Two New Photos of Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia
by Alex Billington
March 8, 2009
Source: Huffington Post
Thanks to the Huffington Post, we've got two new photos of Jake Gyllenhaal shirtless in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I was very hesitant to post these in the first place, but in the end I thought, why not? Some girls will get a kick out of them, some guys will get jealous and go to the gym, and the rest of us will just wonder when we're going to see a trailer or poster or anything at all. No one really knows whether these are official or not, whether they are stills from the movie or on-the-set casual photos, or whether they're even that exciting to begin with, but oh well, I'll put them up anyway for whoever wants to see them.
This is only the second batch of photos from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time that we've seen so far. The first batch hit back in August and showed Gyllenhaal, again, with his shirt off, again, with the same crazy hair and crazy lower get-up. Either way, as cool as these photos look, I really need a finish trailer to actually say that I'm as excited as I was at the beginning. I don't have a problem with Gyllenhaal, I think he's going to do a great job in this, I just want to see if they pulled off the action and the story more than anything.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is being produced by powerhouse producer Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Donnie Brasco, Mona Lisa Smile and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire helmer Mike Newell, and written by one of the game's original creators, Jordan Mechner, amongst a handful of other prominent screenwriters. Disney has pushed the release date back all the way to May 28th, 2010 next year.

I am a newbie to this site but unfortunately not a newbie to cancer. Up until about 3 months ago I proudly stated that I was a three (3) time cancer survivor. I had Skin cancer in 2006 with surgery to remove a chunk of my chest. Kidney cancer in early 2008 with surgery to remove left kidney and renal gland, followed up with a late 2008 surgery for Prostate Cancer which resulted in the removal of the prostate. The three (3) cancers were not related---lucky me.
Jump forward and I am one month shy of being five (5) years cancer free but feel a little awkward and tired so I get an early checkup and POW. There is something on the CT scan that looks bad. Well more CT scans followed with some blood workups and then a Pet Scan followed up by two biopsies and then more visits to the Oncologist with an eventual diagnosis we didn't want to hear; Advanced Stage 4 Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma. Cancer is back and in my thyroid, in two (2) lymph nodes, and with multiple nodules (some 12+) on my lungs. Well it just felt like someone kicked me in the gut or lower.
Well I felt sorry for myself for about 2-3 minutes and then decided it was time to fight again. I decided I was going to live and live long so it was time to figure out what to do and that was find the cutting edge, most up to date solution that was out there and sprint to it!
The Oncologist recommended Votrient but suggested I see another Oncologist at another Hospital to seek additional advice and get info on IL-2. In between visits to the original Oncologist and the new Doctor I searched the web. I educated myself to learn what was out there. What worked, what didn't and why it didn't. I read Blogs and spoke to family and friends seeking support and advice. Early on we decided to tell our family, our friends, and most important our three kids. We wanted and needed for them to know. I learned the first few times we went down this road that it is harder to hide it then to embrace it. Not that anyone wants to embrace cancer but we just didn't want to play those games if you know what I mean. It takes up way too much time and energy to hide it.
Well met the new Oncologist who confirmed the news and we discussed my options including IL-2. He noted that even though the cancer was back I lacked the normal symptoms, that I was in good shape (over weight yes) but organs and blood are good, and that I could always "fall back" to Votrient or IL-2 Therapy. He told me to relax for the weekend and get away from the computer and that he would do the "heavy lifting" and make a series of calls to John's Hopkins, U of Penn, Sloan Kettering, Fox Chase, and Thomas Jefferson Cancer Centers to see what cutting edge technology was out there and if it would be good for me. He was a God send. I don't know how many Doctors would have done that but he did!
Well he referred me to another Doctor in what would be a third different hospital, a third different Oncologist, and again we went through my history and current situation. I should say that prior to my visit I received a call from their "Nurse Navigator" who made sure that they had all of my records, tests, and pathology slides BEFORE I walked in the door. When the visit started they already knew what was going on and so we were able to focus on how to move forward. They were very organized and I was willing to do whatever we had to do. I didn't and don't care if I have to see 500 hundred Doctors. We were not giving up!
Jump forward a bit and it would seem that they have a future trial and that I may be a good candidate for this trial. They needed someone with RCC Stage 4 who has NOT gone through any programs with regards to chemo, radiation, or any type of drugs. They wanted someone pure. Never thought of myself as pure at the age of 53 but hey if it works.
So what is the trial? The trial would be the use of Nivolumab AND Ipilumaab together/same time. Seems they are having great success with these drugs in the melanoma world and that they think it will work for RCC. I sure hope so. So now I am waiting. I am waiting for the Clinical Trial Protocol to be finalized. Once that occurs (which means the Hospital, Doctors, and Pharmaceutical have defined the trial and signed off on the specs and legal crap) we begin pre-trial testing to make sure I am a good candidate and meet their needs (and hopefully mine).
Well the wait has now been three months with my cancer growing slowly (less than 1mm per tumor) but still growing. I am getting a bit more tired and a bit more stressed but looking forward to being able to say I am a 4 time Cancer Survivor. They have given me several scripts for tests and blood work and have scheduled me to come in on January 28-if not sooner. I have had one new CT scan just to make sure things aren't moving too fast and it seems that things are OK.
I will try and come back once the trial starts to let you know how it is going.
As each of you come in to this Holiday Season remember to live and try not to get too down (I know that it is easier said than done) but enjoy the moments that we have. Talk to those that maybe you haven't spoken to in a while, hug your kids, your significant other, and keep kicking ***! We will win!!!!!

Good luck with the trial. I benefitted from nivolumab for 18 months nearly curing me. I had a couple new mets bump me from the trial which was too bad. New protocol allows for some tumor growth which would have allowed me to stay in the trial. It is the greatest thing to come along yet. Others on this forum have the nivolumab plus other drugs in combo and are doing great. Keep us up to date.
Dec 20, 2013 - 3:26 pm
It is unfortunate that you continue to be challenged to fight cancer. But your attitude is fabulous! Keep up the good work!
I hope your words will encourage us all to savor the moment, emjoy our Christmas, kiss our spouse, hug our children and be happy for our blessings!
Dec 20, 2013 - 4:21 pm
I've been on Nivolumab alone for two years . It knocked out two tumors including one pretty big one and all is going well .
You have a great attitude and obviously a very strong constitution and I wish you all the good fortune in the world .
Dec 23, 2013 - 6:28 pm
I am on Nivolumab and Sutent since Feb 2013 and had a 3.8 cm tumor in my adrenal gland. It is now classified as scar tissue, swollen adrenal, or trace of cancer.
I am still on the trial but have dropped the sutent for now, just Nivo every 3 weeks until NED.
I have a good friend on the same trial (but with Votrient - since Nov 2012) and he is seeing continued stable of shrinkage on all of his tumors.
I believe Chuck (of AprilandChuck) is in about the same state I am and on the same trial.
It is good stuff. I do hear that the Ipilumab is a little tougher, but also accelerates results quite a bit.
Good Luck, keep us posted.
Dec 23, 2013 - 8:47 pm
Darron can you give me some info and the Ipilumab and how it is tougher? Thanks
Dec 23, 2013 - 10:28 pm
There was a melanoma patient I talked to that was on the Phase I trial of Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. She was in her 50's and was stage IV melanoma. She was early in her treatment and said that she had a bit of a rash, some fatigue, and had stomach "issues". She was excited to be on the trial and was hopeful for here results.
I say it is a little tougher than Nivolumab, but to be honest, other than a bruise on my arm every three weeks, and slightly high blood pressure, I have not had any issues at all with Nivolumab (by itself). I did have a number of issues while on the combination of Sutent and Nivolumab, but they always coincided with my Sutent cycles. For that reason, I attributed the side effects to the Sutent and not to the Nivolumab. Since dropping Sutent in October, my eyebrows have come back brown (from Sutent Grey), and I have gone from 168 lbs to 190 lbs (pre surgery weight). I did have a touch of gout (as does my friend on Nivo), but mine was treated in a few days and has not recurred.
I didn't mean that it was an extremely difficult combination, more that Nivolumab has given me no problems to speak of, and the lady I spoke with seemed to have a toucgher time tham I was having....The common name for it is "Yervoy". Side effects and comments from those with Melanoma are pretty easy to find. The treatment regiment is farther along for Melanoma than it is for RCC. I am a huge fan of trials and particularly a fan of the immunotherapy trials. It don't think it is a coincidence that the results have been promising for drugs that impact the immune system. After all, our only proven cure is IL-2, an immune therapy.
Ipi and Nivo (saving my fingers I hate to type) both impact the T-cells and how they are "turned off" by cancer cells. My understanding is that you effectively break an "off" switch that the cancer cells have been exploiting to keep from being attacked.
Here is a link to ipilimumab - http://www.cancer.org/treatment/treatmentsandsideeffects/guidetocancerdrugs/ipilimumab
Hope that helps, I didn't mean to scare you off from the trial. I have seen incredible results from the trial and would be in 100% if I had a chance to try the combination. I recall being upset that I got on an early arm of the trial and missed the Ipi arm.
Let us know how it goes!
Jan 15, 2014 - 9:00 pm
Well, it has been about 5 months since I was told the Cancer was back and as I mentioned I have bounced around a bit with several Doctors but found myself in a holding pattern for a specific Clinical Trial. I have had 2 CT Scans since September. The first showed small growth across the board. The last one showed 4 of the tumors to be stable with no growth and the other 3 to have grown very little so I should be glad for that.Hey maybe the Vitamin C I have been taking has helped to build up my immune system---LOL.
Chest hurts a bit and sometimes I have problems breathing. Kind of like that feeling you get when you are around an indoor pool with too much chlorine. You just cant seem to get a good breath and it hurts a bit.
Blood work up's have been great and show no signs of abnormality. Spleen is now a bit enlarged which I am assuming is part of the desease starting to work its way around.
Good news is that the Clinical Trial I have been waiting for was posted today and is now open. Have an appointment with the Oncologist on the 28th to re-confirm I am still in the trial and to get things going. That is assuming they didnt change the protocal which could put me out but out.
I guess we all know the feeling but the wait is so hard. You try to keep positive and laugh around your friends and family but there are times.......thank god for beer and wings!
Jan 16, 2014 - 7:34 am
Great to hear of the trial opening. Hope it works out.
Jan 21, 2014 - 8:23 pm
Signed my contract for the trial today. Been a long 5-6 month wait to get to this point. Seems like a lifetime. Next steps are a few pre-trial tests to make sure the ole ticker can take the stress. If that goes well then my first infusion is the first week of February. Dont know whether to cry or jump for joy. Think I will jump for joy!
Jan 22, 2014 - 3:20 pm
You are already a remarkable winner and a force to be reckoned with! I hope everything goes great for you and that we hear soon from you that everything is shrinking, or better yet gone and you are doing just fine. I have had three surgeries and have not been placed on any meds, oral or infusions. I had my right kidney removed Aug 2011), right lower lung (Mar 2013), and a tumor in the brain in November of 2013. I am waking up smiling every day and thanking God!
The people that I have met on this site helped to keep me going with my head up and a perseverance to win this battle! With what you have already won is amazing to me! I will be one of your groupies with wishes and prayers that you also beat this beast once again!
Love and prayers for good health!
Jan 22, 2014 - 3:45 pm
I hope all goes smoothly for you . You are plenty tough to handle whatever comes your way .
Jan 23, 2014 - 6:29 am
Jump and Cry....Then do the same thing when it is GONE!
Feb 02, 2014 - 5:46 pm
Well a quick update but looks like I passed all pre-clinical trial tests and I am in the program. I was told that they are only taking 75 people across the US so I count myself lucky. First infusion 2/10/2014. I am told they take a total of 4 1.2 hours. Hope no major side effects.
Feb 03, 2014 - 5:16 am
I only infuse Nivolumab, not ipilumamab, but I remember texting friends minute by minute on my 1st infusion. It is exciting to say the least (only to me I am sure). My infusions are only one hour of drip time, 30 minutes flush time.
1st time went something like this:
1) I am very nervous, just got IV, they took blood
2)connected to bag, not dripping yet.
3) started drip, no reaction yet, they took blood, again
4 thru 59)no reaction yet, they took more blood
60)done, they took more blood
hope that prepares you for the excitement. I did sneeze like I had a touch of hay fever during my IV flush on infusions up until the last three. I am usually tired that evening and sleep for a few hours.
give us exciting minute by minute updates, trust me, you will have time. Hope they are just as exciting as mine are (Very boring if you didnt see the sarcasm)
I am anxious to hear how the ipilumamab does for you. Please keep us posted and take good notes on your reactions for your research team.
Good luck!

Managing Your Time On the GMAT Verbal Section
June 7, 2010
|You should follow me on Twitter. While you're at it, take a moment to subscribe to GMAT Hacks via RSS or Email.
I can't remember the last time I worked with a student who naturally completed practice GMAT Verbal sections in exactly 75 minutes. Many people can breeze right through it, finishing twenty minutes early, while others can never fit all the necessary work into so little time.
Both approaches are dangerous. Obviously you want to complete all 41 questions; less obviously, you want to effectively use all of your allotted time. Unless you're getting every question right and finishing early, there's room for improvement. Like any other aspect of the test, you need a plan.
A Flexible Verbal Outline
Your plan, though, shouldn't be too rigid. Not every Reading Comprehension passage is of the same length and complexity, and some Sentence Correction questions are much more time-consuming than others. Let's look at some general guidelines for how long each type of problem should take.
Sentence Correction. You can expect to see about 16 SCs among the 41 Verbal questions. On average, you should spend about 1 Ľ minutes for each one. This will vary more than any other type of question on the test: if you immediately see the mistake in the sentence and spot the correct choice, a question might only take you twenty seconds. However, if the entire sentence is underlined and knowing the correct answer hinges on an obscure usage issue, you could easily spent two minutes puzzling it out. Both of those outcomes are perfectly acceptable, as long as your average time is near 1 Ľ minutes.
Critical Reasoning. There are 12 or 13 CR questions on each administration of the GMAT, and each one will require your focus for at least 90 to 120 seconds. Some will ask for much more. On average, each question should take about 2 ˝ minutes. CR questions are the easiest to rush through: it's common to feel like they are taking too long (even when you're right on pace!) and there are often trap answer choices that, on a quick scan, look perfect. On CR more than any other type of question, you'll benefit from an extra 20 or 30 seconds carefully spent analyzing two or three final answer choices.
Reading Comprehension. You'll see approximately 4 RC passages and 12 or 13 accompanying questions. Passages, on average, should take you about 3 minutes to read, while each question should require a little less than a minute to answer. Again, you'll have a lot of variance here: shorter passages may only take two minutes; a single difficult inference question may take two minutes. Again, what's important is the average; when you're practicing, watch out for the types of passages and questions that take you considerably longer. In future tips, I'll address how you can cut down the time it takes to get through certain types of thorny Reading Comprehension passages and questions.
Monitoring Your Progress
If you look at the clock during a GMAT Verbal section, the success of your time management strategy isn't nearly as clear as it is on the Math--because of the different types of questions, you don't know exactly where you should be, timewise, after, say, question #3.
However, because you'll always see the same distribution of questions, the differences will eventually even out. Setting aside those differences, each question should average a little more than 105 seconds, which means each set of 4 questions should take 7+ minutes. In other words, when you hit the halfway point of question #21, you should be 35-37 minutes in, with 38-40 minutes remaining. In blocks of 8-10 questions, you can monitor your progress just as effectively as you can on the Math section.
In future tips, I'll discuss specific methods you can use to slow down or speed up your work through various types of GMAT Verbal questions. In the meantime, keep using your timer for each practice session and see how close you can come to using your allotted time (but no more!) for 41 questions.

This morning, the author pointed to this tweet from the BBC about people comparing the notorious Trump to Rowling's fictional Harry Potter villain, Lord Voldemort.

In an Entertainment Weekly article from 2000, J.K. Rowling said Voldemort was "a raging psychopath, devoid of the normal human responses to other people's suffering, and there ARE people like that in the world."

IT security coordinators, sometimes known as information security analysts, advise, plan, design and coordinate security measures to protect clients' information and data from unauthorised access, deliberate attack, theft and corruption. They also implement controls to allow secure transmission of files and data across computer networks, such as the internet.
Security threats to information are varied but include: hacking; denial of service attacks (overloading servers with useless data to bring systems to a standstill); viruses, worms, Trojans; certain types of spyware; and social engineering - phishing (luring users into passing confidential details to spoof websites) and pharming (secretly redirecting users to fake websites by hijacking the genuine website address). They also include abuse of privileges by authorised users.Security coordinators use a range of software, hardware and procedures to combat threats and rectify breaches. Duties vary depending on the nature of the role and level of responsibility but include:
Security coordinators work for public service organisations, local authorities, government departments, financial institutions and software manufacturers. In larger organisations, this role may be distinct; in smaller companies, it is often combined with related duties, such as network engineering. Coordinators also work for specialist IT security consultancies.
Experienced coordinators are employed by the police, security services and specialist law firms to undertake forensic investigation of computer-based crimes.
IT security coordinators normally work 35 to 40 hours a week but may be on a call-out rota to deal with immediate out-of-hours problems.
The work is office based and, if employed by a consultancy or self-employed, travel to clients' premises will be required, so a driving licence is useful.
As an IT security coordinator, you should:
Recent surveys of the IT industry suggest that information security is a top priority for IT directors and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Rapid changes in technology, such as the expansion of wireless networks (WiFi) and mobile technologies has seen a corresponding evolution in the nature of security threats. Therefore, opportunities for security professionals are excellent.
Career progression routes include network management, project management and security consultancy. Currently, there is demand for a range of skills including security auditing, risk assessment, CLAS consultancy, technical installation, internet and email security, security awareness training, sales and marketing. For more information about trends in the IT sector, see e-skills UK below.
There are opportunities to work overseas.

A very interesting article about the Hassan Fathy village about 1 mile from my flats.
Housing for secretaries and tomb raiders - FT.com: Financial Times
New Gourna was begun near Luxor in 1946, with Egypt then still effectively under British rule. It was designed by one of the greatest architects of the modern era, Hassan Fathy (1900-89), to rehouse a community of light-fingered amateur archaeologists who had been stealthily stripping Luxor's tombs of their treasures.
Wary of losing their livelihoods, the residents – working-class people and with little interest in design – were initially reluctant to move. Fathy tried to persuade them with a new kind of architecture. Or rather, with a very old kind of architecture.
Fathy looked to the buildings in a traditional Egyptian village, an architecture of domes and courtyards, of cool arcades and thick walls sheltering shady rooms from the fierce heat. He began building not with concrete, which had become the default construction material of the age, but with mud-brick, the material used to build the first villages around the Nile at the beginning of civilisation.
When Fathy embarked on building the village there was no electricity or running water. The architect adopted the traditional Egyptian malqaf, or wind-catcher, a small chimney built on the roofs of houses to draw down a breeze into the heart of the house.
He also eschewed any ideas of modernist town planning, instead creating tight shaded alleys, giving houses small windows or no windows on south-facing walls and centring the structures around the courtyards that had traditionally formed the core of Arab houses.
The natural ventilation, the use of low-impact materials, the revival of traditional forms (particularly the beautiful domes and open-work grilles which gave even the smallest houses a sense of grandeur and symbolism) all contributed to making this a prototype in sustainable development. Its legacy lives on through the book that Fathy went on to write based on his experiments in New Gourna, Architecture for the Poor , which remains one of the great texts of 20th-century architecture.
New Gourna was not an unqualified success. The foundations proved inadequate, the mud-brick was occasionally unstable and residents altered many buildings, often for the worse. But it has survived as a real village and it continues to inspire architects across the world, especially on the fringes of developing cities.

Other News To Note
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals Inc., of Rockville, Md., said researchers found that a fragment of Tbeta4 has the ability to inhibit a type of liver cell responsible for fibrosis and scar formation by blocking the binding of AKT to actin. Those data make possible the development of a therapeutic that can specifically identify and target cells responsible for the excessive scarring seen in liver diseases such as cirrhosis, as well as potential pathologies of the lungs, kidneys and other organs.

New 'Doctor Who' Trailer!
It's a great day! Why? Because we have a new Doctor Who trailer! Yay!
Honestly, I'd just go ahead and watch it now before reading on because I'm going to dissect the hell of it.
Ok, first thing first. I will be recapping the new series so don't worry. I'm going to do everything in my power to make this show more popular here in America and that does include reporting on every little piece of news I can get my hands on, despite the fact that most of my coworkers are ignorant to the awesomeness of Who. But whatever, their loss and our gain.
Second thing – holy hell does this series look DARK. A smart youtuber commented (biggest oxymoron I've ever written) that the Doctor has been through a lot of dark hours, but I don't think he's been through one this dark with Steven Moffatt behind the wheel. Judging from this little trailer things are going to get CREEPY and it is going to be AWESOME. Amy looks like she gets in some fine messes and Rory will undoubtedly prove himself again. The Doctor actually grows a beard (which can only mean TROUBLE) and River Song says the Doctor will fall farther than he ever has. Also, Moffatt has assured us that this season will be tense with one hell of a cliffhanger in the middle. Gonna be absolutely splendid.
Third thing, and this is one of my favorite parts about the Doctor, is the lines. "I've been running my whole life. Now it's time for me to stop." That's just a brilliant line. The one thing the Doctor does a lot is, well, run. It's been commented on countless times but for him to say this? After everything Moffatt has promised? ACK! CAN-NOT-WAIT (say it like a Dalek). But the best line? The one that sent massive shivers down my back with seven little words? The one that Matt Smith delivered with such a minimalist approach that packed way more punch than had he screamed them at the top of his lungs? Right after the Silence threatens that he has killed hundreds of Time Lords, the Doctor drops this truth bomb:
"Fear me. I've killed all of them."
April 23rd folks. April 23rd.

Ukraine will seek a new price for Russian gas as the current price remains too high even after Moscow gave Kiev a hefty discount, the country's Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.
"We make it our aim to revise an agreement with Russia that is extremely unfavorouable for Ukraine and will repeatedly persuade our Russian colleagues of the need to do it," Azarov said at a government meeting.
He did not provide further details.
After President Viktor Yanukovych came to power earlier this year, Ukraine in April agreed a landmark deal to keep Russia's Black Sea Fleet based in Crimea at least until 2042 in exchange for a 30 percent discount on Russian gas exports to its neighbour.
Under the previous pro-Western administration in Ukraine, gas pricing had repeatedly been at the centre of disputes between the two countries.
In January 2009, haggling over gas issues led to energy supplies being turned off to several EU states in the midst of a bitterly cold winter.

A man who knew a little something about basketball used to live in a diminutive house in downtown Denver, less than a half mile from where the NCAA tournament was playing out the past three days.
Dr. James Naismith — who originated basketball, became the physical education director 110 years ago at the Denver YMCA and earned his medical title in Colorado — certainly would have appreciated how Georges Niang has advanced the game.
Allison Niang, who sat in the front row behind Iowa State's bench on Saturday afternoon, surely loves her son's effort, energy and élan — and the college degree he will get in a few weeks.
"It's been a great, long journey for us all these years," Allison said after Georges and the Cyclones defeated, first, Iona, then Little Rock on Saturday to advance to the sweetest of sixteens for the Niangs. "I'm so proud of what Georges has accomplished."
This is Niang's fourth season in Ames, Iowa. The first three ended in pain — one, literally. His freshman season, Iowa State lost in the second round. Last season, the Cyclones fell in the first round. When he was a sophomore, Georges couldn't play when the Cyclones reached the round of 16 because of a broken foot sustained in the tournament opener. "I could only watch then, and the guys kidded me about not earning the right to be there. This year I've definitely earned the right," he said after scoring 55 points, with 12 rebounds, in two games at The Can.
Little Rock coach Chris Beard said of Niang: "He's as good as advertised. He's going to play on TNT next year (in the NBA). He's a super player."
Niang dominated in Denver. Years ago in the tournament in the same building, we witnessed phenomenal rebounding performances by a collegian named Kenneth Faried. We know where he ended up. I told Allison the 6-foot-8 Niang could be drafted, too, by the Nuggets.
"Is that why you asked me if I enjoyed being in Denver this week?" Allison laughed. While in college, she met and married Sidy Niang, an emigrant from Senegal, but they separated when Georges was 5 and after father joined the U.S. Merchant Marine.
Niang could have turned turn pro following his junior year, but mom and son agreed he would return to finish what he had started. "Actually, when I came back, it wasn't much of a decision. What Iowa State has given me, I could never walk away from a place like that," Niang said.
Especially with that new, improved body.
Before the foot injury, Georges had been a power forward. Think Charles Barkley. "He got up in the 260s," Allison said. During the summer when he went home to suburban Boston, Georges became a fitness freak. While he was dropping body fat and 40 pounds, his mother got into the act. She lost 20 pounds working out alongside him. Now, both are in excellent shape. "It was a collective effort," he said Saturday. "My mom had sacrificed her happiness to go along with me. I can't thank her enough. She's my rock, my backbone."
Led by Niang, the Cyclones cruised past Iona by 13 and Little Rock by 17. In a tournament that has seen more weird-and-wacky endings than "Cloverfield" and "10 Cloverfield Lane," Iowa State was eating pork tenderloin. "We weren't favored in either game," said coach Steve Prohm, in his first year at Iowa State.
Well, Coach, you were a No. 4 seed. But top seeds have been spit out all over the floor during March Preposterous.
Niang was having none of that, though. "Georges is a special person," his coach said. "I think he's a huge part of the resurgence, the renaissance of Iowa State basketball. He's the winningest person in school history. He just represents the game the right way. The last two games, he's been unbelievable."
Georges obviously received a standing ovation when introduced at his last home game. But, get this: In his final appearance at Kansas, Georges also was given a standing O after the game.
"I was there, and those Kansas fans were terrific to him," Allison said. "He was embarrassed because he didn't want to take away from the Kansas seniors' night."
Georges was the class president in high school, the classy presence at Iowa State.
On the floor in his college career, he transformed from power forward to powerful guard. In the first half against Little Rock, he would dribble outside the arc and touch his right elbow. He was calling his own play. In five trips, he got nine points — and ended up making 11-of-18 shots, 3-of-3 beyond that arc.
This year Georges Niang has been a candidate for the Naismith award.
Figures, given how he played the past two games down the street from where the good doctor who invented basketball once lived.

It is a good clock... the person I'm selling this for paid 600.00 for it. It measures 19 1/2" long and 8 1/2" tall in the middle.

DISCOUNT ALERT! Now through December 20th, 2013 get 10% off your holiday order by mentioning this post!
Yay! It is the second to last day of holiday sugar cookies! Last year, my Mom found an adorable collar for my dog. It is complete with jingle bells on it which is very convenient in determining where she is located in the house.
My dog loves hiding under beds and chairs and sometimes is impossible to find. However, now that she is equipped with her jingling holiday collar we always know where she is.
Last year I did not think I would get sick of the jingling at all because it was just so darn cute, but then around March I was ready to stop the jingling occurring in the middle of the night.
I must have forgotten why I took off the collar because I am once again thinking I will be leaving this collar on for good... or maybe it is the sound of bells during Christmas time that I enjoy so much. Either way, this time of year is perfect for some jingle and these cookies bring the jingle but don't wake you up in the middle of the night like my dog's bells! Enjoy!
It is not too late to order your pastries for Christmas! Contact me by December 21 for your Christmas dessert!
If you would like to order from Pastry Shells, contact me at email@example.com.

Think You Know About Self-Publishing? Think Again
The ad promised riches.
All I had to do was purchase their product to learn the secrets of self-publishing, and the money would start rolling in.
Fortunately for me, I'd bought enough snake oil over the years from ads that promised I could rub away that ugly scratch on my car's fender, or let a little robot clean my apartment while I relaxed. Which is an excellent idea—if only it worked. The truth is there is no magic bullet, and ads that promise one are more than misleading, they're deceiving.
There's nothing more misleading than all the information that's out there about self-publishing. If you are a writer interested in self-publishing, everywhere you turn you're hearing conflicting information: Self-publishing is hard, self-publishing is easy, self-published authors don't make any money. Use Scrivener, don't use Scrivener. It's enough to make you go batty.

Wildfire - Lincolnshire Ratings and Reviews
We have celebrated our anniversary so many times at wildfire. And we attend wildfire on none special occasions as well. Amanda our waitress really made the night special for us. She was exceptional, courteous, efficient, and just one pleasant person. We are grateful Amanda was our waitress that evening.
The food was great, however because we had the worst waiter, it took forever to get. My gluten free bun was cold. The food took forever but was tasty. Desserts took at least 20 minutes to get to us. The waiter ruined the surprise to my son and mentioned his birthday. From the beginning this waiter was the worst. Intrusive and annoying.
Our server was fantastic - very attentive and helpful, the food was very good - though our baked potatoes were just slightly under done but overall the meal was terrific. We liked the option of having a 1/2 size dessert to share as well. And we'd love is creme brulee was on the dessert menu regularly (it wasn't the night we were there).
We came for a leisurely lunch on a Friday. We are frequent diners at Wildfire. It is one of our favorites restaurants. The gluten free options are fantastic! Our server (I wish I had gotten her name) was just great. But... this was the second time at lunch recently that the timing by the kitchen was way off. It took over 30 min to get our apps then our entrees arrived about 5 min later. The first time this happened a few weeks ago we thought it was just one of those days, but same issue, twice in a row is worth a mention. Other kitchen errors this visit included my dressing not being served on the side with my salad and a long brown hair in my husbands mashed potatoes. We hope that the management reads these reviews and takes note.
5 of us met for lunch, and I believe everyone was quite pleased with their meal choice. When I first made the reservation, I specified a quiet area because 3 of us are hard of hearing. When we arrived, the music was loud, and we did ask for it to be turned down, and it was turned down a little. This, I feel, is a problem in many restaurants. I have food allergies, so the wait staff pays attention to that. I believe our server was Max, and he was excellent. This was not my first time there, dining in, and have always had very good food. When I worked in the area, I enjoyed carry- out lunch many times. One of the major things I really appreciate that Wildfire has done, is when they give you your receipt, the suggested tip amounts in various percentages is there. Most restaurants provide that on their receipt, however Wildfire does it correctly. The tip percentage is based on the sub total, not including the tax. I do not pay a tip on tax, and I've even written that on prior receipts. Overall, the music was too loud, but great food, and great service - I'll definitely go back.
We went to wildfire for the Thursday night special dinner—roast duck. Although we arrived by 7pm, the "special" was already unavailable. Our server told us that only 15 duck dinners were available that evening. Our second choice, the turkey burgers, took over an hour to be served. The restaurant offered us nothing in compensation.
We were seated near the kitchen, the already noisiness was even more noisy. We asked to be seated in another area, that was no problem. Flatware was dirty--water spots. Not a place to care on a conversation, background music and energy in the room made that difficult. Had lamb chops, very good.
A friend and I were going to see a show at the Marriott Lincolnshire and decided to do Wildfire for dinner beforehand. Since the show was at 8, I made the reservation for 6:15 (they didn't have 6 available), which I figured would give us plenty of time since the theatre is only about 5 minutes away. Well, despite getting there at 6:15 on the dot, we did not get seated until after 6:30, which basically meant no time for appetizers or desert, which is too bad, because having been at other Wildfire locations, I know that their deserts are great. To speed things up, we ordered an appetizer as a side dish with the meal and that was a good compromise. I had the NY Strip and my friend had the Porterhouse, and they were both excellent. Our appetizer side was the bacon wrapped scallops, which were also fantastic. We would have loved to stay for dessert, but since we finished eating around 7:30, figured we did not have the time, so we got the check and left. Our waiter was very professional, when we told him we were in a bit of a hurry, he made sure to bring everything out quickly, yet we never felt rushed. The pacing of the meal was great, it's just too bad we couldn't have been seated at the time we had the reservation for. I'll definitely go back but probably not as a pre-theatre dinner.
Disappointed. Have dined at Wildfire many times but this one was worst. Caesar salad with watery, poor tasting dressing. My fish was over-cooked. Dining partner sent food back to be re-done: "blackened" preparation had no taste. Second try was better. Server inattentive at times, condescending at others. Apparently got annoyed with us, never offered dessert menu. Lots of other steak and seafood options in the area. I will choose others next time.
The constant back and forth with staff and carry out is a lot. It is very loud also. This use to be one of my favorite places to eat either I don't recall all of this or it has changed a lot. Food was over cooked but tasted good. The manager was very accommodating.
We dine here very often because it is always a good time.
The food is good and the service is good and reasonably price for this type of restaurant.
Baked Onion soup, shrimp and crab bisque are excellent, and my choices for dinner our salmon and ribs. Don't forget the wildfire chopped salad.
You could choose apple pie or key lime pie and won't be disappointed.
I had been to this restaurant for my b-day 3 years in a row, with friends and family one time and with family only the other times. I was never disappointed with the quality of food, services and friendliness of personnel. I gladly recomment it to all friends and co-workers.
Wildifre is one of our favorites and we carry out frequently. We were disappointed that our service was subpar while we celebrated our anniversary. Our server disappeared for periods of time and was not attentive. Another server took care of us for the first 20-25 minutes of our dinner. The food is always great and despite the poor service, we will be back for carry out.
I do not eat pork chops very often as too often these taste 'gamey' to me, really doesn't matter where I order them, or even if I make them at home. However, am in love with the mushroom crusted pork chops on the Wildfire menu. They are just fantastic and never gamey--highly recommend this dish, better than the steaks! Wildfire has maintained a consistency and quality of food for many, many years which is why I always returned to it again and again.
Won't go back again. Use to go regularly but not any more. The food quality has gone down. It's loud and tables are cramped too close together. For the 3rd visit in a row they were out of their daily special by 6:30pm. One person in our party got the scallops and they did not taste fresh. There are better Lettece Entertain You options for us to start using.
Saturday night was very crowded, very noisy, a lot of commotion, even with reservations waited 30 min. Had,steaks which were good but not great and very expensive. Not a good date place most tables were large not easy to connect with other person. Bill for 2 with 3 glass of wine and one desert and 2 steaks and tip was $180. This was the most expensive date price this year and it didn't feel good as other places I have. Been to. Not bad, but not as good as its reputation, you will definefely find better along Milwaukee Ave.
So bad it could have been from a movie. 30 minute wait with an 8:15 PM reservation for a table for 2, not 6 or 12, but 2. Comped an appetizer. Waiter took our order and came back once to say the food was almost ready - but it wasn't . Waited 45 minutes for a hamburger and a salad. The fries were disgusting greasy and limp. Yuk. Manager said it would be no charge, but not the most pleasant way to spend two hours!

Breaking: News outlets confirm rumors that Trump plans to dismantle protections for Bears Ears. Give today to fight for our National Monuments.

The Robert Marshall Award is The Wilderness Society's highest honor presented to a private citizen who has devoted long-term service and had a notable influence on conservation and the fostering of an American land ethic.

Gujarati prints are famous for their fine mirror work. The small, big, round and diamond mirrors crafted finely on a variety of fabrics lend a blingy touch to ensembles. During the 9-day Dandiya season, people show off their Gujarati prints.
The venue gets overflooded with blingy, shimmery and shiny looks. We understand your love for these prints and that is why today we are going to list down 7 mirror work outfits that you can add to your Garba/ Dandiya wardrobe.
From a simple blouse to saree to lehenga, we have listed everything that you can flaunt this festive season...
1. A Mirrorwork Blouse: Flaunt a blingy blouse with a sheer insert. Make it peppy by adding a mirror work lace around the neckline. The interesting thing with such blouses is, you can wear them on almost every solid colour lehenga or saree.
2. Mirror work blouse & Maxi Skirt: Go for a monochrome traditional outfit. Add a simple maxi skirt. Pick a bright colour for this. To work around the Gujarati print, add mirror work kurti on the top. Steal the pattern style from Deepika here...
3. Mirror work Suit: Keep it simple and traditional with a mirror work suit. If you love bright hues like yellow and orange, then it's a perfect takeaway for you. A mirror work anarkali with a chudidar salwar is just what you need to jazz up roue lookbook.
4. Mirror work Kurti: So far we have only talked about tiny mirror work, but if you fancy this Gujarati print, you can go for big mirror sizes too. Try big mirrors kurti with a huge flare. Match it with a patitala salwar.
5. Mirror work Lehenga Skirt: Instead of going for kurti, you can go for a maxi skirt for this Gujarati print. Try and keep one of the two halves simple. If you are going for heavy mirror work skirt then keep the top simple.
6. Mirror work Saree: At last, try the traditional and more convenient way to flaunt your love for this Gujarati design -- a saree. A two-toned saree with a mirrored pallu or hem is just what you need to show off your love for the festival season.
7. Mirror work Bronze Lehenga: Go for separates with a simple and elegant look. Add a heavy mirror work choli but keep the skirt simple with diamond shaped mirror work.

Piano - Intermediate
Hymn Tunes of the British Isles. Composed by Penny Rodriguez. Sacred. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LX.70-1591L).
Item Number: LX.70-1591L
Incorporating ten traditional hymn tunes from the British Isles, Penny Rodriguez lends her personal pianistic style to nine fresh settings for the church pianist. Though well crafted and fully realized, these appealing vignettes have an improvisatory nature and allow ample latitude for the performer to apply a personal interpretive imprint. The ultimate result, however, is a musically satisfying presentation of some of the most beloved melodies from the rich heritage of hymnody from Great Britain. Moderately easy to medium difficulty.

At Harris Boys' Academy East Dulwich we understand how important good literacy is for your son's development and life choices.
Developing skills in literacy is about learning to use language to express, explore and communicate our thoughts, ideas and feelings with others. We do this through speaking, listening, reading and writing, and getting better at literacy means making progress in each of these areas.
We owe it to our students to give them the very best literacy skills in order to improve their chances in life, and to enable them to succeed in whatever path they choose.
We adopt a cross-curricular focus to promoting good literacy amongst our pupils and staff. We believe that promoting literacy is a whole academy responsibility and not just that of the English department. We also invite you to join us in developing your son's literacy at home.
Reading and literacy skills are the key to learning and pleasure. They open doors and allow our students to access all aspects of the curriculum, whilst improving oracy, communication and problem-solving skills.
Download our literacy policy from our Teaching and Learning page. Our literacy impact report can be downloaded from our Equalities and Additional Intervention page.
Drop Everything and Read
At the start of the school day, every student and member of staff will stop what they are doing and read for 20 minutes. It's called Drop Everything and Read time.
"For a few minutes after tutor time the whole Academy, staff as well as students, will drop everything and read to encourage reading for pleasure," said Principal Chris Everitt, who has also created a new Student Reading Zone (pictured).
Rise and Read programme
Students who need extra support with reading will have the chance to read aloud to a trained adult at 7.30am before school, where they will get a free breakfast.
The 'Rise and Read' programme gives student the chance to read aloud to a trained member of staff, who can support them and help them develop their confidence, communication, reading age and vocabulary.
Students may come in every morning or just selected mornings depending on their needs and requirements. If they attend ten sessions they will receive a Gentleman Card which will give them a free lunch and exclusive access to the VIP table.
Senior staff read aloud
Every member of the senior leadership team reads to students in tutor group time to emphasise the importance of reading and help promote literacy across the Academy.
"I want the senior leadership team to be role models when it comes to reading," says Mr Everitt. "That's why we've started a system where the senior team, including me, goes into tutor groups regularly to read to the boys for 20 minutes."
Kieran from Year 7 explains why he likes the sessions. "I like that everyone is listening to the story and I like the way Mr Everitt reads it confidently, and he doesn't just read it he asks questions about the characters and what we think it going to happen."

More good times from World's Finest #17:
Although it would be years before Oliver actually confirmed the root of the problem, he became suspicious when Roy started forgetting to wear pants....
Waitasec.... if the legend of Robin Hood isn't true, then he didn't shoot that arrow. So.... why is it valuable?
A great ad for exploiting children....
"Kids will do anything for a Baby Ruth?" Who are they marketing to here? I was going to make a "remember, kids, strangers have the best candy" joke but it seems like that might be in poor taste. That's just a really weird selling point.
See you tomorrow!

The guy on the end isn't wearing a shirt. Maybe its strip target shooting.

I have this very valuable arrow from the 10th C. Please replace the goose feathers which have rotted off, and the shaft has split, so replace that, and the arrow head is rusted so I need a new one of them too.

All this time, I thought BTO referred to Bachman Turner Overdrive! Who knew Big Time Operator meant sweat-shop time for the kiddies.
Always educational, CMNS, thanks for your insight.
btw, I think allowing Allergy to whittle towards his crotch would be a grand way of eliminating his gene pool.

By habit I am a procrastinator. In college and even grad school all my papers were written hours before they were due. My work wasn't as thorough as my peers who spent weeks on their assignments, but I always made my deadlines. As an adult my procrastination has spilled over into how I plan for my children. Here we are at the end of summer and I feel as though we haven't done anything on "the list."
Last April I pictured this awesome summer where every day was the best-day-ever. This would be the summer we got to know the staff at the batting cages and mini golf park. We'd take the canoe out. There would be road trips and amusement parks. The backyard would become a drive-in movie theater or a campground. We've done zero of these things.
True it has been a good summer, but some of the best days have been the last two in our effort to squeeze the last drops out of summer. This weekend I told the school year "just hang on I am wrapping up summer right now."
This past weekend was a whirlwind of adventure. We went to the park, had a picnic, walked to the beach, knocked on neighbors doors, set up the sprinkler, went to a ball game, played with glow sticks, and collected seeds from the flowers. I was also supposed to make minecraft crispy treats but something had to go.
As I check off the list I remember this time last year. Late August with the threat of the approaching school year and end of summer as we knew it. In a last minute panic I spent the entire day catering to the wackiest and zaniest ideas the kids could come up with. We made costumes and took a hike through the woods. When I look back on my memories of summers past, these are the halcyon days I remember.
So yes I am a procrastinator, but I'm getting better and I never gave up. I hope when the kids look back the remember these last days of summer as I do, so full of joy that come April we will start day dreaming of all the things we will do…next summer.

When it comes to installing a great entertainment system in your home, there are plenty of options to choose from to customize your space into one where you can fully enjoy a superior visual and audio experience. An integral part of this space is a TV stand, a place where you can house several important components of your entertainment system.
There are many different aspects to choosing a good TV stand, including the size, strength, design and structure of the item in question; these all play a role in how well the furniture will do its job and fit into your room.
There are two basic types of TV stand on the market today, each of which has a distinctive design and structure which set sit apart from the other; these are the floor and wall mounted TV stands. The former is the type of stand that we are all familiar with, one that is placed on the floor and supports a standing TV screen and other equipment.
The wall mounted stand is different in that it is attached solely to the wall. This can consist of a shelf-like design which holds a regular standing television monitor, or one where the TV itself is slotted into place and does not "stand" on anything. Both of these have their advantages and flaws, which will be explored below.
Firstly, the wall mounted stand is widely recognized as being one of the most stylish ways to display your TV monitor. Fixed entirely to the wall, this makes for a very contemporary look that is both sleek and minimalist, and therefore perfect for the modern home.
Many of these types of stands are actually deceptively complex however, and will have features such as hidden areas to tidy away cables, as well as plenty of space for equipment such as games consoles, DVD players or Free view boxes. Just remember, if you have a lot of equipment, make sure that your stand has enough room for them.
You should also be aware that this kind of stand must be strong enough to hold the TV and other equipment that you intend to be placing on it. All of the these items will have a weight limit, and you should be careful to stay well within this limit in order to protect you and your family from accidents as well as stop the equipment from being broken.
The alternative option is the floor TV stand, which has its own distinct benefits too. One of these is that they often come in a much wider range of styles than the wall mounted variety. From oak TV stands to glossy black ones, the scope for different shapes and styles is virtually limitless, whereas wall designs generally are limited due to structural restrictions.
Whereas many wall stands are contemporary, floor stands can be either contemporary or traditional, making them suitable for any type of interior space. Mahogany and oak TV stands are two great examples of how traditional materials can be used in a floor stand, whereas they are rarely seen in wall mounted stands.
In addition to this, floor TV stands generally have a larger amount of space to play with, leaving enough room for all of your equipment, including consoles, Freeview or Sky boxes, DVDs, DVD players and much more. They can also hold a great deal more weight than wall mounted stands.
The downside is, of course, that a wall stand will take up far less space than a floor stand. For this reason, the former may be a good choice for those with less room to work with.
With advantages and disadvantages to both, your choice of a floor or a wall television on your unique needs and preferences. Whether you opt for a stylish minimalist wall TV stand or a beautiful oak TV stand, you are sure to find something that suits your tastes perfectly on the market today.
