Steve Clarke: The month isn't over for Killie just yet
in #KillieStories December 26, 2017
Steve Clarke wants Killie fans to enjoy the moment but has told his team there is still work to do to complete a memorable December.
Killie head to Hamilton on Wednesday before ending 2017 with a trip to Easter Road to take on Hibernian with a record of four wins and a draw from five festive fixtures.
The Killie boss was pleased his team delivered an early Christmas present for supporters with the 2-1 triumph over Rangers at Rugby Park but his focus has now fully turned to the test at the SuperSeal Stadium.
He said: "For the supporters it is to enjoy the moment, I think it has been a while since they've had such an enjoyable month but for us the month is not finished.
"We've still got two very difficult away games. We focus first on Hamilton, which I think will be a real test for us having played in front of a big crowd at Rugby Park.
"We'll go away to Hamilton's stadium and there won't be such a big crowd there and it is a similar surface to our own. They are a better team than their results suggest and they are a team who are dangerous because when they need a result, they usually get it."
Killie hold a five-point advantage over Accies heading into the match with Clarke spending part of Christmas Day scouting our next opponents.
And he believes Martin Canning's men are better than recent scorelines suggest.
He added: "I've been watching them on video the last couple of days, even on Christmas Day I had the laptop out and sat and watched the full game against Partick Thistle.
"They have a good balance, they have a lot of big boys in the team who can be quite physical if they need to be and they've also got one or two clever, bright footballers."They're going to ask us a lot of questions and we're going to have to be at 100% to get a positive result."
Ahead of our sixth game of the month, a number of players will have knocks assessed by the medical team. One player who won't feature in Lanarkshire but may play in Edinburgh is Greg Kiltie.
The attacker felt a small issue in his hamstring with the management team ensuring the forward is given time to recover.Steve said: "When you come back from a long period out injured, especially with a serious injury, you always pick up little knocks and niggles on the way back.
"Unfortunately, in training last week Greg picked up a little niggle in his hamstring. If he'd been fully fit he probably wouldn't even have felt it.
"We decided to take him out for four or five days and settle down. We're hopeful he'll be available again for the Hibs game but the Hamilton game will come too quickly."

November 15 - December 30, 2012
Instructor: Sharron Gunn w/a Sheila Currie
The Scottish Highlands: 16th & 17th Centuries
Prereauisite: a love of and an interest in the Scottish Highlands
In the 16th & 17th centuries, the laws and customs of the Scottish Highlands were considered archaic; they were common in western Europe in the High Middle Ages, but had disappeared by the Renaissance. Highland chiefs were still inaugurated, not crowned, in ancient ceremonies and revered by their clansmen as quasi-sacred figures. A Highland assembly for justice in the 17th century resembled a Viking Thing of the 10th or 11th centuries. Secular marriage outside the church was normal. What really frightened Lowlanders and English was the chiefs' ability to raise a small army at little cost to themselves. The Jacobite Rebellions would have been impossible without clan armies. This course shows how life in the Highlands was different from the Lowlands and other parts of Great Britain and how similar to Ireland.
Instructor Bio:
Sharron lives in British Columbia, and teaches Scottish, Irish and medieval history part-time at university. While living over eight years in Europe, she studied the languages and history of Great Britain and France, and has a BA in French and an MA (2nd first degree) in Scottish History and Celtic Studies from the University of Glasgow. She is working on an historical fantasy set in WWII.

Finn is a red merle Australian shepherd puppy who brings joy, sunshine and chew sticks wherever she goes.
You can follow Finn's adventures on her Web site - http://www.thrashemono.com
Our beloved 14 year old rottweiler passed away in June 2014. w/in a month we knew we needed a 4 legged friend in our home once more, we really missed having one around. We searched through petfinder and decided we wanted an Australian Shepherd mix. We found one that we fell in love with right away! The rescue organization ended up stringing us along for 3 weeks before deciding that that they didnt want to adopt to a family with young kids (ours are 4 & 6). We were heartbroken. That night I looked on petfinder and a sweet little aussie mix popped up. His name was Finn which just happened to ...
The Cutest Puppy
My Mom is a red nosed pit bull, and my Dad is a pit and aussie mix...all I know is a male human came and got me so I could be a present for his human boy for something called Christmas? I am sure you will understand what that means...anyway, I love them very much because my life is great now...they give me treats and these little round yellow things that roll around and I chase them until I can't run anymore...then I get to sleep in my own bed!!! CRAZY HUH!!! I have a great new sister that kind of reminds me of Mom...what can I say, I LOVE IT HERE!!!
My wild child with the most luxurious fur is an awesome dog! He's very active, smart, and loves to get up in everyone's business. He does very well in obedience and catches on quickly to learning cues.

How to fix "Session timed out" error... Very frustrating for awhile, but all you have to do when your session is said to have timed out is: 1) Swipe down and click the "hamburger" options button and log out 2) Close the Garmin app by double clicking home button and swiping up 3) Restart the Garmin app on your phone and Strava Routes app on device 4) Log back in when prompted.

Keep getting Bluetooth error, even though my phone is connected. It just will not load the routes I have created. More crap software from Garmin! Really disappointed in their Face It app too!
Sorry, no statistics available yet.

Wiki Wiki Wiki @ Work
Sooo, I found myself pondering... how was I going to rebel and crush this process like a tin can before it ruined my next 2 weeks... and then it hit me! A Wiki! Back at the University of Michigan, I had set one up for a small class of about 10 students taught by Elliot Soloway. We used it for everything! So easy, so informal, so little process... it's also one of the reasons we all know and love Wikipedia!
So I started looking around Microsoft for Wiki solutions. The first I found was FlexWiki (and who says Microsoft hates open source!). It was okay, but didn't have all the bells and whistles that enterprise software requires. Then I remembered hearing about blog and wiki support in the next version of SharePoint (cool Channel9 video here). I did a little digging, and found out that we did indeed have a Dogfooding effort in effect. It took me all of about 5 minutes to set up a new Wiki (with proper permissions/restrictions and all) for my team.
When I raised the idea in my team meeting, I wasn't sure whether or not it would take. People usually fear change, and in the case of a Wiki, fear giving up control. Boy was I wrong! As soon as people started using this thing, it spread like wildfire. It's gotten to the point where we use the Wiki instead of email to have discussions. Hah. Now, instead of writing big Microsoft Word documents, we're jotting down notes left and right on a set of easily moldable dynamic web pages. Of course, we still use Word (and SharePoint's doc library) for official, version-controlled specs and other documents of an official nature (especially if we need to share them outside of our team and/or the company). But for the day-to-day stuff, the Wiki may be transforming the way we work.
So, mad props to the SharePoint team for their Wiki (and blog!) functionality in the next version of SharePoint. It's looking great, and I have no doubt that customers are gonna love it.

Adam, you sooooooooooo don't belong in the large corporate world :-)
- Zoli Erdos said...
btw., I meant that as a compliment...
- adamjh said...
Haha. You're probably right.
I'm forcing a blog down folks' throats over here for those conversations that seem to be had every month with a slightly different set of folks. Glad to see my manager and I are not the only folks crazy enough to try this 'newfangled' blog and wiki beta technology ;)
- Ed Kohler said...
That sounds like a move in the right direction. Do you have any tips on how you managed to get people to adapt to using the Wiki? Was everyone familiar with what a Wiki is? If not, how did you get that concept across to them?
- adamjh said...
Hey Ed - Great blog! (Subscribed!)
Not everyone on my team was familiar with what a Wiki is. The best way to get the concept across was "think Wikipedia, but about all things <our product>".
Believe me, people were skeptical. It's one thing to build an encyclopedia, it's another to use a Wiki (or a blog) as a development/collaboration tool.
One of the things that the SharePoint Wiki has going for it is lack of a steep learning curve. The wysiwyg editing interface really helps. So after a few hours of playing around, it seems that the biggest concerns people had weren't at all related to learning a new tool, but rather about maintaining order and organization (a problem Wikipedia faces too!).
Hope this helps!
- Ed Kohler said...
Yep, that helps a lot. My biggest concern with this type of application is the lack of group participation I'm anticipate.
The WYSIWYG interface sounds like a great feature. That definitely would lower the bar.
Thanks for the follow-up, and thanks for subscribing to our blog.

Writing spiders are beautiful denizens of the roadside and garden and beneficial.
Writing spiders are members of the genus Argiope, which includes rather large, brightly colored spiders found throughout the world. Most countries in tropical or temperate climates are home to one or more species. The name is from a Greek word meaning "silver-faced� because many Argiope spiders are silvery white around the eyes.
In North America, the most common member of the genus is Argiope aurantia commonly known as the black and yellow garden spider, zipper spider, corn spider or the writing spider, because it weaves a white pattern into its web similar to script.
The highly reflective white patterns are called stabilimentum. They play a role in attracting prey to the web, and may prevent its accidental destruction by large animals by rendering the otherwise transparent trap visible. The center of their large webs is two to three feet above the ground.
Writing spiders are active both day and night in our area. They often hunt during the day and construct or repair their webs after dark. Once a female finds a suitable site for her webs, she tends to stay there unless the web is frequently disturbed. Adult males roam in search of potential mates, but once they find a female they build small webs nearby and court her by plucking and vibrating her web.
After mating, the female lays her eggs, weaving her egg sac into the web. The sac contains between 400 and 1400 eggs. These eggs hatch in autumn, but the spiderlings overwinter in the sac and emerge during the spring. The egg sac is composed of multiple layers of silk and protects its contents from damage. Many species of insects and other spiders have been observed to parasitize the egg sacs.
Like almost all spiders, writing spiders are harmless to humans and handy in a garden since they eat insects. They are capable of consuming prey up to twice their size. They might bite if grabbed, but otherwise do not attack large animals. Their venom is not regarded as a serious medical problem for humans.
Legend has it that if you speak a name within their hearing, they will weave it into their web resulting in the death of the person named. In some areas, even looking at a writing spider is said to doom the observer.
Another legend states that you will die if a writing spider looks at you long enough to �count your teeth.�
"If you wish to thrive, let a spider stay alive,� is a saying that refers to all spiders.
A popular Cherokee tale credits Grandmother Spider with bringing light to the world �in the early times when everything was dark and no one could see because the sun was on the other side of the world.� The animals agreed that someone must go and steal some light. Possum and buzzard both tried and failed.
Finally, Grandmother Spider made a bowl of clay, and using her eight legs, rolled it to where the sun sat, weaving a web as she traveled across the sky. She placed the sun in the clay bowl, and rolled it home, following her web and traveling from east to west, bringing light with her as she came. The sun continued to follow that path daily from then on.
In several cultures, spiders are credited with saving the lives of great leaders. In the Torah, David, who later became King of Israel, hid in a cave from soldiers sent by King Saul. A spider crawled in and built a huge web across the entrance. The soldiers passed the cave by because the web was undisturbed and David was saved

Volunteers come from all walks of life, some of them are even movie stars. Actress, Torrey DeVitto has been volunteering with Mission Hospice for the past four years and also acts as an advocate for the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
"To most, death is an incredibly scary and taboo idea. Hospice provides a shoulder to lean on… and the important duty of easing the fears and doubts that naturally reside in our minds as we approach the end of our lifetime.
There is nothing I am more proud or passionate about than being a part of this work. It is a life-long commitment for me. A passion that I find to be more gratifying than anything I have ever known. My hope is to inspire others to join me in this fulfilling journey."

Vacation Time
I hate how I stay up late on nights that I actually should go to sleep early, and on nights that I can stay up as long as I gosh darn please, then I fall asleep way early. LAME. I'm highly ruminating pulling an all-nighter.
Dear body, I hate you and your condescending ways. Oooo, I'm so eager for this weekend. Lets just say I've been looking forward to it for approximately one month. Woo, finally.
My weekend as follows:
-Start my new Home Care and Hospice job
-Salt Lake City, with my home girl Morgan
-Movie Marathon with Adam
So... maybe my weekend doesn't sound as cool, once I wrote it out... Hhaha. Oh, well. I'm still stoked.
This has been bugging me for quite sometime now. Humor me please.
Scenario 1) You take a test, and you flunk it... you think, "Wow, that test was so hard; that professor is so stupid he never taught us anything on there, and he makes his tests' so hard."
Scenario 2) You take a test, and you ace it... you think, "Yeah, that test was so easy; I'm so smart, I'm the best, that professor is so easy."
I don't know what I'm trying to make you understand. I just hate how people blame the tests' and say there hard or easy. What I think it boils down to is how hard you study. I know, I know... common sense! But, there legitimately are people that blame the tests'... I may or may not be guilty of this :/ Haha.
Moving on, today I went to work and worked. (: (forgive me, I'm in a crazy mood, and when I'm in crazy moods I act a little more dorky than usual) Well, I'm starting to get the hang of things, and I know most the residents names and room numbers! Well, anyway I was getting a resident ready for bed, and I tripped over something (don't worry, I caught myself before it turned out tragic) the resident looked at me with a teasing face and said, "WASN'T ME!" Hahah I thought it was cute! (:
I'm off to go read my book that is just taunting me to read it! I'm such a nerd, that I asked Adam to start a book club with me... ***sigh* I've been trying to start one of those things for over a year now. Cross your fingers!

Exercise and Vasodilation Coronary Physiology in Aortic Stenosis
Study Questions:
What are the coronary physiological changes during exercise and hyperemia in the healthy heart and in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS)?
Simultaneous intracoronary pressure and flow velocity recordings were made in unobstructed coronary arteries of 22 patients with severe AS (mean effective orifice area, 0.7 cm2) and 38 controls; at rest, during supine bicycle exercise, and during hyperemia. Stress echocardiography was performed to estimate myocardial work. Wave intensity analysis was used to quantify waves that accelerate and decelerate coronary blood flow.
Despite greater myocardial workload in patients with AS compared to controls at rest (12,721 vs. 9,707 mm Hg/min–1, p = 0.003) and during exercise (27,467 vs. 20,841 mm Hg/min–1, p = 0.02), coronary blood flow was similar in both groups. Hyperemic coronary blood flow was less in AS compared to controls (2,170 vs. 2,716 cm/min–1, p = 0.05). Diastolic time fraction (the diastolic temporal fraction of the cardiac cycle) was greater in AS compared to controls, but minimum microvascular resistance was similar. With exercise and hyperemia, efficiency of perfusion improved in the healthy heart, demonstrated by an increase in the relative contribution of accelerating waves. In contrast, in AS, perfusion efficiency decreased due to augmentation of early systolic deceleration and an attenuated rise in systolic acceleration waves.
Invasive coronary physiological evaluation can be safely performed during exercise and hyperemia in patients with severe AS. Ischemia in AS is not related to microvascular disease; rather, it is driven by abnormal cardiac-coronary coupling.
Severe AS can manifest with exertional angina in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). These data suggest that the efficiency of the healthy heart improves during exercise and hyperemia due to an increase in the relative contribution of waves that accelerate flow, although the reverse was observed in AS due to an increase in the contribution of waves that decelerate flow. The inability to adequately augment coronary blood flow caused by a pathophysiological imbalance of forces accelerating and decelerating coronary blood flow in AS, and an impingement on diastolic perfusion time, presumably are responsible for ischemia in the absence of obstructive CAD among patients with AS.

Spector Jury Hangs
First of all, I certainly can understand why Judge Fidler didn't want a hung jury. This case lasted months, it was very costly, and consumed quite a bit of the Court's resources. That being said, the lengths he began going to to try and get a verdict went a little overboard. The notion of giving the jury a lesser of involuntary manslaughter during deliberations defied imagination - of course, he ended up not doing it, but the amount of press that it got clearly swayed some jurors into realizing that the judge wanted them to reach a verdict of guilty as to something.
From what I understand about the jury instruction the judge gave to the jury, and then withdrew, it appeared as if it was not a correct statement of the law. It may have been a correct statement of the law according to the prosecution's theory of the case vs. the defense's theory of the case. The prosecution's clear theory was that Spector shot Clarkson after putting the gun in her mouth - if it went off accidentally or on purpose it didn't matter, since putting it there was "implied malice," and therefore an act so dangerous to human life that the mere act of doing implies the person is acting with malice (as opposed to the gross negligence or recklessness that is required for involuntary manslaughter). The defense theory was that whoever put the gun into her mouth, Spector didn't pull the trigger, and hence, couldn't be held liable for murder. The problem is, in the abstract, one could be liable under implied malice for murder by putting a gun in someone's mouth even if you don't eventually pull the trigger. Such a scenario was never explored in this case, but giving a jury instruction that he must be not guilty if he didn't pull the trigger is an incorrect statement of the law. How a change in that instruction could've made the difference is beyond me, though. I can't imagine that there were guilty jurors out there who believe that she pulled the trigger.
The retrial is going to be as long and tedious as the first one. It's going to be a slog, and it's going to happen. There is no chance that the prosecution is going to offer Spector anything that he will take - it's too politically unpalatable. District Attorney Steve Cooley will look like a fool in public if he gives Spector anything in the single digits, and Spector, at nearly 70 years old, is not going to plead to double digit time. I just can't see this case settling, especially not with a 10-2 for guilty split. If this was one of my cases, we would settle it for about 12 years or so. That's not going to happen in this case.
Spector will probably get new lawyers. From their perspective, they've just done a great job. They hung the case, they got on TV every day, it is a boon to their career. There's almost no uphill from here, unless they win it next time (not too likely to happen, in light of the split and juror comments in this case). Reality speaking - they're gone.
For the rest of us defense lawyers, I think this is a bad thing. This perpetuates the misconception that prosecutors can't win a fair fight, and that laws need to be changed to deal with it. I'm sure that this will fuel another round of pushing for non-unanimous jurors (the "Phil Spector law?"), and also to keep cases off TV. But, more than anything, it makes future jurors think that every defense lawyer has some trick up his sleave to try and get his obviously guilty client off, and that they should not be trusted. The net result of that means that, sure as day turns into night, there will be more innocent people getting convicted by more overly skeptical jurys. And that's a bad thing, especially for us public defenders who represent the most downtrodden in society. But, I survived OJ, I'll survive this.

I somewhat disagree with some of your post. I know that Spector will "hurt us in the long run" just like every other high-profile case that comes along hurts the defense. If he loses, it proves that they're all guilty. If he wins, it's just money talking. I believe that the Blake trial represented the epitomy of reasonable doubt - I think he did it, but there are just too many flakey witnesses and just enough reasonable doubt (actually more than enough) to prevent a conviction.
We have a coviction-minded media just waiting to say how guilty everyone is. But the truth is far more complex - the prosecution was not pushing this case to trial for the simple reason that they knew that they had problems. Where is the blood on Spector's hands, if he fired the gun?
Yes, there were little droplets on his shirt, but not on the sleeves and not on his hands. Why? Simple explanation: he didn't pull the trigger. Not one prosecution expert could clearly state that he pulled the trigger. Andnot one forensic expert could clearly explain the lack of blood. The reason the jury was so close to convicting was the 1101(b)/1109 evidence, which shouldn't have come in in the first place. Fidler did Spector no favors along the way - allowing those incidents was unfair and simply poisoned the jury from being fair.
The simple conclusion that I came to after looking at the evidence, and I'm sure that at least some of the jurors came to the same conclusion, is that Spector pulled the gun on the victim, and perhaps even put the gun in her mouth, but then she committed suicide. He basically was backing up when she pulled the trigger. Then Spector freaks and tries to clean the scene. That is the most logical explanation. And I don't see murder in those circumstances.
As to the instruction, it was unfair for Fidler to withdraw the instruction in the first place. He agreed to it. It made the clear point that, esentially, the prosecution argued it this way, therefore you have to believe their case beyond a reasonable doubt. They didn't argue any other way (Spector put the gun in her mouth and pulled the trigger). The prosecution obviously saw that if they argued just about anything else, they would lose credibility with the jury. When Fidler then came up with alternate scenarios, and even listed hypotheticals, hypos that the DA NEVER EVEN ARGUED, it is a wonder that Spector wasn't convicted then and there. Talk about improper! If both sides are repeatedly arguing over X, but then the judge says, oh by the way, you can decide the case based on Y, Z, or Q, then you bet that the jury is likely to jump at Y, Z or Q. It took the civil engineer to see through this stuff and hold to the law.
My prediction: without a change of venue, I believe that Spector will hang again. An NG is going to be tough if the prior women come in again, solely because it makes Spector look bad. If the DA brings in the statement, then Spector can testify, which might not be a bad thing in the long run. Although, I'm pretty sure that the reason he was kept off the stand in the first place is because he's a foul-mouthed alkie who would make a lousy witness.

And people like Jay Leno just assume guilt and then shoot off their mouths making jokes about California juries. The facts are that California juries are all too eager to convict despite the evidence - but only if the defendant isn't a cop (in which case the presumption of innocence reigns supreme over the facts). Shame on all of them.

Tips for Securing Your Cargo SafelyPolyester webbing
We've all seen trucks and tractor trailers that look like they may be moments away from losing their loads all over the highway, but most of us are lucky enough to have never seen it happen. An unsecured load is a dangerous thing, and nobody knows that better than Maria Federici, who was left without her senses of sight, smell, or taste after a piece of furniture flew off a U-Haul in front of her and crashed through her windshield.
No driver wants to be responsible for that kind of damage, not only because of the obvious damage done to Miss Federici, but because of the major legal ramifications many states now have in place for drivers who fail to secure their loads. Fortunately, avoiding an accident is as simple as preparing your load carefully with the best tie downs and tie straps. Here are our bes

Tommy's key message:
"Forget radio. Forget TV. Forget who is the interviewer and who is the interviewee. All you have to do is pretend that the interviewer is someone who is sitting next to you on the plane. That's it. You should have the exact same kind of conversation as you would have on that plane. Because that's all a great interview is, it's a great conversation."
It seems so simple, but many people are unaware of this basic technique and of other tips that are equally simple to learn and adopt.
Whether you're the eager beaver owner of a small business, a seasoned entrepreneur selling a product or service, a volunteer promoting a great cause, or an author promoting yourself, the simple techniques and tips outlined in this book will turn you into the guest they beg to come back.
All interviewers have an agenda. The newspaper reporter wants information. Preferably information that no one else has. The TV reporter wants you to look good and be entertaining, The radio interviewer doesn't care what you look like, but he or she is praying you will be entertaining – that the interview will be so gripping that a listener, late for an appointment, will nonetheless sit there in his parked car because he cannot tear himself away from hearing what you have to say.
Is this even possible? It's easy if you have the right tools.
Money-back Guarantee: The author is so convinced that his techniques will work that he is willing to make this personal no-hassle money-back guarantee to the reader: "If after trying his suggestions for three months, you have not improved your ability to communicate and hype what you want to sell, just return the book with your proof of purchase and you will get the purchase price cheerfully returned to you."
