Gold as an Inflation Hedge?
Well, Sort of...
Rising inflation has put gold back on the radar for investors looking to protect themselves from emerging price pressures, but history suggests its reputation has been overstated.
The experience of the last 50 years suggests gold performs better as a hedge against inflation shocks – like the spike caused by surging oil prices in the late 1970s and early 1980s – than the widely anticipated grind higher currently seen.
"If you strip out the 1970s, you find the relationship between gold and inflation is quite weak," Brian Lucey, professor of international finance at Trinity College Dublin, said. "That is because you have a very different inflation regime in the late 1980s and 1990s than you had in the 1970s."
"That was a time when inflation rates of double digit and higher were the norm. We're not going back to that."
As U.S. consumer inflation surged to nearly 15 percent in early 1980, gold more than kept pace, hitting a then record $666.75 an ounce after a fifteen fold rise over the previous decade.
However, when inflation rose again in the late 1980s, from 1 percent in late 1986 to more than 6 percent by the end of 1990, gold sagged.
While recent data suggests U.S. inflation pressures are picking up, central banks are poised to intervene if they start to rise strongly, chiefly through interest rate hikes. For gold, that is bad news. Rising interest rates lift the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion – why hold gold when you can be paid to hold cash?
Only when inflation runs out of control, holding real rates, or interest rates minus inflation, in check, does gold tend to benefit significantly. Even so, a better hedge can be found in assets specifically designed for the purpose, such as Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), launched in the 1990s.
"If you want to cover inflation expectations, you just buy a bond – it's very straightforward," Campbell Harvey, professor of finance at the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, said. "However, that doesn't work for unexpected inflation – this is where an inflation-linked bond is needed."
Harvey's research into gold's link with inflation shows that while the metal holds its value over the extremely long run – Roman soldiers' wages, expressed in gold, are similar to modern-day U.S. military pay – short-term investors seeking protection are likely to be disappointed.
"The inflation hedging abilities of gold are not measured over months or years, but centuries," he said. "People mistake the very long term performance for the shorter term, thinking gold is going to protect them. My research is very clear that an investment in gold is not a reliable hedge."
Indeed, gold has reacted little to recent price pressures. As the five-year U.S. breakeven inflation rate hit its highest in a year last month, gold sagged as the dollar pulled off recent lows in anticipation of higher interest rates.
Investors have plenty of alternatives to gold if they want to protect against inflation, from inflation-linked bonds and inflation-indexed options to real estate.
But regardless of the alternatives – and even whether gold really does act as an inflation hedge – rising price pressures may be good for bullion prices if enough people are convinced they will be.
"Because gold is a perceived inflation hedge, we will still likely see some allocation into gold leading up to inflation moving higher," Standard Chartered analyst Suki Cooper said.

We've had very positive comments from customers on our web based "Online" services which are growing all the time. At the time I am writing this newsletter article, these are the online services you can use right now: (online tissue sample submission this spring!)
1. Online soil sample submission
2. Agvisor Lite soil sample reports, exports and summaries
3. Plant tissue reports and exports
4. Manure test reports
5. Electronic download of price per sample and invoice information
We have been able to incorporate many of your ideas, comments and suggestions into these services. New for 2012 will be the online plant tissue sample submission system. This will be the same process as many of you are currently doing for soil samples except it's for your plant tissue samples. Instead of handwriting your sample information on the plant tissue envelopes, it'll be quicker and cleaner than hand writing with an ink pen in the field. As in the online soil sample submission where you input your sample/field information online and print the barcode sticker, the online plant tissue submission were the same. You will enter the sample/field information online, print the barcode sticker and place the sticker on the plant tissue sample bag. No writing on the bag! Hurray!
Online Sample Submission, Getting Started
For those of you who haven't started using the online sample submission process, you'll find that it is quicker and easier to submit samples online and will minimize typos or spelling errors that are common with hand written sample information. To start this process, go to www.agvise.com. The first thing to do is build your database of Growers and their Fields. Please follow the instructions listed below. If you have any problems, please give our staff a call. You must use a Laser printer to print the online bar-coded sample stickers (Inkjet printers DO NOT work, the ink will smear off the label). AGVISE will send you the new "online" sample forms at no cost. This online system will eliminate all handwritten sample information/field sheets you use.
1) Go to www.agvise.com
2) At the homepage, select either the "Agvisor Lite" or "Submit Samples" Link
3) Login using your Agvise account number and password (call if you have trouble)
4) Select the "Submit Samples" link
5) Select the "Manage Growers and Fields" link
6) Select the "Add a new Grower" link and start inputting some grower names. You can add a "Test Grower" for learning purposes. To get used to this, just add a couple of your growers as you can always add more later.
7) Once you have some Growers' names entered, add some fields by selecting the "Add a new Field" link.
8) Now, go through the Submit Samples process. Select the "Submit Soil Samples" link, and choose either a "conventional sample" or a "grid/zone sample." Then select one grower name and one of his fields. Finish the process by selecting the various items. You can choose up to three crops for next year, yield goals, P & K guidelines, test options, sample depths and finally choose the "Submit data to AGVISE" button.
9) The next step is to print the barcode reference number stickers on the "Online form" provided by AGVISE. Choose the "Soil Test History" link. Select a sample from the list to print and then hit the green "Print Barcoded Labels for selected Tests" botton. This will open a pdf of the selected sample and will show you what will be printed on the "Online sample submission form. Once printed, you can peel off the stickers and attach to the paper soil or tissue sample bags. For soil samples sent in plastic sample bags, the bar-coded stickers must be placed on a paper sample bag before being placed inside the plastic sample bag with the soil cores.
If you have any questions, just call either lab and ask for John Lee (Northwood, ND) or Richard Jenny (Benson, MN).

FLINT, MI—Kettering University's campus and surrounding area continue to get a facelift.
Amid a myriad of enhancements over the past several years, Kettering recently added a "gateway" to the campus at the corner of Chevrolet Avenue and Kearsley Street.
The gateway is part of a larger project currently being finished throughout campus that includes lighting and signage denoting campus buildings and facilities, as well as signage upgrades throughout campus.
According to a statement from Kettering, the signage "is the latest step in the rapid improvement of the region extending from Hammerberg Road to Kettering's campus."
Other upgrades in the area include the nearby renovated Powers Catholic High School, and the transformation of the former industrial site known as Chevy in the Hole. The former brownfield is being converted to Chevy Commons, an urban park with natural vegetation and paved pathways for walking and biking. Once finished there will also be an autonomous vehicle proving ground on the site as well, which will be the only facility of its kind on a college campus.

Battle for the Israeli Right
Bibi announces Likud candidacy
"Sharon abandoned the principles of the Likud," he told the gathering of supporters and members of the press, "and decided to go another way, the way of the left. He is threatening to destroy the party that he built with his own hands. We must defend our home because we have no other."
Prime Minister Sharon's office was quick to respond to Netanyahu's press conference. "Netanyahu continues to spread lies and fantasies and to change history," the message read.
To Netanyahu's claim that he was a successful and strong prime minister, the statement from Sharon's camp replied, "He forgot to mention that he received a strong party [in 1996] and gave back a party with only 19 mandates. It was Sharon who brought it back up to 40 mandates and brought the Likud to power.
"His lies," the message concluded, "bring up bitter memories from the past."
Let battle commence?

The Rent Controlled Tenants Committee (RCTC) was formed in 2003 in response to the Maximum Base Rent (MBR) rent increase of 17.2% for 2004-2005, the highest for any MBC increase in the previous 28 years.
In 2010, Rent Controlled tenants face another high MBR increase of 12.9% despite the present economic crisis.
Although RC tenants have the lowest mean income of all regulated tenants in NYC, they have been subjected to the highest increases.
Since 1992, the cumulative Rent Controlled increases have amounted to 631% while Rent Stabilized increases have amounted to 366%.
The Rent Controlled Tenants Committee is presently considering a court case to challenge this high increase by the NYS Division of Housing & Community Renewal (DHCR).
For further info contact:
Tom Siracuse
Chair of the RCTC
phone: 212-874-2154
email: email@example.com
Thank you for calling your state legislators and the other officials to protest the NYS Division of Housing and Community Renewal's (DHCR) proposal to raise our Maximum Base Rent by 12.9%, despite the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression!
The unfairness of this proposal is exemplified when we compare our increase to the 6% increase set by the NYC Rent Guidelines Board for Rent Stabilized tenants even though the same period of time and the same type of buildings are used for both calculations.
Rent Controlled tenants have the lowest mean income of all renters and yet have been subjected to the highest increases over the years. These increases have caused a crisis for many Rent Controlled tenants who are not eligible for SCRIE (Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption) and who face the prospect of losing their homes because they can no longer afford their rents.
We have heard nothing from our legislators that the Rent Control Law will be reformed.
If a Rent Controlled tenant is presently paying $1,000 a month, the 12.9% MBR increase would mean that by January 2011, the rent would be $129 a month more. By the beginning of the next MBR increase in January 2013, the tenant will have paid out a total of $2,448 in rent increases. A Rent Stabilized tenant will have paid out less than half that amount.
The Rent Controlled Tenants Committee is retaining the experienced and sympathetic tenant lawyer, Robert E. Levy, Esq. to challenge DHCR's calculations in court.
We ask you to help us pay for the legal fees involved by sending our Committee a check payable to "Rent Controlled Tenants Committee" (do not make the check payable to RCTC). Any amount is appreciated.
Mail the check to:
244 W. 74th Street, Apt. 5-C
New York, NY 10023
Please contact other rent controlled tenants. Thank you very much in this struggle to keep our homes.

The popular TV show, "The Americans," chronicles the adventures of ruthless KGB spies operating in Washington, DC at the dawn of the Reagan era of the early 80's. In the show, now entering its fourth season in March, Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) Jennings are true professionals. The well-trained KGB officers employ expert martial arts skills, lock-picking, surveillance and disguise in carrying out their duties for the motherland.
As a prime example of US propaganda and projection, we see that in reality it is the CIA that is carrying out elaborate spy operations in Russia. Fast forward to the present day, change the location to the streets of Moscow and replace KGB with the CIA and you have a true spy story happening right now!
CIA shenanigans over the years have been well documented. The latest exhibit comes courtesy of the FSB, Russia's intelligence service. Just like the television show, but with less proficiency, CIA officers skulk around wearing disguises and hiding in the back seat of cars attempting to shake off any surveillance. "The Americans" has a basis in reality, but don't look to Russian spies posing as Americans, but rather genuine American citizens in drag, and sporting other silly costume disguises, struggling in vain to undermine the Russian government.

There's not a lot a beverage executive can do about store traffic. But without an increase in customers, any innovative or interesting beverage development isn't likely to drive sales. As the VIBE Conference approaches, we spoke with NPD Group's Vice President, Client Development for Foodservice Warren Solochek, who this year will look at why chains are struggling with building traffic through promotions.
Why is building traffic so important for folks in charge of beverage?
Instead of talking about and focusing on beverage alcohol, as I have done at previous conferences, I thought it was time to look at part of what has been driving people to casual and fine dining lately, the various offerings available to customers. In 2013, we saw that there were a lot of promotions going on in casual dining particularly among the biggest chains to bring people into their units, because traffic was so slow. They worked for a little bit but not really very much. As we got into 2014, what we saw were the kinds of offerings that were made available must have changed, as the percent of people saying they were taking advantage of promotions declined.
Why do you think that is?
My theory on this is that casual dining is in a really hard spot relative to the rest of the industry, and despite anything the beverage people do, if you can't get people thru the door, it doesn't make a difference what your assortment is or pricing is. So we'll be looking at what has worked and the things that don't work. We hope people will be able to take what we tell them back to their marketing and promotion folks so they can change it up, because traffic has been very weak.
Tell us about one of your findings?
For example, in 2013 there were a lot of promotions centered on bundling, two for $20 or $30 or things like that. Initially, these things caught peoples' eyes because it felt like a deal. But I think the perceived benefit that those kind of offers provided is much lower now; secondarily, I feel like there has got to be something better that can bring people in. It might couponing - we've seen a big increase among fast casual and quick serve, and the fast casual guys have been successful at it because customers have been willing to provide their email addresses. They seem to feel that if they provide some information, they will benefit. I think casual dining in this area is behind.
I think today the casual dining folks have less of a capability than fast casual players in adding one-to-one communication with their customers. There may be chains that can do a better job of that, but looking at the biggest bar and grill chains, I don't think any of them are doing a very good job getting their customers to come in more often.

So long, farewell.
It is with a heavy heart that I leave you with our last blog post for a few days. That's right, baby! S and I, and our family, are headed to Jackson Hole, WY, for the next week.
Have you been there? If not, you should go. It is a fabulous resort town at the base of the Teton mountains. I. Am. SO. Excited. And rumor has it that Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock were there a couple of days ago and were spotted on a hike. I plan to bump into them. And we will bond. And I will brush Sandra's hair, and she will tell me to call her Sandy, and she will dish about her love life, and whether her and Ryan are in love, and then she will ask me to be the maid of honor at their wedding on the beach in Greece, and I will most humbly accept. But don't worry, I promise I will still be friends with you even after I become BFF's with the movie stars. I won't forget my roots.
And while S and I will be gone most of the week, there is no need to fret. We have some of our most favorite blogger friends lined up to post for us while we are away. I am real excited about that too, because it's gonna be good stuff.
So, have a great week, enjoy the guest posts, enter our fabulous

already, and we'll see you soon.

Learning to Label
As part of our study of non fiction this week, we learned about the difference between labels and captions. We started the week by labeling things in our classroom....including Mrs. Manning. Never have I heard kids laugh so hard as when they got to put that "face" sticky note label on my cheek. We are starting to notice labels everywhere!!
Measuring Maniacs!!
This week our focus has been on length. We learned about the difference between standard measurement (rulers, yard sticks)....but we also learned that you can use things like potatoes or unifix cubes to measure (non standard units of measurement). We measured our feet, our supplies, our length as babies compared to now. Did you know that the tallest person in our class now was NOT the longest baby? Who knew!?
Fiction and Non Fiction
Photographs vs. illustrations
Fact talk vs. story talk
Captions, labels, bold words
Characters & settings
Index, Table of Contents, Glossary
Reading to gain new information or just for enjoyment?
All of these are clues that we used to help us determine if our books were fiction or non fiction. I was SUPER impressed with how quickly they have picked this up. I love hearing them read with their partners & use this kind of language to determine if their story is fiction or fact! They worked so hard this week doing book sorts, having discussions, showing evidence in books to prove it ws non fiction...LOVE IT!
Ways to make 10
We have been hard at work learning about the different combinations that can be used to make 10. Zero and 10, nine and 1, eight and 2....and the list goes on! These kindergarten smarties have blown me away with how quickly they have figured out the "missing number to make 10". We wrapped up our week by making friends of 10s domino snacks! Students used the chocolate chips to show me different combinations for making 10. Naturally, we worked up an appetite doing this so we enjoyed the treat after all that learning!
Word Doctors
With our reading and social studies focus on community helpers this week, we thought it was a perfect time to show off our "word doctor" skills. Students worked with a partner to create real and nonsense words from bone pieces. They were even dressed for their work...doctor masks and tweezers to help!
Red Ribbon Week
Thanks to all who participated last week in our Red Ribbon activities! Levi & Scout enjoyed "mustache day" as well...

À la veille de l'édition 2018 des Fintech Awards, Paperjam.lu est allé demander aux 15 demi-finalistes de se présenter brièvement et partager leurs ambitions. Le CEO de la start-up allemande Elinvar (gestion de placements), Niall Bellabarba, s'est prêté au jeu.
Why did you decide to participate in the Fintech Awards?
"Firstly, Luxembourg is a massive financial centre in Europe. The concentration of banks, assets and financial know-how make it an easy choice for a German fintech player like Elinvar.
Secondly, Luxembourg has the 'fin' part of fintech, but what we have noticed in the last years is that it is investing heavily in the 'tech' side.
This combination of historic strength, global contacts and expertise, but also willingness to invest, engage and focus on technology make it a very interesting destination for us.
What is the value proposition of your solution?
"Succeeding in wealth management nowadays implies commanding a superior ability in the domain of technology. But this is not easy for traditional wealth managers. Elinvar offers wealth managers a digital B2B2C platform for their business: comprehensive, digital, and customised for each partner's business model.
As part of its comprehensive service portfolio, Elinvar includes 'plug and play' implementations, state-of-the-art API management for third parties, customer identification (KYC processes), market data and communication providers.
Partners profit from the combination of leading technology and functional expertise of a fully licenced portfolio manager. Elinvar's technology platform is built on a cutting edge micro-service architecture and thus ensures sustained competitiveness for its business partners.
What will you do if you win? Would Luxembourg be a potential hub for you to attack the international market?
"If we were to win, I am sure we would raise a couple glasses of champagne to celebrate our new high on the international stage.
We are quietly confident that the Elinvar product will be well received also locally, and as we expand internationally, Luxembourg is likely to become in time a very significant business hub for us.
The expertise Luxembourg holds in European cross-country financial operations and passporting rights make it an attractive destination, also for long-term strategic purposes. The openness, language skills and geographical proximity to multiple large European centres make Luxembourg an extremely appealing destination for our business strategy."

The latest Worlds Adrift update from Bossa Games has declared that the game's Update 27, which will be bringing an updated new-player experience, new crafting blueprints, and more, will officially be going live on October 9th. Although some players may be somewhat disappointed to hear that the release of Update 27 also comes with a full server wipe, the devs are hoping to assuage the sting of loss by hosting a big send-off event to give a proper sendoff to Update 26 and ring in the new age of Update 27.
The event, which is officially titled the End of an Era Pre-Wipe Event, will take place on Saturday, October 6th, at various times for various servers. The first of the events will take place on the Ten Rui server at 2:00 p.m. EST, and the last will kick off at 6:00 p.m. EST on the Darrat server. For the event, players are invited to take part in "a short race and an open PvP Event to kiss all [their] old ships goodbye." The first ship across the finish line in the race and the last ship standing in the open PvP event will earn cosmetic prizes that the winning players will be able to keep through the wipe.
For all the details on the End of an Era Pre-Wipe Event, as well as the upcoming, community-organized Battle Regatta, click on over to the full post on the game's official site.
Just finished recording the latest episode of Worlds Adrift Dev Podcast where we talk about super exciting things to come!

The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) has launched an anti-discrimination campaign and is calling on the industry to 'pledge positive actions to stamp it out for good'
The LFA's Elephant Campaign – aimed at 'tackling the elephant in the room' – comes in the wake of the scandals about the Las Vegas showgirls at last year's UK Construction Week and the now notorious male-only Presidents' Club dinner.
Earlier this month the AJ reported that one in seven women architects had experienced sexual harassment in the past year and more than half of female architects had experienced some type of discrimination.
According to the LFA, the industry's problems continue 'to be ignored by some [which has resulted] in an identity crisis harming the built environment profession'.
The campaign wants to challenge outdated attitudes and ensure that the property industry is safe and welcoming for everyone.
LFA director Tamsie Thomson said recent events had made clear that the 'built environment industry must get its house in order'.
She said: 'How can we expect a more diverse profession if it's still acceptable for women to be groped, harassed and assaulted in their work environment? How can we expect that profession to deliver for society if it's not of the society it seeks to serve? As the London Festival of Architecture 2018 explores identity, what can we do to resolve our industry's identity crisis?
How can we expect a more diverse profession if it's still acceptable for women to be groped?
She added: 'When it comes to discrimination, the industry does not have a proud past. There are doubtless countless more stories to emerge of inappropriate and illegal behaviour. For too long it has been the elephant in the room, and those stories should be told. It's time for the industry to acknowledge its problems, pivot and move on.'
The LFA is asking professionals to pledge to acknowledge the industry's problem and take action that recognises for key areas:
- Those at the top should recognise the influence they have in creating a culture and lead by example
- Everybody needs to acknowledge that discriminatory behaviour and attitudes remain a problem within the built environment profession
- Everybody needs to feel safe in calling out inappropriate behaviour
- Everybody needs to offer unequivocal support to any colleague if they call out inappropriate behaviour wherever they encounter it.
Jules Pipe, deputy London mayor for planning, regeneration and skills, said: 'The mayor and I fully support efforts to tackle discrimination, exploitation and harassment in the property and construction industry.
'We want to see a cultural change in this sector, creating an environment welcoming to people of all backgrounds and reflecting the diversity of the capital. Under-representation of women and minority groups not only denies opportunities in a growing sector, it also poses a wider problem in that those designing our cities do not represent the diversity of the cities themselves.'

If you have ever sold a cloud PBX system before, you've been asked this question by a customer. If you're new to selling cloud PBX systems, get ready to hear it – a lot. This is because the best prospect for a cloud PBX system is a businesses likely still using an old analog PBX. This means that there's a lot of room for improvement available for them!
Thankfully, you can help them understand the reasons why they should switch to the cloud by highlighting a few key pieces of information. By doing this, you can establish rapport with the customer and demonstrate your professional expertise. Plus, you can help them become more comfortable making a purchase decision. All of this makes it easier for you to close the sale. We've put together 8 talking points to help you get prepared to sell your cloud PBX system confidently.
Get Certified: How to Make a Solid Sales Pitch for Cloud PBX
Arguments to help convince your customers switching from analog PBX to a cloud PBX system is the way forward
Pay attention, take notes, and get ready to learn what you should be telling customers about making the switch. Let's take a look at the reasons that made our list!
1. You Will Save Money
With cloud PBX services your customers can save up to 50% per month on their existing phone bill. This alone should be enough of a reason for customers to make the switch. It's historically been one of the main selling point of cloud solutions, and, with your customers, it should be no different. Remember, unlike analog PBX systems that come with high upfront costs, cloud solutions require a minimal (if any) upfront investment.
2. You Can Easily Scale Usage
In the past, when your customer grew past a certain headcount, they would have to replace their entire PBX in favor of a newer, more expensive version. With a cloud PBX, adding additional users and extensions to the system is as easy as a few clicks of your mouse…and the purchase of an additional IP phone.
3. You Don't Have to Maintain the System
A cloud PBX system will not require your customer to have any new hardware or technology to maintain on-premises, all day-to-day operations and maintenance of the PBX is performed by you and the cloud PBX provider. This means no more techs in the closet or expensive truck rolls for them to pay for!
4. You Get Frequent System Updates
Customers who use a cloud PBX system also gain access to the latest technology automatically. All upgrades to the system are handled automatically by the cloud PBX provider. That's right – with cloud PBX, there's no need for an on-site PBX technician to update firmware or software versions anymore.
5. You Get Service Reliability and Disaster Recovery
With cloud PBX services, all of your customer's PBX information and files are held at hosting facilities that have sophisticated and redundant backup equipment. This means if an issue occurs their data is secure and can always be recovered, in the case of a larger service outage.
6. You Can Easily Enable Remote Workers and Virtual Offices
A cloud PBX system makes a remote employee or virtual office situation easy. Cloud PBX services allow you to route calls to any employee, anywhere in the world and even to house numbers, as long as they have a high-speed internet connection. With cloud PBX, there is no need for a main office; everyone could be a remote employee working from home with softphones!
7. End of Life Support for Your Technology
At some point, your customer may get pushed into a corner as their old system reaches end of life status with their vendor. This leaves the customer with an outdated solution that has limited support, and is often expensive to maintain, or fix, due to a lack of available parts. In certain cases, you customer may not even be able to find spare parts or compatible phones.
Fortunately, with cloud-based solutions, there is no worrying about your technology going end of life. Cloud PBX providers such as SherWeb are consistently pushing new features and updates "over the air" at no charge to customers. This ensures that as time goes on, your customers will continue to get the latest and greatest in functionality without having to lift a finger.
8. Carriers Charge Extra for Standard Features
Traditional telecom companies are notorious for trying to squeeze as much money out of the customers as possible. One of the ways they do this is by charging separate fees for standard features such as an IVR, voicemail, conferencing, and even long distance.
In the past, getting charged extra for standard was just a part of the process for your customers. This is not the case when it comes to cloud solutions. When considering making the switch, many customers are often surprised to find that they get everything they need without paying additional monthly fees. A huge win for them, and for you.
Learn More about Making the Switch Happen
There are a number of great reasons your customers should consider switching to a cloud based system. Now it's time for you to learn all the great reasons you should be reselling cloud PBX systems through SherWeb. You can get started by downloading our in-depth guide to cloud PBX.

The world is watching (a product made for an audience of one).
2017 has never been anything less than fascinating.
WWE's ability to retain a monopoly over the industry, despite ritually antagonising audiences, is as impressive as it is totally depressing. This Jinder Mahal business, after SummerSlam, moved even the jaded into a state of despair. Shinsuke Nakamura, now just another wrestler, took just one botched finisher en route to yet another Singh Brothers-assisted Maharaja win. The guy the hardcore fans love was defeated by the guy the hardcore fans hate in an era in which WWE gears its business model exclusively towards the hardcore fans. The logic is impossible to parse. Only one person gets it. We feign to dislike him, and yet throw our pounds and dollars at him on a monthly basis. But not our rupees, given that WWE pay-per-views are free in India, and WWE has no immediate plans to promote shows in that country - despite installing a man of Indian descent as WWE Champion in an attempt to monetise it. Presumably. At some point.
That WWE seems to either misunderstand - or loathe their audience entirely - is just one of several uncomfortable wrestling truths...

There are not many times in life where recognition goes past your school. Maybe if lucky, your local paper picks up a story. On rare occasions, the paper from the big city might do a small article on you. And once in a blue moon, you might get on TV for being team of the Week. But in light of the recent stories of Lance Armstrong and Manti Teo, this is where our focus should be placed.
When a National publication asks for an article to spot light your team, as a coach, you jump at the opportunity. Mainly because the opportunities are so rare.
The article spotlights our performance in and out of the pool. Something that we have worked hard for the past three years. It is testament to everything that everyone that has been associated to the program has help build.
Read the entire article here at this link.

The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John 5:1-15
On this the Fourth Sunday of the Pascha (easter) celebration we remember the paralytic who was sick for 38 years. Today's passage is interesting and it makes us wonder, "what is the point of this story in the middle of our Easter celebrations?"
The Lord was walking near the pool called Bethesda which means house of mercy or house of grace. As the Lord Jesus Christ looked at all those sick people near the pool waiting for healing He paid particular attention to this poor man who was paralyzed for 38 years. He had been near the pool for a long time but was powerless to pull himself into the pool in time to receive the healing which came from an angel which stirred the waters.
The Lord Jesus went up to this man and asked him one simple question. "Do you want to be healed?" Other translations will also say "Do you want to be made whole?"
Each of us is like this man. We are sick in various ways. Some physical and many spiritual illnesses. We can see some physical illnesses but often the spiritual illnesses are hidden. These spiritual illnesses are due to our choices. They are due to lives lived apart from God and His teachings. More than anything this question "Do you want to be healed?" is a question that is meant for each and every person who claims to be a follower of Christ.
We often say to each other, oh I wish I could pray more. I wish I had more time for my family. I wish I could overcome my addictions. I wish I could be a better person. I wish I could have a deeper faith. I wish I could stop swearing or stop being so impatient.
We are always looking for the fruit of healing. Healing results in better relationships with others, better time management, better ability to defeat sin, better everything. But these are not healing, they are by-products, the results of healing. Achieving all of these things is only possible if we have the source of healing. That source is and must be Jesus Christ our creator and giver of life.
"Do you want to be healed?" is a question with meaning for each and every one of us because it reminds us that we are either sick or well. We are either choosing spiritual sickness or we really want to be spiritually healed and restored. This question "Do you want to be healed?" is the way that Jesus Christ asks us what we really want, what is really inside our hearts, what is our deepest desire. Is it a desire for the things of the world, for the pleasures of life, or is it a desire for the merciful healing touch that comes from Jesus.
This story is a reminder that Jesus can change the life of someone who has been sick for a very long time, someone who might be like me or you. It is also a story that encourages each of us to draw near to Jesus Christ through prayer and boldly ask to be healed spiritually, to be made integrated and whole people. We are reminded that by prayer and and living according to the commandments of Jesus Christ we can have everything that God wants for our lives.
This story encourages us with the power of the resurrection not only to save those who are physically dead but those who are paralyzed or spiritually dead through sin. All the fruits of the resurrection become ours when we allow Jesus a place inside our heart, our mind and our life.
May God bless each of us with the power of this resurrection…..and glory be to God forever AMEN.

Well, it looks like we're getting a chance to legalize pot come November. Fuck gay rights, as long as I can toke up in front of a cop, it's all good, right? Yup, who knows, maybe we'll actually legalize it this time;
California voters will decide this November whether to legalize and regulate adult recreational use of marijuana as the Secretary of State today certified that a Bay Area-based effort to put the issue on the ballot has collected enough signatures to do so.
If passed, California would have the most comprehensive laws on legal marijuana in the entire world, marijuana reform advocates say. Opponents are confident they will easily defeat the measure.
The vote will be the second time in nearly 40 years that people in the Golden State will decide the issue of legalization, though the legal framework and cultural attitudes surrounding marijuana have changed significantly the past four decades. If Californians pass the measure, it would be the first in the nation to do so as similar efforts in other states all have failed.
Backers needed to collect at least 433,971 valid signatures of registered voters and the Secretary of State said they met that threshold.
If voters approve the ballot measure, it will become legal for Californians 21 and older to grow and possess up to an ounce of marijuana under state law. Local jurisdictions could tax and regulate it, or decide not to participate. Marijuana would continue to be banned outright by federal law.
Current state law allows a person, with a doctor's approval, to possess an amount of marijuana that is reasonably related to the patient's current medical needs. People also can obtain cards identifying themselves as a patient, which helps in interactions with law enforcement.
"There is no state that currently allows adults to grow marijuana for personal (recreational) use, but what is totally different and will be a game-changer internationally is this would allow authorized sales to adults as determined by a local authority," said Stephen Gutwillig, California State Director of the Drug Policy Alliance Network, an organization advocating for changes in drug laws.
The major backers of the initiative - the founder of an Oakland-based marijuana trade school, a retired Orange County judge and various drug law reform organizations - are planning to oversee a $10 million campaign to push the measure.
My first reaction is why do you people care so much about weed? Geez, try being a little incremental and decriminalize it first, don't you think? No way can you go "All in" and expect to get it passed. Yes, I think it would be fucking funny to see what the Federal Government's response to all this would be, but seriously now.. Do you need it legalized? If you couldn't get gay marriage passed, you wont get weed legalized. And if you do, then we sure as hell don't know what our priorities are.
The article may be a little old but it's news since the Secretary of State officially certified the signatures today. So hey, gonna legalize it. We're gonna get our law enforcement funding pulled by the Obama administration and we're gonna slide further into bankruptcy. Can I get a "Hell Yeah" up in this bitch? Who cares about education funding when we can all just kick it with some weeeed, yo. No need for proper school budgets unless they have botany or herbal studies.
It's just not possible at all in this or any other reality. Especially with the mindset of thinking about the children. Even if we're in a sort of California über alles sort of state. Though, anything but a crushing defeat will only propel the legalization movement further, at least to the minds of those who are trying to push this stuff into law.
I realize that weed prohibition has enslaved more American blacks than slavery. And I have heard that if you don't support weed legalization then you implicitly support millions of nonviolent users being sent to prison for it. But you do realize that they just signed a bill in the senate to ban smoking literally everywhere outside, no parks/benches/picnic tables, etc. And you're shooting for a legalization of weed?
It's clear that Obama's administration is dead set against legalization, so this will do nothing. And it won't even reduce crime so long as its still illegal in Mexico. Though really, why are you importing your weed when we have perfectly good room to grow our own locally. Don't you realize you're being bad to the environment by wasting so much gas to transport that Mexican shit over? Come on, man. Think green for a change!
You may think that California is pretty liberal, but California seems to be one of the least progressive states in the nation. California is a metaphorical boulevard of broken dreams. Think of it this way, California gave us Ronald Reagan. All you stoners, do yourself a huge favor and NOT get ripped on voting day. I'd hate to see this share the same fate as a Simpsons episode and you ending up forgetting to vote.
Let's face it. Even Jerry Brown is opposing this. Given, he was a terrible governor decades ago and he's going to be a terrible governor now, too. And when it comes to those undecideds on this issue, they are most likely going to be women in their 30's and 40's with children. Those who don't have children will see that their lazy ass boyfriends are pot heads. So sorry, this shit isn't passing.
And what if it does? Well, just think of the number of Checkpoints on every highway coming out of California. Nevada, Oregon and Arizona will have cops with those dogs sniffing out for the tiniest trace of that demon weed in their vehicles or on persons. It'll be comical, if it's not a nuisance to drive on vacation.
But hey, it does mean that with legalization, the population of California will go up and that would lead to more taxes being levied on them. I mean, everyone loves drugs, right? This can lead to nothing but money raining down on public schools and all the systems that need some funding badly...okay, who am I kidding? All that money will just go to stupid props we pass like crazy trains and more police officers on whatever street corner.
So what's my stance? I really don't give a shit. I don't smoke it. Maybe my Dad would like it. I mean, he does have a pretty mean bong sitting around in his computer area and all. But I frankly don't give a shit about legalization. It's not like it's all that difficult to get now and if you smoke it in the privacy of your own home, what's the problem?
Now I will be pretty peeved if we can get pot legalized but can't get gay rights.

East Meets West with Asian-Style Barbecue
from Chef Alex Dino
What do Filipino inihaw, Korean kalbi, and Japanese yakitori have in common? They're all Asian methods of grilling and barbecuing that are ripe for translation onto mainstream menus. Grilled foods are very popular on American menus, and so is barbecue, from steaks and chicken to ribs. And in fact, American regional barbecue styles are becoming more widely known: Carolina-style chopped pork, Texas smoked brisket, Memphis ribs, Kansas City burnt ends—each with its own distinctive sauce and flavor profile.
Barbecue in Asia shows just as much diversity in the choice of meat and preparation method, and America's growing interest in Asian flavors and ingredients suggests a way to introduce these distinctive styles to food-curious patrons.
Most Asian barbecue has its roots in street food traditions, centered on thinly sliced meats (often skewered) that are boldly flavored and quickly cooked over charcoal.
Did You Know? Filipino cuisine is in its inception on mainstream U.S. menus, making an appearance in fine dining and mixology.
Inihaw, the kind of barbecue I grew up within the Philippines, is made with thinly sliced pork belly, marinated in garlic, soy, vinegar and/or citrus juice, and hot pepper, and served with a dipping sauce that includes many of the same ingredients. Many Filipino cooks also put 7UP or Sprite in their marinade, which helps to tenderize and caramelize the delicious, fatty meat. Other popular Filipino barbecue specialties include whole baby octopus or squid (pusit) and grilled lemongrass chicken, as well as various fish.
Did You Know? Korean barbecue has grown 56.3% on menus over the past four years; bulgogi alone has experienced 40.6% growth.
Korea has a robust tradition of barbecue that is typically based on beef, including bulgogi (thinly sliced steak, such as sirloin or rib-eye) and kalbi (short ribs). The meat is first marinated in a distinctive mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ground black pepper, and other ingredients such as puréed pears or onions (which act as a tenderizer), and served with lettuce leaves and spicy gochujang pepper paste for wrapping.
Many Korean restaurants feature tabletop grills, where the meat can be cooked by either a server or the customer, making for a fun, interactive experience. Seasonal banchan, including kimchi and other vegetable side dishes such as seasoned soybean sprouts, are served alongside.
Did You Know? Yakitori is in the Adoption menu cycle phase, appearing in trendy restaurants and specialty grocery stores.
Japanese yakitori is all about skewered grilled chicken, marinated and basted with a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sometimes sake. Although many diners will be familiar with skewers of bite-size chicken breast or thigh—perhaps threaded with sections of scallions—true yakitori is a celebration of the entire bird, including the tail, skin, livers, gizzards, wings, meatballs, and other parts. Yakitori bars will serve these different skewers à la carte, along with other proteins (for instance, shrimp and squid) and lots of different vegetables, such as mushrooms, asparagus, and shishito peppers. The most authentic cooking fuel is Binchotan white charcoal, which is odorless and burns very hot.
Another style of Asian barbecue to think about is Vietnamese thịt nướng (grilled pork that has been marinated in an aromatic mix of shallots, garlic, lemongrass, honey, fish sauce, and sesame oil). The umami flavor of fish sauce is so pervasive in Southeast Asian cooking that I think of this all-purpose condiment as the ketchup of Asia.
As distinctive and even exotic as Asian barbecue may sound, it's all actually quite approachable—just think thinly sliced meat, a simple marinade, and then onto the grill.
Get Started
Minor's® has a number of sauces and other flavor builders that can bring Asian barbecue within reach for American kitchens.
- Minor's Korean Style BBQ RTU Sauce is ready to use as a grilling sauce for beef and other proteins. Try it in this recipe for Korean Grilled Short Ribs
- Minor's Teriyaki Sauce is all you need to start menuing yakitori specialties
- Like fish sauce, Sriracha, and gochujang, Maggi® Seasoning is an all-purpose flavor booster for Asian barbecue and other recipes
- Minor's Sweet Chili Sauce and Sweet and Spicy Plum Sauce can be crafted into dips for Asian barbecue items
- Introduce Asian barbecue in creative mashups like this Korean BBQ Chicken Taco

The harsh penal codes enacted in Ireland in 1695 against the Irish Catholics left them unable to practice their religion as well as striping them of their land and livestock, leaving them the potato as the main food source.
Just after constructing this assemblage, I read that 2008 was designated the "International Year of the Potato" by the United Nations. The mission of this noble distinction was to highlight the potato's importance as an inexpensive and nutritional food source in an effort to save lives from poverty and hunger. I began to think about this in the context of my family's Irish history.
The reliquary box houses a large "Russary", hand crafted potato shaped polymer beads containing the proper amount and formation as a Catholic Rosary, nestled in a bed of red velvet.
The inside of the reliquary box is ornate. The door is reminiscent of the Celtic Christian's illuminated texts, such as the "Book of Kells", with Práta Slánaitheoir (Potato Savior) painted in elaborate Celtic lettering.
The burnt umber stained exterior of the reliquary box is unadorned, not revealing the beauty that awaits the viewer inside.
Original assemblage 21.5" x 13" pine box, polymer clay beads, wire, acrylic, red velvet fabric, wax paper. Russary Length 25.5" (Original not for sale)

Christmas Decorations Fire Safety
Christmas is just around the corner and a lot of people are still decorating their homes for the holiday. However, what people need to know is they need to consider some very important points in regards to the Christmas decorations fire safety aspect.
Once people know about some of these points to consider, it will be easy for them to enjoy the holidays knowing the decorations they are putting out are not going to cause any harm on their home.
Fire Safety Tips For Christmas Decorations
The first point that people need to consider is to turn the Christmas light decorations off if they are going anywhere. When people do this, they are going to cut off any of the electric that could cause any problems with the lights later on. However, this is also going to make it easier for people to save money on the electric bills during the Christmas holiday time frame.
Another tip is that though you may have electricity knowledge, most fire accidents happen from improvised wiring. For your best safety it is recommended to buy ready made light decorations (see image of LED light net mesh).
They are are professionally made and not expensive, comparing to the fire renovation expenses you might have to pay in case of a fire.
Electricity & Water Accidents
A second point that people need to consider with the Christmas decorations is how they are going to have them ran.
Normally people will be putting these on a tree, which is fine. However, people need to make sure they are getting the tree watered often enough or if the tree is artificial that they look at the wires of the lights to make sure it will not arc. Doing this will help improve the safety of the lights that are on the trees.
Solar LED Decoration is Safer
Using NEW solar light strings is another way to reduce the risk of fires. The LED light strings are using low energy solar power, so they do not need to be attached to the main power line. They are also weather proof, so you can place them on trees, as roof decorations, on hedges and bushes. They are safe even if it is raining! Click here for a safe 200 LED light decoration string.
Don't think a fire isn't a common risk, unfortunately it is, like this story of a Christmas decoration catching fire.
A house was almost burned completely to the ground after a faulty Christmas snowman burst into flames.
Hillary Russell is counting her blessings after escaping her property on the outskirts of Letterkenny.
She said: "I don't want to even think about what could have happened.
"The sitting room is just off the conservatory and only for I was in there I might not have been so lucky."
Hillary was relaxing on her sofa watching television when she noticed a burning smell. Read more.
As many people have found out Christmas is the time of year that the number of house fires tends to increase dramatically.
Paper Decorations For Tree
Decorating the tree and house for Christmas is fun, yet you must make sure that if you have paper ornaments or soft materials which may catch fire easily, you should make sure they are not places near heat bulbs.
It is worth to make sure that warm bulbs are not used on artificial trees, and near delicate decorations. If you have pets, as in cats.. they sometime fuss in and out of the tree and can get decorations to touch a hot bulb. So fix decorations in place, use a metal wire to hold every decor item in the pace where you think is safest.
Get a Small Smoke Detector
Invest in a small smoke detection device, these are low cost, battery operated, which is smart to have at home all year round, but especially during Christmas holidays. When your house is full of electric decorations, a fire is not unthinkable. If you do not have a smoke detector you can get this one (click image) which costs less than $40.
This would not be a problem for a lot of people, but they need to realize that with the Christmas decorations fire safety points being considered it will be easy for them to avoid any problems with their home being one of the ones that are shown on the news.

Reflections on the Past Year
It's had its ups and downs, that's for sure, even though we have remained friends. It's the adjustment that's been difficult. From 25 years of togetherness to singlehood.
Before 'the D', most of my time was taken up by a big old house that needed constant repair and a gigantic yard bordered by flower beds that needed to be constantly deadheaded and weeded. My days were consumed by shopping, meals, laundry, keeping the grown kids coming back for family gatherings… until one day I noticed that my life had become filled with drudgery. I'd become a house elf!
Fast-forward to today – I live in an apartment, small and cozy. The yard work – flowers, trees, snow, mowing - is handled by management. Things that used to weigh me down are pretty much on autopilot.
The introverted side of me is basking in aloneness. Writing, reading, long walks, reflecting, planning, plotting new stories, relishing all the extra time I've found.
But a different, smaller part of me is becoming more vocal, asking tough questions.
What's next?
Is anything next, or is this it?
What is the meaning of my life, the purpose for the rest of it?
I've left the "American dream" behind, heading for a new reality with a slightly hazy vision of the future. And I have to admit - it's a little bit scary.

Wow. A lot has changed in the last year for you. I can hear the growth in your life. 25 years of togetherness is a long time. I n this day and age do you think anyone can make it? Thank you for sharing your growth. Good luck in all you do. Melody

Hi Deb- the questions you are asking yourself are the same ones you asked when you were 18, 21, 30......there was a span of time in there, when you were busy doing things....you did'nt have the time to ask yourself those questions.I think, as long as you are still thinking and talking about the D,,,your healing is not done..you ave to finish that part yet...your purpose is no different than anyone else..we all ask that question, especially as we age, and aging, life changing, has you scared, as most would be..I know I get that way at times.Being on the other side of 40, makes us think more than we should. Think back to your youth, your purpose will be shown to you, you cannot seek it, you can maybe head in a direction, but never really know. It is all one can do. If you are content to have many of the house chores done by someone else,yard, etc...then that is where you start. This past year has been one of settling in for you- you moved, boxed stuff away, gave stuff away...sold stuff....and then had to fix your nest.....now is the time to enjoy your nest, see how it fits you, maybe move some things around..get rid of a few things, get a few things....you are not "done", you are just beginning.No sense worrying for the future..it will come to you , ready or not. Let it come, be surprised, be nervous, enjoy the adventure. Your writing has taken you places, shown you people, there is a lot more of that to come..focus on that. Remember Doris Day- what will be will be. No matter what you do in the way of worry, or fear. It will come...and you will be there to greet it. It seems harder, I know, when we are older, than when we were 20 somethings.....but it is the same premis. You can do it.

Thanks for the encouragement, Melody. Life goes on. We might as well try to keep up:)

SueAnn, you always have such wise advice! It seems I've been asking these questions since the beginning of my life. And you are so right about the healing not being done. Living in the 'Now' is almost impossible, but I'm going to print out your comment and keep it close when I need a reminder. I think you have found your gift...and given it away. Thank you.

You just never know what's next. Let curiosity be your guide. It'll be fun. You'll look back and say "I wouldn't have missed it for the world" ! (My invtroverted self luxuriates in the solitude - as you indicated, you do, too. Ain't it great !?)

I got dejobbed myself, after 17 years of marriage (18.5 years of togetherness total), and was replaced with an older woman with children. I see the humor in that now. I spent the first year on the floor, in a puddle and then things gradually got better.
Like you, I'm still friends with my ex. In fact, in the beginning, he gave me dating advice. A little weird, but it was good dating advice. We still have lunch occasionally, and he complains to me about wife no. 3. That small, petty part of me thinks, "Well, I'm not looking so bad now, am I, BUCKO?"
I've moved on, my life is better, I got no complaints. You will get here too, and you don't have to go it alone. This I promise you.
PS, thanks for posting, it was very powerful.

It took almost 10 years after a divorce for my husband to find me again. His first marriage only lasted 9 months and we have been together since 1980. So it is 34 years in May. You never know if someone from your past will come back into your life or if you will meet someone new. You just have to be open to the possibilities.

We might be introverts, but that doesn't mean we aren't adventurous. Love the sound of silence!

I'm happy your sense of humor returned. And I bet you look at him now and say, "No way would I go there again!"
- March 19, 2014 at 11:02 AM
- Deb said...
34 years! Wow! I have a few pasts that I wouldn't mind meeting up with again:) Although reality and my memories might be two different things. Leaving to open up again is difficult, but I'm on my way. Thanks for the happy story.
- March 19, 2014 at 11:04 AM
Deb, as you know, I was in marital crisis mode at the same time you were, although our outcome was different. But I am still at that same point you are--trying to make sense of, and choosing a direction for, this next phase of my life. You are you, no matter who you are or are not with, and it was clearly a time for you to make changes. One of them was your marital status, one was a change of venue, and it sounds as though traveling more was another.
The point is that now you get to decide independently of anyone else. On the one hand that is scary, but it's also exciting, too. No one to shove you into any particular direction, but also no one to hold you back. Who knows where you'll end up? Someplace good, I know. Can't wait to see where!
- March 19, 2014 at 11:14 AM
- Deb said...
Karen, hope things are working out well for you and that both of us enjoy our journeys wherever they may lead!! So many paths to choose from, so many directions to head in, you are right - scary, but exciting.
- March 19, 2014 at 11:40 AM
- Kathleen Ernst said...
Life is always a journey, and all we can do is try to be open to whatever might be waiting just around the next bend. Take good care of you, Deb, in whatever ways feel right.

I have already read some great comments I wholeheartedly agree with. As you continue doing the things you really want to do for your self, you will meet new friends and perhaps find new hobbies and who know, love could be around the corner again. But then you know what is important to you and what you are wiling to compromise on, so you won't end up a convenient house elf again.
- March 19, 2014 at 12:50 PM
- Deb said...
I've already met new friends and taken up 2 new hobbies - painting and golf, even though I am the least likely to succeed in my 'club'. LOL. Yes, Aurian, I will know what to avoid in the future. That's a lesson well learned.

Cyclone Contracting is the house transforming contractor of selection for Ames and Story County. Choosing the right contractor can make the difference between a profitable residence renovation project and a catastrophe. When you signal a contract for residence enhancements on your homestead, the contractor can legally place a lien on the homestead. Ask them whether or not the contractors were prompt and skilled and how they handled any trouble spots. Architects, Contractors and Interior Designers work very well collectively when building a new home. No matter how big or small your property enchancment vision is, our contractors are right here to help. And as a result of the contractors had loads of room in their schedules, he got the work achieved at his comfort. The contractor is just not keen to supply references or the references provided were not proud of the contractor's work.
We are a proud member of the Better Business Bureau, where you will see solely constructive comments about our home reworking efforts. Maybe not all door-to-door contractors are scammers – however many scammers do work from door to door. You want to learn the reviews carefully to verify the contractor is the correct individual on your job and can work well with you. Confirm that the contractor has at the least a number of years of renovation expertise.
The backside line is that you need to really feel snug with the transforming contractor you select. Angie's List does not allow anonymous opinions, and the site checks to see whether reviewers really used the contractor. A normal contractor is outlined as such if it's the signatory as the builder of the prime building contract for the challenge. From an attic conversion to basement waterproofing, our community has an skilled and skilled native contractor who can get the job accomplished.
Be positive you are looking for contractors which have worked on properties similar to yours or have extensive information along with your mission sort. Before beginning a job the final contractor should first come in and look the house to see what it's that they are doing.
Ask the contractor for a duplicate of his license and copies of the licenses of the main subcontractors who will work on the job. Please discover our pictures, read our testimonials, or name us to study more about how we may help understand your reworking vision. It's our mission to make your search for a house improvement contractor a delight – not a disaster. Some state legal guidelines restrict the amount of cash a contractor can request as a down fee.

TORONTO — Orlando's road woes continued Wednesday with a painful twist.
The Magic dropped to 0-5 away from home after a 113-97 loss in Toronto that saw all-star centre Nikola Vucevic and forward Aaron Gordon exit in the second quarter with right ankle sprains.
"It's tough," said Evan Fournier, who led the Magic with 21 points on the night. "Hopefully it's not too long for Aaron. Vuc seems to have a pretty big sprained ankle. We're going to have to find ways to score the ball differently and kind of adapt the way we play."
"They're hurt, they're not dead. We still have a lot of games left."
Orlando (6-8) and Oklahoma City are the only teams in the NBA yet to win away from home this season.
Vucevic had to be helped off the court with 5:29 remaining in the second quarter. The seven-footer from Montenegro landed awkwardly as he tried to stop a Norman Powell drive to the basket.
X-rays on Vucevic's ankle wee negative but the pain was real.
"It was hard for me to put any pressure on," he said. "We'll see. I'm supposed to get an MRI (Thursday) and then I'll know more after that. It's pretty painful right now.
Gordon had left some three minutes earlier, also landing awkwardly after trying to stop an O.G. Anunoby dunk.
"It was a full jump. I came down and landed on the back of someone's leg and rolled over," Gordon said. "That's why I knew it was hurt a little bit more, because I had jumped all the way up."
Gordon also had an X-ray but there was no immediate word on the result.
Vucevic was coming off an Eastern Conference Player of the Week performance for the period ending Nov. 17.
He averaged 21.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.33 blocks in three home wins for the Magic. He recorded season-highs for points (30) and rebounds (17) in a 125-121 win over Washington.
Vucevic had three points on one-of-seven shooting when he was injured Wednesday. His three-pointer in the first quarter ensured that Orlando has now made at least one three-point field goal in 998 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007 — the fifth-longest active streak in the league.
Vucevic had just five points in a 104-95 loss in Toronto on 1-for-13 shooting on Oct. 28.
Gordon had two points on one-of-three shooting when he exited.
Orlando arrived on the back of three straight home wins over Philadelphia, San Antonio and Washington. The Magic, who lost six of their first eight games of the season, had won four of their previous five.
Wednesday was the first stop of a four-game road trip that will take the Magic to Indiana, Detroit and Cleveland.
Forward Jonathan Isaac returned to the Magic starting lineup after missing two games with an ankle sprain. Isaac, who scored a career-high 24 points in the Oct. 28 loss in Toronto, had 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds.
Orlando guard Michael Carter-Williams missed the game due to left hip irritation.
