PORTLAND, Ore. – In the week leading up to the Portland Timbers' season opener Saturday against the Philadelphia Union, head coach Caleb Porter talked a lot about getting the chemistry right among the group.
Now, after playing the Union to a 1-1 draw in a game that featured stretches where the Timbers seemed just a touch off, that quest is ongoing.
"I feel like we're definitely close," midfielder and captain Will Johnson said after a recent training session at Providence Park ahead of Sunday's home match against the Chicago Fire (3 pm ET, UniMas). "It's never going to be perfect in the first game of the year, and it wasn't. What I see is a little more urgency that we need. … I think it's shaking off the rust, I think it's integrating a couple new pieces and I think it's everybody finding their role."
Perhaps lost in the elevated expectations heaped on the Timbers this season – following last year's regular season Western Conference championship and first-ever trip to the MLS Cup playoffs in Porter's first season at the helm – is the fact that Portland are indeed bringing new pieces into the fold.
Striker Ryan Johnson, the team's second-leading goal scorer last year with nine goals, is now gone. In Johnson's place is 23-year-old Argentine Maximiliano Urruti, who only joined the club last summer and appeared in just five games.
And winger Rodney Wallace, who had seven goals last year, is out until the summertime after offseason knee surgery. In his place is Gaston Fernandez, another Argentine making his debut MLS season.
Portland's playmaker, Diego Valeri, also missed most of the preseason after recovering from offseason sports hernia surgery.
"The thing I keep reminding myself, and I think it's important that people remember, is we still have new guys up there," Porter said. "Gaston, Maxi is still a new player here, Diego's played a few games but he was injured, so we've got still some new pieces, some new moving parts. And we're getting that chemistry right still. It's going to take time."

Porter said that manifested itself during a 15- to 20-minute stretch in the first half against Philly that he said "gave them confidence and rattled us a little bit."
He said there were more turnovers, directly leading to Philly chances, than he would have liked.
"We have to do better playing out the back," Porter said. "If we're going to be a possession team, we can't give the ball away cheaply like we did."
He also said that once ball security improved in the second half, Portland started creating a lot of chances, but they still only managed two shots on goal for the game. It was a 93rd-minute header by Fernandez from a corner kick that led to the draw, while other chance were simply close calls, a shot blocked away at the last second or a cross just missing its mark.
"We need to be a little more opportunistic in those moments," Porter said. "A lot of times the chance has to happen quick."
Fortunately, they've got a little more time to get that mix just right.
"We're one game into the season so no time to hit the panic button," Johnson said. "But it's an area of weakness and one that we're addressing and one that we will improve."

I remember passing time as a kid playing tic tac toe. Even today I find myself playing this with my daughter frequently. There's just something about tic tac toe that sucks you in. But now that I am older and I understand tic tac toe better than my younger self I frequently end up in a draw with my kid. Peyton is quick and she is really good at tic tac toe. Well, now there's a new twist on an old favorite. Tic Stac Toe. It's similar to the tradition tic tac toe that we all love and grew up on. But instead of playing with a pencil and piece of paper now you play with game pieces and you build up. That's right. You read it correctly. You build up. You stack the pieces on top of one another and try to stop your opponent from getting 4 pieces in a row. You can win by getting 4 in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Talk about a game that takes concentration!
The first time we played this it felt weird. It was so different from all the times we played the traditional tic tac toe. But it was fun! Tic Stac Toe really gets you thinking and strategizing your next move. But you have to be aware of what the other player is doing too. I was constantly looking at the board and trying to make sure Peyton was not in a position that she would win on the next move while at the same time trying to position myself to win.
The game is suggested for 8 years old and up but Peyton is almost 6 and she was able to play. Granted she was not as fast as I was at seeing where the pieces could go or should go for the win. But that girl is awesome at patterns so she did give me a run for my money.
You can purchase your own Tic Stac Toe at Walmart, Toys R Us or Amazon.

NEW YORK -- Brandon Knight was designated for assignment Sunday so the New York Mets could add an extra arm to their bullpen after a 14-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals the previous night.
His consolation prize? Knight is headed to Beijing as a member of the U.S. Olympic team.
Knight said he would have preferred to stay with New York, where the 32-year-old filled in admirably for Pedro Martinez before leaving after five innings with a 5-4 lead. Instead, he's off to California to join Team USA for drug testing and introductions early next week.
"It's a no-lose situation," Knight said Saturday night.
The Mets called up left-hander Willie Collazo from Triple-A New Orleans after their relievers combined to pitch nine innings in the 10-8 loss to the Cardinals. Aaron Heilman went three innings and threw 57 pitches, giving up a go-ahead two-run homer to Albert Pujols in the 14th.
If the game would have pressed on, the Mets would have used starter Oliver Perez.
Collazo appeared in six games for New York last season and allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. He was 4-6 with a 4.08 ERA in 31 appearances this season at New Orleans.
"We needed another body," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said.
Manuel said he hopes Martinez will be ready to start Friday night against Houston. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has been on the bereavement list since his father, Pablo Jaime, died last week at age 79 after battling a form of brain cancer.
Martinez hasn't pitched since leaving his July 12 start with a sore shoulder and tightness in his groin. He would have to throw a simulated game early in the week to be ready for Friday, Manuel said, and even then would be held to a pitch count of 70-80 when he returned.
"It depends on how he's doing," Manuel said. "The pitch count is definitely important, but that's just a part of his history."
In other news, injured outfielder Ryan Church (post-concussion syndrome) had his bags packed and was joining his teammates on their upcoming trip to Florida.
Church did light physical activity again and could begin baseball activities at the team's facility in St. Lucie on Monday, Manuel said. He'll make at least a couple rehab starts and could be ready for the Mets' next homestand beginning Aug. 5 against San Diego.
"He'll travel with us today and, if all systems are go, we'll just leave him in St. Lucie," Manuel said. "He could say, 'Hey, I want to play in a game Tuesday.' ... We'll have to see."

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday at the main gate of a provincial police headquarters in southern Afghanistan, killing at least 11 people in a city where Afghans have recently taken control of security.
Separately, five international service members were killed Sunday.
The suicide bombing in Lashkar Gah was the latest in a string of attacks in the south in recent weeks that have included assassinations of high-level government officials in neighboring Kandahar and a coordinated attack against government buildings in Uruzgan province that killed 19 people last week.
The high-profile attacks have provoked a growing sense of insecurity in the very region where international military commanders say security has improved since the surge of U.S. troops last year. Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand province, in particular has been touted as a success story from the offensive by international forces -- one reason it was one of seven areas handed over to Afghan forces earlier this month.
The attack early Sunday, which ripped a gaping hole in the station compound's wall, killed 10 police officers and a child, and wounded as least 12 people, said Helmand provincial spokesman Daoud Ahmadi.

Debt relief opens road for more austerity: Greece
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has said that additional austerity measures could be imposed on the nation if the European lenders agree on a debt relief.
Tsipras said Sunday, while briefing his party members about the results of a meeting the previous day with eurozone finance ministers in Malta, that debt relief would be the condition for the government in Athens to implement cuts and meet budget savings.
"After Malta, the road opens for specifying measures on debt relief. This will send a clear message that the crisis is behind us," said Tsipras, adding, "What was decided in Malta ... renders the horizon for the country's exit from supervision visible."
The leftist Greek leader, who has repeatedly clashed with lenders on how his country could secure more bailouts, said Athens should be able to have debt relief measures in the near future in order to meet the demands of lenders. Tsipras said those measures should also allow the European Central Bank to include Greece in its mechanism for buying government bonds.
"Medium-term debt relief measures, able to include us in (the ECB's) quantitative easing, and a fiscal path that will not be unattainable, is the condition for us to implement the measures we decided," he told members of Syriza party's central committee.
During the meeting in Malta on Friday, Greece agreed to additional demands for cuts and reforms after its current 86-billion-euro bailout program expires in 2018. Athens should generate more income through spending cuts on pensions by one percent of its economic output in 2019 while it would be committed to save another one percent of its GDP by lowering the current income tax exemption threshold.
Greece's European lenders, namely the Eurozone governments and the ECB, had initially resisted demands by the International Monetary Fund for debt relief. The IMF had argued that Athens would not be able to service its mountain of debt and creditors should help the country back on its feet.

Quick listen and a good intro for those new to social marketing. The performance was a bit robotic.
"A half hour of listening."

Wow, confirmed trackpad wake now works and Genius button mapped to search works. Both of the issues I had last night are now gone!!!!
That was a pretty quick BETA!!!! Great testing UncleSpoon!
The only thing I have left on the wishlist is battery % and themes...which will eventually come!!
I for one do not want the genius button. I don't know how others feel? I think g-search is better. Genius Button is nearly bloat to me.
I think a flash-able zip for genius would be better. Hopefully more comments will follow to see what others think. Undeads zip worked great.

There were six Canadian NHL teams in action on Thursday night. Here's a quick look at how they fared.
Kadri picks up 4 points in OT thriller
It was a big night for Nazem Kadri, who picked up two goals and two assists, including the overtime winner, as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-5.
The Leafs allowed the Ducks to claw back with four unanswered goals, but rallied to tie the game 5-5 and send it to overtime. Three of the Leafs goals came on the power play.
The Ducks, despite the loss, clinched their fourth playoff berth in as many years with the single point they picked up.
Oilers spoil Sharks chance to clinch
The Edmonton Oilers stormed back with four goals in the second period to take a 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Patrick Maroon scored the go-ahead goal as Edmonton spoiled San Jose's opportunity to clinch a playoff berth. This is the second straight match that the Sharks missed their chance to secure a post-season spot.
Red Wings hold off Canadiens' rally
The Montreal Canadiens scored three goals in the final frame, but it was not enough to overcome a four-goal hole and the Detroit Red Wings held on for a 4-3 win.
Red Wings rookie Anthony Mantha, a Quebec native, reached his first career milestone. The 21-year-old scored his first NHL goal with his grandfather and former Habs player André Pronovost in attendance.
Parise scores 3 in 1st, leading Wild over Flames
It took Zach Parise a single period to register his third hat trick of the season in the Minnesota Wild's 6-2 win over the Calgary Flames. The 11 minutes and 12 seconds it took for Parise to score three is the fastest in the team's history.
Jared Spurgeon also scored two power-play goals for the Wild, who hold the Western Conference's last wild-card position.
It was former Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom's first return to Minnesota since being traded to the Flames.
Jets' late push sinks Kings
The Winnipeg Jets had a burst of offence in the third period to hand the Los Angeles Kings their third-straight loss.
Dustin Byfuglien, Paul Postma and Drew Stafford scored to close out the game and propel the hosts to a 4-1 victory.
Winnipeg's win means they are not yet mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
Canucks lose 6th straight
The Vancouver Canucks were unable to snap their now six-game losing streak, falling 3-2 to the Nashville Predators.
The Predators scored two goals with under 10 minutes remaining in the third period to tie the game, sending it to overtime. Craig Smith scored in the eventual shootout to complete the rally.

* In order for me to support my blogging activities, I may receive monetary compensation or other types of remuneration for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial and/or link to any products or services from this blog. Affiliate links will have an asterisk (*) next to them. Please read my disclosure here.*
Recently I wrote a post where I discussed why I decided to pay for help as I worked through the process of deciding to stay or leave my job. I was literally away from my home around 10 hours each day and even though I love grocery shopping (food and cooking) I just didn't have the energy or the time to always go shopping. So I decided to use a local grocery service to get the bulk of my groceries delivered.
I Loved It
I loved coming home from my long commute and having a box of food waiting for me. In retrospect the amount of time this service freed up for me was priceless. Now, there is an even better service than the one that I used. That service is Thrive Market.
If you love organic and natural food and need to cut your grocery shopping time and manage your food expenses better I encourage you to sign up today.*
Thrive Market*
Thrive Market* is an online organic and natural market that carries all of the yummy and delicious products that you can find at Whole Foods/Sprouts/and other natural grocers. As you know I am particular about the quality of the food that I eat. Even at my most frugal I do not, I repeat, do not eat bad food because I believe that one of the most important things I must do is take care of my health.
Examples of what I like to eat:
- Justin's Peanut Butter (made in Colorado!)
- Better Than Bullion-the best broth base ever for soups, etc.
- Shelf-stable Nut Milks (Almond/Soy/etc.)
Thrive Market has the items and more. If you are crazy busy, a parent with tons going on, or just need to free up time in your weekly schedule so that you can focus on what's important this is a wonderful service to use.
The Details
- Cost:You do pay a yearly membership fee of $59.95 which is the equivalent of about $5 a month.
- Please note: shipping is free for purchases over $49 (which shouldn't be difficult to do).
- The website-carries items ranging from: baby food, spices, grains, canned beans, and more.
- Shipping-Items will be packed and shipped out within 24-72 hours of your order and you will receive a tracking code that you can use to track your order. Here is the link to the track order page HERE.
Paying It Forward
Whenever I share a product or service that I love I always try to find one that pays it forward. Thrive Market meets that self-imposed standard.
One of the best parts of being a member is knowing that for every paid membership a free membership will be given to a family in need. I love this and we all deserve to eat well! This program is called Thrive Gives here is the link if you would like more information about the program or would like to see if you qualify for a free membership.
Who This Is For?
- People who enjoy good food!
- For people who need to free up time so that they can focus on the important stuff.
- People who feel comfortable cooking and have an idea of what they need each week.
Additional Logistics
Whenever you are placing an order make sure that you have the items delivered to a secure place. When I used to work at the office I would always have my packages delivered to work (unless they were crazy heavy).
If you know that you will be away from home during the day make sure that you have thought out where you would like your packages delivered. I don't want you on t.v. showing a video of some jerk taking your stuff off your porch while you're at work.
Take care of yourself, eat well, and help others. Win, win, win. I love Thrive Market* and think you will too.

Mission: Magic! Cartoon Online
Mission: Magic! Cartoon Online
First of all i don't even remember how many times I recommended this cartoon to people. This is the last cartoon that I watched and really enjoyed in my life. Mission: Magic! is by far the best online cartoon build up I've ever seen. I was so impressed with that cartoon that I ended up watching it eleven times in cinema and few times watch online. I especially love in Mission: Magic! the soundtrack, it is one of the greatest cartoon soundtracks ever. I walked into this cartoon totally blind. I knew nothing about it, even never saw a trailer... In my opinion the reveal isn't the film's strength, it's the build up that is so freaking amazing. Not that the ending is bad at all. Wonderful film. Althought it is very underrated cartoon. And most importantly this is a cartoon which restores your faith in Humanity and the true power of compassion. This website is really great for watching cartoon, you can watch new cartoon without downloading anything in best quality for free. What's even better, here is almost any high quality film online, and almost every one of them is in 1080p or 720p HD. That's what I like the most. I just bought this cartoon and decided to upload full cartoon here, and other cartoon that are online now totally for free, and now everyone can watch this cartoon online for free. You can also download this full cartoon in hindi here. I offer this free cartoon with subtitles. Even netflix and hulu don't offer such great HQ cartoon available on all devices, iPad, iPhone, Android and Smart TV. To sum it up, I must announce the new Era of online cartoon streaming. If we can spread the word, there won't be any more people asking "Where can I watch Mission: Magic! online?" or "Where can I download Mission: Magic! online for free?", because well. It's all available right here, right now. I wish I could be born again to not know this cartoon and watch it like first time again...

'That's his ex-wife, who is an ex-prostitute' Who were Corbyn and Cameron gossiping about?
THEY are enemies on the front benches but even David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn can't resist sharing a bit of gossip.
Mr Corbyn and the Prime Minister were chatting during a wait in Parliament
The Prime Minister and the Labour leader were caught having a chat while waiting for Chinese President Xi Jinping to deliver his speech yesterday.
Lip-readers are said to have picked up a story by Mr Corbyn in which he says: "It was difficult because, erm, that's his ex-wife who is, erm, apparently an ex-prostitute."
Mystery surrounds who the topic of conversation was.
It was difficult because, erm, that's his ex-wife who is, erm, apparently an ex-prostitute
Mr Corbyn's office later denied he mentioned the word ex-prostitute but declined to say what was really said.
During the chat, Mr Cameron is then said to have responded with a non-committal "Oh", before he turns the chat to a more serious matter of self-employment figures being gradually down.
Mr Corbyn is then said to have began a witty anecdote about his school days.
He said: "I remember I lost my glasses at a school party. I must've been about three at the time."
It is not known what the Labour leader then said but Mr Cameron was seen to have burst out laughing, during the wait at Parliament.
Lip-readers said Mr Corbyn mentioned an ex-prostitute in his chat with Mr Cameron
The pair also discussed self-employment figures
Their good humoured exchange occurred as they sat in the Royal Gallery at Parliament on Tuesday waiting for the Chinese President to address a gathering of MPs and peers.
Jeremy Corbyn and President during their meeting
Mr Corbyn's spokesman yesterday rejected reports of the exchange. He advised one journalist to "get a better lip reader."
"No such conversation took place," the spokesman added.
It came during a busy day for the British politicians and the Chinese delegation, which saw an agreement made for a £30billion trade deal for the Asian country to run nuclear power plants in Britain.
The Prime Minister has defended the deals after China has continually come under fire for its poor human rights record.
The Chinese president with Mr Cameron yesterday
Beijing is also blamed for hitting the British steel industry after flooding the UK with cheap steel imports.
Mr Cameron said: "We are building Crossrail under the streets of London right now, employing almost exclusively British steel.
"So I reject the idea you either have a conversation about human rights and steel or you have a strong relationship with China."

Certified payroll practitioners are leaders of their profession, personifying community, professionalism and authoritative payroll compliance knowledge.
The Canadian Payroll Association welcomed 212 newly certified Payroll Compliance Practitioners and 11 Certified Payroll Managers at Quebec Region Certification Recognition Events in April. Gatineau's Josée Arbour achieved Bronze honours for top marks in the Quebec Region.
MONTREAL (April 28, 2015) – This April, the Canadian Payroll Association proudly hosts its 10th annual PCP and CPM Certification Recognition Events across Canada, celebrating the success of newly certified Payroll Compliance Practitioners (PCP) and Certified Payroll Managers (CPM). In Quebec, the Association welcomed 212 newly certified PCPs and 11 new CPMs. Among these graduates were Regional Award Winners Johanne Hould (from Quebec City), Sylvie Lamarche (from Blainville) and Josée Arbour (from Gatineau), who demonstrated outstanding academic excellence by earning the top marks of all Quebec candidates for core PCP certification payroll compliance courses. The Association congratulates these Regional Award Winners and all new PCP and CPM graduates.
Two Regional Award Winners who achieved top marks attended the Montreal event- LEFT, Blainville's Sylvie Lamarche (Silver); RIGHT, Quebec City's Johanne Hould (Gold), CENTRE, Chair Marie-Lyne Dion.
Gatineau's Josée Arbour (on the second photo) achieved Bronze honours for top marks in the Quebec Region.
Each year the Canadian Payroll Association welcomes a growing number of newly certified PCP and CPM payroll professionals – the only recognized payroll certifications in Canada. For these graduates, certification represents the culmination of hard work and dedicated study in the Association's PCP and CPM programs. The Payroll Compliance Practitioner program creates the foundation for a successful career in payroll, providing students with the authoritative compliance knowledge required to process an organization's annual payroll cycle, effectively communicate payroll information to all stakeholders, and understand the accounting function as it relates to payroll. The Certified Payroll Manager program builds upon this compliance knowledge and develops additional management skills and competencies, for experienced payroll practitioners whose career goals include managing a payroll department.
Graduates in Quebec are among 3,000 new payroll professionals recognized at 17 events across the country. In addition to recognizing award winners by region, the Association awards Gold, Silver, and Bronze honours to the top three academic performers nationwide. National Award Winners will be recognized on Awards Night during the Canadian Payroll Association's Annual Conference, taking place from June 2nd to June 5th, 2015 in Quebec City.
Newly certified PCPs and CPMs join a community of over 14,000 certified payroll professionals, including 10,900 Payroll Compliance Practitioners and 3,100 Certified Payroll Managers. Canada's 1.5 million employers rely on these payroll professionals for timely and accurate payment of $865 billion in wages and benefits annually, along with $290 billion in statutory remittances and $163 billion in health and retirement benefits, all while complying with more than 190 federal and provincial regulatory requirements.
"The Association congratulates our newly certified Payroll Compliance Practitioners and Certified Payroll Managers" said Canadian Payroll Association's Vice-President of Education Steven Van Alstine. "These certified payroll professionals have proven they can help raise the standards of payroll compliance management across the profession and in their own organizations."

Dear NappyValleyNetter,

If your ex boyfriend does not want you back after a breakup, you will not see him running back to your arms. However men can be foolish sometimes and they let something small get their drawers in a knot and they run off to sulk. He may still love you and want you but he won't let himself or anyone else know it. That means it is up to you to make your ex see how much he needs you in his life.
There are many tactics you can use that will make your ex boyfriend want you again, but to use them you have to understand how a man's mind works. Once you learn how to appeal to your guy by using male psychology to push his emotional hot buttons, you will not only make him want you again, but he will never want to be without you again.
However you won't be able to control your ex boyfriend's emotions until you learn to control your own. If you have been sending text and telling your ex how much you need him, you have to stop doing it immediately! If you have been calling him or stalking him, that has to stop too. Your ex boyfriend sees these actions as unappealing and it will push him farther away.
The best psychology you can use on a man who is being stubborn and refusing to communicate with you is to show him you don't need him. It is a well known fact that most men have big ego's and cannot stand to be ignored. As long as you are throwing yourself at him, he knows that you are his for good. Why should he worry about getting something back that he already has?
But, if he sees you making a life without him, it becomes a whole new ball game. He knows you are desirable and that anytime some guy could take you away from him for good. If he hears of you being out having fun, he is going to want to know if he still has a hold on you. That may tempt your ex boyfriend to text you and ask how you are doing.
When you receive that text, you will be on cloud nine and want to text him back and tell him how much you have missed him and of your love for him. However, if you answer that text, you may never hear from him again. Your ex will know he has nothing to worry about where you are concerned. If you don't answer the text, your ex will probably text you again and if you don't answer this text, he will be forced to call you.
This is exactly what you want, but be sure you have your emotions under control when you take his call. If you are cheerful and only make small talk, your ex boyfriend will ask if you still love him. At that point. hesitate and then say that you will always want to be friends. Don't mention love. This will drive him crazy and it won't be long before he will be telling you he wants you back.

TACOMA: Lincoln Center also deserves recognition
In the Tacoma School District, Lincoln Center has been making huge advances with their kids, yet you hear more about SAMI or SOTA.
There is this feeling of superiority that the teachers and administrators have because they work at the Science and Math Institute or the School of the Arts and get all of this publicity about making such a difference in the Tacoma schools. There is this districtwide opinion that these schools are the pride and joy of the district, and Lincoln Center is merely the younger sibling who can never compare to either SAMI or SOTA.
I don't …

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Scotland were the ancestors of the first people to use the name Doro. It comes from in Darroch in Stirlinghsire. The name could also be derived a form of the lost name MacDara which meant son of oak and others believe the name is from Dath riabhach. Literally, the name comes from the Gaelic "darach" which means "oak tree."
Doro Early Origins

Doro Spelling Variations
Doro Spelling Variations
Translation has done much to alter the appearance of many Scottish names. It was a haphazard process that lacked a basic system of rules. Spelling variations were a common result of this process. Doro has appeared Darroch, Darrow, Darrach, Daroch, Darach, Darragh, Darrogh, Darrioch, Darraugh, Darrough and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many Scots left their country to travel to the North American colonies in search of the freedom they could not find at home. Of those who survived the difficult voyage, many found the freedom they so desired. There they could choose their own beliefs and allegiances. Some became United Empire Loyalists and others fought in the American War of Independence. The Clan societies and highland games that have sprung up in the last century have allowed many of these disparate Scots to recover their collective national identity. A search of immigration and passenger ship lists revealed many early settlers bearing the Doro name: Anne Darrow, who arrived in Virginia in 1652; Jane Darrow, who came to Barbados in 1660; Sgt. George Darrow (b. circa 1652 in Scotland), who was on record in New London, Connecticut, in 1675.

ATLANTA — The supply of chicken sandwiches and french fries inside the visiting locker room at Philips Arena was severely diminished because the two Sonics with the largest appetites got first dibs at the postgame spread.
While their teammates finished off the Atlanta Hawks in an efficient 94-79 victory yesterday, center Jerome James and forward Danny Fortson showered, dressed and snacked before everyone else after they were ejected in the second half by official Bob Delaney.
Still, the meal didn't satiate the angry emotions that each felt after what they believed were disputable offenses.
James pleaded innocence, but offered little evidence to support his claim.
The 7-foot-1 center had been assessed a pair of fouls earlier in the game for setting illegal screens, and his frustrations reached a breaking point after he collected another foul on a similar play with 7:14 remaining in the third quarter.
He walked toward Delaney, leaned over the official and barked an insult in his face, bringing the ejection.
Delaney then had choice words for James after the center took a seat on the bench.
The Sonics knew Delaney wasn't in a good mood after he chided Hawks coach Mike Woodson, who crossed midcourt to dispute a call in the second quarter.
"Hey, get back," Delaney said, his voice echoing through the half-empty arena. "Get over there."
"I knew after he went after their coach what type of game it was," Fortson said. "Still, what I did, c'mon. I shouldn't have gotten thrown out for that."
Fortson seemed to have a reason to complain after he reacted to a hard foul against him from Tyronn Lue by placing his hand on the point guard's chest.
Delaney quickly intervened, gave Fortson a technical and sent him to the locker room.
Afterward, coach Nate McMillan said both ejections were indefensible, believing that Fortson had received an earlier technical.
"Will somebody please help me out here," Fortson said afterward. "These guys are looking at me, just itching to throw me out, and for what? Stuff I did in the past. Please. Let that go."
All-Star balloting
The second All-Star balloting returns are in, and Ray Allen is the only Sonic among the top 10 at his position in the Western Conference. He has 476,857 votes from fans, fewer than half the votes for Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant. Allen also trails Steve Nash by 63,290 votes.
Despite averaging 21.3 points, Rashard Lewis still has not made a significant impression among fans, whose deadline for voting is Jan. 23. It's unlikely that Lewis will start in the Feb. 20 game, but he could be added to the West team by head coaches.
Lewis is also a candidate to participate in the three-point-shooting contest, but said "I promised myself that I wouldn't go back there unless I could play on Sunday (in the All-Star Game)."
If asked, he said he'll nominate Vladimir Radmanovic, who is shooting 39.4 percent on threes. Lewis, Seattle's second-leading three-point shooter at 40.5 percent, has twice participated in the event.
• Radmanovic has battled with bouts of inconsistency since arriving to the NBA in 2001, so his recent two-game stretch in which he's made just 3 of 19 shots isn't causing anyone to panic yet.
• Musician Bruce Hornsby, a friend of Sonics CEO Wally Walker, is traveling with the Sonics for the first three games of their five-game trip.

Oh my god. Microsoft is going under. This is the end of the Xbox One.
Sarcasm intended. I love how level headed Xbots suddenly become once bad news hits about MS. Insta optimists.
Cue all the dumb people who will believe anything they hear saying "This is going to be the savior of gaming, this will destroy the PS4 and XB1"
Juuuuuuust like when Ouya was announced and look how that turned out ahahahaha.
The term RPG is not solely defined by games like Final Fantasy. It is called Role Playing Game, which means there are certain elements of a game which make it an RPG. Fallout and Elder Scrolls are both RPG's, that is 100% correct, you can't say "they are barely RPG's" just because they don't look like Final Fantasy.
Because no one cares about Wii U.
Putting good game ideas on the Wii U is basically pointless, actually it is less than pointless, it is just stupid.
The Wii U is a failure, financially and based on market reaction. It is too late for a come back and Ninty need to realise that. But they won't.
ATB is the epitome of a modern and fast paced turn based battle system.
FFX-2 had the best battle system of ANY final fantasy game.
Haha, with all the stretch goals added, yes, yes there will be a major delay.
WHAT?! Really?!?!
So you're basically saying that Titanfall has seen a 90% decrease in sales in it's second week. WOW. That's NOT a good thing dude. It basically says most of it's sales are from die hard fanboys.
Compare that to Infamous' 67% decrease LOL
2 games a year is absolutely too much.
So you are saying Augmented reality could be a competitor to virtual reality....
I hope they can do it before I die. Then I want to transfer my consciousness into a game.
Well of course this game will have DLC content.
When the Paper Trail DLC was announced I am fairly certain they said it would include a new power, so obviously Paper.
After 2 games of electricity powers, I think that would be a huge cop out.
The 4 different powers that we currently have, each fit a role more so then unique powers. (Spoilers)
Neon: Long range fighting/best and fastest mode of transport
Smoke: More of a full frontal assault skill set. I use this when I just want to smash everything to pieces.
Video: More of a guerilla skillset. Allows you to get in, cause damage, and get out.
Concrete: Tank. Damage soaking with limited attack.
Each has it's own play styl...
Playing inFamous has actually made me really excited for Watch_Dogs.
Maybe it is the open world feel, maybe I miss the open world genre.
Industry 'insiders' have been the source of countless leaks which turned out to be true.
Microsoft's DRM policies were outed by an insider.
Developers don't really provide us with much information, so industry insiders are becoming more and more popular, and proving to be good sources of unofficial information.
No, no it's not.
There are SO many doom and gloomers in the community.
Things are progressing as normal, as they always have. Companies expand, companies shrink, people move from company to company, console to console.
That is the way of the industry.
The reason why everyone is crying about all this is that most people who are vocal on the internet are not used to that.
Cept 343 didn't do it.
I definitely think that Uncharted and God of War should be given a rest.
Those titles have been the same thing year after year after year.
Because Epic are not a studio which needs to rely on clutch titles.
Also, Gears isn't the money maker it used to be, it is a console exclusive for starters, and the last 2 gears games sucked, which lost a lot of fans.
Also, why would they lie about it?

Chattanooga Field Trip + Weekly Meal Plan
Hello Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours started out crazy and then slowed down considerably which was wonderful. My mom came into town on Thursday night to help with the kids so that I could go on an all-day field trip with Brantley and her FOCUS class. Scott had an event all day Friday and was unable to take the other kids to school, so Bammy picked up the slack and then some! I wanted to share[Read more]

It's been about three weeks since Kim Kardashian, 33, and Kanye West, 37, tied the knot in a lavish Italian wedding in Florence, but on Wednesday, the reality star finally posted a snapshot on her Instagram account of her rapper hubby and 11-month-old daughter, North West, all in their dashing wedding attire.
"My everything," she wrote alongside the image of the gorgeous family.
According to E! News, this was the first shot of the married couple taken on the roof of the iconic Forte di Belvedere.
Of course by now we've all seen Kardashian's gorgeous lace Givenchy Haute Couture gown, but this is the first image that we've seen of North from the wedding sporting her pint-sized Givenchy number.
Kardashian's sister, Khloé, 29, also took to Instagram to share an intimate photo from the big day. It shows West standing, with his back to the camera, in a room addressing the Kardashian and Jenner gals (minus the bride) as baby North sits on her auntie's lap. Khloé used a simple caption and heart symbol to describe the snapshot: "Family".
"The image was taken right after Kim and Kanye wed," Khloé told E! News. "We were all discussing how calm and dream-like the wedding was. The peace in Kim and Kanye was undeniable. We all felt as if they had been married in another lifetime. I have always believed these two are soul mates."
What do you think of Baby North's dress? Share below in the comments section!

"Floating Vibes" - Surfer Blood
"Floating Vibes" has that deep guitar thing going right away, which I always find gratifying. And which always makes me wonder why rock'n'roll has so consistently (and, to my ears, stupidly) glorified the sound of a wailing guitar played so high up on the neck that there's no room left for the guitarist's fingers. I'll take the robust, thoughtful tremor of the lowest register over screechy wails any day. And check out the countervailing seventh notes that begin appearing at 0:20, floating with offhand precision above the darker sound, the quasi-dissonance of that interval perking the ear up in a most welcome and curious way. This song is pretty great before singer John Paul Pitts--known merely as JP--opens his mouth.
And it gets better. The basic guitar refrain of the introduction becomes the verse melody, with the seventh-note question marks now removed, giving the melody a newly grounded sense of certainty. The harmonies that accompany the melody the second time through (1:00) are subtle and ingenious--the harmony voice is pretty much singing one note--and solidify the melodic construction so firmly that the song never returns to it. It turns out that for all its easy-going tunefulness, "Floating Vibes" is subversive with respect to form: there is no standard chorus and no verse that repeats throughout the song. Rather, there are three different verse melodies, separated by instrumental breaks. The first is the one rooted in the introduction, the second is introduced at an instrumental break at 1:16, and the third (2:35) is a kind of mash-up of the first two. The final instrumental section moves onto yet another melody and features a violin, as unexpected as it is effective.
Surfer Blood is a quintet of non-surfers from West Palm Beach. "Floating Vibes" is the lead track from Astro Coast, the band's debut, slated for released in January on Brooklyn-based Kanine Records. MP3 via Pitchfork.

Munich/Oxford. The MINI Cooper S Roadster has scooped
the title of best open-top at the prestigious What Car? Car of the
Year Awards 2013. Chas Hallett, editor of What Car? said: "MINIs are
all about fun and the Roadster delivers it in spades – in fact we
think it's the most fun MINI yet. Drop the roof and the MINI Roadster
feels like a modern-day version of classic British sports cars such as
the MGB and Lotus Elan – only better."
The award comes hot on the heels of MINI's record breaking sales year in the UK, with the brand recording 51,234 vehicle registrations in 2012, the highest since the brand's launch in 2001. The MINI Roadster was launched in the UK in April 2012 and the two seat soft-top has exceeded initial sales expectations. Built at MINI Plant Oxford, the MINI Roadster reincarnates the spirit of classic British roadsters by combining a high quality interior with class leading engines, delivering MINI's hallmark agility and 'go-kart' handling.

Google seems to be blocking certain searches
I have some insight into what the most common search terms are today for the NSFW Former Naval Person blog. What I see gives the impression that Google in the United States is blocking certain search terms. People are finding the prohibited content using search engines, such as Altavista, Yahoo Image Search, and Google and Google Image Search from other than the United States. Even Google from Canada can find the content, but people can't from the United States, using Google.

This is the beginning of the season when the scale tips and more people go north than come south.
It happens every year at the end of February or beginning of March. Today two Pioneer Trail buses left, plus the Elite went back to Lancaster PA.
Both of these men attended Pleasant Hill School but not at the same time. I am just guessing Wayne Mast is ten years older than John Keim.
My cousin's grandson is waving good-bye to his uncles who are on this bus, going north.
Mary Ellen Troyer
Does anybody know who the couple is on he left?
After the buses leave people linger and visit. I love watching the interaction.
