He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people." 26Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf, 27And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?" 28(When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge. 29But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman!" 30They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge." 31(Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?" 32They said, "We have been sent to a people (deep) in sin;- 33"To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone), 34"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds." 35Then We evacuated those of the Believers who were there, 36But We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house: 37And We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty. 38And in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest. 39But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!" 40So We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame. 41And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind: 42It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness. 43And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!" 44But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on. 45Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves. 46So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed. 47With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace. 48And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out! 49And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction. 50Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open! 51And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open! 52Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"! 53Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds! 54So turn away from them: not thine is the blame. 55But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers. 56I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me. 57No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me. 58For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever). 59For the Wrong-doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)! 60Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!

The Vargo Triad titanium stove is a very lightweight, durable stove. It sells for around $30 which depending on how much you'll use it plays a factor as well. This stove is a neat, little compact stove I came across while looking into alcohol stoves. The stove is lightweight, being made of titanium, yet very durable. It weighs a mere ounce and you hardly know it's in your pack or even your pocket! The stove includes 6 retractable legs (3 on top 3 on bottom.) They recommend that the bottom three… Full review

Titanium Ti-lite Mug (900 ml)
Ti mug/cook pot with lid. Lid has plastic knob lifter and vent/pour holes. Vargo's Ti-lite 900ml mug and lid (119g + 27g = 146g) is large enough to boil over two cups of water and stow much of your kit when not in use. Diameter is sufficient to store a small fuel canister. The lid has a plastic knob lifter instead of the metal lifters I've seen on other designs. The plastic knob helps prevent burns vs. the metal lifters. The lid also features vent/pour holes with a single hole on one side… Full review

This stove works as advertised. It'll heat enough water for your meal and a hot drink. But there are issues. I've used this stove perhaps 40 times in the past year or so. And while it's not a bad stove, it's not a great one either. My biggest issue is filling and refilling the stove. The fuel "capsule" cap is removed from the stand and taken apart. Filled to approximately 1oz and the cap replaced. Every freaking time. Other alcohol stoves that have an open top are much easier to cook longer because… Full review

Is a 15 rMBP overkill?
I currently own an early 2011 13" MBP with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD + 320GB HDD setup. It's running fine of course but there are certain things that I would like, such as a retina display and maybe a discrete graphics card to venture into some gaming through Steam.
The size and weight is pretty good too; I have no problems walking to uni whenever I do need my MacBook however this is rare as my maths degree doesn't exactly require a lot of essay writing (yet?)
My current needs are mostly media consumption, browsing, document writing, some photo editing via Lightroom and that's pretty much it.
Now my question is, is a 15" rMBP overkill for my needs? Bearing in mind that I probably won't move around with it that much so portability isn't much of an issue. However, would a 13" rMBP + external display be better?
Would like some opinions, thank you.
|Mar 22, 2013, 08:12 AM
If you going to be using external monitor, why not get the 15" classic pro with the discrete graphic card if you plan to game a lot. Retina is definitely going to waste.
13" rMBP + external display be better?
Not for gaming because the 13" models doesn't come with a discrete graphic card. IT CAN run games but its not optimal.
|Mar 22, 2013, 01:18 PM
I think the 15" MBPro is just fine for your usage. I was thinking since it has a bigger casing, there is more room for air and heat to circulate better. Though I could be wrong. And the bigger screen is beneficial for your Lightroom image editing

If you plan on gaming, the 15" is better than 13" for sure. I play League of Legends on my MBA and while I can get 30+fps while using an external monitor of 1920x1200 resolution, I'm not sure how it will hold up with other more graphic intensive games. The same will hold true for the 13" MBPr since it has the same graphics card.

15" non retina is a best buy
I have a 15" non retina, and I love it. You'll save almost $1000, especially if you do 2 upgrades yourself (which you can't upgrade the Retina yourself).
I love Apple, but DON'T buy extra Ram from Apple, unless you do buy the Retina. You can add 16GB of ram for about $80 today, and look at the Momentus XT 750GB drive. Runs about $120, and is a hybrid Flash and 7200 rpm 750GB drive, which is nearly as fast as an SSD, and has huge storage capacity for a laptop drive.
Plus, the non-retina will give you a DVD drive, perfect for copying YOUR movies for own the go play, plus watching, and also doesn't need a $29 adapter for ethernet. And it's under 1"thick, so it's still a great size.

Oklahoma state Rep. David Derby, a Republican, was reportedly planning to introduce a bill in the House Public Health Committee today that would give the state pharmacy board authority to regulate pharmacy benefit managers. PBMs refute claims behind the move, saying they save consumers and public programs millions of dollars while protecting patient safety, and that members of state pharmacy boards have a conflict of interest.

Ahmed has a tough life, that is, until he finds a golden egg.
How do you feel when you see a travelling circus? Excited and intrigued? But think again, for you would never want to be a part of Madam Saleem's travelling circus. At least Ahmed did not want to.
A cruel owner, she made the boy slog for long hours making him carry water, firewood, sweep the caravans and feed the animals.
One day while collecting fire wood, Ahmed spots a golden egg. Scared that it would become cold he takes it back to the camp. But when Madam Saleem sees it she snatches it away and keeps it locked. Soon the egg hatches and a pretty girl comes out of it. She is named Aurelia.
Aurelia is no ordinary girl. Not only does she sing like a dream but she also grew feathers. But being caged makes her very sad.
Ahmed takes good care of Aurelia and he knows that he is her only friend. So he decides to free her. Getting the key to the golden cage is almost impossible but he succeeds.
He manages to free Aurelia but gets caught while trying to sneak the key back and is punished for it.
A beautifully scripted magical fairytale that keeps you wondering about Ahmed's fate till the very end. Simple words, easy flowing narrative and beautiful illustrations make it an easy read.

Sludge had been a problem in some engines in the early to mid 2000s, but it is not widespread.
Hybrid batteries have been very reliable, have a 100,000 mile warranty--and very few have been replaced even after that period. Those few that have failed prematurely have been replaced at no cost to the consumer. What more do you want?

It will shift into neutral at any speed, like any other car out there. You need to hold the shift paddle in the neutral position for a few seconds, no longer than it takes to maneuver a mechanical column shifter into the neutral notch. The delay is a feature, not a bug...it keeps you from inadvertently shifting, just like the need to pull the lever on a column shifter toward you in order to shift it.
And furthermore, shifting into neutral at highway speed will NOT destroy the engine. If it could, then the standard manual transmission could not exist.

I called 3 local bike shops and none of them had them.
I may have to wind up making them whether I want to or not.
Now I'm trying to figure out what type of business would have the aluminum tubing.

Have the bike shops look through their QBP catalogs for "Problem Solvers" if they can't figure it out themselves. Then look for the shim size that converts 7/8" to 1". I'm told this is a BMX item. I'm not surprised they'll have to order them. My LBS wss the same--not it stock. Only took a few days to get them. But they were smart enough to let me browse QBP and find the right ones.
If you're LBS won't help you, screw 'em. The shims aren't that hard to make. Most inmates have done it themselves . . . . I was just lazy, and wanted the soft ribbed aluminum.

Getting some new tires (BT-45s) and braided front brake lines put on this weekend. Look forward to seeing how different the bike feels. I had been running Lazertecs. I'm hoping the front-end feels a little more planted, though after riding my Harley most of the spring it felt pretty 'sporty'. A lot quieter too, but still with plenty of character.
The Harley is on CL. Though not much interest so far.

Installation of Kawasaki Euro/Low Bar Kit
So I decided to go the opposite of the cheap and easy way and bought the Kawasaki Euro/low bar kit from Z-Power in the UK, though the way the Euro is going lately you may want to buy it from the W650 Shop in Germany.
The kit comes with the Euro low bars, two new mirrors with longer stalks (because the bars are narrower), shorter throttle cables, a shorter clutch cable, a shorter front brake hose, two new clamps for the clutch cable and the four washers you need to replace the front brake hose. All the parts are Kawasaki genuine OEM parts - the part list with part numbers is on the Z-Power website above.
Today I set about installing it and while it took quite a bit longer than I thought it would, I'll put the conclusion here: It transforms the bike! The low bars make such a huge difference -- they are definitely the bars that the bike should have had from the factory. The feeling of control is much improved and you don't feel like a huge sail (as much) on the highway. It puts your body in the right position for carving up twisty roads and puts more weight on the front wheel. Good thing I'm getting new tires done next week as now I feel like I could get myself in trouble on this bike with the old stock tires.
Anyway, the following is a pictorial how-to for those who might want to install this kit themselves:
OK so the first step is to remove the gas tank. Undo the vacuum and fuel hoses (make sure the petcock is on ON or RES to avoid a gas shower), then undo the two 10mm bolts that hold the tank in place and remove it to the rear and up.
Set it somewhere soft. Don't drop it!
Next up is to start cleaning off the bars. First, remove the mirrors by undoing the 17mm nuts at the base and then unthreading the mirrors from their perches. Set them aside.
Now you can begin to remove the switch housings. Each switch housing has two Philips screws that screw in from the bottom. Remove those, then you can split the switch housings and remove them from the bars. Don't pull them apart too forcefully as you don't want to damage the wiring inside.
Also at this point you can remove the clutch perch and brake perch from the bars. There are two Allen screws on each, just remove them and set the removed halves aside with the bolts. You can let the levers hang off out of the way without disconnecting anything else.
Next up you need to disconnect the throttle cables. Once you've split the right side switch housing, you should disconnect the cables from the carbs. There is a clip which secures the cable ends to the carbs; disconnect that first.
Once the clip is disconnected, pull the cable ends clear of their retainers on the carbs and then you will have the freeplay necessary to disengage them from the carbs. Make a note as to which cable goes to which spot on the carbs and which spot on the throttle housing at the lever.
Once you get the ends clear at the carbs you have enough play to disengage them from the throttle grip. Pull them out (noting their routing) and then remove the throttle grip from the handlebar by sliding it off the end.
The left grip is simply glued onto the handlebar. Use a screwdriver to pry it up a bit and spray some WD40 down in between the grip and handlebar. This will help to dissolve the glue and lubricate the grip allowing you to twist it off.
Now the bars should be clear and you should undo the 4 10mm bolts that hold the bars onto the bike:
Once you get the bolts and clamps off, lift the bars off and set them aside.
Here's a comparison of the stock bars to the Euro bars in terms of width and pullback:
And here's a comparison in terms of rise:
Fit the new bars to the clamps, making sure to center them so that the splines are covered by the clamps. There is a punch mark on the bars that is supposed to align with the lower split line of the left clamp when installed:
When installing the clamps, note that they are not symmetrical. The end with the larger gap should face down. Tighten the top bolts on the clamps first, then the bottom bolts. They should be tightened to 18 ft-lbs.
Now you might as well deal with the throttle cables because this is the biggest pain in the ass in the kit. The issue is this: the throttle cables have 90-degree bends where they thread into the housing at the lever. On the original cables, one of these 90-degree bends has less rise than the other before the bend. On the new ones, they are both the same. This makes it impossible to thread both of them into the throttle housing due to the angle of the threads. So I wound up using one of the new cables and the old cable with the shorter rise. It was just not possible to use both of the new cables.
EDIT: At a later date, I had to remove the carbs for some reason and I wound up attempting again to install the other short throttle cable. For whatever reason, I was able to get both cables installed this time. So it is possible. But it's like a puzzle, you need to take some time of fucking around with it to figure it out.
I found the way to do it was to get both of the 90-degree-bend pieces threaded into the throttle housing, then route the cables through to the carbs, get the cables hooked up to the carbs, then get the cables hooked up to the twist grip. Make sure the cable freeplay is maxed out so you have enough room to get the cables mounted all around. Once you get the cables mounted to the carbs and twistgrip, attach the clip at the carb end to secure the cables, then screw the throttle switch group back together (make sure to engage the projection on the switch housing to the hole in the bar) and adjust the throttle cable freeplay to 2-3mm.
Get the 90-degree-bend bits pointing where you want, then tighten the 14mm locknuts. The freeplay is adjusted by loosening the 10mm locknut and turning the 8mm adjuster. Clockwise makes the cable shorter, anticlockwise makes the cable longer. The top cable is the throttle opening cable. The bottom cable is the throttle closing cable.
You can now also re-mount the brake master cylinder to the bar even though the existing hose will now be ridiculously long. You'll be changing it before long. There is a punch mark on the bars that is to be aligned with the split line of the brake master cylinder clamp. Make sure you orient the clamp properly, so the marking that says "up" is facing up. The torque spec for those Allen bolts is 78 in.-lbs. Tighten the top one first, then the bottom one.
Now go over to the left side and attach the switch housing, again making sure to align the projection in the housing to the hole in the handlebars. Tighten up the 2 Philips screws.
Also go ahead and re-install the left grip. Spray a little WD40 inside it, then work it onto the bar until it touches the switch housing.
Now it's time to replace the clutch cable. Go to the left side and remove the sprocket cover.
First you need to remove the footpeg by removing the 14mm bolt and then pulling off the footpeg. The service manual tells you to remove the shift lever but it's not necessary. Instead, remove only the 10mm bolt from the shift lever and then you will be able to remove all the Allen bolts that secure the sprocket cover. Remove them and you can angle the sprocket cover out around the shifter. Keep track of which bolt goes where as some of them are different sizes!
Once you have the sprocket cover off you'll see this:
First go topside to the lever end and undo the 10mm nut for the clutch lever pivot (accessed from underneath the lever). Then push out the pivot pin and set both aside.
Now max out the clutch freeplay by pulling back the rubber cover over the freeplay adjuster and loosening the locknut, then screwing in the adjuster nut as far as possible.
Pull the clutch lever out to disengage it from its housing, then rotate it 90 degrees to disengage it from the cable end. Set the lever aside. Line up the slots on the freeplay adjuster and locknut and remove them from the cable. Pull the rubber cover off the end of the cable and keep all those items to transfer to the new cable.
Now go down to the clutch end and loosen the locknut all the way. You should now have enough freeplay to disengage that end of the cable from the actuator at the clutch end:
Once you disengage that, slide the cable forward so that it clears its bracket and you can slip the cable out of the bracket. At that point the only thing holding the cable in is the two clamps that clip the cable to the frame downtubes in front of the engine. Remove those and remove the old cable.
Putting in the new cable is basically the exact reverse of that process. Take the time to clean up the clutch pivot pin and lube it with some nice grease, I use Mobil 1 synthetic grease. Once you get it back together you can bolt the clutch perch back onto the bars. Then put the sprocket cover, shifter bolt and footpeg back on. Then adjust the clutch freeplay at the lever for 2-3mm.
Almost there!
Next step, brakes. Get yourself a catch pan and undo the 14mm bolt that secures the brake hose to the caliper. Pull it out and let the fluid drain.
Undo the 2 Philips screws on top of the fluid reservoir and remove the reservoir cap, the plastic bit and the rubber bit from inside. Let the fluid drain out until the reservoir is completely empty.
Once it's drained, undo the hose connection from the master cylinder, also 14mm. Promptly clean up any brake fluid that spills on any painted surface as brake fluid eats paint.
Now remove the 8mm bolt that holds the brake line onto the fork and then remove the brake line from the clip and rubber buffer:
Also, under the headlight there is a bracket held in place by 2 10mm bolts which helps to secure the brake hose. It'll be easier if you loosen this up (don't have to completely remove it)
Install the new hose routing it the same way as the old one. Use the new washers in the kit for the brake line banjo bolts on the master cylinder and caliper ends. Torque them to 25 ft-lbs. Insert the new hose into the bracket and the spring clip and tighten them back up.
Now you have to bleed the brake. You should know how to do this already. The bleeder screw is 10mm. Just take your time, it took me quite a lot of time to bleed it completely, probably since air was introduced to the master cylinder after removing the hose. But I needed a change of brake fluid anyway. Just keep bleeding until the lever feel returns to normal and until you don't get any more bubbles from the caliper or from that port in the bottom center of the brake reservoir. When you're satisfied that you've got all the air out, put the rubber and plastic bits back in, then put the cap back on.
Go back over everything and make sure you're done, then put the tank back on and take her for a test ride.
The end result:
EDIT: I didn't realize at the time that the Kawasaki wire clamps that secure the control wiring to the bars are not reusable. So after the fact I ordered some replacements which it turns out are still available from Kawasaki. The original bars use two clamps on each side but the new bars, owing to their narrower width, only use one on each side. So if doing this job, head over to your local Kawi dealer and order 2 of p/n 92037-1163 which is the small clamp for securing the wiring to the bars and order one of p/n 92037-1903 which is a somewhat larger clamp of the same design which secures the throttle cables and wiring to a hole in the frame on the left side under the gas tank. You'll have to cut the old one off to replace the throttle cables. Doesn't hurt to order a couple extra of each just to have around for future use.

valuable information
What a great write-up! Thanks for all the pictures as well.
Now I'm also thrilled to do the conversion, however, I don't want to spend all the money buying the complete kit.
Are there any other option/ sources for the parts in the US?
Also, I heard that the conversion might work just by re-routing some of the cables to the other side of the lamp.
Any experience with this?

I only got the euro-spec low bars and re-routed the cables. Seems to work just fine. Except for the mirrors, but I am going to put bar-ends (w/ weights), so that should take care of that. Also putting new (shorter) braided brake lines meant I just had to re-route the throttle cables.
Right now I just lift my elbow motocross style to see what is behind me. I probably look like a butterfly flapping my wings sometimes.
And the dollar is gaining on the pound also, so ...

Clutch cable was easier. It now runs behind the headlamp. Electrical cables are no problem, of course.
I spent no money on the conversion other than inexpensive bike-master handlebars and long-stemmed mirrors.

+1 on the super detailed write-up and great photos.
I've got the Bike Master Euro bars sitting there, waiting for me to make or buy some adapters. Have a set of bar end mirrors sitting around, probably go with those.
This should give me the push I need to get off my ass and get started already.

I rode my first W650 Saturday! It was great!
I met an older guy at a local car show. I was on my Bandit 1250 but he didn't know it. We were standing around his bike, and he must have been happy I knew what it was. He said, "most people think it's an old BSA."
We were just talkin' and having a good time, and he said to take it for a spin. I just went around the nearby roads and a few parking lots for a few minutes. What a great bike! It was a year 2000 with 50,000 miles and crusty tires. The guy was really, really old school! (bomber jacket, no helmet, cigarette hangin' out his mouth when he rode away!) Cool character...

[quote=steh-fan]How much longer are these stems actually?
I'd have to measure them; I'm stuck at work for the time being. I'd guess the stems are about 8" long. I kept buying cheap mirrors until I found a pair that didn't distort, and I could see past my elbows. Very unscientific.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took their adorable little girl Suri over to Brooke Shield's daughter, Grier Henchy's, first birthday party this weekend.
Sources say that Brooke originally wanted her daughter and Suri to have a joint birthday party because they were born in the same hospital on the same day, but we all know that wouldn't fly with Tom.
We hear that guests at the birthday were treated to expensive gifts from Petit Tresor as well as some charity donations. Isn't it funny how a one-years birthday becomes a charity event? Only in Hollywood!

Huge Object Removed from Seaside Park Beach [VIDEO]
It's the first weekend of summer 2013 and leftovers from Sandy are still being pulled from the water. A packed beach watched on as a very large object was taken out of the ocean this afternoon.
It's the first weekend of summer 2013 and leftovers from Sandy are still being pulled from the water. A packed beach watched on as a very large object was taken out of the ocean this afternoon.
The nation comes together tomorrow to help the Garden State. Tomorrow is National Dine Out Day and this year's event will benefit the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief fund.
Great food all over the state from some of our area's best restaurants and proceeds go to help so many of our friends, family members and neighbors who are still battling the after-effects of Sandy
For the past month, I have been able to tell about all the ways Lowe's has been there to help us rebuild after Sandy, and this past Saturday, I was able to visit the Lowe's on Hooper Ave. in Toms River to meet the great staff there.
Mantoloking was one of the hardest hit areas when Sandy slammed the Jersey Shore. Plans for restoration are in the works and nearly ready to begin, but five residents are holding up progress for the entire town.
We went through so much with Sandy, and before you knew it, hurricane season arrived again. We all tried to remind ourselves of what a rare storm it was, but does this week of weather have you a little extra worried?
While many of the old Jersey landmarks have come and gone, there is still one along a busy stretch of Route 9 in Southern Ocean County.
Normally by now, county and municipal budgets are set. But Superstorm Sandy knocked the pins out of that plan, as many sit, anxiously awaiting the much-needed federal relief money.
The academic year is nearing an end and many school districts in New Jersey are making the necessary final adjustments to their calendars to fulfill the state-required minimum of 180 days of instructional time, a task that has been made more complicated thanks to Superstorm Sandy.
Not only was I hired for a Jersey Shore's Toughest Job by Nicholas Pools, but I was RE-hired. This was a special one, as I "helped" Nicholas Pools help someone who's pool was devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
It's the sentence no one on the Jersey Shore wants to hear. Hurricane season is upon us. Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden joined us on the morning show to discuss hurricane preparedness.
I talked to several boaters who finally got their boats out this weekend and while the goal was fun and relaxation, the trips also brought a sobering sense of post-Sandy reality.

DUBAI: Building on its warm historical ties, Libya has declared its intention to forge a closer economic relationship with India.
The visiting Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Murli Deora called on the Libyan President, Muammar Gaddafi on Thursday night. Mr. Deora handed over a letter from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Col. Gaddafi.
The Libyan leader stressed the need for further strengthening the relationship between Libya and India, and proposed frequent exchanges between the two countries at the "highest level."
Mr. Deora highlighted the growing business ties between the two countries, especially in the fields of oil and gas, information technology and construction.
He appraised the Libyan leader about the six oil blocks in Libya for which the Indian oil companies had obtained an "exploration licence." He also spoke about India's intent to revamp oil refineries in Libya in partnership with Libyan enterprises. The Minister sought Col. Gaddafi's support so that the "tremendous opportunities" for cooperation could be availed.

Deron Williams out indefinitely with rib fracture (Pg. 3)
Posted May 16, 2014 - 02:17 PM
Posted May 16, 2014 - 03:29 PM
While he is frustrated with his own performance, his lingering ankle issues and the team's second round playoff exit, Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams has not requested a trade, contrary to earlier rumors.
The report that Williams could ask out surprised Nets officials, according to The Brooklyn Game.
From their report:
Earlier reports have suggested that the Nets may kick the tires on trying to move Williams, affording them additional flexibility in the coming years, though the market is expected to be tepid. Williams is set to earn $19.8 million next season with two more years on his deal beyond that, and he averaged just 14.3 points and 6.1 assists in 64 games this year, no longer seeming his franchise player self.
A high-level Brooklyn Nets official told The Brooklyn Game that a report that Deron Williams wanted out of Brooklyn "came out of left field" and that Williams has not requested a trade, butacknowledged that Williams has struggled with the burden of expectation since joining the Nets.
"He's frustrated," the source told The Brooklyn Game. "He's not happy with himself. He's not up to his standards in the three years since we got him."

Why would Phil resign and miss out on that paycheck?
Posted May 17, 2014 - 01:56 AM
I doubt it too, I'm just mocking the Knicks tradition of acquiring these types of players.
But with Phil in charge (seemingly) I don't really see that happening.
May not be Phil making that decision though
Phil resigns immediately if that were to happen.
Now that I think of it, Dolan could easily conduct business in his normal bone-headed manner and simply use Phil Jackson as his scape goat when the media asks what went wrong. I see that as an honest possibility.

Deron should lose some weight and take some off those ankles and try to lean up a bit more.

I believe he's never had surgery on them, just continuous cortisone shots and whatnot. In some way, and hopefully not for us but this is might be a rare instance when surgery might increase his trade value.

And at least d will does it at about the soonest possible moment as opposed to waiting and missing training camp etc like some pampered primadonnas have been known to do...looking at you Shaq etc.
Praying for 1. Kobe's Health (Nope, another season ending injury), 2. High Draft Pick (Randle...season ending injury game #1.*sigh*) 3. Miracle Trade (Not yet, but Black looks nice), 4. Quality Free Agent (Boozer, kind of, Davis, nice upside!), 5. Brilliant Coaching Hire (Byron coaching to tank and injure)

Kareena Kapoor Khan did Fevicol Se (Dabangg 2), Katrina Kaif had Chikni Chameli (Agneepath) and Priyanka Chopra has Babli Badmaash Hai (Shootout At Wadala) and Ram Chahe Leela (Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela) to her credit.
When asked to name the hottest of them all, the Main Tera Hero girl placed the Exotic babe right on top of the list of hottest dancers in Bollywood. Nargis, who rated herself a 9/10 on dancing in Koffee With Karan said, "I really can't pick one. But If I had to, then it would be Priyanka. She is the hottest item girl of Bollywood."
Wonder if PC will return the compliment after seeing Nargis' song in Kick.

Special Correspondent
Bangalore: G.T. Deve Gowda, MLA and chairman of the Karnataka State Cooperative Federation, has said the Government will launch a membership drive with a view to strengthening the cooperative movement.
Speaking to presspersons here on Tuesday, Mr. Deve Gowda, who was Minister for Cooperation in the Kumaraswamy government, said as of now 2.5 crore people had enrolled themselves in cooperative institutions.
He said the date of the launch of the drive had not been decided.
He said the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had instructed commercial banks to convince at least one person in every family to open a bank account, both in rural and urban areas.
The same programme would be implemented by cooperative banks also, the former Minister said.
On involving house building cooperative societies (HBCSs) in providing cheap houses to the poor and needy, he said it required an amendment to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act and the Karnataka State Cooperative Act to enable them to seek acquisition of land.

Nice video, excellent serve. You have some nice ground strokes as well. It looks like you make the same mistakes I make, so maybe you will find this useful.
First, I think your poor net play was just taking your eye off the ball a little too soon. Second mistake is when you hit a hard groundstroke and just watch it instead of preparing for a weak return, I do this sometimes thinking I hit a clean winner. I forget that not everyone is as slow as me.
The third mistake (I hope someone else reading can chime in) is watching the ball instead of the opponents racquet. You seem to be caught off guard quite a bit when your opponent was chipping it back instead of hitting topspin, which led to you being out of position. I think if you were more in tune to his racquet you would have anticipated better the type of shot he was going to play and would have easily put away some of those slices and lobs.

Guest Mix: 30XX
Like city lights, receding…
You're weightlessly gliding over glossy clouded sapphire glass floors, the virtual plaza's pixelated imitation-halogen LED walls humming neon nothings as you pass. An action movie montage of dolphins, mullets, jet skis, and bikinis streams continuously to and from a miniscule fractal nucleus you find yourself gravitating toward in a horde of pop-up window shoppers.
Suddenly, a 92-dicked daikaiju demon appears, fucking everything to exploded smithereens.
You awaken in a filmy ball pit of huge eyes popped from shallow sockets, your manhood taken, but your vision left mercilessly in tact. With it, you catch one last glimpse of the fiery giant, his embers flickering out, "like city lights, receding," and in that instance you realize that never was the plaza as beautiful as it is now, burning to the ground.
The orchestrator of its destruction speaks:
This mix pretty much represents my fascination with cyberpunk/anime, goregrind, '80s synth/wave worship, and J-pop, all mashed up in an atrociously odd abomination. Some of these artists have directly influenced the grind aspects of 30XX like Bile, Gigantic Brain, and HYPEREMESIS (who was the drummer on the recent 30XX BC Canada tour). Others fit the theme of goregrind transitioning to synth-pop/dreamwave/cyberpunk electronica which I often flirt with in 30XX. Couldn't help but add some Kyary all up in this too.
Stream below, and subscribe to our podcast here.
[00:00] Abducted By Sharks - "3AM"
[04:20] Bile - "Bled Dry"
[07:23] GAF - "Forced Birth Slaughter"
[09:05] Albatrosicks - "ストロベリーラブジェネレイタ (REDALice Remix/GOREMAN X Hyper GLITCH MIX)"
[11:57] FM Attack - "Invisible"
[17:53] Gigantic Brain - "Crop Circles"
[21:18] Pyemisis - "CHEMICALS"
[22:13] Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - "Cherry Bonbon"
30XX just came down from a hyper-productive month in which he not only finished said tour, but minced three new releases: Dead Future, BC Tour Tape, and Pulsating Future. Earlier this week, he presented a preview of more gore to come, with the "XX14 Sampler." お楽しみください!
New Bums
"Black Bough"
I'm generally pretty fascinated by almost everything Ben Chasny does. The dude has proved that he can tastefully shred in a number of different contexts, but I've always had a soft spot for the restrained pop ballads that have gradually become more and more prevalent on his Six Organs of Admittance work. However, Chasny's not about to let Six Organs become a straight up pop band, but the gradual incorporation of more song based material has given the world New Bums, his excellent pop minded duo with Donovan Quinn of the Skygreen Leopards.
After releasing an equally interesting 7-inch earlier this year, the duo have released a beautiful full length of plaintive songs that elegantly distills both songwriters' pop sensibilities into a singular whole. There's a sense of fragility and space to the songs of Voices In A Rented Room and both of those things are readily apparent in the mournful pop minimalism of "Black Bough." The track shows how Chasny and Quinn's voices bleed into a single entity and resultantly sounds like a haunting modernized Big Star outtake.
Voices In A Rented Room is out now via Drag City. You can listen to "Black Bough" below:

"1001 Decisions"
"1001 Decisions" might not even comprise one day in a given lifetime. Yet, with the visuals/photos here in Woo's newest video, listeners and viewers can witness nearly "1001 Decisions" between the Ives duo's lives together. Having gathered a remarkable story throughout a bunch of "still-life" pictures, Woo really brings their track a visual birth of life that is merely just a window into the performers' journey on Earth.
Shoot, my pal Landon really pinned me to Woo a few weeks ago when he forwarded me the delightful track "It's Cozy Inside" on a Tuesday, and that really made my weekday brighten. Pretty much all Woo's tracks sound like a time of being when things were warm. As if they're physically emitting a wave of energy. Adapting an aura of memory and pleasantness to your school/office desk, yet taking you away to pure comfort paradise. "1001 Decisions" is from Woo's first record in a quarter of a century called When The Past Arrives. Analog release versions available March 17 on Drag City and Yoga Records. So feel the fuzzy below and grip that physical Woo on the 17 this month:

Virtual Flannel
"Afternoon Boom"
Like a heart-shaped Elvis face brightly flashing in the sweat of a dozen spotlights: it's the in-between that's most important, no? Having it been too cold or wet outside. Curving around two p.m. Caressing that "Afternoon Boom." It's a brand new box of tissues today. Today, nothing really happens, so embrace the feeling of solipsism. Of being all around us covered in Virtual Flannel. A spastic weaving and waving of mircowires embedded at the root of architecture. All architecture. Beat pulp-less. Beyond smitherines. But float, yo. FriFri continues to get ripe with that good-good. No partying. Pool hall tonight. First round is on the Hello Kitty looker that sits behind you.
It's chill, yeah, but Virtual Flannel is everything but practical. As the illusion stabilizes itself in your foreground, so much is happening –in-between– "Afternoon Boom." But from what I've heard, this is just a sip of what Virtual Flannel has in store for us this year. That Canadian bird be hoardin' beats like they canned food in the apocalypse. So tease on this ""Afternoon Boom" in the mean time below:

Bob Bucko Jr.
"Up On The Sun"
Like a river rising to white water tides during the rainy season, or drying to its sandy base, the depth of Bob Bucko Jr.'s (BBJr.) musical style is vast. The first time I saw him play, he was blasting dying animal noises through a saxophone as part of a pick-up band performing John Zorn's COBRA composition; the last time being a mess of white noise as his gear distorted and decayed in the middle of his set. He's a hard guy to follow. Bucko's own tape label, Personal Archives, is in itself a reference to a kind of categorizing system for tracking his constant musical output. And then there's "Up On The Sun", a Meat Puppets cover, leaving the original song remarkably intact, considering Bucko's tendency for doing things however the fuck he wants.
Listen to the track below, and catch BBJr. all around the Midwest on his March tour. Thanks to Ad Hoc for the heads up (on the sun) on this one.

That photo of the alluring, svelte male seemingly zipping himself up. The dewy and curiously erotic wet hands connecting at what might be a futuristic pregnancy test. If you've spent any amount of time browsing the bottomless chasm that is the internet, and specifically paying attention to those sections that elevate electronic music, then you've probably encountered these images. If you're more than the incredibly naive internet user archetype just described, (no shade to the off-the-grid), then you've got strong empirical value already attached to these images – pun intended, you've got feelings too. Behind these motifs is the wizard himself: Slava. The Brooklyn-via-Moscow producer has taken the inter-waves by storm, through a tightly conceptualized visual aesthetic that reigns via his distinctly preeminent musical capacity. His footwork-ghetto-house-genre-label-etc… revisions were particularly resplendent with earlier work, namely his debut LP Raw Solutions. Followers of Slava engage with a particular idiosyncrasy that seems to ooze effortlessly from all aspects of his movement. More than just house or dance reinvigorations, Slava's music broods and garbles from a refreshing source.
Again through the acclaimed Software Label, Slava is prepping for the release of a new EP, Comma Sutra. The artwork, by Analisa Teachworth has a translucent deep maroon dildo and a banana on it, continuing, perhaps more bluntly, with modernized themes of sexual ambiguity and exploration. Lead track, "Better", is a 5-minute deep house immersion. Staccato 4-part-harmony chords flange and shuffle over fulfilled, acidic and juicy bass grooves. Red hot, sexy leads and quick vocal chops flutter about. It's a familiar atmosphere, but it's refurbished and renovated. The walls are shiny and moist; the mood is fervent. For a second you might guess that your viewing a PS1 installation, but then Slava emerges from the other room of his home, offering you a clear drink.
Slava's Comma Sutra EP will be available March 25, via Software. Listen to the "Better" below:

Paris, France
My Rating
The tour on open-top at night was beautiful. We took this at the end of our trip, and loved reviewing all the beautiful sights we'd visited. We didn't like the "canned" commentary, after the wonderful tour guides we had on other tours, but is definitely worth the trip, at night
Paris, France
My Rating
Highlight of our trip to Paris! Our guide was so personal and attentive. The palace, itself, was way too crowded, but, walking the beautiful gardens was delightful. We loved the quality of the bikes, the market where we purchased our lunch, and the "tempo" of the tour. Getting to see the part where the farmhands lived was a favorite. Suggest that all guides make sure there is a scheduled bathroom break, mid-tour. We didn't get that advantage until about 5 hours into the tour. Hard on the ladies!
Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Rating
Interesting tour guide, and quite knowledgeable about Amsterdam, and other parts of Europe. Nice paced walk, and stop mid-way for a coffee. We got to see many areas we otherwise would not, and explained many architectural details through the beautiful city.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Rating
Our tour guide was an interesting guy, and quite knowledgable about the District. We probably wouldn't have ventured into this area of Amsterdam without this tour, and are leaving more enlightened about this style of living. Strong urge to take this tour to learn about something unique to Amsterdam.

text: Aire Ancient Baths in NYC is a retreat inspired by the legacy of Greek, Roman and Ottoman baths and by water induced relaxation, it brings to life the history of our ancestors who turned the public baths into a feast for the senses.

About MeMy name is Matthew Anderson. I am an established photographer who works mostly in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia area, but will travel as needed.
I am based in Frederick Maryland. I also shoot in the Southern Maryland/Lexington Park area Monday through Thursday evenings.

Studio Shoots
Chaperons allowed or same sex chaperons
I shoot mostly on location. I do have access to several studios, but will need minimum 2 weeks notice. Studio fees will be added to the cost.
Shoots that are based on my concepts are mostly Trade For Digital Proofs or publication. Shoots that are based on client concepts will be paid by the client.
All my equipment is portable (lights, backdrops, costumes, props)
I bring a large amount of creative ideas, and am willing to work with you. I like my shoots to be open and relaxed. If you are new or returning to modeling, I provide a low stress, and cooperative environment.

Pre-planning is key to success. Respond to emails promptly and with the information requested.
My biggest pet peeve is not responding to emails. I don't expect instantaneous response, but after a week and no reply, especially when I ask for a yes or no response, is unprofessional.

I have model release form available for review upon request.

Youngstown likely will come on board in the next phase of funding, an official said.
YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown calls $400 billion in funding for passenger rail service for Ohio "probably the most important announcement" President Barack Obama has made.
And how much will the Mahoning Valley receive?
Nothing — at least for the next two to three years.
"Youngstown can certainly become part of the [next] plan, and we and the governor [Ted Strickland] are willing to work to make it happen," Ray LaHood, secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, told The Vindicator on Thursday. "Because someone was not included today doesn't mean they won't be included in the future."
The decision on where to locate the rail line was made by Ohio officials, he said.
It will take two to three years for the $400 million rail route that would link Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton to be running, Brown said.
While the Valley is not involved in this project, it will be a part of the next phase as a key connection between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, Brown said.
That next phase, costing $2.5 billion nationwide, will begin as soon as the rail projects announced Thursday are finished, LaHood said. Congress already approved funding for that second phase.
State Rep. Robert F. Hagan of Youngstown, chairman of the Ohio House Transportation Committee and a locomotive engineer, said he understands why the Valley won't be part of the initial passenger rail project, and has been assured by state officials that the area will be part of the second phase.
"This is the beginning," he said. "We're doing the major metro areas first. We have to show that those rail lines will be successful in the state's most-populated areas and then we can build on that."
Obama announced funding for $8 billion in 13 passenger rail projects nationwide Thursday.
Hagan, D-60th, added: "While I am disappointed that we were not able to be included in the first phase of passenger rail development, I remain confident that we will have an opportunity in the near future."
The way the crime is running rampart, this would be idea for the low life animals, do the murder and skip out of town on the high speed rail.
the connection that makes sense for the country is between Cleveland and Buffalo so that the East Coast is connected to the Midwest. The Cleveland-Pittsburgh connection only makes sense if and when Pittsburgh is connected to Philly through Harrisburg.
The rail would make the exodus quicker and more efficient.
Why does the Youngstown Warren area think it deserves a piece of every funding project? Are we really that naive to believe that this area is all that important? Do we really think that people WANT to come to the valley and for what? Youngstown is a shrinking city. So is Warren. We are becoming less relevant not more. The state made a wise choice in the first phase. Connect the largest cities. Youngstown isn't one of the them.
Mahoning Valley residents: keep voting only Democrat, it's working so well for us! - LOL.
Voting for Lyle Williams the Republican worked so well too! It has nothing to do with who we vote for.
If an area votes for only one party, be it Democrat or Republican, it has no leverage and will continue to be taken for granted by the politicians.
Sue, that is precisely the problem. The reality is the Youngstown area is completely taken for granted, and even though we keep receiving nothing from these people, we keep voting them in. So apparently they must think we are happy getting nothing, and that is certainly the message we keep sending.
If there was more of a swing to this area, people would be giving money hand over fist because they would KNOW our vote would depend on what they do for us as a region.
Most areas of the country vote one way! Which party we vote for has no impact. Lyle Williams and numerous Republican Youngstown mayors made no difference either. People who think always voting one way or the other makes a difference, it doesn't.
Lyle williams was last in office 25 YEARS AGO! Since then we have had pretty much only Democrat elected officials in this area. Congressman, state senators, state representatives, county commissioners, sheriffs, county auditors, county treasurers, and on and on. If you don't think that this area has gotten shafted because everyone knows that they can count on the Mahoning Valley for Democrat votes then you are naive.
Sometimes you need to be out for yourself Paul, because that is all Cleveland is interested in, all that Columbus is interested in (without any argument, Columbus is for Columbus and no one else), and Cincy is out for Cincy.
This high speed rail is no different, and just because Columbus wants the monopoly on everything good in Ohio does not make it right.
Columbus would be nothing without the industry of Youngstown, Warren, and Akron, and somewhere along the way they forgot that. Nothing would make me happier then to give them a reality check, because that city stole the wealth of the state.
The curb cut king (formerly Tugboat) says: What does?
Well, Tug, since Republicans control Boardman, how come Boardman isn't getting massive "bribes" from the Democrats to change that vote?
The valley has had congressmen of both parties including Traficant who became a Republican in his last few terms and we continue to decline.
Maybe finding some local leaders (both political and business) with the intellect to not need a constant handout from the taxpayers!
I can tell you this, a teacher who censors ratings on a website isn't the answer.
Numerous Republican Mayors!?!?!?! What are you talking about APOLLO? I am not going to let you spew nonfactual nonsense on this website.
Who are all these numerous Republican mayors from the Mahoning Valley you are speaking of?
Really? The valley has had Congressmen from both parties? Well, it has been 25 years since Republicans have held that seat. The statute of limitations on blaming Republicans was up 20 years ago.
Jack Hunter was Republican mayor of Youngstown at the very peak of the steel mill closures. Lyle Williams was Republican congressman during and after the same steel mill closure period. Boardman is heavily Republican. George McKelvey endorsed Bush. So did a Democrat Austintown trustee. Then there are the faux Democrats who only run as Democrats because it gives them a leg up. Cafaro used to be one of the largest donors to the Republican party. He supports McNally and other "Democrats". What letter the candidates have after their names is meaningless.
The only people who think it matters are those who run as Republicans and lose.
I think you are all missing the biggest issue. All "high speed" rail lines are government subsidized. None can make it on ridership alone.
Many high-speed train initiatives have been derailed due to their exorbitant cost — recent rail construction in Spain averaged some $22 million per mile. This according to A Brief History of:
High-Speed Rail in Time Magazine.
So for 8 billion you get 363 miles.
Have at it!
Only a railroad that went in one direction makes sense .... AWAY from Youngstown ... I don't know why anyone would want to come to this place.
hey foxtrot didn't your mother ever tell you "if you dont have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" Geez get a life

The UAW at Lordstown is recognized throughout the industry as the model for the future.Well you`re wrong there usa1 pro-conservaterican.Shocker.The Mafia? If the Mafia was still running the Valley does anyone think we would have the crime in Youngstown and Warren that we do? Back in the day,the scumbag that killed at St.Doms would have been whacked by nightfall.Turn off the Sopranos usa1 pro-conservaterican.Oh, so we are the only area with sports fanatics usa1 pro-conservaterican? That`s so asinine I`m not wasting space on it. And so Hunkies,Pollocks(i spelled it correctly) and Dagos are not real Americans in your feeble mind usa1 pro-conservaterican? What nationality are you? Unless you`re a Native American, which I know you`re not because you would hate yourself,then your people came from somewhere.I`m aware that reading your post makes it hard to believe you are from our planet but I know you are,so where did your ancestors come to America from? Please share with all the rest of us inferior people where the omnipotent usa1-pro-conservaterican hails from? Then we can all bow down to you.LOL..And by the way,you could always move to some safe teabagger haven if you hate the area so much.Isn`t that a standard line from you ultra-rightists,"Love it or Leave it".Well there you go.I solved your problem.LOL
As an All Aboard Ohio member, I can tell you this discussion about high speed rail in Ohio (and in Youngstown) has been going on since I was in high school (in the early 2000s). I'm glad to see the first phase of the plan go through, personally. It would be ideal to be able to commute from the center of Youngstown to other cities in the state and in this region of the country.
And Boardman may be our community's commercial strip, but when I want to see a concert or museum, go to a club or bar, consult a government agency, attend college, see a doctor, and peform pretty much every function of living other than buying clothes, I do it in Youngstown.
I also don't agree in this whole 'criminal migration' mentality about mass transportation. As a soon-to-be young professional, I don't want to be dependent upon a car to commute to everywhere I want to go. I want options, and so do people of all ages! If you bring a car with you on a trip, you have to be responsible for that car (and pay for parking) everywhere you want to go. It can be cumbersome and often just as, if not more, expensive than forms of mass transit.
Back before Amtrak closed its doors in Youngstown in 2005 attendance numbers were actually on the rise. People from the suburbs had begun utilizing the train station in Downtown Youngstown for weekend trips to other cities as far away as Chicago.
Furthermore, we are a large population base and metropolitan area and our economic conditions warrant national funding for public improvements, provided we can prove that we have good plans for spending that money (and we do have good plans). If we are to grow and thrive as a community in the 21st Century, we need to have the amenities necessary to compete with other cities in the global marketplace. I don't know about you, but -I- deserve access to those amenities and that includes effective and functional mass transportation systems.
Hi-Speed Rail? Don't believe it. This is false advertising by the government.
Hi-speed rail in America is NOT going to happen until we build dedicated rail lines strickly for the hi-speed trains. Our rail systems today CANNOT provide the hi-speed systems as in Europe and Japan. If you were to take this proposed (and so called) "hi-speed" train, it will be so slow you could arrive quicker by driving your car.
This proposed system will fail because the government will not put up the money to build the necessary rail lines. Once this proposed system is up and "running" our leaders will discover they have run out of money and ridership has not risen to estimates because the travel time is too long, with too many stops and delays. Then, look for tax increases to pay for upgrades.
Save your money Ohio, put it into JOBS for Ohioans.

That is not what makes for a relationship based on truth or trust.
You have every right as the head of your home to do "what you want" without telling your wife "what she wants to hear." She and your relationship would be so better served if you tell her the truth and let her deal with it.
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. Ps 120:7
Better to be divided by truth than united in error.
