Brooke's wonderful Oxnard House – where she and her family spend their weekends on the water.
Interior Designer Brooke Giannetti of the blog Velvet and Linen visited us at the Skirted Roundtable this week and the time just flew by. The three of us, Linda, Megan and myself, were mesmerized just listening to Brooke talk about her business, her family, her design aesthetic – even how a beautiful room is an emotional experience for her. I think the three of us just wanted to hear every word she said – we all admire her so much. I told Brooke that the first time I had ever heard of her was after Villa Anna posted pictures of her Oxnard house. Even though it was a year ago, I remember it very, very clearly. The picture, above, of her weekend house sent me into a jealous tailspin! OMG – WHAT a darling house!!!!! Look at that clock! The slipcovers! The fireplace! The tufted chairs! I loved everything in the house and had to find out who owned it and what she was all about. It was the beginning of a true love fest for me and I became obsessed with everything Brooke – her portfolio, her Santa Monica house, her shop, her husband's work, their web site – you name it, I wanted to know all about it. That first night I spent more than a few hours on Brooke's web site poring over all the houses she and Steve had designed together and apart.
The breakfast area at Oxnard – with antique shutters, wicker chairs, and wonderful oil paintings.
What I did learn though, was besides being fabulously talented, Brooke is a nice person. This past year, she and I have exchanged countless emails, and every time I've asked her for help or advice, she has always come through for me, always lending an ear. Many times she's just been there – a good friend I've never even "met."
I mean, what is there not to love about a girl who tears down the wall between her bedroom and bathroom and puts up curtains instead, and who even has a bathtub we all have lusted after?
So, naturally, I was thrilled when I learned Brooke was coming on the Skirted Roundtable this week. She talked all about interior design, how she started out, and everything in between. She is such a doll – inside and out. To find out everything about Brooke you didn't know before, be sure to listen HERE - I think you'll be as glued to your seat as we were!

Home » Services » General Ultrasound » Thyroid and Neck Ultrasound
Thyroid ultrasound
A thyroid ultrasound is an imaging method used to see the thyroid -- a gland in the neck that regulates metabolism.
How the Test is Performed
Ultrasound is a painless method that uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. The test is usually done in the ultrasound or radiology department.
You will lie with your neck extended beyond its usual limit (hyperextended). The ultrasound technician will place a gel onto your neck. Next, the technician will move a transducer, over the area.
The transducer gives off sound waves. The sound waves go through the body and bounce off the area being studied (in this case, the thyroid gland). A computer looks at the pattern that the sound waves create when bouncing back, and creates an image..
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
How the Test Will Feel
You should feel very little discomfort with this test. The gel may be cold.
Why the Test is Performed
A thyroid ultrasound is usually done when you have a growth on your thyroid gland. The exam can help tell the difference between a sac containing fluid (cyst) and abnormal tissue that may or may not be cancerous (a tumor).
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed include the following:
- Colloid nodular goitre
- Medullary carcinoma of thyroid
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) II
- Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid
- Thyroid cancer
There are no documented risks of ultrasound.
These examinations are bulk billed for Medicare card holders.

How to manage social media on the cheap
Stop throwing money at expensive social media management tools. These options do a good job at little cost.
A while back I wrote a post on the best social media management tools for small-business owners. I researched and reviewed a handful of the least expensive, most versatile options, but the comments included some lesser-known alternatives that seemed worth investigating.
I checked them out, using the same parameters I used to gauge the initial set of tools. Any tool I considered must enable you to:
- Schedule posts.
- Connect numerous social media accounts.
- Provide analytics.
- Shorten URLs.
Here are some additional options for small-business owners in need of a cost-effective social media management tool:
1. Sendible
Price: Sendible starts at $9.99 a month for eight accounts and offers plans up to $99.99 for 120 accounts.
Platforms: Sendible offers a Web application, mobile apps for iPhone and Android, and a mobile Web version.
In addition to offering low-cost plans, Sendible enables you to manage your Google+ pages, which is still a rare feature among social media management tools. (Note that this is limited to Google+ pages, as opposed to your individual profile or stream.)
The service also supports Facebook (profiles and pages), Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr, Ning, Bebo and a number of other options. The full array of services you can connect to Sendible is impressive, so most business owners should be able to manage their social media efforts quite easily. Sendible does not offer a free plan, however, which is a drawback.
2. Viralheat
Price: Viralheat is free for seven social accounts, and offers plans up to $499 a month for 50 accounts.
Platforms: Viralheat has a Web application (Chrome extension available).
Viralheat also connects a robust assortment of networks (including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+), offers robust analytics (including sentiment analysis for paid accounts; basic account analytics are free), has URL shortening via Bit.ly integration, and enables scheduled posts. My favorite feature is that it enables geo-targeted sharing to Facebook.
In short, Viralheat is a versatile social media management tool, and well worth considering.
3. Jugnoo
Price: Jugnoo is free for up to three team members managing 20 accounts, and $20 a month for five team members and unlimited accounts. Custom pricing is available for larger teams.
Platforms: There is a Web application and mobile Web version.
What you get for free with Jugnoo is impressive. You can link up to 20 social media accounts managed by up to three team members. You also get access to Web, Google and social media analytics, which makes Jugnoo highly appealing. And if you need to connect additional accounts or give access to more team members, it costs just $20 per month. Jugnoo has a custom pricing model as well.
Fresh out of beta, this lesser-known option added some new features recently, including link previews and rich media embeds.
Scheduled posts are enabled through BufferApp, which is also a good way for business owners to manage their social networks.
Among free and low-cost scheduling options, HootSuite is still the reigning champion. This is in part because its widespread use means there are many plugins and informational resources available. There are some other viable contenders for small-business owners to consider, however.
I investigated some of the platforms mentioned by commenters on my previous post. Although helpful, they do not fully meet the criteria outlined above:
1. Agora Pulse
Agora Pulse offers granular management of your Facebook pages, from scheduling posts to managing contests, but it's limited to Facebook.
2. Engagio
Engagio is a discovery tool, as opposed to a social media management tool. This service enables you to monitor and engage with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and more through an inbox message format. Although helpful, this service lacks analytics and the ability to schedule posts, both of which are critical to small-business owners.
3. Bottlenose
Still in beta, Bottlenose is a helpful tool for monitoring Facebook and Twitter feeds, LinkedIn, and more. The service offers some ability to engage by posting to linked accounts.
Although Bottlenose is potentially useful for individuals, small-business owners need a tool that provides a more holistic management capability (this includes scheduling posts). The company is planning a pro version, which might have additional functions.
4. Bundle Post
This service takes your existing RSS feed and makes it easy for you to select stories that would be of interest to your online audience. You can export prepared posts to a spreadsheet that Bundle Post will upload to HootSuite.
With minimal effort beyond scanning your news feeds, you've scheduled informative, helpful posts to go out over the course of the day, keeping you top of mind for your audience. It's a great tool, but it works in concert with HootSuite as opposed to providing an alternative to it.
Options abound for small-business owners to customize no- or low-cost social media management solutions.
What tools do you recommend?

There's always something with the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Which is probably why they're our favorite of the Housewives franchises. The ladies can never keep the drama or the fashions tame and understated. As the ladies have been making the media rounds to promote the upcoming season, one key member of the cast has been conspicuously absent.
Teresa Giudice has been keeping a lowish profile as of late – at least where the RHONJ is concerned – and focusing on her other reality venture, Celebrity Apprentice. Apparently that's a calculated move on her co-tarts' part as they are refusing to do any publicity with her! Eeks.
"It is so ugly between Teresa and the rest of the cast that they can't even be in the same room with each other," a network insider tells The Huffington Post. "But this isn't one-sided, and the hate goes both ways. Caroline Manzo, Kathy Wakile, Jacqueline Laurita, and Melissa Gorga want nothing to do with Teresa, and she wants nothing to do with them."
And apparently the cast is yet again blaming Teresa for all of this season's drama. "This season is the most dramatic yet,"
Melissa one cast member reveals. "It got so ugly that I'm not sure any of us will want to return for another season if Teresa remains on the show. The betrayal and backstabbing is heartbreaking. I have not seen how it will be all edited together yet, but let's just say everyone will get to see [Teresa's] true colors."

KINGS MOUNTAIN - More jobs are on their way to Cleveland County.
STEAG Energy Services announced Friday plans to create 29 new jobs and invest $6 million in the next three years at the Kings Mountain plant.
STEAG began operations in the Kings Mountain facility, formerly occupied by Anvil Knitwear, in 2006 with an announcement to create 21 full-time jobs. Since 2006 the company has grown to more than 50 employees and now plans to expand production capacity.
In April, the company announced an expansion of 15 full-time jobs and an investment of $3 million.
�STEAG Energy Services, LLC., is very excited to move forward with expansion plans for our Kings Mountain facility," said STEAG CFO Brigitte Hartenstein in a written statement. "The support from the City of Kings Mountain, Cleveland County, and the State of North Carolina were critical in the final decision for the expansion to occur here. This has been a very successful location for our firm and we look forward to growing the operation and continued success."
The company specializes in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) installations, flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) systems and ammonia injection technology.
�There are few companies in Cleveland County that have experienced the consistent growth that STEAG has enjoyed since their initial announcement here in 2006," said Ken Mooney, of the Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership. "STEAG has been a great fit for the old Anvil Knitwear building and we are glad to see them continue create good jobs here and continue to invest in the property and bring it back to life once again as a productive manufacturing facility.�
The Cleveland County Economic Development Partnership has announced 885 new jobs this year from new and expanding industry projects and over $932 billion in capital investment in Cleveland County.

|Pear blossoms: it's spring time in Melbourne
There are a couple of major challenges which, depending on decisions outside our control, may either open up or close down this career option for midwives.
- (affordable and appropriate) professional indemnity insurance: This is a global problem, and next week in the UK "Due to new EU legislation that demands all health professionals possess indemnity insurance by October 25, independent midwives will be rendered illegal overnight – unable to pay the premiums of £20,000 per year, which for some is more than their annual salary." (The Telegraph) and
- hospital visiting access
Professional indemnity insurance
One of the wonders of the digital era for me as a blogger is that I can retrieve what I have written in the past. A search of 'insurance' on this site took me to posts I had written in mid 2009, when the decisions about not indemnifying midwives for privately attended homebirth were made by the government.
Then came the news that we would be given a 2-year exemption for homebirth. That exemption has been extended a couple of times, and is now in place until 2015.
The two options for private midwife insurance are products marketed by MIGA and Vero Mediprotect. The former is underwritten by the Treasury, and indemnifies midwives for claims arising out of their practice, as long as the birth is in a hospital where the midwife has been credentialed for clinical privileges. If a MIGA-insured midwife attends a woman who plans to give birth in the home, she/he does so uninsured.
The Vero Mediprotect insurance is several thousand dollars cheaper than its competitor, does not have any government underwriting, and does not have any intrapartum (birth) cover. Since hospital visiting access is available to only a few midwives in the S-E corner of Queensland, the only indemnity cover most midwives need is for antenatal and postnatal services.
Why is professional indemnity insurance (PII) mandated?
The Australian governments have been committed to mandatory PII for many years. I know this because I was a member of the Nurses Board of Victoria (NBV) for three years 1999-2001, and I sat on the legislation committee.
Until that time, midwives had been able to buy PII that was capped at 5 or 10 million dollars. Then the bottom fell out of the global PII market, and the underwriters (Lloyds of London) ceased providing cover for midwives. This effect was passed down to the Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) which, until then, had included PII cover for all members within their membership fee. ANF continued to provide PII cover for all members EXCEPT independent midwives.
When I informed the NBV of the fact that all independent midwives were now without PII, an attempt was made to have me resign quietly. I resisted, and with the support of other members of the Board, retained my position. I attempted to argue that if the government was intending to mandate *something* (in this case, PII) of all health professionals, it was the job of the government to ensure that that *something* was accessible and affordable. If the provision of that *something*, PII for midwives, was delegated to the insurance industry, the insurance industry became a de facto second tier of regulation of the midwifery profession. The insurance industry's first commitment is not to what's called 'public interest'; safety and wellbeing of mothers and their babies. The insurance industry is a business that exists to make money for its shareholders.
I would love to see a test case in which some brilliant lawyer could argue that this free market situation, where everyone is required to insure themselves, regardless of the feasibility, is not reasonable for a regulated profession that provides an essential service. That it is in the public interest to enable midwives to practise, as much as it is in the public interest to have a regulated profession. Countries such as Netherlands, Canada, NZ have insurance arrangements that do this. Midwives (and women) have to accept certain boundaries and constraints. I believe that, in a free society, women should always able to employ midwives if they want to, and midwives should be able/expected to attend births in hospital as well as home.
... which brings me to the second point, hospital visiting access.
Hospital visiting access
Many Australian independent midwives have become so used to working outside hospitals, and see hospitals as 'bad' - to be avoided if possible - while homebirth is 'good' - for all sorts of reasons. This approach is simplistic, and potentially harmful to the mother and her baby. Even if 95% of women who truly wanted to give birth spontaneously, within physiological processes (that we know often work well in the home), that leaves 5 women in every 100 for whom home is not a safe place to give birth. Those 5 women have a need for professional midwifery services, just as much as the woman who experiences an uneventful process. A midwife is 'with woman': the setting for labour and birth is a secondary consideration.
If midwives are serious about promoting and protecting health in childbirth, we must protect the 'normal', while at the same time being expert in timely recognition of situations when intervention is needed. We must work to make hospitals as well as homes settings where a woman's own natural processes in giving birth are respected and protected.

From The Beacon: Donations needed for libraries to do their part
This past January, as the images from the revolution in Egypt flowed steadily into the U.S. press, one in particular caught my eye.
As the ancient library of Alexandria stood vulnerable to looting and destruction, rows of citizens, many of them students, organized to protect the famed library. They guarded the area with the help of the army and encircled the building, protecting it hand-in-hand.
That is the power that libraries can have and the power that citizens can have to protect them. Here in South Carolina, our libraries have little to fear from looters and thieves. But in this age of declining revenues and unavoidable federal and local budget cuts, there is a great deal we can do to help. We can protect and preserve our libraries with personal philanthropy.
Andrew Carnegie is perhaps the grandfather of philanthropic giving to libraries, spending more than $56 million to build 2,509 libraries. His reasons for supporting libraries resonate strongly today: He believed libraries provided opportunities for anyone who wanted to educate themselves. He felt this was a fundamental quality of American meritocracy and was absolutely essential to support and preserve.
Today, the library continues to provide a space for self-education, building of social capital and access to valuable human and digital resources. Most of us, of course, do not have multimillion dollar fortunes to donate. Smaller donations have just as critical an impact as larger ones. Through annual donations, support of capital campaigns, endowment giving and planned giving, customers can support the library according to their means and areas of interest.
You might be aware that the library system has recently reduced hours of public service at the three largest branch libraries because of increasing staff shortages. This was a necessary adjustment and the new hours were based upon current customer usage patterns while keeping these three branch libraries open 6 days a week. Our new hours are posted at www.beaufortcountylibrary.org.
In an effort to help in areas of greatest need, our four nonprofit support groups continue to put their philanthropic missions into action. Our Public Library Foundation of Beaufort County, whose mission is to build a $10 million dollar endowment fund to support the entire library system, recently awarded $5,000 from its Library Endowment Fund to provide support for Youth Services staff during the seven-week Summer Reading Program starting Monday. This is a perfect example of the power of Endowment Funds -- to bridge the gap when the need is great and keep essential community programs available and vibrant at the library.
The Friends of the Library groups also help provide additional financial support for the library branches to pay for performers, supplies, materials and more.
Donating to the library through these four nonprofit organizations is a way of supporting the community in so many ways. The library serves everyone in the community by providing an array of resources and services and hosting special events.
As we continue to weather the recession, everything is at risk. That's why it is critically important for all library customers to consider supporting the programs that enrich and benefit the community.
Caroline Rothnie interns at the library system's Office of Development & Marketing and serves as the program coordinator for the WeeRead @ the Library Outreach Project for the Public Library Foundation of Beaufort County.

Browsing Working Papers (SMG) by Subject "Organizational economics"
Now showing items 1-3 of 3
Meaning, Nature, Origins, and ImplicationsFoss, Nicholai J. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Assumptions about the knowledge held by economic agents have been an integral part of the theory of economic organization since its inception. However, recent work—here called "knowledge governance"—has more explicitly highlighted knowledge as both an independent and dependent variable. Thus, a spate of work in management research and new institutional economics has highlighted dimensions such as complementarity, complexity, tacitness, and so on of knowledge assets and shown how knowledge assets, thus dimensionalized, has explanatory value with respect to economic organization. However, knowledge may also be seen as being caused by governance mechanisms and structures; specifically, incentives, allocations of decision rights, organizational structure and so on influence the search for knowledge, and the creation, sharing and integration of knowledge. More philosophically, the concern with the role of knowledge in the context of economic organization prompts a reevaluation of a number of the fundamental assumptions that are often used to guide theory-building in the economics of organization (e.g., Bayesian and game theoretical foundations).

A Research AgendaFoss, Nicolai J.; Argyres, Nicholas; Felin, Teppo; Zenger, Todd (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: For decades, the literatures on firm capabilities and organizational economics have been at odds with each other, specifically relative to explaining organizational boundaries and heterogeneity. We briefly trace the history of the relationship between the capabilities literature and organizational economics and point to the dominance of a "capabilities first" logic in this relationship. We argue that capabilities considerations are inherently intertwined with questions about organizational boundaries and internal organization, and use this point to respond to the prevalent "capabilities first" logic. We offer an integrative research agenda that focuses, first, on the governance of capabilities and, second, on the capability of governance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8426

Abstract: The notion of "capability" has long been influential in management research as an approach to address firm-level heterogeneity and heterogeneity in competitive outcomes. I discuss how recent advances in economics may allow for a more rigorous understanding and measurement of capability that take organizational practices into account.

If North Lenoir�s boys basketball players needed a practical reminder to heed their sports clich�s, they gave themselves one Tuesday.
It is indeed how you finish.
LA GRANGE � If North Lenoir�s boys basketball players needed a practical reminder to heed their sports clich�s, they gave themselves one Tuesday.
It is indeed how you finish.
Greg Williams scored 12 points and C.B. Aycock took advantage of a dismal fourth quarter by the Hawks in a 45-39 Eastern Carolina 3A Conference win.
North Lenoir (9-9, 4-2 EC3A) entered the final period with a one-point lead before going scoreless for the next 6:38, giving the Golden Falcons (8-9, 3-3) ample time to take over.
�It was a nightmare,� Hawks coach Anthony Loftin said, adding that he picked Aycock as the league�s top team in the preseason.
�For three quarters, I thought we were right there with them.�
In the girls game, Myleah Jones scored nine points to help the Falcons pull away for a 45-25 win to start the sweep. Quoya Porter scored nine points for North Lenoir.
Loftin then watched as his team missed 12 straight 3-pointers over the final quarter and a half, an ugly streak that wasn�t snapped until Reggie Rouse connected from the left corner to cut the Hawks� deficit to 42-36 with 21 seconds left.
Aycock coach Steve Moats said his team practiced to prepare for the Hawks� aggressive, handsy press and didn�t apply what they learned until the final 8 minutes.
�When we got to the fourth quarter, we executed what we wanted to a little bit better,� he said.
The Falcons scored the first 10 points of the quarter as North Lenoir fell apart, committing seven turnovers in the period. Braxton Davis� desperation heave from 35 feet to beat the final buzzer was just the Hawks� fourth field goal of the quarter.
Loftin said the turning point came at the end of the third quarter, when North Lenoir tried to hold the ball for a final shot but instead allowed a last-second 3-pointer by Aycock�s Trey Neal to give the Falcons a 31-30 lead.
The Falcons hadn�t led since 2 minutes remained in the first quarter.
�When they got the lead, I thought we panicked and we tried to get that one knockout punch to get up by 10,� Loftin said, bemoaning his players� poor shot selection. �That compounded the issues right there.�
The Hawks� Devontae Sutton and Aycock�s Cameron Johnson were disqualified after going nose to nose near midcourt with 20 seconds left in the game.
Davis scored 11 points to lead North Lenoir, which never led by more than six.
The Hawks will play host to first-place Erwin Triton on Friday with a chance to seize a share of first place in the conference.
Triton defeated Southern Wayne 69-63 Tuesday to remain atop the league.
�We�ve got to start winning some ballgames and playing smarter,� Loftin said.

Wetpixel has been a vibrant venue for the discussion of underwater imagery for nearly ten years. We have always been somewhat unique because we are a place where industry members mingle openly with non-industry members.
Recently, a few industry members have crossed the line of commercialism, so we are putting in some strict rules for industry members to follow. Ideally, every member would be 100% objective, but this is simply not the case. When one industry member is allowed to post something self-promoting, it brings down Wetpixel's integrity and causes other industry members to complain. Unfortunately, the only solution is to implement a double standard. This does not affect non-industry members.
Starting now, overtly commercial posts from industry members will be deleted without warning.
Industry members, here are some guidelines to help you keep your posts within policy:
- In your area of commercial endeavor, only factual posts and support posts are allowed. So if you are a housing manufacturer or retailer, you can post opinions about diving destinations, but not opinions about any underwater housing on the market (including your own).
- No product announcements. All product announcements must be made via press release on the front page by contacting Wetpixel. Note that non-industry members *can* post links to announcements. Sorry, but this is how it is going to have to be.
- No inventory announcements (e.g. "Strobe XX is in stock!").
- No reviews of your own product.
- No unsolicited sales contact with forum members via the Wetpixel personal message system. Replies or support enquiries can still be communicated via PM, although in the later case, you are encouraged to do so via the forum where others can share in your knowledge and experience. (added 03/21/12)
All members can help us to keep Wetpixel on track by reporting commercial posts. Thank you for your time!
As always, if you have any questions, concerns or comments, please voice them here.

In having a pair of legs and not being over 95 years of age, having spent my childhood roaming the hills and dales with my mates, getting into scrapes and enjoying every minute of it....I consider myself an expert!! Life is for living....
Onf of my former colleagues mentioned these tunnels to me, she grew up on Stockpoirt road (still lives there) and mentioned exploring them in her youth (she's not that old either - we're talking 1980s there not 1930S!)I think the compound for the dan banks work may have closed the entrance. Wonder if it would be easy to re-open now the compound's been removed?
Information needed....have had a 2nd expedition down on Dan Bank and absolutely no tunnels at all.....was the 'tunnel story' a work of fiction?!?

VIDEO: GameTime: Pacers-Heat Talk Game 3
HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Miami Heat started small, with Shane Battier and LeBron James at forward. In Game 2, they started big, replacing Battier with Udonis Haslem.
The Heat won Game 2, but the bigger lineup didn't really work. They were outscored by 18 points in 17 minutes with Haslem and Chris Bosh on the floor together. Add that to the combination's Game 1 numbers and Miami is a minus-28 in 25 minutes with Bosh and Haslem both in the game.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the Heat are better off playing small, because they've played well when Bosh has shared the floor with Chris Andersen. That pair is a plus-15 in 22 minutes together.
Still, that's a minus-13 in 47 minutes with two bigs on the floor vs. a plus-7 in 49 minutes with just one big on the floor.
These small sample sizes, though, could be swung by one stretch of 5-6 minutes where James takes over (as he tends to do sometimes), where the Heat defense takes a rest (as it tends to do) or where the Pacers go ice cold (as they tend to do).
But all you have in a playoff series are small sample sizes. And they don't get much bigger if you add in regular season meetings when one or both teams could have been playing the second night of a back-to-back. You sometimes have to make decisions and adjustments based on what's happened in portions of games here and there. And it has to be a combination of what the numbers say and what your eyes are seeing.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra will continue to mix small lineups with big lineups, in part because Battier can't give Miami what he used to. When this version of the Heat won its first title in 2012, Battier was the guy – as a small-ball four who could shoot and defend – that really unlocked their floor-spacing identity.
He averaged more than 33 minutes per game in that postseason, but has played less than half that in all but three games in these playoffs. And neither Rashard Lewis nor Michael Beasley has been able to take over that role (or has seen the floor in the conference finals thus far).
"We've balanced [big and small] as much as we have in the three years this year," Spoelstra said before Game 2. "And that was what this season required. So we've played a lot of different lineups. We have enough experience, different rotations to be able to play different styles of basketball without compromising what we do best.
"That might be what this series requires, but we have great versatility. We have confidence in our versatility. If we have to utilize all of it, whatever's necessary."
Not only has Lewis been removed from the rotation in this series, but so has James Jones, whose on-court numbers have been ridiculously good in the playoffs. So it would help if Bosh could make some shots.
Haslem is a decent mid-range shooter, but decent mid-range shooting doesn't hurt the opposing defense. Andersen is a strong finisher and his well-timed dives to the rim have been successful against the Pacers in the past, but his range doesn't extend beyond three feet.
It's Bosh's shooting that can really take Pacers center Roy Hibbert away from the basket or punish him for staying there. He did the latter on the one 3-pointer he's hit in this series (which sparked Miami's Game 2 comeback), but Bosh has missed the other eight threes he's taken. And according to SportVU, six of the eight misses have been uncontested, including the very first shot of the series.
In six games against Indiana this season, Bosh is 4-for-20 (20 percent) on uncontested threes. Against other teams, he's shot 37 percent. In the first two rounds of the playoffs, he shot 15-for-33 (45 percent) on uncontested threes. Then he went to Indiana and hit the side of the backboard.
For the most part, Hibbert has remained in the paint against the Heat. And for the most part, Bosh hasn't been able to do anything about it. It's become clear that this is not a good matchup for him, but open shots are open shots and they'll continue to be there if he's being defended by Hibbert. But whether the Heat are playing big or small, he's going to have to start making some.

Waitawheta Tramway
This track is relatively flat but requires several river crossings as it follows an old tramline through the spectacular Waitawheta Gorge.
Time: 8 hrs return Distance: 7.5 km one way Type: Tramping Track
The Waitawheta Tramway was constructed between 1896 and 1910 to transport kauri logs out of the Waitawheta Valley. The valley is another example of early pioneers pillaging the land and reminders of their activities still remain including the tramway. Today the route of the old tramway forms a walking track through the spectacular cliffs and bluffs of the gorge.
Directions: The track is located in the Waitawheta Valley and can be accessed from Waihi along SH2. From Waihi travel on SH2 towards Paeroa, turn left onto the Waitawhta Road, 2km past the Waikino Cafe. Continue along the Waitawheta Road and turn right into Franklin Road until the road ends. Access to the track is over farmland, 200m past the carpark.
Visitors can overnight in the Waitawheta Hut (fairly basic) at the end of the track.
Note: The track includes six crossings of the Waitawhata river. Visitors should not attempt to walk the track if conditions are wet as the river can rise quickly.

Kitchen Remodeling
It is no surprise that the kitchen is probably the most frequent home renovation that individuals pick to do. It really is the location exactly where everyone ends up as well as the part of the property exactly where the food and drinks are. There is so much a lot more to contemplate and make a decision in kitchen remodeling, but with the specialist assist of your Normandy Chicago home design team, the choice approach will be genuinely enjoyable and your completed kitchen magnificent. Of course, as with any inexpensive kitchen makeover, updating paint and hardware played a large element in the transformation! Offered that the average kitchen remodel in this country fees about $28,000, that is a handful of thousand bucks worth of indecision per project. Fortunately, appliance companies have begun creating very good-seeking, low-priced lines with matching sets — giving your kitchen a designer look for much much less. Starting to strategy your remodel months in advance is crucial to locating the greatest value on materials and mitigating the pressure of the building approach. They must be placed in intuitive locations to make it as easy as achievable to get around in the kitchen.
Discover the very best ways to add storage to your kitchen in this guide or use this guide to kitchen cabinets to get you began. Following: Rearranging the kitchen so that it was much more functional was the essential to the accomplishment of this renovation. When searching for kitchen decorating tips, take into consideration which kitchen remodeling concepts inspire you.
Following removing that breakfast bar, we could see that that opening up our kitchen created the whole space feel so considerably far better. Overall, the total Ikea bill for all appliances (dishwasher, cooktop, double oven and installed microwave) was $3,500 the cabinets price just shy of $eight,000. An all-white kitchen can generate an illusion of roominess, as it provides a seamless transition from walls to floors. Replace Appliances: There are millions of kitchen appliances out there, which indicates there is the correct fridge, stove or dishwasher for each kitchen and its remodeling price range. Speaking of sale price, your anticipated date of sale has an impact on your total expense. These days I'll show you the soon after pics, and then I have a separate follow up post to give you all the kitchen sources and other particulars you may possibly want to know, because this is going to be lengthy enough already!
As a result, with greater quality cabinets AND professional style, I consider we have it nailed as to how to proceed with what you might have thought would be an IKEA kitchen. Next, set a price range that reflects your major priorities for the new space and familiarize oneself with simple components of style. Considerably like your plumbing, gas lines could be moved throughout a significant remodeling project.
An typical kitchen remodel expense $56,768 nationally, according to the Remodeling 2015 Cost vs. Value report. Granite and corian are common alternatives, but Quartz, although pricey, has been dominating the new the kitchen counter industry for the final couple of years and we do not see that trend going away anytime soon.
When budgeting your kitchen remodel fees, feel very carefully about expenses beyond just the new appliances and finishes. With a combination of track lighting, recessed lighting and other choices, it really is attainable to make even a compact kitchen look and really feel roomy and elegant. In order to develop the new kitchen we removed a wall between the old kitchen and an adjacent family members space. Unless Ty Pennington is at your front door with a bullhorn, your kitchen remodel will not get carried out in 22 minutes plus commercials.…

It's time to get your play space set up so that Kinect can see your whole body.
Use the following guidelines to make sure that your play space is ready for a great Kinect experience:
The sensor can detect you if you are in a seated position. However, if you're trying to play a game that involves your whole body but are seated and have a coffee table in front of you, Kinect might not be able to detect the movement of your feet.
Once you've cleared your play space, it's time to adjust the angle of the Kinect sensor. For more information, see Adjust the angle of your Kinect sensor.

On World Book Night - an evening of bookish celebration around the country - Abingdon Library was packed to welcome debut novelist Rachel Joyce, author of 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry'. The event was the culmination of the 'Oxfordshire World Book Night Read', put together with the energy and enthusiasm of Oxfordshire librarians and publisher Transworld.
The idea was simple: reading groups around Oxfordshire received proof copies to read and discuss ahead of the event, and other Oxfordshire libraries hosted book events on the night too with a variety of authors. It seems to have been a great success.
We've loved recommending 'Harold' in the shop (although the title sometimes morphs into the author's own name: we have described it variously as 'Harold Joyce', or 'Rachel Fry', or some other mash-up. Having met the author now, this may become worse). It's one of those perfect books (for us) that appeals to a wide range of readers, but has real emotional depth and ensures Harold stays in the mind for a long time after the book ends.
The physical book itself is very desirable: Transworld have produced a gorgeous hardback, particularly in its choice of understated yet pitch-perfect illustrations at the start of each chapter. (There were appreciative comments on this from the audience).
Rachel has the endearing quality that I think the best writers have of seeming slightly bemused about all the fuss, as though she looked up from writing one day and realised all these people were there wanting to discuss it. Fittingly for a book about a compelling journey, her own route to published author was both fascinating and revealing.
Rachel's background is writing for radio, and has been hugely successful in that field (you can read her impressive radio CV here). She described how writing for radio requires skills honed for telling a story in 7,000 words, and the need for 'hooks' when writing over several episodes (and much bigger hooks if episodes run over the weekend!). Again, as with the best writers, there's a feeling of a long apprenticeship, and so no surprise perhaps that a debut should feel so assured.
Neither is it surprising that 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry' grew out of a radio play, one written initially after her own father was diagnosed with cancer. The initial motivation was, she felt, to try to keep her father alive, and though he never saw the book, it is more poignant when, at the start of the novel, when Harold resolves to walk to where an old friend, Queenie, lies dying, he writes "I will keep walking, and you must keep living."
Rachel described the act of writing as something she has to do, and despite plenty of obstacles to this (four children, 'nuff said) she described writing as "knitting in your head". This 'knitting' gets done wherever convenient (even in at the cinema whilst on chaperoning duties) and it seems her family also keep her on the straight and narrow, with her husband intervening when trips to research the route threatened to get out of hand ("you're writing fiction, not a travelogue!").
(Following on from learning a little about how Frank Cottrell-Boyce writes, maybe a chaotic household should be seen as a pre-requisite for writers?)
Rachel spoke quietly - but passionately - about her love of the countryside, a plea for map-reading (as opposed to sat-navs) and how these passions end up woven into the books.
We were delighted to be involved, it was a wonderful evening, and again shows the magic that can happen when bookshops and libraries come together - particularly to celebrate such a splendid book with a delightful author.

A retired police inspector has set up a new organisation to campaign for officers to be given industrial rights, saying it was the "last stand of the thin blue line".
Tony Munday, who spent more than 30 years with the Hertfordshire force, said the growing numbers of police community support officers and Highways Agency traffic officers "act as a blueprint for future privatisation" of the police service, but he insisted Police Choice was not calling for strikes, adding that it simply wanted "greater safeguards for the role of the police in society to serve the public".
Along with the armed forces and prison officers, the police are banned in law from taking industrial action and Home Secretary Theresa May has said the issue is "off the table", adding: "Keeping our communities safe is simply too important."
But Mr Munday, co-chairman of Police Choice, said: "The British public have largely been kept in the dark about the real risks posed to policing by consent through the introduction of we believe is a privatisation of the police service, accelerated under this current Government. Both the introduction of more PCSOs on the street, and Highways Agency traffic officers on our roads, act as a blueprint for future privatisation.
"The vast majority of police officers are extremely concerned by the changes to the service and are frustrated that they are unable to do anything about it through a toothless and inefficient Police Federation which is in thrall of the Government which considers its rank and file officers 'plebs'. We strongly believe this is the last stand of the thin blue line."
Richard Stein, head of human rights at law firm Leigh Day & Co which has advised the group, said: "It seems ridiculous that doctors, nurses, prison officers and other public servants can have union bodies but that the police are left bereft of any industrial rights given the dangers they have to face amid the current political backdrop of austerity. What Police Choice is advocating is not strike action, it is simply the need for greater safeguards for the role of the police in society to serve the public."
The Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers in England and Wales, is to ballot its 135,000 members on whether they want the right to strike in the wake of the Government's 20% budget cuts and wide-ranging reforms to the service.
A spokesman said it "recognises and fully understands the frustration and anger among members, caused the Government's relentless attacks on their pay and conditions".
"The federation is, and will continue to be, the most effective platform to fight on behalf of its members, and was able to secure significant concessions during consultation with the Government over changes to police pensions," he added.
"This was despite having no statutory powers to challenge the reforms. We are however aware that police officers feel let down by the current Government, and their anger at policing cuts and changes to their pay, pensions and conditions have contributed significantly to the federation's decision to hold a ballot on whether it should seek full industrial rights for members."

When you take the ACT, three reports are prepared: student report, high school report, and college/scholarship agency report.
Student report. The student score report is mailed to the address you provided on your registration. Student score reports are also available online three to eight weeks after you take the test. If you took the Writing Test, your score reports will be released only after all your scores are available, usually within 5 to 8 weeks after the test date. Once you've received your report, check out the valuable personalized college and career planning information it contains.
High school report. If you authorize it when registering, your high school will also receive a report. High school counselors can use the information to help you plan appropriate coursework supporting your goals. Some schools include your test score on your official transcript. The high school report contains your scores and college and career planning information.
College/scholarship agency report. When you register for the ACT, you can choose four colleges or scholarship agencies to have your scores sent to for free. You can also select two more for an additional fee. This report includes the same information found on the student and high school reports, high school grades, and performance predictions for specific college programs and courses.
There is no way to speed up the scoring of your test or reporting of your scores.

If I can react fast enough most of the time from a normal punch without the backwards movement I would love to see what I can do with someone taking their sweet time to generate all that extra power just to hit nothing.Lexxorcist wrote:why, when you have that extra split second to pull your fist back a few inches further to add significant power.... why wouldn't you?
That is my main problem with it. There are better and much faster ways to do it. Ways that if done right can also actually speed to process of the strike.

For gods sake man, I said WHEN you have the opportunity, when you've given yourself that extra split second - usually by using shorter, faster techniques. You're not reading my posts. There are various ways to generate power that are combined, and that is one of them (one that you choose never to use - which is your choice). If I thought you'd see it coming or have time to avoid it, the opportunity wouldn't be there, and if you bothered to read my posts properly you'd already know that. I've now addressed this repeatedly in the thread and you seem to have missed it every time, which makes me wonder about your observational skills.
I would use anything that might give me an advantage if the chance was there. In my opinion it would be remiss to do otherwise. Each to their own I guess.
**Edit** ________________________________________
Back on topic now, regarding elements like kata being 'dead'. Fluent reading and writing begins with learning the alphabet - your ABC, sounding out and learning to draw the letters. How many words begin with Abc?
You learn music from scales, yet the result can be anything from rock, to classical to jazz.
Does this mean the alphabet and musical scales are 'dead'?
Regarding the Mac Dojos, think of your favourite song in the world. Now imagine it being covered by loads of dreadful club bands all over the world. The results can often be offensive and laughable, and some may destroy them even more by adding their own 'twists' which just don't work - but it's the same song.
Q) Can katas evolve?
Kata cannot be used as a substitue for 'aliveness' in a dojo (and isn't), but it can be effectively used with it. Spontanious free fighting is, of course, also essential for it to have any practical use, but some time practicing basic moves and kata is also valuable, assuming it's taught correctly. Extending lines, and having the means to fully maximise the power of techniques can also be useful. You may choose not to use certain techniques - but it doesn't mean they're useless. Notice I haven't criticised any other style of fighting in this thread, because I don't have a deep understanding of other styles, and have never tried them.
The techniques in the kata have evolved from and have been tested in actual combat. In this way each kata has been improved and refined, and has evolved into the kata we practice today. The kata's complex evolution it is hard to trace, but it is known that they are based on combative techniques

Fun Four Sunday League to start
CDJFA will start their first Fun Four League this Sunday for children of P3-4 age with 6 local teams playing small sided games against each other over the next 4 weeks on the All Weather Pitch at Kinloch Park. With 29 kids in this age group regularly turning up for football the coaches have decided to formalise the set-up and have allocated players in to teams with strips and a dedicated coach. One CDJFA coach said "We're enjoying great numbers on a Sunday and want to bring a bit of formality to the fun fours, a bit of competition and let the children enjoy the whole ethos of playing an d being part of a team. We've tried to allocate teams based on where children stay and have reintroduced old team names like Calton Thistle, Dalaruan Hearts, Longrow, Crosshill, South Kintyre Rovers and Kilkerran Athletic to give each team an identity. We now need the parents and kids to support our efforts by turning up every Sunday". The Fun Fours runs each Sunday on the AWP from 12.15 to 13.45pm.

Master of Science in Applied Leadership for Teaching and Learning
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Master's Degree in Applied Leadership for Teaching and Learning recognizes the valuable contributions of experienced educators and their ability to engage in professional development within a community of learners. With this understanding as its foundation, the program provides experienced educators with the opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills and be recognized as leaders within their profession.
This 30-credit program, which can be completed within two calendar years, includes a 21-credit core requirement as well as a nine-credit area of emphasis. As part of the core requirement, degree candidates will be required to complete a culminating project or thesis related to an educational, school or classroom-based line of inquiry. The core curriculum is based on the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). The standards that undergird this program are the following:
- Teachers are committed to students and their learning.*
- Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students.*
- Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning.*
- Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience.*
- Teachers are members of learning communities.*
- Teachers understand system theory and how to initiate and sustain meaningful change.
- Teachers are knowledgeable about historical and contemporary educational reform efforts.
*NBPTS standards
The Applied Leadership degree is unique in many respects. It is a truly advanced degree program that does not include teacher certification. It recognizes the expertise of experienced educators working within a community of professional learners. Most importantly, this program will prepare professionals to conduct educational-based research and to use their knowledge of research to make data-based decisions in order to improve student learning.
The Master's Degree is an integral part of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Institute for Learning Partnership. The Institute brings together the extensive resources of the University, regional school districts, area businesses, and community leadership to improve the quality of education for all learners. In addition to working with the experienced faculty in Education, participants in the Master's Degree program have opportunities to work with faculty across a variety of academic disciplines, as well as participate in regional and local professional initiatives.
The program is designed as a part-time program for educators who are actively employed in educational and professional settings (e.g., K-12 classroom settings and/or business and industry training). Courses are offered on the weekends and during the summer. Students are admitted to the program each fall semester in cohorts with a maximum class size of 20. This small class size enables degree candidates to have close contact with the program's faculty and promotes the development of a sense of community over the course of the program.
Minimum admission requirements are:
- A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution.
- Two years of successful teaching experience is preferred, but not required.
- A minimum of a 3.0 grade point average (gpa).
Admission Requirements
Each applicant's prior academic work and experience will be evaluated prior to admission. Applicants are expected to have college-level writing, oral communication and computer skills. Students who show exceptional promise but lack the minimal prerequisites may be admitted provisionally. Applicants are not required to take the GRE for admission.
The application process requires completion of a UW-Green Bay Graduate Application form; letter of interest; three letters of recommendation; official transcripts (undergraduate and graduate); brief curriculum vitae; and an interview to ensure that there is an appropriate match between the goals of the program and each applicant's professional development needs.
Steps Toward the Degree
- Applicant is admitted to the graduate program.
- An Official Declaration of Master's Degree (GR-1 Form) is submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies on the student's behalf.
- After completion of at least 8 credits, the student develops a project proposal. The proposal is reviewed and approved by a project committee. The Approval of Thesis or Project Proposal (GR-2 Form) is submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies on the student's behalf.
- Student may register for project credits (TCH LRNG 799) and work on the project.
- Student schedules the professional project presentation by filing the Request for Thesis Defense/Project Presentation (GR-3 Form) when the project document is nearly complete.
- The student files an Application for Graduation with the Registrar's Office through the Student Information System (SIS). The application must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar prior to November 1 for fall semester graduates, and April 1 for spring and summer semester graduates.
- A professional project presentation takes place. Filing the Approval of Thesis Defense or Project Presentation (GR-4 Form) with the Graduate Studies Office indicates satisfactory completion of the professional project and presentation.
- Graduate receives diploma.
Graduate Committee
It is important for Applied Leadership for Teaching and Learning students to select a thesis/project committee early. The program chair or an adviser for the student's degree program normally assists in this process.
A thesis committee is comprised of at least two faculty members approved by the program chair. One member is requested by the student to act as the major professor or chair of the committee. That person must be a graduate faculty member of the student's degree program. Students are encouraged to ask a person from outside the University to join their committees, in addition to the faculty members.
A professional project adviser may be a single faculty member within the student's program.
The thesis committee or project adviser is responsible for supervising the student's program of study and should:
- guide the student in appropriate selection of graduate courses and specialization studies to ensure that the student is aware of all relevant materials necessary to completely understand the chosen field of study;
- determine whether the student has accumulated and demonstrated sufficient ability to engage in analytic processes of problem solving;
- make certain that the student's project is consistent with the degree, confronts the interdisciplinary relationships of the subject area, and focuses on problem solving methods.
If during the student's course of study, he or she wishes to change committee members or adviser, the student must explain why the change is necessary or desirable. If the change is acceptable to both outgoing and incoming professors, the student must notify the Graduate Studies Office in writing.
Degree Requirements
The requirements for the Master of Science in Applied Leadership for Teaching and Learning consist of successfully completing a 21-credit core requirement and a nine-credit area of emphasis.
Students must maintain at least a B average to remain in the program and to graduate. A grade of C or better is required for course work to be counted toward graduation.
Students must file an Official Declaration of Master's Degree (GR-1 Form) before completing eight graduate credits in the program.
Core Requirement, 21 credits
Core courses:
A 15-credit set of core courses form the foundation for the degree. All students must complete the following four courses:
TCH LRNG 701 Reflective Inquiry, 4 cr.
TCH LRNG 702 Approaches to Educational Inquiry, 4 cr.
TCH LRNG 703 Contemporary Issues and Historical Contexts, 4 cr.
TCH LRNG 704 Applied Educational Leadership, 3 cr.
Inquiry project or thesis:
TCH LRNG 799 Thesis or Project, 6 cr.
Each individual in the program is required to complete a culminating project or thesis related to an educational, school, or classroom-based line of inquiry. Participants engage in activities relevant to the development, interpretation and dissemination of their research under the direct guidance of a graduate faculty adviser. In addition to the required faculty, professionals from outside the University may also serve on thesis committees.
Students usually enroll for two credits of project or thesis support during the summer of their first year. The additional four credits will be distributed over the fall, spring and summer of their second academic year.
Area of Emphasis, 9 credits
Each student selects an area of emphasis consisting of at least nine graduate credits. These credits may be completed at UW-Green Bay or at another institution or setting. It may be possible to establish a personal area of emphasis fitted to the career interests of the student. Such programs must conform to MSAL guidelines and be filed as a Program Plan approved by the student's academic adviser, program chair, and the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Director of Graduate Studies.
Program requirements change from time to time. New graduate courses are added and others are dropped.
