Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
I have a question. Please Help...
I have just tried the recipe, somehow its not sweet. I had to add a bit of sugar to get it anywhere near the taste of Korma. Could it be that I added too much water to *just* cover the chicken? Where does the sweetness of the Korma come from anyway in the recipe? Is it the creamed coconut? I did use it, 80g to be exact. I love Korma, but now left a little dissappointment.
Thanks in advance...

Re: Chicken Korma Recipe EVER!
Sweetness of a curry usually comes from the onions, sweated slowly in butter or ghee for aprox 20 minutes at the beginning of some curry recipes... and yes from coconut too.

text: Today, I was in Rochester Minnesota giving a "Life in the NBA" talk at Rochester Athletic Club. I can't remember how many times people asked me if Kevin Garnett was going to get traded, but it was a lot. I really think that there is not going to be any trades involving Kevin Garnett. I sure hope not. I know for a fact that Kevin loves Minnesota and he likes the guys in the locker room. But I'm also aware the realities of professional sports and that from a business standpoint, anything can happen to anyone. The thing about Kevin is that he makes everyone around him better. Three years ago, Sam Cassell had an all-star season, Sprewell had a great year and many other guys on our roster had career years. When you have someone like Kevin Garnett on your team, everyone is going to benefit.

Best Professional Sales Aid
Ogilvy Healthworld and Allergan
2009 Sanctura XR Passport
Allergan made great use of customer insights and attention-grabbing design with this professional sales aid for Sanctura XR, offering docs the promise of helping patients with overactive bladder move about more freely. Aimed at urologists and OB/GYNs as well as primary care physicians, the sales aid's passport theme alludes to the way in which the disease hinders sufferers' movements outside the home, forcing them to limit their activities for fear of accidents and to cope through "bathroom mapping," scoping out restroom locations before leaving the house. Physicians have found the pharmacopeia to be tricky, forcing them to make big trade-offs of safety and tolerability for efficacy.
With its bold design and straightforward messaging by Ogilvy Healthworld, the 2009 Passport campaign was intended to bust through the clutter and re-engage physicians, communicating the message that Sanctura XR delivers efficacy along with safety and tolerability to treat a disease affecting an estimated 10%-15% of adult women. The sales aid, clad in a Sanctura XR-orange "leatheret" textured cover embossed with a gold foil seal, urges docs to "take your patients to great destinations" with the drug, driving home the safety-tolerability-efficacy message with repeated visual elements including stamps and tabs while stressing 24 hour, night-and-day coverage, minimal CNS side effects and a low incidence of dry mouth in the copy. The travel motif effectively imparts the drug's potential to liberate patients from becoming shut-ins or obsessing over restroom locations before setting out on even mundane errands. Looks like Allergan got their money's worth for this standout, yet reasonably priced, sales aid.
Reps love it. Physicians have responded to it. So did our judges, one of whom praised the sales aid for its unique creative and clarity of theme. Judges agreed that this low-budget, multichannel, highly targeted campaign was "refreshing."
KFDunn Life Sciences and B. Braun Medical
B. Braun Introcan Sharps Container
An eye-catching sharps box-shaped professional sales aid from B. Braun Medical stuck with the judges. The sales aid, aimed at infection control practitioners to persuade them that the only way to guard against needlestick injuries and ensure that needle tips are protected is to use an automatic device like B. Braun Medical's Introcan Safety IV Catheter. The piece, by KFDunn Life Sciences, asks: "Think your safety devices are being activated? Think again." Judges praised its "simple but compelling visual" and "innovative design."

El Paso toll road tags no longer sold at payday lender, Ace Cash Express
EL PASO, Texas - The Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority (CRRMA) voted unanimously on Wednesday morning to stop selling toll tags for the new Loop 375 toll lanes at ACE Cash Express stores in El Paso.
Instead, the tags will soon be sold at the City of El Paso's one-stop-shop facility at 811 Texas Ave. in Downtown El Paso. The one-stop-shop is a city facility that allows residents to pay for several permits in one place.
The decision to end the sale of tags at ACE stemmed from community feedback from people who are concerned payday lenders provide predatory lending and take advantage of the poor.
"This is a community driven entity. We are all - the board members are all El Pasoans, they're invested in this community and they're invested in doing what's best for the community," said Raymond Telles, the CRRMA's Executive Director.
ACE representatives have told ABC-7 the company provides necessary cash to people who don't qualify for conventional loans.
An Ace representative asked the CRRMA board to reconsider selling the tags only at the city's building downtown instead of the Ace stores around the city. "You've got traffic issues, you've got parking issues. We offer convenient locations - community based that allow your residents to get a toll tag. The convenience of this cannot be underestimated."
Telles said he's going to research other locations in different parts of the city where the tags can be sold - possibly in City or County facilities.
The CRRMA partnered with the North Texas Tollway Authority to sell the tags online, on the phone, through the mail and in person. The NTTA had an existing partnership with ACE Cash Express in North Texas, hence the CRRMA's initial decision to sell the tags at ACE as well.
The CRRMA is not equipped to sell toll tags on its own because it has a staff of one: Telles. The CRRMA will keep the online, phone and mail component provided by the NTTA.
Telles said he's also going to research the cost and logistics of providing an exemption to disabled veterans and Purple Heart and Medal of Honor recipients who use the toll lanes so they won't have to pay. He should have more information by the February meeting, Telles said.

The worst inequality is that which traps people inter-generationally. It is so unfair to see children stuck with low aspirations or expectancy of a better life because of their pedigree or whakapapa.
The social status or the life choices of one generation should not confine or relegate to low achievement those who follow them.
Thankfully that inequality is not as prevalent as politicians on the left want to make out.
An Otago University study I have seen reported that of those in the bottom 10 per cent of income in 2002, only 25 per cent were still in that bottom 10 per cent by 2009. This tells me that, over time, most people are able to work their way out of hard times. However, if we're to help that other 25 per cent, then education is the key.
I have been in many schools recently across the electorate, including the 125th anniversary at Matapu and the 100th at St Mary's Stratford. Both are great educational institutions that have left a proud legacy of citizenship and achievement.
Education is the answer to almost everything - whether it is the most basic test in primary school or the competing interests of macro-economic or social policy. We can teach a person to drive a forklift, but we can't expect them to get the right pallet on the right truck if they can't read. Kids can't dream big and aspire to do better if they don't know what is on life's menu.
Our kids also face the hurdle that when times do get tough they impact on youth harder than others - young people not in education, employment or work is around 11.3 per cent, against an adult unemployment rate of 6 per cent. While this is better than it's been since the start of the global financial crisis, it still illustrates the challenge young people looking to make a better life for themselves than their parents had to face at that very first step. So it is on these young people we need to concentrate our effort.
National has big aspirations for our children, their children and our future as a country, and so it set targets for learning. We had a few scraps along the way but we are seeing results.
The percentage of kids leaving high school with NCEA level two is up 10.3 per cent since 2008 to 76.8 per cent. Yet we're not done there, having set ourselves the goal of 85 per cent by 2017. It is one of the 10 targets for Better Public Services which are focusing the mind of this government with other goals such as reducing crime and raising health results.
Children are doing better in education at the moment, and so we make no apology for setting targets and focusing the sector. Some will say it is teaching to the test, or happening in spite of government leadership, but the obvious point is that these gains don't just happen by throwing money at the problem. We have to care enough to intervene child by child, and this is across the social sector in health, welfare, education, and justice.
There are 5 per cent of people who experience about 80 per cent of the negative social conditions and so are most exposed to crime, ill-health, poor housing, and so are the most vulnerable in society. Preventing this spread of vulnerability across generations is the chief goal of John Key and the National Government.
Inequality will be a big issue this election. With these positive indicators coming through, I guess we can say, "bring it on".

I took a Beginner Class at LQS and was most disappointed. I was up front from the beginning that I had sewn for years but quilting was totally different for me. The only instruction I got was correction when I was doing something wrong. Was not a pleasant experience whatsoever. I won't take any more classes from this shop, but will look for other classes/instructors.
I'm pretty good at following directions since I taught myself to knit, crochet, needlepoint and cross stitch. One class that I took and learned a lot was english smocking.
I had several opportunities to each English Smocking later and was careful to give my "students" the total picture, from chosing fabric to completing the finished piece.
I just happen to be one of those persons (people?) that needs to know the whole picture,why we chose this fabric,thread,method....
I haven't had an opportunity to take name brand classes but at this point in my new quilting life am I ready for advanced instructors....still working on basics.

BUDAPEST, May 29 (Xinhua) -- Former Hungarian President, Ferenc Madl, died on Sunday at the age of 80.
Hungarian President Pal Schmitt expressed his deep pain at news of Madl's death, the presidential office said in a statement. Schmitt personally expressed his condolences to Madl's family, the statement said.
"We are shocked to hear the news. May he rest in peace," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote on his Facebook page.
Madl's life and work in service of the nation and the country stands as an example to them all, said the governing Fidesz party in a statement.
The leader of Hungary's main opposition Socialist party, Attila Mesterhazy said in a statement that the nation would preserve the memory of Madl in its heart.
Madl was born on Veszprem on Jan. 29, 1931. He graduated in 1955 in the public-administration and law faculty of Budapest's ELTE university before completing a law degree in Strasbourg between 1961 and 1963. He was nominated to the presidency by the center-right Fidesz party in June 2000, and assumed office on Aug. 4. He served as president of Hungry between 2000 and 2005. He was recognized abroad as a legal scholar.

The U.S. 50 project involves construction of a highway bypass around the city of North Vernon in Jennings County. The western half of the project, now under construction, consists of a new two-lane roadway connection from U.S. 50 near C.R. 400 W north and east to S.R. 3, on the north side of North Vernon. The approximate length of this roadway is 4.5 miles. The new bypass will reduce congestion along U.S. 50 and S.R. 3/SR 7 through and around North Vernon; improve safety for both truck and passenger vehicles through and around North Vernon; provide an efficient transportation link between the existing and growing industrial area on the north side of North Vernon to U.S. 50; and support state and local transportation planning.
There are four core problems that the U.S. 50 West project will address. They are:
Besides these four driving factors, the alternatives were judged on how well they met the following non-transportation goals:
As the U.S. 50 Corridor and North Vernon Bypass plans move forward, the following general timetable of activities was formulated for the West portion of the project:

This is a discussion on AK - bolt hold-open mod: Reference Section within the Reference & "How To" Forum forums, part of the Related Topics category; I expect some folks may have done this already but - on discussing with Ben Hennesy, he thought it might be worth a thread for ...
I expect some folks may have done this already but - on discussing with Ben Hennesy, he thought it might be worth a thread for those who may have considered, but not done it. So here is a starter suggestion.
The ideas is of course simple ....... create a notch in the safety so that when safety engaged the lever also, with it's new notch ... holds the bolt open by snagging the handle.
Now - this is in a sense not quite complete because I need to modify mine a bit further, as the hold is not secure as I want - but I'll show the pics to give the main idea and then describe what I need to do to improve it.
First - mark with a sharpie where the lever lines up with bolt 99% to rear. Then using a Dremmel and fine cutting disk or small grinding deal - remove bit by bit until you match the bolt handle profile.
This should leave you seeing the engaged position looking like this pic .........
And another view ........
Now for what needs done yet - notice, the bolt handle has a radius at it's lower inner edge ... and while I matched that with my grinding, it leaves a rather insecure hold - the radius allowing for the safety lever to ride down and off if disturbed too much ... resulting in bolt slamming home.
My intended correction will be to make the front vertical portion of the safety lever notch become just a smidgeon rearward sloping ... plus possibly a very small tweak to the profile of the bolt handle. The result required is to have a less easy release until actually wanted.
Probably I will buy a new spare safety and work on that ... and when and if I get it done will post some more on it. It should be easy to see tho that the basic approach is dead simple.

UK plans to monitor phone calls, emails, texts
A 10 Downing Street spokesman said that data communication was used in 95 per cent of all serious crime and terrorism cases.
London: David Cameron government's plans to enact legislation to allow officials to monitor phone calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK have provoked a welter of protest amidst accusations of bringing in 'Big Brother'-style governance.
The Home Office believes that such powers are necessary to deal with crime and terrorism.
Opposition to the plans likely to be outlined in the Queen's Speech in May has come in from inside and outside the ruling coalition, including civil liberties groups.
If the plans are enshrined in law, Internet service providers will be required to give intelligence agency GCHQ access to communications in real time, which critics likened to state intrusion in China or Iran.
A 10 Downing Street spokesman said that data communication was used in 95 per cent of all serious crime and terrorism cases and "what we do need to make sure is that as technology changes we are able to maintain our current capability in this area".
Criticising the plan, senior Conservative leader David Davis said the plans will make existing surveillance legislation "60 million times worse". The new powers risked causing enormous resentment by allowing "unfettered" access to all forms of communication.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "I am totally opposed to the idea of governments reading people's emails at will or creating a new central government database. The point is we are not doing any of that and I wouldn't allow us to do any of that".
He added: "All we are doing is updating the rules which currently apply to mobile telephone calls to allow the police and security services to go after terrorists and serious criminals and updating that to apply to technology like Skype which is increasingly being used by people who want to make those calls and send those emails."

reviving fruit trees?
39 Attachment(s)
im buying a house that has an overgrown lot. But i have found 5 fruit trees on the property.
2 giant cherry trees with about 5 cherries on one of them
1 small cherry tree with 1 cherry on it
1 tiny apple tree with a few tiny apples
and a plum tree with lots of plums
is there a way to get these things to produce lots of fruit? I think the birds might have got some of the cherries, because the ones i had seen disappeared, anything i can do about them?
Prune- after the fruiting season is over. get someone who knows what they're doing. They can also check for pests/diseases.
As far as the birds are concerned-learn to share.

How to Sleep Better with Feng Shui
We all lead stressful lives these days and most of us wonder how to sleep better.
However, not many people give much thought to the layout of the bedroom, and more specifically, how that affects the energy in the room. Feng Shui can help address some of these sleep problems, as well as provide you with a sense of general well being.
We spoke to Master Sarah McAllister, of the Feng Shui Agency, to come up with a guide that's easy to understand and even easier to put into practice.

This company is the company to go to if you are a criminal and looking to extort people out of money... All you need to do is get a illegally obtained default judgement and this company will simply do the rest of your dirty work. They will take over your dirty work and ruin the innocent persons life for you.
They will NOT help the innocent person out by doing simple research and find out if the person was ever served noticed of the court judgement they got. They will tell the innocent person on the phone that "the burden" is on the innocent person and not them.
Even after telling them that their client is a con artist and they are representing a criminal, they still do not care...
So... Why not use the same tactics on them???
My next course of action is to get a small claims court case started against this company. When they fail to show up to court (since they are so many states away) and I get a defualt judgement against this collection company... Well, then I turn it over to a collection company that will collect from this bogus collection company... BAM! I am getting paid...

|I had NO idea what to put as the source lol xD;
I've always wanted to do an Avril cosplay...I love her style, I apparently look like her :P, and she is my idol<3 i love Avril ^_^ I always have done since she first appeared as a rock star! It's funny, I think she was 17 when she was discovered, and i'm that age now! xD I was only around 10 at that time :'3
So what made me choose this outfit?
This is pretty much my favourite one. I love that top, I want it myself xD i wish i could buy her Abbey Dawn clothes! D8 When I visit Japan, I will visit her shop thar, deffo ;D!
I'll prolly have to make most of this but, i don't care :P I will do it!
Now, getting this kind of her hair is going to be hard, considering all i can find is her modern day hairstyle.
If anyone finds a wig I could use, I love you :P gunna have a look around~ might have to add extensions to a wig or something. I'd use my hair, but, it isn't exactly accurate Dx! Wrong shade of blonde. Mine's dark and her's /was/ dirty. ^^
Might do other variations too ^_^

San Jose coach Todd McLellan is one of those pleasing truth tellers, which accounts for his soaring popularity among the players, even when things are just drifting along, as they are for his Sharks' team in the early going.
And so when McLellan is asked about his team's two-headed goalie monster - the sound-alike Finns, Antti Niemi and Antero Nittymaki - he is blunt about his plans, such as they are.
"I really don't have a plan, to tell you the truth," said McLellan. Okay, that stopped me in my tracks for a moment, or until he had a chance to go on. "We're going to play for a little while and we're going to see how the guys adapt and adjust. That's why we have 82 games. We get to figure it out as we go along.
"I'm sure when playoffs arrive, and if we're lucky enough to qualify, then we'll have a good idea of who we want to start with. But along the way, we'll build enough confidence in the other guy to be able to turn and use him."
McLellan didn't add the word "hopefully" to the last sentence , but that appears to be his expectation - that by seasons end, both will hopefully have found their respective strides on a Sharks' team with its eyes firmly on the Stanley Cup prize.
San Jose is one of a handful of NHL teams exploring that new, rotating goaltender dynamic, popularized by both the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers on the way to last year's collision in the Stanley Cup final.
Niemi is the far better known of San Jose's two netminders, largely because he took the Blackhawks where the Sharks have failed to go these past half-dozen years - all the way to the winner's circle last year with Chicago. And in the NHL's game of musical goaltenders that followed this past summer, where the Blackhawks severed ties with both of their goalies, the Sharks took on Niemi so that he could job share with Nittymaki, and in the process, save the San Joses a pile of salary-cap dollars.
It is a model adopted by a number of teams with varying degrees of success thus far this season - to find an unknown somewhere and roll the dice.
The Nashville Predators believe their current goaltending duo - of Pekka Rinne and Anders Lindback - is the tallest in NHL history. One is 6-4, the other 6-5 and they have both been key parts of the Predators' fast start (Nashville didn't lose its first game in regulation until Thursday night, a 3-0 defeat to the St. Louis Blues). The Blues happen to be the NHL's top defensive team at the moment, thanks in part to ex-Hab Jaroslav Halak, who has been everything St. Louis hoped for in a starter.
Halak was the NHL's second star of the week, even before recording the shutout win over the Predators. The only reason hardcore Hab fans aren't lamenting Halak's strong start (1.55 GAA, two shutouts) is that Carey Price appears to have been right all along - the Canadiens weren't about to win or lose the Stanley Cup in the first exhibition game of the season. Everybody is chilling in Montreal, as per Price's direction.
Meanwhile, last year's top defensive team, the New Jersey Devils, is jockeying with Atlanta, Anaheim and Colorado for the worst defensive record in the game, with long-time stalwart Martin Brodeur off to a tough start.
Last year's top individual performer, the Boston Bruins' Tuukka Rask, the only goalie with 45 or more appearances to finish with a GAA under 2.00, is at an underwhelming 3.53 today. He can't get back between the pipes because Tim Thomas, the Vezina Trophy winner two years ago who was on the bench for much of last year, has bounced back in a big meaningful way. Thomas lowered his eye-popping GAA to 0.60 after shutting out the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night.
But back to the Sharks, a team that qualified for the Western Conference final last year riding mostly Evgeni Nabokov, who has since taken up residence in Russia's KHL.Report Typo/Error

How Light and Wind Affect the Rate of Plant Transpiration
- Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to find out if the rate of transpiration in plants can be increased using light and wind. One of the biggest problems that land plants have to deal with is avoiding water loss or desiccation (Whiting, 2011). Transpiration is the loss of water vapor through the stomata (Xu et al. 1995). Transpiration occurs through stomata of leaves and also sometimes occurs in flowers (Vodopich and R. Moore, 2011). During transpiration, the water in the roots is being pulled up through the plant (Xu et al.... [tags: Scientific Research ]

The Irish Potato Famine Fungus, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary
- The Irish Potato Famine Fungus, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary The importance of the genus Phytophthora, both to humanity and to the development of the science of plant pathology, has been obvious ever since P. infestans devastated the potato crop in Western Europe in 1845. Its greatest impact was the potato blight epidemic in Ireland (Gregory 1983). In 1845 and again in 1848 a third of the potato crop was destroyed by blight, losses at the extremes of previous European experience. Even more disastrously, three-quarters of the crop failed in 1846.... [tags: Botany]

3-pointers: Soroco (2) — L.Miles, S.Miles.
Oak Creek There were moments Friday night — as the Soroco boys basketball team played host to Plateau Valley — that it didn't seem things could go more smoothly for the Rams.
Athletic senior guard Alex Estes was at his best, cutting around opponents and through the lane like Bode Miller though a slalom course. Junior shooting guard Michael Rossi caught fire from the outside and was draining 3-pointers with ease. Posts Matt Watwood and Leif Carlson cleaned up any mistakes.
Those stretches proved more than enough for the Rams to overcome an awful start, and they cruised to a 73-55 Western Slope League win against the Cowboys.
"Once we got our minds focused, we did what we needed to do," Soroco coach Sam McLeod said.
Plateau Valley shot well and forced Soroco into a spat of turnovers to start the game, going up 10-0. The Rams still trailed, 20-15, after the half. But after that, it was all Soroco.
Watwood scored on an assist from Estes to give the Rams their first lead, and Rossi helped brake the game open early in the second half. He hit a pair of free throws and two 3-point shots early in the third quarter. After Estes followed up with a 3-pointer of his own, Soroco (7-4) had a 57-45 lead.
"We've been working it real hard this week. We knew we needed to get something done now or we might not get another chance," Rossi said. "I felt great tonight. I've been off. There were three games there where I didn't hit a single 3-pointer, but I just let myself get comfortable in this game."
Estes finished with 24 points. Rossi had 14 on the strength of four 3-pointers, and Carlson poured in 15. Watwood had 12.
The team returns to action at 7 p.m. Friday at home against West Grand.
Soroco girls basketball snaps losing streak Friday
The Soroco girls basketball team snapped a five-game losing streak against Plateau Valley on Friday night and brought its season record to an even 5-5 with a 50-29 victory.
The final score doesn't make the game sound close, and thanks to a huge Rams first quarter, the game wasn't.
Soroco went up 14-2 in the first eight minutes and never looked back.
"That was a lot of fun," junior forward Ceanna Rossi said.
The Rams got contributions on the scoreboard from up and down their roster. Six of the team's eight varsity players scored and all saw extensive minutes. Sophomore guard Madison George led the way with 14 points. Rossi, meanwhile added 10. Junior Corey Snyder had 8 and sophomores Shelby Miles and Lindsay Miles each scored 7.
"We've been shooting a lot better," Rossi said. "I was able to score with some post moves down low. It helped that all their girls were shorter than me for once."
As much as the improved shooting helped the team, a strong defensive effort led to the fat lead. Midway through the second quarter, the Rams still had surrendered just four points in the game.
The Cowboys managed to crack double figures just before the half, but another strong quarter from the Rams in the third ensured the only question that remained was on which side of 20 points the final gap would fall.
"It helped getting up big in the first quarter because that just makes the other team have to work harder for the rest of the game," Soroco coach David Bruner said. "We got out quick, played good defense and that really helped for the whole game. The girls were really able to relax and just play."
The team next plays at 5:30 p.m. Friday at home against West Grand.
Hayden girls run past North Park in 55-37 win
A good all-around game ensured the Hayden High School girls basketball team never trailed in its Friday night game at North Park. A dominant fourth quarter made the final score lopsided.
Hayden (10-4) won, 55-37, breaking the contest open after the Wildcats closed to within three in the third quarter.
"We just had a huge fourth quarter," Tigers coach Eric Hamilton said. "We worked the ball inside and got some great shots. Then we got red hot from outside."
Delanie VeDepo scored 16 points, including 12 from 3-point range, to lead the team. Brette Frentress poured in 11. Erin Koehler had 10 and Rachael Koehler had 8.
Hamilton was quick to cite senior Calla Manzanares, as well.
"We really focused on shutting down their best player, their point guard. Calla did an outstanding job of defense on her all night," Hamilton said.
The team was playing without its leading scorer, guard Kyra Rolando. She also will miss today's game, a 4 p.m. home contest against Rangely, but she should return after the weekend.
Tigers boys handle North Park with 61-22 victory
The Hayden boys team had little trouble with North Park on Friday, coasting to a 61-22 victory.
Freshman Mark Doolin led the team with 13 points and Graig Medvesk and Ben Williams each had 8.
Now the team's focus turns to a tough home showdown today against Rangely.
"You always worry about games like this because the kids might be thinking ahead and looking past them," Hayden coach Mike Luppes said. "So this was a good win to get."
Against Rangely, the focus will be on stopping guard Patrick Phelan, a quick, sharp-shooting senior who has terrorized league team's for years.
He averages nearly 30 points a game and is equally comfortable popping the ball from 3-point range as he is the free throw line.
"He can shoot it from 30 feet out with accuracy," Luppes said. "But he's also quick, so he can throw a pump fake and get right by you. We have to do our best to limit without putting him at the foul line because he can kill you there, too.
"We do have an edge on them in rebounding, so we'll have to clear the boards and make sure they only get one shot."

DUSHANBE, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said here Wednesday his country will do its best to help end the bloodshed in Ukraine and investigate the MH17 incident.
"We have found common ground that there is an urgent need to end the bloodshed and immediately launch a negotiating process to find a solution acceptable for all sides," Lavrov said after talks with his Tajik counterpart, Sirojiddin Aslov.
He added that Russia will do everything that depends on it to foster necessary conditions for the implementation of the Geneva Agreements of April 17, which mapped out concrete steps to de-escalate tensions and restore security for all Ukrainians.
Meanwhile, he also pledged that Russia will do its best to help execute UN Security Council Resolution 2166, which envisaged a thorough and independent international investigation into the July 17 crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
All 298 people aboard the ill-fated flight were killed in the tragedy, which has shocked the world amid suspicions that the Boeing 777 jetliner was shot down.
