula did not rob my system of needed minerals as some cleansers/detox formulas do.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Smitty Great media stand, but some issues I've had this media unit for several months now, and I figured it was time to write a review. This is a great media stand. It holds my 32" TV no problem, and could probably accommodate a 40". There is a TON of storage space in the cabinets. There is a shelf in there, and I can fit my entire DVD collection, plus a few books and magazines. The unit feels substantial, not chinsy, and looks great in the space. I did have one issue. The unit went together fine, until I got to the 2nd door. The hinge screws wouldn't stay in their holes, and when I attached the door, it fell clean off the hinges. I had WM send me another door, but had the same problem. I ended up fixing it myself by gluing the screws into the holes, but it was a pain that the doors were designed so poorly. Overall, I would recommend this to a friend. However, the potential for problems should be taken into consideration before purchasing--especially since the issue arose with two different doors.

Local Denver author, Mike Befeler, created his own genre, 'Geezer-lit,' and has published two books that show how life may begin at sixty, but so can murder. Retirement Homes Are Murder (2007) and Living With Your Kids Is Murder (2009) are both part of the Five Star Mystery Series. Living With Your Kids Is Murder is a finalist for the Lefty Award for the most humorous mystery novel published in 2009.
Befeler said, "I started looking ahead to what I wanted to do when I retired. In 2001, at the age of 56, I made the decision to pursue fiction writing. I sold my first novel in 2005 as the result of a pitch session at the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Conference."
Befeler strives to do more than simply publish books. He wants to promote a positive image of aging. He said, "I have a presentation titled Aging and Other Minor Inconveniences that I give at retirement homes and service organizations such as Kiwanis, Rotary, and Optimist. I'm always willing to speak to groups along the Front Range."
Befeler described the manuscript he is currently working on. "Imagine Dirk Pitt morphed into a retired mathematics professor and conspiracy nut with a butt-kicking, surrogate-daughter sidekick. Elmore Kranz bombards the police with his predictions of disaster until one of them actually happens, to the point that he's implicated in the plot. Even with the assistance of his one ally, rookie cop Britney Chase, people start dying around Elmore as attempts are made on his life. Elmore and Brittney team up to solve a hundred year old puzzle while thwarting a secret government agency and an Afghani terrorist group trying to get their hands on a doomsday weapon."
But isn't that everyone's idea of a cozy retirement?
Befeler's advice to new authors: "Start writing and keep doing it. I meet so many people who have stories to tell but never sit down to start. Others start and get discouraged. You need to develop sound writing skills and be willing to learn, but beyond that, successful writing is 90% perseverance."

In some situations, we can use "were" with "I" although its grammatically wrong. But somehow it's being used many times, I don't know the situations any idea guys??
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

I were, used in the kind of contexts Irene has mentioned in her comment, has traditionally been regarded as a subjunctive from. It is certainly grammatical. The authors of 'The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language', however, refer to it as 'irrealis, indicating that it conveys varying degrees of remoteness from factuality.' Their view is that the difference between were and was in such constructions 'is one of style level . . . were [being] somewhat more formal than was.
It's not grammatically wrong.
We use "If I were," "if he were" etc. for:
You can use this structure particularly when writing about something hypothetical, unlikely, or contrary to fact.
"I wish I were a sea cucumber." This is grammatically right, as this mood is used to express a wish or possible situation that is currently not true.

The AMA has to find it's backbone and stand up to the FDA! Dr's see every day and treat illness borne from the effects of our tainted food industry, and most Dr's and health care practitioners are frustrated and incesned by the FDA's loss of focus and it's 180 degree about-face from it's original purpose--to protect people's health. Let's change how things are run and stand together for change!
Monsanto Has Taken Over the USDA
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been taken over by an outside organization. RootsAction has launched a campaign demanding a Congressional investigation.
The organization is called Monsanto.
Monsanto is, of course, the world's largest biotech corporation. These are the people who brought us Roundup weed killer and the resulting superweeds and superbugs, along with growth hormones for cows, genetically engineered and patented seeds, PCBs, and Agent Orange -- which Monsanto now wants us to use as herbicide on genetically engineered corn and soybeans.
This chemical company -- responsible for environmental disasters that have destroyed entire towns, and a driving force behind the international waves of suicides among farmers whose lives it has helped ruin -- has monopolized our food system largely by taking over regulatory agencies like the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A recent study links Roundup to autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's.
While Hungary has just destroyed all Monsanto genetically engineered corn fields, the USDA takes a slightly different approach toward the chemical giant. The USDA has, in fact, never denied a single application from Monsanto for new genetically engineered crops. Not one. Not ever.
The takeover has been thorough. Monsanto's growth hormones for cows have been approved by Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto lobbyist turned USDA administrator and FDA deputy commissioner. This was after Margaret Miller, a former Monsanto employee, oversaw a report on the hormones' safety and then took a job at the FDA where she approved her own report.
Islam Siddiqui, a former Monsanto lobbyist, wrote the USDA's food standards, allowing corporations to label irradiated and genetically engineered foods as "organic."
The recently passed and signed law nicknamed the Monsanto Protection Act strips federal courts of the power to halt the sale and planting of genetically engineered crops during a legal appeals process. The origin of this act can be found in the USDA's deregulation of Roundup Ready sugar beets in violation of a court order. The USDA argued that any delay would have caused a sugar shortage, since Monsanto holds 95% of the market.
The revolving door keeps revolving. Monsanto's board members have worked for the EPA, advised the USDA, and served on President Obama's Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations.
Clearly, an investigation of large-scale government corruption by this singularly destructive corporation is long overdue. RootsAction is asking everyone concerned, wherever you are in the world, to join in demanding the opening of that investigation right now.
And then get ready to join Nation of Change and organizations and individuals around the world in a March Against Monsanto on May 25.

Meet our Interns: Essam and Noel
By Maria Sandu on Jun 17, 2013
Hi! My name is Essam and I am an intern in the Middleware Tech Pre-sales team. I graduated from the King Saud University in Saudi Arabia, Software Engineering Department. The first few weeks at Oracle were really good, I met a lot of new people and this helped me see that life as an employee is different from the university. I wasn't expecting all employees and managers to be as helpful as they were. Even though they have their own work, responsibilities and deadlines to meet, they always stop to listen and help.
For students to maximize their chances of being accepted to
an Oracle program, I think they should know more about the products and the
core business of the company...

In the professional life we meet several stakeholders. As a startup planner I have worked with varied entrepreneurs where 80% of them belong to first generation. They come with a basic business idea, passion and a proposal for startup funding. The unfortunate thing in India is that many ideas go into oblivion owing to fund crisis. Thus many a bright idea goes into dustbin. Sadly there is a big gap in venture funding in India. Banks have several prescriptions to sanction loan. Government makes so many laws and when it comes to implementation there would come many blockades. The target beneficiaries of such provisions face bad music when they refer to the rules.
While the above is a common thing in India fortunately here is a technology product venture first of its kind I came across in the recent past. They hold wonderful products. Products relevant to market and products planned well. Every product takes time to evolve to the wholesome market requirements. Even market requirements are never the same. Thus the products though need certain elevation they are great in 'as is where is' basis. Further the promoter is a passionate individual who wear technology and who talk philosophy. The co-promoter is a dreamer with many a plan.
The three most important requirements for general well being of a business could constitute:
- Respect to stakeholders
- Clean and straight communication
- Display of humble, transparent and affable attitude when things go wrong in the enterprise
Stakeholder sustenance is enterprise sustenance. When the very stakeholders find non-transparency in interactions how could an enterprise sustain. It may sustain. But how long?
Brand identity for an enterprise starts with employees. Employees are the first carriers of brand. Any undue treatment to employees would result in bad branding. Positive relations with stakeholders are the next element that contributes to brand identity. Stakeholders such as suppliers, service providers and collaborators carry the brand image in every interaction they make with their other clients. They take with pride the name of their honorable client. In the same way when context arise they also share their displeasure about the clients. The next element is the collaborators and partners. These entities make much bigger impact in a positive brand identity. Any bad relationship with such stakeholders will obviously cause a bigger dent on the brand identity.
Is it not that such enterprises cause disappointment to stakeholders? How can enterprises forget these growth-hindering aspects?

On Wednesday, Scale the Summit will be kicking off their co-headlining tour with The Ocean.
The tour will be making a stop in Pontiac at the Pike Room on Monday, March 24.
The show will also feature openers Atlas Moth and Silver Snakes.
Scale the Summit are touring behind their fourth album The Migration, which was released in June on Prosthetic Records.
Lead guitarist Chris Letchford says the band is ready to get back on the road.
Q: You guys are headed to Pontiac in a few weeks. What can people expect from the show this time out?
Chris: Well we're doing our first ever video production for this tour. Normally we just do a normal light show but we wanted to try something different and have some imagery behind us which works really well for instrumental bands who don't have a singer as focal point. Yeah, so we're going to have video production that was custom made for each song.
Q: How did you guys go about deciding on a set list this time around?
Chris: We're playing a lot of new stuff but we've mixed in something from all of our records except for our first album. We swapped out some of the songs that we always play; some of the hits. Hopefully people won't be disappointed there but we wanted to fit some other things in. We are co-headlining so we get about an hour and on the nights where we close about an hour and ten minutes.
Q: Is there a song that you are looking forward to playing the most?
Chris: We brought back "Black Hills" from our third record which we haven't played in a long time so I'm really enjoying that one. We also brought back the Japan release single "Redwoods" so that's a lot of fun as well.
Q: Scale the Summit is known for sticking to the studio recordings on stage but have you added anything to any of the songs this time out?
Chris: For the most part we stick to the songs note for note but we actually have three songs out of the twelve we're playing which have extended jam parts on them. Me, Travis [Levrier] and our bassist [Mark Michell] trade off.
Q: Can you talk a bit about making The Migration album and what made this process different?
Chris: This was the first album that we've done where we actually accomplished the sound that we wanted. That's all thanks to Jamie King, our sound engineer. We told all of our engineers in the past that we wanted a more natural, organic sound when it comes to recording. You know, not too over-processed or completely squashed by mastering but it always ended up never coming out quite the way we wanted it to but Jamie finally understood what we meant by that. He had the skills to know how to accomplish that sound. It was the most fun that we've had recording through having the final outcome be perfectly what we had envisioned. On top of that, we had a lot of time to re-work all of the songs. I pretty much handle writing the core of the songs and I start working on them as soon as we finish whatever album we were previously working on. I start writing the next album right away so that we don't have to rush when it comes down to time in the studio. We can re-work them and get them to be the best as we can imagine them.
Q: Do you have a favorite track off of the album?
Chris: "The Traveler" is my personal favorite because it comes down to that song is really fun to play. As far as the strongest track I still think that either "Odyssey" or "Atlas Novus" are as far as all the elements. You know, good structure, good parts, and dynamics and stuff like that but "The Traveler" is by far the most fun song that I've ever written.
Q: What do you find is the most difficult part about sitting down to record a album without vocals?
Chris: Well making the record full enough to keep the listener's attention but at the same time not have it be too virtuoso-like and washed out with a bunch of shreds. It's kind of like what's different about our band from a lot of guitar-virtuoso records. It's more of an instrumental band record instead of just a focal point. Though we are very strong in the guitar community, everybody has their moment to shine. For instance we have rehearsals all the time without our bass player because he lives about five hours away and they are the most boring rehearsals. Just missing that one element just I don't know, the songs just lose their form. What I like is that I always keep room in the songs for you know drums here and bass here and something for the other guitar player here. It's tough but I think now being the fourth record that we've kind of got down a method for making the songs complete enough but not over-the-top.
Q: What keeps you guys going?
Chris: The fans really. I mean I obviously love writing music and performing and recording but I think I always like pushing myself and the rest of the guys more because of our fans. Just talking to them after every show and just hearing how much our music means to them is what really makes it all worthwhile. No one really buys records anymore so you have to look at an album as pretty much your business card and we never started the band with the just the goal of making a living. We're just playing music because we love it.
Q: Is there something you still hope to do as a band?
Chris: Well it used to be touring with Dream Theater but that came so quick in our career that it kind of messed up the flow of a growing band. I figured that the point where we are in our career now is where we'd get an offer like that. We'd love to do another tour with them but I really just want to make it out to Australia and Japan and South America eventually just because we tour so much in the States and Canada and we finally made it to Europe this past December. Really we just want to stick around. So many bands come and go with just one or two records and we're on our fourth so I feel like we're on a pretty good foundation for the long term. I just want to be able to last and make it to that ten album mark.
Q: What do you have coming up after this tour wraps up?
Chris: Well after this tour we have the Cruise To The Edge ship tour with Yes, which is going to be awesome. Then we're taking a couple of months off and then we've got some stuff in the works for July and August but nothing confirmed yet.
Q: For those who haven't heard you guys yet, give us a quick description of your band.
Chris: Oh man, that's something that we've struggled with since the beginning of our band. We used to use "adventure metal" and we still do from time to time but telling someone that it's instrumental progressive metal is so hard because it can mean so many things to so many people. I just tell them our music will take them on a journey with a lot of memorable melodies.
Q: Do you have anything else you want to share?
Chris: Just come check us out at the Pontiac show for sure and the rest of the tour.
Doors for the show at the Pike Room open at 7 pm and tickets are $13 in advance and $15 at the door.

With a little inspired collaboration the "bonus room" in the 2014 Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Home for the Holidays Showhouse became a can't-miss, soulful retreat. The lovely and talented duo of CLOTH & KIND, Krista Nye Schwartz and Tami Ramsay transformed the bonus room and vestibule into a stunning speakeasy using our new Shriva jute rug. We caught up with Kirsta and Tami to find out more about their partnership and the philosophy behind their Showhouse room.
What energizes you?
Creating homes for our clients which embody our personal design belief that each space should be brimming with history and heart, with story and substance.
Where did you grow up and how do you think that has influenced your style?
Krista // I grew up in Chicago, but spent a most transformative year of my life living in India with my family as a young child. It's clear to me that a seed was planted deep inside of me that year and it's been glorious to watch its deep-rooted influence on my sense of interior style blossom and evolve over the years. I tend to have a bend towards a global aesthetic, but made more sophisticated and current with modern and luxurious touches.
Tami // I grew up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in a sprawling beach house nestled in the sand dunes. This early experience with the natural world has greatly influenced my design aesthetic. I am forever inspired by the layers of textures, hues, and relics of the world around me.
Who or what is inspiring you right now?
We're totally obsessed at the moment with reinterpreting and modernizing traditional styles of window treatments (think Victorian) by using neoteric textiles & trimmings, Southern California fashion & jewelry designer Kendall Conrad, Melissa Sutton of Plum Collective & brutalist chandeliers.
Where is your favorite place to travel for leisure?
Anywhere that is steeped in history and chock-full with treasure troves of interesting architecture & textiles. Preferably somewhere international… and warm!
What is your favorite quote?
Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. – Mahatma Gandhi
Where did you start when designing this room?
Given the tucked away location of the vestibule and bonus room, we were inspired to turn the adjoining spaces into an alluring destination in the home – a seductive and modern day speakeasy. A cheeky nod to the blind tiger, as speakeasies were often referred to during the prohibition era, we swathed the walls of the vestibule in ZAK+FOX's luxurious Khaden tiger print fabric. Dark and sultry trim, ceilings and walls in Sydney Harbour Paint's Jaguar sets the mood and creates the ideal backdrop upon which a myriad of geometric shapes are echoed throughout the bonus room in watery shades of cream, blue & indigo, plum, blush pink and neutral.
How would you characterize the room?
The ultimate destination. A space that beckons with promises of lounging and frivolity.
How does Shriva work with your aesthetic?
The interlocking jute braids of Merida's new Shriva rug created the perfect textured, yet neutral foundation for our modern day speakeasy. We layered vintage rugs and several comfortable seating arrangements atop this gorgeous natural fiber floor covering, and Shriva simultaneously added visual interest and complimented the array of textiles and hues we used in the space.
Oh, and we just have to add that one of the primary reasons we adore Merida's rugs are that their weaving partners are certified by GoodWeave and provide much needed employment to nearly 4000 Indian women. Now THAT works well with any aesthetic.
Warmest wishes of sincere thanks to Merida for partnering with us and embracing our vision for the 2014 Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Home for the Holidays showhouse.

Arizona Women's Basketball

Arizona vs. Oregon
Post-Game Quotes
Arizona Head Coach Joan Bonvicini: "Oregon is a very good team. We had a hard time matching up with them because of their size, but they probably thought the same about us and our quickness."
"Dee-Dee had a great game. She did good for us all around tonight."
"Early foul trouble worried me a little bit but our bench held their own and stepped up."
"The freshmen are really good. They make me nervous at times, but they play hard and compete. They gain confidence every time they are out there on the floor."
"We forced a lot of turnovers in the first half. When Polkey got four fouls I was scared, but the bench stepped up."
"Oregon is a great team. They are very well coached. I know when we go up to Oregon it will be tough. ?'The Pit' is a hard place to play."
"We are quick. Oregon has size, which concerned me but we just wanted to put pressure on them and anticipate the ball."
"Jessica and Ch?© are both very talented players and are becoming smarter. They contribute a lot when they play defense."
Freshman Guard Jessica Arnold: "We wanted to get out in the transition game. Our guards did a great job getting up and down the court."
"Things are slowly coming back for me. I just have to get used to the brace. It restricts me a little bit. It's harder to shoot with my left hand, but I just have to get used to it. I'm slowly getting back into things. I feel a little better every practice. After the season, I will have surgery. It's the same as my previous two injuries."
"We are trying to be more aggressive and get to the basket. We started off slow, but Dee-Dee's threes got us started."
"UCLA was a big game for us. Oregon is a good team, too. Coming off of that big win, we needed to beat Oregon on our home court and start another streak."
"We know that we need to step up and not rely on Dee-Dee and Polkey. We need to relieve the pressure on them."
"We've had a lot to learn, and we still have a lot to learn. As time goes on, we'll continue getting better after our freshman year."
Senior Guard Dee-Dee Wheeler: "We started off really slow. Oregon is a great team. They have a lot of weapons. We tried to slow them down to change the tempo and get to them."
"We didn't look good at the beginning, but we made adjustments at half time. That got to them and allowed us to get in our game."
"We started off really well at UCLA, but we didn't do that tonight. We were able to finish the first half strong though. They were out-rebounding us, so we had to get on the boards."
"The freshmen look great. If we can count on them, things will be great for us. I want them to be able to continue to grow as players."

Jennifer Lawrence Smokes at Bacaro; Juice Generation Cures Lady Gaga
Plus: Alec Baldwin celebrates his birthday at the General, and more, in this week's roundup.
Celebrities feasted in all forms this week — power-lunching, day-drinking, and fine-dining. Kevin Spacey ordered a round of shots at Hudson Common; J. Law smoked cigarettes outside of Bacaro; Jonah Hill "tried really hard to woo" his date at Joe's Shanghai; and Lady Gaga's hip was miraculously healed after ordering three twenty-ounce smoothies from Juice Generation. "Monstrous thirst" and more in our weekly guide to celebrity dining.
75 Main: Calvin Klein started this year's seasonal Long Island migration early. The designer stopped by the Southampton staple after hitting Cole's Greenwich Village with friends. [Page Six/NYP]
Bacaro: Jennifer Lawrence drank with a group of guys on Saturday night, and America's best friend was spotted smoking outside the Lower East Side Italian restaurant. There were no reports of her cigarette being particularly funny-looking. [Page Six/NYP]
Bagatelle: Michael Strahan, fiancée Nicole Murphy, and friends ordered lobster omelettes and pancake short-rib sandwiches, while day-drinking Moet Champagne and tequila at this meatpacking district restaurant. The group "sang and danced" until about 6 p.m., at which point we assume they all went home to take a nap. [NYDN]
Four Seasons Grill Room: David Koch, Wilbur Ross, and Leon Black conducted an unofficial billionaires' luncheon at the midtown east restaurant, dining at separate tables Monday afternoon. [Page Six/NYP]
The General: Alec Baldwin ventured to this Lower East Side sushi place for a birthday dinner with his wife Hilaria, daughter Ireland, and, of course, her modeling agent. [Page Six/NYP]
Dream Downtown: Jenny McCarthy "sexplored" the bar at this Chelsea hotel. She sipped vodka sodas, while reassuring fans her VH1 show has been signed for a second season. [NYDN]
Hudson Common: Kevin Spacey ordered a round of shots for friends at the Hell's Kitchen burger joint. We hope they paid it forward by ordering him duck fat fries. [NYDN]
Jazzy's: Jeremy Irons must have worked up an appetite discussing gay marriage. The English actor was spotted in the Soho deli. [Grub Street]
Joe's Shanghai: Jonah Hill went on a disastrous date with a brunette at Chinatown's soup dumpling den. Midway through the meal, a fan leaned over to say he'd buried his father earlier that morning, but was mostly happy to have met Jonah. You win some, you lose some? [Page Six/NYP]
Juice Generation: Lady Gaga is recovering, little monsters. The injured star stopped at the smoothie spot for "Protein Buzz," "Daily Detox," and "Mr. Greengenes." Apparently blended whey, protein, berries, and almond milk are a panacea for hip pain — mother monster was later spotted on her way to Bikram yoga ... in heels. [NYDN]
Orso: Edward Norton and Michael Keaton picked this Hell's Kitchen Italian spot to discuss their upcoming film Birdman with director Alejandro González Iñárritu. [Page Six/NYP]
Philippe Chow: Patrick Ewing dunked dumplings in soy sauce with Amar'e Stoudemire at Nicki Minaj's go-to Chinese spot. [Page Six/NYP]

Hold the Sauce
In the confusion and bounty of the holiday season I can't say for sure how I came into possession of a bottle of 1990 Vigna La Miccia Marsala Superiore Oro, but I'd like to thank the giver, whoever he or she might be, and add one more entry to the list of New Year's resolutions I published recently:
11. Rediscover Marsala.
I first became acquainted with real Marsala in Sicily some twenty years ago, when I was attending a literary conference in Palermo, although I don't remember which I might have had.
Marsala was once one of the most famous wines in the world, and already had a long history when English wine merchant John Woodhouse arrived at this town in Western Sicily in 1770. He essentially invented what we now call Marsala by adding grape spirit to the sweet wines of the area, presumably imitating the production methods employed in making Port, which was fortified in part to help preserve it for shipment. The British navy became early customers, keeping Nelson's fleet buzzed on the stuff, and it soon became one of the most famous wines in the world
Fame eventually ruined Marsala, or nearly so; by the middle of the last century it had become essentially an industrial product, better suited to making sauce than to actual drinking.
In the early 1980s, a former race car driver and bon vivant named Marco de Bartoli set out to resurrect Marsala and create a wine worthy of its renown. Bartoli's signature wine is the Marsala Superiore 10 Anni, hailed by Joe Bastianich, in his book Grandi Vini as one of the 89 greatest wines of Italy. (Can't tell you how he came up with that particular number.)
Bartoli's vineyards are located near the coast where sea breezes moderate the hot summer temperatures. His 10 anni is made with the solera method, used in Sherry making, whereby wine from successive vintages is aged in adjacent barrels; each year a portion of the oldest wine is bottled while the rest is blended in with the next youngest vintage, which in turn is blended with wine of the previous vintage, and so on. In the case of Bartoli's ten year solera, this process is repeated with ten different sets of barrels each year.
Bartoli sometimes makes a single vintage wine, which, like the solera wine, is fortified during maturation with a dose of aquavit. The 1990 I opened this past week, with the foolish idea of using it to make a marsala sauce, is an amazing example, an slightly sweet, nutty, slightly oxidized nectar that reminded me of all kinds of dried fruits. I couldn't quite bear to dump it in the sauce so I switched the recipe to Veal Milanese and drank it as an aperitif and an after-dinner drink over the next couple of nights.
At 18% alcohol it's only a little more potent than most dry wines, and I would describe it as moderately sweet, certainly less sweet than the average Sauternes.
Currently, the only retailer in the States with bottles on hand is Chambers Street Wines, where it sells for 59.99. The 10 Anni is fairly widely available and seems to retail for $40 to $50 in most markets.

Jerrelle Benimon had 20 points and 21 rebounds for Towson, while Eric Moreland led the Beavers with 16 points and 18 rebounds.
MOVING ON UP: Roberto Nelson and Devon Collier both entered the season as members of the 1,000-point club, and they continue to move up Oregon State's career scoring list:
Oregon State Career Scoring List
10. Scott Haskin (1989-93) -- 1,319
11. Brent Barry (1992-95) -- 1,304
12. Ray Blume (1978-81) -- 1,288
13. Jared Cunningham (2010-12) -- 1,271
14. Roberto Nelson (2011-present) -- 1,255
15. Cliff Crandall (1946-49) -- 1,248
t16. Brian Jackson (2000-03) -- 1,236

19. Devon Collier (2011-present) -- 1,222
20. Freddie Boyd (1970-72) -- 1,221
NATION'S TOP SCORING TANDEM: Roberto Nelson (25.5) and Devon Collier (22.4) are the top scoring tandem in the nation through Dec. 15 games, averaging a combined 47.9 points. The top scoring tandem in a full season in Oregon State history is Mel Counts (26.7) and Jim Jarvis (13.9) at 40.6 points in 1963-64 (note courtesy of #MattStats).
Roberto Nelson (24.7) & Devon Collier (22.7) -- Oregon State (47.4)
Reger Dowell (22.2) & Brandon Edwards (19.7) -- Texas-Arlington (41.9)
Jabari Parker (22.1) & Rodney Hood (19.3) -- Duke (41.4)
Jelani Hewitt (22.0) & Tre Bussey (19.3) -- Georgia Southern (41.3)
MAKE IT 20+ AGAIN FOR DEVON: Devon Collier has scored 20-plus points in five consecutive games after going for a then career-high 29 at Maryland, 20 against SIUE, a career-best 32 at DePaul, 20 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and 24 against Maryland Eastern Shore. It's the longest streak by an Oregon State player since Gary Payton reeled off seven 20-plus point games from December 1989 to January 1990. The school record is nine by three players.
Oregon State Consecutive Games With 20+ Points
9 Jose Ortiz (March 1986 to December 1986)
9 Mel Counts (March 1963 to December 1964)
9 Swede Halbrook (December 1953)
8 Freddie Boyd (December 1971 to January 1972)
7 Gary Payton (December 1989 to January 1990)
7 Steve Johnson (February 1981 to March 1981)
7 Swede Halbrook (January 1955 to February 1955)
DEVON BACK TO SOPHOMORE FORM: Devon Collier is second in the Pac-12 and seventh in the nation in field goal percentage through Dec. 15 games at 69.4 percent (50-for-72). Collier made just 51.2 percent (146-of-285) of his shots last season after leading the conference in field goal percentage as a sophomore at 61.5 percent (176-of-286).
DOUBLE DOWN FOR DEVON: Devon Collier has four double-doubles in his six games this season, which is tied for second in the Pac-12 even though the Beavers have played the least amount of games of any team in the conference. Entering this season, Collier had five double-doubles in 98 games. The lefty has been a beast on the boards, as he's averaging 10.0 rebounds per game, which is tied for second in the Pac-12 through Dec. 15 games. Collier averaged 6.0 rebounds last season, 5.2 as a sophomore and 4.4 as a freshman.
MAKE IT 24 IN A ROW FOR ROBERTO: Roberto Nelson has scored in double figures in 24 consecutive games dating back to last season, which equals the 10th longest streak in Oregon State history. The school record is 89 games in a row by Mel Counts from 1961 to 1964. If Nelson is able to score in double figures in every game this season (guaranteed 31), he would end his college career third all-time with 49 straight with a chance to move up based on postseason play.
Oregon State Consecutive Games With 10+ Points
89 Mel Counts (December 1961 to March 1964)
50 Gary Payton (December 1988 to March 1990)
40 Scott Haskin (December 1991 to January 1993)
37 Freddie Boyd (December 1970 to January 1972)
33 Jose Ortiz (March 1986 to March 1987)
32 Dave Gambee (January 1957 to February 1958)
29 Philip Ricci (January 2002 to January 2003)
27 Corey Benjamin (January 1997 to January 1998)
25 Jim Jarvis (December 1964 to March 1965)
24 Roberto Nelson (January 2013 to present)
24 Vince Fritz (December 1967 to December 1969)
ROBERTO LIGHTING IT UP: Roberto Nelson led the Pac-12 in scoring in conference games last year at 19.1 per night, and he has a chance to lead the league in scoring in all games this season as he is currently first at 24.7, which is third in the nation through Dec. 15 games. The last Oregon State player to lead the Pac-10/12 in scoring was Gary Payton in 1989-90 when he finished with 25.7 points per game. The school record is 26.7 by Mel Counts in 1963-64.
POSSIBILITY TO JOIN ELITE COMPANY: Roberto Nelson is on pace to score 766 points in a guaranteed 31 games. That would be close to Oregon State's single-season record of 775 that was set by Mel Counts in 1963-64. It would also move Nelson into fourth on Oregon State's career scoring list with 1,848 points, trailing only Gary Payton (2,172), Steve Johnson (2,035) and Mel Counts (1,973) and ahead of A.C. Green (1,694). Those four players were All-Americans and have their jerseys hanging in the rafters at Gill Coliseum.
ANGUS PLAYING WELL AT HOME: Coming back from last year's season-ending injury, Angus Brandt has played well at Gill Coliseum where he's averaging 14.2 points and 6.0 rebounds, while shooting 55.8 percent (24-of-43) from the field and 76.7 percent (23-of-30) from the free throw line. He has been tentative on the road, which is understandable since he suffered the injury away from Gill Coliseum, with averages of just 4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds, while shooting 33.3 percent (3-of-9) from the field and 50 percent (1-of-2) from the stripe.
MISSING ERIC: Eric Moreland has to sit out seven more games due to a violation of team rules, leaving Oregon State without one of the best rebounders and shot blockers in school history. All he did last year was: 1) break his own Oregon State single-season blocked shots record (73); 2) set the school record with 2.52 blocks per game; 3) become just the 10th OSU player all-time, and the first since Mel Counts in 1964, to average double-figure rebounds (10.6); 4) post 12 double-doubles despite missing three games. He finished second in the Pac-12 in rebounding, blocked shots and double-doubles and third in field goal percentage (.574), and earned Pac-12 All-Defensive Honorable Mention.
VICTOR FILLING IN NICELY: Victor Robbins was put in the starting lineup to replace Eric Moreland, and he has responded nicely and shown his versatility. After scoring 26 points in 21 games as a freshman, Robbins has already scored 451points this season and posted a career high in nearly every statistical category, including points (12), rebounds (5) and minutes (27). He has been efficient on the offensive end, shooting 51.5 percent (17-of-33) from the field while making at least half of his attempts in five of the six games.
MORELAND AND COLLIER'S OWN BLOCK PARTY: Eric Moreland (145) and Devon Collier (108) are second and fifth, respectively, on Oregon State's career blocks list, making them the best shot blocking tandem in school history. When Moreland returns from his suspension on Jan. 9 against Stanford, he will need to average only 1.6 blocks in a guaranteed 17 games to become the school's all-time leader. Collier is averaging 1.8 blocks per game this season and should finish his career third all-time at Oregon State.
Oregon State Career Blocked Shots List
1. Scott Haskin (1989-93) -- 172
2. Eric Moreland (2011-present) -- 145
3. Steve Johnson (1979-81) -- 114
4. Nick DeWitz (2005-06) -- 111
5. Devon Collier (2011-present) -- 108
Oregon State Single-Season Blocked Shots List
1. Eric Moreland (2012-13) -- 73
2. Eric Moreland (2011-12) -- 69
3. Scott Haskin (1991-92) -- 68
4. Nick DeWitz (2005-06) -- 59
5. Nick DeWitz (2004-05) -- 52
GOMIS CONTINUING TO IMPROVE: Daniel Gomis sat out his freshman season after breaking his left leg in his native Senegal. He also missed last season after getting surgery on that leg, but he finally made his college debut in the season opener against Coppin State. After failing to get a statistical number in the opener, he has responded with 12 points, 20 rebounds and five blocked shots in the last six games, while making 66.7 percent (6-of-9) of his shots from the field. He had four points in each of the two road games and pulled down a career-high five rebounds against both DePaul and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
HALLICE STEPPING UP: Hallice Cooke has been the most consistent player early this season among Oregon State's freshmen and he continues to get more comfortable each game. After playing only five minutes in the opener, Cooke has averaged 18.3 minutes in the six games since and is the team's fifth-leading scorer over that span with 5.8 points per game, while shooting 54.2 percent (13-of-24) from the field and 62.5 percent (5-of-8) from beyond the arc. He has also contributed 11 assists, 10 rebounds and nine steals over the past six games.
OLAF KNOCKS DOWN THREE FROM THREE: Olaf Schaftenaar found his groove against Maryland Eastern Shore by knocking down all three of his three-point attempts to tie a career high. It improved his season percentage from beyond the arc to 41.2 percent (7-of-17). When he shoots there's a good chance it will be a three-ball, as 17 of his 23 shots have been from beyond the arc, while last season 97 of his 114 shots were three-pointers.
MALCOLM SEEING MORE TIME: After playing just one minute at Maryland, freshman guard Malcolm Duvivier has played 48 minutes in the last four games. He scored his first career points at Oregon State against SIUE and added a career-high three assists at DePaul. He had his breakout game against Maryland Eastern Shore going 3-for-4 from the field, including his first career three-pointer, for seven points. The potential to score is there as he had 17 points in an exhibition win over Concordia.
CHEIKH ALSO GETTING COMFORTABLE: Freshman Cheikh N'diaye is just the 10th 7-footer in history to play for Oregon State. After not playing in the season opener, N'diaye scored his first points as a Beaver on a layup in the first half against Portland. He has played in all six games since the opener and has made all six of his field goal attempts, including both shots in four minutes of action at DePaul.
BEAVS SHOOTING IT WELL: Oregon State has shot 50 percent or better from the field in its last six games, including three consecutive games at 60 percent or better (64.0 percent vs. SIUE; 60.0 percent at DePaul; 60.0 vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff). It looked like the streak would be broken when the Beavers shot 36.7 percent (11-for-30) in the first half against Maryland Eastern Shore, but they erupted for 64 points on 63.2 percent (24-for-38) to finish the game at 51.5 percent.
WIN AT MARYLAND: Oregon State's 90-83 win over Maryland in College Park was big for several reasons. Not only was it the Beavers' first-ever win over an ACC team on the road, but it snapped a 30-game non-conference home win streak by the Terps. It also improved Oregon State to 4-0 with President Barack Obama in attendance with the other wins coming at George Washington (64-57 on Nov. 28, 2009), at Howard (84-74 on Nov. 27, 2010) and at Towson (66-46 on Nov. 26, 2011).
HITTING THE CENTURY MARK: Oregon State hit the century mark for the 32nd time in school history when it scored 101 points in the win over SIUE. The Beavers have scored 100-plus points six times in the past three seasons after not reaching that figure from 1998 to 2010. The most 100-point games over a three-year span for the Beavers are eight between 1978-79 to 1980-81. In Gary Payton's four years at Oregon State (1987-90) the Beavers scored 100-plus points four times.
COACH ROBINSON VICTORIES WATCH: With the win over Maryland, Craig Robinson moved past Jim Anderson (1990-95) as the fifth-winningest coach in Oregon State history and now has 82 victories in his sixth year with the Beavers. Robinson needs 10 more wins this season to pass Paul Valenti, who had 91 from 1965-70. Slats Gill holds the school record with 599 wins (1929-64), while Ralph Miller is second with 359 (1971-89) and Bog Hager is third with 115 (1923-28).
WITH FIVE MINUTES TO PLAY: The last four seasons have proven having the lead with five minutes to play is critical for Oregon State. Counting this season, the Beavers are 60-5 when leading (5-0 this year) and 4-67 (0-2 this year) when trailing with five minutes left on the clock.
BEAVERS SIGN THREE STUDENT-ATHLETES FOR 2014-15 SEASON: Chai Baker, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound guard from Malone, Fla., Isaiah Manderson, a 6-foot-10, 250-pound center from Oldsmare, Fla., and Gary Payton II, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound guard from Las Vegas, Nev., all signed National Letters of Intent to join the Oregon State men's basketball program for the 2014-15 season. Baker attends Malone High School and is a three-star recruit according to ESPN.com and Rivals.com. Manderson attends Oldsmare Christian High School and is a four-star recruit according to ESPN.com. Payton II, the son of Oregon State legend Gary Payton, attends Salt Lake Community College.
SCHEDULE NOTES: The Beavers will open the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic against Akron on Sunday, Dec. 22 in Honolulu; other teams in the field include Boise State, George Mason, Hawai'i, Iowa State, Saint Mary's and South Carolina ... With the 18-game conference schedule, Oregon State will "miss" home games against Colorado and Utah and road games at California and Stanford ... The Beavers open Pac-12 play at Colorado and Utah and finish league play at home against the Arizona schools ... The Pac-12 Tournament will be held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for the second straight year.

TC TO ELIZA STODART; 22 December 1832; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18321222-TC-EA-01; CL 6:282-283.
Templand, Thornhill, 22nd Decr 1832—
My Dear Miss Stoddart,
Jane wrote you a very long Letter; but I find on inquiry that two of the most important items are forgotten. My Brother told her long ago that Forgetfulness was stealing over her; that a general "breaking up of the faculties" had become visible.
The two things forgotten are: first that at Craigenputtoch we have only one post day in the week; the day that corresponds to your Tuesday afternoon: a Letter sent from you (I think, before 5 o'clock) reaches us next night in that way; if missed then, it must lie, in all human probability, for another week.1 Let this therefore be a word to the wise. The second thing I had to remind you of, "dearly beloved," as we of the Pulpit say,—is that you must in no wise forget to give us the precise address of the House in your next Letter; so that we may be able to write carrier directions, post-office directions, and so forth, without loss of time.
If anything else is forgotten, do you by natural sagacity, find it out and accomplish it! Could you want any wider commission?
We are here till Monday;2 Mrs Welsh appeared too weak today for leaving. She will not consent to accompany us to Edinr; but I think will join us there. What new arrangements are to be made at Templand does not yet altogether appear: there is time enough for considering.
Now let us find you at your post, well and giving welcome;—and so be a glad meeting appointed for us all!
With kind remembrances to "Uncle," whom we hope to see often, I remain, / Dear Eliza, / Yours very truly
Thomas Carlyle

4ZZZ Queer Radio program presenter Blair Martin received the Lifetime Achievement Award last night at Brisbane City Hall as the LGBTI community celebrated the 53rd annual Queen's Birthday Ball Awards.
The Great Gatsby-themed soiree, staged by the Brisbane Pride Festival, took place under the rainbow-lit dome of City Hall's main auditorium, and organisers say they were "thrilled" with the event.

"The Queen's Ball has come a long way since 1961, when it was held at Mount Tamborine, to the main auditorium at City Hall today," said Brisbane Pride Festival president Peter Black.
"However, what is most pleasing is that it remains a night that acknowledges and celebrates the extraordinary diversity and achievements of our community.
"The night was only possible thanks to the support of the community, the tireless work of the Brisbane Pride Festival board, and the financial support of the Brisbane City Council, and our sponsors."

TC TO LADY ASHBURTON ; 21 February 1852; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18520221-TC-LA-01; CL 27: 50
Chelsea, Saturday [21 February 1852]—
Dear Lady,—I have not a moment left, and not a word of good news (or indeed of bad) to tell you: nevertheless I cannot let the week end without an audible sign of recollection,—which, inaudible, I suppose you know continues thro' most weeks and days. If it were good for anything: but for what is it good? Alas, alas!—
I sit sulkily and silently over my Books (all of Frederic and his Donnybrook Fair, ah me!)—reading not to be commended for lucidity or geniality;—I know not what will come of it, but always rather guess, nothing. Never mind; hold on!— I transact an immense quantity of sulky reflexion too, every day, and try at lowest to "burn my own smoke" withal.—
On Monday, I think it was, I left a Card for the petit coquin [little rascal];1 whom I suppose you have seen since that. Poor little fellow, a kind of natural human pity siezes one to think of such a fatal turn of the game for him, after all. It is possible enough he may now be hors de combat, actually forever and a day. The French have had 35 years of stump-oratory; and surely that has done as little for them as even Louis Napn and the Despotism of the Bayonet can do. Unhappy sons of men!— — Yesterday I met poor little Lord John, too; pensively balancing his stick, and looking very mild and resigned,—or let us say, resigning.2 All ends one day or other.— — Enough, enough: instead of sphere-harmonies which you deserve, take these few notes of Bear's growlings,—forgive them, and think kindly of me if you can or will. The 28th is coming soon.3 Adieu O noble woman.
