So, it turns out Avery Bradley is going to be a part of the Boston Celtics' future.
Thats right, everyone: the Cs' first move of the offseason is officially in the books, and barring a trade, Avery Bradley will be a Celtic for another 4 seasons.
Can confirm that the #Celtics & RFA Avery Bradley have agreed to a deal. Terms: 4-year-deal worth $32 million.
— Baxter Holmes (@BaxterHolmes) July 2, 2014
The 23-year-old guard has just come off the best season of his career, despite missing 22 games. He proved to be a fairly consistent jump shooter and showed that he was capable of posting over 20 points on any given night. The defense was stellar as usual, and although Bradley logged more turnovers than assists (96 and 85, respectively), he demonstrated that he could help at the point guard slot when no better options were available. He struggled with his jumper in the early months of the season, only shooting 30 percent from deep in November, as the year progressed, so did he, and he steadily increased his efficiency from beyond the arc until he was hitting an impressive 39.5 percent.
But as great of a year as Bradley had, this deal was a big mistake for Boston.
The Celtics had tried to extend Bradley last summer to a four-year, $24 million deal, but Bradley's camp wanted more money, so the talks fell through. It was originally rumored that Danny Ainge was not willing to return to a deal as lucrative as the aforementioned, but clearly something changed, and yesterday, the Celtics decided to shell out an extra $2 million a season for his services.
Aside from the cap-clipping effect from this contract, the C's now are overloaded in the backcourt. They drafted two guards in Marcus Smart and James Young, and it was thought that Smart, the sixth overall pick, would play the 2, and be starting alongside Rajon Rondo come October. Now, with Bradley factored into the equation, it seems all but inevitable that Smart will come off the bench. Sure, it's nice to have productive players on the pine, but Phil Pressey was already handling the backup point guard role pretty nicely, and Smart's upside is just too high to risk hindering his growth by not giving him sufficient minutes.
Even when the logjam isn't considered, financially, the deal is an enormous risk. Bradley has already been with the Celtics for four years, but in that time, he has only appeared in 205 games. The injury troubles are very-much-so a reality for Bradley, who still hasn't shown the ability to stay on the floor for more than a few months at a time. His ankles and shoulders have both betrayed him on more than one occasion, and for someone who relies so much on his jumper to score, knowing his shoulder-injury history is a big concern.
It was also reported that the Celtics had contacted Utah's Gordon Hayward in regards to a possible signing, however, at this point, another 2-guard pickup for Boston would be redundant and completely unnecessary.
The C's were hoping for something special this summer, but now, Bradley's return has made that exponentially more unlikely. While the former Texas standout is certainly a productive player when he is healthy, the front office's decision to lock him up for another four years is leaving fans with more questions than answers.
Where will Ainge go from here?
We'll just have to wait and see.

But SBJ is back with fiery wrath that makes The Book of Revelations look like a nice bedtime story. First of all, Jennykins, I hope someone drops a house on you and steals your ruby slippers. Has anyone ever heard of a C-Section? Why yes, dear, most people who dwell where the sun will shine on their ass have, in fact, heard of a C-Section. Unlike you, you heartless asshole, most people don't think that a 12 year old girl should have all of her guts ripped out of her body and stapled back together like Dr. Frankenstein's monster just to appease your crowd. Just because a girl's menses has begun does not mean that she is physically ready to push a watermelon sized human out of her hoo-ha. Secondly, I'm going to tell you a little story. It's about a little girl in the second grade. Because of genetics, hormone laden chicken, or God was just being an asshole that day that little girl started her period. After seven little years of being on this earth, was she ready or capable of having a child? I see second graders all the time and not once have I seen one where I thought, "gee, she has good birthin' hips." But according to your ilk's rhetoric, it's just fine and dandy to strap her little seven year old body to a table, put a huge ass needle in her spine, rip her open from stem to sternum, and snatch another little human out of an already little human. No. Just fucking NO. Also, where does one get the idea that the parents of that minor have to raise that little crotch fruit? Where does the responsibility lie when it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise a child? The parents are going to have to be handing out double the milk money for a child they did not agree to raise. ***It's important to add that a 12 year old is not able to consent to sex, so if she's pregnant, Sweet Babby Jesus hopes someone is in jail.*** And just for good measure, fucking fuck all of you who think it's a good idea to force a child to go through major surgery because of your dogmatic beliefs. You're all so pro-life until a person is alive. Then it's "fuck'em, gut that slutty slut like a fish!" Do you all even realize what a monster you are? No love, Sweet Babby Jesus c-section c-sections for jesus PRO LIFE FAIL prolife pro-life Pro-life movement Anti-Choicers Antichoice movement forced c-section cesarian section surgery

There's nothing like a chipper chickadee to liven up a winter morning
Soon we'll be hunkering down for the cold months ahead. To raise my spirits on those cold days, I love to watch the wild birds. I like to get my feeding stations cleaned and filled up now so that I'll attract my fair share of birds over the winter. Also, if you get your feeders up now, you may just catch a glimpse of migrating birds as they abandon the regions north of us as they fly south. Attracting wild birds to your yard is simple.
To endure such unrelenting cold, winter birds need to stay active. Calories and protein fuel this activity. The trick to attracting birds is to provide calories and protein in forms that they prefer.
Sunflower seeds are an important source of both protein and calories.
Black Oil Sunflower is higher in calories per pound than Grey Striped Sunflower. Many folks believe that Striped Sunflower MUST be better because it costs more. In reality, the reason striped is more expensive is due to supply and demand. Striped sunflower seeds can be machine hulled while keeping the kernel intact. Humans consume hulled sunflower kernels in a variety of forms. These alternate demands on the supply of striped sunflower are what keeps the price higher than that of black oil sunflower. Black oil sunflower is grown almost exclusively for wild bird feeding. I've found that the smaller black oil sunflower kernels are more easily handled by chickadees and other small birds.
I consider the second most important food for wild bird to be fine cracked corn. Cracked corn appeals to ground and platform feeding birds like cardinals, doves and juncos. When you shop for cracked corn, be sure you get FINE cracked corn. Medium or coarse cracked corn is too large to be beneficial to small wild birds.
White millet is also a good source of protein and adds variety to the birds' diet.
Birdseed is most often purchased in a blend. There are dozens of blends on the market.
Usually the one with the cutest name or prettiest bag is the most popular. Be aware that many blends contain "filler" seeds that no birds eat. The most common "filler" seeds are red millet and milo. Their red color increases their "eye appeal" to the humans that buy it. Some "economical" blends can contain 50% or more filler seed. This means that you'll spend less each time you buy a bag but end up buying more bags over the course of the winter.
Below are two seed blends. The one on the left is an "economy" blend but all the red seeds you see are filler…birds don't eat them. On the right is Hewitt's Premium Blend…a simple blend of sunflower, cracked corn and white millet…all eaten by birds with no filler seed like red millet or Milo (rape seed).
Generally, the more red seed in a blend, the lower the actual value. Learn to ignore fancy bags and cute names. It's more important that the blend appeal to the birds rather than to you.
I like to mix the Premium Seed Blend with an equal amount of Black Oil Sunflower since birds will pick through the blend to get the extra sunflower seed (which is their favorite by far). Blended together Hewitt's Premium and Black Sunflower appeals to every bird with no wasteful red filler seeds.
A 50-50 blend of Hewitt's Premium seed blend and Black Sunflower (left) makes a perfect wild bird blend (right)
Attract woodpeckers with suet.
Suet, or rendered animal fat, is always available at my feeding station. It is VERY high in calories. Best of all, it attracts creeping birds like nuthatches, woodpeckers and flickers. During the very coldest days the suet disappears quickly as the other birds take advantage of the quick calories suet provides. I like to keep a few cakes in the freezer as a backup.
Make sure your feeding area is easily viewable
Make sure you place your feeding station where you can see it. Since you are buying all the seed and faithfully filing the feeders, you deserve to enjoy the show. It is also nice to have a tree or shrubbery nearby. After the birds visit the feeder, they'll flick to the nearest branch to peck away at their treat. This keeps them in close viewing range, making the show that much better.
There are some birds that won't go to a birdfeeder. Cardinals, doves, juncos and other ground feeders are attracted by tossing seed on the ground. You can also make or purchase a simple platform feeder to bring them closer to a window. The ground feeders will get plenty of seed since they eat what the perch feeders reject as they look for a sunflower seed. Sometimes when I approach the window slowly, I can catch a view of wild turkeys that come to take advantage of any seed that drops to the ground… What a treat! Thanks for the read.

By ELAINE KURTENBACH
Associated Press
SHANGHAI (AP) - To climb into Qiu Xiaolong's childhood home, down a narrow alley where women chop and fry lunch in shared kitchens, is to step on creaking floorboards into Shanghai's past.
But at the top of a steep, worn wooden ladder is a loft with a window revealing the silvery crown of an office tower, part of the glass-and-steel skyscape that heralds Shanghai's leap into the future.
But for a city to fully secure its place in the global culture these days, it helps to have a fictional detective taking foreign readers where the guidebooks don't go, and that's where Qiu comes in with his brainchild, Chief Inspector Chen Cao of the Shanghai police.
In China, the communist authorities still impose boundaries on all things creative, and an author must be careful how much of the recent past to insert into a work of fiction. That particularly applies to Qiu, a Shanghai native transplanted to St. Louis, Missouri.
His seven mysteries published in English often are based on real-life corruption scandals, political intrigues and murders, and at 59, this mild-mannered poet and literary scholar has lived through tumultuous times himself.
In his teens came the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, when aged revolutionary leader Mao Zedong, maneuvering against his rivals, unleashed ultra-leftist "Red Guards" to wage a reign of terror on teachers, artists and others of "bourgeois" backgrounds. Only Qiu's bronchitis spared him a stint, along with millions of others, at "re-education" camps in the countryside.
In 1989, when the military crushed the pro-democracy movement massed in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, he was on a fellowship in St. Louis, and decided it was best not to come home.
Qiu even has a fleeting connection to the man at the center of the latest convulsion in Chinese politics, Communist princeling Bo Xilai, who was ousted in an affair that includes a suspected murder. The two were graduate students at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in the late 1970s, though their only interaction, Qiu says, was when Bo borrowed his favorite pingpong paddle. He never returned it.
"One thing good about writing about China is that so many things are happening, you don't have to worry about writers' block," he remarked as he sat in a favorite Shanghai restaurant, "Laobanzhai," or the "Boss's Place."
Here, a dish described on the menu as "vegetable rice" sells for as little as 3 yuan (about 50 cents) a bowl, and penny-pinching seniors sometimes bring cheap cuts of meat in their pockets to slip into their noodles.
The very rich, on the other hand, can flaunt it on "knife fish," or Yangtze saury, an endangered species advertised by the restaurant for 4,400 yuan a kilogram (more than $300 a pound).
Coming back to the Bo Xilai case, Qiu is forgiving about the missing pingpong paddle, but he has qualms about Bo's style during his time as party chief in the sprawling Yangtze River metropolis of Chongqing, when he championed mass sing-alongs that harked back to the Cultural Revolution days.
It "speaks of the real danger of the Cultural Revolution staging a comeback," Qiu said.
The Shanghai that Qiu grew up had once been known as the "Paris of the Orient," but became a grimy shadow of its pre-communist glory _ a city of workers' fatigues and shoppers lining up with ration tickets.
Qiu worked at a textile factory and buried himself in books. His translations of T.S. Eliot's work into Chinese eventually led him to a Ford Foundation fellowship and St. Louis.
His Inspector Chen series began in 2000 with "Death of a Red Heroine," in which the investigation into the murder of a young woman, a model worker, leads to high places in the Communist Party.
Although his books are sold in China, the classic "whodunnit" remains an alien genre here, outgunned by zombie tales, he says.
Those are safer in a society where the police and the party are presumed to be infallible, Qiu explains.
"The focus is not on who did it. In the Chinese crime novel, you know who did it," he says. "A lot of people know who is the bad guy, but what can you do about it?"
Qiu came across the plot for his latest Chen novel, "'Don't Cry, Tai Lake," by accident. Walking in a park near the scenic but horribly polluted lake in Wuxi, outside Shanghai, he happened upon a spa for Communist Party cadres.
"I remembered that place from when I was a child because at that time it was very mysterious to me," Qiu recalled.

LA police say Bakley case solved
Robert Blake (b. September 18, 1933) is an American actor who starred in the film In Cold Blood and the U.S. television series Baretta. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted for the 2001 murder of his wife, but on November 18, 2005, Blake was found liable in a California civil court for her wrongful death.
Blake was born Michael James Vincenzo Gubitosi in Nutley, New Jersey, to Giacomo (James) Gubitosi (1906–1956) and Elizabeth Cafone (b. 1910). His brother was James Gubitosi (1930–1995) and his sister was Giovanna Gubitosi (1932–1985).
His father was born in Italy, arriving in the United States in 1907, and his mother was an Italian-American born in New Jersey. They married in 1929. In 1930, James worked as a die setter for a can manufacturer. Eventually, James and Elizabeth began a song-and-dance act. In 1936, the three children began performing, billed as "The Three Little Hillbillies." They moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1938, where the children began working as movie extras.

City of Kenai Awarded $80,000 for Bacteria Monitoring
The City of Kenai has been awarded a grant for $80,695 to monitor bacteria in the Kenai River. City Manager Rick Koch said the City will pass the funding along to the Kenai Watershed Forum so they can oversee the project.
Koch: "And they provide bacteria monitoring services for the Department of Environmental Conservation. Primarily around both sides and during the Personal Use fishery, and what they've been monitoring is a significant increase in enterococci and coliform bacteria levels during the fishery, because of the attraction for warm-blooded animals to fish waste."
Koch said birds are the major cause of bacteria, since they're attracted to the left over fish waste. What this grant will really do is…
Koch: "It'll help support our future fish waste management solutions."
According to grant documents, the project will monitor and test for bacteria at two locations at the mouth of the Kenai River (one site on the North Beach and one site on the South Beach) and at one upriver location near the Warren Ames Bridge (River Mile 5) to see if the beach management improvements have reduced the bacteria.

Dear Colleagues,
Technology is increasingly at the heart of all that we do at the university. The more efficiently we harness its capacity, the better able we are to do our jobs. Last spring, I convened a cross-section of faculty, staff and students from both campuses to evaluate our approach to information technology (IT) and how it meets our various needs. The Technology Review Committee (TRC) was charged with assessing our current IT practices and developing recommendations for an IT organizational structure, governance structure and strategic priorities to serve as the starting point for a technology strategic planning process. The committee submitted its recommendations to leadership in the fall. Based on these recommendations, we are implementing a number of changes to university IT organization and governance. To ensure that technology activities are aligned in support of our overall mission, we are establishing a new Office of Information Technology (OIT). This office will oversee Academic Technology and Extended Learning, Educational Support Services, and Information Technology Services. This is an opportunity to better align services and increase effectiveness for faculty, staff and students. Leading the new office as Chief Information Technology Officer will be Russell Poole. Russ has a track record of moving organizations to be more efficient and service-oriented while implementing major strategic initiatives. I have tasked him to work with the three OIT units—ATEL, ESS and ITS—over the next several months to determine how all the pieces will best fit together to create a more effective and service-oriented office. We expect some services within these units may be reassigned to other university offices.Next, we are establishing an IT governance structure that will allow for wider input from IT users across the university. I have asked Russ and Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Resources and Services Regina Kilkenny to work with campus leadership, faculty, staff and other governance groups to submit nominations for membership to five IT governance committees: Teaching/Learning, Clinical, Research/Creative Endeavors, Administrative/Communication, and Infrastructure. These IT governance committees will recommend to leadership priorities for the allocation of IT resources and will complete a full technology strategic planning process, of which the work of the TRC was the first phase. Priorities already identified include improving student-serving technologies and increasing services available through technology (for example, the student portal); making technology accessible, reliable and easy to use; engaging our research community with an immediate focus on data sharing, storage and preservation, collaboration and high-performance computing; making technology in the classroom an equal priority to courses on the web; and investing in training and in tech support. I am grateful for the excellent work of the TRC and hopeful that these changes will result in improvements in the university's technology infrastructure and how we deliver and use IT services.

UK.gov needs fresh law to protect taxpayers' ID
D Moss has the goods
Basically, there is no such thing as AN id for dealing with the government. There are many roles, some overlapping, some not. Individual departments and agencies have long since sorted out how they identify people for their various taxes, benefits, registers, licenses, etc.
The Cabinet Office, at one time, had a role with the ludicrously overwrought "gateway". Why? Who needs this central id? How will it map to all the separately gathered and verified ids across government? It can't. Let alone supersede them.
Of course, it is tempting to believe the centre of government can identify a citizen role with a single identity. But it can't. To my knowledge the Cabinet Office have been advised on this for at least 15 years without getting a clue. I don't expect that to change any time soon.
But is that even the point? As long as the seat-warmers have their budgets who cares?
Fukushima fearmongers are stealing our Jetsons future
You only need to read the post below...
...to see why Lewis Page's sober tripagulous reiteration is necessary.
"often" not "always", you see?
Do I need to speak slower?
Good in what way?
Annoying people by being utterly irrational? Is that good? Perhaps you favour smug ignorance?
Apple accused of iPhone ban on 'all single-station radio apps'
iPlayer is a single station
Are you saying "why would anyone want iPlayer"?
App Store II: Steve Jobs sucks Mac's soul
Blimey... do calm down dear!
Don't forget Sturgeon's Law... 95% of everything is crap. Have you looked at the App Store recently? There's no shortage there... and one can surmise that a very high proportion of apps bought are not, um, very good.
Then again... the App Store does have some excellent apps. If your thesis was correct these wouldn't exist.
But they do. You see?
There is room for a market full of shite AND some nice stuff that clever people like me want. *appropriate emoticon*
Energy-saving LEDs 'will not save energy', say boffins
I re-echo the calls of "arsewash"
If there is pent up lighting lust, how do these boffins explain the existing limit they imply?
If we all want loads more light... it is already dirt cheap. Why haven't we gorged at the teat of photon goddess already?
Or perhaps as the other guys here suggest... this story is cock.
Time to kill the zombie health records
I still don't see how they can be sure
I can see the benefit of knowing about some existing conditions, medication, etc. but how likely is a match for most names? If they find your credit cards will they try to dig deeper and will banks etc. cooperate? And how can they be sure they are your details? Even your car doesn't identify you. For sure, the guys who pick you up can do a great deal of exploration to find who you might be but most of the time they can't possibly match you to a Health Record unless it contains loads of information about you and your stuff.
In these days of ID theft it would be pretty hard to ID me or anything in my car with certainty. I just don't routinely carry anything specific that I don't need. And if they are going to treat you on this info, and if it is critical, they need to be pretty certain. How often will they know? Almost every time when you are accompanied, and almost every time if you have conditions for which you already carry medical warnings. Otherwise... I'd be very surprised... unless the SCR data is very intrusive.
The SCR scheme is very vague
I have had the mailshot, and subsequently tried to find out what data is involved. For example, how are we idenitified? If I'm in a car crash 300 miles from home, unconscious and alone how will they get at my medical records? How will they know they are looking at the right one?
But all we get is the ultra-vague platitudes of the PR material.
Then there's the "later" linked Detailed Records. What is this system? What is the impact of opting out of SCR? Who will have access? Again, super-vagueness and platitudes.
We have decided we will just opt out regardless. I can't get proper details about what is going on (despite millions being spent on glossy mailshots) and I have no confidence in CfH.
Police IT quango chief to quit
Can your employer pay your tax?
Off the top of my head - if the taxpayer really pays his income tax bill - I would expect it to be taxable as more income. I can't see why not.
Gov slams critical database report as opaque, flawed, inaccurate
Methinks Guv doth protest too much
Although I must say find their response flawed and inaccurate
ID fraud prevention week fights UK's fastest growing crime
Retail Footwear Piss Crime
I suppose you bleeding heart liberals are against the new government urine database too? Pah!
It is rather odd that this big hooha crime which is such a dreadful thing would not interest a policeman at all. The fuzz are simply not interested. The banks deal with it. And if you ask them about patterns of use (I have had my card details nicked to some unknown extent on one occasion) in order to avoid useless retailers, types of use, etc. they can't help.
Nobody deals with card crime... they just replace the cards. And increasingly block you every now and then (even with Verified For Visa.... what's that about then?) and phone you.
When the police take an interest I'll believe it is a problem.
North Wales Police says the law is what they say it is
@ Original Ash
>>>"Under what powers..." "Don't take a picture of me, you're compromising my safety." "Under what powers..." "Don't take a picture of me, you're compromising my safety." "Under what powers..." "Don't take a picture of me, you're compromising my safety." *Takes picture*
That isn't the story.
The police were happy to be snapped w/o licence plate (which is nonsense because you don't need a photo of a licence plate to know what the number is).
A dialogue with a policeman (as a public servant) is not simply a question of him coming up with a convincing argument (which he didn't). He also needs to act under the law, which he didn't.
You can't make the law up afterwards.
I'm sure MCN are evil etc. but it makes no difference to the facts.
'Exomoonologist': NASA can detect forest moon of Endor
It all adds up...
From the media last week:
"The Dutch national museum said Thursday that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood."
YouTube UK welcomes back the music
PRS only have themselves to blame
People don't seem to understand what they do.
What they largely do - with Google - is give up without a fight.
None of the PRS money goes to record labels unless they own publishing.
How will PRS distribute this lump? Based on radio One airplay? The Internet is known to have a different profile. Why doesn't PRS insist on getting paid by Google the same as the BBC? Why does Google get a special deal? When will the BBC say... Google doesn't pay, why should we? When will iTunes say Google doesn't pay, why should we? (iTunes also pays PRS for the writers as well as paying the labels for sales.)
And why doesn't PRS insist on proper accounts from Google? There are many tools which would allow electronic tracking of copyrights so that the writers could be paid properly.
(For the benefit of the people who don't know their labels from their publishers, it is the PPL royalty that goes to labels in the UK. American labels work in a different way but this isn't America.)
Apple iTablet snaps emerge
If they are genuine...
...I will eat my own arse.
Apple talks down (another) iPhone App Store critic
If Web 2.0 (sic) gave us what we want...
...we wouldn't buy apps.
But we do buy apps.
It is faintly ridiculous for Apple to warn me I should be over 17 to access an update to my Japanese dictionary app... but nothing to get excited about.
Though bloggers may froth I suspect most users won't lose any sleep over the banned apps.
Home Office mum over mad March at the CRB
If you read what I wrote you'll find I didn't say anything like:
"To use a "every man is a potential rapist" type argument is frankly absurd, your reasoning appears to be "if they fail the crb then they are a risk, and if they pass the crb they they are prolly a risk anyway - they have just not been caught yet"."
That argument and your rebuttal have nothing whatever to do with what I wrote.
You have made an argument I wasn't making and refuted it. That is your prerogative but you can't blame me. I'm not involved in your fantasy world.
Break out the long shoes...
Their concept of false positives and false negatives is hopelessly procedural. Surely their whole purpose is the protection of vulnerable individuals (improbable though that outcome may be)? A false positive means they did the paperwork wrong, and likewise a false negative means they let someone through who records showed was a risk. This is all about forms... Do we know that a false positive was really no risk? Of course, we don't.
The sooner this management-based bureaucracy is thrown out the better. Is there any evidence these partly-competent bureaucrats are having a positive effect in the world beyond their filing cabinets and flakey processes?
The fact they have no coherent overall management grasp of what they are doing, or how it is working, doesn't surprise me at all.
Blears sackee nothing to do with TheyWorkForYou
Civil Service Contract?
I don't believe there is such a thing as the CS contract mentioned by Anonymous Coward.
I certainly never had an employee contract and I was there for over 30 years (my own fault entirely, I know).
Your (my) working conditions as a Civil Servant were specified by The Official Secrets Act and the Civil Service Code.
These were supplemented by a very fat Departmental Book of Staff Instructions (later Guidance, of course).
It was never specified that email couldn't be used for political purposes. I was barred from doing almost anything for political purposes without management approval. And I was also barred from using the Internet for anything other work.
Normally, for a particular Department, it would be clear what merits instant dismissal, although fiddling expenses would normally be a dismissal offence in any Department. Or is that a different case?
MySociety denies role in Blears sacking
Gov email scrutiny
When I worked in HMRC they had a dedicated central team of e-communication scrutinzers. I would guess this lot has a similar system which scans the inward and outward email of employees for potential naughtiness.
One of my team was even pulled up for sending 'offending' comments (nothing I could get excited about) in an email to his home address! Presumably he was casting the Department in a bad light to himself.
Apple wilts under iPhone upgrade strain
How was it for you?
I upgraded last night OK (about 19:30). There were a couple of timeouts and a few error messages but I just did it again and it went through.
It's a good upgrade. The new features you know... but it's also brought a smoother feel to the touch interface (flipping home pages is faster), and things like browser text entry are subtly slicker.
PAC slams government's 'cosy' relationship with IT suppliers
The real story is that this isn't news
Where have the PAC been for 20 years?
This is routine. Departments are praised for getting in the private sector and forming "partnerships" (tres LOL). They are criticised for playing hardball because the external account managers schmooze gullible Number 10 sound-bite mongers.
If this is the extent of their understanding (a cross-government SIG? another one? who measured the effects of the last one?) nothing will change.
Remember when the NHS was praised for letting billions in contracts? And then castigated for exactly the same reason? If it wasn't my money I'd be laughing like a drain.
No charges for terror arrest Tory
Wasting police time, again?
These top Civil Service wonks who over-egged their wafer-thin case to set the Filth on this Government's political opponents should be nicked for wasting police time.
Or are we so inured to Rampant Dossier Sexing these days that our public servants can get away with living in their fantasy land at our expense and recklessly rack-up the bill on top?
(Bill, geddit?)
I am quite literally frothing. Quite literally.
Lies, damned lies and inflation statistics
Good inflation and bad inflation
Don't forget inflation isn't all born equal.
House price inflation is always good. Stock price inflation is always good.
Wage inflation on the other hand is evil and must be stamped out.
Tax inflation... for some reason, goes unremarked.
Police ad urges: 'Trust no one'
Wasting Police time?
One wonders if it is possible to waste police time these days.
It used to be a big deal but I guess if I shop everyone who looks a bit funny it will be OK?
Or is there a fine line between clever and stupid?

Paris, Off the Runway
Here, a short list of shows of the non-fashion variety worth checking out.
Here, a short list of shows of the non-fashion variety worth checking out.
An exhibit at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris examines the work of the artist and image maker Jean-Paul Goude through the lens of the Pygmalion myth.
One of the few things that can rival the fashion in Paris is the art. Don your cultural chapeau, while still going for full fashion immersion, with a handful of local exhibitions celebrating couture.
From the Sonia Rykiel show at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs. (Getty) Today begins the last event on Sonia Rykiel's year-long 40th anniversary celebration, the opening of Sonia Rykiel, Exposition, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Given all the fanfare — this year also saw a Rykiel catwalk show featuring odes by everyone from Jean […]

Who doesn't have challenges?
Both rich and poor alike
We will all die some day
Beautiful and ugly
Hunger and fullness
Does not discriminate
Is mankind's desire
A good voice is good
No matter where you are from
Don't you love money?
Everyone loves plenty of it
Everyone longs to worship a God
But the true God is the true God
Time is same for everyone
Yes same in quantity
Just like every country is on earth
Is love racist?
I don't think so
Just like a smile always warm and friendly
Opposite of a hard face
Jesus my savior is real just like heaven is
And hell is also
I turn the lights off
Darkness becomes real
Both are real
Very real
Like every other reality

In Exchange 2003 scheduling is handled by the Schedule+ free/busy system folder in your public folder database. If you have more than one exchange server make sure this folder is replicating and synchronizing between all the servers. You can use PFDVAdmin to view and make changes to the replication status. Install this tool on your pc, not the exchange server. You will need both dotnet 1.1 and 2.0 installed on your system. I would also modify the replication schedule to "always run" if you want the calendars to update the free/busy times for all users as soon as changes are made.

text: Seven years is just a technological eternity. The Ps3 has sold well for that long, from the time DJ Fatman Scoop and Ludacris hosted its blowout launch event in Nyc in 2006. At launch, the Ps3 was big, heavy, and high priced – it took very nearly two revisions and very nearly several SKUs of PS3 to have Sony to 2013. The console now starts under $200, the controller rumbles, Blu-ray could be the dominant physical disc format, backwards compatibility is just a moot point, and there exists a large straight back catalog of titles both physical and digital. PlayStation Move exists now.

Recent mental health legislation has attempted to reduce the stigma of mental illness by promoting the treatment of mentally ill patients, so far as possible, on the same basis as other sick people. Involuntary patients are protected against unwarranted detention by new appeal procedures. This author reports on appeal procedures in England, Wales, Scotland, Ontario, and New York State—how they work in practice and how well they succeed in protecting patients against needless confinement.

This is a delicious New York strip I picked up the other day.
Pro steak tips:
Let come to room temp for 2 hours before cooking.
About 1.5 hours into that, coat on all sides in a spice mixture of choosing that contains salt.
For a steak this thick, I grilled it for about 3min a side for a decent medium. (pic is a lil bright so you can't tell)

Her: We're safe here..
Him: no we're not
A man in the grocery store line today approached me and said, "Sir, when I first saw you I was extremely attracted to you, but then I noticed that you are a boy. How… I mean, why do you dress so provocatively?"
I responded, "Well, in today's world the majority of the straight male race view women as objects, or something that belongs to them. I dress provocatively because it attracts the attention of men in a sexual and OBJECTIVE way. However, when realized that I am actually male, they often become confused, disgusted, upset or all of the above. By inflicting this minor emotional damaged upon the ego of a man raised by twisted societal gender norms, maybe, just maybe the individual will think twice before viewing another woman with an objective attitude and sense of belonging. No woman, belongs to ANYONE. Male or female, the equality of human beings needs to be a priority. It is something worth dressing up for."
I AM NOT KIDDING. The woman behind me, the female cashier, the old lady bagging groceries and the woman in front of me who was talking on the phone STOPPED, …. and proceeded to gasp and clap. The man shook my hand, told me to have a blessed day and then said, "excuse me ladies, I need to visit my daughter."
…. I was shaking by the time I walked out of the store.

XBL just bans console's (usually) I am proof, 2 years ago got banned then went out and bought a XboX Arcade console and I used my same XBL account. Now I just play emu's & watch DVD's on my banned console. Why they gota hate? I understand kick'N pirated SW, but playing old school EMU's? They can never pull me away from old school games! The XBL Frogger is nothing comapred to its Original (Mame Arcade) version.
That's what I thought too. Guess another court battle is at hand.

You know what?
I'm good with this. I haven't been able to make much headway on MW2 because of all the hackers.
You log in, and instantly get transported to a world where gravity is super-low, you move as fast as sound, and they all have aim-bots.
It was fun/funny the first three or four times, but then it started to happen EVERY time I went online. My PS3 is at home, and I'm only there one week a month most times. I don't have the time to sit and play for days on end, leveling to get all the powerups and stuff.
At rank 35, I have hit a wall, because I can't get more than 5 or 6 kills per match. The hackers are there, and you know they're hackers...
One guy had two riot shields on, only way to hurt him was shooting his feet! He thought he was invincible, until I aimed low and got him. He was screaming bloody murder cause I beat his hack! He got 20 kills and only died once. BS!
Ban the hackers, it will make the games fun again.

I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it's madness. Ultimately, in the history of the world, penises entering vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure. Axes entering skulls, well, not so much.

The following article describes a way of using Pro Tools RTAS plugins inside another host such as Logic Pro. "Why?" You may ask. Well, because quite simply there are some pretty cool plugins for Pro Tools that you just can't get anywhere else - one of my favourites is the Sansamp PSA-1 distortion plugin. This thing just growls on the bass :)
This method requires two extra pieces of software one of which is free, the other is paid for, but thankfully it is quite popular and many people are already using it:
Plasq Wormhole 2 (free)
FXpansion VST to RTAS Adapter (€75 Euro)
Essentially we are going to use Pro Tools as an "effects rack" for Logic, so we are going to send audio to Pro Tools, apply the plugin in realtime, and send the signal back to Logic. However, the important thing is, we are going to do this all via software, so there are no physical cables needed of course. And the real beauty of this method...We are going to get Logic to calculate the delay and compensate accordingly. So, we can add Pro Tools plugins to a Logic mix and adjust them in realtime with delay compensation!
Insert a Wormhole instance on the desired track in Logic. For instance, I'm going to insert the Wormhole on my bass guitar track. Type in a name at the top so we can find the plugin inside Pro Tools, and select "Insert" in the Insert Chain section - this determines the plugin mode.
Open a new session in Pro Tools making sure to use the same samplimg rate as in Logic Pro. Create a new "Aux Track" in Pro Tools and insert a Wormhole plugin in the first effects insert slot, and the last like so:
Eventually you will be able to insert plugins in between these two Wormhole plugins.
Open the first plugin and select 'before', it also lists the name that you gave the plugin inside Logic (in this example: Bass)
The plugin should now look like this:
Next open the last plugin and select 'after', notice how it is the only available option. It is also a good idea to disable the audio output of this plugin so you do not hear the sound running through Pro Tools - we want to hear the sound inside Logic instead.
Now that the plugins are all configured you should be able to play your Logix session and hear the audio being routed through Pro Tools. Be sure to click the auto button inside the Latency section of the plugin. This reports the total time taken for the audio to be sent to Pro Tools, have DSP (plugins) applied and return. It then reports this to Logic which will automatically compensate for the delay - presuming you have delay compensation turned on in the preferences.
The Logic plugin should now look as follows.
The real beauty of this system is that you can then tweak the plugins inside Pro Tools in realtime as you mix enabling you to hear the plugin in context with your whole mix. And remember this concept can be applied to any other software DAW as well, so you are not just limited to Logic and Pro Tools, but Cubase and Ableton or any other combination you can think of. Happy tweaking!

The reason for this abnormal behavior of melting and freezing of ice has been explained by scientists as being caused by water melting from beneath the Antarctic ice shelves and re-freezing back on the surface.
But, even as this occurrence is observed, a Nasa scientist Walt Meier has commented that the growing Antarctic sea ice coverage is less significant a measure than declining Arctic sea ice coverage when assessing climate change.
A team from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute had earlier found that the fresh water melting from the Antarctic ice sheets had a relatively low density compared to the denser salty seawater. This means that the water accumulates and freezes in the top layer of the ocean during the summer months.
However, the Dutch report found that despite the increase in surface ice expansion each winter, the total mass of ice around Antarctica is shrinking because of the underwater ice melt.

Celebrate National Dance Day in Del Mar
A National Dance Day event is coming to Del Mar's Powerhouse Park on Saturday, July 30. National Dance Day is a grassroots initiative that encourages everyone, young and old, to move and come together through the creative expression of dance. Starting at 10 a.m., instructors from Sorrento Valley's S.K.A. Dance Studio will teach a hip hop routine choreographed by "So You Think You Can Dance" choreographers Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo in the park.
The event is open to everyone and a $10 donation is requested to support the Dizzy Feet Foundation, an organization that seeks to improve and increase access to dance education in the United States. The foundation was founded by Nigel Lythgoe ("American Idol" and "SYTYCD" producer), movie producer Adam Shankman, Carrie Ann Inaba (judge on "Dancing with the Stars") and actress Katie Holmes.
Powerhouse Park is located at 15th Street in Del Mar. To learn more about Dizzy Feet and National Dance Day, visit dizzyfeetfoundation.org

In Praise of Small Churches
- Tuesday, February 23, 2010
With a few exceptions, all churches were small at one time. They began with a handful of people and went forward from there. Some grew a great deal and are still expanding, some grew a little and leveled off, while some failed to grow at all.
If most of the churches in America of all denominations are small -- and in my mind, that means 100 or less in attendance -- then several things are true:
- In the words of Lincoln about common folk, "God must have loved them; He made so many of them."
- Small churches must be doing something right or people would not keep attending them.
- The "bigness culture" that is so dominant in American life has dumped a burdensome load of guilt on these small congregations. "If you're so good, why aren't you big?" seems to be the mantra.
- For every book celebrating the small church, there are a hundred telling them how to leave smallness behind and become "great."
Someone should put in a good word for small churches. Think I'll give it a try.
Here are my observations on small churches in America.
1) Size does matter
Although we sometimes say that the size of a church is irrelevant, that's not exactly right. Francis Schaeffer said there are no small churches and no big pastors. That's almost right, too, but not totally.
The numbers of people who participate in a church will usually dictate the income it receives and therefore the ministries it is able to do. Size matters.
The church that wants to send its members on missions to Haiti or Belize or Ukraine will need money. It takes members to contribute the money. A small congregation can come up with the resources to fund such excursions, but it's harder.
The church that wants to have a full-time pastor living on the field will need money for his support. The members are the ones expected to give that money. A small congregation will almost always less money.
Size is important.
2) But size does not have to be determinative
The small church can do everything it needs to do and everything the Lord wants it to do. God is its Resource, and His supplies are inexhaustible.
The greatest small church is one where the leaders and members never ask, "What can we afford?" but "What does the Lord want us to do?" Such churches are visionaries.
If the Lord wants a congregation of fifty members to send a delegation to Haiti to help with the rebuilding of lives, a "great small church" will find ways to do it. My opinion is the absolute worst way to fund such projects is for the church to set up a table at the entrance of the local supermarket and ask the public for contributions. That makes the church a charity, not a ministry. Good people will often give a contribution--I try to do so myself--but they will do it warily, unsure of whether the money will ever make it to the designated project.
Better for the members to get under the burden of funding the work. Call the members together, prayerfully set the goal, and ask each one to commit to reaching it.
The fellowship and camaraderie of working together to achieve a big goal will far outstrip the joy of collecting the money at the supermarket on Saturday. The sense of accomplishment once the mission team returns can be life-changing to a small church.
Small churches can do anything the Lord wants them to do. The first congregation assigned to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus was no more than 120 strong. And yet, look what they did.
3) It's easier to get things done in a small church
A church running 50 in attendance will have a part-time pastor and maybe 3 deacons. If a decision needs to be made today, the four of them can meet in the hallway between Sunday School and Church. All the leaders of that church combined will not number more than a dozen. Such a small group can meet easily and quickly and do their business efficiently.

This was my Easter special, got very little awareness really. It's a shame because I was particularly pleased with the way the layers came out.
What do you lot think?
Well that just, like, your opinion, man.
I used to get annoyed about it, but to be honest those guys are not that well off, they come from the same place that I did, and I'd rather they made money off it than rich art dealers and bandwagon-jumping celebrities.
The Onion do make me laugh, I don't know how I've never seen this before. Cracks me up proper.
For the record, I'm male and I don't have any grandchildren… yet.
Someone sent this to me - someone got a tattoo of some of my work!
Has anyone else out there got a Banksy tattoo? Send it in to me and I'll do a series on them. Might even do a stencil, of someone with a tattoo, of a stencil. Mental.
Here's the full set of animated gifs that http://madebyabvh.tumblr.com/ did of my work.
Really love all of these.
So apparently there's this guy: http://madebyabvh.tumblr.com/ and he makes animated gifs of my work!
Now, I like my work, and I like animated gifs, so this really appeals to me. Wish I'd though of it myself to be honest. Nice work lad.

Lois: "I'm confused, Kent. See, I've lived in Metropolis most of my life and I can't figure out how some yokel from Smallville is suddenly getting every hot story in town."
Clark: "Well, Lois, the truth is I'm actually Superman in disguise and I only pretend to be a journalist in order to hear about disasters as they happen and then squeeze you out of the byline."
Lois: "You're a sick man, Kent."
Clark: "You asked."
