MOREHEAD CITY – Jacksonville volleyball coach Melinda Rakes called this "absolutely a good win" for the Cardinals.
And why wouldn't it be?
After all, Jacksonville not only picked up its second Coastal 3-A Conference victory in as many matches with a 3-2 win over previously undefeated West Carteret on Tuesday night, but the Cardinals did so by rallying after dropping the first two sets.
Jacksonville ended up winning 21-25, 21-25, 25-19, 25-20, 15-12.
"They just stuck in there," Rakes said.
Keenan Marks had 22 assists, 12 digs and seven kills while Rachelle Byes had 18 digs and nine kills for the Cardinals. Brittany Ochs added 11 digs, six aces and five kills, and Cassie Padilla notched five kills and four blocks for JHS.
"We really focused on our serve-receive," Rakes said. "We wanted our side-out to be above 50 percent. We knew that would get us over the hump. They (Patriots) had a low ceiling and so we had to make adjustments as far as our passing goes."

PC Health Advisor
PC Health Advisor combines together all the tools you need at your fingertips. These tools enable you to tweak or modify your system in any way you like. For example, Startup Manager lets you save resources and speed up your Windows start times by removing unnecessary programs from the start up. You can also fine-tune other Windows settings to get extra speed out of your system so it would run like new again.
I took some time today to install PC Health Advisor on my system and give it a try. I had Windows XP Professional on my home laptop installed almost a year ago and even though I am computer savvy my system started to run a bit slower than it used to be. I have just a few programs that run during startup and the rest are disabled. I regularly clean temporary internet files and run disk defragmentation but still slowness is noticeable.
Installation was very easy, Download PC Health Advisor to your desktop and run Setup. Right away you'll get prompted with Main Menu where you can scan entire system or just select individual utilities such as Optimize Windows, Process Manager, Startup Manager, Browser Object Manager, Duplicate Finder, and Restore Point.
I was inpatient and run Full System Scan right away and to my surprise my main problem was in the registry. My system was clean of Malware such as viruses, Trojan horses and spywares and my Startup items were almost clean. In the past I've used some freeware application to clean up my registry but to be honest I didn't notice any difference with them.
ParetoLogic programmers done amazing job at combining all necessary tools into one application so it feels like Swiss Army Knife where all the tools you need at your fingertip. It is simple and sophisticated enough to get the job done. You can further optimize and tweak your Windows base PC system by clicking on Optimize button. In this tab you can open and manager each Process that is running in the background. Enable or disable programs from running in the start up.
What I also like about this is that it creates backup points for restoring all changes to original settings. Schedule manager gives you ability to regularly scan your Windows system so it would run at top performance speed.
PC Health Advisor
PC Health Advisor tackles all of your Windows PC's performance issues. It can scans your system to optimize memory use, clean the Windows Registry and find and get rid of temporary, duplicate and unneeded files. PC Health Advisor also cleans the cache and browser History to protect your privacy and boost your Internet browsing speed.
Key Product Features:
- Kills active malware processes
- Available in 10 languages
- Optimizes PC memory
- Finds duplicate files
- Finds programs to open unknown extensions
- Allows faster start-ups by managing processes

I'm feeling the need to stock up on more rice ( I think because of CGA's post about TX rice farmers not getting irrigation water) . I'm planning on buying white rice. After leaving it in the freezer for 2 weeks, we usually store it in with oxygen absorbers in mylar bags which are put into buckets (mice are an issue here).
If, after freezing, I store the white rice in canning jars, are oxygen absorbers necessary?

yes. the absorbers make a vacuum to make the jar air-tight. If you just screw things down tight, there is still some air entry (like zip locks) over time. I had some dried foods get moldy on me stored in canning jars with no seal. Rice tends to absorb atmospheric humidity.

The Exchange Hybrid is a combination of Microsoft Exchange and Rackspace Email. Shared calendars and contacts work between platforms, and there's a single control panel for admins.
Users can view and share calendars, access contact data, and enjoy Outlook compatibility across platforms.
Compared to using Hosted Exchange alone, a 50-user company can save 40% by moving half their users from Exchange to Rackspace Email.
Our Control Panel interface lets you easily manage both platforms from a single secure, web-based portal.
Hybrid email gives businesses the functionality users need without overpaying for features they don't need. See real-world examples of how business use the Hybrid to save money and get the right fit for everyone.
With Google Apps, this firm struggled to learn how to use Gmail for simple tasks, like folder management and alias creation. The Managers couldn't use tasks or notes in Gmail, interfering with workflow.
The Owner was concerned about the security of their data with Google but didn't think there was a more affordable solution. Until, he found the MS Exchange Hosting Hybrid at Rackspace.
Now, mailboxes are assigned based on user needs. Some employees require push service and need Exchange using Rackspace's Hosted Exchange Servers. The majority of the Staff uses Rackspace Email with an intuitive web interface and all the tools they need to fulfill their duties.
The Principal's calendar is managed by an assistant who needs the ability to instantly update that calendar to a mobile phone or laptop using push technology.
Teachers need email to communicate around the school. They use webmail shared calendars to coordinate schedules and rely on shared contacts for up-to-date email addresses and phone numbers.
Building Maintenance receives service requests via an email ticketing system. They use task lists to keep track of projects. The on-call technician accesses mobile email at no additional charge.
This school reduced costs by combining MS Exchange Hosting and Rackspace Email.

In an earlier post, I talked about how solution providers attending Cisco Partner Summit were totally jazzed about Cisco's "Jabber for Everyone" decision, seeing as it will drive overall Cisco UC adoption, broaden the Jabber footprint and strengthen Cisco as it goes to battle with Microsoft's fast-upcoming Lync platform.
But the other thing that got partners buzzing at Partner Summit was a blink-and-you-missed-it sort of announcement, and it's something Cisco channel chief Edison Peres said from the stage toward the end of his piece of the Tuesday keynote.
Peres alluded to the very frequent pace of M&A among channel partners in the past two years — something I've written about quite a bit because of those moves' significant bearing on the major enterprise networking vendors and their channel ecosystems. He said that Cisco is going to evolve the way it designs value-based partner programs to incorporate criteria investors use when evaluating solution providers they're examining.
Peres told CRN that Cisco wants a connection between how its channel programs make money for partners and those factors that determine a solution provider business' valuation — essentially, a shift beyond mere partner profitability to strong valuation creation. He check-boxed operating profit, growth potential, sustainability and business risk as the four things hawk-eyed money managers look for.
Compugen President and CEO Harry Zarek, as knowledgeable and perceptive a Cisco partner as I can think of, described this as a "fundamental shift in perspective" by Cisco.
"One prediction that Cisco will find out that they inadvertently do things that actually take away from partner business value rather than enhance it," Zarek wrote in a post to the Compugen blog. "That would be a defining moment in the maturing of the relationship between Cisco and its partners."
Peres' announcement essentially formalizes an approach Cisco's been favoring for a while now. Yes, yes, all partner programs promise at least some form of growth where channel partners are supposed to make money and prosper. But take a look at the Cisco Services Partner program, which collapses 47 global services programs into one and jacks up the potential profitability for partners the deeper they go with Cisco smart services — that's a legitimate "do x, get y" discussion of bigger sales and bigger profits through services, and no hard deck strategy that limits the scope of that opportunity.
For Cisco, it's a good time to be doing stuff like this — it's just restructured, it's getting the good press it needs to put the wind back in its sails, and it's facing competitive assaults from a constellation of vendors both longstanding and emerging. If it can increase its influence over the current wave of channel M&A, its partner relationships become even more profound. (And hey, while in San Diego, I heard of at least four deals involving well-known Cisco partners in various stages of discussion — there's going to be a lot for us Cisco channel scribblers to write about over the next six months.)
Consider that almost all of the major solution provider acquisitions from the past two years — everything from Presidio's buys of BlueWater Communications and INX to a run of pickups by national partners ePlus, TIG, Transcend United, Softchoice, GreenPages, NWN and others – involve major Cisco or Avaya players. Makes sense; these are big vendors with big and churning channels, and deals happen for many reasons. But don't Cisco-flavored deals and Avaya-flavored deals just seem fundamentally different?
Most big Avaya-centric mergers seem to involve forced exits and cheap valuations — burned-out Nortel partners, it's often said, who don't want to jump through Avaya hoops to get the favored status they need to compete. Add to that the fact that Avaya's continued to squeeze solution provider margins on everything from maintenance services to UC wares — and is distracted with a forthcoming IPO and an exodus of major executives — and it seems like you have an Avaya channel consolidating with less of a long-term opportunity motivation and more of a short-term survival motivation.
Most big Cisco-centric channel mergers have a different tone. I talked this week with Jay Kirby, executive vice president of Troubadour, which has a good-sized Cisco footprint and fine-tuned networking and security practices. Troubadour just merged with Lumenate, a major Dallas solution provider with a sizable storage and data center business. Thanks to the Troubadour deal, Lumenate, which acquired two other VAR businesses in the past six years, stands to hit $100 million in revenue by next year, it says. Not a channel Big Mac, but not exactly a small fry.
Kirby, whose excitement is infectious, put it pretty simply: "There was just no reason not to do it." Troubadour and Lumenate complement each other, they're both strong in their respective Houston and Dallas markets, the combined portfolios get them to converged infrastructure faster, and they have cultures that appear to be simpatico. Game, set, match.
That conversation reminded me, not surprisingly, of the one I had with Bob Cagnazzi, Presidio's new CEO, the day before Presidio's acquisition of BlueWater was confirmed. Didn't seem like something BlueWater had to do — it was growing admirably, and it's tough to imagine Cagnazzi or his lieutenants ever having trouble getting a phone call returned from Cisco's top brass. But as Cagnazzi said at the time, he felt BlueWater could be better positioned, and more quickly positioned, in managed and cloud-based services if it hitched its wagon to Presidio's.
Presidio's M&A moves have made it a channel tyrannosaurus. They accelerated its bid to control major markets where the IT customer spend is and get to them faster, or at least as fast, as anyone else. Presidio punches in a weight class of national and hugely influential networking and data center powerhouses few solution providers ever break into, has a galaxy of in-house value-added services expertise, and does all of it with bona fide footprints — not locally-based engineers they call on to partner with, fully-staffed regional footprints that seem to be as nimble in Massachusetts as they are in Houston or San Francisco or New York or Washington DC — in all of the geographies it seeks to dominate.
Cisco clearly likes what it sees in all of these moves: bigger partners with a foot-high pile of top Cisco statuses, certifications and specializations, that understand Cisco's strategy, know its executive team, and can evangelize it as well as anyone on Cisco's sales force, and who can stress-test major Cisco initiatives around cloud, services and data center.
Peres' announcement ensured it will continue to gain from and influence the M&A rodeo in one way or another, regardless of which individual Cisco partners do.

Being an advocate involves speaking for and supporting a cause, idea, or policy. In the cancer community, being a cancer advocate means that you support a cause, idea, or policy regarding cancer, which may include working to change laws and policies that affect people living with cancer. On a more personal level, for someone with cancer, being a self-advocate involves taking an active role in your cancer care.
Self-advocacy can be a positive experience and often gives a person a sense of control in a time of uncertainty. Advocacy doesn't have to be time-consuming or difficultâit can be as simple as asking more questions at a doctor's appointment. Furthermore, being a self-advocate doesn't mean that you are responsible for your cancer care alone. Many people involve friends and family members to help find and sort all of the information necessary to make decisions regarding care and treatment.
For more information, view the Advocacy and Policy section and read the Cancer.Net Feature: Cancer Self-Advocacy.

So I've just downloaded and installed the 12.8 drivers a few hours ago and this started happening. (I've also installed the latest shock wave player, done full restart of PC). Please notice the black squares... Now these black and white squares jump all over the screen randomly as well as that random orange color... I was watching a documentary on youtube @ the time. It's happened a few times while on youtube already and when I'm playing games, firefox causes my frames to drop massively until I kill it. Firefox reinstall? Or is it another issue? EDIT: Sorry for shitty image quality, its late and I'm getting tired
Ok so it just happened again (without the random squares), my entire screen went black as I scrolled down the webpage, on all tabs I had open, as soon as I scrolled, it went pure black
1. Firefox flash support has been hit or miss latley. Combine that with new drivers and boom. 2. Does this happen in other browsers? 3. If this started right after the driver install I would assume its the drivers.
Yeah straight after install, it started happening. First time anything like this has happened however. EDIT: Testing IE9 out now. Seeing if the same thing happens
Make sure your Flash is up to date not Shockwave. Like MM said they have been quite spotty lately but they have been putting out updates a little more frequently. If your Flash is up to date and still causing issues go into Tools/Options/Advanced and disable "Use Hardware Acceleration when Available. That should sort out the Firefox issues. I installed the 12.8's yesterday I believe and made sure my Flash was totally up to date and chanced turning my Hardware Acceleration back on(Had it disabled for the last few drivers because of the issues) So far it's been fine(For now anyway)
source: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406089,00.asp I was having problems as well. My PC would just shut off without warning. I uninstalled Flash player 11.3 and went back to 11.2 and it's been better so far. It's not your drivers.
Well firefox just crashed completely with Mozilla Crash reporter popping up. What should I roll back... GFX driver or Flash? Oh and there goes the display driver... Just crashed, fuck it, Im rolling back to 12.6
Update. Upon rolling back the system got stuck trying to restart my cards, with that annoying sound when you plug and unplug devices playing constantly with a black screen, showing my desktop briefly before disconnecting again. Well done ATI, I'm going to Nvidia next round. Uninstalling, restarting system then installing 12.6. The rollback function is fudged for this driver
Yup drivers. ATI drivers blow. Sorry man. I was hoping it was a simple Flash issue. Yeah look up Erockers guide. It will get you fixed up. If not Ill help ya the best I can. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52502 FYI I left ATI after almost 15 years because of the drivers since Nov. I'm not just a "NVIDIA" fan boy.
Oh fucking wonderful, It reinstalled 12.8 after my driver cleaning reset, even after I apparently deleted all stored driver data on prompt when uninstalling... SO FUCKING RETARDED. Checking driver version now
(From website) The AMD Catalyst software suite 12.8 contains the following: AMD display driver version 8.982 (from my PC) Driver Packaging Version 8.982 I'm at a loss for words @ how retarded the operating system is... I uninstall a driver, and it reinstalls it on boot up. HELLO I UNINSTALLED IT FOR A REASON EDIT: Someone post in this thread when a fix comes out, just in case I miss it (and considering my luck, there's a high chance of it happening)
Turn off "Install Recommended Updates" until you get this fixed. Just rememeber to TURN IT BACK ON when you are done. This will keep the OS from installing anything until you tell it too.

She's A Believer
Chef Cathy Whims puts her faith in fresh, local ingredients and exquisitely simple cuisine.
Lunchtime is winding down at Nostrana; only a few tables are still seated. The kitchen staff gathers at the long table closest to the restaurant's open kitchen and gleaming white wood-burning oven. A waiter serves plates for the staff meal with the same deftness he uses for his customers a few feet away. Cathy Whims, chef and owner of the 3-year-old restaurant on SE 14th and Morrison, joins the group for a quick bite. She is smiling, her movements relaxed and confident as she moves around the restaurant.
Cathy grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, earning her Bachelor's degree in Latin from the university there before moving to the West Coast in 1979. Unsure of what to do with her education, she bought a few cookbooks by esteemed chefs Julia Child, Marcella Hazan, and M.F.K. Fisher. In the year before moving to Portland from San Francisco, Whims decided to give herself a thorough education in French cooking beyond what she'd picked up in her mother's kitchen. She chose Fisher's volume on provincial French cuisine and cooked through the whole thing. Once in Portland, Cathy fixed her ambitions on Genoa. "I'd always had an affection for anything Italian — like Latin — and Genoa was my dream job," she says of her desire to cook for what was then considered the city's preeminent Italian restaurant, "but I never thought I'd get to work there because I hadn't gone to culinary school." Whims knew someone who knew someone, however, and her career at Genoa, which culminated in co-ownership, lasted more than two decades.
At Nostrana, The Oregonian's 2006 Restaurant of the Year, Whims cooks the "ingredient-driven" dishes that your Italian mama would make, should you be lucky enough to have an Italian mama. Her attitude toward cooking is as straightforward as Nostrana's menu. "Less is more," she explains. "The quality of the ingredients is super important. Because of the [cuisine's] simplicity, nothing can be hidden."
The food at Nostrana, just like the restaurant itself, may be simple; but it's by no means plain. Cathy makes vanilla gelato with just three ingredients –– whole milk yogurt, powdered sugar, and half of a vanilla bean –– and it's as delicious and creamy as any I've had. The pistachio gelato, served alongside a crunchy almond meringue cookie, tastes more like toasted pistachio nuts than an actual toasted pistachio nut. On the night of my meal there, the din of a full house is softened by Nostrana's cork floor as half a dozen servers make loops around the dining room to pour wine, take orders, and carry beautiful plates of food. In the open kitchen, as many cooks seem relaxed in their steady work, smiling and chatting while Cathy visits with her guests in the dining room.
For Whims, creating a great meal begins with the farmers who grow, say, the arugula that's going into your Insalata Invernale. If you were doing your shopping at a market in Italy, a tag next to the arugula would read "nostrana," meaning ours; from right here. In Italian markets, these locally grown items are especially prized. They're valued for their freshness, having traveled a short distance from field to market; and their purchase supports the local food web.
To find the best meat and produce for her restaurant, Cathy has built strong, reciprocal relationships with local producers, many of whom grow crops –– like hard-to-find bitter Italian greens –– specifically for Nostrana. The chef is committed to supporting her farmers, even when what they have to sell isn't exactly what she is looking for. Sometimes a grower has abundance of, for example, green cabbage. Instead of getting her produce elsewhere until a different crop is harvested, Cathy says she'll make use of the cabbage. "I can't possibly let it go to waste," she explains, "because I know the farmer. I know how hard he works; I know the soil that he grew it in –– I believe in this cabbage."
Getting Portlanders revved up about eating seasonally and locally isn't very difficult. Cathy credits the city's fantastic local markets. There's an understanding among her customers, she says, that the food on her menu reflects the very best, freshest, and most flavorful ingredients available from local growers on any given week.
A few times a year, Cathy leaves Nostrana's kitchen to teach cooking classes at In Good Taste in Portland and Cook's Pots and Tabletops in Eugene. As an instructor, she not only provides entertainment and a really great meal for her students, but also imparts skills and recipes that they can really make use of in their home kitchens. "I get excited if I know that people are actually going to go home and make that recipe," she says. She talks about students coming back to relay stories of successful meals after taking one of her classes. "There's so much that you learn from cooking for yourself and your family and friends," Cathy says of why she believes it's important to teach; "people's lives are enriched."
Whims' interest in education extends beyond teaching the occasional cooking class. In late October, Cathy and five other Portland chefs attended the third meeting of the Terra Madre Network, held in Torino, Italy, and hosted by Slow Food International. The event brought together cooks, academics, growers, and youth delegates for a four-day conference on small-scale, traditional, and sustainable food production. With over 1,600 energetic delegates under the age of thirty at Terra Madre '08, Cathy says the atmosphere was particularly vibrant.
With her recent trip in mind, Cathy is already planning her next teaching project — inviting school children to the restaurant once a month for a meal and a conversation about the restaurant's practices and values. "If we don't teach the next generation about the best environmental practices and fair treatment of the people who grow our food," Whims says, looking out into the large dining room, no doubt imagining it full of kids "how can we expect the movement to go forward?"

Good job Sigma! I'm getting one but out of stock already.
Previous news story Next news story |
Just posted: Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM lens review
Earlier this year Sigma outlined a new vision for its product line-up, with lenses to be split into three categories: Contemporary, Sports and Art. The 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is the first release in the latter, and is designed to offer a relatively affordable alternative to the camera manufacturers' equivalents. It works on both full frame and APS-C cameras, and will be available in mounts for all major brands. In our latest review in partnership with DxOMark, we take a detailed look at how it performs, including test data from all of its closest competitors to see how it measures up. Click through to find out what we thought.

Click here for the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM on DxOMark
I guess the Phoblographer was right!!! He swapped all his Canon optics for Sigma.
What, the 35L doesn't have Onions?
Yea, unfortunate side-effect of heavy use of aspherical element. Its sorta price for high performance. There are lens like 35 L or Zeiss/Leica which have asph element, but dont do this much, but they are mostly not that amazing from MTF point of view and then is Sigma, which is amazing from MTF point of view, but for some price..
Tho Leica is great in both, but then there is that price. :D
Nishi Drew
All asph lens do that when its provoked by certain use. Leica included, just in case of them its mostly not visible.. thats that difference.
Oh yes, I'm aware of that side effect, I'm just replying to a post that basically says "the 35L doesn't do that".
Though indeed, just something that's unfortunate, but doesn't really bother me anyways, and thus my soon-to-be-mine Sigma
The 35L has problematic bokeh as well but not as bad as the Sigma.
What, the Nikon 35G doesn't have Onions?
I've never noticed onion bokeh on my copy. Perhaps I want looking hard enough. I searched and there does appear to be onion bokeh on the 35L.
The reason you never noticed it in the 35L is that in most cases it won't be visible unless you look at your image at 100%. Unless you have some lights which take up an unusually large portion of your image frame, you just won't see it in normal viewing. So yeah might be a serious issue for some but nothing to worry about as far as I am concerned. A 35mm 1.4 lens is an extreme design and always requires compromises. You will never find any 35mm 1.4 lens which will be perfect without any flaw. Based on the reviews so far, the Sigma is as close to perfect as have been seen for a 35mm 1.4 lens so far. So you can either choose to worry about a problem which may have no practical concern for you in your photography or enjoy a great lens.
Actually, double lines (due to onion bokeh) are very well visible without going to 100%. The 35L does this as well, but the Sigma is worse. There were direct comparisons in the Canon forum.
You mention that the Canon & Nikon counterparts are weather sealed. The Canon 35mm f1.4 is not weather sealed.
The Canon 35/1.4 L is weather sealed. All L series lenses are
"The Canon 35/1.4 L is weather sealed. All L series lenses are"
LOL you must be kidding me
All L series lenses designed in the last 10yrs or so are weather-sealed (except the TS-E ones), but the 35L came out before Canon was applying weathersealing to their lenses. It is not officially weather-sealed and lacks a rubber gasket at the lens mount.
That being said, I have the equally non-sealed 24L mk1 and it has been accidentally soaked several times without issues: I think there is a certain amnt of sealing despite not having the gasket on the mount.
If Sigma made an Art series 50mm f/1.2 or even f/1.4... it would become my first Sigma lens! And that's meant as a compliment as I'm a die hard Nikkor fan :)
I just bought the current 50/1.4 and it's a great lens, but I'd buy an Art series version simply for the USB functionality.
A plastic filter thread and no weather sealing....That's a pity for almost a perfect lens.
Absolutely right. But aiming this lens at professionals, at least a metal filter thread should heve been added in my opinion.
Remove the glass from a cheap clear filter and use the metal housing as a insert and waallaa a metal fliter thread.
Hi Apewithcamera, true and wrapping a plastic bag around your lens and it's weather sealed
"waalaa" LOL! :)
I think you mean, "viola"? Or is that a big violin. I am never sure of these things.
Voilá as meant above.
Viola as in the big violin.
See, letters can be trikcy...eh, tricky :-)
the 135L has a plastic filter thread and is not sealed, and that lens gets all sorts of love, and used by many professionals. And as for wrapping a plastic bag around, even for sealed lenses if your out in the rain it's suggested you get your gear wrapped up regardless.
Sounds like a winner! Sigma really seems to be on a roll with their fast primes. Hopefully they roll out similarly fast lenses in MFT format...
Aside from vignetting wide open on FF, this is nearly flawless. Good job Sigma!

Pearl Jam Tickets
Along with the likes of Nirvana and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam are responsible for establishing Seattle as the Grunge capital of the world. Considered by many as one of the most important bands of the 90s, Pearl Jam have managed to stay ahead of the game over the years, leaving many of their contemporaries in the 90s eating their proverbial dust. With vocalist Eddie Vedder at the helm, Pearl Jam have a powerful sound that helps then stand out from many other grunge bands, who rely more on raspy, gritty tones than quality singing.
Over the years Pearl Jam haven't lost their touch, and to this day still put on a fantastic live show. Experience this for yourself by getting your hands on Pearl Jam tickets. All Pearl Jam tickets are covered by Seatwave's Ticket Integrity policy. Below you'll find all Pearl Jam tickets currently available.

GSTL Season 2 - FnaticRC close loss to SlayerS-EG
Posted 2012-07-13 ANdre_
GSTL Season 2 - FnaticRC close loss to SlayerS-EG
FnaticRC | Map | SlayerS-EG | ||
ByuL | 0 | Cloud Kingdom | 1 | JYP |
Rain | 0 | ESV Ohana | 1 | JYP |
Moon | 0 | Entombed Valley | 1 | JYP |
Oz | 1 | Daybreak | 0 | JYP |
Oz | 1 | Muspelheim | 0 | YugiOh |
Oz | 0 | Atlantis Spaceship | 1 | CoCa |
aLive | 1 | Antiga Shipyard | 0 | CoCa |
aLive | 1 | Whirlwind | 0 | Miya |
aLive | 0 | Metropolis | 1 | Ryung |
FnaticRaidCall 4:5 SlayerS-EG |
14:40: FnaticRaidCall have lost in a close match to SlayerS-EG with 4:5 score. aLive wasn't able to deliver the 3rd victory, and overall fifth for FnaticRaidCall in ace match against Ryung. SlayerS-EG will therefore advance to semi-finals and play against TSL. We wan't to congratulate our team for their briliant performance in Season 2 of GSTL, and wish them best of luck in future competitions.
14:15: It all comes to ace game! Score is 4:4 and this match couldn't have a more dynamic and better ending! aLive took down another Zerg, with briliant Marine and Tank play. Few successful drops allowed him to gain enough time to build up the composition he needed, and ultimately win the game! Should aLive win another game, our team will be through to the semi-finals of GSTL Season 2. aLive's last opponent will be Ryung, and the last map is Metropolis! Go aLive!!!
13:50: aLive scored in favor of FnaticRaidCall and made score 3:4. He will need two more wins in order to lead our team to victory. The game was pretty one-sided, as aLive was able to shut down every single move that CoCa decided to take. aLive's next opponent will be another Zerg player Miya, and the map is Whirlwind.
13:30: SlayerS-EG are one win away from the semi-finals, as CoCa defeated Oz with his well-known Infestor play. The Infestor count was up to 22 at one point in the game, and Oz couldn't find an answer to it. The last player for FnaticRC will be aLive and the next map will be Antiga Shipyard. In order for FnaticRC to stay in the competition, aLive will have to win this match.
13:05: Oz has scored once again and made the overall map score 2:3. Game was pretty intense and interesting as it went to a base trade scenario, where Oz was able to edge out close victory due to better army composition. The next SlayerS-EG player will be another Zerg, this time it's CoCa and the next map will be announced soon.
12:35: Oz denied JYP's proxy play and made the score 1:3. JYP went for a gamble with two Gateways made in front of Oz's base, but with a great scout, Oz found out exactly what was going on. The next map will be Muspelheim and Oz's next opponent will be Zerg player YugiOh.
12:20: After a fast game, FnaticRC is three games behind, as Moon's all-in wasn't hard for JYP to handle. Baneling bust wasn't enough to go through JYP's wall. The next map will be Daybreak, and our fourth player today will be Oz. Protoss vs Protoss incoming.
12:06: The score is 0:2 now as Rain wasn't able to score for FnaticRC, even though he played his early game perfectly. He even brought JYP's natural down, but wasn't able to benefit from the advantage. The next player for FnaticRC will be Moon. Map will be Entombed Valley.
11:50: Rain vs JYP on ESV_Ohana is now LIVE!
11:30: ByuL lost the opening match to JYP, and the score is therefore 0:1. Next up on the field will be Rain and the map will be announced soon.
At 11:10 CET on the 13th of July, FnaticRaidCall StarCraft II will face their biggest challenge yet in their competitive StarCraft 2 history in team leagues. They will step into the battlefield and fight for pride and honor versus one of the toughest opponents there is. SlayerS-EG are awaiting.
It's not only GSTL where our guys have achieved great victories over teams such as Prime and IM-SK, they have done extremely well in EGMCS as well. Second spot in the competition where teams such as mousesports, coL and SlayerS-EG themeselves were competing, was certainly not an easy task. Even so, our guys delivered amazing victories, and even though some of the matches were extremely close, it surely was a great show for every StarCraft 2 fan. One of those victories was against SlayerS-EG as well.
As for GSTL Season 2, our guys are currently placed 3rd in Group A in the second round. In order to progress to the semi-finals, where TSL are waiting, they have to beat SlayerS-EG, who have lost against team MVP just like FnaticRC did. Team Prime is currently placed fourth and have no chance of advancing, so the current champion of Season 1 of GSTL is out. Surprisingly enough StarTale-Quantic are out of the competition as well. With two loses against New Star HoSeo and FXOpen, they took the fourth spot in Group B.
Round 2 : Groups
2. | SlayerS-EG | 2-1 |
3. | FnaticRC | 1-2 |
4. | Prime | 0-2 |
Top 2 to semi-finals |
1. | Team SCV Life | 2-0 |
2. | HoSeo | 1-1 |
3. | FXOpen | 1-1 |
4. | StarTale | 0-2 |
Top 2 to semi-finals |
The match between FnaticRaidCall and SlayerS-EG has epic proportions. Only one of these two giants will join MVP and TSL in the final four of GSTL Season 2. The match will start off with an interesting duel between ByuL and JYP on Cloud Kingdom. A maximum of 9 games will be played, as always, and our guys will need five wins in order to defeat SlayerS-EG. We will provide you with live updates, and you can expect to see them right here in this newspost. We want to wish our guys the best of luck. No matter what happens tomorrow, we are proud of what they achieved in their first GSTL competition.

Wind knocked down power poles one mile off Interstate 76 along state Highway 144 near Log Lane, according to Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Wes Templeton.
Highway 144 was closed for about two hours mid-afternoon Saturday and traffic was re-routed while Xcel Energy workers made repairs.
Log Lane Village residents were without power for 5 1/2 hours Saturday due to downed power poles, according to Log Lane Public Works Director Bert Kammerzell.
The power went off Saturday afternoon, but it came back by evening, Kammerzell said.
Xcel Energy was able to get the power back on relatively quickly, he said.
The outage didn't cause "any problems for the town, other than that the power was out for residents," Kammerzell said.
Brush also had power problems due to "a very, very hard wind," according to City Administrator Monty Torres.
Three or four trees were uprooted by the wind, with two of the trees landing on top of vehicles and causing damage, Torres said.
Tree branches falling on power lines also caused outages and flickering of electricity, he said.
"There was flickering throughout the community," he added.
He said that not all of the city completely lost power, and that reports were more prevalent from the south side of Brush. He said that other power outages seemed to represent "more isolated cases."
"Xcel Energy got there pretty quick and got it running," Torres said.
But he said that some of the causes of the problems were still being dealt with both Sunday and today.
Xcel Energy representatives did not reply to a request for comment by deadline this morning.

Being the recipient of this year's Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award is a delightful affirmation of her commitment to training future mental health counselors: that they learn how it is to embrace adversity in their lives and transform this into their potential in living healthy and fully, and to help others do the same. Her research includes counseling African Americans, Filipino Americans and sexual minorities and investigating specific countries' concerns such as poverty's psychological correlates and processes in the Philippines, and immigration to the United States. In her 6 years at UNF, she has advised 11 graduate student theses, served in 4 theses committees as second reader, published 7 articles with students as co-authors and made 17 conference presentations with students as collaborators. Very much like her colleagues at UNF, she believes that teaching is the most sacred and wonderful privilege in being an agent of growth in students' lives.

Fire destroys Kim's Way house in Oak Bluffs
VIdeo by Rob Gatchell
Updated 2:35 pm, Wednesday
Firefighters from Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, and Tisbury fought a house fire on Kim's Way in Oak Bluffs late Tuesday morning. The blaze destroyed the house at the end of a short dirt street off Wing Road.
Fire investigators later determined that the cause of the fire was an overloaded power strip located under the raised dwelling. An extension cord was connected to a recreational vehicle parked within two feet of the back corner of the house. The RV was occupied by Craig MacCormack, the owner of the house.
Mr. MacCormack was inside the vehicle when the fire began. He was not injured.
Greg and Heather Arpin were tenants in the house. They were not at home at the time, but their pet Labrador died in the fire.
Mr. Arpin is an employee of the Transportation Security Administration, assigned to the Martha's Vineyard Airport. Ms. Arpin is a counselor at the Connect to End Violence program, operated by Martha's Vineyard Community Services.
Reached by phone the day after the fire, Mr. Arpin said it was a tough, long day. He thanked the firefighters for their response and singled out two firefighters whose names he didn't know, who helped him and his wife go through the charred rubble looking for some important items.
"They got on their hands and knees with us, looking for my wedding band," Mr. Arpin said, overcome with emotion.
They gave up looking only when darkness made it impossible, without finding the ring. Mr. Arpin said he intends to search some more.
The couple left Martha's Vineyard to stay with family temporarily.
Mr. Arpin's coworkers at the Martha's Vineyard Airport are organizing a drive to raise money and collect donations of clothing, blankets, kitchen items, and bedding.
"Everybody is really pulling together for us," Mr. Arpin said.
Ms. Arpin's co-worker, Christina Costello, said people who would like to help may call her at 508-361-1987.
Fire and ammunition
Flames were shooting from the small, one-story house when the first Oak Bluffs firefighters arrived. That was not the only danger for first responders.
"On top of the big fire load," Oak Bluffs Assistant Chief John Rose said, "there was multiple caliber ammunition going off in the building."
At first, Mr. Rose told The Times that bullets came near the firefighters. He later said he was wrong.
Ammunition casings will explode in a fire but with no gun barrel to build pressure bullets have no velocity, according to firearms experts.
"We could see cartridges coming out of the building. It wasn't like we needed to take cover," Mr. Rose said.
Mr. Rose said Mr. Arpin had a large collection of guns and ammunition, all legally licensed.
Mr. Rose immediately ordered all firefighters away from the building, and they began a defensive attack, dousing the flames with high-capacity hoses from more than 50 feet away.
"We hit the structure from the outside of the building to cool it down, until we knocked everything down and the bullets stopped going off," he said.
The immediate focus was to keep the fire from spreading to two buildings just a few feet away. Oak Bluffs firefighters called for help from Tisbury and Edgartown.
"It was great community support," Mr. Rose said. "With school vacation, all departments are shorthanded, people are away with their kids."
Firefighters drew water from a hydrant on Wing Road, a short distance from the fire. Oak Bluffs firefighters used their aerial ladder truck to drop several firefighters onto the roof, where they cut a vent hole, as firefighters on the ground poured water through the windows of the building.
NSTAR cut an electric line leading to the burning building.
Though the structure was still standing when the fire was out, the interior of the house was completely gutted. According to assessor's records, the property is valued at $369,700. Mr. MacCormack could not be reached for comment.
Investigators from the state fire marshal's office worked with their counterparts on the Island to determine the cause of the fire.

Before anyone responds to this...you will have to have found Billy Parson's father's corpse in Persephone and have listened to Gloria Parson's audio diary on the Cult of Rapture site.
Now then....was anyone surprised to find Billy Parson's father's corpse in Persephone?? And did anyone think he should have been another Big Daddy,or would that be too Mark Melzter-ish?? Because Gloria Parson seemed like she thought he left her and their son and didn't know what happened to him...so I always thought we'd find him as a Big Daddy or something....what does anyone else think...??

kcarroll1004 - (November 28, 2005) My daughter LOVES this doll. It truly is amazing. We have had no problems with it at all. We paid $99 for the doll and it has been worth every penny.
Product: Amazing Amanda Doll
shill1bak - (August 01, 2006) I just love this doll. She is new to the market this year and she is soft and adorable! She has a great voice and is very interactive! My daughter loves her more than any other dolls she owns!
rmawhite - (November 18, 2005) It was $90 and purchased through a listd seller. I wanted to test before I wrapped for Christmas and it would not come on. It was defective, had to return and reorder a new one.I ordered a 2nd one and the toybox was bent. I just returned and did not even open fearing would be the same. I am awaiting a new one. My 6 year old wants this more than any other thing! So far, DISAPPOINTED!

Anonymous - (08/28/2013) I am so very happy with this book. I purchased one six years ago for my oldest daughter and am ordering a second one for my daughter who is due soon. This book stands out in the crowd of baby memory books for its simplicity and beauty. It does not look like a cartoon and is not filled with ridiculous prompts. Rather, the pages are muted in color and tone. There are prompts - yes - for typical "firsts" such as haircuts and losing teeth. But there are also open pages with spaces for events and pictures that we parents deem most important in our child's life.
Anonymous - (08/25/2013) I have been looking for a baby book since I found out I was pregnant 9 months ago. I found a couple I liked but they were on Etsy (I don't know the quality as it's on the internet, nor can I return it if it wasn't to my liking) for around $100. I was holding off...glad I did. This baby book from Nordstrom is PERFECT! It's detailed and the quality is what you would expect from Nordstrom. It is pretty thick/thorough too when it comes writing in your baby's info on the pages. The cover is adorable and classy. I loved it because it didn't scream "baby" when I saw it. I would recommend it, I even got the mini photo album that matches it even though I don't use photo albums any more. The book was so nice I had to get the photo album to match, that should tell you something!
Anonymous - (08/24/2013) I was surprised that my over 14 yr olds enjoyed the book. They especially liked the idea of spelling names/words with the "letter" accessories you can buy separately, that attach to the front of the journal. The cover is sturdy, can be used as cover with other same size journals. It was a good gift for boy/girl.

The Sound Of Wretch 32 & Knox Brown
It's time to lift the curtains on this stunner of a sound library: For the latest addition to our Artist Edition, Prime Loops is proud to present "The Sound Of Wretch 32 & Knox Brown"!
Wretch 32 had three top-five charting songs from his Gold-Certified album Black in 2011 alone. This year he became one of the main faces for both Adidas' and Coca Cola's London Olympics campaigns and also won 'Best International Act' at the BET Awards.
One of his steady collaborators in these last years is the experienced producer and all-round studio wizard Andrew Brown, better known as Knox, with whom not only Wretch 32 works frequently. Knox is one busy man these days, composing, writing and producing for artists like Bashy, Daley, Lady Leshurr, Wiley, Kano, or even Vince "The Voice" Kidd.
Together they have crafted a star-studded Prime Loops sample pack containing a whopping 10 Song Kits, boasting a wide range of mixes at 72-134bpm to tailor an abundance of flow patterns. All the 24-bit files within this royalty-free collection have been split into individually optimised tracks, all ready to instantly expand your versatility and creativity. Expect booming bass kicks and super-clean claps, combined with orchestral keys and dramatic melodies, tipifying that authentic London sound.
So grab this winning formula blend of innovative sounds and rhythms that take as much inspiration from what's bubbling in the UK's metropolitan underground as from what's ruling the pop charts. Contemporary R&B, UK Grime, even borrowing a lick or two from the dominant indie music scene and transforming it into something different altogether – "The Sound Of Wretch 32 & Knox Brown" will arm you with the needed tools to do as much damage in the headphones as it will in the charts and clubs.

Columbus County's new $1.5 million emergency radio system has met with mixed reviews, users told the Columbus County Board of Commissioners last week.
Commissioners called on the vendor to work with users in law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services to resolve issues of coverage and paging.
Emergency Services Director Kay Worley said the system bought from Sanford-based Fleet Connect provided better coverage than the systems used in the past. It also allowed every agency in the county to communicate, something missing from the old system.
Most complaints about coverage can be traced to metal or solid structures that are tough for radio signals to penetrate, Chadbourn police Chief Steven Shaw said.
The Harnett County Department of Public Health is offering a "Welcome Baby" program for parents of infants in the county. The program provides services for parents of infants up to 8 weeks old.
The program provides a home visit to parents after newborns are discharged from the hospital. A registered nurse will visit the family, check the progress of the infant, discuss any care issues and provide parents with available resources.
For information or to schedule a visit, call the Department of Public Health at 814-6254 or 893-7550.
Applications for free and reduced lunch for Hoke County school students can be completed any time during the year. Residents who previously completed an application but whose financial circumstances may have changed should complete an additional application. For more information, go to the school system website at hcs.k12.nc.us.
Moore County winners of the 2013 Governor's Volunteer Service Awards were honored at the county commissioners' meeting Tuesday.
Shirley Baldwin won in the individual category; Judy Lewis won in the senior category; Maggie Batsonwon in the youth category; Owen Gallagher won in the faith-based category; the Disaster Action Team won the group category; and Pam Giambelluca won in the director category.
Longtime Lumberton Mayor Raymond Pennington was honored during Monday's City Council meeting for his years of service to the city.
He received honorary membership into the Prince Hall Freemasons, a historically black organization. Pennington is one of only a few white members.
"There are a lot of awards that come along in a lifetime," Pennington said. "But ones like this are special."
Pennington is a member of St. Alban Masonic Lodge in Lumberton and has been mayor for more than two decades.
He said for years the two organizations remained segregated based on race. It wasn't until a few years ago that changed.
Councilman John Cantey, a member of the Prince Hall Golden Leaf Lodge No. 124 in Lumberton, said Pennington was recognized because of his leadership and equality.
The Sampson County Board of Commissioners is looking at options for a new policy for employee pay raises. County Manager Ed Causey recommended last week that commissioners approve a $31,000 study of pay, performance and benefits.
The board is working on a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Its members also will consider whether to give employees an across-the-board raise tied to the cost of living, how much to set aside for raises based on merit and another option, called the career path, that would tie raises to longevity benchmarks.
Kindergarten registration for Scotland County schools continues through April 30. Parents should bring the following items to the school in their district: proof of residence, such as a utility bill or lease; birth certificate or proof of age; immunization record; and parent identification.
To enroll in kindergarten for the 2013-14 school year, a child must be 5 years of age on or before Aug. 31. To determine where a child should be enrolled, call the closest elementary school.

I know, Evan Williams asked for donations from users while he was running Blogger.com in its early days but that was then. Is a donation button for a web app in beta tactless, in these times? what if theres already 2 ad units per page?
Tell me more
Answers OnStartups is a question and answer site for entrepreneurs looking to start or run a new business. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You can always ask, but if you plan on charging for usage, it might be a bad idea. Speaking from my personal perspective, if I used an app that asked for a donation, I might give something, but if a month later they started charging me, then I would resent the fact that I had been hit up for a donation earlier. If, however, the intent is to NEVER charge the users based on their current usage (which will always be available) and you ask for a donation to help offset your expenses until some other revenue model picks up, then I don't think there would be a problem. | |||||||||||||
Even if you can ask, imho, donations are kind of pointless unless you have wikipedia scale level of traffic. People simply do not donate. | |||
