said earlier that certificates could be used to establish identity and hence the right
to run trustworthy software on your machine. I
want to emphasize in the strongest possible terms that this is not all that certificates
are used for. A lot of people are confused
by this, including a lot of very smart, technically savvy developers. Cryptographic
security is complex and poorly understood.
me give you an example. One time I went
to a friend's web site. My friend is
a sharp and highly experienced developer. His
web site happens to use HTTPS, the "secure protocol", and I was very surprised when
I got an error message from IE saying that the certificate associated with the site
could not be trusted because it was self-signed. In
other words, the certificate says "The bearer's name is Sven Svenson. The
bearer's identity has been confirmed by Sven Svenson."
that is not any kind of identity-establishing evidence! To
trust the cert you have to trust the certifying authority, but the certifying authority
is the person whose identity is in question! This
chain of trust is not rooted in an explicitly trusted authority, so it is worthless.
What is stopping, say, Bjorn Bjornson from typing up the same certificate? Nothing!
asked my buddy why he didn't use a Verisign certificate and his answer surprised me: "Nobody's
told me that they won't use the service unless I got a Verisign cert. And if they
did, I'd probably tell them that they shouldn't use my system if they don't trust
me 😉 "
friend was confusing code signing with secure HTTP. HTTPS
does not use certs to establish a trust
relationship between the client and the server by establishing the identity of the
code author! HTTPS uses certs to
establish secure communication over an insecure
network by establishing identity of the web site. Those
sure sound similar but they are in fact completely
different uses of certs. Why? Because
in the first case, it is the code author who
is (potentially) untrusted. In the second
case, it is the insecure network that
is (definitely) untrusted.
I continue let me briefly explain what the goal of HTTPS is, and how it works.
goal of HTTPS is to ensure that when you send information over the internet, two things
happen. First, the information is encrypted
so that if it is intercepted, the eavesdropper cannot read it. Second,
the server that you're talking to really is
the server that you THINK you're talking to.
have these two goals because there are two threats: first, someone
might be listening in on the traffic between the client and the server, so you
need to ensure that they can't make sense of what they overhear. Second, someone
may have set up a "fake" server that fools your client into believing that it
is talking to the "real" server, so you need to ensure that you are talking to the
"real" server.
you go to a secure web site — like your bank, or Amazon or some other web site involving
transmission of credit card numbers over the internet — the first thing the web site
does is send you a certificate containing the name of the web site. The
certificate has been signed by a trusted root — Verisign, for example. Your
browser can then compare the certificate's web site name with the web site you actually
went to, and because it is vouched for by Verisign, you know that you
really are talking to the right server. The
certificate also contains information about how to encrypt messages so that
only the server can decrypt them. That
is then enough information to mitigate both threats and establish a secure channel. (The
details of how that channel is established are not particularly germane; I may discuss
this in a future post.)
say it again: the certificate is NOT there to establish a trust relationship
between the client and the server. The
certificate is there so that you know that
you are talking to the real server, and no one can eavesdrop. This is the internet
we're talking about: for all you know, evil geniuses have cut every line between
you and the entire internet and have inserted their own evil routers and servers that
look just like the real internet. (For
all you know, this is someone else's blog!) It's Verisign's job to ensure that
those evil geniuses never get their hands on an Amazon.com certificate vouched for
by Verisign, because that is the only evidence you have that you are actually talking
to the real internet.
when you go to a web site with a self-signed HTTPS certificate, IE pops up an "abort
or continue?" dialog box. What that box
is trying to communicate is:
buddy, you are trying to communicate securely with FooCorp's web server but because
the certificate does not establish a chain of trust, IE is unable to determine if
the insecure internet between you and FooCorp has been taken over by evil genius hackers
who are presently spoofing you into believing that you are on the real internet. Do
you want to go ahead and possibly be spoofed, or stop right now?"
the dialog box is not particularly clear on this point, and besides, everyone clicks
"OK" without reading dialog boxes. But
that's another story.
sum up: whether you trust FooCorp or not is not the issue — if you're going to send
them your credit card number, presumably you already trust them! What
you don't trust is the wiring between
you and them. There might be hackers
at their ISP, or your ISP, or at any node on the network. There
might be people listening with packet sniffers and packet replacers. There might be
people listening to your wireless network traffic. HTTPS
is designed to protect users against untrustworthy, insecure or hostile network
providers by ensuring identity and encrypting traffic.

Did the removal of too much fat cause the crepiness and crease in my eye?
hi! 5 weeks post op. my crease in one eye is deeper set and a bit of crepey skin in a small area of the crease. was too much skin/ fat emoved? my ps says that he removed very little from this eye and will even out within 3 months.
Doctor Answers 2
Several Months Required for final eyelid result
It is true that it would be very hard to tell your final result just 5 weeks following eyelid surgery and that 3-6 months or more is required to see your final result
Web reference: https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/eyelid-lift/
Uhappy with eyelid operation
- excess skin after a blepharoplasty is common.
- It may go away or need a tiny touch up - between 3 - 6 months from surgery.
- To assess the deeper crease, look at the before and after photos with your surgeon.
- Often, we notice differences after surgery that have always been there.
- If not, there are procedures that can be done to improve this.

Binoculars are often referred to by two numbers separated by an "x". For example, 8x32. The first number is the power of magnification of the binocular. With an 8x32 binocular, the object being viewed appears to be eight times closer than you would see it with the unaided eye. The amount of magnification depends upon the application the binoculars are designed for. Hand-held binoculars have lower magnifications so they will be less susceptible to shaking. A larger magnification leads to a smaller field of view.
If you are looking for a good all around binocular a magnification of 8 to 10 is probably ideal, and most of the binocular manufacturers offer a wide range of options in the 8x42, 10x42, 8x50, 10x50 ranges. Long range and high magnification binoculars, such as the ones used for star gazing – have magnifications in the range of 40-100 and require a heavy duty tripod due to their size and weight.

It might not be the New Zealand Open but a revived golf tournament could get The Hills back in the spotlight next year.
The New Zealand PGA is investigating hosting the PGA Championship at the exclusive Arrowtown course in March.
It is assessing the feasibility of a full four-round tournament, which would include a pro-am event.
The Hills hosted three successful New Zealand Opens in 2007, 2009 and last year before losing the hosting rights to Clearwater, on the outskirts of Christchurch.
Clearwater was the previous base of the New Zealand PGA Championship, but the tournament slipped into relative obscurity last year when it lost its naming sponsor and major sanctioning partner.
The proposed event at Arrowtown would feature amateurs pre-qualifying to play with the 64 leading professionals over the last two rounds of the four-round championship.
In the New Zealand PGA newsletter, chief executive Duncan Simpson enthused about the plans.
"The pro-am format is unique in this part of the world, and we believe it will have considerable appeal," Simpson said.
He hoped the event could "lead to a sustainable funding formula for the tournament, which we see as ultimately building to OneAsia status or the equivalent".
Simpson hoped the feasibility study, led by former New Zealand Football boss Michael Glading, would reveal by the middle of next month if the championship was possible.
"If not we are confident we will get the tournament up in 2013, our centenary year."
The Hills director of golf Craig Palmer said it was a matter of finding enough sponsorship.
"Hopefully by the middle of next month we should be getting close to knowing if we can push against it and make it happen next year, or maybe we need a little extra time for the following year."
Palmer said The Hills was confident the format would have appeal.
There was commitment from the PGA and The Hills to build the event over a number of years, he said.
"I think it will have a huge impact [on Wakatipu businesses].
"I think it is quite a good time of the year to be having the tournament and the New Zealand Open brought a huge number of people to the area and helped out a lot of the local businesses, so I don't see why this tournament will be different.
"We have plans to hopefully grow it to the stage where it's possibly on one of the major Asian tours before too long."

Water can't come soon enough
Water can't come soon enough
FABENS, Texas - Water released from New Mexico is expected to make its way to El Paso within the week.
While the water is drastically needed by farmers in the Borderland, it won't fill the need. Farmers like Ramon Tirres tell ABC-7 that they've been waiting for more water for months.
"It's a great relief," said TIrres in response to Saturday's water release, but he pointed out that it doesn't mean all is well. "When it gets hot it gets hot and you better have some water ready, but it's not going to happen that way."
TIrres waited nearly eight months to get two wells built for his property. By the time the well digger came, his irrigation was set for the season. That doesn't mean he turned him away. With a full-fledged drought under way, he's eyeing more bad years. Tirres said he jumped at the chance to get the wells dug this week.
As for William McGowan, the man digging the wells, he has his own story. He's not from El Paso. In fact, he lives more than 500 miles away. He was called to the area for a job more than two years ago, but there is so much work here he never left.
"It looks like we'll be here for quite a while, we have a lot of work to do," explained McGowan.
McGowan has dug more than 200 test wells. He's finished dozens of wells, but the work never seems to dry up as the Borderland stays dry.
"I actually turned down a lot of small stuff, probably more than 60 jobs," explained McGowan.
As drought devastates Texas, McGowan and others are seeing unprecedented work. However, not everyone is rushing to Texas. With oil fields booming to the North, many don't jump into water well digging. It means fewer people are doing jobs that hundreds of people are asking for.
While the drought is hurting, and creating opportunities, it seems the opportunities are falling by the wayside. For farmers like Ramon Tirres the wells are better late than never, but it means waiting to get full use out of them until next year.

Tender, juicy and full of flavour, the UK grows asparagus that is some of the best in the world.
There is perhaps no greater ringing endorsement of spring than the bunches of asparagus that start popping up in farm shops around the country in late April. Even the supermarkets get in on the act, and the miserable little South American tips are replaced by fat bundles of green spears emblazoned with the Union Jack. But there is good reason to put in more than the usual effort when seeking out this British champion. Asparagus contains natural sugars that start to deplete as soon as it is harvested; it is this troublesome characteristic that have led many to take the kitchen to the field, allowing them to cook it immediately over a portable stove. Such effort is probably beyond most of us (unless you are growing your own), but with a little local research you can get close to this ideal.
I'm lucky enough to live in Cornwall, where the asparagus season (and indeed most growing seasons) kicks off earlier than the rest of the UK, often as early as mid April. A few years ago, I chanced upon a fabulous local grower with the enigmatic name of Jax Buse. Jax started St Enodoc asparagus (named after the 16th century church nestled amongst the nearby sand dunes) over 20 years ago, and grows fabulous tasting non-commercial varieties that have to be seen (and tasted) to be believed. Great big, thick spears that are tender and sweet all the way down to the base, the flavour is enhanced by the natural salt that is blown from the sea across the fields and the warm micro climate the farm enjoys. Asparagus is like a toddler – it's at it's happiest by the seaside, and actually grows wild on many Cornish cliffs (asparagus, not toddlers).
The high quality and flavour of St Enodoc asparagus has seen chefs across the country clambering to get hold of it; if you'd been lucky enough to enjoy a plate of asparagus at The Ivy a few years ago (under Mark Hix) it could have been grown by Jax. Local Cornwall chefs Nathan Outlaw in Rock and Andy Appleton (Fifteen Cornwall) have also championed Jax's produce. More and more St Enodoc is being namechecked on the menu, and is fast becoming another recognised quality Cornish food brand.
Finding your own local grower is relatively straightforward – the website of the British Asparagus Growers' Association has a tool here to find the nearest in your county (including options for 'pick your own' to guarantee real freshness), or alternatively just keep an eye out for the signs advertising local growers as you drive through the countryside. It goes without saying, eat it as soon as you can – if you do have to store asparagus, put it upright in a little water in the refrigerator.
I'd go with Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's suggestion that asparagus should be served as simply as possible when it first becomes available. Steam it in small bundles for around 3-6 minutes (the fresher it is, the less time it needs) then serve with crunchy Maldon sea salt and butter. As the seasons progresses and you feel the need for a change, try thin ribbon-like shavings of raw asparagus with a little grated lemon zest, thinly sliced yellow Scotch Bonnet chillies (or Aji Limon chillies if you prefer a milder heat), sea salt and British cold pressed rapeseed oil:

Mendocino Victorian Estate
East Rd, Redwood Valley, CA 95470
This is a recently built Victorian mansion on a 1,700 acre ranch in Mendocino County, California. Mendocino County is in the northern part of the state. The county is noted for its distinctive Pacific Ocean coastline, Redwood forests, wine production, microbrews, and liberal views about the use of cannabis and support for its legalization. It is estimated that roughly one-third of the economy is based on the cultivation of marijuana. You will have plenty of room to explore additional income opportunities other than ranching I'm sure with this beautiful piece of property.
From the listing: "The East Ranch features a reproduction Victorian home set on approximately 1734 acres with views overlooking Redwood Valley and frontage on the Russian River. The property is currently classified as a conservation ranch with an existing cattle operation, and is covered under the Williamson Act.
The property features 7 metered and permitted springs, 5 ponds and two stock tanks which generate and store enough water to provide irrigation and domestic water, even in drought years. An extensive water storage and management system captures the flow out of the springs and directs it into a series of storage tanks that can hold or release water as needed. There are separate systems for domestic water and irrigation, and the system is gravity powered. There are two agricultural hookups for the Redwood Valley water district as well.
The house is sited approximately 1/2 mile off of East Road with a gated entrance. Next to the house is a pond that is used for swimming and irrigation. Another pond, the 18 acre foot Wildlife Pond, is approximately 1/4 mile from the house and is a wildlife sanctuary.
- Square foot: 7,200
- Year built: 1997
- Lot size: 1,700 acres
- Address: East Rd, Redwood Valley, Mendocino California 95470

Dia de los Muertos Artist Demonstration: Ofrenda Altars – Call for Proposals, Detroit Institute of Arts
Submission deadlines for all proposals are by end of day Friday, October 4
The Detroit Institute of Arts extends an open call for proposals that celebrate the Mexican tradition of Ofrenda altars. This Artist Demonstration will commence with the installation of selected Ofrendas from October 22-24, 2013, which will then be on display for the public from October 25-November 3. While on view the installation will be accompanied by a participatory element encouraging museum guests to write a personal note of remembrance honoring figures in their community or personal history as a way of adding to a community altar. On Sunday, November 3 from 2-3pm, all Ofrenda artists will participate in an artist talk in order to provide insight into the inspiration behind the display.
Ofrenda altars were originally developed as part of the traditions surrounding the Day of the Dead, an annual celebration where family and friends gather to honor those who have passed. Ofrenda altars were created as part of the celebration as a way for people to pay respects to and remember deceased ancestors and typically included favorite foods, mementos, pictures, sugar skulls and flowers among the altar's decorative elements – however, in contemporary iterations, Ofrendas have also been created as a way to pay homage to not only people but places, moments in time, ideas and events that people feel are worth commemorating. What are the people, places and things that you want remembered? If you were to design an Ofrenda altar, what would it include?
The DIA invites proposals to create contemporary Ofrenda altars in the museum's Rivera Galleries. Please include the following information in your proposal:
-Name & Contact Information
-Dimensions of the work (height, width, depth)
-Materials which will be included in the work (paper, plastic, etc.)*
(*Please be advised that due to the sensitive nature of the nearby Rivera murals, artists are requested to only include sealed containers of any food/drink, flowers, or organic materials in their works.)
-Technical needs (extension cords, electrical plugs, etc. Please make sure any electrical devices are UL rated.)
-Short Description of the piece with estimated budget (1-3 sentences.)
-A visual image (sketch of the proposed piece or visual inspiration for your proposal.)
Submission deadlines for all proposals are by end of day Friday, October 4. Proposals will be reviewed and artists will be contacted by Wednesday, October 9. All participating artists will receive a small stipend as well as a budget for materials. Please email all proposals and any questions to Carrie Morris, Program Coordinator, at email@example.com.

SGK, formerly marketed as Schawk, Inc., a leading global brand development, activation and deployment company, has appointed Scott Lucas to the new position of managing director, brand development to oversee its Brandimage and Anthem operations in Cincinnati.
According to the company, its brand development group drives brand performance by creating desirability through two brands: Brandimage and Anthem. Brandimage creates brands through the development of brand equity design and brings them 'to the shelf' to seduce shoppers at the point of decision. Anthem sells brands from the 'shelf out' by amplifying and elevating brand desirability.
"I am excited to lead the brand development teams in Cincinnati and to leverage our business-driven design model to drive brand performance for our global and regional clients," said Lucas. "As brand performance is a function of desirability and profitability, it is gratifying to be a part of an organization that recognizes the relationship between brands, branding, and business."
"It's great to see that we've got the right leader in such an important role and in such an important market for SGK," said Eric Ashworth, president. "His arrival brings a lot to not only the Cincinnati team but also the company as a whole. I am confident that Scott and team will elevate the 'desirability' of packaging all the way up to the shelf and 'amplify' its unique design language all the way down the aisle and out the door to help drive brands that perform."
Prior to joining SGK, Lucas spent 10 years with Interbrand. He served as executive director, new business at Interbrand Cincinnati where he established and led a Cincinnati-based team responsible for new business development, marketing and public relations for the North American consumer packaged goods (CPG) practice. Before his move to Cincinnati, he served as managing director, consumer branding, at Interbrand New York.
Previous roles earlier in his career included business-building executive experience in New York at branding and design consultancies, including his own firm.
Lucas earned a bachelor of arts in communication from Villanova University.

I was having a very grumpy day. Looking back, I remember that the one thing that can almost always cheer me up--my cat Oscar--didn't seem to do the job before I left for work. Even a day of going through photograph folders, which is a calming, productive, and fun activity, couldn't erase my glum mood. The Brooklyn Collection has been conducting a photo inventory for the past few weeks. We've found lots of photographs, some that we look at in puzzlement -- ("Why would someone take four photos of someone pointing?") --many of checks and awards being received, taken from different angles, and the rare photograph of something so fantastic that we have to write a post about it.
One folder full of discoveries was labeled Clubs: Social IX.
The folder that my colleague and fellow blogger Leslie brought over to my desk seemed nondescript. We've seen lots of interesting and strange photographs and sometimes share them with others working on the inventory. Leslie knows of my love for cats and shared the photographs of the Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Club's annnual show. They brightened my mood considerably.
The Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Club was co-founded in 1941 by Mrs. Silas M. Andrews (quoted in an article in 1948 as being "crazy about cats") and Mrs. Edward D. Mudge.
The club's first meeting was held at the Hotel St. George and those encouraged to attend were editors of pet magazines and "other authorities on felines". The club hosted cat shows to raise money to establish a shelter in Brooklyn for homeless cats. This shelter would also provide medical attention for stray animals and for animals whose humans could not afford medical treatment.
The Brooklyn Collection has an envelope full of articles about the club that spans almost a decade, during the 1940s. In those years, the club purchased war bonds, and wrote a fascinating article about the benefits of having a cat in your home:
A Cat in Your Home? Plea made for Tabby
Women whose men have gone to war and who have taken a war job for the duration need not come home to a lonely apartment or house these days, according to Mae Wagner Carlysle of the Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Club, whose headquarters are in the Hotel St. George. The well-known cat's meow might well be the feline version of the hit, "I'm so nice to come home to," it is claimed. Cats are easily trained, can be left alone for many hours, are scrupulously clean and are most affectionate, said Miss Carlysle. Mrs. Elsie Collins, manager of the Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Show, which will be held in the St. George on Oct. 19 and 20, said that it does not matter whether a cat is a Persian, Siamese or just one of the "alleys," women will get a lot of comfort and companionship from such a pet. Proceeds of the coming show will go towards building an animal shelter and clinic in Brooklyn. (Brooklyn Eagle, October 6, 1943)
I like this article for so many reasons -- but mainly, I know what it is like to come home to a fantastic little cat! The Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Club's shows were not just about showing purebred cats. There were awards for the most heroic cat, the funniest cat, the oldest and ugliest cats (I've never seen an ugly cat, so handing out that prize must have been a challenge). The photo below shows the prize-winner Prince. His category? He won the prize for "cat of distinction" because "he keeps mice away from the door at the Norwegian Seaman's Home, 62 Hanson Place". Prince is photographed with his owner, Sugar Miller.
The Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Club also hosted lectures on various topics. These lectures ranged from the proper care of cats to leaving legacies for cats. In 1949, the club hosted Milton Fisher, Instructor in Business Law at Long Island University. He spoke to club members about the "intricate problems involved in leaving a legacy to a feline". The rather cheeky journalist notes that "500 bored pets listen calmly as he cites difficulty of buying them annuities". The audience was encouraged to ask questions. One member asked how many scratches a cat was entitled to, since she heard a dog was entitled to one bite. According Mr. Fisher, back in 1949 the owner was not liable for damage done by a cat unless he or she knew beforehand that the cat was vicious.
It is not clear from these clippings whether the cat shelter was ever built or when the club disbanded, but I think it would have been fun to belong to it. My cat Oscar, who waits for me at the door when I come home after work every day, is my purring alarm clock in the morning, and lets me take pictures of him wearing a homemade witches hat, would be my credential for membership. That said, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have entered him in the Brooklyn-Long Island Cat Club cat show and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have wanted me to either.

Thank you for the post. I love the picture of the cats in the house.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Starting at the end of October, Canada will have its own basketball league, the National Basketball League of Canada. As surprising as it may be, the country has never had a national basketball league. The league currently has seven teams, located in large cities like Halifax and Quebec City, mid-sized cities like Oshawa and London, and smaller cities like Moncton (population: 97,000) Saint John (90,00), and Summerside (14,500). This is a very modest beginning, but this league could eventually rise to become a viable alternative to the NBA. What chance does this league have to thrive and what impact will it have on the NBA?
Fledgling professional leagues need to start very small if they want to eventually thrive, so the NBL seems to be starting off correctly. They can build slowly, because Canada has shown the ability to support a variety of professional sports. The NHL and the CFL are of course the most notable examples. There are a number of large cities that can support basketball, and they all have large hockey arenas. Those arenas need to be filled on off nights, and if the NBL plays its financial cards right, it could find a home in every city with an NHL team. The crown jewel of this effort would be Vancouver, which lost the Grizzlies for reasons other than an inability to support the team. If Vancouver can handle the NBA, it would be a huge addition to the NBL.
There is, of course, one major roadblock to this expansion plan. Toronto, Canada's largest city, already has a basketball team. Why would Torontonians support an NBL team when they can support the Raptors? It is unlikely that an NBL team could successfully exist in the Raptors' shadow, so the only way for the league to break into Toronto is to eliminate the competition. To do that, they will need to take a page from college athletics and snatch the Raptors from the NBA. David Stern has mentioned contraction as a reasonable possibility, and by virtue of being one of the league's 22 unprofitable teams, the Raptors are not immune from such talk. However, they have more pressing reasons than random chance to worry about contraction.
The Raptors are the only NBA team in Canada, and that isolates them from the rest of the league. For better or worse, they are beholden to exchange rate fluctuations and different tax laws from the rest of the league. These complications could be avoided if they were simply removed from the equation. Moreover, they would mean more to the NBL than they ever could to the NBA. Instead of being an afterthought, they would be the league's signature franchise. The NBL should pursue this aggressively, because they could improve their league's franchise and the NBA could get rid of dead weight. In fact, the NBL should aim to purchase the Raptors from the NBA. It is not a viable option now, but if the NBA's financial woes continue, this could solve some problems.
Setting the potential for franchise-nabbing aside, the NBL does have a chance to make a legitimate impact on the NBA. Since the NBL is in its infancy, it loses its biggest chance to make an impact now. With players looking to play elsewhere, what better option is there than Canada? There are no glaring cultural differences between the US and Canada and players are already used to Toronto, so it would not be a big transition. Despite the cold, it's much more welcoming than Turkey or China. Unfortunately, the league doesn't have the resources now to lure anyone worthwhile. However, if they play their cards right they might be a viable option for the next lockout. That's a terribly cynical strategy, but it is the best they can hope for.
The NBL will never be bigger than the NBA. Barring something catastrophic, the NBA will always attract the best talent, and there will always be more money in the US for professional basketball players than there will be anywhere else. It would be folly for the NBL to take aim at the NBA. If they do, David Stern will destroy them. What they need to do is aim to be a competitive minor league that is at least on par with the NBDL. It might take a while and might need some shady maneuvering, but that is very possible.

The Raptors are one of the 8 teams making money. Check your facts. 10th in straight up revenue. 6th in profit. Imagine if it were a team that was actually good enough to make it out of the first round? You'd have to jump them into the the top 5.
It's still not a 'basketball market' when it comes to free agency… but if they folded 20 teams, the Raptors wouldn't be one of them.
Check your facts, the Raptors will not be contracted.
Who ever wrote this article is an idiot.
To John, the author is not an idiot. He's worse than that. Whoever hired this moron should be fired immediately !!!
this is like bleacher report bad of an article
Just turrible, lunacy, fantasy & idiocy all in one. Maybe the worst article I've ever read.
How the Hell is Canada any colder than the United States???
Raptors aren't going anywhere. NBL is only going to make money if they have TV exposure and an agreement with another league, otherwise its adios like all the other attempts of creating a Canadian basketball. Anybody remember the Hamilton Skyhawks?
This is just poorly written article with little to no research. The Raptors are one of the teams actually making profit despite the lack of success on the court.
Also, if the NBL wants to purchase the Raptors, then there going to need to have somewhere around 1.8-2.1 billion dollars to purchase them along with the Leafs (and a bunch of other places), as the Raptors won't be sold as a seperate entity but rather packaged in a deal (which MLSE is looking to do).
The raptors are dead weight?, what do you call the wolves the cavs the bobcats the pacers the pistons etc..
Wow. Am I reading an offshoot of the Onion here? I'm not sure if this is a satirical piece or not, but the writer is so far off it's funny. That's supposed to be, right? I'm so confused, but not as much as the writer is (or isn't?)
Lmao this guy is an idiot.
The author is an idiot. The Raptors aren't going anywhere.
The author of this article is an idiot. Did he even bother to check ANY facts. Terrible piece. Toronto is one of the most profitable teams in the league, how the hell are they dead weight?
LilOzzy sucks!
Yeah, a team worth 400Mil (10th in the NBA), one of only ten teams to gross 1Mil+ per game at the gate last season, one of the richest owners in the league and a team that averaged nearly 17,000 per game last season despite being the 3rd worst in the league……..has a snowball's chance at getting contracted. You're a complete tool who absolutely knows nothing about the subject. Sit down and STFU!!
There are 10-15 teams in front of them that are far better candidates to be moved and most of them aren't going nowhere.
What you've just written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent article were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this site is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Who let this moron write an article?
Despite the Cold??? Good lord, has this guy been to Minnesota, Chicago, Indianna, Cleveland, Detroit etc…?? Seriously, this whole BS of Toronto being so cold….it's not even the coldest city in the NBA. Oh and the whole tax argument is a complete farse, a good accountant, the difference isn'y even noticeable. It's amazing how uninformed Americans are and how ignorant they can be when it comes to being fair and balanced about anything outside their border. Ignorance is bliss!
Where's the retraction?
Your career is over before it even started.
This is a joke right?
Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
I am an American and this is a fucking joke. Is this guy that ignorant? holy shit.
Either this author is saying incorrect crap for views from the massive Raptors internet torch mob (always works), or he's simply a terrible writer. Please check basic facts before you write an article, especially if said article intends to criticize something.
I think the article did it job…get a lot of traffic (Raptors nation)..stirr the pot up…good job bro!
The NBA and the NBL as it stands now are 2 very different things. The NBA is a $ billion enterprise showcasing the best b-ball players in the world. The NBL is a small league that will give a few guys on their way down a chance to play and make a few $, and give a few young guys the chance to showcase their skills and maybe hook up with bigger $ on a team in Europe, the middle east or Asia. The teams will play before maybe 2500 folks a night and if last year with the Millrats was any indication, be a great, affordable, fun night out.
The whole league will run on the money paid to a 7th or 8th man in the NBA so suggesting the NBL buy the Raptors is laughable.
As many have mentioned this article is full of incorrect assertions and it is safe to say that more research could of been done. Dan, you should really do your research before publishing your name to an article. It could come back to bite you in the future. All it takes is one silly article for people to not take what you write seriously.
I like the use of the word 'folly'. It would be folly for this website to let you write another article for them.
The idea behind the NBL is to expand interest in basketball around the country, because other than hotbeds in southern Ontario and BC and Halifax, interest is pretty low.
However, without the Raptors in the NBA there would be a steep decline in the already small amount of interest that exists outside of basketball-playing markets. It would counteract all the hard work Canada Basketball has done to promote the game on a grassroots level.
Without the Raptors in the NBA, there will be no NBL…simple as that.
bwahahahahahahahahahaha!! what?!?!?
are you retarded son? first off do some god damn fact checking you moron, raptors are one of the most successful nba franchises in its short history. source:
2nd of all, why would we give up our own team because of the fact that were separated from the US, do you know on a god damn map where toronto is? in relation to new york, cleveland, boston, chicago, minnesota?
so what is it? you hate canadians? did we do something to you? do you not like the fact that we have a team and a lesser city should receive one? huh? what is it? come on dude, be real your a god damn joke!
looove the rebuttal. Yes your math is correct if 22 teams are losing money and if the Raps are the 10th most valuable team then they are losing money.
Are you also suggesting then that we should cut the rest of the teams outside of the top 10 then as well? Detroit is close enough to Toronto, they can watch the NBL. Hey isn't the American credit rating bad? I guess you guys are bleeding money too, let's cut the whole country while we're at it.
PS. Alberta is warmer then Alaska.
Hey Danny,
Here is an ESPN article regarding Toronto being top 5 in NBA revenue.
Just saying…
This is such a silly article.
Ontario (Toronto)has a new ABA francise
the Revolution, which starts play in the fall which is is more of a threat.
This writer did no research 0.Why would
Canadians accept any team that did not give them American acceptance
The NBL teams have only 2 Canadians
per team.What national league in any country operates like that rather reversed
only two imports.The only advantage for Canadians is seeing their young players developing not some unheard of Americans
This whole league is joke.If you are going to war make sure of your battle plan here there is none.The legitimate team they have is Halifax
Go Revolution
How does a team so terrible, with a career .409 winning percentage, still make so much money?

Owner of the controversial, soon-to-be opened Cherry Hill Gourmet Restaurant and Market, David Isaeva, will open its doors to the community in March — for a meeting.
The Sheepshead Bay/Plumb Beach Civic Association has announced that its March meeting will be held at the landmark Lundy's building. Just this past Monday, there were sounds of construction going on behind the closed, but unlocked doors. There were dim work lamps lit, so let's hope that by March 3, things will be all set for a productive and packed meeting.
Here is the information from the latest press release:
The Sheepshead Bay / Plumb Beach Civic Association is pleased to announce that it will hold its next General Meeting on March 3rd, 2009 at 7:30 PM at 3156 Ocean Avenue, the landmark site of Lundy's Restaurant that is the proposed site of Cherry Hill Gourmet Restaurant and Market.
Members of the SB/PBCA Board of Directors met with representatives of Cherry Hill Gourmet Restaurant and Market after the Community Board 15 General Meeting on January 27th. Cherry Hill Gourmet Restaurant and Market has agreed to open its doors to all interested neighbors and community members who wish to attend the meeting, and give them a "sneak preview' of the renovated and refurbished interior of the building. They have also promised the Civic Association that they will address any and all questions and concerns about the work done on the landmark site.
"This is a great opportunity for our community to finally separate truth from fiction," said Corresponding Secretary Barbara Berardelli. "There's been a lot of arguing between Cherry Hill and preservationists. Our Association wants to get to the truth about the situation surrounding Lundy's so we all can move forward, and make an informed opinion about what is happening in our neighborhood.
"We invite everyone, including all of our elected officials, to come with their questions, comments and concerns about what has been done and what will be done to Lundy's, so we can finally get to the bottom of it all."
The SB/PBCA will also be placing further information on its website, http://www.sbpbcivic.org, as more news becomes available.

Representative Leon Stavrinakis Reacts to Haley Veto of DHEC Port Permit Reversal
"Governor Haley is out of touch with South Carolina businesses, out of touch with South Carolina workers, and apparently dead set on ruining our natural resources to make sure her plan to grow jobs in the State of Georgia moves forward." said Rep. Stavrinakis. "Of course, I will vote to override this veto. Beyond that, I will fight this Governor and her political cronies tooth and nail to make sure their dream of a Savannah Port which trumps the Port of Charleston never becomes a reality." added Stavrinakis.
H.4627 was co-sponsored by State Representatives Leon Stavrinakis (Charleston), Jim Merrill (Charleston) and Jim Harrison (Columbia), and proposes to shut down the illegal DHEC permit in question and restore usurped authority to the Maritime Commission as well as the SC General Assembly.
Representative Leon Stavrinakis represents District 119 in Charleston County. The district includes portions of the City of Charleston, West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island and all of Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island.

He has & he always will !!! working4jesus You need to do the same... God Bless...

Coal Miner.... Proverbs 18:21 says there is power in life & death of the tongue. You shall eat the fruit that you speak thereof. Instead of letting Your family live in lack start speak this scripture over their lives. Obama isn't the Author & Finisher of our Faith. God, Our Heavenly Father is! He said what ever we ask in Jesus name it will be given by the Father. Who is your Heavenly Father? Who is your Daddy, not your Earthly Dad, but your Heavenly Dad? He doesn't want any of his children living in lack, I have a Nephew who was laid off just before this Election! 7,000.00 men lost their jobs in Tenn, Ky & Va.... The House over ruled the Presidents decision to stop Coal ! We have Representatives that are Republicans who will have to decide to agree with Obama... Not if God has anything to do with it.... It's Gods Choice, not Obmamas.... My Nephew is back to work, Thank you Jesus !!!!
People we need to hit our kneess instead of getting on Topix & saying what we think will come to pass! We have a Heavenly Father, an Advocate , Jesus.... All we need to do is call upon him...

No it won't, not without God in our Lives. Our Nations has left God out of every thing in our Lives! Including you.... Not Me, I will Call upon the Hope above all hope! God, My Father in Heaven...
God said what ever I ask in Jesus's Name, it will be given by my Heavenly Father! This Nation will be Judged, so will you.... So will I... This is no situation that any school Girl could Handle... So Why would you say something as STUPID as that... Your Intelligence must be of a lower Quaility or something.....

For your Info.... God has his Hands on these Miners Jobs... The House over turned the Presidents decisions & we had 7,000.00 men go back to work in the Mines... Who were laid off because of Obama. God is bigger than any thing that this President can sign or put in place.... Proverbs 18:21 says there is Power of Life & Death in the Tongue. If you speak it. you shall eat the Friut thereof! Our Miners will not be without work, their Mines will be not Shut down.
My Nephew was without work for almost 3 months.....The House over turned Obamas Decisions & put our Miners Back to work... We can call Hall Rodgers & Jim Stewart ( St Rep) Call everyone you can....Faith isn't knowing that God can, It's knowing that GOD WILL !!!! Gods People don't stand back & let Satan have the Upper Hand....People we need to Pray for our Coal Miners..... God watch over them each & everyone! Lord there are Families who Depend on these Coal Companies! God we ask that you shelter each man & his Family with your Loving Graceful Hand & Protect them from any Devour that Satan has set out against them, The Lord Rebuke you Satan....Not Us, But the Lord, Rebuke you from these Jobs & these Families.... Amen... So Be it !!!!

Proverbs 18:21 says that there is Power of Life & Death of the Tongue. What you Speak, you shall eat the fruit thereof. Don't let this Election of a Man named Obama take your Faith away from a God that People says he might hear our Prayers, But that God Will hear our Prayers. Faith isn't believeing that GOD can, but it's believeing that God Will Hear our prayers! Don't let Man oor Satan, steal or Devour our Prayers over all of our Coal Miners & their Jobs.
My Nephew was laid off for 3 months, along with 7,000.00 other men in Tenn, Ky & Va. The House Overturned Obamas Decision & put our miners back to work. We just had the worst Drought in History, while Obama decided to make Ethonol out of Sugar Cane.... We are now feeding our Live stock their winter reserve of Food... God is in control & we need to trust in GOD.... Believe that not only He Can, But that He will Answer our Prayers.....People come on, Pray....Pray Harder than you ever have in your Life that Obama doesn't Bring Our Nation To Ruins... After watching 2016, Obama, the Fake, the Lies & who our President really is ! My Heart is Sick, knowing that we have not prayed hard enough to stop this AntiChrist In the US...... This Man & His Fathers Dreams is to bring America to a state of Poverty, Like Obama grew up in.( Because of his mothers Choice ) Obama wants us as Desolate as he felt he was growing up. His Plans & Intentions are very Cruel for our Country... Pray...Pray...Pray... That God outs this man out of our Country.... A Word, ON TIME

Nor do I have Medical Ins.
You think you know every one on here, you don't! I work, 10-12 Hours aday! Would work 2 jobs but jobs are few & so many people need to work also. So I pray that they will also be blessed for their effort of working, even if it's minimum wage. Do you work for min wage? Do you feed your Family or pay all of your bills on that kind of payck? I doubt it with your POMPOUS Attitude!!! Many Of us have less than we had less than last yr!

Hey, I'm a GOD fearing man with alot to fear. You speak as if you are of higher power or intelligence than me. You mention GOD every few lines. Maybe instead of asking GOD for all the help, you could get off your ass and do a little. GOD does not help those who don't help themselves. Also don't forget he made us all equal. Therefore you are no better than me, nor am I any better than you. Anyone can get on here and spout their mouth off. Including me,but I don't see the need in making every post a religious debate. There's other forums for that if you want to post on there. So as I said before, call upon those you elected that do nothing for you now. Their values, beliefs and lies are what you elected them for. Call on them for help as they called on you for your vote.

I am glad you still have a job as most don't these days. I can tell that you are upset. I don't know if its at me or your situation. I'm sorry to inform you that I do not know it all and I too live on similar terms as you do. I am not the soul provider for my family tho. My wife has a job and the bills are basically split. I find it easier if you have help with the bills. If you tackle this issue alone it will only bring hardship upon you. I just find it better when both parties contribute to bill issue. I do not know your age or if you have a spouse that would help. I am sorry you feel this way about me.

God has the power to create the earth and he put everything in it we needed to live and have a life here if we abide in him and he abides in us he said ask what you shall and he said he would never leave or forsake his children he not a man that he has to lie and we are not equal in nothing not in weight eye color hair color god made us all different.

He gave us common sense too. Common sense tells me if my ass is hurting or struggling I need to do what I can to help myself. If it were to be jobless, I'd get out and find myself some work. If I were hungry, I'd find me some food. You shouldn't sit around and wait for GOD to do all the work. You should put some effort in as well.

"while we think of our lives in grand abstractions, a life is actually lived in hours," Laura Vanderkam, from 168 Hours
Our jobs, our health, our relationships, our creative pursuits; they take time. Must we choose between our health and our jobs? Our careers and our families? Author/journalist Laura Vanderkam says no. In her newest book, 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think, she assures us that living a full, satisfying life need not be a 24/7 struggle. Her many interviews with successful, happy people and suggestions for making the most of our down time (hint: don't fill it with hours of television or computer) show us how to focus, organize our time, and find that precious balance that seems to elude so many. It's not easy having it all. It's easier to make excuses. For those of us trying to squish in as much as we can, this book is a quick, fun read. Make the time.
"Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks." Author unknown, The 24-Hour Customer
We all do it – spend minutes, if not hours updating our Facebook status, emailing, shopping, and telling others that we just don't have enough time in the day to get everything done. Imagine the dilemma of the business owner trying to grab the attention of the ever-distracted, technology-devouring audience we've become. In The 24-Hour Customer, Adrian C. Ott gives business owners an approach to capturing consumers' attention by finding out how they spend their time and why. Motivation, habit, convenience and value – if you want to attract customers, either find something they want, or find something that they'll buy because it fits into their time. Ott ends each chapter with a "two-minute takeaway," which is great for skimming and/or identifying that perfect jumping in spot.

14 Movies That Are Better To Watch At Home
Some movies are meant to be seen from the comfort of a cozy couch (with a remote in one hand and a bowl of Pop Secret in the other). Speaking of, don't forget to visit Pop Secret Labs for more ways to make watching movies even better.
1. The Artist
If the actors aren't going to talk, then you should be able to.
2. Up
At home, the only one bothered by your guttural sobbing is your cat.
3. Snatch
Subtitles were invented specifically for Brad Pitt's character in this movie.
4. Magic Mike
Pause. Play. Rewind. Play. Pause. Play. Rewind. Play. Play. Play. Play. Play. Play. Play. Play. Pauuuuuuse.
5. Crazy, Stupid, Love.
6. Dirty Dancing
Apparently moving theater seats to learn the dance moves is a fire hazard?
7. Teeth
A movie best seen from a place where WebMD can respond with, "Lady parts can't do that. This is wackadoodle."
8. Elf
This is how you start celebrating Christmas in July. Or mid-February. Or whenever your merry self feels like it.
9. Lord of the Rings
If you don't care about hobbits, just hit "mute" for a scenic tour of mystical New Zealand.
10. Mulholland Drive
Pause and let Wikipedia be your spirit guide throughout.
11. Love Actually
Not that one should regret spending a small fortune on theater tickets for the same movie… but there are other options.
12. She's The Man
Stop over and over again to repeat, "Amanda Bynes had so much potential!"
13. Melancholia
Surround yourself with puppies, stuffed animals, and rainbows to make it through this apocalypse flick.
14. Pitch Perfect
At home, it's like a sing-a-long! At the theaters, it's more like "offensively off-key and disturbing the other patrons."
Don't forget to head over to Pop Secret Labs, where new ways to enjoy movies are popping up all the time. You can even find the best places to watch movies online, like the ones above, with the Google Chrome tool Pop Search.

Alright...yet another question about my "new" car..1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 5.7cyl 350 rocket. There is a slight ticking in the engine while it runs....My father said it is a crack in the exaust manifold but I don't know if he is right. My mom thinks it's a "lifter" and is afraid of me driving it so if anyone can clear this up for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Hmm.. Start the engine up and run your hand about and inch from the manifolds... See if you can find anywhere that you can feel the tinyist puffs of air coming out.. My camaro had a ticking that took me a few days to track down.. Ended up being at the bottom of the exaust manifold just before it clamps to exauhst pipe (dam speed bumps)... If you can't find it puffing air anywhere then take a valve cover off and start the engine and see if its a rocker clapping. If it is then simply tighten it till its not ticking then go another 1/4 turn. Be sure not to over tighten! And oh yeah.. may wanna do it in some old clothes cause u can expect oil to be spitting if the rocker is in fact clapping.
with the engine running, take an old rag, double it up real good, (if it has duals, get your mom or dad or a buddyto do one side) and cover up the exhaust. if its an exhaust leak, you'll really hear it.
Never thaught of that... Good idea... hehe By the way would a small exauhst leak (pin hole size) cause u to lose any horse power?
i think hp loss would be negligible,the sound is just annoying ....
and a small leak often turns into a bigger one.....
what I do to find any noise is cut a length of heater hose or garden hose a few feet long. long enough to reach from you r ear to whatever you want to hear. put on end on your ear and use your other hand to guide the end of the hose around all the exhaust joints, you will definately be able to tell iff you find a leak or not with that. another way is to take off the fan when its cold and start it up, you should be able to feel exhaust leaks in the manifolds like that also. and another idea, have a friend sit in the car and push the brakes and the gas (in gear) at the same time, not a burnout but enough to put a load on the engine, engine load seams to bring out manifold leaks more than just idle. good luck. you can use your hose to stick on the top of the valve cover to to listen for lifter ticks if you dont find it to be the exhaust. I've had this problem before so I know how ya feel.
a friend of mine had the same kind of noise & he changed the motor(thinking its bad) only to find of it was his distributor that was making the noise. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT it could be any of the above reasons also & i would look at those first.........joe
In my '84 Grand Prix with a 305 I had a tick in it as well. Since I was replacing the engine I just drove it with the tick for about 4 or 5 months. It never did anything bad (engine still ran good when I took it out). Turned out to be a lifter was messed.
1984 Pontiac Grand Prix
-350 4-bolt main
-Torker II Intake
-Holley 600 cfm 4-barrel
-Flowmaster Afterburner headers
-Turbo 350 Transmission
One trick for finding a ticking lifter is to take a broomstick handle and place one end on the valve cover while holding the other end at your ear, then move the handle from one cylinder to another. If you have lifter noise, you will definitely hear it when you get to the right cylinder!
A few years ago I was driving thru the rain on my way home from work when suddenly I was forced to drive to one side of the right lane and splashed thru a water puddle that almost sent the car sliding into the curb. As soon as I regained controll, the car picked up a bab vibration and began to spit fire through the carb and pop and bang and make all kinds of noise. Since I run a MSD box on the car with a gutted dist. I assumed water had gotton into the dist. I drove it around the block and parked it and left it for a few day's to dry. I fired it up and the engine, popped, banged spit fire as well as this very wierd ticking noise that I was not acustomed to hearing. Worried at this point, l lifted the hood and went to unscrew the dist. cap and it just fell off! The water I had to drive through knocked the cap right off the dist base. She ran well agian after cleaning and reinspecting all the electronics.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
We got Inkblot a new area rug to tear to shreds this week, this time in bright olive green. Sets him off well, don't you think.1 (Naturally we do all our interior decorating with cat complementing in mind.) On the right we have — what? Let's call it experimental catblogging. Domino has a sound she makes that means, "Get down on the floor and play with me." She made it this morning, so I got down on the floor and played with her. This time, however, I had my camera, so I stretched out my arms and took some pictures of her playing with my head. This is one of her favorite activities. Pretty lucky for me, no?
1And very presidential too. He's thinking of using this color for the Oval Office carpet after he wins election next year.


text: A lot depends on what fabric and pattern you are using for the runner. I did one with bandana fabrics on the front and denim on the back. That one I did not add batting of any kind as I felt like it was ok as it was. Any others I've done I've used a really low loft batting (left over from doing a kid's cloth book). I liked the slight poufiness of the batting on the SID french braid ones I did.


text: It's stories like this one posted on MSN that make me angry. As the article rightly points out, people you would hire for any other service are required to pass, at the minimum, a state exam. So why in the world aren't these so-called "personal trainers" required to do the same? Quite frankly, it scares me. I used to work in the industry, and I've seen first hand the incompetence some trainers exhibit. In their eyes, a workout is only good when their client is beaten to a pulp and can no longer walk. Safety procedures, health concerns, and physical ability are all ignored. It's scary, not to mention extremely unsafe. These trainers are giving all the good trainers out there a bad name. I've included a few pointers to follow if you are considering hiring a personal trainer for yourself, to ensure you don't end up like the poor woman mentioned in the above article. 1.) Look for a trainer with a 4 year degree in Exercise Science or a related field from an accredited college or university. 2.) Ideally, in addition to a degree, a trainer should also have a certification from an organization like NSCA, NASM, or ACSM. 3.) Do not base a trainer's qualifications on how he or she looks. Big muscles do NOT equal knowledge. 4.) Don't assume they know what is best for you. You know your body better than anyone else. Follow your instincts. 5.)Do not feel pressured to attempt to complete a workout if you are physically unable to. A good trainer should not make you feel ashamed or inferior. Personal training can be a great service to those who need guidance and motivation to start a workout program, and there are certainly some great trainers out there who know what they are doing and can help you safely reach your goals. Like any other service you would invest in, just do your research and make sure you find someone who is a good fit for you.

Published: 2015-09-10, by Cecilia Hill.
FLV Video Player is an app for playing FLV videos, that also works as a manager for all the videos stored on your phone, be it films, music files, or TV programs. The range of supported formats is quite broad. The design is simple, but the app works well aside from a few small delays.
The app is able to play back videos in the following formats: MP4, AVI, FLV, and MKV in high definition (720p as well as 1080p). In addition, the following formats are also compatible: WMV, AVI, MOV, M4V, MPG, and 3GP, among others. You can play videos via streaming from your own device. A word of caution, though; to use this app it you'll need to download additional software programs.
When we tested the app it closed without warning when we tried to play a video. The ads are way too intrusive, and the design is really basic.
