Lest you all think that I'm handling this with nothing but strength and grace, I'm here to tell you that it ain't so.
This shit is hard, and I'm finding myself dealing with all kinds of unattractive and conflicting emotions. I'm hoping that admitting them – to you and to myself – will help me to figure a way to deal with them.
Let's start with resentment, shall we? For starters. I'm resentful as hell at Bill. A consequence of the man's denial is that he has no idea of how dire Mom's condition really is. He thinks it's perfectly okay for her to be alone for upwards of two hours (I don't want her to be alone ever). He argues with her about how often she needs to be moved or changed or have her sheets adjusted. He's taking nearly obscene advantage of me; he takes his time coming home from work, he leaves dirty dishes in the sink and expects me to do them (I know this because he told me the other day that he doesn't expect me to do the dishes, but he keeps leaving them, anyway. I went two days before I couldn't stand it anymore). His grown sons are visiting next week, and he's expecting me to come to tend to Mom on his days off (and even if he weren't expecting it, I don't trust him to be available to Mom because he still thinks it's okay for her to be by herself). As a consequence, I'm having to do a lot of juggling to make sure I'm free to see that Mom is well cared-for.
Second, I'm frustrated by wondering what Mom's waiting for. She's miserable. Her pain meds have been adjusted three times in eight weeks, and it's still insufficient. She only has use of one arm. She has two positions, and neither of them is accessible to her alone; she needs someone to move her. She's literally wasting away. As far as I can tell (and I recognize that it's not mine to tell, but still), there is almost nothing in her life that's worth putting up with this kind of pain. Mom used to be a strong, fiercely independent woman, and seeing her like this is exceedingly difficult for me. I am willing to admit that I will be relieved when she finally decides to let go.
Third, I really miss my family. While I want the girls to visit, I don't want them to have to be here for too long; seeing Mom like this is difficult for me, I can only imagine how hard it is for my children. Plus, there's nothing here for them to do but watch movies and bad t.v. My husband is having to take up all the responsibilities of our household; I'm literally never home long enough to do much more than throw a couple of dishes in the dishwasher before I fall exhausted into bed. It's especially hard on the weekends; my family went out and had fun with the Wayfarer clan yesterday, and I missed all of it. Tomorrow is our 13th anniversary, and I'll not be able to celebrate it because I'll be here from around 9 to a little after 8 (that's if Bill comes right home from work). I want to go out with my girls, I want to have fun with my husband, I want to do something – anything – other than sit here waiting for my mother to die.
For as silly as it may sound, I miss my cats.
I miss my life. I'm not thinking. I'm not reading. I'm not really writing. I'm not able to see my friends or interact with people. I'm not exercising or eating right. I am entirely out of the loop about what's going on in the world.
I hate that I feel like I am always on the verge of tears. I'm tired, and I really want this to be over.
See? Not all strength and grace.

Flea Flicker
January 17, 2010 by USA Post
Flea Flicker:Everyone and their brother predicted this Saints-Cardinals game would be a defense-optional shootout, and the home team is doing its best to prove us all right.
After a downright silly touchdown run by Reggie Bush, the Saints broke out the trickery in the form of a 44-yard flea flicker to Devery Henderson for a score.
Running back Pierre Thomas took the handoff from Drew Brees and immediately flipped it back to him. Brees then threw a strike to a streaking Henderson to give the Saints a 28-14 lead.
Arizona would have been better served to employ the Tecmo Super Bowl strategy where you crush the quarterback on any running play just in case.

Crushers lose 5-3, need a Saturday win to keep season alive
ANTIGONISH – The Amherst Ramblers will head home with a chance to put the Pictou County Crushers out of the Maritime Hockey League playoffs.
Pictou County Lightning finished fourth in bantam boys Division 3 provincials on the weekend in Truro.
The recently-formed team finished first in its pool in the nine-team competition, ending the weekend with two wins and three losses. The Lightning lost 72-69 to the Dartmouth Lakers in the final seconds of an overtime game and Colchester Basketball Association defeated them 46-44, getting the winning basket with seconds to go. Pictou County defeated Yarmouth and Fall River, but lost by six when they faced the Lakers a second time in the elimination round.
Leading scorer and team MVP for the tournament was Jaren Johnson who had 33 points in the overtime loss to the Lakers, and led the team in scoring by averaging 22 points per game over the weekend. Johnson was twice named game MVP. Other game MVPs were Chris Gillin, Chad Russell and Matt Russell. Coach's awards were presented to Chad Russell and Glen Cox.
"I am proud of how the team carried themselves and competed throughout the weekend," said Lightning manager Erik Nielsen. "We never gave up, and did very well, considering they have only been playing together for the past few months."

It Doesn't Kick, It Fist-Pumps: Snooki Is Pregnant
See, kids? This happens when you smush unprotected.
With the next "Jersey Shore" season already in the can and a spinoff with JWoww in the works, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's next major project will apparently be seeking out matching animal-print onesie/diaper combos and a way to spray-tan an infant. Yep, the fun-size MTV star is reportedly pregnant, according to a combination of The New York Post, The Washington Post and E! News' Marc Malkin.
(I've always wanted to source those three outlets on the same story.)
The 24-year-old reality star is reportedly about three months along with the child of boyfriend Jionni LaValle, according to The New York Post's report. Polizzi's representative didn't directly confirm the rumor with People, but The Washington Post report claims that Malkin got confirmation from an unnamed source himself.
yes, it's true. SNOOKI IS PREGNANT!!! mazel tov!!! source just confirmed the ny post story with me.— Marc Malkin (@marcmalkin) February 29, 2012
The New York Post claims that with all the inevitable new-found attention - because she absolutely needed more - Polizzi plans to "bankroll her new mommy-to-be status into becoming 'the next Kourtney Kardashian'."
Yep, it's hit that point: a Kardashian is somebody's positive role model. And not the dead that in life was a successful attorney, either.
Never forget, kids: one day, this is what "Mommy" or Auntie JWoww will be showing that baby. "Look what Mommy did before she had you!"
It'll make a lot of things make sense, future Snooki-baby. Trust us.

With so many big names on their offense banged up, the Dallas Cowboys are just hoping that they can reachWeek 1 without any further setbacks. In the case of wide receiver Miles Austin , they are making sure of it. Owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Austin, who missed the first two preseason games and hasn't practiced since Aug. 4 because of a hamstring strain, will be held out for the rest of the preseason.
"We're basically just wanting to make sure he's ready for New York," Jones said of Austin in a radio interview Tuesday. "That's where it's all headed for him. He probably will need some work, just logic tells you, before he gets in the game, but we're not interested in seeing him (playing in the preseason)."
Fantasy Analysis:
Austin missed a lot of preseason action last year because of a hamstring strain and then missed six regular-season games due to injuries to each hamstring. Given how often Austin has been affected by this type of injury, I'd say it's far from certain that he'll actually be active on Sept. 5 versus the Giants. But if he just stays healthy, Austin could be a very high-end WR2. He scored seven touchdowns in parts of 10 games last season.
Also, it's worth mentioning that Jerry Jones said wide receiver Dez Bryant is "fine," and Bryant himself said that despite his patella tendinitis, he'll be playing against the Giants "without a doubt."

RUSSIAN Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev broke ranks with the country's establishment to call for the early release of the jailed Pussy Riot trio.
Speaking to members of ruling party United Russia, the former president said the women's actions made him ''sick'', but continued imprisonment was ''counterproductive''.
''A prison term is a very strict, I would say terrible, responsibility,'' he said. ''The punishment they have already experienced, the time they've spent in prison, is long enough to make them think about what happened.''
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich spent five months in pre-trial detention before being sentenced to two years in jail in August over a ''punk prayer'' in a Moscow cathedral. TELEGRAPH

Fort Wayne Eliminates Lake County
September 10, 2012 7:55 PM ET
(Eastlake, OH) - Kyle Gaedele hit three doubles and knocked in three runs as The Fort Wayne Tincaps defeated the Lake County Captains by a final of 13-6 at Classic Park. The inning that sunk the Captains season was a six run sixth. In the inning, The Tincaps had six hits including two doubles. The big hit in the inning was a two run single by Yeison Asencio. The single made the game an 8-4 contest. From that point in the inning, Fort Wayne added a pair and the score was 10-4 after six innings.
Fort Wayne hit three homeruns in the ballgame. Lee Orr, Travis Whitmore and Yeison Asencio all connected for long balls. Kyle Gaedele had three doubles on the night and also had three RBI. Asencio ended the game with 4 RBI and Fort Wayne was 8-17 with runners in scoring position. The Tincaps will travel to Appleton, Wisconsin to take on the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in the best of five series for the Mid-West League Championship.
For the Captains, Jake Lowery hit a homerun and a double. Jose Ramirez hit a two-bagger and so did Alex Lavisky. Jose Ramirez led the team in RBI's during the post season he had seven including one in the ballgame. Jake Lowery had three runs batted in and Leonardo Castillo also had one.

Nick Pasquale (1-1) was saddled with the loss after pitching three innings, and allowing six runs, four earned. Danny Jimenez, Joshua Nervis, and Francisco Valera also all pitched in the ballgame.
RHP James Needy (0-0) got the nod for the Tincaps and did not get a decision. Needy allowed four earned runs in two and two thirds innings pitched. Colin Rea (1-0) got the win for the Tincaps. Rea pitched three innings and allowed just three hits. Rea pitched scoreless baseball and fanned three.
Lake County's 2013 season begins on April 4th vs. the Lansing Lugnuts at 6:30PM. For tickers and information during the off-season visit the Captains website at Captainsbaseball.com

Shares of diversified property giant
Goodman's shares rose sharply from a 12-month low of $3.22 to nearly $5.60 amid hopes its multiple earnings streams and strong core markets would provide earnings momentum.
Goodman, which operates in key global markets, had impressed with double-digit operating earnings growth in the first half, and a 10 per cent growth in assets under management.
Development and management operations contributed more than 40 per cent of earnings, with strong growth in China, continental Europe and Australia helped by more than $1 billion of new commitments.
Goodman Australia Industrial Fund, Australia's largest industrial real estate investment fund, raised more than $1 billion from investors, with support from domestic superannuation funds and large international investors.
Analysts, such as
The sector bears fear that share price momentum across the sector has been exceeding market fundamentals such as growth in demand for office and retail space, putting pressure on prices.
Goodman's diversified asset base, lower gearing, higher interest rate coverage and pre-funded developments strengthen the balance sheet. But according to

Heading into Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, the New York Yankees had interest in Milwaukee Brewers third basemen Aramis Ramirez and Philadelphia Phillies third basemen Michael Young, however it looks like neither one will be on the block before the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31.
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has reported that Ramirez will be on the disabled list with a knee injury, which means he won't be back for the Brewers until sometime in August.
The 35-year-old third basemen was hitting .271 with five home runs and 26 RBI in 54 games for the Brewers before being put on the DL earlier this month. Ramirez still has two years and $30 million left on his deal, so if the Yankees were going to pursue him, it wouldn't have been the typical rental and could have played multiple positions in the Yankees infield and lineup.
With regards to Young, Danny Knobler from CBS Sports reports that the Phillies are now not going to be selling, especially since they are now 49-49 and just seven games back of the first place Atlanta Braves in the National League East.
Young is in the final year of his contract and would have been a three-month rental if he were dealt to the Yankees. The Boston Red Sox were also rumored to be in the mix for the 36-year-old Young.
Young is currently hitting .288 with seven home runs and 31 RBI in 90 games for the Phillies, who may finally have found some life into their lineup.
The Yankees were looking for some right-handed power in the wake of Mark Teixeira's season-ending wrist surgery last month and Kevin Youkilis' back surgery that has taken him out until late September. The team will get Alex Rodriguez back on Monday, but they still need a bat to help compliment Lyle Overbay at first base, who has been playing every day.
So now with both Young and Ramirez off the market and off the board for the Yankees, GM Brian Cashman will have to look elsewhere in order to make a deal.Tags: Baseball, Michael Young, MLB, New York, New York Yankees

The 2007 New York Racing Association stakes schedule highlights the inaugural Breeders' Cup Challenge with Belmont and Saratoga each hosting challenge-day events. The powerhouse race days highlight NYRA's stakes schedule, which features 38 grade I races and nearly $33 million in stakes purses. NYRA tracks will host more than one-third of the nation's 107 grade I races scheduled for 2007.Saratoga and Belmont Park, along with Arlington Park, Del Mar, Keeneland, Oak Tree at Santa Anita, and Monmouth Park are partners in the Breeders' Cup Challenge. The winners of 24 Challenge races automatically qualify for the corresponding divisional race in the eight-race, $20-million Breeders' Cup World Championships at Monmouth Park Oct. 27.On July 28, opening weekend at Saratoga, ABC-TV will televise the $750,000 Whitney Handicap (gr. I), the $250,000 Go for Wand (gr. I), the $500,000 Diana Handicap (gr. IT), and the $200,000 Alfred G. Vanderbilt (gr. II). The winners of those races will automatically qualify, respectively, for the Breeders' Cup Classic - Powered by Dodge (gr. I), Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Distaff (gr. I), Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf (gr. IT), and TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I).ESPN will be at Belmont Park Sept. 30 to televise live the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup Invitational (gr. I), the $600,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational (gr. IT), the $600,000 Beldame (gr. I), and the $400,000 Vosburgh (gr. I). Race victors here will automatically qualify for the Classic, Turf, Distaff, and Sprint.
"NYRA's participation in the newly-created Breeders' Cup Challenge is certain to gain regional and national interest in many of our premier races," said Bill Nader, NYRA senior vice-president and chief operating officer. "NYRA agreed to provide its support of an industry initiative to strengthen mainstream awareness of the Breeders' Cup World Championships by establishing blockbuster race days on the first Saturday at Saratoga and the final Sunday in September at Belmont Park."NYRA's biggest races will be run in their customary slots. Aqueduct will host the $750,000 Wood Memorial (gr. I) April 7 and the $300,000 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile (gr. I) Nov. 24. The traditional local prep for the Wood Memorial, Aqueduct's $200,000 Gotham (gr. III), will be run March 10. The jewel of Belmont Park's spring/summer meet – the 139th running of the $1 million Belmont Stakes (gr. I) – will be run June 9. The Belmont heads yet another gigantic race day that will also include the Manhattan Handicap (gr. IT), the Acorn (gr. I), and three grade II races: the Woody Stephens Breeders' Cup, the Just A Game Handicap, and the True North Handicap.Belmont Park's Fall Championship meet will feature the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup Invitational (gr. I) Sept. 30, which will be run as an invitational for the first time.At Saratoga, the 138th running of the $1 million Travers, presented by New York Lottery (gr. I), will be run Aug.25. The $500,000 Woodward (gr. I) was moved from Belmont Park to Saratoga last year and will return to the Spa Sept. 1.As for changes, NYRA has added a new race for Belmont Park's Fall Championship meet. The $100,000-added Xtra Heat Handicap for fillies and mares at six furlongs on the turf will be run Oct.14. And, because of the proximity of the Breeders' Cup, New York Showcase Day will be run Oct. 20. To accommodate the Breeders' Cup Challenge, Saratoga's Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap was moved from its usual spot on the second weekend of the meet to the meet's first Saturday.
The Matron for 2-year-old fillies at seven furlongs Sept. 15 at Belmont Park is now a grade II race. Also downgraded were Aqueduct's Long Island Handicap for fillies and mares at a 1 1/2 miles on the turf Nov. 3, which goes from a grade II to a grade III, and Belmont Park's Lexington for 3-year-olds at nine furlongs on the turf July 8, which is no longer a graded stakes race. Additionally, NYRA has eliminated the Genuine Risk Breeders' Cup and Floral Park handicaps, a pair of six-furlong sprints for fillies and mares.

Pots Designed for Specific Foods
Things to Consider
Practical issues based around comfort, convenience and food are a rich source of inspiration for functional work. As a potter focusing on function and form, what could you create to ease the schlepping of chips and dip in separate bowls? Are there food combinations you like, but elements of the presentation that you'd change? For example, do you like warm apple pie with ice cream on the side, but hate how the ice cream starts to melt? How could you design a dish that solves this problem?
Ideas, research and designs begin by asking questions about function and form that assist our special needs or uses. By choosing function as a guiding limitation, you're free to explore alternative forms, evaluating them by their function, proportion, line, shape and space (both negative and positive). Begin the process for developing a new form by drawing preliminary sketches, and experimentation and play in the studio building parts and prototypes, which results in a 3-D "sketch book" of shapes and forms.
Developing a Form—The Chip and Dip Example
Before beginning the design for my Chip and Dip, I had been creating multiple vessel forms for more than fifteen years. In addition, I had researched the historical multiple vessel forms from a variety of cultures throughout time. Over the ages, potters have had the impulse to put two pots together creating new forms and uses for them. For example, multiple vessel pots have been found as early as the Neolithic period in locations such as China, Peru and Iran. Many of these pots had a variety of functions in religious and marriage ceremonies, as decoration or for daily use. My multiple vessels also revolve around a defined function and the relationships between the individual pots when placed together creating new space, line and volume. Successful pots are created by understanding the function and constantly evaluating how the pieces go together.
The challenge here is not to just remake the Chip and Dip, but to use the explanation of the process as a jumping off point to inspire new forms and designs for holding and serving other foods.
Designing a Chip and Dip
When deciding on size, envision the amount of chips and the quantity of dip required for the chips before you start making bowls. I usually make five sets of bowls and straps then mix and match the parts until each becomes aesthetically pleasing. If needed, I go back to the wheel and remake some of the bowls.
Timing is Everything!
For multi-piece projects, all parts need to dry at the same rate. Depending on studio conditions, spraying the form with water throughout the process might be necessary. After adding each piece, wrap the piece in plastic to slow the drying. It might be necessary to wrap sections of the pot if one area starts to dry faster than another. It is best to work on the Chip and Dip over a few days, leaving time for areas to set up to support attachments and desired forms.
Throwing the Bowls
I throw all the pieces in the same sitting and create 4–5 sets at a time. Depending on the firmness of the clay and rate of drying, I plan my studio schedule to have a 3–5 day period to work on the multiple forms. I also throw multiple parts for each Chip and Dip, allowing myself to make critical aesthetic decisions during assembly. By working on several Chip and Dips at the same time, new ideas develop while I work on each pot. This design requires two bowls for the construction/assemblage, which should be proportional to each other and, when placed side by side or held on top of each other, give the sense of belonging together.

Allow the bowls to set up and reach the soft side of leather hard. Completely finish the large bowl by cleaning the rim and trimming the foot before adding any other parts. Cut and manipulate the small bowl to fit the shape of the strap later.
Making the Strap/Handle
Throw the strap as a donut, opening the clay all the way to the wheelhead and pulling the walls of the clay to the edge of the bat (fig. A). To finish the walls of the strap, taper the rim (fig. B). Cut and let set up to the soft side of leather hard. Turn the donut upside down and trim the bottom of the strap then shape it to match the thrown end. Place the strap on a canvas and cut one end, then move each end to create a shape for the desired design (fig. C). Remember, the top will hold the smaller pot and the shape needs to allow hands to enter and leave with chips. Let stand to set up more so it can stand on its own.
Since there are multiple pieces to the Chip and Dip, timing and attention to the attachment areas is very important. Before the pot can be assembled, all the pieces need to be at the correct stage of leather hard. To control the drying time, the pot stays covered in plastic until the desired firmness is reached. Sometimes spraying pieces with water and covering to maintain correct firmness is necessary.
When the pieces are ready, mark the location of the handle on the large bowl (fig 1), score the rim (fig. 2). Shape the handle making sure the ends of the strap are wide enough to straddle the large bowl (fig. 3). When the handle can stand on its own, score and slip the ends and attach it to the large bowl (fig. 4). Using a soft sponge, chamois or fingers, stretch the strap (like pulling a handle) into shape to change the tension of the clay and prevent warping and twisting. Support the handle in the center with a prop made from leather hard clay (fig. 5). Place a piece of paper between the prop and the clay parts to ensure easy removal. With the prop still in place, hold the small bowl up to the handle, making sure the shape and proportion work well. Cut the bottom edge to match the curve of the top of the strap (fig. 6). I rework the tension, alignment and shape of the strap and check all previous attachments.
Attaching the Small Dip Bowl to the Handle
Score and slip the edges of the bowl and handle before attaching the small bowl to the handle (fig. 7). Place a coil around the inner and outer seams to help secure the bowl. Be sure to work in the clay and blend it so the coils disappear. After the bowls set up to leather hard, add handles to top bowl and trim the rim of the large bowl. I find that this visually finishes the form creating one new form from many parts. Make sure the strap can support the top bowl and will not lean over. Check it often and adjust as it dries. Clean rims and attachments. Cover and let the piece dry slowly.
Finishing Touches
I go back to the attachment of the strap and add coils of clay to blend in the edges and round the rim, leaving no gaps or unfinished edges. I let the pot dry slowly to minimize warping and leaning.
I would like to thank the Phillips University Legacy Foundation for their funding that has supported my research and experimentation with multiple vessel forms. Process shots taken by Joe Molinaro, Lexington, Kentucky.

- January 29, 2013
Auburn, Maine – Auburn Public Library, Beacon Hospice, Edward LIttle High School, and L/A Arts are collaborating to present a performance and discussion of A Finished Heart on Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. in the Community Room of Auburn Public Library at 49 Spring Street. The event is open to the general public, with a special invitation to high school students and teachers. At Edward Little High School, students will be focusing on themes raised by the piece during the weeks before and after the performance. The Library will highlight a display of books and other resources on care, illness, loss, and emotional health oriented toward teens. This event is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Maine Humanities Council, a private non-profit organization affiliated with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
When his husband of sixteen years became ill, author and composer Eliott Cherry cared for him at home. He also recorded their conversations in his diary. After Chris Chenard died in 2007, Eliott wrote poetry, prose and music and combined these with his journal entries to create A Finished Heart.
Eliott Cherry will perform dramatic story and poetry accompanied by a musical score, with Martin Perry at the piano. The audience is invited to attend a post-performance discussion with the author, facilitated by a counselor from Edward Little High School, and the volunteer coordinator of Auburn's Beacon Hospice. Participants will have a chance to share experiences and questions related to care-giving, dying, and loss.
By sharing the intimacy of two men who have committed their lives to each other, Cherry hopes that A Finished Heart will stimulate participants to discover compassionate ways to be with dying individuals and their loved ones, and to broaden their perspectives on dying, care-giving, grief, and life. Further goals are to build respect for the diversity of human relationships, offer a role model and hope for gay youth who may despair that spousal relationships are not possible for them, and to strengthen bonds among family members. The piece expresses an experience of losing one's spouse and the complexity of end-of-life experience. Cherry writes:
Being with Chris as he died and losing him focused me on how vulnerable we are in critical situations. Our last days together spurred us to reach pinnacles of devotion and care.
A Finished Heart has been performed at the University of Maine, the University of New England, the University of Southern Maine, the Holocaust & Human Rights Center of Maine, and the Cambridge, MA Public Library as well as for many faith congregations. The work has also been presented at the New England Consortium on Life Stories. Performances have received support from the Maine Arts Commission, the Maine Humanities Council, and the JSL Foundation. Eliott Cherry, a composer and performer, is working to bring A Finished Heart to diverse audiences throughout Maine and beyond. Martin Perry, a freelance pianist and recording artist, specializes in music of the 20th century.

Not only is the 6-foot-10 power forward young for his age, but he hasn't even focused solely on basketball until this season.
"He's a very intriguing kid," Worcester coach Ed Riley told Scout.com. "He's 6-foot-10 ½ and he weighs about 212. He's a little on the thin side. He's not your typical high school or AAU product. He was a 3-sport athlete in a small high school. He's fundamentally sound, knows how to play basketball. He can do lefty-righty, runs and has a high motor. He plays at a guard pace."
Plus, McLimans doesn't look the part … yet. "I'm not sure if he shaves yet," Riley chuckled.
Add up the parts – age, versatility, perimeter shot, under the radar – and you've got all the trimmings of a guy Beilein would value high and eventually transform into a winner. He specializes in seeing down the road and turning Joe "The Plumber" into Joe Alexander.
In McLimans, Riley sees a kid who is now focused on one sport and ready to break out.
"I think his development and lack of notoriety is the most startling piece. Very few people knew about him. He played baseball and volleyball and never devoted anything extra toward the basketball piece. This is the first year he's paid extra attention to the basketball.
"What he liked about Michigan is what Coach Beilein has done with his previous bigs. He liked the system and he can knock down the shot. When he puts on weight and becomes a 235 pound man, he'll be a trail 3-point shooter with a lot of versatility."

Re: Bottles
Hi Merlin,
Actually, there are great pump tops that mate with the 30ml violet bottles -- I've used these for just about every blend in a carrier, including 20% Helichrysum in the Jojoba/Coconut cream base. Granted, with just Jojoba, it'll be slightly thinner (and I've used blends without the cream as well)... these are the most functional, and aesthetic, pump bottles in the store.
I haven't tried the 2mm orifice caps with a carrier oil based blend; I expect it would work, though you may just be tapping out 1 drop at a time (may be what you're needing, maybe not).
The same bottle also adapts a glass eye dropper, but the pump top is more convenient for the majority of applications, except - for example - applying to the scalp through hair.
When measuring from the 5 and 12ml bottles with pipettes, it's really very easy to take the orifice reducer out of the neck to get at the essential oil with a pipette. If you'll be making blends from these oils in measured amounts most of the time, you can just leave the orifice reducer out. Sometimes I'll take off the black plastic ring left from the cap to make sure the top seats all the way when closed, but honestly I haven't noticed a difference with the ring left on or taken off -- meaning I haven't seen oil leak with the cap on and the orifice reducer out, ring or not; though I have seed others not knowing the orifice reducer was gone, open the bottle a little too vigorously, and lose a little bit of essential oil.
Hope this helps!

Re: Bottles
In reverse
I believe we have 'treatment tops' for the 60ml bottle - request along with bottle purchase in the comments box of the checkout page.
Yes, I've used just that blend: 20% Helichrysum, 2% Ginger CO2, 3% Frankincense CO2 and 1% German Chamomile CO2 in the Jojoba Coconut cream base, in the 30ml violet bottle -- it always seems to go a long way -- or I give it away to someone who's hurting more than I am...and THEY tell me the wonders it did for them.
THE CARRIER IS NOT IMPORTANT except in these two ways: 1) Consistency, which relates to ease of use. The cream base is like lotion; it could be challenging to measure into your bottles, but it comes in a pump top lined aluminum cannister. Verry functional for that. Fractionated coconut will make Jojoba seem thinner; it's a nice base if you're massaging large areas. 2) SOME CARRIERS ARE KNOWN TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION - most assured is the action of Borage. Some arthritis sufferers use it alone topically (don't they know about helichrsum?
Evening Primrose has about half the amount of "GLA" as Borage; despite it's higher cost, Borage is more cost effectve as a GLA (Gamma Linolinic Acid -- reduces formation of inflammation signaling hormones, though this may not be its direct action). Other oils known to have anti-inflammatory properties of signficance: Hempseed, Coconut, and Tamanu. Likely Pomegranate seed as well.
If I were thinking to include therapeutic activity of the carriers to synergize with that of the essential oils, I would first try a 50:50 blend of Borage and Coconut, and/or 2parts Borage, 1 cocconut, 1 hempseed. Want to really get farr out? 1 part each Borage, Hemp, Coconut, and Tamanu. Not sure if these would be better than Borage alone (it's so well researched, which skews the perception of its efficacy compared to oils possibly just as good - maybe better - but have yet to be examined in controlled research.
YOU CAN make an appointment to pick up an order next day; these are the only visits we are currently prepared for.

I entered a league real late this year, and did not get all the rules.
Well, it's a keeper league and I can keep 2 players as of right now, they're debating making it 3.
Here is my team.

Right now, I'd keep ARod and Dunn I believe, but Dunn is debatable. He'll obviusly give you a ton of HRs and walks and decent RBIs but does anyone think one of my starters is more worthy than Dunn? Or maybe even a different hitter is more valuable then Dunn? If they add a 3rd player who should I keep?
Thoughts?? Suggestions??

Brookfield Asset Management has vowed to steer clear of any involvement in the sale of a controlling stake in
The Canadian private equity giant and one of the largest real estate investors in the world, holds the debt over the 38.6 per cent bundle of shares once owned by the Thakral family.
Brookfield has engaged PPB Advisory as receivers and has committed to giving the insolvency firm complete independence as it seeks a fair market price for the stake.
This means that Brookfield will not be privy to information about a rival bid for the trust.
An offer for the shares will trigger a takeover approach for Thakral as the size of the stake breaches the minimum 20 per cent investment threshold in a listed entity. So when Brookfield foreclosed on the loans it acquired last year from Singapore's government wealth fund, GIC, it simultaneously launched a buyout of 70¢ per security for the trust.
However, Thakral's directors have already decided to repel the approach, and are awaiting a bidder's statement from the Canadian firm before issuing a formal rejection.
The board has characterised Brookfield's offer as too low, given it represents a 27 per cent discount to the net tangible asset value of 96¢ per security.
Most in the market assume the Canadian firm will have to bolster the price if it is to gain control of Thakral and its prized $1.3 billion Wynyard development site in Sydney's city centre that recently won provisional approval from the state planning authorities.
Others have claimed Brookfield's grip is unlikely to be loosened by a rival bidder as the structure of the receivership sale may limit the playing field.
Rather than running a public tender process endorsed and monitored by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, as PwC did last year when it was offloading a strategic stake in Oaks Hotels and Resorts Group, PPB's Brett Lord and Christopher Hill have launched an expressions of interest campaign for the stake. According to a senior source this allows for a speedier sale.
Mr Lord said he welcomed "the opportunity to engage on a confidential basis with [Thakral's] committee of independent directors . . . as well as other interested parties in relation to the secured stake".
It is understood PPB has drafted in help from a firm of mergers and acquisitions lawyers, partly as a defence against any future appeals to the takeovers board.
A source familiar with the negotiations said PPB would remain in communication with Brookfield during the sales campaign, though both have agreed not to discuss the takeover.
The source said the former Thakral stake would be awarded to the "superior offer" and stressed "it will make no difference if that happens to be someone other than Brookfield".
The Canadian firm has also appointed Grant Thornton as administrator of the shares.
The first creditors meeting will be held tomorrow.

Buffalo Wild Wings
In order for us to obtain our goal of increasing the profit by 3% in a 12 month period we needed to come up with who, what, how, and why we are going to get this goal accomplished. There are four different major categories of people that we are going to try and target. The first are the local sports families. The second are the typical sports fanatic. The third are the College Students. And the fourth are the traffic goers on route 24.
Our slogan at the time is "ALL THE ESSENTIALS". But in order for us to reach different types of target market we need to add maybe another phrase after our slogan. For instance tagging on the phrase "Food, Fun, Beverages and your favorite sports" for the sports families and college students. But for the older group of sports fanatics and people who are looking for a cold one with the boys or with the gals, tagging on the phrase "Wings, Beer, and your favorite sports". We will use these different phrases with the places that we are going to advertise to these specific targets, which we will get to next.
The first type of media we are going to use is event sponsorship to reach to sports fanatics and older men and women. Year around there are bowling leagues and softball leagues and soccer leagues that need to have team sponsors in order to pay for their equipment. This would be a perfect way to get our logo on a jersey and to promote coming to hang out after the game. I know that if I was sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings that me and the boys would head to our sponsors place after the game.
My personal favorite that we are going to do is our support media outdoor signage on route 24 targeting the flowing traffic coming from Fort Wayne, IN and Toledo, OH. There are going to be ten signs involved, five coming from ...

Including an explanatory introduction and selected commentaries on the work, this edition makes Sun Tzu's timeless classic perfectly accessible to modern readers.
"The Art of War is among the greatest classics of military literature ever written. Sun Tzu warfare is as applicable today as when the book was written some 2,500 years ago....Pick up The Art of War and read it."--General A.M. Gray, Marine Corps Gazette
"As a reflection of the Chinese mind, this little work is as relevant as any Confucian classic."--The Times (London)
"Westerners have dozens of books to choose from if they want to learn about Japanese philosophy and military tactics....But when the Japanese, especially those in business, want information on the subject, many turn to an ancient Chinese, not Japanese, military manual, The Art of War....Shows managers how to be fearless in resolving conflicts."--Boardroom Reports
"Shows managers how to be fearless in resolving conflicts."--Boardroom Reports
"A brief tract on strategy that has been admired in China for centuries. Some of Mao Tse Tung's most eloquent thoughts are merely rehashes of Sun Tzu and his interpreters."--The Los Angeles Herald Examiner
"Samuel Griffith's original and scholarly translation of The Art of War shows how good scholarship can make an easily readable translation that is much more useful to modern readers."--The Philadelphia Inquirer

I also think friendly air could be very helpful in dealing with harassers. I tried the different primary weapons on the scythe on harassers in VR earlier today, and both the default gun and the halestorm takes out a harasser in about 10 seconds (around 15 seconds for the Light PPA). If pilots are able to approach from above (where they can't get shot) and lead the target properly they should be able to take them out without any hassle.
I'm not sure how this will work in practice though, so I'm gonna try doing it tonight.
Also Shredders. V
Lots of fun in TacGir tonight. I'm not going to obsess over how it could have been better - it's Friday evening and I've spent the majority of the time after office work building a patio so I'm chuffed to have been able to play PS2 let alone have some semblance of efficacy. Thanks all. Sorry I had to disappear to quickly - real life caught up with me.
I know the feeling. Well played, Sir! Really liked it!
We did a rather confused and slightly scattered debrief just after you left. Some minutes from that:
- Micromanaged leading works really well for RPS. We pull a lot more than out own weight when we are directed often and in great detail. Likely because we don't work with formalised manoeuvres, and do the same kind of thing often, so people don't get into the habit of doing stuff according to a set plan.
- Smoke and NV seems to work really well, especially during the first crucial couple of minutes of an assault. It's pretty easy to push people all the way back to the spawn through a cloud of smoke. Then it's "only" a matter of holding them in there, while they switch out their optics for IRNV...
- We need to be better at holding together spontaneously. Sticking together should be the norm, not the exception, as it currently is.
- What did I miss from the debrief?
I was really happy with the idea of theme weeks from the last outfit meeting. Did anything ever come of that? Should we do a "squad cohesion" week? I'll make a post!

Just finished an extended session, towards the end of which I was in Charlie Squad led first by Ksempac then by Tatourmi. We focused heavily on squad cohesion and acting together. I've a couple thoughts on it before I finally get some sleep:
-We occasionally got stretched out over long distances, or when running across bases. This led to us coming in as more of a trail than a solid wedge on the offense. I think the best way to avoid this is to move in "steps"; have the point man move to, say, the next building, then the squad holds there and waits for the entire group to be together again. They then proceed from building to building or rock to rock, clearing each and reforming each time.
-More medics. Also, I'm beginning to think we should always try to have 2/3 Maxes, since they've proved highly effective at point offense and defense.
-We still really need to learn how to defend a point building properly; holding position and aiming on a door, not popping out for pop-shots, all that stuff. Perhaps it would make a good topic for a second Theme Week?
-"Blob" really needs to become a standardised command, even just for comedic value.
Sunday 28th July 2013: Platoon 1: Delta
We ran out of room and I offered to open Delta mid evening. Oddly no one joined me for quite a while but hey ho lol!!! Even funnier was that after trundling around on my own for a bit I then didn't notice when people actually DID join so sorry for the slight silence to start off We started up to the NE of Eisa and things went smoothly. We had quite a bit of out of base fighting in the hills (which I do really enjoy). Once things we cleared up all squads met up to take the Octagon. This is the first time I've been near the place and it reminded me of some medieval castle! Not really a fan of the vehicle bay dumping things outside of the wall, trying to get gunners in alive is quite tough there, but we got into armour in the end. We came across quite a bit of armour just South of the Octagon and managed to push through it on the way to Bridge Ward. Although we took this reasonably well we had enemies to the West in the hills that needed sorting before we could carry on with our push. I think somewhere about that time Eso arrived and set up an air squad which was perfect as we were starting to struggle with Reavers. Next Delta were sent SW to Old Shore and once we'd managed to get off the ice (with a rather nice, but luckily harasser free, crossing) and behind them in the hills we took it without much fuss. Our last mission for the session was Frostbite Harbor, yes right against their warpgate! Firstly we tried a direct base assault but even with the backup of the air squad we were struggling with the constant flow of backup from their warpgate. Once Elli tower fell Alpha and Charlie were freed up to help so Delta took the ridge to the SW of Frostbite to try and stem the tide from their warpgate. It was probably our best action of the night in a pretty harsh spot. We managed to keep a sundy up most of the time although sometimes we were down to just my tattered corpse lol! It did tie down quite a large armour force though so hats off to all you Delta guys for a tenacious hold there! After this capped we all headed over to Ymir for a Harasser race to the TR warpgate, no cheating of course... A good night methinks!PS2 a.k.a. PurpleSnow

Paratrooping works! And it's fun! We had about 8 paratroopers and one amazing pilot (HiggC take a bow!). We mostly did LA drops with loads of C4 and put hilarious amounts of the stuff on armoured targets to make them go boom. The strikes themselves were short lived, effective for destroying armour and fun. If doing this suicide runs it's best to target armour because infantry just get res'd so quickly. We also dropped a point a couple of times and had medics with us. That can also be very useful to move the fight forward. We moved on once the friendly zerg caught up with us.
What we could do better in future:
* use paratroops in regular play - rather than having a dedicated squad for a whole evening just do it for a few minutes when it would be useful.
* do different drops - we mostly did LA bombing runs but hacking turrets, capping points and holding them with medics, max crashes and long range AV would also be really useful.
* work on the comms - we found it awkward having a pilot in a separate squad because they couldn't see the squad point etc. Also coordinating effectively to avoid downtime is tricky. However, we did have a good amount of success having targets called out so thanks all for that.

Alpha Squad Leader, StratGir 2013/07/01:
After the inital mass-drop on to Indar Comm, with it's nice gang of cheating defenders, we then managed to make an absolute mess of pulling harrasers to get to Indar Exc.
From then on however, we settled into something of a role we'd fill for the rest of the night - flanking squad. For the attack on Quartz ridge, we snuck a sunderer up above and came at them from the south (ish). For attacking Hvar Northgate, we went through the south gate and then brought a Sunderer up within the south walls.
When the second attack on Hvar stalled, we went back to warpgate and did a balcony drop, which led to a continued, progressive fight within the tech plant building itself, which is something the squad as a whole agreed we'd really seen and also enjoyed. This move (joined later by bravo and charlie) seemed to be key in the actual capture of the tech plant.
Even at Allatum, after being the first on the scene to resecure Research, we aimed to flank as part of the max crash - it turned out the opposition was light enough for it not to matter, but it had become part of the night's doctrine.
There were some problems with maintaining squad cohesion throughout. Squad members often took a lot of cajoling to get to group up (although there were points where it worked naturally very well, inside Hvar and on foot from ridge to ridge at Indar Ex), and a few members repeatedly needed shouting at whenever we tried to group up. I also didn't do a very good job of managing squad composition, often being too vauge, and not seeing the problem until too late.

Since Fishpig asked for some feedback, here it is:
It was my first time under your lash(er) and I had quite a fun evening.
What I liked, e.g. was you getting yourself in a dangerous position to get your squad a well placed spawn (beacon).
Also your short and precise orders were followed adhoc and you asked for our opinions in advance to some serious decisions.
To tell the truth, I was so absorbed by the game, my memory seems a bit damaged.
Please forgive me, if I mixed you up with LaKroy at some point.
All in all, it was a cool evening, with a lot of different locations, some pretty awesome kills (a mos? being mag-killed) and great teamplay.
I picked up PL last night, which led to some good fights on Indar and a last-ditch attempt to take one of the tech plants on Amerish for the alert, which saw possibly the fastest continent redeploy I've seen for months. It was done, and everybody in gals, in less than 2 minutes, so really a massive well done to everybody for that.
The downside was the fact we were dancing to the TVA tune last night, which led to hopping all over the map to fill requests. There was also a fair bit of strategy chatter going on over the clear, which is a side effect of the new comms system, made worse by having to use TVA liaison when everybody can hear it. So, if you got frustrated last night by our inability to stay still, or the constant chatter about the TVA, I apologise! I tried to dig our heels in on several points (especially when we had pulled vehicles), but I think we did some good work and curried some points with the TVA.
We also had a debrief mid-evening, which was good. Bravo had a new SL, and it was great to chat with them and give feedback and encouragement.
EDIT: As an aside, I'll be away until Monday 12/8 now, getting married!

Congratulations Cei! [/offtopic]
Congratulations on the marriage! I missed last night - but it sounds like it was fun, anyone want to explain the server crash death nasty that seemed to stop everything?
Yeah, that was just weird. We were just finishing up the debrief at the warpgate when everybody (I think?) got disconnected from the server. Those with SSDs were back in game within about 2 minutes, and it all seemed fine. We gathered up a squad's worth of people, plus Charlie doing air stuff, and went to battle. After a while we started noticing that we were being killed by invisible players, invisible vehicles and could do literally nothing about it - plus it was a tad laggy, even with low player counts. After being killed for the millionth time by an invisible sunderer with a grenade launcher (that didn't cause explosions, just instadeath), most people packed it in for the night.
I had a lot of issues yesterday with disconnections and crashes in the afternoon (it seemed to be the case with quite a lot of people in the squad). I'm guessing something was a bit funny on the server...
I played for about an hour yesterday and then quit after I got a CTD.
While I have to say our PL (I forgot the name) did a good job and the SLs seemed to follow orders and keep their squads on their respective objectives, I was still disappointed. This comes mainly from the in-squad teamwork and communication. Everyone was in the same mumble and most people would have a problem distinguishing voices between squads efficiently. When we are all in the same channel our Platoon goes to waypoints, but when we are there the grunts mostly run about as headless chickens without communicating much to others.
Now, I haven't played that much with all of you. I joined a few weeks before I went on an extensive vacation during June/July, but it seems to be a recurring problem. Almost every time I join everyone is in the same channel with mostly PL/SL and a few others speaking. There is no communication about who went down where, if you need a heal, if you need ammo, what classes you are bringing into play.
I understand that there is a social part in the game and you want to play with a lot of people, but you can talk to 12 people in a squad (might have the wrong number in my head) while promoting a more efficient RPS. Pretty much always after I start playing I suggest we split up into squad channels, which usually works well. But even then a lot of people remain silent.
To conclude I would urge two things:
1. Split up into squads for more efficient gameplay. Especially if squads are sent to different objectives.
2. Be vocal in your squad-mumble. If you don't want to talk a lot, at least relay information on enemies etc.PS2 Ingame: Agenious
Mumble: Age
TacGir was invented to provide a format for tight tactical play within the outfit, whenever someone is interested. If there are enough people online and interested, this is an alternative to running about like headless chickens. It requires that there is someone willing to lead though, but don't be afraid to try that out yourself. Have a plan (good or bad does not matter), don't stress, make sure your squad sticks together. Fundamentally, it is not hard, and can become very rewarding.
We had an impromptu Lasher+Lancer squad up on a spire near Snake Ravine Lookout last evening, which was very effective. We could Lasher the base and Lancer all the armor that came to support the enemy. Between us we probably wasted 8 prowlers, 4 lightnings, a few sundies, a mossy or 2 and at least one vanguard. And a whole load of infantry. My score/hr looked like it was double xp weekend.
Plus, it was good fun.

Divers in Australia have captured rare images of the Pyrostremma spinosum, or pyrosome, sea creature off the coast of Tasmania, Australia.
It is so rare it has been dubbed the 'Unicorn of the Sea' and can grow up to 30 metres long -- the equivalent of two double-decker buses laid end-to-end.
Its hollow, translucent, cylindrical body is made up of thousands of tiny clones called zooids that pull water through its tubes and feed on plankton before pushing the filtered water back out.
Also called a sea squirt, the pyrosomes are classed as pelagic, which means they are free-swimming and live in open water rather than near land.
This means they are rarely spotted and only diving groups are likely to catch a glimpse of the giant creatures.
The long tube consists of a pointed end with a hole on the other that can be as wide as two metres.
Each pyrosome feasts on plankton and according to Rebecca Helm from Deep Sea News, it is a cross between the Borg in 'Star Trek' and a clone in 'Star Wars.'
Helm said: "They're giant, terrifying looking, and trolling through the depths of the ocean, waiting for you to swim in one end and get stuck. Maybe.
"But fortunately, in addition to being slow moving filter feeders, they're also delicate and fluffy."
The pyrosome is so delicate one diver is said to have even described it like a feather boa.
Michael Baron from Eaglehawk Dive Centre recorded the footage of the giant creature off the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania.
He said it was one of the few areas in the world where a wide range of 'oceanic gelatinous plankton' comes close to shore.

UDAY´S FAVORITE YANK (NEW YORK POST) By NILES LATHEM WASHINGTON 02/01/05)
Source: http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/39637.htm
NEW YORK POST Articles-Index-Top
February 1, 2005 -- WASHINGTON An Iraqi-American businessman under investigation in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal was placed on an honor roll of former regime thugs by Saddam Hussein´s demonic son Uday just months before the war, The Post has learned.
Detroit-area real-estate developer Shakir al-Khafaji, who received millions of dollars worth of vouchers to buy discount Iraqi crude in the U.N. oil-for-food program, appeared on an "Honor List" of Iraqis considered most valuable to Saddam that was published by the Uday Hussein´s newspaper, Babil, in November 2002.
The article, which names Khafaji as a "political activist for the regime," has deepened suspicions among federal prosecutors and congressional investigators that he was a second secret agent operating inside the United States to weaken U.N. sanctions and undermine U.S. foreign policy.
Sources told The Post that interest in Khafaji has intensified in recent days in the wake of the guilty plea of Virginia-based oil trader Samir Vincent. Vincent admitted in federal court two weeks ago that he lobbied influential American bigwigs, including former GOP vice-presidential nominee Jack Kemp and former President Jimmy Carter, in return for almost $5 million in cash payments and lucrative oil deals from Saddam.
Khafaji, a father of three who develops strip malls in suburban Detroit and has murky business ties in South Africa, is the subject of a Justice Department criminal probe, and at least one congressional committee investigating the oil-for-food scandal wants to call him to testify, investigators told The Post.
Khafaji, 50, who has lived in West Bloomfield since 1975, did not return phone calls seeking comment. His sister Intissar has said in statements that her brother is a humanitarian who is being smeared as part of a campaign to discredit opponents of the war and sanctions. Khafaji´s presence on Uday´s honor roll indicates that the regime considered him a valuable asset, as the article called it a "list of great men," that was being published "for the sons of our great people to see."
But there was a bizarre twist. Because the front-page list also contained names of Iraqi intelligence agents abroad and a mysterious agent based in Pakistan who was identified as a liaison to terror master Osama bin Laden, Saddam ordered hundreds of security agents to shut down his son´s newspaper and confiscate copies, according to reports at the time.

HttpDeployer Proposal
This Proposal was submitted as a Google Summer of Code 2011 Project Proposal at the Eclipse Foundation.
Eclipse developers use JDT to build awesome Java applications. They use Mylyn to focus their work. They use PDE to domesticate the power of EclipseRT. And they use command line tools to deploy their bundles and features. To improve this, I propose to implement tooling that allows for one-click deployment of any existing Eclipse Feature, for example Eclipse Orion, to Amazon's EC2.
With the help of the EclipseRTP Cloud Images it is now very easy to deploy an Eclipse runtime with Equinox and p2 to an EC2 instance. Anyway, as soon as it comes to the provisioning of own bundles, you have to complete several steps to get them running. P2 allows to pull bundles from remote repositories, but it's not possible to push bundles to a remote installation of p2 out of the box. Most people therefore deploy their features to a local repository, upload this repository to a web server and use p2 to pull the repository from the web server and install the feature. This project aims to improve this workflow by providing an one-click solution.
Run-As configuration
The first thing I want to implement is a "run-as" configuration using the Eclipse Launch Framework that allows a one-click installation of an Eclipse feature to a running EC2 instance. To manage the remote EC2 servers I propose to implement an OSGi HttpService to run on the server. This service will provide an interface to upload a p2 repository to the server which will be put to a temporary directory. Having the repository on the remote host allows to use the p2 API to pull and install the repository locally, all controlled over the HTTP Service. Given the fact that this approach requires only one http connection to the remote server, it should be easy to use behind almost every cooperate firewall.
The next step is the implementation of an export dialog that allows the deployment to a new EC2 instance. The export wizard starts a new EclipseRTP EC2 instance, installs the HTTP Service and use the same code as the run-as configuration to deploy the chosen feature. To manage the EC2 instances I'll use the AWS Java SDK (Apache License) and push it to Orbit.
Eclipse Context
The new HTTP Service provides a generic service interface that might be used for different use cases, too. For example it might get deployed on a large amount of EC2 instances to run mass updates on all instances. It'd be awesome to ship the service with EclipseRTP some day, but other projects are possible, too.
The IDE plugin is also a standalone feature and might be shipped with PDE or Libra on the long run. It might also become an independent plugin for EC2 users alternatively.
Win Condition
Being a game-developing Nerd it's now time to copy gaming terms to the daily communication. A Win condition is a term used in game development to describe the condition(s) which causes a player or a group of players to win a game. This project will be considered won (e.g. completed) as soon as a one-click deployment for Eclipse Orion (which is used as an example Eclipse feature) to the Amazon Cloud works without applying black magic or cheating (e.g. without temporary hacks used to fake / mock parts of the project).

SURPRISE – It's a good thing the Palo Verde baseball team practiced how to celebrate winning a state championship at the end of Thursday night's practice at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium.
For a program that had never played in a state championship game before Saturday, the fifth-seeded Titans sure handled themselves well – especially right after they knocked of No. 3 Phoenix Northwest Christian 5-4 in the Division III state final at Surprise Stadium.
The win for Palo Verde snapped Northwest Christian's 18-game winning streak and gave the 52-year-old school just its third team state title over the last decade. Its football team won the 4A-II championship in 2005 and the boys tennis team captured the 4A-II crown in 2009.
"This is a great moment for our school, it was a long time coming and I'm so happy for our kids," longtime coach Jim Mentz said. "We needed a boost – a shot in the arm – to tell the community that Palo Verde is proud and back.
"We can do great things; I can't say enough about all these guys."
Senior right-hander Tyler Fallwell, a four-year player, came in for a one-out save with a runner on third in the bottom of the seventh inning after starter Jared Cochran had twice come within one strike of securing the game but gave up hits each time, letting Crusaders get in a position to tie or win.
Just like Cochran, Fallwell pulled within one strike of ending the game, with a 1-2 count But this time, the fourth pitch of the at-bat resulted in a hard shot to senior Tahmani Williams center field. Once Williams secured the catch, gloves and hats were in the air.
"When my name was called I was ready to go," said Fallwell, who threw 102 pitches over eight shut-out innings in Friday night's 1-0 semifinal win. "I could have thrown 500 pitches yesterday but I felt no pain today because my adrenaline was pumping."
Williams, a three-year player, finished the game 3 for 4 and drove in a pair of runs as junior shortstop Danny Hunt went 2 for 4 with a double and a game-tying RBI triple in the top of the fourth inning after the Titans fell behind 1-0 in the second.
Hunt also scored the go-ahead run in that inning to make it 2-1 on Williams' bloop single to no-man's land in left field one at-bat after his triple. Palo Verde never trailed from there.
"This means everything," Hunt said about the win. "We were jut hungry, we wanted it."
Senior left fielder Zach Redding, another three-year player, led off the fifth inning with a double to the left center gap. Then he made it 3-1 two batters later on a sacrifice fly to center field by Cochran, who finished his season 8-2 on the mound with the win.
Palo Verde (26-4) scored twice more in the inning with the help of three straight hits, including RBI singles by Williams and Johnny Dorame after Hunt doubled.
But Northwest Christian inched back and scored once in each of its final three at-bats to pull within one run of the Titans. The Crusaders even had a runner on third, 90 feet from tying the game in the bottom of the seventh inning but Fallwell shut the door and knew exactly how to react thanks to Thursday's trial run.
"It was a great experience," Fallwell said. "I'm glad I got to be the one to throw the last pitch and throw my glove in the air."

Lockport Community Market adds new vendors
LOCKPORT – The Lockport Community Market, which runs on Canal Street from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday through Sept. 27, will offer three new vendors this week, manager Heather B. Peck said.
They are Fashion to a T, offering T-shirt necklaces, earrings and original oil paintings; Grandma Katie, with quilts and little girl dresses; and Winslow's Choice, selling apricot, blueberry, tart cherry and peach jams and oatmeal raisin cranberry cookies.
Every week, the market features live entertainment, activities and demonstrations, and vendors offering fresh produce, meat, baked goods, local wine, jewelry and gifts.
Vendors are still being accepted each week as space allows. Those interested should call Peck at 434-0212.
There is a free yoga class every week from 7 to 8 a.m., before the market opens, at the Canal Street gazebo. From 9 to 10 a.m., local musician Bob Farmer will play folk music in the gazebo, and from 12:30 to 1;30 p.m., Luke W. Hall & the Lower Mountain Band will take the gazebo stage.
