In Illustrator CS5 One-on-One: Advanced, author and industry expert Deke McClelland teaches how to take advantage of the wide array of dynamic features in Illustrator CS5. This course demonstrates how to apply these features to paths, groups, and editable text to create professional-quality artwork. The course covers Live Trace, Live Paint, and Live Color, as well as symbols, gradients, exporting, and integration with Photoshop. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this exercise I am going to show you how to do the opposite of what we learned in the previous exercise, that is, how to scale and move an otherwise transform tile patterns independently of their objects. So you don't change the objects, you change the tile patterns instead. I have saved my progress as Green man in circle.ai. And I am going to go ahead and zoom in on this graphic a little bit here. And I will select all the objects on this layer by clicking on the black wedge in the upper left corner of the test shape layer. And now everything is selected.
And I'm going to double-click on the Scale tool, because let's say I want to go ahead and scale my tile pattern at this point. But I don't want to scale the objects. So I'm going to turn off Objects and that's going to automatically turn on Patterns for me. And this is what I should see. I should see all of my tile patterns changed, including inside of the strokes. So inside the circle, along the stroke of the circle, outside in the rectangle as well, all of those items should change. And note that I've applied a scale value of 86%.
Now if you don't see everything changed, I am going to Cancel out here. For example, if your stroke does not scale, then what you need to do is go to your Appearance panel, press Ctrl+ Shift+A, Cmd+Shift+A on the Mac to deselect everything. Press the V key in order to get your black arrow tool. Click on that path outline right there on the circle, and just go ahead and click on the top stroke. Before you do anything else, just make that stroke active, so Illustrator is not confused about whether this stroke is part of the equation or not. Then go back to Layers panel and click on that black wedge in the upper left hand corner of test shape and try again, go over to the Scale tool, double-click on it to bring up the Scale dialog box, turn off Objects, that will automatically turn on Patterns.
Leave Scale Stroke & Effects off for this effect. And I'm applying again a Scale value of 86%. I will click OK. And the same thing can be done with Rotate and Slant as well by the way. So if I grab my Rotate tool, double- click on it to bring up the Rotate dialog box, notice that the Rotate dialog box is remembering that I don't want to rotate the objects and I do want to rotate the Patterns. So it goes ahead and respects the selection of the options inside the other transformation dialog boxes as well.
I will click OK to accept that modification. Another thing you can do is apply the Shear tool, which slants objects inside of Illustrator. So I will go ahead and select that tool from the scale tool flyout menu, then I will double-click on it to bring up the shear dialog box, and you can apply any amount of slant that you want to. A positive value is going to slant everything forward; a negative value is going to slant it backward. Right now we are slanting along the Horizontal axis, but you could change that if you want to. You can even slant along an angled axis.
For example, I am going to say I want to slant along a 30 degree axis, like so. And I might slant a little more than this. I'll take up the slant value to 15 degrees, let's say, click OK. And now let's say I want to move this green guy back into the center of the circle, then I would do that by double-clicking on the Selection tool. And now notice Objects is off, Patterns is on, Preview is on, I am going to have to feel my way through this modification. So I am going to change the vertical value to -60, let's say, I am not exactly sure what I need for this. Actually, we are going to have to go lower with this value.
So I am pressing Shift+Down Arrow in order to scoot that guy up. So it doesn't make that much sense, that negative values scoot things up, but that's the way it works. And then I'll have to change the Horizontal value to a negative value as well to scoot things to the right. So I will try -20, maybe, and press the tab key; that's not enough, so I will press Shift+ Down Arrow in order to scoot him over, like so. And that looks pretty darn good to me. And watch, by the way, to make sure that your stroke moves along with everything else. The thing that you have to bear in mind, as soon as you click OK, if you decide now, gosh, you know what, I want to move this circle independently of the background.
So I'll click off the circle, then I'll click on it to select it, and of course, when I click on it I'm looking for that little black square next to my cursor to show me that's where the path outline is. As soon as I click on it and I start dragging, notice that I will go ahead and move the tile pattern along with the object. And so that totally ruins the alignment between the stroke of the circle in particular, and the background. I will Press Ctrl+Z, Cmd+ Z on a Mac to undo that move. What you need to do is go back into the move dialog box or one of the others. But I will double-click on the Selection tool to bring up the Move dialog box.
And I am just going to change these two values to 0. So just zero everything out, and say that you want to move the Objects and not the Patterns. Notice that Illustrator automatically turned Objects back on, because I dragged inside of the illustration. So any time you perform a manual adjustment, a manual transformation, then you are going to change those objects, just note that. So if you want to change the patterns you have to do it from inside the dialog box. Anyway, I will turn Objects on, turn Patterns off, click OK, that doesn't do anything, because I didn't apply any values. Now though, as soon as I start dragging - and I missed, I will go ahead and try that again.
When I drag that circle to a different location, then the circle moves and the tile patterns do not. And that way I maintain alignment between my various objects and the tile pattern throughout my modifications. And that, my friends, is not only how you master the mind of M.C. Escher, and how you create seamlessly interlocking crazy objects like these, but this is also how you create and use and manipulate tile patterns inside of Illustrator.

Christine M. Irvin4 Stars Out Of 5A lesson about corn and the BibleNovember 5, 2012Christine M. IrvinQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Golden Tassel's Graduation, written by Kay Michaels, is a story about stalks of corn growing in a field. Golden Tassel is the name of one of the stalks. He is the tallest stalk of corn and can see all the others in the field. Some of the others are Minigold, Big Ears and Kernel King.
The four stalks of corn, along with all the others, are in Farmer Kern's field. Their survival is depends on the weather and the care Farmer Kern gives them, and sometimes they feel as though the end is near. But, they look forward to "graduation day" as they dream about their contribution to the harvest.
But it is more than that. It is a story about farming. It is a story about believing in God. It is a story about using what we have and not wasting it.
The author includes different types of corn in the story and tells how each one will be used. Some are for humans to eat, some are for animals to eat, some are to use to make baskets, some to use as fuel, some for corn oil, some to burn in furnaces, and some to use for seed for next year's crops.
There is a black-and-white sketch by Kathy Hoyt at the beginning of every chapter and at the end of nearly all of them.
Isaiah 64:4 is given as a Bible reference for the story: "For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."
What I Like: I like the way the author ties in the many uses of corn as she weaves her story around the stalks growing in the fields.
What I Dislike: Nothing.
Overall Rating: Very good.
Age Appeal: 6-9 years.

Tell us a little about yourself. I have home educated all 4 of my children. This is my first published children's book; it was born out of these homeschooling years and this experience. I am also the creator of a phonics reading game entitled "My Phonics Bingo" which has sold world-wide. My first published work was a poem entitled "My Heroes Aren't in Hollywood" in support of our military in the Iraq War, and published by WND in 2002. I am writing more stories and have several finished. As soon as my publisher says "Send more" I am ready!
What was your motivation behind this project? This story came out of my homeschooling heart as I desired stories with deep values to tell my own children. This is the first one I put on paper and my writing grew from here, more than 10 years ago. I have always been a writer though. My stories come from nature and the rich lessons which God gives to us in all He has created. I hope to combine inspiration, values, and fun with educationally rich stories. I intend "Golden Tassel's Graduation" mostly as a family read aloud. The publisher tags it as a reader for grades 3-6; but any parent best know the ages their kids can absorb real stories with timeless values. You will find a much younger child and the parent/grandparent as well, to love this story.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Foremost, I hope families will come together and find the time to clear for rich family time with a story that will inspire, make them laugh and dream of the best things in this life. Things such as contributing well (to family and community) as they grow up, dealing with fears as they grow, learning to trust God now and for their future. Mixed in are the values & gifts that God gives to us in nature: enjoyment of His world and how to fully utilize the free gifts of His world.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? I found that my children were very blessed by the story and this was my highest honor. Beyond this, the good reviews have grown; such enthusiastic responses that I can only attribute to God's hand in this story. I am hearing what people get out of this story that I never dreamed was 'there'. I cannot take credit for such insights and I give to God the credit due as all of our talents and gifts are from Him and to God the glory is due.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My inspiration has been the life I have had for over 26 years living around the Northern Michigan farms and forests with my 4 children and husband. We have been such a part of nature where we live. God's blessings are so evident all around. It is God who blesses us with the richness of what He has created and who is the source of all that is the best in me, you and your children, and this world.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: My stories come from nature and the rich lessons which God gives to us in all He has created. I wish for children to 'grab' many values in this book. The 'Questions to Consider' at the back of the book will help them, in considering and talking of, the important values included. The story intertwines values such as: not being wasteful, trusting when there is fearful circumstances looming, dreaming of what they will become, finding your purpose in this world to be significant no matter what your talent is....and so much more!

HelloToe: At a glance, I thought it was Cheech offering me some herbal products!
Yup, certainly missing that beanie...
Looks like we'll have to wait for DPreview to incorporate these new Nikon Series to their system, so we can compare the final images along with those of other camers and see for ourselves the differences.
Personally I think Fujifilm's X Series are the best on high ISO performance.
And I very much doubt that there is going to be a camera that is going to beat them. At least up to now in their category, the performace talks by itself.
See the ISO comparison charts:
More of the same friends,...
...more of the same.
powernet: What can you expect from someone who wears a tie like that!
Hahaha, so true man!
Excuse me, impressive you lot say?
Impressive is the ISO performance that comes out of the Fujifulm X100 and X10.
It's f*cking spectacular.
DPreview have their internal applet that allows one to compare final images in columns, just put all the desired cameras toghether in a row, and see the more than clear differences.
Fujifilm's X Series are just simply above normal in ISO performance.
Keep an eye on the queen of england stamp, you'll see the difference in sharpness/focus on high ISO, and the absence of notorious unacceptable grain.
Sincerely, the hardware might be cool, and the specs themselves, but the ISO is more of the same.
Just do the comparison, DPreview's interctive chart applet is just what one needs to compare true final images from different cameras.
As if the lenses were the problem...
It's the S2's Body that is a price issue.
Wider options in lenses, sure, very cool, but, how about lowering the price of that body?
Just like the SIGMA SD1, high price too.

The lies continue to fly as Mike and Briggs dance around each other during the investigation into Juan's disappearance. The two agents soon realize that the job will be too tough to handle on their own, so while Briggs turns to Jakes for some cover, Mike enlists the helps of Paige, whose belief in Briggs's innocence is waning by the minute.
Elsewhere, Charlie's frustration at being abandoned to work the Odin case by herself pushes her closer to Cortes, never suspecting that her new ally has ulterior motives. But while Johnny tries to show support by digging up their old pal Quinn, he may have inadvertently delivered Charlie from one monster into the hands of another.
Meanwhile, when the search for Juan's car leads both Mike and Briggs to a gang of car thieves, the two agents are forced to go undercover on a robbery together. As Mike runs short of trust and Briggs runs out of options, it becomes clear that whoever can get Juan's car first will control the outcome of the investigation. But with both agents jockeying for the upper hand, only one of them can come out ahead...

"Insert Title Here" is an interactive experiment in which you will decide what path to choose, how to react... something innovative which is always nice...
2 comments by Anothink on Jan 20th, 2014
In An Apparently Normal Room you will be trapped in a single room, a white small room with only a single light. A non-visible monitor will talk to you and you will be able to decide what to do, what to say, obey or dissobey. But it's not simple as that. The experiment will put you in a lot of situations, ones will be enjoyable and anothers difficult to decide.
It has been nearly a half-year since the announcement of the game, and finally I'm here with the release! Enjoy this experimental interactive game with multiple endings and issues that make you think for a while. It's a short but impressive game. Thank you to those of you that have supported this game. If you have any problems with the game, tell me.
Plot: You're just a man who participates in a strange experiment. It's a
white room in the middle of nowhere. It has nothing special. A single light illuminates the room. But it's not simple as that.
"Insert Title Here" is an interactive experiment in which you will decide what path to choose, how to react... something innovative which is always nice...
Well, the very high-pitched sound hurts more than it suprises. Too bad, until that it was funny.
I freaking loved this ! Gave me a good laugh xD Check it out on my channel ! Youtube.com
hey can you help me I'm on a mac and i cant download this game
Never again will I have sound on.
Awesome game, it was really funny! If you want to see my reactions, I've made a video on my channel here (with facecam :) Youtube.com
i did a video on this..my channel is daddyhughes111 and will be uploaded soon!

"An innovative, original and entertaining experiment." - I wouldn't say this was any of those things. It's a bunch of badly programmed crap strung together in a way the developer thought was deep or mysterious, but is just boring. There is no point to this. As a programming experiment, I'm sure the developer learned things, but this wasn't worth sharing with the world.

|*Can you make an ordinary running kitchen tap look fab?* This challenge came about following a conversation in a thread with +Megan Huddle (thanks for the inspiration babe!). Whilst on a recent trip to New Zealand, I got my very first 'soft milky water' shot of a stream, and purely by luck. I had no ND filter, no tripod, just good light and a little bridge to lean the camera on. See here - http://goo.gl/Vpz58 I'm now obsessed with trying out this kind of photography wherever I go. I'm searching for streams, waterfalls, beaches, you name it. +Megan Huddle suggested I could make anything look good (uber flattered). .. and so the challenge came about. *A camera, an idea, and a plain old running tap in the kitchen sink.* _Can you make it look fab?_ I think you can. *Work your magic. Show us what you've got.* *Any camera, and setting, any processing.* *It's all open to your imagination and creativity.* Sooooo, why not give it a go? There's no prizes I'm afraid. No rewards. (Unless some super generous sponsor out there wants to throw something in as incentive.) Otherwise, it's all about the *glowing recognition, compliments and praise from your G+ peers.* _Due date: 11:30pm, -Friday 8 December- Saturday 9 December_ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS PUBLIC EVENT! - Apparently one can't invite large numbers of guests to an event (ie big circles), soooo, please feel free to forward this around and get people involved. =)

My colleague Marc Ambinder has a great post on the politics of obesity, writing:
Subsidizing the high cost of healthy eating would allow more people to make the right choices
My colleague Marc Ambinder has a great post on the politics of obesity, writing:
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
For centuries, experts have predicted that machines would make workers obsolete. That moment may finally be arriving. Could that be a good thing?
1. Youngstown, U.S.A.
The end of work is still just a futuristic concept for most of the United States, but it is something like a moment in history for Youngstown, Ohio, one its residents can cite with precision: September 19, 1977.
For much of the 20th century, Youngstown's steel mills delivered such great prosperity that the city was a model of the American dream, boasting a median income and a homeownership rate that were among the nation's highest. But as manufacturing shifted abroad after World War II, Youngstown steel suffered, and on that gray September afternoon in 1977, Youngstown Sheet and Tube announced the shuttering of its Campbell Works mill. Within five years, the city lost 50,000 jobs and $1.3 billion in manufacturing wages. The effect was so severe that a term was coined to describe the fallout: regional depression.
Former Senator Jim Webb is the fifth Democrat to enter the race—and by far the most conservative one.
In a different era's Democratic Party, Jim Webb might be a serious contender for the presidential nomination. He's a war hero and former Navy secretary, but he has been an outspoken opponent of recent military interventions. He's a former senator from Virginia, a purple state. He has a strong populist streak, could appeal to working-class white voters, and might even have crossover appeal from his days as a member of the Reagan administration.
In today's leftward drifting Democratic Party, however, it's hard to see Webb—who declared his candidacy Thursday—getting very far. As surprising as Bernie Sanders's rise in the polls has been, he looks more like the Democratic base than Webb does. The Virginian is progressive on a few major issues, including the military and campaign spending, but he's far to the center or even right on others: He's against affirmative action, supports gun rights, and is a defender of coal. During the George W. Bush administration, Democrats loved to have him as a foil to the White House. It's hard to imagine the national electorate will cotton to him in the same way. Webb's statement essentially saying he had no problem with the Confederate battle flag flying in places like the grounds of the South Carolina capitol may have been the final straw. (At 69, he's also older than Hillary Clinton, whose age has been a topic of debate, though still younger than Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden.)
It wasn't that bad. But it did help me understand why it made people so angry.

As a journalist, I knew I had to investigate for myself, and as a Texan, I knew my findings were fixin' to rile me up.
The last time the labor-participation rate was as low as June 2015 was almost 40 years ago. Who was working and where back then?
As long as you don't look too far into it, Thursday's June jobs report looks like good news: The economy added 223,000 jobs, close to expectations, and the unemployment rate fell again, to 5.3 percent. So far, so good—still a slower recovery than anyone might like, but a recovery nonetheless.
The more concerning signs are hidden beneath the surface. Some people have been sounding the alarm about labor-participation rates for years now—Republicans tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to make them an issue in the 2012 election. But as several analysts have pointed out, the June rate of 62.6 percent is the lowest since October of 1977. The decline is part of a long-term trend, as this graph shows:
Workforce Participation, 1945-Present
I spent a year in Tromsø, Norway, where the "Polar Night" lasts all winter—and where rates of seasonal depression are remarkably low. Here's what I learned about happiness and the wintertime blues.
Located over 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, Tromsø, Norway, is home to extreme light variation between seasons. During the Polar Night, which lasts from November to January, the sun doesn't rise at all. Then the days get progressively longer until the Midnight Sun period, from May to July, when it never sets. After the midnight sun, the days get shorter and shorter again until the Polar Night, and the yearly cycle repeats.
So, perhaps understandably, many people had a hard time relating when I told them I was moving there.
"I could never live there," was the most common response I heard. "That winter would make me so depressed," many added, or "I just get so tired when it's dark out."
But the Polar Night was what drew me to Tromsø in the first place.
Why is one of them Bhutan?
On Wednesday, the United States and Cuba announced that they would reopen embassies in each other's capitals, thus restoring diplomatic relations for the first time since 1961. The agreement doesn't mean that Washington-Havana ties will go back to where they were before Fidel Castro's revolution: Congress still maintains an economic embargo on the island, a policy that's unlikely to change anytime soon. But the re-establishment of embassies, scheduled to occur on July 20, is nonetheless a major breakthrough in the long-acrimonious relationship between the two countries.
According to The New York Times, the overture to Cuba leaves just three countries with which the United States has no diplomatic relations. Two of these are easy enough to guess: Iran and North Korea. Washington severed ties with Tehran in 1980, months after Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy there and took 52 Americans hostage. U.S. ties with North Korea, meanwhile, have been fraught throughout the latter country's existence, and have only grown worse since Kim Jong Un assumed control of the country in 2011.
The meaning of the Confederate flag is best discerned in the words of those who bore it.
This afternoon, in announcing her support for removing the Confederate flag from the capitol grounds, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley asserted that killer Dylann Roof had "a sick and twisted view of the flag" which did not reflect "the people in our state who respect and in many ways revere it." If the governor meant that very few of the flag's supporters believe in mass murder, she is surely right. But on the question of whose view of the Confederate Flag is more twisted, she is almost certainly wrong.
Roof's belief that black life had no purpose beyond subjugation is "sick and twisted" in the exact same manner as the beliefs of those who created the Confederate flag were "sick and twisted." The Confederate flag is directly tied to the Confederate cause, and the Confederate cause was white supremacy. This claim is not the result of revisionism. It does not require reading between the lines. It is the plain meaning of the words of those who bore the Confederate flag across history. These words must never be forgotten. Over the next few months the word "heritage" will be repeatedly invoked. It would be derelict to not examine the exact contents of that heritage.
Can a movie about male strippers be a loud affirmation of feminism? Three Atlantic writers discuss.
Spencer Kornhaber: Magic Mike XXL offers a hint about its politics—yes, it has politics—during the first and perhaps only real moment of conflict in the entire film. It happens when Channing Tatum's Mike suggests to his roadstripping buddies that they retire their sexy-fireman routine and come up with something new. After some resistance, and under the influence of drugs, Joe Manganiello's Big Dick Richie relents, and starts babbling out a grand plan for a bold, fresh set piece.
His idea: a striptease … as a wedding ceremony.
Before proceeding, a word about looking for deeper meaning here. Yes, XXL is a skintastic sequel with a plot as slight as Donald Glover in a Hugh Hefner robe, designed to cool down 4th of July audiences just like ice-cream toppings do to Adam Rodriguez's abs at the film's climax. But it's also groundbreaking. Between the Mike franchise and 50 Shades of Grey, we're watching the formation of a would-be-blockbuster genre, one that celebrates and profits from the sexual appetites of people other than straight men. XXL's big male-entertainer convention may well turn into a source of storytelling conventions once Hollywood's imitation machine revs all the way up.
Shaka Senghor, who spent 19 years in prison for second-degree murder, reflects on what he regards as the basic illogic of how U.S. prisons treat inmates.
ASPEN, Colo.—Shaka Senghor spent 19 years in prison, including four-and-a-half years in solitary confinement, where he was on lockdown in his cell for 22 or 23 hours a day.
On an Aspen Ideas Festival panel on mass incarceration that began with statistics about the high percentage of citizens that the United States locks up relative to other liberal democracies, Senghor gave a personal view of what it was actually like to be one of those inmates. "Basically it was a big warehouse of young energy," he said, "young males who come from broken, dysfunctional backgrounds. Fortunately, I came in with a GED. That gave me the opportunity to learn and study."

The day started well for the Pittsburgh Steelers when Tennessee return man Darius Reynaud brain-farted and gave the Steelers two points on the opening kickoff, but it was all down hill from there. The Steelers looked pretty bad through out the day and ended up losing to the Titans 16-9.While the early season loss would be pretty easy to recover from the loss of All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey will be a lot harder to handle. Early in the game his knee got rolled up on by guard David DeCastro. As luck would have it--bad luck, that is--he suffered an ACL and MCL injury and is out for the season. @cjzero/Twitter

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
As the world's biggest milk processor, New Zealand-based Fonterra Cooperative, seeks 500 million New Zealand dollars (US$410 million) in equity, one of its Australian suppliers is running a similar process.
Tasmania-based Van Diemen's Land Company, or VDL, is in final discussions with three parties to raise up to 110 million Australian dollars (US$113.5 million) of equity and another A$70 million of debt to expand its milk production, the group's chief executive Michael Guerin told Deal Journal Australia.
The final structure of the deal and number of parties chosen is yet to be determined, Mr. Guerin said, adding that Auckland-based Antipodes Capital is advising VDL.
New Zealand's Fonterra Cooperative may have published the prospectus for its 500 million New Zealand dollar (US$410 million) Shareholders Fund on Friday, but joint lead managers Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and UBS have been marketing it to potential investors for a few weeks, according to documents obtained by Deal Journal Australia.
So what are the pros and cons of investing in the world's largest milk processor and exporter of dairy ingredients?
Deutsche Bank head of Australian research, Tim King, and Craigs Investment Partners agriculture analyst Arie Dekker believe that potential M&A activity could provide longer-term upside for investors. "In our view, selective acquisitions targeted in Asia are likely to accelerate execution of the strategy," they said in a note.
Sick of local supermarkets milking their profits, Australia's dairy farmers are looking to China.
Dairy leaders have held discussions with the New South Wales, or NSW, state government and Chinese supermarkets over flying fresh milk directly to Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong in a bid to yield higher prices.
Australian private equity firm Blue Sky has spent 2 million Australian dollars (US$2.1 million) on a significant minority stake in skincare brand Milk & Co. founded by former Australian Olympic swimmer Michael Klim and his wife Lindy.
Mr. Klim, 34-years old, who clinched gold, silver and bronze medals in Olympic outings in Atlanta, Sydney and Athens, launched the company in 2008 as a line of men's skincare products that would mitigate the impacts of chlorine and the often harsh Australian climate.

Ray Allen ready to sacrifice season for a fair deal. Just great.
Sep 23, 2011, 8:37 AM EDT
Remember those heady days a couple of weeks ago when we were optimistic that the level heads would prevail and it seemed like the entire season could be salvaged? Ahhh, the naiveté of youth.
Now, we're getting back to games being cancelled and more strident positions.
Such as Celtics sharp shooter Ray Allen yesterday speaking at his alma mater — the University of Connecticut, what you forgot his 1995 run to the Elite 8? — saying he would be willing to give up an entire season to get a fair deal.
That is saying something — Allen doesn't have a lot of seasons left, and the Celtics championship window is about to close. This is not a team that can afford a year off. Yet Allen is willing to talk about it.
Rashard Lewis — the veteran about to be the second highest paid player in the NBA — said essentially the same thing.
I'm trying to be optimistic people, but it is hard. Very hard.
- drmonkeyarmy - Sep 23, 2011 at 8:59 AM
Honestly, I don't care if the season is cancelled. If it leads to a situation where a financially viable deal is in place to secure the long term health of the league. Things cannot continue the way they have been. The NBA cannot continue to support the current salary structure in place.

Who wouldn't be willing to sacrifice 1 year if it meant a good deal for many more years?

I call bluff. Guys like Allen & Lewis are on the last contracts that will pay them big money. Neither has a chance of recouping these lost wages, no matter how much sweeter a deal gets for the players. They can say whatever they want in an attempt to show unity & strength amongst the players, but they're not stupid. They'll vote yes for the first semi-decent deal owners offer up.

It they don't care (players) then I don't care (fans).

I love how if the owners say they are willing to sacrifice a season you write long winded articles blasting them but when players say the same thing you just causually mention it.
Hmmm, wonder whose side you're on……

TROY, Mich. (AP) — Troy says it's giving layoff notices to 10 police officers because of budget cuts while also seeking to avert the cuts through concessions talks.
The Detroit suburb says the notices issued Tuesday are effective July 8 and says negotiations continue toward a possible concessions agreement with the Troy Police Officers Association. The city says it's seeking a 10 percent concessions agreement by July 1.
Police Chief Gary Mayer tells The Oakland Press of Pontiac he thinks the talks will succeed.
Union President Michael Geise says his group "is actively attempting to negotiate changes" to a contract that expires in July, 2013. He says he's confident the negotiations will produce a deal that averts the layoffs.
The layoff notices are for officers with two to five years on the force.

I still find myself using printed copies purely because I can *much* more easily flip between pages, and can organise the pages on the desk the way I like as I try to follow the argument (and a self printed copy is better than a bound copy here, because the binding restricts the layouts).
I use a ebook reader/printed copies rather than the screen to give my eyes a rest, and a change. The point is that a single format is not the best for every use, so I think the death of the printed book is overhyped and it will just become another media format (and probably a niche one). But books do have some major advantages over the other formats. They don't require any support technology to read, they are stable for a long time , are not as fragile as an ebook screen, and they are cheaper than an ebook reader. All of which may be important to your needs.
Novels, I prefer in ePub/Mobi formats since the reader I have is has a form factor which allows it to fit into a pocket better than the massmarket paperback format. And this is depsite having a screen approximately equal to the pages size, the ebooks thinner form factor work better given the way most pockets are constructed.

There is no reason for the OOXML specification to use date formats based on the old
Microsoft have specified a new on-disk representation which continues to have a madness just to simplify their load/save implementation. The fact that it is due to compatibility with an ancient bug from a competitor is completely irrelevant. They could have specified the OOXML standard to be clean and dealt with any issues in their save/load code, or elsewhere in excel.

The different impedance is sometime enough to trip the collision detection circuitry. Also the drivers are actually low impedance as they deliberately drive current into the cable , and have high impedance detectors.
It's all about the collision detecttion..., I have seen it work though - but you've got to be careful or lucky.

Except that doesn't account for having a method (destructor) which will be called when your variable goes out of scope.
Then you have generic's on top of that.
And in c++0x, auto, lambda and rvalue refs. There a whole lot more to c++ than objects.

What did you investigate? What samba tuning parameters did you try?
Last year I had a very similiar problem, which actullay turned out to be network card driver issue. I upgraded from the stock debian stable kernel to one from testing and the problem went away.
My point is a single example without actually knowing what was investigated - is just a worthless anecdote.
