A new Benchmark is set
The TG 100 is the first entry-level wireless system that includes a pilot tone function which provides a lot of advantages. Speech clarity combined with user-friendly handling and improved protection against interference makes the TG 100 a handy all-round wireless system. Developed for smaller sound installations as well as for ambitious hobby musicians the TG 100 wireless system is equally adept to both speech and singing.
Music sessions
Live show or band practice, the handheld transmitter containing a professional dynamic microphone capsule meets all needs. The handheld set is the perfect stage tool for ambitious hobby musicians and offers the necessary flexibility for any kind of performance.
The pilot tone prevents noise and assures user-friendly handling. The TG100 wireless system uses the pilot tone to identify a correct signal for improved interference-free transmission and to transmit a low battery warning as well as the audio mute information to the receiver.
The integrated sound switch equally improves the clarity of speech and vocals without the need for a mixing console.
The professional diversity receiver ensures best signal reception even in a complex environment.
A rotating dial allows the user to choose between 8 different channels. 3 available band variants enable the use of up to 24 channels simultaneously (depending on the local RF-RF ("radio frequency") is used as a general abbreviation for radio signals, even though this is not correct in the strict sense, since this term only applies to the frequency range of 3 to 30 MHz. Current wireless systems operate mainly in the UHF (ultra-high frequency) range between 300 MHz and 3 GHz.situation).
With a battery operation of 10 hours there is no need for concern regarding extensive encores or long-lasting events.

PARK TOWNSHIP (AP) -- Western Michigan authorities say two people may have been drag racing when they struck and killed a 24-year-old man who was walking across a street near Holland.
MLive says that Joshua K. Owens of Ottawa County's Holland Township was crossing a road in Park Township about 12:50 a.m. Sunday in order to use an ATM when two vehicles hit him.
Witnesses say the vehicles may have been racing. They say the drivers briefly stopped, then fled.
Police say they got a tip that the vehicles were at a house in Park Township and arrested the suspects. They were taken to the Ottawa County jail.
Their names weren't released.
The website says Owens was the married father of a 3-year-old girl and worked for a carpet care company.

Chavez unveils surveillance drone
Venezuela's president has said the country has begun producing unmanned aerial surveillance drones.
Hugo Chavez said the aircraft were being built as part of military co-operation with Iran and other allies.
In a televised address from the country's defence ministry, Mr Chavez said the aircraft, of which he said there are currently three, were solely for defensive purposes.
He said Venezuela had also started making grenades and Kalashnikov rifles.
He said that Russia, China, Iran and "other allied countries" had contributed to the projects.
"We have the right [to manufacture weapons]," Mr Chavez said. "We would not if we were a colony, but we are a free and independent country."
Mr Chavez - who has repeatedly warned that the US could invade Venezuela to seize control of its immense oil reserves - said the drones and arms were for defence purposes.
"We do not have any intentions of attacking anybody," he said.
Officials said the drone was part of a system aimed at the surveillance and monitoring of pipelines, dams and other rural infrastructure.
The country has spent billions of dollars on Russian arms and military aircraft since 2005, including 24 Sukhoi fighter jets, dozens of attack helicopters and 100,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles.
The drone has a range of 100km (60 miles) and can reach an altitude of 3,000m according to Gen Julio Morales, head of the state-run Cavim arms manufacturer, which developed the aircraft.

Scanning electron micrograph of conidiophores of Penicillium chrysogenum.
By David Cornish, Wired UK
Think engineering, think dry wipe boards covered in calculations, bridges and cluttered lab experiments. Then take a quick skim through the gallery of images from the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering's 2012 Photography Competition, and all preconceived ideas of the world of engineering will be blown away.
[partner id="wireduk"]
Originally envisaged nine years ago as a project that might offer University of Cambridge staff and students "a little bit of fun," the photography competition has been heralded by Philip Guildford, Director of Research at the Department of Engineering, as a showcase for modern engineering. A panel of judges from the university's department of engineering and Ken Robinson, Senior Applications Specialist for the competition's sponsor Carl Zeiss, were inundated with hundreds of photographs for this year's competition, depicting a vast array of experiments and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images.
In order to find a winner for the competition, the judges weren't searching for a photograph that best encapsulated engineering, but were tasked with looking for an image that might hold its own in the Tate Modern or Tate Britain. SEM images of poppy seeds and nanoporous materials offered bizarre, alien landscapes, while experiments into reducing CO2 emissions in coal power plants offered incredible images of cylinders of flame.
The competition winners were Ronan Daly and Alfonso Castrejon-Pita, of the Inkjet Research Centre, whose winning entry (Drying Patterns of AKD on Glass) illustrates the drying and cracking of a film formed when an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion is deposited and dried on a glass microscope slide. Besides being a stunning photo, the image also illustrates the new generation of inkjet printing techniques, which have potential applications in diagnostic and lab-on-chip technologies that could speed up the process of identifying and treating life-threatening diseases.
Second prize went to Graham Treece, with his computer-generated image taken from a CT scan of the head. The image (A New Way of Looking) is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into new techniques for measuring variations in the thickness of the surface of the skull and offers a valuable new tool for clinicians looking at injuries such as fractures. Third prize was won by Pola Goldberg Oppenheimer for her image (Nanoscale Fractal Branching Patterns) of adhesive structures that mimic the ability of the gecko's feet to stick to surfaces repeatedly without losing their stickiness.

The Seattle Mariners and ace Felix Hernandez haven't had any recent contract talks, according to CBSSports.com.
There is little urgency because Hernandez is signed through the 2014 season, set to make $19.5 million next season and $20 million in 2014.
Hernandez, 26, went 13-9 with a 3.06 ERA in 33 starts this season. He struck out 223 batters in 232 innings, and his five shutouts led the American League. The highlight of his season was a perfect game against the Tampa Bays Rays on Aug. 15.
Because of his production and price tag, Hernandez becomes a popular player in trade rumors each offseason and each July. However, Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik repeatedly has stated that he will not deal Hernandez.
In his eight-season major league career, Hernandez, the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner, is 98-76 with a 3.22 ERA.

Liking a Facebook Options Play
I've been messing around with the Facebook (FB) options and trying to outline a bullish trade that offers a decent risk/reward scenario that would be similar to buying the stock, but would still have some limits as far as risk and reward. I have to say it hasn't been easy so far, but I've mapped out one trade, from a bullish perspective, that I like. Of course, I initiated a bullish trade earlier in the month, which I may take off the table early. But this is the long trade that I am using to replace long stock and my current LEAP position. Given the size of the LEAP position, it will probably take me a day or two to unwind and rotate this over.
There is no denying the strong run FB shares have had. There is the "event" on Tuesday, the technical breakout, and, of course, earnings coming on Jan. 30. Expectations feel very high into earnings this go round given the stock's performance, so I want to allow myself upside, but define my risk. It is important to note this is an adjustment to long stock and long LEAPs, so it is not an entirely new position. For starters after selling the stock, I am then going to buy a February skip-strike call play here consisting of long 1x February $28 calls, short 2x February $37 calls and long 1x February $39 calls for around $3.70. The price has been jumping between $3.60 and $3.75 today. Although I gave consideration to the $35 strike, I am using the $37 strike on the short side. This is because no matter how good FB's report is, I just don't see it being able to clear the $38 offering price without a lot of resistance on the first attempt. Also, given the stock's run, I anticipate there will be a profit-taking fade if there is an additional pop to the upside....284 more words left in this article.

discspeed wrote:I've had a chance to put the GL and Opto Rivers (both 175) through their paces pretty well. They are both nice in their own ways, but they are very different.
The GL is working perfectly for me as my primary fairway driver. It is like a QJLS with a bit more glide, essentially making it more effortless with a bit more range. It transitions very slow and smooth and generally holds it's height well. It holds a turn easily and comes out at the end. On a flat/slight hyzer throw it flips flat with a glidey TB-like fade. I've also been able to throw it dead straight with very little fade on a very controlled flat release. Basically it flies like a dream...It's too bad I didn't get this disc when I first tested the River...
The Opto is a strange animal. It flies VERY similar to a straight-flying domey yellow Striker I had. It flies on the same general lines as the GL, but it's not smooth at all. Instead of easing into it's high speed turn it just seems to kind of pop up all of a sudden. While the fade is kind of late, it is very harsh with the disc getting almost vertical and spiking into the ground. It also seems to like to lift and get air bounces like a lot of really domey discs do. This adds to the feel of the glide, but at no point does the disc ever feel locked onto it's line. This disc also goes really far...Considering the speed at which it needs to be thrown not to fade excessively, this is a disc that needs 360'+ to get it's intended flight path. Out in the field I could crush this disc nose down and hyzer and get some huge hyzer flips...I was putting both well over 400' with a little wind behind me, though in more neutral wind conditions the Opto was going up to 20' farther.
Long story short...The orange GL River is in the bag. This is the disc I wanted the River to be when it came out. In terms of speed, glide, range, HSS, and LSS it is the perfect versatile fairway driver to stand alone in my bag and bridge the gap between mids and my PDs.

CARSON, Calif. – Juan Pablo Angel scored his third goal of the season to give Chivas USA just their second home win of the year, a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Impact Wednesday night at the Home Depot Center.
Just minutes after coming on as a substitute, Angel headed in his 71st career goal to edge Chivas past the expansion side.
OPTA Chalkboard: Angel, Villafana change the game for Goats
Pressuring from the outset, the Rojiblancos finally broke through in the 15th minute of play. A Cesar Romero corner kick found the boot of Juan Agudelo whose touch deflected off Alejandro Moreno's thigh for the opening goal.
Chivas continued their offensive pressure in the 29th minute when Ben Zemanski launched a shot from 25 yards out that forced a fingertip save from Impact 'keeper Donovan Ricketts.
That seemed to bring Montreal into the game, and they began tilting the field regularly as the first half wound down. Andrew Wenger and Felipe both had attempts pushed wide by Dan Kennedy in the 39th minute.
Three minutes later, Felipe would not be denied. Davy Arnaud dashed down the right flank before sending in a cross to the near post that Felipe coolly flicked past Kennedy. The wild finish to the first half continued as, just two minutes later, Zemanski forced another diving save from Ricketts with a shot from outside the box.
At the outset of the second half both clubs pressed ahead in search of the go-ahead goal. Chivas nearly got on the board for a second time when a pinball-esque passing sequence allowed Agudelo to get alone on the 'keeper, but defender Shavar Thomas made a sliding tackle that prevented the forward from getting a chance on frame. Chivas continued the pressure just moments later when Moreno — with a Montreal defender on top of him – played the ball back for Romero, who launched a shot just wide of frame.
His club struggling to create chances, Impact head coach Jesse Marsch opted for a pair of offensive substitutions midway through the second half, bringing forward Justin Braun for Patrice Bernier in the 63rd and Sanna Nyassi for Wenger ten minutes later.
With the match stagnating, Fraser countered with a pair of subs of his own, inserting Angel and Jorge Villafaña in the 77th minute. Fraser's substitutions paid off almost immediately when, in the 82nd minute Villafaña fired in a cross from the left side that Angel nodded past Ricketts.
In the 90th minute, Montreal nearly equalized when Nyassi launched shot from distance that forced a diving save from Kennedy. But that would be the Impact's last gasp as the home side hung on.
With the win Chivas move to 5-7-3, with their 18 points good for sixth in the Western Conference. Montreal fall to 4-8-3, eighth in the East on 15 points.
Both teams return to action on Saturday as the Rojiblancos travel to Frisco, Texas to take on FC Dallas while the Impact head home to Stade Saputo to host the Houston Dynamo.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Jorge Villafana
|Chivas fans will be wondering where this version of Villafana has been all season. He was fantastic on both sides of the ball, including the game-winning assist.
|Nelson Rivas
|This is exactly the guy Jesse Marsch & Co. were hoping to get. Did his best to keep a sloppy Montreal side in it, and is always cool when distributing.
|Juan Agudelo
|Didn't get the goal on the first, but his relentlessness on set-pieces is what created it. And he was a constant menace from the run of play as well.

Elementalist Profession Series Part 1
So…you are considering making an elementalist in GW2? You wanna control the weather, eh? Make things go *BOOM* *ZAP* *SPLASH* and *CRUNCH*? This article series can help with that decision. In this first installment, I plan to talk briefly about the history of the profession from GW1, race-specific skills that complement the profession, attunements, and weapon skills; all of which are important to consider from levels 1-30 or so (the history lesson is a bonus).
What this article series is: This series is meant to be a quick and dirty guide and advice column about the elementalist profession. I hope to promote discussion and encourage people to play this fun and versatile profession. This is primarily written for PvE gameplay.
What this article series is not: This is NOT a comprehensive strategy guide on how to play the elementalist profession. It does not include a list of all of the skills/traits with commentary. It does not discuss PvP strategy.
I can be long winded in my articles, but I'm also a big fan of tl;dr, so I'll include that at the end of each section.

Benefits of Chemotherapy Following Surgery
For lung cancer, what is the benefit of chemotherapy after surgery, removal of lower lobe right lung, stage IIA cancer (3mm nodule)? What is the percentage of recurring vs. non chemotherapy? Thank you.
Using chemotherapy (usually cisplatin and vinorelbine for 4 cycles) after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer has become the standard of care. There are records on how many people live 5 years after treatment, regardless of whether or not the cancer has come back. The risk of stage IIIA coming back in 5 years without chemotherapy has been reported to be as high as 60-70% and living ~ 5 years after surgery ranges from 30 to 50%.
When chemotherapy is used after surgery, there is an approximately 8 to 15% chance that people will live longer than without chemotherapy. These numbers don't look like much by themselves, but this is thought to be a significant improvement. These results are estimates from thousands of patients who participated in clinical trials, in which they were randomized to receive either chemotherapy or no chemotherapy. The choice to take treatment or not is certainly an individual one, but there is good data showing that chemotherapy may be beneficial.

As Major League Baseball's postseason begins Wednesday, the sport's fans are prepping for what they'd call the most drama-packed month of the yeara time when families huddle around the television to see upsets pulled, heroes born and a World Series won.
But let's face it, they're also liable to spend lots of time watching guys standing around during pitching changes, dawdling on the mound or stepping out of the batter's box to perform some idiosyncratic ritual that involves tapping one's bat on one's shinguards.
Breaking Down the Game
Here's a look at what viewers can expect to see in a televised baseball game. Click to expand graphic.
View Full Image
It all got us thinking: Exactly how much genuine baseball action is there in an average baseball game?
Following the model of a similar study we did about football last season, we reviewed a pair of nationally televised nine-inning baseball games from earlier this season, one shown on Fox and the other on ESPN, and used a stopwatch to break them down into their component parts.
The stopwatch would start when a pitcher lifted his leg to begin his pitching motion. The timing would stop when the ball hit the catcher's mitt or, if it was put in play, when the presiding umpire made a call or the players all stopped moving (pickoff attempts and steals were also counted as action).
The result is that during these games, there was a nearly identical amount of action: about 14 minutes. To put that in context, that's about 10.9% of the total broadcast time (excluding commercials). It's a fraction of the roughly 88 minutes the players were shown standing around between plays, nearly 45% more than the 10 minutes of replays that are shown and almost four times as much as the cameras show players lounging in the dugout.
The total 14 minutes of action was about three minutes more action than one might see in a football game, according to our previous study.
Sports producers, announcers, commentators and players generally agreed with our assessment, though there were a few bones to pick. Bob Costas, who has announced games for every major American sports league, thought there could have been "a couple of subsets. Let's be honestthere's action, and then there's meaningful action."
Columnist George Will doesn't think it's possible to figure out a definition of "action" that would jibe with every viewer. "This will drive baseball people crazy because they want to quantify everything, but there are just some things that aren't quantifiable."
So how do the modern games compare with Game 6 of the 1952 World Series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankeesthe oldest complete-game broadcast that MLB has in its possession? While the amount of action was roughly similarabout 13 minuteswe tallied only nine minutes and 44 seconds of commercials. The tally for today's games, 42 minutes and 10 seconds, was more than four times as high.

The Journal study from early this year on NFL games showed several other differences from baseball. While football had 67 minutes of standing-around timeabout 21 minutes less than baseballbaseball broadcasts showed managers about one-half the amount of time that football broadcasts showed head coaches, one-sixth the amount of shots showing officials and only half the time that football telecasts devoted to replays.
When it comes to broadcasts in general, "You always have to leave time on the back end of the replays to get to the game," says Ed Goren, vice chairman of Fox Sports Media Group, which shows both MLB and NFL games. "But you don't have much time in baseball, and you can never miss the next pitch."

Steven Dietz's "Fiction" is a show that will "keep the audience guessing even after they leave," said MaryJo Alexander, co-artistic director at Actors' Summit.
"I saw it 7, 8 years ago and I fell in love with it," she said. "It's such a puzzle.I love [Dietz's] style. He is the most produced playwright in America right now."
The play centers on married couple Linda and Michael Waterman (played by Sally Groth and Bob Keefe), who are both successful writers. When Linda is diagnosed with a brain tumor, she tells her husband she realizes that he can and will read her extensive collection of journals after she is gone -- and asks to read his journals. Michael's reaction and initial reluctance becomes apparent soon enough, after Linda reads about her husband's relationship with Abby Drake (played by Cassandra Capocci) during a writer's retreat. But as the play goes on, what is real and what is merely fiction becomes blurred. Without giving too much away, Linda has her own secrets and Abby her own agenda, and the audience will be left guessing to the very end - and even after the show -- as to what really happened.
The audience on opening night Jan. 18 seemed to enjoy the show.
"It had some great twists in it," said Sue Breitsch of Chagrin Falls.
Rick Wilson of Akron said he, too, liked the play.
"Sometimes plays tend to drag towards the end, but this one kept you engaged," he said. "I was surprised and disappointed when it was over."

i got my braces off on mon and then got my retainer on thurs. i got a clear retainer and a metal retainer and was told to wear the metal retainer most of the time. when i have the metal reatainer in it doesnt feel very tight. also the metal bar going across the front of my teeth does not go straight across my teeth. it is lower on one side of my mouth. im afraid that my teeth will move . does it take awhile for a retainer to fit properly or should i go back to my orthodontist?
You need to go back to your orthodontist and have the metal retainer checked for fit.

Topic: New member of the CC club here
Hi everyone. I am a 46-y/o female who had a 4 cm intrahepatic Klatskin tumor in my bile duct and 2/3rds of my liver removed 2 months ago. Frankly I'm still in shock about this cancer diagnosis...I've been healthy all my life until now.
16 lymph nodes were also removed during surgery; out of those only one directly connected to the tumor was canceous.
Regardless of this cancerous node, my current doc wants to prescribe both chemo (8 cycles) and targeted radiation over a 6-month period ASAP. In doing research on the web about these therapies it seems docs treat post-surgery CC patients differently; some just prescribe radiation but some want to do both RT and chemo. I wonder what others in my "unlucky" boat have done with success, which to me means attaining remission status?
Also, I've lost 30 pounds throughout this medical journey (looking like a cancer patient!) but the doc still insists on starting the therapies NOW. I fear that I won't be able to eat while on chemo and will basically waste away. Oh, I have to work full-time too, which enters into the dynamic.
Any advice on effective therapies (or things to beware of) anyone can provide is most appreciated. I am praying for everyone on this website, too. God bless.

text: Raised in a conservative religious home, Anne Heche got her acting start after she started doing dinner theater as a teen to make ends meet when her father's death of AIDS left the family in financial ruin. A talent scout spotted her in a high school play and post-graduation she moved to New York to play twins on "Another World," which won her a 1991 Daytime Emmy. Her film debut was in 1993's "An Ambush of Ghosts." She had her first taste of high-profile romance with Steve Martin in 1994. After wowing in "Donnie Brasco" (1997), she was on a professional role with "Volcano," "Wag The Dog." "Six Days Seven Nights," and the "Psycho" remake despite many assuming her relationship with Ellen DeGeneres would end her mainstream career. After their 2000 breakup, Heche was hospitalized after wandering around Fresno, Calif., in a bra mumbling about aliens, one of many incidents detailed in her 2001 memoir "Call Me Crazy." She married videographer Coley Laffoon in 2001, had son Homer in 2002, was nominated for a Tony and Emmy in 2004, and headlined her first TV series "Men In Trees" in 2006. She separated from Laffoon in 2007 after an on-set affair with James Tupper, a dirty custody battle followed and she claimed her accounts were drained by $15,000-a-month child support payments. Things have been looking up since as she gave birth to Tupper's son Atlas in 2009, appeared in a few indies like "Cedar Rapids" and has had a steady stream of TV gigs ("Hung" and "The Michael J. Fox Show").

Week 10 Nutrition Guide: Break Through the Plateau
People refer to different tests of what these food imposters are: Would your grandmother recognize all of the ingredients? Could you reproduce it in your home-kitchen? Would it go bad in a few days once opened? Do you need to Google it to understand what it is? The bottom line is, processed foods aren't created in nature — they're manmade. To make them, whole ingredients are pulled out and replaced with artificial additives that lack the same fiber, minerals, and vitamins than real foods pack.
In today's day and age, very. As of 2010, we ate 31 percent more packaged food than fresh food. And in 1982, Americans spent 11.6 percent of their grocery money on processed foods and sweets. In 2012, that figure nearly doubled, overtaking meats, fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy to become the most expensive food category on our shopping lists. This is partially because grocery stores and food manufacturers take advantage of consumers, placing fruits and vegetables on the outer aisles, and processed ones in the middle aisle, the highest selling area.

Infectious Diseases
Herpes virus
can you develop herpes internally ?
Short Answer: Yes. Human Herpes Simplex virus is able to infect a variety of tissues. For Herpes Simplex I, the most common site of infection is the oral mucosa around the lips (cold sores), but simultaneously, it is infecting the nerve ganglion that innervates the skin around the mouth, the trigeminal ganglia. Herpes not infrequently produce encephalitis, which can be fatal. It can produce lesions in the bronchial tree, especially in very sick patients that have been on a respirator for prolonged periods of time. In immunosuppressed people it can infect the retina, which is the light sensitive, posterior layer of the eye. It can also produce hepatitis in this population. Herpes Simplex type 2 usually infects the genital area skin and mucosa, but it can produce meningitis, infections in the lumbar spine, it can and does produce infection of the uterine cervix, the male and female urethra, the urinary bladder, especially in people using permanent catheters. It can also infect the rectal mucosa, more commonly in individuals that engage in anal intercourse.

Then there are the other elements. For the two step sequences Scott has a level 2 and a level 1, while Stephane has two level 3's.
They are about equal in the levels of their spins, but Lambiel -- perhaps the best spinner in the world -- picks up extra points in GOE.
Finally, as Chuckm keeps pointing out, the tech score is only half the battle. Figure skating is one of the few sports where it's not only what you do, it's how good you look doing it. Comparing the program component scores (skating skills, transitions, performance/execution, choreography, and interpretation) we have
Smith: 6.80, 6.20, 6.35, 6.45, 6.35
Labiel: 7.79, 7.68, 7.82, 7.79, 7.86
That's a whopping difference of about a point and a half across the board (and these differences are multiplied by 2 in the final scores for the LP), reflecting the judges opinions about the skaters' "style".
Like Joe says, it is starting to seem like everyone is picking on Scott on this thread. But that's not it at all. Lambiel is the two-time and defending world champion. He is very good!
BTW, it is an interesting point that in the Olympic LP, Lambiel (2 quads) and Lysacek (0 quads) came out about even. But this can be spun either way. Should Lysacek work on his quads, or should Lambiel work on the rest of his game?

Winter VacationSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
A man and his wife were going to Mt. Everest for a winter vacation. While on this trip the man's wife was murdered. The police are convinced that it wasn't a murder. One day a man came to the police and told them who did it, and that he had evidence. Who found out? How? And who killed the woman?
HintThink of the tickets. Who purchased them?
AnswerHer husband did it! The person who found out was the ticket collector. He knew she had been murdered because her ticket was a one way ticket. Her husband had a round trip ticket. Therefore he knew she would not be returning and wanted to save money on her ticket. So he bought her a one way ticket because he planned to murder her.

OJ looks like the OJ of summer league, not that good.
Lou blocked Plumlee
Nice inbound play there.
So much sloppiness...
Orlando Johnson hasn't shown me anything to make me think he should get a roster spot
He is playing like the worse version of AJ Price and AJ Price was bad.
Who has? Gaines, Hansbrough, Ahearn? Or do you just let em all walk?
Fine with me
George 15 shots in 16 minutes wow
Mahinmi has looked nice.
there is no doubt george's handles are better. he is dribbling a lot lower.
Liking Mahinmi, good rebounding instincts and can finish inside, nice pass by George for a Mahinmi Dunk, and a great find by West to find Mahinmi right before.
Nice hockey assist by lance. glad he didnt settle for the 3
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Man Mahinmi is looking really good but haven't really seen him assert himself much defensively, hopefully he develops a bit of a mean streak in that regard...but he's French and they're not exactly notorious for being mean
George has shot alot, but he has had a few seriously nice moves off the dribble and going to the rim or pulling up. His ballhandling skills looks alot better.
Can't wait till Danny comes back.
We should've kept Fez!!!!!
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Anyone else hear Boyle during timeouts. Lol Hilarious.
hope Dwest tries a little harder during the regular season...
Pendergrap think he is Kobe.
Dahntay and DC would be wiping the floor with our current bench.
It's tough being an under 6'4" SF.
Plumlee gets blocked too much for a 7-footer.

Pears are just now at the tail end of their season. Yes, I know we can find pears all year these days. But believe me, those specimens are going to be nowhere near as electrifying as a fully-ripened in-season local pear. The problem is the relative rareness of such pears. Ralph Waldo Emerson was onto something when he wrote, "There are only 10 minutes in the life of a pear when it is perfect to eat."
In other words, most of the time, no matter where it comes from, our pears aren't at the peak of perfection. And for those times, when pears are unripe and you don't have time to let them ripen, this recipe comes in mighty handy.
Baking an unripe pear not only makes it tender, it also crystallizes and magnifies the fruit's flavor. Happily, any kind of pear — and there are many varieties — will work in this recipe, as will a mix of varieties.
Pears also have a lot to offer in terms of health. They're a good source of vitamin C and a great source of fiber.
As for granola, there are a zillion brands in the cereal aisle of the supermarket. The problem is that many of them are laden with fat and sugar even as they masquerade under a healthy halo. That's why recommended portion on the back of most granola boxes is just 1/4 cup. Pour yourself a normal, adult-sized portion, and you may as well be eating a meal of waffles and sausage.
So when you shop for granola, look for a brand that's lower in fat, sugar and calories than the competition — and which also contains lots of nuts, seeds and dried fruit. And if you want to bump up nutritional value of this recipe even more, you also could add 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed.
I wouldn't worry too much about the amount of granola in this recipe. Per serving, it's about what the granola box recommends, and mostly serves to put the crisp on this pear crisp. Heck, you'd be much better off serving this dessert for breakfast than dogging a big bowl of nothing but granola.Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active)
Servings: 8
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon apricot preserves or sweetened fruit spread
4 pears (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Table salt
2 cups purchased granola
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat shallow 6-cup baking dish with cooking spray. In small saucepan over medium-low, heat preserves until melted and easily stirred.
Set sliced pears in large bowl, then drizzle preserves over them. Add lemon juice and salt, then toss well. Spread pears evenly in prepared baking dish. Sprinkle granola evenly over pears, then cover dish loosely with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes, or until pears are tender. Serve hot or cold.

Here they go again.
But they probably won't go at it.
The Padres begin a three-game series Monday at Dodger Stadium against the team with which just four days prior they engaged in an on-field melee that led to a postgame confrontation and a barrage of strong words.
Yet, for all the presumed possibilities for violence in the Padres and Dodgers meeting so soon after Carlos Quentin went after Zack Greinke, inciting both benches to clear and something of a national debate on Quentin's baseball IQ, there are many reasons the rematch will see only pitches -- not punches -- thrown.
Not the least of those reasons should be that Monday is the day set aside to honor Jackie Robinson. His widow, in fact, will be at Dodger Stadium.
But, moreover, both teams will be officially admonished before the game that no retaliation will be tolerated. The first stray pitch could well result in the ejection of the offending pitcher and his manager.
And, perhaps the best protection against tensions spilling over is that the guest of honor won't even be present. Quentin forewent the appeal of his eight-game suspension on Sunday and won't be with the team.
"There would have been more attention on it because he was there," Padres Manager Bud Black said of Quentin's presence. "I still think the game would have been played out."
Black has been in pro baseball as a player, coach and manager since 1979. It would be difficult to estimate the number of bench clearing incidents he has witnessed. He's seen, carryover, sure. But he's more often experienced the aftermath being business as usual.
"Emotions run high," Black said. "Then over time, even though it's just three days, things do have a way of calming down."
You can see the logic behind Black's hopefulness.
For their part, Padres players were simply backing up their teammate on Thursday. This wasn't their beef. They want this behind them.
The Dodgers, now, they're ticked off. One of their aces is shelved for two months, and they believe it's Quentin's fault.
Perhaps the Dodgers should realize Greinke shoulders some responsibility. It's a theory that, without prompting, Padres pitcher Jason Marquis supported Sunday.
"I don't think they should be mad because Greinke got hurt," It happens. If he'd sidestepped him …"
Marquis listed some of the batter-on-pitcher violence he's seen, including going old school with Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura.
" I don't think anyone ever missed two months after getting punched in the face," Marquis said. "(Greinke) didn't have to lower his shoulder."
The 14-year veteran, who will pitch Tuesday in Los Angeles, seemed almost bored by the idea that last week's violence would beget more in the coming days.
"These things happen," Marquis said. "They're part of baseball. You have to be able to separate the game stuff from the personal stuff. You've got to do a little more searching as a player to understand the game ... Guys get hit, guys charge the mound. It is what it is."
Additionally, if Don Mattingly is to be believed, then his team should consider giving peace a chance.
The Dodgers manager said Thursday in response to being told there has long been bad blood between Quentin and Greinke: "I don't want to hear about personal history or anything. We're trying to win a game."
Yes, everyone would be (and almost certainly will be) wise to simply play baseball the next three days.
Now, that doesn't mean we've absolutely seen the last of any issues stemming from Thursday. Baseball players have long memories. Sometimes retaliation comes years later.
The Padres and Dodgers play 13 more times, including a half-dozen times after Greinke is due back from the disable list.
One final word of caution about this series, though: If any of you Padres fans who aren't going to games in San Diego were thinking about attending at Chavez Ravine and wearing our SD gear, please reconsider. Dodgers games are the new Raiders games in Los Angeles, and anyone wearing an opposing team's gear in the parking lot is more unwelcome as Quentin would have been on the field.

Hi everybody
I am planning to start my own business shortly making and selling chocolates and as a shortcut to my research i am asking those of you running your business what would you suggest as basic range of chocolates and flavours to get the clientele into my shop?.
Any other confectionary related products that sell well?
August 1, 2006
I don't have a business, but I've visited various shops (and worked in one years ago) and what-not and have a rough idea as to what sells. But your roster of chocolates will depend on the type of clientele you want to attract (and this includes how receptive you think they are to fine foods and flavor combinations) and your location. From my impressions so far, folks want familiar flavors. I've seen seemingly ordinary flavors crank up sales like there's no tomorrow. Tiramisu, mint, assorted fruits, and nuts all sell well, especially a plain dark piece. These generally sell where people are of a more conservative mindset and where the population tends to be older as well.
Some people might not appreciate exotic flavor combinations such as Anise Pink Peppercorn or Rose Caramel, so if you want to go that route, introduce them slowly. What I've seen a lot of chocolatiers doing in their boxes of chocolates is offering predominantly neutral flavors that pretty much anyone would like, while at the same time throwing in some unusual and exotic pieces too. I imagine this is the creative side of the chocolatier, and that he's hoping to prime palates and make them more receptive to these sorts of combinations.
This isn't to say there is no market for unusual pairings...because there is. You just have to evaluate your local market and understand what sells and what doesn't. This is probably the most important step you can take because you need to understand your clients before you can cater to them.
Regardless of what you do, though, I think it's important to make sure your chocolates are of excellent quality. Flavor types, then, essentially becomes secondary. I've had chocolates that weren't complex or interesting in flavor but were so good in their basic flavor that they have become among my favorites.

One thing I, and many others, would *really* like to see is boxes of chocolates with one flavour rather than assortments only. Many people have very clear ideas about what they like and don't like and the inevitable result is a box with a few chocolates that never go eaten. It always seems like a waste. Furthermore, certain chocolates, especially as Monte points out basic flavours such as simple plain ganache (just chocolate and cream, nothing else) are always more popular and are ones many will want by themself without other flavours to get in the way of enjoyment of the one they've decided to fixate upon. Usually among this range there will also be a "signature" creation that you'll want to make that everybody remembers and, once again, wants by itself.
On overall range, a plain dark chocolate ganache (often called truffle) is the first and most obvious must. A few Canonical Flavours: coffee, hazelnut, raspberry, caramel, mint, rum, are pretty much essential and expected everywhere, and it's nice to have at least one other nut, one other fruit, one other confectionery centre, one other liqueur, and cinnamon. Have some milk chocolates and white chocolates as well, for those who aren't fond of dark. From there you can get more creative. I like floral flavours (rose, jasmine, lavender, etc.) and they also bring in crowds because they seem exotic but accessible. Nuts and spices together also make for some fun ideas. An couple of examples that I like (not necessarily part of the "basic range", but illustrative) would be cardamom/almond or nutmeg/walnut.
Lots to try: again as Monte says basic quality will in the long run count for a lot more than flavour originality, and when in doubt, stick with what you know how to do well and blindfolded, rather than experimenting with things that are really far outside your core strengths.

HI Monte and Alex
Thanks for the replies, the basic range was as i thought, and a visit to the local thorntons would give me a guide to as what was popular.
Thanks for the for your thoughts on alternative flavours, as in most things it often pays not to get to complicated with a product, "less is more" as they say.
I just asked as there might have been a surprise out there that caught peoples imagination.
And yes i agree, Quality is paramount in all areas, product, presentation and service.
Thanks again for your input
January 16, 2006
Don't forget novelty items. Chocolate lollipops, chocolate medallions with names on, etc. They have great appeal and can still be quality products as well as being very profitable.
If you are looking to be doing most of your selling in the shop location is very important and what Monte says about exotic flavours is right. I know someone who recently opened a chocolate shop. She tried selling a range of adventurously flavoured truffles; chilli, green tea, various spices etc. Very nice quality too, but they just didn't sell in the shop. The location and clientele is too suburban and conservative. They would probably do well in a town centre with coffee bars, restaurants, clothes shops and more coffee bars. On that subject, Les, you may want to change your mind and open the shop as a coffee bar, or nail bar - or both! Every other shop in my area seems to be going that way.

Knowledge Transfer: Marketing
This event occurred in the past
Date and Time
- Thursday, April 25, 2013 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.
Manchester Conference Center
Are you curious about careers in marketing? Meet top professionals in the field at the Marketing Knowledge Transfer. The event takes place from 12 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. in the Manchester Conference Center. There will be a light reception followed by a panel discussion beginning at 12:30 p.m. All majors are welcome.
Realizing the importance of putting students in direct contact with USD alumni and parent professionals, the USD Parents Association, along with the Office of Parent Relations, created the Knowledge Transfer program.
The USD Knowledge Transfer program is a series of industry-specific forums on campus where current USD students hear from a panel of experts of a specific industry on a career of interest. This allows students to gain knowledge and make connections that will assist them as they move on from USD in their future careers. Students are given the opportunity to directly network with top industry professionals who have a vested interest in USD as Torero alumni or parents. Networking with these professionals can lead to valuable opportunities.

Audience Responds to Chef Dan Barber's Statements
Will Allen, CEO and founder of Growing Power. (photo: Growing Power/Flickr)
A movement starting with elites. Conflating the lower Hudson Valley and New England. Vegetarians have "blood on their hands." Our show with chef Dan Barber clearly touched some nerves judging from listeners' passionate responses, especially about Barber's unapologetic answer to an audience question about the local food movement's elitist underpinnings:
"I sound often defensive when I answer this because I feel defensive — it has been a movement that's pretty much started with the people who can afford to pay for this kind of food. Do I think that's unfortunate? I really don't because, again, you mention Michael Pollan who's on my mind now, but he often says that a lot of great movements in this country, including women's suffrage, including the civil rights movement, started with elites and ended up becoming mass movements through powerful ideas. There's nothing wrong with that. It takes a long time, especially in America, generally a generation. But those ideas can be quite powerful if they come in that sense from the top."
Reverend Jeremy McCleod in Ferndale, Michigan says that there's a bigger story to tell about people living on the economic margins who are actively reinventing the local food landscape:
"Barber's work seems not depend on touching the needs of communities of poverty and he even makes a case for a kind of trickle-down development of good ideas by elites becoming useful for others. I found myself wanting to hear, from Dan or from Krista, recognition that it's not only the world's elites who are rocking the food world's assumptions and consumptions."
McCleod and other listeners shared examples of thriving urban agriculture projects in Denver, Chicago, and Milwaukee, citing Will Allen and his organization Growing Power. A former NBA player and a 2008 MacArthur Fellow, Allen inspires several listeners with his work transforming blighted urban spaces into thriving organic farms that provide practical, nutritious sustenance and job training to local residents. We discussed him as a possible conversation partner for Krista when we were planning the "Mindful Eating" event in Indianapolis.
Another listener from Muskegon, Michigan passed along a story about hobby gardeners in Newaygo County, Michigan who supply a local food pantry with 8,000 pounds of produce each year just by planting an extra row of seeds in their gardens. Here, quality food, grown locally, is made accessible to people who ordinarily couldn't afford to purchase it off the shelf.
Others wrote about the tough economic realities faced by small family farmers who can't compete with large agribusinesses and how U.S. agricultural policy undermines local food efforts. To our surprise, several people challenged Barber's characterization of Blue Hill at Stone Barns as being based in New England (it's in Westchester County).
What's happening in your backyard that's resonant with these examples of local food that's accessible to us all? And what from the Barber show struck a nerve with you?

PITTSBURG -- Middletown High School wrestlers Maria Castaldo, Sierra Egger and Jessie Flynn reached the semifinals on Friday at the North Coast Section Wrestling Girls' Championships in Pittsburg.
Six other Lake County wrestlers -- three from Middletown and three from Kelseyville -- are still alive in the consolation bracket and can guarantee themselves a medal, awarded to the top eight in each weight class, by winning their first match today as the tournament wraps up at Pittsburg High School. The top three finishers move on to the CIF State Championships on Feb. 22-23 in Lemoore.
Castaldo, last year's section champion at 100 pounds as a junior, drew a first-round bye at 103 pounds before pinning Luz Garcia of Pittsburg in the first round. She'll face Talissa Noriega of James Logan High School today in the semifinals.
Egger, last year's section runner-up at 105 pounds, also drew a first-round bye at 108 pounds before winning a wild 9-8 decision against Nicole Mattz in the quarterfinals. The No. 2-seeded Egger draws Mariah Damaso of Irvingtion in today's semifinals.
Flynn received a first-round bye in the 165-pound bracket before pinning Jackie Gomez of Pittsburg in the first round. Her opponent in today's semifinals is Courtney Rouse of Antioch.
In the consolation bracket, Middletown's BriAnne Nelson (114 pounds) was pinned in her first match by Isela Hamill of James Logan. Nelson received a bye in the first round of the consolation bracket and must beat Selena Huerta of Fortuna today in her first match to stay alive in the tournament.
Middletown's Karen Castella-nos (118 pounds) received a first-round bye before losing an 8-0 major decision to Inka Le Prince of Washington High School. Castellanos had a bye in the consolation bracket and needs a win today in her first match against an opponent to be determined to keep her medal hopes alive.
Also for the Mustangs, Vansessa Tacla (132 pounds) is 1-1 through Friday's action. She lost by pin in her first match but bounced back with a first-round pin against Gloria Aguilera. Tacla opens today with a consolation match against Felicianna Marquez of Castro Valley.
The Kelseyville Knights have three wrestlers remaining in the field -- Juliette Brown at 98 pounds, Nicole Pagan at 126 pounds and Evelyn Santiago at 189 pounds.
Brown beat Ireri Morales of Albany by 11-1 major decision in her first match before losing by first-round pin to No. 1 seed Hayley Aguilar of James Logan in the quarterfinals. Brown faces Alaina Arroyo of Douglass in her first consolation match today.
Pagan lost by second-round pin to Irene Robles of Irvington in her first match. She received a bye in the first round of the consolation bracket and returns to the mat today to take on Shayla Hill of Castro Valley.
Santiago dropped a 7-4 decision to Jennifer Kalra of James Logan in a first-round match. Like teammate Pagan, she received a bye in the first round of the consolation bracket and returns to action today against Lexus Bynum Banks of Pittsburg.

BOSTON - When it comes to the mask Clippers guard Jamal Crawford wore Sunday to protect his fractured nose against the Boston Celtics, this wasn't the case of modern medicine or technology ruling the day.
Just an example of good old-fashioned ingenuity.
It wasn't on par with the NASA control room devising instruments on the fly to help get Apollo 13 home safely, but Clippers trainer Jason Powell deserves plenty of credit for coming up with the contraption that allowed Crawford to play Sunday with some peace of mind.
"He made it out of scratch," marveled Crawford, who was so unsure he'd come up with suitable protection it wasn't until he arrived at the arena Sunday before he decided if he could play or not.
That he did is a tribute to Powell, the longtime Clippers trainer who built the face mask between practice Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
With the game falling on a weekend and Crawford fracturing his nose Friday in Toronto, there was little time or opportunity to seek out professional help from a medical supply company. That meant Powell and Crawford had to put their heads together to come up with a gadget that protected Crawford's nose but also provided ample breathing room and did not distract him from playing basketball.
The final result was something straight out of Hannibal Lecter and "Silence of the Lambs," but it did the job and that's all that counts.
"I've never had anything on my face before, but it feels OK. Jason did a great job," Crawford said.
Crawford was skeptical based on what he was working with the previous night.
"We were messing around with stuff last night and I didn't have this," Crawford said, pointing to the face mask. "I can show you pictures of the other stuff, but it didn't look like this."
By the time he arrived Sunday at TD Garden, though, the new and improved mask was at his locker ready for us. Thanks to Powell, of course.
"He's gifted," Crawford said.
Not that it lasted long. Crawford ditched the mask by the second quarter.
"It felt kind of funny," he said.
When Crawford was called for an offensive foul with 26.6 seconds remaining and the Clippers trailing the Celtics by two, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro had a big question on his hands.
Do you foul the Celtics early in their ensuing possession, put them at the free-throw line and try to extend the game that way, or do you defend the balance of the 24-second shot clock, force a miss, get the rebound and set yourself up for a last-second shot?
Del Negro chose not to foul, and the result was Paul Pierce dribbling out the balance of the shot clock and at the last possible moment stepping back from his defender and sinking a three-pointer to essentially put the Clippers away.
"I wouldn't have wanted to foul him there," Del Negro said. "You know, it was right on the number and we've done it both ways. If we get a stop there, three or four seconds to go we've got plenty of time, two-point game.
"If I was to do it I would have fouled Courtney Lee when he got the ball but you play the percentages. We went back and forth with it. We just felt we could get it down."
Paul still out
It wasn't official Sunday, but Del Negro did not sound optimistic Chris Paul would return tonight against the Washington Wizards.
The Clippers do think Paul will return at some point on their trip, with Wednesday's game at Orlando or Friday's in Miami the likeliest possibilities.

A culture and tourism working group, made up of businesses and organisations in Calne, has been given £3,000 for a community project.
The money, from the Department of Communities and Local Government, will be used for Our Place, which aims to improve life in the area.
It has targets including increasing footfall in the town to raising its profile as a place to visit by generating more events. Our Place has representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Heritage Centre, Rotary Club, Marden House and the Bowood estate.
Chairman Judy Edwards, of Calne Town Council, said: "This funding is all about putting the heart into Calne. We hope to involve the community as widely as possible, to get people involved and excited about this project.
"There is so much happening in Calne and the villages already and the idea of Our Place is to make sure that everybody knows that and celebrates it.
"In addition, we hope to introduce some new initiatives that place Calne firmly on the map".
The group will use the funding to take the project to the next stage, by organising events and recruiting more members.
It wants people who are specialists in leisure and tourism, or who are part of a community group not yet represented.
For more information, call (01249) 814000 or email email@example.com

Possibly the worst disc golf course I have even seen. It appears that each hole should be teed off from a single central location so after you start in the middle and play to the first hole, you walk back to the middle and play to the next basket counter clockwise of the first. There are no directions or arrows pointing to baskets and not all are visible from the tee off area. Also because the central location is in the middle of a grass field, teeing off is essentially the same for every hole.
OTOH if you are going there to practice, you are virtually guarantied to be the only disc golfer there. There are trees around the baskets so it does offer some putt and approach value. The downside is the that the grassy areas are used by groups of kids to play soccer so some places can't be used to practice at.
My recommendation is to drive to Las Cruses, which has a desert course. http://www.pdga.com/course_directory/co ... -state-dgc
Sometime in the past month someone has gone through and remarked the course so it is better for a first timer. Very few people play this course as well, though it is the "winter" right now (59 degrees and sunny). This map will also help greatly and I wish I had found it earlier. http://www.wisudg.com/images/mapNMSU.JPG

With the trade talk about Martin going on, I would love to see him be a Pacer.
Sean May is the throw in to make it work. Add in someone else that makes 1 mil or so. Stanco is the sweetener they won't be able to refuse
They do this cause Hibbert is a stud and Murph might be good in their system... at least I'm sure they like him more than I do, plus he saves them alot of dough as he comes off the books next year and Martin is tied into a longer deal. I suppose we could add Rush instead of Stanko if we had to, but I'd wanna keep one of Hibbert or Rush. Hibbert to me seems like he would be highly coveted around the league, as Rush is meh..
