British boy band One Direction is being sued by a much lesser known American band -- also called One Direction -- and now, the Americans are out for blood ... demanding the Brits change their name.
The U.S. One Direction just filed the lawsuit, claiming they formed in 2009 -- an entire year before the UK band members even knew each other -- and have since developed a considerable following this side of the Atlantic.
In addition to building a reputation around the name, the Americans claim they also beat the Brits in a race to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office -- filing a trademark application for "One Direction" long before their UK counterparts.
Now, the Americans are asking for a court order -- requiring the Brits to change their name.
The Americans are also suing Simon Cowell's record label and Sony Music -- demanding more than $1 million in damages.
The British band -- which was formed by Simon Cowell in 2010 while members competed on the UK "X Factor" -- has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
A lawyer for the UK band tells TMZ, the group plans to fight back -- claiming, "[British] One Direction's lawyers now have no choice but to defend the lawsuit and the band's right to use their name."
If US 1D got to the US Patent Office first, why does that matter to UK 1D? They're a band based out of the UK.
I still don't give a damn about either one
Now, I've heard of the U.K. One Direction (not a fan, but I hear about them all the time). I have never once heard of the U.S. One Direction (have to wonder about that "considerable" following). Looking up the US group, all I found where links to articles talking about this, a video that was released this year, and a poor looking website.
Bet this gets settled out of court, where the UK group gets to keep the name and the US one gets a nice check in the mail.
Americans need to chill.
This is so stupid.
Simon Cowell will probs just pay a couple million to the U.S. One Direction and the situation will be resolved. Attention whores
The chinese guy in the U.S 'One Direction' photo. Thats why they never became popular,
LOL really?? there getting sued? please those people are sueing them cause there not that famous im sorry but ive never heard of them..?? so who cares i LOVE YOU LIAM!! <3
Starting his engine up, John Drury is on the move. In fact, the 41-year-old is always one journey or another these days. But in the past year, he was traveling a personal one.
The 6'7 and 292-pound truck driver became a loser behind the wheel--dropping 100 of his nearly 400 pounds in a year.
"The lifestyle of a truck driver... it's brutal," Drury said laughing, while driving the 18-wheeler on Interstate 275. "We cover about six states and we work a lot of hours. I'm on the road a lot."
A lot is right--working anywhere from 60 to 70 hours a week. It's time spent doing something he enjoys.
"I love truck driving," said Drury. "I just love the open road."
It's also a lot of sitting, very little sleeping and eating loads of truck stop, greasy food--not the most ideal way to lose weight.
"There's not a quick fix. I mean, people always ask me, 'How did you do it?' 'What's the secret?' There's just really no secret. It's blood, sweat and tears. It's dedication. It's commitment. It's really wanting to lose weight."
The husband and father of two sons said one of his biggest inspirations was his friend and fellow truck driver, Dave Johnson, better known to those at Taylor Distribution as 'Big Dave'.
"I think about him every day on this weight-loss journey," he said about Johnson, who died severely overweight.
"I just think of him... I have to make a change. I want to be here. I don't want to leave my family and this earth prematurely. I want to be around as long as I can," said Drury.
"Knowing that he passed away from something that I was struggling with myself... that really hit home. I have to make a change. This is serious."
He reflected, however, on how he may have been able to help his late friend, who had talked to him about losing weight with him.
"... Maybe I could've helped him out. You know if I could've done this earlier, maybe I could've been a bigger motivation to him. To help him lose it while he was still here," said Drury, sobbing, trying to hold back his tears, as he remembered his friend.
"I know he's looking down on me saying, way to go Big John. Way to go."
For where he is today, John attributes eating better, drinking more water, walking when he has time during his travels and Zumba when he is home... and ultimately getting to his goal: 250 pounds.
"I still have a goal, I'm not there yet. The old me is dead and gone away..." he quoted the tattoo he had inked on the side of his bald head.
Along with his weight-loss goals, his mission now, is to help others achieve theirs. Something he's no longer able to do for Johnson.
"I'm there to tell people, 'I've been there and done that. I've been in your shoes."
And to do that, he has new brightly colored cross-trainers--and a Zumba class of his own starting up on Saturday, called "Big John's Zumba" class.
Hope you guys realize this is nothing but a publicity stunt. This Simon guy figures he can push these gayboy bans on U.S. consumers.
Really, who listens to this crap? These silly studio created charlatans are nothing more than products of executives trying to push a product.
Simon and his silly clowns plucked these nobodies from obscurity, slapped them together and thought of the name "One Direction." Then presented them to the public as the next big thing...."the hottest group coming up."
Lol. Bunch of clowns. GTFOOH with these chimps.
NEVER EVEN HEARD OF U.S ONE DIRECTION AND I LIVE IN THE U.S...This is really ridiculous!
This is just ****ing ridiculous. The US One Direction has obviously gotten no where if I'm from the US and haven't heard of them before today, keeping in mind that i've had a Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr for over 3 years.
Of course the American version has a fat kid in it.
the public should have a vote of who we like better u.k 1d or u.s 1d and who ever get the most votes should have the name!! my vote 100% u.k :) and i never even heard of the u.s one direction :/
(UK) One Direction should not be the ones to change their names. They are known worldwide. Have a merchandise store, online and in shopping centres. A No.1 album. Three singles. 4 world records. If they were to change their name all that would be nothing.
It does not matter if they are famous or losers.
It does not matter if you have never heard of them or forgot about them.
They bought the rights and the trademarks for the U.S so they OWN the name "One Direction" in the U.S. which is where everybody wants to be big!
Simon Cowell will have to buy the name from the U.S. band in order to be able to sell concert tickets and merchandises with their faces on it in the U.S.
Even if a name check was done before the band became famous, Cowell would still had to buy the name.
I am surprised he (or his employees) did not do a better job. He has been in the business for 20 years, he should have known!
A lawsuit is not stupid! It was probably done because Cowell and his croonies did not bother to answer calls from the U.S. band.
Now with the lawsuit, a judge can grant an injunction (if asked) to stop Cowell from using the name until a settlement (or a judgement) is reached.
Changing the name just for the US would be costly! Tickets would have to be reprinted, t-shirts, posters are going to stay in their shipping boxes.
Going to trial will take time so a settlement is the best and quicker solution: Cowell will buy the name for more money that it would have cost him if he had bought it one year ago!
Yes, the same happens for Bush who had to use the name Bush X for a year in Canada only because an canadian band had bought the name in the 1970s. Disappearing from the limelight does not mean you lose your rights! The cdn band kept paying for the trademark till 1995 so it was theirs to do as it pleases. Now Gavin Rossdale owns the name in the UK, US and Canada, and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Sheriff speaks to group at Ole Miss
By SUE WATSON
Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson was the invited speaker and guest of honor at the recent banquet of the University of Mississippi Department of Legal Studies, School of Applied Sciences.
The department, chaired by Dr. David McElreath, provides crucial training in the justice system to law enforcement officers and those moving into careers in criminal justice.
Dickerson, a nearly 40-year veteran law enforcement officer, is well known among his peers over the state of Mississippi as well as outside the state.
David Cook was recognized at the banquet as the recipient of the Rob Warren Outstanding Criminal Justice Student Award. Cook has pursued his higher education while continuing to work at the Marshall County Sheriff's Department. The award is given to the outstanding criminal justice student of the year.
Dickerson was invited to speak before a group of close to 200 educators and law enforcement officers, judges and district attorneys because of his many years of service to law enforcement and support to the University, according to Jimmy Warren, special agent with the sheriff's department and retired deputy U.S. Attorney.
The sheriff applauded the Department of Legal Studies for its contributions to educating law enforcement officers. The department gives law enforcement officers the tools they need to do their jobs and to combat ever increasing sophistication of crimes and criminals.
McElreath said Dickerson is a "model of professionalism."
"He is, without question, a man of the highest integrity and honor. He has been an outstanding supporter of the department for years, employing graduates, training interns, influencing our next generation of justice professionals."
Dickerson commented on the importance of dedicated, as well as educated, officers who serve in public safety. As a veteran of the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Dickerson worked many years in criminal investigations before being elected as sheriff of Marshall County in 1995. During his tenure with MHP he was nominated and successfully graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
Dickerson took the officer of the year award during his first year with MHP and was recipient of the patrol's highest honor for bravery and heroism in the line of duty.
"In my many years of law enforcement, I have seen the best of the best and the worst of the worst, relating to crimes and crime victims," he said. "Many of the sights I have seen during my career have caused me to experience many nightmares during my sleep. My experience, education and training have helped me to serve the citizens of Marshall County and state in an effective manner. The privilege of working with some of the best people in the judiciary and attorneys on both sides and fellow elected officials has been most rewarding, as has been the case with my entire staff and other law enforcement agencies.
"I do my best to carry out the duties of the sheriff's office in a way and manner that is fair to the young and old, rich and poor, black and white. I take the office very seriously, not as an ego trip, and have always been thankful to the electorate who put me in office."
Dickerson said he has to be able to say no but is very careful never to deliberately mislead anyone.
He said he thanks God most for watching over him and others who work in public safety during the many dangerous encounters and he remains most humble for God's over watching and care.

- White Dressing Table
White Dressing Table
Dressing tables make an elegant, luxurious addition to your bedroom. They provide a place for ladies to comfortably sit to apply make up or style their hair.
Dressing tables are often composed of an ornately decorated but simply shaped structure that will act as a place to position any grooming essentials such as a hair brush or make up.
These products are often available in a range of colours and materials; a key fashion at present is that of traditional white dressing tables. A rise in demand for white coloured dressing tables stems from an increased popularity of vintage inspired shabby chic furniture. This new style is very popular with bedroom furniture options as the light, neutral shade of the white helps to create a refreshing aesthetic while the detailing , look perfectly matches the vintage fashion.
Dressing tables have been in use for many centuries, the popularity of the function and design of this table reinforces the products' unique benefits while also indicating its ability to complement new and different styles and fashions. For the ideal combination of pretty and practical, a white dressing table is a timeless investment that will add a beautiful stylish look to your bedroom.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.
In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.
I am also co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.
½ cups milk
½ cup sugar
½ cup rice, washed and drained*
½ cup water
1 teaspoon rosewater or orange blossom water
½ cup blanched slivered almonds for decoration
Bring the milk and sugar to the boil. Add the rice, mixed with the water, and stir until it comes to a boil again. Turn down the heat to a low simmer and cook gently until the mixture becomes very creamy which will take approximately 45 minutes (Add a little more milk during cooking if necessary). Add the rosewater or orange water, stirring until bubbles appear on the surface. Remove from the heat and cool slightly, then pour into a bowl and refrigerate.
Serve chilled, decorated with slivered almonds.
*Be sure to use Watermaid rice. You can leave off the almonds if you like.

The new art house hit Renoir has sparked renewed interest not only in French Impressionist painter Pierre-August Renoir, but also in his son, master filmmaker Jean Renoir. Jean is well known for such 1930s b&w classics as Grand Illusion and Rules of the Game. But in the 1950s he started working in color, and in this short series we present four of his greatest color works, one of which plays explicit tribute to his father and the impressionist era.
Admission to each film is $9; Cinematheque members $7; age 25 & under $6. For more information, call 216.421.7450 or visit www.cia.edu/cinematheque.

As teams around the NFL begin to prepare for the new league year and the OTAs that will come before next season, numerous players have been signed to reserve/future contracts.
The latest team to announce their signings was the Oakland Raiders, who chose three players to receive the contracts with the team.
The three players to receive the reserve/future contracts were safety Neiko Thorpe, linebacker Frank Beltre and offensive guard Jarrod Shaw.
Out of the three players that the Raiders signed, only Thorpe has played in any games.
Thorpe played in nine games for the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs in 2012, while neither Beltre or Shaw have seen live game action.
While Beltre and Shaw will be long shots to make the Raiders roster, Thorpe will have an opportunity to make the team if he excels in special teams.

According to two new reports, there is enough wind on earth to generate all of its power needs. But that is only part of the story.
October 2, 2012—According to two reports published in separate journals last month—"Saturation Wind Power Potential and Its Implications for Wind Energy" and "Geophysical Limits to Global Wind Power"—the earth technically has enough wind power to fulfill global power needs. However, that is only part of the story: Reliance on wind, water, and solar power could feasibly create a clean-energy economy within thirty years, according to one of the researchers. "A clean-energy economy is one in which the energy infrastructure results in zero air pollution, zero water chemical pollution, zero greenhouse gas emissions (for example, carbon dioxide), and one that is sustainable and reliable in the long term," said Mark Z. Jacobson, Ph.D., a professor of civil and environmental engineering and the director of the atmosphere/energy program at Stanford University who wrote in response to written questions submitted by Civil Engineering online. Jacobson coauthored the "Saturation" paper for the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science with Cristina L. Archerb, Ph.D., an associate professor of physical ocean science and engineering at the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment at the University of Delaware. Converting completely to power generated by wind, water, and sunlight (WWS) is technically feasible within the next few decades, Jacobson said, citing prior research he conducted with Mark Delucchi, Ph.D., a researcher in the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. While either wind or solar power has the potential to supply the globe's needs individually, relying on a combination of wind, water (geothermal and hydroelectric), and sunlight is a more reliable option, Jacobson noted in a presentation he gave this summer at a seminar sponsored by Google at the technology firm's Mountain View, California, headquarters. Jacobson pointed to real-time tests performed in California for 2005 and 2006 that indicated that a combination of the four sources of power met electricity needs in California 99.8 percent of the time during the two years, even under extreme conditions. "The main limitations [are] neither technical nor even economic. They [are] primarily social and political," Jacobson told Civil Engineering online. "We believe that all new energy can be WWS by 2030 and existing energy can be phased out by no later than 2050. "The technologies are here," Jacobson said. "The issue is implementing policies wisely." The tax breaks and subsidies provided by the federal government so that fossil fuels can be used to meet energy needs amounted to $72.5 billion between 2002 and 2008, he said. With these kinds of subsidies, convincing energy users and energy providers to switch to clean power can be an uphill battle even though the air pollution caused by fossil fuels are well known, and well studied. But end prices to the consumer can also support the switch to clean energy. For example, Jacobson noted that wind can cost less than fossil fuel-generated electricity. "From 2003-2011, the five states with more than10 percent of their electricity from wind saw residential electricity price increases of only 2 cents/kWh during that period, whereas all the other states, dominated by fossils, saw their rates increase by 3.6 cents/kWh," Jacobson said. "Hawaii, in fact, saw its price increase from 16 to 33 cents/kWh." Hawaii has great wind and solar potential, he said, but is still dominated by fossil-generated electricity. There are immediate policy options that the federal government or states can implement, he said. They include "virtual net metering for solar; feed-in tariffs for wind and solar; eliminating subsidies for fossil fuels, biofuels, nuclear power, and internal combustion vehicles; reducing permitting barriers to clean energy projects; and facilitating the implementation of electric charging stations," Jacobson said. (Virtual net metering enables multimeter property owners to allocate any credits they receive from their electric utility for operating a clean energy system on their property to the tenants themselves; feed-in tariffs guarantee solar energy producers a set price from the utilities to which they sell power.) Civil engineers can accelerate the nation's shift toward clean energy through immediate grass roots-level change, Jacobson said. "Buildings themselves and the construction of buildings as well as other infrastructure require a lot of energy," he said. "Civil engineers can encourage or require the use of clean energy and develop methods of improving the energy efficiency of the construction process and ensure that buildings, when built, use the least amount of energy possible." While the goal of creating a clean-energy economy within the next 30 years can seem daunting, a significant cultural shift within this time frame is certainly possible and not unprecedented, according to Marco Krapels, an executive vice president and commercial banking products division manager with Rabobank North America, the North American branch of the Utrecht, the Netherlands-based global food and agricultural banking firm Rabobank, who also spoke at the Google seminar. Krapels pointed out that 30 years ago people were told that smoking was fine, and doctors were used in commercials to sell cigarettes. However, within that time frame a fundamental cultural shift occurred, identifying smoking as a habit with significant, and severe, health implications. A similar reorientation in the world's awareness of how its energy supplies are generated, and how they impact the environment, is also necessary—and feasible—Krapels noted. Considering that Jacobson began his talk at Google noting that 2.5 million people die every year from diseases and complications created by air pollution (15 to 20 percent of these deaths are children under the age of five who die in developing countries), the need is particularly pressing. Indeed, air pollution mortality is one of the five leading causes of death worldwide, Jacobson noted. These annual deaths can ultimately be eliminated with a clean-energy economy, he said.
I like Dr. Gessler's comment. Conservation and energy management will be a key to our success.I have serious reservations about the article. What is the effect, both locally and globally, of removing energy from natural systems, and what are the unintended consequences of such a massive investment and operating system? We know that fossil fuels contribute waste energy and pollution to the environment. We also have a good handle on the technology and the impacts. Fossil fuel energy is the cheapest alternative for us right now. We need to use it to wisely and economically bridge to alternative energy sources and quit trying to jump the shark to get there too early.
What an upbeat article! Thank you. Yet I think it tells only half the story: there is no mentioning of the concept of the 2000 Watt society. The average US citizen uses 11000 Watt to maintain life. Many countries with similar standards of living use half as much. And the goal is to bring that consumption down to 2000 Watt (the present world average) within a time frame not much longer than that proposed in the article. What a powerful combination if we can work at both ends: production of WWS and consumption.

Boy, it's yellow in Tel Aviv.
T-29 hours until touchdown in Boise. :) See you all so soon!
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.John Steinbeck
Tomorrow is our last full day in Israel. We've already started packing and cleaning our room, and we're both so excited to come home!
Love to you all from abroad, and we'll see you stateside!
Today, I spent some time going around to places I had already been, but wanted to visit again before I left.
We (myself, and my good friends Ryan and Melanie) started out the day with Sambooki's, a 3-shekel (around 70 cents) pastry shop that also manages to make decent cappuccinos. We then went to the Western Wall, where we got caught in a pretty hard rain.
Sopping wet, we wove our way through the market to "The Brothers," a jewelry shop that we've come to love. We've made decent friends with the owners, so they always say hello and offer us tea and talk to us about the States and school and whatever else we want to talk about.
We laid our scarves out across the couches and sat and drank hot tea, and I bought a necklace that I absolutely love.
We then went to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (that's where I am in the picture above), where we stood in line to see the tomb (we'd all been to the Church before, but never gone in to see the tomb). There's some restoration work being done in the Greek Orthodox Chapel, so we didn't get to go in there, but we did wander around and look at the mosaics.
We then stopped by a tiny Arabic shop for mango and peach nectar. The woman behind the counter is always happy to see us. She told us that she "loves Americans" and offered to give us Arabic lessons….like she does every time we go into the shop.
As it was still raining and I was a little bit hungry, we ducked into "Jacob's Pizza" for a slice of famous Israeli pizza. I can't say that Israeli pizza is particularly fantastic, but it was nice to sit down. They were pumping Beethoven out through the sound system and they had Tom & Jerry's playing on the flatscreens on the wall.
All in all, it has been an absolutely fabulous day in Jerusalem.
But I am ready to come home.
4 days!
I'm sorry I've been so terrible at posting recently. I have had finals and papers and craziness happening here at the school, but guess what?
I am coming home in a little over a week, and I will see all your lovely faces. :)
Thanks for reading along with me, and I'll try to write something a little more reflective before I leave here.
Giving Thanks
For all the wonderful friends and family I have at home. If you're reading this (and if you're not reading this), I am grateful for you and so appreciative of your support and love.
We're having a Thanksgiving feast tonight on campus. There are turkeys and pies and we will all gorge ourselves like good Americans.
This Thanksgiving, I am also immensely grateful for the cease-fire that was negotiated between Israel and Gaza. Rest assured that I am safe and sound, and that this experience has been nothing if not interesting.
I have 2 weeks left in Israel. Today was my last class, and I've already taken one of my finals. I have 3 tests and a paper between me and the plane ride home.
After all my finals are over, I have 9 days to kill in the city. Rachael and I are planning on shopping and exploring the city a little bit, and maybe going to a few museums. I have had such an incredible time here, and I can't wait to get to share some of my experiences with you when I get home.
Soon, friends.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line, or check the Jerusalem Post (an Israeli newspaper) or Al Jazeera (an Arab news source).

Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7970 GHz £385
30th Sep 2012 | 08:30
Turns out AMD's HD 7970 GHz Edition was a shrinking violet
Did you buy shares in Apple in the 90s, which you've been holding onto? Did you manage to patent the spork, or invent a social media node that allows people to present their aspirational lifestyles in 140 characters or less?
We presume you've ticked off at least one of those, because this is the sharp end of the consumer GPU market, where prices are steep enough to make grown men weep.
Sapphire's version of the HD 7970 aims to push AMD's Graphics Core Next hardware to its very limits by boosting the core and memory clocks, and managing the excess heat with its top-of-the-line air cooling. It's not unreasonably pricier than the vanilla model, but does this Sapphire monster push the HD 7970 GHz Edition hard enough?
Like EVGA's Signature 2, its close competitor using Nvidia tech, the Vapor-X makes good on AMD's advancements in efficiency. The card powers itself up and down according to its workload, so boosting its clock values at full strain doesn't keep the fan whirring away or give you any heat-management nightmares.
Under load, the core clock boosts up by 200MHz, and when it's not in use, the factory values kick back in. When your machine's in standby the Vapor-X will power down to a negligible power usage and fan speed.
When considering efficiency, it looks like a dead, er, heat between EVGA and Sapphire's candidates for luxury GPU supremacy.
In gaming performance, Sapphire uses the GHz Edition's performance advantage over the GTX 680 to stretch its legs even further. We squeezed eight games through each card, each more unfeasibly demanding than a hungry toddler, and the Vapor-X was the clear winner.
It doesn't dominate across the board - there are moments at resolutions above 1080p in which EVGA's card prevails - but factoring in the effect drivers can have on each game, the Vapor-X's results offer about as much reassurance as possible that your - gulp - £400 is being well spent. It can even play Metro 2033 at max details at a vaguely playable 36fps at 1080p.
Realistically, the EVGA Signature 2's results were generally so close that you'd never notice a performance difference with the naked eye, but here in GPU fantasy land that isn't really the point. If you buy either card, you're likely to spend just as much time benchmarking and overclocking it as you do marvelling at its prowess.
DirectX 11 gaming performance
Shogun 2: FPS: Higher is better
DirectX 11 gaming performance
Batman: AC: FPS: Higher is better
DirectX 11 gaming performance
DiRT Showdown: FPS: Higher is better
If you have the cojones to push the card even further than Sapphire considers safe, its Vapor-X cooler will allow a modicum of further tampering. In fact the air coolers on both cards are exemplary in their low volume and high heat dispersal.
Sapphire's Trixxx software isn't as user-friendly as EVGA's Precision suite, but both allow tinkering with clock settings and boost ratios.
All told, this is a blinder of a card. It's not hugely relevant to most of us, but for just a little extra cash than AMD's fantastic reference GHz Edition, it pushes the HD 7970 architecture hard enough to impress enthusiasts. Fingers crossed for a price drop in the near future.

The Bulls and Heat squared off in Round 1 of what a lot of people (including me) project to be this season's Eastern Conference Finals.
Derrick Rose, after a very encouraging preseason, played in his first game regular-season game since April 2012. Rose looked very flat, especially his jump shot. Rose finished 4-15 from the floor with just 12 points, 4 assists and 5 turnovers. The Heat defense played a part in making Rose very uncomfortable with their ball pressure, that overwhelmed the former MVP and the entire team.
The Bulls led early in this game, mainly due to the Heat's inability to buy a bucket. The Bulls missed out on multiple opportunities to put Miami in a deeper hole. Once the Heat found their range, the Bulls had no answers as the Heat would go on a 31-5 run and led 54-33 at the half.
Miami attacked the Bulls with great ball movement that resulted in far too many good looks from beyond the arc, that I'm certain infuriated head coach Tom Thibodeau. Miami finished 11-20 from downtown.
The Heat received great bench contribution from Shane Battier, Norris Cole and Ray Allen; they combined for 36 points and shot 8-13 from three point range.
While it's easy to credit the Miami defense for disrupting the flow of the Bulls offense, the Bulls were careless with the ball and had 18 turnovers in the game. It was a performance the Bulls will want to forget. And it's that easy--it was only one game of an 82-game schedule.
Joakim Noah did start after it being reported that he was likely to miss the season opener with a groin injury. While he was out there and did record 11 rebounds, he didn't seem like himself in just 20 minutes of action. The biggest fear with a groin injury is returning too soon; something to definitely monitor going forward.
The two bright spots for Chicago was Carlos Boozer and Jimmy Butler. Boozer prevented the game from becoming a complete embarrassment for the first three quarters. Boozer was 13-18 from the floor and had a game-high 31 points. And after getting into early foul trouble that landed him on the bench for a good portion of the first half, Jimmy Butler exploded in the second half to finish with 20 points.
The Bulls trailed by as many as 25 in the third quarter, but as they say, everyone makes a run in the NBA. By the way, that isn't true. There are blow outs from start to finish. It always aggravates me when people say that you only need to watch the last five minutes of an NBA game.
I digress.
The Bulls cut the Heat lead to eight with 2:46 left in the game. However, Miami regrouped and hit key shots to stave off the comeback.
LeBron James finished with a rather pedestrian 17 points, yet managed to put his stamp on the game when things got interesting.
For two teams who loathe one another, it was a well behaved game, as neither team picked up a flagrant foul.
Just a few observations on the Bulls: Newly acquired Mike Dunleavy looked like a fish out of water in this game. He did play well in the 4th, but for three quarters he was missing in action.
The Bulls brought him in to provide a perimeter threat for when Rose drives and kicks. I hate to label all Duke players as soft (How funny is it that I hate Duke but am forced to root for three of them?), I just feel Dunleavy didn't look like he wanted any part of the physical play, and was late on several defensive rotations. Again, game 1 of 82, so we shall see.
Luol Deng was also in early foul and never seemed to get going offensively, finishing with a robust 4 points. Beating a dead horse alert: I know LeBron James is one of the best defenders in the league; it just bothers me when I watch Deng with zero aggression, not even looking for his shot.
The Bulls have dominated the Heat in the regular season the last several years. Perhaps if the Heat dominate this regular season, the Bulls may have better success against the Heat in the postseason. Just a theory.
Rose rusty in return as the Heat dominate the Bulls

James Stotts, Dru Lewis, Chris Bunn, Taylor Ostrick and I will be breaking down where we think each of Duke's NBA Draft prospects will go in the draft. The third and final player is Seth Curry.
Timberwolves: 2nd round 59th pick
Many doubt Seth Curry as an NBA draft prospect, but I see him as a huge fit with any team that needs shooting help. The Timberwolves fit that need perfectly, as they were the worst three point shooting team last season. That number was hurt by the lack of Kevin Love, nonetheless, they are still desperate for shooters. Seth Curry will be able to fill that shooting role for the Timberwolves. He will be able to stretch the floor for drivers Ricky Rubio and Andrei Kirilenko, and post men Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic. The Timberwolves will likely draft a starting caliber shooting guard (possibly CJ McCollum from Lehigh, I know not a Duke fan favorite), and Curry could be a role player to back up that starter. Minnesota is also a good fit for Curry because of Ricky Rubio's size, 6'4″. Ricky Rubio could play the point guard offensively, but could switch over to shooting guard to cover the taller offensive player. This is crucial for Curry, who is under sized at the shooting guard spot. Curry will be great shooting addition to any team he joins, but I see a great fit at the end of the second round with the Timberwolves.
Undrafted, signed by Bulls
I can't preach this one enough. Every team needs a guy like Seth Curry. He goes along a legendary family of shooters, like his father Dell Curry and his brother Steph Curry. Shooting is in Seth Curry's blood. But don't mistake Curry as a one-dimensional player. He is a guy that hustles hard and plays defense. Not to mention, Seth also has a very polished mid-range game, and he isn't afraid to become a slasher at times. With that said, I do not believe that Seth Curry will get drafted. He has had injury troubles in the past, which makes scouts wary (look at Nerlens Noel for example). But this doesn't mean that I don't think Curry will make a NBA squad. I think we would be a fantastic pickup for the Chicago Bulls. What's not to like? He may possibly play along two other Duke greats, in Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer. I think he would be a idea shooting guard to come off the bench. Not to mention, the shooting guard position is rather week in Chicago. He definitely has the potential to be a scorer for whichever team he lands on. I don't know if he has starting potential, but he could work his way to being a role player and landing in a team's rotation.
Mavericks: 2nd round 44th pick
Seth Curry embodies what it means to be a Duke basketball player. Even though he started his career under the radar at Liberty University, he became Duke's favorite son over the past three seasons. Even though he may be undersized at 6'1, 180lbs, Seth Curry is the brother of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who had an amazing NBA season this year, which may cause scouts to look at Seth a little closer. The obvious strength for Seth is his shooting, with the ability to shoot lights out at times. He's a project for any team that chooses to take him because he lacks the athleticism and size to be a good point guard in the NBA. The work ethic of Curry will help him though as he will do everything he can to make his game better in the NBA. There is a very good chance that you'll be hearing Seth's name in the 2nd round of the draft, and with a lack of shooters in recent years and the decline of Dirk Nowitzki, the Dallas Mavericks are primed to draft a shooter like Seth Curry. Outside of O.J. Mayo, the Mavericks are short on shooters and long in the tooth. A young shooter who can has the ability to finish at the rim and knock down the open jumper will go a long way for a team who has only gotten older after winning the championship in 2011.
Undrafted, signed by the Nets
Similar to Kelly, it is more likely Curry is passed on due to his age. However, it would be poor form to bet against him sticking to a team after summer ball. The knock on Curry is while he is a great scorer, he isn't a point guard, what his height limits him to. Therefore, I see Curry getting to camp with a team like Washington or Brooklyn, teams that would allow Seth to play the shooting guard offensively and the point guard defensively when paired with their bigger guards.
Taylor Ostrick from taylormadethoughts.com
Undrafted, signed by the Pacers
I do think Curry has the ability to play at the NBA level and have some success there. That said I do not think his journey to the NBA will begin through the draft, mostly because of physical limitations. Curry is only 6'2 which is small for an NBA shooting guard and doesn't have much length either. Add to that below average athleticism and quickness, Curry at a glance, does not look the part of an NBA guard. But despite the physical limitations Curry has one ability that I believe will be his golden ticket to making it in the NBA and that's his shooting ability. There is always a need for shooters at every level of basketball and especially in the pros. Curry is a knock down three point shooter that can come off the bench for a variety of teams and provide some immediate fire power from beyond the arc. He is a crafty, savvy and extremely intelligent player. He has also improved his ball handling and although he will probably never really be a point guard, it is a huge plus that he can handle the ball and create a bit off the dribble.

A way to success starts from small steps
Mykola Cherednik (22) tells about his experience in the project: "This year, I graduated with honors from Zhytomyr Military Institute named after S. Korolev, and my field of specialty is Electronic Systems and Complexes. Most of us know, however, how difficult for a graduate is to find a decent job. So, yet during my study at university I started participating in civic activities, and embarked on an educational project 'Free University'. In early 2013, I took part in a training program 'New Media in Action' run by a youth NGO 'Modern Format', and in 2013-2014, I became an active member of the other project 'School of Democratic Action' managed by this NGO. Also with the assistance of IDEA training center opened by NGO 'Modern Format', I attended training courses run in June 2014 within IDEA Project Powered by Microsoft YouthSpark, and a seminar 'IT School for NGOs', where I received information about CRM-systems and got some SkyDrive skills. Thanks to this knowledge, I was able to improve my information support to 'Free University', and establish effective communication with the project stakeholders through social networks and media. And most importantly, my active public position coupled with the skills I obtained, helped me get the position of Executive Director at a charitable organization 'Zhytomyr Community Fund', development of which is now my top priority."

Received a practical experience, skills and work in my profession
Halyna Andrusyshyn (23) from Ivano-Frankivsk tells about her experience in 'IDEA Project Powered by Microsoft YouthSpark': "Recently, I graduated from the Prykarpatsky National University in my city with a degree in Programming. Unfortunately, I did not have enough of practical experience, and I could not find a job in this field. However, actually by accident, in Internet I found information about a possibility of taking trainings in IDEA training center run by NGO 'Business Award Foundation' and other assistance provided by the IDEA Center to the unemployed and students. Soon, I contacted the IDEA Center and took training in using office software, and in computer security and safety. After this, I myself received a possibility to conduct trainings at this IDEA Center and train other project participants. Also, upon graduation from IDEA trainings, I was invited to develop Web-sites of an online furniture store partnering with our IDEA training center. This way, thanks to the project, I received a practical experience, skills and work in my profession."

"My first trainer experience"
The project trainings, along with many unemployed people, are attended by young volunteers participating in other activities of our NGO partners. After their take IDEA trainings, these young people gain additional skills and knowledge that helps them to become professionals themselves. For example, one of volunteers of Tokmak-based NGO "Ortega y Gasset" that joined IDEA network in 2014, Denys used to attend several trainings and this IDEA Center as a trainee. But in June 2014, after Denys participated at a seminar "IT school for NGOs" held by Microsoft Ukraine in Kyiv, he successfully started conducting IDEA trainings himself. Denys shared his experience of realizing this opportunity. He says: "Even though I took trainings at my IDEA Training Center and participated in the second" IT School for NGOs "at Microsoft, I was incredibly nervous during my first training. Its topic was "Windows 8 (Farewell XR!)" that I myself went through during "IT School for NGOs". Though I was prepared and confident that everything would according with my plan, this new experience of working with people and the presentation topic - all made me a little nervous. As a trainer, I must make sure that people who attended the training understand me, and I should be aware of their interest in my information. Fortunately, most of the audience was young, so I quickly found the approach to communication and understanding with my students. And, in a quiet mood, but with focused concentration, time flew by me unnoticed. Information about the modern style of Windows 8 came out of my mouth itself. I thought only about using my time efficiently to manage to present out the entire volume of materials that I have prepared. For the first time, the youth heard enough information, and I'm happy with my result, but I will not lie - I still have to learn a lot from my trainers. I felt immense relief at the end of the training, and realized that I really like this thing. I'm sure that this experience was my first but not the last training session, and I do not plan to stop at that."

Financial support from municipal government
NGO "Centre Podillya-Socium" actively partners with IDEA Project Powered by Microsoft YouthSpark and delivers computer training to youth, particularly disadvantaged young people. Recently, the organization won a grant at the 2014 social projects contest held by Vinnitsa City Council. The City supported its project proposal "Uniting Generations" which aims to improve the living standards of the elderly through the mastery of modern information technology. Assistance for older people in learning the basics of computer literacy during the project is going to be provided with a help from student volunteers. The main component of this success was that in February 2014, the organization received free Microsoft software licenses for 10 computers. Congratulations to "Centre Podillya-Socium" on this success!

The Best Toys
9 comments:
My two oldest boys have 11 years between them. They have fun together but I have heard that the best part of brotherhood will come as adults when the age won't matter any more and there will be more common things in life. We'll see...ReplyDelete
Soooooo cute! Goodness! I, too, love to see my boys interact. What's even more amazing is watching *all three of them* get along. No, it doesn't happen often. But it's so much fun when they do. It usually involves crawling up and down the hallway at top speeds. (:ReplyDelete
I can indeed, my boys were 5 years apart, and were good mates. cheers MarieReplyDelete
Where did you get those gears? I feel like indulging my inner child a bit more...ReplyDelete
My girls (8 years between) play beautiful together when the big girl is willing; I love hearing her read to the wee one and them giggling in the bath, or playing horsey, dancing or crawling through the enormous tube thing I got at ikea.
I don't enjoy the screaming when they pull each others hair, shoving and telling the other to 'go away' or the wails when the wee one bangs on the gate across her big sister's door because she wants to play in the doll's house too.
Ah well the good with the bad.
My sister is 6 years older than me and we didn't like (know) each other til I was in my very late teens...
I acquired this set when I returned a useless baby gift and had a store-credit http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/product/productDet.jsp;jsessionid=Ng0Rv71qvfv03DQGjL4sYJpTptQ36mHQw2QKHF1p1Jgl8hvRd1DG!-1881135542!1592308958?productItemID=1%2C689%2C949%2C371%2C917%2C534&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181113&bmUID=1306539249354 Here's the link for this set, but there are others available on Amazon.com Our set does not use batteries... it is cranked by hand... super-fun!ReplyDelete
Hmmm... that link I posted above for the gears looks dodgy. The set is called "Turn & Learn Magnetic Gears." They are from an educational supply store called Lakeshore Learning.ReplyDelete
I'm always surprised at how much my four year old plays with my 1 year old (yesterday!). They play lots of chasey, hide and seek and they wrestle together. Yes, the one year old is finally learning some moves to best his big sister. Watch this space!ReplyDelete
My girls are 6 years apart and now that one is a teenager and one isn't quite to double digits yet, they live in fairly separate worlds, but once in awhile, I'll find them doing something together and having fun. I try not to breathe then, so they won't notice me, and just let my heart sing!ReplyDelete
what a beautiful post and photo!!ReplyDelete

Just Plane Wrong, many writers just don't do the research when it comes to railways, locomotives and rolling stock. Easily, the number one mistake is showing a steam locomotive without a tender or bunker and tanks—which usually means that it doesn't have any fuel or water and therefore can't move. Other common departures from reality might involve a Runaway Train's safety systems failing without any justifiable reason, or the wrong kind of train or rolling stock for the script. But, hey, most viewers don't know or care what the proper train would look like. Cases of anachronistic locomotives and rolling stock are more forgiveable, for most of the same reasons given in sister tropes involving ships, aircraft or armoured vehicles. Sometimes there are simply no serviceable examples still in existence, or the surviving examples are stabled at preserved railway lines far from their original area of operation and are too expensive to transport, leaving the production team with a choice between this trope or California Doubling. Even when you manage to make locomotive and rolling stock match the period and the location, they're often in a livery from an earlier or later period of their service lifespan, and the owners may well be reluctant to have them repainted for filming.

Five NTC Observations and One Huge Pile of Links
April 14th, 2007 by Michael Gilbert
The newer backchannels at the Nonprofit Technology Conference pretty much fizzled in my opinion. The Gabbly chat rooms were empty. Twitter was talked about more than it was used. And I'm unsure whether texting had a conference-wide impact. But the older blog-like backchannels were alive and well. Several hundred posts and photos, along with a number of audio and video recordings, held up a mirror to the conference and brought it to a larger audience. What follows here are five of my favorite comments and one truly impressive compilation of annotated links.
Phil Klein expanded on a compelling vision of the nonprofit sector as a single organism:
To me, this event is where I can most clearly see that the nonprofit sector is a single vast enterprise, made up of a wide diversity of organizations and constituencies sharing from few to many common ideals, interlinked through network organizations and associations, common funders, communities of need, interest, commitment and geography, and most fundamentally, by communications technologies that facilitate the actions of citizens, the coordinations of efforts, the coallescence of brain power, the fueling of civic entrepreneurialism and innovation, and the day to day work of small teams loosely joined.
The best question that Deborah Elizabeth Finn asks is about how we find the people we want to meet with at a conference of this size:
The second challenge was in finding the people I wanted to talk to. There were any number of folks in this category – some of whom I had never met in person. It wasn't easy to locate them, even with the Twitter backchannel. My one real Twitter success was in putting out an APB for David Geilhufe; he actually showed up in my corner of the plenary session room within ten minutes of my expressing a desire to find him. In many other cases, I merely heard vague rumors that someone I longed to meet had been sighted.
Reflecting my own sense that the nonprofit technology community is still too anxiety driven to stray far from simple tech promotion, Michelle Murrain pushes the community beyond that with a bunch of great questions (the numbers are mine):
(1) Asking whether technology implementations in their organization in the past have really facilitated their mission? In what ways have they not? (2) Asking whether technology played a beneficiary, damaging or neutral role in internal organizational dynamics and staff morale? (3) Asking, before implementing a new technology – what problem is really attempting to be solved? is it a problem that can be solved in any other ways? (4) How does increasing use of networking technology, on-line presence, and internet communications facilitate or hinder work that is done face to face? (5) Making choices about technology not just based on cost/TCO or feature set – but to bring in issues of the effects on staff, organizational dynamics, and the role of factors such as organizational determination of data destiny, source and ownership of software, and environmental impact. (6) Being mediators between vendors and nonprofits – to look at issues that are technological, and issues that are about personality, behavior and organizational structure and dynamics (on both sides). (7) Looking at the bigger picture – how does what an organization does with technology affect the larger community, and the planet?
Michele Martin loves these questions too, and adds three of her own (again, the numbers are mine):
(8) If we select a technology solution, what organizational and managerial changes do we need to make in order to ensure that we achieve the objectives of the technology implementation? (9) How does this technology improve conditions for our primary customers? (10) In what ways does this technology support and facilitate human connection? Does it appropriately replace people-to-people interactions or does it make us more faceless and anonymous?
Shannon Turlington's write up of Dave Weinberger's keynote address is especially good reading for any of you who are stuck with Intranets that can't quite capture the knowledge that you know is out there in your organization:
Weinberger's address was about the power of the new web, which enables us to take back control of our world from broadcast media, restore its complexities and externalize meaning. Instead of being passive consumers, we are now active participants shaping the web into what we want it to be, and look at how knowledge sharing is exploding. If we want the same thing to happen inside our organizations, we have to give our people the right tools, make those tools easy for them to use and then get out of their way.
Finally, Beth Kanter displays her information packrat skills with a thorough annotation of almost ninety web pages that have been tagged recently as having to do with nonprofit technology. Many of these are specific to the 2007 NTC.

It's difficult to explain why the music of the Handsome Family is beautiful. Sure, it sounds beautiful, but it's a strange and spare sort of beautiful -- singer Brett Sparks' grave and stately voice makes lovely sense of Rennie Sparks' haunted, sometimes grisly lyrics. The guitars ring like bells; the vocal harmonies cut to the heart's quick. Sad freaks and drunks, tubercular Indians, murdered brides and lovestruck killers populate their songs. A girl is carried off by crows, kissed by a gravedigger's son. Crowds throw bricks and bottles at a milkman in love with the moon. Brother kills brother, and the dead roll their bones in the grass. In the Air (Carrot Top) is the fourth full-length from Mr. and Mrs. Sparks, the only members of this Chicago-based band. Aside from a few guest musicians (including violin genius Andrew Bird), they play all other instruments: "guitars, garbage can, autoharp, accordion, melodica, mandolin and whatever else was laying around," according to the liner notes. The Sparkses recorded everything themselves in their living room (on a Macintosh G3) and designed their own CD booklet. Before they embarked on a tour of the United States and Europe, they kindly agreed to a conversation with the RFT.
RFT: It's an interesting continuum -- you write the songs together, and then you record them together and pretty much self-produce.
Rennie Sparks: We're going to build a bio-sphere and live in it!
Brett Sparks: We do all the art for the CDs; we put up our own Web site. I think it's better to do it yourself. If you let someone else do it, they're going to fuck you. They'll take 80 percent of your money.
It seems like you guys have a pretty big fanbase in Europe. Do you think your European audience is different from your American one?
Brett: I think people just have a different cultural sensibility. We always get this stuff over here, "Oh, you're so morbid, you're so dark!" In England they just think it's dark humor, whatever. In Ireland, they just think it's about everyday life. It's just like folk tales or something. In Ireland, we'll play a show, and people will come up to the stage and start quoting you alternate versions of "The House Carpenter" and quoting poetry and stuff. These are guys who just look like normal Joes, you know? It's amazing, the cultural literacy that they have.
Do you think non-English-speaking audiences have a different relationship with your music?
Rennie: We get people from Holland writing these essays on our lyrics. I mean, if you're going to go to the effort of reading lyrics in another language, you get pretty intense about it, whereas Americans can hear them or not hear them while they're doing their dishes or something. I think maybe it's that some cultures are more into deep thinking than others.
Brett: The Germans especially. They'll come up to you after a show and say (adopts gruff Schwarzenegger accent): "I want to discuss this lyric with you!" They'll argue with you about anything -- things like "I do not like your new record! Your last record was much better. Go back in that direction."
All the articles about you start out by mentioning that you're a husband-and-wife band. Do you think it's relevant at all to your music?
Rennie: I think it makes it easier for us to work together. We can argue about songwriting, but it doesn't get really hurtful. We can take a break and be friends again. You can't walk out without a lot of packing and lawyers.
Brett: Yeah, there's at least one adversarial relationship going on in the average four-piece combo: the principal songwriter and somebody who's trying to become the principal songwriter.
How do you work as a songwriting team?
Rennie: I work on the lyrics first, and after they're done I give them to him, and I tell him how they should go musically, and he ignores me.
Brett: Pretty much. If I left it up to her, they'd all sound like "The Night Before Christmas." She was going through this period where everything had that 6/8 cadence.
Why is death such a persistent theme?
Rennie: Goddamn it, I don't know! It's not my fault; it's everywhere. It makes sense to me that if you're going to write about life, it's going to have death in it. To me, thinking about death makes life richer. I don't think it's a destructive thing, necessarily. I do think that's why some people are leery of us. They say, "Oh, your songs are so depressing! I'm afraid!" -- like they're afraid they're going to get stuck in a bad mood if they listen to them!
Brett (Mock terror): "I'm not going there! Give me the Lenny Kravitz album!"
Rennie: I guess I'm just kind of obsessed with opposites in a way -- little cuddly animals and big ferocious animals. Snow is beautiful and white and clean, but it's freezing, and it's horrible to be in. Everything is one thing and another thing. And the next thing you know, you're sitting on the couch with a pen, going "I want to write something!"

YoungHeart Manawatu
Team Wellington
ASB Premiership - Round 13
Memorial Park, Palmerston North
Sunday 11 March, 2012
Henry FA'ARODO 11'
Halftime: 0-2 Referee: Chris KERR Crowd: 150
by Staff Writer at Memorial Park
Team Wellington looked out of sorts in the opening twenty minutes but as the inevitable defensive mistakes associated with this YoungHeart Manawatu side eventually revealed themselves so too did the games turning point.
Solomon Islands international Henry Faarodo scored his first ASB Premiership goal for Wellington when he rounded goalkeeper Ben Wilkes on seven minutes to open the scoring.
Then Luke Rowe doubled the advantage twenty minutes later after a mistake by Ben Wilkes and the writing looked more or less on the wall for Stu Jacobs beleaguered team.
YoungHeart Manawatu continued to show glimpses of competitiveness but collapsed in the second half conceding four goals.
Dakota Lucas extended Wellingtons lead six minutes after the restart to make it 3-0 before team-
mate Patrick Fleming scored with a tidy finish inside the penalty area on 61 minutes.
Only moments before Flemings strike, Manawatu had a Seule Soromon goal chalked off for offside, typical of the luck that has neglected the Palmerston North-based outfit this season.
Louis Fenton named in the ASB Premiership Team of the Month for February nabbed his eighth of the campaign five minutes later to make it 5-0.
Despite the score line, goalkeeper Phil Imray was kept busy by YoungHeart Manawatu with Michael McKnight testing the custodian from distance.
Eager to give his bench a hit out, Wellington coach Matt Calcott threw Dominic Rowe into the mix and the substitute marked his cameo with the visitors sixth goal five minutes from the end.
Suele Soromon completed a miserable afternoon for YoungHeart Manawatu when he was sent off for a reckless challenge on 87 minutes.
Manawatu stalwart Nathan Cooksley lamented the score line but made few excuses for his teams performance.
He said: We were outplayed and made silly mistakes that caused silly goals. The score line flattered them but we only have ourselves to blame.
Team Wellington coach Matt Calcott delivered a cool assessment of his sides first half.
I was happy with second half but the first was a bit scratchy. Manawatu were competitive in the first 20 minutes and were very physical, Calcott said, But the second goal for us was a turning point and down to a goalkeeper error and that changed the feeling of the game. After that Team Wellington dictated the game and we looked like we wanted to play.
Team Wellington finish off their regular season with the White Ribbon cup final on April 1 before they complete their regular season duties in the ASB Premiership with a home game with Hawkes Bay United on April 8.
YoungHeart Manawatu finishes their season with an away trip to Fred Taylor Park in Whenuapai to take on Waitakere United.
With the West Aucklanders beaten by Canterbury United the Neil Emblen-coached outfit will now view the Round 14 fixture with the leagues easy beats without the casual attitude of an end of season stretch.
Manawatu look destined to finish the 2011-12 ASB Premiership season as the first to complete a regular season fixture list winless.
The previous worst season record was in 2005-06 season when Hawkes Bay United won one, drew two and lost 18 of their 21 regular season matches.

YoungHeart Manawatu are running out of chances to nab a first win of the season while Team Wellington are aiming high with third place still a realistic target. Matt Calcott's team will be eager not to slip up against opposition that has struggled throughout this campaign. Stranger things have happened in football. Join us back here at 2pm for the kick-off.

Not much else to say other than Wellington now must be looking at a shot at third place with news Waitakere are losing to Canterbury by 1-2. Intriguing situation.

I have a question about the recipe "Cider-Braised Corned Beef and Vegetables" from lighterandlocal. The first step calls for putting onions over the brisket. How much? Onions are not listed in the ingredient list.
AntoniaJames is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
I'd thinly slice (north-pole-to-south-pole) two medium onions, but one large one, or even two small ones, should work as well. You're just trying to get more flavor into the braising liquid and therefore into the meat itself. Sounds delish, by the way! ;o)
Well played.
