The latest name to slide off the 'I've served my time' conveyer belt is Craig 'brace yourself' Kieswetter, and the big-hitting, big-talking 22-year-old is now ready to bulldoze his way into Alastair Cook's Test side in Bangladesh.
Kieswetter's official nickname, according to the ever-jovial Marcus Trescothick, is 'Hobnob'. His opening partner politely declined to explain why, but needless to say that the batsman is the 'home of banter' in the Taunton dressing room.
The wicketkeeper-batsman qualified for England last week and, quicker than you could say 'Hard lines James Foster', the former Lion was called up to the ever-changing tour party for Bangladesh.
How did he respond? With a brutal, Matthew Hayden-esque 143, only without the gum-chewing, glaring, and post-innings offers to serve up pan-fried sea bass while still wearing his sweaty inners.
Kieswetter secured his status courtesy of his Scottish mother, having completed his four year qualification period since moving from Johannesburg, and is tipped for stardom in the kind of hushed tones which were previously reserved for Kevin Pietersen back in 2004.
Graeme Smith sounded like an over-zealous ex-boyfriend over the summer as he urged the protégé to return to the Proteas' setup he left after the 2005 U19 World Cup.
"Yes, we want him back," Smith said, before effectively bracketing Kieswetter with biltong and Castle Lager: "Cricketers are one of South Africa's biggest exports, but our national side are successful and players should want to be a part of it."
After it was suggested to Smith that his country may be set to lose one of international cricket's most exciting prospects, the South Africa skipper rather unconvincingly cited the return of prodigal sons Ryan McLaren and Charl Langeveldt as proof the development setup was actually in rude health.
'Military-medium' McLaren is 27 years old, while 'fractionally-quicker-than-medium' Langeveldt is a tender 35. But that would, of course, be entirely pedantic to point out.
Kieswetter underlined his credentials with a string of belligerent displays for England Lions after earning rave reviews with the performance squad. He took Pakistan A to the cleaners with an emphatic 77 off 52 balls in the first Twenty20 in Sharjah, and followed that by crushing Paul Collingwood's first team with a destructive 81.
Kieswetter made his Somerset first team debut in April 2007, when he immediately notched up a breezy 69 not out off 58 balls, and snaffled a stonker of a catch which was hastily labelled 'world class' by the Taunton faithful.
He has since taken the county circuit by storm, and was an important part of Somerset's progression through to the Champions League in India after he forged a formidable opening partnership with Trescothick.
Lions' batting coach Graham Thorpe is adamant that Kieswetter has the ability to earn international distinction even as a specialist batsman, while his 'keeping is more than tidy.
Indeed, England wicketkeeping coach Bruce French, the man more commonly known for transforming Matt Prior's ailing glovework from resembling Rahul Dravid's to, say, Alec Stewart's, was gushing about Kieswetter's talent after working with him in Pretoria before Christmas.
Cowers was kindly afforded 60 seconds of Kieswetter's time prior to the Champions League, and the 22 year old's quite staggering confidence immediately stuck out like Samit Patel's midriff. The only other players who can be recalled to match his unerring conviction are Pietersen and Allan Lamb...how apt.
Among the pearls of wisdom, offered up by Kieswetter like a Saj Mahmood half-tracker, were: 'If your house is burning down, save your phone but don't forget the charger'; 'Name my autobiography: 'Behind these eyes''; and 'If you can't be a student forever, just stay single'.
The man who says his all-time hero has always been Trescothick, and if he could have dinner with three people would select Nelson Mandela, Tiger Woods and Cheryl Cole ("for obvious reasons"), is nothing less than a massive character. Indeed, when asked who would be his ideal woman (apart from Cole/Tweedy of course), Kieswetter simply replied: "Anything that's going!" Let's hope he is more selective with his shot-making.
But the last thing the England selectors would care to consider would be his dressing room demeanour, and one look at his ravishing cover drive and dashing dab-sweep renders every other criteria obsolete in their books.
England's national selector Geoff 'to be fair' Miller, could only thinly veil his teenage girl-like excitement about Kieswetter's rapid development, but was unequivocal about limiting the number of newly qualified players in the set up.
"We have got to get to the stage where we are very careful on that [the number of South Africans in the England team], and we will be," Miller said.
"He has developed his game, he's a strong character, so he fits all the bills from an England point of view. South Africa talked to him and he said 'I'm English', so that's that."
Quite. What else is there to say, Geoff?
The progress of Kieswetter through the country's development system is not likely to delight former captain and Pimms-quaffer extraordinaire Michael Vaughan, who described Jonathan Trott's involvement as "a sad day for English cricket" in his partially controversial, partially interesting autobiography.
There is no doubt that England suddenly have a prodigious talent in their ranks. The question will simply be how long it takes for the gregarious 22 year old to make his mark on the biggest stage. If 'Dusty' Miller's excitement is anything to go by, we are all in for a treat.

WARNING: This is the final installment of my ghost hunt fanfiction series. The previous stories in chronological order are: Lost, Blood Slippers, Mistaken Reflection, The Beating of a Heart. If choose to read on without reading those first you may become confused by some of the references made throughout the story. Also rated T with M rated moments.
Hello my dear readers. Sorry for the wait. I've been having some lack of inspiration and ideas that would fit with this story. I thought I had it planned out before, but as you probably know how it goes when you suddenly don't like what you've been working on and feel the need to scrap it and start again. The title was a bit of a problem. "What to call it… what to call it… hmmm…" You see my problem was, with each of my stories in this series I try to come up with a title that reflects the theme or a major plot point in the story and also sounds really cool and make people go "hmmm I am so intrigued by this I will stop scrolling and check it out." The theme of this story is supposed to be about the power of love and over coming obstacles and what we are willing to do for it, but also on a dark note how the power of love can also destroy. So I thought why not a song that title and then I just couldn't decide between them to be the theme and so now I've gone back to my original title from way way way back when I started to write Lost and had decided it would be a series that would end with the power of love essentially. Which I believe in, even though my love life is a big fat ZERO… but that's another story another day. Anyways without much further ado I present: Love: The final installment of the Lost series. A Ghost Hunt Fanfiction. Please Review.
Chapter 1
Mai stood back stage waiting for her queue. She felt her adrenaline pumping. Her heart racing. She may have been a professional, but before every performance she could feel the excitement and anticipation build. Maybe that was why she was regarded as one of the elite in her field.
In dance, learning the choreography and being able to perform it perfectly did not make you a dancer. No, that was only half of the equation. Being able to not only accomplish the physical, but also bringing the emotions and energy is what transforms it into an art form.
Every time Mai danced, she immersed herself in the dance itself feeling each step as if it were breaths of life. She would feel the raw emotions of her character and lose herself in it. What made her different than the other elites? She had often wondered this because she was not the first or only ballerina to use her emotions and energy in her dancing. But for some reason, as she has been told, it seemed so real to those who watched her. "It's like being pulled into a dream and not knowing reality from fantasy" said one critic of her performance in La Sylphide.
Yes, when she danced, she herself has often felt transported to another physical world. A world in which the ballet was real along with its characters and story. At times when she danced she could feel an extraordinary force fueling her, giving her an other worldly exuberance.
Her music began signaling her moment to enter the stage. Tonight's performance was the tragically beautiful love story of Romeo and Juliet. Mai found herself caught in the illusion. She was now Juliet standing on her balcony hoping that her Romeo feels as deeply in love with her as she is with him.
Then he makes his presence know, starling her. He loves her, but how does she know he is sincere in his feelings? He is the son of the sworn enemy of her father. She runs to down to greet him. His love is shown in the way he moves gentle and fluid.
The spot lights are no longer spotlights, but the twinkling of stars in the night. They are no longer two dancers, but a man and a woman passionately in love, willing to do anything just to be with each other. The scenery becomes a garden where the young lovers lyrically move together in the enchanting moonlight.
Juliet sees only her Romeo. While the audience sees a blond haired Romeo on stage, This Juliet sees her Romeo, a raven haired man with piecing blue eyes that can read the depths of her soul…..
The is at its final moments. Juliet wakes to see her Romeo dead. Poison has taken him away from her. She feels the despair and kisses him hoping some poison clings to his lips, enough to take her to him. But to dismay it does not. She takes the dagger and raises it up. Its blade glints in the light. Her hands tremble with anticipation. There is no fear in her tearful eyes, just determination. She slowly closes her eyes and take her final breath before plunging the dagger into abdomen and falling next to her beloved.
The crowd roars with applause. Back stage Mai rises off the ground. She and the other cast members excitedly hug one another before taking their places for the curtain call. The curtain rises and the male principle walk out. He bows and she curtseys gracefully. The rest of the cast appears and take their bows. Mai look out to audience. She looks straight at the special box closet to the stage. There he sits, her blue eyes raven hair Romeo, clapping smiling. His eyes are only for her. The illusion was over the moment the curtain fell, but the magical spell of their love, has yet to be broken.
Opening night of every show there was always a party. The guest list usually included the cast and crew, the producers, the other investors, patrons, and anyone else who paid or donated enough. So of course the parties were always formal and extravagant. Before arriving at said parties, Mai's prep work included: shower, hair, mark up, and apparel. Miraculously she managed this in an hour. She was thankful that her dressing room had a private bathroom.
Hair pulled up in an elegant up do, wearing a designer gown and shoes, and actually wearing make up and jewelry, Mai entered the ballroom on the arm of her favorite narcissist. Who by the way always looked handsome, but was particularly stunning in his tuxedo.
"Hmmm.." Mai sighed and moved in closer to Naru.
"Something on your mind?" he asked as they navigated through the guest.
"I was just thinking how wonderful this feels. You know being able to get dressed up and go out." Mai answered and sighed again. Naru chuckled.
"I'm surprised and impressed." He said. Mai lifted her head and looked puzzled.
"Why's that?" she asked.
"You're not running off to check on the twins. In fact you haven't mentioned them so far this entire evening." He smiled. "Have you enough of the domestic life?" he teased her.
"Of course not." She huffed and turned her head up in dramatic fashion. "I take my role as a mother very seriously."
"Oh really?" Naru raised his eyebrow playfully at her. "A serious and devoted mother would never of dream of leaving the house for an evening and not check in at least every 15 minutes."
"As one such serious and devoted mother, I have made sure that my children are safe and sound while I am not around by leaving them in the care of Ayako and Monk." Mai tried to be serious, but couldn't sticking her tongue out at him. "So there, Mr. Narcissist."
"If I'm Mr. Narcissist than as my wife, that makes you Mrs. Narcissit." He continued to tease her. Naru was more than happy to keep this mood up. Given the recent turn of events, he and Mai had had so many serious conversations. The entire day had gone off without a single occurrence.
They so desperately need a break. Poor Mai had been on edge since her accident. That was when it all began to start up. The visions and the nightmares. Mai's black outs came at random moments and there was no way to plan for them.
Since then, Naru had quit taking on cases and stayed home with Mai and the twins. Mai could not be left alone and she knew that with two infants she could not take the risk.
"Naru, please you have to promise me." Mai pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Mai, these people are our family as you insist, so why shouldn't we inform them? They could have some ideas about-"
"They won't." Mai said as she turned away from him. "They can't help me. No one can. If there is a way it has to be from me."
"But Mai-" Naru tried to speak.
"I know I have you and I know I'm not alone." She paused. "What I'm trying to say is that I have to be the one to fight this and I don't know how. I don't know why I can't shake this-this thing! UUGGHH!" she growled in frustration before regaining composure and moving closer to Naru. "But I do know one thing.."
"And that is?" Naru asked as her embraced her tightly.
"I know that if I'm going to win, I am going to need you more than ever." Mai answered.
"You have me, Mai. Forever and always." He pulled her face to his. She smiled at him and he felt his heart skip a beat.
"Eternity." She said.
"Eternity." He repeated and they began to kiss.
End of Flashback.
First chapter hope you guys liked it. I really don't want to disappoint you guys who have been with me from the beginning and been so supportive. Please review.

What's better than Deborah Lippmann's award-winning, sweet-smelling, totally effective lacquer remover? That same product in handy to-go packets—keep them in your desk for emergency chipped polish removal or tote them with you on your next trip.
I was pretty happy when i received this sample because i was packing to leave to san fran when my birchbox arrived. Earlier that day i was stressing about my nails~ LOL. I really didn't want to sit down and waste time with the finger nail polish remover and toilet paper when all of a sudden heaven arrived. I was extremely thankful :) it was very easy to use, it removed all the old chipped nail polish and i had a great time in san fran with one less worry! yay me! and kudos to Deborah Lippmann, for creating such a clever little product!4
I used it on the nails on my left hand. It only lasted that long although it said that one could work on 10 digits. I liked the smell. It wasn't all chemically like what I normally use. I just think that it should come in a bottle because I am not really a on the go nail care kind of person.5
This product really WORKS. It smells great and doesn't dry out your hands; more importantly, one "mitt" can easily remove the darkest and most stubborn of polishes (elbow grease not required). The packaging is convenient and perfect for your purse, your office desk, your travel bag... unfortunately, its pretty cost prohibitive, so I can't imagine purchasing it myself. A great treat in this month's Birchbox though, and would be a great gift/stocking stuffer if you wanted to spoil your friends.5
The product was great. One "mitt" removed all of the polish from both hands and both feet. It removed fairly easy and I found it to be more effective at removal than a standard cotton ball and polish remover. However, at two dollars a mitt i can't say it is worth purchasing when a cotton ball and polish remover will still work for me.4

NFL: Jacksonville vs Buffalo
Battle between two terrible teams. I'm taking Buffalo but their defense is awful. I just don't think the Jags can handle Spiller. MJD still isn't playing and Jennings is back in this week. All comes down to their passing game although Buffalo is terrible against the run. I just don't think Jennings is that good.
Sent from my iPhone using Verticalsports.com App
All Buffalo, 34 to 18.
Spiller and Jackson played so well this week. I think the Jags could have done better had Shorts not gotten a concussion. They had a few possessions to make something happen but Blackmon was locked down all day.

Many people recognize that the increasing number of automobiles is choking our cities--polluting our air, endangering our streets, and isolating us from our communities. This book shows how resurgent cities could make cars work again, and even solve problems ranging from oil wars to urban decay, rising seas to violent crime. Not just an analytic approach to economic and environmental urban concerns, The Car and the City is an offbeat journey through three great metropolises. Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver--by car, train, bicycle, and foot. It's a fascinating conversation with people who are quietly, but radically, rearranging the furniture of the modern city.

Perhaps you've noticed that I've added a little (non-Virtual Earth) map to my blog. Well, as the story goes…I'm always crawling the web for maps. Obviously, I have some kind of passion (read as obsession) with online mapping. So, I come across this little map with dots on it that is appearing on a lot of the blogs. Yes, I'm aware of ClustrMaps. What was most interesting is that as I was discovering this whole WorldMaps/ClustrMaps thing this guy from inside Microsoft was talking about WorldMaps on one of the internal aliases. So, I emailed him and said, "DUDE! You're Microsoft. Why don't you use Virtual Earth maps?!?" Well, that was a good idea so he did it. And, now WorldMaps is available in both his static map and Virtual Earth map views. Money.
That "he" is Brian Hitney, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist out of North Carolina who runs the Structure Too Big site. The service is free to sign up and all you need to do is drop a little map image (some HTML) on your page and his service will track all of the IPs requesting the image and produce a report for you. You can see this report by clicking on the map image itself (go ahead, click the map image). The map image even gives you a little ranking against other WorldMaps users. I'm currently 51, but was 79 just 4 days ago! Eh-hem, anyway, the report shows you on a map where your usage is coming from around the world and how many hits you're getting from those respective countries, cities, states, where ever the IP is originating.
The blue icon indicates where I am (Redmond, WA). Green, yellow and red icons depict traffic levels. What this tells me is that at this zoom level there are a lot of people from the respective locations reading the blog. If you zoom in you can see that there are areas with green icons and just one IP making a single connection to the blog. Like my single reader in Namibia! You're my boy, Blue! Anyway, the tool is super useful for tracking where my readers are coming from. Also, seeing this correlates to the people who are interested in Virtual Earth – what I'm going chalk up as good aerial/map coverage vs. bad coverage. We have crappy maps in most of Africa, so people in Africa aren't really going to be to interested in Virtual Earth until we do have good maps. Although, MapCruncher can always be a solution for that and the GoVE program will help if you have imagery you want us to use for you. So, get WorldMaps and slap it on your web site(s). It's free. And, yes, I've told Brian about setting the BGCOLOR for the maps so they match. And, he said he'd work on a setting so the Virtual Earth map was the default instead of his static map. Thanks Brian!

Monday marks the deadline for registrants of this year's Starke County Young Artists' Conference, after the Knox chapter of the Psi Iota Xi Sorority announced they would be extending the deadline from Friday.
Chapter President Tammy Fletcher said this event is a great opportunity for children to learn more about possible careers or opportunities in life. It was previously an event hosted by teachers of area schools, but it eventually came to a halt. Fletcher, however, said it was too great of a program to let it end.
"I just thought it's a wonderful opportunity for the kids to learn about something more than reading, writing and arithmetic, and that there are more jobs and opportunities out there for them than just being a doctor, a nurse, fireman or something like that – I wanted them to see that there are many possibilities of things that they can do with their life," Fletcher said.
This year marks the 19th Annual Young Artists' Conference at the Liberty Elementary School in North Judson. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. and runs through 2 p.m. CT.
This year's keynote speaker for the opening program is Shannon Anderson, a literacy coach, author, and presenter from Rensselaer. She has been published in Highlights Magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and has a picture book entitled, I am Not a Pirate.
On top of that, Fletcher said a number of other presenters will be there as well.
"Every year is different. We have different presenters, the children split up into two groups and there are four presenters for each group. In the afternoon we have a program that the whole family is invited back to see, usually 45 minutes to an hour. This year, we have Adzooks Puppets, and they are lifesize puppets who make musical instruments out of strange things and they invite some of the children down from the audience to help them play the instruments," Fletcher said.
Registration forms are available at local schools, libraries, and the Starke County Youth Group. A mid-morning snack and lunch is included in the price of registration.

Jazz up the home for the holidays with these unique decorating ideas!
If you're looking to get the house "holiday" ready, here are several ideas to make it beautiful and welcoming to your guests. Here are five simple holiday decorating ideas.
Decorating Ideas for the Holidays
- Hang something on your front door. Try pine cones and ribbon or a Christmas wreath.
- Add decorations to a glass jar. Place a few ornaments inside a cookie jar to give it a holiday feel.
- Place a simple centerpiece on the dining room table. A few snowmen angels, a small pine cone tree, or candle with a pine cone tree holder will work just fine.
- Hang stockings or change pillows. Add a few details to the mantlepiece, fireplace or couch with handmade or special crafted stocking and holiday pillows.
- Put new towels in bathroom. Just by adding red or peppermint striped hand towels in the bathroom add just a bit of cheer to the entire house.
These are just a few quick ways to decorate your home for the holidays. It's beginning to feel a a lot like the holiday season.

It's not worth rehashing the ins and outs of the "Ghostbusters" reboot saga, but here goes… A small but very vocal and determined contingent of dorks who have held onto their Slimer lunchboxes well into adulthood were very upset that their favorite childhood movie was rebooted, with icky girls cast in the lead roles! So it was up to the movie to speak for itself, and sadly Paul Feig's effort with Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy and Kate McKinnon didn't quite cut it.
READ MORE: Forget The Sexes: Gender Is The Least Of The New 'Ghostbusters' Concerns
Screen Junkies have given the Honest Trailer treatment to the flick, and they break down the problems with the movie, starting with the fact that "everyone plays comic relief at the same time." As they note, each lead is given a quirky personality and comedy type, but no one plays an understated role or takes the Egon role, so to speak, resulting in an onslaught of gags but little chemistry between the team. But is "Ghostbusters" the absolute worst comedy ever? Nah. As Screen Junkies adds, if anything it proved that women can star in middling franchise products, just like men.
Check out the Honest Trailer and share you thoughts in the comments section.

Sullivan County Sheriff's Office to be featured on national TV
National Geographic channel films documentary/reality show called Southern Justice
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - From blue lights to Hollywood lights -- the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department is set to be featured in a TV reality show on Tuesday night. It all started with a call from the National Geographic channel.
"I thought it was a joke at first, if you want to know the truth," Sheriff Wayne Anderson said. "But, it turns out it wasn't a joke and it was a very big firm in Hollywood that wanted to do this. I said, well, let's try it and see how it works."
The show is called Southern Justice and it profiles what it's like to ride along on calls with sheriff's officers in a southern town. TV crews spent several weeks along for the ride with patrolman-detective Sam Matney.
He tells us they filmed footage about as close to reality as you can get. "This is definitely not a scripted-type show," Matney said. "Whereas a lot of the reality shows say they're reality but in fact they're very scripted, this was not."
Scripted or not, it seems cop reality shows are almost everywhere you turn on the dial. But Sheriff Anderson tells us this one will be different since Nat Geo will also showcase much of the scenery and positive aspects of the county. "It's not just going to be patrol all the time," Anderson said. "Arresting a drunk or whatever. They'll show a lot of different things about the county and we're selling our county to the world."
For now, the Southern Justice show will air as a pilot. Depending on viewing numbers, it could become a series in the fall. This department will be especially tuned in, and ready to deal with possible newfound fame.
"Whether this show becomes famous or not, whether people know me or not, I'll still be just simple me. I'll keep doing my job no matter what," Matney said.
"A majority of the people in Sullivan County already know me," Lieutenant Jeff Parker added. "So I don't really see a problem with it."
Look for the Southern Justice show starring the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office Tuesday night, April 15 at 10 p.m., and again at midnight on the National Geographic channel.

He reached Glasgow at 5am. He couldn't remember much of the journey but there was lots of scribbles from, he presumed, the permanent marker lying without a lid on the passengers seat. In the back he had three shopping bags that he could see, one of them full of beer with some open bottles.
He wasn't so sure about his plan now, but the 300 miles back seemed worse than knocking on the door of an old friend at five in the morning.
Strangely enough, his friend was awake.
"No bloody way! Charles, man, what the hell you doin' here?"
"Ah, tell me later, I got some mates round. I mean, we're all coming down a bit now, but the conversation is still ripe, and there's some smoke."
"Excellent stuff. Tell you what, I'll put the kettle on, no sugars right? And you can just park your arse on one of the bean bags, or hey, you could be crazy and use a chair!" He started to laugh, slightly manically, but Charles knew this man. This was the ordinary.
"So, anyway," One of his friends piped up. "If you think about the way alcohol is treated on this island, and the completely different way drugs are treated on this island, it's quite obvious to see where the problems are coming from and how a solution can be made."
"Aye, well, we would first need a feckin' MP to stand up, make these valid points, and try to keep it quiet if he's a damn pothead himself!" The skinhead who said this then passed the joint to Charles. The others looked at him, maybe waiting for a comment or insight from the newcomer. Maybe they knew he was a teacher. Would that work for him or against him, he wondered. Before he could further his thoughts, his friend came back with the tea.
"Are these guys trying to make you think we should legalize all drugs then, Charles?" He passed the cuppa to Charles. "Aye, they have good points but how long would it be until we corrupted that system? Five years down the line, ten? Would all the new chemical drugs be allowed? If so, what would be created next? It's opening a scary hole"
"Yeah..." Charles managed. "Look, I've had a really long journey." He passed the joint on. "Would there be anywhere I could crash for a bit, I've got a favour I need to ask of you and I feel it's going to take a lot of explaining and a clearer head."
"Aye, right, well then. I'm practically messing my pants with anticipation like, but we's full up here. No room at the inn an' all that."
"Yeah, I should've realised, sorry. Right, sod it. I'll be back, well, whenever I wake up, you'll probably see the light of day first, trust."
He muttered some goodbyes and stumbled out of the door. He got into the backseat of his car and moved all of the beer bottles and bags into the boot. And with that, he instananeously fell into a dreamless sleep, sprawled out in the backseat of his car.

Rivera didn't miss the deadline; he withdrew his appeal
Yesterday, in this post, I noted CAAF's dismissal of a petition for lack of jurisdiction. I speculated that the absence of jurisdiction was caused by the appellant and his counsel missing the petition deadline.
My speculation was wrong. The pleadings (discussed below) reveal that the deadline wasn't missed. Rather, prior to petitioning CAAF, the appellant withdrew his appeal.

My question is this: I have very little installed on my hard drive but the memory is nearly full and my laptop is being VERY slow. How can I free up the memory of all the junk and speed my system up? I've done all the normal things but the problem is still there and frustrating me. I've even tried 'pagefile.sys'. But don't really know what I'm doing with that. A friend suggested 'Treesize' too, but again not sure what I'm doing with it either. I've even tried reinstalling Windows but a it won't let me, an error message, I can't remember the error number, appears. Please help! Cheers, Lance.

We invest in untapped potential. The unique challenge of The Pitch is to come up with a contemporary film idea that draws on the Bible for inspiration. We have top advice to get the creative juices flowing and a production budget, production support and prizes waiting for the best ideas. This year sees an increase in our outstanding fund for the winning film to £30,000.
The Pitch 2017 competition launches on 1 June, but it's never too early to start planning, and reviewing the pitches in this year's competition long list, they might just trigger an idea for your pitch. Or why not check out one of our Masterclasses: Film Matters in the meantime?
To find out our latest news, read our latest blog entry
"There are a lot of people walking around in London or Hollywood with ideas in their heads, but to actually get to execute your idea puts you in the top 5% ... it's so hard to raise money, so hard to find £25,000 to shoot your film, it's a great calling card."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I would can them. Peel and cut into big pieces that will fit in the jars. Once you can them they are pretty well cooked and ready to just open and dump into soups and stews all winter! It's wonderful...

"The reward of a thing well done is having done it." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see. [John Newton (1725-1807)]
I've canned a lot of potatoes. Also hashed them & soak in salt water for a few minuets & drain, then freeze them in a vacuum packer. The salt water wash keeps them from discoloring. I have also sliced them real thin & dried them. When I dry them, I soak them in lemon juice to prevent discoloring. All three ways work for me.
If you have a dryer use that, they work very well in soups ect. With the drought price raise coming you are lucky to have them to dry or freeze. Good luck, let us know what you did and how it worked for you.
I always par-boil and freeze either diced or sliced potatoes, but would not be comfortable trying with the whole potato unless they were very small
There are so many ways to cook potatoes, and most of them will freeze well after the potatoes are cooked.
I freeze scalloped potatoes and mashed potatoes. I mash my potatoes as usual (with milk) and put french onion soup mix in them or sour cream and onion. They taste wonderful. You can also make them this way and warm them the next day for pot lucks or big family parties.
Here are two recipes I found in our church cookbook:
Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes: 5 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed; 2 (3oz.) packages cream cheese; 8 ounces sour cream; 1/2 c. milk; 2 tsp. onion salt; black pepper to taste.
Cook potatoes until tender; drain and mash. Add other ingredients and put into large casserole dish. Then bake or store for several days in fridge. Bake for 50 min. in 325 degree oven. (Or remove from refrigerator, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes and bake as above.)
Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes: 3 lbs. russet (Idaho) potatoes: scrub but do not peel; 1 1/2 c. half and half; salt to taste; 6 T. butter. Cook potatoes until tender. Heat half and half. Process unpeeled potatoes through a fool mill. Mash well. Add salt and and half and half and beat until smooth and fluffy. Cool and refrigerate up to 2 days. 30 min. before serving, microwave until warm. Stir in butter. Set over simmering water to keep warm until serving time.

I have peeled, cut up, boiled, then mashed with nothing added. Then I put them in quart zip lock bags and freeze.(Make sure you get all the air out of the bags.) when I want to use them, I put then in a big bowl or dish with cool water to thaw enough to squeeze them out of the Baggie, then I can add whatever I need to use them for soup, potato pancakes, mashed, shepherds pie, etc. Just remember to reheat slowly or you get fried mashed potatoes.
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
Boil your potatoes with the skin on till done remove from hot water and let cool then peel them and grade them into hash browns. I use to freeze them this way and put in a quart zip lock bag. When cooking them I would put them on cookie sheet and top with butter and bake them while they were frozen.
www.canninggranny.com to learn how. They have turned out sooo good and every time we go to see the grandkids they want a couple of jars....so easy to use.

An overwhelming 77% of SMBs run a version of Windows Server today - that's approximately 22.5 million servers. More than half (57%) of that install base is Windows Server 2003, a ten year old server operating system. Additionally, mid-size businesses are seeking ways to increase their competitiveness. Upgrading your aging servers and operating systems can reduce costs and provide significant benefits that can easily outweigh any cost of upgrading.
My current solution works fine. Why should I want to upgrade?
If you're running Windows Server 2003, you're running 10 year old technology. Substantial improvements have been made in those 10 years that help businesses compete better in today's marketplace.
Outdated servers can be inefficient to run and more expensive to maintain. Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 allows you to modernize and standardize your IT infrastructure and consolidate servers. Results can include:
- Reduced operational costs and increased efficiencies
- Improved employee productivity
- Ability to be cloud-ready

J., Stoolmiller, M., Harn, B. A., Wanzek, J., Vaughn, S., Linan-Thompson, S., & Kame'enui, E. K. (2008). Journal of Learning Disabilities, 41(2), 174-188. A collaboration study with University of Texas at Austin 6 Predicting Later Reading Outcomes Examining variables related to predicting 3rd Grade performance on the SAT-10 within the context of supportive, tiered instructional support systems Unalterable Variables/Demographics: Gender, English Language Learner, Ethnicity, Special Education status Findings: Females performed lower; African American performed lower than Caucasians; no effect of ELL, Sped Status Student Variables: Behavior: Social Skills, Problem Behaviors, Academic Competence Findings: Students with more Problem Behaviors performed lower; Students with higher ratings of Academic Competence performed better; no effect for general Social Skills Initial Literacy Skills (Scores in First Grade): LNF, PSF, NWF, WRMT; Growth/slope on ORF across grades 1-3; Spring of First Grade ORF Findings: Fall/Spring PSF; WRMT, Spring 1st Grade ORF; Growth/slope ORF (best predictor) 7 Predicting Later Reading Outcomes Overall model including all predictors accounted for: 71% of variance on SAT10 77% of Spring 1st ORF 11% of Growth on ORF Growth on ORF is the best predictor of performance on SAT-10; however, with the variables included in this analysis we account for little for how growth occurs. Something not measured is significantly influencing reading growth, what might this be? Other demographic variables not measured Other early student skill variables not measured The nature of the instructional experiences that occurred across the 3 years and experiences in kindergarten (how to capture or quantify?) 8 Understanding and Maximizing Instructional Experiences The Importance of Coordinating & Orchestrating Instructional Supports Aligning Instruction Within grade, across contexts Across grade Supporting advanced reading and accelerating struggling readings across grades Instructional Time General education and Title Supporting transitions across programs/materials Maximizing the minutes Intensifying early to reap long-term rewards Effective Personnel Importance of regular, target professional development "Coaching" approach to fine tune support Delivering programs, using materials, behavior management 9 Features to Vary in Intervention Implementation Varying the Intensity in Implementation from Easy to Hard Instructional Delivery: explicit, systematic teacher wording; error correction; prioritized content; scaffolded support; and prioritized content (Foorman & Torgesen, 2001;Harn, Kameenui, & Simmons, 2005) Programs/materials vary significantly in breadth (range of skills) and depth (explicitness of delivery) Group Size: Increases opportunities to respond, receive feedback, and enables targeting to student needs While 1-1 is seen by some as ideal, it isn't necessarily more effective than groups of 3-5 (Elbaum, Vaughn, Tinajero, & Watson-Moody, 2000) Resource allocation, scheduling, personnel challenges Time: A common approach is to provide additional time; however, it isn't necessarily just more time, but how the time is spent Teaching the same skills, re-teaching—firming learning Extending skills—accelerating learning Simmons, et al. (2008) found that the most at risk kindergarteners made significantly more growth when provided 30 rather then 15 minutes of explicit, systematic intervention 10 Aligning Instructional Supports: Content, time, emphasis, and delivery Summary of System-Level Features Year 01 (2002-2003): Examined the features, components, and characteristics of primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions in grades K-1 in 9 elementary schools. Data collected included: Observations of reading instruction across primary, secondary, and tertiary settings (Winter & Spring) Student achievement in K & 1 (DIBELS, WRMT-R) Programmatic/curricular, planning and support, group size, time allocated, etc. Summary: Even within both districts implementing a systems approach to reading, there were differences Across Districts: Time spent on different instructional objectives (e.g., vocabulary), many different reading interventions within and across tiers Within Districts: Great variability in instructional focus and approach within and across tiers(e.g., general and special education and Title) Time, number of instructional objectives, frequency of 12 opportunity to respond; Number and type of interventions Examining Instructional Alignment to Promote Generalization First Grade: Examined the efficiencies of aligning instructional supports across settings (general education and supplemental) compared to prior year (historical control) Secondary Supports: 30-minute small group intervention What was taught – word reading, phonics, and fluency development How it was taught – small group (<6); used core reading materials yet skills were strategically chosen (re-teach) and taught using more explicit instructional delivery and opportunities to respond Tertiary Supports: 60 minute small group intervention What was taught – phonological awareness, word reading, phonics, and fluency development How it was taught – small group (<5), program was designed to follow similar skills used in core program yet with more explicit instructional delivery, opportunities to practice and review 13 Effects of Aligning Instructional Supports on Established Systems Word ID Word AT 14 Effects of Aligning Instructional Supports on Established Systems Pass Comp Total Reading 15 Variability in School-Level Outcomes for At-Risk Students School A School B When examining the alignment of instructional supports in first grade, two schools who did the "same things" (time, programs, groupings) got very different results both: across years (compared to themselves) across sites (compared to each other) Why might this happen? 16 Intensifying Instruction: Does Additional Instructional Time Make a Difference for the Most At-Risk First Graders? Harn, B. A., Linan-Thompson, S., & Roberts, G. (2008). Journal of Learning Disabilities, 41(2), 115-125. Joint Analyses with University of Texas at Austin 17 The Effect of Intensifying Instructional Time 1st grade students most at-risk for reading difficulties (i.e., PSF<11 or NWF<10) Context: Both Universities were working in schools implementing multi-tiered models of instructional supports University of Oregon: Implemented tier 3 supports within a prevention framework in first grade (60 minutes of intervention) University of Texas at Austin: Implemented tier 2 supports within a prevention framework in first grade (30 minutes of intervention) Descriptives in the Fall Results by Location.

The silent army of low readers who move through our schools, siphoning off the lion's share of administrative resources, emerge into society as adults lacking the single prerequisite for managing their lives and acquiring additional training. They are chronically unemployed, underemployed, or unemployable. They form the single largest identifiable group of those whom we incarcerate, and to whom we provide assistance, housing, medical care, and other social services. They perpetuate and enlarge the problem by creating another generation of poor readers." (Fielding, Kerr, & Rosier, 1998). states are using the percent of non-readers in 3rd grade in determining the number and size of prisons Some Conclusions Students at risk for reading difficulties "do not discover" what teachers leave unsaid about the complexities of word learning (Gaskin, Ehri, Cress, Ohara, & Donnelly, 1997, p. 325)" Struggling readers need instruction that is "more intensive, more relentless, more precisely delivered, more highly structured, and direct and more carefully monitored for procedural fidelity and effects" (Kavale, 1988, p. 335) 32 References Chard, D. & Harn, B.
