Was there any reason behind Shri Krishna being quiet until Sisupala made a hundred mistakes? Why did Shri Krishna let him make a hundred mistakes?

The story is told in the Sabha Parva (Book Two) of the Mahabharata. When Shishupala was born, he had three eyes and four arms, which terrified his parents, the king and queen of Chedi. Then an invisible voice sounded from the heavens and said this:
His parents were worried and asked the voice 'who would be the one that would kill Shishupala?', and it answered:
So his parents called all the kings of the world to Chedi and put the child on each of their their laps to see which one would be the slayer. Finally Krishna and Balarama (who were still children at the time) came, as they were nephews of the queen of Chedi. (The queen of Chedi was the sister of Krishna's father Vasudeva). As soon as Krishna put Shishupala in his lap, Shishupala's extra arms fell off and his third eye disappeared. So the queen of Chedi realized that Krishna was the one prophesied to kill Shishupala, and she asked him "O thou of great strength, thou wilt have to pardon the offences of Sisupala for my sake. O tiger of the Yadu race. Know O lord, even this is the boon that I ask." And Krishna responded "O aunt, even when he will deserve to be slain, I will pardon an hundred offences of his. Grieve thou not."
But when he grew up Shishupala found a way to commit a hundred offenses, making his last offenses at Yudishtra's Rajasuya Yagna, and in the middle of the Yagna, in front of all the kings present, Krishna killed Shishupala with the Sudarshana Chakra, saying this:
Yes, it was because Krishna had given word to Sishupala's mother to forgive his hundred mistakes:
Hence, in the yajna of king Yudhisthira, Krishna kept silent until his hundred offences were over and then only killed him.

Yorkville: The Upper East Side's "Hidden" Neighborhood
The Upper East Side, or UES, is actually composed of several sub-neighborhoods, including Yorkville, Carnegie Hill, Gracie Point, Lenox Hill and, believe it or not, Roosevelt Island. Many Yorkville apartments are definitely a bit out of the way–it's a looooong walk from the eastern side of the nabe, to Lexington Ave and the subway–but then, that's kind of the point.
Tucked away on the quiet, leafy streets of the east 80s and 90s, and extending to York Avenue, Yorkville is a unique Manhattan community that attracts both families who appreciate the relatively uncrowded Carl Schurz Park as well as young professionals attracted by the lower rents that always accompany any sort of distance from the subway. Some might call it the Upper FAR East Side, and that's just fine with the residents of Yorkville.
Anyway, none of the above is news for New Yorkers–Yorkville has been a firmly established neighborhood for decades–but there was a nice profile of the community in the Daily News, and it reminded me that NYC newcomers and out-of-towners looking for Manhattan rental apartments might not know about the (relatively) low rents and (unquestionably) pretty blocks up (and over) there.
The News piece spends a lot of time on Carl Schurtz Park, and with good reason: the winding, recently refurbished and well-maintained stretch of green space packs a lot of interest and variety into a few blocks worth of park. There are playgrounds and ball courts, grassy lawns for sunning and relaxing, lots of community events (the dog Halloween costume contest; movie nights in the summer) and a wide promenade overlooking the East River.
But there are plenty of other reasons Yorkville apartment have an appeal as well. The historic buildings, especially the townhouses near Gracie Mansion and the Gingerbread homes on Henderson Place, make many of these blocks about as pretty as any in all of New York City.
The nearby Asphalt Green, a terrific not-for-profit sports and fitness complex, provides citizens of all ages and athletic interests and abilities with a huge roster of choices. And as many residents of the area are quick to point out, that long walk from the Lexington Avenue subway, while perhaps not so lovely when it's freezing, or pouring, is actually a pleasant and affirming way to decompress after a day of the office, providing a nice separation between work and home.

Buuuut I suppose I can forgive that since you have high production values here.
I'm... not
thrilled with the plot. For all its embellishments, it features the protagonist moving to a new region and an evil team with a nebulous and nonsensical goal led by the protagonist's parents. And that's not creative in the least, really. Also the plot hole of the maps has already been pointed out to you, I assume.
...Lemme guess, there's more that you're not showing us that explains away the faults I'm seeing here. That's fine. But what you
showing us, for all of its shininess, has some problems.
Thanks for the critique, we are holding back on some info considering it's not completely done yet, but it will posted as soon as it's finished. The techno part is that the evil team is very advanced technological wise and they use that for their schemes. The plot holes in the maps are because we barely have any of the plot done, my partner, ~*OliverTwist*~ and I are working more on the fakemon and the art aspect of the game; now that TheLegendaryMew is going to help us with the storyline/plot you can expect better things.
This looks like a really awesome game.Good job!Good luck!
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement, we will try our best to make the game awesome.

I have a 1/2 horse power garage door opener (can't find the manual) and for some reason the only way to get the door to close is to push and HOLD the button on the wall. You should be able to push the button and it will close. Also, my remote will only open the door, not close it. I need help!!

your down force, or the revers mechanism are out of adjustment. there are knobs on the unit that are marked upforce, downforce and not sure what the reverse is called, but that would be my first clue. Aother thing to look at would be the sensors at the bottom of the door. There should be one on either side if yours is a fairly recnet unit, not sure what year they started using them, one has an led on it that lights up when it sees the other unit. If no light is on it, try to realign them until it lights up, if it doesnt check the wiring. When you press and hold the button you override that safety mechanism. If in doubt call a profesional to inspect and adjust your unit.

I have just gotten a new MacBook and I have 2 problems with WI-FI.
I keep getting 'connection timeout' when i try to connect any WI-FI . I get this error when I click the network. However, when I wait enough time, it connects. In summary, it connects to WI-FI networks very well, but it keeps giving me timeout error. I read here, and you can see there are lots of people experiencing problems like this. But i couldn't find any solution.
Also it doesn't remember my WI-FI networks' passwords. I'm choosing 'remember this network' checkbox but it keeps asking me for password after every boot.
As I said this is a new MacBook. Could there be a problem with my computer's hardware? What should I do? Should I reinstall some drivers ?

I can't seem to get Safari on the iPhone or iPad to offline cache videos. Everything else gets cached just fine when I go offline. The video file is obviously in the manifest, but I just get the broken arrow. Works fine in Safari desktop. Any clues? I've tried both object embed and the video tags.
Sadly there's a ~5 MB limit on offline cache in Mobile Safari. Not much you can do about it.
See these two articles for mobile browser cache limits (note that the second one adds vital information):
It only generically covers html and "external resources", but they didn't explicitly test video files, so maybe these are never cached by Mobile Safari.
Audio & video are not cached by iPhone since they are played by external applications. It seems the only workaround is to store them as base64 in local database or have them cached in application manifest as php(or similar) file but with base64 encoded audio and video content.
Use the manifest to cache the html pages containing the video tag, then tell your web server to expire the video in 30 years. That way the video will be in the browser cache not the manifest cache.
Update for iOS 4.3 on iPad:
I just tried adding a movie to a manifest file in iOS 4.3.
Safari asked me to allow extending the offline storage and then downloaded the movie.
Perhaps something like this would work: http://www.nihilogic.dk/labs/jsvideo/test2.php
i have read it needs an html5 manifest setup to cache files

The G20 PLayed Its Hand… Will Germany Go "All In"?Submitted by Phoenix Capital Research on 02/27/2012 12:34 -0400
Will Germany go "all in" on the Euro experiment? I doubt it. In fact I've found the "smoking gun" the little known act that Germany has recently implemented that proves the country has a Plan B that involves leaving the Euro with minimal damage.
As Pentagon Sends Reinforcements To Straits Of Hormuz, Iraq Redux LoomsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/26/2012 00:49 -0400
A few days ago, before the latest breakout in crude sent Brent to all time highs in GBP and EUR (and Asian Tapis in USD just shy of all time highs), we said that "we hope our readers stocked up on gasoline. Because things are about to get uglier. And by that we mean more expensive. But courtesy of hedonic adjustments, more expensive means cheaper, at least to the US government." This was due to recent news out of Iran "where on one hand we learn that IAEA just pronounced Iran nuclear talks a failure (this is bad), and on the other Press TV reports that the Iran army just started a 4 day air defense exercise in a 190,000 square kilometer area in southern Iran (this is just as bad). The escalation "ball" is now in the Western court." We were not surprised to learn that the "Western court" has responded in precisely the way we had expected. The WSJ reports: "The Pentagon is beefing up U.S. sea- and land-based defenses in the Persian Gulf to counter any attempt by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military has notified Congress of plans to preposition new mine-detection and clearing equipment and expand surveillance capabilities in and around the strait... The military also wants to quickly modify weapons systems on ships so they could be used against Iranian fast-attack boats, as well as shore-launched cruise missiles" Which means the escalation slider was just shifted up by one more level, as Iran will next do just what every actor caught in an Always Defect regime as part of an iterated prisoners' dilemma always does - step up the rhetoric even more, as backing off at this point is impossible. Which means that crude will go that much more higher in the coming days, as now even the MSM is starting to grasp the obvious - from the Guardian: "The drumbeat of war with Iran grows steadily more intense. Each day brings more defiant rhetoric from Tehran, another failed UN nuclear inspection, reports of western military preparations, an assassination, a missile test, or a dire warning that, once again, the world is sliding towards catastrophe. If this all feels familiar, that's because it is. For Iran, read Iraq in the countdown to the 2003 invasion." And the most ironic thing is that the biggest loser out of all this, at least in the short-term is.... Greece.

Presenting The Goldman Wall Of Worry, And The One Key Item MissingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/19/2012 19:14 -0400
Now that the bipolar market has once again resynced general risk appetite with the EURUSD (high Euro -> high ES and vice versa), everything in the macro front aside from European developments, is noise (and the occasional reminder by data adjusting authorities in the US that the country can in fact decouple with the entity responsible for half the world's trade. This will hardly come as a surprise to anyone. In fact, the conventional wisdom as shown by Goldman's latest client poll has European sovereign crisis worries far in the lead of all macro risks. Behind it are Iran and nuclear tensions, China hard-landing, the US recovery/presidential election and the Japanese trade deficit/record debt/JGB issues. Which for all intents and purposes means that the next big "surprise" to the market will be none of the above. What are some of the factor not listed as big macro risks? According to David Kostin 'Risks that clients did not mention include late March US Supreme Court review of health care reform (implications for 12% of S&P 500); mid-year deadline to implement Dodd-Frank financial reform (14% of market); and the French Presidential election on April 22nd where polls show incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy trails opposition candidate Francois Hollande." Oddly enough, one very crucial item missing is once again surging inflation courtesy of trillions in stealthy central banks reliquification, sending crude to the highest since May 2011, and the most expensive gas price in January on record.

German Foreign Minister: "I Don't Want A German Europe... I Want A European Germany"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2012 13:06 -0400
With nothing but mute silence out of Germany in the aftermath of last night's "historic" Greek vote, the EURUSD is getting nervous trading down to just above 1.3200 minutes ago, well below the level reached last night following the passage in the Greek parliament of the vote with 199 out of 300 votes. As such, everyone is starved for some clues of what Merkel and Germany thinks at this point - will they simply leave Greece to flounder, by demanding even more "reality" and implementation of measures from the first bailout - something Greece obviously can not do? Or will Germany relent for at least one more payment (of €210 billion). We don't know, at least not yet. But the following Spiegel interview with German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle may provide some insight. The key part: "Q. The second aid package will presumably be more expensive than anticipated, partly because the Greeks haven't kept their promises. How much longer will the German public put up with this?...Westerwelle: It's undoubtedly a moment of truth for Greece. If a sustainable and correct course is set in Athens now, Greece can expect our support -- but only then. There will be no more advance payments. Only actions count now." Like we said, hardly the ringing endorsement people expect. Then there's this: " I am more than dissatisfied with the political impasse in Greece in recent weeks. I'm also addressing the German opposition when I say this: You can't solve a debt crisis by constantly incurring new debts." And yet that is precisely what Bailout 2 is doing as we have patiently explained over and over. Yet Guido said something else which may be of interest to everyone else in Europe: "I don't want a German Europe. Q. What do you want? A. A European Germany." Aaaand, enter lost in translation interpretations.
Spiegel: "It's Time To End The Greek Rescue Farce"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/07/2012 14:21 -0400
Back in July of 2011, when we first predicted the demise of the second Greek bailout package, even before the details were fully known in "The Fatal Flaw In Europe's Second "Bazooka" Bailout: 82 Million Soon To Be Very Angry Germans, Or How Euro Bailout #2 Could Cost Up To 56% Of German GDP" we asked, "what happens tomorrow when every German (in a population of 82 very efficient million) wakes up to newspaper headlines screaming that their country is now on the hook to 32% of its GDP in order to keep insolvent Greece, with its 50-some year old retirement age, not to mention Ireland, Portugal, and soon Italy and Spain, as part of the Eurozone? What happens when these same 82 million realize that they are on the hook to sacrificing hundreds of years of welfare state entitlements (recall that Otto von Bismark was the original welfare state progentior) just so a few peripheral national can continue to lie about their deficits (the 6 month Greek deficit already is missing Its full year benchmark target by about 20%) and enjoy generous socialist benefits up to an including guaranteed pensions? What happens when an already mortally wounded in the polls Angela Merkel finds herself in the next general election and experiences an epic electoral loss? We will find out very, very shortly." Alas, it has not been all that very "shortly", as once again we underestimated people's stupidity and willingness to pay the piper of a crumbling economic and monetary system. But our prediction is finally starting to come true. Spiegel has just released an article, which encapsulates what well over 50% of Germans think, who say that the time to let Greece loose, has come.
Socialist Hollande, Who Wants Full European Treaty Renegotiation, Increases Lead Over SarkozySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2012 09:55 -0400
With under 3 months left until the first round of the French presidential election on April 22, it maybe prudent to start paying attention to France, where socialist presidential candidate Francois Hollande has just widened his lead over President Nicolas Sarkozy despite a flurry of measures being advanced by the conservative leader to boost employment and competitiveness, a poll showed on Tuesday. This is quite relevant for Europe, as Hollande has made it very clear that none of the recent treaties and agreements would stand in their current version if elected, in the process overturning austerity and the position of the ECB in Europe's bailout org chart, and will gradually add an element of uncertainty to the second most important country in Europe's core, even if no longer AAA-rated. And for those who say there is no chance Hollande could take over, according to IFOP Hollande would trash Sarkozy in a runoff election by a whopping 58% to 42%, a result that even Romney and Diebold would be envious of.

Juncker Breaks Away From Propaganda Pack, Says Euro Default Will Lead To ContagionSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/27/2012 08:12 -0400
That Europe has been unable to do the simplest thing, and come to a conclusion in its negotiation with Greek creditors, now running into its six month, is not very surprising. After all this is Europe, where nothing gets done before the deadline, only in the case of Greece the deadline also means the risk of runaway contagion. And as of today there are about 53 days left before the March 20 Greek D-Day. Yet the one thing European should at least be able to do is to have their story straight on what happens once Greece defaults. If nothing else, to show solidarity for optics' sake. Alas, it can't even do that. Because just overnight we have two diametrically opposing stories hitting the tape. On one hand we have Spanish economic minister Luis de Guindos telling Bloomberg TV in Davos that the euro region could withstand a Greek default. This is very much in line with the Jamie Dimon line of thinking that there will be limited fallout. Yet on the other hand, it is that perpetual bag of hot air, Europe's very own head propaganda master Jean Claude Juncker, who ironically told Le Figaro that a Greek default must be avoided at all costs as it would lead to Contagion (read tipping dominoes all over the place). Too bad that both Fitch and S&P said that a Greek default at this juncture is inevitable. And while Juncker's statement in itself is absolutely true, the fact that discord is appearing at the very core of European propaganda - the one place it can afford to stay united until the very end - is troubling indeed. Especially since Juncker also told Le Figaro that Germany can not be asked to do everything alone. Is that a quiet request for the Fed to keep bailing out Europe since the ECB apparently has no interest in doing so?

One Of 2011's Best Performing Hedge Funds Sees Gold At $2,500 ShortlySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/20/2012 17:12 -0400
While it is early to determine if the ongoing breakout is finally in anticipation of upcoming episodes of direct and indirect monetization by the Fed, ECB, or any of the many other pathological currency diluters in circulation, it is obvious that precious metals have found a new bid in recent days. Is this then, the beginning of the next surge in gold and silver to record highs? It remains to be seen, but one entity, the Duet Commodities Fund which was one of last year's best performers, has already made up its mind. 'Our central forecast in gold remains constructive as our long term view targets $2,500 in 2012. Our core view is that gold will head higher to the $2,500 range driven by consequential USD weakness once the EU crisis dissipates and the US steps into the limelight. A weaker USD is not undesirable in the world order as everyone (especially China) understands that the US consumer is the driver for global consumer confidence and consequential consumption led demand." Wow - someone in this market can actually think one step ahead of the inevitable ECB LTRO/monetization, and realize that the Fed will in turn have to escalate to that escalation. Gold, er golf clap.

The Orange apartment was perfect for 2 people! almost a little too large. Very nice and clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, with even the bath tub. For City it's not far, it take several trams and in the immediate vicinity there are many small supermarkets. Renata gave us a friendly, explained everything and we could enjoy the weekend in Prague!
Das Apartment Orange war für 2 Personen perfekt! fast ein wenig zu groß. Sehr schön und sauber. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet, das Bad sogar mit Badewanne.
Zur City ist es nicht weit, es fahren mehrere Straßenbahnen und in direkter Umgebung gibt es viele kleine Supermärkte.
Renata hat uns freundlich empfangen, alles erklärt und wir konnten das Wochenende in Prag genießen!
A nice apartment with a very clean bathroom and well equipped kitchen, a helpful manager (Renata) that speaks very good English, and in a really good location very close to one of the most beautiful residential areas in central Prague. A short walk (or an even shorter tram ride) will take you to Namesti Miru, a lovely square with an impressive church and some nice cafés. I'd stay there again.
austere apartment, but everything is there. hostess was very attentive and gave us many tips on Praag.openbaar transport geweldig.stad is stunningly beautiful.
sober appartement,maar alles is aanwezig.
gastvrouw was zeer attent en gaf ons nog veel tips over Praag.openbaar vervoer is geweldig.stad is overweldigend mooi.
Renata is simply the best! she waited for me on the door and she explained me all facilities of the flat which is a mono local with everything you need for living. she also gave me a map and advised me about the city and transport. there is a beautiful terrace (6th floor) and kitchen with some staff for breakfast....there also are dishwasher and laundry in the bathroom!!!! the flat is 2 bus stop (nr 22) from Namista Maru which is on the green metro line, a couple of stops from Venceslao square. in the flat there also wifi.
Optimally, quiet, very nice close to town, the price is pastes Apartment
Optimal,ruhig,sehr schönes stadtnahes,dem Preis angepastes Appartment
Renata is a very, very nice woman. The reception was pleasantly warm. The location is great. A few meters further take the tram station and a few minutes later you are in the heart of the city. Only downside is that in the apartment no blinds are present, only curtains, letting light through. Except for a few hairs in the bathroom, the apartment was clean tip top. I would definitely go back. Price was reasonable. Have fun in Prague.
Renata ist eine sehr, sehr nette Frau. Der Empfang war angenehm herzlich.
Die Lage ist super. Ein Paar Meter weiter fährt die Tram-Bahn und wenige Minuten später ist man im Herzen der Stadt.
Einziger Nachteil ist, dass in der Wohnung keine Rollos vorhanden sind, sondern nur Vorhänge, die das Licht durchlassen. Bis auf ein paar Haare im Bad, war die Wohnung tip top sauber.
ich würde definitiv wieder hin gehen. Preis war angemessen.
Viel Spaß in Prag.
We were on Kozacka Orange 4 days. Very convenient location, 2 minutes to the tram stop, near shops and small cafes, delicious and inexpensive.
The apartment is large, clean, comfortable, very good equipment
very nice and friendly host.

text: THE last decade of the nineteenth century is a very confused period for the student of international politics. It opened with an Anglo-German convention which seemed to dispose of all serious disputes between the two governments; at its close the world had become aware of an Anglo-German rivalry that boded ill for the peace of Europe. In 1890 the Triple Alliance was well-nigh omnipotent in Europe; in 1900 it was confronted by a hostile alliance of France and Russia, with which Powers, however, the German Empire had managed to preserve tolerably cordial relations. The position of Great Britain had changed most of all. Lord Salisbury and Prince Bismarck were in substantial agreement in 1890; in 1900 Anglo-German relations were so delicate, thanks to the inflamed state of public opinion on both sides of the North Sea, that the most careful handling of the difficulties arising out of the Boer War was required of the German Government to prevent an open rupture. Four years later, on April 8, 1904, France and England signed a series of agreements, which not only adjusted numerous disputes of long standing, but rescued England from the "splendid isolation" to which the policy of Lord Salisbury condemned her, and effected a diplomatic revolution comparable only to the reversal of alliances on the eve of the Seven Years' War. The essential point lay in the fact that Great Britain passed over to the side of Germany's hereditary enemy, France, and by her action restored a semblance of equilibrium to a Europe long dominated by Germany.

NBA Draft's Potential Celtics: Kentucky G/F James Young
|05.16.14 at 9:00 am ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2014 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be available to the Celtics when they make their two selections in the first round.
Position: Wing
School: Kentucky
Age: 18
Height: 6-foot-7
Weight: 215 pounds
Wingspan: 6-foot-11
Key 2013-14 stats: 14.3 points, 34.9 3PT%, 46.9 2PT%
Scouting report: Highly recruited out of high school, Young failed to meet the expectations set for him at Kentucky. However, he still managed to prove his potential as a go-to scorer with some terrific performances, including his 20 points game in the national title game.
The 18-year-old's greatest potential comes as a spot-up shooter or as a "triple threat." Young has great perimeter shooting mechanics, with a fast release and a long wingspan, which allows him to get shots off cleanly. Even though Young lacks high-end athleticism and advanced dribbling moves, he has the potential to be a scorer driving to the basket, as he showed in flashes throughout the season.
Young is an extremely poor defender and rarely stayed in his stance, often appearing disinterested about defending. Pre-draft interviews will be important to determine his willingness to play hard on that end of the floor; players with Young's offensive skill-set are a dime a dozen, but the ones that can defend even at an average level manage to stick in the league.
A prospect like Young would benefit greatly from time spent learning the game in the D-League. Considering his raw abilities on both ends of the floor, being thrust into action may only stunt his development. But as the fourth-youngest player in the draft, Young has ample time to progress his skills and take advantage of his ideal body for an NBA wing.
How he fits: Young is so far away from making an impact in the NBA that it's hard to see the Celtics selecting him. Even though the potential is there for him to be a quality scorer, the C's have said they plan on being competitive next season and Young wouldn't be able to immediately contribute.

NBA Draft's Potential Celtics: Michigan SG Nik Stauskas
|05.15.14 at 9:00 am ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2014 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be available to the Celtics when they make their two selections in the first round.
Position: Shooting guard
School: Michigan
Age: 20
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 200 pounds
Wingspan: 6-foot-7
Key 2013-14 stats: 17.5 points, 3.3 assists, 44.2 3PT%, 82.4 FT%
Scouting report: Stauskas is a fairly safe pick since the NBA will always have a need for players who can spread the floor and shoot 3-pointers at a high level. At worst, Stauskas projects as a 3-point shooting specialist, though he brings more to the table.
Stauskas possesses excellent shooting mechanics, as proven by his ability to hit shots from all over the court and score equally as well on both attempts off the dribble or the catch. With pure athleticism and fantastic footwork, Stauskas will have no problems getting his shot off in the NBA.
But the 6-foot-6 Canadian (who prepped at St. Mark's in Southboro) is considered a potential lottery pick because of the other intangibles he brings. Stauskas isn't expected to be an isolation scorer, but he could work as a secondary pick-and-roll ball-handler, as he can penetrate the lane, finish in the paint or accurately dish the ball out to the perimeter.
With below-average lateral quickness, Stauskas will initially struggle defending NBA wings, but there is hope he improves as a team defender. Stauskas added 16 pounds of muscle and six inches to his vertical during the 2013 offseason, which took his game to the next level, so teams should expect him to at least become an adequate defender. Even if he doesn't, the team that drafts him is getting a player that will knock down 3's at a 40 percent clip, and there is a lot of value there.
How he fits: Stauskas would make an immediate impact for the Celtics because of his versatility as a shooter, but they probably would have to trade up from 17 into the back of the lottery to have a chance at selecting him. If Avery Bradley signs with another team, the need for a replacement shooting guard will be significant.

Weekly NBA Draft Watch: Free agents to watch in '15
|05.14.14 at 11:02 am ET
In my last column, I wrote about some free agents who potentially could catch Danny Ainge's eye this summer. However, if you expect a 2007-ish rebuild to happen overnight again, I'm afraid your expectations are too high. The Celtics are going to take a couple of years to build back up, making 2015 an equally important offseason.
A lot can happen between now and next summer, but a strong free agent class is anticipated. Much like the last column, not all of the names may look like fits now, but under the right circumstances could be in the future. Following is a handful of names that should be on Ainge's radar for 2015.
Brook Lopez — First and foremost, Lopez needs to prove he can stay healthy. He's had serious foot issues so far in the NBA, but he also is one of the best scoring centers in the league when healthy. Lopez is a legit 7-footer, something Ainge is looking for in his next big man.
Lopez signed a four-year extension in 2012, but 2015-16 is a player option, so he could choose to opt out if the Nets begin to fade from contention. The Nets have the potential to implode over the next couple of seasons due to age and bad contracts. Even as players begin to come off the books, Brooklyn still should be over the cap for years to come, making the team's future a delicate situation.
This signing would be a risk, but if the price is right, Lopez could be the perfect fit next to Jared Sullinger … on offense, that is. Defensively Ainge still would need to find a solution. That said, a frontcourt that features and healthy Lopez and Sullinger is scary for any team to face.
Robin Lopez — For twin brothers, Robin and Brook sure have different games. Robin is much more of a low-post defender and shot-blocker than his brother, but he is nowhere near as developed on offense.
With the scoring ability of Sullinger, Robin would be just as good a fit as his brother in Boston. Robin would not be leaned upon to score, allowing him to do what he does best — defend and rebound. He has had a ton of success in Portland this season playing alongside scorers, including in the playoffs. The more I think about it, despite Brook's All-Star appearance; Robin is the Lopez brother to watch in 2015.
NBA Draft's Potential Celtics: Kansas C Joel Embiid
|05.14.14 at 9:00 am ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2014 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be available to the Celtics when they make their two selections in the first round.
Position: Center
School: Kansas
Age: 20
Height: 7-foot-0
Weight: 240 pounds
Wingspan: 7-foot-5
Key 2013-14 stats: 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.6 blocks
Scouting report: No player in this draft has the potential to make such a monstrous impact on both ends of the floor as Embiid does. His ideal combination of size, length and instincts make him a dominant rebounder. Embiid averaged 14 boards per 40 minutes, leading this year's crop of prospects, but he will be even better as he adds muscle to his frame.
Despite only playing organized basketball since 2011, the native of Cameroon has displayed an ability to quickly learn the game. It would not be a surprise if Embiid — who also averaged 4.5 blocks per 40 minutes (the second most of 2014 prospects) — pans out to be one of the best defensive big men in the league once he reaches his prime.
Embiid idolizes legendary big man Hakeem Olajuwon, already borrowing some of his moves on the post, including "The Dream Shake." While it's unfair to make that type of comparison for Embiid, it's rare to see an inexperienced player with such a wide repertoire of post moves, including drop steps, jump hooks, face-ups, spins and other secondary counters.
Even though Kansas' system rarely called for Embiid to shoot jumpers, he thrived in his limited opportunities, displaying smooth mechanics and a soft, natural touch. He must improve his mechanics — especially his follow through — but the building blocks are there for him to quickly develop into a reliable pick-and-pop mid-range shooting option, as well as a scorer down on the block.
At this point, Embiid might be underrated. After his back injury scare in March, many draft enthusiasts soured on Embiid's stock, but from what we know, the injury was no big deal and it's already in the past. With that said, the focus should be on Embiid's skill as a basketball player until alarming medical reports are released, if ever. And if that's the focus, then general managers are looking at a player who could potentially become one of the best bigs in the league.
How he fits: It'd be shocking if Embiid wasn't at the top of the Celtics' draft board considering their desperate need for a rim protector and a go-to scorer. If Embiid reaches his sky-high potential, he'll fill that void and then some more. There is a chance Embiid slips past the top three picks, but it's hard to see him falling any further than that.

NBA Draft's Potential Celtics: Louisiana-Lafayette PG Elfrid Payton
|05.13.14 at 9:00 am ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2014 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be available to the Celtics when they make their two selections in the first round.
Position: Point guard
School: Louisiana-Lafayette
Age: 20
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 190 pounds
Wingspan: 6-foot-7
Key 2013-14 stats: 19.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.3 steals
Scouting report: Despite growing up in the small town of Gretna, La., Payton beat the odds, possessing has all the tools necessary to be a classic pass-first point guard in the NBA. Payton makes all the right passes and consistently feeds the ball into the shooter's pocket. He can pass and dribble equally well with both his right and left hand — an underrated talent. The 6-foot-4 guard has also demonstrated on-court leadership skills, as he does a tremendous job of quickly getting his team into their half-court offensive sets.
Payton's knack for handling the ball will make him a quality playmaker in the pick-and-roll, since he doesn't lose speed when changing directions and he's able to get all the way to the rim without settling for floaters. Payton often struggled with contact at the rim, but that's due to his lanky upper body; with a professional training staff guiding him, it's fair to expect his success rate to increase.
However, Payton is a dreadful shooter and will need to spend extensive time with a shooting coach. He has poor footwork, he has a hitch on his release, and his elbow is almost always out, which leads to an obvious lack of confidence from the perimeter. And the stats support this, since he shot only 25.5 percent from behind the arc, 25.8 percent from mid-range and 60.9 percent from the line. But he is the youngest upperclassman in the draft, as he doesn't turn 21 until next year, so he has plenty of time to improve his mechanics.
Payton also was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2013-14 after proving his ability as a tenacious defender. With terrific lateral quickness, a long wingspan and swift hands, Payton certainly will find a spot in the NBA as a role player. Point guards as efficient and reliable as Payton don't go unnoticed, even if they can't shoot worth a lick.
How he fits: Payton is a poor man's Rajon Rondo. He can't shoot, but he does everything else extremely well, including passing, rebounding and defending. However, the Celtics may prefer a point guard that can shoot, since Brad Stevens' motion offense calls for a spread floor, unless the C's believe they can improve Payton's shooting mechanics and production.

NBA Draft's Potential Celtics: Indiana PF Noah Vonleh
|05.12.14 at 9:00 am ET
As part of WEEI.com's coverage of the 2014 NBA draft, here is one in a series of profiles of players who could be available to the Celtics when they make their two selections in the first round.
Position: Power forward
School: Indiana
Age: 18
Height: 6-foot-10
Weight: 240 pounds
Wingspan: 7-foot-4
Key 2013-14 stats: 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 56.0 eFG%
Scouting report: Vonleh, a Haverhill native, is an elite rebounder, as he proved with 13.6 boards per 40 minutes this season (the second most of all 2014 prospects). He consistently boxes out and knows how to use his enormous 88-inch wingspan to sprawl out for boards.
Offensively, Vonleh is raw but was still underutilized in Indiana's broken offensive system. With a sweet jumper (48.5 3P%) and smooth mechanics, Vonleh will be a threat as a pick-and-pop shooter. He also has a soft scoring touch around the rim, which bodes well for his potential in the pick-and-roll and on second-chance opportunities.
While his status as one of the youngest players in the draft is a positive, it also works as a weakness. Vonleh is underdeveloped, which makes it difficult to project his ceiling. With robotic footwork on the block, there are no guarantees he ever develops post moves despite his fantastic combination of height and length. He also needs to add strength to his frame, as he shot only 59.3 percent at the rim this season.
Defensively, Vonleh often looks lost, missing rotations and failing to protect the rim.
Overall, Vonleh seems like a good bet to at least be an efficient NBA role player, but his upside is impossible to predict due to his inexperience. Depending on where he's selected, Vonleh could easily become the steal of the draft or one of the biggest mistakes. But, with ideal size and prototypical skills as a modern NBA big, Vonleh should be guaranteed as a top-10 pick.
How he fits: The Celtics have a logjam of talent at power forward and center, but they lack a player with the potential to be a rim protector. Vonleh is at least three years away from making that type of impact, but a forward-thinking franchise like the C's might see too much upside to pass up on him with the fifth, sixth, or seventh pick.

Double '07: Carmelo Anthony, Ray Allen and Celtics triumvirates
|05.08.14 at 3:01 pm ET
This is the third in a series on the parallels between Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge's last team to miss the NBA playoffs and this year's lottery-bound squad. A deeper look at the C's player personnel, potential trade packages and financial flexibility should offer insight into whether or not Ainge can recreate the 2007 magic of acquiring Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen seven years later in 2014. (Hence, Double '07.)
Part 1: Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Celtics captaincy
Part 2: Kevin Garnett, Kevin Love and Celtics restoration
As if acquiring Kevin Love or another perennial All-Star to pair with Rajon Rondo weren't difficult enough, in order to restore the Celtics to championship caliber, Danny Ainge faces the harsh reality that Love is not enough.
In today's NBA, three isn't a crowd. It's a necessity. The Celtics don't win the 2008 title without Ray Allen, just as the Heat don't win the past two without Chris Bosh (or Allen, for that matter). Making matters worse, few — if any — elite players will realistically change teams in the next couple years. Other than Love, of course.
Of the top-25 players listed on ESPN's NBA Rank this past season, only Love, Kyrie Irving, Carmelo Anthony and an injured Kobe Bryant failed to make the playoffs. Irving remains on his rookie contract through next season, and Bryant just signed an obscene two-year, $48.5 million deal, leaving Anthony as the next most likely candidate.

Manila, Philippines – MALAYSIAN director Wi-ding Ho's "Pinoy Sunday" bagged the Best Picture award at the recent Comedy Cluj Film Festival in Romania.
The internationally acclaimed film, starring Bayani Agbayani, Epi Quizon, Meryll Soriano and Alessandra de Rossi, served as the opening film of the 2nd Taiwan Film Festival held at Shangri-la Plaza cinemas from Oct. 20 to 26.
"Pinoy Sunday" tells the story of two overseas Filipino workers (OFWs, played by Quizon and Agbayani) in Taiwan who discover a couch left behind the sidewalk and decide to bring it all the way to their dormitory.
In a previous Bulletin Entertainment online report, Quizon related the film's story to the Filipinos' concept of unity or "bayanihan."
"Yung pagbuhat namin kung nakita niyo, bayanihan system 'yan eh, na binuhat namin 'yung pangarap namin. Kumbaga, dinaanan namin 'yung hirap na maski hindi naman namin alam kung maabot 'yun, pero kami susubukan at susubukan namin. Parang, bawat Pilipino, di ba, binibigyan tayo ng mga problema pero susubukan at susubukan natin," he said. (Bulletin Entertainment Online)
