http://www.dailynews.com/sports/2014032 ... work-ethic
Great article. Thx for posting
Any time brother .
I love articles like this. Great post. I really love Blake's work ethic. He works really hard man.Probably why he didn't look too impressed when they told him about CP getting some shots up after the GSW game because Blake probably does that everytime.
this is nothing new to us. did you guys see the video of him workout at the sand dunes?
very proud of BG32.
Seems that as of late there are many positive things coming out about Blake. People that have been blinded by their own ignorance regarding him,just spewing out garbage. But now that they have actually taken time to see him play,they finally get what we have all known for a while. Great to see people finally see him for what he is, our superstar.
Its his work ethic that has gotten him to where he is this year.. Only a blind homer no thinks that all he can do is dunk..
They have 5 videos comprising Blake's top 100 dunks on NBA. com right now! Just watched the top 20.......................................
But everyone in the NBA works hard. Every player has to be in tip top shape just to play. How does this teach one about work ethic? And if you work too hard, you can over train and get hurt. It's about smart, efficient work.
The point of the article is that Blake works harder than most. That's why he's just behind LeBron and Durant in the MVP race these days.
You might want to bring up your theory on "overtraining" on one of your warriors forums, since a whole bunch of their players have missed many more games than Blake over the last few seasons.
Unless your name is/was Baron Davis.
Yeah they all have to work hard guys, really guy. Coming from a closet Kobe fan that is crazy talk. I'm sure Luke Walton and Kobe worked just about the same. Why would you post anything on this thread? Does it bother you that your stars don't work as hard As our Superstars?
I wouldn't agree that everyone works hard, there's actually a good list of players who don't do much in the off-season and use training camp to get back in shape and rhythm. I don't consider that a hard working player.
There are a lot of really hard working players, then there are ones who work hard, ones who are average in work ethic and then players who do the bare minimum.
They might have worked hard to get to the NBA or get their first contract, or whatever it is, but there are guys who try me just coast on natural talent, and some are talented enough to survive on it.
I was being sarcastic Agent0, but I figure you were talking to others on here. You always hear about players coming in out of shape, and not up to par. I don't get where some people come up with their hate.
"It's natural to do as much as it takes to get where you want to be, but the question is where do you want to be?" - me.
If all they want to do is belong then they will work as hard as it takes to belong, but if they want to be the best then that will take a different workload.
The resident troll does have a point here. Most players work hard. They just don't feel a desperate need to call attention to themselves for it like Kobrick does.
BTW, troll, how's it feel knowing that the top two five-man units in the league belong to the Clippers, not your "best starting five in the league"?
Every one works hard in the NBA? Dude stephen Jackson was on the radio
saying he doesn't even workout or play basketball in the off-season.
Charles Barkley said the biggest misconception is that NBA guys are
in the gym working their ass off. He said in reality guys come to shoot
around for about 2 hours and go home.
I think the majority of guys work hard. Keeping your body in good condition helps to avoid injuries. Injuries can prevent a player from getting paid.
No, I wasn't responding to you, just didn't quote anyone, but I was responding mainly to some of the earlier posts.
Yea, I don't know how we can think everyone works out when there are guys who are constantly coming in out of shape with no injury issues causing it. When there are guys who admittedly don't work out in summer, and when players have mentioned young players who just didn't "get it" in terms of what working hard means.
Everyone goes and shoots around, but there's a difference between shooting around and doing the type of workouts a guy like Blake, Redick, and yes, even Kobe though he likes to popularize it too much, guys like Lebron, Durant, Ray Allen, Gilbert Arenas who was an over-worker, Rose, Paul, Duncan, etc, etc.
There are many guys who are at the upper echelon of hard work, but yea, it certainly isn't everyone. Some guys have enough natural ability to get by and just go on that. Some guys work and they think they are working hard until they see what another guy is dong and they realize they are only working just enough, not actually "hard" in comparison to the best.
I think Blake is becoming what Zach Randolph is/was. I think he gets under players skins. And he is physical - more than he gets credit for. That Is why he is involved in so many "fights" because people are frustrated

Still, I think it's quite beneficial to conjure up a nice Pantone-bright look every now and then. If you can make bright shadows flattering for your eye shape, you can pretty much do any less-bright look and pull it off easily. It's all about the right shape and blending, blending, blending! ;)

For this look I was inspired by the amazing packaging from the MAC Turquatic perfume collection. Check out these promotional images. Gorrrrrrgeous, right?
So for my particular almond-shaped eyes, since they aren't super huge and I don't have a defined crease or eye socket, I didn't want to bring the color super high up on my lid. When I do that I tend to look a bit like I got punched in the eye. I just bring it gently above my lash line which makes the look a lot more wearable.
For those who are wanting to recreate this look, my biggest tips are these:
1 - Eyeshadow primer is key! It helps colors to stick to your eyes and not crease
2 - The white base really makes shadows pop, especially yellow
3 - Start with a little and add bit by bit
4 - Check the overall shadow shape with your eyes open as you go
Like I said before, if you can get your own "perfect" shape with bright colors, it's much easier to tone the same shape back to neutrals and have it look very flattering. Feel free to try out this look with other colors as well!
I hope you enjoyed watching and let me know if you enjoyed seeing a bright, colorful look. Should I do more of these dramatic eyes? I know they are less wearable but it's really fun to do. Let me know in the comments! ^_~

Liz Owen needed help, and she needed it fast.
She had rescheduled a flight from Washington to Los Angeles on Virgin America to avoid Superstorm Sandy, which was about to slam into the East Coast. But she�d forgotten to order a wheelchair.
Owen, who works for a nonprofit organization in Washington, had recently broken her foot, which was in a cast.
�I had been on the phone on hold with Virgin America for well over an hour,� she said.
Halfway to the airport, she decided to send Virgin America a tweet � a message on the microblogging service Twitter.
Within minutes, an airline representative messaged her back, offering to help. When she pulled up to the curb, a Virgin America representative greeted her. �Are you @LizOwenLA?� he asked, referring to her Twitter handle. He offered her a seat in a waiting wheelchair, which he�d borrowed from another airline.
When it comes to customer service, no one likes to wait. And new Internet-based technologies that some travel companies are embracing promise an almost instant response, such as the one Owen got. If you carry a smartphone, these tools can lead to a better travel experience � if you know how to use them.
Not every company offers this shortcut to a quicker resolution, and even those with a sophisticated social-media presence don�t respond as quickly as Virgin reacted to Owen. In that sense, it�s very much like any offline transaction: It matters who you are.
But instead of presenting your elite frequent-flier memberships for preferred treatment, you need to show that you understand the rules of social media.
Among air carriers, Southwest Airlines and Virgin America have reputations for lightning-fast response to customer-service problems noted online.
A recent survey by the social media analytics firm Socialbakers found that as an industry, airlines were the second-fastest to reply to customers on sites such as Facebook, with an average response time of 188 minutes. (Telecommunications companies were faster.) Some carriers, such as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, were significantly faster, replying to customers in less than half an hour.
But simply sending a tweet or posting to a company�s Facebook page isn�t always enough to get you noticed.
�A lot of travel brands want to help,� Twitter spokeswoman Rachael Horwitz said. �But you have to look like a real customer.�
For starters, you need an account on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter � the three major social-media sites � to capture a travel company�s attention. But that doesn�t guarantee that a company will reply, Horwitz says.
On Twitter, for example, your account comes with a default avatar that looks like an egg. Simply uploading a photo and adding some profile information will set you apart from spammers and ensure that a company knows you�re a real person.
That doesn�t necessarily mean that you�ll get a speedy response. Just as elite-level frequent fliers get preferred treatment, so also do users who have the greatest social clout. Travel companies eye your social-media profile, looking for engagement (how active you are online) and the number of your �friends� or �followers.� It�s possible to instantly measure how important a user is by checking his or her score on Klout, a website that measures people�s new-media credibility.
As it turns out, Owen�s Twitter profile displayed her photo and suggested that she spent a fair amount of time communicating with other users. Owen also had a previous relationship with Virgin America: Two years ago, she�d been a passenger on a transcontinental flight that made an emergency landing in Chicago. In that case, as well, Twitter was instrumental in getting her concerns, and those of other customers, addressed. In the offline world, you might say that Owen and Virgin America were pen pals.
Virgin America�s social media guest relations manager, Tony Amrich, happened to see Owen�s plea for help on the day she was flying to Los Angeles. He phoned the airline�s ticket counter at Dulles International Airport, ensuring that she had a wheelchair.
As social media have evolved, so have Virgin America�s methods of communicating with passengers, Amrich says. Today, the airline is �transitioning� from talking by phone and email to communicating via Twitter and Facebook. That allows the company to resolve a problem faster and often better.
�Instead of potentially apologizing for a missed opportunity, I�m right there with the guest, working on solutions � or just saying, �Love you back,�� he said.
Sites like Twitter are evolving, too. Its latest user experience places a heavier emphasis on images, so now, instead of just telling a company about a service problem, you also can show it to them (and to all your friends who happen to be watching).
Social media could change customer service, not just in the travel industry but for any business. I�ve used Twitter to help advise consumers with problems in real time, and I never use it more than during the holidays, when infrequent travelers need quick help.
By the way, you can find me at @elliottdotorg on Twitter, and I�m happy to answer any questions.
But I also can see this going sideways, with social media turning into nothing more than a branding opportunity with exceptions made for super-users with high Klout scores. That would be as much of a travesty as the current airline loyalty programs, which similarly segment passengers, rewarding the best customers with plush seats and gourmet food but leaving most others fighting for scraps in the main cabin.
Having a shortcut to better customer service is a powerful incentive to join one of the social-media sites before your next trip. They�re all free to use, but a word of warning: They can be addictive.
But that�s another story.

A founding father do-over
I do not own a firearm or plan on ever doing so.However, I support the 2nd Amendment and the rights to have firearms. With all of the recent controversy I have given much thought to the 2nd and its meaning. Unlike some paranoid individuals who feel that the 2nd was put in the Constitution to prevent government from invading our homes, taking our weapons, and enslaving society, I believe the Founding Fathers had a much different agenda.
After the Revolutionary War, the militia was disbanded and sent home. There was no standing army and yet there were threats to our countryborders. If a need arose that required a militia, they had only to conscript men who were already armed to form a new army. When the 2nd was written with this in mind, the writers also realized that the only weapons available were single shot, black powder and flint, metal ball muskets and pistols.
Today, imagine that the original founding fathers were tasked with writing the 2nd Amendment with the full knowledge of the history of the past 200-plus years. I will pose 3 possible scenarios.
1. Amendment stands as originally written.
2. Amendment eliminated because it isnt necessary today.
3. Amendment is rewritten allowing citizens to own hand guns, rifles, and shotguns. However all military ordinance, including firearms, ammunition, grenades, missiles, land mines, etc. are unnecessary and illegal for private citizens to own.
I believe that some variation of No. 3 would be enacted, especially when I hear the rampant paranoia of a few people that advocate having these weapons. It is scary, but fortunately those very bright Founding Fathers who got it right would surely get it right again to fit the current times.

Thanks Digi Key for archiving this session.
Thank you Jack.
Thanks Jack.
Jack very well explained, Thanks.
Very Good
I'm listening now to prepare for the Real Time Kernels class that starts today.
Great lecture with well explained concepts.
Good slides and very informative lecture. Thank you Sir Jack.
thanks for a great presentation sir jack, i will be back for day 4 class to finish the class session for 1 week...thanks regards to digikey and design news for education us...
goodnight & good morning to all of you in this class archived...bye!
class presentation is done and now listening with the wonderfule Q & A session...
i am now on slide 22 of the presentation slides...
i just downloaded the presentation slides for references...
good evening sir jack, i am here again for your day 3 class session...
good discussion
Thanks guys, great presentation on RTOS for the conversation afterwards too.
Thanks Jack and Alex. Lots of informations.
Thank you Jack!
Lots of information from many angles
Hi from OR.
great overview! thanks
Thank you Jack and Alex for another great discussion.
Again? Slide 25?
18, rather, not 19.
Good catch Alex, though it sounds like Jack was still talking about slide 19.
Good presentation may watch again.
Great overview. Thank you!
Excellent overview. Wish I could have watched live.
Good presentation and good Q & A by the group and presenter. It seems they first want you to write code, then they want you to debug it - what is task partitioning for then? Also, now they are saying that LOC is not necessarily linked to productivity? :)
For the first time, an archived presentation just completely cut out right around one minute and 45 seconds. Refresh fixed it though.
Hello everyone.
Another great presentation, Jack. Thanks!
A GUI would be a good example of a code package to get from a vendor, true?
Would an RTOS be the chice to use for an electro-mechanicle servomanipulator?
Is the FORTH language still a viable option for an RTOS?
Great series! Thanks!!!
Thanks for the presentation.
the object oriented programming languages are good but using C in an RTOS is greatly more versitile.
C programming is still alive and well and will not be outdated any time soon.
Hardware and software developers have to work together to find a Ucontroller to suit the needs of the design. I've developed both ways and its always hard to go back and correct the other.
I've used Micro C for RTOS and it works well. It has alot of the things they need and is easy to get up and running.
Good to know. Thanks.
Awesome lecture!
Nice presentation. Thanks Jack!
I looked up the price on the MicroC stuff. Wow, spendy if you're a small shop doing a simple product.
and of course http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroC/OS-II also supports Cortex. Jack mentions them several times in his lectures.
Nucleus OS also supports Cortex. Heard good things about them.
Salvos works with Cortex: Salvo
Here's a list of RTOSs on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_real-time_operating_systems
This was interesting. Thank you Jack. I saw you back at the embedded sys con in 2006. Very interesting.
Thanks Jack - good presentation.
Which RTOSes can be recommended for processors like ARM Cortex M3/M4?
Luizcosta, you and your capslock key... XD
Liked the pro/con on "roll your own." You have an app to write. Do you *really* want to design and debug your own RTOS while writing that app? Don't reinvent the wheel. Save yourself a huge amount of time and purchase an RTOS with good tech support.
Thanks, Jack!
Gotta run, folks. Thanks for the great qustions!
Jack, do you know if there is any preference in the Northeast for one RTOS over another? I'm trying to figure out what is locally relevant in RTOSes.
No, I haven't seen any regional preferences.
Jack, do you know if there is any preference in the Northeast for one RTOS over another? I'm trying to figure out what is locally relevant in RTOSes.
oh, well, back to the grindstone for another 2 hours. Thanks everybody!
that's why my toothbrush runs on my right hand, not on battery :-)
Jack, are there any viable alternatives to the C Standard Library for embedded work? Legacy mistakes like "printf" abound...
The problem is that the library tends to be very compiler-dependent, and so is supplied by the compiler vendor. There are a few minor replacements, like the SMX GoFast floating point library I mentioned yesterday.
security in embedded systems ... I imagine that is a very different beast than on "normal" computers
I think this is a hugely-ignored issue. Heck, if your USB toothbrush got infected it could pass that around.
@caa028: makes sense, I didn't think of that.
Comment about selecting an RTOS. If you let the h/w guys pick the ucontroller, you could get stuck trying to find an RTOS that will fit. That's how I ended up using Salvo because uC just would not fit. Turn the process around. Pick the RTOS/IDE that best suits your application, then tell the h/w guys to find you a ucontroller that meets the firmware requirements.
Absoultey agreed. The h/w and s/w people need to work together to pick a CPU. Seldom happens, though.
@ s.schmiedl - the reason could be that you want to reuse a large project... etc...
> The former requries more CPU horsepower. I think all hypervisors are for 32 bit CPUs.
that's kind of my point: why would I want to use that when I could have it in another way?
Oh, well, a lot of systems are on 32 anyway. And a huge upside for hypervisors is the security they can bring along. Again, Green Hills is the leader in this.
QNX was wrtten in C and as far as I know it still is develop in such language.

Jack, thank you for one more very informative lecture!
Jack, I believe that FreeRTOS is written in C for portability.
Yes, it is. Nearly all are.
if i have a task that takes longer than the basic time tick and must be completed before another task runs do i lengthen the tick or is there a mechanism in the rtos to do that?
You can dynamically raise the priority, and lower it when done.
Jack, I've taking some trainint at QNX, but they are indeed expensive and the courses go way too fast. I meant YOUR OWN TRAINING or WEBINAR.
Sorry, no. Not enough hours in the day!
It might be better to use a chip that is too small for C Plus Plus in those classes, so students understand the need to limit themselves. ;)
let me approach it from another angle: virtualization vs. decomposition to AMP?
The former requries more CPU horsepower. I think all hypervisors are for 32 bit CPUs.
Jack, I've taking some trainint at QNX, but they are indeed expensive and the courses go way too fast. I meant YOUR OWN TRAINING or WEBINAR.
My RTOS students frequently ask " why not C+ if we are using QNX Momentics anyway"? What is your answer?
I should have been clearer. A lot of people use C with RTOSes. But no RTOS I know of is written in C .
luizcosta, no issue, so long as C Plus Plus fits in your requirements. However, you should make the point that your students SHOULD get used to C, for embedded requirements that need it.
thanks Jack..
What database do you recommend for a RTOS?
I don't have any to recommend. Embedded databases have been pushed by a couple of companies. To my knowledge all have gone bust.
laxman, the more important question is whether that thread can be preempted or not. A thread can take more than one tick, IF it is safe to preempt it. Otherwise, extend the tick.
Jack, do you have another RTOS training to recommend?
I think Netrino does some, but it's not free. Sometimes there's some at the Embedded Systems Conference (now called "Design").
if i have a task that takes longer than the basic time tick and must be completed before another task runs do i lengthen the tick or is there a mechanism in the rtos to do that?
@s.schmiedl - large scale embedded vs small scale...
somehow I have a cognitive problem with "embedded" and "virtualization". Am I the only one?
Ah, but this field is so big it's hard to even define "embedded." Some really big systems are embedded. But I know what you mean!
schmiedl, RTOSes are very small. :)
When using something like FreeRTOS, how do you program in it. Do you use C like on the PIC32?
Yes, it's all in C.
kenward, do the world a favor, and edit the Wikipedia page on Salvo. :)
I was about to ask the same question about virtualization options for embedded...Thank you, Jack - I'll have to look closer at Green Hills hypervisor
Jack, I hear a lot about virtualization from you. What is available to run virtualization in the embedded world?
Green Hills has a hypervisor for embedded work.
kenward, while it is not a personal priority, we have LOTS of biotech companies in the Northeast. It's good to know. :)
a resistor in series with signal if signal is not terminated will limit current to ic and protect diodes from over current
kenstan: you say you have a relay. Be sure that you have a reverse diode accross the coils or a zener or other snubber to stop the spikes where they are generated; kill noise as quick as possible at the source and at all I/O line.
Salvo is a cooperative RTOS. $1200 gets you the source, tech support, no per-unit royalties. The FDA will sign off on it as well, unlike many other RTOS's. If you're not doing a med device then maybe you don't care about the FDA...
Jack, the C Standard Library was never really built to be Hard Real-Time. Things like "printf", for instance, are a disaster. Is there an alternative for Hard Real-Time systems?
A diode from signal lines to supplies helps save ICs from spikes
Just make sure it's aimed the right way!
Oh, Jack, for future presentations, you should talk more about coroutines.
Good point. Z-Wold's Dynamic C has built-in coroutine support.
Great presentation Jack. I now have plenty of resources to round up.
kenstan your spike is probably not just on the signal line but maybe pwr and ground (at opto)
how can i prevent spike from affecting my mcu even after using optocoulper
That's a huge subject! There are a million ways a spike can affect an MCU.
kenward, is Salvo coroutine based?
The goal of an RTOS is to do its job very efficiently. Naturally, different RTOSes do this job better than others.
How about dual boot embedded system where two options are "normal" and "extra debugs"?
Sure, makes sense if the system is resource-constrained. A lot of people just leave a debug monitor in the code all the time.
For an implanted class 2 med device, I used a PIC18F45J10 (32k of flash, 1k of ram). Using Salvo required 4k of flash and 254 bytes of ram, to run 13 tasks. Note that Salvo is not pre-emptive, but it is deterministic. No RMA hand-waving.
Thanks for the informative presentation, Jack.
Thank you Jack
Nothing was ever mentioned about the TIME overhead eaten by RTOS. And time eats power most of the time. Can you expand on this?
Sure. An RTOS will eat time. But very, very little. Context switches can be on the order of a handful of microseconds, depending on CPU, clock, etc.
The FreeRTOS manual is good for people like me with no experience with RTOS. It starts out discussing Scheduling strategies and explains why some things work and others don't. It also discusses priorities.
Jack, any experience with Earliest Deadline First scheduling?
Lately there's been a lot of talk about EDF. I have yet to see a system that uses it, though.
TT: you made me read "Easter Deadline First" scheduling ...
is there specialised Mcu for driving Dc motor , i used atmel 89c52 but it hangs few seconds the motor ic connected to the bidirectional relay driver
Sorry, I really don't know. I have seen some CPUs with motor drivers, but can't think of their names off-hand.
thank you Jack for a great presentation
where can I learn about scheduling strategies?
Wikipedia has good references on this.
Does it make sense to dual boot an embedded system with RTOSes?
I guess if there's a good reason to, though I can't think of any. Today instead of dual boot more people are thinking in terms of virtualization to run multiple OSes.

thnak you!
Just to understand further if an RTOS is managing an AMP, how will it save stack for one core and run it on the other one if the architecture does not match eg register set etc?
Like I said, you'll be running a copy of the RTOS on all of the cores. The implementation will vary between RTOSes. Best resources on this are QNX and Green Hills' Integrity.
thanks, jack21, that's a memory range I can handle .-)
I'm sure that depends on the RTOS, krana.
Just to understand further if an RTOS is managing an AMP, how will it save stack for one core and run it on the other one if the architecture does not match eg register set etc?
What's the size of the smallest RTOS (firmware, not source code), you've used?How much RAM does one actually need to use an RTOS to handle, say, half a dozen tasks?
For a small OS like FreeRTOS you're talking probably tens of bytes of RAM per task, plus some constant overhead.
krana, the goal of RTOS development is to satisfy every possible combination of threads, periodic or not. The relevant issue is the extent to which a given RTOS achieves that goal.
What is the difference between mutex and binary semaphore?
Essentially the same thing. Neither can count.
Can one RTOS manage AMP (Asymmetric Multi Processing) or do we need multiple RTOSes for this type of system?
Some RTOSes will manage several cores, though usually you're running a copy on each. Others are not SMP/AMP aware.
Jack, I have recently purchased an LPC1114 ARM cortex M0 and quite new to this. Before loading a RTOS a bootloader is required from what I understand, whats the best way to select such a bootloader or do I have to write my own?
Often the chip vendor will have code. Otherwise you'll have to write it. Or, get an eval board and use the code from that (if legal).
Some of the tools are awesome! Check out Micrium's uC/Probe.
Jack, can you say ssomething about POSIX, pthread, and successful program design. I had the impression so far, that QNX provides the programmers with the least headaches.
It's hard to speak to that, but I talk to many happy QNX users.
how to measure interrupt latency?
Lots of ways. Easieist is to scope intr-req and assert a bit when the ISR starts. Measure the difference.

Do all compilers exhlbit the execution time of each line of code?
I am using interupt/ timer hold during temperature conversion as part of specs. So there is lag in my timing and it is represented in terms of flicker on seven segment display. How can I avoid it?
Jack, can you say ssomething about POSIX, pthread, and successful program design. I had the impression so far, that QNX provides the programmers with the least headaches.
priority inversion seems to be a big thing using RTOS and there are also ways to avoid that. Buit don't you think they are just workarounds, what is better way of avoiding it?
Things like priority ceiling protocol will help a lot.
Agree - PDF slides would be perfect

Forth is not an RTOS. Forth is a language.
Jack, How good are the profiling tools for RTOS based system compared to profiling C subroutines in Non-OS based microcontroller code..
Alex, slides in PDF, please.
Forth is probably smallest footprint RTOS.
It is always a good idea to be able to get the source code for the RTOS (or as much as possible) when buying one so you can tweak things if needed
I think that is useful, but not all vendors will do that. Also important in case vendor goes out of business, though most will escrow the code for you.

Jack, do you know what RTOSes are frequently used in the Northeast?
Have used Forth, is RPN stack based.

Jack, How good are the profiling tools for RTOS based system compared to profiling C subroutines in Non-OS based microcontroller code..
Relating to the previous session: when should I consider a feature just a task in an RTOS and when it should be partitioned to another MCU?
I like to use another CPU when the problem is completely bounded and solved entirely in that CPU. Tasks are more tightly integrated into the code.
does anybody remember/have experience with any forth-based systems?
thanks for the presentation
Is it recommonded to use external interrupt when OS is introduced in the system?
Absolutely - use interrupts to have I/O signal a need for service, for instance.

Luiz, you've got Capslock on again...
Relating to the previous session: when should I consider a feature just a task in an RTOS and when it should be partitioned to another MCU?
Thanks, Jack.
Do you recommend any book(s), papers that show a good philosophy procedure to write RTOS(es), pieces of it, etc?
Can you write down the name of the books, papers, etc again please?
Thank you Jack and Alex.. Great presentation
How does android stand up as a near real time type OS
Jack, what RTOSes do you use, and what RTOSes are typically used in different parts of the country? In particular, I'd like to know what RTOSes are typically used in the Northeast!
I don't think there are any regional diffs in the USA. In Europe we see more of Enea, etc.
audio has just ended
thanks, jack :)
tks Jack
Thank you Jack and Alex.
Great Presentation.
Thanks Jack - Another great discussion
Thank You.
Thank you for the presentation
Jack, once again, Thanks!
Good intro for RTOS from Jack.. Have lot to read and understand in this topic...
Here is a fair link for RTOS selection from the Embedded Systems Glossary:
Okay thanks
Jack, what RTOSes do you use, and what RTOSes are typically used in different parts of the country? In particular, I'd like to know what RTOSes are typically used in the Northeast!
Another great class- Thanks!
no audio for a few seconds
FrankBishop, you can usually pick whatever time scale you like as a variable. Some RTOSes will have different limits than others, but the one that typically operates in the time scale you want will likely be better for your application.
FreeRTOS from the UK really is free but the manuals cost $20 and $30 US
Have a lot to learn about RTOS...Thanks
Yes Alex. That was a good point on determinism
Thank you for the presentation.
for simple round robin tasking, you should set a max runtime for each task so that others can run.
@tenacious It was more of a generic comment trying to see what kind of time is real time
to the nearest sec , milli second uMsec or what
You said during the discussion of slide 27 that the RTOS should be chosen based on the Prossor selected and the Compiler used. Doesn't it make more more sense to chose a Compiler that is optimised for the Processor selected and the RTOS?
Thank you for today's presentation
@alaskaman66: as long as possible, as short as necessary
Thank you Jack and all for a great and informative session, see you tomorrow.
Thanks Jack. Excellent presentation. WIll be here tomorrow.
do we have to write our own rtos or are there canned options of the operations options for portions of the systems???
Nuclear Power Plants = Hard Real TIme
Kind of a simple quetion: with Round Robin tasking, if the duration is user selectable, does one try to choose a duration long enough for most tasks to complete, or are these durations typically only a small percentage of the average task time?
Yes, it is interrupt latency that is critical in real-timesystems.
Being able to guarantee a certain level of performance has value to lots of application developers.
Jack, Thanks for your great presentation
Thanks Jack and Alex!
FrankBishop, it depends on what kind of communications you want. Can you be more specific? What is the application?
thanks jack and alex. great presentation
Are thier different degrees of RTOS I work in the second and millisecond realm with communications
software for communicating over USB, irDA and the network
But I measure in nanoseconds and try and work + or - 50 msec
Thanks Jack, Bruce, and Digikey for this great presentation!
Thanks Jack. Nice presentation. Is profiling easy in the context of RTOS situation compared to the Raw C code without an Operating System for Microcontroller?
Thanks, Jack - this refreshes my memory from a RTOS course I took at Wright State back in the late 80s with pdp-11 assembly language.
another great presentation, jack. thanks.
You probably would need a new kernel. :)
Absolutley great session besides the drop out :-) Thank you Jack and Alex!!
Very valuable information, thank you Jack!
thanks Jack, today presentation is so great.
Oh This is totally software-centric
Jack what is your Faivorite RTOS for Microchip MCU's ?
@Island_Al, bits toggle, works for me with a good scope
*****Slide 29****
Is there a list of what popular RTOSes are out there, and some advantages/disadvantages/costs etc?
you can use a scope to measure time by setting out bits (toggle)
*****Slide 28****
@SimonDo: there is not deadlock when it has mutex
A: Actually, mutex is what creates the possibility of deadlock. Only with a low-priority or ill-behaved task taking a mutex and never releasing it, or with two tasks that take multiple mutexes in opposite orders, can deadlock occur. Of course, without a mutex, the shared resources will get corrupted and likely the system will fail, often spectacularly
@SimonDo - perhaps I'm a little confused. If 1 task acquires the lock and never relinquishes it, how will other tasks be able to access the resource?
is there a good resource out there on scheduling strategies for (RT)OSes?
Jack, change that slide! It looks like "Eleven is greater than Twelve"!
*****Slide 27****
Jack, what about Earliest Deadline First?
*****Slide 26****
does mutex have a way of "timing out" the handling of a task if it "sees" a problem?
*****Slide 25****
*****Slide 24****
How to interrupt kernel? Will ASSEMBLY on porcessor operant do?
My way to handle real time reliably is to put the time critical tasks on a separate micro dedicated for the tasks, could also be a multicore.
I meant mutex will take care of deadlock situation.
*****Slide 23****
there is not deadlock when it has mutex.
Can Jack address "deadlock"?
As things stand, if you want a piece of hardware designed for Hard Real-Time needs, you have to settle for a consumer chip that was targeted to general purpose devices, which receive little development priority for Hard Real-Time needs, because the chip companies want to target the general market.
@jrjohns - yep. it's called a deadlock
*****Slide 22****
*****Slide 21****
Can use of a Mutex result in lockup if one task keeps the token (semiphore)?
My main beef is this... as was noted yesterday, developments like Cache make Hard Real-Time performance incredibly complicated. If desktop computing hardware had to satisfy Hard Real-Time needs from the ground up, Commercial Off-The-Shelf hardware would be better designed for Hard Real-Time needs, because everyone wants their desktop to go faster.
*****Slide 20****
Got it. Thanks
*****Slide 19****
yes, it's back
slide 18. audio should be fine
Slide 18
is the audio back?
Let's put it this way, Bruce McLaren... I strongly suspect that Real-Time physics simulations would benefit from a Hard Real-Time OS. I'm sure Video Game developers would appreciate some determinism as well, once they get used to the idea.
slide 17
@TenTech: I admit I'm out of my core expertice, so correct me if I'm talking non-sense. Can desktop OS be made real time without undue effort (undue effort a term I am unable to define)? Is it needed, or just a nice feature to have?
Or pick an RTOS that fits your needs and pick an MCU that it already runs on. :-)
LeoVargas, that can often be the best alternative, because it tells you what is used locally... look for the more popular classes, and you will get an idea on what is most locally relevant. :)
@FrankBishop - glad to help :) I just went through an RTOS search in the last few weeks
these sugesstions are flowing in at high speed
Good thing I can read through the transcript in the weeks ahead
Intel bought VXWorks/WindRiver
Determine your needs, pick an MCU, and see what RTOS(s) are available for it.
thanks Tenacious
windoze dun it
Thanks wikipedia is a great resource
some examples of rtos are traffic control systems, and ncads..
Wind River's long-standing RTOS is called VXWorks... I used it in the 90s, it's still around.
is bootloader needed in say atem 8952 microcontroller
Has this has been an example of Running -> Pending -> Ready?
Yes, and what would be of hardware if no software existed?
And these other ones mentioned
@FrankBishop - wikipedia actually has a pretty good list of RTOSs. Not totally exhaustive, but a good starting point if you're looking for some to look into.
Leovargas, try your local IEEE. They often have useful industry related classes, particularly in the Northeast.
I was really curious about FreeRTOS... it seems to be a very popular choice
FrankBishop: I'm always creating custom RTOS, but I've learned alot from uC/OS code
Ill check out the wind river thanks
RTOS memory/resources footprint determines MCU size. Usually need at least 1MB memory. 1/2MB RAM, 1/2MB ROM(or Flash). As long as MCU can handle that and have enough timers for RTOS tick, you are good to go.
I've used TinyOS, QNX, VXWorks although there are alot of options depending on your patform
insert jeopardy theme here
I agree Bruce.
Wind River makes RTOSs
Tenacious, where other places do you know where i can find useful classes like this one?
Hi Jack and Alex! I also had problems of my own, getting stranded on the road.
alex: is "enviable" a task state ;^)
Yup... live radio hazards stay the same.
"not an enviable task" ... funny!
Can anyone mention some examples of RTOS they have used
@kenstan - it's a piece of code that runs at startup and loads the OS
completely gone now
Jack where are you
I would dispute that, Bruce... Desktop Computers are meant to be generalized computing platforms. As they stand, they are insufficiently generalized for my purposes. That being said, it should be noted that, if Hard Real-Time issues aren't going to be tackled by the desktop community, then COTS computing hardware is going to continue to diverge from Hard Real-Time needs.
I can hear it now
it did drop out a few seconds
didi the audio drop out
sound off
what is bootloader
Anyway, Hard Real-Time versions of LInux tend to break compatibility with typical Linux software, so there is virtually no compatibility benefit to using a Hard Real-Time version of Linux over something else, for Hard Real-Time applications. That being said, I've heard Xenomai is very good for a Hard Real-Time Linux.
Related to my earlier question: what is the "smallest" MCU, where you'd attempt to run a RTOS on?
Sounds liek agreat idea, but also sounds like a way to get desktop OSes that don't do what they need to.
More complex requirements always worry me.
Unless, you have a good way to make it easy, of course.
Sure... Always have a bootloader.
Do RTOSes also require bootloaders?
Why is that, Bruce?
Among the different RTOS available is there a way we can decide which one is the most suitable for a particular application ?
@jl - also there is a so called "Priority Inversion" to give CPU time for tasks with lower priority
@TenTech: You better smile when you say that! :-)
What we really need is for Desktop OSes to become Hard Real-Time. :)
Has its uses but I want my own.
i believe QNX is real time
Linux = village bicycle
if linux sucks, which one is better?
The kernal has always be tightly controlled
Does the kernel require all that memory
To many flavours of linux to choose from
Interrupt latency in Unix is horrid.
jl - yes, most RTOSs have functions which will cause the task to wait for some period of time. However, if you find yourself using it, think carefully about your design. It might make sense to break the operation up into multiple tasks.
download todays slide deck
linux is like mutt ... it sucks less :-)
Linux is great for what it does, but it SUCKS for Hard Real Time!
be sure to download Today's Slide Deck
Butler, try reloading the page, and if that doesn't work, try a different browser.
jl priorities can be used for this. Sometimes theer's a yield() type of operation.
I don't see anything, I don't hear anything. No error messages. How do I access this lecture?
Whats the best RTOS with alot of free library support for this stuff
do most RTOS systems have a function that releases processing so that other tasks can get some time slice. this would be used in a longer running task
Thanks, Dan Lafleur and Techhunter. :)
what code sizes are RTOSes? min? typical?
slide numbers are good
the audio is much better today, thanks Jack and Alex
sound is ok now after refreshing
your slides are onee number off.you are on slide 6
slide three has nothing. you are on slide 5
@franchzilla, possibly GUI for operator interface to device
franchzilla, an RTOS is not an alternative to Linux or iOS. An RTOS is a requirements driven thing; if you REQUIRE Hard Real-Time performance, then you use an RTOS. If Soft Real-Time performance is "kind of nice" for your application, you use something more common, like Linux, or whatever operating system runs on your device.
I had tried reloading. But still it is barely audible
It works fine
Audio works here.
is there another places like this one to keep learning, has been very useful :)
Is the GUI really important for embedded systems?
yes, its working now.
Audio is just fine for me with my volume set at only 17%
ok, is loud and clear now.
Hi folks, having problems with the audio but now it is working :)
There is problem with audio. Why is it so feebe?
reload page.
jack needs to turn up his microphone. I can only just barely hear him
somewhat low audio level
Just got back from a meeting- hope I haven't misssed too much...
mine was saying blog talk radio too. I just logged out and back in and it started working.
@danlafleur. Thanks! Refresh helped.
Hello folks!
Can the audio be reset? It is in a loop!
I think that voice is saying, "Blog Talk Radio", not "Block Talk Radio"
It works fine for me
Audio is feeble at max vol setting, please
Good Afternon all.
tye refresh, my sound looped as well
Ready to roll!
my computer keeps saying 'block talk radio! is it just me?
hello everyone...
hi Jack21
cool just got here on time using playbook...
audio starting now
sound good but repeat the title continuously
Roll my own - lots of interrupts, some timer-based, some async events
I prefer self-shoveling snow
QNX, eCos, custom RTOS, and no RTOS
In our current project, we're using Linux. I asked "why not RTOS" and the answer was just a plain "it's free and people here are used to Linux".
FreeRTOS is a scheduler
Most of the time a state machine.
i want to see snow....cal. dreaming
most of my things are real time measurements
Hi folks! Laxman - I'm near you, in Finksburg, MD
Hi everyone
State machine for my work.
Chilly morning in Honolulu, 72F.
hi all,
Just a reminder... today is change your password day :) Try changing your passwords to make your online life safer
All I know is, here in New England, my father's new ski goggles are going to waste... there hasn't been any snow worthy of note!
Question: Since today's session is about RTOS, what are most of the participants using? An RTOS or a simple scheduler / state machine?
For future reference, -40 is exactly the same in Celsius and Farenheit, not -70. :)
We could use a little cold (and snow) here in NJ as well. But strictly in the hills and not on the highways/driveways. Or am I asking for too much :)
Hi all, 65 in Baltimore, md
"burying their fuel tanks and lines with snow to bring the fuel temp up a little." Now that's funny. I guess the Inuit's knew weather better than the new emigrants.
Hey too... Yeah, enjoying a mild winter here, too!
Hi All
here in California is "pretty" cold too, 44ºF...
hi all --- winter heatwave in the 50's (today only) in the midwest, tomorrow back to 30's
wood is OK, you get warm twice, once when chopping, second when burning ;-)
Hi everybody!
Hey, you got summer down there!
I'm glad that the weather is warmly enjoyable even in southern Brazil.
#1 and kerosene gells at about -60. So the residents of Alakaket and Huslia were going back to using wood stoves and burying their fuel tanks and lines with snow to bring the fuel temp up a little.
sounds like the movie "day after tomorrow"
@Alaskaman66: My diesel truck here in New Mexico won't start below 0F. Kerosene is a little better but diesel turns to jelly at those temperatures.
These temps were in Farenheit, and that's actual temperature, not wind chill.
@Alaskaman66: Send some of it our way (Philadelphia). It's unseasonably hot here; we could use a couple of snow days!
Hello everybody.
The two temp graphs cross at -40. So -40 Celsius = -40 Farenheit
wow, forget about the groundhogs being out tomorrow! -70!!! doesn't even matter C or F!
@Alaskaman66: at some point asking if you mean C or F doesn't amtter. It's just plain cold. :-)
Good morning, all. FYI: some towns along the Yikon saw temperatures to -70 this week. All the kerosene stoves quit working
ready for another great session today.
Good afternon everyone

One of the key sources in finding the location of the bridge where the accident that nearly cost Thomas KINGHORN his life took place has been a book called The Manchester and Glasgow Road: Vol 2 by Charles George Harper. Published by Chapman & Hall Ltd, London in 1907 it is now available for download on Internet Archive.
Chapter 34 of the book describes the road leading up to the bridge, albeit from the opposite direction from which the mail coach was travelling on that fateful night:
The old Glasgow road, that goes up from Moffat past Meikleholmside, and so across Ericstane Muir, is everything a road should not be. It is steep, narrow, exposed, and rugged, and, except as an object-lesson in what our ancestors had to put up with, is a very undesirable route and one in which no one would wish to find himself. It has not even the merit of being picturesque.
Further along the road things did improve, apparently due to the efforts of Thomas Telford:
The road that Telford made continues onward from Beattock in more suave fashion. It follows the glen of Evan Water for nine miles, and the three of them-road, river, and Caledonian Railway-go amicably side by side under the hills, to Beattock Summit and down to Elvanfoot, where the Elvanfoot Inn of other days now stands as a shooting-lodge.
Finally the author describes the bridge where the accident happened:
Elvanfoot Bridge, that carries the road over the Evan (i.e. Avon) Water, looks down upon a pretty scene of rushing stream, boulders, and ferns, or "furruns," as a Scotsman would enunciate the word.
It all sound quite picturesque and the author even includes a sketch of the scene:
Of course if you have read my earlier blog posts (like this one) you will know that on the night of the 25th October 1808 the bridge gave way and sent the mail coach, passengers, driver, guard and horses plummeting into the swollen river below.
The author describes the incident in some detail, although it is not clear where he got his information from, or whether it can be relied on, although the facts do pretty much tie-up with the newspaper reports. This uncertainty is a shame because the book provides an excellent piece of evidence for the exact location of the bridge:
For many years the bridge was not properly mended, funds being scarce on these roads; and the mail, slowing for it, lost five minutes on every journey. The part that fell may still be traced by the shorter lime stalactites hanging from the repaired arch. It is still known as "Broken Bridge," in addition to "Milestone Brig," from the milestone on it, marking the midway distance between Carlisle and Glasgow: "Carlisle 47 1/2 miles. Glasgow 47 miles."
That milestone would be the key to finding the location of the bridge, in the days before detailed Ordnance Survey maps and long before GPS it is a fixed point on a certain route (the road between Glasgow and Carlisle) and even if it wasn't there now it would probably be shown on earlier maps. If all else failed I could resort to tracing the route on a map and measuring the distance.

COLORADO SPRINGS (AP) � An American special forces member died in a raid that rescued a Colorado Springs doctor from Afghan insurgents.
The Pentagon said Sunday evening that a special operations raid freed Dr. Dilip Joseph from Taliban captors. Joseph was working in Afghanistan for Colorado Springs charity Morning Star Development.
�The special operators who conducted this raid knew they were putting their lives on the line to free a fellow American from the enemy�s grip,� Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in a statement. �They put the safety of another American ahead of their own, as so many of our brave warriors do every day and every night.�
Morning Star Development, a 10-year-old Colorado Springs faith-based charity focused on Afghanistan, confirmed on its website that the rescued doctor, Dilip Joseph of Colorado Springs, was among three of the charity�s workers kidnapped Wednesday in Kabul.
The other two staff members were freed after negotiations. Joseph, Morning Star�s medical adviser, was rescued by American and Afghan troops, the military said in a news release.
�Today�s mission exemplifies our unwavering commitment to defeating the Taliban,� Marine Gen. John R. Allen, who commands American troops in Afghanistan said in a statement. �I�m proud of the American and Afghan forces that planned, rehearsed and successfully conducted this operation.�
The Springs nonprofit said it didn�t pay ransom or reach other concessions to secure the release of two workers or to gain safety for Joseph.
Morning Star said the three were driving in eastern Kabul Province when they were stopped by armed men. They were captured and taken to a mountainous region 50 miles from the Pakistan border, the charity said.
�Contact between the hostages, their captors and Morning Star�s crisis-management team (operating from Kabul and Colorado Springs) began almost immediately and continued in an on-again, off-again pattern until early Saturday evening (Afghanistan time),� the charity said on its website.
After two Morning Star hostages were released, the military moved in and freed Joseph, a physician who works on Morning Star�s medical outreach projects in Afghanistan.
�He was then taken to Bagram Airfield north of Kabul,� Morning Star said. �Although he was reported to be in good condition and uninjured during the rescue, he will receive precautionary examinations and debriefing before returning to his Colorado Springs home, probably within a few days. His family was notified of his safe rescue very shortly after he was freed.�
The military said troops were called in when it appeared Joseph�s captors might kill him.
�Allen ordered the mission when intelligence showed that Joseph was in imminent danger of injury or death,� the NATO command in Afghanistan said in a news release.
Morning Star has a small presence in Colorado Springs, where its headquarters had seven employees in 2011. It is one of the lower-profile faith-based organizations in the city.
But the small charity founded by Daniel Batchelder of Colorado Springs has a huge effect overseas.
In 2009 alone, the charity, which operations on an annual budget of about $1 million, served an estimated 38,000 patients in Afghanistan.
A three-year-veteran of Morning Star, Joseph frequently traveled to Afghanistan to oversee the charity�s work.
�Morning Star Development is grateful beyond words for the assistance and support of many people and organizations during this event,� the charity said. �Due to security concerns, some cannot be named, but their help will never be forgotten. Among these who cannot be named we include all of the courageous members of the U.S. military who successfully rescued Mr. Joseph as they risked their own lives doing so.�

I'm anxious to see Granger play with this team. Oh and a win is definitely good.
Revenge game.
I don't know why, but I really get the feeling the Granger is going to put up some very decent numbers for us. Just that starting and new scenery aspect. Plus he claims to be healthy now. I am not really one to be to optimistic about a player coming back from injury and aging, but just something tells me he is going to be awesome for us. Lets up i am right!
"Doc Rivers says Danny Granger 'ideally' would be a starter, but he has to mark him as active first"
~via ProBasketballTalk
Could this suggest that Granger could possibly start for the Clippers vs Suns game? I wouldn't care either way, as long as we get to see DG get some action on the court! But, I say start em' if he is performing well in practice.
I hope Clippers really clamp down on their defense like they did the last game. The Suns are a surprisingly good offensive team, but Clippers can definitely win this.
Looking forward to seeing Danny Granger play! I hope he plays well.
Blazers lose to Fakers, so we're the #3 seed.
Lets get this win against the Suns now
Big Brother helped us out! LOL
Not 3rd seed yet what_up. close though.
I am really excited to see this game. Hope the guys show up defensively.
@clipperandrew yea nevermind I just checked the standings, we are still 1/2 game behind portland, we almost there though
Reading that, it sounds like the opposite actually. I get the "active" joke that he made, but it
sounds more like Doc is just saying, patience Granger, you most likely could be starting soon, but not right now.
Amazing the Lakers jacking our style with the lob play. Very happy they won gives us a fall back if something goes wrong tomorrow.
Tomorrows game gains even more importance with Suns looking to jump up some as well.
Every game is of importance at this point of the season, but I see where you are coming from.
Another big game tomorrow and we can't take the lakers for granted either -
They seem to be hotter now
I feel you on that. Suns play consistently Hard, and they have allot of good players, I may have underestimated their team as well, but Looking at their roster, there's really not any holes, they're all rather good. I wonder if E-Bled will be playing in the game, I hear he could be back any day know. As for Thursday, if they want to play fast I see no reason to worry about them. But I got's to thank them for helping us today!!!. Aldridge shrivels down the stretch once again.
I'm really excited to finally watch Granger play, for real this time. Let's hope Doc remembers to circle Granger's name.
I am glad the Lakers one , but we also have to play them Thursday and they will come in with the hot head since they beat Portland
Can't wait to see Danny playing
Did they win or did Portland overlook them? You know what happens to a good team when they overlook crap teams.
All games are pretty much must wins for us now they way things are nutted up. I hope missing our two best 3 point shooters doesn't hurt us. I read in the paper PHX averages 25.something 3 point shots per game and makes like 38% of the,need to take them off that line.
I want to get tickets for the lakers game and wear all clippers gear. But damn lakers tickets are so pricey
Is it me that our team played at a faster pace than usual against the Pelicans a few days ago? That is such a good sign for me. I have a good feeling we will not have a problem with tonight's game. The guys looked great playing with a lot of intensity and confidence. Suns fear us more than we fear them.
We might want a slow paced game because with the shooters the Suns have spreading the floor and the athletes getting up and down could be an issue. In the Suns place we don't need the fans getting into it so if we can get a "grit and grind" game like the Houston one we can break them down. Game is going to be exciting either way.
It's the pelican. I wouldn't read too much to it. If it were against Memphis......
Looking forward to this game for 2 reasons, PHX embarrassed us last game on our homecourt and its Grangers first game as a clipper, lego clips!
Clippers -4 tonight. Hmm...scary.
This will be a good game,Blake must step up aggressively.
Not sure why Channing gives him so much trouble
I think being a 6-11 big who shoots .391% from the 3PT line in his career is a pretty good reason. He's tough on a lot of player/teams.
I got a discount offer from Goldstar, probably 300 seats,i didn't look
I don't see us winning tonight unless our defense is locked in.
lets just hope the rockets and warriors lose so we have some wiggle room
They have given me gray hair some nights , but Its all worth it. These are my top 2 games of the season. Seeing JJ Reddick in that Mavericks game
Watching that Mavericks clip still makes me nervous even though I already know what happens. What a great comeback.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that we easily should beat this team. Feel free to quote me if I'm wrong by the end of the night.
I have a good feeling about tonight. We've been rolling lately and the Rockets have to play the Heat. Let's just hope Barnes and Granger can contain Green, who killed us last time. Dragic is a superstar, but I love the way CP3 has been playing lately. He's been aggressive on offensive, but he's still been distributing as always. I predicting this game stays close until the end, when the Clips pull away. I hope I'm right.
LOL, I've learned that it doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong, as long as you can admit being wrong later on.
I would say more so on offense, Frye is a true stretch 4 you have to respect his 3pt shot, having to guard so far is out of Blakes comfort zone and doesn't put him in a good rebounding position which he seems to thrive best.
It would be interesting to find out the percentage of 3pt shoters when Blake is guarding because from observation it seems he gets scored on a lot from out there, his short arms and slow reactions does little to bother the shooter, he is better to body up on D but then he is probably worried about being beaten off the dribble
Dragic is the MOST underrated player in the league. HE can go off for 40 on any given night. Plus they have front court depth like Utah had a couple years back. Idk guys, this game is gonna be tough
All star snub for sure, similar to Curry last season, he has just gone on a tear since AS weekend
miles plumlee isn't playing. that should help a little bit
obviously a tough matchup for us, we're 1-11 or something against PHO @Phoenix. big game tonight!
We are 1-8 in our last 9 games in PHX. Don't think you'll be able to put easy in the same sentence IF we win tonight, LOL.
Collison might really struggle against a much taller Gerald green. Hopefully not too bad though
Why's Jamaal's name circled if he is inactive?
I'll bet you granger sees less than 15 minutes tonight. It's not because he doesn't have the potential to be the starter, but because doc always looks at the big picture, and easing a player into PT rather than throwing him out there is more important that the 2-3 games the process takes.

ARTICLE FROM: ProBasketballTalk (NBC Sports)
" Glen Davis has only been a member of the Clippers for four games, but he's already sensing something special about his new team.
Davis was bought out by the Magic and signed with Los Angeles less than two weeks ago, but played for Doc Rivers in Boston during his first four NBA seasons.
He was part of the championship team in 2008 as a rookie, and is drawing on that experience when explaining how he's beginning to get a similar feeling about this current Clippers squad.
From Dan Woike of the Orange County Register:
Davis knows this feeling because he's been a part of it before. Playing for Coach Doc Rivers and the Boston Celtics, Davis won a title in his rookie season.
"It's almost to the point of a supernatural belief," Davis said. "We're starting to believe, and not only believe, but put in the work. You combine the two, you've got a deadly combination of guys who can play the right way and who are just so athletic.
"When you mix athleticism and playing the right way every time with a great coach like Doc, the sky's the limit."
All of this came on the heels of the Clippers shellacking a team that was the Lakers in name only by 48 points.
The Clippers are a legitimate threat this season, mainly due to the improvement of Blake Griffin, along with the mere presence of Chris Paul and what is finally a competent coach on the sidelines in Rivers.
If Davis truly sees the championship chemistry forming after such a short time with the club, then that's great. But more importantly, the results have been there to the point where we don't need to be concerning ourselves with this type of nonsense. "
It's time. Go Clippers!!!
The injuries are really starting to get me down. Jamal day to day again, and he was terrible tonight.
I am sort of the revers of that. The injuries are irritating, but this squad still seems to be able to work around the hurt player (s), when in the past they just folded. We win 6 in a row with half of the starters being our bench. 5 years ago with the injuries we now have we would be fighting the Fakers for last.

Today I completed the final section of the South Downs Way, from Exton to Winchester (both in Hampshire). It was a bit of a spur of the moment decision last night, and it meant another early start and a marathon bus journey to get home.
The weather started rather grey and overcast, with a forecast of rain, but I was still in my shorts and short-sleeve shirt (and an umbrella in my rucksack). I did wonder whether I had got it wrong, but once I started walking it became clear that although the sun was not visible it was still a going to be a warm day.
I spent a little longer than I had planned in Exton, mainly at the church (pictured below), St. Peter and St. Paul, which was open and is a delightful church. There were several baptisms, marriages and burials of my ancestors that took place at that church and it was good to see it in detail at last.
I hurried off from Exton, trying to make up for the time I had spent in the church, heading in a north-westerly direction up Beacon Hill. The first half a mile or so was a gentle rolling landscape and I could almost see my ancestors working on these fields 150 years ago. Then things got steep and the thoughts of my ancestors turned to thoughts of mountain goats.
The view from the top was worth the climb, even in the gloom and haze there were quite spectacular views to the south and west. Also there was a trig point there as well, which made it really worthwhile. From Beacon Hill the South Downs Way continues in the same roughly north-westerly direction, and to be honest the path became a little dull again.
The views were very limited, often blocked by hedgerows either side of the track. The only thing that kept me going was trying to catch up with and stay ahead of a couple of groups of walkers, who had also got off the bus at Exton. My dalliance at the church had allowed them to get ahead of me, but it was a great motivator to try and catch up with them.
The path started to open up a bit more after the halfway point and also it started to rain, fortunately it was nothing more than a few spots, although the skies threatened more. Within an hour or so the clouds started to break up, there was more blue sky than cloud.
The views at Cheesefoot Head were quite spectacular, and before long the city of Winchester came into view, then promptly disappeared as I rounded the side of the hill, but at least I could now see where I was heading, albeit still more than a couple of miles away.
As I descended towards Winchester I checked my watch and decided I could fit in a visit to Chilcomb church. I couldn't remember exactly which one it was, but one of my MITCHELL relatives was baptised here, and I felt that I ought to get a photo otherwise I would probably never get around to visiting it again. It is such a delightful little church, I was really glad I took time out to visit, there are stunning views of Winchester from the churchyard.
The final couple of miles from Chilcomb to Winchester were not particularly interesting, the entry in the city is across a footbridge over the motorway, and then about a mile along pavements into the heart of the city. The final stretch is along the side of the River Itchen, which was quite nice, but it seems all traces of the South Downs Way had disappeared from the city.
Despite my brief efforts, I couldn't find any sign marking the end of the South Downs Way, the statue of King Alfred has apparently been adopted as the end (or start) of the route, but having walked the 12 miles from Exton (and over 100 miles from Eastbourne over the last couple of months) I had hoped to find some official indication that I had reached the end.
I must confess the path did bring me into a different part of the city, one which I hadn't seen before because it is at the opposite end of the city from the Hampshire Record Office, and it was a much nicer part of the city, and somewhere I would like to come back to and explore further.
Then came the question of getting home. There were two options, bus or train. I had been hoping I would get to Winchester in time to get the bus, because I have been wanting to get the bus home from Winchester for over six months now, so I made my way to the bus station.
The bus journey home is an epic journey, and one that cuts through my Hampshire ancestral homeland. From Winchester the bus goes to Alton (home of the WRIGHT family) and then on to Guildford, Surrey. The journey takes about an hour and forty minutes, and as well as Alton it passes through Alresford, Hampshire which is home to my MITCHELL roots.
Racing through the Hampshire countryside on the top deck of the double-decker bus was a perfect way to end the day, especially as when we neared Ropley we passed alongside the Mid Hants Railway and were treated to the sight of one of their preserved steam trains heading for Alton.
From Guildford, Surrey it was another hour by bus to Horsham, Sussex where I was finally able to get on a bus that would take me home. For some people four hours on buses would be torture, but for me it was just a perfect way to end another little adventure in my life.
