WKU unveils program to encourage student-faculty collaborative research
|Date: Friday, January 13th, 2012
|Return to Archive
Undergraduate students at WKU can apply for a new award to facilitate student-faculty research.
Provost Gordon Emslie and Vice President for Research Gordon Baylis announced the program to stimulate student-faculty collaborative research programs at a meeting of deans and department heads.
All undergraduate students in good academic standing who have reached sophomore status or beyond will be able to apply for one of up to 100 awards per year.
The application consists of a brief discussion of the intended research project and plans for dissemination of results. It will be written jointly by the student and a faculty mentor. An award will consist of funds to support a student stipend and research expenses. Funds will also support travel to professional conferences for students and their faculty mentors to present and publish the results.
"We are very pleased to offer this opportunity to our students," Dr. Emslie said. "We at WKU are immensely proud of our talented student body and of our faculty mentors. We hope that this financial support will not only encourage more students to team with faculty members in research activities, but also for that research to be disseminated at regional and national meetings, thus promoting the value of a WKU degree."
Dr. Baylis said research is a core element of a college education.
"This program showcases how our research mission is centered on our students, and how we are educating students to control their own destiny," he said. "In emphasizing student initiative, this program is a perfect complement to our student business accelerator program, in which students can commercialize their ideas in a closely mentored environment."
Applications will be accepted in March for summer/fall semesters and in October for the spring semester. Details on how to apply will be circulated on the campus in the next month or so.
Information and applications will be available from the Office of Academic Affairs and Office of Research websites.
Contact: Gordon Emslie, (270) 745-2297.

Thinkway Toys recently released a new-and-improved talking Buzz Lightyear action figure to go along with Toy Story 3, but way back in 1995 with the release of the original Toy Story, THIS was the hot money item. I know this because I put it upon myself to find one that year the day after Thanksgiving... on Black Friday. I was visiting relatives in Roanoke, Virginia and anyone familiar with the city knows it is primarily made up of restaurants and shopping malls. I hit every mall - three, I believe - and countless other retail outlets looking for this figure. Long story short, I eventually found the coveted talking Buzz Lightyear action figure that day. I also walked away with a very valuable life lesson: Never shop on Black Friday again.

National editor's pick of the top news stories in the nation and world at this hour:
Hillary Clinton angered by grilling at Benghazi hearing
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton clashed sharply Wednesday with a senator quizzing her on the shifting explanations for the reasons behind the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya. "The fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?" Clinton angrily asked Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., after they both interrupted each other several times. She said "people were trying in real time to get to the best information," and her focus is on improving security at U.S. embassies, not revisiting the flawed talking points used by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice in saying the attack arose from a protest. Asked if she had seen requests for beefed-up security before the attack, she said she had not. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., jumped on that response, saying if he had been president and learned that she hadn't read the cables from her Libyan ambassador, "I would have relieved you of your post." Clinton in turn chided the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and House Republicans, for not approving security funding that was requested.
Manti Te'o admits he lied about fake girlfriend
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, facing intense questions about whether he was in on the hoax in which his imaginary lover supposedly died, has admitted to Katie Couric that he lied in interviews after learning that she didn't exist. In comments to be broadcast Thursday on Couric's talk show, he says he was told and fully believed that his nonexistent girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, had died of cancer on Sept. 12. "Now I get a phone call on Dec. 6, saying that she's alive and then I'm going be put on national TV two days later," Te'o said. "And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?" (How about tell the truth?) Te'o went on to talk about his doomed soulmate in a Web interview on Dec. 8 and a newspaper interview published Dec. 10. The woman whose picture was used to represent Kekua, Diane O'Meara, told NBC's "Today" on Tuesday that the man behind the hoax, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, had confessed and apologized to her.
Netanyahu jolted by Israel's unexpected vote
A weakened Benjamin Netanyahu may be scrambling to keep his job as Israeli prime minister after elections Tuesday split seats in the Knesset 60-60 between his coalition and his rivals. Netanyahu's Likud Party won 31 seats, more than any other party, but less than expected. The biggest surprise winner was the new moderate party Yesh Atid ("There is a Future"), which had been expected to win a dozen seats but won 19. Its leader, Yair Lapid, is a former boxer, actor and journalist sometimes dubbed "the sexiest man in Israel," and he has said he would join a coalition government only if it drafts the ultra-Orthodox into the military, lowers the country's cost of living and returns to peace talks with the Palestinians. He has said he will not be a "fig leaf" for a hard-line agenda on peacemaking. "We have red lines," he said on television. "We won't cross those red lines, even if it will cost us sitting in the opposition." No party has ever won a majority of the 120 seats in the Knesset, forcing parties to form coalitions in order to govern.
Polar air plunges Midwest, Northeast into deep freeze
A polar air mass blamed for several deaths in the Midwest moved into the Northeast on Wednesday, and the National Weather Service was predicting wind chills as low as 45 below zero. The cold wave was expected to last through the weekend before the mercury rises again. In Frenchville, Maine, the owner of Dolly's Restaurant said customers were keeping their cars running in the parking lot while eating lunch, and he said even snowmobilers were staying home. "You take the wind chill at 39 below and take a snowmobile going 50 mph, and you're about double that. That's pretty cold," said Keith Pelletier. In Chicago, a huge warehouse fire that started Tuesday night kept firefighters on the job overnight, dousing hot spots -- and leaving behind a five-story building completely covered in ice.
Subway's footlongs aren't, suit says
It's not just a Facebook joke anymore, it's a lawsuit. Two New Jersey men have filed suit against the Subway sandwich chain, saying its so-called "footlong" sandwiches don't quite measure up. The suit, filed Tuesday in Mount Holly, claims that the sandwiches measure a bit less than 12 inches, and that Subway should either make them a foot long or stop advertising them as such. Stephen DeNittis, the lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he had sandwiches measured from 17 shops, and they all came up short. "The case is about holding companies to deliver what they've promised," he said. Last week an Australian man bought a "footlong" in Perth, then pulled out a tape measure and found it was only 11 inches. He posted a picture on Facebook with the words "subway pls respond." The picture quickly got over 100,000 "likes."

Our official NI-IndCom for Devicenet 2.1 Beta is now available from here: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/ind_comm/devicenet/2.1/
We added a NI-Dnet 1.x.x compatible API for Master/Scanner Support.
here are some known issues and things to keep in mind.
1. Support for LabVIEW 2009 or later only/ no C support.
2. Can not be installed with older NI-DNET 1.x drivers in parallel. That means you can only have 8532 boards in one system not both older Dnet cards and new 8532 boards !!
3. It will upgrade existing 2.x installations automatically.
4. Existing NI-DNET 1.x VIs should be loaded and function just fine without replacing anything manually.
5. Existing NI IndCom for Devicenet 2.x VIs should be loaded and function just fine without replacing anything manually.
6. There is currently no slave/device support available for the 8532 hardware, but we will add support in the near future.
7. As soon as we release the driver we will offer a C-Series cRIO module as well.
Please post your feedback/questions in this thread, so we keep it in one place.
We have a number of systems in the field that have PCI-DNET boards in them and would like to continue supporting those systems with updated LV executables. However, we would be planning that newer systems will have the 8532 boards so will need to install the 2.x driver. It is my understanding from the list of things to keep in mind that any executable we create with the development system having the 2.1 driver will not support the systems with the older cards? If this is true, then the only solution is to build two versions of the executables one with the DNET 1.x version driver installed on the development system, upgrade the driver on the development system and build a second one to support the 8532 boards? It sure would be nice if we didn't have to do this.
Hello dirk and Kyle203,
I have PCI 8532 devicenet card in my system, the test unit has devicent implemented in it,
to verify devicenet is working or not we check whether we can read Devicenet vendor id, I have downoaded the latest driver NI-IndComDNET2.1-Beta1.
Thanks for the new update. I developed a VI which is very similar to GetIdentityAttrs VI which is in Example.
Port opens fine, but I cannot see connection being established.I always get the error Error -1074388991 occurred at Get DeviceNet Attribute.vi
I know connections are proper and the Device MAC ID and speed too. Pls throw some light.'
Attached is the VI and error image
Thanks for posting the feedback. That is exactly what we are looking for so we can make the right adjustments to our driver release startegy.
For now yes you would have to make two executables. One for the old boards with the old driver and one with the new boards with the new driver.
Based on your feedback we will look into a way to cover both old and new boards. I will post again with more information on this.
04-04-2012 09:34 AM - edited 04-04-2012 09:35 AM
Hi systemcrash,
The error indicates a timeout situation. It looks like the new board needs a little longer to establish communication. Could you try increasing the "wait for state" timeout value to a value greater then 6000?
Even though time out value is set more than 10000 I am getting an time out error.
SInce the error out is connected to all the other VI's I am not able to close the port, and when i connect error constant for the close VI's I do get error object created is invalid. That is expected I think.
Any other suggestions Dirk?
Hi Dirk,
Any idea when the configurator will be available for the 8532? That would be really helpful during testing.
Hi systemcrash,
Your error screenshot indicates that you are having NI-DNET, NI CAN and the beta driver installed on the same machine. I have a slightly later version on my machine and can reproduce the timeout error if it is below 6000 ms.
But it goes away if I adjust it higher. This version did fix an issue with both drivers installed in parallel. Could you try uninstalling the NI-Dnet and NI-CAN driver?
Hi Kyle,
What are you using the configurator for? If it is just importing the EDS file and testing some parameters, that is available in LV project if you add the device and find slave devices, you can add an EDS file and use a testpanel tool with it.
Thanks for your inputs Dirk, I could able to read Vendor ID.
I do have a new problem which I have started in another thread. Pls do reply.

Our Thoughts
The Strength Speed Shop boot is a powerful tool with an aggressive rogue look.
It may look intimidating but don't let that fool you. The side zipper entry is ideal for quick on and off while the two adjustment straps keep the fit just right. Tall enough for proper ankle support and protection, the Speed Shop is equal parts function and bad boy style.

Mints, Gum, Candy — or Tobacco?
Youth advocate tells FDA panel of dangerous confusion on dissolvable products
Jan 20, 2012
Brightly colored packages for products labeled "fresh," "wintergreen" and "java" just aren't what they seem, youth tobacco-control advocate Judy Hou says.
"They're these little packages that you can stick in your pocket," says Hou. "They look like Tic Tacs."
In fact, they're dissolvable tobacco products, and the subject of Food and Drug Administration hearings this week on whether these new smokeless products and the marketing used to promote them appeal to kids and pose a public health threat.

Strong second half earns Rodriguez callup
BALTIMORE -- Only one of the Reds' 10 September callups was summoned from Double-A Pensacola, and at 22, outfielder Yorman Rodriguez is now the youngest player in the big league clubhouse. The organization felt that Rodriguez, Cincinnati's 12th-ranked prospect according to MLB.com, earned his promotion with strong second-half numbers.
"He's been hitting for a better average, more consistent at the plate," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Tuesday. "He's been showing some power and showing some of the skills we have seen periodically. Now he's showing it with more consistency.
"He went through some tough times, like a lot of their players did in the first part of that Double-A season, when their hitters really scuffled. He's one of those guys whose numbers aren't off the charts but if you look at the second half, they're a lot closer to the numbers that warrant a promotion or a September look than his overall body of work statistically."
Rodriguez was signed out of Venezuela in 2008 as a 16-year-old for a then-record $2.5 million. This season, he batted .262/.331/.389 with nine home runs, 40 RBIs, 47 walks and 117 strikeouts over 119 games for Pensacola.
"They said, 'Are you ready to go up?' I said, 'Oh man, thank you for that,'" said Rodriguez, who turned 22 on Aug. 15.
In 51 first-half games, Rodriguez batted .224 with two homers and 14 RBIs before improving to .291 with seven homers and 26 RBIs in 68 second-half games. He arrives to the big leagues on a roll of sorts after batting .294 with four homers and 12 RBIs before the promotion. He also drew 20 walks -- nearly half his season total -- compared to 29 strikeouts in a sign he's become more selective.
"If I saw a ball, I wouldn't swing. My second half, I looked for a good pitch every time," Rodriguez said. "In the second half, if I saw a ball inside, I didn't swing. I swung middle-away every time."

I was packing up my recording equipment after interviewing TV executive Susanne Daniels — for a different story — when she said, casually, "Have you ever noticed how there's never been a really great TV show about college?"
I looked at her. Then I started unpacking my equipment again. She had just offered me a story.
Daniels should know. She used to run the WB network, back when it aired one of the most successful college-themed shows, Felicity. And it's true. When you look at American shows set in college, as worthy as so many of them are, from A Different World to Community, none are major hits.
On the other hand, something about high school makes for great television, says Dan Berendsen. He has written and executive produced TV shows including Sabrina, The Teenage Witch and The Nine Lives of Chloe King.
Of high school, he says, "You feel like you're in that bubble forever. And it is a community with politics and cliques and ... " his voice tightens, " 'What if I'm not invited to that dance?' And everything is the most important thing."
High school is, in a word, epic.
"First boyfriend, first kiss, first big exam that we flunked," agrees Susanne Daniels, ruefully. When high school shows move to college, she says, it's risky. Glee is boldly making that move today. Other shows have stumbled during the college transition, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer all the way back to Happy Days.
Berendsen says TV storytelling benefits from high school students' fixed personas: jock; theater queen; nerd. It's hard to break out of labels in high school. In college, you can try on different identities. Who you are is more in flux.
"And it's not till you go back into the real world, after college, that you start to establish who you are," he observes. "Then you re-collect a family."
Berendsen created a hit for ABC Family called Baby Daddy, and he says the best shows are almost always about families — chosen, like the ones on Boston bar stools or sharing apartments in New York, or literal, like Everybody Loves Raymond, Modern Family, The Simpsons. It should be noted that when Homer Simpson went to college, it lasted only one episode.
Plenty of familiar shows will return with new episodes this fall. Among them, "Glee," now in its fourth season on Fox. This year the show makes a big leap, sending some of its main characters off to college. It's a tough transition for any show. As NPR's Neda Ulaby reports, plenty have tried before and flunked.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: Shows that take place in college just don't seem to work very well. You're probably thinking right now about counter examples. So let's get those out of the way. "The Big Bang Theory."
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 2: 9.8 meters per second, per second. So...
ULABY: Those guys aren't in college. They already have their doctorates. "Undeclared and Greek" did not last. Or, that "Cosby Show" spinoff, set at a historically black college.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 3: Even if you got A's in all of your finals. It still wouldn't be enough to pull your average up to maintain that engineering scholarship.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN 3: Well, who can keep a B-plus average and hold down a job...
ULABY: "A Different World" did fine on NBC, but it wasn't a monstrous hit, not compared to a lot of shows set in high school or just after college. What about "Community," NBC's scrappy comedy set at a community college? Great show, not remotely a hit. And even from the beginning, it modeled itself on a movie about high school students.
UNIDENDIFIED MAN 4: This is kind of like "Breakfast Club," huh?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN 5: This is getting way more like "Breakfast Club" now.
DANNY PUDI: (As Abed Nadir) The old man grabbed me, he said, hey smoke up Johnny. No Dad, what about you?
JOEL MCHALE: (As Jeff Winger) That actually was from "The Breakfast Club."
JUDD NELSON: (As John Bender) No, Dad, what about you?
ULABY: There's something about high school that makes for great television, says TV writer Dan Berendsen. Something about that Breafast Clubby essence of it.
DAN BERENDSEN: Everybody's locked in a building together all day long, going through the same experience. You feel like you're in that bubble forever and there's a community, and there's politics and there's cliques and what if I'm not invited to that dance? And everything's the most important thing.
ULABY: TV executive Susanne Daniels agrees. She used to run an entire network aimed at college-aged kids.
SUSANNE DANIELS: I have tried over the years to develop some college-based shows. And inevitably they don't really do well.
ULABY: Daniels ran the WB, back when it aired the show, "Felicity," about a curly-haired co-ed who follows her high school crush to the made up University of New York.
KERI RUSSELL: (As Felicity Porter) So did Robert Browning survive your withering critical assault?
SCOTT SPEEDMAN: (As Ben Covington) Barely. But, you know, I think my paper's pretty good.
RUSSELL: (As Felicity Porter) That's great. Every time I reread mine it makes less and less sense.
ULABY: Robert Browning. The glorious angst of Robert Browning cannot compare to the glorious angst and adolescent drama drenching high schools, says Susanne Daniels. Remember, she says, all those epic struggles against your parents, plus those high school firsts.
DANIELS: First boyfriend, first kiss, first big exam that we flunked.
ULABY: When a high school show, such as "Glee," moves to college, it's risky.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #4: Eyes on your paper, Puckerman.
ULABY: That transition is apparently harder for television shows than it is for kids in real life. When "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" went from high school to college, fans complained it was one of the weakest seasons. Same with shows ranging from "Veronica Mars" to "Happy Days."
RON HOWARD: (As Richie Cunningham) I'm in college now. Is it too much to ask to want to date college girls?
HENRY WINKLER: (As Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli) Well, that's your first mistake. You don't ask me - ask them.
ULABY: It helps in television storytelling that high schools students tend to have fixed personas - jock, theater queen, nerd. In college you can try on different identities. Who you are is more in flux, says TV writer Dan Berenson.
BERENDSEN: And it's not 'til you go back out into the real world after college that you start to establish who you're gonna be and then you recollect a family.
ULABY: Berenson created a hit for ABC Family called "Baby Daddy." And he says the best shows are about families, chosen or literal. "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Modern Family."
HOMER SIMPSON: Woo-hoo.
ULABY: "The Simpsons."
SIMPSON: I'm a college man. I am so smart, I am so smart. S-M-R-T. I mean S-M-A-R-T.
ULABY: "The Simpsons" was S-M-A-R-T. Homer's stint in college lasted only one episode. Neda Ulaby, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Before you get your heart set on a new mower, make sure you know what kind is best for your particular lawn and the pros and cons of each variety.
Which Lawn Is Right For You?
Before you get your heart set on a new mower, make sure you know what kind is best for your particular lawn and the pros and cons of each variety.More
When shopping for a new lawnmower, most homeowners consider price, brand, features, and sometimes even the dealer. But the most important factor in buying a mower is the type of lawn you have. Do you have a postage-stamp-size lot or an open expanse of lawn? Must you mow up and down hills, along fences, around flower beds, or between shrubs and trees? The size, shape, and topography of your property will influence which kind of mower suits you best.
The suggestions listed below can help narrow your search and steer you toward the best mower for your yard. Simply find the yard size that most closely matches your property and compare the options. Note that there is some overlap between mowers and size of lawns. (For example, a riding mower is appropriate for both medium and large yards.) And the prices given are simply ballpark ranges; you certainly could spend much more if you wanted.
Ballpark: $90-120
The old-fashioned kind of lawnmower that spins its set of metal blades as you push it along. With no engine, manual reel mowers are quiet, dependable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly. They cut grass cleanly and roll smoothly to give you fewer ragged brown tips, but you must walk briskly to get the best results. They tend to roll over tall weeds rather than cut them, though. A good choice for very small, flat yards.

Agriculture was the winner – and Chipotle the loser –of the best and worst advertising campaign selected by some of the advertising's top executives in a report from The Wall Street Journal.
Dodge Ram's "So God Made a Farmer" commercial easily topped the list as one of the best, being named as "Brilliantly and authentically executed."
"This is one of the most memorable, sharable and epic spots this year," said Brad Jakeman, president of PepsiCo Inc.'s global beverages group.
The commercial, which first aired during the Super Bowl, also was seen more than 22 million times online, generating a $1 million donation to the National FFA and raising awareness about the dedication and passion it takes to produce the nation's – and world's – food.
On the flip side, the industry insiders also named Chipotle's "Scarecrow" advertisement as one of the year's worst spots.
Chipotle's three-minute animated video took aim at the nation's food industry, and while the company has repeatedly said the film is meant to start a conversation about how food is produced.
However, to Jeff Goodby, co-founder of Omnicom Group Inc.'s Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, "Scarecrow" misses the mark. Instead of promoting Chipotle, it pushes a pro-vegetarian message.
"The films use vegetarian imagery to sell meat," Goodby said. "I come away thinking I shouldn't be eating meat at all, and I don't think that's their point."

Farmers agreed, pointing that the commercial showed the gap between urban-based advertising agencies, consumers and farmers. Click here to read some of the pro-agriculture comments left on Chipotle's Facebook page after the commercial was released in September 2013.

I have been doing sitting meditation for a good while now, but I feel I want to incorperate walking meditation into my practice more, as I hear that it has many benefits.
My meditation practice is to follow the breath around the tip of the nose, I use 'Bud-dho' to aid my concentration. I understand that in walking meditation you focus your attention on the soles of your feet as they touch the ground. Is it a standard practice to incorperate 'buddho' into walking meditation also? Currently I feel it may help as I find it difficult to focus my awareness, not having done a huge amount of walking meditation before.
Does anyone know of any useful tips, articles and what-not that might help me starting out walking meditation?
Many thanks

Lovers of photography and history will be in for a treat when Helston Folk Museum opens up its archives early next month.
The museum and Kestle Barton arts centre, based near Manaccan, have teamed up as part of a project called 'Tallys an Tir; Traditions & Stories of the Land'.
This is being led by the Cornish Audio Visual Archive, based on Penryn's Tremough Campus, with the aim of recording history for future generations.
On Saturday, February 2 the three organisations will be hosting a Memory Day, taking place at the museum in Church Street between 1pm and 5pm.
On display will be a range of archive photographs of the local area as well as agricultural photographs and objects from the museum's collections.
Sarah Chapman, who is heading up the project, said: "There are so many fantastic photographs within the museum's archives, it's great that we are able to open these up for people to explore.
"We invite people to come along and share their memories and stories with us over tea and cake."
The stories, memories and information collected during the Memory Day will become part of the wider project 'Tallys an Tir.'
This year-long project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and FEAST Cornwall, is working with people in the community and primary schools within five areas around Cornwall.
It is being done in collaboration with Kestle Barton, a centre for the arts above the Helford River, where a group of community members including farmers and artists will be working with the project team to capture stories, photographs and footage local to the area.
The project will end in a celebration and exhibition of collated material at Kestle Barton over the weekend of the August 31 and September 1.
To find out more about the project contact Sarah Chapman at firstname.lastname@example.com. To follow its progression and learn about forthcoming events in each area visit www.cornishstories.com

The Siren Depths, third in Nebula Award nominee Martha Wells' Books of the Raksura arc, follows series protagonist Moon as he attempts to settle quietly into his new role in the Indigo Cloud court. But with old enmities recurring, and another court attempting to claim Moon as their own, the quiet life may a long way off....
Voice actor Christopher Kipiniak turns in an impressive performance, his measured enunciation and pacing serving as a strong guide for listeners in Wells' new, fantastical, and intricately crafted world. There's action aplenty in this thrilling fantasy, but Kipiniak is especially adept at drawing out the deeper, darker questions that plague this troubled world.
All his life, Moon roamed the Three Worlds, a solitary wanderer forced to hide his true nature - until he was reunited with his own kind, the Raksura, and found a new life as consort to Jade, sister queen of the Indigo Cloud court. But now a rival court has laid claim to him, and Jade may or may not be willing to fight for him. Beset by doubts, Moon must travel in the company of strangers to a distant realm where he will finally face the forgotten secrets of his past, even as an old enemy returns with a vengeance. The Fell, a vicious race of shape-shifting predators, menaces groundlings and Raksura alike. Determined to crossbreed with the Raksura for arcane purposes, they are driven by an ancient voice that cries out from… The Siren Depths.
©2012 Martha Wells (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"I'm walking but I'm reading!"
"This series is the best!!!"
A return to The Three Worlds and the shape-shifting Raksura. The mystery of Moon's birth court is solved but not in a good way for the insecure Moon. Lots of angst, Jade and Stone plus The Fell reappear. Emotional and satisfying.
If you read the other two books, don't miss this one. :)
"Excellence in Worldbuilding"
I have recommended and will continue to recommend The Tales of the Raksura series but no one listens to me. Just in case, though... If you are looking for a series of fantasy novels that defy Tolkien-true tropes, this series for you. Set in the Three Worlds, a world whose geography and inhabitants are almost wholly unfamiliar from our own, Martha Wells' flying dragon shifters are so familiar to us because of their humanity. I love this series wholeheartedly. Start with The Could Roads. Our hero, Moon, doesn't even know what he is or where he's from. That's wonderful for the reader because we get to know the Raksura and the Three Worlds as Moon searches for a place to call home. Then, in the second novel, The Serpent Seas, Moon and members of the Indigo Cloud court have to fight to make their home safe and secure. This third novel very satisfactorily answers our remaining questions about who Moon really is and where he's from. It's lovely how the author turns traditional gender roles around and then has her characters subvert them some more. Brilliant.
I can't begin to choose. Okay, Moon first. He's prickly and prone to fighting and loyal and honorable. Then, Stone who is even more prickly, prone to fighting and is ancient, to boot.
When Malachite refers to Moon and Jade as children (even though she's telling them to shut up), I knew that she had accepted Jade as Moon's queen, even though it means he must leave her and his new found home.
"Moon's past catches up with him."
Throughout the first two books of this series, the lead character, Moon, has struggled to find his place within Raksuran society. After forty turns spent growing up amongst groundlings his re-integration into the world of the Raksuran has been an endless series of learning experiences. Moon has struggled to know what he wants at times but by the end of book two he becomes determined to make his place in the Indigo Cloud court work out for both him and them.
All of that gets tossed up in the air when his birth court finds out that he is alive and now Moon faces a threat of a different kind. Moon has never fit in anywhere all of his life and now he finds himself with reasons to fit in to multiple places. However, all is not what it seems at his birth court and an external threat by the dreaded Fell takes priority. Once again Moon finds himself in the thick of the conflict and he must battle his own feelings at the same time that he battles the Fell.
Moon's story comes full circle in The Siren Depths and Martha Wells fills in a lot of the blanks. Christopher Kipiniak delivers another excellent performance and this acts as a fitting end to a unique trilogy. All of the main story threads are tied together nicely and Moon's time as a solitary is certainly over.
"Great "Conclusion""
While the book leaves open possible opportunity for more (hopefully), it neatly closes most of the back-story elements of the 1st two books and even provides much of the pre-history that moved the 1st two books forward. The author manages to propel the characters into yet another new situation (this time more politically oriented initially) without loosing a step. I'm very impressed with the author's skills as she has managed to create 3 separate storylines in 3 books that are non-repetitive and leave you wishing for more.
"Wells needs to wright more on this story line"
Finally more of the culture is revealed. I just love this story. More must be made. This one focused more on the main characters culture which makes me happy.
"Really good listen"
All I can say if you liked the first two books you will really enjoy this part of series. Because it shows where Moon comes from and how previous events changed his life.
"Siren Depths"
I like the books in this series and hope that there are more. It is a different type of other world and quite interesting.
"Excellent story and narration"
I read the books, and now the Audible versions. I recommend all Martha Wells work!
"excellent follow up and ties up a lot of loose end"
this story wraps up a lot of loose ends and offers incite into the history of moon and the fell. prepare yourself for an emotional roller-coaster ride as as moon battles with his past and his future.
"It's over?"
I love this story. It completes the series and the main characters story and you are left with that sense of accomplishment. However I am now left wondering what more is there to the Raksura world. Is this the last we will see of Moon, Jade, Stone and all the other characters I've grown to love over these three books.
I guess I can always go back a start at the beginning again and again.
"Fun series"
Unique world and characters... Enjoyed listening! Last book got me through a few flights. Recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy.

The first miracle came as Jim Grasse lay unconscious on a Florida street, choking on his own tongue.
Then 60 years old in 2002, Grasse had been out for his usual morning bike ride. He had been exercising nearly every day for 40 years, and there was nothing abnormal about this particular April day. The sun shined bright, and Grasse had dismounted his bicycle to cross the street. That's the last thing he remembers before waking up in a hospital recovery room.
But a lot happened in between. Including a couple of miracles that Grasse believes God influenced.
The second miracle was that a physician witnessed the crash. That wouldn't have been so out of the ordinary and might border on coincidental except for the fact that the physician had no business being at the crash site, Grasse says. The physician's wife was usually the one to drive their daughter to school. But, for whatever reason, the physician, a Green Beret medic, happened to be at the intersection as a teenager driving a speeding car crashed into Grasse, hurling him 100 feet through the air.
After impact, Grasse's tongue relaxed enough to block his airway, which is why he passed out. It was not because he wasn't wearing a helmet, which could be considered the third miracle.
"I didn't have a helmet on," Grasse says. "My head hit the windshield and I had no brain damage or anything like that. I did have a small cut on my head as a result of hitting the windshield, but that was it."
The physician who saw the crash was able to move Grasse's tongue and keep him alive until an ambulance arrived, says Grasse's eventual occupational therapist Kimberly Twiss, MHS, OT/L.
Still, things weren't looking good for Grasse. He had compound fractures in both his lower extremities and a nonunion break in one leg, meaning his lower leg was essentially dangling free. Grasse also had a severe right upper-extremity fracture and six broken ribs, Twiss says.
But the fourth miracle came in the emergency room. And if it hadn't come, Grasse is convinced he'd be dead. The miracle was that a renowned surgeon in Florida happened to be the one to care for Grasse that morning.
"With his reputation, and with his skill and everything, he doesn't work emergency room situations. But that day he was in the emergency room. So he tended to me and put me back together and everything."
After surgery, Grasse was in the hospital for 2 weeks before being transferred to a Genesis Rehabilitation Services clinic.
While there would eventually be one more miracle, the nonunion break unexpectedly reconnecting after Grasse's church prayed for it, soon only hard work in therapy would make the difference in his recovery.
When Twiss first met Grasse, she found a broken man—physically and emotionally. After all, not only was Grasse's mobility in question, so was his style. He was known for wearing a cowboy hat and matching boots. That was kind of his thing. But physicians told him that he might not be able to squeeze into cowboy boots ever again.
"He kind of had given up," Twiss says. "When you are so independent, you're a man who was riding a bike and engaged in society, very involved in his church, and then you hear you just can't do those things anymore I think it just crushed his spirit."
What didn't help, Twiss says, was that some disciplines of therapy believed they could be of no help to Grasse. If he couldn't move and stubbornly refused to try, what could they do? But occupational therapy was different.
"He was very limited with what he could do with his lower extremities, so really OT was the caring discipline," Twiss says. "The last thing anyone could do with this man was give up because you just saw huge potential. You are like, okay, wait a minute. If we give up now, this guy is going to give up. So I would make sure that we did a lot of things to work with what we could work with, some strategies for trying to be able to dress himself, trying to be able to take care of himself to figure out if he could seat himself with his left arm. We even worked on fine motor writing with his left hand."
Since Grasse couldn't use his legs, Twiss focused on what Grasse could do with his hands. For 4 weeks they worked on endurance and fine motor coordination in his left arm because his right arm was broken and the physicians weren't sure Grasse would ever regain function in it. If that was going to be the case, Twiss wanted to make sure Grasse could function by whatever other means were necessary.
Grasse says he can't specifically recall the differences between all the therapists who worked with him. But he recognizes that they helped. And one of the more powerful moments he recalls from therapy, a moment that changed his attitude, just happens to be a moment working with an OT.
"She was working with me on my hands. She would put playing cards on a table and I would have to try and pick one up, and I couldn't do it. She had coins on the table, and I couldn't pick those coins up, not to begin with. Having said that, she would catch me sliding the cards off the table and picking them up that way instead of picking them up straight off the table. She would call me Mr. Compensation," Grasse recalls. "When they would ask me to do something like that that I couldn't do, emotionally I would break down and cry, because I had been doing those things for my entire life. At that point in time, with the hand thing in particular, when I was pretty much down and out, I had a greater appreciation for people that are handicapped than I had before."
That realization motivated Grasse.
"I said, 'I am not going to live this way. Whatever it takes, that's what I am going to do.' So I started taking my rehab more seriously."
Twiss said OT provided confidence for Grasse because it forced him to actually accomplish tasks.
"OTs try to step back and look and say, 'You know, we are going to make you independent. Whether it may look funny to someone else, you are going to be able to do this,'" she says. "We are always trying to see what we can make of the situation instead of dealing with the consequences of the situation."
Grasse was in rehabilitation continually for 8 months. During that time there were lots of ups and downs. One major downer, Twiss recalls, was about 1 month after surgery when Grasse had his external fixators removed. He was thinking that day would be glorious, a surge toward independence. In reality, it was the opposite, a reminder of how far he still had to go.
"He was thinking 'I'll get these off, get ready to move again.' It's not that way when you are recovering. That's when it all starts because that's when you can do the next step. So basically we just continued to do things with him. He slowly got movement of his arms, we did a lot of range exercises. We had a lot of range to try to regain, because he had lost so much. We had a lot of strength to regain. Once his wrist started healing we were able to do a lot of trunk control," Twiss said.
Grasse's therapy team started calling him the Miracle Man because of how far and how quickly he'd come. Even still, physicians prognosticated that Grasse would remain in a wheelchair.
Then came July 4––Independence Day. Twiss had invited Grasse's family to come to the clinic to surprise him. It was this day that the therapy team had decided Grasse was ready to take his first steps.
"That was a real struggle. When I was lying in bed and they said, 'You are going to have to learn to walk all over again.' I said, 'How stupid is that? I know how to walk,'" Grasse recalls. "But it took every ounce of energy that I could muster in order to be able to do that. There was also a great feeling of exhilaration and accomplishment."
In November, Grasse was released from inpatient therapy.
"I put my cowboy boots on and walked out of there." The Miracle Man was still going. He signed up for a gym membership and continued his own therapy regimen. A decade later, he's back to working out 5 days a week.
"At this point in time if you look at me you would never know that I was in an accident, the kind of accident that I was in."
Of course, even the Miracle Man has a wife. And that wife has certain opinions about bikes.
"I ride my bike. But my wife told me that I go out of the subdivision that's grounds for divorce," he says with a laugh. "But I ride, it's not a problem. That first day I rode again? I didn't have any doubts or thoughts or anything like that. I just got on and away I went."

Produce suppliers claim Allens Inc. owes them more than $19 million under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, but the bankrupt company is objecting to $18.3 million of that amount, alleging suppliers did not follow proper procedures.
The canned food company based in Siloam Springs, Ark., filed for bankruptcy in October, listing total debts of between $100 million and $500 million and between 1,000 and 5,000 creditors, according to court records.
Of those creditors, 52 have filed PACA claims. Only two of the PACA claims remain unchallenged by Allens Inc. — a $122,600 claim by Kreider Foods Inc., Lancaster, Pa., and a $2,400 claim by Triple S Farms, Hydro, Okla.
A Feb. 11 hearing is set regarding Allens' objection to the $18.3 million in PACA claims it contends should be dismissed.
Chicago attorney Jason Klinowski is special PACA counsel for Allens Inc. in the bankruptcy case. His 54-page objection, filed Jan. 13, alleges that fresh produce suppliers failed to properly preserve their rights under PACA in a variety of ways.
There are 52 companies with a total of $19,172,855 in PACA claims filed in the Allens case. Allens listed 16 ways 50 of the companies allegedly failed to preserve their PACA protection, including:
- setting payment terms beyond the 30-day maximum set by PACA;
- charging interest in excess of the legal limit;
- charging for goods that don't qualify for PACA protection; and
- failing to deduct ancillary expenses such as transportation and fuel costs from PACA claims.
Klinowski said about $6.4 million of the objectionable claims relate to transportation costs and other ancillary expenses. The objection to those is based on a rarely used exception to the general rule that such expenses listed on the face of an invoice are entitled to PACA protection as a sum owing, the Chicago attorney said.
If a produce seller wants to recover ancillary costs as part of a PACA trust claim, Klinowski said there are two options.
"They can either specifically ask for those costs in a contract, or decline to enter into a pre-transaction agreement, and thus use invoices only to document the transaction," Klinowski said.
On the buy side of the industry, companies purchasing produce can limit their PACA trust liability by using a pre-transaction agreement for ancillary expenses, Klinowski said. Ancillary expenses billed in such a way must be paid, but they are not covered by PACA.

OK, you just can't make this stuff up. Wednesday night our governor, The Honorable Peter Shumiln, while tucked safely in his bed, heard noises in his backyard. He looked out and saw two mother bears and 2 cubs raiding his birdfeeder. Now, if there's such thing as a luxury, high end (maybe solid gold?) birdfeeder, this must have been it because the governor rushed outside in his bare feet to rescue it. He tried to scare the bears away. Apparently they were not frightened though… or amused.
He later told the local newspaper that "Vermont almost lost it's governor" and that he was within "three feet of getting 'arrrh,'" whatever 'arrh' is.
Now does this sound like a rational thing for a governor to do? Some fellow Vermonters don't think so and have submitted quite a few cracks about it on our local TV station's website, WCAX:
- Should have kept this little adventure to yourself, Gov. Especially the part about not being exactly dressed for an outdoor tangle with wildlife or in your words: "Real Vermont boys don't wear pajamas"
- Did this happen on April 1st (April Fools Day)?
- Was he wearing his superman pajama's while he did it?
- Who in their right mind chases after a group of bears??? Naked, no less!
- He isn't exempt from the law just because he is Governor.. take down your bird feeders…. the bears don't care who you are.
So if you're someone who lives in New York, Boston or another metropolitan place and you're coming to visit Vermont, the tip of the day is: "Don't Chase Bears Away From the Birdfeeder." But then, you already knew that.

Addingham Civic Society has warned villagers not to send petitions or comment on potential housing sites when they respond to Bradford Council's Local Plan consultation.
The society is advising residents opposing the 200-home housebuilding target set out in the draft Core Strategy of the Local Plan to make sure they read all guidance before making their response to the plan.
Although the Council originally suggested 400 homes should be built in Addingham in a previous draft of the Core Strategy, Addingham Civic Society says 200 is still too many.
In its newsletter, it says: "Building houses here will not help to meet the needs that the Council has identified and it will deliver housing that is in what is probably the most environmentally sensitive place in the district."
The society is advising people who formally comment on the strategy to point out contradictions, highlight where policies conflict, show where the numbers do not add up and indicate what has been missed out of the strategy.
Visit bradford.gov.uk/ldf for more details.
The group is also offering to help and advice to residents who are struggling to make their comments in the six-week consultation.

I just got back from a live show I performed in Denver, Colorado. I played the second day of a three day EBM, PowerNoise, Goth type Festival. Some of the other acts included Hocico, Phyclon Nine, Rome and Terrorfakt. I've never been to Denver before and overall it was a good experience. Denver is called the mile high city because it's exactly one mile higher than sea level. It has more sun than L.A. and the driving from the airport Denver looks like a desert with the giant Rocky Mountains off in the distance. The city's old area looks a bit like a cowboy town mixed with a Long Island N.Y. strip mall.
I decided to go early to the club (The Bar Standard) and hear some music. I was a bit disappointed. The bands and DJs before I played were all competent. Songs had beginnings, middles and ends. The live shows had scarred keyboard stands in front of patent leathered heavily made up freaks. The showman ship was there. They bands ran back and forth in front of the audience and the audience yelled on command. So what was the problem? It was all derivative, watered down, copy cat music. Each song had some elements of a once great song. The message was, "We sound like…" instead of "We are…!".
I know it's not just the EBM/goth scene that is suffering from this phenomena. One could argue all art is going through a similar type of troubled these days. All I can plead is for artists to find their own real voice based on their own real life actions. Don't try and be interesting. Be interesting and then afterward tell us about it. Those are the only stories, songs, paintings I want to hear!

Monitor refresh rate
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
(Redirected from Frequency)
!!! Warning! The info contained in this article pertains to older versions of MEPIS !!!
The information in this article pertains to SimplyMEPIS 3.4
If the desired refresh rate is not available in Settings -> Monitor&Display -> Refresh box then you need to add your monitor model in MEPIS X config utility (available in MEPIS System in older version and in MEPIS X-Windows Assistant for 6.5 and upper). After you save the change you need to restart KDE
If you don't find your monitor in that list you can do it manually by adding a correct MODELINE for your monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
- Calculate it using "gtf" utility. For example gtf 1280 1024 60 calculates the modeline for 1280x1024 at 60Hz. You could also use this online modeline calculator
- Open the file as root by typing kdesu kwrite /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Add the result in xorg.conf (delete the rest of MODELINES).
- You might need to add this option in Monitor section: Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
- Save file and restart KDE

Topic: Trying to decide on therapy
I am new to this discussion board. I was diagnosed with choloangiocarcinoma about 6 weeks ago. I had a resection of the common bile duct and gallbladder (EHCC). I have a T3N1 score. I have been given a recommendation for Gemzar/Cisplatin chemo and radiation with Xeloda and a recommendation for Gemzar/Xeloda chemo and radiation with Xeloda (SWOG Clinical Trial). I am interested in anyone's experience with either of these protocols.

The money will go for more mental health testing, more research of his military records and an analysis of the evidence from the crime scene. Sowell is facing the death penalty. He is accused of killing 11 women. The bodies were found at and around his home on Cleveland's east side. The case is already setting records for tax money allotted to the case.Sowell's trial is scheduled to start in June.

ALAMEDA — Though Wadi Foquin faces a bleak situation, the Palestinian village near Bethlehem is receiving help from various sources, including some from within Israel, said Rev. Michael Yoshii of the Buena Vista United Methodist Church, who is helping to spearhead the Campaign to Save Wadi Foquin.
"Israeli women have come to the village in support of women there," Yoshii said.
And despite the encroachment of the disputed Betar Illit settlement and the separation walls that have been — or are planned to be — built, Wadi Foquin has a history of peaceful coexistence with its Jewish neighbors.
"The village is located on the Green Line (the demarcation between Israel and its neighbors as per a 1949 agreement), and the neighbors on the other side (the Israel community of Tzur Hadassah, to the west of Wadi Foquin) have been neighbors for years," Yoshii said. "They have been supportive and have gotten along well."
For more information about the project, contact the Buena Vista United Methodist Church, 2311 Buena Vista Ave., Alameda, at 510-522-2688.
"To us, this is a humanitarian issue, not a political one," Yoshii said. "This is a subject of human rights that has to be addressed right now."

And what he cant do both? Hes done a lot harder things. And its kind of hard to attend a concert when your unemployed. I saved up so much money to have it get cancelled. I have every right to be pissed.
No he actually cannot do both. That's the problem or he would be. So you are mad you have money saved up and are unemployed. Didn't Ozzy actually just help you out? Now you have some money in your pocket. You could continue adding to that savings and get a VIP Package for Ozzfest 2012 and meet Ozzy and let him know how he burned you by playing his home turf this summer.

ya know, I passed up shows in Grand Rapids, Detroit and Moline on the last tour
because I didn't want to drive that far in the dead of winter to see Ozzy on a weekday
and that's the closest he got to Chicagoland. I'm not a happy tailgater (as in Alpine's parking lot)
with Ozzy in such good physical shape lately, I don't blame him for wanting to do
the European summer concert festival season. and I wouldn't blame him if he went
into hiding for a month after the tour is over.
I'm trying to give the guy a break, he's been on tour for a year and a half.
yeah, I'm pissed too, but don't kill the messenger.

I guess with the new album the UK would be deserving this summer since he rarely tours there. Alot of people are butt-hurt but they'll get over it.

At first when I read the news I was pissed off like Ibanez here, but hey, Ozzy is 62 and will be 63 at years end. He has not only carried the flag for metal he sewed and stitched the mofo with Sabbath. Let's take what Wizard said and save our money maybe and do the grand old meet and greet next year. I was planning on doing the lesser VIP this year with my buds. Now this gives us a whole year to save a grand a piece to have perhaps one last chance to meet the greatest ambassador to heavy metal and to enjoy a day full of great music. I'm sure Ozzy won't let us down next year. He will finish out Europe, rest up and come out strong in 2012. You guys have to know that his time is very limited now, and we should all enjoy it while it lasts. Who will be there to carry the flag when Ozzy's done, Metallica? Good luck with that. Charge $135 bucks for a nose bleed seat for the big 4. Ozzfest has 3-4 times as many bands and is usually about that price for center stage pit depending on the venue. Let's not forget how fan friendly the Osbourne's really are.

I have deffended ozzfest through some of the baddest times and now my ozzy/ozzfest fan meter has dropped to about less then half. I deffended ozzfest with Bruce Dickensons BS. When System Of A Down played ( I still do when it comes to that. I mean that was just wrong). Through the bad reviews of the freefest line up. The 1 day festival in 08. And even the first cancelation in 09. Hell even when they cancelled West Palm Beach FL OZZFEST in 04 because of the hurricanes (I lived there at the time) And ever since the VIP Package was launched I have been screwed out of it 1 way or another. And to finally have that ONE THOUSAND BUCKS (The most money I have ever had to my name) finally saved up for this 1 grand event. Then to have it pulled away from you FUCKING SUX!!! And in these tough economic times who knows if I will need that $1000 for an emergancy. As I said before I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE PISSED!!!!!!!

Yes that is my only disappointment that they didn't tell us sooner. I put a lot of my money aside to go VIP with some of my friends for Ozzfest all while missing out on maybe a trip to New York for the big 4 or even getting a very affordable Mayhem fest ticket. In some cities Mayhem tickets are still available but I'd have to travel. big 4 is charging $135 for an upper deck seat. That's pretty greedy and you know Metallica is the main one behind that. Kind of wish they were more like Sharon and Ozz. Ozzfests play to crowds of lesser numbers and they charge about that price for a main stage pit ticket. Man I'm really gonna miss Ozzfest this year. Let's hope they make 2012 a really great lineup!

Can't say it's a surprise that Ozzfest was cancelled this year. I saw him at the Gibson in February and the show was awesome. Actually, the pattern is pretty much repeated from the Black Rain tour. No Ozzfest is a drag, but it's cool that Ozzy's out as much as he is. I got to meet him and got a tattoo when he did the Scream signing at Amoeba records last year. I love Ozzy. I'll see him again the next time.

You guys had it coming. THANKS ALOT FOR LETTING US DOWN!!!! I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE PISSED OFF!!!!
So Ozzy being an artist from the UK has no right to tour Europe and play the festivals over there? He's fucked you over to play concerts where he is from? It definitely sucks that there is not an Ozzfest this summer but he never plays Europe in the summer so has he been fucking those fans over all these years? He'll be back for Ozzfest 2012 and hopefully you'll be able to enjoy an Ozzfest then. Ozzy did just do an entire US tour so everyone had the chance to see him this last year on his Scream tour.
It just does not make sence that he tells us that the reason for not doing OZZFEST is because he did a different tour. Why wouldn't he have skipped the regular tour and do the OZZFEST. OZZFEST is the bigger badder tour. Bring OZZFEST to Europe and make it a world tour... his only tour should be OZZFEST! I would go to an OZZFEST any time of the year and go miles and miles away because it is BADASS and I get to see a bunch of bands. Every year I brought a busload of people hundreds of miles to see this fest and experience this greatness. But his regular tour often doesn't come close enough and be a big enough event to me to be worth my while. Playing an OZZFEST makes it an experience that people love to go to for so many reasons and to me it seams like the ones in charge are not thinking of the opportunity they have to make OZZFEST outlive OZZY and carry on his name forever! He started something special that was a ritual for thousands of people at each venue and that ritual was OZZY and his fest! It brought so many people together to celebrate all that is metal! It was like Christmas for some... like church for others and OZZY was our pastor! Ozzy once said he hasn't made his "Sgt. Pepper" album... but he created a tour greater than any band has ever created and letting it die is wrong! Anytime OZZY hits the stage ANYWHERE it should be an OZZFEST and it should have been the longest running world tour with a new line-up each year, with enough regular breaks to keep him happy and enough dates to keep the fans happy and coming back for more! One year I cried for Ozzy and his wife real tears as I prayed for her recovery from cancer along with thousands of other fans at OZZFEST in Alpine Valley. I felt like we were all members of his family and wanted nothing more than for his family to get through it and really felt that we all helped him by being there that day. This was a real moment for so many people and we all loved Ozzy for coming out to play for us as his wife was kicking cancers ass and I really thought NOTHING would ever stop OZZFETS!

Sucks there's no Ozzfest this year, but oh well I have faith we'll see Ozzfest in full tour power in the near future.
If it doesn't happen then I'm sticking around til the day they close the site.

This is not a thread to tell people to calm down. However it is a thread designed to highlight whatever Brightside there is regarding the Pacers rough start.
These are the things I've noticed that should give us some hope:
1. The East is still wide open. The Bulls are only a game ahead with an unimpressive 4-3 record. Boston, another tem the Pacers are supposed to be battling it out for the second seed are 4-3 as well. Even the Heat have 2 losses. There's plenty of games left to be played. I don't think the Knicks will end the week undefeated and I don't think that the Bucks are the best team in the Central division either.
2. Hibbert has been terrible in the last 6 games and the Pacers still had a chance to win 3 of their 4 losses. Eventually he'll have a good stretch of games. He always goes through at least one slump each season. He's just decided to get have one at the start of the season this time.
3. All 4 losses have come on the road. 5 of their 7 games have been played on the road. Eventually they'll play 39 more games at home and I could see them winning at least 28-30 of those games. Also they were a good road team last year and they should be able to win at least 18-21 games on the road at the very least.
Those are the three that came to me today. What Brightside do you see?

Crockpot Chicken Tacos
Hubby got a new job (congrats Hubby!) and has been working a lot more to wrap up his old job and get the ball rolling with his new one. Because of that, I've been using the crockpot a lot more than usual. I've had this recipe saved for a while. Boy do we wish we had tried it before. The chicken is perfectly spiced and shreds apart so easily.
I served this chicken with some whole wheat tortillas, red onion, red bell peppers, and avocados.
Don't forget to enter in my 2nd blogiversary giveaway by midnight on August 13th!
Crockpot Chicken Tacos
2 1/2 Tbsp of homemade taco seasoning mix
15 oz low sodiumchicken broth
1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes and liquid
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Your favorite taco fixins
In a large bowl or measuring cup pour the chicken broth in, and use a fork to whisk in the taco seasoning mixture.
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Open the diced tomato can and pour all contents over the bottom of the slow cooker.
Lay the chicken breasts on top of the tomatoes and pour the broth/seasoning over that.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours- chicken should fork apart easily.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked chicken to a large bowl and use 2 forks to shred it up.
Use the slotted spoon to get all the diced tomatoes out of the slow cooker and add to the shredded chicken. Then grab a large cereal spoon and add about 4-6 spoon fulls of the liquid from the slow cooker to the shredded chicken bowl and stir it all up!

Thanks for posting the taco seasoning recipe. My husband and I make tacos all the time and were always buying those silly packets. Turns out we have all of the spices we need in our cupboard already! Looking forward to trying it!
Great idea. I tend to use the slow cooker more in cooler months, don't know why, but I think I'll try this – sure looks good.

A lot of people say that Libby, but I would argue that it's even better in the summer because it doesn't heat up your kitchen to cook dinner. We use ours about once a week.
Oh, man! That does look fantastic! I'm gonna give it a try as you were spot on with the 40clove garlic crockpot recipe!
Oops, congrats & good luck to your hubby!
Yum – everything is better when you make it yourself – even taco seasoning!
I love crockpot cooking!
This sounds really great! I am going to be using my crock pot a lot more as I get deeper into nursing school.
Also, did you get your new lens? That first picture is really great 🙂
