Whenever fans and media start dissecting the pros and cons of superstar athletes, one of the considerations is usually whether they made their teammates better. Robert Horry, who won seven NBA championships including three with the Lakers, was just asked at a Thuzio function if Kobe Bryant made him a better player.
Flanked by fellow NBA champs Robert Parish of the Celtics and Bill Cartwright of the Bulls, Horry says plenty with two different two-word non-answers. And notice how Horry's responses also manage to get the famously stoic Parish to start cracking up.

Cat behaviour that I don't get!
Hello everyone... I've had my rescue cat for almost a year now and I was wondering if anyone knew or could guess why she displays some of her tendencies.
In short, I only see my cat at night time. She comes in for some petting and is quick to purr, even lick my hands/face (never knew a cat to do that)... she will only come if I am seated or in bed.
Our morning starts with her being fed by my g/f. She seems to be terrified and obsessed by my feet (i'm 6'2 and size 12). She will run under the couch and stay there for the better part of the day. We return from work, she greets us at the door... sees my feet and runs away again... only to come over hours later.
Whats the deal? Why is she seemingly terrified of me 12 hours of the 15 hours I am awake?

If she was a stray she might have had bad experiences with a male human before; these things can have residual side effects for years. Also, your cat is nocturnal, which is normal for wild cats. I have a cat that licks faces also, which means that she was separated from her mother quite young. They like licking arm and leg hair too; it's their way of grooming you. It sounds like she knows you're her human. If you had her before the girlfriend and you're seeing less of the cat now, it's because she doesn't want to share, but will not bite the hand that feeds her either... ^_^

Many companies see budgeting as a time-consuming exercise of limited value. Some are resorting to a radical fix: getting rid of the budget.
Russ Banham, CFO Magazine
September 1, 2012
I agree that the budget process is flawed, at times even counterproductive especially in large organizations where meeting those target goals equals receiving a large incentives or going empty handed. However, the process of setting goals and tracking your progress towards those goals is crucial for any size business, from the small one man operation to the multinational corporation. Without goals a company would not be able to define their direction and chart a course to success, Therefore I think having a budgeting meeting is still important as a ?check in? process to evaluate where a business is in comparison to their original objective. I am just not sure that the incentives created around reaching goals especially for sales people are very effective. Joseph Serrone
Posted by JOSEPH SERRONE | June 17, 2013 07:00 pm
It is time for organizations to move beyond this time consuming low value add model. I look at IT in most cases you could do the budget or beyond a budget on the back of a napkin. Headcount, Hardware, software and Professional services. Depending on capitalization you can prioritize the project and execute. The best in class use Balance Scroecards and Activty based costing but for those yet to get to that level. The above might take a month consider exectuive engagement and strategy translation.

Utah study finds Oregon pikas adapted to living lower
Biologists have been concerned about the effects of climate change on pikas, small, rabbit-like mammals that live primarily above 8,200 feet, but University of Utah researchers, who learned of pikas living in Oregon in the Columbia Gorge near sea level, have found that the pikas may be more adaptive than given credit, as that Oregon population appears to be thriving on low-nutrient moss.

Companies work to capture Bakken oil drilling byproduct
A lack of infrastructure to help capture and transport the natural gas that is produced along with the oil in North Dakota's Bakken formation means enough natural gas to heat one million homes is flared into the atmosphere each year, but General Electric and Statoil, the Norwegian oil giant, are working on a mobile device to capture the natural gas emissions, strip out valuable liquids like butane and propane, put those in tanks and then compress and store the gas in a box, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe is testing using natural gas instead of diesel in its locomotives.

February 01, 2006
Recommendation 108B, offered by the Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities, "urges Congress to pass legislation to establish a process to provide federal recognition and to restore self-determination to Native Hawaiians." This would be "defined as an authority similar to that which American Indian and Alaska Native governments possess under the Constitution to govern and provide for the health, safety, and welfare of their members."
Recommendation 106E, sponsored by the Tort, Trial, and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS), urges the ABA to support the "proper care and treatment of animals as an essential part of the response to any disaster or emergency situation as part of any emergency preparedness operational plan."
The Sections of Family Law and Individual Rights & Responsibilities and the Commission on Homelessness and Poverty sponsor Recommendation 102 to oppose "legislation and policies that prohibit, limit, or restrict placement into foster care of any child on the basis of sexual orientation of the proposed foster parent when such foster care placement is otherwise determined to be in the best interest of the child."
Recommendation 103, offered by the Standing Committee on Medical Professional Liability and the Sections of Dispute Resolution, Litigation, and TIPS, urges the ABA to reaffirm "its opposition to legislation that places a dollar limit on recoverable damages that operates to deny full compensation to a plaintiff in a medical malpractice action." Furthermore, the ABA is urged to recognize "that the nature and extent of damages in a medical malpractice case are triable issues of fact." The sponsors also oppose the creation of "health courts."
Speaker Highlights
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan
Theodore C. Sorensen, Special Counsel to President John F. Kennedy
Seventh Circuit Judges Richard Cudahy, Frank Easterbrook and Diane P. Wood
Chicago lawyer Barry Sullivan
Former ABA President Jerome Shestack, recipient of Robert F. Drinan Service Award
Program Topics
Racial & Ethnic Equity for Victims of Katrina: "A panel of lawyers, journalists, community activists, educators, politicians and Katrina survivors will strategize, analyze and discuss what we can do individually and collectively to resolve critical problems confronting the victims of Hurricane Katrina with respect to housing, employment, insurance, education, health benefits, bankruptcies, discrimination and other vital services and needed resources."
Our Mothers, Our Sisters, Our Daughters, Ourselves - Into the Forefront: The Current Role of Minority Women in the Struggle for Civil Rights: "A panel of today's civil rights heroines will share their insight on what efforts they are making today, what efforts minority women lawyers can and should make and how each of us can help in the struggle for civil rights."
Post-Katrina Catastrophe! Ecosystem, Structural, Environmental and Insurance Law Challenges
From Dred Scott to Rosa Parks and Hurricane Katrina: Where Do We Go from Here? Constitutional Law through the Eyes of Black America: "This panel will examine historical and modern landmarks surrounding the treatment of blacks in America and their implications for full enfranchisement under law."
The Perfect Storm: Are the Roles and Authorities Adequate for Emergency Response?: "At the height of an emergency, legal authority for executive action by government is at its peak - but so is confusion and, often, even chaos. With Hurricane Katrina, questions concerning government legal authority to act emerged in the midst of the immediate response phase. An avian flu pandemic has the potential to amplify these issues many times over. The program's panel will explore state, local and first responder issues; federalism and constitutional challenges; military involvement; and private sector integration."
Merryman Play: "This 1861 case, which debated the president's power to suspend habeas corpus in wartime vs. that of Congress, has new significance in the post 9/11 world. Panelists will discuss current executive branch actions and recent decisions in light of the historical debate between President Lincoln and Chief Justice Roger Taney."
Advocating for Health Care as a Human Right: Health Care in Prison and Detention: "Although inmates and detainees often have significant health problems, they often receive substandard care, if any. A diverse panel of experts in the law of custody and detention will discuss domestic and international sources of health care law."
Pruning Politics from the Judicial Branch: "In this roundtable discussion, local bench and bar members will discuss improvements in the justice system in light of a bill in the Illinois legislature proposing public financing of appellate judicial elections. Featured speakers are Illinois state Sens. Kirk Dillard and Kwame Raoul."
Dialogue Between Congress and the Judiciary: "U.S. Rep. Judith Biggert (R-Ill.) and Judge D. Brock Hornby, U.S. District Court of Maine, will discuss and debate the role of the legislative and judicial branches and their role in the legal system."
Electronic Eavesdropping: Security v. Privacy: "Sponsored by the ABA Center for Human Rights, this luncheon will feature a keynote address by Morton H. Halperin, director of U.S. Advocacy, Open Society Institute, a private foundation that works to shape public policy on democratic governance, human rights and economic, legal, and social reform. Halperin will speak on 'Electronic Eavesdropping: Security and Privacy.'"
In Other ABA News...
A study conducted by the Death Penalty Moratorium Implementation Project of the ABA Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities concluded that the state of Georgia cannot ensure fairness and accuracy capital cases. The study recommended that Georgia impose a moratorium on both executions and death penalty prosecutions until it could remedy the problems in the system. One dissenter, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia Harry D. Dixon Jr., opposed the call for the moratorium.
In response to the report, ABA President Michael Greco stated, "This conclusion, reached by leaders of Georgia's legal community, underscores the grave risk of injustice and the need for a comprehensive evaluation of Georgia's death penalty system, and the implementation of all necessary reforms."
The study recommended reforms to remedy inadequate funding for defense counsel, failure to provide defense counsel in state habeas proceedings, lack of meaningful review of proportionality of sentences, inadequate pattern jury instructions addressing mitigation, continued existence of racial disparities in capital sentencing, and the unreasonably strict "beyond a reasonable doubt" burden of proof required to prove mental retardation. The state should also determine whether its death penalty system has unacceptable disparities related to race, geography or other factors; establish a statewide clearinghouse to review all decisions to seek the death penalty for proportionality and disparities; and should restrict death sentences to cases where the defendant is found guilty of intentional murder or murder committed with a reckless disregard for human life.
The study did not allege that an innocent individual was ever executed in Georgia. Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue's spokesman, when asked by the media whether the governor would consider a moratorium, stated "nope." Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker also said he did not agree with the call for a moratorium.
The ABA neither supports nor opposes the death penalty, although the Association supports a moratorium on capital punishment.

Mommy said thanks so much to everyone for the presents on my page and the kind words.
Every one she reads she cries.
Thank you so much from our heart to your heart.
I passed to the Rainbow Bridge this morning to be with my Sister Autumn. Mommy is heartbroken but she did what was best for me. I love You Mommy - don't cry.
Today is my Mommy's BD. she is so kind to me and Big Girl. She says she is on something called Social Security and Medicare. I wonder what that is. On 9/16 she fell and broke her shoulder and arm in Walmart.
She says it hurts and will take 3-4 months to heal with PT. She still finds time to give me and Big Girl our medicine and take care of us. She says it is hard but she'll do anything for us. We love u Mommy - xoxoxoo

Exhibitions scheduled at The Frick Collection during 2011.
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is generally acknowledged to be the greatest draftsman of the twentieth century. The Frick Collection, New York, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., co-organized an exhibition that looked at the dazzling development of Picasso's drawings, from the precocious academic exercises of his youth in the 1890s to the virtuoso classical works of the early 1920s.
New Portico Gallery Opened with Presentation of Sculpture and Selections from an Important Promised Gift of Meissen Porcelain from Henry H. Arnhold
When Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) was asked whose talents he would most like to possess, he declared: "Rembrandt's." And as the largest individual railway stockholder in the world, Frick is reported to have said that "railways are the Rembrandts of investment." Like Frick, the Dutch art historian Frederik Johannes Lugt (1884–1970) was a great admirer and collector of works by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669); as a teenager he wrote a biography of the artist, illustrated with his own copies after Rembrandt's most famous works.
Painted at the height of Velázquez's career, the Frick's King Philip IV of Spain (1644) is one of the artist's consummate achievements. Contemporary chronicles as well as bills and invoices in Spanish archives indicate that it was painted in a makeshift studio only a few miles from the frontlines of a battle, and that it was completed in just three sittings. The work, which shows its subject dressed in military costume, an atypical depiction, was sent to Madrid where it was used during a victory celebration.
The greatest Spanish draftsmen from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century — Ribera, Murillo, and Goya, among them — created works of dazzling idiosyncrasy. These diverse drawings, which may be broadly characterized as possessing a specifically "Spanish manner," will be the subject of an exclusive exhibition at The Frick Collection in the fall of 2010.
France has long been fascinated by the Ottoman Empire, and for hundreds of years the taste for turquerie was evident in French fashion, literature, theater and opera, painting, architecture, and interior decoration. Turquerie, a term that came into use in the early nineteenth century, referred to essentially anything produced in the West that evoked or imitated Turkish culture.
One of the most familiar and beloved paintings at The Frick Collection, Giovanni Bellini's St. Francis in the Desert (c. 1480), is also deeply enigmatic. The artist has imagined this medieval saint alone in a stony wilderness, stepping forward from his simple shelter into a golden light that seems to transfigure him spiritually. For centuries, viewers of this masterpiece have puzzled over the meaning of Bellini's composition and have sought explanations in a variety of pictorial and textual sources.

Since 2008, Melbourne's architectural gems have thrown open their doors for one weekend a year as part of Melbourne Open House. This year the Royal Exhibition Building is among the 75 theatres, tunnels, halls, houses and more that will welcome visitors on 30 and 31 July, 2011.

A new interpretive display on the mezzanine level will provide Melbourne Open House crowds with more information as they admire the REB's magnificent murals and arches. It includes wonderful historical pictures of the life and times of Melbourne's World Heritage building – photos of it in the glory days of International Exhibitions, through to its many uses during the mid-20th century, its restoration and World Heritage listing in 2004.
A newly produced documentary exploring the recent reconstruction of the 1880's parterre beds, scroll garden and 'German' garden will be shown in the REB theatrette.

Mixed martial artists sue league, allege antitrust
(Reuters) - Former and current mixed martial artists sued the Ultimate Fighting Championship league on Tuesday, alleging the business has a monopoly on the professional fighting market and limits the potential earnings of its athletes.
The suit, filed in federal court in California by one current and two former fighters, aims to establish a class of fighters who have performed at any UFC event held or broadcast in the United States.
"Through a series of anticompetitive, illicit, and exclusionary acts, the UFC has illegally acquired, enhanced, and maintained dominant positions in the markets," the lawsuit said. "As a result of this scheme, UFC Fighters are paid a fraction of what they would earn in a competitive marketplace."
The complaint estimated that UFC's parent company, Zuffa LLC, which is also named as a defendant, currently sees annual revenues exceeding $500 million.
The UFC said in a statement that it was aware of the suit, but it had neither been served nor reviewed the filing.
"The UFC will vigorously defend itself and its business practices," the statement said.
Plaintiff Cung Le, a middleweight in the league whose suspension over testing positive for outsize levels of human growth hormone was rescinded in October, told ESPN, "They control our career, and that's a choice we as fighters should have. And we don't have that choice."
Former fighters Jon Fitch and Nate Quarry are also plaintiffs in the case.
The complaint said that the UFC also has intimidated and threatened fighters that attempt to work with rival firms or who criticize the league. Continued...

While the Broncos' record-setting offense grabs the headlines, the team has lost its best player on defense for a significant period of time. A Monday MRI confirmed that linebacker Von Miller tore the ACL in his right knee during Sunday's win over the Texans. According to the Denver Post's Mike Klis, it's believed that Miller's knee suffered no damage past the ACL, and "there is hope" that he will be ready to take part in at least some light practice once the Broncos open their 2014 training camp in late July.
Fantasy Analysis:
Miller hasn't put up eye-popping numbers this year -- five sacks in nine games -- and the Broncos went undefeated while Miller served his six-game suspension at the start of the season. But he is a truly special athlete and a dynamic pass-rusher. The Broncos will surely miss him during the playoffs.

Fine Large Chinese Brush Painting Scroll Listed Artist
Directory: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Paintings: Pre 1940: Item # 302605
Please refer to our stock # ChenPQ01 when inquiring.
View Seller Profile
Telephone 508 748 2313
E. Wareham, Ma
Guest Book
A beautifully executed Modern Chinese color brush painting of a lively white bird with expressive eyes going after butterflies. Colophone, signature and seal of the well known artist Chen Pei Chiu, or Chen Pei Qiu (1922- ).
Scroll size 31 1/4 x 85", picture size 25 1/4 x 51", this is a large picture by Chen. Very good condition with no damage except a 2" short tear near top of picture not easily seen. From a New England estate.
Notes: A white bird on white paper is exceptionally difficult using ink brush strokes (which cannot be covered up). Chen is one of the foremost modern Chinese painters of "bird and flower" themes. Of the southern school, she bridged the flowering of the great artists of the early 19-20th centuries, through WWII and the Cultural Revolution disasters. Her paintings appear regularly in the Hongkong sales of the 2 major auction houses, although few are as large as this one.
Interesting colophon roughly translates: "The parokeet came east some years. I fear it may fly home and trimmed the wings. I only let it out of the cage for feeding." This may be an allusion to Chen's own life as an artist.

Can we get a do-over, please?
That's what Google is asking the Webosphere about Buzz, its Twitter-meets-Friendfeed wannabe that launched last February and did an immediate face plant.
The problem with Buzz? Too Much Information. It was a chatty little harpy that couldn't keep its trap shut about who you were talking/chatting/emailing and lord knows what else with. Think of Buzz as the world's most gossipy hairdresser after two margaritas and an Adderall.
After Google got smacked down hard, it apologized and tweaked the service to make the privacy settings more transparent and your personal connections less obvious. And tweaked it again. And again. And maybe again -- I don't know, I lost count.
Yesterday, Google did it one more time, announcing that if you're a Buzz user you will now have the opportunity to confirm that, yes, you really do want to follow the people you're following, and to block any followers who are creeping you out and/or can't stop talking endlessly about nothing.
It's a minor change, but at least it shows that Google understands where it goofed and is (desperately) trying to make amends.
Some folks think the whole Buzz controversy is a lot of noise about very little. Well, maybe this story will change your mind.
Last week, a group called Consumer Watchdog filed a Freedom of Information Act request for records relating to the Buzz account of Andrew McLaughlin, Deputy Chief Technology Officer for the White House. It seems opponents of the Obama administration discovered McLaughlin likes to pal around with his old buddies at Google. Per the teabag-friendly BigGovernment blog:
McLaughlin's Buzz profile (which he quickly made private after his contacts were exposed) is enlightening to say the least. It includes a treasure trove of movers and shakers in high-tech, Internet public policy, and venture capital circles.
But it includes much, much more. At least 28 of the folks Google Buzz pulled from McLaughlin's Gmail contact list are employed by…Google! And, as you can see from the screenshots below (captured before he made his contact lists private) McLaughlin's Gmail appears to include a "who's who" of Google senior lobbyists and lawyers from across the globe...
We are shocked -- shocked! -- to discover that a former lobbyist still has friends at the company he used to lobby for. It's yet another sign of creeping socialism in America. (Although, when the last guys in office did the same thing -- and the guys before that, and the ones before them -- it was a sign of robust capitalism. What a difference a few years and an Hawaiian birth certificate make, eh?)
I digress. The point here: By being a little too generous with its users' personal information, Buzz created unintended problems for at least one of them. And it could do the same thing to people on the other side of the political aisle, or those who don't give a hoot about politics, or you, for that matter.
As Bobby Dylan once sang, keep a clean nose and watch the plainclothes. And when presented a choice between making your information public and private, go with private. You'll thank me later.

What you will love about this home
My home is located in one of the best neighborhoods of Santiago. Very safe, comfortable, transportation to everywhere.
What you will love in the neighborhood
Very close to Alcantara / El Golf area of Santiago de Chile, is located in the commune (location) of Las Condes. Its main streets are: Isidora Goyenechea, Apoquindo, El Bosque, Presidente Riesco y Vitacura.
El Golf area is a modern neighbourhood that mixes residential areas and offices. This space is far quieter than the Providencia or Santiago districts, and claims a completely different style of coffee shops, restaurants and bars. It should be noted that it is also definitively more expensive, but expats consider it worth the extra price.
On weekends, the area is calm. During summer time there are jazz groups playing in different squares, art exhibitions in the street and a regular antique market.
Nowadays, the area is characterized by its offices, restaurants, beauty salons, medical consultants and the most luxurious hotels in Santiago, such as the W, Holiday Inn, Intercontinental, The Ritz Carlton and Atton.
Among its tourist attractions are the Feria de antigüedades de Isidora Goyenechea, the Golf Club Los Leones, la Iglesia Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, the Plaza Perú and the Teatro Municipal de Las Condes.
As for transportation, the sector is crossed by the Metro line 1 (Roja) (alcantara station) as well as it owns severall lines of the public transportation lines from Transantiago, especially through the Av. Apoquindo.

Music to look at vs. music to be listened to
Harriet occasionally posts about concrete and visual poetry, or other work that highlights the visual aspect of reading and composition. Similarly, we came across this blog post by Bibliodyssey, which presents the the "visual context of music." The post consists mainly of scanned pages of graphic musical scores, which evade standard notation and opt instead for the image's more or less abstract relationship to sound. The scores got range: from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, composers have been experimenting with the visual field. How does this relate to poetry? Well, we're not 100% sure, but it seems intuitively as if current discussions surrounding hybridity and typography could be put in proximity with music's continued struggle with the form of its own notation. What could this proximity produce? That's not up to us!

SingTel Makes Good Progress, But Questions Over IT Services Capabilities Remain
Posted by Fred Giron on November 12, 2012
- 773 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Clement Teo, Dane Anderson, Frederic Giron
At an analyst briefing in Singapore on November 7, newly minted SingTel Group Enterprise CEO, Bill Chang, laid out his vision on how the group's reorganization aims to build the foundation for SingTel to become the largest ICT services provider in Asia Pacific in an ambitious five years.
For Sourcing and Vendor Management professionals, here's a quick summary:
- SingTel Group Enterprise: SingTel Business Group, NCS, Enterprise Data and Managed Services (EDMS) and Optus Business (including Alphawest) are now one entity as of 1 Nov 2012.
- Converged capabilities: This organizational transformation converges SingTel's Telco and IT service competencies for a one-stop ICT experience, and simplifies delivery capabilities to enable large scale global deployments. In a nutshell: SingTel is aiming to create a repeatable and more scalable product set.
Some of the flagship new services showcased at the briefing included Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS), Electronic Bandwidth on Demand (eBOD), Global WiFi Roaming Service, and an SME portal called myBusiness.
What It Means For Sourcing and Vendor Management Professionals
SingTel's ICT Services push is commendable, and it has seriously invested in this space over the past few years. Bringing the disparate units under one group is a good move, as it simplifies account management across Singapore, Australia and SingTel's Global teams.
However, more prioritization across its portfolio is needed as SingTel is currently attempting to cover a very broad market landscape. In the future, we believe the company would be well-served by eliminating some service categories or geographies where it is too extended. We recommend that you assess SingTel's capabilities based on these Forrester assessments:
Shortlist for sourcing:
A formidable telco and IT service player in the country
Core strength remains in delivering high quality telecom network services across the region
Government and public sector
A key provider to many government contracts, including Singapore government cloud, and the Education ministry
A new growth sector where they have partnered with Progress Software in the PaaS segment. However, we're unclear about SingTel's capability to attract ISVs, who have other established regional players to work with.
A strong player to SMBs – introduced an SMB portal to help them start their cloud journey (SaaS and procurement of other services)
Needs further evaluation:
Outside Singapore – IT services
Some wins in Australia, China and Hong Kong, but elsewhere, it remains spotty. The Group is up against IT services firms – e.g. IBM, Fujitsu, NEC, TCS – and other telcos – e.g. NTT, Tata Communications, Orange Business Services, Verizon.
Consulting and SI
A lot is asked of NCS and Alphawest; their strengths lie in Singapore and Australia at this point. The Smart Cities solution (SURF) is a promising IP based offering, but questions remain over how SingTel will be able to scale it outside of Singapore, what their IP creation processes are, as well as where they are investing in terms of partnership development.
Another new growth sector, but gaps exist in investment roadmap and execution. Apart from painting scenarios on use cases, we're unclear about how they are developing capabilities in this space, compared to Verizon, which recently bought Hughes Telematics to further their M2M ambitions in the region.
SingTel Group Enterprise should be part of your regional evaluation list for telco and IT services in the areas highlighted above, but you'll need to ask hard questions about capabilities and delivery in newer areas such as PaaS and M2M as well as application services outside of Singapore.
We'll continue to update these developments in the following quarters as SingTel's enterprise plans flesh out. Meanwhile, we believe it has continued to make progress in its efforts to streamline and drive towards an applications- and services-led future.

FEDERER versus Nadal has been superseded. Another, less sexy rivalry has quietly supplanted it between a Spaniard and a Serb, a lefty and righty, a baseliner and a baseliner.
Tomorrow, a weary Novak Djokovic will play Rafael Nadal in a third consecutive grand slam final. Same combatants, different venue. Nadal has never played Federer in three straight finals. Djokovic and Nadal have won the past seven slams. A new order that has almost gone unnoticed.
In the new order, the baseline rules. Forehands and the second serve are huge, and mental hardness matters more than variety, as Djokovic's laborious five set, almost five-hour escape from a tougher Andy Murray attested. And as in most team sports, it is the better defence that tends to prevail.
Djokovic can breathe easier today. At moments last night, he was on the brink of collapse. In third set, the momentum, the crowd and his own enervated, hang-dog body language suggested that the world No1 was about to expire. Later, in the fifth set, he squandered a 5-2 lead and then had break points against him at 5-5.
Thankfully, he did not call for a bogus medical time out during his early struggles, or the match might not have finished yet. This was not an epic. It was an ordeal.
Murray may feel more acutely disappointed than he did in the three grand slams in which he failed. Did he blow it, or did the Djoker deceive us into thinking him deceased? At two sets to one behind, the Serb was in serious strife. His body language and wan appearance suggested he was afflicted with more breathing issues.
At that stage, Murray was up on his toes. He had discovered a mettle that we haven't always seen in matches against the top trio. He was running faster, leaping higher and chasing balls. Even the stony-faced Lendl left his seat.
Murray had won a very long, dramatic and unpredictable third set that lasted longer and had more plot twists than an Agatha Christie movie. By the end of those 88minutes, in which both players blew set points, one fancied that the Scot would get up.
What was striking and significant then was Murray's energy, compared to Djokovic, who was clearly fatigued. Earlier, in the second set, the Serb pointed to his nose, seemingly signalling to his entourage that he had again had difficulty breathing through his nose.
The extent of Djokovic's breathing problem was hard to ascertain, since it had not been an issue in the first set. Now, a fresher Rafa will find out.

Travel Guide Africa Madagascar Toamasina
Toamasina, on the eastcoast of Madagascar, also known by its French name of Tamatave is a badly decaying seaside resort with wide boulevards so badly potholed you would think there had been a war here. It rains a lot too and often the roads appear more like rivers than anything else. The long stretch of beach is uninviting and home to many Zebu (Madagascan hump backed cows) and youths playing football.
On the plus side though it has a relaxed and laid back feel and no matter how much you hate it, you will be sad to leave. Such is the way of the Malagasy people who have an inane ability to put a smile on your face.
Toamasina has a tropical climate with hot and humid weather year round. Temperatures average around 30 °C during the summermonths of November to March, around 25 °C from June to August. Nights are between 23 °C and 17 °C respectively. As Toamasina is located along the eastcoast, there isn't a real dry season, but the second half tends to be somewhat less wet. From December to May averge montly rainfall is around 350 mm. Hurricanes are possible this time of year as well.
There are regular boat services from Mauritius and Reunion to Toamasina. It departs approximately once every two weeks.
Getting around is by one of the hundreds of pousse-pousse, hand drawn rickshaws. Check the price before you get in and bargain hard. There is always one price for locals and a zillion different ones for 'Vazar's', white travellers, depending on how affluent they feel you are.
There are internet cafes in most major towns but dont expect broadband!
See also International Telephone Calls
Abundant phone booths almost everywhere. You can pick up cards in most shops. Calling home can be pretty cheap this way. Mobile phones can be used in towns but rarely in rural areas. You can pick up local sim cards really cheap. Opt for Orange, they have the best coverage. Again, a cheap way of calling home. Pick up top up cards almost everywhere, available from 2,000ar to 50,000ar.
You can have mail sent to you 'poste restante' but takes an eternity with the possibility of not receiving it at all. Likewise sending mail home. Postcards are ok but I have had several letters go amiss.
It is possible to send parcels but make sure you have a post office approved box, take it to the post office, then to the administative building to have the contents listed, then to customs to have it checked and sealed, then back to the post office. You can not send anything consisting of stuff made up of animals, vegetables or minerals. Better to give all your old clothes to the orphanage and take any souveniers in your bag with you.

Sony Ericsson has replaced the old camera sensor with the Exmor R, a new technology that moves the camera's light sensors in front of the diode wiring. This allows for pictures to be taken in low-light conditions inside, eliminating blur and helping the camera focus on the subject. The camera's lens is now set with an aperture of f/2.4 which lets more light in to hit the sensor when you're taking a photo. Snapshots can now be taken by candlelight and still come out looking great. Take a look at the video below which was recorded using the camera on an arc. To better judge the quality of the camera, set your playback to 720p and expand the playback to full screen.
The Sony Ericsson arc will also include a new UI that allows the user to pick among different types of photos and allows for more control over the HD video capture. The new UI also allows the user faster access to certain settings and greater control over the flash.
So while others keep playing the number game with cell phone cameras, you know that the best way to judge the shooter on an handset is to look at the pictures and judge for yourself if a certain model takes the quality of photographs you want.

B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, has produced a report, By Hook and By Crook: Israeli Settlement Policy in the West Bank on "the means employed by Israel to gain control of land for building the settlements." In an accompanying video on the group's web site, prominent Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard explains how the legal system enabled the seizure of West Bank land through a law dating from Ottoman Turkish rule, along with the "revolving transaction" method. Watch:
In the introduction to the report on its site, B'Tselem refers to the declaration of "state land," plus the seizure of private Palestinian land (for more on the latter, read articles on findings by the Israeli groups Peace Now and Yesh Din):
The principal means Israel used for [settlement] was declaration of "state land," a mechanism that resulted in the seizure of more than 900,000 dunams of land (sixteen percent of the West Bank), with most of the declarations being made in 1979-1992. The interpretation that the State Attorney's Office gave to the concept "state land" in the Ottoman Land Law contradicted explicit statutory provisions and judgments of the Mandatory Supreme Court. Without this distorted interpretation, Israel would not have been able to allocate such extensive areas of land for the settlements.
In addition, the settlements seized control of private Palestinian land. By cross-checking data of the Civil Administration, the settlements' jurisdictional area, and aerial photos of the settlements taken in 2009, B'Tselem found that 21 percent of the built-up area of the settlements is land that Israel recognizes as private property, owned by Palestinians.

Prodigy - Kickstarter Launched
Prodigy is and odd game to most of us I guess. It is a tactical RPG that adds an additional playing interface next to your keyboard and mouse. With it you can move figurines that are placed on physical board that is connected to your PC.
More information.
Oh wait, it's only 14 figurines, and in fact there are 17… I want them all with their story!
Are those figurines made of gold perhaps?
Anyway, not only it's too much but it smells like a pay2win scheme. Milking. DLC that is not DLC but is still cut out content sold separately. Anime cards.
With that price and scam strategy I can't possibly back it. Let's see if I'm right that we'll see ebay counterfeit versions with full set of figurines that cost max 20 bucks even before this game gets released.
Not only is it insanely expensive, it's a stupid gimmick. The figurines look neat, I guess, but if I want to play a board game, I'll buy a board game. When I play a cRPG I don't want expensive peripherals, I just want a good game; interesting story, challenging / strategic gameplay, and hopefully something that hasn't been done before (e.g., different setting). It's a shame, because this might have made a decent RPG if you could just play it with a mouse / keyboard…Then again it also seems too focused on multi-player and has a pretty generic fantasy setting / premise, so perhaps it's no great loss to cRPG fans who don't want to drop several hundred dollars to play one game.
Even more recently, I think guitar hero did really well in spite of its bankruptcy, but u-draw…
I was fully on board until we got to "The Ring of Power" reference. Clearly the target audience is just beyond the Pokémon age.
The game looks interesting, but the physical part is a big no for me (all the games I backed in KS I always choosed digital-only tiers)
The computer aspect is somewhat cool, but I'm a bit long in the tooth to be playing tiddly winks. I'll pass.
A side note connected to what I've said above.
One of last year's Kickstarter hits was Pressy:
Asked 40K and gathered almost 700K. What does it do you may check on the link, but the thing important here is that the gadget reward (without shipment) was $17.
Just by seeing it you'll say, hell that's too expensive. Okay, it needs an application, but think about it, in this case it's a software that doesn't include rocket science knowledge and calculations. It can probably be made in just a couple of days!
What happened? Pressy is still in the development cycle - but a copycat product surfaced and is already shipping! I dare to say of a completely same design. With one difference. The price.
You can buy the copycat product for $0,79. You're seeing it right. It's not even one dollar per piece!
You don't believe me? Okay:
Hopefully this will be a school lesson for anyone who tries to pass a kickstarter project with overpriced prototypes.

How walking the Camino changed me posted: 2016-10-19 08:54:00
When my friend asked me to join her walking the Camino de Santiago with a guided tour of one week, I decided why not! I always wanted to have a walking holiday so it's something that I could tick off my bucket list. I didn't look into what the Camino is or the history or anything like that. I just went with the flow and followed the tour guide and the arrows. We arrived in St. Jean Pied de Port in South France with our group. Everyone in the town was sitting in restaurants or strolling around all in walking gear, rucksacks and walking sticks all very casual and low maintenance, except for me.
Me being a high maintenance girl who would never go out without wearing make-up arrived in my skinny jeans and sandals. Oh, how I stood out!
Once we checked in, on went the hiking boots and hiking jacket and off out we went exploring the town of St Jean. Everyone was so friendly, passing saying "Bueno Camino" I asked my friend what they were saying. She explained it's a greeting fellow pilgrims say while passing other when walking the Camino. It dawn on me then and there, we were fellow pilgrims now. Walking up a steep street in St. Jean, I noticed hiking boots hanging up on a wall as if to say these people who hung up their boots had completed the Camino had already experienced the effect the Camino has on you.
On the first day we started early, cold and foggy. Off up the mountains with us we went with our rug sacks and packed lunch. Day one consisted of 25km walking before our next location.
Before we tired on the climb our amazing tour guide started to give a history lesson about St Jean and on objects we passed especially the Camino arrows (our map/guide). Walking all the day was surprisingly calming and enjoyable but my favourite stop of every day was always the last stop of the day, just before we got to our hotel. So good to sit down and get a coffee and a snack after walking about 18kms.
Our tour guide pointed out objects to us along the way, advised us of keeping a pace, of meeting points and where we would rest to eat our packed lunches. The climb alone went from 'adrenaline pressed cocky woman' to 'stressed because of the steep climb' to 'getting so hungry' to 'exploring the areas' to 'realising your appreciation to your surroundings' to 'realising how at peace you are, how with nature you are how you start to look at life differently' All within one day or 25km.
On arrival at our next hotel, after going through all those emotions, it was time to kick off the boots and have a shower before getting dinner. When I kicked off my boots I thought about those boots hanging in St. Jean. One day I'll hang up my boots.
Stage one of the French way is only 3 days to Pamplona.
Over the three days we dined morning, noon and night with our group. Little did I know how much we would get to know each other, how we encouraged each other, how we looked out for each other. The group became a close team; the group became our little family.
All those emotions experienced from seeing all the shrines along the way of where people pick up a stone, stood still for a minute and think of what's bothering you, what makes you sad, what grudges you are holding onto, why your angry etc. You think about what's wrong or that sadness for the loss of a loved one. Once you put that stone/picture/anything on the shrine you have to let it go of all your anger/worries/sadness. You learn to let it go and leave it exactly where you placed that object and you walk away lighter. That's how I felt anyways after I did it on day 3, leave it there and move on. Be it spiritual or whatever you want to call it, once you walk the Camino you will understand.
I may have only done three days but those three days were the best days of my life. High-maintenance, what's that? It took me down a peg or two and makes you appreciate what you have and what loved ones are around you because that's all that's important. Life can get busy and hectic and it can suck you in until you get over what's going on in your head. Now, when I get like that, I stand back and remember what I felt them few days on the Camino.
One day I will complete it all and hang up my boots for good, but until then I'll bring my boots home and wear them every inch of the way. My day will come and someday someone else will see my boots hanging and think "what are they hanging up there for?" They will figure out the answer one day just like I did.
Kindest Regards

BIG PRAIRIE -- Sandra L. Schlauch of Big Prairie passed away at her home Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012.
Sandy was born Nov. 7, 1949, in Akron to Edmond Taillon and Rose (Sylvester) Motz, and married David L. Schlauch on Aug. 7, 1968. He survives.
A 1967 graduate of West Holmes High School, Sandy and David started in the dairy business and created Velvet-View Farm. Recently, she helped to create and operated Velvet-View Farmstead Yogurt. As a 4-H adviser for the Ripley Ringleaders, she spent many hours helping members with their dairy projects.
She shared her faith and talents with the congregation of Ripley Church of Christ. Her roles included teaching the little ones for many years, decorating the church for holidays and adding insights to the renovation projects. Her greatest contribution was the design and creation of the new preschool wing known as "Down on Jesus Farm."
By far her most important role in life and what brought her the most joy was taking care of her family. She will be forever loved and missed by her children, Debra (Steve) Gilbert and Aaron (Brandi) Schlauch; grandchildren, Ethan and Rachil Reynolds, Jacoby and Jamison Gilbert, Logan and Wyatt Schlauch; brothers, Gordon Taillon and William (Louise) Taillon; and a sister, Mary (Tom) Bulger.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to Ripley Church of Christ "Down on the Farm Fund," 12298 County Road 330, Big Prairie 44611.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Sandy was such a sweet lady, always remember her helping out with her grandkids, especially at the dances Rachil was involved in. She will be missed, prayers go out to the family.

On the arrival of a new year, it's customary to spend a few moments considering the past and the future. With the current concern and ongoing discussion about the latter topic, it may be helpful to look at a principle that has been at work during most of recent history.
We might start by recalling humorist Robert Benchley's observation that there are two sorts of people: those who do, and those who do not, believe that there are two sorts of people. There is a natural human tendency to make this kind of division; to say that, in the troubled times ahead, operators who transform their companies in one way will succeed, while those who don't will fail. There will be sheep, and there will be goats.
We have heard this sort of thing about once every five years since the1960s, and more often than not, there is a sense in which it's true. Changing conditions require adjustments to mainstream methods of doing things, and new technology can make the adjustment easier.
The transition from collecting and bagging "by route" to "by location" to "by machine" is an example. Each involved more work and new procedures, but tightened control to adapt to the evolution of the social climate.
Similarly, the move to multi-pricing reflected changes in product availability and product preference, and required the installation of coin changers. Fifteen years later, the same forces dictated equipping some machines with bill validators - which had been prototyped a decade earlier, before there was a real need for them.
Shifting trends in product preference also interact with technology, in unpredictable ways. Glassfront display, and the spiral vending mechanism, had been around in specialized applications for years. It took a shift in consumer preference from candy to bagged snacks, and demand for ever-wider variety, for these principles to be combined in today's versatile multiproduct designs.
Vending history is full of this kind of transition, and it is true that those who make it survive, while most of those who don't will fail. It's always possible for a very small operation, run by one person, to find a niche for any kind of service that he or she wants to provide. But companies that want to grow must come to terms with the market.
Deciding when to make such a change, and how best to make it, often can be done within a rather tolerant time window. But the decision will be made sooner or later; and it will be the decision to adapt or exit the business. Often, an improvement comes to market that persuades alert operators that they now can do something they have known must be done. For many, early business computers and accounting software encouraged them to complete the transition to bagging by machine, and to designing procedures for cash-to-product reconciliation. For some, handheld computers now are playing a similar role in expediting the adoption of line-item sales tracking.
At most points along the timeline of such a shift, it is possible to argue whether the benefits really outweigh the costs. Often, there can be different answers, depending on the kind of operation and the interests of its owner.
We point this out because operators today are looking at a variety of promising new concepts whose emergence is related to real market forces. These include, but are not limited to, the dual capabilities of remote inventory/status monitoring and cashless transaction validation offered by today's communications devices. These steadily are becoming more reliable, versatile and economical, and tests are determining the best uses for them.
We think that the economy will be recovering when fall arrives in 2003, and we believe that operators will begin operational deployment of many of the new things introduced over the past decade.
However, we must emphasize that no technology offers benefits that outweigh excellent service. A company that fields good equipment and maintains it well, that knows its customers and their preferences, and that develops a reputation for quality, reliability and honesty usually can set its own timetable for adopting something new and learning how best to use it. But a business that has failed its customers cannot be saved by a crash program, however innovative.

We recently published a tip on opening My Computer in the Explorer
view. By editing the Registry, we did it the hard way. As a number of
readers pointed out, this is not really necessary.
Reader Ryan C. sends this note:
"Here is an easier way to change this option other than going into
RegEdit. Double-click My Computer and then choose View, Options.
Next, click the File Types tab. Now, select Folder and click the
Edit button. You will see the word 'Open' highlighted. To change
this to Explorer, select 'Explore' by left-clicking on it once and
then clicking the Set Default button. Now click OK and OK.
From now on, when you open My Computer, it will be in Explore mode."
Several readers also pointed out that you can right-click My Computer
and choose Explore to open in the Explorer view.
Also, while we're on the subject of My Computer, reader John M. wonders
how many users know that you can right-click My Computer and choose
Manage to access to disk and user management features.
Also, holding down Alt while you double-click My Computer, opens the
System Properties dialog box.
Thanks to all who sent information on setting the Explorer view and
other My Computer tips.

Costume Photos
Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|Adding all the costumes which have been planned for a while but kept forgetting to put up.
Yes I need to stop uploading costumes D:
Yes I am procrastinating from doing work hurrr...
I was obsessed with this show as a kid. And I still love it now. I remember having this up when I first got CosplayIsland (as well as Sasuke from Naruto hahaha, whom I still intend to do at some point) but took it down because I was failing with the wig. Seriously, cheapy party wig combined with gel, manga head putty, PVA glue and God knows what else that I now know you can't put in a wig XD Plus I was also failing at the costume itself because I had no idea how to make trousers at the time, even baggy ones.
But now I think I can easily make the costume no problem and hopefully style the wig with no worries. Can't decide between getting a Punky New Look wig or hybriding two wigs. I'm going to hybrid two wigs for another cosplay so will hopefully find out just how thick that method is and if it isn't much difference then I shall just get a punky wig for ease!
Rei's my favourite character from the series, also really love Tala but I would never suit him ;____; Tala's too awesome for me, I shall just fanspazz over others that cosplay him.
I have no idea when for, if people want a group then I shall push him forward but man do I suck at solo cosplays for myself these days!

After fan flack, Rascal Flatts Owns Up To ACM Fakery
Rascal Flatts are admitting they didn't just lip sync their new single, "Rewind," at the ACM's Sunday night in Las Vegas, they are admitting they badly lip synced.
The trio revealed that lead singer Gary Levox had lost his voice after a grueling week of performances leading up to the show and decided they would be better off lip syncing the new single as opposed to trying to sing it live. Many fans easily noticed what was going on and many took to the social network to point it out and express their disappointment.
The group did say, "We've never done it before, and we're obviously not very good at it".
