do women flirt with you?
of course.
why would you want to be married to a man who is not desirable?
good point!

life with you is beautiful, graceful, and amazing... don't get me wrong, it can be difficult, painful, frustrating... life with you is beautiful, graceful, and amazing because i experience all the six flavors.

But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.

- My love, the salmon needs to be cooked tonight
- Is there a way you would like to cook it?
- Funny you should ask...
- Yes?
- I have been craving something.
- What is it?
- ... Fish soup
- Well, salmon doesn't work well in soup
- ...
- It just doesn't taste right in it
- ...
- Alright, I have an idea
- Yes?!
- I can make you the French fish soup - we have sardines - with tomatoes.
- And will you put the salmon in it?
- (laughing)
- Because, like you said, we need to cook it tonight..
- But it tastes terrible in soup!
- ...
- (laughing) You just want that salmon in the soup, right?
- Right..
- OK, I know what can be done.
- What?
- You know how salmon has two parts, thick and thin?
- Yes.
- I can slice off the skin and put the rest into the French soup. I will stuff the skin with nuts, etc. and fry it. Would you like that?
- Yes!...but..
- What?
- I would rather you spent time with me, than cooking..
- It would take twenty minutes!
- ...
- What else?
- Nothing...
- (laughing) Something else you still don't like?
- I do...
- Tell me!
- No.. you will get upset..
- (laughing) Come on, tell me!
- I just would rather have clear fish broth instead of the French soup.. Made with salmon..
- Yak! it's going to taste terrible!
- ...
- (laughing) Alright, salmon broth it is! God, I love this woman!

- I just realized something.
- What?
- How do you feel?
- Not good. You?
- What did you realize?
- You did not think that my offer was fair!
- ... How do you know? I didn't say anything.
- Was that it?
- Yes.. no. Let me see if I can explain it. I actually thought it was very fair. But on some level I felt it was somehow insulting. And I felt awful afterwards. Because I started thinking, almost planning for this eventuality... I hated that!
- But what would I do, if... Start from scrach, rent an apartment. I thought about it, too.. Would you want me to be in this situation?
- ... I just realized something, too!
- Yes?
- I realized what was missing!
- What?
- You asked me to trust you to take care of me. I do!
- Yes. And?
- Do you trust me to take care of you?
- Yes!
- Good. Because I also want to take care of you.
- I trust you! How do you feel?
- Good! That is what I want! I want us to trust each other! How do you feel?
- In love!
- Me- too! I am so glad you called back (-:

- I hated that question that I asked you!
- About what I would do?
- Yes.
- Why?
- Because on some level I feel it broke the magic.. the unspoken agreement.
- But this was a sensible question. I have been scared, too.
- I know. But your trust is unwavering. Also...
- Yes?
- As always in scary matters, I hear my mother's voice, flawlessly aiming for my weakest spot.
- What is it?
- That you did more for her. That you treat me differently, because you take me for granted. That I love you too much for you to treat me with the same respect.
- Does it feel to you like I take you for granted?
- No.
- I don't like it that you live through your mother!
- I don't. I just hear her voice and I don't know how not to. Actually, I don't want it to stop, I just want to be able to identify it as her voice. Then I can decide what to do for myself. That's who I am!
- I understand. So what would you want?
-I want to trust you and I want not to have asked the question in the first place..
Posted by w.b.l at 9:04 PM 0 comments
-I want to ask you a question that I have had for a long time.. I just didn't realize I did.
-What happens with my... our place if ...?
-I am knocking.
- I would take what I put in it.
- Do you feel better? Oh would you like to write something up?
-Yes. No.
-Do you trust me?
-Yes. And I don't want to live the life where I don't trust you.

i just can't believe you did that. even though you were in a difficult relationship.
that was a long long time ago.

- Perhaps, next time, you could tell me that you are upset?
- But I didn't know why..
- Well, tell me exactly that. That you are upset, but don't know why.
- But I didn't even realize I was upset.
- I see. Then what do we do with this?
- I don't think there is anything we can do.
- Why?
- Because in order for me to do something you like, I would have to change who I am. And I cannot do that. I am an obsessive brooder, you see.
- (laughing) I don't want you to change.

good morning my love!
are you upset at me?
is it
because you couldn't find that thing in the middle of the night?
because was too dark to see anything?
and you had to turn on the light?
and the light woke me up?
and i would be irritated because you turned on the light?
and just to be safe, you are preemptively upset at me?
you are a goofball, you know that?

you are right. i guess deep inside i am a chauvinist. in any case, one of them does.
oh? which one?
what happened?
do you love me?
yes. i do. that bad eh?
well, i am afraid that you would lose all your respect for me.
we were at the water park. we passed a couple of lifeguards- barely 18, budding beefcakes, with trunks barely covering their cracks.
i turned to the other two women and said, "let us go change and start drowning here."

- Because of our iPod discussion?
- Probably.
- Was it something I said?

- Yet you spent 20 minutes med.. making your case?
- Yes.
- And even though you said it was my decision in the end, you didn't like it that I disagreed with you?

possible that
people fall in love with each other

in these stories, these movies,
people avow their undying love
after mere seconds of,
well, yes, incredibly flirtatious conversations.
i don't believe this can happen.
i refuse to believe it!

falling in love and
being in love.

- Do you still think he is just trying to be friends?
- I do. So far he hasn't unveiled his intentions. Everything he says can be taken as either an innuendo or just plain friendly.
- I see your point...
- What do you think?
- i think he is just bored and perhaps lonely.
- You mean to say, the man just needs some action? (laughs)
- If you want to put it this ...incredibly flattering way... (laughs)
- You know I am so gaga about the world!
- i know. And I am so sceptical. Nine times out of ten I see something very trivial.
- I like the way you see it, it's fascinating.

- Sometimes it's dead on.
- On the other hand, I like how you always give people the benefit of the doubt.
- But this is such a pedestrian response! I am disappointed!

- After 10 hours, anyone can do better!
-OK. Give me an example.

when they sense that
you are not jealous, that
you know with absolute certainty, that's when
they know that they don't have a chance.

i have a story to tell you!
tell me tell me!
ok, at the class, i recognized this guy from the practica. he asked how long i had been dancing. i told him not long. and he said, "REALLY? i thought you have been dancing for years! you two are amazing."
(heh heh)
anyway, i said, "well, thanks. but really she is amazing, and i just walk." and he said, "BUT YOU LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER!"
i said, "you know what's funny? lots of women come up to her, totally disregard me, and compliment her all the time. but none of them ever says anything to me." so he said, "well, of course! women would never say that to a man. it takes another man to tell you that you look good!"
(cracking up)
so, by now i am feeling pretty grand about myself, right?
i BET!
a few minutes later, he sidled next to me and said (he was clearly obsessed with this), "i can't believe that you don't know that you LOOK GOOD!"
i can't wait to dance with you.
me too...

This is... difficult. Understanding requires listening. I can tell you that no one else understands me as you do.
Would that be no one else on Earth, or in the Universe?
i don't think you miss me at all!
what are you talking about?
i miss you terribly.
uh huh.

something is happening. i don't understand it. i don't understand it at all. in fact, i am afraid to even think about it, because i am afraid that angels are keeping track, and i am afraid that they might tell god. i am afraid that they might find out what i am feeling. i am afraid that somebody, someone, some god, would decide that i am having more than my fair share. i don't want to give it up. i don't want to share! i want to keep it, keep this, this easy contentment. this tranquil tide that washes over me and cleanses my mind.

Love, I had the most horrendous time last night at the dance.
She kept talking to me and telling me all the things that I was doing wrong.
What a bitch!
I have been wondering whether it was me, or her. I mean, clearly there was no chemistry... Her actions and words completely emasculated me.
Trust me, it was most definitely not you. I know how you felt. Remember that time when I danced with a "famous instructor?"
Yes. He was awful. Absolutely no balance. If he were to face me on the mat, I would have taken him down in a second. No equilibrium. No grace.
YES! I was so glad when you told me that. Remember how shaken I was after him? I didn't know whether I was the awful one.
Oh my! Your every movement exudes grace.
I love the way you analyze dance, through your fighter eyes.

Last night I had a date.
What did you do?
He picked me up, we went to the opera, and then to an Italian restaurant for desert.
How was the opera?
Awful. But we kept making wise-guy remarks and euphemisms. Every time the guy was mentioning "his castle," we were cracking up.
Sounds like fun.
It was.
So, who is the guy?
He is this tall trim man with nonchalant manner and a posture of a fighter or else a dancer. An Asian prince! He has kind inquisitive eyes, shy smile, and a face I could not take my eyes off the whole evening.
So, I take it you liked him?
He is a sporadic driver, but, on the whole, yes, he definitely is a keeper.
Hmm. BTW, I also had a date...
Oh? Can you describe her?
Stunning and goofy at the same time. You know, she was wearing something... really nice, but was completely comfortable in it.
Nice? Do you mean something that looked like liquid silk poured over her body that made young men blush and elderly ladies frown in dissaproval?
You are not very good at descriptions!
All I know is that you are a gonner, but I cannot really imagine her...
Perhaps because she is indescribable.
Smooth (-:
Do you know what is the best part about a date with you?

You know, though we call it "our home," it's more yours?
It has your styles, your rules.
It does not feel like home to you?
It feels more like home than my place.. But I still feel like a guest here.
And, except for my clothes, it's not like there is a lot of my stuff here.
There is a toothbrush,..
Yes (smile)
Kitchen stuff.
You know..
Perhaps it is always the case.
What do you mean?
That it is a woman, who makes the home and sets the house rules; and it's a man, who brings the food and protects the home and people in it.
You have a point.
Like it says in one of Kipling's stories.
Who is that?
Kipling, as in the Jungle Book.
A-ah. And?
"In the beginning, there were a lot of wild creatures roaming the earth, the man - the wildest and most uncivilized among them. And he would have stayed this way, if not for the woman."
So, what happenned?
She invited him into her cave to live and the first thing she asked him to do was to wipe his feet at the entrance.
I know what I ll do.
I will clear this shelf for anything you want to put there.
My love, you don't have to do this.
I know.
So, what happened next in the story?

in the quiet of the night in the comfort of our room in the cradle of your arms i understand the meaning of friendship.

for years i hid my thoughts so that i would not be shamed and ridiculed so that i would not feel stupid dumb weird strange crazy for years this is what i did this is what i did to be normal so that other people would say that i am normal so that i could belong.
some times i found myself unable to stop and to tell the world the stuff that was inside my head and when i realized that i had exposed myself i hurriedly retreated to that safe place where i was just that guy just that person who is kind of strange but is generally a nice guy and i would sigh with relief that i escaped those awkward moments when people would not know what to say to me.
i have not been able to stop myself to hide myself to run away to reveal myself to you and i was afraid i was very afraid i was so scared that you would walk away simply walk away you would discard me because you would see that i am a stupid shallow ignorant fool and that you would laugh at me and tell me that i am worthless.
and even when you tell me that you love me you adore me that you are mine i was still so afraid so scared that you would discover the real me and you would laugh at me laugh at me like other people have laughed at me and made fun of me and dismissed me rejected me.
until last week.
i am ok now. i am so happy that i cannot sit still i cannot stop the music that has been playing inside my head for days and days and days i just know that i can tell you i can tell you everything.

I had the most incredible dream!
You remember that I told you about this dream I have had since I was seventeen? The one where I am suffocating, and no matter how much I yell for help, no one comes? The one where I KNOW I am in a dream and I cry out for help, for someone to wake me up, but no one does?
Last night, I couldn't breath again. Strangely, I was calm. I pointed to my neck and waited. A man stuck a tube into my mouth. When I turned around, you were right there.
I am always with you. I will always be with you.

my love, i encountered a wonderful moment today. as i was having lunch, a woman sat at the table next to mine. she called out to her partner, who beamed when he saw her. the connection between them was so powerful that i, several feet away, felt my heart beat with recognition. just as they prepared to leave, he turned to her and said, "thank you my love."
at that moment, i wanted to shout, "i love you!"

"no discussions." yes yes yes. so i look at myself in the mirror and i am so ashamed at my weakness, so obvious, in my eyes. and then, i remember those words you said to me. seven words. and i realize that this is the tangible proof that i should not need, but that i do.

Wait! Is it emphatic, empathic, or pathetic?
Heh heh! Yeah, let's go for pathetic listening next time...
"You know, when you said... I felt..."
"That's pathetic!"
Wow, that was definitely emphatic.
Yes. Did you also feel my empathy?
you know my philosophy right?
so it was hard for me.
how do you feel about it? do you regret it?
naw. it is a stupid rule.
i AM SO GLAD you said that. because, you know... (ok best keep my mouth shut)
not that it's a bad rule...
... the thing is, being responsible means knowing when to break the rules.

yes, i remember this feeling, it marked the beginnings of dissolutions.
i see. and how do you feel now?
that makes sense.
it does?
sure. those tears came from suffering in the present, reminders of the past, and fears about the future. i think you are recuperating.
yes! i AM recuperating.
and, you don't want to feel any more pain during recovery. it makes sense to me that you are numb. i am right here with you.

"when you... i felt..."
"i can understand how you would feel this way..."
well, you see, it is not that i want to hear that you understand me. i don't want you to repeat my words. what i need is to KNOW that you feel my suffering.

we have not found

I had a moment of panic...
Why? Was it because of my questions this morning?
A little... Tell me again why you are sure?
I am serious.
We could not sleep last night because we were laughing uncontrollably.
I keep laughing all day thinking about it.
(tartly) You were a little curt on the phone...
I am sorry. I was shopping.
And then..
Cannot tell you - it's too embarrassing. Besides, you are busy.
OK. Do you trust me?
The message from your ex you forwarded for printing...
Did you erase something? (Yes, I acted like a miserable snoop)
(laughing) I did not - it was just the directions.
I am so relieved... and thoroughly ashamed.
Yeah - the person with an outlook file named "guys!"
Well, not that long ago, I used to go on a lot of dates.. How else would you name a file like that?
I found the name endearing. That and the fact that you trusted me with it.

an easy slow morning. i am reading my favorite magazine. again, people write about love, loss, temptation, grief. as is always the case when i read the words from this magazine, i cry openly and i shake uncontrollably, not knowing when my face would dry.
nothing makes sense to me, you know? sure, i have said to you that everything between us makes sense. but but but, this magic (damn i hate it when i cannot come up with words to say what it is that i feel) is... well, where did it come from? we have lived a life separate from each other, in our own ways, looking for evidence that love exists in the way that we believe it should be, between two people.
i recognize what it is that these writers try to explain to me. they are telling me about the evidence that they have collected. i used to think that love is not the same for every one. i used to think that our peculiarities twist and stretch love to fit our beings.
now, i think that there is one love. whatever love is. whatever love means.

Oh yes. You shave ice.
Then, you top the ice with
creamed corn...
(Blech! Allow me to pucker my face to express my exuberance.)
What's creamed corn? That sounds disgusting.

I might need a traveling companion.
Perhaps I can be of assistance finding you one?
Sure. But I have lots of requirements.
Great. We here relish challenges!
I mean.. For example, I would need her to always walk 10 paces behind me.
Not a problem!
She needs to be witty...,
I can see you are what we call a "picky customer." (Though, I would call you something else at this point)
Her eyes should emanate irresistible sparkles.
Due respect, sir, afraid something like this would be too expensive.
Oh? (Don't tell me what I cannot afford, little punk!) You mean you don't have anything like this?
We do. However, she has her own requirements.
First of all, you would have to be flexible.
I can be very flexible!
And your eyes would have to emanate...
Ha-ha-ha! You don't tell a man, his eyes are "sultry."
If you just let me finish...
I mean, no man wants to hear that his eyes are sultry!
If I could...
I refuse..
Oh. Still, I don't think this is possible...
Once again, due respect, sir, I beg to disagree. I have witnessed this phenomenon myself! (was blushing like a dork, too)
I wonder..
Can I get you to be my travelling companion?

On the other hand, I would need a travelling companion, while you are away.
Oh? Then, I would need a travelling companion, as well.
Fine! As long as I vet him.
I mean, I will take him to my favorite vet...

I think we just had our first fight.
It didn't feel like a fight.
How do you know?
It was a fight because
We both felt a sense of grave injustice.
And, a deep bruise, rather than superficial indignancy.
So, what do we do now?
Be watchful, and nip it in the butt.
I love you.
I love you.

how is it possible that
i love her so completely?
how is it possible that
i accept her so completely?
am i fooling myself?
am i deliberately blind to
faults flaws imperfections?
will everything come crashing down?
i have not been more honest with
my own feelings, ever.
i am more me me me.
i feel safe completely safe absolutely safe.
i am becoming stronger of body of mind of soul.
i am invincible.
we are an incredible pair.

Darkness of ignorance.
Blinded even more by a lack of courage.
Stumbling into people and situations.
By sheer luck of chronic stumbling,
into them,
found my calling, my space, a couple of friends,
and you,
"my half."
Discover with sudden awe
The real meaning behind cliches..
Stupid love songs, cheesy movies, even fairytales...
"True love," "i recognized you," as if "we've known each other..."
After years apart and hours together
to put painstakingly unearthed conclusion
into careful words
and realize their commonality.
"I always feel my soul's with you..."
Banal, inflationary, and pompous words,
are they the shortcuts
of many lucky lives
of those who felt exactly this?
Have we lost our originality
Together with "our hearts?"
Exchanged specialness
for the sense of constant falling?
(what a bargain!)
Have we become cliche,
"My chosen one,"
by joining the ranks of those
blessed by love?

i am starting
to think that
we have been lovers
for many lifetimes.
be my lover
for eternity?

can i be the man next time?
we can swap each life.

How dorkishly clumsy, vulnerable, powerless...
(I used to laugh at people like this.)
How patient, alive, abunduntly powerful!
Now I laugh at the way I used to be before,
my former cockiness worn out to the bare soul
through initiation.

I am upset that
I cannot express my thoughts clearly!
Why does this surprise you?
Difficult ideas are difficult.
But everything is effortless between us.
Well, OK, almost everything.
What was difficult, in past lives,
is effortless.
What was impossible, in past lives,
is merely difficult.
I treasure these difficulties.
Markers of our deepening connection.

Whoever told me that
I would be good at this?
That I would not freak out
at the first sign of trouble,
whether real or perceived.
That I would stand strong and impervious,
When careless words, other people's agendas, and
deadliest of all, the sound of casual distance in your voice,
magnified by bad connection,
Assault our fragile castle made of sand.
Why did I think that
This would be easy?
To accept not just those you love,
but also others, those you no longer do...
The strings they choose to pull
out of merciless ignorance or stubborn hurt
Now are attached to me, as well.
Same address: Give me strength to bless
this new responsibility towards them...
If for no other reason, then because
They are no longer loved by you.

why do we feel fear and uncertainty?
because this is too good.
would you knock on wood?
knock knock knock (spit spit spit).
and this makes sense to you?
we have never felt this before.
we are afraid to lose this.
we are afraid this is not real.
the fear makes this
the real thing.

How do I know that we are soulmates?
After all, it's only a hypothesis, and
Belonging is more than just good sex,
effortless communication, confluence of interests,
even happiness or freakishly consistent timing...
Because I never believed in soulmatedness
before I met you;
Because of how I feel with and
without you;
Because I have never stopped talking to you.
(Now, I just do it out loud...)
Because it's your reactions I looked for;
Because I am most myself with you;
Because I cannot help being myself with you.
It's not a dogma,
just a constantly challenged hypothesis...
Because coincidences are too frequent to be coincidental.
Perhaps they are shortcut signs distilled through
long different roads we traveled
to arrive at each other,
after all?

I want to sink my teeth

With a net of thousand tricks
from up my sleeve
I want to catch it
and digest it -
to have you fully mine, dissolved within...
A dreadful moment
of grabbing frenzy
and selfish thirst,
in its devouring destructiveness
of the priceless gift,
you offer freely and care-free.
I pray to some unknown presence:
let me be good for him.
Give me strength
to let him go daily, every minute.
...Perhaps to choose to grace me, too..."

And as i rise
to welcome a new day,
I find you

NORTHWOOD — The Coe-Brown Northwood Academy girls cross-country team has received an at-large bid to the Nike Cross Nationals, to be held this Saturday in Portland, Ore.
The bid comes on the heels of a third-place finish at the Nike Cross Northeast Regional meet last Saturday in Wappingers Falls, N.Y.
Coe-Brown co-coach Tim Cox said he received word of the at-large bid on Sunday morning.
"The girls are in a bit of disbelief," Cox said. "They were so focused on placing first or second (on Saturday) that when they did not accomplish that goal, they were pretty disappointed. It's like a second life to get one of only four at-large bids from across the country."
Hannah Parker was the Bears' top runner, finishing the 3.1-mile course in 18 minutes, 51.4 seconds. She qualified for nationals as an individual, but the team missed out on an automatic bid to nationals by not finishing in the top two. Coe-Brown scored 129 points to finish behind winner Unionville, Pa., (85) and Lower Bucks, Pa., (101).
"The team raced really well," Coe-Brown co-coach Brent Tkaczyk said on Saturday. "Everyone did their jobs. We had some tight competition from the Pennsylvania schools, but we definitely did everything we could."
Also running well for Coe-Brown were Elisabeth Danis, who was 11th in 18:58.9; Jessie Carney, who was 17th in 19:15.9; Brooke Laskowsky, who was 35th in 19:41.6; and Megan Scannell, who was 57th in 20:02.7. In the boys' race, Coe-Brown's Jeremy Brassard was 22nd in 16:18.7.
"Should be a great experience for them and an honor to represent their school, community and state of New Hampshire against the 20 best teams from across the country," Cox said.

Since PVR is not included for Eden, we will not workaround this bug, because to us its more important that regular users do not see the livetv option then that pvr users do see the option.
No problem, appreciate the explanation. Is there a way to force it in the xml? I tried playing around with the conditional but no luck so far, I am probably missing something obvious.
Edit: Nevermind, it was something obvious - I was obviously not paying attention Simply removing the conditional from the include in settings.xml did the trick. Could of swore I tried that but I must have fat-fingered something.
Thanks for all your work, by the way. This is really shaping in to a great update. You mind if I give feedback on PVR stuff, and if not is this thread the place to do it?

In case you hadn't heard, J.K. Rowling wrote the script for the film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," and fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming prequel to the "Harry Potter" universe.
Now we know another exciting detail — "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be the first in a trilogy about magizoologist Newt Scamander.
In a casual tweet to fans Monday, Rowling wrote that while the London play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" will not be a movie, "Fantastic Beasts will be three movies."
You heard wrong, I'm afraid. #CursedChild is a play. #FantasticBeasts will be 3 movies, though! https://t.co/7tvw4rolcR— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 29, 2016
And naturally, fans are excited about the new info.

@jk_rowling OMG! Will Newt visit another wizarding schools in the next movies?— Thiego Novais (@ThiegoNovais) February 29, 2016
The first movie of the trilogy will hit theaters November 2016 — learn everything we know about the exciting prequel here.

Granger accepts invitation to Team USA camp
The NBA's Most Improved Player and first-time All-Star is adding yet another honor to the list.
Danny Granger is among 25 NBA players to accept invitations to participate in the 2009 USA Basketball Men's National Team minicamp July 22-25 in Las Vegas.
The selections were announced by USA Basketball Chairman Jerry Colangelo from the organization's headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The July USA Basketball Men's National Team mini-camp will feature practice sessions on July 23 and July 24 at Valley High School, and the mini-camp will be capped by the USA Basketball Showcase, a Blue-White intra-squad game, on Saturday, July 25, 8 p.m. (PDT) at the Thomas & Mack Center on the campus of UNLV.
Tickets are now on sale for the 2009 USA Basketball Showcase, with seats priced at $10 to $75. Tickets can be purchased through www.UNLVtickets.com or 702-739-FANS.
Also accepting their invitations were: LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers / Texas); Trevor Ariza (Los Angeles Lakers / UCLA); D.J. Augustin (Charlotte Bobcats / Texas); Jerryd Bayless (Portland Trail Blazers / Arizona); Ronnie Brewer (Utah Jazz / Arkansas); Glen Davis (Boston Celtics / LSU); Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder / Texas); Rudy Gay (Memphis Grizzlies / Connecticut); Jeff Green (Oklahoma City Thunder / Georgetown); Blake Griffin (University of Oklahoma); Devin Harris (New Jersey Nets / Wisconsin); Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia 76ers / Arizona); Kyle Korver (Utah Jazz / Creighton); David Lee (New York Knicks / Florida); Brook Lopez (New Jersey Nets / Stanford); Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves / UCLA); O.J.

"While we look to continue to build continuity within the USA national team program and continue to improve, in 2009 we will get a look at some of the top young NBA players who haven't been involved in USA Basketball at the top national program level previously. Although some of these players have represented USA Basketball in the past, this is their opportunity to be considered for the next generation of players who will help make up the USA Basketball National program. As was the case in 2005-08, the roster for the national team program will be fluid in 2010-2012 and we will make adjustments to the roster each year to help insure we have the strongest program and the strongest teams possible," said Colangelo.
Twenty-one of the 25 expected mini-camp participants have prior USA Basketball team experience.
Aldridge, Bayless, Durant, Green, Iguodala, Mayo, Rose and Russell were all members of the 2008 USA Basketball Select Team that trained with and scrimmaged against the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team in Las Vegas, while in 2007 Harris, Iguodala and Lee were members of the 2007 USA Basketball Select Team that trained with and scrimmaged against the 2007 USA FIBA Americas Team in Las Vegas.
Additionally, player involvement with USA Basketball includes Durant and Oden who were selected as members of the 2007-08 USA Basketball National Team program; Davis and Gay were members of the 2005 USA Basketball U21 World Championship Team; Brewer was a finalist for the 2005 USA U21 Team and a member of the U.S. squad that played in the '05 Global Games; Bayless (2006) and Iguodala (2002) were members of USA Basketball U18 Championship teams; Bayless (2007), Durant (2006), Gay (2004), Love (2007), Mayo (2007), Rose (2007), Smith (2004) and Young (2006) were named to USA Basketball's Junior Select National Teams that competed in the Nike Hoop Summit; while alums of the USA Basketball Youth Development Festival include Augustin (2005 YDF Red Team), Lopez (2005 YDF Red Team), Mayo (2005 YDF Blue Team), Oden (2005 YDF White Team), and Young (2005 YDF Blue Team). Finally, Ariza (2002) and Griffin (2006) participated in USA Basketball trials.
The mini-camp list of attendees also includes numerous 2008-09 NBA award winners.
Chicago Bulls rookie guard Rose was selected the recipient of the 2009 NBA Rookie of the Year award, while Mayo, Lopez and Westbrook ranked second through fourth, and Love listed sixth in the award voting in 2009. Durant won the award in 2008. Claiming 2009 NBA All-Rookie first team honors were Rose, Mayo, Westbrook and Lopez, second team distinction went to Love and Augustin, and Oden also received votes for All-Rookie team honors.

He is an American Grade 1 winner my friend.
Watch the head on @hrn-0fb7b94859270979acba00a01fdbf08e:disqus the grey was laying into horses the whole way around. He did it to dynamic sky the whole way down the backstretch. It just looks a little different because the winner won the battle haha. if you think that a bumping really changed the outcome of the race i would seriously question your judgement in the racing world.
@EP Taylor , we dont post any entries on the page. Also, the Woodford is certainly an option that is being considered for this horse.
Sullivan, i can guarantee that this horse has started back at SSF about a month ago or so. He has no issues currently and hopefully that is how it stays. He is not aiming at any particular start, but late spring is not out of the question.
EP he will likely run at Keeneland. Currently in work but no rush to make any particular start.
I just cant get it right. The 1 was 7-2 but still he was the 2nd choice. I would not have expected him to be at lower offs then the recent G1 winners in that contest.
correction, the 1 entry was 4-1 also.
He may have gone off at 4-1 but he was the no.1 choice at post time. The Ramsey's entry went off at 9-2 i believe.
So classy to close into a dead pace!
He is nominated to the Jamacia this weekend at Belmont.

The Champions League winners face the the Copa Libertadores holders in Japan with Rafa Benitez just one win away from winning his first trophy as interim boss at Stamford Bridge
Alessandro, Chicao, P Andre, F Santos
Paulinho, Ralf
Danilo, Douglas, Emerson
Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole
Mikel, Luiz
Mata, Oscar, Hazard
There are no new injury concerns for Rafa Benitez to contend with. The Spaniard is once again without long term absentees Daniel Sturridge (hamstring), John Terry (knee) and Oriol Romeu (cruciate ligament).
David Luiz could once again be given an a opportunity in midfield after impressing against Monterrey in a more advanced role.
Corinthians coach Tite is likely to stick with the 4-2-2-2 formation which served him well in the club's successful Copa Libertadores campaign.
Emerson will lead the line, with Paulinho and Ralf sitting in front of the defence, allowing Danilo and Douglas enough room to venture forward.
In defence, Tite should retain faith in the back four of Alessandro, Chicao, Paulo Andre and Fabio Santos as the Brazilian club aims to seal its second Club World Cup win after triumphing in the inaugral competition in 2000.
- Chelsea have won only four of their last 14 games, but have been victorious in each of their last three matches.
- This will be Rafa Benitez's third Club World Cup campaign, having lost to Sao Paulo with Liverpool in 2005 and triumphed with Inter over Mazembe in 2010. If Chelsea win the trophy, he will draw level with fellow Spaniard Pep Guardiola, who has two winners' medals earned with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.
- Fernando Torres (pictured right) has scored five goals in his last three games - he currently has 24 in 92 for the club.
- Torres attempted nine shots in Chelsea's Champions League match against FC Nordsjelland, the most he has ever attempted in a game for the Blues - he scored two goals.
- Corinthians are seeking to become the first side other than Barcelona to win the competition for a second time.
- Corinthians' Danilo and Fabio Santos already boast a Club World Cup winner's medal, having been part of the Sao Paulo squad that won the 2005 final against Liverpool.
- The Brazilian outfit beat Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores final in July, having won their national title in 2011.

The usual block-oriented timing analysis for logic circuits does not take into account functional relations between signals. If functional relations are taken into consideration, it could be found that a long path is never activated. This results in more accurate delays. A comparison is made of three arrival time functions, A, B, and R. A is the arrival time as given by exhaustive simulation; B
timing analysis; functional analysis; logic circuits; block-oriented algorithm; arrival time; logic circuits; logic design; logic testing.

Gennifer Flowers, the woman that Bill Clinton had an extramarital affair with, said she would accept Donald Trump's invitation to seat her in the front row of Monday's presidential debate against Hillary Clinton.
"Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!," read a tweet from what appears to be Flowers's account.
In a tweet earlier Saturday, Trump offered to bring Flowers to the debate, in response to the attendance of billionaire Hillary Clinton supporter Mark Cuban. Cuban said on Thursday that he accepted an invitation from Clinton to sit in the front row at Monday's presidential debate.
"If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Jennifer Flowers right alongside of him!" Trump initially tweeted before deleting the tweet and reposting it with the correct spelling of Flowers's first name.
Bill Clinton testified under oath in 1998 that he had a sexual affair with Flowers.
Flowers's assistant Judy Stell confirmed to BuzzFeed News that she would attend.
"Ms. Flowers has agreed to join Donald at the debate," she said.

The Eloi have reason to be afraid. In deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity: the sinister Morlocks.

"H. G. Wells's novel The Time Machine is the greatest of all works of pure science fiction." (National Review)
I got this because of Dick Hill. He has always been one of my favorite readers, but this book was not meant for him. The Traveler should have had an English accent, but instead he had one of Hill's usual voices. One reviewer said he had a Cockney accent, but I have heard Dick Hill enough to know that it was his his usual voice.
The story itself is a classic. It is a thought provoking story and seems to be a satire on easy living and on technological societies. If you don't like Hill, you should find another copy, audible has plenty.
"Fine story, odd narration"
"The Time Machine" is at times slow-moving, and the Time Traveller's constant examination of his own state of mind can be annoying, but as one of the important ancestors of all modern science fiction it's a story that any SF fan must read at least once.
I bought this version on impulse as it was the least expensive on Audible, but was not thrilled with the performance; the narrator gives the Time Traveller an odd accent and manner of hesitating intonation that are meant to be distinctive but that I found distracting. On the positive side, it's an energetic reading.
"time machine"
i read this book several times when i was young and mr hill brought it all back to life. mr hill has to be one of the best readers in your arsenal, he makes the book come alive with just the right quality of voice.
"For me it was a pleasant surprise."
When I bought this book on sale I had very low expectations for this book, I don't know why. . . but it could have been the remembrance from that bad movie. Anyway, the narration and the story came as a very good surprise, as both are to me very good.
The philosophical theories, the 19th century British atmosphere (my favourite), the unexpectedly deep characters (for this short a book), and many things more made me forget the whole world for 4 hours while I walked aimlessly about my town last evening.
I love this feeling that you get when you have low expectations for something but it turns out to be very good. . . it kind of makes the whole thing even better.
So. . . don't listen to me, hate the audio book with all your heart and then listen to it anyway.
You are then in for a pleasant surprise.
"wow ... just wow."
the audio is great, the reader's British cockney accent got on my nerves after a while, the story wasn't all too hard to keep up with. i had to replay a few times because i didn't catch the context.
i'm not a true fiction lover so a 3 is good for a piece of fiction for me.
can i just say - this story is WEIRD!? i am still mulling it over in my head. i keep trying to figure out what the Eloi really looked like. there is a lot of food for the imagination making this a satisfying piece of literature. my only qualm is sometimes it takes Wells, in my opinion, too much time to get to the point. there is a LOT of detail - but it's not always concise so it is easy to be like "uh huh, yes, uh huh, awesome. wait huh?!" (rewind!) and that can be frustrating.
it would be 4 stars if he would have 'come on with it' and focused on the plot line more.
the one thing i took away from the novel is an uncanny macro social analysis. Wells truly pegged the progression of society and fed it through the voice of the Time Traveler - basically to the point that it's applicable to today.
i would recommend this book with a caution on the tendency for the minor digressions on detail.
"Finally the True Story"
I've seen movie after movie and all of them have the Morlocks explaining everything to the time traveler or a supercomputer to give him the information in the movies. Here we have the truth were he has to figure it would for himself.
This book should serve as a warning for the 'elites' of this world. Where they want everything and they don't want to see the 'people' that make it all. So, they hide it away in China where no one looks or cares. Remember what you don't monitor becomes a life unto itself.
"Not so great"
I didn't like the narrator, I love the story, but too dated.
"Not that entertaining (to me)"
Now, I was not expecting non-stop action like one finds in many of today's often 'over the top' science fiction works, but I was expecting a charming and exciting read comparable with the likes of Jules Verne or Daniel Defoe..... and The Time Machine let me down.
It simply was not very exciting, left many issues unresolved and unexplained (and not in a good way), and seemed like it was just quickly thrown together as a story. It might be taboo to say such things about such a classic and popular author, but thats how I felt about the story itself.
If you are interested in the story, I did find this audio production and narration very well done. The reader did a great job.

Has anyone on this board ever done a family tree quilt?
I spent about two years talking myself into it, and now it's finished, except for the hanging sleeve.
Size is 23.5 x 33.5"
My grandparents are the roots, parents/aunts/uncles are the branches, self and cousins are the leaves.
I thought about doing one for the maternal side, but there aren't nearly as many cousins on that side.
Now that I've done the work, there are several things I would have done differently (or better), but this will do for now.
I'd love to see others, if anybody has made one.
