text: Nash trying not to see red over finals ejection - Vancouver Sun October 16, 200912:00AM PDT Previous Next By Yvonne Zacharias If Whitecaps captain Martin Nash had any ill feelings about being slapped with a red card in last Saturday's spellbinding game against the Montreal Impact, he was keeping them to himself in the hours and minutes leading up to Saturday's crucial second leg of the United Soccer Leagues Division-1 final in Montreal. The 33-year-old centre midfielder has reflected a bit on the controversial call which got him tossed out of the game and series. "It is something you have to leave in the past," Nash said in a phone interview from Montreal Thursday. "The team and myself have to move forward. There is another game to play and we have to worry about what we need to do Saturday." Still, the influential playmaker had to admit he was hurting a little over the prospect of sitting on the sidelines during the do-or-die game that will determine which of the two marquee teams emerge as the USL-1 champs. "I will be watching from the stands. It will be a little bit difficult to watch, but the guys are capable of getting the job done." The red-card call, issued in the second half after a late foul on Impact forward Roberto Brown, touched off a storm of controversy with fans booing Brown and the official. Vancouver head coach Teitur Thordarson has admitted it was a hard tackle but that the way Brown reacted, returning to the field a matter of seconds after being carried off on a stretcher, was just as questionable. With the Whitecaps losing 3-2 in the opening leg at home, Vancouver must win by two goals on Saturday to win the two-game aggregate series. A one-goal Vancouver win will force overtime, which will involve two 15-minute extra-time periods and then possibly a shootout. While Nash's absence will leave a gap on the field, it's not as though the team hasn't played without him in the past. He missed the several games of the regular season after pulling his hamstring in a game against the Rochester Rhinos on Aug. 29. The team's record without him was an encouraging 4-1-1. Even though his season is over, Nash said he is still trying to lead. "I am going out and working with the team, trying to push the guys and trying to get them prepared for Saturday's game." The Whitecaps will also be playing minus Lyle Martin and Gordon Chin, who have been laid up by injuries. But Nash, a great passer and greater leader, is confident that players like former Toronto FC defender Chris Pozniak and Kenold Versailles will be able to fill the void. He praised both players to the skies. But there is no way around it — it will be a tough fight for the Whitecaps, who have lost four straight games against the Impact after winning the first two games of the season series with Montreal. Nash said it is circumstances such as these that bring out the best in the Whitecaps. "Our greatest strength is our never-say-die attitude. We have almost played better when we've been down, so we're hoping that is the case on Saturday. If we play like we have been this year when we were down, I think that we can cause a lot of problems." Citing earlier wins in the season, Nash said the Whitecaps are capable of beating the Impact but "it's going to be tough. They are going to have a big crowd behind them." He expects Vancouver will have few fans there, too. And what's more, "the guys believe in themselves and we believe in each other. I think that's a big key." email@example.com The game, which starts at 11:30 a.m. PST, will be broadcast on Fox Sports World television, radio-canada.ca and TEAM 1040 radio. If the Whitecaps win, they will be the USL-1 division champions for the second year in a row. © Copyright (c) The Vancouver Sun Previous Next

This post is brought to you by American Crafts.
Instagram friends, let's talk about printing instagram pictures shall we? I'm using my iPhone to take pictures of my kids way more than my Nikon these days. If you're like me with over 2,000 pictures on your camera roll you don't want to leave those captured memories sitting on your phone. I've wanted to print instagram and iphone pictures for awhile now and I'm so glad I'm finally incorporating them into my Project Life spreads. Today I'm going to share a quick tutorial on how to print Instagram photos with an iPhone and with Photoshop Elements. Plus, I'm sharing details on the fabulous new Instagram-friendly Project Life kit available on HSN this Tuesday, September 17th.
On Tuesday HSN will be releasing a new exclusive Instagram Project Life bundle. You guys, this kit rocks my socks! The bundle includes an album, Just Add Color Core Kit, photo pocket pages, and stickers for one low price. The Just Add Color kit is available in limited qualities and is expected to sell out quickly. Why you might ask? Because it's not available anywhere else and features instagram friendly cards and pocket pages sized at 2×2 and 4×4. In addition to the new card sizes you'll also get the 4×6 inserts to use with this kit and existing albums you may be working on. There will also be a sale on the date and phrase stamps..these are my favorite!
Here's what you'll get in the Just Add Color edition:
-60 4×6 tittle cards
-20 4×6 journaling cards
-80 4×4 journaling cards
-400 2×2 filler cards
-80 basic cards
-20 sticker sheets
To print 3×4 photos for Project Life albums I've put together a quick tutorial on how to do this using Photoshop elements.
First open a new blank file (file -> new -> blank file). Size the file to a width of 6, height of 4, while making sure you've clicked inches. Set the resolution to 300 and make the background transparent. Then you'll open your photos, make any edits you'd like then drag them over to your blank file.
When dragging the picture down to resize you'll see the height and width changing size on the top. You can manually adjust the size or keep making is smaller until you find the size you like best. You can add 6 pictures this way by sizing them to 2×2 inches then printing on a 4×6 print. Here I'm using two pictures which can be 3×4's or smaller with a white border, which I prefer.
Once you've sized them to your liking click on "layer" then "flatten image." Save as a jpg and you're ready to print! Also, make sure you're only saving the "blank file" not the individual pictures in case you want them in their original form later on.
To print instagram photos from an iPhone download the PicFrame and Walgreens app. Open PicFrame and select the 3:2 ratio at the top right of the screen.
On the third page you'll find a 6 frame collage. Add your images then once you have adjusted the white border to your liking save and print the image with the Walgreens photo lab app.
I learned the the photo app trick from my friend Nat who has a 3×4 tutorial on her site. While browsing the frames I saw they have a 6 frame collage that's perfect for the new instagram kit.
This spread is a little out of my comfort zone with the mixed patterns and colors, but I think that's while I like it so much. I used resized photos in the entire layout. They range between 2×2 inches to 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches with borders. In this spread I've layered the cards and added stickers that will be included in the new kit.
This spread speaks my love language..simplicity! I really like how low key it is with vintage looking photos. These are photos I've shared on instagram then have sized in PicFrame with white borders. I kept this spread simple with the black and off-white theme. A few stickers and thickers are the only embellishments needed to complete the look I was going for. Oh and did I mentioned the black & white prints are on the BACK of the colorful prints? Genius, pure genius! I love that I can mix and match the colors with the exact same print on the back.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ice Climbing this year was different from most years. First, it was different from last year because we did not sleep on a set back ski resort lodge floor, but we slept on a clean floor of a hotel convention room. Yes - we had sleeping pads for both. Second, it was 45° day of. We woke up and ate breakfast excited for the day. Outside, it was not as happy. 35 degrees and rainy. We did not end up going to Frankenstein Cliff, like we usually do, but we went to a smaller place because it was so warm that there would be danger of large (refrigerator sized) icicles falling.
We put on the boots and cramp-ons that we had sized the night before, and started the trek to the waterfall. We arrived and started the climbing. About 1/2 an hour in, everybody's gloves were completely soaked along with their coats. About 3 hours in, everybody eating lunch and squeezing out the water of their gloves, and then putting on their backup pair. Everybody had a great time, despite the weather. Eventually, we all picked up our stuff and trekked back to our group's cars. In the end, this was a great outing.

I had a slippage problem on the last boar I mounted...I skinned, split eyes and ears as usual, then skipped the salt and went straight to the degreaser (white gas). I left the pig in the gas for approx. 3 days (covered), then put it in a 1.0 ph Safety Acid pickle for 3 days. Into the EZ-tan he went for 20 hours then was oiled for 4 hours and frozen. Upon mounting there was substantial slipping behind the ears (naturally) and even under the chin. The cape also had a slight pungent odor. As the hog was my own trophy (fortunately...or not), there was no question as to its proper field care. My question: Did I leave this dude in the gas too long? I skipped the salt stage under the advice of a well respected trade magazine which said salting could be skipped if the skin was going straight to pickle (I read this to mean degreaser/pickle on critters that need to be degreased). I have never had a swine or peccary slip like this before, so I thought my tanning procedure was adequate. Any help/advice/revisions would be appreciated!

First, DON"T skip the salt stage! I don't know what respected magazine would've suggested this, but they need to do a better job of editing their articles. The salt pulls a lot of the greaze and fluids out of the skin, and sets the hair and epidermis (very important on a boar unless you really like to paint) and stops the bacteria by getting the moisture content down. Petroleum solvents aren't preservatives, so your skin will pretty much just sit there and rot if left in gas for an extended period.
I realize that people have been using solvents for degreasing for years, and it's something I really wish they'd quit doing. It's not only dangerous and hasardous to your health, it's also hard on the environment since most just dump it out when it gets dirty. Use one of the de-greasers on the market that are made for tanning. Knobloch's and Rittels both have them. They're safe to work with, and do an excellant job. Jsut use them in accordance to the instructions.
This response submitted by Bruce Rittel on 10/13/99. ( email@example.com ) 18.104.22.168
Keith is absolutely right about salting - and since he manages Arlington Capes Tannery he is very much aware of its benefits! As to a magazine saying to skip it - even I question the wisdom of that statement. Usually to degrease - you double salt, dry the skin, rehgydrate it, then pickle for 3 days, pull out the skins, drain for 30 minutes, shave, DEGREASE (in your favorite degreaser), Wash, rinse well, throw back in to the pickle for overnight or longer, until you are ready to neutralize and tan! DONT degrease and skip salting!
This response submitted by Bob Mead on 10/14/99. ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) 126.96.36.199
Keith and Bruce...thanks for the input and advice...I'll try it on my next greasy project!

Worms could dodge Net traps
In a pair of papers presented at the Usenix Security Symposium here Thursday, computer scientists said would-be attackers can locate such sensors, which act as trip wires that detect unusual activity. That would permit nefarious activities to take place without detection.
Internet sensor networks, such as the University of Michigan's Internet Motion Sensor and the SANS Internet Storm Center, are groups of machines that monitor traffic across active networks and chunks of unused IP space. The sensor networks generate and publish statistical reports that permit an analyst to track the traffic, sniff out malicious activity and seek ways to combat it.
Just as surveillance cameras are sometimes hidden, the locations of the Internet sensors are kept secret. "If the set of sensors is known, a malicious attacker could avoid the sensors entirely or could overwhelm the sensors with errant data," a team of computer scientists from the University of Wisconsin wrote in its award-winning paper titled "Mapping Internet Sensors with Probe Response Attacks."
But the Wisconsin researchers discovered that the sensor maps furnish just enough information for someone to create an algorithm that can map the location of the sensors "even with reasonable constraint on bandwidth and resources," John Bethencourt, one of the paper's authors, said in his presentation.

ELYRIA — Within 30 minutes Thursday, police arrested two adults and one juvenile on theft charges in connection with an alleged theft of clothing from the Victoria Secret store inside Midway Mall.
At 6:37 p.m. Thursday, Elyria police arrested Aaron M. Jones, 20, and Kenyatta M. Grove, 18, both of Cleveland, in or near the Bed Bath & Beyond store at 4417 Midway Mall Blvd., across from the mall.
Police said the suspects fled toward the store after a Victoria Secret employee informed a mall security officer of suspicious activity inside the store about 6:30 p.m.
When the security officer found the man and woman, later identified as Jones and Grove, they threw a bag of clothing to the floor and ran from the store.
Grove was stopped shortly after by an Ohio Highway Patrol trooper in the parking lot of Bed Bath & Beyond. Jones was found by police inside the store and arrested.
Merchandise taken from Victoria Secret was valued at $270, police said.
At about 7 p.m., the mall security officer who located Jones and Grove told police a third suspect who helped the other two suspects select, conceal and remove the Victoria Secret clothing had been caught near the Best Buy store entrance.
Police arrested the 17-year-old male, also from Cleveland, on a charge of theft.
He was taken to the Lorain County Juvenile Detention Home, according to police.

WOOO! I love this fic!!
Please post the next chapter soon, please please please pleeeeeeeeease!!
UGHHHH!!! I want more!! :)
it is really good you have to continue
I know it been a long time since you updated it but are you going to??? It's an amazing story and I love it!!!!!!
You really need to update this soon! Its so weird, and kind of scary reading a story where Harry has screwed things up so royally. I need to see him fix it, and asap.
You really need to update this soon! Its so weird, and kind of scary reading a story where Harry has screwed things up so royally. I need to see him fix it, and asap.
listen u need to update asap!!
its gr8 worth coming back 4
Author's Response: Thanks!
i love this story! its really the only one on this site that i read...
i kinda think ron and hermione will somehow get back in time 2 help harry
great story!
Author's Response: Thanks for R/Ring...more on the way!
I'm so glad you've updated this fic, I love it! I thought Harry was going to act as though he didn't care about Lily's pregnancy and then James could swoop in, show what a great guy he is and they'd live happily ever after. I was just thinking that if Harry fixes Lily and James relationship and destroys Voldemort, will he still exist? I mean even if he does get Lily and James together, there's no reason why they'd have a baby Harry is there? Although, if he does destroy Voldemort and is on good terms with the both of them afterwards perhaps they'll name their son after him, ensuring that he'll be born. Oh how my head hurts. I just adore time travel fics. Keep it coming.
Author's Response: lol...I will! Thanks for reading!
Oh, that was a long wait. But worth it!
Wonderful :)
Author's Response: I'm glad you thought so. I will try not to make future waits as long. Thanks for R/Ring!
Yay! An update! Anyways, Harry sure has made a mess of things. Hopefully he can figure out a way to salvage it... The baby presents a huge problem. Hopefully they can work out something that wont stir up a firestorm among the readers of this story. Correct me if I'm wrong but is this misunderstanding that prevented this chapter from being validated had something to do with the baby?
Author's Response: Exactly...there was an issue with my moderator about incest involved in the story. I thus have to be careful with what I write in future chapters, and I may have to alter some things in the future, but it won't affect the eventual outcome. Thanks for reading!
wow, harry is kinda fixing his huge mess, but not very well. i'm not sure if he can fix this without ron and hermione
Author's Response: We will see...or rather, you will, and I will know and laugh at you naive readers...just kidding; thanks for R/Ring!
i love this story! it is the first story ive read on this site! anyway i hope it all works out.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Get moving on getting the next chapter up! This story and your previous one has left me in so much suspense I nearly fell off my chair! Okay, so I DID fall off my chair, but that's beside the point! I will absolutely DIE if I don't find out what happens next!
Author's Response: I am so sorry for the wait...but I'm working on it!
I know there wouldn't be a story in it, but it'd be so much easier if he just went back at the original point of arrival, modified everyones memories and left it at that. There are so many things that can go wrong now, I'm so terrified he'll mess it up, especially on his own. Sorry if I sound a bit too much like Hermione. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story though, especially the checking in with Ron and Hermione, seeing the differences Harry makes each time he alters something. I guess it'd be boring if everything went back to being exactly as it had been, so I'm looking forward to seeing what future Harry decides to settle with. Also, is there only one Harry? What I mean is, with a time turner there's a possibility of running into yourself in the past, but is this true of the leather album? Or will Harry just do what he means to, return to 1997 and carry on his life from his 17th birthday? Sorry, i just get confused, i'm a lot dense. It'd be great if he defeated Voldemort in the past, then he might have a future with everyone he loves, even Ginny? It would've been so much easier if he'd decided to finish Voldemort in the past from the beginning. Hey, that could be Hermione'slast statement at the end of the fic, then there could be a deafening silence as the realisation sinks in and Ron can say, "Lets just pretend thats not true." Sorry, I know it's your fic, but as the rest of it isn't available yet I'll have to make it up on my own, hint hint.
Author's Response: Okay, a few clarification points...rn1. I thought about Harry going back to the original point of arrival, but I think (and not just for the sake of a plot) that Harry would feel obligated to live up to his mistakes and suffer the consequences he created for himself instead of taking the easy road out.rn2. There is only one Harry. As you'll recall, in an earlier chapter, we learned that Harry disappeared the night he was supposed to be conceived. That is both because of the given reason, that he can't exist if he wasn't conceived, and also because he can't exist in two separate time frames at the same time. Thus, he is working against an even smaller time: regardless of the time zone he is in, because of the extensive time he spent in the past, when his body reaches the age he would have been on October 31, 1980 in the past, he's gone. (Wow, that was confusing!)rn3. There can only be one leather album in existence at a time. That contributes to Harry's sole existence as well.rnWow, after all that, I'm hoping to start writing again soon! (See my bio for an update)
This first chapter is really good. It is kinda boring compared to other stories I've read. I mean, don't get me wrong, your a good author and all, but your stories are a little too . . .slow, for me. I hope that you can get better at this. Sorry.
Sincerely, Astronomygirl.
Author's Response: Okay, that's your opinion, thanks for reading!
Can you please add another chapther, it must have been ages since you last updated, please...what are you waiting for? If real life is calling then you should end it first before doing anything else...you do have a plot, don't you?
Author's Response: I'll try to sum this up once again, but you can see my bio for more...my regular computer with at least 10 chapters written on it has crashed, and I can't afford to have it fixed right now. It's killing me to leave you all hanging like this, but I don't want to rewrite all those chapters again. Besides, I have two little sisters that love to snoop, and they've deleted stuff of mine on this laptop I'm using right now of my dad's. So I need to wait. In the meantime...uh...I guess find some other stuff to read!
Gah! I'm in love! Again! PLeeeease update...
Author's Response: I'm soooooorry...my computer is completely rebelling against me! I'm waiting to raise enough money to get it looked at, because my parents refuse to pay for it, so we'll see. Sorry again!

Every year, students who have shown outstanding
achievement in the area of their study are selected as recipients of the
Educational Technology Graduate Award. For the first time, there are two winners
selected by the Educational Technology faculty and their peers.
The 2011 Educational Technology Graduate Award goes to Lisa Costello
and Kavita Mehta. Their hard work and dedication are an inspiration for all Educational
Technology students and faculty.
Lisa Costello was born in Tempe, Arizona, and
has lived there most of her life. She is
a single mom to Anthony, who is stationed with the Army overseas, and her
daughter, Theresa, who lives here in Arizona.
Lisa received her BAE in Elementary Education from Arizona
State University, and her MEd in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona
University. According to Lisa,
completing her MEd in Educational Technology has provided her with a sense of
self-satisfaction and pride.
Lisa has worked for the past sixteen years in the Roosevelt
School District 66 in Phoenix, Arizona, where she is an ELL 4th grade
instructor. She has worked many different positions during these years, but
there are two that she has cherished most: mentoring new teachers in her
district, and working as a faculty adviser for Teach for America.
Lisa's final capstone project was an interactive,
collaborative, online wiki course designed for younger elementary school
children. The topic dealt with cyber safety
and digital citizenship, and was intended as an uncomplicated and trouble-free
course for teachers to put together and implement.
This engaging unit was supported by constructivist and
networked learning strategies, and also housed a community resource section
with further sources for parents and staff.
Contact Lisa at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Born and brought up in New Delhi, India, Kavita
started her master's in educational technology one and a half years ago. She obtained
her bachelor's and master's degrees with top honors from Delhi University. She
has been working in the technology department at an international school for the
last twelve years in New Delhi.
Coming from a totally different cultural, financial, and
educational background, Kavita is proud that she created an
"impossible" goal and believed in it to make it a reality. According
to Kavita, she learned and discovered a great deal about herself and technology
through this journey.
"I met new people from different cultures," says Kavita. "It's
been a great experience of learning and sharing. It was a wonderful positive
online learning environment. I felt valued by my instructors, peers, and group
mates in the same way that I would value my own efforts. I feel that my entire program of study has
prepared me in multiple ways to achieve my goals. I am really grateful to this
program for not only enhancing my love and desire of education, but also for
opening my eyes to many new technological aspects and skills, and helping me
grow to continue my journey as a lifelong learner."
Kavita feels strongly about her capstone project,
"Professional Development of Instructional Assistants." She offers individual
training and leads workshops after school or during in-service days to instructional
assistants (IAs).
Her goal is to make them aware of technology tools and the
advantages of teaching and learning with them. She uses presentations, FTF,
hands-on training, videos, and resources like Moodle to bring IAs up to par
with the community and help them feel comfortable utilizing these tools

Seriously? Eating imaginary cupcakes with imaginary calories you never have to worry about becoming fat.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
Someone in Tehran must have read Amir Oren's column in Haaretz yesterday on the growing confluence of interests between Israel and Saudi Arabia, as well as their joint front against Iran. Either that or the Iranian regime is feeling more isolated than ever, despite getting a five-week "freebie."
On Monday morning, the Fars News Agency published several anti-Saudi stories. One revealed that the Saudis training and arming Somali refugees, then sending them off to kill Shi'ites in Northern Yemen. There is no way to verify any of the details in the story, but the last paragraph of the story certainly rings true -
Since Saudi Arabia shares long joint borders with Yemen, it has interfered in the country's internal affairs and still continues meddling. The revolution of the Yemeni people has worried Saudi Arabia because Riyadh is worried that the flames of the revolution may spread to Saudi Arabia too.
Whether or not there is any truth to the report, it is interesting that official Iranian sources never seem to mention the fact that the original inspirations for the Arab revolutionaries - in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen - were the brave Iranians who took to the streets in the 2009 Green Revolution.
But the more outlandish report is the one accusing Saudi Arabia and its Arab neighbors of standing aside while Israel occupies land. That may sound like a story you have heard a thousand times, but the report is not referring to the West Bank or Gaza, rather to the islands of Tiran and Sanafir, in the strategic Straits of Tiran. It is true that Israel occupied the Saudi-owned islands, (administered by Egypt) in the 1967 Six Day War but they were evacuated thirty years ago as part of the Camp David Accords. The only foreign presence on the islands now is that of the multi-national force which oversees the peace treaty.
Maybe there is a secret Israeli base on the Tiran islands, with Egypt and Saudi Arabia both turning a blind eye. But it is more likely that Iran realizes that while the world-powers are trying to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the nuclear impasse, some of its Arab neighbors are eager for the talks to fail and for the U.S (or Israel) to attack. That is why they are clutching at conspiracy theories, trying to direct the anger of the "Arab street" at their governments, and they may yet be successful.

Acquire the Necessary Global Business Skills to Survive in the 21st Century
In the workplace, every single action you take is vulnerable to tireless scrutiny and analysis. As companies become increasingly eager to enter the globalization scene, the danger of one little misstep is even more evident now than ever before; people often engage in cross-cultural business without having a full understanding of the culture they are dealing with, resulting in the forging of a relationship based on miscommunication and the potential to lead to unfavorable situations.
President of her own consulting firm specializing in ensuring that global organizations effectively utilize internationally-oriented talent, Paula Caligiuri recognizes that immersing oneself in a culture different from one's own can be an intimidating challenge. It involves more than just learning the language of the culture; it also involves learning such intricacies as cultural customs, traditions, morals, and habits. This issue is precisely why she wrote Cultural Agility: Building a Pipeline of Successful Global Professionals (Jossey-Bass; 978-1-118-27507-8; August 2012; $36.95) – in order to help professionals obtain cultural agility: the ability to quickly, comfortably, and successfully work in cross-cultural environments.
In a handy step-by-step format, Caligiuri effectively provides guidance on how to best implement particular talent management practices to form a powerful and knowledgeable culturally-competent team of professionals. She delves into great detail about a range of topics, including:

Bart Houston was surprised to hear Wednesday night that rumors were floating around Internet message boards that Oregon State had offered.
That was news to him. Because the Concord (Calif.) De La Salle pro-style quarterback said while he has talked with Oregon State's coaches he has not been offered yet.
Houston, a 6-foot-3, 186-pound prospect, said he's planning to visit Corvallis probably over spring break to throw for the coaches. An offer could happen then or sometime later but Houston is adamant he knows nothing about an offer yet.
Article Continues Below
"I'm going to take a trip up there and that's basically the same with every other college out there," Houston said. "Quarterback is a different thing because they want to get a first-hand look at me and then they'll take me in and make a decision right there or later.
"They've said come up and throw for us. My coaches tell me that people e-mail them like (Wednesday) my coach said Tennessee, Auburn and Pitt have contacted them. I was surprised."
After leading his team to an undefeated season and putting up big-time numbers, Houston still has not gotten any offers but he has a busy schedule coming up so that could definitely change.
He's taking an unofficial visit to Duke this weekend. Trips to Oregon State, Texas Tech, Wisconsin and Washington are also being strongly considered. More visits could happen as well moving forward.
The trip to Duke will be the first unofficial visit for Houston, who threw for 1,922 yards with 20 touchdowns and four interceptions in his junior year. He also rushed for 11 scores. He's included in the Rivals 250 to watch list. Whether he throws or not this weekend is still unknown.
"I have no clue what's going to happen," Houston said. "It's my first unofficial trip. I'm going to bring a ball but I don't know."
While it's still early, since Houston doesn't have any offers yet these spring trips could be crucial in his recruitment. At the very least, it's going to allow Houston to show off his game and get more noticed by college coaches.
"It's really exciting," Houston said.

LiPo pack balancing poll
There have been multiple reports of Lithium Polymer cells eventually varying in voltage when connected in series (i.e., in packs). This imbalance results in ruination of the relatively high-voltage cell(s) and, sometimes, a fire, during charging.
Do you think pack manufacturers should build means to check individual cell voltages into their packs?
Sal C has shown one way to do it, without increasing the pack dimensions: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...hreadid=120946
With out a doubt they should be built in such a way that you have access to each cell to check for imbalance these cells are far to volitile to just seal them up and call it good. Sal C had a very good idea with his setup and it would be very easy for pack makers to add this safty feature.
Good question Stuka. The answer in my case is not to buy dealer made packs.
The extra wires might be fine for experienced users, but how do you get people to actually use them? I've seen knowledgable users post reports about swelling up packs of lipos because they didn't push the correct buttons on their charger.
What about the novice lipo user who buys a pack from Tower along with a Triton charger. There are lots of instructions to read about charging lipos. Do you think they're going to understand what they're doing when being new to this technology? If there were extra wires on the pack, would they read the instructions and check the pack and know why they were checking it? Some of them may not even own a Dvm, as has been seen in some posts.
There have been threads on Ezone with titles like..."I've bought some lipos, what do I do with them now." Are the extra wires going to help this person. Some vendors are still selling bare cells with a pc board soldered to them with no instructions for how to wire the cells for use, and no safety or charging instructions. There have also been several recent threads saying that the 2s packs they've received are less than 6 volts when New, and that includes both popular brands of cells. Why is That happening? It shouldn't! Are the cells defective in some way when assembled? With the extensive testing we've heard they go through, they should not be below 6 volts when new. Why are they?
It's time to face reality gentlemen. The ONLY way lipos are going to be safe for all RC users is if they are put into consumer packages just like the cell phone and camcorder packs we see in use now, inside a plastic container with protection circuits in place. Those packs are in much wider use than RC packs, but you seldom hear of one of those packs exploding or causing a fire. Let's face it, there are people out there using lipos who should not be using them in their present form.
I'm charging my lithium camcorder batteries as I type, with no worry whatsoever. I'm planning to use the camcorder to record a video of a lipo being overcharged to show the results. I'm really surprised that none of the vendors have bothered to tape a video of a lipo exploding from an overcharge. I guess they're more interested in profits than safety.
I agree with DNA's assessment, with the exception of the last line. I believe there was an honest under-estimation of the dangers of using Li-poly cells for R/C use without the inclusion of safety circuits. We know that the manufacturer and distributor representatives of all the major brands of Li-poly cells used in R/C have posted messages here about making safety circuit boards available. Strong consideration should be given to making these safety circuit boards mandatory on all R/C packs. Simply adding additional wires to check voltage will not help the least knowledgeable Li-poly users who need the most help.
50 different charger 8 to 10 different companys selling batterys
with different chimestry ( max and min carge levels) Level of elec
experance is very low You can tell by how many fires , Puffed cells
There has being enough data for chargeing and dichargeing to sink a battleship. But like the Ion's i ran them and got super results but one friend said he charged them to 4.4volts and the third time he kill them only Real lucky Almost no way to inpress
on people of the results of what they do. Even the LapTops with
all there saftey stuff Human nature won't let one perdon do it ok
then the X one not acepting the facts as they are or any reanionning So they have to add 3oz's for saftey. and charge $30
more for the pack. CU
Dave Hederich's assessment is very good.
Regarding its last sentence: I would add that I am honestly afraid that LiPos could disappear from the modeling scene, if the safety issue is not addressed by charger and battery manufactures by means of built-in safety hardware.
When you look at the extensive LiPo marketing to modelers, it is not exclusively a market for experts. It is a consumer market, and will eventually be held to the product safety standards now applied to other consumer products in the US.
Speaking for myself, I will say here that I understood the risks and accepted personal responsibility for the consequences when I began three years ago to experiment with charging CR2 primary lithium cells. I maintained that attitude throughout my experimentation with rechargeable Tadiran lithium metal cells, surplus Li-ion cells and surplus Li-poly cells. In retrospect, I didn't take adequate safety precautions with all of my experiments. I was fortunate that I experienced no catastrophic failures. But if I had, it would have been 100 percent my fault.
Even though the current Li-poly cells being sold for R/C use are more mainstream, I still consider them to be experimental. With each new Li-poly incident reported here, I've reviewed and tightened up my safety precautions regarding all cells. I try to evaluate the rewards and risks of everything I do in life, and do what I believe is right for me.
Personally, I find cell experimentation to be interesting and rewarding, and would continue to do it even if all R/C lithium cells were removed from the market. I am concerned when I see people attracted to the performance of lithium cells without fully comprehending the risks. But this is true for many things in life beyond lithium cells.
Life is risky. That's part of what makes life interesting. I do not want all risk removed from my life because evaluating risk and overcoming it is one of life's great rewards. I'll adapt to whatever comes out of this, and continue to do what's best for me regardless of what someone else may think is best for everyone. There is no one thing that's best for everyone because everyone's different.
"I've seen knowledgable users post reports about swelling up packs of lipos because they didn't push the correct buttons on their charger. "
Hey, I represent that remark
"It is a consumer market, and will eventually be held to the product safety standards now applied to other consumer products in the US."
Someday, only Outlaws will use LiPo's
Seriously, I agree 100%. I'm a tinkerer. If someone says it won't work, and can't explain to my satisfaction, why, then I'll try it myself, and succeed or fail, but at least I'll know why.
I enjoy the 'silk purse from a sow's ear' we get when we find a cheap surplus item like the Johnson 250 motors or the Qualcom LiIons. Heck, they've come and gone here over a couple years, and they still work good today! There have been other, not-so-good items we've tried, and there will be more.
When something catches fire when you know you are abusing it, it's one thing, but when it happens in your parked car while you think it is safe, it's another! I haven't heard the deffinate answer on what caused these fires, but it has my attention.
Personally, I think there is more danger of ruining a pack by building it rather than buying an already built one.
The cells with these alu tabs are a pain in...and a not so good solder joint will result in bad or poor contact, threatening the imbalance of cells.
I know what I am talking about, as it happened twice, despite alu solder-it paste,....
So I really think built packs are better for the user, even if we can't have access to each cell individually, which I regret.
"So I really think built packs are better for the user, even if we can't have access to each cell individually, which I regret."
Luc, I can't see any reason why a manufacturer wouldn't be able to build us a pack like Sal C's, can you?

PATTY Mills' stand-out performance in the NBA Finals series has not only earned him a championship ring, it's also set to add millions to his next contract.
The US media has heavily scrutinised Mills' free agency and linked him with moves to the Lakers, Wizards and even the vanquished Miami Heat.
Chuck Schilken, writing in the Los Angeles Times, said the fast-improving Australian sharp-shooter was primed for a huge pay upgrade during the off-season.
"Patty Mills couldn't have picked a better time to go absolutely nuts (in a good way) for the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals," Schilken wrote.
"Not only did his 14 points in seven minutes during the third quarter Sunday night help the Spurs seal the series victory over the Miami Heat, they also created a lasting impression of the fifth-year reserve guard as he heads into free agency this summer."
Schilken noted that Mills had only a modest impact during the Western Conference finals series against Oklahoma City, but his outstanding form against the Heat over the past week had convinced rival franchises of his value in a thin free agent market for point guards.
"In the post-season, he saved the most spectacular for last, going five-for-five from the field, including four-for-four from three-point range, during his third-quarter outburst Sunday night," Schilken wrote.
"Chances are, that's the Patty Mills suitors are going to remember this off-season."
Dan McCarney, writing for the San Antonio Express-News, said the Spurs would not give up their popular back-up point guard without a fight this off-season.
"The spark plug, once described as 'a little fat ass' by coach Gregg Popovich before his off-season makeover, played an integral role," McCarney wrote.
"The outburst (in Game 5) completed a huge season for Mills, in which he not only transformed his body but his career trajectory from mascot to legitimate difference-maker.
"'He just caught fire,' teammate Tony Parker said. 'When you want to win a championship, your role players have to play well. Patty came in and made some big shots for us in the third quarter'."
McCarney said Mills had comfortably outperformed Miami's top two guards - Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole - from the bench, setting the stage for a rise in remuneration and responsibility next season.
"Mills, 25, is due for a significant pay raise this summer from his $1.3 million as an unrestricted free agent," McCarney wrote.
"Given his quantum leap this season, it would be difficult to imagine the Spurs won't do everything they can to bring back a player who fits their culture so well."
Evan Massey, writing for Sports Illustrated's HoopsHabit website, suggested Mills could find himself suiting up with the Spurs, the Heat or the Indiana Pacers next season.
On the Heat: "It's certainly not the most likely landing spot for him with the Spurs' dislike for the Heat, but they are the third team out there that could certainly use a point guard with the skills that Mills brings to the table. He would fit in with the up-tempo system that Spoelstra likes to run, and he would immediately be their starting point guard which would definitely be another draw."
On the Pacers: "Mills could probably walk in and carve out major minutes in their rotation. He would be an instant upgrade scoring the basketball, and has shown in San Antonio that he is a great playmaker as well. Those were the two major weaknesses for the Pacers last season."
On the Spurs: "Don't expect them to watch Mills leave town without putting up a fight. Not only do the Spurs want him back, he has made it clear that he wants to return next season on a new deal."
James Herbert, writing for CBS, noted the incredible strides Mills made over the course of this season.
"The feisty Patty Mills has been arguably the best back-up point guard in the NBA all season, and he's time and time again shown the ability to change games with his shooting," Herbert wrote. "He was an enormous part of San Antonio's comeback."
Dan Devine, writing for Yahoo Sports, said Mills made as big an impact defensively as he did with his 10.2 points per game - the fifth best among all Spurs players - during the NBA finals.
"(He was) hectoring opposing ball-handlers and making life miserable on Ray Allen, working overtime to deny the all-time long-distance great clean catches and shuffling his feet to beat Allen to the spot, drawing charges and disrupting offensive sets," Devine wrote.
"He fed off all the space the Spurs' other offensive threats created, and provided the kind of boost on the other end that energized his teammates, too."
As impressive as his on-court deeds have been this season, Devine believes Mills' efforts in raising awareness of indigenous issues in Australia make him a truly remarkable figure.
"Representing not only yourself, not only your club and your country, but also multiple cultures about which many fans may know nothing might be too heavy a burden to bear for some athletes," Devine wrote.
"Mills, however, carries his weight like a gift, pairing his productivity with constant energy and effervescence, and leaving plenty of room to celebrate the goofier elements of his personality ... like, for example, the kind that not only invents frogging, but brings it back as the pose of choice in celebrating the pinnacle of his pro basketball career.
"Shine on, Patty Thrills. May this summer make you Patty Even More Millions."
Finally, you know you've made it as a bona fide US sports star when you're wife is getting media coverage.
Here's what Kyle Cape-Lindelin of Basketball Insidershad to say.
"Spurs guard Patty Mills is living the life down there in Texas with his beautiful wife," Cape-Lindelin wrote. "In typical Spurs fashion, Patty includes #battingabovemyaverage in the post, which has to buy him some solid husband points."

In a press conference Nov. 19, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the city of Chicago will file a 'Notice of Intent' to sue U.S. Steel...
Company's discoveries and improvements have been awarded numerous U.S. patents
When Atlantic Ultraviolet Corp. was founded in 1963, the use of ultraviolet (UV) light fixtures and equipment to eradicate bacteria, mold and viruses in water and air was in its infancy. This enabled the company to be at the forefront of developing more efficient ways to utilize this technology. One such discovery, which is still available today, was the 1970s design of the Sanitron UV water purifier.
The Sanitron provided a rapid method of water disinfection without the use of heat or chemicals. Although Hilary Boehme, Atlantic Ultraviolet's president, was granted a U.S. patent for Sanitron's "wiper mechanism" innovation in the 1980s, it has been a part of the Sanitron since it was first manufactured. This feature was developed in order to comply with requirements of U.S. Public Health Guidelines.
Sanitron, like other water purifiers, is a closed-vessel type that has an inlet and outlet that enable water to enter the chamber, be exposed to the germicidal UV radiation of the lamp and then exit bacteria free. The patented wiper mechanism device enables the user to clean the quartz sleeve, which houses the germicidal UV lamp, inside the water purifier chamber, without shutdown of water supply, resulting in the maximum potential for UV radiation through the quartz sleeve.
Another U.S. patent awarded to the company in the early 1990s was for the invention of an "easy-off seal assembly." Until that time, routine maintenance on water purifiers could be tedious and required tools. The easy-off seal assembly provided an effective seal while simultaneously permitting a technician to immediately open the seal effortlessly, without the use of any tools.
Today, Atlantic Ultraviolet's extensive line of water and air purification brands includes MiniPure, MightyPure, Sanitron, Megatron, BioLogic, Sanitaire, AeroLogic and Sanidyne. Throughout the years, the company has contributed numerous innovations to the field that have resulted in more than 10 registrations with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
As it looks ahead to celebrating its 50th anniversary later this year, Atlantic Ultraviolet continues to develop effective and cost-conscious UV solutions that have made it a recognizable brand within commercial, industrial, residential and recreational settings. New products are subjected to rigorous test protocols in order to ensure the highest standards of performance, reliability, usefulness and value.

For awhile now I have been searching for a mate for my T&T Vector 904-3. I started with the Ross Evo lt.. Then I switched to the Nautilus FWX.. Basically I have had a mental love affair with every damn reel from the Hardy Princess to the Martin Mohawk River.. To make a long story short I cant get the DD4000 out of my head. I know from reading numerous reviews that it seems to be a sound piece of gear. The looks are damn sexy, and the weight is right around where I want to be. To make matters worse I met a guy who owns a fly shop in Wyoming who offered to help me out and sell me the reel with ANY line of my choice for $200. I am getting married in October, so saying that our finances are tied up is an understatement. I have come so close to pulling the trigger on so many occasions that I cannot even count. (I am one of those impulsive fly fishermen.. Go figure :eek:)
The only concern that I keep coming back to is the whole made in Korea thing. Don't get me wrong, I am completely confident in their ability as machinists. Hell I drive a Toyota. Funny thing is that I am actually talking myself closer to making the purchase as I am typing this.
Where do we draw the line? I would love to support our economy. I would love to feel like I am supporting that "River runs through it" American past-time. The problem is that I can not seem to make any deal seem sweeter than the one I am currently reviewing. I love the Galvan Torque.. Not $330 love. :(
Same with Abel and many of the other FINE US manufacturers.
I am extremely curious to hear what you guys think about this kind of stuff.
Thanks for letting me rant.

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell released the following statement today regarding the three-year anniversary of Obamacare:
"Three years after Senate Democrats passed Obamacare on a party-line vote, the terrible consequences that Republicans warned about are coming true. Obamacare costs too much and it's not working the way they promised. It's already costing jobs, health insurance premiums are skyrocketing, government spending on health care is expected to increase dramatically, and millions of Americans are expected to lose the employer-sponsored health insurance they currently enjoy. Implementation has also become a bureaucratic nightmare, with some 159 new government agencies, boards, and programs busily enforcing the roughly 20,000 pages of rules and regulations already associated with this law. The longer Obamacare sits on the books the stronger the argument against it becomes, and the more determined Republicans are to repeal this colossal legislative mistake and start over with commonsense reforms that lower costs."
Background: Last night, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to repeal the medical device taxes in Obamacare. Previously, Congress passed and the President signed legislation repealing the 1099 small business requirement and the CLASS Act.

Unusual Meats
Jessie Alice Cline (1891-1996) and Rosalie S. Godfrey (1895-1966)
Unusual meats
Circular 162
University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1927
University Archives, Collection C:5/11/2
Cline and Godfrey collaborated on this circular to provide information on the use of various internal organ meats. The circular places emphasis on special methods of preparation since most of these meats spoil faster than commonly used muscular tissues. The circular also provides a variety of recipes for the brain, tongue, kidney, heart, liver, thymus glands and the feet of cattle, hogs and sheep. Godfrey held a research position with the University of Missouri at the time of this publication but left for the University of Texas shortly after, where she was Associate Professor Emeritus of Home Economics at the time of her death.

Then bringing it up sooner than later is really good, so if there's negative fallout you can deal with it long before you move there.
Have you considered dating elsewhere, now?
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
By elsewhere, do you mean in my current town? If so, I'm sorry to say that I've pretty much exhausted all possibilities here. My current city is quite small and I haven't really met anyone that I was attracted to enough to consider dating. Anyone that I might possibly be interested in are currently in mono relationships, so they're all out of the picture
Although the thought did cross my mind that it might be nice to try a relationship before moving down there. I don't want to risk creating unnecessary tension between Jay and I, or losing my friendship with our friend. I imagine the first poly relationship that one enters can bring up some rough patches that need to get ironed out.
Yes, I do mean locally. Have you tried www.Okcupid.com? Perhaps there are people at least within an hour or less of you that you could chat with, if not meet. Even just chatting with people who identify as poly or in open relationships who are looking for friends can help broaden your understanding of all the possibilities, and you never know what can grow from that. Not just romantic possibilities, but networking for a broader network of friends who either are poly, or understand it.
I certainly don't advocate experimenting with people just for the sake of it though. I have seen people new to poly posting along a wide spectrum, but there are two extremes for where you are at - coupled people having no experience with poly and then lucking into a good and positive experience with a first relationship with somebody they already had romantic feelings for, and negative horrible experiences with first experiences backfiring and causing drama all around when the initial love interest is somebody that was already a known factor.
If you and Jay both attempt even going for coffee with a person or two, even if nothing comes with it, it can give you a chance to process things as they come up, and really have a chance to digest how you are feeling. Now maybe you two are much more gung ho and can dive into something where a serious relationship can occur with your first foray into dating. I don't know your comfort levels, but just wanted to throw some more ideas out there.
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Hmm, I've considered this before. I did create an account on Plenty of Fish a while ago, but then deleted it because I felt weird "shopping" for friends or partners without Jay knowing. I just didn't have a good feeling about it. I think it might be different if we were to actually talk about it and try it though.
I have been wanting to meet more people who are interested in polyamory. This would be a great way to accomplish that.
Thanks again for your advice. I kept flopping back and forth about this and it helped a ton. It has put this whole situation into such good perspective to be able to talk about it with someone who actually understands what polyamory is.

This request handler returns all fields and their type. In Ruby format (&wt=ruby) the results, for the example index, look like this currently:
A client wanting to introspect Solr could combine the actual fields and their types with parsing of schema.xml to glean a lot and dynamically configure based on what is inside an index. Should more information per field be returned, or is simply the type name sufficient? What else is desirable for this request handler?

This bug was modified as part of a bulk update using the criteria...
- Marked ("Resolved" or "Closed") and "Fixed"
- Had no "Fix Version" versions
- Was listed in the CHANGES.txt for 1.2
The Fix Version for all 39 issues found was set to 1.2, email notification
was suppressed to prevent excessive email.
For a list of all the issues modified, search jira comments for this
(hopefully) unique string: 20080415hossman2
I've committed IndexInfoRequestHandler based on the feedback here. The field information is now returned as a map, with type being the only value currently. I also added in an "index" keyed map which contains numDocs, maxDoc, and Lucene index version. I wasn't sure how the "age" value should be computed, so I commented that out for now.
I'm closing this issue, and tweaks to this handler can be discussed in solr-dev now.
Thanks for the feedback.
Facets are slightly different than docfreq's... one is expensive, and one is very cheap since it's pre-calculated by lucene.
The disad to the lucene version is that the docfreq doesn't take deleted docs into account.
If you want to page through or download all terms of a full-text field, the faceting code would take forever in comparison.
other ideas for info:
"index" : {
"numDocs" : 10123,
"maxDoc" : 12345,
"age" : 2000, #number of milliseconds the index has been open... sort of equivalent to index freshness, but not really.
"version":123425235, #index version. Actually, I think this should be in responseHeader to aid in client-side caching
I think this stuff is useful, it's just a matter of preference if it goes in the same handler or not.
If this does go in this handler, then perhaps it should be named "indexinfo" or something. I'd be fine with this hander being only about schema too though.
I had thought of the Map for the field name keyed value as well.
Terms and document frequencies make more sense from a facet handler, it seems, which you can already do with &qt=standard&facet=true&facet.field=fieldname&q=[* TO *] I believe.
I'll add the Map level in there, and the notice, and commit soon so we can tinker with it in Flare as a way to provide a dynamic UI based on the fields in the index.
If you want to commit early and still mess around with the parameters and response formats,
one could add a 'NOTICE'=>'This interface is experimental and will be changing'
to the response.
As this handler returns info about the index, is this where listing of terms and docfreqs should also go?
Looks good, I like the fieldnames as the keys. The only change I might make is to make it extensible by returning a map as the value.
Instead of:
It could be
And then other info could optionally go in there:
Hmmm, and what are the aesthetics of the XML?
<lst name="fields">
<lst name="id> <str name="type">string</str> </lst>
<lst name="text">...
Not bad...
The initial example was from an older example index. From trunk, the response is this:
incubationdate_dt is a dynamic field, and thus could not be gleaned from simply reading schema.xml.

The truth is making non-scheduled payments will have very little impact on your score. They probably aren't reporting to the bureaus every month if you have a "Gentleman's agreement" with them to pay off a debt.
Paying it off will help any further damage to your score if it keeps it out of collections. It could be a huge help for your long term credit if you can pay it off and re-establish your worthiness with them and keep this account open.
Is there already a derogatory remark showing up for this vendor?

The reshaping of the Maple Leafs began in earnest yesterday.
Less than 24 hours after the National Hockey League's board of governors ratified the new collective bargaining agreement, Leafs' general manager John Ferguson held conversations with the representatives for Owen Nolan, Joe Nieuwendyk and Gary Roberts.
Nolan's agent, J.P. Barry, met with Ferguson yesterday afternoon in an attempt to work out the status of the injured forward, who is scheduled to undergo knee surgery on Tuesday.
The Leafs would like to buy out Nolan in order to clear space under the $39- million US salary cap. Barry, however, questions the medical treatment his client received from the Leafs and the legitimacy of the buyout.
While the NHL players association is closely monitoring the dispute, league vice president Bill Daly feels, on the surface, that the Leafs should be able to proceed with their plans, although this is far from being a black-and-white issue.
"Nolan was deemed by the Maple Leafs as 'fit to play' during the lockout," Daly said via e-mail.
"As such, he can be bought out. As a general matter, you can't buy out an injured player. This is all on background."
Nieuwendyk and Roberts would like to return to Toronto, but likely will have to accept pay cuts in order for that to happen.
"I had the opportunity to talk to John," Rick Curran, the agent for Roberts and Nieuwendyk, said yesterday, refusing to elaborate on the talks.
Other Leafs who are possibilities to have their contracts bought out include veteran defencemen Tomas Kaberle, Ken Klee and Bryan McCabe, the team's player rep.
"Personally, I don't think Bryan is a candidate," said Jeff Solomon, McCabe's agent. "Having said that, they have to buy out somebody."

Step by step pictorial ,if you want i can add a nominal write up as well but its pretty easy to follow.
Cheers AL
Old tip from Keith at our club for basing,swapped from plaster to Coving adhesive or Tile adhesive much tougher and cuts chipping from ware and tare down to next to nothing.
While the plaster/adhesive is still wet and tacky swish the base in your sand bucket,saves having to glue it on later.
Applying the marsh grass:
Push the end of a matchstick into the filla and give it a little spin,this creates a nice indent where you want the grass to sit,now take a pinch of grass and fold it in half,now cut the bottom/fold off and dip it in white wood glue.Just push it into the hile youve made and nine times out of ten it will just sit bolt upright while drying.
Once dry cut the grass to size and push the middle out to spread the grass slightly.
