Betting the Ranch (1 of 4) by James Merritt
This content is part of a series.Betting the Ranch (1 of 4)
Series: All In
James Merritt
Luke 9:23-26
1. The table is set, dealer at the center. The seated players are dressed in tuxedos. On one side the evil genius with a patch over one eye. On the other side the suave secret agent with a gadget for every occasion. And the first battle between these two blockbuster movie titans will of course be… a game of poker. Have you ever noticed that all of the dramatic scenes concerning a poker game that you see in the movies and especially the old westerns is when somebody goes ''all in'' and they put all their chips on the table?
2. Many of you I am sure have probably played the popular game known as ''Texas Hold 'Em'' so you are familiar with the term ''all-in.'' At any time in a game a player can decide to put all of his chips on the table. He bets his entire stack; everything that he has to offer he puts it on the table win or lose. When a player does that he is saying to all of the other partners, ''I am betting everything I have. I am committing all that I've got.''
3. If you have ever heard the term ''bet the ranch'' that came from what would happen sometimes in the Wild West. Gamblers would come in and bet hand after hand and if they really felt like they had a shot at the big pot they would literally put the deed to the ranch on the table and bet the ranch that they had a winning hand. Back in the day you could literally take a piece of paper, sign your own handmade promissory note and bet everything that you had on that particular hand. Today it is known as ''going all in.''
4. For those of you who like challenges, you are going to love this series. We are calling it, ''All In.'' We are going to be giving you the same challenge that Jesus gave to His disciples two-thousand years ago to go all in to following Him, to go all in in being committed to the church, to go all in in giving Him everything that you have, so that in return He can give you the biggest reward ...

You Think You Know, But You Don't Know
A plot to overthrow the United States government is uncovered in New York City in the summer of 1919 when William Flynn, a field agent for the Bureau of Investigation, is sent to investigate a bomb threat that has targeted some of America's most powerful politicians and leaders of commerce, New York millionaire John D. Rockefeller, Sr. among them. Flynn's investigation takes him on a journey into the underworld of homegrown terrorism and introduces him to a competitive culture of violence and murder. Greed, power, and politics are at the center of the story and Flynn must distinguish the villains from the merely discontented. Along the way, he discovers that terrorism has many faces and that a determination of guilt or innocence often lies in the psychology of fear that constricts individuals at every level of society.

Yesterday, out of the blue, every PC and server on my network, except the Spiceworks host, returned an authentication error.
Nothing that I was aware of had changed on my network. After much wheel spinning, I restarted Spiceworks (running as a service), rescanned and voila...all is well again.

Chris -
Definitely weird. Can you zip up your logs and send them into support? I'd love to have Dev look at it to see if it was anything that needs to be fixed.

You are Here : Bollywood > Baahubali 2 five minutes video leaked
Visual footage of 2017 Indian film Baahubali-2 was stolen and uploaded on social media without permission, the producer of the movie alleged in a complaint with the Cyber Crime police of Hyderabad commissionerate on Tuesday, November 22, 2016 .
Baahubali-2, is a sequel to the multilingual blockbuster movie Baahubali: The Beginning, released worldwide in 2015.
On Tuesday evening, producer Y Shobhanadri, lodged a complaint alleging that he saw video clippings of Baahubali-2 footage on YouTube and asked his team to find out how it happened.
After looking at the five minute video footage being streamed on YouTube, the producer realised that it could have only been stolen from Annapurna Studios, where the footage was given for design work.
"The producer's team also found out that Krishna Dayanand Chowdary, a trainee graphics designer working at the Annapurna studios stole the footage by logging into the server," ACP Cyber Crimes, Hyderabad commissionerate, KCS Raghu Vir said.
The film producer told police that his team found Baahubali-2's two video clippings of total nine minute length in Krishna's computer. Subsequently, Krishna confessed to have shared the video clippings with two of his friends, Aishwarya and Akhil of Vijayawada on Monday night through whatsapp.

Walk-in office hours with Dr. Ryan Johnson
Monday 10 am to noon
A visual narrative of Central Avenue
By Donatella DavanzoGallery at UNM Center for Advanced Research Computing
There are few American roads as alluring as Route 66. Starting in Chicago and covering a total of 2,448 miles, the Mother Road stretches through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before coming to an end at the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica, California. The road has inspired songs and TV shows, and the iconic stretch has fascinated millions of people from all over the world, including Italian-American anthropologist Donatella Davanzo.
Donatella first drove Route 66 from Chicago to California in 2006. As a photographer and anthropologist, the history and landscape intrigued her because of the conjunction of culture and architecture that create a sense of place, especially in the Southwest where three different cultures – Spanish, Native American, and Anglo - coexist.
Donatella started taking photos of the famous highway in 2013 when she was selected by the University of New Mexico's Center for Southwest Research to do a photographic survey of Route 66 in Albuquerque.
From 2013 to 2015 Donatella walked the road from one end of the city to the other, Tramway to the Route 66 Casino, and from Fourth Street to Isleta Boulevard, capturing places most people didn't even know was part of Route 66. She took pictures of every structure and features along the way. The photographs allow the viewers to see not only the buildings, but the details and areas around them that, ironically, are rarely seen as people drive past quickly.
A selection of the photographs is now on display in the gallery at the UNM Center for Advanced Computing, which is housed in the former Galles Motor Company along Central Avenue. An opening will be held Friday, November 11, from 1 to 3 p.m. A collection of 1,362 selected images is available to view online at the Center for Southwest Research and Special Collections section of the UNM website.
The pictures were not taken with artistic intent, Donatella explained. Rather they are a snapshot in time of a fast disappearing piece of American history for future researchers, architects, anthropologists, and historians to study. For example, one well-known building she photographed, the Octopus Car Wash, has been recently razed.
"It's no more. It's history," she said sadly. At least one other building along the route is due to be demolished to make way for a parking lot.
Why are people fascinated by Route 66?
"It's not a road. For many travelers, Route 66 is a destination. People want to explore it as a personal journey, and to touch American culture."

New Wrangler Owner in the UK
Our New Wranger is with us :) We took the plunge and bought a Black ,2.8 CRD,2 door, Overland , MY 2013.
...We have been told that Jeep Uk have only sold about 200 new Wranglers this year (2012)to date in the Uk ..it's something of a rarity in the UK ..the Uk motoring public just does not understand "its a Jeep Thing"... Unlike the rest of the world ! >>>>
Does anybody have any Wrangler unit sales data in their regions ?....all the best from Hampshire, England
Welcome to the Jeep family! and yes it is a Jeep thing!
I'm jealous of your 2.8, I have an American spec 2013 with a 3.6L gas engine and I would trade it in a heartbeat for a CRD!! I'm down in southern Germany
Hiya Gary and congrats on your new Jeep.
I've owned different Wranglers for many years.
I personally think Jeep don't really advertise or market there products over here in the UK, also a major problem here we have a very greedy government that punish you for trying to get on in life,
My old 2009 petrol Rubicon only did 17mpg, also it was in the top car tax bracket so was a very very expensive car to run.
Hi Gary hope your enjoying your new jeep.
I was about to buy a brand new wrangler when they were about £18,999 (2010)there were warnings about how the price was going to rise significantly. I just thought how can the prices rise, were in recession , nobody has any money , no one wants to lend any money. And guess what they went up to about £25k .So I bought a 2nd hand one with 5k miles on it. I let someone else pay all the vat and tax on it .
The 2011 onwards are the ones to go for cheaper road tax £250 for the manual and a little more for the auto.. I turned the stop start technology crap off. save 5p in diesel and spend £500 on a new starter.

Shopping for Her…the storyboard
Shopping for Her
Sequence 1
Shot Description:
Title slide
Sequence 2
Shot Description:
Picture of a man giving his wife an anniversary present.
Calm instrumental
It was my 5th anniversary and my husband thought I would like his gift THIS time, but I didn't. Although it was beautiful, the diamond pendant wasn't something I would wear.(Oh, and by the way, this picture isn't of my husband and me, I would never own a beige couch having 2 kids)
Sequence 3
Shot Description:
Picture of a jeweled sandal.
Calm instrumental
One time, for no special reason, he bought be some jeweled sandals. They were really pretty, but I never wore them because I didn't feel like I had any outfits that would warrant these quirky sandals. I ended up giving them to Goodwill.
Sequence 4
Shot Description:
Coach purse
Calm instrumental
Last Christmas, my husband asked what I wanted and I told him a Coach purse. I would never buy myself one and everyone keeps talking about how great they are so I it seemed like a good Christmas gift. What did he do? He took me to the Coach Outlet (of course I would never pay full price) and let me pick one out. It just isn't the same when you pick it out yourself.
Sequence 5
Shot Description:
Picture of stylish women
Calm instrumental
Now that you have a flavor of what gift-giving is like in my house, let me help any guys out there by showing you a place to find gifts that we will love!
Sequence 6
Shot Description:
Zappos.com logo
Dramatic noise, then silence
Yep, I am talking about shopping on Zappos.com. How can you go wrong? Free next day shipping, free returns and a 365 day return policy! All that and you can do it on the couch in your PJ's!
Sequence 7
Shot Description:
Picture of the Zappos.com home page
Clicking of the keyboard
First, go to the Zappos.com home page and enter "shop by" or "outfit" in the search field.
Sequence 8
Shot Description:
Shop By home screen
None (possibly upbeat background music)
That will take you to the Shop By home screen. On this page you have a few options for how to shop. You can look at the latest trends, shop by occasion, or just look at some outfits. I always like to shop by "Your Style" so let's go there.
Sequence 9
Shot Description:
Picture of the Your Style landing page
On this screen you can look at the different images for each style. All you need to do is decide which of these looks closely matches the style of the woman you are shopping for. (match her style, not her looks)
Sequence 10
Shot Description:
All-American home screen
For example, I clicked on the picture of the All-American woman. Here you will find a number of complete outfits to choose from. What's nice about this way of shopping is that you can get her a complete outfit including shoes and accessories! She will love having an ensemble and she will be impressed by how coordinated everything is!
Sequence 11
Shot Description:
Picture of one All-American product page, transition to shoe sizing tool
"I'm Too Sexy For This" by Right Said Fred
After clicking on the picture of the outfit you like best, it will take you to a screen that lists each of the items from the picture on the right side of the page. Here you are able to manipulate the size and in some cases the color of each item (it is not suggested that you change the color, you might just mess it up). Simply scroll down to see all the products.
Sequence 12
Shot Description:
Tape measure
Background music
Now you are probably thinking, "I have no idea what size she wears, so how am I going to find out"
Sequence 13
Shot Description:
Show item section of the page
It is simple. Women wear different sizes in different styles so here is where you will need to do a little investigating…go in her closet and peek at the size of a shirt, pant, and shoe that have similar styles. For instance, in this picture you see the shoes are peep-toe heels. Go check out what size her existing peep-toe (or closed-toe) heels are. This size would most likely be different than what her running shoes are so that is why it is important to get a similar shoe to reference.
Sequence 14
Shot Description:
Closer view of All-American product page
Once you have selected the appropriate sizes for each item, click the checkbox next to "I Want This!" to indicate that you want to purchase each product
Sequence 15
Shot Description:
Closer view of All-American product page
Then click the big orange button that says "Add Selected Items to Shopping Cart" to get to the Checkout page.
Sequence 16
Shot Description:
Checkout page
You are almost done! At the bottom on the checkout page click "Proceed to Checkout"
Click Here
Sequence 17
Shot Description:
Checkout page
Verify your shipping and payment information (hint: don't use a card that she has or normally checks the statement for).
Sequence 18
Shot Description:
Checkout page
Then click "Submit My Order" at the bottom of the page to get a confirmation number. You should be excited now because she is going to be so happy!
Sequence 19
Shot Description:
Picture of the complete outfit
Look at this girl, you can tell that this awesome outfit goes with her personality and she feels like she looks great in it? That is all we want…to feel and look pretty.
Sequence 20
Shot Description:
Woman with a question mark
So, what do you think? Can you do it? I know you can and you should get started right now! My husband does a much better job of shopping for me now that he has some direction. If it can work for him, I know it can work for you!

ON Sunday my two trebles won and my two singles lost – it's supposed to be other way round but this way offers more profit.
Hopefully I'll get the Super Single totals sorted by the end of the month and remain in profit on the accumulators. Bottom line is profit though and if you do both you'll be quite happy.
The Top Treble was Juventus, Schalke and Red Bull Leipzig while I picked both to score at Schalke, Celta Vigo and Sevilla. That was my second btts treble in two days and yesterday out of my 10-match shortlist only Sassuolo failed to net.
Nice was a disappointing Super Single loser as they never turned up at Caen while Sevilla were unlucky to go down 2-1 at home to Barcelona. It was a thrilling game and both teams played brilliantly in spells.
Monday's quiet pretty with one FA Cup tie – Southport v Fleetwood – and not much else.
I've had a trawl round some of Europe's lower leagues and have decided to put up a treble – but only because the accumulators are showing a nice profit.
Southport are improving in the National League and face a Fleetwood side that will make changes according to boss Uwe Rosler. There were loads of goals in yesterday's ties and I'm going for both to score here. I'vetaken btts as opposed to overs because it's a better price but if you think Fleetwood will still win easily take the latter option.

The United Launch Alliance rocket, which stands some 19 stories tall, blasted off at 9:24 p.m. from Space Launch Complex-3 on South Base, crackling as it climbed into the sky and shaking homes in the Lompoc Valley.
Thursday's gusty winds had threatened the mission but ultimately calmed enough to allow the rocket to get off the ground, much to the delight of spectators who declared the departure "awesome."
"It was too spectacular to not witness," said Tony Moore, a technician at the Air Force Flight Test Center Museum at Edwards AFB.
Officials remained mum about the outcome of the mission, only confirming that the rocket's nose cone separated.
The secrecy is because the rocket ferried a hush-hush spacecraft to orbit for the National Reconnaissance Office, made up of Defense Department and CIA.
The spy satellite agency, whose existence was top-secret until 1992, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010-11.
"We had a great launch," said NRO spokesman David Waltrop. "This is the sixth and final launch during NRO's (50th) anniversary year and it concludes the most aggressive launch campaign in the last 25 years."
The celebration comes amid a flurry of six missions that started last year — four of the launches occurred from Vandenberg.
Col. Alan Davis, NRO Office of Space Launch director, praised the team involved in making the launch happen.
"Their hard work and dedication ensures our nation's critical edge in space well into the next decade," he said.
Liftoff of the Atlas 5 rocket came two days late so crews could replace a faulty component on the rocket last weekend.
Until that problem, the launch campaign had kept to its schedule, overcoming challenges of power outages and problems caused by storms late last year on the Central Coast, according to Lt. Col. Jenns Robertson, 4th Space Launch Squadron operations officer and the Air Force launch director.
Vandenberg's 30th Civil Engineer Squadron along with Pacific Gas and Electric Co. crews essentially rebuilt South Base power facilities to ensure the April launch could occur on time.
"That was a huge army, a fantastic effort," Robertson said.
Soon after the September launch of another Atlas 5 at Vandenberg, the team began the steps to ready the rocket for this week's launch. This was the fourth launch of an Atlas 5 from the base.
"We're really proud of how fast this rocket has been processed," he added.
Following Atlas will be another ULA rocket, a Delta 2 booster scheduled to depart June 9. That rocket will carry Aquarius/SAC-D mission for NASA and the Space Agency of Argentina.

In 2001, Disney/Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." showed kids around the world who the scary beasts in their closets really are -- just a bunch of guys doing their job by making children scream. And in 2013, monstrous pals James "Sully" Sullivan (voiced by John Goodman) and Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) will be headed back to theaters in "Monsters University." But this one will be set back in their college days, before they became the best of friends.
Take a look at the reveal of the official synopsis for the movie, plus get a first look at the logo. "Monsters University" will open on June 21, 2013.
|Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn't always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn't stand each other. "Monsters University" unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.
Screaming with laughter and fun, "Monsters University" is directed by Dan Scanlon ("Cars," "Mater and the Ghostlight," "Tracy") and produced by Kori Rae ("Up," "The Incredibles," "Monsters, Inc.").

This is a tricky question, because people already use the current CLI API. The CLI2 API is quite different, so people would have to migrate their code to the new API, and I can imagine that a lot of people would be loathe to do that. I think we should investigate the possibility of having CLI as a façade to the (superior) CLI2 package. This could ease migration problems, as well as solve the outstanding parsing issues. My vote is to move towards CLI2, but do it in such a way that we can avoid disturbing users of CLI as much as possible. > Hen Regards, James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Intermodal Transit: A Better Way To Ship
Industrial companies are finding intermodal transportation to be an efficient, cost-saving approach that enhances the supply chain process.
Apr/May 10
Intermodal carriers offer expedited service to manufacturers and retailers that closely monitor containers, ensuring they continue to move and letting customers know where they are at any time.
"Intermodal rail service has become much more reliable and efficient in recent years," Lanigan says. "We provide a combination of value and environmental friendliness."
BNSF has boosted time-sensitive inventory replenishment by reducing transit schedules on 60 percent of its domestic intermodal premium container traffic, and adding 16 more days of service.
"These changes are a direct result of feedback from our domestic carrier customers on what they need to attract more over-the-road freight to a truck-rail intermodal solution," says George Duggan, BNSF vice president of domestic intermodal.
One change includes reducing transit time by seven to 10 hours on its premier transcontinental route between Los Angeles/San Bernardino and Chicago, giving customers morning availability and permitting same-day delivery. Industry sources call Chicago the freight capital of the nation.
BNSF also reduced transit time between Memphis and Los Angeles by four to six hours, and increased Houston inbound and day-of-the-week frequencies. These enhancements supplement the 77 service changes BNSF made to its domestic intermodal service in 2009, reducing overall transit schedules by 300 hours and adding 32 days of additional frequency. BNSF's fastest intermodal service moves 760 miles a day - 200 miles more than a single-driver truck.
Railroads have spent billions to upgrade their intermodal facilities over the past 10 years, Feemster says. That includes double- and triple-tracking routes that allow trains to run in both directions simultaneously. Additionally, companies are enlarging tunnels to permit double-stack trains to pass.
"Double- and triple-tracking improves average train speeds and reduces average dwell time, the time it takes to stop the train and start it moving again," Feemster says.
As for imports, the majority comes from Asia through all U.S. ports.
"But more are coming by water into Gulf and Eastern ports, taking away from Western ports such as Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Portland, and Seattle," Feemster says. "That's because 77 percent of the U.S. population lives east of Texas," he claims.
On the inbound side, Doyle says auto manufacturers and retailers are the biggest users. For exports, it's agricultural companies transporting grain, soybeans, and other commodities.
Which companies are the biggest intermodal users? The auto industry uses a lot of supplier parts that are transported intermodally, Feemster says. But Lanigan and Doyle say consumer products companies are the top users.
"Nearly every customer is international - either buying things around the world or exporting things," Doyle says. "Very few companies are self-contained."
A Bullish Outlook
Sources are optimistic about the intermodal outlook through 2010.
"There's a replenishment cycle going on as inventories drawn down need to be replaced, so we're hopeful that will grow intermodal volume," says Thomas Malloy, vice president of member services and communications at the IANA.
Lanigan also looks for steady business as orders arrive tailored to customer needs.
"The outlook is very robust," Feemster says. "Intermodal is the second-lowest-cost transportation - the first is water - combining water and rail to provide the best cost scenario for getting products to their major markets."

FINAL FOUR: Duke Succeeds Despite Stress and Injury; Blue Devils Peaking at Right Time
By MALCOLM MORAN, Special to the New York Times
Published: March 31, 1989
DURHAM, N.C.— Mike Krzyzewski realized right away that this would sound strange, that the idea of reaching the Final Four was not among his first thoughts after qualifying for the national semifinals of the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament.
But for all the national discussion of paving that road to Seattle, for all the coast-to-coast emphasis on being there, that is not the first thing that Krzyzewski, the coach of the Duke Blue Devils, was thinking about Sunday evening.
His team had defeated Georgetown to win the East Regional championship. Krzyzewski had seen individuals push themselves to a higher level and the group achieve a completeness it did not have earlier in the year. Until the Blue Devils boarded their charter flight home, their coach was not thinking about the reward, just, he said, ''the manner in which it was achieved.'' Third Time for Seniors
His seniors, Danny Ferry, Quin Snyder and John Smith, were making this trip for the third time, going home from New Jersey before the final trip to a national semifinal game. The biggest players were seated in first class. Ferry and Snyder were seated close to the coach.
''The game was such a great game that I was just really happy about winning the game,'' Krzyzewski said. ''I was really proud of them. And then all of a sudden it hits you. Actually, it hits you two ways. Most of it is really joy. Then there's that other part of you that wants to go to the beach this week, saying, 'We've got to do this all over again.' But we get over that real quick.''
For the third time in the past four tournaments, the Devils have had to delay their rest. This group has succeeded despite the stresses of a No. 1 ranking, the expectations built by a 13-game winning streak and the uncertainty of four losses in a five-game midseason stretch when Ferry had a back injury.
Krzyzewski has known a far greater uncertainty, the attempt to compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference when his second and third seasons at Duke produced a total of 21 victories. The demands of the tournament, he said, do not compare with the pressures of that time.
''I don't really look at coaching a team in the tournament as pressure,'' he said. ''I look at it as something you work for, you prime yourself for, and then you do it. When you're building something, you never know completely if it's going to work. When you're in a tournament like this, you already know it's working. You just want to be at your best so your thing is working better than his thing.''
The success of the program has just created additional demands. The seniors have experienced the sensation of going to the Final Four and returning home with a loss.
Ferry remembered the semifinal loss to Kansas last year at Kansas City, Mo. ''The hotel was next to the main strip, so it was loud all night,'' he said. ''It was really hard for me to go to that championship game and watch because I thought, 'We should be here.' '' Experience Helps
Ferry's first trip, to Dallas three years ago, was different. ''I was just feeling my way through everything the whole year,'' he said. ''At that point, I didn't know any better. This year, having been twice already, the experience can be good. I think the senior class has learned. Everybody has learned.''
The learning does not stop. Duke was frustrated by a poor start in the semifinal loss last year, when Ferry made 7 of 22 shots and the Devils 23 of 67 in a 7-point loss to Kansas.
''We kind of came out flat,'' Ferry said. ''Maybe a little bit satisfied. I just think the first 10 minutes last year, we were in a little bit of a daze. When you're playing a team that's very hot, like Kansas was, if you don't come in and play a solid 40 minutes, you're going to lose.''
This season, Ferry faced the pain of a back injury that forced him to miss a game for the first time in his college career. He was held to 14 points in the 20-point loss at home to North Carolina, the first defeat of the season. Two games later, his streak of 123 consecutive games came to an end.
''In the middle of the season when you're hurting, it's very frustrating when you're losing three in a row,'' Ferry said. ''It's not fun, but at the same time you know you can regroup. You don't have time to regroup now. If you come out and you're flat in one game, you're not ready to go, your season is over.'' Taking Up the Slack
But the fact is that the injury created a need for others to step forward. ''We were relying too much on him,'' Snyder said. ''We're a fairly talented group in addition to Danny. We have some pretty good players. When you have such a great player, when he's doing things like scoring 58 against Miami, sometimes there's a tendency for us to just kind of watch. You get him the ball and just let him go.
''When he did go out, it brought the level of play of the other guys up a little bit. We started contributing more without him, and then he comes back and we integrate him into the offense at the same time. We're better because of it.''
There have been times in the past week when Krzyzewski has sounded surprised at the individual results. Christian Laettner, the 6-foot-11-inch freshman center, has backed up his enthusiastic determination with some remarkable plays. Phil Henderson, the 6-4 junior guard, has mixed his skill on the perimeter with a surprising ability close to the basket. Robert Brickey, the 6-5 junior forward, has achieved a consistency that his game had been missing.
''I'm more confident in our team than I have been all year,'' Ferry said. ''And not just because we made it to the Final Four. The way we've been playing. The way people have been playing. We're so much better a team than we were earlier in the year. We're balanced, and we're a smarter team. We know ourselves so much more than in the beginning of the year.'' Other Goals
When the season comes to an end, the only achievement that remains is a national championship. ''That's not the one thing I want more than anything else,'' Krzyzewski said. ''I'd have to have my head examined to think that's the one thing I want more than anything else, a national championship.
''I start getting philosophical. I want good family, good health. I want consistent performance, and I want the truth, much more than I want a national championship. Now, in doing all those things, if I can get a national championship, too, that's pretty good. But I'll get that as a result of doing all those other things. Not with a national championship being the pinnacle of my accomplishments on the face of this earth. That would be kind of sad.''
Krzyzewski chuckled at the thought.
''I mean, I hope we win,'' he said. ''Don't get me wrong. I'll compete out there. But I'm not going to let it possess me.''
The coach is careful to hold on to moments that do not appear in record books. Sometime between the takeoff in New Jersey and the landing here Sunday night, Krzyzewski found himself looking at his players and marveling at what they had achieved.
Suddenly, his daughter Jamie, the youngest of three at the age of 7, began to cry.
''I looked over and said, 'What's wrong?' '' he remembered. ''I didn't know if she spilled something on herself, she didn't get enough food, or what. She said, 'We're not going to have Quin and Danny and John anymore.' And it kind of hits you. It makes you feel even better that they're going to the Final Four.''

4 Ways Women Can Achieve Their Own Definition Of Success
If you're a young woman just beginning her career, unfortunately there is no blueprint for success. No set of rules or guidelines to follow, no guarantee of "having it all." The truth is we all work at different companies and in different industries, report to different leaders, face different challenges and, most importantly, want different things.
Even the word success has been redefined. Your expectations of yourself and long-term life goals are simply not the same as the woman in the cubicle beside you. That's why my advice is less about getting to the top and more about maximizing your potential. Hopefully these four tips will help you start down the right career path and realize your own personal definition of success:
Be selective about where you work
You can't always find your dream job out of school, but if your company hasn't established employee networks that support diversity and inclusion or doesn't have gender diversity in its senior ranks, it may be time to move on to greener pastures. Your first order of business should be to find an organization that supports gender diversity and offers unique development and leadership opportunities.
When I was offered a position to join American Express almost 14 years ago, I was early in my first pregnancy. I chose to disclose this to a senior leader at the company before accepting the role and will never forget his reply: "We're investing in you long-term, not short-term. So, first off, congratulations, and welcome to American Express." Just three years later, while on maternity leave with my second child, I was offered a promotion to director of sales, my first leadership role within the company.
Obviously, these are not stories you often hear in the corporate world and I'm grateful for all the opportunities afforded to me throughout my career. But I think the important takeaway here is to give yourself a fighting chance and find a company that recognizes your potential and values diversity and inclusion.
Build strong relationships
While we all know what a mentor is, the concept of sponsorship isn't talked about as often.
A sponsor is someone in your organization who believes in your talent and is willing to put their brand, name and action behind you in support. Sponsorship is not asked for. It is earned over time by demonstrating exceptional leadership and exceeding results.
I've had strong mentors throughout my career and credit sponsorship with helping me identify opportunities and go after those next steps in my career. That's why I was concerned when new research commissioned by Amex Canada and Women of Influence revealed that mentorship and sponsorship are still rare among female entrepreneurs and corporate workers (with only 27 per cent having a mentor and eight per cent a sponsor).
If you don't have a sponsor, do what you can to earn one. As a woman, you simply need to build those key relationships with decision makers at your company. A sponsor can offer you unbiased career advice, expand your network, increase your confidence and provide you with access to job opportunities that otherwise may not be available to you.
And don't just take my word for it -- the research shows that that corporate workers with a sponsor are almost twice as likely to believe reaching the c-suite is achievable (61 per cent vs. only 32 per cent overall).
Stay true to your core values
While nearly three quarters (73 per cent) of women identified as being primary breadwinners or contributing equally to the household income in the previously mentioned survey, almost half (44 per cent) said they take on more household responsibilities than their partner. Furthermore, 47 per cent feel they've made career sacrifices to benefit their partner/family, compared to the just 24 per cent who said their spouse made sacrifices.
If one of your goals is to start a family, stay true to what's important to you. Be honest with your partner about your career goals and make sure you're both ready to pull any extra weight at home.
At work, make sure your employer is aware of your non-negotiables when it comes to work-life balance. Strong talent is at a premium in business today and leading organizations are more than willing to provide flexible work options that will allow you to fulfill your commitments at home without giving up your career aspirations.
Pay it forward
If you're lucky enough to work for a forward-thinking organization and achieve the success you've always sought, remember to pay it forward by mentoring or sponsoring a promising young employee in your organization.
Act as a sounding board, provide advice and help them build up their confidence. When you identify talent in your organization that you can cultivate over time, you'd be surprised how passionate you get about their development. It really becomes a two-way relationship where you're learning and growing from every interaction while inspiring them to take that next step in their career.
Success may be undefinable, but for women in business, it's certainly not unattainable.

Raise your hand if you'd like to be able to give back to your community. Now raise your other hand if you just don't have enough time to do that. Now that we're all sitting at our computers doing the wave, let's talk about companies that know it makes good business sense to make volunteering part of work. For example, Intel, the Arizona-based technology company, gives employees time off during the workday to volunteer. It gives workers a sense of personal fulfillment and responsibility, and it creates a stronger connection between the company and the community than just writing a check could ever do. It's just plain smart. You can put your hands down now and move on to the next slide.
Every new parent knows there's nothing harder than that first day going back to work and leaving your newborn with someone else. We've all had that feeling of, "couldn't I just bring her with me?" Well, many businesses have decided you can. Companies like Business Psychology Associates, a benefit management firm in Boisie, Idaho, let new moms and dads bring their babies to work. Others take it further, like Chicago-based publisher Shakespeare Squared, who invested in an on-site office with a crib, changing table, fridge, and toys, so that parents can bring along their kids whenever the need arises.
Today's families aren't as simple as they used to be. Understatement of the year, right? One thing that's happening more and more these days is that as parents struggle to balance work and family, grandparents step in and take on larger child rearing roles. And sometimes those grandparents are still in the workforce themselves. So companies have recognized that grandparents need flexible work options, too. Seattle-based health and nutrition group WithinReach offers grandparents the same options it gives moms and dads, including the ability to take time off, ease back into work schedules, and bring infants to work. Because what grandparent doesn't want to be with the kids all day anyway?
If you have ever worked a day in your life, you have without a doubt uttered the phrase "I need a vacation." And sometimes we need a longer vacation -- for personal reasons, family obligations, or just to pursue other interests. Unfortunately, most career paths make it difficult if not impossible to take time off and then rejoin the workforce. But many employers are realizing they'll have happier, healthier and more productive employees if they give them the option to exit and re-enter the workforce. One leader in this field is the U.S. Navy, which has introduced career intermissions for service men and women. Sailors can take one to three years off from active duty service, during which they keep their health benefits and receive a stipend equal to one-fifteenth of their pay. When their intermission is up, they are able to transfer seamlessly back into service.

What's the number one thing people most often intend to do in the morning but don't find the time or energy to fit in? Undoubtedly exercise. We all know we should do it but it's just hard to make it happen. Many employers offer hours off to hit the gym, but even that can be difficult when the gym is far away, inconvenient, or expensive. Delta Dental of Louisville, Kentucky solves this problem with an on-site fitness center staffed four days a week by two trainers. The cost to each employee is just five dollars a paycheck -- that's a lot cheaper than my gym membership!
How many times have you thought, the workday would be a breeze if I just didn't have to go to work? Well maybe you don't. Millions of Americans have realized they can get their work done without actually being at work every day. Letting employees work from home helps them balance work-family responsibilities, and also eases traffic congestion and helps the environment. Houston, Texas even launched a citywide "Flex in the City" program that encourages businesses to eliminate at least one peak-hour commute. Hundreds of companies have participated, making employees' lives easier and cutting congestion for those who do commute, all while maintaining productivity levels.
Traditionally there are two options for parents: you can work or you can stay home. But so many people are desperate for an in between option. It's one reason why many parents -- mothers in particular -- are still opting out of the workforce. In academic science fields, for example, women are still underrepresented -- not because they're not entering the field, but because they drop out at higher rates. In response, Bowdoin College in Maine is developing job sharing programs that split tenure track positions into two separate jobs, so that two teachers (even a couple, for example) can remain on the job without either working full-time. It's a great model that can be replicated in countless other fields. Read more about keeping women in the science pipeline.
We all like to imagine our retirement will consist largely of a beach chair and a pina colada, but when it comes down to it many older people want or need to remain in the workforce past the traditional retirement age. But a full-time job isn't always ideal or possible for older workers. Many companies are realizing they can't afford to lose the skills and knowledge of their older employees, so they need to find ways to keep them. Businesses like Merrick and Company, an engineering and architecture firm, let older employees transition into retirement by offering part-time positions that allow them to keep their benefits and move toward retirement incrementally.
Millions of Americans work and go to school at the same time, and some companies have recognized that if they make job schedules fit better with school schedules, their employees will be more productive and more likely to stay on board. For example, consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton allows associates to cut their hours to part-time if they want to go to graduate school. When even more time is needed, employers like Sirna Therapies, a pharmaceutical company in San Francisco, offer educational leave programs so that employees can take time off to pursue advance degrees, then come back to their jobs when they're done.
When hard times hit unexpectedly and non-work responsibilities suddenly multiply, just a little financial boost can go a long way. It's no secret that people in tough situations have long turned not just to family and friends, but to co-workers, too. Now some businesses are making it official. Cooper-Roberts Simonsen Associates, an architectural firm in Salt Lake City, formed a "We Care Fund" to support colleagues in difficult circumstances, be it unexpected medical bills, or the need to stay home and care for an ailing spouse. Employees build the fund themselves through voluntary payroll deductions -- it's a small price to pay in exchange for knowing you'll have somewhere to turn if you hit hard times yourself.

No worries, as cholesterol is produced by liver, these levels may fluctuate due to issues in liver. But, help is around the corner. Just switch to herbal welactone capsules and all your issues are taken care of. Regards Dr. Omkar Balkrishna Shahapurkar

walk in the schoolMature
You put your brave smile and tell the studio boss, "This is is, a new chapter in my life"
You enter the school and look around. It smells of old polish and there are a lot of pictures of people you do not know
You look at the schools name, "The Prince's Academy". You smile as you think it sound like the princess academy. The studio boss told you it was a boys school. There were no girls at all in the school.
You walk slowly and wonders where you should go.
A teacher comes up to you and says that you must be the new boy. He asks you where your luggage is and you just shrug your shoulders. You never worry about your luggage.
He tells you to sit outside the headmasters office.
You sit and you wait. You see a boy walk past you. He is wearing a pink top, shorts and tights. He looks like a girl.
Next to you, another boy is sitting.
What do you do?

I insert the W7 Home Prem disc into the drive - close it - then in the explorer window I double left click the DVD RW Drive (D icon -- the DVD opens and pushes out the disc and a message - Insert a disc, Please insert a disc into drive D:. gets displayed Can anyone help me fix this?

I'm 32.
Just kinda feeling that life anxiety, you know?
All day I read peoples medical records and sob stories:
Do you have any unusual fears? that I won't accomplish anything….. that I'm a failure at life….. that I'll never improve…..
Sorry guys those are not "unusual fears" I have those almost daily and I am by any standard a functional member of society.
It's better than it used to be in some ways and worse in others. My stress over weather I'll ever "accomplish anything" is slowly diminishing however there's increasing anxiety over if I am really living my life or if I'm just waiting to die. will I ever have meaning… am I cultivating the relationships I should?
Am I too late?
I think that's the question that has been gnawing for expression… am I too late?
I feel like that's a question a lot of people work to overcome. You see a lot of inspirational quotes and whatnot about "It's never too late to fill in the blank" trying to reassure people that they shouldn't give up and stop trying to do whatever it is the are possibly too old to do.
I've been resisting the urge to reach out bitterly to Paul. For some reason I want to harass him. I want to just be a thorn in his side. But I remind myself: he has no conscience- it is futile.
Re: Johns writing… Chapter one was far superior to the prologue. honestly I didn't even make it through the 13 pages of single spaced pages. I gave it up in the interests of a possible future with this man, and skipped to the first chapter. It was engaging and the dialogue was well timed and had a great natural rhythm. I really liked it. He has since revised the Prologue and resent it to me again. It is about half as long and totally restructured. I only went through two pages so far but it's far more tolerable already.
Angel still talks to me a lot. He's really taken this whole "lets be friends" thing pretty seriously. Every now and then he brings up something that he clearly thinks will make me sentimental and missing him and it has turned into a fight…. 4 of 5 times? I honestly don't know how he doesn't see it coming.
I told him I was at the book store last night while I was waiting to be called into the daycare. He asks me why he and I never hung out at the book store together that seems like fun… um maybe because you always work and you're only available starting at 9 and they close at 10 most nights and 9 on Sundays which is they day he usually wanted to hang out. He tells me I shouldn't assume things he could have got time off I told him how would I know since he wouldn't take a weekend day when I wanted to take him to 6 flags for his birthday. So I'm to think he will change his schedule to loiter at the book store but not go to a theme park during some scare thing that he's been talking about for months? That's not logical at all.
Here he thinks he's going to place happy sweet thoughts of things I can possibly do with him and it just reminds me that no, he doesn't do shit with me and it' not even because it's me it's because the work is more important than me.… We went "out" one time in 2016. It was to the fair. it was after 9 on a Sunday night.
