|DFLSC Host:
|Karl Goodman, DFLSC Article Editor
Professor Sheryll Cashin
Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center
Professor Cashin worked in the Clinton White House as an advisor on urban and economic policy, particularly concerning community development in inner-city neighborhoods. She was law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Judge Abner Mikva of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. She graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. As a Marshall Scholar, she went on to receive a masters in English Law with honors from Oxford University in 1986 and a J.D. with honors from Harvard Law School, in 1989, where she was a member of the Harvard Law Review. Cashin was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, where her parents were political activists.
Professor Cashin's piece considers a social science aspect of discrimination against Muslims. She considers society's willingness to trade personal liberties for national security, and advocates remedying this mentality by local programs which promote increased, inclusive multiculturalism.
Aziz Huq
Assistant Professor of Law, University of Chicago Law School
Professor Huq is counsel in several cases concerning detention and national security policy, including Omar v. Geren and Munaf v. Geren, challenges to US citizen's detention in Iraq. He has advised and spoken before legislators on issues related to the Separation of Powers, excessive secrecy, and illegal detention. His book with Fritz Schwarz, Unchecked and Unbalanced: Presidential Power In A Time of Terror (New Press), was published in 2007, and will be reissued in paperback in spring 2008. He is a frequent contributor to The Nation, the American Prospect, the New York Law Journal and Huffington Post. His articles have also appeared in the Washington Post, the New Republic, Democracy Journal, TomPaine, and Colorlines. In 2006 he was selected to be a Carnegie Fellows Scholar. He also teaches a seminar in Just War Theory and Terrorism at NYU School of Law.
Professor Huq's article compares the different views of radicalization — the process through which religious fervor allegedly transmutes into terrorist tendencies — in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Tung Yin
Professor of Law, Lewis and Clark Law School
Before joining the Lewis & Clark faculty, Tung Yin was associate professor (2002-2007), professor (2007-2008), and professor and Claire Ferguson Carlson Faculty Fellow (2008-2009) at The University of Iowa College of Law. He also practiced law from 1998-2002 with Munger Tolles & Olson LLP in Los Angeles, California, where he represented clients in white collar criminal defense and employment discrimination matters. Yin's scholarly work has focused primarily on domestic legal issues arising out of the United States' military and prosecutorial responses to the 9/11 attacks and has examined such matters as the jurisdiction of the federal courts to entertain habeas petitions by Guantanamo Bay detainees, the theory of unilateral executive branch war powers, and the potential constitutional rights available to alien detainees outside the country.
Professor Yin's essay tracks changes in the portrayals of Muslims and Arabs in American TV and Film. He analyzes how their portrayal in pop culture affects Americans' perception and opinions of Muslims and Arabs in the real world.

Panel Discussion: Defining Muslim Civil Rights in a Post-9/11 World (1:15 PM – 2:30 PM)
|Professor Guy-Uriel Charles, Duke University School of Law
|Professor Natsu Saito, Georgia State Law SchoolGwen Alexis, Ph.D., J.D., Monmouth UniversityProfessor Peter Danchin, University of Maryland
|DFLSC Host:
|Lauren Weinstein, DFLSC Article Editor
This panel will discuss critical issues in redefining basic civil rights for Muslims since 9/11. The panel will feature Professor Natsu Saito and her article Instruments, Then and Now: Constitutional Accountability in Post 9/11 America, Professor Peter Danchin, who will discuss his article The Right to be Free from Religious Discrimination?, and Professor Gwen Alexis, who will speak on her article Not Christian, but Otherwise Qualified: Religious Diversity in the Workplace.
Once opened for discussion, this panel will aim to be an opportunity for self-reflection for Duke Law students and faculty, creating critical thought about evolving moral and constitutional standards regarding civil rights for Muslims and the challenges we face in establishing and maintaining legal equality for this group.
Professor Natsu Saito
Professor of Law, Georgia State University Law School
After receiving her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1987, Professor Saito worked for Arnall, Golden & Gregory, Troutman Sanders, and Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy, and taught as an adjunct at Emory Law School prior to joining the GSU College of Law faculty. She is a member of the Georgia Bar and has on the Committee on the Involvement of Women & Minorities in the Profession and the Georgia Supreme Court's Commission on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts.
Professor Saito's article compares the political and social factors surrounding the Japanese interment during World War II to the current government's treatment of Muslim-Americans and Arab-Americans in its policy and rhetoric. She asserts that similarities persist that create discriminatory practices targeted at these groups.
Professor Gwen Alexis
Associate Professor of Management
Professor Gwen Alexis completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Southern California, where she was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma, the international business honor society. A member of the New York, New Jersey, and Florida Bars, she received her law degree from Harvard Law School. Professor Alexis's article explores the conflict between the status of the United States as a haven for religious freedom and the overwhelmingly Christian history and culture of our country. She argues that the non-Christians warrant special legal protection in the workplace to ensure that religious freedoms are not subsumed into a predominately Christian culture.
Professor Peter Danchin
Professor of Law, University of Maryland School of Law
Before joining the faculty at Maryland, he was lecturer and director of the human rights program at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. He has served as a foreign law clerk to Chief Justice Arthur Chaskalson of the Constitutional Court of South Africa, worked as a foreign associate at the New York law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom, and as an associate at the Australian law firm of Allens Arthur Robinson. His areas of interest are international law, human rights law, and comparative constitutionalism. His recent articles have been published or are forthcoming in the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law, the Yale Journal of International Law, and the Harvard International Law Journal. His most recent book United Nations Reform and the New Collective Security (with Horst Fischer) is forthcoming in 2010 with Cambridge University Press.
Professor Danchin is writing about the tension between First Amendment rights and the right to be free from discrimination, particularly exemplified by the Danish Cartoon controversy.

Introduction and Overview and Panel I

|Apache Struts 2 Documentation > Home > FAQs > Cookbook > Handling File Uploads
The framework comes with built in file upload support. Uploading a file is simple. When FilterDispatcher receives a request, it checks to see if the request contains multipart content. If it does the dispatcher creates a MultipartWrapperRequest. This wrapper handles receiving the file and saving to disk. It is important for the Action programmer to check to see if any errors occured during processing. Three properties can be set that effect file uploading.
|Ensure you have the necessary file upload libraries in your application. If using the default file upload parser, Commons Fileupload and its dependencies should be in your application's classpath.
Properties can be set by putting a struts.properties file in WEB-INF/classes. Any property found in the properties file will override the default value.
If you're happy with the defaults, there is no need to put any of the properties in struts.properties.
# put the uploaded files in /tmp. My application will move them to their
# final destination
Note, while you can set these properties to new values at runtime the MultiPartRequestWrapper is created and the file handled before your Action code is called. So if you want to change values you must do so before this Action.
<%@ taglib uri="action2" prefix="s" %>   <title>File Upload Test</title>
File Upload
 <form action="FileUpload.action" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

 <input type="file" name="FileName" value="Browse..." size="50"/>

  <input type="submit" value="Submit">

  </form>
That's all you have to do to upload a file. No coding required, the file will be placed in the default directory. However, that leaves us with no error checking among other things. So let's add some code to the Action.
Before the Action method is called the dispatcher will upload the file. Then we can get access to information about the file from MultiPartRequestWrapper.
MultiPartRequestWrapper multiWrapper = (MultiPartRequestWrapper) ServletActionContext.getRequest();
The first thing you should always do is check for errors. If there were any, there's no point in continuing, most methods will return null. Unfortunately, currently there is no easy way to distinguish what error occured making it more difficult to route to different error pages.
if (multiWrapper.hasErrors()) { Collection errors = multiWrapper.getErrors(); Iterator i = errors.iterator(); while (i.hasNext()) { addActionError((String) i.next()); } return ERROR; }
Now get the input tag name for the uploaded file and use that to get information on the transfer. Since you can upload multiple files (just add multiple input tags) at a time getFileNames returns an Enumeration of the names.
Enumeration e = multiWrapper.getFileNames(); while (e.hasMoreElements()) { // get the value of this input tag String inputValue = (String) e.nextElement(); // get the content type String contentType = multiWrapper.getContentType(inputValue); // get the name of the file from the input tag String fileName = multiWrapper.getFilesystemName(inputValue); // Get a File object for the uploaded File File file = multiWrapper.getFile(inputValue); // If it's null the upload failed if (file == null) { addActionError("Error uploading: " + multiWrapper.getFilesystemName(inputValue)); } // Do additional processing/logging... }
Code above may be packed into one nice reusable component (Interceptor) that handles 90% of all typical file upload tasks. And Action does not know anything about web-app and just gets its files. Neat.
For more, see the File Upload Interceptor

Rubinstein: Complete Piano Sonatas
CDD22007 2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1)
Movement 1: Allegro risoluto e con fuoco
Movement 2: Allegretto con moto
Movement 3: Andante
Movement 4: Allegro vivace
The two themes of the opening Allegro risoluto e con fuoco are both economically devised, and bear the customary masculine/feminine relationship of the Romantics' interpretation of Classical sonata form. One phrase of the first theme also does duty for linking material and eventually generates a counter-theme to the return of the second theme. Altogether an imposing piece, this movement also shows a good many strokes of a harmonic personality which, if not unnervingly original, is at least recognizably individual.
The Allegretto con moto is a little masterpiece. Cast in 2/4, in A minor, and marked piano and misterioso, this march-scherzo is full of delicate contrasts between legato and staccato, which continue through the largely half-lit trio section with its succession of almost primitive cadences which might have delighted Mahler.
The intensely romantic Andante at once recalls Schumann and anticipates Brahms. Essentially monothematic (the middle section—moving to E flat minor from the original C major—derives from the third phrase of the theme), the movement is beautifully balanced between expected and unpredictable changes of harmony.
The fourth movement, Allegro vivace, is a rapid tarantella (like the finale of the second sonata) and set, unusually, in F minor. There are two supplementary themes: a big C major section with repeated chords, and a lyrical melody in D flat. Each of these sections commences its own development at once while the tarantella theme is used for counterpoint and modulation. The recapitulation follows immediately with all the material in F minor then F major, with further development and side-stepping of the inevitable coda, which eventually appears, presto, indisputably to confirm F major for the conclusion. (A later edition has an inexplicably revised coda with an interrupted cadence at the end of the peroration. It is not employed here.)

Gorons can be thought as creatures that live in the video game franchise Legend of Zelda. If a person takes a deper look one can see that they refer to the beaners of the video game world. They are dark skined and live in a rural place where they can eat spicy rocks all the time they want. You often see them sleeping, as in the pictures of a Mexican sleeping next to a palm tree. When theres a party, these people know how to party and dance. They live in big families and are often seen selling things. They are the only characters know that immigrated to other parts, and when they do they sell things at different corners.
I just bought some oranges from that goron at that corner.
بواسطة Jamal Brown اغسطس 21, 2005
A person who intentionally fucks up a multiplayer game online for the benefit of his or her amusement, typically the goron uses hacks to completely devestate his or her team usually resulting in vicious remarks to said person.
e.g.(killing teamates, weapon-jacking, alerting members of the other team to your teams position, screaming into the mic or spamming)

never gem for parry as a DK. If you must do something other than 30 stam, go dodge/stam on red slots instead.
Is the rune of swordshattering worth using in ICC? On top of that, is it also worth giving up some purple slots for some parry/stam gems?
never gem for parry as a DK. If you must do something other than 30 stam, go dodge/stam on red slots instead.
My point in asking is with Chill of the Throne, we get a flat 20% reduction from dodge. On top of that, diminishing returns doesn't get reset with this reduction, so I'm thinking maybe boosting parry instead would work.
I'm also aware that gemming for dodge over parry (given you're good on expertise, hit and stam) is favored. But with the debuff in ICC, I would like to confirm.
I'm also sitting at 40k unbuffed right now that's why i've considered trying this.
No. It won't work. Chill of the Throne doesn't change the value of Parry vs Dodge.
What Sterbefall means to say: If you want more avoidance on your gear Dodge will still (generally!) be on a less heavy diminishing return for you than parry will be. So (generally! don't make me add a disclaimer!) for most of you you'd still be better of going for dodge/stam or pure dodge gems if you want to gem for more avoidance.
My lack of proper signature actually is a proud minimalistic stand
The point is, Chill of the Throne will not change the priorities of dodge vs parry, at all.
The same rule applies, and for DK's that rule is the heavy amount of Parry rating we get from Strength will make it nearly impossible to get more avoidance value out of gemming for Parry than Dodge rating (unless you're using a LOT of pure dodge gems).
As for weapon runes, it doesn't change anything about that either.
SSG = 1% miss, 1% dodge, 1% parry, and +2% health (for a very well geared tank that could be about 500-700 health)
SS = 4% parry
Rune of SS will get you more pure avoidance and more threat via RS and parries. Rune of SSG will get you less avoidance, less RS procs, but will get you health (which is obviously a happy thing for tanks).
Make your own choice, one is not universally better than the other.

Ill admit, I take a few Str gems in select slots. But then again, my guild is trying to push my threat generation to the moon.... I was pulling 26k threat per second last night when we bloodlusted on Lady Deathwhisper.

If all classes are on par, then they will be on par with DPS. TPS will be different based on the class. Out of curiosity, how was the 9.6k measured? That's pretty intense if they averaged that over the entire fight. With all the moving to avoid cold flames and the switching targets to kill bone spikes, that is pretty impressive.
And that his GIANT hit box tends to mess with minimum firing range on the poor hunters...
The (Old) Book on Death Knight Tanking
The New Testament on Death Knight Tanking
I think it was Recount, so probably took in account the spikes. Not to mention we probably had BL up (can't remember exactly)
Mostly, he just got plain lucky though, his crit rate on that fight was about 15-20% over his theoretical, which as MM adds a truckload of damage. That and the boss almost always went for the other side, so he could continue nuking.
I'll know more when my guildy puts up a log online, but even so, I can definately see some of our DPS break 8k DPS on fights like that, where tanks have a hard time gaining more threat during the Whirlwind.

Well once the whirlwind hits, you don't really need to gain more threat during it. It resets at the end, so then they have to re-establish then, which isn't hard to do if you call a dps halt after he targets the 4th person for the whirlwind.

Well that's it. The Brit Awards - the night when the music industry's finest come together to slap backs and quaff Champagne - is over for another year. If you've already decided on the best dressed attendee, re-watched Justin Timberlake's Mirrors performance on YouTube at least five times and discussed which of James Corden's gaffs was the most cringe then how about taking a glimpse at all the behind the scenes action with Instagram pics from the winners (and the losers).
Pop star Ellie Goulding was a very popular girl, appearing in photos posted by both Rita Ora and Jessie J. Rita shared a snap of herself with the Explosions singer alongside DJ Calvin Harris with the caption "Lets take a shot to having the best year! Shall we?" With that mind frame we imagine the group had a very raucous night. Ellie was also seen hanging out with Jessie J who referred to her as "My Snow White". We think she's getting confused, Snow White is a brunette.
For her third costume change of the night following a sexy Balmain dress on the red carpet and black floor-length gown to present an award, model Jourdan Dunn opted for a casual ensemble for the after parties including a leather skirt and matching crop top and a pair of trainers.
And finally, Holly Willoughby wasn't sure when the night should end as she tweeted from a Brits party "Brits-done, boat party- doing, cab home-soon????!!!!" Perhaps she was toasting the imminent arrival of her best friend Fearne Cotton's first child Rex who was born early this morning.


text: Showing loot rolls doesn't work for lfr because it is not a "drop" that everyone rolls against each other for. The new lfr system is a hidden personal roll. So if the internal number is say...20%, then maybe you get a hidden 1-100 roll. If you roll above 80, loot appears in your bag. It's different from the 5 man system of high roll wins.

Whether you are in your home, walking in your neighborhood or hiking on a trail, it is important to know what to do if there's a chance you have been exposed to rabies. Rabies is caused by a virus that is spread through the saliva of an infected animal. Even tiny breaks in the skin allow the rabies virus to spread from the infected animal to humans and other animals. Taking the right action can make a big difference in keeping yourself, your pets and our community safe from rabies.
Treatment for rabies is very costly and is not covered by all health insurance plans. Health Director Gibbie Harris reports that when someone has been potentially exposed to rabies, it is crucial for health officials to be able to assess the risk of exposure by testing or quarantining the identified animal. This is why it is very important for the public to know that they should get help from Animal Control to capture and remove the animal rather than to let it go.
In 2013, Buncombe County Health and Human Services reported 843 animal bites that required investigation by Disease Control Nurses to help victims determine if they were exposed to rabies. Over 20 people received rabies prevention care (clinically known as post-exposure prophylaxis – PEP).
According to Harris, the two most common mistakes people make are:
Learn how to protect yourself and your pets from rabies. Important ways you can help prevent exposure to rabies:
What do you do if…
Be alert to signs that an animal may have rabies. Some animals may show no symptoms at all. Others may have all of these symptoms:

Year after year, Indianapolis 500 drivers gather with racing big wigs, celebrities, and even a few lucky people like me, to join together in celebrating the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. On Monday night, we all braved the rain to honor Dario Franchitti in his second win and the 32 other drivers on their efforts. Now, I could tell you about the $13,592,815 in purse money given away that evening or the highlights of Franchitti's spot on performance on Sunday. But there are other places you can read about that. I'd like to share with you a few other highlights, from the perspective of a lucky girl.
This was not the IMS Event Planning Teams' first rodeo – err, race. Per usual, yellow shirts galore guided us to the speedway pavilion where we were greeted at our cars by golf carts to get us into the banquet, and out of the rain. Upon entering the tent was a bar offering The "Caipirindy", based off of Brazil's "National Cocktail" the Caipirinha, or what driver E.J. Viso tells me – a headache. There was another signature drink available called The "Finish Line" but quite honestly I passed because it looked like a cross between a Bloody Mary and a berry smoothie. Then again, maybe that was just Sunday's festivities haunting me.
After a bit of mingling (for me this consisted of smiling and waving as I hunted down something other than a Caipirinha) we were seated to a meal of standard banquet food, and the show began. Side note on the subject of seating here: this year the members of the board, the Hulman-George Family, the drivers, and guests were seated at long banquet tables, rather than the usual round tables. Good for TV, bad for me as I quite enjoy secretly observing the expressions of the guests throughout the evening…annnnnd I think I just discovered one of the reasons that's changed.
The introduction "short film" was incredibly well done and I would say the best opening of the Victory Celebration I've seen in the five years I've been attending. In fact, I meant to ask Terry Angsted and John Lewis, with whom we were seated if they've looked into their SAG cards yet. Move over, Brad Pitt.
The evening was full of jokes and thank you's, tears and even a little prescription drug use – ahem, Ryan Hunter Ray. In all honesty, I'd be lying if I said I didn't catch myself doodling once or twice (no offense Dave Calabro) but at the end of every Victory Celebration there comes a moment. You see the winner and their team on stage, applauded by their peers and admirers. And you see the look in their eyes when they look at the Borg Warner Trophy and know that their face will be forever etched in history as a winner of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing." And in that moment that you know it's not about the purse money, or the cocktails, or the high end production television.
It's about the love of racing.

Poulenc: Mass & Motets
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55448
No 1: Timor et tremor
No 2: Vinea mea electa
No 3: Tenebrae factae sunt
No 4: Tristis est anima mea
The third and fourth in Poulenc's ordering were written first, and they are the more stylistically progressive. Tenebrae factae sunt—dedicated to the great compositional mentor Nadia Boulanger, who conducted the first performance in December 1938 of his Organ Concerto—is a collage of abrupt mood-shifts. There is no other moment on this disc to compare with the sopranos' stark chromatic descent on the words 'exclamavit Jesus', the angular, similarly chromatic phrase for 'Et inclinato capite' first heard in the tenors, or the tight set of descending parallel chords for the word 'ait'. Equally unusual, in the context of this recording's repertoire, are moments of the fourth motet Tristis est anima mea. With particular responsiveness to the text, Poulenc creates a hushed, fleeting disquiet for 'Vos fugam capietis' (marked vif et inquiet and mystérieux), rare semiquaver melismas on 'et ego vadam', and the only instance here of nine-part divisi writing on the final page. All of this points towards Poulenc's twelve-part tour de force of a cappella writing, Figure humaine from 1943.
The first two Lenten motets, Timor et tremor and Vinea mea electa, create their own very finely articulated moods, though within more modest musical parameters. So much of what was to become Poulenc's trademark choral style is established here: the sharply defined dynamic contrasts, phrase-by-phrase; block-like shifts from one textural grouping to another; a persistently unsettled meter, with 3/4 or 5/4 bars regularly cutting across an apparently flowing 4/4; and distinctive, often ingenious chord progressions. Timor et tremor, appropriately, is an edgy, dark imprecation, while Vinea mea electa contrasts the tender opening (marked excessivement doux on its return) with the anguish and outburst of 'ut me crucifigeres' (sung with calm resignation) going into 'et Barrabam dimitteres' (a sudden forte).

Neil Custis writes in The Sun...
Bale holds the key for United
United are hoping Gareth Bale can rescue their bid to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo. United are convinced a successful £85million Real Madrid swoop for the Spurs hero will open the door for Ronaldo to return. Real president Florentino Perez claims Ron will pen a new deal but the Portuguese superstar has yet to make his mind up on his future. Perez has already hinted Real are ready to make a world record bid for Bale. He would be the perfect replacement for Ronaldo and United are confident that - despite interest from Paris St Germain - Ronaldo will only sign for them if he leaves Spain. United will offer Real £65m - plus a player like Nani or Javier Hernandez - if they get the green light from Ronaldo. Perez has smashed the transfer record four times to get Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Kaka and Ronaldo and Bale could be next. He said: "For those players and investments that generate income, you can give everything in life. But we don't speak of Bale so much because he plays at a friendly club and they will be annoyed."
In more speculation, The Mirror believes United are closing in on Benfica defender Ezequiel Garay, who will reportedly cost £17million. And speaking of money, the Daily Star claims the Reds may have to pay Bayern Munich to end their interest in Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski. The German giants are believed to already have an agreement in place for the Polish star.
Meanwhile, the same paper says Nani will decide his future this week – but the tabloid expects the Portuguese winger to quit Old Trafford. It was reported on Wednesday that a £7million bid from Galatasaray was turned down by the Reds.

Franck: Piano Music
Movement 1: Prélude: Allegro moderato e maestoso
Movement 2: Aria: Lento
Movement 3: Final: Allegro molto ed agitato
Both of the original Bach themes mentioned above refer to the sufferings of Christ, and the 'motto' motif of redemption happens to be shaped like a cross. The final (unintentional?) pun is that this same 'motto' theme, present and transformed in both works, appears in the 'Transformation Scene' from Parsifal when bread and wine are changed into Christ's Body and Blood—the redeeming re-enactment of the Last Supper. This interpretation might not seem too far-fetched if we recall that Franck habitually left his organ bench during the Mass to kneel at this same moment of transformation.
In spite of the internal similarities, the two pieces have significant differences. Where the Prelude, Chorale and Fugue has a distinctly religious flavour, the Prelude, Aria and Finale seems more secular (the Chorale a divine song, the Aria a human one); and where the former work is universal in its message, the latter seems almost domestic, though no less spiritually serious. The Prelude, Chorale and Fugue has a tremendous unity, a feeling of magnetic inevitability which almost pulls it forward to its triumphant close; the Prelude, Aria and Finale is more like a sonata in three separate movements, although the thematic material is profusely and masterfully interconnected throughout the work. The ending, in contrast to that of the Prelude, Chorale and Fugue, is profoundly tranquil and peaceful, the 'motto' theme not so much representing a victory over evil as a healing of pain.

I was surrounded by so many Laker fans at the game tonight it made my skin crawl. Luckily they had nothing to talk about and most of them were chewing out steve blake and mike brown, but of course they praise kobe for every foul shot and said it was the right call. Felt good to see most of them leave with 3minutes left in the game.
I'd guess that at least half the crowd to 60 percent were Lakers fans tonight. Unreal.
I too was surrounded by Lakers fans. Luckily, they were pretty cool and quiet. A few sections over there were annoying ass Lakers fans who kept cheering, "Lets Go Lakers!" Until late in the 4th when they left...
A few thoughts
#1 Tinsley is worthless. He is the new Raja Bell/Harpring. Corbin must be playing Tinsley for his "leadership" and veteran "savy" over Burks...
#2 Jazz have no offensive identity right now. Big Al lacks the explosivness to be a go to person. Marvin, Millsap, and Hayward, just aren't go to guys. Favors and Kanter aren't. We literally only have 2 guys who can create, Mo and Burks. Unfortunately, one is playing while the other is not.
#3 Foye saved us tonight. Lakers were making a run until he stopped them.
#4 If Nash plays, we lose. Blake missed several wide open 3s that Nash would have most likely nailed.
#5 FT disparity... I want to blame some of this on the refs. But I also want to blame it on our own lack of offensive identity. We're in year 3 of this experiment with Jefferson and Millsap and we still have no clue what to expect out of these guys. This is the #1 reason why we lose on the road. Like a solid run game in football, getting to the FT line controls the tempo of the game. Knowing that when you have to have points that you can get to the FT line is huge. We still don't do this. We prefer to shoot jumpers and weezys than cowboy up, take it to the rack, and get to the FT line.
#6 The Lakers are really slow. A big part of it might be age. But the other part is that they have no clue how to play together. The old Lakers team with Odom and Fisher had great chemistry. That's not happening quite yet.
Lakers Suck.
One last thought..
Don't know why he and Favors aren't spoonfed more.
Both need more PT and both need more offensive involvement.
We just flat out don't have offensive identity. Sometimes we try and jam it down other teams' throats with Jefferson. And that strategy sucks. He shoots a poor percentage, doesn't get to the FT line, and rarely passes the ball out.
Sometimes we're a pick and roll team, usually our best option.
Sometimes we try and play like the old Suns by running and gunning and sometimes this works.
We just have no idea what to do offensively other than hope that Mo creates and that guys get open on the perimeter and our bigs rebound their misses. It's bad man, real bad. Corbin is in over his head.
Even without a "franchise player" we need to decide what we want to do. If it's play higher tempo then we need to do so and stop trying to post Big Al up so often. Go small fast ball, take out Big Al, insert Favors at the 5, and roll with Millsap, Hayward, burks/Foye, and Mo and watch that team run and gun.
If it's to run our half court sets then we need to run those sets through matchup advantages and not just posting up Big Al. Take out Tinsley and put in someone like Burks and run the half court offense through him. Burks would have killed Blake tonight... Other times, run the offense through Millsap. Other times, when matchups are in our favor, Hayward. Create mismatches and run the offense through those.
Lakers Suck.
I'm a spurs fan from spurstalk (I signed up during the spurs/jazz playoff round last season). While it's a safe bet that jazz fans and spurs fans probably don't like each other, it's a safer bet that fans of both teams hate prima donna superstar teams like the Lakers even more.
I watched this game and I was actively rooting for the Jazz to win, and I'm glad they delivered. It's unbelievably satisfying to see the privileged class of the NBA (L.A. fans) fail so miserably relative to expectations.
I would imagine it being hard to be a Laker or Yankee fan (legitimately year in and year out) because of the "title or bust" attitude about everything.
Credit to Corbin for finally finding a way to get Burks some real playing time.
"Hayward can be a #1?"......"Maybe if he goes down to Fort Wayne...DLeague" -ESPN
Good to see Enes showing the ability to match-up with Howard. He locked him up good. That was an important test for him after that Bynum match-up. Next game, Howard will be pushing him all over the floor for he has tasted his strength.
David Locke: "Because what happens in this league is, people start shooting threes and they get soft and dont want contact and then they just stay out there all the time. Youre not going to get soft, are you?"Enes Kanter: "I kind of live in the paint, man. Come on. I wont get soft. Dont worry about that."
Well, you've got to give Lupe Fuentes some credit for this win.
Lakers's body language sucks, but that's their problem.

Trip Report - Adirondacks
(subtitle And then it started to rain)
Bill and I were primed and ready for our annual Adirondack Weekend. Since we live in the Hudson valley less than 4 hours from Chapel Pond, were not so far away that this sort of trip should be a big deal. But weekends up north are rare because: 1) weekends are family time for me, 2) Bill isnt particularly fond of getting wet, bug-bitten, or sticking any part of his body into a crack, and 3) the Gunks are close enough to climb after work.
It had been really wet all week prior to our trip, and was still drippy on Thursday night, our planned blast off time. So we surrendered a half day, and drove up Friday morning instead. The weather in Poughkeepsie had cleared nicely overnight, but true to form, the mountains were still socked in as we neared our Northway exit. In fact, it showered briefly on us in those last ten minutes on the highway. Nothing heavy, and the sun was out just as quickly afterward. We ate lunch at the base of the Chapel Pond Slab - our first goal and things were looking good. There was a stream running down the slab, and it formed a pretty little waterfall off the small overhang up high in the middle of the slab. It wouldnt bother us on the Empress route, so I racked up and started up the initial corner.
And then it started to rain. Not too hard though, and since I had some gear in below me, my only concern was stepping around the wet streak rapidly encroaching on my left foot. The shower passed within a minute and Bill followed without any complaints.
With the advantage of his 60 meter rope my second pitch was a bee-line to the hummock belay that normally is the end of the fourth pitch. Thankfully the rope was long enough for this shortcut, as opposed to the last time I tried this, with a shorter rope and a different partner, and we had to simul-climb a little bit for me to reach the belay. Just before this belay I stepped easily across the waterfall stream, which was conveniently confined here to a narrow groove and provided some cool refreshment. The next 5.5 friction pitch had been one of the most desperate pieces of rock Id ever climbed when I first did this route beacoup years ago, in rigid lug-soled Fabiano Black Beauties. In sharp contrast to that nervous day, this time I took an ambitious line directly up the slab (as dictated by the wet streaks) to some gear at half rope and then cruised to the birch trees.
The wide crack pitch that followed was a blast. I hadnt done it in ten years or more, and its amazing that a 50 degree slab (the rib above the crack, in this case) can actually feel exposed. But it does, when youre fifty feet out from gear and the rock drops off behind you AND to both sides. Sitting comfortably at the belay high on the rib, the wind would occasionally blow the waterfall spray onto me, a good hundred feet above and left of the waterfall. One more rope-stretching pitch got us to the woods. As usual, I didnt walk far enough left to catch the descent gully, and we ended up rapping multiple times along the edge of the slab. No problem with that, except we got Bills freshly washed rope all muddy. Our last rap dropped us off slightly uphill from the start, and from there we could see quite a crowd distributed over the lower pitches of the slab.
And then it started to rain. Hard this time. With thunder and that electrical action. We hurried back to the car before we were too soaked, but the folks that had to bail off their climbs came down looking like drowned rats. Our round trip took about 3.5 hours - not very fast, but OK for us slowpokes, and we may have been the only party to summit that day. Once it cleared and wed checked into the Woodruff Motel in Keene, I cajoled Bill into a hike up Owls Head for a look around and some low key crack top roping. The blueberries were in fat, and I stopped several times to grab a handfull. We got the rope set up but before we could do too much, it started to rain (just a wee bit) so we hightailed it off there, not being too fond of getting zapped, should some lightening find its way through the pass.
Bill was really diggin the friction climbing - a welcome break from the typically strenuous climbing at the Gunks - and it took me back to my climbing roots, so the next day we drove to Pok-o-moonshine. Being a Saturday, I figured the slab would be busy, especially the easier routes like Catharsis that we would have our eye on. From the road we could see a big wet spot mid-route, but we could likely manage our way around/through that. A bigger problem was Bills digestive tract, which seemed to have taken a dislike to something he ate for breakfast. Or maybe it was a touch of the flu, since he was feeling weak and light-headed. Strike three was that the skies were threatening again. So we pulled into the campground instead and took a stroll along the base of the main face to kill time and see which would spill liquid first - Bills gut or the sky. BTW, I now know which part of the face above the campground is known as the Waterfall Face, and why. Amazingly, the only other group at the face was a party of two starting up Gamesmanship (a great route). We walked as far as Fastest Gun, picking out routes to do someday.
And then it started to rain. Just a quick shower, and we waited it and a second passing sprinkle out under the slightly overhanging wall. It did confirm, however, that we didnt want to commit to a 4 or 5 pitch route on the slab, so we went to the car to gear up for the one pitch routes on the Nose Apron. Now Im no sport-o climber, but to me, the bolts on Ukiah (5.9) and Homecoming (ditto) look awfully far apart. NOTE: one of these routes was erased by the Thankgiving 98 rockfall. Theres cruxish moves below the first bolt on each of them to boot. Nevertheless, I had the rope up Ukiah and Bill was ready to follow it, when it started to rain. Hard, soaking, downpoury rain. We took refuge under a boulder but the water ran down the roof and landed in my lap anyway. When it let up I pulled my now thirty pound rope and we retreated to the car for some lunch. We had nowhere else to go, so we waited for the sun to come out again, which it did after yet another shower. Finally we dodged a dark cloud and the rock dried enough for us to go back and polish off the rest of the routes we wanted to do. Well, most of them anyway. Im not normally ready to quit until the stars come out, but this time I gave in at dinnertime. It rained some more that evening. Geez, would this weather ever clear out?
Sunday we were going home, so we picked the slabs of Moxham Dome. I had never been there, even when I lived in the North Country, but its easy to find, and easy to approach from the road. I was a little anxious about parking so close to the POSTED signs but we met a local climber as we walked out and it seems the landowner is OK with climbers as long as they dont block his dirt road. The highlight of the day was that IT DIDNT RAIN. I think it still was raining closer to the high peaks, but we were finally out of there, and things were stable and dry overhead. We generally explored the left side of the slab, finding good friction, interesting lines, and lots of wasps, generally in the cracks and pockets where you want to place gear. I cant wait to go back and check out the longer routes in the center and right side of this slab. Moxhams closer to home than the better known ADK crags too, a bonus for future quick get-aways. But I cant imagine coming up here in the dark, as some crazy rec.climbers have done, even knowing (sort of) how best to approach from the road.
Conclusion - we went north seeking a change of pace from our usual cragging, and found a typically Adirondack experience: wet weather, black flies/mosquitos/deer flies, and run out slab routes. In prior years Ive made it a priority to bag some of the classic old routes (e.g. Washbowls Hesitation), but thats too much like our everyday Gunks climbing, cracks and granite notwithstanding. From now on, slabs are going to take center stage on these annual weekends.

Re: Mike Rawdon
well that sounded like an adventure.
anyway i go to school in the dakes. and i found some pretty great slabes and walls of on type or another. i will give you the names but to find them i would recomend a book by Don Mellor called climb in the dacks. or something along thoes lines. well he has personally showen me thoes routs so here are my faves.
the beer walls- they offer all types of climbing from 5-4 slabes - 5-13c cracks or face climbing. (my personal favoret) it is a really smooth fast approch.
next is chapple hill pond-you alread know about that though.
the spyder webb- this has a fun approche. as you are driving from the northway on the way to lake placid you will see this hudge boulder slide on the side of the road, with a cliff above it. great climbing and the approch is fun to hike around on. my favorit rout is "hit by a car".
thoes are my favorit spots if you have any more questions just post them and don't forget about the book

Honda's RVF400 was a pin-up race replica that had sports bike fans dribbling down their paddock jackets in the mid-nineties. The trouble was that Honda never officially brought the NC35 (its 'factory' code name) into the UK, which was a crying shame, although many have found their way here as 'grey' imports. Replacing the VFR400R (NC30), which Honda did officially ...

I love all this progression, i know having it all at once would be "more normal" but i kind of like having "new content" every once in a while, rather than seeing all of it get blown through and then the rest of us getting stuck on x boss or y boss.
Great video! =]

(Buzzard´s Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Buzzard: Blaziken) Buzzard´s Summoning Technique: Blaziken "The Combat Buzzard"
Damage Points: Depends on the user
Description: Blaziken is a guardian of the Queen Storm Skyress. Blaziken Is so far the only Buzzard with a different and smaller mass. It would seem that he is similar to a humanoid type animal and is much smaller than the other buzzards. Its wings aren't fully developed so it cant fly but by pushing against the wind, his speed increases to that of Skyry. Blaziken is a combat specialist aswell as profficient Fire user and can use all fire based attacks and Taijutsu besides forbidden .
*Can only be summoned twice*
*Can only stay on the field for 3 turns*
*Can be forced back if hit by 80 points of damage and in this case cant be summoned again*
*can only be taught by Taiketsu Namikaze to those with Buzzard contract*
*All her techniques are considered one of the three jutsu*
(Raiton: Yoroi of Narukami) Lightning Release: Armor of Narukami
Chakra:40(-10 each turn its maintained)
Damage Points:N/A (+5 to taijutsu and +10 to lightning based jutsu)
Description: The user will cover himself in a shroud of lightning that takes the shape of a Yami (demon). Its more like a cloak similar to a Bijuu in incomplete form. With this armor on, the user builds a sturdy defence to that of being able to withstand B-rank attacks(C-rank if a wind technique and A-rank if Earth technique) and all lightning released from one's body become more powerful as well as only needing one hand seal to perform them.
-Can only be used once
-Last two turns
-Can only use lightning in this armor
-Unable to use lightning based attacks after deactivation
Declined, do not resubmit
(Katon: Kouen Heki) Fire Release: Flame Burst
Damage Points:80 (-15 from heat exhaustion)
Description: The user will chanel fire chakra into his/her sword, causing fire to surround it. After the first step is done, the user will thrust the sword into the ground causing a fire burst to rise up and around the user and comrades, protecting the people from incoming attacks from any direction except above. The fire is hot enough to burn a person who touches it alive.
-Technique is active as long as the sword is in the ground. Once pulled out the technique cancels in seconds
-Usable twice
Link to approved swift bio
(Hayatōn: Mueishō Mahha 2) – Swift Release: Shadowless Flight Mach 2
Rank: S
Type: Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: After making 5 hand seals the user can move at fast speeds through the release of the swift release to the point that there body becomes so distorted that it looks like there are distorted after images of the user when traveling over long distances but in short burst he or she disappears(Simmilar to when Raikage dodged amaterasu but not as fast since the images are distorted) and then strike their opponent at multiple angles. However Dojutsu and sharingan of tomoe 3 is capable of reading the movements and can react to the opponents attacks
Note: Can only be used by a swift user bio.
Note: Can only be used twice due to the strain on the user legs
Note: No more swift techs for 3 turns after usage
Declined do not resubmit
(Hakke: Myaku) 8 Trigrams: Pulse
Chakra:30(+10 for A-rank genjutsu)
Damage Points:30 (if in close-range)
Description: When the user relizes he is under a genjutsu due to being able to see chakra. He will release a burst of chakra through every tenketsu in his body to snap him out of the genjutsu. The burst is strong enough to bounce back incoming things besides justu.
-Can snap out of genjutsu A-rank and below
-Must be a Hyuuga Clan member
-useable 3 times per match
For the 8 trigrams pulse. I wanted a technique that allowed me to get out of genjutsu that doesn't allow me to move. I would also like to ask if it counts as a kai?

Want some wallop with your surround sound? Sunfire's TGR-401 Theater Grand Receiver packs so much punch into one box, you'll think you're hearing audiophile-grade amplifier and processor "separates."
The TGR pumps out 200 watts per channel and allows for amplified stereo playback and optional touchpad control of a second zone. It marries tank-like construction with more aesthetic flash than typical receivers (the silver aluminum accent and blue LED status lights are particular eye-catchers). And at $4,000, you're at the high end of the A/V receiver category, but you're also in the stratosphere of build quality and performance.
Connections are plentiful—there are even options concealed on the front panel—although they aren't preassigned. You can use the remote control to assign the ports. You can also scroll through options on the receiver's display, but navigating the menu may be more comfortable on a TV screen. (I connected via S-video.)
I simplified the frequency and tonal setting options by leaving equalization flat but adjusting speaker sizes to "small" and manually inputting their distances to the sweet-spot listening position. Then I let the auto equalization tool go to work, as I placed the microphone and had the receiver run its four minutes of pink noise testing to optimize the speakers to the room conditions.
Listening through Sunfire's HRS bookshelf speakers and subwoofer, the TGR provided a wide soundstage and a solid, dynamic sound. Concert DVDs such as The Eagles' Hell Freezes Over rang lifelike and intimate, while the receiver sizzled through a range of two-channel classic rock, jam, vocal and jazz recordings.
Midrange and bass frequencies shined more than the highs, and my main impression was that the TGR lived for jazz and other instrumentals—Sonny Rollins' Road Show live release stood out with depth, punch and tone.
The TGR lacks decoding for the lossless audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio available on high-def Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. You'll have to let your Blu-ray or HD DVD player handle the decoding, and make sure it has analog outputs to connect to the receiver's 7.1-channel inputs.
I popped in several DVDs to hear standard film Dolby Digital and DTS surround mixes.
Action sequences from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King offered immersive, clear audio that juggled details like galloping horses and firing weapons. I found Boogie Nights helpful in hearing the receiver effectively blend center-channel dialogue with constant background music, rather than having tunes drown out the chatter. The classic opening scene to Raiders of the Lost Ark really tested the rear speakers, with the jungle sounds and rolling boulder providing more than the necessary adrenaline rush.
As fun as the bookshelf speakers were, the receiver simply yearned for heftier mates—and that gave me an excuse to break out my aging Marantz cabinet speakers for a frame of reference.
The TGR breathed a life and crispness into that pair not experienced with five previous receivers. Arturo Sandoval's Trumpet Evolution soared, and on other CDs the drums snapped, piano keys hammered and acoustic guitar strings resonated deeply.
Even background vocals rang more distinctly. When a new component heightens the anticipation of re-hearing CDs you've listened to hundreds of times, you know the job is well done.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
