We bought 2 for our 2 master baths. I was a bit concerned about buying online sight unseen. As it turned out we love them! We also bought faucets that we are also thrilled with. Can't wait for the rooms to be completed.

Skip to comments.The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Posted on 04/02/2011 11:02:54 AM PDT by darkwing104
The Good News
On March 22 during a speech at the National Military Academy President Hamid Karzai announced that seven areas of Afghanistan will soon be under full Afghan Security control According to translation reported by the American Forces Press Service he said We know that the people of Afghanistan do not want the defense of their country to be on others, and also those who have helped us during the last 10 years cannot afford any more sacrifices for our security and defense.
He believes that Afghanistan should be run by Afghans.
For the first time in 40 years Afghans felt secure and confident to celebrate the Persian New Year Nowruz. in large public gatherings. Thanks to the Afghan National Security Forces the festival was held without incident. The celebration was an open display that the Afghans are starting to feel confident about their own security.
The Bad
Five soldiers from the 5th Stryker Brigade are being court-martialed for the senseless murder of five unarmed innocent civilians in the Kandahar province and drug use. The self-titled Kill Team would create a phony combat incident to justify killing randomly chosen Afghans. The soldiers would take trophy photographs to show off their crime.
The trials will be conducted at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State. One soldier already pled guilty in a pretrial agreement and was sentenced to 24 years. He will be called to testify against the other members of the Kill Team.

1) How many?..
2) Who are they?...
3) Are they future belligerents..?..
Trying to Make My Day? Been kinda Ugly over there. Bad has not been the word. Good News should be first, but I don't get much of that lately.
We put up with the same horses*** in Iraq. By April 2004, after a year of so in Iraq, nearly 100% of the hospitals were back up and seeing patients, children were back in school, some for the very first time, the infrastructure was about 80% restored, and lawlessness had been reduced to it's lowest levels in 5 years. And what did we hear from the worthless MSM? How many US Soldiers and Marines had been killed that week, how much the war was costing, how many innocent civilians has been killed, yadi yadi yadi.
You think the Media cares about civilians? Only if it makes them Money and you think I'm Ugly?
Hilary makes, even me, Good.

I will participate at the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP) pre-American Political Science Association (APSA) Annual convention workshop. The APSA itself will start in two days. It is my first conference on this side of the Atlantic , so it will be an occasion to know something more about the American Political Science Community – not a small one since about 8,000 people are expected! Having a look at the programme, I have to said that it is more broad and diverse than what my prejudices suggested to me. Interestingly for instance the APSA has a permanent African Politics group, and qualitative and multimethod research will be a prominent theme debated. It will be five intensive days for my brain! In the meantime, I am exercising my legs by biking on the Golden Gate Bridge!

If you know me or follow my Instagram you'll know I love my vintage bicycle. I don't have a whole shot of my bike from this weekend but I did snap parts of it.
I love the handle bars and the bell. The gears aren't much use though. I am constantly stuck in second gear which is impossible to cycle up hills so I have to push the bike up the hill till I get to the top and I can whizz down.
My helmet is not the most stylish but it protects my head so I'm not bothered. The sunglasses are stylish though.
I was trying to cycle to brockwell park but got a little lost along the way and ended up in Crystal Palace
Park, which to my delight was beautiful. My map may have got a little ripped along the journey.
During my getting lost I did stumble across this old New York Taxi, which is something you don't see at all in London. It would be really cool if it worked. There was another old car next to it, but that wasn't as impressive.
South East London is full of greenery which is great as Central London barely has any.
There were plenty of pretty flowers in the park too, some that looked like butterflies
Some that looked like roses, but weren't.
A pretty blue bush buzzing with bees
And a horse chestnut which looked like a candle
There is a boating lake at Crystal Palace that had a few ducks on it. It looked so pretty with the sunlight shining on it.
More beautiful scenery.
They also have dinosaurs on the lake, not sure why but it's pretty cool.
What do you like to do at the weekend? Have you ever been to Crystal Palace Park?

Aaron chose to treat his sister Lindsay and mom Daun to a half day of fishing. Lindsay was the first one that I met and immediately I felt comfortable that this trip was going to be fun. Aaron showed next and immediately cut a joke about his mom. Oh yeah! This is going to be fun even if we don't catch any fish. I met Daun last and I would happily adopt her as my second mom. This crew showed true family love the whole trip. Well, it was all fun and games until Aaron crop dusted Lindsay. Thats true brotherly love right there! Trying to make a longer story shorter these two young adults have yet to find their soul mates. I am not sure really why as they are both tons of fun. While Lindsay and Aaron were busy trying to out do the other. Daun was steadily putting fish in the boat. Duan caught four redfish around 25 inches and several flounder with 2 of them around 18 inches. Lindsay drilled a nice redfish and a keeper flounder along with a few shorts. Aaron brought up the rear with a nice red, but he may never live down the fact that he lost a nice flounder right at the boat. I am sure Lindsay will remind him many times for years to come. I really enjoyed my time on the water with these three. I hope we can make it happen again in the near furture. See ya on the water!

Remember When You Thought Flip Phones Were Cool?
How To Exploit The Power Of Nostalgia
"Wake up."
I opened my eyes and peered at the clock. It showed 4:48 AM. I knew what that meant
"I need you to take me to the airport. Uber won't be here until 5:26," my wife said.
"Okay. I'll be ready in five minutes."
We packed the car and raced to the airport.
I notice something interesting when I drive this early in the morning. The traffic lights flash yellow or red. They don't begin their normal behavior — red one side and green, yellow the other — until 6 AM.
The only time I see those flashing lights is when I rush to the airport for an early flight. It's a rare occurrence.
It always makes me feel nostalgic. Back when I was a sophomore in college, I had an early class. It was on the other side of campus so I had to drive. I'd always go through two intersections that had the flashing traffic lights. It signaled to me that most of the school was still in bed.
Twenty something years later I still think of my sophomore class whenever I see flashing traffic lights.
The Power Of Nostalgia
Somewhere in the confines of my brain, I forever associated flashing traffic lights with my college experience. It brings back fond memories of an earlier time. I know there were struggles. Reminiscing about the past is odd that way. We only remember the good parts.
Here's another secret about nostalgia. It's one of the most powerful bonding mechanisms for a writer, storyteller or presenter. It works especially well when you deal with a combative audience or an audience where you share nothing in common.
Four years ago, we moved into our new house. A few weeks later we needed tree maintenance. One of the workers noticed those old style television antennas stuck on top of a tree. It must have been there at least twenty or thirty years.
My neighbor across the street saw this play out. We hadn't yet exchanged more than a few sentences. He was 80 years old. We shared little in common.
When I walked across the street to explain he launched into a belly laugh. He told a lengthy story about when he removed his antenna in favor of cable. It was the only conversation we ever had before he sold the house.
Reminder Of Better Times
That's the power of using nostalgia to bond. It reminds everyone of better times. We think of the past as better than the present in the ways that matter most.
Here's a few examples of nostalgic openings to try out.
Remember when we thought flip phones were cool?
Remember when we only had three news channels?
Remember the sound from a dial up modem?
Nostalgia is a great tool for creatives or persuasive writers. I'm giving away two best guides on creativity and persuasive writing. Get yours here.

Thousands of fans have also sent their love and well wishes to new parents Cheryl and Liam
Former X Factor judge Cheryl, 33, and One Direction star boyfriend Liam Payne, 23, announced via Instagram on Saturday night that they welcomed a baby boy last week.
And celebrity pals were quick to send their well wishes by liking the post, which featured an adorable picture of proud dad Liam cradling his tiny newborn.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians Khloe Kardashian was among the first to like the post; she and Cheryl have always had a mutual appreciation.
Khloe, 31, once said of Chez: "Sometimes you meet people and you click instantly. Her beauty is more than skin deep… I love this lady's spirit"
And Cheryl gushed about Khloe in return, saying: "Sometimes in life you come across people you just connect with, that was exactly how I felt when I met Khloe… I felt I knew her already. She has such a big heart and a very special soul."
She also called Khloe a "special human being."
Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon added: "Congratulations darling, so happy for you both."
Cheryl's ex Girls Aloud co-star Nadine Coyle, who told her: "Congratulations Cheryl, I am so happy for you and your precious little boy and family. Sending you loads of love!
While fellow Girls Aloud star and close pal Kimberley Walsh left a string of love heart emojis and Rochelle Humes, Jessica Wright and more liked the post.
Cheryl's old X Factors pals were also out in force, with Reggie N Bollie, Lauren Platt and 4th Impact all sharing their excitement about the baby's arrival.
4th Impact tweeted: "Congratulations to our mentor/sister Cheryl and Liam. We miss you! God bless!"
Lauren added: "Huge congratulations to Cheryl and Liam on their beautiful baby boy."
Elsewhere, fellow mum, WAG Rebekah Vardy, reacted to the news by tweeting: "Congrats Cheryl and Liam on the birth of your baby boy. Get ready to be peed on… xx."
Liam Payne, meanwhile, got congratulatory messages on his post from a slew of pals including rapper Juicy J and DJ and producer Zedd.
There were also well wishes from the sister of his One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson and cousin of ex 1D star Zayn Malik.
Sasha Malik wrote: "So happy for Liam and Cheryl. Massive congratulations to them on the birth of their beautiful baby boy."
And Phoebe Tomlinson said: "Congratulations Liam and Cheryl on your new baby boy."
Popstar Cheryl told fans: "On Wednesday 22nd March Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy, weighing 7lb 9 and looking like a dream.
"Although he still doesn't have a name he is already stealing hearts. We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival.
"Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world. A day that now has a different meaning to me forever."
Liam added: "My close friends and family know there are very few times when I'm left speechless… wow!"I'm incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it's a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far.
"I'm completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she's really made my dreams come true. We haven't named him yet but he's already capturing hearts including mine. I feel very blessed.
"Happy Mother's Day everyone!"

Zyrusticae replied to Count Riario's topic in PvE DiscussionI only care about this stuff because I am fucking sick and tired of people shitting on BD and every single one of you people can go fuck yourselves. It's bad enough when you're wrong. When you're willfully spreading misinformation and giving people a hard time based on outdated, anecdotal bullshit, I can't respect any of that. Sick of that shit. Fuck 'em all.
Zyrusticae replied to GundamIt's topic in General DiscussionThere simply is no out-edging the Unfathomable Evil. She is simply the edgiest there is.
Zyrusticae replied to Zoyita's topic in General Discussion#1: Shin Gong. Nails the sexy scholarly look, and her story is pretty funny to boot. Also cheats and wears a male-only hairstyle, but apparently NCSoft allowed it. (Seriously, why is that hairstyle male-exclusive?) And while I'm at it, we have a severe lack of story-relevant female Lyn, so I'll take what I can damn well get! #2: Poharan. Self-explanatory. :embarrassed: #3 Junghado. He's sooo dreeaammyyy!! :love:
Zyrusticae replied to Deragoth's topic in Recent UpdatesWelp. Everything was running just fine until today too. Fuck Gameguard, and fuck the shitty company behind it, and fuck NCSoft for going with this useless piece of shit "software". No excuses. Can't play the bloody game through absolutely no fault of my own. Thanks a lot for nothing.
Zyrusticae replied to GundamIt's topic in General Discussion
Note that every class also has the benefit of HM skills and similar equipment on the KR servers. Personally, I think all claims of weak BD PvE DPS are bunk in the first place, so this sort of talk has no effect on me. I still have my experience of being the tank in 9/10 dungeons (on a class that is NOT DESIGNED FOR TANKING) telling me that, hey, I hit pretty fucking hard, you know. In fact, I'd love to see someone try to pull aggro from me with similar gear on a non-taunt build. Just try it and see.
Especially when nobody actually bothers timing these things out and completely ignores the complexities of chi management, attack speeds, and all the other untangibles that aren't explicitly listed on the skill pages...
Zyrusticae replied to Jin Ki's topic in General DiscussionWhy do people keep repeating this bullshit? Your cat replaces your i-frames. You can interrupt ANY COMBO so long as you don't moronically waste your CC abilities during their i-frames. The only time this doesn't work is when the enemy has a lot of AoE CC (see: KFM, Des). You can literally shut down any combo your opponent tries to start. It's utter madness. It's the absolute worst fucking thing trying to combo a summoner when they save their 2 for after I use blade draw and then force me to get out of draw stance to defend against cat CC. There is literally no way I can win that matchup as they've already nullified the grand majority of my damage output. Fuck this class. We have a lot of defense, but our CC is actually lower than most other classes besides Destroyer. I-frame our stun and pentaslash and our damage output pretty much goes down the toilet. Even our longest combo doesn't 100 -> 0, it's pathetic. KFM and Destroyer shit all over us in that regard.
Zyrusticae replied to Caolite's topic in PvE DiscussionOn this, I'm with Rhy. People just need to learn how to tank. There's no excuse for a KFM or BM not holding aggro (and especially no excuse for them not being the one to pull - seriously wtf, why am I always the one pulling? I AM NOT A TANK). If they refuse to tank, whatever, no biggie, I'll just keep on DPSing. As it turns out, in 99/100 PUGs I end up being the tank anyway, so fuck it. Let it happen. Just wanna get my dailies done anyway.
Zyrusticae replied to Count Riario's topic in PvE DiscussionI have no idea what's wrong with BD in KR. Over here, BD DPS is bonkers. Nuts. Completely out of whack. Higher than literally every other class bar FM (FM OP yo). As in, FM is the ONLY non-tank class that's pulled aggro from me on anything resembling a regular basis. Occasionally (VERY occasionally) an assassin gets it. NEVER seen a destro pull aggro on me. Not once since launch. Either all destros are bad or people just play up their potential way too much. (Do note that Destros do no damage during their grab, in stark contrast to BD which does massive damage instead.) Of course, I've also never had a KFM tank for some reason, so maybe everyone I've run into IS just plain bad. Sigh. The grab hitbox is annoying, but thankfully is only a problem with very specific enemies (*cough* spiders *coughcough*), which I imagine is also the reason they haven't bothered to fix it. Most bosses get lifted above the BD so that's not an issue. It may be that BD usefulness drops off with level. Right now, though, I just have absolutely no clue where people are coming from on this. I feel like BD is pretty OP if anything.
Don't get me wrong, that's not bad. But our AoE isn't even tied to a cd. It's literally infinitely spammable. Just a constant non-stop barrage of AoE damage. Singing Lark and Flicker can't even compare. Even throwing in Lightning Rod only makes it okay, not great (fun fact: Rolling Typhoon does as much damage instantly as Lightning Rod does over its entire duration). And our Lightning Draw is superior as well, particularly since our Flash Step is only limited by the amount of Lightning Focus and isn't limited to 3 in a row (with the BM version still being conditional on uninterrupted crits, I may add). BD AoE is, quite simply, kind of ridiculous. You could even say it's something of a specialty for the class.
Man, I am tired of this "BD DPS is meh" meme. Lightning Soul BD is absolutely top-tier in terms of raw DPS. The only problems with it are that A. you can ONLY use your q/e and SS for dodging boss AoEs while using it, and B. it's quite latency-dependent (but then again, most DPS rotations in PvE are). With Wind Soul we also have quite good AoE damage. That plus daze-specced dual strike and anklebiter lets us wipe out large piles of trash mobs rather quickly. Good luck doing that with a BM. I don't even have an attack diamond and I STILL pull aggro in most every party I've been in. I'm not even supposed to pull aggro - we're not a tank class, after all. But it still happens. Only times a non-tank has pulled aggro from me are FMs who also happen to out-gear me and occasionally assassins who are also in the same boat... while using Wind Soul. Never while using Lightning Soul. Seriously, good luck trying to pull aggro from me while I'm using Lightning Soul! If it happens, it's probably because I made a mistake somewhere tanking the boss (which, y'know, we're not designed for) and lost DPS. It's hilarious how quickly I can take aggro from a boss in-progress during 24-mans. Doesn't even matter if it was already at half HP when I got there. Fun times!
I'm a TX player so I have a natural latency advantage, but from my experience I regularly top the charts in DPS in every party I've been in. Maybe this changes at level 50, but for right now I think BD is in a pretty solid position.
Zyrusticae replied to Vanguards's topic in PvP DiscussionI confess, I really hate using the stun -> sleep method because it just feels so incredibly cheesy (especially since a big part of the strategy is just waiting for the timer). I've switched to a more offense-focused strategy that sticks close to the summoner while putting a lot of pressure on the pet, seems to be working for me. But maybe I've just been playing some bad summoners lately.
Zyrusticae replied to Cottontan's topic in Blade DancerWe have a number of bad matchups atm (the worst being both ranged classes IMO - I feel completely helpless against a good FM or Summoner). Our burst combo, while good when we can get it off, is entirely too predictable and dependent upon baiting the enemy's tab beforehand (which a smart opponent will NEVER allow). This wouldn't be such an issue if we just had the Sunder HM skill that allows crits on KD (which would allow a different damage combo and to mind game the opponent), but as it is, we're pretty much just fishing for air combos and the small bits of lightning flash we can sneak in every now and then. As far as classes go: KFM is genuinely kinda OP with all the i-frames and ridiculous number of CC abilities. There's a reason the highest bracket has so many of them. (After learning the matchup, however, I admit that this is one of the better ones to get matched against for me.) Destroyer is destroyer. To put it simply, they've always been a solid class and probably always will be. In my experience, we're at a noticeable disadvantage in this matchup, particularly as they have so many ways to get around or ignore our spin. A diamond FM will never lose to a BD. Dead serious. Watch Jaesung play his FM some time, shit's disgusting. Thankfully, the only FMs who know what they're doing are all the way at or near diamond. BMs and Assassins are a mixed bag for me (especially with there being so few skilled BMs around nowadays). Not sure where I stand on those two. (But Assassin body swap can burn in hell!) Everyone knows about summoner by now, I hope. Still not sure how to fight against them after the buff. I'm not sure about how exactly HM skills will affect us, as it's a very complicated calculation (especially due to every other class also getting their HM skills). However, the game is balanced around the assumption that we have those skills, so it should at least help a little bit. Mind you, I've never hit diamond (though I've gotten close a few times), so take all this with a grain of salt. Just my observations from a few dozen matches post-patch.

Pakistan on January 24 Tuesday successfully test-fired its second indigenously-developed nuclear-capable missile Ababeel, capable of engaging multiple targets with high precision with a range of 2,200 km, which brings many Indian cities within its striking range. The test firing comes two weeks after the launch of submarine-fired Babar III that Indian side military analysts as usual dubbed as "fake".
If indeed "War is a mere continuation of policy with other means" [1] the metaphoric kill switches that have made their way into strategic weapons by arms manufacturers give Clausewitz's nearly two-hundred-year-old observation new meaning. The ability of states that manufacture complex strategic networked weapons systems to simply turn off or at least partially disable such systems, on demand, is not really new.
To be worried about the consequences, to think of the prevailing systems, the flight test of a surface to surface, intercontinental ballistic missile "Agni-5" developed by India added more element of confusion in missile proliferation in South Asia. It will also add more ability to the Indian military muscle flexes giving it a long strike range of 6,000 kilometers.
Why is Europe able to manage its decline, while Asia is (still) unable to capitalize (on) its successes
Since the dawn of Pakistan as a nation-state the Army has played a magnificent role in convening the foreign policy objective of the country, its function revitalized from the time when cold war between American and Soviet Union began and USSR occupied Afghanistan, Pakistan became the number one strategic ally of America in South Asia.
The American Backstory
The American positions for the past two years have focused on China's relatively aggressive and unchallenged construction of seven artificial islands and at least three airstrips in the South China Sea. Despite neighborly protests, China has refused to even take part in legal arbitration that was initiated in 2013 by the Philippines at a U.N.-backed tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.
During the last decade the deteriorating political and military situation in the world have proved the necessity of well prepared Armed Forces. It is obvious that the level of patriotism in Lithuania is high as ever. Many young men are thinking to join the Armed Forces and be useful to the country.

Some Observations About Establishing Presence In The Blogosphere, SEO, Pinging, and Getting Indexed
Conceptually speaking, this is not impossible. In fact, a blogsite has an advantage over a website page because the former usually has constantly updated information. If the blogsite is on an engine's "to crawl" list, it is probably getting indexed more often than a website with similar but static content. And all that delicious new information is getting hungrily indexed by regular and blog-specific engines (ie., blogsearch.google.com), and can thus be searched for more easily. Since a blog usually has several postings on the main page, provided you are blogging about the same topics in a single blog, you are building up "weight" for your regular keywords every time you post a relevant new entry. On the other hand, a website's main page is typically static. So even if it started life high on the search engines, it may eventually disappear from sight.
The good news, for me anyways, is that I'm starting to get more referrals from search engines rather than accidental travelers. Before, while I got an almost immediate response after I pinged (I use the ultrafast Pingoat, as well as Blog Writer's built-in pinging), many of the visitors are fairly casual and end up on my blogs due to "just pinged" lists. You want to get more engine referrals, because then, it's more likely that the reader wants the information you have to offer.
It takes time and good, fresh, regular content to attract regular readers as well as build up search engine presence. But without establishing yourself in engines and directories, you are competing against millions of blogs. No one is going to find you (on a more permanent basis) without some effort on your part.

|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
This charming house is situated at the edge of a secluded hamlet. In a wooded location, the house features one double bedroom, one double on mezzanine plus two singles on the landing. Downstairs the open area includes kitchen, dining table and seating area in front of the large stone fireplace. Sheltered terrace with brick barbecue provides respite from both heat and sunshine, while a large garden which runs into woodland provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere. There is a private pool directly in front of the house. The village of Florimont Gaumier, boasts its own winery 'Vin de Domme' as well as a tower giving panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. It is close to many popular attractions. The house is 15 minutes from Domme, 25 mins from Sarlat and 20 mins from Gourdon. There is canoeing on the Dordogne and outdoor swimming available nearby.There are beautiful medieval castles in Beynac and Castelnaud as well as the chateaux of Marquessac and Milandes.
Tranquil, isolated, perfect for a real get-a-way. No wi-fi, no noise from traffic, no shops near by. A truly rustic retreat, lovely pool (a touch on the chilly side - but I'm old and soft!), really well equipped but not for anyone with mobility issues because of stairs or expecting vibrant night life nearby! A beautiful part of the country and well worth a visit.
After traveling from far, it was lovely to just arrive and relax from the first moment. We were welcomed easily and just made ourselves at home. The site is very isolated, which is just what we wanted. We have 3 noisy girls who could splash around in the pool as early or late as they wanted, as well as a puppy which ran around like a crazy beast for most of the time we were there. We were left to our own devices, but had all the details to contact if there were any issues. The listing and photos are accurate, but definitely don't do it justice, as it really is beautiful.
It would be good for people to note the following - The site is not suitable for toddlers as the property is not fenced off (thats what we loved about it - the rustic rural nature) as well as stairs etc (although the pool is fenced off) It is on a bit of a slope, with natural vegetation surrounding, so tiny people might fall etc.
Also, if, like us, you want somewhere that is simple, neat and family friendly, then this is perfect - if you want the luxuries of life and the perfect finishes, then this probably wouldn't suit you. (it comes with the most comfortable beanbag in the world...)
There are lovely walks all around, but they nearest shops/bakery would need a car.
We will definitely return here if possible and had the most relaxing break we could have imagined.
Special interest holidays:
The area boasts great cycling and walking tracks. There is possibility of photography workshops nearby - please ask for details. The caves of Lascaux and Pech Merles and Cougnac are also easy to visit from this location.
Nearest airports are Bergerac and Cressensac-Brive which are around an hour away, with Toulouse, Rodez and Limoges around 2 hours drive away. Trains from Paris arrive at Souillac and Gourdon. Car is necessary.
5 minutes to St Martial for bakery and restaurant, 15 minutes to Cenac/domme for supermarket, bakers, chemist, doctor, restaurants. Big shop in Gourdon for the week's supplies.

GREENSBORO, N.C.--- Following North Carolina's 77-58 victory over Vermont Friday evening in the NCAA Tournament's second round, UNC head coach Roy Williams and key contributors Tyler Zeller and James Michael McAdoo spoke with reporters.
The Tar Heels (30-5) return to action Sunday afternoon against Creighton (29-5) with a berth in St. Louis's Midwest Regional at stake.
Coach Williams Opening Statement:
We're one of 32 teams still playing and we're extremely happy about that. It was a tough game. They're a very difficult team to play against. The coach has done a really nice job with them offensively. Offensively they move themselves, move the ball a lot, and you have to play defense for 0 to 35 seconds almost every possession and that bothered us.
But still I liked our toughness. The last seven or eight minutes of the first half, we got it up to 12, and then in the second half ‑‑ I thought James Michael was sensational in the second half. The first half he was 1‑6 and had good shots. But the second half he made a bunch of those and five offensive rebounds and Z kept us in the game early. And then Harrison and PJ and Reggie and Kendall did some other things, so we feel good about it and we're happy that we're one of the 32 that are still playing.
For either, they played you very tough at the very beginning. Was there any chance that maybe‑‑ well, I don't know how to phrase it, that you took them maybe a little bit lightly or how were they able to stay with you so well in the first half?
TYLER ZELLER: I think the biggest thing was Vermont's a team that you don't watch on TV a lot, so you're not very familiar with their offense their players. We had the scouting report, but it's something that we haven't watched them play five or six games over the year. So you got to get adjusted and you also got to give Vermont credit for trying to control the pace of the game, run their offense. And then they did a good job of getting back, so we couldn't get out on the break. So you got to give them credit, but also got to get a little familiar with them. And I think in the second half, we were able to take them out once we knew what they wanted to do.
JAMES MICHAEL MCADOO: A lot like Z said, I feel like we just weren't familiar with them. Coach had told us just watching the film that it didn't really do them justice he told us I think they were a combination of Virginia and Wisconsin. So that's pretty much all we had really going into the game. I feel like once the first half was over, we were able to settle down and really get to what makes us successful.
Your first half the missed shots was that kind of just getting your feet under you and kind of being a little bit too amped up playing in the NCAA tournament for the first time?
JAMES MICHAEL MCADOO: I don't know how much of it was just getting my feet under me. I felt I was taking good shots; they just weren't going in. And seeing that I really just tried to get to the offensive boards, I feel like I was able to get to the free throw line, and I was able to get that dunk. And then just coming back in the second half, I just tried to be aggressive and things seemed to just fall in my lap.
Did that dunk kind of relax you a little bit?
JAMES MICHAEL MCADOO: It did. It felt good. So, yes, it relaxed me.
TYLER ZELLER: It looked good, too.
COACH WILLIAMS: I didn't watch it on the replay, but I'm looking forward to watching it on tape.
It seemed like early you were getting into the paint a lot like trying, you guys were trying to use that size advantage. And was that really kind of the game plan going in or how was that?
TYLER ZELLER: I think the big thing was we're always trying to get the ball inside, whether our guards are dribbling in or it's bigs are able to post, but I think the biggest thing was they're not used to playing bigs as big as us and quick as us, so it's something we knew we had an advantage and we just tried to take advantage of it from the beginning.
I know you've only done a cursory evaluation of Creighton, but you know their program and you know that they're a team that likes to push the pace and the tempo. Can you just give us a quick synopsis of what you're expecting on Sunday?
COACH WILLIAMS: You're right, I do know a little bit about them because I really like their head coach. He's a good friend and really does a great job. And I've even seen them play little bit of two games this year just because of my relationship with Greg. They're really a good basketball team. Doug is a load. I mean, he's really a very, very, very effective player. He's had a sensational year for them.
For us, we'll have a chance to start looking at him, looking at them, excuse me, closely tonight, I know they're really good. I don't care what seed they are or anything and a little bit like the question about once you get in the NCAA tournament, everybody's pretty good. And Creighton is really good.
I've always had a great deal of respect for teams that accomplish a lot regardless of what conference they're in, and they were really good last year. And they're really good this year.
But we hope to get John healthy. We have James Michael playing very effectively right now, and we need John to come and play very effectively and try to see if we can do what we do, which is run and try to pound the ball inside and then just take outside shots when they're open. But we have to defend. And I think that watching Greg's team, they're really intelligent too. They don't just push the pace; they make good decisions with the basketball and I think that's the one thing that we have to be willing to play tough defense for a longer time.
The tempo will be almost diametrically opposed to today. Is this a tempo you're going to prefer or enjoy or like more?
COACH WILLIAMS: Oh, yeah. No, I want it to go as fast‑‑ not as much as I did when we had three more players a few weeks ago or something, but, no, I want it to go up‑and‑down and we enjoy playing that way and it will be fun.
Can you walk us through sort of the procedure? And I guess ruling John out today, just the decision making and how he was doing?
COACH WILLIAMS: At shoot around this morning, I didn't even really want to do a shoot around. We normally have a guideline, if we play three o'clock or before we don't. So today was 4:00, but I decided to have it just because I wanted to see what John could do. He can catch the ball now, he can palm the ball now.
Got him into post and said, all right, let me see you make ball fake drop step where you have to take a two hand power dribble and then lay it up, and he was able to do it and catch it, but it didn't look like he was very comfortable with it. So he went to the other side and did the same thing. And I went to him and I said, John, it just doesn't look like you're comfortable. And he says, coach, not really, but I'm right there. And I just made the decision at that time that I wasn't going to play him. And I said that it's not an easy decision, I'm not holding you out saying that we're going to win, I'm just holding you out because I think it's best for you. If you're always trying to save somebody for the next game, your rear end may be going home.
So it will be the same type of procedure tomorrow. We'll have a short practice. It has gotten a little bit better each and every day, but it hasn't gotten better at the same rate as it was earlier in the week. I would think that if you had asked me yesterday, I would have said it's a little less than 50/50 that he was going to play today. And now, if it continues, I would say it's a little better than 50/50 that he would play Sunday. But if he still feels the same way, I won't play him.
You said you were pleased, but you didn't look pleased. So I wondered how you reacted in the first half?
COACH WILLIAMS: Well, that's coaching. I wanted to play the perfect game. I really do. And that's what I strive for every time. Silliness does drive me crazy. PJ, for example, first time I ever heard anybody say this. I thought it was pretty smart. They said shoot the ball and follow your shot. I thought that was pretty intelligent. I wasn't big enough to know what the dickens was going on. And so I said that to our guys, you're a shooter, you know if it's going in or not. And so I got frustrated at P.J. because twice he shoots it and it comes up short and bounces back to him, and he's back doing his dance or whatever.
James Michael jumped him once in the second half because he got soft on me and I can't‑‑ you can't do that; you got to play tough every possession. And he really bounced back and did well. But the nature of the game, it's frustrating when they score in the first half with two seconds on the shot clock and when they score with one second on the shot clock because we talked about playing defense for 35 seconds. But that's just the perfectionist or the stupidity, I don't know which one you want to use, you use either one and it will be all right with me. But I do get frustrated when we make mistakes but I don't know, it's the way I've always been. I'm glad to be one of the 32.
With the injuries you sustained and now the latest one with John, how tough is it to maintain the chemistry that you need to play at this high level?
COACH WILLIAMS: It really is. It's difficult to do and the kids have to keep‑‑ you have to keep asking them and pushing them to bounce back and put it behind us. We've got to play, we've got to play, we've got to play, we've got to play. And I said this week in the ACC tournament, if I would have asked any of you guys and especially myself last June our top six players, I would have given you three guys that are over there in coats and ties, so that's not a comfortable feeling.
But we still have to play and so I challenged the guys to ‑‑ makes no difference, makes no difference. North Carolina is still going to play, so let's play our best. And they have done a nice job of handling more than their fair share of adversity over the last couple years, I think.
You looked displeased before the ball ever went up because I guess Lee made everybody sit down at the bench. Is that an NCAA rule that your team can't stand up for the tip off?
COACH WILLIAMS: Well, I have to be careful here, but the ‑‑ whew. Basketball rules say can you stand up when the ball's dead. Period. The referee's holding it in his hand or puts it under his shirt or behind his back or whatever the ball is dead.
In March you try‑‑ I can't say something. You got to have more savvy than that. Hell, I can say something and all of a sudden I can get a reprimand when I walk out of here.
I just wanted to know what you said to Ron and John?
COACH WILLIAMS: Well, the basketball rules. The basketball rules.

This specialization in the Master of Public Health degree is intended for clinicians who would like additional training in the methods most applicable for research in applied clinical settings. It draws on the tools of biostatistics and epidemiology along with such important considerations as law and ethics.
A combination of classes, seminars, and mentored individual study helps students develop the ability to function as independent investigators.
Recommended Preparation
The curriculum in clinical translational science draws heavily on epidemiology and biostatistics, so students should be prepared for the quantitative demands of those fields. In addition, because of the nature of the work, the specialization in clinical translational science is limited to persons who have a clinically-related doctorate (e.g., MD, DO, DDS, DVM, PharmD) or who are in a combined degree program for that degree along with the MPH.
For information regarding application materials, test scores and codes, and decision timelines see our frequently asked questions page.

mother! (Darren Aronofsky, 2017). In a conversation with William Friedkin (yes, the directors of two of the great religious movies, just talking it over), Aronofsky described this hallucinatory horror/unusual Biblical adaptation/domestic nightmare as a "howl into the world", written from a place of "fury". The feeling stayed intact throughout a hothouse rehearsal process and the result is something that seems utterly uncompromising and highly personal, but that still manages to communicate a dark, absurdist humour. The first half is all about a mood of intense nervousness, claustrophobically shot, with Jennifer Lawrence followed closely as she walks the halls, rooms and stairs of a strange house in the country; the second half escalates, dream-like and unceasingly, into something closer to apocalyptic panic. It is easy to assume that Aronofsky has married the deranged, intensely subjective style of Black Swan (another horror movie about the terrible burden of being creative) with the conventional Biblical storytelling of Noah and its meditations on the Old Testament God and the problem of evil – meaning this is every bit as misanthropic as that Bible story. Again, there is a loathing for creation and the urge to keep trying, but for what? The creator's ego? To prove something? All of human history passes by in a flash like a bad dream of married life, or perhaps the reverse. Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel is in here, Aronofsky says – there is also the Lars von Trier of Antichrist and perhaps even Children of Men, which is a more hopeful and less overwhelming version of some roughly similar ideas. Call it a masterpiece.

Imaginary double bill
The Innocents (Anne Fontaine, 2016) and The Beguiled (Sofia Coppola, 2017). Communities of women at the end of wars, with stories about the sidelines of war and their lasting damage.

From another century
Ain't Them Bodies Saints (David Lowery, 2013). David Lowery's A Ghost Story sent me back here, to a sad, sweet crime story set in a timeless, semi-mythic Texas, featuring the same actors (Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck) who get to do more. Like A Ghost Story, it is a love story, with love notes, love letters. There are Malick influences but it's more of an actors' film than anything post-Days of Heaven, and the romantic mood and textures feel both authentic and fresh, as does its deep sense of being in and from some past we cannot access.

Exterminate all the brutes
Kong: Skull Island (Jordan Vogt-Roberts, 2017). B-movie monster nostalgia is expected (and delivered on), but Vietnam war movie nostalgia? (Specifically Apocalypse Now.) That opens up a whole other multiverse of possibilities. Meaning it is a welcome idea.

At 50
The Trip to Spain (Michael Winterbottom, 2017). The food, once the focus or at least the official reason for the part-documented, part-constructed journey, has became almost irrelevant and even the impressions now seem secondary (although Rob Brydon's long Roger Moore/Moor thing is inspired), which has pushed Winterbottom, Brydon and Steve Coogan's middle-aged ruminations to the fore. Youth, it passes. Genuine, lasting achievements are out of reach. Vanity is all folly. You might find yourself stuck in the desert of your own self-absorption. What should you have done differently?
September 2, 2017
Epic neediness
Dog Eat Dog (Paul Schrader, 2016). The best thing about this lurid post-Elmore Leonard/Tarantino nihilistic guns-and-drugs black comedy is Willem Dafoe in what would normally be the Steve Buscemi part – epic, debased, painful neediness. He makes co-star Nicolas Cage appear restrained and Paul Schrader fans might see him as a version of the infamous pre-Taxi Driver Schrader. The second best thing is the hallucinatory ending with its overtones of religiousness and sudden innocence, as though (let's cut him some slack) Schrader was trying to make amends for the sometimes hilarious, often depraved filth we all just waded through.

Pure hell
Pure hell. You don't joke around about this. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is (still, more than 40 years later) like an artefact or fragment of something even worse than what you see, something buried or obscured or hidden. Which means I'm much more likely to rewatch the late Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist or (why not) Lifeforce than Texas Chainsaw, while still admiring it more than almost anything else in horror. The legend is probably part of that, but not all of it.

Sea of heartbreak
The Vessel (Julio Quintana, 2016). Strongly influenced by Terrence Malick (who executive produced), but lacking Malick's cosmic scale and deeper, questioning intelligence, Julio Quintana's The Vessel plays like a religious fable improvised amongst the wreckage of a devastated community, where Martin Sheen is a Catholic priest who tries to hold things together. Coherence is sometimes lacking but strong feelings are obvious, and if some viewers are helped spiritually by the story, that was surely the intention (I was reminded at times of the twee fantasy realism of Beasts of the Southern Wild). Versions of this were made in English and Spanish – I think I might have preferred the latter with subtitles to the film I saw.
August 28, 2017
Where the past is
Lion (Garth Davis, 2016). The first half of this exceptionally well-crafted and highly moving drama is a patient exercise in Indian neo-realism set among lost and runaway children, in railway stations and back streets – and it is a remarkably brave decision to tell Saroo Brierley's story in this linear way rather than to start in the present with well-known actors (Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, David Wenham) and rely on flashbacks or recovered stories. What it all adds up to – helped by another powerful performance by Kidman as the fragile Sue Brierley, especially during her "vision" monologue – is a study in loss, emotional damage and what it means to construct a family. There is also the unnerving strangeness of finding that the past is still just where you left it, 25 years ago. How many viewers imagine variations of the same thing, wondering if the past is a place that can somehow be found?

Ghost time
"I wanted it to be a movie about observation. I can watch someone watching something for a long time ... I knew that there would be this patience to the movie, this patient pace, and that time would play a big part of it. That is one of the big things that differentiates film from other forms of visual art, because when you go to a museum and look at a painting or look at a photograph, you are determining how long you look at that. It's up to you. When you watch a film, it's up to the film-maker."
David Lowery, interviewed about A Ghost Story, at the Seeing is Believing podcast.

Ghost in the Shell (Rupert Sanders, 2017). This 80s cyberpunk future already feels retro, like something pre-Matrix and straight to video, but a more imaginative story and a sharper screenplay could have allowed Scarlett Johansson (quiet, grim, warmer than in Under the Skin) to be one of the better post-human characters. She almost always deserves better.
August 20, 2017
Ten from the festival
Happy End (Michael Haneke, 2017). The mood of the times? I was reading Jonathan Taplin's book about why we should be afraid of the internet, Move Fast and Break Things, during the second week of the New Zealand International Film Festival and this sentence jumped out as a potential summary of several films, including Happy End: "In his seminal 1976 work, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, Harvard sociologist Daniel Bell contended that modern capitalism creates a culture of such self-gratification and narcissism that it may end up causing its own destruction." There was a persistent theme of disgust running through the European films from Cannes this year, which aligned with European anxieties about inequality, elitism and indifference – refugees appeared in glitzy French dining rooms, beggars slept rough on the streets of Stockholm and Syrian asylum seekers showed up in Helsinki. It obviously made the festival topical in a way I had never noticed before, but attacks on bourgeois comfort, liberal contradictions and hypocrisy have been core business for Michael Haneke since at least the late 1980s. This also means that Happy End, which revisits the social satire of the (more topical than ever) 2005 film Cache/Hidden and earlier films like Funny Games and Code Unknown, is a step back of sorts from the career peaks Amour and The White Ribbon. Compared to those two films, Happy End feels like minor Haneke, but you can also appreciate the way he plays around effortlessly with the satire of his earlier films, where the family is shown to be the corrupt microcosm of society and it takes a rebellious child or two to reveal the horrible truth. I always enjoy Haneke as a stern, disapproving moralist and he is funnier here than he has been in years.
Loveless (Andrey Zvyagintsev, 2017). Epic Russian sorrow. In Zvyagintsev films, the apocalypse is terrifyingly sad and beautifully staged. You can think of this one as a sombre and hypnotic monument to selfishness and indifference. In the west, we look to Zvyagintsev to tell us important things about Russia; the strong sense of mystery he likes to generate tells us he is conscious of that role. But I wonder how his films are viewed in Russia, or are they essays made for export?
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2017). Another European moralist presents a scathing black comedy, this time in the comfortable suburbs of an American city. As much as I enjoyed Sofia Coppola's atmospheric remake of The Beguiled, I would say that if you are only planning to see one pairing of Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in 2017, make it this genuinely creepy art-horror about a family plagued by – again, Haneke-like – guilt and repression. Sometimes the horror feels Kubrickian – high and low camera angles, music by Ligeti – and sometimes you get the dread of films like The Omen and The Amityville Horror. Other things I did not expect to see in 2017 include the return of Alicia Silverstone.
The Square (Ruben Ostlund, 2017). A critic at Cannes joked that if Loveless had not been called Loveless, then Happy End could have used the title. The same applies to The Square, which won the big prize. There is a nihilism at the core of this overlong and sometimes inconsistent art-world satire that is largely disguised by a pleasant comic tone. You could say that it is broadly about art's failure to be effective as social criticism within a rarefied social bubble (all opening nights, fundraising dinners and black-tie events) but is the film doing the same thing, and if so, does that make it somehow both impotent and self-satisfied, or is it simply proving its own point? As in a Haneke film – he really has become the presiding spirit, hasn't he? – a comfortably-off figure is attacked by the social forces he provokes or patronises.
The Other Side of Hope (Aki Kaurismaki, 2017). Kaurismaki's refugee film is smaller in scale and less self-important than the likes of The Square and Loveless, and its droll humour and carefully curated world should be attractive to fans of Jim Jarmusch's Paterson, but some of us can remember when Kaurismaki films didn't restore our faith in humanity. Has the world changed or has he changed? Either way, I loved it.
Lady Macbeth (William Oldroyd, 2016). As though Lady Chatterley's Lover could turn homicidal and be restaged as a Victorian noir – which is the category hastily invented by critics for this engrossing low-budget film that has little overlap with Shakespeare's play other than one important line of dialogue. The source is a Russian novel relocated to the north of England in the 1860s, making it roughly contemporary with The Beguiled, with which it has a fair bit in common. The source novel has apparently been denuded of Russian supernatural elements although traces of that spirit remain. Florence Pugh is suitably evil in the lead.
Human Traces (Nic Gorman, 2017). This mostly impressive debut is a writer's film that presents a tricky structure, offering three perspectives on the same events, which unfold on a fictional Sub-Antarctic island (the appropriately bleak, windswept locations were on Banks Peninsula and in the Catlins). As Gorman told an appreciative audience at its world premiere in Christchurch, Bergman films were an influence. He didn't say which ones but I imagine he meant movies like Shame and Hour of the Wolf (remote islands, Max Von Sydow and/or Liv Ullmann going mad). More than anything, Human Traces is a feat of editing and continuity under very difficult circumstances (Richard Shaw edited, John Christoffels shot) and while the stories do weave together in the third part, it is hard to say whether the ending truly makes psychological sense. But then again, you could argue that Gorman's models (Bergman, possibly Von Trier and possibly Dead Calm) didn't always, either.
Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1979). The lasting but obvious gag is that like the Zone itself, Stalker seems to be different every time you step into it – a theory I tested by going twice. You have to be in the same room without distractions, you have to endure its long stretches of time. You have to walk in circles alongside these guys, drink at that oily, sepia bar in that ruined town. You have to make the trip. After the second screening, late on a Thursday night, the fog outside was thick and low, turning all the roads home into dark tunnels.
Bill Direen: A Memory of Others (Simon Oggston, 2017). The fog from Stalker seemed to have settled on the Otago town of Middlemarch where Direen, poet and singer, emerged out of the fog like a figure from history. The world of the film is mostly the world of the 1930s to the 1960s, populated by surrealists and literary modernists, Janet Frame and James K Baxter and the first Labour government, Bob Dylan and the Velvet Underground, even as it unfolds on a short New Zealand tour/road trip in the year 2016. Direen is a unique figure who does not appear to have fit comfortably into any of the scenes he worked in or near, and there was something strangely moving about the film that I struggled to identify. I suspect there is a story somewhere beneath this one, which we glimpse at times, and it is about how we turn ourselves into the people we are and what the cost or effort of that might be. The film is intelligently and sensitively put together and Oggston largely avoids the talking-heads-and-historical-clips format that plagues typical rock docos. But then, Direen isn't a typical rock subject.
A Ghost Story (David Lowery, 2017). This sad and beautiful film was the revelation of the fortnight. A small and personal project for David Lowery, apparently made in secret with actors Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, it has big things to say about time, transience and memory – often without words, and almost always with its lead character disguised under a sheet with eyeholes, like a kid's drawing of a ghost or a Halloween costume. People are talking about Terrence Malick and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and those are very good precedents, but Lowery has hit on a style that is completely his own. They say that time is both the subject and the raw material of cinema – this film shows how and why.

Soda jerk
David Lynch: The Art Life (Rick Barnes, Olivia Neergaard-Holm, Jon Nguyen, 2016). Adding to the It's a Wonderful Life/Eraserhead theory: the young David Lynch ran errands for a drug store, as he explains in this poised, fascinating study of a reclusive, self-taught outsider artist. "I got a job at a drug store, delivering prescriptions at night. One time I came in during the daytime and I went to the soda fountain to get a Coke. And Jack Fisk was the soda jerk. He said, I hear you have a studio. I said, Yeah. He said, You want somebody else to share the rent?"

The paranormal 1970s
Only the dialogue about flying saucers, ghosts, telepathy and the Bermuda Triangle – or the lack of them, in an unutterably boring world ruled by cast-iron laws – locates the production of Stalker in the 1970s, I thought.

Okja (Bong Joon-ho, 2017). I liked The Host but not Snowpiercer. And this seems to have the flaws of the latter, as an awkward mix of social satire, speculative science-fiction and sentimental adventure – but the giant, hippo-like super-pig in question is so well-rendered, she easily out-performs Jake Gyllenhaal and even, at times, Tilda Swinton in a garish double role. Only Paul Dano is more soulful.

Confessions of a window cleaner
In Swagger of Thieves, the long-gestating Head Like a Hole film by Julian Boshier, New Zealand rock arguably has its own Dig! The rare access and the constant threat of self-destruction. It is just as entertaining but perhaps not as well shaped. My interview.

How and why did Kim Dotcom go from ubiquitous (2014) to reclusive (2017)? Why did New Zealand act like he was the internet age's Nelson Mandela, rather than, as a Variety reviewer said, a braggard and publicity hound or a Gatsby-ish promoter of himself? Were naive New Zealanders fooled, and has his moment passed now, anyway? I think Annie Goldson's doco Kim Dotcom: Caught in the Web catches the contradictions of the story, and the politics that flows out of them. It is not a campaigning documentary that has been seduced by its subject but good, balanced journalism. My interview.

Dunkirk (Christopher Nolan, 2017). A lot has been said about the remarkable immersiveness of this Christopher Nolan wartime masterpiece; its confident choreography borders on pure cinema. It is somehow intimate rather than grand in its scale, concerned during its relatively brief running time (at 106 minutes, Nolan's shortest since Following in 1998) with the here and now, and Nolan's familiar tricks with time are unusually subtle rather than ostentatious. The dominant emotional mood is not triumphalism but pity, which is apt given that another five years of terrible struggle were ahead of them in 1940. I've seen less discussion of how, like Nolan's Interstellar, it is also a film about fathers. If Interstellar was about guilt or responsibility, with the remote father absent for decades from his daughter's life, then Dunkirk gives us two touching examples of tolerant, forgiving fathers who guide us in Mark Rylance's small but heroic and stoic Mr Dawson and Kenneth Branagh's benign Naval commander.
