Well, my original ps3 is now officially a 320 GB lucious machine. My brother graciously did the surgery, upgrading and reinstalling the previous hard drive. No game saves were lost in this operation! Now I may continue to game. I have a backlog. But the answer is here summer, summer hours and alot more time. Infamous, Fuel, Damnation, Fallout...They await me. I am in the middle of Wheel man and Tomb raider [told you I was backogged].
Other than that I am glad to not be teaching for the summer and get back to my normal athletic director duties this summer. Preparing for the fall sports! Our new turf fields are nearly done. Maybe I will have a slumber party on them when they are completed. I had to have a new apprecitation for the old testament since that is what I taught to our 8th graders. And really I think it just gave me more awe for the new testament fulfillments. So many things were prophesied and every little thing came to be. Despite how many times God's people seemed to make the same mistakes over and over. God makes promises and He keeps them.
Jeremiah 31:40
31 "The time is coming," declares the LORD,
"when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and
with the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, " declares the LORD.
33 "This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

A woman came to police headquarters to ask police to serve a no trespass notice on a man who used to be her roommate. She explained that they worked together and they lived together. But when he wanted to take the friendship to a different level, she said no and asked him to move out, the report said. He moved out and took a leave of absence from work, but according to the report, when he came back, he learned they had been assigned to different areas of their place of employment and should not have contact with each other.
In addition, the woman moved to a different apartment within the complex in hopes the suspect would not know where she went.
But the man rented an apartment in the complex and it happens to be near her designated parking spot, so now he knows where she lives. One day, he saw her come home and she ran in her unit and locked the door, but he allegedly chased her and banged on the door, demanding to be let in.
In addition, she was at the pool one day when he texted her and asked what she was doing, the report said. She didnt answer, but closed her eyes for a quick nap, and when she woke up, he was allegedly sitting in the lounge chair beside her, staring at her.
The officer wrote the notice, which was only good for her apartment and not the common areas of the complex.
She was told to call police should he show up at her house again.

Fresh Notes Reign 2013
By Parvathy Nambidi | Express Features - KOCHI
Published: 31st December 2013 04:23 PM
Last Updated: 31st December 2013 04:23 PM
The year that went by saw a slew of mellifluous and breakthrough Mollywood songs that were noted for their freshness in composition and rendering. Along with some new entrants in music, seasoned composers and singers too reigned their domains by creating a few lasting tunes.
The year opened with Rajeev Ravi's debut movie 'Annayum Rasoolum' that produced some out-of-the-box tracks composed by K (Krishna Kumar). The film featured remix versions of two songs by Mehboob, 'Kandu Randu Kannu' and 'Kaayalinarike' that created much impact among listeners. The other songs were 'Kando Kando', 'Vazhivakkil', 'Yaaname' and 'Zammiluni', which too had a lyrical quality that matched the tone of the movie.
Songs of other films released in the beginning of the year, including 'Lisammayude Veedu', 'Ente', 'Nee Ko Njaa Cha' and 'Maad Dad', went largely unnoticed, while some fast numbers in movies like 'Kammath & Kammath' and 'Romans' stayed on the airwaves briefly.
'Celluloid' released in February and created a sensation with its brilliant story-telling. The music of this Kamal flick was also much appreciated and brought in the best director award for M Jayachandran and the best female singer award for Sithara (for the song 'Enundodi'). However the real showstealers of the film's music was the magic of yesteryear Malayalam songs recreated spectacularly by G Sreeram and Vaikom Vijayalakshmi, who rendered to perfection the evergreen song, 'Katte Katte'.
The real surprise of the year came in the form of the divine comedy 'Amen' which released in March. The fairy tale story of Solomon and Sosanna was narrated with a judicious mix of melodies. Out of the seven songs composed by Prashant Pillai, each one stands apart for its musical charm. 'Solomanum Sosannayum', 'Aathmavil', 'Pampara Pa Pa', 'Vattoli' rendered by singers like Preeti Pillai, Kavita Mohan, Shwetha M and Lucky Ali still linger in the minds of the audience. The latter half of the year saw some melodic songs like 'Vaathil Charumo' by Shreya Ghoshal and Veetraag (August Club) and Etho Sayahna' by Sachin Warrier (10.30 a.m. Local Call).
'5 Sundarikal', an anthology of five stories had five composers as well. The theme song 'Ekantham' composed by Gopi Sundar and 'Manthara Katte' by Yakzan Gary Pereira were well appreciated. The four songs of 'Left Right Left', especially the anthem 'Kaal Kuzhanju' (composer-Gopi Sundar) also got noticed for its rythmic music.
Some other songs like 'Thirayum Theeravum' from Jeethu Joseph's Memories, 'Thazhvaram' from 'Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi', 'Pistah Suma Kira' from Neram', 'Otta Thumbi' from 'Pullipulikalum Aattinkuttiyum' 'Manikyachirakulla' from Idukki Gold, 'Veyil Chilla' from Zachariyayude Garbhinikal, 'Mezhuthiriyude' from 'Vishudhan' were chartbusters on television channels and radio stations for several weeks.
M Jayachandran's 'Lalee, lalee' from 'Kalimannu' sung by Mridula Warrier was a poignant experience for the listeners. Jayachandran and Gopi Sundar topped the list of composers who produced maximum hit songs in the year, while Ouseppachan, Vidyasagar and Biji Pal were also not far behind.
The year also saw many actors like Dulquer Salmaan, Dileep, Remya Nambeeshan, Meera Nandan, Murali Gopi and Jayasurya humming to the tunes of the music directors, some rather successfully.

Taylor 'Tex' Walker - lovable larrikin with a silver lining
- From: The Advertiser
- September 21, 2012
CROWS star Taylor Walker knew he would one day be where he is today ... standing on the brink of greatness as the spearhead in his side's AFL premiership quest.
The boy from Broken Hill, who has earned cult status with his trademark mullet hairstyle and bustling on-field talent, was certain he would achieve his dream of playing football at the highest level. He wasn't shy in telling people either.
No one ever had to ask Taylor "Tex" Walker what he thought, according to the people who know him best.
His family, teachers and hometown supporters have revealed what made the man who is today the key in Adelaide's AFL preliminary final against Hawthorn at the MCG.
He was a schoolboy sports star, a constant practical joker and a lovable larrikin who was bursting with self-confidence. And the trademark mullet is not a new thing for the "unique individual" who has sported the business-at-the-front, party-at-the-back look, for much of his life. Walker's hairdresser mum, Marg, would not comment on her son's haircut.
Dad Wayne doesn't care so long as his lad is enjoying his footy and playing well. And the people of Broken Hill are divided on Tex's trademark.
Willyama High School canteen manager and Crows fanatic Chris Boatswain was the butt of many of Walker's jokes but is now one of his biggest fans. She reckons the mullet gives Broken Hill a bad name.
"I don't like the mullet ... that doesn't suit him at all," the woman Walker dubbed "Betty Boatswain" laughed. "He needs to sort something out about his haircut ... that's giving a bad name to Broken Hill.
"I can't say what I thought of him as a student. He was a very likely lad.
"He always wanted everything right now. Of course we're proud of him ... we're proud of all of our students, be they a footy star or the poor little bugger shovelling s... for a living."
His high-school physical education teacher Rachel Devoy also fell victim to plenty of Walker's practical jokes.
Once he scrawled the words "I love Taylor Walker" on her pencil case during a class.
"You keep that Miss, it will be worth something one day," he told her.
Ms Devoy did keep that pencil case and has it hidden away.
"He always wanted to get to the Crows team and he never had one thought that he wouldn't make it," Ms Devoy said.
Wayne Walker, a Broken Hill football legend who won four association best and fairest medals and played in nine premierships with North Broken Hill, said that Taylor had always been a bit different.
"He's a 22-year-old kid enjoying himself," he said. "The mullet ... it's just him being an individual. He was a bit of a rascal in school and it has always been about footy for Taylor.
"From the age of four he was in the footy changerooms all the time and he has worked very hard at it when he has been given his chances."
Older brother Ayrton was a talented footballer, his sister Aisha is an outstanding athlete and successful footballer in women's competitions, while his mum was a gymnast. Walker's family makes the long trip to Adelaide from Broken Hill regularly to watch him play and they enjoy the times he can return home for visits.
"He's just a country boy," Wayne said. "You can't take that out of him. He loves getting back here on the Sunset Strip where he goes jet skiing, fishing and yabbying."
Local photographer and North Broken Hill Bulldogs supporter Gavin Schmidt said Walker never missed going to the local footy and dreamed of a football career from the age of six.
It was during those early years at Broken Hill North Primary School when young Taylor was banned from playing footy on the back flat because he was too rough.
Sonja McEvoy, the school's assistant principal, said Walker was a good kid but also a bit of a ratbag. "The mullet fits him well," she said.
"I think he would look better without it but it is his trademark."
Walker recently returned to the school to the delight of the students and he has plenty of people in Broken Hill who sing his praises.
"He always looked out for the special needs children that came through the school," Mrs McEvoy said.
"He wouldn't stand for people picking on those kids ... they were off-limits in Taylor's eyes and I know at least once he sorted someone out for picking on them."
Willyama High principal Tony Hicks said Walker had grown up a lot with his new Adelaide Crows family.
"We get him back here in Broken Hill a bit. One time he came back to see a few of the teachers to apologise to them for being a bit of a bugger to them when he was at school," Mr Hicks said.
"He really is proof you can take the boy out of Broken Hill but you can't take Broken Hill out of the boy."
Tour bus operator and committed Crows fan Milton Hawke makes sure people on his tours know Walker is a Broken Hill boy by pointing out the grounds and Bulldogs clubhouse where the star began his footy career.
"I always point out where the boys, including Dean Solomon (ex-Fremantle and Essendon) and Brent Staker (Brisbane), trained and played ... particularly to any Victorians," Mr Hawke said. He added: "Taylor's game last week was brilliant.
"If they leave him there and let him do his own thing he can star.
"When he's out in the open, one on one, there's not many players who can stop him. He has that X-factor."

Two of the actions that the Flash Video Import Wizard gives us for using video in Flash require the use of the Flash Media Server. It's beyond the scope of this title to cover the Flash Media Server in detail, but it's worth taking a brief look at what the Flash Media Server is in contrast to using Flash video without the Media Server so that you can decide if it's something that you want to investigate on your own more deeply. Adobe's Flash Media Server is separate software that adds server capabilities to Flash applications. You can develop applications for the Flash Media Server using the standard tools that ship with Flash CS3 and your end user can playback applications that use the Flash Media Server in the normal Flash Player.
To get Media Server capabilities, you can either purchase the Flash Media Server as a product and install on your own server or pay a hosting service that utilizes the Flash Media Server. If you're using your own installed Flash Media Server, you'd select the third option from the Import Wizard. If you using a hosting service for Flash Media Server, you'd select the second option. A developer version of the Flash Media Server is free and fully functional for creating Flash Media Server applications as well as testing them with your team. In the context of video of the main reason for using Flash Media Server is to allow for true video streaming.
Now we already mentioned that Flash is capable of streaming video as progressive download without Flash Media Server. With progressive download, the option that we talked about in the previous movie, the video file is streamed sequentially from the server, stored on the end user's hard drive when it's downloaded and it's played from the end user's hard drive. This means that if you have a three-minute video file, the user can be watching the first minute of the video while in the background they're downloading the next minute. However with progressive download, there is no way to watch minute three until the first two minutes have completely downloaded. This is fine for most videos, especially shorter ones, because most people watching videos start at the beginning and watch it sequentially.
But so you're putting up an hour-long video file for a training program or college course that was online, if the user decided that they already knew the first segment of the material and wanted to skip ahead, there is no way that they can skip 45 minutes into the file until the first 44 minutes have been fully downloaded. This can take a very long time and the user probably wouldn't want to wait around for that. With live streaming there would be no wait. Live streaming means that whatever part of the file the user's watching, it's streaming directly from the server and if they want to skip right to 45 minutes, they scrub to 45 minutes and it begins downloading from the server immediately. This is the type is streaming the requires the Media Server.
The other major advantage of the Media Server is that because it can happen live in real time, you can do a live streaming event as it takes place. This means an event taking place in one location to be videotaped, captured and streamed to a Media Server in virtually real-time, streaming it to as many simultaneous viewers as possible. All versions of the Flash Media Server support this live streaming. More advanced and expensive versions of the Flash Media Server include other features that allow you to create multiuser applications, do videoconferencing, multiuser games and to control digital rights management.
Again, everything that we're doing in this title can be done without the use of the Flash Media Server but if you're doing longer form videos, if you need to stream a live video event, if you need to record video files to a server, or if you're concerned with digital rights management then you should look deeper into the Flash Media Server. If you'd like to find out more, visit adobe.com and see Lisa Larsen Kelly's title on Flash Media Server at lynda.com. For now, we'll go on and continue importing our video into Flash.

It's the dog days of summer, so we say … woof!
Of course, we love all sorts of animals, so we also cast a spotlight on some less predictable non-human friends – including horses, snakes and lemurs (yes, lemurs). But we scratch Fido behind the ears by looking at cool activities for dogs and their owners – plus other features with a canine twist.
It' summer, so here's to sunshine - and good health!
The Richmond region has a vibrant and varied health and medical presence, and for the new Discover Richmond, we look at 20 pieces of this diverse puzzle. There's a little nature (a healing garden) and a little nurture (yep, diapers), plus lots of interesting items in between.
For the new Discover Richmond, we got to thinking about the incredible – and tasty – breadth of our burgeoning food scene. So enjoy a feast for the eyes and stomach: We're spotlighting 26 local restaurant "fave" dishes.
As we roll into 2016, Discover Richmond is excited to expand its reach and touch on history, people, food, lifestyles, travel, the arts – the topics you've told us you like.

Berry Craig: My idea of hell would be to spend eternity with Dobson, Morris and the rest of what another of my union buddies calls "The Christian Taliban."
Kudos to Jerry Brown
Joseph Palero: Working hand-in-hand with California's teachers, nurses, students of all ages, and the state's labor unions, Governor Brown rallied the troops, and in doing so helped save from fiscal ruin not only the state's public schools but also the nation's biggest and most important system of public higher education.
The GOP Is Systematically Stealing Democracy
Charley James: We are losing democracy because the GOP and movement conservatives believe, "We're rich enough. We're clever enough. And, doggone it, people may not like us but we can do it anyway."
Saddled with Bad GOP Wingmen, Romney Can't Capture Women Vote
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: It's like Romney is that guy at a party who's chatting up a lady and his wingman—let's call him Senate candidate Richard Mourdock—saunters up and, instead of saying something smooth, offends the lady with whom Romney was hoping to close the deal.
Texas Republican Party's Shift on Immigration
Victoria Defranseco Soto: Republicans have also begun to read the demographic handwriting on the wall and through a softened approach to immigration seek to make Texas Democrats extinct.
Can New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez Fix GOP Ladies' Problem?
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: Its going to take more than seeing a fellow woman on the presidential ticket to woo Independent and Democratic leaning women, but then again didn't the GOP already learn that lesson?
Republicans Have No Foreign Policy
Steve Hochstadt: These guys are not talking to Jews. They are talking about Israel to their base, where Jews are few and far between. Israel for them is just another weapon in their war against Obama. And everyone in Jerusalem knows it.
What Republicans Argue When They Have Nothing Left to Say
Robert Reich: It doesn't even matter that the new Republican tax cut plan would probably raise taxes on many lower-income Americans, All that matters is the headlines.
What Is Happening with Republicans?
Bill Fletcher: The "circle of clowns" of Republican candidates seems increasingly intent on proving that they are the voices of ignorance, fear and irrationalism. I cannot get over it.
Latinos in the South, A Political Piñata
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: The 2010 mid-term election demonstrated that immigration issues could be a potent political force within the GOP. Candidates across the country, and in particular in the South came into office by espousing harsh anti-immigration policies.
Will the GOP's Base Strategy Work Yet Again?
Joseph Palermo: The Republicans think they believe that with enough SuperPAC money and stoking up the base, along with relatively high unemployment and gas prices and millions of underwater mortgage holders, they can win a close election.
Give Karen Santorum Author Credit for Co-Writing Her Husband's Book
Tina Dupuy: Sure it "takes a family" to write a book – but it "takes a woman" to make you look less like a sad desperate relic.
Friday Feedback: Do Newt, Mitt and the Boys Even Like Most People?

One of the most common forms of Iroquois pincushions is the large rectangular pincushion that often features a beaded bird on a field of purple velvet. A frame of beaded leaves surrounds the purple center. I estimate that at least 8,000 of these pincushions were made between 1870 and 1910.
Vintage Clothing: To Buy or Not to Buy, That is the Question!
Vintage Clothing: To Buy or Not to Buy! That is the Question!
By Sharon Maxwell-Yamamoto
A guide on how to choose vintage clothing, how to wear it, what to avoid and WHY to collect it.
First of all, what is vintage clothing? Some people differ on the definition, but generally, if you look it up, you will find this:


text: Coachella officially wrapped up this past weekend, but we'd be lying if we said we weren't still reeling from the awesomeness that was this year's festival. We mean, between the killer street style (celebs included!), surprise Bieber cameos, and mind-blowing performances, the past week has been one for the books. And we have to say a huge part of all that goodness was thanks to break-out band Haim. Not only did we get to experience their rad festival style firsthand, but we also got all kinds of insider deets from the laid-back ladies themselves. Read on for our one-on-three interview, and be sure to click through to catch all the behind-the-scenes photos. Word to the wise: Jimmy Choo accessorized the sisters for Coachella, so you may find yourselves coveting a shoe or purse along the way—consider yourselves warned.\n\nHad you been to Coachella as spectators before or was this your first time?\n\nEste: "We've been sneaking into Coachella since 2005, so it's pretty crazy that we played this year."\n\nWhat was it like performing? Was it as insane as you expected?\n\nAlana: "It was super surreal, and we had the best time. We didn't know what to expect, but our audiences were amazing."\n\nBesides your own performing moments, what were your Coachella highlights this year?\n\nEste: "Solange was amazing. Outkast was dope, and dancing onstage with Pharell was crazy."\n\nYou guys always look so effortlessly put-together. Is your personal style different from your performing style? \n\nAlana: "No, we basically wear the clothes we wear on stage to bed. Plus, I'm really superstitious, and I have one pair of shorts that I wear almost every show."\n\nSo many celebs turn out for festival season. Which one do you think has the best festival look?\n\nEste, Danielle, and Alana: "Kate Moss."\n\nOut of the three of you, who is the biggest clothes horse? Do you ever fight over who's going to wear what?\n\nAlana: "I guess collectively Este and I are. We usually steal from Danielle's closet."\n\nDanielle: "We all share clothes on the road. It's basically a first grab, first serve basis."\n\nWhich celeb meeting has left you the most starstruck?\n\nDanielle: "Meeting Paul McCartney...and then bumping into him again at Coachella."\n\nWe have to know how you get your hair to be that wavy/shiny/amazing? What products do you use?\n\nEste: "We use Davines OI oil for the sheen and Oribe dry texturizing spray to get body."\n\nAre there any essentials you feel like every girl needs to get through a festival day?\n\nDanielle: "Sunscreen is key—we use La Mer moisturizer SPF 50."\n\nAlana: "Hand sanitizer, Miss Marissa perfume, a sturdy pair of sunnies and water."\n\nAnd we have to ask: What did you wear to prom?\n\n Alana: "I wore my mom's old dress from the '70s."

Bearb of Austin, Texas; Granddaughters, Stacie Ann Cortez Guidry and husband Troy of Cypress, Texas; Tracie Lynn Cortez Ross and husband Don of Cypress, Texas; and Tricia R.

Growing up we always knew about our Dad/Poppa Joe's PURPLE HEART. Not until I, his daughter accompanied him to the Veterans Administration (at his age of 83) did I find out who our Poppa Joe truly was! Our father was a BRONZE STAR RECIPIENT. A Very Proud, private and humble person, when questioned by the Veteran taking the application, he simply responded, "You do what you have to do".
He was very proud of his Service to his Country and proud of America. When 9/11 happened he bought a sticker of the American Flag with these words "These colors don't run" for he was again ready to defend this Country Again. One of his proudest moments in his life was his ability to travel to Washington, DC aboard Louisiana Honor Air with his son, Roger Crochet, Vietnam veteran-US Navy and his grandson-in-law, Troy Guidry, Desert Storm veteran-Louisiana National Guard.
A passionate supporter of Veterans especially Disabled American Veterans he was extremely proud of all the young men and women of the military and didn't hesitate to acknowledge and Thank them for their service whenever he saw one.
He will be greatly missed by all who have ever had the opportunity of getting to know him as part of their lives.
We were three siblings, and He was such a Great Man and Dad that the two of us that were not of his blood, didn't know we weren't! How Blessed were we.
Special Thanks to a Loving God Child Dorothy Royer and husband Rufus (Blackie) for the many years of fish fry's, Bar Be Que and in his final years the Extra loving Care, Concern and Prayers.

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz helped coach Jerry Sloan celebrate his 65th birthday with a division title.
After suffering through the only three lottery seasons in his 19 years with Utah, Sloan saw his team clinch the Northwest Division championship Wednesday night.
Carlos Boozer had 25 and 11 rebounds and Mehmet Okur added 23 points and 12 boards to help the Jazz beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-102.
"Being able to win the division is kind of a special thing. Sometimes you take it for granted but to me it's quite an accomplishment.
Hopefully, we don't stop there," said Sloan, who is the longest tenured coach in any of the four major sports.
Coupled with Denver's 100-97 loss to Seattle on Wednesday, the Jazz claimed their first division championship since they won their sixth division title in the 1999-2000 season. Behind Karl Malone and John Stockton, Utah finished 55-27 in the Midwest Division that year.
His players acknowledge the accomplishment but are hungry for more.
"It's the first time this group has done it and the first time for this organization in a few years, so we're excited about that. But we have bigger fish to fry," Boozer said.
Deron Williams, who had 22 points and 14 assists, said, "We'll get a banner up and it's good for us and the organization, but there's a bigger picture. Once we get in the playoffs, we want to win a league championship. That's the ultimate goal."
Okur, who rebounded from a stretch of four games where he averaged only eights points, made a 3-pointer with 2:58 remaining and then was fouled while attempting another with 33.8 seconds left.
He has earned a reputation for late-game heroics this season and delivered with two of the three free throws for a 101-95 lead.
Williams and Derek Fisher combined to make 7-of-8 free throws in the last 25 seconds to secure the victory, which was Utah's seventh straight at home.
Kevin Garnett scored 25 points and Ricky Davis added 13 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, but the Jazz held off the Wolves rally.
"We fought, we fought. It came down to last four minutes of execution," Garnett said.
The Timberwolves led by as many as six in the third quarter, but Okur sparked a 7-0 run with a 3-pointer late in the period. The Jazz led 74-70 and did not trail the rest of the way.
Despite playing the night after blowing the largest lead in franchise history and looking sluggish at times, the Timberwolves stayed within single digits the entire game but could not stop Boozer and Okur down the stretch.
"We bounced back from a hard situation last night. I thought the our guys laid their hearts on the line and played with effort," Minnesota coach Randy Wittman said.
On Tuesday, Minnesota led by 25 in the second half but lost to Seattle 114-106 at home.
Rookies Randy Foye scored 17 points and Craig Smith continued his best stretch of the season with 16 points. Smith has scored 10 or more points in seven of his last nine games after reaching double figures just twice in the prior 36 games. But Smith made a rookie mistake, fouling Okur behind the 3-point line with 33.8 seconds left.
"We had our chances. We kind of let it slip away tonight. Utah is a very good team so you can't slack off at all," Davis said.
Watching the Jazz play, Wittman said, "You get a better idea of what you are missing, and what you've got to become. We've got to take a serious look at what we have to do to get where Utah is."
Andrei Kirilenko had 13 points, eight rebounds, five blocks and three steals for the Jazz, who are tied for the second-best home record in the league at 29-7.
"Andrei was alive. He blocked shots, got steals and he was able to shoot the ball. He kept us in the game in the first half with his defense," Sloan said.
Matt Harpring, Utah's fourth-leading scorer, missed the game due to a stomach virus. Gordan Giricek missed his sixth straight contest with bruised ribs but rookie Ronnie Brewer made two critical fourth-quarter baskets in their absence.
Regarding the division title, Boozer said, "It's great but it's just one step in many steps we want to take this year." The Jazz, who ended their three-game homestand undefeated, now head out for a four-game road trip.
- Garnett, who failed to reach 10 boards for the second time in his last three starts, leads the league in games with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds at 60. Boozer is third with 44.
- The Wolves are 6-11 on the tail end of back-to-back games.
- Minnesota remains four games behind the Los Angeles Clippers, who lost to Houston Wednesday, for the last playoff slot in the Western Conference.

Posted on 05/03/2014 8:14:38 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
...Five years ago, green jobs were all the rage in Washington. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was rolled out with a win-win agenda aimed at fixing the economy and healing the environment at once. Candidate Obama touted a blueprint for a green economy, with plans to create 5 million green jobs.
Though federal green initiatives have provided vital seed money for wind farms and solar-generation projects nationwide, the blue-collar workers who have the most to gain from the projected clean-tech boom are still struggling to find any job, much less a green one.
Indeed, some environmentalists say that green jobs might have been a more sustainable political venture if they had been more realistically billed as part of a broader climate change policy, not a big jobs booster in a slumped economy.
Rather than bean-counting with job statistics and return-on-investment figures, activists can start rethinking green within the context of social protection, and focus on building policies around social equityfrom subsidizing green power for low-income households, to shifting jobs from coal plants to the solar panels. Environmentalism can be a populist movementif the political framing of climate policy centers not on just cutting carbon but cultivating justice.
(Excerpt) Read more at thenation.com ...
The real green in Obama's green revolution was the green color of the money he and his pals stole from taxpayers.
"activists can start rethinking green within the context of social protection, and focus on building policies around social equityfrom subsidizing green power for low-income households, to shifting jobs from coal plants to the solar panels. Environmentalism can be a populist movementif the political framing of climate policy centers not on just cutting carbon but cultivating justice."
scary paragraph
same place as Obama's past
Some 35 years ago I took thermodynamics from a former astronaut. As part of the lecture and homework we worked through dozens of what are now called "green" schemes. None of them made any sense at all. They were tremendously more expensive than oil or coal or natural gas. He debunked all of them. There never were any "green" jobs and there most likely never will be.
I just drove from NY to CO for the first time in many years.
Western Iowa, which used to be rolling plains of corn, beans, and occasional tree line with wind gently rippling over it.
Now the view is marred by huge windmills. 500 foot tall monstrosities. I feel that western Iowa has been violated, in order to save a few million cubic feet of natural gas.
Same place as:
* Transporter Operator
* Ghost Buster (paid ones with traps and ghost-stopping weapons)
* Flying Car Limo driver
* Bitcoin Bank Teller
* Pleasant DMV clerk
Where have all the green jobs gone?
Short time passing.
Where have all the jobs gone?
Short time ago.
Where have all the jobs gone?
The Democrats have closed them ev'ry one.
Oh, When will they ever learn?
Oh, When will they ever learn?
The only Green Job left is shoveling up all the dead birds around the wind turbines.
The economic factor is what killed the "green" jobs. There was no incentive to pay more for a product (energy) from some unreliable and uncertain source, so long as there were good reliable sources available.
All the "green energy" schemes were totally dependent on a back-up source of power generation, to even make them feasible. Short summation - why invest in the uncertain and unreliable method, when the certain and reliable source was still vastly cheaper in terms of infrastructure, operating costs, and distribution, and it had to be built anyway?
Every one of these schemes depended on the presence of a back-up in the form of natural gas fired power plants.
When we run out of natural gas (and there is no such thing as "peak production" of natural gas), then we can talk about "alternative energy".
Unicorns, rainbows, and pixie dust.
Indeed, that is one of the weirdest paragraphs I've read in a long time. I worked in scores of industrial and utility power plants as a field service engineer right out of school, and I can tell you, out of the hundreds of plant workers I worked with, NOT ONE was concerned about "cultivating justice." They cared about getting their checks and keeping their jobs.
The author is saying the envirokooks can create a populist movement if they focus on "cultivating justice." Shouldn't populist movements by definition arise on their own free accord? If public opinion has to be shaped and molded so we all see the wonders of "cultivating justice," then it cannot be a populist movement.
These people are scary because of the outsize disproportionate control they have over our everyday lives. How the tiny extreme fringe of envirokooks came to dictate how we live our lives and force things we don't want on us is a huge mystery. Shutting down coal plants, destroying dams, light bulbs, microcars with 57 mpg, appliances that don't work, toilets that don't flush, and on and on.
Maybe in 100, 500, 1,000, or 5,000 years when the fossil fuels are finally gone. Fundamental economics will take care of the problem when the time requires it.
Gone with the flowers, everyone.
They were illusory just as tax cuts to produce jobs. The jobs were exported by both parties. Restore MADE IN USA and restore prosperity.
You speak the truth: Obama and his buddies have looted the Treasury of the United States and it will be years until the full amount is completely calculated.
There may be no "fossil" fuels. Companies are finding oil almost everywhere once they get down several miles. The theory is oil is created by deep planet bacteria. Wells that were "dry" in the 1940's are pumping again. If the fossil theory was true they'd go dry and stay that way. (See book at url.)
It appears Ivanpah may act as a mega-trap, attracting insects which in turn attract insect-eating birds, which are incapacitated by solar-flux injury, thus attracting predators and creating an entire food chain vulnerable to injury and death, concluded scientists with the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in a report that investigated 233 bird deaths representing 71 species at three Southern California solar power plants. -- Todd Woody, Atlantic, April 28, 2014
Even if Thomas Gold's theory is correct, it will cost vastly more to drill miles deep. Fundamental economics and free markets should still determine the most cost-effective method to meet the energy demands of consumers.
Oil and gas are hydrocarbon based....so are organic ...thus here are the "Green" jobs...in West Texas, ND and other fracking places.
"Even if Thomas Golds theory is correct, it will cost vastly more to drill miles deep. "
You are absolutely correct. But I think people should begin to rethink using the words "fossil fuel" which implies once it's gone it's gone for good. The result of that thinking is...GO GREEN! Whether it makes sense to do so or not. As you point out, it' doesn't make sense to do so until there's a reason for it. That reason will be economic.
The green jobs went to China but the green jobs billions went to DC lobbyists, community organizers, campaign donors, and other parasites.
And daddy won't you take me back to old Perry County
Down by the Kentucky River where Economic survival did lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Obamas Climate Change hoax has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd hear lies about the warmest year ever,
But the weatherman would tell us about a 100 year old unbroken heat record,
And real scientists know that CO2 has been detrimental to the Earth never,
And the politicians and carbon credit scammers would like us all to be Algored.
(Parody of John Prine's Paradise)
"Long Time Passing"???????????????
Once Again,You Stole My Thunder!!Great Minds???????????
1. The projects are almost all bankrupt.
2. The money has gone into Obama's cronys' pockets.
3. Time to move on . . . and create more green jobs!
"How the tiny extreme fringe of envirokooks came to dictate how we live our lives and force things we dont want on us is a huge mystery."
It began with Richard Nixon's malignant idea of the EPA. The true believers in the environmentalist religion discovered they could expand their power by writing regulations that had the force of law. By brainwashing the stupid taxpayers into accepting their mainly bogus "Endangered Species" listings, they could take over private property by calling it a 'wetland," kill entire industries for the Spotted Owl, and stop dams, developments and agriculture by citing a minnow or salamander's rights. This should never have happened in the USA.
That's sad.
It's The Nation. It's basically an old school publication for unreconstructed Marxists who are up on using all the new Leftist terminology. No one there with a lick of sense about real business.
Why I instinctively start puking when I hear that phrase "social justice" or getting "justice" of some sort. When you hear someone spouting that phrase or words, you know you have an ignoramus or an outright communist.
Thank you. I have always said "follow the money". Additonally, citizens need to be aware that the Environmental Lobby and the Politicians they buy are the greatest danger facing the U.S. Ecoonomy and it's Security.
I'm sure he meant well. Bill O'Reilly stated that Obama is a "Patriot" and "his heart is in the right place."
You just have to give his genius time to work; it takes time to undo all the damage of Bush and george Washington.
...I'm kidding, of course....

Kim Kardashian: I wanted to pull plug on wedding but didn't want to disappoint fans
- From: news.com.au
- November 02, 2011
- Kim Kardashian talks about marriage split
- Starlet says she wanted to call off wedding
- Hits out at reports relationship was a sham
KIM Kardashian has spoken at length for the first time about her split from husband Kris Humphries, admitting she only went ahead with the couple's TV wedding because she didn't want to disappoint fans.
The reality starlet, who touched down in Sydney this morning, took to her blog to give her side of the headline-grabbing break-up.
"I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon.
"I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have.
"I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people," the 30-year-old wrote.
The entrepreneur, in Australia to spruik a line of handbags, also hit out at reports that her 72 day marriage to Humphries was a sham.
"First and foremost, I married for love. I can't believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!" Kardashian said in the post.
Kardashian also poured cold water on speculation she and Humphries had pocketed $US18 million ($17.4 million) for their televised "I dos".

Are you serious? Blame your fans for your break-up? she's lucky to have any. What important contribution has she made to society? i seem to have forgotten. Of course it was some publicity grab, that's about all she seems to be able to do

I wonder if this woman realises how silly she sounds?

Posting Comments and Personal Stories on a Website
What's the liability of a website for user's comments?
Many websites invite and post comments from users. Sometimes these are in the form of comments, other times they are reviews, and in other cases, a site may invite opinions or stories that are aggregated over several pages. What's the liability of a website for user's comments?
The good news is that your site can avoid most liability by abiding by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (which shields you from claims of copyright infringement) and the rules set forth in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (which shields you from liability for statements published by others). Keep in mind, you must follow the rules for the shields to work. In general, your concerns for posting comments personal stories are outlined below. The best way to implement these rules is to incorporate them into a set of terms and conditions that you post on one web page. Then as a condition of signing in to make comments, the user checks a box or clicks to accept the terms and conditions when submitting the comment:
- Copyright: You should obtain an assurance that the work is original to the author and that the author has the right to permit publication and that the author grants you the limited right to post it online. If you want more rights -- say to publish a collection of comments and stories in eBook format -- you should acquire those rights now, at the time of submission. The same is true if you want the option for additional rights – for example, to republish material at another site or in another language.
- Invasion of Privacy and Trade Secrets: Comments and personal stories often involve personal details that would be otherwise be private. You need an assurance that the posting won't reveal any personal or trade secrets that will cause your site to get sued.
- Children's Privacy: We would suggest avoiding taking any materials from children under 13. (You should seek an assurance that person submitting the story is 13 or older.) That's the approach facebook takes, for example. If you start taking information from children under that age, you'll need to deal with a law known as COPPA and that may not be worth the effort.
- Defamation: Comments or personal stories that include untrue statements about others could lead to defamation suits. You need an assurance there's nothing defamatory.
So, in summary, you need permission to publish and assurances that the publications don't violate any laws. As noted, these assurances and permissions can be bundled in a click-to-accept statement that the user must agree to before uploading the information. Any electronic method of assent that can be verified -- checking a box, clicking to accept, etc. -- will suffice.

XLink Kai
XLink Banner With Current Logo
|Team XLink
|Stable release
7.4.29 / January 31, 2016
|Operating system
|Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Raspberry Pi
|Official website
XLink Kai is a method developed by Team-XLink for online play of certain System Link compatible video games. It enables players on the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox and Xbox 360 to play games across the Internet using a network configuration that simulates a local area network (LAN). It notably also allows original Xbox games to be played online again following the Xbox Live shutdown on April 21, 2010 (similar to that of Save Nintendo Wi-Fi for the Wii) and certain GameSpy titles such as Saints Row 2 to be played online after the GameSpy shutdown on May 31, 2014.
XLink Kai is tunneling software which acts as a LAN (it 'tricks' the servers into believing it is a LAN) to connect users from all over the world, creating a free online gaming network. For XLink Kai to work, the Kai client program must be installed and running on a compatible Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux device.
For modified ("modded") Xbox consoles, much of the functionality can be provided directly within the Xbox Media Center (XBMC for Xbox) GUI. The Kai client is still required to be running on a computer on the user's network, but players can control connections directly through the console. It is also possible to run the Kai client on other Linux-based devices, such as wireless routers or NAS devices running third party firmware replacements such as DD-WRT or SlugOS.
Users log onto XLink's servers using a XTag username, similar to a "Gamertag" for Xbox Live. XLink has "Arenas" for each compatible System Link game, with more popular games such as Halo 2 having sub-arenas based on regions within them as an attempt to minimize lag. Players in these arenas will be automatically synced to each other, simulating a LAN connection and thus able to play games normally using System Link functions. In addition to Game Arenas, Kai has a general chat room and a Quarantine Arena in which moderators can isolate abusive players. XLink also lets players create their own self-moderated Private Arenas.
Xlink Kai supports Nintendo GameCube,[1] PlayStation 2,[1] PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable,[2][3] Xbox[1][4] and Xbox 360 LAN enabled games. It features integrated chat lobbies in which players can meet and converse prior to starting a game session. Clan, tournament and ladder lobbies are also integrated for some games. A list of compatible games can be found on the Team-XLink website. Special considerations have been made for the Xbox 360, which is designed by Microsoft to be incompatible with this kind of software. The console will automatically drop connections if the ping is > 30 milliseconds in a system link connection. However a patch has been released to bypass this limit on modified consoles.[5] At one point support for the Nintendo DS was planned, but was never completed.[6]
XBMC for Microsoft's Xbox console has a control client for XLink Kai that allows control of the XLink Kai software program from the user's Xbox via XBMC GUI. MC360 is a skin for XBMC by Blackbolt that gives the XLink Kai client (XBMC-Live) a familiar interface resembling the Xbox 360's factory dashboard and Xbox Live's connectivity for friends, arenas, etc. XLink Kai was removed from XBMC builds 14099 and later.

Frustrated with Landon Cassill at Kansas Speedway, Danica Patrick decided to send him a message. She spun Cassill — and wrecked her own car, ending her race early. She was scolded by crew chief Greg Zipadelli, who complained over the team radio: "You know better than to do that." Zipadelli isn't angry at Patrick, and he said he ultimately views Sunday's incident as a learning experience in a year that is supposed to prepare her for next season's jump to a full-time season in the Sprint Cup Series. But Stewart-Haas Racing had added Kansas to her schedule because the repaved track was opened early for testing and Patrick could gain invaluable seat time over the course of the weekend.

Every year, a few tasty college football matchups get our stomachs rumbling in the offseason and serve up a big helping of excitement and thrills when they play out on the field.
Just this season alone, we've seen Georgia vs. Clemson, LSU vs. TCU, Arizona State vs. Wisconsin, Nebraska vs. UCLA, Alabama vs. Virginia Tech and a handful of others that wrote interesting chapters in the 2013 season.
Several notable out-of-conference matchups remain on the schedule, but from this point on, most teams are beginning to enter the conference slate where traditional rivalries are resumed.
But what if you could create your own schedule and pick your own games to see?
Here are 20 dream college football matchups we wish were on the schedule in 2013.

10 Comic-Book Heroines We Want in Movies!
Wonder Woman! Vixen! Domino! See our wish list, plus who we think should star (Beyonce, Anna Faris) and direct (Julie Taymor, Terry Gilliam) to make each one fly
Slide 1 of 10
Wonder Woman
Why She Deserves A Movie: Listen, we get why it's hard to bring Wonder Woman to the big screen. For one thing, she has a couple of powers that seem ready-made for Aquaman-style scorn (invisible plane! lasso of truth!). More problematically, she lives in a weird gray area of Proto-Feminist Icon and Skimpily-Dressed Bombshell. But that particularly modern gender-role confusion is even more reason for this movie to be made. Explicitly created in 1941 to break up the superhero boys' club, Wonder Woman's struggles in the world of men have never felt more topical. Who Should Star: Practically every brunette actress in Hollywood has been rumored as a possibility to put on Wonder Woman's magic bracelets. As a left-field choice, Morena Baccarin would combine the requisite amount of hot charisma (see Firefly) and imperial authority (see V.) And then there's a really left-field choice that's actually brilliant: Beyoncé Knowles. Who Should Direct: Kathryn Bigelow, who is Wonder Woman.

There are still loads of great horror movies, they just don't get wide theatrical releases very often.
I just think horror films (regardless of where this stands within the series) have taken such a downfall over the past couple decades or so. None of this does much for me. We know it's not real despite the "based on true...." and the shaky cam is annoying more than anything else. None of these films scare me in the least. Even the much loved "Conjuring" didn't do it for me. I can admire the craft behind it, but did it really frighten me? Nope! I am not one of those with too much of an ego to admit I can be scared, but they didn't. Two horror films did work for me. 2008's The strangers and more recently, You're next. The latter wasn't quite as frightening, but it didn't take itself so seriously. The strangers truly freaked me out though. Outside of those two, I really can't think of any others that have done much for me. I'm sure I am blanking out on maybe one or two, but nothing comes to mind. I just think the genre is running on fumes. They have such small budgets that either way they'll make their money back and then some. The purge was pretty decent, but I'd say that's more thriller territory than anything else.
I actually caught this (For free) when they were giving away tickets. I will admit, I had a lot of fun with it. It's a spinoff with some elements that tie back to the main PA storyline. Definitely worth a redbox at the very least. Might pick it up on Blu at some point if it is around $10.
I hate how everyone assumes this movie is Paranormal Activity 5. IT'S A SPIN-OFF PEOPLE. Regardless, this movie probably sucked lol. The reviews were trash, it looked trash, and the last one was lackluster. I wasn't even a huge fan of the third to be honest. Let's hope #5 is good but according to some rumored character types, it sounds even more dull than the fourth. And just when I thought this series was getting good.
So sick of these stupid movies. I mean the Saw films WERE played out, but they were at least better than this c**p.

Both DH and I work full-time. I was born in the US but raised speaking Mandarin. DH is not Chinese.
When ODS was born, he had a Chinese-speaking au pair and I spoke in Chinese almost exclusively with him until we got a late diagnosis of Down Syndrome many months later. Abandoned the dual-languages a year later since his verbal communications skills were very delayed.
YDS is now 3 yo. Clearly very bright. Also regretting not keeping up with the Chinese with ODS, since he still understands every word I say in Chinese (and can count 1-10 and recognize major colors in Spanish, too -- ok ok, please, no lectures on not having high expectations.)
Have any of you been able to "reinstate" the teaching of a second language later in the game? Short of enrolling them in a Mandarin-immersion school (none of them will accept a child with Down Syndrome), what would you do?

Got a 19/20 on my history exam, which is higher than I was expecting. I hope that performance holds for my chem exam next week, because I'm feeling less confident about the newer material than the stuff on the first exam (which was mostly review). Stereochemistry is a b****.

Two exams this week and then I get to go home for Thanksgiving break on Friday =) About time, I really need the bread.
The reason I refer to it as college is because I go to a sixth form college which comes before university.
I actually have no intention of going to university whatsoever...
Found my way back here after what seems like forever, not much has changed.
My Tumblr (For all the fangirling trauma and day to day rambles hah)
So, I got two of the classes I need for next quarter, which is amazing considering I had a horrible appointment time and there was only one spot left in one of the classes when I registered. I'll probably end up having to waitlist for the third class, but I'm just happy I got the two most important ones.

Kinda stressing about the huge reading packet I just had to do for AP US– I've done enough that I can finish it in the morning/at lunch, but there were several answers I couldn't find and as this factors into my test grades I don't want it to drag down the test I took today. The multiple choice there was a little tricky because my teacher loves to catch us with little details and I know I screwed up describing the Blackhawk War (confused with the Seminole War and felt stupid), but I'm pretty confident about my essay and short answers.

We've got a sit-in going on in one of the buildings on our campus right now to fight this and meanwhile I'm just in my room. It does suck though, tuition hikes are the last thing any student would ever want.

So my exams started today, I had maths-tech free and English, both were easier than expected only problems being I had forgotten to graph a logarithm but luckily I figured it out before the reading time was over by mentally plotting points. These are my two easiest exams as I'm on an A+ for English and I excel at maths but I tripped up in my English exam. I had to write a context essay and forgot to link it back to the texts until I was writing the conclusion at which point I had to decide whether to drop marks for not linking it back, or for introducing new information in the conclusion. I chose the latter with my only piece on consolidation being that the top guy in our year completely forgot about linking back the context to the texts.
In other news I promised myself today is the only day I'll play Alpha Saphire till my exams are over which means that it is currently 10 to 1am where I live and after playing 6.5 hours I think it's time to go to sleep.
You know, I don't remember the last time I had a great school year. I used to be such a school boy back in middle school. I've been doing poorly on most of my classes because I never get my assignments done on time. I'll never get my BAS this way, haha. I learn everything and my exams are great, but the homework kills me. Still, I haven't given up. Even after wasting 7 years coming out of high school, I'm still trying to get a degree. I got time. I have 4 and a half years left to finish 3 and a half years worth of classes. It's possible. I have the right attitude, I just have to change my habits.
I've been on away from Pokemon for a while since the termination of the Nintendo Wifi Connection. In the mean time, I'll be replaying Yellow, Crystal and Emerald. Hit me up if you're a classics junky, or if you need some help within these games
I've finished all assessments for this year and have roughly three weeks left of year 10, then it's year 11 at another school, since my school is combined with two others to form a sort of college, but it's high school and not truly college. I've finished all assessment tasks, except for one in IPT, which is an accelerated subject and is to be completed over the holidays. Thing is, though, I don't really want to do it, but I know I have to.
I've gotten good results in the yearly exams and other assessment tasks, but I can't help but feel nervous that I won't do any good. I'm also worrying about the transition from Year 10 to 11 and the change in schools. I hope it won't be as tough as going from primary school to secondary/high school.

PM me if you add me.
Thanksgiving break is over. Soon I have final exams to deal with. Time for me to work as hard as I possibly can on my classes.
I received my book list for next year, unfortunately its going to cost a ton of money and 90% can't be bought second-hand because of the updated curriculum hence new textbooks and on top of that the course fees. Why must text-books be so goddamn expensive? >_>
I have claimed
I currently attend Baruch College in New York City and am a fifth year student here. My only knock about it is that it is designed for you to stay well past four years to graduate. Also everything is so damn expensive seeing as how the school is literally in downtown Manhattan. The commute from the Bronx (where I live) can also be a hit and miss. I usually hang around Hunter College to compensate for the stuck up suits of a student body with lack of social lives.
Majoring in communications because I sucked at Calc and failed three times when it was a requirement for all business courses here LOL.
so i've got a policy analysis to write in the next 3 days
and i just got assaulted/robbed (well, mostly assaulted, police recovered what was stolen since i reported it basically instantly) so i'm not exactly in a solid mental state right now
this is going to be fun
Have an algebra final next week, and just did my Comp final this week. Ready for this to be over this semester.
Anyone else in a double-major? I'm doing cartography and engineering
I failed a class for the first time ever this semester. Business Finance. I missed the first exam because reasons and even if I made a 100 on the final exam, my average would be a 2 points away from passing. And I know I won't make a 100 because I never even came close to that in previous tests this semester.
Oh well.
