EARLY morning traffic ground to a halt in Swindon yesterday after a runaway horse led to a five-vehicle smash on the M4 motorway, which had a knock-on effect in the town.
The collision occurred at approximately 4.45am on the section of motorway by Membury Services, when a van was forced to swerve in an attempt to avoid the animal, which had bolted across the road.
The manoeuvre resulted in four other vehicles colliding with each other and the horse, which was struck a number of times by different vehicles was killed.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the incident and treated two people for minor injuries. The driver of the van which started the chain reaction was freed from his vehicle by firefighters and sent to hospital with minor injuries.
At 5.40am the Highways Agency was advising a 15-minute delay for drivers, as they were diverted through the service area.
But from 6.45am, when rush hour hit, delays increased as more traffic poured onto the eastbound carriageway between Junctions 14 and 15. This delay remained in place until 11am, when the Highways Agency declared the road open, with residual delays slowly fading away.
The accident caused major delays on the A419 at Swindon, with traffic queueing from Blunsdon to junction 15 of the motorway.
Thames Valley Police have said they are investigating how the horse came to access the road.
Shortly before 9am yesterday, a spokesman said: "At about 4.45am, police received reports that there was a horse loose on the carriageway and a number of vehicles had collided with it.
"One vehicle, a white van, overturned at the scene and the driver needed to be released from the vehicle by the fire service. He has been taken to hospital for treatment. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening. "The horse was killed in the collision. No-one else was injured."
It wasn't the only collision causing traffic chaos around the town yesterday morning.
At 7.20am, emergency services were called to the junction between Mine Way and Highworth Road after a Renault Clio and a Mercedes crashed. Both drivers were taken to the Great Western Hospital with minor injuries.
And at 7.45am, a crash occurred at Mannington Roundabout on the Great Western Way between a lorry and a Ford Fiesta. The car was pushed to the lay-by while awaiting recovery but police officers reported issues with drivers attempting u-turns on the road following the incident. The road was reopened by 8.50am but there were heavy tailbacks in the area during the morning rush hour.
A Highways Agency spokesman said: "This morning's incident on the M4 is sad proof that animals loose on the motorway are a real threat to road safety.
"We do all we can to prevent animals from getting onto the motorway, and our traffic officers are trained to resolve any instances when they do as quickly and safely as possible. "We'd like to take this opportunity to remind landowners to ensure their animal containment measures are adequate, and our advice to drivers is that, following any breakdown or collision, any animals with you should remain in the vehicle.
"The circumstances of this morning's incident are being investigated by the police – we can confirm though that the highway boundary fence along this section of the M4 is in a good state of repair, having been replaced last year."

The press conference room at the Motegi circuit was a busy place on Thursday. The assembled press filed in twice during the afternoon, once to hear the head of Dorna talk about the long-term future of both motorcycle racing world championship series, and then again to hear five world champions talk about this weekend's racing. There was much to digest.
What Carmelo Ezpeleta had to say about Dorna's takeover of the World Superbike series has been covered elsewhere, though the irony of Ezpeleta hosting a press conference to talk about what was essentially an end run around HRC's threats of a withdrawal at a facility owned and operated by Honda was not lost on everyone. The significance of the occasion was clear to all, and the groundwork has been laid for the future of both WSBK and MotoGP, though many fear the outcome.
An hour later, a much lighter mood prevailed when the riders filed in for the usual pre-event press conference. The long term was forgotten for a while, as everyone concentrated on two items: the return of Casey Stoner, and the impact of the Australian's return on the championship. Will Stoner help Dani Pedrosa in his battle with Jorge Lorenzo for the 2012 MotoGP title? And is he fit enough and fast enough to be able to help if he wanted to?

7 Benefits Of Thinking About Web Hosting
24 Dec 2015
Lots of folks are not paying attention to webhosting simply because they think that they can easily find hosting corporations to offer what they really want. They're paying more awareness on the design and growth of their internet website and the things that they have to do afterwards.
Well, without hosting services, your internet web site will not really appear to your target audience. Even though you will find a lot of hosting suppliers out there, you can't make certain that they will present the services that you need.
To inquire about extra information about hosting click through here.
You must know the importance of internet hosting before you dismiss it. Here are a few of the facts that you desire to comprehend.
Hosting allows your web website to be seen on the net so although you may spend lots of developing and designing your website, it will not be seen by the target audience with out a hosting. This is already an essential reason to concentrate on this.
It is factual that there are tons of hosting web sites on the net, but most of them have different rates as well. If you will simply pick the first hosting firm that you'll see, you won't have an opportunity to pick the best one.
You have to be careful because some hosting organizations could cause complications to your website later on. If you want to ensure success, you will have to pick wisely.
You must know the different kinds of hosting as they can affect your final decision making. The different kinds of hosting give various services as well. As you all recognize, sites have different needs so you have to choose effectively. You may always consider shared web hosting, dedicated hosting or VPS. It will depend on your choice. There are individuals who are simply producing a simple blog and some are making big web sites for business reasons. It indicates that they'll have to consider two different kinds of hosting because their needs are various from one another.
There are various kinds of hosting and they're important, but you must look at the other elements as well. You have to think about storage space, bandwidth and other aspects since they will undoubtedly influence the overall performance of your internet website once it is done and running. You should be careful when choosing a kind of hosting and make sure that you look at these other factors because your internet website will be relying on this. If you failed to obtain a sufficient bandwidth for your internet website, it will likely be inaccessible and if your website does not have enough storage space, you can't put lots of videos and images.
Web host services will be very important for your web site so you must spend your time and effort in finding a good one. You have to be extra careful when you are trying to select the best one.
At any time you need even more facts about hosting you can rely on click here.

Try this screen for core funds that take the road less travelled.
This article first appeared in the February/March 2011 issue of Morningstar Advisor magazine. Get your free subscription today!
Actively managed funds that don't move in lockstep with the overall market may be appropriate portfolio anchors for certain clients, while others may be more comfortable using them to complement core index offerings. These funds tend to be run by managers who don't let benchmarks guide their stock-picking or sector-weighting decisions. You can use this straightforward screen in either Morningstar Advisor Workstation or Morningstar Principia to turn up intriguing large-cap funds which have delivered compelling returns without following an index.
Special Criteria = Distinct Portfolios Only
And ( Morningstar category = Large Value
Or Morningstar category = Large Blend
Or Morningstar category = Large Growth
Or Morningstar category = Mid Value
Or Morningstar category = Mid Blend
Or Morningstar category = Mid Growth )
And Purchase Constraints = Closed-New Investment
And Min Initial Purchase < 25,000
And Analysis not = NA
To set up the screen, narrow the field to domestic large- and mid-cap funds that are open to new investments of $25,000 or less and followed by Morningstar Analysts.
And R2 3 Yr < 85
Next, set the three-year R-squared measure, which represents the percentage of a fund's performance that can be explained by movements in a benchmark index, to 85 or less. (The median R-squared for all U.S. large-cap funds clocked in at 94 for that period.) In the case of all U.S. equity funds, the S&P 500 is used as the standard index, and an R-squared of 100 indicates that the fund's performance moved in tandem with that benchmark.
And % Rank Cat 5 Yr < 33
And ManagerTenure (Longest) > 5
And Audited expense ratio < 1.25
Lastly, narrow the search to funds with top third five-year rankings and manager tenures of at least five years. The median expense ratio for broker-sold large-caps is 1.25% annually, which is the cut-off here.

If your quilt is under 60" wide, a horizontal seam will often save on yardage. The examples above show a 60" x 80" quilt. 3 1/3 yards of standard width backing has been cut 60" long and pieced.
If your quilt is more than 60" wide, consider using a vertical seam. The examples above show a 80" x 80" quilt. 4 1/2 yards of standard width backing has been cut 80" long and pieced. Depending on the cost of the fabric you are using to piece the backing, it may be more economical to buy 2 1/4 yards of extra wide backing.
If your quilt is over 80" wide, consider using the wide backing sold on this page. In the 110" x 110" example shown above, you would need 9 1/4 yards of standard width fabric but only 3 yards of extra wide fabric.

Thursday, March 7
DONE FOOLN WITCHA (CLM8000FM) Sat in tight quarters seemingly able to make a solid late bid but cleared much too late.
KYLIE HALL (NW2) Left, took the lead, yielded, sat pocket at 29-1, outkicked the favored leader, made a determined bid for the win but was nailed on the wire by a late closer.
JUDGE JON (CLM8000) Was wrapped up snuggly to the wire in front stepping victory and seems more than able to take another.
A REAL COMMITMENT (NW1FM) Came up second best in stretch battle in most recent and should be along in time in near future with same determination.
[DRF HARNESS: Sign Up for the FREE DRF Harness Newsletter Today!]
Friday, March 8

STOMPIN TOM CREEK (CLMHCP15/20000) Rallied stoutly but came up a bit short for a distant third over in last effort.
GREYSTONE LADYLIKE (NW4FM) Followed wide into the lane, closed gamely but was nailed on the wire. Beaten favorite can beat most with same move.
Saturday, March 9
TALBOTCREEK JEWELY (NW4) Left,got parked at 67-1,pressed the longshot leader as they dueled to the death but stayed around until mid lane.
MACHS BEACH BOY (NW4) Left, tucked, sat in, improved to the pocket by the lane, cleared too late to launch his bid.
CHUCKALO CADEN (NW8000) Beaten favorite had too far to come in last and the outer flow was too slow to help his cause.

Monday, March 11
PACIFIC WESTERN (CLMHCP20/30000) Charged home stoutly from the back of the pack to get the dead heat and can take another.

It has been a crazy week so I am just getting around to showing you the rest of
my visit to the Fancy Flea. If you missed part one you can see it HERE.
Hi Sherry- Love your Dad's new neighbor! It looks like there were some wonderful things to look at there...and I would have thought twice about that chair, too. It's a gorgeous piece. xo Diana
Love that shutter and that chair... oh I think that would have had to come home with me. Some great pieces there.
Can't wait to see what you found.
Oh Sherry, I"m surprised you didn't make room for that chair; it's divine.
Hi Sherry! I have not been to a flea market in a long time. Now I see why, look at all the great finds. I'd be broke...LOL
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
I don't blame you for considering buying that beautiful chair. So many pretty things, yet so little room (that's my motto). Ha! Is that an egret? He is cute. I guess that's life in FL!
Lot's of goodies. Thanks for taking us along, Sherry.
OMG we were at the same show and I did not see any of the items in your pics except the velvet pumpkins, weren't they cute!
Oh wow! That bird looks like a crane! I wonder if they're good luck or something? Really cool! Hugs, Leena

Play Musty for Me
In South Florida, summer shows, like summer clothes, tend toward lightweight informality. So it's not surprising that the Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs opted to present The Affections of May, a casual comedy that's as unpretentious as a seersucker suit and just as traditional. Canadian playwright Norm Foster's well-structured, single-set play about a woman's struggle to find life after marriage would have been a scandal on Broadway in the 1940s and '50s and the toast of the town in the 1960s. Nowadays, this kind of play rarely makes it to Broadway at all.
The plot is nearly wrinkle-free. In a nameless northern small town, May and Brian Henning have started a bed-and-breakfast in an old homestead. May, a former teacher in the big city, is gung-ho for her new country life, stomping around in overalls and Wellington boots. But Brian, a former salesman with a roving eye, soon announces he's moving back to the city, his old job, and his new girlfriend. To add injury to insult, he makes off with the funds in their joint bank account. Stunned beyond words, May keeps on at the B&B, gamely maintaining total denial of Brian's abandonment. She proclaims to all who will listen that Brian will be back any day now. But she can't do anything to stifle rampant local gossip as her sudden singlehood becomes a major subject of town interest.
Alone in her big old house, May is stuck in self-pity mode and spends a lot of time in bed. But soon, more men invade her life. A local homeless man, Quinn, asks if he can move into one of May's spare rooms in exchange for odd jobs. Quinn's another wounded soul, literate and honorable, but as self-defeating as May is. Then a portly mamma's-boy banker, Hank, hopes to woo her while dangling the prospect of a bank loan as bait. After a drunken Halloween masquerade party, May fends Hank off only to realize she has denied her desire for Quinn. His past wounds and hers keep them from truly connecting -- but wouldn'tcha know, they iron this out in short order.
The Affections of May,
Stage Door Theatre, 8036 W. Sample Rd., Coral Springs
Presented through August 3. Call 954-344-7765.
All right, this isn't Noel Coward, but it's reminiscent of Jean Kerr. May is a put-upon good girl who needs to get in touch with her Inner Woman, while Quinn is the tortured ne'er-do-well good guy so favored by soap opera writers (and old Broadway plays). Hubby Brian is an unmitigated cad, while namby-pamby Hank is the requisite comedic foil. Playwright Foster serves up this celebration of conventionalism in a low-key but careful script, featuring plenty of middlebrow sex jokes and comedic riffs that garnish the underlying story of self-sabotage and redemption.
Director Hugh Murphy's staging strategy is to pump up the comedic elements, which are quite well-staged and well-delivered by the clever, inventive cast of four. Unfortunately, this strategy is only partially successful. Although Foster's tale is peppered with comic zingers and farcical sequences, it's at heart a character-driven romance, a core that the Stage Door crew utterly ignores. As May, Laura Ellington goes for a generic sitcommy acting style, shouting and flouncing with vigor while dodging the character's emotional and psychological nuances. As Quinn, Mike Obertacz offers a solid but stolid performance and a repetitive downbeat vocal inflection that only underscores a lack of character development. May and Quinn talk a lot -- quite a lot -- about their emotional dysfunctions, but as most of the acting is focused on the lines, not on what may lie underneath them, there's little life or chemistry in this romance.
As might be expected, the supporting roles fare better. Dan Reinehr wrings lots of laughs out of Hank the horny banker, but this must be expected from a character who spends lots of time in a rabbit suit while stroking an enormous carrot. Christian Rockwell also does well as the philandering husband, mercifully understated in a wry performance. The attractive physical production features an effective costume design from Larry Bauman. But Sean McClennan's intricate, realistic set, the interior of May's lumbering country house, feels as dated as Foster's script.
Actually, the musty faded feel of this show is enhanced by the theater space it occupies, which offers entertainment value of its own. Ticketholders get the show, of course, as well as a quick trip back to the mid-20th Century. The Stage Door's look, feel, clientele, and program selection is decidedly retro, circa 1958. That's not a dig, exactly. There's something quite charming about this old Door, with its formal lobby and concession stand, uniformed ushers, and old-timey but unstuffy feel. This is a theater that aims to please in a relaxed, neighborly way. If you can go with this retro flow (and keep your 21st-century inner critic in check), you might well enjoy a visit to this easygoing entertainment. No jacket or tie required.

Pietersen, currently on tour with England in India, made his own Test debut against Ponting's Australia in the 2005 Ashes - a series which culminated in a famous home victory.
That was to be the first of three Ashes series Ponting would lose as captain, two in England and one in Australia - and now at the age of 37, the Tasmanian has accepted he will not do battle for the urn again after all.
Pietersen announced himself with a swashbuckling hundred as England claimed the Ashes for the first time in a generation seven years ago.
He voiced his admiration for Ponting on Twitter, signing off with the hashtag £legend to describe the great number three batsman. "Ricky Ponting RETIRES.... ONE OF THE GREATS!" Pietersen wrote.
"I always got excited playing AUS, so I could watch him bat up close. Well done Punter!"
Ponting will call time on his 17-year international career after the forthcoming Perth Test against South Africa, and will therefore never again face England - against whom Australia will play 10 Ashes Tests in home and away series in 2013 and early 2014.
England wicketkeeper Matt Prior was quick to follow Pietersen's lead, with his own tribute to Ponting - also on Twitter.
"Congrats to Ricky ponting on an amazing career," he said.
"One of, if not the, best batsmen I've ever played against and fierce opponent!"

Analyzing WrestleMania 29:A Retrospective
by, 04-02-2013 at 10:10 PM (2808 Views)
Well, well, well. The final Monday Night Raw before WrestleMania was delivered in the nation's capital and we now have every match set in stone. What can you expect? This is what I believe you're gonna see at Mania.
First I want to show my anger towards a couple of things. First and foremost, the Intercontinental Title Match is on the Pre-Show. What a mockery of one of the most prestigious titles in WWE History. Just to give you an idea of how wrong this is, we have to pay to see Tensai and Brodus Clay. That's right, if you are watching on PPV you're gonna have to empty your pockets to see them perform. The prestigious IC title has now been reduced to YouTube. Such a waste and poor treatment of it. Another thing that gets me upset is that Antonio Cesaro, the United States Champion, does not have a match at WrestleMania. These days, Cesaro is nothing more than a glorified jobber losing to established champions like Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, and more recently, in an impressive bout, Chris Jericho. This guy has unlimited potential, generates good heel heat, HOLDS A TITLE, and does not even get a match. This is the same case for Kofi Kingston. Not too long ago and TLC, he was the Intercontinental Title. Now, he is nothing more than a jobber. He doesn't even make consistent Smackdown or Raw appearances. Apparently, Superstars is more suited for his incredible abilities. Kofi may not always get the chance, but when his name is called, he performs, no matter how stale his character is. (*cough* heel turn *cough*). Apparently, Fandango and Big E, two wrestlers who has not even had a live match, are better suited for Mania, than Cesaro and Kingston. Just disgusting. By the way, where is the Divas match? I know it's not really important these days but you're not going to improve the Divas division by ignoring them. The Funkdactyls and Bella Twins had a pretty decent bout and there is some potential. I was hoping to see AJ vs Kaitlyn with AJ winning and joining Dolph as WHC and one half of the WWE tag team champs. Oh well.
On the other hand, I will say that I am quite impressed with the level of new talent from NXT and Florida Develoment has brought in. Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Ryback, Damien Sandow, Johnny Curtis and Big E. Langston will all be making their debut at WrestleMania. Kudos to them. However, Big E and Fandango better deliver. Now, on to the card.
YouTube Preshow: The Miz vs Wade Barrett - Intercontinental Championship
This is a disgrace of the highest order. I do not care how bad the build was (an argument over who had the better movie over the IC title? Really?). The Intercontinental Title should ALWAYS be on the main card for Mania. That's just a must. The title is too prestigious but WWE does not care. Rather, they would make us pay to see Tons of Funk dance their fat butts off. The WWE creative team is really just giving the fans a middle finger in my eyes. Expect Barrett to retain. Still a bit too untimely for me to give it to Miz. He was the IC champion not too long ago. And speaking of which, i want to see a Miz heel turn. Soon. It just isn't working out for me.
The Shield vs Randy Orton, Big Show and Sheamus
The Shield are prepared to deliver another taste of justice at WrestleMania and honestly, i do not see any way that team TheBigCelticViper winning against the Shield, considering that they beat a team with John Cena. That in of itself is an impressive feat. I see two things happening moving foward. The Shield will become more powerful than ever and will advance forward with power. But even bigger, Randy Orton turning heel is something that must happen. Attacking both Sheamus and Big Show is the way to go. It's time to inject the venom back into the Viper and unleash his true potential.
Chris Jericho vs Fandango
I have been on Fandango's case as soon as he entered into the WWE. Apparently, Vince has faith in this guy and his abilities. He said the same thing about Drew Mcyintyre and look at where he is now. I see Fandango going over here and if this match gets enough time, i expect them to put on a decent wrestling performance. Chris Jericho deserves much respect for putting someone such as Johnny Curtis over, especially at WrestleMania
Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston vs Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) - WWE Tag Team Titles
The wildcard i am looking for in this match is Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan. They had a stretch of wrestling 2 out of 3 straight nights on Raw and fans were treated to great wrestling bouts. Hopefully, this leads to Team Hell No finally breaking up after a strong debut last year and a rivalry between Ziggler and Bryan. Imagine the matches they would have for the title. I think i just tinkled. I see Dolph and the Big E winning here. But I was extremely displeased with the build for this match. Its as if WWE only focuses on the big matches, and just rush the undercard matches
Jack Swagger vs Alberto Del Rio - World Heavyweight Championship
The build for this match was lackluster as well. We have went from Batista powerbombing Triple H through a table for the WHC at WrestleMania 21 to more of a political battle between these two. I expect Swagger to handle Alberto Del Rio but Del Rio finding a way to win. However, i do not expect any of them to walk out as champion as I think a certain Show-off will have something to say about that. Ziggler will be the first person in WWE history to cash in at WrestleMania. Ziggler may very well be the biggest star who shines brightest when the night is over.
CM Punk vs The Undertaker
I thought the build-up was average by Undertaker's standards but the edgy CM Punk always finds a way to save the day. Attacking him with the urn and standing on top brings him at the border of magnificent and controversial. But what else would you expect from him? I am going to get tons of heat for this but let me explain. I can see CM Punk winning in a cheap fashion, with Undertaker ending his career by pushing the biggest heel in this business before and his gimmick as "The Best In The World". Of course, Undertaker is the clear favorite. I mean "look good on TV, but lose at the PPV" is the constant theme and it may apply to Punk. IF Undertaker wins, then i think he should end his career with a bang at WrestleMania 30. A match with John Cena.
Brock Lesnar vs Triple H - No Holds Barred (If Triple H loses, he must retire)
I do not see Triple H losing this match by any stretch of the imagination. Other than when Triple H first returned, this has been a below average build for me. We saw Triple H brutalize Paul Heyman and we had Brock Lesnar just standing there saying nothing and walking around the ring. At least show us a preview of what to expect. We didn't even see Triple H unveil his jackhammer. I expect this match to be very brutal, but there is no way Triple H loses to Brock a second straight time. The inclusion of Shawn Michaels brings new life into the feud. But you never know what WWE may have up their sleeve with HBK.
Team Rhodes Scholars and the Bella Twins vs Tons of Funk and The Funkadactlys
And just why should we have to pay to see this match? I don't know. The Miz vs Wade Barrett being on the pre-show is just a disgrace of the highest order. The IC title, once prestigious, has lost any significance that it has. As for this match, I do not expect much. To give you a little perspective, Cody Rhodes was the IC champion this time last year. Look at where he is now. Expect Tons of Funk to win and bring children from the crowd and have a big dance off. This is when I'll take my normal bathroom break.
Diddy Performance
And maybe I'll have a snack break when this is going on.
Ryback vs Mark Henry
Expect two heavy men running around the ring beating each other up. Ryback
John Cena vs The Rock II - WWE Championship
The build for this match should have been a whole lot better. This past Monday Night on Raw, there was no face-to-face, just Cena and Rock giving their own two cents in their own separate segments. Cena being in the first segment and not being shown again just makes his promo very forgettable. Last year, Cena and Rock were in each other's faces. They did get physical, but their promos were just meh. Their interview with the Hall of Fame Panel was golden but WWE, as often happens, fails to capitalize on that momentum. Now let's be reasonable here. Cena is not losing to the Rock a second straight time. BUT, bear with me here. I can see this happening. The Rock beats Cena again and Cena does not get his redemption. Fueled by anger, we see it, the biggest heel turn in years. Hulk Hogan turned heel when he joined the NWO. Stone Cold turned heel when he was in kahutz with Vince Mcmahon. Now it's Cena turn. Listen to what he had said. He said if he lost, he would not know what he would do. He also said that, we would all be shocked. Of course, this can all be an April Fools joke gone bad but lets face it, Cena is going to get booed out of the building but if he turns heel, he will be more over with the crowd than anyone else in WWE History. All they have to do is push the trigger.
There you go folks. Expect new champions, hopefully new characters (Orton and Cena) and a decent showing. This card has a lot of potential but a lot of pressure is being put on the NXT group to perform well. I have the upmost faith in them. I want WWE to pull the trigger on Orton and Cena. They will become so over and ratings will go sky high. Expect a few swerves and an overall decent night. Will Orton and Cena finally snap? Will this be the last time we will see The Game, Triple H? Will CM Punk cement himself as the best in the world by defeating the Undertaker at WrestleMania? Will the NXT rookies and new talent shine? Will Ziggler leave with multipltle titles leading to a Daniel Bryan feud? Will Ryback lift Henry off his shoulders? Why I am I asking you all these questions? Tune into WrestleMania (i will be watching online) and find out. This is RatedRKO, farewell for now.

The Tanaga is a form of Filipino poetry.
Form Edit
It consists of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line --- that is to say a 7-7-7-7 Syllabic verse, with an AABB rhyme scheme as in this example:
In the Tagalog original, using archaic orthography:
"Catitibay ca tolos
sacaling datnang agos!
aco'I momonting lomot
sa iyo,I popolopot."
In the modern Tagalog syllabication:
"Katitibay ka Tulos
Sakaling datnang agos!
Ako'y mumunting lumot
sa iyo'y pupulupot."
"Oh be resilient you Stake
Should the waters be coming!
I shall cower as the moss
To you I shall be clinging."
Translation by Jardine Davies [1]
The above Tanaga is attributed to Friars Juan de Noceda and Pedro de Sanlucar by Vim Nadera, and quoted them as saying "Poesia muy alta en tagalo, compuesta de siete silabas, y cuatro versos, llena de metafora." (16th century) ("There is high poetry in Tagalog, composed of seven syllables and four verses with frequent metaphors.")
Like the Japanese haiku, Tanagas traditionally do not have any titles. They are poetic forms that should speak for themselves. Most are handed down by oral history, and contain proverbial forms, moral lessons, and snippets of a code of ethics.
A poetic form similar to the tanaga is the ambahan. Unlike the ambahan whose length is indefinite, the tanaga is a compact seven-syllable quatrain. Poets test their skills at rhyme, meter and metaphor through the tanaga, not only because is it rhymed and measured, but also it exacts skillful use of words to create a puzzle that demands some kind of an answer.
It is almost considered a dying art form, but is currently being revived by the Cultural Center of the Philippines and National Commission of the Arts. Poetry groups, like the PinoyPoets, have been promoting Filipino poetry in English; the vernacular are also advocating the spread of this art form.
The modern TanagaEdit
The modern Tanaga still uses the 7777 syllable count, but rhymes range from dual rhyme forms: AABB, ABAB, ABBA; to freestyle forms such as AAAB, BAAA, or ABCD. Tanagas do not have titles traditionally because the Tanaga should speak for itself. However, moderns can opt to give them titles. [2]
Tanaga in other languagesEdit
While the Tanaga is originally intended to be written in Tagalog, it has been written in other languages such as English. Like-minded poets from all over the world are encouraged to utilize the Tanaga.

Muay Thai Legend Melchor Menor Breaks Bat with Shin at TUF PracticeOctober 14, 2013
Well, that's terrifying.
Veteran Muay Thai champion Melchor Menor visited the The Ultimate Fighter 18 practice facility, showing off his devastating kicks to the astonishment of Team Tate.
Asking two volunteers to hold a wooden baseball bat in place, Menor warmed up with three practice kicks before splintering the bat with a fourth, full-speed attempt.
A few things to note:
1) He broke a freaking baseball bat with his shin.
2) Did you hear those warm-ups? He didn't flinch. He enjoyed it. I need to rest, ice, compress and elevate my shins just from watching. That was nasty.
3) UFC veteran Dennis Hallman's reaction during the warm-up kicks aligned perfectly with my own.
4) He broke a freaking baseball bat with his shin.
Proper kicking technique can be devastating (NSFW language in that link), and Menor showcased this fact for Team Tate here.
One team member, bantamweight Cody Bollinger, was particularly impressed, saying: "Holy s***, dude. I've seen these on YouTube, and I finally got to see it in person. I've done some stupid stuff, but I"ll never try and break a f****** baseball bat with my shin."
This exhibition of kicking excellence shows the quality of instruction received by fighters during their stint on The Ultimate Fighter, and it also offers a valuable lesson in the power of the human mind.
Menor mentions that this feat is achieved through taking the pain to "another universe...Pain is only just but a few seconds."
I believe you, Menor. I do.
But I'm not kicking any baseball bats soon. I'll leave that up to you, sir.

Times Performing Arts Critic
Many musical theater fans will know about Grey Gardens. While it wasn't a huge hit when it played on Broadway in 2006-07, it was widely praised for its score (music by Scott Frankel, lyrics by Michael Korie) and book (by Doug Wright) that suggests an artful merger of Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim.
Movie fans may know the story even better, since the musical was inspired by a celebrated 1975 documentary film by David and Albert Maysles. It chronicled the reclusive life of Edith Bouvier Beale, 79, and daughter Edie, 57 — "Big Edie" and "Little Edie," aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis — who became tabloid fodder when Grey Gardens, their crumbling 28-room mansion in East Hampton, N.Y., was declared "unfit for human habitation" by the health department.
FreeFall Theatre is opening its season with Grey Gardens, and producing director Kevin Lane thinks it may draw as many devotees of the film as theater buffs. "This was a shocking documentary in the 1970s, cutting-edge stuff," he said. "It has a real cult following. What we're seeing from advance sales is that people who want it, want it bad."
Unlike the film, the musical portrays mother and daughter in their heyday in the fictional first act, set at Grey Gardens in 1941 when they were the toast of high society and Little Edie was engaged to Joseph Kennedy Jr. Act 2, in 1973, shows the pair in all their eccentric, seedy glory in a house full of stray cats.
"We paid a lot of attention to what is in the movie," director Eric Davis said, adding that much of the dialogue is from the film. "The beds are replicas of the beds they lay on in the film. We've put a lot of detail into little iconic things that the audience will recognize from the film. For example, there's this brooch that Edie wears with every single outfit she puts together. It's a kind of bow, with four branches spreading out from a central flower."
Grey Gardens is performed on a single set in the freeFall production, with seating for about 140. Michael Raabe leads a six-piece band.
Wyn Wilson plays the mother in the first act and then the middle-aged daughter in the second act. This was a tour de force on Broadway for Christine Ebersole, who won the Tony Award for best leading actress in a musical for the dual roles.
The freeFall cast also includes Katie Zaffrann as Little Edie in Act 1 and Ann D. Hurst as Big Edie in Act 2.
Interviewed before a rehearsal last week, the actors said they tried not to take a lot of dramatic license in playing the women. "These are real people, and I can't ignore the documentary," Wilson said. "Little Edie has her own accent that you need to represent. I feel I need to be as true to the real woman as possible."
Little Edie died at 84 in 2002 in Bal Harbour. Her mother had died 25 years earlier at 81 in New York.
In some ways, the story of the Beale women could come across as pathetic, a campy freak show. But the musical cuts through the squalor to create a compelling treatment of the relationship between a mother and daughter.
"I think they're brilliant women," Hurst said. "They're just unusual, that's all. Very independent. From the height of society. Wonderfully educated. They had all the possibilities of grandeur and just decided to hibernate. They're not a freak show, not at all."

text: To file AC21 or not???? Please share your thoughts/experience I hope my PD to become current within next six months and I am in a dilemma about filing AC21 letter+documents. My sponsor company (A) is a Fortune 500 company and the new company (B) is much bigger/reputable than sponsor company. I was laid-off by sponsor company for which I had worked for 180+ days after I-140 approval. My case details below; Category: EB2 (India) I-140 RD: mid-Oct 2006 I-140 Approval Date: March 7, 2007 PD: mid-Sept, 2006 I-485 RD: July 2007 (originally filed at CSC and later transferred to TSC) Date of leaving company A: mid-May 2009. Date of starting with company B: end-Oct. 2009 I used EAD while joining company B (I-9). My third EAD (H1 expired) was just renewed and valid till Oct. 2012. After reading several USCIS and other documents and postings on the forums: 1. Invoking AC-21 is not mandatory. USCIS may send RFE for this when your case comes up and this will delay GC by approximately two/three weeks. 2. One forum-friend described AC21 as sleeping giant. They may send more queries and your case may get delayed even for more than a year. My job profile is exactly the same; however the title is different. This is one concern I have for sending AC-21 letter. Also it is already eight months, I joined new company (and did not invoke AC21 earlier). Will the delay matter? I will highly appreciate you sharing your experience and valuable comments.

proving that no week is complete without a plethora of security advisories, microsoft has announced a scripting vulnerability in all versions of the company's windows operating system. although microsoft has not divulged exactly how an attacker could exploit this to his or her advantage, the security bulletin mentions the following:
a flaw exists in the way by which the windows script engine for jscript processes information. an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a web page that, when visited by the user, would execute code of the attacker's choice with the user's privileges.
such language sounds suspiciously like a buffer overflow. microsoft's patch for this has already been released.
not to be left out, ssl may again be showing signs of cracking. czech researchers at icz claim to have discovered a new way to intercept and decrypt ssl-encrypted transmissions between a host and client. using a relatively new tack in the hacking community–exploiting "side channels"–the group claims ssl can be broken using step-by-step mathematical algorithms. catch more in the research paper on this.
chief editor's note: grumpyoldman, ever vigilant in pointing out holes of all sorts, sent in news of a linux security flaw relating to samba, a popular file-sharing utility. the hole will give malicious hackers root access to linux boxes running samba versions 2.0x through 2.2.7a. get more info, including how to fix the problem, at internetweek.
eric's opinion
i'd love to know when the fruits of microsoft's trustworthy computing are finally going to show up. it's a pity we're having to wait until windows 2003 and/or windows 2005 to get code that's actually been rigorously tested. while i'm sure redmond doesn't want to spend money reworking software that's already been sold, you'd think it would care enough about its corporate image that the techs would put a little effort into finding these buffer overflow exploits. as i've railed about before, these exploits are among the easiest to find and fix that there are, and the very fact that they exist shows massive laziness on the part of programmers and qa departments everywhere.
the ssl issue is somewhat disturbing, but not unduly so. apparently not all servers are vulnerable to this type of cryptanalysis, so the protocol itself may be sound while the implementation is vulnerable. still, it points out that hackers are going to ever more extreme and intricate lengths to get into "unbreakable" systems. to paraphrase a good quote, vigilance is the price of security.

"while i'm sure redmond doesn't want to spend money reworking software that's already been sold, you'd think it would care enough about its corporate image that the techs would put a little effort into finding these buffer overflow exploits."
isn't that exactly what this is? no information that a hacker has used it, just a buffer overflow that should have been caught as part of the original design. if they don't tell you about it, then it is security by obfusication when they do tell you about it, then they are being sloppy. you have to make up your mind. a journalist should have one viewpoint and stick to it.

>> "…the sheer abundance of vulnerabilities – and most based around the same exploit."
not really. it's more likely that a group of developers are going to make the same mistake repeatedly, than a bunch of completely different mistakes. if they didn't know enough to avoid buffer overflows in one situation, chances are they made the same mistake repeatedly throughout the application, as well as many other applications.
now, if they're continuing to release new software with the same problems…… well that's a whole different story. :)

i don't even bother to think much of it anymore or apply the patches. i just go ahead and erase the hard drive and install linux.
linux gives me much higher levels of control over the os and software which allows me to better secure my computers. with windows, i have to "trust" that windowsupdate installs the correct patches full of code that only adds to the bloat while simultaneously sending back a complete inventory of my system.

|to salaryman (6:26pm est fri mar 21 2003)
i think you misunderstood the point of my comment. allow me to clarify.
microsoft has, in the past, publicly put a moratorium on the writing of new code, focusing instead on finding flaws in existing code. this effort seems to be aimed almost exclusively at finding flaws in *unreleased* products. while this will benefit us down the road, it does absolutely nothing for us right now.
my stance on this issue does not, has not, and will not waver. i'd love to see ms spend on *existing products* one fifth the effort they're currently expending on new products. just putting a team on finding buffer overflow exploits alone would cut down on bugs by almost 90%, considering that about 90% of the latest flaws have been buffer overflows.
ms is very unlikely to do this, however, because there's very little in it for them. after all, if they expend a massive effort on fixing win2k/xp, that makes them no money at all. further, it will discourage consumers from upgrading when the next iteration of windows arrives. it's a double whammy (in the negative sense) for them, which is why they're just not gonna do it. i can wish, though. – by j. eric smith
|which is worse? insecure or patched screwy windows 2000 (6:49pm est fri mar 21 2003)
i heard that if you applied the critical patch to windows 2000, it might be impossible to reboot your computer. what kind of crappy software is microsoft giving out?
" as always, security experts said the best way internet users can protect themselves is to update antivirus programs regularly, and to stay current with security patches for all software.
but some who have attempted to keep their programs patched ran into problems earlier this week after applying a critical patch for windows 2000. the patch made it impossible to reboot their computers.
microsoft later announced the patch was incompatible with 12 previous software fixes for windows 2000 issued between december 2001 and february 2002. users running any of those fixes won't be able to reboot their windows 2000 systems after applying the new patch, according to microsoft.

linux rulez, you're slightly exaggerating the effects of the windows 2000 patch you mention. the only customers who experienced problems were those who were running vendor-modified kernels. specifically, some vendors shipped their pre-installed windows servers with a version of the kernel that was somewhere between sp2 and sp3. if they applied the new patch to this custom kernel, you got a bsod and a non-bootable system (although there are documented steps on how to recover the system by replacing the affected files). a gaffe? absolutely, but it's nowhere near as big as you're suggesting. – by j. eric smith

The online application deadline for the 2013 Rotary Youth Leadership Award applications is Jan. 31. The award is given annually to current sophomores and juniors in high school who have demonstrated leadership, maturity and an interest in community service.
Information and applications for the award and Camp is available at www.greatplainsryla.org or www.facebook.com/greatplainsryla.
Prior RYLA recipients have reported, RYLA was a neat way to meet girls throughout the state. The friendships I developed during RYLA will be with me my whole life, and I had a lot of fun during my week at Camp RYLA. I was really nervous because I was the only one from North Platte High School, but I met a lot of nice girls from other towns.
Participants have enjoyed the outdoor activities, stating The best part was going on the zip line and the high wire. They were scary, but a lot of fun.
With respect to the leadership programs and speakers, recipients report, I loved hearing all of the speakers talk about all the places they had been, and the things they had done, and I love to travel so hearing about the countries all of those amazing women had been to was very exciting. I would definitely recommend the Camp.
Young men have found the Camp instrumental in developing leadership skills, noting RYLA was a great experience for me. I had a really fun time meeting people from all over the state with some of the same interests as me, and RYLA was a great experience. It taught me a lot about how to be a good leader. We had a lot of fun and many fun times that I will remember for a long time.
The Rotary Clubs of North Platte sponsor area students and provide transportation to and from camp and there is no cost to the student. Students can participate in leadership training, learn from outstanding individuals of varied backgrounds, educations, careers and interests, and participate in recreational and friendly competitions. After students return from camp, they are asked to visit a North Platte Rotary Club to share their camp experience with members of the Rotary Club.
Lincoln County high school students currently in their sophomore or junior year of high school who are interested in applying for the 2013 Rotary Youth Leadership Award, should consult the Facebook or www.greatplainsryla.org.
Area high schools have been provided DVDs and information on the award and camp, as well. Applications must be submitted on-line no later than Jan. 31, to be considered for the July 2013 Camp.

Soni Chaurasia attempts to set Guinness World Record by dancing for 124 hours - Sakshi
Wed, Apr 06, 2016, 12:54 PM
Kathak dancer Soni Chaurasia has once again begun marathon dancing on the outskirts of the Varanashi city on Monday evening. She had failed to break the 124-hour Guinness world record in dance in November last year. Her dance marathon will end on April 9 at 9pm. It is to be mentioned here that 30 year dancer tried to break the 123 hours and 15 minutes Guinness record in Mohiniattam dance form made by Hemlata Kamandalu of Kerala in 2011. But she could perform for 87 hours and 18 minutes only as she fell unconscious.

"I believe the biggest fight will be in Europe. Whoever wins the hardware war in Europe most likely will be the overall winner," he stated.
Florin went on to add that raw graphical horsepower is no longer as important to gaming as it once was, and that it was the overall quality of the gaming experience that was rising to the forefront.
"Everybody gets carried away with the technology," he added. "When the technology gets more usable then the story tellers get more to the forefront.
"If new consumers come in, they might not react to new hardware in the same way as the core gamers who go for bits and bytes and have to have the latest processor power,"

A neurological evaluation should be done if a patient has slowly increasing signs of mental dysfunction, new seizures, persistent headaches or evidence that there is pressure inside the skull such as vomiting or swelling or protrusion of the blind spot at the back of the eye.
A neurologist, a doctor who has received special additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, will do a complete examination. Your doctor may request a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or a computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan as well as chest X-rays to check whether the tumor has spread from another part of the body. An MRI usually finds low-grade astrocytomas earlier than CT. Cerebral angiography is rarely used to diagnose a brain tumor, but may be done before surgery.
Depending on the patient's symptoms, specialized tests may be done. These include tests of the field of vision, the sharpness of vision and hearing.
If the results of other tests aren't conclusive, an examination of the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord may be done. This is usually unnecessary.

Queen Auditioning Members for Their Own Tribute Band
Queen drummer Roger Taylor concedes he's getting "a little long in the tooth" and that he and guitarist Brian May may not be the best candidates to take the legendary rock band's music worldwide any longer. However he's found the alternatives — cover bands — most unsatisfying. So they're putting together their own tribute band.
Beginning Monday, the next Taylor, May or even Freddie Mercury can upload his or her audition video to QueenExtravaganza.com. The band will sort through the tapes and pick out the best. "I'm quite convinced that there are tens of thousands of kids, of really talented people, in their bedrooms around the world playing drums, playing guitar, and singing," Taylor tells Rolling Stone. "And I want to find some of those people. And of course we want young people because we're no longer young (laughs)."
The final result, the Queen Extravaganza show, will not only feature the band's music, but also unseen footage and spectacular production. Taylor said he's working on that part already. "We're putting the show together now, so what I wanted to do is leave sort of places in the show which Brian and myself could roll up and do a turn, maybe if we're starting a run somewhere exciting. So that would be an option, but, in general, this show will not feature a Queen band member."
The tribute band would be more than a one-turn act. Taylor says he envisions this project carrying on the band's legacy even after he's given up creative control. "All these things are possible so it could be a never ending tour."
We just can't believe someone beat Kiss to this idea.

They were the ST. They were twitchy on grooved surfaces, not great in the wet either. The rear was showing cord at 7100 miles.
I ran one of the STs as a front and didn't love it. The new compound for the GT got such good reviews that I decided to give it a try. so far it feels much better, but I don't have one on the front yet.

The seeds of this season's dysfunction were planted about 48 hours after the Red Sox lost the final regular season game of the 2011 season.
Boston was eliminated from the playoffs on September 28th. A team with one of baseball's highest payrolls had completed a collapse of historic proportions. A ten-game cushion to start the month had evaporated into a one-game deficit, and there were no games left to play catchup.
That was Wednesday night. By Friday afternoon the managerial tenure of Terry Francona in Boston had come to an end.
Depending on how one interprets what happened, either Francona left on his own volition or he was forced out by Red Sox upper management.
At this point it doesn't really matter.
The loss of Francona as a manager was just the first misplay by Red Sox brass.
Next was the amount of time it took to replace him.
The Red Sox were totally blindsided by the collapse. They fired Francona but forgot that they'd need a replacement, and not just anyone, but someone who would fix the problems and improve the clubhouse atmosphere.
It was Friday September 30, 2011 when Francona and the Red Sox broke-up. It was almost a full two months later that the Red Sox announced the hiring of Bobby Valentine.
It has been almost a year, and the Bobby Valentine era certainly has all the trappings of a failed one-year experiment.
The Red Sox parting ways with Valentine would hardly be a shock at this point, but the replacement is far more important than the actual firing of Valentine.
Thursday, as the Toronto Blue Jays prepare to start a three-game set in Boston, their manager former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell is at the center of the Bobby V. replacement rumors.
Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe thinks the Red Sox will once again ask the Blue Jays about Farrell.
Boston called Toronto about Farrell's availability last season. Toronto responded by asking for Clay Buchholz in exchange for their under-contract manager. That high price tag ended the discussions between the two teams.
Boston had good reason to want Farrell. For five seasons (2006-2010) he was the Red Sox pitching coach. Three of those featured postseason trips, including the 2007 World Series title.
In those years, the Red Sox developed impressive young pitchers such as Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester, Josh Beckett nearly won a Cy Young Award in 2007, and even Daisuke Matsuzaka had his best season.
Those success stories, coupled with the current pitching staff's futility and the ties to Terry Francona all make Farrell an appealing candidate for the Red Sox.
There are some problems though.
One is that as impressive as Farrell's pitching coach resume is, his managerial resume doesn't have the same shine.
As a manager Farrell is 142-156. His Blue Jays teams have yet to finish above .500 or contend for the postseason.
He hasn't had a very long run, and as we all know the American League East is not the easiest place to manage.
Maybe Farrell is the right choice. Maybe the Red Sox will need to send the Blue Jays something of value to acquire him. Maybe it will be worth it.
The Red Sox need to have a plan. The team floundered and sputtered for nearly two months last fall before hiring Valentine. If Valentine was their first choice, the team's upper management had an odd way of showing it.
Now the Valentine situation appears to be broken beyond repair. It doesn't really matter who is at fault here.
The owners aren't selling, and the players can't all be shipped out of town or fired. Fans can bemoan a lack of effort and lament the amount of money that the players are being paid. Those things aren't changing anytime soon. The average salary in Major League Baseball is $3.44 million a year, so even the lower payroll teams are staffed by multi-millionaires.
If you care about the Boston Red Sox, 2011 doesn't matter and soon 2012 won't either. What is of paramount importance is 2013 and beyond. The Red Sox need a plan, not a one-year fix, not a series of high profile free-agents.
The Red Sox need a plan for long-term success. If that includes John Farrell as manager, then get it done. If management isn't totally confident in his ability to handle the job, then find someone who inspires that confidence.
Maybe the Red Sox fire Valentine before the season ends, and maybe they don't. The "when" is almost irrelevant at this point. It is more about the actions they take in the immediate aftermath of a managerial firing.
Last fall Boston Red Sox management wasn't prepared to lose Terry Francona and the 2012 Red Sox have paid the price for that. This fall the Red Sox better be prepared, because 2013 needs to have a different feel and different outcome than 2012.

Utah Jazz: A 23-point turnaround lifts Utah past Portland
Gordon over Jimmer CORONA, CADec. 25, 2011 9:35 a.m.
C Kanter 6'11"
PF Favors 6'10"
SF Evans 6'10"
SG hayward 6'8"
PG burks 6'6"
This could potentially be Utah's starting line up one day. A couple years ago our biggest weakness was that we weren't tall enough to be able to compete with the top level teams in the league like the Lakers. I get goosebumps just thinking that this could one day possibly be our starting five if they all pan out to be good players. Thats a lot of blocked shots right there.
shaybo Richfield, UTDec. 23, 2011 1:50 p.m.
Evans needs more PT, yes he can make a 15 foot jumper. He also needs to come in with watson, they obviously have a great chemistry. Howard seems to have most of his speed and quickness back but needs to prove he can shoot from perimeter before he starts at the 3.
Kakashi Tokyo, JapanDec. 23, 2011 3:45 a.m.
just have faith with this team...and expect to have a rough couple of years...Once the Young Guns find their footing...teams should really watch out for us...Kanter...is a rebounding machine....and loves the contact...Favors has the highest ceiling among them...and could turn out to be the Main Man...Hayward would be the Manu Ginobili of our team....does everything...Alec Burks would be a great wing as well....let's all just have patience...and not to have too high expectations towards them...just wait and let them grow....
CJ Miles Dallas, TXDec. 23, 2011 3:18 a.m.
Oh the leading scorer was the great CJ Miles. Hurry trade him while he has value. I hear the NJ Nets need some players.
onetobeamup Murray, UTDec. 22, 2011 2:08 p.m.
@JazzFan86 - this draft has exactly what the Jazz need - a true PG. Check out Kendall Marshall in NC and Myck Kabongo in TX. The fact this draft is C/PF heavy is to the Jazz advantage as our picks will probably be in the 8-12 range which is exactly where they could be.
YouthforEagar MONROE, UTDec. 22, 2011 12:30 p.m.
The Jazz are struggling to get things going. The Jazz are going to make the playoffs.
jazzfan86 American Fork, UTDec. 22, 2011 12:13 p.m.
To all those saying look to the draft next year, what exactly are you looking at? Its deep at basically PF and that's it. Look at ESPN top ten draft board, it has 6 power forwards being taken in the top ten. Now if Favors or Kanter is our PF of the future then what good would it be to take one next year with a top ten pick? Then look at the other options, Drummond is a C with 35% free throw percentage (potential yes but over-rated in my opinion). Basically if the ping pong balls fall our way we have a shot at Barnes but more likely we're looking at Beal or Lamb. Both good role players but I don't see either as being a franchise player. Lastly no point guards worth taking with a top ten pick, unfortunately that's what we need most.
coach hines Salt Lake City, UTDec. 22, 2011 12:13 p.m.
The last minute or so watching the jazz try to advance the ball up court or throw an inbounds pass looked more like 'jr jazz'! Not enough time in the two-a-days to practice under pressure?!?
Americanvet Ivins, UTDec. 22, 2011 11:49 a.m.
I could care less about the Portland Trailblazers. Whether they make the playoffs or not doesn't matter to me. I'm sure going to enjoy watching this Jazz team develop though and it's only a matter of time before they move up in the west. Probably won't happen this year but the future is bright for this team. Portland will try to sign Jazz players when the become free agents because they don't how to spot talent in young players on their own. Hopefully the Jazz can lock up these young guys with long term deals.
Ravenal Somewhere in, UtahDec. 22, 2011 11:22 a.m.
@ Portland Trail Blazer,
Congrats on becoming the hedgehog of Utah Jazz articles.
Jazzledazzle Provo, UTDec. 22, 2011 10:45 a.m.
@ JailBlazer
So you think Portland has a chance at homecourt against Dallas, OKC, both teams in L.A and San Antonio? I thought Portland had educated fans. Not to mention Camby got hurt again, Oden is hurt again, Roy is gone, and Aldridge is your go to guy. Aldridge is good and all, but superstars for the teams you will be contending with are Dirk, Durant, Paul and Griffin, Kobe, Ginobili and Duncan (they are old, but still a good combo) Aldridge is not on their level.

Utah is fighting not to be in last place in the west while portland could contend for homecourt in the playoffs.
Two franchises going in opposite directions.
Jazz title contenders in 3 years?! Let me ask Miami, Boston, Chicago, Oklahoma City, both Clippers and Lakers, and New York if Utah is a title contender in 50 years....
Brave Sir Robin San Diego, CADec. 22, 2011 9:51 a.m.
It's cute when two fanbases (Portland and Utah) argue about which team is going to get the last playoff slot.
Crotty Kid Salt Lake City, UTDec. 22, 2011 9:32 a.m.
Like we've all been saying since the day the Jazz didn't match the offer sheet, we should have kept Matthews. Hopefully the Jazz brass learned their lesson and can hang onto unheralded young players like Jeremy Evans. He will be an excellent player even though he doesn't get as much attention as the other young players. Hopefully they can all develop. If the Jazz don't make the playoffs like predicted and GS is at least the 22nd best team next year then the Jazz will have two lottery picks for the 3rd year in a row. It's all based on potential but if the Jazz can develop all these young guys, we'll have a pretty good team for a long time.
Captain L Provo, UTDec. 22, 2011 9:28 a.m.
We're going to need to have patience this year, I'm not happy with Harris at the point, he looks to shoot too much , he needs to be the facilitator. I didn't like Favors and Big Al in the game together, Favors couldn't ever get the ball, Big Al is a black hole. CJ has played well but I didn't like his body language at the end of the game, with the players on the floor at the end he needed to take charge and he didn't. I just hope GS finishes 8th or 9th worst in the league, so we can get their pick this yr. This should be a very strong draft.
Aggielove Junction city, OregonDec. 22, 2011 9:03 a.m.
No sloan, so yea they wont do much.
Ever heard of pre-season?
Anonymous Infinity American Fork, UTDec. 22, 2011 8:50 a.m.
Exhibition games are just that; they mean little. All they are for are to sort out some of the players. The crowd will probably be indicative of the season; sparse. The only times the game had any excitement was with Evans' dunk/charge play and the last second shot defense against Portland for a possible tie at the end. I did like Kanter's hustle. Jefferson will be a liability on the defensive end, as is Mehmet; Hayward is going to be a project; Josh Howard will be a plus, as well as Tinsley. The jury is still out on Harris for me. I can see how this club will be a project.
The Big One Salt Lake City, UTDec. 22, 2011 8:43 a.m.
Preseason thriller, headline writer can you look up the word hyperbole then avoid it in future headlines. I don't even bother reading the articles or watching the games till the playoffs. Preseason thriller, that is a classic.

Jazzledazzle Provo, UTDec. 22, 2011 8:33 a.m.
@ Portland Trailblazers
Yeah Portland will make the playoffs, and exit in the first round like always.
Doug10 Roosevelt, UTDec. 22, 2011 8:32 a.m.
Bell should take the place of Hornacek and become a coach. Neither of them is functioning in their current role.
I am not sure that Corbin giving Bell minutes will rejuvenate his career or his moves or shot that are missing from his game.
The young guys should get better as they get used to playing together and as they get more time in actual NBA situations.
Jazzledazzle Provo, UTDec. 22, 2011 8:13 a.m.
I thought Jamaal Tinsley looked good last night. He runs the offense and is a good passer. I am glad he is on the roster for some insurance. I don't think he should see a lot of time, but if Harris gets hurt, or Watson, it will be nice to have him there. Josh Howard also showed some glimpses of his past. Jeremy Evans is getting better too.
akk2602 Sandy, UtDec. 22, 2011 7:47 a.m.
I liked what I saw. Some observations... 1)Raja Bell can be a valuable part of the team but not so much on the floor. I hope he can be a good leader and mentor to our young guys and fill in when they struggle but his minutes should be very limited. 2) I hope Paul Milsap will accept coming off the bench and being our go to guy with that unit especially in the fourth quarter. It is obvious that Favors needs to play and Jefferson and Milsap playing together for extended minutes makes us too week defensively. 3) I hope Corbin demands defense from Jefferson, Okur and Kanter @ center and gives the playing time to those who do. 4) I think we are solid at point with Harris/Watson/Tinsley. 5) I like a Jefferson/Favors/Howard/Hayward/Harris to start Kanter/Milsap/Miles/Burks/Watson next With Evans/Okur/Tinsley/Bell to fill in when the others struggle and in back to back games
Jazzledazzle Provo, UTDec. 22, 2011 7:39 a.m.
By the way everyone, that was NOT a charge on Jeremy Evans. Gerald Wallace will be hanging on somebody's wall on the receiving end of a monstrous dunk. The poster will be autographed by Jeremy Evans. That was sick!
Jazzledazzle Provo, UTDec. 22, 2011 7:38 a.m.
@ Portland Trailblazers
The fact that you put Minnesota at 9 takes away all your credibility. They have like 15 point guards on that roster. Give me a break.
Mountain Bird West Jordan, UTDec. 22, 2011 7:25 a.m.
I think the charge call on Evans was legit which makes the dunk even more incredible. Ranks among the best dunks I've ever seen.
toddfromsantaana Santa Ana, CADec. 22, 2011 2:03 a.m.
Funny stuff here tonight...For one thing Harris is better than Tinsley and Earl and we need games like 10 points from him. He started well. Sure more assists will be needed and keep the turnovers down, but he looked to pass more in my opinion. Earl is excellent but LIMITED MINUTES. He wore down in the 2nd half of last season when DWIL was dealt. Evans? We know about the incredible dunk, he needs to develop a jumper. Expect little time from him again as Josh Howard is here. Hope Jeremy really develops. Favors was still a threat around the basket offense and D. CJ had a controlled game. AJ bounced back. More energy. They gave up still open 3s but it was better. The rotations were better. Still we cannot allow guys like Wes to get off, and hurt us with the Corner 3s. Everything was fine. The last few minutes almost ruined it. Trap leading to Turnovers and Portland almost came back. Although, Harris in Regular Season would have been in at the end. Tinsley had problems handling the rock there. Also Howard did not close on Wes last 3.
Still better and we won!
chicagoborn WEST VALLEY CITY, UTDec. 22, 2011 1:26 a.m.
@Portland Trail Blazers
Are Portland fans and front office still uptight over drafting Sam Bowie and Greg Oden? It sure seems that way. Congratulation on finishing the pre-season 1-1. We all know how badly Portland wanted to win this game and finish undefeated.
forgetyourself Layton, UTDec. 22, 2011 12:48 a.m.
I think the Jazz need to ditch Harris and Bell they are not good enough to be on the starting line up. They need to earn there place on the roster. Bell is a great leader but a horrible player. With all the Talent the Jazz has up and coming you think they would let Bell go. Okur is fine cause we need the three point threat. Tinsley and Earl can handle the Point just fine.

Who is going to distribute the ball? Tinsley had 3 assists in 13 minutes while Harris had only one assist in 25 minutes? Need a pont guard.

Yep, Blazers will make the playoffs and then be a 1st round exit, which is their destiny for the next decade.
All I have to say is LOL.
Jazz have top caliber young guys and will get 2 more this year from this stacked draft. Then in about 3 years, we are actual title contenders.
Not perennial first round exits like you guys.
Thanks for the entertainment after every Jazz game and for letting us rub in how mediocre your team is and always will be :).
I'll take the lottery this year to get us more top caliber guys and get to actual contender status in a few years over Blazer mediocrity any day.
I guess you are content with that, so enjoy :).

I thought we watched some interesting combinations out there tonight. At times they clicked pretty good. I thought the offense flowed pretty good when Tinsley was running the point. Earl Watson seems to distribute the ball as well.

So the Jazz pulled all of their starters halfway through the third and gave their young players late game experience while Portland played their starters the whole game and on to the very last second. The Jazz still won and yet you seem to think Portland still going to make the playoffs.
I guess it's possible... ... if everyone else only plays their second and third stringers.

Serious question, Aae Jazz writers, fans, and front office still up-tight about Wesley Matthews? It sure seems that way.
Congrats Utah on a better "game" and actually deciding to show up.
Here is my final western conference predictions and playoffs now that the pre-season is pretty much over:
1. OKC Thunder
2. Dallas Mavericks
3. San Antonio Spurs
4. Los Angeles Clippers
5. Los Angeles Lakers
6. Memphis Grizzlies
7. Portland Trail Blazers
8. Denver Nuggets
9. Phoenix Suns
10. Minnesota Timberwolves (I think they're going to surprise a lot of people; they are young which will help them, and they have Love as well)
11. Houston Rockets
12. New Orleans Hornets
13. Utah Jazz
14. Sacramento Kings
15. Golden State Warriors

hey somebody needs too tell frontrunner's Johnson72 and Snailblazer that portland didn't win the preseason championship. How embarrasing to play all your best players in hopes of a win; and come up short against Utah's young third stringer's.They(portland) still couldn't win with utah's nine turnovers in the fourth; at least set your best players down and don't advertise "you're trying too win the game". OUCH!
QBU OREM, UTDec. 21, 2011 10:04 p.m.
Much better tonight! HOWEVER, the reserves need a lot of improvement when under pressure. They almost gave it away.
I hope the ref apologizes to Evans for taking away the dunk of the year! That was INCREDIBLE!

Do you want me to say I had a c-section? If that makes you more satisfied...
yes, my natural birth was tough, but i can cope with pain. For the three little treasures I got at the end, it was worth it.
My question was more about is it really possible that a doctor failed to spot the 3rd baby in several scans, especially since 2 of them were identical (i.e. shared an amnyotic bag). And since you say you had IVF it would be logical that the pregancy would have been followed closely from the beginning to see if it was successful and how many embryos were successfully implanted. It's hard to believe you had "surprise" triplets and that you were allowed to deliver them at home with know complications, especially since one of them was "so small" you didn't now she was there.
I'm sorry if I come across as rude, but we get a lot of "new members with triplet baby girls with pretty unusual names" trolls here and it's really annoying / disrespectful. There are many NB members who have trouble concieving or lost babies & most people don't like to be fooled.
Beautiful! I am so happy you got your happy beginning after trying for so long :)
