Gallery: UK's First Floating Nature Reserve Visitor Centre Is Almost Co...
The reserve is built with the remains of an old quarry.
Brockholes is a new nature reserve, owned by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust and constructed on the remains of an abandoned quarry near Preston, England. The area has been rehabilitated with wetlands, a hay meadow, woods and hiking trails to take it all in. The new 67-acre reserve and visitor centre was made possible with a sizable grant of £8 million from the North West Regional Development Agency, which includes landscaping and habitat creation. When the reserve opens later this spring, visitors will be able to ramble along the paths, explore the habitat, bird watch and much more.
The Visitor Centre, which floats on pontoons in the wetlands area, will also be a carbon neutral event venue. Adam Khan Architects won a RIBA competition to masterplan the reserve as well as design the Visitor Centre, which is characterized by a village-like cluster of tall peaked buildings with large windows overlooking the wetlands and reserve. Visitors standing on the decks of the Centre get an up close look at nature. The design phase of the buildings have already achieved BREEAM Outstanding and the project is on target to achieve Outstanding once the project has been completed as well.
Aside from being home to many species of animals, wetlands help keep ecosystems in check by absorbing excess water during wet periods and releasing it during dry periods – so losing them would be seriously detrimental to the environment. By preserving these wetlands and creating a sustainable visitor center on them, Brockholes can educate the public about them without adding more stress to this delicate area.

In a recent thread on the East Bay Ruby Meetup list, several people chimed in with Ruby IDE suggestions. I suggested RubyMine, which we use at Pivotal. Several people mentioned NetBeans and Aptana RadRails, so I decided to have a little contest.
buy ultram onlineNow, if I am going to work in an IDE and sacrifice the speed of a text editor, I want to see it work for me ('cuz RubyMine can chew through all your CPU and RAM and then some faster than you can say Moore's Law). That means understanding Ruby, and using that information to save me some significant thinking and work.
buy diazepam online without prescriptionI don't mean code-generation macros or dumb context-aware keyword-completion, I mean something useful like knowing where my classes and methods are. In my book, that leaves out Emacs, Vi, and even TextMate, regardless of their other merits (sorry people, I like text editors too, but I'm making up this test – flame away, the comments section is below).
valium online no prescriptionSo, here's the smackdown scenario:
- Download the latest NetBeans, RadRails and RubyMine.
- Open a Ruby project, this example is one of mine (I wrote this three years ago to learn Ruby, so don't make fun of me for doing dumb stuff…)
- Test the ability of the IDE to navigate through Ruby language constructs. This should be easy, it is a command-line app using a Dependency Injection architecture, no metaprogramming curveballs!
- Open the root Ruby class for the project (
) - Pick a variable (
) - Try to work back to the class declaration (
) using IDE navigation (Command-click
in all the IDEs, although sometimes they ignore you)
- Open the root Ruby class for the project (
Result? RubyMine succeeded, NetBeans and RadRails failed miserably. Here's what happened in each:
- Click
class method reference inapp = create_application
. NetBeans takes me to the method declaration in same class. - Click the
method inregistry.app
FAIL! ANGRY BEEP! app
is an attr_accessor
on another class, NetBeans can't find it.
- Click
class method reference inapp = create_application
. RadRails takes me to the method declaration in same class. - Click
method inregistry.app
. RadRails takes me to theattr_accessor
on theRegistry
class (without a prompt, and highlighting the symbol, which is even better than RubyMine). - Click (and F3) on the
symbol argument toattr_accessor
FAIL! ANGRY BEEP! RadRails can't figure out the symbol parameter to attr_accessor
. It says "Current text selection does not resolve to a Ruby element".
- Click
class method reference inapp = create_application
. RubyMine takes me to the method declaration in same class. - Click
method inregistry.app
. RubyMine pops up a dialog asking if I mean theattr_accessor
on theRegistry
class, or the local variable I'm declaring. That's rather silly, I admit, but the point is it followed the reference to another class. - Click on the
choice. RubyMine takes me to theattr_accessor
line in Registry. - Click on the
symbol argument toattr_accessor
. RubyMine takes me to the point where the@app
instance variable is initialized. - Click on the
class name in theGemInstaller::Application.new
constructor invocation. RubyMine pops up a dialog asking if I mean theApplication
class in my application, or two other Application classes that happen to be in my Ruby installation. This is also a silly question – it should have known the correct choice because of my namespacing, but it still found the class. - Click on the
choice. RubyMine takes me to the class declaration.
SUCCESS! RubyMine drilled all the way to the class declaration, even through an attr_accessor
, albeit with a couple of stupid questions.
ativan online no prescriptionI personally think this is a Big Deal. In the past, I've mocked Ruby IDE functionality as a poor simulacrum of the vast power in Java IDEs. When using Eclipse in Java, I could perform epic refactorings, extracting superclasses and adding parameters to method signatures; refactoring scores of classes across multiple projects in a few mighty keystrokes. Yes, I'm fully aware that this is because Ruby is a dynamic language, but that doesn't make me miss a real refactoring IDE any less, and others have long lamented these shortcomings, as well.
buy ambien without prescriptionSo, for years, even though I'd always indulge my pairs if they wanted to use an IDE, I've done all my personal hacking with a fast, lightweight text editor and command line tools. To me, the benefits of a memory- and processor-sucking IDE with tons of unnecessary, unconfigurable, resource-eating tiny-ass-fonts and chrome did not justify giving up the speed and responsiveness of a great text editor.
buy klonopin onlineHowever, RubyMine can now navigate code for me. I don't have to think and manually find that class, RubyMine knows where it is. Granted, that ain't no Extract Superclass, but it saves me a lot of thought and time, both of which are increasingly rare commodities for me.
buy xanax onlineTo be fair, this is really just a problem related to parsing and interpreting attr_accessor
declarations, and I expect that NetBeans and RadRails will pass this test as well in another release or two. That's all great news, because it means that Ruby IDEs are finally, slowly, coming of age. I think I'll still be waiting a long time for an automated Modify Method Signature refactoring, though…

Rockies' Friedrich looks to slow Bucs' McCutchen
Neil Walker went 3-for-4 in Monday's loss. The second baseman has now hit safely in 16 straight games. In July, Walker has 22 hits, second-most in baseball, behind only McCutchen. Alex Presley was activated from the seven-day disabled list on Monday. He hit first in the lineup and played left field, going 1-for-4 at the plate. Presley was removed from a July 3 game with concussion-like symptoms, which resulted from a diving attempt he made at a fly ball. Rockies: Nelson hospitalized
Chris Nelson was admitted to a hospital Monday with an irregular heartbeat. He has hit .256 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in 58 games while playing second and third base. Juan Nicasio will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery Monday to remove floating materials in his left knee. The right-hander strained his knee on June 2, when he tried to field a hard-hit ball against the Dodgers. In 11 starts, Nicasio was 2-3 with a 5.28 ERA. Worth noting
The season series between Pittsburgh and Colorado is tied at two games apiece. In April, the Pirates took two of three games from the Rockies at PNC Park. If the Rockies can win on Tuesday or Wednesday, they'll have handed the Pirates their second straight series loss, which hasn't happened since Pittsburgh went 2-4 against both the Tigers and Mets from May 18-23.

KIROV, Russia — Alexei Navalny, one of the Russian opposition's leading figures, was convicted of embezzlement on Thursday and sentenced to five years in prison.
Navalny and his supporters claimed the case was politically driven to try to shut down the vehement Kremlin critic and intimidate his supporters.
Navalny was found guilty of heading a group that embezzled $500,000 worth of timber from state-owned company Kirovles in 2009 while he worked as an unpaid adviser to the provincial governor in Kirov, about 470 miles east of Moscow.
The 37-year-old lawyer played with his smartphone for much of the nearly four-hour verdict reading. A post on his Twitter account after the sentence was pronounced said, "Oh, well. Don't get bored without me. And, importantly, don't be idle ..."
Navalny handed the phone and his watch to his wife, Yulia, before bailiffs took custody of him and co-defendant Pyotr Ofitserov, who was given a four-year sentence.
Navalny first came to wide attention for vigorous blogging about corruption. He was a top leader of the wave of massive protest rallies that broke out in late 2011 after a national parliamentary election scarred by allegations of widespread fraud.
It was Navalny who first called the dominant United Russia party "the party of crooks and thieves," a phrase that became a rallying cry for the nascent opposition to Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin.
More recently, he pushed his ambitions by declaring himself a candidate for this fall's Moscow mayoral election.
The head of his campaign staff, Leonid Volkov, said a decision on whether to pull out of the race would be made only after he could consult with Navalny, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.
Russian news reports said Navalny would be taken to a detention facility in Kirov before being sent to a prison.
Several dozen Navalny supporters gathered outside the detention facility soon after the sentencing.
Navalny's wife appeared composed after seeing her husband taken away in handcuffs, saying, "If someone hopes that Alexei's investigations will cease, that's wrong."
Catherine Ashton, foreign policy chief for the European Union, said she was concerned about the conviction and sentence, saying in a statement that the charges had not been substantiated during the trial.
"This outcome, given the procedural shortcomings, raises serious questions as to the state of the rule of law in Russia," she said.
The Russian stock market, sensitive to politically charged issues, dove within minutes of the verdict, with the main MICEX index dropping 1.4 percent before partly recovering.
Before the sentencing, Navalny's supporters had said they would rally in Moscow if he were sent to prison. That could provoke a confrontation with police, who routinely crack down harshly on any unsanctioned rallies.
The judge said he found the testimony of key prosecution witness Vyacheslav Opalev to be "trustworthy and consistent."
Opalev, who was the timber company's general director, got a suspended sentence in an expedited trial in December after pleading guilty to conspiring with Navalny.
Navalny insists Opalev framed him out of revenge: Navalny had recommended that Opalev be fired and that officials investigate potential corruption in his company, which had incurred 200 million rubles ($6 million) in losses by the time Navalny arrived in the region.
Throughout the trial, testimony of prosecution witnesses clashed with the core arguments of the indictment that claimed Navalny's work in Kirov led to the embezzlement. None of the managers at Kirovles who appeared in court, except for Opalev, was able to confirm that Navalny defrauded the company.
Navalny had long said he expected to be convicted, and in a final blog post before leaving Moscow for Kirov, he downplayed his personal importance to the wider opposition.
"The most important thing is to muster up the strength, shake off laziness and do something. This doesn't require any leadership as such," he wrote.

32 wrote:2012-2013 GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS SCOUTING REPORTS
STRENGTHS (+): Defensively speaking, trails only Dwight Howard as the baddest beast on the Serengeti. Timing on blocked shots borders precognition; extremely efficient shot-blocker with consistent length and weight advantages. Changes shots, commits hard fouls, clears the boards, bodies up even the biggest of ogres. One of, if not the best, centers in terms of taking charges and drawing fouls. Bonafide size; 7-feet tall, 265 pounds, supreme strength in the paint, gets off of two feet incredibly quickly and explosively, rockets out from under the cup for backboard swaying slams. Bogut is slick near the rim; comfortable scoring underhanded, tips balls with military precision, uses head fakes and ball swings to draw fouls. Among the best 7-footers at passing the ball; can drop no looks in the lane and has thrown behind the back baseline passes more than once. Overall, a prototypical center: mean, tough, ideal size, and undeniable skillset.
WEAKNESSES (-): Disappointingly poor shooter for someone who displays such touch at close range; can't hit free throws and is seemingly best suited to put it up within 8 feet. His need to contest every shot puts him on dunk posters and in foul trouble with disturbing regularity. Not a go-to-scorer and despite his intelligence and skill, can flat out disappear on the scoreboard certain nights. Prone to missing games due to a checkered injury history that – while it has yet to be proven chronic – has followed him around never the less. Despite being a top 3 defensive center, is somewhere between 12-20 in terms of offense. Shows flashes of enforcement, but has yet to truly embrace the role of dominance.
Offensive game… 3.5/5
Defensive game….. 5/5
Intangibles………..… 4.5/5
Skill……………………... 4/5
Effort………………..…. 4/5
STRENGTHS (+): Extremely clever power forward. Can work from the elbow, the block, the wing, off the ball, or even occasionally as an initiator. Deceptively ambidextrous; Lee is surgically precise with his right hand and, along with the usual hooks, lay-ins, and dunks, has also shown short range touch with his off-hand. Jumper is streaky, but when it's on it will extend out to 18 feet and become automatic in spurts. When this happens, Lee faces up out of the elbow and uses the triple-threat as effective as any PF in the league; his pump fake draws fouls and opens the lane for Lee to use his guard-like handles en route to the cup. A point guard until mid-high-school, Lee see's the play develop on the fly, skips passes on the perimeter, is not above making the extra dish, and has displayed a knack for the drive-and-kick to open up corner three-point shooters (bear in mind, this is a 6'10" power forward we're talking about). Lee pushes the break and when his guards are unavailable, is perfectly capable of initiating the offense himself. David Lee is an all-star level rebounder, double-tough, who fights through injuries, takes heavy contact inside, wrestles for possessions, and always goes after a loose ball with full effort. Despite a reputation as a stat-hound, Lee has displayed a willingness to tip rebounds to teammates instead of hogging numbers, as his detractors would claim. Among the league's most fearsome on the offensive glass. Lee is a first rate vocal leader who makes no excuses to the media and carries himself as a class act on and off the court.
WEAKNESSES (-): Lee does not possess professional-level lateral movement and his inability to move side-to-side quickly allows quicker forwards to blow by his matador-style of defense for easy hoops. Lee is also a near 7-footer without the slightest interest in blocking shots or defending the rim. Opponents use this knowledge to take their time on jump shots, knowing Lee will only offer a lackluster attempt to contest (in any). While Lee is a top-rate rebounder in his own right, he has shown that he is often incapable of keeping other glass hounds off the boards (ie, Lee will leave the game with 12 rebounds, but if he's playing Kevin Love or Blake Griffin, they typically will too). Because Lee is most comfortable facing up and putting the ball on the floor, his offense will stall and become transparent when his jumper doesn't fall and opponents will play him exclusively for the drive. He's not a huge threat from the block and if he's forced to work entirely out of a back-to-the-basket position, he will flounder more than flourish. David Lee is also athletically overrated; despite winning a dunk contest in high school, he does not win many jump-balls and plays the game primarily below the rim (even in the paint).
Offensive game… 4.5/5
Defensive game….. 1.5/5
Intangibles………….. 4/5
Skill……………………… 5/5
Effort…………………… 5/5
STRENGTHS (+): Surprisingly versatile for a knock-down spot-up shooter. In terms of outside range, Rush is automatic from the corner, knocks it down in transition, and has one of Golden State's most effective pump fakes when he feels like driving the ball. From inside 10 feet, Rush is adept at hitting shots off the glass, off-balanced, or with contact. He is an underrated rebounder that clears the boards on defense rather than leaking out for fast breaks. Rush is also a prototypical wing defender, who could be spare to be a little more pestering, but otherwise has ideal length, size, strength, and quickness in terms of defending the perimeter. He is explosive and loves the baseline drive out of the corner. Rush often has an athletic advantage on his opposition in one way or another and has made no beefs about being a team's 6th man. He is an ultimate teammate, willing to do whatever the team needs him to do in order to succeed. Along with his league-leading 3-point shooting, Rush is a surprisingly versatile and athletic guard who can play both sides of the court and is one of the league's best kept secrets.
WEAKNESSES (-): Overly embraces his status as a role player; some might claim that Rush plays within himself, but others have a legitimate argument that Rush doesn't assert himself nearly enough. Can be flat-out passive on some nights and falls in love with his stand-still jumper way too often. Does not utilize his pump fake or driving skills nearly enough and shows zero interest in distributing on the drive. As hinted above, his defense is solid, but you get the feeling that Rush could be a lock-down defender if he really put the work in. Likewise, Rush has the physical attributes to draw more fouls, but doesn't. He's also completely dependent on a playmaker; Rush never puts him man in isolation and is among the worst Warrior guards at moving without the ball.
Offensive game… 4/5
Defensive game….. 4/5
Intangibles………….. 3/5
Skill……………………… 4/5
Effort…………………… 3/5
STRENGTHS (+): The second coming of Reggie Miller; Thompson is a 6'7" sharp-shooter whose range extends out to half-court, his touch is virtually unaffected by defense, and he is already one of the league's most effective players at running off screens. Strange as it sounds, Thompson often appears more comfortable behind the three-point line than in front of it. He has a silky smooth, quick-release, high-arcing jumper that has become his best friend out of college. A heady player, Thompson makes the right play almost every time (which is saying something for a guy that only has a rookie season under his belt). His handles and court vision also gave Mark Jackson incentive to test out Thompson at the point last year. He is an underrated, albeit unspectacular, defensive player who may not get all the glitzy stats but is constantly throwing a hand in his man's face. An all-around scorer, Thompson's clockwork jumper opens up other parts of his game, allowing him easy driving lanes and extra defenders (where he almost always hits the open man). Given the right amount of responsibility, Thompson could feasibly evolve into the Warriors' best player down the line.
WEAKNESSES (-): Outside of shooting over smaller guards, Thompson does not use his height in any sort of meaningful way. He isn't an impressive rebounder for a 2-guard, he doesn't block many shots on smaller opponents, and while he uses them all over the place, Thompson has no interest in setting solid screens for his teammates. Thompson is also a bit athletically overmatched and will get beat by quick and/or strong guards alike. He has yet to go into a true cold spell, so it will be interesting to see how Thompson handles the adversity when his jumper isn't falling. He shows no game with his back-to-the-basket and hasn't the slightest clue in how to crash the boards when his big men are getting beat. Overall, Thompson has many fixable mistakes and if he hopes to remain effective, he'll need to address them (as teams zoned into him during the final 2 weeks of the season and his percentages dropped across the board).
Offensive game… 4.5/5
Defensive game….. 2/5
Intangibles………….. 4/5
Skill……………………… 4/5
Effort…………………… 4/5
STRENGTHS (+): Among the most fundamentally sound players to hit the pro game in the past 10 years, Steph Curry's masterfully crafted skillset is often reserved for the true greats of the game. He can catch-and-shoot with his momentum taking him entirely away from the basket. He shoots free throws in the mid-90 percentile. He uses the rim against shot-blockers and despite being constantly overmatched in the paint, uses a tear-drop floater with cat-burglar release and unreachable arc to score almost on command. Curry has clairvoyant court vision and completes half-court lobs, one-handed zip passes, and no-look drop offs as easily as his marksman-like chest passes. He always makes the defender commit on the fast-break, uses head-fakes and hesitation in the Olajuwon category, and can scoop shots off the glass like a post player. He reads opponents eyes and is usually good for 2 steals every night. Despite all the intangibles, Curry's bread-and-butter is his jumper: a fundamental masterpiece including instantaneous release, stratospheric arc, and excellent follow-through; a weapon that has already made him of the most feared all-around shooter in the game.
WEAKNESSES (-): Curry displays an unattractive laziness at times. He can toss frustrated lukewarm passes in the backcourt after an opponent scores (leading to an additional bucket). He lets his opposition beat him to loose balls. Perhaps most annoying of all, Curry has an insistence upon throwing a one-handed bounce pass at the top of the arc which has been cut off more than it's been completed. Not particularly fast or explosive, Curry doesn't have the first stop to blow by defenders with a simple crossover and must rely (heavily) on his craft and skill. When that becomes too much of a bother, he falls in love with the step-back jumper – which isn't always a bad thing, but doesn't work for long periods of time against lankier or quicker guards. Curry has little to no strength in terms of fortifying his position and gets pushed off course on both screens and on the glass. He has also, to date, failed to become to the team's primary offensive option, even when Monta Ellis would be resting on the bench. Curry's willingness, or lack there of, to put the team on his back remains his biggest question mark.

Hello all; I figured with less than a month until tip-off, I would go ahead and post some of my scouting reports for some of our overseas members - as well as any new Warriors fans or anybody lacking the league-pass to have closely followed guys like Andrew Bogut or Carl Landry. Let's start with the starting lineups and I'll add more if the thread picks up any steam. I'm hoping to generate some convo on the type of styles certain players have and how they'll fit together. Enjoy!

Excellent right up and the points that stood out for me:
Bogut : while he is a top 3 defensive center, they rated him 12-20 on the offensive end, I find to appalling considering the limited amount of skilled Centers. I honestly don't know much about Bogut's offensive game but am guessing he will average over 15 per game, which to me rates him way above the 12-20 centers offensive Lee. Lee: My question is why doesn't Lee Bulk up a bit, I don't believe the idea that if you gain muscle you lose speed, take a look at Lebron, from high school to now he transformed his body, and still maintains elite speed, but his power now, dudes like a brick. Strength matters in the league and in basketball. Ok, some might now argue the point that Kevin Love has actually lost weight since he entered the league, and he is putting crazy numbers, but In feel that is due to the fact his team lacks players capable, plus Klove is the most instinctive basketball rebounder in the league. The fact he lacks bulk has seen more Klove on the perimeter than the block, same can be said for Lee, and we need our PF on the block. Klay: Lights out jumper, pretty good assement, Reggie Miller 2.0 Curry: needs to really focus, I don't see that killer instinct in him sometimes, its his team now with no monta around. |
I doubt Lee bulking up would help him at pf. It won't improve his lateral speed. Amare bulked up and it hindered his game. When you bulk up, you gain more weight in general, it ain't easy to play bulked up. You can't compare him to Lebron. Lee is a finesse player, bulking up would take him away from that. It could make him more injury prone. Besides, Lee is already about 250 pounds. How much more do you want your 6 foot 9 pf to weigh? That isn't exactly light. |
Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'm glad a couple of you are interested in these. Let's address some of the points warriorsstepup brought to the plate:
Oh, don't get me wrong: Bogut can be a Top 10 offensive center when he feels the urge to dominate. The problem is similar to Mike Dunleavy Jr's issue from a few years back: the man can be flat-out passive. As it stands, in a purely offensive sense, I'd take Andrew Bynum, Dwight Howard, Nene, DeMarcus Cousins, Roy Hibbert, Al Horford, Brook Lopez, Chris Kaman, Greg Monroe, Marc Gasol, and Marcin Gortat over Bogut. That's off the top of my head. And already, that knocks him out of the Top 10. I bet if I combed the list of NBA centers, I could name you 5 or 6 more guys with a superior offensive game to Andrew Bogut. Offense isn't the big Aussie's calling card. Now, that's not to say he isn't a top 5 NBA center when healthy. Honestly, I've watched Bogut, Chandler, and Howard all play the pivot and Andrew Bogut is easily the smartest of all 3 men when it comes to executing on defense. In my estimation, he's second only to Howard - and it's purely because Howard's a genetic freak that can block shots above the backboard. If all physical gifts were equal, Bogut is the top defensive center in the game. He's an excellent piece to this team... but, again, offensively, he's pretty mild and I think Warriors fans expecting - as you said - 15 points per game are going to be disappointed. In 30 or 32 minutes per night, expect Bogut to collect around 12 points on 7 or 8 shots. Half the time, he'll leave the game in single digits.
Hey, you'll never get an argument from me that adding strength or power is a bad thing. But what exactly are we trying to accomplish here? Lee already rebounds at the highest level possible (9.6 RPG on his career) and his offensive game isn't limited by his strength. Even on defense, Lee is pretty useful when it comes to shoving big men off the low block. It's not muscle David Lee is lacking; its side-to-side speed. His problems stem from not being able to stay in front of his man and not being able to box out frenetically active rebounders. If you ask me, his strength is already in tip-top condition.

The reason I mentioned Lee and adding bulk is hopes it might provide him with some power aka the reason he plays the PF position. I know he is more a finesse player as mentioned, and maybe power might hinder his ability. While he is a great rebounder how does he do against other opponents and keeping them off the glass, as the article mentioned he might get his rebounds but so does the opposition. Rebounding is about position, strength, and conditioning.
And when I say bulked up am not say, stiff, hulk bulk, just want to see some cuts, see the effort on the muscles, look at Lee's arms. Since you mentioned the other Centers I can see how he can be categorized in the top 10. This season will open my eyes about Boguts game. |
I dunno if I agree with you two regarding Lee purely as a "finesse" player. I'd say he's a hybrid. Sure, he has the grace to knock down jumpers and put the ball on the floor, but he's an absolute terror on the glass and sets a flattening screen. He's far from soft, IMHO.
Lee is in no way, shape, or form a "terror" on the glass. He's probably a career 8 rebounds a game player and although that is effective, he is FAR from being a menace on the board. Don't get me wrong though; David Lee can be a valuable piece on a winning team, but he has to have the right people around him. Just like how Philli surrounded Allen Iverson with big time defensive players is the same way how David Lee needs top defensive players on his team to overlook his defensive short comings. I like Lee as much as the next guy, but I think you give him way too much credit.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Shoulv'e looked it up before I posted, but Lee averages 9.6 rebounds a game in his career. Although that is a highly effective rebounding rate, I think we can agree that it is not worthy of saying that he is any better than a good rebounder.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I respectfully disagree, bro. Lee has averaged 10 or more rebounds in 3 of the past 5 seasons. He's had multiple games with 20 or more boards. As I said above, he's a career 9.6 per game rebounder. Sure, you can make a case that he's not THE single best rebounder (like Kevin Love), but I dunno how you honestly can say with a straight face that Lee is simply a "good" rebounder and nothing more. For 2 years running, he's pretty much been a non-stop double-double machine.
The Warriors went from dead last in the league (30th) the season before to 19th in the league in total rebounds the year after adding Lee. Now, I'm not claiming he solved all the issues on the glass, god knows they still need help and hopefully Bogut and Landry address a lot of that, but the fact remains, after the Warriors added David Lee (and lost Turiaf and Randolph), they jumped 11 spots in the rebounding column. That's a huge improvement. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
If the Warriors can't rebound with Bogut and Lee, what would the reason for that be iyo? |
Well, I can only imagine it would be similar to the '10-'11 season when Lee made his Warrior debut: he and Andris did a formidable job combating the glass in the starting lineup, but centers typically can't play above the shallow 30's in minutes and, literally, outside of Lee and Biedrins, there wasn't a single Warrior interested in clearing the boards. Likewise this season, I expect Bogut and Lee to be enforcers on the glass (particularly on the defensive end, where the Warriors surrender more offensive rebounds than any other team in the league last year)... but if the guards can't help occasionally and if the bench doesn't rebound, it'll be curtains again. Udoh, as good a shot-blocker as he was, didn't clear boards, and he was the team's 3rd big man a year ago. With the collapse of Biedrins' game, my hope is that Harrison Barnes can be good for at least 5 rebounds from the 3 spot, along with dudes like Ezeli, Jefferson, and Landry providing off the bench. Fitgerald loves to say it, and it's true: EVERYONE's gotta rebound. If you're relying on two dudes to provide your entire team with possessions, you're in trouble. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
It will be interesting to see Lee's numbers, in particular his rebounding numbers, next to Bogut. He has to rebound as he has or he will not be a good PF. I think the team should be a top ten rebounding team this season.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
I see no reason why he wouldn't. Lee's a better rebounder than Bogut.
Sharing the glass with someone almost always nets you less rebounds, though. That's what happened to Dream when Sir Charles arrived. Lee might concievably end up with 8 or 9 boards instead of 10 next year. And I dunno if I'd say he's not a good player, if that's the case. David Lee is a potential #1 scoring option; he literally carried the Warriors offense and kept them from being unwatchable all of last year, with the entire team draping him in coverage.

The head louse is a tiny, wingless insect that lives among human hairs and feeds on extremely small amounts of blood. Lice (the plural of louse) are a very common problem. Kids are most likely to get lice, but teens can get them too.
Lice aren't dangerous. They don't spread disease. But they are contagious, so they can spread from person to person easily. They're also annoying: louse bites can itch. If someone scratches a lot, it may lead to skin irritation and even infection.
A head louse can survive up to 30 days on a person's head and can lay eight eggs a day. Since that means lice can multiply fast, it's a good idea to treat head lice quickly.
Lice are tiny, but you can still see them — though it's not always easy. An adult louse is grayish white or tan and about the size of a small sesame seed. Lice move fast, so you're actually more likely to see their eggs than the lice themselves.
Louse eggs are called nits. Nits look sort of like dandruff, except they don't brush or fall off as easily as dandruff. Lice attach their nits to pieces of hair, close to the scalp. If you think you have lice and see a small, oval blob on a strand of hair, it's probably a nit.
If nits are yellow, tan, or brown, it means the lice haven't hatched yet. If the nits are white or clear, the lice have hatched and just the egg remains. Lice eggs hatch within 1 to 2 weeks after they're laid.
Besides seeing nits or lice on the head, itching — or the feeling of something moving around on the scalp — is another clue that you might have lice. Like mosquito bites, the itching is a reaction to the saliva of the insect. Some people with lice also get a rash of small red bumps from scratching.
Lice cannot jump or fly. They spread from person to person when people's heads touch or after sharing things like hats and other clothing, combs, brushes, headbands, or barrettes. Lice can live up to 2 days without feeding on a person, so you also can get lice from pillowcases, sheets, blankets, sleeping bags, and other bedding.
Lice have nothing to do with personal hygiene. Lice love everyone, including the cleanest kid in the class! Lice spread in schools and other group settings (like camp or even slumber parties) because these are places where people are in close contact. One reason why kids get lice more often than teens is because kids play together closely and often share more stuff.
You can't get lice from a pet. Lice are "species specific," meaning that people can't catch lice from pets and pets can't catch the kind of head lice that people get.
If you think you have lice, call your doctor. Your doctor can recommend a medicated shampoo, cream rinse, or lotion to kill the lice. These may be over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription treatments. It all depends on what your doctor thinks will work best for you.
Lice can be hard to get rid of. If you still have lice 2 weeks after you started treatment, let your doctor know. Your doctor may want to try a different medication or repeat treatment in case any nits were left behind and hatched after treatment.
Lice are insects, so the treatments for lice are basically insecticides or pesticides. To avoid getting overexposed, you'll need to follow the directions carefully when it comes to how much to use and how often to use it. Medicated lice treatments usually kill the lice and nits, but it may take a few days for the itching to stop.
As an alternative to chemical treatments, your doctor may recommend wet combing — using a fine-tooth comb on wet hair to remove nits and lice. You may have heard that petroleum jelly, mayonnaise, or olive oil can suffocate head lice, but these treatments aren't really effective.
Scratching a lot can lead to a scalp infection. Call your doctor as soon as possible if:
Your doctor may want to treat an infection with antibiotics.
If your doctor says you have lice or nits, call your school to let them know and stay home. Most schools allow students to return after one topical treatment has been completed, but your school will let you know what its policy is.
When treating lice, there are a few things you should not do:
Lice can be tricky to get rid of because nits can remain unhatched on your head or you might pick up lice that are still on bedding or other items. Here's what to do if you've had lice — or someone in your family has:
Here are some ways to avoid getting lice in the first place:

A critical component in the training of graduate students in psychology is research methods and statistics. The psychology department of NSSR has long offered courses in both these areas, and the present course aims at providing a bridge course, which focuses on the relationship between the design of an empirical study (correlational, quasi-experimental, experimental, etc.), and the data analytical techniques that can be used to extract valuable information from the data so collected. In the course we start from students' research questions and possible datasets, and we discuss the appropriate course of action in terms of data preparation (e.g. checking for distributions and data-transformation, identifying univariate and multivariate outliers) and the specific statistical techniques to be used. In case data from students are available, we will use them to conduct the analyses, so that students have the added benefit of having an in-depth analysis of their research data. If not, we will use data sets that mirror what students may collect in their own research. Analyses will be done with the aid of SAS, which is a powerful and flexible statistical package. Therefore the first few seminars will be devoted to learn its jargon.

Pretty good menu. I've always had good luck with Kona.
15900 La Cantera Parkway, San Antonio, TX 78256
the filet is fantastic. several options for gf and all tasty so far.
3573 E Longwing Ln, Meridian, ID 83646
Nice GF menu. Able to eat some of the sushi...lovely. Staff friendly and knowledgable...even verified with chef on a special for me (wasn't GF but chef said he could make a change for me if I wanted it). I love when they are willing to make alterations and don't act like its a hardship. Loved the dessert!!!
11410 Century Oaks Terrace, Austin, TX 78758
Great service and food was amazing. Had the Kona Chopped Salad and the grilled salmon. They were very clear about the modifications they made to it and marked it as a Food Allergy. Would go back again
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Great place to go in Baltimore for someone with celiac disease or an intolerance. The sushi was fresh, gf soy sauce was great, fresh pickled ginger yummy. We really enjoyed the kona salad too. Dedicated gf menu makes things easy. Would be great if they offered gluten free buns instead of without options. Overall great place. I recommend it.
2224 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295
Understood gf issues. Very careful. Good food. Noisy atmosphere.
5061 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77056
Great service and good selection on gf menu with gf soy sauce available. Unfortunately it is the saltiest soy sauce I have ever had.
3051 Butterfield Road, Oakbrook, IL 60523
Excellent sushi and lots of gluten free options. I've eaten here many times and have never gotten sick.
4134 W. Boy Scout Blvd, Tampa, FL 33607
Ask for the gluten free menu, and the gf soy sauce. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, my server was awesome and it was a lower price than I thought it would be. At first, I thought the sushi menu was pretty small and I was let down, but after I tasted the sushi, I knew it was high quality. Did not get sick after eating here.
940 Milwaukee Avenue, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
The food is great. The gf menu are items that are served without modification. They will modify some regular menu items on request.
3573 E Longwing Ln, Meridian, ID 83646
Has some very good sushi options and a dedicated menu for gluten free.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Delicious food, wonderful presentation. They have a dedicated GF menu that even includes a dessert! The fish is incredibly fresh. They are well known for their sushi (which I did nothabe), and there are several selections on the GF menu. They have a vegan menu, as well. Felt very safe eating there.
14395 Clay Terrace Blvd, Clay Terrace, Carmel, IN 46032
Servers are very aware of all food allergies. Never had any issues in several meals. Last one stood out as exceptional, however. My daughter is both celiac and has a peanut allergy; on our last visit the server ensured the kitchen used dedicated workstations and were very communicative, telling us what was being done along the way. Will definitely return!
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Great sushi and gf soy sauce! Really good happy hour deals too!
30 E Big Beaver Rd, Troy, MI 48083
Really nice food. Didn't have much of a problem finding a meal. I liked that they offer more than just salad.
2224 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295
Loud and busy. Very limited gluten free sushi rolls (only 4 options) and no buns for burgers. Food was good though.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
So happy we came here! Separate GF menu, GF soy sauce (!!!!!!), fantastic sushi (it really worked for me because I am a tuna freak, so I might be a touch biased), and knowledgeable staff (Austen was wonderful and ready to accommodate with some sashimi items that come with premade sauces!). I had the Houston roll, spicy yellowtail roll, and 2pc octopus. Houston roll was so good I split another one with hubby. Hubs had the avocado eggroll (not GF but smelled incredible), yellowtail sashimi w/ jalapeno (not GF, but pretty), and we shared the passion fruit creme brulee (amazeballs). Even the blackberry iced tea was great (actual tea, not tea with blackberry syrup). I am one happy, happy pregnant lady with a tummy full of deliciousness.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Puny gluten-free menu. The waitress told me I couldn't get GF nigiri, since it wasn't on the menu. What I did get was the worst sushi of my life and I live in Iowa!
511 US Highway 1, Iselin, NJ 08830
had my birthday dinner there a few months ago and had an amazing experience. Staff very knowledgeable and they always check before they give you an answer.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
The food was excellent. I had the ahi tuna and yellowtail tuna sushi. They were both amazing. The staff was very knowledgable. They had GF soy sauce for the sushi!!
750 South Rampart Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89145
The sushi roll with 'soy paper' was gross. The staff does not have a very good knowledge of gluten free- they put soy sauce on my table when I had just gotten done telling them I'm gluten free.
940 Milwaukee Avenue, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
Went here for their happy hour deal and was thrilled with their service! Our server was very helpful and they modified one of the regular dishes to be gluten free for me. Could not have been more pleased :)
14395 Clay Terrace Blvd, Clay Terrace, Carmel, IN 46032
Absolutely amazing customer service, extremely celiac-conscious and outstanding gluten-free food! They also prepare all gluten-free meals in a completely separate kitchen... I have never gotten sick after eating here. My favorite place to go :)
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Good selection on GF menu. Food was delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Kid friendly.
3000 East 1st Ave, Denver, CO 80206
They lost gluten free options as sandwiches without bread. This is a major pet peeve of mine. But, they do carry gluten free soy sauce, so there is a limited amount of sushi and sashimi that you safely eat.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Everyone I talked to understood my gluten free needs. There are a decent amount of choices on the gluten free menu (yes, they have a separate gf menu). The food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back!
8687 North Central Expy, Dallas, TX 75225
Miso sake seabass is by far the best GF entree at any restaurant in DFW. I order with rice and bok choy, so delicious but $$$. Steak is also good and mashed potatoes and salads. Update: They took it off the menu, then for 6 months told me it was gluten free, just the side dishes were not. Then suddenly they told me it was not gluten free. Manager double checked and said that the miso changed, and it is not gluten free now.
7014 E Camelback Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
A GF menu with an impressive number of choices & dessert. Excellent food.
940 Milwaukee Avenue, Lincolnshire, IL 60069
I eat the gf turkey burger here and it is delicious! The gf menu is really just regular menu items with certain things removed like a bun, a topping, etc. Overall not spectacular but will do the job. They need to add a few appetizers to the gf menu. I like to go for appetizers and a glass of wine but not really an option here.
3051 Butterfield Road, Oakbrook, IL 60523
05/13. Excellent!! Good & caring server. Had chicken honey mustard salad-awesome! Sat outside-lovely! A lil pricey tho!
3051 Butterfield Road, Oakbrook, IL 60523
AMAZING! Suprisingly the best sushi I've had in the midwest. Lots of great gf food on the Happy Hour menu.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Sushi was good. Salad was ok. Knowledgeable staff.
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
Good experience here. Knowledgeable and caring.
11410 Century Oaks Terrace, Austin, TX 78758
Only thing that's gluten free is the sushi. Everything else is pretty much off limits. Soy sauce is used in dishes or items are crusted with panko.
14395 Clay Terrace Blvd, Clay Terrace, Carmel, IN 46032
I've ate here several times and have really enjoyed their gluten free menu. Great atmosphere
1 East Pratt St., Baltimore, MD 21202
The food was good, service was friendly and knowledgeable to our issue. You just have to ask for the GF menu, as it's a separate sheet. Knowing I could not eat the fries, the waiter offered me a salad. It came with 2 croutons. He offered an apology and to replace the whole salad. As I'm not super sensitive, I just removed them. This will not keep me from eating there again, but I will be sure to ask for no croutons.
2224 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295
Everyone understood gf issues. Delicious food. They cared about my experience and didn't want me sick. Have gone back several times. A bit loud and busy for my style.
295 N 170th Street, Omaha, NE 68118
Food was delicious. Service was great. Definitely would go there again.
3111 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226
They have a small gluten free menu with vegetarian and vegan options. It's nice to enjoy sushi with friends even though the menu is limited!
4134 W. Boy Scout Blvd, Tampa, FL 33607
Best gluten free sushi I've ever had! Went there twice and both times were consistent and delicious!
30 E Big Beaver Rd, Troy, MI 48083
Menu denotes gluten free items but very limited menu. We walked out.
750 South Rampart Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89145
Love this place! They have a good variety of gf menu items. Plus the vibe is energetic, and drinks are yummy.
15900 La Cantera Parkway, San Antonio, TX 78256
So good! My husband got Taro chips with his meal and I asked if they were gluten free. They weren't because of being fried in common oil but they baked some so I could try them!

Rockford Fosgate Awarded U.S. Patent For 'CLEAN' Circuit Technology in Punch and new Power Amplifiers.
Rockford Fosgate, the industry leader in high-performance car audio systems, announced that its C.L.E.A.N. level setting technology, currently featured in its PUNCH and new POWER amplifiers, has been awarded a U.S. Patent (#8712066). This technology helps match the vehicle's source unit to the amplifier, therefore optimizing the amplifier's gain settings to produce optimum power output. This is all done by on-board clipping detectors. "Adjusting your amplifier gain to match the maximum usable output voltage of the audio source is an often misunderstood task," explained David Baker, Rockford Corp. director of electrical engineering. "It is known that accurate gain setting is essential to achieving optimum system performance. With the ability of C.L.E.A.N. to indicate the audio sources maximum capability, the feature serves to quickly and easily answer the question 'Where do I set my gain?' Incorporating this technology into our products enhances performance and improves ease-of-use." C.L.E.A.N. (Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise) level setting is a Rockford Fosgate-developed technology with on-board input/output clipping indicators, allowing the installer to precisely tune the amplifier to the optimum power for their desired performance before clipping occurs and, thus, eliminating speaker-damaging distortion. Three indicators (blue, blue/red, red) on the amplifier's top mount control boards monitor the exact point in which the ideal signal and power are being utilized. Once this occurs, the "blue/red" indicator tells the installer that optimum performance has been achieved, and so once set it never has to be configured again. "The C.L.E.A.N. patent award is a great achievement, and I congratulate all of my Rockford teammates that contributed to an outstanding result," added Baker.

Hey guys 'n' gals,
In the spirit of "tapping the hive mind," I've got a few enigmatic questions for y'all:
-- What sort of book titles do you think could be found on the Voodoo Lady's bookshelf? Y'know, things like "The Joy of Hex," or "Screams of My Father."
-- For reasons that defy explanation, we're trying to enumerate dozens of unique kinds of winds, things like "The Wind the Blows Off Your Hat," or "The Wind that Sounds Remarkably Like an Unhappy Echidna." Can you think of any others?
-- Lastly, what's your pirate name?
Not promising anything,
Mike "Sleepy Boy" Stemmle

It's what a politician's hands become when they are suddenly thrust into the spotlight. It takes some serious time to polish and groom this look as they feel that keeping their hands together at chest level, whilst gesticulating, makes us citizens feel that they are more trustworthy. Behind closed doors, they're hands return to their normal function.
Damn! That candidate looks like he's the real deal! I can tell because his Politic Hands show me that he would never steer us wrong!

Information Resolution on the Windows Phone Series 7
In his iPhone Resolution video, information design expert Edward Tufte praised the information density and content resolution of the device. Known for evaluating Web interface designs by counting the quantity of links present, Tufte is a big proponent of clarifying information by adding detail, not "computer administrative debris."
Computer administrative debris reduces information resolution and steals content space away from the user. The iPhone brilliantly suppresses much admin debris. The idea is that the content is the interface, the information is the interface, not computer administrative debris.
In particular, Tufte called out the iPhone's Photos application as an example of clarifying information by adding detail. "In this collection of photographs, many information elements are arranged on the same surface as the user scans 150 images arranged in a two dimensional small multiple format."
With this in mind, it's interesting to compare the information density of the iPhone's photos experience with Microsoft's Window Phone 7 Series experience. The iPhone's first screen concisely lists available photo sets and with one tap drops people into a dense grid of images where the user interface is minimal and transparent enough to enable the entire screen to display content.
The Windows Phone 7 Series begins with a top-level navigation menu consisting of three options. A quick tap on "albums" brings up a similar listing of images but with substantially more interface elements. It's also a bit unclear if all the pictures in an album will be listed in this view or if another tap on the album title is required (adding a third step to the navigation process).
The differences in information resolution between the iPhone and Windows Phone are even more stark in the application store features. In addition to seven ways of finding and filtering apps, Apple's App Store displays four apps complete with icon, title, publishing, average rating, number of ratings, and price.
Marketplace on the Windows Phone features one application with an icon, title, and one-line description. One touch gesture (drag/flick) later, there's a menu consisting of six items. Tapping on "applications" takes you to another featured application. One more drag/flick and you are finally seeing three applications you can download. Contrast the amount of information present on this screen (the fourth in the process) with the amount shown on the iPhone's initial App Store display.
It will be interesting to see if these differences in information resolution have an impact on the overall user experience of using the Windows Phone 7 Series.
While the Windows Phone 7 Series user interface may not be optimized for high information resolution, it does make interesting use of teases and transitions, which I wrote about today.

I've been using windows phone to compare the UI. What I can so far is that they added a different perspective of daily tasks. KInd of confusing, indeed.
Or... Microsoft could just be overcompensating for their tardiness with lots of UI flashiness. Nah...
I think which level of information density depends on how the user views their phone. Consider that people's houses waste a lot of space in purely practical terms. Your average living room could just as easily squeeze in a treadmill and a Bowflex along with the expected furniture. But people prefer some space. Pictures on the wall, too are wholly unnecessary and yet people put them up.
Being a highly pragmatic person, I gravitate toward very practical UIs, but I know there are a good number of people who would just as soon regard their phone as a digital living room, enjoying the visual experience of doing whatever they do.

Head Start
Rep. Kuster derides cuts that limit Head Start
Because of the 20 percent cut in Head Start programing, Southwestern Community Services, which serves Cheshire and Sullivan counties, was forced to close a classroom in Keene and Newport, accepting 47 fewer children this year. The cuts meant laying off two teachers, two aides and a family advocate.
A panel made up of staff and Head Start parents made the decision to close the two Head Start classrooms.
Centers like Drewsville and Jaffrey have only one classroom, so closing either of those classrooms would have meant closing the center there.
"It's not just the education of the child," Weber said. "I say we enroll families, we don't enroll a child. … As a team and a center we are there to make sure the family is succeeding on all levels, not just education of their child."
"Some of our families come from families that are in disarray, but our Head Start family is their family so some of the only family strength that they have is when their child is at Head Start," Weber said.
"I guess the saddest thing is 47 children aren't going to get those day to day experiences and they are not going to become champions and learn all those things that these other children are getting to learn," Paquette said.
"All of a sudden it means we have parents that are unable to go to work. It also goes beyond that, the people that we were paying to clean the classrooms and doing other things to support the program and all of a sudden they don't have jobs," Manning said.
"This is the most dysfunctional institution I have ever joined in my entire life," she said.
