Ok, Hicks asked me to run this for him this year (and I think that's fitting since I am the one that basically started the conversation about having them here http://pacersdigest.com/showthread.p...t=forum+awards) and I think it's one of the most fun things we do over the summer while it's boring. But, I'm gonna start the discussion and nominations now because I've got a few ideas.

So that gives you an idea of the categories we've had over the years and here are the categories I think are the most essential:
MVP - Obviously, who do you think is the most important member of the board? Who has the most insight? Who always fosters lively discussion? Whose posts do you look forward to reading? This category is the most important one.
ROTY - I think this one is close to the top because it shows the direction of the forum. Which newcomer wowed you the most?
MagicRat Award - Shortening this one cuz everyone knows he's funny, so the award should just be his name. (same will go for Tbird.) Who provided the comic relief, who made you ? Who got you in trouble at work for laughing when you should be working?
T-Bird Award - Who provided the most keen eye when it came to in game situations and player breakdowns? Whose opinion on a player or a team do you trust the most?
Post More Often - This is less of an award and more of a plea from other posters. We like what you do, do more of it! It's still an honor to get though and I think maybe we should rename it. Any suggestions?
Darksider/Sunshiner/Moderate - Seperate categories, one explanation. Who were the leaders of their respective sides in debates? Who loved to love the Pacers/everything they do? Who loved to hate their direction? Who played the best Switzerland?
Best Foreigner/Best Non Pacer Fan - One is from a different country, and one is from another fan base, who were the best?
PPOTY/PTOTY - The best Pacers related post, and thread, respectively
OTPOTY/OTTOTY - The best OT post, and thread, respectively
Inessential awards
Best Debator - Unless everyone disagrees, I think this category can go. The Darksider/Sunshiner/Moderate awards cover this I think and generally one of those posters is arguing/debating the most.
Underrated Poster - I think this is covered by post more often. Once again, if I'm wrong or you really love this category, let me know.
MIPoster - This has been gone in recent years but generally it's kind of insulting since it implies you sucked as a poster before. Generally it awards posters that weren't quite MVP material but I think we have enough other awards for those posters.
Most Fanatical - I think is covered by Sunshiner.
Best couple - doesn't apply every year and is generally kind of a joke
Poster You Love to Hate - Covered by Darksider generally.
Possible New Awards:
There are a couple of awards I think would be interesting to add to the mix.
OTMVP - This is the best poster that keeps discussion lively in the other boards. Who gives us insight into things besides the Pacers?
Draft King - Kind of a companion to TBird award (and one he could be eligible to win too) This poster keeps us updated on all things college basketball and keeps us informed on who the Pacers/rest of the NBA, should/will pick.
I'd also be interested in any suggestions for new awards or tweaks for old awards anyone has!
Post in the thread with nominations for the different categories, suggestions for new categories or tweaks for old, and thoughts about the awards in general!

The Future That Never Was: Pictures from the Past
Popular Mechanics is in the business of predicting. Whether it's tech trends, concept cars or tomorrow's top science, we have been looking forward on the printed page throughout our 100-plus-year history. And it's not always accurate.
When Popular Mechanics magazine launched in 1902, it seemed almost impossible for our editors and writers to imagine what 2010 might look like, but that didn't stop them from trying. Since then, we've published countless predictions of scientists, inventors, and other visionaries as steam gave way to electricity, stone buildings were overshadowed by skyscrapers of concrete and steel, and advances in transportation and telecommunications seemed to shrink the world.
Now we live in an era we're used to thinking of as "the future." Though we still lack flying cars and jet packs (as predicted in 1928 and 1964), our clothes are made of milk (as we forecast in 1929), our foods are fortified with grass (1940), and our mail is sorted by robots and delivered by airplane (though perhaps not the way we anticipated in 1921). Surrounded by wonders and a fast-evolving culture of innovation, it's just as challenging today for us to imagine the next century as it must have been for our early 20th century colleagues to envision the fabled year 2000.
So we decided it was high time to take a look back at the predictions of the past, not only to score them on accuracy (some are shockingly prescient, some hilariously wrong) but also to pay tribute to the inventiveness of the past. We hope this collection of articles and essays, which first appeared in Popular Mechanics between 1903 and 1969, will inspire fabulous new visions as well as recalling the sense of wonder that previous generations of readers felt when they craned their necks at the first skyscrapers, read about the first heart transplant, and watched the first man walk on the moon. Power up your personal helicopter and join us on a glorious adventure in the many wonderful worlds of tomorrow.

Insurance Australia Group will sell its ailing UK assets, and expects to make a loss of $240 million on the transaction.
The company, which owns the CGU and NRMA Insurance brands in Australia, has been reviewing its operations in the UK for months.
They posted a loss of $13 million in the 2011/12 year, and IAG wrote down the their value by $297 million in the same period.
The company has agreed to sell its Equity Red Star insurance business, the fifth largest motor insurer in the UK, to a private equity firm, for STG87 million ($A133.95 million), it said on Friday.
IAG's commercial insurance broker Independent Commercial Brokers will be sold to a consortium led by its existing management team, with the details still to be confirmed.
IAG expects to incur a loss of $240 million on its UK businesses in the 2012/13 year, it said.
"We believe the sale option delivers the best available outcome for IAG shareholders, particularly in light of the continuing challenging economic and industry conditions in the UK market," managing director Mike Wilkins said in a statement.

People from all over the world are exploring their city, towns, and communities to locate murals to help archive and preserve murals. It is your chance to become mural locator. Mural locating or as some call mural hunting is a fun activity.
Locating wall paintings on community buildings help raise the profile of the community and helps promotes the artist.Volunteer mural locators don't need any formal qualifications, just a genuine passion for appreciating murals.
1. Explorer a city or town for murals.
2. Take a really clear photo of the mural.
3. Document the street address or geo-location of the mural. Also document the artist information, and description.
4. Upload your mural photo and information to mural locator by filling out the simple form.
Mural Locator provides volunteers with a simple form to complete for submitting murals.
Click here to fill out the form to submit a mural.
Another great way to support murals in your community is to join community partners or art organizations to paint murals.
Murals are important in that they bring art into the public sphere. Murals can have a dramatic impact whether consciously or subconsciously on the attitudes of passers by, when they are added to areas where people live and work. It can also be argued that the presence of large, public murals can add aesthetic improvement to the daily lives of residents.
Painting a mural requires a great deal of preparation, equipment, and effort, but few artforms can be presented on a similar scale. Planning and attention to detail will help you succeed if you face these challenges.

USC might be a 13-point favorite over Utah, but Thursday's game is a rare occasion in which the Trojans do not field the game's top NFL prospect.
Some mock drafts list Utah defensive lineman Star Lotulelei as the No. 1 pick in April, and USC coach Lane Kiffin did not discount that assessment.
"He's really improved," Kiffin said. "It's a different guy (from last year). He can take over games if you let him. You have to deal with him on every play. Even if he's not making plays, he's getting penetration."
If USC center Khaled Holmes overcomes a sprained ankle, he and Lotulelei could be the game's biggest matchup.
"If it actually comes to fruition," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said, it is "maybe the best center in the league against maybe the best nose guard in the country. And maybe Holmes is the best center in the country."
Center of attention
Kiffin did not say if Holmes would play this week, although Holmes attended practice. But he reiterated Holmes' field presence.
"That position's so valuable for anybody," Kiffin said. "But our guy's so smart and does so many things, you sometimes forget about all the stuff that he does, until he wasn't there. Then you really notice it."
Senior Abe Markowitz is expected to start if Holmes does not play.
Still sore
The Stanford loss continues to be an after-practice topic for Kiffin.
"Everyone seems to forget we won our last game," he said Tuesday. "It is what it is. We've got to move on."
Nothing special
Right guard John Martinez is from Murray, Utah, but Kiffin said going home for the game is not an issue.
"We really downplay it," Kiffin said. "We just talk to him about doing his job."
Series first
USC and Utah have played 11 times, but this is the first time either team comes into the game ranked in the Associated Press top 25 poll. This is USC's first game against Utah in Salt Lake City since 1917. The last time the Utes beat USC in Utah was in 1915.

Fairfax County Refunds $171 Million of Bonds
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Feb. 14, 2003
Fairfax County Refunds $171 Million of Bonds
On Feb. 6 Fairfax County sold $171.165 million in Aaa/AAA/AAA-rated tax-free 10-year general obligation refunding bonds. The bonds were sold to Lehman Brothers at a true interest rate of 2.72 percent. This rate is naturally lower than the rates the county normally receives for 20-year debt due to the shorter maturities of the 1993, 1994 and 1995 bonds that were refunded. This interest rate is one of the lowest interest rates achieved by Fairfax County since the first AAA rating was awarded by Moody's Investors Service in 1975. The refunding will result in savings of approximately $12.8 million net present value of the bonds refunded.
The refunding bonds were sold to take advantage of current market conditions and low interest rates in order to refund outstanding bonds that have higher interest rates and are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturities. The refunding bonds will fund an escrow account and redeem the outstanding bond obligations at their earliest possible call dates. Including this refunding, the county has refunded more than $1.25 billion of the outstanding general obligation debt since 1989 for cumulative net present value savings of approximately $60 million.
The county received four bids for the bonds with a high bid of 2.74 percent. The closeness of the bids indicates the highly competitive nature and high quality of Fairfax County bonds in the market.
With this bond issue, Fairfax County maintains its status as a top rated issuer of tax-free securities from Moody's Investor Services, Standard and Poor's Corporation and Fitch Ratings. Fairfax County has the highest credit rating possible for a local government - Aaa from Moody's Investors Service Inc., AAA from Standard and Poor's Corporation and AAA from Fitch Ratings. Only nine states, 23 counties and 15 cities have Triple-A ratings from all three investor services. The credit ratings enable Fairfax County to sell bonds at favorable interest rates compared to those of municipalities not so rated, resulting in substantial savings for county taxpayers over the life of the bonds. Since 1978, the county has saved an estimated $173 million due to the benefits of the Triple-A rating. With the addition of the $60 million in savings from the various refunding sales, total savings are estimated at $233 million.

He takes the helm of Jupiter Medical Center's oncology program, which is recognized by the Commission on Cancer as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Center, an honor earned by just 25 percent of cancer centers the country.

Couris, President & CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. "By having one individual responsible for leading a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team of world-class physicians, we will elevate cancer care in South Florida, bringing an even higher degree of quality and patient satisfaction to our community."

By Lawrence Hardy
Three maps-- one of the nation, another of Europe, a third showing the entire world-- hang from the top of the blackboard of Evan Linhardt's social studies classroom at Woodrow Wilson High School in Camden, N.J.
A third-year teacher out of Syracuse University, Linhardt stands beside the maps and explains how the scale of each differs, depending on the size of the area depicted. Then he shows five ninth-graders, facing him in manila desk-chairs and bent over worksheets of their own, how to compute the distances between cities.
"So now we want to take our note card and see how many notches from London to Madrid," Linhardt says. "From the capital of England to the capital of Spain."
If this exercise seems more appropriate for fifth or sixth grade than ninth, it's important to note that all five students in Linhardt's class receive special education services. At Woodrow Wilson, one of two comprehensive high schools in New Jersey's poorest city, almost one out of every three students is classified as having special needs.
That's just one indication of the tremendous challenges Wilson faces, and it's emblematic of the problems confronting thousands of urban high schools that have long struggled to keep students from dropping out. Now these schools are under the spotlight as never before, their difficulties highlighted by the No Child Left Behind Act and further amplified by the Obama administration.

(Edit 2009: Kalyn's Kitchen is part of Holiday 2009 at Oprah.com, and this is one of the recipes being featured there, and also one of the Christmas Recipes on Kalyn's Kitchen. Welcome to anyone visiting from Oprah.com!)
I'm definitely not a baker, and if it wasn't cookie-eating season I might have given up on sugar-free almond cookies, since I had to make three versions of this cookie to get one I felt was good enough to share the recipe. First batch, completely delicious, but crumbled apart. as soon as you touched them. Second batch, stayed together, and tasted good, but the texture was a bit too cakey for what I wanted. Third batch (after I consulted my favorite gluten-free baking expert) nicely crisp and delicious.
Truthfully, I should call them "almost" sugar free, because adding 1 tablespoon of agave nectar improved the cookies a lot. The photos were not quite what I wanted, but ignore that and make these delicious cookies anyway.
Sugar-Free and Gluten-Free Triple Almond Cookies
(Makes about 24 small cookies, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from several recipes.)
2 eggs
1 cup granular Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener
1 T Agave Nectar (I used amber agave)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla (I used Mexican vanilla)
1/2 cup almond meal (if you don't have this, you can make your own by grinding almonds in the food processor until they're very finely ground)
1 cup almond butter (if the oil all rises to the top, I pour some of that out when I'm using nut butter for cookies)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds

Surgical and Anesthesia Complications
Physicians performing surgery or special procedures in the physician's office must report any incident related to surgery, special procedures or the administration of anesthesia
within the office which results in a patient death, transport of the patient to the hospital for
observation or treatment for a period in excess of 24 hours, or a complication or other untoward event. The report is to be made to the Executive Director of the Board. The Report should be made by telephone within 24 hours as well as mailed within seven days, using the form provided at http://www.njconsumeraffairs.com/bme/confidentrpt.pdf.

of any changes, additions or deletions pertaining to the following information as it was last provided by the licensee on the biennial license renewal form:
National Practitioner Data Bank - Adverse Clinical Privileges Actions
As defined in the National Practitioner Data Bank Guidebook, http://www.npdb-hipdb.com/npdbguidebook.html an adverse clinical privileges action is one that is "based on a physician's or dentist's professional competence or professional conduct that adversely affects, or could adversely affect, the health or welfare of a patient."
To be reportable, a privileges action must be related to the physician's professional competence or conduct in a way that adversely affects or could adversely affect the patient's health or welfare. The adverse clinical privileges action must be reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank if the privileges action lasts more than 30 days. An example would be the denial of a physician's application for privileges based on professional competence or professional conduct.
Note that not all actions affecting a physician's privileges are reportable to the National Practitioner Data Bank. Two examples of actions mentioned in the NPDB Guidebook that are NOT reportable include:

rumors that the J&C fired Washburn. if it's true then I'll actively boycott anything Gannett.
Should have happened a long time ago Henry did not fit what we had planned, hopefully he does good at safety... I bet he will get occasional looks at RB also...
Why so SERIOUS
Taylor Martinez is out tomorrow. Not that it'll likely make much difference.
Always nice when the game is over in the first quarter...
I can't even be bothered to get upset anymore, we're just really bad. start basketball season.
Heard a lot of good things out of the initial basketball practices. I think a couple fifth years will make a bigger difference than whatever points and rebounds they get. Sounds like guys are a little more focused and hard working.
I've seen a few clips and whatnot from the practices, they definitely look intense. Sporty Carter didn't have the best rep with Seattle U fans, they all thought he was a chucker. He may be, hope not, but we'll see. He looked pretty good in the stuff I saw, really aggressive.
Looks like Hummel made the TWolves. Budinger injury probably helped.
Never want to get too excited in the preseason, but it's hard not too. Liking what I'm seeing from the bball team though.
I, for one, am completely stunned that A.J. Hammons got suspended.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Hey checkout rivals.com for purdue, have video of a scrimmage and it is player specific, we have a good group this year, I am really impressed by many of them, Basil and Bryson really work well together... should have a strong bench this year even if it does consist of a ton of young guys.
Why so SERIOUS
As bad as things've been, I would take Purdue +31 at home
AJ's a dumbass. NBA teams, y'know, talk to your college coaches. It's apparently nothing legal or academic, so it's not that, but Jesus dude, get your **** together. How hard is it to get to practices and classes on time or whatever it is.
Also, Derek Willis is apparently killing it in the UK scrimmages. So that's cool.
My somewhat educated guess would be that it is a failed drug test.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Maybe, I wouldn't be shocked. Purdue has (had?) some of the most lenient athlete drug policies in the country. Just don't know if that'd fall into what Washburn said about it not being anything legal, probably not I guess. All Painter's said is it's "conduct" and that's it. I'm just going off last year when he was late for the team bus against Northwestern and Painter sat him for the first 5 minutes or whatever it was.
My guess, and it is just that, is based on other athletes who I know failed drug tests and received suspensions for "conduct" both at other institutions but more so than anything based on the fact that it was A.J. Hammons. Also, a failed drug test wouldn't actually be a legal matter. Truthfully, I'd rather it be a failed drug test than being late for practice or something of that sort.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I heard it was for missing too many classes.
Willis is a beast I remember when I saw him after he committed to Purdue, he was the best person on the floor every game of the tourney...
Why so SERIOUS
Did watch, and I wouldn't want to with the terrible student broadcasters, but the score was unimpressive.
I'm gonna catch the BTN replay (Friday at noon, heads up), but yeah, not impressed with a 7 point win against UIndy at Mackey, Hammons or no Hammons.
We're apparently wearing these against OSU on Saturday.
I dig em, always like matte colors on helmets. So our uniforms'll look good at least.
The railroad tracks is a nice touch.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
For a trainwreck of a program, it's appropriate.
Hey man, fuc...well, yeah.
Honestly I expected things to be bad this year. Hazell was put in a really tough spot with the schedule he inherited. But, my god, it's so much worse than I ever thought.
Yeah, I was thinking hey maybe we can backdoor our way into a Pizza Bowl or something. But I'd be pretty surprised if we win another game. I don't really know what to make of it, like 60% of the roster is underclassmen, but still. I'm not gonna get all up in arms really just because if I wanted to it's not like we're going to one and done a football coach, no sense in driving myself crazy. But man, we've not had encouraging results against...****, anyone really. The ND game was encouraging, then that went away quickly. Especially since ND isn't any good.

Weather concerns continued supporting the corn market Wednesday morning, but long-range weather forecasts released around noon suggested two weather systems could cross dry regions in Southern Brazil and Argentina next week, thereby potentially providing needed relief from current dryness. That very likely caused the late reversals suffered by the grain and soy complexes. Support associated with its 40 and 50-day moving averages (MAs) probably supported the March corn yesterday afternoon, but it apparently gave way in overnight trading. Technical factors seemed to undercut the market in early morning trading, since there little substantive news came to light. If bulls prove unable to halt the current slide quickly, March corn may test support around the psychologically important $7.00/bushel level in short order. March corn had slipped 4 cents to $7.16 3/4 per bushel in the early morning hours, while December fell 3 1/2 cent to $5.86 3/4.
The Wednesday afternoon shift in South American weather forecasts rather obviously undercut soybean futures as well. Indeed, given the widespread focus upon growing conditions in that region at this time, it would have been surprising if prices had not declined in response. The drop continued in Wednesday night trading, with Asian and European traders apparently having no wish to buck the short-term downtrend. However, while the overnight drop carried the nearby contract below its 40-day MA, it seemingly found support around the confluence of its 10 and 50-day MAs, which may bode well for the Chicago opening. March soybeans had fallen 12 1/4 cents to $14.24 3/4 in pre-dawn trading, while March soyoil dropped 0.33 cents to 51.70 cents/pound and March meal dipped $4.6 to $411.9/ton.
Although the Southern Plains region of the U.S. is expected to get little relief from the long-term dryness dominating weather conditions, wheat futures proved unable to fight the bearish tide that dragged corn and soybean prices downward Wednesday afternoon. That was also the case in electronic trading early Thursday morning, despite talk that severe Australian drought will undercut production prospects for its winter wheat crop to be planted in the second quarter. News that Japan had continued its recent wheat buying binge did not help much either. The March CBOT future may find support around its 20-day MA (at $7.67), but that seems a rather weak reed upon which to rely. March CBOT wheat had lost 3 1/4 cents to $7.71 1/2 as traders began arriving for the daily pit session, while March KCBT wheat slumped 4 cents at $8.26 1/4, as did March MGE futures at $8.56 1/2.
Bullish cattle traders are almost surely hoping for a quick CME futures rebound, especially when viewing the severity of the early-January breakdown. However, their plans were sabotaged again Wednesday, when the conflict over potential Russian restrictions upon U.S. red meat came to light once again. Russia has emerged as a large buyer of American beef, so any restrictions they might impose upon imports of U.S. product have the potential to undercut cattle prices somewhat. The situation was not helped by slipped wholesale prices again yesterday, or by news that a few fed cattle had changed hands at 122 cents/pound. That represents a steady-lower cash quote, which is hardly conducive to bullish futures ideas. Still, the fact that Chicago prices rose slightly Wednesday and again in overnight trading was rather impressive. February cattle seem set to begin the Thursday Chicago session 0.27 cents to 126.05 cents/pound, while April may open 0.12 cents higher at 130.57.
Talk that Russia may impose temporary restrictions on imports of U.S. meat due to the use of ractopamine depressed deferred CME lean hog futures Wednesday, which very likely reflects the fact that the growth promotant is widely used by the U.S. swine industry. Having the proposed ban delayed until early February seemed to leave the nearby February contract largely unaffected, with hopes for seasonal strength apparently supporting the nearby future. Sizeable cash gains, especially in the Western Corn Belt, as well as a modest afternoon rise in pork cutout appeared to boost futures again overnight. The fact that recent gains by the CME lean hog index have left the February future at a discount to the cash equivalent is almost surely providing support as well. February hogs advanced 0.52 cents to 86.50 cents/pound in overnight electronic trading, while June futures added 0.40 cents to 97.30.
Cotton futures posted another strong advance Thursday, which marked its seventh consecutive daily increase. Traders continue thinking the Chinese government inventories built up by their aggressive purchases of the past few months will not come back onto the market anytime soon, thereby rendering the short-term supply/demand situation quite tight. However, technical market aspects may come to the fore during the days ahead, due largely to the overbought nature of ICE futures at this point. That is, its 14-day RSI suggests March cotton is overbought. In addition, a candlestick chartist might easily construe its Wednesday price action as having formed a classic 'hanging man' reversal pattern. Thus, we would not be terribly surprised by a short-term setback. March cotton fell 0.42 cents to 80.06 cents/pound in overnight activity, while December slipped 0.08 cents to 79.69.

Topic: My husband died of cholangiocarcinoma
I just found this site and I am so thankful I did. My husband was only 52 when he died on April 8, 2007 - Easter Sunday. We were married for 33 years.
He was diagnosed on January 4, 2007. He only lived three months. Those three months were like living hell on earth.
He had a double lumin in his arm to be fed, he had a metal stent in his bile duct, he had two tubes draining from each side of the liver. In those three months he had every test available, and we were told he was a candidate for the whipple surgery. They said it had not spread. The surgery was to be 8 hours long. After an hour they came out and said it had gotten to his hepatic vein and aorta. Needless to say, my kids and I were devastated. He died five weeks later. Shortly before he died he was hospitalized because he couldn't breath. The cancer had gotten into his chest lymph nodes and were pressing on his lungs. I brought him home to die, that's what he wanted.
I am so lost, I don't know what to do or where to turn. This man was my best friend for 34 years, and I am so overwhelmed with grief.
Hopefully reading some of these messages will help me through and help me cope.
Every story on this board is so devastating, and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you who has lost someone to this vicious cancer. We aren't alone, although it feels that way sometimes.
I would love to hear anyone's story, if only to vent or talk.
Thank you for listening to my story.

Police are still trying to piece together the final days of a 41-year-old woman whose body was found at Mundaring Weir on Monday.
The death of Allyson Holloway, whose body was found by two men who had been four wheel driving in the area, is being treated as suspicious.
Detective Senior Sergeant John Hindriksen said there was no indication of violence on the woman's body and a preliminary examination had not been able to determine a possible cause of death.
He said police did not know how long Ms Holloway had been in the water for.
She had moved out of her house which she shared with her husband on Friday and was last seen on Saturday evening at a night spot in Fremantle.
The last confirmed sighting of Ms Holloway was about 11pm on Saturday, outside the Mojo's bar in North Fremantle.
She was carrying bags at the time and was moved on from the bar at the start of an event, for which she did not have a ticket.
Detective Senior Sergeant Hindriksen said police were not sure how Ms Holloway got be near Mundaring.
She was found in a remote location, nine kilometres from the main road, down a gravel track.
Her body was found partially submerged in a water catchment area that was fenced off but still accessible.
"We think she's had help getting to the location or she's died elsewhere and was taken to that location," he said.
A full post-mortem will be done on Thursday and police hope this will answer some of their questions.
Ms Holloway's husband has been questioned as part of the investigation.
She also had a 25-year-old daughter.
Police are asking anyone with any information relating to Ms Holloway's movements or who has any information that may assist police with their inquiries to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Ms Holloway was fair skinned, of slim build with blonde to light brown hair.
She was wearing dark coloured jeans and a white halter top with a black bra underneath.
A brown baseball cap with a Wild Turkey emblem was located near her.

Romero's struggles continue in the Minors
BOSTON -- Ricky Romero's stint with Triple-A Buffalo has gotten off to a rough start.
Toronto's former ace made his debut with the Bisons on Saturday night and saw his prolonged struggles on the mound continue. He surrendered six runs on 10 hits while walking five in 3 2/3 innings.
Romero's outing came just three days after he was optioned to the Minor Leagues on the heels of a disappointing outing versus Tampa Bay, and pitching coach Pete Walker believes the quick turnaround could have played a role.
"I think any time anybody has [gone] from the big leagues to the Minor Leagues, it's always a letdown," Walker said. "Those Triple-A hitters can swing the bat. I mean, there's a lot of good players down there, and I'm sure most Major Leaguers can attest to that.
"You think you can just go out there and do what you need to do, but they swing the bat, and they can put you in some tough situations."
For now the Blue Jays won't read too much into the results as they give Romero some time to adjust to his new surroundings. That will change in the near future as the club continues to evaluate his refined mechanics.
With the altered delivery, Romero is no longer bringing both hands above his head during the windup. He is attempting to pitch with a more direct line to the plate while also trying to stop throwing across his body as much as he did.
The changes have been described as relatively minor, but it's clearly taking some time for them to be properly implemented.
"No, they're not extreme," Walker said. "I mean, it's really direction. He's moved his foot in line to home plate about 12 to 14 inches over. It's an adjustment, but it's not like we're changing arm slot and changing major things.
"It's an undertaking, though, don't get me wrong. I still think it takes a lot of work and time. But I think, you know, he's made a commitment to it, and I think still in the long run, it's better for him. It's just a matter of him getting results."

White Sox send Putnam to DL, recall Rienzo
MINNEAPOLIS -- The White Sox kicked off a seven-day road trip against two American League Central foes in a less-than-optimal way Thursday, placing reliever Zach Putnam on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
Reliever Andre Rienzo was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to fill Putnam's spot on the roster, but not his role at the back end of the bullpen. Manager Robin Ventura said right-hander Jake Petricka is expected to get the first crack at any save opportunities that arise while Putnam is on the shelf.
Putnam was tagged with the loss against Kansas City on Wednesday when he entered a 1-1 game in the ninth inning and gave up an unearned run. Before that outing, he'd saved back-to-back wins over the Astros last Friday and Saturday. But Ventura didn't attribute Wednesday's loss to Putnam's injury.
"He'd been doing great," Ventura said. "Yesterday was just one of those days when they outlast you. I thought both pitchers [ Jose Quintana and the Royals' James Shields) were great, and Putnam, even in the last inning, he had a chance to get out of it without giving up a run. But you've got to figure out a way and move on."
Ventura categorized the injury as a minor one and indicated that he thought Putnam might not need the whole 15 days to recover. But in the best interests of a young pitcher, not to mention the rest of the bullpen, a trip to the DL was deemed the best option.
"It would've been really thin tonight to go out there and you're staying away from guys," Ventura said. "You're trying to get him healthy and make sure when they go back out there, they're 100 percent or as close to 100 percent as they can be."
Rienzo made 11 starts for the White Sox earlier this year, winning his first four decisions before dropping five straight starts between May 25 and June 21. After two bullpen outings, he was optioned to Charlotte on July 12 and went 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in two appearances -- one start - for the Knights. Rienzo joined the team in Minneapolis on Thursday and will be available to pitch if necessary.

A little birdie told me there may be a Doctor Who convention within GenCon next year
I was at GenCon this past weekend and Who North America (Doctor Who store in Indianapolis) is considering running a Doctor Who convention as a sub-convention within GenCon next year. They had a doctor (well he was dressed as several different doctors) and a cyberman at their booth which has half a tardis with doctor who music playing out of it (it is quite awesome).
Just wondering if anyone is interested in this, they are planning to get a few doctor who guests and have who programming throughout GenCon.

Robert Griffin III: 'My Relationship With God is My Most Important Influence' (Gospel Light Minute #51)
He went further to say, 'Whenever you can be a Christian and come to a Christian university like Baylor and make a difference like this whole football team has, it's great. [God] gives you the stage to make a difference and not to just talk about yourself, but lift Him up. There are a lot of different types of Christians everywhere, but my biggest thing is it's not our job to judge; it's just our job to go out, praise Him, let people know what He's doing, and let people follow if they want to. So I praise God, I thank him for everything. Purposefully, you live every day for Him, and when He gives you the opportunity to speak up for Him or to do something in His name, you do it." The young man that I am talking about is Robert Griffin III, better known as RG3.

Spend a buck to help a starving artist!

The marketing team at Monkeybars is to be commended. Because here I, a similarly starving artist (and *not* generally a purveyor of horror flicks) go! . . .ReplyDelete
Watched, was disturbed, enjoyed! It reminds me (and this is a compliment of the highest order) of an NPR Old Time Radio broadcast I heard a few years back. The plot is far different, but the tone made it stick with me til now, and I think your short will do the same. Kudos!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much! When writing the script for ETD, I kept thinking about the formula and pacing of the old Twilight Zone episodes - initial setup, growing tension, with a twist at the end, so that was definitely my intent.ReplyDelete

Drupal's Taxonomy feature has been extended with the Taxonomy CSV module to provide the ability to export vocabularies, which can then be imported to other sites. This is a tremendous time saver, especially for administrators who oversee multiple sites that need a similar information architecture structure.
Taxonomy CSV offers many different export options and requires different input for the types of vocabularies you are trying to export. Following is an example of a relatively simple, flat (non-hierarchical) vocabulary export:
Go to Admin menu > Content management > Taxonomy > CSV export.
In the 1. What do you want to export? fieldset, select the desired items you wish to export from the CSV format field. There are several options, some more complex than others. The Term names option is the default. Also select the vocabulary, or vocabularies, that you would like to export from the Vocabulary to export field.
The default settings in the 2. How do you want to format your CSV file? fieldset should suffice for most cases.
The 3. Advanced and specific options fieldset contains options that will allow you to affect the order that terms are output. The default settings should suffice unless a different order is preferred. When completed, click the Export button at the bottom of the page.
The screen will indicate that it is processing the data for a few seconds. When completed, a small status report with a yellow background will show at the top of the screen.
A file download dialog box will appear. Save the file to your computer.

Kim Kardashian "loves experimenting" with her hair looks, and now, it seems, she is moving on to trying out new makeup looks. The reality star posted this sinister picture on her website, where she appears pale with a dark lip and no eyebrows. Kim teamed up with her friend and makeup artist Troy Jensen to create a vampire-like look. "This look was inspired by Prada's fall 2009 runway show and it is so unlike anything I've ever done!" writes Kim. "Pretty creepy, right? I call this my Twilight look!" But don't worry, Kim didn't actually get rid of her eyebrows, Troy used an eyebrow concealing wax to hide them. Tell us: What do you think of Kim's Twilight look? Would you try it?
To achieve Kim's look, Troy started by covering the face with Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 in Porcelain and setting it with Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder. Next he dusted the pale complexion with Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Antiqua. For Kim's bold goth lips, Troy applied a Bobbi Brown clear lip balm, then using Bobbi Brown cream eyeliner for lip color, he filled in Kim's lips. To matte it out and give a hint of color, Troy added Bobbi Brown eggplant purple eyeshadow over the top. Check out Troy's blog here to get the scoop on all the products he used.

Chris Manresa stands 6 feet, 9 inches tall. He weighs 245 pounds, most of it sharply etched muscle.
"He's strong as an ox," said USD coach Bill Grier.
"We do these defensive drills, boxing out," said Toreros guard Cameron Miles. "And he just folds guys up, like lawn chairs. He just demolishes guys."
Yet despite the intimidating size and strength, Manresa admits he's frightened. Manresa and fellow seniors Ken Rancifer and Miles will play their final home game at noon today against Pepperdine.
Next week comes the WCC Tournament in Las Vegas. Then, barring a couple Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson upsets, Manresa's college career will be history.
"It's almost kind of scary," said Manresa, who's scheduled to graduate with a Sociology degree in May. "After this, there's no more structure. We're on our own going out in the real world. Four years, it's gone by like that."
For emphasis, Manresa supplied a loud snap of the fingers.
This is Grier's 22nd season coaching college basketball. Of Manresa, whom teammates call "Manny," Grier says, "He's as talented as any big kid I've coached and (Ronnie) Turiaf's been in the NBA (eight) years."
Sitting outside a campus dining hall on a cool evening, Manresa said, "That's a huge compliment."
But Grier also says of his big man, "He's an enigma."
In the first game of his college career, Manresa scored 10 points and yanked down five rebounds against Stanford. His average points and rebounds have increased each season, yet never with a huge spike.
Scoring: 5.4, 7.3, 8.8 and 9.0.
Rebounding: 4.0, 5.4, 5.9 and 6.6.
"He's had a lot of moments over the course of his four years where he's just kind of out there," Grier said. "He's not playing as hard as he's capable of playing."
Miles, one of Manresa's best friends, said, "I'm not sure he's completely comfortable being a star, having expectations on him. "
To push his teammate, Miles will sometimes jokingly goad Manresa, saying, "I feel like you just want to be a regular kid when you can be a superstar."
Manresa scored 19 points against Gonzaga and 18 vs. Oregon State this year. Then he failed to score at Saint Mary's and scored 5 and 2 points in other conference games.
After scoring 14 points in the season opener, Manresa missed the next seven games with a back injury. The Toreros were 2-5 during his absence.
"I'd say there are times I feel like the effort's there but maybe (teammates and coaches) don't see it because I can bring it to another level," Manresa said. "It's not like I'm out there purposely not trying."
Grier has probably spent more one-on-one time with Manresa than any player on the roster.
"I love the kid," said the head coach.
He has tried a number of tactics to push Manresa.
"I've been hard on him. I've been real positive. I've tried to leave him alone," said Grier, had a sports psychologist work with the forward.
Maybe Manresa simply fills Central Casting's role of the Gentle Giant. When Miles bought a puppy for his sister and the dog needed a home for three weeks before Miles shipped it to Dallas, Manresa kept the dog at his parents' Orange County home.
If a teammate forgets his wallet, Manresa often covers them.
"He's a real good young man with a gigantic heart," said Grier. "Sometimes, I think he's too nice. I often wonder if he even knows how good he can be."

Good Day
I'm Mahadevan from Malaysia and i need some information.
Thank you for your time
BlackBird wrote:Sorry Mahadevan but your question doesn't make much sense. Are you asking us how you can feed a statue? Or are you saying your mother lives in Thailand? You say your mother is a statue and has children?
We don't tend to feed statues in Buddhism. Sometimes we make offerings of flowers etc to Buddha statues, but most do not believe statue to be alive. The focus in Buddhism is more on meditation and putting an end to suffering than it is about worship of statues or gods.
In light of that I wonder if you might be better off posing your questions to fellow Hindus who share your beliefs

Like maybe at the Toys R Us .com website?
That is just a funky description for one of the first gen US connections.
I forgot which one.
Look at www.toysrus.com
then look up tamagotchi. I am sure you will find a picture there.
Or maybe at walmart.com
Posted 22 August 2004 - 02:16 AM ( #3 )
well, i think they would look the same... the clear stickers with images of random tamagotchi characters. my cousin gave me a nyrotchi stickie to stick on the back of my tama... but if i remember right, the adhesive isn't very strong and it'll eventually peel off. : (
but i dunno.

jeez! settle down, it just a frickin question u dont have to go all anal on me.
NO! I was the one to originally discover this and i posted it, what they are arre 6 new Connection desighns coming out september 1st, they do not have stuckers (well maybe) but thats a DESCRIPTION untill they get the final name like "lime green with matrix" when they say stickers it just means little painted on decals.

Posted 23 August 2004 - 11:26 AM ( #8 )
Edit: I looked up Tamagotchis on Amazon.com to make sure. All the new ones without pictures are labeled as "Stickers", which means it COULD be just the generic term for "some design that we haven't seen yet".
The confusing part is, they have a picture of both the silver and lavender ones and both of these have the same design. The silver is labeled "circles" and the lavender is labeled "stickers". o_o;;
And please, people, don't be rude when answering questions. -_-;;

TOM Heaton is ready to sink his teeth into a Premier League push, insisting: "We're hungry for games".
A Championship feast is on offer at Turf Moor tomorrow, when second meets fifth.
Burnley will be bidding to maintain their position in the automatic promotion places, and preserve a two-point gap over Derby County, who they host next week.
The Rams thrust themselves further into the mix by over-taking QPR in third with a midweek win over Sheffield Wednesday.
Increased congestion at the top end of the table means it is all to play for going into the last 15 games.
But goalkeeper Heaton insists they would not want it any other way.
"Bring on the games – that's the sort of mentality at the minute. And that's not just me, that's the general feel and consensus within the group," he said.
"There's been a great atmosphere.
"I've been at teams before when you get that sense of needing a break, or you start talking about holidays in January.
"In this place there's an appetite and a hunger for more. It's quite infectious really. It's great to be around, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it."
And Heaton insists Burnley, as a whole, are shaping up well for the fight.
"The second half of games are going to become vitally important, and we've got that in the locker.
"We're one of the fittest teams I've ever been involved in and I feel fantastic to be brutally honest.
"Other teams at this time of the year are starting to fade away a little bit or are just starting to feel the pinch. We're sort of going on strong, and stronger if anything," said the former Manchester United and Cardiff City stopper, who feels their stamina will bode well.
But the 27-year-old feels a strong mentality will become as important as their fitness, if not more so - particularly when it comes to not studying the league table and results elsewhere.
"Especially towards the back end of the season I think mental strength and mental toughness starts to become a big factor and how you can use that and not get distracted," he said.
"I'm trying our best not to look at the league table and other team's results as best I can.
"It's obviously difficult. I'm not going to lie.
"We know we're in a great position but it's about what you can control, what you can do. There's no point getting sidetracked with other things that aren't important.
"We've been really good at that so far this season, it's just important that we carry it on and not get sidetracked by other things going on that aren't in our control or in our focus.
"I think it's going to be vitally important that we stick to that."

BLACKBURN Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has stressed that Jake Kean remains a firm part of his plans – but he has not ruled out allowing one of his goalkeepers out on loan.
Kean had been a regular in the Rovers goal in the second half of last season and the early stages of the current campaign, but the 23-year-old lost his place to Simon Eastwood in December and has now slipped to third in the pecking order following Paul Robinson's return.
The impressive form of Robinson makes the former England keeper favourite to keep his place for the foreseeable future, so it is possible that Rovers could allow Kean or Eastwood to go on loan to get some much needed game time.
"We're blessed at the moment to have three goalkeepers really pushing each other to get that number one jersey," Bowyer said.
"With regards to one of them going on out on loan, that is something we would have to assess if there were any enquiries."
Bowyer, though, has insisted that Kean and Eastwood are both very much still in his long-term thoughts.
"We can't forget the importance Jake played to the team last season when he first burst in," said the Rovers boss.
"This season also I remember when he made a hell of save at home to Leeds United when it was still 0-0 and we won 1-0.
"We're blessed that we've got him. He's still only 22, he's a great size, people rightly still say he's still a young age to be a goalkeeper playing first-team football.
"He's a big asset to Blackburn Rovers and he provides competition for Robbo and Easty.
"Easty signed in the summer as a number three but he's worked tremendously hard and pushed on and he's played his part this season.
"You only have to look at the save he made at QPR to get us a point and who knows how important that point could be come the end of the season?"
Midfielder Corry Evans was included in Rovers' squad for their under 21 clash at Aston Villa last night, having previously lined up againsy Tottenham last week following a four-month lay-off with ankle ligament damage.
January signing Bryan Dabo and teenage ace Connor Mahoney were also selected to face Villa.

Engines — Richard

Diesels - Volvo Penta
|2002 Engine Preview
The 285-hp KAMD300 inboard (also offered as the KAD300 with stern drive) is a more powerful version of last year's 250-hp KAMD 44P EDC. Displacement of the in-line six (3.6 liters) is unchanged, as are weight (1,118 pounds) and rated speed (3800 rpm), so the only thing that has really changed is the name and the power density, which improves to 4.17 lbs/hp. Like its predecessor, the KAMD300 is an all-electronic engine and employs a combination of a supercharger and turbocharger to flatten the torque curve and improve low-end response. (757) 436-2800.
