Hey there Canadian girl, I suggest you go to Macquarie uni in Sydney and live on Manly beach. It is about an hours busride to get to uni, but being in manly and having quick access to the northern beaches is well worth the commute, this is currently what i am doing and its working out just fine, surfing in the morning and then going to uni. Good luck with your travels and studies.

Go to Griffith Uni on the Gold Coast. A 5 min drive to the spit and main beach and 20 mins to Burleigh Heads.

Come to Sydney, there are over 50 beaches, there is a reason why Sydney is famous for its beaches you know. Wollongong has good surf, sure, but everything else there is kind of boring and boring looking.

Do I lead such an amazing life? Do I have such a story? I've never lived anywhere else but in Croatia. I've never done anything else but teach. I'm not thinking about a change in the future (no matter how much I would love to live in a foreign country - any foreign country, for that matter - and learn a new language by speaking it - but I simply don't have the courage to make such a move). But despite living and teaching in one country for a long, long time I have changed as an educator and a person because of - you guessed correctly - Twitter and my PLN!
Before Twitter I rarely got the opportunity to share my experiences/knowledge/vision with other teachers and more importantly, the very thought of me giving a presentation to an audience sent shivers down my spine. I used to be an extremely shy presenter. I've been a teacher for many many years, but standing in front of an audience always made me feel ill at ease. Today things have changed, my confidence has increased tremendously and I readily accept every invitation, in spite of the butterflies that appear at the first mention of a possible presentation or talk.Yes, I'm still nervous at the beginning of a talk, but this is positive nervousness, more like adrenalin, something that makes me want to keep on talking to my audience forever and ever.
At the beginning of November I'm going to do something that I would never do if it weren't for Twitter and my precious PLN - I'm going to speak in front of an audience of English teachers at TESOL Paris! I know I'll die ten times during the first ten minutes of the talk, but I want to go through it and I'm so terribly excited about it that I can hardly sleep. What's more, I'm thinking about singing karaoke in Paris! Something stupid - you might be thinking. (No, it's just that I love Robbie Williams:-) This would have been absolutely impossible two years ago, but today I feel quite comfortable with it. Yes, I have changed, definitely.
|Despite having butterflies during my presentation in Redmond, I thoroughly enjoyed it

Do you test for this?
This is difficult for me to answer as we are getting into proprietary information as rebuilders we guard our information which is why I was reserved about posting all this already. In the rebuild process shafts are polished (much like a crank shaft is on a machine) we clean up the gears if there is excessive wear we don't play with it we scrap it (this is called fall out in the industry) we use a simple rule If I wouldn't put it on my car I wouldn't sell it to you. (AND I AM VERY FOND OF MY BMW's) as for Quality I would certainly put any of my units against any other builder especially when it comes to bimmers it is very rare we have a failure in a BMW unit this is why I am not afraid to offer lifetime warranty on the units. (we have had on many occasions the installer that likes to cross thread the threads arrrrrrr now that is aggravating)
I'm happy to sell you a unit but out of curiosity if you already have a 712 tagged unit why would you swap ? if you want to upgrade a Z3 rack would be your go to unit. Changing one 712 for another would be like changing a bulb that didn't need to be changed Just curios ?
As for this thread I can say I welcome any information you all can come up with there is never enough information to compile and I am never opposed to calling an audible and changing my listings on my site to better serve my valued customers. Combining numbers is always a blessing to manufacturer as it simplifies things for those placing orders. So In advance I thank you all for your "positive" contributions to our knowledge banks as I mentioned I try to learn something new every day.
I also thought I would toss this out there for fun. On Many occasions I have found OEM cores returned where BMW has placed a pretty sticker over the original tag with later model digits on them (ya just gotta love that) I have seen this most commonly on the 5 series where the only difference was Internal seals and the way the lines were routed this is a prime place where I combined part numbers to simplify things.
Ok gotta run I have Audi's to build tonight
Oh yeah I also do Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, and on and on and on LOL
Be well

Freshmen should use time at Carolina to explore
By Liz White, email@example.com, 803-777-2848
The University of South Carolina welcomed the incoming class of 2016 on Sunday (Aug. 19) in a convocation ceremony, encouraging the new students to take advantage of all the university's academic resources.
Milind Kunchur, a physics professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, urged students to explore the many areas of study USC has to offer by investigating various professions and taking courses from different disciplines.
"The next four years will define your direction in life and provide a platform for your future career, as well as shape the person you are going to be," Kunchur said. "A university like ours has a huge variety of departments and disciplines. Feel free to explore. You don't have to have all the answers already - you are here to find out and to discover."
Kunchur, who was chosen to speak as this year's Michael J. Mungo Distinguished Professor of the Year, said he wanted his speech to provide practical advice to this year's 4,640 freshmen. He pushed students to explore classes in fields outside their majors
"A university education should do more than just prepare you narrowly for one specific job; it should turn you into well rounded and broadly informed members of society and future pillars of the community," Kunchur said. "The most successful leaders in various fields are those who have a breadth of knowledge that goes beyond their own discipline."
He told students to begin preparing for their four years at Carolina by thinking about their dreams and goals and staying on top of their classes from the start. Students should engage in broader academic activities outside the classroom to get a hands-on feel for disciplines and professions, he said.
Kunchur said he hoped his speech gave students a better understanding for how to interact with the faculty and staff at the university to work together as a team.
"Often, they are told that it depends only on them and what they do, but all of us factor in as well," he said of his speech.
USC President Harris Pastides also welcomed the new students by telling them to explore the campus.
"Being a student at a university, especially one as rich and diverse as ours, fosters the explorer spirit," Pastides said. "That is the freshman spirit, after all, the spirit of an explorer, and I want you to be the best explorers you can be so that you can derive a unique experience that is best for you."
First-year psychology major Kathleen Osborne said convocation made her feel like USC cared about new students feeling welcome in their new home.
Pastides offered practical advice. He urged students to stay healthy and take advantage of the university's wellness initiatives. He told the class to get plenty of sleep and to make real life connections that don't depend on social media.
The president said freshmen should get involved in some of the 400 clubs and organizations USC has to offer to develop leadership skills.
"There are absolutely no limits to what you can do and my goal for you is that you commit to a personal path of leadership," Pastides said. "Our university will afford you every opportunity to acquit yourself as a leader."
First-year exercise science students Jessica Napoli and Caitlin McGougan said the president's speech would inspire them to go out and experience campus just as upperclassmen would and to bond with the others in their class.
Dillon McBride, a first-year finance major, said he would take the president's advice to get involved. The president made the university sound like a great place with a lot of organizations and acitivies, McBride said.
"I'm gonna like the next four years here," he said.

While sitting in his car awaiting his "fourth meal", Taco Bell customer Jayden Blair had a chance encounter with a riotously besotted Charlie Sheen, who a emerged from behind some bushes, after Blair yells "she's a big fan" and points to his passenger.
Sheen introduced himself as Charlie in a gravelly voice, and exclaimed, "Sorry I'm so fucking hammered." With his eyes barely open, an affable Sheen says it's "awesome" to meet the two.
When Blair goes in for a fist bump, Sheen recoils a bit, and asks, "You guys want to fight?" Apparently joking, Sheen goes in for the fist bump. The actor proceeds to show off a couple of tattoos, one of which appears to be Charlie Brown. The other one is a Cincinnati Reds logo.
Here is the video clip:
Sheen says "Go Reds!," and then explains to Blair that his driver's name is Gary. Gary tells Sheen it's time to roll, and Sheen tells Gary, "No, we're fine, we're fine."
Sheen, just as famous for his impaired antics as he is for being an actor, producer and winner, then took off with his fourth meal, leaving Blair with a story to tell, and a Youtube clip that is going viral.
Sheen, born Carlos Irwin Estevez, has amassed a fortune of roughly $125 million, and was once the highest paid actor in television during his stint on Two and Half Men. After having a much-publicized meltdown, the tiger blood enthusiast was fired from the show by Warner Bros. and CBS in March, 2011, and was replaced by Ashton Kutcher.
Sheen now stars on the FX comedy series Anger Management, and has been keeping his ideals he'd described during his My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option spoken word tour he'd embarked upon after being let go by CBS to himself.

For someone whose nickname as a rugby player was "the piglet" – or "le goret" – for his trademark shuffling running style, Philippe Saint Andre must have been doing something right as a winger to earn 69 Test caps for France and captain the side 34 times.
"Le goret … the little pig ... the piglet. I was a big wing. I was looking like a big whale than like an antelope," the French coach said.
"I didn't love it, but it was like this. Not any more, but I was reminded of it all day when I was playing."
Saint Andre might laugh when he recalls those halcyon playing days on the French team from 1990 to 1997, but there will be nothing lighthearted when his French team plays the Wallabies in a three-Test series next month.
Winning is no pipe dream for him – he and assistant coach Patrice Lagisquet were part of the last French side to beat the Wallabies in Australia in 1990 when France won 28-19 in Sydney.
"It is quite a long time ago," Saint Andre says. "It is quite funny we are both back now."
That win was not a one-off for him Down Under. He captained France to a two-Test series win over the All Blacks in 1994.
Saint Andre even made the decisive kick from deep in France's half in the second Test at Eden Park to ignite what he later dubbed as "a counter-attack from the end of the world".
It was one that led to fullback Jean-Luc Sadourny scoring the winning try to clinch a 23-20 win after trailing 20-16, and the series.
Some French players won't make this tour because of injury, such as first choice hooker Dimitri Szarzewski (ankle), or fatigue, such as second-rower Pascal Pape, who captained France in this year's Six Nations and has played 38 games this season.
But with one eye on the World Cup in England next year, Saint Andre hopes the tour will galvanise an "esprit de corps" in a squad that has a mix of experience and youth.
"It's the last tour before the World Cup and very important for us," he says. "What I want is fantastic spirit. I want to us to improve our game. Of course we want to win games, but for young players in the squad it will be a fantastic learning curve."
Among the experienced players are back-rower Thierry Dusautoir, who will captain France as he did when they last toured Australia in 2009, and five-eighth Frederic Michalak as back-up to the talented Remi Tales.
Saint Andre, 47,has immense respect for the Wallabies under coach Ewen McKenzie.
"We just need to perform well because Australia had a very good tour in November," he said. "They were negative against England, but after that they played well. They won all four games after that.
"They played with speed, with panache and flair, and showed a lot a lot of commitment. To come to Europe, play five Tests and then win four, shows the character and improvement of the Aussie team.
Not surprisingly, he rates Israel Folau as crucial to Australia's game.
"You can see they have a new generation of backs with a lot of talent. [But Folau] is playing fantastically well. What he is doing in the Super Rugby is very impressive.
"A league [Super] game and an international game is completely different. We just hope he will not perform as well as to what he is now."
He expected the Wallabies to cover the loss of five-eighth Quade Cooper, sidelined due to injury.
It is a coach's lot to "think about one dream team, and then after you realise that between what you want and what you can do and pick is quite different," he said.
"So you need to adapt and try to find the best way to be competitive."
Saint Andre believes the Wallabies should be under no false illusion about how difficult their World Cup will be, having landed in the same pool as England and Wales and with only the first two teams to make the quarter-finals.
"I think England will be very strong for the World Cup," he said. "England will be strong at home and for sure with Wales and Australia this is the toughest group.
"One of these three teams will be out of the quarter-final. It will be very close."

THE government's announcement that it will offer more funding to offshore wind farms has been welcomed by supporters of the Navitus Bay scheme.
Ministers have pledged to cut support for onshore wind and solar energy but give more backing to offshore schemes, like the Navitus Bay wind farm proposed for the Dorset coast.
But opponents say the move does not diminish their arguments against the plans and have promised to continue their fight.
The Navitus Bay scheme proposes siting up to 218 turbines in an area 8.89 miles from Swanage and 12.24 miles from Bournemouth.
Mike Unsworth, project director of Navitus Bay, said: "We welcome the government's ongoing support for offshore wind energy and its commitment to decarbonising our electricity sector.
"Offshore wind developments such as Navitus Bay will help the UK meet its carbon reduction targets, reduce our reliance on imported energy and boost the economy by creating tens of thousands of jobs."
However, opponents fear the wind farm will industrialise the landscape, threaten the coast's World Heritage Status and hit the tourism economy.
Research carried out by Navitus revealed around a third of current visitors would be deterred from returning during the three-year construction phase and 14 per cent of visitors claim the loss of view would stop them coming back.
Conor Burns, MP for Bournemouth West, said he was "relaxed" about the government announcement because he said there was compelling evidence the Navitus Bay wind farm would have a detrimental impact on the area. I don't think for a second that it impacts on the arguments that we're going to make about why the proposal is too close and too potentially devastating for our local economy."
And Philip Dewhurst, of the Poole and Christchurch Bays Association, said: "It's hard to see how they could give any more money to this scheme, it is already going to receive enormous subsidies. But our concerns remain that it is too big, too close and not necessary."

|Re: Random Document
|Tue, 21 Sep 2010 22:19:27 GMT
Unless there are additional restrictions that can be imposed, I'm pretty sure that you're going to end up needing to get the full list of IDs, and select x of them at random without replacement to fully match 'SORT BY RANDOM LIMIT X'. However, depending on what you are doing with them, it's possible that other approaches might work. For example, you could add a 'uniformRandomValue' key to the doc which is set at document creation, and have a view that does emit(doc.uniformRandomValue, doc._id), then when you query the view you can (again, depending on what you're doing with the random selection) either pick the lowest keys ('&limit=X') or pick a random startkey in the range along with the limit ('&startkey='[0.12345]'&limit=X'). That works great when you're using the docs as something like a work queue, where after being chosen once, the docs are removed from the queue. However, if the docs stick around, you can end up with problems. Imagine your doc.uniformRandomValues look like: urv: id 0.1: A 0.7: B 0.8: C 0.9: D Selecting from this distribution with a random startkey and limit of 2 makes it very unlikely that A or D are selected, unless you remove B and C after they're picked the first time, and implement some sort of wrap-around to get A if the startkey is 0.85. If that kind of approach doesn't work for you, then it would be helpful to more about the requirements. :) HTH, Eli On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 2:49 PM, Peter Braden <email@example.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm after a) - the equivalent of a 'SORT BY RANDOM LIMIT x' sql statement. > >> But as this isn't deterministic, I'm pretty sure it's wrong. >> I don't follow your logic.

Landlord & Tenant Law – Evictions
Eviction – Generally
A landlord may not unilaterally evict a tenant; he or she must follow the proper notification procedures and obtain a court order when attempting to evict a tenant.
Types of Tenancy
If a tenant has a valid lease, usually referred to as a periodic tenant, the lease acts as a contract between the landlord and the tenant and usually expires on a specific date (generally one-year from the move-in date). If a tenant does not have signed lease, or if a tenant previously had a signed lease that expired but is still living in the space and paying rent, that tenant is considered a tenant-at-will.
Reasons for Eviction
In order to evict a tenant with a valid lease, a landlord must send valid notice and prove:
1) the tenant violated a term or terms of the lease;
2) the tenant failed to pay the agreed upon rent; and/or
3) the tenant was using the space for illegal purposes.
A landlord does not have to state any reason for wanting to evict a tenant-at-will in Massachusetts. However, he or she must still follow the proper notification procedure and obtain a court order to evict the tenant.
A landlord may not evict a tenant in retaliation for certain activities such as notifying the sanitation department or health department; withholding rent because of bad conditions; and/or taking legal action against the landlord. It is also illegal for a landlord to evict a tenant for discriminatory purposes such as race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, ancestry, marital status, handicap or status as a veteran.
And under no circumstances may a landlord perform any of the following acts without first obtaining permission from the court:
1) move tenant belongings out of the leased space;
2) change a tenant's locks;
3) shut-off a tenant's utilities; and/or
4) interfere with a tenant's use of the leased space.
If you are looking for professional representation during an eviction, or you would like a more detailed explanation of the eviction process, please feel free to contact Mikowski & Leonard, LLC for a completely free consultation. Our attorneys have experience representing landlords and tenants in both Housing Court and District Court.

About the Program
The Alternatives to Abortion Program was established in 2007 through Section 188.325 RSMo. The program is designed to assist women in carrying their unborn child to term instead of having an abortion, and to assist them in caring for their child or placing their child for adoption. Services are available during pregnancy and for one year following birth.
Goals of the Program
Reduce abortions and improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women practice sound health-related behaviors, including decreasing the use of tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs and by improving their nutrition. Improve child health and development by helping parents provide more responsible and competent care for their children. Improve families' economic self-sufficiency by helping parents develop a vision for their own future, continue their education and find a job.
Where to Go for Help
When looking for a resource or provider in your area, any of the agencies that are listed for the county you are searching can be contacted. Even though the city that may appear for a provider may be in another part of the state, the agency will be able to put you in contact with a resource in your area.
The Alternatives to Abortion Program is available to women who are Missouri residents* and who:
- Are at or below 200 percent of federal poverty level based on the client or family income as determined by the exemption status on the previous or current year Federal income tax filing annually; and
- Are choosing to carry their child to term instead of having an abortion
*A Missouri resident is defined as a person who has fixed their home/dwelling in Missouri, not for any special or temporary purpose, but with a present intention of remaining in Missouri permanently or for an indefinite period of time.
Services are provided at no cost to participants meeting the eligibility requirements outlined in the section above.

VENTURE AFRICA – Rwandan President Paul Kagame says his government will continue to provide incentives to attract investors to business opportunities in the country.
According to media sources, the landlocked state wants economic growth to remain at 11.5 percent every year, for the next five years. Rwanda also wants to drive poverty from 45 percent to below the 30 percent mark, and attain middle-income status by 2020 — no easy task for an agriculture-based economy.
While speaking to investors from China's Zhenjiang Province, the President said his government will make the country more investor-friendly, as it aims to push through a transformation from its genocide past.
Kagame thanked the Chinese for being a part of Rwanda's transformation process and "staying on the course of what we believe in."
According to him, "[Rwanda] will continue to work towards making a win-win situation possible." He added that the country's strategy was not to seek short-term investors, but businesses that will impact Rwanda for a long time.
In a separate meeting with government officials on Tuesday Helen Hai, an expert on China-Africa Investments, expressed optimism towards the policies the country had implemented to facilitate investments, singling out steady infrastructural development and business-friendly procedures as key achievements.
Rwanda's on-going transformation can also be gauged from the fact that within a decade of launching Vision 2020 in 2000, it emerged the highest-ranked economy in the 2010 World Bank's Doing Business report.
The country is presently the ninth fastest growing economy in the world, with its 2013 GDP growth projected at 7.8 percent.

Ten years ago this week, the Jewish Daily Bulletin, in the form of a tiny, two-column, four page paper, made its initial appearance in New York as the first and only English daily record of Jewish news.
It appeared at a time when the question of an enlarged Jewish Agency for Palestine was being widely argued; when the American Committee on Jewish Refugees was perplexed over what to do with ten thousand or so refugees; when the question of Jewish colonization in the Crimea was a subject for heated debate; when Mexico, Argentina and Canada were being considered for Jewish immigration and The Haint, in Warsaw, pointed to the fact that Palestine was being considered as a refuge for homeless Jews as proof that "Palestine is no longer a Zionist Utopia."
In Germany, Adolf Hitler had just gone through his unsuccessful Munich beer putsch and Austria and Bavaria had both hastened to deny him rights of citizenship.
In Palestine, a naturalization law conferring citizenship on Jews and non-Jews alike, after two years' residence, was about to be announced. Sir Herbert Samuel, Palestine High Commissioner, had just denied reports that the Transjordan would be annexed to Palestine.
In Budapest, the Jewish deputy, Bela Fabian, incensed by insults from the anti-Semitic benches in the parliament, had challenged a leader of the Awakening Magyars to a duel. Attacks on Jews had been reported in Austria and Hungary. And in Poland, committees of orthodox Jews had been formed to supervise women's dress and guard against such immoralities as short sleeves.
In Lithuania, the Jewish community was preparing to issue a "Black Book on Jewish Autonomy in Lithuania" listing the decrees destructive of the Jewish position. In Tacoma, Wash., America's "Dreyfus Affair" had just come to a satisfactory conclusion with the vindication of Captain Rosenbluth. And John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for the presidency, in a speech at Rochester, had extolled the Jewish Day of Atonement and denounced religious and racial prejudice.
On the whole, it was a quiet period except for the disorders and troubles in the traditionally vexatious sore-spots on the map. The general tenor of Jewish life as reflected in America, was as normal and healthily constructive as it ever had been.
It was into this scene that the Jewish Daily Bulletin unobtrusively crept in October, 1924, with the announced intention of offering its readers "a daily survey of Jewish and non-Jewish public opinion throughout the world" and to acquaint them "with the manifold activities and undertakings of Jews throughout the world."
Pledging that it "will be independent, it will not propagate any particular philosophy or theory or tendency. It will limit itself to the presentation of facts," The Bulletin's "Statement of Purpose," published in its first issue, pointed out that "by giving Jewish news in the right proportions, it (The Bulletin) will enable all thinking Jews and non-Jews to perceive Jewish conditions in their true perspective."
That The Bulletin's publisher, Jacob Landau, was not incorrect in his belief that some such medium as The Jewish Daily Bulletin was vital to American Jewish life was proven by the response which greeted the paper on its appearance.
The printing order of the first issue of The Bulletin was six hundred copies—most of which were sent out as samples to acquaint the public with the new paper. In the span of a few months, The Bulletin was going into the homes and offices of almost every Jewish leader and public-minded Jew in the country.
It gave them daily, in the spread of its four tiny pages, a bird's eye view, a daily appraisal of the Jewish position throughout the world. And it put at their finger-tips, a wealth of information essential to the functioning of Jewish agencies.
The Bulletin was only a matter of a few months old when it was able to announce proudly that "the roster of subscribers to the Jewish Daily Bulletin reads like a Who's Who of American Jewry." And this was no exaggeration. Today, The Bulletin still numbers among its subscribers hundreds of American Jews who have read the paper since its very first days. And The Bulletin is proud also of the fact that several of the men and women who were with it at the start, are still members of its staff.
On March 29, 1926, readers of The Bulletin were informed that the paper was about to jeopardize its title to being "the smallest newspaper in the world" and would appear on April 1 in a larger format.
On that date, The Bulletin made its appearance as a three-column newspaper—the size it retained until April 23, 1933, when the Weekend Edition was commenced as a tabloid-size, twelve-page newspaper, supplementing the smaller daily Bulletin.
What position the Jewish Daily Bulletin had grown to fill in American Jewish communal life was convincingly revealed by the Jubilee Edition of fifty-six pages, published on February 21, 1928 as the one thousandth edition of the paper.
In that edition, which also celebrated the ninth aniversary of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Mr. Landau, the guiding figure in both ventures was able to state proudly:
"The Jewish Daily Bulletin, we are glad to say, has come to stay. We are particularly fond of the fact that the newspaper has found many readers and friends in every section, group and party in American Jewry. We are encouraged by the fact that there is not a single community in the United States where the Jewish Daily Bulletin has not acquired faithful readers and devoted friends."
Publication of The Bulletin in the three-column format was continued until April, 1933. During that time it continued to "further a better understanding of Jewish conditions and problems; to inform each part of the Jewish community at large and every community in particular of what the other sections or communities are doing, and to relate all events accurately and promptly," as Mr. Landau had pledged in a re-affirmation of The Bulletin's purpose in the Jubilee Edition.
In 1933, the sadly changed aspects of Jewish life—largely the result of the Hitler triumph in Germany—and its effects, not only on Jewish social and communal life here, but also on the minds of tens of thousands of individual Jews, influenced the editors and publisher of the Jewish Daily Bulletin to broaden the publication's scope and seek a wider field. By bringing to American Jews, and particularly the younger American Jews a means of getting into closer touch with the Jewish blood-stream, and by awakening or strengthening their consciousness, it was felt The Bulletin could perform a tremendous service to the Jewish cause.
In its enlarged size, The Bulletin was able to extend its field considerably. It recruited the mighty pens of Abba Hillel Silver, the brilliant Cleveland rabbi; of Ralph D. Blumenfeld, the famous "R. D. B." of British journalism; of Joseph Leftwich, capable London editor; of Georg Bernhard, former editor of Berlin's Vossische Zeitung; Harry Salpeter, of the old New York World, and others, including Hans Kohn, whose weekly articles did much to orient hundreds in the realm of world politics.
To the Bulletin's columns these gifted men each brought their analyses of the various problems confronting the Jews and their suggestions for meeting them. To countless readers of The Bulletin, their words came as welcome guidance out of troublesome perplexities.
The Bulletin, in conjunction with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, sent Miss Dorothy Thompson (Mrs. Sinclair Lewis) to Germany in the Spring of 1933, for an honest, impartial survey of Jewish conditions there. And primarily through publication in the pages of The Bulletin, Miss Thompson's magnificent expose of the brutalities and horrors practiced by the Hitlerites, which substantiated the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports The Bulletin had featured, greatly stimulated the flow of indignation with which the civilized world greeted the spectacle of horror revealed in the Third Reich.
The Bulletin took its greatest step forward on January 16 of this year when it stepped out of its three-column daily dress and adopted for its daily editions the five-column tabloid size with a minimum of eight pages daily. Herman Bernstein, well-known editor and former American Minister to Albania, was first editor of the enlarged paper.
The new Jewish Daily Bulletin made its appearance at a time when a comprehensive survey of Jewish conditions had become most imperative. The rapid tide of events and the necessity for interpretation, as well as presentation of all the news had grown to exceed the physical scope of the small Bulletin. The tragedy of Germany had necessitated a reorientation on the part of many Jews. In this, the enlarged Bulletin could be most helpful and it is to this end that The Bulletin has been in large part directed.
The position that the Jewish Daily Bulletin occupied in the American Jewish scene was strikingly shown at the ceremonies launching the new venture.
Professor Albert Einstein left his secluded Princeton retreat to visit. The Bulletin plant and set the first line of type for the enlarged paper. President Roosevelt, Governor Lehman, Mayor LaGuardia and hosts of others sent greetings to the new member of the family of full-size metropolitan dailies. And over six hundred outstanding members of the American Jewish community and the world of journalism attended the luncheon marking the inauguration of a new era in the life of the Jewish Daily Bulletin and a new epoch in the history of Jewish journalism.
The Jewish Daily Bulletin has reached its tenth birthday. It has consistently sought to observe the policies laid down by its publisher and which may be re-stated here.
"The Jewish Daily Bulletin will continue to report impartially, concisely and authentically all Jewish news. It will be independent. It will be a clarion call to the young American Jew, who is growing up uninformed on contemporary Jewish life, guiding him to a proper understanding of his people and stimulating his consciousness of and responsibility to the Jewish community. It will acquaint its readers with the manifold activities and undertakings of Jews throughout the world and will endeavor to set Jewish conditions in their true perspective before its readers.
"The paper will not preach any philosophy of Jewish life but will stand squarely for all measures which will secure the survival of the Jewish people. It will endeavor to be the bulwark against the many disintegrating influences

i'm over this team. I'm past my threshold of how bad i thought they would do....
good look all you fans, i'm depressed out.
bon chance
This game was the one that pushed you over the edge?
wasn't this game as a definite point...more like the amalgamation of all the games so far. Alot of ups but more downs...been a few years of this same pattern...
what is more depressing is this team has the potential on paper..but always something makes things go wrong. Yes it happens to all teams...but it's about the only consistent thing that happens for this team. I Love iggy, but his scoring is really inconsistent...and wtf is happening with thad??
also over the past years, we've always been not bad enough to land a top 10 pick, and not good enough to advance past the first round...
i just can't take the disappointment anymore...
sorry guys
"One quick word on your player of the game, Elton Brand. He's back. I'm convinced."
It's conceivable, but do acknowledge that if he weren't a Sixer, were not a player you were actively rooting for, you would wait much longer than 3 games to pronounce him back. Imagine he were Jermaine O'Neal. Actually, you don't even have to imagine, look at Jermaine O'Neal's game log. He started the season with two consecutive 22 and 12 games and shot, in them, a combined 17-25. Since, he's averaged 12 and 6. Now, after you saw those first two box scores, did you entertain any thoughts that Jermaine O'Neal was back? I'm sure some Heat fans did, but I'm sure you didn't. Brand just might be back, but a few games isn't much of a basis to be sure of that.
I'm not claiming to be an unbiased observer at all. Looking at it from your perspective, have you been impressed?
Apathy. Thats how I feel about this team. I barely watch any games because the result is always the same.
Less than average team putting up a "good effort" against elite teams, barely beating rebuilding or franchise disaster teams(nets, knicks) and losing to everyone else. All the teams you may mention before a game against the sixers as inferior or just not that good winds up beating our ass. (grizzlies anyone ?)
The sixers are one of the 5 worst teams in the league, are maxed out on their cap and are not rebuilding. This team was supposed to be a top 3 team in the eastern conference...THIS YEAR. I'm near Philly and I can tell u this town is a Eagles/Phillies/Flyers/Temple college ball town before the sixers. No one talks about this team on sports radio,they get no respect on espn, they are basically a non entity in this league. I HAD a lot of respect for Ed Stefanski...but maybe it was all the people around him in New Jersey and not HIM. Because the losing culture of this team has not changed, its only gotten worse. If you listen closely, you can hear Billy King laughing his ass off.
Individually there has been improvement;L.Will. [under control]; Iggy [better jumper]; Elton [looks healthy]; Carney[ definite factor at both ends];Marreese [rebounding better];J.Smith [looks healthy and very active; E.Jordan [slight improvement the past week ]. But it is all about effort and teamwork and I hope the offense does come together by the allstar break.Watched Memphis game twice, it had to be the defensive end our coach ranted about [guys on their own,not helping each other] so that has to improve but after the last 2 seasons [good 2nd halves], I can!t give up on this group.
It looks like the bench roles are starting to be defined; J.Smith is a good energy guy who does the little things well [hard fouls, doubleteams,screening];Carney is actually rebounding the last 2 games and looks active defensively; and hopefully Jrue can win the backup p.g. job from Willie and Royal by the 2nd half of the year.
While I am encouraged by the play against Cleveland I still am having a hard time getting over the loss to Memphis. And I know some guys had bad games but I lay that one on the coach to have as much responsibility as the players for that loss. If the players were truly "splintered" as he said that is the coach's fault.How about more in game adjustments and less motivating through the media. His rotations should be getting close to set right now. A couple of things bother me:
Holiday is the future of this team. The Memphis game was a great time to get him 20 minutes.
Please I beg of you have Willie Green as a DNPCD. It is ok. I know Green is a nice guy and a great teammate. He hurts the team when he is on the floor.
Kapono needs to be in the rotation somehow. In the Charlotte and Memphis game didn't play until late 3rd quarter. Then EJ left him in for 6 minutes and 17 seconds of the 4th quarter when you needed defense.
We really need SAM on the floor.
The Memphis game almost pushed me over the edge but as they say in poker I am pot committed and all in so I guess I wasn't going anywhere.
I kind of agree with Eric. Same core of player back plus your key signing of last year is back and this team should not being going backwards or even staying the same. When Orlando signed Rashard Lewis everybody thought it was ridiculous money for him . He is certainly a good player but not a superstar. That being said I still don't have a problem with the Brand signing. What I have a problem with is that we can't use the young team excuse anymore. I give them about 7-10 more games to work on some wrinkles and then they need to start Winning, period the end.
Kate Fagen wrote an interesting article about Thad!s adjustment to the s.f. position which made me feel better about the adjustment period of our 3 players [Iggy,Thad,and Lou] to new positions.Now they may have a new #1 scoring option to go to [Elton] along with the new offense and coach.I am trying to be patient but I hoped for a similar record or slightly better by seasons end so are they that much worse than the last 2 seasons record wise?
Brand is playing much better. I think he is learning what he can and can't do physically and turning his frustration into effort.
I'm still not sure that translates into "the Brand of old" or even a tradeable Brand.
Was glad to see Thad have a good bounce back game.
I am very encouraged with this game. If the first quarter wasn't so shitty we're in a tight one at the end of the game with a lead. I mean, we didn't win the game, but we were competitive as hell against a team who often rolls teams in their own building:
1. If EB keeps playing like this, we're gonna be fine. I was down on him but he's finding his touch and starting to use his great strength to benefit the athleticism.
2. Our 3 point defense was very good after the first quarter. Against Cleveland and all their shooters, they were 4-13 (or 14, I can't tell) in the last 3 quarters from 3. They were encouraging misses too because if Gibson, Parker, or Williams got a skip pass, someone contested that 3.
3. In the middle two quarters our P and R defense was very good. Elton played them smart and Jason Smith plays them better than anyone else on the team. I was very encouraged with his effort. No more DNPCD for him, I hope.
4. Thad was much better. A few ball-handling mistakes, but 21 and 6 on 9-15 is pretty damn good in 46 minutes! Wow, I hope he slept well last night.
5. Concerned about Iggy's role in the offense. It seems to facilitate him to take contested jumpers with the shot-clock winding down. We gotta get high-percentage, open looks for him. Hopefully, as Lou and EB develop, we can do that.
Watching 13-plus games this year as well as practically every game, including preseason, over the last several years, I had a thought.
One wonders why they even need the Princeton Offense. Don't get me wrong, I can see the value of a read&react scheme, like the triangle or Adelman's Offense, that enables the team to flow into the openings and slice to the bucket, with more off-ball screens and such. Especially if one can create a motion scheme that somewhat replicates the open floor feeling you get during transition.
However, the Princeton, even the pro-style version EJ is a disciple of, was born to take advantage of certain skills while negative certain weakness. He often references the 60s Celtics as running a Proto-Princeton, yet that team had a great high-post big who could pass pretty well(Russell), surrounded by skilled players who could shoot or cut very well. Princeton's teams were smart, unathletic groups that could shoot.
But when you are actually more athletic then most of your opposition and the opponent sags off in order to prevent the driving threat that most of the roster represents, why run a system that requires the overplay/backdoor in order to thrive? It makes no sense, honestly. Why would anybody overplay any player on this team? And without the overplay, some of the staples of this offense are nullified, especially without bigs who are natural passers.
This is just a bad experiment. If Stefanski wanted a more intuitive-based motion offense, he should've went with Turner out of Houston(Adelman's disciple) or Shaw(Jackson's student). Even Aaron McKie has been exposed to the triangle.
At least with the Triangle, there would be a innate tendency to create more postup opportunities among Iguodala, Thad & Brand, plus Speights. In the Triangle, you would not have Brand hanging out at the 3-point line playing hot potato while time runs off the clock, which makes no sense.
This team takes too many jump shots by design. They need a scheme that creates more driving angles and closer opportunities. When Mo was here, this team was about relentlessly driving to the paint. Now, its more about finding the open jumper. They don't get to the line nearly as often as they used to. I hope they can adjust this offense to the actual personnel on the roster, instead of hoping for skillsets not present.
All valid concerns. It really bothers me seeing Brand getting dribble handoffs 30 feet from the hoop. They serve no purpose at all. I did like it when he took one of those and drove right to the hole, though. I'm pretty sure it pissed Jordan off.
I love it when he just drives it, because it forces the defense to react, that's what you want. But EJ's schemes seem to be about constant facilitating. Brand's a score-first, playmaker-2nd type. Trying to turn him into Webber is not good use of personnel
Good post.
It gets to the hearth of the issue. The team comitted 160M to Iguodala and Brand. They need the right offense for those guys (if there is one.)
As mentioned, they might want to incorporate more Triangle, Triple-post action. That keeps Brand(& Speights when he returns) in prime scoring zones as well as putting Thad in the same areas.
i like sean's comment...
maybe this offensive system just isn't working? as brian has mentioned before, sometimes the PO just isn't even evident!
i'm gonna lay off this team for a while...and go watch the eagles
They don't run the princeton offense very often so who knows if it's working or not?
It seems to confuse Thaddeus Young though
Two plays from last night's game stand out in my mind. One saw Sammy get a pass at the top of the key, hold the ball looking for somewhere to get rid of it, and eventually finding Lou Williams cutting baseline for an easy layup. It was actually a really pretty pass, and one that Sammy completes maybe 2% of the time.
The other play had Brand in the low post, Sammy in the high post and Iguodala on the wing. AI9 fed Brand in the post, Sammy dove to the hole, then cycled out of the lane, created a void right in front of the hoop. Brand made a strong move right in Sammy's wake and hit a pretty lefty runner. That second play is pretty much textbook triangle, right?
You hit the nail right on the head on the 2nd point. The Triangle would have Brand running in either the low block, elbow or high post, all areas he would be dangerous in. Also, Speights would live in the same zones pretty much.

Happiness is not expensive.
Today when there is so much information available on all human emotions and the reasons there of no one has any right or business to be unhappy. Actually there was never a reason for people to be unhappy. Abraham Lincoln said in the early 19th century that 'most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.' However at that time there was no internet, literature was scanty and hardly available. Today, with the internet all the information and the images that one may require to collect about happiness, are easily available. Vikram a student of 6th standard volunteered to collectRead More →

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has warned Facebook founder
"All of a sudden you have shareholders that are directing the company and demanding answers and getting upset if things aren't going as well as they hoped," Mr Wozniak said.
Speaking to The Australian Financial Review after hosting a seminar in Sydney on Monday morning, he said he was glad Mr Zuckerberg had held out from going public for so long, "because once you go post-IPO, all of a sudden Mark Zuckerberg can be more at the mercy of the owners".
"That is something to worry about and something they have to watch out for, but I think he has got a strong enough focus to continue on as he has been going, and I really hope it goes well for them."
The long-awaited Facebook IPO is expected to take place on Friday, amid estimates the social networking company founded by Mr Zuckerberg in 2004 will be valued at almost $US100 billion.
Some doubts about the long-term prospects for Facebook have hinged on the perception that the company has thrived because it is privately held.
The view is that Mr Zuckerberg has been able to drive the business in line with his own vision, rather than worrying about failing with investors' funds.
Mr Wozniak said some of the happiest times of his career with Apple were before its listing, when a small group, including him and Mr Jobs, made decisions based purely on the motivation of making the best possible product, rather than impressing stakeholders.
Mr Wozniak lavished praise on the drive and idealism of Mr Zuckerberg and said the success of the Facebook IPO would be very important for the internet industry and for inspiring a new generation of entrepreneurs.
The man who helped start Apple with Steve Jobs in his garage said he would love to be a first-up investor in the offering, regardless of the initial asking price.
Mr Wozniak said that while a lack of deep financial knowledge meant he was in no position to judge the right stock price, he would be keen to buy into Facebook, because he believed the listing had a "deeper symbolic meaning".
"I admire Mark Zuckerberg so much," Mr Wozniak said.
"I think he is still able to think like a young idealistic person and is making decisions about what he thinks is right and wrong. He is genuinely more focused on openness and what people are getting from using Facebook, than he is on the money.
"It is really obvious for someone like me to look and see that."
Dissenting voices are starting to be heard before the listing on the US Nasdaq exchange.
Bloomberg reported that a global poll of 1253 investors, analysts and traders found 79 per cent believed Facebook was not worth $US96 billion.
Some expressed doubts about Facebook's ability to sustain its growth rate, and the risks of a sudden decline in its popularity among fickle web users.
Oppenheimer & Co investments director Bob Rich told Bloomberg that at the high end of a projected range of $US28 to $US35 a share, Facebook would be valued at 99 times its earnings, a higher multiple than 99 per cent of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Meanwhile, Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, who owns about 4 per cent of the company, has renounced his US citizenship, in a move apparently aimed at reducing his tax bill.
The Brazilian-born 30-year-old is a resident of Singapore and said it would be more practical to become an offficial Singapore resident as he intended to live there for an indefinite period of time.
US media reports said that a record 1780 people gave up their US passports last year, compared with 235 in 2008, before a rise in the income tax rates of the country's highest earners next year.
The tax rate is due to rise from 35 per cent to 39.6 per cent.

Just curious if anyone else was out there. We have been using the Lact-Aid since DD was one month old and she is now just over 7 months. We have been extremely lucky to find a great group of amazing mommas who have donated milk to augment my low supply and have not had to use hardly any formula.
I think the biggest question in my mind is what our breastfeeding relationship is going to look like at one year. I try not to look too far ahead and take it day by day, but I still wonder. Are we going to keep going? If so, what are we going to put in the bags (I can't imagine our luck with donors will last forever, nor do I want to take milk for smaller babies)? If not, will my small supply hang around so she can "snack" without the Lact-Aid at all? Lots of questions I don't know the answer to. And the biggest, how long can I get hubby to help me clean the darn things every day?
WOHM to Leo (4/08) and enjoying the journey with DH
Announcing the arrival of Clara in August 2013!
It looks like your post might have been missed so I'm bumping it up for attention. Anyone have suggestions to share?
In terms of the cleaning, I'm not as familiar with the Lact-Aid, but with my pump parts, I got baskets so that we could throw them in the dishwasher and microwave sterilization bags for the tubes.
Oh thank you. I wasn't looking for advice per se, just wondering who else was out there. Unfortunately, the Lact-Aid parts can't go into the microwave, I already asked the company that. :)

I have had Botox on crows feet and now have droopy lip - asymetrical smile and I smile a lot... How long will this last?
Botox on Crows Feet Causing a Droopy Lip
Doctor Answers 7
Crooked Smile After Botox for Crow's Feet?
The complication you are describing is a potential side effect of injecting Botox in the crow's feet. It occurs when the crow's feet wrinkles below and to the corner of the eye are injected or injected incorrectly. The cheek muscle can become affected or relaxed, which in turn can affect your smile.
Unfortunately there is no "reversal" available to you, but if you smile a lot, hopefully that means it will wear off more quickly. If not, you will probably see the problem affect you for about 3 months.

Did you mean lid or lip? Anyway it will resolve within 3 to 6 months. Usually the lesser amounts injected last very little time.
From MIAMI Dr. B
Botox and a droopy lip
Your Botox was injected too low for your crow's feet and affected your cheek muscle that causes you to smile. The effect will last for several months. Exercising your cheek muscle by lots of smiling may help the Botox effect wear off a bit more quickly.

It is not permanent, unless there is another reason( coincidentally ) for this to occur such as Bell's palsy.
Droopy Lip after Botox Cosmetic for Crows Feet
Botox Cosmetic is a great treatment for temporary wrinkle treatment. The effects of Botox uncommonly occur outside the intended area causing droopy eyelid or lips. This side effect is temporary and usually resolves within three months. One may use eye drops if droopy or ptotic eyelid develops. However, time is the only option if a droopy lip or asymmetric smile develops after Botox Cosmetic. Speak with your cosmetic provider regarding any concerns from treatment.

Botox has to be injected in exactly the right muscles.
This is a well known complication of Botox. It was injected too low in the cheeks, most likely. Should be gone in three months. Unfortunately no treatment.

James DeGale, as smooth and confident an operator as any of the seven British boxers at these Olympics, was near his best in beating the veteran Egyptian Mohamed Hikal in the first round - but acknowledged a huge task awaits him in the quarter-finals.
If the Londoner gets past the American Shawn Estrada in the next round on Saturday, he will meet the Russian Matvey Koborov, whom DeGale and everyone else rightly describes as, "pound for pound, the No1 in the world".
Nevertheless, he can be pleased with an opening performance that settled nerves among the British boxers, some of whom are still a bit shaken by the late withdrawal of Frankie Gavin. The Birmingham lightweight and world champion was Britain's best chance of gold until he failed to meet the 60kg limit, a struggle he has endured for at least six months.
Gavin has sent messages of goodwill to his team-mates and DeGale said later: "That one was for Frankie. We were all gutted [when he pulled out]. That bout was everything to me. I had to get the team off to a good start."
DeGale, southpaw lead hand hanging near his waist, looked relaxed as he worked his way around the orthodox jab of Hikal in a lively start, but trailed 2-3 after round one. The referee cautioned the British boxer for a slap in the second, although generally he had the better of the exchanges and led 5-3 going into round three.
Hikal boxed with more urgency but this allowed DeGale openings over the top of his wilder lunges. He beat Hikal to the punch with right leads, then was spoken to again for hitting and holding. Switching to orthodox, DeGale was boxing with freedom and confidence and had a 9-4 lead to protect in the final round.
The Dale club star kept the points ticking as he coasted towards the finish and the 13-4 score was a fair reflection of the difference between them. The variety of DeGale's punches and his balanced movement, laterally and in and out of his southpaw stance, were too much for the Egyptian.
He expressed confidence about beating Estrada, "who is not in the top five", but conceded his bout with the outstanding Korobov "will be my gold medal fight". The head coach Terry Edwards described DeGale's performance as "excellent".
"On his day, he can beat anyone," said Edwards, who is 64 tomorrow and in charge of the team at his third Olympics. Commenting on the negative reaction from some critics in Britain about Gavin's inability to make the weight, Edwards said: "Talk is cheap. If those people were in my top 10 of wisdom and knowledge, I might take notice." DeGale added: "People over there don't know what's going on over here."
In the opening bout of the tournament, Korobov showed why he is the hot favourite at 75kg. The southpaw from Orotukan had no problems beating the Swede Naim Terbunja, 18-6, and has a week to rest before he faces Bakhtiyar Artayev, who won the welterweight title in Athens. Aryetev put the Morrocan Said Rachidi down twice on the way to beating him 8-2.
The other Britain due to fight in the first round, Tony Jefferies at light-heavyweight, goes through on a bye.

2. weblogic server 10.3.2 (wls1032_win32.zip under Installers with Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence). This involves only one file.
we've downloaded the files under windows x86.
These are the minimum files to be downloaded.

2. Re: Developer 11gMaahjoor Jan 7, 2013 8:48 AM (in response to Alok Dubey)could you kindly send the links for each download? i will be very thankful for this.
3. Re: Developer 11gFrançois Degrelle Jan 7, 2013 8:51 AM (in response to Maahjoor)Hello,1 person found this helpful

Here are the links

4. Re: Developer 11gMaahjoor Jan 7, 2013 8:57 AM (in response to François Degrelle)believe me François, you help me a lot in many occassions, specially your blogs.
you send a link which Contains Oracle Forms and Reports 11gR2 (126.96.36.199.0), thanks for that,
what about weblogic server?
5. Re: Developer 11gMaahjoor Jan 7, 2013 9:02 AM (in response to François Degrelle)and besides, i saw a note like below
Note: Oracle Forms and Reports version 220.127.116.11 is part of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (22.214.171.124). Forms and Reports PS5 (184.108.40.206) can be downloaded from My Oracle Support.
it means if i install the Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1, i have install everthing.
if it is so, then from which link i could download it?
thanks again.
6. Re: Developer 11gAlok Dubey Jan 8, 2013 10:20 AM (in response to Maahjoor)weblogic server can be downloaded using the following link.
As per your statement, you need to have the userid and password for accessing the metallink to download the patchset 5.
say If you are installing the fusion middleware(126.96.36.199), then it means that the you have all the patches released prior to 22.214.171.124; you should download the patch sets released after the 22.214.171.124.

7. Re: Developer 11gMaahjoor Jan 8, 2013 10:41 AM (in response to Alok Dubey)Thank you Alok Dubey,
but i have still a confusion,
francos provide the link for oracle 11g forms and reports, instead my Manager ask me to provide him oracle lates complete fusion middleware which is compatible to oracle 11g.
could you help me with that?
the francos link provide only forms and reports, i need complete fusion middleware.
8. Re: Developer 11gAlok Dubey Jan 8, 2013 11:35 AM (in response to Maahjoor)Currently the forms and reports are part of Fusion middleware. Fusion middleware contains many more components. the components have to be selected/deselected while installing depending on the license you possess.
you can find out the certification matrix in the following url.
if u've installed the oracle database already, you need to chose the fusion middleware version depending on the oracle database version. Otherwise, you need to download both the oracle database 11g and oracle fusion middleware 11g. The link francois has provided is the link for downloading the fusion middleware only.

SPORTS >> Beyond driven: Jacksonville senior finds his inner drive on and off court
Leader sports editor
He says hes shy, he speaks like an intellectual, he acts like a driven force, and those who know him say hes all of those things. Airic Hughes, a senior guard for the Jacksonville basketball team, hasnt seen much of the spotlight early in his career at JHS, but has made the most of his senior season.
He made himself known immediately, leading the team with 16 points in its season-opening win against North Little Rock. It was the first time in several years that Jacksonville had beaten the Charging Wildcats, and Hughes was the player of the game.
His efforts earned him The Leaders Spotlight Player honor that week.
Immediately after that game, first-year Jacksonville coach Vic Joyner was asked where this kid came from, but Joyner wasnt at all surprised by the play of his teams smallest member.
I dont know why nobodys heard of Airic Hughes, Joyner said. When I got here, it didnt take long to see he has more drive, and is willing to work harder than anybody we got. Hes just driven. He wants to get better and hell do what you ask him to do in order to get better. I love coaching kids like that.
Hughes toiled on the junior varsity team last year, but admitted he wasnt happy there. Once Joyner came in, he knew what he had to do.
Last year was like someone was putting restraints on me, but I didnt get too upset about it, Hughes said. My grandma, I talk to her a lot about things, she told me to just be patient, keep working hard and trust in God. I trust her so I did what she said.
Hughes and the rest of the Red Devils went through most of the summer not knowing who their coach was going to be, but it didnt matter to Hughes.
I just wanted to play. I was going to work as hard as I could all the time. So whoever the coach was, wouldnt have a chance not to play me.
When Joyner left rival North Pulaski to take over at JHS, his impact was also immediate, and good, according to Hughes.
You could just tell the intensity was up, Hughes said.
You either come with it 100 percent, or get out. Offseason was grueling. We were lifting weights three times a day. We were running. He put a big emphasis on conditioning, but thats good. Thats what we needed. He told us when we were running that we were going to be in better shape than the teams we were playing. He told us were going to see guys on the other team tired, bending over trying to catch their breath. He was right. Weve seen that.
The Red Devils are currently 7-2, which is miles ahead of where they were at this time last year, but its still not enough for Hughes, who says hes not even close to satisfied.
Im not satisfied at all, Hughes said.
We could be playing a lot better. Weve made too many mistakes. Im one of them. I had a big turnover against Russellville that helped them come back on us in that game. We have to learn to put teams away. We didnt do that. We should only have one loss.
Hughes was referring to a 30-point drubbing the Devils took from Forrest City earlier this season, but he says he still wouldnt be satisfied had they beaten the Mustangs. Im not satisfied until we hang a banner, Hughes said. Theres not any basketball banners in that gym. I want a championship banner, at least a conference, and hopefully also a state.
Hughes understands the difficulty in getting a banner this season. The Red Devils play in the AAAAA-East, which some say is the strongest conference the state has seen in several years. But Hughes in undaunted by the monumental task of beating all those teams enough times to win that banner.
The good thing is we have a legit shot to do it, Hughes said. I know what people are saying about the conference, but I know what theyre saying about us too. And we have a legit shot to do this.
Im glad the conference is considered that tough because thats who you want to measure yourself against, the best.
Hughes love for his school runs deeper than that of the ordinary student or fan. He hearkens back to his childhood days of watching DaShaun Ford run the court in the Devils Den, and remembers wanting to play in this gym back then.
Now that hes there, he feels at home, especially with a big part of his home sitting in the top left corner of the bleachers of home games.
My grandma comes to every game and sits in the same spot, and I love that, Hughes said. Its comforting to look up there during a timeout or something and see her there. I already know shes going to be there, but its nice to look up there and see her.
The 5-foot-9 seniors life runs deeper than basketball. He carries a 3.8 grade-point average and scored a 25 on his ACT. Hes currently hoping that his application to academically esteemed Baylor University is accepted.
He doesnt know exactly what he wants to do in life, but he knows he wants to study history at Baylor. The processes of life have always carried a fascination for him.
Its always been interesting to me how people deal with major hardships, Hughes said. I think about stuff like that all the time. Why do cultures act like they do and have their practices and rituals and things like that? Why do rulers treat people like they do? I think about why theres so much persecution.
Hughes also understands that history can only tell him that those things happened, and that his questions teeter between history and philosophy. But he says he hasnt come up with many answers.
No I havent, Hughes said. Not any good ones.
Although he says he doesnt know what he wants to pursue as a career, he does already have at least one option in mind, an option that stems from his love and loyalty for Jacksonville.
I dont know what I want to do, but I know I wouldnt mind coming back here and coaching Jacksonville, Hughes said. Its where I feel at home. I just like it here.

Please view Large, thank you….
A Lovebird is one of nine species of the genus Agapornis (Greek: αγάπη agape 'love'; όρνις ornis 'bird'). They are a social and affectionate small parrot. Eight species are native to the African continent, while the Grey-headed Lovebird is native to Madagascar. Their name stems from the parrots' strong, monogamous pair bonding and the long periods in which paired birds will spend sitting together. Lovebirds live in small flocks and eat fruit, vegetables, grasses and seed. Black-winged Lovebirds also eat insects and figs, and the Black-collared Lovebirds have a special dietary requirement for native figs, making them problematic to keep in captivity.
Some species are kept as pets, and several color mutations were selectively bred in aviculture. Their average lifespan is 10 to 15 years.

Do you have an idea for a story you'd like to pitch to the Roundtable? We'd LOVE to hear it!
On each episode of the podcast, we invite writers to come on the show and pitch their story idea to us AND our esteemed Guest Host (usually a published author, editor, or publisher). Your story will be center stage as we discuss it with you, ask questions, and offer suggestions on how to make it a strong as it can be. We tend to gravitate to genre fiction (fantasy, scifi, thriller, etc), but all stories will be considered (because really, the attributes of a good story are pretty universal. Discuss).
Seriously, this podcast is nothing without you, the courageous writer committed to making their ideas as strong as they can be. So fill out the form below and we'll look over your idea. If we think it would make for a good discussion, we'll let you know and start the process for getting you on the show.
- We try to match your story ideas to a Guest Host that has some background or interest in your type of story. If we accept your request to be on the show, there may be some lag as we try to find a good Guest Host match for you. Thanks for your patience. The current waiting time for an episode two to three months (with our apologies for the long wait).
- Please do not offer written and completed stories for the show. We do MUCH better with story ideas than we do with completed and written stories… it's easier to evolve strong character and plot arcs or thematic elements if those details haven't already been set down in your mind. An outline and few chapters is fine, but more than that becomes a challenge.

Originally written on Start 'N' Park Blog | Last updated 10/7/14
After Landon Cassill left the BK Racing team early this week, every indication has been David Reutimann would take over for Cassill. Well those indications were well found as Fox Sports' Lee Spencer is reporting that is exactly the case, with Reutimann running the full 2013 season for BK Racing. He will be in the #83 Burger King Toyota with Pat Tryson as crew chief. Travis Kvapil will be back in the #93 Dr. Pepper Toyota with Todd Anderson returning as crew chief, also confirmed by Spencer's report. Reutimann and Kvapil each were present for testing earlier this month at Daytona, and Reutimann raced the #93 at Daytona last year and select races in a third car (#73) for the organization. This is great for Reutimann who is still trying to land on his feet since being dumped by Michael Waltrip Racing after the 2011 season. My reservations about the move is what went down with Cassill that caused him to leave and make comments about his contract not being fully honored. It always makes me laugh when a driver leaves a team due to a contract not being honored (usually code for they didn't freaking pay me) and someone ALWAYS lines up to take their spot. Gee, you think they're going to pay you now? This is all a side tangent and speculation, so we'll see how it plays out all year long. By Michael Metzger

Back in August 2013, I wrote about the simple, it-just-works mentality of Apple products. I was experimenting with dd-wrt at the time, and once I had worked out that it definitely wasn't the simple option, went out and bought an Apple AirPort Extreme to serve our family's NBN connection to every device in the house capable of communicating via TCP/IP.
And for a while, everything was great. The AirPort Extreme dished out fast, reliable Wi-Fi, just like it says on the box. A few years pass without incident, and when I move to a different state, I trust that my network setup is robust enough to require zero maintenance. But soon enough, my family begins to complain about internet issues. Unfortunately for me, the kinds of issues they describe necessitate an in-person visit to ascertain what the issue actually is.
I'm back in Hobart now, and the Wi-Fi situation is even worse than I imagined. I realise something is seriously wrong when I try connecting to the Wi-Fi. For some reason, the wireless network is broadcasting its SSID even though I've set it to be hidden. It also tells me the password is wrong, even though I, nor anyone else, has changed it since it was setup. I ask my parents more questions about it. We give it a reboot and leave it at that. I'll need to witness a failure to figure out what's wrong, not have it broken to begin with.
As luck would have it, the Wi-Fi dies a short time later. And that's pretty much all I have to go on, given that I don't have any other way of connecting to the unit to check it out. All the devices in the house are wireless and don't have an Ethernet port; any troubleshooting that I was planning to do is severely hampered by the fact I can only connect to it wirelessly.
I mean, there's an old XP box that still has one, but I'm not sure I want to try troubleshooting anything from that. My mum has a Surface (Pro?) that has an USB dock with an ethernet port, but I'm loathe to install some potentially dodgy Targus Mac drivers for it on my MacBook Pro. My sister has a MacBook Air, which doesn't have an Ethernet port, and even my old Chromebook doesn't come with an Ethernet port. Of course, I own a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter, but I left it back in Brisbane, and buying another for the sole purpose to diagnosing a Wi-Fi issue seems somewhat wasteful.
Giving up on diagnosing the issue for now, I ask what my family does when the Wi-Fi stops working. They power-cycle the device, which fixes the issue for anywhere between a few hours or a few days. Given that the Wi-Fi can drop out multiple times a day, that's kind of an issue. So we power-cycle the unit again, which fixes it until I can work out what's wrong.

Any free parking lot?
Posted 19 April 2012 - 09:10 PM
I am checking in on Thursday, but I need to leave the hotel as soon as I check in.
Is there any nearby parking lot that I can only park for maybe 1 hr and leave ASAP without being charged at all?
I know there is a parking lot/garage for Hyatt, but they charge you once you go through the gate...
If anyone can tell me where would be a good temporarily parking lot, I appreciate a lot!!
Posted 19 April 2012 - 09:18 PM
Oh I skipped the part where you said just for 1 hour. Your best and cheapest bet is to either get someone to drive your car around and pick you up later, or use the CTA lot.

It's kinda far though (at the end of Balmoral Ave.)

When we stayed in one in Michigan, they took our car license plate numbers so it wouldn't be ticketed as a non-guest using their lot. Dunno if the one out here does the same, though.
The least painful in Rosemont --quite right there is no free there-- would be the CTA lot, but note they don't allow overnights or over 12 hrs of parking (risk of ticket and being towed). If you want free for a short time, you could chance your luck with McDonald's or Giordano's about a half mile up the road, but that's entirely your own risk (odds 99:1 that they won't appreciate non-customers taking up in their lot). In Rosemont you basically just have to bite the bullet in one lot or the other, really.

I would suggest checking the CTA's site first. They give rates for 24 hours, and as long as you keep the meter fed there should be no problems. Looks like you can even feed those meters over your phone now.

Ah, that was just off what the sign in the lot said when I last parked there, like later 2011 I think. They have staff/the meter maid checking the lot so many hours, and had it noted that cars left for over 12 hours are considered abandoned and will be towed (prevent people from paying larger numbers of days so they can avoid O'Hare parking fees - city knows how ppl think lol). Now, should you go move your car every 12 hours or so, then yeah, that would be okay, technically, since each time you move it/your ticket expires, you'd be getting a new spot, ticket and "lease" on parking.
