6 Unit Play. NBA Total of the Month. Take Under 207.5 between Golden State @ San Antonio Spurs
We hit a big play in cbb yesterday and hopefully that translates into a big play win for us in the nba today. It's been a while since I released a big play in the NBA as I'm not the type of person to release many big plays, but I feel like my research has yielded a potential golden nugget, why not step out? It's a long betting season and our standard wager is 4* and today it is a 6*. It just depends on what presents itself for us to step out or not and today I believe we have a nice spot to do so. The Spurs host the Warriors today and the Spurs come off back to back losses to both Houston and Boston by 2 and 3 points respectively. This team is obviously a bit peeved and the way they show their frustration is through defense. The Spurs have quietly gone under in their last 5 games and 7 of their last 10. They just held the Rockets to 85 points (Under 177) and the Celtics to 77 points (Under 183). Prior to that they held the Timberwolves to under (189.5), Phoenix to 98 points (game totaled at 201) and Charlotte to 78 points (game totaled at 178). Now, they face a Golden State team that is very competent and capable. But, this team struggles against strong defenses on the road. Remember, GS only put up 88 at Chicago, 91 at Detroit and 89 at New Orleans. The Warriors have solid depth but they will be without Biedrins, Crawford and Belinelli is questionable. The last time these two teams met the Spurs won in overtime and that game totaled 215 in overtime and totaled and 190 in regulation. So, for the fact that game totaled 190 in regulation in Golden State, and the fact that this total is set at 207.5 when the Spurs come off back to back home losses is significant. I expect the Spurs to likely give up no more than 90 points to the Warriors today while the put up points in the low 100's likely. I have this game at 193 or so which is a double-digit differential to where the total stands now. The under is 6-0 when the Warriors play a team with a winning home record of more than 60% - meaning when the Warriors play good teams on the road, they hold serve with sound defense against this team. The Under is 5-0 for the Spurs following a straight up loss and the Under is 6-0 for the Spurs when they face a team with winning % less than 40% meaning the Spurs take their anger out well with sound defense off a loss and against weaker teams they play even better defense. Plus, this is a sound public fade which adds a bit of an icing on the cake for us as well. We have quite a bit of factors working for us and it is a long week, but I believe we have a strong shot at a cover for the under here.
4 Unit Play. Take Florida -10.5 over Penn State
I'm glad we were able to cash with our 5* selection yesterday on the over between Richmond vs. Charleston. Although, I wish we could have cashed on the secondary play with Belmont who covered the entire game and fell short in the end. We still made some money on Monday and it's a long week. As per today, as you know I follow the Big10 and the SEC closely - both for basketball and football. This is an awful lot of points for a Big 10 team in Penn State and the public seems to agree to a tune of 65%. What you have is what folks will talk about today as a Big10 clash vs. the SEC. Penn State had it fairly easy early in defeating George Mason and Rhode Island at home (both good teams - but both who they faced at home) - as they defeated a top 90 team and a top 75 team. Now, they face a top 30 team in Florida on the road. Remember Penn State lost to Ohio State by 14, Purdue by 14, Michigan by 20 and Minnesota by 20. Florida has played 5 straight unders and Penn State has played 5 of 6 overs. This goes to show that Penn State's offense has been sound at home but on the road they stagger on offense. Plus, their defense is not as sound right now while Florida's defense is solid currently and they are playing great basketball at home. Heck, Florida just beat a solid Miami team at home by 14 who is ranked in the top 40. This team also beat a Jacksonville team at home by 22. Why can't this team beat a Penn State team who is at best as good as Miami and cover the -10.5? Nick C. is considering the NBA draft as a Gator and I would expect him to have a big game today and this puts Billy D on the national spotlight again as one of the two games that is highlighted in the nation today. I expect Florida to take advantage of this situation and be able to produce plenty of fireworks on offense today. Remember, Florida puts up on average 77.5 points per game and they just dropped 74 on a Miami team that plays great defense. If Miami was only able to score 60 on Florida's defense, than Penn State is really going to struggle. Remember, once again, this team put up just 51 points at Michigan, 44 at Wisconsin, 47 at Purdue, 59 at Ohio State and 59 at Minnesota. I have this game around a 76-62 type of ball game as the Gators barely hit the cover, but do so while the majority of the public takes it up the chin a bit here. Remember, it is always a decent bet to fade a public underdog. The Nittany Lions are 1-5 ATS as road underdogs of late and Florida is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games.
Good luck,

15* 'Garden Party' Showdown-NIT
My 15* play is on Auburn at 7:00 ET. Scott Drew took over a Baylor program decimated by the abuses of former head coach Dave Bliss. However, in his fifth season at Waco (last year), he led the Bears to 21-wins, as the Bears qualified for the "Big Dance" for the first time since 1988. Much was expected from Baylor this year and the Bears were 12-1 through the end of December, with their only loss coming to Wake Forest (Demon Deacons would open 16-0). However, things fell apart quickly, as the team would go just 5-11 in the Big 12, losing 10 of its final 12 regular season games. The Bears then surprised everyone with a great run in the Big 12 tourney. Beating Nebraska came as no surprise but the Bears then knocked of Kansas and Texas (ending a 24-game losing streak to the Longhorns), before falling to Missouri in the title game. The Bears have FIVE double-digit scorers, guards Jerrells (16.11-4.7-4.8), Dunn (15.4-4.7), Carter (10.6-2.5-3.2) and Dugat (10.0-3.3-2.3) plus the 6-9 Rogers (12.5-7.5). Acy (5.6-3.8) is a 6-7 freshman who has helped some inside but neither big man, the 7-0 Lomers (3.3-1.7) nor the 7-1 Diene (1.7-1.6), is capable of much. Baylor escaped in the NIT's first round with a two-point win over Georgetown but then won impressively 84-66 at Va Tech on Saturday. Six players scored double digits in that game, as the Bears shot 61.7 percent from the floor, including 10-of-21 on threes. Points will not come as easily tonight at Auburn. Jeff Lebo struggled in his first four years with the Tigers, as Auburn was able to go just 57-64. However, things came together this year, although as everyone knows, the SEC did not have a "banner year" in the 2008-09 season. That being said, after going 14-16 (4-12 in the SEC) last year, the Tigers went 10-6 in league play and after a win over Florida and then a loss to Tennessee in the SEC tourney, were 22-11 with an RPI of 63. It wasn't good enough for an at-large bid and the Tigers find themselves in the NIT. However, Lebo's team cannot be too disappointed. The Tigers, like the Bears, are a perimeter-based team, as FOUR of the team's six players who get 24 minutes or more of playing time are guards. Reed (13.2-2.6-3.8) and Waller (12.2) are the top scorers on the perimeter, joined by Barrett (9.7-3.4) and Robertson (6.0-3.9-3.1). Sullivan (7.5) is also a backcourt contributor, logging almost 20 minutes per game (19.2). The frontcourt features the 6-7 Barber (12.9-9.5) and the 6-6 Hargrove (8.1-5.0). While Baylor's Big 12 tourney run and easy win at Va Tech give one pause, the fact is the Bears were just 3-8 SU on the road this year and even with the team's recent splurge, are a sad 11-17 ATS. Meanwhile, the Tigers are 21-7 ATS, which is the best pointspread mark in the nation. Auburn went 18-3 SU at home, going 11-3 ATS and winning all seven non-lined home games. Auburn's a solid defensive club (65.1 PPG / 40.5 percent on opponents' FGs) and has the perimeter depth to match up with the Bears. Let's note that the Tigers enter this game on an 11-2 SU and ATS run. Auburn routed Tulsa 74-55, despite the team's best player (Barber) being limited to just 13 minutes due to foul trouble (that doesn't figure to happen again). Expect the Tigers to win here and head off to a "Garden Party" in New York next Tuesday. 15* Auburn.

Frank Fowler (Nick Stahl) is a handsome and amiable young man who has recently graduated from high school and is spending the summer working as a lobster fisherman before heading off to college in the fall. Frank is also involved with Natalie (Marisa Tomei), an attractive woman ten years his senior who is separated from her husband Richard (William Mapother), though their divorce has not yet been finalized. Frank's parents, Matt (Tom Wilkinson) and Ruth (Sissy Spacek) wonder if it's wise for their son to be pursuing a romance that he won't be able to continue in a few months; Matt trusts Frank and leaves him to make his own decisions, while Ruth quietly but firmly registers her objections. One day, Richard snaps, and breaks into Natalie's home; when he discovers Frank is there, he viciously kills him. The wheels of justice turn in an unexpected direction, and Richard is released on bail, free to go his own way as he awaits his trial. Matt and Ruth are both deeply traumatized by the event; while Matt tries to deal with his hurt by retreating into his work and avoiding his feelings, Ruth instead becomes increasingly withdrawn, losing interest in her job as a music teacher and spending her nights chain smoking in front of the television. In the Bedroom was adapted from the short story Killings by Andre Dubus. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Consensus: Expertly crafted and performed, In the Bedroom is a quietly wrenching portrayal of grief.
Goes the distance to avoid banalizing the dilemma of a reasonable couple unhinged by unreasonable events.Full review…
It's tempting to compare this film to Ordinary People, since both deal with the reaction of upper-middle class family to the accidental death of their son, though new movie is more immediate, emotional and ambiguous.Full review…
...one of those rare films that so vividly paints a picture of a community, that afterwards you feel as though you've been there...Full review…
So emotionally pure and rigorous that you're more than willing to go along with it.
The real story is in how the marriage is strengthened or harmed by the way each spouse responds to what's happening.
Few things are more sorrowful than a couple in a house of mourning with nothing but a wall of silence between them.Full review…
Much of the film's unsettling nature is comprised of sheer silence which is often the most dangerous element...Full review…
As top-drawer as the acting is, I simply can't buy the laboriously plotted revenge ending, which seems to have crawled out of Perry Mason's attic.Full review…
...A whole greater than the sum of its parts.Full review…

This was a wonderful place to stay. Peaceful, but plenty within walking distance. The Hop-On bus stop was a 2-minute walk, if your stay needs some touristy action. The staff was incredible helpful with suggestions, and honest about what was and was not safe. We really enjoyed our stay, and would go back!

|[rssfeedme cat="lansner" feedpath="/category/eyeball-13/feed/" max="25"]
Rand Sperry is co-founder and CEO of Sperry Van Ness, a commercial real estate franchisor headquartered in Irvine.
He's our third guest for "Eyeball 2013!"
This series is our holiday gift to you: Lansner on Real Estate's seventh annual collection of outlooks on local real estate conditions!
Us: What will be two or three key managerial skills needed for the 2013 real estate market?
Rand: The best managers surround themselves with the best talent and team available. 2013 will provide continued opportunity for new investment and it is important to have the right team in place to take advantage of the opportunities at hand.
Investment managers will have to be willing to take some risks this year as the outlook is still somewhat cloudy. But that risk can be mitigated by having the right team in place to help find and make sound real estate investment decisions.
Competition will continue to increase for quality real estate investment opportunities. It is also important to cultivate and maintain key relationships with your business partners, clients, associates and investors, as the truly good investment opportunities do not sit on the market long. Having these strong relationships will mean the difference between being in the game or watching from the sidelines.
Review previous years: Eyeball '12 | '11 | '10 | '09 | '08 | '07
Us: So the neighbor/relative/pal asks, "Is it a good time to buy or invest?" with a long-run horizon. And you tell them …
Rand: For the foreseeable future, this is a fantastic time to buy real estate. The appetite from the lending community to push out capital continues to grow. This coupled with historically low interest rates means that investors can buy real estate with positive leverage.
In the last 35 years, I have never seen rates near the sub-4% level we are seeing today. I believe we are at or near the bottom and don't believe there is much more downside. We may have even pushed off the bottom. The availability of positive leverage, low interest rates, rental rates on commercial properties at five year lows and improving market fundamentals lends itself to a unique investment environment. For all these reasons, now is the time to invest in real estate.
Us: What less-than-obvious benchmarks indicators will you be watching in 2013 to sense what's next for real estate?
Rand: I look to single-family housing as a bell weather for the general economy. Here in Orange County, single-family supply has shrunk considerably, which has led to an increase in demand. This points to increased competition and positive growth for the local economy.
Single-family housing has an important psychological impact on the rest of the economy. When it points to positive growth, we will see the same for the rest of the economy.>

Before it was a religion, a culture, or even a system of meditation, what was Buddhism? On Buddhism Without Beliefs, celebrated teacher, translator, and former Buddhist monk Stephen Batchelor takes us back to the first years after the Buddha's awakening to reveal the root insights of Buddhism hidden beneath centuries of history and interpretation.
In eight compelling sessions of self-inquiry - including many fascinating exercises and practices - we learn how to awaken and refine our senses, introduce the essential spirit of curiosity into the practice of awareness, and comprehend with both our hearts and our minds the Buddha's astonishing (and often misunderstood) revelations on emptiness, compassion, and the self. Before he died, the Buddha did not appoint a successor. He simply remarked that each of us must be responsible for our own freedom.
Buddhism without Beliefs is an invitation to hear what the Buddha taught - and to trust yourself on your own path to liberation.
©1997 Stephen Batchelor (P)2013 Sounds True
I love reading for pleasure and obtaining new insights. Audible is perfect for me /visual issues. Thanks listeners for helpful reviews!
"What you wondered about but were afraid to ask ..."
Stephen Batchelors guide is truly educational. I found his breakdown of Buddhism to be so simple and inspiring. I was concerned that Buddhism would be a complicated thing to understand. Immediately my mind was put to rest as Stephen speaks with authority and expertise. Buddhism as a belief system (it is not a religion for those who may not know) is all that I hoped it would be. I've listened through twice and plan on sharing it with other interested parties. So if you too may be wondering what this thing called Buddhism is all about but are afraid it's too complex, I highly recommend Buddhism Without Beliefs.
Linguist, translator, addicted to Audible.
I am not a buddhist, even though I'm interested in buddhist "themes": impermanence, emptiness, mindfulness, loving kindness, death and dying, etc. I've read a number of authors of many different traditions (Zen, Tibetan Buddhism, etc.), and Stephen Batchelor was the only one I felt wasn't speaking in riddles or trying to convey a sense of mystery that I never felt was necessary. And here I don't mean, for instance, Zen koans or Zen stories - I mean the convoluted and pasteurized speech of some Western buddhist teachers.
As an atheist, this is as close as I'll ever get to a real experience of spirituality. Wonderful book.
Commuter....moving from boring radio to feeding the brain.
"a good place to start in this genre"
I feel the author did a good job touching on a lot of core pieces of the Buddhist philosophy, evolution and modern day application.
Steven Lurie, Ph.D.
"Gets to the heart of why Buddhist teaching matter"
Cuts through it all and helps reader make sense of teachings and practice just about better than anything I have read so far.
"The most boring book ever!!!"
If I could I would give it zero stars!! Think of sitting at church with a long, long boring sermon that says absolutely nothing at all. The voice is so dull and soft and I made myself listen to two chapters and it was so painful!!!
"Confused this is different to the book"
I am enjoying this and it is well presented by Stephen. It is an excellent proposition of Buddhist ideas without the religion that has overtaken much of modern Buddhism. However I also have the book and this seems to have little connection to that except for the ideas presented. As it has the same title I expected it to be an audio reading of the book.
"Very clear and inspiring. Will listen again"
I like that he breaks down some of the main Buddhist ideas in a modern way. He also has a soothing voice.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Real Risk of Bosses Pulling the Plug on U.K. Retailer GAME
Posted on March 5, 2012 AT 07:07am
THE BUZZ: Insiders have claimed that GAME bosses may pull the plug on the U.K. retailer after recent events.
Directors are considering closing down in order to avoid any more significant losses after GAME failed to secure stock for Mario Party 9, and more importantly Mass Effect 3.
A source "close to the situation" told The Express: "There is a real risk that GAME's directors will pull the plug because they can't be sure that the company can survive through the next trading season, and then insolvency becomes inevitable."
"They are in discussions with their legal advisers about whether to shut up shop rather than rack up more losses," the source added.
EGM's TAKE: GAME is in dire straights at the moment. Missing out on Mass Effect 3 has dealt a major blow to the company as a whole. If it misses out on another major release that could easily prove to the straw that broke the camel's back, and force the directors' hands.

Spicy Puri with hint of Spinach
|Wheat flour
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|To Taste
|Chili powder
|1 Teaspoon
|Turmeric powder
|1 Teaspoon
|Cumin seeds
|1 Teaspoon (Ajwain)
|Spinach leaves
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs), finely cut
|2 Cup (32 tbs) (For Frying)
Mix salt, turmeric powder and chilli powder into the flour.
Slightly crush jeera / ajwain and add to the flour with finely cut spinach leaves.
Add 2 tea spoons of oil. This helps puris to puff up well.
Make dough as you make for regular rotis/ chapati.
Let it rest for a while, at least an hour.
You can also make this on the day before. In that case you will have to refrigerate it.
Heat some oil in a kadhai. If oil is not hot enough your puris won't puff up.
Now instead of making small puris, which take more time, make a big roti as usual. Take a small round cutter (lid of any stainless steel / plastic container will do) and cut as many rounds as you can from this roti.
It's easy, this way you can make 5-6 puris in a go. Now fry one puri at a time is hot oil. That's it.
Enjoy these with pickle and/or potato bhaaji.

Dell Reaches Settlement With States
On Monday, Dell Inc. announced that it has agreed to a legal settlement with states claiming the company misled customers.
The company will pay a total of $3.85 million to 46 states in the settlement.
As a result, Dell saw its stocks drop 4.2 percent, closing at $10.65
Attorney generals from Washington and Connecticut first approached Dell with complaints in mid 2008.
According to Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, the "epidemic-like wave of complaints" over Dell practices forced him to contact other attorney generals across the nation.
Blumenthal stated that buyers were offered zero-percent financing, but were eventually trapped under fees and high interest rates. Some consumers never received rebates, and found it difficult to receive warranties on their purchases.
New York is the only state to sue Dell thus far. In the case filed May 2007, the New York Supreme Court ruled against Dell.
According to Alex Detrick, spokesman for the New York attorney general's office, Dell and the state of New York are still in dispute over reimbursements.
Dell's settlement on Monday helped the company escape the possibility of a larger lawsuit.
The settlement requires Dell to give consumers more information about their financing terms, and to let consumers cancel orders after reviewing their credit terms.
The company is also required to mail rebate payments, and complete warranty commitments quickly.
The settlement requires the company to inform customers that they must troubleshoot problems by phone before receiving in-person technical support.
Dell must also have won a customer service award within the past 18 months to use the term "award-winning."
The company released a statement saying the state issues "represented only a very small percentage of the tens of millions of Dell consumer transactions in the states."
The company added that they had addressed these issues directly with customers.
The settlement covered Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
A person who purchased a product or service from Dell after April 1, 2005 and had issues with rebates, service, or financing has 90 days to file a claim with their state attorney general.

Cousins Properties: Leaders in Sustainable Building
Content provided by Georgia-Pacific - Green Workplace
For 50 years, Cousins Properties has been in the corporate real estate business. During that time, the company has developed 20 million square feet of office space, 20 million square feet of retail space, more than 3,500 multi-family units and more than 60 single-family neighborhoods across the Sun Belt.
Cousins has built and maintained an industry-wide reputation for premium management services, top quality leadership and innovative and sustainable developments.
President and CEO Larry Gellerstedt recognizes that tenants want to do business with building owners and landlords who reflect their own practices and values, especially when it comes to sustainability.
Cousins Properties' history of sustainability stretches back to the 1970s, when the company embraced the philosophy of responsible land stewardship. John McColl, executive vice president of development at Cousins says, "We're very proud of the impact we think we had back in a time when sustainability wasn't really talked about."
The tradition of environmental stewardship continues today. "Our goal is to find the little things that we can do to make a difference," explains Gellerstedt.
One of those "little" things has had big returns. Recently, Cousins switched to using Georgia-Pacific's enMotion Automated Touchless Dispensers in the restrooms of its office buildings.
"We would hopefully save money and also bring a more health-conscience product to the market for our customers," says McColl of the reasoning behind the switch. "What we didn't actually know is that we'd end up saving nearly 30-35 percent in waste in paper products because of the use of this machine."
Georgia-Pacific is proud to have a partner in Cousins. This video showcasing Cousins Properties and a few of their customers reveals how the smallest of changes can have a ripple effect that is good for the environment, people and business. We call this sustainable!

Delicious! I made this recipe twice. I use small non-stick skillet instead of grill and fold each tortilla in half for easy flipping. The last time I tried this recipe, I made a quesadillas party with my friends. I provided the filling ahead of time using chicken, steak, mushroom and various cheeses (such as spicy monterey jack and colby). I cut each tortillas into half so each guests can fold the filling into quarter wedges. I served them with chipotle salsa and lime sourcream. Definitely a keeper!
Delicious recipe. We ate it for dinner, very filling. Even my boyfriend who is not keen on mushrooms loved this recipe.
I made this for a party and ended up making more because it was so tasty! You need to be careful when flipping this on the frill, it can be a little messy.
Very easy to make and a real winner for unexpected guests!
What a treat and very easy. Add a salad and you have a great quick meal. Both corn and flour tortillas are fine to use. A little guacamole is a nice touch on the side.
Very flavorful recipe - great for a main meal! This is a keeper!! The BBQ makes the tortillas flake like filo pastry - gives a nice texture. Instead of using two tortillas - I used only one and folded them over. Only problem with the cooking was flipping them over without the mixture falling out.
These were a big hit!! I used Italian parsley instead of that dreaded Cilantro. That took away some of flavor so I used hot pepper Monterey Jack. Um..um..good!
This is one of my favorite new recipes! Very easy to prepare and very tasty! I had marinated and grilled the chicken for added flavor. I used ancho chile powder instead of regular chile powder. Flour tortillas work well, too. This was a real treat!
I made these with only white mushrooms, since thats all I had on hand. This was really easy to make and my husband, who hates mexican food of any kind, liked these a lot. It was a great change of pace and quick to make at the last minute.
Excellent appetizer or light meal main course. Easy to prepare. I served it as an appetizer on the holiday weekend and then my husband and I had it dinner the following week. Everyone loved it.

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to make it faster?
3. When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business sense?
4. What are the ten most important steps I can take to make sure my rich internet app is secure? What tools are available to help me diagnose whether it's secure?
5. For all the press that they get, are mashups really contributing to the experience of the web?
Douglas Crockford, creator of JSON
I just have one question I'd like answered: How are we to fix the web? AJAX exploits all of the remaining capability of the 1999 browser standards, which were not state of the art even then. Where do we go from here? Will open standards fall to technologically superior proprietary systems?
Coach Wei, founder and CTO of Nexaweb
1. What are people mostly using AJAX for? Enhancing existing website, building a new website, building an application, replacing an old client/server application, etc?
3. Are you using mashup or do you plan to do some mashup, for which kind of project?
4. Which tools (IDE) do people using for AJAX development?
5. Do you still develop web 1.0 style applications, and why?
See next page for predictions from: Google's Christian Schalk, JackBe's John Crupi, Josh Gertzen of the ThinWire AJAX Framework, Kevin Hakman of TIBCO GI, and Andre Charland of Nitobi.
JOIN IN THE DISCUSSION: What would your questions be: please add them here.

|Kurt Cagle 12/26/07 02:43:45 AM EST
There's a growing impedance mismatch between the large scale providers of content and the consumers of that content as we build multiple messaging architectures. How realistically do we resolve this mismatch in such a way that we are able to preserve both flexibility (SOAP), simplicity (Atom) and brevity (JSON), and can we do so without sparking a religious war?
|Crolly Darvo 12/18/07 05:06:41 AM EST
Will the browsers development, unification and standardization give us more possibilities and freedom to sophisticate or simplify our interfaces & APIs?
|Brett Green 12/13/07 01:24:02 PM EST
Do you believe a shift back towards rich desktop apps, which are internet-enabled, will lead away from the need for AJAX-enabled web applications?
|Gabriel Kent 12/12/07 10:57:40 AM EST
If you imagine the a URI is a handle to a given resource -- is the AJAX community pushing to retain the isomorphic relationship between the URI and a given state of a web application as it changes through AJAX interaction?
|Micha? S?aby 12/12/07 04:55:16 AM EST
Are off-line applications for web the right direction? Is Google Gears relevant when more and more devices has 24/7 Internet access?
|Marcio 12/11/07 04:20:08 PM EST
Other questions like: [1] ambiguity in AJAX toolkits, can I match them? how an aspect in Toolkit A can influence toolkit B? The namespaced Web apps becomes now important. It's the same that happened in Browser space, they were different, then become a bit shared, the AJAX toolkits work also may reach a convergence state as we have offline/online caching infra-structure with namespaced events - sandboxed apps in the same page but running each in a given scope.
I think the next stage promises good things for us and the current stage is a mess with good value under it. The exploration of the mashup stack and mashup infra for interoperability is an area to massage.
|WishList 12/09/07 02:22:28 AM EST
If only AJAX could somehow bring us a spam-free internet, now THAT would be a rich future!
|AJAX vs CF 11/15/07 08:28:09 AM EST
While Ajax represents the future, it looks like in Georgia they still have developers working in ColdFusion from Adobe - how come? Here's the link: http://www.dot.state.ga.us/
Development managers need to ask themselves at least these two questions before adopting AJAX on a project. First, will you make up for the time invested in adopting a new technology through increased development speed? And second, will AJAX allow you to offer a more useful application to your users?
|Ahmed ALEM 11/07/07 06:32:56 AM EST
The answer is definitely: Java + XML + XSLT + a new ML, instead of: JavaScript + XML + HTML. But is there any project which take into account all these ideas? Are there any band of developers who are interested in re-inventing a better wheel?
|Answer 11/07/07 06:31:07 AM EST
The next stage of AJAX is Comet.
|mAX kIESELR 11/06/07 10:48:05 AM EST
It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.

On renewing my wife's blue badge today I found that our local council now charges £20 for this. It was free before. Is this just a local thing to us (Falkirk Council) or is it the same nationwide now?

It was suggested that there is no reason why disabled people cannot pay for there parking but could the same not be said for people over a certain age getting free prescriptions, free bus travel or heating allowance The Blue badge system is abused by a small majority of people but too many people it is the difference between being able to go to the shops or an event or not and many people would swap there disability and free parking to live a normal life

Southampton Council charges £2.00 for new/re-newal of badges. I agree with hssutton on his point, ouside my mates he has a 4 spaces disabled bay and one woman always parks taking up 2 spaces, also taxi drivers in Southampton seem to think they are just extra spaces for them to park/pick up/drop off on and nothing is ever done about them.

I know the blue badge can be used in Germany and probably other European countries too. But I suppose all countries have different rules about times etc. However I think the rules in Germany are the same wherever you go in the country. I've never parked in other countries on the way there, as I only normally stop in service centres. The rules could do with standardising in the U.K.

The Blue Badge is an EU badge (it used to be orange when it was UK only) and can be used throughout the EU, subject to regional variations.
I wouldn't like to have to abide by English rules.
I understand that parking is time limited to 3 hours.
By the time I have put the sill protectors in place, lined up the ramps, unchained the scooter, got it out and moved it via the nearest pavement drop (anything up to two hundred yards or more) to the passenger door, folded and stowed the ramps, removed the sill protector, fitted the backrest to the scooter, lifted my wife onto the seat and settled her a good bit of that period, usually 20 - 30 minutes, has already elapsed.
You then have to dash around getting your shopping done in a rush because reversing the process takes even longer, maybe 45 minutes.
Might not seem a short time to many of us, but for those of us who are not male an hour to do a day's shopping is a gross breach of human rights!

"I understand that parking is time limited to 3 hours".
Usually referred to as 'Waiting' in legal terms, and not 'Parking'.
All depends on the regulations and lines plus nearby signs. Can vary to unloading/loading only, no waiting, times on signs or local enforcement and roadworks (no waiting cone, diversions etc?).
Best to check before leaving the vehicle and doing the tasks ahead.
Another point well worth considering is that any blue badge is not an entitlement, its basically a privilege for use. Some disabled people having and using a 'blue badge' might at times forget this!.

I thought "waiting" and "Parking" were two different terms legally.
Blue badge parking is permitted in any area, and at any time, where "Loading/Unloading" is permitted, except where such loading/unloading takes place in a specifically dedicated area, subject always, of course, to not causing an obstruction.

The American education system seems to be in perpetual crisis. Despite nearly 15 years of education reform – and the introduction of an array of tests, curriculum, and new measures of student learning – students are not any better prepared to succeed in college or the workforce.
And the bad news just keeps coming.

Thoughts on Canada West
Here are some thoughts on the Conference through the first third or so of the season.
-Talented but quiet offensively. Nonetheless made the most of a home ice advantage sweeping Alberta. Food for thought... the Huskies have won the last 4 games that matter against the Golden Bears. The Huskies got the results, but do they have the process? The Huskies have a better record than I thought they would have right now, but haven't impressed as much as I thought they could.
-The Golden Bears have unbelieviable numbers so far this season. They have outshot their opposition by at least 10+ shots in every game and are +36 in GF/GA. This suggests they are actually better than their 9-3 record indicates.The Bears third line is now scoring and they have depth in case of injury. My prediction is Alberta will be first place in the Conference after the 2nd week in January, when Saskatchewan comes calling.
-I saw both games in Edmonton played between Alberta and Manitoba. The Bears dominated them. I do think the Bisons will at least split with Alberta in December, because they are a "home show". I don't think Manitoba is as good as they were last season.
-They are well coached but lack depth at forward and struggle to transition the puck out of their own zone.
-Best team they have had on paper in years. Can they keep up a pretty good start?
-Can a team full of JR' A players run with the big boys? I think water will seek it's level shortly!
Mount Royal
-Stole a game against the Bears earlier this season. We're out-classed in a return series. A big physical team that lacks scoring and needs saves.
-Greg Gatto is at the place that Dave Adolph, Doug Irwin and Bill Peters have been at before...coming to the realization that is almost impossible to win consistently in Lethbridge.

My wife and I have driven past Heber Valley Artisan Cheese more times than I can count. But we've always been in a hurry and have never taken time to stop.
This afternoon, though, we did.
I've always liked cheese. Except, of course, for Velveeta. (But even Velveeta has its uses. As a base for queso dip, for example, or as bait on a hook.)
And my mission in Switzerland did absolutely nothing to dampen my enthusiasm. I actually lived for a couple of months in Burgdorf, the largest city in the Emmen Valley or Emmental, where Emmentaler cheese — which most Americans think of as, simply, "Swiss cheese" — got its name. One of my semi-serious secular goals for my mission was to try every kind of cheese produced in Switzerland. Until I learned that there are at least 450 varieties of Swiss cheese ("Swiss cheese" being only one of them). At that point, I gave up.
But back to Heber Valley. We sampled several cheeses and three rhubarb-based jams. And we bought.
Good stuff. I just had some kakao cheddar on crackers. Wonderful.
In keeping with my policy of pushing good local restaurants and local food (among other things), I recommend a visit if you're ever in town. Incidentally, the town of Midway, where Heber Valley Artisan Cheese is located, was settled by immigrant Swiss converts to Mormonism.

Two weeks after setting in motion a sequence of events that led to the resignation of Shashi Tharoor from government, Lalit Modi found himself in the trenches facing hostile fire on two fronts — from official investigators probing allegations of financial impropriety and fellow cricket administrators keen to oust him from his job as Indian Premier League Commissioner.
Investigations widened
On Thursday, Income Tax and Enforcement Directorate officials in Mumbai questioned Mr. Modi for several hours on his five-star hotel office-cum-residential premises. Elsewhere across India, the ambit of investigations into the IPL was expanded to cover franchisees, sponsors, broadcasters, event managers and all other companies associated with the T-20 extravaganza.
Mr. Modi, who has questioned the right of the Board of Control for Cricket in India to convene the IPL governing council without his consent, was also reportedly considering whether to seek a legal injunction against the meeting now set for April 26.
In the first government statement on the matter since the IT department-led fishing expedition began two days ago, Sports Minister M.S. Gill told the Rajya Sabha that the IPL's affairs were being looked into carefully and in great detail.
On his part, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said everyone would come to know when the process was complete. "I cannot comment on investigations by the Income Tax department.''
Among the companies where taxmen came calling were the Sahara Group in Lucknow, which recently won the IPL Pune franchise, and the infrastructure and power firm, GMR, which owns Delhi Daredevils.
I-T officials also concluded their search of the Kolkata Knight Riders office in Kolkata, claiming they had uncovered "documents'' relating to IPL dealings. The papers pertaining to the MoU between KKR and the Cricket Association of Bengal were reportedly missing. In Mumbai, the office of Red Chillies Entertainment, owned by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was also searched.
"Our effort is to track any illegal money and uncover the murky financial dealings done in IPL under the garb of promoting cricket," a senior tax official told The Hindu.
"We are not aiming to kill the enterprise of IPL but are definitely concerned about the involvement of slush money and the tax evasion angle,'' he said.
CSK owners cleared
Chennai Special Correspondent reports:
The owners of Chennai Super Kings, India Cements Ltd., have been cleared by I-T officials after the completion of a survey in connection with the IPL.
On Wednesday, about 20 I-T officials carried out document-based investigation on the premises of India Cements. Director-General of Income-Tax (Investigation) P.K. Sarangi told The Hindu: "They have shown us all the documents. We have not found any suspicious transactions. We do not have any adverse information about their transactions. We have completed our survey.

It seems strange to me that the information in that same "product note" was not quoted in full. The impression given by quoting one small part of the information out of context is unlike the text in full. Why was this done?
The full product note is found in the Ilford Titan pinhole camera kit, regarding the content of the kit. Here is the full text:
We have encountered technical problems coating the HARMAN DIRECT POSITIVE RC paper. The result of this is that we cannot release the product to end users and as a consequence the product is now out of stock. At this point, whilst our R&D team work on the problem, we are unable to advise when the product will become available.
Initially, in the ILFORD Pinhole Photography Kit we have substituted the RC product with 10 sheets of HARMAN DIRECT POSITIVE FB paper, which is in stock with no supply issues.
As a gesture of goodwill we have now also included free of charge an additional 10 sheets 4 x 5 inch ILFORD MULTIGRADE IV RC, which can be used to make a paper negative.
We sincerely apologise for this enforced change to our publicised intention, and are sure you will agree that by adding the MULTIGRADE paper the kit has been enhanced.

When I read this post, it says "ATi staffer" to me. All pretense of being an enthusiast cast aside, time to get down to business.
Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but:
1. ATi does indeed sell GPUs every year, but that wasn't my point. My point is that since the 8800 series launched, ATi parts were inferior until the 4800 series launched. Since that day, I have read 8,023,562 posts about why NVDIA is doomed from people like you. You parrot Charlie's FUD, you make up your own, and in general post anything you can to try and damage NVIDIA's business. And like I said and illustrated with actual links to report of ATi's actual position in the market, all this marketing noise doesn't really reflect what is happening in the market.
2. ATi can't really count itself in the company of Matrox and NVIDIA, although they could be lumped in with S3. ATi sold controlling interest in their company long ago, because they couldn't cut it. Try typing "www.ati.com" into your browser's address line these days and see where it takes you. If you are an ATi staffer, I hope you guys have more to hang your hat on than NV1 days. Truth be told, if ATi wouldn't have bought ArtX's tech and got the R300 in the bargain, they probably would have joined 3DFX, S3, and Rendition long ago.

Last week I was telling you how people are always asking me about the biggest surf I ever saw and all that kinda stuff.
So last week I wrote about the biggest summer swell I ever saw here in California and promised this week to write about the biggest winter swell I ever saw here in California.
In some future week I will write about the biggest surf I ever saw anywhere. But for now I am sticking local.
For the biggest winter swell I regress to a day in late January, I think it was the 27th in 1997. I walked out on the Huntington Beach Pier at about 7:30 in the morning with a hot cup of Java Point coffee in my hand. Java Point is the coffee counter in Huntington Surf & Sport.
The surf was huge and it was cold and I was in a procrastinating kinda mood. Like not all that motivated to paddle out into the enormous closed-out beach break at the pier with a zillion-mile-an-hour north-to-south current running.
As I was standing there savoring my coffee and watching these huge walls of water breaking near the end of the pier, my pal, Zach Lindborg, came walking out.
We greeted each other and watched a few monster walls of water come crashing through the pier and started discussing where would be the good place to go on a day like this.
After a few minutes we both decided to go south, and seeing as how we were both into the same journey we decided to jump into my van and head out together.
Our destination was actually a spot called "Swami's" in Encinitas. That spot could hold a swell this big. Either that or La Jolla Cove.
But when we reached the south end of San Clemente we saw that a spot called "Church" was fantastic. The swell was from the north, the perfect direction for that spot.
To my amazement, it was holding the size and was better than I had ever seen it in my life. Really big and really good. Also really cold.
We paddled out, along with about 40 other people, and got some solid-sized waves.
How big?
The biggest sets were maybe three to four times the size of people. For California this was a really big day. And the shape was perfect along with the offshore winds.
In all, the epic day for this spot.

A man just looking to drink a couple Bud Lights reached in the case for a beer but found a snake instead.
I've said it in the past, I'll say it again: I'm an ophidiophobe and a huge p*ssy when it comes to anything regarding snakes.
Confession: I'm a huge p*ssy when it comes to snakes.
This afternoon the Cleveland Browns quarterback and good ole boy from Texas Tweeted the badass trophy that he found under his truck.

This afternoon some good news has hit the Twittersphere about the status of Derek Stepan, recipient of a dirty knee-on-knee hit from Brooks Orpik last night. Per Andrew Gross, Stepan attended the Rangers team photo shoot this morning. Although Stepan didn't skate at practice, his attendance at the team picture is at least a good sign. It means he can walk on that leg.
The other good news is that Ryan McDonagh, who rode to practice with Stepan (per Steve Zipay), said that Stepan was sore, but didn't think it was serious.
More good news: there have been no call ups from the AHL yet. It would be a surprise if Stepan played tomorrow against the Caps though. Expect John Scott to see some time tomorrow while Stepan rests up. The President's Trophy is nice, but not at the expense of the health of key members of the team.
Obviously the NHL had to rain on the good news parade today. There won't be a hearing for Orpik concerning that hit. Thought the league wanted that kind of play out of the game?

Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Khan haven't worked together since 2009 (Kambakkht Ishq). Now the industry sources reveal that Prabhudheva is trying to get this duo back on screen for his next film Singh Is Bling.
The actress has been approached to play the leading lady. A source says, "Kareena has been approached to play the main lead. It's a remake of a south film. For the first time Prabhudheva has written a script which has a meaty role for the heroine. Usually in his films, the actresses have little to do but this one is different. He is keen to have Kareena play the part because it needs a performer and not just a glamazon. Prabhudheva feels that Kareena is one of the finest actresses we have today. Besides she and Akshay have always shared a great chemistry on screen."
While Prabhudheva doesn't deny that Kareena has been approached, he says, "It's the producers call. They will announce who is the actress in due course."
Producer Ashvini Yardi says, "It's too early to talk about it. We are yet to finalise the lead actress. We will make an announcement later this month."
Kareena Kapoor Khan remained unavailable for comment.
