Playing without several key contributors, Sweden was shut out by an outstanding Canadian defensive corps and goaltender Carey Price (Montreal Canadiens), who made 24 saves. Jonathan Toews (Chicago Blackhawks), Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins) and Chris Kunitz (Pittsburgh Penguins) scored for Canada, which never trailed in the Olympics.

Friday, Feb. 21 Semifinals
Carl Hagelin has a chance to become the first Michigan hockey alumnus to earn a gold medal at the Olympics after Sweden beat rival Finland, 2-1, in the first semifinal of the afternoon. Finland scored the game's first goal at 6:17 of the second period, as Olli Jokinen (Winnipeg Jets) beat Henrik Lundqvist (New York Rangers) from a bad angle to give the Finns the lead. However, Sweden answered with two goals later in the period by Louis Eriksson (Boston Bruins) at 11:39 and Erik Karlsson (Ottawa Senators) at 16:26 to take the lead. That was enough for Lundqvist, who shut the door with eight saves in the third period and 25 saves overall. Hagelin saw 10:25 of ice time and had two shots on goal in the game. » Replay: NBCOlympics.com
In a thrilling semifinal against Canada, Max Pacioretty and Team USA fell, 1-0, in a game that featured great goaltending from Canada's Carey Price (Montreal Canadiens) and USA's Johnathan Quick (Los Angeles Kings). Jamie Benn (Dallas Stars) broke the scoreless stalemate at 1:41 of the second period, deflecting a shot by Jay Bouwmeester (St. Louis Blues) past Quick to give Canada all the scoring it would need. Price made 31 saves, including nine in the third period, to earn the shutout, while Quick stopped 36 of 37 shots on net. Pacioretty saw 10:27 of ice time and had two shots on goal. Team USA will play Finland for the bronze medal, while Canada advances to the gold medal game against Sweden. » Replay: NBCOlympics.com
Wednesday, Feb. 19 Quarterfinals
Carl Hagelin scored two of Sweden's four third-period goals in a 5-0 win over Slovenia, moving the Swedes into Friday's semifinals to face rival Finland, a 3-1 winner over host Russia. Up 1-0 after two periods, Sweden broke open the game in the third, as Daniel Sedin (Vancouver Canucks) and Loui Erikkson (Boston Bruins) scored in the opening 10 minutes of the frame, before Hagelin sealed the win with two late goals. Hagelin's first goal came at 11:27, as he curled off the half boards, took a pass in the slot from Jimmie Ericsson, and beat goaltender Robert Kristan. At 16:10, Hagelin's second goal came on a redirect of a pass from Erik Karlsson (Ottawa Senators). Henrik Lundqvist (New York Rangers) made 19 saves in net to earn his second shutout of the Olympics. Sweden enters the medal round with a chance to add to its collection of gold medals in men's ice hockey at the Olympics (1994, 2006). Hagelin's goals were the first in the Olympics by a Wolverine since Mike Knuble scored in the quarterfinals for Team USA in a 4-3 loss to Finland on Feb. 22, 2006 in Torino, Italy. Hagelin is just the third Michigan hockey alum to score twice in one game at the Olympics, joining John Matchefts (USA) and Bob White (Canada), who both scored two goals in games during the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. » Replay: NBCOlympics.com
Max Pacioretty returned to the Team USA lineup in a 5-2 win against the Czech Republic, playing left wing on the fourth line with Paul Stastny (Colorado Avalanche) and T.J. Oshie (St. Louis Blues). Pacioretty saw 11:14 of ice time and had one shot on net. With the win, Team USA advanced to Friday's semifinal round to face Canada, which slipped past Latvia by a surprisingly close 2-1 margin, in a rematch of the 2010 Winter Olympics gold medal game in Vancouver. After goals by each team in the opening five minutes of the contest, Team USA scored four unanswered, including two late in the first period to take the lead for good. Dustin Brown (Los Angeles Kings) scored at 14:38 and David Backes (St. Louis Blues) added a goal with two seconds left in the first period to give Team USA a 3-1 lead. Zach Parise (Minnesota Wild) added a goal midway through the second period, and Phil Kessel scored his fifth goal of the tournament at 2:01 of the third period to put Team USA ahead, 5-1. James van Riemsdyk (Toronto Maple Leafs) scored at 1:39 of the first period for Team USA, while Ales Hemsky (Edmonton Oilers) had both Czech Republic goals. Jonathan Quick (Los Angeles Kings) made 21 saves in net. » Replay: NBCOlympics.com

TY - RPRT T1 - Customer-Sited PV: A Survey of Clean Energy Fund Support Y1 - 2002 A1 - Mark Bolinger A1 - Ryan H. Wiser KW - electricity markets and policy group KW - energy analysis and environmental impacts department KW - state renewable energy policies AB -
Generating electricity from the sun's rays without motion, sound, or exhaust, photovoltaic (PV) systems are perhaps the quintessential renewable energy technology. PV's widespread popularity, along with its high up-front cost and resulting need for support, have made it a prime target of state clean energy funds – virtually all funds currently in operation provide some form of support for customer-sited PV. There is less agreement among funds, however, about the most effective means of providing such support. Many funds have implemented what are commonly known as "buy-down" programs, where funds are distributed as grants to subsidize or "buy down" the initial cost of the system. Other funds have taken different approaches, soliciting proposals for specific projects, offering pre-development grants, developing infrastructure and distribution channels, or investing seed capital in budding PV manufacturers. At least one fund has considered (but not implemented) a leasing program. This report surveys the different experiences of funds trying to support customer-sited PV. The first section describes experience with buy-down programs, while the second section examines alternatives to, or variations on, buy-downs. This report also proposes further joint activity through the Clean Energy Funds Network (CEFN) to improve upon existing and future PV programs.PB - LBNL CY - Berkeley U2 - LBNL-49668 ER -

Want to annoy officials in President Obama's White House? Suggest comparing its response to the Gulf Coast oil spill with the George W. Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina.
"Other than geography, I can't figure out how," press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters yesterday.
Of course, that hasn't stopped assorted Obama critics from trying, citing the timeline. An oil rig operated by British Petroleum blew up April 20; three days later, the U.S. Coast Guard said there no oil leak -- and had to amend that statement a day later. Now a massive environmental disaster looms.
"This incident occurred on April the 20th," said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind. "It really wasn't until April the 28th until the administration fully deployed federal resources."
In their public comments, Obama and his aides have stressed their responsiveness to an evolving and unexpected challenge.
"The federal government has launched and coordinated an all-hands-on-deck, relentless response to this crisis from day one," Obama said.
Our friends at Politico noted that Cabinet members used the phrase "day one" at least 16 times during a string of Sunday talk show appearances.
Speaking with reporters yesterday, Gibbs said he's "happy to compare the response" to Katrina:
We're obviously dealing with a situation of great potential environmental and economic devastation. I think the analogies, though, are tougher to make (with) a storm that you track for several weeks that comes ashore and kills 1,800 people. ... The timeline I was looking at this morning had the Coast Guard and the Navy there on site immediately after this explosion.
We've done everything that we could.

Smoke Two Joints
In 1982, Mawg (Jean-Christophe Kay) and his brother Sky (Michael Kay) were rooming together in Waikiki. Sky was working as a pedi-cab driver and Mawg was gigging as guitarist/vocalist in the Honolulu-based cover band The Lifters.
In the fall of that year, Mawg and Sky were entertaining some friends who had arrived at their home to party. While jamming on a rootsy groove and improvising lyrics, the hook of Smoke Two Joints came tumbling out to the delight of the party guests.
Seeing the response, Mawg and Sky completed the lyrics the following day while sitting under a large banyan tree on Kuhio Beach. Soon after, Mawg performed Smoke Two Joints with The Lifters. According to Mawg, "From the very first time we played it, the crowd went wild and sang along. We had to play it 5 times that night after the crowd stopped our other songs in mid-performance by chanting 'Smoke Two Joints' louder than we could play.'" The tune had become an instant sensation.
Financed by their mother Paulette Kay, who was living in France at the time, the Kay brothers immediately recorded the song and produced 500 45 RPM vinyl discs. Joining them in the studio and rounding out the trio was 17 year-old Ricci Accardi, a local drummer. Having quit The Lifters, Mawg, Sky and Ricci joined up with singer Mike Dawson to form Tightrope, which they later renamed The Toys.
In late 1983 The Toys received a Cease and Desist letter from Motown Records' legal department threatening a lawsuit over the use of the name "The Toys", who were a signed act of Motown and who had recorded "A Lover's Concerto". Wanting to avoid costly litigation with the recording giant, the brothers decided to change their name. Many permutations of "The Toys" were considered, from "Toïz" to "Play Toys" but, liking the fact that they word "yes" could be part of their name, the band finally decided to simply add an "e", becoming The Toyes.
On December 2, 1982, Mawg, Sky and Ricci went into modest Audio-Media Studios in downtown Honolulu to record Smoke Two Joints and a hastily made-up jam song, Big Fat Mama. The sessions were produced by Mawg and Sky and engineered by the studio's house engineer, Ed Roy. The songs were recorded and mixed that same day, and the master was quickly sent to a vinyl pressing plant on the mainland.
Mawg distributed the 45's at clothing stores, gift shops and convenience stores, as well selling the record out of the trunk of his car at their live shows.
The record soon found its way into the hands of Andy Preston, the Music Director at 98 Rock KPOI-FM, Oahu's top rock station. That month Smoke Two Joints rocketed past Michael Jackson and Journey for the #1 most requested song and held that position for ten months.
After Dr. Demento's manager, Jay Levey (now Weird Al Yankovic's manager) heard The Toyes while vacationing in Hawaii, he brought the record home to the mainland where Dr. Demento introduced it on Los Angeles rock giant KROQ.
Just as it had in Hawaii, Smoke Two Joints spread across the mainland like wildfire and is still to this day the #1 American Reggae track of all time.

As most of you know I recently turned 40. Yep, 40. There's a celebratory hash-tag and everything (#WaitWhatSheIs40). Most people don't dedicate a hash-tag and announce turning 40, but I actually feel amazing about 40. And, if I'm being 100% honest, it doesn't hurt that most people think I'm 28-29…32 at the oldest.
While genetics play a role in how skin ages, good genes are not enough. I believe that proper skin care is your greatest defense against premature aging. And the earlier you start, the better! My skin care philosophy, for years, has always been 1) start early and 2) wear broad spectrum sunscreen daily! In fact, I always advise — if you're not going to do anything else, at least wear sunscreen. So when I learned about PREP Cosmetics, I knew I had to get on my soap box and preach…
The line, created by two moms (one, a Derm) and geared toward young girls is pretty simple, with key ingredients like — ZINC OXIDE (for sun protection), JOJOBA OIL – (for moisture), NIACINAMIDE Vitamin B3 and Vitamin E (for an antioxidant boost).
While I am absolutely not the target age group for PREP Cosmetics, I'm really excited to share a skin care line that speaks to my core skin care values. PREP's mission is to "educate young girls on the dangers of sun exposure" while making an impact on the lives of girls around the world through "Share Your Beauty" — a platform with the goal to impart knowledge, encourage unity and inspire the global community of girls. Yes, #girlpower! PREP touches on all of the important stuff that young girls need to thrive. I love that there is a focus on inner and outer beauty. If there's a young girl in your life, I encourage you to share PREP.
More about PREP
PREP Cosmetics enables every young girl to have a skincare regimen she can call her own and one that provides Powerful Real Everyday Protection. Co-created by Mayo Clinic trained dermatologist Carole Aponte, MD, and her business partner Kelly Barker, PREP Cosmetics has set out to educate young girls on the importance of using preventative skincare. All products are designed to be fresh, fun and easy to incorporate into an ongoing beauty routine. To date, the line includes a purifying daily cleanser, SPF 30 face + body lotion, and SPF 15 lip gloss. Coming soon, PREP Cosmetics will introduce a body wash, a lip gloss collection, nighttime moisturizer, 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, deodorant, anti-blemish spot treatment, and a SPF 30 tinted moisturizer…and this is just the beginning!

Tri-tip how to. So-Cal people get in here
So i just made friends with the butcher at Central Market and he said he can cut me a piece of tri-tip. texas is brisket capitol and I love it but damn those sandwiches I had in Cali were awesome. Anybody with knowledge care to chime in with a recipe?
Ask him to leave the fat cap on and slow roast it on the grill for 45 minutes to an hour to a nice medium rare. All it needs is salt an pepper with some nice olive oil.
I FREAKIN LOVE THESES THINGS! Sooooo underrated and most people don't know about them.
I'm confused, are tri-tip sandwiches some kind of secret
you just cook tri tip like a steak. no big deal.

Kind Words
Adam & Ali F.
Angel Pet Sitting, you should know how lucky you are to have such a great team. Just this past weekend, my fiancé, Adam, and I decided to go on a last minute trip to the Jersey shore, so I researched pet sitters, found Angel Pet Sitting, and with only a few days until we were scheduled to leave, I placed a call into you to find me a pet sitter. The pet sitter called me about 20 minutes later, and was flexible and willing to meet Adam and I (and our pets) on short notice at a time that was convenient for us.
The sitter showed the qualities of a true professional who undoubtedly loved and cared for Carley (dog) and PoPo (kitten) as though they were her own. During the in-home consultation visit, I knew Carley and PoPo were in good hands. Our sitter took the time to carefully go through each of the items on the in-home consultation sheet that included important contacts, veterinary information and visit times.
While we were away, our pet sitter visited Carley and PoPo six times and provided us with a detailed report of each visit that we found on our kitchen table upon our return home. As tired as we were when we arrived home late at night, Adam and I couldn't wait to read the notes that our sitter had left for us.
We will absolutely recommend Angel Pet Sitting to friends and family, every time we need a caretaker for Carley and PoPo.
Thank you so much to Angel Pet Sitting!

I recently saw a bumpersticker that said, "My kids have four paws" and that's how I feel about my cats, Monkey & Mouse. Because I travel frequently throughout the year, both in the States and overseas, for my job, it is such a comfort to have Angel Pet Sitting take care of my babies. Our sitter sends me daily text messages with little updates as to how they're doing and leaves me thorough notes upon my return so I get a complete overview of how they were while I was away. Our pet sitter is so detail-oriented and responsible, that I know she keeps a close eye on their daily behavior and well-being like I would. And while I miss my kitties terribly when I'm away, the peace of mind that Angel Pet Sitting gives me is invaluable. Thank you so much!

Angel Pet Sitting has been walking our dog, Baron, for almost a year. Baron is a 100 pound, high-energy pitbull/doberman mix who has been known to drag me down the street when he gets excited. Naturally, I was a little nervous to leave him in the hands of a stranger. However, my concerns disappeared when our pet sitter first came to our house for our initial meet-and-greet. Almost immediately, Baron was sitting on the pet sitter's lap enjoying treats and petting. It was love at first sight!
The business is very professionally run. They keep an extra key to our house in their office in case our regular dog walker needs backup, and they respond to emails right away. Our pet sitter keeps us up to date on her daily visits through Baron's Journal (a book where she writes a note about her time with him each day) I know that she really cares about our dog, and really enjoys spending time with him.
There is not anyone better that I can think of to care for our dog. I would definitely recommend Angel Pet Sitting to anyone in the area looking for a pet sitter.

This is an email we received from a client:
I just wanted to comment on how great Angel Pet Sitting is. This week Stella had a stomach bug for a few days that left her not quite herself and caused several accidents in the house. I had texted our sitter ahead of time to give her a heads up, so she stopped by for Stella's routine visit, cleaned up the mess that was there and took Stella for a nice long walk. She then stopped back to the house a few hours later to check on her again and take her on another quick walk before texting me to let me know that she did this and that Stella was doing better. You can tell she truly does this because she loves animals and that it's not just a paycheck to her, which is just wonderful. I think she is the best sitter Stella has had yet, and I always feel much better knowing that Stella is in excellent hands. Just wanted to share the feedback!
Anna & Steve C.
Our dogs are respected and equal family members. Some day they will be permitted to travel everywhere with us in a fashion that exemplifies their equally respected status. Until then, and fortunately for all of us, there is Angel Pet Sitting. Our Pet Sitter came for the Get Acquainted visit and immediately sat on the floor so she could be eye level with the dogs. Our fate was sealed. I provided detailed written instructions, and she continued with copious note taking regarding the care of our dogs, clearly indicating her diligence to me. She listened intently as I showed her how their home cooked meals of human grade ingredients would need to be prepared daily, and never even flinching, requested further detail. In addition to their walking schedule, and meal and snack times, their vitamins and medicines would also require attention to detail. I anticipated a snag when I explained, "While one dog prefers to sleep on the floor, the other prefers to sleep next to you in the bed", but our sitter didn't mind one bit! I pushed even further, I thought, when I asked her to arrive 30 minutes before we left for the airport. Again, my request was met with total understanding and agreement. I received text messages frequently while we were traveling to provide updates on their well-being and comforting visuals of what they were doing at that moment (in addition to any relevant sports scores). Any questions or concerns in our absence were handled via telephone or email, so we could enjoy our vacation, knowing that our dogs were essentially in the care of a well trusted friend. We returned to a clean house, her daily notes, and a follow-up conversation that reflected her distinct knowledge of each dog's antics and personalities. As animal lovers, we know the capacity to bond with another species, and the sincerity of our pet sitters tears as she said "Goodbye" to them evidenced the depth of her bond with them. We look forward to seeing her again soon. Jean, keep using whatever hiring technique you use for your staff – it's a winner!

Angel Pet Sitting- I cannot say enough good things about them!
I'll admit it; we're picky when it comes to our cats. We're not fanatics but, as a childless couple, they are our furry children. They get the high priced food, they have more toys than they know what to do with and they get the best care we can afford. In a word, they are SPOILED. Did I mention there are eight of them? We have never had anything but positive experiences with Angel Pet Sitting. Not only do they do the job they're hired to do, they do it to standards above and beyond what is expected and, having a diabetic kitty that needs insulin injections twice a day, we expect a lot from Angel Pet Sitting. Each time we return from a week long vacation, the kids are happy, healthy and obviously well cared for. If it wasn't for the clean litter and the daily notes left on the counter, we wouldn't even know anyone had been in our home! They are professional, considerate, trustworthy and they take pride in their work. How many service providers can you say that about these days? What we find most impressive, however, is there compassion and genuine love for our kids. Certainly this is their job but they love the job and it shows. Without a doubt, we recommend Angel Pet Sitting to all discriminating pet parents. After all, eight finicky cats can't be wrong!
Nancy F.
I can't say enough good about Jean and her crew at Angel Pet Sitting! I work in a job that takes me away for days at a time sometimes weeks in a row. Jean has always covered as requested, even in a pinch will she make sure my guys get attention if my flights get canceled or the job keeps me out another day. She is always quick to respond to requests, and sometimes I think my dogs like her and her crew better then me!! Bess and Joe are treated so well that they look a little disappointed when I get home! I trust Angel Pet Sitting with my dogs and my house when I'm away on business or vacation.
Sarah R.
Jean and my dog walker have far exceeded my expectations as pet sitters. After our initial in-person meeting, I felt completely at ease and confident that they would do a great job. I had just planned for mid day visits once a week to break up the monotony for Charlie (our 4 year old Beagle), and recently started scheduling some weekend visits when we are out of town. These have worked out great, Charlie is much happier to be at home and the cost is the same as a kennel. I have had other dog walkers in the past that were not reliable, with countless problems, dilemmas, excuses, etc. It is such a nice change of pace to never feel any doubt or concern and to know that Charlie is in great hands. There is never any fuss, hassle or confusion over scheduling; everything is straight forward and professional. There is always a follow up letter after every visit which is more fun to read then the mail. I would also like to thank our sitter for helping out with some unexpected needs when we've been out of town, thawing out the lobster, plumbing assistance, to name a couple. In summary, I would whole heartedly recommend Angel Pet Sitting for anyone seeking reliable pet care.
Joan H.
Over the years we have used several individual pet sitters and pet sitting services. Angel Pet Sitting has exceeded our expectations. Some of our cats require special attention while others are just plain rambunctious! For over two years now, we have felt totally confident leaving our multi cat household in the care of Jean and her staff. They are reliable, honest and take exceptional care of our pets as well as our home. We especially enjoy the thoughtful notes that are left at each visit. Without hesitation, we recommend Angel Pet Sitting to other pet owners.
Kirsten and John
We couldn't be happier with our choice to use Angel Pet Sitting. Your service has been an integral part of our daily lives from the time we decided to bring our Boston Terrier, Blue Bell's Bodacious Bogart, home and it continues to be now. Angel Pet Sitting has continually been able to accommodate our busy schedules from twice a day walks, when he was a small puppy, and now that we depend on you for Bogart's daily lunchtime walks. Your service has helped with the routines we follow for his training consistency, helped with training him to the electronic fence we had installed and have genuinely cared for our precious pup. We found it very important to make sure we could find a service that was reliable, trustworthy and would treat our dog as they would their own. Every day we come home to read a note from our walker that tells us how his visit went and how he acted. They always let us know that they enjoy him as much as we do. Thank you for taking care of Bogart.
Diane L.
I've got a houseful of cats of varying ages and a job that requires travel. My Angel Pet Sitter is very professional, always respectful of my animals and my home. Scheduling visits is easy and my special care instructions are always accommodated. I always come home to happy, well cared for cats and a personalized note for each visit letting me know anything important that I missed while I was away. And there is always a comment about something cute I missed too. I have been a happy Angel Pet Sitting client for 2 years now. I have peace of mind when I'm out of town knowing my furry friends are in good hands. I highly recommend Angel Pet Sitting.
Chris and Sally
We have been using Angel Pet Sitting since we moved to our new home in May 2006. They have been very reliable and flexible, coming in every day while we were at work, and recently 4 times daily while we were away on a break. Since Chris retired, they have adjusted their schedule to come as needed on relatively short notice. We especially like that our dog Buddy regularly sees the same two sitters that he has grown accustomed to, and not a lot of different people on different days. This is also important for us from a security standpoint, knowing that our house key and alarm code are limited to two pet sitters. We highly recommend Angel Pet Sitting to anyone who needs reliable care for their pets!
Sharon G.
I went away for a few days in August and Angel Pet Sitting took care of my three cats, Big A, Sammie and Gracie Nora. Our sitter knew I was a neurotic mommy so she sent me a picture of them each time she went to visit them. That meant the world to me. They were truly an "angel" to me and my babies.

Streamlined racing jersey fit for the pros
Previously only available in CANYON//SRAM team colours, the Souplesse Aero Jersey has been updated with a new fit and new fabric for 2017.
Streamlined and cut for racing, this is a cycling jersey designed for racing and high-performance riding. Our most aerodynamic jersey for women, the jersey uses a smooth fabric on the front and back of the body to enhance airflow and a new textured, woven fabric on the sleeve to create 'turbulent flow' – break up the air and reduce drag. A new aero collar is designed to sit flush against the skin in an on-bike position, and a new slimmer fit with reduced bulk across the body means the jersey is even more aerodynamic than before.
Best suited to riding in the heat, the Souplesse Aero Jersey wicks away moisture quickly and efficiently, keeping you cool and comfortable in hot conditions. A mesh yoke at the rear and a mesh lining inside the pockets increases ventilation in areas of high sweat.
Subtle design details include a rubberised Rapha logo and a Rapha logo printed on the left arm.

So our annual KIDSFEST event is coming up very soon.
Here is our promo video famvir generic for it!
You may have noticed the preschool CD recording announcement! Oh yeah. Our first ever preschool project!
Look for more announcements soon!
#kidmin, #hillsong and #otherstuff from David Wakerley
So our annual KIDSFEST event is coming up very soon.
Here is our promo video famvir generic for it!
You may have noticed the preschool CD recording announcement! Oh yeah. Our first ever preschool project!
Look for more announcements soon!
Part one is here.
So on the first day all of the small groups (each child is in a small group of kids with a leader) got a 'Cloodle' which was a record of all the clues that we left around the Kidsong venues. Some were written in chalk in random places, some were read out from stage, some were texted to leaders and some were handed out on bits of paper. There were 18 clues in all and they had to fill out all the clues because on the last morning we revealed the final meta puzzle.
A letter out of each of the 18 clues was needed to create a final sentence to unlock where the 'treasure' was ultimately hidden.
One of our challenges each year is to create an exciting prize for the winning team (every child is allocated a tribe/pod for the conference). It's hard on a limited budget to get a prize that is valuable for a few hundred kids and doesn't cost your whole budget.
Every year we produce 'trading cards' (coming in part three of this series) that we release each day and the kids go nuts trying to collect them all. Some are rarer than others and this year the rarest of all turned out to be the hidden treasure on the final day. We produced doxycycline order online an unannounced 11th card for the winning team ONLY.
There were only a few hundred of this card and not many kids outside of the winning team would have got one. So after announcing the winning team and revealing the meta puzzle we produced the MAP and the winning team went to dig up their treasure.
Funny Story: My esteemed collegue Nathan Mclean, whom I charged to bury the aforementioned tresure only hours before it was revealed is still at the conference site looking for one of the packages (two primary school age groups = two different treasures). One thing I know, I will never let him forget his disastrous treasure finding abilities.
(Even with one lost we had enough to go around thank goodness).
Thanks to Elisha Suarez and her team of thespians who wrote our Mystery script, she did an absolutely magnificent job and I could not have imagined a better video series! Also thanks to our editors Logan, Eric, Josh and Nathan who did post audio! It all worked out in the end!
Here is part three of the video:
This is part four:
And here is the final wrap up of the whole thing, where the kids get to see all the secrets. This is shown on the final night of conference and recaps the entire week.
Coming in part three: The designs of the trading cards and the 'cloodle'.
Plus other highlights from Kidsong World 2010!
I have found a few moments during Hillsong Conference (#hillsongconf for all the twitterers out there), to write a couple of thoughts down.
1. It's awesome
2. It's full on!
So many kids, new venues and a whole lot of leaders to pull of the most creative and fresh conference we have done in a while!
(These dostinex without prescriptions were short thoughts okay, I'll try again before the week is out)
But go to http://hillsongconference.com/backstage to see all the action!
All right!
(Yep that's me in the hat)
I'm super freakin' pumped up like an over-inflated bicycle tyre
My man James Leggot explain in the video which you can watch on the site: hillsongconference.com/backstage
Hillsong BACKSTAGE – Web Design – 5weeks to go from Hillsong Church on Vimeo.
So this is similar to the Catalyst Backstage and Orange Conference Behind the scenes/live streaming plus highlights from the conference!
So it will be developing for the next few weeks as we countdown to the conference. If you cannot make it to the conference then this is the place to be during the week.
I will be hosting some of the live streaming along with a bunch of our team here at church!
Can't wait!
We are once again ramping up for Hillsong Conference in July!
I love conference time each year… the air is crisp, the sun bright but ineffective, winter is all around and we all get precious little sleep as we present our annual conference to champion the cause of the local church.
KIDSONG 2010 promo from Hillsong Church on Vimeo.
So, Hillsong Kids team, we want to hang out with you and a couple thousand kids! Make plans to be there. Ministry leaders come along, if you are in the leadership stream we would love for you to be a part of our Children's Pastors and Leaders electives!

This is probably not the most earth shattering news to most of you. But if you have an interest in the music industry etc.
(Nashville, TN) April 9, 2010 – EMI Christian Music Group has entered into an exclusive recorded music licensing and marketing agreement with Hillsong Church and Hillsong Music, one of the world's fastest-growing evangelical ministries and a global force in Christian music. Effective immediately, EMI CMG will have the exclusive license to develop and market Hillsong music in US and Latin American territories diovan without prescriptions (including Canadian digital and mainstream retail stores) in the areas of Recorded Music and Video, Live Events and Leadership/Church Resources.
Yep, we have new friends in EMI CMG.
EMI CMG Label Group and its Sparrow Records label will be marketing and developing Hillsong Music annual releases, including the best-selling Hillsong LIVE, Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Kids recordings, as well as other music and video products from the Hillsong Music team. In addition to new product, EMI CMG will be re-introducing all key Hillsong catalog titles into Christian, general market and digital retail outlets.
What does this mean for you, oh inspiring reader of blogs? Nothing much at all but with every new partnership comes new opportunities and it is a new day, so I am looking forward to working with the dudes and dudettes at EMI to create resources that grow our own Church, but also Churches around the world.
I don't talk about it too much, but when I was probably 14/15 and learning Hillsong songs to play for my children's ministry praise and worship in my Church in Christchurch New Zealand I never dreamed I would end up here a part of the team that creates that music!
Which leads me to our project(s) this year – which I can say nothing about lest I get in trouble for spreading rumours and innuendo 🙂 But suffice to say, it's new, fresh and some stuff we have never done before!
That is all.

Bill Maher: New Rule: If someone wants to run Haiti bad enough to fight for it, why not give them a shot? Put a chicken in charge. At least when it gets overthrown, they'll have something to eat. Because, you know, Americans, even though we'll eat centipedes and marry dwarves on TV, we won't run Haiti. Because Haiti doesn't have any strategic American interests. And by that, of course, I mean, white people and oil.
New Rule: I don't care how big or flat it is, it's still just a TV. Congratulations! You just paid $10,000 to watch 'Hogan's Heroes.'
New Rule: A hamburger is not the same thing as a car. The Bush Administration wants to reclassify fast-food jobs as manufacturing jobs. Talk about parsing the language. Bill Clinton may have finessed the definition of sex, but he never claimed his penis was actually a glass of lemonade. A Quarter Pounder may spend a week in your colon, but that doesn't make it a 'durable good.'
New Rule: Gay marriage won't lead to dog marriage. It is not a slippery slope to rampant inter-species coupling. When women got the right to vote, it didn't lead to hamsters voting. No court has extended the Equal Protection Clause to salmon. And for the record, all marriages are same sex marriages. You get married, and every night, it's the same sex.
And finally, New Rule: Foreigners can't run for president? I believe only foreigners should run for president. This week, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that when it comes to Constitutional Amendments, he's for one allowing foreign-born Americans to reach the highest office.
Now, at first I was puzzled by his interest in this issue. But then I discovered a little-known fact about the man. He was actually born in Austria. You'd never know it from hearing him talk. But then he is a highly-skilled actor.
And he makes a good point. American presidents are like American beer: bland, watered down and advertised to us like we're morons. They come from boring places like Hope, Arkansas, Yorba Linda, California, and that town in Texas where President Bush was born: New Haven, Connecticut.
You know, just once I would like America's president to be like one of those presidents Italy always has, with the expensive suits and the permanent tan, and the Versace mistress. And there's photos of them making it on a boat, but nobody cares because, hey, that's amore! Quite frankly, I think of foreigners as more educated and more socially progressive, not to mention less likely to wear spurs and a giant Styrofoam cowboy hat to an international poverty conference, and call everybody they meet there, 'Shooter.'
You know, before Kennedy, no one thought you could put a Catholic behind the desk of the Oval Office, and before Clinton, no one knew you could get a Jew under it.
So let's face it. The presidency is a crappy job. And who does crappy jobs we don't want anymore better than foreigners? The average Frenchman knows more geography than we do. The average Japanese knows more math. And the average Guatemalan is already here taking care of your kids.
The job of president is just too damn important to be left to an American. Don't we deserve a presidency injected with savoir faire and worldly sophistication? And who better to deliver that than the grab-ass action hero from 'Jingle All the Way'?
Kwame Kilpatrick: I don't believe that the government should be in a position of protectionism. I think that the government and the president should be talking about how we're going to get jobs going, how we're going to support ' provide health care for Americans, how we're going to get cities back on the right track.
Ian McKellan: President Bush is concerned to preserve the sanctity of marriage. Now, is that the job of a political leader? That's what religious leaders do, isn't it? And then he says that we must preserve marriage as we've known it for a millennium now. Well, he should know that the first relationships between people to be sanctified by the Christian Church were same-sex relationships. That's history.
Bill Maher: Really?
Ian McKellan: Oh, yes. Absolutely. And the changes have happened.
Bill Maher: Well, I know there were popes who were a little..
Ian McKellan: Can I just quote you the third president, because there it is on the Jefferson Memorial, some of the great words .. and I'm sorry I don't know them off by heart, but he says, 'Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as manners and opinions change, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.' And that's barbarity.
Sandy Rios: I think now that (Bush has) made his statement, we're at least glad he's saying that marriage is between a man and a woman. That's a good start. And so there is some relief that he has come out strongly saying that. I think we have a reason to be happy. Sorry you're not happy about that.
Bill Maher: Well, you know, Constitutional Amendment, that is a pretty serious thing to do. We have thousands and thousands of laws, but the Constitution is pretty short. For something to rise to the level of a Constitutional Amendment, tell me why gay marriage rises to that level?
Sandy Rios: Bill, we have a crisis in our country. Even if you were in favor of gay marriage, we've got anarchy going on, especially in San Francisco. (audience reacts with laughter) And now the mayor of Chicago is insisting that he is going to endorse homosexual marriage. We have marriages taking place in New York and New Mexico. This isn't .. this is a breaking of the law. This is lawlessness. (audience laughter)
And regardless of how you feel about that issue, it should not be allowed. I don't know why your audience is laughing. (laughter) If it were an issue that they were against, they would be very upset about this.
(Discussing "The Passion of the Christ")
Ian McKellan: And you know, and frankly, if you were going to really make a movie about Jesus Christ, wouldn't you want to tell us a little bit about what he believed in and what he did? [applause]
Bill Maher: But that's not what he wanted to do. I mean ..
Ian McKellan: I know he didn't. But those of us who are not too excited by seeing someone scourged for 25 minutes ' unbelievably, he would have been dead long before he was crucified. It's not believable, frankly.
Kwame Kilpatrick: Well, I think it's actually a good opportunity for people to see how Jesus did suffer, because it's the Prince of Peace and everything so nice when you talk about Jesus. But he suffered.
But the other thing, there were no brothers. You know, in Africa and Israel and North Africa and the Middle East at that time, no black people anywhere. And that was a problem.
Bill Maher: I saw you on with Chris Matthews the other day .. and I got very angry. I mean, Chris is a friend of mine. I like him a lot. But he was berating you about the fact that you were not mature enough to be president because, unlike President Bush, you had never married and raised a family. You know, Chris? It's the year 2004, okay, buddy. That is not the only measure of maturity. It was so demeaning to all single people in this country, that the only way you can demonstrate maturity is to spawn? And I would just like to .. I wish you'd punched him in the nose, but you didn't, so I'd like to give you a chance to ..
Ralph Nader: Well, you know, Chris Matthews has turned into media staccato. He's turned from entertainment to caricature. I could hardly stop from laughing when I was on the show. I just couldn't believe it. What is this? No wonder he's parodied on 'Saturday Night Live.'

HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY) today announced financial results for its 13-week first fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2013.
First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights
"Our first quarter results were achieved in a market environment that remains very challenging for many of our customers, especially those who operate in the casual dining restaurant segment. While overall sales growth compared to the prior year was solid, gross profit growth was modest," said
Bill DeLaney
, Sysco's president and chief executive officer. "Particularly encouraging, however, was our expense management performance which was largely driven by successfully executing our broad array of ongoing Business Transformation initiatives. Looking forward, strong execution of both our business plan and key strategic initiatives is paramount to our providing best in class service to our customers and achieving our financial objectives for fiscal 2014."
First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Summary
Sales for the first quarter were $11.7 billion, an increase of 5.7% compared to sales in the same period last year. Food cost inflation was 2.1%, as measured by the estimated change in Sysco's product costs, driven mainly by inflation in the poultry category. In addition, sales from acquisitions (within the last 12 months) increased sales by 2.3%, and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates for the first quarter decreased sales by 0.5%. Case volume for the company's Broadline and SYGMA operations combined grew 4.1% during the quarter, including acquisitions, and increased approximately 1.8%, excluding acquisitions.
Gross profit for the first quarter was $2.1 billion, an increase of 1.8%, compared to the prior year period. Gross margin was 17.63%, declining 68 basis points compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in the first quarter increased $36 million, or 2.3%, compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of operating expenses from acquired companies, adjusted operating expenses were flat compared to the prior year. This was achieved as a result of benefits from our business transformation initiatives as well as lower business transformation expenses. Excluding certain items and business transformation expenses, adjusted operating expenses increased 3.5%.
Operating income was $478 million in the first quarter, which was flat compared to the prior year period. Excluding certain items and business transformation expenses, which were less than the prior year, adjusted operating income decreased 2.7%.
Net earnings for the first quarter were $286 million, a decrease of 0.4%, compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $0.48, which was 2.0% lower compared to last year's first quarter. Excluding certain items and business transformation expenses, adjusted diluted EPS was $0.56, which was a decrease of 3.4% compared to the prior year.
Cash Flow and Capital Spending
Cash flow from operations was $169 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $213 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Capital expenditures totaled $136 million for the first quarter. The primary areas for investment included facility replacements and expansions, replacements to Sysco's fleet, and technology.
Free cash flow was $44 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $59 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

It is possible that the information we disclose through any of these channels of distribution could be deemed to be material information.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release or in our earnings call for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 that look forward in time or that express management's beliefs, expectations or hopes are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements reflect the views of management at the time such statements are made and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, estimates, and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. These statements include our plans and expectations related to and the benefits and expected timing of our business transformation initiatives, and expectations regarding our performance in fiscal 2014. These statements also include our expectations regarding business transformation expenses, retirement-related expenses, free cash flow, capital expenditures, and the impact of the recent government shutdown and debt ceiling debate. The success of our business transformation initiatives and our expectations regarding our fiscal 2014 performance are subject to the general risks associated with our business, including the risks of interruption of supplies due to lack of long-term contracts, severe weather, crop conditions, work stoppages, intense competition, technology disruptions, dependence on large regional and national customers, inflation risks, the impact of fuel prices, adverse publicity, and labor issues. Risks and uncertainties also include risks impacting the economy generally, including the risks that the current general economic conditions will deteriorate, or that consumer confidence in the economy may not increase and decreases in consumer spending, particularly on food-away-from-home, may not reverse. The recent government shutdown and related debt ceiling debate may have a greater impact on the foodservice industry than currently expected. Our ability to meet our long-term strategic objectives to grow the profitability of our business depends largely on the success of our Business Transformation Project. The risk exists that the project and its various components may not provide the expected benefits in our anticipated time frame, if at all, and may prove costlier than expected. Also, there are other risks related to our project, including that the actual costs of the ERP system may be greater or less than currently expected because we have encountered, and may continue to encounter, the need for changes in design or revisions of the project calendar and budget, including the incurrence of expenses at an earlier or later time than currently anticipated; the risk that our business and results of operations may be adversely affected if we experience continued delays in deployment, additional operating problems, cost overages or limitations on the extent of the business transformation during the ERP implementation process; and the risk of adverse effects to our business, results of operations and liquidity if the ERP system, and the associated process changes, do not prove to be cost effective or do not result in the cost savings and other benefits at the levels that we anticipate. In fiscal 2013, we delayed the deployment of certain components of our ERP system so that we could address certain areas of improvement. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we deployed system improvements to our locations that are utilizing the ERP system, and have recently deployed the system to an additional location. Planned deployments in the coming quarters are dependent upon favorable performance of the ERP system at the current locations. We may experience delays, cost overages or operating problems when we deploy the system on a larger scale. Our plans related to and the timing of the implementation of the ERP system, as well as the cost transformation and category management initiatives, are subject to change at any time based on management's subjective evaluation of our overall business needs.We may fail to realize anticipated benefits, particularly expected cost savings, from our cost transformation initiative. If we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits from our cost cutting efforts, we could become cost disadvantaged in the marketplace, and our competitiveness and our profitability could decrease. We may also fail to realize the full anticipated benefits of our category management initiative, and may be unable to successfully execute the category management initiative in our anticipated timeline. Capital expenditures may vary from those projected based on changes in business plans and other factors, including risks related to the implementation of our business transformation initiatives and our regional distribution centers, the timing and successful completions of acquisitions, construction schedules and the possibility that other cash requirements could result in delays or cancellations of capital spending. Free cash flow in fiscal 2014 may be lower than expected if we do not realize the anticipated benefits from our initiatives to improve working capital performance. We may not realize the benefits of acquisitions as soon as expected, if at all, and the successful integration of acquisitions into our business may not occur or may require the expenditure of additional resources. Potential acquisitions may not close, or may be delayed, because of factors beyond our control, including the need for regulatory approvals. Fuel expense may vary from projections based on fluctuations in fuel costs, which are impacted by general economic conditions beyond our control. In the past, increased fuel prices have significantly increased our costs and reduced consumers' demand for meals served away from home. We may be required to pay material amounts under our multiemployer defined benefit pension plans, and our funding requirements for our company-sponsored qualified pension plans may increase should financial markets experience future declines. For a discussion of additional factors impacting Sysco's business, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Company's subsequent filings with the SEC. Sysco does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

Very large female dog nipples
This may seem an odd question but my one year old female dog has very large, low hanging nipples/teats. She has never had puppies but went through one heat cycle before she was spayed (right after I rescued her from a hunter). Can the nipples be surgically removed or is there something that can reduce their size? Has this ever been done before?

This was a question that concerned me once as well. I have had three Bouviers and one of them had very large hanging nipples while the other two had small flat nipples. Upon investigation of this concern my vet explained to me that dogs are like people in the way that their nipples vary in size and shape. Don't worry about it. Your dog is okay.

I would not remove them.
Well, she is who she is. That is how her body is. Some times they don't shrink back exactly the same after pups always.
I don't think I would make a big deal out of it.
Does it make you embarrased? Cause your dog doesn't care how they look. I don't mean that in a bad negative way, I just thought you might have gotten some comment from someone who made fun of it or something weird. If someone is teasing about it tell them not to look.

Delicious Destiny Virtual Tour with Yahrah St. John
At Last
This song is more personal in nature because of I think of myself. You see, I had been single for some time. I had gone out on so many bad dates over the years, none of which amounted to a real committed relationship. There was plenty of fun, but not a lot of substance. I'd tried meeting someone in person, through friends, clubs, online and nothing worked. I was beginning to feel like I would be single forever. So I decided to turn my negative into a positive. I wrote a book about my failed dating and relationships titled: Dirty Laundry. The book was women's fiction and a stray from contemporary romances, but it was cathartic to write about my dating woes with a humorous twist so I could let go of the past and focus on the future. When I gave up on finding love in 2011 is when I met and fell in love with my boyfriend of almost two years. I decided to try online dating one more time and one week into trying again, I met the man would later turn out to the be the one for me. Our first date was great from the start. We had a lot in common and he was easy on the eyes. It didn't take long for one date-to-turn to two and so on. October will mark our 2 year anniversary, but long before then I'd heaved a sigh and said…At Last….

Indie RPG Driftmoon: Give us your input, please!
View Single Post
October 20th, 2011, 14:51
Thank you for your very supportive attitude, Lurking Grue. Or should I teach the rest of you some Finnish, and say "kiitos" [pronounce it "key toss", and you'll be understood]!
And thanks to kasp as well, for your differing opinion. The top-down viewpoint in Driftmoon is a thing that does divide opinions, but luckily we've had a lot of very encouraging comments from people who've originally suspected the view, but have been positively surprised with the game AND the view, once they've started playing. When making a game, one has to understand that it's unfortunately not possible to fill every request, but that doesn't mean that voicing out your wishes wouldn't be allowed.
Here's what our lead developer (and my husband) Ville wrote just a few weeks ago:
"Why is Driftmoon top-down?
It's top-down because I tend to get lost in games with a first person view. The perspective also makes it very easy and intuitive to control your character. We can also make all of our characters from cleverly placed sprite sheets, so it's very easy to make new characters and monsters in the game. That is a big time-saver for modders, and it's left us a lot more possibility to fine-tune other aspects of the game. If you haven't had the chance to play any top-down games before, the perspective might feel a bit weird at first, especially when looking at the screenshots. But when you actually play Driftmoon, I promise you will get used to the viewpoint in a matter of minutes - that's what I've been told by some of our preorderers."
We've given the matter a lot of thought at an earlier point, and with our very small team, we feel this is certainly the best choice. It gives us the opportunity to make a game with nice and finished contents - with a completely 3D view (ours is a semi-3D view from the top) the two of us would probably never get the game done, even with our high level of determination. Now I'm glad to say we most definitely
finish Driftmoon in the near future, and we'll do it as well as we can!
I hope you'll, one day soon, be immersed in exploring Driftmoon, with a smile on your lips!

What makes WildFire CrossFit so special is the members of the community, including the coaches, and how they work together. When we started WildFire, part of our philosophy is that we wanted everyone, no matter what their skill level, to feel welcome to get the best training available. We did not start as incredible athletes, just average people who get to push ourselves and others to do above average things. We are so lucky that our members check their egos at the door and embrace the philosophy of working together to get better. It makes it a really fun and friendly environment to be a part of. And yes, we have competitive athletes who train at a very high level and participate in CrossFit Competitions consistently. The members of our community show up big at local area CrossFit competitions and cheer on their fellow WildFire athletes. Those competitive athletes are the first to cheer on and congratulate others during class every day. We are a Community that supports each other to be our best and that is why the members of the WildFire CrossFit Community go Beyond Just Fitness every day!
CrossFit as a method of training is very different from most other fitness options, and let's face it, there are a lot of options out there. One of the foundations of CrossFit is that the results are measurable over time. Every day we keep track of what we are doing. From the strength and skill work to the WOD, or Workout of the Day, we score everything so that you can see your progress over time. We explain to our athletes that it does not matter where you start, it matters where you are a month, 6 month, or even a year from now. Tracking our progress over time helps to keep us motivated to work harder and to focus on the areas that we need improvement.
In CrossFit it is not just about being great at one thing; it is about being good at everything. Instead of just focusing on strength OR endurance we focus on all 10 areas of physical fitness including things like balance, agility, and accuracy. This makes for a well rounded athlete and these skills transfer directly to any sport or activity. Today there are more and more professional athletes who are doing CrossFit in order to stay in shape for their sport

Interesting - I also very strongly identify with my character (hence my tolerance for RPGs relatively low on stats and with high degree of player skill involvment) but I can do that with pretty much any shape or gender of character. Robots? Hey I'll be a robot then. However I have a low tolerance for sinister roles (e.g. Assassins) see our recent discussion on GTA, AC, Hitman and their ilk. Maybe because I identify too much and the role than makes me uncomfortable?
