Student Trips/Foreign Study
Two concepts drive HRHM student field trips. The first concept is that hospitality management is an applied science. Therefore, it is an important part of student learning to see firsthand how industry operates. The second concept is based on HRHM faculty contacts. Whether from faculty friendships during industry service, or from contacts made since starting the HRHM curriculum at SUU, many industry executives have been very kind to make presentations to students, and to conduct tours for students.
Upcoming Study Abroad
Information coming soon.
Student Pictures
The most frequent trips for HRHM students include destinations such as Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Park City. Properties we have toured/visited include: Station Casinos, Wynn, Stratosphere, Marriott's Grand Chateau, Hilton's Grand Vacation Club; Salt Palace, Marriott Salt Lake City Downtown, Grand America, Marriott Vacation Club International Reservation Center, DDRM (resort developer), St. Regis Deer Crest, Stein Eriksen Lodge, Zermatt Resort, Marriott's Summit Resort, and Aspen Grove.

COPS investigating the attempted theft of a £4,000 generator from a tool hire shop have released a CCTV video of the incident.
At about 12.30pm on Tuesday two men parked a white Ford Transit van in an alleyway behind Brandon Tool Hire in Writtle Road, Chelmsford.
They then tried to take a generator stored on a trolley to their vehicle but were spotted by a passer-by and promptly drove off without the device.
As police continue their investigations, officers have uploaded surveillance camera video of the attempted theft taking place.
Still images of the two suspects have also been released.
A warning has also been put out by officers advising shops not to leave goods lying around unguarded.
Pc Rob Bentley said: "We want to warn other firms in the area, particularly tool hire shops, to be vigilant about security in yards that can be accessed by the public."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Pc Bentley at the Chelmsford Neighbourhood Crime Team on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

It's almost as if meditation "brainwashes" you to become happy because you throw your talents away. What does that accomplish?
Hi, I've been trying to figure out the same thing lately, suffice to say, it's not easy being a buddhist in entertainment industry. So far, the most important thing seems to be to figure out what is ambition - what mental factors are involved, how does it arise and what drives it – what kind of intention is behind it. In general terms – every action (mental, bodily or verbal) can be driven by intention that's either unwholesome (rooted in greed, aversion and delusion), or wholesome (rooted in non-greed (generosity), non-aversion (kindness) and non-delusion (wisdom)).
In practical terms, this goes down to being aware of the intention in the present moment. Regardless of what's the outward action at present – turning the camera on, rewriting a sentence in the script, preparing lunch for the crew, etc – the question is whether that current action is performed on the back of unwholesome or wholesome intention. That is, each action can be performed in either of these two ways - if based on an unwholesome intention at the moment, then I'm using my talents at that moment to my own detriment as well as to detriment of others. If however that same action is based on a wholesome intention, then at that moment I'm using my talents for benefit of others and myself.
So, it's not that complicated after all, but it takes time and practice to be able to figure out whether the intention at present is actually wholesome or not (and in most cases it turns out to be unwholesome). Besides, in a single day, there will be countless moments and actions, and intentions behind them will keep changing from unwholesome, to wholesome, back to unwholesome, etc. So, that's probably why mindfulness and watchfulness are advised so often.
Anyway, in the end, the question whether becoming a great filmmaker (or some other occupation) is right or wrong seems a bit pointless because being a filmmaker in practice consists of many small actions performed every day – and each of these has an intention behind it, and it's the intention that will bring good or bad results in the end.
Ashitaka,AN 8.54 Thus have I heard. Once the Exalted One was dwelling amongst the Koliyans, in their market town named Kakkarapatta. Then Dighajanu, a Koliyan, approached the Exalted One, respectfully saluted Him and sat on one side. Thus seated, he addressed the Exalted One as follows:
"We, Lord, are laymen who enjoy worldly pleasure. We lead a life encumbered by wife and children. We use sandalwood of Kasi. We deck ourselves with garlands, perfume and unguents. We use gold and silver. To those like us, O Lord, let the Exalted One preach the Dhamma, teach those things that lead to weal and happiness in this life and to weal and happiness in future life."
Conditions of Worldly Progress
"Four conditions, Vyagghapajja, conduce to a householder's weal and happiness in this very life. Which four?
"The accomplishment of persistent effort (utthana-sampada), the accomplishment of watchfulness (arakkha-sampada), good friendship (kalyanamittata) and balanced livelihood (sama-jivikata).
"What is the accomplishment of persistent effort?
"Herein, Vyagghapajja, by whatsoever activity a householder earns his living, whether by farming, by trading, by rearing cattle, by archery, by service under the king, or by any other kind of craft — at that he becomes skillful and is not lazy. He is endowed with the power of discernment as to the proper ways and means; he is able to carry out and allocate (duties). This is called the accomplishment of persistent effort.

At least one member of the Monterey City Council would like to see the city's conference center named after Monterey native son and Washington, D.C., power player Leon Panetta.
Councilwoman Libby Downey said late Tuesday that she wanted the subject of renaming the Monterey Conference Center after Panetta scheduled for discussion on a future agenda.
Panetta, the outgoing secretary of defense, has been CIA director, budget director, White House chief of staff and a longtime congressman representing the Central Coast during his long career in national politics.
The council didn't comment on Downey's suggestion, other than Mayor Chuck Della Sala asking whether she meant a room in the conference center or the entire complex.
The whole thing, Downey said.
Della Sala wondered if the city has any policies that may prevent naming public buildings after people while they are still alive.
The answer to that question wasn't immediately available, but City Clerk Bonnie Gawf said any policies covering the matter would be provided to the council when it considers whether to move ahead with the suggestion.
The conference center at One Portola Plaza opened in April 1977 as a centerpiece of the city's downtown renewal program. The city is looking at major renovations to the complex to keep it competitive in the conference market.

Fairfax County Releases 2008 Youth Survey
Nov. 14, 2008
News Highlights
- Fourth year for youth survey; more than 22,000 students included.
- Monitors behavior trends and changes that influence health and well-being of county's youth; new areas incorporated this year.
- 2008 survey report available online.
More Information
The results of the 2008 Fairfax County Youth Survey were presented today at a joint meeting of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the Fairfax County School Board. The survey is a collaborative effort of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Fairfax County Public Schools, Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board and Fairfax Partnership for Youth. The anonymous, voluntary survey was administered in February 2008 to 22,251 randomly selected Fairfax County students in sixth, eighth, 10th and 12th grades. The survey looked at behaviors, experiences and other factors that influence the health and well-being of the county's youth.
"This latest snapshot of our young people provides positive evidence of progress in our community," said Gerald E. Connolly, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. "Drug use is down, alcohol consumption has lessened, progress in gang prevention and intervention continues. At the same time, however, we must remain vigilant about some troubling signs with teen depression, suicide and risky sexual behavior. Investing in our young people is the single most important investment we can make as a community."
This is the fourth time that Fairfax County youth have taken part in a survey of this type, which helps to monitor behavior trends and changes and provides crucial information to help prioritize the focus for prevention efforts throughout the community. This year's survey is the most comprehensive to date. It incorporated questions in several new areas, including physical activity, nutrition, weight and weight loss behaviors, sexual health, and dating violence. The survey is designed to provide information about youth behaviors – positive as well as harmful — and is particularly useful to parents, community leaders, PTAs, school-community coalitions, faith-based organizations and others interested in the safety and well being of the county's young people.
The 2008 survey identified a number of encouraging outcomes, including:
- Almost all Fairfax County youth surveyed report that there are lots of opportunities to get involved in positive activities in and outside of school. The number of youth who speak Spanish at home who report actual participation in extracurricular activities has increased by 21 percentage points since the last survey and by 24 percentage points for youth who speak other languages at home. Availability of and participation in positive activities outside of school has been shown to be important in preventing unhealthy behaviors.
- More than two-thirds of Fairfax County youth had not used any drugs or alcohol in the previous 30 days, which continues the downward trend for substance use (alcohol, marijuana, binge drinking and cigarettes) since 2001.
- Nearly a quarter of Fairfax County youth are physically active for at least 60 minutes every day.
- Nearly three-quarters of youth have not had sexual intercourse. Of the students who are sexually active, the majority report using condoms and other forms of contraception.
The survey also pointed out the importance of staying connected with youth:
- Despite declines, depression still impacts a significant number of youth.
- Higher percentage of sexually active Fairfax County youth report having four or more partners than their peers nationally.
- Fairfax County youth spend more time on non-academic electronic activities than their peers nationally and about the same amount of time watching television.
- Although dating violence (physical abuse, forced to have sex) numbers are well below the national average, it warrants further attention.
- Gang involvement remains low; 96 percent reported that they have never been in a gang. However, those who were involved with a gang were more likely to have been depressed or considered suicide; report similar but exaggerated drugs use patterns; were 2.5 times more likely to have had sex; and were more likely to be abused by an intimate partner or forced to have sex.
- Sixty percent of the females surveyed are trying to lose weight. In the past 30 days, 10 percent of all the youth surveyed had reported at least one of the following behaviors: gone 24-plus hours without eating to lose weight/keep from gaining weight; vomited or taken laxatives; and taken diet pills, powders or liquids without a doctor's orders.
Overall, the survey provides Fairfax County with a barometer of the effectiveness of the community in fostering healthy choices in youth and assisting in the development of prevention and other strategies. The survey data provides a motivating force for parent and community action around the opportunities and challenges identified. The survey results will be used to guide the development and modification of programs and services sponsored by the county, the schools and throughout the Fairfax community. Beyond the formal uses of the survey data, the coalition of partners involved in the survey plan an extensive set of communication and education efforts to make survey information accessible and useful for parents, young people, school and community leaders and others interested in promoting safe and healthy behaviors in youth.
The 2008 Youth Survey Report, along with the reports from 2001, 2003 and 2005, is available online.
As with prior surveys, parents of the students selected to participate in the 2008 survey were informed of the content and given an opportunity to preview the questions and sign an "opt-out" form to exclude their student from participating in the survey.

What WSJ Canada Is Reading Thursday
By Karen Johnson
From Bieber to dinosaurs, a look at a few of the stories we're reading Thursday.
New assets on the block. A stake in Ivanhoe Australia is up for sale, as Rio Tinto PLC accelerates a plan to sell billions of dollars in non-core assets despite a slowdown in commodities that could lower the price tags on the deals.
The dynamic development of dinosaurs. A cache of fossil dinosaur embryos discovered in China reveals that these extinct behemoths grew faster in the egg than any animal known. A University of Toronto paleontologist led the team of experts.
Bieber's new gig. Justin Bieber is talking about money management and his modest Canadian upbringing in new videos for a company that offer prepaid debit card for teenagers.
An online homage? The social-media strategy Justin Trudeau is using in his bid for Canada's Liberal leadership race looks a lot like Barack Obama's.

Today my heart aches and breaks. My beloved cat Zoe passed away this morning. Since the internet is run by cats and Zoe was my best friend I thought it appropriate I honor his sweetness here. The dark blue photo was a regular occurrence when there was a full moon. Zoe would end up on my chest around 3:00AM looking out the window purring. Goodbye Z!

It was only a month-and-a-half ago that the league reached its deadline for giving fourth-year players extensions on their rookie contracts, a gamble that took an especially uncertain turn with this crop because their development was interrupted by the league's lockout last year.
Still, seven players were given extensions, and in some cases, those contracts already look like they will pay off handsomely. In other cases, though, there may be some buyer's remorse.
Max questions
Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers had little choice, of course, but to sign Griffin to a maximum five-year deal that will be worth $100 million if he is an All-Star or is voted an All-NBA player. That's big money, of course, and it is somewhat worrisome to see Griffin average 18.0 points and 9.1 rebounds, both career lows. But some of that can be attributed to the fact that the Clippers are a much better team and don't need to rely on Griffin—though his numbers are down, he actually has improved tremendously with his jumper and his defense, two areas of concern.
James Harden, Houston Rockets. It was a shocker when the Rockets acquired Harden via trade just before the season, and Houston quickly gave Harden the max contract (five years, $80 million) that Oklahoma City couldn't. Harden has produced—24.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists—but he also has slumped to 42.9 percent shooting and 34.5 percent from the 3-point line. He obviously is a star, but it remains to be seen whether he has the staying power to be elite for 82 games.
Looking like a steal
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors. Curry got four years and $44 million, and that caused some consternation among Warriors fans who watched Curry struggle with ankle issues last year and have yet to see him play serious defense. Health will always be a concern for Curry given his slight build, but when he is 100 percent, he is a marquee scorer, averaging 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists, shooting 43.3 percent from the 3-point line. The more the Warriors win, the more Curry's deal is justified.
Jrue Holiday, Philadelphia Sixers. Holiday got a notch below Curry (four years, $41 million) but could prove to be the better player. The Sixers cleared out veterans Andre Iguodala and Lou Williams in order to let Holiday shine more, and it has worked—Holiday is averaging 18.0 points and 8.9 assists, and if he is able to reduce his turnovers and develop a finer touch with his passes, he will be an ideal point guard, able to beat defenses with scoring and playmaking. He is only 22 years old, so he is still developing.
DeMar DeRozan, Toronto Raptors. OK, DeRozan is not exactly a steal, not at four years, $38 million, with the possibility of slightly more. But he is only 23 and has shown steady improvement, averaging 18.5 points and 5.0 rebounds, both career highs. He also has gotten better defensively, one of the big worries about his game, and compared to deals given to Jeff Green (four years, $36 million) and Gerald Wallace (four years, $40 million), this could wind up being a good contract.
On second thought
Taj Gibson, Chicago Bulls. Four years and $38 million seemed a little hefty for Gibson, an excellent defender who hasn't done much offensively. Problem is, he has done even less offensively since signing the deal, averaging 5.9 points on 41.7 percent shooting, both career lows. He is averaging 5.9 rebounds, also a career low.
Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have gotten off to a disappointing start, and Lawson has been at the forefront of that. He set the market when it came to extensions for the point guards in this group, getting a four-year, $48 million deal, but hasn't justified it out of the gate. He is averaging 14.2 points and 7.0 assists, but has slumped with his shooting, making 41.6 percent from the field and 34.4 percent from the 3-point line, both career lows.

As a new report shows growing numbers of young adults are straining their eyes as they stare at screens all day, opticians warn that more people need to get their eyes checked to avoid long-term vision problems.
By Lisa Salmon
Growing up, most of us heard the words, 'You'll get square eyes', as we gazed a tad too keenly at the TV screen.
The warning may have been a little exaggerated, but it's not entirely unfounded. Spending hours staring at a screen won't give your eyes 90-degree angles, but it will put you at risk of eye strain, which experts warn is becoming more and more of a problem.
Looking at screens is now as much a part of modern life as driving a car or eating a ready meal - if not more so. Millions of office workers spend upwards of seven hours a day in front of a computer, and laptops and mobile phones have also increased screen use.
Steve Schallhorn, ophthalmic surgeon and chairman of Optical Express's International Medical Advisory Board, says: "Our dependence on and use of screen-based devices is set to increase even further with technological advances, and there's no doubt that daily and prolonged use of screens can have a detrimental impact on eyesight."
Schallhorn says the 'Net Generation' are the most at risk, pointing out that 63% of 18 to 24-year-olds recently surveyed admitted that they check their smartphone every 30 minutes, and often watch TV while simultaneously using a laptop, tablet, smartphone or computer.
It's not just teens who are guilty of multi-screening; 30% of UK adults who wear prescription glasses or contact lenses regularly do the same. And our screen habits are taking their toll on our eye health.
According to Optical Express, more than one in four adults (26%), 22% of 25 to 34-year-olds, and 17% of 18 to 24-year-olds, have visited an optician because their eyes felt tired from using a PC or watching TV or other screens.
If you use a computer regularly, chances are you've experienced eye strain. Common signs include red, bloodshot eyes, tired eyes and difficulty focusing, as well as headaches and soreness around the eyes.
Excessive screen use can also worsen dry eye problems which, in the worst cases, can even lead to scratches on the cornea and damaged vision.
While screen strain alone won't cause blindness, it is a real eye health issue.
Mr Bobby Qureshi, a consultant eye surgeon at The London Eye Hospital, says: "Strain from staring at a computer all day won't cause permanent damage but it will give you a bad headache.
"As well as straining, people blink around 25% less when they're looking at a screen, which worsens the effect."
Blinking is vital for keeping eyes moist, which is why people often end up with dry, gritty eyes after a long day at their desk.
Straining can also worsen symptoms of existing sight problems or weaknesses, as the muscles in and around the eyes are forced to overwork for prolonged periods, causing them to become fatigued.
This is particularly an issue for people who have one eye which is weaker than the other, or are short-sighted in one and long-sighted in the other.
Optomtetrist Dr Rob Hogan, a treasurer of The College of Optometrists, points out: "It's very rare to come across someone who has exactly the same focusing mechanism in each eye, but an imbalance can lead to headaches and eye strain, where people peer or screw their eyes up and may get aches around the eye."
Follow these tips for avoiding the strain...
:: Get tested
Research by The College of Optometrists found that 86% of people value their eyesight above any other sense. Yet, around five million Britons either can't remember when they last visited an optometrist, or believe it's been more than 10 years since their last test.
The College of Optometrists recommends that adults have an eye test every two years unless advised otherwise, and children and the over 65s should be tested annually.
A test will pick up defects including short and long-sightedness and the need for reading glasses. Correcting these problems will mean you are able to focus more easily, thus reducing your likelihood of eye strain.
Eye tests are also important for detecting more serious sight and health issues, such as glaucoma, cataracts (the leading cause of blindness) and even high blood pressure and diabetes.
:: Have a break
If you must spend a lot of time in front of a screen, make sure you take regular breaks. Leave your desk and go for a walk if you can - even if just to the kitchen - to allow your eyes to focus on distant objects and let the muscles relax.
When this isn't possible, Hogan also recommends that screen users follow the 20-20-20 rule: after 20 minutes of screen usage you look should look at something about 20ft away for 20 seconds, before resuming screen use.
At home, avoid the temptation of using a laptop and mobile while watching TV simultaneously, as this will force focusing mechanisms into overdrive.
:: Moisten up
Dry eyes can be extremely uncomfortable, and if left untreated may cause ongoing soreness and even damage to the delicate cornea in extreme cases.
The 20-20-20 rule and regular screen breaks will also help prevent dry eyes, as these periods away from the screen will encourage more blinking.
It's easy to fall into the habit of staring at a computer screen and losing track of time and forgetting to blink - even when discomfort kicks in!
If you feel your eyes becoming gritty and dry, ensure you take a break, allow your eyes to rest and remind yourself to blink, and try not to rub your eyes.
If dryness continues to be a problem, speak to an optician or optomestrist for advice. Drops may help keep eyes moist.

For long tours and fast trail rides
Price from
Taking turns playfully, enduring every climb - the SPINE is your key. More agile than your long-distance bike, and livelier than an all-mountain, it seduces you with its mix of breath-taking performance, smooth handling and irresistible looks. This will be love at first pedal stroke. Full gas across every terrain, from all-day epics to a quick spin after work, our SPINE will form the backbone of all your trail rides.
The largest European magazine "Bike" gave the FOCUS SPINE SL a value-for-money award along with a "Very Good" rating in its trail bike test*. Even before riding the bike, the testers were clearly enthusiastic about the FOCUS SPINE's design: "Focus was absolutely spot on with the design of this carbon main frame." But the SPINE SL cuts an extremely fine figure on the trail too: "Its characteristic curves look every bit as comfortable as its chassis feels." Read more
Dutch Bike & Trekking magazine tested four Allround bikes against each other. Our Focus Spine Factory won against the Cannondale Habit Carbon 27.5", Canyon Nerve AL 9.0 LTD 29" and the Specialized Camber Elite Carbon 29". "It's quite a funny phenomenon, when a bike looks good, it quite often is a good bike, and that especially counts for the Focus Spine." Read more
The FOCUS SPINE Factory is the winner of the grand trail bike test of Enduro Mountainbike Magazine. The German specialist magazine put nine trail bikes to the test, the SPINE wins. But it's not just the overall victory, the SPINE Factory also has been awarded best value for money. The testers loved the lively and smooth mix, the super rear end and the top spec. Read more
You can go off on very long rides with the SPINE. The SPINE is a full-suspension trail and touring bike with 120 mm suspension travel. Trail paths can be taken with ease and agility.
120 mm of travel does not necessarily mean a slow ride. Our geometry has been designed with speed in mind, meaning you'll continually ride better, further and faster.
Tailored to meet the demands of your ride and your trails, the SPINE nails the ultimate level of playfulness.
Two bottle cages, internally routed cables and a carbon rocker arm – the SPINE is irrefutably the most eye-catching and yet most practical bike on the trail.
The tapered head tube increases the headset stiffness while also reducing the steering weight.
The cables and hydraulic lines are routed inside the frame for protection, creating a neat look and extending the service life of the lines for perfect gear shifting and braking at all times.
Butted aluminium tubes are designed so that the walls are thicker at areas under more stress, with a constant external diameter. FOCUS aluminium tubes are triple-butted. This reduces the weight without impacting on the stability.
Pressfit 30 combines the benefits of the BB30 and Pressfit bottom brackets. Pressfit 30 features a preassembled seal in the cups to further prolong the bearing life.
To ensure that all bike sizes offer the same level of quality, all frame sizes on offer are designed individually. This Stable Stiffness Per Size (SSPS) production method ensures that all sizes provide the perfect ratio of weight to stiffness.
Thanks to ongoing checks and the use of the latest manufacturing methods, we can offer the very best carbon quality with a long service life. For this reason, we can offer a 6-year manufacturer's warranty on all FOCUS carbon frames and forks.
The rear triangle linkage is made completely out of carbon, ensuring the perfect ratio of stiffness to weight.
The DONNA line focuses on the female rider. We've considered the essential differences that exist. Those points of contact with the bike are decisive. That's why we fitted female-specific bars and saddles, so that you'll feel great on the bike, whatever you ride. Your preferences. Your colourways. Your bike. This is where you come first.
The FOCUS SPINE Factory has been awarded as best value for money and is the winner of the grand trail bike test by Enduro Mountainbike Magazine.READ THE STORY

Cakes, chocolate bar, candy bars and various beverages have milk as part of their ingredients too.
How can we totally abstain from taking them?
It's not really all that difficult if you have access to good markets or natural foods stores, etc. Some have non-dairy cakes, etc. Homemade non dairy cake is quite easy. A lot of dark chocolate brands don't have dairy in them. They even have non dairy soy and coconut milk ice cream these days. Most natural foods stores carry a host of non dairy things and depending on where you live, even normal supermarkets will have some of that stuff.

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Kids
Baby teeth with adult teeth
I saw the other posting about baby teeth. My 7 year old son is experiencing the same ordeal. His two bottom front baby teeth are still in and one adult tooth is practically in (slightly crooked and parallel to the baby tooth in front of it) and the other permanent tooth is surfacing (breaking through the gum). I have been to the dentist 2 times already and was told it is not uncommon and was told it may be a few months before the tooth falls out. The tooth is "loose" but no where near ready to "fall" out. Should it be pulled or ride it out. You can definitely see that he has an "extra" tooth there when he talks. I am worried and the permanent tooth is very visible. I have never seen kids his age with two teeth (one in front of the other).
As your dentist has explained, the eruption of permanent lower incisors on the "tongue side" of the baby teeth is quite common. It does no harm to remove those baby teeth so the permanent teeth will move forward, but it is rarely necessary as they will move up when the baby teeth fall out naturally. Most dentists don't want to put a child through the process of extracting a couple of teeth if there is no evidence that the procedure is indicated.

Latest Updates and Photos
Over the years, members of our community have frequently spoken about how retreat accommodation privacy better supports deeper practice and a sense of refuge. In response, a major building project is nearing completion at our Retreat Center.
Just after Labor Day 2012, crews arrived to begin work. In mid-June 2013, the new dormitory was completed along with a connector linking it to the Annex and Catskills accommodations. After the new dormitory opened, we closed the Catskills dormitory in order to convert all of its rooms into singles.
Now with the new dormitory open, every IMS retreatant is able to stay in a single room. Find out more about our vision and plans.
September 2013 – On Wednesday, September 11, IMS held a ceremony to honor the construction project's completion
Over 140 retreatants, teachers, staff, friends and supporters were welcomed by Executive Director Linda Spink.
The date of the ceremony coincided with the first full day of this year's Three-Month Retreat. For the first time in IMS's history, approximately a third of the course participants are people of color.
Rosemary Blake, IMS's Board President, spoke movingly about the joy on seeing the special diversity of this year's Three-Month Retreat. She thanked everyone whose efforts are now bearing fruit, from those who first seeded the idea for a group of people of color to sit this course, to friends and supporters who made it financially possible for so many retreatants of color to undertake longer-term practice.

August 2013 – The Catskills dormitory has seen many changes over the last month. The rooms have been framed, painted, and the hardwood flooring is being laid. We are still on track for the 1st and 2nd floor to be ready for the opening of the Three-Month Retreat in September.
On the first floor, a bathtub has been installed to help ease achey joints.
A renovated room with new hardwood flooring.
A crane hoists bundles of plywood and shingles for the new Catskills roof.
The bridge that formerly connected the Catskills and Annex dormitories has been taken down – access is now through the connector.
July 2013 – The new dormitory is now open, and some participants in each of the last few retreats have been housed there. They've given enthusiastic feedback, letting us know they find it a comfortable, beautiful and supportive environment for time on retreat. The Catskills dormitory now closed as extensive renovations are underway.
A single room in the new dormitory – all accommodations are now singles!
On the first floor of the Catskills dormitory, the bedrooms on the east side are being modified to be accessible for individuals with mobility concerns.
Before and after: the linen closet on the second floor has been removed, revealing a hidden window. This space will soon become a dorm room.
The bridge that formerly connected the Catskills and Annex dormitories will soon come down. The crews have boarded up the end that used to connect to the Annex in preparation.
June 2013 – We are quickly approaching the opening of the new dormitory! All finishing touches are in place. Over the next week, beds will be moved into the new rooms in time for this year's People of Color Retreat, which starts June 15.
The new dormitory stands ready for its first occupants. The surrounding grounds will soon be seeded and landscaped.
The informal sitting area now has a hardwood floor – and a beautiful view of the IMS grounds.
Timber from trees removed from the site in preparation for construction have been transformed into common space window sills, half-wall caps and stair treads throughout the connector and dorm.
These rocks will become part of the landscaping in front of the connector.
May 2013 – Many finishing touches to the exterior and the interior of the new dormitory are in place. Over the next few weeks, the construction crew will continue to paint the exterior, install staircases and move furniture into place.
Here's the new dormitory after its first coat of paint.
Over the last few weeks, the construction crew has been at work on replacing the retaining wall that runs along parallel to the Catskills. After the concrete was poured, earth was poured back into place.
The stone masons have built a well-crafted stone wall and set of granite steps between the new dormitory and the Annex porch (out of sight on left).
In the new dormitory, flooring and furniture have been installed in most rooms. This view shows the wardrobe on the left and the sink and closet on the right. The bed will be placed on the left.
April 2013 – Both the exterior and the interior of the new dormitory and connector continue to move closer to completion. All rooms and hallways have a first coat of paint. On the outside, the crew are almost finished installing the clapboards. In addition, lighting fixtures and fire-safe exterior doors are starting to be put into place.
A mini-roof supported by chains protects this exterior door on the east side of the connector.
In the interior of the connector, the first coat of paint is done, and next comes the flooring. A heating element can be seen on the right.
The concrete-compound clapboards are currently being installed on the new dormitory. Later, the grey will be painted a Georgian-Red.
Here's the latest view from the top of the stairtower overlooking the new dormitory.
March 2013 – To prepare for the installation of clapboard siding, strapping has been nailed to the exterior walls of the new dormitory. In addition, cedar sills, mahoghany side casings and pine top casings are now in place around the windows. The building passed an airtightness test with flying colors – even before sheetrocking and plastering had been completed. This is good news for energy efficency!
Prep for clapboarding nears completion.
The rooms in the new dormitory have been completely drywalled and are beginning to be painted. IMS Facilities staff have been assisting the construction crew by cleaning surfaces of dust in preparation for painting.

This view is from the top of the stair tower that will connect all three floors of the soon-to-be renovated Catskills dormitory. The new dormitory is visible through the window.

February 2013 – To document the exterior work to date, we've put together a short timelapse video covering September 2012 through January 2013. Watch the building take shape before your eyes!
At this point, exterior work is on hold through the rest of the winter. In spring when the weather is warm enough, the siding for the new dormitory, connector and Catskills stair tower will be added.
This recent panorama shows much of the exterior work completed, including a covered entry (bottom R) for the connector. The black coating applied to all outside walls stops air and moisture from penetrating the building envelope, resulting in greater heat efficiency and dampness prevention.
Over the last month, the interior of the new dormitory has seen many developments. Most of the framing for individual rooms has now been completed, and the soundproofing and drywall processes have begun. Electrical work has continued, and various crews have been installing plumbing, heating and ventilation systems for both floors. A sprinkler system and some bathroom fixtures have also been put in place.
The framing for most of the rooms is complete.
Soundproofing and drywall processes are underway.
On the second floor, there will be a small lounge overlooking the grounds.
January 2013 – The exterior of the new Retreat Center dormitory is closer to completion! By the the start of 2013, the construction crew had begun installing windows and are soon to work on the interior framing.
The windows were delivered and stored temporarily in the first floor of the building for protection from the elements.
The first floor windows were installed at the beginning of January.
This view shows the interior of the second floor with many windows now in place.
December 2012 – Over the last month, the new Retreat Center dormitory went through dramatic changes. The framing of the second floor was completed, and when the roof trusses were set in place, the overall dimensions of the building became clear.
Trusses are lifted into position, creating the support work for the roof of the new dormitory.
In accordance with an old builders' tradition, after the basic structure of the roof was completed, a small spruce was positioned at the peak to mark this significant point in the building's progress.
This view of the new dormitory was taken from the roof of the Retreat Center meditation hall.

November 2012 – Construction proceeds apace! In recent weeks, foundations for the new dormitory were put in and insulated, utility lines were installed, and sheathing put up for the connector and Catskills stair tower. By mid-November, framing for the new dormitory was underway and walls were going up.

This perspective shows how the new dormitory (L) and connector are situated in relation to existing Retreat Center accommodations.
October 2012 – The work on the new dormitory and the adjoining connector progresses steadily.
In the area behind the Catskills, the ground level was raised to provide smooth access to the Annex and the connector, and a sidewalk installed. The newly seeded topsoil greened up quickly.
In September, this is how the area at the end of the Catskills looked as the work got underway.
Just a few weeks later, the under-structure of the connector that will join the three dormitories was in place. This view shows how it extends along the end of the Annex to the point where it will eventually join the new building. Beyond the wooden framing, the area that has been excavated for the foundation of the new building is visible.
Then in early October, framing for the connector walls went up. Quite a dramatic change in one month!
September 2012 – Construction has begun! To honor this milestone, a groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 9 on the site of the new dormitory. Its purpose was to send well wishes to the many beings (seen and unseen) who are associated with or affected by this project.
The visual centerpiece for the ceremony was a beautiful dhammacakka mandala. This wheel of flower petals symbolizes the Buddha's teachings of awakening and liberation.
Over a hundred people, including teachers, Three-Month Retreat participants, staff and IMS friends, gathered around the mandala. Words of gratitude were expressed for all who have committed to this endeavor in a variety of ways – those who envisioned and planned it, those who offered their resources and those now involved in the construction.
IMS teachers Greg Scharf (R) and Susan O'Brien (L) led the gathering in a Metta (lovingkindness) chant.
IMS co-founder Joseph Goldstein prepares to dig the ceremonial first scoop of earth.
The ceremony concluded with the tossing of flower petals from the mandala into the new dormitory's footprint.
May 2012 – Currently, some preparations are underway between retreats.
March 2012 – Our major fundraising effort is over! We have reached our goal of $2,350,000 to construct a new Retreat Center dormitory and to renovate the Catskills. Heartfelt thanks to all in our community who generously supported our vision.
Plans are on schedule to break ground in early September and to complete the entire project by mid-2013. Site surveying was undertaken in late 2011, a preliminary yet thorough cost estimate was recently finished and architectural and engineering specifications are being finalized.
October 2011 – To prepare the site of the new dormitory, the secondary parking lot near the Annex has been discontinued. To compensate, the main parking area along Pleasant Street was recently extended.

August 2011 – Thanks to the wonderful generosity of IMS's friends and supporters, we crossed the $2,000,000 threshold towards our $2,350,000 goal to construct a new Retreat Center dormitory and to renovate the 'Catskills' accommodation wing.
April 2011 – During last spring's Monastic Retreat, Ajahn Sucitto conducted a ceremony of blessing and gratitude for some trees that needed to be removed to make way for the new dormitory. In order to utilize the timber from them in the construction project, they were taken down in September so that the lumber can be milled and dried in time.
Ajahn Sucitto (C), Ajahn Jayanto (L) and Ayya Medhanandi Bhikkhuni (R) began the ceremony with chanting.

Barleyjuice to bring Celtic rock to Penn State Fayette St. Patrick's Day week
Barleyjuice to bring Celtic rock to Penn State Fayette St. Patrick's Day week
Celtic rock band Barleyjuice will perform at 6:30 p.m. March 12, in the Maggie Hardy Margerko Auditorium in the Community Center at Penn State Fayette, the Eberly Campus. The show is free of charge and open to the public.
Chad Long, assistant director of student affairs at Penn State Fayette, said "This concert is a great opportunity for the campus and community to experience a truly unique take on rock music. The Celtic sound Barleyjuice is known for is a great way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day."
Formed in 1998, Barleyjuice is comprised of Kyf Brewer, Keith Swanson, Shelley Weiss, Eric Worthington and Gregor Schroeder, Barleyjuice is currently one of the most beloved Celtic rock bands in the United States. Their music has been featured in television episodes of "The Office" and "King of the Hill" as well as feature films such as "Driven." With five studio albums and a double-CD collection to date, Barleyjuice's blend of rock and Celtic music creates a memorable sound that appeals to all.

This may or may not be related to Lenovo, but I have a series of issues when running Windows 7 on a L412 and not being an administrator. Logging in as an administrator these things work properly. Anyway, what happens is the following:
- When starting up, the start menu freezes, but can be brought to life by Ctrl+Alt+Del and starting the Task manager (don't actually have to do anything)
- Firefox - when opening a window I have to switch to another window or minimize/maximize to actually be able to click anything, this including settings windows and links.
- Abobe Reader - clicking any button in the toolbar hangs the application (print/zoom etc)
- Internet Explorer - scrolling with external mouse wheel does not work (one of the few things that work in firefox)
... and a few other things related to mouse operations. I have tried to make sure all software is up to date, have checked for viruses, but I can't seem to find the problem. Since it seems to work fine when logged in as an administrator, perhaps this is some form of rights issue? It seems to have started with the latest version of windows update (except for the start menu issue that's always been there).
Any help is very much appreciated, since this is getting very annoying!

To be fair, though, the set-up doesn't state whether Sabretooth has an adamantium skeleton or not.
This is indeed true.
Large In Charge hasn't told us whether or not if Creed has adamantium bones. But even still, his healing factor has been incredibly hindered because of it. As a matter of fact, I am even wondering how Creed is still alive if his healing factor is inferior to Wolverine's, that he has survived the procedure. I'm thinking he should've died from that if Logan was barely able to survive the procedure.
But even with the adamantium bones, there are other ways for Kintaro to win. The brain can be shaken inside the adamantium skull, and in turn cause severe head trauma to someone like Sabertooth, and even Wolverine. As a matter of fact, I believe MarvelFan15 or Marvel Man provided scans where the Hulk had punched Wolverine hard enough for his brain to be shaken and the walls of his adamantium laced skull were actually damaging Wolverine's brain, making him effectively out of the fight.
Kintaro could possibly do the same, considering his strength and durability which is greater than Goro's.

July 29, 2013 - Another warm summer Sunday in the Washington, DC area, another day of Nike Pro City action at Georgetown's McDonough Arena. Following are some updates, gleaned from three of the five games played yesterday.
For feedback on how current Georgetown Hoyas fared, see our Premium Court message board. The play of Markel Starks, Josh Smith, Reggie Cameron, Jabril Trawick, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Mikael Hopkins, Nate Lubick and Stephen Domingo are all reviewed there.
On Point 73 Clyde's 72
Despite 38 points from former Lasalle Explorer Steven Weingarten, Clyde's couldn't withstand the balanced attack of Raymar Watson inside, and Malcolm Lemmons outside, contributors of 18 points and 21 points respectively.
Former Hoya Austin Freeman had 11 points and five rebounds for Clyde's, while Ryan Williams, a Georgetown student that may walk on, dropped 10.
Steve Weingarten, 6'7", 215 pounds, Clyde's - Active and strong around the tin, Weingarten also bombed from three ball range. His versatile performance virtually sealed the win.
Penetration off face ups can be improved.
Raymar Watson, 6'6", 220 pounds, On Point - Slasher attacked the rim. Will also bang down low.
Didn't show much consistent shooting range.
Malcolm Lemmons, 6'5", 190 pounds, On Point - Having just transferred to Cal State San Marcos from Niagara, the new CSSM Cougar will be a keeper; long a baseline driver, Lemmons now has range to three point land on his jumper, and separation moves to free himself. Still drives to the basket.
Next, must use that new found perimeter freedom to find people more.
Tombs 82 Team Takeover 52
A game that featured intriguing matchups somehow got away from Takeover. See Premium Court for a rundown of Reggie Cameron vs Mikael Hopkins, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera vs Jabril Trawick and Josh Smith vs Jordan Omogbehin.
Omogbehin attends USF, the others are of course Hoyas.
G'Town sophomore Smith-Rivera led all scorers with 19 points, while Cameron, a freshman dropped 17 points for Tombs.
Junior Blue and Grey guy Trawick paced Takeover with 20 points, while teammate and classmate Hopkins contributed nine. Incoming Indiana freshman Stanford Robinson had six points.
Jordan Omogbehin, 7'2", 330 pounds, Takeover - Not the greatest outing for this USF sophomore, Omogbehin struggled to get in the flow.
Going forward must continue working hard and rounding into form after several surgeries. Has tremendous upside and physical capability (less than 10% body fat).
Stan Robinson, 6'3', 175 pounds, Takeover - Robinson has been working to be more a point guard, given his explosion, athleticism and heart. Stan goes hard.
Is too dependent on his left hand, which should be his first focus developmentally. He's not a bad shooter, but lacks confidence from distance.
Premier 74 DCX 62
Hoya senior guard Markel Starks tried hard to propel DCX, owners of a 38-34 halftime lead to victory. It wouldn't occur, as Premier, a team laden with older players wouldn't have it, eventually wearing down a DCX crew missing several bigs.
Starks finished with a near game high 27 points, while teammate Damien Harris logged 13, while also grabbing numerous rebounds.
Andrew 'Spongebob' Washington bested Starks by one point, pacing all scorers. Teammate Curtis Massey dropped 15 points for Premier, while Deontay Twyman chipped in 12 points, followed by Corey Allmond's 10.
Damien Harris, 6'7" 220 pounds, DCX - Harris was a standout rebounder and frontcourt presence for Virginia Union last year, where he plans to return for his senior year. To maximize his CIAA impact, Harris must be able to draw defenders away from the cup for easy mid-range baskets.
Is a physical force, when motivated to be.
Andrew Washington, 6'3, 220 pounds, Premier - After taking a year off from international ball to "get my mind together and deal with some personal issues", Washington is back in force, driving, scoring and finding people, particularly after receiving the ball in isolation situations. Is a physical player that will also play mind games with opponents and refs. Can defend.
Shared "I'll probably go to Russia this year. I have a good offer from a second division team there". Increased use of his jumper - 'Spongebob's first default is to get into the lane - will help internationally.
Deontay Twyman, 6'1", 165 pounds, Premier - Another player out of basketball last year, Twyman acquitted himself well, primarily bombing from the outside with touch.
Is capable of playing somewhere professionally. To make that a certainty, this former Quinnipiac performer must hit the weight room, which will allow him to once again drive and find people with more aggressiveness.
Curtis Massey, 6'8", 200 pounds Premier - Previously a Pro City Update write up recipient, Massey was certain to correct this writer's assessment of his physical stature. And he was correct.
Massey also once again displayed good work around and at the tin. Will rebound and score in the paint. Is a smart player.
Also once again, Massey should work on letting his jumper fly, with confidence.
Sean Beins, 6'8", 210 pounds, Premier - A sophomore at Division II Mercyhurst, Beins battled, rebounded and scored around the tin.
Needs to get stronger.

If you thought these were only good for measuring liquids, think again. You can use them to sprinkle on just the right amount of sugar (8 calories per 1/2 tsp), nuts (15 to 20 calories per teaspoon), or mini chocolate chips (20 calories per teaspoon).2. Digital Kitchen Scale
Double-check the weights of whole fruits and vegetables and visually compare different portion sizes to avoid calorie creep. For example, a small (6 oz) potato has 130 calories and a medium (7 1/2 oz) potato has 160 calories. A 1-ounce of Italian bread has 70 calories and a 2-ounce slice has 140 calories.3. Vegetable Peeler
Sorry veggies, but you're no longer this appliance's one and only. Use it to slice cheese or chocolate into ultrathin 10-calorie curls, or make zucchini or eggplant ribbons to cook and serve like spaghetti or linguine, but with less than half the calories!4. Cheese Grater
Use the extra-fine grate for a 20-calorie, 1-tablespoon dusting of cheese on steamed vegetables, or shave medium ribbons of chocolate (25 calories per tablespoon) to liven up a bowl of berries.

Once you determine which container can hold your 400-calorie serving of pasta, you'll never have to measure it out again. Same for a soup ladle. At 1/2 cup per ladle, dishing out an 80-calorie serving of tomato sauce is a breeze. Or serve yourself 1 cup, or 2 ladles, of split pea soup for an easy 180-calorie appetizer.

Ah, so that's why the muffin man is so popular! In addition to your favorite breakfast, you can also use these pans to bake quiche, cake, quick bread, and hors d'oeuvres in right-size portions.

Not that you need another reason to love the tool that brings you your morning java—caffeine! antioxidants!—but here's one anyway: You can use it to chop 1 tablespoon of nuts for a quick 50-calorie garnish.
More from Prevention: 7 Double-Duty Beauty Foods8. Nested, Heavy-Gauge, Stainless Steel Measuring Cups
These are a lifesaver when you can't seem to eyeball ingredients the way your mom does. But, if you use them directly on the stove, you can also hear or reduce small amounts of liquid for sauces and salad dressings.9. 2-Cup Glass Liquid Measuring Cup
For melting and warming: Measure soft butter or margarine, chocolate chips, milk, and so on directly in the cup then microwave. For salad dressing: Layer oil, vinegar, and other ingredients using the measurement markings, and combine with a small whisk or immersion blender.10. Metal Tea Ball
Normally used to brew tea, which you can drink to lower blood pressure, this appliance also promises calorie-free flavor. Just fill it with herbs or spices and add to the pot when cooking soups and desserts.11. Collapsible Metal Vegetable Steamer
You can steam much more than broccoli! Cook Asian dumplings without adding calories or prepare cubs of delicate silken tofu that still hold their shape. Might we suggest our Indian Vegetables with Baked Tempeh recipe?12. Coffee Drip Cone
Line with a paper or gold filter, fill with plain yogurt, and place over a bowl in the fridge; as the whey drains off, you get Greek-style yogurt. Because it's thicker than regular yogurt, some people find it more of an indulgence.13. Parchment Paper
Typically used to line your cookie sheets, you can now use it to wrap fish or chicken fillets, or thinly sliced meat, along with vegetables in a parchment packet and bake for a flavorful, low-calorie meal.14. Mini Food Processor
The food processor is already pretty handy, but we're taking it a step further. Make bread and cracker crumbs for a quick, 10-calorie-per-tablespoon crunchy topping. The crumbs can be for entrees, or even dessert!15. Rice Cooker
Move over, rice: This cooker can also steam vegetables perfectly al dente. Bonus: Steamed veggies retain more of their vitamins than when they are boiled.
More from Prevention: Fruits and Veggies You Should Always Buy Organic16. Slow Cooker
Soak dry beans for a couple hours and then cook overnight; they hold their shape and are cooked just right. Then, you can toss them into our Slow Cooker Black Bean Chili for a heart-healthy meal that's full of fiber.

Point blank: big plates equal bigger portions. With smaller dishes, your meals will look larger, and you'll feel like you're eating a larger portion. Here are some 400-Calorie staples:
- 8" salad plates
- 8- to 12-ounce soup/salad bowls
- Tall, skinny drinking glasses
- Small serving bowls and spoons
- 8- to 10-ounce mugs for lattes, hot cocoa

Allen Iverson 30pts vs Penny Hardaway Magic 98/99 NBA *Playoff Debut
The NBA scoring champion took his show into the playoffs Sunday and overcame a bad case of pregame jitters. "You got anything bigger than butterflies?" Allen Iverson asked, searching for the words to describe his anxiety. "I might have had a buzzard in my stomach." Iverson scored 30 points Sunday in the first NBA playoff game of his career as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Orlando Magic 104-90 in the opener of their best-of-5, first-round series. Iverson said he slept poorly and woke up hourly, beginning at 5:30 am, in anticipation of the team's 9 am breakfast. He's always nervous before a game, but said realizing a lifelong dream of appearing in the playoffs made Sunday especially gut-wrenching. "I heard he got 15 minutes of sleep last night. That was 15 more than I expected," Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said, adding that the third-year pro's debut didn't surprise him. "I think he handles situations like this pretty well," the coach added. "The only thing that I worry about is when he takes an individual challenge too much. I think he realizes now that he can just play." Iverson, who said he actually got a lot more than 15 minutes of sleep, made 12 of 29 shots and finished with seven assists, five rebounds, two steals and six turnovers in 45 minutes. When he wasn't the answer for the 76ers, Matt Geiger was. The center scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and led an 11-0 run that Philadelphia used to pull away for good. Geiger also had 10 rebounds, helping …

So should I made an ebook on topics based around blogging? Or will i be more successful trying to promote products from Clickbank or Jvzoo? :injured:
You should do whatever will benefit your market the most. People will not buy your ebook because it exists, they will only buy it if it is helpful.
As Alabamaseo rightly says, people will only buy that kind of ebook if it is helpful, that is, if it provides valuable advice that is worth the purchase price.
In addition, you should consider the competition. Do a search for "blogging" and related subjects in the Amazon Kindle store. You might be surprised by the number of books with names like "How to make money blogging" or "101 blogging tips".
Of course, if you think you can produce a book with valuable information that hasn't already been covered, by all means give it a go.
ClickBank is the best way for newbies.
Why? That's a bit of a sweeping statement to make without any explanation.
If you think you can really create a ebook which will be really unique and will add value to the topic, I would suggest you to go and write yourself and then sell it. Otherwise, clickbank is the best available option.
Almost all successful books on ClickBank are about how to make something. I suppose when someone new is trying to enter in affiliate marketing he will choose a niche which is interested in....right?Now, i see that for a newbie is better to try selling something and get marketing skills before writing and teaching someone something...
I'm not right?
Yes, I agree with that! ebooks and patterns are normally selling good

Sleep early tonight and wake up early tomorrow. That way you can visit Dough and get a Cafe Au Lait ($2.50), fresh from the fryer and cooled just enough to apply that layer of creamy coffee icing. There's also a smattering of crunchy walnut and cake crumbles, a fun textural contrast to the yeasty doughnut. These doughnuts are huge, but they're also light, so there's no reason you can't put down two. Make the almond-topped Dulce de Leche doughnut your second.

By Jaideep Varma and Jatin Thakkar
Delhi Daredevils topped the league table but were not amongst even the four highest-ranked sides this IPL before the playoffs began (though they were the second-highest impact side amongst those who made the playoffs).
Chennai Super Kings had an even lower impact, and they were certainly lucky to make it to the playoffs, as a combination of other results went in their favour.
Both teams responded very differently to their first match in the playoffs. DD crumbled under pressure - their batting and bowling faltered, and the highest impact players failed - the death knell for a side that relies on individual brilliance more than any other side in this IPL. CSK started badly but clawed back brilliantly and even took the advantage through individual brilliance, after which the whole team responded with fire to take the match out.
The story of this match is not likely to be any different. Here is the Impact Index comparison.
DD have a higher Batting and Bowling IMPACT but a lower Team IMPACT for exactly the same reason as what it was against KKR. DD have more high impact specialised bowlers and batsmen but on an all-round basis, CSK go ahead. They have 4 all-rounders in Bravo, A Morkel, Raina and Jadeja whereas DD has just one - I Pathan.
Given their respective performances in a big match scenario (the one playoff they both played in), CSK goes even more ahead (as the numbers show). As indicated above, CSK have 15 players in their squad who have performed in big matches while DD have 10. And when you look at likely XIs, then CSK has 9 tournament-defining players whereas DD has 4 - a big difference.
So, CSK clearly have a better chance if both teams scrap on an even keel right through the match. The only chance DD have is by taking the lead through individual brilliance - for the scale required, it is only really likely from Warner and Sehwag (and maybe Taylor and Morne Morkel, to a lesser extent).
CSK has no such issues - most of their players are capable of winning the match on their steam (and have done so in the past, in big matches too).
CSK's big problem is bowling - they have only one bowler with an IMPACT of over 1.5 and that is Hilfenhaus (Kulasekara does too, but he can't get into the side because of the foreign players quota of 4). Ashwin has been lacklustre overall, as has Bollinger (he has since gone back to Australia).
Bravo, Jakati and Albie Morkel did do well in the first playoff but it may be too much to expect similar performances from them again going by their recent record. DD too depends on Morne Morkel and Umesh Yadav, and now Negi. Moreover, it is not clear if Irfan Pathan will play (split webbing doesn't heal so soon). Overall, however, DD's bowlers have registered much more impact than CSK's have.
Given CSK's bowling issues, DD's batting strength could have the biggest say in the match - besides their high impact openers, there are Jayawardene, Ojha and Taylor to provide good support (but they have high failure rates this year, which does not augur well).
DD has chased well this season, better than CSK have. Chennai as a venue does not favour chasing though - in the last 2 seasons, only 29% of teams have won chasing. Given that, and given that this is a big match scenario, there is no doubt that both teams will prefer to bat first if they win the toss.
The only doubt is whether CSK have the same hunger that made them champions twice, and they certainly seemed to against MI. So, this should go CSK's way unless, as elaborated on above, individual brilliance from Sehwag and/or Warner is forthcoming. It is hard to see how they can play without immense pressure on them, which can't be a good thing for DD.
If DD bat first, and Sehwag and Warner start well, it could be DD's match. Otherwise, it does look like CSK will defend their title in front of their home-crowd.

Hello all
I just started playing discgolf three weeks ago and have been really happy to have found this site. The information provided by Blake and others is amazing and I feel I have already learned tons, though I still have even more left to learn. The articles on this site about grip, snap, throw mechanics and so on have been really good, even though a lot of the dg jargon can be confusing at first.
The equipment I have gotten to start of with is something that I got as a packade deal at the local club. http://www.valbyparken.dk
It consists of a D cyclone (173-174), a D Hawk (170-172) and a D soft Magnet (173-174)
So far I have mainly used the the cyclone and magnet as my range has been low and I wanted to get as much range as possible, the last days has seen more use of the hawk though.
Today I started on the first week assignment because it seems as a task that fits nicely into where I am on the disc golf learning curve.
I only used one type of disc today, that being the D cyclone (173-174)
I managed to get the first three flightcurves down, the turnover was causing me some trouble though I havent quite figured out how to keep it turning and not turn back. (into an S) I assume lower height or more Snap/spin is needed?
Im considering stopping doing the X-step for a while, since when I do it, I mostly launch the disc at too high of an angle. I was somewhat satisfied that my straight shots with a slight fade at the very end, where ending up in the same place. (Within 12-24 feet of each other)
I have hit one of the plateau's as well it seems my drives go out to about 210 to 230 feet. I think I put snap on the disc, but as far as I understand a stable/understable disc should turn left if thrown with lots of snap?
Well thats it for now, if you guys are interested I would be happy to keep posting on my entry into the world that is Disc Golf, and Ill be posting more questions for sure in time.

Judge: Cleveland Bridge Bomb Plot Equal To Terrorism
A federal judge says three men who pleaded guilty in an unsuccessful plot to bomb a highway bridge in Ohio should be sentenced as terrorists.
The ruling from Judge David Dowd in Akron upheld a government request to impose stricter sentences based on a "terrorist enhancement" for the trio.
Wednesday's ruling that the three were trying to intimidate the government expands their possible sentences from five or six years to 15 to 30 years or more.
The judge will sentence Connor Stevens of Berea, Brandon Baxter of Lakewood and Douglas Wright of Indianapolis on Tuesday.
A fourth man who pleaded guilty first and agreed to testify against the others in return for leniency will be sentenced Nov. 21. The fifth defendant is undergoing a psychiatric exam.

Fire rips across Ahtanum Ridge; now fully contained
NEAR YAKIMA, Wash -- Fire crews worked overnight Friday to put out a fire that threatened homes along Ahtanum ridge.
The fire burned south over Ahtanum Ridge onto Yakama Nation Land.
As of Saturday morning the fire was 100% contained, according to Yakama Nation officials.
Firefighters from around the valley responded to it around 6:00 Friday evening.
Officials said it burned around several homes but no structures were damaged. They were able to keep it from spreading west.
Several engines remained on scene Saturday to mop up hot spots and monitor the fire. West Valley Fire is working with Yakama Nation during the mop up.
Investigators are still looking into what may have caused the fire.

It's not just a mock draft league. It's actually still going on!
You may be surprised to hear this, but we make trades during the season and everything.
You may be carrying an injured player, causing you to lose points, when there's a young buck tearing up the stats sheets on the waiver-wire who could help you team, but you won't know if you don't check in.
You may have someone trying to work out a trade with you and wanting to open up negotiations, but you won't know, if you don't check on your team regularly. Maybe you have a counter-offer that might work better for both teams. Maybe you have some trade ideas of your own. Maybe someone took a two day trade deadline break to make you an offer.....but youoll never know if you don't bother to check in.
What? Are you picking up on a certain theme to this thread?
