Dark Shadows: Photo Filter App Adds Some Quirky Color To Your Otherwise Dull Photos
It's not unusual for major motion picture studios to come out with companion apps to go along with the release of their new movies. Warner Bros. is one of those studios, whose continuous investment in mobile marketing keeps this trend going. And it's showing no signs of ever stopping, what with the launch of the latest mobile marketing tool to come out of its fold. The new app is called Dark Shadows: Photo Filter App, a photo filter app (obviously) based on the movie "Dark Shadows" (obviously). "Dark Shadows" is the latest joint project of frequent collaborators Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, the director-actor pair most famous for "Edward Scissorhands." Based on the classic American soap opera of the same name, "Dark Shadows" tells the fish-out-of-water story of Barnabas Collins, a 200-year old vampire. As you might expect from a vampire movie directed by Burton and starring Depp, there's a lot of dark humor and none of that sparkly nonsense. The movie also bears a distinct look, and it's this look that Dark Shadows: Photo Filter App seeks to, er, filter. [caption id="attachment_300096" align="aligncenter" width="320" caption="Dark Shadows: Photo Filter App is Instagram meets the new Johnny Depp movie."][/caption] Dark Shadows: Photo Filter App is an Instagram-style app that lets you edit your photos to make them look like they're lifted straight from the movie. After loading an existing photo from your photo library or taking a new one, you can select from any of the available filters. Each filter is represented by a main character from "Dark Shadows" overlaid with a particular hue associated with that character. You can also select a special gothic frame for your photo before sharing it via Facebook, Twitter, or email. Designed for iPhone and iPod touch, Dark Shadows: Photo Filter App is now available in the App Store. "Dark Shadows," on the other hand, is now available at a theater near you.

KCRA did the math to find out how much it would cost to travel from Sacramento to New Orleans to watch Super Bowl XLVII.
Airplane tickets from Sacramento International Airport to the Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans start at $787 on kayak.com. The average ticket price is closer to $1,025.
Hotels in New Orleans are priced between $400 and $700 per night to stay within 10 miles of the Superdome. If fans want to stay less than a mile from the stadium, it could cost around $1,600 to $2,700.
A rental car will cost between $20 and $60 per day depending on the style of car, for a total of $68 to $179 with tax. Public transportation, however, is a good and cheap option around New Orleans. A bus ride costs about $1.25, or $9 for a three-day pass.
There are several parties around New Orleans during Super Bowl weekend, but most will cost you a pretty penny. Taste of the NFL and the HDNet DirectTV Super Bowl Party are both charging $600 per person. A ticket to the Celebrity Beach Bowl is $420. The VIP Pregame Party is also $420.
Parking and tailgating near the Superdome can cost anywhere from $20 to $900. According to ESPN.com, one Dallas lot charged $990 at the 2011 Super Bowl for parking one-tenth of a mile away from the stadium. The parking spot included restroom access and tailgate privileges.
Super Bowl tickets are still up for grabs, and most web sites suggest buying a ticket closer to game day anyway since prices typically decrease. Upper level seats run between $2,035 and $3,500 per ticket, while lower level spots can be found anywhere from $4,000 to $7,900.
While in New Orleans, plan on spending about $50 per day per person on food. Hot dogs at the stadium will run about $8. A domestic beer can be enjoyed for $12. The food vendor at this year's Super Bowl is selling $15 Po'Boy sandwiches, $6 waffle fries and $30 Gulf Shrimp Cocktails.
Fans who make the trip to New Orleans can expect to pay at least $35 for a hat and $100 for a Super Bowl game day jersey.
Spending the least amount of money in these categories would cost one person about $4,600 to make the trip to New Orleans. High-end spenders will pay up to $15,300 per person for their Super Bowl experience.

This one has to do with the common claim of the anti-abortion crowd that abortion adds to a woman's breast cancer risk. It doesn't. At all. Full stop.
If there are ethical and medical objections to make to the practice of abortion, then by all means, those ought to be argued and assessed on their merits. But it's clear that the anti-abortion movement has always been about religious ideology first, with scientific facts a distant second. And they've been perfectly happy to tell women pernicious lies about their health risks in order to further inculcate them with fear and guilt over what is already a sad and difficult decision.
I've always said that proper sex education is the key to reducing unwanted pregnancies and, by extension, abortion. Education, of course, must deal in information and not disinformation. Why isn't it surprising that religious extremists who are all too willing to attack others for their "moral relativism" are perfectly happy to engage in such themselves, if doing so helps to further a particular social agenda?

Hawaii man is source of National Security leaks
The man who revealed the existence of two top-secret National Security Agency surveillance programs gathered some of the information at his workplace in Hawaii before leaving several weeks ago for Hong Kong, media sources reported.
The Guardian newspaper identified Edward Snowden, 29, as the source of the leaks, which have touched off the latest national debate over secret government monitoring of Americans' activities.
"I am not going to hide," the Washington Post quoted Snowden as saying. "Allowing the U.S. government to intimidate its people with threats of retaliation for revealing wrongdoing is contrary to the public interest."
The Post said Snowden wanted to step out of the shadows as the source of the information, and that he plans to seek asylum from any countries "that believe in free speech."
Snowden was a former technical assistant for the CIA, but more recently worked for the NSA as a contractor with Booz Allen Hamilton, the Guardian reported.
The newspaper said he had "a very comfortable life" with a salary of about $200,000 and a home in Hawaii that he shared with a girlfriend.
At the NSA office in Hawaii where he worked, he copied the last set of documents he planned to disclose, the Guardian said.
NSA and other authorities have twice visited his home in Hawaii and contacted his girlfriend, the newspaper reported.

Results tagged ' Edwar Ramirez '
Yankees Rally But Lose Late To Relentless Pirates
- Nick Johnson proved his back injury was not such a big deal after all when he hit a pair of solo home runs in his two at-bats of day. Both home runs came off Pirates' starter Charlie Morton.
- The Yankees came storming back from a 6-3 deficit with a four-run rally in the fourth inning capped by a two-out single by Jorge Posada.
- Jon Weber, who replaced Johnson as the DH in the fourth, came through with a two-run double that tied the score at 6. He later scored on Posada's single. Weber also doubled in the ninth inning as is now batting .700 on the spring.
- Following up on his two doubles and three RBIs on Monday, Nick Swisher singled to drive in Posada in the first inning.
- Left-hander Royce Ring and Romulo Sanchez combined to pitch 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief. They did not allow a hit and struck out three.
- Starter CC Sabathia did not fare too well in his second outing. He was tagged for five runs on seven hits and a walk in just 2 1/3 innings. The big blow came on a three-run home run by Garrett Jones in the first inning. In fact, after the first four Pirate batters collected hits, the Pirates held a 4-0 lead.
- Boone Logan had his first rocky outing of the spring and he was unable to preserve the Yankees' 8-7 lead in the eighth inning.
- Hector Noesi completely unraveled in the ninth inning, giving up four runs, three earned, on three hits and a walk.
- Curtis Granderson, who had been hitless this spring, actually wowed the fans at Steinbrenner Field with a triple to right-center to lead off the fifth inning. However, Swisher struck out swinging, Randy Winn also struck out swinging and Juan Miranda grounded out and Granderson was stranded at third. Considering the Pirates later rallied to win the game, the inability to score Granderson may be the key reason why it happened.
- First baseman Jorge Vazquez made things a lot worse in the ninth inning when he dropped a routine throw from Reegie Corona that would have ended the inning with the Pirates leading 11-7. A single by catcher Hector Gimenez drove in the 12th run two pitches later.
- Yankees pitchers combined to give up 15 hits and four walks to the same Pirates team they had limited to one hit and shutout the day before.

Backup catcher Francisco Cervelli went through his first full workout with the team after he suffered a concussion in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays. Cervelli is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday when the Yankees play the Nationals. . . . Managing partner Hal Steinbrenner said that the Yankees will not alter their policy of not talking about extensions during the season for the expiring contracts of their personnel — which applies to Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Joe Girardi. Though Steinbrenner said he would like the trio to remain, any talks about extensions will have to come after the 2010 season.

The New York Jets fell 19-17 to the division rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, putting an end to their 2011 campaign.
The Jets came in needing a victory and a lot of help in order to make the playoffs for a third consecutive season, and neither happened.
They finished the season on a three-game losing streak, their second such streak of the season. There is plenty of blame to go around for the Jets' struggles, and changes will be made.
A long offseason is on the horizon, but before we start talking about that, let's take one final look and see what we learned from their latest loss.

Thirteen years after I came back (in the early 1990's), I was inspired by Gwendolyn Brooks to write about these experiences. Over the next six months hundreds of poems poured out of me. The war against Apartheid was running full bore. The world was finally taking notice in many ways, and joining in the fight. Gwendolyn was writing about near Johannesburg, Soweto, and Winnie and Nelson Mandela. We all met the great South African dissident poet in exile, Dennis Brutus, and were inspired by his story and writing. I was reading everything I could get my hands on pertaining to the politics of Apartheid in Southern Africa, writing my poems, and performing in my white t-shirt (specially designed by a friend), which depicted a black Bart Simpson screaming. "Free South Africa Now". I was young. It was a time of heady influences. This is where my first wave of South Africa poems came from.
Thirteen years later, because of these very same poems, I met South African writer Candy Tothill. Here was another person who lived, breathed and understood my fascination and love for the things I wrote about. We became friends. It was Candy who inspired me to write more poems, as well as, the memoir/stories that were published sequentially throughout 2007 and 2008 in the online magazine 'Sketchbook'. It was then that the idea on how to go back to South Africa began brewing in my mind.
The complications in my life are incredibly complicated.
Without going into any horrid details, the United States Government won't issue me a passport until I pay a certain debt (that I have been chipping away at for years) in full. It is a dilemma. It occurred to me that I could re-write these memoirs/stories into book form in the hopes of raising the money to pay this debt. That was the plan. Somewhere between here and there, and four years later the plan and everything else in my life has spiraled out of control. Every time I mention writing the book about South Africa, somebody has a fucking cow.
It is important to understand why I am writing this book.
I have actively been writing in circles for the last two to four years. I have fretted over formatting, the question of poetry, mixing genres, fiction vs non-fiction, re-writing chapters and liking them less than the original published stories. I have thought of a million things I never mentioned in the stories. But mostly, I have come to realize that the book is as much about my mother and father and to a certain extent my sisters, as myself. I need hardly point out that the fact that my parents are now both deceased puts a whole different perspective on everything. It is their story. It is our story. It is my story. It is a story about living under the influence of the darker side of human nature, about human dignity, about beauty and hope and despair. It is a story about Africa and snakes and tennis rackets. It is a subtle story about why Apartheid ultimately failed. It is a story about laughter and love and terror. It is a grand adventure. And it is up to me to write it before I too am gone.
No matter what else happens in my life, no matter where I go or don't go as fate will have it, I know that if I do not finish this book, I will regret it for the rest of my life … it is as simple as that.

Hereupon exists a place to discuss current Steam Spotlight deals and your opinion of the games' value and/or the sale price.
5K Comments - Linear Discussion: Classic Style
Quite possibly. It's also been on sale several times before - I'm guessing this time it's to promote the semi-sequel.
Should I bother to get the newest POP game? I know it's impossible to die and all that.
I have Sands of Time but not the others.
Sands of Time is the only must-own, I think, though the others in the series aren't bad (particularly Two Thrones). The newer POP is pretty to look at and interesting, even if it doesn't quite have the charm of Sands. It's worth a get while it's cheap
Okay, wait.
Buying all the individual games comes out to $12.50 (5 games @ $2.50 ea), but buying them in a bundle is $15. And apparently each of the 5 games is down from $10, while the bundle is down from $60.
What sense does that make?
Price-wise, they've screwed up completely. Oops. But even so, you might as well get them all.
(Disclaimer that the following is my opinion only, etc)
Warrior Within had the best (and [Highlight]bloodiest[/Highlight]) fighting mechanics of the entire series and some very nicely designed levels giving more of an open feel than the rest of the series, but the tone was amazingly emo and the female characters... yeesh. I refuse to believe that anyone can cosplay as them without enduring some MAJOR chafing.
Two Thrones is definitely a solid game, but in the attempt to be somewhere in between SoT and WW in terms of setting and tone it feels a little lost in decided what it's trying to be. The writing's a bit generic, the levels VERY linear, the combat a little tamer than WW and the chariot chases can go die in a fire.
Forgotten Sands feels like someone else making a PoP game in that it just feels a little bit off. The running-jumping-fighting mechanics are all fine, but they're just different enough from the other games to feel slightly wrong somehow. Still a fun game, mind, and the elemental powers are fun, but the bosses are weak and it's oddly short compared to the others.
PoP '08... it's weird. I used to call it Quick-Time-Event: The Game, but then Heavy Rain came out and proved what a QTE game actually is, so now I have to call it Auto-Pilot: The Game. The whole idea of the game is that you're rarely not moving, and the whole 'no death' thing means that the flow of the game is almost constant, and everything's been simplified to maintain that (from the controls to the game mechanics), but yeah, it does make it rather easy as well.
None of the games are out-and-out bad. At their worst, they're still perfectly enjoyable games. But each one has their own flaws and quirks, which is why I say get 'em all. They're all different, and you're bound to like at least one of them.
If anyone's looking for another shot to get Borderlands 2 cheap, I just found one at Gamesplanet UK. 50% off, making £14.99 (ie €17.67, $22.69).der_ketzer;782969 said:Also Borderlands 2 is cheap on Gamersgate (and they ran out of keys)
So if you want to start hating Claptrap right now this is your chance.
Also of note is that it uses Ubisoft's always-on DRM, which I didn't notice until just after I bought it just now.Chyron8472;783517 said:Should I bother to get the newest POP game? I know it's impossible to die and all that.
I thought they'd switched it to a basic one-time activation now. Or was that just AssCreed?GuruGuru214;783587 said:Also of note is that it uses Ubisoft's always-on DRM, which I didn't notice until just after I bought it just now.

Marty Kairey, a resident of New Jersey who is commercially brewing his very own liqueur, also wants to bring an old-country drink to the tables of the new country.
That drink is called arak - a Middle Eastern delicacy with a long history, being sold under the brand name "Zachlawi."
And it is arriving as a stylish drink in a stylish manner: The wavy, clear-glass bottle "is something you'll quickly recognize, and different from anything else in taste and in look," affirms the 43-year-old entrepreneur.
Kairey, of Syrian-Sephardic background, is a self-described enthusiast with a meticulous streak for emulating old-fashioned formulas. He's a stickler for good reason: There must be something to it, since people have been drinking and making arak for hundreds of years without adulterating the recipe.
Kairey, who says he wants to introduce that old-time flavor to a new generation, adds that his distillery is the first to open in the New Jersey area in more than 60 years.
Commercially available arak is brewed with molasses. Kairey preferred to use other ingredients, based on generations of making and drinking arak.
Zachlawi is made with fresh ingredients like figs, raisins and star anise. "It has a major impact on the final product," he says, explaining that star anise smells like black licorice, and adds that kind of taste to the liquor.
Almost a year in the making, he expects the drink to arrive on shelves by Chanukah, in select cities in California, New Jersey, New York and Florida, and also in some parts of Canada.

DORA — Senior Grady Herrera scored 21 points and the Tatum boys held off Dora 52-50 Monday night.
Senior Jesse Montanez added 12 points for Tatum (2-0). The host Coyotes were led by 19 pointws from junior Tyler Wilhoite, while juniors J.R. Gonzales (14) and Brent Hays (12) also reached double figures.
Dora coach Ty Thatcher said the Coyotes led through most of the first quarter, but fell behind after getting in foul trouble in the second stanza and couldn't catch up.
"They pressed us (in the first half); in the second half they went to a matchup zone," Thatcher said. "We got some good looks, but we couldn't get them to fall."
Tatum also took the junior varsity preliminary 63-46.

If we're talking about ONLY the horizontal position against time, we do get a function that is nicely approximated by a quadratic.
I get x(t) = -0.4373t^2 + 3.9568t + 0.0490
The derivative of this is x'(t) = -0.8746t + 3.9568
This gives the first three pieces of velocity
x'(0) = 3.9568
x'(1) = 3.0822
x'(2) = 2.2076
On the other hand, the first three first differences of the given data suggest:
(0.8-0)/0.2 = 4
(1.56-0.8)/0.2 = 3.8
(2.29-1.56)/0.2 = 3.65
There is some discrepancy there. If you can come to terms with exactly when the two versions are measured, perhaps you can reconcile them.
Hint: Derivative are instantaneous and differences are averages.

A Social App About Pizza - Seriously???
Thanks for your replies - as for what it would do, I am still working that out. At a minimum - it would let people quickly find, talk about, and rate pizza. maybe it could be gamified a bit - achievements, rewards, unlocks, rep, etc.
in order for the app to be a success - it would have to be compelling enough such that it was a lifestyle app vs. a casual use app. social apps that aren't used by the intended audience.. well aren't very useful.
the app would have to be compelling enough for pizzeria owners to want to put their shop on the site and let people socialize about it. they can already do this with FB, Zagatt, Google Places, and Yelp - none of which are exclusive to good pizza. I also think - maybe it could be compelling to make it available to only small family owned shops - i.e. mega / globo pizza joints not allowed.
people would have to be interested enough in pizza and the features provided by the app to keep the content fresh and alive - and to use the app, because using the app would generate fresh content.
my research is showing - that pizza is a huge market place - but that "pizza" isn't as much of a persons daily lifestyle as say "beer". my research is also showing that finding "the best pizza" isn't as much of a priority as say "how many beers you tried" from "pub X".
that being said - maybe I am doing my research in the wrong places - I will give it until 12/15/2012 or so... and see how it goes.
Thanks a ton for taking a moment to leave me some feedback.
A Social App About Pizza - Seriously???
@darklighter hmm - yes i see your point. The reality is - i don't care about my sites, i just care about the question being asked & the opinion. nothing is for sale - just looking for honest answers. If there is no interest - this thread will die and never be heard from again.
A Social App About Pizza - Seriously???
Is it spam - to ask a community related to pizza - if they are interested in a social app about pizza? I dunno - I guess that since you think its "spam" then you aren't interested?
I really want to know your opinion - is this the wrong place to ask?
Also - I gave my suggestion for the best pizza in Downtown Denver - have I violated the terms of your community in some way?

Pregis adds Microfoam Green to its packaging line
October 26, 2011-- Casual Living,
Pregis Corp. has introduced a line extension for its Microfoam low-density polypropylene sheet foam packaging. Microfoam Green is now available as an alternative for agriculture, automotive, construction, electronics, appliance, food, fulfillment/mail order, furniture, houseware, moving/ storage, pharmaceutical, publishing and transportation companies interesting in elevating their environmental profile.
"We created a green-colored version of our long-standing white Microfoam sheet foam because many of our customers wanted to visually communicate the product's environmental pluses," explains Dache Davidson, director of marketing, Pregis.
Microfoam's photodegradable properties were recently validated by an independent lab. Three samples were subjected to UV and temperature conditions specified by ASTM G154-6 testing protocol. The results showed that Microfoam disintegrates between 44 and 77 hours.
Microfoam also is manufactured with 40% less resin than polyethylene foam in the same thickness and is lighter weight than small air cushioning at equal square footage. In addition to source reduction, this has a positive impact on shipping costs.
"It's important to brand owners that they communicate to consumers that the packaging choices they are making are positive ones. Microfoam Green gives them one more alternative. As the only U.S. manufacturer of PP sheet foam, we are pleased to be able to add this line extension to the Pregis family of products," Davidson says.
Microfoam also offers a high coefficient of friction (COF) which means that it clings to the item it is protecting. "Products typically vibrate and shift during transit. When they have polished metal surfaces, it becomes even more important that the cushioning material used for protection isn't the very thing that causes damage," said Davidson.
Microfoam Green is available in 1/16-inch thickness and roll widths of 24-, 36- and 72-inches. The roll length is 2,500 feet with custom options available.

Puerto Rican authorities on Thursday detained 91 undocumented migrants from Haiti and the Dominican Republic as they were trying to illegally enter the U.S. commonwealth, police said.
The group was made up of 60 men, 27 women and a child, all Haitians, and three Dominicans, the Puerto Rico Police Department said in a statement.
The undocumented migrants were traveling on a boat 12 meters (40 feet) long some 8 nautical miles southwest of the Desecheo islet located between Puerto Rico and the island of Hispaniola, which is shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Personnel from the U.S. Coast Guard took charge of the migrants, who were found to be in good health, with an eye toward their deportation, the PRPD said. EFE

Since I graduated from Law School, took and passed the Bar, I now have commutes free and clear to actually read for pleasure (as opposed to reading for school) and I finally have gotten around the starting The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons.
I am only 150 pages or so in but the first chapter gave me flashes and revelations about the Knicks.
The story starts with Simmons at a pool with a few friends in Vegas, when Gus Johnson saw the Sports Guy and asked to introduce him to none other than our good friend Isiah Thomas. Simmons had spent thousands of words eviscerating Isiah Thomas, and Simmons was understandably nervous to meet Isiah, who actually threatened Simmons in the media.
But one thing stood out about Isiah, his mention of "The Secret" when he was a player in the 1989 Finals. Isiah Thomas said to the media, on the secret to winning basketball: "It's not about physical skills. Goes far beyond that...The art of winning is complicated by statistics, which for us becomes money. Well you gotta find away around that...We got 12 guys who are totally committed to winning basketball...Lots of times, on our team, you can't tell who the best player in the game was. Because everyone did something good. That's what makes us good. The other team has to worry about stopping eight or nine people instead of two or three. It's the only way to win...That's the way the game was invented."
Notice, however, that Isiah never says what the secret is. In that long quote (and it's much longer in the book) - it's never clear what the secret is. So Simmons asked Isiah what the secret is.
Isiah smirks and responds: The secret of basketball is that it's not about basketball.
Read that again. The secret of basketball is that it's not about basketball.
Isiah went on to explain that Dennis Rodman needed more minutes, only Adrian Dantley refused to give it to him. When his minutes were threatened, Dantley got in a tiff. Dantley was traded midseason for Mark Aguirre, and the minutes were split in a much better and efficient manner. And the Pistons won the title in 1989.
Further, Simmons recalled a time when Isiah watched 1988 NBA Finals on an old NBA Show on ESPN where Dan Patrick would interview key players. As the minutes ticked down and a hobbled Isiah tried to will his team to victory on one leg to no avail, the show went back live to Isiah and Patrick...and Isiah was crying. He had never seen the video, never watched his team. And 11 years later it brought tears to his eyes.
And this is where I started thinking.
I met Charles Smith not long ago - I told him he got fouled in 1993. It was one of my first memories as a Knicks fan, as a 6 year old crying because the Knicks lost to the Bulls. Smith looked up at me with a half-forced smile and said "I know. I'm sorry." I'm sorry.
Would Carmelo ever cry after watching a close loss so close to glory? Would Amare apologize to a fan 16 years after a pivotal play didn't go his way, through no fault of his own?
This game isn't about basketball - sure talent often wins out - but it's about having guys committed to playing. And that's where the Carmelo trade and the constant turnover hurts. And that's why these ridiculous trades that are bantered about on this board make me want to lose my lunch as a fan.
Being a team, being committed to one another, that's what this game is about. Not about jersey sales. Not about "star power". Not about expecting teams with insane turnover to gel immediately.
Having 12 guys committed to the game, but more importanly committed and caring about EACH OTHER, is most important. I've seen trades looking for turnover AGAIN. To me, this just starts the process over again - and to me this makes us fans look like we are more out of touch with what is winning basketball.
What we need might be a coaching change, but what we need more is for the roster to stay closer to the same than to different. If we have 12 guys on the roster, as opposed to having 1 team, we are doomed as a team no matter who is the coach. And if we have turnover again, we are doomed to repeat and look back on these days with a lack of fondness similar to the way we look at the Curry-Marbury years.
It's not about basketball. It's about everyone buying in and wanting to win not for themselves or their brand. But for each other. Trading guys all over again makes this impossible.
Look at a team like Denver - no "star" so to speak but a solid 12-man team that grinds you out. They have 12 guys committed to playing winning basketball, 12 guys that love to play the game, love to practice, love to work hard. On paper, the Nuggets are nowhere near as talented as many teams out west. But the game isn't played on paper. It isn't played with names. It isn't a fantasy league.
It's a team game. And the only way to win is as a team. It's not about basketball, it's about the guys. It's about getting them to care so much that 11 years later footage of a loss brings tears to their eyes. It's about getting them to care so much that 15 years later they still feel regret for a 15-second span in a game.
Dolan's constant meddling, constant desire to blow up the team over the head of Donnie Walsh who actually built a squad that was competitive and gelling, and what is likely to be a disaster of a trade.
But "fixing" that trade by blowing this team up again really fixes nothing. It only leaves us further in a quagmire. It leaves us where Isiah as a GM differed so markedly from Isiah as a player (which, as pointed out, is not uncommon - guys who get the secret as a player do not often get the secret as a GM).
It's not about basketball.

I am afraid that we have positioned ourselves back into cap hell without even close to a truly title contendng team.
Perhaps we can turn things around. I see a loss in Houston tonight but then, hopefully, a new start against Detroit on Tuesday with Baron, a humbled but healthy Carmelo and the Amare of last year.
Nice thread! And a refreshing one....
Simmons' always extolled the Celtics' excellence -- championship excellence -- as being propelled by their "ubunto" (spelling), or team unity and collective trust and heart.
This is also what leads to profound defensive team efforts.
Book of Basketball is epic; I started it on a whim, and read every free moment I had till it was finished.
And even at 1000+ pages, I'd love to re-read it all over.
Wow, you should post this in every stupid trade thread on this forum.Iv'e kinda been saying this all along, no more trades, give them some time to gel, and learn to care for one another.I still hate this coach though, post of the day.
True that. Stat the 10th best NBA player, Melo the 7th best player, Chandler a top 10 Center is not supposed to equal the big fat 0 they've been this season.
Question is, like in that movie "Moneyball" could you have predicted this team would be this bad and dysfunctional.
Good stuff.
But there's a surprisingly lack of Chuck Daly references.
A winning team does need that camaraderie, passion, commitment, and group focus on that one goal.
But if anyone else in here was fortunate enough to play for "that" coach, the one that you would have run thru a wall for, you had coach's back and you knew he had yours, everything he told you was for your benefit, he never bull****ted you, he was strict but loyal at the same time, he spoke -- you shut the hell up and listened. When that man has the players who are teammates above all else, it's dangerous.
So my question is, do the Knicks have that man?
I'm not sure about the roster. I get the feeling Melo cares, when the team is under performing, you can see it on his face on the court, in his body language, and in the frustration in his voice after the games; same with Chandler. STAT recites the same PC lines, but when he's on the court he looks aloof, until he makes a nice dunk, pounds his chest, pops out his mouth piece, and gets down the court. I don't recall STAT looking aloof last year, even during the struggles.
How often do we hear, in football, about coaches "reaching and relating" to their players? Is it so different in basketball? Look at the 49ers who've had minimal roster turnover the last 3 years, had various head coaches....18 wins; one move at the top, the players have a voice to listen to, a voice they trust, a voice who they're confident in....13 wins, a first round by, and a trip to the NFC Championship game....virtually the same roster as last year, save for a few complimentary moves.
I have no doubt that we have players who want to and can be coached. Players on a team do not have to like each other, it doesn't have to be a family, everyone has to respect that one person and listen to his word. His word is all that matters, his respect is all that matters, if you have to play for anyone...play for him. If he's as good a strategist as he is a leader, he'll lead you to some victories.
The organization has the pieces, do they have that man to assemble them in the proper fashion?

Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Great post bro. I'm sick of seeing all these trade threads already...it's ridiculous. I do feel we need a coaching change, but I know many of us feel this way. Here's to keeping our core in tact and giving them some time to win together.
@ClydeFacts "When one of his ladys asked clyde why he doesnt text he said if you dont get the message by now a phone aint gonna help." Except for Kate. Wobble Wobble!
Very good article, the best I've read on this board in quite a while - kudos to you KBlack!
The message comes across and I agree with it.
That's also why I have been so critical of STAT's 'off-court duties', because winning championships and beeing a true superstar 'top 10 player' or whatever is not only about basketball, in fact Kobe's succes is only partially explained by his talent, talent is nothing without sacrifice, dedication, ultimate commitment, focus, the strength to go through pain without quitting and even obsession with what you do.
There are too many very talented and good basketball players in the league, you can't just win by beeing talented or good, you have to make sacrifices and only care about winning, you need to want it so bad that you don't care about no party, no rap video, no dinner, no date, no Maybach, no mansion and no commercial - all you want is winning and all you care about are those 15 men on the roster. You might not like everyone of them, but you will step up for each and everyone of them and make them better and they will go out on the court and fight for you and make you better.
That's winning. I wish we had Al Pacino as head coach, his speech in Any Given Sunday still gives me chills every time I watch it, despite beeing from '99
Or the Knicks should just hire me, I'm good at emotional speeches
D'Antoni and the others can discuss tactics, I do the pep talk.
Exellent Post....5 Star post
It takes me back to the reason why "Pat Riley" quit on the conference FINALS Knicks.
Coach Pat Riley built a contender team around "Ewing & Oakley", he even picked up two great players from the CBA-League (D.League) in Anthony Mason & John Starks.
All Coach Pat Riley to do was call all the shots on who get traded and who dont get traded....he wanted to build committed-players.
Owner Dolan being a multi-bussiness owner has always luv to make one or two transaction using his million dollar contract players on the Knicks or Rangers. Over the years alot of Knicks and Rangers transaction had owner Dolan written all on it. Players coming and going so much upset coach JVG into quitting the Knicks.
One of the most well thought out and written posts on here contender for Post of the Year! Kudos KBlack.
This post shows why the Melo deal will haunt us...

Development of small-molecule sphingosine kinase inhibitors, role of sphingosine kinase in development/progression of tobacco-carcinogen induced lung cancer.
The primary research interest of our laboratory is focused on the identification of mechanisms involved in the oncogenic role of sphingosine kinase (SK). In cancer cells, dysregulation of cell growth and/or apoptosis is closely linked to the sphingolipid metabolites, ceramide and sphingosine-l-phosphate (S-1-P). Ceramide induces cell growth arrest and apoptosis whereas S-1-P, a further metabolite of ceramide, promotes cell growth and/or protects from apoptosis. Ample evidence indicates that S-1-P, formed by activation of SK, can serve as an intracellular second messenger which modulates signaling pathways critical for cancer cell growth and survival. In fact, S-1-P antagonizes apoptosis mediated by ceramide, a stress-induced sphingolipid metabolite, suggesting that the intracellular ratio of these two sphingolipid metabolites and consequent regulation of opposing signaling pathways, are important factors that determine the fate of cancer cells. It is our hypothesis that SK, which catalyzes formation of S-1-P, plays a pivotal role in regulation of cancer cell proliferation and/or survival. Currently, we are developing/optimizing small-molecule inhibitors of SK as anti-cancer therapeutic agents. Additionally, we are exploring the role of SK in the development and/or progression of lung cancer caused by carcinogens present in tobacco smoke. Understanding the role of SK in this process will allow us to validate our novel small-molecule SK inhibitors as potential anti-lung cancer therapeutic agents.

I can point out that your statement, "since the hypothetical ancestral possibilities are infinite, that no number can be excluded from a possible result" is incorrect. There are an infinite number of even numbers (so the "hypothetical ancestral possiblities" are infinite) but you certainly can't say "no number can be excluded from a possible result: any odd number can be excluded.
Saying that a set contains an infinite collection of numbers does NOT mean that "every number is in it" nor that "we cannot exclulde any number". Another, more relevant example: the set of all numbers of the form m/2^n for m and n positive integers contains an infinitely many numbers but does not contain the number 1/3 because 3 is not 2^n for any n.
It would be a rather complicated mathematical proof but the basic idea is just what your brother said: If A is purely Italian and B is purely some other ethnicity, then any child will get half his genes from A and half from B and so will be "A/2+ B/2= (A+B)/2" "Italian". If A and B are each "part Italian", you still have (A+ B)/2 and so a "2" in the denominator. No matter how far you go back, 100 generations or 1000, in each step, you will be dividing by a new power of 2. Because you start with integer number of genes ("pure Italian" or "pure non-Italian"), the only thing that ever happens to the denominator is "dividing by 2". You can only have a "power of 2" in the denominator, never a "3".


text: The phrase Black Friday was originally coined from a financial crisis that occurred in the US, in 1869. Its reference to the "kick-off" to the holiday shopping season frenzy didn't come about until the 1960's in Philadelphia. Now, everyone knows that Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and usually bedlam is let loose. Some associate it with excitement of hunting down the best bargains of the Holiday season and some see it as something to avoid like the Flu.

People just don't go back to smoking full-time because they want to. They go back because something in their life made it seem impossible to get through without it. That's why people relapse. They think whatever situation they're in, they need to suddenly light up. That couldn't be further from the truth.
I've relapsed 100's of times. The most times is always on Day 1, because in my mind, I think that going back after only a few hours is not such a big deal. Day 1 is the hardest day to get through by far, which also makes it the easiest day to relapse.
It's happened weeks after I've quit, too It's always usually because of some huge event, like a holiday, or a party. It's hard because you can be so sure of yourself going into it, but all it really takes is one slip, or one vulnerable moment, and then it's all over. You go back to square one.
Yes, you do go back to square one, and don't let anyone tell you differently. You are not them and they are not you. A lot of people will say to you, "You can have one or two and be fine." No, you absolutely cannot!
Having one or two, or even a single drag, leads you straight back to a full-blown addiction. Nicotine is one of the strongest substances in the world, and the most addicting. You think you can easily fool it? It will easily fool YOU! It will convince you beyond reasonable doubt that having just one or two will NOT result in a relapse. Sadly, the opposite is true. You'll be back to smoking full-time in a matter of days, if not hours.
If you go back, you don't just continue your great life as it was when you woke up in the morning, only now an addict again, NO! You go back to the miserable life you were leading when you were a full-time tobacco user. You go all the way back! You have to go through all the withdrawal as if you were just quitting for the first time once again. Nothings changes, nicotine doesn't give you a free pass. It doesn't say, "I'll let it slide this time." It will do anything it takes to keep you in its grip.
It doesn't just take a day out of your life, either, because you've had a couple of cigarettes. Now, that you're back to square one, it's going to take possibly weeks or months before you are mentally ready, and in the right frame of mind, to make a genuine attempt again. Smokers hardly ever just smoke for one night and quit the next day. Nicotine is too smart for that. It will haunt you day in and day out, and in your most vulnerable moments, until you give in and throw in the towel.
This is why it's so important to never allow that one vulnerable moment to exist in your life. If you don't feel you are ready to go to a wedding, or a camping trip, or to a party, then DON'T GO! It's just not worth it. It can take weeks before you try again. You'll be miserable the entire time.
You just have to believe in yourself that you can make it through any situation in life. No matter what the huge event might be, it's not going to be more enjoyable if you allow yourself just one or two for the duration of it. Not only will people view you as a smoker again, but you'll have to go all the way back to square one, and go through all the physical pain once again. Is that worth it? Mentally, and physically, it is not worth it. You'll hate your life and feel horrible about it.

Firstly, yes, that does look like Brett Booth is on Nightwing. Respectfully, etc… though of course he is also drawing the covers to Earth 2 and Vibe. but still.
Secondly, expect a lot those creative changes we were talking about to be announced at DC today for April.
Thirdly, I have confirmed that, yes, in April, DC are publishing gatefold covers for their New 52 books. And that all these are the first half of said cover.
Fourthly, yes so that means Nightwing is probably fighting The Creeper on the cover of Nightwing #18.
Fifthly, here a few more of those April covers.
Seventhly, I understand that in a number of cases, the relationship between cover and contents was rather Julie Schwartz/Silver Age in that the covers came first and then the creative teams were asked to step up and write the comic to go with that.
Eighthly, what happened to sixthly?
And ninthly, while no publisher is going to call their month "Holy Shit", even if each gatefold is expected to reveal a surprise, as they have been internally, I get the idea that they may call them "Holy Smoke" covers instead.

Quiznos Sub has launched a new national advertising campaign featuring a trio of singing cats to promote its expanded $5-$4-$3 value menu, the chain said Monday. The Denver-based system of nearly 4,000 restaurants has added two new varieties to its $5 Large Deli Sub line: a three-cheese sub, with cheddar, Swiss and mozzarella, and a turkey and ham sub. Large Deli Subs, with a price point aimed at countering rival Subway's popular $5 Footlongs, are part of a three-tier value play ...

Originally published Sept 24th, 2012 on the Daily Beast

Jeff Wheelwright argues that Sun City, Arizona, "the once and future retirement mecca" with a population of 38,000 and a fertility rate of zero, provides a glimpse of our impending demographic troubles:
[Gerontologist Michael Birt] describes a favorite graphic of his, derived from a 2007 United Nations publication. He calls it "Solving for X" because of the problem it raises for the world's health-care systems. Two lines are crossing, the percentage of people over 65 and the percentage under 5. Back in 1950, children predominated in the world; in 2050 the seniors will be on top. "The percent over 65 and under 5 are trading places," Birt says. "We're almost at the X spot." The forecast date for global X to occur is 2017, but each country will arrive at the transition at a different time. "Japan blasted through its intersection years ago," he notes.
Was there a single factor to account for this world-shaking reversal? "Yes," [Jennifer Glick, a sociologist and demographer at the ASU Center for Population Dynamics] says. "You start educating girls."

It wasn't long ago that the appearance of fresh apples on chain menus caused quite a stir. McDonald's put them in its Fruit & Walnut Premium Salad and sent the domestic apple industry into overdrive. Burger King slyly added Fresh Apple Fries — apples sliced to look like French fries — and fast-casual chains like Panera Bread added Granny Smith and Fuji apples to their entrée salads. Since that time, corporate chefs' use of fruits has evolved at warp ...
