Coach Joe Hignite
September 4, 1962 — July 3, 2011
Joe Hignite became a part of the Dayton hockey community at a very young age. He grew up playing for Dayton Amateur Hockey Association (DAHA) and then in high school.
He became a hockey coach after having a son that wanted to play. Coach Joe coached in the Dayton Bomber Youth Hockey League for 13 years, beginning when his son was a mini-mite. He continued to coach his son until his son moved to a AA midget team. At that point Coach Joe's true love for the game shined through when he chose to continue coaching at the house level. Coach Joe said, "I stayed at house level to teach kids some skills, but mostly the love of this great sport!! I have kids that I coached as mini mites & I'm still coaching the same kids at the midget level, WE love this sport."
Coach Joe's passion for the game of hockey was obvious to every kid and every parent that he touched through the game. He loved the kids as if they were his own and he loved all of the life lessons the game has to teach. It is in honor of Coach Joe and his passion that we strive to grow the love of hockey through the Hignite Memorial Cup.

Republican National Committee Communications Director Sean Spicer was interviewed Tuesday on CNN about Donald Trump's moves thus far as the president-elect.
However, host Wolf Blitzer tried to keep the focus on neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups' support for Trump and whether he has done enough to disavow them.
Blitzer started by rehashing Trump's meeting Monday with New York Times reporters and repeated Trump's quote denouncing the racist groups: "It's not a group I want to energize and if they are energized I want to look into it and find out why."
Advertisement - story continues below
After reading the quote, Blitzer asked Spicer if he thought it was enough.
"Tell us a little bit more," the CNN host said. "Should he go out and deliver a speech specifically denouncing these neo-Nazis, these white supremacists … and make that abundantly clear that he doesn't want these people's support and he condemns them?"

"When is it going to be enough?" asked Spicer.
"He has condemned everyone that has come out and supported him, every group that supported him, at some point you have to take his position and move on," Spicer said.

He continued, "But over and over again, somebody'll come out and say, 'I support Donald Trump,' he has to denounce them. Someone tweets, he has to refute the tweet. At what point is his position clear?"
"He has said that he refutes that," Spicer said. "That's not the kind of movement that he wants to support or be energized by him, that's not the kind of people that he wants to be associated with him, and so I don't know how many more times Donald Trump can make his position clear. But it has been crystal clear for a long time, and over and over and over again, with every tweet, utterance — you know — you name it, Facebook post, he has to somehow respond to it.
"He has made his position clear, it's time that we accept that position and move on. Because that's not his focus."

Blitzer, though, wasn't done with the topic.
"So why do you think, Sean, these neo-Nazi groups, these white supremacist groups, we saw them here in Washington over the weekend, you saw the video — why do you think they still support him?"
"I don't know!" Spicer answered emphatically.
"That's really not my focus figuring out why certain groups support him," the RNC official said. "He won the election with tens of millions of people. I haven't sat down and figured out why certain groups supported him or didn't. He won the election. His focus is on making the country better.

"But at some point, take his word as what it is. But to continue to ask him over and over again to denounce the same people, the same words, the same groups, over and over again, is getting a bit preposterous. His focus, his words, is uniting this country, moving us forward, creating jobs. I don't know how many times he can talk about that. But he is continually asked on this and other areas to repeat his position over and over again, and it seems a bit silly, because that's not what his focus is."
Blitzer wasn't satisified. He said Trump seems to only denounce hate groups when prompted.
"He does it in response to questions," he said. "You're right. And he's very tough in response to questions, but he doesn't do it necessarily on his own initiative."
Blitzer continued, "For example, he hits the news media when he thinks there's a story that's unfair, he tweets when he's outraged about something in the media, Hamilton, what happened at the Broadway musical Hamilton, but he doesn't seem to go out of his way to express his outrage over people hailing him with Nazi salutes. Why doesn't he do that more dramatically, if you will, and make it more clear he wants no part of these people?"
"Because I think it's asked and answered Wolf," Spicer replied.
"You've asked me eight times, the same question. I've told you what his position is," he said. "Because that's not his focus. His focus is making this country better for all Americans, creating a better education system for all Americans, rebuilding our inner cities, that's what his focus is. So I get that you guys all want to ask the same question over and over again and make him denounce it eight ways to Sunday, but it's not what he wants to talk about. He's focused on making this country better, on lifting people up."

The last time Britain had two men in the French Open proper, Tim Henman was Andy Murray's wingman and mentor, keeping the 19-year-old "phenom" entertained in the locker-room with daft games like Top Trumps or throwing screwed-up pieces of paper into a waste paper bin.
Since then, Murray has spent the best part of a decade flying solo at Roland Garros – a site that happens to be named after a World War One fighter pilot. The year's biggest clay-court tournament has not been kind to the British contingent, who usually find the terre battue about as congenial a surface as broken glass.
Small wonder, then, that Murray was so proud on Friday of his Davis Cup team-mate and fellow Arsenal fan James Ward, who spent a touch over three hours on court before finally subduing the world No 94 Blaz Rola in a see-sawing deciding set. Ward saved two match points, and missed one of his own, on his way to a 4-6, 6-4, 12-10 win that earns him a first appearance in the French Open's main draw.
"It was a long tough match," said Murray, whose own press conference in Paris was delayed by a few moments as he watched the final points. "But if you want to break through and get on to the tour, these are the sort of matches you need to fight through. It's a big win for James."
The qualifying tournaments here are about as brutal as tennis gets: 128 players who all play a ferociously high standard of the game, and yet in most cases find themselves delving into overdrafts, or begging for loans, just to pay for the flight to the next tournament.
Whatever happens to Ward when he appears in his first-round match proper, he is guaranteed a paycheque of at least €24,000 (£19,400) – a healthy payday for a man who spends most of his time on the second-tier Challenger Tour.
"It's very difficult [in the Challengers]," said Ward, who on Friday became the first British man since John Lloyd in 1973 to come through qualifying at Roland Garros.
"You're paying for two people: the food, the hotel and the travel, for you and your coach. And if you lose first round you're getting $300 (£178), minus tax. It's embarrassing, really."
Murray spoke out earlier this week about the many fine professionals who are stuck on the tennis breadline, gazing enviously at the sums earned by moderate footballers and even golfers when they themselves might as well be playing in the amateur era.
"We want to make tennis a better sport," Murray said, "and we want to make it easier for more players to make a living."
Ward is grateful for such esprit de corps. He acknowledges that the big names deserve their perks – the dedicated drivers and the appearance fees – and yet he also feels that the contrast between the sport's rich and poor has become over-exaggerated.
"If you've got a team of five guys around you – a coach, a physio, a trainer, and an agent, sorting out where you're going for dinner, picking you up, life's a lot easier. Yes, you have to earn those things, but there shouldn't be such a massive gap to the guy who can't even get transport leaving here, because he's lost in the first round of qualies.
"At the US Open you get refused entry the day after you lose. What's that about? You're in the top 200 players in the world and you have to get somebody to pick up your laundry because you left it in there the day before. Those are the sorts of things that need to change, but how it's going to change I don't know."
Ward will discover on Saturday whom he plays next – it could equally well be another qualifier or the No 14 seed Fabio Fognini, whom he lost to in the Davis Cup in April.
Murray continues to make tantalising hints about his next coach. "I have an idea of exactly what I want," he told the BBC on Friday. "I've thought about it a lot, I've spoken to them and I'll see. It's not like you chat to the person and the next day it's done."
It might seem peculiar for Murray to still be in negotiations as he enters the year's second slam, especially when you consider that Ivan Lendl left his support team two months ago. But then he insists that he doesn't want to rush in too quickly and make a mistake.
"I have met a lot of good people that I respect on the tennis tour, people whose opinions I listen to," he said. "So I'm not in a panic to get someone, but it's a lot closer than it was."
Murray has drawn Andrey Golubev in the first round here, a heavy-hitting Kazakh ranked No 55 in the world. Although Golubev beat the Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka in April, that was on an indoor hard court, and his record at Roland Garros, including qualifying, stands at one win in seven attempts.
Heather Watson has one more match to win if she wants to give British fans someone to cheer for in the women's draw. Laura Robson is absent injured, while Johanna Konta went down in three sets on Friday to Yuliya Beygelzimer.

December 22nd, 2006, 10:04 PM #1For Brian - About the new Preview Datafeed
Hi Brian,
Today, while I was browsing all the merchants that I have joined on SAS that have a datafeed, the only thing on my mind was to sort out those that are on auto-deposit, those that have a last updated date from at least 2006, those that are making me money, those that I have forgotten about, those that have approved me for direct FTP or not, and more important, those that I am thinking about dropping because their datafeed sucks.
I don't know when you added that new "Preview Datafeed" feature, but I like it. A few months ago I made something similar for my own use, so I can test any merchants with a datafeed that I have joined, on my HD before I waste my time with a crappy datafeed and making live product pages for them.
(It's funny, but today, someone that I showed the new "Preview Datafeed" feature, asked me if I had posted my "Preview Datafeed" template anywhere, because the one on SAS was similar to the one I created a few months ago for my own use.)
Brian, I want to say:
Thank you Brian for adding that new tool, I find that new "Preview Datafeed" feature can help some of the new (and me too) SAS affiliates make a preliminary decision on what merchant datafeed to work with first, or not to work at all.
But........... A BiG BUT........
While I get too excited about seeing the new "Preview Datafeed" feature while I was just looking at datafeed merchants that I have joined, I got a big disappointment later.
Brian, what's with the you can only see the "Preview Datafeed" feature from merchants that you have already joined?
While I can really be happy with that new tool the way it's, after I have made a similar tool all by myself to get the same results, I can't understand why we can't all see the same "Preview Datafeed" feature for merchants that we have not joined yet.
So in conclusion Brian,
How difficult it would be, to be able to see the "Preview Datafeed" feature from any SAS merchant with a datafeed, even before we join that merchant with a datafeed?
I think it would be a good idea to see how she look like, before we even get that horny because of her name, or because she was recommended by (whatever, or), someone we knew.
Brian, I hope that you don't tell me that, in order to met her parents, I have to marry that (B****) first, Ok?

Nunu Build Guide by colinzz

Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
OP yetiTanky Jungler Nunu
Nunu Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
- Not mana dependent to jungle
- Dont need smite to clear jungle
- Ability CONSUME: heal and do strong damage to monsters
- Ability ICE BLAST: is almost a perma slow
-Dont have a strong burst damage
-Interruptible ultimate
-not very useful without teammates
Jungle Route
1. Golem buff
2. wolves
3. wraiths
4. little golem
5. lizard buff
6. wraiths again
with all these monster u can start ganks at level 4
Slain Dragon
When you are jungler this is one of the monsters that you must get, but the opponent team try dont happen, because slain dragon give 190 gold to all your team mates.
the first step to win dragon to your oponent team, is get oracle elixir. (ORACLE ELIXIR: is item to see invisible things like wards, teemo´s mooshroms, or oponent champions like teemo and evelin), or vision ward this items can be found in the consumables gate, with it you can destroy oponent wards, probably dragon will be ward.
After to destroy wards u can gank bot or mid conveniently to have healp because dragon is the second stroger monster in the map, with a suport or carry partner(ad or ap) be easier.
is so dificult to slain alone even at high level champion therefore if you cant see the oponent team in the map you must put wards in dragon and baron, dragon in low level and both in high level, eventhough it havent buff, gives a lot of experience and money.
If you see your opponent team fighting with the dragon is easier to kill them, and get dragon to your oun team.
if you see your oponent teaam warding the dragon is convenient you get a "vision ward" or "oracle elixir" at the moment.
Gold: 190 (Global) (+25 to killer); Experience: 400 (Global) ;Health: 3030 (+220 * highest champion's level); Attack Damage: 190; Range: ~500; Armor: 21; Magic Resist: 30; Critical Strike Chance: 0%; Attack Speed: 0.658/sec; Movement Speed: 330; Initial Spawn Time: 2:30 ;Respawn Time: 6:00
Gank Tips
When u are in lvl 4 with ice blast up 1 time can start ganks. you must look all lines and give a gank in the less pushed line. then continue jungling, rising level and farming monsters.
All the time u must look at the lines.
Is convenient gank in top when the line is pushed most of the river to your side of the map, when is warded and you know it u can go for the enemy red lizard buff and take them for the top turret bushes.
Is convenient gank in mid when the enemy champ is fighting or trying to escape far away of their turret generaly after to take some buff (blue or red). when its warded u can go around, for bushes and go close of the enemy turret attack from behind without being seen if you get blue for this side, and if you get red for the red side of the map.
Is convenient gank in bot, when the line is pushed most ot the river, that line generaly is warded, so you should expect the enemy distraction to strat the combat without being seen, if you fail the gank u can go for another way your turret bushes hiding for a good opportunity to gank.
Keep in mind for effective ganks every time have full health preferably you and your allies, but you must to be full health----
Oracle elixir is a good tool to have successful ganks
With your Oracle's Elixir clear all river/brush wards top, mid, and bot lane, setting up for dragon. If a lane has a gank open I take it, if not I dont wait around, just clear wards and farm junlge. This is what I call downtime becasue you have an "Oracles Target" on your head and your trying to keep this throughout the whole lanning phase.
After you clear all the wards, camp bot lane for the next 30-45 seconds. Go for another gank once your ultimate is back up. Then call your team for Dragon.
Laning phase ussually ends once two+ outer towers go down or if the game gets to around the 20 minute mark because by that time tower dive ganks will happen as all champs are strong enough to tank the damage.
Q: Consume
Takes a bite out of target minion, dealing 500/600/700/800/900 true damage and restoring 125/180/235/290/345 (+1) health.
Cost 60/60/60/60/60 Mana
Range 100
(Due to nerfs and the jungle changes, this spell has become increasingly weaker throughout the months. However still note that it's a near instant nuke and very few skills can outdamage. Leveling this will make the cooldown shorter while adding damage and adding more heal which makes it extremely potent with 40% CDR as dragon or normal buffs can be taken out very quickly with little or no help. One should note however, this spell has a significant casttime despite not being channeling and only does HALF damage to Baron despite being true damage. Using this will often secure any buff in the game.
W: Blood Boil
Increases an allied unit's attack speed by 25/35/45/55/65% and movement speed by 11/12.5/13/14.5/15% for 15 seconds. Nunu also gains the effects of Bloodboil if casted on an allied unit.
Cost 50/50/50/50/50 Mana
Range 700
(This in combination with Ice Blast is the big reason why Nunu is such a great roamer. Unless you are somehow hurting for mana, this spell should almost always be on, as it's cooldown is low enough to permanently have it on Nunu and make him walk around the map at high speeds all the time. Sometimes it's good to keep it up if you're about to do a gank and instantly bloodboil your ally (no cast animation/time on this) instead of use it on yourself prior to the gank as your ally won't benefit from it. Use this often when you can afford it as it'll allow Nunu's jungling to be faster and make his passive proc faster due to it's increased attack speed. A ranged carry with this on will be very nice as it gives the valued movespeed buff as well as an attack speed buff).
E: Ice Blast
Nunu throws a ball of ice at an enemy unit, dealing 85/130/175/225/275 (+1) magic damage and slowing their movement speed by 40/45/50/55/60% and attack speed by 25% for 4 seconds.
Cost 75/85/95/105/115 Mana
Range 550
(Despite it's seemingly weak stats/range etc, it is a very strong roam spell. When combined with CDR, it can basically perma slow someone to a halt and force teams to stop roaming solo as Nunu will likely outrun anything, including a ghosted enemy when he applies this over and over. Because my build doesn't go full AP or magic pen, it's damage later will be minimal at best and this'll mostly annoy anyone diving your carry or the enemy carry themselves as it also slows attack speed and makes them easy pickings because they're super slow. However note the extremely slow projectile speed, making it very easy to flash/valkyrie/etc away, stalling it's effect until the projectile finally reaches them. So often, you'll want to be in the path of their escape when using this or else they could basically be at their tower when the projectile reaches them in a gank).
R: Absolute Zero
While channeling for 3 seconds, slows nearby enemy units' attack speed and movement speed. After channeling, enemies caught in the area are dealt 625/875/1125 (+2.5) magic damage.
Cost 150/150/150 Mana
Range 550
(This is an extremely hard skill to pull off, but because of it's high base damage, it makes tank Nunu able to do damage despite stacking tank items and such. However, when combined with his Iceblast, it gets extremely annoying to champions who dive the enemy carry as they're forced to walk through your absolute zero or blow their disable on you which is good for your team as it'll be less pressure on your carry who should be kiting them to oblivion. This is also extremely potent in ganks/counter ganks as you can ult from the brush and they don't actually see the spell being cast (though they should notice their extremely slow movespeed) and will have a hard time stopping it unless they have an area of effect disable to blindly rush the brush to stop Nunu. While canceling before it ends greatly reduces the damage, unless you expect the enemy to be pushed back in or walk in, it's highly recommended you cancel the channeling if everyone is about to leave it).
I run these masteries because defense is currently extremely strong compared to the other trees for melee bruisers such as Nunu. Nunu on his own is actually very weak durability wise due to him having zero defense skills (consume doesn't really count) as unlike lee Sin's mobility/shield, skarners speed/shield, rammus defense curl and shyvanas natural armor/MR, Nunu has nothing aside from a few extra hp per level. This means he isn't very durable for staying in the front lines unless he gets the items to (hence why Nunu players tend to move more towards defense/support items than AP). I run 21 in defense to help achieve this while having 9 in utility as I figure it'd be more useful than having slightly more damage on my spells as Nunu runs out of mana fairly quickly and the utility tree has a few skills that can help him out there.
I defence privilege, thinking in the team game, you will be the tank of your team and nunu hasnt defence skills, providing 109.23 of total health (Quint of health + Mark of health); 12.6 of magic resist (Gliph of magic resist) to endure attacks of AP champions; 12,69 of armor (Seal of armor).
Giving resistance to all kind of attacks, if you plus this to the defence given from the items, you will be a good tank for your team and will take less damage from the monsters while you are jungler.
Sumoner spells
EXHAUST: if you are ganking and the oponent champion its escaping and you have "E: Ice Blast" with cool down, have other chance to get slow for a clear gank, also you can reduce damage and attack speed of your oponent stats.
FLASH: eventhough the defense and endurance that you have, you can be hurt and get alot of damage, if you are dying can use flash to scape death, or if a enemy champion is booting you can use offensively to get slow, or kill it.

Google May Pull Out Of China Because Of Censorship
Google says its Gmail service has come under cyber-attacks directed against Chinese human rights activists. Google has not said whether it believes the Chinese government was responsible, but the Internet company has said it will stop censoring its search results in China. Google also says it may pull out of China entirely.
STEVE INSKEEP, Host:
We are following other news around the world, including this from China. It involves the giant Internet search company Google. Google says its Gmail service, which is an email service, has come under cyber attack directed against Chinese human rights activists. Google has not said whether it believes the Chinese government was responsible, but the Internet company has said it's going to stop censoring its search results in China - something the government is not going to like.
NPR's Louisa Lim is following the story in Shanghai. Hi, Louisa.
LOUISA LIM: Good morning, Steve.
INSKEEP: How did this news emerge?
LIM: Well, it came out in a posting on Google's blog by the top lawyer there, David Drummond. And he said that Google would be taking this new approach to China after discovering that it had been a target of hacker attacks from inside China, which resulted in the theft of intellectual property. As you say, he said hackers had tried to gain access to Gmail accounts of human rights activists and that this had been a part of a coordinated attack on 20 major companies.
Google says that it will no longer censor the results on its search engine and it'll go into discussions with the Chinese government about this. If it isn't possible, it says, it will simply shut down its China offices.
INSKEEP: And we're in the middle here of a rather dramatic story about intellectual freedom here, aren't we, because Google had been criticized for going along with the Chinese government's demands to censor some Web sites.
LIM: That's right. Google was kind of late to the Chinese market. They only set up their Chinese language search engine, Google.cn, in 2006. And at the time there was a lot of controversy about whether a company whose motto is Don't Be Evil should be allowing themselves to have a search engine whose results are censored.
But at that point their thinking was that it was better to offer censored results than nothing at all. They would still be expanding access to information, so they went ahead.
INSKEEP: And now we have this situation where Google says that email has been hacked. They're talking about lifting their censorship and also talking, if I'm not mistaken, about possibly pulling out of China entirely. What has the reaction been like in China?
LIM: Well, it's pretty much spanned the spectrum of opinion. Some people are stunned, others are saddened, and quite a few are skeptical as well. Today, we saw some young netizens going to the Google headquarters in Beijing and laying flowers and bowing in front of the building. This was intended to show their respect, almost as a symbolic act of mourning.
And they feel that Google is one of probably the first major multinationals to take a stand against censorship in China. But many others don't rate Google's chances. In the last few hours we've also seen signs that news portals here are being asked to tone down their coverage of the story. And there are some people who believe that Google hasn't been massively successful in China, and they're wondering about Google's motivations - suggesting that Google might be in fact be sacrificing its China's business to buy goodwill elsewhere in the world.
INSKEEP: Louisa, always good to talk with you.
LIM: Thank you, Steve.

Are you an aspiring author? A lover of words, stories and characters? A daydreamer? A creative soul more comfortable in fictional worlds than reality?
This post is for you.
Don't Let Life Stop You From Writing Your Book!
Some of us dream from childhood of writing a novel. Some are called to it later down the road. The moment you decide to write a book life will send every conceivable interference to try and stop you. From the major stuff (divorce, bankruptcy, illness, death) to the all the little daily demands (family, friends, work, errands and social media).
But these are the moments when you need to charge forward with more resolve than ever.
I've always wanted to be a published author. It wasn't until 1997 that I began pursuing it seriously (with lapses in between when road blocks got in the way). Although it took me longer than I would have liked to publish, I always kept writing and working on craft.
I'd like to share my Top Favorite writing resources with you. There are many, many phenomenal resources available, which is why I've held off putting together a list in the past, but here are my Must Reads and You Gotta Check Outs:
3 Books
If you ask me, these days too much focus is being placed on platform and branding. So much energy goes into marketing strategy that we're not giving as much thought to the most important aspect of writing:
One of the things I appreciated most about Stephen King's On Writing is that he said you don't have to be a literary author to care about language, craft and the art of telling stories.
Hooked by Les Edgerton is about one thing and one thing only. Grabbing your readers' attention! In today's world of gadgetry and internet it is absolutely crucial that you hook your reader from page one and keep them on the line.
This cute little book is filled with practical (yet often overlooked) advice. I almost wish it was required reading before anyone could hit publish on a self-published book.
Now that the King of commercial fiction has taught us about overcoming roadblocks, plotting, revising and the overall aspects of good storytelling... And now that we know how to grab our readers attention (along with avoiding the no-nos), it's time to Edit!
Oh boy!
Self-editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King is another book I wish was required reading before self-publishing. There's only so much a copy editor can do and it's up to authors to get their manuscript into the best shape possible before passing it on for professional help.
Online Writing Workshops
My #1 favorite: Gotham Writers' Workshops
It's spendy, but you pay for what you get. Incredible support, advice and critiques from award-winning and bestselling writing instructors and feedback from a talented group of online classmates.
Gotham is the Harvard of online writing workshops.
National Novel Writing Month
You have some resources now. The only thing left is to Write Your Book!
Most people have heard of NaNoWriMo these days. For anyone who ever dreamed of completing a book, this is the most Fun, Motivational (free) writing event ever conceived... and it takes place NEXT month.
To get the most out of this month, I highly recommend first reading founder Chris Baty's No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress, High-velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days.
I read this quick guide in March 2005 and was so inspired afterwards that I did my own NaNoWriMo the very next month (April 2005), completing my first full length novel - a defining life moment that led to fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a full-time fiction writer.
It's Your Turn
Check out these resources, block out the distractions - the rest is up to you!

JK Tyres Kankroli plant awarded ISO certification
JK Tyres Kankroli plant near Udaipur has become the first tyre manufacturing facility in Asia and the second in the world to be awarded the ISO 50001 energy management system certification by British Standard Institution. The performance was reviewed by Japan Accreditation Board, which found that the system is well implemented and yielding results. Individual organisations cannot control energy prices, government policies or the global economy, but they can improve the way they manage energy. Improved energy performance can provide rapid benefits, the company said.

My mom had a couple of different methods of disciplining -- some I agree with, and some I don't. The first was used when I was fairly little, if I started throwing fits she'd make me sit with my nose in the corner until I calmed down. The only problem was that I always turned it into a battle of wills -- I knew she could hear me, and would continue screaming as long as possible...even to the extent of having a concerned neighbor call DFS after a couple of hours. That said, I use a similar method with my son, except that he goes to his bedroom without his favored toys and sits on his bed until he's calm...he knows I can't hear him very well...and then he has to come downstairs and sit calmly while we discuss what he did wrong (he's 5 now, been doing that since he was 3).
The other thing my mom used was spankings...as I got older, I only got stronger-willed, and quickly discovered that I had a lot more time to waste than she did in any given day. While spankings may have a place in some discipline, I know they didn't work for me, and certainly don't work for my son (in my ex-husband's house). The only time I ever use spankings is if my son acts out violently -- in the real world, violence will be responded to with violence -- but for everything else, we want him to know that calm and reasonable is the way to handle problems, not lashing out.

Oh yes!!! I think so. We parents today are too easy on our children and they tend to just walk all over us, if we let them. My father was 100% Italian and when he said something you had better listen and you know what, that discipline made me the man I am today. We have to be more strict with out children.

My mum ever told me off with a stern voice or smack back of my legs, my ass or back of my hands. And i grew up to be a polite gentleman. Whoever saying"oh you should talk to them to try to calm them down" or "place them in a spot without thier toy" that will only work if there under 9 years old any older they seem not to care and dont learn the lesson. Please grow up you need to slap your kids leg or back sides time to time. No it wont make them fear you it make them fear to the the action they did to deserve a smack again because of parents thinking smacking is bad majority of kids now swear all the time and is spoiled.

Today marks the beginning of the 112th Congress and a new chapter in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives and our nation. For too long, the U.S. House has forced a destructive and unpopular agenda on the American people and ignored its own rules whenever it was politically convenient. But that all changes beginning today. The 112th Congress is already showing that it means business by turning the people's agenda into real legislation and bringing transparency and openness back to the House of Representatives.
The House gaveled into session today with a humbled and renewed sense of purpose and commitment to listening to the people and getting results. The American people made it clear that the tax increases, out-of-control spending binges and massive borrowing of the last few years must end, and the principles of fiscal restraint must inform every decision made during the 112th Congress.
Among the first measures to be considered by the House will be a measure to cut congressional budgets by 5 percent, saving taxpayers around $35 million in the first year alone. The resolution cuts the operating budgets of every office in the U.S. House of Representatives by at least 5 percent. While the savings are only a small fraction of total federal spending, it sends a strong message that Congress will diligently scour the federal government for places to save tax dollars – even if that means cutting lawmakers' own budgets. I'm pleased to announce the House Appropriations Committee, of which I'm a senior member and will serve as a subcommittee chairman, has gone even further and cut its own operating budget by 9 percent.
But that won't be enough. It's imperative that Congress gives American families and small businesses the certainty and stability they need to begin growing the economy. That certainty cannot exist without a responsible federal budget. Americans who had to scale back their family's own budgets throughout the past few years watched in frustration as the previous Congress failed to pass a budget resolution for the current fiscal year. If the broken and neglected budgeting process of last year taught us anything, it's that job growth and economic recovery won't take hold until Washington gets serious about fiscal restraint.
For the last several years, the House's most consequential legislation has emerged from backroom deals among party leaders who then strong-arm the bills to final passage. With the beginning of the new Congress, we can wipe away that legacy of partisanship and restore the House of Representatives to the true legislative body it was intended to be.
This year, we'll restore the legislative process that fell by the wayside during the previous Congress. That means the regular committee process, which was so often bypassed by majority leadership during the last four years, will operate under open and transparent procedures that allow representatives from both parties to offer input. Starting this month, the House of Representatives once again will be a legislative body, a forum where representatives from every district in America can propose ideas and conduct honest debates. Starting this month, the House of Representatives once again will become the People's House where the new Republican leadership will change the way Congress does business and change the business that Congress does.

It's Now or Never for Ethics Reform
Saturday, December 16, 2006
The voters offered Congress an unparalleled opportunity on Election Day. Let us hope our legislators have the wisdom to seize it.
I'm talking, of course, about ethics reform. The upcoming session of Congress may be our best chance in a generation to enact meaningful reforms governing how Congress runs and polices itself.
Acting quickly, early in 2007, is crucial not only for addressing the problems that arose on Capitol Hill over the past several years, but also for restoring public confidence in a vital, but badly stained, American institution. Voters were clearly and unequivocally in the mood for reform in November and impatient with excuses for not moving ahead with it, and there is no doubt in my mind they will be watching carefully to see what happens in January.
The signals coming from the incoming House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, have been quite positive. She has said that the 110th Congress will be "the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history," and the new House majority is already moving to put together a package of reforms. Republican leaders also seem supportive of efforts to prevent abuses of office.
So this is a hopeful moment — but it is only that. The hard work will come when Congress convenes and focuses on the details of changing fine words into deeds.
Some of what Congress needs to do is obvious. Banning all gifts, meals, and travel paid for by lobbyists is a key first step. So, too, are: requiring complete and readily accessible disclosure of lobbyist contacts with members of Congress; finding ways to restrict the access to sitting members by former members of Congress who have become lobbyists; and tightening up on ways members enrich themselves while in office.
Simply put, the freewheeling atmosphere that once prevailed on Capitol Hill — at least until the Jack Abramoff scandal dampened the fun — needs to become a thing of the past.
Somewhat less obvious, but no less important, Congress should also own up to its own bad habits. The new majority has already indicated that so-called "earmarks" are off the table for the remainder of the fiscal year, but it also needs to act for the long term by requiring disclosure of who is responsible for each earmark that lards future budgets.
This is a slippery issue, because there are some earmarks — a bridge, a new post office, a badly needed highway interchange — that members are more than happy to be associated with back home. But there are other earmarks — most notably, appropriations aimed at funneling federal money to this contractor or that contributor — that their sponsors would prefer to remain cloaked. So talk of requiring full disclosure of "district-oriented earmarks" misses the point; it's those darker payments to interests that may not be located in a member's district that need the full light of day and thorough vetting.
Finally, I am heartened to see that the notion of an independent Office of Public Integrity, separate from the congressional ethics committees, is at last getting serious consideration by House members and senators on both sides of the aisle.
This is a key reform. The slap-on-the-wrist approach taken by the House ethics committee toward members who knew early on about former Rep. Mark Foley's behavior toward House pages is a classic illustration of how hard it is for Congress to enforce its own ethics code. Even though an independent office could at best make recommendations for enforcement to the ethics committees, its words would carry great weight and ensure that, at a minimum, the American public would have a trustworthy yardstick by which to judge the actions — or inaction — of its representatives.
The truth is, it takes two independent forces acting at once to keep congressional ethics on the front burner, both legislatively and in legislators' minds.
One is pressure from the voters, and with 42 percent having reported in exit polls Nov. 7 that corruption and scandals in government were extremely important in how they voted last month, public pressure is a key influence at the moment.
The other is a clear message from the bipartisan leadership of the House and Senate that this is important, and that they expect and will enforce the highest standards of conduct in Congress.
No doubt there will be attempts in coming weeks to water down whatever reform legislation is proposed, just as the temptation will be strong, once the spotlight has moved on, to let standards slip. But as long as the public and the leadership remain determined to see that members of Congress act to reflect credit on the institution and to live up to what the American people expect and deserve, we have a good chance of regaining an institution that makes us proud and maintains our trust.

text: Hello, from South Africa.. So the cuckolding scene this side of the world is minimal, people don't want to share their wives with the black man it seems, albeit there plenty of requests I receive from couples abroad until about last week whereby a couple from Durban contacted me wanting to enquire about my BBC.. I am in Johannesburg and because of this lifestyle drought I decided to make my way to Durban whereby I was pleasantly surprised to be approached by a Indian couple (I have always fantasized about a Indian lady) and to top it off the wife was a BBW Indian sporting curves everywhere which ticked all the boxes on my Indian wish list! So far husband instructions allowed his wife and I to engage only in foreplay, as the wifey seemed hesitant the 1st evening but slowly started to ease up after I joined the couple in the hot tub to execute the momentum. Below is pictures of what I'm about to own a bit later, and amped to be her 1st BBC. Condom or Bareback ? I'll find out later..

Help needed with gmshToFoam
I used gmshToFoam today for the first time and it converts my mesh without any obvious problems. However, I defined the patches where I apply my internal boundary conditions as physical surfaces in GMSH but after gmshToFoam they all come out as one patch (patch0 in the boundary file).
What can I do to convert it in a way that I get several patches.
FYI: the geometry is simply a box within a box and I apply a temperature to two of the internal faces - simple.
Thanks for your help.
Managed to get it working!
The only problem was, when I saved my file in GMSH it gave me options in a drop-down list: Version1, Version2 etc... The default was Version2, when I changed it to version1 it worked like a charm...

It's comforting to have that promotion board out of the way.
So do you have E4?
I remember my promotion board...I was scared shitless and memorized the fuck out of all of the governing regulations for each category. If I didn't know the answer to a question, at least I could lean on those to carry me through.
yup, it's just the army's way of saying an E4 is eligible for promotion to sergeant. i'll be promoted to E5 next month if my promotion points meet the cutoff score for june.

After guests are kitted out with their helmets and gloves they get transported to the top of Signal Hill for their 1st Downhill Run. The trip is not only fun but also informative as the guides will keep you entertained with info about the area aswell!
We get picked up in Bo Kaap by the driver and then we head for the main run down Table Mountain from Dead Man's tree all the way down to Deer Park where the driver will pick us up again and bring us back to the starting point at Lower Table Mountain.
Scooters are non motorised making this eco friendly. These Swiss designed scooters are used in the Alps during the summer season on the ski slopes when the snow is gone. All trips are guided by professional qualified guides.
2 Runs – 1 x Down Signal Hill and 1 x Down Table Mountain's side.
Children older than 10 can drive their own Scooter and MUST book a Scootour Driver TICKET. Children between 4 and 9 can go as Passengers and book a Scootour PASSENGER TICKET.
The kids had a super great experience.....and the Dad's too. Thank you! - Lana Conradie
Very enjoyable. Was the highlight of our holiday - Illana whiteman
Really fun and cool activity. Highly reccomend! - Joseph Gitler
My husband, myself and our 2 small kids (Aged 6 and 3) went on a Scootour recently and it was really great! I was a little nervous at first but got the hang of it very quickly. Our guide was patient and friendly and very helpful and also taught us some great facts about what we were seeing on the tour. I highly recommend it as a fun thing for families / groups to do and I will definately be back to do it again. - Claire

show one-way streets and time restrictions in app
I would like to see the one-way streets and time restrictions in the client. Sometimes you're wondering if Waze is being weird or is avoiding a road because a one-way street and since a few days time restrictions.
Time restrictions could show a little clock on the side of the road, which you can press to show more info. One-way streets are simple - just a few arrows one way or the other.

Jociento commented
In 2D view one-way streets have arrows showing their direction, however in 3D mode this arrow is not displayed. I would like to see these arrows in 3D mode as well, because when I navigate, the Waze App is set to 3D view, and arrows are not visible. Knowing if a street is one-way can be useful during navigation. Please make arrows to be visible in 3D viee as well.

John and I have been better than restored in our marriage for about 5 years, and I'm telling you, it wasn't easy. Restoration in marriage is hard. Sometimes you'll want to quit, but if you'll just hang on, you can be fully restored. In fact, your marriage can be better than restored, no matter the circumstance! I'm so honored to share over at Sarah Koontz blog today. Sarah is one of my absolute favorite writers and although she is younger than me, she has quickly become sort of a mentor to me (and she doesn't even know it).
We live in a world in which we want everything to be easy and convenient, don't we?
We want faster, easier, and simpler.
We want crockpot meals that take 30 minutes to prepare, can simmer all day and be ready to eat when we get home from work.
We want to order our favorite Starbucks drink from an app on our phone and swing by and pick it up in 10 minutes without waiting or talking to anyone.
We want to pay for things with nothing more than our thumbprint on our iPhones.
We want what we want, and we want it right now!
And as much as our society thrives on the now, obtaining restoration in marriage is not immediate.
That is why it's hard.
But, I've got good news for you today!
Nothing is impossible with God. (Matthew 19:26)
There were times in my own marriage that I didn't think that we would make it.
There was just no way.
Too much damage had been done.
The betrayal was too deep.
Every single day, I feared that John was going to come home and say, "Shannon, I can't do this anymore, it's too hard, it hurts too much and I'm too tired."
He had every right to leave.
It's what everyone expected.
It's what I expected.
Honestly, it would've been easier on both of us if he had left –rather than embracing the hard work of restoration. But he didn't…
He chose to stay.
He chose to forgive.
He chose to rebuild.
My husband and I embraced the difficult work of restoration 5 years ago, and by the grace of God, our marriage is stronger than ever before.

MOUNTAIN VIEW (CBS SF) — A Bay Area-based Air National Guard team from Moffett Federal Airfield is en route Friday on a stage two of a rescue mission to airlift a seriously ill 1-year-old girl on a sailboat 900 hundred miles off Mexico's coast.
The 129th Rescue Wing got a call Thursday from the U.S. Coast Guard, reporting a sick infant on board the 36-foot sailing vessel, The Rebel Heart.
Four members of the 129th arrived on scene around 7 p.m. Thursday night, parachuting into the ocean from an MC-130 aircraft, where they were able to board the vessel and stabilize the girl. That was phase one of the rescue.

Troy Trojans vs. Texas-Arlington Mavericks - 1/5/15 College Basketball Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Texas-Arlington Mavericks (8-4) at Troy Trojans (5-6)
College Basketball: Monday, January 5, 2015 at 8:30 pm (Trojan Arena)
The Line: Troy Trojans +1 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Texas-Arlington Mavericks go on the road to take the hardwood with the Troy Trojans on Sunday.
The Texas-Arlington Mavericks are playing better then their season averages with scoring when needed and defense when needed. The Mavericks have ripped off five consecutive victories after outscoring visiting South Alabama 99-87 on Saturday. UTA took a 21 point lead after 20 minutes and then held off a late Jaguars rally. USA burned the nets at 52.7% but the Mavericks were even better with 59.7% shooting with 12 more looks at the basket which added up to eleven more field goals. Johnny Hill led five double digit scorers with 15 points and seven helpers on 6-8 with Lonnie McClanahan and Anthony Walker tossed in 14 points apiece. Drew Charles and Greg Gainey netted 12 and ten points followed three others with eight points each.
If the Troy Trojans are going to be a factor in the Sun Belt they will need a boost in their scoring and defense. In other words both ends of the floor need to get on the same page which hasn't been happening with losses in three of four after Saturday's 91-64 defeat at Louisiana-Lafayette in which the Ragin' Cajuns took control with a 52-33 second half run. UL Lafayette simply didn't miss with at over 57% marksmanship which easily outdistanced the Trojans 44% who compounded the issue with 19 turnovers. Wesley Person Jr. was the Trojans offensive star with a contest best 28 points on 9-15 while Chris Bilbo tossed in ten points. The tandem of John Walton and Musa Abdul-Aleem each scored eight points but ULL had too many offensive options.
The Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. Texas-Arlington are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 road games. The Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss and are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games following a SU loss of more than 20 points. Troy are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Sun Belt. I like the way the Mavericks have played thus far and they could be a factor in the conference so I'll back them here...

Whiskey testers needed!
So we were having a design jam session the other night. We agreed we've nailed the White Whiskey. It's a great white, but now what? The thinking went along the lines of... Well, we've got those small barrels back there we can try some things with...and if we just use our carbon filtering prior to barreling, then leave the whisky down just long enough to get "barrel kissed" (sorry for the marketing-speak there.) Regardless, the whiskey would be a little brown, a little toasty, and have just a little vanilla note. In short, we're all more than just a little curious to see what it tastes like. So through the miracle of small-batch production, we're producing about 30 bottles of the stuff. And we're pushing back the next Open House a week to get it ready. So mark your calendars cause we're introducing an "alternate" Beat 3. Maybe we should call it "Batch 3.1"... or not.
Open House Saturday, April 19, 2014 - Samples will be available for your merciless criticism. And if you like the stuff, you can purchase one of these REALLY limited edition whiskeys.
See you there!
