Community events
Nowadays, several community organizations and every penny counts are feeling the pinch of hosting events with no education from a health and safety advisor. Reliable funding sources are narrow, and the ones that do exist are drying up like puddles in a drought. If you are scrambling to locate creative means to increase revenue for your community group, or simply need to develop a rollicking good occasion notion that will pay for itself create excitement and hopefully. These are some of the best and secure community events for summer.
Have a Treasure Hunt
Many people desire to support worthy causes and are naturally generous. The possibility for a windfall does not hurt, however. A treasure hunt is just like a raffle on steroids. This makes people to think creatively and vigorously engaged in the search and you realize there is nothing quite as fulfilling as finding secret treasure. Most people really love this notion because it is an indoor or outside activity, therefore it is an alternative. It can be subject special or not, and geared toward children, adults or both. All-you require is a hiding place, a prize, some pleasure and cryptic hints, plus a signup sheet. Where X marks the spot you don't even must conceal the award; where in fact the treasure ought to be only put a pennant. The winner can use it to claim his prize
Have a large garage Sale
Do you know those community garage sales you see advertised in the paper? You can certainly do this. In Fact, there are a small number of methods to arrange multi-household garage sales. One is to get on exactly the same day adjoining dwellings all actions garage sales. Let us name it a garage-a-thon. Usually this attracts a huge crowd because there is a chance for tons of deals but shoppers do not have to walk for a great distance or car hop from place to place.
Another alternative would be to get a central display area where multiple contributors can give goods for one huge big garage sale. Think of a mini flea market. If the space is available, particularly if you intend on it being a routine event it is a great alternative. Groups of buy hungry shoppers can mark their calendars for the big event each year.
Host a Nature Walk
Most people know somewhat about the blooms they plant in their flowerbeds but cannot tell the names to you of the indigenous species sprouting up in their tree lawns. Hosting a character walk around a community park is a great method to instruct the city about conservation and practices while identifying some of the important players in the world of regional flora and fauna. An extension officer in your region can provide some thoughts to you about getting started identifying the plants, trees, birds, insects and other critters you share space with. This is really a great add on occasion whenever you are already hosting an outdoor activity in a very natural setting. It will always be recommended to obtain guidance from a health and safety advisor before hosting a nature walk event.
Hold a Craft or Hobby Show
This idea is the most enjoyable because it is so flexible. From woodcarving to face painting, just about everybody has an interest. You do not always need lots of space to earn a craft show/exhibit show, either. From running a jewelry making demonstration within an unused corner of the local nail salon (with permission), to setting up a quilt exhibition in a local park by wrapping quilts across ropes looped from tree to tree, there are dozens and dozens of ways, big and little, that one can get innovative with community events. This is really a fantastic time to find how talented your associates and friends actually are.
Show off your crafting skills and make money boot
Throw a Block Party
Getting all your neighbors together for a day or evening has some good advantages: You'll have the ability to build up more than a nodding acquaintance with the people you are sharing air with, and you will start to cultivate a little of the tiny town atmosphere missing in several subdivisions across the nation. It has got the possible for making life more enjoyable for everybody. Knowing that someone you esteem and like is watching to ensure that your house is not vandalized while you are away for the weekend can become a huge anxiety reducer. The more neighbors you know, the more likely you're to seek a few you would not mind inviting over for lunch or poker night, also.
Planning a block party does not need to be that huge an endeavor for any one of you, if you're able to get some neighbors interested. In case your adolescent son has a garage band, you have already lined up the amusement. Add some folding chairs, mobile tables and married men who like to grill for a crowd and you have made an excellent beginning.
This really can be a bit simplistic, but things like sending out invitations, picking a place, performing follow up, arranging for meals and designating a clean-up detail follow fairly organically once you begin strategizing. If the thought gets some traction with the neighbors, you'll have loads of volunteers and more creative ideas than you know what to do with.
Late spring is a fantastic time for a block party. The weather is finally beginning to show promise, so merely being outside is really a treat. Oh, and consider making arrangements with your police department to reroute traffic all around your place for some hours, whether the notion really takes off. That way, there'll be less worry about the children and animals.
Get Permission First!
Holding a community event may call for public property or personal property. It could also lead to parking and traffic issues or others that could be disturbed by decibel levels. Before you place a down payment on such sound system or mega dumpster, ensure you have cleared the way by getting licenses and all the permissions you desire.

Either Dan Gilbert planted this kid or he's kicking himself that he didn't think of planting this kid. Here's Kyrie Irving withering in the face of a plaintive, puppy-eyed child who asks if he'll "leave us like LeBron left us":
That is some brilliant entrapment. Now Irving can't bolt when his contract's up for fear of that child's mewling visage haunting him for the rest of his life. Well played, Cleveland.

I know we are all a bit concerned about the Jazz right now, but I saw something to good not to post on. An article on ESPN talked about Amare Stoudemire calling Bruce Bowen a dirty player.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2007/news/story?id=2866789&campaign=rss&source=NBAHead lines
It talks about a youtube link so i hunted that down for everyone.
So now it's time to ask, cause there is a possibility that the Warriors could end up playing the Spurs and Bowen, do you think Bruce Bowen is a dirty player?? I'd hate to see Baron or JR come down on his foot and sprain an ankle.
IMO - Bowen doesnt try to intentionally hurt players, however he plays in a way that greatly increases the chance of an injury occuring. Im not sure if thats ok or not, I personally can't stand watching the Spurs anyway because their games are so boring and Ginobili walks all the time (maybe only most of the time).

We need a LEO craft now. Lunar missions already have other equipment including the booster for the equipment. Orion is only a means to get them up and down.
We need a LEO craft now. Lunar missions already have other equipment including the booster for the equipment. Orion is only a means to get them up and down.
also, a swissknife-SM may be useful also for LEO operations, like... move the ISS to a much higher orbit, move big or multiple cargo (from a low orbit to ISS or another place) with a single Orion, move a big cargo launched with the Ares-V (like a giant telescope or the modules for a bigger ISS) work in LEO as a rescue vehicle ALSO from/to different orbital planes, fly in LEO moving the additional mass of a space-lab/assembly-tool/robot-arm/airlock-habitat/fuel-depot (etc.) move/reboost the Hubble, go to/from different places/stations, etc. (with these examples the list of "good reasons to build a SwissKnife-Orion" in my article reaches 16 points!!!)
And, if we need to design an alternative booster for lunar missions then why not use that alternative for these missions also?
Like I said, the Orion is used to get astronauts up and down. Most of the missions you mention in that post require more than just getting men from one place to another. And station to station? Which two are you speaking of? And where in orbit are they.
NASA will build two boosters for lunar missions (Ares-IV and Ares-V) ...there is no need of an "alternative booster" (or just if they want to save money)...design an alternative booster for lunar missions...
why waste the time and money of an Orion launch for a single function if each Orion can accomplish many jobs?...the Orion is used to get astronauts up and down...
not to-day, of course, but in future we can imagine to have many space stations (the Orion is planned to fly 30+ years)And station to station?
Second: I described how they can be accomplished without the large tanks.
We had the same apollo capsule/SM for LEO on Sat-1 launches as we did for lunar missions. The A-8 package was the full SatV equipment used for the entire landing mission, but the CM/SM was the same.
we talk of two different architectures for moon missions that can't be merged
the standard ESAS architecture doesn't need any special Orion, then, it's useless to talk of it here
MY architecture needs a Lunar Space Station and some reusable-LSAMs
if ESAS will shift to MY architecture, ALL lunar-Orion will need a bigSM (to perform LOI and TEI) a small-EDS and a smaller Ares
the smaller Ares can be used to launch one LSS module OR one reusable-LSAM OR a SwissKnifeOrion OR the LSAM refuels OR a cargo-LSAM, etc.
of course, a better Orion can perform many additional tasks also in LEO (as explained in my latest posts)
There are a lot more ways to get things done. You have shown us many alternatives, over and over again.
NASA can only choose one way, so they consider all the ways, and determine what suits thier needs best. Naturally; that leaves a lot more ways that NASA doesn't choose. It's a fact, and there's no possible way to change that.
since the "first (poor and bad) generation" will fly from 2021 for 5-10 years, the "next (better and cheaper) generation" will be "made in China"As Orion gives us experience with this kind of architecture, then the next generation will be even better.
they have made MANY changes in less than a year, then, many other will/may happe...your concept will work, but it is not what NASA needs...
need or non needed (no) add these options cost $0.oo (if ALL Orions will born with the large tanks built-in)...but they are not needed...
true, but ALL other ways (than simple tanks) needs extra R&D time and money, extra-hardware, extra risks and EXTRA-FUNDSThere are a lot more ways to get things done.
not "many alternatives" but "many parts" of an altarnative architectureYou have shown us many alternatives.
I try to explain my opinion with a furher example: just imagine that NASA is a underground railway industry that must design the trains for a little city's subway... the small city has some old non-standard rails and trains, so, NASA develops all new wagons to run on these old rails, also, they design/build the new subway's lines with the same specs (for a total investment of $100M)
if the subway hardware will be used ONLY in this small city, there is non need to change the trains and the rails specs and everything will work fine, but, changing the full design to match the national/international subway and railroads trains and specs, the SAME hardware (developed/built with the SAME funds) will have MANY other options:
use low cost standard rails, run on existing railroads to save on tracks, build lines to connect bigger and/or closer cities that use standard hardware, sell the same (standard) hardware to other cities and countries, repair trains and rails with standard parts instead of spend money to have many spare-parts ready to use, etc. etc. etc.
of course, the trains/rails/specs can be changed in future, but spending TWICE the money and the time!
the same for Orion... NASA can build the planned (small tanks) SM designed for a SINGLE kind of mission (and spend further time and money in future when they need better version) OR build the BEST version NOW saving very much time and money to have a vehicle READY for MANY different kind of missions and purposes (no matter if these will happen soon or later)
the SwissKnife-Orion with its larger SM tanks is mainly a choice of LOGIC and COMMON SENSE rather than engineering and economics
This is new designs with new missions, and they are being designed and planned together.
NASA has predefined missions to accomplish. They are designing a ship to meet these missions. Anything more than that, and they run the risk of the public to pull the plug.
I think you're going about your argument all wrong by putting the cart before the horse. You're trying to sell the idea of the SwissKnife-Orion before you've sold the reasons for requiring it. You shouldn't care what Orion looks like because that will take care of itself. You need to sell the plan. If you can get people to buy into your plan for the future, the spacecraft required to implement that plan will emerge as a consequence.
For instance, you've said many times that your SwissKnife-Orion can perform Apollo 8-like missions. Okay, I agree. I also don't care. Why should I care about flying Apollo 8-like missions? Where does that fit into the grand plan? Why should I support a plan to build a spacecraft capable of flying Apollo 8-like missions when I don't see the value of or need for such missions? You see, you have to develop and sell a plan and the architecture to implement that plan. Without that you look directionless. You are going to have a hard time selling a spacecraft design before you sell a well structured plan for its use.
unfortunately as the vannette as pictured showed
the reduced costs/weights`in comparison' with the basic `striped down economy model' arent...
campers as shown are notorious in the auto trade- perfect paint and body-clapped out mechanically because the bits that fold out add up to a fully loaded van at all times....so its worn out
(this i know as i work on kombi campers for a living lol)
i still cant see how this foldout `space camper' can be either cheaper or lighter than a purpose built craft- every camper ive worked on leaks like a sieve-not something id really like in a spacecraft...
and nothing ive seen so far in the links shows how protection against micrometeors etc would work?
R.I.P. Bad Astronomy
the point i was trying to make was that having an `all in one' is rarely anywhere as effective as a `specially designed for the job'
ie the bigger tanks that (from what ive read so far in the link) may or may not be used depending on the job
will still be used every time
bigger tanks ie more weight(even empty tanks still have weight(or mass))
ie more fuel to get into orbit in the first place
ie more $$ per launch
(which is why (imho) the shuttle went wrong in the first place)
too expensive as it tried to do everything for everyone
again (purely imho) simple cheap robust designs that do their own job are the way to do things
R.I.P. Bad Astronomy
I doubt that (or, simply, I don't know if) ideas and proposals published on internet may have any influence on the official plans since (I believe) space agencies have no time to surf the web
however, you are wrong about the fact that my SwissKnife-Orion is unnecessary in the "grand plan" since you've missed that NASA has already changed very much the early plan
the main differences between the early ESAS plan and "my plan" are in three little steps (two of them ALREADY adopted by NASA in the latest months!):
1. change from lunar sortie-missions to "base first" (in december 2006)
2. new rocket (Ares-IV with Ares-I 2nd stage as small-EDS) for Apollo-8 flights (in january 2007)
3. reusable-LSAMs
now a SwissKnife-Orion can be used only for a few Apollo-8 missions with the AresIV but, IF and WHEN a reusable-LSAM will be adopted by NASA, 100% of the crew missions will be like the Apollo-8, so, the Ares-V will be deleted and ALL crewed flights will use the Ares-IV/small-EDS/SwissKnife-Orion trio

Britney Is Pretty in Pink, Public Bathroom Style
by Molly Goodson 57 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Britney's come a long way over the past couple of months, but some things never change. She stopped off to use the McDonald's restroom in Malibu yesterday during an afternoon out on the town. Girl can't help it, she just loves herself a public bathroom. People may be ready to celebrate Anti-Britneys and the like, but we're definitely still holding out hope (which is finally going well — yay) for the blonde bombshell popstar who stole people's hearts all those years ago.

Just like the rest of America I loved watching the Britney train wreck sensation, but you couldn't help but keep thinking "somebody save her, this is going to end bad". I've never been a fan- ever, but as a human being, I'm glad to see someone helped get her head on straight. Maybe she'll never be med free, maybe she'll always need handlers, but she's lucky to be alive in my opinion.

No one is saying this here, but I just wanted to comment that she is really not fat at all. The only reason people say that is because they are comparing her to how she used to look when she did like 1,000 sit-ups a day and had a grueling workout routine. She looks like a normal woman, and if no one knew who she was, no one would criticize her body. People would actually probably say she was no bigger than average, because she is not.

Wow, I see this as a complete turn around for her. Before it was all icky gas stations and bare feet. Now she's wearing shoes and it's MCDONALDS, which in the public restroom world is your best choice for when you gotta go! And she's had 2 kids, even after 1 it's harder to hold your bladder so I can see why she would need to go more than others while out and about. The other couple of billion people that do it just don't have cameras following them to record each potty break.

I never got the big deal with using the bathrooms? Is she supposed to not pee? The big deal with that was when she had no shoes on.... so I dont see the issue here...

I think she is doing great!

Chris and Cami and Tanzania
Chris and Cami Smith, who came here last November and put on their flash course called "Bending the Light: 411", returned from Tanzania and posted some of the photographs on their blog. All I can say is WOW-WE!
The photographs are wonderful! I'm particularly drawn to the portrait work. The first shot (shown here) is their typical blending of flash and natural light, that I wish I could duplicate. Great job guys!
When you get to their site, Chris and Cami Photography, go to the blog to see all of the photographs from the trip, the post is from Wednesday August 10th, 2011.
If you are interested in any trips like this, head to their Bending the Light site (above) and see what they've got planned.

The Denver Broncos were forced to punt the ball back to the New York Jets right as the fourth quarter started and the Jets were able to go down the field and score. The Jets went on a 10-play drive that ended in a 45-yard Nick Folk field goal that he just hooked between the uprights after missing a 50-yarder earlier in the game.
On the drive, quarterback Mark Sanchez hit running back Joe McKnight on a big screen that picked up 14-yards and moved the chains on 3rd-and-9. McKnight also had 19 rushing yards on the drive, picking up a total of 33 yards. Sanchez also took a beating on a few passing plays, being slow to get up after being battered over and over by the Broncos pass rush.

Due to the recent creation of the so-called "Miami Thrice" featuring CB1, LBJ, and D-Wade, the Portland Trail Blazers as currently constructed can't realistically compete for the Larry O'Brien Trophy from 2011 through 2016. As a result, a supersized consolidation trade is seemingly in order to shore up the starting lineup by making it a star-studded affair.
Now, I realize that the likelihood of making this following trade proposal of mine come to fruition might be a difficult undertaking -- especially considering the immense talent level of the two men I push for acquiring in this instance -- yet, in light of the rumors that've been floating around lately, I don't necessarily believe it's just a pie in the sky pipe dream.
So, with that noted, here's the trade proposal -- which'd have to be completed sometime after mid-August due to the trade restrictions on the recently signed rookies -- as well as a prospective roster below it whereby the team is filled out with suggested role players who could hypothetically be obtained via free agency.
Chris Paul ($14,940,153) {Trade Kicker Nullified}*
James Posey ($6,478,600) {10% Trade Kicker}
*Trade Kickers Can't Exceed The Maximum Salary Allowed For A Player's Tenure.

Willie Green ($3,976,000)
Outgoing Salaries: $16,321,200 X 125% + $100,000 = $20,501,500

Now, I'm sure many of y'all will love this idea, a few of y'all will hate it -- although I'd be curious as to why -- and most of y'all will correctly slam the ostensibly unrealistic nature of such a massive transaction. Yet, even though this might seem like an off-the-wall idea, I'm nevertheless curious as to what each and every one of y'all suggest to do in light of the NBA's now altered landscape. I mean, heck, it's definitely going to be an uphill battle from this point forward, so a plan is needed if Paul Allen and company -- who I believe are in over their heads -- wish to achieve the goal of bringing the Larry O'Brien Trophy home to Portland.
Yeah, it's time to go big or just stay home. And, well, I say that "big" is the answer.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (BP) -- Clint Pressley, senior pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte, N.C., will be nominated for the office of first vice-president of the Southern Baptist Convention when Baptists meet June 10-11 for their annual meeting in Baltimore, Md. Pastor Ted Traylor announced through the Biblical Recorder he will nominate Pressley.
"Clint is a gracious role model in many areas," Traylor, senior pastor of Olive Baptist Church, Pensacola, Fla., told the newsjournal of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina Feb. 28.
"He is a pastor/preacher that expounds the Scripture week by week to his people. He leads his church to be generous in Great Commission giving and going, and he leads Hickory Grove in numerous compassion ministries in the Charlotte area."
Right now Pressley serves as vice-president of the SBC Pastor's Conference and is a former vice-chairman of the trustees for Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky.
He is a graduate of Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C. and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, La. Pressley is currently completing the doctor of ministry program at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, N.C. He has also served churches in Alabama and Mississippi.
Traylor said, "It has been my joy to get to know Clint and Connie Pressley in the past several years. I am convinced he will serve Southern Baptists in a Christ-honoring fashion. It will be my joy and honor to nominate him in June."
Hickory Grove is one of the largest churches in North Carolina with more than 17,000 members. They have five worship services that meet weekly on two campuses and two Hispanic services. The church operates a Christian school with more than 940 students on the main campus.
Twenty-one of their members are now serving overseas through the International Mission Board (IMB), and they have sent out four North American Mission Board (NAMB) missionaries. The church is a partner with Toronto, Canada through SEND North America, and they have partnerships with church plants in Providence R.I. and Pittsburgh, Pa.
"I love the Southern Baptist Convention," Pressley said. "I'm thankful for the work of NAMB and IMB, and I want to keep supporting the convention. I want to see more younger guys getting excited about the work of our convention and how we do missions -- whether it's in North America or around the world. I think we do it as good as anyone."
Traylor's announcement comes after R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., announced his intention to nominate Ronnie Floyd, pastor of Cross Church in northwest Arkansas, as the next president of the SBC.

*During Jed's Post*
K'larrg (Extanding hand in human fashion)"Welcome aboard Mr. Jeggins, you honor this ship with your service."
Jeggins (Shaking the oddly cool hand)"Thank you sir. May I assume my duites, sir?"
K'larrg:"By all means Lt. Commander. I belive your father is touring engineering."
Jeggins:"Thank you, sir."
*Jeggins walks away*
Zardoz:"A human handshake, intersting choice there Captain."
K'larrg:"Is that not human custom? I belived I prefomed it correctly, Commdore."
Zardoz (Laughing)"It is indeed Captain, and you preformed it admirably."
K'larrg:"I would be honored sir, if you joined me for for the traditional pre mission bloodwine salute to all warriors."
Zardoz:"No Captain, it is I that would be honored. Lead the way. Is the bloodwine warm?"
*Gorkon Engineering-The Elder Jed Jeggins is talking to a group of engineers, as the younger Jeggins enters.*
Jeggins Dad:"...and then we were in this alternate universe where the Borg....get this...were peaceful!!"
*This gets oohs and ahhs from the group*
Jed:"I hate to break this up, but I belive Captain Jeggins was on a tour?"
*The group snaps to attnetion, and moves off as Jed slips in with his Dad.*
Jeggins Dad:"Well, if it's not Starfleet's latest "miricale worker! You'd better takle care of this old girl, she's been through alot."
Jed:"This is almost not the ship you knew Dad. You've read the refit reports.'
Jeggins Dad:"Multiphasic Sheilds, Bio Nucleaic gel pack computer components, Trans modulating Phasers, and the new Mark 16 Warp core. Just making the best a little better."
Jed:"I know Dad, you invented most of them."
Jeggins Dad:"But seriously, this is your ship now. I know a Captain runs the bridge, but it's us engineers who really run the ship."
Jed:"I know. This isn't my first posting you know."
Jeggins Dad:"I am sorry we were lost for so long, it wasn't like I had a choice that we were stuck in an alternate universe for 6 years."
Jed:"That didn't bother me Dad, I understood that. It was the two years after you got back before you even tried contacting my sister, and myself.
Jeggins Dad:"But you know what a circus it was when we brought the Gorkon back. Starfleet parading us around, the medals, the speaking engagements."
Jed:"Last time I checked, the comm channels still worked. Or, were you just too "busy?"
Jeggins Dad:"Ok, I f**ked up. I got back to find out your mother had died, and that hurt so deeply Jed. Seeing you, and your sister would have just made it worse.
Jed:"Maybe we could have got through it togeter as a family, but you didn't allow us the chance."
Jeggins Dad:"Ok, you're right. But I am here now, trying to make it better."
Jed (realizing):"You!! You were the reason I got this post!! I should have known."
Jeggins Dad:"No, you were qualified. I may have whispered in a couple of ears, but I did not "pull strings" top get you this assigment. Captain K'larrg spent several years as Picard's XO, and he does not play politics when it comes to crew."
Jed:"Alright, maybe I overreacted."
Jeggins Dad:"I know I haven't been the best parent since I returned. But, why not give your "old man" a second chance?"
Jed:"Ok. Why don't we go check out the Dilithium matrix settings? I have a few ideas that imporve on your concepts for tit."

Facebook today launched new version of Facebook Application Facebook 6.0.1 and also launches Facebook Sticker for iOS devices. Facebook Sticker are big smilies or big emoticons which will make Facebook Chat more exciting. As if now the Facebook Sticker is very new and not many people know about it, you can surely amaze your friends with these huge smilies. Facebook Stickers are available on iOS devices , iPhone and iPad only. To send Facebook Sticker, tap on small smiley icon on text box while you are chatting with your friend. A list of Facebook Sticker would appear. Just select the Sticker and it will be sent to your friend and next reply from your friend may be "Wow. How did you get this smiley ?". I have amazed several of my friends and now it is your turn to amaze your friends. You can add more types of Facebook Sticker , by selecting the CART icon in Facebook Sticker list. It will open Sticker Store and you can download the Sticker you want to. As if now all the Facebook Sticker are free however we may expect paid Facebook Sticker in future. Now addition of Facebook Sticker and Facebook Chat Heads has definitely added spice to Facebook Messenger. I personally like Facebook Sticker and looking forward for more Sticker options in Facebook Application.
We have so many reasons to like Facebook Sticker however we may not like Facebook Sticker ?
- Since Facebook Sticker is big and occupies almost complete screen , it adds more scrolling if you wish to check previous chats.
- In the list of Facebook Sticker, as soon as you select the Facebook Sticker, it will be shared with your friends and there is no confirmation or send button is required to send Sticker.
- There are still few old android mobile phones which cannot display Facebook Stickers. So if you are chatting with your friends who is using Android phones , he may not see stickers or it may take some time to load. Hence making it less meaningful.

Here we go with LaMarcus Aldridge and Channing Frye, as well as how they compare to a number of other power forwards in the league.
Please refer to Player DNA Part I for an explanation on how this data is collected, used in video games and by teams, and what its limitations are: It focuses exclusively on offense. And It shows how frequently a player does certain things, not how good. A visual tool for that would be the NBA Hotspots charts that I previously used for other comparisons. If a concrete trade would be going down, combining the two would be interesting to look at. Here is again the EA trailer to give you a brief idea.
While seemingly similar players with fans regularly claiming Channing was just a worse version of LaMarcus, they did play pretty differently last season. Channing took most of his shots spotting up (often from just within the three point line as we remember), while LaMarcus posts up his players much more often with his back to the basket before turning around for the shot. Again, this doesn't show how good the players are at either of these things. It's safe to say LMA has overtaken the earlier pick who he was compared to before the 2006 draft in about every category (1 NBADraft, 2 DraftExpress).
For some reason the database has a glitch and lists LaMarcus as a center, maybe because he played that position more frequently in 2007/08.
I won't use comparisons to our other PFs here (except Ike to Channing) since they played too infrequently. I also didn't include Travis, partly due to lack of space. I would prefer to put him in a post with Nic Batum and compare him to other SF and SF/PF players, although his future minutes might be split about evenly between the 3 and 4 position on the Blazers and he did perform good there. But it's still a bit hard to imagine him going up against all the guys below on a consistent basis in the final minutes especially regarding defense and rebounds.
External comparisons Aldridge
1. What might surprise people is that Aldridge in fact is posting up more than his often cited comparison and ceiling Chris Bosh ("get in the post LMA!!!"), while Bosh works significantly more in isolations taking his man off the dribble. He also slighty uses picks more often, which is again a bit surprising with Bosh having Calderon as his ball handler.
2. Another comparison that came up pretty often is Pau Gasol. He is even more specialized than LMA as a post up man, but uses cuts more than most power forwards which makes sense playing next to a lot of good shooters and passers in the triangle offense giving him open lanes (an extreme example is Millsap, who has a 40% tendency here. See below).
3. Yet another name that came up in discussions before the last deadline was Amare Stoudemire. The main problem I would see with him is his defense. Offensively he is attack the rim more than LMA via isolations as well as receicing the ball on cuts, and pick and rolls.
4. David West stands in the way of LaMarcus and the All-Star game at the moment (deservedly or not, though he is not the only one). Very good from mid-range, he gets a significant number of his attempts as a spot up shooter. Another large block is posting up his defender with his back to the basket, but not as much as other top power forwards. Surprisingly he doesn't seem to run a lot of pick and rolls with Chris Paul.
5. Dirk Nowitzki is a pretty unique being in the NBA anyway, so probably not that much to learn here. Maybe interesting to see that Dirk does a little bit of everything which is unusual for a power forward, and overall is more evenly distributed between his three most common offensive actions (iso, post up, spot up).
6. Another comparison that doesn't come up all that often is Tim Duncan. But why not take a look at how the best or at least the most successful PF/C of the last decade operates. Not that different actually. He doesn't spot up as much as LaMarcus, but apart from that they are surprisingly similar in their tendencies.
External comparisons Frye
1. Channing and Ike Diogu who the Blazers traded away again. As said above Frye got most of his plays as a spot up shooter and another big portion off the pick and roll/pick and pop. He rarely posted up, was used in isolations or cut to the basket. Diogu's game is of course a mix between his time in Portland and the games where he got more minutes in Sacramento. But it's easy to see that he is a very different player.
2. A name coming up frequently in free agent plans for this summer is Brandon Bass, who distributes his plays fairly evenly between five of the seven categories tracked here.
3. Another one is Paul Millsap, which will likely remain just a dream as Utah is very high on him. Unusual is the high number of plays on which he cuts, which is over 10% higher than the respective number for his teammate Carlos Boozer (8, 0, 14, 29, 21, 2, 26). And the relatively low number of pick and rolls (for both). Wasn't that the specialty in Utah not too long ago?
4. Another likely pipe dream would be David Lee for his ability to play PF and when in need C (or even SF in emergency). He is pretty sure to remain in NY unless he demands just plain too much. Another player who gets many of his points from cutting, but also a lot from posting up and picks.
5. Here is an example of a player who posts up a ton: Chris Wilcox, who occasionally gets mentioned as an available player to fill out the backup position. Wasn't the most active player in Seattle (as pictured in his jersey here) and OKC, but might be an option.
6. Charlie Villanueva might be described as a rich man's Channing Frye. Similar playing style, but a much higher efficiency. Picked in the same draft, he has developed quite a bit better in Milwaukee. As another restricted free agent, he migth become available if the Bucks can't manage to shed enough salary to keep him and Ramon Sessions otherwise. Though Portland is likely not his preferred destination when he can start somewhere else.
So that's it for the power forward position. Anything that especially strikes you? Other players you would like to compare to Channing or LaMarcus?

Chase Farm campaigner to stand in council eletion (From Enfield Independent)

Chase Farm campaigner Kieran McGregor to stand again in Enfield Borough Council election
Updated 12:24pm Friday 25th April 2014 in News By Charlie Peat
A campaigner for accident and emergency services will be running once more at the local elections next month.
Former Councillor Kieran McGregor is standing for election once more under the National Health Action party and says he will press for A&E and maternity services to be reopened at Chase Farm Hospital in The Ridgeway, Enfield.
The long battle to keep the key services open was ended in December, 2013 following a failed attempt by Enfield Borough Council at the high courts the month before.
Mr McGregor was elected to the council in 2006 as part of the Save Chase Farm group and will stand in the Town ward on May 22.
Mr McGregor said: "All of the major political parties in Enfield have let us down with regard to our local health services. The major political parties have reneged on previous election promises to protect Chase Farm hospital.
"Moreover, the residents of Enfield were promised that the closure of Chase Farm would be accompanied by major improvements in other health services such as Primary Care and ambulance services.
"These promises have also been forgotten. The NHS action party is committed to protecting the most vital of public services: The NHS. If elected we will continue to hold local politicians and NHS officials to account."

Moultrie- A 22 year old Moultrie man was shot twice last night shortly before a fast food restaurant was robbed.
Twenty-two year old Alvin Gamble was standing out in front of his home at 120 Fifth Street Southwest when someone shot him twice. Gamble could not identify the man and couldn't say why he shot him.
Just a half hour later, in an unrelated incident, an armed suspect robbed the Sonic on First Avenue Southeast. One employee was hit in the head with a gun. The suspect fled without taking any money.

Sun will come out for Richmond's solar schools
2:00am Friday 30th May 2014 in News By Amy Dyduch
Schools across Richmond have just one week to apply to become one of 20 solar schools in 2014/15.
The project will provide 20 teams of staff, pupils and parents with the training, support and tools they need to fund the cost of solar panels.
Solar Schools has supported 50 schools in collectively raising over £350,000 from local people and businesses and installing over 600 panels.
Richmond Council leader Lord True said: "Solar schools is an exciting new way to teach pupils about energy by involving them in a positive, practical project that uses renewable energy.
"It will give pupils new skills and confidence that can be applied to other projects in the future."

A rather optimistic headline in my opinion - especially if you are north of 40 degree latitude.

How Yoga Saved My Life
I am sometimes asked if I think yoga cured me. Yes, it did, but not in the obvious sense of giving me back my leg. I also had the best of Western medicine on my side. But even though Western medicine has made it possible to reattach a body part, the brain and spirit can't so easily reintegrate that which has been made separate. Yogi Bhajan, the man who is credited with bringing Kundalini Yoga to the West, says that yoga is the inner science of the Self. This is the science that offered me a posture for life, and created a whole person.
More than two years after my accident, the bone is now solid. I walk with a slight limp that tends to get worse when I'm tired. I indeed can't run, but I can dance, and I do ride, five days a week. And while I still can't achieve some asanas, neither can half the class. Every day, each of us just has to begin where we are.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but the 1984 Padres get some unflattering run in ESPN's "Let Them Wear Towels".
The cliff notes version is this hour long documentary is about female sportswriters from the 70's to the 90's and the challenges they faced. It's really well done and told by the sports writers themselves. The directors also did "Knuckleball" which is great too.
I don't want to spoil how the 84 Padres were a part of this story, but they are in there starting around the 40 minute mark if you DVR it. What was most surprising to me was how I missed that whole story as a 12-year-old fan following them closely. I feigned illness to watch Game 1 of the NLCS. After, I thought the baseball gods spoke to me to never do that again with the thumping they took....
Anyway, a great show if you can watch a rerun of it, even see some 1984 footage and an interview with The Garv.

Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen to Present 'Illumina'
By Amy David, Special to the Henrico Citizen 11/18/10
The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen will offer "Illumina," a holiday exhibition of various traditional and non-traditional Christmas trees each with their own theme for families to enjoy starting Dec. 4 – Dec. 30.
The exhibit will showcase 16 trees on the first floor of the center, designed by Yvonne Hopkins, a local resident who offered to give her creations to the center for the public. The trees will have different colors, ornaments, lights and other items that make up a certain theme.
"This is our first time having something like this," said Anita Waters, director of public relations and marketing for the center. "This event allows this woman to share her collection with the community, and it's something everyone can enjoy."
The exhibit will include a "Nostalgia Tree," a multi-color rotating aluminum tree from the 1960s. A combination of music, clothing, sports, politics and other memorabilia will make up the tree to represent the time periods of the 1940s through the 60s.
A breast cancer awareness tree, called "The Hope Tree" will be on display as well. Families or individuals will have the opportunity to donate to the Cancer Foundation for Breast Cancer Research and receive a pink ribbon with their name, which will be hung on the tree.
A few other themes include "The Great Outdoors," "True Colors," a "Goodwill Tree," a "Charlie Brown Tree" and "The Enchanted Tree," which displays Disney characters.
"There are a wide variety of different themes, so there's something for everybody," Waters said.
The center usually draws about 500 people each Christmas for its annual Tree Lighting ceremony outside and other events, but this year officials hope attendees will stay for the exhibit.
"The county has a lot of Christmas holiday events, and so a lot of people will have the opportunity to see these trees," said Waters.
Other traditional holiday exhibits, such as Chanukah and Kwanzaa will be on display in celebration of the event, a scavenger hunt will be held for children and families are asked to fill out a questionnaire and will be entered into a weekly prize drawing for the family with the most correct answers.
The event is free and will be held immediately following the tree lighting. The exhibition can be viewed from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The center will be closed Dec. 24 - 27.
For weekend times and additional information, call The Cultural Arts Center at 261-ARTS (2787) or visit http://www.artsglenallen.com

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico
The Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. attended the Ninth Annual Filipino Festival at Our Lady of Lourdes Church earlier this month. Cuisia (pictured above with festival performers) was welcomed by County Manager John Vithoulkas and Brookland District Supervisor Dick Glover (below) at the church, which is located in Lakeside.
While enjoying some of the cultural performances at the festival, the ambassador and his wife had a private lunch with Vithoulkas, Glover, Eldon Burton (an outreach representative from U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner's Office) and Father James Begley, the pastor of OLL. > Read more.

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical
CORRECT: Readers and Tony voters picked comic genius Andrea Martin as their favorite Featured Actress in a Musical. Martin steals every scene she's in at the Music Box Theatre, where she plays Berthe in the high-flying revival of Pippin. Martin, who won the 2013 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards — as well as the hearts of audiences as she soared on a trapeze during her first-act number "No Time At All" — took home her second Tony Award 20 years after she won in 1993 for My Favorite Year. She confessed to Playbill.com in the press room that she originally turned down the role of Berthe in Pippin. "The role was originally played as a kind of stereotypical grandmother," she said. "I wanted to play the grandmother the way I feel. So I thought why can't the grandmother look like me?"
Click here to watch Martin and her co-stars talk about being nominated for Pippin the day after they received the news.Continued...

Both of them are correct.
I voted for either because both of them can be used as preposition to mean(( at some period of time)).
i confuse between in and during but i voit during i think its the best ansowr
It depends on speaker's condition.
If the speaker worked all the summer, the answer is "during".
If the speaker worked several hours or days, we use "in".
How about this?
I worked there all summer long!
Its sound is very emphasis!
During= period of time.

Elliott's struggled after the Olympic break, and so did the Senators, to the point that there was a question whether Ottawa would make the playoffs. But Elliott was about as good as a goaltender could be last week, winning all four of his starts, including shutouts of Montreal and Philadelphia on consecutive days. He was named the NHL's First Star of the Week Monday.
For the week, Elliott allowed just four goals in four games while stopping 116 of the 120 shots he faced -- and leading the Senators into fifth place in the East and on the verge of returning to the playoffs after missing the postseason in 2008-09.
Second Star, Jimmy Howard -- The rookie netminder continues to carry the Detroit Red Wings on his back toward the playoffs. Howard won all three of his starts last week, capping it with a 1-0 shootout victory at Nashville Saturday in which he made 33 saves through 65 minutes and then stopped 10 of 11 shots in the shootout. In all, he allowed just four goals on 92 shots.
Third Star, Ilya Kovalchuk -- Kovalchuk finally had the kind of week New Jersey was waiting for when the Devils acquired him from Atlanta in early January. He had 3 goals and 5 assists for 8 points while going plus-4 in four games, including a four-point night against Columbus.
Worth Noting
Evgeni Nabokov -- Like Elliott, Nabokov appears to have recovered from his post-Olympic slump. He led San Jose to victories in each of his three starts last week, allowing just 3 goals and posting his 50th NHL shutout by blanking Dallas. Nabokov's victory Saturday against Vancouver was his 40th of the season, making him only the second goaltender (after Martin Brodeur) to reach the 40-win mark in three consecutive seasons.
Sidney Crosby -- "Sid the Kid" is back on top in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy after scoring twice (and again in the shootout) of Pittsburgh's 5-4 win over Toronto Sunday. His two-goal game came one day after he set up three of the Penguins' four goals in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia. For the week, he was 2-4-6 in four games.
Five down -- Five players who are struggling:
David Legwand -- The first player ever drafted by the Nashville Predators is having a year to forget, at least as far as scoring goals is concerned. He's gone six games without a point and 35 games and more than three months since scoring a goal.
Alex Kovalev -- Kovalev had a goal and a pair of assists in Ottawa's last game before the Olympic break. He's played 12 games since play resumed after the Games and has yet to get a single point.
Fredrik Modin -- Modin, a former 30-goal scorer, scored three times in his first four games after being acquired by Los Angeles at the trade deadline. But since then, he's gone seven games without a point -- a big reason the Kings are struggling to score.
Craig Anderson -- Anderson's performance has kept Colorado among the top eight in the West all season, but he may be showing the effects of the long season. He allowed 12 goals in three games last week and is 1-4-1 in his last six starts.
Roberto Luongo -- The gold medal-winning goaltender has had his ups and downs since play resumed after the Olympic break. He lost both of his starts last week and is 1-3-1 in his last five games.
Injuries, news and notes -- Joe Thornton's consecutive-games streak is over after 398 games. San Jose's star center sat out Sunday with a lower-body injury after leaving Saturday's game late in the second period. He's listed as day-to-day.
Out -- The Islanders continue to see defensemen drop like flies. Bruno Gervais missed Saturday's game with a groin problem after being injured Thursday -- just minutes after scoring the winning goal. He was injured one night after Dustin Kohn sustained a concussion. The Isles have used 12 defenseman this season. ... Florida forward David Booth will miss the rest of the season after sustaining his second concussion. ... Nashville forward Joel Ward missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and could be out for a week. Preds captain Jason Arnott has missed four games with a head injury. ... Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta sat out Saturday after leaving Friday's game with an upper-body injury. Center Tim Connolly sat out Saturday with a lower-body injury. ... Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin sat out Saturday and Sunday's games with a foot injury that's kept him out of the lineup for six of the Penguins' last seven games. Defenseman Sergei Gonchar has missed the last three due to illness. ... Rangers forward Ryan Callahan missed Saturday's game with a knee injury, and Sean Avery left that game after injuring his knee in the second period. ... Minnesota forward Chuck Kobasew, who missed more than two months with a knee injury before returning four weeks ago, reinjured the knee on Friday and didn't return. Defenseman Cam Barker left Thursday's game with an ankle injury and didn't play Friday, and center Mikko Koivu missed the Wild's last two games with an arm injury. ... Columbus forward Chris Clark suffered an undisclosed injury in the second period Sunday and didn't return. Another forward, Jared Boll, missed both of the Jackets' weekend games with an injured left hand and is day to day. ... Washington center Brendan Morrison sat out Sunday's game with a lower-body injury, and Brooks Laich has missed the Caps' last three games after sustaining facial injuries during a morning skate. ... Boston defenseman Andrew Ference sat out Saturday's game with a hernia that will require off-season surgery and may force him to miss some games. ... Montreal forward Glen Metropolit left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury. ... Flyers goaltender Johan Backlund left Saturday's game with a groin injury and didn't dress Sunday. ... Kings defenseman Matt Greene missed L.A.'s last two games with an upper-body injury. ... Detroit forward Dan Cleary injured his groin in Friday's game and sat out Saturday night. ... Ottawa defenseman Anton Volchenkov left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury and is day-to-day. Fellow defenseman Filip Kuba didn't play Saturday due to a lower-body injury. ... Atlanta center Todd White missed the Thrashers' last two games with an upper-body injury and could be sidelined for while.
Returning -- Dallas center Mike Modano, out since having an appendectomy two weeks ago, is scheduled to resume contact by midweek and could be back not long after that. ... San Jose center Scott Nichol returned Saturday after missing two games with an upper-body injury.
Still out -- Rick DiPietro's season is over. The New York Islanders' goaltender, who's missed most of the last two seasons with knee problems, has been unable to practice due to knee problems and won't play again this season. ... Flyers forward Jeff Carter had surgery to put a screw in his broken left foot. He might be able to return before the end of the regular season ... Chicago defenseman Kim Johnsson is still sidelined with a concussion. He's missed seven games. ... Colorado defenseman Ryan Wilson is skating by himself, but there's still no timetable for his return from a concussion. Rookie forward Brandon Yip is skating but not ready to return from a shoulder injury, and forward Stephane Yelle has missed five games with a leg injury. ... Vancouver forward Mikael Samuelsson, who went down with a shoulder injury on March 16, is skating and could be back in a week. ...
The week ahead -- It's the next-to-last week of the regular season, but the volume of hockey isn't letting up. Thirteen teams have four games this week, while 16 more play three times.
Games to watch
Buffalo at Boston (March 29) -- Versus will be on hand as the Bruins host their Northeast Division rivals in a game they desperately need to make the playoffs.
Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh (March 31) -- Once again, Versus will be in the building -- this time for a battle between two of the NHL's top guns, Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos and Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby.
Chicago at New Jersey (April 2) -- It's a rare late-season interconference meeting between two of the NHL's top teams, with the Devils looking to avenge a 5-1 loss in their lone trip to Chicago this season.
Atlanta at Pittsburgh (April 3) -- The Thrashers and Penguins both need the win, but for different reasons: Atlanta is battling for a playoff spot, while Pittsburgh is battling New Jersey for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Detroit at Philadelphia (April 4) -- NBC will at the Wachovia Center for an Easter Sunday meeting between the Wings, one of the NHL's hottest teams, and the Flyers, who are struggling to hang onto a playoff berth in the East.
Tough week ahead
Atlanta Thrashers -- The Thrashers' playoff hopes will be put to the test during a four-game week that starts with a home game against Carolina before a trip that sends them to Toronto, Washington and Pittsburgh.
Edmonton Oilers -- Not only are they last overall, but the Oilers spend the penultimate week on the road, visiting Detroit, Dallas and Phoenix.
San Jose Sharks -- After three home games in four days, the Sharks hit the road, hopscotching from Dallas to Colorado to Minnesota as they battle for the top seed in the Western Conference.
Easy week ahead
Colorado Avalanche -- Not only do the Avs get to play all three of their games at home, but two of their opponents (Anaheim and Calgary) are outside the top eight in the West.
New York Islanders -- The Isles aren't going to the playoffs, but they're a decent home team and would love nothing more than to make life miserable for their three visitors -- the Rangers, Flyers and Senators.
Pittsburgh Penguins -- The Penguins are the only team that has just two games scheduled -- and both are at home against teams outside the top eight in the East (Tampa Bay and Atlanta).

Ready for the weekend? It looks like beach goers and pool rats will be excited for the forecast.
The Bermuda high off of the western Atlantic will continue to keep conditions mostly sunny and mild, however with enough moisture in place, as the weekend rolls on - we will return to the typical summer pattern where an afternoon shower or thunderstorm pops up along the sea breeze.
Look for an afternoon high today in the upper 80s.
Temperatures will cool slightly (down to the mid 80s) for the weekend, with a bit of a better chance for showers during the early work week.

News: Soulja Boy Melts Ice-T 'Juice' Dispute, "I'm Not Thinking About Him"
Friday, May 6, 2011 5:05PM
Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em has reminded fans his focus is on the music and not Ice-T despite recently publicly airing him out over remarks made toward his upcoming Juice film remake.
Responding to an MTV tweet suggesting a beef is stirring, Soulja Boy cleared the air.
"#BeefAlert! Are @SouljaBoy and Ice-T (@FINALLEVEL) at it again?http://at.mtv.com/iNt," Soulja Boy retweeted Thursday (May 5).
"I'm spreading positive I'm not thinking about Ice-T @MTV" (Soulja Boy Tell Em's Twitter)
Earlier this week, Ice questioned Soulja Boy's decision to remake the 1992 film, Juice.
"Wait, but that's Pac," Ice-T said in an interview when informed of Soulja Boy's remake. "I mean, you know, at some point somebody gotta stop it. It's like, I don't know. I came out and made some statements like yo son, yo, I don't know. Do you, do you. It's kind of like, if the masses accept it, it just shows you the state we're in. Come on man. Do you think I would try to remake Pac's movie? ... Good luck though. I'm not a hater, good luck." (Shade 45)
Ice-T's comments caught wind of Soulja Boy who responded with multiple taunts.
"Ice-T mad cuz I pulled up in the 2012 LOL i'm sitting on a red n---a. haha young n---z taking over" Soulja tweeted last weekend. "i'm done with this n---a. someone get this guy a hairline asap. If your name is Ice-T you are #losing not #winning better yet you #lost" (Soulja Boy's Twitter)
Last week, Soulja Boy talked about battling the film remake's backlash.
"Man, I'm a Tupac fan. I respect Tupac. It's nothing like that. I would never try to disrespect Tupac--ever. It was just an idea that I had for a mixtape. The movie is just a movie... You had Game who was in Belly 2. You had a lot of different rappers that were in a lot of different movies. I think they're saying that just 'cause of who I am, it's Soulja Boy." (Rap-Up)
Check out some recent Soulja Boy Tell footage below:

Price and quality competitiveness of socialist countries'exports
AbstractIn this report the authors have analyzed pricing of the centrally planned economies (CPEs) in the highly competitive export markets of the EC countries in the first half of the 1980s. They found that the CPEs'export prices were lower than prices in both developed and developing countries. Manufactured goods from CPEs were underpriced an average 31 to 45 percent - even more on some commodities. Protection of EC countries doesn't seem to be a factor in CPE underpricing of manufactured goods. This could not be explained either by a deliberate policy of CPEs to penetrate Western markets. The CPEs inability to upgrade manufactured exports that are subject to quotas suggests serious quality constraints on exports of manufactured goods. They appear to underprice their manufactured exports not because of cost advantages that make them more competitive, but because most of their manufactured goods are inferior in quality to their competitors.
