SE division: Wizards could soar past Hawks
What not to do in NBA free agency
The Wizards have certainly been busy this off-season, but how do they stack up with the other teams in the Southeast Division? Having already analyzed the Charlotts Bobcats, Orlando Magic and the defending champion Miami Heat, we wrap up this update with the truly new look Atlanta Hawks.
Last season: 44-38, second place; Like most recent campaigns, the Hawks finished in the middle of the Eastern Conference pack, this time losing to Indiana in the opening round of the playoffs. Josh Smith's 17.5 points per game led Atlanta in scoring, Al Horford in rebounding (10.2) and Jeff Teague in assists (7.2).
What's new: How about almost everything. Smith took his potent, but frustrating game to the Motor City, signing a four-year, $56 million deal with the Detroit Pistons. Center Zaza Pachulia and guard Devin Harris signed free agent deals with Milwaukee and Dallas respectively. Restricted free agent Jeff Teague is rumored to be joining Pachulia with the Bucks in a swap for Brandon Jennings. If you're wondering why the Bucks of all teams are targeting Atlanta players, its's probably because after coaching the Hawks last season, Larry Drew now is doing that for Milwaukee. The Hawks' front office didn't extend his contract and instead hired former Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer as their new head coach. As for those veterans heading to Atlanta, former Utah Jazz power forward Paul Millsap signed a two-year deal and guard Jared Cunningham came over in a deal with Dallas while perimeter threat Kyle Korver agreed to stick around thanks to a new three-year contract. Via the draft, the Hawks landed German point guard Dennis Schroeder, Brazillian center Lucas Nogueria and Bucknell big man Mike Muscala
Projected 2013-14 lineup: PF Paul Millsap; SF Kyle Korver; C Al Horford; SG Lou Williams; PG TBD; Key reserves G DeShawn Stevenson, G John Jenkins, G Jared Cunningham
Outlook: At this point, who knows. Not only is the Teague-Jennings rumor out there but the Hawks are also reportedly in the hunt for scoring guard Monta Ellis. However, don't expect a reunion with former Milwaukee teammate Jennings should that deal go down seeing as that pairing didn't work so well together the first time. Millsap is a legitimate low-post threat, but his presence also means Horford is stuck playing out of position at center. For now there a gaping holes on the bench, especially in the frontcourt. Schroeder is expected to play in the NBA this season, but Nogueria likely remains overseas for now. Has Atlanta done enough already to keep them in the basic playoff chase? Maybe. Could they fall behind the Wizards in the divisional standings? Perhaps, especially if the Wizards receive good health from their main players and maintain the chemistry they showed during the second half of the season. Does it look like after missing out on Dwight Howard and Chris Paul in free agency general manager Danny Ferry is throwing ideas up against the wall in the hopes of finding some short-term solutions while he covertly rebuilds the team? Yep, pretty much.

More than reasonably priced accomodation
We have not been there yet, I'm writing this after a forum tip.
WE needed to spend a night in Portsmouth in a very tight bidget, I thought it would be expensive because of veing a saturday night.
Through the forum reply plus a members page tip (kevin36), I looked up
the Travelodge and they have rooms on the special offer for £39 the room, and I found it great, especially as it is a saturday night, I thought it would be a lot more.
This price is for a booking in early June, the savers room (non refundable) have prices as little as £19 per room depending on the season, I would think.
The one great thing I found about this is that, unlike many hotels & B&B s in the UK, they charge per room and not per person.
Will do a write up on this when we get back.
Like most Travelodges I have stayed in,they are comfortable and very reasonably priced,one thing to look out for is the super saver roomsyou can get rooms for as little as £15 per night.
I have never had a problem with Travelodges they might not be 5***** but for the price I think they are very good.
The prices are for the room and not per person like some Hotels.
Unique Quality: Reasonable prices,comfortable,and normally with good links to major roads.
Directions: Follow M27 and then M275 towards the north end of Portsmouth town centre and Continental Ferries, at the Rudemore roundabout take second exit into Kingston Crescent. The Travelodge is on the right.

Oh and Fury and Price are undefeated where are their glass jaws???
Fury is a fighting Gypo and he would smash Wilder even with his amazing KO record of knocking out BUMS...
Are you BLACK it would explian so much about your hate
Where is your proof of the more article ****?
Fact is like I said, Wilder has had what maybe 3 or 4 fights on ESPN, and around 4 fights on Foxsports regional broadcasts and not has his first fight on Showtime with Price and you are trying to cry about him being over rated and over hyped, when you had the likes of Mitchell and Jennings headlining HBO cards and NBC Sports cards respectively? LOL.
You are delusional.
Like I said before, I can only think the hate you have for Deontay comes from some sense of jealousy you have with regards to him and how he might match up against you Brit heavies, and it really is irrational.
Did Wlad's comment about him bother you that much?

On almost all PC technology forums, it is hard to escape users talking about what Intel's next processor lineup will be. Due to problems in Intel's 14nm node, Broadwell in both mobile and desktop have been delayed, somewhat substantially in the case of the desktop. So while motherboard manufacturers released their Z97 platform over 6 months ago, we have been waiting for Broadwell to arrive. That day is today, and we can lay the smackdown with some benchmark numbers too.

Facebook password law: Some state employers may no longer force employees to provide passwords
As the calendars turn over to 2013, new laws will be taking effect all over the country.
In Maryland and Maine, gay marriage was passed. And the recreational use of marijuana? That was approved in Colorado and in Washington state.
But wait. There's more -- much more.
Let's start with the laws that take effect Jan. 1, 2013.
In Illinois and California, employers may no longer force their employees to provide their passwords to Facebook and other social media accounts.
The same is true if you are applying for a job in either one of those states.
And speaking of job seeking, in Oregon, employers are no longer allowed to post a job opening, unless they're willing to hire the unemployed.
In Maryland, Arsenic is banned in chicken feed. Why? Well, it's a measure to help protect the Chesapeake Bay from any toxins.
California is now banning any treatment aimed at changing the sexual orientation of someone that is under the age of 18.
So, let's take a look at the lighter side of things.
If you are a shark fan, you're going to like this one: There's a law in Illinois that may help protect that species.
The sale, trade, and possession of shark fins is illegal in Illinois.
In Florida, if you owned a swamp buggy, you no longer have to register it as a motor vehicle. It is no longer declared such in that state.
In Kentucky, it is now illegal to release a wild hog into the wild.
Yep.That's what that law says.
So, in 2013, some folks may be especially happy because they'll get a bump in their paycheck.
Ten states voted to raise their minimum wage in 2013.

I never took Physics but I do know there is a principle in Physics which goes something like this, "For every action there is a reaction." Altering a pant pattern convinces me that it is not Geometry or Algebra but Physics.
I have spent most of this past year's weekends modifying and altering various pants patterns. I have read every post on this site about this subject, as welll as some other websites. And re-read and re-read. I have purchased a few of the recommended books and studied those. I finally figured out what alterations (I am on my third bolt of muslim from Jo-Ann's due to all the experimenting of pant making) would work.
Well, last night I did the Sandra Betzina's "flat butt" alteration which is to cut below the crotch line and lower the upper part of the pattern over the leg portion according to the measurements I pinned out but no more than 3/4 inches should be removed. I also added a tad bit back on the inseam below this alteration - I trued the inseam.
I sewed one leg together and put it on to test. I was thrilled until I sat down and realized that I had lost width from my thigh area. How could that be? A smidgen was lowered and I lost enough thigh width that I knew it wasn't going to work.
I placed my copy over the original pattern and was surprised to see how much the inseam had been narrowed - about 1/2 inch was missing. And this narrowed seam was a few inches long - below where I had trued the inseam.
So for you Physics and math majors out there - can you explain how this "slight" alteration managed to mess up about 5 or 6 inches of my inseam?
It has been written a few times on these boards that one alteration will cause another problem somewhere and last night proved it to me!
Thanks for your insights and responses.
I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm also working on fitting pants. I don't know how many pairs I've made recently & how much stash I've used. I tired of working on the, but I can't seem to stop. I've become obsessed with this! I know I am overly critical too & that has also made me more critical of the fit of RTW.
I'll make a pair of pants that fit pretty good & change 1 thing; but like you said that affects something else! I've read & read my books. And some of the things they say to do just do not work. But I'll just keep trying.......
Sewing Makes Me Happy
SNAP! Same here. I have been drafting mad! Made another draft tonight. On here for a rest. Now wondering if i have changed too much. Will cut it out tomorrow as a muslin. Have a feeling the better fit will be somewhere between this draft and the previus one. Hence halted progress for tonight. Keep going we will get there eventually. Sorry can't explain your physics question. I have to admit i am very much trial & error. And if I do finally manage to get it right , I only hope I remember how I did it! LOL
Here's a tip I read somewhere on this board a while back and I used it with my 3 week muslin fit, tweek, when I had the 'Pants for Real People' book open - adjusting everything accordingly, 'reading the wrinkles' that point to the problem:
safety pins. Those curved ones they sell for quilters. I would pin accurately long seam lines and play until things progressed. Took many times, but at least I wasn't baste stitching and removing all the time. I did use muslin with really big seam allowances. And I pinned, and I scooped crotch (using pins) etc etc. The results weren't perfect, but it did tell me the general issues I needed to know.
One thing I did learn that if you make adjustments - start small. 1/8 in even. Very little changes can make big differences. Pants fitting is draping cloth over an irregular surface so it hangs straight. No mean feat. (To see this, hold up a cloth dishcloth at its corners so that it hangs straight. Now lower one edge 1/8 in and see the diagonal folds. And that's a simple rectangular piece of fabric, pants are complicated.) Good luck! And maybe try Burda pants if you're not.
------'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.' Oscar Wilde
Re-boot this discussion:
Physics majors!
Anyone discovered new Easy alterations for flat butt to make
capris for summer? Prefer half-elastic waist as it's covered anyway, but don't want those extra waist gathers to look poufy.
If I pinch out a bit just below the waist at center back, it takes out the sag, but then how to translate that to the other seams? I need the crotch length for talls.
**Any favorite patterns available locally?
I want some dressier like linen blends, stretch twills, instead of usual denim.
-- Edited on 2/3/14 6:54 AM --
When you slide the top down you're bringing it down to a spot at the inseam/back thigh that's narrower than where it was originally and it's going to be narrower for quite some distance. In other words it's narrowing the back thigh while maintaining the same crotch shape, depth and length.
You wouldn't think you were removing that much width in the thigh when you slide it down but you do!
Translate that?!
LOL, sure.
Think of the shape of the back inseam. You have the crotch point and the inseam has a gradual curve and gets narrower down the leg. The alteration Woggy did takes a wedge out which brings the inseam down to a narrower part of the inseam thus narrowing the back thigh.
Make more sense or as clear as mud?

You have a draw on the battery. Something is staying on. Ck. For any lights or switchs left on, the antenna motor or the trunk pulldown motor and visor lites for starters. Remove battery cable when not using the car. Check the codes by pushing off and warmer buttons on the a/c panel until you see all segments lit release and write the codes down. If you didnt replace the wires there is possible damaged wires. You really need to have the engine scoped. Gl

Lilium candidum
|Lilium candidum
|Scientific classification
|L. candidum
|Binomial name
|Lilium candidum
Lilium candidum (popularly known as the Madonna lily) is a plant in the true lily family. It is native to Greece, the western Balkans and the Middle East, and naturalized in other parts of Europe (France, Italy, Ukraine, etc.) as well as in North Africa, the Canary Islands, Mexico, and other places.[1][2] It forms bulbs at ground level, and unlike other lilies, has a basal rosette of leaves through the winter, which die back in summer. A leafy flower stem, typically up to 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) high, sometimes up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high, emerges in late spring and bears sweetly and headily fragrant flowers in summer. Flowers are white, flushed yellow at the base.[3][4][5][6][7]
It has long been cultivated, but is susceptible to virus diseases of lilies, and to Botrytis fungus. One possible way to avoid problems with viruses is to grow plants raised from seed.
Madonna Lilies in art and culture[edit]
The Madonna lily is often described as being the basis of the fleur de lis,[citation needed] though the shape of this stylised flower more strongly resembles that of a flag iris.
Madonna lilies are depicted in a fresco at the Minoan palace of Knossos.
The Madonna Lily symbolizes purity for Roman Catholics. Medieval depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary often show her holding these flowers.
There are translations of the Bible that identify the Hebrew word Shoshannah as 'lily' in Song of Songs ("As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters." Song of Songs 2:2 (KJV)), not as a rose as is customary to translate. For example, Abraham ibn Ezra describes it as a white flower, which has a good fragrance, and has a six-petal flower and six stamens. But its identity is uncertain, because it does not fit with the description as "the lily of the valleys", because mostly it grows in the mountains. [clarification needed]
The Bible describes King Solomon's Temple as having designs of Madonna lilies on the columns[8] and on the brazen Sea (Laver). [9]
The White Lily was also an indicator of slaves in the early 1850s before the Civil War. One slaver in particular would brand a lily on his slaves so that even if one were to escape they would always be marked and therefore unable to truly escape the chains they were in.[citation needed]
In 1883 the White Lily was used as an indication of racist groups in the deep south, mainly Georgia. This emblem was put over houses and establishments for townsfolk to know what places they could go to and plot the next move against the newly freed black slaves. The Stem Of The White Lily (what the group called itself) organized over 200 lynchings before being put down in a revolt against the Georgia government which was corrupt and full of White Lily sympathizers. This marked an interesting time in the United States after the Civil War. The White Lily was yet another group taking after the steps of the Ku Klux Klan, which had stumbled against abolition years earlier and subsequently started the process in which The White Lily would follow.[citation needed]
Today, while beautiful, the White Lily is still considered a racist emblem in southern states like Georgia, Alabama, and North and South Carolina.[citation needed]

Fast-rising New Orleans rapper Dee-1 stopped by Yahoo! to knock out a top 3 list with Soren Baker and me for The Aftermath Presents. The "Jay 50 Weezy" MC based his list on the Top 3 Rappers With Legacies.
I don't think anyone can argue with his selections that include Chuck D, Will Smith, and Master P.
Additionally, Dee-1 is making moves outside of music. The political activist has been helping promote voting. While in Los Angeles he visited the New Millennium barbershop for a Barack Talk 2012 segment, an effort in conjunction with the League Of Young Voters, Rock The Vote, and Allhiphop.com.

|Mandarin juice at Tomboy – completed with straw
Pia Hambour and Georgina March originally started off as bakers, supplying gluten free goodies to cafes such as De Clieu and Brother Bada Budan. Now you can get their Box Brownies baked goods direct from Tomboy along with a short breakfast and lunch menu which is written up on brown paper hanging from the wall of the cafe.
|The window of Tomboy – stocked with baked goods
The coffee at Tomboy is from Seven Seeds made with a Synessa machine and my latté has lovely caramel undertones with a smooth finish. There's a freshly squeezed juice of the day as well, the mandarin juice is sweet and thick with pulp.
|Egg tacos at Tomboy
The breakfast menu gives a nod to Melbourne's current Mexican obsession with egg tacos ($12.50). The eggs are fried and served on soft tortillas topped with guacamole and kernels of fresh corn.
|Old school speakers are built into the counter at Tomboy
There's an ever changing tart of the day and on our visit it was a creamy tart filled with roasted pumpkin, caramelised onion and fetta ($12.50). The pastry was soft and crumbly and the tart was topped with a tangy rocket salad.
|The tart of the day with pumpkin, fetta and caramelised onions
Although Tomboy has been born out of Box Brownies, the sweet stuff at Tomboy was not as strong as the savoury. There were three different types of brownie on our visit but the chocolate and macadamia brownie I tried was dry and crumbly – I like my brownies fudge. Service is still a little slow but hopefully that will improve as the staff settle in. Despite those two complaints I'm happy to have Tomboy in my 'hood. Sure there's a cafe over supply in the area but the little details at Tomboy set it apart from the other cafes on the strip.

$72.00 for three is pricey? hmm, not quite sure where you go for breakfast in melbourne but $24 pp is perfectly reasonable.

Anon – I struggle with whether to define most Melbourne brekkies as pricey or reasonable. You are right that $24 pp is pretty standard so I look at how much food you actually get for that. I agree though it's a fine line!

First Period of Expansion, 1915-1924
Just what was to be the Federal Council's interest in state and local cooperation? Was it essential that state and local church federations should also be constituted ecclesiastically, by appropriate representation from member units? Or could they continue to be agencies or societies affiliating individual Christians? And was the Federal Council interested primarily in church cooperation for its own sake, or was its main objective favorable social change, including community betterment and the affiliation of all local agencies for its achievement? If its interest covered both these matters, which was to have the priority? Did some leaders regard church cooperation as a more urgent necessity, rather than the purposes to be accomplished by it? If so, what was to be the outcome?
This chapter provides an answer somewhat different from what some might have anticipated, and from what some have thought to be the case. Whether the answer was correct or incorrect is not here the question. Our next query is merely, What actually happened when the Federal Council faced up to the problem of state and local church cooperation?
For state and local cooperation 1915 marked as definitely new a beginning as 1908 did for national interdenominational federation. Each of these dates, coming at the close of a long succession of preparatory events and forces, was distinct in the sequence of American ecumenical developments.
From 1915 to 1924 the Federal Council staff included Dr. Roy B. Guild, a man peculiarly adapted to field promotion, deeply devoted to the cause of church cooperation, and backed by the volunteer services of Fred B. Smith, with whom he had been so closely associated in the Men and Religion Forward Movement. By 1915 also the local and state executives were beginning their annual assembling, a habit carried on almost uninterruptedly until now.
On January 7, 1915, the Federal Council's Administrative Committee made Fred B. Smith chairman of a Special Committee on

This past week, the corporatist front group and bill mill for corporate America, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), held a breakfast gathering for Michigan state legislators. Our friends at Progress Michigan were there and reported that only SIX legislators actually attended. Here is the all-Republican list of attendees:
- Rep. Aric Nesbitt (R-Lawton)
- Rep. Peter Pettalia (R-Presque Isle)
- Rep. Triston Cole (R-Mancelona)
- Rep. Tim Kelly (R-Saginaw)
- Rep. Jim Runestad (R-White Lake)
- Senator Mike Green (R-Mayville)
According to Progess Michigan, Sen. Green and Rep. Nesbitt are Michigan's ALEC co-chairs and were listed on the invitation to the event.
As Progresss Michigan Executive Director Lonnie Scott explains, this is a hopeful sign that the Koch brothers-supported corporate lobby group is experiencing a drop in influence, at least in Michigan:

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a common technique in which a small oscillating perturbation in cell potential is applied to an electrochemical system so as to interrogate the kinetic and transport properties. The Electroanalysis interface is used with a frequency domain study to simulate EIS for a range of electrode reaction rates. Nyquist and Bode plots illustrate the ...
Cyclic Voltammetry at a Macroelectrode in 1D
Cyclic voltammetry is a common analytical electrochemical technique, where the potential at a working electrode is swept over a range and back again while the current is recorded. The current-voltage waveform, referred to as a voltammogram, provides information about the reactivity and mass transport properties of an electrolyte. For large electrodes, the model is simplified to a 1D geometry by ...
