Lake Minnetonka ice is out early
The ice is out on Lake Minnetonka for 2015.
The Freshwater Society and Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol returned to shore this morning and declared the lake to be ice free as of Sunday, April 5 at 10:00 a.m. This is 19 days earlier than 2014.
The median ice-out date for Minnetonka — half the recorded ice-outs have occurred earlier, and half later — is April 14.
Ice-out records on Lake Minnetonka date back to 1855 and are a valuable if inexact method for revealing long term trends. There is no one best way to determine ice-out on lakes. Methods vary from lake to lake so consistency from year to year is what researchers and agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources prefer to see.
The ice-out call for 2015 was made after monitoring the ice from shore and calls to nearby Society members. Once conditions allowed, the Water Patrol began boat trips accompanied by Freshwater Society board members to areas of the lake where significant ice remained.
Deputies Jeremy Gunia and Shawn Eberle with Freshwater Board member Kent Warden concluded it was possible to boat through all the bays and channels of the metro area's largest lake. Lake Minnetonka is just over 14,500 acres in size with 37 bays.
Each year the Freshwater Society holds an annual fundraiser to coincide with the departure of the ice and return of the loons. This year's event is slated for April 23 at CHS Field, the new home of the St. Paul Saints.
For the most recent information follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!
Last year, we declared the ice out on April 24—ten days later than the median date due to the exceptionally cold winter. In the last twenty years, 13 dates have been less than the median date and seven have been later.
The ice-out call for 2014 was made after several days of monitoring the ice from shore by the Freshwater Society and five trips into the lake by the Water Patrol. Tom Skramstad, a Freshwater Board member, accompanied a deputy sheriff on boat trips to the last places on the lake where significant ice had been observed.
On the morning of April 24, the Freshwater Society and the Water Patrol concluded it was possible to boat through all the bays and channels of the metro area's biggest lake. They then declared the ice out for the season.
Check out a year-by-year log of past ice-out dates, and a calendar showing the number of times the ice-out has occurred on specific dates. View the Minnesota Climatology Working Group's listing of ice-out dates for other Minnesota lakes this year.
Ice-out on Lake Minnetonka is a sign of spring that scientists, naturalists and lakeshore residents have been tracking since at least 1855. The late Dick Gray, the lead founder of the Freshwater Society, cataloged the early records and made his own records from 1968 through 2013.
Ice-out has been determined by a number of methods — sometimes when a car placed on the ice fell through or when a boat could travel from Excelsior to Wayzata. Read a 2003 column by Mr. Gray about the history of ice-outs on the lake.

Everyday googlebot requests the robots.txt file, and after that it gets the index file and thats it.
Other bots index my entire site, froogle preditcor looks ok, search engine spider simulators look fine...
Anybody knows what the problem is?
[edited by: Marcia at 4:15 am (utc) on Feb. 9, 2004]
[edit reason] URL not necessary. [/edit]
No errors detected! This Robots.txt validates to the robots exclusion standard!
my robots.txt file is just this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /images/
What my concern is, that only googlebot seems to be having problems with indexing my site.
I think if you get more links pointing at your site (and at deep pages, rather than just the index page) your site should get more pages crawled more frequently.
This site got only the index.html spidered. Another site that was launched just about a month before, was expanded with about 50 pages, and got completely indexed over the weekend.
I think Google has sharpened the rules of getting in the index - maybe storage/analysis capacity starting to play a role? Maybe it won't even fully index sites if they don't have more than, say, about 10 backlinks from different sites?
Some of my sites do not have a robots.txt file but some do and they've all been validated ok.
This has been going on for aprox. the past 4 - 5 weeks.
22.214.171.124 - - [09/Feb/2004:01:45:49 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 26432 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"
I did notice that msnbot, openbot and Turnitinbot were all on the site last night and all indexed some pages. Could they have had anything to do with Googlebot leaving?
Can anyone interpret the above code? It appeared twice during the night.
Same thing happens here on a new domain, but it *should* request more files (links from withing the document). I checked the error log, but Gbot did request the file correctly so the server/site shouldn't be the problem.
Just 2 request robots.txt and index..
inktomisearch.com does the same aswell.. :(
It grabbed my index page and Sitemap only.
Here's hoping for a deep crawl sooner than later
Gbot comes to my index page once a day and deep crawls once a month, usually a week before any major update - just changed recently. This has been happening since October. However I've also noticed the index page is returning a 304 status (not modified since)and assumed this was the reason for the lack of gbot activity.
Anyway just changed my index and added 100 or so pages so I'm hoping freshbot will be along in the next few days.
Can only wait and see. ;)
I'd think the call for your site map's a good sign.. :-)
Mebbe Gbot will be back now that it shows a site map in it's doc. batrrels for the site, and one that hasn't been followed at that...
Adding a PR7 link to the sitemap led to it being indexed, but it doesn't show up in the SERPs yet. Still, it should have spidered more links from the sitemap by now.
Older sites are getting deepcrawled allright, so it's either a problem with new sites, or some adjustment in the bot NOT to deepspider new sites unless they meet certain terms (e.g. mucho links :) ).

Check This out.
I am getting the same thing on my site. I submitted to Google about 6-8 weeks ago. It does the same thing everytime it comes to my site; goes to robots.txt then to the home pages and then leaves. It does this process, sometimes multiple times per day.

The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence
Set in the rural midlands of England, The Rainbow revolves around three generations of the Brangwen family over a period of more than sixty years, setting them against the emergence of modern England. When Tom Brangwen marries a Polish widow and adopts her daughter as his own, he is unprepared for the conflict and passion that erupt. Suffused with biblical imagery, The Rainbow addresses searching human issues in a setting of precise and vivid detail.

The room was as expected, average decor,comfy bed with all the necessary ameanities for a 2 night stay.
The room was good value as we paid the non cancellation fee price.
We stay in a room at the front of the building, the window in the room could not be opened due to health and safety.There was air con, but sometimes, only fresh air will do, it was really hot and stuffy.
Sadly there was a small army in the room above us and the floorboards creak every time they moved around the room.Luckily we weren't in the room for long periods to complain as we were stopping here for a wedding celebration and were out most of the time.Not a lot you can do about creaky floor boards!
Great location for the Wine House, Ma Ma Thai, Walkabout and we even had a stroll to the Cathedral.

Returned to the George again as it is consistent and suits our needs. This hotel is central with good access to shops, pubs restaurants etc. Car parking is free though often very busy at weekends - usually manage to squeeze in somewhere.
Room (27) was clean and well appointed - very comfy bed. Unfortunately shower didn't warm up very much - reported to Reception.
As this hotel is central to all the pubs etc, there is always the possibility of late night noise and sadly on this occasion we were awakened at 2am by screaming and shouting in a nearby alleyway - so be aware!
However will definitely return to this hotel in the future. less

Doing the same thing..sticking to halo until this thing is fixed (which may not even happen)
Definitely frustrating when having a 2.20 KD in BO1 & MW3 and then going to a .90 in BO2 .
It's sad yet again people who have good connection n pay good money for it get penalized for it yet again
I have the EXACT same numbers as you. Dropped severely
Holy **** OP really needs a job, sits there typing out a freaking speech and probably think he's the **** and badass, well no your not, your more broken then the game is. NOW PICK UP THE FREAKING PIECES!
That's a complete non-sequitur.
If I bought a washing machine and it didn't work because of a mechanical fault, of course I would return it and have it exchanged, under the Sale Of Goods Act.
A computer game is no comparison - it has no moving or mechanical parts.
MS/Treyarch spend the revenue generated from game sales, advertising, etc. on whatever they please. Just say they invest in better servers - something the game relies on, but something the customer will never own. We merely own the disc, which works fine, so there would be no reason to expect a refund for the disc, unless the disc was damaged when you opened the box or similar.
Your connection is probably overkill for xbox live gameplay.
Nobody is at a disadvantage if the playing field is level for all.
Sorry for anyone who feels that they have lost their "advantage" but hey, now you know what it feels like to be on the receivng end!
Pay to Win should not dictate the pace of the industry to the entire community, although I bet the game manufacturers and ISP's are loving it - people with more money than sense holding non-essentials in higher regard than the more important things in life....

The problem with how lag comp. has been implemented in the last 2 games is that it does not make a level playing field for all. It puts some players on a level playing field and puts others 1 or 2 seconds behind everyone else which is no where near a level playing field or even fair to them.
If lag comp. did put every one on a truly level playing field then there would be no issues what so ever. Unfortunately that is not the case.
i dont understand why im 1-2seconds behind people smh 20mbps isn't even close to a good connection.
This is exactly my situation the lag comp or something from MW3 and BO2 is killing me, I have pretty decent Internet (~24 down, ~3.5 up) and I'm not looking for an advantage, I just don't want to be at a disadvantage. From a business perspective, I would think that if you had to choose who to put at a disadvantage, I don't think I would choose the people who are able to afford better Internet, as they are the ones who are a surer bet to buy all the DLC's.
The last 2 games shouldn't even enter this discussion, unless you are talking about "lessons learned" from the previous titles - in which case start a new thread!
The point is, the current lag situation is the same for everybody because it is relative to the servers, not the individuals broadband speed - that seems fairly evident from the quantity of people here moaning about how brilliant their internet is, yet they all suffer the same lag problems...
I think it could be improved on, but lag comp can help to remove the false illusion that is, in order to compete, one needs a great internet speed and equipment.

NOAA's National Climatic Data Center announced that last month was the warmest September on record for the planet. If the surface temperature remains elevated at the same level for the remainder of the year, 2014 will set a new record for the warmest annual average temperature since records began in 1880.
Last September's widespread flooding in northeast Colorado, which saw just over 17 inches of rain in one week in the city of Boulder, was not made more likely or more intense by the influence of human-induced climate change on atmospheric moisture.
The annual minimum was 5.02 million square kilometers (1.94 million square miles), making 2014 the sixth smallest extent in the satellite era, which began in 1979.
Temperature extremes have been pretty unusual across the United States so far in 2014. Looking back over this time period quickly reveals at least part of what was going on: the polar jet stream got into a serious rut.
It's the time of year for potentially toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie. But the stage for most blooms is set in spring.
Never in the historical record have such large areas of the country experienced such radically different temperature extremes as they have so far in 2014.
Earth's hottest periods occurred before humans existed. Those ancient climates would have been like nothing our species has ever seen.
Through June, the eastern Pacific was warmer than average, but the lack of a strong gradient in sea surface temperature anomalies between the eastern and western Pacific may have kept the atmosphere from getting in sync with the developing El Niño.
For the billions of people in Asia who depend on the Indian Monsoon for the majority of their yearly rainfall, the precise location where the Pacific warms during El Niño may be the difference between a relatively normal year and a devastating drought.
Last summer, climate conditions were primed to deliver an above-average—possibly very active—hurricane season in the Atlantic. And then...? The 2013 Atlantic Hurricane season produced the fewest number of hurricanes since 1982. What happened?

Around the league, and even within Cavaliers circles, there seems to be an image of Dion Waiters– the incorrigible, selfish gunner– that, while based on bad tendencies, is completely overblown.
It all started when Waiters got picked 4th overall in the draft, much to the chagrin of NBA fans. People have blasted his low shooting splits, basketball IQ, draft position, ball-dominant style, defense, and questionable fit with Kyrie Irving since day 1.
While he still falls asleep on defense, can hold the ball for too long, could raise his free throw percentage, and become a better off-ball player, he has made significant strides and doesn't deserve nearly the amount of criticism he receives.
There also seems to be this idea that Waiters is the root of the Cavs' problems. That somehow trading Waiters will solve the dearth of talent on the team. Or getting rid of him will add adequate basketball tactics to Mike Brown's mind.
I love Waiters' game, and because of that I took it upon myself to debunk the Dion-hate that runs rampant around the NBA blogosphere.
The most popular Waiters criticism is the idea that he's an unconscionable gunner who just launches errant 20-footers.
While he shoots a good deal of mid-range jumpers, he's actually pretty decent at it.
Last season Waiters shot 40.1% from mid-range– ranking 44th among the 88 guards who shot 100 times from that distance. This season, he's raised that mark to 43.1%.
The most impressive improvement has been Waiters' three-point shooting, which has jumped from 31% to 36.6%– essentially a jump from "leave that guy alone" to "need to get a hand in his face".
These aren't flukey numbers. Waiters has become a better shooter by correcting his form, and controlling his body better on shot attempts. Last season he would fade, and it often looked like his legs, torso, and arms were each trying to execute a different type of shot; this season, while his jumper can still improve, and needs to be more consistent, its been a much more fluid motion.
Of the 108 players who've played 20 or more games, attempting three catch-and-shoot attempts per game, Waiters is 29th with a 59.2 eFG%– 0.2% behind Klay Thompson.
His worst outside shooting stat is his pull-up jump shooting, where he ranks 58th of 84 players who've played 20 or more games and attempt three or more jump shots per game.
At age 22, he is a below-average pull-up shooter and an above average set-shooter. Once he commits himself to his shooting fundamentals he often abandons when he goes off-the-dribble, his jump shooting will sky-rocket as well. There is nothing egregious about his shooting.
Player A: 38.7% eFG on jump shots; 59.5% eFG on catch-and-shoot
Player B: 37.8% eFG on jump shots; 56.4% eFG on catch-and-shoot
Player A is Waiters; Player B is Bradley Beal. As a shooter, Waiters has been unequivocally better than Beal this season. Not so bad for a second-year pro.
As far as "long, errant 2s" go, I think he's doing pretty well for himself. Right now, he's ranked 7th of 34 guards who have attempted 100 shots between 16-24 feet in shooting percentage at 45.5%– one spot above Tony Parker. Hate on long 2s all you want, hate on him taking long 2s, but just understand he is really good at long 2s.
The difference between Waiters and the average guard is Waiters' free throw shooting (67.6%, down from 74.6% last season) and finishing ability (35.4% on drives; 46% in restricted area; 23% on other paint attempts).
While his long-2s still garner most of the hate, his poor shooting percentage at the rim has killed his field goal percentage and opened up his driving game to a great deal of hate, too.
Waiters is 14th in drives per game this season, at 7.4. He's third (or fourth, depending on how you view the Eric Bledsoe/Goran Dragic duo) amongst all shooting guards.
His 35.4% shooting on drives ties him with Luol Deng (WTF?!?!? Not even getting into this…) at 107th of 117 players who have driven at least 90 times this season, and logged at least 25 games.
Even worse, his shooting percentage in the restricted area has gone down from 50.9% to 46% since last season.
This is where our analysis of his game usually stops, which results in a lazy interpretation of Neon Dion.
The Cavaliers' front court has managed to dodge blame for Waiters' poor percentage, and high turnover rate. Justice needs to be served.
Here's a quick summary of what's going on in their front court:
Tristan Thompson can't shoot. His change to the right hand was great. The fact he has something more than a push-shot, he is hitting his free throws at a higher clip, and his growing comfort with his awkward jumper are all huge pluses. Still, he's far from average, and I think his smile and work-ethic somehow convinced people he's a good shooter.
For one, people don't guard him on mid-range shots. Secondly, he's not a good mid-range shooter. That's really all there is to say.
His front court mate, Anderson Varejao, has been lights out from mid-range (45.3%– tops among centers who've attempted 75 mid-range jumpers). Despite that, he is still visibly reluctant to let it fly, and teams don't respect his jumper the same way they would a jumper coming from David West, someone shooting slightly worse than Varejao from mid-range. Some of this has to do with Varejao's limited range, some of it is lack of fluidity, some of it is his track-record, and some of it is his own visible insecurity about his shot.
The two-headed monster of Earl Clark and Alonzo Gee were no help at small forward. While Luol Deng is an upgrade over those two, he's still a sub-par shooter.
Obviously Bynum did not help as a shooter; Zeller is solid, but his shooting ability hasn't commanded respect because in the short minutes he's logged, he hasn't aggressively pursued his opportunities– often times he won't even look at the basket when he's uncovered from 17 feet.
(Anthony Bennett… I will not speak on him. He's been doing well recently! Progress!)
The closest thing the Cavs have had to a front court player who can legitimately stretch the floor was Clark when he got hot for a couple weeks in December. For a while he was sitting at +40% from deep, and that helped ignite the bench. Mike Brown, being the rotation virtuoso we all love, moved him to starting small forward, and it all turned to ashes. Clark's 34.8% from three and 37.4% overall shooting from the field is all that remain from the golden age of the Cavaliers post-LeBron era.
The Cavaliers have the worst front court shooting of any team in the NBA, period.
Because they are the Cavaliers, that's not the only reason their front court has provided the worst spacing of any team in the NBA.
There is a good amount of dangerous front court players who can't shoot, but make up for their deficiencies as a shooter with ball-handling, passing, post-play, athleticism, and/or basic court-vision. Blake Griffin and Josh Smith (when he's aggressive, and playing like the Smith we love) are great examples of mediocre (Smith's case atrocious) outside shooter who can create space for teammates by penetrating, drawing double-teams in the post, and pushing the ball in transition– not many defenses can successfully contain the opposing 4-man going coast-to-coast without being forced into an ugly mismatch.
(It should also be noted that non-shooters typically, and ideally, play next to guys who can shoot.)
Thompson, Clark, Bennett, Gee, Zeller, and Bynum have not exhibited any talent to leverage poor shooting. Deng has even seemed a bit confounded by the lack of fluidity and spacing, which has yielded meh results.
Varejao is really good at creating off the bounce, and seeing the floor. But he's the only front court player whose overall output has consistently augmented the success of other players on the floor. Because of that, Varejao and Waiters have actually formed a very formidable duo– posting a whopping (by Cavs standards) 3.6 net rating. Varejao compliments everyone, but his two-man game with Waiters is one of the few things this team produces that can be fun to watch.
This is the same spacing, by the way, that contributed to Bynum, who was almost headed to China, basically saying "screw making $6.5 million and being able to showcase my talent for the rest of the year, I can't take this shit anymore", going rogue, and razing his relationship with the team in a few short months.
These are the players who are supposed to supplement Waiters' talents!
To highlight how bad these front court guys have been, this team's best front court player for chemistry purposes since Kyrie joining the team, other than Varejao, has been Luke Walton. Waiters, Kyrie, everyone was significantly better with him on the floor playing power forward, simply because he knew what he was doing. HE'S LUKE WALTON! HE'S NOT EVEN IN THE LEAGUE! HE WAS PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR HIS COACHING CAREER DURING THE LOCKOUT BECAUSE HE WAS SO BAD! YET, HE LOOKED LIKE A GOD-SEND COMPARED TO THOMPSON! THAT'S HOW POORLY CLARK, THOMPSON, BYNUM, AND GEE FIT WITH THIS TEAM'S STRENGHTS!
Excuse me, got kinda carried away there.
Of the top-50 players in drives per game (Waiters ranks 14th), he is 37th in field goal attempts inside of 8-feet per game. This is indicative of three things: 1. he's not forcing shots in the paint; 2. he's cognizant of his poor shooting; 3. he's passing the ball when he gets into the lane way more than the average shooting guard.
Eleven of the thirteen players behind him in the stat I just mentioned– Jameer Nelson, Mario Chalmers, Ricky Rubio, Stephen Curry, Raymond Felton, Kyle Lowry, Chris Paul, D.J. Augustin, Jordan Crawford, Will Bynum, Trey Burke, Deron Williams, Paul Pierce– are pass-first point guards. That's the type of penetrator he's been this season– a poor finisher who has become reluctant to finish the majority of his drives.
The problem for Waiters is as much his questionable decision-making as it is him playing with the worst crop of big man finishers in the league.
Thompson's 51.4% shooting in the restricted area ranks 55th of 56 forwards with 80+ attempts from there on the season; Anderson Varejao ranks 21st of 24 centers who've attempted 80+ in the restricted area, with a conversion rate of 54.9%.
Basically, when Waiters drives, gets into the teeth of the defense, and makes the adjustment to pass instead of taking a low-percentage attempt, his dump-off options are the worst in the NBA.
His kick-out options have been pretty awful as well, for the most part.
Kyrie has been awful off the catch, shooting 30.3% from three– worse than Kawhi Leonard, slightly better than Draymond Green; Deng's at 28.6%; there is no point in even mentioning Clark, Bennett, and Gee here.
The only reliable set-shooters surrounding him have been C.J. Miles, Jarrett Jack, and Matthew Dellavedova. The problem with Jack is he takes the ball out of Waiters' hands, and given the way he plays, it's obvious he laments playing off-ball.
Since Dellavedova seldom plays at all, especially in lineups with Waiters and without Jack, Miles has been the lone guy consistently camping out on the perimeter, allowing Waiters do what he does best. But more on this guard fiasco later…
There are things Waiters could do to improve his conversion rate in the paint, and become an overall more efficient driver. The biggest, and simplest improvement would be strengthening his left-hand finishing. The more advanced improvements would be starting to use more jump stops and pump fakes, and adding a good floater (his current one is pretty awful). He would also benefit from probing. These are some things Ty Lawson and other guards operating in compromised space do to thwart their team's shortcomings. These things come with time, though. That's why it's ludicrous to blame Waiters for not possessing these qualities. He turned 22-years old two months ago!
Maybe, instead of blaming him for not having the artifice of a veteran who has been navigating seas of intelligent defenses for years under tutelage of top-notch coaches and veterans, we should take a gander at his surroundings.
Any player, especially one in his second year, is generally as good as his context allows him to be. In this context, from a pure talent standpoint, there is no wonder why Waiters is struggling.
Eric Bledsoe is a guy who was in a situation much like Waiters' last season. Just by getting out of Vinny Del Negro's hideous, crunched offense, and moving to an up-tempo, outside shooting team, Bledsoe improved his shooting <8ft by 11% in one season. That's not to undermine any hard work Bledsoe did over summer to improve his game, but that big of a statistical jump is at least partially due to the change in strategy and personnel.
It's very possible Waiters saw his shooting percentage decrease by virtue of losing Walton and, as much as it pains me to say this… *sigh* Byron Scott. Kyrie has experienced a similar drop-off in paint efficiency from year-to year: 55.9% in 11-12; 52.5% in 12-13; and 51.9% this season. His overall shooting percentages have dropped, too (46.9 to 45.2, 42.6). This is in all likelihood a result of supplanting Thompson for Antawn Jamison, and Brown for Scott.
Since his name is in my mouth, it's about time I factor in the inscrutable Mike Brown who adds his own unique elements to drag Waiters down on a team, that in the eyes of a penetrator, looks like the result of a nefarious underground drag racing league in Atlanta during winter.
I mentioned two reliable set-shooters– Miles and Dellavedova– who are willing to play off of Waiters. Those are his ideal wing mates. Two guys who don't need the ball in their hands to be effective, who can spread the floor for him, and knock down open shots on kick-out opportunities.
In the time Waiters has spent on the court with Dellavedova, the team has a +7.7 net rating; in the time Waiters spends with Miles, the team has a +6.6 net rating; when all three share the floor, the team has a +33.6 net rating.
The problem is Coach Brown has played those lineups for 321, 203, and 58 minutes respectively.
The aggregate total of those lineups still falls 89 minutes short of the amount of time the Waiters-Jack pairing has played this season. A lineup that has recorded a -3.9 net rating, and is only so high because of the times Waiters says "screw you" to Jack, takes the decision-making duties over, and forces Jack to play off of him.
The point is, although the Cavs don't have many guys to augment Waiters' abilities, they still exist. They just don't play. The fact that Jack plays over them confounds me to this day, but that's Brown logic.
His inability to structure a rotation, design sets, and control a locker room has lead to the idea that's now synonymous with the Cavaliers– that Irving and Waiters can't play together.
Irving and Waiters
There exists this idea that Irving and Waiters will never be able to work together because they are both ball-dominant players.
While there is typically a struggle for both of them to gain a rhythm playing next to each other, this chemistry problem has been completely overblown.
I would like to tell you a love story about two guys who met in Phoenix. One is named Dragic, the other Bledsoe. People didn't know how they would mesh; both are ball-dominant, slashing point guards! It'll never work! But with a touch of Disney magic by Phoenix coaching, the pairing is taking the league by storm.
First, the Suns did staggered their minutes– allowing each player to command his own units for nice chunks of the game.
The second thing they did was implement a run-n-gun system, and filled the roster with players who fit a full court style of play. This allowed Dragic and Bledsoe, two open court, slashing players, to not spend too much time in typical half court settings that would force one of them to act as more of a traditional shooting guard. This is also the easiest way to get easy looks for guys who are fantastic in transition, with a full head of steam, attacking the basket.
The third thing they did was ensure 4/5 players on the court could shoot the ball! Slashers need space! The Suns gave each of them breathing room so they could comfortably do what they do best.
Right now, the Cavs are staggering minutes, and that's it.
Staggering their minutes was the first step in learning how to use both of these players on the same team. You can look at that as "they can't play together, and the longer they are on their own, the better" or you can see it as a team keeping one legitimate playmaker on the court at all times. The Bulls did it with Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan; the Heat do it with Wade and LeBron; the Warriors get grilled for not doing it with Andre Iguodala and Stephen Curry; the Suns do it with Dragic and Bledsoe. The list goes on.
Allowing each player to get hot, handle the ball, and be the guy with respective units is not only a great way to get each player into a rhythm, it's also proven to be the smartest way to win games for a team with multiple ball-dominant playmakers. It's been done before. It's probably going to be done again.
The Cavs absolutely struck out when it comes to pushing the tempo. The dearth outside shooting, and lack of floor spacing of any kind surrounding the two has hurt their on-court production tremendously.
These are two simple changes that would improve their chemistry immediately, and they have nothing to do with either player.
If Kyrie ever raises his catch-and-shoot efficiency out of the gutter, this duo could be lethal. Since he is 21-years old, and an extremely talented shooter, my money is on him learning how to shoot with time to get his feet set. Right now, Waiters has proven to do that better than most players in this league. If Kyrie can reciprocate, Chris Grant's dream might become a reality.
The funniest part about all of this is this duo, as flawed as this situation is, is that it has actually proven to be good recently, contrary to popular belief.
Since the Bynum departure, the Cavaliers are a net -7.2; Kyrie-Waiters lineups are a net -3.9 in 269 minutes together over the same span of time. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been better with Kyrie and Dion on the floor. Yes, as in they are a more productive team when Kyrie and Waiters share the floor.
There is certainly a correlation in their on-court chemistry to the rise in time spent with Varejao, the offensive focus panning away from force-feeds to the post, the general improvement Kyrie made after his early season slump, and Dion's improvements as a shooter.
An even better statistic: the team has posted a +12.7(!!!) net rating in the 67 minutes Kyrie-Waiters-Miles have shared the floor; the 4-man group of Kyrie-Waiters-Miles-Varejao has posted a +34.3 net rating in 48 minutes! These are the optimal lineups that feature a legitimate, set-shooting, non ball-dominant wing, and heady big man to compliment Irving and Waiters! And they have been wildly successful! I understand this a very small sample size, but this has to give Cavs fans hope; it works logically, and has worked on paper.
But back to strictly Waiters and Kyrie. These guys have actually managed to play really well together, especially on the offensive end– where everyone rips them. They have mustered a 105.6 offensive rating in those 269 minutes, which would make them the ninth most efficient offense in the league. Unfortunately, they have surrendered a 109.5 defensive rating– well below the worst defense in the league.
Defensively, they both have a long way to go. They have both improved, however, and it's not strange for young guards to struggle on that end of the floor. It certainly doesn't help the two when nobody on the team plays transition defense, Waiters logs minutes at small forward, Jack plays, and the best rim-protector on the team is mediocre at best.
The two players still have a lot of kinks to work out together. By no means are they flawless little offensive angels, but doling the brunt of current Cavs pessimism, and pessimism about this team's future, on the duo's chemistry issues is a bit inane.
If you think their recent success has been flukey, you still have to expect them to build some sort of potential together, right? They are 22, and 21-years old respectively!… Forced to play under Mike Brown (for the next x-many games)!
Still, the hate lives on. There are still people who think the Cavs blew the fourth pick in the draft by selecting Waiters.
If you eliminate Drummond, who nobody was touching in the top-5 because of the variety of red flags surrounding him during the pre-draft process, Waiters was clearly the best player they could have chosen.
Lillard has been the most impactful, but there is no world where the Cavs draft him and play him behind Kyrie, given the holes on that roster coming into the draft.
Who should they have drafted over Waiters? Harrison Barnes? Terrence Ross? Thomas Robinson? Austin Rivers? Any argument suggesting the Cavs should have taken a different player with this pick, other than Drummond, is completely vacuous. In a re-draft, the latest Waiters goes is number five. He's proven to have, without a doubt, the best combination of talent and potential of any player chosen in the draft not named Beal (I personally think Waiters is better, but understand and respect the case for Beal), Drummond, Lillard (there is an argument that Waiters has more potential), and Anthony Davis.
Yet, to quote Jim Lahey, because Waiters was a surprise pick, and is caught in the perfect shit storm in shitville, all of his struggles and deficiencies are magnified.
He has plenty of things to clean up. His ability to finish, while not aided by his surroundings, needs to improve; he can get better as a shooter; he's turnover-prone; his body language is poor; the ball sticks in his hands too much; and he needs to get better, and become consistent defensively off the ball (his on-ball defense still needs to improve, but isn't nearly as bad).
The guy is 22-years old in his second season, playing for the most dysfunctional franchise in the league, and he makes his team better whenever he steps on the court. At the end of the day, that's the most important thing about him. That seems to get lost amongst the fervent, league-wide criticism of his game.
Maybe we should take a second before we write his narrative.

|Well Meant Discrimination
A character tries to be accepting to character who is a minority, but ends up offending themMotion To Discard
A character becomes aquatinted with a person who is a minority (different race, gender, sexual preference, disabled, etc.) The character wants to be accepting but they end up using Positive Discrimination or Political Correctness Gone Mad. The other character ends up noticing and gets offended because they just want to be treated like everyone else. A popular variation involves a disabled character being irritated about being treated like they are helpless when they aren't. Television
- Played with in Community, where after being forced to re-hug over and over again and say "To meet Different People!", the african american breaks down and shouts, "STOP SAYING I'M DIFFERENT!"
- Brian often utilizes a particularly painful attempt of this in Family Guy, trying to hide his awkwardness to an African Americans by constantly praising Martin Luther King and using patronising slang ("Why do you have to put a brother down like that?"). Surprisingly inverted in one case where he actually impresses a black woman he is trying to hook up with by suggesting to change the name of James Woods High School to Martin Luther King.

Adorable, but toe squishers
"I wear heels every day, and I try to get shoes that are comfortable so I can keep up with my friends in their flats. These shoes are great, and I can walk in them, but my feet slide down and my toes get squished in the peeptoe.Every couple minutes I have to adjust my shoe, and they might work better if I put some some sort of toe petal in."

Glove Softness
"This shoe is glove soft and is comfort to your feet. The design allows for it to fit comfortably despite it's heel height. If you have a medium width foot, it may be a little snug in the toe area but after wearing a couple of times the leather gives to accommodate."

Super Comfy and Gorgeous!
"I got these on a whim and they are my new favorite shoe! They fit true to size and are great for wide feet (I don't get the rubbing on the toes I normally get). And they are so comfortable. For a higher heel, I have worn them all day to work, walking around the city, etc., and I haven't once had the urge to flip them off my feet. They look fantastic with business suits, slinky dresses, and jeans. Very versatile. I would strongly recommend them!"

Best Corporate-Sponsored Beach (2009)
Water Taxi Beach
We already thought the Water Taxi Beach in Long Island City was cool—who doesn't love an excuse to lounge with a cocktail under the sun and feel like you actually made it out of the city for once, even if you didn't? But let's face it, Queens can be a schlep. So to further simplify New Yorkers' imaginary tropical non-escape, the overachieving ferry company Water Taxi painted its yellow and black insignia on another few piles of imported sand this summer. In addition to the LIC campus, South Street Seaport and Governors Island were two new locales where the California-dreamin' got to lay their beach towels down and ogle the bikini-clad while nibbling on soy dogs and watermelon and catching music acts like metal Bee Gees tribute band Tragedy and Erykah Badu. Jones Beach? Too far. Coney Island? Too dirty. Jersey Shore? Too Jersey. But give us a few cramped feet of fake beach sponsored by a corporation and probably laced with subliminal messages encouraging us to ride more ferries, and we are so there.

HALP with kennel/room organization
for starters, this entire thing started because i feel that my current kennel is too small for the Miniderp. she cant stretch out in it and it just looks so cramped. her head touches the top :C so the next size up is the 30" tall and 42" long which is bloody gigantic, and now im freaking out how to arrange my room because holy crap stuff. i have a 6 ft tall HDX home depot shelving unit right now, like 3 feet wide and 25" deep, it holds my clothes, misc things like shampoos and dog product, all my food, dishes, crock pot, etc etc. (i rent a room so everything i own stays in this room)
the pile of luggages in the corner holds everything else i dont really use, and i end up with crap all over the room on the floor because theres nowhere else to put it. dirty clothes, dog food bin, space heater, papers, laptop, shoes, bag, groceries before i put them away, etc. it takes up like half the available floorspace and thats DOGGIE PLAY AREA D:
the current Miniderp kennel has a piece of deskboard (from a broken down desk i stole bits from) on top of it that has my laptop, water, plants, basically a nightstand for when im on my bed and need a surface within reach.
i need space ideas that maximize floor area but that still allow all my crap to stay in the room (dont trust the security of the garage or trustworthyness of the roommates). oh yeah thats also cheap. i was thinking a bunch of rubbermaid/sterilite bins in place of the "luggages" so i can sell those or throw them away, and bins are also easier to stack and organize. but then the other issue is that i want a fishtank soon, a 10 or 15 gallon, and iw as hoping to incorporate that into somethign that also behaved as storage, so i dont have a freestanding tank stand taht takes up space without being dual-use. or would an open shelving unit be better, even though its $50 and bloody gigantic? (and wouldnt hold a fishtank)
right now
vague idea?

Well, I can't be of any help with rearranging...but I will say, you can very easily use the top of the dog crate for storage. Abrams has the size of crate that you will be getting, and I am currently using it as my end table for the couch thanks to a sheet of particle board and a crate cover. It essentially functions as a coffee table. I put my dishes on it when I'm eating, I have a lamp on it, the laptop sits on it, I have all of my TV controllers/video games controllers on it, etc.
As long as you purchase a sturdy wire crate, you should be able to use the top of it for storage/shelving. I haven't experimented with how much weight the crate can hold...but I imagine it would be quite a bit. So, if you were storing things in rubbermaid containers or what have you, those could very easily stack on the dog crate.

I would get another HDX unit. The HDX will easily hold the weight of a 10 or 15 gallon tank. I had one that held a 20 gallon with no problem.
Personally if you go with another HDX, I would do 2 shelves beside the bed where you have the kennel right now, put the kennel where you have it in the second picture. You can then attach two of the HDX legs together to add height and potentially slide the kennel underneath and have a shelf on top (you'd end up with an extra shelf though that could just be a spare).
you can also get those totes from walmart and use them for a bed frame/storage.
I had 8 of them under a full size bed and they where perfect. i little tall but i could store so much stuff. just make sure the stuff you use is in the one that can be slide out/in easiest.
i had 3 totes lined up on each side then two in the middle.
the bed sits on the floor, hasno frame, so thats not a storage option. i didnt even think of only using 2 or 3 of the HDX shelves, thats a good idea
Assamiea, when you had a 20 gallon on yours, was it the 18x36 shelf one (says its rated for 150 lbs per shelf) or the 26x36 one (its the one i have, website says its rated for 200 lbs per shelf). id like to keep things small/cheap and maybe get the 18x36 one, which is $15 cheaper. but do you think its SAFE to have a 10 gallon tank on it? its pretty concentrated weight, not long and skinny like a 20 gallon

sponsored by the district. Each program has its own specific set of purposes: to improve reading or expose students to the classics, to bring in a poet in residence, to provide drug-awareness education, to help counsel teens at risk (of dropping out or pregnancy), to provide jobs for a few students, to visit a local worksite, as examples. Few of these programs are coordinated with each other. Each one is overlaid on what already exists, with little thought to how they relate to each other or to the needs of the students as people, learners, or family members. Each program is noble in its objectives and has good will behind it. But each one done during the school day takes time away from teaching. There is no real forum, particularly with the seemingly endless job action, for discussing how these programs might be coordinated or what should be kept and what dropped. None of the programs is sufficient to deal with the students' life problems or get them into shape to learn.
The community itself, while well off, has been struggling in recent years with tax restrictions that have affected the schools, police, and fire departments in particular. There are many more parents already unemployed or worrying about becoming unemployed than in past years. Even the business partners are finding it hard to spare the slack resources that used to help out the principal. Other organizations in the community, the local Y, a range of churches and synagogues, nonprofit and human service organizations, and local health organizations, have little to do with the schools at all. Each operates well within its own sphere, tending to its own business.
This school is hypothetical, but the problems described--its isolation from the rest of the community, the fragmentation of curriculum, the relative stability and inflexibility of its structure--these are problems that characterize many schools today. It is dealing with these issues that this book is about.

Each year we conduct an anonymous 360 degree feedback questionnaire of our programme to allow our course members to give us their honest views of the course and allow us to tailor it to their needs as fully as possible. The following feedback was received from our course members in 2014
Ratings key: 1. = not at all satisfied (low rating) 5 = highly satisfied (high rating).
Total responses received: 33
1. Course member satisfaction with course content (Average satisfaction rating: 4.15/5 = 83%)
2. Course member satisfaction with support from their group (Average satisfaction rating: 4/5 = 80%)
3. Course member satisfaction with tutor support (Average satisfaction rating: 4.48/5 = 89.7%)
4. Course relevance to course members' personal and professional development needs (Average satisfaction rating: 4.51/5 = 90.3%)
5. Course relevance to course members' work as educational psychologists (Average satisfaction rating: 4.52/5 = 90.3%)
6. Course relevance to course members' services (Average satisfaction rating: 4.09/5 = 81.8%)
7. Some particular assets of the course cited by 2014 course members are:
"A real enjoyment of the process of discovery regarding issues concerning the theoretical and practical knowledge in the field - I feel my eyes have been opened to many issues, knowledge bases and ways of approaching my role as an EP."
"Very well organised. All course content was relevant to both my practice and my studies - never once did I feel I was being asked or expected to do anything that was a waste of time."
"High expectations; high level of support and flexibility; acknowledgement that sometimes life gets in the way."
"Flexibility - my role in my organisation has changed since starting and it has not been a problem to adapt my assignments to my new role."
"Accessibility of tutors and flexibility of working through the programme. Detailed written feedback."
"The clear course structure, remote access/VLE provision, clear dates for tasks to be completed with the appropriate level of flexibility when needed."
8. Some personal improvement suggestions for the course cited by 2014 course members are:
"I can't think of anything that would be easy to implement but it would be useful to revisit some of the teaching elements later in the course when we know what we are doing - as happened with the Epistemology sessions"
"Even more opportunities to share good practice."
"Set up a 'research clinic' for people who have finished the course but are keen to keep a strong research focus in their work."
"Provide a session on project management to support course members to carefully plan how they will achieve the course requirements."
9. Some positives/advantages of doing the CPD doctorate identified by 2014 course members are:
"Really refreshes and re-energises your work as an Educational Psychologist"
"Very stimulating intellectually"
"The doctorate is a great opportunity to develop your academic research and writing skills. It gives you a greater purpose in following up areas of professional interest. The group discussion sessions are valuable and they encourage you to think about subjects from different perspectives and to hear the experiences of EP colleagues around the country. This is particularly useful during periods of rapid change in the professional context."
"You learn many things along the way that you would not otherwise learn. Your practice as a psychologist can improve. You think differently."
"The flexibility of the tutors is extremely helpful. I have been able to do more work when I have had the time and resources and to take a break when I have needed to."
"Motivating, challenging self-development."
"Incredibly worthwhile and stimulating. It has made me feel more like a 'real' Psychologist!"
10. Some negatives/disadvantages of doing the CPD doctorate identified by 2014 course members are:
"Managing workload/timelines."
"It takes time, energy and personal commitment (not necessarily a disadvantage). It can be very challenging."
"The difficulty of managing study on top of work and the rest of life."
"The distance to travel but that's my choice."

A leaking pipe has been blamed for creating the algal bloom on the column at the Gallery of Modern art
Catriona Stewart, Columnist/reporter / / News
A LANDMARK city building has been left in a "disgusting" state, it was claimed today.
Councillors have slammed leisure bosses for allowing a pillar at the Gallery of Modern Art to become covered in green algae.
It is believed a leaking pipe caused water to run down the pillar, creating a breeding ground for algae.
And although Glasgow Life, which is responsible for the building, claims it has fixed the problem, the building has not yet been cleaned.
Martin Docherty, SNP councillor for Anderston and the City Centre, said: "I noticed the state of the building when I was walking past recently.
"This shows a complete lack of care for what is a prominent city building – the pipe was leaking for about four or five years – it's no wonder the pillar has ended up in this state.
"The gutters should be cleaned twice yearly and, if they are not, I would be asking questions as to why not.
"Frankly, it looks disgusting."
Museum bosses claim the source of the problem has now been fixed but the column has still not been cleaned.
A spokesman for Glasgow Life, an arm's length body of the council, said ways to clean up the pillar were being considered.
But a second city councillor said that response is not good enough.
Graeme Hendry, leader of the SNP on the city council, added: "Where GoMA sits is the postcard bit of the city centre.
"If it was Kelvingrove or the Transport Museum it would have been cleaned up yesterday.
"GoMa is clearly not high enough on the list of priorities, even though it is in the city centre and a draw for tourists."
A spokesman for Glasgow Life, said: "We are looking at solutions for permanently removing the algae.
"The algae has not caused any damage to the building."

RSS is a new way to organize and view your favorite content on the web. To better explain to you what it really is and how you can use it I have created a web site for you to view. Please read each page and try using RSS today.
I created this page because I think that using Google Reader to pick up RSS feeds is an excellent way for people to stay informed about our changing world. I think this technology is imperative for high school students because it reinforces the importance of reading for information and for fun. Moreover, GoogleReader is exciting because it allows everyone to pick their own reading material.
While working on this web page, I learned how important it is to plan out a project before trying to create it: once I completed my web page storyboard, the rest of the project was much easier.
To create this page I used HTML. You can learn more about HTML at these sites:
