VIDEO: Top plays from Friday's action
Swaggy P goes primetime | Down goes Davis | Nets' patience running short | Pistons snap 13-game skid
No. 1: Swaggy P goes primetime — Last night in San Antonio with the Lakers in town, all eyes were on Kobe Bryant, who entered the night 31 points from passing Michael Jordan for third on the NBA's all-time scoring list. But during the pursuit of the record — and one day after Kobe publicly criticized his teammates while the media was at practice — something interesting happened: The Lakers knocked off the Spurs in overtime for their second straight win. And while Bryant finished with 22 points, the game-winning bucket came from Nick "Swaggy P" Young, who, according to ESPN's Baxter Holmes, fully enjoyed the moment…
Nick Young is all jokes, all the time. But Friday, after playing the surprise role of hero in an overtime win here against the San Antonio Spurs, the quirky Los Angeles Lakers guard turned his cartoonish personality all the way up.
Exhibit A, referencing his remarkable, go-ahead 30-footer with 7.4 seconds left in a 112-110 victory, a highly contested prayer of a heave that turned AT&T Center silent:
"Once it left my hand, I kind of knew it was cash," Young said. "I'm like, 'I don't miss.' That's my new name — 'I.D.M.' Call me 'I.D.M.' You feel me?"
Exhibit B, referencing his game and season-high 29 points off the bench on 9-for-14 shooting, including 6-for-9 from 3-point range:
"Man, you know, I've just got to do what I've got to do when I've got to do it," Young said. "So basically, I'm just doing what I've got to do every time that I step on the court to do what I've got to do. You feel me?"
Then Young offered more not-so-veiled remarks — hard truths and backhanded compliments, if you will, that made it once again difficult to tell when exactly he's joking and when he isn't.
Such as here:
"I'm glad I had a chance to hit a game-winner with somebody like Kobe [Bryant] on the floor, who normally has the ball in his hands all the time," Young said.
Or here, when he nodded to Bryant's chase of Michael Jordan for third place on the all-time scoring list (Bryant stood 31 points shy of passing Jordan entering Friday):
"No offense to Kobe, but I didn't think I was going to get the ball that much [Friday]," Young said. "I thought he was going to break that record — at least get 40 or 50 [points]. With all the cameras that were around, I didn't think I was going to get the ball that much."
Young, known as "Swaggy P," in a nationally televised game indeed stole the spotlight away from Bryant, who many expected would gun for Jordan's record. Instead, Bryant shot 7-of-22 from the field and scored 22 points, leaving him nine shy of passing Jordan's total (32,292).
"It's going to come," Bryant said of the milestone.
But the fun-loving Young also touched on Bryant's trash-talking tirade in practice Thursday, when Bryant called his teammates "soft," comparing them to Charmin toilet paper, among other things.
"When I'm out there, I don't play like Charmin," Young said. "I like Scott Tissue. It's a little rougher."
No. 2: Down goes Davis — One of the most versatile players early this season has been New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, who has averaged a double-double and established himself as an MVP contender even with the Pelicans hovering around the .500 mark. But early in the first quarter last night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Davis went down with what is being called a "chest contusion." While the Pelicans managed to hang on for the win without Davis, they obviously need to get him back if they want to continue to fight for a playoff spot. As John Reid writes…
Despite Friday's win, the focus was clearly on Davis' health. He never came out the locker room after suffering the injury. The Pelicans had initially listed him as questionable to return.
However, when the Pelicans took the court before the start of the third quarter, there was no sign of Davis. At the end of the quarter, the team announced that Davis would not return.
It appears unclear when Davis' chest problems began. But midway in the first quarter, forward Tristan Thompson bumped into Davis at mid-court. However, Davis continued playing.
During a timeout with 5:44 remaining in the opening quarter, Davis had his hands on his chest appearing to be in discomfort. He returned to the court but asked out of the game at the 5:30 mark.
"I just know when he was on the bench, he was wincing as if he couldn't breathe," Williams said. "So I was hesitant to put him back in the game and he then he wanted to go back out. We watched him for awhile and he took himself out. That's when I knew he didn't feel right. And he was waiting for himself to feel better when he was in the back (locker room), but it never came back. So we'll have a better idea of what's going on (Saturday)."
No. 3: Nets' patience running short — Reports of the Brooklyn Nets' hastened demise have been greatly exaggerated…this according to Brooklyn GM Billy King. At a press conference last night, speaking before the Nets' 88-70 win over Philadelphia, King said stories about the Nets attempting to quickly trade their core three are exactly that: Stories. With the team currently sitting at 9-13, however, King acknowledges an urgency to get things turned around. As the New York Post reports…
"My job is to listen to people and to make calls and to make calls back," King said before the Nets' 88-70 victory over the 76ers on Friday night at Barclays Center.
"Does that mean we're having a fire sale? Absolutely not. I'm doing my job, as well as asking the players and the coaches to do their job. But my job is to work the phones, see what's available.
"If things make sense you make trades. If they don't, you don't do it. But we're not shopping or having a fire sale."
King's comments came in the wake of reports Tuesday the Nets had made their three highest-paid players — Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez — available in trade discussions recently after Brooklyn got off to a rough start for a second straight season.
But while King said there are reasons why the Nets haven't played up to expectations, he wasn't ready to say everything about the team's slow start could be attributed to outside factors.
"I think one, Brook was playing himself back into shape, after being out so long," King said. "I think a lot of guys were trying to adjust to the new system.
"But some guys just haven't played up to the level we need them to play."
The Nets have sputtered out of the gate each of the past two seasons, and since the start of training camp, coach Lionel Hollins repeatedly has said he expects them to play much better in January and February than they are now, once the group grows more comfortable with him and vice versa.
King, however, said the Nets can't afford to simply wait for things to get better with time. They entered Friday with an 8-12 record and were riding a three-game losing streak.
No. 4: Pistons snap 13-game skid — When Stan Van Gundy signed on this summer to take all things basketball for the Detroit Pistons, there was an expectation that things would improve from last year's 29-53 season. Thus far, however, things have been worse before they got any better, as the Pistons entered last night with a 3-19 record and 13 consecutive losses. But the Pistons finally got summer signee Jodie Meeks back from injury, and went into Phoenix and squeaked out a 105-103 win to end the streak. As Vincent Goodwill writes…
All the stops were pulled Friday, as Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy went back to Greg Monroe in the starting lineup, used Jodie Meeks for the first time this season and even did what he's been previously reluctant to, playing his two point guards simultaneously.
The Pistons were desperate, doing everything they could to counteract the balanced Phoenix Suns attack.
Buzzer-beating triples, passionate pleas to the officials followed by calm diplomacy when the emotion died down, but in the end, they had to make plays, and did just enough to beat the Suns, 105-103, at U.S. Airways Arena.
Easy, it surely wasn't, and the ending will never be confused with being smooth or a coaching clinic, as the Pistons nearly gave it away multiple times in the final minutes.
Andre Drummond, an unlikely figure to be sure, hit one of his two free throws with 2.5 seconds left to give the Pistons a two-point lead before the Suns' final attempt made its way to Drummond's massive mitts before the buzzer sounded, ending the misery, punctuating his 23-point, 14-rebound night.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the player who was alleged to have "no heart" by Suns forward Markieff Morris during their earlier meeting, hit a corner 3-pointer with 1:13 remaining to break a 97-all game, and the quiet kid shot a cool stare at the Suns bench on the way downcourt, the last of his 14 points.
"Ha! Nah, I did kind of look at the bench or whatever, let them know I do have heart. I'll take that shot any day," Caldwell-Pope said with a bit of a grin afterwards. "It felt good. Jodie had a nice cut to the basket, (Eric) Bledsoe helped and I was wide open. I spotted up and knocked the shot down."
Meeks played 22 minutes off the bench, hitting four of his 10 shots to score 12. Meeks, who's rather mild in most instances, was fouled with eight seconds left after a Goran Dragic layup, and after his two made free throws, pounded his chest in joy.
SOME RANDOM LINKS: Don't look now, but the Hawks have won 9 straight … The Knicks got a win but lost Iman Shumpert with a dislocated shoulder … Dion Waiters spent the night in Cleveland after experiencing abdominal pain … Bulls forward Doug McDermott will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his knee … Jermaine O'Neal will make a decision about returning after the holidays … While Kobe closes in on Michael Jordan's scoring record, Byron Scott doesn't think anyone will catch Kareem Abdul-Jabbar … Someone allegedly stole a truck filled with 7,500 pairs of LeBron's signature shoes …

I have no idea why they built this park in this particular spot, since there are no close residential buildings, mostly just a highway entrance ramp, a recycling/trash disposal place, a gas station, and some kind of cell tower.
But what it does have is roses - lots and lots of incredible roses. None of them labelled (of course) and I took these just past their peak, so by now they´re mangey and will be for a while before blooming again. But spectacular in their first flush.
The two toned blush roses were especially beautiful.
But the big drifts were certainly impressive.
And a couple from the terrace. We´re having another plaque of aphids and subsequently ants, along with the couple of plants that seem to be downey mildew magnets. Trying a diluted dishsoap spray for the aphids which isn´t discouraging them as much as I´d hoped. Going to try a diluted milk spray for the mildew.
And on the other hand, I spent several mornings trying to move funds around which meant opening and closing accounts and signing rafts of paperwork. And frankly, it feels exactly like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
And to top it off, my mother took a nasty fall and spent several days in the hospital, though thankfully she´s back home now. The theory is that she fainted in her kitchen, hitting her head quite hard - her pain medication seems the likely culprit. We´re all relieved it wasn´t worse, but the measures that can be taken to try to make sure it doesn´t happen again are extremely limited.
But I suppose for situations that have no solutions, all we can do is take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Large-scale festivals and stunning concerts, scientific and industrial breakthroughs, civic activists hard work and victories, moving charity events, startups, poetry presentations – the motley picture of Kharkiv life made up the year of 2017, which will soon go into history.
Volunteer initiatives such as creating a virtual museum of Slovo, "the house of writers," which became the site of mass repression towards the city's intelligentsia in 1933-1938 or guided tours for blind people and historical monuments protection have become the city's highlights in 2017.
Kharkiv Observer has compiled the top five landmark city's events.
1. Battle for Maidan Svobody
For the first time in Kharkiv's history, the active citizens, including young professionals, architects and activists won their battle against a non-transparent architect contest and prevented the city mayor's team from installing a questionable column in Kharkiv's main square – Maidan Svobody. The struggle started in autumn 2016 and the final legal appeal from the city authorities was rejected this December.
However, the square is still hindered with the metal fence, which was installed in 2016 to start the controversial monument construction. Head of the Anti-Corruption Centre and the campaign initiator Dmytro Bulakh states that dismantling the fence is the next year's task.
2. Elina Svitolina's Triumph
Throughout 2017, she was marching up the ladder of amazing victories. In September, Ukrainian number one tennis player, 23-year-old Elina Svitolina, reached WTA Top 3 – the highest ever ranking record for any professional Ukrainian tennis player. Svitolina, tennis player from Kharkiv, won nine WTA titles, including five in 2017, three of which are Premier 5 series tournaments, and two more are WTA International tournaments. For the first time, she reached the fourth round of both Wimbledon and the US Open. Svitolina has finished 2017 in WTA top ten players, occupying the sixth position.
3. Kharkiv Tragedy
In October 2017, Ukraine was terrified with the news about tragic accident on Sumska Street, where five people were killed on the same spot and six badly injured, with one dying later on. The general concern was that a driver, young girl, daughter of rich parents, would escape punishment. So far this is not the case. The suspected girl was detained immediately and appears before the court.
4. Ukrainian Scouting Plast Organization
Ukrainian scouts movement, developed by volunteers and activists, has become Kharkiv new inspiring feature in 2017. Plast held summer camps and ancient fortresses excavations, festivals and contests. The young scouts arranged charity concerts and brought the Holy Fire from Jerusalem to Kharkiv. New reliable patriotic active people, educated by Plast tutors according to tough moral principles, present the foundation for the new future of Ukraine.
5. Wizz Air in Kharkiv
The news, having gained the most views in 2017, was the report about renewed flights from Kharkiv by Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air. Although the company will start operating in Kharkiv from April 5, 2018, many people already look forward to it. The flights from Kharkiv to Dortmund, Germany, will be performed twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays.
However, one of the most significant events of 2017 has become recent releasing Ukrainian captives from terrorists' prisons. The inspiring meeting of invincible heroes gives Kharkivites hope and faith before the New Year.

Dogs are full of joy and mischief. They are life's greatest joy when they're cuddling with us, but they can be our biggest headache when they misbehave. When you're renting an apartment, you're faced with day-to-day nuisances including scratches on furniture, litter all over the floor, and general disarray that comes from boredom.
It sounds impossible to solve, right? Not entirely. We've come up with solutions to make your apartment pet-friendly.
Some of us prefer furry dogs, but when we find ourselves covered in fur, that's another story. Chances are, your apartment is also covered in them. Lint rollers or vacuums just don't cut it. Trust us; we've tried.
One thing that happened to work for us is gloves. Simply put your rubber gloves on, and slightly damp it with water. The gloves with pick up the hair like magic!
Have you ever lost your charger or favorite jewelry just to find out your dog chewed it up? It is a frustrating situation, but there are ways you can prevent this from happening. Dogs will avoid anything with Bitter Apple Spray which is something you can buy at your local pet store.
When you want a cure for your dog's boredom, leave them with lots of toys to play with. You might want to purchase a toy that you can stuff treats in so they can play with it for hours.
Scratches on posts are one of the most common complaints renters have about their dogs. They do this because they like to mark their territory and because it brings them pleasure. If you don't want them to scratch on the post anymore, glue sandpaper on wood. This is a great alternative to relieve their tension.

So my cousin told me about this unlimited cake and coffee in Baguio and my heart almost exploded from excitement. Who doesn't love cakes? Coffee? And being Filipinos, we love unlimited!
This promotion is from Sweetmates. They started out sometime in 2012, and I believe their first branch was in Legarda. The owners were very enthusiastic making their own cakes. Their specialty was the blueberry cheesecake. I knew all this because one of the owners or atleast he said he was was courting a friend of mine at that time and they invited us for cake and coffee at their humble bakeshop in Legarda.
Nowadays, they have a couple of more branches at SM Baguio near the cinema on the 3rd floor, and in Abanao Shagem street on the 2nd floor of A Hotel.
The unlimited cake and coffee is in their Abanao branch. We went there really excited, late in the afternoon. We payed for three (3) unlimited cake and coffee for 179 Pesos. There is a catch though.
Your first 3 slices would come from the top tier of their cake display. Once you've finished that, or if the whole cake is finished, then you get to move to the second tier for another round of three cakes, and finally down to the bottom shelf. This is a good marketing ploy. You get to eat as much cake as you want and they get to dispose their old cakes. Old cakes but still tasted marvelous!
Now, I have a hint for you, because this happened to us and I don't want you getting the same mistake and unable to maximize your unli cake.
Your first three cakes are not served at the same time, which makes sense. But if you are in a group like us, do not order different types of cakes, but if you must, do not taste their cake. Why? Because later on, your second slice may be the same as her slice. And you'll get sick of it and won't be able to get to the second tier! Get what I mean?
This is what happened to us. We were only able to have 2 slices and repeated. A cake 3x. Here's what I mean.
Round 1
Me: Matcha Cheesecake
Lady: Choco Mousse
Katy: Caramel Cheesecake
Round 2
Me: Caramel Cheesecake
Lady: Pastillas Cheesecake
Katy: Carrot Cake
Why did this happen? Remember that each person needs to have 3 cakes from the first tier before moving to the next. Unless the whole cake is finished then they can bring out one from the next layer. But we tried each other's cake and already got sick of it. Good thing there was the Pastillas and Carrot Cake. So if we had a third round, it would again be a
1. Pastillas Cheesecake
2. Carrot Cake
3. Caramel Cake
Get it?
But the best cake was the caramel cake. My eyes could roll backwards from the orgasmic taste. I don't even know how to describe it. It was that good. The worst cake was the Matcha cheesecake and that is coming from a matcha lover.
Oh, don't drink too much coffee because you'll easily get full. Cakes are really heavy, you know. You can choose between plain brewed coffee or plain iced coffee.
As for the service, it seems like the staff wasn't all too happy. One server rolled her eyes at us because we requested for forks. How else can we eat the cake. Another server frowned because we requested a coffee refill. And they scolded us because we stacked our plates together saying we shouldn't do that so we can use it again. Why? Seriosuly? When have I heard of reusing plates in buffets or unlimited food? Our pallette will get mixed! Duh! Perhaps they don't want the extra work washing yhe dishes. Like they're doing anything else. There was four of them and all they did was watch TV! Geez!
Anyhow, will have cakes again next time. There are still more flavors you can try. Plus, I'd like to taste their pasta and other dishes.
Ambiance wise, you can sit indoors in beanie bags or comfy couches, but if I were you, I'd sit outdoors and feel the Baguio breeze.
P.S. Sorry for the pics, we were excited to eat.

The Art Of The Storyboard Diorama
Forum for English speaking members!

Re: The Art Of The Storyboard Diorama
I have joined the Clint Eastwood site and will be putting up the same pics over there too.
I have found a great website that de-constructes the opening scene of the movie.I will take some pics off the screen and compare the actual movie set scene with mine in 1/24 scale.Should be fun !
Re: The Art Of The Storyboard Diorama
Yesterday was a great day as I finally figured out the storyline for the "Once Upon A time.....storyboard diorama.Basically it is back to the theme park idea.I only want one figure in the piece for both storyline and scale purposes.The figure will be opening or closing the gated theme park with lock and key.This eliminates the need for any other figures and makes an empty theme park believable.I was worried about doing justice to the figures and making them look real, especially for Jill 's arrival scene.Instead of figures I will use posters of each actors important scenes that I like.Each scene(Vignette) will tell its own story,a kind of story within the story idea.I will create two more modules,one for Jill's arrival and the other for the security guard or park manager.(this scene will also contain a car ,truck or motorcycle etc... .These two modules I will try to place in such a way as to take away the look of too much squareness in the overall storyboard diorama.There will of course be more changes as I go along but this idea really appeals to me and I hope to the viewer as well.Cheers ! John.

Camelina is an herbaceous, yellow- flowering member of the mustard family whose oil-rich seed and cold tolerance has piqued the interest of USDA scientists for its potential as both a winter cover crop and biodiesel resource. Now, in the process of studying this plant, scientists with USDA's Agricultural Research Service have found that its flowering period can provide honeybees and other insects with a critical, early spring source of nectar and pollen that's usually unavailable then. This is especially true in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, where about one-third of the nation's managed bee colonies are kept from May through October.

First Light / Shadows
Montel returns to Bedrock with a brand new heavyweight brace in Shadows and First Light. Tracks, he tells us, that take influence from his time spent at the centre of some of the worlds seminal dancefloors.
Clubs like Twilo, The Tunnel and the early days of Ministry of Sound and The End still play a big part in inspiring my music today. I suppose it has a kinda nostalgic vibe.
Those heady times and long weekends soundtracked by the driving sounds of Tyrant, S-Man, Peace Division, our faces lit by the single ray of Tenaglias spotlight as the drums kicked at our sternums. That same energy and power exudes from both tracks here. Raw, atmospheric, heavy on the groove and hitting like a pile-driver. As Montel says
Im not looking to re-invent the musical wheel. Its all been done before. Im here to have fun, dance and play big tunes in big rooms.

Gabriel Lester
The Netherlands, Amsterdam Galerie Fons Welters
Gabriel Lester's (NL, 1972) artwork, films and installations originate from a desire to tell stories and construct environments that support these stories or propose their own narrative interpretation. His artworks are typified as cinematographic, without necessarily employing film or video. Like cinema, Lester's practice has come to embrace all imaginable media and occupy both time and space. The artworks propose a tension span and are either implicitly narrative, explicitly visual or both at once.

Halloween came and went.
A good day, as always.
I have really come to love this American holiday. A fun day for kids of all ages including Yours Truly.
Also, a day you can celebrate no matter what religion you are (well, even though I know of a few very religious families that would never, ever dream of celebrating anything Halloween. But, I think those people ARE very rare, after all.).
So, needless to say, a good day.
Even though I do not have any kids living at home I still carve pumpkins. These are the pumpkins Peter and I carved for Halloween.
There was plenty of candy around to hand out to little ghosts, goblins, fire men and princesses, too.
It is good to stock up on candy, the only problem is that you tend to have a LOTS of leftovers, after the fact.
Not good, not good at all. American candy (in my opinion) is really nothing to go HOOPLA-HOOO about. Nope, peeps, I can easily say no THANK YOU to most American sweets (I like jelly beans, Swedish fish, Twix and Reese's peanutbutter cups. But, that's it. Hershey's chocolate? Tastes like … puke… (Sorry to my American fellas for those harsh words) is boring and nothing that I ever crave. But Peter likes Hersheys, Crunch Bars, Kit Kats and M&Ms.
The weather yesterday was kind of on the cool side.
It was 80F (28C) on Sunday. Yesterday it was 60F (14C) and windy. And, of course, as soon as the sun set it got much cooler.
BUT, it was sunny and nice during the day, as it is most of the time here in the fall.
However, the trick or treaters arrive after dark, as they should.
I also checked out the "competition" in the neighborhood.
AND that is ALWAYS fun.
I hope you all had a great Halloween!
Now … Three weeks until Thanksgiving…
Have a good Tuesday!

With the kids bringing their iPads to Art, I made some necessary additions to my Free Choice Centers (what the kids choose to do when they finish their project). Adding to origami, stamping, weaving, free draw, and assorted games/puzzles, we now can use the iPad as a Center!
|No, they didn't rush through their work to get here :)
Some guidelines:
- Art Apps only
- 3 Questions (these are posted and repeated):
- Are you being creative?
- Are you thinking like and artist?
- Is it appropriate?
I explained the 3 Questions to the kids.Here is how the conversation went:
Me: Is Candy Crush allowed?
Kids: Noooo.
Me: Plants vs Zombies?
Kids: NO!
Me: Minecraft?
Kids: No. Wait. Yes? YES!?
So why would I let the kids play Minecraft? Why wouldn't I!
First of all, it is a highly creative and (don't tell) educational game. Talk about STEAM. (ah, that is STEM with a healthy dose of ART). Second, many kids play, it is highly engaging and super fun. Try this: ask a couple of classes how many kids play and note how many hands shoot up.
Ok, here are my Minecraft guidelines:
- Creative mode only. There are no creepers in creative mode!
- Students must be thinking and acting as an artist at all times.
- Students understand they will not be playing every time they come to art, or even when they have Centers. They will draw, weave, etc. We are seeking balance!
- If these privileges are abused in any way, this goes bye-bye.
Fuzzy questions:
- what about other games like Minecraft?
- What about other creative games?
Teachers and Parents, if you really want to explore gaming, have your kids show you Minecraft. I promise you will at least you will have fun with your kids!

About me
I am a concert photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. I am also the editor-in-chief for the online magazine Reportink for which I work as a photographer and editor (e.g. record reviews, etc.).
Why do I do what I do? Because I love music. It is that easy. I never learned to play an instrument. But I was always surrounded by music – all kinds of music. Spending a day without listening to music? Impossible!
The first time that I actually shot a concert was at the Greenfield Festival, Switzerland. I was working as an editor for Germany's biggest news website at the time, so it was pretty easy to get the needed accreditation. To have the possibility to shoot bands like Hatebreed, Foo Fighters, System of a Down and many more was a real eye-opener. I knew: That is what I wanna do – be a concert photographer!
I do not care if I shoot a huge festival stage or a tiny club. It is always the music, the energy, the crowd that keep me going.
So, if you want me to shoot your gig or review your record – feel free to contact me by sending an email to:
Norman aka Angry Norman

He remembered the limited feeling of satisfaction after he so closely followed the Nuremberg trials back in 1946, which resulted in nine of Hitler's henchmen swinging from the end of a rope. It was almost an anti‑climax when they were hung. It didn't stop the pain of losing his father and sister or the countless friends who died fighting the cancer of the Nazis. Today's newspaper item only stirred the demons of hatred, bitterness and anger within him. All he wanted to do was forget the past, but the past would not forget him. Every memory brought with it other recollections that carried unbearable pain.
Vance was right. Oil had made Jerry very rich. Money dripped from the affluent fingers of the Adamson family. Everything Jerry touched turned to gold. What's more, everyone liked him. Why wouldn't they? He became a giver of fine gifts‑‑big gifts‑‑cars, boats and money, lots of money. The Royse City authorities also liked him because he was very philanthropic. Generosity was his middle name. Oil made him millions, but he had shrewdly transferred his wealth into stocks and shares, which had greatly increased his fortune. He was a risk‑taker in war and a risk‑taker in peace, and his risk‑taking had paid huge dividends.
Jeremiah P. Adamson was no longer the simple‑living farmer he had been in England. Money does strange things to people, and over the years affluence changed him into a man of the world. He had become a man who optimized Shakespeare's warning to "flee ambition, for by such sin fell the angels."
Amidst the sea of wealth Connie and Jerry had drifted apart and virtually lived two separate lives in their own home. Jerry's life was consumed with running his business and taking care of his money, and Connie's life was devoted to Elizabeth and Johnny.
Although his name was a household word in the district, the public wasn't aware that many of his business dealings had created adversaries. The business world is a hard and steep climb, and often one has to tread on a few fingers to get there. After death‑threats started, bodyguards followed Jerry almost everywhere he went. There were also more than a few large and shady financial dealings with people that the police had been investigating, but the investigations never came too close to Jeremiah P. Adamson, thanks to friends in high places.
To be continued...

Tesla Model S With 60 kWh Battery Rated At 208 Miles
Tesla Motor's novel approach to selling its all-electric Model S with different battery sizes has made it far and away the most successful electric car maker on the market. Up until now, only the most expensive Tesla Model S with the 85 kWh battery has been officially rated by the EPA, but Tesla has just released the ratings for its Model S with the 60 kWh battery pack. With over 200 miles of range per charge, can the middle child steal sales from the elder?
Tesla pledged to build the first Tesla Model S units with the 85 kWh battery in order to satisfy their most financially committed customers, hence why the top-end Tesla was rated by the EPA first. With production of the Model S now nearing 400 units per week, Tesla is perhaps getting ready to shift production to the lesser models. The Tesla Model S comes with three battery sizes; 40 kWh, 60 kWh, and 85 kWh.
The EPA rated the 85 kWh model for 265 miles per charge, and a 89 MPGe rating. The 60 kWh model offers 208 miles of range, and a 95 MPGe rating. The 40 kWh model will reportedly offer around 140 miles of range per charge, though it has not been rated yet. Only the 60 and 85 kWh models will be able to use Tesla's vaunted Supercharger network.
The 208 mile rating makes for an interesting conundrum for any would-be Model S buyers. With a $10,000 difference between the 60 and 85 kWh models, one has to wonder if the extra 57 miles is worth it. The jump from 40 to 60 kWh definitely seems more cost effective, netting the buyer nearly 70 more miles of range for that extra $10,000. That extra 5 kWh, plus a little less extra weight, will most likely make the middle child the most efficient of the Model S variants.
If it were up to you, which version of the Model S would you opt for? Cost effectiveness, or lost distance driving ability?

Alvar Aalto designed his Chair 69 in 1935 as a minimalist piece of furniture for the dining table. Like many of his chairs, the Finn also used L-shaped legs for his Chair 69 design, giving the chair its characteristic silhouette and allowing the frame to be attached directly to the seat.
The Chair 69 was initially designed, like the Stool 60 and other famous pieces of furniture by Aalto, for the library in Wyborg. It quickly began its triumphal march all around the world from there, and private individuals soon became impressed with the soft yet clear shapes of the piece.
Artek manufactures the Chair 69 from birch veneer, which in another step is varnished transparent. There are also versions with laminated or cushioned seats available.

Steve Williams
"I am an instinctive painter. My pictures take form through the process of painting, not through adherence to a fully formulated plan.
Exploring my emotive response to my subject matter, I allow my paintings to develop as a result of my mood or subconscious mindset. They stem from an original idea, image or situation and then come together of their own accord.
I try to infuse my pictures with fluidity, energy, colour and texture. My aim is to achieve a balance, a harmony and completeness, in all of my pictures. I work spontaneously to convey my emotional energy into a painting. I believe this is the only way to ensure authenticity. I paint using acrylics, palette knives and brushes." Steve Williams

The new Windows 8 OS from Microsoft has been officially out for a few days already and you can get it and upgrade to it or get it with the purchase of a new PC. The big question is if you should do it now, wait for some time before going for Windows 8 or not even think about upgrade for the time being or at all. You can say that the most worked on part of the new OS is the new interface designed for mobile devices such as tablets or computers with touch screen interface, but that can also be considered as the biggest drawback for the users of traditional computers that are used to things like the Start button and programs menu as are missing it. Sure there are other improvements as well and changes that are considered "for the better" for the user, but do all users think they can actually benefit from them. Actually the overall user impressions from the new Windows 8 seem to be more negative than positive, even though people are saying that the new OS works faster and is smoother compared to Windows 7.
And here comes another important question, does Windows 8 work well for stereoscopic 3D use, something that probably a lot of people that are into stereo 3D are asking about. There have been some changes in the video driver model used in Windows 8 and the makers of graphics processors have already implemented and released drivers supporting this, however there might be trouble with other drivers for different hardware, though drivers for Windows 7 might still work if they are digitally signed. There might be some issues for a while with games using different DRM solutions or cheat protection algorithms, preventing you from running certain games, but hopefully these will soon be resolved. Another thing that you might have trouble with if going for the new Windows 8 are all those workaround solutions and tricks that you might've used successfully under Windows 7 for making different older or not officially supported 3D hardware working.
My advice for now is not to be in a hurry to go for Windows 8, or at least not as the sole OS you have on your computer. If you want to check it out and try migrating to Windows 8 slowly, then you better start with it installed as a second OS, or even in a virtual machine, as you might have trouble making all your hardware work, trouble with some of the software you are used to working with, or you may not like the new concept at all and decide to skip it and wait for the next major OS release, or at least for some updates or tools to make the transition easier. I already have Windows 8 as a second OS installed, more out of curiosity an to try it out and test various things, including stereoscopic 3D support as well. If you've already installed Windows 8 and have tried it, you might've faced some issues and here you can share your trouble making things work properly in stereoscopic 3D mode, so that we can find a solution that will work in Windows 8.
I'll start with one very useful tool that I've found out about, a tool that actually makes Windows 8 useable for me, it is called Windows 7 Explorer for Windows 8 (Ex7ForW8) and what it does is to replace the new Windows 8 shell with the one from Windows 7, bringing you back the Start button and menu from Windows 7 into Windows 8. You need to have an installation copy of Windows 7 as the software needs to copy the Explorer.exe executable file from it (it is not included with the installer) and you can easily revert back to the standard Windows 8 shell should you decide to do that as some point. Feel free to share not only your problems, but also some other interesting things that you've found out to be useful for you in Windows 8 in the comments below.

This piece from Erik Flannigan is the fifth in a series of 10 posts about the future of the media industry contained in a report titled: Rebooting Media: The Digital Publishing Revolution for a Fully Social Web.
Q: How does the rise of Facebook change the relationship between media and its audience?
Facebook is a platform, not just a Web site, and it has created a public sentiment meter. In fact, sometimes there seems to be wild over-reactions to the sentiment expressed by the "Like" button. And many people might suggest that "Like" has created a currency of some kind. Whether it's actually worth something or not remains to be seen, however. It may end up being the lowest possible of all audience benchmarks of interest. We don't know yet. Some of our properties get modest traffic through Facebook; others get 75-80 percent of their traffic through Facebook. From my perspective, though, it offers a measure of sentiment, a measure of what is most socially relevant.
Q: What's changed fundamentally about media with the rise of the social Web, and what do publishers need to do to adapt?
On some level, the social Web breaks down the walls for those who want to go there. Real people tell us how they feel in an unvarnished way, in an unfiltered way. There is a fan base that's active on social media platforms that wants more, and that is looking for relationships with shows and personalities. That means we have to create more and more digital content, and it has to be content that can stand alone. If you want to build a fan base, you have to do this with content. And this has probably made us at MTV think more about marketing our shows all year long, not just at premiere.
Q: We've gone from SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to SMO (Social Media Optimization), so how will search change as the Web becomes more social?
Search is like fixing your tire. There are times when you have to do it. So, it will continue. That said, the idea that search is the end all and be all is definitely changing. We saw this in focus groups we did with young men. They said if something is important enough, it will find me. All I need is Twitter and a newsfeed. Also, I think more and more people understand that search is a game, that the search system is gamed. And so, search has become less satisfying, and consumers are moving away from their reliance on search. Social filters are better and more timely, especially because you can run out of things to search for. We're moving to a future where we'll have some version of tracking, managing and increasing prominence of the super-influencers. And I believe that parsing out the most influential of your social followers will become big, and become a business.
Q: How do you build a brand in publishing when, with greater frequency, media is distributed through social channels?
It's tough. And it's easy to disassociate brands and content. That's why we need to do more when it comes to thinking things through to the end experience. This is important, and you can see that consumers are giving publishers credit when there's an open dialogue. Instagram is a good example here. They have thought about the end-to-end experience. It's much more than a name. Its identity is tied to an experience, to sharing. And they didn't allow themselves to just be a platform. They are aspiring to become a noun, not just a brand.
Q: What are the critical success factors in publishing as we look to 2020; and who will be the winners?
We must fix the issue of monetization in digital space. There is a horrible battle brewing between the growth of the audience and the lack of currency to monetize. And there's nothing – no real answers – on the horizon. TV has been online for five years, for example, and the problem hasn't been solved. There's big growth and big innovation, and yet we haven't figured this out.
Erik Flannigan joined MTV Networks from AOL, where he was vice president of programming. Before that, he was at Buena Vista Datacasting / The Walt Disney Company as vice president of programming. And prior to that, he served as vice president of music services and programming at RealNetworks.

Former Baltimorean Craig Strydom intentionally attended the 85th Academy Awards wearing his father-in-law's tuxedo, the one with the tiny tear in one leg.
The music journalist chose not to mend the small rip. He figured it would keep him grounded if the film that his work inspired, "Searching for Sugar Man," didn't win an Oscar.
He needn't have worried. The fairy tale story that began in the mid-1990s in Strydom's native South Africa captured the top prize Sunday night for best documentary.

Where in the world have I been? Here is a sampling of places from recent years…
World Heritage Sites
I have always been a fan of visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The series of books about Oli will also see him visit some of these incredible attractions. Here are some of the places I have been fortunate enough to visit.
2013 Gallery
Over 40k miles traveled in over 9 countries! Started the year in Panama, then Miami, Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston, London, The Cotswolds, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Dublin, Brussels, Gent, Prague, Brugges, Budapest, Strasbourg, Antwerp, and ended the year at the Belgian coast of Koksijde.
2012 Gallery
It was a year of many firsts…first trip to Italy, first trip to the southwest part of the United States, Switzerland, and South America. There were also a trips back to familiar places: California, Canada, New York just to name a few. 33k, 5 new countries, 15 new cities…
2011 Gallery
Europe twice, Turkey for the first time and an extended trip to Hawaii were the highlights of 2011. I went back to Paris in the Spring and visited Germany in the fall. Mediterranean Turkey started rough but overall, it was a very fun and memorable trip.

Sustainable development in the Pacific
This week we talked to Thomas Gillman, who you may recognise as your post graduate representative in the UCSA, about his PhD research on Sustainable Development Methodologies. Thomas' research focuses on the gap between humanitarian and development aid in relation to climate change and how Smaller Island States in the Pacific are challenged by the fundamental issue of aid effectiveness; specifically capacity, coordination, monitoring and evaluation, leaving the question how can access to aid funding be expedited in the current volatile geopolitical environment?
Confused? So was I. So we asked Thomas to simply the topic. Broadly speaking this research explores the power dynamics that govern our current world system". Thomas chuckles and adds, "Unsure how many people will stop reading now, but no stress". He continues, "Our world is defined by the perceptions and demands of those with power and if we do not engage with this critically then it is very difficult for those who live on the margins of this power to have a strong input into the global agenda. Aid is often utilised as a foreign policy tool by countries and so it can also be understood as a tool of influence. Thus, there is a need to explore the way in which aid is implemented and dispersed in order to question the current power dynamics.
With an undergraduate background in a Bachelor of Arts in English and History (with some Philosophy thrown in), his research is based here at UC and will involve future field work in the Pacific Islands and Europe.
"Those BA's can get people places!"
Thomas was inspired to undertake his PhD while living in Samoa, working for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The UNDP is a division of the United Nations which tackles a whole range of issues in developing countries, aiming to eradicate poverty, inequality and exclusion.
After completing his PhD, he plans to take some time off while working on other projects "I would really like to write some poetry. A mate, who is a photographer, and I would like to put together a short book with pictures and poems talking about the PhD pathway and process. The first poem will be titled, "A balance between Do-Bro's and scribbling, the perfect amount for effective writing". From here it would take a slightly more serious turn and explore how the research impacts the world which we are connected to and engage with, and the lives of those on both sides of the text. We are open for others to add to this book, so if you got some awesome texts let us know."
If you would like to learn more about Thomas's research or the UNDP, email email@example.com

Crowns we use when a tooth is either got too big of a filling ... There's a limit to how big fillings can be. When they're too big, you can remove cavities with them, but they actually weaken the tooth. Think about when somebody's splitting wood. What they do is they put a piece of wood and then they put a metal wedge and then they hammer that wedge and they split the wood. Well here, in this case, you've got the metal wedge is say maybe an old metal filling, you've got the wood which is your tooth and every time you bite down that's the hammer. Over the years though, that metal wedge, or that big filling, put's a lot of stress on the remaining tooth structure.
You have a weak tooth and one day you go and you bite on that Crackerjack, or chicken bone, and something breaks. What we do in those cases is we put crowns on the teeth. Just think of a crown as a helmet that goes over your teeth that's made out of porcelain and looks natural. That way you're able to bite down with confidence and be able to save your tooth. We usually don't like to wait 'til a tooth is completely broken before we put a crown on it. If we see a problem, we try to point it out and protect a tooth before it breaks. Sometimes if a tooth breaks, we can't save it and we have to take it out and do more invasive procedures.
Now, a bridge is an option when you're missing teeth. With a bridge, you are using the teeth on each side of the tooth that you're missing and you're basically creating a fake tooth, we call it a pontic, that basically it gets attached to two teeth on each side of the space. The advantage to a bridge is that it's a faster procedure as compared to say, implants. You're able to sometimes correct for people to have a little more crooked teeth, you'd be able to make them look more straight. Most of the time an implant is something that I would prefer to do in missing teeth situations. We've been doing bridges traditionally for many years. Now in this day of implants, what I say is if you can keep a one tooth problem a one tooth problem, that's always best.
With an implant, you don't have to touch the adjacent teeth of the space. Some people are not ready for implants. Some people don't have the bone to be able to put an implant in and they don't want to go through the, what we call bone augmentation, to be able to get implants. In those cases, especially in the front of the mouth, sometimes doing a bridge is a better option for the patient. Those are all the things that we can talk about and I can guide you to help make a better decision and the best decision for your mouth.

Dangerous face-washing water? Separate bins for used toilet paper? Side-by-side toilets? #SochiProblems spelled opportunity for Airbnb.
As "hilarious and gross" stories about, er, inadequate hotels at the 2014 Winter Olympics went viral, San Francisco's Airbnb took to Twitter, flagging some of the hundreds of Sochi accommodations available on its website along with spiffy photos.
It started this morning.
Having #SochiProblems? Hotel lacking water? Floors? 500+ Airbnb listings in #Sochi are ready to welcome guests http://t.co/YHlvMS4jVU
— Airbnb (@Airbnb) February 7, 2014
Then it targeted specific beleaguered journalists, such as Yahoo sports columnist @DanWetzel, who had a plaintive request:
Hey @DanWetzel – trade you 3 spare lightbulbs for a spare bedroom. We'll even throw in a door handle http://t.co/KXyzmbIOgH #SochiProblems
— Airbnb (@Airbnb) February 7, 2014
Here are a few more:

The real-time marketing campaign came courtesy of ad agency Pereira & O'Dell.
While Oakland's Clorox may not have the street cred of being a venture-backed sharing economy startup-turned-behemoth, it had its own witty Twitter responses to the infamous Sochi twin potties.

iPhone 5 Should Adopt These Killer Galaxy S3 Tricks
Apple's iPhone 4S gave us an in-line evolution rather than a full-on revolution – despite Siri and a faster chip, we had the same body and screen as we had in 2010.
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhone 5: What Apple can learn
It was a shock not to see the iPhone 5 last autumn, but Apple was just repeating its traditional routine. 2008 saw the iPhone 3G, then the almost identical 3GS in 2009. This pattern is known as the "tick-tock" release cycle, according to ZDNET. Apple lets out a new form in one year (tick) and a similar body with tweaked internals the next (tock).
This did mean, though, that Apple was stuck on the bleachers for a year (a long time in mobile tech), but its rivals were busting design moves. Apple used to be the leader, but was lagging a bit.
So, now we're in the "tick" phase, and ZDNET has suggested a few tricks that Apple could learn from the Samsung Galaxy S3. The tech blog says the S3 is prettier than the iPhone 4S and that you have to wonder if the design dudes at Cupertino were on an extended coffee break when the 4S left the drawing boards.
The 4S is looking a bit Eastern Bloc and industrial now. The first leaked pics had people wondering if it was just a prototype. The Samsung Galaxy S3 looks finished and glossy, fitting well in the hand. The iPhone, by contrast, looks like a boot scraper. You also have to admit that the aluminum bezel goes to seed very quickly.
So, the iPhone 5 should realize that it needs a fab new form, a bigger screen and LTE speed, as well as an NFC chip and some of the Android gewgaws (think custom launchers, 3rd party keyboards and more) that Apple just hasn't caught onto so far. The LTE speed is enough to soften the hardest hearts once it does its stuff though so it is a good start.
Of course, choosing curvy or straight is down to you, but when a company has been selling straight for two years, you start to wonder. It seems that the iPhone 5 will be straight as well – tall, but straight.
Despite the iPhone leading the market, and Apple being the world's most valuable company, it needs to break this tick-tock dance. The iPhone needs an annual redesign and flurry of new features, and Apple needs to pay more heed to the competition.

Wonderful article on a wonderful band. Everyone take a read!
So, the trip hop quartet were back (with special guests!) to perform once again at the grunge, underground venue, The Cockpit. As you all know, this place is dedicated to hand-picking the best bands out of the glimmering sea of new music, catching exciting new artists at the start of their careers. Yeah, it's true, the stage has the faded footprints of the Two Door Cinema Club, Temper Trap and Coldplay to prove it. Over the last year, the UK have willingly welcomed The 1975's mixed genre style with open arms after the release of not one, but TWO EP's (Sex and Facedown) including ready-made anthems such as The City and Sex. They had already created a buzz around the country after touring the UK with guitar-heavy, cheerful Little Comets but this time it was different, they were back… but headlining.
I guess I should start from the beginning of…

Oh, yes, I'm with you on that, Joan! I need a day with no plans, though. Haven't had one of those in a while.ReplyDelete
