Jeff Keys' Midwest Division Preview!
This division features an exciting young Pacers squad, a superstar on the rise in Kyrie Iriving, and the return of former MVP in Derrick Rose. The Midwest division of the NBA is definitely one to watch, especially since these teams should either be locked in or on the rise over the next few years. Then there's the other two teams in Detroit and Milwaukee who seem to just make marginal signings that will have little impact on their standings. However…not sure if we will actually see any bad teams in this division, but I can't see more than three making the playoffs.
The Good: They have interesting young pieces they can build around. They locked up Larry Sanders to a 4 year extension after he just missed averaging a double-double and nearly three blocks per game in his third season. They also traded for a good, young, Kentucky-bred point guard in Brandon Knight who should see his assist numbers climb having better players around him. Add in frontcourt pieces Caron Butler and Ersan Ilyasova and you have a solid frontcourt. Solid. Larry Drew will be in his first year coaching the Bucks after finding some success with the Hawks. He does also have OJ Mayo as his starting two guard. Mayo could be the leading scorer on this team. Carlos Delfino, Luke Ridnour, and Gary Neal solidify your backcourt and small forward rotation.
The Bad: Who backs up the guys in the frontcourt? And notice how I repeated the word "solid." That's because the frontcourt is not "great." They're just solid. Butler is injury prone, Sanders is not a scoring machine, and Ilyasova is not a offensive force either. Any injuries to the frontcourt will decimate any hope the Bucks have at making the playoffs. OJ Mayo has not been the offensive threat many thought he would be entering the league, but will be the leading scorer here, most likely. With that said, what does that say about the rest of your team? They're lacking much of a team. They have no one in the starting line up who can be "The Man." They remind me, as far as starters are concerned, of the Detroit Pistons that won the title in 2004. A defensive minded center, a power forward with range, two backcourt scorers; but…this team is different in that they don't have as good of a bench, their starters are mostly unproven, and they lack a clutch, end-of-game closer. I don't see them making the playoffs.
Projection: Over/Under wins: 36.5 5th in Midwest
The Good: This team is stacked in the frontcourt. Between Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, Josh Smith, Jonas Jerebko, Josh Harrellson, and the oft injured Charlie Villanueva, there's loads of talent. Add in a young backcourt of Brandon Jennings, Will Bynum, Rodney Stuckey and you have a fringe playoff team. This is without adding in the two rookies and Chauncey Billups, who undoubtedly came back to retire. Mr. Big Shot is loved in Detroit and will get his chance to show what he has left. The frontcourt is overly impressive and should dominate the glass in nearly every game they play, but Greg Monroe will command a large contract in the near future. Will Detroit pay him? And what can we expect from interesting rookies Peyton Siva and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope? Finally...this is the most talent Jennings has played with. He has lots of offensive talent around him. Will he take a step forward?
The Bad: Joe Dumars is still overpaying players that are not worth what he offers. He made stunningly impressive decisions roughly ten years ago. I don't question Josh Smith's talent, but I do question giving him that large of a deal. He has struggled to produce in the preseason, compared to Monroe. And speaking of Monroe, how will they handle his situation going forward? This team is loaded in the frontcourt but may lose some of that if they don't want to give him a huge deal. Jennings is a poor shooter, but having Billups as a player/coach will be huge in his continued development. Speaking of Billups, can he contribute anything?
Projection: Over/Under Wins: 38.5 4th in Midwest
The Good: They've got Kyrie Irving, the best thing for Cleveland since you-know-who. And you-know-who may come back, but that's for another article. And they were lucky enough to have the first overall pick in this summer's draft to snag Anthony Bennett. They have the 4th overall pick from 2011 in Tristan Thompson. This team has a lot of young talent surrounding Irving, who is definitely a superstar in the making, along with potential all stars in Bennett and Thompson. Supersub Jarrett Jack came over from Golden State. They have good depth up front with Tyler Zeller and the returning Anderson Varejao. They also added Andrew Bynum, which could be a huge plus in getting attractive free agents, or one in particular, back to Cleveland. The bench has added depth with Jack, plus Earl Clark and CJ Miles, in addition to the aforementioned Varejao and Zeller.
The Bad: They have potential for injuries, with Bynum, Varejao, and Irving having all missed near entire seasons at some point in their life. Bynum failed to prove himself at all, other than racking up an injury, while already injured. They have a brand new coach, and are very inexperienced. This team will grow together and most likely add a premier free agent of some kind next summer. This year though? A fringe playoff team. At this point, they're too young and the frontline is too brittle.
Projection: Over/under wins: 42.5 Tied for 3rd in Midwest
The Good: Derrick Rose is back. So is Luol Deng. The Bulls definitely missed him in the playoffs, but the good in that was that it gave Jimmy Butler minutes on the big stage, and he played a lot of them and performed well enough to be in the starting lineup this year. They still have Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, and Taj Gibson, perhaps the best 3 man rotation in the league at PF/C, along with having Nazr Mohammed. Over the past two years, they've lost some of the formidable bench they had in Derrick Rose's last year, but added Mike Dunleavy this offseason. Kirk Hinrich is still in Chicago too.
The Bad: Rose has looked good in the preseason, but you always worry about a player with a tender knee like that. Also...will he eventually show any effects of sitting out the entire year? As mentioned, they have lost the depth they had on their bench. And will Joakim Noah hold up? He plays a reckless game and is such a big part of their defense and energy.
Projection: Over/Under Wins 51.5 2nd in Midwest
The Good: Paul George is emerging as a Kevin Durant Lite. In his third season, George emerged as Indiana's best player. Their former best player, Danny Granger, is back after missing nearly all of 2012-13. George, David West, and Roy Hibbert might be the best frontcourt in the league and are almost certainly the best defensively. The bench was majorly upgraded, as Indiana has a pretty solid backup for every position. Luis Scola will provide toughness and rebounding. Chris Copeland proved to be a guy who could score in a variety of ways as a 28 year old rookie for the Knicks last year. In addition, the team is young, but with the right mix of veterans. They'll be a top four team in the East for several years.
The Bad: Danny Granger is already injured and scheduled to miss at least the first two games as I write this. Paul George got his huge deal but suffers from poor shot selection at times. Will Roy Hibbert start out slow, as he did before? Indiana DID upgrade the bench, but by doing so, did they take a step backwards defensively?
Projection: Over/Under wins 55.5 1st in Midwest
As I examine my predictions, I find it tough to rank the bottom three so low. However, none of those teams have proven anything. And all of them made very questionable free agent signings--some of them longterm signings. Indiana did nothing to hurt themselves longterm while resigning George and upgrading their bench. Chicago took their 2nd round playoff team and added a former MVP to it, while only losing Nate Robinson.
Indiana and Chicago COULD wind up facing each other at some point in the playoffs, and if Rose regains his MVP form, I could see the series going either way.

This Ocean Drive favorite, renowned for seriously divine Gruyère cheese popovers and succulent steak and fish dishes, illuminates the vibrant, open lobby of the snazzy Betsy Hotel. It has the distinction among all of Miami's steak houses of serving breakfast daily and consistently impressing even the most finicky eaters. You can count on the highest-quality cuts of USDA prime, certified Black Angus, and American Wagyu beef, in addition to blackboard specials, and sushi and raw-bar selections. Though the name may say steak, the fresh fish is arguably the highlight of the entire menu—the sautéed Dover sole with soy-caper brown butter is legendary.

We really liked this restaurant. Granted the Betsy has such a good feel that we were bias before we even started to eat. The beef is quite amazing. Even the hamburger is special. But the tuna tartare was such a treat. A little pricy but well worth it...

[Insert witty one-liner or meaningful song lyric here. No pressure.]
Smiles, laughs, hugs, coffee, tea, ice cream, good grammar, friends, family (of origin and chosen), fun socks, hoodie sweatshirts. These are the essentials of a happy life. I'm learning as I get older that nothing is forever: rough patches will always pass and, unfortunately, bright spots will fade out occasionally (but return). I am generally optimistic and try not to take myself too seriously. I'm looking for someone who can appreciate that "a non-toothache is very pleasant" (thanks, Thich Nhat Hanh) and who lives in the moment, one day at a time, letting tomorrow worry about itself. I'm starting to dip my toe back into the dating pool after taking myself actively out of it for over a year to focus on my health, my work, and my relationship with myself. My goal is to find a fun and meaningful relationship with someone who knows that the most important part of life is sharing it with those you love and making the most of every day.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 3: AJ Feely #14 of the Philadelphia Eagles is sacked by Jason Trusnik #96 of the New York Jets during the game against the New York Jets on September 3, 2009 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that LB Jason Trusnik signed a new two-year extension with the Miami Dolphins back in November worth $2.17 million. Initially a reserve linebacker and special teams player, Trusnik has played in all 15 games this year and even started two. More interesting than that is the fact that the Dolphins could have as much as $46.84 million in available cap space next season, according to Salguero. Miami will have a number of free agent players to address like OT Jake Long, DT Randy Starks. WR Brian Hartline and RB Reggie Bush, so it will be interesting to see how much of that money they use to lockup their own players or pursuing replacements in the free agent market. Here's our Top 50 Free Agents list in case you wanted to take a look at some of the best available players in this year's free agent market. The post Dolphins Re-Sign LB Jason Trusnik, Could Have $46 Million In Cap Space For 2013 appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Advice on an RD 250 build

Yeah, after an hour with the Simple Green I gave up. Ten minutes with auto engine degreaser and I was nearly done.
Of course once I started cleaning I couldn't stop so I ended up pulling the shift forks and drum.
And of course once I cleaned all the sludge and residue I got to a better look at the bottom of the crankcase just below the counterbalance/webs.
Looks like grenade went off in there at some point...
Tonight I'll clean the top case and then dry assemble it. Then I'll see what I get for the bearing journal diameters.
I also did a little more research and found out that those little indentations aren't supposed to be in the journals. I assumed they were when I first pulled it apart, but in actuality the "pips" on the bearings are supposed to sit in the machined openings in the front where the cases meet. Thank god for the interwebs.
You know it's funny, but as you work on a bike this old you can't help but wonder about what kind of life it had. Everytime you take a part off and clean it and inspect it you learn a little more about it and the people who owned it. And in that respect this bike seems pretty unusual. Because it seems like most everything is in one of two conditions: either perfectly functional but with a a little bit of dirt and grime or completely beat to shit by abuse and lack of mechanical skills.
Truthfully if I didn't have such a soft-spot for these bikes, and if the rest of the bike was in the typical rusted-mess condition they are usually in, I'd have passed it on or parted it. Unfortunately(?) the more I dig in the more I'm enjoying it and I really want to see this looking good again.

Uninstalling Panda endpointprotection prior to installing SEP
We are changing antivirus system for a customer.
Currently they are using Panda Endpoint Protection (PEP) and we are going to switch to Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) v 12.1.
I installed SEP on a machine that already had PEP installed, and it did not uninstall it.
Are there any sugestions on how I can automate an uninstall of PEP and install of SEP?
// Alexander
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
As of now, Panda Endpoint Protection is not supported in with the "Third-party security software removal feature"
Check this Article:
About the third-party security software removal feature in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU1 MP1
and check this Article as well -
However, you could use the SEPprep utility to do this.
It is on the install DVD under Tools\NoSupport\SEPprep

Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
It doesn't look like the uninstaller in the SEPM supports the removal of Panda. You'll need to use SEPPrep by adding it to the setup.ini file if it's not in there.

Well SEPprep did uninstall the antivirus part, but not the agent and schedueler.
Will have to see if that is enough.
I have successfully installed with removal, but I have to figure out a way to do it silent. Now I get UAC when running SEPprep, and the users will get confused.. :)
They have both x86 and x64 clients, so I'm using GPP to add a registry value that run SEPprep based on the OS (HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce).
We made a startup script (bat-file) using GPO to uninstall with SEPPrep and there after install SEP.

You will have the entire home, spacious, quiet and comfortable, with a private backyard in beautiful Mountain Park, Lake Oswego, (voted one of the top 10 places to retire in the USA) 2 minutes from the major freeways and 10 minutes from downtown Portland - convenient to outdoor activities, walking trails and parks, indigenous wildlife as well as the Lake, great shops and restaurants. I will be staying nearby and available to answer questions. I have travelled in Europe and speak minimum French, Italian and Spanish.
There is a master bedroom for two with vaulted ceilings, a queen bed and private bath and a smaller bedroom with a single bed and private bath.
There's wi-fi, Apple TV, lots of CD's and DVD's, at this moment no TV. Parking is available in the driveway. You will need a car.
Guest Access
The entire home. I'm leaving but will be reachable and nearby.
Interaction with Guests
Only when necessary

We had a wonderful stay at Fran's house and would wholeheartedly recommend the place! We rented the entire house and the pictures listed do not do it justice; the place is extremely clean, spacious, full of light, quiet and has everything you could need (along with beautiful artwork to admire). Both beds are very comfortable and Fran left us local fresh berries and biscuits for breakfast! Plus coffee, eggs and waffles, along with ample towels and extra pillows and bedding. The back patio is beautiful and relaxing, we enjoyed our morning coffee and breakfast out there. Fran made us feel very welcome and at home, and was always ready to help with suggestions of things to do and places to eat. It is approx. 15 minutes on the freeway to downtown Portland. Lake Oswego has a charming downtown with a famers market and a wonderful French bakery called St. Honoré Boulangerie, do not miss this place, the food is delicious and it is right on the lake. If you would like to be close to Portland in a relaxing, spacious clean house, this is the place for you! Thank you for everything Fran!
Fran was very kind to open our home to us. Everything was clean and comfortable, which made us feel very welcome. The neighborhood is very quiet for a relaxing, well removed from the busyness closer to the city. Nothing but good things to say!
Our stay with Fran was lovely. She is very accommodating and welcoming. We were given the best bedroom in the house with a private bathroom. The bed sheets were wonderfully crisp and clean and the bed very comfortable. She even left for several days so we could have the house all to ourselves. Upon her return she gave us as much privacy as possible. She made herself available for any questions and guidance about Portland and its real estate market. She truly wanted us to have an enjoyable experience. The location was quiet and with easy access to Portland.
Fran's place was a great spot for my husband and six year old daughter to call home for a weekend visit to Lake Oswego and Portland. The air conditioning was appreciated during 90 degree July weather and the house was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Fran was great to communicate with, and she even left us breakfast food. Her artwork was really inspiring, especially to our daughter, who wants to be an artist. There was wifi, which made my husband happy, no cable, which we don't have at home either so did not miss it at all, however, Lucy did love watching Netflix selections on Fran's Apple TV.
We enjoyed going to the Saturday Farmer's Market in Lake Oswego and a fabulous French bakery in Lake Oswego, as per Fran's suggestion. Fran is a wonderful host and we had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in her house, we highly recommend it.
The reservation was canceled 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Lovely spacious house in quiet neighbourhood. Beautifully decorated with Fran's pictures. Air conditioned and parking in drive. Easy drive to downtown Portland and parking all day readily available. No TV - not an issue for us. We were made very welcome and Fran could not have been kinder. Well equipped kitchen, fruit and breakfast basics left for us.
About the Host, Fran
I'm a commercial real estate broker and professional artist, living in Portland for 20 years. I'm working on several projects, short graphic stories, political and social graphics, have three websites.
Focussed on health and a positive attitude, I live a full life, with my creative mind as my guide.

I was told KMC Master Links are compatible on Shimano and found this to be true on XT chain
When I installed a Shimano XTR CN-M980 HG-X 10 Speed Chain on my 2x10 Niner Jet 9 RDO and tried to use the 10-speed KMC Master Link I found the XTR to not take it at all and had the chain skipping through the RD and cassette.
So, KMC Master Link not compatible with Shimano XTR CN-M980 HG-X 10 Speed Chain?
Is there a compatible master link for a Shimano XTR CN-M980 HG-X 10 Speed Chain?

Scarlets v Blues - LV= Cup match preview
Last Updated: 16/11/12 4:31pm
Cardiff Blues have made a total of seven changes to their starting line-up for their trip to face Welsh rivals the Scarlets in the LV= Cup.
The Blues, who will be looking to build on a 22-17 victory over London Wasps in their opening fixture of the competition last week, have made two changes in the backs with Harry Robinson returning on the wing and Rob Lewis getting the nod at scrum-half.
Up front, Andries Pretorius comes in at No.8 to captain the team and is joined in the back row by Thomas Young who starts at openside flanker.
Scarlets head coach Simon Easterby has opted for a blend of youth and experience as he looks to try and bounce back from last weekend's 34-18 defeat at Worcester.
Gareth Maule and Gareth Owen will combine in the centres, while Dan Newton returns from injury to start at fly-half.
New Australian second-rower Jake Ball will make his second start for the club, while Wales U20 stars Kirby Myhill and Samson Lee come into the front row.
Cardiff Blues: Dan Fish, Harry Robinson, Owen Williams, Gavin Evans, Tom James, Gareth Davies, Robert Lewis; Andries Pretorius, Thomas Young, Luke Hamilton, James Down, Macauley Cook, Ryan Harford, Marc Breeze, Sam Hobbs
Replacements: Rhys Williams, Campese Mafu'u, Foa Filise, Cory Hill, Rory Watts-Jones, Lloyd Williams, Ceri Sweeney, Rhys Patchell
Scarlets: Liam Williams, Kristian Phillips, Gareth Maule, Gareth Owen, Andy Fenby, Dan Newton, Rhodri Williams, Shaun Hopkins, Kirby Myhill, Samson Lee, Jake Ball, Johan Snyman, Craig Price, Johnathan Edwards (capt), Kieran Murphy
Replacements: Emyr Phillips, Phil John, Jacobie Adriaanse, Joel Galley, Dan Thomas, Gareth Davies, Aled Thomas, Nick Reynolds

Village life - Kevin Maguire eyes up Dave's barnet
A lettuce leaf disappoints, the Cameron hair mystery, and goodbye Annie
A lettuce leaf disappoints, the Cameron hair mystery, and goodbye Annie
by Kevin Maguire Published
Canoodling with Jerry Hall or being the brother-in-law of the Clash's late, great Joe Strummer is judged insufficient to save the wet lettuce leaf that is Hugo "Surrender" Swire. Tory malcontents wonder aloud whether Surrender, a former Grenadier Guardsman, has Italian blood after the shadow culture secretary failed to put up a fight against Tessa "That'll Do Nicely" Jowell over Berlusconi's ill-gotten gains that may, or may not, have helped buy her home in north London. Surrender is a member of Citizen Dave's elite Brigade of Toffs, an Old Etonian officer class that leaves hand-to-hand combat to infantrymen such as Nigel Evans, who dirtied his hands in the family newsagent's before joining the wrong party. Should Jowell remain at liberty, Citizen Dave risks a mutiny. NCOs grumble that General David Davis would have captured this particular prisoner.
Wailing is heard in Downing Street as Benji Wegg-Prosser rallies to the aid of soulmate "Tiny" Tim Allan over the ex-No 10 staffer's lucrative anti-union work for supermarket giant Asda. Benji, who invited Tiny to his Moscow nuptials to a non-mail-order Russian bride, accuses Tiny's critics of disloyalty in a peculiar perversion of priorities within the people's party. Some 31 Labour MPs at the last count had signed the election maestro Fraser Kemp's hostile early-day motion. I trust Benji is whingeing as Tiny's friend rather than director of the PM's Strategic Chaps Unit, otherwise
Mandy's old bag-carrier risks finding himself named in a motion of his own.
An old Oxford chum of Citizen Dave recalls the Tory One unaccountably weeping buckets at university, turning on the waterworks without notice. I similarly pass on the word in Westminster - what the bewigged would term hearsay - that Dave dyes his hair. I make a note to keep an eye on the progress of tiny grey flecks over his ears.
The disclosure in this slot last week of Alastair Campbell's friendly advice to That'll Do Nicely triggered frenzied weekend accounts of his diversification into the marriage guidance business. Newly separated Jowell's years of air-kissing have paid dividends, however, with countless hacks scribbling more in sorrow than anger. At a lobby briefing one scribe opined: "Whether we like it or not this is damaging to her . . ." We? Like it or not? Pleassse!
Time is to be called on Annie's Bar, the administration committee seeking to turn it into a dry-cleaner's, dressing rooms or - the ultimate indignity - a coffee bar. Shifting Annie's into a depressing, windowless room a few years back and then withdrawing the regular barman have done the trick, with takings halved. A campaign is hatched to save Annie's, but I suspect it'll be one hell of a final farewell before the summer recess.

Although we haven't seen much of Angelina Jolie after the Cannes Film Festival she is apparently still pregnant and still doing interviews.
In a new interview with USA Today, Angie talks about not working for the time being to spend time with the kids before the other two come into their lives. She did not reveal the due date but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that she is gonna give birth any day now. We had the conspiracy theory that she had already given birth because she has been hiding for so long. That's not very Angelina like.
"We've made a point to, both of us, not be working…So we'll be home together with the kids.
"At the same time we're expecting two, we have four, so my focus now is on the four we have," she says.
She then started to gush about her man saying, "I'm very lucky — I'm with a man who makes me feel very sexy pregnant and loves children…In the last few months it's hard for me to pick up the other kids, so he's there to help lift them up to me and things like that.
"He's an extremely hands-on dad with all the kids and really, really supportive," she adds. "Any woman knows that when you're pregnant, if you have a partner who is embracing it with you and excited with you, it makes all the difference. I'm very lucky to have him."
Speaking of Brad, he was spotted at a Radiohead concert in Italy with his buddy Edward Norton. It's unlikely that Angie would let him leave the house if she had given birth so Angie is still probably pregnant. Conspiracy theory shot down!
