The Sydney Thunder's hopes of their first Big Bash League finals berth are over after a dismal showing at Spotless Stadium on Saturday night.
Melbourne Stars batsman and England discard Kevin Pietersen did the bulk of the damage for the Stars. His an unbeaten 67 from 42 balls served as another reminder why he would be a handy member of England's World Cup squad .
The Thunder came into the match against the Melbourne Stars needing a win to have any hope of snaring a semi-finals spot, however their batsmen failed to give their bowlers anything to defend.
The Thunder only managed 8-106 from their 20 overs, presenting no difficulties for the Stars, who cruised to victory with 33 balls to spare and eight wickets in hand.
"I'm playing as good as I have ever played," Pietersen said.
"In 2012 I probably had one of the best years of my career in terms of the way that I played and I feel that now I'm playing just as well. For the last 24 months, since New Zealand 2013 when I messed my knee up, I haven't been the same player.
"When I was playing the Ashes here last year, my knee was horrendous. I was getting jabbed, I was on the physio bed three times a day. It was just a horrendous place to be. But now, touch wood, my knee's OK and I'm able to enjoy myself."
The match wasn't without controversy, with Cameron White given out after a contentious catch on the boundary line by Josh Lalor.
However it didn't affect the result, with the win keeping the visitors' hopes of playing semi-final cricket alive, moving two points clear of cross-town rivals Melbourne Renegades in fourth position with one more match remaining in the regular season.
The Thunder made a slow start the last time they played at Spotless Stadium, and not much changed in their second outing at their make-shift home ground in front of a crowd of 12,896.
The pitch didn't play much better than it did against the Hurricanes a week ago, with players complaining about the lack of pace in the wicket.
Just like he did in his opening game against the Hurricanes, Englishman Jason Roy struggled to get going, dismissed for a golden duck by Michael Beer.
Daniel Hughes didn't fair much better, removed the next over for four off Jackson Bird to leave the Thunder reeling at 2-6 off two overs.
Matters worsened when marquee man Jacques Kallis got a little tickle on a lovely delivery from bird.
Andrew McDonald and Aiden Blizzard managed to steady the ship but were unable to lift the run rate.
The pair managed to put together 59 off the next 11 overs before McDonald was cleaned bowled by the spin of Beer.
Blizzard followed a couple of overs later when he holed out in the deep off the bowling of John Hastings for a well played 45 from 48 balls.
Despite a late cameo from Nathan Hauritz the Thunder were unable to hit the big shots, hitting just five boundaries in their innings.
Despite losing Luke Wright early, the Stars were never troubled with Pietersen and White (23 off 26) guiding the Stars to a comfortable victory on the road ahead of their final round match against Perth Scorchers on Wednesday.
Pietersen said he was "not fussed" about being exiled from the England set up.
"Believe me, I'm having the best time of my life," he said.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo University inducted eight new members into its Athletic Hall of Fame at ceremonies on Thursday eveing at the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
Inductees in the Class of 2017 included Lauren Hudson '09 (women's soccer), Matt Harkins '95 (men's soccer), Erin Brunt Kinberger '07 (softball), Michelle Nogueras '10 (volleyball), Asmir Pervan '07 (men's soccer), Jordan Prais '10 (men's basketball), John Semeraro '05 (men's golf), and Bob Sullivan (coach/administrator).
"I want to congratulate our eight outstanding Hall of Fame inductees for 2017. While they have many incredible and outstanding athletic accomplishments to their credit, when talking about them with former teammates, coaches and players, you hear much more about their leadership, character, dedication and commitment to excellence. They represent all that is great about Saint Leo, its mission, and values. They are picture perfect examples for our current student-athletes to emulate and model as they continue their journey at Saint Leo. These inductees helped Saint Leo athletics improve, grow, and prosper," said Francis X. Reidy, Saint Leo's director of athletics and chair of the Athletic Hall of Fame Committee, and 2008 inductee into the Saint Leo Athletic Hall of Fame.
"I am thrilled for each of them to have this great honor bestowed upon them, and thank them for all they have done for Saint Leo and continue to do as alumni," said Reidy.
Lauren Hudson '09 continues to set the standard among Saint Leo women's soccer keepers. An NSCAA Third Team All-American and four-time All-Sunshine State Conference honoree, she holds program career records for fewest goals allowed (67) and lowest goals against average (0.89), despite also holding records for most games (73) and minutes played (5,675). Hudson is second among career saves leaders with 294, and her 29 career shutouts lead all Saint Leo goalkeepers.
Matt Harkins '95 was a two-time All-Sunshine State Conference selection out of the back line as a sophomore and junior and served as team captain during his senior campaign. He charted five assists, four of which came during his junior season in 1993, and his 74 games played was a program record at the time of his graduation. He is best remembered for his leadership skills guiding the Lions through the passing of teammate Jason Kessler during the summer of his junior year.
Erin Brunt Kinberger '07 captured All-Sunshine State Conference honors all four seasons she wore the Green and Gold as the program's top catcher. She was the battery-mate for Saint Leo Hall of Fame pitcher Katie Heintz '06 during three of those seasons, including the 2006 season that saw Brunt pick up All-South Region honors. Brunt finished her career ranked fourth among career doubles leaders with 40. Known as a fiery competitor during her playing career, she now instills that drive into a new generation of Saint Leo softball players as the program's head coach.
Michelle Nogueras '10 was the catalyst that transformed Saint Leo volleyball from an also-ran into a perennial conference contender. The three-time AVCA All-American setter and four-time All-Sunshine State Conference selection still holds the program record with 5,373 assists, an average of 10.43 per set. She also ranks second among career digs leaders with 1,412, and third in career aces with 183. Before Nogueras' arrival, Saint Leo volleyball had never finished higher than third in the SSC; she guided the Lions to their first four NCAA tournament appearances and the program's first conference crown in 2009.
Asmir Pervan '07 tallied 44 goals and 15 assists for 103 points over his four seasons with Saint Leo men's soccer, finishing his career ranked third among all-time goals and points leaders. He earned NSCAA Second Team All-America honors in 2005 while leading the Lions to their first NCAA tournament appearance; he was also tabbed with Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year honors. During his junior season, Pervan led the country in points per game with 3.0 and ranked second in the nation in goals per game with 1.29.
Jordan Prais '10 finished his Saint Leo career with 1,820 points, the most of any men's basketball player to play all four years in Saint Leo's Division II era. He earned All-Sunshine State Conference all four seasons and was the conference's Freshman of the Year in 2007. He continues to hold Saint Leo's all-time records for rebounds (878), and free throws made (496), and is 10th among career blocks leaders with 67.
John Semeraro '05 was a dual-sport athlete for Saint Leo, playing men's soccer for three seasons and competing in men's golf for all four years. He was a three-time Saint Leo Male Athlete of the Year (2003, 2004, and 2005), and earned Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors in each of those three seasons. Semeraro's best post-season outing in men's golf came in 2005 when he finished tied for 17th overall at the Sunshine State Conference Men's Golf Championship. His greatest contributions as a student-athlete came from his leadership on campus; Semeraro's involvement with Saint Leo's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) eventually led to him becoming chair of the NCAA Division II SAAC in 2005. He was the recipient of an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship in 2005.
Bob Sullivan served as Saint Leo's first junior college baseball coach from 1961 to 1966 and became the first coach of a four-year program as Saint Leo transitioned to becoming a four-year institution in 1966. He also served as assistant men's basketball coach under Hall of Famer George Sullivan and was the first chair of the Physical Education department at Saint Leo. Described as a mainstay of Saint Leo Athletics during the institution's development as a two-year and later a four-year college, Sullivan laid the foundation for future growth in Saint Leo athletics.

May a girl think of a really good step by step flirting advice for me. Please
Most Helpful Girl
Flirting should be spontaneous and you don't need step by step advices at all. You have it all inside you but you're just nervous. Just think of something to relax you and you will be flirting in no time. Don't think too much or think about her reactions too much. I can't give advice because I'm not in your shoes and I need to see how she flirts back too.00|00|0

Factors for Designing Community Playgrounds at Parks
A park is often built for public use by a local community and to enhance the community. For this specific reason, park playground equipment is expected to withstand intense use over the span of several years without replacement. Park equipment includes playground equipment and site amenities, such as picnic tables. Combining amenities with playground equipment offers adults and children alike a place for enjoyment.
What will last?: A park must choose products based on need, reliability, durability, and price. Most often, this comes down to a recommendation. PlaygroundEquipment.com recommends any equipment on our site. However, some equipment is recommended over others. For instance, metal spring riders are less easily vandalized than plastic counterparts. A 5-inch top-rail is recommended on swings, opposed to a 3.5 or 2.375-inch diameter top-rail.
Separate Age Levels: A separation of age appropriate playground equipment is recommended so that parents understand the recommended ages. This is achieved through signage, fencing, and other means of separation and education. Designers of parks often overlook this. Without guidance, parents will not know what equipment is appropriate for whom. Lack of signage can result in misuse of equipment and the injuries that result.
National Safety Standards: Park playground equipment is built to meet or exceed commercial standards. Parks can choose from hundreds of items specifically designed for outdoor use in public areas. These items include swings, slides, climbers, structures, and more. Do not forget when planning your park playground to provide a budget for safety surfacing. For assistance in planning your park, contact a live support person at PlaygroundEquipment.com.

The Environmental Health Officer called at Nick's Bistro in February 2016 following a complaint from Beth Sutherland that a meal that she had eaten there had brought her out in a rash. The problem was caused when she had a hairdo at Audrey's and a stressed David Platt failed to carry out a patch test before using a new shampoo. Audrey overheard about Beth's problem and realised what the true cause was, making David confess to Nick Tilsley. Beth overheard the confession in a bistro and a row was in full progress when the officer arrived to carry out his inspection. Matters where explained to him but he told Nick that he was obliged to complete his inspection, even if the complaint had been retracted. The visit caused Nick to lose some customers on the spot.

Salamander Energy provides the following update on repairs at the Bualuang oil field. On 8th January the company announced that, due to damage incurred to the risers during bad weather, production from the Bualuang oil field had been temporarily shut in.
Since this date, a full inspection has been completed by divers and replacement riser sections and piping spool materials have been moved to location. Good progress is being made, but following the loss of several working days due to further bad weather, production is now expected to restart in early February.
Development drilling is not impacted by these events, and two new production wells have been drilled and completed since the field was shut-in. These new wells will enter production as operations resume, the net effect being to continue Bualuang's production expansion.

Suggestions at the Range
Can anyone suggest some good ideas for practice at the range with a AR. What do you guys practice at the range? How far, I start at 36 yards then 50 up to 100. Should I practice with my iron sights more than my scope?
I personally don't own an AR yet but for my firearms that aren't "range toys" I practice how I intend to use them. Tell us what you want to use it for and you'll get more detailed answers :). If it's a home defense gun, practice shouldering it and getting off 2-3 center mass hits at 10 yards or so. If you hunt with it, get paper targets of the animal and practice kill shots at the min and max range you'd hunt from. Practice with the scope if it's what you'll b looking at your target with. Many purposes for a firearm, you probably bought your AR with one n mind so train for it. If it's just a plinker, drop some 2 liter bottles and pizza boxes at random distances and have fun :)
If you want to use a scope, use the iron sights at 50 yards once
to familiarize yourself with them. Then stay with the scope.
Cuts down on ammo wasted sighting in the scope repeatedly.
Range toys?? Not sure what you mean by that I don't treat my guns as "toys".
Some optics don't work so well at close range or in low light conditions; maybe you could practice using the irons in those conditions, JIC.
Thanks I'm good with the iron sights up to 50 yards, need glasses beyond, 51 year old eyes don't help.
Do you intend to hunt, OP?
I don't have an AR and am by no means an expert, but I was always taught to learn to zero and shoot your irons first out to 100 yrds. Nothing feels better than grouping on irons at that distance. Also helpful when your scope breaks/fails/etc. The challenge is fun.
Most people with AR's (and similar guns) at the local range where I shoot practice seeing how far their empty brass will eject. It seems that the more intrusive they can be and the more people they can hit with their flinging empty brass, the better.
I have a 3x9 scope on mine. I like to shoot at 50 and 100 yards. Further than that, the glass is not good enough to see.
Sometimes I like to do a half mag dump. :D

News : Proposed Call Centre Would Create 300 Jobs
#contactcenterworld, @vxiglobal
Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, Jan 18, 2016 -- A call centre that handles the business of Fortune 500 companies is in the final stages of deciding whether it will open its first Canadian outlet in Victoriaville Mall.
The Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Commission's outreach efforts to 1,800 companies that could fill the empty call centre left empty since HGS closed in June has attracted the interest of Los Angeles-based XVI Global Solutions.
If XVI finds satisfaction in the local labour pool, it will employ around 300 people, most of which would work full time with benefits.
"The economic impact of that operation would be significant," said the commission's senior development officer Richard Pohler.
The company will be holding a two-day career fair at Victoriaville Mall where would-be employees can submit resumes. It's seeking candidates with experience in customer service, administration and management.
Pohler sees economic development benefits beyond the proposed 300 jobs and the employment diversification it would add to the city.
"The key thing with this type of an operation is that it brings completely new money into the community, in this case from American companies that would be getting the services out of Thunder Bay," he said.
"So it would be an injection of capital in to the local economy and all the money that would be brought into the community would be added to the economy as opposed to circulated funds."

INDEPENDENTS REPORT: Worker wrongs
Labor guru Chuck Coonradt says retailers should worry less about planograms and more about the work environment.
If we agree that people are the greatest asset of any business, why is it that most grocers tend to invest the least amount of money in those assets? When monthly or quarterly numbers aren't hit, we immediately start hacking away at those who make our stores a living, breathing reality: 200 hours from next week's cashier lineup, 40 hours from the bakery/deli, and 10 from produce -- and do we really need to schedule baggers before noon on weekdays? Those training classes we budgeted for next week? We'll have to get by without them.
That's exactly the wrong tactic. It's in challenging times such as battling a new competitor in town, or struggling to meet operating budgets, that we must rely on our people the most, says Chuck Coonradt, author and founder of the Park City, Utah-based firm Game of Work.
"It astonishes me," says Coonradt. "A storeowner will open a new supermarket and invest $4 million to $6 million on equipment and hardware, and scramble to hire 150 to 200 associates and pay them anywhere from $7.50 to $17 an hour, plus a 30 percent fringe base on top of the hourly wages. In addition, the owner will have dropped at least $50,000 on advertising and ad loss for the grand opening.
"At the same time, in the back of their minds they clearly understand that the most important relationship their associates will have on the job is with the person to whom they report. We know all of that," continues Coonradt, "yet, under those economics, we won't spend 50 cents on developing better leaders in our stores. I think that's bad math."
Such "bad math" inspired Coonradt to write his new book, "The Better People Leader."
"We have an almost frightening opportunity to drive better performance in our stores, if we would just invest in bringing to our store managers and department managers a set of skills that will allow them to create a better environment for the people we have working for us," he says. "Granted, we're going to be a 24/7 operation in most markets today. But we are duty bound to change the way people are treated when they work for us, or we'll be dealing with a painfully expensive scenario."
Coonradt is especially concerned that retail people management is a lost art. "Most of us are in this business today because of a person who provided mentoring, coaching, and inspiration," he notes. "I believe that our forefathers understood that people came first -- that it was the people who produced the numbers."
Now hundreds of family-owned supermarket operators face a common fear, of "not being able to keep their sons and daughters in the business -- and they're not keeping anyone else's kids either," he says. "This has never been, nor will it ever be, a business in which you can win by having a better planogram than the guy down the street. It's about creating an unparalleled experience not only for customers who shop at your stores, but also, and especially, for those who work in them."
Mentors needed
Also critical to the strength of an organization is its commitment to mentorship, but relationships can't be forced. "Mentors are chosen, not assigned," observes Coonradt.
The chosen mentor for him was Ferrell Lee Hunter, an executive v.p. at a company in Tennessee for which Coonradt worked. "Ferrell was just a 'hush puppy,'" remembers Coonradt. "In fact, he wore them every single day. One of the things I admired most about him was his cool head in hot situations. He dealt with egotistical, 'my way or the highway' people and had this incredible ability to get calmer the more agitated others became."
One day, as Coonradt tried to thank Ferrell, his mentor cut him short, saying, "You're giving me a lot of praise and gratitude for stuff I've already got. Don't give it back to me, give it away."
Thus, every day Coonradt strives to personally coach others as he himself was coached, and he encourages clients to do the same.
And the worst thing a manager can do is to talk about "labor" as if it were some monster, he adds. "That's crap. Those are people we're talking about. What we really need to be looking at is, how do we get those people to have such a good time working and winning in our stores that they're going to reflect that out to the customers?"

Charidad is a Friturtoons episode.
Luigi, Yoshi and Franklin want to hear a story, so Mario tells them the story of Charizard . . .
Years ago, Charizard, Gible and Snorunt lived on the Friturtown. Charizard was wise and kept the others in order, but Gible and Snorunt teased him until Charizard told them about Grovyle, a careless Pokemon who often collapsed until he was turned into a generator. Gible and Snorunt behaved after that, but then their line closed and they were brought by the Friturtown. Charizard was abandoned in a shed, and as the seasons passed it was covered in plants and earth. Charizard had fallen asleep and was blissfully unaware of this.
Yoshi complains that it wasn't a happy story, but Mario replies he'll finish it some other time.

It'd be just like me to meet God, and get into an argument with him.
I've liked this story ever since I heard Murphy of WellHeyProductions' narration of it, and since I got this new mic it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try my hand at narrating it. So this is my contribution for day 4 of the Spring Break Spooktacular 2014! It's not really a scary story but it's on the wiki so we're just gonna ignore that cuz this is what I got for today.
Hope y'all enjoy!
