I heard that a class action lawsuit against Oreck Vacuum is being started because of all the problems customers are having with their vacuums. Does anyone know about this?

I feel like I got the old run-around, when the service tech told me he couldn't find anything wrong (but replaced the burned up belt

Tom Cruise is in talks to star in Doug Liman's sci-fi war thriller "We Are Mortals" at Warner Bros. Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's 2004 novel "All You Need is Kill", the story follows a new recruit sent out to fight off an alien invasion and finding himself in a Groundhog Day-esque scenario of dying on the battlefield and being reborn each day.
Five months into this cycle though, he notices something different than the previous versions – a female soldier who may be the key to his escape. Dante Harper adapted the script.
Brad Pitt had previously been offered the role in the "Groundhog Day-meets-Halo" film. No production schedule has yet been set.

On Wednesday evening I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Benefit Blogger Christmas Event... oh yes, Christmas - full of fairy lights, songs, drinks, bloggers and makeup. Talk about heaven!
We were greeted by Gemma, the stunning Digital Media co-ordinator for Benefit (Hello, my perfect job). She made sure everyones drink was full all night, we all love her for that. I finally got to meet the fabulous Mark, Benefits leading Makeup Artist, who talked us through all of the recent releases and Christmas sets - will have a post with more information on them plus an exclusive look at a new product over the weekend!
Once we learned about all the gorgeous gifts Benefit have to offer this year, it was time for the party to begin. Benefit had a hilarious comedian for us and then we played some games, chatted and enjoyed the evening. It was lovely to see some blogger friends again and to meet some new bloggers too. I had a great evening, the Benefit team are all so lovely and welcoming and they sent us off with the cutest goodie box with Benefits Spy Girl Marvel magazine & "How to Look the Best at Everything".
They have so many fab Christmas sets out this year jam packed with all their best sellers. Some of my favourites are Fast Train to Fabulous, Sexy Little Stowaways, Let There Be Bright, High Flying Glosses and Perk Up and Away.I already have Sexy Little Stowaways and Let There Be Bright down on my Christmas Wish List. They really have loads to choose from and something that suits everyone. Check out Benefits website for even more gifts. What do you have your eye on for Christmas?
Sneak Peek - Fine One One Blush "You have the right to get gorgeous"
A brand new cream blush called "Fine One One" from Benefit is hitting shelves January 2013 so unfortunately we have to wait to get our hands on this beauty. It's a lot different to Benefits Boxed Blushers & Bronzers, this is a cream blush with three shades in one; Warm Pink Blush, Coral Blush and a Highlighter. It has the cutest push up stick packaging so it's really easy to apply. Mark suggested rolling it onto your cheeks so that it kind of blends together while applying product which is great. Mark demoed the product on my chipmunk cheeks, I tend to stay away from blushes but this was just gorgeous. The three colours blend together so nicely and is buildable. It's also very diverse, Mark not only used it on my cheeks, but on my lips and used the highlighter on my brow bone and cupids bow. I have a feeling this is going to fly of the shelves so make sure you're first to get it come January! What do we think? Will you be saving some sale money and buying this?

My, some entrepreneurial types sure are clever and quick. Over the last few days, it's become clear that among the certainties in life, here's one: No matter if it's the wedding of the world's most famous couple or the killing of the world's most notorious terrorist, a big event is an opportunity for somebody to make money.
Online scammers jumped into action almost immediately after getting the news of bin Laden's death, reports the LA Times. No official videos or photos of bin Laden's body have been released, but that hasn't stopped millions of people from searching for them online. And cyber criminals are doing their best to scam those millions of searchers—often, redirecting them to web pages where they could unknowingly download malicious software. In one scam, a fake BBC Facebook page purportedly linked to video of the killing.
The takeaway: Unless you're 100% certain a site is legit, don't enter your credit card number or download anything. That goes if you're curious to learn about a terrorist's demise, you want the inside scoop on a royal wedding, or you're trying to help victims of a tsunami or some other disaster. The scammers are out there, and they're quicker than ever.
Meanwhile, USA Today rounds up some of the many, many T-shirts, coffee mugs, ties, bumper stickers, and even dog clothing that have been specially designed to mark—and often, mock—bin Laden's death.
Here's one example from Zazzle, where consumers design their own original ideas. This one manages to combine bin Laden's death with another recent fascination, Charlie Sheen:
Here's another, a popular stick figure design for $20 from tshirthell.com:
One of the OBL-themed many baseball hats designed at Zazzle:
And next to the "One-of-a-Kind Mother's Day Gifts" at CafePress are items like this onesie:
This color is called petal pink. It also comes in sky blue, kiwi (green), and white. Take your pick, $15.
Also available as a maternity shirt ($28).

The monument to the Russian sailors who helped the inhabitants of the Italian city of Messina after the great earthquake of 1908. Maybe it is not a great monument in itself, but it celebrates a gratitude still felt after more than a century.
"The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!" is the title of a wonderful 1966 US movie that tells the story of a Soviet submarine which runs aground off New England during the cold war. Some sailors are sent inland for help and the result is a series of misunderstandings nearly leading to a bloody fight. Eventually, however, all ends well with the Russians and the Americans cooperating to save a little boy who falls from the bell tower of the island.
The story of the movie is eerily suggestive of a historical episode that saw Russian sailors really landing to help a population in distress. It was after the great Earthquake of Messina, in Sicily, which struck the town on Dec 28th, 1908 and caused maybe 200,000 victims. It was probably the most disastrous earthquake in modern history.
The scale of the destruction caused by the Earthquake was so large that the contacts of the mainland with the city of Messina were lost for a few days and the Italian government was slow in sending a relief force. For at least a couple of days, the survivors of the earthquake were helped only by an international force, mainly composed of the sailors of four Russian military ships that happened to be cruising nearby.
British and German ships also provided help and, subsequently, the Italian navy took over with a large relief effort. Still, it seems that the Russians did a lot and with great good will. We have little detail of the events of those confused first days, but some surviving documents of the time tell us much about the gratitude of the survivors. One note sent to the Russian consulate by the Pira family says, "Jesus is with Russia, thank you!"
The Russian intervention was so much appreciated by the inhabitants of Messina that, shortly after the earthquake, the city enacted a decree that dedicated a square of the town to the Russian sailor and planned to build a monument to them.
A curious angle of this story is that my wife's family is from Messina and her relatives told me several times how difficult it was for their grandparents to survive the great quake of 1908. I don't know if they were directly helped by Russian sailors, but it may very well be that my life would have been different if they hadn't been there.
Thank you for having come, Russians!

Supermodel, co-host of TV's The Face and all-around Canadian beauty, Coco Rocha, is taking center stage/tabletop for White House Black Market's Spring 2013 ad campaign.
Dancing her way through six head-to-toe workwear looks from the White House Black Market WorkKit Collection, Coco brings a sense of vibrancy and freshness to an otherwise static, robotic work environment. Photographer and director Ellen Von Unwerth captures the images for the spring collection, which stresses an easily swappable modular wardrobe based on a minimalistic palette of black, white and the introduction of one other colour each season (this time being fuchsia).
Noticeably, Coco's hair is back to brunette, but regardless, she still appears fierce and fiery as she shimmies around the sterile set. Did you know that she has a background in Irish clogging and was actually scouted at one of her dance competitions? That explains a lot.
For last season's White House Black Market ad campaign, she stunned us all by tapping like a pro, shifting outfits while never missing a step. Since the campaign has done so well — and since we love watching models dance — Black Market asked her back. Now, the just-released video created and produced by New York-based creative agency ceft and company, under the creative direction of Ucef Hanjani, proves she's still got the moves like Jagger, and can quite effortlessly make like Billy Idol and dance with herself. Check it out below and let us know what you think of a) the dancing, b) the clothing, or c) all of the above.

Enough to Go Around
Enough to Go Around
July 2011
July has been a very busy month for the DPG team, which explains the infrequent blog posts. However, it has been a good busy to say the least. Before I discuss my writing, I'd like to briefly synopsize the rental market at present. By food group, we will touch on: multifamily, commercial & office property. And as I suggested in the title of this post, there is enough to go around.
Multifamily Housing
Occupancy rates are up, rental activity is up and although the economic outlook is bleak, our existing & market rental rates are rising simply due to the stable demand for rental housing in Orange County. Even with the low interest rates & depressed market values of single family housing, the barrier to entry remains too high for most would be homeowners. The result: increased rental income, downward trending capitalization rates and cash heavy investors looking to acquire additional assets.
Commercial activity has come on strong and in fact, we have a waiting list nearly five slots deep for most of our space. Back from the dead has come the restaurant, small business retailer or other such boutique tenant that had all but disappeared the previous 3.5 years. Realize that my use of the word "strong" in the aforementioned description is used in the same manner in which you would describe a homerun hitter breaking out of a slump with a steady string of 1 for 4 games. Not thriving by any means, but certainly showing signs of life. Right now, there is big upside in the commercial market.
With terms such as "centralized hub", "in the cloud" and "e-commute" becoming increasingly popular, it is no wonder the office market is so complex at present. Here, the word complex translates to "variable demand". New Gen-Y tenants are opting for less space and more technology. As such, the mid-sized space is perhaps the most difficult sell, and by mid-sized space I mean above 2,000 square feet, the demand for very small space or 250 to 500 square feet could not be hotter. It would appear as though many a savvy manager or owner have identified this trend and begun to wall up and dress down some of the larger, more sexy space previously occupied by a range of professional businesses from mortgage companies to attorneys to physicians, etc. Now is a great time to shop for office space, both for lease and purchase. Simply put, with leases on a discount, you are buying on a discount. If you have cash and like Orange County, office space is where you SHOULD be looking.
In a nutshell, you are up to date on the multifamily, commercial and office property types as of July 31, 2011. I can talk about student housing as well, but that's a whole 'nother beast. And while I have not been active on the blog, I have been working on the following:
– Apartment News Magazine: Article published in August 2011 issue entitled "Thriving in Turbulent Times"
– Journal of Property Management: Article (and feature article at that!) will run in the November/December 2011 issue
highlighting Due Diligence.
– Winning Property Management Strategies- My new book has been completed and is in print. More info once it is widely
available and past the "peer review" stage.
– I have been tapped to speak at two national, commercial real estate conferences in the fall.
On that note…
My first book "The Four Benefits: Commercial Real Estate Investing & You" has been officially published by the Institute of Real Estate Management here: http://www.irem.org/acb/stores/1/_font_color_FF0000_NEW_fo_P23743C1.cfm
But, I would much rather have you purchase it on your kindle or e-reader by clicking here:
I should point out that this a very stimulating beach read. And if you implement what I teach you, you will be able to spend more time on the beach, more time on vacation and less time dealing with the minutiae of the day-to-day grind. How's that for a guarantee?

Build a Face Recognition Application
Budget ₹1500-12500 INR
I am trying to build a face recognition application. It would be deployed in large retail outlets or in shopping malls.
The application will be a website. It will access the camera from the browser. Whenever a face comes in front of the camera, the application will grab the image of the face and using the AWS rekognition API it will check if the user is already present in our DB or not. If he is a repeat customer then the app will show the details of the user on the screen. If he/she is a new customer then the application will pop a form to register the new customer so that he/she can be recognized in future visits.
It must be built in python and must be hosted as web service in amazon aws.
Thank You

2 Peter 3, 1 John 1-2
Supplemental notes for the Daily Bible Study Bible Reading Plan2 Peter Chapter 3
by Wayne Blank
Peter (see Peter's Ministry) concludes his second epistle (see Epistles) with a stark prophecy (that is found throughout the Scriptures, Old and New Testament - see the study links within this chapter) of what is coming upon all that is evil in the world: "3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men" (2 Peter 3:7 KJV). Why? "3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13 KJV).
Peter's reference to "new heavens and a new earth" was not merely speculation by Peter. Long after Peter was martyred, Jesus Christ described the same thing, "new heaven and a new earth," to the apostle John for his writing of the Book of Revelation (see What Does 'Apocalypse' Really Mean?). When all has been completed, the entire earth will be flooded with fire, just as it once was with water, long enough to purify it in preparation for God's coming: "21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:1-4 KJV; see The Throne Of God, From Heaven To Earth).
"3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds [see A Pure Heart, Conscience and A Brainwashed World] by way of remembrance: 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy Prophets, and of the commandment of us the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
1 John Chapter 1
The apostle John's first epistle may have been written while he was at Ephesus, either before or after (probably before) the time that he was taken (i.e. when The Lord allowed him to be taken) prisoner by the Romans and held on The Island Of Patmos (Ephesus, which became a major Christian center after Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, was located on the west coast of Turkey, while Patmos was an island offshore - see the map below). Some believe that John remained in Jerusalem for many years, perhaps until the natural death of Mary before 70 AD (Mary was born approximately 20 BC; see Aunt Mary), but certainly no later than 70 AD when the city was completely destroyed by the Romans (see Fall of Jerusalem In 70 A.D., Titus Vespasianus and Pella).
"1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life [see The Author of Life]; 1:2 For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us; 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1:4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full." (1 John 1:1-4 KJV)
All humans are sinners; that's why a Savior was required (see Why Blood?). It's even a sin, a violation of the Commandment Thou shalt not bear false witness, to claim to not be a sinner: "1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8 KJV).
"1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God Is Light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin [see Christ's Mercy Seat].
1 John Chapter 2
For those who believe that The Lord's Ten Commandments are "done away" (see Grace Into Licentiousness), John has a very plain answer: "2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him" (1 John 2:3-4 KJV). See How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 1, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 2, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 3, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 4, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 5, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 6, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 7, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 8, How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 9 and How To Be A True Christian - Lesson 10.
"2:1 My little children [see Spiritual Conception and Born Again, How and When?], these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous [see What Is Jesus Christ Doing Right Now?]: 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Do not love the world as it is, because it is still Satan's world (see Who Still Rules The World Today? and The End Of The World?). Those who love it will perish with it.
"2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:15-17 KJV)
John answers the question about Many Antichrists?
"2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 2:19 They went out from us [see Falling Away], but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Costa Diadema set for November christening
The christening event of Costa Diadema, the new flagship of Costa Cruises, will be held in Genoa on November 7th 2014.
Genoa, where Costa Cruises was founded and has its headquarters, will host local dignitaries, industry representatives plus Costa Diadema guests who will be able to book their participation at the event and either the vernissage cruise, departing from Trieste on November 1st, or the official inaugural cruise, departing from Savona on November 8th.
The christening event of Costa Diadema reasserts Costa's attachment to Genoa, where the company is expanding its presence by opening new offices for about 250 employees in Piazza Piccapietra, close to the present headquarters of Costa Crociere.
The new offices will be open for business in summer 2014.
Costa Diadema is currently being built at Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera (Venice) and will be delivered on October 30th 2014.
The flagship's debut will last one month and include the vernissage cruise on November 1st, the christening event on November 7th and three inaugural cruises on November 8th, 15th and 22nd.
The new flagship will be exclusively sailing within the Mediterranean as Costa's 'Regina del Mediterraneo' (Queen of the Mediterranean).
The vernissage cruise will start on November 1st from Trieste, where the ship will stay until 13:00 the following day, and then call at Dubrovnik, Corfu, Malta, Naples and finally Genoa on November 7th in time for the Christening event.
After the vernissage, from November 8th Costa Diadema will depart for three seven-day inaugural cruises in the western Mediterranean Sea which will include stopovers at Savona, Marseille, and Barcelona with additional calls at Palma de Mallorca, Naples and La Spezia with the chance to visit two of the most popular Italian cities in a single cruise – Florence and Naples.
Costa Cruises has invested a total of around €550 million in the construction of Costa Diadema at the Finantieri shipyards in Marghera.
The project is employing approximately 1,000 shipyard workers plus another 2,500 employees of allied industries.
The benefits in terms of employment extend beyond the yard, particularly with regards to the fitting-out of the ship's interiors by around 400 contracted suppliers, most of which are Italian firms.

Wyoming: 2017 College Basketball Invitational Champions
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Hayden Dalton scored 19 points with 11 rebounds and Justin James added 17 points to carry Wyoming to an 83-59 win over Coastal Carolina to claim the CBI championship on Friday.
Dalton sank 5 of 9 from long range in notching his 12th double-double of the season. Wyoming (23-15) won the last two games -- at home -- by 24 points each in the best-of-three College Basketball Invitational finals series after dropping the opener by 10 on the road.
It was Wyoming's first major postseason title since winning the 1943 NCAA championship.
Coastal Carolina (20-19) was led by Demario Beck with 17 points, while Jaylen Shaw had 10.
Dalton, who was scoring 12.1 per game, had only 27 combined in the previous four games in the CBI but tallied his highest total since garnering 21 against Fresno State on Feb. 8.
"I took the same shots last game and they were falling this game," he said. "My teammates had confidence in me. They just said, `Keep shooting."
Wyoming was outshot and outrebounded in the first game, a 91-81 loss, but turned the tables in both categories at home and also reduced its turnovers to seven after 15 giveaways in each of the first two contests.
"Taking care of the ball, rebounding and guarding. That's what we did for these last two games," James said.
Bringing a national championship to Laramie for the first time in 74 years is special, he said.
"Feels amazing," James said. "Not a lot of people get to end their season off with a win. For us to do that is amazing." And with all but two seniors returning next year? "We'll be ready to play, just know that."
One senior, Jason McManamen, finished with two more 3s to put his school record at 210. His 1,034 career points is fourth-most for a Wyoming product.
Wyoming coach Allen Edwards said the difference in elevation was a factor: Laramie is 7,220 feet above sea level. Coastal Carolina's home in Conway, S.C. is 33 feet. With that in mind, he pushed the tempo.
"We wanted to fatigue them a little bit," he said. "And throughout the game you saw Coach (Cliff) Ellis take a few timeouts just to give his guys some rest."
Ellis was without injured starter Colton Ray-St Cyr for the second straight game. Shivaughn Wiggins, the point guard all season, played for the first time in three weeks but was ineffective. Beck and Shaw had nagging injuries as well.
"We didn't shoot the ball well. We weren't patient enough," Ellis said. "(Wyoming) played extremely well. This is a tough out, here. We had some injuries. We're not going to use that as an excuse. Their 3-point shooting is just immaculate. "
Wyoming shot 35 percent from the arc (13 of 37) while Coastal Carolina sank only 19 percent (4 of 21).
The Chanticleers, who never led, closed within 44-34 after a 3-pointer by Joseph Williams-Powell from the top of the key with 15:37 to play. But James' layup and a trey by Dalton ignited an 18-7 roll that left the Cowboys ahead 62-41.
The Chanticleers never got closer than 18 after that, and the lead eventually reached 81-51 late.
Wyoming closed the first half on a 22-4 surge as Dalton hit a trio of 3s, snared five rebounds and dished out an assist during the run, which left the Cowboys up 42-23.
A flagrant 1 foul by Williams-Powell on Wyoming's Louis Adams seemed to spark the Cowboys. It came moments after Williams-Powell's jumper drew the Chanticleers within 20-19.
Coastal Carolina will lose four seniors.
TCU: 2017 National Invitation Tournament Champions
NEW YORK -- Brandon Parrish sat at the podium, wearing a commemorative t-shirt and a net draped around his neck. To his right was coach Jamie Dixon. On his left was Kenrich Williams.
Parrish made sure to savor the moment.
"We have something that's forever," he said. "Nobody can ever take this away from us."
Williams had 25 points and 12 rebounds, and TCU routed Georgia Tech 88-56 in the NIT championship on Thursday night. The junior guard, who missed last season because of a knee injury, went 8 for 14 from the field and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
"We knew he was a good player," Dixon said. "We've found better ways to use him in even better situations where we're even more comfortable and to be honest, he was out of about a year and a half. He's just now getting his legs under him and getting game-like conditions. You're seeing the numbers that he's putting up. His play down the stretch has been unbelievable."
TCU opened with a 20-3 run on its way to the program's first NIT title. Vlad Brodziansky scored 18 points for the Horned Frogs (24-15), and Alex Robinson had 10 points and 11 assists.
Tadric Jackson led Georgia Tech (21-16) with 19 points. Josh Okogie had 12 points and six rebounds.
"We played to the last buzzer," Georgia Tech senior Quinton Stephens said. "We stuck together. We stayed with the way we need to play.
"It was bigger than us. We knew bigger things were coming and this is only the beginning."
It was the first meeting between the programs since Dec. 21, 1967, and No. 3 overall. And it mostly belonged to TCU, which never trailed.
The Horned Frogs led 38-27 at halftime, and it was more of the same in the second half. Williams and Brodziansky threw down thunderous dunks, and Williams knocked down a 3 to help push the advantage to 54-39.
"They punched us first," Stephens said. "We put ourselves in a little bit of a hole."
TCU shot 51 percent (35 for 68) from the field and held Georgia Tech to 35.7 percent (20 for 56) shooting. The Yellow Jackets also committed 17 turnovers, leading to 28 points for TCU, and the Horned Frogs also had 21 second-chance points.
"In a high-level game you can't do that," said Josh Pastner, who took over as Georgia Tech's coach last April. "We had too many turnovers and they gave up too many second chances."
The lead grew to 69-49 on Williams' breakaway jam with 6:44 left. Desmond Bane tacked on a 3 from in front of the TCU bench, helping kick off the celebration for the Horned Frogs.
Dixon emptied his bench in the final minutes, and reserve Josh Parrish had a breakaway windmill jam in the final seconds.
"I've always known my brother was so bouncy," Brandon Parrish said with a laugh. "To be able to see him come off the bench after 39 minutes and be able to jump up there and do a windmill, it was just phenomenal for us to be able to share this moment."
The 32-point win matches the largest margin of victory in NIT championship game history. Bradley set the record in 1964 with an 86-54 rout of New Mexico.
Georgia Tech: Despite the loss, it was a successful season for the Yellow Jackets. A program Pastner referred to as a "major rebuild job" as recently as Tuesday won 21 games and competed in a national postseason tournament. "I promise you," Pastner said after the game. "To be playing in this final game, it's miraculous."
TCU: Dixon improved to 28-15 all-time at Madison Square Garden.
The Yellow Jackets did not have a field goal until Ben Lammers' jumper 5:03 into the game. Prior to Lammers' basket, Georgia Tech was 0 for 6 from the field and had committed four turnovers.
"We dug ourselves a hole and we totally were trying to climb out of it the entire evening," Pastner said. "It just made it hard on us and we just could never really get over that hump or get it close enough."

Adelaide Crows: 2017 AFL Women's Premiers
ADELAIDE has defied the odds to create history as the first NAB AFLW premier.
The Crows fought off a late challenge to upset previously unbeaten favourites the Brisbane Lions by six points in a tense Grand Final at Metricon Stadium on Saturday.
Adelaide won 4.11 (35) to 4.5 (29).
Brilliantly led by co-captains Erin Phillips and Chelsea Randall, the visitors controlled the contest for three quarters before the Lions crept within five points in a desperate last-quarter fling at victory.
After being outplayed for most of the contest, the Lions threw everything into the final term and a mark and goal from Tayla Harris cut the margin to inside a goal. But the Crows stood firm, limiting the home team's scoring chances with an extra player behind the ball for most of the game.
Phillips was inspirational and ran herself to exhaustion, finishing with an impressive 28 possessions and two vital third-quarter goals that set up the scoreboard buffer.
And Randall did a crucial stopper job at full-back on the dangerous Harris, keeping the high-leaping Lion kickless in the first half.
Harris even moved to the wing at the start of the second half to try to get into the contests and she had a spell on the interchange bench early in the third quarter.
It was a stunning triumph for Crows coach Bec Goddard, who has all the players at her disposal only on game-day, with a large group of the list based in Darwin during the week.
Adelaide grabbed the early lead with two freakish goals in the opening term, unlikely snapshots from tight angles that were gold in a low-scoring contest.
It was virtually the first play of the game when Crow Kellie Gibson ran onto a loose ball and snapped around the body on the run from 35m for the perfect start.
And Deni Varnhagen added another from the opposite pocket, this time a left-foot snapshot from near the boundary line for only her second goal of the season.
Considering the Crows' inside 50 domination, they should have taken a far greater advantage than six points into the main break.
Their system was superior in the first half, based on the midfield grunt of Phillips and the ability to get numbers back when the Lions started a surge out of the backline.
But Adelaide squandered the second-term control, managing only 0.6 from so many chances inside their forward half. The lopsided inside 50 count, with the Crows' leading 26-11 in the first half, emphasised their impressive work-rate but poor return.
It was a goal against the run of play from Jessica Wuetschner in the second quarter that kept Brisbane in touch in a defence-dominated contest.
The Lions finally found their share of the contested ball in the last quarter and threatened to send the match into overtime. But the determined Crows were not going to let their earlier hard work go to waste and held on until the final siren.
Blink and you missed it
The Crows couldn't have scripted a more perfect start to their Grand Final campaign. From the opening bounce, Courtney Cramey fired a long clearing kick from the congestion inside the 50m arc. Kellie Gibson outsprinted her opponent to grab the loose ball and threw it onto the right boot from 35m on a tight angle for a superb team-lifting goal.
Got the job done
Defenders often get overlooked for their diligent shutdown work and Crow Chelsea Randall and Lions counterpart Leah Kaslar certainly earned high praise. Randall didn't give Lions high-flyer Tayla Harris a sniff of the ball for three quarters, condemning her to a spell on the interchange bench in the third term. And Kaslar was equally gallant, keeping Crows cult forward Sarah Perkins goalless.
Marquee magic
Lions ruckman Sabrina Frederick-Traub did everything in her power to get her team over the line. The West Australian marquee pick underlined her skills with a brilliant mark against the flight of the ball in the second quarter. She spun around and broke free, took two bounces and was crunched after firing a long kick forward. Teammate Jessica Wuetschner benefited from the relayed free kick to boot her second goal to keep the Lions in touch.
History repeats
The romance of Adelaide's women's team winning a premiership on the 20-year anniversary of the same feat by the male counterparts wasn't lost on defender Tailia Radan. Radan remembers, as an eight-year-old, having her Crows jumper signed by forward Matthew Robran after training at Football Park during the 1997 AFL Grand Final week. To fly to the Gold Coast to seek the first premiership flag was no chore for nine of the 27-woman squad based in Darwin who travelled every week of the inaugural NAB AFLW season. The Darwin girls are estimated to have flown more than 45,000km during the seven-week home-and-away season, including two induction camps.

Meghan Chase has never fit in at her small-town high school, and now, on the eve of her 16th birthday, she discovers why. When her half brother is kidnapped, Meghan is drawn into a fantastical world she never imagined--the world of Faery, where anything you see may try to eat you, and Meghan is the daughter of the summer faery king. Now she will journey into the depths of Faery to face an unknown enemy . . . and beg the help of a winter prince who might as soon kill her as let her touch his icy heart. The Iron King is the first book in the Iron Fey series. (from GoodReads)
A day late and a dollar short is definitely how I feel in trying to review Julie Kagawa's The Iron King. I have heard so many raves about this book from the blogosphere that I felt I really needed to read it for myself and decide if all the praise was earned. What I found was a lovely book with luscious descriptions, an imaginative alternative universe, and some unfortgettable characters.
The first characteristic that impressed me was Kagawa's evocative and poetic prose. Her descriptions bring the world of the Faery sharply into focus through stunning sensory details and figurative language. For example when Meghan first enters Nevernever she describes ...
Enormous trees, so thick and tangled I couldn't see the sky through the branches. A curling mist crept along the ground, and the woods were dark and still as if the forest was trapped in perpetual twilight. Here and there brilliant splashes of color stood out among the gray. A patch of flowers, their petals a shocking electric-blue, waved gently in the mist ... A warm breeze blew into the closet, carrying with it a shocking assortment of smells—smells that should not be together in one place. Crushed leaves and cinnamon, smoke and apples, fresh earth, lavender, and the faint, cloying scent of rot and decay. For a moment, I caught a tang of something metallic and coppery, wrapped around the smell of rot but it was gone in the next breath. Clouds of insects swarmed overhead, and if I listened hard I could almost imagine I heard singing. The forest was still at first, but I then caught movement deep in the shadows, and heard leaves rustle all around us. Invisible eyes seemed to watch me from every angle, boring into my skin.
Kagawa's vivid descriptions occur through out the book, but they do not overwhelm the reader to the point of boredom. Instead they are carefully positioned between dialogue and action allowing the reader to experience surprise and wonder at the rich alternative universe that is an important backdrop for the plot.
In addition to The Iron King's dazzling setting, Kagawa also delivers an assortment of wonderfully, diverse characters some of which should be familiar to anyone with knowledge of Shakespeare's comedy, Midsummer Night's Dream. Robbie Goodfellow, as the name suggests turns out to be Puck, the mischievous prankster sent to protect Meghan from those who would use her to gain power over Oberon, the fey king and Meghan's real father. Puck's presence in the story provides comic relief that is missed when he is absent from the action. Puck is also an important ally to Meghan as she faces a multitude of obstacles on her quest. I especially like the scene when Puck turns into a horse and ends up throwing Meghan into a tree. This was a very imaginative way for Kagawa to introduce Grimalkin, a grey cat, who also becomes Meghan's ally, and is one of my favorite characters. Grimalkin has a superior intellect and frequently disappears and reappears (not unlike the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland). Grimalkin agrees to help Meghan find Puck and becomes another of her allies. Then of course there is the Prince Ash, Queen Mab's youngest. Dark, handsome and coldly aloof, Prince Ash definitely is a love interest that I predict will heat up in the next book. Finally, there is Meghan whose strength, as the protagonist, is in her single mindedness towards rescuing her half brother and her ability to enlist the help of other characters in the book. However, I think Meghan has the potential to become a truly dynamic character as she grows more secure in her acceptance of being half-fey and realizes her fey powers.
Kagawa's faerie world is richly detailed and the threat facing Meghan is much bigger than just the recovery of her half-brother. The plot is complex and lays a firm foundation for what could be an extraordinary series, which I for one am eager to read. I greatly admire the obvious research Kagawa did on the faerie realm and the unique ways she intertwined a variety of mythological creatures to populated her version of this world. If you have not yet read The Iron King, I urge you to put this one on the top of your must read list today because I believe that the series is only going to get better. Book two, Iron Daughter, is due to be released August 1.

Everybody loves the wonderful Great British Bake Off, right? I do, and I had a plan to spend ten weeks setting myself my own Bake-Off challenges based loosely on the challenges set in the marquee. Week One was cake week. Of course, I then immediately failed, because by setting myself a one per week timetable, I didn't stick to it. Even if I did bake every week, I certainly didn't post about it!
So here we are with Week 2 (two months later).
I love the idea of cookies, particularly since one day an American pupil gave me a gift of hand-made cookies, including a recipe, for Christmas. What a lovely gift! I've occasionally repeated the gesture, and given cookies and a recipe, since then.
Anyway, here's this gloriously simple recipe:
1) Preheat the oven to 190C and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
2) Beat 150g of softened butter with 80g light brown sugar and 80g granulated sugar until soft and creamy.
3) Beat in 1 egg and 2 tsp of vanilla extract.
4) Sift in 225g of plain flour, 1/2 tsp of bicarb of soda and a pinch of salt and then mix with a wooden spoon.
5) Stir in 200g of plain chocolate chips.
6) Put teaspoon sized blobs on the baking tray (leave plenty of space between them as they spread!)
7) Bake for 8 to 10 minutes - they'll be golden brown but still soft in the middle.
8) Leave on the tray for a couple of minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Yum yum, they don't last long!
What's your favourite biscuit recipe?

Slo-Mo and Freeze Frame
Pickleball is a fast action game! A number of the instructional videos show shot technique in slow motion several times in succession with and without freeze-frames so you can carefully examine body position and motion, posture, arm motion, footwork, balance, and paddle position approaching the ball and at point of contact with the ball, and follow-through.
Study the Videos!
View the videos over and over. After trying the lessons on the court, you will then realize how well -- or not so well -- you are playing for best results; for example the motion of the arm and stability of the wrist for forehand strokes. And when you view that video again, you will realize there are other tips you missed in the first viewing; for example, the best angle of the paddle when executing a top spin forehand shot. And step by step, you absorb what Friedenberg advises and incorporate his advice in your game.
Modeling and Visualization
Emulate the Expert
It's common sense to gain knowledge and develop skills pertaining to the game of pickleball from a master of the game. The best way to advance yourself is to emulate a master such as Mark Friedenberg. Tony Robbins, highly respected as the nation's foremost authority on the psychology of peak performance, includes modeling others who have achieved success as the cornerstone of his instructional programs for achieving peak performance.
This website is all about achieving your peak performance in pickleball by learning from and emulating Mark Friedenberg, a widely recognized master of the game, through the medium of streaming video.
Programming the Subconscious Mind
Practice is an attempt to repeat successful shots and employ effective tactics over and over such that they become second nature to you. You reach a point where you don't actually think about the mechanics or style of a shot, you just subconscioualy execute the shot. Some describe it as "muscle memory". The same can be said about court tactics.
What's taking place is that you are recording in your subconscious mind those successful shots and tactics such that they are effortlessly recalled at a moments notice when needed -- if you don't let your conscious mind get in the way. Of course, it's important that what's being recorded are successful shots!
Perfection Through Visual Repetition
There's another way to program the subconscious mind: repetitive visualization of exactly the shots and positive results you want. The subconscious mind has trouble differentiating between actual experiences and visualized experiences. Of course, using visualization, you can be sure to program in only the positive "experiences".
Combine positive visualization with modeling expert technique and you've got a winning formula for developing your pickleball game. The instructional videos offered on Winning Pickleball not only teach the important techniques and knowledge of successful pickleball play, but also offer viewing a master of the sport performing many of the shots required for playing winning pickleball. It may not be easy at first to visualize yourself hitting that shot exactly right, but with Mark Friedenberg performing those shots, you've got a valuable model for your visualization "practice".
Meet Mark Friedenberg
Experience, Prominence
Mark Friedenberg with a ranking of 5.0 is one of the top ranked pickleball players in the United States. He is a National Doubles Champion. Friedenberg has been interviewed on several TV stations, a radio station and by many newspapers and magazines throughout the United States. He has taught many instructional clinics throughout the U.S., and continues to do so (see Contact Us page). His word is highly regarded throughout the pickleball communities in the U.S. and Canada. His teaching experience comes from 22 years of playing tournament pickleball and from being a college instructor. Also, he has written a book on pickleball, "The Official Pickleball Handbook, 2nd Edition."
Mark and the USAPA
In February, 2005 Friedenberg established the new USAPA and its Board of Directors. Under Friedenberg and the USAPA Board of Directors, the USAPA has developed a fantastic and highly dynamic website that is viewed by thousands of people per day, a complete rules review and update, increased memberships, rankings and ratings, training items, marketing, over 400 ambassadors throughout North America, and media relations/publications.
Whether because of his age, or physical stature, or pickleball skills -- or all three! -- his tournament partners and opponents call him Yoda or the "Ancient Master". When it comes to pickleball he is one of the most knowledgeable players to have ever played the game. He always brings with him his "bag of tricks", of which many are exposed in his book.

My daughter started school last year and the year has flown by! These are just a few tips for the parents taking their children to primary school for the first time next week. The first day at school is one of the most memorable times in your life - for both child and parent - but it doesn't need to be the harrowing and heart-wrenching moment that you may expect it to be.
Listen to their concerns
We all remember the feeling of dread when going to school for the first time - no matter how many years ago it was! So think back to this time, acknowledge their fears and provide comfort and reassurance. We need to make it a priority to listen to our children, and ask about their day. It will then be easier to spot pre-school nerves that could result in headaches or stomach aches.
Encourage them to socialise with children beforehand
Organise play dates with your child's friends who you know are going to the same school shortly before term starts so that they won't feel so nervous about going. By socialising with other children who will be there on their first day they will feel much more confident, especially as all the children will be feeling the same. Then follow this up with a few more play dates in the first few weeks of term. Listen out for names that your child mentions and try and spot the parents in the playground.
A little bit of independence
A little bit of independence can go a long way in preparing a child to be ready for school. One of the biggest things a child can struggle with is managing their personal hygiene, being able to put on a coat, take off a jumper, manage socks and shoes etc. If a child lacks confidence in these areas it can lead to frustration and anxiety so try to encourage a new challenge each day for your child e.g. today your challenge is to put your shoes on all by yourself!
Chore away
You should never feel guilty about getting your children to help out around the house. Not only do chores emphasise the importance of good hygiene and cleanliness, but children who regularly carry out household tasks will find it easier to work and complete assignments when at school. They will also learn to be independent and self-sufficient whilst following instructions, which will boost their confidence when they go back to school.
Practise their reading and writing in preparation
Spend 20 minutes a day reading with your child in a unique and fun way. You can act out the stories by creating mini plays, or if they have started to read take it in turns to read alternate pages. Writing is also important. Encourage your children to practise holding a pencil and draw pictures of things that happened over the summer.
Create a routine in advance
Plan ahead to avoid the morning madness and stress by getting into a routine before school starts. By implementing the schedule of going to bed and waking up early a week before school starts, it will be sure to prevent any worries. If it is possible, begin a routine where clothes and shoes are ready and laid out the night before. This will reduce the possibility of being in a crazy rush before you leave home.
Make back to school shopping fun
No doubt you have been swarmed with 'back to school' offers for clothes and stationery so another activity that could be fun is to make a school shopping list with the kids. This task will allow them to think creatively about what they need when they go back to school. This can also be an opportunity to teach them the value of money. Shopping doesn't need to be a stressful task with the children but allow them to pick out a few little things so that they can look forward to showing off to their new friends when the term begins.
First day at school party
The first day at school could be celebrated the night before with a mini party. The night will have to end early of course to ensure a good night's sleep and bright eyes in the morning! Plan a hearty meal, a fun DVD and their favourite dessert to show them how proud of them you are that they are starting school for the first time. It will be sure to cheer up your child and give them a good feeling about their first day.
Extra clubs
There are so many activities on offer for you to do after school from swimming, gymnastics, music and additional learning. Many will offer free trials (like our own www.explorelearning.co.uk) and it's important to see how your child responds before committing. However, don't try to do anything in the first few weeks of term. Wait for your child to settle into his or her new routine. Check they are not too tired and are happy to have additional stimulation before looking into any extra clubs.
So take pleasure in the first day at school - shed a little tear for your growing baby then welcome this exciting new experience and make some of your own special friendships too.

It's been awhile… but it was a good break! On this break I focused on a lot of issues that i have been struggling with. Mainly my Depression, Self Worth, and Driving Anxiety. But i also started to work on an addiction that i just recently found out i had. Well i had an idea that i probably had it but had no idea how to work on it as there was no real group or anything for it. Well I finally told my counselor about it and she gave me a book and from that book i learned there was a workbook for it, I ordered it and i have been working through it with my counselor and let's just say that when you try to get rid of one addiction another seems to come to the front of the line!
One of these days I'll be comfortable saying what my addiction is but for now just know it's a struggle, and it's not fun at all.
But enough of that!! Let's talk of good things… Like for the first time in 3 years i finally drove from my home to a location that is 20 minutes away (i drive kinda slow) and back with no other adult in the vehicle with me!!! I"m just totally stoked that I did it finally! I learned that i seem to have a slight (and i mean slight) case of PTSD or so the Doctor says so about driving. When he first told me i was like, "but i'm not in the army, i haven't had anything major happen to me! Sure i had a muscle spasm and little accident right on top of each other but could that really trigger PTSD?" He told me yes, specially in someone who is already struggling mentally with a lot of other things. And i was. So new meds and finally pushing myself off that imaginary ledge of "can i do this?" and I did it!!
Now it truly is exciting that i did this but to my mind… i didn't. That imaginary ledge also had another name, "Am I Going To Trust God?" That ledge…that question…that was scary! It tied into my Self Worth issues. I didn't think God thought i was important. I didn't think I mattered. I didn't think I was the treasure, princess, or child that God wanted in His Kingdom. I mean if I had all this insecurity of "does my husband want me?", "my kids don't want me", "No one wants to be my friend really," how could God want me? I sunk myself into the Bible and really started to read it. Then we had a sermon about "are you a Fan or Follower of Jesus?" I really looked at the difference between the two, and saw where i had been. You can say you are a follower all you want but if you are not living it then all you are is talk and no action. You're a Fan and Not a Follower!
I started to let down my guard around God and started going to Him for everything, I started putting myself out there more….I started trying to make friends again, I started putting effort into my physical appearance, I started to reach out to help or do projects i normally wouldn't think to do. It has been wonderful! I still struggle though, I still think of myself in a negative light some mornings, so I open my Bible and it now automatically opens to the book of James…The whole Book to me talks of being a Fan or Follower…how we should be acting and so on and to me it's just a comforting Book to Read.
And so with that my verse for today comes from there….
" Dear brothers and sisters,when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing." James 1:2-4
The first verse can be a hard one to read…he doesn't say "only these kind of troubles" nope… he says ANY KIND! We have a bad day? We should see this as an opportunity for joy! Now there are some things that should be grieved and processed before getting to the Joy…but I think we should look for that Joy in all things! Like my experience for example…when i've gone to recovery groups or to counseling they didn't automatically say "well you should be seeing the joy in this right now!" No…they worked me through the stages of grief, anger, and so on and now finally I'm seeing the Joy and the good that has come out of these situations. And i think THIS is what they meant, they didn't say BE Joyful…no they said "Consider It An Opportunity!" Meaning it will be coming, just not right away. SO I think we can be able to see the Joy in somethings right away even though they seem bad and sometimes it might take some healing first before we can finally feel that Joy.
In the second verse it talks about our Faith being tested. It has taken me a long time to know that it is NOT God that is testing me! God is not tempted, He will NOT tempt you! I finally know who is tempting me…Satan. He wants us to fail, He wants us to fall on our faces…and I've done so, many times! The thing is, I think we can do the second part "..endurance has a chance to grow" when we pick ourselves up, call it what it was (Satan or our own Human selfishness) and work hard to not only to get back on the right path but to make sure we are not tripped up like that again. Some times we need help with this. We need a friendly person to come along side us to remind us to be watchful and to put God first and not our human nature.
Third verse reminds us to let it grow, we shouldn't ever stop trying to better ourselves, our Faith, and our knowledge of God's word. It says that if we are fully developed then we're perfect and needing nothing. My thoughts on this is if we are perfect then we are no longer on this earth. So from this I get the idea of while we are living we need to be constantly watchful, constantly learning, constantly growing in our Faith. By this i mean we seek God in the morning, at lunch, and before bed…. and all those times in between. Making sure to read the Bible at some point in the day, and to reach out to others that are around us. I can be just as bad as anyone else with this. Lives get busy, children's needs need to be met, there's work, there's that evil Facebook with all it's cool games and people with pictures on it. Haha!!
What i get from all this is that we all struggle, it's what we do with those struggles that mean the most. No one is perfect! Christians' are NOT perfect…I personally know that i am broken…and because i know that i know i need God and because i need Him I know that i need to work on me every day.
I hope you enjoyed reading this, hope it may have helped someone or at least got you thinking.

Hey, do you guys know what has gone wrong here? i appear to have a white line in my form, between "Marriage Prep Centre" and "Which Date"...
in the CSS designer, there is a similar white line between every field.
- CharlieAnswered on December 15, 2014 at 10:13 AM
You can remove this by doing the following:
1. Navigate to Form Styles->Form Designer
2. Navigate to CSS tab at the right and add the custom code below.
Add this code under the CSS tab
#id_27 {
height: 60px !important;
#id_24 {
height: 60px !important;
.form-line {
height: auto;
You can check the edited cloned form here: http://jotform.com/form/43484417644965.
Let us know if you need help on this.
Thank you.
- tomorrownightAnswered on December 15, 2014 at 10:46 AM
This is brilliant, thanks a lot,
if its not too much trouble (dont worry if it is) but could you explain to me what the CSS actually did when i included your text?
- CharlieAnswered on December 15, 2014 at 12:03 PM
You're most welcome. I'm glad that it worked for you. Below is how I understand my code.
#id_27 is the element holding the field "Which Marriage Prep Centre". Because the label of the name is quite long, it makes another line, but the height of the actual element doesn't adjust, that is why you have a white line below it. What we did is just increase the height to cover the white line.
#id_27 {
height: 60px !important;
#id_24 is the ID name of the field "How did you hear about us?". Same goes with the #id_27 above why we added height on this.
#id_24 {
height: 60px !important;
The element .form-line covers all the fields you have, we added a value of "auto" in height so that they will adjust themselves automatically while the margin is set to 0 so that we can avoid white lines in between the .form-line element.
.form-line {
height: auto;
When we don't add the above code of .form-line this shows up:
If you need an assistance again or have any other concerns, please feel free to open up a new thread here in the forum, we'll be more than happy to help you.
Thank you.

Bones Promo: Someone Smarter Than Brennan?Steve Marsi at . Comments
Bones promised to introduce a "21st Century, tech savvy adversary" in Season 7.
It looks like next week, on the delayed midseason finale, we may meet that foe.
In "The Crack in the Code," the Jeffersonian team investigates a murder scene at a national monument (the Lincoln Memorial, it appears), but the only clue left is a coded message made of human blood. Obviously.
This case is only the beginning of a scavenger hunt for the solution, courtesy of their new, technologically-proficient foe. Elsewhere, Booth and Brennan continue down the road to domesticity, looking for a new home.
Sadly, this episode - airing Thursday, January 12 at a special time, 8 p.m. EST - is Bones' last until the spring. The Finder spinoff will fill in from January 12 at 9 p.m. until Bones returns in March or April.
Check out the promo below and hit the comments:

Hey Gunner, where the heck do you go that you have to carry a gun and a knife? I go into Syracuse,NY 2 or 3 times a month. They have 3 or 4 shootings a week, sometimes in a day. They used to be just in the combat zones, but they're spreading out lately into other areas.I just try to be aware of what's happening around me. Most of the shootings are driveby, between gangs, but sometimes innocent people get hit. You've probably heard the story about the guy who carried a knife into a gunfight.
