John Hollinger (3:09 PM)
Greetings from Orlando everyone -- I'm here for tonight's Magic-Cavs game. Plenty to talk about, let's get started.
Brandon (Gainesville, FL)
What are your thoughts of Gallinari first couple games of action? I know its early, but despite looking quite rigid, he shows a great stroke, and good feel for the game.
John Hollinger (3:09 PM)
Pretty much sums up my impression as well. Gallinari's translated numbers from Europe were pretty good so I expect he'll be better than Tim Thomas almost immediately.
Daniel (Lawrence, KS)
As of today, the Timberwolves are going to have an enormous amount of cap room in 2010. Any chance they can land one or two quality players to play alongside Jefferson?
John Hollinger (3:12 PM)
Look, when it comes to cap space the NBA is a two-tiered system. The first tier is teams like Miami, LA and Phoenix who have great weather and lots of night life and can get a player in free agency even if another team offers just as much. Minnesota is pretty much at the other end of that spectrum, thanks to the frigid winters ... so you can't count on free agency unless you're willing to grossly overpay somebody. So a better option for Minny is to use that cap space in trades and try to build the team that way ... it's harder, but it can be done.
Johnny (Glendale)
Do you think Andrew Bynum should be suspended for the hit on Wallace. Clearly to me it looked like it was an accident.
John Hollinger (3:13 PM)
the NBA tends to make its rulings based on what happened afterward, which to me is completely upside-down, but based on what happened to Wallace I do expect a one-game suspension.
Geoff (DC)
What are your thoughts on the many guys playing minutes for the Wizards who we would not normally ever expect to see? Which of the players do you think are viable rotation options on a good team (which we hope to miraculously have next year) and which are playing their way out of the league?
John Hollinger (3:16 PM)
Blatche and McGee are the keepers. Young is a decent sixth man but still has a lot of rough edges that need sanding down. Can't think of anyone else I'd expect to still be there in two years
Bill (OH)
Seeing as to how Brad Miller is on the trading block, shouldn't he act a little more interested to boost his value? He seems to just not care...
John Hollinger (3:17 PM)
Of course he cares ... he cares so much that he spends every fifth possession glaring at the refs over some imaginary foul he thought happened rather than running back on defense.
Ryan Charlotte nc
John a one-game suspension would be light.One thing sure one-game suspension or not Andrew Bynum is not a welcome man in Charlotte nc
John Hollinger (3:18 PM)
I'm sure he'll be terrified when all 12 Bobcat fans gang up on him next time he visits.
Scott (Santa Barbara, CA)
The Clippers seem to be done making moves this year. Can a team of Baron, Gordon, Thornton, Randolph, Camby, Kaman, Jordan, along with a MLE, and a 1st rounder win next year?
John Hollinger (3:19 PM)
Well this year's draft isn't supposed to be a good one, so I don't know if the Clips will get much of a savior out of it. Certainly the team looks good on paper, especially if they can get a veteran wing and a backup PG .. but you have to question Dunleavy's ability to pull it off given his track record.
Collin (Syracuse)
Do you see the Bucks making a trade to fill Redds void, and do you still think that they can make the playoffs
John Hollinger (3:21 PM)
I think it's very important for them to make the playoffs, just to try to build back some fan support after a few tough seasons. I still think they can get there if Bogut comes back and doesn't miss any more time, but a trade is tough to see just because they don't have much in the way of assets -- about the only chip they have to play is Alexander, and it's not like he'll bring back a star.
Akim (Washington DC)
I bet Roger Mason would look good in a Wizards uniform right now, instead of watching Mike james chuck up 3 pointer after 3 pointer. What was Ernie thinking? Mason wasnt asking for much either.
John Hollinger (3:23 PM)
Unfortunately he'd already committed a full midlevel deal to Daniels and didn't want to be spending $10 million on his backcourt backups ... You can criticize a lot about Ernie but if Arenas had come back we would be spending zero time discussing Mason. The far greater crime was resigning Jamison and Arenas at big dollars when the Wiz had middling results with that core.
Jason (Dayton)
John, love the chats. #2 and #3 in your power rankings face off tonight. I assume you like the Magic at home?
John Hollinger (3:24 PM)
Less than I like almost any other team at home -- Orlando has been a strong road team and a weak home team under Stan. Be very interested to see how Pietrus does against LeBron, however.
Mideon, SF
Yo John! You are the best chatter in ESPN history...10 times better than that clown Simmons! Quick question: with Michael Redd out of the equation, who do you see the Cavs targeting with Wally's contract at the deadline? It seems like Redd would have been the best fit...do they make a run at someone like Vinsanity now?
John Hollinger (3:25 PM)
Flattery will get you everywhere. Unfortunately, I lose my fastball after an hour or so while Bill can seemingly go for half a day ... as far as your question, Redd was never in play so it doesn't alter the Cavs' plans much. Cavs are still in circling-shark mode hoping somebody crazy good becomes available, and so they'll bide their team with the Wally contract.
Tell me there's hope for the Jazz this year?
John Hollinger (3:27 PM)
Of course there is. But I saw just before this chat that AK is getting ankle surgery, so I'm not sure if he'll be back before April. I'll say this -- if I'm the Lakers, and Utah has Boozer and Kirilenko and all their other guys, they scare me more than other team in that conference.
Joe (Davis)
John, finish this sentence... "The worst possible thing the Warriors can do right now is..."
John Hollinger (3:28 PM)
allow Rowell to keep calling the shots.
Mark (Winston-Salem, NC)
John, I know that the college game isn't your specialty, but have you seen Wake Forest play much this year? Can't help but thinking that James Johnson is way under-rated -- he seems to have many of the best attributes of Marion and Pippen. What are your thoughts on his potential? Thanks!
John Hollinger (3:29 PM)
I talked to some scouts who have seen Wake and are high on all three guys -- Teague, Johnson and Aminu. I only saw a few minutes of the Duke game last night so I'm not really qualified to pontificate just yet, but let's just say I'll be watching these guys very closely in the tournament.
Mike (Portland, OR)
What do you think about Oden's recent play. (16-11) over the last 5 games, and he abused Okafor last night. If he keeps this up is he going to get some mention for ROY?
John Hollinger (3:30 PM)
Oden has stepped it up of late, which is great news for the Blazers, but ROY is so heavily dependent on minutes that I don't think he's going to surpass Mayo and Rose ... even though I think he's the best player of the three at the moment.
Reno (DC)
You don't expect Dominic McGuire to stick around with the Wiz? The guy can't score yet, but he does everything else very well.
John Hollinger (3:31 PM)
He has a future as a defense-and-energy guy off the bench, I'll agree, but that's about the extent of it for me.
mendel (fl)
the heat are currently 6 over .500 and have a favorable 2nd half schedule. if riley makes a move for a big and this team finished with 50+ wins how does wade not win the mvp?
John Hollinger (3:32 PM)
Agree that Wade has to be in the MVP discussion if they win 50+. Disagree that their schedule is favorable the rest of the way -- Playoff Odds have them closing 20-18 despite a pretty strong power ranking. As you say, Riles would probably have to make a move for a big for them to get 25 more wins.
Matt (Philadelphia, PA)
How about Maurice Speights not getting any love in the Rookie game even though he always seems near the lead in your rookie rankings in PER?
John Hollinger (3:34 PM)
I expected it, and I can at least understand it -- he hasn't played many minutes so you can argue he hasn't made the same impact as the others, even though per minute he's been more productive. Also, he has some problems on D that don't help his case.
Nick (NJ)
Would Utah go for Boozer/Brewer for VC? Nets could even throw in a 1st next year (they have 2).
John Hollinger (3:36 PM)
I'd love to see the Jazz try something like that, but the problem is going to be the luxury tax considerations that they'll hit in the offseason. I think they'd think about it a lot harder if they were second in the West rather than in their current position.
Jon (NY)
Who do you think will grab the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference
John Hollinger (3:37 PM)
I say Toronto. They look MUCH better with a healthy Calderon, and if they can get something for O'Neal that will give them another boost. Charlotte has a ton of road games and just lost Wallace, Indy has Granger's knee hurting, Milwaukee just lost Redd ... so Raps have the advantage right now.
Jeff (Ohio)
I'm sick of hearing all this Wade for MVP crap because he's on a crappy team that might win 50. LeBron did that 3 times with Cavs teams far worse than the current Heat team and has nothing to show for it. This is LeBron's time. He should have at least 2 MVP's; can't take this one away.
John Hollinger (3:38 PM)
To be fair, I argued for LeBron as MVP in both 2006 and 2008, so it would be perfectly consistent for me to consider Wade this season. As it is, LeBron is at the top of my ballot today ... but one can't deny that Wade has made himself a candidate.
Stu (Philly)
You were incredibly critical of Jeff Green last year and this offseason, has his play this year changed your tune on him?
John Hollinger (3:40 PM)
He's improved quite a bit, yes; I'd still rather have Thaddeus Young, but of the players most had rated at or near the No. 5 spot, he's been far better than the other choices (Yi, Brewer, Wright, Noah)
HT, Houston
John, how much chance do you give Lebron or Paul of breaking MJ's PER record this year?
John Hollinger (3:41 PM)
I think LeBron has a decent shot, much moreso than Paul. I'd put both of them well south of 50% though ... keeping up this kind of pace for another half-season is a pretty daunting obstacle.
Jeff Miami
Rockie and Sophomore selections should be similar to MVPs selections. Daequan Cook (playing defense shooting >42% 3pt and making over 100 3 pointers) and Mario Chalmers have had a higher impact in the W/L column that Brooks/Chandler/ etc
John Hollinger (3:42 PM)
Sorry, Cook had no business being on the sophs team. Well, he's been better than Aaron Brooks, so I shouldn't say no business ... but realistically he's about 12th to 15th on the list. Chalmers I feel bad for because any other year he would have been a shoo-in -- there were just too many quality rookies this year.
Jose ( Newyork)
what about the knicks being considered for an 8th seed.
John Hollinger (3:43 PM)
Knicks are in the mix, but that's mostly because everybody else has sunk to their level. Nothing Knicks have done tells me they're on anything except a 35-win trajectory, and I think the Raps will end up over 40.
Matt (PA)
So who are your predicted biggest All-Star snubs?
John Hollinger (3:45 PM)
Vince Carter. People just can't bring themselves to write down two names from an under .500 team, no matter how obvious it is that they're two of the best 12 players. Funny thing is that if the Nets were 23-23 instead of 20-26 nobody would have any problem doing it ... and the difference between those two records just isn't that great.
Zac (MN)
How about Kevin Love not making it?
John Hollinger (3:46 PM)
Egregious, embarrassing oversight by the league's assistant coaches. I think Thorpe might have nailed it yesterday, that they developed an impression of him in the opening weeks -- when he really wasn't playing well -- and then failed to adjust it once he started playing much better.
I know you are a numbers guy, but I've watched the majority of all Heat games this year and on most nights, Cook is the second best player on team.
John Hollinger (3:47 PM)
Dwyane Wade would like to thank you for making his MVP argument more eloquently than he possible could have.
Jmerms (NYC)
Do you think David Lee should be a reserve on the All Star team?
John Hollinger (3:47 PM)
Absolutely not. He's been good, but not quite in the class of the East's top 12 (OK, top 11 and Allen Iverson). Even if you wanted a true center on the team, I'd take Okafor ahead of Lee.
Alright forget this basketball stuff.... you do got in the Superbowl?
John Hollinger (3:48 PM)
As I said last week, I'd love to see Zona win but I think Pittsburgh crushes. Incidentally, a lot of folks flying with me today where wearing Pittsburgh regalia -- guess they found it cheaper to fly here and drive to Tampa.
Dixon (Salina, UT)
Do you think Paul Millsap should be a reserve on the All Star team?
John Hollinger (3:50 PM)
I do, but I doubt he'll make it. I suspect Shaq and Al Jefferson both will get in by splitting the center vote, even if no coach votes two centers -- it's happened before.
Mo Williams (Cleveland, Oh)
What about me John? Am I making it?
John Hollinger (3:50 PM)
I think he may slip in. I don't think he has any business going, but I suspect Rondo and Allen will split the third Celtic vote and that will allow Williams to knife in there.
Chris (Los Angeles)
Love your stuff John! Science in fandom... What do you make of Al Thornton's game? I think he's a "chucker" and is not interested in anything but points. You, sir?
John Hollinger (3:52 PM)
I can't say what he's interested in, but I can say that he's one of the league's most one-dimensional players. He has tremendous physical skills but routinely makes horrid decisions at both ends of the floor.
Pau Gasol
Will I get in, John? How about my boy, Andrew?
John Hollinger (3:53 PM)
Pau, definitely, yes. Bynum, almost certainly not-- Shaq and Jefferson will get all the center votes.
Karl sacramento
Beno Udrih= worst starting pg in the league, is bobby brown any better? if so why isnt he playing more
John Hollinger (3:54 PM)
Sebastian Telfair takes offense to that comment. As far as Brown vs. Udrih, I'd still rather have Udrih running the show for now ... but he has to regain some of last year's mojo to justify anything close to what he's making. It's one of the few real mistakes Geoff Petrie has made.
Matt: (Cottage Grove, MN)
If Big Al doesn't get voted into the all star game, along with Kevin Love's snub of the rookie game, i will be very disappointed in the coaches
John Hollinger (3:56 PM)
you should be. Not being on national TV is an OK excuse for the fans, and even the writers and announcers (many of whom spend much of the year in hotels with no league pass), but the coaches are really supposed to know better.
Richard (Ny)
theres no way moon or landry should be in the rookie/soph. game over wilson chandler. he's played a bigger role in his teams success and is probably one of the top 5 sophs. right now
John Hollinger (3:57 PM)
I missed the part where the Knicks were considered successful. Has Isiah lowered the bar that much? Chandler was a nice going away present from Zeke and because he's so young will likely be a good player in time, but right now he's a backup caliber player being pressed into a starting role.
Monty (NJ)
Why should all-star level players be penalized for the inability of some GM's to put together good teams? A player like Danny Granger is working just as hard as Kevin Garnett. Except Garnett has great talent all around him.
John Hollinger (3:58 PM)
Exactly. Chris Webber KILLED Kenny Smith with this argument last Thursday, and I couldn't have been happier because I've been trying to make this point year after year after year.
Mike (Canada)
Over the last two games, Eddie House has played 44 minutes, shotting 15-20 threes and has racked up 51 points despite everyone knowing all he can do is shoot 3s. How could he not be in the 3 point contest?
John Hollinger (4:00 PM)
Since I've never quite understood what the criteria is for that thing (Michael Redd has never been invited, but Antoine Walker has?) I can't really hazard a guess as to whether he'll be included or not. All I know is you'll see Jason Kapono attempt more 3s on All-Star Saturday than he does the entire month of March.
Tim (Provo, UT)
Do you think the Nuggets have a great chance of winning the Northwest? And can we see them winning 58 games?
John Hollinger (4:02 PM)
58 implies a 28-8 finish -- sorry, not buying that. But winning the Northwest? It's sitting out for them on a silver platter now that Utah has even more injury problems to deal with. Portland isn't going away either, of course, but this is the Nuggies' division to lose.
Nimesh Patel (Orlando)
More likely to be in the all-star game Rashard Lewis or Jameer Nelson??
John Hollinger (4:04 PM)
Jameer Nelson, easily. He's an automatic to me -- he, Chris Bosh, Devin Harris, Danny Granger, and Paul Pierce are pretty much locks. It's the last two spots that are the question marks. I'm guessing they go to Mo Williams and Joe Johnson, but there a lot of different ways they can go there.
Gerardo (Mexico)
John, what are some of your favorite NBA venues to watch games?
John Hollinger (4:06 PM)
Boston and Portland have the best crowds ... New Orleans is great too and gives the press great seats ... those would probably be at or near the top. MSG would have to be up there as well.
Lyell (Chicago)
You wanna talk about a 3-Point Shootout snub? Ben Gordon has never had a season where he's shot below 40% from 3-Point, yet he hasn't been in the 3-Point contest yet. His stroke is the definition of pure.
John Hollinger (4:06 PM)
exactly .. but the league just couldn't have a 3-point contest without Damon Jones in it.
Mike (Toledo)
So Mr. Hollinger, had he not been injured, would you have gone with Big Z as the second Cav in the All-Star game?
John Hollinger (4:07 PM)
Absolutely. And, if logic tells you that you wouldn't even consider taking Mo Wililams if Z were healthy, then you have to ask yourself ...
Bryant (Orlando)
You heading out on the town after the game?
John Hollinger (4:08 PM)
It's been suggested to me that I write a story instead.
Tony (San Antonio)
Your three point shootout participants?
John Hollinger (4:11 PM)
Kapono, Peja, Danny Granger, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, Ben Gordon.
Kyle (Atlanta)
JH...... The Hawks are really starting to scare me. Do you see them making a move at the trade deadline for a impact player?
John Hollinger (4:12 PM)
With what? Hawks lack the assets to make a move -- unless you think Acie Law and Solomon Jones can bring back difference-making talent in return.
Terry (Madison)
Is KG still better than Al Jefferson? I think if I had the choice I would take big Al right now
John Hollinger (4:13 PM)
I think somebody's got his Pooh Richardson throwback jersey on a little too tight.
Stevie (Brooklyn)
I was at the Nets game last night and they started chanting "Fire Lawrence." I even joined in (playing Boone in the 4th and Harris taking the last shot instead of VC are not smart decisions). Just wondering what your opinion of him (Frank) is.
John Hollinger (4:14 PM)
Frank is as well-prepared as any coach in the league and has the Nets achieving far more than many expected -- partly because he suited the team to Harris's talents. As far the last shot last night, Harris had a mismatch on Graham and got a wide open 15-footer. You live with that.
Jason Richardson
I'm leading the league in 3 pt percentage AND I'm based in Phoenix, jerk.
John Hollinger (4:15 PM)
Actually you're 36th, but J-Rich did lead the league in 3-point makes last year and, as you point out, he's local. Wouldn't be a bad choice.
Kyle Tampa
I've watched some cavs game and am wondering how terrence kinsey doesnt get more mins? everytime i see him play he looks good
John Hollinger (4:16 PM)
I've always liked Kinsey and think he can be more effective than Pavlovic, but it's tough getting established when you play the same position as LeBron James and another guy with a long-term contract.
kidquick10 (Charlotte, NC)
John, last time I looked the Sixers are better than the Nets. Do you think that "DALA" will get on the reserves?
John Hollinger (4:17 PM)
I don't, he started the year too slow and his numbers still pale beside guys like Granger, Bosh and Harris.
Drew Bronx New York
any trade news with the knicks?
John Hollinger (4:18 PM)
much smoke, little fire. As per usual.
NuWarriors [San Jose, CA]
Anthony Morrow is leading the league in 3 pt%. Kid has a great stroke and SHOULD be selected... but he won't. Fair?
John Hollinger (4:20 PM)
Too small a sample to reward him just yet. Yes, he's leading the league, but it's on only 81 attempts. If he goes 0-for-5 tomorrow then suddenly he's fourth and has no case.
Roger Mason Jr
How do I not get selected to the 3pt? Im shooting 46% and average 2.2 per
John Hollinger (4:21 PM)
Mason would be a strong candidate, yes. And, of course, the UVA contingent at ESPN.com would be cheering him wildly.
John (Mpls.)
John, do you think the T-Wolves are in danger of forfeiting their pick to the Clippers this year? That means finishing 10th worst, right? And anybody they could get for Mike Miller?
John Hollinger (4:24 PM)
Minnesota's pick is top 10 protected, which means we may once again see some, er, 'strategic" roster moves by the T'wolves come April (does the phrase "Mark Madsen 3-point derby" ring any bells?). Ideally they'd forfeit the pick in a year or two when they've moved somewhere around .500 or better -- a trajectory they're seemingly heading toward.
Do you really thing we will only go 21-17 from here on out? Are't we known for being a strong second half team?
John Hollinger (4:25 PM)
Spurs' history doesn't factor into the Playoff Odds. What does factor in is a brutal second-half schedule -- which was the reason the Spurs didn't see any second-half ascent a year ago. Maybe they'll do better than 21-17, but it's going to be tough for San Anto to churn out a ton of victories when they have so many road games against good teams.
Matt (Fort Collins)
Your fastball hangin in there?
John Hollinger (4:26 PM)
Starting to lose a few MPH .. I think I better make the call to the bullpen before my ERA takes a beating.
John Hollinger (4:27 PM)
Folks, that's all the time I have but I'll be back here at the same time in two weeks. Thanks again for all the great questions and check back in for my report on the Magic-Cavs game tonight.

Note: I refuse to count online play, there will always be issues like the servers becoming totally deserted the second the new one is released, if you can connect to them at all and so on.

Surely they still wont be actively stocked?

A City Council bill that would prohibit small family-run day cares in certain neighborhoods is expected to be watered down when it comes up before council next week.
The bill, in its current form, would prohibit "group day cares," which are usually based in a house and capped at 12 children, from existing in most residential zones throughout the city.
Following a somewhat contentious Council Rules Committee hearing Thursday, Councilman Brian O'Neill, the bill's sponsor, agreed to amend the bill so that a small percentage of zoning designations would be affected. The bill was voted favorably out of committee and will be amended during first reading next week.
Claudia Vargas @InqCVargas
It's been six weeks since Mayor Nutter announced the creation of a new administrative positive: Chief Safety Officer.
At that same news conference on Sep. 25, Nutter said he would create an implementation committee to look into a special report on the city's Department of Licensing and Inspections. That committee is supposed to file its results to the mayor by Dec. 31.
However, no one has yet been named to the committee and the administration hasn't even said how it will go about hiring the new chief safety officer.
Claudia Vargas @InqCVargas
So, about that mayor's race....
While the focus Tuesday was still on the final stretch of the Governor's race, the political chatter included some discussion on the next big election: the 2015 mayor's race.
The politicians and operatives who stopped by the Famous Fourth Street Deli — the traditional lunch spot for the city's movers and shakers on Election Day — chimed in on the suspected mayoral candidates and the issues that could drive the race.

After a five-year hiatus, the city's leaf collectors will be back in action.
Starting next Monday, the Philadelphia Streets Department will resume weekly leaf curbside pick-up, a program that was stopped after the 2008 fall season due to budget cuts.
However, the reincarnation of the program will be slightly different. Bagged leafs will no longer be picked up, only piles of leaves.
Claudia Vargas @InqCVargas
City Council, having already blocked the proposed deal to sell Philadelphia Gas Works, on Thursday offered its own resolution.
Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco - who chairs the body that oversees PGW, the Philadelphia Gas Commission — introduced a resolution Thursday to hold hearings to discuss the future of Philadelphia as an energy hub.The resolution was approved unanimously.
The hearings will be a substitute for what the Nutter administration was really pushing for — a bill to hold hearings on the proposed sale of PGW.
Claudia Vargas @InqCVargas
Yet another task force is being proposed to deal with the city's crumbling infrastructure.
City Council's Committee on Licenses and Inspections moved forward Thursday with a bill that would create a Vacant Property Task Force comprised of various city agencies to catalog and inspect large vacant commercial properties.
The task force -- an idea that arose from the fatal fire of a vacant Kensington warehouse in 2012 that killed two firefighters -- would focus on the estimated 400 large vacant and commercial scattered throughout the city.

Philadelphia government watchdog group Committee of Seventy has named its new leader.
David B. Thornburgh, executive director of the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania, will be taking the helm in December, the committee announced Wednesday. Thornburgh is replacing Zack Stalberg who retired in July.
"David checked all of the boxes we were looking for in a CEO," Stephen S. Tang, Seventy's search committee chair, said. "But above and beyond that, the Committee was struck by his interest and passion for civic engagement and better government as well as his experience improving the economic competitiveness and public sector performance of Philadelphia and the region."
Claudia Vargas @InqCVargas
City Council approved Thursday to extend a job creation tax credit for businesses that hire and pay new employees at least $12 an hour.
The Living Wage Job Creation Tax Credit Bill, sponsored by Councilman Wilson Goode Jr. and unanimously approved by Council, extends a $5,000 tax break from one year to five years.
For every new full-time job created, in which the employee is paid at least 150 percent of the federal minimum wage or $12 an hour (whichever is higher), businesses would receive a $5,000 credit each year for five years. The extension could provide businesses up to $25,000 tax break per employee during a five year period.

The 2014 GP100 – The 100 Greatest Products on EarthVIZIO P Series 4k TV 4k for the Masses - It's a common refrain: give any technology long enough, and it'll become affordable for the masses. But 4K felt like it might follow a similar trajectory as OLED — in other words, never truly affordable. But just in time for the holidays, VIZIO has somehow managed to work its patented magic once more: the company known for living on the margin and putting every other television maker on notice is now shipping 4K sets for as low as $999. In other words, watching the next Super Bowl on a 4K screen is suddenly feasible. As a matter of comparison, most everyone else (Toshiba, Sony, Samsung, etc.) has 4K 50-inch starter sets at $1,400 and up. VIZIO's cost of entry is on an entirely different level.

There's still not a lot of 4K content available, but the set supports streaming options from Netflix and Amazon. And its picture quality with"regular" HD images is superb.

Pastelitos de Carne for the Dia de Los Difuntos in El Salvador By Alicia Maher
Today is Dia de Los Difuntos in El Salvador. Is a day to remember our dead ancestors. Millions of people across the country flock to the cemeteries, with flowers in hand, to visit the tomb of their dear ones. Food vendors set up booths outside the cemeteries to sell all sorts of traditional fare to feed the hungry and tired visitors. This recipe is one of the dishes you find at these booths. These pastelitos or Salvadoran empanadas taste so good, they are hot and crunchy and perfect to hold with your hands. Enjoy
Recipes below are from my cookbook Delicious El Salvador.
Salvadoran Empanadas
Pastelitos de Carne
These crispy and delectable Salvadoran empanadas are filled with minced meat and vegetables. In El Salvador they are served as an afternoon snack, but they also make great appetizers for parties. To save time, cook the fillings and assemble the empanadas the day before. You can refrigerate them overnight in a covered container before frying them.
Serves 4-6 (2-3 per person)
1 cup instant corn masa flour
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons water (7 ounces)
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
1 teaspoon ground annatto seeds
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cooled Minced Pork and Vegetables (Recipe below)
1½ cups vegetable oil
1 cup Pickled Cabbage, Onions, and Carrots (Recipe below)
Place the corn masa flour in a shallow bowl. Mix in the water, chicken bouillon, ground annatto, and salt. Knead by hand for about 5 minutes until the dough is moist and fluffy. If needed, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide the dough into 12 equal small balls. The dough can be prepared the day before, if covered and refrigerated.
With wet hands, press and pat each ball between your palms and flatten into thin dough rounds that are about 3 inches in diameter. Place the flattened rounds on top of plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from sticking to any solid surface.
In the center of each dough round, place about ½ to 1 tablespoon of the Minced Pork and Vegetable filling, then fold the dough over the fillings into a crescent. Seal the edges with your fingertips or the tines of a fork.
In a medium saucepan heat the oil over a medium to high flame until very hot or 360ºF if using a frying thermometer. Fry the empanadas until golden brown. Serve with a side of Pickled Cabbage and Carrots.
Minced Pork and Vegetables
Picadillo de Cerdo con Verduras
This is a very tasty and versatile dish. The finely diced meat and vegetables provide a wonderful texture and are very pleasing to the palate. This is the recipe for the filling used in Salvadoran Empanadas. The pork can be substituted with boneless chicken thighs. This recipe can also be served as a side dish.
Use as filling for Salvadoran Empanadas
or Serves 4-6
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, fat trimmed, cut into 2- to 3-inch chunks
6 cups water
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup minced tomato, seeds removed
½ cup finely diced potatoes
½ cup finely diced carrots
½ cup peeled, pitted, and finely diced chayote
½ cup thinly sliced fresh green beans
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Rinse the pork in cold water.
In a deep pot, combine the pork, water, bay leaf, and salt over high heat. Bring everything to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Skim the foam from the top; repeat as necessary. Cover the pot and cook for about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. Uncover and cook for 10 more minutes. Remove the meat from the pot and let it rest on a chopping board for 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, and reserve 1 cup of broth. Finely dice the pork and set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and tomato, and sauté for 1 minute; then add the potatoes, carrots, chayote, green beans, and broth. Combine and bring to a quick boil, reduce the flame to low, cover, and cook all the vegetables for about 10 minutes or until tender. Add the meat and pepper and stir together. Correct the salt.
Remove from heat and let it cool before using as a filling for the empanadas, or serve hot as a side dish.
Pickled Cabbage, Onions, and Carrots
This recipe is a must when serving Pupusas, Crispy Fried Yuca and Pork, or Empanadas. The sour-pickled flavor of the cabbage, onions, and carrots is a perfect complement to savory foods.
Serves 6
2 cups shredded green cabbage
½ cup shredded carrots
½ cup thinly sliced onion
4 cups white vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns (optional)
1 teaspoon dried chili flakes or 1 Serrano pepper, finely chopped (optional)

Of the many Honeycomb tablets currently on the market, we don't often talk about the Lenovo IdeaPad K1. That doesn't mean it's a bad product -- Lenovo is one of the best names in the business, and If you want to pick up the Honeycomb-powered IdeaPad K1, this is the time to do it. For a limited time, if you grab the K1 and use the coupon code K1KEYFREE at checkout, you'll receive the keyboard dock for absolutely free.
While Netflix has had support (whether legit or not) for Android tablets for quite a while, there is one thing that can definitely be said about it: the interface was crap. Sure, it worked out great on the phone, but a lot of valuable screen real estate and key components of Android 3.1+ were going to waste on tablets. I guess the Netflix team realized this, because an update has been pushed to the tablet interface that fixes most of the aforementioned issues.
Thrive owners, grab your slate and start checking for updates -- Android 3.2 is now available. The bump in Android version is the nuts-and-bolts of this update, along with improved screen rotation speed.
The changelog also notes that the YouTube and Android Market widgets may disappear after installing the update due to "a change in the application naming convention," but they can simply be added back.
So, hit the update app, cross your fingers, and hope it all works out better for the Thrive than it did the Galaxy Tab 10.1
[via Android Central]
So, yesterday's Thrive deal didn't get the price low enough for you? No worries, Groupon has a deal going where you can grab the 16GB version of the Thrive for $299 + $10 shipping for the next two days.
Update 11/15/11: The 16GB Toshiba Thrive is now $299 + free shipping, this time at Newegg.
Like most other 10-inch Android tablets, the Thrive is packing a 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, and Android Honeycomb.
Update: We're getting reports that this should be rolling out in full-force now. Anyone get theirs today?
Update 2: We're hearing that a lot of people are still without the update, so we pinged HTC to make sure everything is rolling as planned. Everything is right on schedule, so just sit tight -- it should be hitting your device anytime now.
Update 3: After months of silence, it seems the beast has awoken, and the update is rolling out yet again, with the same version number 4.06.605.3.
If there's one thing we love more than tower defense games, it's tower defense games that take a new angle or offer a different style of gameplay. That's exactly what we got out of the recently-released title Defenders, which lets you take on a more active role in your defense strategy. Check it out:
The game looks easy to pick-up-and-play, with ultra-simple controls: touch the screen to shoot arrows, drag and drop spell icons to cast.
Plan on kicking your current carrier to the curb so you can switch to Big Red and grab the LTE-packin' HTC Rezound? Want to save yourself a hundred bucks in the process? If so, head on over to Amazon Wireless, where you can snag the Rezound for $200 ($229 for existing customers looking to upgrade). Yeah, that's a pretty nice savings, and it definitely beats walking into VZW and dropping three full Benjamins.
If you're just dying to get some of AT&T's LTE action packed in tablet without having to mortgage your house, then Samsung may just be your new best friend. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 is coming to Ma Bell on November 20 for an on-contract price of $480, and if you pick one up early on, you can score a free Galaxy S II Skyrocket or Galaxy S II. The inclusion of the phone requires a two-year agreement, but if you're already signing a couple of years away on the tablet contract, you might as well go ahead and score a free beastly phone while you're at it.
The YouTube app just received an update to bring a few new features, including a +1 button, "watch later" queue, and the ability to upload while editing video info, along with one unexpected issue. The app description now says it's for Android 2.2-2.3.3, and, as a result, isn't showing up on devices running other versions, including Honeycomb tablets. Despite this, I was able to pull the update on my Incredible running CM7 (Android 2.3.7), although Artem couldn't even see YouTube in the Market on his stock rooted Epic 4G Touch (Android 2.3.4).
In order to remain competitive, Sprint is constantly tweaking its data plans for non-smartphone devices like tablets, mobile hotspots, and laptops. The most recent update to the plans came today, which offers an increase in bandwidth, as well as a drop in price -- always a good combination.
Beginning immediately, The Now Network will be offering 6GB of data for $49.99 and 12GB for $79.99; if that's too much bandwidth for you, though, there is a 1GB option (tablets only) for $19.99, as well as a 3GB plan (tablets and mobile hotspots only) for $34.99.

Question & Answers
How do you build up courage?
How do you build up courage? It says I need more courage before I can build another house.
Answer from: suziq
You place "decor" items to get courage.
Answer from: amac68
Also what I've done is put 4 houses in inventory, then buy/build a new house and then place the houses from inventory back where they were and there you go. Of course your courage (smiley face above exp points bar) will be lowered and the smiley face will be blue and frowning but I've got 20/16 houses, meaning I've got 4 more houses than I should have but that's how I did it. Hope this helps.

Save 25% on your purchase at TryAboutTime.com, and help us help Felix!
A shameless request: if you purchase protein products (powder, granola, fruit bars, etc.), PLEASE consider purchasing from TryAboutTime.com with my custom coupon code, INJENNSBAG. You will save 25% with this coupon code, and I'll earn a commission from your purchase. Or, if you know someone who purchases protein products, share this with them! There is no expiration date or any conditions attached to the coupon code – it will work for any purchase.
Why I'm requesting: We're facing a pretty big vet bill for Felix. As if having FIV isn't enough, today he required emergency surgical treatment for a complete urinary blockage – without the surgery he would die a painful death from sepsis. The final bill is to be determined by Felix's recovery (and if the vet has to go back to do a more "invasive" surgery that would involve widening Felix's urethra), but the estimate is anywhere from $900 to $1,400.
Thank you so much from Dan and I – and Felix, too! ♥
A morning in the ER, an afternoon in the vet's office
I went to bed early last night, figuring it'd be awesome to be nicely rested for a busy working Monday. Instead, I was nicely rested to take Alyssa to Urgent Care, who then bounced us to the ER since her chief complaint was ongoing abdominal pain (over twelve hours at this point) ranging from a 5 to a 7 on the 1-to-10 Pain Scale. They were quick to admit us and run tests, but then we waited, and waited, and waited…we were discharged shortly after 11 with the diagnosis of either a viral infection that is inflaming her abdomen, or too-early-to-detect appendicitis…so, "wait and see".
I was anxious to get home to check on Felix, who was miserable this morning with a UTI. I gave him medication shortly before leaving with Alyssa at 7:30am, but as of 12:00pm he still hadn't peed at all, and was growling and meowing pitifully. I skipped the wait and see approach with him (as I did a couple of weeks ago, when he had a UTI that we were actively treating with Amoxicillin and Elavil, but he was still peeing (albeit frequently) and it did clear up within a couple of days) and took him to the vet, and I am SO GLAD I did, because as I suspected from some quick Googling, he has a complete urinary blockage/obstruction. This is fatal, and will kill a cat within 72 hours of the last successful urination.
As miserable as Felix had to be, he still managed to come out of his carrier on his own volition, and stand directly in front of the vet, waiting expectantly to be petted as the humans discussed his fate. His fate is going to be pricey for Dan and I (to the tune of potential quadruple digits), but good for him: as I was filling out treatment authorization paperwork he was whisked away to be sedated, catheterized, and pumped full of pain medication, antibiotics, and fluids. He'll stay at the vet's office with the catheter in and all sorts of yummy IV-delivered healing goodness for the next three to four days – possibly a bit longer if his FIV complicates his recovery.
So far Felix has bounced back from: living outdoors and being beat up by other cats, undernourishment/underweight, a nasty cold, and conjunctivitis. Cross your everything that he bounces back from this, too! ♥
Shine bright
So this happened today:
Earlier today I was in the process of removing nail polish from my nails when I happened to glance down and noticed that MY ENGAGEMENT RING WAS MISSING ITS MAIN DIAMOND. AHHH! I freaked out, spent five minutes combing through our bedroom and found nothing, then happened to walk through the living room and spotted the diamond, upside down, on our tiled entryway. Whew! What are the chances, right? So now both my engagement ring and the loose diamond are safely tucked in a Ziploc bag that's stashed inside a zippered compartment of my wallet, and my left hand feels naked, despite my wedding band on my ring finger and a sterling silver ring on my middle finger.
So now I need to get to a jeweler and get the diamond re-set into the ring (or, as my husband's uncle suggested, break out the Gorilla Glue). I suppose a jewel falling out of its setting on a 12 year old ring that has been worn almost 24/7 (the only times I've taken it off have been for surgeries (seven) and resizing after I lost the first 100 pounds – so in twelve years and two months it's only been not-exposed-to-everyday-wear-and-tear for a sum total of maybe 100 hours?) isn't a shocker to anyone…still, it was a shock to ME to see that my ring was missing its diamond!
Other than bracing myself for what could have been a needle-in-a-haystack hunt, it's been a quiet Sunday. Alyssa is sick with a cold and has spent most of the day in our bed, Dan and I slept in (if you consider 9am sleeping in), and I've been battling a headache for several hours now, and am about to give up and just go to bed…at 6:18pm.
You better run, run, run
(Name that song/please accept my apologies for the ear worm!)
On this day last year I was two weeks post-op from my hysterectomy and appendectomy, but that didn't stop me from hauling my bloated, sore self out of bed and driving Alyssa and Ryan to one of the local schools for a race – a race they told me about 35 minutes before we had to be there for registration. Meanwhile I had been asleep, none of us were dressed, and did I mention that the drive to the school is about 20 minutes if there are no Amish buggies on the road? But we made it, and the kids raced and had a blast.
This year I was prepared – Alyssa and Ryan told me about the race two weeks in advance, we had the registration forms, and I reminded them last night. Ryan wound up skipping the race in favor of attending a Boy Scouts field trip, but Alyssa was excited to go – and she placed eighth for girls in her grade!
While we were waiting for her grade to race she hung out with friends and I sat around a little awkwardly in awesomely glittery tights and a dress (I was seriously the only woman there in a dress, and there were at least two hundred other people!), while she raced I shamelessly cheered her on and took loads of pictures, and once she was done she bought two sprinkled donuts and asked me to take her home, because she was exhausted. A half-mile run on an unevenly, slightly hilly grassy field is no joke!

Great lesson. Only complaint is that I wish GW would show standard notation in addition to the tabs. It's useful to see the intervals on a staff with material like this. Really, really good info in this "Autumn Leaves" lesson though.

The Defense Department has expanded the number of projects it details in the federal IT Dashboard.
In its fiscal 2015 submission to the federal IT Dashboard, the Defense Department has reported more than $2.5 billion in ongoing IT projects that were not listed last year. That raises the number of DOD IT projects from 93 to 118.
Those are not new projects, but rather an update that reflects the increasing pressure to get DOD to comply with the Office of Management and Budget's IT reporting requirements. Lawmakers hope that uniform reporting will give them a more accurate picture of the federal government's biggest single bucket of IT spending. DOD had more than $31 billion worth of non-classified IT projects in fiscal 2014.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) has been among the most vocal critics of DOD's IT reporting. "I remain concerned by the [Government Accountability Office] reports indicating that a number of the Pentagon's IT acquisition programs have not been correctly categorized on the government's website," Ayotte said at a February hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee's Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee.
At that same hearing, DOD CIO Teri Takai said, "I would not necessarily depict our current ratings that are out on the dashboard as being 100 percent correct."
Takai issued a memo on March 25 to the department's CIOs outlining reporting requirements for the IT Dashboard and instructing them to measure risk on the one-to-five scale OMB uses in its TechStat process. Although FCW was not able to see the internal memo, a DOD official said it was coordinated with the undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics and addresses some of the issues raised by critics on Capitol Hill. The memo is apparently designed to align DOD's homegrown acquisition guidance known as the 5000 process into OMB's governmentwide system.
"You certainly do not want to hear, 'Well, we are DOD and so our ratings are a little different,' which I am sure you hear a lot from us on other things," Takai said at the hearing.
Some of the larger DOD projects to be added to the IT Dashboard include:
Despite the changes in DOD's IT reporting, projects' risk ratings have remained stable. In previous IT Dashboard reports, none of DOD's projects were listed in the red-flag category for having a risk score of one or two. That has not changed in the current iteration of the IT Dashboard: Of the 118 investments listed, 112 were listed with a "green" score of four or five, and 12 were listed as medium risk or "yellow" with a score of three.
Dave Powner, director of IT management issues at GAO, has been skeptical that those ratings are accurate. "There are a lot of complex projects there," he said. "It is not that they are doing a bad job that they are red. I mean, there are red projects across programs. There are red projects in the private sector. But you cannot fix the problems unless you acknowledge you have a problem."
