Hey world,
I am happy to share with you that we are now undefeated...Oh how I love the sound of that. We have really been improving and playing better as a whole, so I am extremely happy about that. There are a few challenges we will have to face very soon, but you all know me; I am ready for them and accept them all.

Temeka Johnson,
Contributing writer
We played against a Russian team that is very close to Siberia that included Dynamo N and Sidney Spencer. While our team played well and was able to come away with the victory, I was happy to see and catch up with Sid.
We will be leaving again at the end of the this week to head to Vologda, which is a 16-hour train ride, God help us. We'll be facing my (WNBA) teammate Glory Johnson as well Jasmine Thomas who plays for the Washington Mystics. It will be great to see them and I know it will be a fun and exciting up-tempo game.
I will have more for you in this upcoming week. Stay tuned for more fun and excitement.

Dudley firings cost thousands for Oak Harbor, 'stay tuned' for more changes
The firing of Oak Harbor City Administrator Paul Schmidt and City Attorney Margery Hite will cost taxpayers at least $147,765.
Both were unceremoniously let go late last week by newly elected Mayor Scott Dudley. While the decision isn't expected to cause any legal problems as they were "at will" employees — people who can be let go for no reason — it will be expensive.
The two senior-level Oak Harbor leaders are contracted employees, and the termination of their jobs without cause means they are entitled to the previously negotiated severance packages outlined in their contracts.
Schmidt will be paid his salary, totaling $92,421, for the next eight months, while Hite's will total $55,344 for the next six months. Both will also receive further benefits, such as medical, but those costs are still being tabulated.
According to Finance Director Doug Merriman, the financial hit was not expected but city coffers do have the funds to cover the expense. The money will come from the city's reserve fund, he said.
"It is a significant cost but it doesn't impair the city's financial position," Merriman said.
The reserve fund has a current balance of about $3.7 million. The severance packages should reduce that by about 1.2 percent, he said.
'Some long faces'
Reaction at City Hall to the news has been a mix of surprise, dreaded expectancy and, no doubt, some hard feelings. The two senior employees worked for Oak Harbor for years and were well liked by their colleagues.
"Paul and Margery were very popular," said Bill Hawkins, who has taken over for Hite as city attorney. "There were definitely some long faces last week."
Dudley fired both employees during his very first week on the job. He started hinting about staff changes nearly a year ago when he first launched his campaign to defeat incumbent Jim Slowik.
His decision also came just weeks after City Councilman Rick Amberg's controversial December proposal to place a hiring and firing freeze of all staff before Dudley could take office. Almberg, who is currently out of the country, cited financial concerns related to severance packages.
While Dudley's plans have been widely talked about, it still caught even the most veteran city politicians off guard.
"Not surprised but it was shocking," said City Councilman Danny Paggao, describing his reaction to the news.
Having been in office since 1994, he's seen many changes made by mayors going back as far as Al Koetje. But this was the most unexpected of them all, said Paggao, particularly concerning Schmidt.
The longtime councilman called him "quite intelligent," saying Schmidt's background in public works and experience as a city administrator has armed him a great deal of "corporate knowledge on municipal issues."
Paggao made it clear that he has no problem with the decision as state law affords mayors the prerogative to select their own administration. He may not fully understand it, but Paggao said he respects Dudley's decision.
Filling vacancies
The mayor has declined to say why he let either employee go, saying only that he believes his decision was made in the best interest of the community. He appointed Hawkins, a former two-term Island County prosecutor, as city attorney and Planning Director Steve Powers as interim city administrator.
Per city code, a permanent replacement for Schmidt will have to be approved by the city council. Powers has declined to say whether he is interested in the job permanently, that his interest right now is to help the mayor and city council.
"My focus is on the here and now," Powers said.
As for the city attorney's position, that's a decision that Dudley can and has made on his own. It's a latitude allowed to mayors largely due to the sensitive nature of the attorney-client relationship, Hawkins said.
Dudley has said repeatedly in the past that he would not make any decisions about staff changes until after he conducted department head reviews. But when asked when those occurred, he would only say that he spoke with Hite on Friday and Schmidt on Thursday of last week.
He acknowledged that he spoke with Hawkins and Powers shortly after the November election, telling both employees that they didn't need to worry about their jobs. He met with them again last month to discuss how a change might be handled, he said.
He denied having "recruited" either person, saying he met with them so as to be better prepared to address a vacancy quickly if one occurred. He claimed he had not "officially" made any decisions until last week.
More changes ahead
In light of the recent controversy over Almberg's motion, Dudley's quick action last week was a clear message to the city council that his plans will not be thwarted.
"When we have the opportunity to make a change for the benefit of Oak Harbor, we're going to do so," Dudley said.
He made that equally evident last week when he ordered the filming of a standing committee meeting. He had broached the subject the night before at a city council meeting but the proposal was not formally adopted.
On Friday, Dudley announced another shocker, that he'd fired Fire Chief Mark Soptich and that Police Chief Rick Wallace was retiring. More is likely to come, he said.
"I wish I could tell you we're done but I'm going to continue to take strong hard looks at all department heads," Dudley said.

FENTON – It's an exciting time for high school basketball. And Grand Blanc's Tre'von Avery delivered one of the best individual performances that I've ever witnessed – in person – Friday night at Fenton.
Avery drilled five 3-pointers with for 25 points in the first half as Grand Blanc collected another district title with a win over Ortonville-Brandon. He was in a zone, dropping improbable shots from everywhere.
Throughout my three-year career working for The Flint Journal, Avery's hot shooting made me reflect on some of the greatest individual performances in high school games I've ever covered in the Flint-area. Not the best that I've ever saw, but the best I've ever covered featuring great individual performances. There's a big difference.
Honestly, only a handful of other games came to mind and Avery's is right up there with those.
Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:
- MSU-bound guard Tori Jankoska scores 32 points to help Freeland upset top-ranked Goodrich in girls hoops
There was a lot of fuss entering the game about Freeland guard Tori Jankoska and how good she was but what struck me the most was seeing Michigan State University women's basketball coach Suzy Merchant in the stands at Goodrich. Jankoska, now a freshman at MSU, definitely got my attention by scoring 34 points with six rebounds and two blocks to help Freeland beat Goodrich 56-52 on Feb. 2, 2013. Jankoska nailed five of her six 3-pointers in the first half, but Tania Davis – a sophomore at the time – took on the challenge of guarding Jankoska and scored 17 points and four assists. Taylor Gleason led Goodrich with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four rebounds.
- Mr. Basketball finalist Monte Morris scores career-high 36 points in final home game, Beecher thumps Flint Hamady for district crown
Watching Monte Morris on a regular basis in high school was a special treat. Reporters are fortunate enough to cover a special player of his stature once every so often and his final home game was legendary. Hamady and Beecher are always targeting each other heading into the season, but once again Beecher sent the Hawks home in the post season but this time Morris went into a zone. He scored a career-high 36 points with seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block without playing much of the fourth quarter. The intensity in Beecher's gym was phenomenal and that game let the fans know that he was serious about repeating as a state champion and that the Mr. Basketball trophy was his.
- Beecher's Monte Morris proves he's Mr. Basketball with 28 points in tight quarterfinal win over Detroit Consortium
Morris didn't go off for a career-high but in one of the biggest games of his senior season, "Man-Man" showed up and took over. The day after winning the Mr. Basketball Trophy, Morris erased any doubt that he was deserving of the award with a game-high 28 points with six rebounds on March 19, 2013. Beecher beat Detroit Consortium 46-44 in a quarterfinal game in West Bloomfield and Beecher advanced to the Class C semifinals for the fourth straight season.

Top Fashion Designers Collaborate to Design Custom Carpets for Elson & Company to Benefit Breast Cancer
Warning: Illegal offset type in /home/sohautes/public_html/wp-content/plugins/order-up-custom-post-order/custompostorder.php on line 344
Remember this "Outfit to Room" story from the June/July 2008 issue of Domino? In this feature, stylist Tina Chai's colorful Thakoon skirt was used as inspiration to create this room:
Well, Thakoon must have taken note of how beautifully his skirt's print translates into interiors as he recently adapted it to create this limited-edition rug design for Elson & Company:
Pretty fab, right? This design is part of the Fashion Underfoot II capsule collection for Elson & Company, designed in partnership with the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America). Along with Thakoon, celebrated fashion designers including Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein Home, Doo Ri, Cynthia Rowley, Lily Pulitzer, Tory Burch and Peter Som collaborated to design a collection of unique custom carpets that were hand woven with Himilayan wool by a team of master artisans in Nepal. All of the carpets can be ordered in custom sizes and are available through AM Collections in New York. The best part is that 10% percent of the proceeds will benefit Fashion Targets Breast Cancer – a major philantrhopic initiative of the CFDA that is committed to supporting women with breast cancer and has raised more than $40 million for the cause since 1994. Click here for more info and below is a look at more of the designs from Fashion Underfoot II. I'm especially loving the psychedelic looking rug by Cynthia Rowley!

Businesses hoping to do work with Detroit under Kwame Kilpatrick would be excluded, unless they included Bobby Ferguson and his affiliate companies, Ferguson Enterprises and Xcel Construction.
One of Ferguson's invoices — for work and material he never provided, according to testimony by Thomas Hardiman Sr., an ex-employee for city contractor Lakeshore Services Inc. — came with the invoicing company's name misspelled.
Atop the $450,000 invoice read the invoicing company's name, Johnson Consulting Services, a firm operated by Ferguson's wife.
Hardiman said there was no prior warning or explanation for why the invoice came in on a Johnson Consulting invoice. There was no involvement by the company.
The bill contained several line items for phantom work and services never provided — $25,000 for air equipment, $40,000 for management services, $55,000 for for material disposal and others — and Johnson Consulting Services was misspelled, reading "Johnson Consulant" in the header.
Hardiman worked for Lakeshore Services Inc. in 2004, an environmental engineering company that sought work from Detroit's Water and Sewerage Department.
He said it became clear what Lakeshore must do if they desired contracts — involve Ferguson — but the something-for-nothing relationship wore on him.
His boss, Avinash Rachmale, the owner of Lakeshore, begrudgingly instructed Hardiman to concede to the demands for multiple contracts in order to keep the work flowing.
While working on a subsequent water and sewer job with Xcel Construction, another company affiliated with Ferguson, Hardiman said Calvin Hall, Xcel's vice president, came to collect from him on multiple occasions.
Hardiman didn't disguise his contempt for the setup, he said.
"You're a parasite," Hardiman testified he told Hall more than once. "He was requesting payment for services I didn't feel were deserved."
Lakeshore, after having contracts valued at $15 million nixed when it didn't involve Ferguson in a bid the year prior, felt Ferguson was crucial in getting the necessary contracts.
He was on board the next time Lakeshore bid.
Hardiman was called to testify on the 22nd day of testimony in the public corruption trial for ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick; Kilpatrick's father, Bernard Kilpatrick; Kilpatrick's longtime friend and a city contractor, Bobby Ferguson; and former Water and Sewerage Director Victor Mercado.
When the trial proceeds Monday at 9 a.m. Hardiman will likely remain on the stand. His former boss, Avinash Rachmale, the owner of Lakeshore, is expected to follow on the witness stand.

The race for South Africa's new leader has already begun. The choice will have significant international implications.
Regions / Africa
The Bush administration created an imaginary front against terrorism in North Africa. This fiction has had some terrifying results.
A shuffling of the Fund's voting shares slashed Africa's already minimal decision-making power. While unfair, the move is just a symptom of what's wrong with the IMF.
Poverty reduction in sub-Saharan Africa won't come through a quick fix.
How about kicking UN peacekeeping up a notch? A rapid response unit is needed now more than ever.
Historic peace talks currently underway in Uganda are the best opportunity to end Africa's longest running war. Yet the Bush administration has been ambiguous about the U.S. position on the talks.
Is Somalia rapidly turning into this years Afghanistan, with the Islamic Courts in the role of the Taliban and Ethiopia as the unilateral invader?
Cut global poverty in half by 2015? Not with the current mix of debt relief, U.S. trade policy, bureaucratic inertia, and greedy brokers.
The recent announcement by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the United States will open an embassy in Libya was welcome news all around. Long overdue, the restoration of full diplomatic relations is a win-win situation for both Libya and the United States, as well as for other states in and out of the Middle East. The U.S. decision also marks a significant shift in the foreign policy of the Bush administration, a change most observers have overlooked.
The World Bank backed down in a dispute that illustrates what's wrong with lending to poor nations for oil and gas production.

On December 21, Calgary, Alberta, Canada-based metallers DIVINITY released "The Dead Speak From Beyond" on their official web site. The song comes from part 1 of their upcoming trilogy release, "The Immortalist Trilogy, Part 1 Awestruck".
"The Dead Speak From Beyond" is actually a PERICARDIUM cover song from the album "Anthems Of Anger", written by none other than the late Rob Doherty, who also played in INTO ETERNITY and FINAL DARKNESS. DIVINITY was first influenced by PERICARDIUM in the late '90s, after hearing "The Dead Speak From Beyond" on a radio show called "The Anvil" on CJSW in Calgary. The band went on to rent a rehearsal space that turned out to be next door to Rob and PERICARDIUM and finally met him and his band. After seeing PERICARDIUM play live, they were instant fans and played a gig together in 2001. They also shared the stage when Rob joined INTO ETERNITY in 2003.
As DIVINITY was beginning to create new music in 2012, they had learned about Rob's sudden passing and felt they had to do something to pay tribute to all the positive influence he had among the band. So it became obvious to make the song "The Dead Speak From Beyond" a DIVINITY song and keep the legacy of Rob Doherty and PERICARDIUM alive and strong.
DIVINITY's version of "The Dead Speak From Beyond":
Original PERICARDIUM recording of "The Dead Speak From Beyond":

Firewalls for the everyday
Not Just for Experts
Firewalls are becoming evermore sophisticated. Luckily, the tools for managing firewalls are becoming simpler and more accessible for ordinary users
Your computer lets you see the world, but you don't want the world to see you. Intruders are becoming more sophisticated, and it isn't enough anymore to hope they won't notice your inconspicuous workstation. If you're connected to the Internet, you'd better be behind some kind of firewall. Firewalls come in many sizes, shapes, prices, and designs. Interestingly enough, what used to be called a firewall is now only one of a wide range of security products. The traditional firewall is a form of router that resides in Layer 3 of the OSI reference model. Layer 3 is the layer of the stack that listens for the Internet Protocol, reads IP addresses, and makes decisions about where to route IP datagrams. A firewall additionally inspects the Layer 4 (TCP or UDP) headers to identify services and evaluate flags.

GLASSBORO – Glassboro officials and Rowan University representatives invite residents to a meeting on Wednesday, March 27 to discuss student code of conduct and related issues in residential areas.
The Glassboro/Rowan Good Neighbors Forum will take place in the courtroom in Borough Hall (1 South Main Street, Glassboro) at 5:30 p.m. and all are welcome to attend.
"Glassboro is committed to helping residents co-exist in neighborhoods with student renters. We need to hear about issues and challenges so that they can be properly addressed," said Glassboro Councilman Ed Malandro.
Malandro added that one tangible result of resident input has been enhanced police patrols in student residential neighborhoods. Eight part-time police officers now provide special patrols on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in a shared service agreement with Rowan University.
Additional Good Neighbors Forum meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, September 25 and Monday, November 18. All meetings take place in the courtroom in Borough Hall (1 South Main Street, Glassboro) at 5:30 p.m. and all are welcome to attend.
Glassboro residents are encouraged to email Borough Administrator Joe Brigandi at email@example.com at any time with issues related to Rowan student code of conduct in off-campus residences.

Preschool and Kindergarten Activities!
Good morning readers! I thought I'd do another update for our prek/kindergarten activities today! We're still plugging along with our combined preschool and kindergarten activities for my 5 year old and she's doing great. She's reviewing the Letter F and has a few added kindergarten level activities to help challenge her and get her ready for full kindergarten in August.

Kindergarten Activities
Good morning! I thought I'd do another update on the Teeny Tot for you all today. She's reviewing some of her favorite Letter of the Week activities, and we're slowly adding in more of the K4 Kindergarten activities to her day as well. This week she mostly worked on the Letter E games. Here she is with her completed elephant lacing card. I've had a lot of questions about laminating and printing on cardstock. And unless you're going to re-use your materials with future children, there's not much need to laminate and print everything on cardstock. But for the lacing card, it is important that it's somewhat durable. So if you're not reusing materials, I would say at least laminate this card if nothing else. She knows her colors quite well, but still enjoys doing these color matching puzzles. These are the elephant counting cards. She put them in numerical order, then counted out the correct amount of beads to go on each card. You … [Read more...]

Daily Homeschool Schedule: Preschool
I'm going to do a short series of posts titled 'Daily Homeschool Schedule' for you all. I've had countless questions about our homeschool schedule. And you can see a basic overview of our daily schedule here. But more specifically you've been asking questions about how long we do each subject, how many days per week, and what our day looks like hour by hour for each grade level. So for the next few weeks I'm going to share our schedule in a more detail by each grade level. Download a copy: Daily Schedule Prek – PDF Daily Schedule Prek – Word Doc (Editable) Today we'll be taking a closer look into the life of the Teeny Tot. She's currently 4 years old and doing preschool this year.

What's in the Workbox Wednesday: Preschool
Hi everyone! I have another What's in the Workbox Wednesday posts for you today. The Teeny Tot is actually on Letter X this week (see yesterday's post) but I took the pics for this post last week so they have letter W activities in them. The Teeny Tot is finishing up my Preschool letter of the Week. Then we're probably going to go through it again with some K4 Kindergarten mixed in as she's ready for it. She's still four so I don't want to do full Kindergarten with her just yet. So I'm going to slowly mix in K4 items as she's ready. Here is the list of her activities for the year. As you can see I really only put our Bible, Daily Learning Notebook, and Letter activities. The rest we do as a group so I don't keep them in her drawers.

But as she grew older, she realized she missed a sense of community.
"We wanted what we left -- a sense of people looking out for one another and supporting each other," Mitchell said.
It hasn't taken her long to find connections in her new position as executive director of the Center for Women In Transition.
Center for Women In Transition: aplaceforwomen.org.
Mitchell said she sees one of her primary roles as helping bring community resources together to help women and families affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse.
"I see an opportunity to bring a lot of programs together, so they're all connected," said Mitchell, 36, who came to Holland from the Washington-based American Public Human Services Association, a nationwide association of nonprofit agencies where she worked the past eight years, the final three as director of administrative services.
Mitchell takes over for Donna Cornwell, who stepped down as the CWIT's executive director in March after 11 years.
The nonprofit
Mitchell takes over an organization that has grown over the past decade to include an annual budget of about $2.4 million and provide more than 6,600 bed-nights of emergency shelter to women. She also brings a national perspective on domestic violence issues she gained through her work with the American Public Human Services Association.
"Domestic violence is a national issue. Sexual abuse is a national issue," she said. "Helping women have healthier relationships is something everyone agrees is important."
Maria Hoekstra, the president of CWIT's board of directors, says she was impressed by the energy Mitchell has brought to the position from her first day of work early this month.
"She has a plan that she delivers with passion," Hoekstra said of Mitchell. "That motivates and excites people and inspires (them)."
One specific area of concern for Mitchell is trying to improve transportation options for those dealing with a domestic violence situation. In many instances, she says, a lack of transportation keeps women from seeking the help they need to get out of an abusive situation.
"We need to find a way to make that connection for them," she said. "It is very difficult to imagine when a woman needs assistance, is in a crisis situation, that the only barrier is that she can't get there."
Mitchell hopes to leverage community connections to provide transportation assistance.
CWIT has seen some loss of funding in recent years from federal and state sources, which led the organization to eliminate a displaced homemaker program and lay off staff.
Mitchell says she hopes the organization can collaborate with other agencies to try to stretch funding resources further.
The daughter of educators, Mitchell's father teaches physical science at Kellogg Community College and her mother works at an elementary school in Battle Creek.
Mitchell began her professional work at George Washington University's Center for Excellence in Management, helping that organization provide educational opportunities for local government leaders in Washington.
She was instrumental in securing $1.5 million in funding for the center and helped it secure national accreditation, said Mary Louise Avery, the Center for Women In Transition's development director.
From there, she went to APHSA, where she worked on management and leadership development before eventually working her way into the administrative services position, where she worked on technology and human resource issues.
Still, there was a desire to serve for Mitchell and to work closer with people in need.
"I could have gone to a for-profit organization, but it wouldn't have spoken to my heart the way it needed to," Mitchell said.
It was Mitchell's husband, Cory, who spotted an advertisement on the CWIT opening. The couple had been planning to relocate to West Michigan, with Cory planning to start law school next year.
Charisse Mitchell
The new executive director for the Center for Women In Transition took over the nonprofit agency earlier this month:
Age: 36
Experience: American Public Human Services Association, 2000-08, in a variety of positions, the past three years as director of administrative services; Center for Excellence in Management, George Washington University, 1996-2000.
Education: Battle Creek Central High School, 1990; B.A. in political science, George Washington University, 1994; master's in public administration, George Washington University, 1996.
Family: Husband, Cory, and a 2-year-old son, Julian.

New Orleans Jesters starting goalkeeper Juan Robles left the game with a concussion in the second half against the Mississippi Brilla on Saturday with the score tied 1-1, giving 16-year-old Andrew Tarbell a chance to keep the game within reach.
Less than five minutes later, Mississippi took advantage of the injury by scoring two goals in two minutes, propelling the Brilla to a 3-2 victory against the Jesters in a Premier Development League game at Pan American Stadium.
Jesters Coach Kenny Farrell said it came down to the Jesters' poor defending down the stretch.
"I don't know how to explain those two goals," Farrell said. "They were really just two balls that slipped through to the back post. They were bad goals to give away."
The goals against the Jesters came in the 72nd and 73rd minutes, not too long after Mississippi midfielder Nick Rich tied the score with a goal in the 67th minute, clearly shifting the momentum toward the Brilla.
Robles did not return after his injury, and he will be day-to-day.
Tarbell said he concentrated on quelling his nerves when he entered the game in the crucial situation, trying to avenge the Brilla's earlier 5-0 defeat of the Jesters in the season opener May 11.
"Juan got hit in the head pretty hard, so we had to make a change, and it's my job to come on and be ready as the No. 2 guy," Tarbell said. "I was mentally ready the whole game, but it's pretty numbing. You have to put it out of your mind because your nerves can really get going."
After Mississippi's two quick scores against him, Tarbell said his main focus was keeping the team strong and calm in a high-pressure situation.
"I had to keep my head held high and keep going for the rest of the game," he said. "We had a chance to come back, so I had to keep motivating everyone no matter what happened."
The Jesters started off quickly in the first half with a goal by midfielder Ederson Lopes in the 16th minute, but they did not score again until the 76th minute on a goal by midfielder Carl Reynolds when the Brilla were ahead, 3-1.
Lopes said the Jesters' strategy was to immediately put the Brilla on the defensive with a quick score. While they achieved that goal, Lopes added that the Jesters relaxed too much, enabling the Brilla to come back.
"We knew we had to win this game so we decided we were going to press them ... so we could relax for a little bit and focus on passing the ball," Lopes said. "But we gave them life with their two goals, and it was hard to get up and fight against that. I'm so upset in this moment because I know we were the best team on the field."
Farrell called the Jesters' first-half performance "almost perfect," adding New Orleans could easily have had two or three goals.
"It wasn't the replacement (of Robles)," Farrell said. "We took control again for about 10 or 15 minutes after that, but it was too late. They had won the game already.
"We looked like we couldn't do anything for about a five-minute period. We have to go back to basics."
The Jesters have three more home games to close the regular season, beginning Friday against the Atlanta Blackhawks.

Anger over Simcha date clash with Hackney Limmud
A clash over dates led to a behind-the-scenes row between Simcha on the Square organisers and Hackney Limmud, an event held for the first time this year.
Both events were held on Sunday. But the Hackney group said they had selected the date first about 18 months ago and put it on the communal calendar run by the Board of Deputies. Simcha on the Square, meanwhile, initially chose the same day, moved to a date in October and then changed back again to September 14.
One Hackney Limmud organiser said: "We were very happy when they moved their date. But when they changed their minds again, they didn't bother to tell us. Even if they didn't know the first time, by then they knew what date we had booked because some people, who wanted to take part in our day, told us they had booked for Simcha as well.
"That caused us all sorts of organisational problems. We had to change our running order because some of our musical performers had to go to Simcha in the afternoon, so we had to schedule them in the morning. We tried to produce a balanced programme across the day but that made it very difficult. It created a scheduling nightmare.
"We're a charitable bunch of people, so at first we said it must be a mistake that they chose the same day, and we'll just have to cope with it. It was just a ghastly coincidence and we were very relieved when they moved to a date in October.
"But then they moved it back and a lot of people were really upset with them. It forced some people to make a choice."
In response, Geraldine Auerbach, the festival's director, said: "Simcha on the Square is offered dates by the GLA to fit in with their very busy schedules and other events on the square.
"It took a while this year for the new mayor to settle in and for us to hear if the event would go ahead. When it was finally confirmed, the date of September 14 was the only date possible. We are sorry about the clash with Limmud.
"We hope that each event added something special to the cultural vibrancy of London."

Dialogues and Triumvirate OS page Edit
Hiya! I saw your conversation with OfficialJagex Twitter page:
Nice work! Do you plan to announce this in a Yew Grove, or on the RfD or something?
2nd point is about the Triumvirate OS page. I think it'd be best to have a few separate pages. An info page (RuneScape:Off-site/Triumvirate) for information about how we interact with the triumvirate thing, a discussion page (RuneScape talk:Off-site/Triumvirate) for discussing how we use the feature and new events and a members page (RuneScape:Off-site/Triumvirate/Members) for keeping track of the members that have been added to the team and for new ones to add their name. I think the members list will get fairly long soon enough, so would be better linked to on a separate page. But these are all just suggestions; it's totally up to you how to change it. Cheers, Chicken7 >talk 12:34, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'll work on that. A few of them already have "switch" variables but I don't think they are documented anywhere so I'll put up a new project page for it. --Quarenon Talk 03:54, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Welcomenotice Class Edit
Hi, Tedjuh. You told everyone to add class="welcomenotice" to any personal welcome template they may have. Unfortunately, that made my welcome template look terrible, so I changed it to class="custom-welcomenotice". I suggest you ask everyone to do that instead so they don't get the same result, but you should still be able to do what you intended. Thanks. Stelercus 22:01, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Namespaces Edit
Hi Mark, I was wondering if Wikia would be willing to raise the maximum number of allotted namespaces for the RSW. We're thinking of starting a thread to create a Charm log namespace that would be protected in some way, to prevent vandalism. The idea was approved in Forum:Preventing charm log vandalism, but we've come across a few implementation issues. Currently, our two custom namespaces are Exchange and Update. If raising the limit is not allowed, we are willing to remove some of our current namespaces, such as Forum talk, Exchange talk, and Update talk to clear up room for the new namespace. Thanks, --LiquidTalk 00:40, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
Logo mogul EditHello there, here you stated that File:Wiki-wordmark.png now had the old File:Wiki wide.png from the Quartz skin uploaded in its place, however, the Sword logo is showing still. Wondering if you accidentally reverted the image or if the servers are being wonky again. (Keeping in mind that the File:Wiki wide.png is the only beta-functioning logo we have left that's been confirmed by consensus).--
- Would deleting File:Wiki-wordmark.png and uploading the file from File:Wiki-wide.png over it work? --Iiii I I I 18:46, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
Wiki-wordmark.png Edit
Did you just scale down File:Wiki wide.png? I made a trimmed version that is the required size here, it is scaled but just a little and the current version is a little blurry from the scaling. Upload pl0x? Evil1888 Talk A's L 21:40, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Logo and skin Edit
Hi Mark, when the (unfortunate) transfer to Oasis takes place in three days, we'll need a temporary logo and skin in place until we can pick new ones. The only logo that's approved by consensus and fits in the new size requirements is File:Wiki wide.png, so that's the one we must use. As for the skin, we really don't have one approved, so we'll need to use the default. Does Oasis have some kind of default skin that's similar (in color scheme) to Monaco Sapphire? If so, that's our best bet until some kind of meaningful discussion takes place about a new skin. Thanks, --LiquidTalk 15:09, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

I undid your edit to the main page. The Wiki News section transcludes the contents of the site notice, and it appears at the top, right under the Contents section.

Twitter Edit
Hey, I was wondering if I could get access to the wiki's twitter account? I noticed it doesn't get used much and I want to try and get it more known and used, partly by advertising each ET event. I haven't used twitter before so I was hoping you could also run me through the basics of how to use CoTweet. Thanks. Sentra246 05:53, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Facebook & Twitter Edit
Hey Mark. I was wondering if I could have access to the wiki's Facebook and Twitter accounts. As many have noted, the accounts are quite inactive, but, I want to help change that. I detailed some stuff here about it. I also use both Facebook and Twitter myself personally, so I know my way around the sites. I'm not sure if the function for users to email me is on, but I'll make sure to have it on in case you need to contact me. Thank you for your time. Matt (t) 21:13, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

quick question Edit
About the conversation we had in IRC, you mentioned one kind of questions that can't be answered in articles, which was questions like "I got these stats, is it enough to kill <boss monster>". There is actually a solution to that, which is talk pages of articles, which is even better than an answers site, because you can link to your stats there, and not on the answers site. And if talk pages won't get enough comments then, we could advertise the RC for it a bit more, or something. Just something I thought of. JOEYTJE50TALK pull my finger 23:44, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Talk page stalker Talk pages are by no stretch of the imagination better than an easy to use answer site. Talk pages are hard to find and hard to use for new users. ajr 00:25, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
- And 99.99% doesn't know of the answers site either. If we/Wikia would advertise talk pages instead of the answers site, we are atleast able to "moderate" it ourselves, which is atleast something better than this. This is not something I am suggesting to have on the rail, and not trying to convince you either, just asking what you thought of talk pages and saying it's maybe not a very good idea to promote the answers site above talk pages.

Linking facebook and twitter Edit

- I tried that and got a message saying "To access this page, you'll need to switch from using Facebook as your page to using Facebook as yourself." Any idea what to do? Sentra246 13:04, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
- I have done that, and it lets you send your posts on facebook, and turns them into tweets. So the way it's going, I don't think we can post tweets on facebook. Sentra246 00:43, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Now that the Blazers have won the lottery (and everyone else has lost!) the preliminary mock drafts are starting to roll in. To hear Barrett, Rice and Wheels tell it, Greg Oden should start looking for a place in West Linn. But those putting together the preliminary mock drafts aren't so sure.
1. Portland - How funny is this - the Blazers already have roster full of centers. There's a legit decision to make here - you've got Aldridge and Randolph at the 4 and 5 ... and really, Kevin Durant makes a ton of sense at the three, where you have nobody. I think they'll take Durant or trade the pick.
Dan Shanoff (commenting on Deadspin):
9:10 p.m.: I already regret a good 2/3 of the picks I made below in my preposterously premature mock draft. Look, does it even matter beyond Blazers and Sonics? Here's the real question: The immediate mainstream media reaction was that Oden was a lock to Portland. I think it's going to get MUCH more debatable than that.
9:07 p.m.: OK, so here's the very first -- and most preposterously premature -- mock draft of the post-Lottery Era, at least the first 10 picks:
1. Blazers: Greg Oden
2. Sonics: Kevin Durant
3. Hawks: Mike Conley Jr.
4. Grizzlies: Yi Jianlian
5. Celtics: Corey Brewer
6. Bucks: Al Horford
7. T'wolves: Brandan Wright
8. Bobcats: Julian Wright
9. Bulls: Roy Hibbert
10. Kings: Joakim Noah
1. PortlandTrail Blazers
Greg Oden 7-0 C Ohio State / Freshman
An extremely naturally talented 7-foot man-child with an NBA body, excellent athleticism and game-changing defensive ability. His maturity, work ethic and attitude only increase his likelihood to reach his incredibly high ceiling. Will need to improve on his mechanical offensive skills. He doesn't always show the nastiness to dominate his opponents. Finished off the season with an incredible performance in the championship game of the NCAA Tournament, vaulting himself back into the No. 1 spot.

GW Golf Caps A-10 Prep With Greenbrier Collegiate Invite
Colonials to Play at Site of PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic
April 10, 2014
Old White TPC Course at Greenbrier
WASHINGTON - GW golf heads to White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., for the Greenbrier Collegiate Invitational on April 14-15 for its final tournament before the 2014 Atlantic 10 Championship.
GW will be part of a seven-team field consisting of dual hosts Bowling Green and Marshall along with Loyola University Chicago, Old Dominion, St. Bonaventure and William & Mary. The Colonials will send senior Benton Kircher, junior Jack Persons, sophomore Michael Helton and freshmen Lucas Farmer and Michael Heda to compete as a team, while sophomore Carlos Pena will play as an individual.
The 54-hole event, with 36 holes on Monday and the final 18 on Tuesday, will be played on the par-70, 6,900-yard Old White TPC at the Greenbrier, the same course that will host the PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic over July 4th weekend.
GW is coming off its best finish of the season with a tie for sixth out of 22 teams at the Whiting-Turner Towson Invitational on April 1. Persons and Heda both finished strong in the event's final round to post their team-best second top-20 finishes of the season.
After completing the Greenbrier, the Colonials will have just under two weeks to prepare for the 2014 A-10 Championship at the TPC Tampa Bay in Lutz, Fla., April 25-27.
GW will host an Alumni Reception and Clinic at TPC Tampa Bay from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, the day before the Colonials begin the A-10 Championship. Click here for additional event details.

Saturday's lineups: Tigers vs. Mariners
Though Rajai Davis has respectable numbers off Felix Hernandez at 4-for-14, Brad Ausmus is going to give Ezequiel Carrera an opportunity. He'll bat second, with Ian Kinsler moving up to leadoff for the night.
"I don't want to put too much of a magnifying glass on Carrera hitting leadoff right now," said Ausmus.
Most of the Tigers numbers off Hernandez aren't as bad as you'd think, though the power numbers are very limited.
TIGERS (career numbers off Felix Hernandez)
- Ian Kinsler, 2B (19-for-77, 3 doubles, 4 HR, 11 walks, 11 K's)
- Ezequiel Carrera, CF (1-for-5, 2 walks, 3 K's)
- Miguel Cabrera, DH (10-for-24, 2 doubles, 3 walks, 4 K's)
- Victor Martinez, 1B (6-for-21, HR, 4 walks, K)
- Torii Hunter, RF (23-for-72, 3 doubles, 4 walks, 20 K's)
- J.D. Martinez, LF
- Nick Castellanos, 3B
- Alex Avila, C (3-for-11, 4 K's)
- Eugenio Suarez, SS
Max Scherzer David Price
MARINERS (career numbers against Price)
- Austin Jackson, CF (3-for-17, double, 10 K's)
- Dustin Ackley, LF (2-for-5, double, walk, 3 K's)
- Robinson Cano, 2B (18-for-64, 3 doubles, triple, HR, 3 walks, 7 K's)
- Kendrys Morales, DH (3-for-12, 3 K's)
- Chris Denorfia, RF
- Kyle Seager, 3B (0-for-8, 2 K's)
- Mike Zunino, C (1-for-7, double, 6 K's)
- Logan Morrison, 1B (1-for-3, double, K)
- Chris Taylor, SS

Traffic/parking note for tonight's Tigers game
Between a sellout crowd at Comerica Park for tonight's game, a huge crowd across the street at Ford Field for tonight's One Direction concert, and the road closures on Woodward, expect traffic chaos downtown tonight — and that doesn't include Woodward Dream Cruise traffic if you're in the northern suburbs.
The Comerica Park operations people sent out an advisory via their twitter account today. The Olympia-owned parking lots and garages on the east side of Woodward are being reserved for people going to the Tigers game. To get in, you'll need either a parking pass or proof of your ticket to the game. On the west side of Woodward, the lots and garages are open to everybody on a first-come, first-served basis.
There are plenty of other parking lots available downtown, but keep in mind that the Grand Circus stop on the People Mover is closed for renovation. That makes Broadway the closest stop to the ballpark.
The most basic advice is to give yourself as much time as possible, and bring your patience. Also, have your maps app handy on your phone. Depending on how many streets are closed, it might come in handy.

Pizza goes posh
The homely pizza has gone gourmet. The toppings range from Lobster Thermidor and black Alaskan cod to aubergine and pancetta.
The easiest dinner choice when you are glued to the TV or need a shot of carb-laden cheesy goodness has turned gourmet. For those with a more discerning palate, the good ol' spicy chicken pizza now has competition in new flavours such as asparagus, artichokes, aubergines and okra. Yes, okra on a pizza.
The past few months have seen international pizzerias set up shop in Indian metros and they have brought with them thinner crusts, better-tasting cheese and exotic toppings. Pizza Metro Pizza, which has its flagship restaurant in London as does Pizza Pizza Express have opened up in Mumbai whereas the favourite pizzeria of Hollywood stars - they are frequent visitors to the eatery around the world - Ciro's Pomodoro calls Delhi home. These pizzerias promise the quintessential Italian pizza experience by working with the finest Italian flour, freshest produce, imported meats and Italian chefs calling the shots in the kitchen.
Pizza was born as a food for the poor but the gourmet pizza was created for the privileged. It's a trend that has spread far and wide. From Italy to Chicago to even Delhi, chefs are now attempting to toss shrimp, caviar and even potato on pizzas. There's no Cheddar-chewiness;in place, you have ricotta and bocconcini. Instead of cola, you have the option to sip a cool Chianti.
Pizza Metro Pizza offers 24 different pizza combinations along with a wine list. Apart from the ubiquitous Margherita, there's one with aubergine and pancetta, another one with rocket and ham and one with even okra and green chilies. Sam Melde, the Indian franchisee of the London pizzeria, says that no compromise was made for Indian tastes when it came to planning the menu. "We didn't make any customisations. What you see here is what you would get to eat at the Battersea branch in London. But we have adapted one pizza to local needs, keeping in mind that most Indians are vegetarians, " Melde says. "Also some ingredients are difficult to source in India so some recipes have been finetuned but there really isn't any difference in flavour as such. "
Ciro's Pomodoro has on its menu Sharon Stone's favourite pizza as well as Sophia Lauren's and Clint Eastwood's. It has now made place for Jackie Shroff's pizza of choice as well, with asparagus, pesto and peppers. Amit Manchanda, who ended up opening the franchise in Delhi after a late-night dinner conversation with owner Ciro in London last year, had to bow to the Delhiite's demands. "A person in Delhi can't eat out without having some familiar tastes so we have the Chicken Tikka pizza. Also, Indians prefer a slightly more thin crust than they have in Naples, " he says.
There are other little allowances that Manchanda and his Italian chef Raffaele del Re make for their Indian customers, like the parma ham pizza Prosciutto which is ideally supposed to be served at room temperature but is served hot due to the customer's insistence, or ignorance.
A gourmet pizza was conceived with the belief that less is better. But how does the simple mozzarella, tomato and basil piece achieve gourmet status? One way is by using the finest quality ingredients. This, of course, pushes up prices and moves the homely pizza into the gourmet category even if at the end of the day it remains an oven-baked, flat, round bread with tomato sauce on it.
An average meal for two with a glass of wine or beer is likely to set you back by Rs 3, 000 at Pizza Metro Pizza but Melde feels that for the quality of the food being served, this is par for the course. "India is a long way from Italy and we import a lot of our ingredients - from flour to tomatoes to olives and olive oil, meats and cheeses, and we give you a great ambience, something that Pizza Hut and Dominos never can, " says Melde. Ciro's recently underwent a price correction as most diners felt that paying more than Rs 600 for a pizza felt steep. "I am not feeding them dough. I'm giving them the best cheese and the best meat but customer is king, " Manchanda shrugs.
If artichokes and asparagus and the best ricotta or boccocini on your pizza just doesn't cut it, there are always the uber expensive pizzas that pack in some crazy flavours at a crazy price. A Vancouver restaurant offered its customers a $437 (Rs 24, 000) 12-inch pie topped with Lobster Thermidor, black Alaskan cod and Russian Osetra caviar instead of your average pepperoni. Taking its inspiration from that, probably, The Qube, the all-day dining coffee shop at The Leela, gave Delhi its most expensive pizza.
Created by chef Glen Eastman and sous chef Karan Suri to be the talk of town, the High Life - that's what it's called - is a wood-fired pizza topped with Canadian lobster and thyme-scented mascarpone cheese and finished off with a sprinkling of "28 grams" of rare Iranian Beluga caviar.
Chef Sabyasachi Gorai or Chef Saby, as he's popularly known, whips up delicacies at The Olive in New Delhi. His open-toview wood fired pizzas with chicken and asparagus or spinach, walnuts and goat cheese, are popular orders. He remembers the time when no Italian restaurant worth its name would serve pizzas. "When I started working at an upscale Italian restaurant in Juhu, we took pride in not serving pizzas. Pizzerias serve pizza, not restaurants. And there was this restaurant called Little Italy that sold the typical Indianised Italian fare: pizzas with extra cheese, pasta in pink sauce. They would have 200 covers and we would get 40. Now all Italian restaurants serve pizzas, " he recalls.
The current crop of Italian restaurants may have dressed up the pizza but chef Saby believes that gourmet isn't always better. "The easier toppings always sell more."
