Why not driconf?
It's the standard way for these on linux, and would also support the env var. But in addition it would allow static configuration, and optionally via a GUI - you can say "I always want MSAA 8x for ET, but 0x for ETQW", without making wrapper scripts for those or exporting a global value in your environment, which would affect the compositor and possibly hurt.

"Hank Lover!!!!!"
This book kept the family in stitches!!!! The kids loved the songs. Don't miss it.
"A Review from an 11 year old prairie lover!"
This is one of the best books. It was funny and light-hearted. I could really relate to the main character. My little brother and mum loved the book, as well. I recommend this book to all blog loving, text typing teens!
"Review from an 11yr old and her brother, 9yrs old"
The Callahan stories are really good. Each story has a moral at the end, and a really sensible way of putting it together. The characters are all likeable and the girls always seem to find themselves in some sort of trouble. Start with the first one and listen to them all, you will grow with them! Good for boys and girls!
"Review from the Back of the Car-11yr and 9yr old"
Hank is the best! We love listening to these stories. He makes us laugh ourselves silly! This story wasn't the best Hank book. It seemed to start slow, but in true Hank fashion, by the end we were all laughing in the car. Still worth a listen, especially if you are a chocolate lover!
"From a Dinosaur Mad Eight Year Old and His Mum"
This is a very enjoyable book. The narrator was perfect for it and had a soothing voice. Perfect for a bedtime story. The book reminded me of a Enid Blyton book, innocent enough, with a strong sense of imagination, but some good climax moments for children. My son didn't want to stop listening. We loved the first book 'A Diniosaur named Minivera' too!
"Epic! ( An eleven yr olds review)"
This book is one of the best books that I have listened to.
I loved how Marty stood up for the love of Shiloh.
The reader was really good. He made me believe that he was telling the story about himself. He really suited the character. He made the story to life.
The Best Dog Story Ever!!!!
"The Best Dinosaur Story! ( an 8 yr old review)"
Cool, Super, Great!
Minerva was a wonderful dinosaur. She didn't come across the way you would expect a dinosaur to act. She was polite and full of good character.
I stayed int he car so that I could continue to listen when we got home. It was really good.
I am waiting for Mom to buy me the next one.
"Awesome! ( an Eleven Year Olds Review)"
It is an exciting story with so many aspects of the african culture spread through it. The first three minutes of the story is very scaryso I would skip that part and I would suggest that you skip it too! The rest of the story is very good.
There isn't another book that I have listened to that compares with this one.
When the giraffe helped the girl escape from the snake.
I really felt for the characters. I held my breathe several times during the story. It kept me interested all the way through
"Hannahs Review"
It was so funny. I loved all the songs. He is a great reader. I think everyone will crack up.
"Hannahs review"
This story was an interesting idea but it was lost in its delivery. Too many songs. Annoying little girls voice. But a funny Chimpaneze voice. I couldn't get into it
"Star Struck"
This story kept the kids interest however it was full of evolution jargin. It reads as a story with scientific information added at the end of each chapter. This information relied completely on evolution being the only explanation for space and beyond. My kids got impatient with the scientific matter and wanted to move onto the story. There is a heavy science lesson in each chapter.

MaxShould Have Listened To The ReviewsI read the reviews and I should listened to the bad ones because they were all true. Too hot to hold, they don't stay on stand, don't stay in hair and does not curl well at all.posted Nov 19, 2011Link to this post
Kim S.MeltedThese rollers are terrible, they melted while heating. They produced nice results before they melted. The clips do not hold them in your hair securely. And no they were no plugged in for a long time.posted Feb 20, 2011Link to this post
Gerry H.HairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairToo Hot To HandleI WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THESE ROLLERS. THEY GET WAY TOO HOT AND THE CLIPS DON'T HOLD.posted Jan 25, 2011Link to this post
CynthiaSonoma, CaHairAuburnDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairTruly An Ultra Curl!Very difficult to find a Great Set of Large Rollers for travel...hark! I love this set of 5 rollers, though the down-side is the clip is not large enough for the roller to meet the scalp/head for attachment. No problem for me as I have purchased enough rollers to have a set of clips that works with this brand. My hair is cork-screw curly and this set gives me the softness I desire with very little effort----the best part---it fits in my Travel-Pro perfectly!posted Dec 1, 2010Link to this post
MarilynHairBlondeUse Conair Clips With Hotsetter Ultra 05 Travel RollersIf you use the clips that come with the rollers, these rollers are difficult to use. However, if you use the Conair clips to hold the rollers then these rollers are amazing!posted Nov 27, 2010Link to this post
NatashaWhy Can't Someone Make 2I love this product with the exception of 2 things.
1) The rollers are 1.75" which is great, but why can't they make them 2".
2) I need 12 of these rollers in one set.posted Oct 8, 2010Link to this post -
SandyOklahomaBad DesignI have the Hot Tools 20 pc set like this and thought these would be the same quality. Not so! The rollers are way too hot to touch and the "cool tip" end serves no purpose. Too small to evan grab with the tiniest fingers. Also, the rollers don't stay put on the small heating element like it should. I just wasted shipping money on this product!posted May 22, 2010Link to this post
JudyFrankfurt, GermanyAwful, Won't Stay In Hair.I was so excited about getting these giant travel rollers. and I am soooo disappointed. The reviews were so good...the clips that come with them are inadequate. I have med length hair, the clips wont hold the roller at the top of my hair, they fall out or fall limp, instead of staying at the crown to give me height and body. The lid to the case wont stay on well, and so it is not a good item to pack. The rollers dont have posts to sit on to get hot, they have short little nubs and so do not stay on there to move from your bag to the counter, etc. they fall all over the place. I am returning the item. I have enjoyed all the other products I have purchased from Folica.com.posted Dec 29, 2008Link to this post
Peggy M OneilNorth CarolinaLove These RollersI also wish that they came with more than 5 rollers, just got my second set, used old ones to the metal, had to toss them finally. I have long fine hair, they give me lots of volume. Im thrilled to have found another set. Have not been able to find any in this size anywhere.PeggyNorth Carolinaposted Jun 11, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousSeattle WABest Travel And Every Day RollersI love them, the biggest hot rollers I can find ....and I have tried many. Also, agree they would be better with 6 rollers, but then that would make it too big to fit in my carry-on. I just would not be without them. Just remember to change the setting to the correct power when out of the country or else you fry the unit...posted Jun 7, 2008Link to this post

Choose another variety
We do not sell these varieties but they may be available from other fruit tree nurseries. Use our enquiry form and we will help you find a supplier.
The following varieties are completely incompatible with your King of the Pippins tree. They cannot pollinate your tree, and your tree will not pollinate them either.
Adams's Pearmain, Blenheim Orange, Irish Peach, Northern Spy, Reinette du Canada, Spigold
Please note that our whilst our system takes many relevant factors into account, it is certainly not completely accurate
Our article on the pollination of fruit trees gives more details of the factors involved in pollination.
It is worth remembering that crab apple trees make excellent pollinators for almost any apple variety. This is because they produce very large quantities of pollen over a long period and are (with some exceptions) only distantly related to mainstream apple varieties so their pollen is highly compatible.

The Creation Of The Universe
Chapter III: The Rhythm of The AtomsIf the world's finest minds can unravel only with difficulty the deeper workings of nature, how could it be supposed that those workings are merely a mindless accident, a product of blind chance?Paul Davies, Professor of Theoretical Physics 31 Scientists are in general agreement that, on the basis of calculations, the Big Bang took place about 17 billion years ago. All the matter making up the universe was created from nothingness but with the wonderful Creation that we talked about in the first two chapters. Nevertheless, the universe that emerged from the Big Bang could have been much different from the one that did emerge–ours. For example, if the values of four fundamental forces were different, the universe would have consisted of only radiation and become a tissue of light with no stars, galaxies, human beings, or anything else. Due to the extraordinary perfect balance of those four forces, "atoms"–the building-blocks of that which is called "matter"–came into being. Scientists are also in general agreement that the first two simplest elements–hydrogen and helium–began to form during the first fourteen seconds after the Big Bang. The elements were formed as a result of a reduction in the universal entropy that was causing matter to scatter everywhere. In other words, at first the universe was just an amassing of hydrogen and helium atoms. If it had remained so, again there could have been no stars, planets, stones, soil, trees, or human beings. It would have been a lifeless universe consisting of only those two elements. Carbon, the fundamental element of life, is a much heavier element than hydrogen and helium. How did it come into being? Searching for an answer to this question, scientists stumbled upon one of the most surprising discoveries of this century. The Structure of the ElementsChemistry is a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and with the transformations that they undergo. The bedrock of modern chemistry is the periodic table of elements. First laid out by Russian chemist Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleyev, the elements in the periodic table are arranged according to their atomic structures. Hydrogen occupies the first place in the table because it is the simplest of all the elements, consisting of only one proton in its nucleus and one electron revolving around it. Protons are subatomic particles that carry a positive electrical charge in the nucleus of an atom. Helium, with two protons, occupies the second place in the periodic table. Carbon has six protons and oxygen has eight. All the elements differ in the number of protons that they contain. 1. Neutron, 2. Proton (+), 3. Elektron (-) Another particle present in the nucleus of an atom is the neutron. Unlike protons, neutrons do not carry an electrical charge: they are neutral in other words, hence their name. The third basic particle of which atoms are composed is the electron, which has a negative electrical charge. In every atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same. Unlike protons and neutrons however, electrons are not located in the nucleus. Instead, they move around the nucleus at a very high speed that keeps the positive and negative charges of the atom apart. The differences in atomic structure (the numbers of protons/electrons) are what make the elements different from one another. A crucial rule of (classical) chemistry is that elements cannot be transformed into one another. Changing iron (with twenty-six protons) into silver (with eighteen) would require removing eight protons from the nucleus. But protons are bound together by the strong nuclear force and the number of protons in a nucleus can be changed only in nuclear reactions. Yet all the reactions that take place under terrestrial conditions are chemical reactions that depend on electron exchange and that do not effect the nucleus. In the Middle Ages there was a "science" called alchemy–the forerunner of modern chemistry. Alchemists, unaware of the periodic table or the atomic structures of the elements, thought it was possible to transform one element into another. (A favorite object of pursuit, for reasons that should be apparent, was trying to turn iron into gold.) We now know that what the alchemists were trying to do is impossible under normal conditions such as exist on Earth: The temperatures and pressures required for such a transformation to take place are too enormous to achieve in any terrestrial laboratory. But it is possible if you have the right place to do it in. And the right place, it turns out, is in the hearts of stars.

Terrific Purchase! It took 3 hours to assemble, but if you do it with a partner and while watching Iron Man, it's not so bad. :) Really happy with it. The quality is what you would expect for the price, which is to say, decent enough for our Airbnb rental. If I were buying it for my home, I'd choose something of a higher quality (& price to be sure!).

The Wow Cart This lovely cart is sturdy,hansom, and a work saver. In our tiny kitchen I can stand at the sink or stove and turn around to the "work station" cart for bowls or paper towels or salt and pepper or a plate to serve up. It took some time to put together, but my husband was very organized and studied the directions diligently. Love it

Great Kitchen Storage Cart-Solid!! I was very impressed by the quality of this kitchen cart...especially for the cost!! I have seen similar items in stores for $500+ and not nearly as nice as this cart. The leaf provides an excellent added surface area which I just used for serving up a buffet style dinner for some guests at our home. Made our dining room table more open and roomy for our friends to visit without the table being so cluttered. Because it is on wheels, it made it very easy to bring the buffet set up next to the table so I could easily pass plates to the guests. This item was packaged very well and arrived damage free. Pretty easy to put together...my wife & I did so in about 1 hour of time. The savings of $200 made having to assemble this well worth the effort!! Thanks O.co!!

Diappointed We were disappointed with this purchase and chose to return for a refund because of the following items. The packaging was not sufficient to prevent damage to the item. Several pieces were damaged. The high gloss finish was not applied consistently leaving edges of the product with a rough uneven look. As we examined the pieces that came out of the first box, we found a fly baked right into the finish. Other pieces also had foreign material baked into them which hinted at a poor quality control for this product. We were so disappointed that we requested to return this product for a refund.

OK, not great Functionality: If you don't mind chips, scratches, and flaws on a piece that is still functional, then perhaps you won't mind this item. It is still newly assembled in my kitchen. Thus far it has been functional, for the most part. I haven't used it yet with the leaf extended, but I have at least tried to extend it, and it looks nice and flat. One cabinet door will not close. There is a magnet that is supposed to holds both doors shut, but one keeps swinging back open. I don't know what causes this. Perhaps the door is warped, or one of the hinges is unevenly attached. Either way, I find a diy solution for the cabinet, because I prefer not to deal with returning it at this point. Overall, I needed this cart for storage, and it has met that need. Service: I think the folks who shipped the cart could do a better job of examining their product before sending it out. Otherwise, I have only great things to say about Overstock Customer Support. When I complained about chips and scratches, they were willing to do whatever it took to make me happy, whether it was order replacement parts, pay for a return pickup, etc. If you are picky about scratches and quality, this may not be the right purchase for you. If you expect flaws, and just need storage, and don't mind this price, then I think you'll be happy with this cart. Either way, I continue to do business with overstock, because their customer service is friendly and fair, and fairly hassle-free. Assembly: The hinges and much of the other hardware come already attached to the parts. For example, you needn't attach the drawer tracks to the veneer housing. There is one moment during assembly when two people were required, otherwise I managed most of it on my own. I'm a fairly small female, and it wasn't really that heavy to stand up and move around. I definitely wouldn't have been able to carry the initial package, so make sure at least two people handle the delivery. Size: The dimensions are exactly as stated. Just a tip if you plan to buy this and use it for silverware: The drawers are too small to house any standard sized silverware organizer. However, the drawers are deep, and can hold plenty of other things.

Best Types of Tile for Kitchen Countertops
Tile kitchen countertops are an affordable alternative to traditional solid stone units. Countertop tile can be made from many of the most popular materials, such as granite or quartz, yet costs just a fraction of the price. Tile countertops are also easy to install and repair, making them the perfect project for the DIY homeowner. Shop Tiles ▸ Ceramic.Ceramic tile is made from natural clay that is baked to remove excess moisture. It is available in a wide variety of colors and designs that can be mixed and matched to any kitchen. Ceramic tile is affordable, easy to install and very low maintenance. It is also waterproof and able to withstand high temperatures from hot dishes. If you choose ceramic tile for your kitchen countertops, you should be aware that ceramic tile can crack or chip if heavy objects are dropped on it. To minimize grout stains, you can choose a dark grout and use a grout sealer to protect the seams from dirt. Mosaic.Mosaic tile comes in tiny 1-inch square units. It is often sold in large sheets that are attached to a mesh backer-board, making for easy and fast installation. These tiles can be mixed to create unique patterns and textures, and are very durable. One advantage of mosaic tiles is that they are colored all the way through, so a chip or crack will not be as visible as with ceramic tile. Granite.Granite tile is a natural stone product that is widely popular in kitchen decor. Tiles made from granite offer the beauty of natural stone at a fraction of the cost. Granite tiles often have a mottled surface that helps to hide dirt and fingerprints and are incredibly strong and long-lasting. Like all granite products, these tiles must be sealed after installation and at least once a year for the duration of their use. Quartz.Quartz tile is a manufactured product designed to look similar to granite while offering superior performance. It is made from crushed quartz crystals pressed together with resin. Quartz tile has a smooth and uniform surface with a consistent grain. It is slightly less expensive than granite and is much more durable and long-lasting. Unlike granite, quartz tiles do not need to be sealed. They are completely nonporous, which prevents bacteria from becoming trapped in the surface. Quartz cannot be repaired as easily as granite, however, and it offers none of the natural beauty and color variation of real stone. Shop Tiles See All Guides

Fungal Culture for Fungal Nail Infections
Exam Overview
A fungal culture is used to find out whether fungi are present and, if so, what type of fungus it is.
Your doctor will collect a sample of skin and/or nail fragments (debris) under the infected nail. If a sample of debris cannot be removed, he or she will take a nail sample by lightly scraping the nail near the infected area or by using a small blade to shave off a piece of nail.
Nail or debris samples are placed in a substance that promotes fungus growth to see if any fungi are present. The type of fungus is then identified by using a microscope to look at the shape and pattern of the cells. It is also identified by the color of the cells when they are stained with special dyes.
Why It Is Done
A fungal culture will show whether a fungal nail infection is present and what type of fungus it is. A fungal culture is typically done when a diagnosis is unclear or when treatment of a fungal infection has not been successful. If uncommon fungi are identified, the infection can then be treated with different medicine.
No fungal growth is present. But the test may be done again using more samples taken from other parts of the infected nail. This is because there may no longer be fungi on the edge of the infected area, where it is easiest to scrape for a sample, or in the dead tissue, even if you have a fungal nail infection.
Fungal growth is present, and the type of fungus is identified. Your treatment may depend on the type of fungus present.
What To Think About
Although fungal cultures can identify the type of fungus infection, they are not routinely used because they take a long time and are expensive. Another type of culture test, called the dermatophyte test medium (DTM) culture, can tell if dermatophytes are present. The DTM culture costs less than a traditional fungal culture, can be done in a doctor's office, and gives results in 3 to 7 days.
If your culture is normal, your doctor may do other tests to determine the cause of the nail damage.
Complete the medical test information form (PDF) (What is a PDF document?) to help you prepare for this test.

Yet they still shipped it with their SoC's, they knew the full consequences of doing so and they should be held responsible for their actions in these cases.
To say that Intel is completely open source is a fallacy due to this fact.
Radeon also has a fast bug fix rate, not as high as Intel but still more than other community driver efforts.Bug fix speed for Intel is ~14 days. They are the driving force behind opensource and especially behind opengl. They work very hard with community and drivers are superb.
Nvidia is virtually bug-free. They also don't need community since their driver is superb.
Also, to say that closed source drivers are bad and then to say the community isn't needed because said closed source drivers are 'superb' is very hypocritical.
One should always strive to have both adequate open and closed source drivers, so that if support is dropped on the closed side the open side can continue to support that hardware.
But, as such a proponent for these closed source drivers you seem to miss the point entirely.

Comfortable, feature-packed, and with an eye-catching design, the Sony Vaio EA24FM/W and its combination of Blu-ray and Intel Wireless Display make it an affordable multimedia winner.
Pricing not available
The game maker ends a strong year thanks to its popular shooter franchise, while it also looks ahead to capitalize on the much-hyped Star Wars revival.
The Humble Origin Bundle 2 serves up a great mix of oldies and not-so-oldies, all of them definitely goodies.
Though it's easy to use and having an extra band can result in higher speeds, the Linksys EA9200 doesn't have enough to justify its over-the-top price tag.
This top-rated fantasy RPG normally sells for $20. For a limited time, get it free, no strings attached.
Despite falling profits, EA's quarterly results should impress Wall Street as the company continues focusing its efforts on selling games over the Internet.
It's that time of year. And how can you not love the way EA Sports is announcing it?
Electronic Arts' all-you-can-play service for select video games won't yank titles off the table, says executive Peter Moore.
Want people to know that you're rich? Go and buy the Linksys AC3200 Tri-Band Smart Wi-Fi EA9200 Router. CNET editor Dong Ngo didn't buy it, but that's only because he's better than rich. Really!
The Linksys EA9200 is the second tri-band Wi-Fi router on the market, but it's very expensive at $300.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With a full-frame 18-Mpix CMOS sensor and twin Digic 5+ processers that's capable of continuous bursts of up 12 fps – the fastest of any professional DSLR currently - the Canon EOS-1 Dx is the firm's flagship press camera. We've assessed it with over 100 EF mount lenses, to see how well they perform. Read on to find out which models are the best optically and which, if any, you should avoid. |
In the first part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D, we've assessed a raft of primes from both the maker and third parties to see how well they perform on the camera. As well as highlighting the best performers we've also taken a closer look at the best on a budget. |
After reviewing the Nikon mount ZF.2 version of the Zeiss Sonnar T* 2/135 we've now analyzed the Canon ZE mount model. Read on to find out how well it performs. |
Street photography is an appealing genre for many photographers, and has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the proliferation of small high quality digital cameras and lenses. We've put together a concise round up of moderate wide-angle and telephoto lenses from each of the major camera systems. Read on to see which of the models we've chosen and what to expect from them in terms of image quality. |
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone. |
In the lead up to Photokina 2012, Canon announced the new Canon EOS 6D full-frame entry-point model within days of Nikon publicizing their most-affordable full-frame camera to date, the 24-Mpix D600. While the EOS 6D boasted some attention grabbing features including built-in WiFi and GPS and slightly undercut the Nikon on price, it couldn't match its rival in one or two key areas, namely the less populated AF system and lower resolution sensor. |
Canon were busy in 2012 releasing three wide-angle primes, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, on to the market. The latest launched in November 2012 was the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM as an updated version of the original that dates back to 1990. Featuring Image Stabilization, Canon's USM Ultrasonic autofocus motor, a 'fast' f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle focal length, it looks a great option for Canon shooters into landscape or architectural photography. |
Canon's EF 100mm f/2 USM dates back to the early 1990s, making it one of the camera maker's more veteran lenses. But don't let its age fool you, the lens' continuing popularity among professional and amateur photographers alike proves a classic never dies. |
Affordable. Light. Compact. And a classic. The two-decade-old Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a popular lens known for producing high quality images. Its wide aperture and medium focal length make this Canon product ideal for newbie photographers looking to enhance their portfolio with a portrait lens. |

Mark Power
British, b. 1959
Now that everyone in the developed world seems to own some form of camera, a different space has opened for documentary photographers. It's a space free from specific events, where there are different expectations, where it is first and foremost about ideas. Now we can all take pictures, with varying degrees of ability, it's what we DO with our cameras that counts. "
As a child Mark Power discovered his father's home-made enlarger in the family attic, a contraption consisting of an upturned flowerpot, a domestic light bulb and a simple camera lens.
His interest in photography probably began at this pivotal moment, although he later chose to study painting and drawing instead. He 'became a photographer' (somewhat accidentally) in 1983, and worked in the editorial and charity markets for nearly ten years, before he began teaching in 1992 (Power is currently the Professor of Photography at the University of Brighton).
This move coincided with a shift towards long-term, self-initiated projects, which now sit comfortably alongside a number of large-scale commissions in the industrial sector.
Power's work has been seen in numerous solo and group exhibitions across the world and is in several public and private collections. He has published six books: 'The Shipping Forecast' (1996), 'Superstructure' (2000), 'The Treasury Project' (2002), '26 Different Endings' (2007), 'The Sound of Two Songs' (2010) and 'Mass' (2013).
Mark Power joined Magnum Photos in 2002.

Andrew Bynum has agreed to a two-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. / Gary A. Vasquez, USA TODAY Sports
It's been over a year since Andrew Bynum has played in an NBA game, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have decided he's worth a roll of the dice. A person with direct knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports' Sam Amick that the Cavs and Bynum agreed to terms on a two-year, partially guaranteed contract that could pay as much as $24.5 million. The person requested anonymity because the deal had not been announced publicly by the team.
The first year of Bynum's deal with the Cavs is guaranteed for $6 million, with incentives that could make it worth as much as $12 million. The second year is a team option worth $12.5 million.
Bynum, 25, was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in August as part of the four-team deal that landed Dwight Howard on the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he was plagued by knee injuries all season and did not appear in a game in the 2012-13 season.
In his first seven seasons, Bynum played All-Star-caliber basketball and helped the Lakers win titles in 2009 and 2010, but missed considerable time with injuries. He appeared in 60 of 66 games in the lockout-shortened season in 2012, one of just three times he's appeared in at least 60 games in a season. He has played in just 392 of 656 possible games in his NBA career, including missing the entire 2013 season.
In 2011-12, 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks a game for the Lakers while earning his first All-Star selection.
The signing of Bynum continues a busy offseason for Cleveland that has seen them add No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Bennett, former Golden State Warriors guard Jarrett Jack and former Lakers forward Earl Clark. Their roster currently stands at 14 players.

text: Location: 188th Ave. NE to the City of Redmond / King County border. Current Project Activities: The Contractor will begin mobilizing onto the site in February 2015. Stormwater pond construction will begin soon after. Project Phase: Construction Estimated Timeline: Construction is estimated to begin February 2015 and be completed by winter 2015. Contact: Eric Dawson, 425-556-2723 Description: Union Hill Road Phase III will complete the gap between the previously completed City project to the west (approximately 188th Avenue NE) and the improvements constructed by King County's Novelty Hill Road project (see NE Novelty Hill Road / Union Hill Road for previous project details). The project will include two travel lanes in each direction, a two-way left turn lane, and bike lanes and sidewalk on both sides of the road. These changes collectively improve mobility on NE Union Hill Road for vehicles and trucks to and from southeast Redmond. In addition to improving mobility, this project will construct pedestrian and bike facilities to provide travel choices for residents and employees to walk and bike to and from adjacent parks and commercial areas. This project also constructs two ponds to meet immediate stormwater needs. The regional ponds will provide flow control and water quality for the Union Hill Road Phase III improvements prior to discharging stormwater to Evans Creek. Finally, an improved northeast Union Hill Road will improve traffic operations on other streets in the transportation network by allowing NE 76th Street to remain an internal collector street for traffic within southeast Redmond. Union Hill Road can also serve as an alternate route to Avondale Road for vehicles moving to Union Hill and Novelty Hill. The Union Hill Road Phase III project is funded in part by a Transportation Improvement Board grant and two Department of Ecology grants.

For making gravy, use arrowroot starch or sweet rice flour; these thicken better than wheat flour, anyway. Less lumps. I like to add a dash of dry sherry, brandy or wine.
For a non-dairy sub in pumpkin, squash and sweet potato recipes try coconut milk- it's delicious (full fat tastes best).
Cook carrots in orange juice for a non-dairy flavor boost. Drizzle with a touch of pure maple syrup.
Use raw organic agave nectar or pure maple syrup for adding just the right touch of sweetness to veggies and sauces.
For stuffing, simply follow your favorite recipe and substitute toasted cubes of gluten-free cornbread, or a loaf of store-bought gluten-free white bread.
For a crunchy bread crumb topping try my Crunchy Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs (process toasted GF waffles- they make perfect golden crumbs).
As an all-around basic flour substitute keep a bag of Pamela's Ultimate Baking Mix in the fridge and use it to thicken soup and chili, to coat and dredge pan fried cakes. It also works well as a one to one sub in almost every baking recipe I've converted.
If you avoid dairy or nuts [Pamela's contains buttermilk and almond flour] try an all-purpose gluten free flour blend from Whole Foods, Bob's Red Mill or Gluten Free Pantry.
For a classic cookie crumb pie crust use Pamela's cookies (Lemon or Ginger or Chocolate, depending upon the filling) processed into crumbs; I use Joy of Cooking's classic cookie/cracker crumb recipe and simply substitute with gluten free cookies.
Add turkey leftovers to nachos, soup, chili pasta, and frittata recipes. Or bake up a batch of Turkey and Sweet Potato Enchiladas.
And one last holiday-kissed morsel- a few nut and crumb pie crust recipes from my baking file.
1 cup ground almond meal (processed almonds)
3/4 cup light brown or cane sugar
1 medium organic free-range egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
A dash of spice - cinnamon or nutmeg
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease and GF-flour a 9-inch glass pie plate; or use a greased and GF-floured tart pan.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground almonds, sugar, egg, extract, salt & spice. Spread the almond mixture into the pie plate and press lightly (with moist fingertips) to form a crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, check to see the shape of it, and using a silicone or vinyl spatula, lightly press down any high puffy areas; resume baking for another 2 to 5 minutes, until the crust is firm. Place on a wire rack and again press down the shape to flatten, if needed.
Cool before filling. The crust will get crisper as it cools.
For one 9-inch tart pan:
1 cup almond meal (processed almonds - pecans also work well)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons chilled butter or vegan margarine
1 1/2 tablespoons of cream or non-dairy cream
In a food processor, blend all ingredients until dough clumps together. Chill 15 minutes. Roll out the dough on wax paper dusted with either cornstarch or tapioca flour. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan and press in lightly. Chill again till firm, and fill. Bake as directed in your pie recipe; keeping an eye on the edges of the crust. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with strips of foil. Also make sure your oven rack is in the center of the oven, and not close to the top.
To pre-bake for a no-bake filling, I would prick the crust, then bake it at 325 or 350º F for 10 to 15 minutes until firm. Cool before filling.
I've used this crust for pumpkin pie and cheesecake.
2 cups (heaping) almond or hazelnut meal
1/2 cup butter/vegan stick margarine, melted
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
Dash of pie spice or cinnamon, if desired
Combine all of the ingredients to form a sticky dough. With moist fingertips, press the dough into a greased 9x12-inch baking pan or 2 8-inch glass pie plates. Bake the crust at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling.
I've done the same with pecans; I've processed them into meal - pecans make a wonderful nut crust. Some cooks add a little rice flour. I like to add a little coconut flour to the mix. Experiment.
