Lillard is now babied officially - I want to win this game
4/4 ft by Dj
I just hate how coaches are always so impudent against us. Lillard has 5 fouls and he's played since the 6 minute mark! Like lets go team, foul him the **** out
what the hell is with that delay of game warning? DJ helping out the refs?? No one was going to get that ball...
Defense Clips
They can't go a high pick and roll with cp3 and blake. Unstoppable move at this point!
Come on DJ grab the board or box out
Woah....i wasn't expecting that
CP missing 2 FTs. WAAAT?
Paul missed both....wow.
**** those two free throws could decide the game....
Shooting ourselves in the foot.
Coming down to foul shoots
Paul redeems himself with the steal.
All we need is 1 stop guys..
Blake needed to take that wide open shot instead of passing to barnes.
DJ clutch or what?
damnit Blake should've taken that mid-range jumper and closed the game.....!!!
Getting a lot of stops now! Just one more man!!
Up 3 similar to last time. DO YOU FOUL?
Grab a body DJ!
Cp3 needs another steal to make up for those 2 missed freethrows. could be a 2 possession game right now.
Blazers shots aren't falling now, but we gotta get 1 more stop!! 1 more guys
OK. NO THREES please. Switch everything and if it comes down to it....foul.
Blake just passed up a WIDE OPEN 2 pointer. WHY?
NO 3s. Anything but a three.
I would yes except cp just missed 2, what if he misses again!?
BTW, GO MIAMI. LEBRON JAMES WINS THE GAME FOR THEM. Lets Go Clips
Forced them to take the two or let 3 seconds run the clock and send them the line
C'mon Jamal.... give us this win
Thank you Clippers!
Hit both Crawford!
great defense jamal!!
Great D by Jamal there staying grounded.
lmao Paul didn't want to shoot them free throws again.
blazers chucking. You die by the three you cocksuckers
Phew! Thank you Jamal!
Nice win good night guys!
Yes! Lets go!
Jesse Pinkman: "YEAH BITCH!"
Thank u DJ with those clutch FTs and steal.
yea **** those Fuckers
Now this is a good time to foul! Don't let them even attempt a 3
do we foul?
Miami WINS! Great night for clipper basketball (minus the spurs win)
GAME! Lets go!
Wow... game was too close for comfort lol
THERE is your quality win!

One of the most engrossing scenes in Steven Spielbergs masterful new film Lincoln occurs when the U.S. president finally meets with a Confederate peace delegation on a ship off the coast of Virginia in February of 1865. The so-called Hampton Roads Conference ended in failure largely because the Confederate representatives were still insisting on independence and Lincoln would not accept that possibility.
The leader of the Confederate delegation, played by actor Jackie Earle Haley in the film, was Vice President Alexander Stephens, whose restored residence in Crawfordville, Ga., is only about 60 miles west of Augusta. In touring the property twice over the years, I have heard many tales about its famous resident; it was particularly interesting to see him dramatically depicted in one of the years best films.
Known as Liberty Hall, the house was originally owned by Williamson Bird, Stephens law teacher and landlord. A.H. Stephens rented a room in the house beginning in 1834. Upon Birds death in 1845, Stephens purchased the property, added a rear veranda and library-bedroom wing in 1854, and totally rebuilt the main structure in 1875. It was his primary residence until his death in 1883 while he was serving a term as Georgias chief executive.
Alexander Stephens followed the path blazed by many lawyers before him he went into politics. He served in both the lower and upper houses of the Georgia legislature before winning federal office, ultimately spending 16 years in the United States House of Representatives (1843 to 1859). By all accounts, Stephens became a major figure in Congress, successfully navigating the complicated political landscape of pre-Civil War America, first as a Whig and then as a Democrat. A hallmark of his decision-making appears to have been a fierce sense of independence, and he often opposed majority sentiment, arguing for the preservation of the Union, for example, long after many of his fellow Georgians had become hell-bent on secession.
In 1861, however, his allegiance shifted to the Confederacy, which he served as vice president until 1865 when he was arrested at his Crawfordville home and imprisoned in Boston harbor from April to October of that year. Yet, that unhappy conclusion to his tenure in the executive branch of the Confederate government a time also marked by his bitter feuding with President Jefferson Davis, whom he often opposed because of the latters support of conscription and the suspension of certain basic civil rights did not derail his political career for long.
After Reconstruction, Alexander Stephens was back in Washington, serving once again in the United States House of Representatives (1873-1882); he resigned to assume Georgias highest office that same year.
Like Davis, whose health was never robust, Stephens suffered from a variety of ailments most of his life; according to some accounts, he was 5 feet 9 inches tall but never weighed more than 96 pounds. Of the three members of the Confederate delegation depicted in Spielbergs Lincoln, Jackie Earle Haley, the actor playing Stephens, is the smallest and the only one wrapped in a shawl-like scarf.
As fate would have it, Stephens was also repeatedly the victim of physical trauma. Some of his personal injuries were partially the result of his own outspokenness he was stabbed by a political opponent during a heated exchange outside an Atlanta hotel in 1848; other shocks to the body were the result of unfortunate accidents he survived a train wreck in 1853 and spent his last dozen years a cripple after a gate fell on him near his home in 1869.
Todays visitor to Liberty Hall will find plenty of evidence of Stephens chronic frailty. Both the ground floor bedroom, situated in the front of the house so that he could greet guests, and the dining room contain wheelchairs that belonged to him; a night stand in his bedroom is crowned with a large assortment of bottles that once contained patent medicines. The museum building next door to the main residence it is a facility devoted to Stephens life and times, especially the Confederate period includes a display of items that brought him comfort in his later years: a glass inhaler, ear muffs and wrist bands.
The house itself, which includes most of its original furniture, conforms to the classic four-over-four pattern of much of the domestic architecture of the Old South. Each floor boasts a wide central hallway with two large rooms on each side. The first floor includes two formal parlors, one for the ladies and one for the men, a dining room and Stephens bedroom; the kitchen is, of course, in a separate building because of the common fear that a cooking fire might spread to the rest of the house.
The second floor is devoted entirely to bedrooms. Stephens was, it is said, a generous host, and he would often give shelter to travelers on the road. He also taught law, in the tradition of the houses original owner Williamson Bird, and his students would board with him.
The property also retains many of its original outbuildings including the slave quarters, a two-room building that was, at one time, home to Henry and Eliza Stephens, both house servants. Stephens purchased Eliza when she was just a teenager and also purchased Henry from a neighboring plantation when it became clear that she fancied him for a husband. Their descendants hold periodic reunions in Eliza and Henrys former residence, which is today furnished with family mementos.
Stephens never married, so the property was inherited by the family of his brother Linton before it passed into the hands of the Daughters of the Confederacy and eventually the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Stephens is buried in a plot in front of the house next to an imposing granite monument erected in his memory in 1893; his beloved poodle Rio is interred in the paddock to the rear of the residence.
On one side of the base of Stephens monument, it reads: Here sleep the remains of one who dared to tell the people they were wrong when he believed so, and who never intentionally deceived a friend or betrayed even an enemy.

Thank you Fanny!
Thank you Fanny
Thank you Fanny.
Regulatory compliances, Yes
No mobility
QA testing used
QA testing
Hi from Oregon!
missed it but its a good presentation
no qa testing, no cleanrooms
no automaintion testing. bash.
I am not involved in qa testing.
good QA testing overview...
I sometimes do QA testing...
Thank you for your time Fanny.
@Ann - re. mobility... YES, mobility is one of the most important aspects
@Ann - not for the particular type of testing I was involved in... mostly just cabled RF
@Ann - mostly in-house automation tools, for scripting - Perl, shell scripts, C
@Ann - used to be deeply involved in QA testing for CDMA, EVDO
Great to have access to the recorded sessions.
Missed the live lecture due to travel...
SATELLITE Communications Receivers
Thanks Fanny
Some Good Comments
yes we do regulatory complice testing just not on wireless yet
Yes it does involve some mobility
no I am not involved in QA testing
Looking forward to some more good info on wireless
Hello picking up another one a few days late
thank you
good day
good info
Seems to me, that this is yesterday's lecture...
Hello to everyone!
I would like to see more courses int he future.
Keep up the good work.
This was great
This is great
Hello .
Thanks for sharing knowledge. Very interesting Lecture
Thanks to Fanny and all.
thank you all!
another useful hook would be an ability of the device to scann all the channels and report how much activity is seen on all the available channels. this can help select the best channel of operation, for example.
Thanks Fanny and Ann, see all next time.
Thanks for the Lecture, Fanny, it was veey interesting, I ´ll see you tomorrow
Academic labs (or any new labs coming online) will need to be certified by CTIA to do certificaiton testing. Internationally, you also need GCF and PTCRB certificaiton of the certification labs.
many thanks for the great presentation Fanny... see you tomorrow
if you can include hooks into your wireless driver so that the user can request RSSI, BSSID (association info) and some rudimentary statistics (e.g. RX and TX frames) that could be enormously helpful.
Are academic labs able to do the certification as well?
Based on your experience, are there any debug hooks you have found particularly usefull for replicating and debugging problems from the field/customers ?
labs for wirless cert include TUV, 7layers, CETECOM, AT4 and others. they may also do pre-certification.
@FANNY: Thank you for your wisdom!
please see some white papers and test reports on our website at http://www.octoscope.com/English/Resources/Whitepapers.html. i cannot think of a book off the top of my head, but there are several worth reading.
@Fanny, you got any suggestions where I can find a list of places where I can do pre-certification testing?
@FANNY Are these FCC test reports available?
Is there any reading material your particulary recommend, e.g. a book or a white paper ?
we have examined the FCC reports on Apple iPhone and these were interesting. I don't know how they tested in their lab.
more is not always better when it comes to the size of the team, but you want to have enough people to create a good automation framework. I would say 3-5 people total, give or take. it really depends on the complexity of the software on top of the radio, too.
@FANNY: Very interested in knowing about Apple plaaning tests and field test requirements. Any info you can share?
we need some information on the RF environment in the field and then we need to try and reproduce this environment in the lab and try to replicate the failures. that's the hard part. if you can reproduce the failures, typically fixing it is the easy part.
yes - planning ahead brings important benefits - faster time to market and better products
Thanks, what size team is that assuming ?
@FANNY: "typical problems in the field: no connection, low throughput, low quality of voice or other real-time services, roaming drops sesssion, etc."
And then when this cases go back to the lab, what type of conclusions heve been reached as far as the limitations of the lab tests? In other words what have been some learned lessons?
Fanny, I liked your comment that QA tests are developed in parallel with the product. Production and repair tests are usually an after thought. Sometimes carefully considered tests can determine parts of the product design for manufacturing and repair.
a typical radio test cycle should take 1-2 months
@FANNY: Sorry I cut and paste "ANN" from the previous time the question was posed.
From your experience, once a new design is in the prototyping, how long does it take fully test it and start production ?
typical problems in the field: no connection, low throughput, low quality of voice or other real-time services, roaming drops sesssion, etc.
Thank you.
@ANN: Can you tell us about typical problems that happen in the field even though the device(s) passed all lab condition tests?
Thank You, good session
Lecture very informative and interesting.
Thank you, nice presentation..looking forward for tomorrow session!
Thank you for another interesting presentation
Thanks Fanny and Ann. This session provided many good things to consider when designing tests for QA, not necessarily just in wreless testing.
Interesting presentation, thank you.
Thanks Fanny!
Thank You for a very interesting lecture!
thanks Ann ... see you tomorrow

Common Core Standards have been the subject of a lot of misinformation in the past few months: They will cost money we don't have; they will force students to read insulation manuals in English class; they represent a federal takeover of schools.
Underlying many of the criticisms is a sense that these standards – which have been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia – are so different and difficult that many students won't be able to meet them. American kids, particularly those who live in poverty, can't meet current standards, the worry goes; higher standards will make it that much more difficult for them to make it through school and graduate.
With those arguments as a backdrop, I have been fascinated by enthusiasm for Common Core Standards among educators in successful high-poverty and high-minority schools. Convinced that the new standards represent a ladder their students can use to climb out of poverty and isolation, these educators are, in the words of one, "leaping to Common Core Standards."
A little background: For the better part of a decade, I have been visiting high-poverty and high-minority schools that perform well – really well – on state tests. Mostly, they perform about as well as middle-class white schools, and sometimes they are at the top of their states.
Successful by current measures – I call them "It's Being Done Schools" – one could easily imagine educators in these schools resisting changes that could potentially make them look bad, at least in the short term while they adjust.
But I have found exactly the opposite.
Take, for example, Gayla Morphew, who teaches at DeQueen Elementary School, one of the top-performing schools in Arkansas. DeQueen is hours from Little Rock and an hour north of Texarkana. Most of the school's parents work the day or night shift killing, cleaning and plucking chickens in nearby processing plants, and most are recent immigrants from Mexico and Central America.
In other words, it is a poor town with few resources. But the educators at DeQueen Elementary are determined to prepare their students to make their way in the world. "We want them to be able to take advantage of all the opportunities out there," says Morphew, who is the school's literacy facilitator. Common Core Standards, she says, are "clear and concise and good for kids." She is particularly enthusiastic about the opportunity the new standards provide to help students make the connection between facts and ideas.
She is a passionate advocate for the idea that her students – poor as they may be – can learn their way into a better life, and that Common Core Standards will help teachers help them do just that.
Here's another example: Pass Christian High School in Pass Christian, Miss. You may remember Pass Christian as one of the towns devastated in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. The school building has a sign 16 feet above the ground floor, marking the high water mark and reminding everyone of the year school had to be held in trailers on the grounds of the only elementary school in the district that hadn't been destroyed.
Pass Christian isn't Mississippi's poorest town – its economy is bolstered by the nearby casinos and Gulf Coast industry. But it isn't wealthy by any means – more than half the students at Pass Christian High School meet the qualifications for federally subsidized free and reduced-price meals. Years ago, it was low-performing and had a tough-guy reputation among neighboring schools.
Today, however, Pass Christian is one of the highest achieving high schools in the state, graduating higher percentages of students – both black and white – than the state as a whole. This year, likely because so many students took a college-preparatory curriculum and Advanced Placement exams, the 120 students in the graduating class attracted more than $5 million in scholarship support for postsecondary education.
Educators at Pass Christian told me they began to improve once Mississippi adopted its state standards. "We looked at them and saw we could do it," said one. The district adopted "Committed to Excellence" as its motto, and set out to help all students meet the state's standards. "Committed to Mediocrity would have been so much easier," the principal, Meredith Bang, told me, laughing ruefully.
As Bang says, commitment to mediocrity would be easier – but our children, our schools and our nation need and deserve so much more.

Thanks William
catching up
good insights
thank you.
very good seminar!
good seminar, and one more to go.
Good review - a bit of a feeling of deja vous all over again, but such is the nature in comparing types and families of architectures. The presentation also jogged a couple issues for review in an upcoming design which is completely worth the time to review this presentation!
Ill have to finish this later
picking up day 4
Thank you William,
Thanks Bill
Back again to catch up.
Hi all!
Could anyone provide some references on microcontrollers ?
either introductory or advanced. Thanks with respect.
I was unable to keep up with the lectures but will keep the valuable conversations.
Today brought to you by Digi-Key!
Well, Thank you all for attending today's Continuing Education Series course on Selecting a 16-bit Microcontroller. Be sure to come back tomorrow for a final wrapup of this week's events and some final conclusions for Microcontrollers and System Considerations. Thanks Again and see you all tomorrow!
Any last questions?
Just chilling to see if there is anything else to be asked or answered.
Between 3:56 and 4:02
Seemed chat was down.
What aspect are you checking about being back up, Bill?
Were we down?
We back up?
test 9
Anything else you want to ask?
I reloaded the page and it is working. So either the time elapsed or the reload retriggered the fetch.
Mine is working.
Archive auio is usually up immediately after the audio portion of the session.
Archive audio isn't working yet. How long does it take to render the audio from today's session and have it for streaming ?
C and assembly.
C and assembly
Is anyone using a language other than C to program your microcontrollers?
Mark, I have always felt that if you understand a core's assembly language, then you can program it in C more efficiently.
I did a Z80 ap 20 years ago that used the "second register set" and the NMI to do a software UART - the NMI pin was tied to a spare timer output. It used about 25% of the processor and saved adding an interface chip.
@mark.browne: We have to do the same thing now in TI launchpad series. We use the timer and an outmod register to output an appropriate set reset value wrt to the bit value.
Assy - so do I. I had to convert a system out of C as it outgrew it's ROM. It taught me a lot about how C does things and stepped up my assembly languge game to the next level. C is really very pretty assembly languge.
Who's building a battery-powered application?
Embedded control systems / battery powered portable weigh scales and chassis alignment equipment.
Ah, yeah Mark. Remember, I think in assembly language!
High speed LCR meter.
C does this aoutmatically - Macros libraries and give a uniform access method the reduces stack abuse.
What are the applications that you all are building now?
A more intricate form of stack transfer is to use the stack as a volitle place to put local data for a subroutine. Adressing of this data is then relative tothe stack pointer. THis can be done local to a subroutine and/or a way to pass data to a subroutine.
If you do this, make sure you understand your software and you do not end up popping someone else's data off the stack. You don't want a stack imbalance.
If you are doing 16-bit processing and lots of serial I/O, the MSP430 will probably be a better performer for you than the AVR.
Guan: Re saving the stack while entering and leaving the ISR.. Yes. I believe that was what Bill was emphasizing..
Bill, what you think about performance ratio between MSP430 and AVR?
Both are register-based architectures. The AVR is 8-bit and the MSP430 is 16-bit. The AVR seems to be more forgiving when it comes to power supply. Both have been around for a very long time.
@ucschmidt Glad I was able to help! I strongly recommend getting on LinkedIn. Also, check out the inventory and the development boards at Digi-Key.
When we need radio we use DIGI zigbee - works well with the 485 mulit-drop network.
@BillGiovino: I am doing bluetooth using the PAN1323 ETU bluetooth module.
Thanks for the presentations this week. I now understand many things that I was not even aware of. I especially appreciate that you answer the questions on line so that those that do not have Linkedin can benefit...
Anyone doing WiFi?
RS485 mulit-drop
What sort of embedded networking are you all using? Ethernet, USB, CAN, UART, etc?
Now that is interesting. Always glad to hear a Z80 story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you!!!
I have to depart thank you for an awesome presentation
Ah forgot to add the higher priority :|
There it goes. I am thinking of adding the PIC24 to my project now to offload Ethernet and USB from the PIC32 due to the length of time required to communicate with the ADCs, DACs, and counter.
Also you can continue to receive interrupts inside an interrupt handler. You can enable or disable this atleast in the msp430.
Yes, that is when we have nested interrupts. While in an ISR, another interrupt will be acknowledges ONLY if it is a higher priority interrupt than the currect interrupt routine.
Then there is no way that the mcu is 'deaf' when doing this. An interrupt at that point would simply do the interrupt house keeping and jump to the handler.
But during the interrupt stack push/pop hardware processing, other interrupts are ignored until AFTER the stack operation is finished.
@bill - it was alaskaman66 that was worried that the IRQ was "deaf" - I know how it works and am not worried about that.
@Mark, ah, I do not want to interfere in anyone's love affair!
Wouldn't the MCU ignore the UART during a stack transfer operation, say if it were returning from a previous ISR?
Duing interrupt processing, peripherals continue to operate, so the UART would continue to function during an ISR
@mark.browne : Then there is no way that the mcu is 'deaf' when doing this. An interrupt at that point would simply do the interrupt house keeping and jump to the handler.
Bill - you have not tempted me to 16 bit away from my love afair with arm.
I was working with the MC6832 for the DDIN units some time ago when I discovered that 32-bit was more challenging. So I went back to 16-bit and have been there ever since.
That's a common reason for going back to 16-bits.
Test 8
I am taking this to mean - stack transfer = push/pop.
@Alaskaman66: When you mean stack transfer operation do you mean saving the state in the stack while processing an interrupt?
@Bill: I was working with the MC6832 for the DDIN units some time ago when I discovered that 32-bit was more challenging. So I went back to 16-bit and have been there ever since.
good day to all :)
thank you
UART.. Yes, but some interrupts may be more process critical than time critical. For example, a high-high alarm in a tank.
@BillGiovino: Isn't clearing the interrupt flag a sort of handshaking?
freescale has 8 bit to 32 bit pin compatable parts.
Bill, instead of a one time critical interrupt, how about a "smart interrupt" that requires some sort of handshaking to verify the interrupt was received and processed?
That sounds more like a UART function, which has Tx/Rx handshaking.
Looking at the MSP430
@Alaskaman, wouldn't that contribute to lagging?
Moved to a Freescale S12, from 8051, for speed, internal flash and RAM. S12 because I was already familiar with HC11 environment.
TIMSP430 16 bit
@bill: Codecs (wdog triggers)
For 16 bit I have usd the PIC24.
@bill: DIN Screen freezes
I use 8 and 16 bit. 16 bit when more processing power needed, more Flash, ... For example the electric metering device.
I use both; 8-bit for generic DSP (no time constraints), 16-bit for encryption/applets
(32-bit crashes) ... sigh, so very true. -UART
@UART, can you give me some more details on the 32-bit crashes you have seen?
Atmel, Philips(not new design)
QUESTION: Have any of you moved from an 8-bit microcontroller to a 16-bit, and why?
QUESTION: Can you tell me what 16-bit microcontrollers you all are using?
For selecting any processor, Digi-Key is an excellent source with their product lookup tables which have almost everything you could want selectable.
It sounds like the MCU is essentially deaf to the outside world during stack transfers. Is there any way to capture critical interrupts that may fall into that window?
No, which is why that interrupt overhead during stack transfers is such an important selection criteria.You've got to read the datasheet to get the actual figures. The Renesas RL78 I believe is pretty fast in the interrupt latency department.
Check out Digi-Key's inventory of Infineon C166 devices, they sell a lot of them. C166 is very high performance.
Bill, I'm in the process of choosing a Micro for a project that needs 512MB of FLASH for Hughe tables. So I'm using an external SPI Flash. I need minimum 4KRAM to be able to write to the flash. But the application does not require much processing (no math, only two comunication links)... I had already chosen the Frescale ARM cortex M0.. But Now I'm wandering if I have made the right decision... Any comments?
You mught want to look at some of the larger 16-bit Flash micros. The Infineon C166/XC166 16-bit family has some devices with more than 512KBytes Flash, and special instructions for lookup tables. You may be able to do the whole thing on one chip, no SPI memory.
I had to ETFM (Eat)
@Bill (32-bit crashes) ... sigh, so very true.
RTFM, I love it!
One issue not covered here is that for the developer, going from an 8 bit architecture to 32 bit involves a huge learning curve. The 32 bit micros have a staggering amount of registers and peripherals compared to an 8 bitter!
True, there is a steeper learning curve in using a 32-bit. Also, many 32-bit MCUs have protected memory modes. If you are not familiar with these modes, your code can suddenly stop working and you won't know why unless you RTFM.
could you mention some RTOS for 16bit microcontrollers?
CMX and ucos come to mind. If you want to run a full-blown RTOS, go 32-bit.
Can you explain to me how shadow register work as far as latency?
Bill, I'm in the process of choosing a Micro for a project that needs 512MB of FLASH for Hughe tables. So I'm using an external SPI Flash. I need minimum 4KRAM to be able to write to the flash.

But Now I'm wandering if I have made the right decision... Any comments?
Is it efficient to use external RAM or external clock with 16-bits?
You can use an external clock. But using external RAM on a microcontrolelr system will slow down your system, and you will also waste I/O pins for the external buses.
what are the differences between register based and acumulated based microcontrollers? whats the impact on overall performance?
Well, register-based are going to be higher performance than accumulator-based becasue you can do more work in less insrtuctions. That also means more compact code.
Reg-ster-based means you have eight or more REGISTERS in teh core, any of which can be used as destination registers for arithmetic operations. This is, of course, assembly language, which is important to understand if you want to understand the microcontroller, even if you are programming in C.
What's accumulated based?
Accumulator based is when the microcontroller's core architecture has only one core register, called an ACCUMULATOR, that is the ONLY destination register for any arithmetic operation.
thanks a lot
Thank you, Very interresting
Thanks Bill. This has been very illuminating.
thank you Bill -nice presentation

Q: Is it efficient to use external RAM or external clock with 16-bits?
William, Thanks again for the presentations.
@Raciel: freshman
what means iron user's type?
we are on slide #18
slide #16
I have audio....try reloading the page
8 bit < resolution ? I usually use 8 bit. The one project where it was more had dual processor with 8051 and PIC 14 bit A2D conversion.
audio ok here
we are on slide - 15
audio dropped out
on slide #14
Yes, I use 12 and 16bit ADC's. 16 bit one, only on a 16bit micro.
I need 14 bit A/D or better, 12 is not acceptable
Previously got by with 12 bit ADCs in measuring sensor data. System requirements now require 16 bit performance. Find we're having to go to external ADCs to meet performance requirements.
8 bit and 10 bit ADC
I used the 14-Bit ADC of the MSP430P325 in a Patient monitoring System.
experienced mostly 16 bit ADC spreviously
no question 16bit uC is more efficient for 12 bits ADCs. Still using 8 bits uC (cost and area reasons)
do alot of 12 bit data movement; yes 16 bit is more efficient than 8 bit.
Almost in all cases: 8 bits <ADC < 16bits
Freescale has one 8-Bit-Series (HC08 or S08) which is Pin-compatible to a 32-Bit Series (Coldfire V1).
adc 12 bit
I'm using 24 bit ADCs and a 32 bit counter. That's why I went to 32 bit microcontroller.
There are 10 bit ADCs on the PIC I'm using, but we're not using the ADCs
I use 12 bit and use the 8 bit transfer SPI, not a problem so far!
I use 16 bit micro
I use 10 and 12 bit A/D in most my products. No issues in dealing with it.
ADC 12 bit yes. 10 bit as well.
Yes to 10+ bits, using Cortex-M
on slide #11
Q: What's accumulated base?
we are on slide # 8
good point
surprized you didn't mention ARM's thumb mode....(?)
Several ugly solder bridges on that pic for slide 6 :-)
on slide #6
we are at slide #6
Flash 11.5 works. I made the mistake of installing the update this morning. Version 11.6 fails in Firefox, version 11.5 works in IE (gack).
Downloading the audio would also make it much easier for alot of us who listen in after the fact
yes, audio comming
Audio not works...
Audion coming.
program told me one time, he didn't care what the data path was, if the registers are 16 or 32 then, for him, it is a 16 or 32 processor.
audio works ok here with flash 11.5
Don't install the latest flash update (11.6.602.168); it breaks the player, again.
Audio situation is getting worse.... need muliple reloads and logins... usually miss the first 3 minutes. This is new for this week.
hello everyone
You really have to stop using clunky technology that is not bullet proof. Flash is not the way to do these sessions.
Hello everyone
Aduio is good and strong!

8080 was 8 bit.
8086 onwards were 16 bit (80286, 80286)
The IA-32 instruction set was introduced in the Intel 80386 microprocessor in 1986
See wikipedia
Hi everyone!
Hello from Edmonton, AB
as in 8086, 8080, 186, 286, 386 maybe?
Hello from Valladolid, Castilla y Leon, Spain
@rruther2: Possibly the Ethernet and USB PHYs
Actually Windows XP (32 bit) does have a 16 bit component to it if that is what you mean. It talks to older programs and drivers.
In the same way, Windows Vista 64 bit etc. has a 32 bit component to talk to 32 bit programs and drivers.
are any parts of gateways XP 16 bit?
My XP is 16 bit. TRUE or false?

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
�To the man I met, if not for Durango,� wrote a female guest in a room journal at the Strater Hotel.
While in town on business, the California woman described falling for this �amazing man. To whoever reads this, believe it or not, you can meet someone you can connect with in five days.
�This man ends up being 20 years younger. Yes, I know. We ordered room service every night and drank some good wine. ... Not sure if I will ever see him again, but he put a dent in my heart.�
The walls of the historic hotel can�t talk, but its room diaries are filled with romantic tales to warm the heart on Valentine�s Day. These are lovers deep in the throes of passion.
�Wow !! What a fabulous time we had !! We were here four days and barely left the room (wink)! The town was so cute driving in but we didn�t see much of it this trip,� wrote a couple from Phoenix.
Another couple wrote of meeting at the Strater as friends and checking out as lovers.
�Drove five hours through some of America�s most beautiful landscape for a friendly rendezvous that became a romantic tryst in room 310 with an amazing, playful, radiant, beautiful woman. Advice � sleep with the windows open.�
His girlfriend added, �This adventurous evening ended up being one of the most incredible nights of my life � totally unexpected � which makes it even more magical. The beautiful bright moon light and the fresh mountain air added a layer of beauty to an amazing experience. The stars aligned. I know it�s only the beginning of a long journey.�
Stories written in hotel room diaries are difficult, if not impossible, to verify. Writers do seem to find their muse at the Strater, where most famously, author Louis L�Amour, wrote many of his novels.
�That�s one of the really fun things about the journals. Not only did Louis L�Amour become a prolific writer while he was staying at the Strater, but our guests wax poetic from their experiences here,� said Suzan Lane, human resource director.
�A lot of people write about hearing people in the room next to them having romance, too,� Lane said.
One guest in particular shared a Valentine�s Day story.
On Feb. 2, 2012, a man named Franklin wrote, �I am from Cleveland, Ohio. This is my 63rd visit to the Strater Hotel. I come here every year on Valentine�s Day to remember my lovely Elaine who was here with me in 1950. We enjoyed a lovely night here. She sadly passed four days later of food poisoning. Things were much different in those days. But this place has remained the same. I return every year to see my love.�
Staff could not corroborate his story. No one by the writer�s name had a reservation for the Strater this Valentine�s.
Hoteliers are not the only businesspeople who hear their share of romantic stories.
Florists during Valentine�s get an earful when taking orders over the phone for the romantic notes that will be attached to their lovers� flower arrangements.
Valentine�s Day, along with Mother�s Day, is the busiest time of the year for April�s Garden, which will have 10 drivers delivering flowers today.
Their customers� messages run the gamut from naughty to nice.
�We see all kinds of things. We get some profanity, suggestive messages. People using puns. Oh, we�ve had a few,� said Amy Long, owner of April�s Garden. �We get a chuckle out of them every once and a while. It�s our comic relief.
�We do get a lot that are touching and romantic,� Long said. �We think, �Oh, I wish my husband or boyfriend would write that for me.��

My wife and I were out and about again today, walking another section of the South Downs Way. The weather was reasonably good, slightly cooler than previous walks and mostly dry. The photo below shows the first climb of the day, as you can see there was lots of broken cloud, but around midday the cloud became thicker eventually leading to some light rain and ultimately one heavy, but very brief shower.
There had obviously been some very heavy rain recently because there were some very large (almost unpassable) puddles and many patches of mud, which made some of the paths a little awkward.
I like this particular section, partly because of the almost continuous views of the village of East Meon and that it finished in Exton, both of which have family connections, partly because there are some superb views to the south to Southampton and the Isle of Wight and partly because it is a section I am not that familiar with (unlike some of the Sussex sections).
The biggest surprise of the day was the state of HMS Mercury, last year when I walked this section the site contained many derlict buildings that made up this naval establishment. Today although the security fences were still there but the buildings had gone, or rather they had been reduced to big piles of ground-up rubble. I don't think there was anything architecturally outstanding about the buildings but it was still sad to see them gone.
As with previous walks here are some facts and figures for today's walk:

There is no room in the inn during Masters Week. The Willcox on Colleton Avenue is full and also is completely booked for the same period in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
"A tour group comes in from Australia; they buy us out entirely, and they've just signed on for another three years," said Geoff Ellis, who owns the 22-room hotel with his wife, Shannon.
"But our spa and restaurant are still open to the public, and they will be very, very busy," he added.
The Willcox is just one of the many businesses in Aiken County that benefit from Augusta's famed golf tournament, which attracts thousands of tourists to the area.
"Many businesses see Masters Week as a second Christmas," said David Jameson, president and CEO of the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce. "Lots of shopping takes place during the day in Aiken. Hotels are full, our restaurants flourish and our golf courses are packed. It has a far-reaching impact, and many people count on it as another one of those ways to get over their financial hump."
A series of practice rounds for the Masters begins today at the Augusta National, and the first round of the tournament is scheduled for Thursday. The historic event ends on Sunday, unless rain pushes it to Monday.
"The best way to describe it is, every day of the week is like a beautiful Saturday," said Jennifer Pruiett, who owns the Aiken Brewing Company on Laurens Street with her husband, Rob. "Masters Week is a great time of year for us. Everybody has to work crazy hours, but we get it done."
Van Smith of Lionel Smith Ltd. in downtown Aiken makes sure the men's clothing store is stocked with plenty of bright-colored shirts and pants.
"There are a lot of people who come in from the Northeast, where stores don't have a lot of their spring and summer clothing yet," he said. "So it's all brand-spanking new out of the box to them."
Smith estimated that sales at Lionel Smith increase 15 to 20 percent during Masters Week.
"We get many new people who come in, and we also see a lot of old faces that we only see once a year," he said. "We have a lot of women who shop here when they don't go over to the Masters with their husbands."
Mike Willis, who owns Tea Garden Gifts in downtown Aiken with Cathy Bland, said the shop's management prepares for Masters Week by sending out emails to customers and advertising in local publications. There also are product promotions on Facebook and an in-store contest that involves a putting green and the opportunity for customers to win 20 percent off their purchases.
"People aren't just kicking tires; they're buying, and it makes a difference," Willis said.
Tea Garden usually stays open longer during Masters Week.
"We play it by ear," Willis said. "Normally, Monday through Friday, we close at 5:30 p.m. But during Masters Week, we close Thursday and Friday around 7 or 7:30. Monday through Wednesday, we're probably open until around 6."
At Ryan's Downtown Market & Deli, "we cancel all vacations and man all stations," said Cutter Mitchell, who owns the restaurant with his brother, Hayes Mitchell. "We order extra food, and everybody works more hours."
Business grows 20 to 30 percent, he estimated.
According to Jameson, Masters Week is more than an opportunity for Aiken County stores, restaurants and hotels to reap financial rewards. It also provides business owners and residents a chance to promote the area to visitors.
The Chamber, he said, recently sent out a reminder to its members "that now is when the golf world is going to be looking at our area, so it's time to paint and patch up and for all of us to be ambassadors for Aiken."
Little actions, according to Jameson, could have big consequences.
"Just the fact that you smiled and said hello ... might cause someone to think, 'You know, I'm really enjoying my visit to Aiken. Maybe when we're running our numbers for our next business project, we'll look at this community as a possibility.'"

It sickens me to see how so many people on this forum are bashing chris paul and putting a lot of the blame on him. Are people forgetting him along with Blake and doc is the reason to why players want to come here and he'll even doc is here because of him? Why are people not blaming the fact that we just went up against OKC and the refs? The fact that we had no bigs so protect the rim besides DJ and some times blake? He's the best PG in the league and people say oh he doesn't work with Blake...well i don't know if people have noticed but he's a pass first type of guy. Now should the offense run a lot more through Blake of course it should but you can't just blame cp3 for that. I see people on here bash our players way to much and yet you guys call yourself's fans? Oh but then paul comes and saves the day now you guys cheer for him huh? He defended curry so well and chased after him for 7 games I'm pretty darn sure having to deal with Westbrook next wasn't easy at all who doesn't have trouble with Westbrook? I honestly don't know how you guys can just bash chris paul like that after everything he's done for the team. I want to see my team win a title too and I know you guys want the same the we don't go and bash our own players and say oh we should trade him let's dump him that's not cool at all. I saw the same thing with Barnes and I defended him and I still will offensively maybe he didn't show up especially not last night but he locked down friken Kevin Durant to the best of his ability and showed that game 5 more than ever. The only way I would want Barnes gone is of we are getting something amazing from it other than that I think he should stay he's a great team mate and the chemistry he has the team is great. I'm just tired of seeing way to many people on this forum talk trash on our own players especially a player like cp3. Why not just say we need better wing players and bigs so back up our starters? My last point is this granger didn't pan out anywhere near we thought he would and I think he's part to blame too we would have been better going after butler again. I love my team and I love our players do we need a tweak of course what we don't need is people so negative all the time so to those fans f**k off
Because he was the one who choked away game 5 and made people question his legacy. He admitted it's his fault. People have a right to their opinions, this isn't an Orwellian universe last I checked. If you want to be happy and positive about this season go ahead but don't blame those of us who had higher expectations
I had high expectations too and I know that if it wasn't for the refs constantly helping OKC out we would have won this series. And yea he f***ed up game 5 but didn't Crawford **** it up too then they both went for threes when they should have passed it to blake and attack the rim. be aggressive my point one rant was that people on here want to trade him and get rid of him
Is he perfect no he the only one to blame no other factors and players are too blame too.
But Chris Paul is the leader, runs the offense and highest paid. Sorry it's on him
So your telling me this whole series was lost because of him? It had nothing to do with the fact that big baby our second first big off the bench? And OKC was having layup drills when DJ wasn't out there? Or the fact that way too many times we would fall in love with the three pointer the refs all of that factors in like JJ shot way many catch and shoot threes and they wouldn't go in so who's not to say of they would have gone for the two pointer it would have made a difference
A lot of the people who bash him also overreact and say we loss the game when we are down 5 at the start of the first quarter. Just put them on ignore where they belong and CP3 was the best player in this series by a large margin. He messed up in game 5(also got jobbed badly by refs) but was the best player on our team for pretty much every other game.
People who blame him use Skip Bayless esque logic.
About time someone who can see my point thanks heliflopper and I totally agree with you and they seem to be the same people who were thinking we were actually going to loose to the golden state. Some people on here just seem to be with the clippers when they win
YOu are not alone ,I agree with what say too. Must be newer fans that do not know what the last 20 years have been like. This was the greatest year ever, we build every year on our foundation. CP3 is the best pg in the league but he is not a one man show nor should he be.
If he were so bad he wouldn't be on top of the assist leader board,doing what a PG is supposed to do. So he doesn't win us a ring this year with his aching hammy, busted up shoulder and broken left hand. Imagine that. We have a new coach that didn't win the NBA finals in his first year with half a new team, imagine that.
Someone critiqued on the game thread that no one cheered EJ when he was on the big screen. 3/4 of the arena did not even know who he is. They knew Jack Nicholson though!
So this is what CLipper NAtion has become. We don't cheer for someone we don't know and we get angry because with a virtually new team, a point guard that is hurt in a way that most anyone here with his injuries would stay home and phone it in , one of the biggest controversy in the NBA's history (thanks Don)and a new coach , and therefore we didn't win the NBA finals.
I had a blast this year and am planning on having even a better time next year. Somewhere in the next 3-4 years,we get there.....providing Satan....errr DTS....doesn't eff this deal up by being a dick.
besides,we were good enough this year. Just got screwed in the end.
We may have loss this year but we definitely made progress. We will only get better next season. A few small moves(getting a better SF and backup bigs) can make us better by a decent margin.
Exactly it seems like the long term fans understand me and my point I've been a fan since 2000 and man have we been through a lot as clipper fan. I agree with @fightonron this year was amazing we did everything we did without solid bigs we did it with players not panning out how we thought they would. OKC got the best of us this year but next year we a better team and hopefully new ownership well be in the finales!!!!
There is one thing I am going to say and it's something I've always believed in and thought in. I honestly think we need a player like melo on this team we need a go to scorer cp3 can't do it alone and blake needs to work on the jump shot he's getting there but needs a little bit more help or work on it.
We need a 3 & D guy like Kawhi Leonard or Ariza. Someone who can slow down guys like Durant or even Westbrook. Imagine if we had another capable defensive SF. I think Ariza could have slowed down Westbrook a bit. Barnes did a pretty good job on Durant.
I agree with that too I would just like to see a go scorer besides Jamal and jj get me but I agree with you one of those two players would be great.
I'm a big gator fan and was so pissed off when we passed on parsons I saw the potential he had and would love him too solid all around. Main weakness with this team are the wings and the bigs. We fix those problems with really good back ups and wing players the nba better watch out
OK we need rest stop the blame game, It's Docs first year with us and Sterling messed up the team in the middle of the P/O. As of now we don't have bright future. If sterling will not sell the team We are in big trouble.
I'm so tired of the Sterling excuse. Yes, he's a piece of **** and a cancer to the league. Yes, he deserves to be gone. But this far from the first controversy DTS has had during the Blake era alone, and the players still had no problem taking his money and playing for him until now. Jordan, Pippen and Phil hated the owner and GM in Chicago and the feeling was mutual, but it didn't stop them from winning rings. Champions aren't distracted so easily.
There's a difference between not liking your owner and having mass amounts off pressure put on you from the entire world to not play for a racist owner. Every morning our players had to wake up and ask themselves if they were doing the right thing by playing during these controversial times.
You're insane if you think any team before us has had to go through a situation even remotely close to what our team went through.
Would like to have SG that can play both ends of the ball. Move Redick to the 2nd unit. Cut the reins on Crawford.
I'm not convinced we will go into next season with both redick and Crawford.
Worst thing ever to happen in the history of the NBA, IMHO. It shook we fans to the core, think how it affected our team and our organization.
Spot on
I agree. We need another 3 that can play D and shoot the 3 consistently. Barnes did his best on D but he could rarely hit wide open shots consistently.
For the fans. Enjoy this
I never wish any harm on players, but Serge is an exception and a loose cannon and karma is protecting future opponents of Ibaka.
Sheesh. Now imagine if we had won game 5....
Doesn't guarantee we win the series. We need to continue to improve our team, which I have no doubt we will, especially when The Donald gets the boot. That's the biggest improvement by far.
I never wish any harm on players, but Serge is an exception and a loose cannon and karma is protecting future opponents of Ibaka.
With or without Ibaka SA wins. It'll be a repeat of last years title game.
I did not think I would ever get over that Game 5 loss, and now knowing that Ibaka would have been out Game 7, I am even more sure of it.
There is a big difference between responsibility and blame. Was CP responsible for some screw ups, yes. Do I BLAME him? no. Forget refs, DTS and anything else. There is one and only one question, Did He Choke? If he did, acknowledge it and find out why dispassionately because if you don't you can't fix it.It WILL happen again.
This is not blame it's responsibility. The problem when viewed dispassionately could be that CP needs to go --or not but you are not Cliff Paul. Chris is expendable.
But... but... OKC has to get through San Antonio, then Miami... that's about thirty guys... that like, SIXTY testicles... and those nuts aren't going to punch themselves.
If anybody here owns stock in athletic-cup manufacturing companies... SELL, SELL, SELL!!!
I would keep Redick as a starter, regardless of what happens to Crawford. His off-the-ball movement is fantastic, and you're underrating his defense. Is he a defensive stopper? No, but he has good fundamentals.
I don't think it would be a guarantee. The Thunder did backdoor sweep the Spurs in 2012. Neither team is the same as they were back then though.
I feel the same way tbh but I doubt we move Crawford. To me he is fools gold and always has been. If he was at least an average defender I might have considered otherwise but he has Westbrook esque shot selection without the athleticism and he is horrendous defender.
Agree with your points. Blake is the golden child and Chris is the horse they beat down when things go to hell. Understandably he made mistakes in game 5 and he deserved some criticism, but the irrational hatred and people wanting to trade him is pretty sad. You don't realize how good you have things, until their gone.
Since the NBA failed to reprimand Ibaka for that cheap nut shot on Blake, it looks like karma took care of it instead. Seems fair to me.
Man, people need to stop bashing CP. It's just so damn negative and unproductive. If anyone is hard on himself, it's CP. No doubt he'll learn from this experience and be a better player because of it.
Let's move on. Clippers had a good season overall when you consider ALL the injuries. The core group will return under Doc's leadership and will be an even more cohesive group, playing as one team with one goal in mind. Like Doc said, it's a process. Embrace the process and support our team.
They need somebody to hate and Vinny's not here anymore.
All the more reason to move him. Hopefully Doc see it the same way.
Keep his "good" fundamentals with the 2nd unit where they'll need it and he'll make them stronger. Give me that 2 way player as a starter where it'll make a real impact.
CP3 is the Westbrook of the Clippers now apparently.
The only trash that should be talked about is naming the crooked refs by name. Even in the final game, they HAD TO take that DJ bucket away, foul out BG and destroy our comeback. It was total ref destruction.
In close games, between two great teams, if the refs take an active part for one side, game over. You cannot win. The teams are too evenly matched for one team to overcome the disparity.
I will always remember this OKC series as the RefBall series.
This is not sour grapes. IT IS TRUTH.
Sorry, but Redick works MUCH better as a starter than as a bench guy. He's not going to get nearly as many good shots on the bench with Crawford/Collison taking them all, and his off ball movement is invaluable. As I said before, you're vastly underrating his defense.
Also, who is this "2 way player"? Someone who can have a real impact on both offense and defense as a shooting guard usually is someone you'll have to trade for, not someone you can just poach in free agency. In addition, most of these two-way shooting guards that are actually out there are superstars, meaning they likely won't be on the trading block. I'm curious as to who you have in mind, because everyone I can think of (that is starting caliber) won't be available for trade or doesn't fit your standards.
Who's a good 2 way player at the SG spot that we can get?
The Odyssey to Fort Kiowa[edit]
Despite his injuries, Glass regained consciousness. He did so only to find himself abandoned, without weapons or equipment, suffering from a broken leg, the cuts on his back exposing bare ribs, and all his wounds festering. Glass lay mutilated and alone, more than 200 miles (320 km) from the nearest American settlement at Fort Kiowa on the Missouri.
In one of the more remarkable treks known to history, Glass set his own leg, wrapped himself in the bear hide his companions had placed over him as a shroud, and began crawling. To prevent gangrene, Glass laid his wounded back on a rotting log and let the maggots eat the dead flesh.
Deciding that following the Grand River would be too dangerous because of hostile Indians, Glass crawled overland south toward the Cheyenne River. It took him six weeks to reach it.
Glass survived mostly on wild berries and roots. On one occasion he was able to drive two wolves from a downed bison calf, and feast on the meat. Reaching the Cheyenne, he fashioned a crude raft and floated down the river, navigating using the prominent Thunder Butte landmark. Aided by friendly natives who sewed a bear hide to his back to cover the exposed wounds as well as providing him with food and a couple of weapons to defend himself, Glass eventually reached the safety of Fort Kiowa.
After a long recuperation, Glass set out to track down and avenge himself against Bridger and Fitzgerald. When he found Bridger, on the Yellowstone near the mouth of the Bighorn River, Glass spared him, purportedly because of Bridger's youth. When he found Fitzgerald, he discovered that Fitzgerald had joined the United States Army, Glass purportedly restrained himself because the consequence of killing a U.S. soldier was death. However, he did recover his lost rifle.
This is what a champion does with bad calls. He refuses to lose. A bit of hyperbole of course. Ali fought with a broken jaw. Also a bit of interesting history This is the time to chanel the anger at the bad calls into getting mean and finding a way to overcome them.
CP3 is the heart and soul of this team. Iif you don't know this, you're not a real Clipper fan. We live an die with CP3 and he is the main reason why our team has been so successful. If you don't understand this, then you're not a real Clipper fan. CP3 and Blake will lead us to a championship next year. If you don't believe thisGTFO and stop whining and go root for another team!
You might want to blame CP3 for the loss, but you must acknowledge that the main reason we are are successful is because of him.
I don't think you've been on this post or a Clipper fan long enough to pass judgement on who is a fan and who is not. We can disagree without questioning someone's fan-aticism. CTB does not tolerate that stuff. Read the rules. We don't live and die with CP3 or anybody else. We live and die by being the best we can be - period. If you expect one man to lead a team anywhere we're screwed. Bill Russell the real number 6 has more rings than fingers. Someone mentioned to him that a great player makes his team great. He said it was the other way around. A great team makes a player great. The heart and soul of this team is a ring. If CP3 is so invaluable why did we do well on the road without him? There are no heroes only winners and losers.
That period when Chris went down, we played a bunch of bottom feeders and it was the easiest part of our schedule. We never could Indiana, Miami, Golden State, etc. without him. We were usually blown out too.
Uhhh...What? If we don't know CP3 is the heart and soul of this team, we're not "real" clippers fans? I take it you just jumped on the bandwagon to say some blasphemous shyte like that. I've been a Clippers fan since 1991 and I blame CP3 for potentially losing the series for us. CP3 is the highest paid player that we brought in to bring us a championship and ironically enough, he too, hasn't been further than the Clippers.
CP3 is the co-face of this franchise but he is not the heart and soul of this team. Actually, maybe you're right. maybe he is the heart and soul of this team. maybe that might explain how we haven't been past the second round since he's been here. Maybe his heart and soul maxes out in the second round. yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe it's time BG becomes the heart and soul of this team now. At least then, I can justify us getting bounced early and inexperience.
Dude, stop with your "superfan" crap. When you say stupid stuff like that about people's fandom, You'll get called out very easily.
We didn't win against Pacers, Heat, and even GS with him. lol
A few years ago, people said the best point guard in the league was Paul or Deron Williams. Then Rondo popped up onto the radar, then fell off the radar. Westbrook is a great athlete, but not a point guard in the truest sense. Virtually everyone knows that Chris Paul is the best pure point guard in the NBA. It's not his job to score 20 points a game.
It's his job to lead us to wins and he does that very, very well. We have a great player in Blake Griffin to help him. DJ has become a defensive force, but his foul shooting is a big problem. I don't care if he has no low post game. If he can become a 60% foul shooter, that will be good enough.
Our problem, other than Donald Sterling, of course, is at the SG and SF. These are positions that are loaded with great players, both offensively and defensively and we are below average at both positions. Barnes started for us, but ideally is a backup energy guy off the bench. JJ Redick is a shooter and not much else. Crawford, obviously, is a great scorer but neither he nor Redick defends well
If we can upgrade even a little bit at those two spots, we will be the best team in the league.
CP3 can continue being CP3, the best pure PG in the league. The idea that we need to get rid of him is ridiculous Look at teams that have won championships and the talent they have had We still have some holes to fill to get to that level, but CP3 is not one of them.
NBA.com article on this very subject...
http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2014/05/1 ... f:nbahpt3c
Underlying theme: "STFU, all you Skip Cluelesses".
But it was actually competitive. We got blown out without him.
Cool. For a second there, I thought all losses were the same.

Does Doc finally see the lack of frontcourt depth? Pretty sure he has seen it all season but its not that easy to get a competent backup big without giving something up.
I think we will make a trade its just the matter of making the right trade.
Since sports were invented,but you will get arguments that all we have to do is outscore them,who needs defense.
I think no trade because the right person won't be available,no one would want to help us anyway I don't think.
If he does deal and get healthy the bench should overall should see a boost in minutes.
our depth in the frontcourt is non-existent we need at least one back up big hopefully the right move is made..
Can we finally sign a third big now since this is such a concern? Enough wasting roster spots on guys like Sasha.
76ers Believed To Be Most Active Team In Trade Talks
http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/23 ... rade-Talks
(via realgm)
Spencer Hawes or Thaddeus Young anyone?
No way. 76ers want a pick with any deal. Of course, the closer we get to the deadline, the more willing they might be to settle.
We need to make the same type of deal the Lakers did for pao gasol, and IF we get the right guy, we will win at least one, if not two championships like the Lakers did, agreed? I just don't know if ariza is the man or who?
If we could get Ariza it would be perfect, but I don't see what we got to trade for him or anyone else for that matter.
We lack a legend of our franchise (who has endless love for our franchise) in a position of power at another franchise that could gift us such a similar trade.

And that people is how you blow a team out of your homecourt
If there's anything, the lack of a backup 5 was very noticeable for most of the second half, way too many easy layups.
Sasha still good just a little bit rusty but you see he still have the speed and ball handling and good defense for his first game. but that is normal he just play in in his first comeback and still not familiar with Docs play. Same as Turks when he first play with us, give Sasha few more games.
Clippers blowout and the walking dead a perfect night.
Sasha is only going to get garbage minutes, and that's pretty much all he deserves until he can prove otherwise.
Sucks for him, but hopefully he'll see some action late in the Portland game to prove himself. So far... those are Willie's minutes.
Fixed that for you.
Haven't seen that many windmills since I was last in Amsterdam.
Hollins played a great game in my opinion very active and 10/4/2/2 in 18 mins was a nice production. Biggest gripe on Hollins is his fouling at a high rate.
As for the game great energy my main focus and think the team goal should be rest. Would not be upset if Blake only played like 10 mins in the all star game.
I kinda like sasha on the bench..
Is blake ok?
Still think we need to trade CP3. A package somewhere along the lines of Paul George and Marcus Smart sounds good.
uhhhhh, not gonna happen. Neither team would consider this absent something crazy happening.
Say What?
Sometimes, I think some of you here just want trades just because trades are cool and exciting.
If that sounds good to you, then you might be deaf.
Nice jam by collision, letting out some frustration being back on the bench lol
^that was a joke. I was assuming the Marcus Smart reference would give it away, lol.
Thanks for the sarcasm meter checkup. Looks like most of ours are broken today.
Looks like the Warriors tried to match our win against the 76'ers last night. Too bad they were short 2 points and needed more minutes from their starters to do it.

To see as a quick guideline, here is an illustration of the basic areas that I contour. If you think about how sunlight would naturally hit your face, contouring falls where the shadows are so by adding darkness we are in essence bringing out the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
The biggest tip I can give with any contouring is to use a light hand, especially around the nose area. You can always add more if it doesn't show up enough but it is much harder to hide when you've added too much and your nose starts to look dirty instead of slim, sleek, and naturally straight! Also, blend, blend, blend out any harsh edges so it really looks like shadow and isn't distracting.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and that it helps for those of you who were interested in contouring. I really want to make doing these basics lessons a priority since it seems to be one of the most helpful types of tutorials I've done so let me know in the comments if you like them and what basic you'd like to see next!
