We need to accumulate Amare into the offense and not clog it up before playoff time.
It's Sunday and the Knicks are facing the Hawks in the afternoon. Here's a classic joint to enjoy
Amar'e Stoudemire returned to the lineup against the Cavs but his performance was not convincing, 15 points and 5 rebounds in 27 minutes and the Knicks lost for the second time this season (90-98) against one of the worst teams in the league right now and couldn't complete a three game winning streak.
ESPN Game Preview
Atlanta Hawks coach Larry Drew is worried about complacency while New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson is concerned about effort.
These playoff-bound teams hope to use this final stretch to sort out various issues starting with Sunday's matchup at Philips Arena.
Atlanta (38-25) took a major step toward gaining home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs Friday with its third straight win, 97-92 over Boston. The Hawks will open at home as the Eastern Conference's No. 5 seed as long as they hold off Orlando and finish with a better record than the Celtics, who are guaranteed the fourth seed as Atlantic Division champions.
"We're going to try and get as many advantages as we can so if having home-court is one of them, then we're going to come out and really prepare for it and try and get it," said Joe Johnson, who had 30 points.
Atlanta, however, was not happy with a victory that was tougher than expected because Boston rested key players Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
"For us, it definitely sits a little uneasy," Johnson said. "I don't feel like we brought our 'A' game."
With three games left on a five-game homestand, Drew is hoping his team can maintain a high energy level.
"We have New York coming in here on Sunday," he said. "So hopefully we can take these three games, and we're in front of our home crowd, we're done with the road in the regular season, hopefully we can take these three games and really work and focus on the things we really need to.
"I don't want to be passive at this time, I don't want to be complacent at this time, I don't want to be lethargic at this time. I want our guys to really enjoy being home and every time they step in between those lines, bring some energy, bring some smarts."
New York (33-30) clinched a playoff spot on an off day Thursday when Milwaukee fell at Indiana. The Knicks were predictably flat in their next game, Friday's 98-90 loss at Cleveland.
"There's nothing about tonight's game that I liked," Woodson said. "We just didn't compete. That's unacceptable."
The lone positive for the former Hawks coach was the return of Amare Stoudemire, back in the lineup after missing 13 games with a back injury. Stoudemire had 15 points and three rebounds in 27 minutes.
"As the game went on, I felt more and more comfortable," Stoudemire said. "I felt my rhythm coming back a lot faster. It's that muscle memory. Once you get going again, it just comes back to you. I felt great."
It's hard to say what the Knicks can accomplish over their final three games. They will likely finish seventh or eighth in the East, earning them a first-round matchup with Chicago or Miami.
"These next three games, that's all we have," Woodson said. "We're going to have to keep pushing. We won't be able to practice (Saturday) much, we've got a 1 o'clock game on Sunday."
Carmelo Anthony was held to 12 points Friday after averaging 30.5 in his previous three games.
He scored 36 in Atlanta on March 30, but the Knicks lost 100-90 to end their three-game winning streak in this series. Johnson had 28 points in that matchup after missing the first meeting this season due to injury, a 99-82 road loss Feb. 22.
April 22, 1973: Knicks roar back from a 17-point second-half deficit to defeat the Boston Celtics 117-110 (2OT) and take a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Walt Frazier leads the way with 37 points.
April 22, 1984: Bernard King scores 46 points for the second consecutive playoff game, leading the Knicks to a 120-113 victory over the Pistons at MSG and a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference First Round.
April 22, 1994: Pat Riley records his 700th career victory in 125-85 win at Milwaukee. Riley becomes the 10th coach in NBA history to reach the milestone.
April 22, 2001: Knicks open the playoffs with a 92-85 win over Toronto at Madison Square Garden. Allan Houston scores a game high 23 points.
April 22, 2011: Playoff basketball returns to the Garden after a seven-year layoff, but New York without the services of an injured Chauncey Billups (knee) and Amare Stoudemire (back spasms) loses to Boston 113-96 in Game 3 of First Round, falling in a 3-0 hole.
We need to accumulate Amare into the offense and not clog it up before playoff time.
Since Woody took over, no 2 straight losses, if today will be the first one then...
I dont want to turn the heat to STAT, but if this is Melo's team, then its Melo;s team.
In Miami, it was D-Wade team, until, Lebron came, today they coexist, but, its Lebron all the way, this should be the situation with our Knicks, STAT needs to recognize who is the go-to-guy and who is leading us, a team cant have two captains, there is No.1 and his second, Woody needs to step up as a coach and say it out loud, whoever thinks that Phil Jackson wouldn't do the same his wrong, Kobe was No.1 all the way(even with Shaq) and MJ was No.1 all the way(even with Pippen)
Woodson should just stick with the starting 5 he has had for the past 28 days....
Let Stat come off the bench at the 5. We win on defense and Stat with his injury is just not going to step up...........Woodson is throwing Stat right in there makes no sense.....Its very Dantonio like...just being stubborn
We lost to Cavs have nothing to do with Amare's performance. It pretty obvious they want to tank as a team.
Hawks by 4 in a tight one.
I don't know if Melo will feel like balling today. We'll see.
With Stat back, he has to find the best combo of lineups, jel his players, and peak his team--all that in just a few days!
With the current roster, the starting lineup that played any consider amount of time together is:
1 Shump
2 Fields
3 Melo
4 Stat
5 Chandler
Injuries plagued all season, no other combos had started for more than four straight games--the biggest reason Knicks have been consistently inconsistent. It's up to Woody to put the pieces together to this messy puzzle.
Talking about pressure on a head coach!
Rady with the GT! way to go! nice team graphics and way classic joint!
Chandler out today, resting his weary bones, paving the way for STAT to START at the 5. looking forward to it. but who will backup STAT with Girafferies resting at the zoo? Gadzooks? will Jerry Jordan actually see minutes other than garbage time? as Knicks have clinched, and very little chance of moving up, are the last 3 regular season games garbage time so Wood Son can see how players mesh into playoffs?
Seems the Cleveland game was a chance for STAT to see how he feels, with Chandler and Melo sitting for a large percentage of the game.
that game left a crappy feeling, let's hope Knicks Dee steps up against Joe Johnson and friends, Knicks need to play hard rolling into playoffs with W's, not L's.
go team!
Chandler not playing, Amare starts in his place.
Hawks starting Josh Smith at center.
Damn...this is gonna be a long game...
Damn Melo check your ankles brah

I would like to report that my son successfully maneuvered pre-loaded spoons of cereal into his mouth, using the handle end, multiple times in a row. When some fell off onto in his tray he did pick it up with his hands and shoveled it into his mouth, so we were just as messy as ever, but it was still great to watch
Still no luck with the cup situation. I think he stopped trying when he got a sip and realized I stopped putting juice in there and it was only water. I would put BM in there but I don't want to risk wasting it until he gets the hang of it. We are especially tight on BM right now.

Birthdays Without Big Bucks
While I no longer get particularly excited for my own birthday, I still remember how much I used to love that day. Even though it usually coincided with our winter family vacations, my parents made a point to make me feel special by throwing a small party wherever we were. But as any parent can tell you, many of today's kids' parties come with adult price tags!
So – if the economy has thrown a dent in your party planning budget – don't fret! You can still throw a superbly fun birthday bash without spending a small fortune. Remember — The size of your party budget does not represent the amount of love you have for your child, or how much fun all the kids will have. The key is to get creative – here are some of our fave ideas and sites to help you plan…
Get the Guest of Honor Involved
Evites may be cheap and easy, but I miss the personal touch only a physical invitation can bring. Why not get your birthday boy or girl involved by having them create the invitations? Fold a piece of construction paper, and let your child decorate the outside. Add the What, When, Where and Why inside, and you're done! Just make sure you start this process a couple of weeks ahead of the actual date you want to send invites by, so your child doesn't have to spend hours at a time on the project.
Pick A Theme
Parties are easier to organize once a theme has been chosen. From there, you can base the rest of your choices on that one central decorating scheme. Your child should be able to provide some great ideas, and Hostess With the Mostess is always full of creative party themes, but don't let the site intimidate you – no one expects you to be THAT crafty… For fun, affordable and retro party ideas, also check out these Fab & Fru kid party tips.
Make a Homemade Cake
Aside from the invitations, the birthday cake is a great place to flex your domestic muscle. Try looking at Family Fun for cake ideas. They also come with detailed instructions, so the final product actually looks like the picture they show.
Choosing A Venue
Frugal Confessions created a handy chart that lists venues by their price per child. This is a great tool if you're looking to go outside your home for the birthday party celebration. Remember, though, staying home can be just as fun if you organize time and events so that the kids are constantly doing something fun.
Party Favors
If you want to send kids home with something sweet, try looking at bulk candy sites like Candy.com. You're able to buy large amounts of candy for less (they're great for Halloween, too), and since most do not come individually packaged, you can wrap the candy in cellophane or a small box that matches the theme of your party.
Make the Day About Your Kid
While it's important to set a good example for your child and make all of your guests feel welcome, the day should really center on the birthday boy or girl. Throwing a party that impresses the other adults won't ever be as important as the sweet memories you're creating for your little one.
What is the most memorable kid party you little one has been to lately?| Print


text: This is another handy trick from years of doing red carpet makeup that's undetectable at first glance but helps to create the illusion of an eye lift. Typically we raise the brows by highlighting the brow bone underneath (revisit my Brow Lift Tutorial) or by filling in the brow with the concentration on the arch (revisit my High Brow Tutorial as well!). But no one thinks to highlight just above the arch! Why would we do that? We have to go back to Art Class 101 to the theories behind shadows and light. If you're painting on a flat canvas, you need to add dimension with dark shades to push a feature back (away) and light shades to pull a feature forward. If you highlight just above the arch of the brow, it creates the illusion that the arch is raised, therefore making the whole eye area look lifted. It's subtle but quick and easy and we'll take all the help we can get! Here's how: (more…)

Freedom New Mexico
The New Mexico Department of Health is warning pet and livestock owners in Roosevelt County and the surrounding area to make sure their dogs, cats, horses and other valuable livestock get vaccinated against rabies after an unvaccinated pet dog from near Portales was attacked by an aggressive acting skunk in early July. The dog began showing signs of rabies last week and died at a veterinary hospital two days later.
The New Mexico Department of Health's Scientific Laboratory Division in Albuquerque confirmed the dog had rabies. Nine people have been identified who will need to receive a rabies vaccination to prevent them from developing rabies. Another unvaccinated pet dog which was also bitten by the skunk will be euthanized.
"People have been needlessly exposed to a very dangerous, fatal disease because pets have not been vaccinated against rabies," Department of Health Cabinet Secretary Dr. Catherine Torres said in a press release.
Dr. Paul Ettestad, the Department of Health's public health veterinarian, said a skunk positive for rabies means that there are other skunks and potentially other wildlife in the area that also have rabies.
"Pet and horse owners need to protect their animals by having them up-to-date on their rabies vaccines," Dr. Ettestad said. "This will also help to protect their children and other family members from rabies if their horse, dog or cat tangles with a rabid animal."
Portales veterinarian Kathryn Bartlett said local residents should be sure to always get their pets vaccinated and anyone exposed to rabies should get a post-exposure rabies vaccination.

The touch screen display has four hot-zones (top, bottom, left, right) which you can simply touch with your finger to change mode; time, date, alarm, light up.
Holding your finger in place for a few seconds allows you to customise; hold your finger over the alarm zone to set the alarm, hold it over the time zone to set the time. It's intuitive, simple and fun to operate.
After 15 seconds the screen will lock to prevent accidental input, however the LED light up function can always be operated. To unlock the display, simply swipe your finger across the screen from left to right. Please see the video at the bottom of the page to see this in action.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase its concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai On Air Acetate was submitted by Iskender Asanaliev & Adilet Asanaliev from Kyrgyzstan and was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans. This is the fourth concept submitted by a fan to become reality.
Find out more about the original concept on the Tokyoflash Design Studio BLOG.

Players vying to compete with the Israeli national men's lacrosse team at the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships represented the country in an exhibition game against a team representing the Phillippines on Aug. 18 in Baltimore.
The Israeli squad won handedly, defeating the Flipino American Lacrosse Club 18 to 2. The sport is just in its infancy in both the Phillippines and Israel, though more so in the former, according to Scott Neiss, director of Israel Lacrosse.
Reuven Dressler, a Dresher native, and Matt Cherry, of Bryn Mawr, play for the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem club lacrosse teams and have participated in international tournaments with Israel. Neither played in Baltimore, but both are hoping to represent Israel at the championships next summer in Denver.

My son was in the NICU so I had no access to him during that time. My milk never came in. I pumped, I tried to nurse after he came home (5 days post birth) but to no avail. What can woman like me do to enure that the next time around we will be able to breastfeed? I am presently 23 weeks pregnant with baby #2.

For the last four years, there's been another Souper Bowl that takes place here in our area.
Most of the taverns in the La Crosse Tavern League were collecting non-perishable items on Sunday for the Hunger Take Force. Those items will then be distributed to different food shelves in our area.
Double Deuce Bar & Grill on French Island has collected the most donations in recent years and is hoping to win it's third straight title.
"I think we have more than we did last year and more money," said Tom Peterson, owner of Double Deuce Bar & Grill.
"There's more money in the can because people keep forgetting their (non-perishable) cans so I make them put money in the jug," he added.
The donations will be collected later this week so there's still time to help out.
The Hunger Task Force supports 60 different food programs in the La Crosse area.

#40 Korean Dramas
15 comments:
so true!!
- July 10, 2008 at 6:15 PM
My mom quit cold turkey for that reason as well. Another Korean mom wanted to discuss a drama with my mom, but my mom refused to watch it. She begged and my mom still refused. Then one day, my mom received a box with 21 VHS episodes. It was like a drama drive-by shooting.
- July 23, 2008 at 2:02 PM
The same is true of Indian moms and Indian dramas... Sure, the storyline is a bit different (Rich boy meets girl, boy's evil relatives conspire to keep them apart, boy eventually marries girl who is then tortured by said relatives, girl dies, but is reincarnated as same girl, drama repeats ad nauseum), but the underlying relationships between moms and their favorite dramas is exactly the same.
I had to wean my mother off indian dramas (at her request), only to find her furtively watching one when she thought I had gone to sleep. Her excuse: the tv found the channel of its own volition and then the remote stopped working.

I can't tell you how surprised I was when I heard my mom taking computer classes. and she wanted a laptop for her 60th birthday so she could watch her videos online as soon as it was available. The woman doesn't even know google but she knows how to pay for her kbs and sbc accounts online.

NR's right, Indian moms can be equally crazy over the REALLY HORRIBLE Indian dramas- at least your kdramas have decentish production values and cute actors, ours just suffer from an OD of pancake makeup!

As embarassing as it is to admit...I must be a "korean mom"
Hello, my name is Richard...and I love korean dramas!
Tell you mothers about www.mysoju.com Awesome website with like every Korean drama/movie on streaming video!
Korean dramas are so much better than the crap we have on television in the US. I can't stand American Idol, I cant stand Survivor. The best part is Korean dramas are on all the time through the internet. Meanwhile I have to wait all summer long for the next episode of Grey's Anatomy or House...as long as the writers guild doesnt strike again.

I love Korean dramas, definitely better than crappy reality shows. And they're very popular amongst other Asian countries!
- August 6, 2008 at 3:09 AM
I can't help but laugh when i read this blog... everything about it is so true! I'm half Korean and can't understand a word of Korean, yet my mom thinks it's bonding time for us when we watch these Korean dramas... she'll try to explain what's going on, but it's all just so confusing... so she'll get the ones with subtitles... and yes they were on VHS... she'd rent them 5 at a time and spend all day in bed watching these things... and now it's progessed to online... she literally will sit in the dark with the laptop in bed and watch them religiously... hahaha I must admit thought I love the dramatic story lines!

My gf and I were channel surfing one evening a few years back, and we stumbled upon a wonderful road accident on one of the two Korean channels called "Over the Green Fields." Neither myself (go on - start playa hatin' y'all) nor my girlfriend can understand a lick of Korean (and that's a disturbing Freudian image), so we were screwed, especially since it's an old yet cherished Korean TV Drama. Still, we watched it eagerly, and I even found the soundtrack cd on 32nd St in Mannyhanny.
Even thought there is a growing appreciation for the cheese that is Korean Drama (and isn't that redundant?) I miss that show a hell of a lot. Maybe it will come out on DVD. That and "Age of Warriors." Those two shows were The Shit.

Korean dramas are popular in SE Asia, too. You can't imagine my surprise to turn on a TV set in Burma and see Koreans going through the love-gained, love-lost thing.
Happily, my wife only watches these dramas when she's homesick. She seems to think the Korean films I rent from Netflix (avant garde and highly acclaimed films, mind you) are "strange," complete with a somewhat-soft stank eye.
- August 28, 2008 at 12:57 PM
It's scary. My Korean mom was mostly computer illiterate, short of turning it on, typing something, and printing. Once she found out she could get dramas and music online, she asked me to teacher her (I work in the I.T. field). She learned how to burn music, take pictures off her camera and send the to people, korean yahoo search, and I got her an ipod and she can rip music and d/l it as well. She also learned how to get... yes... korean dramas. She now keeps her computer on 24/7 and downloads more than I DO on an average day to day basis!!!! And to give you an idea of how much media I have... I have near 4 terabytes of storage.

So true, so true... My mom has "health problems" (of course, because of me!) and I told her it's probably from her overdose of Korean Dramas because she doesn't sleep until she is finished with all the videos and then complains about how tired she is the next day! And this from a woman who won't let me keep a digital clock in the room or heaven forbid, a warming blanket because of the radioactivity that will cause cancer!!!
Love always,

I read this sentence last night in a book that I am currently reading and it provoked no imagery at all. Of course, it also does not help that I know next to nothing about cars. Can someone tell me what this means, especially 'suicide doors' and post a link maybe to just such a car.
"Ancient Plymouths with suicide doors that operated away from the center post like hard covers from a book's spine."

Dear maahey: In late twenties, the wife of a Pontiac dealer sitteng beside her husband who was driving, noticed that the door was not properly latched. She attempted to correct this. The door opend on its leading edge. Even though the car was going only about 30mph, the slipstream caught the door so suddenly and powerfully that it swung open suddenly with such power that she was thrown out of the car, and badly hurt.
That's a "suicide door".

Oh! I see! They open like gates!! But, Bill [nudge - ], can they really do that; can the slipstream actually suck out people. Were there many such reported cases and did such a design go out as a result?

A book would have to be opened, face out and on the same plane as the side of the car, to work like the type of door in question.
A suicide door opens with the hinge behind the occupant, in such a way, that if an other car coming along side, hit into the opened door, it would crush the person getting in or out.
It would be easier to draw a little diagram.
ok... like a K or mirrored K (?)
Does that help?

The new (BMW) Rolls Royce and the new Mazda (Wankel Rotary-engined) RX-8 have suicide doors in the rear. I believe that though, in general, these doors contravene safety regulations, they were allowed in these cases because in both cases the rear doors cannot be opened without the front doors opening first (like the overlapping doors on a wardrobe).

I read car mags instead of 'girlie' mags or 'lads mags'. I wonder what that says about my sex life? (Particularly given that I don't drive, my bicycle was stolen, and it's now a bit too cold to walk far - so it's buses all the way for me.)

Cars have always been sex objects in US "culture", especially their back seats.
Sorry to hear that you're another victim of those bi-thieves.
I was a buser (and worked as a bus boy for a few months too) for several years before I bought a nice bike, which was stolen from a barroom service entryway soon thereafter. I found a 3-speed in a dumpster that I fixed up and rode for years. I was healthier and more "socially" popular than at any time of my life. So much for my USA being a Carnation.
PS: My older brother and I went to the 1962-3&4 car shows at the "Coliseum" in NYC in our teens. He was a street drag racer/greaser. My fist car, in stark contrast, was a very used red 1965 VW bug.

To enhance survivability as an essential element of overall combat mission effectiveness. This involves promoting communications and the exchange of survivability technical information between individuals and organizations that develop requirements for, design, build and tactically employ military weapon systems. The Division's program covers all aspects of susceptibility reduction (probability of hit), vulnerability reduction (consequences of hit), and the overall survivability discipline, including countermeasures, signature reduction, tactics and training, camouflage, concealment and deception, as well as damage resistance, damage tolerance and combat damage repair. An additional focus is the transfer of information and technology between the military survivability and civil aviation communities to further flight safety and to mitigate the effects of terrorist acts.

text: We all know we still need a better pass rush but lets be real, Our secondary is one of the worst in the league. Anyone you see out there that can make a impact if we draft late 20's? WalterFootball.com: 2013 NFL Draft Scouting Report: T.J. McDonald has us taking Safety USC T.J. McDonald, 6-3/205 Career Recap: McDonald made his presence felt in his first season as a starter in 2010. He led USC in tackles with 89, including three tackles for a loss, four passes broken up, three interceptions and a blocked punt. He was named an All-Pac-10 Second-Team selection. McDonald then had a solid junior year with 67 tackles with three interceptions, two passes broken up and a blocked kick. He had two interceptions against Arizona quarterback Nick Foles. McDonald is a hard hitter and physical defender. He drew a half-game suspension for a hit during USC's triple overtime loss to Stanford. McDonald could have been a late first-round or second-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, but decided to return for his senior campaign.

Recently there was an inspirational story about a person who found a bottle in their basement, containing some mysterious scraps with writing that turned out to be a long-lost message from some concentration camp survivors.
But that is actually just the most recent in a long line of amazing, often ancient artifacts turning up in random places like garage sales or just collecting on the same shelf where somebody was storing their old comic books.
5The $800,000 Stradivarius Violin
Have you ever sat your coffee on top of your car, intending to grab it before you get behind the wheel, only to forget about it? Then you go driving off and it falls onto the road somewhere while you stare confused at your empty cup holder?
What would you say is the worst possible scenario for something like that? Other than, say, leaving your newborn infant up there?
That brings us to the story of The Duke of Alcantara, which is not a person but a 267-year-old Stradivarius violin (when an instrument is valued at $800,000, they tend to give it a pimp name). The violin was donated to UCLA at some point in its long lifespan, and wound up in the hands of David Margetts, the second violinist for the UCLA string quartet. He borrowed the violin on August 2, 1967 from the university for a rehearsal in Hollywood.
An $800,000 loaner? Yeah, UCLA apparently trusted the shit out of David Margetts.
They shouldn't have. He was on his way home and stopped to get groceries, leaving his car unlocked. When he got back, he was minus one violin and was in some serious shit with UCLA. Surely some thieves had stolen it, recognizing it for its rarity and extraordinary value! They were probably selling it to sophisticated international criminals that very moment!
Fast forward 27 years to 1994. A violin dealer repairing a (you guessed it) violin, realized that, holy shit, he was working on a Stradivarius two and a half centuries old and worth more than he made in a decade.
He looked up the particular violin and found out it had been missing from UCLA all this time. The violin was now owned by an amateur violinist by the name of Teresa Salvato, who had gotten it in her divorce settlement.
Wondering how the musical equivalent of that guy who always "totally has to show you a song he wrote" at parties ended up with an $800,000 violin, UCLA did a little asking around and found out the violin was given to Teresa's husband by his aunt... who found the Stradivarius on the side of a freeway one evening in 1967.
So what we were saying earlier, about the cup of coffee? Yeah, it appears that's what David did with the violin.
4The Declaration of Independence
Back when they wrote up the Declaration of Independence, somebody thought to make copies. Otherwise someone could leave it on top of their car or something, and the colonies would have fallen back under British rule.
Around 500 copies were printed on July 5, 1776. Now the original handwritten document is in the Smithsonian museum, but of the 500 copies, only 24 are still around today. So even those copies have a value that's hard to calculate, even though only the original has the National Treasure secret map on the back.
"If we don't solve this riddle, History will eat itself!"
Donald Scheer was a man who enjoyed picture frames. Fuck whatever was in the picture, he just liked the frames.
One day at a flea market he came across a painting of a farm scene. He was so taken with the ornate frame that he bought it for a whopping $4. Once at home, he hastily went to work detaching the worthless picture from the precious, precious frame, and that was when the frame fell apart.
Holding the broken frame in his hands and shouting whatever curse words frame collectors know, he found a small folded-up piece of paper. Upon opening it he realized that he was holding the Declaration of fucking Independence.
So we said it's hard to calculate the value of such a document, but it's not impossible: he sold it at auction for $2.42 million.
We have to wonder if he didn't run and dig that farm painting out of the trash, to find out what that shit was worth.

As you probably know, the very existence of G4 correspondent Blair Herter causes strong feelings in everyone he meets. Sometimes those feelings become too much to take, and they must be expressed on the internet. I say this by way of introducing you to the We Hate Blair Herter... Get Him Off of X-Play facebook group.
The group was started by X-Play fan Chelsea K., but was brought to the attention of G4 by Herter himself. Now all of Herter's co-workers, friends and just about everyone Blair has ever met has joined the group. I hear his own mother is the treasurer.
I tracked Blair down to get his feelings on this important development, and he said "As someone who hates myself more than anyone else possibly could, and as a man who lives his life by the rules set forth by the Constitution of this great United States of America, I think it's only fair that everyone support the beautiful freedom of expression this group represents."
"I really do suck," he added.
Join up, and register your own contempt. Seriously, it's fun.

In addition, the book of Enoch talks about the Watchers or the Egregores, and egregores mean 'thought form.'

Freedom New Mexico
President Barack Obama's news conference Tuesday may have marked the beginning of the end of the administration's honeymoon with the Washington establishment as personified by the Washington press corps.
Although the president was still firmly in command of his audience, the questions were sharper and more pointed, a little less reverential than in the recent past. A few of the answers showed a touch of defensiveness, even mild anger.
Perhaps Barack Obama is no longer The One in the eyes of the media but simply the one who happens to be occupying the Oval Office at this point.
Of course, it was inevitable this would happen, and we've seen signs for weeks. Campaign speeches can be carefully crafted to emphasize vague but reassuring platitudes designed to make a candidate on the side of all his listeners, from the very ideological to the vaguely moderate who don't think much about issues.
But presidents must make decisions, and decisions inevitably disappoint some sectors of the public, even if they are explained artfully.
Recent polls show that while the president is still personally popular, many of the positions he has taken and decisions he has made are not.
Nine in 10 Americans, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll are "somewhat" or "very" concerned about the budget deficit and disinclined to accept a "trust me" answer.
The automaker bailouts and government takeover of General Motors are not popular. As unemployment increases, and even the administration acknowledges it is likely to keep rising, people are less confident the "stimulus" package did much good.
Perhaps most significant, the president's handling of the Iranian civil unrest, while certainly defensible, has attracted criticism from across the political spectrum.
The fact that President Obama was a little prickly in response to a few of the Iran questions suggests criticism, whether justified or not, has gotten to him. Still, he stuck to his ground, and rightfully so.
He was less impressive discussing health care and the economy. To contend his first priority is reducing health care costs and that he plans to achieve those savings by getting the government even more closely involved and covering more Americans, possibly with a government-run plan, simply doesn't compute.
His defense of his still-amorphous proposals sounded more like a campaign speech, with elements of fear-mongering, than a description of policy that would have a chance to work.
And his discussion of the Federal Reserve showed no understanding of the key role the Fed played in bringing the financial crisis into being.
We don't know if the honeymoon is over, but if so it's a healthy development. Viewing a president as just another politician, with good points and bad, whose ambitions are potentially dangerous to freedom, is not a bad default position.

The primary purpose of the web site of today is to display dynamic content. At some point, the user sends input to a web application to be processed and the results returned. Typically, back-end operations occur quickly enough and all is well, from the user perspective. Occasionally, more time-consuming processing must take place, resulting in delays. Eventually the delay may become so noticable that the user believes he has made a mistake and either gives up or resubmits his request.
The problem of handling operations that run for long periods of time isn't a new one. Java provides a robust threading mechanism that can create background tasks. Additionally, with the arrival of the EJB 2.0 specification, Message-based EJBs (so-called MDBs) can be used to perform background operations. However, remember that these mechanisms are designed to handle asynchronous operations. You start a thread or background process, and at some later point you are notified or must check for a result, all asynchronously.
What about slightly long-running applications that are synchronous in nature but still take a noticable amount of processing? Imagine the scenario where a concert goer logs on to her favorite web site to order tickets for a show that's just gone on sale. (Recent sales of Bruce Springsteen tickets come to mind!) Under normal circumstances, the site performs fine and our would-be concertgoer purchases her tickets and is on her way. However, when a heavy load occurs, the server slows down, frustrating the user (who thinks her purchase request failed), so she hits the submit button again and again. Unfortunately, each hit of the submit button ends up ordering another set of tickets.
There are many ways to handle this type of scenario. The most obvious is to prevent the user from submitting the same request repeatedly in the first place. Another might be to somehow track that a user has previously submitted a request and revert to the previously-submitted action. The figure below shows the output from a simple servlet that processes the input as it arrives and assigns a ticket number to each request.
Figure 1: Processing simple submissions
The primary and most effective way to handle the multiple submits problem is to prevent it from happening. ConcertTickets.html shows the underlying HTML for a simple form that captures the name of a concert and submits it to a servlet to order tickets. The process works perfectly when the web site responds quickly. However, if the web site bogs down and the submit is not processed quickly enough, the user gets frustrated and resubmits. The processing shown below results.
Listing 1: ConcertTickets.html

12: <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit"
13: value="Do Submit">

14:

15: </form>
16:
17:
Figure 2: Repeated submissions
The simplest way to handle the multiple submit problem is to prevent it from
happening. Below is a revised version of our form, which includes a small amount
of JavaScript. The embedded JavaScript remembers if the submit button was
previously pressed. On a resubmit, an alert pops up and the form is not
submitted again. We can short-circuit the normal submit processing by adding
onClick attribute to the submit button. Every time the button
is clicked, the
onClick code executes. In our case, this results in the
checksubmitcount() being called. However, just calling
a function doesn't really help. If we did no more then add the
onClick, we'd get our popup alert box every time the submit button
was pressed, and then immediately the submit would happen. The user would be
alerted that she made a mistake, but the request would be sent anyway. This is
an improvement only from the user perspective. The end result to the server is
the same: multiple submits.
Listing 2: Concert2.html
01:
. . .
12: <input type="button" name="btnSubmit"
13: value="Do Submit"
14: onClick="checksubmitcount();">

16: </form>

We can solve the problem by going one step further and subtly changing the way our
page works. Sharp readers might have noticed one additional change to
the form. The type of our button, line 12, originally
submit, is
now replaced by
button. The look and feel of the page is
identical. However, the default action associated with the form, shown on line
6, to invoke the servlet, is no longer automatic. We can now programmatically
choose to submit the form to our server and our problem is solved--or is
In order to understand how to solve the multiple submit problem, we must
first understand how servlets work with respect to sessions. As
everyone knows, HTTP is inherently a stateless protocol. In order to handle
state, we need some way for the browser to associate the current request with a
larger block of requests. The servlet session provides us a solution to this
problem. The
HttpServlet methods
doGet() and
doPost() use two specific parameters:
HttpServletRequest and
HttpServletResponse. The
servlet request parameter allows us to access what is commonly referred to as
the servlet session. Servlet sessions have mechanisms for accessing and storing
state information.
What exactly is a servlet session? A servlet session is a number of things, including:
HttpServlets, via the
HttpSession interface.
Before we look at how to solve our problem with a server-side solution, we need to understand the servlet session lifecycle. As with EJBs and other server side entities, servlet sessions go through a defined set of states during their lifetime. The figure below shows the lifecycle of a servlet session. Servlets move through three distinct states: does not exist, new, and not new or in-use.
Figure 3: Servlet session lifecycle
get and
set methods, result
in the session remaining in use.
NOTE: Careful use of
At first glance it appears that we should always use
In addition, there are many other interesting methods on
Now that we understand the lifecycle of a session, how do we go about
obtaining a session and using it to our advantage? The
HttpServletRequest interface provides two methods for working with
public HttpSession getSession() always returns either a new
session or an existing session.
getSession() returns an existing session if a valid session ID
was somehow provided (perhaps via a cookie). It returns a new session in
several cases: the client's initial session (no session ID provided), a
timed-out session (session ID provided), an invalid session (session ID
provided), or an explictly invalidated session (session ID provided).
public HttpSession getSession(boolean) may return a new
session, an existing session, or
getSession(true) returns an existing session if possible.
Otherwise it creates a new session.
getSession(false) returns an
existing session if possible and otherwise returns
We have still only solved half of the problem at hand. We'd like to be able to skip over the "session new" state and move to the "session in use" state automatically. We can achieve this by redirecting the browser to the handling servlet automatically. Listing 3 combines servlet session logic with the ability to redirect clients with valid sessions to the handling servlet.
Listing 3:
01: package multiplesubmits;
03: import java.io.*;
04: import java.util.Date;
05: import javax.servlet.*;
06: import javax.servlet.http.*;
08: public class RedirectServlet extends HttpServlet{
09: public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
10: throws ServletException, IOException {
11: HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
12: System.out.println("");
13: System.out.println("-------------------------------------");
14: System.out.println("SessionServlet::doGet");
15: System.out.println("Session requested ID in Request:" +
16: req.getRequestedSessionId());
17: if ( null == req.getRequestedSessionId() ) {
18: System.out.println("No session ID, first call,
creating new session and forwarding");
19: session = req.getSession(true);
20: System.out.println("Generated session ID in Request: " +
21: session.getId());
22: String encodedURL = res.encodeURL("/RedirectServlet");
23: System.out.println("res.encodeURL(\"/RedirectServlet\");="
24: res.sendRedirect(encodedURL);
25: //
26: // RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(encodedURL);
27: // rd.forward(req,res);
28: //
29: return;
30: }
31: else {
32: System.out.println("Session id = " +
req.getRequestedSessionId() );
33: System.out.println("No redirect required");
34: }
36: HandleRequest(req,res);
37: System.out.println("SessionServlet::doGet returning");
38: System.out.println("------------------------------------");
39: return;
40: }
42: void HandleRequest(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
43: throws IOException {
44: System.out.println("SessionServlet::HandleRequest called");
45: res.setContentType("text/html");
46: PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
47: Date date = new Date();
48: out.println("");
49: out.println("<title>Ticket Confirmation</title>");
50: out.println("");
51: out.println("
The Current Date And Time Is:

");
52: out.println("
" + date.toString() + "
");
53: out.println("");
54: out.println("");
55: System.out.println("SessionServlet::HandleRequest returning");
56: return;
57: }
58: }
Just how does this solve our problem? Examining the code closely shows that
on line 11 we try to obtain a session handle. On line 17 we identify that an
active session exists by checking the session ID for
null, or by
checking for a valid session ID. Either method suffices. Lines 18-29 are
executed if no session exists. We handle the multiple submit problem by first
creating a session as shown on line 19, using URL encoding to add the new session
ID as shown on line 22, and then redirecting our servlet to the newly encoded URL,
as shown on line 24.
Lines 26 & 27, while commented out, are shown as an example of something not
to do. On first glance,
Readers unfamiliar with URL rewriting are directed to lines 15 and 23. An
HttpServlet object has the ability to rewrite a URL. This
process inserts a session ID into a URL. The underlying application server can
then use the encoded URL to provide an existing session automatically to a
servlet or JSP. Depending on the application server, you may need to enable
URL rewriting for the above example to work!

Will it be easy? Against the two worst teams in our division? Unfortunately, I don't think it will be. We're left with 3 truly solid starters: Santana, Perez, and Pelfrey. The other two spots in the rotation are Big Ifs. What's more, now we've lost Billy Wagner. Really lost him. This sucks.
But what will win or lose these games will be the offense. Our lineup can't just stop hitting. They can't. I was at both games of the double header vs. the Phils on Sunday, and that first game? When the Mets couldn't get a hit to save their lives for 2/3 of the game? I went with CrazyMetGirl. This is what we looked like:
Thankfully, happier times would be ahead for the 2nd game. Still, the team has to fight for these next 12 games. Don't get complacent, like last year. Don't figure–oh, it's just the crappy Braves and Nats. They'll get you if you let them, Metsies!
Here's what you do when you're stuck at Shea for a couple hours between games. The team store looooves you.

Yes, I would've been thinking "it's just the crappy Braves (or Marlins) and Nats", just as I thought last September. But, I've learned my lesson. I just hope Chipper doesn't give us an adios Shea present this weekend, as only he can do. Our lineup hasn't stopped hitting, but our starters have been a little shaky the last two nights. I worry when we need 23 runs to beat a last place team.
I am rooting for the Astros to win the wild card. I don't know about you, but I would rather face Berkman, Lee, and Wigginton in the NLDS than Prince Fielder, Braun, and Corey Hart.
Guys- did you see– there is a Magic Number– 14.
I woke up and went to MetsBlog, and saw that we have a Magic Number! I can't believe it, we are really talking about a Magic Number!!!
