Fantasy Football Analyzer
by: Scappy Apps • 1
All Android applications categories
by: Scappy Apps • 1
Want to win a fantasy football championship? Fantasy Football Analyzer uses NFL stats and prediction algorithms to customize NFL player rankings for you based on your fantasy football league settings! You can add in-depth scoring settings based on passing, rushing, receiving, kicking, kick returns, punt returns, defense (team-based) and defense (IDP, individual defensive players).
Are you in an IDP (Individual Defensive Player) league, a PPR (Points Per Reception) league, or even in a default Yahoo, ESPN, or NFL.COM league? By entering your league's scoring settings, this app will tell you which players will be the highest scorers. The player rankings will automatically change based on the scoring settings provided!
This is especially handy for IDP leagues and custom scoring leagues, where sometimes IDP players are drafted later in lieu of offensive players. Now, you are able to see if a defensive player will statistically outscore an offensive player, and get the heads up on your opponent.
I developed this application a couple of years ago as an experiment because I noticed I wasn't doing as well in the IDP and custom scoring leagues. After using this application for last year's draft, I made the championship game in one of my IDP leagues and won the other! The $0.99 is probably a drop in the bucket compared to what you'll spend for your fantasy football league fee. I promise you'll see great results!
10% of the proceeds will go towards the Infinity Visual and Performing Arts. Infinity Visual and Performing Arts creates and sustains an environment in which young people, based solely on their desire to participate, can grow, learn, and lead through participation in the visual and performing arts.

Named Islamorada (Purple Islands) by the Spanish in the late 1800s, this tropical Florida island has been a favorite destination for legendary storytellers like Zane Grey and Ernest Hemingway. In the mid-1940s, a small inn called Olney Inn opened right smack on the Atlantic. Its first guest was President Harry Truman, followed shortly thereafter by Edward R. Murrow and other political Washington elite. Frequent transformations of the lodge brought avid fishermen from around the world, including perhaps the most famous angler, George H. W. Bush, who came so often he established an annual Bonefish Tournament raising thousands of dollars for various charities.
Today, the inn has been transformed into a world-class resort and spa, Cheeca Lodge—the perfect spot for an unforgettable family vacation. Trust me when I say that you'll find every comfort and every delicious morsel you could desire at Cheeca. But here's what I really want to tell you: You and the your children can choose from more activities than I have room to write about. There's snorkeling to North America's only living coral barrier reef, paddling through the Everglades in a sea kayak for amazing wildlife viewing, fishing with a skilled captain, parasailing to touch the clouds, windsurfing, paddle-boarding while enjoying the beauty of the Islamorada waters, and joining Camp Cheeca to learn about wildlife and marine habitats in the Florida Keys—all happily arranged by the lodge staff.
Off-resort, pretend you're Captain Nemo as you navigate the exhibits at the History of Diving Museum, enjoy an island ride in a Clydesdale horse-drawn carriage, meet a dolphin or ride a bottomless boat at the Theater of the Sea, stroll through the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, rent a Tiki Jet (the world's first water-powered jetpack taking you airborne for 15 to 30 minutes), and visit San Pedro Underwater Archeological Preserve State Park, the final resting place of one of the 21 Spanish galleons that sank in a 1733 hurricane.
For off-resort dining, Green Turtle Inn is a breakfast must, for Coconut French Toast and Keys Benedict with Blue Crab Cake. Lazy Days Restaurant is kid-friendly, fun and delicious. Lorelei Restaurant & Cabana Bar is the place to enjoy conch chowder, live entertainment and brilliant sunsets. Pierre's Restaurant is for Mom's and Dad's night out. Ask for a table on the balcony and enjoy fine dining and the most civilized, enjoyable sunset on the island. And remember this about eating out in Islamorada: Most restaurants will cook your catch; and you absolutely must have at least two or three slices of key lime pie before you leave.
Shopping is as funky and laid back as the island. Look for the gigantic lobster out front of the Rain Barrel Artisan Village, where you'll find kitschy island stuff. Latitude 25 Clothing Company will outfit you and the kids in swimwear, sandals and Tommy Bahama. And for the ultimate in fishing gear, there's a truly outstanding Bass Pro Shop. You could spend all day here, enjoying the lovely art gallery, the Zane Grey Lounge, and perusing the 'Pilar,' sister ship to Hemingway's beloved boat.
Grab the kids and a bucket of bait or some fancy fishing lures, and try your luck in the 'Sport Fishing Capital of the World.' The fish won't care…or as Herbert Hoover once said, All men are equal before fish.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I acquired the wig from Fantasy-cosplay-wigs on eBay and tweaked to my liking.
The top is two parts. The first was made from white spandex and is essentially a tube top. I then cover it with drug-store gauze that sticks to itself once it's in place.
The bottom, which you can't really see, is made from the same white spandex as the top. I made a pattern from a pair of tights I already had only it goes down to just before my knees.
The hakama is made from red denim-like cotton. I used Folkwear pattern 151, Hakama and Kataginu. I used appliqué (HeatnBond Lite) for the flames at the bottom; the fabrics were similar to the red. For my back board, I fused some spare red to a few pieces of 16th of an inch-thick piece of interfacing. It is washable this way but still stiff as a board and bendable like professional hakama.
I originally wanted to do the tattoo with Hollywood Ink Henna pens and a stencil, but when we got to the convention Friday, we saw they had temporary tattoos in all of the colors we needed and we figured that'd be easier and faster. Plus, most of us were wearing things the next day that would've shown the guildmark so we didn't want them to clash. XD;;;
The sword featured is actually my Shiki sword, but I will be making the Benizakura to go with this costume sometime soon. c:
And speaking of late add-ons... I also didn't have the time to make her earrings but I intend to do that soon as well. I will be purchasing the crystal-like pieces from crystalprismworld on Etsy, altering them and spray painting them silver. I don't have pierced ears so they will be added to clip-on bases. c:
- Personal Thoughts:
- This is my favorite outfit of Erza's for deeply personal reasons. I have at least 4 other outfits I want to do for her but I knew this one had to be first. c:

The bottle says vanilla and musk and it contains neither. The scent reminds me of eggnog...which I love but I don't want to smell like it. For a holiday scent yes. For the rest of the year no. As for the lotion, it does leave a sticky grease like feeling on your skin. Get this on sale or clearance only!!

Thread: Your favorite baby name book?

Your favorite baby name book?
I've never picked up (or even looked through) a baby name book until yesterday.
A surprising statement coming from a name nerd on nameberry of all places, I know, but a book with endless lists of thousands of names I have to weed through to find even one that fits my taste bore me. Then, at the library, I found a book called Hello, My Name Is Pabst by Miek Bruno and Kerry Sparks. My view on name books has completely changed.
Some of the names included are quite ridiculous and not to be taken seriously, I hope (XBox360, +, Whatchamacallit, Etymology, etc.,) but there are also some gems in categories that I couldn't help adoring (Sinclair, Priscilla, Walt, Linden, Philomena, Orson, Lars) in a format that kept me intrigued!
Now, I'm thinking I'll give one of Pam and Linda's books a go. (Please don't hate me for not doing it yet, ladies!) So, berries, do you have a particularly beloved baby name book?08/16/2015 ♢

I love the Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg. She's developed, along with her computer scientist husband, a series of algorithms which accurately predicts style families and likely sibling names. It's eerie. In addition she provides a subjective take on each name-- no "this is a Greek name meaning 'light-bearer;' rather 'most commonly seen in the world as a name of Satan.; etc. P&L do this in their books as well.
For name arcana I enjoy Kay Sheard's book, "Llewelyn's Complete Book of Names." It has a decidedly pagan twist and I am decidedly not pagan but I still enjoy it very much.Blade, MD

I used to have one whose title escapes me at the moment; it had maybe 100,000 names. That ended up being a quantity-over-quality issue. For example, nobody is seriously considering naming their child Cash Money (hopefully), but this was listed. Wish I still had the book, just for the entertainment value. Gave it to an expectant friend years ago, though.
I really like the current release by Pam & Linda: The Nameberry Guide To The Very Best Baby Names. My only minor gripe with it is that it's missing one of my children's names (Zachary) in favor of a variation (Zachariah). Harrumph! Easy enough to justify, but I still think Zachary's going to come back!Mom of James Daniel (13) William Joseph (12), Elise Marie (10), Zachary Allan (4), and George Thomas (2)

I second this - it's a real favourite. There are lists, which can be interesting, but I really love looking up my favourite names and exploring the suggested brother/sister names for further inspiration.
I also like 'Baby Names Made Easy' by Amanda Elizabeth Barden. It groups names by similar meanings, so if meanings are important to you this is a winner.
I've got a few of the Nameberry E-books (Best Boys, Best Girls & Off the Grid Names) and liked that they were easy to read and had a good selection of names. Basically they've hand picked some of the best names and given a more in depth description - kind of like the descriptions here on the site. I personally preferred the e-books more than 'Beyond Ava & Aiden', but that was because they are more about just the names, whereas 'Beyond Ava & Aiden' is better if you are also after naming advice.
Hope that helps

Another one for the Baby Name Wizard, I love that the little name blurbs are objective, and I LOVE names categorized by theme in name books (which is why I bought Pam and Linda's "Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana" as my very first name book).
I tend to get most of my name inspiration from language academy/ preservation/ governance sites, though. Name books are good, but only so many international names make it in to English language name books (which is all that's available here).Lucia
Name aficionada, traveller, teacher, wonderfully enamoured

Barrichello revives title hopes with win
Rubens Barrichello has grabbed his chance to win the European Grand Prix by showing the best pace and benefiting from the best race strategy of the field. Pole man Lewis Hamilton finishes second while Kimi Raikkonen claims his second consecutive podium for Ferrari.
Ahead of the start, the air temperature at Valencia is 31°C with the track rising to 47°C. Several commentators have spoken about situations alike at Bahrain.
Most drivers will start on the option tyre, the super-softs that were also present at Hungary and Monaco. Alonso meanwhile is starting on the prime tyre which is approximately 0.4s slower a lap but doesz not suffer as much from graining.
When the lights go out, Hamilton holds first position easily, ahead of his teammate and Barrichello. Raikkonen moved up to 4th thanks to his KERS system. Alonso meanwhile gained a place while Jenson Button is down to 8th place.
In the middle of the pack, several drivers battle closely for position, resulting in 3 pitstops for a new nose cone. Renault rookie Grosjean is the first, followed by Glock and Buemi. All three get their option tyres changed for primes.
Luca Badoer meanwhile made a good start but was the cause of Grosjean's broken front wing. He later that lap also spun off and is quickly up for a lonesome and boring race.
5 laps into the race, Button is further down the order as Webber is able to benefit from a slight mistake of the Briton. The championship leader is now out of the points and finds Robert Kubica right behind him.
By lap 10, Hamilton has pulled a gap of 5.7 seconds on his teammate, who on his behalf is 2 seconds ahead of Barrichello. The gaps behind the Brazilian are all fairly small, usually a few seconds between different cars. Kimi Raikkonen is 4th, Vettel 5th, Rosberg 6th, Alonso 7th and Webber 8th.
Interestingly, Jenson Button has by now lost 2 seconds on Webber. Still behind the Briton is Kubica, Heidfeld, both Force India cars, Nakajima and Trulli. Badoer is still 17th, the three drivers behind him have had to make an early stop after car damage in the first lap.
On lap 16, Hamilton makes his first stop, taking on another set of super-softs in 9.4s. Vettel and Kubica follow suit while Hamilton rejoins the track behind Alonso.
Kovalainen is in on lap 17, as well as Alonso and Vettel again as the team were unable to refuel his RB5 in his previous pitstop.
Barrichello has now taken over the lead and sets the quickest lap of the race with a clear track ahead of him. Button has meanwhile gained some speed and has caught up with Mark Webber. Things are suddenly looking much better again for the Briton now that Vettel has droped down to 16th place.
Raikkonen and Button make their stops on lap 20. Barrichello, Rosberg and Webber dive into the pitlane one lap later. Both Brawns have taken a new set of primes while Raikkonen is fitted with the super softs again.
22 laps into the race, Hamilton is now again in the lead, 3.4 seconds ahead of Barrichello. Kovalainen is a further 5 seconds down with Raikkonen 5s more.
On lap 24, Vettel is out with another Renault engine blown. He is able to stop at a fence opening, making it possible to remove the car from the track without requiring a safety car. Vettel was only using this Renault engine since Saturday morning and this event will certain not help Renault to convince Red Bull to keep using their engines next year.
On lap 29, Badoer is into the pitlane, with right behind him Grosjean. After their stops of equal length, the cars are side by side to exit the pitlane, but Grosjean takes the track first after putting the throttle down earlier than the Ferrari driver.
On top of that, Badoer is handed a penalty for crossing the white line at the pitlane exit. There was absolutely no reason to cross that line as by that time Grosjean was already ahead of him.
On lap 37, Hamilton is in for his final stop, taking on the prime tyres. The team was however not ready with all the tyres, requiring Hamilton to stand still for 13.4 seconds. Barrichello meanwhile is putting in a string of qualifying laps, hoping to show up in front of the McLaren after his own pitstop. The Brazilian said ahead of his race that this would be his chance for a race win.
In lap 39, Barrichello and Raikkonen are in. Barrichello is easily in the lead. The gap is approximately 4 seconds.
Nakajima on the other hand has had a punctured rear left tyre and eventually lost the tyre thread somewhere along the circuit before arriving in the pitlane.
In lap 43, Alonso is in the pits, as well as Button. The Briton was just behind Webber before he stopped.
2 laps later Buemi spins off the track with lots of brake dust coming off of his left front brake. It looks like his race is over.
After Webber also made his stop, Button has moved up to 7th place, ahead of Kubica and Webber. Red Bull is now virtually scoring zero points compared to 12 for Brawn GP.
Towards the end of the race, several drivers are upping their pace in an attempt to gain another few points. Lewis Hamilton for instance is pushing hard to put the pressure on Barrichello despite the gap still being 4s with only 4 laps to go.
Nico Rosberg is also going quickly and is closing on Kovalainen who is in 4th place. A mere two seconds are seperating the two men.. Finally, Jenson Button is in a similar situation as he is chasing Alonso down for 6th place.

You must differentiate two things: native code and standalone code. SBCL always compiles to native code, newer versions even implicitly (i.e. when you #'load a .lisp source w/o file compiling it before, or when typing in forms in the REPL). However, there's no way to generate standalone code (i.e. a self-contained program where you don't need the sbcl runtime binary to run). However, "standalone"-ness isn't really a black or white property anyway. Usually, C programs need other files to run too (things like ld.so and the shared C standard library). So the difference is more gradual: the sbcl runtime is installed on less machines, and it uses a different mechanism to start up (i.e. you must do more things manually or in a wrapper script). The best thing to do is to use #'sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die (use #'describe to view its documentation) to dump a core with your application code inside, using :toplevel to specify your main function to run. Then build a small wrapper shell script of the form #! /bin/sh exec sbcl --core /path/to/your/installed/application.core --noinform \ --end-runtime-options ${1+"$@"} Distribute the sbcl binary, the wrapper script and your core file, perhaps together with some installer that patches up the paths in the wrapper script before installing the files. Or put those files into a package for your favourite OS distribution (and don't bundle sbcl if there's a sbcl package for that OS already, use package dependencies then). Kind regards, Hannah.

To obtain a task, you must first be able to see them of course. So firstly, head to "Projects" on the left menu near the bottom. Congrats, you can now see some of the most recently updated tasks! However you see limited information on them, so find the "Tasks" button on the horizontal menu bar above "Welcome (your name)" and click it.
The first column should be a clock like image. If a task has notification enabled, this image will appear colored, otherwise, you'll see it as greyscale. Next column is the number of comments on that task. Then a thenext column has a little 'computer screen' like image will give you a small menu when you click on it. (depends on permissions what you see here).
The next one should be obvious. The name of the task. Should you see "[something here] Name" That is either a reference note and/or the commission for the task completion. The column immediately after that is who the project is assigned to. If it reads "0-Unassigned" then the task is available for anyone to pick up. Else the task is assigned to the person mentioned here. The circle then shows the priority of the task, grey is normal, orange is medium, and red is high. Please try to make sure that the higher priority tasks get done as quickly as possible. The second to last column is the number of days remaining to complete this task. And the last column is which project the task relates to.
To claim a task, first find an unassigned task.then click its name. You should see information pertaining only to that task now. Make sure you want this task and CAN complete it (if you can't you'll just make the task drag out longer than really necessary and I might get annoyed). If you meet both of those requirements, then click the "New Comment" button and simply post a comment saying you claim the task. As soon as the comment is seen by Darr or Doc, the task should be assigned to you. You can go ahead and start working on it if you wish. Do note that if the task was already claimed in this manner, you can't "steal" the task by making a comment after theirs.
If you have any questions, find Darr or Doc on IRC, or comnet message them.
Good luck and happy VEEC`ing

OAKLAND — A 17-year-old boy and a man have been arrested on suspicion of robbing 10 casual carpoolers in Rockridge on Monday morning, police said Tuesday.
Both suspects have been identified as the robbers by some of the victims, and the 17-year-old Oakland boy, whose name was not released, admitted his involvement, Sgt. Todd Mork said.
Police served a search warrant at the 17-year-old's West Oakland home and recovered three pistols, including one believed used in the robberies, Mork said.
The other suspect, 22-year-old Delante Johnson, of Oakland, has denied being involved, police said.
The victims were among more than a dozen men and women standing in line in the 400 block of Hudson Street near Claremont Avenue under Highway 24 about 8:55 a.m. Monday, waiting for carpool rides to San Francisco, when three males wearing hooded sweatshirts approached them on foot and demanded their valuables.
One of them, believed to be the teenager, had a gun, and nine people were robbed of backpacks, cellphones, iPhones, purses and wallets, police said. Another man did not lose anything to the robbers, police said.
The robbers fled in a silver Honda and a witness was able to get a partial license plate.
Officers Chris Crabtree and Luis Espinoza stopped the car in the 2900 block of San Pablo Avenue about 11:30 a.m. The boy and Johnson were detained and taken to police headquarters after some victims brought to the site were able to identify them, police said. A third man in the car was questioned and released at the scene.
None of the property taken from the victims has been recovered. Police believe some of the stolen electronic items may have been sold to other people before the car was stopped.
Mork said the suspects did not decide to rob the carpoolers until they saw them standing in line. "It was more a crime of opportunity," he said. He said police are investigating if the two have been involved in other robberies.
Both the boy and Johnson were arrested on multiple counts of armed robbery. Police said the district attorney's office will decide if the boy will be prosecuted as an adult on in juvenile court.

Sanchez Signs Deal
New York, NY - The New York Jets and quarterback Mark Sanchez reached an agreement on a five-year contract Wednesday.
The Jets made the announcement while Sanchez, the fifth overall pick in the NFL draft in April, was still at practice during the afternoon session of minicamp.
``This is just the beginning,'' Sanchez said after practice. ``I'll be working everyday to justify this contract.''
Financial terms of the deal were not immediately available, but it was expected to be for quite a bit less than the $41.7 million in guarantees Detroit gave top pick Matthew Stafford as part of a six-year deal worth up to $78 million.
``This allows for two things,'' Sanchez said. ``First, it's one huge thing behind me, a big weight lifted off all of our shoulders. They know that I'm all about football and that's all that I have to focus on now. Secondly, it allows me to get involved in the community here and back home.''
Sanchez led Southern California to a Rose Bowl victory over Penn State with a record-setting performance in his final college game. He's competing with veteran Kellen Clemens for the Jets' starting job, up for grabs after the retirement of Brett Favre.
``The one thing that really comes to my mind is, breath of fresh air and, wow, let's go now,'' Sanchez said. ``Let's really compete for this job and let's get into camp. I'll be in on time and I have nothing to worry about there. It's time to focus on football.''
New York's last two top picks, linebacker Vernon Gholston and cornerback Darrelle Revis, reported to training camp late while trying to negotiate deals.
``We had some discussions a few weeks ago,'' general manager Mike Tannenbaum said of Sanchez's representatives. ``I give them a lot of credit. We were trying to create a sense of urgency, even though it's still early. ... We didn't think there was any need to wait if both sides could create that sense of urgency and if both sides could come up with a deal that was good for both sides.''
Added Sanchez: ``It sends the right message. It's not in my makeup to hold out like that. That would've just been terrible for me.''
Sanchez has impressed at times during organized team activities and minicamp practices, showing lots of poise, confidence and good decision-making skills. He and Clemens have been about even in their competition.
gain confidence as you go,'' Sanchez said earlier Wednesday. ``Now I am starting to really feel the defense and see what is going on. As difficult as our defense can be I am starting to get an idea.''
The Jets made a bold draft-day move to get Sanchez, acquiring the fifth overall pick from Cleveland and former coach Eric Mangini for their first-round pick, their second-rounder (No. 52), and defensive end Kenyon Coleman, safety Abram Elam and quarterback Brett Ratliff.
Sanchez went 14-2 as a starter with the Trojans. His lack of experience - he had only one full season as a starter - had some questioning whether he was truly ready for the NFL, but the Jets loved what they saw of him in private workouts and a classroom session in a hotel room at the owners' meetings in California in March.
After drafting Sanchez, coach Rex Ryan said there would be an open competition for the quarterback job.
``We've got two really good quarterbacks, and the competition is going to be fierce,'' Ryan said on the first day of minicamp Tuesday. ``At training camp, it's going to be a great battle.''
Sanchez already is becoming a fan favorite, with several fans in the crowd at minicamp wearing his No. 6 jersey. He also has gotten lots of attention, befitting that of a budding star in New York, with a swimsuit spread in GQ magazine, throwing out the first pitch at a Mets game and tabloids wondering about his love life.
But Sanchez says he's concentrating on his game on the field.
``I think that more than anything, the next couple of days are vital,'' he said. ``I have to show that I'm really coming along from rookie camp. Then next week, we have rookie OTAs for first- and second-year guys and rookies. With all of the veterans gone, that is my chance to really take charge and assume command of the offense.''

If Toyota Motor Corp. needs affirmation that its strategy to collaborate with suppliers is working, it should review the findings of the 28th Annual Supplier Survey, conducted this spring for Ward's.
Japan's No.1 auto maker ranks first among 79 Tier 1 supplier representatives who were asked to identify their three most-preferred auto maker customers.
With 51.9%, Toyota tops DaimlerChrysler Corp. (46.8%), which is widely recognized for improving the supplier/OEM relationship in the 1990s.
Chrysler's crosstown rivals fared well in the survey, as well. Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. (at 44.3% and 38.0%, respectively) beat out Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. for the No.3 and 4 slots in the survey.
The study was conducted between May 2 and June 16 by Prism Business Media's Marketing Research Dept., a corporate sibling of Ward's based in Minneapolis, MN.
The sample was constructed carefully to ensure a broad cross-section of suppliers. For instance, to prevent the large organizations of Delphi Corp. and Visteon Corp. from skewing results, participation of employees from each of the two companies was limited to 1.5% of the sample.
Overall, 157 supplier representatives answered the question from all tiers of the supply chain. However, Ward's factored out the 78 non-Tier 1 responses, because Tier 1 suppliers deal most directly with OEMs and are in the best position to answer the question.
With all 157 responses tallied, the top four players were the same, in slightly different order. Ranking No.1 was DaimlerChrysler, followed in order by Toyota, General Motors and Ford.
The survey findings conflict slightly with the Working Relations Study released recently by Planning Perspectives Inc. in Birmingham, MI.
The Planning Perspectives study asks the question: "Based on your firm's working relations with the OEM and assuming equivalent sales and profits from each OEM, to what degree is the OEM a preferred customer?"
The question is asked with regard to North America's top vehicle producers: GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. For the past five years, the scores have changed but the rankings have been the same in the Planning Perspectives study: Toyota has been No.1, followed in order by Honda, Nissan, Chrysler, Ford and GM.
Planning Perspectives President John Henke Jr. says the divergent results reflect the nature of the individual queries.
The Ward's question draws a connection to a supplier's revenues and profitability, so suppliers with significant Big Three business are more likely to score GM, Ford and Chrysler higher than in the Planning Perspectives study, which looks more specifically at the health of the working relationship, Henke says.
"We both have very legitimate and accurate results," he says. "These results are reasonably consistent."
Meanwhile, a few respondents to the Ward's question wrote in other answers in identifying with whom they prefer to do business: Mazda Motor Corp., BMW AG, Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd., Kia Motors Corp. and Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (Subaru).

In fact, "video game mode" doesn't quite do it justice. It's more like he used a cheat code for "can't miss," because the kid went absolutely insane over the final 6:30 of the third quarter against the Nuggets last night. He scored 22 points, at one point hitting seven straight shots to essentially put the game away.
Words and shot charts don't explain how good Curry was feeling. This video shows all of his points in that stretch, and it's just incredible to watch:
When you're passing it off the defender's arms, getting it back and scooping it in for a lay-up — to say nothing of the pull-up three-pointers — you know you're in the zone.
On ESPN, these highlights were accompanied by various tweets from… football players. Apparently Curry is so good he transcends his own sport (though I guess it'd be pretty awkward if Ty Lawson was tweeting "Wow, Steph Curry is really good!!!" so good thinking, ESPN):

Budget will hurt job creation in West
During his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama promised that jobs would be his No. 1 priority.
He didn't say "some" jobs — he said jobs.
Story Continued Below
Obama and his administration have immediately made it clear that they will continue to pick winners and losers in our economy. The president's recent fiscal year 2011 budget proposal opened up the administration's latest front in the war on jobs in the Western United States.
While Obama and members of his administration were quick to describe the budgetary taxes and regulations as part of their battle against Big Oil, the truth is that these measures directly hurt American workers and kill red, white and blue jobs.
This couldn't come at a worse time.
In Wyoming, oil and gas producers and related industries are already struggling to make ends meet. The rig count is down, and folks have been laid off. The Wyoming Department of Employment reports that employment in the state's oil and gas industry increased slightly in November 2009, after a loss of thousands of jobs over the previous year. The last thing energy workers need is for the administration to take steps that will send them back to the unemployment line.
The president's new budget includes several measures that will discourage job creation in the West. First, the budget will levy $36.5 billion in taxes on American oil and natural gas production. This includes removing tax incentives that independent oil and gas producers heavily rely on to invest in their businesses. These producers are my constituents. Many of them are small-business owners or employees. In fact, independent producers — not Big Oil — develop 90 percent of domestic oil and natural gas wells. They also produce 82 percent of U.S. natural gas and 68 percent of U.S. oil.
Second, the budget will impose a fee on nonproducing oil and natural gas leases. This policy ignores the fact that successfully bringing a lease to production takes years of research, investment, environmental analysis and bureaucratic-hoop jumping. In many cases, the federal government's restrictions and stipulations, along with environmental lawsuits, are the primary reasons for delays in bringing leases into production. The administration's budget reveals a stunning lack of appreciation for oil and natural gas jobs and a flawed understanding of American energy resources and demands.

Food and nutrition security should be the top development goal: FAOListen /
There's a call for food security and nutrition to be the central element in future development efforts. According to a global multi-stakeholder consultation which discussed the world development agenda beyond 2015, new development objectives should be established for the entire global community.
The one-day consultation on Hunger, Food Security and Nutrition in the Post-2015 Development Agenda stressed that food security and nutrition represent the cornerstone for progress on other development fronts such as employment, education, the environment and health and in achieving a quality future for humankind.
Opening the meeting, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva urged the international community to commit to the complete eradication of hunger in setting its development priorities beyond 2015 – the target date for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted in 2000.
He said "In line with the UN Secretary-General's Zero Hunger Challenge, and in close collaboration with development partners, we agree that nothing less than the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition is what we should be striving for".
The Rome meeting emphasized that sustainable development goals should strongly complement poverty eradication efforts when it comes to food security and nutrition. Furthermore, new development objectives should be agreed upon not just for developing countries but for the global community as a whole.

During 2013 a 14-year-old massacre was once again in the spotlight in the Republic of the Congo. Congolese Gen. Norbert Dabira, who was in charge of reintegrating former rebels in Congo, was arrested in France in August. He was accused of having participated in the 1999 disappearance and presumed death of approximately 350 refugees, who the Congolese government suspected were Ninja rebels. Returning from the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo following the signing of a cease-fire, the men had been taken from the ferry and never seen again. Dabira was released on bail and was to remain in France until the investigation was completed. In 2005 a Brazzaville court had acquitted Dabira and 14 other army officers of having taken any part in the massacre.
On the economic front, the World Bank and Congo announced in March that they would together provide $32.6 million to protect and preserve Congo's forests. Forestry was second in economic importance only to oil exports, which accounted for 80–90% of the national budget. On May 25 Brazil canceled all debt owed by 12 African countries, including Congo. A large Malaysian corporation planned to invest about $744 million to increase production of palm oil, which would help reduce Congo's dependence upon imports.
In January the UN Population Fund issued a statement that maternal mortality rates had fallen sharply in the country, thanks to the establishment of prenatal and maternity clinics. Congo's indigenous Pygmy women, however, had little access to these services and remained increasingly likely to die in childbirth.
After publication of a 2012 report condemning conditions in the country's jails, Paul Morossa, the director general of the prison service, admitted in early 2013 that overcrowding was a huge problem. Two prisons, dating from the 1930s and '40s, held several times the number of inmates that they were originally designed to hold.

I like both, but I like Dior Homme more.
Count me among the Dior Homme lovers. It has a soft leathery element that I really like, which is unusual for me because I normally don't like leather scents (at least as I know them). Brit is good, but I've avoided buying it because I think I might get tired of it quickly.
I like DH & BB, but I prefer Kenzo Power over either...
I find both to be magnificent. If I had to pick I'd take the Dior... just
Oh, like I was going to be silent on this one!
Choose to believe, choose joy.
Scelga di credere, scelga la gioia.
Dior Homme is one of the best releases in the past 20 years or so IMO. A truly amazing achievement that I am looking forward to wearing again soon.
Dior Homme is way more an interesting, classy scent - as a scent in itself. Another thing is that I myself won't wear it, because I don't find it masculin enough to wear it.
Dior Homme definitely for me. I find Brit to be too harsh/cloying on me...
Why choose - despite the similarities you mention I think they are sufficiently different (British ginger-rose vs. French Iris-cocoa) to own both, which I happen to do .
Dior Homme.
Dior Homme can't be defeated.

Brit is a nice scent.
Dior Homme is one of the best scents available today.

Brit is agreeable and classy, but Dior Homme is downright audacious. Homme gets my nod.
I can't believe not one person chose Brit!!! When I first bought Brit, I thought it was great. It was my most-trusted fragrance for formal suit & tie occassions. When summer came around, I started wearing it less, and by the time winter came around-I had several fragrances to choose from, so I kinda neglected it. I have Dior and haven't worn it that many times, but I do like it. They kinda serve the same purpose for me...they make me feel like I smell particularly business-like, these two and Burberry for men probably more than any other fragrance I own.
I had my reservations about Dior, but only really doubted Brit after all the damn powdery comments on here. But because of the good feelings I've had wearing Brit, I REFUSE to choose Dior. I'll just say I like them both.

Oh damn, that's a close one. I will have to go with Dior Homme, though. It's one TRULY addictive scent.
Burberry brit without a question...not even a comparison....most of the general population would agree..however most of the basenotes population would not.

Hah, humbug.
For the longest time there, it looked like bah, humbug.
But, ha, the Edmonton Oilers continued living large, continued living lucky or whatever it is we've been watching.
Don't ask why, don't ask how, just go with the ho-ho-ho flow and behold the hometown hockey team going into the Christmas break sitting in a position in the standings where they haven't been since Gretzky was a child.
It was another Miracle On 18th Avenue for the team which is now on a five-game winning streak, having come from behind in every one of those games by either two goals or more than one goal deficit during those games.
Both Edmonton and Los Angeles went into the game on four-game winning streaks - the Kings looking to come out of the Western Canadian Triangle with wins in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton on the same swing for the first time in their history.
Both teams went into the game with a chance to emerge in first place in their division.
And when it all shook down, as the Oilers came from behind 3-2 after two to win 5-3, Edmonton headed to the holiday with 46 points, first in the division and, if you can believe it, second overall in the Western Conference.
This is a team which killed 12 consecutive power plays to win. This is a team which has produced at least an overtime or shootout loser point for the standings every game this month.
This is a team which hasn't lost by more than one goal since a 3-1 loss in Chicago on Nov. 13. This is a team which hasn't lost by more than a single point at home since the 7-1 drubbing by Colorado on Oct. 21.
As the Oilers head home or phone home to family and friends at Christmas, they're all going to be asked the same thing.
"Are you guys for real?''
With that in mind, I took a tour of the dressing room after the game last night asking them the same thing.
"I think so. I hope so,'' said captain Jason Smith. "We want to be a team which will play 60 minutes night after night and for the most part, we've been doing that.''
Chris Pronger almost seemed offended at the question.
"Look at what we're doing to win. We're coming in waves and waves. Teams are getting tired and frustrated when we get to the third period.
"We grind on you. And they know we're going to keep coming.''
Shawn Horcoff, who had three third period assists last night, gave it the Santa Claus approach. Real is what you believe.
"We believe in ourselves. We're not half way through the season yet, but we're playing the way we want to play the rest of the way.''
Ales Hemsky, with a goal and an assist broke his total of 34 points from the last NHL hockey season, said things are happening here not just with him but all sorts of players.
"We have a lot of young players who are knowing how to score now. I think we're going to keep knowing how to score.''
One of those is Jarret Stoll who scored his 12th and added an assist to move up to 34 points, said look around.
"There's a lot of confidence in this room. We feel we're for real in this room. Our success has all been on how hard we work as a group and we're working very hard as a group making things happen right now.''
Michael Peca, who in the last couple of weeks has finally been the player the Oilers thought they got, says he thinks this team is for real.
"I really do. There's a lot of belief individually and as a group. Personally, all of a sudden things are starting to click.
"As a team, I think a lot of this goes back to the seven-game losing streak. What we found out during that streak that while we worked hard we had to not just work hard but to execute as well.''
Ryan Smyth, who drew both a four-minute and two-minute penalty late in the third period, said there's no way this team should go into the Christmas break self-satisfied.
"We've found our stride, that's for sure. But the key is making sure we come back from Christmas and play the same way.''
Coach Craig MacTavish?
"I don't have to answer that question. Time will bear that out. We've had a pretty good run over a short time. If we're for real we'll do it over a long period of time, a year, a couple of years ...''
They've made it a Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year is TBA.

LADY JUSTICE BUTLER-SLOSS: I will ask Thorpe LJ to give the first judgment. 2. LORD JUSTICE THORPE: In this appeal the wife is 44 years of age. She is one of two children of Sir Denzil and Lady McArthur-Onslow of Mount Gilead in New South Wales. Within the appeal papers it is said that the McArthur-Onslow family were amongst the earliest settlers of that state and their property at Mount Gilead is extensive and historic. 3. The husband is the seventh baronet of Monkton Farleigh in Wiltshire. In 1978 the wife was admitted a solicitor in New South Wales and two years later she obtained an MBA from the Graduate School of Management in Sydney. No doubt that was intended to prepare her for contributing to the management of her family estate. It was in 1981, after her move to Mount Gilead, that she met the husband and a casual friendship developed between them. After an interval of almost a decade, they met again in 1990 and their relationship deepened. 4. In October 1992 the wife sent the husband as a birthday present a ticket to Australia. He used it in February 1993 and shortly thereafter they became engaged and they married on 5 June 1993. 5. One of the sadnesses of the case is that the couple were unable to have a child. I have no doubt at all that this bore on the subsequent deterioration of their marriage. In April 1995 the husband suggested to the wife, who had by then returned to Australia, that there should be a separation. However, the wife returned to this country. An attempt was made at a reconciliation and in the summer the couple underwent IVF treatment. That proved vain and certainly by September 1995 the husband regarded the marriage as at an end. It was not until May of the following year that he petitioned for divorce on the grounds of the wife's conduct. 6. The wife's response was an answer that merely denied the breakdown of the marriage. There was no movement through the summer and autumn and the District Judge gave directions for the trial of a defended divorce. However, in January 1997 the wife amended her answer to cross pray for a decree on the grounds of the husband's conduct and on that basis the marriage was dissolved by decree nisi on 1 May 1997. 7. On 8 May the wife filed her application for ancillary relief in Form A. I interpose that, to my knowledge, this is the first time that an ancillary relief case prepared under the pilot scheme procedure has reached this court. It demonstrates the efficacy of the new procedure in containing what could in this instance have been even greater unnecessary development. 8. Despite the restraining effect of the new procedures, at the first appointment on 11 August the wife's counsel stated that a conduct case would be developed. Thereafter no less than five affidavits were filed by one side or the other, dealing with the wife's case of conduct. At the same time the more necessary aspects of an ancillary relief application were developed to show that the wife had over half a million pounds that had been inherited from her grandfather, together with shares in a family company that were only likely to achieve their current value of £140,000 on the demise of her mother, plus the likelihood of inheriting about £1.5M on the demise of her mother. On the other side, the husband declared by a process of self-assessment a worth of about £8.5M in land, shares and cash. I say self-assessed because he very sensibly took what I would call the Thyssen defence, namely that he could afford any order that the court might make,...

Becoming a Christian may be primarily an act of commitment and faith, but it also means joining a lifelong sport with its own peculiar rules for success.
That, at any rate, is the view expressed in a sprightly new satire called Games Christians Play (Harper & Row; $3.50).
The authors, Protestant Housewives Judi Culbertson and Patti Bard, define some of the more popular plonks, gambits and counterploys:
·Mary Martyr is a game in which women excel. The participant undertakes all manner of thankless tasks with no sign of complaint, "except for the darkening circles under her eyes," until some kind soul...

Park wardens have been ordered to stop and interrogate anyone who is not accompanied by children.
The visitors who are quizzed have to explain their presence and risk being thrown out or reported to police if their answers are not satisfactory.
The policy has been introduced at Telford Town Park in Shropshire. The council which manages the 420-acre area says it is a 'commonsense approach' aimed at safeguarding children.
But park users accused it of 'authoritarian madness' and said the ruling risked panicking parents about the dangers faced from potential paedophiles.
The policy came to light after two environmental campaigners dressed as penguins were thrown out of the park last month when caught handing out leaflets on climate change.

SHERBROOKE, Que. -- A defensive end on the Bishop's University football team is in a coma Monday after receiving a violent blow to the head during a game against Concordia University.
Kevin Kwasny of Winnipeg was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage Saturday following the Gaiters' 25-18 home loss to the Stingers.
Kwasny, a 6-foot-1, 230-pound social sciences student, left the game in the first half with no apparent problems.
But he complained of severe nausea at halftime and was taken from the campus field in Lennoxville, Que., to a hospital in nearby Sherbrooke, 120 km east of Montreal.
His condition was listed as stable.
Doctors will have to wait until swelling subsides before they can determine if Kwasny has suffered permanent brain damage.
"There has been no change since Kevin was admitted to hospital," Bishop's spokesman John Edwards told QMI Agency.
"The next 24 hours will be critical to his health. All we can do for him now is pray."
Edwards says it's not clear exactly when Kwasny was hurt.
Kwasny's parents flew to Quebec from Winnipeg on Sunday evening and have been at his bedside since then.
A team meeting was held Sunday to tell Gaiters players about their teammate's condition.
Kwasny was in his fourth season at Bishop's, a small undergraduate university of 2,000 students in Quebec's Eastern townships.
