Summer is winding down, and what a summer it has been! Wonderful thing about the world of social media, we get to see all the fun vacations our friends and loved ones took. I hope everyone got some sort of fun adventure in before fall begins. I am super excited to be going to Minnesota in a few days to visit friends and family.
When I vacation, it usually means someone is kind enough to put me up for a week or two. Yes, it would sometimes be nice to stay in a luxurious hotel, but we can't always afford that. Plus I often vacation specifically to see people I love, so staying with them is always a fun part of it! However, I know it can be challenging to host someone for week, so make sure you thank those who helped you have such a wonderful vacation.
Send your hosts or hostesses gourmet brownie gifts from Fairytale Brownies. We have made gifting very simple, just go online to brownies.com and order a brownie delivery! Your recipient will be delighted to receive gourmet brownies,...Read More

STUTTGART, Germany--It looks like a notebook, and its unibody aluminum chassis is surprisingly sleek in a MacBook kind of way. But Nokia's Booklet 3G, announced last week, also is something of a hybrid.
Its guts are standard Netbook with a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor, 10.1-inch 1,280x720 screen, 1GB RAM, and 120GB HDD. Beyond that, Nokia maxes out with a glut of features that include a Webcam, HDMI-out, three USB ports, SD card slot, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPRS/EDGE ready, Bluetooth, A-GPS support, and yes, even Windows 7. Let's hope performance and battery life aren't overly taxed, despite the claimed 12-hour uptime.
With all the frills onboard, the Booklet 3G is definitely not cheap, at 575 euros (about $817). Though with operator subsidies tied to a mobile plan and the Ovi Store integrated, the Booklet 3G may turn out to be quite competitive after all. We'll have to wait and see when this launches in the fourth quarter. In the meantime, watch the video we took at Nokia World for a close-up of the device.

Las Vegas is a 3 hour time change from home. We landed in Vegas at 2:55pm home time - which was 11:55 am Vegas time.
I bought a $tarbucks Chai Latte in the airport, it's a LONG wak inside the airport to the baggage claim. Our luggage was waiting for us. A shuttle bus ride was part of the deal I'd made, so we got a shuttle ride to our hotel. (I recommend using a shuttle service over a cab) We got on the shuttle at 12:30, and we were in our room by 1:15. We had 2 queen beds, the king bed rooms were not ready yet and we didn't want to wait for one. It was an older room...
This was the view from our room:
That's the Bellagio at the top, Bill's is at the bottom.
We relaxed for a little bit and then went out to explore the strip, but we got distracted by the pool
I sent the Farmer back up for our bathing suits and we spent the afternoon drinking at the pool.
He brought back a gold coloured bikini...I wore it.
I had 2 fruity slushy drinks (in souvenir plastic glasses - for $20 each!) Beer was $6.
You had to show your room key for access to the pool. (It was like that at every hotel we stopped at)
We left the pool about 5 and walked to a corner liquor store (behind Bill's) and bought some rum and some wine. We didn't have a fridge in our room, so we had to use the ice bucket...Someone later told us we should have said we needed a fridge for "medical reasons" and one would have been provided for us no charge.

Giving Days
Giving Days are an opportune strategy to engage residents, donors, and non-profits in your community. The Council created this resource page because of the value Giving Days can provide many community foundations. This resource will allow Council members to connect directly with each other and utilize many Giving Day resources. We encourage you to consider hosting a Giving Day after careful consideration to determine if this is the right path for your foundation and your community.
Why Now?
2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the first community foundation, The Cleveland Foundation, in Cleveland, Ohio. Since then over 700 community foundations have been created in the United States and countless more globally. The Council recognizes the critical and unique role of community foundations and it encourages members to consider utilizing a Giving Day strategy in their community as one of many methods to build awareness about the foundation and its efforts within the community.
This webpage provides resources about Giving Days and a map of all Council on Foundations community foundation members that have notified us that they are hosting a Giving Day. Please do not hesitate to contact a Council staff member at (703) 879-0645 or email@example.com [1] to inquire whether a Giving Day is an option for you and your community.
Map of Community Giving Days
Our Giving Day map displays all Council on Foundations community foundation members that are hosting a Giving Day during the year. Please contact us at email@example.com [1] if you are hosting a Giving Day. We will add you to the map so that you will be recognized as part of the national giving day effort.
Click on the pin to see information about each community foundation hosting a Giving Day event.
Take advantage of these resources that can help you determine if a giving day is the right strategy for you. The Council staff team is always happy to talk with you as well to help you determine if a Giving Day is the right strategy for you.
Knight Foundation Giving Day Playbook [3]
The Giving Day Playbook is a free resource provided through the Knight Foundation's effort to support all community foundations interested in planning a Giving Day. It includes best practices, examples, and templates from Giving Day organizers across the country in one easy-to-use guide.
Giving Day Campaigns & Service Providers
GIVE LOCAL AMERICA! is a national match day initiative designed to increase awareness of community foundations and coordinate community foundations to hold a giving day on one day to build more awareness about community foundations nationally. The initiative builds on the successful match day concept that many community foundations are already utilizing. This is a unique opportunity for the field to work together to elevate community philanthropy in the national media.
GiveMN is a collaborative venture to transform philanthropy in Minnesota by growing overall giving and moving more of it online. The idea is actually simple – GiveMN.org is a website that features Minnesota nonprofits and schools. GiveMN markets giving opportunities and donor tools to people who care about Minnesota. GiveMN helps individuals find, connect, and engage with the causes that they care about.
Kimbia [6]
Kimbia is an online fundraising platform that enables you to create fundraising campaigns that develop a deeper donor relationship by leveraging the unique strengths of mobile, social, and online fundraising.
Razoo Foundation [7]
Razoo manages online Giving Days that unite thousands of nonprofit organizations of all sizes — from local community efforts to nationwide events. They host 24-hour, online fundraising events that unite communities and causes through common goals and friendly competition.
Additional Resources
Many community foundations work with other giving day service providers not currently included on our resource page. If you work with another provider and would like to include them and would be willing to talk with your community foundation peers about your experience with a vendor please contact the Knowledge Center at firstname.lastname@example.com [1].

The next generation recording device just might debut this week at CES 2009 in Las Vegas. Samson (makers of the Zoom line of recorders), a leader in the manufacture of handheld recording devices is set to release their newest Zoom model at the trade show. Enter the Zoom H4n.
The Zoom H4n comes complete with built-in X/Y stereo condenser mics. These offer a range of recording patterns. The addition of a high-quality mic preamp boosts the overall audio quality of this little recording powerhouse. On top of the aforementioned, the Zoom H4n offers the ability to use internal and external mics at the same time for 4-channel recording.
Combine all the great audio features with a large LCD screen and intuitive interfaces and you have what some are referring to as possibly the next generation of recording devices. According to Zoom CEO, Masa Iijima, "We have learned a great deal from the success of the H2 and H4, and have continually sought to bring the most important improvements to our designs. Our new H4n confirms our commitment to this category while bringing users substantial improvements to their experience,"
Everyone from traveling musicians to documentarians and more will enjoy the buffed out H4n with its rubberized, shock resistant body and metal mics for durability. And furthermore, musicians ought to be delighted with the multi-track and Hi-Z capabilities of the Zoom H4n.
The H4n epitomizes what portable audio recording should encompass and it's packaged in a nice, neat little device with the power of a small studio.
Look for the Samson Zoom H4n at the CES 2009 electronics tradeshow in Las Vegas. And while you're there, check out the other great gadgets and technology being unveiled.

text: I have come to the conclusion that I and the rest of the general public are completely incapable of making decisions about our own health and welfare. We must, therefore must rely on the Berkeley County Board of Health and our elected officials to make these decisions for us. This must be an awesome responsibility for them to bear, and cause them terrible angst. However, because they are responsible for the health and survival of the entire community, it is imperative that they remain healthy so as to properly care for us. I therefore submit a few modest proposals.

It stands for You Only Live Once. The best thing about YOLOing throughout all of California is the fact that it lets you be open in your traveling plans, which is what is pretty much needed if you're purpose is landscape and wildlife photography. The middle of the day is for both adventuring as well as for driving. If your next stop is 8 hours away, you can rack up many, or all, of those miles during the harsh light of the day. Obviously, your golden hours near sunrise and sunset are for taking pictures. And then you can do more driving after sunset. Just make sure to have caffeine on hand.
I'm looking for some advice on California...I'm from the UK, and planning a road trip in California in September 2014.
Quote from: Cali_PH on March 31, 2014, 10:02:58 PMOf course, the other problem is getting hotels last minute, which will be difficult in some locations. Great point! I forgot to mention this in my post, and could be a big factor.When I travel throughout a state, seemingly at random, I either sleep in my truck, find a campground, or find a forest/area that allows dispersed camping. I'm out all day adventuring, including many times hours after sunset for astrophotography, and up a couple hours before sunrise, so I would have very little time in the hotel, and it makes for what I deem a waste of money.Granted, this is not for everyone, and I know some people who absolutely have to shower every day, or have to sleep in a bed every day.If not though, you can fit in quite the adventure during your time for pretty much only the cost of gas
Of course, the other problem is getting hotels last minute, which will be difficult in some locations.
@Tolusina, @SoullessPolack, @Cali_PH, thanks for your amazing advice (and to everyone else for your contributions)! We're going to book the flights this weekend (just under 3 weeks in CA), so then it gives us plenty of time to decide where we want to go and to plan a draft itinerary (without being too specific).
In my humble opinion, Highway 395 may well be the greatest "photography road trip" in the country; I try to do at least a portion of it every year... It runs almost the entire length of the state on the eastern slope of the Sierras. You can hardly drive 50-miles without going by some famous photographic opportunity... And the tourist-crowds are barely a fraction of what is typical on the west-side of the state.

text: The tailbone is located at the very end (bottom) of the vertebral column. Three to five bones comprise the tailbone, and it is held in place by joints and ligaments. As a side note, I find it interesting that there is no set number of bones – it doesn't seem to follow the typical rules of anatomy. However, the tailbone is believed to be a vestige of days when humans didn't walk upright, and perhaps had longer tails as they evolved from apes (well, most of us have evolved, at least). So it is possible that the tailbone is still evolving and some of us have more bones there than others. The final end bone is a small one that curves inward, with the two to four above it being more prominent. Most injuries to the tailbone are caused by a direct trauma, such as a fall while in a seated position, or a direct blow to the bone. Other causes include childbirth (highly unlikely in Nevis' case) and repetitive friction. Even yours truly has suffered a stress fracture to the tailbone after riding a bicycle too much (it was NOT cool to be the center of attention in high school for this reason!). Nevis' tailbone could have been damaged in a push to the ground in which his butt hit the field squarely. Another likely scenario would be a player's helmet crashing into his behind in a truly awkward and painful way. Prognosis: Today marks just over 4 weeks since his injury, and Nevis' prospects for returning to the field are good – he was already a participant in practice as of November 2 (albeit, in a limited capacity). There is a chance that Nevis could experience chronic pain or recurring issues with his tailbone, but hopefully he drinks lots of milk to keep his bones strong!

Eugene has introduced me to many exciting flavors to swirl around my mouth. A significant player in this flavor party was Genesis Juice, a local juice manufacturer that specializes in raw juices that aren't pasteurized. Their juice came in funky shaped glass bottles, and entertained us with fresh flavors: green spirulina smoothies, ginger lemonade, strawberry orange, carrot beet, and my all time favorite almond nut nectars in coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. Unfortunately the FDA cracked down on their raw production and demanded that they pasteurize all of their jucies using a heat flash procedure. Genesis buckled down and said "No" that the heat treatment goes against their concept of live raw juice, and the business has unfortunately withered under government pressure to discontinue.
A recent lurking at craftster.org's cooking forums yielded a post giving someone's favorite almond milk recipe. Semira's recipe calls for soaking the almonds and also includes soaked raisins for sweetness. I took her recipe and played with it searching for the long lost flavor of Genesis's Almond Nectar, adding dates, coffee and vanilla. The results are truly stunning and have given me many blissful moments the last two days of testing. The resulting milky nectar is sweet and heavily perfumed with a vanilla-like caramel flavor from the added medjool dates. Keep this chilled for a warm tired day and you will be rewarded!
Coffee Almond Nectar, ala Genesis
Cover with hot water, and soak overnight:
- 1 cup of raw organic almonds
- 5 medjool dates, pitted
Pour dates, almonds, and soaking water into a blender and add more water to bring the liquid level 3/4 of the way up the blender. Blend well grinding the almonds as finely as possible to extract their flavor.
- one pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1 tsp of coffee extract
Continue blending, tasting the mixture for sweetness levels. Honey can be added to sweeten the nectar.
Stain the mixture through a medium sized sieve, pressing the liquid out of the nut pulp.
The nut pulp can be returned to the blender and ground again with more soaked dates for a second extraction. The resulting product is good, though not quite as flavored as the first extraction.
Strain the liquid through a clean damp cloth for a finer product, squeezing as much of the liquid out as possible. Refrigerate and enjoy!
I've had success putting the nut pulp through a second extraction, and also using the nut pulp as an additive in baked goods. Add to scones or muffins, and adjust the flour to compensate for the wetness of the pulp.

this sounds so very, very, very good. now where am i going to find raw organic almonds at 2am….

: expansion. I was able to have multiple files open using FILE OPEN and
: it did not proceed to octuple memory usage, for example.
The FILE OPEN code is in ckuus7.c within #ifdef CKCHANNELIO..#endif,
about 1640 lines that I wrote six years ago. There's a spot where we
malloc z_maxchan times sizeof(struct ckz_file), which includes a filename
buffer of about 1K. This happens once, the first time FILE OPEN is used.
Probably this storage is never deallocated, since a new file might be
opened at any time. When I wrote the code, the maximum number of open files
per process (as reported by sysconf) was usually a small number, less than
100. Now I see that in current Linuxes, it's more like 1000. So that would
account for about a megabyte.
: I'm using Kermit compiled for ARM with "make linuxnc KFLAGS=-DNOBIGBUF"
: (I'm trying to save memory!) and running on a 32M embedded board
: running the Linux 2.4.26-ts9 kernel.
: How can this be happening if FILE OPEN is simply a front-end for the
: fopen() system call?
It does its own bookkeeping, has its own mini-FILE struct for each channel.
: I could see memory on the order of kilobytes
: being allocated, but we're talking several megabytes of memory being
: consumed here, just from opening a text file.
In Linux (in this case Red Hat AS 4 on AMD-64), if I start Kermit, log debug,
do an FOPEN, exit, and then "grep z_maxchan debug.log" I see:
z_open z_maxchan 1=-2
z_open z_maxchan 2=1006
z_open z_maxchan 3=1006
1006 is the number of mini-FILE structs that are allocated. I can see that
this could be done with a big more finesse. It wasn't an issue before. I'll
see what I can do in the next 8.0.212 development upload:

Happy-go-lucky at the Fotografica Fair Meet-up with Lomography the Netherlands2012-12-13 1 Share Tweet
Finally on November 18th, the moment was there: the Fotografica fair in Nieuwegein. Reason enough for a Lomo meet-up with some Dutch lomographers, to go lusting over 6000m2 of analogue cameras. Looking for el cheapo camera deals and beautiful (camera)stories.
Sunday morning November 18th, half past 10. Joers, pretletterp, mrmaart, roolpaap and marije gather at Utrecht central station, to catch the bus to Homebox in Nieuwegein. In another bus but with the same destination was saskiaboer. While queuing the one and only kamiraze joined us. We brought a little surprise with us for him – the new Belair x 6-12 to play with!
He was very much impressed by the camera, as a seasoned Lomographer he started to examine the camera. More and more people started to notice the Belair camera and were very interested. One of the bystanders wanted to how the 'bellow' opens. Without thinking Niels said: "Call its name and it will open!" Right at that moment the bellow opened. You should've seen the look on the guy's face…
After waiting in line for a small while and paying 4 euros entry fee, we were all inside the Homebox – row after row after row of tables filled with cameras. Every brand and any decade was represented: thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, all the way up to the nineties. Not to mention all the flashes, filters, films, objectives and cases. We were amazed and didn't know where to look or start.
We only just hung our coats and mrmaart and joers found a hidden treasure. Underneath a table was a box containing nothing less than 80 rolls of expired chrome slide film. For no more than 20 euros. That's 40 rolls of chrome each, what a catch!
Here's where the real treasure hunt began. Some of us were focused on getting one specific camera, some were just browsing to see what's there to get. Lot's of great stories around too. A man from Middelburg sold his complete collection of 1600 (!!!) Leica cameras because his house was flooded with cameras. We continued browsing, comparing and testing of cameras.
Petra got herself this beautiful Cosina CX in original casing with an automatic advance-motorizer-piece and matching flash. This is how much she likes her new camera:
Joeri got himself a SpaceShipEnterprise 110 SLR for a tenner.
Over 2 hours later we got together at the lunch area to have something to eat. The bread with sausage were great, but the coffee was disgusting. It was as if it had been boiling for 30 years in analogue style somewhere in your grandmother's kitchen. And that for 2,50 euros. Besides this little disappointment, were were all more than happy with our catch.
…and in the train back home we immediately started testing our new gear.
You too like to be amazed by this amazing collection of analogue stuff? Or looking for the best camera deals or that one battery for the Rollei 35S that isn't made since the '77? Or do you just feel the desire to browse trough hundreds or cameras? Come along next time! The next fair will be on Sunday March 10th 2013. More info on this website. We will be there again, will you come with?

Manti Te'o Could Solve Bears' LB Issues
The Bears have all sorts of needs and not enough picks. With just five selections (and no third-rounder), general manager Phil Emery isn't going to get everything done. Not to worry, though, as the Bears did exactly what they needed to do in free agency, getting a left tackle (Jermon Bushrod) and a tight end (Martellus Bennett), while franchising the guy they had to keep (Henry Melton).
Most Bears fans probably don't want Manti Te'o, considering the bad press he's received from the catfishing saga and his lackluster performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, but from a pure football standpoint, it's obvious the Notre Dame standout can make plays in the middle. Don't you wish everyone paid more attention to that than they did to his dating habits or to how fast he can run a sprint he'll hardly ever replicate in an NFL stadium? Given the Brian Urlacher situation, the Bears' need for someone in the middle is obvious, unless you're in love -- in like -- with D.J. Williams. This club really is counting on both Williams and former Carolina Panther James Anderson to bring it in the 4-3. Good luck.

A COMPETITION Tribunal moratorium that prevented insurer MMI from retrenching employees after its merger in 2010 lapses on Thursday next week, paving the way for the company to retrench further to minimise duplication and cut costs.
However, MMI CEO Nicolaas Kruger said on Friday that the group had achieved recurring cost savings of R201m since the merger, and that it was on track to meet its target of R500m a year in savings over three years.
In 2010, Momentum and Metropolitan merged to form South Africa's third-largest insurer, a financial services company catering for the lower-middle-income and upper-income markets in SA and the rest of Africa.
The tribunal approved the merger, but prohibited merger-related retrenchments for two years. The moratorium, however, excluded senior employees.
It also excluded voluntary retrenchments and early retirement packages, provided these were not coercive.
Mr Kruger said that through natural attrition, 1,269 employees had left the group over the past two years.
Momentum and Metropolitan had told the tribunal that the merger would affect 1,000 to 1,500 jobs.
When asked about the implications of the moratorium coming to an end, Mr Kruger said MMI would apply "a centralised process to manage future staff role duplication and redundancy".
"In order to manage the moratorium, MMI implemented a centralised redeployment centre with the main purpose of finding alternative roles within the group for staff affected by the merger," Mr Kruger said.
He said the redeployment centre was successful in redeploying staff where there was a duplication of roles.
Mr Kruger said that when the centre was established in September last year, 338 employees were registered with it. He said that 51% were redeployed to other positions in the group, while 43% took voluntary separation packages.
"We have learnt a great deal from having a centralised redeployment process during the moratorium period, and with fairness and consideration we will continue to apply the same principles to our future restructuring processes."
"Unfortunately, rationalisation and restructuring are inevitable in the normal course of any sustainable business. However, we will make every effort to minimise job losses. We will continue to apply the best practices gained from the redeployment centre as long as is necessary for the benefit of our employees who may be affected by future business restructuring," he said.
The company could not say exactly how many jobs were at risk now that the moratorium had come to an end.
If natural attrition has addressed duplication then the tribunal's moratorium would have gone a long way in protecting job losses resulting from the merger. However, were MMI to cut 1,000 jobs by exploiting the end of the moratorium, it would raise the question of whether the tribunal's decision had merely "kicked the can down the road".

Heroes' journey: Hallett Mayo, 90, finally shares his battle memories

I can't believe that a mountain has been made out of such a molehill.
I don't really see what the point is in this. The only thing it's doing is drawing attention yet again to a clash of egos. From the looks of it the only people who knew anything about this was people at TEFL watch and BP.
I think you need to get out more BP. Get a hobby or something and stop wasting your time worrying about this, It's not going to bring down Ajarn.com, I'm sure LDMA can handle things over here.

To be perfectly honest I cannot see the point of making this thread either Phil.
Our position is clear on naming schools, and I would again add that this policy is in common with the vast majority of teacher forums. If the users of TEFL Watch have a problem with it and post there as such, then it is up to the management to decide on whether they take action on such comments. As has been shown to be the case on this occaision, our sites olive branch seems to be holding up and the management of TEFL Watch have apparently put a hold on an Ajarn slagging.
I will do the same here for TEFL Watch by locking this thread. I agree...mountain out of molehill.

Sorry Louis, I've opened the thread to make a final comment.
It seems that I did make a mountain out of a molehill with this thread and for that I apologise. Sometimes you say things in the heat of the moment and after a good night's sleep (well, a night's sleep anyway) and a Manchester United win, it all seems a bit trivial come the morning. Oh well, I'll put me hands up and admit this is one I probably got wrong. My apologies to all.
Perhaps Squirrel's right - I should get out more.

With Heather Graham starring as "Aunt Opal" and the adorable Jordana Beatty as the film's leading little lady, the feature film "Judy Moody & the Not Bummer Summer", chronicles the crazy summer adventures this energetic third grader has with her artsy Aunt Opal. Starpulse caught up with the movie's hair department head and celebrity hairstylist, RaMona Fleetwood to share her on set secrets for how to re-create Heather's silver screen curls.
Heather Graham as "Aunt Opal"
1. RaMona began with clean dry hair and then sectioned Heather's tresses into half inch parts.
2. Next, she sprayed each piece with White Sands Liquid Texture Firm Hold Styling Spray to provide amazing shine, softness, and humidity resistance, while also creating long lasting curls.
3. This product was then brushed through her hair in order to prep for a spiral wrap curling technique.
4. RaMona then took each 1/2" piece and spiral wrapped her strands around a 1.25" curling iron in opposite directions: one section curled forward while the other curled backward.
5. To finish Heather's gorgeous waves for the camera, RaMona set this style in place by using White Sands Infinity Hairspray for enhanced hold and shine.

Inner Mongolia sets human domino world record
- By David KennerDavid Kenner is the Middle East editor for Foreign Policy.
- david.kenner
- @davidkenner
In an event seemingly designed specifically to guarantee a write-up on Passport, 10,276 people in China's city of Ordos, in Inner Mongolia, formed the world's largest human domino chain yesterday, besting the previous record of 9,234 Singaporeans desperate for a Passport mention.
The event just gets better: Chinese basketball icon and former NBA center Mengke Bateer, who ESPN informs me averaged 3.4 points per game over his career, kicked off the chain by passing a basketball to the first "domino."
The volunteers, mostly high school students, spelled out "Beautiful Ordos." If they spell out "Passport" next time, I think I can get them on the front page.

Something is up with the Los Angeles Clippers.
It's their stock.
Almost quietly, the Clippers have remained not only relevant, but also near the top of the NBA's ultra-competitive Western Conference, no small feat considering all they've been through.
From injuries to free-agency additions on a whim, the Clippers have been forced to adjust and persevere, rarely approaching full strength in a conference known for seeking out and dismantling teams with glaring weaknesses. Having just navigated 18 straight games without star point guard Chris Paul, the Clippers could have been one of those teams.
But they weren't.
Tough times haven't derailed their championship hopes or left them irrelevant. More than halfway into the season, the Clippers are right where they need to be—in the thick of it all.
Chris Paul Is Back
One game. That's all it was. After missing 18 games while tending to a separated right shoulder, Paul has appeared in just one game.
We all know better then to wax optimism after one game, right? One game against the tanking Philadelphia 76ers, no less. That win doesn't mean much.
Except it does.
The Clippers destroyed the Sixers, winning 123-78. Their 45-point romp was the largest in franchise history. If the NBA had a mercy rule, it would have been enacted. The Sixers would have bolted Staples Center early. Like, after the first quarter. It was television-drama-about-a-protoganoistic-serial-killer bad for the Sixers.
This isn't a "so much blood" game. This is dexter. The Clippers drained and froze the body.— Hardwood Paroxysm (@HPbasketball) February 10, 2014
For the Clippers, it was J.J. Redick look-alike, we-have-Sasha-Vujacic-and-we're-not-afraid-to-use-him good.
Sasha Vujacic is the Clippers' Human Victory Cigar. Crowd goes nuts every time he touches it— Amin Elhassan (@AminESPN) February 10, 2014
But yeah, it was just the Sixers. The 15-37 Sixers, who are more interested in this summer's draft than seeing the Clippers nearly triple their own score midway through the third quarter. This doesn't matter.
Neither does Paul's performance. He played under 23 minutes, registering a modest seven points and eight assists. Who cares?
We all should.
"It felt great to play," Paul said afterward, via the Orange County Register's Dan Woike. "You never know what it's going to be like until you get out there, compete and play. It just felt good to get out there and compete."
As good as it felt, the Clippers and Paul looked even better.
At times, Paul was sloppy (four turnovers) and a step or two slow. For the most part, though, the quickness was there and he was rarely playing catch-up. Oh, and those modest seven points and eight assists, to go along with four steals, came in 23 minutes. And in those 23 minutes, the Clippers outscored Philly by 42 points.
It wasn't a perfect outing by Paul, but it was enough—enough to remind us the return of the league's best point guard is a beautiful thing.
Adding Awesome to Awesomeness
There is no replacing Paul and the Clippers wouldn't dare try, but there is the ability to survive without him.
In 18 games without Paul, the Clippers went 12-6 with superstar Blake Griffin leading the way. Only five of those wins came against teams .500 or better—and the Clippers were 5-5 against .500 or better teams overall—but winning is winning.
Paul's absence could have been a time for the Clippers to drop in the standings, for them to fall out of the Western Conference's top-four conversation. But they didn't. The Clippers were right there before, and they're right there again now.
Griffin's transformation is responsible for a bulk of their continued success. Without Paul, he averaged 27.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists on 55.4 percent shooting per game, according to NBA.com (subscription required). He was and remains big time.
|Off. Rtg.
|Pre-Paul Injury
|In Paul's Absence
|Last 4 Games
Via NBA.com.
In remaining big time, Bleacher Report's Adam Fromal says Griffin has vaulted himself into the MVP conversation:
Griffin's output is simply staggering, and he's consistently proving that he can handle being the focal point of an elite offense. This power forward has shrugged off all the criticism and been consistently dominant while keeping his Clippers near the top of the brutally difficult West.
Does he deserve to move past LeBron and Durant in the MVP conversation? Nope, not yet.
But he's at least starting to insert himself firmly into that conversation.
Merely being a part of that discussion attests to how ridiculous he's playing, carrying the Clippers in Paul's absence. And he's not the only one guilty of playing spectacular basketball.
DeAndre Jordan has quietly put together a career year, proving himself to be a vital part of Los Angeles' two-way attack.
DeAndre Jordan: 10 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.4 blocks. All career-highs. Legit difference-maker under Rivers. Deserves more love. #Clippers— Ethan Norof (@Mr_Norof) February 10, 2014
In the 18 games without Paul, he was somehow even better:
|Off. Rtg.
|Pre-Paul Injury
|In Paul's Absence
Via NBA.com.
There is no overestimating the importance of Jordan's and Griffin's success. Their production and effectiveness is so often tied to Paul's ability to create for his teammates. Here they both are, though, thriving with and without Paul, keeping the Clippers afloat in potentially dark hours.
Toss in the continued offensive dominance of Jamal Crawford, the understated well-roundedness of Darren Collison and a gaggle of glue guys and specialists, and Paul has returned to an already-sturdy playoff team.
Inserting him only makes things better because, remember, awesome times awesome amounts to awesome squared every single time.
Balancing Act
Put everything together and what do you have? A legitimate Western Conference powerhouse and NBA contender.
This season hasn't been especially kind to Los Angeles by any means. Redick and Paul have battled injuries, and numerous free-agency acquisitions have been made on the fly, hoping to infuse instant depth into a supporting cast that ranks 17th in scoring.
Not everything has worked. The Clippers aren't perfect. They still struggle to space the floor with adequate three-point shooting, and their 14-12 record against teams above .500 is rather pedestrian.
But this Clippers team remains a force, having grown even stronger in wake of constant adversity.
"It's forced our staff to do things differently," Clippers coach Doc Rivers told NBA.com's Scott Howard-Cooper earlier this month. "I think it's all good. To me, this is a new group. I think just throwing us in there and trying to figure stuff out on the fly, trusting each other, it's been a very good thing for us."
Most of the season has been spent at partial strength. Be it Paul or Redick or Matt Barnes, the Clippers haven't been healthy. It would have been almost too easy for them to stumble and fall, and fail.
They haven't.
Injuries and obstacles that have threatened their livelihood have only made them stronger. More dangerous. More balanced.
The Clippers are one of only four teams that rank in the top 10 of both offensive defensive efficiency. That's the type of balance capable of winning championships. And it's one many thought the Clippers would struggle to obtain.
"We ran into a buzzsaw," Sixers coach Brett Brown said, via Woike.
Are the Clippers a legitimate championship contender?
What Philly ran into was the Clippers, a team with championship aspirations and the resolve and wherewithal to back it up no matter what.
Wins, however slaughterous, over squads like the Sixers may not seem like much, but great teams, contending teams make it their business to take care of business.
All year, even in Paul's absence, the Clippers have taken care of business, braving often less-than-ideal conditions only to come out looking better off than before, the way serious contenders always do.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Water, the essence of life, figures prominently into the history of Berkeley Springs.
The town, touted as "The Country's First Spa," will host the 22nd annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting, which opens today at The Country Inn, with tastings open to the public. Events continue through Saturday.
Topics at the public seminar include water's history in health practices, conservation and preservation and finding water resources. Over 100 water bottlers and municipalities have entered in categories, including Municipal, Purified Drinking Water, Bottled Non-Carbonated (or water in its natural state) and more.
Among the entrants are former gold medal winners from Los Angeles, Desert Hot Springs and Daytona Beach, as well as a long list of Ohio water systems that have had past success. International waters entered include Bosnia, Japan, Belgium, Canada, China and a first-ever entry from Bulgaria.
The impact of winning this event is both economic and bragging rights. After winning the 2008 gold medal for best tasting non-carbonated water, Tumai of Martinsburg's sales grew overnight, said Jill Klein Rone, event producer.
"Over the life of the water tasting, we've had entrants from 46 states and 43 countries representing every continent but Africa," Rone said.
Rhode Island, Oklahoma, North Dakota and South Dakota have never sent entries. Rone said she and founding event member Jeanne Mozier would like to have entries from all 50 states in 2013.
And water from Berkeley Springs, of course, is entered.
"With all the different companies bottling water from the springs, Berkeley Springs is entered multiple times, and that doesn't include the town of Bath in the municipals," Mozier said.
A panel of media judges, including freelancer journalists and representatives from various news outlets, determines the official winners. They're trained to rate the waters on taste, smell and clarity by founding watermaster and internationally recognized water expert, Arthur von Wiesenberger.
But there is a role for the public. All day Saturday, they taste water along with the judges. Tasting of municipal waters, followed by purified drinking water, begins at 2:30 p.m. Bottled waters are tasted at 6:30 p.m. Winners in all categories are announced at a public awards reception at 8 p.m.
The public also gets to vote for the People's Choice award for best packaging.
"How the product looks has become ever more important as the bottled water industry continues to grow," Mozier said. "There are now more than 600 brands of bottled water."
This festival is the longest running and largest water tasting event in the world, Rone said, referring to it as the Academy Awards of Water. Winners will receive a fused-glass slump bowl made by Amingo Glass of Hedgesville. The bowls are called "Arthurs" after von Wiesenberger.
Two new awards are being presented Saturday evening to celebrate the event's 22nd year: a Lifetime Achievement Award to James M. Stevens and the Watermaster's Golden Award of Excellence to Kunlun Mountains Mineral Water.
"The Lifetime Achievement award speaks for itself," von Wiesenberger said in a released statement. "The Golden Award is given to bottled water companies that demonstrate an uncompromising, passionate devotion to the quality of their bottled water products especially in the area of purity."
Rone said Stevens was credited with launching the bottled water industry in the U.S. by introducing Perrier in the 1970s. Stevens will also speak at the seminar.
Mozier believes the most exciting aspect is the "water rush," in which the public scrambles to take home some of the bottles of water that have been used for display.
"It takes about nine hours to set up the display and less than 10 minutes for it all to disappear," Mozier said.
The event is produced by Travel Berkeley Springs with funding support from the West Virginia Legislature. It is open to the public, but free tickets are necessary and can be picked up at Travel Berkeley Springs. Without a ticket, there is a modest admission fee.

Yummy!! I loved this, and everyone in my family gobbled it down! The apple mixture was easy to put together, and it was nice to throw it on the grill and not have to worry about stirring or sticking!! We did leave out the pecans as our kids don't do well with nuts yet. I had to watch the poundcake closely on the grill, but it was so yummy to get that slightly toasted, slightly smokey texture & flavor! Very easy to make, fun to make on the grill, and so tasty when all piled together with the ice cream! Thanks!!

Here are my thoughts on this week's playoff games:
*The best games - North Canton Hoover at Massillon in Division I and Ravenna at Lake Catholic in Division II.
The Vikings have a chance because in its two losses, the Tigers defense gave up far too many big plays. Hoover is tested and look for it to use the passing game at time to surprise the home town Tigers.
Ravenna needs to get Pernell Taylor loose in the secondary to set up the star back in the running game.
*Rematches - Padua plays at Archbishop Hoban in a battle of two teams that struggle to score in big games. Knights won the last meeting, 10-6, and I expect the same. Ditto that for Brunswick at Twinsburg, which the Tigers win in Week 5 at Brunswick. Tigers are more experienced and the Blue Devils aren't what they have been in recent years.
*Upset special - No. 8 Canton McKinley will upset top seed No. 1 Toledo Whitmer in Division I, Region 2.
*Who will show up? - The Fighting Irish of St. Vincent-St. Mary can look one minute like world beaters, the next like the Cleveland Browns - nah, check that - Ohio State in big bowl games the past few seasons. Running back Mark Murphy needs a big game.
*Best wishes- We wish the Wiita family well and hopefully his Highland teammates will bring him back a playoff victory at Warren Howland. Also think it would be great for neighboring Woodridge and Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy to win on the road, especially a Bulldog team that has reached the playoffs for the first time.

However, I was referring to the winter olympics ceremony only. I think summer olimpics ceremonies can't be compare with those of winter, two different things completely.
I might be wrong because I know nothing about these things, but I think that for summer ceremonies you have more options in terms of choreography, scenography etc.? I don't know, just my thoughts.

Review: Charming The Prince by Teresa Medeiros
Lord Bannor the Bold is feared everywhere, stories have been told of his ruthless battles where death has been left in his wake, except for one place; home. With a dozen children underfoot and unruly as ever, Bannor decides he needs a bride who can nurture the children and most importantly get them to behave. Sending his faithful steward to find a bride who can offer that as well as one stipulation, make sure she is unattractive so he won't be reduced to wanting to warm her bed.
Imagine Bannor's surprise when the feisty tempered raven haired beauty named Willow steps out of the carriage. Bannor's initial response is to get the children to make her so miserable she will leave and his conscience will be clear, but Bannor has finally met his match as his castle becomes under siege and demands for his surrender are close at hand. Will Bannor get caught playing into his own hand as Willow becomes a treasure he can't refuse?
I laughed out loud so much in this book, I couldn't put it down.  A simply wonderful read. Willow is headstrong and completely throws Bannor for a loop. I thought this was a deliciously fun read and would pick it up and read it again in a heartbeat.

I wondered if you could use quilting cottons for skirts, and there it is! I haven't taken this class, but does she mention how to sew in a lining? Did you? I love those batik fabrics, but feel they'd wrinkle so much.
