Miami tops CMU, 2-1, to win fourth MAC Tournament in program history
OXFORD, Ohio – Sophomore Hailey Pleshakov scored in the second half to break a 1-1 tie and lift the Miami University women's soccer team to the 2012 Mid-American Conference Tournament championship as her goal gave the RedHawks a 2-1 win over Central Michigan Sunday in the tournament final at Miami Soccer Field.
Tournament host and top-seeded Miami (19-2-1, 10-0-1 MAC), who also won the MAC regular-season crown this year, earned its fourth MAC Tournament title in program history. Miami last won the MAC Tournament in 2002, when the 'Hawks also won their only other MAC regular-season title, while the other tournament championships were in 2000 and 2001.
"I thought it was a good game today. I thought it was about the game we were expecting," head coach Bobby Kramig said. "Central is an awfully good team. They're just tremendously well-organized, well-coached and disciplined. They play hard and have a competitive mentality. We knew we were going to have to try and meet that. I think our kids did that. They brought the right mind set to the game and hung tough at the end."
With the victory over No. 2 seed Central Michigan (15-6-1, 9-2-0 MAC), Miami automatically qualifies for the NCAA Tournament, which begins next weekend. The NCAA women's soccer selection show will take place on Monday, Nov. 5 at 4:30 p.m., which is when the RedHawks will learn who they face in the first round and where they are headed. The selection show will be streamed live on NCAA.com while Miami will hold a watch party in the multi-purpose room of the Gross Student-Athlete Development Center. The watch party is open to the public.
As the RedHawks did in each of the first two games of the MAC Tournament, Miami struck quickly, this time doing so just 4:17 into the match. After scoring in the sixth minute in the quarterfinals against Ohio and in the eighth minute in Friday's semifinal win over Kent State, MAC Freshman of the Year Haley Walter (Cincinnati, Ohio) found the back of the net in the fifth minute for her ninth goal of the year.
Senior captain Jess Kodiak (Naperville, Ill.) gathered the ball near midfield and played a long through ball toward the right flank. Walter used her speed to get by the CMU defender and slid to kick the ball, just beating CMU keeper Stefanie Turner, who charged to the ball, as Walter poked it home from the right side of the penalty box for a 1-0 lead. Kodiak picked up her single-season school-record 11th assist on the play, topping teammate Kayla Zakrzewski (London, Ont.), who first broke the record last week.
The Chippewas pulled even in the 32nd minute, however, as Danielle Rotheram scored off a cross at the far post. Kaely Schlosser played a long ball from just inside midfield on the left wing toward goal and Miami redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Allison Norenberg (Palatine, Ill.) came out to break up the cross but missed, allowing Rotheram an easy finish at the back post.
The match went into halftime level at 1-1 with CMU holding a 5-3 edge in shots while earning both corner kicks in the half. CMU came out firing in the second half, putting three shots on goal in the first 10 minutes, but Norenberg was up to the task each time.
Then, in the 59th minute, the 'Hawks broke through with the game-winning goal. Walter started the sequence with a great hustle play to save the ball from crossing the endline despite a CMU defender boxing her out. She tapped it back into the field of play where junior Katy Dolesh (Chardon, Ohio) picked up the ball and sent a cross into the box. Pleshakov (Brighton, Mich.), who had just one goal all season entering Sunday, then finished the ball with a strong header into the corner of the cage for a 2-1 Miami lead, as the home-team crowd erupted.
"She hates heading the ball, she's honestly not very good at it and she'll be the first to tell you that. So for her to score that goal, at that time, in that game is just absolutely remarkable," Kramig said. "What does it say about Hailey? She hasn't gotten many opportunities to play this year, so to come in and rise to the occasion like that, what a testament to her character."
From there, Miami's defense led the way as CMU managed just one shot over the final 30 minutes of play and were unable to put any shots on target. The RedHawks kept the ball down in the offensive end the final few minutes to close out the MAC Tournament championship as the team rushed the field when the final horn sounded.
"I know our attack has gotten a lot of press, publicity and recognition, but the fact of the matter is, when we've needed them, the defense has been there, and certainly that was the case today," Kramig said. "The way we killed off the game at the end – those last 10 to 15 minutes – that was professionally done. I was really impressed with how we handled ourselves."
CMU actually outshot Miami, 9-7, for the match, but the 'Hawks earned three corner kicks in the second stanza and Norenberg totaled four saves, including three in the final 45 minutes, to help Miami get the win. Turner made two stops in the loss for the Chippewas.
Kodiak and Walter each were named to the All-MAC Tournament Team from Miami, as was Zakrzewski and sophomore Courtney Zanotti (North Royalton, Ohio), who anchored a RedHawk defense that allowed just two goals in three tournament games.
"This whole season has been a dream come true," said Kodiak, the 2012 MAC Offensive Player of the Year. "Being here freshman year and losing in the (MAC) championship to Central (Michigan) and then getting a second chance in my four years and to be able to win it, it's just been amazing. We have such a young team so to be able to grow and mature through this season has been awesome."
Miami's 19 wins tie the school record for wins, also achieved in 2002, the last time the RedHawks made the NCAA Tournament. Miami will carry a school-record 15-game unbeaten streak into the NCAA Tournament.

i have setup a mdi parent form with 3 panles on it. one docked to the left , one docked to the right and the third docked as fill to sit inbetween the other two.
i want to display an image on the third panel and have it be scrollable if it is bigger than the panel size. i have tried to get just a single panel on a form, with the panels autoscroll set to true ( and also with the forms autoscroll set to true) and it doesnt want to work , i think i am missing a vital ingredient here.
Can anyone enlighten me ?
I have managed to get the scroll bars to appear in a test i did but when i adjust the scroll bars the image on the panel is getting corrupted. i am not doing anything in the OnPaint and it is not overridden so shouldnt the panle just 'move' within the scroll area. i understand it has to be redrawn, but there is nothing i have done to the redraw method (that i am aware of) that would make it alter the content on the panel.
Could some one provide any code that simply draws say arectangle on a panle and allows it to scroll in a form that is smaller than the panel size.
many TIA

Interest-ing: Eddie Bauer bill triples
If you apply for an Eddie Bauer credit card today, you'll see no mention of First Consumers National Bank, or FCNB, on the application. Unfortunately, Merry Hanson wasn't so lucky when she got her Eddie Bauer card three years ago– and the difference, as she's come to learn, was no small deal.
In early April, when Hanson tried to charge a purchase at the chain's store at Fashion Square, she was told she would have to apply for a new card. Hanson was "puzzled," as she later explained via email, because she hadn't gotten a bill "in some time," and didn't understand how there could be a problem with her account. In any case, she applied for and got a new card, and "all seemed fine."
"Then out of the blue," she continues, "I got a notice from a collection agency billing me for $352.98. I had no idea what this referred to or where the expense came from." She called the collection agency and learned, to her surprise, that she "was in arrears to Eddie Bauer, and the account had been turned over to this company"– GC Services of Houston– "for collection." The original amount, $108.02, had more than tripled, due to interest and penalties.
Hanson claims she told the GC Services employee that she "hadn't received any bills" from Eddie Bauer and that she "certainly would have paid" them if she had. "He said, in a word, 'tough.' He said a company doesn't have to bill a customer [and] the customer still has to make a payment."
By Hanson's account, when she protested the extra charges, the employee "agreed to reduce the amount to $264.74," but when she said she intended to call Eddie Bauer, he said she "couldn't call them, [and that] it wasn't legal" for Eddie Bauer to discuss her account.
Hanson mailed GC Services a check for $108.02– but she also called Eddie Bauer, where she got a lesson in corporate history. Turns out Eddie Bauer is owned by the Spiegel Group, which declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2003. The Spiegel Group also owns FCNB, which serviced the credit cards issued by Eddie Bauer, Newport News (a women's clothing retailer), and Spiegel's catalog sales. As part of the Spiegel Group's restructuring, it liquidated FCNB and sold its accounts receivable. GC Services entered the picture when the accounts-receivable purchaser hired it to collect debts from Eddie Bauer card holders.
I spoke with Elizabeth Borrelli, director of corporate affairs and social responsibility for Eddie Bauer, who looked into Hanson's situation and reported that according to GC Services, Hanson had moved in October 2002 without leaving a forwarding order. Her last statement, they claimed, had been returned to Eddie Bauer/FCNB, where it had accrued interest and penalties until GC Services tracked her down last month.
Hanson vigorously disputes this, saying that although she did indeed move from Charlottesville to Gordonsville in 2002, other mail– bank statements, credit card bills, etc.– followed her. "I've never moved without a forwarding address," she states. "We never missed any of our mail."
Borrelli had good news: Hanson's account now has a zero balance, so apparently the interest and penalties have been waived. When I called GC Services general manager Mark Caruso, he refused to comment and referred me to the company's attorney, Joseph Van Nest. Hanson was also referred to Van Nest, and claims that when she asked to see proof that the original bill had been returned to FCNB as undeliverable, Van Nest replied that her documents had been returned to the account's owners, CMS, that morning. I later asked Van Nest who "CMS" is, but he refused to say.
The Spiegel Group announced last month that it hopes to lighten its load further by selling Eddie Bauer. And Borrelli, via email, asked me to assure readers that "while our reorganization has been challenging, we remain committed to moving our business forward and providing excellent customer service and product."

I think I'm a little delirious, because you know, the title of this post probably has nothing to do with the contents of the post..
let me check…
Ummm no, not really, err, maybe kinda.
No Yankees, but there is some Fire Mage Talent commentary
So, how 'bout that new 31 point talent tree?
Is the question I got asked, to which I responded…
31 point talent tree?
Yeah, a Gnome with his finger on the pulse… wrong pulse, but there is a pulse there somewhere and a vein, maybe just give me another dozen attempts to jab that needle in…
So what's the best way for me to approach this… yeah leave it to someone else…
Celeglin writes:
So, how 'bout that new 31 point talent tree? Can't wait to see your write up.
Honestly, I'm worried. We're losing a good chunk of our PvP talents and are getting no new ones inside the Fire tree itself.
The Good
- Increased range of Fire Blast. Luvs it.
- Molten Shields affect to Molten Armor now affects spells as well. Too bad I still have no desire to use that armor.
- +20% crit chance on Scorch
- Arcane Repulsion and Improved Blink. Not in the Fire tree, but both very well suited for our PvP play style.
The Bad
- Impact's proc chance reduced by 3% (this is huge)
- We're losing our Spell Reflect from Molten Shields
- No more Interrupt immunity from Burning Soul
- Scorch effect only has a 66% chance to proc
- No more instant, free Flamestrikes
- Redesigned Pyroblast does not seem conducive to PvP
- Combustion is just ASKING to be dispelled
- Fiery Payback GONE. No more anti-Execute and no more disarms.
- First tier of Arcane is still pretty lackluster to get at Arcane Repulsion and Improved Blink
- Improved Counterspell is no longer reachable (I didn't use it anyway); Magic Absorption and Arcane Fortitude are gone.
- The entire Fire tree seems far more geared toward buffing Fireball/FrostFirebolt… But dammit, I don't want to be casting those spells.
Sorry to vent… got up this morning, saw this and just went "blaaah". Doesn't help that the PvE Frost tree is sad too (no more Winter's Chill and Focus Magic make me a sad Frostie).
To which my real reply was:
Awesome… I was wondering how to post on this… you just did it for me!
My take on going all the way and 31 point talent trees.
On going all the way… Larisa, she of the "I don't theorycraft Magecraft mentality" has already discussed this.
Personally I like Gnome girls that go all the way, I even like 1/2Gnome/ 1/2Elf girls that go all the way.
When it comes to Fire, it's just natural that you would go all the way, in fact it feels so natural that I wont call it the fire tree any longer, to me it's the Nature tree.
When I was a young Mage, I went all the way.. with Nature, (or fire for you non-believers) and I have to say it was so much fun that I forgot that I was 8th on the DPS meters (yeah, that was in 5 mans… ohh well).
To me there was nothing better than mixing Blastwaves and Dragon's Breath and other "PvP" talents with PvE raiding, in fact forsaking rading talents for PvP talents seemed just natural
Sure, they were also useless in a PvE environment (which is where I was at that point in my WoW-life), but I'm not the sort of Gnome that listens to folk that tell me I am doing it all wrong… if I was, I wouldn't Arena as Fire.
There are two ways of looking at this right now.
- The WoWhead Talent calculator, which gives you a 31 point talent tree and 76 points to spend (err whoops… that's not right, but you can do just about anything), or
- The MMO Champion "I'm going to bring you right back down to reality" talent calculator.
You know I like options, so if I have an option in this, I am going with WoWhead… I don't like reality so much, so leave me with 76 points to spend in a 31 point tree and I am almost happy.
Only almost, because knowing that things will change between now and 3.3.666 (the pre-Cataclysm-talent-reset-patch-whose-number-I-just-made-up) I can't get too worked up about the current state of the talents.
I will say, that if they stay the way they are, we are going to have some fun talent trees, where the talents will be fighting between PvP and PvE It will be kind of a PvPE tree.
The thing I really like, is if you put all your talents into one tree, the ONLY tree, you only have one point left!
What are you going to do with one point?
Just ignore it until it goes away!
Seriously, any noob can see that this will be the only viable spec!
Gnomer and Out!

Boca Juniors' fortress-like Estadio Bombonera has built a formidable reputation over the years, and with good reason. Few visiting teams have managed to take the spoils on the Xeneizes' fabled home patch, located in an area to the south of Buenos Aires, where the fanatical supporters always form an imposing 12th man.
Yet it was at this very venue, a place where many of the world's finest players have struggled to perform, that Peru pulled off one of the biggest achievements in their footballing history. FIFA.com takes a look at the evening, way back in 1969, when the Peruvians sealed their place at Mexico 1970 and left the Albicelestes' own FIFA World Cup™ hopes in tatters.
The summary *31 August 1969, Estadio Bombonera, Buenos Aires
*Argentina 2-2 Peru Scorers:Rafael Jose Albrecht (78, penalty), Alberto Rendo (87) -Argentina; Oswaldo Ramirez (52, 80) - Peru.
**Argentina: Cejas; Gallo, Perfumo, Albrecht, Marzolini; Rulli, Brindisi, Pachame, Marcos; Yazalde, Tarabini.
Peru: Rubinos; Campos, La Torre, Chumpitaz, Risco; Challe, Cruzado, Baylon, Leon; Cubillas, Ramirez.
The stakes
The 1970s would turn out to be a golden period for Peruvian football, with stars such as Teofilo Cubillas making headlines and earning admiration across the globe. Argentina meanwhile, under coach Adolfo Pedernera, were determined to return to planet football's biggest stage after exiting the 1966 FIFA World Cup at the hands of hosts England.
The duo were joined in Group 1 of the South American qualifying phase for Mexico 1970 by Bolivia, the three teams playing each other home and away in a round-robin format with two points for a win. Only the group winners would travel to Mexico, and going into the final match Argentina found themselves on two points, two behind both Bolivia and Peru. Pedernera's charges thus needed to take the points at the Bombonera to guarantee a play-off match on neutral soil, while any other result would send the Peruvians, then coached by former Brazilian legend Didi, to the finals.
The story
Needing a win to keep their qualifying hopes alive, the Argentinians flew at Peru from the outset, only to be denied time and again by visiting keeper Luis Rubinos. "He stopped everything, it was his best-ever performance," recalled Oswaldo 'Cachito' Ramirez, scorer of Peru's two goals, years later. Unable to break the deadlock, the Argentinian onslaught gradually subsided, and by half-time it was the Incas who had wrested control.
The home side retook the initiative once more after the interval, a situation which left them vulnerable to the counter attack. And it was the pacy Ramirez who took full advantage to open the scoring, racing beyond the Argentinian defence before firing home. Roared on by the Bombonera faithful, the Albiceleste fought back, levelling the score with just 12 minutes on the clock through a Rafael Albrecht penalty.
Within two minutes their hopes were struck another blow by Ramirez, the livewire striker nicking the ball from Roberto Perfumo before hitting his side's second. The home side grabbed another equaliser via substitute Alberto Rendo, and in a dramatic finale it appeared Miguel Brindisi had struck a vital third goal, only for the match official to correctly disallow it for a foul on Rubinos. That was the last action of a thrilling encounter that saw Peru reach their first ever FIFA World Cup finals and the fans packing the Bombonera ponder one of the most disappointing evenings in the Albiceleste's history.
The star
The night will undoubtedly be forever remembered as the coming of age of Peru's 22-year-old front-runner Oswaldo Ramirez, his two-goal display guaranteeing him a place in Inca footballing folklore. "I really believed that I could rid myself of the status I had in the national team at the time, one of unfulfilled promise," reveals the man who would later be nicknamed 'El Verdugo de la Bombonera' [The Bombonera Executioner]. "And that's what happened: when both the chances fell my way I just knew I'd beat [Mario Agustin] Cejas. It was a case of knowing where to put the ball, and fortunately it all turned out just right."
They said
"My goal was the saddest one I've scored in my life, I didn't even celebrate it. I quickly picked it out the net so we could try for a third goal, which never came. I never saw such disappointment in a dressing room; several of my team-mates were crying and Pedernera was sat silently in a corner smoking. It was a collective and individual disappointment, because it was my last chance to play at a World Cup." Alberto Rendo, Argentina player.
"Didi's tactical briefings were dull for two reasons: firstly because he gave them in Portuguese and secondly because he spoke so quietly. I remember that I once fell asleep during one of his many talks! That evening he told me to make the most of my pace, that if I kept trying and trying then I could get a goal. And that's what happened. He was right." Oswaldo 'Cachito' Ramirez,Peru striker**.
What happened next?
Peru went on to perform extremely well at Mexico 1970, finishing second in Group 4 behind the West Germany and only exiting at the quarter-final stage against eventual winners Brazil. The Albicelestes, meanwhile, have not missed out on a FIFA World Cup final phase since Mexico, and at Argentina 1978 won the coveted trophy for the first time.

With cold & flu season knocking at the door, these samples came right at the right time! I had forgotten that I had signed up for them, but was glad when they arrived. Extra Vitamin C is a very good thing this time of year.
The first packet I tried was the Cherry-Pomegranate. This package was actually a multi-vitamin plus extra vitamin C and other vitamins. I mixed the powder with about 4 oz of cold water. It was super fizzy!
The taste was very pleasant & not too strong. It did remind me a little bit of the Flintstones Chewables that I took as a kid & when I was pregnant with my daughter. Nothing wrong with that! 😉
The Pink Lemonade flavor didn't taste much different from the Cherry-Pomegranate. This one wasn't a multi-vitamin, though, just the 1000mg of vitamin C and some other vitamins & minerals.
All of the Emergen-C products are gluten-free and safe for Celiacs. You can find Emergen-C in your grocery or drug stores. I did see it at Trader Joe's the other day and if I remember correctly, it was only $7.99 there, cheaper than the grocery store. You can also find the Emergen-C products on Amazon.com.
While I am chatting about vitamins, I have had low vitamin D for the past 9-10 months, or longer (I hadn't been tested previously). I had been taking 2000 IU/day in a capsule form, but they were bothering my stomach. So when I found a sample of Caltrate 600-D Chewables at my doctors office, I picked them up. I called to verify they are gluten-free and tried them out. The flavor is not fantastic and they are a little chalky, but hey, it is a vitamin, not a piece of specialty candy, right? Most important part….they are gluten-free and didn't bother my stomach!
Don't forget to take your calcium & vitamin D, ladies!! Also, keep your immune systems healthy this flu season by eating healthy & taking your vitamins! Also, getting the proper amounts of rest is really important, too.

There has already been talk that the Facebook-owned Instagram is looking into a messaging product to compete with Snapchat and Whatsapp, and now it seems as if the social network's photo-sharing app is preparing email addresses for its users, according to a report.
Instagram, which has about 150 million users and suffered lags over the holiday weekend because of record uploads, could be offering its users @instagram.com email addresses, according to TechCrunch. The possibility was revealed by an unnamed source who received a list of @instagram.com email addresses.
While TechCrunch acknowledges it could be a "database fluke" it could also mean that Facebook is getting serious about a messaging product for Instagram to compete directly with other photo-messaging apps. Facebook, too, has its own email addresses for users -- and that happened in 2010.
U.S. & World
Giving users on the Instagram network native email addresses could make the process of sending directly to individuals more seamless and integrated to the bigger platform. It could also be a way for those recipients of your emailed images a way to respond back to you.
This would be a simpler way for Facebook to compete with the youth-oriented Snapchat and Whatsapp without paying $3 billion.

Last year, "Bones" star David Boreanaz came clean about cheating on his wife Jaime Bergman with infamous Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel. If you think that would end his marriage, you are apparently wrong.
Boreanaz tells TV Week that the experience actually strengthened his ties to former Playboy Playmate Bergman, whom he married in 2001.
"[The affair was] a bonding experience, in the long run," claims the 42 year-old actor. ""In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive. There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you."
U.S. & World
He characterizes the affair as one of those "extremely rocky" moments that all marriages experience.
"Do I believe in giving up?" Boreanaz says. "No, I don't. I'm a fighter. I'm a lover."
Boreanaz and Bergman have two children: A son, Jaden, aged 9 and a daughter, Bella, aged 2.

Why I'm still afraid to tank
|I need this book. I suck.
|This isn't me but you get the idea...
A string of abuse about fail tanks and fail raid came out from people before they left raid, and I was feeling horrible. But, when I think about it now, how else was I supposed to get out of the construct? But, that was my last fail raid queue as tank.
I think though, to save the pain and embarrassment, I should only do dungeons with my friends. I have to admit, I admire all these people who can play solo because I am not sure I could survive doing LFR and LFD with all these strangers - however, it's only about 20% are downright nasty - 20%. The other 50% are indifferent. But you know what would be most embarrassing? Doing a LFR/LFD and someone there knows me/recognises me and they think I'm playing like a totally idiot. Though, if I try hard and know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, then that won't happen. But that comes with practice and to practice I need to do LFR/LFD more... I see a vicious cycle here.
But! I will keep trying tanking. I have respecced and regemmed a bit which has made my dps a bit horrible (bad for dailies) but hopefully a bit better at rage generation (good for LFD/LFR) so.. small steps. Rome wasn't built in one day. Maybe one day, I can be good enough to tank alt runs MSV or something.

In order to build good relationships and reach goals, social skills are crucially important. When thinking about social skills, many people think about the ability to smooth talk. Socially skilled people are indeed capable of communicating their feelings and thoughts. They're capable of effectively communicating their ideas. People who aren't as proficient, often think they've got lousy social skills. However, there's more to having social skills than talking. Being able to say what you want, without hurting others, being able to actively listen, being able to read and use body language, … those things are just as important.
Say what you mean
In order to keep a conversation going, stand up for your needs, criticise or react to criticism, give or accept a compliment, you have to open your mouth. Many people find it difficult to tell other people what's bothering them. Often people rub other people the wrong way, and this gives way to fights. The other person feels attacked and gets defensive: "That's not true!", "Look who's talking!". Before you know it, you end up fighting.
In order to put what's bothering you on the table, you might try the XYZ formula. This is a way to phrase things. In situation (X), when you do (Y), I feel (Z). This way it's not as much criticism, as it's a complaint. For example: "When we are driving (X), and you change the radio station without asking (Y), I feel like I don't matter to you." This sounds very different from "Who made you king of the radio?"
Sometimes it's explained a little differently: name the behaviour (X) that's bothering you (don't play the man, play the ball), name the situation (Y) in which this behaviour occurred, and tell which feelings (Z) this behaviour caused. For example: "You being an hour late (X) for our appointment (Y), makes me feel you think our appointment isn't important, and that makes me sad (Z). This sounds very different from "You're always late!"
Once you've said what's bothering you, say how you'd like things to be. Don't demand anything, don't pose ultimatums, don't make threats. Just describe your wishes. For example: "I would like you to be on time next time. That we we can spend some time catching up before dinner."
It's best to be brief. No monologues. People usually can concentrate just 30 seconds at a time during a conversation. Keep your message short. Give the other person time to react. Phrase your message in a positive way. If you use too many negations and negative formulations, it seems like you're nagging and whining, and people don't like to listen to that.
Active listening
Listening is just as important as talking. Even if someone communicates their feelings very well, if the other person isn't listening, the message won't get across. Listening is important in order to have a pleasant conversation. It's very annoying if you get interrupted or someone can't wait to air their viewpoint. If you really get listened to, it's a pleasant experience. Listening to the other person not only means you're hearing what they're saying, but also trying to understand what they're trying to say. This is called active listening.
LEAPS stands for Listen, Empathise, Ask, Paraphrase, Summarise. When you listen, have an open mind, hear the words, interpret the meaning and act upon the words. Empathise, and don't confuse empathy with sympathy. Empathy is seeing through the eyes of the other person. Then ask, for clarification, in order to find facts, to seek opinion. Next paraphrase, express the message in different (your own) words, and finally summarise. Condense all that's been said and put it in a simple statement. Be brief and concise.
A different version of LEAPS is Listen, Empathise, Apologise, Positive attitude, Solve. There are similar systems, like LEAP (Listen, Empathise, Agree, Partner), basically meaning listening for what the person finds motivating, empathising with them, finding common ground you can agree on, and partnering with them to address common goals. There's also a different version of LEAP (Listen, Empathise, Apologise, Problem-solve), or yet another (Listen, Empathise, Ask, Produce results). They all more or less boil down to the same thing.
Use body language
The use of body language is another social skill. With a smile, eye contact, an interested posture and enthusiastic charisma you'll get more done than with an uninspired attitude. The importance of body language often is underestimated. Research shows that 80 % of communication consists of body language. Try taking that into account.
If you are the one listening, don't cross your legs and arms, mirror your conversation partner. This way you show openness and enthusiasm, and you enlarge the chance people want to tell you their story. If you are the speaker, make sure your body language is in line with what you're saying. If you are communicating your anger, make sure your voice is powerful, and stand up straight, both feet on the ground. That way your message will come across a whole lot better than when you're speaking in a soft voice, avoiding eye contact, looking at the floor.
An audience is captivated by speakers using gestures to accentuate their message. Also make eye contact, whether you're listening or talking. Don't stare though. Don't look more than 4.5 seconds at the other person, or it becomes staring. If you're listening watch the speaker about 75% of the time, if you're speaking, watch the listener about 40% of the time.
Role play
Ask a friend, partner or family member to do the following exercise with you. Think of a topic you don't agree on, for example the question whether chocolate ice cream is better than vanilla ice cream, the question for whom to vote if today there were elections, or the statement a day-nursery is bad for children.
Put an egg-timer or stopwatch on one minute. During this one minute, you get to say what you think about this topic, and why. The other person has to listen actively, and isn't allowed to interrupt. After this one minute, ask yourself the following questions:
- what was it like having someone listen actively?
- what did the other person do to give you the impression they were really listening to you?
- what body language did you use?
- did you use body language to emphasise your words?
- how much eye contact did you have with each other?
Now reverse the roles. Listen actively to the other person during one minute. Afterwards, ask yourself the following questions:
- how hard was it not to interrupt the other person?
- did you use body language to encourage the other person?
- how much eye contact did you have with each other?
Prevent a fight from happening
Next time you're in an argument that risks turning out into a fight, try to use the XYZ formula, and to stick to the LEAP(S) rules. Even though the other person might not do the same, your attitude might very well change the other person's reaction.
Afterwards, evaluate how you influenced the argument by using the XYZ formula, and sticking to the LEAP(S) rules.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Carbidopa, entacapone, and levodopa combination is used to treat Parkinson's disease, sometimes called shaking palsy. Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Dopamine is a naturally occurring substance in the brain that helps provide control of movement and activities such as walking and talking. In patients with Parkinson's disease, there is not enough dopamine in some parts of the brain. Levodopa (a component of this medicine) enters the brain and helps replace the missing dopamine, which allows people to function better. By increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain, levodopa helps control symptoms and helps you to perform daily activities such as dressing, walking, and handling utensils.
This medicine is a combination of three different medicines. This medicine is known as a levodopa therapy. The difference between this medicine and other levodopa treatments is that this medicine contains entacapone. Entacapone helps levodopa last longer by blocking a substance called COMT enzyme. This enzyme breaks down levodopa before it reaches the brain. When less levodopa is broken down, more is available to the brain. Increased availability of levodopa may lead to smoother and steadier levels of dopamine in the brain, which may provide better symptom control for longer periods each day. This may lead to improvement in daily activities.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of carbidopa, entacapone, and levodopa combination in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date in elderly patients up to age 75 years have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of carbidopa, entacapone, and levodopa combination in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, and cardiovascular insufficiency, which may require extra caution.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur.

Men's Vintage Wool Jumper in Archive White
Refined to have a classic fit and only the most essential of details, this jumper is the very definition of timeless. Made in England using our unique vintage wool fabric it comes in two fittingly enduring colours: navy and charcoal melange.
Our vintage wool – otherwise known as Q (for Quality) 12 ¬– is spun specifically for us by an Italian mill steeped in years of heritage and expertise. It is a luxurious two-fold merino that was developed from an archive sample of Sunspel underwear. As it originates from a garment worn directly next to the skin, the fabric is supremely soft and comfortable.
Although Sunspel played a pioneering role in the development of some of the earliest cotton underwear and t-shirts to ever be made, our occupation with wool pre-dates all of this. Woollen underwear was one of the earliest products to be made by Sunspel when Thomas A Hill founded it in 1860. In fact, despite the development of cotton undergarments and all of their obvious benefits, woollen underwear remained a mainstay of the business right up until the 1970s: a result of the English climate and some of our customer's apparent desire to live with windows that never closed and heating that never heated.
While knitwear is typically made using the 'fully fashioned' construction process, we take a rather different approach with our vintage wool collection. Instead of knitting each pattern piece to shape, before knitting them all together at the seams, we use 'cut and sew'. This is the same technique that is used to make t-shirts and underwear and describes the process of cutting each pattern piece from a large square of knitted fabric, and then sewing them all together at the seams.
The long sleeve jumper is no exception: pair with our new trousers, or layer under one of our jackets on colder days.
Une version moderne du sweatshirt athlétique classique, le fameux sweatshirt Sunspel a une coupe soignée et des finitions raffinées, avec son encolure en V et ses manchettes en côtes. Il est fabriqué dans un tissu loopback exceptionnellement doux et sa traditionnelle boucle interne est chaude et isolante. Portez-le avec le pantalon de survêtement assorti faisant ainsi une tenue de sport complète.
- 100% Laine
- Lavage délicat à 30°

- Description
Known as the most successful solidbody electric guitar of its time, the Fender Telecaster is back with plenty of new and innovative appointments. Originally based on a simple design, it has since worked wonders to improve the lives of musicians all over the world. Now, the 2017 American Professional Telecaster uses the finest qualities of a historic Tele with upgraded features to bring this version right into the present day.
Ash is the tonewood of choice for the body of the American Professional Tele, contributing to the quintessential Tele tone while offering a comfortable playing feel. The body has a gloss polyurethane finish to protect the paintwork on top of the natural grain of the wood.
The body of the Tele retains the classic single cutaway shape, enabling full access to even the higher registers of the neck.
A smooth 25.5 inch scale length maple neck has been securely fitted to the body and is shaped to a new, Modern "Deep C" profile. The back has a satin urethane finish for an enhanced, effortless feel. Aboard the neck is a 9.5 inch radius sumptuous rosewood fingerboard offering you 22 narrow-tall frets with adequate space for performing string bends and experimenting with complex chord structures. Black dot inlays decorate the frets to guide you along, making each transition feel effortless.
Fender have selected two V-Mod Single-Coil Telecaster pickups in the neck and bridge positions which produce a dynamic sound across the frequencies. The single-coil sound is what we all know and love from a Telecaster, that bright twangy tone is unmistakable. The slanted bridge pickup adds more treble and has a higher gain output, working beautifully with the guitar's solid alder body. This single-coil pairing is powered by alnico magnets that produce a wide range of different tones suitable for many different genres including blues, rock, country and jazz.
The Telecaster has a Master Volume control with Treble-Bleed circuitry, designed to let the guitar's true sound come to life. A Master Tone control and a 3-position blade pickup switch make tweaking your sound very straightforward.
A 3-saddle strings-through-body Tele bridge with compensated brass saddles with a removable modern "Ashtray" style bridge cover is fitted to the lower bout of the body. The nickel/chrome hardware plus a protective pickguard complements the style and beauty of the American Professional Telecaster.
The Tele headstock is fitted with dependable Fender standard cast/sealed staggered tuning machines which work tirelessly in conjunction with the bone nut and bridge to maintain tuning integrity with precision.
To keep the guitar looking and sounding as good as new, Fender supply an Elite molded case, ideal for transporting or storing your new pride and joy away when it is not in use.

I avoided the internet for a few days while hanging out in Hawaii. It was awesome. I got way, waaaay more sleep than usual.
Then today I finally log in to happily share my sun-filled adventures and… and find out that my guild is no more.
It was one of those moments when you think "this can not possibly be happening!" Yet once I dried my tears, it occurred to me that I was expecting it all along, I just wasn't expecting it to happen… you know…right now.
As far as I could tell, things were going well: our progression was excellent, we didn't need to aggressively recruit anymore, everyone got along pretty well… Our leaders were extra-dedicated though and extra-dedicated leaders always crack.
Since I'm far from a proper computer, can't listen in on mumble and was only fed a few lines on twitter, I only know the rumours. Plus it all happened literally a few minutes before I logged on, so it sounds like everyone is trying to figure out what hit us. Something about our leaders and a select group of players taking the guild (and the guild bank) offserver to be a 10s group, leaving the rest of us hanging.
Quite frankly, I expected better, but, in my time as an active member of the WoW community I've heard a lot of guild implosion stories and, well, this is pretty typical of guild leaders cracking. It sucks because I really liked this guild, really liked this guild. But if my past guild heartbreaks have taught me anything, it's that nothing lasts forever and there's no point in crying over the inevitable.
So what now?
It'll be over a week before I can log into the game again. I have no idea what will happen to my fellow abandoned guildies.
Will they pull together to start over?
Will they merge with another 25s guild? (Since we have no leaders at the moment, we're perfect candidates for mergers. We're strong players and none of us need to be in charge.)
Will we all just scatter?
I can't stop wondering what I want to do. I liked this guild. It's hard to fit raiding around my work schedule, I don't want to run 10s, and I sure as heck don't want to do "casual raiding". I tried casual raiding and hated it.
If my guildies go for a salvation attempt, I'll be behind them 100% regardless of our chances, but if not, what are my options?
It's really hard to come back after a break from raiding, but at the same time, I'm so tired of fighting to get my work schedule to let me raid. If I quit raiding, or joined a guild where I have a lot of friends as a social/occasional raider, my real life would be way easier. But I would miss raiding like crazy.
It's times like this where I sort of regret not getting a 9-5 office job like everyone else.
(Amusing fact, a few weeks ago I went to Vegas with some ex-guildies and we joked about me going back to them. While I doubt they'd genuinely want me back, and I could never fit their raiding style or schedule, if I had to pick somewhere to return to as a non or occasional raiding member, I think I would enjoy their mumble server the most. Funny how fate teases us like that.)

Article No :388 | October 8, 2008 | by Alex Schleifer
If you just can't wait to try out T-Mobile's G1 Google Phone you might be interested in this (very basic) emulator. I'm still unsure about the whole look of the thing but I do like that draggable information bar at the top (which is one of the few things working on the emulator.) We can't deep link straight to it, so don't miss the "emulator" link in the navigation.

Canada's Parliament opened today, and in the Honour Guard was my husband (he has gone on lots of parades this year) as part of the Air Force Guard, amidst the Army Guard, the Naval Flag Party, the Canadian Forces Band, the Artillery (as it performed a 21 gun salute) and a small but brave and hearty contingent of civilian onlookers.
(He found it a "bit chilly"—there was snow on our lawn this morning with a temperature of -10 Celsius or so—as they stood at attention waiting for Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, to inspect them. But other than that, he said the parade was a big success, topped off by a delicious lunch at the West Memorial Block.)
The Library and Archives Canada has put on the Canada Gazette - "the official newspaper of the Government of Canada" - all of the issues since 1998. However, all of the issues since 1841 will be made available soon on the same website <http://canadagazette.gc.ca/index-e.html>.
The digitization project—which began in 2007—is still underway, and by the end of this year, full access to all issues of the Canada Gazetter (1841-1998) will be available to the researcher.
I will be excited to see if Barclay WEBSTER—a first cousin 4 times removed by marraige of Edwardina Mary (Ina Mary) BARCLAY, daughter of James of Shelburne, Nova Scotia to Dr. Henry Bently WEBSTER of Kentville, Nova Scotia—who had a very succesful law practice in Kentville, Nova Scotia, and was the Conservative member of Parliament in November 1900, is mentioned.

When Nancy Mayor and her husband Joel bought the Manor and Knoll boutique gift shop on Germantown at 8433 Germantown Ave. five years ago, they wanted to give it a fresh start. They renamed the store, Cobblestones and infused the store's inventory with upscale lines from around the region.
"It's been amazing," Mayor said standing in the middle of store looking out onto the Avenue. "We had a ball."
Mayor was reflecting on their time as business owners in Chestnut Hill, which will come to an end on March 31. The Mayors are closing the store and retiring.
"It's truly time to retire, to travel," she said.
Joel is "beyond retirement age" and, as Mayor put it, she "isn't far behind."
They were on their way to retirement and warmer weather when their daughter and son-in-law started a family.
Although the Mayors live in Lower Gwynned, they have felt like a part of Chestnut Hill.
"We feel very fortunate," she said of the reaction to the store's closing. "We've been blown away by the kind comments."
In preparation for closing, everything in the store has been discounted 25 percent.
"We are sorry to leave, but we are looking forward to having time for ourselves," she said.
According to Mayor, building owners Bowman Properties, has another tenant lined up.
