SHSS girls hoop teams ready for battle
With volleyball season finished for another year, basketball is taking over in high school gyms all around the West Kootenay.
At Stanley Humphries, the husband and wife coaching team of Gord and Kim Matson are back for another year at the helm of both the junior girls and senior girls basketball teams at SHSS.
"We're running practices together, but we're playing games separately," said Kim Matson. "Each team will have an away trip they will be going on and three tournaments around the West Kootenays. We have more than 20 games in the season so they should get lots of experience."
Gord and Kim are both former UBC varsity players and have done a great job rebuilding the SHSS program. Last year's junior girls team finished second in the West Kootenay
"For the juniors, we have some very strong players coming back," said Kim. "We've got some good grade 9's that are moving up. We've got some new height that's trying to fill in for the height we've lost. We've also got some grade 10's who are new to the game."
The junior girls team has five girls returning including three starters: forward Svetlana Hadikin, and guards Rebekah Liszt, and Rachael teBulte.
Unfortunately, the team will be without 6'2 provincial team player Michelle Matson, the coach's youngest daughter, who tore her ACL playing soccer in the off-season and will be out for the season.
"I think we'll be good this year," said Hadikin. "I've played with most of the girls on the team and we know each other really well. We're really good at defence. We've got a new offence that we've been working on and I think it'll be good."
The team also has several new players that they will call on to add depth. Stand outs include grade 9's Maddy Morehouse and Alyssa Christianson, who played for the B.C. summer games basketball team in the off-season.
The senior team has eight players signed up and will occasionally rely on juniors playing up to help them field a team. Moving up from the junior team are Kierra Cates, Theresa Thom, Leeza Perehudoff and the Matson's older daughter Kelsey.
"With the seniors, it's a little tough as we've got players juggling other commitments," said Kim. "But we've got a strong core."
The senior team will be travelling to David Thompson Secondary in Invermere this weekend where they will face off against mainly East Kootenay teams.
Cates, who is a grade 11 guard, says the team is ready to hit the court for some hoops action.
"I've played with these girls for two or three years now, so they're like family," she said. "We're looking pretty good. We play Kimberley first (Selkirk Secondary) and they'll be a good challenge. I think we can beat them this year."
Cates says the seniors should be good this season. "We're very good at communicating," she said. "We pass well and can score also. Our defence is solid too. We're good at protecting the zone."
The junior girls start their season on Dec. 11 with a league game at L.V. Rogers in Nelson at 4 p.m. The seniors play their Nelson counterparts following the junior game at 5:30 p.m.

"....surely Allah takes account of all things." (Surat an-Nisa',86)
When we look at the plants and the trees around us, we see that the branches are covered by many leaves. At the first sight, you may think that the branches and the leaves on the structure of the plant were arranged randomly and disorderly. In fact, the exit places of the branches and the leaves on all the plants, which angle they will twist, or bend and the arrangement of the leaves around their branches, are all designated by a fixed mathematical rule.
When we examine this mathematical order in the plants closely, we encounter an impressive geometrical plan that amazes humans.
Plants obey the same mathematical rules down to the letter from the first day they were created. No leaf or flower stems by chance. How many branches will be on a tree, where will these branches stem from, how many leaves will be on a branch, and with what arrangement these leaves will be placed in are all predetermined. Besides, every plant has their unique rules for branching and leaf arrangement.
Scientist can define and classify the plants only by looking to these arrangements.
The extraordinary thing here is, for example, a poplar tree in China and a poplar tree in England are both seemingly aware of the same measures, the same rules and the same ratios. The one who created every plant with unique mathematical calculations in a most aesthetic manner, and the one who owns these aesthetic systems consisted from perfect calculations, is Allah, the Master of infinite wisdom. This is stated in a verse of the Qur'an like this:
He to whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. He does not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He created everything and determined it most exactly. (Surat al-Furqan, 2)
The mathematical harmony of the leaves. Phyllotaxy
The arrangement of the leaves on plants was exposed by scientists with their many details, and this subject became a special research department in the science of botany. The leaf arrangement system which shows differences in every plant type is examined in the science of botany under the name of "phyllotaxy". According to scientific research, every plant and every tree has a uniqe leaf arrangement ratio. Wherever you go in the world, this leaf arrangement ratio of the plants and trees, which share the same type, do not change. According to these ratios, which are also called "leaf divergence" in botany, the arrangement of the leaves around the body or branch of the plant is determined by a certain numerical order.
How is the ratio calculated?
We can explain the ratio calculation in this following way. If we name the number of tours starting from one leaf, then turning around the body or branch until it encounters another leaf with the same alignment as letter A, the number of leaves we encounter between these tours will be letter B, so the ratio named "leaf divergence" will be B/A.
In all the trees and plant types, the leaves are arranged according to this ratio without any change. The "leaf divergence" ratio, which forms a spiral with equal angles and differs according to every plant type, have numerators and denominators consisting of Fibonacci numbers which give us the golden ratio every time.
Leaf divergence ratios of some trees can be sorted like this:
In trees like elm and lime 1/2
In trees like beech, hazel and bramble 1/3
In fruit trees like oak, cherry and apple 2/5
In trees like rose, poplar, willow, pear 3/8
In almond tree 5/13
Without a doubt, there is an impressive geometric plan and mathematical calculation here. Wherever you go in the world, the ratio of the trees that we gave as an example above, will never change.
The Importance of symmetry on the leaves
Since the leaves are arranged according to the Fibonacci numbers, no leaf casts its shadow on the other. All the leaves can make use of sunlight and air equally.
Every leaf can catch water in the same amount, and because of that, the water which comes from the leaves flows down through the body and reaches the root of the plant.
In consequence, the root of the plant can take advantage of the rain water with maximum ratio in rainy weather due to the special arrangement of the leaves. Leonardo da Vinci, who was one of the famous painters and scientists of his era, explored this special arrangement of the plant leaves and explained its "advantages" like this:
" Leaf, always turns its upper part to the sky. Because of this reason it can absorb the dew in the air better, by using all its surface. Leaves arranged on the plant so that a leaf only cover another leaf with the lowest ratio possible. This arrangement of the leaves provides the necessary space for air and the sun to enter the plant. As a result of this arrangement a drop which falls from the first leaf to the fourth leaf can also fall down to the sixth leaf in the same manner."
The Golden Ratio in the leaves is under control of the Almighty Allah
It is clear that if every plant type on earth did not possess a unique leaf arrangement ratio, if the leaves of all the plants were scattered randomly and sloppy, the plants cannot make use of the sunlight, air, and rain water necessary for their needs. Depending on that, the plants balance of growth will break down and getting nutritions will be harder.
All these truths shows that the arrangement of the leaves on the branches are according to Fibonacci numbers and the vital functions that this ratio brings to the plants can only be explained by a perfect creation. Allah, who created everything completely with all their deepest details, bound the functions of the leaves to their places on the branch using this golden ratio. In a verse of the Qur'an, it is stated that everything takes place within the knowledge of Allah and is under His control:
" The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows them but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of the earth, and nothing moist or dry which is not in a Clear Book." (Surat al-An'am, 59)
What is the Fibonacci Series?
Fibonacci series, which is a special series of numbers, took this name because it was first discovered by a famous Italian Mathematician Fibonacci who lived in thirteenth century. This series starts with the numbers 0 and 1 and continues to do so that every number in the series is the sum of the two numbers coming before itself. (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55...) When the ratio of the numbers which constitute in the series with each other, we always get the numerical value of the golden ratio (1,618). This number series is the mathematical code of all the creation in nature which many scientists also accepting today. In the many geometric shapes in nature, the consecutive terms of this number series can be encountered.
It is a great miracle that all the trees which belong to the same type know about the golden ratio and follow the ratio predetermined for them. For example, how can a banana tree know about this ratio and follow it?
Accordingly, if you start from one leaf of the banana tree and make 8 tours, you will encounter the other leaf with the same alignment. You will also encounter 3 leaves between these tours. This ratio will never depart from this rule wherever you go in the world, from South Africa to Latin America. Even the presence of a leaf arrangement like this is one of the important proofs that living beings did not come into existence accidentally but were created with a perfect and complex ratio, calculation, and system. The one who encodes a ratio like this into the plants genetic structure and created them with special knowledge and ability is Allah, the Owner of superior wisdom and intelligence.

i think you look great! and if short is what you're going for, you can pull it off. it'll also look good with leggings or skinny jeans (or dare i say it... jeggings)!ReplyDelete
You are too cute!!! I wish that I could still wear something that short!!!ReplyDelete
Only one day in SF??? I would just have to tell you to get out and walk. It is such a fabulous city for walking. There is always Alcatraz Island, the wharf, the cable cars, Golden Gate Park, etc., etc., etc. Have a wonderful time
Oh dear--I am a terrible advocate for my hometown (sacramento) but if the weather is nice midtown is lovely for walking (the midtown grid) and you could eat at Magpie which is closer to downtown than midtown. I also just found this blog, ironically written by a real life friend who I failed to realize had started a new blog. It has an I heart Sacramento section that may provide ideas. http://glitterandgrungeblog.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
As for SF definitely walk around. If you go to the Sweet Juniper blog and google 10 things san francisco you get a cool post of things to do. one is Clement St and there is a cheap mill end fabric store on Clement called Fabric X. We recently went to the Exploratorium for the first time with Biscuit and it was really cool but if you only have a day walk around. I also like Chestnut St and Japantown and Chinatown are fun. So many places!
SF--don't miss a hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli Square. Oh yeah, the wharf--say hi to the seals, and Golden Gate Bridge/park. Don't know about Sacramento--(even though I lived there--capitol building?).ReplyDelete
fab legs hunnie :) personally i would say it is an inch or 2 too short, but hey, you can carry it off!ReplyDelete
i think it looks like a great pattern, and at this length would be great as a tunic style top over jeans etc.ReplyDelete
It's a bit hard to tell because the pictures are small... but I think I like that fabric. I like the colour anyway!ReplyDelete
And as for the length? If your legs can look that good after too much chocolate consumption... bring on the chocolate I say! :D Seriously though, the length it is, add some leggings and you definitely will NOT match your translated words ;) Add another inch or two and you could wear it anwhere. Do what you feel comfortable with - and HAVE FUN!
Looking good!ReplyDelete
I would highly recommend a tour of Alcatraz, but you should buy tickets in advance, and visiting the Ferry Building Market. If you have time for a short drive, I would also recommend driving to the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge and taking a look towards the city from the park area up there. In Sac, there's old town, which I hear is quite pretty.ReplyDelete
Cute top!ReplyDelete
I have tons of grey hair, and it's showing up in pictures more and more. As for the length, I'd pair with leggings for San Francisco, but in the LA area you could probably go even shorter and nobody would blink an eye =)
Very cute! You and the dress:)ReplyDelete
You look fantastic! I loved hearing your alterations of the pattern,because it's on my list to make... after the consequences of MY holiday chocolate consumption have magically melted away. Only a day in SF will mean strategy. The Exploritorium really is a must with kids. Have a great time!ReplyDelete
you are just as cute as can be!! and greys? what greys?ReplyDelete
I agree with everyone else, you're cute as a button! Patterned hose (black and lacy) would be adorable with the boots/short skirt combo and maybe make you feel less self-conscious.ReplyDelete
I think the length looks good on you. And if you are comfortable with it - that's all the matters. I cant wait to see your final one.ReplyDelete
I think you look great in the tunic,the length is good on you. Looking forward to seeing the final dress. I've been meaning to sew more clothes mainly for my daughter. Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
definitely cute! make it again in the thinner fabric and wear it with some leggings or skinny jeans and you got yourself a comfy outfit! I have resolved to make more clothing too...thankfully I don't have a garage : ) (but I do have an attic...)ReplyDelete

I've been using the following to increase certain font sizes on phones.
@media only screen and (max-device-width : 720px)
It works on every phone and browser I've tried except Firefox on Nexus 4. It does work on Chrome on Nexus 4 as well as Firefox on Galaxy Nexus. If I increase it to 768px it works on Firefox on Nexus 4 but I think that will trigger iPads too.
Has anyone found a good way to target only phones?
As an aside, it's better to use max-width rather than max-device-width, but anyhow, are there really phones that huge? I can't image a phone with a declared screen width of 720px.
I found a chart of a bunch of devices and their declared widths a while back and I decided on 720px based on that. I can't seem to find it now.
Why would Chrome trigger at 720px (surely also lower) and Firefox doesn't trigger until 768px on the same device?
max-device-width is based on the phones native resolution whereas max-width is based on the total available room the browser has to work with, typically 640px is the maximum width of a standard smartphone in landscape. From my experience working with media queries the below are standard breakpoints.
Tablets768px1024px - landscape
Using max-device-width, I'm not sure why Chrome would trigger at 720px (probably 640px actually) and Firefox doesn't trigger until 768px on the same device. Do you understand why that would happen?
This is due to the max-device-width implementation within the browser itself, as I said above this is based on the device's native width which Firefox implements correctly, max-width will work on any device as it's based on the total available room that the browser has from its internal application edges.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying mobile Firefox implements max-device-width correctly and mobile Chrome doesn't?
That's correct, I've come across the same issue on both iOS and Android devices with Chrome/WebKit browsers (not Safari) but Firefox never seems to have an issue.
What makes you sure that it isn't WebKit that is using the correct device-max-width and Firefox that's doing it wrong? Are official max-device-width specs for various devices published online?


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The natural-gas-from-shale revolution in energy will continue in the U.S. through 2013. Domestic and cleaner gas is replacing coal to power our electricity grids and replacing diesel to power our trucks.And while this long-term trend of more and more natural gas use continues, the price of the fuel and their associated stocks, after a year of overproduction, remained in the doldrums, one of the weakest performers of 2012. That's going to change through 2013. I believe we reached a generational low in 2012 in the price of natural gas and we will never again see the sub-$2/mcf price we witnessed in April. Despite a rally since bringing prices to closer to $4/mcf today, natural gas remains by far the cheapest fuel, poised to take up more and more of the burden of powering America. That makes natural gas the most exciting sector for investment for 2013 and beyond in the energy space. I outline the case for natural gas and give some specific recommendations for investment in the video above. This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Evolution Hoax
Our Prophet (saas) has revealed in the hadiths that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will carry out his activities in secret in the early period when people have not yet recognized him. One of the main reasons for this is that the period that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will emerge into is one in which the effects of irreligion and moral degeneration will reach the most serious dimensions. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not appear and will not be recognized by people at a most harsh time when unbelievers harbor an intense enmity toward believers and religious moral values, and work against them both openly and in secret. This is how the hadiths say that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will perform his early activities in secret:
AT NIGHTS HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL BE ENGAGED IN WORSHIP WHILE HE WILL BE HIDDEN DURING THE DAY... (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib fi Bayan Anna'l Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale't-Tamam ve'l Qamal)
From Nahj al-Balagha: The Lord of believers (saas) said: "WHEN HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] HIDES AWAY FROM PEOPLE, NOT EVEN TRACKERS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE ANY TRACE OF HIM… (Sheikh al-Tusi, Kitab al-Ghayba, [Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51], Ansariyan Publications, Collected by: Muhammad Baqir Majlisi, Iran-Q'um, 2003, p. 186)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not appear in society during this time; he will meet with only a very few people:
"HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL CERTAINLY RETIRE INTO OCCULTATION AND TURN AWAY (FROM THE PUBLIC) DURING THAT OCCULTATION..." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 216)
Hazrat Huseyin b. Ali (as) says:
"... HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL DISAPPEAR FROM SIGHT FOR A TIME." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, p. 133; Al-Hurr al-Amili, Ithbat al-Hudat, Vol. 2, p. 333 and 399)
Hazrat Mahdi's (as) remaining secret and unrecognized at such a time will, by Allah's leave, be instrumental in him being protected from attacks by unbelievers and allowing him to work more easily.
BUT ALLAH WILL HIDE HIM (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) FROM PEOPLE AGAINST THE OPPRESSION, CRUELTY AND WASTE OF PEOPLE'S EARTHLY DESIRES. (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 162)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/11/2012 (1729 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sometimes the greatest of achievements have the simplest of explanations.
The first time Chris Jones, the defensive co-ordinator of the Toronto Argonauts, spoke to the media at the Grey Cup was after he won the coveted prize, and his secret to winning was revealed.
Sara Orlesky from TSN, the interviewer, correctly identified that the key to the game for the Argonauts was eliminating Jon Cornish as a running threat for the Stampeders. When she asked Jones how this task was accomplished, all he said was, "They have some good run-down tendencies that we identified."
That, in a nutshell, was your 100th Grey Cup.
When Jones said, "They have some good run-down tendencies that we identified," what he meant was that he knew when the Stampeders were going to run the ball. This is as helpful to a defence as an offence understanding your signal for cover zero, when you have no deep safety help. When you are a co-ordinator and you have figured out what your opponent is going to do, half, or at least part of the time, it makes your job infinitely easier.
Jones didn't say what the run tendency was, and it could have been any number of things.
Back when Dave Ritchie and Mike Gorton were running the Bombers defence (2001-2004), we identified a run tendency with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and particularly with quarterback Danny McManus. Depending upon how his feet were staggered in the shotgun snap, we could tell whether he was throwing the ball or handing it off, and it gave us an undeniable advantage.
It could have been as simple as studying the habits of the Stampeders in certain formations, on certain downs. Every time they line up in a particular offensive set, they may run the ball. It could have been the stance of one of the offensive linemen from Calgary that was too heavy and tipped it off, or it could have been as simple as the different way Cornish settled in the backfield when his number was being called.
In Saturday's column, I listed multiple reasons why either team stood a chance to win this centennial Grey Cup. Yet when deciding on who I was going to pick and bet on, I listed Jones's intimate knowledge of the Calgary offence as the deciding factor. Not only was he the defensive co-ordinator in Calgary the past four years, but when I looked at how the Argonauts played the Stampeders twice in the regular season of 2012, it seemed obvious he had long figured out how to make Calgary a one-dimensional team.
As I mentioned in that story, Cornish rushed for 43 and 39 yards the first two times they met in 2012. In the Grey Cup, Cornish managed only 57 yards. While the Argos have a capable defensive line, they are far from spectacular against the run, giving up over 250 yards on the ground against the Bombers earlier this season. It's a lot easier to stop the run, however, when you know it's coming.
It wasn't just that Calgary's offensive line did not play their best game. They simply didn't have enough blockers and were outmanned at the point of attack every time they tried to work the ground.
Whatever key the Argos defence picked up on, as soon as it revealed itself, their entire defence committed to stopping the run. This forced the Stamps to eventually abandon their ground attack and pitted Kevin Glenn in a gunslinging showdown with a quarterback whose arm he could not beat.
Calgary's strength all season long was that they employed a balanced offensive attack. The defences they played could not overcommit to the run or the pass, because if they did and they guessed wrong, the Stamps would exploit this aggressiveness. Jones, due to his familiarity with Dave Dickenson's offence, simply took the guessing out of the equation.
What has to be most disappointing for Calgary fans is that after the two regular-season games, where Jones had obviously figured out their tendencies, they didn't adjust their schemes, didn't examine their own habits, and weren't able to figure out what tendency he had identified.
The best teams I've been on study their own film as much their opponents, so they never become predictable. The fact that this "running tendency" had not changed since August, the last time these two teams met before the Grey Cup, cannot fall on the shoulders of the players.
The Calgary Stampeders lost the 100th Grey Cup primarily because they were out-coached, and had a bad habit that has yet to be fully revealed.

Object Description
|10 La. 149; APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT, THE JUDGE OF THE EIGHTH PRESIDING. It is not necessary that the citation of appeal be served within the year allowed to appeal in. If the appeal is taken and bond given within the year, although the citation be served after it has elapsed, but in time for the term of the court, it will be sufficient. An agreement made by a debtor with a part of his creditors, entered into by notarial act, in which he makes an assignment of his property to certain individuals, as trustees, for the benefit of such creditors as sign the agreement, does not constitute these persons syndics; nor does it confer power on them to maintain an action for the recovery of property alleged to belong to said debtor, but not mentioned in the act of assignment. In a dation en paiement as well as in a sale, a fixed price is of the essence of the contract. The plaintiffs, W. W. Williams, B. Hawes and N. Bolles, sue as the assignees and syndics of W. H. Barremore, in virtue of a notarial act of agreement of the latter, assigning various property for the benefit of such of his creditors as signed the said agreement, to recover a tract of land in the parish of West Feliciana, in the possession and claimed by the defendants. The defendants excepted to the right of the plaintiffs to maintain this action, because W. H. Barremore is not a ceding debtor, and consequently his syndics, if any he has, cannot institute this or any other suit for him, or in his name, for any immoveable property which he may have assigned to his creditors; and further, the defendants except to the jurisdiction of the District Court, because the rights of minors are concerned, which matters are exclusively cognizable in the Court of Probates. They also answered to the merits. The district judge overruled the exceptions, and, on the merits, there was a verdict and judgment in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs appealed. The judgment appealed from was signed the 2d of May, 1833, and the appeal was granted the 15th of April, 1834, but service of the citation and petition of appeal was not made on the tutor of the defendants (minor heirs) until the 22d of May, 1834, and on the under tutor, the 12th of June, 1834. Patterson, for the appellees, moved to dismiss the appeal, on the ground that the service of the citation, &c. of appeal was not made until after the lapse of a year from the date of the judgment appealed from. Lawrence and Winthrop, contra. Bullard, J., delivered the opinion of the court. In this case the appellees move to dismiss the appeal, on the ground that service of citation was not made within a year after the judgment was rendered. It appears that the appeal was allowed, and the bond filed within the year, but the citation was served after it had elapsed, but in time for the term of the court to which the appeal was made returnable, and that a proper return day was fixed by the judge. We think this is sufficient, and that the Code does not forbid the service of citation after the year, if the appeal has been taken in time. The motion is overruled. The plaintiffs assuming to be the assignees and syndics of one Barremore, instituted the present suit to be recognized as owners of a tract of land in possession of the defendants, and of which the latter, it is alleged, claim to be proprietors, thereby slandering the title of the plaintiffs. The defendants excepted to the capacity in which the plaintiffs appear, alleging that Barremore is not a ceding debtor, and denying that the petitioners are his syndics and have any right to maintain this action. In support of their right to sue, the plaintiffs produced in evidence an instrument under private signature, which appears to have been registered in the office of a notary public in New-Orleans, purporting to be signed by Barremore and numerous persons styling themselves his creditors, in which it is recited, that they having received and accepted of him an assignment of his property as therein described, Barremore sells, assigns and transfers, in the manner of a dation en paiement, to Williams, Hawes, and Bolles, the plaintiffs, assignees nominated by said creditors, all his stock in trade, notes, debts and accounts, together with such property, personal and real, as he possessed, &c., to be vested in said assignees for the benefit of the aforesaid creditors who shall sign the act: the assignees to sell the property under the direction of the creditors; the confidential debts to be first paid out of the proceeds. In consideration of the premises, the creditors agree to give Barremore a complete discharge. It is further agreed, that other creditors may, within four months, sign the agreement and avail themselves of its stipulations. They then appoint the plaintiffs assignees to manage the estate thus surrendered, as if they were syndics regularly appointed. It is obvious that this agreement between Barremore and a part of his creditors does not constitute the plaintiffs his syndics. The tract of land which forms the subject of this controversy is not described in any part of that document, nor is there any price stipulated; and in a dation en paiement, as well as sale, a fixed price is of the essence of the contract. Merlin's Rep., verbo dation en paiement. We are therefore of opinion, that a title did not vest in the plaintiffs as assignees, so as to enable them to maintain the present action. They are, at most, agents of the persons who signed that agreement in relation to the administration of the effects assigned by Barremore to them. The agreement contemplates a distribution of the property of an insolvent, first to what are called his confidential creditors, a distribution unknown to the laws of this state, and this court cannot lend its aid in giving effect to such an agreement. The exception ought therefore in our opinion to have been sustained. It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the District Court be affirmed, with costs.

For general directories that we never asked to be listed on... is it a good idea to use the disavow tool for these types of links even if we haven't received any kind of penalty from Google?
The author of this article (http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2260344/Racing-Penguin-How-to-Attack-Unnatural-Links-Before-Penguin-Hits-Case-Study) seems to think so... assuming your efforts to remove the link fail.
I have heard a lot of people say otherwise, but I have never seen the disavow tool actually increase a site's rankings.
I may be wrong, but I personally think it is just a way for Google to get people to tell on link farms and blog networks.
I have no evidence to support this.
You worry too much I still use directory submission.
General or niche I still submit to them, I use a software to do it quickly and easily They're great free one way links, what's wrong with that?If we had to remove all links that aren't "natural" we'll spend all that at Google.com webmaster tools hehe
99.9% of cases you don't have to use that disallow tool, only if there's someone who hates you and start using black hat or doing nasty stuff u use that. Actually I suggest u don't visit matt's blog altogether
Can you please show me 1 website that is currently ranking in the top 3 of Google for ANY keyword, even the name of the site, using this strategy?
Why would anyone who wants to remain up-to-date on the future of SEO choose to completely ignore the public blog of the head of Google's Web Spam Team?
I hope everyone reading this thread is intelligent enough to understand why this is a foolish comment.
Google has said quite clearly many times: There is no point in using the Disavow Tool unless you have received an "unnatural links" message from Google. If you haven't, then using the tool won't do any harm, but it won't do any good either.
I am astounded at the amount of bad advice that is given to people asking about backlinks and the disavow tool.
I went to the BrightonSEO conference on Friday (The big one in the UK) and here is the message that was being put across time and time again:
Don't link build unless you are very careful to create only natural links that real people will actually follow. Google have already blacklisted 100's of high profile websites because of poor backlinking and the news in the underworld is they are going to crack down on directory farming and splogging next.
Using the Disavow tool can do you no harm, unless you disavow a popular link that people actually use. If the link doesn't generate any traffic, then the disavow tool will have no ill effects.
This is the most truthful piece of advice I've ever heard:"Links don't get you traffic. Good content gets you traffic, which in turn gets you links"I know that's not very helpful to someone just starting out, but it'll save you a lot of time in the long run just to concentrate on good unique content.
I thought it may give you an answer or at least interest you: How to Use Google's Disavow Links Tool the Right Way

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/10/2013 (1419 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — They'll be a younger team but they'd like to fix one small matter from last year's national women's Under-18 hockey championship.
"We went in there wanting to make history for Manitoba and we knew we could be the team to do that," said Team Manitoba forward Nicole Carswell, 17, about 2012's 2-1 gold-medal loss to Team Ontario-Blue. "When we lost, it was a pretty upsetting. But as rookies, we just had to get the mentality that next year, we'll hope to have a better result."
Team Manitoba has five returning players, including Carswell, today's roster unveiling showed.
The team is off to the nationals for another crack at that gold November 6-10 in Calgary.
Included on this year's squad are goalies Devan Johnson (Stonewall Collegiate) and Kristen Campbell (Shaftsbury Titans); defencemen Cecline Carone (Steinbach Regional), Mellisa Hunt (Westman Wildcats), Kate Friesen (Pembina Valley Hawks), Madison Patrick (St. Mary's Academy), Kati Tabin (Balmoral Hall), Kayla Mee (Shaftsbury) and Tess Bracken (Balmoral Hall); and forwards Lauryn Keen (Pembina Valley), Carswell (Winnipeg Avros), Christian Higham (St. Mary's), Stephanie Grossi (Shaftsbury), Sheridan Oswald (Central Plains Capitals), Courtlyn Oswald (Central Plains), Danielle Krzyszcyk (St. Mary's), Alanna Sharman (Avros), Meike Meilleur (St. Mary's), Saige Patrick (St. Mary's) and Randi Marcon (St. Mary's).
The team will be coached by Winnipeg Hawks male bantam coach Neil Chow.
Hockey Manitoba also announced its male Under-16 team today, to compete in the Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup in Calgary, Oct. 31-Nov. 3.
Head coach Doug Sinclair of the Winnipeg Thrashers will have on Team Manitoba goalies Brett Evans (Parkland Rangers) and Ryan Kubic (Thrashers); defencemen Connor Bowey (Winnipeg Monarchs), Brady Pouteau (Pembina Valley Hawks), Dean Stewart (Central Plains Capitals), Liam Schioler (Shattuck St. Mary's), Darby Gula (Eastman Selects) and Eric Lavoie (Winnipeg Sharks); and forwards Dylan Thiessen (Winnipeg Wild), Kevin Jackisch (Monarchs), Connor Barley (Thrashers), Vince Loschiavo (Thrashers), Tanner Kaspick (Brandon Wheat Kings), Linden McCorrister (Interlake Lightning), Jermaine Loewen (Lightning), Nathan Halvorsen (Wild), Ty Lewis (Wheat Kings), Dawson Martin (Wild), Brett Howden (Eastman Selects) and Nolan Patrick (Thrashers).

Wilson Allen Wallis (November 5, 1912 in Philadelphia – October 12, 1998 in Rochester, New York) was an American economist and statistician best known for serving as president of the University of Rochester.[1] The Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance is named after him and William Kruskal.
He attended the University of Minnesota, Class of 1932, where he was a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity. After a year of graduate work at the University of Minnesota, he began studies at the University of Chicago in 1933.
In 1936–37, he served as an economist and statistician for the National Resources Committee. During World War II, Wallis was the director of research of the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development's Statistical Research Group (1942–46); he recruited a team of bright young economists, including Milton Friedman, to the Statistical Research Group.
Wallis served as dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business]] from 1956 to 1962. During his time as dean he established the "Chicago Approach to Business Education," which involved the application of statistical methodology to business.[2]

England have taken a 2-1 lead in the five match series with a six wicket win in over the White Ferns at the County Ground in Derby.
The victory was set up by Jenny Gunn who took five for 31 to help restrict the White Ferns to 220 for nine and then guided her team to victory with an unbeaten 37 off 43 balls.
After losing the toss and batting first, White Ferns skipper Aimee Watkins top scored with 68 off 65 balls and then helped her team to a respectable total after they were struggling at 79 for five.
Opener Lucy Doolan made 34 at the top of the order before becoming Gunn's first victim with the English seamer going on to rip out five of the top six batsmen.
Sarah Taylor (64) and Heather Knight (42) got the reply off to a solid start with a 108 run opening stand.
The White Ferns fought back with four wickets for 32 runs to have England teetering at 140 for four but Lydia Greenway (45*) and Gunn steadied the innings with a match winning 83 run partnership.
Speaking after the match, coach, Gary Stead said: The series is very even - we just need to win some of the little battles within the match and we are still looking for the complete performance.
"We batted well at the start and end of the innings today but lost key wickets really close together which slowed us down as we had to rebuild the innings.
"We fought back well with our bowling after their openers had a good stand.
"All three matches have been very close so it about keeping the pressure on when we get into a good position."

Must Haves: 15 Floral Pieces You Can Wear Right Now
As someone who confines their wardrobe to the darker side of the spectrum (happily, might I add), I naturally shy away from solid brights or pastels. They clash and look kind of silly against my palette of black, grey, dark green, beige, and white, so I find that my monochromes are best brightened with a heady dose of — you guessed it — florals. Patterns add an unexpected touch to any desaturated ensemble, and florals in deeper shades strike the perfect balance between spring's paler, more saccharine versions and this season's all goth, all the time aesthetic. The best part? There's no reason you should have to wait until April (at least!) to show them off.

It's been confirmed that Michael Arndt will be writing the script for the first movie in the new Star Wars series, and now we have some interesting news about who may be working on the next two films. Reports are that Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg have both been approached by Disney to do the job.
This would be Kinberg's first outing with the franchise after writing X-Men and Sherlock Holmes movies, but Kasdan has a little Star Wars experience already. He worked on The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as well as Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yeah, those credentials are pretty impressive. It's still a rumor at this point, but it's a darn good one.

A phishing attack aimed at small businesses accounted for as much as a third of all global junk email–or more than a quarter of all e-mail–for a 15-minute period Friday, showing that the Zeus family of keystroke-logging software remains a force to be reckoned with despite a recent spate of arrests.
The attack took the form of e-mails that had subject headings beginning "Your Federal Tax Payment" and said an electronic transfer had been rejected because of an invalid corporate identification number. Following a recent trend in such scams, the e-mails contain links to a genuine web page, in this case a US site that collects tax payment information including bank account numbers. Read more

Marc Mariani is back with the Titans.
The returner/wide receiver, who's spent the past two seasons on injured reserve, agreed to terms on a one-year contract.
"I am truly excited and thankful to say that I will be back in TwoTone Blue next year in TitanNation!" Mariani posted on Twitter. "Can't wait to get back and get started!"
He'll be sure to face stiff competition to win the returner job, as the Titans have both Dexter McCluster and Leon Washington under contract as well.
Mariani played in 32 games during his first two seasons in the NFL with the Titans, earningPro Bowl honors as a kick returner as a rookie in 2010.
For his career, he has three return touchdowns (two punts, one kickoff) and registered an 11.2-yard punt return average and a 24.8-yard kickoff return average.
A seventh-round pick out of Montana in 2010, Mariani also posted five career receptions for 24 yards.

The 3rd season of Primal Grill aired here in the USA earlier this year and episodes are still being rerun. I'll watch more closely the next time it's on to be sure, but I believe the recipes used in the show are from Planet Barbecue.

310thBG,379thBS, Capt Heston C Daniel, Pilot (Doolittle Raider personnel)
Lt. Heston C Daniel, Pilot - passed away on July 18, 1998. after retirement from the USAF as a Lt Col. and 26 years of service. Information from his son Dennis. Heston was a Stand-By Lt PILOT.
From the 379th Bombardment Squadron War Diary: 21 May 1943 "Lt. McCormick of the 380th was hit by flak over the target and exploded in mid-air. The 379th was also very unfortunate, for Lt. G. C. Beachum's ship met a similar fate. Our new Sq. Commanding Officer, Capt. Heston C. Daniel, after having recently attained his ambition, was among those lost. Those observing the unfortunate incident say that the right wing was shot off and the ship spun to earth. Although three parachutes were seen to open, it is undetermined as to who was able to leave the doomed plane. Some think that two of the chutes might have been S/Sgts. Dalmaso and Gower, gunner and radio-man respectively, of Lt. J. D. Lindh's crew. These two men bailed out over the target evidently thinking their ship had been hit because of the violent evasive action their pilot had to employ. The entire personnel of the squadron grieve the loss of Lt. G.C. Beachum and his crew, also Capt. Heston C. Daniel's mis-fortune, for he was very well liked and respected."
We would later find out that some of BOTH Lost Crews lived and became POW's. Both Heston Daniel and Lt Graham C Beachum (USAF Lt Col Ret) survived.

Once you are ready to start your divorce or legal separation case for your marriage or domestic partnership, and know which county to file your case in, you are ready to start your court case. Click for a program that will help you make sure you are filing your case in the right county.
Keep in mind that there are many forms to fill out throughout the court process, and it can get very complicated, especially if you want to include support orders, child custody orders, and orders dividing your property. You may be able to get help with your case, or with portions of the case, from a lawyer or your court's family law facilitator or self-help center. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Fill Out Your Court Forms
To file for divorce or legal separation, you have to fill out the same forms. If you want specific legal advice about how to fill out your court forms, talk to a lawyer. What you write on your court papers can be very important and can affect the outcome of the case. It is very important to be accurate and complete, and a lawyer can help you figure out how to fill out the forms so that they accurately reflect your position. This is especially important if you think you and your spouse or domestic partner are likely to have disagreements about the issues that the court forms ask you about.
If you need more room on your petition to list your property and debts, use the following form:
If you have children under the age of 18 with your spouse or domestic partner, also fill out:
File Your Forms With the Court Clerk
Turn in your forms (the originals AND copies) to the court clerk. If there are no obvious errors, the clerk will take the original of each form and return the copies to you, stamped "Filed."
You will have to pay a filing fee. Find out how much your fee will be. Keep in mind you are filing your first papers, a petition (often called a "first appearance"). If you cannot afford the fee, you can ask for a fee waiver.
If you want the judge to make temporary orders for child or spousal support, bill payment, protection from domestic violence, or other issues, you must fill out and file other forms. Talk to your family law facilitator or self-help center to ask for help with temporary orders.
Serve Your First Set of Court Forms
The law says your spouse or domestic partner must be told that you have started the legal process for a divorce, legal separation, or annulment. To do this, you must "serve" your spouse or domestic partner with copies of all your court papers. The judge CANNOT make any orders or judgments in your divorce or legal separation case until your spouse or domestic partner has been properly "served."
Who can serve your papers?
What must be served?
How must the papers be served? File your proof of service After you serve
To "serve" your papers, you will have to find someone 18 or older (NOT you) to deliver a copy of your papers to your spouse or domestic partner. The "server" (the person delivering your papers to your spouse/domestic partner) can be a:
If you hire a process server or use the sheriff, try to give him or her a photo of your spouse or domestic partner and a list of times and places when it will be easy to find that person. Look for a process server close to where your spouse or domestic partner lives or works. Fees are often based on how far the server has to travel. So this will save you money.
Service is very important, so you must do it correctly. For more information about "service."
What needs to be served?
Your "server" will need to serve your spouse or domestic partner with:
How the papers must be served
The papers can be served in 1 of 2 ways:
IMPORTANT: If you need to serve a divorce, legal separation or annulment Summons and Petition on your ex-spouse or partner and you do not know where he or she is, there is a special process so you can move forward with your case. Click to find out how to serve a spouse by publication or posting when you do not know your spouse's or partner's whereabouts.
Serving the local child support agency
If you or your spouse or domestic partner gets money or other help from the government for a child of this relationship (or if you have a child support case pending with the local child support agency), you must also serve a copy of your filed forms on the child support agency's office in the county where the benefits are being paid. Find your local child support agency.
The child support agency can be served by mail. Use Proof of Service by Mail (Form FL-335). You cannot use this form to serve your spouse or domestic partner!
File your proof of service
Once you serve your spouse or domestic partner with copies of your papers, you must show the court that you completed this step. To do this, your "server" has to fill out a proof of service form telling the judge when and how he or she served the papers on your spouse/domestic partner.
Your server must:
You must then file your Proof of Service (and Notice and Acknowledgment of Receipt, if there is one) with the court clerk. Make a copy of these forms so that, after the clerk files and keeps the original, you will have a copy for yourself.
Important! Contact a lawyer if:
- You do not know where your spouse or domestic partner is;
- Your spouse or domestic partner is in the military, in jail, or does not live in California; or
- You are having a difficult time serving the forms.
In some local courts the family law facilitator or self-help center can help you with these problems. Click for help finding a lawyer.
IMPORTANT! You cannot legally end your marital status until at least 6 months after the case is filed and the respondent has been served with a copy of the summons and petition. AND the divorce will not become final on its own. One or both sides will have to file more papers before that happens. Make sure you follow all the necessary steps to make sure you finish your divorce.
You have filed your petition in your divorce or legal separation case. Now, you are ready to complete the financial disclosures needed to get divorced or legally separated. Keep in mind that you can provide your financial disclosures at the same time as your petition if you wish, but NO LATER than 60 days after filing your petition.
California law requires that you and your spouse or domestic partner give each other written information about what you own and what you owe, and about your income and expenses. To do this, there is a set of forms you have to fill out and exchange. This is called "disclosure."
The point of disclosure is to make sure that you and your spouse or domestic partner are aware of everything you each own and owe, separately and together, so you can divide your property and debts equally. It also gives you the financial information you need to make decisions about child and spousal or partner support.
You cannot get divorced if you do not exchange your disclosures. If you leave anything out of your paperwork, either by mistake or on purpose, your property division can be "set aside" or canceled. And your divorce case may be reopened. If the court finds out that you left anything out or lied on your disclosure forms on purpose, the court can order that any property you did not list goes to your former spouse or domestic partner. You can also be ordered to pay his or her attorney's fees and a fine.
The first disclosure you make is called the "preliminary declaration of disclosure." Sometimes, you also have to make a second, final disclosure. To give your preliminary or final declaration of disclosure to your spouse or domestic partner, you must have it served in person or by mail. This means that someone, NOT you, 18 or older delivers or mails the Declaration of Disclosure
You do NOT file the preliminary Declaration of Disclosure, or the final one if you need one, with the court. Instead, each of you has to serve a copy of all the completed forms on the other. You keep the original of your disclosure forms.
You DO need to file with the court a form called the Declaration Regarding Service of Declaration of Disclosure
Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure
You MUST make your preliminary declaration of disclosure within 60 days of filing your petition. Try to do it as soon as possible after you file your petition. By doing it sooner rather than later, you and your spouse or domestic partner will have the information you need to divide your property and debts and to try to reach an agreement on support.
If you want specific legal advice about how to fill out your disclosure documents, talk to a lawyer. The financial documents are very important, especially in cases where there is a lot of property or debt. And if you and your spouse or domestic partner are likely to have disagreements about these issues, what you write on your financial disclosure documents can affect the outcome of the case. It is very important to be accurate and complete, and a lawyer can help you figure out how to fill out the forms so that they accurately reflect your position. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Keep in mind that if anything changes or you have new information since you and your spouse/domestic partner exchanged your preliminary declarations of disclosure, you have to fill out and serve a new set of disclosure forms updating the other person about the new or changed information. You will also have to let the court know by filing another Declaration Regarding Service of Declaration of Disclosure (Form FL-141).
After Completing Step 4 - You are NOT done!!
After completing steps 1–4, your next step depends on whether your spouse or domestic partner responds to your petition and whether you have an agreement on the terms of your divorce.
Go to Completing Your Divorce or Legal Separation to find out what to do next.
If you have filed for divorce or legal separation and changed your mind, you may be able to cancel your case.

Sterling Marlin always expected the No. 3 to return to NASCAR.
Marlin, who is from Columbia, was involved in the crash in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt was killed while driving the No. 3 in the Daytona 500.
The number hasn't been run since, but it will be displayed today on rookie Austin Dillon's Chevrolet when he takes the pole in the Daytona 500. The race begins at 12:30 p.m. (WZTV-17).
Some feel it is too soon for the 3 to be back on the track. Others feel it should have been permanently retired.
Marlin has a different take.
He said he expected it to return when Dillon stepped up to the Sprint Cup Series. Dillon's grandfather, Richard Childress, who also drove the No. 3, owns the number and it was his decision to bring it back.
"Once I saw Richard's grandson start driving, I knew he was a pretty good driver, so I figured it would just be a matter of time before Richard would bring the 3 out for him," Marlin said.
Marlin said he doesn't have a problem with Dillon driving the No. 3.
"I think it's a tribute to Dale," he said. "I think that's fine."
Gil Martin from Nashville is Dillon's crew chief. He said most of the response the team has received to bringing the 3 back has been positive.
"Eighty to 85 percent of the people are extremely excited about bringing the number back and understand the full reasoning behind it," Martin said. "Not just the fact that it was Dale Earnhardt's number, but it was also Austin's grandfather's number, and that means a lot to him. But there's going to be a lot of people that are going to have us under a microscope, and every time we have an issue, they're going to compare Austin to Dale and how he's never going to live up to it."
Some will become more accepting of Dillon driving the No. 3, Martin said, as time goes by and they get used to seeing it back on the track. Any success Dillon experiences also would help.
"We'll be able to change over about 10 percent of those who aren't happy about it," Martin said. "There's going to be about 5 percent that we're never going to change over. Obviously, he's going to need to have some good finishes; we're going to need to win this Rookie of the Year. With the way the chase is laid out this year, I think we have as good of a shot as anybody of making it into it."
Former Tennessean sports writer Larry Woody, who is in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, said he does not believe Earnhardt would have had any problem seeing another driver with his number.
"I think he'd be all for it," Woody said. "Dale Earnhardt was not what you would call a real sentimental type of guy. He was not a touchy-feely guy. I think he'd be fine with little Austin running his car number."
Woody said he never considered the No. 3 being Earnhardt's exclusively.
"I'm so old the first No. 3 I saw racing in NASCAR was on Richard Childress' car back when he used to come in and race at the Nashville fairgrounds," Woody said. "Richard Childress was running the No. 3 back before anybody had heard of Dale Earnhardt."
Joe Williams, who has spent more than 30 years announcing races at Fairgrounds Speedway and the Nashville Superspeedway, said he sees both sides of the argument.
"There's not a right answer to it," Williams said. "From a business standpoint, the 3 belongs to Richard Childress; it was Richard's before Dale drove for him, and it's Richard's after Dale drove for him. From an emotional standpoint, it will be interesting to see the 3, especially on the pole at Daytona. I don't know if people are going to be ready for it."
Williams said he can imagine there being plenty of pressure on Dillon by running the No. 3.
"If Earnhardt had lived and retired, I think the only thing he would have said to the kid is, 'Don't embarrass me,' " Williams said.
Tony Formosa, who holds the lease at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, said he expected Earnhardt fans to be upset, but added that they shouldn't be.
"I don't think it's any disrespect to Dale Earnhardt in any shape, form or fashion," Formosa said. "Richard and Dale were the best of friends, and Richard wouldn't be doing this if he felt he was going against Dale's wishes."

Seven Wildcats Named to Academic All-Big 12 Team
Seven Wildcats Named to Academic All-Big 12 Team
Nov. 15, 2012
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Led by first-team members Weston Hiebert, Jared Loomis, Zach Nemechek and Curry Sexton, Kansas State had seven football players earn Academic All-Big 12 honors as the Big 12 Conference announced the teams on Thursday.
K-State, which has led the Big 12 in both football and all-sport graduation rate in four of the last five seasons, also had Collin Klein, Kyle Klein and Tyler Lockett earn second-team accolades.
It was the first-career honor for Hiebert (Agricultural Econmonics), while Loomis (Civil Engineering), Nemechek (Life Sciences) and Sexton (Marketing) picked up first-team honors for a second-straight season. Collin Klein (Finance) was named to the Academic All-Big 12 team for a fourth-straight year, while Kyle Klein (Industrial Engineering) and Lockett (Business Administration) were first-time honorees.
Since head coach Bill Snyder's return in 2009, Kansas State has seen a considerable increase in Academic All-Big 12 honorees as the Wildcats have produced 49 accolades in the last four seasons, including 31 first-team honors.
In addition, Collin Klein is one of 10 players on the 2012 roster who has already earned degrees from K-State. Those 10 players include four community-college transfers and two four-year transfers, while nine of the 10 have earned starting roles this season for the Wildcats. The other nine graduates are Javonta Boyd, Anthony Cantele, Ryan Doerr, Roman Fields, Chris Harper, Zach McFall, Jarard Milo, Justin Tuggle and Braden Wilson.
Nominated by each institution's director of student-athlete support services, the football academic all-league squad consisted of 82 first-team members combined with 49 on the second team. First-team members consist of those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA, and the second team are those who have a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.
To qualify, student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters and must have participated in 60 percent of their team's scheduled contests. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence. Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.
No. 1 Kansas State returns to action this Saturday with a 7 p.m., contest against Baylor at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas. The game will be shown nationally on ESPN, while fans can hear the contest on the K-State Sports Network, SIRIUS satellite radio channel 113 and XM channel 85.
