Butland, who made his England debut at the end of last season and later played for Great Britain at the Olympics, denied Dean Hammond with a spectacular stop down to his right deep in stoppage time to preserve the 2-2 scoreline in the npower Championship class.
The 19-year-old is attracting attention from a host of clubs, and Clark said: "I hope that save puts another £2million on his value!"
A blunder by Brighton goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak moments earlier had allowed Birmingham to draw level.
Brighton appeared to be heading for their fourth win in January until Kuszczak fumbled a weak close-range header from Nikola Zigic.
Clark had every sympathy for Kuszczak, saying: "It was great for us but unfortunate for the goalkeeper.
"He played particularly well and then he made that mistake. Outfield players make many mistakes and don't get punished. But a keeper makes one and it usually ends up in the goal.
"That is why they have to be strong characters. Obviously my keeper makes a world-class save in injury time to keep it at 2-2. It was absolutely stunning from close range.
"It was brilliant but he was angry after the game about one or two things. He has supreme talent but I love his desire and drive.
"He is not basking in the glory of the save but looking at other aspects of the game and being disappointed in himself and that is why he is going to go all the way to the top."

A bit out of town in a nice neighbourhood. A food market just around the corner, but not the number of restaurants that you'd find downtown. The hostels two dogs are still very playfull and not shy when it comes to making physical contact with anyone entering the house. They are not aggressive at all, but seeking contact. There was no light in one of the two bathrooms on 2nd floor, the toilet in the other bathroom did not flush. The hosts, Ana & her mother - are really welcoming and openminded.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful places where I have been in my trip around Georgia and Armenia. The family that is managing it and that lives there is extremely kind, helpful and cheerful. The place is clean and the relation between the quality and the price is simply stunning. Just go there!

SHAKEN NOT SHATTERED: Finding the Purpose, Passion, and Power to Stand Firm When Your World Falls Apart
by Matthew Hagee, Charisma House 2009.
"No matter who you are, and regardless of what you are going through, you were created in the image of the almighty and unshakable God. The world around you may be trembling, but you have nothing to fear. You were created in the image of a magnificent God, and while life may go through seasons of shaking, nothing in your life needs to shatter." The author uses personal stories and biblical examples to show the reader how to survive and prosper by living fully connected to the power of God.
OFF THE PAGE AND INTO YOUR LIFE: Getting More From God's Word No Matter What Your Story
by Tami Weissert, Authentic Media 2012.
Tami shares the spiritual journeys of seven different women, two of them Grace Brethren, and how the Bible influenced their growth and relationship with the Lord. The stories are powerful – these women have faced real times of crisis. The stories are so diverse that the readers could relate to at least one of them. The study techniques shared are practical and would be easy to apply. The Amazon description says, "The Bible is alive and active and sharper than a two-edged sword. Off the Page and Into Your Life will help readers cut through the clutter and connect with Christ in wonderful new ways."
WHERE THE WIND LEADS: A Refugee Family's Miraculous Story of Loss, Rescue, and Redemption
by Vinh Chung with Tim Downs, Thomas Nelson 2015.
This is the riveting story that describes Vinh and his family's physical and spiritual life journey: living under Communist rule in post-war Vietnam, barely surviving as "boat people" adrift in the South China Sea before being rescued by World Vision's boat Seasweep, and learning about and then living the American Dream as adults. In light of today's world issues, Vinh makes an important distinction between refugees and immigrants. The reader will recognize God's hand of protection and direction on every page.
by Kate McCord (a protective pseudonym), Moody Publishing 2012.
In the midst of a high-powered career Kate left it all, sold everything and went to Afghanistan to start a non-governmental organization with the goal of helping Afghan women. She taught herself the local language, always identified herself as a Jesus-follower and served there for five years. She shares first-hand accounts drawn from her experiences living among these women. Considering what is happening in our world, her ability to let us "see" how totally the religion controls all aspects of life there is fascinating. Once you start reading you will not want to put it down!
THE LIFE OF BILLY KIM: From Houseboy to World Evangelist
by Billy Kim, Moody Publishing 2015.
This is the story of Billy Kim who was "picked at 16, seemingly at random, by an American GI to be their houseboy for their barracks in Korea." The same GI, who wasn't a Christian at the time, paid to get him to America and enrolled in a Christian high school and later university. Billy's roommate led him to the Lord and Billy went on to follow God's leading to become a preacher to millions and an influential global leader for the spread of the Gospel.
by Jan Karon, G. P. Putnam Sons 2014.
Jan Karon once again involves us in the world of Mitford, Father Tim, his wife Catherine, his ever-faithful dog, Barnabas, and all the familiar inhabitants of Mitford. Karon is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of twenty-three books. Those of us who have read the whole Mitford series will feel as though we have returned home to a loved place.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General John Ashcroft Tuesday warned computer users about a new Internet threat that could slow the global network worse than the "Code Red" worm that struck earlier this summer.
Ashcroft said the FBI and private firms are assessing the effects of the program, known as "W32-Nimda," which has affected possibly tens of thousands of computers. As the program spreads, its activity can slow or shut down Internet service for regular users.

Female Assassin concept by GloriousRyanWatch
©2014-2016 GloriousRyan
Started thinking about functional outfits for a female assassin after seeing the new Assassin's Creed Unity trailer taking place in 17th century France. The Assassin's Creed games are kinda lacking in subtlety with the characters running around in bright assassin colors with weapons strapped all over them, and I figured this would be more practical. Also it was fun to paint a pretty dress :3
Wow i like it
Nice work! I could never do something like this :3
try to put high heels for the shoes ! makes her looks more sexy.. good job with the dress ! awesomee as always
Insta-killer! I love it!
Beautiful!! Such a lovely design!!!!
I really like the hidden, battle-ready design under the innocent citizen dress.
I wish there was a more realized stealth mechanic in Assassin's Creed! It'd be neat to have to trade armor and weapons for stealth. Always ruined immersion when I would casually sit on a bench and the guards would run around like idiots wondering where I went. As if they can't see the guy in bright white and red with 10 swords, axes, and knives strapped to his torso!
Pretty concept. She looks elegant yet maintains an assassin look.

I have a Flickr Pro account and would like to sync it with all my photos. This is hoped to be a way to backup all my photos in an online repository.
So I need a tool that will watch a folder and then sync changes. I would love it if it kept sets up to date on Flickr with the subfolders on my computer. I am not concerned with syncing tags, etc from Flickr.
I am happy to pay for it and I can use either a PC or a Mac. (I am using Microsoft Live Sync to keep the PC and the Mac the same).

I have a question about getting my content back to the new wordpress blog.
I used since last year version 2.0.1 and used for almost a year, so there was quite some posts etc. on it. Now I moved 1 month ago to a new web provider, and I only saved/backupped the complete 'WORDPRESS' directory with my FTP programm.
I installed the actual wordpress version to my new provider webspace/new database, and then I uploaded the old (backupped) WP Directory in order to overwrite the new one (apart from the wp_config.php). I thought that all my posts and comments and stuff are in that old backupped directory, but they don't shop up?
Please can someone tell me if the stuff is lost or I just didn't do something right....I'm afraid that I should have made a backup of the tables on the database, but please tell me it's not that!
Well I'm just posting cause I still hope that you guys have another solution or idea where my content is!
Thanks & hope to have a reply soon!

"Euro Metal Tour 2003", the Scandinavian dance/metal extravaganza staged by Swedish eurodance star E-TYPE and his current backing band, which includes MOTÖRHEAD drummer Mikkey Dee and ex-HUMANIMAL/GREAT KING RAT guitarist Pontus Norgren, had a successful kick-off last weekend at Valand in Gothenburg and is presently making its way to other parts of Sweden. Check out a band photo here and live photos from the Gothenburg gig here.As previously reported, the two-month trek, which will see the group perform "thundering heavy metal" versions of all the biggest E-TYPE dance hits, will run through early March. E-TYPE has been one of the country's most successful artists over the past decade, with record sales in the million range. E-TYPE (real name Martin Eriksson) himself was a metal drummer in the Eighties, playing with the thrash/power metal combo HEXENHAUS. Now he has decided to return to his roots by turning his eurodance songs into guitar-laden heavy metal numbers and performing them live.

I recently installed this plug-in and it's working great, except I don't see a difference in the background scaling when I choose 'Cover' versus 'Flex'. I use dual monitors, one of which is a 15" laptop. The other is a 23" LCD screen.
On the 15", the registration link on the bottom falls into the bottom border of the background, which is fine. On the larger monitor, however, the registration and forgot password links fall outside of the screen. I'm not sure why this is happening. I want the background to be dynamic enough to adjust (keeping its ratios) depending on the end user's screen size.
Any suggestions on this?

Creating Our Robot Overlords: Autonomous Drone Development with Java and the Internet of Things [CON1863]
Tuesday, Sep 30, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM - Hilton - Continental Ballroom 4
Who wants a mindless drone? Teach it to "think," and it can do so much more. But how do you take it from Toy Story to Terminator? This session's speakers discuss their new open source library, Autonomous4j, for autonomous drone development. Combining this library and some components from their mad science toolkit, they demonstrate how to get your Internet of Things off the ground and do some real cloud computing. In the session, you'll learn how to write an autonomous drone program with Java 8; deploy it to the drone's "positronic brain," an onboard Raspberry Pi; have the Pi guide an AR.Drone to accomplish a task; monitor it via a JavaFX console; and create your own robot overlord. Demos are included: you've been warned!
With Jim Weaver & Sean Phillips
James Gosling recently stated that "being able to debug and profile robots out at sea is a truly life-altering experience." He uses a set of tools—consisting of editors, debuggers, and profilers—that are part of the NetBeans IDE. In this session, Gosling and other speakers introduce you to these tools and show you how easily and quickly you can program and interact with devices via Java tools. Come see how well integrated embedded devices are with the Java ecosystem.
With Geertjan Wielenga, Jens Deters, José Pereda, & James Gosling
Using NetBeans and the bundled GlassFish application server, the speakers present each new concept with live code and then help attendees complete hands-on exercises.

Skip to comments.Man credits concealed carry weapon for saving two lives(WI)
Posted on 03/27/2012 5:24:57 PM PDT by marktwain
MILWAUKEE A would-be victim says his concealed carry gun was the reason a criminals intentions were stopped cold. He says investigators told him its possible the man who tried to rob him Saturday night could have robbed others this weekend.
Saturday night, March 24th, Danny Black and his girlfriend Julie took the dogs out for a walk. Seven-year-old golden-doodle Chloe was along for the stroll when Black says another person interrupted.
The two were confronted by the driver of a van in the area of 73rd and Courtland. Worrisome words quickly turned into threatening actions. Black says the driver was armed, and tried to rob the two. He was saying to her, give me the bag, give me the bag. It was a semi-automatic and he clicked it like he was loading it, Black said.
Black says his heart began to pound, but it wasnt the adrenaline that helped him through. He credits his own firearm. Black has a concealed carry permit, but hoped to never even threaten to use his weapon in public. Me pulling a gun out saved both of our lives last night. I pointed the gun at him and he said, what was I doing, and just drove off, Black said.
Black says hes all too aware in a different scenario, pulling out a gun against another gunman could have greatly escalated the violence. Im just happy with the way it turned out. I dont ever want to be in that situation again, Black said.
Black says this incident should serve as a reminder to Wisconsin criminals that the victims they target may no longer be as defenseless as they may have been before the concealed carry law took effect in the state. There are thousands of people like me, carrying guns, so them looking for easy targets thats all over now. Thats not going to happen anymore, Black said.
FOX6 News contacted Milwaukee police for comment on this story, but they did not return our email. Its unclear at this time whether anyone is in custody in connection with this incident.
I have been taught in my jurisdiction that you should ONLY pull out a concealed handgun if you feel that your life is in danger or the life of someone else is in danger. My training was that ff you pull out your concealed carry handgun it should be only because you NEED to kill someone to save your life or the life of another person. Otherwise, it stays concealed.
The actions and statements by this person could be used in a court of law (in some jurisdictions) against him as proof that he was not in a deadly force confrontation(i.e. because he didn't shoot) and he was the person who escalated the confrontation by pulling out a handgun (even after the bad guy had his firearm out).
This also is a good example of why you never talk to the media after a potential deadly force confrontation.
If one has a CCL, then you need to understand when deadly force can be used.
If I had seen the gun, and saw the man attempting to get a round in the chamber, and I understood that he was using the gun to rob me, I would have pulled out my gun and started shooting. Period.
Agreed. Pulling it without firing might have been the only way to de-escalate the situation. By the way, I was IN this exact situation.
I understand, and have heard the reasoning behind "the only time you pull it, is when you intend to use it". I'm just not sure I agree with it.
I just realized that I didn't respond entirely correct to your comment. I said "Agreed", and then proceeded to support what this man did (which I do, as he managed to end the attempt w/o any shots fired.)
Of course, it goes without saying you should be prepared to fire in case it does escalate, but let me ask this: Why do officers pull weapons without firing? (that was rhetorical, as we all know it's too intimidate). And I'm NOT arguing legal tactics here, just the thought process.
The most effective way to stop a deadly attack is to use deadly force, but the force is only justified in order to stop the attack, not to kill the attacker. It's only a coincidence of human physiology that the most effective means of stopping the attacker can so easily lead to the death of the attacker. The death of the attacker is never a justified goal apart from stopping the attack.
Your statement would be better worded, "... only because you need to stop someone ..."
I also understand that some use weapons to intimidate.
The laws (in my jurisdiction) as I have learned them, make brandishing a crime.
The sad truth is that depending on the police who investigate and the DA who determines if charges are filed, justice and what is fair have little to do with whether a person who tries to defend themself will spend time in jail awaiting trial.
My comments were that based on my training in my jurisdiction what the person did, risked his life and freedom.
Getting a CCL is a very personal decision and one with huge responsibility. One needs to know the consequences and potential outcomes of a life and death confrontation, which is what happens when you pull a firearm from concealment.
I think that the policy of "shoot to live" and only when no other safe option is available, is the best approach.
You are right. If in shooting the attacker the attack is safely stopped, there is no need to "execute" the attacker. However, the moment the firearm is drawn from concealment, there should be no hesitation to shoot and the shoot placement should not be a wounding shot nor a warning shot, but a shot that will immediately stop the attack, which is usually a shot to an area that would normally be fatal.
You're kidding right? When a criminal points a gun at you while demanding your property that not only makes it lawful to draw your weapon, it makes it lawful to shoot the criminal and there is no jury in America that would find differently if the victim is legally carrying a weapon.
That's pretty much it. I was taught to fire two rounds to center-of-mass and then, if the attack continues, a round between the eyes.
Physiologically, what stops an attack is damage to the attackers blood circulation or central nervous system.
Two shots to the chest with a suitable caliber will damage the circulation system of the attacker sufficient to lower blood pressure almost immediately and result in unconsciousness. The follow-up round, in the case that the attack continues, is designed to disable the central nervous system of the attacker. A common reason for needing the follow-up is that the person is wearing body armor of some type.
I agree about not talking to the media, other than that you are just plain wrong, unless of course you live in NYC or some such place. A thug brandishing a gun, demanding your property has already spiked the threat meter. If he shot the bad guy as he was driving away then he well may be in trouble.
You're right. I'm not waiting for him to shoot first just so it will be fair. If someone threatens me with a gun he relinquishes all rights to fairness.
I don't doubt he would have used it, but the driver disengaged and drove away. Try defending yourself from that in court, firing on a guy driving away.
He was not brandishing. Brandishing is taking out your gun for a non-valid reason.
Pelvic/groin shots are good too.
You are dead wrong. I have pointed my gun without shooting 4 times in my life, each time stopped the attact. I know when I HAVE to shoot. Hopefully I will never need to. Once was a guy trying to kick in my motel door in Houston. I opened it with my 45 ACP pointed at his face. He said "I think I have the wrong room" and ran. White guy, by the way. Another was a guy halfway in my bedroom window in Amarillo (early 70's, no air conditioning). Large black gentleman. I cocked my Ruger Super Blackhawk in his face. Disappeared very quickly.
:: There are thousands of people like me ::
I am Sparti-Wessoni-cus!
: the only time you pull it, is when you intend to use it. Im just not sure I agree with it ::
My take: Drop your weapon and lay down with your hands spread. IF YOU DON'T, I WILL SHOOT YOU.
Pretty straight forward and "protective" of the perp. No compiance means ventilation.
Well, .... pelvic or groin WOUND is good, especially if it hits the abdominal aorta or one of the femoral arteries and makes a big enough wound. A wound in the heart would almost certainly rob the brain of oxygen in mere seconds. A large enough wound to the main arteries or veins of the lungs will lower blood pressure quickly.
Notice that I said "wounds" and not "shots". Under the stress of a deadly attack, with an attacker who may be moving, while attempting to move oneself in order to minimize chances of being hit, the best strategy for making any of these wounds in an attacker is to aim for center-of-mass.
If one were to aim for the groin and the shot goes low, the attacker may actually escape being wounded at all if the round goes between his legs.
The thoracic cavity is rich in large arteries and veins. Most people don't realize that the abdominal aorta is a pipe which is about twice the diameter of a garden hose. Put some holes in it and the attacker will quickly lose the ability to continue the attack.
Movies and TV make it appear as if a gun is a magic wand. Shoot someone and they immediately fall over unconscious. Some people when wounded will immediately lose interest in attacking. Others who are more disciplined or who are under the influence of drugs, can continue the attack despite having taken several rounds, even if the wounds will eventually prove fatal.
I remember an old detective movie with Dan Blocker (Hoss from the Bonanza series) having somebody point a small caliber handgun at him. I think he laughed and said, "You've got to be kidding!".
The point was that a man built like Blocker might be killed by several rounds from a small handgun, but that it was very likely that Blocker would have been able to close on the shooter and break the shooter's neck with his bare hands before suffering much in the way of ill effects.
The infamous shoot-out of the FBI with two well-disciplined and well-armed bank robbers demonstrated that bad guys can suffer many wounds and still have the ability to kill the good guys.
If you are attacked and can run away, then run away. Otherwise, make use of cover or concealment and use whatever force you have available to stop the attack. Running away is always the preferred option because the outcome of a gun battle is always uncertain. It's poor consolation to stop the attacker if one ends up dead.
I can't speak for all departments and all officers. That being said, when I pulled my weapon without firing, it was not to intimidate someone. It was for officer safety.
In high risk vehicle stops, I would pull my weapon. So what is a high risk vehicle stop? It is one where the officer has reason to believe the person he is stopping is wanted for a violent felony, or for fleeing the scene of a crime in which a felony just occurred. Some of these would be crimes like murder, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, residential burglary, and forcible rape. Or, if a firearm was displayed during a disturbance, but not fired, I would still have pulled my weapon even if the crime was not a felony. In a situation not involving a vehicle stop, like searching a residence or commercial building when a burglary suspect was believed to still be present, I would pull my weapon.
I made a lot of felony arrests without drawing my weapon. Some of these arrests were for probable cause or warrants for crimes like grand theft, felony domestic violence, residential burglary, forgery, narcotics violations, auto theft, and people wanted for parole violations.
I know there are people who are going to read this and pounce, with what if, what if, what if etc. Situations vary. A felony suspect can be arrested sometimes without the use of a firearm, and at other times a firearm is pulled for officer safety.
I offered that as an alternative to a head shot. Like in case you could'nt get a clear shot there. Besides you mentioned wearing a vest, and generally the groin area is unshielded, has arteries and might cause the perp not to be able to advance towards you if you hit certain internals.
Plus if you aim high, you have a better chance at hitting his torso. Aim high on a head shot and you hit nothing.
Wisconsin Concealed Carry ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
You can usually walk away faster than he can crawl after you.
If you shoot in the chest, it can easily take 10-30 seconds for the shot/shots to have a perceptible effect.
The mere showing of the weapon is enough to deescalate the situation in 90-95 percent of the cases. Most criminals do not want to be shot.
Just because you have justification to shoot does not mean that it is always a good idea.
Arizona passed a "defensive display" law expressly to allow a person to show that they are armed, without the risk of prosecution for showing their weapon.
About 20 years ago, I read Masaad Ayoob's "In The Gravest Extreme." in which IIRC he was walking out into a dark parking lot, and a couple of people seemed to be hanging around the area of his vehicle. By taking his gun out and holding it down along his side in a non-threatening location while walking, the potential muggers just seemed to disappear. Nobody was hurt. The right people were warned.
Robbers, muggers, burglars -- they will pick a more compliant target -- they don't want hassle, armed or not. But every situation is different.
Don't dogs usually give you a warning before you get close enough for them to bite you? A "grrrr" or a yap? Here's a link to some talk on this:
What was the dog doing while all that was happening?

I am a .NET developer, and I don't have dandruff. The company I work for uses C++ Builder 6. We've been developing native code since conception. Our flagship product is written completely in native code.
Enters the .NET Framework with lovely bells, whistles, fluffy bunnies and cudly kittens. I fall, hook, line and sinker. I convince management that .NET should absolutely be our new framework for all new software development and that we should start migrating our existing codeline ASAP. With all the benefits it doesn't take much convincing. They accept my proposal as usual.
At this point I start developing my very first .NET application. It's all going as planned. The project is only one component of our product. And so I get to the point of creating an installer for this new component. As a company we pride ourselves in making things for the user as easy as possible. Even Microsoft with thousands of developers don't create installers like we do. When you install Microsoft CRM for instance, you will only get a list of failures and prerequisites that needs installing before you can continue. Not us. Never. If you need something, we will install it for you. Imagine that.
Us, launching the EXE, for you...
This makes our installations feel so easy. .NET Framework not installed? No problem! We'll do it for you. Need SQL Native client? Fine!
The issue is this, now that one single component of our solution is written in .NET, it complicates the installation process incredibly. Before I can even get to installing our product, I need to do the following:
Detect whether the prerequisite is installed
Install it if it isn't
Verify that it was installed successfully
Next prerequisite
To install .NET Framework, I need the Windows Installer 4.5 first. But there are different versions for the different OSes, so I add OS detection and launch the correct EXE. Oh, .NET framework is already packaged with 2k8 and the installer exe cannot run on it, you have to run OCSetup.exe with parameters to install it. Sigh.
And so it carries on. Then SQL Express 2005 needs to be installed. The dependencies increase once again.
I argue with management that even Microsoft don't make it this easy for the user. Their response is that there is no reason for us to not be better than them in this way. I can't argue with that except that I feel that there are very good reasons they've gone with their approach.
Suddenly, our installer is massive. All the prerequisites for .NET, not even talking about 64 bit support which has a whole seperate range of EXEs to install. So now it gets to the point where we want users to be able to download a "quick" evaluation. What a joke. You need to download 500MB to get a 30MB application running. The majoritiy of the installation package is prerequisites.
Management feels that we have too many dependancies/prerequisites. I understand completely. They suggest we move away from the .NET framework, back into native land where things were still "easy" in terms of installation. This is where the one part of me wants to stand up for .NET explaining the benefits in the big picture, the improved development experience, easier maintenance and overall code quality. The other part of me agrees with them wholeheartedly! Developing in .NET simply requires you to install too many other prerequisites which complicates the installation.
Yes, some of the .NET advocates will claim that everything should be installed on a patched and updated operating system. This is true, but not all customers have this, and simply saying "I'm sorry, update first" just won't cut it. Remember, we pride ourselves in the overall user experience.
We are now considering writing native code again and I know we're losing in terms of development speed and all the goodies of .NET. But we are gaining in this area, be it small if you look at the big picture or not. As we have native code development skills and .NET is actually new ground for us, it even makes sense to move back.
My question, eventually, is this, what is your company's view on this issue if it even is an issue at all and what will the business case look like that I propose to management assuming I want to continue migrating all our products to .NET?

Faisal Kutty is a divisive character in the ongoing battle between civil liberty advocates and the federal government in Canada.

Among political enemies, Kutty has been labeled a radical Islamist.
Tackling Islamophobia on campus
Sirag Syed, the vice-president of university affairs for the Student Association at Durham College and UOIT, is one of the organizers of an upcoming conference on Islamophobia. The college and university campus has seen its fair share of Islamophobia, with references to terrorist group ISIS vandalizing club posters for Muslin and Arab groups on campus, as well as campaign posters for nominees in the recent student elections.

|Ray to Bulls rumor swirls again
|02.04.10 at 12:52 pm ET
The Chicago Sun-Times put out the rumor that the Bulls and Celtics could get together on a deal that would send Ray Allen to Chicago for a package that includes Kirk Hinrich, Tyrus Thomas and Jerome James. That's a deal that has been speculated about before, but it doesn't seem like it would be a good match for the Celtics.
Thomas and James are both in the final years of their contracts. While James is essentially a non-factor, Thomas does have intriguing ability, but throughout his career he has been more potential than production. Hinrich is a player who has received lots of interest around the league because of his abilities and also because the Bulls would like to move his contract, which has two years left after this one, to create more cap space in the summer.
It has long been speculated that the Bulls will make a run at Chicago native Dwyane Wade. If they can clear Hinrich's contract, they could have the space to go after two prime free agents.
Hinrich could help the Celtics, certainly. He is a solid playmaker and a good defender who can guard multiple positions. He is having a down shooting season, however, and would not be a viable replacement for Allen in that regard. The Celtics could get creative and try to work out a deal for Hinrich alone involving a combination of their other expiring contracts — Brian Scalabrine, Tony Allen, Eddie House, etc.–but probably not at the cost of Allen.
Doc Rivers had some interesting comments about this Thursday on his weekly appearance with Dennis & Callahan (click here for a full transcript).
"The thing that's happening right now is everybody's trying to give away their [expiring contracts] to those same teams and those same teams are trying to get a bargain," Rivers said. "Eventually the trade stuff will end up, I don't think with us, but around the league everybody's trying to take advantage of everybody."
In other words, the trade market has not yet fully taken shape. Teams are still in the feeling-out process. In regards to Allen, both Rivers and Danny Ainge have stated the team's position, which is: They will listen to offers for Allen, but it will have to be a great deal for the Celtics for them to pull the trigger.
While the Hinrich rumor makes some sense in the abstract, it doesn't appear to satisfy those requirements for the Celtics.
|Rivers on D&C: 'I'll take us against anybody'
|02.04.10 at 10:38 am ET
Doc Rivers joined the guys on Dennis & Callahan to talk about Rajon Rondo's comments, whether he'll ask Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to sit out the All-Star Game and which team he likes in the Super Bowl.
Compared to Christmas Day when you beat Orlando and now when you're struggling, give us an overview of where you are?
We didn't play well in January. We had some pretty special circumstances, and so I don't take my eye off of that. You lose Paul Pierce going out west and you lose Kevin Garnett out west, it's tough to win. So I keep that in perspective. I also understand that we've lost two games not playing great basketball to two of the best teams in the league by one final shot. So, the way I look at it, I like our team a lot. And, if we can get healthy, which I think we will at some point, I'll take us against anybody.
Can you project or assume that this team will get healthy?
It is. It's not like our injuries, minus Kevin … our injuries could happen to anybody playing basketball. [Nineteen-year-old] Brandon Jennings, if someone falls on his ankle the way someone fell on Paul Pierce's ankle, he's going to be injured. That's just part of the game. That has nothing to do with Paul Pierce's age. That has to do with Paul Pierce getting in the wrong spot at the wrong time. You know, it happens. But I do think we will get healthy and I think we'll be OK.
What do you make of Rajon Rondo's assertion that there are too many agendas creeping in?
I think Rondo was repeating, and I said it [Wednesday], basically what I told the team about three weeks ago. It was almost exactly my speech to the team. The agendas that we were talking about was more focus agendas. We are heading into the All-Star break, guys are focused on making the All-Star team. Guys are focused on going on the break, it's just too much stuff. Not enough thought about basketball.
Did it hurt you on the floor?
I think it bothers every team. I was making a statement that this is the dog days. It happens to every team. You look at all the team during that stretch, you struggle a little bit. When we were going through that, with the injuries that were happening at the same time, my point was we need better focus to get through this. Read the rest of this entry »
|NBA Power Rankings 2/4
|02.04.10 at 9:47 am ET
1. (1): LeBron James won last season's MVP, and he's a better player this year. His 23-point first quarter against the Clippers was ridiculous. If he ever develops a turnaround or a 4-man's post game, there will be no way of guarding him.
2. (2): Is there any LA fan who really believes Kobe is the best Laker ever? Really? He scores more than any Laker in history, and that makes him the best? Wow.
3. (3): The moral of the Chauncey Billups story: patience. By the time he was 25, he already had played for four teams. He's an All-Star again this year. He always had what it took, he just didn't have people who were willing to wait for it.
4. (8): Stan Van Gundy drives his players crazy, even after they had a heart-to-heart about him being a kinder, gentler coach. He may be annoying, but he knows what he's doing. Put this roster in many other coaches' hands and their win total goes down by five or six.
5. (7): The Jazz have talked about moving Carlos Boozer for as long as the Suns have talked about trading Amar'e Stoudemire. Would they do it now, playing this well?
|Ray to Rondo: 'This could be your last shot'
|02.04.10 at 12:34 am ET
Ray Allen had a very simple message for his backcourt teammate before Wednesday's game against Miami.
"I told [Rajon] Rondo earlier, I said this could be his last shot," Allen said. "I told him, 'You've got 10, 12-plus years left in the NBA, you're making great money but this could be yours.
"I told him I went to the Eastern Conference finals in Milwaukee and the next year we just assumed we're going to get back and we didn't make the playoffs. So, it's not guaranteed because you did it once or twice. It's never guaranteed. So, we have to be very selfish about really wanting to be good now and really taking care of our bodies, making sure we hold each other accountable. And doing it in a good way."
Allen and Rondo have been the focal point this week of trade rumors and locker room chemistry questions. But Allen made it clear following a 107-102 win over the Heat that he wants to go to battle with Rondo and the rest of the Celtics.
"Believe me, there's not a better group of guys that I think are capable right now," Allen said. "I'm not looking at our record (31-16), although our record is not too shabby. We have guys here, a roster than can win it."
[Click here to hear what Allen had to say about wanting to stay with Rondo and his team]
More to the point, Allen sounded like a man who wants desperately to keep the relationships he's forged over the last three seasons.
"All of these guys in this locker room are my brothers and I'm going to proceed forward that this could be it for all of us and we have to treat this season very specially and know that what comes out of it is what we want to come out of it, and that's a championship," he said.
|Fast Break: Celtics vs. Heat
|02.03.10 at 10:57 pm ET
Without Paul Pierce in the lineup, the question facing the Celtics Wednesday night was, "Who will stop Dwyane Wade?" By the end of the game, the biggest question was, "Why couldn't the Heat stop Rajon Rondo?"
Rondo recorded yet another double-double with 22 points and 14 assists. His efforts, combined with 23 points from Ray Allen, 14 from Kevin Garnett, and 13 from Kendrick Perkins, were enough to overshadow Wade's 30-point, 13-assist performance.
The Celtics beat the Heat, 107-102, to improve to 31-16.
Player of the Game: With the Celtics without their leading scorer, Eddie House stepped up off the bench to score 16 points. House contributed one of his best overall performances of the season — 5-for-9 from the field, 2-for-4 on threes, 4-for-4 from the free-throw line, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. This spark helped fill the void left by Pierce.
Turning Point: After the Celtics saw their 1o-point lead shrink to 2, House scored five quick points to reclaim control of the game.
'¢With less than 40 seconds to go and the Celtics leading 97-94, Tony Allen stole the ball from Wade and drew a foul on the fast break. This put him at the line to push the Celtics lead up to five points and ice the win.
'¢The Celtics improved to 3-3 without Pierce this season.
'¢Both teams shot well in this game. The Celtics shot 49 percent while the Heat were consistent for 52 percent.
'¢None of the Heat starters grabbed more than five boards. Udonis Haslem lead them with 8 off the bench. The Celtics outrebounded them 41-31. Both teams scored 44 points in the paint.
'¢The C's lead the regular season series with the Heat, 3-1.
|Ray Allen: 'Anything Can Happen'
|02.03.10 at 10:32 pm ET
Ray Allen has been around long enough to know anything is possible.
When Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge called a meeting with Allen, the veteran was appreciative of the organization's efforts to keep him in the loop with the trading deadline approaching.
Even though Allen had disciplined himself to ignore the rumors, they are hard to avoid when an expiring contract has made him the focal point of rumors floating around the NBA circuit. The most talked-about report had Golden State interested in sending Monta Ellis to Boston in exchange for Allen.
Because of this, Ainge wanted to clear the air. He met with Allen and his family for half-an-hour at the Celtics training facility on Tuesday in Waltham.
'We talked yesterday and he just wanted me to know that he hasn't done anything or tried anything to seek out a trade,' Allen told WEEI.com prior to Wednesday's Celtics-Heat game. 'He just, based off of what he feels that we've done for the organization on and off the floor, he was like I just owe it to you so that you know there's nothing that's been done on my behalf. It's just teams inquiring, natural NBA business.'
[Click here to hear what Ray Allen said about all of the rumors swirling and his meeting with Ainge.]
Ainge reiterated to WEEI's Big Show on Wednesday that he has not had any conversations regarding a trade that would move Allen. He felt it was unlikely that the Celtics would find a deal that would help them with a title both this season and in the future. Their priority, Ainge said, is winning now.
And besides, they like having Allen on the court.
'We want Ray,' Ainge said. 'We think Ray is a huge part of our winning a championship this year.'
Allen does not doubt the Celtics appreciation of his game and contributions to the Boston community. In addition to his Ray of Hope Foundation, the Allens became heavily involved with the Joslin Diabetes Center after their son Walker was diagnosed in 2008.
At the same time, there is a reality of the game. While Ainge said the Celtics have not actively sought out a trade nor have they been 'anywhere near or had any discussion,' that does not mean they wouldn't entertain talks either.
After 14 years in the league, Allen understands how it works.
'I really understand that this is a business and I got traded when I was the least one to be traded when I was in Milwaukee. So anything can happen. Anything can happen,' Allen said. 'There's nobody that's really untouchable in this league, so I appreciated his candidness, letting me know and letting my wife know, and my boys were in the office running around. You always hate to see people do business behind your back and kind of not keep you alert, so it just spoke volumes of who he is and as a GM doing his job.
'But, you know, he still could. I don't know. It depends on what is thrown out there. So it's not that I worry about it. It's a business. My job still has to be done the same.'
|Third Quarter Wrap: Celtics vs. Heat
|02.03.10 at 10:07 pm ET
The Celtics led by as many as seven points in the quarter, but every time they began to put some distance between them and Miami, the Heat came right back. With the score tied at 74-74, this game looks like it will go right down to the wire.
Rajon Rondo scored eight of his team-high 20 points in the quarter, while Dwyane Wade matched Rondo with eight of his own.
The action came midway through the quarter after Wade got knocked the floor on a long rebound. The Heat players felt that Kendrick Perkins had fouled Wade and Jermaine O'Neal and Rafer Alston got called for technicals.
Turnovers have once again been a problem for the Celtics. They have 14 after three quarters.

RadicalMentoring.com sets expectations high with testimonials like "God changed my life through this program" and "It saved my marriage!" Fortunately, pastors whose churches lack lay leadership (and cash) will find much value here. The site offers tools that, in the right hands, can be used to train a group of leaders committed to discipling others.
The Radical Mentoring program was developed in 2010 by Regi Campbell, an entrepreneur and elder at Andy Stanley's North Point Church in Alpharetta, Georgia. Campbell hopes to eliminate a strictly "one-on-one" view of mentoring. Instead, mentors meet monthly with discipleship groups for a year. Between meetings, mentees are given books to read, homework assignments to complete, and verses to memorize.
This program isn't for slackers. One lesson plan suggests, "If someone is late … force them to walk in and take their seat in silence. Let them feel the pain without … overtly embarrassing them." Radical Mentoring demands accountability. The idea is that if participants are held to a higher standard, they will rise to meet (and exceed) expectations.
The regimen may be intense, but mentors will find lesson planning surprisingly simple. The site offers suggestions on group formation and meeting preparation. Then mentors can choose from 25 lessons, each of which includes an introductory video and PDF download. Handouts are print-ready, and each lesson is already scheduled down to the minute.
You'll have to buy your own books (a new one each month). These books aren't supplemental; they make up the bulk of each lesson's content. It's a one-time investment if you buy a church set, but it does feel like opening a Christmas gift and reading, "Batteries not included."
Also, with major sections like "Fatherhood" and homework assignments that recommend increasing physical contact with your wife and kids, the program is designed for married males only. The site says they're working on a track for "single guys," but if you're hoping to mentor women in your congregation, you'll have to visit their sister site, Titus2MentoringWomen.com.—Kyle Rohane
Gray Matters
Navigating The Space Between Legalism and Liberty
By Brett McCracken (Baker Books, 2013)
The Facts: "Christians have a hard time with nuance. Gray areas are not our strong suit." So says Brett McCracken in Gray Matters. McCracken has a point. When it comes to popular culture, we often struggle with balancing engagement and discernment. It is much easier to say "yes" or "no" to things and far less satisfactory to say "maybe" or "sometimes," even if those are wiser answers. This book explores four of the most complex, and divisive, categories of culture we consume: food, music, movies, and alcohol. It does not defend all culture nor categorically condemn it. The book seeks to help Christians learn how to be discerning consumers of culture so that we can truly appreciate God's creativity and glory in it.
The Slant: McCracken is a journalist, movie reviewer, and self-described foodie who travels widely. All this contributes to his keen sense of popular culture. And as someone who grew up in the church, he brings an insider's understanding of the Christian sub-culture. Gray Matters is an effort to close the divide between the two by equipping readers to think more carefully about culture while demonstrating greater sensitivity toward fellow believers. McCracken meticulously explores the divisive aspects of popular culture and strikes a balance between mindless acceptance and reactionary rejection. He asks readers to rest in the gray areas, no matter how uncomfortable it may be, for the sake of honoring God and loving each another.—Barnabas Piper

Today's project is another from the one and only Michael Crump and is another example of creating a button in your Kinect application (Kinect Buttons was the first I highlighted). I found it interesting and cool how Michael leveraged the code from Jelly bean. Got to love the view when standing on the shoulders of giants...
The official Kinect SDK has been out for a while now and I haven't seen many people actually doing "how-to" post to get others started developing for it. I decided that I would help kick-start the movement by creating a series called, "Kinecting the Dots". This is going to be a series of blog posts covering questions or concerns that I've seen in the community. I am planning on answering questions so if you have one that you want answered then please contact me by using the form above.
First a few post by me that will help you get started developing for Kinect. I highly recommend the first one.
The busy developers guide to the Kinect SDK Beta
3 Incredibly Useful Projects to jump-start your Kinect Development.
How do you get create a button that can be used in your Kinect Applications? I would like my users to be able to interact with it inside of the application.
There are a lot of ways you can implement a custom button that your user can interact with in a Kinect Application. The one that we are going to do today is part of the Coding4Fun Kinect Toolkit. This toolkit provides a button called "Hover Button". The only problem is that some people can't figure it out because it does not have any documentation.
