Jeez. If you didnt hate steam so much, it would probably work for you. Steam is alot better than the old system, but still has slight bugs. Every good thing takes time work, and cooperation. So dont be a **** about it, and just go with the flow.Ugh Im too damn brown for a sig.

The Spiritual Gift of Connecting People
Okay, so it probably isn't a spiritual gift, but I love connecting people to one another. And, from what I've been able to tell and from other people have told me, it is a kind of "gift" or talent that I have.
What do I mean by "connecting people"?
Well, when I meet someone for the first time and begin to get to know them, something happens in my brain. As the person tells me about himself or herself, I immediately start relating their interests, concerns, location, passions, etc. to other people with similar or complimentary interests, concerns, locations, passions, etc.
If I meet someone who is a mechanic, I'm immediately reminded of friends with car problems. When I'm first introduced to someone who lives in Franklinton, I think of people I know who live in or near that city. A new friend says that she likes to study Revelation, and I remember other friends who love prophecy and apocalyptic literature.
Of course, I'm not always able to connect people like this. Sometimes there are other issues that keep people apart, such as work schedules. In fact, I don't think it is my responsibility to make sure that people build relationships, but I do think it's good to introduce them to one another and point out the points of connection.
I've found that this has been a huge benefit in developing and building community. Pointing people to other with similar interests help them fit in with a group. Linking people who have the skills or means to those who have certain needs can help them serve each other.
Like I said, I don't know if this is a spiritual gift or not. Perhaps it is an offshoot of encouragement, or helps, or serving. But, I have seen how God has used this ability in the past, and I hope that he continues using me to connect people in the future.
Do you have the ability to connect people? Do you know someone else who does? How have you seen this ability work among the church? Can you see benefits outside the church?

I bet you could manage an awesome syncroblog.
What are you doing inside my head??? hahahahah
I don't know what to think of it. I know the heart of God is for people so I tend to think it is God given. The way it has blessed my life would also make it seem so.
Most of my adult experiences with community are not all wrapped up in church. I used to think everyone was like me but then I began to realize not everyone saw the connections I did or would take the step to pass it on.
I call myself a connector or a net worker. I saw it in my relationships to other women, moms and families. Being able to hear and see what people need enabled me to create thriving online communities. Further it shows me where the Church is failing to reach those who need the gospel.
I too love being a "connector"….connecting people, seeing a need and finding a way to fulfill it through connections, seeing the heart of a person and helping them fulfill their need, hope, dream, desire. Sometimes it's providing information through teaching…most often though it is hearing & seeing…and making a match. God tends to give nudges and it is so cool to see the delight when people are matched to what God has for them! I don't know if it's a "gift"…but it definitely is something!
OMG Alan!!
This is just what happens to me! I've been doing it for my whole life but I just realize about this "gift" last week and decided to search about it today!
It's so funny what happens, but it really moves something inside my brain!
I loved the word "connector" event "networker" to describe myself! We should do something all together since we are all connectors don't you think?
Big hug all over from Mexico City!

More about Jean Video - Jean's Funeral
Eulogy to Jean delivered by her grandson Adam Russell
A Life Well Lived
The Eulogy of Jean Spry
Jean Spry was born on the 4th March in 1911. She was the second born, her twin sister Isobelle (Toss) is older by fifteen minutes.
Jean was born to Alice and Stanly Collis (Col), a young couple who moved away from their family in Victoria to Sydney to start a new life.
There were six children, Isobelle, Jean, Valmae, Jack, Edward (Ted) and Dorothy. Val was fourteen months younger than the twins and Jack was thirteen months younger again. There was six years between the twins and Ted and fourteen years between them and Dot.
At five years of age Jean contracted polio, which was a life altering event. The disease left her left leg shorter and less developed. This was the source of her limp which in a way was also her trademark.
It was tough for her family as well. They moved to Annandale to be closer to the Children's Hospital but every morning before work, Stanley would walk to the ocean to get a bucket of saltwater because it was believed that bathing the leg in saltwater was curative.
One memory stood out from this time for Jean. It is the image in the children's Hospital of one little girl also with polio being wheeled into the hospital, so afflicted that her parents had attached her to a door and layed her out on it. The girl was obviously in intense pain. However, the five year old Jean did not see the pain in the eyes of the other girl, only that she had blonde hair, blue eyes, was dressed in blue and little curls like Shirley Temple. This was her personification of beauty and she dressed her children in this manner. It was said of her that her girls always looked "like dolls in a bandbox" and their look stemmed from that moment.
The young Jean recovered, a little weaker physically but much stronger mentally than before. She strived to be faster, stronger and better at anything she tried her hand at than anyone else. She struggled against the barriers of prejudice, e.g. her Uncle Charlie told her that she would never marry because of her leg. I think most people here know that if you told Jean she couldn't do something, she would strive all the harder.
She became very good at tennis, practicising four days a week to the point where she won the B+ grade competition in her area and moved to an A-. She was always proud of that achievement and with polio, it is quite an achievemment.
Her memories of those years were very fond, often it involved the inseperable gang of four, her, Toss, Val and Jack. She also made lifelong friends in Kath and Eileen, who she saw frequently until their passing a few years ago.
She enjoyed her young adult years. It was Jean who was the flirty one with the twinkle in her eye. This is probably best summed up by the fact that Isobel was given the key to the front door but it was Jean who was given the key to the back door.
About this time Jean was proposed to by a young gentleman by the name of Bobby Green. From all accounts, he was a bit of a looker, a great dancer and someone who could sing for an audience. She said no; her heart was to belong to another, a quiet man, not a good singer but with other qualities she felt were far more important. His name was Francis Owen.
Frank worked at Austral Brone in a foundry. When Jean looked over the factory and saw the hellish conditions he worked in, she concluded that he must have loved her very much to go through that.
Frank became her husband in 1939. Nine months later their first daughter Margarette was born. At this time the war intervened. Luckily Frank worked in a vital war industry making ammunition and was saved from the brutality of that conflict. In 1945 with the victory bells barely quiet, Jean was a mother again, this time to her second daughter, Frances.
In the West Chapel of Woronora Crematorium where the service was held
The people in attendance
About to leave for the graveside
Jean had found her place. Her family was her world. She raised two children, bought a house and even had a small win in the lottery!
Unfortunately in 1962, Frank was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Jean nursed her ailing husband for five years 'till his passing in 1967.
Soon afterward her mother Alice became ill and Jean then nursed her until she died six months after Frank.
One of the things her mother had suggested was that Jean join the Hurstville Diggers Bowling Club to meet new people. She did and began a long relationship with the club.
Her interest in photography was noted and she was soon designated the official photographer for the Hurstville Diggers Bowling Club. Another club member with an interest in photography was Sergeant Spry, an engineer with the Australian Army. William James Spry (Jim) began to get to know Jean and after a whirlwind romance they were married in 1970.
Jean and Jim travelled a lot in this period but her favourite destination was undoubtedly New Zealand. Jim had no children of his own and relished the chance to be included in a family. He was a fantastic grandfather!
Sadly Jim was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in 1980. Once again Jean nursed an ailing husband. Jim passed away in 1983.
Jean continued to bowl and was joined at her home by her daughter Frances and me.
At this time, Jean decided she needed to expand her mind and went to art class with her granddaughter Kathleen. She painted for five years at Oatley Park under a painting teacher.
Many people here have one of her paintings on your wall. Jean decided she needed a box for all her brushes and paints, so instead of simply buying one, she learnt carpentry and made one (actually a few more than one). Jean always kept herself busy with photography, painting, carpentry, bowls and other interests. During this time she also spent much time [with] her family, Toss, Val and Dot, Ted and Jack having passed earlier.
Also during this time she made many friends at the bowling club; Shirley and Alf, Bertie, Norma, Hazel and of course Ken. Ken has been a good friend of hers and the family for a very long time.
In 1998 she was diagnosed with a secondary skin cancer which meant she was not expected [to] live very long afterwards. Her reaction was typical of Jean; to fight it. That cancer was never heard of again.
While she has gone from this place, we know that she will indeed live on in us. We who are left behind, mourn the fact that one remarkable person has left us. I take comfort from the fact that she is herself again and that we will see her again soon.
Bye Nan

Katie Quigley got the gift of family history shortly after she and husband Steve were married.
The gift was the brainchild of her mother, Cathy Bell, of Egg Harbor Township, who compiled a cook book of favorite family recipes and gave it as a Christmas gift after her eldest daughter went off to start a family of her own.
"We had everyone copy their signature dishes, especially the ones that were favorites of the bride. We also included handwritten recipes from her great-grandmother. There are all manner of recipes, from Uncle Brian's "octopus hot dogs," her dads "loaf of meat", and Grandmom Swift's lemon bars, which are now one of Katie's specialities," said Bell.
Quigley said the gift was "amazing" and something she refers to frequently - both for the recipes and to just remember her roots.
"Every single page is from someone who is in my family or who I love dearly," the 30-year-old Egg Harbor Township woman said. "It's an amazing thing - there are recipes from my great-grandmother and grandfather. Some of the recipes in there were fun things, but then there were things that I remember from when I was growing up, my mom's stuffed peppers, my dad's meat loaf. Sometimes it's great just to look at them."
Family has long been a factor in cooking in Quigley's family.
Bell, 54, was raised in Egg Harbor Township by a single mother who had to work to support Bell and her four brothers. Carol Duberson worked as a repair supervisor for New Jersey Bell and later AT&T. That meant her parents, Russell and Catherine Swift, played a big role in helping to raise the family.
"My grandmother was a huge part of my life," Bell recalled. "She was one of my favorite people - she was very influential."
With Duberson at work, all her children had to help with the household duties - including preparing dinner.
"My older brother was the first who had to make dinner. As the rest of us got older, it kept going down the line until it hit me," Bell said.
Bell had learned to cook watching her grandmother in the kitchen.
"It just came from being there in the kitchen with her - I learned through osmosis," Bell said. Russell Swift was "a gentleman farmer," and the family ate well from the produce from his garden.
"There were always vegetables coming out of his garden. There were also a lot of sweet potatoes," Bell recalled. "They lived on the water, so there was always a lot of fish too,"
Her grandmother's meals were also accompanied by desserts - Catherine Swift was a great baker who produced cakes, cookies and pies. Her lemon meringue pie and lemon bars were two recipes Swift was particularly known for.
Bell enjoyed cooking for her family - and their friends.
"When we were kids we always travelled in packs. I made a lot of hamburgers and casseroles. Lots of noodles and spaghetti," she said.
Bell brought these comfort-food recipes with her when she and Keith Bell married. The couple own Bell Custom Cabinetry in Pleasantville and Cathy Bell worked in the shop while raising daughters Katie and Melissa.
"Being self-employed, it was a little easier for me than it was for my mother, but, as she got older, Katie kind of got stuck with the cooking thing," Bell said. Luckily, Bell's older daughter not only enjoyed cooking, she also had a knack for it.
"She's a fantastic cook. She really likes it," Bell said. "My other daughter is a good cook, but doesn't enjoy it as much."
Katie's love of cooking is what inspired Bell to put together the family cookbook as a special surprise.
Creating the book was a five month project. Bell wracked her mind and contacted as many people as she could think of to contribute recipes.
"I had them hand write the recipes - it just seemed more personal, more of a connection," she said. While creating the book, Bell also came across her grandmother's handwritten lemon bar recipe, which had been lost but was discovered in a shopping bag full of recipes she'd cut out of newspapers and magazines.
Bell used scrapbook pages to create the book, including photos and other mementoes with the recipes.
"It came out really cool - if I do say so myself. I was really impressed. It's the kind of thing that I would have liked to have had," Bell said. "I made just one copy of book, but I know Melissa is hoping that when she gets married, she gets one too."
Quigley cried with joy when she received the book, something she will frequently peruse
"I'm a sentimental person, so I look at the book and see their handwriting and think of them sitting at their tables and writing the recipes out, not knowing they will be passed down for generations," she said.
Quigley, now raising a girl and two boys, hopes to pass down the cookbook to her daughter, Lily, someday.
"I've already made the lemon bars with her and I hope to make many other meals with her," she said. "The book is special to me because it was made for me by my family, and it's something that they wanted to pass down. I want to continue to pass it down."

West Columbia mayor, councilman have shouting match
Thu, 21 Aug 2014 22:18:01 GMT —
WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH) - West Columbia Mayor Joe Owens called a news conference Thursday afternoon to respond to an independent investigation that alleges he abuses his power. The news conference almost didn't happen.
Owens engaged in a standoff with Councilman Tem Miles, a vocal critic of the mayor, before the news conference started. Owens said he didn't want Miles there. The councilman argued city hall was a public place and he had every right to be there.
After a shouting match during which the pair exchanged insults, Miles was eventually locked out of Owens' office, before he had police unlock the door.
Owens' attorney Chip Burn disputed many of the issues raised in an eight-page audit of West Columbia government put together by Columbia attorney Robert Bolchoz.
The report claims Owens created an "atmosphere of intimidation" and held special closed door meetings about police investigations and other issues. The audit also alleges Owens threatened people's jobs if they didn't go along with his agenda. However, there is no record he ever had anyone fired.
The bickering between Owens and members of council has increased in recent weeks ahead of a September 30 vote where residents will decide whether to change West Columbia's form of goverment to a strong mayor system. Such a change would shift considerable power to Owens' office.
Owens continues to maintain the accusations against him are nothing but a witch hunt commissioned by his political enemies.
Miles contends he is looking to improve how West Columbia operates for the good of the people.

Hollywood Hideaway: A Bright Family Home
March 19, 2014
We're only a few days into Spring Break here and I don't know about you but it feels like everyone and their dog is currently sitting on a hot sandy beach except for us. Boo hoo! But we've been filling our time visiting with friends (ones who aren't beachside either) and taking jaunts around the neighbourhood and local parks so I can't complain too much. We've got a two week break so I'll get more organized planning day trips next week but for now it's been pretty nice just to lounge around and enjoy some lazy mornings. I'm still craving sunshine and this light-filled Hollywood home is pretty much the ultimate antidote. The stunning photos are courtesy of Brittany Ambridge and you can see more shots of the entire home here. Home to fashion designer Chay Wike, this hillside retreat was recently featured in Domino Magazine and I immediately fell in love with the lofty beams, vintage touches and mix of materials used throughout:

Pretty special, isn't it? Built in 1933, Chay and her family did some minor renovations when they moved in but retained the home's original architecture and charm, including some imperfections (like the concrete kitchen floors, which I absolutely love). Surrounded by nature and overlooking the bright lights of Los Angeles, this home is a true gem. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Yeah, why not. I dig her - 5$
i like your raw style.

Good point lucyfarfort, I just did a sketch incorporating the legs. I think I'll finish it up and see what it looks like... funnily enough the boots she is wearing in the sketch is a def knock-off off the type of shoes Travis usually uses on his characters ;-)
yeah, you're funny. they're actually hair pins to stab your fucking throat out moron.

Dave Matthews' Concert For Charlottesville Was A Great Show, But What Did It Mean?
Lane Kenneth Arndt
Comments from Lane Kenneth Arndt
Any lists that has those Japandroids poseurs on it is a groaner, and an eye roller and not to be taken seriously! I have never been more insulted by the collegiate insularity of there inane and asinine garbage! I don't know how it got there but i found this album in my iTunes yesterday and immediately deleted it! A) write a good song; B) pick an original name: Japancakes anyone?; C) learn how to play/tune your instruments; D) learn how to drive a set beyond opening with howling feedback whilst standing upon the bass drum, it's all downhill from there gents; E) don't get Mt St Helens Vietnam Band to open for you when you suck, you're sure to be destroyed and live in infamy as the worst two-piece pseudo-band of all time! I know this makes me sound like an angry old hipster hater sitting in small town Idaho or some such, I assure you that's not the case, I just think that these guys are the least deserving of hype I've come across, save for all the other hipster crap that's just willfully bad and poorly played as a statement of inefficient musical sacrilege! Earl and Tyler for president!

Stereogum's Top 50 Albums Of 2012
yeah, that's just kind of one of those uncreative hipstery lame-ass comments that makes everyone stop laughing after all the really funny people have gotten their most-hated on the list! like they couldn't think of a band (I don't see 311 on the list btw!!) but they remembered there was this pitchfork thing that they've never visited and name-dropped out of desperation to join in the laugh track!

ATTN: Employees – Do Not Buy These Used CDs
kind of a Feist meets Everything But the Girl vibe here; I don't know if it's a love it today/indifferent tomorrow thing but it makes me wish i was driving down the coast off Big Sur with nowhere important to be, smoking a cigarette and feeling as relaxed as the mix sounds! good stuff!

Album Of The Week: Jessie Ware
The extremely unpopular thing that i have to say is that it's really hard to 'prove' that you're gay, just like it's hard to prove you're straight unless you're standing in a crowd and making out with your objet d'amour. people hang out in all kinds of different social situations in different ways; watch a bunch of Korean or Japanese kids (teens) and you'll see a lot more physical contact between same-sex friends and not much between opposite sex friends, doesn't mean they're all gay (or even bi- or confused). So the unpopular part is that as much as I love Frank Ocean (Pyramids!!!!) and the whole Odd Future collective (esp T the C!!) I feel like the profile-raising coming-out party/announcement was a little to close to the launch of the record! I'm seeing publicity stunt written all over this, even if he is a 2-3 on the Kinsey scale, it makes for verrrrrry good press to come out as the first black gay soul singing member of an inflammatorily sexist/homophobic hip-hop crew. And as long as he doesn't get caught on film no one ever has to really know who is paying attention to his dickbag! I think Stevie was in his own very careful (if confusing) way trying to say something similar, I think he was calling him on the publicity-generating disingenuity of it, and not criticizing homosexuality!

WHY? – "Sod In The Seed" Video
this is awesome! welcome back to the 19th century everybody, at time in which, if you wanted to hear music, you had to learn to fucking play it yourself(!) or get a friend to play it for you or hire a court musician or go out somewhere and appreciate the real living flesh and blood talent of human beings who put their time and heart and sweat and energy into learning how to play an instrument, not a fucking iPod! kudos to you Beck, I will definitely be buying this!!

wouldn't Blur have to have even 1(!) good song in order to start any kind of list that might fatuously deign to assume there might be 10? sorry to all the hipsters out there who might now at this very moment be plotting my demise!

Frank Ocean – "Pyramids"
the two pop culture imposters i hate the most! yes i just clicked on this to say so! to say that either of these 'artists' does anything other than try to cash in on some lukewarm contrivance of initial success is to bloat the conceit of fiction! haven't heard the song, don't need to and don't want to, but as i type this disparaging remark, it occurs to me that Coldplay and Rhianna sucking at being Coldplay and Rhianna is still probably better than that new Temper Trap really sucking at being Coldplay! hard to believe that the website that gave away that amazing Frank Ocean song would even flick a spasm in the direction of this mainstream auto-wanking!!

check the inside gate-fold (or back cover?) of Scorpions Lovedrive album for the real-est album/boob art.

this makes me really hopeful that my plan to spend a year listening only to music that is given away legally online through blogs and itunes et al is going to provide some killer listens! this song is fucking astounding! some of the hipest grooviest most A-list production i've heard since Bon Iver's live footage from Coachella! thanks Frank!

The standard theory of decision making under uncertainty advises the decision maker to form a statistical model linking outcomes to decisions and then to choose the optimal distribution of outcomes. This assumes that the decision maker trusts the model completely. But what should a decision maker do if the model cannot be trusted?
Lars Hansen and Thomas Sargent, two leading macroeconomists, push the field forward as they set about answering this question. They adapt robust control techniques and apply them to economics. By using this theory to let decision makers acknowledge misspecification in economic modeling, the authors develop applications to a variety of problems in dynamic macroeconomics.
Technical, rigorous, and self-contained, this book will be useful for macroeconomists who seek to improve the robustness of decision-making processes.
Lars Peter Hansen is the Homer J. Livingston Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. Thomas J. Sargent is professor of economics at New York University and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of The Conquest of American Inflation and the coauthor of The Big Problem of Small Change (both Princeton).
"The book is self-contained and rigorous and may be interesting not only for macroeconomists who seek to improve the robustness of decision making process but also for control engineers interested in different applications of their professional abilities."--A. Swierniak, Zentralblatt MATH
"Best policies can be evaluated, in theory at least, given an economy. But macroeconomists have only model economies at their disposal and necessarily these economies are abstractions. A concern then is that the model economy used to evaluate policy will provide poor guidance in practice. This leads to the search for policy that performs well for a broad class of economies. This is what robust control theory is all about. In this book, Hansen and Sargent greatly extend robust control theory to make it useful in the macro policy setting. This is a major contribution to macroeconomics."--Edward C. Prescott, Nobel Prize-winning economist
"The pathbreaking work of Hansen and Sargent extends macroeconomic theory beyond the Bayesian paradigm. They retain the analytical power of the classical mathematical models while adding to them the subtleties of an uncertain world. Using tools from robust control theory, they present a model in which an individual's probabilistic belief is subject to noise, or to uncertainty, and redo much of macroeconomic theory under this assumption."--Itzhak Gilboa, Tel Aviv University
"Hansen and Sargent were among the cadre of macroeconomists who challenged conventional (Keynesian) wisdom, and they are at it again, in a book that sparkles with ideas and analysis of fundamental problems in dynamic macroeconomics. The specific results reported here are, of course, interesting but this book is so much more: for young and ambitious economic theorists, this book is like the California gold fields in 1848."--David Kreps, Stanford University

Mississippi suspends former Utah guard Marshall Henderson indefinitely
killarney Lincoln Park, ILJuly 15, 2013 5:45 p.m.
Flawed memory - Emery "paused" for about 2 or 3 milliseconds before hitting the floor after getting smacked in the nose.
SlopJ30 St Louis, MOJuly 15, 2013 8:07 a.m.
"Haws has obviously spent a great deal of time watching The San Antonio Spurs over the years."
Wait; was than an attempt at an insult? It seems like it was, but it makes so little sense I'm having trouble getting my head around it.
As a Y fan, I hope its basketball players watch and attempt to emulate the play and cohesiveness of the most successful American professional sports franchise of the past 15 years.
GoRed WEST VALLEY CITY, UTJuly 13, 2013 4:11 p.m.
AZUTE1 and StGtoSLC,
The incident in question I believe you are referring to was the game in Provo where Henderson briefly lost his cool and took a mild swipe at BYU's Jackson Emery. The thing I remember most about this is that Emery paused for about 2 or 3 seconds, then did the most pathetic acting job I've ever seen, pretending to be hurt, then throwing his arms up and falling down. It was laughable.
StGtoSLC SALT LAKE CITY, UTJuly 12, 2013 4:30 p.m.
Owl and AZ, it wasn't Haws, it was Emery. And yes, it was a flop after a dumb reaction from Henderson.
AZUTE1 Mesa, AZJuly 12, 2013 1:33 a.m.
"Henderson's gone, but he was an embarrassment to Utah sports and should have been shown the door much earlier. Boylen was too desperate for talent. His run-in with Haws was a classic loss of Henderson's self control and exposure of his character deficit. He's talented, but his persona will probably cost him millions in lost income."
What was embarrassing, was watching Haws deliberately bait Henderson, then produce an Emmy Award performance in acting as if he were truly a victim....He topped it off by acting all incredulous about the whole situation! He clearly watches Spurs basketball often!
I guarantee, Haws/teammates lol about it off camera, knowing they pulled one over on the refs and "stuck it to Henderson", a True-Freshman merely one year removed from H.S. and a decent distance from home, whereas Haws being born/raised in the chuch in the vicinity was in a position to show this young/inexperienced/non-LDS kid from TX how the game should be played with integrity/good-sportsmanship! Oooooooops!
I haven't noticed the same out of Haws, personally, on the rare occasion I've watched him since returning from his mission.
AZUTE1 Mesa, AZJuly 11, 2013 8:05 p.m.

Henderson lasted 1 year, not 4....Earlier? For what transpired w/Haws?
Please....Was hardly significant, to begin with, but the fact is, Haws deliberately baited Henderson, then completed his unsportsmanlike behavior as he proceeded to put on an Emmy Award winning performance in deceptively making it something it clearly wasn't.
Trust me, Haws was laughing-out-loud, off camera, about how he "got over" on Henderson, make no mistake about it. Haws has obviously spent a great deal of time watching The San Antonio Spurs over the years.

May 2009 - As a high school senior, Henderson is arrested in Tarrant County, Texas trying to use $800 of counterfeit money to buy marijuana in two separate exchanges.
January 30, 2010 - Henderson throws punch against BYU's Jackson Emery and is ejected from the game. The fracas begins around the 1:13 mark.
February 1, 2010 - Henderson is suspended one game for the punch.
April 7, 2010 - Henderson announces he is leaving Utah after one season, saying coach Jim Boylen's "restrictions" do not fit with his "individualism".
June 2010 - Stemming from his 2009 arrest, state prosecutors charge Henderson with forgery by possession of a forged writing to wit, and he is put on two years of deferred adjudication probation.
February 1, 2012 - Henderson is sentenced to four months in jail for violating probation terms after testing positive for marijuana, alcohol and cocaine.
July 10, 2013 - Henderson is suspended indefinitely by Ole Miss for a violation of team rules. As CBSSports first reported, the suspension is related to failed drug tests.
Do you honestly expect anybody to believe that Henderson wasn't "using" while he was at Utah? What exactly was Marshall referring to when he mentioned Boylen's "restrictions"?

Not to mention, neither relates to 2-Star byu, to boot!
Duckhunter "fan" Centerville, UTJuly 11, 2013 7:12 p.m.
I guess a newspaper article is all that you need for "evidence". How exactly did Utah "tolerate" the behavior of Marshall Henderson? The same way that everybody "tolerated" Jim McMahon breaking the honor code for 4 years? At least Marshall Henderson was gone after 1 year. But I guess it's OK, because McMahon was really good. I just love being your #1 "fan"!
AZUTE1 Mesa, AZJuly 11, 2013 7:11 p.m.
"Nowhere does it mention henderson 'was no longer welcome to play with the basketball team.' So again I ask you to supply evidence to support your 'frantic and emotional' attempt to smear me."
This is routine rhetoric in what gets released w/in the media, yet doesn't even remotely scratch the surface of telling the entirety of the story! Even then, Henderson speaks solely in generalities! This short statement hardly speaks to the totality of what in fact actually took place behind the scenes!
Furthermore, Boylen never specifically references Henderson [other than reportedly confirming it off camera/microphone], but rather merely makes general statements [per what's contained w/in quotation-marks], then concludes it by talking about players [plural] leaving!
Finally, how do these details in any measure, whatsoever, give either school an advantage/disadvantage?
Duckhunter Highland, UTJuly 11, 2013 5:17 p.m.
I did supply evidence, it is right in my post. Article, paper, time, date, author.

StGtoSLC SALT LAKE CITY, UTJuly 11, 2013 4:06 p.m.
Duckhunter, if you are as intimate with college sports as you lead on to be, you're just being facetious and know as well as anyone else that what is put in the papers regarding transfers is a facade for what goes on behind closed doors of a team. Marshall even hinted at it in his version of an extremely bridled interview. If, as you say, Boylen's staff and the team tolerated his actions, why would he have any problems with the rules or their enforcement?
U 90 Corona, CAJuly 11, 2013 3:55 p.m.
Provide evidence that Marshall had done something wrong (i.e. broken the law, team rules) and Utah simply tolerated his behavior as your first post suggests.
Utah "fans" don't need to smear you, we let you smear yourself. Evidence please.
Duckhunter "fan" Centerville, UTJuly 11, 2013 3:13 p.m.
Marshall Henderson was a punk when he played at Utah, and he's worse now than he was then. Although I am a Utah graduate and have always been a big Utah fan, I never liked Marshall Henderson. He was the exception, though, not the rule for what Utah basketball has generally been. Andre Miller, Mike Doleac, Keith Van Horn, etc. were quite different from Marshall Henderson. Jim Boylen was not a great coach at Utah, but my understanding is that the decision for Marshall Henderson to leave was mutual.

Duckhunter Highland, UTJuly 11, 2013 1:42 p.m.
Here is the Dnews article dated Thursday April 8th 2010 by Dirk Facer titled
"Utah Utes basketball: Marshall Henderson indeed leaving the program"
Here are the quotes from it and if you want to read it in its entirety you can google it or look it up using the dnews search function.
"My decision to leave Utah is not related to basketball. I want to be closer to home," Henderson said in a prepared statement. "Coach (Jim) Boylen's program also has certain rules and restrictions that I respect, but I don't feel they fit with my individualism. This is not about the coaches, the system or the players."
""Every situation has been a little different, and at least one was based on personal reasons outside of basketball," Boylen said in confirming Henderson's departure. "But I understand how difficult it has been on our fans that some players have left the team."
Nowhere does it mention henderson "was no longer welcome to play with the basketball team." So again I ask you to supply evidence to support your "frantic and emotional" attempt to smear me.
Duckhunter Highland, UTJuly 11, 2013 1:32 p.m.
Do you know what it does to your credibility when you make claims like you just did with absolutely nothing to back up your claim?
Please post us the name, date, and time of the article we can all go read that say's henderson was "was no longer welcome to play with the basketball team."
If you can do that then I will rescind my comment. I'm betting you cannot. What you want is to make your own claim, with nothing whatsoever to back it up, in a "frantic and emotional" attempt to try to cast the abysmal utah basketball program in a good light. In order to do it you attempted to lamely use the tactic of trying to cast doubt on someone elses crediblity while providing no evidence to the contrary.

Utah handled the Henderson situation with class and wanted him to get the help he needed. But make no mistake, he was no longer welcome to play with the basketball team.
StGtoSLC SALT LAKE CITY, UTJuly 11, 2013 9:45 a.m.
He left Utah "because he wanted to," just like nearly every player from Utah's 2012 team did, because he would've been finding his own way to pay for school if he hadn't. He was cancerous to that team, and needed institutional therapy and counseling that being on a basketball team can't provide. Ole Miss had no business touching him without at least a year of clean life, but I suspect unless he messes up while suspended that he'll be back by their season opener. Sad to see happen, but far from surprising.

Here is a chance for the school to show if their "high standards" apply equally to all students, or if someone who can throw a ball in some silly game gets their numerous repeated transgressions overlooked.
The almost universally preferential and deferential treatment for student athletes encourages thuggish behavior which now seems to be an epidemic in the professional sports world.
Kudos to BYU and Utah for their bucking the trend and not tolerating this sort of behavior.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 2014/11/25 - Global Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics software vendor, Yellowfin has been named as a Leader in Nucleus Researchs latest Technology Value Matrix for Business Intelligence and Analytics (Second Half 2014) - NucleusResearch.com / YellowfinBI.com.
The report evaluated the worlds foremost BI vendors regarding their usability and functionality the two factors that Nucleus Research has found indicate an applications ability to deliver initial Return on Investment (ROI) and maximum value over time.
The Nucleus Research Value Matrix is split into four quadrants: Leaders, Experts, Facilitators and Core Providers. Yellowfin was placed in the Leaders quadrant, with the report stating that Vendors in the Leaders quadrant have invested in both functionality and usability features likely to deliver the greatest potential returns.
Yellowfins combination of a Collaborative BI platform, strong in-application BI presentation capabilities, data visualization, proactive alerts, and decision-making capabilities, provides a simple, easy to use BI solution on a platform that is 100% Web-based, and a view that is a single version of the truth, read the report. As more and more organizations are looking for greater ROI, reduced IT reliance and greater user productivity, Yellowfins focus on keeping the user interface and presentation layer simple and easy to use, has allowed it to compete on multiple layers for enterprise, departmental, or embedded BI deployments.
Principal Analyst for BI and analytics at Nucleus Research, Nina Sandy, said research indicated that Yellowfins easy to understand user interface, flexibility, self-service discovery and ease of deployment were key factors behind the success they have seen in their deployments.
Sandy also cited Yellowfins multi platform and device independent support for Mobile BI, all-inclusive licensing model and Governed Data Discovery capabilities as strong advantages.
Yellowfin offers key administrative, management, and advanced data analysis and exploration functions necessary for enterprise-wide deployments, said Sandy. Each license is also all-inclusive there are no separate charges to utilize Yellowfins location analytics, collaborative capabilities, or native apps for iPad, iPhone and HTML 5 app for Android devices.
Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said moving into the Leaders quadrant of Nucleus Researchs Value Matrix was an indication of Yellowfins willingness to innovate and its clear strategic direction.
Yellowfins mission to make pervasive reporting and analytics deployments a reality has seen us deliver more industry firsts in 2014, aimed at making the benefits of BI broadly accessible, said Rabie. Yellowfin GeoPacks launched in August this year and free to download from the Yellowfin Marketplace on the Yellowfin website contain demographic, geometry and GIS data. As a result, organizations can now quickly combine location-relevant information with their own business data, without having to independently source that third-party information, to generate deeper location-based insight.
Within each of its half-yearly Value Matrix reports, Nucleus Research projects 6-month trends for each vendor. Nucleus Research predicted Yellowfin would move further into the Leader quadrant up, and to the right in the next version of the report (First Half 2015), due out in June 2015.

Jason Priestley is no doubt reviving fans' love for "90210" with the publication of his memoir. And, should a reunion offer ever come about, Jason might consider it.
"Look, you know I love all those guys," Jason told Access Hollywood in New York as he prepared to sign copies of his book, "Jason Priestley: A Memoir," on Tuesday. "And we're all friendly with each other and we all have the utmost respect and admiration for each other and we all spend a lot of time together. And, I mean, if the right project came to all of us, I'm sure we would all do it because we're all friends with each other, so sure."
The "90210" alum's book is quickly making headlines for a passage that seemed to suggest he was upset when he saw that his former co-star, Tori Spelling, had sold his wedding invitation at a yard sale several years ago. Setting the record straight with Access, Jason said he wasn't taking aim at Tori, but rather wrote the passage in his book to explain how he felt about seeing the invitation to his nuptials on the local news.
WATCH: Jason Priestley Shares His Feelings On Tori Spelling
"I don't judge Tori for what she did," Jason explained. "I sent Tori that invitation and she can do with it what she wants. All I said in the book is how that made me feel.
"I know there were a lot of salacious headlines about you know, 'Priestley lashes out at Tori!' I would never lash out at Tori for that," Jason continued. "I don't judge Tori for what she did. All I did was comment on what I saw and then how it made me feel."

So how did it make him feel?
"Tori's a big girl and she can do whatever she wants. Of course, to me, she'll always be a kid because she was 17 years old when I met her, so when I talk about her I say, 'Oh, she's a kid. She's a sweet kid, and I loved that kid,'" Jason explained.
Another headline stemming from Jason's memoir is about the superstar houseguest he had when he was a young, up and coming star, who was splitting his time between Vancouver and Los Angeles as he tried to establish himself as an actor. Upon returning to LA from one of his trips, Jason found he had a young Brad Pitt sleeping in his room.
"I would just, you know, pay my rent and then go back to Vancouver and then come back," Jason explained. "One of the times I came back from Vancouver…. there was a guy sleeping in my bed and I said to [my roommate] Bernie [Coulson], I said, 'Bernie, who's that guy sleeping in my bed?' And he said, 'Oh yeah, that's Brad, man. Yeah he's great. You're really gonna like him, man. He's super cool.' And that Brad guy was Brad Pitt and we all ended up living in that two bedroom crappy apartment of ours for a while."

Cake Beauty Cake Kiss Cream Reviews
Wow that smells goodI have this in both scents; I much prefer the caramel one to the berry one. But both smell divine. I think they work pretty well too as a lip gloss. They have a smooth, silky feel on your lips. I didn't think that it stayed on too well. But you get a fair about for about ten dollars. They absolutely add zero color. They look like they would give some color, but they are pretty much clear. — 9 years, 2 months ago51lincoln | 105 reviews

California's high-speed rail project pulls into Silicon Valley tonight. That's where lawmakers, experts and future passengers will get their chance to weigh in on the $98 billion bullet train proposal.
Three state senators have booked a 600-seat auditorium in Mountain View in anticipation of a big turnout. About 100 supporters of high-speed rail — labor leaders who like the jobs it could generate — have said they'll rally before the meeting.
The Rail Authority's new chair, Dan Richard, is expected to kick off the hearing with a sneak peak of the final business plan for the bullet train. It's due out within three weeks.
Critics will also testify, like former Caltrans Chief Will Kempton. He heads a rail peer review group, and he wants lawmakers to refuse a request for nearly $3 billion in bond funds to pay for the first leg of the bullet train network.
Also on the docket: economists from the Legislative Analyst's Office who'll explain why they think California should slow down rail and find a better way to pay for it.
Then, the public will get their chance — and the hearing could go well past midnight.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2010/03/30 - ReportBuyer.com, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report.
The databook report Beer, Cider and FABs in Italy to 2013 Databook provides key data and information on the beer, cider and FABs market in Italy. This report is a comprehensive resource for market, category and segment level data including value, volume, distribution share and company & brand share. This report also provides expenditure and consumption data for the historic and forecast periods.
According to the 117 page report, the market for beer, cider and FABs in Italy increased at a compound annual growth rate of 2.1% between 2003 and 2008.The beer category led the beer, cider and FABs market in Italy, accounting for a share of 97.3%. Leading players in Italian beer, cider and FABs market include Heineken N.V., SABMiller and Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Alcohol sales growth is suffering from the affects of the global downturn, but longer term trends such as moderation for health or expenditure reasons are well established threats. The shift towards premiumization and a higher value/lower volume consumption pattern is set to continue but has lost momentum and is not forestalling the sales decline.
Health is one of the most significant trends influencing CPG brands in the present. Although not always an obvious fit, the beer industry is now learning to adapt and meet consumers' health concerns and wellness needs with products that are credibly perceived as better for consumers than standard products.
Price and value-for-money are growing as influencing factors in what drinkers consume, where they consume and in what volume. The negative economic backdrop has clearly been a major motivator in this, and has further favoured the off-trade over the on-trade.

Tue, Aug 04, 2015, 03:22 PM
Andhra Pradesh MPs have been constantly pressurising the Centre in Lok Sabha demanding for its Special Status. They said that AP is under severe financial crisis and Centre must grant Special Status, so that financial crisis can be overcomed. YSRCP MP Mekapati in the Lok Sabha said that AP cannot develop if it is denied Special Status as the state government has no capital, no Secretariat , no Assembly. It has to start from scratch, MP Mekapati added.

New Delhi: A bill seeking to prohibit employment of individuals as manual scavengers by prescribing stringent punishment, including imprisonment up to five years, for those employing such labour was passed by Parliament today.
The bill has provisions for rehabilitation of manual scavengers and their family members as well.
It has a wider scope for higher penalties than the 1993 Act. Offences under the Bill shall be cognisable and non-bailable and may be tried summarily. The penalty could be up to five years imprisonment.
The bill, which got a strong push from Congress President Sonia Gandhi, seeks to wipe out this "social stigma" by arranging for alternative jobs and providing other provisions to those employed for such work and their families. It received an unanimous approval of Rajya Sabha today.
Lok Sabha had passed the bill yesterday.
Moving the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill, 2013 in the Rajya Sabha, Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Kumari Selja said the new bill had to be brought in as the earlier Act did not prove very effective.
She said the "main inspiration" behind the bill to remove the "dehunamising practice" is Sonia Gandhi, who "actively pursued" this.
The was introduced in Lok Sabha in September 2012 by then Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment Mukul Wasnik.
The bill was thereafter referred to the Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment, under the Chairmanship of Dara Singh Chauhan.
The existing laws are not stringent and prove inadequate in elimination of the evils of manual scavenging and unsanitary latrines. Hence there was a need for a new law, he said.

В золотую эпоху Голливуда Лос-Анджелес предлагал идеальные места для отдыха после долгих и трудных съемок в студиях по соседству. Как и сейчас, это были места, в которых было на что посмотреть и где себя показать. Уникальная коллекция пестрит фотографиями начиная с эры немого кино и таких легенд, как Эстель Тейлор и Пола Негри, и заканчивая актрисами конца 1970-х Бо Дерек и Дайан Китон.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi Ms. G! I'll be glad to be of help with this issue.
I can imagine how frustrating this situation must be for you. You are clearly a normal and loving person. And secrecy for normal people is a sign that something is not quite right. It makes us uncomfortable, as if either the person is ashamed of us or the person is hiding something or the person is maintaining a separate life.
And this is actually the key to my answer to you that you need to consider and think about. This last possibility is the one we're really discussing here: he's maintaining a separate life from the one you two have. He is still attached to his ex.
You may be right in your guess. I call it your guess because you haven't actually voiced it, so let me: it could be that he is maintaining the ties with his ex to keep her thinking he's still in relationship with her for the sake of his daughter. Your question of why he would not want to tell his ex is fair here. Most often it's because he still has some attachment to the ex and she to him.
You (and I) are hoping that indeed that attachment is only his daughter. Because when she does graduate, then that would theoretically remove that tie. So you are looking at a minimum of 2 years before any change. But this is just a minimum.
He may balk at disturbing his daughter's start of college, then her academic stability, then other things. There's no way of knowing. This is the risk you are taking here. That his attachment to the ex is only because of the daughter. So, I need you to assess if you are willing to take that risk, with a minimum of 2 years of staying the way it is.
Okay, I wish you the very best!
My goal is for you to feel like you've gotten Great Service from me and the site. If we need to continue the discussion for that to happen, then please feel free to reply and we'll continue working on this. If the answer has given you the help you need, please remember to give a rating of 5 (Great Service) or 4 (Informative and helpful), or even 3 (Got the job done) button. This will make sure that I am credited for the answer and you are not charged anything more than the deposit you already made by pressing any of these buttons. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue now or in the future, just put "For Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, XXXXX XXXXX
Thank you for the information and I will assess all of it. At my age I do not have a great deal of relationship options & we have a lot in common and this is why I'm comfortable in my current relationship. But he told me once that he hasn't had time for strangers to date, but to me that doesn't mean he doesn't have time for his ex & the only way he will let go is if she starts dating someone. I have dated a couple of people since I've been with him but nothing happened and no one will measure up to his kindness. But now I have some heavy decisions to make for myself & I thank you for giving me something to think about.
's. G.
I understand about the difficulties of being a single adult, especially female. I've worked in therapy with enough adults that I'm not going to pretend you're not right. You are right. And that's why I couched everything I said in those terms of accepting him as he is: so that you don't wind up hurt and disappointed.
As I said, I can't pretend that finding Mr. Right is easy and sometimes it's not even pleasant. Kindness is sometimes a trait that's hard to spot, and I often try to focus people on making sure that they are looking for "normal". Because even finding someone who's normal can be difficult.
But, I am a hopeful person and I encourage others to be hopeful. That doesn't mean striking out on your own necessarily. Please don't think so. But I'm going to focus on the goals, strategies, and plans you need to work on in this area in case you decide that you want to keep searching.
Now for your life. Why do I say your life? Because you are not going to find Mr. Right by just looking for "a guy". You've got to treat finding Mr. Right as part of living YOUR life. You are clearly a woman with values. You are looking for a human being who wants to share his life with you and who values who you are.
That's why we're going to focus on goals, strategies, and plans. I want you to take a sheet of paper or on the computer if you prefer and on that paper write your Healthy Relationship Goals. Examples: make 3 close friends in the next 3 months; or go on dates with interesting men at least 4 times in the next 3 months, etc. So you see they don't need to even be goals for just relationships with men, but can be social relationships. Because the more social you are, the more you build your ability to express yourself socially instead of just career wise, the more you will feel comfortable expressing yourself to Mr. Right on a date. You need to feel comfortable sharing your inner self with other people on lots of different levels: acquaintances, friends, confidantes, and dates.
Next, I need you to take another sheet or underneath the goals in the same sheet write Strategies for my Healthy Relationship Goals. For each of the Goals, I want you to write strategies. For example, if your goal is to go out 4 times in 3 months, strategies might be: I want to identify the type of interests men you'd be interested in would have. Then I want to ask yourself where would they go to fulfill those interests. For example, if an interesting man needs to be someone who is into fitness, then he would be a member of a fitness club. If he needs to like art, then he would be a member of the Art Museum and go to gallery openings. If he needs to be spiritually oriented, then he might need to be attending church or a meditation class.
Then, you need to write on a separate piece of paper or underneath each Goal and Strategy: Plans for how to succeed with your strategies. So to continue the example above, you might write: my plan is to go to the 6 most popular fitness studios and check them out to see what their membership looks like and what kind of activities are there. Or for art, I plan to join the Art Museum and to go to an art opening at a gallery at least twice per month and maybe 3 times. Or if you are interested in religion, checking out 3 congregations for active ones that have social events.
These are examples of strategies and plans. I'm trying to focus you on your life interests. What do you want to do to further your having a meaningful life? Remember, Mr. Right needs to fit into what's meaningful to you, so look for him in activities that bring out what's meaningful in your life.
Dr. Mark

Cape Town - The City of Cape Town has called for public comment on its draft social development strategy, an official said on Friday.
Mayor Patricia de Lille's spokesman, Solly Malatsi, said the strategy addressed poverty, inequality, and other social ills.
It also encouraged people to take part in their own development.
"The strategy outlines what the city is doing, plans to do, and shows where partners, such as businesses, communities, and civil society, can contribute," Malatsi said.
The strategy had five objectives - to maximise income-generating opportunities for those at risk of exclusion; promote community safety; increase access to infrastructure and services for the vulnerable; foster social integration; and mobilise resources for social development.
Citizens, civil society, and other parties could visit their nearest library, sub-council office, or go to the city's website, to offer input.

PPP's newest Massachusetts poll finds Elizabeth Warren leading Scott Brown 46-41.
Brown is not proving to be an overwhelmingly popular Senator. 45% of voters approve of the job he's doing to 42% who disapprove. That's actually up a little bit from a 44/45 spread on our last poll in September. Republicans love him, giving him an 80/7 approval spread. But his appeal to Democrats and independents is not what it once was. At the end of his first year in office Brown was nearly running even with Democrats, with 35% approving of him to 41% who disapproved. Now he's at 23/63 across party lines. And although he remains popular with independents at 53/34, it's not the 61/25 rating he enjoyed with them at the end of 2010.
In the head to head with Warren, Brown has the GOP base completely locked up 89-3. And the 17% of Democrats he's winning is comparable to the 19% we found him getting against Martha Coakley in 2010. But he's only up 48-36 with independents, a far cry from his 64-32 advantage with them against Coakley, and that's the main reason he trails by this narrow margin.
Warren is reclaiming the middle from Brown. We find her up 42-40 with moderate voters, a group that we found Brown leading Coakley 55-41 with. She's also inspiring a lot of enthusiasm from young people. 56% rate her favorably to 27% with an unfavorable view, and she leads Brown 56-29 with them.
Voters are more comfortable with Warren ideologically than they are with Brown. 51% say that her views are 'about right,' compared to 44% for the incumbent. She's probably also benefiting from the fact that 54% of Massachusetts voters think the Republican Party is too conservative, compared to only 41% who think the Democratic Party is too liberal. Although only 35% of voters think Brown himself is too conservative, the bad image of his national party has to be rubbing off on him at least some.
One other note: Republicans love to label Warren as a Harvard professor, seemingly thinking voters perceive that as a negative. We polled Harvard's image on this poll and 57% of Massachusetts voters see it favorably to 19% with an unfavorable opinion. Republicans are split on it (37/38), but Democrats (72/9) and independents (50/22) both see it quite positively. Not sure that's an effective strategy...

Browns may not recoup Stallworth's signing bonus
Published: March 23rd, 2009 | Tags: Cleveland Browns, Donte' Stallworth
The Browns may not be able to recoup any of the signing bonus given to WR Donte' Stallworth the day before the car he was driving struck and killed a pedestrian in Miami, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
- Recouping bonus money from players was made tougher for teams when the CBA was extended in 2006. Teams were limited to recouping only the pro-rated portions of a signing bonus if a player breached his contract by being suspended or committing a crime.
- "We lost all that stuff (in the extension)," one of the sources said.
- Correcting that huge oversight is just one reason the owners opted out of the CBA, setting up a future labor fight.
- Based on precedent, the Browns would be entitled to a pro-rated portion of Stallworth's original signing bonus if legal issues prevented him from playing in 2009, or beyond. That would amount to about $905,000 a year.
