Skill Level Beginner
Let's go ahead and improve upon this portrait of our young girl. I'm going to start in Adobe Camera Raw, but you'll find very similar controls also available in Photoshop Lightroom. Let's be a little bit lazy and click the Auto button for a starting point. You'll see that PhotoShop pushed that neutral gray, and tried to make it white, leading to an overexposed image. I did this though, so you could see the clipping warnings, and these are enabled by clicking the triangles in the upper right corner. Notice we definitely have some clipping there in the highlights, as indicated by the red overlay.
Let's back that off a bit. Now as I did that you see the highlight clippings go away but we're seeing a warning for the shadows. This clipping is indicated by the blue overlay for the shadowy areas. That's going to register as pure black and when you print it, it won't reproduce accurately. You'll lose all sorts of detail. Lifting the black slider did a nice job of recovering that area. In this point I have no clipping in either the highlights or the shadows. That's looking pretty good. Let's put a little bit of clarity in to add some selective contrast, but be careful not to over do it.
If you add too much clarity, the skin tones will start to look really rough. And let's add a little bit of vibrance to bring out her skin color. That's looking good. What I want to do now is just a little bit of touch up. I can do that here in camera raw or in light room or in another application. Let's kick this over to Photoshop though and finish it there. I'll click the Open up object button to send it over. Lets start by going after a few of the stray hairs. I'll duplicate the layer, that can be done right-clicking, or pressing Cmd+J, or Ctrl+J and then right-click on the layer and rasterize it.
You'll note I still have the other version down below. Lets call that layer hair clean up. And I'll drag that layer in down below. Let's zoom in a little bit so we can see some of those stray hairs. Using the clone stamp tool, let's make sure the sample all layers option is chosen, as well make an empty layer to hold the strokes. This'll make it very easy to brush up and restore the image. But if I go too far or accidentally dig into the image it's easy to take the eraser tool and clean that up because it's on its own layer.
See, you see that gives you quite a bit of flexibility. Let's make a few quick strokes with a soft edge brush, and that's allowing me to clean up some of those stray hairs. I still want the hair to look natural, though, so don't overdo it. The goal here is just minimize the amount of fly aways. That's lookin good. Let's check the other side. There's a few there that we can clean up. Now remember, it's important to keep your sample points parallel so the lighting variations in the backdrop carry over accurately into the new strokes. But I really like that this is on its own layer.
It makes it much easier to control the strokes as well as touch them up. If i accidentally draw something I don't need. That's looking pretty good, let's toggle that off and on for comparison. That looks really good, we worked our way in there and picked up a lot of those stray hairs. Lets get rid of a few blemishes. I like her freckles a lot so we're going to preserve those but just do some minor touch up. Lets zoom in a further, you can use the zoom tool or press Cmd + or Ctrl +. Let's get rid of this stray hair. We'll switch over to the healing brush. Set to the brush to a really small brush stroke and then Option or click to set the sample point and you'll see that you can just paint that.
It samples the adjacent pixels and gently blends them together. It does a good job removing that stray hair. Remember this also is being done to sample all layers. Now if we make a mistake, or something looks too heavy, remember we can always go back in with the eraser tool, or another tool to clean that up. That's the benefit of keeping everything isolated to its own layer. Let's leave the hairline alone. But we'll do a couple of touch up strokes up here. Now, by following the hairline and some of the stray hairs, it's pretty easy to touch things up. Now there's a few hot spots on the skin, so let's tone those down a bit.
Let's make another new layer and then select the Healing brush. I'll sample from one area of her skin to another. Paint over the hot spot just to blend it. That's looking good. This zone here in the forehead is also another good place to touch up, to get rid of some of the hot spots. You see the healing brush does a great job, especially when you sample from areas of the forehead that are nice and even. It's done a great job removing those blemishes and really smoothing that out so it blends better. Be careful to preserve the skin detail. Many people overdo this. I'm going to leave some of those blemishes in there.
Lets just remove some of the ones that are most pronounced. Now by toggling that layer on and off you can see we've smoothed out some of the hot spots on the forehead. Let's zoom in and select a soft brush. I'm just using the Option or the Alt key to sample, and then brush in some additional gentle touch up. That's looking good. Let's just touch up the teeth a bit, make them a bit brighter. Using the Magic Wand tool, I'll click to select the teeth. Switch over to quick mask mode by pressing the letter q. That makes it easy to see what you have selected. You can now grab a paint brush and brush in strokes to refine the selection.
Let's remove a bit of the gumline. Flip over to white. And paint in some of the area that's missing. Pressing d will load black and white. And you can use the x key to toggle between the two colors. Trying to find a good balance of getting the teeth selected, and not too much more. An extra tip. Trying using a lower opacity brush to have a blended zone between the selected and non selected areas. Remember, you can use the X key to switch between black and white. And just paint to continue to refine the selection of the teeth. All right, that looks good.
I think that's a reasonably accurate selection. Press the q key to exit the quick mask mode and you can see the marching ants indicating the selection. Click the curves button in the adjustment layer panel to add a curves adjustment. Choose the on image tool, and then click in your image to add a control point. Drag up to lift the brightness. That was a very gentle and natural looking adjustment. The teeth got brighter, without everything getting desaturated which looks more natural. A little bit of tint to the color of the teeth. Let's continue to add a few points, and brighten that up just a bit more.
If needed, I could pull the shadows back down, to add some of the line detail back into the teeth. I can click the visibility icon there to toggle the before and after state, to gauge the adjustment. That's definitely working. And because it uses a mask, I could touch up some of the stray areas, like the gum line here, that's becoming a bit affected. Let's paint that back in. Same up here in the corner, where it transitions from the gum to the tooth. Let's try a brush set to 20% opacity, to build that up gently. That looks good. You can also try the blur tool to just go ahead and soften up the transition area.
That really does a good job smoothing that. There we go, her teeth look good, nice and bright. Now let's brighten the eyes just a little bit. Select the current layer, press Cmd or Ctrl+A to select all, and then create a merge copy, and then paste the merge copy in. Let's put that layer just above a bit. And then switch it to screen mode, so it adds up the brighter values. Now, what that did is brightened everything up. Don't worry about these other areas. We're just going to get the eyes here, and we'll start to mask this out. Hold down the Option or Alt key.
And click on the Add mask button to add a mask that's already filled. Then, choose your paintbrush tool. Click on the mask thumbnail and you can paint with the white brush set to 100%. Zoom in so you're into the eye area, and then you can start to brush. Now, this is a bit bright, so it's going to look a little bit racoon eyes to start, but don't worry about it. We'll fix that transition by adjusting the opacity. Just try to brighten up the eye region with accurate brush strokes. We're going after the whites of the eye and some of the areas where shadows tend to pop up.
That's looking good. Now just lower the opacity of that layer down to about 35%. You see it nicely brightened up the eyes, and just filled them in with a little more light. That's looking great. Let's go ahead and crop this image with the crop tool. Let's go with a 4 by 5, or 8 by 10 crop. As I position that crop, you'll see it gives you interactive feedback with the guidelines. Let's place that eye at the intersection point, then uncheck the option to delete the cropped pixels. Click the Commit button to apply the crop. You see that all the layers come across intact. Let's build that back up. First, you'll see the base layer.
Then we had an adjustment on the teeth. We brightened up the eyes a little bit. Let's smooth that out a bit by blurring the mask. I'll just click on the thumbnail and then choose filter, blur, Gaussian blur. That's going to blend things just a bit. Let's soften that by increasing the radius. You see we get a nice interactive preview there. That looks good. We touched up the stray hairs and then did a little bit of cloning on the forehead there with the healing brush to smooth things out.
I like what I have but let's go ahead and get a flattened version. So I'll choose select all and then edit, copy merge, paste it on top. Let's go ahead and filter that layer. Choose Filter, convert for Smart Filters. Click, OK. Now let's apply the Camera Raw Filter as an actual filter which is a new option available in Photoshop CC. If you don't have this you can go ahead and skip this step. This gives me some great flexibility. In fact I could take advantage of some of the adjustments I used before like clarity.
I could recheck clipping using the black and white sliders as well as the clipped pixel indicator. You see there's a little bit of clipping in the blacks there. So lets lift those up a bit. I could jump over to the effects tab and actually apply a post-cropping here. I like that. That really puts the focus back in on our subject. We can even go over to the lens correction tab and take advantage of any adjustments to remove chromatic aberration or lens distortion. Doesn't look like there's any chromatic aberration here. Lets add a little bit of contrast with a curve. We'll lift the mid tones up a bit, then we could refine that with a little more vibrance to bring out her color. Clicking, OK, it applies the filter. Remember, you can always go back to the original by unchecking that layers visibility icon. Or use the Opacity slider to blend the two results together to get something a bit more natural. I think that looks pretty good, blending the top copy at 60%. We'll call that a good first pass that's ready to show to the client.

NVIDIA SHIELD Review; Android and More
NVIDIA's SHIELD has been teased for months and now launch has finally arrived. Is it everything NVIDIA promised? Can it break out of its predetermined Android mold? You bet!
NVIDIA's SHIELD has been teased for months and now launch has finally arrived. Is it everything NVIDIA promised? Can it break out of its predetermined Android mold? You bet!
An A10-5750M APU within a gaming notebook may seem like an oxymoron but MSI's GX70 makes it work by harnessing the graphics power of an HD 8970M. This is packed into a 17.3″ notebook that costs just $1300.
After long claiming that it was interested in entering the Canadian market, Verizon has offered $700 million for Wind Mobile and is supposedly in talks with Mobilicity When the Canadian government began a wireless spectrum auction in 2008, many were hopeful that new competition would emerge, giving Canadian subscribers more options in our overpriced cell [...]
SHIELD is a grand experiment to integrate various elements of NVIDIA's product stack into a single cohesive device that transcends previous handheld gaming devices. It does this by integrating ecosystems from Android, the PC and online HD streaming in new and interesting ways.
Much like the Computexes of the past two years, tablets have been in the spotlight at Computex 2013. The event's keynotes, from the likes of ASUS, AMD, and Intel have all been focused on outlining the respective company's plans to conquer the mobile space. As such, virtually every company that has the mandate and capability [...]
There once was a time when Intel was in crisis mode. While it could make a damn fine processor that ran circles around its competition in speed tests, growth in that sector is non-existent thanks to the market shifting towards a mobile centric growth structure. If Intel didn't move with the market, it wouldn't necessarily [...]
Coming off the success of last year's Nexus 7, ASUS came to Computex 2013 with a strong lineup of 7 and 10 inch tablets. These are meant to be strong follow-ups to last year's products while also providing competition for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Tab 3 which will be available in 8″ and 10.1″ sizes. ASUS [...]
For a while it looked as if Tegra 4 was going to be dead on arrival. While NVIDIA put on an impressive performance when it first launched the chip earlier this year, OEMs largely said "no thanks" and most passed on putting the SoC in their gear. Fast forward to Computex in Taipei, and its [...]
Though Computex doesn't officially begin until tomorrow in Taiwan, ASUS has already announced what is sure to be one of the more innovative products of the show: the Transformer Book Trio. What makes the Transformer Book Trio interesting is its hybrid nature — hyped before the show as WeTransform — as a notebook, tablet, and [...]
MSI's new GX60 and GX70 both use the Richland A10-5750M while offering affordable gaming performance for $1400 and less. With gaming notebooks rapidly gaining ground as desktop replacement devices, MSI has partnered with AMD to offer a pair of new laptops which leverage the features of Richland alongside some impressive graphics horsepower. At the [...]

Just to get an idea of how things are shaping up... because much like height/weight percentiles, reading levels don't really seem to mean what they used to. So, a poll: what is your first grader's reading level?
Just to get an idea of how things are shaping up... because much like height/weight percentiles, reading levels don't really seem to mean what they used to. So, a poll: what is your first grader's reading level?
I don't know... she reads Pony Pal books and Box Car Children books but I don't know what level that puts her at.
Nothing fancy Mom of 4 :-)
"To everything there is a season." Ecc. 3:1
I should add... I'm not planning to comment, just curious to see the distribution of votes.
I'm not sure what grade level it is. They do DRA reading levels, so it would be somewhere between top of first grade/bottom of second.
~ Bree
Jaedon can read just about anything. He regularly reads books at a 5th grade level. However, his comprehension is at 2nd-3rd grade level unless it's something that he's really interested in.
ETA: I should probably add that he's tested gifted, so he's somewhat out of the box in these polls.

There better not be a Mickey onesie in that bag...
Laurie - that's ok, I'm interested in the distribution, and that covers everyone... below target, above target, on target. I'm just curious.
Where are you, though, that they test for giftedness already? Schools here don't do that until 3rd grade, I think, maybe because that's around the time the "early starter" advantage wears off and kids all sort of catch up. Fortunately, I don't think either of my girls are gifted.
Emily, I have no way to formally assess her reading level since we're homeschooling, but she can read all of the Level 1 - 4 readers, but it still scared to undertake the short chapter books. She's almost there, though. She'll probably start with the short chapter books after Christmas - when she'll get some new books. She is using 2nd grade reading curriculum and is not really "challenged" by it.

Camille is just starting to really read. I "guess" she reads at a first grade level. When her report card came home just before Thanksgiving, her marks were all "preforms at grade level" for all subjects. (They mark on 3 level, at grade level, progressing toward grade level, and needs support)
Emily, like yours, our school doesn't test for "giftedness" until about 3rd grade. That's when they believe kids seem to level out (apparently, until then, kids learn at different rates so it really hard to tell) I don't plan to have Camille tested (I don't imagine she's "gifted" either, thankfully). She seems to be doing fine in school.
Mom to Camille (6) and Jon Paul (3) both gifts through the miracle of adoption.
Caitlyn started first grade way behind because of the K she went to (and me, I guess). She couldn't read much, and at the school she's in now, they definitely learn to read well in K. She's caught up really well since school has started, though. She read 30 books for this March of Dimes fundraiser they had last month and that really helped her a lot, I think. I'd say she's on level now. She still reads pretty choppy, but is getting better. Her confidence is her biggest issue. When she's in a negative mood, she can't do anything.

Madeline taught herself to read at 4 years old so she is way above grade level. Trying to find chapter books that are age appropriate for her are getting harder and harder to find! She just devours books and her comprehension is pretty high also. Now handwriting, OTOH, is another story......
Amy, mama to Madeline 8/04 and Allison 12/05
Classic. Comfortable. Cute.
Amy - we got sidetracked talking about children's books in general (favorite topic of mine), and the teacher mentioned that issue for her top readers. My coworker had trouble w/that too. Nina wasn't reading at all until she started K, so it hasn't been a problem for us, at least not yet. Plus she prefers drawing to reading and doesn't spend much free time reading. I know my mom constantly took me to the library (I taught myself at 4 as well). Too bad I don't remember what I was reading at this age.
Nina's handwriting is atrocious. LOL! I think she'd be fine if she'd slow down, but she's a whirlwind like her dad.

Memory performance
I'm not really comfortable benchmarking retail hardware with a beta operating system or drivers, but I made an exception for Sandra's memory bandwidth test to show off what a NUMA-aware OS can do for the Thunder K8W's memory bandwidth. I used the publicly available Windows XP-64 beta and a plain 32-bit version of SiSoft Sandra 2004.
With NUMA enabled in WinXP-64, the Thunder K8W doubles its memory bandwidth and scores over 9500MB/sec. In short, NUMA rules. Unfortunately, the only operating systems to support AMD64 NUMA are beta versions of Windows and a handful of Linux distributions.
Looking at our 32-bit results, the Tiger K8W's memory bandwidth is disappointing. Given that all three boards are using the same Opteron integrated memory controller, I expected the Tiger to be more competitive.
The Tiger's lackluster performance continues in Cachemem's bandwidth tests, but the results are a little closer this time. The Thunder K8W leads the field in read memory bandwidth, but it's slightly behind the K8T Master2 in write bandwidth.
In Cachemem's memory latency test, the Thunder K8W comes out on top again, trailed by the K8T Master2 and the Tiger K8W.
Disk controller performance
Our disk controller performance tests use a Maxtor 740X-6L 7,200RPM hard drive for "parallel" ATA (PATA) and a Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 10,000RPM hard drive for Serial ATA (SATA). Because we use different drives for PATA and SATA, scores aren't comparable between the two. PATA scores should only be compared with each other. The same goes for SATA scores.
The boards are all closely matched in terms of "parallel" ATA disk performance, but the K8T Master2's south bridge Serial ATA offers much faster burst speeds than the K8Ws' PCI-bound Sil 3114 SATA controller.
Disk access times are closely matched across the board, but the K8T Master2 comes out ahead again when we look at CPU utilization. The K8Ws' Sil 3114 SATA controller is particularly greedy with CPU cycles.

After they asked me to bring the truck in, I immediately took it to Danny's at about 1:00 p.m. I returned at 6:00 p.m., when the business closes, to be met with a line manager. I was advised the truck was not finished, and I would need to bring it back the following day. I looked inside of it, to find it saturated with cleaning solvents and other materials I have not a clue were. I needed the truck to take care of business the following morning, so arguing, not that it would have done any good, was out of the question. My wife drove her truck home, very disappointed the job was not completed.
When my wife turned on her car stereo, it no longer worked. It worked fine before Danny's family wrecking crew got a hold of it. I called their corporate office to be greeting by an automated answering service. I left a message - we'll see how it goes.
I usually don't say things like this, but I guess I have to agree with the reviews on this site regarding Danny's Family Car Wash. I am very disappointed. My advice is to take your car somewhere else. This is poor service at its worst.

Rain washed out play on day two of the LV= County Championship Division Two match between Hampshire and Worcestershire at the Ageas Bowl.
The hosts are therefore set to resume on 37 for three tomorrow, after bad weather also restricted play to just 8.5 overs on day one.
Hampshire captain Jimmy Adams is unbeaten on 32 and Will Smith one, following two wickets so far for Chris Russell - including that of England Test opener Michael Carberry for a duck - and one for 21-year-old championship debutant seamer Charlie Morris.

Laughable ............. FSG out!!!
Hi there Steer,
I don't know what mel said previously but I think your "Sterling, Skrtel and Agger," example missed the point. I think you need to look outward rather than inward, it's about selling 'Project Liverpool' to potential new signings and convincing them that the club is ambitious and are serious about challenging for top honours as Liverpool used to do. In the current climate where the likes of City, Chelsea and PSG are willing to offer top class players ridiculous wages in order to sign for them, most agents won't even listen to any offer from Liverpool because they know that they can get their clients better financial package elsewhere , and also maximised their own agents fees. We lost RVP, Clichy, Nasri, Toure, Ashley Cole because they were convinced that they can get better offers at other clubs. If Liverpool pursue their basic wage plus performance-related bonus policy, they stand the risk of losing key players in future like Arsenal did when it's time to renegotiate the players expiring deals and their agents have had better package outside the club than Liverpool are offering their clients.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Oh btw, I'm one of those Arsenal fans who still believes that clubs should live within their means but pragmatic enough to realise that the current Arsenal model is doomed to fail unless every club sign up to the FFP charter, I believe that this is only way forward and the most viable way to ensure fair competition and level playing field for all.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jan 18, 2013 16:13 Flag
I take your point that it's not just about retaining your best players it's also about attracting the best players from other clubs to join. But I do think it's a fair barometer of a clubs contracts to consider how players who are in demand react when offered these deals.
Agger, Skrtel, and Sterling, along with others like Suarez who's recently signed a new deal were all in demand at other clubs, but still re-signed for us which tells me we got it right. On the other hand for comparisons sake, Fabrigas, Nasri, and RVP did not re-sign which suggests Arsenal did not, although maybe the good news for you that Walcott is staying suggests they've changed the contract structure.
Now time will tell if these contracts will attract additional players, but it seems Sturridge had no issue with it. But it seems obvious to me we're not talking about £1000 per week deals like Mel would have you believe, but competitive base salaries with incentives to make even more.
But, my final point is to agree with you that competing with the likes of City and Chelsea on money alone is near impossible unless or until FFP really kicks in. So I'd suggest why try. I mean do you really want a Remy who is willing to go to QPR just for a payday and an escape clause in case they go down, or would you prefer someone who has a vested interest in the clubs success. Now maybe that means we can't have a squad of 20 mercenaries all on £150K plus a week, but then the more players who are fighting hard for the club on £75K or less means more room for one or two who really do command the pay-packets north of £100K.

I actually agree with you on both points here. I do think clubs do need to live within their means, not because of FFP or just to create a more level competitive playing field, but because is should prevent the collapses we've seen at the likes of Leeds, Pompy or Rangers which is bad not just for those clubs, but imo bad for football generally. The fact it also prevents someone just buying a toy and purchasing the league is a nice byproduct.
But I also think Arsenal have been getting it wrong because they've been looking to short term and not taken the longer strategic view. It seems to me to be more than just living by your means but a philosophy of not paying what players are worth. Now maybe the gunners could not afford to keep all the players who've left recently, but they've hardly spent the profits they made of them either which suggests it's not just about not spending what you don't have, but an unwillingness by someone (Wenger or the board who knows) to even spend what you have.
Now maybe that is about to change with Wenger saying he's willing to spend big, but we've heard that before and not see anything happen. On the other hand while FSG may not have spent as much as what some fans wish, they have done what they said they would do. Since they came in they've have invested, and invested in players we hope will be with the club a long time, but only time will tell if it's enough or not.

Improving Localized Marketing: Simple Suggestions to Improve a Local Profile
With a number of companies looking to build their total marketing profiles online these days, many businesses seemingly hit the wrong target points. For small businesses and restaurants, a failure to focus on some local marketing techniques can also lead to a failure to experience full potential and returns on business development and technology efforts. Engaging in social media efforts are a must for any business trying to improve its digital footprint these days, but even more so for those trying to improve their local footprint. With localization of social media efforts, it's always crucial to have a profile that's … Continue reading Improving Localized Marketing: Simple Suggestions to Improve a Local Profile

People across the socioeconomic and geographical spectrum need a diverse range of financial services to run their businesses, build assets, and manage risks or emergencies. People need access to such basic financial services as savings, loans, money transfer services and insurance.
Timor-Leste is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia with high rates of both poverty and unemployment. The poor and low-income population is at present largely excluded from access to financial services and thus forms the core target group for the development of an inclusive finance sector.
In Timor-Leste, Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme (PFIP) helps oversee the implementation of the The Inclusive Finance for the Under-served Economy (INFUSE) Programme through provision of technical support and expertise. The INFUSE Programme is funded by UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Timor Leste, the Government of Timor-Leste and the Australian Government's Aid Programme.
The overarching goal of the INFUSE Programme is to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, in particular Goal 1 of cutting absolute poverty in Timor-Leste by one third by 2015, by increasing sustainable access to financial services for the poor and low-income people, both male and female.
In Timor-Leste there are a number of challenges to building an inclusive financial sector, including a focus on credit-led models, as well as inexperienced human resources, infrastructure, regulations, and financial literacy levels. The INFUSE programme was launched to address some of these gaps.
INFUSE provides support to a range of stakeholders including financial service providers, business support service providers, technical service providers and the regulatory authority in an effort to increase access to financial services for the Timorese people.

Prospect Watch: Big Time
Its tough, when you happen to be seven feet tall, to hide.
But in the 10 weeks since NBA teams broke camp and the season began, thats whats happened to the NBA Development Leagues best post players. Of the 17 GATORADE Call-Ups that happened after the initial 12-man rush out of NBA training camp, only four have been true big men. Five if you count L.A. D-Fenders forward Malcolm Thomas which, for solidaritys sake, we will. Point guards have been the prize. Swing men, the second serving.
But things are well, things are about to get painful. With seven weeks left until the start of the NBA Playoffs, a season that's already been condensed is about to get accordioned. And as the stretch grows more physical, big men are likely to bear the brunt.
Luckily for NBA teams, the NBA D-Leagues slowly re-stocked its paint patrol. By far the leagues weakest point just six weeks ago, suddenly the NBA D-League features at least a half-dozen NBA-ready post players and, in case of emergency, a full list of 10 guys that can come up and blockade the lane.
So, this week, its time to think big. Here are the top 10 Prospects in the NBA D-League standing 6-foot-9 or above.
In two games with the Spurs this year, Dawson averaged 4.5 points and 3.5 rebounds. But the numbers are a little misleading: Dawson saw 32 of his eventual 34 minutes in his debut, when he scored nine points with six boards in San Antonios loss to Portland on Feb. 21. Youll remember that game as the night Gregg Popovich sat Tim Duncan and Tony Parker to get them a breather heading into All-Star weekend, but Dawson may remember that game as the one that proved he can hang and bang in the NBA.
He returns to the Toros as one of the top two rebounders in the NBA D-League (Tulsas Marcus Lewis is No. 1), and hes already averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds in the two games hes played since coming back to Austin. At 6-foot-9, hes not tall enough to be considered a viable NBA center (at least not yet), but he could be an effective 4-man off the bench.
Thomas didn't stick with the Spurs, but he should get a shot with somebody else before long mostly because nobody seems to be able to get a shot off with him around. He went up to San Antonio in mid-January on the strength of his ability to sky and swat (and the Spurs near-complete inability at that time), and ever since coming back to L.A. later that month, hes done more of the same. Hes also picked up his rebounding, pulling down 10.1 boards a game over his last seven, after averaging only 6.2 in his first five after returning to the D-Fenders.
Lyons has swiftly turned himself into the leagues most explosive power forward. He wont be called to the NBA to handle the scoring load, but, in a pinch, hes got enough size and the ability to get to the hoop combined with a solid perimeter game uncommon for players of his size to get an extra 6-to-8 points a night. However, his ticket to the NBA will come from his ability to throw his body around down low, a willingness hes shown with an 18-rebound night, two 16-board nights and three more double-digit efforts in his last nine games.
Hamadys not there yet. On the plus side, hes built like a silo. On the downside, hes got the offensive abilities of one, too. The all-time shot-blocking leader in Rutgers history can defend around the rim as well as any big man in the NBA D-League, but he still gets himself out of position far too often, and thus struggles with foul trouble.
That said, the former Washington Wizard is averaging 2.25 blocks per game in 12 NBA D-League games this year including a stint with the Iowa Energy earlier this season that began with an eight-rejection effort against Sioux Falls on Jan. 6. Given his size and athleticism, hes far from the post player he could be, but theres room to grow: the Senegal-born Ndiaye didnt start playing basketball until high school.
Caracter saw time in 41 games with the Lakers last year, but didn't crack the lineup in 2011-12. Now, after getting waived by L.A., on Feb. 7, hes the property of Nick Nurse and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. His story's a long one -- longer than we'd care to lay out here, although the Times is up to the task - but the talents there. As elite a combination of size and skill as youll find in the NBA D-League, hell need to prove that his reputation for taking nights off is a thing of the past in order to make sure he can be the big man of somebodys future.
Seeing Bobby Simmons earn a call-up last week had to be a little frustrating for Moore, whos turned back into a dominant center of late. However, theres reason to see it as encouraging, too, for the 7-foot veteran of 11 NBA seasons.
First, Moore and Simmons (whod already had nine NBA seasons under his belt heading into this year) had similar stats during their time in the NBA D-League this year (Simmons was at 13.5 ppg and 7.6 rpg before his call-up; Moores at 12.5 and 8.1, respectively). Second, as NBA teams seek some sort of continuity in their line-ups, NBA-tested Prospects have taken some precedence over the uninitiated in earning call-ups this year. Moore never had the ceiling the Simmons did, but hes still seven feet tall and, after some early questions, can clearly still move.
Foote can take over a game. He just doesnt do it nearly often enough to be considered an elite big man, yet. However, hes taken massive strides (figuratively; at 7 feet tall, he already took literal ones) under Bob MacKinnon in Springfield, going from a wait-til-next-year Prospect coming out of Nets camp to a potential post presence down the line for an NBA team in need. Hell get pushed around by bigger bodies and wont block a ton of shots, but he can fly up and down the court and tends to take good care of the ball on the low block.
Benson, the Atlanta Hawks only pick in the 2011 NBA Draft (at 48th overall), was the final player cut from Hawks camp. Since then, hes quietly moved up the charts of the NBA D-Leagues premier post players. He got a late start in the league, after the Skyforce picked him up in late January, but ever since then hes done exactly what got him a look from the Hawks in the first place: swat.
Bensons every bit as good a shot blocker as NDiaye or Thomas, and probably a better rebounder than both (7.5 rpg in only 28.5 mpg). Although hes still got a way to go in terms of filling out his 6-foot-11 frame, the two-time Summit Conference Player of the Year and all-time shot-block leader in Oakland University history has the sort of spring and raw ability that could provide a big defensive boost to an NBA lineup.
Gilders already played two seasons in the NBA D-League. But none like this one. Not only is he scoring three more points a game than he had in any previous stint (and shooting better than 50 percent from the field once again), hes also backing up those numbers with rebounding and defensive stats that show how much his game has grown. Before this year, hed never pulled down more than 5.6 rebounds per game in a season.
This time around, hes just a hair shy of eight per game. Meanwhile, hes blocking an average of 1.4 shots and coming up with 1.4 steals a night while shooting the best free throw percentage of his career. Gilders only 6-foot-9, 185 pounds, but the versatility he provides on both sides of the floor make him analogous to a player like Larry Owens, who went up to New Jersey on a 10-day contract earlier this year.
Andrews, like most of the bigs on this list, can still use a lot of seasoning. But, as weve seen in the past, he couldnt be in a better place for it. D-Fenders coach Eric Musselman has only added to his status as NBA launching pad, sending prospect after prospect to the Show during his time in the NBA D-League and CBA before that. This year, hes already sent five players up.
As for Andrews, hell be getting a steady diet of Musselmans gospel of consistency. The big-bodied (6-9, 230), big-leaping (he soared in the 2012 NBA D-League Slam Dunk Contest) NBA D-League All-Star has had his struggles with night-in, night-out performance, but hes the kind of body that could clog up an NBA lane with ease, and the kind of athlete thatd make life tough on his fellow forwards.
Ten-day contracts make for a sort of revolving door in the NBA D-League, where Top Prospects vary from week-to-week, as contracts either expire or begin to kick in. And, in case you werent hawking the transactions page, here are the names you might have missed (Eric Dawson and Hamady Ndiaye excluded):
Ben Uzoh, PG, Rio Grande Valley Vipers: Formerly the leagues No. 1 Prospect before a call-up to the Cavaliers, Uzohs been back with the Vipers since Feb. 21. He remains the most athletic point guard in the league, and an absolute defensive menace, so look for him to take his services back to the Show sooner than later.
Andre Emmett, SG, Reno Bighorns: Had the All-Star break not happened right at the end of Emmetts 10-day contract with the Nets, the Bighorns star might still be up with the Nets. However, with Jersey not wanting to waste four days of a 10-day without any games going on, hes back in Reno.
Donald Sloan, PG, Erie BayHawks: Sloan got a second 10-day contract from New Orleans, but the Hornets didnt pick him up for a guaranteed contract. It was impressive enough that Sloan stuck around for two runs in NOLA with an array of point guards ahead of him on the depth chart but the Hawks and Hornets both liked what they saw from him this year, and as long as he keeps progressing on offense, hes looking like somebody with a bright NBA future.
Squeaky Johnson, PG, Austin Toros: The fleet-footed Johnsons been back with the Toros since the Hornets waived him ahead of the guaranteed contract deadline, and hes teamed up with Justin Dentmon since then to create the NBA D-Leagues best 1-2 punch at the point. Just like Dentmon, Johnson will always be a little undersized (at 5-11), but he continues to show the knack for defense and distribution that got him an NBA call-up in the first place.

Sitting up high on the dune, yet right at the back door of the ocean, you will find that you are watchers from the hill. Tastefully decorated and spacious throughout, Watch Hill is the place for your family to relax, unwind, be together and yet time for each to find their own beach identity. Watch Hill is located on the highest point on the island with stunning views of the ocean, Frying Pan Shoals and the Maritime Forest. There are several wonderful porches for quiet times, reading a book, making some down time, and lazy afternoon naps. The bunk room is exceptional for a teen or kids hideaway. One to talk at night of the great beach day. A large picnic table is off the lower level for some great family outdoor eating gatherings. With spacious bedrooms and the reverse floor plan, this home has it all. And is just steps to the ocean. Sleeps 13 (max.). 5 bedrooms (1K-1Q-1Q-1PB-2BB). 4 full baths. 1 half bath. (1) 6 passenger and (2) 4 passenger carts (One 4 passenger cart offers space for extra cargo.). High speed internet. One minute to beach access. Sunday/Sunday. 5:30 p.m. arrival/11:30 a.m. departure.
We really did have a wonderful stay at Watch Hill while visiting Baldhead Island for a family wedding. The wedding was beautiful and the weather could not have been better. We sincerely appreciate the extra care and service provided by Terry at BHI Property Management, including making our tram reservations and meeting us at the ferry. The unique activities available at BHI were great for the wedding, such as the croquet party at the BHI club on Friday afternoon that our grandson especially enjoyed. The wedding was held at the BHI chapel followed by a reception at the BHI club. The facilities, food and service for the wedding were amazing. We also found time to visit the heated pool at the BHI club and had breakfast one morning at the Pelicatessen (spelling might need work). We had a pretty full house at Watch Hill but were very comfortable. We put the kitchen to good use a couple of evenings and had a family brunch the morning after the wedding. The view from the porch is stunning. The only problem was possibly fighting to keep your rocking chair! You can easily walk from the cottage to the Shoals Club which we did a couple of times for exercise. We all loved the cottage and Baldhead Island. We only wish we could have stayed longer. As a personal note, I grew up camping and fishing on Baldhead Island with my Dad. I have very fond memories of those adventures and am grateful that there is some of that original natural beauty still preserved. I have visited Baldhead many times but must say this was one of my favorites. Thanks again.

How can Kevin Ball Defend Dan Smith tackle on the Arsenal midfielder, fractured ankle torn ligaments and dislocation and out for nine months he tried two similar tackles on Fabrigas and Dayboiu before the vicous tackle. I would not have players such as Smith if I were manager
bally is defending smith because its the right thing to do. if he thought the challenge was out of order he'd defend him in public and discipline the lad behind the scenes. fergie, mourinho and wenger do it that way as well; thats just the way it works. and lets not forget this lad is totally inexperienced at 1st team level and was more than likely trying too hard to make an impression. to me, thats all it was.

I have had such fun learning to identify the types of butterflies in my yard. These pictures of butterflies will help you name some common butterfly types.
Swallowtail Butterflies have long tails.
Identify Sulphurs and Whites by their colors.
Brush-footed Butterflies are a large group.
Monarchs are Milkweed Butterflies.
We often see Skippers and Moths.
Swallowtail Butterflies have long tails.
Identify Sulphurs and Whites by their colors.
Brush-footed Butterfliesare a large group.
Monarchs are Milkweed Butterflies.
We often see Skippers and Moths.
The blush on the hind-wings may be blue or white
The Giant Swallowtail Butterfly is almost six inches in length.
It has bright yellow and black markings on the top of the wings.
It is pale yellow with black on the underside.
Some Tiger Swallowtail females are a dark form
Sulphurs and Whites are the most common type of butterflies.
They are just like their names imply, either white or sulphur yellow.
They are smaller than the large swallowtails, but more numerous.
I would always see the whites in the farm fields of California.
Here in Florida many times I see them on the roadside plants.
You can tell it by the distinctive blue tip on their antennas.
When they fly, they don't float, they are always flapping their wings.
The front legs of the Brush-footed Butterflies look a bit like a brush.
They walk and stand mainly on their back legs.
Longwing Butterflies
Longwings are part of the group of Brush-footed Butterflies,
but who looks at their feet. It is easier to see their long wings.
The wings of the Longwings are much longer then they are wide.
They live several months, longer than other butterflies.
They are the Florida State Butterfly.
More Butterfly Facts
Another longwing butterfly is the Gulf Fritillary Butterfly.
It is a common type of butterflies here in Florida.
They have orange wings with dark spots, but they have no
definite vein markings.
You may think they are different types of butterflies until you see both sides.
They have large silvery spots on the underside of their wings.
Sometimes called the Orange Longwing.
The Painted and Virginia Ladies are more of the Brush-footed types of butterflies.
They have very interesting patterns on the underside of their wings.
The Virginia Lady Butterfly has a large eye-spot on the back wings.
The Painted Lady lacks the eye-spot.
I often see Buckeyes in the grass when I am mowing.
It is commonly seen in grassy areas in the East
It has a heavy band on the hind-wing.
No such band exists on Monarchs.
They are one of the best known types of butterflies.
This type of butterfly gets a chemical from the milkweeds that make them taste bad to predators.
Top side lacks the black veins of the Monarch.
Underside of Queen resembles the Monarch.
But the Monarch doesn't have white spots out in the orange fore-wing.
Skippers are small type of butterfly they 'skip' in a hurry from flower
to flower.
Their wings are small in proportion to their body, so they have to fly in a hurry.
There are hundreds of skippers that are difficult for the amateur to distinguish.
Below are three outstanding types that are easy to identify.
We often see moths around our lights at night time.
They look fuzzy or furry because their wing scales stand up.
Learn more ways to tell the Difference between Moths and Butterflies.
The Luna Moth is a beautiful green color.
Whether you know the names and types of butterflies
when you see them is not as important as enjoying them.
It is fun to learn the different butterfly types in your yard!
