But I think you may want to change the title. How could we know for sure that this is about Pipkins?

|I should clarify what I meant
I'm saying If he still shoots 36% from the floor and 31% from 3, he's going to at least need to be great on the defensive end.
Love was god awful on defense, but at least offensively he ranked in near the top of every category for the PF position and he rebounded. He did that even though he was the 3rd option offensively and nobody gave him any credit.
Trey is going to have to bring something to the table if he continues to shoot so poorly.

|Burke - 13 attempts per 30 minutes
Waiters - 13 attempts per 30 minutes
I'm admitting that Waiters has a ridiculously inflated sense of his own abilities that's becoming comical, and that Burke's attitude is much better. But their offensive numbers are really close and Burke would have to dedicate himself to defense to play on this Cavs team.
I'm sure he could do that simply because he has a better attitude, but if we're pushing our mutual Burke love aside, we can admit that he hasn't even been an average shooter his first 2 seasons.
|1 week 2 days ago
I love the dude, and I always will, but his FG% and 3pt% give me bad memories of Waiters. However, I realize that his attitude is nowhere near as bad as Waiters.
He would have to dedicate himself to the defensive end to fit in with the Cavs.

......except on Mondays, my golf league tees off at 4pm, so I need to get there by 3 so I can hit balls and have a beer. At 2pm I start thinking about leaving at 3 and having a beer, so really I'm working a half day every Monday.

"You would think, under the circumstances, you would see much more," Kelly said. "We haven't seen that."
Burglaries were up 6 percent citywide compared to the same period last year, but overall crime was down 27 percent, police said.
More than 1 million people remained without power on Tuesday, and forecasters said the nor'easter headed to the region on Wednesday could still bring 50 mph winds gusts to New York and New Jersey, an inch of rain and a storm surge of 3 feet.
"I know it's been a long, long eight days," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
The storm fallout didn't deter voters in the most battered areas, with heavy turnout in New York and New Jersey. Cuomo had given displaced New Yorkers the right to vote at any polling place in the state.
With the temperatures dropping into the 30s overnight, people in dark, unheated homes were urged to go to overnight shelters or daytime warming centers. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would ask — but not force — people to leave some low-lying shore areas hit by Sandy ahead of Wednesday's storm.
Later Tuesday evening, the mayor ordered three nursing homes and an adult care facility evacuated from the Rockaways because of fears the weather might knock out electricity already being provided by generators. About 620 residents were being moved.
Bloomberg said in a normal autumn, the storm wouldn't be a big deal and wouldn't warrant evacuations.
But "out of precaution and because of the changing physical circumstances, we are going to go to some small areas and ask those people to go to higher ground," the mayor said.
He was closing parks, playgrounds and beaches, and property owners were ordered to secure construction sites.
Willamae Cooper, 63, rode out Sandy in her apartment in the beachfront Dayton Towers complex in the Rockaways. By Tuesday, Cooper had seen enough. She decided to leave for her daughter's house on Staten Island, rather than have a front row seat to another storm.
"After that first one, God knows what could happen," she said.
Associated Press Writers Eileen AJ Connelly and Jennifer Peltz in New York and Larry Neumeister and Frank Eltman on Long Island contributed to this report.

[Untitled] (Cancellation Prints)
Glenn Ligon's work, known for its stenciled quotes, often blends reportage, words, and images in ways that challenge traditional classification. The artist explores issues surrounding race, sexuality, politics, and representation. In 2003 he discovered that one of his earlier print projects, featuring text from the author Zora Neale Huston's 1928 essay "How It Feels to Be Colored Me," had not been cancelled by the printer. Cancellation of a series (by marking the plates with an X) ensures that no unauthorized copies of an artist's work are executed. For Untitled (Cancellation Prints), Ligon himself cancelled the plates by drawing large drypoint Xs on them but then authorized an edition from them. The artist stated, "Cancelled but present, new but haunted by the ghosts of their earlier meanings, the prints speak to the mutability of questions of racial identity and a shift in the cultural context in which the original works were received."

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Without a viable military option, Iran, like North Korea, will achieve its nuclear weapons ambitions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told members of the Jewish Agency's international board of governors during a meeting Monday.
Netanyahu said threats by Western countries to intensify sanctions against North Korea did not deter last week's nuclear test.
"Have sanctions, tough sanctions, stopped North Korea? No," Netanyahu said. "And the fact that they produced a nuclear explosion reverberates everywhere in the Middle East and especially in Iran."
"Iran does not conceal its desire to destroy the Jewish state and threaten the rest of the world," he said.
He added that without a "robust, credible military threat" backing up economic sanctions, the Islamic Republic will not be deterred from nuclear armament.
"If they are not, then it will have to be stopped another way,"Netanyahu said.
The prime minister said Iran will be at the top of his agenda when President Obama visits Israel next month.

Class System Incentives by Party9999999Watch
... wait till you see what they do next.
when they do so much less physical work and have more leisure,
and in reality could be replaced much more easily than any working class person.
Give anyone a ton of money, and some schooling on how to handle it, and you will have wealth.
But I would love to see the rich switch places and do physical work everyday for the rest of thier lives.
In America, you have TWO YEARS before a bank is allowed to begin foreclosure. And that's only if not a single payment has been made in that time.
I'd ask you to provide citation and examples of each of these instances, but for even if you bothered, I have three rebuttal citations waiting for each.
That last one in the *Poor* category is especially stupid since it's non-quantifiable, hyperbolic and inflammatory.
And Leftists are just as guilty of the stuff laid on on the left side of this thing as Right-Wingers are. Need I go into Warren Buffet's inefficient and dangerous transportation of oil by rail which is the *true* reason behind Obama's denial of the Keystone Pipeline? Or perhaps all of the 'Green projects' that have gone belly-up, into which The Left poured *billions* of our dollars? Maybe you'd like me to delve into Barney Frank's atrocities via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
You can't assign crimes to certain political parties as a matter of fact.
Criminal acts, abuse of the poor and corruption knows no party boundary. And don't you even *try* to continue the lie about 'Well, one party lies more than the other...'
It's a lie no matter who says it. As far as I'm concerned, both are becoming rotted. We need something more akin to British Parliament in this country with numerous parties representing more specific interests. And *NO* dynasties like Clinton, Bush or Kennedy. NO lifetime jobs. NO terms greater than four years.
It's a disgrace, what's happening now, and lies like this only add to the 'tail-chasing' futility.
A Dedication to J.C. and K.M.
One, a Radical, Socialist Rabbi.
Believed by some to be the Son of a god.
The other a Radical Socialist Political Thinker and Writer.
Who liked a beer or two or, perhaps even three.
Both with beards and long hair.
Both mocked in their time for their views.
Against the Ruling Class(es) of their society.
One kicked over the Money Changers tables.
The Market Traders of their day.
Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews
The Senate and People of Rome.
Always a Ruler and a Ruled.
The other wrote Das Kapital.
A treatise against on the horrors he saw, present and forthcoming.
Of the inequalities of Capitalism and the Industrial Age.
Of how the wealthy and powerful controlled the poor and powerless.
The theory of Capital and the Free Market run mad!
Would Adam Smith Laugh or Weep?
Would Galbraith and Keynes shout: "I bloody told you so"?
The money lenders are still there.
In Temples of Glass and Steel.
Still buying and selling, the Rulers, the interchangeable Political Class.
A Red Star.
A Hammer and Sickle
Uniting the Rural and Agricultural with the Scientific and Industrial
One in harmony with the other.
For the benefit of ALL.
The People, the Workers, the real producers of the wealth of the nation,
Mere replaceable parts in the huge and cold Industrial machine.
That blocks out the Sunlight.
Denied access to an education that might expose
the Truth of their History or Her-story.
And cause them to Rebel and bring down those 'false edifices'
That have been raised in 'their name and for their benefit'
Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews.
Nailed to a Cross for his Dissenting Views.
Surely, more than a 'cottage industry' the manufacture of such crosses?
So many were Crucified.
We don't even remember their names.
Who really received their pieces of Silver?
Was it Judas?
Or those that voted for the Death of a Socialist Rabbi
That held differing views?
A Red Star. A Hammer and Sickle
Uniting the Rural and Agricultural with the Scientific and Industrial
One in harmony with the other.
For the benefit of all.
For the Benefit of ALL.
The truisms held within of both were bastardised, perverted.
For the benefit of the few,
While the many lived lives that were "nasty, brutal and short".
One can lead to a Theocracy.
A Religious Police State.
Where dissent can lead to Torture, Exile or Death.
A Religious Police State.
Where neighbour spies on neighbour.
One can't be too careful, for there are heretics everywhere!
But never mind. We'll give you your 'pieces of silver'.
The other could lead to a Political Police State.
Or Capitalist Police State
Where dissent could lead to Torture, Exile and Death.
A Political Police State.
Where neighbour spies on neighbour.
One can't be too careful, for there are heretics everywhere!
We'll give you your 'pieces of silver'.
The Free-Marketer's and 'Democrats' shout
constantly and loudly that:
There are countless 'Reds under the Bed'!
"Goddamned Commies are everywhere"!
Trying to take our wealth and freedoms.
If they become too Strong, why then,
"We'll just Nuke the Bastards"!
So! Spy and Inform on your neighbour.
We'll give you your 'pieces of silver'.
Ideological Wars are fought directly or in proxy.
Sent by those they trust or fear.
Which is the Worst?
Which is Better?
Trust or Fear!
The masses trudge off to a meaningless death
In a Foreign Land of which they Know Nothing.
Under false banners that say what they do not mean.
Injunctions and Blockades are imposed by other 'United Nations'.
On one side or another, does it matter?
Positions can change as fast or a slow as on a chess board.
Check and Check Mate, you Mother-Fucker!!!
What would J. C. and K. M. think?
Would they shake their heads?
At how much we have corrupted their thoughts and words.
Natural progress of Humanity till the Apocalypse?
The endless creation of a dysfunctional Nation-State?
Remember the Treaties, Westphalia, Paris, Rome,
London, Washington, Potsdam is there no end to the secrets and lies
Built on the ruins of its predecessors?
Towards the Utopia that is still out of reach.
But, it's just over the final hill if we do as we are told.
Nicely and politely put, 'Strudel1288'.
Politeness is something else sonrouge has no concept of. Why does he believe that anyone who disagrees with him is a 'commie'? There are a number of us that may be slightly, or more, to his values and beliefs. However, and again, that does not necessary mean that were are 'Commies' or Reds under the Bed'. If you insult people like a spoilt and petulant child, do not act surprised if they return the 'compliment'.
As far as blocking goes, can you blame people for blocking you as you have done to them. Please do not act surprised, maybe getting blocked is one of your intensions, so that you can cry 'Foul'.
" See !!! These, dirty Commies are censoring what I have to say".
Again, I find your constant reference to bodily functions, more laughable than offensive.
Perhaps, it says more about your mind-set than you realise. You also may not appreciate or want to acknowledge how many people are actually laughing at you.
Furthermore, when you accuse somebody 'Jmoc1' of ".... bragging about be a dumb ass....". That ,surely,is a contradiction is it not? Even more so, "....when put together with the potential 'Honour' of being unblocked, when people start to agree with your views.
Is this not the same coercive. indeed, bullying behaviour of which you accuse Communist and other dictatorial States ?
I await with eagerness to your response and reply as always.
Have a Nice Day.
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
Oppressive, dictatorial control.
I believe I've made it clear in the past I support LIMITED AND RATIONAL GOVERNMENT, so if you're going to play dumb and pretend I support something I've spoken out against numerous times, then you are clearly not a source of intelligent discussion.
I can accept your views about class structure to a certain degree, however, I do not accept your views your views about my 'arguments' being worthless.
My aim is not to 'bait Trolls'. Nevertheless, I do not see why I should accept their 'bait'.
I am more than willing to establish 'cordial relations' and have an open, and free discussion and debate. Again, however ,there are many that comment on Party9999999 's points that do not answer questions that are put to them. Yes, some of these are the 'Trolls' that you describe, one of whom is infamous on this site.
Britain and other areas of the EU are more openly class structured than most people in the US are willing to accept about their own social structure.
The theories that tax breaks for the rich are unproved, in fact this stems from the disproved and disastrous economic theories of Reagan, Thatcher (in the UK) and the two Bushes with their 'trickle down' effect on the whole economy.
The number of CEOs, who have ruined previously profitable companies is growing.
The chief of the Royal Bank of Scotland ruined the bank causing it to be saved by the tax paying public. Fred the Shred was given a multi- million £ pay off and a multi-million £ pension fund. If it had been you or I that had been caught with their hand in the 'cookie jar', it would have been 'a fair and just trial with the body of evidence to support the prosecutions case'.
In many cases, these same CEOs flee abroad to countries that the UK has no extradition treaty with.
You are most certainly correct about education!
The standards of Education are of major concern, especially at the moment in Scotland.
We have the highest levels of illiteracy and innumeracy in Europe. This is not only a damming and shameful indictment of our educational system, but also of our society as a whole.
I worked in Further Education for over a decade with people with Special Educational Needs.
Some of them had been shut away for years previously in 'special care homes, also a damming and shameful indictment of our attitude towards the disabled).
In a high % of cases, these 'disabled' people were more willing to learn and gain new skills than mainstream students.
Again I agree with you about willingness to work. A high number of other students are given the opportunity to gain new and necessary skills to gain employment, but they are not interested, because as you rightly say it is' easier to live off benefits'. This is not a new problem, most of these young people are from 2nd or 3rd generation recipients of welfare benefits. At present, there are no 'food stamps' in the UK. A new scheme is being introduced, Universal Payments or Personal Independence Payment. From this payment, the recipient will be required to pay their house rent, private landlords are charging very high rents for poor quality accommodation, Council Tax, which included water, sewage and household waste collection. In trial areas, this is proving to be disastrous. A lot of the recipients of benefits, do not have the skills or the ability to arrange personal and household budgets. In many cases, the first thing that is purchased is satellite TV which can then be watched all the time. Mostly at night, turning their life around to nocturnal rather than a diurnal pattern and rendering them even more unfit for employment.
I worked on a Job Creation Scheme 'Get Ready for Work'. Again many of the students here were simply not interested. A fair % had other, mainly illegal sources of income.
At present, there is a policy of applying for at least 5 jobs a week or there will be a cut in benefits. This can lead to an increase in homelessness and crime rates. There are vey few available jobs in this area. a number of companies take advantage of the scheme by hiring unemployed people for the 6 months that they get help from the government to 'wage' these workers. The companies get paid or assisted, for 6 months. These unscrupulous organisations then dismiss the 'temporary' worker, hire a new one from the 'dole' for 6 months, dismiss them and re-hire the first worker.
The DWP is happy because they are reaching 'their' targets' of reducing the number of unemployed in an are, due to the fact that people are 'in' Work, Training or Education. It is very easy for the unemployed to give up hope and become deeply cynical. This in turn, must surely, be linked to the rising figures relating to drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse and violent crime.
Poor education and poverty seem to be a never ending or an unbreakable cycle.
I don't think that acquisition of personal wealth and materials is the way ahead or forward to make society any the better for all citizens. Hard work, skills, experience differ throughout the workplace, but each should be valued and given respect. There is little respect given by the top of the pyramid to those at the base supporting to the top. Is it any wonder that little is/will be given in return?
I have worked continuously since I was 16. I worked in the catering industry for over 20 years before moving on to University, then working in FE, gaining teaching qualifications. I paid for my own upkeep by taking part time jobs. I nevertheless did run up a private debt which was fully paid back. After leaving FE, I undertook a Post-Grad Diploma which I fully funded myself using savings that I had built up over the years.
Surely, it is bad judgement on the part of the Bank Manager to lend money, or give overdraft facilities to someone who has bad credit ratings and little or no money in the bank. Banks are renowned for 'aggressive' selling, mainly because this gives them bonus payments on top of their salaries.The 'victims' of this tactic are usually the uneducated who are baffled and bewildered by the information and figures thrust at them. A janitor may have more 'real life' experience and knowledge than a CEO, maybe, not always, but just maybe, they could give insight in how the company and its products and or services could be improved for the betterment of all in the organisation.
Pawn shops and pay day loan shops are growing in number in this town, they were previously unheard of as far back as the Depression of the 20s and 30s. A number of stores have also opened which offer weekly payments for household goods. These, in the payment period that must be adhered to by contract will cost the purchaser twice the value of what is purchased. Again, the motive here, is for bonuses and to a certain extent the manipulation of the less well off and less educated.
Yes, there are corrupt governments and political organisations that abound around the world, but these are not exclusively left-wing.
On the whole, I think that most of my points and arguments are coherent and cogent.
I would certainly not describe myself as being dogmatic. My views in the main are based upon my own life experiences and that of others.
I do not wish there to be animosity between us. I respect and value you input. It can only help to broaden my own knowledge base. I enjoyed reading you points and opinions, they certainly have given me 'food for thought' as they come from a different country and society.
Thank you.
Hey, sonrouge. You wouldn't happen to be a member of the NRA would you?
Do you have a firearm? Maybe it is you that is the 'thug and goon'. Oh, do you know where the term 'thug' originated? It certainly would fit in with your philosophy of the survival of the fittest. Yet, again you can't be all that near the top of the pile as you are not the Donald Trump of Arkansas are you MR Hosepipe?
Yeah, show us all how much of a man you really are by unblocking us, instead of acting like the spineless worm you really are by 'revoking the privilege' of wasting your valuable time.
Have a Nice Day!

The Best Buy outlet has a refurb 250 GB slim right now for $150. If you don't have much cash right now buy that, get your free month of Gold when you register an account on the system, and then buy a year of Gold for $40 (if you even want it) when it goes on sale in the next 4-6 weeks as it often does. Add a used/sale Kinect for $100 or less when one becomes available, again only if you want it. It's a much better deal and you'll really be glad you have that hard drive. I wouldn't worry about the refurb's 90 day warranty aspect. With the heating problem solved if anything goes wrong it's likely to be in the first month or after a few years.
Hmm. I think I may jump on this. My 60GB 360 died last summer and I've missed out on all those great XBLA games (the only reason I owned a 360 in the first place). Thanks for the tip!

ganglion can usually be diagnosed by its appearance
and location and by feeling the bump. Your doctor will also ask questions about
your medical history and do a physical exam. In some cases, an
X-ray or other
imaging test may be needed.
Your doctor
may shine a light alongside the bump. If the bump is a ganglion, the light
usually shines through it (transillumination). Your doctor may ask you how long
you have had the ganglion and whether it changes in size or is painful, and he
or she may apply pressure to see if it is tender.
X-ray may be used to:
In rare cases, an
ultrasound or
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to evaluate
unusual ganglions and make sure that a tumor is not present.
A ganglion
can also be diagnosed by draining the fluid (aspiration) and
evaluating it. The ganglion may temporarily go away after the fluid is removed,
but it is likely to come back.

I try to keep things pretty uncomplicated - most comfortable in a pair of jeans (maybe skinny ones :) with a cold beer in my hand and great friends around me. I consider myself pretty active and love working up a good sweat whether at the gym, teachin a spin class or running outdoors with the sun on my face. I'm an avid Crossfitter and while you dont have to be, it would helpful if you gave a decent massage to help me with all the soreness lol. I spend my weekends exploring the city, taking a road trip or lounging around with a book in hand. I also have a wonderful core group of friends and a great sister and 2 absolutely perfect nieces who mean everything to me and when I am not working, I am usually with them. Would love meet a guy who has an independent spirit but also cherishes their time with friends and family and respects that I do too. I'd like an outdoorsy athletic type with a smart a** sense of humor who can easily laugh at themself and at me (I can be a goof). Someone with satisfaction in their work and understands balance who is looking for something honest and real, even if it just ends up being a solid new friendship. I think my friends would say that I am funny with a quick witted, slightly sarcastic edge (I may argue hysterically funny with a quick witted...you get the point), kind, generous and a great listener. My twin sister would probably say that I was hot (but point out that she's hotter AND 4 minutes older). I guess I would say that I'm a pretty cool chic looking for someone to laugh with, get sweaty with and maybe even share a life with.

I try to travel as much as possible, whether it's a road trip for a long weekend or a week or two to one of my favorite sunny spots. Love the drive out east in the fall or ferrying it over to fire island in the summer.
Avocado. The feeling I get after a really long run. 7-11. Iced Coffee. Dancin to live music. Feeling the sun on my face. Naps.
I love having great dinners with wine, music, good food and fantastic company. I am almost always outdoors with lots of sun on my face. Good books. Great dancer. Athletic - love Crossfit.
Best advice I ever got ( ok, top ten) - never leave the house without a book in your hand...I even listen to them on tape while driving to work. Magazines, work journals, J Crew catalogs...you get the point!

For two weeks, we've been in a stand-off against the Japanese
whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean. The situation has been
intense, dangerous, and often heart-breaking for our crews aboard
the Esperanza and the Arctic Sunrise. But the tides are turning,
and for the last 8 days, we've been able to prevent the whalers
from slaughtering any whales. In an unprecedented chain of events,
we have the whalers on the run, and our ship, the Esperanza, is
keeping pace with the Japanese flagship and bringing a halt to
whaling activities.
Get a first-hand update from our crew member Nathan, aboard the
December 24, 2005
Today, for me personally, was one of the greatest days I've ever
my first blog post I wrote about how, 17 years ago, seeing
footage from the first anti-whaling campaign led me into Greenpeace
and, ultimately, to my involvement in this current campaign. I
vividly remember pointing to the monitor with the tape running of
an inflatable trying to thwart the harpooner, turning to my father
and saying, "I want to do THAT". At the time, it was a dream.
Today, that dream was finally realized.
Over the past month, the Billy G (the boat I'm driving) has been
fitted with a high-powered fire-fighting pump that sprays sea water
either straight up or out like a peacock tail. Working with the
wind, I can position the Billy G to send a wall of misty water up
in front of the whaling boat's bow.
So today, we fired it up. The whaling boat was not pleased.
We positioned ourselves upwind and created a screen of water
blocking the view of the whales from their ships' harpoons. After
taking a good twenty minutes of bridge soaking, courtesy of the
Billy Greene Custom Whaling Boat Rinsing Service, the captain
changed course for an ice field.
This went on for four unrelenting hours. Into the pack ice, out
of it, into drift ice, then into a little open water, then into
more, new pack ice. Ice everywhere. Constant course changes. Having
to turn around in dead-end leads to quickly retreat and fall back
to their stern wake to follow their ice breaking. Skirting through
gaps with inches on each side. Once we actually struck a shelf
underwater and came to a full stop. Phil came to us and with his
crew helped us to just barely get out in full reverse. Once,
frighteningly, we hit a desk-sized piece straight on at good speed,
jumping up and over it. But for all the ice, we came out
The harpooner did come out to his perch. But he didn't stay
there too long. He looked quite annoyed. And very wet.
We passed icebergs the size of mountains, basking in full, cold
sunlight, just breathtaking. In my experience, it was an epic
contest set in the most stunning natural amphitheater, beyond
anything I could have ever imagined. It was, even less than a day
after just experiencing it in reality, simply unbelievable. It was
a dream, a real dream.
But the real dream-come-true part was that this hunter boat did
not find or shoot a whale with us beside him. Everything he tried,
we foiled. Eventually, we turned back only because we needed to
take on fuel for our boat and pump. We had gone almost 25 miles
from the mothership with him, much farther than they will normally
go from the factory ship to hunt. And he was empty-handed.
For one day at least, I can say we faced off with a whaling
captain, and thwarted him. It takes a massive effort to get a small
boat like the Billy G to Antarctica to do this: it's a huge task to
simply operate a ship like the Esperanza and all of its support
infrastructure. There's a complex web of communication and
coordination woven between offices around the world. There is a
direct link that goes all the way from the individual who eagerly
sends us a donation all the way to us down here, using the
equipment they bought us, eating the food they paid for, putting on
the survival gear they donated.
Because of the efforts of the entire crew on this ship and all
of the folks involved in Greenpeace worldwide who put this effort
together and, most importantly, the supporters who give us what we
need to make the effort, I was the very lucky soul to actually get
behind the wheel and get a chance to protect these whales - 17
years after a dream was born. That truly moves me. It's such an
honor to be given that chance, I find it hard to talk about without
tearing up.
For me, that's what Greenpeace is about.
And we'll try to do it again tomorrow.
Happy Holidays to all. Thinkin' of ya.

2015 Wimbledon results and scores: Roger Federer, Andy Murray easily advance to 3rd round
By James Brady
@JamesBradySBN on Jul 2, 2015, 1:26p +
Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Petra Kvitova were all victorious in second-round action at Wimbledon on Thursday. Federer and Murray are the second and third seed for the men, respectively, and Kvitova is the No. 2 seed for the women. With both Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams advancing on Wednesday, the top seeds are all intact heading into the third round.
Federer made short work of American Sam Querrey, taking him down in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. Murray, in one of the day's opening matchups, dispatched Robin Haase in even quicker fashion, 6-1, 6-1, 6-4. Kvitova played on No. 1 Court following Murray's match and cruised to victory against Kurumi Nara, 6-2, 6-0.
A couple of seeded men exited in the second round, with No. 15 Feliciano Lopez falling to Nikoloz Basilahvili, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 and No. 30 Fabio Fognini falling to Vasek Pospisil, 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. For the women, No. 8 seed Ekaterina Makarova fell to Magdalena Rybarikova, 6-2, 7-5.
Other high-seeded players who managed to win their matches include women's No. 5 seed Caroline Wozniacki, who bested Denisa Allertova, 6-1, 7-6(6) and women's No. 10 seed Angelique Kerber, who took down Anastasia Pavlyuchenjova, 7-5, 6-2. Men's No. 6 seed Tomas Berdych was also victorious.

2015 Wimbledon results: Rafael Nadal upset by Dustin Brown, out in 2nd round
By James Brady
@JamesBradySBN on Jul 2, 2015, 2:43p +
Rafael Nadal has taken another early Grand Slam exit, falling to Dustin Brown in the second round at Wimbledon on Thursday. Brown and Nadal combined for one of the most exciting matches of the year, with Brown ultimately winning, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.
One of the more impressive aspects of this matchup for Brown is that Nadal didn't look particularly diminished. He's obviously had his struggles of late, but Nadal was fairly on-point throughout the match, and Brown matched him shot for shot, and kept up with him when the pace turned frenetic.
The first set between the two was easily the most exciting set of the this year's tournament thus far. Brown kept up with Nadal's pace athletically, and his shot placement was incredibly on point. He showed plenty of touch on his shots, which forced Nadal to be even more mobile as usual. Nadal is among the best at making those shots on the move though, and it was a back-and-forth throughout. Still, Brown took that opening set at 7-5.
After that, it looked like Nadal might dominate the matchup when he got out to an early lead in the second set. There were still very impressive rallies back and forth though. The two spent more time running across the court to hit shots blind than anything else, it seemed like. But Nadal definitely held the edge in the second set, taking it 6-3 to tie it at a set apiece.
Brown broke Nadal early in the third set, however, and was threatening another break again when leading 4-2. That point got to deuce multiple times, but Nadal ultimately fought off a pair of breaks to hold serve. Brown held his next service game to go up 5-3 in the set, and Nadal held his serve without giving up a point the next service game. But Brown held again on his serve, and went up two sets to one.
Brown scored another early break in the fourth set, and went up 3-1 rather quickly. He then threatened another break there, but Nadal fought him off to hold that serve. Brown's next service game went just as quickly as the last and he went up again. Eventually, Nadal was serving with Brown up 5-3, and Brown had a double match point opportunity, but Nadal got it to deuce with a couple strong shots, including an ace. Nadal then held to force Brown to serve for the match.
Brown held serve without issue, taking the victory and a spot in the third round. Nadal, who came into this tournament coming off a quarterfinals loss in the French Open, his best tournament, was ranked No. 10 at Wimbledon.
Roger Federer and Andy Murray were both among those victorious on Thursday, having a much easier time of it than Nadal. You can find the rest of Thursday's results here.

Surely all of you have heard the news of Josh Hamilton signing a lucrative five-year deal (worth approximately $125 million) with the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. It's a move that is sending shock waves through the league.The Angels are making a strong push to make a run at the World Series while also tossing around money in a bid to compete with a their other free-spending L.A counterpart- the Dodgers. With Hamilton in tow, the Angels have added another heavy hitter in a lineup that already includes Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. However, with Zack Greinke recently bolting the Angles to join the aforementioned Dodgers, the Angels could be in the market for an ace pitcher. Considering that the back end of the Angels' rotation includes the likes of Joe Blanton, Jerome Williams, Garrett Richards and the oft-injured and recently acquired Tommy Hanson, Los Angeles might be on the lookout for a nice price-controlled pitcher with ace abilities. Enter R.A. Dickey and the Mets! There may ...

A guide to understanding Fed's actions Wednesday
In their previous forecast three months ago, Fed officials predicted that the economy would grow between 2.3 percent and 2.6 this year and between 3 percent and 3.5 percent next year. Most economists think the economy will have grown 2 percent - at best - this year and roughly 2.6 percent next year.
The Fed will update its forecasts for unemployment and inflation, too.
Besides updating its outlook for 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Fed will offer its first economic predictions for 2016.
These numbers will be watched for any hint that the Fed has grown more or less optimistic. More optimism could mean the Fed feels the economy could handle future rate increases relatively soon. Less optimism could signal that any rate increases remain further off.
This will be a major event - and not just because it will likely follow the Fed's announcement of a pullback in bond buying. It's also Bernanke's next-to-last news conference as chairman before his term ends Jan. 31. (His final news conference will follow the Fed's last meeting of the year in mid-December.) Early this week, Lawrence Summers withdrew from consideration for the chairman's job, leaving the Fed's vice chair, Janet Yellen, as the leading candidate. Obama could announce his choice later this month.
As always, Bernanke will use his news conference to try to clarify any decisions the Fed announces. He's surely hoping for a more positive response than he drew at his June news conference. There, he said he'd been "deputized" by his colleagues to describe a possible path toward slowing the bond purchases. Bernanke said the slowdown would likely start before year's end and be completed by mid-2014.
He stressed that any Fed moves to scale back its support would hinge on how the economy fares. But investors didn't hear such assurances. They responded in panic to the prospect that the Fed would soon reduce its support for the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average sank 560 points in two days.
Investor response to a pullback in bond purchases is expected to be mild if the Fed announces a slight reduction of around $10 billion a month. That's particularly true if the Fed balances its move by underscoring its commitment to keep its benchmark rate low far into the future.
Economists generally think the Fed has done enough, through comments from Fed officials, to prepare the markets for the start of a modest and gradual reduction in bond purchases.
Yet if the Fed's initial move to trim the purchases is larger than investors expect, watch out. The reaction could be turbulent. And if the Fed surprises everyone and decides against trimming its bond purchases at all?
The markets may just rally.

The foreground where he is directly standing is much too hazy juxtaposed with how clear the character is. If they are on the same level then logistically they would be equally in focus. Also the right boot (viewer's right) is missing the linear lines of the rest of the character; it falls in too much with the hazy background. Also, the pants need to be worked on, study how forms affect clothing in real life (in terms of points of tension and release). Good luck, its cool.

Its a very interesting concept.
My biggest suggestion would be to work on your composition, having him just standing there in a basic pose is a little uninteresting. Maybe a perspective angle seen from below or with him looking out over a cliff or something. Anything really, he looks likes his posing for a picture or something.
It shows a lot of promise and the beginning of a good unique style.
Don't be discouraged by comments from people like dem0n. Some people just don't understand the idea behind "constructive critiscism".

Excellent salad - I made it for a dinner party and it converted the non-kale fans into kale lovers. It is the perfect mix of textures and savory and sweet.
Sorry, forgot to rate the recipe with my review. 4 forks for easy and flavorful.
This was really good. I used soft white goat cheese instead of parmesan, thought it was even better with goat cheese. Also subbed a 1/4 c. chopped red onion for the shallot. Let kale sit in dressing for an hour before serving and that was plenty of time to soften the kale. sprinkled chili powder over the white goat cheese tasted and looked really good.
This was wonderful. Used the rice vinegar as suggested. I felt like the favors complemented each other well. It was so good that I kept the leftovers, which I never do with salad.
Use regular kale, not baby kale. I use the Lacinto Kale (dino kale). The dressing is intended to break down the tough mature kale leaves, so I can understand why your baby kale is not holding up.
I'm having a bit of difficulty using baby kale (organic, pre-washed in a tub). I stemmed it and then cut it up a bit. I think that cutting it up was a mistake. There was too much dressing and it is fairly "gloppy" (hope you get the idea). I'm going to try again with two packages of baby kale, but would love to know if anyone else has tried this and how far ahead of time you put the dressing on the baby kale.
Shared this with my co-workers and they absolutely loved it. It's a perfect balance of earthy, sweet and tangy. I altered the dressing a little by adding juice from 1/2 an orange, added a teaspoon of red wine vinegar, zest of a lemon, small clove of garlic and omitted the red pepper flakes. I also substituted the almonds for Trader Joe's candied pecans.
Have had this twice this week and once last month. It is delicious. One time I made it with dried cranberries rather than dates - both we great. I'm going to start eating this for breakfast along with an egg.
Forgot to rate the recipe earlier.
Have made this twice in two days. Even the picky eaters in my family liked it. I used goat milk feta. I love the spiciness of the red pepper flakes, the flavor and crunch of the toasted almonds, and the sweetness of the dates (I also through in some dried cranberries). I used regular kale not dinosaur kale. Make sure you marinate long enough for the kale to soften. I found that 6 hours was long enough (4 hours not long enough). I had so much kale that I doubled the amount of dressing, and I put the olive oil in at the beginning.

Another thing I cannot find in China
Ok, Hardibacker board. It's a brand name. Can someone give me a generic name? Because thus far I can not find Hardibacker in China nor a translation into Chinese (Mandarin).
Also, is it absolutely necessary? What's its purpose? It's not an insulator as that's on top of the concrete layer. Can I not just pour concrete on top of my plywood forms?
From the pictures in the plans the hardibacker seems to cover the holes in the cinder blocks, so why are we told to block them up with the empty cement bags?
Also, if you are pouring concrete atop the Hardibacker why do they tell you to use a release agent on plywood that is not after all in direct contact with the concrete you just poured?
Re: Another thing I cannot find in China
isn't if fiber cement sheeting (Hardibacker is probably a US brand?).
Re: Another thing I cannot find in China
You don't need hardee backer board, hardee plank or anything else like that. You can make your form out of anything, plywood, osb, drywall, lumber, metal, as long as you are going to strip it out later. There is a lot of crap information on this forum--use your common sense when working with concrete. Actually there is some good formply around that is painted already. I just put a sheet of plastic between my plywood and the concrete...when you strip the form it comes out glassy smooth!
Use what you can find. In another thread someone said that you could use cow shit and sand to make the mortar to hold the bricks apart. If you want a nice working oven forget about the bricks and use castable. Then you do not have to be a member of the "cracks club" and worry why your dome is cracking apart.
I am finding out that the nice thing about WFO's is using them. Get one built as easily as you can--for as cheap as you can--use your own judgement and just do it! I have over-fired my oven on the curing cycle and everything seems fine. Tonight I threw a whole bunch of kindling into the oven and in less than an hour, the dome had cleared--inside temps were over 400C. Cleared right to the floor! Pericrete was cool--same for render. Maybe approaching dry!
Once you have an oven that you can burn---then you can use it as a focal point for gatherings... Could be like "Sams' Place" in Cheers! Place to enjoy good food, experiment with cooking, experiment with drinking, place to relax! That is the Magic of the WFO--it makes a place to "gather"!
Close enough is good enough in making an oven. All that you are trying to do is keep a fire in one place long enough to cook something. Cavemen did it with piling rocks around a fire. Your smarter than a cavemen--otherwise you could not fly choppers! If you want your oven to stay hot longer, add as much insulation as you can afford... If you want to make a statement--clad it in gold leaf like some of the Buddhas!
Starting to enjoy cooking for free! Maybe I have to become a tree hugger! :eek:
Re: Another thing I cannot find in China
Hardibacker is a brand name for cement board, sometimes called cement fiber board. Also might be sold as tile backer board, as the standard use is as a base for tiled walls and floors in bathrooms.
Cement board shows up in two places in the Pompeii plans. If you wanted to, you could use cement board instead of plywood to make your forms for the structural slab. The advantage there is that you can lay the cement board on top of your block stand and leave it in place, whereas you have to be able to fit the plywood into the hole in the middle of the blocks and remove it once the concrete has cured. Nearly everyone uses plywood though. One exception is Bruce's build: http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/f6/3...lly-19181.html.
Cement board is also used for the walls of an enclosure finish, rather than plywood, as it is moisture resistant and non-flamable. Given how well insulated most WFOs are, I'm note sure that is strictly necessary, but that's what the plans recommend, and it's probably good practice in a "belt and suspenders" kind of way.
Which is a long winded way of saying, if you can't find Hardibacker or some substitute, don't worry about it--you don't need it.
Re: Another thing I cannot find in China
Like Mikku said, use what you have available in your area. Lots of ways to skin the filthycat.
Re: Another thing I cannot find in China
Thanks guys, Yea I didn't think it made too much sense to begin. I've got my plywood bottom up for the hearth today. Hope to finish the forms this weekend. Still need to form my workspace my sink area and the base for the BBQ too. If I can get it all done maybe I can pour on Monday.
I'll consider the castable too but maybe it's a masochistic tendency but I really just like the brickwork side of it.
Have a great weekend fellas

Lloyd Goodrich
Lloyd Goodrich (July 10, 1897 – March 27, 1987) was an influential American art historian. He wrote extensively on American artists, including Edward Hopper, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Raphael Soyer and Reginald Marsh. He was associated with the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City for many years.[1][2]
During his childhood in Nutley, New Jersey, Goodrich was a close friend of Reginald Marsh, who would later become an important painter. Initially Goodrich considered a career as an artist. He studied painting and drawing at the Art Students League of New York with Kenneth Hayes Miller from 1913-1915. Between late 1915 and summer 1916, he studied with Douglas Volk at the National Academy of Design. In 1916 Goodrich returned to the Art Students League but he gave up his artistic ambitions by 1918. In 1935 the Whitney Museum of American Art named him Research Curator in 1935. He later become the Associate Director in 1948, and then Director in 1958[3] Goodrich died of cancer at the age of 89[4]

In geomorphology, a terracette is a type of landform, a ridge on a hillside formed when saturated soil particles expand, then contract as they dry, causing them to move slowly downhill. An example of this is the Manger near the Uffington White Horse.
It may also be described as a small, irregular step-like formation on steep hillslopes, especially on those used for pasture which are formed by soil creep or erosion of surface soils exacerbated by the trampling of livestock such as sheep or cattle. Synonyms (not preferred) are: catstep, cattle terracing, sheep or cattle track.
The pattern as seen in Uffington White Horse can be seen more clearly in two images in this external link These patterns are not created for cattle, but made by cattle in their tendency to walk horizontally than vertically. The shift of their path and continued use results in such patterns.

Sales forecasting is a critical responsibility of any business. What exactly is a sales forecast? Essentially, it is a method of analyzing data to make predictions for future sales. Data examined includes customer profiles, geographical information, seasonality, the current condition of the economy, population changes, and productivity leads. All of this data is compared to the historical data of previous years. Through this comparison, businesses predict returns on investments, make production plans, gain knowledge of customers and consumer goods, and increase customer retention. While collecting all this information, an effective business increases efficiency using a group effort.
