And that fits with "Hell no, you can't go" how?
"I/we take the future challenge faced by all asset managers with close to a sacred trust."
Do you know what's most depressing about this picture?
It's not the untied tie, the absence of sex toys on peoples desks or even the piles of broken dreams scattered about. It's that damn drop ceiling. The only people who should work in buildings with drop ceilings should be in retail.

Yeah, that shit is why I left.

We called you Mo for a reason.

Re: blades disgrace
I understand why people say that. I think its a hard one to answer. I'd like to think that the fans would get behind a young side promoted from the academy side but it is a tough one to call.
There has been talk that McCabe and / or Birch may appear on radio sheffield. Unless the questions are clear and simple and avoid any ambiguity there is little point as it will just be more of the same. The thing is Birch answered the questions we all had a year or so ago. It wasn't what any of us wanted to hear but we still seem to think that another round might change the answers to what we want to hear.
We will never be given a detailed appraisal of the cash flow. We can all calculate and probably build a sensible answer but the answer to where the money has gone will never be given. McCabe looked like the best chairman we had had in a generation 3 years ago. The last 3 years has undone the previous 8 or 9 years efforts.

I have a 12 yo granddaugher. I thought that it would be neat to get her an old fashioned charm bracelet for Christmas with some vintage sterling charms that represent her interests.
I thought that I would involve her other grandmother in the project. She could pick some charms too, and we could have a personal charm from each of us on there. So when she got older, even if she didn't wear the bracelet, she would always have the loving memento from her grandmothers. But my husband thinks that I should do it on my own, since it is my idea and I could certainly execute it myself. What do you all think? The other grandma is a nice person. We have already done a project together. When our granddaugher was born, I assembled a doll with items from multiple generations from both sides of the family. Talented G'ma M made a petticoat for the doll. cocooner |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think doing this with the other grandmother sounds lovely and it will allow both of you to add charms to it from memorable events in her life. |
I would not include the other grand mother in everything, you are building special memories for your grand kids. I wanted to be remembered by my grands as being special to them. Their parents would say we are going to Grandmas, the kids eyes would lite up and say things like "grandma with the toy box, grandma that plays games with us", etc.. They are grown now and often mention our times together. I have fond memories of sitting with my grandmother, her sitting in her rocker peeling potatoes or apples. We had one on one conversations and she would always hand me a piece of whatever she was peeling. Good memories for me. |
Oh, I don't involve the other G'ma in everything, just occasionally. There was limited response here; if folks go to the kitchen table forum and look under the "with or without the other g/ma" post you'll see more discussion. And also don't miss the "charm bracelet for granddaughter" post in that forum. It's so sweet. cocooner |

Mobile Fix - The iPhone cometh
Simon Andrews, founder of the full service mobile agency addictive!, on the new iPhone5 - from Google maps to iO6...
The reviews are in and pretty much everyone loves the new iPhone. Five star ratings abound and we're told pre-orders are breaking records. So undoubtedly Apple has done it again.
But as the new Samsung ad suggests, the iPhone is a mainstream product now. While this is great for the share price, the door is now open for someone to come up with next hit phone and steal the early adopter market - but Apple has set the bar very high.
While the first deliveries of iPhones in the UK are due tomorrow, we can already play with iO6 and this gives us a good look at the new experience, as most of the features of iO6 work on the 4S and lots on older iPhones too.
Techcrunch has a good round up of all the new features - but the one that's hard to judge is Passbook, as there only seems to be a Lufthansa app for the UK. Why aren't BA, Virgin, Tesco, Odeon etc in there? Hopefully these deals are being done now.
The big changes we expected were the loss of YouTube and Google Maps as pre-installed apps. The new Apple maps app that replaces Google Maps has caused most concern, with lots of dissatisfaction. A very amusing Tumblr is already collecting the best examples of mistakes and omissions - our favourite being a farm in Ireland called Airfield, which is now marked as an airport.
While we wait for a native Google Maps app, going to maps.google.co.uk gets you a really good HTML5 webapp that does pretty much everything you want from Google Maps. Add it to your home screen and you can ignore the Apple maps until they get it sorted, which they inevitably will do.
The big issue for Google isn't really whether users choose to use the default Apple maps; what developers do is a much bigger issue. Right now the vast majority of mapping apps use Google, but the recent changes to the way they manage their API has led people to find alternatives. Foursquare moved to Open Street Map a while back and now we hear that Amazon is switching to Nokia Maps.
If all the iPhone developers choose to migrate away from Google, they have a problem. Of course this is mitigated by the need for a solution that works across all platforms - so maybe Nokia can get some love - and justify the price Nokia paid for the maps company Navteq, that was higher than the whole companies current value.
GAFA Advertising
Just as Google fight that battle, its dominance as an ad business is coming under pressure from Facebook. As we have discussed before, search is a quick win for Facebook - especially if they did a deal with Google or Yahoo! to monetise the billion searches they have everyday. But Zuckerberg is looking at this opportunity in a more strategic way and that was a major factor in the share price turning around in recent days.
The other big opportunity we have discussed is how Facebook could leverage all their data to better target ads across the web, which they are now testing in third party mobile apps. This could be a huge play for Facebook - if they can manage the privacy issues.
The good news for Google is that they are getting stronger in display - and are now ahead of Facebook as the biggest player in the US market
Increasingly search and display are no longer separate silos. As data drives more and more precise targeting they are starting to blend - and a new approach to search from Facebook will accelerate this. Some new capabilities within adwords, that allow for smart re-targeting based on specific behaviours, show the way clever brands are using digital media for performance marketing.
Creative work is also being celebrated with the launch of the Google Sandbox - quite similar to the Studio launched by Facebook last year.
Knowing precisely where someone is right now has to be one of the most exciting factors in mobile - and while the most prominent current use is in search, we see huge potential going forward.
One driver of location has been checking in and Foursquare is looking to woo back lapsed users with some new products and functionality - and a renewed emphasis on partnerships with brands. A couple of recent planning sessions with the Foursquare team and clients has been very interesting.
This tweet from the Olympics digital Czar was interesting; checking in is still used by lots of people. And given the comparative user bases, the numbers for Foursquare are impressive.
Alex Balfour @AlexBalfour2012 This just in. 623,957 check ins to Olympic venues during the Olympic Games on Facebook. About 10% of that number on Foursquare.
Just as Google Maps power lots of apps, so too does the FourSquare API - wherever we have been in the world we have found that just about everywhere is on the Foursquare database. And as they focus on discovery with the Explore function, we think they will be a strong competitor to Yelp and Google in local search.
Retail disruption
This week we have being doing lots of work on retail and the stats continue to astound. Deloitte's new research estimates that around 6% of UK in-store retail sales were influenced by smartphones in Q2 this year - that's over £15 billion.
And comScore research in the US shows that 80% of US smartphone users visited a retail site / app - with Amazon (47%) eBay (31%) and Apple (17%) the top destinations. Shopkick reached over four million people - just under 4%.
The CEO of US department store Nordstrom, sums things up: "Companies were in control even up until 2000. But now the customer is in the driver's seat. If you embrace that, you will thrive. If not, then by 2020, you will not survive."
The latest session of mobile training that we run for ISBA is taking place next week and there are a couple of spare places.

Sponsored by: Missoula Federal Credit Union
Jun 19, 2013 7:03 PM by Dennis Bragg - KPAX News
ST. IGNATIUS - The lead federal negotiator for the Flathead Water compact told Mission Valley irrigators on Wednesday that there will be major issues to deal with in the coming years if the proposed settlement is abandoned.
But Bureau of Indian Affairs Senior Attorney Duane Mecham says the agency is interested in seeing if there are ways to keeping working together to resolve the stalled negotiations.
The future of the Flathead Water Compact, and a separate water use agreement with the Flathead Joint Board of Control, was left in limbo when the Montana Legislature decided not to ratify the agreement.
During a special meeting with the FJBC Wednesday, BIA attorney Duane Mecham told irrigators the lack of an agreement doesn't remove the need to satisfy legal rulings to preserve strong water flows, and protect bull trout under the Endangered Species Act.
However, with irrigators appealing for help, Mecham offered assurances BIA is willing to work with local farmers and ranchers, as well as the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes to see if concerns can be ironed out.
"We've done a remarkable job as stewards of the land. We're asking for your help. To help us to continue that stewardship," said one Ronan irrigator.
"If we need to go an alternative route we're willing to discuss that, to get to a better sense that, as a federal project the irrigation community that it serves has a better comfort level," said Mecham.
Partners involved in the water compact are starting to draft reports recommending next steps on the water compact that should be completed this summer. The Joint Board of Control is preparing its own list of concerns that should be done in the next few weeks.

Police agencies again search forest preserve for Stacy Peterson
By Brian Stanley firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 12:24PM
Investigators with the FBI and the Illinois State Police plan their search inside Hammel Woods near Black Road and Route 59 in Shorewood, IL on Wednesday November 7, 2012. They were searching for the missing Stacy Peterson. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media

Updated: December 9, 2012 7:31PM
SHOREWOOD — Investigators using dogs searched Hammel Woods again Wednesday.
The FBI and state police have been looking through the 400-acre Will County forest preserve this week. They won't say publicly what they're looking for.
A police source told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed, however, that investigators are searching for missing mom Stacy Peterson, the wife of convicted murderer and former Bolingbrook police Sgt. Drew Peterson.
The search was actually a repeat of one done two years ago by state police, said the source, who added that the search was based on an old lead; Authorities had been waiting for the availability of cadaver dogs.
Since Monday, an FBI Mobile Command truck has been parked near the Black Road entrance while groups have searched the woods. Around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday about 10 investigators returned with hiking sticks, small shovels and yellow poles used to prod loose soil.
As one man wearing FBI garb walked a hiking path and looked at an aerial photograph, another wearing a jacket labeled "Evidence Response Team" followed a springer spaniel running through the nearby trees.
Springer spaniels are regularly used as "cadaver dogs" and it is not unheard of for the animals to find remains that have been exposed to the elements for more than a decade.
Stacy Peterson has been missing since Oct. 28, 2007, shortly after telling her husband she wanted a divorce. Peterson was convicted in September of killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio, and is considered the main suspect in Stacy's disappearance.
Joliet police said this week the search had no connection to their recent efforts to find Linda Barr Fellenbaum, who has been missing since Oct. 21. Friends and family searched for the missing 32-year-old mother of three on Sunday.
The DuPage River runs through Hammel Woods, with "islands" in the middle that regularly collect debris as the water flows downstream from the north.

We are in the process of painting trim in an old house. The original colour is navy blue and we want white. We have done one coat of paint-and-primer-in-one and hated using it - it was like painting with glue. And of course one coat won't cover the blue - we expect to have to do three coats. Can we just buy ordinary good quality latex trim paint and go on our merry way? Or do we have to continue with the all in one stuff. thanks. |

Pitch the " all in one" stuff and get some real primer. Prime it first , then paint with "normal" paint. Go to a real paint store |
- Posted by otislilly.com (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 12 at 0:38
there is no such unicorn as primer and paint in one, though they try and sell it. even on the back of its own label says for use over primed surfaces only. Primer is glue in its simplest definition, thats why its primer used to make the adhesive bond between layers. over the blue you should have any primer tinted light grey,I agree with christophern, but will add behr,valspar,walmart brand are not quality paints. If you had went to sherwin williams, told them what you were doing, you would have gotten what you needed, and well honestly, probably would be done already |
- Posted by Jumpilotmdm (My Page) on Thu, May 24, 12 at 8:32
I agree with otis AND also would say that any aged coat of paint that is clean, dull & dry could be considered as near-equal to a primed coat. But since no real weathering takes place inside and you have a fresh coat to deal with the rules change. Usually compatible latex products will "knit" together when applied soon after as in a 2 coat system. I would be somewhat comfortable just applying a good quality finish coat over what you've done with the idea to do an adhesion test at some point. Adhesion test: place masking tape [not painters blue] on the finish product a rip it off quickly. Does it pull the top coat off? |

One thing importers of South African fruit can always count on, Flores said, is that shippers won't rush shipments just to extend their marketing opportunities.
"They'll wait for the quality to be ideal," she said. "South African growers have always done a really good job of protecting the integrity of their fruit. They don't want to send anything to market prematurely."
Seald Sweet will likely ship South African citrus into mid- to late October, though there have been seasons where product was available in November, Flores said.
As of mid-April, the weather in the Western Cape growing region of South Africa has been ideal, with ample rainfall and warm days and nights, said Tom Cowan, South African sales manager for Fort Pierce, Fla.-based DNE World Fruit Sales.
The onset of cooler weather in April should help fruit color and improve its taste, Cowan said.
"The internal quality looks very good, with the sugars running high and acids at desirable levels for this point in the season," he said.
South African clementines will likely peak on 2s and 3s this season, Cowan said. Navels are expected to be slightly smaller than normal, with fruit peaking on 64s, 72s and 88s.
DNE expects its first shipments of clementines in early June, Cowan said. Clementines from South Africa were maturing one or two weeks earlier than usual as of mid-April, Cowan said.
About 3.8 million cartons of South African clementines are expected in the U.S. this season, up from 2.2 million cartons in 2011, Cowan said.
Clementines will ship through about mid-August, to be followed by late-season mandarins, which should ship through October.
South African navels should begin arriving in mid-June and ship through most of September, Cowan said. DNE expects midknights to ship from about late September to mid-November.

The Next Generation of Anti-aging
By: Abby Penning
Posted: January 30, 2012, from the February 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.

Luckily, there are now a variety of ways for brands to communicate product education to consumers—social media such as Facebook and YouTube, dedicated websites, magazines and much, much more.
"You have to take the time to convey the science of your products and ingredients in layman's terms. You have to lay it out in a way that makes the consumers think, 'Hey, that's a pretty cool idea!' and then makes them want to share it with their friends," says Anthonavage. "A lot of this market is leveraging new discoveries in biology and skin care to pave the way in terms of innovation and new product development. You might develop a great anti-aging ingredient or product that can do multiple things, but then your next move is to know your customers well enough to know how to use this innovation to engage them. Do they want to talk about the moisturization or the anti-inflammation? If a product reduces fine lines and redness, but your customer is focused on wrinkle-reduction, that's what you want to talk about. Focus on what your customers are looking for and let them be further engaged by the other great things the product does."

"Is it better to 'think', without having a critical awareness, in a disjointed and episodic way? Or, on the other hand, is it better to work out consciously and critically one's own concept of the world and thus, in connection with the labors of one's own brain, choose one's sphere of activity, take an active part in the creation of the history of the world, be one's own guide, refusing to accept passively and supinely from outside the molding of ones' personality?"
-Antonio Gramsci
"There are moments in life where the question of knowing whether one might think otherwise than one thinks and perceive otherwise than one sees is indispensable if one is to continue to observe or reflect . . . What is philosophy today. . . if it does not consist in, instead of legitimizing what we already know, undertaking to know how and how far it might be possible to think otherwise?"
-Michel Foucault
By studying philosophy, you will acquire refined critical reasoning skills, a global-intellectual perspective and rigorous methods for addressing perennial human questions of existence, faith, politics, ethics and history. In your pursuit of a higher education, philosophy directs you to substantially confront the roots of your practical endeavors as well as your lifelong passions.
We realize in addition to being enriched through higher education, you are seeking a college degree to further your career ambitions. Even if you plan on pursuing a career not in Philosophy, but rather in Medicine, Law, Business or another field in which you will be pursuing graduate studies, consider the following:
- If you are considering graduate school, you will have to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Philosophy majors score higher on the GRE than all but four other majors and highest of all humanities degrees.1 In fact, no major has a higher mean on the Verbal portion2 , and only physics, engineering and mathematics scored higher on the quantitative portion.3
- If you are considering law school, you will have to take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Philosophy majors scored 10% higher than political science majors on the LSAT.4
- If you are considering further studies in business, you will have to take the General Management Admission Test (GMAT). Philosophy majors outperformed every other major (except mathematics) on the GMAT.
The vast majority of students today work in areas beyond their professional training. In fact, you are likely to have more than 10 jobs before you are 40.*Bureau of Labor Statistics

It's been around two months since the Miami Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs in an epic seven game series and since then we've seen players drafted, traded, released and signed. As the Summer wraps up NBA rosters are almost complete and the only signings left are some veteran minimum deals. With around a month and a half until NBA teams begin to start their training camps here are the off-season grades for every single NBA team.
Atlanta Hawks
Major Additions: Elton Brand, Paul Millsap, Dennis Schroeder (drafted), Lucas Nogueira
Major Losses: Josh Smith, Zaza Pachulia
Hawks general manager Danny Ferry's master plan of clearing cap room to be able to entice major free agents such as Dwight Howard and Chris Paul fell through. As we know Paul stayed with the Clippers while Superman flew to Houston. Ferry decided that he didn't want to keep the two-way player in Josh Smith because he didn't feel he was worth a near max contract. Instead Ferry got Millsap at a bargain, one of the best signings of the summer, resigned Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver and drafted Dennis Schroeder, a point guard from Germany who looks like Rajon Rondo and had an impressive Summer league. Overall the Hawks managed to somewhat salvage their miss of Chris Paul and Dwight, but are left in NBA's no man's land of a late seed playoff team.
Grade: B
Boston Celtics
Major Additions: Kris Humphries, Marshon Brooks, Gerald Wallace
Major Losses: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry
General Manager Danny Ainge cut the chord; he finally ended the Pierce-Garnett time in Boston, but that couldn't have been completed without Doc Rivers' departure to the Los Angeles Clippers. With Pierce and Garnett gone and the acquisition of three draft picks from the Nets, the Celtics are poised for a rebuild. Additionally, with new coach Brad Stevens from Butler University, it remains to be seen how much success this team will have or wants to have. If the Celtics do truly want to rebuild though, they will probably need to get rid of all-star point guard Rajon Rondo. Rondo is one of the most competitive players in the game and "tanking" for the next few years is not what he wants. Furthermore, the Celtics still have Jeff Green, Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass, so this team is not a playoff team, but unless it hits the lottery jackpot, prized Kansas freshman and supposed number one pick in the 2014 draft Andrew Wiggins, is not in their future.
Grade: B-
Brooklyn Nets
Major Additions: Kevin Garnett, Andrei Kirilenko, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, Mason Plumlee
Major Losses: Gerald Wallace, C.J. Watson, Marshon Brooks, Kris Humphries
Since this is a Nets blog I saved to write this grade for last. As everyone has noted, 1-5 the Nets have arguably the most talented starting five. With Deron, JJ, Pierce, Garnett and Brook the Nets have players that can consistently score at every position. Additionally, by resigning Blatche, drafting Plumlee and signing Kirilenko, Livingston, and Alan Anderson as well as trading for Terry the Nets are also much deeper. They also have a new coach in Jason Kidd, with three new assistants including ex-head coach Lawrence Frank. Frank is an X factor on this coaching staff because has a great relationship with KG during his time as a Celtics assistant coach. Kidd will have to be able to manage the minutes of this aging team and Deron Williams needs to come to camp in shape. With all this said, the Nets had one of the best off-seasons in the NBA. As I wrote in a previous column, they are different from the 2012 Lakers team that they are compared with because they are deeper. Furthermore this team is committed to defense, especially with Frank as the team's defensive coordinator. It remains to be seen how Kidd will run the offense, but given all the talent he has there should not be that many problems.
Grade: A-
Charlotte Bobcats
Major Additions: Cody Zeller (drafted), Al Jefferson
Major Losses:
Besides the Cavaliers' selection of Anthony Bennett as the first pick, Michael Jordan's selection of Cody Zeller at number four was the second most shocking pick. The rap on Zeller is that he is athletic and can run the floor, but he doesn't have a high ceiling. Nerlens Noel would have been a better pick here. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Bobcats tried to salvage the off-season by dramatically overpaying for Al Jefferson. With a starting five of Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Michaek Kidd-Gilchrist, Cody Zeller and Al Jefferson the Bobcats will be somewhat improved, but that all depends on the maturation of Walker and Gilchrist. The Bobcats are destined for a run at Andrew Wiggins.
Grade: C+
Chicago Bulls
Major Additions: Mike Dunleavy Jr.
Major Losses: Nate Robinson, Marco Bellineli
The Bulls team from last year will be almost the same as this year's roster except the re-emergence of umm, DERRICK ROSE. Rose is finally healthy and with an improved Jimmy Butler, the Bulls are destined for a top seed in the playoffs. Nate was obviously incredible, especially in the playoffs, but with Rose back his role is not as needed. Still, the question remains for Chicago, can they beat the Heat with no real second star. History tells us no and that forward in Miami is only getting better.
Grade: B-
Cleveland Cavaliers
Major Additions: Anthony Bennett (drafted), Andrew Bynum, Jarrett Jack
Major Losses: Marreese Speights
If you're a Cavalier fan you have to be excited. Anthony Bennett is getting comparisons to Larry Johnson, Andrew Bynum signed with the Cavs on a great deal that has almost no guaranteed money and Jarret Jack will be able to mentor Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters like he did for Curry and Thompson in Golden State. With Dion Waiters and Tristan Thompson, as well as a healthy Anderson Varejao, the Cavaliers are looking to get back into the playoff mix. Also, Chris Grant, their general manager, has done a great job with the team's finances so that they can make a run at Lebron James in the Summer of 2014.
Grade: A-
Dallas Mavericks
Major Additions: Monta Ellis, Jose Calderon, Devin Harris
Major Losses: Elton Brand, O.J. Mayo
The Mavericks story sounds similar to the Hawks; clear cap room and strike out. Owner Mark Cuban won't rebuild and get rid of Dirk, so the team is still in win-now mode. Unfortunately they don't have the roster make up to make the playoffs in an incredibly deep Western Conference. The Monta Ellis signing is relatively cheap and Calderon and Harris will give better guard play than what they had last year with Collison, but coach Rick Carlisle is not left with a lot of talent.
Grade: C+
Denver Nuggets
Major Additions: J.J. Hickson, Nate Robinson
Major Losses: Andre Iguodala, Corey Brewer
Losing Andre Iguodala is a huge loss, but what may be greater is the non-roster losses that the Nuggets suffered. George Karl "resigned" as coach and Masaj Ujiri, an incredibly young GM left for Toronto. The short term future is not as bleak as the long-term because Nate Robinson and J.J. Hickson are both incredible signings. Hickson had one of his best seasons last year and Robinson will give the already energetic Nuggets more energy and instant offense.
Grade: B
Detroit Pistons
Major Additions: Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Chauncey Billups
Major Losses: Brandon Knight, Jose Calderon
The notion that people don't see the Pistons in the playoffs is ludicrous. With a starting five that includes Jennings, Smith, Monroe and Drummond this Pistons team will surprise everybody. The hatred for J-Smoove and Brandon Jennings is so strong that it now masks how these two players are actually incredibly talented. Combined with the fact that Chauncey Billups will be there to player-coach, this Pistons team will mature and make the playoffs. Also, watch out for Caldwell-Pope, he was easily the best shooter in this past draft and with the attention that Monroe and Drummond will get, he is destined for some wide open looks.
Golden State Warriors
Major Additions: Andre Iguodala
Major Losses: Jarret Jack, Carl Landry
The saying "addition by subtraction" is used a lot in sports, most notably with whatever team Stephon Marbury used to leave. The signing of Andre Iguodala is not "subtraction by addition" by any stretch of the imagination, but I do question the signing given that it moves Harrison Barnes into a 6th man role. Barnes showed great strides in the playoffs and pushing him to a more reserved role does not make much sense. Still, Iguodala is a complete animal that runs the floor, plays defense and passes well. However, the losses of Landry, their best rebounder/defender and Jack, a sixth man of the year candidate are huge losses.
Grade: B
Houston Rockets
Major Additions: Dwight Howard
Major Losses: Carlos Delfino
The Rockets caught the biggest fish in the NBA free agency sea in center Dwight Howard. The combination of Howard and Harden will be compared to Kobe-Shaq constantly during the season. General Manager Daryl Morey gambled, acquiring picks and young players and giving up talent such as Kyle Lowry, but it all paid off and he's made all of us look silly. Along with Chandler Parsons the Rockets have a great core. Still there needs to be skepticism. As I wrote a few days ago, regarding why the Lakers collapsed last year, a lack of bench, the Rockets look like they might have similar problems. They will have a bench consisting of Patrick Beverly, Francisco Garcia, Greg Smith, Marcus Camby and Terrence Jones. It's a mediocre bench and with Jeremy Lin who had a disappointing year in Houston, the Rockets are left with a mediocre point guard, a mediocre bench, and an unhappy forward in Omer Asik. Furthermore, if Asik backs up Howard and Greg Smith starts the starting lineup will be even less efficient. Let's see if Morey trades Asik for a solid point guard.
Grade: A-
Indiana Pacers
Major Additions: Luis Scola, C.J. Watson, Chris Copeland
Major Losses: D.J. Augustin, Tyler Hansbrough
The Pacers had possibly the best off-season. Besides the fact that they are getting back former all-star Danny Granger from injury, they addressed their needs during this Summer. In the playoffs they noticed that their bench was completely ineffective and they combated this problem by obtaining Luis Scola, who will provide valuable off the bench minutes in place of David West or Roy Hibbert, they signed Chris Copeland to have another instant offense scorer and upgraded at the backup point guard spot by getting C.J. Watson and getting rid of D.J. Augustin. This team is deep, defensive-minded and has a perennial superstar in Paul George. The Pacers might be the most likely Eastern Conference team to dethrone the Heat.
Grade: A
L.A. Clippers
Major Additions: Jared Dudley, J.J. Redick
Major Losses: Eric Bledsoe, Caron Butler
Far more significant than their acquisition of two sharpshooters in Redick and Dudley is the arrival of coach Doc Rivers. Finally the Clippers will have a coach who knows how to run a team, unlike the inept Vinny Del Negro. Moreover, Doc, who is known for getting the most out of his superstars, will try to get the most out Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan. Acquiring Redick and Dudley should not go unnoticed at all because one of the Clippers largest holes was outside shooting. With the Duke and B.C. standouts the Clippers will be able to attack inside and outside. Still, the Clippers did not address the need for a strong interior defensive presence. Along with Griffin and Jordan's horrific foul shooting, the Clippers might be the best team in the NBA... for the first 45 minutes of a game.
Grade: B+
L.A. Lakers
Major Additions: Nick Young, Chris Kaman
Major Losses: Dwight Howard, Metta World Peace
For all the talk that Dwight Howard is a baby for not sticking it out in Los Angeles, one item remains true, he made the right call. With an injured Kobe, a broken down Nash, a confidence-less Pau and possibly the most stubborn and ineffective coach in the NBA in Mike D'Antoni, Howard is in a far better place. The Lakers made a lot of one year deals in Kaman and Young so that they can be mediocre this year and try to swoop Carmelo Anthony or Lebron James in free agency. The Lakers will be boring next year and depending on when Kobe comes back they might be pretty bad. At least they got rid of MWP who served no purpose on the roster.
Grade: C
Memphis Grizzlies
Major Additions: Mike Miller
Major Losses: Darrell Arthur
The Grizzlies were one of the hottest teams in the NBA until they hit the Spurs in the playoffs. In the playoffs the Spurs showed the Grizzlies that they could leave Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince wide open and double team Randolph and Gasol. The result of this genius decision by Coach Popovich was a sweep. The Grizzlies some what addressed the need for outside shooting with the injury-plagued Mike Miller, but they could still use more shooters. The loss of Coach Lionel Hollins will also not be easy on some of the players, though his relationship with Z-Bo was tense, so Coach David Joeger will have to pick up from where the Grizzlies left off, a top 4 Western Conference team.
Grade: B
Miami Heat
Major Additions: Greg Oden
Major Losses: Mike Miller
Four words; Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh. If these two guys want Lebron to resign they better get healthy and honestly better during this off-season. They were one Ray Allen missed three pointer away from being 1/3 in the Big 3 era. The loss of Mike Miller will not hurt and reports say that Greg Oden will be ready by mid-season. If Oden can be effective at all, this team will be better next year than they were this year. Oden will be able to provide interior relief against Roy Hibbert, David West, Brook Lopez, Kevin Garnett and Joakim Noah.
Grade: B
Milwaukee Bucks
Major Additions: O.J. Mayo, Brandon Knight, Zaza Pachulia, Luke Ridnour
Major Losses: Monta Ellis, Brandon Jennings, J.J. Redick
While the Pacers had arguably the best off-season, the Bucks had the most perplexing off-season. They got rid of Jennings, Ellis, and Redick and one would assume that they were completely starting over and trying for a youth movement through the draft. Instead, the Bucks acquired Mayo, Pachulia and Ridnour. Pachulia may now have one of the worst contracts in the league. At least the Bucks have some pieces in Brandon Knight, Larry Sanders and John Henson. Still, it appears that their owner won't allow for a rebuild and is instead dying for the 8th seed.
Grade: C-
Minnesota Timberwolves
Major Additions: Shabbazz, Muhummad (drafted), Kevin Martin, Gorugi Dieng (drafted)
Major Losses: Andrei Kirilenko, Luke Ridnour
Unlike what most might think, the Timberwolves actually had a solid off-season. With all his antics, Shabbazz is undoubtedly a talented player; he would have been a top 5 pick if he could have come out of high school. Additionally, Gorugi Dieng will provide more interior post presence, similarly to what Greg Stiemsma did. Though the loss of Andrei Kirilenko hurts, Kevin Martin will provide instant scoring. With a potential starting lineup of Rubio, Martin, Budinger, Love and Pekovic and Barea, Shabbazz, Dieng and Derrick Williams on the bench, the T-Wolves have a pretty complete roster.
Grade: B+
New Orleans Pelicans
Major Additions: Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday
Major Losses: Robin Lopez, Grevis Vasquez
The Pelicans have had one of the most controversial off-seasons. For starters, they are now called the Pelicans. Beyond the name-change, the Pelicans could have had Nerlens Noel and Anthony Davis, but instead decided to trade Noel and a pick for Jrue Holiday. They then signed Tyreke Evans and got rid of Robin Lopez and Grevis Vasquez. This Pelicans team has a ton of talent with Evans, Holiday, Davis, Ryan Anderson, Austin Rivers, Aminu and Eric Gordon. The question is if Monty Williams can manage all these youngsters. Still, I like the Jrue Holiday trade and Tyreke needed a change of scenery.
Grade: B+
New York Knicks
Major Additions: Andrea Bargnani, Tim Hardaway Jr. (drafted), Metta World Peace, Beno Udrih
Major Losses: Chris Copeland, Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby
The Knicks have received a lot of criticism for a supposed awful off-season. However, the Knicks undoubtedly got more talented this Summer with the acquisition of Bargnani, MWP and Hardaway Jr. Kidd and Camby were ineffective as the season wore on and Mike Woodson clearly had no faith in Chris Copeland. The Knicks desperately need J.R. Smith to come back healthy to start the season and the same should be said for Amare Stoudemire. Carmelo is going to have to carry almost all the weight on this Knick roster, unless Shumpert improves his game dramatically during the Summer. In what could be Carmelo Anthony and Mike Woodson's last season in New York, the Knicks are going to have to overachieve.
Grade: B-
Oklahoma City Thunder
Major Additions: Steven Adams (Drafted)
Major Losses: Kevin Martin
From this time last year to right now, the Thunder have gotten dramatically worse. Harden-Martin-Jeremy Lamb is a devastating transition at the shooting guard position and they will still be starting Kendrick Perkins. The Thunder are going to need Westrbook and Durant to have their best seasons if they want to compete for an NBA title because right now this team is not as deep as the Spurs or the Clippers and they don't have a good enough third scorer. Steven Adams is very raw and a total work in progress.
Grade: C
Orlando Magic
Major Additions: Victor Oladipo (drafted)
Major Losses:
The consensus is the Magic got the best player in the draft in Victor Oladipo and I completely agree. With Oladipo, Vucevic, Maurice Harkless and Tobias Harris, there is some quality youth on this team. They are going to be bad again next year and that's not a bad thing considering how loaded this upcoming draft is. Also did I mention that they will have two picks in this next draft.
Grade: B+
Philadelphia 76ers
Major Additions: Nerlens Noel (Drafted), Michael Carter-Williams (Drafted)
Major Losses: Jrue Holiday, Dorrell Wright, Nick Young
The Sixers completely started over by trading Jrue Holiday for Noel and a 2014 first round pick. They now have a young center in Noel and a young point guard in Michael Carter-Williams who has drawn comparisons to Shaun Livingston. They are going to be bad next year and if the Hornets don't make the playoffs they will have two lottery picks in an unreal draft. If you're not going to be great you might as well start over and that is exactly what the Sixers did. The question that remains is if Evan Turner is in the Sixers future.
Grade: B+
Phoenix Suns
Major Additions: Eric Bledsoe, Caron Butler, Alex Len (drafted)
Major Losses: Jared Dudley, Luis Scola
The Suns got a great young athletic guard in Eric Bledsoe and drafted a talented big in Alex Len. Like the Sixers, the Suns will be vying for that number one spot in the lottery so that they can draft Andrew Wiggins. The Suns are making strides in the transition out of the Steve Nash era. I would expect a Goran Dragic trade who doesn't serve a role now that Bledsoe is there.
Grade: B+
Portland Trailblazers
Major Additions: C.J. McCollum (drafted), Thomas Robinson, Robin Lopez
Major Losses: J.J Hickson
Whether Lamarcus Aldridge wants to be a Blazer remains to be seen, but the squad in Portland is young and talented. C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard will be great together and they acquired Thomas Robinson, a talented top five pick for nothing.They will absolutely be battling the Timberwolves for one of the last playoff spots in the West. If McCollum blossoms, this team could be incredibly dangerous. Furthermore, the Trailblazers replaced Hickson with Robin Lopez who is coming off his best season. With starting five of Lillard, who spent the Summer learning defense from fellow Oakland native Gary Payton, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, Aldridge and Robin Lopez and McCollum, Robinson, and Myers Leonard on the bench, this team could be good for years to come.
Grade: A-
Sacramento Kings
Major Additions: Carl Landry, Ben McLemore (drafted), Grevis Vasquez
Major Losses: Tyreke Evans
The Kings needed to move on from the Tyreke Evans era and did a good job replacing him with McLemore. McLemore will be in the conversation for Rookie of the Year and Carl Landry will hopefully be able to mentor and teach Demarcus Cousins. Additionally, Grevis Vasquez will provide relief at the point guard position for Isaiah Thomas. Overall a solid offseason.
Grade: B
San Antonio Spurs
Major Additions: Marco Bellineli
Major Losses: Gary Neal
The Spurs resigning of Tiago Splitter for 5 years 45 million dollars seemed completely out of character for general manager R.C. Buford, especially given his abysmal finals. Still, Bellineli will be an upgrade over Gary Neal and Leonard and Danny Green will only get better. The Spurs had an uneventful, but successful off-season.
Grade: B
Toronto Raptors
Major Additions: Steve Novak, Marcus Camby
Major Losses: Andrea Bargnani
The Raptors had to get rid of Andrea Bargnani as his time with Toronto was up, but at least they were able to get a first round pick and Steve Novak for him. The Raptors have young talented players who all happen to play the same position in Derozan, Gay and Terrence Ross. With Masaj Ujiri as the new general manager, it seems that Derozan and/or Gay's time in Toronto will not be for much longer. Ujiri is all about efficient players which Derozan and Gay are notoriously known for not being.
Utah Jazz
Major Additions: Richard Jefferson, Trey Burke (drafted), Andres Biedrins
Major Losses: Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap
The Jazz acquired some picks this Summer and decided to completely rebuild. They are finally leaving the Jefferson and Millsap era and are entering the Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors era... finally. Both have incredible potential and both should not have wasted the last few years backing up those two. Trey Burke could be a homerun of a pick or it could be a disaster, no one knows how his game will translate in the NBA and his doubters are smiling after a terrible Summer league performance. Like the Sixers and Suns, the Jazz are rebuilding the right way.
Washington Wizards
Major Additions: Otto Porter (drafted)
Major Losses:
For some reason I am completely on the John Wall train. He turns the ball over and can't shoot well, but the team also played immensely better when he returned last season. They rewarded him for this play with a new contract. The Wizards pick of Otto Porter was the only obvious pick going into the draft and scouts do not love him because he doesn't do anything great. He also had a pretty brutal Summer league performance. Still, with a healthy John Wall and the maturation of Bradley Beal, the Wizards will battle the Cavaliers, Pistons and Hawks for those last playoff spots.
Grade: B

Now he only uses the auctionhouse in Silvermoon that's right next to the bank and only uses the center auctioneer. And kudos to Thathung for his promotion to patrolling NPC, I occasionally salute him on my mains when I come across him on his patrol of Orgrimmar.

Long time lurker here.
I was given a "rescue" Adenium a few years back (not a single leaf, tiny pot, they starved it of water) and brought it back to health (it lives indoors). Last June I was evacuated from my home for almost 4 weeks due to the High Park Fire, and none of plants got watered. The Adenium was fine after a drink, but while I was gone it grew a lot of seed pods which have now opened! I have hundreds of seeds now. But I was told by somebody who seemed like an expert that because I had only one plant, none of the seeds would germinate. Is this true? Some of the seeds are indeed hollow, but quite a few look fine. So, should I bother starting them? I love Adeniums, I'd be happy to fill my sunroom with them! Thanks in advance... DAN |

Hello Dan, that is not true. Fresh seeds germinate no matter what. Good luck. Marie |

Hi there Dan and a warm welcome to the forum. I'm sure you will find lots of useful info here and make some good on-line pals too. Glad you have crept out of the shadows to join us, lol! You have nothing to loose by trying with your 'home-made' seeds other than a few minutes of your time and a tray of compost so why not have a go, especially as they can germinate very quickly being so fresh (I have had them pop in 4 days) so you will soon know if any are viable. It's great fun to see the fat seedlings emerge and grow on. Let us know how you go on if you decide to sow them please as it's good to hear about everyones experiences. If you have some pics of your plant/seed pods etc etc that would be great. Good luck. Gill from the UK. |
http://www.flowerpictures.net/adenium/pages/adenium_hybridization.htm http://www.flowerpictures.net/adenium/anatomy.htm here's a site i found out how to hybridize adenium and another one showing its flower anatomy for further analysis. it's not explicitly mentioned in the sites but i think it's possible for a solitary adenium to self- pollinate. (unfortunately, the site reads hybridization, and perchance, cross- pollination) well, basically, adenium flowers have this gel cap blocking the receptor from the pollen which is just sitting on the top of it, reminiscent of a cook's white toque to me. assuming that the cap is to be removed, we can say that the ovary will swell due to the pollen getting its way to the receptor. |
Keylyn, very good info, thank you. Marie |
Here is a video i found. Its not in english, but you get the idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jo7ybhidaQ&feature=related |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jo7ybhidaQ&feature=related
i forgot to say that some adenium are self-sterile, and some, self- fertile, but usually self- sterile. that's why most fail to set pod when solitary, while there are some rare reports about solitary adenium setting almost often numerous seed pods just like in your case. |
As promised, photos! The seed pod on the lower right is opening up, and there are 2 more left rear. The plant is starting to regain it's leaves and flowers after the month it didn't get watered during the fire. Thanks for your help, all; I'll be getting the seeds started tonight. |

Breakfast Topic: Missing Professions? {WoW}
Jul 17th 2009 1:33PM Wow....I just posted this very same thing on the World of Warcraft forums yesterday! I totally agree, carpentry/fletchering (is that a word even?) would be an awesome addition to the game. We need some way to make bows, staves, polearms and arrows. And with enough trees everywhere in the game, add a lumberjack gathering profession as well. The inability to manufacture bows in this game has always kind of baffled me, especially when every other type of weapon is already available to the other professions to create.

ErikaTexasHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairOne Of The Best!I cannot live without a flat iron & needless to say i've gone through many. Before i purchased the babyliss pro i had ordered the sedu. The sedu did NOTHING for me and I sent it back within 3 days of receiving it. I exchanged it for this one and i absolutely LOVE it! The only other straightner i would consider buying would be the solia. I had it before this one but after about a year it quit. This straightner is a great buy and a great product!posted Jun 8, 2011Link to this post
Tatiana G.CaliforniaHairMedium BrownNormal HairRelaxed HairChi Vs. BabylissThis straightener is SO GOOD. I really love it. I'm from California so theres not much humidity, but this week it has been raining a lot and when I used the straightener, it completely kept my hair straight even when I was walking in and out of the rain for school without hairspray! I would highly recommended this straightener to people with thicker hair just because it gets very very hot and doesn't damage your hair as much. I actually didnt have to use the highest heat setting and I still got the most long lasting straight beautiful hair. It also had a lot of body and shine. I used to absolutely be in LOVE with my Chi, But I just think this straightener surpasses it by a mile. Don't get me wrong, on a 5 star basis, I would still give the Chi 4 stars, because it did straighten my hair well and it had a quick heat up, but it didnt last nearly as well in humidity and didn't get as hot AND didn't have heat settings, AND didn't make my hair look nearly as healthy as this one. I always thought the Chi made my hair look amazingly healthy until I bought this. Buy this straightener. You will not regret it! :)posted Jun 5, 2011Link to this post

JessicaHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairHmmm.It seems like it is SO difficult to find that perfect flat iron these days. For me, it was a great $50 ceramic iron that made my hair PIN straight and soft for like a week. Until it broke, and they stopped selling it in stores. So sure enough my search for that one true love began. I've tried sedu, GHD (my current) and just recently I purchased this to give it a try as I had seen it in hair salons and there was an awesome deal on folica. The day I got it I was so excited I had to try it right away. Sure enough, I was pretty bummed. It felt like I had to go over parts of my hair several times, and not only that, it felt clunky, and it was giving off a strange smell (it wasn't my hair, I don't use any product.) I gave it another couple tries, only to be severely disappointed.
Anyways, just wasn't the right one for me, but my hair is pretty crazy. I'm sure everybody will have a different opinion. But for now, the search continues!posted May 30, 2011Link to this post -

With claims paid, victims get parts from the bridge that nearly killed them when the span tumbled into the Mississippi River on Aug. 1, 2007.
Clutching a large bolt that had been sheared in half as the I-35W bridge collapsed beneath her, Kim Dahl said she hoped having a piece of the fallen bridge would help her and her family put the deadly episode behind them.
"Just seeing the stuff, all the mangled wreckage up close, is just a reality — I mean this was what was beneath us when we fell," Kim Dahl said as she and others who survived when the span tumbled into the Mississippi River on Aug. 1, 2007, accepted pieces of the bridge from state officials Wednesday.
Dahl, whose back was broken in the disaster, said she hoped engineers had been able to use the parts to figure out what caused the bridge to fall.
"They needed to find out how what has caused this to happen so that it doesn't ever, ever happen again to anybody," she said.
Dahl's daughter, Arrianna Merritt, now 16, and her younger brother were on a school bus their mother was driving for a summer program when the bridge gave way during the afternoon rush hour.
Wednesday, the teen said she was still in disbelief over the collapse that killed 13 people and injured 145.
"I kind of don't even think I'm here — I think it's just a dream," Merritt said as she stood in a warehouse in Oakdale, among tons of twisted, sheared steel painted army green, recalling images she'll never forget.
"You saw the cars, and you saw the bridge, but everything else was just kind of gone; you didn't know where it went, " said Merritt, who suffered a concussion. "Then you saw all the people stranded on little pieces of concrete, and you worried about if they were going to get off or not."
More coming in September
About two dozen survivors and representatives of victims were expected Wednesday at the warehouse owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) in Oakdale to collect pieces of the twisted steel, with another 10 or so slated to collect some in September, said Kevin Gutknecht, a spokesman for the agency.
"Hopefully it's done and over with and out of our lives," Merritt said as her father loaded up hunks of steel to drive home.
The man who dreamed up the distribution, Brent Olson, was there gathering up pieces as well. He and wife Chris Olson, both 64, were on the span near downtown when it fell all around them.
Olson contacted former MnDOT Commissioner Tom Sorrel and Gutknecht several times over the years with a request that survivors or their families be given pieces of the bridge that fell after a gusset plate failed.
Wednesday, that plate, which is a thick sheet of steel used to connect beams and girders, was among the struts, sheared bolts and other pieces eligible for distribution.
Gutknecht said the last of the lawsuit claims were recently paid, and that, along with a new state law, made it possible to distribute the state-owned property to those directly affected, including first responders.
Universities, civic groups and the Minnesota Historical Society also are eligible for the steel.
State officials expect to give away 121 tons of the 3,380 tons of steel. The rest will be sold to metal recyclers for roughly $645,000 to cover a fraction of the millions in compensation paid to survivors.

- 3/4 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup(s) soft goat cheese (2 ounces)
- 2 teaspoon(s) chopped fresh rosemary
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon(s) butter
- 4 cup(s) mixed wild mushrooms, coarsely chopped
- 1 large leek, white part only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced and thoroughly washed
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 cup(s) white wine
- 10 ounce(s) thawed phyllo dough (see Timing Tip)
- 1/4 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup(s) plain dry breadcrumbs
- Combine ricotta, goat cheese, rosemary and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, leek, and salt and cook, stirring, until the leek starts to soften and the mushrooms release their juices, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and simmer until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet (approximately 12 by 17 inches) with parchment paper. Lay one large sheet of phyllo on the prepared pan. (If using the smaller size, slightly overlap two sheets to form a rectangle.) Keep the remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap or wax paper and a damp kitchen towel.
- Lightly coat the phyllo with oil using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon breadcrumbs. Repeat this step, layering the remaining phyllo on top. Carefully roll about 3/4 inch of each side toward the center to form the outer rim of the tart.
- Spread the reserved cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo. Top with the reserved mushroom mixture.
- Bake the tart until the crust is brown and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. To serve, lift the parchment paper and slide the tart onto a cutting board or large platter. Serve warm.
Tips & Techniques
Timing tip: Thaw frozen phyllo (in its package) at room temperature for 2 hours or in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight before preparing the recipe.

In our community garden we have no access to downspouts for rain water collections. Any ideas for other sources of collection? |

If you have a fence, a sheet of plastic and some 5-gallons buckets or clean garbage cans, cut the sheet of plastic into lengths about 1.5 times as wide as your container. You will have to see what the length should be when you put it together. Clothespin the short edge securely along the top of the fence, draw the rest of the piece out at an angle (to catch the water), set the 'tail' of the plastic in the bucket, and set a large, smooth rock on the end of the tail to hold it down (otherwise, the wind will blow it out). While more horizontal plastic will catch the most rain, it will also tend to catch it and hold it, sagging between the fence and the bucket. You will need to experiment just how long and at what angle is best. Otherwise, if there is a shed or building nearby, see where the water pours off the roof and put a garbage can under it. If you do have some kind of structure, contact a local guttering company and explain the problem. Not only do they install new gutters, they have to remove and discard all the old guttering. Maybe they can pick out a few decent pieces and you can install them. Sue |

I'd check out Brad Lancaster's Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2, Rainwater Harvesting Earthworks. It talks about how to store the rain in the ground, with no needed cistern tanks, tubing or collection surface, other than the ground. The book has lots of variations on the theme depending on your particular situation. Brad's website itself has a lot of information. Though I haven't read them, there are several books out there on rain gardens with probably similar ideas. |

Let there be no mistake. There can be no justification for stopping an Indian citizen from unfurling the country's flag, a fundamental right, wherever he or she chooses. Even if one understands J&K CM Omar Abdullah's valid concern about disturbance of a fragile peace, pleading inability to protect rights of Indians is dereliction of duty. The central government – by its inaction, ambivalence and spinelessness – has made matters worse. If the only people offended are the separatists, why should the rest of India back down? A very valid question. I ended up reading a bit on this "issue" in the last few days, and found these blogs/articles as reasonably representing several sides of the debate.
A must-read series of tweets from @retributions where he says
If the message is that Indian nation needs to tip-toe around its own flag, it is not a particularly assuring message.
plus much more.
@pragmatic_d (who examines various aspects of the debate and argues for patience)
Not allowing the flag to be hoisted can at best be a temporary tactic; it can not be a long-term strategy or used as an example in the future
INI Blogger Harsh Gupta (who makes a blistering case for hoisting the flag)
What makes us think that things could improve in a decade or so in a region where the youth are against the hoisting of the national flag?
@bdutt (who points out that hoisting the tricolour in Kashmir is not a rare occurrence)
The sudden determination to hoist the tricolour at Srinagar's Lal Chowk on Republic Day also creates a false impression that the Indian flag is not unfurled in the Valley, as it is everywhere else in the country
and @greatbong who asks in his post
"Do you think the Dandi March was an undesirable act of provocation—-after all it too was a political move, of purely symbolic value (like the flag-hoisting), one that everyone knew would cause trouble, whose express intent was to aggressively mobilize public opinion?
The J&K State Government/Congress-led Central Government and the BJP have adopted hard stances from which they cannot back down any more - the Government(s), because of a shakily rational and defeaningly spineless fear of a potential separatist backlash (which it is duty-bound to protect India and Indians from) and the BJP, hitting upon another emotive issue, a win-win situation irrespective of the outcome. One may call this a political self-goal by the Congress and a master-stroke by the BJP (in a smaller context) or the perfect partnership of dumb (BJP) and dumber (Congress/Omar Abdullah) in a larger context – the simple fact is that one group is obstinate about going ahead with its plans, and the other group has decided to abdicate its duty towards its citizens and the constitution. And it was entirely avoidable if reasonable positions had been adopted.
One cannot predict how this is going to play out but let's not deceive ourselves into thinking that this is about patriotism, because when politicians get involved, patriotism becomes a sideshow and the Indian flag merely a rag.

College Football Recruiting: South Carolina Lands Joe Blue
Well, the first football recruit for the Class of 2014 is in for the South Carolina Gamecocks as Joe Blue gave his pledge to be a future Gamecock.
Blue, 6-foot 235 lbs., chose USC over scholarship offers from the likes of Auburn, Florida, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech. He played linebacker out of Dillion HS and was rated the No. 20 ILB in the country by 247Sports. He could get a look at fullback at USC as he was a hard-nosed running back in high school and with his type size-speed combo it could earn him a look on the offensive side of the ball.
He will be joining fellow Dillon teammates D.J. Park, Bryce King and Kwinton Smith in Columbia.
Here is a highlight reel of him to get a idea of what kind of player USC is getting:

Don't Set Your Hot Water Above This Temperature
Have you checked the temperature of your hot water recently? According to Ambit Energy, an energy provider in deregulated states across the United States, the water heater eats up as much as 25 percent of your home's annual energy costs.
To chip away at that percentage, lower the water heater temperature to 120° Fahrenheit. At this temperature, the shower will still get hot enough (chances are you won't even notice the difference) but you'll be saving both money and energy.
