I took these pictures of a hoarfrost a few weeks back. The unusual thing was that the frost was forming all night and all the next day. You can see in the close-up how thick it got.
Last night, I was up late working and I heard K stirring and whimpering in bed. I checked in on him and it was as I suspected; he was having a bad dream. So I prayed for him. As I whispered, he settled into a restful sleep and just as soon as I said "amen" and kissed his forehead he did not wake up, but he did put in his own "amen."
Assumption: If the speed limit on a given road is 55 miles per hour, then that speed limit is the speed — give or take a few miles per hour — that is reasonable to drive under perfect conditions. Question: Is it reasonable to expect folks to drive less than 55 mph under less than perfect conditions? Another question: Is it reasonable to expect folks to drive substantially less than the posted speed limit when conditions are almost as bad as they could possibly be — to wit, a half inch sheet ice covering the road?
It is interesting to me that if visibility is less than 50 feet or so, folks tend to drive quite slow, but when icy conditions impair their stopping and steering ability, they do not slow down. But the effect is the same. You can't stop or steer in time to miss your target.
I suspect that if folks tested their traction more often on slick roads, they would slow down more.
And here is another thing. While driving in heavy snow yesterday, we had probably 40 cars pass us. 38 out of 40 had Illinois plates. Interesting? I think so.
BluRay wins – Huzzah! Castro resigns – Huzzah! What will complete the trifecta? Bin Laden is found dead? McCain breaks down?
You know, I'm beginning to think I need to take a camera with me wherever I go. There is so much that I see that I think is worthy of a snapshot. This morning on the way to work, there was again a dazzling hoarfrost. But the more interesting bit was that there was almost no wind and a temperature inversion. The warmer temperatures, about one hundred feet up, stopped the smoke from folks' chimneys rising, but the colder temperatures kept the steam visible for a long time.
A farmer was delivering hay to his cows in their pasture, while his farm house puffed a stream of smoke that traveled straight up and then took a ninety degree turn, as if it were actually traveling in a stovepipe.
Another house on the side of a hill was several hundred yards from the road. The smoke from its chimney also traveled straight up, but when the inversion checked it, it began to spread north in a widening layer. So by the time the smoke had reached my viewpoint, it was as wide as a road and as thick. It was a smoky country road in the sky.

Levitt Bernstein, PRP and HTA Design have been chosen to work on the regeneration of the London Borough of Merton
The three practices will draw up residential plans for three areas of the south-west London borough; Levitt Bernstein for Eastfields, PRP Architects for the High Path area, and HTA Design for Ravensbury.
The plans include the demolition and redevelopment of more than 1,200 homes, and propsals include new-build housing, public space and community facilities.
Levitt Bernstein, HTA and PRP will now work with local residents on the plans.
The three practices were selected 'based on previous work on large-scale urban regeneration projects'.
Barry McCullough at Levitt Bernstein Associates said: 'Despite being close to the academy and some well-loved leisure facilities, the Eastfields neighbourhood doesn't feel linked to its surroundings. We want to work with residents and the Circle Housing Merton Priory team to connect it with the local area by creating an attractive layout including safe streets and open spaces that are used by all at all hours of the day.'
PRP Architects Manisha Patel commented: 'Our vision for High Path is of a sustainable, high quality neighbourhood where people will be proud to live. Our drive has been and will always be the creation of a new neighbourhood that recognises the local community values.'
Paul Maddock from HTA Design added: 'Ravensbury is a close-knit community in a unique setting. HTA's master planning team is delighted to be working with residents, local organisations and the team at Circle Housing Merton Priory to develop ideas for its transformation into an attractive, thriving and sustainable Merton neighbourhood.'
The schemes are expected to be submitted for planning in 2015.

AARP washes hands of Obama ad
The advocacy group for older Americans puts out a statement on the Obama campaign's new ad this morning, which cites AARP studies — not, the group notes, with the express support of AARP:
AARP Senior Vice President John Hishta issued the following statement in response to a new campaign advertisement that uses quotes from AARP:
"The next president and Congress will decide the future of Medicare, and the candidates owe voters straight talk — not just 30-second ads — about what their plans will mean for today's seniors and future retirees.
"We were not aware of nor have any involvement with this campaign ad. AARP is a nonpartisan organization and we do not endorse political candidates. For the last 26 years, we've been providing voters with balanced information, without all the political jargon and spin, so they can make their own decisions on Election Day. ...
"We urge all presidential and congressional candidates to talk with voters about the future of Medicare and Social Security at the upcoming conventions, debates and other forums.
"We encourage our members and all Americans to ask questions so they understand where the candidates stand on these important issues and can choose the candidates that best reflect their views and values."
That's not a repudiation of the Obama ad or a walkback of the information contained in it, though the AARP does note that it'll be publishing a new voter guide later this month, and could weigh in again on Ryan and the rest at that point.

Practice Areas
- Equitable distribution of property
- Child custody and parenting time
- Alimony
- Child Support
Our attorneys are skilled at helping clients reach the best results in these areas in all cases, including cases involving significant assets, issues of business valuation and high conflict custody disputes.
After a client's divorce is resolved, our attorneys are able to enforce resulting court orders as they relate to alimony or child support, as well as child custody and visitation. If changes occur that impact either party's ability to comply with such orders, we help clients seek modifications to them. For example, children's needs may change or either party in the divorce may have a change in their financial situation due to an increase or decrease in income. As these material changes in circumstances occur, our attorneys are able to guide clients as they renegotiate the terms of their divorce agreement, as well as any alimony, child custody and access, or child support agreements.

Open Data
Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.
PWYP-Canada has been at the forefront of the campaign to ensure that any information published by extractive companies is disclosed under an Open Data format. This is crucial if citizens and civil society are to be able to easily access and use the information; without specifying an Open Data format, information could be technically public but not genuinely accessible.
Open Data means that people are able to reuse and reproduce the data as they see fit - for example adding links to the data on their website or creating and sharing a graph that compares data from several mining companies. There should be no restrictions as to who can use the data, it should be available to all groups. Finally the data should be free and available in a convenient format (i.e downloading a spreadsheet from a website). The format is important because if people are to analyze and play with data it is difficult to do so from a PDF. Crucially, when data is open it is possible to combine and compare datasets - which will be essential when trying to follow the money or ascertaining whether a country got a fair deal.
PWYP-Canada is calling on the government to specify that any information published through the Extractive Transparency Measures Act (in force as of June 1st 2015) be disclosed in adherence with Open Data standards and be available via a centralized database. In May 2015 PWYP-Canada members and partners wrote to Natural Resource Minister Rickford and Minister Clement, President of the Treasury Board urging them to ensure an open data format for the Extractive Transparency Measures Act. You can read the letter here.
PWYP-Canada has recently been active in the Open Data community, participating in the recent Open Data Conference and Canadian Open Data Conference in Ottawa and acting as a key focal point for Open Data on the extractive sectors. PWYP-Canada has also been engaging with the Open Government Partnership (OGP) process in Canada, encouraging the Government of Canada to commit to making extractives data available in an open data format as part of its OGP Action Plan.

CD Details
Because Anyone Can Whistle was one of Stephen Sondheim's most notorious failures, lasting a mere nine performances in 1964, this 1995 gala benefit concert for Gay Men's Health Crisis was conceived as a one-night revival. It's an exciting performance, anchored by Bernadette Peters in Lee Remick's role as Nurse Apple (meaning she gets to sing "There Won't Be Trumpets," the title tune, and "With So Little to Be Sure Of"), plus Madeline Kahn as the Mayoress, Scott Bakula as Hapgood, and Angela Lansbury, the original Mayoress, as narrator and host. Other advantages include 20 additional minutes of music and dialogue, a detailed synopsis, a full libretto, and notes on the concert. No, it's not a replacement for the original Broadway cast, but it's a valuable complement and a significant addition to the Sondheim discography. --David Horiuchi

"I'll admit I bought this album on a leap of faith- as a fan of Bernadette Peters I figured it couldn't be too bad. But that was several months ago- and even today, I have to bribe myself to listen to something else! Anyone Can Whistle was written for the wrong era- as a new show today, I think it might have been a sucess. And this album shows you why. The script is funny, the message is fresh and the performers... well, what can you say. Get Bernadette Peters, Scott Bakula, Angela Lansbury and Madeline Kahn together in the same room and try not to have a incredible experience! ACW does take some getting used to. In typical Sondheim fashion it may not seem altogether pleasant the first time. But listen again. With the full libertto included you can follow along, and maybe not make full sense of it, but certainly enjoy the creatitivty and fun that this evening was. The show boasts a wealth of songs that have gotten away over the years- preserved here. Songs such as "Play Wiz Me" and "There's Always A Woman"(cut from the only existing recording from the original show) will keep you laughing long after they are though. The sheer genius of the 15 minute Act 1 finale will baffle you. But when finished, your only regret will be that you weren't there, and that there isn't a video! All musical lovers should take a leap of faith with this CD and give it a fair run- I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!"
Better than the original cast recording

"this concert was full of all sorts of glitches live. madeline kahn blew one number and they had to start over. the fountain didn't function. on the whole people seemed under-rehearsed. FORTUNATELY, none of that is really apparent in this recording. peters surpasses the original performance of lee remick and kahn is every bit as succesful as lansbury was as the original mayoress. (although somehow lansbury's turn in manchurian candidate adds a certain creepiness to her power-hungry mayor)."
An issue of personal preference
scifiman5 | San Mateo, Ca United States | 10/29/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Note: Stephen Sondheim is my hero and Anyone Can Whistle is an early work of his that is, despite what others may say, easily one of his more beautiful and evocative scores. And the lyrics are good as well (perhaps not up there with Sondheim's best, but some of "Me and My Town" and "Simple" are simply great).
When I first bought Anyone Can Whistle about one year ago, I bought the original cast recording. And I was (and still am) extremely happy with that recording. However, my need for some new stuff from Sondheim (even if just different preformances) led me to buy this CD. And this is a really good recording as well. I prefer the original slightly above this one. By far the most appealing part of this recording is Scott Bakula, who is far superior to Harry Guardino in the orginal. Madeline Kahn and Bernadette Peters are both impressive, although I feel that Peters is a little too mature for the role; to be sure, the Nurse is not a juvenile role, but Bernadette comes across as the seasoned Broadway veteran that she is, which I feel to be wrong for the role. Madeline Kahn is very good, perhaps even as good as Lansbury. Overall, an excellent recording, especially if you want more Anyone Can Whistle music. But if you are going to buy your first Anyone Can Whistle recording, buy the original recording. You won't be disappointed."

Dear Readers, there will be no TECH Updates on Thursday 13 April 2017 or Friday 14 April 2017 due to unforeseen technical problems encountered while revising the DLL's publication schedule. The next DLL publication will be "TECH Dozens" on Sunday 16 April 2017. I apologize for this inconvenience.
Meanwhile readers should note that from now on the DLL's weekly "TECH Updates" (formerly called "TECH Daily") will only appear on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Its calendar updates will continue to appear on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. And its weekly "TECH Dozens" magazine will continue to appear on Sunday evenings, but will be accompanied by fewer tweeted "reminders" on Mondays and Tuesdays.
A more limited publication schedule will give the DLL more time to identify the most significant upcoming events that should be included in its #DiversityInTech and #EdTech calendars. More time will also provide greater assurance that its Updates and Magazine provide links to reports and op-eds that are timely and/or memorable. And saving the most important reason for limiting the DLL's publication schedule for last ==> It will provide the DLL with more time to produce its own interactive reference reports with regards to the participation of Black, Hispanic, and female Americans in the U.S. information technology sector, a/k/a "tech" -- reports that are clearly written, are "reproducible", and embody the latest "data science" procedures. ... :-)

Switchcam is a fun new app we have just launched that lets you overlay any image overtop heads in realtime. I'd love to hear what the PH community thinks of Switchcam. Jacob
Good news: the tracking works really well. Bad news: the tracking only works when the app is suspended, so it's absolutely unusable.
@aidan What do you mean by "when the app is suspended"? We will try and get that fixed ASAP.
@jgcatalano If I double tap on the home button to open recent apps, or open command center, it instantly starts working. Entering the app again causes it to instantly stop working. The issue persisted after multiple relaunches. Good luck! The app seems really cool.
@aidan Good to know, we will certainly get that fixed. Really appreciate the feedback!

Police not likely to enforce ban on struggle song
By Khanyisa Tabata
13 September 2011
It will be impractical to expect the police to actively enforce a ban on singing the controversial Shoot the Boer song.
Johan Burger of the SA Institute for Security Studies says law enforcers simply have more important things to do.
The South Gauteng High Court yesterday ruled that the song was hate speech and there was no justification for its singing.
Burger says only under certain conditions will police enforce the ruling.

A well used tradition thta ought to preserved or possibly a large enterprise for your field I remember chrisrmas times of my childhood like I remember my birthday party. They were really unique and I constantly appeared toward that single day that year if we got alongside one another being a large content friends and family. custom writing australia It absolutely was a period of fun plus the shear thought of it was actually interesting; the joyful the holiday season carols were actually sang, the christmas time plant was embellished and gift items were propagated. The 25th of Dec constantly separated itself over the schedule sketching awareness to themselves as that wedding day. The holiday season is usually a ingredient term comprising "Christ" meaning "Saviour " of all christians and "Mas", a Latin word it means "death" Xmas is actually a special event with the start of Christ, the Messiah. why 25th Dec? It is actually unclear why 25th of December is the morning for any festivity seeing that the Biblical refences fail to web page precisely when Jesus came to be. From Andrew Mcgown's write-up "How December 25 Grew to be The holiday season", he points out that from Luke 2:8, shepherds ars tending their flocks which implies spring lambing season,which contasts while using wintertime by which X-mas is recognized in the Northern Hemisphere X-mas was recognized on Dec 25th in Western Roman Business as well as on January 6th on the Eastern Empire(primarily Egypt and Asia Minimal) Whilst current Armenian chapel consistently celebrate Xmas on Jan 6th, most christians will help keep celebrating Christmas time in the 25th of December. The period of time between the two appointments is now known as the 12 days of Christmas. Could be the Xmas culture life on? Christmas time is engraved on the day-to-day lives of men and women as it is one thing they presume in. As I expand, I am just less and less serious about the merrymaking events of the day. I am just a lot more concerned about how greatest we can easily reduce costs we expend for The holiday season. Just last year, for any firstt time in my entire life, we did not have a christmas plant or christmas time birthday cake in tne residence, your day decided to go by similar to any other working day with out an individual brought up an eyes brow. We were browsing through a tough time financially and we decided that many of us can by pass the luxury of The holiday season fun. Nevertheless, our idea and pleasure in benefiting from newborn Jesus within the environment failed to falter, we wenf to chapel and thanked Lord for such a wondercul gift The Holiday tradition will live on due to the fact even just in times when we cannot dedicate to luxuries, our notion in Jesus' emerging helps to keep us from going through the day casually. Xmas-Significant Small business for that Business There is not any question that others ingest a lot more through season, partly because, our company is not personal-satisfactory and as a consequence rely on what others have formulated for consumption
The patterns we certainly have established and made as a part of our lives can be useful towards the marketers who will offer exactly that which we demand from customers per time. We observe Christmas even though using its while cultures based upon where by we have been, for different parts of the globe have several cultures even though remain widespread for any. Bring as an illustration, the christmas plant, people need it and in case we think how the special event is unfinished without this, then why wouldn't the business enterprise mankind create a fortune from foliage? My mothers and fathers employed to shop for us new clothes only about that time of the year, and so i believe that there are several mothers and fathers like my own who embark on a store shopping spree regarding their young children only while in Xmas . So, sure Holiday is a huge offer towards the entrepreneur as demand for distinct articles and reviews increases. Then, would it be an older convention or significant small business marketplace? Each bash needs that people spend some money to see it accomplished, and The holiday season is no different. One can find business people who do not have confidence in Christmas but who display during the season to create gross sales from the merchandise on sought after. The business enterprise individual could not assist but see The holiday season as a chance to make income and extend organization. On the flip side, the customer is distracted by a tradition that encourages consumerism and is required to consume even if it indicates operating into financial obligations. The consumer is driven by theneed to preserve that old tradition. The years as a child experiences i actually have of Xmas are precious and so i would wantmy children to possess very good thoughts in this special occasion regardless if it implies profiting the marketplace inthe operation.

Spring can be cool, pale and elusive at times, while at others it is warm, glowing and bursting with life. It's a season of transition, when bare earth hardened by winter's chill transforms into a garden alive with beauty and promise. Spring is also the name of Skye Gyngell's new restaurant in London's historic Somerset House. The Australian expat chef chose it well before opening, as a nod to the seasons that inspire her cooking and because it symbolises optimism and hope. She could never have predicted it then, but the name would also capture the spirit of an extraordinary collaboration with her once-estranged sister, Sydney interior designer Briony Fitzgerald. But after all, what is spring about if not new beginnings?
Housed in a greenhouse in a bucolic garden, Petersham Nurseries is the restaurant where Gyngell made her mark. After starting off "cooking alone with a couple of pots and pans in a shed" in 2004, her composition of flavours and skill in articulating the rhythms of the seasons saw Petersham flourish. However, by the time a Michelin star found its way there, followed by crowds expecting silver-service dining, Gyngell had already set her sights on the big-city lights.

NBA Daily: Jae'Sean Tate a Sleeper Pick in the Draft
Ohio State's Jae'Sean Tate could be a sleeper in the NBA Draft, writes Simon Hannig.
Jae'Sean Tate out of Ohio State is a sleeper pick in this draft. Tate, a 6-foot-4, 230 pound forward, bounced back in a big way in his last two years after a down first two years in his college career.
He is not projected in any mock drafts yet, but he is a very good defensive player and a very good offensive player. He finishes very well in traffic. He might be a bit undersized in terms of height, but he makes up for it with his great athleticism. He is also a great passer, even in traffic. He has great vision on the court as well.
Tate creates for his teammates very well. He shot a very high percentage from the floor this past season. He has a very high basketball IQ. He also spaces the floor very well, and for a 6'4″ guy, he can rebound the ball very well. He averaged 6.2 rebounds per game this past season.
He is the energy guy NBA teams would love to have, and he labels himself as an energy guy.
"Just a tough guy," Tate said at the NBA Combine. "I think I can defend one through four, and just bring energy. My whole career at Ohio State, I've been that energy guy and a guy who's going to make tough plays. I'm able to score in the post and take bigger defenders on the drive, so I think that's going to be my fit."
He also wants to be a hard-nose defender in the NBA. He reads the floor very well on the defensive end of the floor. He creates havoc on that end of the floor. He averaged 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this past season. In total, he had 36 steals and 19 blocks on the season.
"I think I'm just going to be one of those tough-nosed defenders, man," Tate said. "That's my whole mindset. Go in there and just defend every play, and just whatever the coach needs me to do, that's what I want to do. I've done it at every level. I'm not really a position, have a position, but at every level I found a way to make it work. And I think if a team will just take a chance on me, I can be successful at the next level."
It may take a couple of years of development, but Tate is a sleeper in this draft. Any team needs an energy guy off the bench. He can be a Marcus Smart type of energy guy, spark plug off the bench. He certainly has the qualities to be that type of player. What makes this kid special is how high of a percentage he shoots on the offensive end. Not many college players shoot 55.7 percent from the floor. The one aspect of his offensive game he needs work on is his three point shooting. It will come overtime. He shot 31.4 percent from three in his this past season.
Tate wants to be a hybrid type of player who can be in small-ball lineups.
"I don't like to use the comparison but kind of like a Draymond-type guy; like a hybrid, play small ball, able to defend guards and bigger offensive players," Tate said.

NBA Daily: Don't Sleep on Fred Hoiberg
With the team the Bulls have assembled this summer, Fred Hoiberg finally has the chance to run things the way he always wanted.
Fred Hoiberg hasn't exactly had the best start as a head coach in the NBA.
In the three years that Hoiberg has coached the Bulls, the team has only gotten to the playoffs once as an eighth seed, where they were eliminated by the Celtics in six games.
Since taking the reins as coach, Hoiberg has tried to implement a pace-and-space system with Chicago. This approach would be hard to execute on a team like the Bulls over the last several years since Hoiberg's best players weren't exactly sharpshooters.
In the last four years, Hoiberg's marquee players have included Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol, Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Taj Gibson, and Robin Lopez, all of whom ranged from putrid to "meh" floor spacers. Hoiberg's system was not well-received by the team, specifically by Butler, which created much tension that escalated to the point of Butler issuing an "it's him or me!" ultimatum to Bulls management.
Unlike almost every other team who's been through similar conflicts between players and coaches, Chicago sided with the coach. Again, Hoiberg has not led the Bulls to much success, but the glimpses of excellence that have shown themselves from the system that he's designed may very well show that the Bulls made the right choice.
It wasn't too long ago that Hoiberg was holding his own against Brad Stevens in a playoff series, who many believe is one of the best coaches in the game at the moment. In the first round of the 2017 playoffs, the Bulls stole the first two games from the top-seeded Celtics while in Boston. Many point to the brilliance of Rajon Rondo for why the Bulls pulled ahead, which is mostly true, but the Bulls' hot shooting in both games gave them an edge.
Between individual performances—Bobby Portis shot 8-for-10 including from 3-for-4 from three-point land in Game 1—or all-around team performances—the team shot 10-for-25 from three in Game 2, the shooting gave the Bulls an edge, which fueled hope for a potential upset.
Of course, it was all fluky given that Chicago shot 34 percent from three in the regular season, good for 24th in the league. Nonetheless, their spacing sent the Celtics spinning. The tides inevitably turned once Rondo went out with a thumb injury, effectively dooming the Bulls. Still, for a brief moment, Hoiberg's strategy proved successful.
The Bulls later went full rebuild when they got rid of Butler, Rondo, and Wade, but somehow, we got yet another glimpse of Hoiberg's brilliance. Record-wise, the Bulls were nothing to brag about, as their 27-55 record tied for sixth-worst record in the league, lowlighted by their 3-20 start. However, once Nikola Mirotic returned from injury, the Bulls went on a tear.
In a 12-game span, the Bulls had gone 10-2, beating half of the East's playoff teams, including Boston, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia. Mirotic's return catapulted the Bulls' three-point shooting, as they shot 38 percent from deep while shooting an average of 26 shots per game. It didn't seem possible given all they got rid of, but the Bulls were rolling.
At that point, it didn't matter because the Bulls were already in too big a hole to dig themselves out of, but Hoiberg's system yet again got some results.
The rebuild is in full swing in the Windy City. but after the moves that the Bulls have made this summer, Hoiberg may finally show the NBA what he's made of this upcoming season.
First, they drafted Wendell Carter with the seventh overall pick in the draft. Fans were understandably furious that the Bulls' surprising albeit pointless 10-2 run midseason played a part in killing their chances of getting a top-5 pick in a loaded draft, but Carter put their anger to rest with his brilliant all-around play in the summer league.
Second, they re-signed Zach LaVine. The Bulls raised some eyebrows when they matched the very expensive offer sheet that LaVine signed with Sacramento, but LaVine looked like he hadn't missed a beat when he came back late in the season. Now that he'll have a full training camp under his belt, LaVine should be able to better acclimate himself into the Bulls' game plan by the time the season begins.
Third, they added Jabari Parker. Parker will be one of the bigger question marks coming into this season given his injury history, but his potential as a dynamic scorer in this league is still untapped. Better yet, being a Chicago native and having a team option next year, Parker may be extra motivated to show why he was the second overall pick in the 2014 draft.
Factor in these guys with the exciting youth movement that Chicago already has in place, and the Bulls have formed a team that can only be described as "not good, but fun."
But there's more to it than that. This isn't just about the talent that Chicago has accumulated since trading Jimmy Butler. The fact of the matter is, they're now building the team that Fred Hoiberg always wanted to run after all these years.
Look at the three-point percentages from the Bulls' young rotation from this past season:
Jabari Parker: 38 percent
Denzel Valentine: 38 percent
Lauri Markkanen: 36 percent
Bobby Portis: 36 percent
Zach Lavine: 34 percent
Kris Dunn: 32 percent
They may not have a Kyle Korver or a Ray Allen type, but that is all-around a step up compared to the shooters they had before. Factoring in Wendell Carter's floor spacing in college (41 percent from three) and their other first-rounder Chandler Hutchison (35 percent), the Bulls youth movement can finally give Hoiberg the spacing he wants.
As for pacing, the Bulls are also on the up and up.
In Hoiberg's first year, the Bulls ran at a pace of 95.7, which tied for 15th in the league. In his second, they ran at a pace of 95.3, good for 20th in the league. This past season, they've bumped themselves all the way to 10th as they played at a pace of 98.3. Now that Parker and LaVine are anticipated to play this season with a clean slate of health, their pace should continue to go up as Hoiberg has wanted from the beginning.
There will most definitely be some hurdles for the Bulls this season. Besides the fact that they are a very young team, nobody will be exactly intimidated by the Bulls' defense. The Bull ranked 24th in defensive rating last year, allowing 110.8 points per 100 possessions, and there's not much they can do to improve that outside of the addition of Carter. Dunn and Robin Lopez are more than solid, but LaVine, Parker, and Markkanen aren't making an all-NBA Defense team anytime soon.
All of that, however, is part of the learning process for both Hoiberg and these Baby Bulls. Once again, the bar for them is set at "not good, but fun." The Bulls had the worst point differential in the Eastern conference at -7.0, so there's plenty of room for improvement for them, especially now that there is nothing holding back their coach.
With Hoiberg's vision coming to fruition, and the Eastern Conference having quite a few iffy teams, this is an opportunity for the fourth-year coach to prove once and for all that he was the right man for the job when the Bulls hired him to replace the well-esteemed Tom Thibodeau.
In other words, for Chicago to succeed, Hoiberg must take the bull by the horns.
NBA Daily: Who Could Be The Next Star On The Move?
With the 2018-19 NBA Season approaching, the big question being asked is who is the next star player on the move, Steve Kyler takes a look at a few of the names to watch.
Who Is Next?
Twelve months ago, the idea that former Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard would be anywhere but San Antonio seemed laughable. But as history has shown in the NBA, it doesn't take much for a seemingly untouchable star to ask for a trade out of even the greatest of situations.
With that in mind, how are some of the guys to watch in 2018-19 that could end up in a similar, albeit not nearly as awkward, situation.
Jimmy Butler – Minnesota Timberwolves
It is easy to forget that Wolves All-Star Jimmy Butler did not choose Minnesota, it was chosen for him. And while the situation was ideal for Jimmy in being reunited with head coach Tom Thibodeau, he didn't pick the Wolves, they picked him.
Butler made the most of his first season in Minnesota, but for most of the year and all of the off-season there have been stories about Butler being frustrated with how the young players on the roster compete and look at the game, and that maybe he's not all the way on board with the direction of the franchise.
Butler has a long history of being a tough guy to play with, mainly because of his competitive nature. Butler has not qualms about laying into a teammate both publicly and privately, and that can wear thin on young guys who may not be as thick-skinned as Butler wants them to be. Tough love doesn't work with everyone.
The Wolves have been trying to get Butler to agree to a multi-year extension, but the problem is extensions are based on the final year of a player's contract. That's not in Butler's best financial interest, meaning he'll likely hit unrestricted free agency in July, if only to re-set his deal and ensure he gets as much money as possible.
The uncertainty of pending free agency combined with roster frustrations makes Butler a name to watch as the season gets underway.
The narrative from Minnesota is they won't trade him. We'll see how steadfast they remain if frictions between Butler and the young guys pick up where they left off, or worse yet, if the Wolves struggle to get out front in a loaded Western Conference.
Damian Lillard – Portland Trail Blazers
Anyone that has spent time with Blazers guard Damian Lillard will tell you he is loyal to a fault. For the Trail Blazers, that's a good thing because he'll likely give them a runway longer than maybe they deserve based on how the roster and the salary cap has been managed. The additional upside for Portland is Lillard is under guaranteed contract for three more seasons, including the upcoming one.
That said, does anyone believe the Blazers are serious contenders?
This will be the problem the Blazers have to battle. Not the fact they won 49 games last season and nabbed the third seed in the West; it's the perception they are second tier.
Some would say that's on the Blazers players to evolve in their contracts and star status in the NBA, and that might be a fair criticism, but how often in the modern NBA has the potentially disgruntled or unhappy player taken ownership of the situation?
Given how differently Lillard is wired, he might be the first to shoulder the blame for his team's limitations in a genuine way, but there is a reality: the Golden State Warriors are not going anywhere in the short term. At what point does management in Portland simply sell high on the roster they have and try to reload or rebuild?
That's the real question to watch in this situation, because Lillard may never be the guy that askes out. The real question is, how long do the Blazers stick with what they have and end their season in May?
Does anyone believe Blazer's owner Paul Allen will be happy being the third seed every year of Lillard's contract?
Kyle Lowry – Toronto Raptors
Tick-tock. Kyle Lowry is on the clock.
When the Toronto Raptors opted to trade DeMar DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard, they made a big bet that not only would Leonard put them over the top in the East, but that his two-way style of play would yield more to the team than DeRozan.
The problem for the Raptors is Lowry and DeRozan were incredibly close, and the manner in which things were communicated has undoubtedly created a real and tangible awkwardness to the team dynamic.
Let's be real for a minute. Lowry is a pro; he'll come in and do his job and do it well. That's how Lowry is wired, so to think he'd be petty because his best friend was traded is misplaced, so let's make sure to table that idea.
There is, however, a reality that if Leonard and Lowry don't mesh on the court, Lowry could be moved. Equally, if things don't come together by the deadline, the Raptors could be in fire sale mode, not only with Lowry but with Leonard.
The Raptors made a big bet on Leonard; if that bet doesn't look like it will pay off, all bets are off in Toronto, and the roster could get flipped on its head at the deadline, and that makes Lowry a name to watch.
Anthony Davis – New Orleans Pelicans
Amusingly, the guy that sings the praises for his current team is the one most people talk about when they dream about the next big fish to switch teams, and that's Pelicans All-Star Anthony Davis.
It's important to point out Davis has never hinted at being anything but thrilled with the Pelicans and his trust in his team.
Skeptics will point out virtually every star player that changed teams said basically the same kinds of things at similar points in their contracts. Davis has two fully guaranteed years left on his deal in New Orleans, and a Player Option in 2020-21.
This will be a big year for the Pelicans and Davis. They had an amazing run in the post-season last year and may have finally found the right kinds of players to play with Davis in a way that could yield post-season success. The fear in all of this is that even with the Pelicans' window being fairly open right now, do they have enough to be elite in the West?
Davis continues to say all the right things, and he will soon be eligible for a Super Max contract extension from the Pelicans worth some $220 plus million. The question becomes, will he sign it or put himself front and center in the rumor mill?
At this point, Davis seems thrilled with his team, and that's a huge positive for the Pelicans. The question is, will he stay happy if they don't gain ground?
At this point, none of these guys seem ready to bail on their team, but like Leonard a year ago, no one saw the distrust brewing or the desire to exit as being even a remote reality. One thing that has been true in the current iteration of the NBA is that even the biggest of stars will look for the door if their teams are not moving towards a championship, and that's the biggest reason to watch some of these names, because they are all crossing into that point in their career where being a star with a lot of money may not be enough to justify being home and not deep into the playoffs in May.

NBA Daily: Celtics Retain Glue Guy in Marcus Smart
The Celtics are going for gold this season, which is why keeping Marcus Smart long-term was absolutely the right move.
Every championship team needs its glue guy.
Without Andre Iguodala, the Warriors proved to be quite vulnerable when the Rockets pushed them to the brink in this year's conference finals. Without Shane Battier, the Lebron-led Heat teams would have never had that extra gear to push them to a championship. Without Lamar Odom, the Kobe-Pau Lakers never regained their status as title contenders.
The most distinguished glue guy to ever step foot on a basketball court was one Robert Horry. "Big Shot Bob" never came close to being a star when he played, but he will always be remembered for his consistent abilities to come through in the clutch for seven championship teams over his 16-year career.
Stars are without a doubt the main ingredient to any championship team in this league, but the glue guys are the ones that add the finishing touches.
There aren't set criteria for what makes a player a "glue guy". He doesn't necessarily have to be a dead-eye three-point shooter. He doesn't have to be a top-notch athlete. He doesn't have to be a defensive guru or a scoring spark. What qualifies a player for the title of glue guy is his ability to give his team an extra edge.
Since joining the league in 2014, Marcus Smart has become the NBA's ultimate glue guy, which primarily comes from him being one of the league's most unique players.
In the past four years, Smart has been the living embodiment of a mixed bag. From the very get-go, Smart has been one of the league's best, most versatile defenders, capable of holding his own against just about any player of any height. Better yet, his effort and hustle for loose balls really set the tone for the Celtics' defense on a nightly basis. Anyone who has watched him would tell you that Smart would put his life on the line if it meant bettering his team.
That, unfortunately, has been evened out by Smart's offensive shortcomings, specifically shooting-wise. Smart's shooting percentages are not just bad. They're historically bad. Smart has consistently shot in the 35-36 range percentage-wise from the field, including only breaking through the 30 percent from three-point barrier twice in his four-year career.
But that's what makes watching Smart so entertaining. He's never been afraid of the moment. It doesn't matter if he gets blocked in embarrassing fashion as he drives for a layup or if he airballs a wide-open three-pointer. If given the chance, Smart will try those exact same actions again without a second thought.
Even if his shooting numbers are flat-out egregious, metrics have proven that the Celtics offense has been better with Smart on the floor than off. This year, the Celtics were +1.1 points per 100 possessions on offense with Smart on the floor during the regular season and were +0.7 points per 100 possessions with Smart on the floor in the playoffs as well.
Those aren't the most impressive numbers, but for someone who shoots at an impressively bad rate as Smart, those stats show that he can still be useful offensively. Smart's versatility, as he can play positions 1-3, as well as his passing abilities, as his assist averages have gone from up from three to five a game, may have something to do with that.
Smart's tenacity on both sides of the ball, for better or worse, makes him a winning player in this league, which effectively made him the first building block of the Brad Stevens era.
Smart technically wasn't on the Celtics when Brad Stevens first took over as head coach, but he joined the team just as the wheels started turning in the Brad Stevens era. From the last days of Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green to the brief but productive days of Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder to the potentially glorious of days of Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum among others, Smart's been there to do his fill for the Celtics. Judging off of the agreement that he and the Celtics came to, it sounds like the role he has is the one he wants for a long time.
A few months back, I had written about Smart's upcoming free agency, believing that his best course of action was to take the qualifying offer, but the agreement between Smart and the Celtics showed that both sides truly wanted Smart to be a Celtic long-term.
On the Celtics side, they could have ridden out Smart's restricted free agency, lowballed him even less or have him take the qualifying offer so that they could avoid the luxury tax. On Smart's side, with the market dried up, Smart could have taken the qualifying offer, played out the season then see who would be interested in his services next summer in a free agency that's expected to have a lot more available money.
Instead, the two came agreed because both wanted Smart to remain a Celtic, and why wouldn't they? There's a fair argument that without Smart, the Celtics could have been eliminated as early as the first round. The Bucks had the Celtics right where they wanted them when they tied them 2-2 in the first round, but when Smart came back from his wrist injury the following game, he gave the Celtics another dimension that sealed the Bucks' fate.
Though Smart's contributions played a key role in avoiding the upset against the Bucks, it was Smart's play against the Sixers in the second round, specifically in the last minute of the series-clinching win in Game 5, that showed not just how important Smart is to the Celtics, but also summarized the Marcus Smart experience as a whole.
In the last minute of Game 5 with the Celtics down a bucket, Smart did the following:
-Tipped in a missed lay-up by Jayson Tatum to tie the game
-Forced Dario Saric to turn the ball over on a risky no-call
-Found Tatum in the post for the go-ahead layup
-Missed a free throw he was trying to make
-Made a free throw he was trying to miss
-Intercepted Ben Simmons' hail mary heave as time expired
Did Smart win that game by himself? No, but he was the catalyst to the Celtics' victory. If it hadn't been for him, the Celtics could have very well gone back to Philadelphia with only a one-game lead and all the momentum shifting to the Sixers' side. Instead, Boston went on to their second consecutive conference finals in a gentleman's sweep.
Smart may not be a star, but his impact on the Celtics is undeniable. Fans have been wondering for years if Smart was the right pick when the Celtics took him sixth overall in the 2014 draft. To answer that, they must know that Brad Stevens has valued versatility above everything else since becoming the Celtics' head coach. Smart's style isn't the prettiest, but he fits Stevens' versatile way of thinking to a T, meaning that, in the end, he helps his team win.
Even if he'll give everyone a heart attack first.

Onset of high temperatures poses dangers to pets
PHOENIX — With temperatures at or near the 100-degree mark, the Arizona Animal Welfare League & Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (AAWL & SPCA) is reminding pet owners not to leave animals in their cars and offering other ways to keep them safe.
Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat-related illness because they can only cool off by panting and through the pads of their feet. A dog's normal body temperature is between 101 to 102.5 degrees; a dog can only withstand a high body temperature for a short time before suffering nerve damage, heart problems, liver damage, brain damage or even death.
Pet owners are reminded:
Never leave your pets in a car. When temperatures climb above 70°, a parked car can quickly become a furnace. In a study by San Francisco State University, when it was 80 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car rose to 99 degrees in 10 minutes and 109 degrees in 20 minutes. Studies show that cracking the windows has little effect on a car's internal temperature.
In the state of Arizona is it against the law to leave an animal in a parked car if injury or death can be a result.
Be careful not to over-exercise your pet. Only walk your dog early in the morning or at night well after the sun has set. Before walking, test the pavement − if it's too hot for the palm of your hand, it's too hot for your pet's paws, too.
Make sure pets have a shady place to get out of the sun. If your dog must be outside during the day, be sure that he has shade available at all times, and remember, what is shady in the morning might not be shady in the afternoon. Keep pets indoors if the temperature is over 90 degrees.
Be sure to give pets plenty of water. At all times provide cool, clean water in a nonmetal, spill-proof bowl.
Dogs get sunburns too. Be sure no skin is exposed to direct sunlight.
Cool treats for your dog
Treat your pet to "popsicles" by freezing chicken or beef broth in ice cube trays; add bits of doggie treats before freezing.
Or, use the hose to give your dog a bath and some summer fun. Be sure to let the water run until cool before spraying you or your pet.

Helen Tufts Bailie papers

> Biographical Note
Biographical Note
Helen Matilda Tufts was born in Newark, New Jersey, January 9, 1874. The family moved to Massachusetts in 1875 and Helen graduated from Cotting High School in Lexington, Massachusetts, in 1892. She worked in a printing office where she learned to set type, as a proofreader at the Riverside Press, and did secretarial work at Houghton Mifflin Company in Boston.
In April 1895 Helen met labor organizer, anarchist and writer Helena Born, who became a close and influential friend. It was through Helena's influence that Helen became interested in vegetarianism, socialism, communism, anarchism, dress reform, and Walt Whitman. It was also through Helena that she met William Bailie, who lived in and ran a cooperative vegetarian restaurant with her. In January 1901, Helena Born was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus and died later that month. Helen Tufts and William Bailie lived together from the fall of 1901 and were legally married in October 1908. William Bailie owned and operated a basketweaving business until his retirement in 1946. Their daughter, Helena Isabel was born in 1914. A son Terrill (nicknamed Sonny), born in 1916, died of spinal meningitis at the age of three.
Helen Tufts Bailie joined the Anne Adams Tufts chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in 1915. In 1927 she discovered that the society's officers maintained lists of "doubtful speakers," which included individuals and organizations such as Mary Woolley, Jane Addams, William Allen White, The National Federation of Women's Clubs, and the American Peace Society. After investigating the blacklists, Bailie made them public in February 1928. In March she wrote a pamphlet entitled "Our Threatened Heritage" protesting the blacklist. The pamphlet was signed by fifteen other DAR members (known as the "Committee on Protest") and distributed nationally. At the annual DAR Congress in Washington, DC, Helen and others continued to press for an explanation of the lists. Helen was charged with disturbing the harmony of the DAR and injuring its reputation, and after a hearing was held to consider the charges, she was promptly expelled. At the following year's DAR Congress, she unsuccessfully appealed for reinstatement. Bailie continued to be active in various causes, including a letter writing campaign to legalize birth control and another in 1935 against legislation requiring Massachusetts teachers to take an oath affirming the United States and state constitutions.
Helen and William Bailie moved to Nantucket in 1947. With Helen's failing eyesight and William's Alzheimer-like symptoms increasing, they moved to Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1954 to live with their daughter Helena and her husband, Walter Jolly. Helen's book Darling Daughter: A Satirical Novel about the DAR blacklists and the "Red Scare" was published in 1956.
William Bailie died at a nursing home in May 1957. Helen Tufts Bailie moved to Miami, Florida, in 1958, and later to Ft. Lauderdale. She died in 1962. Helen Tufts Bailie Papers

It maybe a little confusing with the name of this site being hossbotics.com (just needed a domain name and couldn't think of anything better at the moment), but Hossbotics is a robots engine I'm writing from scratch for running Lazlo. It is entirley written in C# and is currently based on .NET v3.5, although I may move to v4.0 if a good reason comes up. Work on it is *very* slow, it's just a hobby, something for fun in my spare time. :)
The app is a GUI app that displays live logging (same content is written to a file as well), monitoring of all sensors and systems, as well as a place for settings. Settings are stored in an app.config file.
I do have ideas of trying to make it generic so that it could be used on other robots and possibly even other people on their robots. But thats a long term goal that will most likely never see fruition. More likely, it might be organized well enough that someone could take the source code and use it as a starting point and customize to suit their needs.
I don't bother posting the source code now as the app is in very early stages so there is a lot of code churn, refactoring, lack of comments, hacks, etc. But if for some reason you really want it, just contact me.

Fix Simple Problems With puppet-lint
Jan 2013
Since the first release of puppet-lint, one of the top two feature requests has been the ability to automatically fix trivial style issues (detecting problems is all well and good but no one wants to manually fix the eleventy thousand problems that have accumulated over the years).
To that end, I have just shipped a beta release of puppet-lint (0.4.0.pre1) which includes the experimental fixing support! I highly encourage everyone to give it a try and report any issues they find.
Currently, puppet-lint supports fixing a limited subset of detectable problems. There will probably be more added to this list over time however some problems will always require a human to decide how to proceed.
At this time, puppet-lint do the following for you:
- Converting
//comments into
- Quoting unquoted resource titles.
- Quoting unquoted file mode strings.
- Converting 3 digit octal file modes into 4 digit modes.
- Converting double quoted strings without variables into single quoted strings.
- Converting double quoted strings that only contain a variable into an unquoted variable.
- Enclosing variables in double quoted strings that haven't been enclosed in braces.
- Unquoting quoted boolean values.
- Converting hard tabs into 2 space soft tabs.
- Removing trailing whitespace.
- Fixing arrow (
=>) alignment in resources and hashes.
Caveat Emptor
Running puppet-lint with fix mode enabled is a potentially destructive action.
I'm going to assume that your manifests are stored in some sort of version control and that you're comfortable discarding the changes puppet-lint makes if you don't like them.
Trying it out
First of all install the new version, either with RubyGems:
1 gem install --pre puppet-lint -v 0.4.0.pre1
or Bundler:
1 gem 'puppet-lint', '0.4.0.pre1'
Then just call puppet-lint with the
-f or
--fix option
1 $ puppet-lint -f test.pp
2 FIXED: double quoted string containing no variables on line 1
3 FIXED: string containing only a variable on line 3
4 FIXED: indentation of => is not properly aligned on line 5
5 FIXED: unquoted file mode on line 5
6 FIXED: mode should be represented as a 4 digit octal value or symbolic mode on line 5
And the diff of the changes to my test file is
1 diff --git a/test.pp b/test.pp
2 index 7cd1e93..4d455cf 100644
3 --- a/test.pp
4 +++ b/test.pp
5 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
6 -$foo = "/tmp/foo"
7 +$foo = '/tmp/foo'
9 -file { "$foo":
10 +file { $foo:
11 ensure => present,
12 - mode => 444,
13 + mode => '0444',
14 }
So, please try it out and create an issue on the repository if you run into any problems!


text: I'm pretty sure there was a thread addressing this topic on here, but I couldn't seem to find it. Perhaps it was OT in another thread. Anyways, I want to put a fretless neck onto my MIM jazz since I just got a Jazz V and I rarely play it anymore. I was wondering if any of you have suggestions on whether to start out on a lined or unlined neck? I think the unlined neck is WAY sexier, though it might be good to have a guide for the fretting since I'm new to fretless. What do you think?

Reviews From Your Neighbors
Tony DeSantis
They look amazing! Thank you for the fast turnaround time. I restore vintage Kawasaki's as a hobby, I've always wanted to vapor blast my engine cases and cylinders but didn't know who to send them to. I take my bikes to many shows and some of my restored vintage motocross bikes were featured in racer X on line. I will refer you to people at the shows I go to. They always ask me where I get my paint, chrome and powder coating done and now vapor blasting.
Thank you!!

Small but stylish home in Oella
Marietta Ries has no compunction about her decision to live little. When she and her partner, Pete Boettcher, both 54, decided to ditch urban life, they found an 1,800-square-foot duplex in Ellicott City's historic Oella neighborhood. Ries fell for the home's features, including its petite proportions.
