Top Teachers: Katie Schwieder
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/18/11
On their 20th wedding anniversary, Katie Schwieder and her husband, Wylie, had an epiphany. She had spent her professional life as a banker and corporate trainer, he as a corporate executive. But with their four children finished or nearly finished with their public schooling, Schwieder said, "we decided it was time to give back."
With that, they both quit their jobs to become teachers. Wylie Schwieder is in his third year teaching math at Henrico High School and Katie is in her second teaching English at Fairfield Middle School.
The transition wasn't a difficult one for her.
"In a sense, I've been a teacher my whole life," she said, recalling her days as a branch manager at a Wisconsin bank, then as a corporate trainer who assisted with team development, resolving conflict and customer service issues.
"Every day in the classroom, my customer is that child who's in front of me, and his or her parents," she said. "I always feel like I'm here to serve them. The product is education."
Schwieder feels meant for sixth-graders – students caught in between the regimented schedule of elementary school and the flexibility of high school – as they work to define themselves in a sometimes chaotic blend of emotions.
"They're independent but still children," she said. "They're trying to grow up but really not sure how. They're concerned with having friends, but sometimes they just really need a hug."
English is a natural fit for Schwieder, who grew up with a healthy appetite for reading and writing.
"I'm passionate about helping young people learn to communicate," she said, "to express themselves both in writing and orally in a way that helps them be successful and engage with other people – especially in a world so technologically advanced now."
To that end, Schwieder often builds her lessons around topics that the students themselves select.
One, for example, requires students to write about "My Most Unforgettable Day" – allowing them to recall their most prideful or special moments. Another asks them to address the topic "If I Could I Would" by writing about something they'd love to do.
Schwieder then encourages students to try the things they write about. Last summer, one student took piano lessons as a result. Another went to football camp. A third learned to make jewelry.
"Visiting her classroom, you feel the energy of inspiring lessons and students who want to be the best they can be for her," one nominator wrote of Schwieder.
Schwieder's in-class "book clubs" allow students to discuss books together, then create video commercials, skits or even re-write a book's endings as a group.
By reading Three Cups of Tea – a book by Greg Mortenson about his efforts to establish schools for girls in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan – Fairfield sixth-graders have learned to relate to children their age half a world away.
"I'm trying to open up their minds to the world beyond the East End of Henrico," she said. "I wrote in all my Christmas cards last year that I have found my calling. It's been very rewarding."

But speaking with Sher about everything from Sue's senior year to the pressures young women face in Hollywood, it's clear the adorable actress is headed straight for the top in real life.
Chatting with us on her way home from the set, Sher curses when the chicken wings in her passenger seat slide off the seat — the first of many indications that she is, quite possibly, our spirit animal.
"I would say it's maybe my best quality, that I have emergency hot wings in my car," she said. "You just never know."
It is this first glimpse of Sher — funny, unpretentious, honest — that hints a common thread may exist between her and the awkward, but relentlessly optimistic, character she's been playing on The Middle since 2009 (and for which she won a Critics' Choice Award in 2013).
Like Sue, Sher tends to operate at full throttle... even while idling.
"I used to be very hindered or inhibited or whatever and then I was like, 'Screw that! No, that is A-OK, and I am going to be me. You can do you," she told us. "I sort of allowed myself to feel happiness and be optimistic. People like to shut ya down, and people like to tell you you're being ridiculous."
Sher doesn't dwell on the negative, though.
Although she does find it discouraging that woman-on-woman bashing is so prevalent today, she thinks more in terms of change — "It doesn't make me mad, it makes me all the more motivated," she said. "I feel like, 'You know what? We're not done yet, and it's OK.'"
Women supporting each other — and men supporting women — is important to Sher, who has long been a self-proclaimed feminist. When we broach the subject, it's obvious she is ready to sink her teeth into the topic.
Although she openly worries that many young women today seem to be reverting in terms of progress, Sher points to several women in Hollywood who continue to make strides.
"My kind of two idols in life, like I would just crumble if I met them, are Tina Fey and Amy Poehler," she said. "And I think Lena Dunham does a pretty good job of at least being super unapologetic. No matter how you feel about her show or whatever, she is f***ing doing her so hard — not apologizing — and I love it."
Another woman Sher thinks is a total badass, but who gets too little credit, is singer Janelle Monáe.
"I think she flies under the radar because you can't pigeonhole her. You can't put her in any sort of box. She's sort of gender ambiguous but so beautiful, yet not over-feminine. She's just awesome," gushed Sher.
It's women like this, in many ways, who inform Sher's portrayal of Sue and make her so proud to bring this lovably human character to life. Sue, though painfully awkward at times, is unfailingly herself and that's a message Sher is proud to convey.
"People go apeshit for Darrin and Sue!" she said, laughing, of her character's current relationship. "And I'm totally down for it. I love it. The creators of this show — which I like to think I've helped with — have done such a good job of creating this character that would otherwise be seen as dorky and not objectively cool in any sort of classic way. She's a dork, yeah, but boys don't hate her!"
And, most importantly, they like her just the way she is.
"There are a lot of 17-year-olds that are way over-sexualized in the media, but Sue's just not," Sher said. "At all. They found such a perfect way to have her be a real person."
True, Sue is refreshingly normal. But, sadly, she's not the kind of character that is mainstream, per se — but Sher thinks there's hope for the industry yet. "I feel excited, but yeah, it sucks to think, 'Oh, man, I'm totally in the minority.' I think it's changing, though. If you watch Parks and Rec or really anything with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, they're killing it," she said.
"Even though they're not teen girls, they are hella real people and they are in charge and smart," she added, "and it's not predicated on their sexuality in any way, which is so cool."
It's a shift that resonates deeply with the actress, who notes that — although confident in her looks — she "was not given these crazy, amazing, classically beautiful looks." In turn, she says she developed a personality.
"In getting jobs, it wasn't possible for me to get the pretty girl roles," she said, "so it was such a blessing in disguise that I had to get a role where the appeal of it was something else... something based on my talent."
Unfortunately, Sher still feels the gravitational pull of unrealistic standards from time to time. "I feel like maybe there are so many pressures girls and women face, but the one lingering that just won't go away is you gotta be skinny. You're not pretty if you're not skinny," she said.
And while Sher — who does Krav Maga and spins regularly — takes pride in her physical strength, she can't help falling prey to old insecurities occasionally.
"I practice every day yet when I look in the mirror my first instinct — after years of being like, 'F*** that! You're beautiful!' — is always, 'Ugh! The extra flab on my arm or whatever.' And it gets me pissed off."
Still, she does a pretty bang-up job of keeping herself grounded. "I'm pretty quick to call bullshit on myself and be like, 'Hey, hey, hey, that is enough of that. You are healthy and awesome.' Even if I were [overweight], I'm a cool-ass chick, so whatever!"
Of course, that confidence was a long time coming. Like Sue, Sher experienced some, um, growing pains.
"Oh, my God — are you kidding? I could probably name on one hand the moments during years 11 to 19 when I wasn't awkward or self-conscious," she said, laughing.
Like many young women, she unfairly compared herself to her television reciprocals... the girls who were supposed to reflect what she looked like and was going through, but fell woefully short.
"I definitely would watch The O.C. and have these horrible meltdowns over Marissa's legs in the Ugg boots and her jean skirt, and the way her legs didn't even touch and were so perfectly tan," she said, "and I was just this marbly, kinda round, like 3'11" troll-type thing."
She's come a long way since those torturous days.
Today, she's gutsy and funny and smart and pretty and — bonus? — actually giving girls a realistic reflection of themselves. It's because she manages to nail that beautiful dichotomy of strong yet vulnerable that mothers often approach her on the streets to say thank you.
Well, mothers... and gay men.
"One of my best friends who's gay said, 'You realize Sue is a gay icon, right?' And I was like, 'Whaaaat?! That is the highest honor!' So I'm looking at RuPaul and I'm like, 'Oh, my God, yes. Sue's a drag queen,'" she said of the epiphany.
"And that makes sense," she shared. "'Cause in my real life, I feel unbeatable. I feel super strong. And I'm also the most emotional trainwreck of a person. So there's that."

Holly Preuss: In good health convey you for havingability me, this is great!
Shawn: Cool! Let's jump accurate into it here. One item I was prying roughly speaking is the complete item beside general tagging. I was speculative what you design about civic tagging and maybe the impact on SERPsability.Post ads:

Holly: Yeah, I feel it is emphatically havingability a chief striking on how group are showing up on the grades folio. Someone able to be labelled next to the key lines thatability are vastly principal to your business organisation is only just a large striking to how you exhibit up on at the top of the results page. And it's a remarkably tough entity for you to run as a business, or as an respective but I ponder unquestionably it's mortal shown thatability the survey engines are seeing it as a gigantic cheerful and ambitious populace up who have been tagged up to the top.
Shawn: Great, and perchance for the improvement of a person who isn't wholly familiar with with it could you right present a flooring height position of what social tagging is all about?
Holly: Yes, utterly. Public tagging is inherently the skilfulness of the soul to sticky label thing thatability they are looking at done a series of deviating applications be it del.icioability.us or diggability or something similar to that, wherever they essentially relay those software programs "these are the keywords thatability this page is about". And it's bad because it's a linguistics appearance at the smug of the web verses the several spiders of the explore engines locomotion through and wearisome to found what these keywords are. It's havingability person read it and notifyingability these diverse computer code programs "hey, this is what this is about". That's essentially what it is.Post ads:

Shawn: OK, great! Different article I looked-for to ask you give or take a few and the circulate you are active to shout give or take a few at the Associate Pinnacle is fair fundamentally managing you honor online. Conscionable rummy more or less one strategiesability you may possibly have on all sides that, and some tips thatability you could helping with few ancestors here?
Holly: Yeah, really. Your web honour is a convoluted piece in flush engine results in thatability you have what we would chew over above the crease results on the a range of polar engines. So it's one item for your piece of ground to reveal up at the top of a results leaf for a specified magnitude of voice communication. But the next query is is thatability what is the some other 4 or cardinal thatability you are sighted proper here at the first time and how do you rule cheerful references to yourself? In unquestionable instances any group may have conceivably a report snatch thatability wasn't overgenerous or a bad stamp album reassessment thatability may floor show up at the top and how do you make certain thatability at smallest the early few are deeply constructive nearly you?
Maybe something refusal could viewing up. A nifty variety of this is a Starbucksability.comability. If you variety Starbucksability into Google the most basic follow folio is all just about Starbucksability the corporate parent, but another one thatability comes up is a holiday camp thatability is existence hosted by one nation who deprivation on one's own potable houses to be the normative and not Starbucksability and so it is not a great reference to them and thatability tends to come in up at the top.
So in footing of how do you charge it, it becomes an interesting point because you no longest merely have to be on pins and needles roughly your preliminary piece of ground. You need to perhaps have remaining mini-sitesability or you may make up one's mind thatability you want to industry beside causal agent like-minded a life-tipsability and later your linguistic unit or your companiesability christen consequently comes up to the top at these else places where peradventure you are division any fulfilled. These are whatsoever of the holding thatability we are recommendingability for ancestors thatability run into this out of the ordinary circumstances.
Shawn: So would you say thatability you try to take over the prototypical 5 results, perchance the first-year ten?
Holly: Yeah, you cognise ten would be ideal, that's really the oldest leaf. But conspicuously the top five, above the bend is genuinely grievous.
Shawn: Yeah, I forget what decision I have my projection screen at, but for me preceding the crease is the first cardinal results. I'm sighted almost all the grades within. I happened to form at the one for Starbucksability within and I see apposite now for cipher cardinal is "I loathe Starbucksability.com".
Holly: Yes, exactly.
Shawn: Well, stimulating. And do you have any philosophy on the new announcement by the FTC just about regulationsability say name of chops commerce and how within should be disclosuresability if cause is effort paid in any way? Same once in instance, I see sides a lot beside PayPerPostability wherever relations were self salaried to preach something like consistent companies?
Holly: Yeah, definitely. I reflect on the outward it's ever a grave notion. If you've brought causal agency in to pen nearly you, within are unquestionably way to idiom thatability so thatability it's not a, "OK, we of late employed a guy off the road to deliberate our guests and he doesn't needfully know thatability more active it." Within is a way to share a confidence it thatability I deliberation can be nonrecreational and let your readers genuinely know what's going on. Disclosure, of course, is e'er the fastest waylay.
In vocabulary of them future in and wearisome to fine-tune it, I come up with it's going to become a totally sticky entity. It reminds me a tiny bit of getting a business firm email from mortal. They all have thatability undersize written material on the bottom, "If you've prescriptive this email in error, you involve to destroy it and send word us appropriate away." I'm feat the ability thatability if thatability were to reallocate anterior we would commencement to see thing suchlike thatability and it would virtually turn a blur because it gets standardized, it gets announce more than a few lodge on the bottom, and general public are honourable active to rubric over and done with it. Versus, the communal doing it themselves as a finest practice, it's active to come in out in polar ways and it's going to be a lot more than cleansing agent. You've got to believe on the open to vet out this kind of activity alternatively of annoying to change it, is my place of duty on it.
Shawn: Yeah, with bated breath it will be both gracious of a sponge down solution. I cognise a lot of affiliatesability are mixed up thatability it would be exceedingly obtrusive in the way thatability they assignment to a journal if you have to put after respectively link, i don't know in punctuation "AFF" or something, to intend thatability it was an associate connection. Relatives were a wee freaked out thatability it would scotch the flowing of the way they are doing property.
Holly: Absolutely, yea. I'm in agreement beside thatability. Yea.
Shawn: Different point I desired to ask you astir is what do you expect almost the discrepancy concerning Go through 2.0, which I living language about, versus time-honored search, and whether or not thatability would be a danger to Google. I've seen thatability Investigate 2.0 is thoughtful the third classmates of search out. It takes the extant search, say Google or Overture, and it adds many superior connexion models to it. Do you assume that's of late a meaninglessness or is it thing citizens should be sounding into?
Holly: I construe it has, unfortunately, become a bit of a bunk. Fundamentally all of these rummage through engines have got inordinately nifty engineers who advance their occurrence on the web and looking at how optimal to categorise all of this subject matter thatability they are testing so urgently to organize in a tremendously legal way. So here is a pocket-size bit of a "we're one stair ahead" of people who may be optimizingability for spoken language thatability don't apply or more than a few dark hat fill up thatability possibly will be active on bringing up the rear the scenes.
But I focus at long last thatability the state of affairs thatability is truly on the horizon, and this ties back into something thatability we were discussingability earlier, is this concept of a linguistics web, where it's not active to be all these spiders exasperating to read what this website is about, and how it's going to begin to incorporated what humanity are actually display and what humanity have distinct this is around into their search out. I weighing that's genuinely where on earth the disparate survey engines are going to have to go if they are going to resource up and it's decidedly something I assume thatability different affiliatesability inevitability to be intelligent going on for as they displace redirect is wherever the search out engines are superficial next. I dream up thatability this is fragment of it.
But as an general thing, Web 2.0 is livelihood up near what the poke about engines are doing. Gross firm thatability what you are doing on your site is on the job for how the scrabble engines are sounding at it today. It in use to be all roughly Meta tags. It utilized to be in the order of remaining material possession. Now it's a undersized bit distinct in thatability you fair have to hold up beside it and take home confident thatability you're successive unexcelled practicesability and abidance up.
Shawn: Confident. Vindicatory one second ask I was strange going on for whether you have any favourite blogs thatability you mostly go to or any riches you'd be willing and able to share?
Holly: Perfectly. I'm a big fan of a diary called JenSenseability.comability. It's a genuinely fitting web log mega for ecstatic providersability. She purely seems to be undeniably on top of those belongings. I guide terminated to Room Battelle's diary beautiful regularly. He seems to take into custody belongings truly like lightning.
Generally speaking, I purely keep up near any other than searchenginewatchability.comability and those only as a comprehensive summary of what's going on. Of class ReveNewsability.comability is astonishing as resourcefully.
Shawn: OK, excessive. Economically thanks a lot for your incident today and all this large keenness into what's going on next to search. I genuinely recognize it.
Holly: Wonderful.
Shawn: We outer shell send on to sighted you in Las Vegas for Associate Superlative.
Holly: Thanks for havingability me.
Shawn: Convey you. Help yourself to keeping.

We know grocery
CAMS Software provides innovative transportation solutions designed specifically to meet the distinct and demanding requirements of large-scale grocery distribution. Since 1998, we have deployed to over 115 major grocery distribution centers all across North America.
Grocery transportation typically involves short-range distribution of grocery and perishable product to and from the same locations over and over. Oftentimes this is done using a large private fleet. Most Transportation Management Systems (TMSs) are designed primarily for shipping with the lowest cost of transportation, not necessarily managing your own private fleet and all the assoicated challenges.
CAMS Software designs solutions to handle the numerous challenges unique to grocery transportation such as driver bids, activity based compensation, on-time delivery performance and tracking, backhaul and salvage optimization, reusable asset tracking, driver efficiency tracking and so on. For these reasons, CAMS Software is the TMS solution provider of choice for more major grocery companies than any other TMS.
The CAMS philosophy
Our flagship product, Prospero, is named after the main character from Shakespeare's The Tempest. In his final speech, the sorceror Prospero seeks redemption not from his peers on the stage, but from the audience itself:
Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Given that the play was Shakespeare's last major work, many scholars agree these words were Shakespeare's own, explaining to his listeners that his life's work is only given meaning through the enjoyment produced in his patrons.
In the same manner, CAMS Software is tied to its clients by the threads of their successes. If we take on your business, we only succeed if you do; your prospering is our prospering.

|Optimise Indexing time using lucene..
|Tue, 08 Apr 2008 22:23:07 GMT
Hi all, I am new to lucene and am using it for text search in my web application, and for that i need to index records in database. We are using jdbc directory to store the indexes. Now the problem is when is start the process of indexing the records for the first time it is taking huge amount of time. Following is the code for indexing. rs = st.executequery(); // returns 2 million records while(rs.next()) { create java object .............; index java record into JDBC directory...; } The above process takes me huge amount of time for 2 million records. Approximately it is taking 3-4 business days to run the process. Can any one please suggest me and approach by which i could cut down this time. Thanks in advance, Varma -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Optimise-Indexing-time-using-lucene..-tp16575115p16575115.html Sent from the Lucene - Java Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

This level basically consists of 2 parts: Attacking the Covenant stronghold, and then defending the subsequent Promethian counterattack. On Heroic or harder, this is an EXTREMELY difficult level, especially on the latter half.
You start at the very back end of the level, at the bottom of a small incline. Proceed just a few steps up the hill, and you'll see a pair of jackals(2/10) on each of rocky pillars dividing the approach into 3 seperate paths. Hang back and snipe them, then turn your attention to the numerous Grunts at ground level. (There's about 40 Grunts in the entire level.)
about 4 Grunts coming in pairs will march toward you down the left, right, and middle paths. Don't enter any of the paths yet, just wait for the Grunts to approach and you can pick them off easy. In the middle path, and Elite is standing in plain sight with a Carbine. Take him out, but be careful about getting too close to the middle path, because one or both of the Shade turrents can hit you easily from here.
Now you are going to start probing the left and right paths. This means you start to enter one of them, and wait for enemies to come to you. At this point, multiple Grunts and Jackals coming in groups of 2 or 3 will appear one at a time on the 2 side paths. Take them out, but always watch for the Shade Turrents. The left path is a little easier at it offers more cover and the Shades are at a less favorable angle there.
No matter which path you take, 1 Elite is at the end of the path. Hit each one with the Covenant Carbine (because it's the only ranged weapon with ammo in the area) until they fall. Stay inside the paths, and don't exit until everybody gaurding the approach is dead.
If the Shades are still firing, it's time to take them out too. Each turrent is manned by an Elite, but killing him will only cause the Grunts to man the turrent in their place. It's better to shoot the turrent itself, or if you have a good aim with a Plasma grenade, to stick the turrent (although one stick won't completely destroy it).
Now that this is done, the only enemies remaining are actually on/inside the Forerunner structure. Pick a path and slowly move up. When you approach, the enemies will file down the ramp (each ramp has someone mounting a plasma turrent) to attack in waves. 6 or so Grunts will attack you in the front, while at the same time another group of Grunts led by an Elite will be moving out the path on the other side (the one you didn't take) and try to trap you. Toss a grenade into the front Grunt pile, snipe the plasma gunner, then turn around and deal with the other Covies behind you. Be very careful to watch for the Grunts carrying Fuel Rod Cannons (about 1 in every 4 Grunts in this group) and take them out even before you hit the Elites. Be patient and take them all out before even setting foot on the metal. (Check both sides just to make sure.)
If they haven't already, 2 of the 4 Watchers will probably try to fly over and attack. They can shield thier Covenant allies, but can't revive them. Shoot them out of the sky when the other threats are gone. Because the Watchers only start to flee when they're fired on multiple times, it's perfectly feasible to hit them with a shot from a Fuel Rod Cannon when they get hover close.
After this, you can either head up the ramp to finally enter the structure to take out the rest of the enemies, or if you prefer a less combative approach, head back to one of the rocky pillars near the 3 paths and jump to the pointy rock at the end of one of them. Use a ranged weapon to take out a Covie or 2 and the Promethian turrent at the very back end. Because of the distance, it won't attack you from here, and since it's completely immobile you can even use a Fuel Rod Cannon shot if you can aim it well.
After you take out what you can from here, move up the ramps on either side and prepare for close range fighting. Expect at least a few Grunts, a Jackal or 2, and one Elite on the lower deck. Before you head up the ramp to the final deck, take a look inside the dark room underneath the upper deck and feel free to do a little weapon shopping. I'd advise stocking up on Carbine ammo, and maybe take a Needler, Concussion Rifle, or Beam Rifle if you ran out of Fuel Rod. The next fight is gonna be tough.
Heading up the ramp, there will be at least 3 Elites waiting for you. One's got a Sword, one has a Carbine, and one has a Fuel Rod Cannon. Try to lure the Sword Elite down the ramp so you can hit him with a grenade/Needler/Fuel Rod/enough shots with a Carbine. Then carefully peek over the top and try to hit the Elite with the Fuel Rod Cannon. It's kind of difficult since the Elite is a very quick shot with his cannon, but if you have one of your own it's possible to hit him before he can hit you. Take out the Carbine Elite, but don't rest yet! The Promethians still aren't done with you!
About 6 to 8 Watchers spawn behind you in a semi-circle immediately after you kill the last Elite. They can overwhlem you easily, since there's little cover from them up here. Sprint to anything you can and start firing right away. If you still have a Fuel Rod handy, you can blast them quick since they hover in so close. Attack the ones immediately shooting at you and ignore the ones fleeing, it'll take them a while to come back to you.
After they're done, you've got some buttons to press. As you approach each one, 6 Crawlers and 2 Watchers appear to stop you. Try to move back up to cover as you headshot the Crawlers with a Carbine and snipe the Watchers. Remember that Watchers can prolong the fight if you ignore them, and that the Promethian's strength in thier speed and numbers. Deal with each set individually, and don't try to run from them to activate the next button, because that just adds to thier total numbers and makes the fight harder.
After pressing both buttons, about 6-8 Crawlers and 4 Watchers will spawn at the top upper deck, so you'll have to breach the same tough position yet again. Try to lure the Crawlers and Watchers away from thier eleveated position to attack one at a time, then finish the 2 turrents the Watchers placed. About halfway through the fight, Command will send you some ordinance back out in the rocks. DON'T GO YET. Kill the rest of the foes first, because the ordinance is a bit of a trap.
On the one hand, if you try to grabe the SAM, Rocket Launcher, or Rail Gun, you've got plenty of powerful ordinance to deal witht the Knights. But trying to get all the weapons puts you deep inside the enemy group with no cover. Literally every Promethian will try to fire on you. If you think you can handle this, go ahead. But for an easier fight...
As you approach the nearest Rocket Launcher, the first Knight will spawn (a regular armed with a Surpressor. If you think you can tak him in one shot, go ahead, but as soon as you do so, turn and tun back up to the base, all the way to the lower deck where the Shades were. The other Knights will have spawned and probably deployed a few Watchers, who in turn will deploy some Crawlers in addition to the ones already there. But since you're up on a high vantage point with a ranged weapon, the fight is much easier. Take out the Crawlers and Watchers first (you can use a Needler on the Watchers, it's very effective) and then hit the Knights. From this distance, it might help to use a Plasma Pistol to crack the Knight's shields before you head/face shoot him.(It'll also keep them from teleporting, since it'll only take 2 shots instead of 7 or 8.) Make sure all the Watchers are dead before you tackle the Knights.
Once this is done, another wave of Promethians will give it one last shot. One of the Knights is a Battlewagon, and may try to teleport up to where you are. Use a needler for him, then move up to the upper deck and stay in cover in the back. The Watchers will reach you first, then the Crawlers. Take them out, and the Knights remaining on the bottom will be easy prey (since they have no ranged weapons to hit you with).
1. Stick with Covenant weapons because there is plenty of them in supply.
2. Use the plasma turrents if you can't safely get the ordinance.
3. Hang back and take it very slow and patiently during the first half of the level.

Market for empty inkjet cartridges booming, schools cash in
David Wood makes a good living by asking people for their empties — empty
printer cartridges, that is.
To make his business pay, Mr. Wood does a lot of asking. Every three months
he visits about 345 schools and as many as 20 churches dotted across his home
state of North Carolina. He also phones about 15 schools a day, as well as
several Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.
These schools, churches and other nonprofit groups comprise Mr. Wood's
grass-roots army of collectors, helping him gather a total of about 9,400 empty
inkjet and laser cartridges a month. He pays an average of $2.50 for each inkjet
cartridge. Then, his Raleigh, N.C., business, called Kartridges for Kidz,
resells the empties for an average $5.50 apiece to remanufacturers who will
recondition them, refill them and offer them for sale at 30 percent to 50
percent less than new brand-name cartridges.
"I'm basically asking for other people's trash, which is the beautiful thing
about this," says Mr. Wood, whose business brings in monthly revenue of about
Mr. Wood is one in a growing cadre of cartridge brokers that helps nonprofit
groups raise funds, encourages recycling and supplies a network of mostly small
remanufacturers that offer consumers a lower-cost option for running their
printers. It is a win-win proposition in many respects, except for the big
printer makers such as Hewlett-Packard Co. and Lexmark International Inc.
Brokers like Mr. Wood and the remanufacturers they supply are pinching the
printer giants, which rely heavily on profits from repeat sales of new
cartridges. The printer companies also are beginning to feel a squeeze from
office-supply outlets that sell do-it-yourself refill kits and chains such as
Cartridge World and Island Ink-Jet, which are setting up across the nation as
cartridge-refilling stations for consumers.
In the past five years, the share of the global ink-jet-cartridge market held
by remanufactured cartridges has risen to 17 percent from– percent, says
imaging-industry tracker Lyra Research. Lyra expects that to rise to 24 percent
by 2008, even though Consumer Reports and other consumer watchdogs consider
remanufactured cartridges inferior in quality.
H-P and others have responded by suing some remanufacturers for patent
infringement or other alleged offenses. They also encourage consumers to return
used cartridges for recycling by packaging post-paid return envelopes with new
John Solomon, a vice president in H-P's imaging division, says the company is
trying to help the environment, not thwart remanufacturers. "We welcome
competition," he says. Mr. Solomon calls the cartridge collectors "a cottage
industry" and says that while H-P's own cartridges are more expensive, they are
of better quality.
Remanufactured cartridges, which typically are identified as recycled or
compatible replacements for name brands, can be purchased online and are sold by
office-supply chains. On H-P's Web site, a new black cartridge for the H-P p1000
Photosmart printer sells for $29.99, while a recycled cartridge for the same
printer sells for $21.73 on the Web site of remanufacturer Rhinotek Computer
Products Inc. H-P recently sued Rhinotek, alleging the remanufacturer's
packaging misleads consumers into thinking its cartridges are new. Rhinotek has
said the lawsuit amounts to "bullying," and that it intends to fight it.
Demand for empty cartridges — sometimes called "cores" — is skyrocketing. A
used black-ink cartridge for an inkjet printer can fetch an average of $5 from a
remanufacturer, up from $3 a year ago, according to Lyra. Research firm
InfoTrends/CAP Ventures expects Americans to go through 86.5 million laser-toner
cartridges and 604 million inkjet cartridges this year.
Cartridge brokers are mobilizing their collectors to hunt for these cores.
Only "virgin cores," or cartridges that have been used just once, are considered
worthy of remanufacturing. Because good-quality cores aren't easy to find,
brokers are often willing to pay handsomely — in some cases more than $20 for a
used laser-printer cartridge.
Schools and other nonprofit organizations welcome the extra money. "Since
September, we've brought in $1,100″ from pooling used printer cartridges, says
Pat Sherrard, a part-time teacher at Sts. Simon and Jude School in Louisville,
Ky. The funds go toward new equipment for the school's computer lab, says Ms.
Sherrard, who collects about 50 used printer cartridges a month.
As competition for used cartridges intensifies, brokers are more aggressively
recruiting schools and other institutions. FundingFactory, owned by recycler
Environmental Reclamation Services Inc., Erie, Pa., has put together a
sophisticated system of points that participants can earn for empty cartridges.
The points can be redeemed for cash or goods from retail partners. Other brokers
are showing up at educational conferences to recruit new collectors or are
advertising in Parent Teacher Association newsletters.
Judy Quinn, a technology coordinator at the 1,860-student Massaponax High
School in Spotsylvania County, Va., says cartridge brokers fax her recruitment
letters every week. "It's like spam faxing," she says.
Some cartridge brokers even try to poach cartridge collectors from rivals.
Jill LaRose, founder of a shelter for teenage girls in Peoria, Ariz., used to
send her empty cartridges to a broker in Minnesota. Early last year, a broker in
nearby Phoenix persuaded her it would be easier to drop off empty cartridges
locally than to ship them out of state. So, Ms. LaRose switched loyalties. "It
just made more sense to go with someone local," says Ms. LaRose, who stockpiles
about 100 used cartridges a month, for which she gets around $250.
Ink and toner remanufacturers say the brokers are vital to their trade.
Robert Dunn, owner of ink-cartridge remanufacturer Rolo Enterprises, Elmira,
N.Y., says he purchases 2,500 empty cartridges a week from brokers and
frequently hoards whatever empties he can buy. On average, he says he pays $5.50
for a used ink cartridge today, up from $3 a few years ago. He says he sometimes
shells out $9 for hard-to-find empty cartridges. "Cartridge brokers are the
backbone of our industry," Mr. Dunn says.
Mr. Wood, the 37-year-old proprietor of Kartridges for Kidz and a former
office-supplies salesman, got into the cartridge-collection business in 2002
after a friend mentioned he was getting paid for used cartridges. After
researching the trade on the Internet, Mr. Wood and a partner, former
administrative assistant Angie Magdalena, set up their business out of Mr.
Wood's house. The duo designed a Web page, and Mr. Wood visited local schools to
hand out cartridge-collection buckets and price lists.
As the business got off the ground, Mr. Wood approached other groups, such as
churches, and college fraternities and sororities. He advertised in a magazine
aimed at PTAs. Word began to spread, and soon potential suppliers began
contacting him.
Today, Kartridges for Kidz has about 500 participating schools, nonprofit
groups and other cartridge suppliers. Mr. Wood rents five storage facilities,
where he receives the used cartridges, inspects them and packages them for
shipment to remanufacturers. He says he pays schools and others for their
empties within a few days of receiving them.
Kartridges for Kidz still is a relatively small player. Other brokers such as
TonerBuyer, a unit of Cartrx Corp., and FundingFactory say they collect more
than 200,000 empty cartridges a month. Mr. Wood believes there is plenty of
growth ahead. "There are printers everywhere, so people are always using
cartridges," he says.

While rest of the world grumbles about mosquitoes, a town in Russia is gearing up to celebrate the onset of mosquito season by honoring the insects with a festival of their own.
The absolutely bizarre three-day annual Mosquito Festival is set to take place in the Perm region city of Berezniki, where spectators will gather by the banks of a municipal pond to partake in a series of absurd events, according to a local news agency.
The activities at the carnival will include a "mosquito parade" where people will let out their inner mosquito by dressing like one.
However, the most unusual aspect of the festival is the competition for "most delicious girl," when women are crowned on the basis of mosquito bites they sustain.
"The girls will stand for 20 minutes in shorts and dresses while they are bitten, and then we will count the number of bites," explained event organizer Natalya Paramonova, adding that in her experience "mosquitoes bite people … who eat well, don't drink and don't smoke."
Apparently, an expert panel of judges – including a doctor – will examine the participants' bodies and the winner will be the one with the most bites.
The winner of 2013 contest received an itch-inducing 100 bites.
The organizers will also run another contest called "mosquito legs" where women will be ranked on how thin their legs are – probably stemming from the fact that mosquitoes have long, spindly legs.
The celebration, which began as a joke festival two years ago, will also feature a competition to see who can catch the most live mosquitoes in record time.
Watch a video from last year in order to find out more about the event:

The player deposited €200 in exchange for a 50% welcome bonus in mid November. He claims to have then verified his ID with LSbet after completing the bonus requirements tied to his deposit. He was then asked to submit an additional round of documents for the KYC process. Specifically, he was asked to submit a paper showing his account number, then a complete log of Skrill transaction history, as well as the credit card information of a friend who made a transfer to his Skrill account. The player states that following the submission of every request, his account was debited €630 in winnings and only his starting deposit of €200 returned to Skrill. The following reason was cited for the account closure and confiscation: Terms and Conditions:1.2.4 The Player's Account must be registered in Player's own, correct, name and personal details and it shall only be issued once for the Player and not duplicated through any other person, family, household, address (postal or IP), email address, or any environment where computers are shared (e.g. schools, workplaces, public libraries etc), computer (or other access device), and/or account in respect of the Services. Any other accounts which the Player opens with the Company, or which are beneficially owned by the Player in relation to the Services shall be "Duplicate Accounts". The Company has right to close any Duplicate Account (but shall not be obliged to do so). If the Company close a Duplicate Account;This decision is final and it cannot be changed. Sportsbook Review has followed up on the complaint with LSbet.

'Nashville,' Season 1, Episode 12, 'I've Been Down That Road Before': TV Recap
We finally have a set of circumstances where Deacon and Rayna can finally give in to their lust (I mean, love). Will they finally make it? Let us see.
At the top of the episode, the tour is in Chicago. Rayna is wondering why Deacon is on tour but doesn't want any drama. Teddy is not amused by this latest turn of events. They have yet another dull married conversation about the love triangle that still hasn't come to pass much to our mutual chagrin.
Juliette is full of angst this episode, wondering if she's on the right path with a big glitzy production (because Deacon, of course, wants to kick it old school ala Johnny Cash). Onstage, dancers surround Juliette as she does a sassy big-budget number and you can see Deacon has a point. The show continues to make the quietest argument ever about new country versus old and artistic image versus art.

In the late 20th century, the Fendahl skull was discovered in Kenya by a team of anthropologists under the leadership of one Dr. Fendelman. Fendelman brought the skull to an English research facility at Fetch Priory, near the village of Fetchborough. The Priory was built on a time fissure, causing psychic ability in some nearby residents. In the Priory, Fendelman and his fellow researchers Thea Ransome, Adam Colby and Maximillian Stael performed experiments on the skull, attempting to unlock its secrets. Fendelman used a crude time scanner to examine the skull, a dangerous activity which drew the attention of the Fourth Doctor. Stael attempted to capture the power of the Fendahl for himself by means of black magic rituals, performed with the aid of a local coven, but he, Fendelman and Ransome were all being used by the Fendahl to recreate itself.
The Fendahl was a gestalt creature with multiple aspects. Thea Ransome was transformed into the Fendahl Core, a humanoid female with golden skin and blank, staring eyes. Several of the cult members became slug-like creatures called Fendahleen. All the aspects of the Fendahl had powerful psychotelekinetic ability, and can control the muscles of human victims. The Fendahleen were vulnerable to sodium chloride, which altered the creatures' conductivity and destroyed their electrical balance.
In its final form, the Fendahl would consist of the Core and twelve Fendahleen; however, the Doctor was able to prevent the creature from reaching its full manifestation. He rigged Fendelman's time scanner to implode, destroying the Core and the Fendahleen. He also removed the skull, planning to drop it into a star about to go supernova.
The Fendahl has also appeared in the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Taking of Planet 5 by Simon Bucher-Jones and Mark Clapham, where a group of Time Lords from the Eighth Doctor's future attempted to release it from the time loop trapping Planet Five, only to learn that an even deadlier life-form had evolved inside the loop; the Maemovore, a devourer of concept itself, which the Doctor was only just able to defeat by convincing a group of TARDISes from the future to help him expel the entity from the universe. The Fendahl also returned in the Kaldor City series of audio plays and the Time Hunter novella Deus Le Volt by Jon de Burgh Miller.

COMPANY NEWS; Coca-Cola in Albania
Published: January 19, 1993
TIRANA, Albania, Jan. 18— The Coca-Cola Company and an Italian partner have agreed to build a bottling plant near Tirana, the capital of Albania, Government officials said last week. "An investment of between $9 million and $10 million has been agreed in principle," said Fatmir Zeneli, an official of Albania's Food Ministry. The bottling enterprise will be a joint venture of Aziende Commerciali Industriali Estere, which will hold 85 percent; the Coca-Cola subsidiary in Austria, which will have 15 percent, and Invest PF, an Albanian state company.

You bought your Ion because its reliable service and an American name agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Saturn vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. Auto enthusiasts know that good looks is built into each Saturn, and know that only the highest quality repair Ion parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Saturn vehicle drivers have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their Ion around town.
Keeping the interiors of our cars and trucks cool and comfortable has been possible since HVAC was pioneered around 70 years ago. On your Saturn Ion, the main component of this system is the A/C compressor. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Saturn Ion A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, compresses this refrigerant into a dense liquid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. If your car or truck did not have a functioning A/C compressor, your vents would only blow air that was the same as the ambient temperature of the environment.
Procuring new Saturn parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Ion parts on the internet. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Saturn Ion A/C Compressor parts for 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

The Book of Honesty is one of the eight talismans of Sir Cabirus, representing the virtue of Honesty. Written by Ravenhurst of Moonglow, the book dwells on honesty, truth and the meaning of life, looking for deeper answers. It is a strong symbol of virtue.
The Book of Honesty was hidden by the Seers of the Moonstone. The Avatar found it in Ultima Underworld, in a hidden, key-shaped room on the sixth level of the Abyss near the library. The hint was that knowledge is the key. It was cast into the lava of the Abyss later, to banish to Slasher of Veils.

Christina-Taylor Green, the youngest of six people killed Saturday during the mass shooting in Tucson, will be buried in a casket carved from red oak trees by Trappist monks in northeastern Iowa, our sister paper the Des Moines Register tells us.
The casket was built by Trappist Caskets of Peosta, near Dubuque, by the Roman Catholic monks of the New Melleray Abbey, who have become renowned for their handmade caskets and routinely donate children's caskets. They shipped keepsake crosses for her family, engraved with Christina's name.
"In the springtime we'll plant a red oak in her honor," general manager Sam Mulgrew said.
Christina's funeral service will be held tomorrow, and the National 9/11 Flag will be displayed in honor of her birthday, Sept. 11, 2001. The famous flag was rescued from the rubble of the twin towers.

I have not been using the Help Desk Module, but would like to start. Unfortunately, there are several thousand tickets that have been created due to spam. The Help Desk module will not load due to the large number of tickets. How can I delete all tickets and start from scratch?
Apr 9, 2009 at 12:06 UTC
Premier Technology Services is an IT service provider.
Download SQLite and go into the database and delete them all, would be my recommendation.

Thanks Mike, that was easy.

No problem at all. Glad I could help.

Always perform a backup in Spiceworks before editing your database. (Settings -> Backup Configuration -> Backup Now)
You should clean out the following tables by erasing all records:
- tickets
- comments
Also, in the sqlite_sequence table you can edit these entries to reset the ticket and comment id numbers (so your first ticket is not ticket 1431):
- sqlite_sequence.name = tickets
- sqlite_sequence.name = comments
Update these two entries to have sqlite_sequence.seq = 0.

Thanks Ben, good advice.

1st Post
I know some of you think this is a old post and I should start a new one but I came across this page while trying to do the same. I had some issues but got it running. This is what I did.
1. Download , SQLiteStudio (http:/
2. Open the database:
3. You should delete all data from the following tables:
and commit changes.
4. Then go to Tools>Settings> Miscellaneous and turn on the setting:
Show SQLite system Tables and Indexes in database tree.
5. Then update
sqlite_sequence = tickets
sqlite_sequence = comments
sqlite_sequence = tickets_involvements (Edit)
with value 0
Then you can use the import function described in:
May 23, 2012 at 1:56 UTC
Editing the database directly should no longer be necessary - the Help Desk Settings page now has a built-in function to bulk delete tickets.

Perfect Jaco1264 !!

Exactly one month to the day....of burying my Moma and giving her Eulogy, I found myself giving the eulogy for my son. He was a wonderful young man. 36 years old. He was my soulmate . Two people, but the same in every way possible. When I was with him, I felt totally recharged, alive, content, filled with joy....and he felt the same. We aren't sure what happened to this sweet soul. His 5 siblings and I...About a year and a half before his death, he started acting irrational . He severed all relationships with us. Our hearts were broken. He became confused, dillusional even. We continued to try to reach him. This sweet kind soul, who had been in the military, a well decorated police officer, cell phone forensics expert.....was confused. In the end, this gentle man took his life in a state of confusion and terror. His firstborn was born 5 months later.
6 1/2 months after the most horrific day a mother could ever endure, it happened again. This time to my beautiful Kerry. My daughter who was born with Rett Syndrome. She lived with me until the age of 25. With the severity of her disease, I had nurses during the day. She smiled at me everyday. She could never walk or talk.....but spoke volumes with those beautiful eyes. She knew my every secret. She did not judge. She loved babies. She was my hero.
I try as I may to keep on. I also endured a needed divorce during this time. My sister decided to not speak to me again.....and has not. But....my faith is strong. I am hoping to find a way to get through....

The Somerset County Association of Young Professionals and Wegmans Food Markets will co-sponsor an 1870s-style baseball game on Sunday, Sept. 23 at Duke Island Park's Oak Grove in Bridgewater Township.
The event will feature a vintage baseball demonstration at 11 a.m. followed by a game between the Flemington Neshanock and the Providence Grays at noon. Admission is free.
"The Association of Young Professionals identified this event as a great opportunity for community service and to offer some free family entertainment to the public," said Jim Rude, manager of local and community development for United Way of Somerset County (UWSC).
"Proceeds from the concessions stands will benefit United Way's Community Care Fund. This fund currently helps support 98 critical health and human service programs in our area."
Rude noted that the United Way expects a good turnout.
"It promises to be an afternoon of some unique entertainment and will offer a good time for all, whether or not you're a baseball fan," he said.
The Somerset County Association of Young Professionals was formed earlier this year by UWSC and representatives from local corporations. The association gives young professionals a chance to make a difference through community service while supporting each other in their professional pursuits.
The teams featured at the event are members of the Vintage Baseball Association (VBBA), which began in 1996 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first recorded baseball match between organized teams.
In order to preserve, perpetuate and promote the game of baseball as it was played in the 19th century, the VBBA offers games played in accordance with the rules, behavior, uniforms, field specifications, traditions, practices, vocabulary and equipment of the time.
"We hope this event is successful in not only raising money," said Brad 'Brooklyn' Shaw, captain of the Flemington Neshanock Base Ball Club, "but also in giving people an appreciation of our national pastime the way it was meant to be played."
For more information on this event or the Somerset County Association of Young Professionals, contact United Way of Somerset County at (908) 253-6510 or email@example.com.
United Way of Somerset County is an independent nonprofit organization that acts as a catalyst for positive change. United Way supports health and human service providers through raising funds and effectively investing them, developing volunteer resources and building community collaboratives and partnerships. With 54 affiliated agencies, United Way currently funds 98 health and human service programs that improve the quality of life for people who live and work in Somerset County.
More information about United Way can be found on the Web at www.uwsomerset.org.

This is a developing open air museum close to the small town of Damwald in Friesland. Our group of teachers from Belgium, Italy, the UK and the Netherlands went there on a bleak afternoon in March and found it really interesting, notably because the main building reconstructed on this green field was for the preparation of chicory, a substitute for coffee popular in parts of north-west Europe and more widely in wartime. Two traditional drying ovens have been restored, there is a small room for viewing films of the process and the area in general a century ago, a museum space and of course a small shop and refreshments.
The overall focus is to recreate scenes from 1900. Three typical farmhouses have been moved to the site and filled with appropriate exhibits from the period depending on the status of the family which owned them. There are vegetable plots and an orchard. The next project to be taken on the volunteers is a water-mill.

Well, it appears as though Jameer Nelson's "guarantee" didn't turn out as well as he hoped. The Orlando Magic were knocked out of the NBA Playoffs last night in 5 games, after falling to the Chauncey-less Detroit Pistons. Orlando struggled to help themselves, turning the ball over countless times, and shooting a devastating 57.1% at the Free Throw line. But, it's not like Orlando was flat-out outplayed by the Pistons. Orlando out-shot Detroit from the field (ORL: 48.4 FG%, DET: 36.1 FG%), and from the perimeter (ORL: 36.4 3-PT %, DET: 21.4 3-PT%). But, Detroit knew they had to hit free throws, and got to the line often. Detroit hit 28 of 32 FT's (87.5%), while Orlando hit just 16 of 28, for a percentage of 57.1.
In place of the injured Chauncey Billups, rookie SG Rodney Stuckey scored 15 points, with 3 boards, and 6 assists. But, it was SG Richard Hamilton that won the game for Detroit. Hamilton put his teammates on his shoulder, and carried them to the game 5 victory by scoring 31 points, with 4 steals. It seemed that every time he drove to the basket he was able to draw the foul. Hamilton hit all 16 of his Free Throw attempts, which accounted for nearly half his point total.
Orlando simply didn't have their heads in the game, and must've been intimidated by Detroit's home crowd. Orlando turned the ball over an astonishing 21 times (Detroit got 34 points off them), and had 3 starters with 5 personal fouls (Hedo Turkoglu, Dwight Howard, and Jameer Nelson), plus two others with 4 (Rashard Lewis, and Keith Bogans). I really thought Orlando had the chance to force a game 6 after they out-scored Detroit 27-18 in QTR number 3, but their hopes were destroyed a few minutes later. It seemed quite easy for Detroit, as they were pretty much handed the game, and series.
Look for a nice win streak from Detroit in the next round (against either Cleveland, or Boston). After seeing Detroit man-handle the Magic in five games, without Chauncey, I feel they can go all the way to the finals. If I was Stand Van Gundy, I would be pretty embarrased after that loss, despite losing by just 4 points.
Game/Series Notes:
- "Rip" Hamilton is now the Pistons all-time postseason points leader (2,282 in 110 games), passing Isiah Thomas (2,261 in 111 games) in game 5. Chauncey Billups is 3rd (1,859 in 105 games).
- Detroit set a record for least turnovers in a playoff game (3), in game 5.
- Detroit is now 15-3 when they have the chance to advance (since 2003).
- Tayshaun Prince blocked Turkoglu's dunk attempt with under 20 seconds to go to seal the win.
- Detroit became the first franchise to play in six straight Conference Championships since the Lakers of the 80's.
Question: Do "Guarantees" really have an affect on teams???
Answer: I really don't think they have much of an affect, Orlando just didn't have their heads in the game last night. But, I don't know, some people seem to think they have some kind of psychological affect on the team of the player who "Guarantees" a win.
Series Recap
Game 1:
Orlando 72, Detroit 91
Billups leads Detroit with 19 points, and 7 assists in 33 minutes. Orlando turns ball over 13 times, and has 8 shots blocked by Detroit defenders.
Game 2:
Orlando 93, Detroit 100
Questions surround a Billups 3-point shot, after the clock froze for a few seconds at the end of the 3rd QTR. The shot was said to be in-time, and counted. Billups went for 28 points, and Detroit wins it by 7.
Game 3:
Detroit 86, Orlando 111
Billups goes down with a hamstring injury, and Rashard Lewis goes big for Orlando (scoring 33 points), and giving the Magic their first win of the series.
Game 4:
Detroit 90, Orlando 89
Hedo Turkoglu missed a last-second layup, and Detroit heads back to Detroit on the brink of a series win. Hamilton scores 32, and Detroit looks good even without Billups in the lineup.
Game 5:
Orlando 86, Detroit 91
Detroit closes out the series at home, as Hamilton has a second-consecutive 30+ performance (31). Orlando turns the ball over 21 times, and Tayshaun Prince seals the deal with a block of Turkoglu's layup attempt with 20 ticks remaining.
Detroit will face the winner of the Cavaliers/Celtics series in the Eastern Conference Finals. Cleveland, and Boston are currently tied at 2 wins apiece. Game 5 is tonight in Boston on TNT.
