SPORTS >> Coach gets just what he wants out of scrimmage
Leader sportswriter
Jacksonville stuck to coach Mark Whatleys script in more ways than one Saturday.
Not only did the Red Devils accomplish the coachs checklist of plays during the Red and White scrimmage at Jan Crow Stadium but, with a handful of key players injured, they also avoided further harm.
If we all got out of that healthy, I got my goals met tonight, Whatley said. Those things, they scare you. Its like I try to tell them If you play hard, you wont get hurt. We played hard tonight.
Whatley was forced to hold out defensive tackle Reggie Crudup and linebacker Don Crutchfield. Both have knee injuries and Jacksonville is awaiting the results of the players MRIs.
The Red Devils were also without senior wide receiver/defensive back Devin Featherston, who could miss anywhere from two to eight weeks because of a high ankle sprain.
We need to get everybody healthy and get back going in the right direction, Whatley said.
Featherstons absence Saturday may have been the most conspicuous, because he might be the only player on Whatleys extensive roster who could see action on both sides of the ball.
He allows us to stretch the field a little bit more than we could tonight, Whatley said.
Even with the injuries, Whatley had enough players to pit his offensive starters against his defensive first team and to throw his second-string offense against his backup defense.
Whatley hopes the specialization pays dividends when the Red Devils open 6A-East Conference play at Mountain Home on Sept. 25.
Thats the first time since Ive been here weve been able to do that, said Whatley, entering his fifth season. Thats a plus.
Thats one of those things you fight back and forth with. Hopefully its going to pay off by conference time where were going one way and we learn from our mistakes and get better.
On Saturday, the Red Devils played four segments in which the defense appeared for the most part to have the upper hand while the offense chipped in the occasional big play.
We didnt even keep chains. We scripted everything, Whatley said. There was no down and distance. We stayed pretty basic. Very basic.
The first segment ended when sophomore defensive back DVone McClure hit junior Jon Johnson and forced a fumble after a completion of more than 20 yards from junior quarterback Logan Perry. Senior linebacker Joey Gates had the fumble recovery.
The backups posted the first score when, in the second segment, sophomore quarterback Tirrell Brown hit McClure, who out- jumped a defender for the catch that he turned into a touchdown play of more than 40 yards.
The starters were on the field for the final two segments. Perry connected with Johnson for a 40-yard gain on a swing pass to end the third segment and account for the offenses last big play of the night.
Gates opened the fourth segment by sacking Perry, then Kenny Cummings had an over-the-shoulder interception of Perrys long attempt to Price Eubanks on the next play.
The only other offensive big play was the 20-yard completion from Brown to McClure that opened the second segment.
No other play gained more than 10 yards and the scrimmage ended with a three-yard carry by senior running back Doug Sprouse out of the wildcat formation.
The biggest thing they did is they tackled a lot better than they have leading up to tonight, Whatley said of his defense. We felt like they could. Another good sign is you see that many people running to the football. They had a lot of hats around the football and thats a good thing because we feel like we have a chance to be pretty good on that side.
The offense gave up its one sack and Perry was hurried on a blitz in the first segment, but otherwise, Whatley said, the offensive highlight was the protection.
I thought our offensive line held up pretty good, Whatley said. They did a pretty good job. Weve got to space the field better.
All in all, Whatley said, the scrimmage went just as it was drawn up.
It kind of turned out kind of like we expected it to, he said.

Promoting 'Nymphomaniac' at the International Film Festival Berlinale, LaBeouf had only one sentence to tell reporters and a paper bag to explain his situation.
Shia LaBeouf continued to display his antics at the press conference of Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac" on Sunday, February 9. The actor, who was hit hard with plagiarism scandal in December, inexplicably stormed out of the press conference and wore a paper bag over his head on the red carpet of International Film Festival Berlinale.
LaBeouf spent only 10 minutes at the press conference after answering one question using someone else's quote. The first question asked him about doing a movie with so many sex scenes. LaBeouf, who looked thinner and was missing a lower tooth, answered slowly and deliberately, "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much." The quote LaBeouf used came from French soccer legend Eric Cantona who also said the same sentence at a press conference for "Looking for Eric".
LaBeouf made his exit and stunned the rest of the panelists including Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Stellan Skarsgard, Stacy Martin and producer Louise Vesth. The audience gave LaBeouf a light applause as he walked away. Slater then attempted to lighten the situation with a joke. "Obviously, the script is packed with a lot of sardines ...one sardine after another," he said.
The actor made another statement on the red carpet walk of "Nymphomaniac" an hour later by wearing a paper bag which read, "I am not famous anymore." He has been using the quote on his Twitter since announcing his retirement from the movie industry last month because his creative work has been attacked. LaBeouf would later denounce his retirement and antics by calling them "performance art."

movie trailer (quicktime)
NOTE: This is the 35th Spoiler sent in by Brentage5000.
The movie opens with a couple of kids playing catch with a baseball when their mom calls them in. They go inside for lunch and while they're eating, an exterminator, former Seattle Mariners player Morris Buttermaker (Billy Bob Thornton), comes out of the basement. He says that they've got a great extermination and that he has to go, since it's three. He leaves, heads over to a little league ball park, cracks a beer, and watches them play. He is soon approached by Liz Whitewood (Marcia Gay Harden) and her son Toby (Ridge Canipe). Liz thanks him for agreeing to coach the kids baseball team. He agrees, and she notices the beer in his hand, but he reassures that it's non-alcoholic. She smiles and tells Toby to never drink beer, and Buttermaker tells him not to do crack either, or else one day he could wake uup in jail to find some big black man branding his name onto your ass. One awkward silence later, Liz is leaving and Toby and Buttermaker are headed onto the field. When they get there, a guy named Roy Bullock (Greg Kinnear) introduces himself to Buttermaker, saying that he's the coach for the current champion team, the Yankees (shut up, you Boston fans), and it's pretty clear that this guy is a big smarmy asshole.
A little while later, we see Buttermaker on the field at last and meeting his team. In addition to Toby, there's short and fierce Tanner Boyle (Timmy Deters), fat kid Mike Engelberg (Brandon Craggs), Mexican twins Miguel and Jose Agilar (Carlos and Emmanuel Estrada), Armenian immigrant Garo Daragebrigadian (Jeffrey Tedmori), wheelchair-bound Matt Hooper (Troy Gentile), nerdish Prem Lahiri (Aman Johal), Mark McGuire fan and token black kid Ahmad Abdul Rahim (K.C. Harris), and off-in-his-own-world-a-lot kid Timothy Lupus (Tyler Patrick Jones). We quickly see that these guys have hair-trigger tempers, but Buttermaker gets them calmed down quickly enough. That night, he's at a bar when someone mentions to him that he needs to get uniforms for the kids. He finds Liz and complains about this being too much, but she just blows him off and tells him to get a sponsor for the team. He therefore spends the whole of the next day traveling to all his favorite gun-stores, bars, liquor stores, and strip joints looking for sponsorship.
The next day, we see Buttermaker driving his ten misfits around town. He tells them about being in the big leagues and how great it was, even though he was only up for two-thirds of an inning. Later, we see Prem underneath a house that Buttermaker has all the kids exterminating with him. Once they're done, he gives them a surprise -- uniforms which all have the name "Bears" on them, and on the back is their sponsor -- one of the aforementioned strip joints, a fact which is not exactly pleasing to Liz when she finds out. Eventually, opening day comes, but the festivities are interrupted by a leather clad, motorcycle driving bad boy that Roy (who's MCing everything) drives off the field. Nevertheless, the team goes up against the Yankees in the opening game and gets duly slaughtered, with Buttermaker finally calling it once the score is something like 24-0 in the first inning. The team's depressed and angry, and they go home calling Buttermaker names. In fact, we see that Garo is so depressed he's thinking of quitting the team, since he only wanted to play to be like American kids and his dad won't like that he lost. Buttermaker, however, says to just tell his dad that they did win.
Some time later, we see Buttermaker wandering through a store not unlike Hot Topic (think grungy teenager stuff). He sees this one blonde girl working there and starts talking to her, and we find out that it's his daughter from his ex-wife, Amanda (Sammi Kraft). He tells her about the team and asks her to be on it, but she basically tells him to fuck off. He keeps trying, though, and eventually manages to get her to come (he has to help her buy a new car once she turns sixteen...in four years). Buttermaker introduces her to the team. Although her arrival is initially met with skepticism from the boys, she soon shows them up (at one point, while watching her pitch, Garo utters "I think I just hit puberty."). Buttermaker also gets the team to start practicing a little harder, and it pays off -- the next game, they...well, they still don't score, but the other team only gets one point, which makes Tanner remark, "Great! We've gone from suck to stink!"...although Buttermaker merely says that he's right.
Around this time, the team is having a practice with Buttermaker hitting balls to the outfield. He hits one past Lupus (not hard, since he's missed pretty much every ball that comes his way) and over the fence. The kid on the motorcycle, who happened to be hanging out there, picks it up and gets it. He throws it back to Buttermaker, and it's pretty much a dream pitch. The kids tell him that that's Kelly Leak, and they start expounding a bunch of legends about him, most of which make Roy even more eager to have him on the team.
That night, Buttermaker and Amanda go to some skateboard arena to try to persuade Kelly (Jeff Davies) to join. She bets him that if she can pull off some really complicated trick, he has to join the team, but if not, she goes on a date with him (his idea). She doesn't pull it off, but she appears strangely pleased anyway when she goes back out to Buttermaker.
A few days later, the kids have their third game, and they manage to tie it, something Buttermaker compares to kissing a really hot stepsister. Meanwhile, we see Roy and Kelly arguing over Kelly's presence there. After, we see Lupus walking along when two of Roy's players grab him and stuff him in a Port-A-Poddy and start rocking it back and forth. Tanner sees this and starts pounding on the much bigger players, but since he's a shrimp they just pick him up and throw him into a mud puddle on the other side of the fence. They leave and Lupus comes out and thanks Tanner for sticking up for him, though Tanner just blows him off.
The next day, Buttermaker is handing out cups to the kids at practice. Amanda says she doesn't need one when we hear Kelly say, "I'll take it." Next thing you know, we're watching the kids have their virst victory dinner at Hooters. While there, we see Prem asking Tanner to teach him to talk trash, and Tanner surprisingly agreeing. This launches us into a montage of the kids slowly getting better and better, Amanda and Kelly going out on dates, and Buttermaker slowly gaining credibility, especially with Liz, who one night goes out to dinner with him. She gives him a basket of salad dressing, which he pretends to appreciate, and starts coming onto him. Later, we see him sneaking out of her bedroom when suddenly Toby sees him. He asks what Buttermaker is doing there, and Buttermaker makes up some line about making sure his mitt was oiled to provide better grip when he catches the ball.
The next day, we see Amanda trying on a pretty nice dress at that store she works at when Tanner suddenly starts yelling at her from behind. He's soon joined by the other boys, including Kelly, who definitely has no complaints about how Amanda looks. They tell her to come have lunch with them before practice and leave...except for kelly, who keeps staring at her. The next day, we see the Bears winning the semifinal thanks in part to Kelly catching any ball that even came close to him...and thus depriving Lupus of any nearby balls. Regardless, they win, which means that they'll be going up against the Yankees again in the next game. After the game, we see Buttermaker and Amanda in the dugout with Amanda's arm in an ice-filled cooler. She tries to get Buttermaker to open up and be more Dad-like, even bringing up an old memory of him, her, and her mom at Crystal Cove beach, but he just says that he doesn't remember that and she shouldn't be trying to make him into a good father. Confused and hurt, she leaves him alone with his beer.
Finally, the last game of the season rolls around. While the Yankees are on base, they trash talk the basemen, especially Ahmad. For revenge, Ahmad, who is first up, hits a ball right at one of the yankees and starts beating him up, which makes a fight erupt between both teams...and eventually their coaches, once Roy starts trash-talking Buttermaker. The game goes on, and Amanda's arm starts bothering her, but Buttermaker just tells her to shake it off. As if that pain weren't enough, Buttermaker also tells Garo that when he's up at bat, get hit by the ball and take a walk -- something made more painful by the fact that Garo's dad has finally come to see his son play. The Yankees are winning again, even though the Bears have scored some runs, and eventually Buttermaker comes to his senses and calls everyone in. He apologizes for being a dick, changes the batting order, pulls Amanda from the mound and replaces her with Toby, and sends a shocked Hooper into right field by Lupus. He tells the umpire, who shrugs and accepts the change in batting order, and heads back to the dugout where he is greeted by liz, who asks him what the hell he's doing and how he expects to win, since after all, that's what Toby wants. He tells her that she has no idea what Toby wants, since she's too busy to pay attention to him, and while he's not telling her how to raise her son, somebody sure should.
With the new lineup, play resumes at the top of the sixth. As the players move to their positions, Buttermaker laughs and points out Hooper rolling to his position to Amanda, and they laugh together at it. Toby strikes out one player, but the second guy gets a hit, although he's tagged out too. Finally, the last Yankee player up hits a fly ball to right field that heads right for Lupus. It looks like it'll be another miss, but the ball gets caught...by Hooper! As the Yankees go off the field, Hooper's teammates surround him and cheer him, escorting him off the field. The Bears get up, and they manage to get one run behind the Yankees, but at the last minute, right before they can score a winning run, they get the last out and end up losing to the Yankees. At the presentation ceremony of the trophies, Roy trots out some bull about respecting the Bears now and how there are no winners or losers (I don't believe him for a second), but the Bears -- holders of one eighteen-inch tall second-place trophy instead of multiple two feet-tall first place trophies for the players and a three-point-five foot tall one for the coach -- get the last laugh when Prem says, "Hey Yankees -- you can take those first-place trophies and shove them right up your asses!" Tanner grins in approval and the Bears start celebrating, with Amanda finally kissing Kelly (which surprises him a little, but he still likes it); Liz telling Toby that this is what's called a 'moral victory'; and Buttermaker telling Amanda that it was Redondo Beach, not Crystal Cove. She's thrilled that he did remember (even if she remembered wrongly) and he promises to take her to Crystal Cove real soon....as soon as the party is over, which from the look of things, won't be for a good, looong while.

Janine Haines dies aged 59
Page Tools
Janine Haines
Photo: Barry Chapman
Janine Haines, the first Australian Democrats senator and first woman to lead an Australian political party, has died aged 59.
She had been suffering from a long-term neurological condition.
Ms Haines became the first Democrats senator to sit in federal parliament in December 1977 when she was chosen by the South Australian parliament to fill a casual vacancy caused by the resignation of Liberal Movement Senator Steele Hall.
She beat the founder of the Democrats, Don Chipp, into the Senate by 12 months.
In 1986, Ms Haines became the first woman to lead an Australian political party when she took over the Democrats leadership from the retiring Senator Chipp.
She was a highly popular leader, whose personal ratings generally outstripped the polling for her party.
In 1990, Senator Haines sacrificed her seat and her job in an unsuccessful attempt to win the South Australian seat of Kingston in the House of Representatives.
The move was prompted by the need to run a high-profile campaign to ensure the party could retain the balance of power in the Senate.
Ms Haines believed the bid for the lower house was necessary to try to head off a collapse in the party's vote nationally.
She won a creditable 26.4 per cent of the vote but failed to win enough preferences to take the seat.
Yet the campaign helped the Democrats win record support of more than 1.25 million votes and 12.6 per cent of the vote.
The party easily held the important balance of power in the Senate by winning second seats in South Australia, NSW and Victoria.
By comparison, the Democrats managed just 144,832 first preference votes in last month's federal election, or 1.24 per cent of the vote.
After the 1990 election, Janet Powell succeeded Ms Haines as party leader while former Democrats leader and now independent senator Meg Lees filled the vacancy caused by her resignation.
It was Senator Lees who announced Ms Haines' death tonight, describing her as a truly great Australian, a friend and an inspiration.
In 2001, Ms Haines received an AM in the Queen's Birthday honours for her contribution to politics and the community.
"I'm thrilled and proud,'' she said on receiving the award.
Since leaving politics, Ms Haines has served on a range of boards and was president of the Australian Privacy Charter Council for three years.
She was also Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Adelaide University.
Ms Haines was survived by her husband of 37 years, Ian, daughters Melanie and Bronwyn and three grandchildren.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Kentucky Heritage Council
Kitty Dougoud named new Kentucky Main Street Program Statewide Coordinator; previously executive director of Historic Georgetown Inc.
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Kitty Watson Dougoud of Georgetown has been named the new Statewide Coordinator for the Kentucky Main Street Program (KYMS), administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office. She will begin in this role Monday, Feb. 18.
Dougoud has served as executive director of Historic Georgetown Inc. since 2007, reporting to a 22-member board responsible for all operational duties of the Georgetown Main Street Program. She has worked to maintain the community's status as nationally accredited by the National Trust Main Street Center and a designated Kentucky Main Street Program; instituted community events including summertime concerts and art walks; and created The Georgetown Exchange, a blog and community calendar highlighting local history, preservation resources and community events. She has also served as a regional captain for the statewide program.
Prior to this, she was an adjunct professor of art education at Georgetown College and a teacher for 27 years with Scott County schools. She replaces Becky Gorman, now a historic preservation specialist with Louisville Metro Planning and Design Services.
KYMS is the oldest statewide downtown revitalization organization in the nation, which encourages downtown revitalization, public-private partnerships and economic development within the context of historic preservation and utilizing cultural assets. Since 1979, the program can document more than $3.6 billion in public-private investment throughout Kentucky. In 2011 alone, participating communities reported more than $177 million invested in downtowns, representing 481 net jobs in Main Street districts, 311 new businesses created, and 314 downtown buildings rehabilitated.
"This is a key position for the agency at a critical time in the statewide program," said Lindy Casebier, Kentucky Heritage Council acting executive director. "In these tight economic times, communities are forced to cut budgets, so we have to reinforce with local, state and federal policymakers that preserving and reusing downtown buildings can have a huge economic impact by drawing people and new businesses to the central business district, generating a climate of investment that benefits surrounding communities."
Community main street programs require local commitment and financial support to qualify for designation in the statewide network. A local manager administers activities through a volunteer board, while the Heritage Council provides technical and design assistance, program resources and training. KYMS currently serves 71 communities.
For more information, contact Scot Walters, Heritage Council site development manager, 502-564-7005, ext. 133 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Halloween is the second highest grossing commercial holiday after Christmas but also one of the most fun.
Halloween was brought to North America by outsiders from Europe who would celebrate the harvest around a bonfire, share ghost stories, sing, dance and tell fortunes.
The word "witch" comes from the Old English wicce, meaning "wise woman." Witches held one of their two main meetings on Halloween night
Hocus Pocus is one of the most popular Halloween movies for kids.

Prescott blasts Bali 'press prattle'
Globetrotting John Prescott angrily insisted that it was never his intention to attend a mini-summit in the paradise island of Bali - a trip which has been heavily criticised for its luxuriousness and cost.
The deputy prime minister reacted with anger when his Tory shadow questioned why he had decided not to make the journey to the plush Nusa Dua resort later this month.
Mr Prescott said as he was no longer Environment Secretary it was not his place to attend the meeting, which is a warm up for this summer's Earth Summit in Johannesburg.
He claimed shadow cabinet minister Tim Collins was relying heavily on a story in the "much discredited" British media.
Mr Prescott has faced a barrage of criticism over reports that he was to lead a delegation of about 30 civil servants to Bali that could cost the taxpayer £250,000.
Personal questions
The furious Commons exchanges were sparked when Mr Collins referred to recent reports that the deputy prime minister was suffering from diabetes.
He said he commiserated with Mr Prescott over the condition, but said that as his Cabinet Office had insisted his health had nothing to do with him not attending the summit, could he explain why he had decided not to go.
Mr Collins added: "Is it because you are a little bit embarrassed about reports of the level of luxury that would be enjoyed by those who are attending?"
Mr Prescott retorted: "You are developing a reputation for asking personal questions that have no relevance whatsoever to the point before us.
"You rely on a British press that is much discredited about the way it handles stories."
The deputy prime minister claimed a European Union report had claimed that the British press was trusted by 20% of Britons, which was more than double that of the rest of the EU.
"It is an indication how press prattle tends to dominate an awful lot of matters of substance in this place and outside."
South African influence
Mr Prescott said that since the former Tory administration had led the first delegation to the World Summit in Rio in 1992, negotiations were carried out by the environment secretary.
"I ended my responsibilities for that when the General Election came and I moved from the Department of Environment," he said.
"That is right why it is now led by the present secretary of state for the environment."
He added: "It never ever was my intention to be part of that delegation or indeed to be attending Bali-Hi or Bali-Low at any occasion whatsoever."
Earlier this week the Cabinet Office said Mr Prescott had decided his services were not required at the summit, following talks with South African President Thabo Mbeki.
Environment Secretary Margaret Beckett will now take the lead role with officials from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
A spokesman for the Cabinet Office told BBC News Online: "Mr Prescott has decided not to go to the part of the conference in Bali which was taking place at the end of this month."
Mr Prescott has previously come under attack for snorkelling in the Maldives in 1999 during a trip to highlight the destruction of coral reefs in the Indian Ocean.

Talking To Customer Service Executives For Contact Numbers
We have noticed that many companies these days do not have a proper facility of customer care servicing. If you are purchasing a product or service online many a time you will notice that you do not know the exact contact number on which you can call in times of need. Most of the companies will offer you their customer related services through the internet. They will have an online site in which you can leave a message or a mail id on which you can leave a mail. But is this actually very helpful?
Sadly the most effective mode of communication is still talking to a person directly on call. You can be sure that you will end up spending a lot of time having to explain something to a person on text but when it comes to calling, you can directly convey your messages very easily. This is one of the best thing about calling. But sadly many a time we do not have the correct information regarding the number on which we can call in order to contact representatives of the company.
Get The Information Through Call
These days' services like contact directories have gained a lot of prominence as more and more people are requiring the services of professionals to get private numbers through which they can contact companies. Since everything is on the internet these days, many companies are avoiding giving their numbers on public portals. So if you need the numbers of such private companies you can easily call up these people in order to get the numbers that you are looking for. They will be able to help you out with just a call.
Talk To Professionals
The companies often keep away from having a proper customer service number mainly because it adds to the cost of running a company. Having a good calling service also means that they need to have a separate department all together which many companies avoid. So many a time you will see that you will not be getting access to the numbers that you are looking for. So it is a very good idea to call up these professionals who will be able to help you get the numbers that you are looking for in order to help you.
Friendly And Efficient Personnel
The personnel's who you will be talking to are contact professionals who have been trained to do the work. They are extremely efficient and will be able to help you within minutes. You can be assured that you will get the information you need from them by just giving them a call and telling them about the company or the service that you are looking for. This is definitely a big boon for anyone who is looking for some new product or service or anyone who is looking for help with their existing services. These people are extremely friendly as well and will provide you with any kind of help or company related information that you need.
3 Effective Ways To Improving Your Customer Service Unit!
Customer care is a very important aspect of every business. It is a must that you make sure that this unit works well in your business enterprise. With good service, not only will your business enjoy increased sales and repeat sales, but it will come up with a number of additional benefits. The business will grow as a brand; satisfied customers will promote the business with their word-of-mouth and also with increased sales, employees and shareholders will be happy.
But, many times, your business would go through losses and failures and despite trying hard to come up with new business strategies, you will discover that the business is not reaching the due target that it has planned. The reason behind this might be an unworthy customer service. Hence, it is a must that you improve your unit in every possible way.
Train Your Executives:
The CRM software systems may not be enough for tackling different kinds of customer issues. For that, you must have your executives, who will attend to the queries, problems and troubles of your customers in person. There can be different kinds of customers – irate, chatty, inquisitive or even angry. Your executives must be trained to handle them well. The qualities that they must have are –
- Patience
- Clear communication
- Empathy
- Knowledgeable
- Adaptability
Along with these qualities, the executive must have a clear understanding of one basic concept – the customers are always right! Whether they blame you, whether they do not accept their faults, your executives can never be tough with them. You cannot afford to lose any of your customers under any circumstance.
24×7 Availability:
A customer service centre that is available round the clock is always a trusted one. It will take your business one step ahead. When the customers don't find your rivals available, your chance of increasing business is very high. Make sure that the service is available in every possible way – over the phone, via email, through chat window as well as through social media platforms.
Get Feedbacks:
It is very important that you understand that customer care is a great way to identify the problems that your business has and the troubles that your customers face. Hence, whether your customers are happy after purchase, if your service is good, which of your employees have worked better and who hasn't, must be known to you. This is possible only if your customers give you feedbacks. Give them the opportunity to get in touch with you and express their positive as well as negative experiences, so that you can improve yourself.
If these three basics are taken care of, it is very likely that your business will grow gradually, and it will create a great relationship with your customers. For assured repeat business, great customer care is a must. If you can afford, come up with strategies and rewards so that your existing customers are benefited, stay happy and come back to you time and again. Remember, if the customers don't come to you, you have to go to them.
Top 5 Advantages Of Having A Good Customer Service Unit For Your Business!
When you run a business, there are broadly two main factors that you need to take into consideration. First is to draw more traffic of potential customers towards your business entity and second is to make sure that those customers be loyal and keep coming back. The first requires a number of strategies like advertisements, marketing, online SEO, social media presence, branding, etc. But, the second needs one basic thing, and that is to have a great customer service.
Businesses often underestimate and ignore the importance of a quality customer care. But in reality, this is one of the most important sectors of every business. When taken care of properly, this can be highly beneficial for the business infrastructure. If you do not have a clear idea of how this can be beneficial for your business, here are a few of the many benefits that you must know.
Repeat Business:
Repeat customer and repeat business are an accident. One has to make sure that the customers are satisfied with your service. And this is possible only by creating a personal relationship with your customers. You can send a 'thank-you' note or mail to your customers or offer special facilities when they come to you with a problem. If the customers are appreciated and if they are happy with what you are offering and compensating in thecase of a problem, they will come back to you.
Word-Of-Mouth Marketing:
Your customers can be your biggest advertisers if you know how to do it. Offering great customer services will make them happy and satisfied, and once they are happy, it is very likely that they will share their experience with others. Thus, the trust factor, reputation, and branding of your business will also increase.
Reduced Business Failures:
There is no business in the world that doesn't have failure or problems in their businesses. But, with good customer services, you will be able to identify those issues and solve them. Thus, they will not recur or at least you will know the areas in which you need to be careful about.
Happy Employees:
With happy customers, the employees also get to work in a happy environment. The employees are motivated, and they become more efficient to work better. With increase business, the employees get better bonus and incentives and also there is no need to reduce the number of employees working with you.
Satisfied Shareholders:
If your customers are happy, your sales will increase and as your sales increase, your shareholders will also be happy and satisfied. There will be more shareholders and therefore, more investment and revenue available for your business expansion.
Now that you have understood the importance of a good customer service unit for your business, it is a must that you take out time in improving it. Train your customer care executives properly and make sure that they have the skill to solve every single problem of your customers, as well as come up with ideas that would make the business even better.

|Walter Pettus Inducted into the Central Virginia ASA Hall of Fame
|Walter Pettus Coaching Bio, as presented in the ceremony on November 17, 2012
Walter's coaching career started as a player/manager of the Mt. Hermon Church Fastpitch team in the Winterpock Church League in Chesterfield
County, VA in 1965. He was the manager of the team for 11 years.
In 1975 he started managing a Men's Fastpitch Travel Softball as the manager of Tilghman's Electric and managed men's Fastpitch travel teams from 1975 through 1985 which included Old Stage Motor Lodge, ChemTreat and Virginia Capitals.
In the Fall of 1986, Walter started coaching Junior Olympic Girls 18U Fastpitch teams. He coached the Sports Plus 18U team with Milton Simmons from 1986 through the summer of 1991 and in 1990, simultaneously coached the Sports Plus Women's Fastpitch Team, also with Milton Simmons.
In the fall of 1991, he founded the Richmond Diamonds Girls Fastpitch Softball Association. He has been and still is the manager of the Richmond Diamonds 18U Girls Fastpitch Team. Currently the Association has four teams representing 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U age groups.
Walter coached at Mills Godwin High School in Henrico County, VA for 17 years compiling a won-lost record of 305 wins and 62 losses. He retired as the head softball coach from Mills Godwin High School in 2010 and currently is an assistant softball coach at Patrick Henry High School in Hanover County, VA.
Mr. Pettus had the opportunity to coach in one Men's Fastpitch and one Women's Fastpitch National Tournaments. In his 26 years of coaching Girls 18U Fastpitch teams, he has coached 17 teams in the Girls 18U national championships, one of which was with Sports Plus and the other 16 as head coach of the Richmond Diamonds. Walter has coached two 18U Girls' teams in the Hall of Fame Tournament in the Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, OK.
147 of his former Junior Olympic 18U Girls Fastpitch players have received partial or full softball scholarships to Division I, II, or III universities or colleges. 11 of his former 18U Fastpitch players have coached or are currently coaching college or high school softball.
He has had the pleasure, in his 47 years of Fastpitch softball, to have coached some of the current Hall of Fame members and now finds himself coaching against some of them at the travel ball and high school level, and even had some of them umpire some of those games.
Walter is currently coaching two daughters of Hall of Famer, J. W. Mitchell, and his wife, Charlene and hope that he can coach long enough to coach their younger daughter. Last month he coached Erin Acors, the daughter of Stephanie Hobson Acors, who played for him from 1987-1990.

We analyze the computational and communication complexities of our construction, and show that it is much more efficient than the existing protocols in the literature.
Finally, we show that our basic protocol is efficiently transformed into a stronger protocol secure in the presence of malicious adversaries, together with performance and security analysis.
cryptographic primitive in parallel to the execution of the operations. The result of the division are two primitives that have smaller input sizes and thus require lower attack complexities.
However, the division is not completely independent and the sub-primitives depend (output of one is the input for the other) mutually on a certain number of bits. When the number of such bits is relatively small, we show a technique based on three classical meet-in-the-middle attacks that can recover the secret key of the cipher faster than an exhaustive search. We apply our findings to the lightweight block cipher KLEIN and show attacks on 10/11/13 rounds of KLEIN-64/-80/-96.
Our approach requires only one or two pairs of known plaintexts and always recovers the secret key.
anonymity - strongest-possible anonymity requirements and
adversaries. We begin with rigorous definition of anonymity
against wide range of computationally-bounded attackers,
including eavesdroppers, malicious peers, malicious destina-tions, and their combinations. Following the work of Hevia and Micciancio [15], our definition is generic, and captures dierent notions of anonymity (e.g., unobservability and sender anonymity).
We then study the feasibility of ultimate anonymity. We
show there is a protocol satisfying this requirement, but with
absurd (although polynomial) inefficiency and overhead. We
show that such inefficiency and overhead is unavoidable for
`ultimate anonymity\'. We then present a slightly-relaxed
requirement and present feasible protocols for it.
bilinear pairing on the Jacobian variety of a hyperelliptic curve.
We prove that, for supersingular elliptic curves with embedding degree
two, square of the Ate pairing is nothing but the Weil pairing.
Using the formula, we develop an X-coordinate only pairing inversion method.
However, the algorithm is still infeasible for cryptographic size problems.
gossipers, we want to schedule a cyclic calendar
of meetings between all of them, such that: (1) each gossiper communicates
(gossips) only once a day, with one other gossiper, (2) in every (n 1) consecutive
days, each gossiper meets all other gossipers, and (3) every gossip, initiated by
any gossiper, will reach all gossipers within k = log(n) days.
In this paper we study the above stated meet-all gossipers problem, by den-ing and constructing the Gossip Latin Square (GLS), a combinatorial structure
which solves the problem.
unobservable, anonymous reporting to an untrusted destination,
with low latency and overhead. DURP provably ensures strong
anonymity properties, as required for some applications (and not

Provable unobservability against global eavesdropper and
malicious participants.
Provable source anonymity against a malicious destination.
Probable-innocence against a malicious destination which is

DURP design is a modular combination of two modules: a
queuing module, ensuring fixed rates for certain events, together
with an anonymization module, which can use either Onion-Routing (DURP^OR) or Crowds (DURP^Crowds). We present anal-ysis, backed by simulation results, of the network properties and
performance of DURP, and show it has reasonable overhead. We

The protocol supports expiration times for payment orders, and realistic network queuing delay.We achieve this using model and techniques from the Quality of Service area to guarantee delays and avoid payment order expiration.

The SEC's Bulldogs (6-6) have one more working day to practice for the reigning Conference USA champions Owls (10-3), who are also the home team here in Memphis. Tuesday's kickoff is 3:00ct for ESPN telecast.
And much as his defense is ready to get back on the field, the coordinator himself would prefer any extra hours available to properly prepare, as Collins explains.
What makes Rice a great opponent for this game? "They are a solid offense. A lot of older guys, they've got a big, physical offensive line. They're 11th in the nation in rushing, they've got four or five running backs that are interchangeable, that come in and do a lot of things. The one running back #35 (Luke Turner) sometimes plays quarterback in their wildcat package, and he was the MVP of the Conference USA championship game. They've got big, physical receivers, and athletic tight ends."
"The neat thing they do is they're very interchangeable with what they do, move guys around, give you different formations. So we just have to know where everybody is. #15 (Jordan Taylor) is their big receiving threat, a big talented kid they like to get the football to. But they spread the ball around and the running backs are really good as well. The quarterback makes good decisions, he scrambles really well and has an accurate arm. And he always tries to get them in the right play. The thing that you watch about their offense is they really don't run bad plays. They're always trying to get you to get the look that they want and then run right call."
"So it's going to be a big challenge for us. I think our guys are excited, we've had two weeks to get ready for this offense. And to be honest we probably needed it because they're so multiple in what they do."
Are they more physical and grind-it-out than normally seen in CUSA? "Yeah. And they're older, they know what they're doing in the system, they're committed to playing physical football. Their receivers do a great job blocking and really get after it on the perimeter. So they're just solid all the way through and they have toms explosiveness too within wanting to run the football. But they're explosive in what they do as well."
Charles Ross had over 100 rushing yards against Texas A&M? "He's a bigger kid; 6-1, 220, runs behind his pads really well. A physical kid, he doesn't take negative yardage plays. But all the guys they have that carry the ball for them are good quality backs. It's going to be a big challenge for us."
What have you seen of the development of Benardrick McKinney at middle linebacker? "Last year he had such a big splash onto the scene. He walks onto the field and Benardrick is 6-5, 250 and he's a ball of energy, runs his mouth constantly! The kids tell stories about what he says during the games, I hear it every day at practice. People think I'm crazy but Benardrick probably takes it to a whole 'nother level!"
"But he had such a big year last year, had over 100 tackles, and he had to play probably 90 percent of the snaps in every game. I think it's a credit too to Richie Brown, he's been able to spell him a lot and had some quality downs. Benardrick probably doesn't have the numbers that he had last year, but he's every bit as impactful as a player. The neat thing he does, he takes pride in making other people around him better. That's hard to come by in a kid who is just a redshirt sophomore. But the guys feed off his energy and his enthusiasm, and he's really intelligent, he gets everybody lined-up. So I can't say enough good things about him as a player and as a person."
How did the team live up to your expectations this first year as coordinator? "Every day they come out and you see us on the sidelines, during games before we get onto the field…you know, psycho defense or creating mayhem or turning up or juice. You just see the guys, they've taken it on themselves, they've kind of let their personalities come out and you saw it in the Alabama game, you saw it in the Arkansas game, you saw it in the Ole Miss game. Just the energy and the passion and the juice that they played with."
"And you know they're like that every day. Bowl practice, we've had 15 days to get ready for an opponent, and every day you come out it's fun to be around these guys. They have so much energy, they like each other, they like playing football. It makes it a joy to come to work every day to get to be around these guys. And they've embraced the things we've sold them on and they've taken it even higher than probably the expectations would have been."
Was there a point in the season you knew you didn't have to tell them what to do against tempo offenses, just go do it? "Well, the Texas A&M game. The year before I think Texas A&M rushed for 300, 200 something yards on us. But when we played them this year I'd say probably 20% of the snaps it was on Benardrick and some of the other guys just to get us in the right call. Because they were going so fast the guys were making the checks and they knew exactly what to do. I think we limited them to 90-something rushing, which was a good day for us in that regard. Those guys understand the system, there's a lot of accountability, a lot of trust amongst the defense. They believe in each other. Benardrick speaks or Deontae Skinner speaks or Kendrick Market or Taveze Calhoun or Denico Autry; they listen. The pleasure for me is the guys that I mentioned, I could probably name four or five or six others that have that kind of impact and carry themselves in a way we can just line up and play."
Talk about the job P.J. Jones has done up front after hurting his foot in preseason? "Yeah, he's a tough kid. I think when he's healthy he's one of the best three-techniques in the SEC. And that's saying a lot with quality of d-linemen that we have in this league. But he hasn't been healthy since the second day of practice! You look at kids like him and Nickoe Whitley. Kaleb Eulls has been banged up all year. And the things those guys have gone through—and it goes back to Justin Gremillion and our training staff, they probably don't get enough credit for every week getting those guys ready to play."
"P.J. is such a great kid, such a great motor. He wants to be out there because he wants to be out there because he loves his teammates, wants to be out there battling with those guys. So I can't say enough positives about him. And when he's healthy, he's something. With Kaleb Eulls same thing, when he's healthy there's not a finer duo of interior linemen in the league."
How has your first year as defensive coordinator been? "I've loved it. I think you guys have been around me enough, I just love coming to work every day, love being around these guys. Regardless of the position that I'm in or getting to call the plays or not, I still take as much pride in whatever role I'm given. And these guys are just a pleasure to work with. The Deontae Skinners, Nickoe and Denico; the seniors, this will be my last time getting to be involved in the game with those guys. But it's been honor to be a part of this defense."
How are you replacing Whitley at free safety? "There's a couple of guys we've been repping at that spot. But you know, the seventh play of the season we had Jay Hughes go down, the starting strong safety and on the seventh play of the season he's done for the year. Kedrick Market, or as we affectionately call him 'Poke Dog'—came in and we haven't missed a beat. Not to take anything away from Jay, a great player. But just he stepped up for us and played well for us all season, actually won a couple of games for us."
"Nickoe is down, the next guy is going to step up for us whoever that may be. The guys that are in the defense going out there every day know what we might miss from a Nickoe Whitley, his experience being a four-year starter in the SEC. They'll all rally around whoever is in there at whatever given time."
Taveze Calhoun had a strong end to the season, how does that impact the post-season? "You can't say enough about Taveze Calhoun. Going into the season, you know we lost John Banks, we lose Darius Slay, reall that's all anybody wanted to talk about, how do you replace those guys. And the job Jamerson Love did, the job Taveze did, Will Redmond, Justin Cox, I could go on and on about the guys that have stepped up."
But the three games at the end of the year Taveze had, are as fine as anybody in this league. I mean h e's a big, physical kid, highly intelligent, a high character kid. He has great length kind of like John Banks did. But he studies the opponent as well as anybody. He was best friends with John Banks, he watched everything that John did, studied what John did and kind of molded himself around that. If you have a Thorpe Award winner that you get to model your game after, you know it's a compliment to him that he took advantage of that opportunity and rose to the occasion, used all that information. And you see it on the field towards the end of the season. I think the sky is the limit, he's still a young guy."
"And the neat thing about him, the neat thing about Benardrick, Kendrick; they weren't highly-recruited kids. But then you see them with the development with Coach (Dan) Mullen and Coach (Matt) Balis that they have in this program, and what a high level they're playing at right now in this league."
What did you learn in your first year as coordinator? "Well I've been a coordinator since I was 24 years old! I was just a little baby coach, a GA up at Fordham in the Bronx and was offered a defensive coordinator job at 24 years old. I asked my wife, you think I'm ready? 'Yeah, you're ready, let's go!' So I've been doing it."
'And every year is a new challenge. But just being in the SEC, the quality of the coaches you go against week-in and week-out, the quality of athlete. Then you turn on Rice's tape, it's really no different than what I've been seeing all year long. I mean I was in Conference USA for two years at UCF, I know what a big deal this game is. You turn on the film and watch those guys play, I mean they are a quality team, they've got players left and right, all over the field. So we're just excited to play them."
You mentioned some guys weren't highly recruited, what did State see in Calhoun that others didn't? "One of the big things was he was in camp, he had a good camp evaluation. I got here kind of at the end of that recruiting cycle. But you go into his high school and every coach, every principal, every teacher (said) you will not find a better person—person—than Taveze Calhoun. Great player, great athlete, but they sold us on his character and his work ethic. Then you look at his camp numbers, you're like if he has this character and this work ethic and has this physical ability, the sky is the limit for what he can do. We took a chance and Taveze has made us look really smart."
Have you prepared for Rice's offense differently than most bowl camps, turning the physicality up? "Absolutely, they're physical. It's hard to replicate with a scout team how physical and strong they are. Coach Mullen has done a good job of letting us work against the ones and twos, which normally we don't do as much, just so we can replicate how big and physical and what a power run game they have."

Bone is composed of an organic part and an inorganic part.
So a fossil is a bone whose organic part has been replaced to some degree by inorganic elements.
So it has slowly become more like stone.
Burial is the most important step in making a fossil.
It has to be buried and it has to be quickly buried before . . . after death.
So if you leave it lying around for a while after it's dead,
chances are something is going to get to it and eat it
or a herd of wildebeests is going to pass over it and crush it into millions of pieces
or it's going to just deteriorate from the weather.
Even after it's buried, it takes a long time to fossilize.
It doesn't always get preserved.
And also even when it is preserved in these ideal conditions, we don't always find it.

An Introduction to the Cursillo Movement
According to the National Episcopal Cursillo,
the goal of Cursillo is "to change the world,
to remake the world in Christ and to restore all
things to Christ," beginning with our own
environments. The Three-Day Weekend introduces
the strategy of Cursillo – a structure or
a backbone for Christian life in every environment.
The Fourth Day represents the ways that we continue
to support each other in living that Christian
life and it consists of Group Reunion, Ultreya,
Spiritual Direction, and Communities in Action.
These things are the heart of the movement!
A Little History . . .
Cursillo actually began with small groups, which
we now call Group Reunion. Active, zealous Christian
laymen in Spain sought ways to bring Christ and
their Christian values into their real life situations.
Because the movement originated in Spain, we have
carried over many of the Spanish words originally
used. This group of men met weekly, prayed together,
and planned ways to bring Christ into their everyday
settings. They found strength and mutual encouragement
for each other as they carried out their plans
under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As this
circle of friends grew, they began to hold weekend
retreats to focus on the fundamentals of Christianity,
the study of our everyday environments, and how
to take an active, intentional role as Christian
leaders and witnesses of the Gospel.
Realizing that active Christians could not survive
in isolation, the early leaders of Cursillo determined
that the small groups needed to be linked regularly
for celebration and encouragement. These regular
gatherings we call "Ultreya." This word
emphasized the need to persevere in the overwhelming
task of apostolic witness while conveying a sense
of hope.
In addition to attending a Three-Day Weekend
and joining Reunion Groups and Ultreya, Spiritual
Direction is advocated as an intentional and continuous
discernment of God's call in our lives.
Both lay and ordained individuals may be trained
to offer Spiritual Direction. People often seek
spiritual direction during a time of transition
in their lives but a Spiritual Director can also
be used as a guide for personal spiritual growth
as an ongoing discipline. The Community in Action
describes the overall Christian Community, living
out the call of Christian Leadership together.

Good & Bad: Carnival Magic Cruise Review by IvanMike
Overall Member Rating
Good & Bad
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
We went exploring the ship, and it was very clean, and easy to maneuver around on. We don't mind climbing stairs so up and down we went, and front to back checking all the areas. I was interested in the gym, and was glad to see a few pieces of equipment that I was familiar with. So I will now go by different things I experienced.
Gym: Lots of treadmills, but only one would incline above a 5. Not too impressed with that. All the other equipment More worked fine, but was very cramped as each machine is within an inch or two of the next. You had to be aware when people used the equipment so as not be in their range of motion on some equipment. There is a shower and steam room across the hall from the gym, but no one told me that, but I found it on the next day. I had a friend tell me they had a great package for wet and dry saunas and mineral pools, I was very disappointed to hear this was $250 a person to use. That was ridiculous.
Marketplace, for breakfast was average. If you want something fast it was fine. I did eat an omelette every morning, and those were good. The line is worth the wait, but all other food was meh. Luckily there is Tabasco about everywhere.
Southern Lights: Carlos was our waiter and he was great, he had a great group he worked with. The food was above average, It was a 6 out of 10 for most things. Others that we talked to also said the food wasn't as good on this ship as they had experienced on other ships.
Burger Shack: by the middle pool was always busy, it was okay, I like a loaded burger and I was able to do that there.
Deli on aft of ship: We ate there, we both had a sandwich there, my wife's arugula sandwich had absolutely no flavor. I had a Reuben, it was average, so we never even went back.
Seaday Brunch: This was good, I had a steak and eggs, and the fancy french toast, it was actually probably my best meal on the ship. Allen was our waiter and showed some magic tricks, very nice.
Room Service: We ordered sandwiches, and they were small and tasteless also. Although it did arrive promptly.
Taste Bar: We thought you would get to taste a lot of different things there, ...not. 2 things and they were exactly that. A taste, less than a bite.
Comedy Club: We went to the Punchliner a few different times and were highly disappointed. Just June was not funny, I don't think I laughed once. We saw a few more there, and all were pretty pathetic, whether you went to the family or the adult ones. I wasn't offended, it just wasn't funny. I am not a fan of George Lopez so I guess if he hand picks these, they are his style of funny. I am more of a Gabriel Iglesias, John Pinnette (RIP), Mike Birbiglia kind of person.
Carnival Magic Dancers: Oh my gosh, I have seen better dancing from an elementary school play. They were pretty bad. I hope Carnival has them doing other chores on the ship as they shouldn't be riding for free from their dancing.
Magician: I can't remember his name, as his whole show was forgetable, They said they had flown him out from Vegas. I suggest they fly him back and not do that again.
Juggler: They had a Juggler, I think his name was Victor from Mexico. He was the best show on the ship. I never laughed so hard on the ship as I did during his show. I wish he had more shows, I would have went to each of them.
Elane and her band: Not sure of their name, but they were very good, especially with the Motown and R&B. Her 80's was good, but you could tell where her heart was. She and the band were awesome and fun to watch because they all had fun with each other.
Water Slides: While fun even for adults, beware of the super heated deck to walk on, and the seams in the tubes.
Ropes Course: This was more fun that it looked on the ground. Added degree of difficulty is wind and the rocking of the ship. But it was fun.
I know I mentioned some of the staff before, the ship was actually nice, clean, and all of the people we had were wonderful. Carlos, Emil and our other waiter, were wonderful in Southern Lights. They danced and sang and just had a great time. They kept our glasses full all the time and food coming. Our room steward and his staff, Eduardo, was wonderful, efficient and our room was always impeccable. Manuel at Shore Excursion desk was very professional, and we appreciated his help. I would have to say we only ran into one person that wasn't nice, and that was Robert from Poland at the Guest Services Desk. He was an ass. Kind of a snobby jerk when we asked him to help us. We took our non working cd with pictures to him first to just see if he had a computer to try it out so we could see if perhaps it was our computer not able to pull up the pictures. After talking with him for a minute he couldn't be bothered and told us to go to shore excursions. Oh you may wonder how many people were waiting in line at Guest Services? Zero, we were the only ones. Once over at Shore Excursions Manuel tried the cd and then called Dolphinaris and they told him they would email us a link with the pictures to download. Other than that, all the staff was wonderful. Like I said earlier, Elaine and Victor were awesome entertainers.
This was our first cruise, possibly our last. While the ship was fine, the excursions were pitiful. We have done all inclusive resorts before and I like being in charge of my own destiny and not at the mercy of not going to a port. I would suggest not believing all the wonderful reviews on the excursions put out by the cruise lines, they are severely biased. Less
Published 04/16/14
Cabin review: 8425
Cabin was small as expected but plenty of room for all of our stuff. I didn't really notice how small it was after the first day because of the efficiency of the space used. Always cleaned, I swear they are ninjas when it comes to cleaning and making the towel animals and turning the covers down.
Port and Shore Excursions
Scuba Diving
Belize: We picked a two tank dive on Turneffe Atoll. We had read a lot about this trip and thought this would be wonderful. This was my worst dive I have ever done. The dive master was a jerk the whole time except when we were heading back. He didn't talk to anyone on the boat unless he was barking orders. The other dive master Abel was great, really nice, with my luck so far on this cruise I got the jerk for my dive master. The first dive was nothing coral, not many fish, a lobster and that was it. They got all of us on the boat and said we were going to go to the next area to dive. They pulled the anchor and turned the boat on but we didn't move, we floated for about 15 minutes and then they dropped anchor again and we dove the same spot again. Worthless. More coral and saw nothing. The other dive group took off and saw a ray and some other things, but our dive master just stayed pretty much under the boat. Lesson learned, don't get excursions through the cruiseline. Overpriced.
Dolphin Swim & Encounter
Cozumel: We picked Dolphinaris to swim with Dolphins and snorkel and other activities. The Dolphins were great, our trainer Anna was very knowledgeable and the Dolphin we had was the mother to some of the others. BEWARE: They are Pancho Villa when it comes to cameras, none are allowed as they will rob you later for the pictures they will sell you. After we were done with the dolphins, we grabbed our snorkel items and went with the group to go snorkel. What they don't tell you is they have a small area about the size of our living room that is where you snorkel, and they make you wear a life vest and you can walk the whole thing, so it isn't deep. Then they pack about 50 people in there and give you 20 minutes. So we declined this and asked if we could snorkel in the kayak/paddle board area, the answer in english and spanish was NO. That area was about twice the size of the snorkel area. So we went to the all you can eat buffet, it was worse than the Marketplace on the boat. We did buy the pictures and video, (they ask $250 but you can cut it almost in half) Later on the boat, we put in our CD for the pictures and it didn't work. It took me a few days and some calls all over Mexico, but I finally got the pictures. We heard later that the Chaakanab is the best excursion here in Cozumel. Anything would have been.
First off we were supposed to go to Roatan, and we were parked right in front of it, and then they decided to leave and go to Belize. They said it was due to rough seas. I have several pictures of the seas and I know I have been in my sailboat and other much smaller boats on seas much rougher than that. The waves were perhaps 2-3 at most. We had brought Christmas presents and other items with us to give to our son who lives on Roatan, this was one of our main reasons to actually go on this cruise. I couldn't believe that there wouldn't be other arrangements for tenders or the other port if this is the case.

Beginning Knitter Hat
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
This is a great pattern to use in a beginning knitting class. The hat can be done with one skein of yarn. The design gives lots of practice with garter stitch before moving on to picking up stitches, learning to purl (for stockinette stitch), decreasing, and sewing a seam. New knitters love working with the colorful Kureyon yarn, but any aran weight yarn could be used.

Nowadays it seems as if everyone is chasing the same dragons as a means to set themselves apart and become the definitive destination for online horror-themed entertainment. Another YouTube channel has opened, and it has some big plans.
The Orchard, a pioneering independent music and video distribution company operating in more than 26+ global markets, has entered into a long-term marketing and branding relationship with horror film web publisher Shock Till You Drop (a division of Crave Online and Evolve Media).
The multi-year global pact will see the companies combine their resources to acquire and market contemporary horror films through all home video channels including digital and DVD. Crave Online gets over 25 million unique viewers monthly on its male oriented websites. The Orchard will use its expanding YouTube Multi-Channel Network Group (ranked #6 by ComScore in monthly unique viewers) to launch a Shock YouTube channel which will act as a destination for horror fans to access what's new and cool in horror film and media.
Congrats to all those concerned. We'll be watching.

Parental Involvement Survey Being Mailed
Parents of children with disabilities will be receiving a Parental Involvement Survey via regular mail. Potsdam Institute for Applied Research, an independent research firm, is working with the New York State Education Department to survey parents of children who are receiving special education services. Parents in school districts throughout the state are completing this survey. For more information, please see the attached letter from Susan Kosser, the district's assistant to the superintendent for student support services.
