At this point, we've now got our scene basically set up. We've got our building in a new environment. we've made some corrections to it. Now comes the storytelling aspect of this. And, when I was putting this together I got essentially to this point and I started to try to think, you know, what can I do to this to add a level, a new level of interest, a storytelling so to speak. One of the tricks that an artist will often employ is what I call connecting the dots. And, I'm going to probably actually use that in a couple different meanings as we go through this course.
What I'm referring to at this point is, you can put things into a scene in such a manner, some of it has to do with the actual content, what they are, how you compose them within the scene, how they are relating to one another, based on that composition. All of these things can come together, so that the parts start to add up to a greater whole. And in this case, what we want to do is, start to build a storytelling element or a set of elements here, that will lead the reader into the image to where they start seeing relationships between these elements.
And the way these relationships are positioned within the image, the viewer can actually start to create a story in their own mind. You may have a specific story you're telling, but part of the enjoyment of art is that each person takes away from it something different. So, you can have two people standing right next to the same image looking at it, and when you asked each one of them, what's the story you get out of looking at this? You'd be amazed how you could get two totally different stories. And that's OK, because that's part of what you're trying to do here, is just you're trying to open the viewer up to interpreting things.
And how they interpret it is up to them, and that brings them into the scene. So, I've got some image elements that I want to work with here, and let's start with one that's a little difficult to deal with, that's this one. I need to cut this out. Now, when I shot this, this is actually a little model. It's very small, it's only like three inches tall. And I shot it intentionally on a fairly neutral background, because I knew by doing so, I could take advantage of a Selection tool in Photoshop to be able to grab this very quickly.
You'll remember when I cut out the castle earlier, I was really promoting the Pen tool. Now, you could do this with the Pen tool, but look at how many little negative counterspaces there are within this image. It would take you a long time to isolate and describe each one of these with the Pen tool, so that you eventually end up with just the tricycle. And so, by putting it on this background, I can take advantage of the Select menu's Color Range tool. And let's go through, and I'll show you how easily you can do this.
Now, what it lets me do is I can start to select colors, and you can see I've almost isolated the tricycle. There's some other stuff going on here. So, to start to include more of this tonality, I'm just going to hold down my Shift key. And you can now see how that's created a plus. And by referring to the image, I can start to see like, there's some grays in here that aren't captured. Let's grab right there, and now we've got some shadows. I can start to get rid of most of them. I can see I'm just starting to, some of the same tonalities that were in an area I've selected, are now starting to grab some of the highlights in here.
So I don't want to go any further. The rest of it I will do by hand. I can later on erase that shadow. But let's go ahead and say OK, and what I've now done is selected this neutral background. So I've selected everything but the trike. So what I need to do is invert that selection. So if I just do Shift+Command or Control+I, that inverts that selection. So now we've inverted the selection. And one thing I could do at this point, because we do have some areas where that selection is there.
If I grab my Lasso tool, and go in here, and hold down the Shift key, I can now include some of these areas in here that were missing. So now, I'll just go around where I see a few of these marching ants inside my selection, and I think those are the big offenders. So, I've now got this cut out, or ready to cut out. So I'm going to do Command or Control+C, and let's go over to our castle image, and I'm going to do a Command or Control+V to paste it. It happened to be in a different color space, but we're just going to go ahead and say OK.
It's just making it be in the same Adobe RGB that the rest of the image is in. So let's go ahead and move this guy down here. And now, to resize it, I'm just going to use the Transform tool. So Command or Control+T, holding down the Shift key will constrain that to the same aspect ratio. And let's just pick this up and kind of position it, maybe just a little bigger. Something like that. And so I'm going to hit the Return key, and we've now got this in place.
The next thing I'm going to do is, I have another element, which is this ball. And I've already pre-selected it. So all I need to do at this point, is, do a Command or Control+C to copy it. We go back to our image, and we paste, and once again, it's out of scale. So doing the same trick here with the Transform tool, I'll just reduce this in scale. Something about, it would seem like about that size. So I'm just kind of estimating here what I would think these would be, scale-wise in this scene.
Now, we've reduced this ball in size. But you'll notice that, remember our lighting is coming from somewhere off here to the left side. And this ball is lit as if it's from the right side. So I need to correct that. So all I need to do is make sure I've selected the ball. And let's go into Edit. We'll transform. And all I want to do, at this case, is just flip it horizontal. See, now we've got shadow and highlight on this consistent with the rest of the scene, and it all seems to be in place. The other thing I could quickly do here is, I'm just going to select the layer between the castle, and between these two objects we've just added.
So I've got a new blank layer. I can go ahead and take a Airbrush tool, make it a little larger here, and get black. So we've got black here. And I'm just going to reduce my opacity down, way down, to maybe something like, around 15, 20%, and I'm just going to airbrush a little bit of shadowing in here. It doesn't have to be perfect, because again, we're going to paint it, but I just want to have it in there as reference, so when I do paint, I'll remember that I have a little bit of shadow in here.
And you can see, I'm actually using a very crude brush to do this, but it's just enough to give a sense of grounding of this element so that they seem like they're in the scene. Remember, painting all of this is going to change the character of all this anyway. And the last element I want to grab is this little girl. And I already pre-cut her out, so let's go ahead and copy and go back to our image, and paste. And I want to put her in that window. So, she's obviously too large.
So we're going to do a couple things here. Let's reduce her opacity. I'm just, I'm in the Move tool. And by pressing on the 5 key in this case, that reduces her to 50%. So I can see her but I can also see the background. And that means that I can now go ahead and play with transforming her down to a scale that would be appropriate for this window. And I guess it would be something like that. So let's go ahead and commit by hitting our Return key. And I'm just going to grab my Eraser tool.
Enlarge it a little bit here, and just erase this just so that she's peeking out of the window without being in front of it. So, right about like that. OK. And she looks like maybe she's a little large, so I'm going to take her down just a little bit more. About like that. And then I'll use, while I'm in the Move tool, I can use my arrow keys here, and I'll just use that to place her. Something like that. And, when I did this the first time, it turned out by having her opaqueness down like this, around 50%, it does a couple of things.
One, it makes her seem like she's on the other side of that window, rather than just being that, that just seems too, too much in the foreground. So, reducing her Opacity makes her seem behind the window, but the secondary effect it had on me when I look at it is, it almost seems like she's a ghost, you know. Is she there, real? Or is she there as an apparition? And when we combine that with the rest of the elements we've put in there, we're now starting to have a bit of a story going on. You know, we've got these toys out here.
And they're obvious. We see those, they're bright colors. They're eye-- the eye is attracted to them. So as the viewer is going to read this image, they're going to spend time looking at this. And it may actually take them a while to encounter this little waif up here in the window. And what's kinda neat about that is, it's like she wasn't there, but boom, it's there. And so there's, there's this kind of apparition quality about it. And so, as we look at this image, you start to wonder, you know, is, is that a girl from long ago? And she's wishing she could be out playing with her toys? You know, what is the story behind this? And it isn't a precise story.
It's a story open to interpretation, particularly kind of this ghostly apparition sort of thing that happened when I reduced her opacity. So I like that. And I felt, that's kind of the storytelling element that's going on in here, is, you're not sure of, you know, the reality of her. Is she really there, or is it an apparition? You know, whatever. But that opens up an interesting storytelling element to the story. So now, we've got our story. We've got all of our elements prepared.
In the next chapter, we're going to start looking at how to adjust the tonality of all this so that it kind of really starts to interlock together really precisely. So that's what we'll be doing when we move on to the next chapter.

When signing up, use an easy password, and change it later. Some folks had trouble with complicated password during signup.
Disclaimer: I don't work for, nor am I anyway associated with urlhasbeenblocked. I have one VPS with this company, and I paid $40 for it. They aren't giving me anything. Yes, I know they should, but they haven't.
What is this, you may ask? It is an online Linux computer that you have root access to, and can install and run practically anything. Read the TOS, 'cause that doesn't include P2P sharing, folding, bit coin mining, seti stuff, and anything else stupid like that, that might kill the performance for everyone else.
Anyways, like I said, you get root access to a Linux box, and when you screw that up, no problem, they give you a control panel that lets you reinstall a new OS in minutes. Pretty cool. With a small effort, you can even vnc into it with a full GUI.
Don't expect the world from this, you get more than you pay for. Think twice before you bet your business on this, although I think there are people that do.

If you're on osx:
* http://xquartz.macosfo
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
you can then basically run any GUI based application through ssh on your local box in an environment you're already comfortable with. it gives you the best of both worlds... being in a GUI you know and running applications as if you're on the remote server. the cool thing about doing this is you're not trying to run an intense 1024x768 window @ 16/32bit color with the latency from their location to yours... while minor (30ms-70ms) its still noticable... it's easier to use the above methods... once you get it running it's pretty awesome and should fit 99% of what people need to do if they're buying a $40/y option. this should also make applications pretty snappy since you're only using resources required for individual applications vs. running a full blow kde/gnome/etc environment.

Q. What ports should I open on a firewall in order to accommodate PPTP tunnels?
A. Open these ports.
IP Protocol/47 GRE
I'd personally try it with just 1723 open and see if it works first before opening GRE.
FYI, My network buddies all say PPTP is horribly outdated and broken, easy to hack into.
And — that it's apparently an impossible concept that people new to SD might find a deal that looked good on here and then sign up for SD?
Also, accusations that people are here to secretly represent Chicago VPS is ridiculous. Some of the people who post positive reviews include people like me and the OP who have been on SD for years, have a high post count, and a high rep count. It's a little improbable that all of these people were hired by Chicago VPS to post positive reviews, especially when some of us have been here on Slickdeals BEFORE urlhasbeenblocked.net was even registered
You will also have to pay extra for cPanel, if that's what you want, to host your sites.
You will have 100% responsibility of security and backups.
It is 100% on you.
This is a big change, but I figured most of it out without too much trouble. You will probably want to install a control panel - if you want cPanel which is probably what you're used to, that costs $10 a month to license, whereas it's included in most shared hosting accounts. There are a bunch of free control panels though — I went with zPanel which seems to be pretty well supported and gets frequent updates, and as the name suggests includes a lot of the functionality cPanel has. Installing it is pretty easy, but that's something you will need to do yourself. You'll probably also want to install a firewall, which again — you'll need to do yourself. Support from urlhasbeenblocked is going to be very limited — if the problem is on their end, they'll probably fix it, but they won't be able to walk you through setting everything up.
If you have a week or so to figure out what you're doing, this could be a great deal to go for, but if you like to be able to sit back and relax and have everything ready in just a few clicks...you'd be better off sticking with shared hosting.
That is not the smartest thing, mostly due to RAM usage. It's much higher in Windows than Linux, generally. Plus, the license fee for Windows.
What are you looking to do in Windows that you can not or do not want to do in Linux?
I got two VPS and my only regret is that I paid $40 versus $30. I have no use for the second IP address.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will eliminate 25,000 troops from the Army and Air Force this year as a result of cost reductions mandated, in part, by the Gramm-Rudman- Hollings budget law, officials said yesterday.
That reduction - which is unrelated to eased East-West tensions - will shrink the armed forces to their strength at the dawn of the Reagan administration's military buildup in 1981.
"It's certainly significant to the services, but it's not an enormous bite," Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams said. "My impression is that they will be able to absorb most of these cuts by the ordinary forces of people coming and going in the services - attrition and that sort of thing."

According to a September 2010 report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the number of high school athletes taken to hospital ERs due to sports-related concussions has doubled over the last ten yearsAn elbow to the head, a collision with another athlete, a blow from a ball, a tackle or a fall are all some of the reasons why an estimated 10 percent of athletes participating in contact sports suffer a concussion each season.
"Concussions occur when a blow to the head or neck interrupts brain function," explained Pediatrician Banarikammaje Bhat, M.D. "Sports-related concussions are highest in high school-aged athletes, but the number of concussions in younger athletes is significant and rising. In fact, the overall number of concussion cases is thought to be even higher, because the study did not include children with concussions, who were seen in their physician's office or who did not receive any treatment."
A recent report by the Los Angeles Times says that the rise in sports injuries among younger children may be due in part to an increase in participation in "elite travel teams and in competitive youth leagues" across the country. Nearly half of the pediatric patients with sports-related concussions seen in ERs were between the ages of 8-13, the AAP study found. The sports with the highest number of concussions appear to be ice hockey and football, but a significant number also occur in basketball, baseball, and soccer.
"This report points out the increasing evidence that not only are the brains of younger children more susceptible to injury, but these injuries may take longer to heal and can be more damaging than concussions in older adolescents or adults," Dr. Bhat continued. "While awareness about concussions has increased, many parents, coaches and players still don't understand how serious concussions can be.
"There is a common misconception that an athlete only has a concussion if he or she loses consciousness. It is important for coaches, parents and athletes to recognize the signs of a concussion, because many athletes may just have one or two symptoms."
Common signs of a concussion include a headache, which is the most common symptom, dizziness or memory or concentration problems, which many athletes describe as feeling "foggy." Some also may feel sick to their stomachs or have issues with balance.
"If a child has taken a blow to the head and is experiencing one or some of these symptoms, parents and coaches need to assume that the player has suffered a concussion," Dr. Bhat advised. "In addition, concussions may also occur without impact, as a result of the head being shaken. Parents and coaches should err on the side of caution and seek medical evaluation, which is especially important in younger children. It is recommended that no athlete be allowed back into competition on the same day."
According to Dr. Bhat, young athletes are especially vulnerable because their brains are still developing and they may be more susceptible to the effects of a concussion. "Although concussions are more common among older athletes due to the impact of their bigger bodies colliding at higher speeds, concussions have the potential to be more dangerous in younger athletes," he warned.
"Sometimes adults seem less concerned with the injury than with how soon the child can return to sports. However, if the injured child isn't treated properly, then he can have long-term problems like learning difficulties, memory problems or chronic headaches. The treatment for a concussion is mainly rest, both physically and mentally, and to avoid activities that require concentration and focus. This may mean reducing schoolwork and avoiding video games, computer use and TV, which can worsen symptoms.
"Recent research has demonstrated that athletes who have what are commonly considered mild concussions, may no longer experience headaches or other symptoms of concussions but still show significant deficits in processing information. Symptoms of a concussion usually resolve in 7 to 10 days, but some athletes may take weeks or months to fully recover. Retirement from contact sports should be considered for an athlete who has had multiple concussions or who has suffered post-concussive symptoms for more than three months.
"Once an athlete is symptom-free, he or she can progress through increasingly heavy exertion to ensure that there is not a return of symptoms. However, the player should first be evaluated and cleared by a doctor before returning to practice or competition."
There is also a condition called 'second impact syndrome,' which affects children, but is not seen in older athletes. "If a child returns to competition too soon and suffers another head injury, he or she may develop dramatic swelling in the brain and even die following a second injury," Dr. Bhat added.
The AAP study encourages parents and coaches to try to recognize the signs of brain trauma in youth and to get away from the past practice of allowing kids to "tough it out."
"I also emphasize to these adolescents and their parents that they only have one brain, which is a very valuable asset throughout their lives and needs to be protected," Dr. Bhat concluded. "It is OK to miss a game or even a season, instead of risking permanent injury to your brain.
"Part of the difficulty with a concussion is that we have to rely on the athlete to say that he or she is having problems. This is why it is so important for players, parents and coaches to be aware of the symptoms so they can initiate and seek appropriate treatment."
There are several ways to reduce the risk of a concussion, such as using protective gear (like helmets and mouth guards); adhering to the rules of the sport; identifying athletes at risk; and educating parents, teachers, athletes, school administrators and trainers about the dangers of concussions.
Banarikammaje Bhat, M.D., is a board certified pediatrician affiliated with Salem Community Hospital's active medical staff. His office is located at 330 North Market Street in Lisbon, 330- 424-9866.

Football's Coach Lembo Conducts Annual Career Night
Ball State head football coach Pete Lembo (@Pete_Lembo) will be conducting his annual Career Night for the football student-athletes Friday evening.
"Our primary mission as coaches is to fully develop our student-athletes in every aspect of their lives," Lembo says. "Annual events such as Career Night help our players develop a vision for where they might want to go after their Ball State experience ends. Only a small handful of college players make it to the National Football League. Even those special players need a plan for a productive future once their playing days are over. By bringing back former lettermen, we are also educating the current team members about the history and tradition of the football program. Hopefully, this makes our student-athletes more appreciative of the opportunities that we have here today. Career Night also provides a chance for select football alumni to reconnect with the current program in a very meaningful way."
At this year's Career Night, football alums Lloyd Brown, Mike Davis, Keith McKenzie, Steve Monson, Bill Rinehart and Kyle West are scheduled to speak.
Brown is the training and development manager for Monarch Beverage in Indianapolis, Ind. Brown lettered for the Cardinals from 1995-97 and was a part of the 1996 Mid-American Conference Championship team that played in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Davis, who lettered for the Cardinals from 1981-84, was a team captain for Ball State in 1984 and was named Ball State's John Hodge Award recipient as the team's most outstanding freshman in 1981. Davis is the president of Davis/Haslam, Inc., in Noblesville, Ind.

TV Ratings: NBA Finals Game 3 carries ABC past US Open-boosted NBC on Sunday
ABC comfortably wins overall and in the key demo
The third game of the NBA Finals was another tight showdown between the Heat and Thunder and gave ABC another comfortable ratings win, pushing the network past US Open-boosted NBC on Sunday night.
Through three games, this is ABC's highest rated NBA Finals series since 2004.
[Note that with two networks airing live sporting events in primetime for much, but not all, of the country, Sunday ratings are particularly inexact and subject to change.]
For the night, ABC averaged a 4.8 rating among adults 18-49, beating NBC's 2.1 rating by a wide margin in the key demographic. FOX's 1.2 rating and the 0.8 rating for CBS trailed.
Overall, ABC averaged an estimated 11.49 million viewers to go with a 6.6 rating/12 share, far ahead of NBC's 5.4/10 and 8.78 million viewers for Sunday night. CBS was a distant third with 5.39 million viewers and a 3.6/6, with FOX's 1.6/6 and 2.69 million viewers trailing.
[Univision averaged 2.66 million viewers and a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49 for Sunday night.]
7 p.m. - NBC started primetime in first with 10.08 million viewers and a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49 for coverage of the 2012 US Open Golf Championship. CBS was second overall with 7.345 million viewers for "60 Minutes," which was third with a 1.0 key demo rating. ABC's NBA Finals pre-game was third with 5.84 million viewers and a close second with a 2.3 key demo rating. FOX's repeats of "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show" averaged 1.885 million viewers and a 0.9 key demo rating.
8 p.m. - ABC moved into first for the 8 p.m. hour with the start of Game 3 averaging 10.89 million viewers and a 4.4 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's US Open coverage averaged 8.82 million viewers and a 2.1 key demo rating in second. CBS' repeat of "Blue Bloods" was third overall with 5.035 million viewers and fourth with a 0.7 key demo rating. On FOX, repeats of "The Simpsons" and "Bob's Burgers" averaged 2.725 million viewers and came in third with a 1.2 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - The basketball game was up to 13.65 million viewers and a 5.7 rating among adults 18-49 for ABC in the 9 p.m. hour. NBC's golf coverage was also up, averaging 9.39 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo rating. There was a huge drop to CBS' repeat of "The Good Wife" in third overall with 4.22 million viewers and a dismal fourth with a 0.5 key demo rating. FOX's "Family Guy" and "American Dad" repeats averaged 3.45 million viewers and a 1.5 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - The Heat and Thunder helped ABC to 15.59 million viewers and a 6.6 rating among adults 18-49 for the 10 p.m. hour. NBC's golf and a repeat of "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" averaged 6.81 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating in second. CBS' repeat of "The Mentalist" averaged 4.97 million viewers and a 0.8 key demo rating.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

Saints Row 2 Review
If you just want a game that positively encourages you to mess around, we can't recommend Saints Row 2 enough.
One area of GTA 4 that didn't go down well with long-time fans is the driving model. Rockstar ditched the arcade style handling of previous games in favour of a more realistic, heavier driving model. Saints Row feels a lot like older GTAs, with cars able to corner at high speeds and powerslide like you're a stunt car driver. This won't be for everyone, but it fits well within the world Volition has created.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Saints Row 2 is in fact a better game than GTA 4, but slapstick fun can only take a game so far. The plot and storytelling in Saints Row 2 comes nowhere near to the brilliance of Rockstar's game, coming across as rather juvenile in comparison. We're almost certain that this is what Volition wanted to achieve, but that doesn't change the fact that GTA 4 had far more believable characters, a richer storyline and real emotion. Saints Row 2 is arguably the better game to mess about in, but we're unlikely to look back and remember the great moments as we already do with GTA 4.
We don't want to bleat on about GTA 4 versus Saints Row 2, but comparing the two games from a production values point of view is inevitable. GTA 4 took the open world genre to new heights, whereas Saints Row 2 is happy to be serviceable. It's by no means an ugly game, and at times can look rather impressive, but detail in the city is quite minimal, the frame rate is often poor and there are none of the finer details that GTA 4 packed in to strengthen the experience. Streets look barren, characters bland and the city just doesn't feel as alive. Within a few hours with GTA 4 Liberty City felt like home, whereas many of Stilwater's streets blend into one.
We can't really comment on the voice work of the main character with any negativity (we played as a woman with a man's voice), but we can talk about the many NPCs in the game. The key characters are voiced well and fit in with the tone of the game. Lesser characters aren't voiced so well, but you'll probably be too busy dressing your gang as ninjas to notice. The soundtrack, dished out over numerous themed radio stations, is also well put together - our personal favourite being the 80s station. You can't beat going on a murderous rampage to Karma Chameleon.
Saints Row 2's final trick is its multiplayer functionality, which gladly remains fully intact in the PC version of the game. The entire game can be played co-operatively with a friend. The game adjusts enemy health accordingly, and the whole thing is a lot of fun. Perhaps an even bigger surprise is how much fun the territory controlling multiplayer game Strong Arm is. Two teams of four go against each other across seven maps, completing activities and killing opponents to earn money. This money is then used to buy out the neighbourhood. Less original, but equally fun, is the deathmatch mode Gangsta Brawl - playable solo or as teams of up to six players across another set of maps.
Should you buy Saints Row 2? It's down to what kind of gamer you are really, and if you have a really beefy PC or not. We loved it, but if you're someone who takes games very seriously and are looking for a nigh-on carbon copy of GTA 4 this won't be for you. If the idea of childishly laughing every time your character speaks in a completely inappropriate voice sounds fun, or you just want a game that positively encourages you to mess around, we can't recommend Saints Row 2 enough. It's just a shame that this PC version is even rougher around the edges than the already less than perfect home console editions.

At Asia Barn…
Caregiver Melanie tells the story:
Eventually, Billie made her way down and was reunited with Frieda. Lizzie was the last to go, but she certainly appeared to enjoy the meadow once she made it over. For the first time in a long while, Q barn caregivers were able to see all six of our girls in one panoramic view. It's a sight that we will always remember."
"Flora and Tange have been enjoying the outdoors. They are making their way through more trees, leaving a rugged landscape behind. These girls are always keeping us guessing. Flora, especially, is often hard to find. Tange is usually eager to meet caregivers for her meals. We love giving out surprise watermelon treats. Tange zones out and apparently savors every drop of juice, fluttering her long eyelashes. I'm still fascinated by watching an elephant crush a watermelon, or coconut or other ridiculously large or otherwise seemingly invincible food item or object. It's amazing how 9,000 pounds of elephant can still be so gentle and effortless."

In advance of the 2014 NBA Finals, I answered readers questions in the first edition of the Project Spurs mailbag. I covered Tony Parker, whether LeBron James has more pressure than the Spurs, Tiago Splitter's effectiveness and much more.
To have your question answered in next weeks mailbag, tweet @quixem or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gary Goodson asks, "Can the Spurs win without Parker?"
Yes, though it certainly won't be easy. Parker averaged 15.7 points and 6.4 assists in last year's Finals, pedestrian numbers for him actually, and the Spurs' offense was a tad more productive when he hit the bench (scoring 1.2 points per 100 possessions more). Mills and Joseph can fill in the gaps and they are more capable of handling the load this year.
The Spurs' best chance, of course, is with a reasonably healthy Parker picking apart the aggressive Heat defense since he's able to make quick decisions and attack the scrambling Heat back line. For all the strides Mills has made this season, he's still very much a straight-line (predictable) attacker off-the-dribble. Parker gives Miami's defense a few different looks. The Heat defense, one that leverages their speed, isn't as effective if they don't know what's coming on each possession.
With that being said, Parker is improving every day. Dr. Garrett estimates Parker will be 95 percent healthy by Game 1. Below is a chart outlining the Spurs' chances without Parker.
Romeo Morales asks, "Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard are going from guarding Durant/Westbrook to guarding LeBron/Wade — confidence booster?"
The Durant/Westbrook tandem averaged 45.1 points and 44 percent shooting in the Western Conference Finals — numbers below their regular season marks. When Westbrook ran roughshod on poor Parker, Gregg Popovich switched Kawhi Leonard onto him, an adjustment he can in his back pocket. Durant/Westbrook took a third of their shots from mid-range, a good thing, and they were less efficient in the restricted area against the Spurs. They did the best job they possibly could've, while suffocating the rest of the Thunder options. The bench scored five points in Game 6 and all of them were by Derek Fisher.
LeBron/Wade isn't an easy task either. LeBron barreling to the rim is the most dangerous play in basketball and Wade, with a lighter regular season workload, is still a damn good player at his age. He can't match Westbrook's athleticism (can anyone?) and he isn't a threat to bomb from the 3-point line, but he's crafty enough away from the ball to give Danny Green trouble. Wade averaged 19.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 46.9 percent shooting in last year's Finals. He's healthier this year. The Spurs have their work cut out for them.
Will Kawhi be able to effectively guard LeBron?
LeBron averaged 18.5 points per game against the Spurs this season in a tiny two-game sample, the second lowest against any opponent this season. But we shouldn't take too much from that sample. Including last year's Finals, you can make one reasonable conclusion: Kawhi makes LeBron's life difficult.
LeBron with Kawhi on the floor: 280 minutes, 154 points, 19.8 points per 36 minutes, 43.9 FG%
LeBron without Kawhi on the floor: 85 minutes, 60 points, 25.4 points per 36 minutes, 45.1 FG%
What's important, too, is LeBron averages fewer shots in the restricted area when Kawhi is playing and he makes them at a lower rate. That's his bread-and-butter and when he can't subsist on those shots, he and the Heat defense suffers. So, yes, Kawhi can effectively guard LeBron.
Mark Ignacio asks, "How much will Kawhi earn this offseason?"
He'll earn $2.89 million next year, a hike of a little over a million (he made $1.87 million this year). Then he has a qualifying offer worth $4.05 million in 2015-16. He's not going anywhere.
Juan Manuel asks, "How much will the series change with the great level of Ginobili this year compared to last years playoffs?"
Manu is scoring more points per game and playing less minutes this postseason, which tells all you need to know about his resurgent 2013-14 postseason. (Also: John Diaz took a deeper look here.) The Spurs are scoring 113.9 points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor this postseason and it doesn't even matter if Manu himself isn't producing. Manu's presence alone positively influences the Spurs. Anything else is gravy. He's one of the most important players in this series.
Will Tiago Splitter be effective in this series?
I have my doubts. The Spurs were -7 in his 107 minutes during last years NBA Finals. Splitter struggles against athletic bigs/teams that can swallow up the space he needs to be effective offensively. Oklahoma City and, to a similar extent, Miami both leverage their speed and athleticism in the pick-and-roll. They swarm the pick-and-roll and they swarm Splitter when he catches the ball on the roll. Tiago, one of the best pick-and-roll bigs in the league, has to make a split second decision before Miami's defense recovers. He didn't do that in last year's Finals. He played a total of 22 minutes in the last three games of the series, as Gregg Popovich deliberately shortened his rotation to counter the Heat.
He'll probably get the start tonight, but he's on a short leash.
Romeo Morales asks, "Will we see less Tim and Tiago on the floor at the same time like in the previous series? More Diaw?"
This is a good follow up question. While the Spurs were outscored with Splitter on the floor (see last answer), they were +19 when Tiago shared the floor with Tim Duncan last year — +23.4 points per 100 possessions. A 39-minute sample size isn't large, of course, but the Heat scored 77.4 points per 100 possessions when the Spurs went with their typical big-man tandem. The Duncan-Splitter combo tandem was successful defensively, even though Chris Bosh complicated the rotations a bit.
As the series wore on, Splitter-Duncan played fewer minutes together to keep up with Miami. It worked in spurts and, though it presents spacing issues offensively and awkward cross matches defensively, the Splitter-Duncan tandem is still important in a series against LeBron. Expect more Boris Diaw this year, too, but protecting the rim is always a premium and the Spurs are at their best when they play Tiago and Duncan together.
Does LeBron have more pressure than the Spurs?
LeBron has a tremendous amount of pressure — he's the best player in the world and he's the fulcrum of the entire Miami Heat team. He has the highest burden of any NBA player. That being said, I think the Spurs have more pressure. They're on the wrong side of Duncan's career (though his wrong side is better than most peoples right side) and their chances at a championship decrease every year. LeBron is in the Eastern Conference. He's 29. He won't have many chances at the illusive three-peat, but he'll have more chances at a title, in general.
Chris Reichert asks, "If the Spurs win is there a scenario where you see Duncan and/or Manu retiring?"
Yes. I don't think either calls it quits after this season, but they're both in their late 30's. You can't rule it out. Of the two, Ginobili seems like the most likely to retire first.
Samuel Yu asks, "What will happen to you and the city of San Antonio if the Spurs lose again to the Heat?"
Life will go on.
Morgan Lozano asks, "Are we (the Spurs) going to win the Finals?"
Yes. Maybe. I don't know. (For the record, I picked the Spurs in six.)

The ethics-related case and tussle between House Speaker Bobby Harrell and Attorney General Alan Wilson has featured some of the biggest players in South Carolina politics.
On Tuesday, members of the public packed the Supreme Court's small chamber to watch the court hear the case. The courtroom holds about 150 people and they filled the seats and overflow chairs in the lobby. Many were driven there by the South Carolina Policy Council, Harrell's chief detractor. Harrell, a Charleston Republican, has been accused of using campaign funds for personal use and abusing his position to benefit his company. At stake is whether Wilson and a state grand jury may continue an investigation into the House speaker or whether the case must first be vetted by a panel of lawmakers, the House Ethics Committee, which typically deals with such cases.
Folks were eager to weigh in.
"The fact that we're even having to come here is a travesty," said Gail DeLorey, a utility company worker from Aiken who made the trip to the Supreme Court in Columbia on Tuesday. "There are too many questions about Bobby Harrell's activities."
"All of those justices had to go through Bobby Harrell to get on the bench," she said. "Does that not smack of impropriety?" South Carolina and Virginia are the only states that elect judges in the Legislature.
Summer Solum, 50, of Lexington, called the hearing "disappointing but not surprising." Wilson was criticized by Chief Justice Jean Toal and Justice Don Beatty for stories in the media about the case, particularly those that mentioned what justices inferred should be a secret grand jury investigation.
Harrell said the justices' questions showed that they were concerned, as he is, that Wilson was trying him in the media instead of the courtroom. Some at the hearing felt Harrell should have been getting more of the criticism.
"South Carolina politicians," Solum said, shaking her head.

TYRONE - As one of the team captains, Nate Verilla played a key role on the Tyrone Area High School 1999 PIAA Class AA state championship football team.
However, after graduating from high school, Verilla admits he was confused with no direction in his life.
"I felt lost," said Verilla, who today is property manager for Atlas Edge LLC, Tyrone, and an assistant coach with the Golden Eagles football team.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) Tracey Verilla, leader of Thirty One, puts a blindfold on Azia Barnett, 14, during an exercise that illustrates the difficulty of life without direction. Thirty One, based on Proverbs 31 in the Bible, is geared to girls in sixth to eighth grade and teaches them about character, leadership and finding their purpose in life.
"Where I am today is all because of Joshua House," Verilla said.
In 2000, Verilla met Jim Kilmartin, who in 1998 had founded Joshua House, a ministry geared to helping young people, in his mother's basement.
"Joshua House is an organization, but it is really Jim Kilmartin. He has played a significant role in my life. He helped me develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and on top of that, he taught me how to pray, who Jesus is and what Jesus can do for me," Verilla said. "Since I met him, my life has taken off. He would encourage me and push me into doing good things. He was hard on me at times. He told me I would have to change my life. He was loving, gentle and a true father figure."
Joshua House, which moved to its present location, 123 W. 10th St., the former Citizens Fire Hall in 2005, is marking its 15th anniversary today.
Kilmartin, a 1994 TAHS graduate, returned to his hometown after graduating from Grove City College with a degree in Christian ministry and is an ordained minister.
"I saw a real need for the youth. There wasn't direction or purpose in a lot of kids, they didn't know what they wanted to do. God put a desire in my head to reach out to that generation - to give them hope and purpose. I definitely felt called," Kilmartin said. "The ultimate goal is to provide hope and purpose to the younger generation, help them figure out what they want to do in their lives and help them accomplish that by being a catalyst. We work with kids in athletics, academics and faith."
Joshua House provides numerous sports leagues, camps and programs geared to the area's youth.
"We also provide after school programs with tutoring, small group mentoring, and we provide a safe place to just hang out, a safe place to be," Kilmartin said.
Joshua House has evolved from helping small groups of youth to hundreds a year and now relies on a strong volunteer base to provide the numerous programs.
"In the beginning, I did everything. My role now is executive director. I have a less hands-on role," said Kilmartin, who holds a full-time job as vice president of development for Keystone Property Care, State College, and serves as an elder and part-time pastor at Keystone Church and Ministries, State College.
Joshua House is a nonprofit organization and relies on donations, grants and proceeds from fundraisers to operate.
"There have been lean years. It has been amazing, a walk by faith that finances regularly come forward, how people come forward to help this mission and impact our community," Kilmartin said.
Some people - such as Kristin Hawley - have even moved to Tyrone to help support Joshua House programs.
Hawley, a high school friend of Kilmartin's wife Jessica, moved to Tyrone in 2009.
"I really appreciate the community of people that are involved with Joshua House, and I wanted to be part of the church [Keystone]. I think Joshua House is a catalyst for the life it brings to the community. The thing I appreciate is the life changing stories, the lives that have been changed through the programs," said Hawley, clinical director for ProCare's Huntingdon office.
She helped to establish the Kids in Motion program, the Joshua House Fit Club and serves as race director for the Tyrone Wellness Race Series through Joshua House.
Local business leaders said Joshua House has had a very positive impact on the community.
"Their efforts have impacted the lives of countless kids and has helped the Tyrone Community develop confidence and perseverance to improve and become one of the best communities in the region," said CEO Steve Gildea of Tyrone Hospital. "They have been one of the many shining lights in the Tyrone area, and the entire community should be proud and appreciative of the work that they have done over the past 15 years."
"Jim has done great work. He cares about the community. Joshua House has grown nicely and turned into a real asset. It has given the young people a nice place to go. We are pleased to have them as part of the community," said Sam Phillips, Gardners Candies president.
Kilmartin is pleased with what has been accomplished, but said much work remains to be done.
"We want to continue what we are doing and possibly see other locations develop. One thing I want to do is help impact and transform our community and ultimately our society by raising up leaders. We want to help them [youth] educationally and [with] entrepreneurial [endeavors] so they will be contributing factors and impact society, and we really need that," Kilmartin said.
Joshua House plans a 15th anniversary gala Saturday at the Blair County Convention Center. The guest speaker will be Bishop Bart Pierce of Rock City Church in Baltimore.
"We haven't done an event like this. We want to celebrate with everyone who has volunteered or been a donor or may want to partner with us in the future," Kilmartin said.

Woo woo!!!! With a family history of high cholesterol, I was more than excited when I read about a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition stating that a diet that includes cuts of lean beef can help lower both total and LDL (a.k.a. "bad") cholesterol levels! Here's a link to the facts sheet. BOLD (Beef Optimal Lean Diet)
The study, conducted by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, compares the changes in cholesterol levels when participants followed four different heart healthy diets.
Who says you can't have red meat if you care about your heart and cholesterol?! What you need are smart choices, lean cuts, and portion control. Beefnutrition.org is a great place to head if you're looking for information or ideas on how to prepare that nice sirloin steak you just grabbed at the store. The Healthy Beef Cookbook is another resource I turn to time and again for inspiration.

My friend have clinical depression but refuse to give somebody a lift pills is in that another track 4 her 2 acquire better?
my mate think that anti depressents will brand her worse as she tried them b4 and found they made her worse is there anythink that she can do to stop the clinical depression
Therapy to acquire to the route of the problem. Good luck
st johns wort is non addictive
Counselling and various different therapy. Its hard to pull the mood without the boost of anti depressants though
Your friend have a point about some of these pills, but at hand are plenty of new anti depressants available beside little or no side effects, her doctor would advise her on the best one's here is the herbal stuff but they can be costly
No, she has to pinch medication. If the meds are making her feel doomed to failure or are not working, she should gossip to her GP. Some meds do take a while to "see in". I do not believe any alternative medicines will do any moral whatsoever. It`s only prescribed meds that will lend a hand. I had depression when I be 19, and it was single a sympathetic and understanding GP who sorted me out by prescribing the right drugs, and monitoring me weekly.
As a sufferer of depression myself,I find taking regular excercise help as prescribed by my doctor, cutting out alcohol help.
your friend is lucky 2 have such a honourable friend.There are many ways to minister to her. encouraging her to try new experiances/ latest places like salsa dance,night classes, climbing,etc. Finding out who you are and what you resembling can make a huge difference.Writing thoughts and atmosphere down can make everything clearer(u wouldnt chew over so but its amaizing what u start writing even if your head seem empty).treating herself to a new hairstyle,charm treatment or massage can back too.eating a diet beside plenty veg,fish(fish oil suplements)nuts&seeds.its best to avoid alcahol,it may get the impression as if it cheers her up but in the after math will verbs,worry&make her worse.talk to a councelor,who understand what your going through.encouragement is a must for your friend. you can also try aromatherapy,herbal remedys(consult doctor)&reiki.the right medication does help,it can transport a while to find the right kind.some will bring in her worse but shell need to be aware of what to look for&how she feel.
She may be right. I have hear reports that some people take action very scantily to SSRIs (like Prozac) and it can turn the suicidal or even homicidal. I also knew someone who have a similar experience. She said she had never feel worse and wanted to 'execute something'. As soon as she stopped them she was better although still depressed.
Does she get through fish? Salmon has be indicated in relieving depression as very well as anxiety and OCD.
If not but she's willing to drink something, fish grease can be drunk or even eaten within a pleasant tasting pudding (Coromega).
Also there's muted therapy which is especially thoughtful for people who enjoy seasonal depression.
She's lucky to have you as a friend.
Your mate may be depressed but is pretty smart. Drugs don't cure depression. Mental cleansing is the answer. She can't come across to find the answers and gets depressed. The answers are right surrounded by front of her but being depressed serves her goal. A friend runs a clinic in town. She complains that the majority of the patients do nought but complain. Sounds like the blind overriding the blind. The patients have adopt a philosophy called, "make well me." Your mate needs to find the answers on her own. Stop holding her paw. By the way, swot how to spell words, like "two" and "four". Your short paw english doesn't communicate well.
Studies enjoy shown that exersize is more effective than any drug out nearby.
Combine that with St. John's Wort and you should hold a good, non-drug alternative.
St Johns Wort is a mild, innate remedy and has anti depresant properties. Like most prescribed pills, St Johns Wort does rob a while to work but is equally as effective.
I also find that some essential oil have uplifting properties too. Citrus oil such as lemon, grapefruit and orange are especially pleasant. Geranium and lavender are also good for anxiety and depression, as resourcefully as being great for insomnia - another symptom related to stress and depression.
I have a sneaking suspicion that she would benefit greatly from having a holistic treatment - Councelling, Reiki, Meditation or Aromatherapy could adjectives prove to be useful and minister to her regain a sense of well one

Dual programs proposed for Timberlands school
Red Deer Public School District's newest school would offer both English instruction and French immersion, if a staff recommendation is approved on Wednesday.
Following community input, administration is suggesting to the board trustees that the school in Timberlands could work as a dual track program.
The English program would serve families from the communities of Clearview Extension, Clearview Ridge, College Park, Garden Heights, Timberlands and Timberstone, as well as Vanier Woods and Vanier East.
Elementary students who are in the French immersion program and who live east of 30th Avenue would also attend the Timberlands school.
Administration also recommends that students within the Gateway Christian School's alternative program go to River Glen School.
Students of the Spanish bilingual program at G.H. Dawe Community School would be designated to the Gateway Christian School in the Pines neighbourhood.
The changes would take place in September 2014, when the new school opens.
The school would have an initial capacity of 500 students with the potential to expand to 600 students.
Following approval, the accommodations committee will continue its work on how to best implement the new boundaries.
This will include looking at busing, grandfathering provisions as well as plans for welcoming students and families who are making transitions to new schools.
Further details will be shared in the spring.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
I had this problem with 1.4.2, finally just quit trying it was so frustrating. I have not tried again since the update to 1.4.3.

With the recent Bigfoot hoax that generally fooled the traditional media (suckers), we thought we'd compile the top hilarious Bigfoot pictures and a special Bigfoot bonus video at the end.
Mustachioed Bigfoot Hunter
This Bigfoot skeleton isn't that funny, but the dude next to it sure is. Look at that impressive fire-stache!
Bigfoot With the Kids
My only question is which one of the three people in the back row is Bigfoot?
Mutant Head Bigfoot with Woman
I have no idea what's going on in this shot. It's obviously photoshopped, but somehow still made me chuckle.
Logical Bigfoot
And the reason is…their light blue t-shirts are too tight.
Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter
Few people realize this movie was the inspiration for Brokeback Mountain.
Sasquatch Eating a Kitten
That's the last time that LOLcat will eat Bigfoot's cheezburger!
Recent Bigfoot Hunters
These are the nimrods who just held the press conference claiming their costume was really Bigfoot. But, we must admit that the guy in the middle scores some style points for the camo shorts.
Harry and the Hendersons
Such a great movie. Rent it today. Little did the producers of this film know that they'd spawn a generation of idiotic Bigfoot hunters in Georgia.
Bonus Video: In Loving Memory of Bigfoot

Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle first came to international fame when his book 'The Power of Now' was chosen for the Oprah Winfrey Show's Book Club. Sales quickly reached 6 million copies and Eckhart Tolle became a house hold name.
In a deeply confessional interview, Eckhart Tolle shares with Gay Byrne his problem childhood, unhappy youth, and the 'dark night of the soul' that changed his life. He shares insight into how to identify and to silence the negative thoughts that dominate many people's mindset and spoil their lives. He describes the simple mindfulness techniques he uses to achieve an inner calm and talks about how meditation techniques can become part of your lifestyle when taking a walk or making a cup of tea.
A modest man, originally from Germany, Eckhart Tolle wrote 'The Power of Now 'as a distillation of a philosophy honed from readings of Christianity and Buddhism and based on how he found inner peace and the ability to live a fulfilled and positive life. His own early life was very troubled, starting with an unhappy childhood caused by being the only child of a dysfunctional marriage. He was bullied in school so badly that he dropped out at age 14 years and he developed such a strong sense of alienation and depression in his early 20s that he ended up without a home, a job or a significant relationship. At only 29 years old, he was contemplating suicide.
It was the dark night of the soul that saved him. Faced with wanting to kill himself to stop his angry and depressive inner voice, he chose to live in the now and in this interview he tells us how.

Hmm, I think it might be better to separate this from the dump_on_oops.
How about a ftrace_default_tracer parameter?
If one is defined, it is activated as soon as it is initialized. This way
we decouple the dump_on_oops, which we may not always want, and a way to

Advantages and Disadvantages of Local or Traditional Treatment
The following points must be considered for evaluation of traditional treatments:-
The organic quality of the substance used;
The quantity of the substance used;
The circumstances under which the substances have been or will be used.
The organic quality of the substance used:
Any substance used (e.g., fire, salt, sugar and plants) for remedies could be beneficial and safe, or harmful and poisonous to the camel.
The quantity of the substance used:
Any remedial substance if given in larger or lesser doses than required, may prove adverse or ineffective
The circumstances under which the substances have been or will be used:
If the substances used are applied under adverse conditions, the effect may be detrimental.
Taking into consideration the above conditions, traditional treatments currently used may be categorised as:
Treatment based on scientific and recognised medical principles;
Treatment proven useful but inexplicable by scientific justification or current knowledge; and,
Treatment proven to be harmful.
Remedial Burning Therapy should be used wisely for effectiveness:
Transformation of a chronic inflammation to the acute stage is admissible only if effective in curing the chronic inflammation. Otherwise, it may give rise to new ailments.
Correct amounts of remedial burning cause healing heat to seep through the layers of the skin. However, excessive use of burning may cause damage to the tissues underlying the skin.
Remedial burning maybe used to cause pain in a specific part of the body to inactivate it or reduce movement and to, therefore, expedite healing. E.g. in cases where inactivation of a broken arm is troublesome, it will heal faster if inactivated due to pain by burning.
Corrective burning therapy, though not the best method, maybe used to remove undesired tissues and parts of the body.

Hmmm.. I'll have to look further into this, thanks.
Like most of us Rockin Groks, I have fallen madly in luv with Coconut Butter. I just dont like the price of it. I couldnt wrap my head around $10 for a 15 or 16 ounce jar! Especially since it was gone in less than a week!
So, web search brought up a ton of DIY coconut butter *recipes*. I say it like that because there really is NO RECIPE! Dried unsweetened coconut, food processor/blender, jar!
So, heres what I did. I ordered Let's Do Organic Shredded, Unsweetened Coconut, 8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12) from Amazon and put it on Subscribe & Save (which made the price $20.15 w/free S&H).
I poured 2 bags (16 ounces) into my BlendTec (another type of blender, like a Vitamix). Blend and scrape for about 5 minutes when it turned almost into a liquid. I then filled my old CB jar to the tippy top with the Homemade Manna.
Ive also completed this in a food processor. It DOES take longer, but you can toss in 2 bags, turn it on then forget it for 10 minutes while you make a meal. After the 10 minutes, scrape and pulse until it looks and feels like soft peanut butter. The manna will have heated up, which is truly what you want it to do. As the coconut warms up, it breaks down a lot more quickly.
YUMMMMMM Diggity! Nothing like homemade .. And now, each 16 ounce jar of Manna Heaven costs me less than $3.40!
Hmmm.. I'll have to look further into this, thanks.
If you have a problem with what you read: 1. Get a dictionary 2. Don't read it 3. Grow up 4. After 3, go back to 1/ or 2. -- Dennis Blue. | "I don't care about your opinion, only your analysis"- Professor Calabrese. | "Life is more important than _______" - Drew | I eat animals that eat vegetables -- Matt Millen, former NFL Linebacker. | "This country is built on sugar & shit that comes in a box marinated in gluten - abc123
Oh right on! I wonder if it would be any cheaper to buy a coconut and do the whole thing yourself?
And, you can't make coconut butter out of raw coconut meat as it is too wet.
Thanks for the response! You saved me $$ on trying it out myself and failing miserably. I'll definitely have to try your recipe
No worries. I have champagne tastes on a beer budget.... so I learn how to MAKE champagne from beer!
If there is a cheaper way of getting 16 ounces of Coconut Butter, I would LOVE to know!
You can use your homemade manna to make IMO a delicious non-dairy fudge, too.
Coconut Cream Chocolate Fudge (Dairy Free) | The Coconut Mama
I'm making a new batch now and I will think of you with each and every savor......
The verdict is in... I must keel Terry! My non primal, fudge lovin hubby got a piece of this and went to fudge heaven!! I fetched piece after piece after piece until there was LITERALLY one piece left! I had to hide it so our CaveBaby could have some today!
This recipe is SO out of this world! Thanks so much for sharing!
