There is a wonderful tale within you. It is the story of your ancestors and how you came to be. Tales of love, striving, family struggles, excellence, tragedy. Then there are the great legends: rags to riches, world-changing discoveries, and heroic adventure. Some may even be true. '7 Grand Steps' is the game that connects people to the cultural roots of western civilization. From the sweat of laborers to the perspective of kings, experience the wonder of a family lineage that survived the changing ages. Or did they survive? How you guide them will determine their fate. Like life, gameplay is a constantly shifting puzzle. Try to get the most for spending resources in the best way and in the best order. Every turn, the optimal tactic will change. Some turns will be joyful, perfectly played. In some you'll see a more optimal play, too late. The basics are simple: spend resources to advance, but the price of resources is retreat. Think two steps forward, one step back. Behind awaits the hunger of crocodiles, ahead the challenge of ages. It's a bit like life but more grand.

Bad Hotel is an insane hybrid of a tower defense game and a procedural music toy, with beautiful art and tons of bullets. You are a budding entrepreneur, whose hotel is rather unfortunately located within the territory of Tarnation Tadstock, the Texas Tyrant. Your only defense against Tadstock's army of seagulls, rats, yetis, and more is to build your hotel as quickly and intelligently as possible, using an array of increasingly sophisticated weapons. The beautiful artwork, quirky storyline, and frantic gameplay all work seamlessly together with a generative music system, which creates original music depending on the player's actions and decisions. The player becomes a composer, creating complex musical structures to defend their hotel. A vast variety of music can be generated, from delicate beach chillout to country banjo techno.

There's a man on a beach. The beach is empty. Empty as his heart. A heart alone, abandoned love. Love was left. Left in the warmth. The warmth of her digital breath. Her breath as neon glow. Glow as the sun. The sun sleeping in pillows. The pillows of clouds. The clouds form a bed. A bed for my soul. A soul that is restless. Restless like the gulls. The gulls on the beach. The beach in my heart. My heart pushes waves. Waves of blood through my veins. Veins pulled by the moon. The moon, cold heart of the galaxy. The galaxy at the end of the boardwalk. The boardwalk she used to walk on. Walking slowly, an old woman. A woman, alone, a woman studying love as a scientist. A scientist experimenting. Experimenting in the laboratory of her heart. Her heart, an ocean, waves of life. Life is cherished in the harshness of space. Space embraces us, crushes us with its hollow breath. Breath of a lover. A lover at the table. The table with the chess board. A board receives your move. Move me with your moves. Move me with your moves. Move away. Then move away. Away from the warmth, the silence inside. Inside disappears when we are on the beach. The beach caressed by the waves. Waves as fingers of the moon. The moon, heart of emptiness. Empty full empty full empty full heart. Heart to conquer, heart to move. The move again the move. To move the piece with words. Words from the writer. The writer, the woman. There's a woman on the beach. The beach is empty. Empty as her heart. A heart alone, abandoned love. Love was left. Left in the warmth. The warmth of his digital breath. His breath as neon glow. Glow as the sun. The sun sleeping in pillows. The pillows of clouds. The clouds form a bed. A bed for my soul. A soul that is restless. Restless like the gulls. The gulls of the sea. The sea gulls of the moon. The moon of the sand. The sand of the moon. The moon of the water. The water of the waves. The waves of the veins. The veins in the body. The body that you touch.

LiquidSketch is a puzzle game based entirely on simulated water. What makes it different from other such games is the simulation itself. It uses a different approach than most other games that trades some flexibility for very smooth and detailed fluid motion and realistic physics. The other distinguishing feature is that the water is colored and it mixes realistically. This allows you to see the motion inside the water in a visually nice way and is also used as a game play element. The Puzzles are more based on physical properties of water than on Rube Goldberg machine scenarios. You might have to use pressure or the siphon effect in clever ways for example. LiquidSketch also has a sandbox mode where you can experiment with all the game play elements however you want. There are already some cool experiments on YouTube!

Perspective is an experimental first person puzzle game. In Perspective, the player has two modes of control: a first person camera moving in 3D space, and an avatar that is constrained to the 2D world. In order to get the 2D avatar to the goal at the end of the level, the 3D player needs to move around in 3D space to create paths for the 2D avatar. Unlike other puzzle games that make use of 2D/3D such as Crush or Fez, Perspective allows the player to move around in 3D space freely. This opens up a lot of new ways to use perception as a puzzle mechanic to create new paths in 2D. Download Perspective for free at www.seewithperspective.com

Although it's increasingly common, telecommuting may be hazardous to employee evaluations. But employers can take steps to ensure that remote workers are judged fairly.
These days, more and more corporate employees are working at least part of the time from home offices. Working from home, or other types of remote work arrangements such as using a drop-in work center, can be beneficial to both employees and companies. However, authors Kimberly Elsbach (Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Davis) and Daniel Cable (London Business School) suggest that these nontraditional arrangements also have hidden pitfalls. Employees who work remotely may end up getting lower performance evaluations, smaller raises and fewer promotions than their colleagues in the office – even if they work just as hard and just as long. The difference is what the authors call passive face time. By that they are not referring to active interactions with coworkers or clients, but merely to being seen in the workplace.
For the last decade Elsbach and Cable have studied the concept of passive face time from the perspective of hundreds of corporate workers, including both supervisors and subordinates. They used observation, unstructured interviews and tightly controlled experiments to gather information about how passive face time affects employee evaluations. This data led Elsbach and Cable to three key findings described in the MIT Sloan Management Review article "Why Showing Your Face at Work Matters."

Teacher Credential Program
The Master's College is authorized to recommend candidates for both Multiple and Single Subject Preliminary teaching credentials. As a faith-based institution, the purpose of the credential program is to enable students to become excellent teachers who integrate faith into teaching, learning and living.
A major in teacher education is not acceptable for a California credential. Instead, credential candidates are expected to complete an undergraduate major that will prepare them in the content area(s) they will teach. In most content areas, candidates must also pass a subject matter examination.
Following the subject matter preparation and the posting of a bachelors degree, candidates complete a series of graduate level courses that prepare them to teach the subject(s) authorized by the credential, to teach exceptional learners and English learners in the regular classroom setting, and to gain the information and skills needed to obtain a credential.
Admission Requirements for the Teacher Credential Program
No Teacher Credential Program courses can be taken prior to admission to the graduate level Credential Program.
Application for admission to the Teacher Credential Program is normally submitted during the first semester of a student's senior year. A student must have taken the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) and have at least a 2.75 cumulative grade point average for admission to the program. Additional admission requirements and information about the admission process are available in the Teacher Education Office.

09-10-2012, 02:32 PM #6Crutchfield will sell you 5.25, 6.5, and 6.75 for doors that have 6.75 speakers (and some that have 6.5 where 6.75 will fit). This is because they also give you adapters for them to fit the doors. So for the 5.25, you'll actually end up mounting the speakers to the doors with a plastic adapter.
As for recommendations, I like Polk Audio's speakers for a reasonably priced, good quality speaker , and these db651 speakers, should fit great.

For that price Not much.. Are you going to be turning up the Volume all the time? My guess is YES!!! Well First off stay far away from Pioneer and Sony unless you like Ear bleeds....If you are not amping them and only useing your factory radio I would go for a pair of the Alpine Type S,Focal Acces or for a better Midbass JL Audio TR's. All priced between $80-$129.00 per pair And 6 1/2 will be what you want...
If you are going to be listining to Heavy metal I would watch how loud you go All your going to get is Distortion at higher volumes with out the right power going to those speakers...Your factory radio will only give about 13-18 watts RMS and most speakers want atleast 30-40 RMS to start08 Z71 Avalanche Mods to date: K&N CAI,Hellwig Swaybars and End Links, Corsa Sport Exhaust, Superchips Programer,IPCW LOF & 3rd brake light and tails, AMI Gas door,Show Hooks and Door locks, Enkei Wheels, with Pirelli tires, StreetScene Bowties, Grant Steering wheel,Muth signal mirrors,SSBC Big Brake kit,Huskyliner Mug gards,Floor mats and Hood shield, McGard Lug nuts and locks, Bedrug, Cervini's Ram Air hood,35watt HID Fog lights, Sylvania bulbs all around ZXE's Highs and Lows, WhiteNight Back up lights,Sirius and HD Radio, SnugTop sitting on deck now Got a Softopper on now,Tempress Boat Hatches....

As an Outlook user I have to admit the plug-in is just AWESOME. It glues the whole workflow process together. Now I know this will sound corny but I really cant imagine using outlook without it.
I v been using the plug-in for about 6 months with very few problems, and I highly recommend it for anyone using outlook though a special discount for connect members wouldnt hurt.
I was just wondering why isnt Netcentrics developing a version for Gmail?

For all those of you who are attending the Asheville 4th of July national show, please be aware that the Biltmore is offering a special rate of $40 per person to tour the house and the grounds. As many of you are coming in early for the show (I see a lot coming in on Sunday-Thursday), that would be a good time to get tickets and see the Biltmore.
The show site is less than 10 miles from the Biltmore. Call 1-866-851-4661 and ask for group code #409.
It takes about 4-5 hours to see the house and the grounds, longer if you do some shopping, visit the winery and have lunch or dinner. Either way, if you have never been to the estate or it has been a long time, now is the time to get the discounted tickets!

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
To get a court order requiring a third party that holds funds belonging to a debtor to set some portion of that money aside for the benefit of the creditor. For example, a court might issue an order garnishing the wages of a parent who owes child support; the employer is then required to withhold a certain amount of the parent's paycheck each month and send that money to someone -- often, the local sheriff -- to be paid to the other parent.

More Florida students than ever are taking tough college-level classes in high school.
Over the past decade, Florida has invested nearly $650 million in Advanced Placement programs and incentives like teacher bonuses. But with four in 10 students passing the AP exam in 2012, is it worth it?
It depends on how you measure the results:
• Enrollment is way up. Over the past decade, the number of students taking AP exams has nearly tripled.
• More minority students are taking the classes. Broward and Miami-Dade have gotten top honors in the country for Hispanic and black students participation and performance on AP.
• Passing rates have slipped statewide. Statewide, 45 percent of test-takers pass the AP exam. At some South Florida schools, the passing rates are 10 percent or less.
• The classes have become crowded. In 2011, the state Legislature exempted AP from class size rules.
In 2012, nearly a third of all 10th- through 12th-graders took an AP test, according to Department of Education records. The first big increase in AP enrollment came after the state partnered with the College Board, under former Gov. Jeb Bush. The number of AP test-takers jumped by 25,000 students, or nearly 20 percent, in 2010 when state administrators included AP in the school grade formula for high schools.
Last school year, the state spent more than $70 million in incentives for AP classes. Thats about $500 for every passing score, slightly less than the cost about $600 for three credit hours at Florida International University.
Florida and the College Board have a close partnership, started under Bush. The state pays exam fees for the College Board tests. Teachers get bonuses if students pass. The states contract with the College Board, for nearly $4 million in 2011 and $1.6 million through September 2012, includes workshops for counselors, administrator scholarships to a summer AP program, course audits and other training.
The college-level program used to be known as a VIP program for elite students. Now its more about open access.
Consider Miami Jackson Senior High, a long-struggling school that earned its first A from the state in 2011.
Julian Cazañas, the former principal who now works in adult education, said most of the AP students at Miami Jackson will pass the high school class, but not the AP exam, which is rigorous and scored by outside graders.
While Miami Jackson students taking AP exams grew over the past decade, from 83 to 135 students, 14 percent of them passed their AP exam in 2012.
Participation is way up, but performance isnt necessarily there. The game is too new. The exposure is too new. I think youll get a balance after students get two or three years of exposure, Cazañas said.
He compared it to a student going to an opera for the first time and walking out with nothing to say. Maybe after two or three times of seeing that opera, maybe that child can say something.
Other educators and students agree AP has benefits beyond getting college credit for free. The curriculum exposes them to more information. Students generally have to write more and under tight deadlines. The format is supposed to spur critical thinking, independent study and confidence.
BriAna Hartfield said her AP environmental science course was one of the toughest science classes at Miami Jackson. Youre more on your own. You take the textbook home, and you have to read. If you dont, youre lost, she said. She passed the exam with a 3 and now attends the University of Miami.

Women's Collection
Rapha's collection of apparel and accessories for women has been expanded for Autumn Winter 2012 and now includes new products for high-tempo training and city riding. The products feature in our most recent photoshoot, which took place in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. Shot by Ben Ingham, Rapha riders Gem Atkinson and Collyn Ahart were game enough to tackle the 'hills' in the area, in some cases repeatedly and occasionally to the point of tears (sorry Collyn). In the coming weeks, we'll also have a film of their ascent of the mighty Mont Zoncolan. In the meantime, here's a short from Mr Ingham to keep you going, a film that also features in Rapha's new lookbook.
Rapha now has a dedicated page of content for women, including inspiring films, stories and images from women riders around the world.

Where is OSU ranked in the 2013 preseason?
Too many unknowns at this point. The season isn't over, nobody knows who will will play who in the bowls and probably the biggest factor, who will get hurt by early exits for the NFL. I did pick 6-10, simply because of having Meyer in his 2nd year and MIller isn't going anywhere.
A lot depends on our last two games. Win both those and we'll be in the top five.
If we lose one though, between the weakness of the B1G and the number of people we lose on defense (even if the replacements are improvements, they still have to adjust to the college game and OSU's system) then i could see us being toward the bottom of the top ten.
Lose both and I could see us being as low as 20.
I'm not even accounting for the variable of what happens elsewhere with other teams.
I'm assuming Big Hank and Roby leave in this comment. Things change if one or both stay.
Depends. If everyone comes back, 3-7 isn't out of the question(losing Boren, Simon, Williams and Sabino will be huge). If they lose BR, and JH, 8-12.
Oregon and a SEC team will have the 1st two spots locked up.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I voted 3-5 mostly because we only lose a couple starters on Offense. I know we'll lose more on Defense. From the D Line, Simon, Williams, Goebel, and possibly Hank will be gone, but I feel like we have a lot of young talent on the D Line who will step up. From the LBs, we lose Klein, Sabino, and Boren. This is the position I'm most concerned about, but we have almost a year for all the young talent to develop into starters. At CB, we lose Howard (I think Roby stays), but I think guys like Doran Grant, Armani Reeves, and Najee Murray will step up. At Safety/Star, we lose Orhian Johnson, but, again, I'm confident a young player will step up whether it be Devan Bogard, Pitt Brown, or somebody else. Overall, I'm optimistic this team will be better next year.
I choose 3-5 b/c I think the offense will be pretty darn dynamic next season. I see them averaging around 50 ppg.
If Roby comes back I'll feel much better about the secondary, but I'm confident in the talent that is on the D-line, Shazier will be All B1G, possibly AA, some of the young LB's need to step up and it would be nice if Burrows and Woodard could step in right away and add some quality depth.
Overall, by the end of next season this team might be scary good.
We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, we're from O-HI-O!
I started a reply about how ridiculous it was to assume we'd average 50 points a game, and then I looked at our stats from this year and realized that it's entirely possible. We're just under 40 ppg right now, so another 25% increase might be pushing it a bit, but it's not completely unreasonable. This offense still has a lot of room to grow, so assuming they take another couple of steps forward next year...I'll say ~45ppg next year. Unless our defense it epicly bad, we should be in a position to make a mighty fine run at the title game.
Slider...you stink
Best case scenario, Buckeyes finish 12-0 and hold on to Hankins. If so, there is no way they will be ranked lower than 3.
Worst case scenario, Buckeyes lose either one or both of last two games and lose Hankins to draft. If so, 6-10 is likely.
My scenario, Buckeyes finish 12-0, lose Hankins to NFL and start season ranked 3-5.
I hate being a dick, but let me Google that for you.
35 hours to Pasadena! Go Bucks!
I personally think OSU could be in the top spot or # 2 in the first poll next year. It has little to do with schedules as far as pre-season rankings (ND wasn't even in top ten and had the toughest schedule before this season started). I can see 2 for sure if 12-0 is attained...and seems it's going happen. I'm not as worried as many are about Whisky or tTUN defenses. I have a feeling if our defense plays like they have lately, then the last two games may be tough or close, but OSU will prevail. The offense hasn't been the problem all year. They're ranked in the top ten for scoring offense...A HUGE improvement from last year I'd say.

I have no idea what most other teams are returning, so it's all a huge guess.
Looks like Bama is losing 2-3 OL to the draft (Jones, Warmack and maybe Fluker), but they return pretty much all their skill starters, including McCarron, Yeldon and their WRs. On defense, looks like they lose only three or four full-timers. You'd have to put them #1 again.
Gotta think that one or more of Florida, LSU or Georgia will also be very high, along with Oregon.
We'll probably lose Hankins and be in that 3-5 zone if we win out. If we lose Roby or both of our last games, we'll def be lower.
I guessed 3-5 but I wouldn't list any team in the top 5, returning as few of starters on the defense as what we will be. Granted, I know we have a lot of projected talent but not proven talent. Spence and Washington has shown flashes of brilliance. Schutt has been decent but hasn't really stood out. Bosa will be a true Freshman and Spense spoke extensively about how big of a jump it was for him to go from High School to college. We will lose Boren and Sabino. We get Shazier back, which is a bonus, and a mildly experienced Perry. Probably losing Roby and Johnson. We keep Bryant but he has had some horrible coverage in quite a few games and is very susceptible to making mistakes and bad penalties. I think we get Howard back. He has proven to be decent this year but he is no Roby either. I see a lot of potential with next years defense but potential doesn't always translate to success.

Lions surrender three-goal lead as King's hat-trick rescues Blues (From News Shopper)

Millwall 3-3 Birmingham
9:48pm Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in Sport
MILLWALL threw away a three-goal lead as Marlon King grabbed a hat-trick to rescue a point for Birmingham City.
It looked to be game over early on as the Lions raced clear in the opening 18 minutes through Chris Wood (2) and Chris Taylor.
But King handed the visitors a lifeline in first half stoppage time and it was game on once the striker added his second of the game three minutes after the restart.
The comeback was completed by King on 63 minutes and in fairness a draw was probably the right result, although neither manager will be happy with their defenders.
The Lions made one change from Saturday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace as Liam Feeney came in on for Scott Malone, who was named on the bench.
Birmingham had the first chance on nine minutes when Marlon King sent a curling 20 yard effort inches over David Forde's bar, although the Lions keeper looked like he would have dealt with it had the attempt been on target.
Darius Henderson just failed to climb high enough Feeney's inviting cross but the Lions broke the deadlock on 11 minutes when a long Feeney throw in was flicked on by Henderson to Wood, whose header went under Jack Butland.
The Birmingham keeper really should have done better but his night went from bad to worse two minutes later as the hosts quickly doubled their advantage.
Feeney's delivery wasn't cleared by the Blues defence, allowing Chris Taylor to pounce and fire past Butland from close range.
Two quickly became three as Wood grabbed his second of the game in the 18th minute.
A Liam Trotter cross into the box took a slight deflection off a Birmingham defender on its way to Wood, who won the initial header and then coolly lifted the ball over Butland.
It is hard to believe Butland is an England international on this evidence, or that Everton are reportedly considering paying top dollar to secure his services in the January transfer window.
Trotter was unfortunate not to get a 31st minute from just inside the area on target after meeting Henderson's flick on.
It took Birmingham 35 minutes to produce a save from Forde but he was more than a match for wade Elliott's long range drive.
Wood had a glorious chance to complete a first half hat-trick five minutes before the break after Trotter played him through but the striker lost his footing and fired wide from eight yards.
And Wood went close again moments later with an angled drive which Butland did well to push behind, his first decent save in the game.
The visitors reduced the arrears in stoppage time as King converted Leroy Lita's low cross from four yards.
Millwall introduced Shane Lowry at the start of the second half in place of Jack Smith and straight away Butland was called into action straight away to prevent Henderson making it 4-1.
Instead Birmingham reduced the arrears to 3-2 on 48 minutes as a low David Murphy cross picked out King, who turned and controlled the ball before shooting past Forde.
So having been completely outplayed for virtually all of the first half, two King strikes either side of the break had somehow got the visitors right back into the contest.
Ravel Morrison blocked Danny Shittu's effort and Henderson headed straight at Butland from Feeney's dangerous 58th minute cross as the Lions looked to calm the nerves with another goal.
But it was Birmingham and King who struck next as the striker completed his hat-trick, and Blues' remarkable recovery, in the 63rd minute.
Murphy was again the provider as his clever assist was smashed home by King from inside the area to stun the disbelieving home fans into silence.
Andy Keogh came on for Feeney but it was Birmingham who went close when Nathan Redmond produced a reaction stop from Forde with a 20 yard shot.
Morrison came to Birmingham's rescue for the second time in the game by making a vital tackle to deny Keogh an effort on goal.
Trotter's 82nd minute free-kick caused panic in the visiting defence as Henderson headed the ball back to Keogh, whose shot was deflected behind for a corner.
An 86th minute Millwall attack broke down and Blues quickly countered with King dragging a low shot just wide of Forde's post.
The Lions went close went close in the 89th minute as Henderson's free-kick flew past the wall and then inches wide.
Four minutes of stoppage time failed to produce a winner and the referee finally called a halt to what had been a cracking game.

In an economy that's recovering, those with the most needs sometimes don't get the most attention. That's why agencies like the United Way, and the Marathon County Hunger Coalition came together to discuss how to meet the counties needs.
With the turn of the new year, the annual meeting takes a look at what needs were not met in 2012, and how to meet those needs in the new year.
In this day and age, these community members realize the need to work together to solve these type of issues, and that's why there's no time like the present to collaborate.
Julie Grip, a part of United Way's 2-1-1 explained, "We've seen basic needs go up in the last 4 to 5 years due to the recession. However, this is why we meet because we see the need and the value of these programs."
Another problem tackled in the meeting today, and easier way to link people with the resources that they need.
One way to do that is by calling United Way's free and confidential hotline at 2-1-1.

Captain Cook - Obsession and Discovery - 4 x 1 hr Documentary (2007)
ABC (Australia), Prime (NZ)
With Film Australia, December Films and Ferns TV, South Pacific Pictures produced Captain Cook – Obsession and Discovery, a major documentary series based on Vanessa Collingridge's book Cook - Obsession And Betrayal In The New World. The international co-production which was shot in the UK, Canada, Tahiti, Australia and New Zealand.
It is almost impossible to overstate the achievements of James Cook. This brilliant navigator explored more of the Earth's surface than any other man before or since.
But more than a century after Cook, an amateur cartographer named George Collingridge sparked outrage when he claimed that Cook's achievements had indeed been overstated. According to Collingridge, a series of ancient maps proved it was the Portuguese, not James Cook, who had discovered Australia.
In the late 1800s, this was not something the Australians – or the British Empire at its zenith – wanted to hear. Collingridge was silenced.
This remarkable new documentary reopens the book on Collingridge's claims. His descendent, broadcaster and geographer Vanessa Collingridge, embarks on her own voyage of discovery to reassess the achievements of Cook and to test the theories of George Collingridge.
Lauded for her findings in her book Captain Cook - Obsession and Discovery, Vanessa Collingridge will open the world of 18th Century sea travel for viewers through state-of-the art television technique. Dramatic reconstruction and CGI will bring the world of Captain James Cook to life.
Interviews and experiments with leading scientific and nautical experts will illustrate just how remarkable Cook's numerous discoveries were, as well as showing where, limited by 18th century technology, he failed.
Never before has the life of this great man been so vividly – and accurately – portrayed.
Personalising the series is Vanessa Collingridge's quest to understand the findings of her troublesome ancestor George Collingridge. Has history done him a disservice for ignoring his claims? Or can they now be dismissed as misguided? The process of her personal discoveries makes for compelling viewing.

Finch wary of Rhinos threat
Former Wigan Warriors stand-off Brett Finch has plenty to tell Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy about World Club Challenge opponents Leeds Rhinos.
Melbourne, the Australian champions, tackle the Super League Grand Final winners at Headingley on February 22 and Finch, who has rejoined the Storm after spending the past two seasons at Wigan, admitted the Rhinos will be tough opponents.
"The nucleus of the team has been there for quite a while," Finch told reporters ahead of Storm's first training session in Melbourne today.
"They have plenty of experienced players who have had plenty of success at that level."
While the Melbourne club's big three of Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk were absent and will not restart training until early January, Finch knows better than most what makes the Yorkshire side tick.
The 31-year-old, who won the 2009 NRL Grand Final with the Storm before they were stripped of the title for salary cap breaches, has returned to the club on a one-year contract after his stint with Wigan, whom he helped to a 28-18 win over the Rhinos in the 2011 Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
Finch, who intends to see out the rest of his career in Melbourne, said he was offered more financially attractive deals from other NRL clubs but the opportunity to become reunited with Bellamy was too hard to turn down.
"There were a few other offers but I think if I was going to come back from England it was going to be back to Melbourne," Finch said.
"Obviously career-wise there were probably better opportunities at other clubs in terms of the financial situation but I just wanted to be back and a part of the club.
"It's a different role to what I've experienced in the past but I'm just happy to contribute where the club sees fit."

C + Ca3(PO4)2 or C × CaPO4
Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any color, and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black.
Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence, though it is considered the least permanent of the major black pigments.
Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.
Animal Black, Blue Black, Bone Black. Paris Black is an inferior grade of Ivory Black. Incorrectly labeled as Frankfort Black.
copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blues are pure and clean primary blues with superior covering power. They have a very high tinting strength and tend to overwhelm other pigments, but if color strength can be controlled, they make predictable mixed colors. In oil form, blues are very deep and slow drying. When mixed with other colors or if chlorine is added, Phthalo Blue quickly tends towards green. When using alone, mix with some white, as Phthalo Blue can be semi-transparent and almost black on its own. It is among the most compatible of modern colors with mineral colors and is considered more reliable than Prussian Blue, while sharing the same physical and color properties. Phthalo Blue is a good color for glazing.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

NORTH ADAMS -- The former Brien Center building on Marshall Street was sold at auction Thursday afternoon for $210,000.
Two bidders competed against one another to drive the price from a starting bid of $100,000 to $210,000.
The 22,560-square-foot brick building at 25 Marshall St., previously owned by John and Edith Leu, is located on a well-trafficked, prime commercial area near Mass MoCA and City Hall. The building most recently was used by the Brien Center, a mental health and substance abuse clinic.
That Brien Center office, along with its Curran Highway Adult Day Health Center, moved to its new location at 124 American Legion Drive on March 23.
The individual who bought the property declined to disclose his name or reveal what he plans to do with the property.
Prior to the auction, a representative of Aaron Posnik Inc., of Springfield, who auctioned off the building, said that a $20,000 deposit would be required.
The "absolute auction" would require the new owner to acquire the building in the condition it currently stands and the sale of the building would need to be completed within about 30 days, the representative said.
Edith Leu watched the auction, which took place on the building's parking lot, with her husband and two grown daughters from behind about two dozen spectators.
Following the auction, the Leu family celebrated by exchanging hugs and kisses.
The Leus, who are in their mid-80s, have previously stated they were selling the property because they were ready for retirement. They no longer had the desire to put any more time and energy into renovations.
"It's time," Edith Leu said. "It's served us well. It's time to move on."
Over the years, the building has served a wide-range of uses, Edith Leu said. It had been the site of a gasoline station, and the building has also been used for retail, towing and furniture sale.
Edith Leu said that the couple had owned the building since 1957.
Leu wouldn't elaborate on what she would use the money from the sale for, besides saying that she would, "continue a comfortable retirement."
