These can't be the same guys that got swept in the most embarrassing fashion in the 2009-2010 playoffs, can they?
The Atlanta Hawks made dubious history in last season's playoffs, losing to the Orlando Magic by a record number of averaged points. The only way they could do worse is to make history again, by giving up a 3 games-t0-1 lead to the Magic in this year's first round series. NBA history is on the Hawks' side, and unless Dwight Howard's supporting cast decides to don a collective set of capes, the Hawks will drive on to round 2 of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs.
Half Empty, Half Full
Most folks didn't give the Hawks much of a chance against the Magic in this series, but now some quickly changed their tune, even before last night's win. But what do the fans think of all of this? Did the Hawks fool us all season long into believing that they are less than they truly are? Have they reached their potential? Or is Orlando truly that bad, despite the dominating performance of Dwight Howard? Just how accurate our incredulity is, is a testament to how confusing this team can be. After losing the final six games of the season, there was little hope that the Hawks would come into this series with their heads held high, and a major chip on their shoulders. The Hawks haven't just gotten the matchup with Orlando down pat, they've even figured out how to press the advantages they have.
On the other hand, this past season (and offseason) saw Orlando make some big roster moves to try and get over the hump and back into the Eastern Conference Finals. Perhaps it's unseemly to give the opponent more discredit than to give the home team credit, but rest assured of one thing – if the Hawks cruise into the second round of the playoffs and suffer a beating, every headline about THIS series will read about the fall of the Magic and NOT the rise of the Hawks.
Glass half empty…or half full?
Difference Makers
On the defensive side, the differences between this year's team and last year's is at the center and point guard positions. With Jason Collins spending 6 fouls and roughly 18 minutes getting under Howard's skin, the Hawks finally put themselves in position to defend the monstrous center one-on-one, and no longer subjecting them to futile run-outs at wide open shooters. At the top of the key, guard Kirk Hinrich holds his own, successful or not (Jameer Nelson has been scoring pretty well of late), once again, eliminating the frantic and ineffective help defense of the past.
But for my money, the biggest difference makers in this series are Joe Johnson and Jamal Crawford. Both guys stunk up the joint last postseason, scoring below their season averages and not shooting well enough to be a threat to anybody serious. This year has been a different situation altogether. Not only is the high scoring backcourt duo playing well, they've both stepped up their games in regard to field goal percentage and attack effectiveness. Facts are facts, and the team's two best scorers allow the Hawks to have a balanced attack, which has been just enough to beat the Magic's two man game.
One more win, and the Hawks prove that they've passed the Orlando Magic litmus test. But is it enough? Are the Hawks truly better than we thought they were, or are they just better than the Magic now?

Abe, no doubt. But Zaza has also taken a pounding (while rebounding, scoring a little and enforcing a lot). And even Hilton got in on the act. But for all that pounding, Dwight is putting up epic numbers. He's scoring 10 more than the regular season. If 5-6 players are averaging less than normal and one player is averaging more than normal… you recognize the group that is defending the guy averaging more than normal (while getting minimal rest as OB pointed out)? What is this, the bizarro world?

i'm sure some stat nerd will look up how effective each defender has been against dwight. but i get your point dwight has been sick.
can we really credit the hawks d for the magic's inept outside shooting? we all know outside shooting has its swings. in fact its the main reason for the hawks late season swoon. as they couldn't figure out any alternative way to score. now that the magic have lost all the players that could create shots for themselves, its only a matter time before those bricks turn into makes. let's just hope the shots don't start falling in game 5.
April 25th, 2011
4:27 pm
well that puts jamal in about the same epic category in his RESULTS for the post season in comparison to the regular season. throw out the 46 and dwigh begins to come back to earth a bit. he has not recreated the first night with fresh legs. dwight has also not dominated at crunch time, so he can score all the wants as long as when it comes time to measure up for the final shots he hasnt been the go to guy as yet for some reason. then it is just happenstance that their shooters all go dead? we will see. collins has been huge literally against dwight taking his best shots and wearing him out mentally as well as physically, zaza, too for that matter then hilton but uh etan and powell? uh, not too much.
April 25th, 2011
4:45 pm
doc, Jamal is the 2nd player in league history to score 20 off the bench in the first 4 playoff games. So yeah, I think "epic" would apply. And if you were coaching such a poor foul shooter, how many times would you give him the ball in late/close game situations? Again, as I said from the beginning, I struggle to celebrate Collins' contribution above Zaza. I tend to go with the guy who plays more minutes, scores more points, grabs more rebounds and butts more heads. But Collins wins the flop award, hands down.

when jj dribbles into the corner and a double team i dont care what his receivers are doing astro. yes they stand around too much but jj sometimes just puts himself into a bind as he doesnt have the quicks or the handles that he used to have to get out of it. it happened again at least once in the fourth quarter. bb iq. find it.
April 25th, 2011
5:36 pm
i think dwight has become a much better fouls shooter, hasnt he? it was around 70% at some point this year and certainly better than our guys have done during this series. the way they are shooting id risk an and one with dwight and give him the ball if i could get it to him and forget the long range stuff. but i am not svg. heh heh
April 25th, 2011
5:39 pm
yeah astro i know with mchale mentioned it the other night and no he hasnt blown up that much over the regular season except in the first game and is trending down which i expected due to the load of collins et al during this series and why svg has been complaining so much because he knew it as well.
April 25th, 2011
5:40 pm
well,dwight about 70% for this series anyway as he was at 60% for the season where he stays.

I think it goes both ways, Hawks is playing alot better since the beginning of the playoffs but they still sucking when it comes down to rushing everything (tempo, shot selection and other stuff) but it is the Magic who is the shadow of themselves and they should probably didnt blow up the team so early in the season.
To me, I think the second round is going to be the major factor of the what the Hawks is going to do after the season and for the future, believe me from the GM (last year of his contact and might be retiring from GM) to Josh Smith (he is going on the trading block, if he contiunes thinking he is Dell Curry), from Larry Drew(this series earn him another season) to JJ will be including in this, even go after FA like CP3 and Dwight in 2012 will play in the big part in that seriee(we can still lose 3 straight to the Magic then it is blown up mode)
April 25th, 2011
6:51 pm
I think its a combination of both (JJ and the other players). And right now, JJ is stuck in his ways of holding the ball too long, while the other players are stuck in their ways of not making the effort to get open.
I know Jamal has been balling, and as a Hawks fan, I'm glad he is. but how much of it is due to this being a contract year, and his last chance to get that big contract? How many examples can we find where a player is awesome during his contract year, only to return to norms after signing his new deal.
I would like to resign Jamal. However, it has to be for the right price, because Hawks have made enough mistakes of overpaying for guys. And I dont think we want to invest too much money into a 31 year old SG after investing big money into a 29 year old SG.

From last blog:
"I give Jamal due credit when he deserves it. He is playing really well in this series. However, contrary to Rod, I know that the game of basketball is a team sport and a game which requires players logging 30+ minutes to play both sides of the court."
Yeah, I guess that why Jason Terry is averaging 33mpg in the playoffs also. Both guys supposedly play no defense, come off the bench and can put up big numbers. Wonder why both coaches let them play big minutes? Guess neither of them no anything about basketball either. You sound dumber and dumber everytime you respond.
April 25th, 2011
7:17 pm
Shoot away. I don't care.
Jamal is playing ABNORMALY well.
I hope he will keep it up. Yesterday he played really well. Focused, less out of control and trying to play D.
In case you missed it, Kerr praised Jamal heavily but said the following: Jamal is the type of player who not play more than 25 minutes and take as much as possible from his minutes. If you keep him more than 35 minutes or so he will often shoot you out of the game".
As for Terry and Dallas, I guess you did not tune in on their meltdown in Portland. If you did, you would know that Terry is being over-utilized as well.
April 25th, 2011
8:15 pm
Dallas is known for their meltdowns too. Golden State and Miami come to mind. And they can't blame it all on Avery Johnson since he isnt there anymore, so maybe the players (starting with Dirk) had something to do with it.
April 25th, 2011
8:18 pm
OK. If you put yourself in the line of fire, you will get shot. LOL

The Spurs are in trouble. Down 13 going into the 4th. They should be down 3-1 after tonight, and Memphis will have the chance to send them home early. I did not see that one coming.
And Mike Conley is playing well. I hope Teague can take step forward next year like what Conley has taken. Memphis is without Rudy Gay, but that might have been a blessing in disguise, because they would not have made the trade for Battier if Gay was healthy. And while Gay can score, he plays little defense.
April 25th, 2011
10:27 pm
yes watching a bit impressed with how this griz team has gelled over the course of the year. i dont see the spurs having any answers for what is going down right now as the griz are coming in waves.
April 25th, 2011
10:35 pm
If Memphis can win the series, that gives OKC a great chance of making it to the conference finals, becuase I think OKC would beat memphis in the next round. And I would love to see OKC make it to the NBA finals… to play the Hawks of course.
April 25th, 2011

"As for Terry and Dallas, I guess you did not tune in on their meltdown in Portland. If you did, you would know that Terry is being over-utilized as well."
So now Jason Terry is the reason Dallas has meltdowns? Wow.
April 25th, 2011
10:53 pm
o'b, i thought the lakers would draw the griz with the higher lower seeding with presumably the mavs and okc draw each other for the next round.
April 26th, 2011

I dont think the NBA reseeds in the playoffs, so the brackets will stay the same.
April 26th, 2011
7:48 am
yup o'b, could be a 2vs3 and 4 vs 8 in next series. i missed it but they said on tnt last night how rare it is for an 8 to beat a 1, maybe 3 times?
April 26th, 2011
7:50 am
Let's hope they can finish thing tonight. If not, Zaza needs to stay out of trouble so he can stoke the crowd in Atlanta for game 6. I have been critical of LD for not giving bench more burn during last 6 games, but I'm impressed Armstrong stepped up in Zaza's stead Sunday to harass Howard. Zaza said the bench were pro's and would step up. HA did. Bravo.
Finish off Orlando tonight, please.

Like Jamal's, Terry's D is mostly non existent, so when his shot is not falling, just like Jamal, he is a huge liability.
That game, he was 5-16 which is also a very Jamal-like line.
I saw the Brandon Roy resurrection in the 4th and Terry was on the floor for most of the time in which the 23 point lead eroded.
Honestly I don't recall if he was guarding him or not, but a backcourt with an decaying Kidd (whose D is no longer as good as it was), Juan Barea and Terry is, IMO, a very good step for disaster.
Terry posted a compounded -18 during his minutes in the 4th quarter (two shifts) and in his last shift of 5m19 seconds, he was 1-5 from the field so, yes, Terry was a factor, IMO.
In conclusion, I must say that I have not been very impressed with Carlisle's ability to coach in the playoffs.

Jamal is going to get a big paycheck from some other team after the season. We should have lock him up with a contract extension and now it is too late.
April 26th, 2011

The Thunder are more talented than the Grizzlies but I kind of think the Grizzlies may be a little more "playoff ready". I like the presence of Tony Allen, Battier and even Zach Randolph on their roster. Experienced guys who can do something significant when the pressure is at it's highest. And none of them are "finesse players". The Thunder are clearly the media darlings but I'm not convinced that Perkins is their version of Yoda. Durant and Westbrook may need a few more hard knocks before they are ready for the big time of a Finals appearance. If they do make it against a team like the Celtics, it could be a Cavs-Spurs type series.
April 26th, 2011
9:44 am
It doesnt happen much in the NBA. It could turn into a 6 vs 7 (Port vs N.O) and a 4 vs 8 (OKC vs Memphis). How crazy would that be?
I think going toe to toe with the Lakers for 6 games last year was part of their hard knocks. I do think it would be a close series though (at least 6 games), because Battier and Allen give them 2 good defenders, and Gasol and Randolph give them size to match up with OKC bigs.

Assuming Hawks continued success (with the Rope-a-Dope strategy) in the 1st round, what's the 'winning' strategy for the Bulls series? On the offensive end the Bulls' success is built around Rose's ability to drive the lane and finish, drive and dish to Boozer or Luol for mid-range jumpers, using his threat to drive to set-up his vastly improved J. Rose sets up the entire offense, and is likely the only individual problematic match-up.
On the defensive end Thibs is a master at effectively devising team-specific schemes, and his players (they go 10-11 deep, and they allow themselves to be coached) expend the energy to execute the defensive schemes. JJ's tendency to dance with the ball for 8-10 seconds of the shot clock will likely be met with traps, turnovers, and fastbreak points that'll get those cats on Madison even more jacked up than they normally are.
April 26th, 2011
10:39 am
newkid, IMO, the Hawks would need to focus on 2 things if they meet the Bulls.. rebounding the ball and closing lanes for Rose to drive the ball. I've been a big believer in the Bulls since they put together a very, very good collection of rebounders during the summer (Boozer, Noah, Gibson, Kurt Thomas and Asik). Since missed shots increase during the playoffs, rebounding becomes that much more important to end a possession. Even before the Hawks get to think about Rose, they need to figure out how they will score against a very good defense AND rebound the ball. If they can actually make that happen, then they get to deal with the likely MVP. "What's your prediction for the fight?" they asked Clubber Lane. "PAIN".
OB, I'm very skeptical that the Thunder have the experience and resolve at this point to make that kind of a run. I remember reading that Perkins was impressed with how well they work together and get along (when he arrived). So the fact that they "know their roles" will most definitely help them play beyond their inexperience.

rose, turned all our "athletic' guys upside down and sideways continually in the games i saw. if he is on we cant hold him back is what my fears are unless they bring collins out to flatten him on one of his drives. as hinrich said our defense was good because he was missing his shots. the problem is he penetrates easily against us so it doesnt matter if his a game from outside is not working if he is patient.
April 26th, 2011
11:17 am
By 'closing lanes' AJ, I take it you mean either Rose's defender (Kirk or Jeff) stays in front of him, or the 3 and/or 4 collapse to the middle to 'squeeze' the alley after Rose has beaten his defender. The counter to this squeeze play is the dish to Boozer or Deng for mid-range jumpers. Can't have it both ways, can we (especially if Boozer and Deng are making their shots)? So one key seems to be the extent to which Hinrich and Teague can stop Rose's penetration in one-on-one situations. Force him to take and make the long jumper from the very outset. If he's making them early, lookout.
Defensive rebounding is about man-to-ball positioning and concentration; offensive rebounding is about effort. The Bulls will likely 'out-effort' the Hawks (particulary Noah and Gibson), and therefore get more than their fair share of offensive boards. Even if Rose is only moderately successful, if the Bulls convert their 2nd chance opportunities at a high rate, we're in trouble. On our offensive end, let's hope we're making shots at a high rate so that there aren't many rebounds to be had.
April 26th, 2011
11:18 am
The strategy for the Bulls is to give Rose that three point shot and when he does drive bring the hammer .
Rose in just 4 games has already taken a huge amount of punishment and they havent even closed out the Pacers . The physicality of the pacers is taking its toll a bit and we want to continue that if we get to play them.
Ours bigs should use there fouls but use them wisely. I think he gets the old superstar wink win as defender and I would make him play defense and wear him down .
It seems as though we view the Bulls the same way we used to view the magic with Dwights dunks seemingly demoralized us as everyone was so caught up in the "oh no Dwight dunked on me" ….now we are like so what he is not gonna wan this game though.
We need to apply the same strategy to Rose the guys a superstar he is not gonna be shut down but we have to make him pay for every point we can and not get caught in worrying about his highlight plays.
April 26th, 2011
11:30 am
newkid, you nailed it. Like I said before, "PAIN".
April 26th, 2011
11:37 am
Sleepy, I agree. But Rose has a MUCH better supporting cast this season than Dwight.And it some ways, it is easier to stop a center who spends 95% of his time in a specific area of the court than trying to contain a PG who is everywhere. My biggest fear is that we are badly out-rebounded and that the Bulls are constantly pushing the tempo off our missed shots. The Magic are a half-court team (like us) while the Bulls would have no problems sprinting down the floor for easy baskets.
April 26th, 2011
11:41 am
Enough talk about the Bulls… there is a scenario that has the Hawks losing tonight (the Magic will pull out all of their ammunition/tricks), the Hawks come home and experience a Milwaukee-Game-5 type let down at home and then we're dealing with a Game 7 in Orlando. Surely one of these teams will have a 3-point barrage game in this series… will the Magic make it rain at home tonight?
April 26th, 2011
12:19 pm
Stop talking about the Bulls. If the Hawks are as immature as the fans, we can expect a major disaster.
The Magic have been shooting like blind men and nonetheless they have won 1 game and been veeery close on 2.
I don't think that it is unreasonable to think that they could have a good shooting night today and that if they do, they will pull out an easy win. If this carried on going forward…
Also, Jamal has been smoking hot. Actually, too hot to be true and to continue like this.
.471 from the field and .565 from 3 point land is outlandish and I don't think he can carry on like this.
Enter a small fluctuation to these two variables and we have the recipe for a major let down and the Hawks being the 9th team to blow a 3-1 advantage on a 7 game series.
April 26th, 2011
12:22 pm
One thing about Collins that you obviously missed: late in the 4th, he came in to replace J-Smoove after his 5th foul.
While guarding Howard one on one, he rotated, stepped and got a charge called on Turk's drive.
That play was absolutely crucial and was a masterpiece in defensive basketball.
April 26th, 2011
12:39 pm
Relax Vava74, Hawks' performance against Orlando in games 5, 6 (if necessary, and 7 (if necessary) not predicated on extent to which some fans begin 'early' discussion of possbile next opponent. At least I hope it isn't. Are you superstitious?
April 26th, 2011
12:56 pm
I do not agree that the TWO variables determinative of success or failure tonight are (1) How well or poorly the Magic (ENTIRE TEAM) shoots and (2) How well or poorly Jamal Crawford (ONE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER) shoots.
The Magic is the sum of it's parts, rightly so. Yet the Hawks, despite two all-stars Joe and Al and another player who is regarded as the best player not to make an all-star team, Josh, is seemingly reduced to having its fortune rest upon one sixth man's shoulders, Jamal.
I choose not to view the game through this prism. As I've stated in the past, I'm a Jamal fan. I think his offensive skill-set is much needed on our team. But, I'm a bigger Hawks fan. Call me old fashioned, but I don't believe one player will win or lose tonight's game.
If one player determined his team's success or failure, Orlando would have swept the Hawks already because Orlando's number 12 has dominated.
April 26th, 2011
1:04 pm
early discussion on a subject by fans is a good indication of what is also going in the minds of the players.
most of them are merely kids (or big kids) who have shown to be immature more often than not.
I am ZERO superstitious, but I am a realist: the MAGIC can't believe that they are 3-1 down against us and may feel that this has been an aberration.
If, and we are not talking about a big if, their shots start to fall and Jamal stops shooting like he is right now, close games like these past two wins quickly turn into lopsided losses.
I don't think most fans are realizing how thin is the line between winning and losing, in particular when we have not been winning with any degree of command over the course of the games.
April 26th, 2011
1:08 pm
Well, I am a bit superstitious, so maybe you and AJ are correct, let's stop this business about the Bulls until after the Magic series is wrapped.
April 26th, 2011
1:21 pm
Dreamer 3K,
As you know, I am not a Jamal fan, but contrary to what some people say around here, I am not a hater.
I am a realist who knows how fragile is the success based on jump shooting and in particular on jump shooting by a player who has been throughout his whole career extremely streaky.
Jamal was crucial during these past two wins and with JJ being consistent but not overwhelming, Jamal has been a key factor.
A bad shooting performance by Jamal is bound to happen at any moment and the problem with that is once that happens LD will not limit his minutes and will insist on him "shooting himself out of a slump", which, IMO, is one of the biggest myths in basketball.
When a streaky shooter is not shooting well the only right place for him to be is the bench.
If you add the above to the fact that Al has not been shooting well you'll see that we either start playing the right kind of basketball or we will crash and burn as soon as our jump shooting by our guards tails off a bit.
Having said the above, I do hope that JJ is fresh (after playing only 33 minutes) and has another good game in him in this series (like game 1) and gets us a win tonight.
April 26th, 2011
1:47 pm
Oh please Vava you are a hater lol . Just a couple of weeks ago you were claiming jamal shouldnt be playing more than 20 minutes a game and now that hes basically blew a hole in your entire argument you are in here trying to act as though you were anywhere close to being right in your criticism of jamal.
Now you are of the belief that one bad shooting performance means he should sit on the bench when he already comes off the bench ? Your hate is so deep that I believe that you dont even believe half the things you are saying but hey you would rather end out that message that your crazy as opposed to simply admitting that you were wrong .
April 26th, 2011
1:50 pm
newkid, AJ,
In addition to Boozer and Deng, there is also Korver who will hit the 3, so we have to make sure we stay on him. If Kirk gets in foul trouble, I dont think LD can afford to play Jamal at PG for extended minutes.
If the Hawks lose the next 3 games to Orlando, then major shake up should be coming (coach and player movement).
April 26th, 2011
1:53 pm
doc, being kinda rough on hiney don't ya think? grandma driving a porsche? heh good stuff. that analogy is spot for bibby.. but i'd say hinrich is more like at least a grandpa.. no? and lets bring that porsche down to an equus. fake luxury boss.
playoff basketball can dissected in so many different ways it can induce a severe migraine. for the sake of simplicity it's all about execution in the last 2 minutes of each quarter with the magnifying glass coming on in the 4th. case in point indy vs bulls/bos vs ny. indy has played extremely well but has had trouble executing in the last two minutes. boston is the best at time management and execution in the half court at the end of games. it requires a creative, smart coach. willing, focused, disciplined, unselfish players in order to make everything click. i have my doubts that the hawks have any of these characteristics. and before you go on and say the hawks are up 3-1, lets remember it's more of the magic's ineptitude than the hawks improvement. at the end of games they give the ball to joe or jamal and pray. that tactic will only take you so far.
April 26th, 2011
1:59 pm
honest_abe – we dont give the ball to JJ and Jamal at the end of the game and simply pray weve ran quite a few offensive sets both this year and last year.
Weve ran a ton of pick and roll with Al and jamal to great success at the end of games
Weve also seen the JJ/jamal pick and roll play
a lot depends on matchups and whose playing well.
April 26th, 2011
2:03 pm
glad to know you still got it honest. no arguments, agree with it all but hinrich is not a sports car but a solid ford i guess and we arent that athletic.
i like hinrich just he is what he is an a huge need and a big improvement on bibby. at least he wants the ball coming up the court. funny sometimes to see some of the silly little postural things that josh does like not give the ball up to the guy he should like hinrich but passes it off to someone else coming up court. it also seems like hinrich and ld communicate real well and hinrich is always tryong to herd the cats by calling a play even if it never gets in motion.
April 26th, 2011
2:21 pm
sleepy. snore. you can think what you like, i'm not going to change your opinion and that fine. but the hawks rarely call a play in the final two minutes. on occasion they'll do a little 2 man game with joe and jamal but more often than not whoever has the ball will call off the screen and go at it one on one. and heave some junk at the end of the shot clock. thats a fact jack.
doc exactly. he tries to get them into sets with little success. which is exactly what he tried to do in game 2. with the hawks down by 4 hinrich calls a play but of course who isn't paying attention. hmmm. everyone yells at josh to wake up and by that time everyone in the building can see which play is coming which is a jj curl off of a horford screen so richardson overplays it. josh throws a dumb pass to horford who is in awful position with 3 left to shoot. so he shoot an 18 foot fadeaway that has no chance.
sometimes i think joe or jamal would call a play but it takes the entire 5 to execute it properly and more often than not the play fails miserably so they just resort to an iso. i guess in hindsight it can be better than the alternative.

If you are wondering about how to calibrate lenses, this article has detailed explanations and different methods of AF fine tuning. Due to the nature of the phase detect autofocus system that is present on all SLR cameras, both cameras and lenses must be properly calibrated by manufacturers in order to yield sharp images. Various factors such as manufacturer defects, sample variation, insufficient quality assurance testing/tuning and improper shipping and handling can all negatively impact autofocus precision. A lot of photographers get frustrated after spending thousands of dollars on camera equipment and not being able to get anything in focus. After receiving a number of emails from our readers requesting help on how to calibrate lenses, I decided to write this tutorial on ways to properly fine tune focus on cameras and lenses. Lens calibration is a complex topic for many, so my goal is to make this guide as simple as possible, so that you could manage the process by yourself, while fully understanding the entire process. In addition, I strongly recommend to follow these tips every time you purchase a camera or a lens in order to identify and address any potential focusing issues. But I have to warn you – this article is NOT for beginners. If you just got your first DSLR, you might get very quickly frustrated with the calibration process.
1) Why Calibrate?
Why is there a need to calibrate lenses? With the release of new, high-resolution cameras like Nikon D800, it seems like calibration is becoming an important and hot topic. Why is that? As I have explained in a number of my photography articles and reviews, while the increase of megapixels in our cameras has a number of benefits (see benefits of high resolution cameras), it can also expose potential focus problems. A slight focus issue might not be as noticeable on a 10-12 MP sensor, but will be much more noticeable on a 25+ MP sensor (assuming both sensors are of the same size). Especially when viewed at 100%, which is what we, photographers unfortunately like to do too much. Hence, the need for a properly calibrated camera setup today is bigger than ever.

Thursday March 11, 2010
The construction of two new downtown parking garages are a small but positive sign that Louisville's economy is turning a corner, Mayor Jerry Abramson said today as he broke ground on the projects — a $15 million investment that will create hundreds of construction jobs.
The garages — at 4th and Chestnut and 9th and Market streets — are being built to complement and to help spur new investments downtown, including a new hotel and condo development and the new corporate headquarters for ZirMed, a fast-growing health care company.
"Although it will take years for the nation to recover from the recession, Louisville is moving ahead and planning for the future," Abramson said. "These two new garages will not only add parking to our downtown, they are helping spur additional investments that will add to downtown's vibrancy."
The 4th and Chestnut garage will complement a development called Clay Commons that includes new downtown condos, retail space and a hotel being developed by City Properties.
The 9th and Market garage will largely serve ZirMed, a fast-growing high-tech medical company whose new downtown corporate headquarters was designed and built by City Properties, headed by Bill Weyland.
"Attractive and modern parking garages, such as the ones we are breaking ground for today, are key to the continued growth and connectivity of our downtown. By developing surface lots into parking structures, we free up land for commercial, retail and residential development." said Councilman David Tandy, who represents downtown. "Once again, we are proud to partner with Bill Weyland and his team at City Properties Group, to continue making Louisville into the world class city we know it can be."
The Clay Commons garage, at 615 S. 4th St, will be seven levels, contain 330 spaces and cost $7 million. The Glasswork garage will have seven levels, 427 parking spaces and cost $8 million. Both will be completed in November.

images (e.g. .jpg, .gif) are often stored as files that are already compressed internally; compressing them again will yield only a very small size change, as you have observed.
compress() will usually make data smaller, ie is a compression method built into mysql (usimg the zlib algorithm); it only doea not work well on already pre-compressed images.

I know this is an old post, but a friend came up with the same question not too long ago:
Normal JPG images contain a normally completely useless 'add-on' which can be easily removed: the EXIF information block. Depending on size of the images, the removal of the EXIF info yields far better results than *ANY* compression, in my case tons of images the range of 25-30kb were left at roughly 8kb each (one third of the previous size!).
Google for tools that allow batch functions in this matter. I have Win7-64bit and still use the CMD-line (DOS-box) tool "JHEAD" as it works in batches (even though I mostly use it as button function from my file manager) ...
And no, dropping the EXIF data does not ruin or otherwise render a JPG file useless; the files are not even 'written' (re-compressed) again during the process, hence there is also no further quality loss.

* The AAS and CAS in Carpentry Technology are currently in Moratorium. We are not accepting new students into these programs. Students currently enrolled will be able to complete the degree or certificate. These programs are being reviewed and may become available in the future.
The Carpentry Technology program at MSU-Northern offers in-depth training for a career in the construction industry. As a competency-based carpentry school, the program emphasizes technical skills, mathematics, and hands-on experience to prepare you to safely and effectively perform job-related carpentry tasks.
Multi-disciplinary – Sharpen your skills with carpenter education courses that include topics in mixed electrical fundamentals, technical graphics, and welding for a well-rounded construction background.
Broad Career Skills – Complete a foundation in coursework that includes classes in writing, math, and communications for relevant career skills.
The construction industry employs more people and contributes more to the nation's economy than any other industry. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a faster than average growth in the carpenter jobs through 2020. This means that there is a source of well paying jobs and opportunities, especially for those who hold a construction degree. Graduates of MSU-Northern's carpenter school go on to pursue careers as journeyman carpenters, master carpenters, project and construction managers, architects, estimators, and general contractors.
"The academic and technical offerings available to students at MSU-Northern will

Montana a trained workforce that can respond quickly and flexibly to specific industry
Paul Tuss, Executive Director Bear Paw Development
"The shortfall in construction is not projected, it is here! Your new program is
of great interest to us."
Jim Lake, Vice President Swank Enterprises
"Presently I am turning away 50% of the projects that come into our office due to
a lack of qualified construction workers. I would whole heartedly support such a
program, and would offer any assistance my firm could make to get the program off
the ground."
Brad Lotton, President Lotton Construction, Inc
"It is imperative that industry and education work together to develop a new generation
of workers in the skilled trades. This need cannot be overstated."

Hispanic Heritage Month History in the United StatesBy Mariana De Maio
Each year, the United States honors the contributions that Latinos have made to our country with a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration that runs from September 15 to October 15. This annual celebration began 21 years ago, but its inception stretches back farther into our history. Congress first passed a resolution to celebrate Hispanic heritage at the national level as a weeklong event on September 17, 1968. Nearly 20 years later, on August 17, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stretched the celebrations to a month, from September 15 to October 15.
September 15 was chosen as this celebration's start date in order to coincide with the Independence Day celebrations of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile observe their independence on September 16 and September 18, respectively.
This commemorative month honors the influence and impact of Hispanics in all spheres of U.S. society, including science, art, politics, culture and the economy. Catholic Relief Services recognizes that more than 39 percent of U.S. Catholics are Hispanic and is honored to join in celebrating and paying tribute to the diversity of cultures and accomplishments within the Latino community. The support of Latinos is crucial to our work as the official international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic community.
Throughout the history of CRS, our agency has been intimately linked with Latin America. In fact, our very first project in 1943 began south of the U.S. border when Colonia Santa Rosa, in Guanajuato, Mexico, gave shelter to 709 Polish refugees that we helped place. This began a shared history that continues more than 65 years later. Then, as now, our mission was to assist the poor and suffering on the basis of need, without regard to creed, race or nationality.
Throughout the history of the United States, people have come from various parts of the globe and have contributed to build this nation where we live today. Commemorating Hispanic Heritage Month gives us an opportunity not only to feel proud of our roots, but also to educate those who are not Hispanic about the richness and diversity of the various Latin American cultures.
Some Interesting Statistics*
- Hispanics make up 15 percent of the nation's total population, about 46.9 million (as of July 1, 2008), making people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or race minority. In addition, there are approximately 4 million residents of Puerto Rico.
- More than half of all people added to the U.S. census between July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2008, was Hispanic. That's 1.5 million Hispanics added to census.
- There was a 3.2 percent increase in the Hispanic population between July 1, 2007, and July 1, 2008, making Hispanics the fastest-growing minority group.
- Projections indicate that by July 1, 2050, there will be 132.8 million Hispanics in the United States. That means Hispanics will make up 30 percent of the nation's population.
- In 2008, the United States' Hispanic population ranked second in the world. Only Mexico (110 million) had a larger Hispanic population than the United States (46.9 million).
- In 2007, 64 percent of Hispanics in the United States were of Mexican origin. Another 9 percent were of Puerto Rican background, 3.5 percent Cuban, 3.1 percent Salvadoran and 2.7 percent Dominican.
- In 2008, 25 percent of children below age 5 and 22 percent under 18 were Hispanic.
- There are 16 states with at least a half-million Hispanic residents: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
- In 2007, 35 million U.S. residents age 5 and older spoke Spanish at home. Those who speak Spanish at home constituted 12 percent of U.S. residents. More than half of these Spanish speakers spoke English "very well."
- In Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas at least one in five residents spoke Spanish at home in 2007.
- In 2007, 78 percent of Hispanics 5 and older spoke Spanish at home.
- Four Hispanic last names were among the 15 most common names in 2000. It was the first time that a Hispanic surname reached the top 15 during a census. García was the most frequent Hispanic last name, occurring 858,289 times and placing eighth on the list—up from 18th in 1990. Rodriguez (ninth), Martinez (11th) and Hernandez (15th) were the next most common Hispanic last names.

Pearl Jam has revealed that they'll be performing at the home of Eddie Vedder 's favorite baseball team this summer. On Wednesday, the band posted a picture on their Facebook page announcing that they'll be playing a concert at Wrigley Field -- the home of the Chicago Cubs -- on July 19. Tickets for the event will go on sale on February 9 at 10 a.m. CT.
While this is the first time the band is performing at Wrigley Field, Vedder himself has a long history of appearing at the stadium. The singer performed with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Rage Against the Machine 's Tom Morello at the venue on September 7 of last year. In addition, Vedder has sung the traditional seventh-inning stretch song, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," several times at Wrigley Field and back in 2007, he even threw out the first pitch at a Cubs home game.

In my presentation to the City Council Monday night I gave an astonishing number– two numbers actually. Our door count increased 50% from 2008 to 2010– from roughly 223,000 to 353,000. The door count is an exact number– but is actually an undercount since we do not have a counter at the handicapped door. Help us discuss why our numbers are so high. Part of the increase is due to the recession of course but are there other reasons? Dee

I heard the sound of tree trimming yesterday and ignored it for a long time. I finally looked out my window and it appeared that three trees were coming down in the parkway on 3rd street. Frank, our gardener, and I went out and those three trees are coming down by the City of DeKalb. One is on our property and two were on the First Lutheran propery– I shoudl say parkways. In fact, there are two more on our parkway that Frank thinks should come down too. At first, we thought they had been infected. They were Norwegian Maples– but had been stressed in previous years of drought. So were dead in the inside and only now starting to show the dead limbs, etc. Teh ash trees in the city are coming down too– ash borer. I wonder what we can plant that will be even more sturdy.
Beautiful weather
Take a walk and look at our gardens. Howeever, what a shock this morning. I was sitting in my office listening to what I thought was tree trimming. But… the Norwegian maples on the 3rd street side of the parkway have been stressed by the previous years of drought!!! Three are coming down today. Our gardener, Frank, pointed out that the two remaining ones on our property parkway are also dying. So sad. Dee
I had the pleasure of working on the reference desk yesterday– a lovely Sunday afternoon. The library was very busy. Both in the children's department and the adult department. People were selecting books, asking about downloading audio books and e-books, reading the newspapers and magazines and the children were getting their prizes for summer reading. Everyone was pleased with the beautiful weather. A very nice afternoon. Dee
Beautiful Day
I think I have to go for a walk today. What gorgeous weather. Stop by and admire our gardens.
Over a thousand
Our children's department has posted a record number this summer– so far over 1,000 young people have signed up for Summer Reading!!!! These families– parents/ guardians/grandparents–are encouraging their children to read during the summer. Congratualtions to Theresa Winterbauer and her outstanding staff and to all of the families who make the effort to come to the library during this long hot summer.
We have a librarian now who works helping people download e-books. Her name is Jodi and she will be available Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We will have a more complete schedule after Labor day.

DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — A husband has been named a person of interest in the disappearance of a central Florida woman and their two children.
Volusia County Sheriff's Office investigators said Thursday that Luis Toledo is now considered a person of interest regarding his missing wife, Yessenia Suarez, and their two grade-school age children.
Suarez and her children were last seen on Tuesday.
Investigators say Suarez has two cars registered in her name. One was found in the driveway of her Deltona home and the other was found in the parking lot of a Publix in Lake Mary.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is assisting in the investigation.

Miley Turns 18: The Hit Heard 'Round the World
Miley Cyrus is by no means the first newly christened 18-year-old to party her ass off.
In this TMZ video, we clearly see Miz Cyrus taking a big ol' hit of something, but that something isn't your typical, dispensary-sanctioned, softcore weed.
It's being said that she was smoking "salvia," also known as "seer's sage," a hardcore Mexican herb with hallucinogenic properties that more and more kids are tripping out on. Salvia is reportedly legal in the state of California, so Miley will likely be free of repercussions -- other than the tsks she hears from those who are still peeved that Hannah Montana isn't pure as the driven snow.
Will we next see Miley desperate to score more salvia dark alleys? Doubt it. In researching the effects of the drug, TMZ interviewed an L.A. psychiatrist named Dr. Joe Haraszti, who said, "Animal data suggest that salvia is not addictive. But people will try it once and since it's such an intense and unpleasant experience ... they will not want to do it again."
Yikes! Have you guys heard anything about salvia? Is it the rage among kids these days? What's the word?
I tried salvia years ago and it was fun… but very short lived. The effects were very quick to wear off and left me with a huge headache. Its probably not something people will become frequent users of because it's not all that great. Curiosity is probably the number one reason people even try it….
I tried salvia and I had the worst experience evr it isn't worth it and if she's smart then she will grown up but I do know that alot of the marines smoke salvia because It is not seen In drug test and cause it Is legal in cali.
LOL wow the author doesn't get out much, does she?
I can't get over how much she has "grown-up"…she used to be every mothers dream…
…a nice sweet girl for your daughter to emulate..maybe a bit of a smart a$$, but I believe that was for the show.
Now, I don't want my 12 yr old even looking at Miley with some of those outfits she wears…
..and if these kids are tripping out with "weed" that has Hallucinogenic properties, and major headaches…maybe marijuana would be preferable :-)
Not that they should do either, just seems marijuana is the lesser of two evils.
Another Disney princess growing up and trying new things.
I've have actually NEVER heard of Salvia. In a way I'm glad, because it shows that I do not get into that kind of garbage or hang around those types of crowds. I think it is pretty sad that teens and adults feel that they need to use any type of drug whether it be legal or illegal. I get high every day. High on the Lord that is. If more people, including Miley, really knew Him they would know that they do not need anything else but Him to get through life.
Salvia is nothing special. You hallucinate for 5 minutes and then regain your composer. No biggie.
Weed's not horrible either. It's calming and relaxing. The big fear is that it's a gateway drug. Not necessarily so.
And Melissa, not everyone believes in the invisible man above. Personally, I think He lives with Santa, the Easter bunny, the Tooth Fairy… In fact, it's sad people need to believe in God just to keep themselves from doing bad things or being depressed that there may be no afterlife and that a shroom-eating hippie named Jesus may have ate more than he should have. You don't believe the homeless wacko is the next son of God like he professes, do you? We're not as gullible as we once were.
I'm sorry you feel that way. Too bad for you.
Just sad, one day everyone will know the truth and it will be too late for them. Merry Christmas!
Well, Miley is being a teen I guess, experimenting like most teens do, but after that experience, she will probably never do that again. All we can do is pray for her. CAP, sorry you feel like that about Jesus, thats only because you haven't experienced Him, so-to-speak. Ask Him to come into your heart, when your all alone, so nobody has to know what your doing, unless you want to, but hey, thats up to you, but ask Him to show himself to you in some way, which He will choose the way, and He will. He likes to show himself when non-believers ask Him to, seriously. After all, He is the one who created life (us) I'm not imposing my belief's on you, just being a friendly caring person and telling you like somebody did for me. Its called having love and compassion for my fellow human being. There's nothing wrong with that… we all need someone to care about us…
How sad that people use this as a forum to convert instead of responding to the author and her questions…
I think Miley is just being a teen and experimenting. Unfortunately she has a bigger responsibility than most teens in that a lot of pre-teens look to her behavior and actions as a role model. She should have thought of that before being caught on camera :-( I don't think salvia and weed are that different. More like two sides of the same coin.
Seriously does this stuff need to be put out there the last thing i need is my miley obsessed daughter to ask me what she is doing with a bong. Some things should be kept private. The people that put this stuff ou there should realize that kids don't need to see this they like her and next thing you know they will think it's cool cuz miley is doing it. So thanks for putting it out there so i can explain it to my seven year old.
Seriously I agree that weed is the lesser of two evils also, and just because people smoke weed doesn't mean that they are bad people. Seriously you know how many times i have prayed and tried to get through the days and seriously what good has the man supposedly above done for me and my family? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. so you keep praying if that is what you do but some people prefer to actually see and feel the effects they're looking for.
Evil is not. Simply put. It is not. Also too good is not. Simply put. It does not exist. There is no limitation to the interpretations of spiritiuality, so why digress into the politics of society if none of us can even agree on what our imaginations try to manifest? Salvi divinorum. Don't know it? Don't understand it? It's a plant. It grew here on Earth. That snow-globe we stand on and rape all the time? That one. Its about as bad as you, or I. Meaning you make meaning by what you think it is. You want to think its bad for you. Then it probably is. Keep this in mind however. Everyone outside of YOU does not have the same state of mind that you do. So chill. Keep going. Believe in whatever you want. This is America. And I'll defend that idea till I'm dead. Keep up the rebellion girl. Your 18. You have your whole life ahead of you. Don't let anyone else tell you how to live your life, especially your father.

PROVO, Utah (AP) - Kelly Olynyk scored 19 points, Gary Bell Jr. hit four 3-pointers and No. 2 Gonzaga survived a late Brigham Young rally for a 70-65 victory Thursday night and its 10th outright conference title.
The Bulldogs (28-2, 15-0 West Coast Conference) host Portland on Saturday and a win there could mean Gonzaga's first-ever No. 1 ranking.
Gonzaga led by 11 points with 10:51 left but BYU fought back.
Consecutive 3-pointers by Brock Zylstra, another by Craig Cusick and two free throws by Brandon Davies tied it at 60 with 4:18 remaining.
Olynyk hit a key jumper down the stretch and Kevin Pangos made two free throws to help seal it.
BYU had one final chance with 6.6 seconds remaining and down three points but Gonzaga fouled Craig Cusick before he could attempt a 3.
The Zags welcome the Portland Pilots to The Kennel on Saturday, March 2nd.

Police plan to keep a high visibility presence along the Mag Mile on weekend nights, especially as it gets warmer, hoping to discourage the kind of activity we saw this weekend--but a lot of businesses are watching and worried about what lies ahead.
SEE: 3 adults and 25 teens charged in Mag Mile melee, Red Line attack
The mob melee that marred a nice night out for a lot of people Saturday played out right in front of the Devon Seafood Grill where Darren Watson was working.
"It was a mass mob, not a pleasant scene at all, Watson says. "Myself and the other two managers on duty, we stood in front of the restaurant to kind of protect the entryways so we wouldn't have any of the crowd coming through the doors."
Police arrested 17 people in connection with what they called a fight that broke out between two large groups of young people.
Extra patrols assigned to the area prevented the problem from getting out of hand.
"We were there, we were on top of it, and we dispersed it immediately," Supt. Garry McCarthy explained. "And I also want to be clear there were no assaults, robberies or property damage that were reported."
The superintendent blamed the situation in part on the nice weather, which in the past he has discounted as a factor in crime spikes.
But Alderman Brendan Reilly, who's 42nd Ward includes the Mag Mile, is calling on police to assign more cops to patrol the area, and he has floated the idea of allowing businesses to hire off-duty police to provide security.
"Those kids have every right to go downtown," McCarthy says. "The behavior that they engaged in, if it's illegal, they will be arrested quickly and prosecuted and that's how we're gonna handle it."
The mayor suggested these incidents should not hurt the lucrative tourism business of Michigan Avenue.
"Since I deal a lot in the tourism and convention business, a lot of people always mention to me about the presence on Michigan Avenue of the police force," Emanuel said.
"That plan would have to include, again, more boots on the ground," FOP Spokesperson Pat Camden told FOX 32. "You're going to need officers not only on Michigan Avenue, you're also going to need more officers in and around CTA stations, where these youths are coming in to Michigan Avenue."
Businesses are just hoping that after Saturday night, police will have a plan for when the warmer weather hits.
"The guests that were sitting here Saturday night they were in a little disbelief," Watson says. "It's sort of an eye opener what the summer has in store for us."
There was also a second, unrelated incident where police arrested 11 teens for attacking two women on a CTA train at State and Lake.
The Fraternal Order of Police said the administration's plans for the summer have to include more police officers in and around Michigan Avenue, as well as on the CTA trains, which many of the thugs use to get downtown.

And my last arguement was right on topic too, I didnt agree with what was being advertised...what is your point to all of this? How about you spend the full 24 hours in your day cutting ppl up who go off topic too.

Well. It's been a long time since I've written one of these. Here's a quick update at two in the morning. I'm almost starting Sophomore year, and debating on which shows to audition for at school. Just got my new schedule, slightly okay with it. Not terribly thrilled. I have an amazing boyfriend whom I've spent most the summer with. I am not the not-so-proud owner of braces and just had two wisdom teeth out last week. Not fun. Anyhoodles, that's it for now.

Emmet wants to practice transporting people, and you volunteer to help. He's trying to teleport you and himself to the kitchen in Lance's castle, but the two of you end up in a very dark, very deserted, and very creepy hallway. Emmet says he thinks you're in on of the old abandoned parts of the tunnels in the basement, and that it might take a while to find your way out. What do you do?
Well, we better get started! I'd look try to feel along the walls and test out different escape methods. I don't mind being alone in the dark with Emmet... although being somewhat clumsy, I might step on his foot here and there. After about 10 minutes I'd realize that Emmet could just try to transport us again and then we'll go from there.
Kai shakes you awake early on morning, jumping up and down with excitement. When you ask what's going on, he tells you he found a map for buried treasure that supposedly lies in a nearby forest. Its 7 am, and he wants you to help him look for it. What do you do?
Kai, isn't it a little early for this??? I'd probably tell him to wait another hour and then we'll search for the treasure. I will help, but after I sleep in for another hour. Then we'll have an adventure in the forest and hopefully find the treasure.
You're walking through the library in Lance's castle, looking for a book to read. It seems to be deserted, and you've got a song stuck in your head. In an "aw what the heck" moment, you begin singing it as you look through the shelves. As you keep walking, you get louder and more into it, until you're belting the song out at the top of your lungs and kind of dancing through the aisles. Then, suddenly, you turn a corner and come face to face with Lance. What do you do?
Erm. hehehe. I'd probably get quiet all of a sudden and it'd be awkward for a few seconds. Then I'd start laughing so hard it hurts. Then I'd ask Lance to help me find a book to read since he probably knows the library better than I do. When I finally find a book I'd tell him that they really should get a catalog like my library has, but NO Cumpassia has no technology xD
Joseph is panicking because its Kai's birthday tomorrow and he doesn't know what to get for him. Finally, he recruits you to make Kai's favorite dish, which is called Cumber Cream. You soon discover that this is basically just chocolate pudding. However, Joseph wants to make it from scratch, without any help from the chefs. What do you do?
Way to make things difficult Joseph. I'd help him make the pudding from scratch, I'd probably fail epically before actually making it correctly. I can't cook to save my life and would probably mess up pudding. It'll make for some laughs though!
Kai has taken you back to the "secret stables" that are full of mythical creatures so you can help him feed them. Everything seems to be going well, when a some furry creature with sharp fangs jumps onto Kai from out of nowhere and bites him! What do you do?
WHAT WAS THAT THING??? I'd probably take a broom and start beating at it and hitting it away. After it leaves I'd probably go get Lance since he'd know what to do better than I would. I can't leave Kai though, so I'd put him on a horse and take him with me. When I reach the others I explain what happened and then probably yell "FIX IT PLEASE" if they still haven't done anything, which I doubt they wouldn't have done something by then.
You're back at Praseodymium and Neodymium's House of the Ambassadors, staying overnight. You wake up in the middle of the night and go to use what passes for the bathroom. You hear strange rustling sounds coming from Emmet's room. You cautiously peer in and open the door to discover that...he's eating a bag of gummy worms?! What do you do?
Ask him where he got the gummy worms and tell him that he better give me some! I am supposed to help save Cumpassia. Therefore I deserve a gummy worm.
You're sitting with Joseph in a secluded room in Lance's castle, reading. It's far away from all the other rooms, and you decided to use it because Kai and Emmet got in a particularly big shouty-fight over one of Kai's pranks. The hallway outside is pitch black, except for the room that the two of you are in, because night has fallen and no one has lit torches, since no one uses the hall. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows the rickety window open and extinguishes your torch, leaving you in pitch blackness. Joseph reaches over and clutches your arm in a death grip, and you can feel him shaking. You lean over and whisper, "Um...are you afraid of the dark?" but his only answer is a whimper. What do you do?
Say "I'll take that as a yes. Don't worry Joseph. Ju÷st hold on to my arm and we'll walk back to where there's a light" and then I'd probably drag him into the hallway and we'd walk until we get to an area where they light the torches.
You're exploring the castle one day, when you walk into a room that looks like a study. You're surprised to see Lance inside, sitting at a big desk that's piled high with books. He's staring at a piece of paper in his hand, and he looks devastated. But when he hears you walk in, he quickly looks up and shoves the paper in the desk's drawer. You hesitantly ask him if everything's okay, and he says its fine. But when he turns around you think you see him wipe a tear from his eye. What do you do?
I'd say "Okay. I KNOW somethings up. Tell me. Or I'll have to sneak in here when you're not around and read it myself. I worry about you. You're strong for everyone else, but you need someone who will be strong for you. Please tell me what's making you upset?" and then whether or not he tells me is up to him. Either way I'm giving him a hug as well.
You wake up one morning in desperate need of a shower. But since they don't have showers in Cumpassia, you decide you'll have to settle for a bath. However, once you sit up in your bed, you see that Dev is already heating water over the fire to prepare a bath for you. What do you do?Say "DEV! I LOVE YOU! LIKE AHHHHH. You are amazing. and I really need a bath. But we all know what happened last time... Gee I really do have a bad luck with bathing here" and then proceed to take a bath and then hang out with Dev

You know the drill! (Mostly gonna be me today and some random ghosties)
ME: *arrives at said happy place, which is a victorian house in the middle of the woods if you MUST know* Ah, it still feels like home *flops down on bed*
ME: Well *rubs hands together* I might as well get started! Now, where's that incense burner... *rumages through the closet* FOUND IT! Now, I have to brew some tea...~30 minutes later~
ME: okay so my tea and my incense are set up. Let me just grab my notebook and pen... Got it! Okay *takes a sip of tea* let's do this... *takes another sip, closes eyes, and opens them to the spirit realm*
Toll keeper: Why are YOU here? Last time I checked, you're still alive girly!
ME: Oh Amadeus, you haven't changed at bit. Nice to see you too! *hugs Amadeus*
Amadeus: I missed ya!
ME: I missed you too! you're like a grandfather to me.
Amadeus: So what brings you back to the spirit realm?
ME: Well, I needed some answers, and I was hoping to get some Bone cookies.
Amadeus: I'm sure Shirley will be happy to see you! You are her favorite customer, besides me of course.
ME: *laughs* Of course Ammy! I'll make sure to see Shirley before I leave.
Amadeus: Well, be careful. When are you going back?
ME: I told my boys to get me if i'm not back in three days.
Amadeus: Boys? *raises eyebrow*
ME: Yes, my household has grown in size.
Amadeus: Are ya still single?
ME: Um, yes. That's why I came here.
Amadeus: Oh... Well, good luck girly!
ME: Thanks Ammy! I'll be back soon! *continues down path* Now, I've got to find Hannah here... She'll know what to do...
~and that's all for now!~ see ya!

You know the drill! K=Kitsune ME=ME
ME& K *get home from Madame Z's store*
K: So, you're really gonna go through with this?
ME: Do I have any other choices? I mean, I'd prefer to go one night without you slapping me awake.
K: Yeah... I just get tired of hearing "NO JIMMY PROTESTED!" at 11 o clock at night.
ME: I got to do what I've got to do, ya know?
K: I understand completely.
ME: Do you mind if I stay in my "happy place" for a few days?
K: No one ever really knows how long they're going to be in the spirit realm, do they?
ME: No, my happy place is a REAL place. Its out in the woods somewhere. I figured I'd go there to start my journey.
K: Are you sure that's safe?
ME: I am a vampire witch. -_- My LIFE isn't safe. I'll be fine. If I'm not back in three days, then give the tea to Adam and Gregory, they can bring me back.
K: But, the two of them aren't exactly sane right now...
ME: That's why you give them these *hands bracelets* As long as they are wearing these, then they will be sane, but it doesn't work forever.
K: How long will it work?
ME: Until they get back from the spirit realm. They can't "transform" there since time stops. the bracelets are just so they're sane enough here for you to talk to them.
K: I see...
ME: You sound like Tyler...
K: Who?
ME: A friend of a friend.
K: uh-huh.
ME: Well, I better get going.
K: Aren't you going to pack?
ME: I don't need to. I have everything I need there. *grabs broomstick* Bye Kitsune! *hugs* *gets on broom* *flies off*
~That's it for now!~

K: *slaps ME*
ME: OOOUUUCH! Gosh what did you do that for? *rubs face*
K: You were going crazy again.
K: Were you a five yeard old boy named Jimmy in this dream?
ME: No...
K: I think it's time we go see the psychic again...
ME: NOOO! You know me and Madame Zelda (MZ) dont get along!
K: Come on, *dragging ME out the house*
ME: *looks down* can i get dressed first?
K: RIGHT! sure *lets go*
~A few minutes later~
ME: *climbing out the window*
K: *on the ground* i knew you'd go out the window!
K: it was in like chapter 3 of the quiz...
ME: Oh yeah *flashback* ... *flashback over*
K: Get down from there! Gosh Madame Z is not hat bad!
ME: She's EEEEEEVVVVIIILLL! *getting dragged by Kitsune while clawing the ground*
~15 minutes later in pyschic shop~
MZ: Why hello! it's my fav customer.

MZ: *doesnt notice* What's your problem now?
K: *shakes head*
MZ: I see, well, let me read your palm.
ME: no... id rather not...
ME: *scared* OKAY! *gives palm*
MZ: *puts palm to her ear* I see... You are in love wih someone, but you don't know who it is. This... troubles you.
ME: Are you a psychic or a pyschologist?
MZ: Eh, both.
ME: Okay then. Yes. It does... plague me.
~5 minutes later~
ME: *in tears* I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! *sobs* It all just seems wrong! waaaaaah! *sobs*
MZ: *gives tissue* Now, dear, you musn't go on like this. Just think about it for awhile and choose. I can give you some herbal teas to help you get into that level plane for you to enter the spirit side, but it is up to you to get the answer from your third eye. Okay?
ME: Okay Madame Z. Thank you. *blows nose*
MZ: *hugs ME* Good luck my child!

An animal study conducted at Australia's Queensland Institute of Medical Research found that alcohol exposure during pregnancy can cause permanent genetic changes in fetuses, the Australian Associated Press reported Jan. 15.
Researchers fed mice either water or alcohol during early pregnancy and found that those given alcohol had twice as many dark-furred offspring than the water group. Skull malformations and decreased body weight also were observed, similar to the symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) among humans.
Lead author Suyinn Chong said the research could aid in development of a DNA test to screen children for FAS. "So what we hope is that if we can screen the children, identify these epigenetic changes which might be markers of future educational or social problems, we could basically aid diagnosis and allow early intervention," Chong said.
The study was published in the journal PLoS Genetics.

Report: Christian Westerman planning transfer to ASU
According to a report from ASUDevils.com, Auburn offensive lineman Christian Westerman plans to transfer to Arizona State.
Westerman, a product of Hamilton High School in Chandler, chose Auburn after a heavy recruitment from schools like Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and Florida.
The 6-foot-5, 298-pounder redshirted in 2011, and played sparingly this season, appearing in three games and starting one. He had been bothered by an ankle injury as well.
Westerman was rated the third-best offensive tackle prospect in the nation out of high school by Rivals.com and second by ESPN.
The ASUDevils.com report states that as of Thursday morning, ASU has not received a scholarship release for Westerman from Auburn.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Don't forget about rookie C.J. McCollum, who helps give Portland's backcourt group a whole lot of upside. Lillard is forecast to regress just a little, if only because he'd be hard-pressed to lead the league in minutes once again, especially given the depth around him in the backcourt. The one concern about this group's fit is whether the proven combo guard skills of Williams are redundant to the potential combo guard skills of McCollum, thus limiting the first-year playing time of the latter.
Hate to sound like a homer, but Portland's backcourt should be listed ahead of Dallas, Denver, Minnesota, and possibly even the Lakers (depending on Kobe's health and Nash's production). Also, Clips at 4 is really low.
Wes's heart and pure love of the game, and Damian's ability, they should be either 6th or 7th in the LEague.
I have a lot of issues with this list. Clips at #4 despite having the best PG in the game, yet Houston is #1 (Lin was pretty awful last year). Golden State and Brooklyn missing the top 10??? (Name a better young backcourt than Curry and Thompson). I know it's going by WARP - but sometimes stats don't paint the whole picture. The fact that Dallas is top-10 but Golden State isn't just shows the problems with it.
Brett: I think the issue with Golden State is the considerable dropoff after Curry and Thompson, though Brooklyn seems like a real weird omission.
What happens if Blazers go big and play Batum at 2 for stretches. He can defend the 2 and his all around game has elevated. Lill, Nic backed by Mo and Wes. Where is the drop off ? Wild card CJ. Problems there for the opposition.
casey HELP - don't know what happened
