It was when Snooker was at the height of it's popularity which would have given the tournaments an extra feel of importance and excitement which makes up for the lower standard of play and basic TV coverage.
Plus the top players were more interesting as much of a cliche as that is.
The best period though was the late 90's/early 00's but the mid to late 00's were grim and it felt like a dying sport. The 90's felt overshadowed by the previous decade even to me as a child at the time and it's too early to judge the 2010's.

Marketing can be a powerful client attractor, but it can never be more powerful than the mindset driving it. If you just shove your marketing emails, social media posts, ads, and requests for new business out there without managing the mindset behind them, you'll struggle to get clients and the few you do get will be a bad fit.
You don't want negative emotions layered into your marketing.
Marketing is all about sharing an incredibly valuable solution to the people who need it most.
It's a gift. An act of love.
When you trust that your 5-Star Clients will see the value in your gifts, your marketing WILL do its job.
Marketing is a love connection not a gimme your money so I can survive interaction…
… even if you need that money to make your mortgage payment.
Marketing from a place of need is a turn off for your potential clients. They can immediately sniff out your hidden agenda.
If you want 5-Star Clients, then you need a 5-star mindset.
Here are 4 warning signs that your marketing mindset isn't 5-Star:
#1 You're choosing a type of marketing strategy that someone said was hot, but there's no inspiration behind it for you. You're just going through the motions.
#2 You're desperate for clients and you'll implement just about any strategy to get some money in the door.
#3 You're using language in your communications that you think will get the sale, or sounds like good marketing lingo, but it's all coming from your head… not your heart.
And #4 You're hurrying. If you're in a rush to get something done or you have a product or program launch deadline, I guarantee you're not taking the time to really connect energetically to your 5-Star Client while creating your marketing materials.
The energy behind your marketing needs to be about giving, not receiving.
You always want to tune in to your heart before, during, and after marketing… or the fun stops and so does attracting new clients. Being a marketing rebel means not listening to marketing rules unless they fully ignite you.
Even the best marketing strategies are rendered useless, if your mindset sucks. In fact, searching for the perfect strategy is irrelevant. Once you have a 5-star mindset you'll automatically choose and perfectly execute the most ideal strategies to attract your 5-Star Clients.
Throw out the rule book, cuz there isn't one!
On average, what's your marketing mindset…1, 2, 3 ,4 or 5-Star?

Wonderful quote by Dostoevsky from The Brothers Karamazov:
I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidean mind of man, that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, of the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, of all the blood that they've shed; and it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify what has happened.It's incredible to consider that God has something so amazing planned that all the suffering in this world until then will be justified. For if mankind had not suffered through droughts, diseases, genocides, earthquakes, and all sorts of evil, would heaven be all that glorious?

Ethical Natural law philosophers of the 17th and 18th centuries as well as the metaphysical theorists of 19th century postulated the concept of will as an essential requirement for exercising legal right. They also believed that personality is the subjective possibility of a rightful will.
Legal personality is an artificial creation of law. Entities recognized by law are capable of being parties to a legal relationship. A natural person is a human being whereas legal persons are artificial persons, such as a corporation, created by law and given certain legal rights and duties of a human being; a being, real or imaginary, who for the purpose of legal reasoning is treated more or less as a human being. All legal persons can sue or be sued.
Theories of Juristic Personality
- Fiction Theory– This theory was put forward by Von Savigny, Salmond, Coke, Blackstone, and Holland etc. According to this theory, the personality of a corporation is different from that of its members. Savigny regarded corporation as an exclusive creation of law having no existence apart from its individual members who form the corporate group and whose acts are attributed to the corporate entity. As a result of this, any change in the membership does not affect the existence of the corporation.
It is essential to recognize clearly the element of legal fiction involved in this process. A company is in law something different from its shareholders or members. The property of the company is not in law the property of the shareholders. The company may become insolvent, while its members remain rich.
Gray supported this theory by saying that it is only human beings that are capable of thinking, therefore it is by way of fiction that we attribute 'will' to non-human beings through human beings who are capable of thinking and assign them legal personality.
Wolf said that there are three advantages of this theory. It is analytical, more elastic and it makes easier to disregard juristic personality where it is desirable.
- Concession Theory– This theory is concerned with the Sovereignty of a State. It pre-supposes that corporation as a legal person has great importance because it is recognized by the State or the law. According to this theory, a juristic person is merely a concession or creation of the state.
Concession Theory is often regarded an offspring of the Fiction Theory as both the theories assert that the corporation within the state have no legal personality except as is conceded by the State. Exponents of the fiction theory, for example, Savigny, Dicey and Salmond are found to support this theory.
Nonetheless, it is obvious that while the fiction theory is ultimately a philosophical theory that a corporation is merely a name and a thing of the intellect, the concession theory is indifferent to the question of the reality of a corporation in as much as it focuses only on the source (State) from which the legal power of the corporation is derived.
- Group Personality Theory or Realist Sociological Theory– This theory was propounded by Johannes Althusius and carried forward by Otto Van Gierke. This group of theorists believed that every collective group has a real mind, a real will and a real power of action. A corporation therefore, has a real existence, irrespective of the fact whether it is recognized by the State or not.
Gierke believed that the existence of a corporation is real and not based on any fiction. It is a psychological reality and not a physical reality. He further said that law has no power to create an entity but merely has the right to recognize or not to recognize an entity.
A corporation from the realist perspective is a social organism while a human is regarded as a physical organism. This theory was favoured more by the sociologists rather than by the lawyers. While discussing the realism of the corporate personality, most of the realist jurists claimed that the fiction theory failed to identify the relationship of law with the society in general. The main defect of the fiction theory according to the realist jurists was the ignorance of sociological facts that evolved around the law making process.
Horace Gray, however, denied the existence of collective will. He called it a figment. He said that to get rid of the fiction of an attributed by saying that corporation has a real general will, is to derive out one fiction by another.
- The Bracket Theory or the Symbolist Theory– This theory was propounded by Rudolph Ritter von Jhering (also Ihering). According to Ihering, the conception of corporate personality is essential and is merely an economic device by which we can simplify the task of coordinating legal relations. Hence, when necessary, it is emphasized that the law should look behind the entity to discover the real state of affairs. This is also similar to the concept of lifting of the corporate veil.
This group believed that the juristic personality is only a symbol to facilitate the working of the corporate bodies. Only the members of the corporation are 'persons' in real sense of the term and a bracket is put around them to indicate that they are to be treated as one single unit when they form themselves into a corporation.
- Purpose Theory or the theory of Zweck Vermogen– The advocates of this theory are Ernst Immanuel Bekker and Alois von Brinz. This theory is also quite similar to the fiction theory. It declared that only human beings can be a person and have rights. This theory also said that a juristic person is no person at all but merely a "subjectless" property destined for a particular purpose. There is ownership but no owner. Thus a juristic person is not constructed round a group of persons but based on an object and purpose.
The assumption that only living persons can be the subject-matter of rights and duties would have deprived imposition of rights and duties on corporations which are non-living entities. It therefore, became necessary to attribute 'personality' to corporations for the purpose of being capable of having rights and duties.\
- Hohfeld's Theory– He said that juristic persons are creations of arbitrary rules of procedure. According to him, human beings alone are capable of having rights and duties and any group to which the law ascribes juristic personality is merely a procedure for working out the legal rights and jural relations and making them as human beings.
- Kelsen's Theory of Legal Personality – He said that there is no difference between legal personality of a company and that of an individual. Personality in the legal sense is only a technical personification of a complex of norms and assigning complexes of rights and duties.

When it comes to selecting the best wood for smoking brisket you will find a bunch of different opinions on the topic. In reality, the best choice is going to come down to your METHOD of smoking brisket and the EQUIPMENT that you are using for the job.
Let's take a look at some data points and see if we can make sense out of things.
- Daniel Vaughn wrote a great article for Texas Monthly that broke down the brisket recipes from 22 of his favorite barbecue books. In his analysis oak and hickory were the two clear pitmaster favorites although there was some love shown for pecan, apple and mesquite.
- Another article published in the Dallas Observer took the pulse of the barbecue joints in Dallas and found that the pitmasters were split between oak and hickory and were rather passionate about their choice.
- The Winningest Man in Barbecue, Myron Mixon, uses a combination of oak and hickory for his competition winning brisket.
- The most famous brisket cook in Texas, Aaron Franklin, uses oak for his briskets.
While there is disagreement over whether oak is better than hickory there is complete agreement on what makes these woods different.
- Well seasoned Oak, and Post Oak in particular, burns very cleanly with little smoke and a produces a mild smoke flavor.
- Hickory has a much stronger smoke flavor than oak and does not burn as clean.
The difference in smoke profile between these woods is of critical importance when you are slow smoking a brisket for 8-15 hours in an offset stick burner. One of the biggest ways people screw up their barbecue is by using too much smoke and this problem really compounds itself when you are smoking a brisket for nearly half a day.
If you think about the methods people use to smoke briskets then the differences in wood choices become more obvious.
Aaron Franklin smokes his briskets low and slow for 8-12 hours using post oak. Aaron needs a consistent mild smoke that will not over power the meat.
Myron Mixon cooks his briskets hot and fast. The brisket is only exposed to smoke for 2-3 hours before being wrapped in a foil pan. Since the exposure time is so short Myron needs a more powerful smoke flavor from his wood and he uses a combination of oak and hickory.
Make sense?
So, what about you? Just because the professionals are using oak and hickory doesn't mean that it is the best choice for you.
Most backyard cooks are not cooking briskets on custom built offset stick burners.
Most backyard cooks are using electric smokers like Masterbuilts.
Electric smokers use wood chips and smolder them in batches producing intermittent billows of smoke. It is HARD to get a great smoke profile using this method and using a mild wood like oak will only make it harder.
The same problem exists for people who are using propane smokers.
Even people using pellet smokers struggle to get a strong smoke profile and will often resort to injecting their briskets with a little liquid smoke.
If you are using an electric, propane or pellet smoker then don't be afraid to kick things up and add some hickory, pecan or even a touch of mesquite. If you are limited in how much smoke you can make then you need to make the most out of the little that you have.
Another thing to remember is that people have very different preferences when it comes to smoke flavor.
Melissa Cookston is a multiple barbecue World Champion and a highly successful restaurateur. She really does not care for hickory and prefers cooking over apple and cherry. For her restaurant she cooks over pecan because that is what her customers like the most.
I do all of my smoking with charcoal and have switched over to using a single split of cherry when I cook briskets. I love the flavor and color that I get from cherry and by only using a single split I make sure that my briskets don't get too smokey.

Sarah Silverman Writes Touching Eulogy for Her Dog
The renowned comedian shows how deep the bond between humans and animals can be in a eulogy she wrote for her dog's obituary.
September 6, 2013
Comedian Sarah Silverman recently wrote an online obituary for her dog, Duck, who passed away earlier this month. In the heartfelt goodbye letter, Silverman, an outspoken animal-welfare advocate and vegetarian, talked about how she first met Duck at a no-kill shelter where he had been taken after he was found running through South Central Los Angeles with no tags. The star comedian recounted Duck's mounting health problems throughout the 14 years they spent together, and described the day he passed away. She ended the obituary by referring to her canine companion as, "My longest relationship. My only experience of maternal love. My constant companion. My best friend. Duck."

According to the Metro reports, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is planning to complete transfer of three world-class players Giorgio Chiellini, Mario Mandzukic and James Rodriguez before the end of the transfer window and ready to pay £110m for all of them.
Chelsea need reinforcements in the defensive end and Italian defender who has worked with Conte at Juventus and Italy national team seems to be an ideal candidate to replace John Terry or Garry Cahill his market valuation believed to be around £25m.
While Attacking recruits are also in Conte's wishlist and planning to lure Mario Mandzukic from Juventus ( £25m) and James Rodriguez (£60m) to strengthen the front line and finish 2016/17 season on top of the Premier League table.
Colombian forward is believed to be unhappy at Santiago Bernabeu and considering options while seating on the bench of Real Madrid.
The Situation with Mandzukic is similar after Juventus signed Argentinian superstar Gonzalo Higuain and could leave Turin club this summer.
Conte signalled prior to Saturday's victory over Watford that he is actively seeking reinforcements.
"I think we need to sign some players. We have too few players in defence and we are working with the club to find a solution," he said.
"We arrive after a season which was not so good but we are working very hard to improve the situation but, if you ask me, the real target of this squad now is very difficult.
"We need to pass more time to have a better answer game by game. I have contact every day but I discuss this with the club. We must find solutions."

The piercing ache shoots from my legs
and gnaws upwards,
like a million buckets of ice covering every inch of my skin
to a point I don't know if I'm cold or burning.
Your hands were what saved me, although I will deny it
Your touch was what made me feel human, although I will deny it
Meaningless dreams are the place we meet now
without the anchor of your vow
of forever
Silent dreams are where I see you now
because I can feel the drug leave my body
and if I hear your voice, I know I will relapse
I don't look at the pictures anymore
I have lost my strength and crumbled
I don't think of the happy times anymore
because I know I will fall and stumble
But this hollow ache
this blankness behind my mask
these screams in my chest
these cuts on my arms
won't stop haunting me.
Yet I cannot stop dreaming in monochrome.

More wisdom is always good, but it looks like we're going to need it...
"By such metrics as median age or proportion of total population above the age of, virtually every developed society today is more elderly than practically any human society ever surveyed before the year 1950 — and every single currently developed society is slated to experience considerable further population aging in the decades immediately ahead. In all of the affluent OECD societies, the proportion of what is customarily called the 'retirement age population' (65 years of age or older) will steadily swell, with the most rapid expansion occurring among those aged 80 or more."

|Posing with his Christmas tree.
|Playing with Zuma, my parents' dog.
|Helping me decorate.
Our tree is up, although not yet decorated, and we have decorations throughout the house. Carter enjoyed playing with bells and looking at all of the lights. He is so much fun to watch. I'm extremely excited for this holiday season. I've always loved the holiday season, but it now brings me so much more joy. Not just because I have Carter to watch, but because of the memories surrounding this time of year. When we were at the trails running I saw the Christmas trees that were up last year. The trees we ran to the night before Carter was born. I think back to all of those emotions. Nearing the end of pregnancy as we put our tree up. Nursing a brand new baby to the light of a Christmas tree. Wearing Christmas pajamas while holding a sleeping newborn. My heart swells just thinking about those things. We have so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to. This small family of ours sure is full of love.

Smile Makeover Case Histories
Smile Makeover: Porcelain Veneers
Large spaces and gaps between teeth can be a hereditary event or they can be caused by injury and trauma.
Orthodontics is a popular treatment that can be effective in some cases. Many patients, especially adults, prefer an alternative treatment that yields immediate permanent results that can have a very dramatic impact on cosmetic appearance.
The before photo reflects the degree of spacing between multiple teeth. Since the patient was focused primarily on the upper arch, premium porcelain components were handcrafted to replace problematic teeth and to close up spaces between adjacent teeth.
Smile Makeover: Implants, Crowns and Porcelain Veneers
Our patient, a "50 something" successful Cook County area businesswoman, had a high visibility profession that involved routine contact with business executives. She was becoming self conscious about her smile. Older restorations including gold onlays, porcelain with metal crowns, composite veneers and porcelain with metal bridges had all begun to fail or show signs of significant, yet normal wear.
Porcelain was fracturing off and certain wear factors reflecting a the development of a poor bite occlusion relationship. Overuse of teeth whitening compounds were affecting both her gum tissues and tooth enamel, causing additional problems of tooth sensitivity.
After consulting with the patient and providing her with several different treatment choices, it was decided that all restorative products and procedures would incorporate the use of premium porcelain materials. Her smile makeover included 10 veneers, 3 dental implants, and multiple crowns.
Not only does our patient have great looking teeth… but she is now able to smile more normally. Notice how the upper lip now travels up further, revealing a broader smile.
Smiling with confidence is now effortless for our patient. She senses it has improved her on the job functioning as a sales executive and has caused many of her acquaintances to comment on how dazzling her smile is.

Zinc is stored in a variety of regions of the body. Zinc is required for T cell creation, often deficient in the diet regime. Zinc is famous for its reported capacity to minimize the length and severity of colds.

Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler announced this week that the state set records in October for total jobs and employed residents.
Floyd: 172 claims, down from September and from October 2017.
Bartow: 145 claims, down from the previous month and a year earlier.
Gordon: 163 claims, a slight increase from September and from October of last year.
Polk: 76 claims, down from a month earlier and from the same month in 2017.
Chattooga: 31 claims, down slightly from September but up a bit from a year earlier.
Butler said, "We set records again this month," adding "Georgia continues to grow stronger and better. We attract great jobs and more and more of them get filled. I don't see this slowing down any time soon."
The October rate, at 3.6 percent, slipped just below the national rate of 3.7 percent. Georgia's rate was 4.5 percent a year ago.
In October, Georgia added another 2,400 jobs to push the state's total number to 4.57 million – a record. Over the past year, Georgia added 93,600 new jobs, or nearly 8,000 a month.
The number of employed residents also swelled to a new record high.
Georgia ended October with just under 5 million employed residents. The state added 375 to the employment rolls for the month. By comparison, the state added about 8,500 folks to the employment rolls on an average month over the past year.
Annual job gains were up more than 20,000 in two different categories:
Construction – 21,600
Trade, transportation, utilities – 21,400.
Another three added more than 10,000 over the past 12 months:
Professional, business services – 18,100
Education, health services – 17,600
Leisure, hospitality – 11,000.
For the month, professional and business services surged by 5,300. Construction was close behind with another 2,500 added.
Georgia's labor force fell slightly in October, declining by about 3,500 to end the month at 5.2 million. Over the past 12 months, Georgia added 57,855 people to its workforce, an average of nearly 4,900 a month.
Unemployment claims were up in October by 49 percent. When compared to last October, they were up less than 1 percent.
EmployGeorgia, the department's job-listing website, saw nearly 77,000 jobs listed in October, an increase of 15 percent.

Suns routed by Pacers despite 4th-quarter surge
INDIANAPOLIS -- Thaddeus Young scored 22 points, Victor Oladipo had 21 points and nine assists and the Indiana Pacers pulled away from the Phoenix Suns for a 116-101 victory on Wednesday night.
The Pacers have won five of six, blowing out the Suns for the second time in 10 days.
Josh Jackson had 20 points while Greg Monroe had 16 points and a season-high 17 rebounds to lead Phoenix, which never led and didn't get closer than 10 over the final three quarters. The Suns have lost two straight and five of six.
Indiana sealed it by closing the first half with a 13-4 flurry to make it 63-44. It opened the second half on a 16-2 run to make it 79-46 with 9:20 left.
It didn't take long for Phoenix's poor first-half performance to turn into a far more embarrassing finish.
Bojan Bogdanovic opened the second half with a dunk, Domantas Sabonis followed that with a dunk and a layup, and Joe Young added a 21-footer. By the time Phoenix called timeout, it was trailing 71-44, Tyson Chandler was on the bench with four fouls. On the final stop of a four-game road trip, the Suns looked like they were ready to head home.
It was never close after the first six minutes.
Indiana used a 13-4 run late in the first quarter to take a 25-14 lead and extended the margin to 43-28 midway through the second quarter before sealing the win with the two big runs.
It took Phoenix more than 4 minutes to make a basket in the second half. … The Suns were 9 of 35 on 3-pointers but still extended the league's longest active streak of consecutive games with a 3 to 1,106. Dallas holds the NBA record at 1,108. … Devin Booker and Troy Daniels each scored 19 points. … Phoenix was swept by Indiana for the second time in three years.
Suns play their first home game in 12 days when the Knicks visit Friday.

SINGAPORE, June 19 (Reuters) - Taiwan's China Airlines Ltd has provisionally ordered up to six Boeing Co 777 freighters, the companies said on Wednesday, as the carrier attempts to modernise its cargo fleet.
The airline plans to transition from its older 747 freighters to a more modern twin-engine cargo planes on high-yielding routes from Taipei to North America and Europe, China Airlines Chairman Hsieh Su-Chien said.
"Air cargo is an important part of our overall business and the introduction of these new Boeing 777 freighters will play an integral role in our long-term growth strategy," he said in a statement after the deal was announced at the Paris Airshow.
The air cargo market has had a weak start to 2019, but Boeing has forecast it will double over the next 20 years. (Reporting by Jamie Freed, Editing by Sherry Jacob-Phillips)

Departures Magazine features African Parks as a force for change in the world of safaris
In case you missed it - Departures Magazine featured African Parks and Odzala-Kokoua National Park in their September 30th Anniversary issue titled "Visionaires" and called African Parks a "game changer".
Situated deep in the heart of the Congo Basin, Odzala's landscape is composed of 13,500 km2 of pristine primary forest, a network of jungle-fringed rivers and an abundance of wildlife. Established in 1935, it is one of the continent's oldest and most critical national parks and it protects 10% of the global population of the critically endangered Western lowland gorillas. In 2010, African Parks, in partnership with the Ministry of Forest Economy, Sustainable Development and Environment, assumed management of this expansive wilderness.
"Total control of a reserve—and total accountability—is crucial to African Parks' success." Said Peter Fearnhead, CEO of African Parks. Odzala is a crucial project within African Parks' portfolio which includes 15 parks, as is it considered to be the largest protected piece of the Basin's rainforest. "It's the single biggest lung of the world – that on its own is worth protecting," said Fearnhead.
Having overcome numerous challenges, this special park offers a unique tourism experience, where guests are exposed to grassroots conservation whilst being able to enjoy close-up wildlife experiences in one of the world's most extraordinary ecosystems.Read the full article

'Lost' (S2): Something BIG is brewing at 'The Lost Experience'
Something BIG is brewing at ''The Lost Experience.'' ''The Adventures of Rachel Blake'' dangles intriguing hints of seismic shifts on ''Lost''
'Lost' (S2): Something BIG is brewing at 'The Lost Experience'
The still red curtains suddenly began to sway, as if roused from sleep by a rude gust of breeze. From behind the crimson couch, a little man packed inside a tight-fitting velvet tux sprung up like a jack-in-a-box clown and landed on the plush pillow of my flabby abs, knocking the wind out of me. As I gasped for breath, the diminutive dude danced a jazzy jig to the lazy wail of a synthesized saxophone, then spun as if chasing his tail and collapsed on my chest like a puppy worn out from play. For a full minute, he did not move. Then, slowly, his head began to inch across my shoulder toward my ear, as if shyly working his way toward an affectionate nuzzle. I was terrified. And then he spoke — a croaky, sputtery whisper:
"Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications," he said.
"Something's about to happen. Secrets are about to be revealed. Secrets about Alvar Hanso; about The Dharma Initiative; about what that Dharma acronym means. Could that Department of Heuristics Blah Blah Blah be the answer we've been searching for? (Something tells me the answer is yes.) Wake up, Doc Jensen, Wake up…"
And then I woke up.
Namaste, my Lost-ies. Doc Jensen here: back in residence — and WIDE AWAKE.
Don't ask me where I've been. Not AUTHORIZED to tell you.
I know we have outstanding business, and we will get to it in the coming days and weeks. But first, we have URGENT need to start an ongoing dialogue about The Lost Experience, the Internet-based alternate-reality game that's allegedly chockablock with pertinent, even important back story and forward-spinning info for Lost fans.
See, something's about to happen. Something important. Something that's going to put me and you and all the Lost-ies we know back in the theory-spinning business much more quickly than I was expecting. We need to prepare ourselves. We need to be ready. Hence, we need to start the conversation — the TLE ARG — ASAP.
To begin, I want to discuss one of my favorite topics:
On the day after the season finale of Lost, I had the pleasure of interviewing ABC's head of marketing, Mike Benson, for an article I was writing about TLE. (You can read it here.) During our conversation, Mr. Benson explained that Lost fans can be divided into three separate categories. To paraphrase, they are:
1. Heavy, super-savvy Internet users. Their fandom is expressed (daily) at places like thefuselage.com. According to Benson, the smallest segment of the Lost audience, albeit the most conspicuous. (Certainly the most interesting, in my book.)
2. Casual to heavy Internet users; tech savvy but maybe not tech intimate. They might visit places like thefuselage.com, but they only lurk. Confession: While I aspire to be like the fans at the tip of this tri-level pyramid, Doc Jensen more often makes his home in this nebulous middle stratum.
3. The largest segment of the audience. The tech aptitude is irrelevant, as their Lost fandom doesn't extend to the Internet. Presumably, these fans aren't as interested or invested in what we would call the "mythology" of the show.
As I have considered Benson's analysis over the past several weeks, I found myself thinking about NBC's The Office. See, to my addled mind, the breakdown of Lost fandom can be translated like this:
1. THE DWIGHT TYPE. The loud and proud geek. At the annual office Halloween party, Dwights would probably come dressed as Dr. Marvin Candle. They know every word of the Swan and Pearl orientation films. Some have even made their own orientation films and posted them at youtube.com. If you think you're a Dwight, but resent being likened to Dwight, think twice before flaming me with complaints: That would totally be a Dwight thing to do.
2. THE MICHAEL TYPE. The fuzzy middle tier of the pyramid. At the annual office Halloween party, Michaels would probably come dressed as Locke: Season One Island Shaman Hero…though they may adhere more often to the Season Two Hatch-Dazzled "I Was Wrong" Fool. The Michael analogy might be a little harsh, but since I myself am a Michael, I do believe these Losties share one characteristic with the character: they awkwardly straddle two worlds. Their enthusiasms trend nerdy, but are wary of "looking nerdy." If you think you're a Michael, but resent being likened to Michael, think twice about flaming me with complaints — that's just the kind of nerdy thing Dwight would do.
3. THE JIM/PAM TYPE. The broad base of fandom. At the annual office Halloween party, Jims and Pams come dressed as…Jim or Pam from The Office. Jims and Pams have seen every episode of Lost, but many of them might TiVo it in favor of American Idol during the spring. They are all certainly the type of Lostie who would look at Andrew Smith's "Ultimate Lost Theory" and roll their eyes like a non-fan. The worst thing about a Jim or Pam is that they're probably the type who still believes that Purgatory explains the show, despite the repeated memos from Damon and Carlton. But then, they may have no idea who Damon and Carlton are…
The Lost Experience launched on May 2 with thehansofoundation.org, a website belonging to the mysterious philanthropic scientific research organization that finances The Dharma Initiative. It was soon followed by several other Hanso-affiliated websites, including the Sprite-sponsored sublymonal.com, the Jeep-linked letyourcompassguideyou.com, the monster.com-associated HansoCareers.com, and Verizon-attached retrieversofthetruth.com. (As one Lost source tells me, you know you're at an official TLE site if "you have to dig through a bunch of advertising to get to the good stuff.")
I don't begrudge TLE for its corporate sponsorship, in the same way I don't begrudge the TV show for its commercials; in the end, I understand that creating something as extravagantly interesting as Lost isn't cheap. (As for the bellyaching about advertising as being antithetical to the Internet ethos, I am unmoved. Get over yourself and your CompuServe bulletin board nostalgia and join us in the land of spiritual compromise, my friend.) (God, that sounded so soul-deadening sad, didn't it?) Anyway: I've learned to roll with it — and click through it.
Which isn't to say that I "played" The Lost Experience that much during its first month. I'm just not good at these kind of games. TLE's first act required participants to crack various codes to unlock content that was hidden at these Hanso sites by a mysterious character named Persephone, who seems to believe that Hanso is up to no good and is bent on exposing the organization's corruption and secret agenda, albeit in the most maddeningly cryptic and elliptical fashion possible.
Truth is, Phase One was aimed at the Dwights of the world. And you know what? I think that's really, really neat. Seriously. But it wasn't for me. While I do have a Ph.D. in Lost-ology, the emphasis is in content — not UNLOCKING content. In retrospect, the 4-8-15-16-23-42 touchstone click code that was required to get into sublymonal.com in the beginning seems pretty obvious. But I have to admit, I never figured it out on my own — I got the answer from a fansite. TLE's tricky barriers of entry — amplified by my personal brand of cluelessness — discouraged me from giving the Experience much of my time during its early stage. When I did investigate, I basically cheated by going to fansites like thelostexperience.com and thelostexperienceclues.com to get codes and passwords. But a lot of times, I was content to make an every-other-day visit to The Lost Experience entry at wikipedia.org for its recap.
But then thehansofoundation.org crashed and Rachel Blake started hunting Alvar Hanso, and slowly, gradually, I got hooked on TLE. "The Adventures of Rachel Blake" represent the second act of The Lost Experience, and it has been much more accessible than the first act of TLE. Put another way: Act Two is for the Dwights and Michaels in the Lost Fan Nation, although Michaels like me are still relying on Dwights for help in finding Rachel's riveting video blogs. What I like best about TLE's Blake era is that it has introduced something like structure to TLE's amoeba of narrative. It centralizes the storyline at a single blog, which then directs you to locate content on other sites — like those aforementioned Hanso sites, or to the home of conspiracy sleuth DJ Dan, whose quick-and-painless podcasts are a little goofy, but important, nonetheless.
If you haven't yet made the acquaintance of the intrepid Ms. Blake, my suggestion is this: head over to YouTube and check out their collection of her video blogs, then scroll through Blake's blog for more info. Yes, I'm asking you to take shortcuts into TLE, which may not be the most honorable way to "play" the Experience. But time is of the essence, as informed sources tell me that Act Two of TLE is about to come to a close, and that Act Three is about to launch. Says my secret Lost source: "It's going to be a doozy."
Which brings me to my dream, which bubbled forth from my Twin Peaks-steeped subconscious the other night, and might have been inspired by something I read at The Dharma Initiative entry over at wikipedia.org. Friends, the tip about the DHARMA acronym — I think it's true. And I think we're going to get more info about it very, very soon.
Moreover, my Lost gut tells me that something is going to happen. Something in THE REAL WORLD. My advice: visit ew.com over the next couple weeks, as we are going to be tracking developments as they happen. I think all Lost fans — the Dwights, the Michaels and the Jim/Pams — are going to want to be following this.
There's a lot we haven't yet discussed — like whether or not Rachel Blake is really Persephone, whether or not Rachel Blake is still alive, and perhaps most importantly, whether or not Rachel Blake is ACTUALLY WHO SHE CLAIMS TO BE. Of course, I have theories. And I have some COMPLAINTS, too, including quibbles about the illusion of its fiction/reality blur and some further thoughts on the validity of ABC's breakdown of Lost fans and the Big Truth that they're missing…
But first, I think we should all get on the same page. Let me know: have you been following The Lost Experience? What do you make of it? What's been cool about it — and what's been confusing? And are you a Dwight, a Michael or a Jim/Pam? I want to hear your feedback in the message boards below. Then, in the days to come, I'm going to do my best to offer answers and clarifications. And then, as new developments occur, we're going to dive into theories.
The meaty snack I've been hoping that TLE would be during the Lost hiatus is about to be served. Join me in scarfing it down, won't you?

The American Silver Eagle is the official Silver bullion coin of the United States.
It was first released by the U.S. Mint on November 24, 1986. It is struck only in the one-troy oz size, which has a nominal Face_value of one United_States_dollar and is guaranteed to contain one troy ounce of 99.9% pure Silver" Its content, weight, and purity are certified by the United States Mint. The American Silver Eagle bullion coin may be used to fund Individual Retirement Account.
The design on the coin's obverse was taken from the "Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman, which originally had been used on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar coin of the United States from 1916 to 1947. As this iconic design had been a public favorite—and one of the most beloved designs of any United States coinage of modern times, silver or otherwise—it was revived for the Silver Eagle decades later. The obverse is inscribed with the year of minting or issuance, the word LIBERTY, and the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST.
The reverse was designed by John Mercanti and portrays a heraldic eagle behind a shield; the eagle grasps an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left talon, echoing the Great Seal of the United States; above the eagle are thirteen five-pointed stars representing the Thirteen Colonies. The reverse is inscribed with the phrases UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER~ONE DOLLAR, and E PLURIBUS UNUM (on the banner that the eagle holds in its beak).

The music of Buxton Orr, born in Glasgow in 1924, was hardly over-exposed during his lifetime but has encountered even more neglect since his death in 1997. This CD takes a step in the right direction, presenting Orr's mildly modernist, elegant and honest music in first recordings of four of his chamber works for strings.

These 'STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS' Posters Are Glorious
Just before Star Wars Celebration began opening its doors to the hundreds of eager fans, a number of Star Wars: The Force Awakens posters, or pieces of promotional artwork, leaked all over social media this morning.
Tim Veekhoven, a contributor to the official Star Wars website, spotted the images on the Facebook page for Saga Skywalker Valencia, which is a fan group based in Valencia, Spain.
The artwork features mainly Kylo Ren, our newest villain who wields the now infamous lightsaber with a lightsaber crossguard. You'll also see a number of Stormtroopers firing flamethrowers. Um…yes please and thank you!
As of writing this, the images have yet to be confirmed as official promotional art from Disney and Lucasfilm. We'll just have to wait and see. But aren't they pretty?

A few months ago, I embossed a piece of Rose Red card stock with one of the Cuttlebug folders. I then used one of my glitter pens to start outlining the raised images. Well, I didn't like the result so I set the piece of card stock aside and moved on to another card. A few weeks later, I looked at the piece of embossed card stock and turned it over to the back side. The image on the front is embossed or raised but on the back, it's debossed or depressed. I lightly rubbed a white craft inkpad over the debossed side of the card stock and it highlighted all but the debossed images. I tied a white organdy ribbon around it, mounted it on a piece of white card stock and then mounted both pieces on the Mellow Moss card base. "Thinking of You" is from the Sincere Salutations set. I stamped the sentiment in Rose Red Ink on white card stock and then matted it on Mellow Moss. All card stock, ink and images are @Stampin' Up.
The end result was nothing like I envisioned before I started on the card. Sometimes it just happens that way and it turns out even better than imagined.

Thine Eyes: From The Taunt
While not an official Thine Eyes release, "From the Taunt" does serve as a musical stepping stone of sorts for the band. Thine Eyes has been vainly working with a variety of record labels for the past several in hopes of finally netting a contract. The only label that had given them any semblance of a bite was Kodex Records, yet even Kodex has been over a year in finalizing any terms. So they have been forced to compile yet another collection of demo material to begin shopping for yet another label. However this time they have chosen to press their own CD's to take advantage of their crystal clarity of digital media and the effect it has on their music, and what a difference it makes. The subtleties of their vocal work and bitter electronic feel have reached an all time high note on this album. It is a real shame that no one has paid much of any attention to this truly marvelous band. It kind of makes me want to release their material out of my own pocket. (

Uses of dental caps for Greenwood, SC patients
General and cosmetic dentists use dental crowns regularly in their practices. Crowns provide a number of benefits and are extremely versatile. Also known as dental caps, they are used to protect teeth, disguise imperfections, complete crown and bridge units, and finish surgical restorations such as dental implants.
Protect Teeth
The primary goal of a dental crown is to safeguard a weakened or broken tooth. Whether a tooth has a large crack, significant filling, or has undergone root canal therapy, a dental crown can be bonded over the top to protect it from further damage. A compromised tooth that is left unprotected may continue to experience damage, eventually requiring extraction. A dental crown reduce this risk.
Disguise Imperfections
Similar to porcelain veneers, dental crowns can be used to cover imperfections in teeth. Those that are permanently stained or discolored may benefit from the placement of crowns, and teeth that are chipped or unattractively shaped may also be addressed.
Complete Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is created to restore a smile after a tooth or several have been lost. A bridge utilizes dental crowns on adjacent teeth at each end of the gap to anchor a pontic, or artificial tooth. The bridge is bonded to crowns on adjoining teeth to hold the replacement tooth in place and restore the smile.
Finish Dental Implants
A dental implant can be used as a stand-alone restoration comparable to a bridge to replace a missing tooth. A dental implant is a titanium post that Dr. Griffin surgically places into the bone. The restoration is completed with a dental crown on top. As with most crowns, this type of restoration is made to blend aesthetically with existing teeth and help restore functionality of the dental arch. In situations such as this, the dental crown is created as a full tooth instead of just a partial dental cap.
Dental crowns are strong, beautiful, and affordable solutions for many dental situations. Adult patients may find that crowns are the best restoration for both cosmetic and general dentistry needs. Dr. Griffin assists patients in determining if dental crowns are right for their smiles and their unique dental situations.

Teheran pitched 7 1-3 innings and had two hits Friday#1
MIAMI -- Julio Teherans low ERA rose a smidgen, which was OK because his modest batting average rose a lot. Teheran pitched 7 1-3 innings and had two hits Friday night to help the Atlanta Braves move a game ahead of Miami atop the NL East by beating the Marlins 3-2. The right-hander doubled to lead off the seventh, and the Braves went on to score twice in the inning to take the lead. "I felt I had to start a rally, and just tried to put the ball in play," Teheran said. "I think that was the biggest play of the game." The Braves trailed 2-0 in the sixth inning but rallied to break a four-game losing streak. "I know weve been losing," Teheran (5-3) said. "Its nice to do my job and help the team." Teheran allowed five hits and two runs, which raised his ERA to 1.83. He came into the game 2 for 25 this season and hiked his batting average to .143. The right-hander improved to 4-0 in six career starts against the Marlins with an ERA of 2.50. "Hes a stud," teammate Chris Johnson said. "He earned this one. He had our backs, and we got him just enough." Three relievers combined to complete a five-hitter. Craig Kimbrel, who took the loss Thursday at Boston, pitched a perfect ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances. The Braves won for only the third time in their past 13 road games. They totalled just eight hits but had several lineouts. "We hit the ball harder than any other game this year," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We were hitting rockets right at people all night long. The score wasnt indicative of how well we swung the bat." Giancarlo Stanton hit his NL-leading 16th home run in the first inning to put the Marlins up 2-0, but Tom Koehler (4-5) couldnt hold the lead. He gave up three runs in seven innings and was annoyed to allow four walks. "Its tough to win ballgames when youre giving a team extra opportunities," he said. The Marlins lost for only the second time in their past 13 games against NL East teams. Freddie Freeman went hitless and struck out three times. He is 0 for 28 with 12 strikeouts against Miami this year and is batting .347 against the rest of the majors. With the Braves trailing 2-1 to start the seventh, Gonzalez said it was a no-brainer to let Teheran hit, in part because the teams bullpen was stretched thin. Teheran rewarded the decision with an opposite-field double. Jason Heyward followed with a run-scoring triple, and B.J. Uptons sacrifice fly drove in an unearned run to put the Braves ahead. Johnson singled home Atlantas first run in the sixth. While the Braves liked the way Teheran hit, they were more impressed with the 23-year-olds pitching. "The more he goes out there, the more impressed I get -- his demeanour and how he goes about his business," Gonzalez said. "You watch him grow up in front of your face." Teherans only glaring mistake was a hanging slider to Stanton, whose homer was a typical tape-measure job. It cleared the hedge beyond the 418-foot sign in centre field, ending a streak of 15 consecutive scoreless innings for Teheran. He started a new streak the next inning. "He was throwing four or five different pitches and commanding them all," Miamis Ed Lucas said. "He does a really good job changing speeds, especially for somebody who is as young as he is. Hes got a really good feel for pitching." The Marlins, who began the night with the best home record in baseball, fell to 20-9 at Marlins Park. NOTES: Miami C Jarrod Saltalamacchia went 0 for 3 and is in a 1-for-18 slump. ... RHP Ervin Santana (4-2, 4.06) is scheduled to start Saturday for the Braves against Miami RHP Jacob Turner (1-2, 5.35). Arian Foster Jersey . According to the Globe and Mail, a decision between the NHL and the Players Association should come within the six months. "I can tell you, (a decision) shouldnt take all that long," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told the Globe and Mail.

DOnta Foreman Womens Jersey . Kamloops, B.C., the host city of this years Tim Hortons Brier, is where he won his first Canadian mens curling crown in 1996. Houston Texans Jerseys . Catch all the action on TSN2 and TSN GO at 9pm et/6pm pt. San Antonio took the series lead Monday night with a 122-105 home victory in Game 1. The Spurs used a balanced scoring attack and clamped down defensively late in the third quarter to claim the win.It is the return of the UFC to Vancouver. We had Tom Wright on the "Weigh In" Radio show on TSN Radio 1290 to talk with us about Canada and the role we play in MMA. Its exciting to think that Canada is a leader in the sport. Thats the reason weve got Jones vs Gustafsson in Toronto. Vancouver will be the battle ground for a title fight, and for a few guys trying to keep their jobs in the UFC. That means fans should be treated to some solid action in the cage. Outside the cage, this article has me @fitcityjordan going toe to toe with @WebSodaGirl Gabby McAlpine. Wed love for you to chime in on social media. #TeamJC or #TeamGabzilla. Let us know and let @TSN_Sports know you love MMA. Demetrious Johnson (19-2-1) vs Ali Bagautinov (13-2-0) JC: Demetrious Johnson is just really good at MMA. He is all around with his ability to wrestle and strike. Hes the champ right now, and its because he is a talent. Watch him out strike, out point, and out game plan Bagautinov. Johnson has earned stoppages in his last two fights, and in my opinion those two athletes were more of a standout challenge than Bagautinov. The challenger is still dangerous, but I think Johnson is on another level. Gabzilla: Demetrious Johnson will win. I like him, and hes been looking really good his whole career. So its a simple choice. Johnson stays champ. Rory MacDonald (16-2-0) vs Tyron Woodley (13-2-0) JC: Im pretty sure this one is going to be a barn burner. Remember the old Rory MacDonald? The one who got all the hype, the one who was supposed to challenge the likes of GSP for talent? Well, if he doesnt show up, Woodley will run him over. Anything less than the best MacDonald we have ever seen cant handle Tyron Woodleys athleticism. Honestly, I dont think even a top notch MacDonald can. The Canadian is coming off four fights having gone to decision; Woodley has stopped his last two fights. I see Woodley pushing the pace and ending this one in the third. Gabzilla: Rory is always hungry, too hungry sometimes buut I dont think he will be able to handle the raw power of Woodley.dddddddddddd Woodley will ultimately be the winner here. Ryan Bader (16-4-0) vs Rafael Cavalcante (12-4-0) JC: Nothing says great fight like a highly skilled pair of strikers, with enough ground game to keep things interesting. As always, if Cavalcante can come in clean, I think he wins this one by being the higher skilled athlete. There is room on this card for a fight of the night, and I think this will be it. Im looking forward to these two athletes fighting for their jobs, or at least making their way up the rankings in the top 10. I personally think Cavalcante has the skill to make a push for top five, and it will start here with a KO of Bader. Gabzilla: Bader will win this one. I just love his intensity and I think he will win by strikes. His last fight was amazing and I think he wants to keep going with that streak Brendan Schaub (10-3-0) vs Andrei Arlovski (21-10-0) JC: I was at the match when Arlovski fought Fedor. The whole arena went silent watching Arlovski use his technical striking to control the best of the best. That is until he dropped his hands and jumped chin first at the best power puncher in the world. That pretty much sums up Arlovski. Amazing skill, coupled with the amazing ability to make a massive mistake that costs himself the fight. He hasnt looked sharp yet in his fights, but he hasnt looked bad either. All that negative and youd think Id say Schaub is going to get this. I dont think that will be the case. Arlovski will control the stand up early, Schaub will go for the take down. Once this is on the ground, I think the Russian Sambo specialist will surprise Schaub. Arlovski will get a submission to end the night. Gabzilla: Schaub should take this one. I think he will win by submission; he is out to prove himself as an elite grappler since his performance at Metamoris. Metamoris: Schaub vs Cyborg was a bad showing for Brendan, but since then Schuab has been out to prove the haters wrong. ' ' '
