We're holding a test day for Fedora 16 OpenStack today on #fedora-test-day.
Fedora 16 OpenStack Test Day
October 20th, 2011 by markmcGerrit Patch Review From The Command Line
September 25th, 2011 by markmcOpenStack Nova switched from bzr and launchpad to github and gerrit on Friday. While I'm delighted the project is using git now, I've always found the gerrit UI to be a bit of a pain.
On IRC, Monty Taylor mentioned the gerrit command line interface which looked fairly interesting. Sure enough, you can actually review and approve a patch using this without ever touching the web UI. Below is an example of reviewing a Glance patch, but the same thing would work for Nova.
First, you obviously need to clone the repo:
$> git clone git://github.com/openstack/glance.git $> cd glance
To make life a little easier, you can add a host alias to your SSH config:
$> cat >> ~/.ssh/config <<EOF Host review Hostname review.openstack.org Port 29418 User markmc EOF
Then add the gerrit server as a git remote:
$> git remote add -f gerrit ssh://markmc@review/openstack/glance.git
Okay, now browse the patches needing review:
$> ssh review gerrit query status:open project:openstack/glance | less
Once you've picked a patch, take it's Change-Id: and look at its patch sets and reviews:
$> ssh review gerrit query status:open project:openstack/glance \ change:I27bb6b3951422ad32e5e0225765b1056c5b3ffc5 \ --current-patch-set --all-approvals | less
Then, using the 'ref' in the output, you can fetch the patches into your repo and review them:
$> git fetch gerrit refs/changes/36/636/2 $> git checkout -b git-authors FETCH_HEAD
Once you're ready to submit your review, you can do:
$> git checkout master $> git branch -D git-authors $> ssh review gerrit review --code-review +1 -m "'Looks good to me.'" cd9b3a0f2fb91d0d01606ef4bbd90cf8f29267da
That's all pretty neat, but I'm missing how to go about doing a detailed review with comments inline with quoted sections of code. Perhaps if 'gerrit review' could take the review comments over stdin?
Git Rebasing (cont.)
February 26th, 2011 by markmcAs I said already, git's interactive rebase tool is seriously useful for preparing a nice, cleanly split up series of patches. And, despite some people's dire warnings, there's no reason not to share an in-progress patch series using git so long as you take care to warn others against relying on your tree not rebasing.
Why would a patch series not be complete? One reason might be that a patch introduces a regression. As they say, you often have to break some eggs to make an omelette but, if you value the power of git's bisection tool, you'll want each individual patch to be regression free.
Okay, say you're porting an application from one database framework to another. You might do a bunch of hacking to demonstrate the concept and then send that work out for comment. Only at this point will you go about figuring out polishing the work off and, finally, cleaning the changes up into a nice patch series.
This approach implies that the work will only stop rebasing quite late in the day. Which leaves a problem – how can you possibly collaborate with others if your tree is rebasing? How can you take patches to fix regressions? How can others help you clean up the series?
Here's one suggestion, based on an approach Stephen Tweedie came up with when we were working together on a series of patches:
- Say your branch is called fluffy-piglet. You've pushed it out and asked for comments. Don't rebase this branch again.
- Create another branch called fluffy-piglet-rebasing, basing it initially on fluffy-piglet.
- Tag both branches with e.g. a -v1 suffix, check that the trees in both tags are identical:
$> git diff fluffy-piglet fluffy-piglet-rebasing $> git show -s --format='%t' fluffy-piglet fluffy-piglet-rebasing
- Push the rebasing branch and the v1 tags to your repo.
- If you wish to rebase and do some cleanup work on the patches, do so and tag and push the result to the fluffy-piglet-rebasing branch in your repo as in (3) and (4), but using a new suffix.
- If you receive some patches, pull them into your fluffy-piglet branch, tag the result and rebase the patches onto the rebasing branch e.g.
$> git tag fluffy-piglet-v3 $> git rebase --onto fluffy-piglet-rebasing-v2 fluffy-piglet-v2 $> git tag fluffy-piglet-rebasing-v3
- If you wish to rebase unto latest upstream, you could first enable git's "reuse recorded resolution" feature:
$> git config --global rerere.enabled true
Then you rebase the rebasing branch:
$> git checkout fluffy-piglet-rebasing $> git rebase upstream/master $> git tag fluffy-piglet-rebasing-v4
And then, you merge upstream into the non-rebasing branch:
$> git checkout fluffy-piglet $> git merge upstream/master $> git tag fluffy-piglet-v4
As in (3), you should be able to verify that the two resulting trees are identical.
If any conflicts needed to be resolved during rebasing, there's a good chance that having rerere enabled will mean the conflict will be automatically resolved when merging.
- Finally, if anyone wants to help you with any of the series cleanup work, just 'pass the baton'. You basically say, 'No more rebasing from me after v4, go ahed' and the other person can work away on the rebasing branch until they are ready to pass control back again.
This certainly isn't a straightforward workflow, but it gives you:
- The ability to work with others since folks have a non-rebasing branch to work against
- The ability to clean up a series using rebase while still having confidence that nothing is being screwed up because you have the pair of tags with identical tree contents
- The ability to allow others to help clean up the series too
The fact that this workflow is so awkward has its advantages too – it encourages you to clean up the series early and stop rebasing it. This is not a workflow you'd like to use for an extended period of time.
Git Rebasing
February 23rd, 2011 by markmcFor me, 'git rebase -i' is perhaps git's killer feature. I'm a big fan of small, self-contained commits both for ease of patch review and for the sake of useful commit history later. I used to do this on CVS using quilt but git takes a huge amount of the pain out of it.
Ever since I discovered the feature a few years ago, I've also been vaguely aware of kernel developers advice to people on rebase … often simplified to OMG no. Never rebase..
When pushed to elaborate, I guess most would say:
Once you share a commit with someone, never rebase it. They may base their work on your commit and by rebasing it, you're screwing everything up.
One memorable comment from Linus on the subject was "Have the f*cking back-bone to be able to stand behind what you did!".
In context, this all makes sense. If a kernel developer sends a pull request and it gets merged into one tree, then rebases and that gets merged into another tree and both get merged into Linus's tree … then yes, you have a bit of a disaster on your hands.
However, I think the rules above are too simplistic for most git newbies. Such newbies are unlikely to see their trees pulled into the whirling vortex of kernel trees so there's no need to terrify them about using rebase.
My advice is:
- If you're learning git, take the time to understand the rebase command and, especially, the interactive option.
- If you're working on a series of patches, it's perfectly fine for you to share that series with others even if it's not finished. That means later rebasing a commit you've shared with others.
- If you're worried people might base their work on a commit you plan to rebase later, then you warn people by putting e.g. "v1″, "rebases" or "rebasing" in the repository or branch name.
- If someone does base their work on a commit you have rebased, then point them at the Recovering From Upstream Rebase part of git-rebase(1). It's really not the end of the world, especially in the simpler cases.
Our Bizarre Posting Conventions
February 17th, 2011 by markmcI've been around open source mailing lists for so long now that I tend to forget that our conventions around sending plain text emails, quoting replies, threading, etc. aren't necessarily obvious to everyone out there.
That's especially true for some of the folks working on RHEV-M, many of whom have come from a Windows development background. I eventually realized that saying "just do what everyone else does" wasn't really good enough and spent some time documenting what all those little conventions are.
I've posted some guidelines to the rhevm-api wiki. What am I missing?
Error Handling
February 15th, 2011 by markmcI came across a fairly typical error handling mistake today and thought I'd share it.
The code was something like this:
class Factory { static Foo getFoo() { try { // load a .properties file, read a key from it ... return new Foo(propValue); } catch (Exception ex) { log.error("Failed to find key in properties file: " + ex.toString()); return null; } } }
and the caller did e.g.
The thing to note here is that the caller is assuming that getFoo() method never returns null.
That's probably a good assumption on the part of the caller. The factory method should always succeed unless there is a programmer error (e.g. the key does not exist in the .properties file) or a system error (e.g. an I/O error accessing the file). Neither of which the caller should be expected to handle gracefully. That's what exceptions are for!
In the event of an error, we'd get a NullPointerException from the caller site and an error printed to the logfile. If, for example, you are running this code in a debugger, you'll be looking at a NullPointerException with no clue as to what caused the exception.
The moral of the story here is to think clearly about when errors should be handled gracefully and when you should just let exceptions be passed back up the stack.
In the end, I added a new exception type:
class FactoryException extends RuntimeException { private static final String ERROR_MSG = "Failed to lookup key {0} in file {1}"; private String propsFile; private String propsKey; FactoryException(String propsFile, String key, Throwable cause) { super(MessageFormat.format(ERROR_MSG, propsFile, key), cause); this.propsFile = propsFile; this.propsKey = propsKey; } String getPropsFile() { return propsFile; } String getPropsKey() { return propsKey; } }
and then re-factored the original code:
class Factory { static Foo getFoo() { try { // load a .properties file, read a key from it ... return new Foo(propValue); } catch (Exception ex) { throw new FactoryException(propsFile, propsKey, ex); } } }
so now if there is an error, rather than getting a fairly useless NullPointerException you get:
FactoryException: Failed to lookup key foo in file bar.properties ... Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: ...
If Knowledge is Power …
January 16th, 2011 by markmcIf knowledge is power, then sharing your knowledge empowers others.
In the open-source world, each of us endeavours to strengthen the communities to which we contribute. There is no better way to strengthen a community than empowering your fellow contributors with your knowledge.
There are no excuses in the open-source world for not sharing your knowledge. Our tools and processes are designed to make this happen naturally.
Having discussions on a mailing list allows other contributors to benefit from the information being shared in the discussion. It also ensures that information is archived for future contributors.
Detailed commit messages ensures that current and future developers can fully understand your reasoning for a given change. Pushing your in-progress work to a public branch allows others to take the work on and finish it, even if you don't have time.
Thinking out loud in bugzilla means that even if your work is not complete on the problem, others can run with your initial ideas or analysis.
Using a public wiki for note taking and giving others access to your jumbled up thoughts, ideas, hints and tips is a great way to open your brain to the world.
A nice side-effect of all this is that if your knowledge is shared openly and archived, you don't need to have such a good memory!
RISE UP & SHARE by alyceobvious
In other contexts, it might be good practice to jealously guard your knowledge. If you're the guy that everyone has to come to because you're the one guy who knows how to do something, that's good for your job security, right? Surely, if you share your knowledge freely, that means anyone can do your job?
This is the exact opposite to what should motivate you as you contribute to a community. You absolutely do want to make it possible for others to come along and kick your ass. If somebody appears out of nowhere and starts doing your job better than you could ever have done, then that is an absolutely awesome outcome!
REST API For RHEV-M
June 21st, 2010 by markmcToday, Eoghan Glynn and I announced the first milestone release of a REST API for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
The only current API for RHEV-M is a Windows Powershell plugin which provides a perfectly fine scripting interface for RHEV-M on Windows, but isn't so easy to call remotely or to integrate with another application. By adding a REST API, we're adding an integration interface which we hope everyone will find convenient to use.
If you have a 2.2 installation of RHEV-M, it's a quick and painless process to download our distribution, deploy the WAR to an Java EE application server (e.g. JBoss EAP or AS) and play around with our Apache Felix Karaf based shell. You can also read the API reference guide and jump on our mailing list to give us feedback.
RHEV-M isn't yet an open-source project, so we've had to put a lot of effort into making it possible to develop this REST API in the open. We've concentrated our initial efforts on API design and building a prototype implementation of the API on top of the Powershell interface in 2.2. However, in time for the next release of RHEV-M, our plan is to add a compatible implementation of the API directly to the RHEV-M backend. At that time, the API will be a fully supported part of the product.
If you care about integrating with RHEV-M, now is the time to get involved with the API project. While the API is already quite well defined, there is buckets of scope for design changes and adding new features. And, most of all, we want your help!
Porting RHEV-M from C# to Java
April 12th, 2010 by markmcLately, I've been doing what I can to help finish the massive effort to port RHEV-M from C# to Java. Check out Livnat Peer's blog describing the various approaches considered and how the team settled on using a semi-automatic conversion process.
Reporting Fedora Virtualization Bugs
January 14th, 2009 by markmcWhen reporting bugs against Fedora, the BugsAndFeatureRequests wiki page is a great place to get some information on the kind of things you can do to provide useful information in the bug report.
I've just added a page on reporting virtualization bugs. Hopefully it'll help people find narrow down bugs, log files, get debug spew etc.
And, of course, it's a wiki page – so go ahead and add your own tips!

The top trends of the past week had a distinct bohemian influence, whether that be in the form of a gorgeously designed terrarium or photo shoots that featured strongly textured garments.
Straying from the many airy, whimsical trends covered on the site, however, was a t-shirt line that parodied major, expensive fashion labels with slightly altered logos. Instead of reading 'Hermes,' one tee reads 'Hotmes,' a small but important (and hilarious) distinction.
One of the creepiest designs to premiere this week was a Halloween-worthy set of tongs made to look like two severed hands. No doubt, it was the shock value of this article that drew viewers in.

Actor Jiiva is making sure he signs up only the right film post the success of his Ko. We hear he's choosing his characters wisely and is keen on experimenting.
While he will be seen playing a superhero in Mysskin's forthcoming Mugamoodi, Gautham Menon's Neethaane En Ponvasantham reportedly has him in the role of a hardcore romantic.
And now, Jiiva has gone ahead and signed Bejoy Nambiar's David. The Shaitan director, who is known for boldly sketching the characters in his film, has also cast Vikram in the film, which is touted to be a gangster comedy. We hear Jiiva will start work on the film after he completes his pending commitments.
"I've only signed up to be part of the Tamil and Telugu versions of David. I won't be part of its Hindi version," is all Jiiva says when we quizzed him about his role in the film.

Aldridge coming to the Spurs is intriguing, but to think that Tim and Manu would play for the veteran's minimum is short sighted to say the least. They are way too good; the Spurs FO would not even insult them with such offers. Both retiring or one retiring with a deal involving another starter/first line player and picks would be the only way to get it done.
Heat fans #1, seriously? Frankly, I think the Forbes rankings are garbage. Their rankings more or less resemble the regurgitation of the ESPN machine with its LeBron obsession. I don't know any serious sports fans who would label Heat fans as the best. Can you say bandwagon jumpers? We know all about the attractions of South Beach, but Miami is not even a great sports town. The U of Miami football used to be the hottest ticket back in the day. The Marlins have been to the World Series a couple of times, but I wouldn't consider them diehard either. Dolphins haven't been must-see football since Dan Marino retired. In a word, I'm just not buying what Forbes is smoking on this one. I'm not totally sold on Spurs fans being so high, but I am CERTAIN that Heat fans are not #1!
Put in this context, the scheduling seems contrived against the Spurs. Why do the Spurs have more B2Bs than the other contenders? With Kawhi and Tony, the Spurs probably win most of those games anyway. It's not like we're getting blown out; the lack of depth just results in close losses that are normally wins. When everybody is healthy, I still like our chances to repeat.
Didn't like so many starters sitting against the Trailblazers. The reserves held their for much of the game, but ultimately, didn't have enough juice. The losses to bad teams are exactly why I'm concerned about Pop's pattern; making up ground is going to get more difficult as the season goes on.
It happens, but they lost to a bad basketball team. Better execution down the stretch was needed to pull this one out. I didn't believe it was possible for the Spurs to play this poorly on offense. It looked like the Sixers.
Despite everything the Spurs did wrong this was still a winnable game. Simply getting key rebounds and making an extra bucket could have changed the outcome.
Was anyone else surprised that Danny Green and Matt Bonner stayed on the bench for last play? Even if you run the same play for Manu, he is bound to have more shooting room because you had to respect the other 3 point shooters.
Anthony Davis is a good comparison. People rave over Davis, but Duncan entered the NBA as one of the league's best players. On a different team than the Spurs, Duncan's stats would be even higher. People don't realize how good Duncan really is or has been. Across our five NBA titles, no one would ever call the Spurs roster, the NBA's most talented. In his prime, Tim Duncan paired with anybody was a serious contender for the NBA title. Davis is not THAT good. Carmelo was never that good. KG was never that good. I could go on. Duncan is such a complete basketball player that his dominance goes beyond what stats show. If Timmy had the crazy athleticism that many of today's overrated big men have (e.g. Josh Smith, old KG, JaVale McGhee, old Amare), basketball would have been unfair.
Hanga and Bertans are consistently the overseas guys I want to see added to the Spurs roster.
Yep, Baynes was covering Davis at the end of the game. And protested to Pop from my living room BEFORE he hit the go ahead bucket. I wanted to see Duncan on him. Timmy is lighter in weight and older, but he's a smarter defensive player. Baynes is athletic for a big guy but it doesn't show on defense; he's hacking people or they're out-positioning him to get the shots they want. Games like the last two are why I wanted the Spurs to sign Gustave Ayon. As bad as we were offensively, I was puzzled by Anderson not getting any playing time. Cory Joseph showed some toughness last night. Daye is really being exposed; he still can't make a shot when it counts.
Was no fan of Pop sitting Duncan and Manu in this game against a division foe, especially with our depleted roster. What do they need rest for? We've only played 4 games in like 3 weeks. NBA scheduling is stupid; why are the Spurs waiting 4-5 days to play their next game then hit with a back to back?
This game was poorly played offensively from the get go. Defense wasn't bad, considering the big mismatch advantages in Houston's favor. This game was a scheduled loss. TNT didn't get its money's worth on this one.
.know his game enough to be sure, but unless, he's a major upgrade. I doubt very seriously that he'll make the squad. For comparison purposes, I was high on the Mexican kid, Gustave Ayon, because he had shown he could compete at the NBA level and was impressive at FIBA tourney over the summer........
I just hope Anderson can get some playing time in the Spurs second game. I am anxious to see his reaction in a real game situation. I liked the poise he displayed in the pre-season. He even made some plays defensively.
Bertans' game is really growing. Despite the knee injury, he still has hops. I thought he was too skinny at first, but he doesn't get pushed around on the court. The second coming of Matt Bonner? Not! Bertan's offensive game is already more expansive than Bonner's. His sweet shooting stroke is complemented by good ball handling and passing skills. His game has more potential to resemble Dirk Nowitski's than Bonner. Also, like the fact that he checks in regularly with the Spurs coaches and works out with the team a couple of times during the year.
Several of the veteran players worked out, like Earl Clark, Michael Beasley, Hakim Warrick plus a few no-name players are not among the list. What happened to them? The Spurs FO puts continuity above everything else, because I definitely felt that guys like Clark and even Andray Blatche would have been front court upgrades over Ayres and Bonner, perhaps Daye as well, which is why I was disappointed when Ayon signed overseas. I'm probably splitting hairs over the roster; it is afterall a championship roster as is.
Totally delusional. Harden didn't even start for the Thunder. The addition of Dwight Howard also demonstrates that he is NOT a franchise player. Franchise players make any team a contender all by themselves. Harden is not first team All-NBA, in my opinion, but his OFFENSIVE skills are tremendous. He has not shown me much as a team leader, even if he's the Rockets' best player.
@Spursfan66 @jaws3 Oh, if it's $1.6 per year, then I understand. That's more than Baynes offer sheet. Strike my original comment if that's the case. I'm kinda bummed about this one. I hadn't paid much attention to Ayon, until the rumors, but from the footage I have seen, he's a better two-way player than Ayres or Baynes. His skill set suggested to me that I could get more than just mop up time minutes. Oh, well....
A "lucrative" $600,000 per year contract to play in Spain? Ayon is a kid from Mexico; do you know how much money he's missing in salary plus endorsements playing in San Antonio for the world champs? The Spurs' Mexican fans would have gone berserk for this guy. Add the benefits of playing under Pop and learning from Tim Duncan every day, and this one becomes a head-scratcher for me.
Ayon was intriguing to me, but after his performance against the USA team at FIBA, I was convinced that he could really be an impact player. My concern is his history of injuries, but having played for the Hawks, I think Ayon can more easily adjust to the Spurs system.
I also on board with getting an upgrade over Ayres. I like Ayers energy; he's a good teammate and hard worker, but his stone hands on offense and foul prone ways are just frustrating. Some Spurs fans are coming down hard on Austin Daye, but Daye still has more upside than Ayres.
Can wait for training camp and all this to shake out.
I'd be sad to see Baynes go, but I also believe that we have several guys among training camp prospects that I think would be an upgrade over the Baynes-Ayres-Bonner trio in our front court. The Spurs roster is solid, but switch in Earl Clark, Ayon, and JaMychal for the above three, and I think you have a group of better 2-way players, probably for less money. If the Spurs do nothing new, I'm still okay with that.
Yes, performance against US team opened my eyes, particularly because he played without fear against some pretty athletic bigs on the US side. Still think we need a SF, but good 2-way big men are hard to find. That's why I think the the Spurs might be interested.
BTW, surprised that Andray Blatche has not gotten a look from the Spurs. He was solid for the Nets that last couple of years after some not so great years with the Wizards. He was rumored to be a good fit for the Spurs before eventually signing with the Nets.
Now, this workout interests me, because I thought for years Earl Clark would fit nicely as backup for the Spurs. I agree with whoever said he would be an upgrade over Jeff Ayres. Ayres gives hustle and energy but has stone hands on offense. Jamychal Green could do as well.
I don't see Ray Allen ending up here, and I was a little surprised that Matt Bonner was resigned. I expected the Spurs FO to add a couple more younger players to the fold, before Timmy and Manu really retire.
Not sure what to make out the Baynes situation, Baynes has kinda grown on me over the last couple of years. His athleticism is under-rated.
I really like the collection of training camp invitees and workout candidates, including Hakim Warrick, Ayon and others. I could like with one of these guys being added to our roster. I would also be okay with bringing back Alonzo Gee. It's great not to have many roster holes to fill.
I was excited about Pau Gasol possibly coming to the Spurs. I don't feel the same about Ray Allen at 39. You can get the same productivity from a better two-way player.
No-risk move. Warrick would be a decent and versatile backup in the front court. If he doesn't work out, no harm done.
I'm really intrigued by Hanga's game. I love his highlights, but since he's never been in summer league, it's hard to gauge his progress. Bertans seems to be more of a sure thing, because he comes over here 2-3 times a year and works out for the Spurs and talks with training staff, etc. I'm not sure if Hanga is seriously considering the NBA as an option.
I really liked the energy that Green brought in summer league. He was our most consistent performer, doing alittle bit of everything well.
The 5th title stands out above all the others to me. The first title in 1999 was the second best to me, especially sweeping Shaq and the Lakers on the way, followed by 2003, which was also special to send the Admiral out as a champion. I could go either way on the other two. When I look back on the championships, there doesn't seem to be any year where the Spurs had the NBA's most talented squad, yet we won anyway. We have integrated so many no-name players and over-the-hill vets to get to the playoffs EVERY year and win five NBA titles! Wow.
Among our foreign stash players, I have enjoyed watching clips of Bertans and Adam Hanga the most. I think both guys can be solid NBA players. I'm not holding my breath for Ryan Richards, like some other Spurs fans. It seems that the foreign players are learning the fundamentals of basketball better than our American phenoms. High flying slam dunks are fun to watch, but too many lottery picks are based solely on athletic talent, rather than productivity on the court.
Agreed. I think Thibodeaux in Chicago, might have a roll for Gasol, but I don't see a fit with the Thunder, and who know's what the Heat will have. Does the signing of Josh McRoberts make them a less likely destination for Gasol. Situation would be great for Gasol because, he'd only have to play about 20 minutes per game and wouldn't have to carry the team at all. His strengths also mesh with the Spurs system of play.
This signing was a big surprise, but not a headscratcher. Cotton did so many things for Providence, much like the more heralded Shabazz Napier. His small size is a negative, but he's as big as Allen Iverson and TJ Ford, when they came out of college. Cotton is a 4-year college player, strong BB IQ, team leader. Just seems like the kind of player the Spurs would value. I was surprised that he went undrafted, because he performed well against teams with lottery picks.
@JamesMcGahan You're right. Bonner did do okay THIS post season, but I really think it's a product of not needing him to do too much. 5-8 minutes per game sounds right, but when we had to play him for 15-20 minutes per game, BIG PROBLEM,
With the young and upcoming front court players that the Spurs have either drafted or signed, I think it's time for the Red Mamba era to end. Bonner is a good guy for team chemistry and locker room, and he knows his role on the Spurs. But he, along with several others who are no longer on the roster, disappeared in post season. In retrospect, he never should have been an NBA starter, and probably not the first guy off the bench. Thanks for your contributions, Red Mamba, but I'd rather see one of the young guys get a shot.
Really liked this pick. Even before draft, in watching Kyle Anderson play for UCLA I said out loud that he would look good playing in the Spurs system. Viola! He's our number one draft choice. Anderson plays with such intelligence that his game is easy to admire. I think he's an under-rated athlete because he doesn't jump out the gym. He'll need to get stronger, but he understands how to use his length and stuff that's hard to teach like passing angles, situational basketball, and game tempo.
As a fan, the four missed free throws seemed like the turning point for me. Instead of building a cushion on our lead, I think it breathed extra life into the Heat, because the game remained up for grabs. Lebron played sensational, and that will of course be the headlines tomorrow, but the fact remains that the Heat BARELY beat the Spurs, even with Lebron doing his messiah impression. Bosh played a great game as well. The Heat have to play extremely well to beat us, so I still feel good about the Spurs winning in 6.
I feel bad for Ibaka. Without him, OKC is definitely put at a disadvantage. I want the Spurs to beat the best at their best. That being said, I'm tired already of hearing about Ibaka, because no one gives the Spurs the same benefit of a doubt. Game 7 of last year's NBA finals might have been different if Dwayne Wade's knees gave out, instead of Tony Parker's hamstring. Commentators are quick to talk about the Spurs being ousted in the first round of the 2011 playoffs, but hardly mention that Manu broke his arm the last game of the regular season was rendered less effective because of it.
Injuries happen in professional sports. That's the breaks. It just feels like the media is already making room for the Thunder to have an excuse when they lose, but they absolutely do not care if we have injured players.
I don't disagree with most of your solution suggestions, but I just not have been impressed by the Spurs' intensity. Except for part of game three, it seems that the Mavs are playing with playoff intensity, and we're still playing the regular season. The Spurs are the better team, but the Mavs are playing harder, with more energy, more hunger. Despite everything, I still don't see the Spurs losing this series.
Carter made a great shot. Hats off to him. My problem was the and 1 the refs awarded Ellis on a jump shot where he created the contact against Diaw. Plus, Manu was fouled on his go ahead layup; it wasn't incidental contact either.
Nevertheless, I felt like the Mavs outworked us and played like the hungrier team for most of the game. It wasn't a lucky win. They earned it.
Why would RC leave? Why would he mess up a good thing? He has missed on a few players (e.g. Jackie Blair, Richard Jefferson), but the front office is overall stellar. He really has a clear vision about the culture of the franchise. Even our recent pickup of complementary players and the ones we have stashed overseas has me excited about the future of the Spurs. We are one big free agent signing from seamlessly transitioning to a post-Duncan era (after months of crying and mourning the day TD finally retires).
I love Manu and Tony, but they're not better than Dirk. Technically, Hakeem is the best international player ever in my opinion. Remember that he started out playing soccer in Africa, and didn't pick up basketball until he was a teenager coming to the U.S.
For what's its worth, Damien James has seemed to be more impactful than previous hopefuls Malcolm Thomas and Othyus Jeffers. Austin Daye has been more hesitant on his shots lately. Daye has great length, but lacks the strength that James has.
James has made some decent contributions for his very short time with the Spurs. He was a good scorer in college, so I think he can recapture that part of his game with some work. His strong skills as a rebounder and his athleticism are already on display. He does have the skill set to be a very good defender. Let's see what happens...
I was just so impressed with the Spurs fighting back to take this one. We played like it was a must win game for us. That's playoff mentality basketball! Kawhi Leonard is playing the way Paul George was playing BEFORE the all-star break. Ready for all takers. Looking forward to the Rockets game on Monday.
The Thunder have tremendous length and strong perimeter defense to disrupt our passing game, plus they have a plethora of good shooters to complement the NBA's most prolific scorer in Kevin Durant. That being said, I think the Spurs play with "fear" and timidness when facing the Thunder. Our shooters play too tight and hesitate too much. We overpass. Patty Mills was effective, because he just played his normal game, not worrying about getting his shot blocked. Lastly, Pop's lineups against the Thunder were just whack in the second half. Didn't understand his third quarter combinations, which led to the Thunder gaining the lead, then in the fourth TD and Parker never come back in.
Yes, they are a tough matchup, but if the Spurs play with energy, spacing, and mental toughness they'll be okay. Did you see all the turnovers converted to points off Spurs making lazy passes or passes where the angle just simply wasn't there? If we limit the fastbreak points, the game will be ours. Our defense really wasn't all that bad, considering the giveaway points from our offense.
Thunder lost to the Rockets the following night with Dwight Howard on the bench.
Actually, I'd rather Pop take a chance on Austin Daye, then keep Bonner on the playoff roster. The Red Mamba has just taken the post season exam and failed too many times for me to be excited about him as the last man off the bench. I like the toughness and size that Baynes brings. I was disappointed to not see Daye match up with Kevin Durant or Baynes bang inside against OKC's front court due to their injuries.
How come no one mentions that Patty Mills missed the entire playoffs last year due to injury?
I wonder if there is some mental baggage among the Spurs players. Yes, the Thunder are athletic and have great length, but too often, I watch Spurs hesitate on shots and sometimes over-pass the ball on offense. If we can attack the Heat and Pacers, we can do the same against the Thunder. I think we have Ibaka on the brain, We have to either make Ibaka play more 1-on-1 defense or make sure someone puts a body on him; most of his blocks are from the off-side.
I saw sloppiness on offense, lazy passes, passes where the angle obviously was not there, but we tried to force it anyway. Our defense wasn't really that bad. The Thunder scored 100+ due our multiple turnovers, not because we couldn't get stops. The Thunder like to gamble on the passing lanes and we obliged them without crisp offense.
The refs were NOT the reason we lost, but I'm so frustrated with calls against the Spurs EVERY time we play the Thunder. How does Duncan receive the double technical? I have watched Ibaka pin the ball to the backboard in several games against the Spurs, and no goal tending is called. We got the lead down to 9 in the 4th quarter, and Russell Westbrook runs over Patty Mills to get the ball and make a reverse dunk. Was I the only person in America who thought it was CLEARLY a foul on Westbrook?
That's my two cents. I remain confident that the Spurs would handle them in a 7-game series.
Turnovers were the difference. Pop never brought all the starters back after mid-way 3rd quarter. I hate when Pop waves the white flag when we have a chance at coming back. Caron Butler helped the Thunder in subtle ways. Parker and Duncan shot horribly tonight, so did Marco, which only made floor spacing worse.
Coming out of college, I thought James would be a decent NBA player, not a superstar but a guy that we have a decent career as a secondary option among starters or the first or second guy off the bench. Since his injury issues, I had forgotten about him. I thought he was considered to have more upside than James Anderson out of OK State who used to be with us and certainly more highly regarded than our CuJo, a PG out from University of Texas.
JoJo, I was thinking the same thing, that Bertans was 6'10". His game actually reminds me more of Tom Chambers from the old Seattle Sonics than Dirk Nowitzski. Smooth long-range shoot motion, but can also create off the dribble. Good athleticism that shows up on the defensive end. He already looks like a better all-around player than Ryan Richards and some of our other overseas draft picks.
No surprise, here. With Pop solidifying the roster in preparation for the playoffs, Daye wasn't likely to get many minutes. Going to the Toros will enable him to get lots of playing time, while learning the system. I really like his size and shooting stroke from the little time I've seen him play.
@BurkhartBrandon @jaws3 LOL, you are so right! Of the former Spurs you mentioned, only Michael Finley was heavily coveted when he signed. The rest of the list were clearly past their prime, although they all did have plenty of good basketball left. I think that the Spurs relying on high IQ basketball enables savvy players to play longer.
The comments about Stephen Jackson, Josh Howard et al are spot on. When these guys could really play they spurned the Spurs to play for teams that in most cases weren't any good. Artest had a few opportunities to sign with the Spurs when he weighed 40 lbs LESS!
@BurkhartBrandon @jaws3 Maybe you're right BB, but history says that many players CANNOT handle the pressure of playing in the big cities like NY and LA, nor safely navigate the night life. If winning a championship is your goal and you're an older NBA veteran, don't know why the Knicks, Nets, Clippers or Lakers would be on your wish list. NONE of those teams are going anywhere! Clippers have an outside shot, I guess, but even with Buter, they don't strike fear in me.

Charlotte stood on her tip toes peering through the
narrow window of the wooden door. Her knees began to shake as she saw Jacob
inking notes at his desk in the far corner. She stepped back on her heals and
sighed. It's now or
never! She thought as she opened the door and walked into the
"Hi Jacob," she said, hanging her coat on the wooden
post. The labs stone floor and walls made the room feel cold and damp. Huge
wooden tables sat at odd angles while Jacobs mahogany desk occupied the corner
of the room with view of the door.
Jacob kept his nose in his work. This is going to
be harder than I thought. She grabbed an apron from off the post and walked
over to his desk. She picked up a light gray stone with a smooth blue side.
"That's an agate. Pretty powerful stone, but it's been
dead for a long time." Jacob looked up from his work. "What are you doing here
"I was wondering if you'd like any help," she said as
she put the stone down.
"That's really thoughtful," Jacob stated as he walked
over to a table littered with old artifacts and tiny glass bottles of multicolored
liquids. "But I work better alone."
"Come on, please?" Char begged. "I'm going stir crazy
trying to research for Olivia. I've been at the library from dusk till dawn,
every day, since she and Jackson left. I'm not getting anywhere!"
"Did Liv put you up to this?" He said, smiling with the
right corner of his mouth.
"No!" Charlotte looked down at the desk again, not
wanting to make eye contact with him. Jacob raised his brow and crossed his
arms. Char could feel his eyes on her as she gave in. "Okay, yes. Live wanted
me to come talk to you, but so did I." Char stated as she walked over to him. "I
just wasn't sure how to approach you."
Jacob's face softened as he saw Char turn a slightly
shade of pink. She shook her head, trying to remove the idea she was blushing
at all.
"So, can I help?" Char asked, her heart beat racing
inside of her chest. Jacob grabbed a glass bottle from the table and handed it
to Char.
"I need this liquid mixed with a smidge of dust from
the green jar over there."
Char smiled and started to work. Jacob's eyes followed.

We stopped @ our Lowe's last night & the big 28" metal pans that you put under your water heater to catch drips/spills were clearanced for $2.00! Reg $21.00!!! They look like giant cake pans w/ a drain spout on the side.
*remember, these are to retain water & don't rust! These would work great for a mini pond in your garden, or SO MANY other things! Use as is or cut them up - I'd thought of cutting off the sides & making giant mushroom caps. I place mine on tree stumps. You can't buy sheets this cheap! Sadly, my son put a claim to all 6 we bought for his greenhouse... for starting plants or as a base for potted ones. The drain spout was perfect for him. YMMV, not sure all the Lowe's will have these clearanced, hope you can find some, the price is perfect!
Follow-Up Postings:
Sure, I hit "submit" and THEN remembered, I wanted to say these would be great for nice big stepping stones! Rather than the small 1ft ones you have to place one foot in front of another like a sobriety test, you can do some heavy drinking & still be able to find a 28" path! lol |

Thanks for the hint. There's a Lowes in my Mom's home town where I'll be going today or tomorrow. (Friday was dh and my 21st anniversary, and Monday is Mom's 82nd b-day so this is a celebrating time for us!) A drip pan - what an awesome anniversary gift! ha! Kathy |
I checked my Lowe's and darn it they didn't have any of these metal pans on clearance. Rats! I did find a fun little castle for $5. I'm going to cut out some of the windows and rig up a solar light in it. If you use the metal pans for casting stepping stones from concrete keep in mind it can be a real pain, literally and figuratively, to unmold from a metal form! I use the plastic drain pans for casting my faux millstones, much easier to use. Remember to drill a little hole air hole in your improvised molds. It breaks the vacuum and makes unmolding your concrete creation much easier. |

Or put the pan in a garbage bag then puor the concrete in, then it won't be sticking to the metal, what a score on those pans! I'm thinking birdbath.... |

Syria vows to execute 'terrorists' after worst day of violence
(Read article summary)Human rights groups estimate that at least 110 Syrians were killed yesterday, which would be the highest single-day death toll in the nine-month uprising.
Muzaffar Salman/AP
Syria has announced it will execute "terrorists" and anyone who distributes weapons, just a day after Damascus publicly committed to an Arab League peace plan – a move that analysts and the opposition say is a stalling tactic.
Yesterday also marked the deadliest day of violence since Syria's uprising began in mid-March. Damascus has long insisted that such violence has been committed by "terrorist" gangs attacking Syrian forces and civilians. Today Syrian state TV announced that the government has enacted a new law imposing the death penalty against "terrorists" and anyone distributing weapons for terrorist activities, CNN reports. The new law also imposes a life sentence of hard labor for arms trafficking.
According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, some 70 Syrian Army deserters were shot as they attempted to defect to the rebels, reports BBC News. "They were killed while trying to run away from their military positions on the way between the villages of Kensafra and Kefer Quaid, in Zawyia Mountain, in Idlib district," the Observatory said. The Syrian Revolution General Commission, a rebel coalition, put the number killed at 72.

All it took was a bit of staff collaboration for the county to resolve a parking brouhaha with the Marin Municipal Water District.
Supervisor Steve Kinsey was irritated the other day when the county board convened to consider a water district proposal to install two temporary water tanks next to a fire road in the Gary Giacomini Open Space Preserve.
While the water tank plan seemed appropriate and got county approval, Kinsey noted the county wanted the district to open the Leo T. Cronin Viewing Area parking lot at the lip of Samuel P. Taylor State Park to public parking year round, instead of only three months during the winter salmon spawning run. Public parking was recently barred in the state park along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to curb erosion that harms fish habitat, even though people flock to the area to frolic in the nearby Inkwells swimming hole in Lagunitas Creek near Shafter Bridge.
Kinsey said the water district was backpedaling on an agreement to open up the parking area. "If you are in partnership relationships, you follow through on the commitments you make," he said.
"That's ridiculous," Kinsey declared when told the water district wanted $60,000 to open the parking up. "I feel like MMWD has disappointed us in a big way here."
But Liza Crosse, as Kinsey aide who also serves as a water district director, said the situation was resolved after water district chief Krishna Kumar learned about Kinsey's distress. Kumar "basically sees the larger picture," and a result, the parking lot will reopen year-round later this week, Crosse said.
A plan to impose maintenance work valued at $60,000 was dropped and instead, county parks staff arranged for the state to help maintain the lot, she said.
"Everything should be resolved this week," Crosse said. "I think (Kinsey) getting hot under the collar motivated" Kumar, she added.
Parks chief Linda Dahl, saying the affair was not a "flap," noted that "since state parks staff is present just down the road at Samuel P. Taylor, they were willing to help" with duties including opening and closing a gate. "The area will be open during daylight hours only," Dahl said, adding the county will share gate duty when needed and "coordinate with MMWD to provide for two temporary porta-potties, service them, and for garbage disposal."
Crosse noted that high fecal levels have been recorded in the creek, and Dahl urged people to help keep Inkwells and its drinking watershed "clean and safe."

Prevalence of Christians in the field of nursing - page 5
I will be making a career change, from the banking industry to nursing. Thought about it over the past year. In my industry, Christians are far and few between. I suppose much of this has to do... Read More
3Mar 11, '13 by Rose_Queen, MSN, RN GuideQuote from FSUNurse2bEvidence to back this up? Research, not just your personal experiences.Also, non-Chrisitans may not be looking out for Christians in the workforce.
Personally, I think that religion has no place at the workplace. You are there to, in this case, provide nursing care. Chaplains and the patient's personal religious leaders have the training to care for their spiritual needs.
As for non-Christians not looking out for Christians, here's my policy on looking out for my coworkers: I'll have your back if you have mine. Religion has no role in that; it's called teamwork and being a team player. Christianity isn't a requirement for that. -
0Mar 11, '13 by SuzieFFSUns2b,
Not to worry, you will find that there are plenty of Christ followers in nursing. You will also probably find more outspoken Christians in nursing than banking. As you can see from the comments posted on your thread, nurses are pretty outspoken and spirited by nature.
The fact that you seem comfortable with your own spirituality is good. Humans are spiritual beings. Recognition of this about yourself will help you be more attentive to your patients needs. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint Commission have set expectations that these needs be addressed by health professionals (nurses). I know for sure that the WHO has even developed a spirituality assessment tool.
So, your question is very applicable to a "Nursing & Spirituality" forum for nurses. No, need to go to a Christian forum to ask these types of questions. I welcome them.
Suzie -
0Mar 11, '13 by tnbutterfly, BSN, RN AdminI totally agree with SuzieF. No need to go to another forum for your answers. It is perfectly fine to discuss this here in the Nursing and Spirituality forum. That is why it is here. This is a professional nursing site where all types of things related to nursing and patient care are discussed........including spiritual issues.
In the United States, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requires that a spiritual assessment be completed on every patient. Because nurses work closely with the sick and dying, they often find themselves called upon to address a patient's spiritual needs.
Several threads and articles have been posted in this forum regarding spiritual issues, and this will continue to be the case.

2Mar 11, '13 by leslie :-DQuote from Sweet_Wild_Roseyeah, these are my sentiments as well.As for non-Christians not looking out for Christians, here's my policy on looking out for my coworkers: I'll have your back if you have mine. Religion has no role in that; it's called teamwork and being a team player. Christianity isn't a requirement for that.
i'm still not understanding why some need to seek 'their own', esp if like faiths don't possess the needed qualities in being an effective nurse.
besides, this seems to be much more of a religious forum, much more so than spiritual.
i'm not Christian, so i guess i'm not needed here.
going, going...
leslieLadyFree28 and OCNRN63 like this. -
0Mar 12, '13 by CackalackyI completely understand your concern. I never had the concern until I worked with a nurse who was very mean to me after she found out my beliefs. She was even the one who asked me and I never brought the subject up again, but she couldn't let it go... She really knew how to make a night miserable. That was just one nurse. The rest of the nurses on the unit found it interesting to discuss different beliefs and how they effect patients' healing during those long night shifts. THEN, I moved to Utah and found out that religion is a HUGE thing in this region and completely different. But, people still can be very rude about someone's different beliefs. I found that many nurses have SOME kind of belief system/religion, but it is still a work environment and it's just best to not bring those kinds of things up and definitely no reason to ever be rude.
0Mar 12, '13 by FSUNurse2bQuote from RandiMMTotally understand. Just remember, "rude" people have been around for quite some time and aren't going away any time soon.but it is still a work environment and it's just best to not bring those kinds of things up and definitely no reason to ever be rude.
4Mar 13, '13 by SadalaI'm a Christian but I have to say that conversations like these leave me feeling a bit unsettled. I want to ask, "Why does it matter?"
Are the "Christian" nurses (or those who self identify in that fashion in any case) somehow "better" or? I'm just wondering what the implications are of the OP's question.
In short, I see no reason for my belief system to be the focus at my employment. At work, I focus on the job at hand. -
0Mar 13, '13 by nursel56 GuidePart of it could be the unconscious associations we make with certain occupations. People who work in the financial services industry have suffered as a result of some very well publicized news stories involving unscrupulous individuals at the top of the heap. I do believe many decent people have been tarred by it. That was certainly true in the case of Ken Lay and Enron. I'll bet if you asked his close acquaintances at the time, before the whole scandal broke if Ken Lay was "a good Christian" they would've said yes. So he didn't just lie and cause people to lose their life savings, he stole their good reputation, too.

Jehovah is renowned or remembered.
His book consists of two distinct parts, (1) chapters 1 to 8, inclusive, and (2) 9 to the end. It begins with a preface ( 1:1-6 ), which recalls the nation's past history, for the purpose of presenting a solemn warning to the present generation. Then follows a series of eight visions ( (1:7-6:8), ), succeeding one another in one night, which may be regarded as a symbolical history of Israel, intended to furnish consolation to the returned exiles and stir up hope in their minds. The symbolical action, the crowning of ( Joshua 6:9-15 ), describes how the kingdoms of the world become the kingdom of God's Christ.
Chapters 7 and 8, delivered two years later, are an answer to the question whether the days of mourning for the destruction of the city should be any longer kept, and an encouraging address to the people, assuring them of God's presence and blessing.
The second part of the book (ch. 9-14) bears no date. It is probable that a considerable interval separates it from the first part. It consists of two burdens.
The first burden (ch. 9-11) gives an outline of the course of God's providential dealings with his people down to the time of the Advent.
The second burden (ch. 12-14) points out the glories that await Israel in "the latter day", the final conflict and triumph of God's kingdom.
Besides these, there is a large number of persons mentioned in Scripture bearing this name of whom nothing is known.
same as Zachariah
zek-a-ri'-a (zekharyahu, or zekharyah; the Septuagint Zacharia(s)):
A very common name in the Old Testament. The form, especially the longer form, of the name would suggest for its meaning, "Yah remembers" or "Yah is renowned," and the name was doubtless understood in this sense in later times. But the analogies with ZACCUR, ZECHER, ZICHRI (which see), etc., make some original ethnic derivation probable.
(1) King of Israel, son of Jeroboam II (the King James Version "Zachariah"). See the next article.
(2) The grandfather of King Hezekiah, through Hezekiah's mother Abi (2 Kings 18:2, the King James Version "Zachariah" parallel 2 Chronicles 29:1).
(3) A contemporary of Isaiah, taken by Isaiah as a trustworthy witness in the matter of the sign Maher-shalal-hash-baz (Isaiah 8:1). As his father's name was Jeberechiah, some support seems to be offered to theories of those who would make him the author of certain portions of Zechariah.
See ZECHARIAH, BOOK OF.
(4) A Reubenite of the time of Israel's captivity (1 Chronicles 5:7).
(5) A Benjamite, living in Gideon (1 Chronicles 9:37; called "Zecher" in 8:31). He was the brother of Kish and hence, the uncle of Saul.
(6) A Manassite of Gilead, at the time of David (1 Chronicles 27:21).
(7) The third son of Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 21:2). He was slain by Jehoram (2 Chronicles 21:4).
(8) A "prince" who Jehoshaphat sent to "teach" in the cities of Judah (2 Chronicles 17:7). As this "teaching" was in connection with the establishing of the Law, Zechariah was primarily a judge.
(9) A prophet who was influential in the early days of Uzziah (2 Chronicles 26:5). He is characterized as ha-mebh in bire'oth (beyir'ath(?)) ha-elohim, which phrase is usually understood to mean that he had instructed (Revised Version margin) the king in the fear of God. As long as he lived the king profited by his instruction and advice.
The following eight are all Levites:
(10) A doorkeeper at the time of David, who was made a singer "of the second degree" (1 Chronicles 15:18; the text is confused). He was a player on a "psaltery" (1 Chronicles 15:20) and took part in the thanksgiving when the Ark was brought to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 16:5).
(11) A son of Isshiah (1 Chronicles 24:25).
(12) A son of Meshelemiah, a "porter of the door of the tent of meeting" at the time of David (1 Chronicles 9:21; 26:2,14). In 1 Chronicles 26:14 called "a discreet counselor."
(13) A son of Hosah, a Merarite, also at David's time (1 Chronicles 26:11).
(14) The father of the prophet, JAHAZIEL (which see) (2 Chronicles 20:14).
(15) A son of Asaph, who assisted in the purification of the Temple at the time of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 29:13).
(16) A Kohathite, who assisted in the repair of the Temple at the time of Josiah (2 Chronicles 34:12).
(17) A son of Jonathan, an Asaphite, one of the musicians at the dedication of the wall at the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 12:35).
The following are all priests:
(18) A trumpeter at the time of David (1 Chronicles 15:24).
(19) A son of Jehoiada, at the time of Joash. He rebuked the people publicly for their apostasy, and was stoned by them, Joash consenting to their act (2 Chronicles 24:20-22). As 2 Chronicles is the last book in the Hebrew Old Testament, Zechariah was regarded as the last of the Old Testament martyrs, and hence, is coupled with Abel (the first martyr) in Matthew 23:35 parallel Luke 11:51. The words "son of Barachiah" in Matthew are due to confusing this Zechariah with the prophet.
See ZACHARIAH.
(20) One of the "rulers of the house of God" at the time of Josiah (2 Chronicles 35:8).
(21) A son of Pashhur, 242 of whose descendants as "chiefs of fathers' houses" dwelt in Jerusalem at the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 11:13).
(22) A trumpeter at the dedication of the wall at the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 12:41).
(23) The prophet (Ezra 5:1; 6:14; Nehemiah 12:16; Zechariah 1:1,7; 7:1,8; 1 Esdras 6:1; 7:3).
See ZECHARIAH, BOOK OF.
The following are all returned exiles or are mentioned only as ancestors of such:
(24) A son of Parosh (Ezra 8:3; 1 Esdras 8:30 has "Zacharias" here and elsewhere).
(25) A son of Bebai (Ezra 8:11; 1 Esdras 8:37)
(26) One of the "chief men" dispatched by Ezra to bring priests from Casiphia (Ezra 8:16; 1 Esdras 8:44). Doubtless the same as (24) or (25), above.
(27) One of the persons who stood by Ezra at the reading of the Law (Nehemiah 8:4; 1 Esdras 9:44); almost certainly identical with (26).
(28) A son of Elam, who had taken a foreign wife (Ezra 10:26; 1 Esdras 9:27).
(29) A son of Amariah, a Judahite, the ancestor of certain persons dwelling in Jerusalem (Nehemiah 11:4).
(30) A son of "the Shilonite," the ancestor of certain persons dwelling in Jerusalem (Nehemiah 11:5).

(zekharyah, zekharydhu, "Yah has remembered" (2 Kings 14:29; 15:8-12); Zacharias, the King James Version Zachariah):
Son of Jeroboam II, and 14th king of Israel. He was the 4th of the line of Jehu, and reigned six months. Zechariah succeeded to a splendid inheritance, as he was king, not only of the ten tribes of Israel, but of the Syrian state of Damascus, which his father had subdued. In the unusual wealth and dignity of this position lay his peril. Also there were two dark shadows falling across his path, though both probably unseen by him. One was the promise to Jehu, as the reward of his destroying the worship of Baal in Israel, that his sons should sit on the throne of Israel to the 4th generation (2 Kings 10:30; 15:12). Zechariah was Jehu's great-great-grandson. The other was the word of Amos to the priest of Bethel: "Then said the Lord. ... I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword" (Amos 7:8,9).
The only brief notice of Zechariah personal to himself is that he gave his support to the worship of the calves, since Jeroboam I established the religion of the state. He hardly had time, however, to identify himself with this or any institution before he was publicly assassinated by Shallum, the son of Jabesh (he "smote him before the people"). The prophet Hosea was then alive, and there is probably allusion to this crime when, addressing Ephraim, he says:
"Where is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities?. ... I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath" (Hosea 13:10,11; compare 1:4).
There has long been difficulty with the chronology of this period. Archbishop Ussher assumed an interregnum of 11 years between the death of Jeroboam II and Zechariah's accession. This is accepted as probable by a recent writer, who sees "at least 10 years of incessant conflict between rival claimants to the throne on Jeroboam's death" (see article "Zechariah" in HDB, IV). It seems more likely that there is error in certain of the synchronisms. The year of Zechariah's accession was probably 759 BC (some put it later), and the 6 months of his reign, with that given to Shallum, may be included in the 10 years of Menahem, who followed them (2 Kings 15:17).

The Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week – July 23rd
Features By Rob Hunter on July 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to a slightly revamped version of This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Graceland Marlon Villar (Arnold Reyes) is chauffeur to Manuel Chango (Menggie Cobarrubias), a salaciously corrupt politician in the Philippines who expects obedience and loyalty regardless of his actions. The two men have daughters the same age, and one day while Marlon drives the girls to school they're stopped in an attempt to kidnap the politician's daughter. Things go terribly awry, and the confused kidnappers take Marlon's daughter instead having mistaken her for Chango's child. Now Marlon's only hope is for the politician to pay the ransom in the belief that his daughter is in peril, but maintaining the lie may lead to an even bigger tragedy. Writer/director Ron Morales' fast-moving and vicious little film is a fantastically economical thriller that wastes no time diving into a sleazy world where children are little more than a commodity and money beats morals nearly every time. It's a dark and nasty world indeed, but one of the joys of the film is seeing Marlon act as well as we can expect given the situation. He never frustrates or annoys even as his self dug grave gets deeper and deeper. Read my full review here. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Commentary, featurette, deleted scenes, booklet]
Mr. Smith, Mockumentaries, Melissa McCarthy and the Best of 2013 So Far Star in the 10 Best Movie Stories of the Week
Features By Christopher Campbell on July 6, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThis week was shortened, business-wise, by the holiday honoring America's birthday and independence, but that didn't stop us. We're not the lazy side of this nation. We're the part that truly represents what the Founding Fathers wished for 237 years ago. We were the best we could be. And we gave you readers as much great original content as we might have had it been a full work week. It helped that this was the beginning of the month, so we have Jack's usual preview of the weeks ahead in recommended releases, and it was also the close of the first half of the year, so we had a couple features looking at the past six months in movies. We're so positive! We also saw the box office branding of a new movie star, the return of a genre, the false return of another genre, the inauguration of a new column on movie truth and a look at recent music documentaries and a new fake reality series. And it's all highlighted below for your recapping, catching up enjoyment. Start your weekend right after the jump.
10 Ridiculously Great Movies You May Have Already Missed In 2013
Features By FSR Staff on July 1, 2013 | Comments (4)The middle of the year brings a lot of things, but we can probably all agree that the most important of those things are lists. With that in mind, Landon Palmer and I set out to highlight ten of our favorite films of the past six months, but instead of being a straight forward list of the year's best movies so far we chose to zero in on the great, smaller movies that may have bypassed your radar as they slipped in and out of just a handful of theaters. This factor is most obvious in the absence of Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor from Landon's selections. The films we've chosen run the gamut of genres and countries of origin, but they share a sense of quality sadly missing from the majority of Hollywood films opening wide in theaters these days. (Although if you have to see a wannabe blockbuster choose Roland Emmerich's White House Down… the damn thing is dumb as dirt but sweet Jesus is it fun.) You may have heard of some of the films below, but all of them are worth seeking out at your local arthouse or VOD provider of choice.
Review: 'The Silence' Sings Aloud the Inconsolable Sadness of the Lost and the Guilty
Foreign Objects By Rob Hunter on March 7, 2013 | Be the First To CommentTwo men sit in a darkened living room watching an 8mm home movie play on a screen before them. It shows a young girl, terrified and sitting on a bed, while a man in a mask sits beside her and begins to unbutton his shirt. The two men head out into the sunshine of the day, driving aimlessly, until they see a young girl on a bike turn down an off-road path into the woods. They follow. It's July 8th, 1986, and eleven year old Pia is raped and murdered by Peer (Ulrich Thomsen) while the second man, Timo (Wotan Wilke Möhring), watches with equal parts disgust and arousal. The two dispose of the body and return home, but before Peer's car has been washed of any evidence Timo has packed and boarded a bus out of town. 23 years later, to the very day, another young girl goes missing with only her bike and bag left behind at the very spot where Pia was abducted so many years ago. Writer/director Baran bo Odar's film, The Silence, follows the families, the police and the two men behind the original unsolved case in a story that pairs grief and guilt, obsession and duty. A suspenseful journey through other people's pain, the film nevertheless finds beauty too through its cinematography, score and performances.
Movie News After Dark: Duncan Jones' Wolverine, Summer Movies and Bowing to The Dark Side
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 11, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It is a nightly movie news column dedicated to featuring painfully overtread characters from the part of the Marvel universe owned (cinematically, at least) by the 20th Century Fox corporation. It might as well be called X-Men After Dark. Hmm… maybe Fox will buy some sponsorship rights. They need all the help they can get after X-Men Origins: Wolverine. "A good Wolverine film could be an amazing thing." Duncan Jones said this mere days before he confirmed that he will take a meeting with 20th Century Fox about the possibility of directing The Wolverine, taking a director's chair left empty by the departure of Darren Aronofsky. As geek cred goes, Jones has perhaps as much as anyone working right now following Moon and Source Code, and he's smart enough to pull it off. Here's hoping the project is a good fit and that Fox makes the right call.

Eric Hendrick and Noelle VanHendrick
As newlyweds, Eric and Noelle decided to pursue their artistic passion, and put all of their gift money toward buying red clay for their handmade creations. Unfortunately, the clay they received didn't perform like it was supposed to. "It was bad," says Noelle. "We couldn't attach spouts or handles, and glazes wouldn't stick! We were bummed." Fortunately, the two carried on and have continued to share their gift for joyful ceramics.
Looking for solutions to their red clay dilemma, the couple dreamed up new ways to approach their craft by watching Tim Burton movies. "[We were] watching The Nightmare Before Christmas and bang! Clay Jack O' Lanterns without glazes [or] attachments [were born]." The duo had so much success with their charming Halloween lanterns that they bought more red clay--with a plan, this time--and sprung a patch of clay pumpkins as the hallmark of their collection.
"That was over 10 years ago," she said. "Lesson learned: Sometimes you must be crafty to get things done."

Okla. prison escapee recaptured in Muskogee County
MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says authorities have recaptured an inmate who escaped a prison in Muskogee County.
Authorities say prison officials found 40-year-old Dave O'Malley on Sunday night on a road near the Jess Dunn Correctional Facility in Taft. He had last been seen at the prison at about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday.
O'Malley was convicted of burglary and robbery in Tulsa County. Authorities say he wasn't scheduled for release until 2022.

After placing two dice on a spell that allows it, do you have to use both on the same task? Can you just use one, save the other for another task? This would treat it like two single spells and make the game easier. Guess the other option is to use one die and discard the card and unused die, but, this seems wrong. If you have to use both at the same time you would have to look a lot harder to find another adventure card with the right task that could use both if you ended up not needing them on the current task(s). This makes the two dice spell harder to use, but, could come in handy with the right adventure cards displayed.
Spells that allow 2 dice. How do you use them?
Posted 11 October 2011 - 05:42 PM
Posted 12 October 2011 - 09:53 PM
You may spend the dice one at a time or together.
When the spell runs out of dice (because they've been either used or locked by another effect) it is discarded. Not before.
Also the rules say that at the first roll after the spell has been cast you must choose one of the dice and put it on the spell.
This means that when you cast Dread Curse of Azatoth (the only spell with room for two dice) you're obliged to fill one slot, storing the second die is up to you.
This is what the wording of the rules strictly says. Then you may want to house rule that such a terrible and powerful spell like the Dread Curse (Mythos spells are always a double-edged knife) can give you a big power but an heavy cost and because of this you must fill both slots.
This is up to you...

Having something embarrassing happen to you is one thing. Having something embarrassing happen to you while on television is another, especially with the way things go viral nowadays.
People act out in strange ways when they are angry, perhaps making them look back on their actions afterwards and wonder why the hell they did what they did. Luckily for them, though, those moments most likely won't go viral.
That's not the case for Besnik Hasi, the head soccer coach for Royal Sports Club Anderlecht in the Netherlands.

When she turned to a fan to get a reaction about the game, the fan was obviously still amped up because what he said is one of the filthiest thing ever said on television. Dandridge didn't really recover that well.

Whats up
Don't show the field info. Show the entire table's info, including the indexes.
I would guess that you have a composite key defined on that table and indeed when you tried to change the category from 1 to 2 you managed to create a duplicate composite key.
Try issuing the commandand if you can't figure out what it shows you, show the result to us.Code:DESCRIBE TABLE account;

Centennial Beach has a new yoga class, and it's a hit.
Jeanne Yorke, 66, has made Centennial Beach her second home for about 66 years. Recently, Naperville's iconic swimming quarry has become Yorke's outdoor yoga oasis.
Yorke joined a handful of yoga enthusiasts for Centennial Beach's inaugural Beachside Yoga program, which met for an hour every Sunday morning June 22 through July 27.
The class, which welcomes yoga sages and novices alike, is led by Sarah Weyenberg — a yoga guru who taught classes in the sands of California's coast before coming to the shores of Centennial Beach. Weyenberg leads the class through hatha yoga, which gently introduces students to basic yoga postures.
"It's flow yoga," Yorke said. "We do a lot of flowing movements, and the teacher is very energetic."
Andrea Coates, Naperville Park District's aquatic manager, chose the location.
"I thought Centennial Beach would be great for yoga because the setting's so pretty," she said. "In the morning, when no one else is there, it's peaceful and quiet."
Yorke was lucky to get a spot; the 20-person class filled up quickly. She says the class was an easy choice for her and the other participants.
"It's a no-brainer," she said. "Just being outside is a totally different experience than the studio. It's a great way to start a Sunday morning in the fresh air."
Yorke hasn't always had to battle crowds for a spot at Centennial Beach. Born and raised in Naperville, Yorke recalls a time when life in the city was quieter — much quieter.
"Centennial (Beach) was the only thing to do," she said. "We're talking the '50s and '60s; there was nothing south of (Edward) Hospital. There were 7,000 people in town."
Besides breaks for meals and sleep, Yorke spent most of her childhood summers at the beach with her brothers and sisters. The beach is in her blood: her father was a proud beach bum, growing up as Naperville resident Judge Win Knoch purchased the former quarry and transformed it into a swimming pool for the city's 100th birthday.
Pool doesn't accurately describe Centennial Beach, according to Yorke.
"It's more like being in a lake," she said. "I like that. It's a little more wild than your typical pool. When we were kids, we would see fish that sometimes swam into the beach."
While schools of fish have found their way to the beach before, a school of yoga students is unprecedented. Karen Olson, an instructor at Abhyaasa Yoga in downtown Naperville, says that residents should expect to see yoga spreading to new places.
"There's a fresh demand for yoga because we're all multi-tasking," she said. "People are looking forward to turning their phone off and going through the process."
A spot in Beachside Yoga costs $48 for Naperville residents or $72 for nonresidents. Anyone who missed out on this year's course is in luck; Coates plans to continue the class next summer.
