Rotisserie specials for Week 4
Who might excel for owners in Rotisserie formats over the course of the holiday week? Our Adam Moore has 10 recommendations you should consider when setting your lineups.
This will be the second shortened scoring period Fantasy owners will have to deal with this season, as the league did not schedule any games on Thanksgiving this year.
The entire league will now be off Thursday, which means each team will play one less game during Fantasy Week 4 (Nov. 19-26). We have once again listed the five options who may be a bit under the radar but who, we feel, will make a meaningful impact in Rotisserie formats this week. Conversely, we have also compiled a list of players who could do more harm than good this week.
Find a place for 'em
Ramon Sessions, G, Bobcats (MIL, TOR, ATL, @WAS): Sessions continues to serve as Kemba Walker's primary backup and has performed well in that role. He has scored in double figures in all eight of his games thus far and is averaging a healthy 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. While he is shooting just 41.7 percent from the field and a putrid 19 percent from the behind the arc, he looks to have a chance to improve on those numbers in the upcoming scoring period. The Bucks, Raptors, and Hawks all rank in the bottom half of the league in opponent field-goal percentage while the Wizards have surrendered an average of 95.3 points over their last six games. Despite his poor 3-point shooting and lack of steals thus far, Sessions has been productive and efficient enough to leave active in most formats and that trend should continue this week. Continue to roll with the 26-year-old in most category-based formats during the upcoming scoring period.(owned in 74 percent of leagues)
Jason Richardson, G, 76ers (TOR, @CLE, OKC, @PHI): Richardson did not get off to the best start in Philadelphia as he scored just 10 points in his season opener before missing the next four-plus games with an ankle injury. However, the veteran was able to return to the starting lineup last week and responded by posting 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds. 2.0 assists and 1.8 steals over the four games since he came back. He is also shooting 42.6 percent from the field since his return, including an impressive 48.1 percent from downtown. While most figure the 31-year-old's best days are behind him, he remains one of the better 3-point shooters in the game and has received the green light by coach Doug Collins. Richardson is still capable of lighting up the scoreboard when he is on and looks to have a plethora of favorable matchups on tap this week. The Cavaliers, Suns and Raptors are allowing their opponents to shoot at least 46.4 percent from the field while Phoenix and Toronto are also allowing opponents to hit over 40 percent of their shots from behind the arc. Look for Richardson to come out firing this week and we would expect him to make more than he misses in the upcoming scoring period. (owned in 64 percent of leagues)
Kyle Korver, F, Hawks (ORL, WAS, @CHA, LAC): After shooting just 32 percent from the field and averaging 7.0 points over his first four games of the season, Korver has finally found his range for the Hawks. The 31-year-old is averaging 14.3 points per game over his past four games and has made 65 percent of his shots from the field, including 65 percent from behind the arc. He is also averaging a healthy 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals over that stretch and is seeing just over 30 minutes per game while splitting time at shooting guard and small forward. It seems Korver has finally readjusted himself to being a full-time starter for the first time since the 2005-06 season and now will face the defensively challenged Magic, Wizards and Bobcats in the upcoming scoring period. Even the Clippers are allowing opponents to shoot nearly 35 percent from the field from downtown, which bodes well for the free-shooting Korver. Fantasy owners should continue to ride his hot hand this week. (owned in 23 percent of leagues)
Metta World Peace, F, Lakers (BKN, @SAC, @MEM, @DAL): After almost completely disappearing from Fantasy relevancy the past two years, it appears World Peace is back. The veteran was a Rotisserie owners' dream during his better years as he offered solid mid-teen scoring numbers while filling up the stat sheet. However, he has seen his numbers and stock completely plummet during his two years in Los Angeles and entered this season as merely an afterthought to most owners. World Peace has found his scoring prowess again as he has scored in double figures in seven straight games and is averaging 15.7 points over that stretch. He is shooting 47 percent from the field -- including 38 percent from downtown -- to go along with 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals. While most don't think he will be able to maintain his current pace -- especially once new coach Mike D'Antoni takes over -- World Peace's production has been too hard to ignore. It will likely take D'Antoni a few weeks to get his system in place, which should allow World Peace to continue to chuck it up for a few more games. Fantasy owners should take advantage of his hot hand and leave the 33-year-old active for at least one more week. (owned in 52 percent of leagues)
Tristan Thompson, C, Cavaliers (PHI, ORL, MIA): While Kyrie Irving and Dion Waters have been getting all the attention in Cleveland of late, Thompson has very quietly been having a productive sophomore campaign. After going through some ups and downs early on in the year, the 21-year-old enters Week 4 averaging a solid 9.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. He has scored in double figures in six straight contests and is shooting 49 percent from the field during his run while also posting an assist and one steal over that stretch. While Thompson continues to see starts at power forward, he is also eligible at center and looks to have somewhat of a favorable schedule on tap this week. Despite the Magic, Heat and 76ers all holding their opponents to less than 100 points per game, all three teams are allowing clubs to make over 44 percent of their field goals, which is way above the league average. The one knock on Thompson thus far has been his lack of blocked shots; however, the fact that he is averaging nearly a double-double to go along with a steal and assist over his last six games is reason enough to leave him active in most category-based formats this week. (owned in 78 percent of leagues)
Put 'em on your bench
Jerryd Bayless, G, Grizzlies (DEN, LAL): After averaging 11.4 points per game with the Raptors a year ago, Bayless has been surprisingly quiet during his first year in Memphis. He has only scored in double figures in two of his nine games on the year and is averaging just 6.9 points, 2.9 assists and 1.3 rebounds. He is making 47 percent of his field-goal attempts and 50 percent of his shots from behind the arc, so his lack of production seems to be the result of a lack of playing time rather than because of poor shooting. Bayless is seeing an average of just 15.9 minutes per game thus far, which is well below the 22.7 minutes he saw during his final year in Toronto, and we don't see that changing this week. The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the league right now, so don't expect coach Lional Hollins to mess with his rotation much. Combine that with the fact that the Grizzlies only play twice this week against the Lakers and surprisingly stingy Nuggets, and we feel Bayless is best left on the bench for at least another week.(owned in 29 percent of leagues)
Austin Rivers, G, Hornets (NY, @IND, @PHO, @DEN): Rivers was one of the few rookies to enter the league this season expected to make an immediate impact. However, that has not been the case over the first three weeks of the season. The 20-year-old has struggled with injuries and the speed of the NBA game, which has resulted in him averaging 6.7 points, 2.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds thus far. He has only scored in double figures once over his first seven games -- which was 10 points -- and is shooting a dreadful 28 percent from the field and 23.1 percent from behind the arc. While the Hornets seem content to leave Rivers in the starting lineup and have him learn on the fly, we strongly recommend owners do not follow suit. New Orleans will face some of the leagues' better defensive teams in the upcoming scoring period as the Knicks and Pacers rank in the top 10 in opposition field-goal percentage. Even the Nuggets have been stingier than expected on defense thus far, so Fantasy owners should leave Rivers sidelined for at least one more scoring period. (owned in 45 percent of leagues)
Gerald Green, F, Pacers (@WAS, NO, SA): Green got himself off to a fairly productive start this season, but like the rest of the Pacers, he has hit a wall of late. The 26-year-old was moved to the bench after beginning the year in the starting lineup and as a result has seen a dip in production. He is averaging 8.3 points on 37.5 percent shooting from the field -- including 33 percent from downtown -- to go along with 5.8 rebounds. His numbers have been lacking in the steals and blocks departments, and he has just one block and no steals over his last five games. While Green's ability to fill up the stat sheet and post a decent field goal (49 percent) and 3-point (39 percent) percentages made him a popular pickup in deeper category-based formats last season, he has been more of a liability in those leagues so far this year. Even with the lowly Hornets and Wizards on the schedule, Green is not worth activating in most formats for the upcoming scoring period. (owned in 37 percent of leagues)
Taj Gibson, F, Bulls, (@HOU, @MIL): Gibson had high expectations entering the season as the departure of Omer Asik was supposed to open up more minutes and elevated production for the 27-year-old, But so far neither of those two things have happened. Coach Tom Thibodeau has kept his minutes right around the 20-per game mark and as a result, Gibson is actually averaging over a point less than he did a season ago, thanks to his 41 percent field goal shooting from the field. He is also averaging the same number of shot attempts this season as he did last year, so even if he starts knocking down more shots, his numbers aren't likely to increase from what they were last year. The only thing Gibson has been thriving at is blocking shots as he is averaging just under two per contest (1.9). However, that isn't enough to stand on its own, especially when he is putting up just 6.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. With the Bulls only slated to play twice in Week 4 and no hint at any extra minutes in the near future, owners may want to sit Gibson down for a week. (owned in 47 percent of leagues)
Brandan Wright, C, Mavericks, (GS, NY, LAL): Wright got off to a red-hot start this season and as a result became a very popular pick off the waiver wire. But as in all aspects of life, things change and so has Wright's Fantasy value. After posting a solid 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over his first six games, he is averaging 5.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.3 blocks over his next five contests. His recent lack of production has landed him in the doghouse with coach Rick Carlisle, who benched him because of poor effort and has since reduced his role to that of a benchwarmer. Wright is only averaging 12.5 minutes over his last five contests and most of that has been in mop-up time. To be fair, the return of Shawn Marion and Chris Kaman would have reduced his playing time anyway, but not to where it is right now. Until Wright is able to get back in Carlisle's good graces, he should be left on the bench in all Rotisserie formats this week. (owned in 33 percent of leagues)

[Cross posted from Fundación Karisma, Link, (CC-BY)] In Bolivia, La Paz's City Council is discussing the "Municipal Autonomy Bill No. 100," which seeks to create mechanisms to ensure the protection of the public performance right of musical works via strengthening collecting society system.
The draft law has generated considerable public discontent in Bolivian society because it is quite broad in powers granted to the country's main collecting society, SOBODAYCOM. The bill seems to have a very wide scope as it suggests that to develop any musical activity in the city of La Paz hereunder the SOBODAYCOM's authorization will be required. The entity will grant it upon payment of the appropriate license. Continue reading »

wikiHow to Wash Hair for Cutting
This article will explain how to wash a client's (or your own) hair in preparation for cutting and styling. The steps in this process are important, and the more care the process is done with, the better your haircut will turn out, and the easier it will be to produce.
1First, wet the client's hair. Make sure it is wet all the way through. After doing this, turn off all the water.
2Next, squeeze some of the excess water out of the hair. This way the hair is not over-saturated with water, and the shampoo will coat the hair better because it cannot be diluted.
3Now pour shampoo into your hand (the amount should be slightly larger than the size of a quarter) and spread it over both hands entirely.
4Massage your client's hair (only the top and sides) with the shampoo.
5Next, pour out another amount of shampoo, slightly less than the first one. Once again spread it over your hands. But this time, spread it through the ends of the hair. Be careful not to concentrate too much shampoo in one area, or you'll dry out the hair.
6Rinse out the shampoo.
7Now apply conditioner to the ends (see the step before last, and do it in the same manner). If you plan on giving your client a blow-dry or any sort of heat styling, it is very important that you use a heat styling conditioner (or shampoo and conditioner set). This will prevent most of the damage from the heat.
8Rinse out the conditioner.
9Rinse the hair for a few seconds with cold or cool water (depending on your clients sensitivity). Colder is generally better. This will seal the cuticle (fortifying the effects of conditioning), cause the hair to shrink back to its natural length, and keep the hair damper longer.
10Now squeeze as much water possible from your client's hair (without causing your client discomfort) so that it's damp.

Sports News – MLB news: Ryan Franklin out as Cardinals closer; Jason Bay returns to Mets lineup; Victor Martinez to DL; Robot to throw first pitch at Phillies-Brewers game
Another week, another closer out of a job in Major League Baseball. This time, it's former stalwart Ryan Franklin. The St. Louis Cardinals bumped him from ninth inning duty after he opened 2011 with a 11.57 ERA and four blown saves in five tries. He was an All-Star in 2009 and converted 27 of 29 save tries last year.
The New York Mets will hope to jumpstart their struggling offense this week by activating Jason Bay. He hasn't played a regular season game with the big club this season after a strained intercostal muscle in spring training landed him on the DL. Bay went 4 for 4 with two homers in minor-league rehab start yesterday.
The Detroit Tigers' key offensive import is on the shelf. Victor Martinez, acquired in the offseason, was placed on the 15-day DL this week with a groin strain. He left Monday's 8-3 win against Seattle after singling in the second inning.
Are the robots about to take over? The next step in their revolution is upon us. A robot designed by engineers at the University of Pennsylvania will throw the ceremonial first pitch at Wednesday's Phillies-Brewers game. It's a mechanical arm attached to a Segway and will used a CO2 burst to throw the ball. First baseball – then THE WORLD!
NBA news: Lamar Odom wins Sixth Man Award; Amar'e Stoudemire injures back
Lamar Odom is the first Los Angeles Laker to win the NBA's Sixth Man Award since its inception. He averaged 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds this season, playing every game. He beat out Jason Terry of the Mavs and Thaddeus Young of the 76ers, who finished second and third, respectively.
The New York Knicks are already down 2-0 to the Boston Celtics and the road doesn't get any easier. Power forward Amar'e Stoudemire went down during Game 2 with back spasms. He left the game in the second quarter after going just 2 for 9 from the floor and didn't return. The Knicks are already without Chauncey Billups.
NHL news: Kunitz, Downie suspended; Ducks send Jonas Hiller to Anaheim; Sergei Zubov retires
The NHL doled out its expected suspensions for Chris Kunitz and Steve Downie yesterday – and each forward got a simple slap on the wrist. The Penguins Kunitz received a game for his elbow to Tampa's Simon Gagne and the Lightning's Downie got a one-game ban for leaving his feet to hit Pittsburgh's Ben Lovejoy.
The Anaheim Ducks are still without All-Star starting goaltender Jonas Hiller, who hasn't yet recovered from vertigo-like symptoms. He travelled with the team to Nashville for game 3 of the Western Conference quarter-final but, with his symptoms still present, he's been sent back to Anaheim for further recovery and evaluation.
Sergei Zubov has called it a career. The Russian defenseman had 771 points with the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars before leaving the NHL for the KHL in 2009. He missed all of 2010-11 with a major hip injury.
NFL news: William Moore arrested; retired players sue the players' union
Atlanta Falcons strong safety William Moore was arrested and jailed after a traffic stop on Tuesday. He was charged with speeding, driving with a suspended license and failure to appear. He was released on Tuesday night.
Five retired NFL players filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL Players Association last week. The suit accuses the NFLPA of defrauding thousands of players of royalties for using their images. It's a continuation of the battle the retired players started to wage in 2007 stemming from the use of their likenesses in video games, especially the EA Sports varieties.
The NFLPA currently "doesn't exist" as a union as it decertified in an attempt to fight the lockout.

Social Question
Care to interpret my dream?
I had this rather horrifying dream a few days ago during an afternoon nap;
I can't remember the beginning of the dream since I didn't write it down right away, but I ended up in an antique store on Main street of the tiny ocean-side tourist town where I currently reside. I am babysitting my boyfriend's boss's two-year-old child, or a friend of the child. the kid starts playing with some toys in the store. I go out back where there is a wooden deck, and next to the deck is a Monterey cypress tree(only, with redder bark/wood) which has no needles, but is surrounded by its own sticks, and the needles of a pine tree. past that is the ocean where a circle of women with whom I am familiar are gathered in a circle and beginning a ceremony. they usher me over to join them, but then I remember that I'm supposed to be watching the little boy. I go back inside and he's fine. I go back outside and drop a candy wrapper at the base of the tree. i go down to retrieve the wrapper, and I grab it. I notice that the tree is dead and then I notice that the ground at the foot of the tree is covered in scorpions then I look down and realize that they are crawling up my legs en masse. I can't even see my legs past my knees they are stinging me all over my legs. I start to run and try to brush them off but they start stinging my hands as well. I wake up terrified.
any ideas?

Martyn, who headed up the STW Communications Group's interactive communications, said the group was unique because the small companies would continue to operate independently.
"One thing that makes it different . . . is that the smaller business structures will be retained . . . with the big business resources. All the companies are independent."
Martyn said the new group would capitalise on the confusion about interactive communications. "Within the industry itself, there are dozens of companies clamouring for clients' budgets but, from our research, no one seems to be offering both the breadth of specialisation and depth of understanding.
"Clients are very concerned (about whether) they are getting the best skill sets from their digital suppliers."
David Trewern, managing director of David Trewern Design, which specialises in interface design and application development, said there had been a lot of instability and consolidation in the industry.
"There has been a lot of people trying to put together something with scale, which is difficult because with scale comes overhead."
Digital@JWT also does application development and online management, while mdigital claims to be the largest worldwide online media network.

Brett Bafaro did not know what to expect when he attended a National Underclassmen Combine before last season but after performing well the Hillsboro (Ore.) Liberty outside linebacker started receiving letters from schools across the country.
Now Bafaro, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound prospect, wants to start turning some of that interest into offers.
"Last summer I went to an NUC event and got the MVP there and I went to a few NIKE combines and put up some good numbers there," Bafaro said.
Article Continues Below
"Right after that is when the letters started hammering me. I fee like I performed pretty well there but I could do a lot better.
"I was doing all that on a strained hip flexor. Hopefully, I can stay healthy through this summer so I can perform a lot better and schools that are already interested in me will become more interested in me and maybe offers will roll around."
Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Alabama, Cal and Nebraska are some of the schools showing interest in Bafaro, who was invited to Cal's upcoming junior day but is unsure whether he can make it. UCLA and USC are two other programs that interest him.
"Last summer I went to the NUC thinking I've never done this before, I've never been to any sort of combines and I wanted to see what I could do," Bafaro said.
"I went against some of the top kids in the state and it was an eye-opener. It was a great feeling to do so well."
Bafaro wants to get back out there and hopefully pick up some offers. The Pac-12 stands out most to him and the Oregon standout said USC has always been a dream school but he's more focused on getting offers from within that conference.
His spring and summer schedule isn't mapped out yet but he's hoping to take trips to some Pac-12 schools to work out and he's planning to gain more exposure by attending a NIKE camp or two.
"I'm going to come into camps a lot heavier, faster, more athletic and this year on the football field I plan to make a lot more plays," Bafaro said.

We can all agree that drones are definitely one of the most exciting gadgets of the last decade. Flying RC toys have been popular (and somewhat affordable) since the late nineties, but consumer drones, as we know them to be, quickly rose to the mainstream due to 21st century technological advancements in remote controlled flying software and also the lighter & more durable materials that are available for manufactures today.
Drones are controlled by four fixed-pitch fan blades which spin at varying speeds to control the flight. To manoeuvre a drone, one or two of the four blades has to increase or decrease their speed of rotation. Each drone blade has one simple mechanical moving part, a propeller attached to an engine. The main rotor blade of an RC helicopter requires complex pitching mechanisms in order for it to manoeuvre. This difference makes drones much more easier to produce, more reliable, and less costly.
The drones that have made our top 10 list for 2017 are all rated highly among the drone flying community. They are all ready-to-fly models, so there is no need to spend hours putting everything together!
All you would have to do is charge the battery until it's full; browse through the user manual a few times whilst the battery is charging (we suggest you focus on the 'how to fly' section) and perhaps watch a few youtube videos of people flying the model of drone you have purchased so you at least feel a bit more confident before your first flight.
These drones also feature the manufactures built-in safety features, so there is peace of mind that your drone will return to the ground before the battery dies. Some even feature GPS restrictions, so you won't accidentally fly in to restricted air space. These drones are used by all types of drone pilots – from your weekend hobbyist – to all types of professional drone flying professions, such as aerial photography makers. Whatever drone you decide to buy – these are the drones you'll be seeing a lot in the skies of 2017!

A few weeks ago, I got "the itch". I looked around my domicile and every square inch was covered. The tops of cabinets held dusty artifacts that had long ago become cozy homes for spiders. Cabinets were as packed as my pants. There was no room at the inn.
The thing about stuff is that it permeates every pore of our idea of what home is and all of our empty spaces beg and plead to be filled. We happily concede away from minimalism. We are all collectors. We are connoisseurs of life's flattened pennies. Things = time and time passes quickly.
I started with the goddamn kitchen because that's what I call it. The goddamn kitchen was full of the mother I want to be. The stand mixer that I'd never used. I took it out and I let it go and with it, I let go of my dream that one day I would be the woman making 15 dozen cookies for my son's soccer team. He hates sports. I burn cookies. The english stoneware tea set I found at a hospice store in Burbank before my daughters were born. I was so sure we would have a tea party with real tea cups. It turns out, I am not the mother who plays tea party with real cups. "Let me go!", they said and I did because some dreams have to die, or, be shipped to Chicago to another mother who will find the cups and saucers' true calling.
And for days and now weeks, this practice has continued. Letting go of the small toys that their big hands no longer touch. Letting go of the idea of who we are and who they are. We were frozen in time, tied to dusty wooden train tracks and clinging to the dolls with dirty faces and unbrushed hair.
And my closet…dear Zeus…my closet. A time capsule of forget-me-nots and 4 inch heels and sizes my hips would burst through like the Kool-Aid pitcher through a brick wall. I need to make room in my closet for the body I have because I love it and it deserves its time to shine. It's hard to find space for the new you when your hangers are pressed against a size 4 teal number that looks like I stole it off of an extra on the set of Showgirls. I am not that girl anymore. Wait, I'm that girl's much older sister and, while she is still there, she is not living fully right here and right now and my closet was a fucking living memorial to my 20s. I flung things on to my bed and when I was done, I kept the glitter zebra print Pat Benatar shoes because you'll have to rip my beating heart out of my chest first.
This process is intense and really quite beautiful. Every day, we learn to let go and the fear that kept us clinging to these things is gone. The fear that says, "I can't. I can't. I can't. This is who I am and I can't let that go."
"They're JUST things.", I've been known to say. But, I know it's not true. They are pieces of a life built and they mean something. They mean a great deal. But, there is a difference between reverence for the past and being held captive by it.
We're not done. Not even close. A little bit, every day, we watch our rooms and home transform into our present selves. It's inspiring and it's exciting. Seeing how much space we have to grow into the next chapter. What is going to fill that spot of the stand mixer? Probably a recessed wine fridge. Yes, change is good.
I may even wear those zebra heels next week. To the market. On a Tuesday morning at 11:00 a.m. – just to pay reverence. If for no other reason than the fact that after the great purge and a great reconciliation, you should really embrace and honor the things you keep. A reminder of how far you've come and how damn good your ass looks when you wear heels.

Magners League
Glasgow maintain play-off push
April 4, 2010
Glasgow's Bernardo Stortoni evades the tackle of the Dragon's William Harries during their clash at the Firhill Arena © PA Photos
Glasgow 27 - 19 Dragons Ulster 24 - 33 Cardiff Blues Munster 15 - 16 Leinster Ospreys 27 - 19 Scarlets Connacht 22 - 21 Edinburgh
Glasgow climbed back into the Magners League play-off places with a 27-19 victory over the Dragons at Firhill Arena - their first win in six games in all competitions.
Bernardo Stortoni, DTH van der Merwe and Colin Shaw scored tries for the Warriors, with Dan Parks kicking four penalties. Jason Tovey kicked 12 points for the Newport Gwent Dragons, who fought to the end, with Will Harries scoring a late converted try, but just failed to earn a bonus point which would have aided their own thrust towards the top four.
Glasgow took a fourth minute lead when Graeme Morrison powered through midfield before the ball found fullback Stortoni who went over for the game's opening try. The Dragons responded and with two penalties from Tovey in as many minutes and led by one point after 16 minutes. Glasgow retook the lead when left wing Van Der Merwe hacked long and won the chase to touch down. Although Tovey kicked his third penalty, Glasgow closed the half strongly and earned a 16-9 lead as Parks kicked two penalties of his own following prolonged pressure on the visitors' line.
Four minutes into the second half Dragons centre Matthew Watkins was sin-binned for a high tackle on Evans and Parks kicked the simple penalty. Parks eased Glasgow further ahead after 63 minutes with Tovey replying in kind three minutes later. With nine minutes remaining, Evans kicked to the Dragons line and winger Shaw pounced for an unconverted try. But instead of going for the fourth and bonus try, Glasgow were put on the back foot and in the final minutes Harries scored the sole Dragons try with substitute James Arlidge converting.
Leinster took a stranglehold at the top of the table thanks to Rob Kearney's try in a 16-15 victory over Munster at Thomond Park. Click here for the full report from our Game of the Week.
Edinburgh's play-off hopes were dealt a blow by Connacht's gutsy 22-21 victory at the Sportsground in Galway. Rob Moffatt's men are not the first to taste defeat at Connacht's little fortress but they would have dearly wanted to open up space over their rivals in the race for a top four spot. Despite out-scoring the hosts three tries to two the visitors were forced to make do with only a losing bonus point.
Ian Keatley got Connacht on the board with a third minute penalty and wing Brian Tuohy pounced for an early try before Keatley continued to add pressure with a drop-goal. Then Edinburgh's wingers struck a one-two punch to steal a half-time lead, with Mark Robertson flying over before Dutchman Tim Visser continued his try-scoring form.
Keatley began the second-half as he did the first by scoring, this time notching Connacht's second try. Another penalty gave the home side some breathing space but Edinburgh's third score, from openside Roddy Grant, threatened to undo their efforts. Replacement Miah Nikorah had other ideas, coolly slotting the winning points to send Edinburgh home cursing what could have been.
A double from flying Irish wing Tommy Bowe secured the spoils in the West Wales derby at the Liberty Stadium as the Ospreys defeated the Scarlets 27-19 on Friday night. The result revives the home side's title hopes but leaves the Scarlets staring into the abyss in terms of Heineken Cup qualification. Stephen Jones kicked 14 points for the visitors but it was his pass that was picked off in the dying moments for Bowe to seal victory.
Bowe had earlier cancelled out Jonathan Davies' try while Dan Biggar outdid his rival for the Wales No.10 jersey with 17 points from the boot.
Biggar's early drop-goal gave the home side the lead and the youthful fly-half was on hand to claim the advantage again after Jones had levelled the scores. The first try went to the visitors and was a well-worked affair, with Rob McCusker and Rhys Priestland carving through the line and creating the space for Davies to crash over.
The Ospreys' international contingent clicked into gear for their first try as Lee Byrne fractured some resolute Scarlets defence with an outside break, putting the lethal Bowe over in the corner. The second half saw Jones and Biggar trading kicks to leave the score at 20-19 to the home side with moments remaining and it was one misjudged pass that sealed the Scarlets' fate.
In Saturday night's fixture, Cardiff Blues made it back-to-back wins against Ulster with a 33-24 victory at Ravenhill that also kept their slim play-off hopes alive and bolstered their chances of staying in next season's Heineken Cup. For Ulster, though, defeat represented their fourth league game without a win and keeps the pressure on them to ensure they finish ahead of bottom side Connacht, who they head by only four points.
Tries from man of the match Casey Laulala, Ulster-bound Xavier Rush and replacement Dafydd Hewitt saw the Blues home, along with 14 points from the boot of Wales winger Leigh Halfpenny. Ulster staged a second-half revival with scores from Stephen Ferris and Chris Henry, but they were never quite close enough to threaten Cardiff's control of the game.

The Rose Bowl Game Trophy, also officially known as the Leishman Trophy, remains a modest bauble by today's standards.

Thanksgiving Craft Round-up For Kids
Either your kids are already off for Thanksgiving break or they will be tomorrow. What will they do with all that time? Thinking you'll go insane as you wait for Thanksgiving with all the prepping and turkey dressing you'll have to do, this shouldn't be a problem with the list below. Hope it helps.
I have one craft, which is my Turkey handprints that grow. I do this every year with the kids and then we look at them the following year and see how much they have grown. It really is a neat thing to see.
Turkey Handprint:
Construction paper
scissors (if too young mom/dad should do the cutting)
Take your child and trace their hand on the paper. Cut out the hand and decorate it in order to make a turkey. We like adding googley eyes for the turkey and drawing (coloring) in the red flappy thing.
Here are some other arts and crafts:
A free Thanksgiving e-book that has over 30 arts and crafts to do for Thanksgiving, this should definitely keep the kids busy for at least a half hour.
Over at No Time for Flashcards (title cracks me up) there is a page full of craft ideas, I really love the Native American headdres and corn.
Davinie actually found a recipe for Pumpkin pie playdough mix, she also has a list of other Thanksgiving crafts your kids will enjoy.
Lyons Happening has her two boys showing us the Thanksgiving crafts they made, one of which is a story box about the indians and pilgrims. My kids will love drawing on a box with their version of what happened, I can't wait to try this out. They also show off their Thanksgiving Turkeys.
Katelyn over at GadaMedia wrote an article on making a Leaf headband for Thanksgiving. I think the kids would have a ton of fun with this. Course knowing mine they'd want to go outside and get real leaves.

OriginLab Corp. (Northampton, MA) has announced the availability of version 8.6 of its widely deployed Origin and OriginPro graphing and data analysis software. Noting that many of the changes in this release were developed based on customer feedback, the company reports that the upgrades and enhancements span all major areas of the software, including memory access, graphing, worksheets, importing, and data analysis. The most significant new feature in Origin and OriginPro 8.6, says the company, is the availability of a native 64-bit version in support of customers working with large data sets.
"Many of our users want to import and work with large data sets such as multiple channels of data sampled over long periods of time," said Dr. Easwar R. Iyer, OriginLab vice president of technology, in a press statement. "With our new native 64-bit version they can bring a large amount of data into Origin and then save their data, graphs, analysis results, and reports all in one Origin Project."

multivariate data. Image courtesy of OriginLab.
OriginLab Corporation introduced "Gadgets" in an earlier release of Origin. Gadgets, as described by the company, provide users a quick and easy way to perform exploratory analysis on data plotted in a graph. Analyses can be performed on a specific range of the data plot by positioning a region-of-interest (ROI) object to select the desired range. Three new Gadgets — Vertical Cursor, Sigmoidal Fit, and Curve Intersection — make their debut in Origin 8.6. Vertical Cursor provides the ability to read X and Y coordinate values for crossing data points on stacked panel plots and tag them. The Sigmoidal Fit Gadget can perform a quick sigmoidal fit in the ROI range. Curve Intersection provides the ability to calculate the intersection points of input curves and output the X,Y values to a worksheet.
In addition to the native 64-bit application version and new Gadgets, Origin 8.6 has been enhanced with the ability to zoom and pan inside graph layers using keyboard or mouse. "This will be very helpful for users to quickly identify and select regions of interest in their large data sets for further investigation," explained Dr. Iyer.
Origin's image profiles plot are said to provide a quick way to analyze image
data and generate profiles. You can create horizontal, vertical, and arbitrary
line profiles of the image data dynamically. Image courtesy of OriginLab.
Key new features in version 8.6 are said to include auto-hide for dockable windows; spider/radar chart, parametric function plots; import menu customization; and nonlinear fitting with integral. Other features and enhancements such as a new messages log window, a split worksheet tool, raw and index data support for more statistical tools, the ability to specify data range using X values, improvements to distribution curves for histogram plot, and flat-sheet output for column statistics have also been incorporated into this version.
OriginPro builds off Origin with additional analysis tools for image handling, peak fitting, signal processing, statistics, and surface fitting. Version 8.6 of OriginPro has been extended with all the new Origin features as well as advanced statistical tools in the area of principal component analysis and cluster and discriminant analysis. More normality test methods have also been added.

ApproachVIA DERRYFIELD PARK AND RESERVIOR RD. From I-93, get off on Exit 8 Bridge and held west towards Manchester, NH. Go roughly a half-mile over the crest of the ridge and you see a parking area and a ball field on your right. You want to park there and then walk down that that street until you hit a wooded traffic circle. The blocked dirt path will be the trail that will take you to the observatory.
Route Description
This another trail in the Manchester area that provide good views with very little effort. The trail, which begin at the wooded traffic circle on Reservoir Rd. travels up a 0.2 mile sustained moderate pitch to the Observatory on the summit. Once at the observatory walk on the side trail past the decorative memorial cannons to the fence of the water treatment facility. Views open to the west there with views of the Uncanoonucs and the west side of Manchester.
Continue to traveling on the main trail on a slight downward decent roughly 0.1miles and there will be the lift of McIntyre Ski Area with great views to the north.
Essential Gear
This section can be hiked in winter and make a great snowshoe hike just after a heavy snowstorm. Check snow depth and ice conditions in winter. Even in very deep snow this trail is managable without equipment. Still snowshoes in deep snow and yaltrax or crampons in icy conditions definitely makes the short hike more enjoyable.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- The president of the Roman Catholic Conference of Bishops said there are elements in the United States that would like to banish religion altogether.
New York Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan warned that "well-financed, well-oiled sectors" of society are attempting "to push religion back into the sacristy," The New York Times reported Tuesday.
"We see in our culture a drive to neuter religion," Dolan told a news conference in Baltimore.
He came prepared Monday to answer questions about the sexual abuse scandal at Penn State University that has reminded so many of the Catholic Church's own abuse scandal.
Dolan said the accusations against a former assistant football coach were a reminder sexual abuse is a universal problem that affects many institutions.
The bishop's conference in Baltimore established a committee on religious liberty and selected Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport, Conn., to head it.
Lori told the conference Catholic agencies in the District of Columbia and states like Illinois and Massachusetts have been forced to stop offering adoption and foster care services because of requirements they allow same-sex couples to adopt.

Need It Now: Mapplethorpe X7
With a smattering of leather and studded garb heading into stores this spring, no serious punk revivalist—or more modern-day, pared-down follower—should be without a copy of Mapplethorpe X7. Published this week by teNeues, the timely tome features the provocative, iconic imagery of cult photographer Robert Mapplethorpe (on-off lover and lifelong confidant of godmother of punk Patti Smith), as selected by Hedi Slimane, Cindy Sherman, David Hockney, Sterling Ruby, Vik Muniz, Catherine Opie, and Robert Wilson. Each of the seven artists curated an exhibition of Mapplethorpe's work in the years following his death in 1989, and the vivid results have now been bound together for the first time in this largely black-and-white volume.
Think of it as a pictorial companion to Smith's National Book Award–winning memoir, Just Kids—a captivating tale chronicling the creative ascent of two kindred bohemian spirits. Or simply as an alternative means of interpreting the anarchic mood of the sartorial season. Either way, its arresting photographs of New York's virtuosos of the seventies and eighties—among them, William Burroughs, Debbie Harry, Andy Warhol, and of course, Smith—resonate no less vehemently today, and offer a rare and intimate look at one of the city's most unbridled artistic eras.

Mustek Mini 3 stoped working from the cold
I was taking photos in 15 or 20 degree weather with my Mustek Mini 3 and came in and tried to download them to the computer, the screen came up and when I moved my mouse across the contol buttons on the screen they turned all wavey and then a pop up came up saying some thing was corupted, I looked at the camera and the viewer showed the number 88 I believe, I tried to change modes and shut it off, it wouldn't do any thing, I went to the website and read about condensation, so I took the cover off to let it dry out, after a few hours the camera appeared to take photos and I could change the functions again so I pluged it back into the computer and when the screen came up it would say camera not on or not conected, I erased all the files and reloaded with my disk, nothing, went to the web site and downloaded it from there, same screen not conected.
has any one had this happen, I am begining to believe the moisture ruined the camera even though it seems to be find other than I can't download to see now.
I e mailed the company Tech help but I believe they will just tell me to reload the camera software again, tried that 14 diffront ways all ready.
I was wondering if any one else had this happen and if they got the camera to work or the conection cable as I believe the camera is working again, wish I knew some one that had one so I could plug into theirs to see for sure, didn't want to spend another $120.00 to replace this one I have had out 5 times total
Two of us in the Great White North have been having difficulties with the Mustek in cold weather. My problems started at about 10 Celsius.
It would appear that the Li-poly battery on board just does not like cold weather.
Is your battery fully charged? When you plug the camera into the USB, does the red light go on and stay on ? Can you charge it enough to get the red light to go out?
Second, have you tried using the RESET. There is a small hole in the case just above the ON/OFF switch - take a thin piece of wire and give the reset a poke.
The quote below is from there web site. You may be exceeding the temperature that it's rated at causing the due point issue which can result in shorting conditions of the moisture that can cause electrical overvoltage. Good luck!
The allowable operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C.
Do not leave the camera in areas such as those described below.
--- Areas exposed to direct sunlight, or excessive humidity or dust.
--- Near a heater or air conditioner, or any other area subject to sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
--- Inside a closed motor vehicle parked in the sun, or in areas subject to strong vibration.
Moving the camera between areas with very different temperatures (from outdoors to a heated room in the winter time, for example) can cause condensation (water droplets) to form both inside and on the outer surface of the camera. Condensation can cause the camera to malfunction.
To protect against the formation of condensation, seal the camera in a plastic bag before moving into the area with the different temperature. Allow enough time for the air in the bag to naturally acclimate to the new temperature before removing the camera to use it.
Should condensation ever form on the camera, remove its batteries and leave the camera with the battery compartment cover open for a few hours to give it time to dry naturally.

thanks every one. Yes My battery took a charge Ironsides
I just tried the reset, the green light would go out and come back on so that appears to work, the camera appears to work, I just plugged it into the computer and tried it and it did not work again, but I did notice that the computer sense's it and makes that boink boink sound when you unplug it, when its plugged in and I push the button to on I can hear the computer ding like it sensed it , when I push the button on the camera to shut the camera off it sense's that and makes the sound, I guess there is a problem in the soft ware now.
I just walked into the kitchen and hooked it up to the plane and it worked on there, well it appears to work it registered two more photos taken.
I have downloaded the soft ware from the mustek site, off my disk 14 diffront ways, nothing, I have a older computer that I might try to down load the software into and see if my computer is screwey, this computer can be set to a priveious day up to 2 months back that , some times that works when you loose some thing but it didn't in this case.
It sounds like the Mustek is working. The Mustek software does not launch once the PC (I assume XP) senses the hardware.
The Mustek software should launch regardless of the presence of the camera. Does the 5nfs.exe launch when you double click this executable?
"C:\Program Files\mdsc5m\5nfs.exe"
I just right clicked on the viewer is what you are talking about and then the properties and here is what it showed on the properties ****"C:\Program Files\mdsc5m\5nfs.exe"** and yes I had to manualy do that, the viewer comes up but always has the box that says connect the camera or cord and retry,
I E mailed Mustek 3 days ago and they replied back today and gave me a number to call.
I messed around with it today and I on the disk I got with it when you down load it allows you to click the things that you want to install, it has about 6 things, The Twain box is grey looking with a check mark in it but when I try to unckeck it it doesn't do any thing, the other five are black and I can check and uncheck them, its like that part isn't working, the Twain and I believe thats what allows the software to sense when the camera is on and lets it down load is not working, when I get the disk to down load it has about 6 catogories, viewer uninstall etc, when I down load it from the internet it has 3, I really like this camera and hope I can straighten out the problem. One thing for sure I won't hook it up after being in the cold or damp again.
By the way Mr RC camman I tried it on my T hawk which is a fairly quick airplane to get up and it glides very well,, I have a Y conection and I tried it on the throttle and it wouldn't work, Tried it on which turned out to be the Rudder and it worked, I always mount the camera on the left side or point left and when I hooked it to the rudder which is the third plug on the recevier and I can turn left and it is on when I flick the control to the right it triggers the Camera, wished I had known that sooner because and I could have been using the T Hawk until I got the SS right, I bought a slow stick but been having problems getting any heigth, turns out it was a new battery that was only taking a half charge giving me all kinds of problem thinking my balance was off and all the time it was a defective battery.

This is what my screen looks like when I launch the Mustek viewer with the camera disconnected.
When I plug in the USB and turn ON the camera, the Twain launches and pops the thumbnails into the viewer.
Are we looking at the same screen shot?
How do you hook up a Mustek camera to your T Hawk? I have not got into aerial photography yet so any advice would be appreciated.
Yes thats what I get when I try to down load, I think I lost the down load software or more than likely some signal in the camera got zapped from the condensesation, every thing appears to work but it won't pick up the signal from the camera. I have a number to call but have been busy for 2 days and couldn't call them, first time I looked at the board in a few days
I have the Cam Man Mod from Cam man it is a mustek and all you do is get a Y conection about 3 to 5 dollars, its a futaba 3 wire conection, Take your wing off and look for the recevier, its sticky taped to the side of the fuse, I had to unstick mine so I could pull it out of the fuse compartment to plug the Y conection, there are 3 wires plugged in, , one of the end ones is the rudder, just unplug the one and try and use the rudder, when the rudder doesn't work thats the one you plug in, then you plug in the rudder to the Y conection and the camera to the other part of the Y and plug it into the camera, I always fly left so I cut a little slot to stick out the wire for the cam on the left side and plugged in the camera, I think it was work rudder to the right and the camera will turn on, the next right rudder will snap the photo, I used a piece of door kick to make a mount, its aluminum and its one of the cheap door kickers real thin they sell to screw to the bottom of a door, it is strong and super light hardened aluminum, you can score it with a box knife and bend it real nice, I use some welder vise grips that have wide about 3 inch wide jaws that stick out to hold it to bend the bends, it can be bolted or use stick on velcro to hold it to the left side of the fuse at a slight down angle about 20 degree's or less. The T hawki glides well because you need the engine off when you snap a photo and it downloads or else the photo's are wavey.
Thanks for the information about your T-Hawk/Mustek system. Couple of things. Can you tell me how I can find Can Man and do you have any of your aerial photographs posted?
Look about 5 posts above and look at the name, MR RC CAM MAN to the left just Like your name appears in the post, Click on his profile below his post and you can send him a e mail or PM, I would ask him his advise on which Camera to get, He is really good to deal with, he checked mine out for me a month ago, if I buy another it will be from him after he took care of a used camera I bought and he even sent me a photo in the camera when I got it back
well after messing with the mustek downloads about 15 times over the days I thought I would try to pull it up with another program, to make a long story short the computer said it sensed new hardware, after about 30 to 45 minutes it was done, I was going to try it and it said it said it had detected a driver, 45 minutes later it was done, I tried it and it worked, I have no Idea why this didn't do this sooner but its done and I can use it again but I am not taking it out in the cold again and if I do I will make sure it sets for 5 or 6 hours to dry out. I thought it was missing a driver but reloading the disk and program didn't help until today
Thanks to every one that tried to help

Zane Grey's first (1912) and most popular bestseller defined the mythical Wild West for subsequent generations. Donald Buka's twang and clear voice accent the tale well. Gunman Lassiter helps a wealthy Mormon rancher protect her ranch from cattle rustlers and the church. Although his narration is somewhat dry, Buka delivers at the dramatic points and allows listeners to savor the the excitement and intrigue of the Western frontier.
(P)1990 by Recorded Books, Inc.
"The Father of the Genre"
If Zane Grey's books sound like cliche cowboy stories, it's because he invented the genre. His writing conveys an authentic voice of the times about which he wrote. If you don't Westerns, you probably won't like it. If you like that period in history, this is as good as it gets. This particular recording is lower quality. However, the narrator is a delightful story teller. I recommend the book and this particular production.
"Good, fun read (Listen)"
This is the first western I had ever listened to, and must admit I had many negative preconceptions of what to expect. To my surprise this was a deep work which focuses of many important issues including role and treatment of women in society.
I was very impressed with the style of writing and beautiful descriptions of the rigid west, which Grey wrote from first hand experience. Some of his characters can come across as caricatures, but this can be leveled even at greats such as Dickens.
Overall, an excellent audio book and introduction to the works of Zane Grey. Buka?s narration is beautiful and he poses enough variation to bring all the character vividly to life.

In 1919, brothers Abraham and Isadore Brown formed a Richmond, VA-based soda-bottling business where they produced a cherry-flavored soft drink. The company soon grew to a Pepsi bottler/distributor serving the Richmond-Petersburg area.
The end of Prohibition in 1933 allowed Brown Dis to add their first beer, MD-brewed "Wolf Beer" to their operation. In 1935, August "Gussie" Busch, recognizing the Company's growth, met with Abe Brown. Within a year the Company became the Anheuser-Busch wholesaler for the Richmond-Petersburg area. Around this same time, Abe's son, Jacob Brown joined the business.
Toward the end of the 1940s, the Richmond and Petersburg businesses became separate entities, and in 1951 Abraham and Jacob formed Brown Distributing Company (BDC) in Richmond.
In 1969, Brown sold its Pepsi-Cola operation in order to focus on its beer distribution. During this period, Jacob's son, Larry, was instrumental in expanding their business when they acquired an Anheuser-Busch franchise in Palm Beach County, Florida in 1984. They also acquired the Petersburg, VA-area Anheuser-Busch distribution operation in 2001, putting back together the original Pepsi bottling-operation footprint.
In 1999 and 2006 respectively, Larry's sons, Jason and Reid, joined the business and began enlarging its scope, adding a non-alcohol portfolio including teas, waters, and juices. In 2009, the Company acquired Legendary Distributing, a Richmond, VA start-up craft distribution company that allowed Brown to start selling a variety of local and regional craft beers.
That same year, BDC acquired Fresh Beer, Inc., a micro-beer and specialty import distributor covering Palm Beach to Key West, Florida. The addition of this southeast-Florida operation further expanded the Company's territory and its portfolio of local and regional craft beers. In 2011, Brown Distributing Company's reach extended to the entire state of Florida with the addition of Florida Micro Beverage, Ltd. The new Florida "Specialty Division" was then split into two regions to efficiently supply this exponentially growing market. With the development of this market, the Company added more than 200 jobs during a period of high national unemployment.
The Richmond-based, family-owned Brown Distributing Company has grown from a producer of a single cherry soda to a highly regarded beverage distribution business. We pride ourselves on having an eye toward the future by being the distributor of choice in Virginia and Florida.
