The Bulls made it to the playoffs this year and didn't even have LeBron. Imagine how far they get when they ADD him?
The Cavaliers without LeBron are a terrible team. They're not even a playoff team without him. The Bulls are already a playoff team, and then add LeBron. The Bulls' supporting cast is UNQUESTIONABLY better than the Cavaliers'.
The Heat are already a playoff team and they already have a superstar and room for TWO max contracts (and possibly a third if they trade Beasley).
They could sign THREE free agents to max deals AND still keep Dwyane Wade. They have to potential to be the scariest team ever seen in basketball. That's a much better supporting cast than the Cavaliers', who have the potential to be at best a team that (with LeBron) makes it to the conference finals but that's pretty much it (they're not getting past Orlando with the roster they have).
That kinda ruined their cap space, and now they're stuck with that same core they have forever (no free agents, they can re-sign Bosh but don't have the ability to sign anybody else).
Frankly I'm glad we got Jerome Jordan - we needed a C of some sort and he was one of the top 2 remaining so that's a fair pick. Also he's probably a bit more polished than Alabi is.
But getting two no-name Swingmen is NOT something I'm all that happy about.
This dude Rautins was projected to go at 86 not 38, I hope Donnie and his staff know something others don't because that's a huge disparity in judgement on this kid. Didn't expect much from this draft other than the Knicks maybe being able to buy a higher pick but Andy Rautins?? I think he becomes D League fodder just like his fellow alum Gerry McNamara. Now on to free agency.
News about us buying Jordan definitely made me feel alot better. I was FURIOUS before.
Yes the majority of the 2nd round picks don't pan out, and thats the reason why they are picked in the 2nd round. However, there is no risk involved, only reward in choosing these guys. So the Knicks not choosing one of the Centers, or Varnardo, shows me that Donald Walsh And that coach are INEPT. And that ineptness translates to ppl who want to win championships NOT coming here... So in the end, after 2night draft I believe that it shows the Knicks Mgt do not understand the need to fill some of the core needs of a team that wants to contend
I'm warming up to the Rautins pick.. But yeah I wish we would've taken a C with that 39th
No....it doesnt mean Donnie thinks that Barron is the next coming of Kareem, but rather he thinks Barron is better than any player in the second round of tonights Draft!
Maybe its not that Donnie and Dantoni are "inept" but rather they were not high on the players available at those positions. Again this is the 2nd round....not the lottery
Now lets flashback 10 years....remember how bad we "needed" a backup to Ewing and did not need another SF because we had Spree....what happened was us getting Fredric Wies instead of Artest!
More recently we did not need another post player because we had Randolph,Lee and Curry, the result of that is we pass on Brook Lopez!
On paper did The Spurs need Dujuan Blair? Nope! Did they find a use for him? Yup
Because The Pistons had Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton they did not have a need at either SF and SG, so they dont draft Wade of Melo.
The Bucks had Ridnour and the emerging Ramon Sessions, did they need Jennings?.... but are they happy they got him?
Extreme examples, but proof that chasing a need can burn you and drafting the best player available is the wisest move.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
If only Alan Hahn is reporting it then it might just be a rumor.
If Jerome Jordan is not a Knick then the Knicks grade has to be a C-...they have not filled a need in the draft in years and passed up on Brook Lopez and Jennings who would have been needs in the drat years they were in.
I know Rautins and Landry were picked for their offensive skills which Mike D played a huge part in. Rautins will be good in this system, Landry I hope is not a bust.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
We have little to complain about until we see these guys in action. Most of you admit you barely even know their games. Most of you watch very little college ball and get your information from the likes of draft express.
Andy, I watched, he fills a need. We complain about lack of defense, so why are we upset that Donnie drafted an excellent perimeter defender? Not only that he has an amazing work ethic and the kid is a leader. He lead the Orange not Wes. Notice most of these qualities do not exist with last years roster?

First news leaked earlier this week and now we have the confirmation. After getting together with Bape on a 3 year anniversary t-shirt, Original Fake will also be releasing a 4 Feet Dissected Companion for the special occasion. If previous 4 Feet Companions sold out quick, expect this one to go even quicker, even though it will also be slightly more expensive and go for almost 4'000 USD. Good luck getting your hands on one!
Look out for a release of the Original Fake 3rd Anniversary 4 Feet Dissected Companion in the next couple of days.

Lately, I've been taking pictures of people posing with their bikes. These cyclists seem to put a lot of love and care into their pedaling machines—from the paint jobs, to quirky components to customization. I'm the same way about my vintage Mondonico, so can understand the lengths people go to in order to keep their bikes pretty. Here's some of my recent photos. And beware, I'm hunting more of you down.

Red Cottage
Children's House
Charcoal was introduced as the new drawing medium. Children were presented a variety of ways to hold, draw, fill in and shade with the stick. They discovered their own ways to use it.
The American Indian tradition of a "talking stick" was introduced. This tradition allows each member of the tribe to speak freely without the worry of criticism as the holder of the stick may talk until he/she is finished. At Red Cottage, students used a beloved wooden hippopotamus as our object to signify whose turn it was to speak. The children took turns sharing Halloween costumes, favorite holidays and favorite colors.
Red Cottage welcomed four alumni on the school district's early release day. They enjoyed a hike in the woods and rediscovering puzzle maps, math beads and the moveable alphabet.
Extended Day
The elements of drawing, the dot, circle, angle, line, and arc, were introduced. Before drawing any of these elements, the children spent the week finding them in the Children's House and in nature. For example, the top of a mushroom is considered a dot.

Although misguided, young Calvin below makes some interesting points, specifically about what a graduate thesis looks like. Whether you are writing a graduate thesis or a first-year composition paper, you must follow certain formats and style (which may vary, depending on your professor) to make your paper look clean and professional.
Tip 1: Read your assignment guidelines to find out which style to use! I cannot stress this enough. MLA, APA, Chicago, and others all have a unique style and format to follow. If you choose the wrong one, your paper will still look good but will not be the correct fit. It would be the equivalent of wearing a tuxedo to a swimming meet, or a ball gown to a job interview.
Tip 2: Now that you know what style to write in, make sure you write in that style! If unsure on all the rules and regulations, visit your local writing studio or do some research online. A fantastic site for such questions is the Purdue Owl, which covers MLA, APA, and you guessed it, Chicago. Important note: style does not only mean citations. Headings, title/cover page, page numbers, spacing, font, etc., all of these can be affected by whatever style your professor has assigned.
Tip 3: Speaking of fonts, please use a non-irritating font and a reasonable font size. The standard is Times New Roman, size 12. Personally, I suggest that you always use Times New Roman, size 12. Don't be cute. And don't try to hit the page count by making your font larger or margins smaller. Professors read hundreds of papers a semester and will know when something doesn't look write, no matter how sneaky you are. If you absolutely despise Times New Roman, serif fonts are deemed acceptable. As always, read your syllabus to see if your professor has a preference or has banned any outlaw fonts like Jokerman.
Tip 4: Nothing screams amateur as much as a glaring typo. Proofread your work. Proofread your emails. Proofread your texts, twitters, snapchats, everything. Sure, we are human. We make misteaks. But when a professor sees that you wrote dime store instead of dinosaur, they may view you as lazy, or might think that you rushed through the assignment. Read your paper out loud. Read your paper backwards sentence by sentence. Have a friend read the paper. Say it with me now. No more dime stores! Make dime stores extinct! As for grammatical and punctuation errors, check out The Writing Commons, and the wide variety of information they offer.
Tip 5: You may have noticed that I've been using exclamation points and bold lettering. What's that old saying? "Do as I say, not as I do." Yeah, that. Don't use exclamation points. Don't bold words. Don't write in ALL CAPS. DOESN'T THIS FEEL LIKE I'M YELLING? DOESN'T IT LOOK UNPROFESH? Also, do not abbreviate words or use slang. Spell it out. Do not be unprofessional. Many professors will also tell you not to use contractions, which means, don't use can't and won't, couldn't and shouldn't, etc.
To conclude, I would like to say that your professor or instructor trumps all. Always follow the professor's guidelines. Keep in mind, errors of sloppiness can greatly alter how your professor reads and responds to your paper. Don't anger the beast. And beware the frumious Bandersnatch. The simpler and cleaner your paper looks, the better.
My last metaphor of wisdom: beauty is only skin deep. Skin covers up the meat and bones and blood, which can be unsettling if seen. However, without all that chunky stuff inside, skin is just a loose and raggedy bag. You still must write content, cite your scholarly sources, and make intellectual/stimulating arguments. Content is not style. You can write a great paper that looks sloppy, but you can also write an awful paper that looks fantastic. Both are poor choices.
Let's see how it worked out for our boy, Calvin.

What is Clipping?
Clipping happens when you have areas with no information in your photo. When an area has no information, it is either pure white or pure black. Photographers often refer to these areas as "blown out". Generally, it is undesirable to have large areas of your image with areas that have highlight clipping or shadow clipping.
Clipping Warnings in Lightroom
Lightroom uses added color to warn you of areas that have highlight or shadow clipping. Your screen will show bright red for areas where the highlights are clipped and blue for areas where the shadows are clipped. You can turn these off or on in several different ways. Simply tapping the "J" key will turn both the highlight and shadow clipping off or on.
You can turn them on and off individually by clicking the little arrows on the top left and right of the histogram. The right one will toggle on/off the highlight clipping warning and the left one will toggle on/off the shadow clipping warning.
How to Fix Clipping in your Photo
Just like in any editing program, there are several different options for fixing clipping on images in Lightroom. The most obvious options are to use the Highlights and Shadows sliders in the Basic Panel. Moving the Highlights slider to the left will decrease the Highlights. Moving the Shadows slider to the right will bring back information in the Shadow areas of your photo.
You can also further adjust the highlights and shadows by using the sliders or curve in the Tone Curve Panel.
However, the easiest way to recover the highlight and shadow clipping in your images is to use the presets included in a couple of our sets. The Pretty Presets Workflow Collection has presets for recovering both highlight and shadow areas of your image (Exposure Recover Clipping and Exposure Lighten Shadows). The Clean and Creative Advanced Workflow has a preset for recovering clipping as well called "Recover Clipping".
Bonus Tip
A little bit of shadow or highlight clipping doesn't bother me too much—especially if it isn't in key areas of your photo. If there are small areas where the highlight or shadow clipping just can't be recovered and it isn't distracting to your photo, don't stress over it too much!
Special Thanks to Allison Wheeler for this wonderful video that also talks about clipping and shows you the different techniques to fix it!

Five New Photos from Cormac McCarthy's The Road
by Alex Billington
August 7, 2008
Source: USA Today
This isn't officially the first time we've featured photos from The Road (that was back in May), but it is the first time we get an actual glimpse at how the bleak post-apocalyptic world of the film will tie into the heartwrenching story. John Hillcoat's adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road is becoming increasingly interesting as we near the release and start to hear more about the finer details of the production, which is living up to all of the hype so far. This latest update comes from USA Today and introduces six new photos featuring Viggo Mortensen and his on-screen son Kodi Smit-McPhee, as well as Michael K. Williams as the thief. Mortensen shares: "I think what's made this story so universally loved is because it's really about protecting your child, no matter what the circumstances. At its core, it's a love story."
If you're unfamiliar with the story, the book takes place in a burnt out American wasteland, not long after a nuclear winter has settled in. A father and his son, traveling with only the clothes they are wearing, a pistol for protection, and a cart of scavenged food, slowly make their way down a deserted road in an attempt to get to the coast. They don't know what they'll find there, but at this point, they've got nothing else but each other and the hope that they'll find something at the end that is keeping them alive.
Pittsburgh during the winter, as well as New Orleans and Mount St. Helens, served as the backdrop for most of the movie. Mortensen explains how visceral it was shooting on location. "It's tangible, the misery and hopelessness and the bleakness. It gives you much more to work with if you're filming in that world instead of a green screen. You have to bring a story to life in a movie in a way you don't have to in a book - even a book as powerful as that." You can see five new photos below.
The Road is directed by ex-music video director John Hillcoat, of The Proposition previously. The screenplay was adapted by Joe Penhall, of Some Voices, Enduring Love, and The Undertaker previously, and is based on Cormac McCarthy's novel of the same name first published in 2006. MGM is debuting The Road in theaters nationwide on Thanksgiving weekend, November 26th.

It seems Cinco de Mayo, celebrated on May 5th, is like St. Patrick's Day – tomorrow, everyone will be Mexican and celebrate the day. Instead of corned beef & cabbage, we'll all have chips & salsa (and a margarita, with salt, please). To help set the mood, I have a few quick and festive, DIY Cinco de Mayo decorations you can make, all easy enough for the kids to help with, too. For these easy, Cinco de Mayo crafts, all you need are tissue paper and a few foam shapes.
The Tissue Paper Rose Centerpiece has topiaries covered in tissue paper flowers. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that by changing the colors, this would also be pretty at a bridal or baby shower.
The same tissue roses dress up the Tissue Paper Rose Wreath.
The Triple Tissue Wreaths are made by wrapping fringed tissue paper around your wreath. You decide if you want to make just one or the trio.
Now, I confess that I had to google Cinco de Mayo to find out more about the holiday. Do you know what it celebrates? And, do you have plans for Cinco de Mayo? Please share!
Don't forget — we have another big holiday next weekend — Mother's Day. If you're still trying to decide what to get mom for her special day, be sure to check out our roundup of more than 18 Mother's Day crafts – and you might win one of two button bonanza prizes from Buttons Galore & More, too**.
Happy Cinco de Mayo & happy crafting!

POWAY - Fourteen months after they broke ground on two newbuildings, Pomerado Hospital officials donned hard hats and showedoff the nearly finished structures to a small group of media andinvited guests Thursday. View A Video
The hospital is one of two operated by the state's largest public hospital district, Palomar Pomerado Health.
On Thursday, district board members Dr. Marcelo Rivera and Gary Powers and Palomar Pomerado Health's lead architect Michael Shanahan beamed as they led a tour of the new, five-story outpatient services pavilion and the four-story parking garage that now stand behind the hospital, at 15615 Pomerado Road.
The men also accepted a giant mock check for $25,963 from San Diego Gas & Electric Co. The figure represented an award the hospital earned from the utility for installing energy-efficient mechanical systems in the central plant.
"Going 'green' is not just a motto with us; it's a motto for all of us to live by," said Rivera, who is both a physician and the board chairman. "We could have taken the shortcuts. But instead of doing that, we decided to do it right."
Shanahan said an environmentally friendly approach is particularly important for hospitals because, as facilities that use a lot of equipment and operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they use high amounts of energy.
Palomar Pomerado spent $28 million to build the new structures and renovate the central plant. Together, the changes represent the first phase of a two-part expansion that, when finished, will double Pomerado's size.
The district is scheduled to begin the project's second phase - a new, five-story patient wing and second parking garage - later this year.
Palomar Pomerado worked with developer Pacific Medical to build the outpatient services pavilion and the first parking garage, which has 1,200 vehicle spaces. Contractor Rudolph and Sletten has been overseeing the project.
The pavilion offers 172,000 square feet of interior space. All but 6,000 square feet have already been claimed, Shanahan said.
Centre for Health Care is the building's largest tenant. The medical clinic has a 15-year lease for 70,000 square feet on the pavilion's third and fourth floors and a small part of the fifth.
Last week, the clinic, which includes an urgent care center and a long list of medical specialists, left its longtime home in Rancho Bernardo and relocated to the new building.
Its other floors are waiting for their interiors to be finished. Palomar Pomerado plans to operate a women's health center, a diagnostic imaging center and a medical spa on the pavilion's first floor. The spa will offer massages and other treatments to women waiting for cancer treatments and similar medical treatments, Shanahan said.
The second floor will house an outpatient surgery and endoscopy center with four operating rooms plus anesthesia and post-surgery areas, while the remaining space on the fifth floor will contain offices for doctors affiliated with Palomar Pomerado Health. Hospital spokesman Andy Hoang said Thursday the additional services should be available by the end of the year.
Walking among Centre for Health Care patients visiting the pavilion for the first time, Rivera, Powers and Shanahan stopped several times during their tour to point out energy-conservation features incorporated into the building's design. Large windows on the pavilion's west side, for example, let in plenty of natural light, while energy-efficient lights, recycled carpets, and non-gas-emitting cabinets, wall coverings and other materials were installed inside.
The three also explained how new mechanical systems installed in the plant will both heat and cool the hospital. The plant's renovations alone are expected to save the hospital about $30,300 a year on its energy costs, they said.
Other energy-efficient features, including a solar system that might be installed on top of the parking structure if the district can find the right company to work with on the project, will also help keep the hospital's utility bills down, Shanahan said.
SDG&E's Savings by Design team helped Palomar Pomerado and its architects incorporate as much energy-efficient technology as possible into the buildings' design. Chip Fox, commercial new construction manager for the utility company, said the approach is fairly new but catching on quickly.
"It's amazing," he said. "Now everybody wants to get onboard with it."
Two pedestrian bridges already connect the outpatient services building and the parking structure on their second floors, and Shanahan said another bridge connecting the pavilion to the hospital's main building will be added in the next year or so.
The work at Pomerado Hospital is part of a larger, $1 billion expansion of Palomar Pomerado's facilities in the 800-square-mile area served by the district. Voters showed their support for the project - including the upcoming construction of a new hospital in Escondido - in November 2004, when they approved a $496 million bond measure to help pay for the work.

de soto history/Exploring the past
16 years ago
September 1985
The Close Up Foundation, the nation's largest government studies program, invited De Soto High to participate in a week-long series of seminars in Washington D.C. De Soto students participated with several hundred students and teachers from the Kansas City area in January, 1986. This is the second year DHS participated in the event.
De Soto Wildcat harrier Mike Haynes won the individual title at the Leavenworth Invitational Cross Country Meet. The DHS junior completed the two-plus mile course in a time of 11:00 to outdistance his closest competitor, Casey Boatwright of Tonganoxie by 10 seconds.
24 years ago
September 1977
Sherry Foxx was crowned homecoming queen during halftime festivities at De Soto High's victorious game against Osawatomie. Foxx was crowned by Beverly Davis, homecoming queen at DHS in 1976. The Wildcats' victory raised their season record to three wins and no losses.
Several members of the Pioneer 4-H Club were represented at the Sunflower State Expo in Topeka.
Following flood disasters in the Kansas City area, Gardner and De Soto were among 18 Johnson County communities that became eligible for flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program.
25 years ago
September 1976
Construction began at Countryside Intermediate School (formerly Annex) and will begin at Woodsonia Elementary within the upcoming weeks. Some classes were over recommended size levels this year, a problem that was expected to be solved by the building additions.
U.S. Rep. Larry Winn, Jr. (R-Kan.) announced the city of De Soto was awarded a $420,000 grant for wastewater treatment works from the Environmental Protection Agency. The funds were to be used for construction of an oxidation ditch type treatment plant, lift station with force main and an interceptor from the lift station to the connection to an existing sewer.
Drug raids in Johnson and Wyandotte County resulted in the arrest of 15 people. Warrants included two in Lenexa, one each in De Soto, Shawnee and Kansas City, Kan. During the four-month investigation, which led to the arrests, some of the suspects were alleged to have traveled to San Diego and returned with heroin to sell here. Recovered from the raids was about one-fourth ounce of heroin with a street value of $1,500.

My Two Cents: 5 Ways To Stay Fabulous On A Budget
I admit I'm pretty much a walking gender stereotype — I like shopping, getting pedicures, grabbing drinks with the girls after work, obsessing about my hair, and lusting over other women's awesome boots. I also hate when models brag about how they can eat anything without gaining an ounce, and I have an unhealthy addiction to gossip sites, but that may be taking it a bit too far. The point is, I embrace my girlishness and I'm not about to give up any of the fun parts of being a chick just because the economy isn't doing so well. So I've decided to embrace my inner recessionista, who, frankly, wasn't all that hard to find (she also goes by the name "cheap"). Before thriftiness was a necessity, I picked up a few tips about living fabulously without spending a bundle.
1. Grab Gift Cards: People are getting desperate for extra money, right? So they're looking through their stuff for anything they can sell for quick cash, and one of the things that tops the list is the gift card/store credit. Whether they got it as a gift, won it online, or have it left over from a store return they couldn't get a refund for, the gift card = money, but the only way to collect on it is if it's sold for less than its face value. Recently, I bought a J.Crew gift card valued at $176 for just $125! That means a guaranteed 30 percent savings on stuff that's not even marked down! Look for gift cards on Craigslist or eBay and try to meet at the actual store to verify the value of the card before you hand over your money.
2. Go Back To School: Like a typical girly-girl, I like to indulge in the occasional massage, pedicure and facial, but since I'm on a budget, I don't head to an expensive spa with good lighting and free tea, I head back to school. Massage and beauty school students offer an array of treatments and services for a fraction of salon and spa prices. To find a school in your area and read accompanying reviews, I recommend Yelp.
3. Have Happy Hour At Your Place: I have a group of girlfriends I love meeting up with for happy hour drinks after work every once in a while. It's a great way to connect, catch up and blow off some steam, but all those drinks — even at their discounted prices — can really add up. So I've invited the girls over to my place next time and if it goes well, which I'm sure it will, I hope we can make it a regular affair, taking turns hosting. I figure we can all get good and liquored up for, like, ten bucks each, and we'll have control over the music and how much booze (a lot) goes into our cocktails.
4. Get Thrifty: When I was a kid, the thought of buying anything secondhand grossed me out, but now that I'm old and wise, I realize some of the coolest stuff out there was owned by someone else first. Flea markets, garage/yard sales, Craigslist, eBay, and Freecycle are a wet dream of awesome stuff for next to, or literally, nothing. Make secondhand shopping a hobby, like a scavenger hunt of cool — grab some friends or go it alone and see how much cheap awesome stuff you can find. I just scored some fabulous vintage necklaces on eBay for just a few bucks!
5. Swap Clothes: We've mentioned it before, but it's worth saying again: Your "trash" may be another woman's new treasure and vice versa. I scored a vintage maxi dress at a clothing swap a couple of years ago that has been one of my favorite finds of all time. It's comfortable as hell, shows off my assets, and I get compliments on it every time I wear it … and it was free! Not only are clothing swaps a great way to score some new-to-you stuff and get rid of what you no longer want, they're the perfect excuse to hang out with your friends without dropping a lot of dough.

ATLANTA --- Paul Johnson made his first big mark in the state with Georgia Tech's drought-ending win over Georgia to end his first regular season.
Another sign of change under Johnson came Wednesday, when 14 of Georgia Tech's 21 signees were in-state players. Included in that group was Jefferson County defensive end Chris Crenshaw and Washington County linebacker Brandon Watts.
It was the most in-state signees for Georgia Tech in at least 15 years, according to the school's records.
Johnson said the high percentage of in-state signees was no accident.
"My philosophy on that is the local guys and the guys in-state are going to win all ties," he said. "That doesn't mean we're not going to go somewhere else for a special guy who wants Georgia Tech or is a good player. But it makes no sense to me to fly to California to recruit a guy when there are six of them just like him in the city limits."
Johnson signed players from seven states, but the renewed emphasis on Georgia talent was obvious.
"I think the biggest thing on enabling us to get the kids in the state of Georgia compared with years past is we actually had all nine assistants have a part of the state," said recruiting coordinator Giff Smith, who also headed the recruiting efforts on former coach Chan Gailey's staff.
"I felt like we did a better job of actually covering the state and being able to pinpoint the guys earlier that kind of did what we wanted to do and fit academically with what we want to go after," Smith said.
One of Johnson's notable in-state signees Wednesday was receiver Stephen Hill of Miller Grove High in Lithonia, Ga. Hill made a verbal commitment to Georgia Tech before also considering an offer from Georgia.
Other highly ranked recruits were quarterback Jordan Luallen, defensive tackle J.C. Lanier and cornerback Rod Sweeting.

Last week I attended OpSource's SaaS Summit. It featured numerous panel discussions by various luminaries in the field - from practitioners to Venture Capitalists to the press. One thing that distressed me to hear is that no one seemed to be willing to put a stake in what "cloud computing" really means.
I didn't like this. It seems that the technology space loves to cannibalize on itself by creating insanely arcane definitions of what something really is. As a practitioner in this space, I can understand that the technical details really require precision and that absent a governing body to arbitrate the definition of terms it's tough to really agree on what something means exactly....
But puhleeze!
I was a bit embarrassed that in these discussions the most technical debate was over the meaning of "cloud computing". No one really wanted to touch hard topics with any vigor and engage in any real debate over technical issues. But everyone agreed that "'we don't know what cloud computing really means." Personally, I think OpSource needs to have a serious heart to heart with its panelists and moderators and tell them to cut the crap. If that's the greatest revelation they can come up with, perhaps we need a new crop of panelists.
From the outside looking in, it doesn't have to be too hard. Cloud Computing itself is a bit of a buzzword... which means that everyone is using it just to sound cool. But it has some good bones to it as well. I think it is actually a term that we can use to advance the dialog about how technology is changing the face of how we do IT.
Right up front I'll admit that all too often "cloud computing" gets defined using a whole raft of other tech jargon buzzwords
These are the 3 most common "aaS" options you'll see. They aren't the only ones though. As this industry matures, many more kinds of aaS options are coming on line. They all fall under the "cloud computing" category, and share the same basis features...
This brings me back to Cloud Computing. There are lots of variations. I don't feel a need to try to evaluate each one and say that it "is" cloud computing or not. If it meets some basic criteria, I'm willing to let it be cloud computing.
I think these 3 points do a good job of setting guidelines around what Cloud Computing is.
At the same time, there are some things cloud computing is not.
Just a few simple guidelines. It doesn't have to be complex. I think we would all benefit, in fact, from some simplicity in this topic. Demystify and make it accessible to everyone. That's what I want to see.
I'll save why you might want to do this for a different post. Take a few minutes and see if this doesn't help answer your questions on the topic.
Every day my job brings me a wealth of observations about life in a technology company. Whether by observing office politics or by translating my hobbies, I gain insights into what works and what doesn't. My goal is to share these insights (protecting the guilty and innocent alike) to encourage you to engage deeply in your passions for greatness in your own life and career.

In the end, the Galu jury members decided to hand the million dollars and the title of Sole Survivor which Russell Hantz, the oil company owner, felt he had earned to Natalie White, the former pharmaceutical representative. If one thing was clear from their interview, the self-titled Greatest Player Ever was not at peace with that decision.
First of all Natalie, what do you feel was your big, strategic play that impacted the game?
For me, you know, I felt that when Erik got out, I feel that was my big, strategic move. It changed the … it changed the game in my opinion.
Now it seems like both you and Mick knew how [unintelligible] of a game player Russell was. Did you have any insight into how the jury would vote?
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, for me, I had worked really, really hard on building relationships with all of the Galu, because I knew that if I made it to the end, the majority of them would be sitting on the jury. Um, so I felt like I got to know them really, really well, so I thought the voting criteria, I might have an idea of how they might vote.
What's your relationship with Russell, now that you've seen these episodes on TV, and the fact that you were part of his "Dumbass Girl Alliance."
You know honestly, there's no hard feelings. I mean, Russell and I, you know … that's Russ on TV. So, you know, there's more there, and Russell and I will be friends forever.
So Russell, what happened, man?
Um, I don't know. [laughs] Uh, I brought Foa Foa to the Top 5, that's what happened. And uh, I did all the work, and they keep saying how her big move was to get rid of Erik. Brett was trying to get rid of Erik; Brett was telling all the girls that. If Natalie thinks for a second that that five minute conversation got rid of Erik, she's crazy.
Natalie: No, it actually did. I talked to Brett about it. Brett was not going to get rid of him at that time, and you even saw on the recap that that was not the case.
Russell: So you're that naïve, to think that five minute conversation … if you were that good, you could've ran the show yourself; you didn't need me.
Natalie: You know what, I was that good, that time. So take that one to the bank; you can ask all of the girls, and they will tell you.
Russell: Well, I don't believe that. Anyway …
Natalie: You don't have to believe it, but you should.
Russell: You won. Let me tell you what I got. I got rid of every person that was a threat to me. I made the huge move with Kelly, finding an Idol without a clue. I found two of them without a clue. I found another one of them with a clue, with them chasing me. I get rid of the big player at the end of the game, I get John to flip his vote and save your butt. You want me to keep going on? Because I can … but okay, let's talk about your one strategic move.
Natalie: Okay, hey that's fine. We're not just talking strategy here Russell. You did not play the Galu social card, period. They gave me a million dollars, not you. Bottom line; game over.
Russell: Because I was trying to save your ass the entire time.
Natalie: Well then, that's your mistake. That's your loss, period.
Okay Russell, how do you feel about the sentiment that you didn't take the jury into account all season long?
What do you mean?
Well, in talking to Jaison and Mick, and Brett, that's what they think that your biggest mistake was, that you didn't take the jury into account. You put too many people off, and they weren't going to vote for you.
Yeah well, you know, when I went 4 to 8, to the tribe, I had to save my people. I had weak, weak people. I had Natalie, and I had Mick, and I had Jaison; they wasn't helping strategically in the game.
Natalie: Which is not true. Yes we did.
Russell: You gonna let me talk, or what?
Natalie: Go ahead.
Russell: Well then shut up and let me talk. So I go over there, and while they're doing their little thing, you know, getting to know everybody, I am taking my team all the way. I'm not the only person that thinks this; all of America thinks this. I am the fan favorite. I'm the one that they love. Natalie wasn't even nominated for that. So, I worked my butt off to take Foa Foa all the way to the end, while they're playing their strategic game. I mean their social game. I played a strategic game. So, if I don't do that, there's no way in hell Natalie goes anywhere in that game without me. If she would've flipped to the girls, she would've been the first girl gone. It just wouldn't have happened, and she knows that. She knows she's there because of me.
During the heavy rain and the nasty weather, how did you stay so composed, when everyone else was losing their minds?
Uh, you know, it's just, I got focused in the game. I kept my focus the whole time I was there. I knew as soon as I got mentally messed up in the game, it could mess up my strategic game. And I seen everyone else getting messed up mentally; Natalie wasn't so bad in that, she was pretty tough when it comes to the, you know, taking the elements. Jaison, Ashley, even Mick, they were getting eaten up out there, I mean it was really getting 'em down. Especially Jaison. Jaison's a weak, weak person, he's a weak guy, like everybody says. He should've just checked out a long time ago; he shouldn't even have played the game.
But I mean, I just did it. I just tried to focus and just did it.
Natalie, [unintelligible], were you surprised that Erik came in and delivered this Gladiator-esque speech in your favor at the final tribal council?
Absolutely. Because, yeah, typically people go back to Ponderosa and they talk, so I wasn't really sure, you know? Come to find out now that, Erik thinks it's like the coolest thing that I got him voted off. He loves that. Um, so, clearly they did talk at Ponderosa, but I just didn't know how much he knew and which way he knew. So I was afraid at final tribal; I didn't want to lose his vote or anyone else's for owning up to his ouster. So I tried to be really careful and dance around that.
Outside of a million dollars, because that's obvious, what has Survivor done to change your life?
You know honestly, Survivor has done so much for me. I mean it's a very humbling experience, I mean you're so thankful for just your basic items. I mean your basic hygiene items, a toothbrush or toothpaste, you're just so thankful and grateful for those items. Um, you really realize want vs. need, and so the second that you really think you need the razor, you know, honestly you don't need the razor to survive. It's nice to have, but you realize that you need the bare minimum to actually survive.
And you know I really built a lot of confidence in myself, you know, doing things outside my box. So, other than being a really humbling experience, it drew me closer to my friends and family, and just made me realize how important they are to me.
To Russell: Did you ever think about keeping John? [unintelligible] Do you think you would've been able to keep him for so long?
I think that, if I wanted to go there I could've brought anybody with me that I wanted to the final three. Anybody I wanted, to the final three. I was that in control … I was controlling the whole deal. And um, I'm sure Natalie can vouch for that. I had it all under control; I could've picked and chosen whoever I wanted to go. So, I don't know. If I would've decided to bring them, I don't know who gets the votes. Shambo probably wins it. Because Natalie ain't voting for me; she'd be like the rest of them, she'd be salty because I stabbed her in the back, and wouldn't vote for me. I believe Mick would vote for me; he's a pretty strong guy. So you know, I get a vote, and I lose a vote.
Russell, you mentioned the three Idols; how long did it actually take you to find those? Because it seems really fast on TV.
Yeah, I would look in each individual spot, I would look for about four hours, because I didn't want to leave any rock unturned; I wanted to make sure that it wasn't in that spot. So you know, when I walked away from an area, I wanted to make sure that area was clean, and make sure I don't have to go back to it. So, it took a while. It took a good nine hours before I found one of them, for sure. The one under the bridge was pretty quick, but it took about four hours.
Are you surprised that no one in the history of the show has ever thought of looking for them without a clue?
Yeah. I changed the way the game has been played. In ten years of Survivor, you wouldn't have thought that somebody could break record after record and do stuff that's never been done. In ten years you would think it's all been done. But now, the whole game has been changed; everybody's gonna be looking for Idols right off the bat. It's gonna be a madhouse.
Russell, how much of a consolation is the fan favorite?
Consolation? The fan favorite it wonderful to me, because that's a ton of people … I mean, were you there? Did you hear all them people screaming my name in the crowd? That was pretty impressive; I didn't expect that. I win fan favorite? I surely didn't expect that from the first couple of episodes. All of a sudden I went from the most hated to the most loved? It's crazy.
Do you think that your loss had mostly to do with a bitter jury, or was it any fault of your own?
I lost because of a bitter jury; it definitely wasn't my fault, it ain't no way. It was a Boston Rob jury. And he lost because of a bitter jury. It was that situation. But Boston Rob, he had a couple people on the jury that knew the game and knew how to play it. But my people, they were all a bunch of kids when it comes to the game. We got Dave, which is a psycho; he belongs in a mental hospital. We got Laura, which is the psycho's girlfriend, and she don't even know what's happening. [unintelligible] Monica was pretty tough, but she didn't start playing the game until the end. And John, he was flipping all over the place; he didn't know where to go. So they were broke up when I got there, so it was an easy task.
Natalie, way back when you killed the rat, I thought it was foreshadowing that either you were going to flip on Russell at some point, or you were going to beat him in the end. So, good thing you killed that rat I guess?
[laughs] Yeah, there you go! And it tasted really good too. It tasted like chicken.
Russell, do you maybe think the Idols was somewhat easier to find this season?
Sometime they'll make it easy, right/ So that's why I started looking. I know people think, "Oh, there's no way he'll find it without a clue." I seen Yasmin looking up and down trees, and nobody else was looking at Yasmin. She had the clue, and she's looking all up and down trees, so you know what that tells me? It's in a tree. But nobody's looking, because everybody's too busy, you know, getting friendly with everybody. Not playing the game. That's when I found the first one. And then the second one, when they go to their reward. The clue has to first be read, before the Idol is placed. I knew they went on a reward, so that means a clue has been read now. So I start looking.
And the one I got with Dave, I had them chasing me around camp. I know it's by the wall, and Dave's right by it, he can get it, all he has to do is pick up another rock, it's right in his face! But he's too busy following me, to try to keep me from getting the Idol. So I take off running, and he follows me like an idiot, and I lose him and go right back to that spot and I get it from right where he was.
Is that why, did you try not to win that Reward Challenge? Because you knew they would get a clue and you could go back to camp looking for it?
No, I tried to win the Reward Challenge. Because I knew they wouldn't be looking. If I win the reward challenge, I get the clue, and then I'd go get it. They wouldn't be looking for it. They was a bunch of dummies out there. All they wanted to do … the girls on the Galu tribe, all they wanted to do was sit at the popular table and be popular girls and leaving Shambo all by herself. Which was great for me. I got attached to Shambo; that's another big move I made. I made that move getting Shambo to flip, and come to me. So you know, just constantly. I constantly made big moves. That's why America loves me. Because I played a crazy game. And as I watch it, it amazes me that I was so focused in playing that game.
Both of you, do you think maybe it benefitted you guys to lose so many challenges at the beginning? You had experience with tribal council and Galu, maybe their heads weren't in the game come merge?
Russell: I think it definitely benefitted us.
Natalie: I would agree.
Russell: We went down in numbers, and we got to be able to still work it. First of all, when we went to the tribe with only four, if we would've went with five, we would've lost. Because Liz was going to flip. She even said. I asked her, and she said she was flipping. I said, "Liz is flipping, we need to get rid of her." So we needed to go just like we did, with four people. What do you think, Natalie?
Natalie: Yeah. I mean, we had been to … we voted I guess like five people out, so we had been playing the game a lot longer than them. I mean we were forced to. You know, they're hanging out; they had voted one person off. So, yeah it definitely worked to our advantage that we had been to so many tribal councils.
What shocked you the most about that final jury tribal council both you guys went through?
Natalie: Well for me, I've always watched seasons in the past, and you're at your worst mentally, emotionally, and physically, and you're pretty prepared to be criticized. But it seemed extra brutal. It was rough. And you know, they're long. They're a couple of hours, so you get pounded up there, on the last day, when you're at your absolute worst. And for me, I guess I didn't think people would get … I guess people were a little more hateful than I thought they would be. But it makes you fight for yourself, so in turn it was better for me, because I was able, you know, to fight for myself.
Russell: I thought that my speech was brilliant. As I talked, I was laying out everything that I did. I weeded everybody out, and then I tagged Mick alone. I thought that I laid everything out for them. What can you do … weigh it out. If she outwitted me, and outplayed me, give her the money. She was nicer to people than me, but just weigh it out. Which weighs more? That's called a bitter jury. That's what it is. Yeah, she had a better social game than me, but did she have a better strategic game than me? Did she have a better physical game than me? No. So let's weigh it out. When you use common sense, when you weigh it logically, it just seems like it would've had to be my vote.
Natalie: Well it wasn't, because you were so mean to everybody. It's a social game. I mean you have to at least admit that it's a social game.
Russell: Yeah, it's a social game, social game, social game. Let's rename it the social game! Because that's all it is. If it was a social game and only that, and only people like you were playing in it, then you know what would happen? They would've shut it down before the first season would even be finished. Because you're that damn boring.
Natalie: Well, you know what, I may be boring, but guess what, I got the check. So that's all that matters; I don't care.
Russell: [stutters] Yeah, well …
Natalie: Yeah, I know you don't have anything to say.
Russell: You wanna talk about money? You wanna see my bank account?
Natalie: I don't really care about your bank account.
Russell: I don't really care about your check.
Natalie: [laughs] Yeah you do. You wanted the title. You do, you do care. You wanted to win, and you hate it that you didn't win, and I'm sorry that you didn't take into account the jury. You did not play the social card, at all. Period.
Russell: I can't understand how stupid you are. You think the social game is the game. You sit there and say, it's a social game, it's a social game. How can you be that ignorant? How can you be that stupid?
Natalie: Well guess what, I played the player, so just shut it up now.
Russell: Calm down, calm down.
Natalie: You're not used to getting a rise out of me; well, you got a rise.
Russell: Oh, you want me to get a rise out of you? You want me to start working on this? Because I'll get you. I got many, many interviews to go to, all kinds of TV shows.
Natalie: I know you do.
Moderator: On that note, we're actually out of time. Thank you Russell and Natalie for a great season.

Hey guys,
quick question: I have a 2000 1.8T, where is the button for the headlight washers?
I'm not sure there is a button. If you have them fitted I thought they wroked automaticlly when you have your headligths on and you use the windscreen wash.
I'm sure someone else will confirm this.... or not /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Yep, the man is right. The powerwash pops up to clean the lights when they're on when you do the screen.

Is there anyone here who tried phil tones new vintage slant?
I tried some original nvs in a store last year and loved the sound. But there was an airy leaky sound at the same time and I found it anoying so I didn't bought it.
It looks like phil tone has corected the issue with the tip so I wonder if it took
away the leaky sound.
Hope you understand my english

Why the Tea Party is Winning
Tuesday's primaries are just another round of the Republican Party trying to figure out how we are going to be defined for the next two years going into the 2016 Presidential race. Many of the establishment would like to show certain losses as reasons why the Tea Party/conservative wing of the Party should not be given a seat at the table. However, we in the Tea Party see it different. We don't have to win because as of now, we are controlling the conversation. We are making Republicans define themselves and be accountable for their votes.
House Speaker John Boehner won in Ohio by 68.7 percent, which was down from his previous campaign of 81%. While a win is still a win, this much of a drop should be very concerning to the establishment and the Boehner camp considering his closest opponent only raised around $75K in comparison to the millions in the Speaker's campaign coffers. The real interesting part of this election is now serious grumblings from his traditionally loyal supporters in the House are being voiced over whether or not they will support him for Speaker again. Either Boehner not running for speaker or loosing the vote would be considered a win for us.
In North Carolina, those in the Tea Party were hoping for a runoff between the establishment Tom Tillis and the Tea Party's Greg Brannon. The hope, was that a runoff would gives us more time for more primaries like the Chris McDaniel race in Mississippi to show the strength of the conservative movement. Momentum is the key to the Grassroots. But let us not forget that North Carolina is truly a purple state and should not be considered a strong conservative state.
We need to have good candidates represent the conservative movement, hence why not all Tea Party groups have backed Matt Bevin's bid for Senate in Kentucky. In fact the same group, The Tea Party Leadership Fund, who had been working against Boehner in Ohio, endorsed Mitch McConnell. We need to have candidates who have already been vetted and has the actual means to win an election without sacrificing their integrity.
We also need to make sure in future races, we only put one conservative versus an establishment candidate as this is our common mistake and the main reason why we continue to have losses. Candidates in our movement have to remember that they might be able go back to their lives after a loss and in some cases might even be able to profit on their gained name notoriety however the movement will always have a notch in the loss column thanks to their campaign. We need to be smart. Not discouraging the grassroots candidate however we need to make sure that we as Conservatives are honest enough to put our end goal of putting a true Conservative in office as priority instead of offering numerous choices.
Remember revolutions don't just happen overnight. It takes strategy and planning. We are in a long distant run to save our Party not a sprint. There are 100 Senators so just think about the power of any one. One Senator who is willing to stand and fight against a bankrupting healthcare system; one Senator who is willing to speak out to protect personal liberties; one Senator who is not afraid to point out corrupt and misleading proposed laws because of his in depth knowledge of the Supreme law. The light of one honest Senator in a hall of darkness and corruption can save our Country.
Truth be told, neither the establishment nor the Tea Party will ever win a majority of elections again if we don't unite under the disasters of Obamacare, 18 trillion dollars in debt, IRS targeting, the truth of Benghazi, etc.
The establishment will not survive without the passion and hard work of the grassroots or the Tea Party. At the same time, the Tea Party cannot stand on its own without the structure and fundraising of the establishment. The Democrats biggest wish is to continue this divide, as they know we are weak separated.

Kim Ji-woon's "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" is a curious film that will make viewers wonder if the normally accomplished director was replaced early on by a teenager obsessed with the visual appeal of Spaghetti Westerns, but lacking any form of understanding of how a master like Sergio Leone made his films bon a fide masterpieces. Ji-woon's painful film borrows numerous elements from Leone, most specifically trademark scenes, shots, and a penchant for lengthy runtimes. However, Ji-woon has zero idea what to do with the raw materials and crafts a 130-minute exercise in pointlessness and excess that will either drive viewers into complacent submission or make them long for the somewhat understandable excess of "Bad Boys II."
The film opens with the classic Western set piece of a train heist and very quickly we meet our titular trio, The Good, Park Do-won (Jung Woo-sung), a bounty hunter with amazing rifle skills, The Bad, Park Chang-yi (Lee Byung-hun), a murderous crook in a black suit, and The Weird, Yoon-Tae-goo (Song Kang-ho), a slightly off-kilter thief, packing two-automatic pistols. The heist instills confidence in the viewer as Ji-woon chooses to film the interior train scenes in a manner that highlights the claustrophobia of the tight quarters and the mayhem that ensues from a gun battle between The Weird and The Bad's gang of scoundrels. However, once The Good shows up, the camera struggles to make good sense of what's going on and a pattern of action in excess spills out onto the screen, exponentially increasing until the final showdown.
Amidst the gunfights and horse chases, there are some feeble attempts at humor that largely fall flat. No one here seems very committed to their roles, often looking exceptionally bored on screen, a stark contrast to the over-the-top action they are thrown in the middle of. The one exception is Song Kang-ho, when he decides to put some effort into his role, but often ends up saddled with eye-rolling lame attempts at humor. The action set pieces, which are technically brilliant become the frame the film must rely on to carry viewers, since the thin, stock plot, just doesn't cut it. Following the train heist, Ji-woon brings the story to a grinding halt for a good 30-minutes or more, haphazardly dragging out the mystery of the MacGuffin, er, I mean, map, that our trio all seeks; even an eleventh hour plot twist that is portrayed as shocking was telegraphed early on in the film. I don't entirely fault a film of this nature for relying on such a generic driving force, but, I do fault, the editor, for appearing to do nothing aside from shooting the action scenes in the foot.
Ji-woon does give Michael Bay a run for his money in the action department, appearing to go old school, with physical stunts, and it's worth a little applause, but as the film progresses and the sequences grow in length and grandeur, the editing leaves them an indecipherable mess. The messier things get, the more you hate the movie, but still hold out hope the final, all-out battle of rival factions and our trio we'll save the film. It doesn't and only goes to further illustrate Ji-woon really likes certain films, but has no idea why some of these films are good. He draws not only from Leone, but Spielberg, with a blatant lifting of the famous truck stunt, where one of our heroes is drug being a jeep through the desert. Yes, the stunt is technically impressive, but it lacks the excitement and purpose of the original. The same could be said for The Good gunning Japanese soldiers off horses and from vehicles; it's cool to look at, but impossible to understand where the scene is heading or where this piece of battle is in relation to The Bad and The Weird. All it did was make me wish I were watching "The Road Warrior."
When the final showdown limps onto the screen and Ji-woon lifts right and left from Leone, one can't help but cringe. He borrows elements from the initial meeting of Manco and Col. Mortimer in "For a Few Dollars More" because it looks cool, completely ignoring the purpose of the scene in the original film. He clumsily uses close-ups for his final standoff with none of the skill or sense that Leone had when he crafted cinema's finest standoff in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." The sequence is a perfect encapsulation of everything that is wrong with this movie: poor plotting, dialogue that is a step above what one would expect from a 9-year old playing with action figures, sloppy action, and lazy homage's to much better films. "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" is an embarrassing waste of time that will leave viewers wanting their time and money back, provided they weren't mentally beat into mouth agape submission at the spectacle on the screen. If you're looking for a good Leone inspired film, stick with Leone. If you're looking for an over-the-top action film, "Hard Boiled" is still king, and if you want some humor with your action, "Hot Fuzz" or a Stephen Chow film is your ticket. Don't waste your time and money here. If you really need an Eastern Western, Takashi Miike's inconistent, but still fun, "Sukiyaki Western Django" is money better spent. In the meantime, Kim Ji-woon owes Sergio Leone an apology. Skip It.

A Desperate Widow
Once a penniless orphan, Evelyn D'Orsay became a countess and a bride at the tender age of 16. But the flames of revolution forced her to flee France, with the aid of a notorious smuggler. Recently widowed and without any means, Evelyn knows she must retrieve the family fortune from France for her daughter's sake - but only one man can help her… the smuggler she cannot forget.
A Dangerous Spy
Jack Greystone has been smuggling since he was a small boy - and he has been spying since the wars began. An outlaw with a bounty on his head, he is in hiding when he becomes aware of the Countess's inquiries about him. He is reluctant to come to her aid yet again, for he has never been able to forget her. But he soon realizes he'll surrender anything to be with the woman he loves….

"good story."
The narrator could have been better, her male voices weren't very good and there was something wrong with the recording, there was a lot of repeating of words. There was to much dwelling on the heroines feelings and specifications but in spite of that I did find I enjoyed the story.
"Enjoyed it"
I enjoyed the story and the narrator. This is my second Brenda Joyce novel and I will be reading more.

Councillor Peter Demong
Peter Demong
In 1977, a young Peter Demong moved with his family to the newly established community of Lake Bonavista from Saskatchewan. Along with the rest of his siblings, Peter spent his formative years in what are now the most established communities of Ward 14. As long as Peter can remember, conversations with his family around the dinner table were lively. They piqued his interest in history, law, politics, and government.
With his wife Naomi, Peter owned and operated Deer Valley Florist from 1996 to 2015. Married in 1990, the couple reside in the new community of Legacy and are raising two daughters. Over the years, their flower shop became a mainstay in the Ward 14 community, and a soapbox for residents. This is one of the reasons that Peter ran for City Council.
With 18 years as a business owner, and 25 years in the field of Logistics Management under his belt, Peter brings a successful business background to Council, offering the ability to tenaciously manage budgets and understand the needs of small and large businesses alike. His experience speaks to his practical views on civic matters, his knack for effective management, and his commitment to fiscal responsibility. Along with his compassion and sense of fairness, Peter's voice on Calgary City Council is one of common sense and realism.
Among Peter Demong's passions are encouraging citizen engagement, and supporting hard-working community volunteers. His essay contest for grade six students, the Ward 14 Communities BBQ, and his innovative Counciltalk sessions are proof of this. Involved with many initiatives aimed at improving corporate efficiency, he is currently Chair of the Standing Policy Committee on Utilities and Corporate Services.
First elected for Ward 14 in October of 2010, Peter Demong is presently serving his second term as Calgary City Councillor. He currently sits on the following Boards and Committees:
Standing Policy Committee on Utilities and Corporate Services – Chair

Standing Policy Committee on Planning & Urban Development
Co-ordinating Committee of the Councillor's Office – Vice Chair

67-Yard Field Goal Sets State Record (VIDEO)
A Washington high school senior is creating a buzz after he hit an incredible 67-yard field goal as the clock was winding down, to send the game into overtime.
The site of the record breaking feat was Spokane, Washington and for Central Valley High's Austin Rehkow it will be a night he may never forget.
He kicked the 67-yard field goal for Central Valley High in the closing moments in the game against Shadle Park High to tie the game 55-55. Central Valley eventually won the game 62-55 in overtime.
Rehkow's field goal set a new Washington state record comfortably exceeding the previous mark of 62 yards that was set back in 1929.
Statistics from The National Federation of High Schools revealed that Rehkow's kick tied the mark for the second-longest high school field goal ever. The current record of 68 yards is held by Dirk Borgognone of Reno, Nev., and was set back in 1985.
What makes this feat all the more impressive and special is the fact that the current NFL record is 63 yards and has been reached by three kickers in NFL history.
The call to make the field goal attempt came from Central Valley head coach Rick Giampietri and he revealed that he knew the ball had a good chance the moment Rehkow hit it.
Giampietri explained that he had two options, try a "Hail Mary" pass or go for the long field goal, but Giampietri felt confident in his kicker.
''It wasn't spinning real fast. He hit it right in the belly…It went between the uprights," Giampietri told AP, adding that ''he's kicked 60-yarders before in practice."
Rehkow said that when he got the call a rush of adrenaline overcame him and he was able to make good contact with the football.
''I went out there and you get that extra adrenaline going. I let it rip. Luckily it stayed through the uprights and once I saw the arms go up (from referees) it was just an overwhelming feeling of joy,'' Rehkow told The Spokesman-Review.

yeah, seeing them live would of been amazing. I only ever saw them on TV
i saw them live and it was incredible they performed a few live shows
lucky, wow so lucky
i taped WaveAid for them
Good review, probably your best yet.
I enjoy this band, even though I don't have this album and probably won't be buying it anytime soon I still enjoy the band from time to time.
thnx man
It's a great tribute, with my hero providing brilliant vocals in the second part. Chris Cheney is also fantastic, but what do you expect? Does anyone know if they're going to do something else in the future?
i doubt it, they dont even have an official website
thats such a kick to the groin, but we can only hope that they decide to get together and do something new, but it will probably take some time as all the people involved would gave to organise free time that fits with everyones schedules.

I learned of this organization while the owner was promoting at a Military Spouse event. She really makes such a difference in the lives of those serving our country. These care packages mean more than most of us will ever know the value of. She has sent packages out to my husbands unit and the contents exceeded anyone's expectations and really touched the hearts of the men in 3/7 USMC.

text: It's getting to be that time of year again when it's time to start thinking about Halloween! So I was thinking that since I was Ariel last year, this year I will be Ursula. The problem is, Ursula is purple.... and I'm not. And I don't want to put hours into a costume just to get purple makeup all over it when I put it on. :/ So the question is... How do I make my face, arms, and chest purple without making a mess?

In Reply to: Re: What causes autism? posted by Maria on July 25, 2000 at 14:14:15:
Thank you for your kind words. I printed them out and showed them to my friend, just to prove that she does not have to go through this alone. She is feeling much better and researching her options. What I do not understand is, why does this happen? I have heard that it is genetic, but there is also the concern about certain vaccines that has recently been raised. Which also raises moral questions about what we should do (because I dont' think there's any question that the vaccines have saved more people from disease, than they have caused autism). Is there some sort of DNA test or something available that they can check, maybe during an amnio, that can identify the tendency for autism? I checked dna.com but I couldn't find any specifics.
: : As a mother of an Autistic child of course the mothers/parents feel guilty .But please tell you friend that it is certainly not her fault. Remember that her baby was sent special from above and is no different that any other child except that he just needs special love and attention. The doctors feel that children are born with this disability,that it takes place very early on in pregnancy, but it dosen't show up until 18 months to 2 years of age. that is when the parents see noticable difference. Tell you friend to get her child involved with an Early Intervention Program, and ABA (Applied Behavior Anaylsis)My child has been involved with this since he was 2 1/2...he is now 4...he can speak, sing, say the alphabet, potty trained, request things that he wants, etc...hopefully if all goes well he will be in pre-school next year and maintstreamed the next. Tell your friend there is light at the end of the tunnel!!! She needs to call the County she lives in to see what services they have, and to get involoved with organizations in her area.Good Luck and tell her to keep the faith!!!!

Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, the chair of the NBA Board of Governors, says he will work quickly to try and convince Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell the franchise.
Yesterday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that Sterling has been banned from the league for life and fined $2.5 million.
All of this was a result of racist comments that Sterling made which became public just a few days ago.
It's not the first time that a team owner has gotten in trouble for making racist statements. In 1978, Minnesota Twins owner Calvin Griffith told a Waseca Lions Club audience that he decided to move the Twins to Minnesota from Washington when he found out that there were only 15,000 black people here.
Nick Coleman, a reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune at the time, was in the audience that day and reported what Griffith said. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Coleman about what happened.

Goodbye and good riddance, August! Today has been one of THE hottest days ever and I have to say, I'm over summer. Over. It. I'm also not afraid to say that I've been rocking this Morticia-Addams-on-summer-vacation look for the past three days. It's the only thing suitable for 100*f heat. I've noticed that New Englanders get a little rough around the edges this time of year, we've experienced a little bit of fall and are now being subjected to an indian summer, we've exhausted our summer wardrobes and are pining for sweaters and tights, just give us 65 degrees already!
This look is kind of faux-styled: just a dress, but pile on enough hardware and you look like you might know what you're doing! I've had this studded leather cuff since sophomore year of high school. A few years back I passed down most of my band t-shirts and studded jewelry to my brother, but I couldn't part with this piece. It aged so well, I knew I would want it in the future.
I can already tell you that posting will be light this week, we're expecting three more 90+ degree days before it cools down this weekend and I'm planning on hiding out wherever there is air-conditioning. I'm also insisting on not cooking, it's take-out tonight!
Oh! also, look what we found out front of Chris' work today:
I've never seen a Praying Mantis in real life before! This one was huge, I'm thinking it must have been female? She was hanging out on the windowsill this morning, admiring her reflection.
