Our sweet pea seeds send out, April issue and Get Growing
Dear neighbours and NZ Gardener family,
Our April issue should be with our subscribers now and available in supermarkets and service stations (having been distributed prior to the lockdown restrictions). Whether or not it's on the stands yet is a bit patchy ... but then the incredibly brave and hard-working supermarket staff have quite a bit on their plate right now so I understand if there is a delay! Please, please, please everyone ... don't go out to buy it! Normally of course we love you buying NZ Gardener but right now it's far more important that you stay home and stay safe. (You can buy a copy with your online shopping though! That's safe and I think we are all in the market for something uplifting to read right now).
In this issue we offered to send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who sent us a SSAE. Just to reassure you, we will still send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who is keen to participate. We are just not quite sure when! Ignore the dates in the magazine of when you needed to send the envelope in by - that has been indefinitely extended. But we cannot wait to send you the seed and for those flowers to bloom as by then we will be well through this or even have it behind us. And keep letting us know what you are sowing and growing, send in pictures of your harvest, your flowers or what you are sharing.
We always love hearing from NZ Gardener readers but now when we are all staying apart that connection means more than you can imagine. Stay home, stay safe and stay in touch everyone. For the most updated gardening advice, subscribe to our digital e-zine Get Growing, which will be delivered to your inbox completely free.
At-Home Fire Safety Checklist
With everyone staying home, it's now more important than ever for everyone to be fire-safe. People can find information on our website - fireandemergency.nz...
We're heading into winter, and with households self-isolating together, there'll be more cooking at home, and more use of open fires, heaters, and dryers - all things which can increase fire risk.
New Zealanders can be confident that Fire and Emergency is well-prepared and ready to respond to emergencies as usual during the nationwide self- isolation period.
Please call 111 if you have a fire, we will ask you whether anyone at the address is self-isolating or has a confirmed case of COVID-19. Where this is the case, we already have necessary measures in place to ensure everyone's safety including protective clothing, gloves, masks, safety glasses and mask.

What a Luxury Apartments Should Have?
Finding homes for sale is a difficult job. Buying a home is absolutely different from buying something like a car. Buying a home is a significant financial investment, so you must put in a great deal of effort in finding the very best offers. While searching for a home, do not deciding quickly. Constantly do a great deal of research on the property- its history and location- prior to even thinking about buying it.
There are a number of sources through which you can find homes for sale:
The most convenient way to find properties for sale is through classified area of papers and web. Newspaper classified areas are a great source for finding properties for sale in neighboring areas and regions. A much better way of finding your dream home is by searching classified websites online.

When you begin trying to find homes for sale, you will wind up with a long list at the end of the procedure. The next thing you have to finish with this list is narrow it down. You need to narrow it down by area, area and rate. There is just no point in taking a look at houses that remain in a region you do not wish to reside in or are priced over your budget. Another essential thing to bear in mind is loan. Go to a bank and obtain a loan. A pre-approved loan will provide you a concept about the maximum loan that you can take. Next, you ought to search for houses that are listed below this limitation.
An excellent real estate agent can make all the distinction. The real estate agent can assist you in building a list of homes that meet your requirements, and are within your budget.

If you desire something particular in your home, do not be reluctant in informing your real estate agent. These representatives do charge a commission however they are well worth it. When making a big financial investment like buying a home, a small commission paid to the real estate agent guarantees that you would get a home that satisfies your needs in all elements.
Luxury Contemporary Homes For Sale in Hidepark
Most people don't buy or sell real estate very often, so lots of myths have grown up around the processes and people involved. Here's an examination of the top 10 myths about real estate.
Myths about Real Estate Agents
1) All real estate agents are the same
Totally false. Commissions, working practices and success rates vary vastly across agents. Do a little research to find the right person to work with.
2) All estate agents make a fortune
False. The commission may seem like a big chunk, but most agents only get paid when a deal goes through. Many houses are marketed by multiple agents.who may put in lots of work for no return on some houses.
3) Estate agents will do and say anything to make a sale
Almost always false. Sure there are dishonest estate agents out there, but most rely on client satisfaction and recommendations to thrive, so it's in their interest to be honest.
Myths about Selling Houses
4) You don't need to prepare a house for sale
So false it could cost you thousands! Most buyers want a ready to move into house, and don't have a lot of imagination. General cleaning, minor repairs, and tidiness make a real difference to the chances of selling a property quickly and for the best price.
5) You'll make more if you market the property yourself
Generally false. You won't pay commission, but the agent will reach a far larger audience than you can, and they have the expertise to make sure the deal goes smoothly.
6) You should price high so you can come down
True, to a limited extent. There's no harm in putting your hoped-for price up as a starting point, but you need to be realistic. Potential buyers won't even look at a place that's totally outside their price range.
7) If a property doesn't sell in the first month, it won't sell at all
Generally true! Potential buyers will look with suspicion at anything that's been on the market for a while. This is the major reason why getting the price right and preparing the property for sale are important.
8) Spring is always the best time to market a property
Often true…But some properties have special circumstances. A beach house will sell better in high tourist season, while a ski chalet might do better if marketed in the winter.
Myths about Buying
9) You don't need to worry about the finances until you've found the right house
False. Having your financial arrangements in place before you find your dream property means you can move quickly. This could make the difference between securing the deal or getting pipped at the post.
10) You can't go wrong by investing in property
Mostly true…in the UK. The ups and downs in the property market over the years have left people with negative equity for a time, but the chronic housing shortage in the UK generally makes property a safe investment. Still things can go wrong, surveys and searches help reduce the risk of this.
If you're buying property out of the UK things, become more complicated You really need an agent who's familiar with the local regulations and market conditions, such as Saas-Fee real estate which offers properties in Switzerland.
Most other countries don't suffer from the chronic property shortage which keeps UK prices high, so you need advice to make sure your investment is sound. Also the rules and regulations are different in different countries, again an agent that understands the local requirements will make sure you're fully legal and protected.
What a Luxury Apartments Should Have?If you look out into the Atlantic, past the Scituate, Massachusetts, harbor you can see Minot's Ledge Light blinking 114 feet above the swell. For the past 150 years the lighthouse has warned boaters about the shallow, shipwrecking rocks close to shore, but recently the Coast Guard decided it wasn't relevant anymore, and this fall the light became private property.
My dad grew up in the harbor the light protects, and my grandmother trolled for striped bass with a handline out past the ledge. Stories about the lighthouse dovetailed with our family's history. Eight months pregnant with my father, my grandma pointed a skiff out into the teeth of a nor'easter to tie down her boat, the Little Gull, under the flash of the light. I get the lighthouse obsession from both sides. My mom did her architecture school thesis on lighthouses. She spent a summer visiting lights along the eastern seaboard. She started in Hatteras, North Carolina, near where she grew up and moved north, toward Hull, Mass., toward my dad.
Minot's blinks 1–4–3, so people call it the "I Love You Light," and before Ray J made it a bad R&B song, my parents would sign letters and then send texts 143. That lighthouse is part of our narrative, and I don't think we're the only weirdos who put emotional weight on places. I feel irrationally possessive of Minot's light, even though I've never been in the tower. The fact that it no longer belongs to the public — that it's owned by an individual who can turn it into a vacation house or tear it down — feels like a transgression.
Part of that is nostalgia. I think it's the same kind of analog fascination that makes people want to slaughter their own chickens, or take up sewing, but it feels a little more exciting than that. It hits deeper, because it draws back to when you could get lost in the ocean, when you needed a beacon to bring you home.Credit: Boston Public Library
But almost no one navigates just by visual markers these days, which is why in 2009, the Coast Guard decided that they didn't need to hold on to Minot's Ledge Light anymore. The U.S. General Services Administration, which is essentially the real estate arm of the government, was tasked with getting rid of it. That summer, they posted a notice of availability. No one bit on the original bid, and this June, they put it up again for $10,000. On October 13th, Bobby Sager, Polaroid's chairman, won the auction and bought the lighthouse for $222,000.
It's not just the Minot's Ledge lighthouse that's changing hands. The General Services Administration, which likes to call itself "The Nation's Landlord," is in charge of selling off any federal property that's deemed irrelevant. Their website is full of Black Hawk helicopters and former cop cars.
Among the federal detritus, lighthouses are a special case. As a whole, they're basically obsolete — they're only designed to do one thing — but they're also historically significant, so the feds don't just want to flatten them. In 2000, the GSA, the Coast Guard and the Department of the Interior passed The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. It lets the federal government give away lighthouses to qualifying local governments, non-profits, or community development organizations. They try to put them in the hands of groups that will keep them open to the public, but sometimes, like in Minot's case, no public entity wants the responsibility. Then the property goes to a private auction. Since the act passed, they've transferred ownership of 68 lighthouses to non-profits and historical commissions for free, and sold 39.Credit: Boston Public Library
Minot's light has been giving people feelings since it was built in 1860. The ledge it's built on was notorious for wrecking boats because of its steep shelf and twitchy tides. Minot's was constructed to replace an earlier light, which was swept away in a storm. Two lighthouse keepers were killed when it went down and they're said to haunt the new house. I'm not sure if it's the romance, or the ghosts, but it's always drummed up a kind of fascination. The local brewery makes a Minot Light, Thoreau wrote about it, and it's been used in ads for Cape Cod Cranberries and American Tobacco cigarettes.
Minot's has a good story, but it's not the only one that's been celebrated. Artist, writers, and poets, from Marianne Moore to James Taylor, have canonized lighthouses. People name churches and rehab centers after them. "Beacon in a storm" might be one of the most overplayed metaphors of all time.Lighthouses aren't the only kind of obsolete public buildings that we put on a pedestal — I think people feel similarly about fire towers — but lights hit the crosshairs of history, design, adventure, and allegory.
The GSA says they're "a symbol of the strength and longevity of our country's trading practices and communal spirit." In less governmenty terms they're markers of a kind of simplicity and purposeful adventure, which is now all but obsolete. Unlike my grandmother, I'm not pulling bass into a boat by hand. I barely know how to read a nautical chart (although there is an app for that), and sometimes, even though it's irrational, that feels like a loss.
Some of the people purchasing auctioned lighthouses feel the same as me, and they're buying them to save them. Last year, in Boston Harbor, just north of Scituate, Dave Waller bought Graves Island Light, which is a direct design copy of Minot's, for $933,888. At the time it was the most anyone had paid for a lighthouse. To find the money, he and his wife mortgaged their house, as did his mom, to help them out. "We went all in," he says. He says he didn't have any solid reason for buying it, just that same deep-seated nostalgia and a long-standing but loose family tie. As a kid, he sailed by it in his dad's boat.
Waller has done a ton of work on the tower. He's rechinked the granite blocks to make it watertight, and put in running water and electricity. He's arguably made it better. He's says he's planning to open it up for occasional tours, and that the response has been really good. Lighthouse fanatics have reached out to tell him they're glad he's renovating it, and that they can see the good parts of private ownership.But, ultimately he's turning it into a vacation house. "I kind of feel guilty buying it, taking it, and making it mine, because it was built with public money, but it was put up for free to non-profits first and there were no takers."Credit: Boston Public Library
Minot's future is still up in the air. Sager hasn't officially said anything about what he's planning to do; he's actually been radio silent since the sale. But Waller, who has been in close touch with him because Sager was the other bidder for the Graves light, says that he's talked to him about his plans, and that, for now, he's going to leave it untouched. The light, which is powered by solar batteries, will still flash, and the Coast Guard will come by every once in a while to check on it. Sager grew up in Malden, on the North Shore of Massachusetts, so maybe he just has that same nostalgia-fueled fascination. Maybe he just wants to be able to see it flash.
No one in my family lives in the Scituate harbor anymore, and it's morphed from a fishing town to a summer vacation spot for people from Boston. Most of the boats in the harbor have the names of other places across their sterns, and the dock where my grandma used to drop her catch is now lined with tchotchke shops. Last summer we went back and piled cousins and aunts into a rented house. At night we'd take beers out to the back porch and count the pulses from the light, picking out which ones said "love" and which ones said "you."

Welcome to the new CommScope.com experience. Need help? Get Help
On Sunday, millions of people will get together, order food and cheer on their favorite team in the "big game." According to Forbes, more than half of those viewers will use a smartphone or tablet to watch, giving advertisers more opportunities to reach consumers -- during and after the game.
Along the same lines, Rapid TV News shared a survey from the NATPE and CEA, which found that the second screen has become a permanent part of the viewing experience, providing a more meaningful connection between viewers, content and increasing viewer loyalty.
Similarly, Variety detailed an agreement between CBS and Nielsen which will allow for the measurement of viewing activity across TV and mobile devices. Advanced Television also discussed research from Futuresource Consulting projecting that the global number of TV-centric connected devices will exceed 2 billion by 2017.
In other tech news, Broadband Technology Report shared that Shaw Communications will deploy our APEX3000 Universal Edge QAM to enhance consumers' viewing experiences and support its growing Video-on-Demand VOD libraries.
What are you most excited about: the commercials, the game or your TV? Let us know in the comments below.
1. Super Bowl Ads For Multitaskers (Jan. 29) By Michael Blanding, Forbes: When most people sit down to watch the "big game" this Sunday, the television won't be the only screen they'll be looking at. Increasingly, viewers are doubling up on entertainment with a second media device in their hand or on their lap to complement—and compete—with the television.
2. CBS, Nielsen In Pact To Measure Video-Watching Across Different Media (Jan. 29) By Brian Steinberg, Variety: The nation's most-watched broadcast TV network wants to figure out how people watch its programs when they aren't using TV to do so. CBS, home to such big-audience programs as "The Big Bang Theory" and "NCIS," has expanded its relationship with Nielsen to devise measurement of audience behavior across multiple methods of video distribution.
3. Second screen recognised as permanent part of viewing experience (Jan. 28) By Editor, Rapid TV News: The second part of the NATPE/ CEA survey into second-screen usage has revealed 'tremendous potential' in content designed for synchronous viewing and the simultaneous usage of both a primary screen and second device.
4. 2bn TV-centric connected devices by 2017 (Jan. 28) By Editor, Advanced Television: The global installed base of TV-centric connected devices surpassed one billion units in 2013 and will exceed two billion by 2017, driven by smart TV, IP-enabled STBs, game consoles, Blu-ray players and low cost digital media adapters, according to the latest research from Futuresource Consulting.
5. Shaw Deploys ARRIS for VOD, TVE (Jan. 29) By Staff, Broadband Technology Report: Canadian cable operator Shaw Communications has deployed ARRIS' APEX3000 CCAP gear to support its growing VOD libraries and as part of its TV Everywhere strategy. The CCAP-compliant APEX3000 is a redundant edge QAM solution that combines video and DOCSIS high-speed data services to a single RF port.

It's been a long time, almost a year since Andy Warren and I kicked off The Mentoring Experiment. We had a successful cycle 1, and are not in the process of looking for mentors for cycle 2. Once we get an idea of how many people are willing to be mentors, we'll start taking applications for mentees.
If you are interested in helping out a fellow SQL Server professional, apply today.
Cycle 1 worked out well, and I know a few people expressed interests in cycle 2 late last year and earlier this year. My apologies for the delays in getting started. Both Andy and I have been busy and this was one of the projects we were working on that suffered. We hope to get things moving a little more quickly and smoothly in the future, so subscribe and watch for more announcements on the Mentoring Experiment Blog.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Junior running back Terrance West (Northwestern H.S./Baltimore, Md.) and senior tackle Eric Pike (DuVal H.S./Landover, Md.) of Towson University were named as All-America first team selections on the FCS All-America team that was selected by The Sports Network on Wednesday.
They were two of five Tigers named to The Sports Network's three All-America teams. Sophomore fullback Emmanuel Holder (Calvert Hall H.S./Baltimore, Md.) and senior cornerback Jordan Love (Deep Run H.S./Washington, D.C.) were named to the second team while senior linebacker Telvion Clark (Granby H.S./Norfolk, Va.) earned third team honors.
Towson and Eastern Illinois led all schools with five All-Americans on the 102-member teams.
West, who leads all of college football with 2,295 rushing yards, earned first team All-America honors from TSN for the second time in his career. He was also named as first team All-American selection in 2011 when he won the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in FCS football. The 2013 CAA Football Offensive Player of the Year, West was named as the CAA Offensive Player of the Week four times.
A three-time All-CAA first team selection, West has scored 39 touchdowns this season, tying the FCS record for touchdowns in a season. He leads all of college football in touchdowns scored.
A four-year starter on the offensive line, Pike was a third team All-American last season. A two-year team captain, he has played in 48 career games, setting a school record for most games played. The Tigers' starter at left tackle, Pike is a two-time All-CAA first team selection.
An outstanding blocker in the backfield, Holder earned All-CAA first team honors. He caught 13 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns.
Another first team All-CAA selection, Love is a two-year starter at cornerback. He has made 59 tackles and ranks second on the team by breaking up 10 passes.
A third team All-American, Clark leads the Tigers with 131 tackles in 14 games. He is second in the CAA in tackles and leads the CAA with five forced fumbles.
All five of the All-American selections will lead Towson into its NCAA FCS semi-final game against Eastern Washington on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 2:00 p.m. (EST). The game will be televised on ESPNU.
The Tigers bring a 12-2 record into the semi-final game.

Shahid Afridi urges world to end Pakistan isolation
All-rounder Shahid Afridi has made an emotional appeal to the cricketing world to end Pakistan's four-year isolation over terror attacks.cricket Updated: Feb 01, 2013 15:07 IST
All-rounder Shahid Afridi has made an emotional appeal to the cricketing world to end Pakistan's four-year isolation over terror attacks.
No international cricket has been played in Pakistan, which suffers near daily Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked violence, since gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team bus in March 2009, killing eight Pakistanis and wounding seven visiting players.
Minnows Bangladesh twice called off tours last year over security fears and the head of the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA) has warned players not to take part in an inaugural Twenty20 tournament in March.
Former captain Afridi said Pakistan has been sidelined and had "suffered because of being the frontline state in the war" against Islamist militants.
"We are desperately trying to revive international cricket in our country and need co-operation but it's not coming," he said on Thursday.
For four years, Pakistan has been forced to play its home series at neutral venues in England and the United Arab Emirates, denying millions of local fans the chance of watching live international cricket.
"Pakistan cricket is suffering because of non-cooperation and it is high time that other nations contribute to our efforts. Don't leave us alone," said Afridi, known for his hard-hitting and wily leg-spin in limited overs cricket.
He said cricketing nations and FICA should help the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) bring foreign players for the PSL.
"If two players from each country come we can stage a good league and I request Cricket Australia to send their players," said Afridi.
"FICA must also co-operate. Pakistan needs support and if a player is willing to come and we are assuring him security, then they must not stop him. This is the time that world cricket must support us."
Afridi said Pakistan wants a special bond with Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka.
"Pakistan has helped Bangladesh, they shouldn't forget that," said Afridi, referring to getting Bangladesh Test status in 2000. The country won independence in a bitter war with Pakistan in 1971.
"We toured India for a limited over series in December-January which helped them earn a huge amount and now it's India's time to help us – all the more so because cricket has been the biggest tool in bringing both nations closer," said Afridi.

When you get back to touring-no jumping off the stage or anything crazy-at least for a while!!!! While so many of us can't wait for the tour to be rescheduled so we can see you and the boys, the main thing is that you get 100% healed. In the meantime, know that we are thinking about you and hope you feel better soon!!!!xoxoxJen

Speedy RecoveryBest wishes on your recovery Bono...my wife and I had been waiting eagerly to get to Qwest Field in Seattle on June 20. We are eagerly awaiting the reschedule date for it. Take care of yourself and don't be too overanxious...your health is most important. God bless you and the band..see you in Seattle in 2011.
09 July, 2010
Houston waits patiently....First of all, I want to thank you guys for all the unbelievable music for all these years. I've been a huge fan since I bought "Unforgettable Fire" on cassette so many years ago. Bono - I know your recovery will take longer than you want (or can even stand it to take), but your fans will be there waiting when you are ready to dazzle us again. Love and peace to all! Come back to Houston soon!!!

30 June, 2010
HealingCatching up after 20 years of not following the band has almost broken my heart. I am very thankful that I decided to join the community. Would love to be at the Denver concert when everything gets rescheduled, but I have no ticket. The most important thing now is that Bono heals properly and completely with the regimen that the doctor(s) have ordered. Peace to you all and looking foward to seeing you soon.
30 June, 2010
good drugsHi Bono, I can relate to Edge's story about you being a little incoherent right after surgery. I was too while I was on morphine after my spinal fusion on 6/14. It does some crazy stuff to your head. Even when I was just on vicodin before my surgery I was repeating stories over and over, for example I told my daughter four separate times that you also had back surgery. On the fourth time she could stand it no longer and told me I had mentioned that one before...like three times at least :-) Bono, rest and follow doctors orders. Wish I could go to physical therapy with you...wouldn't that be a kick! Have been a fan for nearly 4 decades and won't stop now. Love, Diane (robotspine)
30 June, 2010
Edge is right on!Hi it's robotspine here. I call myself that because I had a spinal fusion at L4/L5 vertebrae and a discectomy at L5/S1 on June 14, 2010. Who cares? I do. It's not an easy surgery but I bounced back very quickly. Which brings me to the point Edge made about keeping Bono under check. I'm a lot like him in that as soon as I feel able I'll be out doing some crazy things like watering all the plants and washing off the deck this morning at 7am. But I also know that I mustn't bend at the waist and I don't. I cracked up about Bono's lack of awareness after surgery. Honestly, the first two days for me were twilight zone time. Even before the surgery, while I was in pain and on vicodin, apparently I started repeating myself quite a bit and told one of my daughters four times that Bono had gone in for spine surgery just a couple of weeks ago. On the fourth occasion she finally told me that I had mentioned it three times previously. Aye aye aye :-) Thanks for the great update Edge...we've all been wondering. Peace and Love, Diane (robotspine)

Sadness...For the first time I am not going to see you live at Portugal, next October. I am one of the victims of a con website (totaltickets.co.uk), and me and my wife, wont be able to celebrate life like I usually do at your shows, and black market tickets are very expensive (check them at leiloes.net). Bono, hope you get well very soon. Love, Paulo and Carla
27 June, 2010

Get well real soonI can't even imagine the pain that Bono is in. There is absolutely no reason that he should feel in any way that he let the fans down. I just watched the DVD again and was thinking how awesome the concert is going to be when I finally get to see them next year!!! Until then take care and make sure that you take all the time you need to recover. Always a fan.
13 June, 2010

Get well soonhope Bono gets better real soon, been a fan for 25 years since I watched him rule the stage at live aid. God Bless and speedy recovery xx.
11 June, 2010
Thanks Edge...I knew it had to be VERY serious to hold that man down! It was hard for me to fathom him ever being stopped in his tracks. Having held these tickets since presale in 2009, I was getting stoked to go (only weeks away to my 3rd 360) but when I got the news of the surgery any disappointment immediately turned to concern for his wellbeing. Bono will be in my thought and prayers as will the rest of the members of my favorite band aka God's gift to music. Take as much time as you need, Bono...we'll all be here, ready when you are. We have even more to look forward to now: U2 360, new tracks AND our "Fearless Leader" at 100%!!
09 June, 2010
God bless youI hope Bono recovers as fast as possible, but the most important thing is that he really recovers, no matter if it takes eight weeks os eight months. I'm sure every fan in the world prefers not going to a concert but that Bono gets better. The world needs you to much. GOD BLESS U2
08 June, 2010
You are the bestBono, We hope all is going well with your recovery. You need to make sure you take your time to heal so then you can continue doing all the wonderful amazing things your do. I would like to say thank you for all the happy memories you and U2 have given me over the years. You all have helped me get through lot just by listening to your music. You guys have gotten me and my family through a lot of major events in our life and we are looking forward the future help your music will continue to provide us. Take care of yourself and don't worry about your fans, we love you and are there in prayer and spirit and will be there with open arms when you return, healthy and better then ever.
08 June, 2010
Get well, BonoJust want to send well wishes to Bono for a speedy and full recovery. I've been a fan of you guys since you hit the US airwaves and will be yours forever. Your faithful fans know your tours are always unforgettable and we have patience to wait for Bono's full recovery for the shows to start back up. So, Bono, please take care of yourself and get back to 100%. Also, Thank you, Edge, for your video to reassure us fans. All the best wishes to you all and your families.
08 June, 2010
kimmyU2 you are a precious commodity, take care of yourselves and each other. Bono, take the time that is needed to get fully well. I have followed you from the very start and parts of my life have been shaped by your music. God bless you and yours. Keep smiling! x
07 June, 2010
Can't WaitI just wanna wish Bono a complete and speedy recovery. I've been a huge fan most of my life (I'm only 20) and saw you guys for the first time last September up in Boston. It was absolutely awesome. I was so glad you played "The Unforgettable Fire." I've got tickets for the show in the New Giants Stadium and I am so pumped. Though I was sad when I heard the news, it just made me look forward to the show next year that much more. In the meantime I'll be picking up the Rose Bowl DVD sometime in the next few days. You guys are my favorite band of all time and I can't wait to see you again. Take care.

US Women Sweep Pool B with win over Turkey

Unofficial DataVolley Stats - Official Stats
LONDON (Aug. 5, 2012) – The U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team started slow and finished strong to defeat Turkey 27-25, 25-16, 25-19 Sunday evening to finish the Olympic Games Pool B undefeated at Earls Court in London.
Team USA, which had already sewn up the top seed in the pool regardless of the outcome with Turkey, concludes Pool B with 15 points and a 5-0 record. The U.S., ranked No. 1 in the world, will face NORCECA rival Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals on Tuesday at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. PT). Dominican Republic finished Pool A with a 2-3 record and in fourth place.
Turkey, ranked eighth in the world, finished Pool B with a six points and a 2-3 record. Turkey needed to win to assure a spot in the quarterfinals. After Brazil (7 points, 3-2) defeated Serbia (0 points, 0-5) in straight sets to conclude all group play, Turkey was eliminated and the defending Olympic Games champion gained the last spot into the quarterfinals.
Other quarterfinal matches will have Pool A winner Russia (15 points, 5-0) facing Pool B fourth-place Brazil (7 points, 3-2) at 3 p.m. local time (7 a.m. PT), Pool B second-place China (9 points, 3-2) challenging Pool A third-place Japan (9 points, 3-2) at 1 p.m. (5 a.m. PT) and Pool A second-place Italy (13 points, 4-1) versus Pool B third-place Korea (8 points, 2-3) at 9 p.m. local time (1 p.m. PT).
Team USA dug itself out of a 13-7 deficit in the opening set to Turkey with an 11-3 scoring spurt to take a 17-16 lead, but had to save two set points before winning 27-25. The Americans used six blocks and only two errors to fuel the comeback. The U.S. ran off five straight points to take a commanding 19-12 lead in the second set and finished it 25-16 on four unanswered points. Team USA erupted for an 8-3 lead early in the third set and continued to push hard through the set to finish the match 25-19.
"To me one of the important characteristics of a great team is how they perform when there is nothing on the line," U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "I thought our team really honored the moment of competition tonight. Like the true Olympians they are, they came and battled tonight. I am really proud of that and happy with the performance. I think we even got a little better tonight in a few areas. That is what we are always trying to do with each match – get better."
Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) led the U.S. with a match-high 19 points via 17 kills on 38 attacks and two blocks. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) chipped in nine kills on 12 attacks, five blocks and an ace for 15 points. Christa Harmotto (Hopewell Township, Pa.) totaled nine points with six kills on 12 attacks, two blocks and an ace. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) pocketed nine points with eight kills and a block. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) turned in five kills and a block for six points. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) rounded out the scoring with one kill.
Berg provided 24 running sets and Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) added 11 running sets mainly in the third set replacing Berg. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) contributed 11 excellent receptions on 14 attempts to go with five digs. Larson added a team-high 11 digs and 11 excellent receptions on 16 errorless chances. Tom charted a team-high 17 excellent receptions on 26 attempts aside from nine digs.
"We played for ourselves," Berg said in regards to having already qualified as the top seed into the quarterfinals regardless of tonight's match. "We didn't want to dilly-dally because there would be no benefit in that. We needed to keep in our rhythm."
McCutcheon started Akinradewo and Harmotto at middle blocker, Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Berg at setter and Hooker at opposite. Davis is the designated U.S. libero for the Olympics. Thompson and Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) were subs in all three sets, while Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) came off the bench in the first two sets.
Team USA held an 11-6 margin in blocks and a 46-42 advantage in kills. The Americans limited their errors to nine for the entire match and benefited from 18 Turkey errors. The U.S. converted 43.0 percent of its attacks with a .336 hitting efficiency (46-10-107). Turkey converted just 33.6 percent of its attacks with a .160 hitting efficiency (42-22-125). Turkey managed a 48-40 advantage in digs, but only a 62.7 excellent service reception percent.
"We have got better with each of the five matches," said Team USA five-time Olympian Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.). "Turkey came out strong, but we were able to regroup whenever we went behind. I've played in four overseas Olympic Games and never heard such huge support from American followers in the crowd - it's given us a great lift."
Earlier in the tournament Team USA defeated No. 15 Korea (3-1), No. 1 Brazil (3-1), No. 3 China (3-0) and No. 7 Serbia (3-0) in pool play.
"We've seen bits of them," McCutcheon said of the impending quarterfinal match with Dominican Republic. "I know their results have been a little sporadic throughout the year, but they have a lot of experience and have weapons that can hurt you. They are all legitimate teams at the Olympic Games."
Dominican Republic will offer Team USA all the challenges they could ask for in a quarterfinal match.
"They're going to be coming to get us," Berg offered on USA's NORCECA rival Dominican Republic. "They are emotional, aggressive and physical. We're going to have to serve tough and keep the ball away from their libero (Brenda Castillo)."
China (9 points, 3-2) edged Korea (8 points, 2-3) 28-26, 22-25, 25-19, 22-25, 15-10 earlier today in a key Pool B match. With the match going to five sets, it assured both teams of qualifying for the quarterfinals.
In Pool A, Russia (15 points, 5-0) topped Italy (12 points, 4-1) 26-28, 25-19, 22-25, 25-16, 15-11 in a battle of undefeated teams that decided the first- and second-place teams heading out of the group. Dominican Republic (6 points, 2-3) defeated Algeria (1 point, 0-5) 25-15, 25-16, 25-13 to assure it a spot in the quarterfinal round. After Japan (9 points, 3-2) defeated Great Britain (2 points, 1-4) 25-19, 25-14, 25-12, positions three and four were settled with Japan taking third place in Pool A and Dominican Republic fourth place.
The U.S. Women are in search of its first Olympic Games gold medal after winning silver medals in 2008 in Beijing and 1984 in Los Angeles. Team USA also won the bronze in 1992 in Barcelona. Aside from the Olympics, the U.S. has not won a major season-ending tournament including the FIVB World Championship and FIVB World Cup. However, the Americans have won the FIVB World Grand Prix, the premier annual international women's volleyball tournament, the last three years and five times overall.
Neriman Ozsoy paced Turkey with 14 points and Neslihan Darnel added 11 points.
Turkey scored three unanswered points to take a 3-1 advantage early in the opening set. Hooker and Akinradewo answered with kills to knot the score at 3-all. Turkey scored three straight points heading into the first technical timeout leading 8-5. Turkey extended its lead to 10-5 with two points out of the break leading to a USA timeout after yielding five straight points. Turkey added a sixth consecutive point at 11-5 on a block out of the break. The U.S. stopped the run with kills from Harmotto and Hooker slicing the deficit to 11-7. Turkey won the next two points for a 13-7 margin. The Americans answered with kills by Hooker and Akinradewo around a Tom block prompting Turkey to call timeout with its lead whittled to 13-10. Out of the break Tom scored another block at 13-11 to put the run at 4-0 on Harmotto's serve. Akinradewo put up a block after a Turkey error to narrow the gap to 15-14. Team USA knotted the score at 16-all with a Hooker block after a Turkey service error. Hooker hammered a kill to put the Americans up 17-16 after a Turkey free ball. The U.S. added to the lead with a Turkey attack error at 18-16. Turkey evened the set at 20-all on an ace going into an American timeout. Turkey went back in front 22-21 on a block. Team USA resumed the lead at 23-22 with an Akinradewo block and Turkey attack error prompting a timeout by Turkey. The lead reversed to Turkey with a set point at 24-23. Team USA saved two set points and gained its first set point at 26-25 with a Hooker kill and Akinradewo ace. Harmotto put up the winning block at 27-25, her fifth point of the set. Hooker notched seven points in the opening set, while Akinradewo chipped in six points.
The U.S. reached a 4-2 advantage in the second set with a Larson kill and Turkey error leading into a timeout. Turkey leveled the set at 4-all with a block and then went in front 6-5 as part of a 4-1 scoring run. Team USA returned to the lead with a Tom kill and Harmotto block at 7-6. Hooker downed back-to-back kills and Harmotto served an ace to push the American lead to 10-7. Akinradewo and Hooker combined for consecutive kills and Turkey hit into the antenna to extend the American lead to 13-8. Turkey stopped the run with a 4-1 spurt to prompt McCutcheon to call timeout holding a slim 14-12 margin. Hooker tallied back-to-back kills to put the U.S. in front 16-12 at the second technical timeout. Back-to-back Turkey setting errors out and an attack error of the break extended the American lead to 19-12 as part of a 5-0 run on Akinradewo's serve. Turkey closed to 20-15 on consecutive points. Tom and Berg picked up back-to-back kills and Turkey committed a setting violation to reach set points at 24-16 advantage on a 3-0 serving run by Miyashiro. Hooker ended the set with a kill off the block for a 25-16 victory. Hooker tallied seven points in the second set and the Americans took advantage of seven Turkey errors.
Team USA scored five straight points on Tom's serve to take a 6-2 advantage in the third set with two blocks and two kills by Akinradewo and a kill by Hooker. The U.S. reached the first technical timeout leading 8-3 after Akinradewo and Hooker scored consecutive kills. Turkey scored two straight points to close to 8-5, but Berg went down with an apparent injury as the U.S. went in front 9-5 on a Larson kill. Larson added another kill to push the American lead to 10-5, only have Turkey cut the gap to 11-8. Consecutive Turkey errors and an Akinradewo block lifted the U.S. back into a six-point cushion at 16-10 at the second technical timeout. Turkey scored back-to-back points out of the break to close to four at 16-12. Harmotto, Larson and Hooker all scored consecutive kills to push the advantage to 21-14. After Turkey clipped two points of the deficit at 23-18, the U.S. sided out the rest of the way finishing with an Akinradewo kill at 25-19.
