Skyforce Swarm Greensboro
Sioux Falls Wins 114-87
For much of the game, the Sioux Falls Skyforce (5-2) and Greensboro Swarm (2-6) were locked in a back-and-forth battle Tuesday night, but a huge second half by Sioux Falls made that a distant memory.
The Skyforce outscored Greensboro 61-38 in the second half to secure a 114-87 win over the Swarm, but the first half was a much different story.
The two teams engaged in several runs throughout the first quarter, with the Skyforce building multiple double-digit leads only to see the Swarm chip away every time. Tied at 49 just before the half, Sioux Falls gave itself some breathing room with four straight points.
Those four points would end up being part of a dominant 26-5 run that gave the Skyforce complete control of the game. Sioux Falls ultimately outscored Greensboro 33-15 in the third quarter.
Guard Briante Weber tallied his second triple-double of the year with 16 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. He also added four steals and shot 6-of-12 from the floor (4-of-6 from three).
Forward Okaro White continued his strong debut season with the Skyforce by posting 22 points on 8-of-9 shooting (4-of-5 from three). He was instrumental in Sioux Falls' third-quarter surge, tallying 10 points in the quarter while nailing both of his attempts from long distance.
Keith Benson added 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.
Sioux Falls was locked in defensively, too, holding Swarm guard Xavier Munford, one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA D-League, scoreless. Munford missed all 10 of his shots. He entered the game 13th in the league scoring 22.3 points per game. The Swarm managed to shoot just 38.8 percent.
Rasheed Sulaimon scored 22 points to lead the Swarm, while Mike Tobey had a 18 points and 13 rebounds.
Sioux Falls blistered the nets, shooting 51.3 percent from the floor and 48.4 percent (15-for-31) from beyond the arc.
The Skyforce hit the road to face the Iowa Energy on Saturday, December 3 at 7 pm.

The Euro and Its Guardian of Stability--The Fiction and Reality of the 10th Anniversary Blast
This paper investigates why Europe fared particularly poorly in the global economic crisis that began in August 2007. It questions the self-portrait of Europe as the victim of external shocks, pushed off track by reckless policies pursued elsewhere. It argues instead that Europe had not only contributed handsomely to the buildup of global imbalances since the 1990s and experienced their implosive unwinding as an internal crisis from the beginning, but that it had also nourished its own homemade intra-Euroland and intra-EU imbalances, the simultaneous implosion of which has further aggravated Europe's predicament. To keep its own house in order in the future, Euroland must shun the outdated "stability oriented" policy wisdom inherited from Germany's mercantilist past and Bundesbank mythology. Steps toward a fiscal union to back the euro are also warranted.

There has been plenty abuzz about Samsung and Google's latest and greatest, the Galaxy Nexus, but one thing we haven't heard talked about much is the display. Yes it is amazingly gorgeous coming in at 4.65″ and having a large 1280 x 720p resolution, but we've had many questions and comments asking about the panel type. Yes the Samsung Galaxy Nexus uses a Pentile Matrix display but don't worry it still looks great. What is the difference between RGB and PenTile you ask? All the details are after the break.
How this works is the way the pixels are displayed on the screen. For an example the original Galaxy S used the Super AMOLED display and while it looked awesome, used a PenTile display where each sub-pixel shares colors instead of getting their very own. This not only makes the display a little on the fuzzy side but it also gives the screen that blue hue, as well as the color green being a little underwhelming. The Galaxy S II however, uses the newer Super AMOLED Plus from Samsung and the "Plus" is Samsung's way of saying they are using a full RGB color display instead of the cheaper PenTile that shares colors and pixels. The image below is a perfect example of this:
The device might be old but this same situation was a big deal when the original Google Nexus One was released and you can see those images by clicking here. No Samsung didn't forget to add the "Plus" to the new Galaxy Nexus rocking Ice Cream Sandwich, in order to achieve that high 1280 x 720 resolution and keep the awesome colors and contrast of an AMOLED panel they had to compromise a bit. So why does this matter? Using the PenTile in real world scenarios for users will result in slightly less detail and a loss of sharpness, not to mention the color hue we talked about earlier.
Is this a bad thing or a game changer? I don't think so. For those with eagle eye vision they may be able to spot the differences, but one thing the Galaxy Nexus has going for it is the higher resolution. The 1280 x 720 resolution offers a much higher pixel density close to that of the iPhone's "Retina" display. So all the pixels are that much smaller and crisper, so while we do have a PenTile display on board the screen should still look gorgeous. The cons of the PenTile will be much less noticeable on the higher resolution the Galaxy Nexus comes with compared to, say, the original Galaxy S that sports a 800 x 480 resolution.
Obviously I would've loved to see the Galaxy Nexus come with a Super AMOLED Plus full RGB display and the high resolution, because anyone would, but I'm perfectly fine with the PenTile for now and will gladly pick up the Nexus come launch day. In case you missed any of our coverage of the new superphone feel free to check out our Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich portals just linked to, then watch our hands-on videos seen below and decide for yourself if the screen is beautiful or not.

Hi there! I am a graphic design and advertising student working on a corporate identity project.
I am currently working on a littering campaign assignment for a state government. The rational behind the campaign is that litter starts small, and as it accumulates becomes a big problem, therefore, one should stop littering as to not start a mass mess.
P/s: Brochure will be a door fold and is still under construction, as such part of it still needs more text. Contributions on your view on littering is greatly appreciated as with the design/typographic side of it.
Also, the criteria for the assignments include application of the campaign onto a minimum of 8 different medias, therefore, any media suggestions would be great too. :)
As of now, i plan to do:
Print Adverts
Dustbin (?)
Plastic Bag (Not really turning out too well for me. =/)
Ambiance (ideas needed.)
Stickers (to be stuck on random stuff that could be litter/ or to remind people to not litter that item) (?)
Thanks in advance guys! =)

It's hard to be a woman today, it is.
I live in a shithole apartment complex in SW. The rent just went up $120. The couple below me are alcoholics and fight all the time. Last week, in a fit of jealousy, she (who works for the State of Oregon) was beating the hell out of her husband (a veteran) after she cheated on, left him and threatened to take his pension.
It got so loud, I went downstairs to pound on the door. I beat on that door like a boxer and she didn't let him up. The manager arrives so they could "talk." It was all so civil. The husband emerges with shirt torn, neck red, crying and drunk. The cops come and she tells the cop to fuck off TO HIS FACE. She wasn't arrested, she wasn't removed from the property and she wasn't evicted. I had to let him stay at my place, cause I have nothing better to do. She is sitting pretty, watching the tv loudly and keeps her state job and isn't inconvenienced in the slightest.
Let me ask you something dear women of Porkland, how would it be if the husband had done the beating and told the cops directly to fuck off? Would he get to keep his job, not be arrested, sleep soundly in his place that night and not be evicted?
Let's ask Hilary.

If you're looking for a good, high-quality olive oil to cook with or drizzle without abandon onto your favorite foods, I'm happy to tell you that I've finally found it, and I've even scored us a 10% discount!
I think I've admitted my salt obsession before, but what you don't know is that I'm also addicted to olive oil. Is there anything more tasty than a plate of tomatoes with basil, salt and a healthy drizzle of olive oil? I cook with it. I pour it on the top of pasta. I saturate bread with it to make croutons. I poach things in it. I'd even drink it straight if that was acceptable. So when I was introduced recently to Aceites Abril brand of Spanish extra virgin olive oil, I was really excited to try it.
Did you know that almost 70% of all extra virgin olive oils sold in the store in the U.S. are fake? There was a study done by UC Davis to discern which of the top brands of olive oil were actually worth buying, and many of them are not. They are oxidized, refined or mixed with lessor-quality oils. That just makes it all the more important to understand how to identify good quality olive oil.
The harvest date, the region it was produced in, and the varieties used to make it are the most important factors. I would also add that it should be packaged in a dark-tinted bottle that won't allow light in, which can spoil the oil.
When I received the Aceites Abril, I was happy to see that it was in a dark-colored plastic bottle. It is cold-pressed and non-refined — a blend of three Spanish varieties: Hojiblanca, Picual and Arbequina olives, obtained for a single source in Spain. (Read more about what makes Aceites Abril a trusted, high-quality brand).

The true test of the quality of the olive oil, of course, is in the taste and smell. If it's flavorless and boring, it doesn't really matter what the bottle looks like. I like to try a spoonful of the oil before I decide if it will make the cut. I look for a strong young olive scent, like I just cracked open a fresh olive straight from the tree. From the first sip, I expect a lingering peppery burn in the back of my throat, which lets me know it's fresh and packed with antioxidants.
Aceites Abril has all of those qualities. It scent is fresh and robust. The peppery burn lingers but doesn't overwhelm. The taste is mild – slightly nutty with a hint of herb and apple. I got the feeling it would be a great cooking oil, as its flavor was mild, so it wouldn't overpower the flavor of more delicate foods, and I was absolutely right!
I put it to the test immediate in two separate taste tests — one of my favorite snacks and a recipe that involves using olive oil to poach or confit green olives (I know, olives cooked in olive oil! Double yum!).
As I mentioned earlier, one of my favorite things to eat is tomatoes with olive oil drizzled over the top. This requires the use of only the freshest, best tasting oil. A bold olive oil enhances the acidity and brightness of the tomatoes. Aceites Abril was just peppery and aromatic enough to elevate the tomatoes, without stealing the show, as some more pungent olive oils do.
But how would it hold up as a poaching oil? I had to know, so I loaded a bunch of gorgeous, plump Castelvetrano olives into a sauce pan and poured the Aceites Abril over the top to cover them. On a side note, I love the pouring spout on the bottle. It wasn't a tediously slow pour, but it didn't come bursting out of the spout either. It had a flow regulator so I could pour it as slowly or as quickly as I wanted by squeezing the plastic bottle.
It takes about an hour to poach the Castelvetrano olives in the olive oil. When I finally removed them, I was glad to see that the Aceites Abril olive oil held up nicely after all that time. I was able to reuse it for other purposes, rather than having to throw it out. The olives turned out great! (Get the recipe for these citrus and herb marinated olives here!)
Aceites Abril passed all of my taste and cooking tests. It's the real thing! I can't tell you how excited I am about that.
To celebrate, I worked out a deal to offer you 10% off your order when you buy Aceites Abril. Here's the link to order. When you check out, be sure to use the coupon code: SavoredJourneys to receive 10% off your order!
If you're not convinced yet, here are the specifications that you probably want to know before buying:

Using handkerchiefs as decor wasn't my idea, but it was something I've had in the back of my brain for a while.
Earlier this summer, I ditched the kids and Mark for a fieldtrip with a friend to the Elephant's Trunk flea market. Let me just say, it was redunculous.
I walked away with some great stuff: a standing lamp, the coffee table that I had spray painted red, a bunch of jars and bottles (I collect aqua glass), an awesome storage cabinet, and… a bunch of old handkerchiefs. Gross you think? I beg to differ. Decoration, my dears.
I looked on Amazon for some 12″ square frames that would work. I knew I wanted ones with minimal frame… ideally a square piece of glass clipped to a backing. I didn't get exactly what I was imagining but these are the next best things:
Once the frames were delivered, all I had to do was choose the handkerchiefs that fit best, and slap them into the frames!
Using double stick tape, I affixed each corner of the fabric to the black cardboard backing that came with the frame. Some of the handkerchiefs were too small and since I didn't feel like covering the black picture frame backing with something lighter in color, I just didn't use all of them. Other handkerchiefs [handkerchieves?] were a little big so I had to wrap the edges over and tape them down.
When all was said and done, I had some adorable frames that I mounted on the way up to Martha's room.
The frames were the biggest expense at $10 a pop, but the handkerchiefs/ves were $2 for the lot of them!

A Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Kitchen
I know cleaning is the most boring part of maintaining a house but if you don't want to fall ill and want your place to look amazing, you have to clean it all up.
While cleaning rooms is still fine, cleaning your kitchen is another story. A lot of us don't know from where to even start but no worries guys because this article will tell you just that. With these simple steps, you can clean your kitchen in no time at all and actually enjoy doing it too. The checklist was submitted to us courtesy of HomeGuyd.
So, what are you waiting for? Go and clean your kitchen now!
1. Remove the clutter
You need to first sort through the pile of rubbish in your kitchen including the newspapers, toys, etc. which don't belong in the kitchen and keep them in a separate basket. Throw any food item which has gone bad and makes sure there is not a single item left on the floor or the countertops.
2. Put the dishes in the sink
Then, gather all your dirty dishes and put them in the sink with a soap solution so that while you clean the kitchen, the soap solution can loosen the dirt from your dishes.
3. Spray the countertops
Next is to spray your countertops and stovetops with a cleaning solution so that it does its job while you clean the remaining part of the kitchen.
4. Clean your fridge
Now you need to empty your fridge of any unnecessary food items or anything that has gone bad. Make sure that you have only good or required food items in the fridge and throw everything else into the trash can.
5. Clean the top of the kitchen
Now, start cleaning from the top of the kitchen. Clean the ceilings and the top of the doors. You can use long-handled dusters of vacuums to do this job. Don't worry about the floor getting dirty as you will clean it in the end.
6. Clean your microwave and cabinets
Then, clean your microwave from the inside and the outside and wipe down the upper cabinets with a damp cloth.
7. Wipe down the countertops
Now, you need to wipe down your countertop and stovetop which was earlier sprayed with a cleaning solution and make sure that there are no stains left behind.
8. Clean the vertical surfaces
Once you have cleaned all of those surfaces, it is time to clean the kitchen tools and equipment which have a vertical surface, like the refrigerator's surface, microwave's surface, oven, and so on. Make sure you clean the handles and the outside properly.
9. Clean the lower cabinets
Then, you need to wipe clean the lower cabinets and drawers with the help of a warm soapy solution.
10. Wash the dishes
Once every surface is cleaned, it is time to wash your dishes and clean your sink. Rinse your sink with water and let it dry.
11. Empty your trash bin
Throw all the trash outside in the trash container and clean your trash basket once before putting a new trash bag inside.
12. Clean the kitchen floor
Finally, it is time to dust the floor and then mop it with a damp mop. Once you have done this, you will notice that your kitchen looks very clean and tidy today.

Delhi, India (PressExposure) May 15, 2009 -- RNCOS, a leading industry research firm, has recently released its new report âU.S. Convenience Stores Market Outlook to 2013â, which says that despite the economic recession in the country, the overall convenience store industry sales in the US registered a growth of around 8% in 2008 over 2007.
As per the research report, in-store sales opposed the overall trend in the US retail sales in 2008. Overall retail sales in the country declined as compared to more than 3% increase in in- stores sales at convenience stores. The profitability of convenience stores also increased by 54%, reversing the two-year decline when profits dropped by over 42%.
After analyzing the industry deeply, we expect that convenience stores sales will grow at a CAGR of around 5% during our forecast period (2009-2013), mainly on account of strong demand for motor fuel in the country as well as increasing in-store sales.
Additionally, at regional level, southern region continues to dominate the US convenience stores industry. This region accounted for around 47% of the total convenience stores in the US in 2008. Whereas at state level, District of Columbia seems to have the greatest potential for growth of convenience stores, as it was the least saturated state in 2008, with the ratio of one convenience store for around every 5,000 persons.
âU.S. Convenience Stores Market Outlook to 2013â is an extensive research and in-depth analysis of convenience store industry in the US. The report gives an overview of the US convenience store industry and discusses the market trends to help clients analyze the leading-edge opportunities in the US convenience store industry. The report will largely help investors and global retailers to navigate through the evolving convenience stores industry in the country.
The report supplements the past and current information on the US convenience store industry with forecast on various important industry aspects, including the market size of convenience store industry, in-store sales, retail industry, working population in US, middle class population, personal disposable income and GDP per head, number of Internet users, and breakup of population.

Leisure giant Thomson Travel Group has appointed its first in-house IT specialist.
Karen Goh has joined the company from Masons. Her appointment comes after a radical overhaul of Thomsons' legal function last summer.
Until then the group had separate legal provisions for each division, such as Britannia Airways, Thomson Holidays and Lunn Poly.
But under plans initiated by group general counsel Richard Churchill-Coleman, a central legal division was established (The Lawyer, 31 July).
Part of the overhaul was to appoint a team of in-house specialists in IT, aviation, employment and property – Goh is the first one to be appointed. Her remit will include IT, intellectual property, e-commerce and data protection.
Goh joined Masons 15 months ago from Herbert Smith. "I really like doing my work, but partnership takes you into a different dimension," she says. "A lot of solicitors think that's what they should strive towards, but the lifestyle element is very important to me and I began to realise that private practice was not want I wanted."
As well as providing legal advice, Goh will take on a management strategy role that will see her working on the forthcoming panel reviews with Churchill-Coleman.
Although the reviews for the specialist panels will not begin until all the in-house roles have been filled, Goh says there are a range of firms she is already interested in. Masons, she says, is a possibility.
It is understood that Churchill-Coleman will shortly begin a review of Thomsons' central panel. Core firms used by the group include Allen & Overy and Norton Rose.

Icahn's 'Hail Lieberfarb'13 Oct, 2005 By: Erik Gruenwedel
Corporate raider Carl Icahn's characterization this week in an open letter to Time Warner shareholders that former Warner Home Video president Warren Lieberfarb's unexpected Dec. 11, 2002, termination was one of the media giant's major missteps, came out of left field.
Seemingly loathe lauding praise toward management of any type, especially if he owns stock in the company, Icahn's unintended admiration for Lieberfarb — widely heralded as "the father of DVD" — would appear to be more about the financial windfall the format has brought Time Warner and less about Lieberfarb's executive prowess.
Considering Icahn's disdain for corporate excess, most notably compensation and associated perks, it would be interesting to hear his view on Lieberfarb's allegation that Time Warner owes him millions in reparation and expenses, including a $25 million bonus.
That's quite a dividend headed toward the wrong shareholder.

I don't know if it is true, but i heard that Jiri might not be back as soon as they had hoped for.
I don't know where you heard that but he is playing on Friday.
Got a source? A link?
FYI, your signature line has a typo.
He's obviously advocating reading as the key to the future. :twitcy:
He he he! That is awesome!
This makes it sound like he's a go Friday...
Mid-Iowa Newspapers - Iowa State's Hubalek returns to practice
he's back..he'll be ready to go friday.
He practiced yesterday.... he'll play (some) this weekend.
No wonder there wasn't a source or a link. This thread sure is a turd....
Hey now!! I posted a link refuting his statement.
i heard that hes expected to play on friday too. i needed something to do friday and saturday nights, so i picked up some tickets. but the question i had was does this include the games before ISU plays too?
I meant there was no source or link posted with the original post.
I know what you meant...lol
i would assume so, I can't imagine too many tickets would be sold to just the first games if they were seperate.

Posted via NHS Choices
My daughter has Aspergers and has been at st Andrews for 6 weeks. I have little confidence in the non profit making organisation. Some staff are nice, others are very rude and haven't a clue what they are doing. I worry they have a financial interest in keeping my daughter there as long as possible to milk hundreds of thousands off our local NHS trust. The model is all wrong, communication is pathetic, you are treated like relatives of a criminal and we can't wait to get our daughter home but fear they will do little to help her.

The holidays can be a hurried time. Let me encourage you, though, to stop and take time to spend some cozy time reading together with your children. As you take this time out year after year, reading holiday books together will become a treasured tradition that your family will look forward to as the seasons turn.
Tip: 13 Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids
It's fairly easy to find good Christmas books. Quality Thanksgiving books are a little more scarce, it seems, especially as Thanksgiving becomes increasingly swallowed up by Christmas. However, through years of book sleuthing, I've come to find some sweet treasures that are perfect for family read-alouds.
Rhyming Books For Thanksgiving
I try to mainly recommend books that are in print. Merrily Comes Our Harvest In is no longer in print, but it's worth purchasing a used copy simply because it's such a fun little book. It's short enough to read in one sitting, but it contains a variety of fall and Thanksgiving poems. Some are serious and many are funny. It would be a good way to introduce your children to poetry in a light-hearted fashion. At our house, we like to make tea or hot chocolate and a nice snack while we have our poetry time. There's something about creating a special ambience that makes poetry more appealing.
We're all familiar with this famous Thanksgiving song, but it makes a beautiful read-aloud as well. One of the most special elements of Over the River and Through the Woods by Lydia Maria Childs is that there is snow. It is unusual for a Thanksgiving book, but gives an incredibly festive feel. Of course, this book demonstrates warm, loving family relationships and holiday traditions as well.
Tip: How To Prepare For Thanksgiving
Picture Books For Thanksgiving
This is a typical cute Berenstain Bears book that's great for younger kids.Berenstain Bears Thanksgiving Blessings by Mike Berenstain discusses faith and family and tells the story of the Pilgrims as they came to the new world for the freedom to worship God in their own way. This is a perfect Thanksgiving book for little ones.
If you're looking for a beautiful, old-fashioned retelling of the historic Thanksgiving story,The Thanksgiving Story by Alice Dalgliesh is it. Alice Dalgliesh has a simple yet lyrical writing style and the illustrations in this little book are great. It's the perfect introduction to the real story of Thanksgiving.
Tip: Thanksgiving Stockpile – Shopping During the Holidays to Save Later
Thanksgiving Book For Middle-Grade Children
In A Thanksgiving Treasure by Gail Rock, Addie Mills and her friend Cora Mae are always up to something. In this short chapter book, they stumble onto the property of an ill-tempered old man who drives them away. But Addie and Cora have other plans. This book is about friendship, love, and surprises, even in the midst of rocky relationships and broken hearts.
So grab a cozy blanket, snuggle up on the couch, and dig into some of these great books together. Make some Thanksgiving memories!
What are your favorite Thanksgiving books?

Robert Ludlum's The Geneva Strategy Paperback
by Robert Ludlum, Jamie Freveletti
One evening in Washington, DC, several high-ranking members of government disappear in a mass kidnapping.
Among the kidnapped is Nick Rendel, a computer software coding expert in charge of drone programming and strategy.
He is the victim with the most dangerous knowledge, including confidential passwords and codes that are used to program the drones.
If revealed, his kidnappers could reprogram the drones to strike targets within the United States.Jon Smith and the Covert-One team begin a worldwide search to recover the officials, but as the first kidnapping victims are rescued, they show disturbing signs of brainwashing or mind-altering drugs.
Smith's investigation leads him to Fort Detrick, where a researcher, Dr Laura Taylor, had been attempting to create a drug to wipe memory from soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
But Dr Taylor's research was suspended almost a year ago, when she was placed in a mental institution.
Now, if Smith doesn't figure out the brainwashing drug, and track down the kidnapped Nick Rendel, the kidnappers will soon have the power to carry out drone strikes anywhere in the world...

TUF 17 ratings fall despite hyped KO
The numbers are in and week three of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs. Team Sonnen drew 1.2 million viewers, according to MMAWeekly.com industry sources.
Although that is still a strong number, it has to be a little disappointing for UFC brass that heavily promoted what will likely be the knockout of the season.
The season opened strong at 1.51 million viewers for the two-hour premier, but is currently averaging 1.34 million viewers per episode, three weeks into the season.
That is still well above season 16, which had yet to draw a million viewers to a single episode by its third week.

When I don't make my own nut butters, I like to head over to Whole Foods and pick up a jar or two of these.
Earth Balance makes my favorite peanut butter! They also put flaxseed in the peanut butter, yum yum yuuum.
But when I recently discovered that I also loooooove unsalted nut butters.
So far, I've only tried TJ's unsalted peanut butter (other than the ones I make at home), but it's pretty good too. When I need a quick snack on the go, I throw some on top of plain Greek yogurt, along with some homemade granola- protein, carbs, and fats!

Sarah Palin seems to be inching closer to a run for the Republican nomination for President. Palin, who visited the Iowa State Fair a week ago, released a new web video that highlighted her trip. The video also reminds people that she will be back in Iowa on September 3rd for a Tea Party of America Rally.
The question on everyone's mind is will she actually run? I guess we will have to wait and see what she says in a couple of weeks. One thing is for sure; her web video sure feels like a precursor to a campaign.

Sir Alan Sugar has said he finds making money better than sex.
Asked if he agreed with one of the contestants on the new series of his BBC show The Apprentice who had said he preferred making money, Sir Alan said money was definitely his priority.
"I don't know, it very much depends," the 60-year-old said.
"You should have asked me that question 30 years ago. Now definitely making money is my priority."
The fifth series of The Apprentice has already seen its first casualty, with one of the contestants pulling out of the show before even meeting Sir Alan for the first time.
Speaking about the incident, Sir Alan said: "I personally don't know who he is. I never met the fella.
"I think he got to his hotel room and realised he had left his family for 12 weeks and what he had let himself in for. I think the reality hit home and that's what's done him in."
The former Amstrad boss has said the new series will reflect the current financial crisis.
The new series of The Apprentice starts on BBC1 on Wednesday March 25th.

Let's face it; no one likes getting a ticket when hurrying somewhere. Although it is commendable to watch the speed limit, there are some situations when you really have to push the pedal to the metal a little. I was in such a situation just the other day, and when the cop pulled me over, I really thought that I was going to get a ticket this time around. I am usually a law abiding citizen and I do not speed unless I really have to, but sometimes, just like the next fellow, I have to hurry a little.
The cop who pulled me over was, to my relief, a really nice guy. We all know how it is up to the cop who comes by your car window whether you will get a ticket or just a warning. In my case, it was the latter, and I was really thankful for it. I always try my best to answer all the questions correctly and have all the papers in order, and I also keep my car clean. All these scored points over time in my favor, and I managed to wiggle my way out of a speeding ticket one too many times.
So, since I may start to think that I may not be so lucky the next time, I am decided to get myself one of those radar detectors that everyone talks about. Of course, there are quite a few things to keep in mind when I am thinking about getting one such gadget. For once, it is the pricing, since I've heard that a good unit can fetch up to six hundreds, which, in my opinion, is quite steep! Still, if you are the kind of driver who speeds up a lot, you may be able to repay your investment within a short time.
I've read through some reviews and I noticed that some radar detectors come with app compatibility, so you can track their activity directly from your smartphone. Personally, I think this feature comes in handy, because it is quite common in this day and age to use your mobile phone for all kinds of things. Why wouldn't avoidance of speeding tickets be among them?
I prefer getting a unit that is easy to setup, since I am really not that great with gadgets. Next, I will have to check the legislation in the states I intend to travel, to see if I am not going to break the law by having a radar detector installed in my car. Since some states have some tough legislation on the issue, I really do not want to end up on the wrong side of the law. So, no matter how nice the last traffic cop I've met was, I do not plan on tempting fate again. I will just get myself a radar detector, and I won't have to worry about speeding tickets ever again.

Give Pencil a Chance, Part I
9 comments:
I have one of those old pencil sharpeners too is that not odd ? I liked it but it chews pencils like crazy and leaves them rough . I also bought a charcoal pencil set and some generals charcoal pencils . You influence me to buy the best art supplies LOL . be on the lookout I sent you a pkg . I hope it makes you happy .well take care and stay well and stay safe and yes we had snow yesterday (sunday morning )ReplyDeleteReplies
I have a feeling a lot more people are like us with this sharpener. It'll sharpen just about any pencil! Yours must need a new blade? Is such a thing possible? Aw, gee, you're too sweet. The General makes some of the best affordable pencils. They have a video that shows how pencils are made. May your drawings inspire you to draw on and on and on!Delete
A package! Goodness! 2017 is good to me. Thanks in advance. :)
We heard about all the snow. May your crocuses flourish! It's so warm here the irises are puny and might fail to bloom for the first year ever. Spring is here! :)
no to puny irisis so sad ...yep I hope my zinnias do lovely this year like they did last year . I'm going to put in some sunflowers this year too . always looking out for the birds LOL .I'm glad the generals got it right . take care and be good .ReplyDeleteReplies
The irises grew several inches overnight. I forgot we had a week of true winter. I almost bought zinnias yesterday. I ended up leaving the plants I chose in the cart because JC's blood sugar dropped while we were in the nursery. There's always this weekend and I will buy a zinnia or three because you're growing sunflowers. :) They're loving the wild grass seeds along with the bird seed but I wish they'd eat the black beetle larvae that've invaded the willow.Delete
Be good? LOL. I will if you will.
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
oh no I had a low blood sugar episode too this week and it took me out for the count it always takes me a few days to get back to normal it hits you really hard I can and do sympathize with JC . this one hit me really hard this time . does jc have ones that hit him really hard ? . btw did you get your pkg yet ? I hope so ...Let me know if you did nt ...okay toodles .ReplyDeleteReplies
It's scary for sure. I had a KIND bar in my bag and it helped. It's better than those glucose tablets but eating properly helps prevent and lessen such episodes. If Mary Tyler Moore can live a full life as a diabetic then so can everyone else.Delete
Mail is headed your way, if it hasn't already made an appearance.
I have one of the same sharpeners...I remember the days in school...a needed sharpen was as good excuse as any to get up and wander to look out the window or spy at the back of the head of that boy you were afraid to look in the eye! I have a bit of a pencil collection myself...i DO NOT like the so called mechanical pencils. What good is that tiny lead that always breaks anyway!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Do you think that's why most pencil sharpeners were in front of a window? Surely I teachers understood. Mechanicals have their own unique character. Become one with the lead. I wear out erasers before the lead breaks. Well almost always. Sometimes I over-lead and it breaks if it's too long. OL.Delete

Over the last couple of years, I've gotten to do some pretty cool things. I've published three novels, three episodes of a new serial series called Writer's Block, written short stories for a few anthologies, and hosted a podcast that consistently blows my mind. I hope it gives you the same kind of feeling.
The podcast has been an especially gratifying experience. Through it I've made some really great friends, gleaned priceless advice from other writers that are a lot farther in their careers than I am, and opened my mind to new possibilities. Hugh Howey even mentioned it on his blog yesterday. And to top all that off, the audience has grown exponentially since I started it.
I can attribute all of the successes I've had to one thing more than any other. Persistence. I don't give up easily. I believe that the harder you work, and the more consistently you pursue something, the luckier you get.
Find something that makes you happy, and if you can find a way to benefit others with that talent, then you're on to something. Then do it. Then keep doing it. There will be plenty of days that it seems like no one is listening or seeing all of the hard work that you're putting in with no return. Don't worry about it. When others will give up, keep working. Eventually you will look around and notice that there's a whole group of people that have benefited from what you've been laboring alone at. Then welcome them in and keep going.
In over 80 interviews on Author Stories, the one theme that is repeated is that successful people don't give up. They just don't. And why would they? It's our superpower.

This month, a major American textbook publisher removed a political science textbook from its website, proceeded to destroy as many copies as possible, and vowed to reimburse anyone who had already purchased the book. This was not a reenactment of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, nor was it an effort to correct a factual error in the publication. Rather, as journalist Rania Khalek reported in Electronic Intifada, it was McGraw-Hill capitulating to complaints from a popular Zionist blogger, called the Elder of Ziyon, and other influential pro-Israel individuals, who objected to the content of a figure featured in the textbook.
The image in question depicted a set of maps of historical Palestine, which showed the stages in which Palestinian territory was lost to Israel. Critics described the image as "invented anti-Israel maps."
.@elderofziyon gets McGraw-Hill to recall politics textbook with invented anti-Israel maps https://t.co/vtThNjV9vT pic.twitter.com/6Ge0CekhAs
— Omri Ceren (@cerenomri) March 7, 2016
The maps are, however, far from "invented." The existence of historical Palestine and the subsequent forced exodus of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians is very well-documented.
Nor are the maps anti-Israel – if they are, then so is the truth, both past and present, about Israel's actions. The maps depict Israel's violent and illegal encroachment on Palestinian territory, which continues to this day. As Khalek reported, the chronological maps show the attenuation of Palestinian territory from 1946, one year prior to the invasion of Zionist militias, to 2000, "by which point Palestinian land had been reduced to a handful of tiny non-contiguous enclaves in the occupied West Bank and a sliver of Gaza."
Why are these maps so offensive to the pro-Israel camp? As Khalek explained in her article:
Such maps present an enormous threat to Zionist ideologues because they have the ability to cut through Israeli propaganda that portrays Palestinian anger and violence as rooted in religious intolerance and irrational hatred rather than a natural reaction to Israel's colonial expansionism, land theft and ethnic cleansing, all of which continue today.
That is why any time an iteration of these maps breaks into the mainstream, Israel's advocates rush to censor it.
Israel has, itself, worked hard to censor and revise the truth about its actions in Palestine. Inside Israel, the very mention of the word, "Nakba," which means catastrophe in Arabic and refers to the mass violent expulsion of Palestinians in 1948, is considered to undermine the state's legitimacy. Israeli schools are prohibited from educating their students about the Nakba, laws criminalize its commemoration, state archives are sanitized of any records of the event, and the Israeli media broadly denies it ever took place.
[Related: The Tragedy of Zionist Revisionism of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict]
What is notable about the McGraw-Hill incident is that it underscores just how powerful the Israeli lobby is in the United States. With the passing of recent state and federal laws penalizing the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, skewed media reporting about the Israeli occupation (see here, here, and here), and seemingly unconditional, bipartisan support for Israel, it is clear the Israeli government and its supporters are exerting immense political power in the United States.
Time and again, private actors and organizations affiliated with Israel have effectively shut down anti-Zionist criticism by pledging—or strategically withholding—massive funds. This was evident in the case of Steven Salaita, as well as the controversy surrounding a recent pro-Palestine event at Harvard Law School, which resulted in the reallocation of donor funds that had previously been reserved for use by all the school's student groups.
There have also been many ludicrous attempts to deny the very existence of the Palestinian people, including Israeli lawmaker Anat Berko's ignorant claim that Palestinians cannot truly exist because the Arabic language does not have the letter 'P', former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's statement that "there's no such thing as a Palestinian," and former House Representative Newt Gingrich's comment that Palestinians are an "invented" people.
These attempts to erase and rewrite the history of Palestine and Palestinians must be challenged and replaced by historically accurate and compassionate narratives. To be true allies, we must preserve and celebrate the historical memory and culture of the Palestinians, a vibrant, resilient people that have existed for centuries.
Video: A Palestinian man dances the traditional Palestinian folk dance, called the dabke, throughout eighteen cities and locations in historical Palestine.

Particulate Engineering - A Future in Healthcare?
Opportunities for Particulate Engineering exist in the Healthcare sector, according to a report just published by the powders activities of the Materials KTN (Knowledge Transfer Network), based at Ceram.
The network, which links companies, intermediate organizations and universities to identify and provide support to meet industry's needs for technology, research and training in particulate engineering, has identified areas where it considers that the expertise of particulate engineering SMEs could prove very valuable. These include: Imaging and sensing techniques, miniaturisation, net shape processing, biomaterials and nanotechnology.
"With the medical devices market in the UK alone worth about EUR 6 billion, there are certainly opportunities for the particulate community to be involved in the healthcare sector in the future," says Bob Blake, author of the report. A Materials KTN Technology Translator, Bob has talked to both major players in the industry, such as DePuy and Biomet, and to leading academics in order to identify predicted technology evolution in the healthcare sector.
The report highlights key recommendations to drive forward development possibilities and to identify opportunities for collaborative research for the particulate community.
Registered users can download the report via the link in the panel on the right of this page.
