Google problems

For some reason this week google has been really messed up. Since Monday at about 4pm every day my ads just stop. After 4 days Google support answered that is was probably because my daily budget was set too low. Well their budget is WAY off target, but I changed everything to $1000 even though it's not even close to what I would spend. It was still happening after the change, yesterday at 4pm all ads stopped. I went in and tried the budget at $10,000 a day and everything screeched to a halt. I had no impressions at all, nothing. So this morning I changed all the campaigns back to their recommended budget, but still nothing.
Has anyone ever encountered this? Have they just shut me down and I just don't know it yet? I have no idea why, my ads are all in compliance and they have a valid credit card for billing. I just don't understand (and I'm still not getting answers from Google support). I'm new at this (only been a few months), but I think I know enough to get around. Any solutions out there?
Thanks in advance

You say you're new at this, but are able to afford a budget of $10,000 a day?
I must be doing something wrong then, because I been doing this for more than five years and I don't know what to say.

No, what I said is that Google is telling me that my daily budget has been exceeded. I had my campains set to $100 a day, though I only spend about $10-15 a day at the most. It's not that I would even imagined I could do $100 a day... it's what they MADE me put in. When I run the 'recommend budget' as the adwords support told me to, it said recommended at $2500 a day. I can't imagine why this is happening? Something is definitely wrong with either google or at least my account is corrupted. There's nothing I can do about it. I even tried starting a new whole account today and start over from scratch (I don't have that many ads)... but it wouldn't let me. It says that my keywords don't exist and I'm over my daily budget. Support says my account is fine, but obviously if my ads are not running, there is a problem.
I guess I'll just have to chalk it up to computer problems and advertise elsewhere.

Perhaps Google has lost some highly experienced programmers and the new
replacement "credentials" are just flailing away trying to understand the Google system.
Somewhere I read an opinion that software is the hardest thing Mankind has ever attempted.

Saw the same thing here.
There's something wrong with their budget prediction model for sure.
March 7th, 2005, 11:41 AM #6Hi kristinacy,
Sorry You're having trouble... I wouldn't go over their recommend daily amount You may confuse them or something... Are You sure Your bids a high enough to compete with Your competitors?... I was having that problem until I gave it a little bump to get my ad up to where it could be seen... Becareful with that credit card though.
Hope You get it, and Love You,

Apparently there is a problem with the "New and Improved" Google billing system. Please don't try this (because it will shut your ads down completely), but when you go in to change a credit card, which I did on Friday, it declines EVERY credit card... no matter what you put in... and shuts you don't completely. A totally wasted weekend in Google world. I'm not thrilled about this, to say the least... but there is nothing I can do. They say they are 'working on it'. Just don't change your credit cards or budgeting or you'll be in the same boat as me and many others.

Wow! This weekend I finally bit the bullet and set up my first adwords campaign since my traffic has been so dismal lately. I guess this must not be affecting new credit cards because my new account set up just fine.

That makes sense, if google couldn't charge new cards then you won't have a balance in the first place to draw from. We are investigating our google account also.

I have had 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' on my shelf for ages! I know it has got amazing reviews, and it has been highly recommended to me numerous times, so I have every intention of reading it soon!
I saw 'A Court of Mist and Fury' cheap in a store, and thought I would pick it up. I have a feeling that I'm going to love this series, so I'm very happy to have both books. The covers of both these books are so pretty. ACOMAF is amazing! When I look at it in front of me, I love the deep blue cover.
I have quite high expectations of this series, so I really hope that it lives up to those expectations. Hopefully I will be able to start this series before the end of 2016.
If you have read either of these books, what do you think? Did they meet your expectations?

Athens-Clarke County police said a 58-year-old Auburn man was barred from the CVS pharmacy on Oglethorpe Avenue bon Sunday night because he was making customers and employees uncomfortable.
A store supervisor reported that the man hung around the store for about 12 hours, staring at and "creeping out" customers, according to police. A store supervisor called police at about 11:25 p.m. to report the man because she was worried about leaving behind a younger woman who supervised the midnight shift, police said.
An officer barred the man from the store for two years, but he walked away without signing the barring notice, police said.

While browsing through the Milan Maternity store, the first shirt that jumped out to me was the Lauretta top. How cute are those buttons on the sleeves? I knew I had to have it. So, naturally, it was the first top I ordered from the Milan Maternity site, and I'd love to share here just why I love it so much more now that I own it.
I've compiled a list of important features in maternity/nursingwear and organized my review with those guidelines in mind below:
- Style: This section is an obvious win just by looking at the Lauretta top above. Just because you are trying to fit a pregnant body doesn't mean you need to wear a tent. And the Lauretta top oozes with trendy fall/winter fashion to me. I picture it with a pair of cute jeans, a pair of boots, a printed scarf, and a cup of hot chocolate on a coolday. Perfection.
- Comfort: I border on being size medium or large in different brands, so it is always a gamble on where I'll fall in a new brand. I ordered this top in a medium, and was second guessing my choice when I saw how small it looked in the box. However, once I put the top on, it was completely stretchy and oh-so-comfortable. I wore this for the first time while pregnant through a full day of work, chasing after little man, errands and grocery shopping, and even giving my dogs a bath, and it still felt comfortably stretchy without becoming loose or baggy, like so many other maternity shirts of different brands. When I read in the item description for the top that you can wear this AFTER you have the baby, I was questioning just how nice the shirt would look at that point. But I can tell you right now after wearing it, this is 100% a shirt I am still wearing now that little lady is here. It has enough stretch to make it look like a normal, ruched shirt, even at the end of the day.
- Modesty: (Yes, this is a feature I look for!) Most maternity tops I have from my first pregnancy were not designed with increased chest size in mind. I constantly felt like I was either showing too much or looking like a nun, with no in between. The Lauretta top does a wonderful job of keeping everything in the right place and being modest while still looking young. A+ in this category!
- Nursing: Since I was still nursing my toddler for a portion of my pregnancy, the nursing access feature was one I was able to try while pregnant as well as now after having little lady. I also own a few nursing tops from little man, and let me tell you- this top is WAY easier and more convenient than anything I have! The cowl neckline lifts up and the lower seam of the neckline folds down (you can see the seam in the picture above) in order to give you discreet nursing coverage. My main problem with most nursing tops is that the panels/openings try to be so discreet that there is too much fabric, and it interferes with baby's nursing. None of that problem here, as the stretchy fabric moved away where I wanted it to, and stayed put without me constantly having to mess with it while little man was nursing. Excellent!
Overall, the Lauretta top is high on my list of maternity/nursing shirts, and probably the number one shirt in my closet that I am reaching for after I had little lady.

"Why didn't anyone tell me the Celtics were playing the Hawks tonight?" said the man who works for the Celtics broadcast partner.
It is of little consequence, who did or did not know the team's opponent this Thursday. The point is "Mike Bibby said that?" should immediately echo in the minds of fans every time the Atlanta guard pops up on their television. Why, you ask?
Remember when the Celtics couldn't win on the road in the 2008 playoffs? Remember when the Hawks thought they were something? Remember when Mike Bibby called the Garden faithful "bandwagon fans"? The reaction of Kendrick Perkins -- 40-second mark, above -- is one of his Top 5 moments in Boston:
"Mike Bibby said that? I mean, you come off a 2-for-10 night shooting you would say something like that, too."
But wait, there's more. Hosting Boston, Atlanta finally had a full house for its playoff games.
"It's about time, huh? It take for us to go down there to pack their house."
Again, Boom.

Defence earned them a 1-0 State of Origin series lead.
Now Queensland believe it is time to show what they do best.
The Maroons have vowed to unleash their record-setting attacking weapons to snuff out a NSW ambush in Wednesday's Origin II in Brisbane.
Queensland captain Cameron Smith believes the Maroons have not been given sufficient credit for their powerhouse defensive in effort in Origin I's 6-4 win in Sydney.
"I think they had plenty of points in them in game one, we just defended really well," said Smith.
"I don't think there has been a lot of credit to our side the way we defended.
"They had 60 per cent of possession and we still managed to win the game."
Smith – in his record 37th Origin – made 51 tackles in game one, boosting his overall tally for Queensland to 1379 – more than 500 ahead of the next player, Maroons' Gary Larson (813).
Smith said the stage was now set for Queensland to cut loose with ball in hand in Brisbane.
"It's different conditions in Brisbane, it's more suitable for a more expansive style of footy so we will have to play better," Smith said.
"But I think we have a few more points in us too."
NSW don't have to be reminded of what is coming.
The Maroons won the last game played at Suncorp Stadium 52-6.
Queensland have two of the most lethal try scorers in Origin history.
Greg Inglis (17) tops the list of most Origin tries with fullback Darius Boyd (16) close behind.
Both have individually scored more Origin tries than the entire NSW team combined (15).
"I think you have to play to your strengths, play up-tempo footy," Queensland forward Jacob Lillyman said.
"I am sure playing fast will be at the top of the list – there is a lot of skill in this team."
Halfback Cooper Cronk said the Maroons were ready to throw the ball around in game two.
"We did our review (of Origin I) and the positive that came out of it was the effort defensively, our defence saved us," he said.
"We didn't have much ball in that second half – in attack we can definitely play more football."
Not that Queensland were taking a win for granted in Origin II.
"No doubt NSW will get better," he said.
"Look at last year in game two they played like the series was on the line which it was, they outplayed us and out-muscled us.
"There will be a similar mentality."

In brief: Direct meat sales idea is runner-up
with their idea of selling pork and dairy products direct to the customer, pig and dairy farmers Michael and Elaine Rogers were runners-up in the Clare Farm Ideas competition.
The Whitegate, Co Clare, couple run a 250-sow unit and Michael fattens all his own pigs amounting to 4,500 pigs a year. Like many farmers he has been continuously irritated by the price differential between what he was getting for his product and the supermarket price. The amount of imported produce on the shelves was also a source of annoyance.
Having first approached a local abattoir to kill a pig for his own use, Michael was so impressed with the taste difference he believed he could really add to his income by selling his pork and bacon direct. Up to now he has just sold a small number of pigs but he is hopeful of eventually selling all his pigmeat direct to the consumer. At present, a full pig costs €325-375, depending on its size, weight and customer preferences.
Mower concept cuts it with best
THOMAS Bonfield, from Coolmuinga, Cooraclare, Co Clare, also secured a runner- up position for his invention of a mower for trimming undergrowth under wire fencing.
The suckler farmer has always shown creative flair, developing his ideas in his farm workshop. He learned his skills from his father, who was also behind various practical farm inventions.
Thomas has developed a superb working prototype of a machine that will trim fast and efficiently under fence wire. The current way of doing this -- if it gets done at all -- is time consuming, awkward and usually involves reversing in with a topper or using a hedge trimmer.
He is currently in the patenting process and intends to have his 'Slide Side Mower' manufactured and sold under licence.

Jesse and Charles run Toronto Distillery Limited Co., a small start up distillery based out of the Junction in Toronto, ON. We knew immediately that we had met kindred spirits. Their product, Ontario Organic Wheat Spirits, is not only incredibly refined and delicious they are all about sourcing high quality and local ingredients, making something really special in small batches.
They took one of our handmade cotton and hemp mix business cards that we had letterpress printed and thought it would be a perfect match for their bottles and in keeping with the belief to support local, independent businesses. We sourced Ontario hemp fibre, soaked, beat and hand pulled each sheet for their neck tags. We designed the front, inside and back of the tags, illustrating their distiller and cocktail recipe. Each tag was hand printed on a letterpress at Graven Feather , our Artscape neighbour. All 2000 labels are finished- cutting, hole punching and strung with hemp cord at Paperhouse Studio with the help of our beloved interns and volunteers. We completed the first run of 1000 labels to help launch the first batch of Toronto Distillery's Ontario Organic Wheat Spirit for the LCBO in September 2013. It was so popular that we just finished batch #2 – 2000 bottles in Feburary 2014. Buy straight from these guys here. Or check out the LCBO availability here. We have been working with these guys since then and it has been an amazing experience, a fun filled deliciously boozy collaboration of independent businesses making local products. We look forward to more yumminess (maybe an Organic Beet Spirit?) coming out next year! Stay on the look out for more colourful tags!

Three possible answers. Students put the golf tee in the hole of the answer they think is correct. They pull up the card. If it comes out, the answer is correct. (Correct answer has bottom of hole cut out)
7th grade—Regular verbs
8th grade—Ir, Ir + a + place, Ir + a + infinitive
Laminated worksheets with answer sheets. Students check answers before moving on to the following station.
Students have sentences with a missing verb. They have to match the verb to the sentence. In order to self-check, you can see the back of the cards at the top of the picture. Students know answer are correct when the stick on the back matches up.
7th grade (shown) Classroom picture
8th grade Community picture
Students pick an item card (or a place in the community for 8th grade) and a preposition card. They are to form a sentence using that item (or place) and the preposition. Once students take turns sharing sentences, students had to write 3 sentences of their own based on the picture.
7th grade Greetings and common expressions and questions
8th grade Clothing/Store
Played like a regular board game. Laminated bright paper has the answer key and game directions.
7th grade: Subject pronouns (Create the subject pronouns chart and match the English meanings to the Spanish pronouns)
8th grade: Comparative and Superlative formulas
(put formulas in order)
I didn't get a picture of this for some reason. After students completed the manipulative exercises, they completed a worksheet and then checked their answers.
7th and 8th: Food
Students had to match the word to the correct sentence. Students self-check answers to make sure that the sticker on the back matches up.
7th and 8th: Irregular verbs (two different games)
Students conjugate verbs (regulars and irregulars). I took this from an old worksheet I had titled "La rana Lucas" and changed the verbs to fit my needs. (Bright green sheet had answer key and directions)
7th grade: Classroom items and Definite and Indefinite Articles
8th grade: Question words/Expressions
This is a game I made up. Students have a stack of 50 cards. They pick two cards at a time and put them face down. They turn them face up one at a time. If they answer correctly, they keep the card. If they answer incorrectly, student passes that card (and any other card that is still face down) to the team player to his/her right.
7th grade: Ser + adjectives
8th grade: Bedroom/House/Chores
I took the regular scattersquares idea and made it extreme! I bought two big blank calendars from Learning How and made a puzzle out of it. Puzzle was 6 x 7. The best part was actually having space to do more than just vocabulary words.
This was a really cool experience for me as a teacher. Students were all actively engaged and reviewing and having fun! I loved watching them experience all of the different activities. I can't wait to make more stations!
The favorites?
Irregular verbs game, the Keep-a-card/Take-a-Card game, Pick-an-answer and the big scattersquares!

Well, that's the link I used earlier to post a question about the possible use of CJ links to overwrite our cookies on eBay. And I just logged into check to see if there's a response (not yet) and was able to get in. That was, of course, after many attempts and getting a dozen different types of errors. You may just have to wait until they get everything worked out on their end, or keep trying and maybe you'll luck out as I guess I did...

Current and future Bruins continued to shine in international competition Monday.
Bruins alternate captain Patrice Bergeron had a goal and three assists to help Canada win the Spengler Cup championship. Bergeron and Tyler Seguin both had been playing in Switzerland for HC Lugano and HC Biel respectively, before being reunited as linemates for Hockey Canada at the Spengler Cup. Bergeron finished the tournament with a goal and four assists while Seguin had a goal and an assist. Both players will return to North America in the hopes that the NHL will open for business in January.
In the World Junior Championships, the Bruins' first-round picks from the last two NHL drafts, defenseman Dougie Hamilton and goalie Malcolm Subban, came up big and helped Canada reach the semifinals with a 4-1 win over defending champion Russia. Hamilton scored the first goal of the game on a five-minute power play and Subban made 21 saves to hold the host Russians at bay and keep the home crowd silent in Ufa, Russia. Hamilton now has a goal and an assist in four games while Subban has won all four games for Canada.

Review by reading_fox
Contrived. But enjoyably so. This, the conclusion to the trilogy, manages to work better than the previous volume Well of Assension even though it maintains the seriousness, and still lacks the sparks from Mistborn.There isn't a vast amount of plot really - Vin and Eland now have two problems left to deal with: the ending of the world - increasing ashfall reducing the viability of all the cities, and some lingering concerns over the entity Ruin, that they accidently released in the last book. The plight of the cities is their chief concern so they travel a bit around the continent looking for more storage caverns created by the ex-Lord Ruler, and persuading local nobles to move their populations towards the centre, where there is most sunlight, and least ash. In dribs and drabs, small clues to come to light and Brandon does a very good job of explaining away everything that has happened in the previous books that wasn't exactly clear. Mostly he does this by inventing a third type of metallic power called hematology. It's a bit "messy" compared to the others. This darker and deeper moral edge makes the fight scenes come as somewhat light relief – but they still have the wonderfully accurate physics model underlying them.What we get instead of plot is a lot of characterisation, Spook, Sazed and Vin, and the kandra especially, which is great. There are also a lot of fascinating thoughts about religion in general, and how to deal with inconsistencies. Unfortunately this last point is somewhat glossed over. I was particularly impressed with the explanation for why god has allowed evil to occur - the only reasonable explanation I've ever heard, and therefore a shame it doesn't fit into any of the current Western religions. Although I'm sure it won't be to many reader's tastes - especially given the very marked contrast in styles compared to Mistborn, I really enjoyed the added depth the various social commentary provided. It wasn't laboured, but neatly fitted in with how the various characters were thinking at the time. It's a shame about the ending which while clever, did come across as a huge Duex et machina.A worthy conclusion.Note: This Ebook version was very badly formatted. Quite disruptive and disoncerting in places.
Review by wyvernfriend
Brandon Sanderson has designed a different magic system created by ingesting and burning metal, in this world he places a few immortals, one of which was the Lord Ruler who rules with an iron fist and allows no change. Now Elend and Vin are trying to save the world, a task that seems impossible. They not only have to fight the immortal evil but also people who are trying to keep things as they are or create different changes, throughout it the various characters change and grow and people have to make some very hard decisions.The truth behind many of the creatures in this world are realised and some of the plot points become obvious. I was surprised by the ending but it was suitable and interesting.It's an interesting read and I really did enjoy it.
Review by Tsana
The Hero of Ages is a worthy conclusion to an epic and detailed trilogy. All the titbits set up in earlier books come to fruition in this final volume as we, by the end, gain a fairly thorough knowledge of the world. As far as I remember, all the questions raised in earlier books are finally answered (I can only think of one that isn't and that was raised towards the end of the final volume as, I assume, a hook for Alloy of Law set in the future of the same world).What I found interesting in Sanderson's wrapping up was that I was able to guess some of the revelations/twists he threw out before they were revealed (and some seemed obvious several chapters before they were confirmed), some of the twists caught me completely off-guard. Including some twists/revelations which were set up well in advance and for which all the relevant clues were in place. I think this is mainly a product of the sheer volume of intricate world-building he's packed into the series (or, arguably, my lack of attention but I saw SOME things a mile off).As with the previous books in the series, I would have liked there to be more female characters in The Hero of Ages since I can literally count all the named, on page women on one hand. The fact that Vin remains an important central character continues to make up for it a bit, but still. This aspect, as well as the intricate world building, makes me want to compare what I've read of Sanderson to Patrick Rothfuss but in this instance that wouldn't be a fair comparison since Rothfuss's female characters all revolve entirely around the main character and his attempts to lessen this in his second book were heavy-handed. And I'm going off on a tangent.Back to the point, the entire Mistborn trilogy is well written and I would recommend it to all lovers of fantasy, particularly epic fantasy. It's definitely the kind of series you have to read in order because the world building is so cumulative. Handily, my Gollancz (UK/ANZ) editions have summaries of the earlier books at the back. And appendices.4.5 / 5 stars
Review by infjsarah
Thoroughly enjoyed the conclusion of the trilogy. Particularly the end which was unexpected but satisfying.

The BMW 7-Series range will receive a new model that will benefit from company's Advanced Diesel technology in the US in the form of the 2014 BMW 740Ld xDrive Sedan. Priced at 83,425, including $925 destination and handling, the 2014 BMW 740Ld xDrive Sedan will be officially introduced in February, at the Chicago Auto Show and will hit the US showrooms in Spring 2014.
As expected, the sedan is based on the long-wheelbase 7-Series body and comes with the well-known xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Under the hood, we find the popular 3.0-liter inline-6 BMW Advanced Diesel engine fitted with TwinPower Turbo technology that generates 255 hp 4,000 rpm and 413 lb-ft of torque from 1,500 – 3,000 rpm.
Bolted to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the sedan is able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 6.1 seconds. Compared wits its gasoline-powered counterparts, the 740Ld xDrive Sedan promises to have a 25 – 30 percent improvement in fuel efficiency thanks to standard features such as Driving Dynamics Control with Eco Pro mode and Auto Start/Stop that reduce fuel consumption in real-world driving situations.
The exhaust gas treatment system is specifically designed to comply with ULEV II emission standards. It uses a combination of a Nox Storage Catalyst, Diesel Particulate Filter, and the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system with no fewer than nine specific sensors working in concert to keep exhaust emissions to an absolute minimum.

June 18th, 2009 – by: jegs76
After meal the other uncle (i dont remember all the names anyway) took us in his car to the resort somewhere up the hill, but before we got there, the rain started to harass us;) so we wnt back to town, on the way down the hill there was nice view over the Laguna de Bay with the village and rice fields. Then we had some walk around Pagsanjan, to another former school of RJ and to the ricefields...
RJ was a bit afraid of the locals, coz we went to the narrow streets far from the main road, but tehy didnt kill us nor showed any agression. He must have overreacted with this fear;)
Then we came back to lola's house, met another cousins and uncles and so they asked us if we want to play cards.
Poor kLumpel had to sponsor food and even cigarets to the uncles;) then we ate and drank it and left the house, coz we wanted to get the balot - the in-egg-cooked-duck. we were waiting and waiting at the plaza and finally the sellers came with the balots. We went to the hotel and ate it... i mean i ate it coz RJ was too scared (like a kid;) and it was pretty good. Weird, but good. So if you come to Philippines, you shouldnt miss the local delicious food, even if it seems a bit 'scary' or 'unusual'. I did try it and i'm still alive!

Renshaw Teams With K Automotive For Remainder of 2004 Season Rochester Hills, Michigan (July 27, 2004) -- Deborah Renshaw will move into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driving full time, the No. 29 K Automotive Ford F-150 for the final 13...
Renshaw Teams With K Automotive For Remainder of 2004 Season
Rochester Hills, Michigan (July 27, 2004) -- Deborah Renshaw will move into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driving full time, the No. 29 K Automotive Ford F-150 for the final 13 races of the 2004 season. Renshaw's first event of the final 13 will take place this weekend at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. She will then prepare to tackle short tracks like Indianapolis Raceway Park and Bristol Motor Speedway along with familiar race tracks such as Nashville Superspeedway.
"This is an incredible opportunity for both myself and my career," said Renshaw. "I feel like this is the shot that I have needed in order to continue moving forward with my racing. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is very competitive and the veteran experience of the other drivers in the series will give me tremendous learning opportunities each weekend. I am also excited about getting to work with K Automotive for the rest of the season, especially after running Kentucky with them. They are a very competitive race team with a proven success record on all types of tracks. We all worked really well together at Kentucky and Bob and Kay have truly made me a part of their family. We share the same goals for these races and that is to learn, gain experience and steadily become more competitive each weekend."
Renshaw and K Automotive competed in one NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event three weeks ago at the Kentucky Speedway in order to see how Renshaw and the team worked together. Due to qualifying being rained out, Renshaw started the truck in the 25th position, ran a clean race and finished in the 25th position. The pairing was successful as communication between team and driver increased and the two groups made the decision to finish out the 2004 season together.
"Kentucky gave us a good feel for the type of driver we were working with," said Bob Keselowski, owner and crew chief. "Deborah has a lot of talent and she has the desire to race. This is not an easy series to step in to, but I feel like we can give her extremely competitive equipment every week and she certainly has the talent to be competitive here and progress in her career."
Renshaw previously competed in the ARCA RE/MAX Series where she made nine starts in the series and earned three top ten finishes and six top ten starts. Renshaw fielded eight entries for Bob Schacht Motorsports and one with Montgomery Motorsports. Renshaw made her mark in the world of motorsports when she became the first female driver to lead the points' race of a NASCAR-sanctioned series while competing in the Late Model Stock Cars at the Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, Tennessee.
K Automotive Motorsports has competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series since 1995 accumulating 227 starts, ten wins, 37 top five finishes and 103 top ten finishes. Five-time ARCA RE/MAX Series Champion, Frank Kimmel and the youngest Keselowski son, Brad, have shared driving duties of the No. 29 Ford during the 2004 season.

The Toronto Raptors made a big acquisition this summer leading into the 2013-14 NBA season that paid dividends immediately. The Raptors were able to lure in vaunted general manager Masai Ujiri, who masterfully (or perhaps by means of sorcery) was able to unload the colossally overpaid Andrea Bargnani in a trade that brought back, in essence, Steve Novak.
In terms of free agency acquisitions, though, the Raptors weren't active in trying to sign any big-name players and weren't interested in making a huge number of signings either. When all the dust had settled, their biggest signing of the off-season was, more than likely, fifth-year reserve power forward Tyler Hansbrough.
Hansbrough spent the first four seasons of his career with the Indiana Pacers where his role fluctuated by was almost entirely off of the bench. He earned, more or less, the reputation as less of a playmaker or scorer and more of a pesky rebounder and offensive player that's not afraid to play with extreme physicality.
Through his first six games in Toronto, Hansbrough had continued his ho-hum production that we've grown accustomed. Playing 19.7 minutes per game, he was averaging 6.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while shooting 54.5 percent from the field coming into their game against the winless Utah Jazz on Saturday night. On Saturday, though, Hansbrough showed off his "skill-set" and had a big night.
Playing 28 minutes off of the bench, Psycho T put up 23 points, seven rebounds in two steals. However, the most impressive part was that the forward took only nine field goal attempts, but got to the line 13 times, converting on 11 of his attempts.
Obviously Hansbrough isn't a 20 points per game type of scorer, but he is a physical presence that doesn't shy away from the dirty work. What he does isn't pretty by any means and it might not end up in highlight packages, but it could have real value for Toronto this season.

'The Man Nobody Knew' review: spook's story
Published 4:00 am, Friday, December 2, 2011
The Man Nobody Knew: In Search of My Father, CIA Spymaster William Colby
Documentary. Directed by Carl Colby. (No rating 104 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
Recent years have given us fine documentary portraits of famous people ("Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work") and equally fine portraits of unknowns ("Marwencol"). But "The Man Nobody Knew: In Search of My Father, CIA Spymaster William Colby" has a tougher nut to crack - an unknown famous person, a cipher and celebrity whose role in 20th century history is indisputable and obscure.
"My father lived in a world of secrets," says his son, Carl Colby, the film's director, producer and narrator. "He was tougher, smarter, smoother and could be crueler than anyone I ever knew. I'm not sure he ever loved anyone, and I never heard him say anything heartfelt."
That pithily damning character analysis arrives deep in the film, long after discussions of Colby's role in World War II and the OSS, postwar Italian politics, Vietnam, the Phoenix program (which identified and executed Viet Cong), the 1975 congressional investigation into domestic spying, and Colby's subsequent, forced departure as head of the CIA.
Through all of this, Colby is present and absent. He's ubiquitous and indistinct, this sharp-featured, owlish man who blends, Zelig-like, into the backdrop of world events. He makes an interesting case study in the cool-hand psychology of intelligence operatives, but the viewer comes away with zero understanding of him as a human being.
Even his wife barely knew him, recalling for her son the peculiarities of raising a family amid Daddy's cloak and dagger - and if she's baffled by his behavior, what hope is there for anyone else?

The interior of the SABRE 426 is hand crafted of the finest American cherry with a teak and holly sole. Satin varnish gives the wood a delicate sheen, which accents the highly detailed joinery work featuring SABRE's signature cold-molded curved laminated trim not found in other yachts. The generous headroom measures 6'6" in the main salon and aft areas, and 6'4" in the forward cabin. Drawers are maple dove-tailed construction with smooth sliding roller guides. Locker doors have fully louvered fronts, recessed self-closing hinges, and positive sealing push button latches. The elegant and extensive lighting is by Cantalupi.
Nowhere is the study of old and new elements more evident than in the main salon of the SABRE 426. The bulkhead-mounted table, a long time SABRE owners' favorite, is back, allowing for an exceptionally open and airy salon. For entertaining, or for simply relaxing at the end of an exhilerating day on the water, the two L-shaped settees offer comfortable seating spaces for all of your family and friends. The portside settee converts to a double berth. In ORONOCO the access boards in the cabin sole all latch in place, removable lee clothes are fitted to port and starboard berths, and there is an additional high capacity manual bilge pump mounted under the starboard settee.
Storage is plentiful both above and outboard of the settees. New SABRE woodworking detail found aboard the 426 are sure to please the most discriminating buyer.
The U-shaped galley is both functional and conveniently located at the base of the companionway, within easy reach of the cockpit. Large DC-refrigerated iceboxes are found aft where the most volume is available in the hull shape, and a front opening door provides convenient access to the items in the bottom of the refrigerator.
Stainless steel sinks are situated on the forward arm of the galley, as close as possible to the yacht's centerline. A convenient in-counter dish drainer/locker is located outboard and three large lockers are provided for dry goods. Many drawers are available for utensils and cookware.
The owners' cabin aboard the SABRE 426 is forward, where ventilation, light, and sleeping comfort are the best. This queen size berth is surrounded by many drawers and lockers for storage of personal gear. The hanging locker is cedar lined.
Her head compartment, with ceramic tiled floor and spacious separate shower stall is well equipped, funtional, and easy to clean. Hose runs from the WC to the holding tank are as short as possible so as to minimize head odors. The Jabsco Quiet Flush fresh water head, and Tank Watch 4 monitor further enhance this approach.
The aft cabin is roomy and airy. A clever overhead hatch (concealed under and protected by the cockpit locker lid) offers excellent ventilation as well as connecting the cockpit crew to those below. Many drawers and lockers are provided for stowage of personal effects. This boat features additional drawer storage in lieu of the standard vanity and sink.
The increasing use of personal computers for navigation led us to supply a specific space on the chart table-top for that purpose. The inboard end of the chart table hinges open for chart and accessory storage, and a large panel for flush-mounting of additional electronics is provided in clear view of the navigator. The fully equipped custom SABRE tool drawer highlights the storage in this area.

Keturah Thomson, age 13, states, "I think these need to be sold as 'Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwiches…'"
Considering the above, Tirzah Thomson, age 14, noted, "Yes. Like peanut butter sandwiches only better, and they should be sold as chocolate peanut butter sandwich bars."
Jay Thomson, President and CEO of Sweet Somethings Chocolate, Windsor, Ontario Canada says, "Mm-hm. It's quite good."

What do YOU think?
Bye for now,
Note: You may have noticed… Er, well, first, they worked! And, er, uh, well… They did work, except that I stuck them in the fridge last night, and today they were a little condensation-y. You probably noticed that, too. But that's alright… Now I know what not to do next time. Hopefully you can overlook that little foible. 🙂

Christian viewpoint:Jim Wallis on the lessons of war
The American-led war with Iraq has begun. Over the past six months, tens of millions of people, including church bodies and leaders from all over the world, undertook a powerful campaign to stop this war and offered serious alternatives to confront the real threats posed by Saddam Hussein. But now the fighting and killing has begun. As I write, the early American military confidence has run into serious Iraqi resistance and casualties are mounting, both civilian and military. It is not too early to begin to assess the lessons of war. 1. Nobody should be surprised that a vastly superior American fighting force will vanquish a vastly inferior Iraqi army. But one of America's worst characteristics is hoping that success wipes away all the moral questions. In the long run, it won't. War is always ugly and this one will be too. 2. Modern warfare has caused many more civilian casualties than military. Smart bombs are never as perfect as boasted, and not all Iraqis may want to be "liberated" by an American occupation. Above all, we must remember that "collateral damage" is never collateral to the families and loved ones of those killed in war. Don't accept the first reports on casualties from governments (on either side) or "embedded" journalists, many of whom now sound more like cheerleaders than reporters. Be sure that technology will not ultimately usurp theology or morality. Find alternative sources for information (Sojomail can help you). Watch and wait for the real story. 3. Humanitarian aid must never be co-opted by the military as "force enhancement," as the U.S. secretary of defence now terms it. Assistance to the victims of war must never become another arm of military power, but instead is the painful task to be taken on after the destruction of war. Many predict that the aftermath of this war could be far more dangerous and costly in human terms than the military campaign. Listen to the non-governmental relief organizations as we move forward. 4. If an evil, dangerous, and unpopular regime does collapse quickly, that is not an endorsement of war as the answer, but a sign that a better way to resolve the threat might well have been possible. The best wisdom of most all church leaders, former Nobel Peace laureates, and a majority of international political figures and diplomats around the world was that alternatives to a full-scale military assault on Iraq were not adequately tried, and that this was not a war of last resort. 5. A pre-emptive war of choice, rather than of necessity, fought against overwhelming world opinion and United Nations disapproval will not create an atmosphere of cooperation for post-war reconstruction nor, most significantly, for the crucial international collaboration needed to defeat the real threats of terrorism. 6. A new world order based on unilateral rather than multilateral action, military power over international law, and the sole decisions of the world's last remaining superpower over the deliberations of the community of nations will not create a framework the world can or should trust for peace. 7. Unresolved injustices like the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, feudal Arab regimes protected by oil, and globalization policies that systematically give advantage to wealthy nations over poor countries and people remain root causes of violence and will not be overcome by the imposition of American military superiority. 8. Dissent in a time of war is not only Christian, it is also patriotic. A long and honourable record of opposition to war in church tradition and American history puts dissent in the mainstream of Christian life and American citizenship. Rather than acquiesce with the start of war, prayerful and thoughtful dissent will become more important that ever. 9. The churches have demonstrated the most remarkable unity in our history in opposition to a war, even before the war with Iraq started. In the eleventh hour, the American churches didn't just say "no" to war, but offered compelling and credible alternatives that were seriously considered by many political leaders around the world, but not by our own government. An American president who increasingly uses the language of Christian faith refused even to meet with American church leaders for discernment and prayer as he made momentous decisions to go to war. The American churches are now in deep solidarity with the worldwide Body of Christ, and may have to choose between their Christian alliances and the demands and policies of their own government. We must learn to be Christians first and Americans second. 10. The onset of war with Iraq does not demonstrate the failure of the peace movement, but rather the failure of democracy. Tens of millions of people around the world have become engaged in active citizenship against the policies of pre-emptive war for resolving the greatest threats to peace and security. It is time to build on that movement, rather than withdraw from collective action. We must learn the differences between grief and despair, between lament and languishing, between hope and hostility. We are stronger now, not weaker. Our action has just begun. A personal note: On the brink of war, my wife Joy and I had a new baby. A little boy surprised us three and a half weeks early. We found ourselves in the middle of efforts to prevent war even in the labour and delivery room. Our healthy new child came into the world as our nation went to war. Amid the shock of war, we experienced the awe of new life. And during the first week of war, we have been deeply engaged as parents in the things that such new life requires. It has been deeply nourishing to our spirits - a divine intervention in a terrible time, a celebration in the midst of mourning, a blessing in the face of violence and destruction, and a joy in the middle of sorrow. Our new baby has taught me the importance of being nurtured by hope in times like these. I encourage each of us to look to those things, those relationships, and those practices, signs, wonders, and affirmations of life that we so deeply need at a time like this. I urge us all to remember that what we can do in the next few weeks of war will likely be less than we will be able to do in the months and years that lie directly ahead to help our nation develop a truly new "world perspective," as Martin Luther King Jr. said. So let us take care of ourselves, take care of each other, and carefully nourish the hope within us that God's purposes in this world will not go unfulfilled. As it became apparent that the U.S. government was on an unswerving course toward war with Iraq, leading Christian theologians and ethicists convened by George Hunsinger of Princeton Theological Seminary made the following appeal to the churches to respond with prophetic opposition, excerpted below. We are Christians, clergy and laity, from Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Historic Peace Church communities. After careful consideration and prayer, as citizens who love our country, we have come to painful conclusions. We believe that US war against Iraq is unjust and immoral. As a "pre-emptive" attack unprecedented in our history, it dishonours our nation, disregards morality, and violates international law. Citizens of good will are thrown into a crisis of conscience by our government's initiation of this war. THEREFORE, in so grave a situation, we issue the following appeal: - We appeal to all Christians: Put your faith in Jesus Christ above your loyalty to the nation, because today faith demands a higher loyalty, and patriotism means dissent. - We call upon all churches and all individual Christians to refuse their consent to this war. We call them to nonviolent resistance, rejecting actions that violate moral law. - We urge all U.S. military personnel, especially those who are Christians, to conscientious objection - to refuse to participate in this immoral war. - We commit ourselves to a renewed discipline of prayer, fasting, and meditation on God's Word. A dedicated spirituality will be needed by all who are led to faithful obedience. - We welcome support from all peoples of faith and conscience who wish to uphold us in making this appeal to the churches. - Finally, we pledge allegiance to our country and to every noble ideal for which it stands. Upholding it where it is right, we must oppose it with deep regret, for its own sake and the sake of the world, where it goes so grievously wrong.

I think I should explain now a little about the physical conformation of
Mercury--the "lay of the land," so to speak--in order that the events I am
about to describe may be more readily understood. It has already been made
clear by Bob Trevor, I believe, that Mercury revolves on its axis only
once during the time of its revolution around the sun. Thus, just as a
similar condition always makes our moon present very nearly the same face
to us, so Mercury presents always the same portion of its surface to the
It will be understood, therefore, that, theoretically, there must be on
Mercury but one spot where the sun always is directly overhead. It could
not be seen, however, owing to the dense clouds. This spot approximates
the center of the region known as the Fire Country.
So far as I could learn, it was here that human life on the planet began.
Certainly it was the first region where civilization reached any height.
When Columbus was discovering America great cities flourished in the Fire
Country--cities of untold wealth and beauty, now fallen into ruins like
the great cities of our own Aztec and Inca civilizations.
The Fire Country was then like the equatorial regions of earth--a dense,
tropic jungle, hotter than most temperatures we have to bear, but still,
by reason of its thick enveloping atmosphere of clouds, capable of
supporting life in comparative comfort. Its inhabitants were dark-skinned,
but rather more like our Indians than Negroid races.
Then, several centuries ago--the exact time is uncertain, for no written
records are kept on Mercury--came the Great Storms. Their cause was
unknown--some widespread atmospheric disturbance. These storms temporarily
parted the clouds in many places, allowing the direct rays of the sun to
fall upon the planet's surface. The resulting temperature destroyed all
life, withered all vegetation, with its scorching blast. The inhabitants
of the Fire Country were killed by hundreds of thousands, their cities
deserted, their land laid a desert waste.
These storms, which it appears began suddenly, have returned periodically
ever since, making the region practically uninhabitable. Its surviving
races, pushed outward toward the more temperate zone, were living, at this
time I am describing, in a much lower state of civilization than the
people of the Light Country--a civilization of comparative savagery. In
the Light Country they were held as slaves.
This region--thus very aptly known as the Fire Country--embraces a
circular area directly underneath the sun. So far as I could learn, it
extended outward roughly to those points where--if it had been
visible--the sun would have appeared some halfway between zenith and
Lying outside the circle, in a larger, concentric ring, is the zone known
as the Light Country. Entirely free from the equatorial storms, no direct
rays of sunlight have ever penetrated its protecting cloud blanket. Here
exists the highest state of civilization on the planet.
Beyond the Light Country, in another concentric ring, lies the Twilight
Country. It forms a belt about the planet, beginning roughly at those
points at which the sun would appear only a short distance above the
horizon, and extending back to where the sun would be below the horizon.
In this region, as its name implies, there is never more than twilight. It
is lightest at the borders of the Light Country, and fades into night at
its other side.
Still farther, beyond the twilight zone, lies the region of perpetual
night and cold--the Dark Country. This area embraces the rest of the
planet, comprising something less than half of its entire surface. Here is
eternal night--a night of Stygian darkness, unlighted even by the stars,
since the same atmosphere makes them invisible.
The Dark Country, so far as it has been explored--which is very little--is
a rocky waste and a sea of solid ice that never melts. Near the borders of
the Twilight Country a few people like our Eskimos exist--savages with
huge white faces, and great, staring eyes. There are a few fur-bearing
animals and birds, but except for this fringe of life the Dark Country is
thought to be uninhabited, its terrible cold making life in any form
So much, in general, for the main geographical features of Mercury. The
Great City stands about halfway between the borders of the Fire Country
and the edge of the twilight zone. This level marshland, the barren,
metallic mountains, and a sort of semitropic jungle, partly inundated by
water, comprise nearly all the area of the Light Country.
From the Great City, through the watery jungle, extends a system of little
winding bayous--a perfect maze of them, with hundreds of
intercommunicating branches--which it would be almost impossible to
traverse without losing all sense of direction.
Beyond these bayous, into which their sluggish currents flow, lies the
Narrow Sea. On its farther shore begins the Twilight Country, much of it a
barren, semifrigid waste, with a little level, tillable land, vast rocky
mountain ranges, and a few forests.
In spite of its inhospitable character the Twilight Country is fairly
densely populated; and, I realized when I got into it, civilized life is
exceedingly difficult to maintain there. I understood then why the
Twilight People were so envious of land in the Light Country; and, in
truth, I could not blame them for that, or for looking toward our earth
with longing.
But just as the Light Country People had defended their borders with
implacable determination, so was I determined that they should not invade
my world, either. And I was ready to stake my life and even the lives of
those I loved here on Mercury in the attempt to prevent them.

Heartfelt and emotional, at one point McKinnon can even be seen tearing up as she sings.

When the song ended, McKinnon-as-Clinton turned to the camera and said: "I'm not giving up. And neither should you. And live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"
The unexpected shift in tone was definitely an attention-grabber, judging by the reaction on Twitter:
