Vector is a fast paced arcade-style platformer that puts you in the shoes of a cubicle worker who breaks free of his chains to escape onto the rooftops of an urban city. Starting with an incredibly intense cut scene, you realize that this life is a lie; You crave more than being told what to do at a tiny desk next to thousands of other people. You crack. You tear off your headset and make a break for it. This leads you to a fast paced chase across an urban landscape as you are hunted down by oppressive correctional officers. You desperately run, jump and climb your way over the terrain in an fight to avoid being caught. Each stage has bonuses to collect and tricks to perform as you somersault across the sky. You unlock stunning acrobatic tricks with the cash you earn while playing the game. As you run the myriad of obstacles, you will need to perfectly time your jumps and slides, because if you don't, you'll fall right back into the hands of society. The officers chasing you keep a fear of being caught ever present in your mind, which causes you to frantically hurdle the obstacles as fast as possible.

Fairlight CMI (Series I - III)
The Australian Fairlight Computer Music Instrument (CMI) is a vintage but state-of-the-art Synthesizer/Sampler workstation. An incredible sampler with 28 megabytes or more of memory! One or two full 73 note velocity sensitive keyboards! Complete synthesis and editing of digitally sampled sounds. Three different on-board SMPTE Sequencers and storage to various disk mediums. The processor itself is housed in a 24" module. It was also the first digital sampler to hit the market back in 1979 and has endured throughout the eighties and nineties.
From 1979 to 1985 several versions of the Fairlight were produced, with the Series III being the last of them. Each new series added updates to the Fairlight as technology developed through the early eighties. The Fairlight 1 and 2 had only 16 kByte of Memory per voice, and only eight voices but expanded to several megabytes and double the polyphony by the Fairlight III. The IIx was the first Fairlight to offer MIDI. The Series III added aftertouch capability to the keyboard. They all had pitch/mod wheels, an 82-key alphanumeric keyboard, 15 function keys, a Graphics Tablet for drawing sounds and a Video Monitor for seeing what you're doing while editing.
The sampler is the heart of the Fairlight. It's a 16-bit resolution digital sampler with variable sample-rates up to 100kHz! Original Fairlight models used two standard 8 bit 6800 processors, updated to the more powerful 16 bit 68000 chips in later versions (the IIx had updated 6809 processors, which is what designated it a IIx over a II, and raised the sampling resolution to 32kHz, from the I & II's 24kHz). In the Fairlight III, sample memory (RAM) comes in 28MB chunks per 16 voices of polyphony - wow! That's plenty of room for creating stereo or mono samples. Edit them using various hi-tech functions and at a 'microscopic' level using the large Monitor screen. Samples can be looped, mixed and re-sampled with processing for sweetening. As for synthesis, create your own waveforms by sampling and applying Fast Fourier Transform and Waveform editing functions. Storing samples and synthesized waveforms can be done to Hard Disk or 8" floppy disks.
As for sequencing, there are three sophisticated methods. There's CAPS (Composer, Arranger, Performer Sequencer), an 80-track polyphonic sequencer. The complicated MCL (Music Composition Language) is like a text-based step time sequencer. And finally the Rhythm Sequencer which functions like a classic drum-machine style sequencer. All sequencer's are SMPTE syncable.
The Fairlight is a horribly expensive Music Production Center and is rivalled only by the NED Synclavier. Although current samplers, sequencers and synths can blow away the Fairlight at a fraction of the cost - the Fairlight is an historical, prized piece of Vintage Digital Synthesizer and Sampler technology. It still holds up today, over twenty years later and is still a high quality and professional instrument. The facilities provided by it benefit hardcore synth programmers, wealthy musicians, sound designers, film composers and wealthy Vintage Synth collectors.
It has been used by Jean-Michel Jarre, Heaven 17, Hardfloor, ABC, Hall & Oates, the Buggles, Supertramp, Thomas Dolby, Jon Astley, Michael Jackson, Yes, Trevor Horn (Art of Noise), Geoff Downes, Stevie Wonder, Vince Clarke (Yazoo), Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, Devo, Julian Lennon, The Cars, Yellow, Lindsey Buckingham, Jan Hammer, Herbie Hancock, David Gilmour, Elvis Costello, Scritti Politti, Starship, Teddy Riley, Brian Wilson, Foreigner, Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Jane Child, Eurythmics, Mike Oldfield, Prince, OMD, Steve Winwood, Duran Duran, John Paul Jones, Paul Hardcastle, Kate Bush, Queen, Keith Emerson, Alan Parsons, Fleetwood Mac, B-52's, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Soul II Soul, and Stewart Copeland.

My personal favourite models are the rare Series II-L, The Series IIX and Series III, although even a Series 1 would be ok for me, as i've always wanted a Fairlight ever since i first saw one demonstrated on the television. Maybe one day my dream of owning one will come true, who knows, ey?
I got lucky enough to check out a Fairlight II once. It sounds like no other, but is little more than a toy for modern music production. I suppose you could use it to make early 80's style music if you can manage to find one.
The lightpen (Fairlight I and II, not III) is actually a pain in the *ss. I much prefer a mouse.

BOSTON (AP) - Tim Duncan scored 23 of his 25 points in the second half, powering the injury-depleted San Antonio Spurs to a 104-92 win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.
Marco Belinelli added 16 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Spurs, who were without guards Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili and forward Tiago Splitter - all sidelined with injuries.
Boris Diaw added 18 points and Duncan grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Spurs to their fifth win in seven games.
Rajon Rondo led Boston with 16 points and Kris Humphries and rookie Kelly Olynyk had 15 apiece. The Celtics fell to 4-18 against Western Conference teams.
Boston was minus guard Avery Bradley, who was sidelined with a sprained right ankle.
After the Celtics scored the first points of the fourth quarter on Humphries' jumper, San Antonio went on a 12-4 run. The Spurs went 6 of 8 to start the period, keyed by Green's 3 from the left corner that made it 79-70 with just under 10 minutes to play.
After a foul-line jumper by Humphries, Duncan had consecutive baskets, the second a jumper that pushed the Spurs' lead to 85-74 with 8:06 left.
San Antonio broke it open with a 11-0 run midway into the quarter that was capped by Belinelli's 3-pointer with 4 minutes left.
The Spurs used a 9-2 run late in the third to take a 71-66 lead heading into the fourth. Duncan, who didn't score his first points until a basket late in the first half, had 11 points in the quarter.
The Celtics went on a 12-0 run, bridging the end of the first quarter and the start of the second to pull to their first lead of the game, 26-25, on Phil Pressey's 3-pointer.
San Antonio led 48-44 at halftime.

With a long series there is a danger of becoming stale and treating readers to more of the same. I'm incredibly aware of this with The Bastard Cadre (I'm also wary of boring myself–I spend way more time with these books than anybody else). From the beginning I've planned to change the dynamics in each book.
I'm using three methods of changing the dynamics:
- Vary the point-of-view characters between books
- Set each book in a different location
- Tell stories from different points of time in the world's history
The advantage of switching perspectives, location, and time period are in giving readers a deeper experience of your world, but it also means you get to play with reader's expectations. I'm a big fan of suggesting one possible future in the stories and then throwing a spanner in the works to delay that future or in some cases make it impossible. That's not to say you shouldn't give readers what they want, you should and must, but perhaps not in the way they expect for fear of losing their interest.
I remember books I've loved that tell stories from several perspectives, when the perspective shifts after a cliffhanger at the end of a chapter I curse the writer for making me wait, but (if they're any good) by the time I've read through chapters from other character's perspectives, I'm cursing the writer for keeping me hanging on several fronts at the same time, even as I'm flicking through pages, staying up later than I should, and resisting the urge to read ahead.
So, keep changing the dynamics. Readers will curse you, but that just means they're engaged with your stories and all the more likely to keep coming back to see which thread you'll pick up next.

Choosing The Right CMS for Your Small BusinessNovember 15, 2010 by: Youzhny
The web is littered with articles comparing CMS's and highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. Though helpful at the time, these articles can quickly become outdated and may, through no fault of their authors, lead you astray. So rather than focus on particular content management systems, this article will highlight some key areas in which you as the webmaster or decision maker should concentrate.
1. Ease of Use
Many would quibble with the positioning of ease of use as the first big item to take into consideration, but if you're shopping for a CMS, odds are you're doing so in part because less computer-savvy people are going to be adding to and editing the content of the site. If these people have trouble with these basic tasks, your CMS will become more of a hindrance than a help.
1.1. Editing
It's hard to talk about ease of use without mentioning the editor, as this is the part where most users of the CMS will be spending the bulk of their time. Some CMS's use editors which allow the user to change every aspect of the appearance of each page. Though this may sound good in theory, in practice, it can cause problems.
Most sites like to maintain a standard of style throughout all pages. If users are allowed to change the basic layout and appearance of each page they edit, your site can quickly end up looking like it was thrown together overnight and not carefully created with a standard style. For sites that encourage creativity, such as community sites that allow each user to have a blog with a page layout of their choice, the ability to completely change the look of a page may be an asset, but for sites where users want to quickly write information and include bold, headlines, pictures, etc. without changing the basics, look for an editor which preserves the style and layout while allowing the user to format the content the way he or she wishes.
The other necessity of a good editor is that it easily allows for the attachment of pictures, videos and documents to a page. Not only should it handle the most common file formats, such as .avi, .flv, .jpg, .png, .pdf, .doc and more, it should allow the user to include a description with each file they upload. If the user uploads an image, it should be easy for them to include an "alt" tag. These requirements are not particularly robust, so you should have little problem finding a CMS that either includes such an editor outright or allows you to replace the existing editor with one that does meet these standards.
1.2. Back End
To the average user, the back end of a CMS can be a daunting place. They're almost expecting to have a hard time finding and modifying the setting they need, and in many cases, this turns out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. However, it need not be this way.
There are several CMS's specifically designed to minimize the clutter and confusion on the back end. If you're running a blog or a small site with minimal features, do yourself and your users a favor and select one of these basic CMS's. If you need additional functionality, such as e-commerce, be sure the CMS you pick has enough user levels so that page authors and designers will have access to only the areas they need. This will prevent them from getting lost in the wilderness of your backend and accidentally altering a vital setting.
Organization is the key to a good back end. Even if a user isn't particularly savvy, if the setting they're looking for is in a logical place compared to other settings of the CMS, there's a good chance they'll find it without much trouble. But there are some back ends out there that, while they may offer impressive customization options, will thoroughly confuse anyone not well versed in the system. Unless your system will be used almost exclusively by advanced users, you owe it to yourself and your users to choose one with a logical back end that not only groups things in a rational manner but refers to items uniformly throughout the interface. For example, if a page is referred to as such in one place but as a node somewhere else, your average user is going to wonder which is which and will probably ask you or your support personnel for help. There are several CMS's out there that adhere to this principal, so you should be able to find one that's perfect for your particular needs.
1.3. Permissions
Content management systems vary widely as to the number of roles they offer. For instance, an ideal CMS would have several roles pre-defined: administrator, module editor, (who has complete access to each module but can't edit the most sensitive settings,) page editor, (who can edit individual pages but can't customize the look and feel of the site,) designer, (who can change the template but may not be able to edit the content,) and graphic artists, (who can add pictures or video to any page but can't edit the content.) This may be overkill for what you need, or it may not offer you fine enough control. The bottom line is that you need to ensure that the CMS you end up with gives you the ability to customize several permissions, based on your particular situation. If you have a simple blog, these more complex roles may not be necessary.
2. Feature Set
Choosing a CMS based on its features is always a tricky proposition. You're trying to plan for future growth without saddling yourself with excess baggage you're never likely to use.
The first step in this process must be to make a list of your requirements. You'd be surprised how many webmasters and other decision makers fail to do this. But you should look at this as you would any other project, whether you're writing a new application or buying a new computer. In this case, the question is: What are you going to do with this CMS? Is it primarily a blog you'd like to eventually expand into a complete web presence? Are you selling products online? If not now, is this a possibility in the future? How many users are going to contribute to this CMS and at what level? You get the idea.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that every CMS out there will let you organize pages the way you see fit. In fact, some blogging platforms assume you want things sorted by date and don't allow you to change this behavior. This is fine if you're building a blog and only a blog, but if you plan to expand, you're going to want a CMS that gives you more control.
Now for some things you might not think of. Are you going to need multilingual support? If it's something you think would be nice, remember that you or someone is going to have to provide this content. Translators are notoriously inaccurate, so don't expect to simply be able to run site content through one of these to create a multilingual site.
Will you conceivably be launching another website in the future, whether it's related to your current site or not? Most CMS's offer multiple site support, and this is something you should take advantage of in most cases. This way, when you launch your next site, you're already familiar with the system, and you can bring other people up to speed quickly.
A search feature is a search feature, right? Sadly, no. There are some CMS's that rip through pages and display results quickly, while allowing you to customize their order and appearance. Then there are some that lack both functionality and speed. Remember, the search function is used by many people as soon as they come to your site. You don't want them skulking away in disgust because your search engine made it too difficult for them to find what they wanted. In short, when it comes to your search engine, you're looking for thoroughness, speed, limiting ability and customization. If it can search through uploaded files as well, so much the better.
3. Customization
There are CMS's out there that allow you to customize every last aspect of how they create and display pages, and there are those that keep all of this hidden from even the savviest programmers. Which one you go with depends largely on you or the person who will be charged with maintaining it.
Some systems put out sloppy code and don't offer you a way to change that. This can not only damage your search engine ranking, but it can cause your site to be inaccessible to those using alternative technologies in order to access it. Clean code is one of the keys to a solid CMS. If the CMS you like in every other way doesn't serve pages in a manner you like, that's ok, as long as it allows you to get in there and change this behavior. Some systems offer plugins to do this, many of which are designed to better optimize your pages for search engines. These work well, and accessibility aids will also benefit from this optimization. There are several more customization options you should look for when choosing a CMS, and many have to do with search engine optimization.
4. Search Engine Optimization
Speaking of SEO, this is another key aspect to investigate when choosing a CMS. SEO goes beyond putting out standard code; it also includes several aspects of page layout to which a CMS may not conform:
• Keyword-based URLs: /> Probably the most important SEO tweak your CMS will need is the functionality to create URLs based on the title of a page. Even better, some CMS's allow you to create a custom URL for each page on your system, which you can load with appropriate keywords.
• Page Title: /> Make sure your CMS allows you to input descriptive page titles and also lets you customize the titles of pages for each section of the site. For instance, you might want your blog to have titles like: " ", while your e-commerce SECTION has pages entitled: "<YOURSITE> <Product-name>".

• Customized Meta Tags:  Your CMS should at least allow you to customize the meta description and robots tags of each page to ensure the description includes helpful keywords and that pages that shouldn't be indexed are not.

• Other Custom Tags: There are many situations when you don't want a crawler to follow a particular link, in which case you'd use a "nofollow" tag to indicate as such. Some CMS's don't allow for this level of customization. You also want to ensure that your CMS uses heading tags to denote headlines in page content, as these are particularly helpful when search engines index a site.

• Customized Site Structure: Ideally, a CMS will let you group the site into whatever categories best suit your content. This will allow crawlers to navigate your site in the most logical way possible and translate into higher search engine rankings.

• Redirection Capabilities: Sometimes, you'll have pages that become outdated or are moved to a more logical location inside your CMS. When this happens, your CMS should automatically redirect from the old page to the new. Surprisingly, some CMS's lack this feature.

Optimizing a CMS for search engines can be a full-time job, but if your CMS supports these basic features, your site will be at least fairly well optimized for ranking on the major search engines.

In The End

After all this, you're probably a bit overwhelmed with the sheer variety of choices available to you when choosing a CMS. If you make that list of requirements, the process becomes a bit more manageable. Also, whenever you get the opportunity, try out your desired functionality on other sites. Put search engines through their paces. If you have editing permissions on some sites, give their editors a thorough going over to see if they offer all the functionality you need. Lastly, if you have the time and resources, install one or several on a test machine and see what happens. If you'll be managing a small to medium-size site, you don't need to pay for your CMS, so feel free to try each one that makes the grade as far as your requirements are concerned. More often than not, you'll run across one that simply feels right to you; it's easy to use, flexible but not convoluted, has a great editor and is easy to optimize for search engines. Choosing a CMS is a critical decision for the future of your website, so take the time to give it all due consideration.

OK, so these are not really pants – It's a jumpsuit, but I will never wear it as that. This is the only piece I purchased from the Missoni for Target collaboration, and it was by chance.
All along, I only wanted a pair of pants, or maxi dress/skirt. I went to the store like everyone else. No luck. The leftovers were.. well, leftovers.
The Target website crashed, but I never gave up. I actually waited a couple of days again before trying my luck. I came across this jumpsuit (in a large), and all I could think of was altering the size and changing them to pants.
There you have it. I'm quite pleased – And you can't beat the pockets on each side.
Paired it with a gifted American Apparel Silky Loose Crop Tee. Wore the khaki one here with AA mid length circle skirt.
Did you all score any items from Missoni for Target? Enjoy.. xx
PS – Guess who is on tumblr now? Yup, StylePantry.tumblr.com – Really enjoying figuring it out so far. Come join me *smiles*.

In the middle of nowhere, thank goodness for GPS. Arriving during daylight hours would have been a plus. Continental breakfast would have been nice even if it were just a donut.Great place to stay if you golf, ski, or just want to get away from the city.

The views from the public spaces are fantastic.
We booked a one-bedroom condo...what we got was a run-of-the-mill motel room with no additional living space or kitchen. Additionally, the room had an unpleasant urine odor and the interior was at least 20 years old.There's now way this is a 3 star hotel - our room was certainly a 1 star but there might be others that aspire to 2. I would only ever stay here for a golf vacation at this resort. It certainly isn't worth it for any other purpose. Do not bring your family to A Ga Ming!

Did not know this is not really a hotel, but a group of privately owned condos/rooms with management services. Very steep stairs to our second floor unit. Nice view, nice bathroom, but not updated decor and not a newer mattress - the old spring type of mattress where the sheets come untucked the minute you get in. No ice cube trays in tiny fridge. Had to drive to the golf clubhouse where they filled a plastic bag with ice for us. Clubhouse is where you can go to the window and order breakfast. No phone in our room, and no maid service. Someone brought a fresh set of small, thin towels and did not make the bed or empty the trash. The golf course we played was okay, but 'resort' does not describe this out in the middle of nowhere golfing club.

I loved the location of Bayshore! It was a little less than a mile walk (15 minutes) to get right downtown where all the shops are!The room we paid for was the standard non-beach front room. We were on the beach level (beach access on our floor) and on the other side of the hotel form the beach, which essentially put us almost underground. I didn't like the feeling of hardly having sunlight in our room. We were there for 2 nights and did not take advantage of the cleaning services...but they were very friendly and gave us some extra towels to use! Overall the hotel met our needs.
Location was excellent.
I was charged too much upon check in. Good thing I looked at my receipt before I left to catch the mistake. The continental breakfast was poorly staffed and the person that worked there was very rude.

The hotel, room, and grounds were immaculate. The staff was patient and courteous. My partner and I felt that we had chosen the best place to stay in Traverse City.
While the hotel and lake view was wonderful, I was misled by website pictures and descriptions to believe that the hotel was directly on the lake, and that there was gaming inside the resort.The hotel is maybe a mile NE of downtown Traverse City; close enough to drive to the downtown bars and restaurants and far enough to be outside of the local rush hour traffic. The paged shuttle to and from the casino showed in less than ten minutes in each direction. The staff helped us with the city layout and local events; we had no trouble finding activities that fit our interests.

We stayed in a handicap room which was nice.

Decatur IL – A Decatur park could be part of a land swap by a local bank and the Decatur Park District.
Park Commissioners will meet Tuesday night to talk about Spencer Park. The plan is to exchange the park property with Busey Trust Company for nearly 20 acres near Interstate 72 on Decatur's far north side.
ADM wants to re-zone Spencer Park to make the area more industrial. It is unclear what exactly Busey Trust will do with Spencer Park if the land Swap is approved.
The Park District board meets Tuesday night at 6pm.

The recipe is a little time consuming and messy to work with, but the results were well worth the effort. My hubby gives them an A+
My mom made these every year. I like this version better than hers. She would stuff the date with a walnut and dip in the dough and bake. I like the filling idea better. These are a wonderful variation of comfort cookies from my childhood. They will have a place in my Christmas cookie baskets this year. Thank you for sharing!
I was so glad to be able to find this recipe. I have had this cookie every year since I was a small child. My grandmother has made them every year. Since she is 91 this year, she won't be making cookies. I had the recipe in an old cookbook, but we had house fire last month and I haven't been able to lay my hands on the recipe. This will make my family so happy to be able to have these cookies this year despite the turmoil that the fire has caused in our lives. They are time consuming, but so worth the effort.
I very enjoyable filled cookie. I will definately make theese again. They are a bit time consuming but it's worth it. Plenty of filling and great taste.
Very good, just like my memory of the ones I made years ago. I lowered the oven temprature to 375. I had received fresh Arizona dates, can make more after Christmas.

I think this would actually be 2 trades to make all the details work...but for simplicity you can see this as a single 4 team trade here - http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=38hufgm
This would be your new NY Knick's depth chart by position (with 3 new players in bold):
PG – CP3 / Ish Smith / DWTDD / Rautins
SG – Landryman / DWTDD / Walker / Mason
SF – Melo / Gallo / Landryman / Extra E
PF – Gallo / Amar'e / Melo
C – Amar'e / Turiaf
+3 – Roster openings for signing Vet minimum contracts
Take the jump to see how we get there...and why this might be a realistic scenario, and not just a Knicks pipe dream.
- Chris Paul (PG) - Ray "Smooth as" Felton (PG)
- Carmelo Anthony (SF) - Wilson Chandler (SF)
- Ishmael Smith (PG) - Anthony Randolph (PF)
- Kelenna Azubuike (G-F)
- Timofey Mozgov (C)
- Eddy Curry (C)
- 2 x 2011 2nd rd. picks
- 2014 1st rd. pick
- Raymond Felton (PG) - Chris Paul (PG)
- Wilson Chandler (SF) - 2011 2nd rd. Pick
- Kelenna Azubuike (G-F)
- $3M (fr. NY)
- Timofey Mozgov (C) - 2011 1st rd. Pick (top 5 protected)
- Anthony Randolph (PF) - Jordan Hill (or Terrence Williams) (F)
- Al Harrington (F-C) - Jared Jeffries (F)
- 2011 2nd rd. Pick (fr. NY) - Ishmael Smith (PG)
- 2011 1st rd. Pick (fr. Houston) - Melo (F)
- 2 x 2011 2nd rd. picks (fr. NY&NO) - Al Harrington (F-C)
- 2014 1st rd. Pick (fr. NY)
- $3M (fr. NY)
- Jordan Hill (PF) or Terrence Williams (SF)
- Jarred Jeffries (F)
- Eddie Curry (C)
1st – If you have to ask…
2nd – In addition to the obvious, they get a true backup PG (and fellow demon deacon) to grab 10-12 min a game and keep CP3 fresh and healthy
3rd – While they're outta cap space, could use another sharpshooter/defender, and really need help with size, rebounding and defense at Center+PF, they'll have a biennial exception ($2M) and will be very attractive to savvy, older vet's (e.g. Tony Battie) who will take a vet minimum contract to contend for a championship.
This trade shows no disrespect to Ray "Smooth as" Felton, or Chill Will Chandler. Both have proven themselves to be top young talents and borderline all-stars…but when you have a chance to acquire superstars, you have to be willing to give up very good players as part of the deal. While the Knicks current squad is young, talented and improving, it's clear that some of the younger guys will take time to develop and it's tough to imagine STAT and Ray-Ray continuing to play this hard without suffering some negative consequences.
The Knicks won't get desperate/stupid to make this trade, because their Plan B - adding a strong interior presence to pair with Amare (e.g. Marc. Gasol), and a solid backup PG could also develop into a championship caliber squad if the young guns improve faster than the stars wear down…but that's a big IF.
1st – Because the writing's on the wall - They've seen Cleveland, Toronto, and Phoenix lose big by holding onto stars they couldn't resign. With Melo holding strong on controlling his own destiny, they're seeing the same script playing out in Denver. They hate to see CP3 go (who wouldn't), but know the longer they wait the less they'll get in return for their Superstar.
2nd – They may actually be a better team after this trade than before it. Hollinger predicts the Hornets would be 3 games better after this trade, which shouldn't be a big surprise since they're getting very good, young players at positions they need help in.
3rd – Money – Between the cash they'll receive, the insurance payments on Azubuike's contract and savings on paying Chandler and Felton vs. CP3, The Hornets stand to make about $6M this season on this deal. Real money, for a team that needs it.
4th Control – All 3 player contracts are reasonable and give good team control:
· Felton – three yr. contract with 3rd year being a team option
· Wil Chan – Restricted Free Agent, so the Hornets can't lose him unless they refuse to pay market value.
· Azubuike – Team option for next year is reasonable if he returns to his pre-injury form, or declinable if he doesn't
1st - Because they get what they desperately need – Size, youth, athleticism and experience at the C and PF positions. Yao Ming may not be forgotten, but he's absolutely gone. Houston just lost their current starting Center, Chuck Hayes, to a high ankle sprain. Chuck avg's slightly less than 6pts and 6 reb's a game…about what you'd expect from a 6'6" Center.
· Mozgov is a raw talent, but his work ethic, coordination and athleticism in a 7'2" 270lb body could be a powerful force once his fundamentals – hands and footwork – catch up to his physical talent. Yao and Brad Miller will both be good mentor's for Mozzy, and Houston has experience helping fish out of water foreign players acclimate to their new home.
· Randolph is a similar story, with awesome physical talent (that he flashed with Golden State while setting records in summer league) and a solid work ethic (he's put in 50 lbs of muscle since leaving LSU as a 175lb bean pole), but he's only 21 and has never really had a stable team or coach or develop him into a strong role player. Physically he could be the next Marcus Camby…mentally he needs some good, patient coaching. Going to a team that's physically and culturally closer to his roots and family in Texas and Louisiana could be a very good landing spot for him.
· Al Harrington is a solid, veteran stretch 4-5 that can help spread the floor with good 3point shooting range and will give them good flexibility to mix things up in the front court depending on matchups they're facing.
2nd – They take on manageable contracts with significant upside while getting rid of Jeffries, who's expensive and no longer considered to have a future in Houston.
3rd – Their don't give up anything that puts a real dent in their team
Because they're down to plan C, and this is the best they'll get. If Melo won't sign with Denver or Jersey, they'll be hard pressed to get a better rebuilding package than:
· 4 Draft picks - 2 1st's + 2 2nd's, w/ 1 a likely lottery pick
· A young, recent lottery pick with potential in Jordan Hill or Terrence Williams
· Tremendous Flexibility and Cap Control
Yes this is a bit of an "oh shit" trade for them, but it's a heck of a lot better than what Cleveland, Toronto, or Phoenix got when they kept their stars past the trade deadline.
Unloading Harrington and Melo, means, they'll have less than $10M in committed salaries for 2011 if Nene opt's out of his contract. This may not put a smile on the faces of Nuggets fans, but for the team owner that actually OK's the trade it's not all bad. This year the Nuggets are paying $83M in salaries for a 7th place team that may not even make the playoffs. Starting next year they can rebuild quickly, thoroughly, and stay profitable by avoiding the long, bloated contracts that doom so many teams. It's not ideal, but it's a whole lot better than Cleveland or Detroit from an owner's viewpoint.
Many different ways to spin the details and teams involved in these trades, but I truly believe that if Chris Paul and Carmelo both really want to play together in NY that they have enough leverage, and NY has enough assets, to make it happen. So there's my take on how Donnie and the Knicks will engineer the fastest turn-around in NBA history...and why it's not impossible for the Knicks to contend for a ring this year.
Whether you think this is crazy or prophetic, it's always good to hear from the community on why this trade does or doesn't make sense for any of the teams or players involved, so thanks for taking the time to read and respond!

Chef Ben Baker, from Travaasa, popped into the Good Day kitchen to whip us up some homemade bread.
Recipe: Chef Ben Baker's bread
Tip: It is best to keep a cast iron pan in the oven while baking. This help retain an even heating, and allows the creation of steam. Pour about a cup of water into the pan, once the loaves are in.

The Senate Commerce Committee voted down party lines Thursday, denying Mary Sheila Gall's bid to become chairman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Despite the committee's decision, an effort was made to bring the nomination to a full vote in the Senate, but that, too, was blocked.
Gall, a graduate of Old Dominion University's master of science in special education program, was President George W. Bush's pick to head the three-member commission.
A commission member since 1991, Gall came under fire from Democrats for her views opposing tougher standards for the makers of bunk beds, baby bath seats and baby walkers and her support of relaxing standards for fire-resistant fabrics.

Business hinges on freelancers, but staffing model slows growth for Wow1Day Painters
Vital Stats
Brian Scudamore
301-887 Great Northern Way. Vancouver, B.C. V5T 4T5
Painting services
Single-day business and home painting
Sister company to 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, the world's largest junk removal business.
For 1-888-WOW-1DAY! Painting, the name says it all.
The Vancouver-based business, founded two years ago by Brian Scudamore (the brains behind junk collection franchise 1-800-GOT-JUNK?) and veteran painter/entrepreneur Jim Bodden, follows a unique model — using freelancers and subcontractors to complete normally week-long paint projects, in a single working day.
But ensuring enough staff are on hand without the lure of traditional employment benefits – steady pay, consistent hours, etcetera – is a constant struggle, and finding talented freelancers that show up on time (often on short notice) and don't mind varying salaries presents a significant challenge. This is slowing the business' potential expansion, and with little brand recognition to speak of — and a business model that's very easy to copy — expansion will be key to getting a jump on imitators.
Still, the company's growth defies its staffing issues. In two years, Wow1Day has expanded from a single Vancouver operation to include 15 franchises across Canada, and now has 60 regular staff, not counting freelancers. The company employs a plethora of painters, from industry veterans to cash-strapped students, and even subcontracts work to established paint crews when demand requires.
Jobs vary in size, from small living rooms and bedrooms to entire houses and condos, and anywhere from one to 16 painters are used to complete projects. Contracts range in value from $800 to $4,000, and completing them on time depends entirely on a franchise's ability to coordinate painters and allocate manpower effectively.
Bodden says cynics claim the Wow1Day model is unrealistic, but adds that its reputation is built on surpassing what clients think is possible.
"Any painter who's been out there working for a while does jobs in one day," says Bodden. "Why can't you paint 10 rooms with 10 painters in one day — it's the same thing."
It also keeps the job site cleaner, as crews are in and out without leaving paintbrushes, tarps and other supplies that can clutter a client's space for days at a time.
As a result, demand is high — including at its newest franchise in Toronto, run by owner Simon Hermant and general manager Pat Findlay.
"The business model lends itself to having to hire the highest quality painters because (it) doesn't work if we have to go back and touch things up," says Hermant.
Almost every job uses freelancers, and some require a significant amount of outside help.
"Last week we had a $4,000 contract and had nine guys come in," he says.
The franchise averages five projects a week, and Findlay and Hermant hope to eventually run two to three jobs a day. But they face the same staffing problem as the rest of the company, and t simply takes a long time to build up a reliable group of freelancers.
In many cases the team only gets two to three days notice before a job, regardless of its size and complexity. Large chunks of the roster are frequently unavailable because, without a guarantee of employment, painters have no reason to turn down other contracts when offered.
"A lot of these guys do have their own work," says Findlay. "They're not willing to drop the hat to come the next day."
When it's the 11th hour and regular freelancers aren't available, the company has to hire referrals from clients and other painters. So far this hasn't caused a problem, but with a brand still in its infancy, one sub-par job or delay caused by an absent painter could put the company's image on shaky ground.
And with a job market full of people just looking to make a buck, says Ronald Burke, professor emeritus of organizational studies at York University's Schulich School of Business, it's only a matter of time before a bad seed makes its way onto Wow1Day's roster.
Still, he says the company's business model does have advantages.
"Staffing (is) inexpensive and quick, and it obviously provides stability in a sense that if you're busy, hire people, and if you're not, don't," he says.
Each Wow1Day requires two permanent employees to form its backbone – a foreman and a skilled painter. Foremen are typically paid $28/hour and skilled painters between $20 and $24/hour, a rate typical in the industry. Freelancers and contractors are added as needed. Their pay is contingent on skill level, so workers aren't being lured in by salary.
But, Bodden says, being an established brand following a well-known workflow — and payment structure — does give the company an edge.
And finding potential staff isn't a problem — today's shaky job market means there are lots of applicants. The problem is ensuring workers are of a high calibre and that they'll stick around long enough to help grow the little-known company's reputation.
Burke, for his part, says Wow1Day needs to work on growing that brand fast, because a staffing model can't be patented, and franchise businesses are very easy to copy.
Hermant knows this is important, but says he still prefers a sure-footed approach.
"We don't want to be running before we walk," he says, "and we can't do three jobs a day until we have a bigger roster of really high quality painters."

Lisa Davis was selected as one of two elementary school teachers from around the state to receive the 2008 Texas Excellence Award for Outstanding Teachers by The University of Texas at Austin's alumni association, the Texas Exes. Lisa Davis, who coaches literacy for kindergarten through fifth grade at Iles Elementary School in the Lubbock ISD, was nominated by Kyle Wargo, Education Service Center (Region 17) Executive Director. She was in competition with over a hundred other state teachers for the award. "Ms. Davis's knowledge and skills have helped to facilitate a more in depth and sustained higher level of literacy competency for our Iles students and staff," said Dr. Brian Yearwood, principal of Iles Elementary School.
The Texas Exes Award for Outstanding Teachers is bestowed annually upon ten high school teachers and two elementary teachers who are inspiring, supportive of their students and who bring credit to the teaching profession. The recipients of this award are held in the highest regard by their current and former students, fellow teachers, administrators, students' parents, and community. "The Texas Exes believe in the importance of classroom teaching. Through these awards, we encourage great teaching by celebrating the achievements of the state's top teachers," said Jim Boon, Executive Director of the Texas Exes. The Texas Exes, in collaboration with the university's College of Education, have administered the awards since 1987, honoring 239 teachers through the years.
The awards are chosen by a committee of alumni volunteers, former recipients, and College of Education faculty. Each honoree receives $2,250, a specially commissioned bronze sculpture, plus many other honors and recognitions, and is brought to the two-day Conference on Texas Excellence in Education on Feb. 21-22 free-of-charge. Lisa Davis, along with the other recipients, will be honored during the February 22 awards dinner hosted by UT President Bill Powers at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center on The University of Texas campus.
The Texas Exes, the alumni association for The University of Texas at Austin, is one of the strongest alumni associations in the country, supporting education through scholarships, teaching awards, public policy initiatives, and conferences. The Texas Exes connects over 70,000 members to each other and to the past, present, and future of the university through career counseling, travel, reunions, continuing education, fellowship, and The Alcalde magazine.

Last week we checked in on our old friend Brandon Carr, who is now with the Dallas Cowboys. This morning let's take some time to check in on our old friend Tyler Thigpen (a/k/a Thigbone a/k/a Gettin' Thiggy with it a/k/a The one semi-exciting player during that miserable 2008 season), who is now with the Buffalo Bills.
Tim Graham of the Buffalo News writes via Twitter that Thigbone has some work to do.
Vince Young looks like clear-cut favorite to be Bills No. 2. Check BuffaloNews.com later for video with @gggaughan, @JaySkurski and me.— Tim Graham (@ByTimGraham) June 20, 2012
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the clear starter in Buffalo so pencil him at the No. 1. Brad Smith, the former Mizzou star, is slotted as the third quarterback because he can perform a number of roles. That means the No. 2 spot in Buffalo will be VY vs. Thigbone.
If Chan Gailey needs any help making this decision....just remember, only one of these quarterbacks can catch 37-yard touchdown passes.

Action & Adventure, Drama, and Television TV show< read all 4 reviews
I've always enjoyed books about ancient Rome and of course, movies as well. I watched this the first time and was hooked. It shows how hard the life of slaves were in ancient Rome and how cruel they could be. As you get to know the Gladiators, you learn about them, their background and the lives they were leading before becoming slaves. The show lets you get to know the character and to feel for them, well most of them! If you don't like a lot of blood, this is not for you but if you truly curious about Rome and Gladiators, you will like it. I feel it shows how little regard the Romans had for the life of their slaves, treating them at times as if they were invisible or put on this earth for their enjoyment alone. There is a lot of action and how they put this all together is amazing, the fights are so real and by the end of season one, you will be hooked and waiting for the next season to come but not very patiently! The second season will be delayed due to illness by the actor, Andy Whitfield, who plays Spartacus, I hope he recovers soon as I can hardly wait for season two.
