How the Tres Tamed the NBA
Basketball's leviathans in the low post.
Fans thrilled at their combination of size, strength and agility. The battles they fought under the boards defined the NBA and made sport headlines for nearly 40 years.
But change is the constant in a consumer democracy.
The Chuck Taylor high-tops and short-shorts are long gone, replaced with hideous foot-wear and a plethora of prison-yard tattoos. Historic but cramped old arenas gave-way to bigger & brighter venues with better seats, paint-happy hardwood and $12.50 nachos.
And no change has been greater than disappearance of the inside game. In particular, the demise of the dominant center and power-forward.
Different from women's basketball where the tall pivot player still reigns, the menacing man in the middle has become an endangered species.
Since the days of Kareem Abdul Jabbar you could count on two hands the number of big men who've dominated down low: Bob Parish, Bird, McHale, Laimbeer, Shaq, Rodman, Magic, Olajuwon, Duncan and Karl Malone nearly fill out a very short list.
The culprit: NBA's adoption of the three-point shot.
The National was sitting pretty in the late 70s, having absorbed what remained of a monopolized ABA (1976) and negotiated lucrative TV / merchandise deals. But a dramatic rise in player salaries gave some jughead in a Suit reason to get creative.
In 1979 they reached into their former rival's bag of tricks (the American employed the dunk and the tres in 1968 "as marketing tool(s) to compete with the NBA (Wikipedia)" and pulled out the three-point gimmick to prime the pump.
Basketball's never been the same.
There had been a balance, a symmetry, a ying & yang in roundball.
Fans were treated to two theaters of play: one inside, where bruisers like Nate Thurmond, Dantley, Unseld, Reed, Walton, Lanier, Cowens, Gilmore and Dan Issel waged war; the other, out on the key where long-rangers Jerry West, Bing, Frazier, Maravich, Gervin, Winters and Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson could Heat it up in a hurry.
As long as both theaters had direction there was a symbiosis and the game flourished.
But by the mid-80s the physical, combative play which for years had made the sport so colorful…vanished. Centers and power forwards regressed into mere supporting players or disappeared all together. Much of the action moved away from the paint and up to the high-post where guards and guard-wannabes directed the flow and became the stars.
The spotlight swung away from bangers and over to finesse guys like Julius Erving and Mike Jordan as the 3-pointer and un-contested dunk became signature plays of the NBA.
If you see a guy in the low-post today chances are he's only waiting on an alley-oop or mesmerized as an opponent dunks on his head. Post game both will hug & laugh about it.
As most NBA rookies are today on the 5-year maturation plan, they'll never develop the wide range of skills that even stylers like Dr. J and Jordan would eventually pick-up.
"You don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle" (Seinfeld).
They don't sell the game anymore, they sell celebrity (endorsements), air-time (TV / Twitter / fantasy) and merchandise (cantaloupe-sized driver heads and wicked metal bats in Little League (Outside the Lines; 3/1/11)). If it generates a nice revenue stream, then history, integrity and sometimes safety, it would appear, all get swept under the rug.
When big-shots like Kevin Love (6'10) and Kevin Durant (6'9) spend half their time on the perimeter you know the game's gone soft. Both should live inside 15 feet. Instead, the past four seasons has seen a steady up-tick in their 3PAs. It's surprising, given the tremendous shooting touch both possess (FG%: .457 / .468) when not launching 3s.
So much for pumping-up the offense.
In comparison, the newly-crowned MVP LeBron James has seen his 3PA% decrease each of the past three seasons: 25% ('09-10); 19% ('11); 13% (abridged '12). That's growth.
Prime example of the tamer NBA: With 6 ticks left on the clock and down by only one vs OKC (PS G2 '12), rather than design a drive to the hoop for two, likely draw the foul, and even with a miss and no whistle, ball's in play for a rebounded score (Gasol / Bynum), Lakers Coach Mike Brown opts for the thrilling, unnecessary, low-percentage 3-pointer that Steve Blake rims out. Blake & Brown are lambasted but what the Lakers did was SOP in today's b-ball.
There are men who keep the spirit alive with dynamic play in the paint. A few of the standouts: centers Tim Duncan, Howard, Pau Gasol, Bynum and Joakim Noah; forwards Blake Griffin, Garnett, Cousins, Humphries and Atlanta's Josh Smith.
It's time to bounce the 3-pointer outta' the gym. Send it, along with the dunk contest and home run derby over to where they all belong: Saturday morning TV.
Then watch the roundball renaissance begin.

SAN FRANCISCO — Google on Wednesday launched a subscription-based music service, allowing users of Android phones and tablets to listen to their favorite songs and artists for a monthly fee.
The streaming service, called All Access, is available in the U.S. for $9.99 per month after a 30-day free trial. It will be available in other countries later. For those who start the trial by June 30, the monthly fee is $7.99.
All Access will be competing with Spotify, Rhapsody, Pandora and other popular music services. Apple, the biggest seller of online music, does not have a subscription-based service.
Google Inc. announced the music service along with expansions to its game services and tools for coders at its annual software developers' conference in San Francisco.
Google wants to not only offer access to millions of songs, but also help guide you to music you might like. You can choose one of 22 music genres and see key albums that define the genre along with recommendations from Google's curators. You can listen to any track right away, or switch to a "radio station" format featuring songs you'll likely want to hear. You can adjust the playlist as you go.
On the game side, Google is adding leader boards and the ability to match players in online games to its Android operating system for smartphones and tablet computers.
The new features match those available in Apple's Game Center for the iPhone and iPad. Google is also making it possible to save game progress online, so players can pick up games where they left off, even on other devices.
Three employees tried to demonstrate on stage how they could all join a racing game, but failed to pull off the demo due to wireless connectivity issues in the conference center.
The Google Play leader boards will also be available through a browser, said Hugo Barra, vice president of product management of Android.
The developers' conference provides Google with an opportunity to flex its technological muscle in front of a sold-out audience of engineers and entrepreneurs who develop applications and other features that can make smartphones and tablets more appealing.
The company, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., made a big splash at last year's conference by staging an elaborate production to highlight the potential of Google Glass – an Internet-connected device and camera that can be worn on a person's face like a pair of spectacles. Google co-founder Sergey Brin wowed the crowd last year by taking to the stage and then engaging in a live video chat with a group of skydivers who were in a dirigible hovering above the convention. When they jumped, the skydivers' descent to the rooftop was shown live through the Google Glass camera.
Much of the speculation about this year's conference, dubbed "Google I/O," has centered on a possible upgrade to the Nexus 7, a mini-tablet that debuted at last year's event as an alternative to the similarly sized Kindle Fire made by Amazon.com Inc. and the larger iPad. A few months after the Nexus 7 came out, Apple released the iPad Mini to counter the threat posed by Google's entrance into the market.
So far, Google hasn't showed off new hardware at this year's conference. Instead, it announced that it will be selling a version of Samsung's new flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, which runs a "clean" version of Android, without the modifications that Samsung applies to its phones.
Google will be selling a Galaxy S4 with 16 gigabytes of internal memory for $649 in the U.S. That's $20 more than T-Mobile US charges for the stock phone. Google's version will work on T-Mobile's and AT&T's network, with support for the latest and fastest "LTE" data network technology.

Perfect for a small or large wine space!
Cynthia from Orange Park, FL – Verified Buyer
My husband and I enjoy trying wines from various places we have traveled Over the past couple years we had grown our collection, resulting in storing these bottled in three different area, where space allowed. While looking for something else on this site, I saw this, great bottle wine rack. It is perfect for a small area in my dining room, allowing me to place these bottles in one central place, that is easy to see, and be able to locate that bottle of choice now. But it would work well in a larger space, in a closet, or even sitting on a small table. It is easily transportable , yet sturdy and well -made; so no fear of breaking bottles. Price point is excellent! The neutral gray goes with most any setting. I just love how Wayfair does such a wonderful job with providing great variety in accessory options, as well as larger pieces, for the home.

Deborah from Lewiston, NY – Verified Buyer
We were looking for a temporary, little, free standing, inexpensive wine rack and that's what we got. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see how pretty and sturdy it was. The finished was so much more than we anticipated and we no longer think of it as temporary. Good purchase.
Bottle Wine Rack
Patti from Rochester, NY – Verified Buyer
Perfect size for a rack that holds this many bottles. The price was great, no assembly required (which I really liked) and a nice looking piece of furniture. More gray than silver but still very nice looking, like the brass fittings they really finish the piece off
James West
James from Boston, MA – Verified Buyer
This wine rack is a great deal for the price and quality. It is exactly what I need for holding almost 2 cases of wine. Sturdy and compact this rack fits perfectly next to my wine refrigerator to store the additional bottles. I live in a city apartment so space is at a premium and this rack fits the bill. Bonus is that it showed up in 2 days!
More than I expected.
Margaret from Washington, PA – Verified Buyer
Shipped in just a couple days, strong, no assembly, the whole experience with Wayfair was wonderful . This wine rack was defiantly worth it, I saw this in a store for 3 times what I got it for with Wayfair.
Nice rack!
BigTimTX from Tomball, TX – Verified Buyer
Well made, heavy, solid steel construction. I would have given it 5 stars, except that two of the plastic adjustable feet were broken when it arrived (I epoxyed them back together) so the packaging could use some modification. Other than that, the rack is nice and stable, loaded or not and holds 23 bottles in a small space. Pros: Sturdy and stable. Cons: Packaging needs some attention.
Great purchase, super value
Rifat from Fair Lawn, NJ – Verified Buyer
I was about to purchase a more expensive product from another retailer, a market with "global" scope. We had more wine than what fit in our current stand and needed one for overflow. Glad I found this much more affordable option. Sturdy and fully assembled out of the box and I was able to place it where I needed it to be and get the bottles off the floor. Great for small spaces, for apartment dwellers, and for an extra rack in the dining room.
No Assembly Required!
Lori from Airway Heights, WA – Verified Buyer
Just pull this out of the box and load it up with wine! Its small and compact and was exactly what we were looking for. In fact, we ordered another on and put side by side for a wider look. I like the fact that is is not to tall. Pros: Nice finish, no assembly
Wonderful Wine Rack
do from Lake Charles, LA – Verified Buyer
Sitting just inside my back door - this Chateau Rack looks FAB with all my favorite champagne stacked in it! Lightweight yet sturdy and comes completely assembled. Perfect for overflow bottles and it looks attractive doing so.
francesca from rochester, NY – Verified Buyer
I ADORE this wine rack!!! It's bigger than the stupid little 6 bottle ones, but not so large it's it's own piece of furniture! Really nice, holds a ton to support my habit :) Sturdy and good quality, no assembly, and at a great price!

Photoshop Masking and Compositing: Fundamentals is the introductory installment of Deke McClelland's four-part series on making photorealistic compositions in Photoshop. The course shows how to make selections, refine the selections with masks, and then combine them in new ways, using layer effects, blend modes, and other techniques to create a single seamless piece of artwork. Deke introduces the Channels panel and the alpha channel, the key to masking and transparency in Photoshop; reviews the selection tools, including the Color Range tool , Quick Mask mode, and the Refine Edge command; and shows how to blend masked images so they interact naturally.
All right! So here we are looking at that blended version of the nameplate which I'm calling Preliminary nameplate.psd. And let's say I'm talking to my boss or my art director or my client, what have you. And they tell me, this is great, but we'd like to see some sort of edge-tracing around the nameplate, either a stroke or an inner glow or something along those lines. So with the nameplate layer selected, go ahead and drop down to the fx icon and choose the Inner Glow command. After all, Inner Glow tends to be the most flexible of the tracing effects.
Now I'll click on the yellow swatch and I'll dial-in a brighter yellow by changing the Hue value to 50 degrees and both the Saturation and Brightness values to 100%. Then I'll click OK. I'll take the Opacity value up to 100%, a Size of 5 pixels is just fine, but I want to set the Technique to Precise so that we fill in those corners. Now I show this to the client, the boss, whomever, if they're ecstatic, they love this effect. Great! I click OK and I don't like it at all. In fact, I have a couple of problems at work.
Notice that I'm tracing a highlight around the boot, one that's also interrupting the shadow and I'm tracing the right edge of the nameplate along with the left edge as well, whereas the effect I want is this one right here which you can check out inside that file called Final Wikked nameplate.psd. So obviously it is possible to avoid tracing the boot and to reinstate the shadow behind the boot and make sure that we don't trace the right and left sides of the nameplate. But how in the world do we do it? The good news is our alpha channels are in great shape, so we don't have the modifier masks and we don't have to redo the layer effects.
We can pick those up later. The bad news is we have to redo everything else. So essentially, we've got to recreate this nameplate. Now the problem arises from an overly hopeful view of layers. In my experience, folks tend to think as long as I'm using layers inside of Photoshop, I'm golden. I won't run into any problems. And so there is sometimes a propensity to put too much on a single layer, and that's a problem that we have. We need to break our effects into multiple layers, always a good idea, by the way,. We also need to introduce a couple of layer masks and a clipping mask in order to get the effect we're looking for.
And for starters, we need to expand the canvas because we've got to create a nameplate layer that's actually wider than the magazine cover itself. So let's start things off by turning off the existing nameplate layer, go ahead and click on the Background layer to make it active, let's press Ctrl+0 or Command+0 on the Mac to back out from the image. Then go up to the Image menu and choose the Canvas Size command, or you can press that keyboard shortcut Ctrl+ Alt+C or Command+Option+C on the Mac. Then turn on the Relative check box, so I'm either adding pixels to or subtracting pixels from the existing canvas size.
And now I'm going to increase the Width value to 100 pixels so we're expanding the canvas 50 pixels to the right as well as 50 pixels to the left, and then go ahead and click OK. Now that's going to create a region of white in the background, assuming of course that your background color is white. Don't worry about that though; we'll get rid of it in a moment. Switch over to the Channels panel and then click on the nameplate layer to make it active. And I want you to go ahead and select this rightmost region of the nameplate using the rectangular Marquee. Don't select any of that D, you just want to make sure you get empty rectangle.
And Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Drag or Command+ Shift+Option+Drag that selection to the right, like so. And because you have the Ctrl key down or the Command key on the Mac, you end up getting the Move tool on the fly. Because you have the Shift key down, you go ahead and constrain the movement horizontally. And then because you have the Alt or Option key down, you create a copy of that selection and you go ahead and extend the nameplate all the way to the right side of the canvas. All right! Let's go ahead and do that same thing over here on the left side of the nameplate.
I'll go ahead and select it and then Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Drag, that would be a Command+Shift+Option+Drag that selection over to the left. Then go ahead and click off the image in order to deselect it. Now I want you to press the Ctrl key or the Command key on the Mac and click on that nameplate channel in order to convert it into a selection outline. Click on the RGB item up here at the top of the Channels panel in order to switch back to the composite image. And I'm going to switch over to the Layers panel as well and press Ctrl+Shift+N or Command+Shift+N on the Mac to make a new layer, and let's go ahead and call this one newplate and click OK.
And I'm going to press the D key to reinstate my default colors and I'll press Alt+Backspace or Option+Delete to fill that nameplate with black. Again, this is a placeholder; I'm just filling it with black to determine the opaque pixels inside the layer. All right! Now I'll click off the image to deselect it. Now we are going to reinstate the original canvas size by going up to the Image menu and choosing the Canvas Size command. Now the Relative check box should still be on, go ahead and reduce the Width value this time to -100 pixels, so the same value we entered before, except negative instead of positive, and click OK. All right! Now we get this misleading error message.
It says the new canvas size is smaller than the current canvas size, some clipping will occur. Well, in our case, it's true. Some things will get clipped, some won't. The things that will get clipped are the flat objects like the background image, that will get clipped, or if you prefer, cropped, and so will the alpha channels because Photoshop can't help but crop alpha channels to the existing canvas size. However, this nameplate layer will still be the same size we made it, so it will actually extend 50 pixels to the right and 50 pixels to the left of the new canvas.
So go ahead and click Proceed in order to crop the image. That goes ahead and gets rid of those areas of white around the background image. Now just to prove everything worked the way it was supposed to, Ctrl+Click or Command+Click on the thumbnail for the newplate layer and you'll see that the selection extends out beyond the edge of the canvas. And that will allow us to get the tracing effect we're looking for. In the next exercise, we'll reinstate that gradient, we'll add the layer effects, and I'll show you how to cut the layer effects with the boot.

Founded in 1846, the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) offers a wide variety of courses in business, economics and related disciplines. AUAS is a school with more than 45,000 students, which makes it one of the largest of its kind in the Netherlands.
Exchange students enroll in the School of Economics and Management (HVA) which is one of the AUAS schools, situated outside the center of Amsterdam. Each year the School of Economics and Management receives about 350 exchange students.
Amsterdam is a cosmopolitan capital, with 736,000 inhabitants, and is the center of culture and entertainment. It is a bustling city with plenty of character. Amsterdam is home to wonderful history, museums, art and music. An excellent and extensive public transportation system puts it all within reach. Seldom mentioned is the city's charm with its row-houses, canals, houseboats, and abundant bicycles.
This exchange program runs for fall Semester (August- December) and spring semester (late January to early July). Students may only study in Amsterdam for one semester.
Fraijlemaborg, the Student Resident Hall is located in Amsterdam Zuid-Oost (South East) next to the AUAS/HVA school of Economics and Management building. The building opened in 2011 and has a total of 170 beds. This apartment houses international students, three resident assistants (RA's) and a caretaker. Students pay rent to the housing corporation De Key: http://www.dekey.nl/ik-wil-huren/short-stay-facilities/
There are 2 types of rooms available-
All rooms are completely furnished and have internet connection. There is a bicycle storage and laundry facilities in the basement of the building and a common room on the ground floor.
Fraijlemaborg building is close to train/metro station Biljmer Arena and metro stration Strandvliet. It is also close to a shopping center "Amsterdamse Poort" with supermarkets, bank, resturants etc. For entertainment you can visit the Amsterdam Arena home to the Amsterdam soccer club Ajax and where major concerts take place. In the
Heineken Music Hall you can visit other popular concerts. For cinema entertainment you can go to the largest cinema complex in Amsterdam, Pathé Cinema with an IMAX screen.
The train or metro can take you to the center of Amsterdam within 15 minutes. Riding a bike, it will take about 30-45 minutes to get to the center of the city. You may also take your bicycle with you on the metro.
Housing can be guaranteed if deadlines are met but not all requests for single rooms with private facilities can be assured.
Loyola University students who have a U.S. passport will start the process to get a residence permit while they are in the United States and complete it after they arrive in Amsterdam. The price of the residence permit changes every year. Currently, the cost of the resident permit is 307 Euros.
In order for Loyola students to study in the Netherlands, they are required to provide prove that they have sufficient financial means. The Proof of Financial Means is a requirement set by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND). Each year the IND sets a monthly required amount. Students who come to study at AUAS for one semester need to show that they have sufficient financial resources for a period of seven months. Loyola University Maryland cannot alter any decision made by the Dutch government.
There are three ways for students to prove their financial means, either;
Students are eligible for consideration for all forms of federal, state, institutional and private sources of aid, except the Federal Work-Study Program. Students studying abroad for a semester will forfeit the value of a Federal Work-Study assignment.
Tuition is paid to Loyola. Housing is paid to De Key, the housing company in the Netherlands used by AUAS. Students are responsible for all other expenses such as airfare, personal travel and meals.

Great experience for a first timer in Paris
Staff is very friendly and nice especially Tristan. The location is perfect very close to the Eiffel Tower and shopping. Likes the free espresso coffee at the lobby
Better than I expected
Location was great and short walk to the metro. The rooms were clean and spotless with all new kitchen amenities, electronics and furniture. The room itself is rather small and the sofa bed was ok. I was not in Paris to spend a lot of time in
the room. So I did not mind sleeping on it. Although, it was a pain to have to fold and unfold the bed all the time. Staff was great. The lobby area, internet and food options were limited so expect to do all of that elsewhere. The price seemed reasonable for the area. I would stay again but only if on a short trip.

I stayed last Fall at the nearby 'extended stay' hotel in H'burg with my wife. Nice/roomy, but at 2X+ price of Days Inn, I'll stay at Days Inn going forward when I don't need the extra room.
Great, great staff, especially Kevin at the morning front desk. Clean and safe enough that my wife can stay solo. Self-serve waffle machine, among the decent continental breakfast items that are included. Good location - intersection of north/south interstate and east/west main street (Hardy) get you all over H'burg fast. No road noise. Walk to Mugshot - great sports bar with very god food and nice selection of beer in frosted mugs.
No reasons to complain at this cleanliness and price. Highly recommend.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Wyndham, Orbitz, TripOnline SA and Priceline so you can book your Days Inn Hattiesburg reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Offertory Prayer
Each month's Offertory Prayers includes an "Invitation to the Offering" (see below) along with a digital image for those who might want to use it. We hope you will find this a helpful way to remind the people in your pews that their offering travels to many places to make a powerful difference in the lives of people they may never meet. You can find great stories of the difference our giving makes at http://umcgiving.org.
Invitation to the Offering
Your offering last week empowered ministry within our congregation and in response to the needs of our community. It also helped support the work of ministries beyond the local church, such as the support we give to maintaining a connection with 100 United Methodist-related Colleges and 13 United Methodist Seminaries. Some of these colleges are large, well know institutions such as Duke, Boston University, Southern Methodist University (SMU), Syracuse University, American University in Washington DC and Emory University in Atlanta. Others, while not as large, are highly respected and have long lists of distinguished alumnae. Whether large or small, they all bear the Methodist DNA to this day, living out United Methodist compassion. We saw this last year when it was Emory University that became the center for Ebola treatment in the U.S. working to save those infected and finding new ways to stop the spread of this devastating disease. These kind of cooperative efforts across our connection, thanks to the way the people of The United Methodist Church live and give connectionally. I invite you to give generously as we worship God through sharing our gifts, tithes and offerings.

July 5, 2015 – Sixth Sunday after Pentecost / in Kingdomtide
O Lord our God, our talents and gifts are so insufficient to our challenges. We rejoice that your grace is sufficient for us and for the body of Christ, the church. You reveal that power is made perfect in weakness. Help us to receive this truth. When we face hardships, persecution and difficulties for your sake, may we trust that you are at work to help us and the world. Use these offerings to strengthen our witness as disciples of Jesus Christ, for we pray in his name. Amen. (2 Cor 12:2-10)

Choosing a Foundation, Reflections on Mt 7:21-25 and Dt 11:18-28
We need to be careful what we do with the truth in these passages. We need to use them to help us remember to make good choices, ones that comply with the wishes of God. What we need to refrain from doing is to use them to chastise people in dire circumstances. Neither the words of Matthew nor the Deuteronomist give us permission to say to them, "You should have known better."

Christians and the Law
But, he's not saying that "anything goes," is he? Do Christians have some bedrock requirements for salvation? That is, how do we demonstrate faith? And, thinking about the Isaiah passage, how far are the ends of the earth? Who else might be included in this salvation intention? What do they have to do to demonstrate faith?

Looking at the birds after reading Aldo Leopold
I'm almost at the end of A Spiritual Field Guide, edited by Bernard Bray and mark Neuzil. This morning's reading included an excerpt from Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac. He cites these benefits from watching flocks of geese fly over: Perhaps one flock thrilled a score of schoolboys, awakening in them a sense of adventure. Another flock on a dark night may have awakened sleepers into memories and hopes. A third flock may have interrupted the drudgery of a plowman, bringing to him new thoughts of far lands and journeys.
I have always read Matthew's passage as warning us against obsessing about our futures. But, now I'm thinking that the command, "Do not worry about tomorrow," doesn't necessarily mean to be totally closed to thoughts of tomorrow.

Book Review from the New York Times
"They (retirement communities) separate people from art, culture, politics, and any sense of responsibility."
I read this on a day that I am reflecting on the passage from Matthew. What am I concerned about? What should I be concerned about? I'm looking at this from two levels. First, how much of a sense of responsibility do I have? Have I arranged my life so as to separate myself from community responsibility as much as possible? Second, more to the purpose of the books that were reviewed, in what way do I care about the people who can no longer live in their own homes? Have I forgotten them?

More thoughts about the earthquake in China
Here's the first paragraph, "The earth seems to in great chaos -- shootings, wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, cyclones, tornadoes. As we follow story after story of heartbreaking disaster, I wonder: "How can I continue to see, to hear, to read about these tragedies of human life? How can the aid workers continue to do their tasks as they hear the stories, see the losses, attempt to respond to the incredible needs? How can the survivors reach out to others when they have lost so much? How do they do it? And how did Jesus continue to care for people, day after day after day?""
She points out how Jesus dealt with disaster: 1) He took action. 2) He prayed. 3) He took time apart.
My concern is that we skip step 1 and spend too much time on step 3.
Prayers as I think about the earthquakes in China
O God, do not reject us. Repair the cracks in the earth. Rescue us. (from Ps 60:2).

3, O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me.
4, Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.
7, O Lord my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
31, In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me.
35, Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!
37, Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of wrongdoers.
43, Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from those who are deceitful and unjust deliver me!

Plans for 30 miles of protected bike lanes in downtown Minneapolis put bike plans in your city to shame
Friday, April 24, 2015

Sprucing up Twin Cities transit stations
Thursday, March 19, 2015
Chris Bentley.
With the Midwest's winter thaw underway, Minneapolis residents have an eye to the outside. But for the 40 percent of the city's downtown workers that walk, bike, or ride transit to their jobs throughout the winter, public spaces play a year-round role. Downtown transit stops in particular see tens of thousands of Twin Cities denizens on any given weekday, yet their designs range from utilitarian to downright unwelcoming.

The invention relates to a liquid spray bottle with combined drive, equipped with a liquid propulsion member (50) that has a main axis of translation (X′X) coupled, on the one hand, to a spray member (9) comprising a nozzle (11) having an axis of diffusion (Y′Y) and, on the other hand, to a container (3) containing the liquid. The spray bottle comprises a rigid casing (1 a , 1 b ; 20 a , 20 b) which partially surrounds the container (3) and which extends roughly in a main plane (P) containing the axis of translation (X′X), a connecting member (13) connecting the spray head (9) and the casing, and a region (7, 10 d) of sliding between the container and the casing, so that manual thrust ( ) exerted laterally on the container in the main plane (P) of the casing causes, through a combination of the action of the sliding ramp (10 d) and of the connecting member (13), actuation of the propulsion member (50) to spray the liquid and a movement of the bottle, with respect to the casing, in a pendular movement about an axis of pivoting located near the propulsion member (50) and which, by converting the movement, generates translation along said axis of translation (X′X) to actuate the spraying of the liquid through the nozzle (11).
1. A spray device comprising: a drive, equipped with a propulsion member, the drive defining an axis of translation, a spray member comprising a nozzle, a container that includes a protruding portion, the container containing a liquid, wherein the propulsion member is coupled to the spray member;
the spray device further comprising:
a casing which at least partially surrounds the container and which extends approximately in a main plane that includes the axis of translation, the casing comprising two half-shells that form a shell about the container, the shell defining an opening for the diffusion of the liquid sprayed by the nozzle and an opening for access to the container;
a connecting member, connecting the spray member and the casing,
a region of sliding between the container and the casing, wherein force exerted on the container moves the container along the region of sliding; and
a stop formed by articulation or clipping onto the spray member.

This application is a continuation under 35 U.S.C. 111(a) of International Application No. PCT/EP2003/014778 filed Sep. 17, 2003 and published in English on May 6, 2004 as WO 2004/037435 A2, which claimed priority from French Application No. 02/13367 filed Oct. 25, 2002, which applications and publication are incorporated herein by reference.
Embodiments of the invention relate to a spray device with combined drive, that is to say an atomizer or aerosol intended to spray a liquid, particularly a fragrance, a perfume or an eau de toilette contained in a bottle, this spray bottle being equipped with a propulsion member operating according to the member according to the invention.
Conventionally, there are two types of spraying: aerosols, which comprise a propellant gas released through the opening of the valve shutter of a valve to drive the liquid, and atomizers, the pump of which propels the liquid via the pressure mechanically exerted by a piston. The "valve—valve shutter" or "pump—piston" assemblies are hereinafter referred to as propulsion member. To actuate spraying, the spray bottle is equipped with a push-button which the user presses in order to introduce into the flow duct of the propulsion member the liquid contained in a bottle. Spraying is in fine droplets through an outlet nozzle mounted on the push-button.
In other embodiments of the prior art, an atomizer lever, adopting the form of a trigger which actuates spraying. This type of spray bottle, as illustrated for example in patents EP 0 449 046 or EP 0 734 783, finds applications in the household or hygiene sector (for cleaning windows, deodorizing, etc.).
Elsewhere, document EP 0 276 799 proposes packaging for a product in which the outlet nozzle is kept fixed and the push-button is connected to the nozzle by a flexible pipe.
The techniques described above are relatively tricky and/or complicated and do not offer any valuable alternatives to the push-button when the issue is one of producing a well-presented and attractive look, particularly in the sphere of perfumery, while at the same time remaining at reasonable production cost.
The invention sets out to produce a look of this type by virtue of another approach that also makes it possible to simplify assembly. To do this, it is proposed that the pressure and spraying generating movement be actuated not by pressing the push-button but by moving the bottle laterally in a rotational movement coupled with a translational movement.
More specifically, the subject of the present invention is a liquid spray device with combined drive, equipped with a liquid propelling member that has a main axis of translation coupled, on the one hand, to a spray head comprising a nozzle having an axis of diffusion and, on the other hand, to a container containing the liquid. This device comprises a rigid casing which partially surrounds the container and which extends roughly in a main plane containing the axis of translation, a connecting member connecting the spray head and the casing, and a region of sliding between the container and the casing, so that manual thrust exerted laterally on the container in the main plane of the casing causes, through a combination of the action of the sliding region and of the connecting member, actuation of the propulsion member to spray the liquid and a movement of the bottle, with respect to the casing, in a pendular movement about an axis of pivoting located near the propulsion member and which, by converting the movement, generates translation along said axis of translation to actuate the spraying of the liquid through the nozzle.
According to particular embodiments, the movement is converted by the bottle bearing on the casing along at least one linear or curved portion, for example in the form of a spiral or ellipse, or by an articulation with two axes of rotation, that is to say of the rod-crank type.
Advantageously, this spray bottle may comprise two half-shells assembled to form a shell to clad the bottle. The shell has at least one stop for the actuating member and a slide which produces contact with a region of the bottle, and two openings, an opening for the diffusion of the liquid sprayed by the nozzle and an opening for access to the bottle which opening is formed by a cut-out on part of the shell, the cut-out and the slide being arranged in such a way that pressure exerted on the bottle through this cut-out causes the region of contact of the bottle to move along the slide.
According to some particular embodiments:
Another aspect of the invention relates to the problem posed by dimensional tolerances, particularly when the bottle is made of glass, because the bottle needs to be held firmly in position. Taking the existence of these tolerances into consideration makes it possible to produce a spray bottle which can operate with bottles the dimensions of which vary according to these tolerances.
In order to absorb such tolerances, the invention proposes a resilient pivoting head coupled to the actuating member, of the push-button type, or which can be substituted for the latter through the incorporation of the means of connection to the liquid propulsion member and to the nozzle duct.
The pivoting head bears around an articulation allowing the head to turn about an axis parallel to the axis of diffusion. As a preference, the articulation is produced by a plugging-together of the male-female variety providing connection and guidance of the pivoting head on the shell.
Such a head comprises a guide and axial abutment body for the propulsion member, a guide for orientating the nozzle during assembly, and a spring part, for example elastic arms which bear on shoulders of the bottle. The spring part then has a dual role:
The pivoting head is made of a resilient thermoplastic, for example polyoxymethylene or polypropylene and is preferably obtained by injection molding.
The invention advantageously allows the use of interchangeable refill cartridges comprising a bottle, of modest cost.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from reading the description which follows of some detailed examples which are accompanied by the appended drawings which, respectively, depict:
With reference to the exploded view of
The half-shells have appreciably different sizes in the example illustrated, the upper half-shell having a spray opening 2 on a main face Fa through which a liquid can be sprayed in fine droplets.
The half-shells have molded-in assembly elements: retaining tabs 10 a on one half-shell which are associated with recesses 10 b formed on the other half-shell. The half-shells are cut to form main faces with upper 10 c and lower 10 d inclined sides.
The cladding is intended to envelop a glass bottle 3 the neck 4 of which is capped with a band 5 of the pump 50 the axis of translation of which, when not in use, coincides approximately with the axis X′X. The bottle has a shape which overall is parallelepipedal comprising two longitudinal main faces 4 a and 4 b extending in a main plane P and connected by two lateral faces 4 c with continuous curvature. A protruding glass portion 6 extends symmetrically, from one lateral face 4 c, along the longitudinal faces to cut off a triangle shape. The protruding portion 6 has a channel 7 connecting with the rest of the bottle.
The pump 50 propels the liquid contained in the bottle 3 by coupling to a spray push-button 9 comprising a nozzle 111 having an axis of diffusion Y′Y perpendicular to the main axis X′X. The push-button is housed in a pivoting head 13 which has an orifice 14 and two elastic lateral arms 15 intended to bear on the bottle 3.
The resilient pivoting head 13 is able to absorb dimensional tolerances. Such a head forms a guiding or axial abutment body for the push-button, and a guide for orientating the nozzle 11 via the rim of the orifice 14 at the time of assembly.
Once the parts have been assembled, the spray bottle has the configuration showed in the perspective view of
A lateral thrust {right arrow over (F)}1 (
Viewed in section on III—III of
The articulation formed allows the head to turn about an axis parallel to the axis of diffusion Y′Y. The articulation provides the connection and guidance between the shell and the pivoting head.
The elastic arms 15 return to the bottle to its position after use, with the creation of an axial clearance on the push-button, guaranteeing pump sealing. In addition, the arms compensate for the dimensional tolerances of the glass by holding the bottle firmly in place as the result of precompression exerted on the bottle during its placement.
According to another exemplary embodiment illustrated in exploded views in
The invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiments described and depicted. The half-shells, made of polypropylene or of polyethylene terephthalate or other thermoplastics.
The pivoting head is made of a resilient thermoplastic, for example polyoxymethylene, and is obtained preferably by injection-molding.
Furthermore, the propulsion member may be a pump, a valve or any suitable pressure means known to those skilled in the art.
In addition, the liquid to be sprayed may be chosen from a cosmetic product, for example a cosmetic oil, a perfume and a skin-soothing product.
All publications, patents, and patent documents are incorporated by reference herein, as though individually incorporated by reference. The invention has been described with reference to various specific and preferred embodiments and techniques. However, it should be understood that many variations and modifications may be made while remaining within the spirit and scope of the invention.

So it's too late to treat an old dog new tricks? There is no way Howard could actually try to improve his puck handling skills? After all he is a highly skilled athlete. Or are you saying his genetic makeup makes it impossible to learn how to handle the puck well enough to make a bantam league moronic mistake in a major NHL playoff game? Obviously I am being sarcastic. In 2001 Datsyuk was easy to push around and made too many moves. Were those his weaknesses he had to accept for the rest of his career? Every single year he has modified and improved his training and skills. He is constantly evolving. Howard isn't close to the level of Datsyuk, but he can take a cue and do real work to improve his weaknesses.
I never said that I don't think he should improve that area of his game. I said it shouldn't be surprising because thus far, he's not been a good puck handler. A bonehead play like this was just waiting to happen given his ability or lack thereof. Frankly, it's why his little Mrazak comment from game 1 was a little alarming to me, because the playoffs is not the time to shake things up, especially in a part of your game that has been notoriously weak.
But I'd love it if Howard worked as hard in he the summer on his weaknesses like Dats and the other greats do. That's why they get paid. Jimmy gets paid like them to. I was saying he should do this years ago if you were to go back and look at some old posts. He's got a solid skill set but he has clear areas that need improvement, and improving in those areas could really help him reach those highs more consistently and authoritatively.

Okay! So I just sent in my order to rent a doppler from BabyBeat.com. Has anyone else used this website? The doppler I got (BB150A is the model) said in the description that you could hear the heartbeat as early as 10-12 weeks with it. I'm a little heavy, (5'5" 250, but I carry it pretty well. It's not all around my midsection, and I'm very large structured) So I was wondering how you guys' experiences with home dopplers went? Do you think I'll be able to hear the heartbeat when it comes in? I should be 11 weeks by then. I had a m/c with my last pregnancy, so I just need this kind of reassurance to ease my worried mind. Any comments would be appreciated! :]
Anybody use a BabyBeat doppler?
