Ray Allen and Shane Battier sparked a fourth quarter surge for Miami as the two veterans helped the Heat erase a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter by combining for 24 points to knock off the Atlanta Hawks 103-90 Wednesday night.
The Heat outscored the Hawks 40-17 in the final quarter as Allen and Battier combined to hit five three-pointers. The 40 mark was the most fourth quarter points since LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined the team, as the victory extended Miami's winning-streak to a season-best eight straight games.
James led the charge with a team-high 24 points on 53 percent overall (8-of-15), to go along with 11 assists, six rebounds and four steals in 40 minutes of action. He had eight assists in the fourth quarter alone but came up short of extending his franchise-record of seven straight games with at least 30 points.
Dwyane Wade struggled from the field (8-of-18) and free-throw line (4-of-8), but finished with 20 points. Battier took all of his shots from behind the arc and went 5-of-8 for 17 points with a pair of free-throws. Allen scored 13 of his 15 total points in the fourth and point guard Mario Chalmers rounded out the bunch scoring 14. Bosh had a pedestrian six points and six boards.
In the midst of lingering trade discussions, prime target Josh Smith did not have an impressive game against Miami but did find somehow to impressively fill the stat sheet, narrowly missing a triple-double performance with 10 points, nine rebounds and a season-high nine assists.
Smith has been the most talked about player regarding Thursday's 3:00 p.m. trade deadline and could have possibly played in his final game of his nine-year Hawks career Wednesday night.
Teammate Al Horford did have an impressive outing, as he went for 27 points on 80 percent shooting and nine boards. Kyle Korver hit four-of-five 3-pointers and pulled down seven rebounds to go with three assists and two steals. Ivan Johnson (10 )also scored in double-figures.
The Heat and Hawks were neck-and-neck for much of the game as Atlanta overcame a seven-point first quarter deficit and was leading 49-45 at halftime. Miami trailed the entire third period and went into the fourth down 73-63.
Then the Heat erupted.
Miami scored the first 13 points of the quarter and went on to dominate the fourth as they outscored Atlanta 40-17 to cruise to a 103-90 victory, extending their winning streak to eight straight.
The Heat (37-14) head to Chicago to play the Bulls (31-22) on Thursday at 8:00 PM (EST).
The Hawks (29-23) host the Sacramento Kings (19-36) on Friday at 7:30 PM (EST).

p William le Baron d Norman Z. McLeod w Jack Cunningham story W.C.Fields,
J. P. McEvoy ph Henry Sharp art Hans Dreier, John B.Goodman
W.C. Fields (Harold Bissonette), Kathleen Howard (Amelia Bissonette), Jean Rouverol (Mildred Bissonette), Julian Madison (John Durston), Tommy Bupp (Norman Bissonette), Baby le Roy (Baby Ellwood Dunk), Charles Sellon (Mr Muckle), Tammany Young (Everett Hicks), Morgan Wallace (Jasper Fitchmueller), Josephine Whittell (Mrs Dunk), T.Roy Barnes (salesman)
There is a deep, almost personal connection I have with the work of W. C. Fields. Unlike the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, The Stooges, yeah, even my beloved Chaplin, Fields holds a special place in my heart. To me, he's more connective, speaks to me directly, and comes off as a real person.
My father, the greatest guy I ever knew (and know), is the toughest man I ever met. Standing up at a height of 6-feet 5-inches and built like a stone statue of a Greek god, he is the very essence, even at his current age (70), of what the ideal male form is. In his working life, he pounded steel with a hammer and blow-torch, carried and fused miles and miles of electric cables up hundreds of flights, over-hauled cars and created and monitored a thriving restaurant through years of sweat and determination. My father was a rock. He worked long hours, never missed a days work and, through thick and thin, ALWAYS provided for his family. He was a dreamer as well. After years of physical labor he saw his dreams of owning his own business (the aforementioned restaurant) come to fruition and he struggled every day that he oversaw his business to make it the rousing success it is still remembered as. Even when he retired he dreamt. Florida was always on his mind. An avid golfer and a lover of athletics, my father dreamt of a simple place in the sunshine state, overlooking green grass and bodies of moving water, that he could nestle into and live out the rest of his days in fresh air and peace.
However, with every dream he had, whether a business venture or a focus on his ideal retirement, he always encountered an obstacle.
Enter my fathers wife or, as we refer to her, "Big Shirl".
My mother (now 71 years old) is a 5-foot 7-inch tall, 125 pound whirl-wind of shrill, screaming, emotionally high-strung nerves that rushes into a room like a hurricane. If you got up from your bed to use the bathroom at any given time of the day you could usually count on the bed being made by the time you got back. Always cleaning, wiping, vacuuming or polishing something, there was order in HER house and she made NO apologies if she commanded you out of it in order to maintain that plowed-field-groove in the fibers of her beloved carpeting after running her "electric-broom" over it. She was, and still is, loud, confrontational, accusing and, worst of all, the stone that fell on our heads every time we had a dream or an idea of something better in the future. My mother is dug into her environment, loves organization and order (one of her most frightening attributes that I have, unfortunately, inherited) and will only consider something reaching past her comfortable norm if SHE's the one that thought it up.
To my mother, my father is just a bumbling and puttering "pain-in-the-ass" who can never "just sit still". To her, my fathers dreams of betterment meant, and mean, the disruption of organization and order in both HER home and HER life.
Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE my mother dearly. However, in all the years I lived in that house with the two of them (on and off for the first 14 years of my life as I was ping-ponging back-and-forth to my grandparents place while my parents also balanced jobs and my father built his restaurant business, permanently afterwards), I don't ever recall my father having a conversation with my mother that didn't end with the words: "That man needs serious help" or "I think he's on drugs". To my mother, anything outside of HER status-quota meant upheaval and trouble and it wasn't until my father presented my mother with the current home they live in (completely renovated, fully and newly furnished, and without so much as asking her to lift a finger to help in its preparation) that she finally conceded in stating that his years of hard work and dreaming FINALLY saw a pay-off worthy of her praise.
Now, what does all of this have to do with my love for the films of W. C. Fields?
Well, think about it.
In just about EVERY Fields film, the comic writer and performer is a man just like my father. Only ever wanting to be left alone to do his dreaming (although taking comfort in an open bottle was not in my father's regimen as it is with Fields), he's a guy who goes to work every day, makes what he thinks is the best for every situation and always looks to the future for a better and more comfortable way to live out the rest of his life. Like my parents, Fields is usually besieged by an insurmountable obstacle and that obstacle is usually his wife.
IT'S A GIFT (1934) is, arguably, Fields tour-de-force. At 71 minutes of running time, it's the comic genius' shot at the stadium seats. Tight, with never a frame wasted, it's Fields opus on failure and misunderstanding, coincidence and arms thrown in the air as forced up by defeat. It's a mirror image of many a marriage where the husband bows his head to the consternation of the better thinking "other half".
Harold Bissonette, as played by Fields, is a simple general/grocery store owner trying as hard as he can to etch out a meager existence without having people break his balls. Sleepy, almost catatonic, he's a man who's consistently berated and chewed up by his wife, kids and neighbors. Because of his simple nature, he is the target of strong willed personalities. Muttering under his breath, he has answers for most of the questions but is seen as such a bumbling idiot that he nary gets a chance to speak up and make his position on matters known. At the grocery store, he's often yelled at by impatient customers wanting what he doesn't have (Kumguats, a tropical fruit, being the most desired item) and too intimidated by to tell his patrons he's short of. In one of the funniest moments of the film, Bissonette tries his earnest to gently wrangle Mr. Muckle (an hysterical Charles Sellon), a deaf AND blind man, to a chair in order to keep the agitated cripple from destroying a display of lightbulbs as he wraps a stick of chewing gum. As one of the first funny bits of the movie, Fields effortlessly and simply defines the good intentions of the character while all the time expressing exasperation and floating the question of why he's even involved in a business he's so ill prepared to monitor. A baby (Baby Leroy) upends a barrel of molasses and effectively destroys the floors of the store. His clerk runs him down with the delivery bicycle and, by the end of the sequence, sees just about every window of the place broken or smashed. Yet, through it all, Fields maintains an aire of complete amazement as he fathoms how any of this could even happen in the first place because he's such a good natured soul.
Back at home, Bissonette is ripped to shreds by everyone endowed with a tongue. His son (a perfectly precocious Tommy Bupp), is often seen laughing at him during a tongue lashing from his mother and regularly leaves the errant roller-skate in just the right place to see his father trip over and somersault into the dining room from (that gag is so off-the-wall perfect that I find myself laughing uncontrollably every time I see it, and I've seen this film over 50 times). His daughter (the romantically angst-ridden Jean Rouverol) has no problems with leveling her father every time he mentions the idea of moving her to another state away from her beloved boyfriend (the always smiling Julian Madison) and has a penchant for surprising her father in the bathroom as he navigates his throat with a straight-razor ("keep it up if you want me to slit my throat!"). The neighbor lady, Mrs. Dunk (the annoyingly monotone Josephine Whittell), can't seem to keep her voice down as he sleeps and regularly accuses the poor man of corrupting her son (the aforementioned Leroy, who practically impales Fields with a misplaced ice-pick). Hell, even the dog gives him no respect (the moment Fields tries to wave away the animal with a feather pillow, only to have the contents everywhere, has one of the comics best reactive lines when his wife comments that the feathers were her mothers: "I never knew your mother was a goose"). The poor guy just cannot seem to get a break, even at home.
However, like my father, if there were a poison in Harold Bissonette's life, the deflator of all his dreams and hopes for the future, then it's most definitely his wife Amelia.
The Marx Brothers had the irrepressible Margaret Dumont to act as their foil in classics like DUCK SOUP and the immortal NIGHT AT THE OPERA, and so Fields has the trumpeting Kathleen Howard. Like my mother, Howard can clear a room with the octaves of her voice. Always making herself out to be the victim of her husbands machinations, Howard perfectly exudes put-upon exasperation in everything that doesn't fit into her ideals for life. She's a woman who wants what she believes is her due (namely, a better house, nice clothes, a maid and a butler) and always bemoans the lost chances that were thwarted by her matrimony to Harold. She pinpoints certain damning words by elevating the tones in her speech and passages like "I don't have a decent STITCH of clothing to wear" and "I WORK, WORK, WORK, my fingers to the BONE for you" and it seems her lot in life is a never ending barrage of corrals to reign in two kids, a dog and a house, let alone a husband who is half in the bag by the time he returns home for supper every evening. Without Howard, Fields moments of comic exuberance would fall flat and without a board to sound off of. She is the yang to his yin and her very presence is enough to rumble a room whenever she steps into the frame.
But, the plot thickens when a large sum of money left to Harold from a deceased uncle plops into his lap. Initially, Amelia wants to use the cash to upgrade the house and buy the things she feels the family is desperately in need of (clothing, kitchen appliances), let alone sock some away for a rainy day. Yet, Harold has other plans. Forever, Mr. Bissonette has been dreaming of that final place to nestle into and spend the rest of his days (just like my fathers dreams of Florida) in comfort and away from the horrors of everyday life. The picture on a calendar reminds him. The orange groves of sunny California call to him in the deep recesses of his mind and it's there, all the way across the country, that the lowly grocer hopes to find his salvation. Upon telling Amelia of his desires, he is chastised and likened to a fool. After all, what does Harold now about running an orange plantation? However, set on targeting the west coast, Harold secretly buys a plantation anyway ("one's as good as any other, I guess"), sells the house in Wappinger Falls, New Jersey, and packs up the family and their belongings for what has to be the journey of horror that inspired NATIONAL LAMPOONS VACATION ("c'mon, it'll be great. Half the fun is getting there!").
What I love about Fields films is the way he always breaks the narrative up into three parts. The first part sets the tone and informs the viewer of the characters personalities and predicament. The third and final passage wraps up the story with a coincidental twist that sees Field's character end up in the green by happy accident. The middle section, however, is the key, the centerpiece of Fields enormous dining table and as with all his other films, IT'S A GIFT's mid-section sees the comic pull out every bizarre stop to leave the audience aching from laughter. Like every journey, it's what happens on the road that humbles a man, allows him to take stock in who he is and what it is he is striving for by the end of it. Fields knows this and it's through the incidental mishaps on the road that brings him to a point of forceful resolve when he finally reaches his destination.
A picnic on the lawns of a millionaire's home (accidentally mistaken for a park) is a comic gem and allows for some of Fields most inspired physical gags. I can only tell you that I am breathless from laughter when Harold goes to show his son how they used an ax to open a can of stewed tomatoes in the army ("or, maybe, I was thinking of the navy?"), resulting in tomatoes and juice all over his face and chest, or him sitting down on the picnic blanket to enjoy his lunch only to find him wincing from whatever it is he sat on and is pulling from the crack of his ass ("oh, there's the can-opener!"). Indelibly, each gag plays out like a heightened moment from any of our own fond memories of travel or vacation with our families. I was reminded of all the things my father did during that time off that would, ultimately, entertain me and my brothers by the pure stupidity of it all (like the time he decided to burn a fern tree in our yard. It was infested with bees. The tree was not taking to the spray that was used to remedy the malady, only to see the cops and the fire department show up, threaten to arrest him and fine him for nearly causing a forest fire in the woods immediately next to our house). A stop at a camp ground for rest one evening becomes one of the most memorable moments in the film as Harold joins some college-aged travelers, singing acapella, and finds himself disturbing a herd of cattle with his awful rendition of "A Proud Young Fella".
The direction of the film is one of the invisible delights of IT'S A GIFT and Norman McLeod keeps the proceedings real and truthful by rarely resorting to a close up. Almost all of the sequences that make up the movie are shot in master shots and this perfectly allows Fields a stage in front of the camera to execute many of the acrobatics and timings that made him a legend of the Vaudeville theatres in the teens and the 20's. There is a sort of elegance to the raw editing of the film and both the director and Fields strive for making the whole thing come off like a revisit to ones aged home movies. One shot in particular, however, seems to creep up at the half way point and seems completely, but wonderfully, out of place. The turntable of a Victrola record-player is seen centered in the frame and a hand comes in from the right to take hold of the needle and place it on a spinning record of "California, Here I Come". Completely cinematic and not in keeping with the naked energy of the rest of the film, the shot acts almost like a chapter stop introducing the next step of Harold's journey into forced discovery and separating it from the more civil moments of the sequences before it. I think what McLeod and Fields are doing by separating the "chapters" in the story is to make us understand that Harold is going from civility to an almost Neanderthal place in his psyche. He's got nothing to lose that he is already fed up with and it's his moment to take his destiny by the throat and wrestle it into submission. Harold is still a whimp and runs from the confrontations that loom over him and his wife, but in the midsection of the film he seems like an almost liberated soul that rarely, if ever, actually listens to his spouse in all her ranting madness and accusations.
In the end, Harold makes good on his promise of prosperity and happiness on the other side of the country. While it may have been by pure luck and complete coincidence that he finally got to that spot only reiterates, I think, Fields view of life as a series of events relieved by the belief that things will turn out all right in the end. Like my father, I see Fields as the dreamer, stifled and hen-pecked till he stands up and makes a move of complete authority and without any apologies because of the sweat he squeezed out over years of hard work to keep his brood and his home a secure one. Like my father and his trip to retirement in Florida, Fields is taking the chance, and enjoying all the funny little things that happen along the way.
Amelia admits that she loves her "old fool" of a husband in the end, happy that he stayed determined and got what they all were striving for. Like Amelia, my mother just goes about her day, calling me once a week, and telling me how wonderful it is to live where she does and with the guy that got her there.
My father hates this movie which, when you come to think of it, is probably the highest praise it could ever get.
I love W. C. Fields. The man WAS like a father to me.

Rarely are the two inversed, with the good side being the emotional one and the evil side being the indifferent. Related to Villains Act, Heroes React, although that particular trope is more about how the events of the story are motivated by the villain's actions. Also, do not confuse with Ambition Is Evil, in which you can tell the good guys from the bad guys because the bad guys are the one who want to change the Status Quo. This trope is specifically about when there are two metaphysical forces in opposition and one of them motivates through passion and emotion and the other through peace and enlightenment.

Normally "You're welcome" is in responce to appreciation (e.g. "thank you"). Here, he clearly doesn't appreciate not getting cookies (and probably storms off to his room upstairs), but she still thinks she's helping him. This is supposed to be funny. A non-humorous version is often used: "you'll thank me for this later".

NYC Quiet Residents
I don't think I've ever wished harder for the trees to talk. The quiet residents of New York City would have some stories to tell.
I don't think I've ever wished harder for the trees to talk. The quiet residents of New York City would have some stories to tell.
I travelled to NYC with two of the best friends in the world. The trip would have been so different if I had gone with anyone else. Not good or bad. It just wouldn't have been the same.
These two lovely ladies liked to sleep in. I, however, was wide awake at 6:17 every morning. I couldn't even try to tell you why 6:17 was the magic number but that's what the clock said every morning when I decided to get up. I couldn't stomach the thought of lazing around the hotel for hours waiting for the day to start. Not when I was only there for 3 days and 4 nights. I was determined to squeeze as much out of the trip as possible.
My favourite thing to do when I travel is to make something of a routine or do something that would easily become a part of my routine if I lived in the place I'm visiting. In some small way it makes the strange more familiar and it's easier to submerse even further. A walk is such a good way to start. I took to the streets at 7:00 on a beautiful, hot, hazy early summer morning in Brooklyn.
It was brilliant. Do this. Do this by yourself in the early morning hours in a strange place. It's the time of day when people are going about their daily routines. It's the time of day when the chores are getting done and people are heading off to work. I imagine that it's a pretty important way to start the day when the possibilities that present themselves throughout the day and night in a place like this make it so that you wouldn't possibly want to forgo any of that to take out the trash.
It turns out that the neighbourhood we stayed in was achingly familiar to our neighbourhood in Toronto. I completely relaxed into my surroundings. Greenpoint is this incredible mix of industrial and residential with a main retail strip thrown in for good measure. I found a cat in fenced parking lot under the overpass. While I was taking a picture, a city worker who was driving past rolled down his window to ask if everything was okay. I met two older gentlemen sitting on the stoop (I've always wanted to use that phrase in regular conversation) having their morning banter when they threw in a "Good morning, beautiful" and then kept on where they left off. And just to my left the garbage men were picking up cans and dumping them in the truck while they discussed and argued about the sports events of the previous evening. The trees rustled and the flowers bobbed up and down to avoid the breeze. I could see water peeking through the holes in the chain link fences that border Greenpoint at the East River. I asked a man who seemed to be stuck in the days of editing copy for the high school paper if he knew how I could get to the edge of the water without hopping fences or breaking laws. He explained the way like I had been a resident of the neighbourhood my entire life. Something like, "just go down here, then around the corner, you should see it." There was no reference to street lights, block counts, left turns or right turns. He did mention the East River Ferry and there was signage for that. Good thing. Because as I followed the signs for the ferry I reflected on the directions from the man and I still couldn't make sense of what he told me.
The East River Ferry sits at the bottom of an industrial dead end. Stray cars, stray cats and stray garbage punctuated with well dressed people on a mission to catch the ferry and get to work. The salt water air was a little breath of heaven, a little breath of home. I took my time on the pier as the busy commuters were rushing past. Two men were fishing in their grubby t-shirts and worn out jeans. They were running off a different clock. One that was governed by the activity of the fish. When they stop biting, it's time to go home. They were as far apart from each other as they could be. They clearly didn't want to be associated with each other, each one convinced they had the magic spot. The man further out clearly won that competition when he hauled out a good sized fish and it lay flapping and bleeding on the wooden planks. The commuters were divided between shock and awe. One very well put together woman seemed horrified at the barbaric nature of the scene but then took out her cell phone, took a picture then took a few steps closer to get a better look. The snappy man in the bow tie seemed to genuinely enjoy the scene and was asking a lot of questions. In a flash it was all over. The ferry arrived, took the commuters away and all the commotion and excitement went with them. The fisherman from the losing spot took a casual saunter over to the man in the winning spot so he could gain some valuable information about how to change his game for next time. From the end of the pier I captured Brooklyn, the East River, New York City, the East River again and Queens. It took a few shots but I managed to squeeze it all in despite the haze.
This wasn't the entire morning walk. I could tell you about the cafe with the beautiful floor that seemed to just be organizing the beginning of a business or lamenting it's demise. It was hard to tell. I could tell you about the bridge I walked that took me to Queens where I had the most delicious sugar doughnut. Or about how unbelievably hot it was at 9:00 am and how the strawberry iced tea was what saved me from melting. Or about the gum ball machine that dispensed the sweetest little plastic rings and how I spent $1.50 at a quarter a pop just to get three different ones. But I think I've said enough. You probably need to get started on your chores so that you are ready for the possibilities that will present themselves to you later in the day. You don't want to be stuck taking out the trash instead.
I can take pictures of bicycles forever so why I only have these four is a mystery. Just look at that last one! Why didn't I take more? Why?
What I did instead was rent a bike and ride around Central Park. Besides the travel migraine and the horribly out of shape body, it was one of the best things I did that week. It is a stunning, fast-paced view of one of the most beautiful parks ever created. I highly recommend renting a bike (preferably from a legitimate bicycle renter and not some street bum trying to rent out his transportation to feed his smoking habit) and hitting the bike lane.
The worst thing I did that week was to take a gel cap migraine pill without the help of water. After 15 minutes of trying to build up enough spit to wash that gigantic sucker down, a soft spot develped and caved in. The resulting liquid in my mouth caused me to gag, choke and lose all feeling on one side of my mouth for half an hour. I highly recommend the glass of water.
It was on the life list.
Visit New York City.
I went in May and I loved it.
The love was almost instant.
And it was a head over heels affair.
New York is a city of contradiction. Too many people. Not enough people. Concrete. Trees. Garbage. Food. Expensive suits. Rags. Stench. Perfume. Wealth. Poverty. Obstructed vision. Mile-long vistas. History. Brand spanking newness.
And this contradiction surrounded me in every square inch that I occupied. It could flip from one to the other in less than a second. Sometimes I could see it coming and others I was blind-sided. And I think it's this constant contradiction that creates that electricity most people associate with New York. That place is alive. And there is no better way to feel alive and be inspired than to surround yourself with it and immerse yourself in it. Even it's only for 5 days once in your lifetime.
I took a lot of pictures. About 800. Ahem. And averaging over 100 a day seemed like a lot until I compared it to my recollections. I should have taken more. But with my camera plastered to my face I would have experienced less. Another contradiction.
I will be posting a lot of pictures of NYC in the next little while. I might end up smothering you with them but it will be a nice alternative to the stagnant air that has been filling this space as of late.
It's hard to believe that it was one week ago that I piled the car with garlands, prints, bookmarks and canning labels and set up shop at the Halifax Crafters Society's Spring Fair. It was my first time doing a big show like that and it was a blast.
The thing that struck me most throughout the entire weekend was the amount of raw talent they can fit under one roof. There really is something for everyone. I had my eye on so many things it was nearly impossible to narrow the list down.
Some of my favourites from the show include: Hello Daylight (who doesn't love a good bike poster?) Bespoke Uprising (linen tea towels with the sweetest designs), Wanderlust (satisfying my new hankie obsession), Anna Taylor (maker of the gorgeous HFX embroidery), Heart and Hook (she makes me want to fill my home with terrariums), Kyla Francis (how did I walk away without a mug?), Sweet on Ewe (her antique sock knitting machine stole my heart) and Honeyspoon Baking Co (for the name alone and the fact that she has the best granola anywhere). There were more. So many more and each one is worth taking a look at. The full list of vendors can be found here.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by my spot to have a look, share letterpress stories, give lovely compliments or take a few goodies home. It was a great weekend.

A new report from ESPN on Tuesday revealed that Marshawn Lynch is expected to participate in the Seahawks mandatory three-day minicamp this week.
It had been previously reported that Lynch was going to skip minicamp while he tried renegotiating his contract, but now it looks like that will not be the case.
Lynch would have been fined around $70,000 if he had skipped minicamp, but ESPN.com's Terry Blount said "sources say Lynch does not want to pay the fine, believing the Seahawks will negotiate with him in good faith."
Lynch did not participate in any of the Seahawks OTAs earlier this month.
Since joining the Seahawks in 2010, Lynch has been one of the most valuable and productive running backs in the NFL.
After a semi-productive first year in Seattle, "Beast Mode" exploded for a career-year in 2011 and hasn't looked back since.
In the past three seasons, Lynch has averaged 1,350 yards and 12 touchdowns while only missing one regular season game.
He was one of the biggest contributors to the Seahawks Super Bowl run last season and he is expected to be an offensive force once again this season.
Lynch is about to begin the third year of his four-year, $30 million contract which will pay him $5 million in base salary for the 2014 season.
His salary makes him the fifth-highest paid running back in the league.

AND WE'RE OFF! Free agency has begun and while the big fish such as LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony likely don't figure to fit into Orlando's plans, the Magic still expect to be active during the free agency period. Now i'd like to start off by saying not all of these profiles are guys that Orlando has reported interest in, instead they are just players that we here at Presto in the Paint feel to be solid fits with the current roster. First up:
- Age: 25
- Height: 6-10 Weight:225
- College: North Carolina
- NBA Experience: 4 years (Toronto, Memphis) 58 career starts
- Career Averages of 6.9 PPG and 5.9 RPG
- Held opposing players to 43.3 percent shooting at the rim which ranked him seventh in the NBA (Min: 50 GP, 10 mpg)
- Respectable finisher at the rim (67.3%)
- Solid length for a power forward (7'0 wingspan)
- Good rebounder — career 10.2 rebounds per 36
- Poor free throw shooter — 52.8 percent last season
- Doesn't get to the foul line enough — Career high is only 3.7 attempts per 36
- Not a good jump shooter — 37.4 percent on jumpers last season
How he fits with the Magic
Davis, once considered the "centerpiece" in the first Rudy Gay trade never really panned out in Memphis. He was never really afforded much playing time because of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol. The Memphis depth chart actually seems to the reason Davis left Memphis. Davis views himself as a starting player, can the Magic offer Davis that opportunity?
I believe they can. If the Magic do believe that Nikola Vucevic is the Center of the future, then Orlando needs a lengthy defensive minded power forward to cover up for Vucevic's lack of rim protection. While some feel Aaron Gordon was drafted to play power forward — as I initially thought — I think it's increasingly likely that Gordon was drafted to play small forward. Orlando has rumored interest in a couple different power forwards and I don't believe the team is enamored with Tobias Harris as the starter due to his defensive deficiencies. Davis could come in and start right away and improve Orlando's interior defense immensely.
I'd imagine Davis is looking for a "short term prove it contract" so he can cash in sooner rather than later; so his contract will likely be in the ballpark of 2-3 years at 6-7 million per season. I've been campaigning for Davis since Orlando's season ended and believe he's the best fit and most reasonable option for Orlando at the power forward spot in free agency.

Hot Chocolate Without The Chalkiness
Cook's Illustrated executive food editor Keith Dresser weighs out a portion of cocoa powder ahead of a recipe test to see how different ratios of types of the product (regular versus Dutch process) affect the final texture of an in-development recipe for the ultimate hot chocolate, as too much of either can lead to an unpleasant chalky mouthfeel. Keep an eye out for his findings in an upcoming issue of Cook's Illustrated! See more behind-the-scenes photos at: http://bit.ly/o0qi36

Well, that thing has caught on like wildfire with Parks fangirls reblogging it left and right.

Somebody needs to send out a press release. "Beaucoup de women on Tumblr, looking for Ben Wyatt act-alikes. Bring waffles and Batman costumes. Inquire within."

Astronaut Snaps Meteor From Space
Photograph courtesy Ronald Garan, Jr., NASA
In an unusual picture taken Saturday from aboard the International Space Station, a meteor streaks toward Earth below. Astronaut Ronald Garan, Jr., was among the sky-watchers who snapped a "shooting star" during the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower.
Peaking late Friday through early Saturday, this year's cosmic fireworks were somewhat dampened by the glare of a full moon. But the height of the Perseids still offered a crowd-pleasing sight for many people worldwide.
"The Perseids are almost always a really good show, with usually on average about 50 to 60 meteors an hour during the peak," Jim Todd, staff astronomer and planetarium manager at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland, told National Geographic News last week.
Todd predicted that this year—despite the moon—stargazers would see around 10 to 20 meteors an hour during the peak. He also suggested going out on any clear night immediately before or after peak, when up to a couple dozen shooting stars an hour may be visible. The shower is officially expected to end on August 24.
With reporting by Andrew Fazekas.

Perseids' Stony Onlookers

Natural rock formations shaped roughly like human figures seem to stare at the heavens during this year's Perseid meteor shower in a picture taken August 13. Hundreds of the stone "stargazers" stand in the village of Kuklici, about 49 miles (80 kilometers) east of Skopje, the capital of Macedonia.
In general, meteors are produced when small pieces of space dust impact Earth's atmosphere at high speeds: "The streak of light we see is this debris burning up because of friction with the atmosphere," the Oregon science museum's Todd said. In the case of the Perseids, the grains that make meteors are leftover pieces from the comet Swift-Tuttle.

Turbine Shower

The streak of a Perseid meteor seems to cut through the blade of a wind turbine in a picture taken August 13 in Kavala, Greece.
As with other annual meteor showers, the Perseids are named after the constellation from which they appear to radiate—in this case, the constellation Perseus. (Take a Perseid meteor shower quiz.)

Meteor "Rain" in Spain

Layered limestone formations stand guard as a Perseid meteor streaks over El Torcal de Antequera, a nature reserve in southern Spain, on August 13.
To get the best views of the Perseids this year, the Oregon science museum's Todd recommended heading to areas free from light pollution and facing toward the constellation Perseus, from which the meteors seem to originate.
"Your best chance for spotting the meteors will be to move away from the urban city lights and view meteors in dark rural locations in the early morning hours, when the radiant is highest in your local sky," he said.

Meteor Shower Moon Gazing
Photograph by Jon Nazca, Reuters
A sky-watcher in Spain's El Torcal de Antequera nature reserve uses binoculars to gaze at the moon during the Perseid meteor shower on August 13. Glare from a full moon washed out some of the meteors during this year's peak.
However, even before the peak, sky-watchers around the world were reporting an average of 10 to 15 Perseids an hour, including surges of activity featuring brighter-than-average meteors, called fireballs, racing across the sky.
And there's still a chance to see some streaks as the Perseids shower winds down.
"If you don't see any meteors for a while, don't be discouraged," Todd said. "It's important to remember that sometimes meteors come in dramatic bursts rather than steadily throughout the night."

Danny Devito used that line in the movie, "War of the Roses."
We need a bank that will give decent interest on money we loan them.
I agree that banks are being responsible in loaning to people that can pay them back, and this chaos was caused, in part, by forcing them to extend mortgages to people that could not pay them. At one time twenty percent down was standard in getting a mortgage in times past, and for good reason. But I want profit on my investment, also. Not one tenth of one percent, which is offered by a local bank.
Banks should be competing for my money, and insurance companies should be able to compete across State lines.
Ask any entrepreneur you know and they'll tell you that raising money is the hardest thing they have ever done.
Sure there is a ton of money out in the world. That's why prices for dot coms went way up. And despite the subsequent bust, it didn't stop money from moving into real estate. And when real estate busted, it hasn't stopped money from moving into metals, oil and other commodities with astonishing rapidity.
Despite a sluggish economy in the U.S. in the last decade, world GDP had roughly doubled in that time from $32 trillion in 2000 to $63...

Onderwerp: hacking win2kPro out of the box
Hello there.
I've just installed win2k pro on an ntfs drive, I'm running zonealarm
and AVG antivirus, and not much else. (no service packs, patches,
upgrades or anything else like that)
Does anyone have any information on common attacks for local
priviledge escalation, and ways to secure against these?
The sort of thing I'm looking for is a detail of an attack, followed
by the procedure(s) I would use to:
a) recover from it if neccessary
b) thwart future attacks of it's type.
I basically want to swap roles between hacker and sysadmin so I can
learn more about the best of both worlds.
The box is not connected to the net.

Something Clever - Kill thread
Can I brag here for a moment? Just pretend it's around March or April of 2012 instead of the end of December...
My daughter got a push walker that is also a doll stroller for Christmas. She walked with it for the first time today! Like actually, all by herself, pushing the stroller and walking along just as you please. Her physiotherapist wanted her to walk by 18 months but privately I have always thought I would be happy if she walked by 2. That girl does things on her own schedule... she just started crawling a few weeks before her 18 month birthday!

Thanks! I am super pumped. She didn't roll over until close to 8 months old. Even with seeing a physiotherapist since she was 6 months old, she takes her sweet time when it comes to motor skills!

Btw, I'm talking about my pubes.
Damien 5/11 Sybil 7/12
I don't get when women say they are "too lazy" to do something with their pubes, or that it's too much work to groom down there. Long pubes are way more work than short ones or none at all. I don't mind pubes personally but keep that shit trimmed & groomed. It looks better, feels better, and is more hygenic. IMO of course!

so last month i was listening to my ipod on shuffle and unlike usual i actually listened to the songs instead of skipping to the next one every 15 seconds. while doing this, i heard a lot of songs that i hadn't listened to in what felt like forever but was probably only a month or two. and as corny as this sounds my appreciation for those songs grew. this got me thinkin. now i listen to paramore every single day. the longest time i've gone without listening to them (or any music at all) was for a week and it was for a school project. it was a torturous week. i don't wanna talk about it. anyway i thought that if i went a month without listening to paramore my appreciation for them would grow as well. but then i thought for a little bit longer and realized that if i went a month without their music i would probably go insane. literally. so instead i decided to choose one song from each of their albums to go without for a month. i started in september and the forbidden songs for that month were "here we go again"- 'all we know is falling', "crushcrushcrush" - 'RIOT!', and "brick by boring brick" - 'brand new eyes'. and i'm happy to report that my mission was successful and when i listened to those songs again (at midnight on october 1st haha) my appreciation for them did in fact grow. this month i chose "my heart", "for a pessimist i'm pretty optimistic", and "feeling sorry". anyway the point of this painfully long post is to get you to try it. pick your favorite song/s or songs from your favorite band/singer and don't listen to them for a month. then see if you love them even more when you go back and listen to them.

Hyundai i10
It's cheap and cheerful, but the Hyundai i10 is also a landmark car for Hyundai. It proves the Korean firm is capable of building a great city car, as it's practical, and offers big car comfort and high-speed stability. There are two small petrol engines on offer, which both offer low running costs. The Hyundai i10's small proportions mean that the Hyundai is at home in the city, but it can also cope with longer journeys. It's easy to drive, and the simple dash is logically laid out.
Hyundai i10 hatchback
- Very comfortable
- Spacious interior
- Fun to drive
- Interior quality poor in places
- No diesel option
- Overly-sharp brakes
The new Hyundai i10 is a sleek looking city car that is both economical and suprisingly practical for such a small vehicle. Even better, it's fun to drive – unlike many of its rivals – and it comes with Hyundai's five year warranty.
