On time. It's not just a jazzy catch phrase in the trucking industry. It's an absolute necessity. Kinda like breathing. If ya want to live, you gotta keep breathing. To keep your company alive, you gotta be on time.
Today I'm gonna let you greenhorns (noobs) in on a secret. How do us drivers make sure we get there on time? A Rand McNally Motorcarriers road atlas, a calculator, a notepad, and an intimate knowledge of Interstate highways and US highways. Or, at least that's how we used to do it, back when cellphones weren't smart.
Now we have our beloved Berry, and some of our hard work was left on the side of the road, with the release of BlackBerry traffic, a nifty little app from our favorite north of the border geniuses, Research In Motion. No more measuring miles on maps for me, no sir. I'll let my Berry do that for me.
Look at that, all I had to do was feed it an address. Oh, and look there, a couple of slow downs. Those yellow bars alert you to some traffic slow downs, thank the Lord and Mr. Ford they ain't red.
Need a quick eta? There it is, it's so simple and clean I want to show it off. And I have, most other drivers think I'm coo coo for Cocoa Puffs though. Until they see the rest of the app.
Ah, now that's what every driver needs, directions. Unfortunately, this app doesn't do commercial routing, so don't throw away your road atlas yet, driver.
Ah yes, gotta let your travel agent (dispatcher) know when you'll get there. Nice to be able to get it done kinda automagically, eh?
Dang it, there's gonna be rubberneckers. Better find a way around that if'n you want to not get stuck in traffic, how 'bout it?
If you don't keep your eyes on the road, them gators (tire tread laying on edge, looks like an alligators tail) will getcha. Nice to have a heads up before you get there.
I did have a major problem with this one, since my truck is castrated (governed, unable to go faster) at 65, this app did not perform very accurately. But it did just fine while in my four-wheeler. With a very smooth UI, and a, so far, soothing color scheme, I liked this one as soon as I got my mitts on it. A very enthusiastic 9 and a half gears, my only gripe is not having commercial routing as an option.
So if you have any kinda time critical drivin to do, pick BlackBerry Traffic up in the App World, and start gettin around on time for a change.
Hammerdown Monday is written and posted every other Monday, by ADPerdue, a genuine Long Haul Trucker with eight years on the road, recently certified as having over one million accident and ticket free miles, and a bona fide BlackBerry junkie. Apps are rated from one gear to ten gears, with one meaning "don't use this app even if they pay ya", and ten meaning "if you don't have this app yet, you need some serious head shrinkin".

Why do I want to make as many of my personal care products as possible? It saves me time shopping, money, and I know exactly what I'm putting on my hair and skin. DIY personal care recipes help with avoiding fragrance, phthalates, and chemicals that cosmetic companies sneak into ingredients lists by hiding behind the word fragrance so there is never full disclosure. And if we think back 60 years to how our grandparents washed their hair, face, skin, and kept themselves from being stinky without stores to shop at – well, there must be a way to do this effectively with ingredients already in your kitchen.
I have great DIY tips and so do these talented green bloggers and Facebook fans. Below is a great list of personal care DIY recipes that will replace many store bought products in your bathroom. And chances are if you already own a great big bottle of unrefined coconut oil, you can start making them right away! My thanks to everyone that shared their favourite DIY recipes!
DIY Deodorant:
Alicia from The Soft Landing shared her DIY Antibacterial + Cooling deodorant for Men and Women.
- Mix together equal parts arrowroot powder or cornstarch and baking soda (I usually begin with 1/4 cup of each)
- Stir in enough coconut oil to moisten the mixture, but not so much that it's wet (I usually start with 6-8 Tbsp)
- Add 10-15 drops of peppermint essential oil
- Add 5-10 drops of patchouli
- Add 5-10 drops of cedarwood essential oil
Click on the full article link to find out why each of these ingredients is beneficial to fight the bacteria that causes ordor. This article clearly educates how people can remove aluminum toxicity with cool, earthy pits ~ thanks Alicia!
Facial Scrub:
Beth from The EcoSpheric Blog shares her DIY Brown Sugar Facial Scrub Recipe. I can't wait to try this recipe and will probably omit the essential oil because I love the smell of my raw brown sugar.
- 1/2 c. coconut oil
- 3/4 c. brown sugar
- few drops of the essential oil of your choice (I used Tulsi holy basil from Organic India because it supports the body's healthy response to inflammation and promotes a healthy, clear complexion.)
Now that we've all drooled over how amazing this scrub looks, head on over to the full article link and get the directions and how to use the scrub.
Rachel, from Mommy Greenest shared her 4 ingredient DIY Organic Face Mask. With the added ingredients and instructions, I'm definitely bookmarking this face mask for a weekend treat for my skin. And the ingredient I love the most is raw honey! Here is a teaser from the face mask:
You'll need
- Six tablespoons raw organic sugar
- One free range organic egg white
- One tablespoon organic honey
- One packet plain instant organic oatmeal (uncooked)
Sounds amazing right? Click on over to read the full link and instructions here.
Karen from ecokaren shared an Avocado Face Mask recipe which I'm super happy about because making beauty products from food that turn soft quickly (bananas, avocados) is awesome to prevent food waste. You again need a bit of time to create this face mask recipe, but I love Karen's tip to freeze the extra you'll have from using an entire avocado which becomes a time saver. Here are the ingredients you'll need:
Guacamole Face Mask ingredients
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 1 Egg White – room temperature
- 1 Tsp Lemon Juice
Click over to the recipe's full link for instructions and tips for freezing and testing. I would also recommend a test first on your arm with using lemon juice to ensure skin isn't sensitive.
Other Facial Scrubs:
Donna, shared on the Mommy Footprint fan page that she mixes coconut oil with ground himalayan rock salt. She keeps a little pot in the shower, massage it, rinse in the shower, then wipe with a dry towel. Donna no longer needs face cream and her skin texture is improving. Thanks for sharing!
Personally, I've been mixing unrefined coconut oil with baking soda to exfoliate and love using this for my daily scrub. I also find my face is perfectly moisturized and I always have these two ingredients on hand so it's an easy recipe to maintain. I put a glob of coconut oil into a cup then add enough baking soda that there is some grit but be careful to start if you have sensitive skin.
DIY Hair Care:
Sarah from Mindfully Frugal Mom sent us her article for creating a Coconut Oil Hair Mask. This is another DIY recipe that sounds amazing, especially because 2 of the 3 ingredients are coconut oil and a banana. We always have those on hand! Here are the ingredients:
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (use even less if you have fine or short hair)
- 1 tbsp coconut milk
- 1 ripe banana
It's suggested this mask stays in for 30 minutes, so carve out some time when trying this recipe. Click on the full link to read the directions and advice on using Sarah's coconut oil hair mask.
Other DIY Hair Care Tips:
Corry responded on our Fan Page about a routine she uses for removing hair build up. She puts cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it on freshly shampoed hair and wait a few minutes. Then rinse it out. I have also heard of just putting the cider vinegar in a container with water and rinsing the hair with it but that gets quite pricey. This method works well and removes hair product build up.
For years I've used coconut oil to smooth or slick my hair at the ends or instead of using gel for smooth ponytails. You just need a dime size amount that you warm up in your palms. Apply to the ends of your dry hair and it can be used for easy styling.
DIY Perfume:
Rachel from Mommy Greenest saves the day with this 1 minute and 3 ingredient DIY perfume recipe. With so many people in the population suffering from scent sensitivities (me, me, me!) it's a gift to those that surround you to know ditch synthetic perfumes. They can be overpowering to many people and for those that wear them, you might be causing your own body hormone disruption.
Oh, and you can make a gigantic bottle for less than $30! You'll need:
- One clean spray bottle—preferably a dark-colored glass to block UV rays so your perfume stays stable longer.
- One big bottle of pure cooking vanilla—organic is best, but either way just make sure there's no sugar in the mix.
- One or more small bottles of essential oil—I love rose geranium, rose and lavender mixed with the vanilla; experiment to find out what you like best.
If you want to make this DIY perfume, click over to the full recipe link and get Rachel's advice on the best essential oils to use and directions. Awesome stuff Rachel!
DIY in 1 step Recipes:
These are my tips. After reading the amazing guests posts, I'm feeling that my personal care regime needs to step it up a notch. I seem to gravitate to 1 ingredient DIY recipes for personal care. Here are my favourites:
Shaving your legs: Use Dr. Bronners liquid castile soap. It's organic, fair trade, and you're probably already using it for 30 other things in your home. It can easily replace shaving cream that actually contains teflon. It's an easy switch and use coconut oil to moisure body after shaving.
Deodorant: this one always gets a few blinks of dis-belief from people but I love it and it works! Cut a lemon or lime in half and rub under your arm pits. I've even used it freshly after shaving and experiences no burning sensation. The juice dries quickly, doesn't stain my clothing, and is SUPER effective against body odor.
Tooth Whitening: oil pulling. If you haven't tried swishing with coconut oil, you are missing out! Especially if you are buying toxic, tooth whitening kits that are also really expensive. All you need is unrefined coconut oil and you are set. Full instructions found here.
Eye Makeup Remover: coconut oil again to the rescue. Put coconut oil on a washcloth, paper, or q-tip and rub across your closed eye. The oil will remove all makeup so you can wash your face easily before bed time.
I'll do a followup post with more DIY recipes for personal care. If you would like your recipe to be included in the next roundup, post it in the comments or on the Mommy Footprint fan page.

Abaddon was the owner of a Delta Quadrant junkyard and space station. In 2376, the crew stopped there to trade. He sold Alice, a supposedly "haunted" ship, to Tom Paris.
When strange things began happening to Paris, the USS Voyager contacted Abaddon to ask if he could help. He informed them that the ship was sold to him by a Haakonian trader, who claimed it was haunted. However, when he attempted to give further information, Alice appeared to Abaddon, looking like a member of his own species, and ordered Abaddon to remain silent. Literally almost frightened to death, he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The Doctor was able to help him and gave him a cortical suppressant to prevent any further attacks. Abaddon revealed that he was once linked with Alice, who used a neurogenic interface to torment him until he found a pilot to guide her to an unknown point in space. a deleted scene would have shown "Alice" back in the Junkyard after its destruction (VOY: "Alice")

Facebook is now in the gift card business, so if you want to send a gift card to a handful of businesses, the social network will send the new Facebook Card to your friend's doorstep.
Previously, Facebook launched Facebook Gifts, which lets users send gifts to their Facebook friends' homes. So it's not surprising that Facebook is now letting users send Facebook gift cards to their friends, too. The reusable cards can be used at Jamba Juice, Olive Garden, Sephora and Target, according to Facebook.
U.S. & World
The only different part about this card is that it can be loaded again at any time. So, if there's another holiday, you can send a monetary gift, and the friend will be notified and the money will be automatically loaded onto the card in his or her wallet. Not bad, because it differentiates itself from the run-of-the-mill disposable gift card. It also can hold multiple balances at any of the four places it's currently used.
The Facebook Card is a natural progression from Facebook Gifts, and possibly may be a popular one provided Facebook gets more retailers and restaurant chains on board.

The Body - Canvas and Muse:
New Show Opens at the Lincoln Art Institute
Send a link to a friend
[July 08, 2014]
LINCOLN - For over a thousand years the
human body has served as a "canvas" -- with tattoos, henna, body
painting, and piercings -- as well as "inspiration" for stunning
sculptures, drawings, paintings, and photographs -- think
Michelangelo's "David", Botticelli's "Birth of Venus", and Manet's
Logan County Art's new show "The Body -- Canvas and Muse"
consists of figures drawn or painted by LCA members and based on
models in local workshops or classes during the past couple months.
Featured artists include Georgie Borchardt, Jennifer Grimaldi, Lee
Hahn, Bonnie Mayo, Pam Moriearty, Toby Prange, Kerry Rolewicz, Nancy
Saul, and Tony Shuff.
The show opens Thursday July 10th, at the Lincoln Art Institute,
with a reception that's open to the public between 5-8 p.m. that
evening. The gallery is located at 112 S. McLean St., next to the
post office on Lincoln's historic downtown square.

2 October 2013 - The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) is seeking comments on the candidate OGC standard, "Geographic Information – Well Known Text (WKT) for coordinate reference systems.
OGC Well Known Text offers a compact machine-readable and human-readable representation of geometric objects. WKT can also be used for succinctly describing the critical elements of coordinate reference system (CRS) definitions.
WKT is described in the OGC standard "Geographic information – Simple feature access – Part 1: Common architecture" (also International Standard ISO 19125-1:2004). The WKT representation of coordinate reference systems was subsequently extended in other OGC standards. As a result, there are inconsistencies in how WKT CRS is expressed in various OGC and ISO standards.
This draft standard provides an updated version of WKT representation of coordinate reference systems that follows the provisions of OGC Abstract Specification Topic 2 (ISO 19111:2007) Spatial Referencing by Coordinates. The draft extends earlier WKT to allow for the description of coordinate transformations. This draft standard defines the structure and content of well known text strings. It does not prescribe how implementations should read or write these strings.
Comments are due by 1 November 2013, but we encourage those interested to comment by 26th October. This draft has been submitted by the OGC to ISO TC211 as a Committee Draft for ballot as a Draft International Standard (document N3596). Comments received as part of the OGC RFC by 26th October will be fed into the ISO ballot.
All OGC standards are free and publicly available. Download the candidate OGC WKT CRS draft standard at http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/112. A proof of concept evaluation package may be downloaded at https://github.com/Esri/ogc-crs-wkt-parser.
The OGC is an international consortium of more than 475 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make geospatial information and services accessible and useful with any application that needs to be geospatially enabled.

Gas bottle re-fill
Posted by johnf_murphy1
This forum is currently read only. You can not log in or make any changes. Please use new forum platform at www.iwai.ie/bbpress.
As Dixon of Dockgreen used to say, "Evening All" (if you remember who he was, then you are really old - just like me). I need to re-fill my 6 kg Calor Patio gas cylinder (grey in colour). The depth of my gas locker is 22 inches so only the 6 kg cylinder will fit. I am living in Roscrea but there are no suppliers in this area. Your help will be appreciated. BTW, I bet that you can't remember the name of the chap who played the part (No Googling!!).
I dont know about An Gaisce "Fame" but I was involved in it very many years ago. I was in the Army then and we (ie Defence Forces Mountaineering Instructor) helped to organise various events involving abseiling, zip-line etc. If you had served in the DF then our paths could well have crossed. If not, sure not to worry, perhaps our wakes may cross at some stage and we can swap stories (if not gas bottles!).
Now this could be a co-incidence or a shot in the dark. I'm a Scouter in Roscrea (despite my best efforts not to be one at my age!) but one of our other Leaders is Dawn Harvey who lives up the road from me. She mentioned to me last year that her father was a boater (in fact a Bargee), would you be that man?. Its a small world and even a smaller country, so we will see where this shot lands. Best regards, John F
Well ... maybe so, but "one must sink or swim". I find, that just to make the effort can make it all worthwhile. However it can be very difficult to keep up with the constantly changing and upgrading of devices unless you persevere. Modern day evolution methinks. BTW (thats a great abbreviation), if I could only master the skill of typing the air (or tune) of the program, Dixon of Dock Green, I could have all of us "Old Fogies" singing along. All together now "La la la, la la, la la .............". Now, back to boating matters.

Through its membership retention studies, the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association found that clubs with unacceptably high attrition rates tend to have a weak customer relationship management program (CRM), meaning no cost-effective, member-centric focus or plan. As an enticement to close the sale, these clubs tend to over promise and under-deliver. Once the new member comes through the front door, there is no formal mechanism to keep them from leaving through the back door. Instead, the club tends to react only after it receives the membership cancellation.
In the March 2004 issue of Fitness Business Pro (then called Club Industry), I introduced in the Focus On Retention column the concept of the member integration layering process (MILP™) as a strategic concept/option that can potentially offset the adverse financial impact of membership attrition. MILP™ is based on the operational assumption that each club member's experience should be consistently positive, intentional, differentiated and valuable. If this occurs, not only will the new member recruitment process be easier and retention be higher, but referrals from satisfied members will increase.
The Saw Mill Club — a 150,000-square-foot, multi-purpose facility in Westchester County, NY, with 20 personal trainers and 26 group exercise instructors — is part of a five-club group that is owned and managed by the Saw Mill Management Co. The club developed its solution to the membership retention puzzle by developing and launching its New Member Introduction Program (NMIP™). Just like the parameters of the MILP™, the Saw Mill NMIP™ is designed to track, manage and transition new members into the Saw Mill value-added club experience. Each department works together so that each member's experience is synergistically managed.
NMIP™ is designed to proactively track new members for their first 90 days. Within 10 days, each new member is scheduled for three appointments and for a re-evaluation appointment within the 90-day cycle. After the third appointment, the new member is actively "touched" (aka managed) four more times. There are two upsides to the NMIP™. The first upside is full member integration into the Saw Mill value-added experience, which means fewer members are "lost." The second upside is increased revenue fee-based programming, specifically personal training.
According to Kevin Kane, Saw Mill general manager, it is the proactive and interactive nature of the NMIP™ that positions new members for success. Even though the Fitness Department has a "gatekeeper" role, it is the synergistic support that makes the "road map" work, states Kane.
Each NMI personal trainer with great relationship-building skills is responsible for activating each new member's record in the Bookings Plus System. This gives the administrator a running history for new members who have gone through the system. Appointment dates, cancellations, no shows and left messages are recorded so that staff can make sure they get members into the system, according to Andrew Guida, fitness director and administrator. Bookings Plus is the tool that the administrator uses to hold the NMI-specific trainers accountable for their performance goals. The goals are to have 50 percent of new members enter the NMI process (61 percent actually enter the program), 50 percent to complete the process (49 percent actually complete it) and 25 percent to purchase personal training (25 percent actually purchase personal training).
What makes the NMIP™ at Saw Mill so unique? It has identified (1) what it takes to successfully integrate diversified members into the Saw Mill Club experience; (2) the CRM tools needed to manage and integrate new members; (3) specific performance goals to evaluate the success of the NMIP™; and (4) a "gatekeeper," or the fitness director and his/her team, to manage the NMIP™.
It is also important to note that during the 90-day cycle, each new member is assigned to the same trainer. This is why each NMIP™ trainer must have exceptional relationship-building skills.
How would you, as an operator/owner, honestly rate and/or classify the experience that your members encounter every day? Is it a random experience; that is, is it inconsistent and unintentional with no special value? Is it a predictable experience; that is, is it sometimes consistent, sometimes intentional, not really differentiated and not really valuable? Is it a value-added, branded experience that is always consistent, always intentional, always differentiated and always valuable? If not, you should rethink your CRM.

I decided to create an Easter card using the brand new Super Star stamp set, while mixing and matching older sets to create a custom Easter sentiment. I wanted the card to be more faith based, and the starburst in Super Star made for the perfect rising sun. The resurrection of Jesus is what we celebrate this time of year, and I wanted to create a card with this in mind.
My new plates were also delivered, and I was able to use the Chevron impression plate...and let me just say, I am super impressed with it! I have had metal impression plates from other companies and gotten rid of them because they worked horribly, and warped. The WPlus9 impression plate is sturdy and hard....and it embossed beautifully. I am SO excited that Dawn has introduced them, and I can't wait to see what other plates she comes up with! Without further ado, here is what I created!
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (vintage cream, kraft)
Card Challenges Used:
-The Pink Elephant #142- clean & simple
-The Kraft Journal #65- spring or Easter
-Fab N Funky #115- embossing
-Simon Says Stamp challenge- favorite tool (corner rounder)
-Paper Sundaes #114- Easter
-One Stop Craft challenge #176- Easter
-Raise the Bar #98- religious Easter
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the WPlus9 team has come up with for group post night! And be sure to head over to the WPlus9 and pick up your must haves!!

Last month, we reported the exciting news that James Gunn (Super) was in talks to direct Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Today, Gunn has confirmed that he will direct the film, and he will also rewrite Chris McCoy and Nicole Perlman's script. Guardians is by far the strangest Marvel movie to date (a talking space raccoon is just one of the more bizarre elements), and getting an offbeat voice like Gunn in the director's chair is a savvy move on behalf of Marvel and President of Production Kevin Feige. I'm also jazzed that he'll be writing the script. As we saw with The Avengers, when the director is also the writer, the project can truly take on a unique personality.
Hit the jump for more including a statement from Gunn. Guardians of the Galaxy is due out August 1, 2014.
Gunn announced his hiring on his Facebook page by releasing this statement:
For a month or so there's been a lot of Internet speculation about my involvement with Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Until now I haven't said anything, because I'm trying to be less expulsive about this project than I am about the rest of my life. But last night I got the go-ahead from Kevin Feige to let you all know that, yes, indeed, I am rewriting and directing Guardians of the Galaxy. As a lifelong lover of Marvel comics, space epics, AND raccoons, this is the movie I've been waiting to make since I was nine years old. Kevin, Joss, and all the folks at Marvel have been amazing collaborators so far, and we're committed to bringing you something majestic, beautiful, and unique. I am incredibly excited. I am also incredibly grateful to the fans and the press for all their words of encouragement and support regarding my involvement with this project since the news first leaked. Thanks – you have, honestly, touched and overwhelmed me. And that's it for now. Other than the occasional photos of my dog and cat here on Facebook, I'll talk to you again in August 2014 when Guardians is released!
I'm sure we'll hear a little more from him before August 2014, although it will be in an official capacity rather than his usual off-the-cuff remarks from his Facebook and Twitter feeds.
Last week, Joss Whedon commented on what we can expect from Gunn's take on the material:
"He has a very twisted take on it, but it all comes from a real love for the material. It's going to be hard for the humans to keep up. I know he's going to come from left field and I'm going to go, 'What?' And then, 'Of course, why didn't I think of that?' And then I'm going to beat him!"
For those unfamiliar with Guardians of the Galaxy, the team of intergalactic defenders features the characters StarLord, Rocket Raccoon, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and Groot. It's been speculated that this movie will do the heavy lifting of transitioning the villain Thanos into The Avengers 2.

The Germantown Friends basketball team is not wimpy. Lacking size they go up against some big teams in the Friends league, but they do not back down.
Friday against Academy of New Church this was the case. ANC is huge, with three players committed to Division One powerhouses.Even though the score got ugly and GFS was not happy with their execution you could not question their effort. Even late in the game they were still scrapping, diving for loose balls and fighting for every possession.
ANC started the game with 15 straight points, including an alley-oop to Syracuse bound senior Rakeem Christmas.Will Randall finally scored for the Tigers. The ANC Lions' length really bothered GFS, their long arms continually deflecting passes and leading to steals. GFS tried to run their offe- nse but the Lions disrupted it. Randall did score another basket, this time a three after a Tyler Clausen-Wolf steal, but by the end of the quarter it was 28-5 ANC.
ANC pulled the starters out. Their second five was tough too, but it did look like more of an even contest. GFS got a block and Gil- man Myran worked hard and got to the free throw line where he hit a pair. He would score again a few possessions later. With the starters back in ANC made one last push before halftime for a commanding lead. Villanova bound junior Savon Lloyd-Goodman had three dunks in a row, two off steals and the final one an alley-oop where he slammed it home, rattling the backboard. It was 44-11 ANC at half.
ANC's Pitt bound 7' senior Malcolm Gilbert started the second half with one of his five blocks. Then he caught the ball on the break, slammed it home and got to the free throw line. It was pure domination by the visitors.They had another 28 point quarter. Clausen-Wolf scored for GFS, as did Clay Fairbanks with two free throws. Jesse Smith hit a three. It was 72-18 after three quarters. The fourth quarter ANC emptied their bench, but GFS kept fighting. Smith hit another three. They dove for loose balls.They played hard to the buzzer, and could be proud of themselves for the effort.
Even though it looked like they fought hard the players were not happy with their effort. "We didn't play defense at all," said Myran. "It was tough. Even when they pulled their starters, we were nervous, we didn't hang on the ball, took quick shots.Our game plan was to get good possessions, get open shots, we didn't do that at all. We let them dictate style of play, which was quick and that's not what we wanted at all. We'll come back to practice on Monday, work hard and try to figure it out. Next three games, it's not going to get much easier, maybe a little bit but not much so we have to come ready to play. It's a good wake up call for the rest of our league games. You just have to forget about it and move on."
"It was a tough one," said point guard Hank Goldenberg. "For a lot of these guys on our team its hard to go up against these 6'6" guys in that atmosphere, there's a lot of hands in your face. People get rattled. Just try and did the best we could out there and keep our composure. We tried to, but with their long arms the plays we were trying to run weren't working they got their hands on a lot of balls. Our coach tried to preach the little things like boxing out to try and keep us in it, but we definitely could have done a better job of keeping our composure.Sometimes from the beginning to the end it seems like a battle but you have to keep fighting, keep going. I'm proud, the focus combined with the effort would have helped a little more but we worked hard, kept going."
GFS coach Brandon Jones said, "It was a rough one for us. Our effort was there but our execution was lacking at times. They're a good team and if you let them get on a run it's tough. We got caught up in their speed ran into a track meet, and it took us out of our flow. We did. After we realized they're just another team, we have five they have five, but at that point the whole was dug. We were taking too many three pointers. It's a lesson for these guys. We ran to an open shot in practice but the game comes and guys tiptoe to the spot. We need to do what we do rather than letting the speed of the game taking us out of what we need to do."
Gilbert said of the Lions, "We're looking really good, way better than last year. We've come together as a family now, really connected. It's a good thing." About their prospects for going far in the state tournament the soft-spoken senior said, "I think they're really high, we have a great chance of winning states this year. I have no doubt we can beat whoever we play."

Masked attacker throws acid in Bolshoi director's face
- Sergei Filin was named artistic director in 2011
- Attack occurred outside Filin%27s home in central Moscow
A masked assailant splashed acid into the face of the Bolshoi Theater's artistic director late Thursday, leaving him with severe burns and possible lost of sight.
Sergei Filin, 42, was attacked as he got out of his car outside his home in central Moscow, according to a police spokesman, Sky News reports.
"I got scared and I thought he was going to shoot me," Filin, his head and face covered with white bandages, said in an interview with REN TV. "I turned around to run, but he raced ahead of me."
Filin said the attacker wore a hood and either a mask or a scarf, so only his eyes were visible.
The former Bolshoi ballet star, who has been receiving threats since December, was appointed artistic director for the legendary theater in March 2011 after a fierce competition.
Bolshoi general director Anatoly Iksanov told Channel One TV that he believes the attack was linked to Filin's professional work.
"He is a man of principle and never compromised," Iksanov said. "If he believed that this or that dancer was not ready or was unable to perform this or that part, he would turn them down."
Filin knew that someone was threatening him or trying to undermine his position, Iksanov said.
He said Filin's car tires had been slashed earlier this week and he was targeted in early January by hackers who posted his professional correspondence online.
"He said 'I have a feeling that I am on the front lines,'" Iksanov quoted Filin as telling him Thursday before the attack.
Iksanov later backed away from the suggestion that the attack was linked to Filin's casting decisions, the Associated Press reported.
"The goal (of the attack) was to create a split and disagreement in the theater's management," Iksanov told journalists gathered at the theater. Channel One deleted his statement from its reports later in the day.
Filin was hospitalized with severe burns of multiple degrees to his face and eyes, RT reports, including third-degree cornea burns.
Doctors say he will need plastic surgery and will likely need a wig, as his hair is expected to being falling out.
Bolshoi officials plan to send Filin to a foreign clinic -- likely in Germany or Israel -- for treatment, Interfax news agency reported.
Alexei Ratmansky, who was the Bolshoi ballet's artistic director from 2004 until 2008, described an atmosphere of intrigue at the theater.
"What happened with Sergei Filin was not accidental," Ratmansky, now an artist-in-residence at the American Ballet Theater, posted on his Facebook page. "The Bolshoi has many ills. It's a disgusting cesspool, of those developing friendships with the artists, the speculators and scalpers, the half-crazy fans ready to bite the throats of the rivals of their favorites, the cynical hackers, the lies in the press and the scandalous interviews of staff.
"This is all one snowball caused by the lack of any ethics at the theater," Ratmaksy writes, while wishing Filin "a speedy recovery and courage."
The Bolshoi Theater reopened in October 2011 after a massive six-year reconstruction effort.
In 2011 two ballet stars -- Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev -- resigned in protest at the Bolshoi's new repertoire, the BBC reported.

Guildford, UK, 2 November 2011 – The Government has awarded industrial gases company BOC £1.5 million from its Regional Growth Fund to support the construction of a new Dissolved Acetylene production facility in North East Lincolnshire.
BOC, a member of the The Linde Group, is proposing to site the facility next to its existing Special Gases plant at Immingham. Subject to final planning permission, work on the project, worth around £20 million in total, will begin with a view to the plant becoming operational in 2012. The new facility is expected to generate around 40 jobs (direct and indirect).
Dissolved acetylene is used in a wide range of industrial processes by over 160,000 customers of BOC across the UK. It is used for welding and cutting operations as well as in the hardening of metals. As such it is a key technology in many engineering and infrastructure programmes.
Mike Huggon, Managing Director of BOC, said: "I am delighted that the Government has recognised the strategic importance of this project to the UK economy. The new plant that we are proposing to construct at Immingham is designed to provide the UK with a state of the art production and filling facility suited to the demands of 21st century engineering."
Councillor Chris Shaw, Leader of North East Lincolnshire Council said: "I am delighted that BOC has secured this investment which will lead to quality jobs in the area. The project is a prime example of how the private sector, council and MPs can successfully work together under one voice for the benefit of the area."
Tony Ogden, Manager of BOC Operations at Immingham and Chairman of Humber Chemical Focus, commented: "This investment will be a real stimulus for the economy both at local and national level. It will create new jobs in the Humber region as well as servicing the needs of the wider UK industrial community."
The planned new DA facility is part of a coordinated programme to strengthen the supply chain for this product. BOC is investing nearly £10 million in the latest 'ecological porous mass' cylinders which contain greater volumes of gas within the same cylinder sizes.
The company is also reinforcing and formalising commercial agreements with third party suppliers in Europe to ensure stable, secure yet flexible supplies. The new cylinder technology is compatible with systems used by continental suppliers and this will simplify technical compatibility and quality assurance.
Taken together, these investments will make the supply chain more flexible and responsive to variations in demand within the marketplace in the UK and Ireland.
BOC is a member of The Linde Group. An industrial, medical and special gases provider, the company supplies compressed and bulk gases, chemicals and equipment. For more than a century the company's gases and expertise have contributed to advances in many areas of everyday life, and industries including steelmaking, refining, chemical processing, environmental protection, wastewater treatment, welding and cutting, food processing and distribution, glass production, electronics and health care.

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. – ClickOrlando.com's High School Game of the Week went on the road to Winter Springs this week to cover the Winter Springs Bears welcoming the Oviedo Lions on Winter Springs Senior Night.
First off I have to send a great thank you to the Oviedo parent who so generously lended this reporter some bug spray. If it were not for you, I would have been covered more than I already am in mosquito bites!
But, this article is not about me so let's get to the game!
Oviedo came into tonight 7-1 and completely in control of its season. The Winter Springs Bears came into tonight at 1-7 and a win over Oviedo would be a high point on a season that has been deemed a disappointing one.
The first half was all Oviedo, all the time. Oviedo jumped out to a 21-0 lead and virtually never looked back in this game.
Lion's running back Jurell Green rushed for 2 scores and Macolm Bryant caught a magnificent pass from QB Chris Davis to put the Lions up 28-0.
The Bears would add a score at the end of the first half to make the score 28-7.
However, the second half was a case of mistaken identity for the Bears who may have been lost in the first half but found themselves in the second scoring 22 points and fighting the all way.
Oviedo would tack on a couple of scores as well and would go on to be victorious 41-29. The game seemed as if it was never in doubt for the Lions as they kept the ball on ground and kept the clock moving in the second half.
Wes Allen's Oviedo squad now improves to 8-1 and Winter Springs drop s to 1-8.

I fought him a bunch in the last day. He pretends like he didn't die to me multiple times. And then went on to say 1v1s don't count unless they are in arena and for gold? This new mentality is comical to me. But whatever gets ya going.
Anyways here is a little compilation not including the 3v3 and 2v2 he lost in the last day.

Has any mage here died to Jerry 1 vs 1 in the last year?
This one needs a little explaining. He had a stealther who kept dismounting and bolaing me and killing my pet and trying to disarm me. Anyways they both tele over when I had him sashed up... and... (its shaq o'neil- i know its hard to read).. so nice 2v1 here.
His bok mage. He was trying to talk shit while running along side his hyru healing.
Then his DP char..
After this is when he started claiming none of these happened and that its arena and gold or bust. Also said my kills were luck- so it was very contradictory IMO. Was not going to post until he started lying about it.
Also, there are 2 stealth guys named Hmmm that saved him multiple times OTHER than these screenshots last nights with dismounts and disarms and shatters.

Checking in on… Conference USAPosted by jstevrtc on January 26th, 2010
James Vickers is the RTC correspondent for Conference USA.
In what has been a crazy year defined by change for Conference USA, this past week in Conference USA basketball was no different. A streak ended, there is a new outright conference leader for the first time in four years, and there is a freshman who doesn't go to Memphis that is grabbing national headlines. Marshall showed its conference-mates that they are a legitimate contender, even if they did go 0-2 for the week. Was losing a game addition by subtraction for Memphis? The Tigers had a streak end that we all know lasted for four years; however, the way they bounced back in their game against Houston, is the monkey off their back for the year? What is wrong with Tulsa? Is UTEP now the team to beat in conference play? Can the conference show any form or consistency whatsoever?
Many questions can be asked about conference play from the past week. I hope to tackle a number of these in the upcoming team capsules. What we did find out was that the conference race this year will go down to the wire. The parity in conference play will make for a better chance of multiple bids from CUSA.
The Blazers are off to the best start in school history since the 1985-86 and 1993-94 campaigns. The Blazers can also be considered this years "Cardiac Kids" and the school should consider giving free EKG's to their fan base plans to watch their games night after night. Trailing with 5:30 left in the second half against Southern Miss (53-47) and going almost seven minutes without a field goal in the second half against Marshall, the Blazers showed their resiliency and fought through to come out of the week 2-0 and become co-leaders of the conference with Tulsa. Junior Elijah Millsap (younger brother of Utah Jazz F Paul Millsap) continues his solid conference play, registering his league best 10th double-double against Southern Miss but was held in check against a longer and more athletic Marshall. UAB will continue to rely heavily on their guard play from Millsap, using his size and strength to get to the basket with ease in a conference where size at the guard position is at a premium. Aaron Johnson will be the "Big Man on Campus" this week for the Blazers, hitting the game winner against Southern Miss and canning five free throws in the final five minutes of play against Marshall to help seal the win. UAB will continue to need this type of play from their guards Johnson and Millsap if they want to continue to lead CUSA as the play of their low post players has left people desiring more. Howard Crawford continues to have a solid season (12.5/4.8) against Marshall with 19 pts and 8 rebs. The rest of league play will be much easier for the Blazers if they can rely on low post scoring from Crawford and the continued emergence of Johnson since his streaky beginning to the season. While UAB might not be the deepest or most talented team in CUSA, they have been battle-tested in out-of-conference play. The Blazers have a home-and-home remaining with Memphis and UTEP, and home games against Tulsa and Houston. The bulk of their schedule remains, but a regular season conference title is not out of the question.
Tulsa (5-0, 16-3)
The Golden Hurricanes struggled this week against what can only be defined as inferior opponents. Tulsa trailed by as much as 15 in a game where, to be honest, Oral Roberts should not have been on the court with them. But in rivalry games like the Mayor's Cup, anything can happen. Should Tulsa worry from this game? I think so. Against a smaller, faster team, the Golden Hurricanes were clearly out-hustled in this game. Tulsa, who led the country in rebounding differential at 9.9 RPG, was out-rebounded with Jerome Jordan in foul trouble and on the bench for most of the game. Tulsa trailed in this game for almost 34 minutes. The Golden Hurricanes shot 22% behind the arc and a paltry 61% at the free throw line. Fast-forward to the Rice game, and the numbers aren't much better. Tulsa's trouble from behind the arc continued, shooting just 18%, and 68% from the free throw line. Can this be considered just a mid-season slump, or are there underlying issues that coach Doug Wojcik must take care of as the bulk of conference play remains and a date against Duke looming in the near future (Feb. 25.)
Marshall (4-1, 15-4)
In what can be described as a moral victory in the mold of Memphis' game versus Kansas, Marhsall lost to West Virginia this week, 68-60. This game will be used as a measuring stick for the Marshall coaching staff down the road. Hassan Whiteside continues his assault on college basketball this year, turning in a solid outing against the Mountaineers with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. The Herd used a stifling zone in the first half that held the Mountaineers without a field goal for the first five minutes of the game. The use of this zone will come in handy in CUSA play against the likes of Memphis, UTEP, and Tulsa, who all like to drive to the basket and pound the ball down low. Against UAB, the Herd held the Blazers without a field goal for almost seven minutes in the second half, yet could not make it over the hump to finally take the lead for good. The Herd struggled mightily from behind the arc against UAB's man defense, shooting just 11%, and only 59% from the free throw line. Youth can be blamed for many of the mid-season struggles that Marshall had this past week. With a Wednesday game this week against Memphis, Herd fans will finally be able to see…is this the year we make it over the hump, or will we have to wait another year?
Memphis (4-1, 14-5)
The streak is over. The world is ending in Memphis, some fans would say. Not the time to get down on your Tigers, Memphis. Memphis' failure to execute down the stretch cost the Tigers the game against UTEP. Alternating between man defense and a solid zone, UTEP hit some amazing shots down the stretch and the ball just didn't bounce the Tiger's way on Wednesday night. Tiger fans should take solace in the play of Pierre Henderson-Niles and Wesley Witherspoon. Showing a renewed toughness, Witherspoon has begun to use his size and versatility to get to the basket for shots and rebounds. Against UTEP, Witherspoon totaled 12/4 and against Houston he tallied 20/6 in what was his best line of the year. Niles has produced solid numbers as well over the past week with 7/9 and 8/7. This developing low post presence for the Tigers bodes well down the line. The breakout half for Roburt Sallie against Houston also is a welcome sign for coach Josh Pastner. While earning just three points in the first half against the Cougars, Sallie finished with 20/7. It was a welcome sight for Tiger fans that their players did not show any signs of a hangover against Houston, and actually showed new signs of life. You never want to lose, but especially not to UTEP where former Memphis coach Tony Barbee currently resides. But after this loss, the Tigers seemed to play a little less tight and enjoyed the game more. The final Memphis box score for the game:
|Pierre Henderson-Niles, F
|Roburt Sallie, G
|Wesley Witherspoon, G-F
|Elliot Williams, G
|Doneal Mack, G
|Willie Kemp, G
|Will Coleman, F
|D.J. Stephens, G-F
One could make the simple assumption early in the year that as Elliot Williams went, so did the Tigers. If Williams was on the bench, this would equal bad news. Against the Cougars, Williams was on the bench for approximately 17 minutes. This night, your role players stepped up and contributed. Could this be the game that finally turns the corner for many of these players? Solid contribution from Witherspoon on a game-by-game basis will propel the Tigers to the next level. Contribution on a nightly basis from either Doneal Mack or Roburt Sallie will also push the Tigers to further success. With games on the horizon against Marshall, UAB and Gonzaga, the Tigers will need solid contribution from their entire core to come out on the winning side in this stretch.
Randy Culpepper could be the poster boy for the saying "size doesn't matter." Culpepper, it seems, has the green light to take a shot once he crosses onto the Miners' side of the court. Culpepper (17/3/2) had a solid night in his return home to Memphis along with the two other Memphians on the UTEP bench, ending Memphis' run on Conference USA. Playing with chips on their shoulders, Jeremy Williams chipped in 18/12, Culpepper tossed in 13/1 and Arnett Moultrie added 6/4 but was solid on the defensive end, keeping the Memphis wing players from driving to the basket. Is there much that can be taken from this game? I believe it further displayed what many have known all year about the Tigers. The trio of Williams, Moultrie and Derrick Caracter exposed Memphis' lack of depth in the front court, and their energy around the basket on the offensive end of the court tipped the scales in their favor. Down the stretch, being able to alternate subbing between Caracter and Moultrie will spell big success for the Miners in conference play. If they can continue to get solid play from Williams after his breakout game against the Tigers, the Miners will be a top contender for the regular season title. If, however, the Memphis game was an aberration, with players playing over their heads coming home to play in the forum, this could spell trouble. Against a solid UCF team, UTEP took a step in dispelling this train of thought. Once again winning the rebounding battle against the Black Knights, the Miners leaned on their sharp shooter Randy Culpepper who threw in 39. With games against UAB and Houston on the schedule in the upcoming week, we will know more about the consistency of the Miners and where they really stand.
Houston (3-3, 10-9)
Aubrey Coleman will be a rich man this time next year. Having the opportunity to watch him a number of times this year, it is a joy to see him shoot the basketball. Not having much of a supporting cast, Coleman continued his assault on the CUSA record books this week with 30 and 32, respectively, against UCF and Memphis. You know what you are going to get from this super scorer every game. The question for the Cougars is: where is the rest of our offense going to come from? Kelvin Lewis has been streaky at best this year. Most teams that have played the Cougars seem to take the stance that Coleman will get his points and we are not going to let the rest of the team beat us. Lewis tossed in 14/6 against the Black Knights but was a non-factor in the Memphis game. The other factor in Houston not having the year many thought they would is the inconsistent play of their low post players Maurice McNeil, Kahmell Broughton, Kendrick Washington, and Sean Coleman. McNeil has had solid games against UCF and Memphis, putting up 10/9 and 10/11, respectively, but he has received no help from any of the other players consistently throughout the year. If Houston wants to turn the corner for the rest of the year, S. Coleman, Broughton and Washington will need to put up better numbers off the bench to help the backcourt of Lewis and A. Coleman. This lack of production can be directly related to the close loss against the Black Knights and the blowout loss to the Tigers. Another thing that should worry the Cougars — though they usually take good care of the ball, the Tigers forced Houston into a new team high 16 turnovers.
"I wanna be like Marcus." Marcus Jordan keyed the Black Knights' big upset road victory Wednesday against Houston. Jordan tossed in 23 while A.J. Tyler had a career high 19 as the Black Knights used the same stifling defense they used to swarm Marshall in that close loss at home. UCF held the usually hot-shooting Cougars to 25% from the field. This game could be huge down the road as Houston and UCF could be jockeying for that 6-7 position come conference tournament time. Suffering from what could have been a hangover from the Houston win, UCF ran into a buzz saw on a hot streak called the UTEP Miners. This game further exploited what was said in the conference round up about the Black Knights, their lack of size. Out-rebounded 42-30, and held scoreless for the first five minutes of the second half, UCF cannot afford these lapses in offensive productivity and this lack of effort on the boards. UCF must use the same tactic that Memphis has had to use this year: rebounding by committee. That did not happen in their game against UTEP. UCF has to capitalize against teams at home where they can use the crowd noise from their wonderful fan base. While not out of the race yet, UCF needs to use their speed in the back court to create havoc for teams with larger, slower guards.
While not a signature victory on which Matt Doherty can hang his hat, the Mustangs' win over Rice can be a solid step forward for an SMU program looking for relevance in the league. Showing perseverance down the stretch when Rice had closed the gap to 69-65, SMU used solid free throw shooting to get their first conference win of the year against a team that pushed Tulsa and Memphis throughout their games with them. Getting solid production from Papa Dia and Derek Williams for most of the year, SMU can use this win as a building block and should key on games remaining against UCF, Tulane, Rice and East Carolina to build a conference record that will be respectable come tournament time.
Southern Miss (1-4, 11-8)
Larry Eustachy should be proud of the way his young team is performing in the face of adversity this year. Having already taken UTEP and Memphis to the wire earlier in the season, Southern Miss took it on the road to UAB. Gary Flowers continues to play outstanding basketball in his first year in CUSA. Currently, Flowers is fourth in CUSA in blocks per game (4) and sixth in rebounding per game (8). Flowers (25/10) was the only contributor for the Golden Eagles in that heartbreaking 57-56 loss to the Blazers, though USM used their man defense to hold the Blazers to 27% from behind the arc and only 40% from the field. If Southern Miss continues to play solid defense throughout the year, they will knock a few teams off down the road.
Tulane (1-4, 6-12)
Tulane dropped two games this week when it should have been 1-1. Tulane traveled to Marshall on Wednesday and dropped that game by ten, then came back home and dropped a game to a rebuilding ECU team by 15. Many of the Green Wave's problems can be attributed to key injuries to starting PG Kevin Sims (12/3/3) and junior swingman Aaron Holmes (7/4/2.) Senior Asim McQueen has tried to pick up some of the slack for the Green Wave with a solid 20/10 effort against the Thundering Herd of Marshall and then faded back to obscurity with a 0/5 effort against ECU. This form of inconsistency has plagued a depleted and undersized Green Wave team all year. With Sims out, there is no real floor leader for the Green Wave or comforting factor for coach Dave Dickerson. Tulane is in for a long stretch down the road with these key injuries.
Players of the Week
Wesley Witherspoon (v. UTEP 12/4/1, v. Houston 20/6/2)
While this might seem like an off-the-wall pick, I am making this pick based on what it means to your respective team. Memphis has been looking all year for a consistent second scorer, and an alternate playmaker behind Elliot Williams. Witherspoon is slowly starting to turn the corner for Josh Pastner in providing that for his team. The question about Witherspoon is whether or not he can bring it every game, and be there mentally for the whole 40 minutes. Since the East Carolina game, "Spoon" has averaged 15 PPG and almost 5 RPG. This total would have possibly been higher if it wasn't for an injury scare in the Rice game. If Witherspoon can provide that low post versatile wing compliment to Pierre Henderson-Niles on a consistent basis the rest of the year, they sky is the limit for the Tigers.
Aubrey Coleman (v. UCF 30/9/2 v. Memphis 32/4/1)
Of course I wasn't going to leave off a player that puts up these types of numbers, even if they are in a loss. A 6'4 physical specimen that can create matchup problems at the 2, Aubrey Coleman is wowing many scouts at the next level with his solid shooting stroke and consistently beating most team's best and second-best defenders at one time. Against UCF, Coleman showed his ability to get to the basket not only to score, but to get rebounds as well. Against a Memphis team that threw top perimeter defenders Roburt Sallie and Elliot Williams at him, Coleman threw in 32 while shooting 8-9 from the free throw line. That is possibly the most telling statistic about Coleman. While he might be shooting a lower percentage from the field, many of these misses are on drives to the basket where he gets fouled. He is shooting 72% from the free throw line, but over the last five it's closer to 85%. If you have an opportunity to see Mr. Coleman play on TV or in person anytime soon, go watch this baller. He is well worth the admission.
Freshman/Newcommer of the week — Hassan Whiteside (v. West Virginia 18/6/2 blocks, v. 11/13/5 blocks)
This week, Hassan Whiteside was able to show on ESPN why many are beginning to believe he might be a one-and-done diaper dandy. Against Da'Sean Butler and West Virginia's frontcourt, Whiteside showed an athletic ability to get to the basket and rebound against bigger more experienced defenders. UAB used double teams against Whiteside but he contributed in other areas, like rebounding and altering shots under the basket. While both of these games were losses for his team, without Whiteside, Marshall is not the same team. Teams now have to alter game plans for Whiteside and in my mind that makes you an all-conference caliber of player.
Games of the Week
Tulsa v. UAB on Tuesday, January 26
This game could be a preview of the Conference USA Championship matchup. A few teams could have a say in that statement between now and then, but this game will be a good one. UAB cannot afford to fall behind by double digits in this one and Tulsa is a deep and talented team that can slow the game down if need be, and limit possessions for the Blazers. The key to the game will be whether or not UAB can slow down Jerome Jordan like Oral Roberts and Rice did with smaller big men and double teams. Tulsa leads the league in rebounding, but UAB is not far behind. Both teams take care of the ball, averaging only 13 TOPG a piece. Elijah Millsap will have another opportunity to shine and will not disappoint as Ben Uzoh will have his hands full.
Since this game's in Birmingham and with the the home crowd behind the Blazers, UAB comes out on top 65-59
Memphis v. Marshall on Wednesday, January 27
Can Memphis contain Hassan Whiteside? If they can, how will they contain Trey Wilkerson? The Memphis frontcourt will be tested again, just like against UTEP. The emergence of Wesley Witherspoon is a positive for the Tigers and Pierre Niles' play has been a pleasant surprise. The Tigers will need solid play from Will Coleman to match the athleticism of Whiteside when Niles is on the bench. I expect Memphis to play zone for a portion of this game and force the Herd to try and beat them from the outside, if the Memphis bigs get into foul trouble. Memphis has not always had an easy time playing in Huntington so this will be another good game between top teams in CUSA.
Marshall comes out on top in this one, 68-64.
UTEP v UAB on Saturday, January 30
UAB gets another big game at home in terms of conference positioning. UTEP has played well on the road this year in conference so far and I do not expect this to change. The front court of Arnett Moultrie and Derrick Caracter will challenge the Blazers more than Jerome Jordan of Tulsa, because Moultrie and Caracter are much more polished offensively than Jordan. Christian Polk and Randy Culpepper will extend the UAB man defense and I believe it will be too much for UAB. An ESPN analyst made the comment that UAB was the most talented team in CUSA; I tend to disagree. If Caracter can continue to play with his head on straight and play team basketball, UTEP can be a scary prospect.
UTEP wins another one on the road in an up and down affair, 85-79.

Wal-Mart testing same-day delivery service
NEW YORK Wal-Mart (WMT) is testing a same-day delivery service in select markets for customers who buy popular items online during the holiday shopping season.
The move comes as the world's largest retailer faces increasing competition from Amazon.com (AMZN), which is testing same-day delivery service in 10 markets. The Bentonville, Ark.-based discounter is trying to cater to Web-savvy shoppers who are demanding more convenience.
Wal-Mart's tests started this month in northern Virginia and Philadelphia, and will be rolled out to Minneapolis on Tuesday. Wal-Mart plans to test the service in San Francisco and San Jose, Calif. later this month or in early November.
- Wal-Mart will stop selling Amazon.com Kindles
- USPS stuck with 600M useless Simpsons stamps
- American Express, Wal-Mart team on prepaid card
The program builds on a same-day grocery delivery launch in April 2010 in San Jose, followed by a test in San Francisco over the past year.
About 5,000 general merchandise items, including flat-panel TVs, toys and Apple iPads, will be available for the same-day option. The delivery charge is $10 for an unlimited number of items, with no minimum purchase. For those who live in San Francisco and San Jose, shoppers will be required to have a minimum order of $45.
"This builds on a testament to try to provide greater convenience to our customers," said Amy Lester, Wal-Mart spokeswoman.
In a recent Wal-Mart customer survey, the majority of respondents said they would consider same-day delivery if available, and more than half said they would use it monthly or more frequently. Also, the survey found that electronics, toys, video games, movies and groceries were among the items shoppers wanted delivered.
Wal-Mart's service works this way: Customers place orders up until noon and then choose a four-hour window to receive the delivery the same day. Wal-Mart is using UPS delivery trucks to deliver the merchandise. For the San Francisco and San Jose markets, shoppers have to order by 7 a.m. that day to receive those items. Wal-Mart is using its own fleet of trucks to transport the goods to shoppers' homes in those two regions.
In April, Wal-Mart rolled out a program that allows online shoppers who didn't want to use their credit cards to order the goods and then pay with cash at the local Wal-Mart store. Company officials said the program has fared well. It also has a program called Site to Store where shoppers order online, then pick up the products at the local store.
Amazon.com began testing same-day delivery service in 2009. The program is now available in 10 markets, including Chicago and Seattle.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., operates more than 4,000 stores in the U.S.

Southern Swamp isn't spawning a bonus subdungeon, while the Eastern Tundra is.
BIG ONE: Noticable slowdown in Cha'Dylan subdungeon. More often than not for the last 2-3 times, the game freezes for a short while when I hit Cha'Dylan - it migh be sprites from all the blinking snakes. Sometimes my cursor even develops a little "waiting" hourglass. It scared the hell out of me because it looked like it was about to crash.
And now the vampire chef spawned no red shrub at all. And it's in most of the recipies.

wizhez specialised Greeting Cards
Enter subtitle here
Everything man-made we see and use nowadays has got a creator. This creator held an idea which turned into a concept. From that concept came the vision. Then the vision became reality, but with reality follows several questions such as 'What will it look like?', 'is it needed or wanted?'' or 'how will it be applied by the end user?' these all need responses. With every new product made, it can then be adjusted by somebody else who has another vision and so the cycle of production continues and grows.A man named Cleven Goudeau A.K.A (also known as) "Goodie" bore such a vision, which was way back in 1963. Mr Cleven Goudeau's vision has granted many including myself to participate in the journey he began so long ago. A journey of acknowledging that black art and culture exists and should be seen. Goodie is rightfully the Pioneer and Innovator of Black Contemporary greeting cards. It had to start somewhere and it began with this man. Black greetings cards businesses nowadays whether they are an internet site or a market store in your local town didn't exist.Come to think of it when Goodie's artistry talent was 1st printed in a newspaper in 1951, the internet, which we have come to depend on today didn't yet exist since the World Wide Web was born in 1969. try this Nothing on these lines existed when Goodie took those bold 1st steps and developed his 1st black card in 1963. Other people didn't even realise these steps needed to be taken. But that is the beautiful thing about ideas, it only takes one individual to envision something special and to follow up on it. Then that idea contributes great changes to society and then society adjusts to let in those great ideas.It's taken numerous years for this man "Goodie" to be acknowledged and granted such a title of "Pioneer of Black Greeting Cards".He has opened many doors for ethnic greeting card designers like me, yet many black people still don't know this courageous man exists and the achievements he reached. I truly believe without his vision in 1963, we would not see black cultured greeting cards today.You have to also remember that when Goodie's vision happened segregation was still about. A time when black people where looked down upon, not worthy of sharing the same schools with our white counter parts. With all this happening, what Goodie did was a heroic accomplishment up there with Rosa Parks, riding at the front of the bus accomplishment.Its people like Goodie that inspires me and makes me really love my black culture. A culture, greeting cards uk, that's overpowered numerous obstacles and is still breaking down barriers today.The turning point for Goodie was when his mother was sick and had to go to hospital. Wanting to give her an exceptional card he designed his own Get Well card. The doctors and nurses enjoyed it so much that this single black greeting card found its way around the entire hospital.With such an outstanding response his first line of "Goodie Cards" was born. Which I find ironic for that was the reason I began my line of greetings cards uk, but I designed my black card for mother's day. His cards sold at local speciality stores in 1966. He attempted to get help with a business loan of $50,000 but was refused.Goodie was entering an industry with a brand new product which had no rules, no standard, and no nothing. An outstanding product for over 20 million black people to enjoy but the white establishments in the industry didn't understand. The greeting card industry then was worth $800 million annually and had only four major participants. Yet these major participants weren't creating black greeting cards. In 1968 Goodie became the co-founder and executive creative director of Onyx Enterprises Inc. This was the only greeting card company that created black greeting card and white greeting cards side by side nationally.Sadly Goodie departed the greeting card business in1973 due to unsatisfying sales and complications with marketing. His product had its own merits and required nothing more than equal acceptance by the companies already in the greeting card industry. For he was in a time when black people had to prove themselves. This great vision wasn't embraced like it ought to have been all because they didn't want to understand what black people needed and wanted.Thanks to the most high and his blessed gift his range of Goodie Cards allowed him to put three kids through college, however Hallmark and other greeting card companies will happily support the statement that 'there was no market for black greetings card and completely deny the black market.Yet their statement just doesn't add up, why because black people have always existed and we have the same demands as any other culture. So if white people have a way to share happy celebrated moments by sending greeting cards, why would not their black counter parts want the same.Nowadays Goodie works with students introducing them to the world of cartooning through classes at Micheal's in Vallejo, while also teaching classes at the Vallejo Arts Foundation. This great man ought be part of black history and be commemorated for what he's done, for so many of us striving to succeed in the greeting card industry with our own range of black greeting cards. He's accomplished a lot and collapsed so many barriers for us, yet this great man is so humble, he is truly blessed.His words, is the only way to finish this epic story:"I create things that can't be denied".Happy Learning.

Mayne Mennonite Church (Mayne, Ontario, Canada)
The Markham-Waterloo Mennonite Conference congregation at Mayne's Corners began services in 1972, and formally organized in 1973. The congregation originated through colonization from the Markham and Waterloo areas of Ontario. Services were held in two homes on the boundary of Howick and Wallace Townships (Huron and Perth counties) until this building was rented in 1972. This location was replaced by a meetinghouse at Brotherston in 1974.

Oden Bowie, the former secretary of the Maryland Senate and grandson of Maryland Gov. Oden Bowie, died Oct. 23 at the Arbor at Baywoods in Annapolis of complications from a fall he suffered at his home last month. He was 97.
His daughter, Ambler Bowie Slabe, said he had spent his entire life at Fairview, the Bowie home in Prince George's County. She said he was the sixth generation of his family to reside there.
"He was respected and admired by everyone," said Maryland Senate President Mike Miller. "Oden grew up on a tobacco farm and kept his agrarian roots. He loved thoroughbred racing and the racetracks. He was a grand man who though born so long ago could and did adjust with the times."
Mr. Bowie began raising tobacco, beef cattle and crops and later opened his fields to the Fairwood Turf Farm.
"Daddy was actually a modern progressive and when he saw that turf and sod would make a profit, he converted his farm," said his daughter. "He also kept horses, and I think if you inspected that sod carefully, you'd find horseshoe prints."
In 1953, he joined the Maryland Senate's staff as an assistant journal clerk and rose to become secretary of the Senate in 1969. He served through the 1997 session and retired in 1998.
"Primarily we have to know where all the bills are located physically and what is their stage of passage," he said in a 1974 Sun story. "We have to keep this up to date and make sure the bills meet all constitutional requirements."
Barry Rascovar, a communications consultant and former Sun reporter, said that Mr. Bowie ran the clerical side of the Senate. There were often 2,000 bills filed and 1,000 got to the floor with amendments added, he said.
"Toward the end of the session, there was a blizzard of activity," Mr. Rascovar said. "Oden Bowie had an important, complicated position. In it, he was almost invisible and meticulous. He was in constant communication with the Senate president."
Former state Sen. Frank Kelly, who represented Baltimore County from 1978 to 1990, said, "He reminded me of what old Maryland is all about. He was a decent, classy human being. He was fun to be around and stayed totally out of politics. He treated every member of the Senate with respect and affection. And he never injected his feelings into a debate."
Oden Bowie was the grandson of Gov. Oden Bowie, for whom both Bowie and Odenton are named. Governor Bowie was also among those who revived Maryland thoroughbred racing, built Pimlico and promoted the Preakness as president of the Maryland Jockey Club.
Mr. Bowie was a 1933 graduate of the old Donaldson School in Ilchester. Family members said that as a student there, he took over the wheel of the Donaldson school athletic team bus when the driver failed to show up and crashed the vehicle on the way to an important lacrosse game.
He earned a degree at the University of Maryland's School of Agriculture and belonged to the Sigma Nu fraternity. A lacrosse player, he played on national championship teams of 1936 and 1937.
His daughter said that he was honored last year as the school's oldest surviving varsity lacrosse player.
Mr. Bowie also worked as part of the office staff at Edelen Brothers Tobacco Warehouse in Upper Marlboro.
"He was a man of few words," said his nephew, O. Bowie Arnot of Stevenson. "When he did speak and act, he was focused and clever. He had a farmer's temperament and was careful how he invested his resources."
The Bowie family belonged to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Bowie from the days when the area was known as Collington.
"As a young boy in the 1920s, he rode by horse to church," said his daughter. "The horses were tied in the old horse barn. Dressed in his Sunday best, he and the rest of the Bowie family would go into the church and sit in the pew where his grandfather sat years before."
Mr. Bowie served on the church vestry and was senior warden for 20 years. He also oversaw the cemetery.
He was a charter member of the board of directors of Collington Episcopal Life Care Community in Bowie. He was also a founder of the Prince George's Historical Society.
"Well into his 80s, he could be found on his tractor, growing, cutting and baling hay for his horses," his daughter said.
He was a member and past president of The Southern Maryland Society and the Vansville Farmers Club. He was a member of the South River Club.
His wife of 42 years, the former Laura Brainard, died in 1988.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Nov. 23 at Holy Trinity Church, 13106 Annapolis Road, Bowie.
In addition to his daughter, who lives at the Bowie home, survivors include another daughter, Maude Bowie Hays of Annapolis; and two grandsons.

Socialite Paris Hilton, whose home was raided in a string of celebrity burglaries earlier this year, still felt "very, very violated" by the experience, younger sister and fashion designer Nicky Hilton said Saturday evening.
Paris Hilton, 28, was one of a series of high-profile celebrities allegedly burgled by a group of starry-eyed fans that included a 19-year-old as the ringleader. Other stars whose homes were burglarized include Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and Audrina Patridge.
Though some of the socialite's things were returned, sister Nicky told People magazine she and her family still can't believe the crimes took place.
U.S. & World
Paris "lives in a gated community with supposed state of the art security," Nicky Hilton said in disbelief as she hosted a Halloween party in Las Vegas.
Her sister was "just happy to get some of it back," Nicky Hilton said.
Among the stuff taken from Hilton's home was an estimated $2 million in jewelry.
