Todd's Auction House3449 Summer Memphis, Tennessee USA
Todd's Auction House AKA Aqua Treasures Estate Sales Dishonest business Memphis Tennessee
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
We had a household sale in the Memphis area and gave Todd Auction House a contract to sell items out of our storage facility. We had no opportunity to be there locally, so we could not control what really got sold and what not. Months later we heard, that somebody was break in one or more of our storage bins and items got stolen.
Our first impression was: Why was the Todd Auction House not giving us any notice that stored items disappeared? This is a very important cause, but we never got any answer, what we demanded. We wrote e-mails and made phone calls, but seldom we received any reaction back.
After several month most of our items got sold, we cancelled our contract with the storage facility and with Todd Auction House. They were holding the keys to the storage facility and never gave us the keys to our storage bins back. So we had to hire a locksmith to cut the locks.

Foxes Boxes
Click here to view the Standards Addressed
Value of Playing Foxes Boxes:
Level: Grades 1-3
Recommended # of Players: 2
Materials: Foxes Boxes game board, 1 set of orange Foxes Boxes cards, 1 set of blue Foxes Boxes Cards
Math Skills: Part-whole relationships, addition of 4 numbers
Mathematical benefits
Foxes boxes asks students to add four numbers (0-9) to make larger numbers (6, 15, 24, 5, and 19). Students take turns drawing one card off of their deck and placing it on the board. With each draw students must consider the best placement for their card, without knowing the cards that will come next or those of their opponent. To be successful at this game, children must think about the hierarchical inclusion aspect of numbers. That is, all of the numbers smaller than a number are included in that number. So, for example, 5 is included in 6; however, 6 is not included in 5. This game provides many opportunities for children to reason about part-whole relationships in numbers as they decide where to place each number and develop strategies. For example, it is not a good idea to put a 5 in the 6 column because then the only numbers that can successfully finish that column are 1 and 0. Students are also constantly adding numbers in their heads to evaluate the possible placements. This helps to support mathematical reasoning and mental math skills.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Time for margarita's! And chocolate, lots of chocolate!
Quilting makes me happy!..
Ok girls; I'l tell it------My DH bought me a new Janome Sewing Machine; I was so happy just sewing and pieceing away and away and all of a sudden-----I looked up and my bottom thread was a confetteeeee messsss; I spent a few hours trying to figure what was going on and still couldn't figure it out. My DH came home from work and he looked at it and said don't know(and He knows sewing machines). So, the next day we took it back to the dealership and the man there (a sewing machine repairman) opened the case and said: Look Here--Here is your problem: The top thread regulator was off a few degrees. Talk about feeling dumb; Evidently--reaching over the machine I inadvertedtly moved the thread regulator control with my sleeve some how. Well; NOW- that is the first thing I check. We all have those days. It's nice to be a member of a swell bunch of people. I love it......Hope you all have less complicated days.
Oh, Yes! I'm sure we all have had our Day! I forgot to drop my Feed dogs once and sure had a time!
Lol and definitely sounds like some of my quilting experiences. When I teach quilting I can always tell people what "not" to do because I have probably done it at one time. It's good to laugh at yourself and keep on keeping on!
No wonder quilters get along so well. We can always understand your pain and then laugh along with you, because we all have done the same thing or something similar. Hang in there girl it will all come out right in the end. LOL

SearchAll Refuges
Northern Hardwoods Trail users please be aware of the possibility of falling limbs/trees in the area. Due to Beech Bark Disease there are many dead trees in the hardwood forest, limbs or branches may fall unexpectedly. Use these trails at your own risk. These trails may be especially dangerous during high wind events. Alternatively, you may ski, snowshoe, or hike anywhere on the refuge. We just ask that you refrain from stepping in the groomed ski trail tracks if you are not wearing skis.
Follow Us Online
Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers can be found at the refuge year-round. Although difficult to tell apart, the downy woodpecker is smaller than the hairy and its beak is noticeably shorter. Look for these birds hopping up and down the trunks and branches of trees searching for insects.

|Re: st: Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic
|Tue, 08 Feb 2005 10:25:07 +1030
One interesting consideration of goodness-of-fit (as opposed to significance) is J.S. Cramer (1999), 'Predictive performance of the binary logit model in unbalanced samples', The Statistician, 48, Part 1, pp. 85-94. He proposes a measure 'lambda' which is a measure of how much better your model does than if you just used uniform probabilities to predict the binary outcome. If you do no better than the naive 'uniform probability' assumption lambda is zero; if you improve by 100 per cent (i.e. predict perfectly) lambda is 1. He argues that lambda is analagous to R-squared in linear regression. Hope this helps Jim --------Original message-------------------- Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2005 09:15:24 -0800 (PST) From: Ricardo Ovaldia <email@example.com> Subject: st: Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic Dear all, I though that some years back there was a posting regarding criticism of the Hosmer-Lemeshow GOF statistic.

|Following the footprints of ancestors through time
I have just recently caught the genealogy bug, but my Sisters and Mother have had it for some time. As anyone who has searched out their family history knows, the process can become an adventure in and of itself. Not to mention the thrill of finding a tiny shred of evidence thats leads to that breakthrough extending your family tree back generation after generation. It can also be extremely frustrating and expensive at times.
As I go through the process, finding on-line sources and links to research sites, I will post them to help anyone else out there trying to find their own history. There are hundreds of genealogy sites out there and many of them require a subscription fee. At the same time there are many that are free, or offer limited resources for no charge. In this day and age, money is always an issue, so I will post article about those sites as I find them. I'll be maintaining a links page, that will contain links to all the resources I find on line. If you know of resources not listed, please let me know so I can add it to the list for the benefit of everyone.
I've noticed that most of us searching out our heritage, are very helpful to each other. There are an amazing number of blogs dedicated to the research of their family names. Many times, those names can tie in with another person looking for a tendril of their past. So I'll also be posting links to those blog sites, and maintain a separate links page for them. There will also be a blog list in our sidebar with Genealogy blogs I will be keeping in touch with. If you have a genealogy blog, and don't find yourself in that page, please contact me and I'll add it.
Often, networking is the key to finding those breakthroughs that seem to be so elusive. In that spirit, I'll have a page listing the names we're researching, please have a look, and if any of them are names you're researching, click on the contact tab and perhaps we can help each other. I'll share any information I obtain freely, please don't be afraid to ask.
I hope you find the stories and photographs posted here interesting and entertaining. Perhaps even, I can help some of those just starting out, perhaps cut the learning curve just a little bit. Thank you for visiting, and please come back often.
"Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrations and revolutionists." Franklin D. Roosevelt

Councilman Greenfield: We don't want a 'Super Ghetto' senate district
Speaking with a few dozen members of the southern Brooklyn Jewish community behind him, Councilman David Greenfield denounced the creation of a so-called "super Jewish" state senate district during this year's redistricting process, calling it instead a "super ghetto."
"We're not going to allow for a backroom, smoke-filled deal to dilute the strength of our community," Greenfield said during a press conference in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn.
A number of speakers from various community groups and religious organizations spoke, including Chaim Deutch of Flatbush Shomrim, Rabbi Chaim Goldberger of Satmar, Mendel Zilberberg of Community Board 12, and Rabbi Yechezkel Pikus of the Council of Jewish Organizations of Flatbush.
"We are opposed to this so-called 'super-jewish' district. This district may be super for other people, but it's not super for the Jews," Greenfield said.
The proposed district in question is part of the first draft of state senate lines drawn up by LATFOR, the task force made up of state legislatures who are responsible for drawing the new lines. If created, the 17th district would stretch from Borough Park down through the Midwood section of Brooklyn (see below).
Greenfield compared the creation of a senate district carved out for the predominately Orthodox Jewish community in the area to the creation of the Venetian ghetto 500 years ago.
"They told the Jews, 'It'll be good for you; why do you want to live with everybody? We're going to separate you. We're going to put you in a neighborhood.' And they came up with a brand new name for this neighborhood. They called it a 'ghetto'," Greenfield said. "This, folks, is nothing more and nothing less than a ghetto district."
The Councilman refused to say who, specifically, it was that wanted to create this "ghetto district" but the push for the high-density district has come from the Senate Republicans, who both drew the maps and see it as a potentially winnable seat this year. Greenfield said he testified before LATFOR, calling for more concentrated districts in the area that is now divided among as many as six senate districts.
"They gave us one--one senator. A senator that can be easily marganilized. A senator who can be dismissed. A senator people don't have to pay attention to," the Councilman said.
The battle over the future district lines has been playing out behind a special election for the nearby senate district recently vacated by disgraced former senator Carl Kruger. Another local council member, Lewis Fidler, is running against Brooklyn Republican Party vice-chairman David Storobin.
The candidate was unable to attend at least two recent debate appearances due to illness. But the illness was announced ten days ago and Fidler has been scarcely seen publicly, with just two weeks left to go in the campaign.
Requests were put in to Councilman Fidler's campaign for an update on his status. They have yet to be returned.

Very nice appartment in a very good location. no problems at all. next time again.
Apartment very nice and comfortable.
Very close to downtown.
Nice apartment. It was a shock to have to pay so much money in advance as a deposit. And that there was no Katharina at all, but a big organisation....
Perfect location ! Very beautiful apartment big and high ceiling. Nice beds, good kitchen and very nice with two bathrooms!
I'd choose this apartment only then, if I am 1) late with the reservation and 2) plan to stay just for one night. The apartment is functional, clean. But without any soul. If you'd expect to feel there like in a 2nd home, you won't get it there.
It was a wonderful experience to be there in Pragu and to stay in the Upper Rooms with the view to the River. Your hospitality is amazing and arrangements were great. keep it on. If myself and my friends get a chance again to visit prague, we will be staying there surely. Thanks most sincerly for the accomodations.

We had a great stay in this very big apartment. It is situated in the centre, everything (supermarket, sight-seeing, restaurants) is in walking distance. The building is in a busy street so there is some noise from traffic and people, especilally in the summer when the windows are open. Friendly host, highly recommended.
Big and tidy appartment in the centre of Prague. Three bathrooms were a plus but some of the fixtures were lose. The kitchen has everything you need when staying only for a night or two but is a bit small for longer stays.
Another plus was the luggage storage at the Hotel after checking out.
As we left the appartment cleaning staff was there before 11am and as our vehicle was stuck in traffic we were asked to wait with all of our luggage on the street. Not the best customer service.
The Hotel staff was helpful but not the friendliest.
Nice appartment, Staff polite and very efficient if you have any need.
Missing some little thing like soap for the washing machine, filter for the coffee and not a lot of paper towel... But it was clean and well located. Grocery at 5-10min of walk, metro at 2 min walk, restaurant near. I would recommend it
Very nice and clean appartment. Very centrally located. No parking possibilities at appartment but at the place where the key has to be fetched parking is for free. Any time again.

Separation Anxiety
Stand back, everybody. I read about a guy who did this with a baby once.
Alright, you two, listen up. I'm sick and tired of hearing you both quarrel about who gets California Karma 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon & 2009 Chardonnay Case. Ah ah ah, I don't want to hear about who paid for what or who's the bigger wine connoisseur. Even though Harold here owes me thirty dollars from a football bet we made over a month ago now, I shall act as the impartial judge over this little disagreement.
Now then, let's see what we have here. Ah yes, six bottles of the youthful California Karma 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, full, bursting with juicy fruit, but smooth and with a balanced finish. I believe this was the very same wine Stacy and I were enjoying just before she got together with you, Harold. It was quite the aphrodisiac, as they say. But again, I'm not partial, just merely pointing out my prior experience with this wine. And your soon-to-be ex-wife. But mostly the wine.
And I see we also have six bottles of the California Karma 2009 Chardonnay. Very nice. Such a pleasant, round chardonnay, isn't it? Why, I remember sipping some of this just the other day, the notes of fresh apple and light oak dancing cleanly along my tongue as I wondered, 'Does Stacy ever think about that night? Maybe I should make a move when the divorce is final. There's a chance I could be her rebound at least.'
EUREKA! Harold? Stacy? I have come to a decision. I think Harold should have the wine, and Stacy should let me take her to dinner and possibly a movie this Friday. No pressure or anything. Just a date. If some sparks fly, that's cool. And don't worry. I don't care that you're still "technically" married. Hey, I'll even write off that silly debt you owe me, Harold. Have we got a deal?
Oh. Well sure, if you want to just split it up between the two of you, I guess that would work. It's BORING, but whatever.

How Noticeable Are the Scars After an Otoplasty?
Doctor Answers 76
Scars from Otoplasty
Otoplasty (ear shaping) is performed primarily for "prominent ears" that are typically sticking out from head and usually less defined. This appearance can sometimes make someone more self conscious or the object of teasing (ie "Dumbo Ears"). The goal of Otoplasty is to reshape the ear to a more natural appearance and position.
The scars from an Otoplasty (ear surgery) are not visible as they are placed in the crease where the ear attaches to the scalp (post auricular sulcus).
The results are quite significant and make patients feel both more confident with themselves and less self conscious.
Hope that helps!
Prominent Ears: Otoplasty and Minimizing Scars
Minimizing Scars with Otoplasty
Scars and incision placement are an important part of otoplasty surgery. There are four basic approaches to otoplasty or correction of 'dumbo ears.' Experience of the surgeon influences results. The four types of surgery are as follows:
- Conchomastoid sutures: Furnas technique
- Conchoscaphoid sutures: restoring antihelical fold
- Anterior scoring of the cartilage: Stenstrom's to bend the ear back.
- Excision of posterior skin
All of these procedures are performed with hidden scars to minimize the risk of scar.
Scars and otoplasty
Typically scars are placed in the fold between your scalp and ears. Scars are permanent but it is unusual to be able to see this scar unless you fold the ear forward.
In the immediate post-op period you may have swelling and bruising that may give away that you've had a correction but after that resolves it should be very difficult to tell that you've had an otoplasty.
I hope this helps.
Steven Williams, MD

No one will see the scars
You are not alone. Otoplasty is a very common procedure. Fortunately, the entire surgery can be done through small incisions in the crease behind your ear. After severel weeks, no one will be able to tell you had surgery (except, of course, by seeing the improvement in the projection of your ears).
Otoplasty Scars
Ear surgery scar
they heal well if no skin is excised
the ear shouldn't be too corrected, for a natural result
if all those factors are respected you can expect a good and natural result
Not noticeable at all
Web reference: https://gartnerplasticsurgery.com/
How Noticeable Are the Scars After an Otoplasty?
After surgery, since the ear comes closer to your head, the gap is smaller and hence the scar is hardly visible.
Some Surgeons make a cut in the front of the ear, but even this is hidden deep in the hollow and is barely noticeable over time
Scarring Following Otoplasty/ Incision Placement
When otoplasty is performed the incision is made on the back of the ear. This location is excellent for hiding scars. The scars are typically placed in the depth of the retro auricular area, where there hard to see. In addition, over the course of time these scars lighten and become almost imperceptible.
Self-esteem, self-image, and self-confidence can all be adversely impacted by prominent ears. Under these circumstances, otoplasty can be a life changing experience. The possibility of scarring is minimal with this procedure and shouldn't be a reason for not proceeding with surgery.
If you're considering otoplasty consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concern.

- We go to the ring for Jesse, Robbie E, and Joey Ryan's collective entrance to Robbie's music. Rob Terry is out next.
Handicap Match: Rob Terry vs. Jesse, Robbie E, & Joey Ryan
They play Rock, Paper, Scissors and Joey Ryan is chosen to begin the match as Jesse and Robbie escape to the apron. Rob Terry takes over with slow power offense but they all cheat behind the ref's back to get Terry down to one knee. The heels continue with quick tags and strikes to the big man. Robbie tags Joey Ryan in and they waste time as Jesse seems to have a problem with it and Rob Terry has a chance to recover. Terry hits a double backdrop to Robbie and Jesse. Rob Terry drops Ryan for the pin.
Winner by pin: Rob Terry
- Roode and Aries are on the way out to the ring.
- Austin Aries and Bobby Roode make their entrance on the other side of a break. Roode grabs the mic first and addresses Kazarian and Daniels. He says they got in his head a little bit with all the talk of reforming Fortune. Aries said he never believed a word that Kaz & Daniels spoke. Aries says he and Roode like each other just enough to have a common goal of winning championships; they are not best friends that giggle and laugh at each other's jokes. They are a team of world champions.
Kaz & Daniels interrupt in the ring. They say they are the best team in the business. They go back and forth with zingers and talk about their tag team title contender's match for next week as Chavo & Hernandez come down the ramp. Chavo says talk time is over. He says they just talked to Hogan and the special ref for the #1 contender's match next week is... "Sorry about your damn luck." James Storm comes on the ramp and toasts beers with Chavo & Hernandez.
- Sting approaches Angle in the weight room as he tapes his wrists and asks if he is ready. Angle says he is. Sting tells the camera he needs a minute as he closes the door and enters the weight room. We see him and Angle talk through the glass as we go to a commercial.
- Tara complains to Gail Kim about Taryn Terrell in the back. Gail thinks she should have been Knockout of the Month and says she is the greatest female wrestler of all time. Tara kind of gives her the hairy eyeball and says she will see Gail out there and they will make Taryn pay, in their tag match, and leaves. Gail says out loud to herself that she will make sure she will get the win.
- Chris Sabin talks about his win.
- D-Lo Brown is introduced to the ring followed by Kurt Angle.
"I Quit" Match: Kurt Angle vs. D-Lo Brown
Back from a break at the top of the 2nd hour. The crowd is on fire with USA chants. D-Lo has a mic and says that beating Angle isn't enough; he wants to humiliate him. He wants an "I Quit match." he tosses the mic into Angle's face and the bell rings.
Angle goes to work and puts D-Lo in a submission as D-Lo screams "No!" into the mic. Aces & 8's appear at ringside and the distraction gives D-Lo a slight advantage. D-Lo goes to hit Angle in the face with the timekeeper's hammer and measures him but Angle ducks and D-Lo hits the steel post. D-Lo sends Angle back in as DOC, Anderson, Garett, and Wes look-on from the security rail. D-Lo slowly works Angle over in the ring and the ref stays ready with mic in hand.

Commercial 1x2s are actually 1x1.5" Is this too wide to use as top bars? Do they have to be cut, or will the bees accept this width?
Commercial 1x2s are actually 1x1.5" Is this too wide to use as top bars? Do they have to be cut, or will the bees accept this width?
David Landers
I rip 2x4s at 1 1/4 inches. I get two TopBars from that that are 1 1/4 X 1 1/2 inch, which is perfect for the two sizes you need. Small for brood large for honey. Just turn them to the side you need. I also get a largish peice of scrap from the two cuts which I can use as emmergency topbars or as general scrap wood I use for other miscellaneous purposes. If you don't like the rounded edge, just make it 3 rips instead of two, but I like the rounded edge bars for the honey topbars and the squared edges for the brood nest. This lets teh bees pull air from back to front when they fanning for evaporation or heat management.

The bees will build the brood combs about 1 1/4" no matter how wide your bars are and no matter what you use for comb guides. They will build the honey about 1 1/2" or maybe even larger no matter what size you make the bars. You can make them 1 1/2" The bees will still build the combs on about 1 1/4".

If you're redecorating a bathroom, the toilet can seem like the easiest fixture to pick. You have hundreds of types, shapes, and sizes of bathtubs, sinks, faucets, vanities, mirrors, and even shower heads, not to mention the tiles and paint colors! The toilet is often overlooked – though it's really the whole point of the bathroom – until it's time to actually pick the toilet. Then you realize just how mistaken you've been! Choosing the right toilet is crucial in any bathroom, regardless of the size and layout of the room, and can be a daunting task. Don't worry – we at Quality Bath are here to walk you through it. Just read on for a helpful toilet-picking guide!
Toilets are divided into two main categories: wall-hung toilets and floor-mounted toilets. The difference is pretty straightforward: wall-hung toilets are mounted on the wall, with the tank hidden inside the wall, and floor-mounted toilets stand on the floor. Why buy one over the other?
Wall-hung toilets
A wall-hung toilet is more complicated to install than a floor-mounted toilet but boasts many benefits. The toilet's slim tank is mounted on a strong metal frame, which is connected to wall studs. The wall is then constructed around the toilet's parts, leaving the bowl – which does not touch the floor – protruding from the wall.
Why should I choose a wall-hung toilet?
Contrary to popular belief, wall-hung toilets are not difficult to maintain. If there is a problem with the toilet, you don't need to wreck the whole wall to reach the tank; an actuator (the panel that controls the toilet) opens to allow access when the toilet needs a repair.
Wall-hung toilets are easy to clean due to their one-piece design and the fact that they don't touch the floor. Their minimalist look is popular in modern bathrooms and is often recommended for use in small bathrooms; they don't take up as much space as floor-mounted toilets and the negative space below them can make any bathroom seem more open while providing extra space (when necessary).
Why not?
Unless one does not like the look of a wall-hung toilet or is not willing to undertake a more complex installation, this type of toilet is an excellent for virtually any bathroom. A word of caution: don't mount a toilet to an external wall in a cold climate – it can result in frozen pipes and a huge hassle.
My favorite wall mounts:
Floor-mounted toilets
The floor-mounted toilet is what most of us picture when we think of a toilet. The standard tank-and-bowl combination is an old standby and is available in various shapes, sizes, and configurations.
Why should I buy a floor-mounted toilet?
Floor-mounted toilets are generally (but not always) found in more traditional bathrooms. Of course, plenty of modern bathrooms have floor-mounted toilets, like this one:
Toilet type is almost always chosen based on personal preference. In some cases, like wall structure or an inability to install certain types of toilets, one doesn't have a choice. Within floor-mounted toilets, fortunately, there are options galore. One-piece toilets, like the one pictured above, are seamless for easy cleaning and a sleeker appearance. Two-piece toilets, in which the tank and bowl are separate pieces, are more cost-effective than their one-piece counterparts.
My favorite floor mounts:
I like the slightly unusual shape of this one:
This toilet by Toto proves that toilets can be decorative as well as functional (different designs available here):
Not sure?
Do you love the look of wall-mounted toilets without the extra expense or installation? The Geberit Monolith covers the tank with a sleek panel (in a choice of colors) for a smooth, sleek look regardless of toilet type and brand.
Interestingly, tankless toilets are becoming more popular in homes today. Instead of the standard tank-and-bowl design, tankless toilets use higher water pressure to flush waste without the need for extra stored water from a tank. Though tankless toilets are generally found in industrial settings, they are now able to be used in residential homes, sometimes with the help of a pump to power the flush in the case of inadequate water pressure.
Features to look for
Whatever type of toilet you choose, you'll have myriad options within your choice. Many toilets are equipped with a standard or optional soft-close seat, which means that the lid will not slam down but rather close slowly and gently when pushed. Soft-close is a feature I'd personally go with on any toilet – no noisy lid closings!
Some toilets, like those in the Duravit SensoWash line, include a built-in bidet/cleaning system for a bit of added luxury. These toilets are available in wall-hung, one-piece, and two-piece configurations.
If you'd like to install a toilet in a complicated location such as below a sewer line, an upflush toilet uses a macerator to pulverize waste and pump it through the system. To learn more about upflush toilets such as the Saniflo system, click here for a detailed explanation.
Good luck with your toilet-buying experience! Let us know what kind of toilet you have and what you like or don't like about it so that you can help others make the right decision.

No McCullum, no Vettori, no Ryder, no chance?
Not so for New Zealand as they begin their first bilateral tour of the West Indies for 10 years.
Leave the tests for now. The absence of Dan Vettori for the limited-overs section of the trip is nothing new. He hasn't played a game for his country in other than test cricket for a year - two in the case of T20s.
Jesse Ryder's absence was flagged weeks ago before the squad was named. While his talent isn't in question, his form was wonky, his head not in the right space and he's trying to sort himself out.
This is not to say he won't be back, but no Ryder is no new problem for New Zealand.
Brendon McCullum is slightly different. He is being rested until the two tests late in the tour. New Zealand have a busy time of it for the next 12 months.
McCullum will be heavily involved.
If you think he'll fancy putting his feet up for an extra three weeks, you'd be wrong. He is a competitive character with a fierce desire to win. Doing his bit, rather than watching from afar is his thing.
This tour is a chance to look at options. It is a trip of opportunities for several players.
McCullum's absence will thrust more importance on a handful of players at, or near, the top of the order.
Rob Nicol made a decent fist of his limited-overs opportunities last season against Zimbabwe and South Africa, but was clearly out of his depth in the South African tests.
His card has been marked in that respect, but he retains some short-form credit.
Daniel Flynn has the ability to be more than a first-class grafter, and gets his one-day runs at some pace.
Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill are the two batsmen who have had plenty of off-season cricket, with contracts at Gloucestershire and Derbyshire respectively.
As the only batsmen who have been in regular work outside the IPL for the past three months, they have important contributions to make.
Spinners Ronnie Hira and Tarun Nethula get their opportunities to build on a taste of international action last summer.
If three spinners are deemed important for the world T20, Hira is sitting pretty. Nethula is interesting and gives the ball a rip, but his absence from the group for the two games this weekend makes him an unlikely consideration for the world event.
Wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling lost his test spot to Kruger van Wyk in unfortunate circumstances - a hip injury flaring up the morning before the first test against South Africa at Dunedin. He gets his chance to keep his name firmly in the selection plot before his rival pitches up for the tests.
Seamer Tim Southee lost his way against South Africa last summer and was gone after the first test. He's over a shin complaint, but has to prove himself in the shorter forms before regaining his test place.
The facilities at Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, about 20km from Miami are much improved from the basic offering two years ago when New Zealand opened their alliance with United States Cricket with a couple of games against Sri Lanka.
There is plenty of expatriate interest from West Indians, Indians and Pakistanis, according to assistant coach Trent Woodhill, and a crowd of well over 10,000 is expected for both games. That's likely to relate more to seeing West Indian entertainers Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo back in action than watching New Zealand.
Still, it's one of the last chances to prepare for the world T20 in mid-September, so best fill the boots.
"We've got six games left (before the world championship) so it's important to get our structures and planning right," Woodhill said.
Whatever your view of T20, this weekend will set a tone for the rest of the tour.
"We know we have a challenge on our hands and we're playing in a foreign territory. I sense an edge to the guys, which hopefully sets us up for the rest of the tour."

Ripoff Report
Ericsson Inc local delivery organization4 Gatehill Dr Parsippany, New Jersey USA
Ericsson Inc local delivery organization Ericsson's PMO ripping off vendors, LDO and individual contributors Parsippany New Jersey
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I've worked for several years as a project manager for one of the largest wireless companies in North America. Ericsson , to us, was the supplier of any new equipment (RNCs,enode b) that was being deployed and also was hired to install,integrate and optimize this new equipment for our company.
Everything always starts out cordial,with promises of a smooth deployment,equipment reliability promises,availability of equipment and resources with the talent required to get the job done .
time and time again, I witnessed the sheer lack of professionalism from Ericsson and heard the horror stories from their contractors that they used,including their internal deployment team,their engineering staff and their project managers,both blue badged and contractors.
The bottom line is that they failed on almost every level to meet our expectations. Once they have your purchase order they calculate their margin and work to provide you with the least amount of resources to complete the project. we spoke to several ericsson project managers off line and they complained about working 60 plus hours a week and only getting paid for 40 because any additional time reporting would eat into their budget. The ramifications of not meeting budget is no bonus and possible termination. They admitted to not paying vendors for repeat visits due to budget constraints. One of the key drivers for repeat visits was due to faulty equipment,untrained installation crews, and software related problems created from under trained and over work Engineering staff.
their internal delivery organization even named Daryl Avant as a project manager that failed to pay them over 100k in services that was provided to support a deployment project.Instead of complaining ,the LDO took the loss to their budget for fear of losing future work assignments.
It is this internal greed and lack of respect for their own team and approved vendors that leads to a most unpleasant and often chaotic vendor relationship.
So to all these vendors that are getting continually ripped off by Ericsson,to all those engineers working all day and into the night and to all those Ericsson project managers who work too many hours trying to find a way to not pay some vendor,internal engineer and themselves, we see it and are working to rid Ericsson from our approved list.

About 84% also report their graduate management education to be professionally rewarding. The B-school Class of 2013 also fared well overall on the job market.
"As many as 87% of Indian citizens are employed this year with 83% working for an employer and 4% being self-employed. The global figure is down slightly to 90% from the 92% of last year's graduates employed by September 2012. Despite the continued economic uncertainty, 72% of the Class of 2013 alumni who landed jobs said they could not have got it without their graduate management education. This shows that despite the slow, uneven economic recovery around the world, the job outlook for business degree-holders is holding fairly steady," says Gregg Schoenfeld, director of management education research for GMAC.
Regardless of their employment status, a majority of alumni from the Class of 2013 believe their education developed their skills, expanded their network, and prepared them for the job market.
The poll is a follow-up to the GMAC Global Management Education Graduate Survey, an exit survey of graduate business students conducted around March. Some 915 alumni from 129 B-schools worldwide responded to the poll.
The survey also suggests that the technology sector is drawing 15% of the Class of 2013 graduates worldwide. MBAs and other business master's degree-holders from India continue to find jobs in a variety of industries, with a total of 57% employed in the products and services, finance and accounting, and consulting sectors.

Congratulations to Mrs. Jennifer Scoon for being the 2010 recipient of the NJ Governor's Teacher's Award. It is a program that acknowledges innovative and dedicated teachers.
The Governor's Teacher Recognition Program was developed in 1985 for the purpose of acknowledging teachers who exhibit outstanding performance. It is not associated with the Teacher of the Year program. The rationale for this program is based on the premise that teaching excellence is one of the most significant factors impacting student achievement and the quality of public schools. Further, acknowledging excellence encourages teachers to continue to strive towards that goal. For the purpose of this program, teachers are defined as those whose primary responsibility is classroom instruction.
Composition of the Selection Panel
Each public school district in New Jersey is invited to select exceptional teachers and/or educational services professionals from each school through the use of a district selection panel. The district selection panel must include an administrator, a teacher, and a parent/guardian. It should consist of up to nine members:

I'm not going to get the test done, nor the LOR, but I'm off to run errands now.

Once I eat said dinner, (the timer just buzzed!) I have to do some work. Don't wanna!
And the replacement trampoline net arrived today, so I need to get that set up this weekend while the weather is good and the pollen not yet at deadly (for me) levels.
How'd your errands go, Moody?

Writing the self : the emergence of a dialogic space
Dillon, Lisette (2011) Writing the self : the emergence of a dialogic space. Narrative Inquiry, 21(2), pp. 213-237.
Submitted Version
(PDF 141kB)
While much narrative inquiry is concerned with issues of self and identity, doing study on the processes (the how) of self-making offers ongoing challenges to methodology. This article explores the creation of a dialogic space that assisted young adolescents to write about themselves and their daily lives using email journals as an alternative to face-to-face interviews. With the researcher acting as a listener-responder, and in the absence of researcher-designed questions, a dynamic field was opened up for participant-led self-making to emerge over a six month period of self-reflective written expression. The article describes a shared email relationship based on a dialogic pattern of thinking, writing, listening and response intended to foster participants' voices as ontological narratives of self. Findings show the use of email journals created a synergy for self-disclosure and a safe space for self-expression where the willingness of participants to be themselves was encouraged. The self-representations of a specific group of gifted young adolescents thus emerged as written versions of "who" they are —offering data that differs from interview approaches and contributing to discussion of the value of ontology narratives.

The 9/11 Generation
Last month I traveled to New York City for a conference; before heading home, a group of military spouses had made the commitment to visit the 9/11 Memorial. We are spouses representing all branches, all ranks, and we are all post 9/11 military wives. It seemed fitting to make this stop; after all we would probably have never met if that day did not happen. United by our husbands' service, motivated by patriotism that we share, and heartbroken by the immense loss of life that has occurred within our community as a result of those terrorist attacks.
When we arrived, it reminded me much of my visit to Arlington Cemetery. It felt peaceful; it felt like you were sealed off from the entire rest of the world to reflect on what this sacred place means to you. Each of my fellow spouses had different things they yearned to see, some lost loved ones whom they wanted to find on the wall, some searched for the Survivors' Tree, and some just walked around in tears thinking of what this spot represents. We rarely said a word the entire time, we cried, we hugged, we looked at one another with the unspoken words we were all thinking. I think we understand better than most people what the events that happened on those grounds have meant for our own lives. It has meant countless days of separation from our service members, it has meant fears we could not have predicted, and it has meant pain.
It is an honor to love a man who has volunteered to be a defender of the freedoms I love so much. I became a military wife just two months shy of September 11, 2001. At the moment I said "I do," the world was calm. I knew nothing of places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, or Djibouti. The only deployment we faced were the Marine Expeditionary Units that sailed ports around the globe, visiting friendly places. On the morning of September 11th, I knew my life as I knew it had changed.
Over the course of 11 years, I have watched as friends have become widows, I have watched as friends have become caregivers, and I have watched as the war we sent our men and women into has become mute to our Nation. Our military community at home has a responsibility to every boot that has touched foreign lands to make sure nobody forgets. Let's pledge to ensure that the rest of our country does not forget that every day is our September 11th, until every man and woman in uniform are safe on American soil.
God bless our forward deployed troops!

The St. Louis lineup is dotted with new faces this season, but a few elder statesmen led the way as the Saints opened defense of their Division II state soccer championship with a 4-0 win over St. Michael in the regional round.
The No. 2 Saints (17-5-6) will host No. 7 Bolton in the quarterfinal round. Bolton advanced with a 2-1 win over Belle Chasse.
Saints senior Alex Kjellsten produced a hat trick, scoring the first three St. Louis goals. Junior Patrick Ieyoub finished the scoring, blasting a free kick into the bottom right corner in the game's final minutes.
"We only have four or five guys that had ever been in a playoff game," Saints head coach Jason Oertling said. "We were a little nervous to start. Once we calmed down, you saw the way we could play soccer. We controlled the ball and played well. They calmed down and started being aggressive. We were able to get a lot of kids into the game, that will help in the future. Every game is going to be tough."
Kjellsten opened the scoring with a header off a free kick by Ieyoub in the 28th minute. He scored again just before halftime, tapping in a loose ball just in front of goal. To complete the hat trick, he lofted a shot from the right wing over the keeper's head 14 minutes into the second half.
"Alex really took over the game," Oertling said. "Their goalie was really aggressive and playing off his line. We talked about sending one to the goal and trying to chip one since he was so aggressive. Alex picked his head up and saw him before he took the shot."
St. Michael created few scoring chances, producing two shots on goal.
"We start with defense and that will always be what we hang our hat on," Oertling said. "We were solid. We won the ball on the goal kicks and the free kicks. We felt like if we could win the ball in the air on the 50-50 balls, they would have a hard time breaking through our defense and that is what happened."
Oertling said Ieyoub has sacrificed for the team.
"We didn't have defender back other than (goalie Marcus McNamara)," he said. "Ieyoub did a great job playing sweeper. He is really playing out of position; he is a great center midfielder. He has taken the responsibility of playing out of position because that is what's best for the team. We have a lot of guys who have done that, and when you have guys playing for the team, it all comes together."

Abingdon man charged with second degree murder of two-year-old
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. - December 11, 2013 Update at 8:00 p.m.
A two year-old girl is allegedly murdered by her mother's boyfriend in Washington County, Virginia.
Now he is charged with her death.
Leah Dye's life was cut short, just weeks after her 2nd birthday.
"It was the worst thing I've ever gone through in my entire life. No one's ever prepared to see their little girl laying there unresponsive," says Kayla Dye, the girl's mother.
Washington County, Virginia deputies say Gregory Marlow beat her to death. Investigators say Leah had a broken spine and torn aorta, and that she bled to death internally.
The case actually goes back to May of 2012 when deputies tell us they got a call about an unresponsive 2 year-old.
They say Marlow had been caring for her inside a Bristol, Virginia apartment when the trauma happened.
Little Leah was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly thereafter.
Between the autopsy and remaining questions, deputies and the Commonwealth's Attorney say they wanted a thorough and complete investigation.
They tell us Marlow's statements don't match up to what the autopsy shows.
"My family and I are extremely happy that he's been arrested," says Dye.
Dye says she wasn't there when the alleged attack happened. She claims Marlow told her he fell on the toddler.
Leah was later laid to rest with her favorite Elmo in her tiny coffin.
"She was an amazing little girl and she didn't deserve what happened to her, but she definitely does deserve the justice that she's going to get," says Dye.
Marlow is being held in the Southwest Regional Jail without bond. He's charged with second degree murder.
December 11, 2013 Update at 1:30 p.m.
Washington County, Virginia authorities charged someone with the second degree murder of a two-year-old on Wednesday.
In a news release from Sheriff Fred Newman this morning, he said rescue personnel responded to a call about an unresponsive two-year-old girl on May 21, 2012. The child had been brought to the Washington County Fire and Rescue Squad building from a Bristol, Virginia address.
The child was taken to Bristol Regional and later pronounced dead.
After an autopsy it was found statements made to investigators about the child's death by 28-year-old Gregory Marlow were inconsistent with the results.
Gregory Matthew Marlow of Abingdon, Virginia has been charged with second degree murder. He is currently being held in the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail in Abingdon without bond.

News Tomohiro Katō Sentenced to Death for Akihabara Killings (Updated)
posted on 2011-03-24 04:40 EDT
On Thursday, the Tokyo District Court sentenced 28-year-old Tomohiro Katō to death for killing seven and injuring 10 in a hit-and-run and stabbing rampage in Tokyo's otaku shopping district of Akihabara (Akiba) in 2008.
Katō struck five individuals with a truck at an intersection near the main Japan Railways station of Akihabara at around 12:35 p.m. on June 8, 2008. He then proceeded to leave the vehicle and stab 12 people on the streets. Police apprehended the suspect on a side street shortly after the incident.
As a result of Katō's actions, Akihabara halted "Pedestrian Paradise" — the tradition of zoning the main street of the shopping district as pedestrian-only. The tradition was just restored in January, although it has been put on hold again for the past two Sundays after the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake of March 11.

Hello,This might be a silly question, so please excuse my ignorance. While comparing SLK, Z4 and Boxster, I have noticed that the Z4 creates high torque at low RPM. Is it a good or bad thing? SLK Z4 BoxsterHorsepower @ rpm 302@6500 300@5800 310@6400Torque @ rpm 273@3500 300@1400 266@4400
I'm not sure if you're trolling/joking, but high torque at low engine speed is a VERY good thing, especially in a sports car!
________________________\o/____ 1 3 5 [oo=[][]=oo] /_/_/========= / / / 2 4 R
I had no idea the BMW made that level of torque that low. Holy diesel, Batman!! I am going to have to look at one of those and I hate BMW!!!
____________________________Edgy, Controversial, Dangerous...
It depends, do you want power now or do you want to wait around for it?
Having too much torque at a low rpm can be a bad thing in my opinion. You'd have traction issues.

Hello,I am serious; but I have no experience in this sort of things. Does this mean that Z4 is the best of the these three cars in term of acceleration? Does this difference in torque@RPM between these cars seem normal? Is it a critical factor in choosing which car to buy?Thanks
Hello XFistsClenchedX,Is it a problem even with traction control engaged?Thanks
Having torque at a low RPM is nice but generally means that the reason for it is going to result in poor high RPM performance. In the BMW's case, it is due to the turbocharger.
___________________________Chortle ChamberEggs.
hello atvman,I am not sure about what you meant by that. Are you referring to turbo lag?
BMW is turdbroding every car in their line-up. Get the Porsche.
No, I meant that good torque at low RPM usually means you have instant power available all the time. Modern turbo engines have minimal (if any) lag.That said, the Porsche is probably the quickest of the three cars you listed, it's hundreds of pounds lighter than the Bimmer or Merc.
instant powah!

Doesn't matter how much torque the BMW is making because Porsche any time you see mention of a Porsche engine you automatically add 50 hp and 30 lb-ft. I'm actually sort of serious but really out of these three the Boxter will be hitting 60 in about 4.5-4.7 sec with the Z4 behind at 4.8-4.9 sec and the SLK will be last place loser with a dismal 5.3-5.4 sec run. MB's 3.5 V6 is dog slow whether it be in the C-class or E-class.

From Our Editors
From a distance, the restaurant patio looks as though it's been taken over by blue octopi. But a closer look reveals that what might have appeared to be creatures from the deep are actually artistic balloon sculptures several feet tall, their long lines and curly inflated base evoking the waves of the calm ocean just beyond the patio's view. Eye-grabbing yet never out of place, Bayside Balloons' inflatable installments accentuate—even help to define—their surroundings, putting party guests in festive moods and drumming up conversation about their unique shapes and designs. The company's creative balloon displays have even popped up on sidewalks, museum openings, and restaurants across Naples. Though the floating sculptures, arches, and centerpieces look fanciful, Bayside Balloon's curators also tend to their practical aspects, designing them to withstand elements such as sun, wind, or a porcupine's birthday party.
