VivoAquatics is exhibiting and presenting at Apartmentalize, NAA's annual education conference, from June 13-16, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Center. Gather with more than 9,000 industry pros and 500+ exhibitors and load up on the hottest trends and strategies!
Visit us at Booth 2211 and don't forget to attend our education session:
Pool/Spa Operations, Sustainability and Safety: Improve Your Facility Today
Friday June 15th 10:45-11:15
Stage C, Booth 3131
We will review the present state of industry, state of water, sustainability efforts, issues effecting the industry and future trends. Each year, over 4,000 people end up in the emergency room due to poor water chemistry. Swimming pools, spas and water features are a Top 3 guest amenity with poor conditions leading to negative reviews and occupancy. One in eight public pools and spas is shut down after an inspection for safety concerns, and over 50% of spas are believed to be in violation of local health ordinances. We will guide properties to best practices to avoid the negative and provide a safe, fun and sustainable aquatic environment.
We look forward to seeing you there.

First week in August. That means here in Fickle-Spacetime-land we're fast approaching deep summer, where the days get shorter and the hum of the nighttime insects gets heavy and thick. There's a sense that the wildlife has settled in. Life in general is operating smoothly: leaves have their chlorophyll, mosquitoes their flesh to feed on. Nothing to do now but wait for that awful slide into cold, gray, sludgy autumn, and then start looking over your shoulder for the snow and ice to set in.
God, I hate winter.
I don't know if that's going to be different this year. We've kind of had a packed summer, you see. Lots of visiting and vacationing and camp, camp, camp. You'd think that summer would be a relaxing, fun time for kids and parents alike. This year, though, it seems like I can't keep my head on straight for all the new scheduling I have to do. Instead of wandering down the block to the bus stop, I have to pick up Little Fickle at his camp a whole hour and a half earlier than he gets home from school. Then, what to do with Little Fickle (a chatty seven-year-old) in all that extra time? Stick him in front of the computer for two hours? No, can't have that. He's on the spectrum, so too much unstructured screen time isn't good for him. The Parenting Police would haul me away. Or else I'd suffer the sort of existential paralysis that happens because we twenty-first-century parents feel like we need to interfere with and coordinate every waking minute of our children's lives, or else Something Bad Will Happen at some future date.
That's what it feels like to me, at least, even though I try to stay away from parenting manuals and other mom-advice literature (because it all makes me even more anxious). Or maybe I'm just reacting to a parenting culture I don't understand. Around here, there are a lot of nannies, a lot of part-time dads, and many, many people who seem baffled by (what seems to me, at least) relatively easy stuff.
Here's an example: Little Fickle and I went to get some ice cream the other day. We came out of the store, frozen treats in hand, only to find a group of kids and parents already sitting on the sidewalk steps. Not a big deal, until everyone leaped up and pressed themselves against the storefront. I heard the buzz of a cicada nearby, and the father of two elementary-school girls said something like, "I think that big guy's done for."
"It's so big! Is it a wasp?" one of the girls said.
I wandered over. "It's a cicada," I told her. Because it clearly was. A big, fat cicada on its back, flailing around like it was desperately treading water.
Even after I told them what it was, no one in the group moved. A knot of people–two adults and three kids–with frozen treats melting in their hands, stood and stared at an insect (albeit a big, loud one) and did nothing but watch it struggle. The older boy in the crowd didn't even offer to step on it.
I suppose I was the only one there who knew what a cicada was, and that it wasn't dangerous or lethal. That's the only explanation I can come up with as to why they let me walk down the steps and start trying to nudge it with my sandal into some mulch. They all stood, silent and unmoving, when soon after I bent over and tried to scoop it up with a napkin, so I could get it away from the seating area and it could do its frantic death dance in peace. (At one point, it was spinning so fast it made a perfect pinwheel.)
I must have inadvertently set it on its feet, because after a few seconds of me and my fumbling napkin, the cicada stopped whirling and took off. "Bye!" I said, not knowing what else to say to an insect that I'd been told was dying but apparently wasn't. The group of people I'd saved from a harmless creature never said thank you. They meandered to another spot on the sidewalk and left the steps to my son and me. Maybe that was what we got in return for intervening. The little girl who was afraid of wasps asked me what cicadas do. "I think they hang out in trees and buzz," I said, which wasn't a particularly useful response, either. Her dad, meanwhile, had started checking his iphone, while the mother and the older boy had disappeared into the store.
This isn't much of a story, I know, and it seems designed to make me look like the hero of the story, the Knight in Shining White Armor or the civilized woman in the land of ungrateful brutes, which I kind of feel like I was. I really can't shade this one in any socially palatable way. The kids' fears I understand, but the fact that the other adults on the scene made no effort to do anything other than let me clean things up, like I was the babysitter, makes me wonder if they can deal with snot or shit or vomit without help. Has the whole country become so infantile? Should I start teaching my son survival skills, so that he'll know how to cope when civilization crumbles around him?
Oy. Truthfully, I try not to dwell on apocalyptic slippery slopes most of the time. That's a symptom of my anxiety disorder, one of the many medical issues I shepherd around with me on a day-to-day basis. For Little Fickle, we've instituted a nice little routine after camp. He comes home, goes to the bathroom, tells me three things about his day to jot down in a notebook (otherwise he forgets what he's done), then we have Mommy-Little Fickle time, where we take turns picking activities to do together. Many times the activity involves watching TV, but I don't care. Most days, I figure parenting is probably much simpler than I make it out to be. Plus I know what a cicada is. And so does my son.
Okay, way past time to stop for today. Self-righteous net-rant over. Bye for now, Fickle Readers!

Frank Rich, NY Times, for his op-ed on slurs and threats thrown at a few Democrats by some loons:
How curious that a mob fond of likening President Obama to Hitler knows so little about history that it doesn't recognize its own small-scale mimicry of Kristallnacht.
For those inclined to think that that's a remotely relevant analogy, Kristallnacht was a government "coordinated attack on Jewish people and their property, 91 Jews were murdered and 25,000 to 30,000 were arrested and placed in concentration camps. 267 synagogues were destroyed, and thousands of homes and businesses were ransacked." It's a slanderous comparison.
MARK THOMPSON: Yeah, this is crazy. And they're suggesting ... the Republicans are defending themselves by saying this is happening on both sides. This is not happening on both sides.
REP. GRAYSON: Well, I think that's what they said about the burning of the Reichstag, if I recall correctly.
What we're seeing here are continuing efforts on the part of some left-liberals to use the ravings of a small fringe to delegitimize any dissent (and to fund raise). (See prior post Politicizing Threats.)
Indeed, at this point, an observer with a predilection for conspiracy theories would be wondering whether these efforts are being coordinated by dark forces. <TONGUE IN CHEEK>My money's on the Free Masons and the Trilateral Commission as being at the center of the vast left-wing conspiracy.</TONGUE IN CHEEK>

Being thankful is all you need to be everyday, every month, and every year. I have a list of things which I'm thankful for, and I'm sure you do too. I can't say this is my once-a-year time to be thankful, though. Everyday I'm thankful for so much, I'd say it changes daily, and I might not always say it out loud.
Opportunities are endless, and I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've opened up for myself. I'm taking control of what I truly want, and for that I am forever grateful. Today I wish I could be with my momma, but she will make her way out here to see me for Christmas. I do, however, get to spend this day with my loving boyfriend, Michael, and his family.
It is so amazing how they make me feel just like family. His mom knows how much I love her breakfast and seems to always make it for me. His dad always seems to know how much I love mimosas, and will always make them for me. As for Michael, he gives me all the love, compliments, and attention I need, and for that I am so thankful.
So, sometimes it can be the small things or the big things you are thankful for. As for me, I'd say it's the little things that make it all so big.
I sure hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with family and friends. Eat a lot and sleep off that turkey. P.S. Every item I'm wearing is linked 🙂

Pumpkin pieMonday, November 23rd, 2009
I spent most of today feeling really fatigued. I kind of sleepwalked through the day. When I got home I was informed that my roommates were planning on feeding me.
"Great," I said, "I'll make pie.
I made it from scratch. It wasn't quite as good as it looks, and I was kind of disappointed. This calls for further experimentation. Yes please, they said. I must be really out of shape these days because rolling out the dough for the crust has left me pretty sore.
'Bash it down' is the name of a song my roommate wrote in high school. It took him a while to notice it after I took it out of the oven. "It's like you made it for me!" he said. He was pretty excited.
At dinner we cracked open another bottle of our new wine. I don't know what's in that stuff but it goes straight to my head. I spent quite a bit of time after dinner laying on the floor taking pictures of the cat.

No topic seems more complicated, fascinating and important to
us than ourselves. And within the human domain, it is emotion
that continues to baffle us down the ages. Dylan Evans' new book,
Emotion, aims to satisfy our curiosity and deliver a certain
set of answers (or at least to map the current research domain)
to questions about emotions, the way they function, their various
aspects etc.. In the best tradition of popular science Evans presents
us with a somewhat simplified take on what emotions are and why
we have them. His focus on the socio-biological aspects of emotion,
his functional line of argumentation (e.g. "The question
of why we cry when distressed has baffled evolutionists",
p.43) and his deliberate falling back on evolutionary explanations
leave the reader feeling a little like a guinea pig herself, with
the uncomfortable sense that human life has been reduced to an
endless run through cognitive and emotional labyrinths. "Emotions
are here - much like anything else, really - to help us breed
and propagate our species" seems to be the uniform answer
this book offers. But is that a satisfactory answer?
The book contains five chapters that cover the following topics:
the question whether emotions are culturally acquired and therefore
relative, or innate and therefore universal (perhaps even hardwired,
although that is an altogether different question); various views
on the relationship between emotion and reason; mood altering
techniques from meditation to cocaine; the contribution of emotions
to cognitive functioning; and research on emotions in artificial
On an informative level the book is rather fascinating. It incorporates
a lot of up-to-date information on various experiments conducted
in the above areas and analyses it intelligently. But on a broader
level it seems somewhat impoverished. For Evans, emotions are
neural responses that evolved in order to ensure our survival.
But this general explanation seems to be committing a double crime:
first, it is a post-hoc explanation, telling us why what actually
exists is in a way 'the best of all possible worlds', when it
so obviously isn't. Second, it does not tell us much about the
present function of emotions in modern life, but only harks back
to the past, when jealousy made sure that only our genes would
be passed on, and anger helped us get the bigger chunk of mammoth
for supper. These explanations seem too tentative to be taken
as the alpha and omega of the serious questions posed by Evans,
and moreover give us nothing in the way of thinking about the
future. So, for example, we feel guilt because it is advantageous
to us, since we tend to trust people who are known to have a conscience.
Certainly this can explain some of the situations in which we
feel guilt, or in which we are baffled by its absence, but do
we really only host emotions that are beneficial for us? Revenge
might help the notorious reputation of the neighborhood bully,
but doesn't she also have social needs other than the need to
protect her property? And moreover, if "revenge is etched
deep into our biology" (p.55) why does it appear in different
forms in different places, and why is it only common in certain
political climates? Are some people more 'genetically vengeful'
than others? And how are depression, a broken heart, the jealousy
of a rejected lover, functional and beneficial emotions?
This line of explanation seems to satisfy the question 'why' we
have emotions, but does not put into question the 'what' 'how'
and 'whence', which seem more crucial if we are to make concrete
political and social progress through our understanding of the
way people act, think and respond. There is a certain dimension
of simplification in claims such as "People who never get
angry never get ahead" (p.58), which Evans uses to explain
anger. Similarly, his functional explanation of envy as the source
of social equality (envy of those who have more would lead to
a demand to correct the inequality) raises the following question:
if envy is beneficial because it prevents inequality (p.66), how
come the world evolved to be the harbinger of inequality, tort
and injustice?
Claiming that falling in love, having friends and feeling joy
are simply successful strategies of passing on our genes (p.74)
tells us very little about human behavior, emotion and interaction.
The complexity and intensity of social engagement, and the plethora
of social organization are hardly addressed or explained by references
to our furry ancestors. It seems that today's world, so overwhelmingly
past the point of the nature/ culture distinction, needs to look
forward from the point at which we stand at present, rather than
look back to the days in which hanging from trees and cracking
nuts were our only worries.
All this does not detract from the fact that this is a friendly
survey of current research on emotion, and an eye-opener in the
sense the author intended it to be: it opens up questions and
provides us with intelligent pointers on what is, indeed, the
most fascinating topic known to humankind.

Wreath Handling Instructions
All McFadden Bay and Herb Wreaths and Swags are in the process of drying when shipped. For this reason, please follow these instructions to insure proper curing:
- Upon receipt, immediately remove the wreaths from shipping box. Proper air circulation is necessary to aid the slow drying process.
- We typically stack plain wreaths to ship them. When you receive them, simply shake to fluff them up. We do not recommend displaying them in this stacked manner as the leaves tend to compress.
- Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Refrigerator storage is fine but temperatures below freezing will damage the leaves.
- For bay products, a light mist can be applied to the leaves to enhance freshness and slow drying.
- For three herb wreaths, we cure these wreaths for 1-2 days prior to shipping to remove troublesome moisture in the leaf. Do not mist or attempt to re-hydrate the wreaths.
- McFadden Farm makes these wreaths to order. We recommend smaller orders to insure turnover. The wreaths are beautiful dry but easier to sell when fresh.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.

China is fast becoming the place in the world to do business, and the only place now in the world where growth figures are still in the positive. Old superpowers such as western Europe can only mire in their EU bureaucracy while the euro sinks further in value.
When you switch on the television, there are always at least one report on China every single day.
I happened to be doing just that the other day when the Chinese man being interviewed was presented as "Jason Li".
Now, Jason's English was relatively good for a Chinese person. You could make out what he was trying to say if you knew Mandarin yourself. But otherwise any effort to comprehend his English was futile.
Why on earth does he call himself Jason? Read more

Photographer's Note
Vienna - Schönbrunn Palace (German: Schloss Schönbrunn is a former imperial 1441-room Rococo summer residence in modern Vienna, Austria. One of the most important cultural monuments in the country, since the 1960s it has been one of the major tourist attractions in Vienna. The palace and gardens illustrate the tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs.
In the year 1569, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II purchased a large floodplain of the Wien river beneath a hill, situated between Meidling and Hietzing, where a former owner, in 1548, had erected a mansion called Katterburg. The emperor ordered the area to be fenced and put game there such as pheasants, ducks, deer and boar, in order to serve as the court's recreational hunting ground. In a small separate part of the area, "exotic" birds such as turkeys and peafowl were kept. Fishponds were built, too.
The name Schönbrunn (meaning "beautiful spring"), has its roots in an artesian well from which water was consumed by the court.
During the next century, the area was used as a hunting and recreation ground. Especially Eleonora Gonzaga, who loved hunting, spent much time there and was bequeathed the area as her widow's residence after the death of her husband, Ferdinand II. From 1638 to 1643, she added a palace to the Katterburg mansion, while in 1642 came the first mention of the name "Schönbrunn" on an invoice. The origins of the Schönbrunn orangery seem to go back to Eleonora Gonzaga as well.
Following the downfall of the monarchy in 1918 the newly founded Austrian Republic became the owner of Schönbrunn Palace and preserved, as a museum, the rooms and chambers.
After World War II and during the Allied Occupation of Austria (1945–1955) Schönbrunn Palace, which was empty at the time, was requisitioned to provide offices for both the British Delegation to the Allied Commission for Austria and for the Headquarters for the small British Military Garrison present in Vienna.
Later it was used for important events such as the meeting between John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev in 1961.
UNESCO catalogued Schönbrunn Palace on the World Heritage List in 1996, together with its gardens, as a remarkable Baroque ensemble and example of synthesis of the arts (Gesamtkunstwerk).

Hallo, Krzysztof,
Oh, I see you spent your time for visit of Schönbrunn Palace! How long? 2-3 hours? I remember when I saw that turn... Oh, no - I said. Better I see this park and area around the Palace.

Independent Shopping guide: Introduction
- Kirstin Innes
- 16 April 2009
In a recession, small businesses are usually hit worst. Shopping Editor Kirstin Innes channels the spirit of the Blitz as she launches our campaign to support local, independent shops
Consider this collection of articles a celebration, and a call to arms. Independent, locally run businesses – the cafes, bars and shops run by locals who know what their neighbourhood wants – are as vital a part of the character of a city as the architecture that shapes it. However, there's a recession on (we don't know if you've heard …?), and all over Glasgow and Edinburgh, little local shops are shutting down, losing out to the easy lure of the high street and to credit-crunched consumers cutting costs. Many Edinburgh retailers have been doubly hit, with the tram works blocking consumer access and public transport. Despite the City Council's laudable Open For Business campaign (check them out at www.edinburghshopper.co.uk), five shops have closed down on Leith Walk alone since the developments began at the end of 2007.
We want to stop this happening, but we need your help. Sure, that high street coat may be a bit cheaper than something hand-made by a young Scottish designer, but you know deep down in your bargain-hunting heart that it'll fall to pieces after a few wears. And while your choice to buy CDs or books from independent stockists won't even be noticed at Waterstones and HMV, it could make all the difference to an Avalanche or a Lost In Fiction. We want you to use your imagination as well as your consumer power, and refuse to settle for the same mass-manufactured products as everyone else.
Obviously, what follows is not completely comprehensive: there are a vast amount of local businesses out there, and we can only really scratch the surface. What we've tried to do is pick up on areas in Edinburgh and Glasgow where indie businesses shape the community around them in some way.
Accompanying all of this is our brand new online shopping guide, which we hope to build into the definitive listing source for Edinburgh and Glasgow's indie stores. You can find it at www.list.co.uk/shoppingguide. We're going to be continually updating it: let us know if we've missed out your favourite vintage store or local bike shop on email@example.com.
Now go forth, and consume for your community!

|Rather than show the scorched building,
I am showing the front of the church.
The mission of the saints
The church I attended as a child and grew up in, burst into flames last Saturday, gutting much of the structure. We aren't sure why. Someone suggested a new boiler might have been an issue. Within seconds, beloved church friends formed a message thread on Facebook to pray. We invited childhood friends who had moved to other states and shared with them what we knew.
Those living locally watched the news and reported updates. One person walked close to the scene to get pictures and post them.
My heart ached horribly over the event. So many memories, all in praise and honor to the King.
We stayed up into the very late hours, sharing God's work accomplished in that building, and rose early the next day to tell how we had been changed for the kingdom and how we witnessed others change and grow strong in a new faith.
Tragedies like this are so very bitter to taste.
Those involved---plus an added outer layer of new friends who never set foot in that building, yet tenderly saw our anguish--drew together as a body of believers despite distance separating us over time.
Those attending the church now have a choice to clear the area and build a new building or rebuild and repair damaged areas. For now, worship will take place on the grounds. It's cold outside. Please pray for those still living in the neighborhood.
As for the rest of us who moved too far away to roll up our sleeves and help, our memories have been stirred to the great work God did and will do in days and years to come. We also have many other ways to help the rebuilding of a beloved facility used by saints to continue the work in that neighborhood.
May God bless and grow ministries all over the world, serving Him.
Tragedy isn't easy. I soaked many tissues. God always knows. He always cares. And He will always be our strong tower. How has God blessed you or someone you know after a tragedy?

This attempt of propagation of ideas and values of a classroom for the set of the society as form to not only camouflage, but also to strengthen its domination, makes with that, in certain way, if they disqualify, if minimizes initiatives of transformation proceeding from the too much component classrooms of the society. If the domination and the exploration of a classroom form perceivable as violence, that is, as to be able unjust and illegitimate, the dominated explored ones and are felt in just and the legitimate right to refuse it, rebelling itself. For this reason, the specific paper of the ideology is to hinder that the domination and the exploration are perceived in its concrete reality. For in such a way, it is function of the ideology to dissimulate and to occult the existence of the social divisions as division of classrooms, being thus hidden, its proper origin. If you are unsure how to proceed, check out Evergreen Capital Partners. For being the instrument in charge to occult the social divisions, the ideology must equally transform the particular ideas of the ruling class into universal, valid ideas pair all the society, propagated the all moment for the medias of mass, appears in the common events of our daily one and aims at to influence our behavior. A composed ideology accurately of the images of harmony, identity conflict absence. The institutions as the state apparatus (governmental bodies), the medias of mass, the religion and the school (when inculcar the forms of justification, legitimation and occultation of the differences and it conflict of classrooms) would be responsible for the reproduction of the dominant ideology enter the members of the capitalist society. The ideology becomes the privileged field of creation of new values or recriao of the old ones with a new direction, is one of the main fields where if they create new values, that, many diffuse or latent times, they finally find formularization in an ideological project that the explicit one, when conditioning and to motivate behaviors. Central Park Conservancy has compatible beliefs. Therefore, it is basic to try to understand the ideology and its mechanisms so that if it can understand our proper society, unmasking and analyzing the complexity of the relations occulted in the ideological curtains.

People are consuming more energy every day with their daily activities, utility companies are trying to find ways to keep pace with the needs. The Internet of Things is able to provide solutions to utility companies to make energy usage more efficient. One device that is helping utility companies to be more efficient is the use of Smart meters, there are also solutions for water management, lighting, and gas to name a few that are adding Smart Connected Devices to monitor, manage and track energy usage. These smart devices are helping to manage and control energy use.
Water Management:
Conserving water is a very high priority for many countries in the world, as well as here in the U.S., the shortage of fresh water for consumption is something that is a concern for everyone, as the scarcity of water in a world where 1.1 billion find it hard to access to water and 2.7 billion people are not able to find clean water. This is something that world has been concerned with for many decades.
The Internet of Things is able to help with monitoring water in states that experience droughts frequently. Take for example California, this state like others experience droughts regularly and government officials have to take drastic measure to reduce the unnecessary use of water in their districts as a result smart water management solutions are becoming more and more popular.
Smart water sensors are now able to track usage in an individual's home and throughout the cities, these sensors are able to provide data so that the homeowner, business owner, and city management can review data of their usage and make adjustments to reduce waste of water. There are sensors to check water quality, temperature, pressure, consumption and clarity of water that is being used for the public.
Lighting Industry:
Electricity conservation is another area that needs solutions to conserve energy, the sensors use has made great strides in saving energy for years. This is seen with building and their smart lighting solutions to turn off lights in schools, office building, and shopping stores when people are not in certain areas. These solutions started with turning the lights off when people are not present, using sensors to monitor movement, but solutions are getting more advanced and more aggressive with energy consumption concerning lights.
Sensor modules for lighting solutions are becoming more complex and sophisticated for fixtures and lamps, not only can they turn lights on and off, but have smart capabilities to shut off certain fixtures based on the natural light coming into a space, also these advanced fixtures can dim or brighten fixtures automatically when necessary based on usage.
Gas Industry:
The electric car is the most obvious in conserving gas, with the growth of electric cars in the last decade, more people purchasing hybrid cars is making an impact, but there needs to be more adoption so that we are not relying on gas as a means of energy for transportation.
HVAC companies like boiler manufacturers are moving rapidly to IoT solutions for their clients, these solutions are providing great saving with a monitored gas boiler for not only commercial and industrial environments but also with residential environments as well. Boiler manufacturers are able to provide detailed information to the end users of these systems so they can see where their money is going out the window. Vensi is working with different manufacturers of these critical boilers, and are providing invaluable data so that boilers can run more efficiently saving money for the users.
The conservation of energy is everyone's job to save the planet for future generations, with the integration of smart connected devices, the conversation of energy will be achieved by reducing the unnecessary waste of energy. Our goal should be using efficiently to save energy for future.
"Energy Saved is equal to Energy Created"
Vensi has been developing solutions that are making a difference in saving energy with our partners, by helping them with connected device integration into their water management, lighting and gas systems to help make visibility of consumption easier.

Kleenex Eye Makeup Removal Wipes: £2.99*
lazy girls makeup removal
I try not to use makeup wipes, but the convienace is always a temptation and going those extra few steps to my bathroom to wash my makeup off with a cleansing balm seem just too far some nights. The wipes themselves are smaller than your average face wipe and come in packs of 24. I normally use one per eye. I found they didnt irritate my eyes or feel like they were tugging too much. My makeup took a little longer to remove than it would when I use a Micellar water but when you're feeling lazy even putting the Micealler water on a cotton pad seems like extra effort.
I dont reccomend using these on your face, but just on the eye area. But overall they are a good cheap eye makeup remover that does work and is suitable for sensitive eyes. They don't leave any greasy residue on or around the eyes which is a big plus for me. They retail for £2.99 which I think is a pretty fair price for what they are. Perfect for travelling or staying over at a friends house but I wouldn't recommend them for long term use.

Salsa has a rarely-used table called "supporter_volunteer" . The supporter_volunteer table contains some helpful volunteer information that can be added to a supporter via a signup page.
Note: There can be more than one supporter_volunteer record for each supporter. If this will not work for you, then you should consider using groups and supporter custom fields instead.
At the time that this article was written, only the "Availability" field is populated by signup pages. The field is displayed to supporters when "For volunteers, request availability" checkbox clicked in the "Options" tab of the signup page editor.
This is a sample signup page that requests availability.
Here's a sample of the extra volunteer information that can be added to your signup page:
If your volunteer efforts could be more effective with any or all of these fields, then read on!
The solution is to add some HTML and a script to each of your donation pages where you'd like to collect additional volunteer information. Here are some steps that you can use.
Configure the signup page
- Edit the signup page.
- Click on the "Options" tab.
- Click the "For volunteers, request availability" checkbox, then save your work.

If you think checks are outdated, think again. Although debit cards and electronic transfers are popular, checks aren't going away any time soon. According to researchers at the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, checks have been used for 1,000 years, and they're still safe and convenient. If you've opened a new checking account, learn to write checks properly. Then you can use them to put money down on a car or pay college tuition.
Step 1
Fill out the check register or stub before writing your check so you don't forget this important step. Put the check number, date, description of the transaction and amount of the check. You'll find the check number in the upper right-hand corner of your check.
Step 2
Write the complete date, month and year in the space provided near the top right of the check. Use the actual date, not a future date, because a post-dated check might not be accepted. Write clearly with permanent blue or black ink to avoid fraud or mistakes in reading your check.
Step 3
Write the name of the organization or individual you're paying in the "Pay to the order of" area. If space allows, spell out all the words without abbreviations.
Step 4
Fill in the amount of the check in digits in the space after the dollar sign, writing as close to the dollar sign as possible. Write the cents either as a decimal or a fraction -- $10.55 or $10 55/100.
Step 5
Write out the dollar amount in words and the cents as a fraction on the line ending in "Dollars." Begin as far as possible to the left. For example, write "Two hundred fifty and 57/100." Draw a wavy line from the end of the amount to the word "Dollars."
Step 6
Write your name in the signature line the same way you wrote it on the bank's signature card.
Step 7
Write down the purpose of the check in the "Memo" line on the bottom left. This step is optional, but it will jog your memory when you review copies of your checks online.
Keep an accurate running total in your check register to avoid nonpayment of checks and fees for insufficient funds.
These days, some stores process a check as an electronic check, meaning the money comes out of your account almost immediately.
A felt-tip marker isn't the same as a pen. Use real ink. Don't write a messy signature because it makes forgery easier.
Use your check register to track expenses for your budget.
Checks save merchants money. In some cases, you can get a better deal with a check than with a credit card.
When writing a check to yourself, it's safer to write your name rather than "Cash." That way you'll have to sign to get the money.
If the numerical and written-out amounts don't match, the amount in words counts.
Use "and" in the written amount only before the cents to avoid confusion. For example, write "Two hundred fifty and 75/100."

Executives at Comcast must be tired of hearing people talk about "cutting the cable" and ditching their cable television subscriptions for video on the Web. The company announced that in the coming months they'll be working at MIT to test live television delivered over the Internet, meaning the cable television experience you're used to getting, just over IP and not via coax or fiber.
Comcast has made strides giving its customers new ways to catch their favorite shows and access on-demand content via the Web or their mobile device. Even so, they've seen stiff competition from Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu, who all offer massive catalogs of on-demand and streaming content available to customers at any time on multiple mobile and set-top devices.
If Comcast's new TV-over-IP technology becomes real, it could replace the need for set-top boxes in the traditional sense. Instead, live television would be available to any device that can connect to the Internet. It would also give Comcast the flexibility to update the appearance and amount of content being "broadcast" with minimal effort.
Comcast will start the test at MIT, where users on campus with Internet access will be able to connect their computers or Internet-capable TVs to the network and watch television the way they would if they were connected to a cable box. Comcast says that the explosion of Internet-capable entertainment devices are part of the driving factor for a move like this – they want to be able to deliver TV to customers where they want it, and on the devices they want to use.
The technology would also allow Comcast to deliver television service – subscription based, of course – to any customer anywhere with an Internet connection. That means Comcast would be one of the first cable providers to rise above the fundamental question consumers have to ask when signing up for television service: "Who services my area?"

Now a days mobile usage is going beyond limit and people are finding more fun in playing games on their mobile device rather than computers. Ever since the competition in gaming group very large in market. Players would like challenge, beat the score of his/her social friend's etc.
In Juego Studios we found a better solution to build multiplayer game for mobiles, online and desktop platforms, which are fun and entertains to the user. We match the player & his friends to play games on real time. We tried with various multiplayer service provider SDKs, and selected few best of them to make robust and flexible multiplayer game.
We used uLink from "Much Different" to make most of our multiplayer PC and console games. Since it gives more flexibility and security for MMO games via internet and LAN. We optimised our code by pushing the uLink and Unity limits to run game in low bandwidth condition as well, by keeping the same gameplay quality.
Photon Realtime plugin from "PUN" we used for the mobile games, since it is very light weight and runs better even in mobile courier networks. Even though it supports few number of players to play the game in realtime, it gave us very good base to make better multiplayer.
The conclusion is, even though SDKs changes day by day, the core technology and algorithms are just improving to make the games more realistic and entertaining each on of us.

Slot Car Track Design
Designing a Track Layout and Building a Slot Car Track Table
Allen & Allen Motor Speedway Raring track building. The basic idea is to start with a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood as the basis for your design. However, some lumber/building supply stores carry other sizes that may work well for you, such as 5' x 5' or 5' x 10', 9' x 5' etc... It's a good idea to check with your local stores to see what sizes they have available before you start your track design.
Once you know the plywood sizes that are available, take a good look at the space you have. Make sure you have room to walk around the table as needed. The time-saving way to build a table is to use as much of a full sheet as possible. (For example, if you find a 9 x 5 layout you like, but your sheets are only available in 8 x 4, you have created a lot of work for yourself. Or hopefully, you own a ping table or can buy one!)
If you want a fairly large table, take a look at our article below on modular table design. If you are making a small table, and are on a tight budget. Let's say, you don't have room for a permanent table, but don't want the hassle of setting it up and taking it down? How about designing one that folds up on a wall or one that you can use a pulley system and lower from a ceiling! Come on, you have some unused ceiling space don't ya? (hm.. maybe not the living room though, we're thinking?... Take a look at the article below written by Ninco.
Other ideas when considering table dimensions
The main one to consider is the overall area and shape of the table. This, of course, is normally dictated by the space you have available (as well as your budget). One thing you need to keep in mind is the ability to 'track marshal' a table, to rescue cars that have crashed and get them back into the slot. We do sell slot car grabbers to help with this. But even with a grabber, you don't want a 10' foot wide table up against a wall if you can help it. Pay particular attention to corners, this is where most of the track marshaling is needed. Normally straightaways aren't so bad, but crashes occur everywhere on the track! Some larger track layouts have cut-outs in the middle of the table where a track marshal is located to take care of this problem.
What about 4 lane layouts?
The biggest concern with 4 lane layouts besides the space required obviously in either analog or digital is lap counting.
~ 4 lane, (or larger) Analog Layouts, you will need to purchase an aftermarket lap counting system as none of the track set manufacturers make any analog lap counter for over two lanes. (Now if you could split the lanes apart in your layout enough to set up two lap counters etc.. then you would be in good shape and this is the cheapest solution to 4 lane lap counting.)
~ Digital Layouts Ninco NDigital is the only digital track system designed for 4, 6, or a crazy 8 lane track layout with lap counting for all lanes. Carrera, SCX, and Scalextric will let you have more lanes than two throughout the track, but you have to come down to 2 lanes at the Start/Finish line. So, depending on which brand you have your heart set on, you will need to alter your track design accordingly.
How do I make my layout line up?
You can fix this problem with some half, quarter and fifth straight sections. To make up a small shortfall in length (or if your track is a little long) replace a full straight with a combination of a half, quarter, fifths; whatever the brand has to offer
*For Scalextric, half (C8207), quarter (C8200), fifth's (C8236) are available.
*For Carrera, third (20611), a quarter (20612) are your choices; no half straights are available.
*For SCX (universal/digital) half (20020), quarter (20130) or 'closing' (20250) are available.
* And with Ninco, half (10103), a quarter (20130) or 'closing' (10114) straights.
On 4-lane layouts, sometimes there will be a gap between the inside and outside track sections. Combinations of fifths and quarters can be used to lengthen the inside sections or shorten the outside sections. You can also use this technique to help line up track. If your track is to the left or right, look back towards a curve, just add a 'closing' straight into your curve, and you could be all set.
How and why do I want separate power supplies for each lane? (analog track, not digital!)
Powering each analog lane separately requires a transformer for each lane. This supplies more amperage needed to run strong-magnet cars or cars with hop-up motors. Also, where two or more cars are powered by the same source and there is not enough amperage to go around, the cars fight each other to get enough power. When one car de-slots or stops, the other one gets a blast of amperage that can send it off the track if it happens at a critical deceleration point (and it always seems to). Also, a good thing to keep in mind: in general, the more amperage a car draws, the lower the desired resistance rating of the controller (measured in ohms) will be. As an example, Scalextric sets come with 70-ohm controllers, which are fine for the cars that come in the sets. With hotter cars, you will need 25 to 45 ohm controllers to achieve maximum control. (See our controller info to learn about choosing the right analog controller.)
Where do I need walls or guard rails?
You will want to put a wall around the entire perimeter of your table to keep de-slotted cars from leaving the table and heading for the floor. About 2 inches normally does a good job, except at the end of a long straight where full-throttle crashes may send cars flying much higher. We use 4-inch wide 1/16" clear sheet Lexan for the walls on our table, extending 2" above the table top all around except for a piece extending about 10" above the table and 2 feet long right at the end of our longest straight as insurance against a flying car going hurting one of our racers, or destroying a hot car! With walls on the edges of the table and borders in all the necessary places on the track, you can dispense with guardrails at the border edges, except where a de-slotting car might land on another part of the track.
What are the track borders for and where do I need to use them?
The borders allow the car on the outside lane to slide out on the turns as much as the cars on the other lanes do without running up against the guardrail or putting a wheel off the track edge; either of these things will usually cause the car to de-slot. You should use borders on the outside of all curved track sections, on the straights before and after each turn for at least two full straight track sections, and on the inside of any turn immediately following a turn in the opposite direction. If you plan to run your track in both directions, make sure you have placed the borders in the appropriate places for both directions of travel. The straight and inside borders allow the cars to get straightened out after a curve without dropping a wheel off the edge of the track.
For track layout ideas, click on your brand link below. Keep in mind, Carrera is the widest track, Ninco is in the middle, and SCX and Scalextric are basically identical. So, most SCX and Scalextric layouts would work for either brand. It is also very easy to modify a digital layout to an analog one and vice versa in general. However, if you have your heart set on Carrera, please know that this track just takes more room. It is surprising how much at times. Take a good look at some of our existing layouts in our catalog pages.

What height should my table be?
A good height is about 33 inches from the floor. This height seems to provide a good view of the track for all but the smallest children. The height works well for turn marshaling around the layout. People can reach all parts of the track without having to bend over too far.
What if my layout will be used mostly by young children?
A track that will be used primarily by young children will be easier for them to work with if it's about 24" from the floor. This is a little low for comfort for most adults, but not excessively so. You and your kids can still enjoy racing together comfortably.
What is the best way to fasten Scalextric track to a table?
To fasten Scalextric track to a table you can use C8232 track clips. These slip into the edges of Sports track and allow you to use a wire brad to fasten your track down. On the older Classic track, you can carefully drill, using a 1/16" drill, a hole from the underside, through the center of the nub that the connector from the next piece of track fits on. This will allow you to use a ¾" wire brad (not included) through the hole to fasten your track down. You can use black paint or a felt-tipped marker to touch up the nail heads so they do not show as much.
What is the best way to fasten Carrera track to a table?
You can easily fasten a Carrera track to a wooden table using 85209 track table-top fasteners. Simply insert the fastener into a pocket on the edge of the track, and fasten the clip to the table with a wood screw (not included).
What is the best way to fasten Ninco track to a table?
Ninco doesn't manufacture a track fastener as Scalextric and Carrera do. According to Ninco the best way to attach their track to a table is to attach a small finishing nail 2mm from track edge. Refer to figure 6 in this PDF.
What is the best way to fasten SCX track to a table?
Again, SCX didn't make provisions for this either, so our best advice is to follow Ninco's lead above. by attaching a nail 2mm from track edge. Refer to figure 6 in this PDF.
NOTE: If you choose to mount your track to a table without official mounting clips, remember to leave room near the screws for the track plastic to expand and contract.

5 Resources for Excel Macros to Automate Your Spreadsheets
The more you know about Excel 5 Courses to Upgrade Your Excel Skills and Save If you want to work smarter or even earn a raise, these bundles at MakeUseOf Deals can help Read More , the more powerful the software becomes. Once you're fairly comfortable with the application, it's well worth getting to grips with macros. Macros can help remove menial tasks from your workflow, giving you the time to focus on more important matters.
The simplest type of macro is a series of actions carried out manually, that you can "record" and perform again at the touch of a button. More advanced examples use VBA The Excel VBA Programming Tutorial for Beginners VBA is a Microsoft Office power tool. You can use it to automate tasks with macros, set triggers, and lots more. We'll introduce you to Excel visual basic programming with a simple project. Read More to automate complex processes.
Macros really come into their own once you're able to create them to suit the task at hand. However, these five sites will help you find existing macros that can save you time and effort.
1. /r/Excel
There's a subreddit for everything, and that includes Microsoft Excel. Reddit users discuss all aspects of the software, and macros are a popular topic of conversation. If you're looking for a particular kind of macro, your best bet is the site's search tools. However, if you simply want to see the best of the best, check out the coolest macro competition from October 2016.
With a $10 Amazon gift card on the line, users contributed their best macros. There's no particular theme, so it's a great look at what various people consider to be their most useful effort. The winner created a handy macro that allows users to go back to the last sheet they viewed in their current workbook.
Other notables include a way of inserting page numbers with consistent formatting 9 Tips for Formatting an Excel Chart in Microsoft Office First impressions matter. Don't let an ugly Excel chart scare off your audience. Here's everything you need to know about making your charts attractive and engaging in Excel 2016. Read More and a neat game to test player reflexes.
2. Excel Forum
Many Excel users rely on Excel Forum for help with their various projects and problems. The site hosts a forum dedicated to programming, VBA, and macros, and it's a great place to find new macros created by other users.
Typically, people ask for help, rather than posting finished macros The 10 Best OneNote Macros You Should Try OneNote is an awesome productivity tool on its own, but you can take it to the next level using macros. We show you how to get started and the best macros available now. Read More for others to use. This is great, because other user responses will often explain the thought process behind using certain techniques, rather than just how to execute them.
Unless you're looking for something in particular, the best way to navigate the site is by sorting threads by their number of views. That way, you'll see which topics have proven to be the most popular. Since Excel Forum has been active for more than a decade, there's plenty of content to sift through.
3. Mr. Excel
If you can't find what you're looking for on Excel Forum, Mr. Excel should be your next port of call. While it's not quite as expansive, this site has a similarly helpful user base with a deep knowledge of all things Excel.
Excel VBA Create New Workbook: 16 Easy-To-Follow Macro Examples https://t.co/xUUKjHZdk8 @PSpreadsheets
— Bill Jelen (@MrExcel) October 24, 2016
The one drawback to Mr. Excel is that it's not as well-categorized as Excel Forum. As a result, there's no separation between posts about macros and more general queries. However, you can easily get around this issue by running a search for "macro," or "VBA," or another similar term.
4. Chandoo
Chandoo is a popular resource for people learning about all aspects of Excel 14 Tips to Save Time in Microsoft Excel If Microsoft Excel has consumed a lot of your time in the past, let us show you how to get some of it back. These simple tips are easy to remember. Read More . However, one particularly useful element of the site is its broad library of demonstrative macros. A few interesting examples include a method of splitting text across cells, a way of fetching stock quotes, and tips on how to use your spreadsheet to send emails.
This is a great site for people learning Excel, as the macros are accompanied by tons of information. Rather than just giving you the code to figure out for yourself, there are often notes to explain how the macro works. You can certainly save time and effort by using someone else's macro, but Chandoo will help you learn how to create new macros for yourself.
5. Excel Easy
Excel Easy is another popular destination for people looking to improve their understanding of Excel. It's got plenty of tutorials for novices 3 Beginner Tips for Managing Worksheets in Excel Worksheets are the core essence of Excel. Here are a few tips that'll help you stay organized and productive. Read More through experts, but if you're focusing on macros, you'll want to check out its Examples section.
Examples hone in on a particular type of macro and explain how to create it step-by-step. You'll find tutorials on the very basics, up to more advanced topics like loops, and even expert projects like custom progress indicators.
Excel Easy has examples of all kinds of macros, and unlike the forums above, they're neatly organized by topic. However, the best part is the clarity and depth of the accompanying instructions. You're assembling these macros step-by-step, so you should end up with a full understanding of how they operate.
Next Steps With Excel Macros
If you understand what macros are and what they can do, you're a step ahead of the average Excel user. That said, to really get the most out of this feature, you should consider learning to make your own macros, rather than just relying on other people's creations.
Every Excel spreadsheet is different, and the tasks that need to be automated will vary from user to user. Creating your own macros means that they're tailored for your needs. The time you spend learning 4 Mistakes to Avoid When Programming Excel Macros With VBA Simple code is vital for Microsoft Excel power users. But how can you make or safely exit a for loop using VBA in Excel? Read More will be worth it once you can knock out simple macros to solve simple problems.
Creating macros doesn't have to be intimidating. You can start out by recording a macro, then delve into VBA with some of the step-by-step guides above. Before you know it, you'll be a bona fide macro master.
Are you looking for a particular Excel macro and finding nothing? Have you stumbled upon a cool macro that you want to share with other readers? Why not add your voice to the comments section below?

A Nature WalkMonday, April 13, 2009
Each year around this time, my family goes on the hunt for Monarch butterfly eggs to watch hatch into beautiful caterpillars, which in turn devour leaf after leaf on their journey to becoming a butterfly. We are in the migratory path of the butterflies making their way north and are just lucky enough to live a mere half mile away from one of their favorite egg laying fields.
The field is adjacent to a beautiful native park, where you can wind and twist through tall trees and brush and feel about a million miles away from the big city. This past weekend, after finding 5 Monarch eggs to take home to "raise," we trekked into the dense path and took in some inspiration from Mother Nature. What a beautiful way to reconnect with God on this Easter weekend.
What were you inspired by this past weekend?

She calls herself "the pot dealer"
"Want some pot?" a friend asked me over dinner.
Me, squinting: "Now? This is a family place!"
Turns out my friend was talking about Tanya Hong's pottery project, a charming line of pots marked with faces and breasts. The faces (often expressive, sometimes mustachioed) and breasts (pendulous, slightly saggy) are memorable, imbued with compelling attributes.
Hong is clearly amused by her subject matter. One image on her Instagram, featuring two mustached mugs, is captioned: "Hi! Kamustache? Wahaha"
You were clearly inspired by Group Partner's Isaac Nichols. How did your work evolve from your inspiration?
Yes, I was inspired by Group Partner, among other talented ceramicists on IG. But I want my stuff to make people go, "What a stupid looking face! I love it!"
How do you craft these characters? Are they inspired by people you know or are they purely from your imagination?
They are from my imagination. Sometimes I look at photos of random people and try to translate the expressions onto my work. But mostly I make them up as I go.
When you create, do you have a face—or boobs—in mind?
For the faces, no. For the boobs, it's much more personal. I'm pretty flat-chested, so I try to create my ideal pair of breasts—a little saggy with a lot of cup. Hehe.
What kind of clay do you work with?
I use polymer clay. Some people might think it's not "real" pottery because it's made of polymer clay, but it's what I'm comfortable with. Plus I don't have the space nor the budget for a kiln anyway.
Take us through your process.
I start with blank vessels. I make a bunch of them in one go. Then I sculpt the nose, lips, and eyes. Finally, I smooth out my fingerprints and then stick them all in the oven to cure. That's it.
What is your product range?
I just offer pot heads and boob planters right now, with plant babies.
What's your price range? How to order?
Prices start at P400. Sometimes people ask for bigger pots, they cost around twice as much. I take orders through my IG account.
Are you trained in pottery?
I joined a pottery workshop a few years back. I'd like to have formal training, though. Maybe when they start offering it in UP. Which is where I graduated with a degree in Visual Communication.
Is this a side gig? If so, what's your day job/main hustle?
It's actually just a hobby. I have small businesses in QC and Baler. I have a weekly comic strip in the Manila Bulletin, too.

As we approach the magical month in which everyone's a college hoops fan, individual performances are put under the microscope in what becomes the premiere opportunity for players to increase their stock as an NBA prospect. Let's check out who's made the biggest moves in the past week on the 2011 draft board.
Climbing The Board
Jordan Hamilton, Texas, SF
Hamilton's stock couldn't be higher – He's taking better shots and making smarter decisions, and as a result he leads the Longhorns in scoring while shooting an impressive 47% from the floor. At 6'7 he possesses ideal size for a three at the next level, and with deep range and the ability to rebound, Hamilton will be able to help out lottery teams in need of an extra punch. The fact that his team could be ranked number one by next week only boosts his value.
Markieff Morris, Kansas, PF
Despite having a quiet game in a loss to Kansas State, Markieff Morris averaged 15.5 points on 74% shooting in his previous five. He's displayed a nice touch around the basket while showing the ability to step out and knock down 20 footers. Shooting 8 for his last 13 from three, Morris has increased his stock by adding a new dimension to his game. He's consistently produced over the course of the year, shooting 59% from the floor and 40% from downtown. "Efficient" is a good word to describe Markieff's game.
Norris Cole, Cleveland State, PG
Cleveland State's Norris Cole has exploded onto the scene, especially of late where he's averaging 25 points and 7 assists over his last five. His 41 point, 20 rebound, 9 assist stat line he dropped on Youngstown State surely grabbed the attention of scouts, who previously questioned Cole's true position. With performances like the one he had on Saturday, the emphasis on his questionable role at the next level shouldn't prevent teams from drafting the prolific guard from Cleveland State.
JaJuan Johnson, Purdue, PF
Despite being named a Preseason All-American, Johnson never saw his stock reach "guaranteed first round" status. Over his last nine games however he's made a strong case for himself, scoring over 23 points per game on 51% shooting. Johnson has diversified his game by adding a 20 foot jump shot to compliment his post game and high activity level in the paint. He also brings a shot blocking presence that should be appealing to teams lacking depth in the front court.
Sliding Down
Renardo Sydney, Mississippi State, PF
Mississippi State's Renardo Sydney earned the biggest slide of the week, dropping 14 spots in this week's updated mock draft. What Sydney really needs to do is drop 14 pounds, as he finds himself getting outworked under the boards and beat down the floor.
Demetri McCamey, Illinois, PG
Illinois's Demetri McCamey is in the midst of a rough stretch at a bad time, turning the ball over 21 times and failing to eclipse the 5 assist mark in any of his last six games. After a hot start from downtown, he's just 8 of his last 26 from behind the arch.
Tyler Honeycutt, UCLA, F
A lengthy, active forward that can guard multiple positions on the floor, UCLA's Tyler Honeycutt is having some consistency issues on the offensive side of the ball. He's shooting just 34% in the months of January and February, including a disappointing 25% from downtown.
Tristan Thompson, Texas, PF/C
The talented freshman from Texas saw his stock fall a bit after some quiet games over his last five. At times he becomes a non-factor on the boards, and can disappear throughout stretches of a game with his limited offensive skillset. Shooting 48% from the line won't help persuade scouts that he has a promising mid range game in the works either.
Clip of the Week: Harrison Barnes throwing down on Clemson
Top Five Freshman Guard Prospects
1. Kyrie Irving, Duke, PG
He's played in just eight games so far, which was enough to declare him the top freshman guard, if not the top prospect in the nation. Irving plays with the perfect balance of scoring and playmaking, leaving defenders behind with a quick first step that makes him unguardable in the open floor. Most freshman point guards struggle shooting the ball, but Irving excels from the outside hitting 45% of his three point attempts. An intelligent and coachable kid, Irving will be the long-term solution for an NBA team looking for a new quarterback.
2. Brandon Knight, Kentucky, PG
At 6'4, Knight has great size for a point guard, he just has to prove he can be one at the next level. He's got quickness and a tight handle, but seems to be more comfortable scoring then distributing. Knight has shown consistency shooting the ball, scoring in double figures in all but one game and doing so at a 46% clip from the floor. Regardless of whether he can run the point at the NBA level, his effectiveness as a scoring combo guard should be attractive to teams selecting in a forward-heavy draft.
3. Cory Joseph, Texas, PG/SG
Joseph is getting good experience as the point guard on one of the best teams in the country. Though he hasn't been the most dynamic playmaker, he rarely turns the ball over and shoots a high percentage from the floor. After hitting the game winner on a turn around jumper with 1.4 seconds to go against UNC, Joseph showed he's not afraid to handle the ball with the game on the line. His pedestrian numbers shouldn't reflect on his value as an NBA prospect. With Jordan Hamilton and Tristan Thompson projected to leave for the pros, Joseph will have the opportunity to dominate the ball and increase his role at Texas over his sophomore year.
4. Josh Selby, Kansas, PG/SG
Though he's had a tough freshman year, Selby was asked to step in and contribute midseason after an early season suspension. Selby has struggled in his role at Kansas, but as a prospect his strength, quickness and size translate better to the pro game. His ability to create his own shot will be his biggest attribute moving forward. Comparisons to Willie Warren have begun among scouts, which isn;t a good sign. Staying another year could help him improve his efficiency and work on developing as a facilitator.
5. Ray McCallum, Detroit Mercy, PG
After passing on more prestigious schools like UCLA and Florida, McCallum decided to play for his father at Detroit Mercy where he hasn't gotten the national exposure for a player with his potential. He's a true point guard who sports a quick first step and the ability to hit the open man. Listed at 6'1, which would probably be accurate if was wearing high heels, McCallum averages 14 points and 5 assists per game, displaying a nice touch in the lane and illustrating advanced ball handling skills that are required for NBA point guards.
– Norris Cole joined Blake Griffin as the only college players in the last 15 years to record a 40 point 20 rebound game. Cole however hit the 40/20 mark standing just 6'2. How that's possible I just don't know.
– Nolan Smith lead Duke with 34 points in a comeback win over rival North Carolina. Smith will join Jimmer Fredette, Jared Sullinger and Kemba Walker in the ring to battle for the Player of the Year belt at the end of the year.
– Freshman Doran Lamb scored 20 in his first start of the season to help the Wildcats take care of Mississippi State at Rupp Arena. Lamb's 49% 3p percentage is good for 10th in the nation.
– Since scoring 26 in St. John's upset win over Duke on January 30th, Hardy has been averaging over 25 points per game over his last six.
– Hofstra's Charles Jenkins knocked down a 35 footer as time expired to give the Pride an 81-78 win over Williams & Mary. Jenkins is averaging 23 a game on 42% from downtown.
– Jacob Pullen scored 38 to help Kansas State knock off Kansas just a few weeks after losing to the Jayhawks by 24.
– Jordan Taylor scored 27 for Wisconsin to help the Badgers hand Ohio State their first loss of the season.

Taste The Flavours of A Christmas in Crete: Desserts
8th December 2014
Last time, we looked at a traditional Cretan Christmas bread, which sounds absolutely delicious, but what about the important matter of Christmas Day dessert? We've compiled a list of some of our favourite traditional Cretan desserts that would be great to try at home, or on a Christmas holiday in Crete.
These delicious little treats consist of eggless dough that is stretched out to make them as thin as possible. They are then made into a spiral shape and dropped into hot oil until golden brown, before being submerged in a honey and cinnamon syrup and topped with crushed walnuts and sesame seeds.
A traditional Christmas cookie, these are flavoured with orange and brandy, dunked in sweet honey syrup, and then topped with chopped walnuts. In short, these cookies really taste like Christmas.
These are sweet cheese pastries and are made up of rolled dough that can be baked or fried. Although they are a Christmas tradition, they are also eaten at other times of the year as they're just so delicious!
Koulourakia Christouyennon
These yeast sesame cookie rings are wreath-shaped and are made with cinnamon, cloves and orange – some great Christmas flavours. These cookies are also great for everyone at Christmas time as they don't contain dairy or eggs.
These cookies aren't just for Christmas; they are eaten at celebrations too, including weddings and baptisms. These are similar to shortbread, but are packed full of almonds and cinnamon, before being coated in confectioners' sugar.
Here at Pure Crete, we appreciate festive traditions, particularly those that involve cookies! So why not book yourself a Christmas holiday to Crete and enjoy some of the traditions for yourself? We have a great selection of villas in Crete for you to enjoy the festive period in. If you would like more information about the services we provide, get in contact with us today by calling 01444 880 404 and a member of our friendly team will be happy to help.
