My hard drive crashed this last week and I ended up setting up a local dev environment on Ubuntu on a couple machines. Here are the steps I took; this should get anyone to a place where they're ready to start Drupal development on a local machine. In a nutshell, this how-to includes installing and configuring Ubuntu 12.04, Apache 2.2 (including virtual hosts configuration), MySQL 5.5, PHP 5.3.x, phpMyAdmin, SVN 1.7, Git, Eclipse (with PDT, Remote System Explorer, Subclipse, Egit), dnsmasq, and Drush.
Last night I installed it on my home computer following these steps and it took less than 2 hours, including download time.
- Install Ubuntu
- I use the Ubuntu windows installer; Google it
- Add the terminal to the launcher ribbon (on left side of screen) by clicking on Dash Home and then searching for terminal, then drag and drop on launcher ribbon
- sudo apt-get update
- Install vim
- sudo apt-get install vim
- Here's a nice vim cheatsheet: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/vimcheat.html
- Install LAMP
- sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
- test apache
- Test: http://localhost
- test php
- echo "{C}{C}
" | sudo tee /var/www/testing.php
- sudo service apache2 restart
- Test: http://localhost/testing.php
- echo "{C}{C}
- Set Apache fully qualified domain name (sometimes an error may come up, I set it anyways, even if the error doesn't come up)
- echo "ServerName localhost" | sudo tee /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn
- sudo service apache2 reload
- Test MySQL
- cat /etc/hosts | grep localhost
- Should say that 127.0.0.1 is home
- cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep bind-address
- Should say that 127.0.0.1 is home
- cat /etc/hosts | grep localhost
- test apache
- sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
- Install phpmyadmin to manage your databases through a UI
- sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
- sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
- last line of file: Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
- sudo service apache2 restart
- test: http://localhost/phpmyadmin
- Install svn and git
- sudo apt-get install subversion (installs 1.6)
- you'll need to update svn to 1.7 to use with Subclipse 1.8
- echo "deb http://opensource.wandisco.com/ubuntu lucid svn17" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/svn.list
- sudo wget -q http://opensource.wandisco.com/wandisco-debian.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (this may take a really long time)
- sudo apt-get install libsvn-java (you'll need this for eclipse)
- you'll need to update svn to 1.7 to use with Subclipse 1.8
- sudo apt-get install git
- sudo apt-get install subversion (installs 1.6)
- Install and configure Eclipse
- Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for Eclipse
- Upon first open, it'll ask to set your default workspace location; I set mine as /home/$USER/www
- Open Eclipse, go to Help -> Install Software and select "Use all sites". Search and install the following:
- PDT (PHP Dev Tools)
- remote system explorer (for SSH support)
- subclipse
- http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x (subclipse)
- Drupal for Eclipse (see http://groups.drupal.org/node/39938 for details)
- egit
- Add svn 1.7 from above to eclipse.ini
- sudo vim /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini
- Add to a line immediately after "-vmargs":
- -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni
- Add a few views to Eclipse
- Window -> Show View -> Remote System Explorer, SVN repositories, Git
- Add a SVN or Git repo, used in the next step
- Some other configuration changes you'll want to make
- Package Explorer -> View Menu -> Filters -> uncheck .* resources.
- Window -> Preferences -> Remote Systems -> Files
- Select "Show hidden files"
- Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for Eclipse
- Either checkout a project to your workspace or create one from scratch
- I use this to configure Apache virtual hosts, which I why I do it now
- I use ~/www/[project_dir]/public_html for web root (Note; in Drupal practice, this would be the [project_dir]/Drupal directory, which is included in the checkout)
- Setup your Apache virtual hosts
- Note: If you use dnsmasq for DNS resolution (discussed below), do not use .local extension, it's a PITA
- mkdir ~/www/[project_dir]/public_html (if you didn't do a checkout from above)
- mkdir ~/www/logs/[project_dir]
- sudo touch /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf
- vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf
- Add the following: NameVirtualHost *
- sudo touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.dev
- vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.dev
- File should look something like this:
# Example.dev (/etc/apache2/sites-available/example.dev)
ServerName example.dev
ServerAlias www.example.dev
# Indexes + Directory Root.
DirectoryIndex index.php
DocumentRoot /home/$USER/www/[proj_dir]/public_html
# Logfiles
ErrorLog /home/$USER/www/logs/[proj_dir]/error.log
CustomLog /home/$USER/www/logs/[proj_dir]/access.log combined
- sudo a2ensite example.dev
- sudo service apache2 restart
- Note: in some instances, you may get a "[warn] mixing * ports and non-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported, or that "[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no virtual hosts". I fix this by commenting out NameVirtualHost * in the /etc/apache2/ports.conf file and then removing :80 in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file.
- Enable mod_rewrite while you're at it
- cd /etc/apache2/modules-enabled
- sudo ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load rewrite.load
- sudo service apache2 restart
- Now you need DNS to resolve locally
- Option 1: edit your hosts file
- sudo vim /etc/hosts
- Add the following: 127.0.0.1 example.dev
- Option 2: Alternatively, I recommend running dnsmasq and configuring all .dev extensions to resolve to 127.0.0.1. Note that using the .local extension results in lots of problems and kills baby kittens, don't use it.
- First, Ubuntu 12.04 has dnsmasq installed and enabled by default. Config file, y u no work? This needs to be disabled so we can install a version of dnsmasq that allows configuration.
- sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
- Comment out dns=dnsmasq
- sudo restart network-manager
- Now, install dnsmasq
- sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
- sudo vim /etc/dnsmasq.conf
- Uncomment line 62 and update to: address=/.dev/127.0.0.1
- Uncomment line 90 and update to: listen-address=127.0.0.1
- sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
- Test to make sure any subdomain of .dev resolves to local
- dig example.dev
- nslookup example.dev
- First, Ubuntu 12.04 has dnsmasq installed and enabled by default. Config file, y u no work? This needs to be disabled so we can install a version of dnsmasq that allows configuration.
- Option 1: edit your hosts file
- Navigate to http://example.dev and test!
- Install Drush
- Install PEAR: sudo apt-get install php-pear
- sudo pear channel-discover pear.drush.org
- sudo pear install drush/drush
- sudo drush
- Navigate to /home/$USER/.drush and run:
- sudo chown –R $USER ./
- sudo chgrp –R $USER ./


text: I'm coming from a Nissan Xterra which has space for 5 people and a fair amount of space in the back. Gas mileage sucks (slightly worse than WRX) and the ride sucks. I'm honestly struggling a bit with pulling the trigger on a WRX because the gas mileage isn't good, you need premium fuel, the summer tires on the car, etc. But I honestly don't see much else out there I like. I guess the $25k-$30k is tough to swallow for a car.

Watch Can We Help in high quality on iviewwatch on iview
When did the term Anno Domini appear? And when did other countries adopt A.D.?
asks Dr William Moulton, Qld
Answer from Geoff Hutchison:
We might think its been around for a couple thousand years but it actually hasnt. It was in the 6th century that the Pope declared he wanted a Christian chronology so he asked an Italian monk, Dionysius, to come up with that chronology and he looked back and he could see that Jesus was born, or the belief that Jesus was born in the Roman year 753. So 754 became AD1. But it did take Europe 200 or 300 years to get used to the idea of this kind of thing.
[Kate Burridge] It has been used as a euphemism for old age, the passing of years, the Anno Domini.
Interesting too, in other cultures of course they had their own ways of doing things and the span of a year may have been determined by the reign of a ruler, so King Tut had the Fourth Harvest of King Tut. For those of you who dont like 2009 in Australia, you might opt for the approaching third summer of King Kevin.

Hi, I am a networking guy and i need to understand which configuration do i need to connect 2 UCS 6120 to my Nexus 5000 (2 with VPC),
I know that i must activate npiv and fcoe feature, and read about creating vsans and vfc, my first question is does anybody have a procedure? (for example: 1.- You must create a vsan, 2.- You need to associate vsan with vlans, 3.- etc)..
Secondly, i have some doubts,
1.- If i have fc interfaces do i need to create an vfc interface? (or this is only if i am going to use the 10G ethernet interfaces?.)
2.- Why i need to bind the vsan to the vlans?.
Please help me with this, the SAN world is new to me!!
Hope you could help me,

Reusing items - by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups, or selling them - reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again. There are a number of ways to find previously owned items. Buying these items or exchanging them with others is a great way to help the planet.

Swanson Oakville Merlot (375ML half-bottle) 2004
Merlot from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker Notes
2004 Swanson Merlot is a powerful, concentrated expression of the variety. The nose shows black cherry, smoke, blackberry, and espresso. The flavors in the mouth echo the aromatic expression nicely. The fine-grained tannins for which Swanson Merlots have become known provide the round, ripe texture of this wine.
While drinking surprisingly well today, this wine will improve and be enjoyable for at least the next 6-8 years.
Critical Acclaim
SwansonView all wine
Founded by W. Clarke Swanson, Jr. in 1985, Swanson Vineyards consists of 140 acres of estate vineyards in the Oakville area of Napa Valley. The winery produces Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio, a late harvest Semillon, plus their flagship proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, called "Alexis."

Oh sure, I guess friends can walk down the streets of French towns with their hands on each other's butts. I mean that could just say, "Hey. Thanks for helping me win Wimbledon and The Olympics and The US Open." It could also mean they got into a fight with superglue and their hands were left in awkward positions. Just think if he had gone for her breast before her butt. How awkward would it be to walk down the streets like that.

Wholefoods are foods that are unprocessed and unrefined, or processed and refined as little as possible, before being consumed. Whole foods typically do not contain added ingredients, such as salt, carbohydrates, or fat. Examples of whole foods include grains, beans, fruits, vegetables and non-homogenized dairy products.Although, originally all human food was whole food, one of the earliest uses of the term post-industrial age was in 1960 when the leading organic food organization the SoilAssociation opened a shop in the name selling organic and whole grain products in London.
The term is often confused with organic food but whole foods are not necessarily organic, nor are organic foods necessarily whole. The United States Food and Drug Administration defines whole grains as cereal grains containing the bran, endosperm and germ of the original grain. Federal Dietary Guidelines issued by the Centre for Nutrition Policy and Promotion in 2005 recommended the consumption of at least three servings of whole grains each day, as there is evidence that they help cut risk of cancer and heart disease.
"Diets rich in whole and unrefined foods, like whole grains, dark green and yellow/orange-fleshed vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds, contain high concentrations of antioxidant phenolics, fibers and numerous other phytochemicals that may be protective against chronic diseases." Source: Wikipedia.
The modern wholefoods consumer is often a person wishing to take advantage of the health benefits of good food nutrition with an eye to the evironment and reducing their personal footprint in the world; often achieved by combining healthy eating with an ECO ethos ranging from using toiletries containing as few chemicals as possible to buying recylcled consumables such as toilet tissue, to sourcing green energy for the home and the doing without plastic packaging in all its forms.

Back in August we brought you preview designs on the long awaited, and much rumoured PlayStation phone. Now, courtesy of Engadget, what it claims to be the final device has actually been pictured.
As we suspected the device offers a screen with a control panel that slides out from underneath, and looks similar to the PSPgo that has been underwhelming everyone for the past year or so.
According to Engadget the device will run Android 3.0 Gingerbread, and will have the Sony Marketplace so you can download titles straight to your phone. You won't be able to add any via Sony Memory Stick, as, remarkably, the phone won't have one, sporting a microSD card slot instead. Spec wise it's powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655, 512MB of RAM and 1GB of ROM.
Word on the street is that it could potentially be out for Christmas, but that early 2011 is more likely.
While Engadget insists that the image is of real hardware, gaming site Now Gamer insists that the images are indeed fake.
Our initial impression of the device, was essentially, "is that it?", so we wouldn't be too upset to discover that this wasn't, in fact, that real deal.

sorry if there is a better place to post this, I could have sworn there was a "in the news" place but I cant seam to find it. :-/
this is in my home town, about 50,000 people, what was this guy thinking?
IDAHO FALLS - A man was stopped at the Idaho Falls airport Tuesday for trying to go through security with a disassembled handgun. The magazine and ammunition were also found in his carry-on.
The man was detained, but no charges have been made at this time. If federal charges aren't issued, the prosecutors office says he will likely face state charges.
The identity of the man has not been released.
seems like the guy is not that bright.
Walk softly ...

I went through Idaho Falls airport last weekend after visiting family. As I was going through security I discovered I had left by drivers license in a shirt pocket at my sisters. They asked if I had any other form of I.D. and all I had was my C.P.P and a credit card. They accepted the C.P.P. and passed me on though.

Kidde Smoke Alarm Battery Replacement
Hi, I've just replaced the battery for my Kidde smoke alarm model KN-COSM-IBCA. It seems to be alright right now but I'm not sure if the process of it was done correctly. The alarm was saying "Low Battery Detected" every minute or so but the green led was blinking.
So first I turned off the smoking alarm power downstairs in the basement. Now it stopped saying "Low Battery Detected" but now it did a single beep and the green light did blink once in a while. I'm just guessing that's because it's still on with the battery. I took the alarm off from the AC power from the ceiling. And it just kept on beeping and saying stuff so I quickly replaced the battery and hooked it back onto the ceiling. Then it was saying "Carbon Monoxide detected" for both my alarms and I think it eventually stopped. I turned the smoke alarm power back on and it kept beeping for a bit and then stopped.
I'd like to know if I've done anything wrong and how I can change the process for the future, thanks!

Today, many Americans will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo, a holiday celebrated in America and Mexico that commemorates the Mexican Army's victory in the Battle of Pueblo. In America, most of the celebration is accompanied by copious amounts of partying. Unlike most Americans, I see today as a different sort of holiday: the 201st birthday of Søren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard's thought offers an interesting reflection for us on this tequila-drenched holiday.For Kierkegaard, the Modern Age has ushe … [Read more...]

Un-sandwiching Holy Saturday: Reclaiming the Discipline of Waiting
Holy Saturday tends to gets sandwiched between Good Friday and Easter. I want to make the case that it is actually quite important.It is, at its essence, about waiting. Christ's disciples were awaiting persecution by the Romans and rabbis. We now are await the return of Christ. It is about waiting in limbo, in between stages, caught in the middle of the death of Good Friday and the life of Easter.It is, thus, an apt metaphor for this earthly life. As Christians we have died to our old … [Read more...]
Omnivory and Christianity
I am a troubled omnivore. Or more precisely: I am a troubled, Christian omnivore. I eat meat, but I do not do so without caution and without doubts; and it is my Christianity that is responsible for much of this caution and many of these doubts.I find the relationship between the Christian and food a very complicated one. On the one hand, the Christian is uniquely situated to recognize the sacramentality of the eating act (and with it, to take his food with a heaping portion of delight and … [Read more...]
Like a Child
As the oldest of seven kids, I've done my fair share of wiping dirty faces, checking for closet monsters, and speculating as to why the sky is blue. But I also grew up in a church that encouraged "child-like faith." In that church, this phrase was often shorthand for, "We don't have answers for this, but having questions and worrying about it shows a lack of faith." Sometimes "this" was a problem the Church has struggled with for ages, such as the problem of suffering, but sometimes it referred t … [Read more...]
Winter's Humbling
Cuttings of yellow forsythia bloom on my coffee table as March threatens its last (fingers crossed) snowstorm... Finally. I confess a sigh of relief at the resurgence of sunshine, warmth and colors other than brown, gray and white. Winter's grip on the Earth is growing weak in the face of spring's insistent return, yet its bleak work has primed me for the impudent joy of crocuses blooming beside melting snowdrifts. Like winter's firm discipline has prepared the tired earth for sprouting seeds, … [Read more...]
A Brief Theology of Coffee
The season of Lent has come, and I've spent the past weeks watching my more liturgical friends drop off Facebook and refuse beers, chocolate, and Netflix references. This season leaves me feeling guilty, not so much because I'm not giving up anything for Lent, but because I didn't remember that it was Lent until I saw a friend post "Ash Wednesday" on Facebook. My spiritual calendar has been reduced to social media posts, which I now feel guilty about reading anyway.To cover this gui … [Read more...]
Jesus of Nazareth: A Savior with a Hometown
Seamus Heaney. Wendell Berry. William Wordsworth. Robert Frost. In my childhood exploration of words and books, I discovered these poets weaving tapestries of grandeur with the homespun yarn of the mundane.

Recently I opened a book of prose that paints a similar picture of the practical and profound. Reading … [Read more...]

Let's see... If the Jets trade for ROR, I like him playing in top 6, likely with Kane on his wing. Hopefully chemistry would happen between the two.
Now I also like the L-L-W line and option to go back to it, if other combos aren't working. I like Burmi as a 3rd line center - 2nd line fill-in with injuries - and 1st unit pk'er.
So, should jets move Little or Burmi (assuming the Avs want either of them) to get ROR? Maybe, but a 'hole' may be created. And where does Scheifele fit long-term? Top 6 C or RW? Little's versatility with LLW and RW is valuable to the Jets.
Seems to me the Jets are a year or two away from really doing a deal like this, but these 'opportunities' don't come around often. Ideally, you move a draft pick for ROR (even a 1st) to fill that hole u need, but Jets can't afford to do that. Maybe a 2014 1st. Would folks be okay with a 2014 1st for ROR? Jets make playoffs next year - its a 20(ish) pick.

I agree. Cocoon can be a _very_ powerful tool. One consolation
is that sub-sitemaps can't load any extra jars. And before anyone
thinks that is a good idea--it is not. It is a maintenance and
security nightmare so don't even ask for it.
I have been reading _alot_ about the Java security model. There
are some things that I am in the process of formulating to enhance
security at the ComponentManager level as well as the sitemap level.
I can guarantee you this much, the security infrastructure most
likely will be targeted at Cocoon 2.1 and Avalon 4.1. The following
is a list of my current thinking:
Avalon changes
Configuration: allow for encryption at the element level, and
delayed decryption until actually needed.
Configuration: add a method for ConfigurationBuilder to read
encrypted configuration files.
ComponentManager: Add security manager that adds a permission access
to specific roles. There are details to work out,
but it can be done. I don't know how it would work
for the ComponentSelector.
Cocoon changes
Sitemap: sitemaps extend Java's Principal with their name set to
their class name. The sitemap uses their name/id as the
Principal that accesses the ComponentManager.
Sitemap: provide ability to block specific classes to be used in

Basically, you want to remove the ability for the end user to
create XSP pages. Ok. Let me know if the security model above
won't help.
> [ I'm a wee bit concerned since an end-user, writing their own

This is true. They would. We could add a method that would require
a Principal to accompany the getConnection() method. Basically, if
the configuration for the DataSourceComponent specifies any Principals
that can access the component, it would throw a SecurityException
if the plain method was used:
interface DataSourceComponent {
public Connection getConnection() throws SecurityException;
public Connection getConnection(Principal authenticatedClient)
throws SecurityException;
This would enable you to limit the sitemaps that could access the
Connection--or other Principals in general.

At this moment, no. Cocoon was originally designed to work as
a well behaved Servlet. That means that what you are trying to
do was not in the scope for Cocoon when it was being developed.
Let me know if there are more things that should be in the
security model I've outlined--or if you have any further input.

I've had my Minirig a year now thanks to this site. It truly is a magnificent device. Use it every day and have only charged it about 5 times. I cannot praise it enough.
Yup, they are quite brilliant. Not seen or heard anything that comes close before or since.
Can I plug the Minirig to my Android-phone? I was actually looking into Sonos' multi room options for the kitchen and bathroom but I'll need to add a ZP90 as well as I only have a Squeezebox player now. The Sonos setup will be expensive. However, I could just buy the Minirig to fulfill my needs while saving up for the Sonos setup. But...will the Minirig be compatible with my smartphone?
Also, can you compare these with the X-Mini Max II? I have the X-Mini Max II and they're quite good if you can find them for £15-20 but at their retail price (£45-50) they're quite expensive and don't exactly live up to the hype IMO.
Yes, the Minirig will work with almost any device, so long as the signal isn't already amplified. It comes with a 3.5mm stereo jack cable that will work with all phones that use a standard headphone jack.
Oh, and the X-Mini Max II will be blown out of the water by all the speakers mentioned in this review, and particularly by the Minirig.
Thank you for the quick response, Ed!
Just curious. Where and when do you guys use your Minirig?
We use it in the bathroom/shower every day - as do the kids. Kitchen, garden, work (AV presentations - thus partially tax deductible), camping, beach trips and particularly holidays.
Great! Thank Angusmb. The portability and performance really is tempting. I also think the price is fair and I'm also quite sure that I'll be shocked the very first time I hear the Minirig.
I know it's just one unit but wouldn't the sound be muffled and hard to separate with this one unit since it's mono? Surely you need a stereo configuration to get the best out of them, or am I badly mistaken here?
You can plug it in directly, but I find it far more convenient to plug it into a Samsung HS3000 bluetooth receiver. Cheap and it supports APT-X, which is great for phones that support it. I wish the HS3000 had battery life comparable to the minirig but you can't have everything.
Although since I got an Altec Lansing IMW725 for £75 on ebay I've only used the minirig when I'm travelling. The Altec has taken over the shower because it has far better bass, even if it's a little muddier overall. The Altec's a little harder to find for that price nowadays, but it's not too difficult.
The Minirig simply uses a 3.5mm auxiliary jack so it will work with any device regardless of operating system. It is a different class for the Max II, they aren't in the same ballpark.
By all means it does have its limitations and in particular it's best not suited to enhancing the audio on a laptop, say, where you're closeup and want an accurate stereo effect. However, for camping, the kitchen, out in the garden or in the garage it's great for simply sticking in a corner and cranking out some tunes.
You're badly mistaken ;)
Don't confuse stereo with clarity, they are two very separate things and the Minirig has stunning clarity.
So far we have yet to be impressed by any portable speaker using multiple drivers, the dimensions are simply too small to create any real stereo separation and it wastes space that could be better spent on a single large driver and bigger battery.
I remember the IMW725 well, it really surprised me when I reviewed it: http://www.trustedreviews.c... - as it is slowly being phased out there have been some incredible deals around.
I hadn't thought of using a Bluetooth receiver with a Minirig, but it is an interesting idea. AptX is a brilliant codec and it really should be a standard part of all Bluetooth speakers, but I do still find Bluetooth quite a faff compared to just plugging in your device directly and that gets the best sound quality and saves substantial battery life on both the phone and the speaker.
It was one of the reviews on this site mentioning the good deals for the IMW725 that put me onto it in the first place, so thanks for that :)
Plugging the phone directly into the Minirig is simpler (and louder), but not so good if I want to use the Minirig in the bathroom. It's often handy to have the phone and speaker separate, for example selecting tracks and controlling the music is easier.
Any Bluetooth audio device that doesn't have Apt-X is an automatic 'no' for me. I think the biggest problem with Bluetooth streaming is that you can't stream to more than one device at a time. That fairly simple change would make multi-room audio far simpler and cheaper to achieve.
hey, guys, I can offer a lot of beats Headphone. MSN:firstname.lastname@example.com
Highly recommend not buying the pill after taking a trip to the apple store testing every single name brand speaker only to find out that the jambox is the worst and that the beats pill is the second worse and the 2 Are terrible compared to the "ultimate ears boom" or any other jbl speaker in the store. The pill is the same price as the other speakers but preformed one fourth as well. So I challenge you to do do before buying this product that puts the beats by dre's name to shame
i love it great sound but bad battery life
I just received my second Pill after returning the first one because it simply didn't work: no electricity, and when I called customer service they confirmed the power supply was often a problem; it couldn't be turned on whether plugged in or not, and battery couldn't charge. I just got the replacement, and same problem, obviously no testing and no effort to assure reliability, this product is worthless!
Even with using my iPod through the audio jack and with mid level volume, my Pills battery life lasts nowhere near 8 hours - cut that in half. The sound is not a letdown, though.
do you need to supply batteries for it or is there a seperate charger
if people never focused on the "beats" name and actually looked around for a good bluetooth speaker, they would realized how bad the sound quality is just like the beeats headphones
The noise for high volume performance can be easily fixed by playing quality versions of music and not the low-quality minified versions of the songs. For HQ mp3s I did not have ANY issues with distortion as load as it can play (VERY loud). The bass indeed lacks a little bit of bass depending on the song/mp3 but other than that it's perfect (So Far)!
I have both the BOSE Mini Soundlink and the Beats Pill and I have found that neither one keeps its charge long at all! I usually just connect one to play music while getting ready for work. I always manually shut them off and when I turn them back on the next day they're both blinking red/orange: "charge needed"! I don't know what the odds of getting two different portable speakers and having them both be faulty are but its so strange! I want to try and bring the Pill back and exchange it but the problem is I won it from Interscope Records through this app, so I can't bring it "back to the store" I got it from :/ I'm going to end up calling Beats customer service I just haven't had the time.
I've also encountered a big problem with BOTH speakers. While using either the sound will just stop playing, mid song, show, whatever I'm using it for, it'll just go quiet. I'll check the device and what I'm playing is still going and hasn't stopped so its not due to that. I'll try pausing and starting it again and still no sound, so I have to turn off the speaker, turn it back on again and reconnect it via Bluetooth again. Has anyone ever had this problem? It's happened to both the Pill and my Bose Mini Soundlink, and again, so weird! It's not a problem I can easily replicate either to show someone at the BOSE store and I have no idea when it's going to happen so I can't take a video or anything. Anyone know what the issue may be?
My Bose speaker has some connectivity problems as well. It never connects to any of my devices right: iPhone 5s, iPad 3, or my MacBook. I usually start the process by turning on my device's Bluetooth, then turn on the speaker and try to connect them, I always get the "not in range" error despite having the thing right next to my device! This doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the Pill.
I try clearing the BOSE Mini Soundlink's memory which the directions tell me to do, as did customer service when I called, and still nothing. So almost every single time I want to use it, I have to click "forget device" on my device, then clear the speaker's memory, and THEN I have to try and connct the device all over again, as if its day 1 all over again, its incredible annoying.
Anyone know anything about any of these issues and how to fix them? :(
Just got myself one of these, I am surprised the sound that could come out of such a small thing. I was expecting the sound to be reasonable, and not as good what it actually sounds like. Despite the reviews of having no base, this thing has an amazing base in comparison to its small compact size, which would beat any small sized standard portable radio or audio CD radio , and standard entry level PC speakers. Though you can't compare it with its big brothers and larger similar devices. The pill shape adds to the efficiency of mobility and easy to carry around, that you could have this in your handbag or large jacket pocket. Devices of other brands do not have a well designed shape , and are all square and rigid. This round shape makes it be handled well in your hands. If anyone wishes to have better sound than what the pill offers, you would have to sacrifice portability with size. But this will do the job with me… and beats my standard pc speakers, the built in speakers on the Macbook … and if you live in an apartment flats half volume won't annoy the Neighbours, full volume would.
From the symptoms described, I think the problem is that you're using Apple. :p
This product has usb charge port. In that usb charge port can we put usb and play songs?

Annual Beach Display of Crosses to Change
Crosses to be Replaced by Images of Children Around the World
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A group that has put up crosses on the Santa Barbara beach to remember those who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, is changing its effort.
This weekend, the crosses will be replaced by wooden dolls, created by local children.
The organizers hope the public begins to discuss the impacts facing the earth and also some solutions. They are very concerned about what will be left for the next generation.
Tom Urban with Veterans for Peace says the war will not be forgotten, "We thought we would emphasize the cost of war, in a different direction, including what it is doing to the environment and our new motto is the message 'Is war killing our planet?'"
The Arlington West display began in 2003. It has been seen by thousands of visitors each weekend it was up. The schedule has changed over the years, but it was always up on Memorial Day weekend.
The new display with the children's dolls will also have some banners up about the earth and a place for people to comment. "You gotta listen to people. You have to hear where they are coming from because too many on the left don't listen, they preach. I've had people yell at me here, but we ended up shaking hands. We found a lot in common," said Ron Dexter with Veterans for Peace.
Sunday at 1 p.m. there will be speeches by local leaders pertaining to the planet, global warming, and energy use.

Cookbook commemorates the king of Texas caterers
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Don Strange, founder of Don Strange of Texas, built a catering empire before his death in 2009 by keeping it fresh and ignoring the rules.
His wife, Frances, has gathered his stories and 100 recipes in a new cookbook called "Don Strange of Texas: His Life and Recipes."
Strange's disregard for rules allowed him to be creative, which could mean anything from paring cranberry sauce with beef to flying half a frozen cow across country in what looked to airport personnel like a coffin.
"He didn't know there were any rules," said Frances, his wife of 48 years.
President George H.W. Bush and music trio Lady Antebellum have attended Don Strange events, and country music stars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert held their wedding at the Strange ranch last May.
Frances Strange spoke to Reuters about her husband, the San Antonio-based company that bears his name and the sometimes outrageous lengths he would go to amaze his guests.
Q: How did your husband's catering business begin?
A: "It started with his parents' grocery store in 1952. There was a barbeque pit in the back and the rest is history." Continued...

The Local: Three people were wounded in a shooting at a mosque in France on Friday. Initial reports say the three men, believed to be a father and his two sons, were shot at as they left Friday prayers at a mosque in Villers-le-Bel, north of Paris.
Three men were left seriously injured in a shooting outside a mosque near the French capital on Friday.
The victims were reportedly shot at as they returned to their car after Friday prayers at the Villiers-le-Bel mosque in the Val-d'Oise region to the north of Paris. According to prosecutors the shots were not fired "at the mosque itself".
Four bullets were fired at the men, who police sources have told French media were from the same family.
Two of the victims aged in their 20s and 30s were rushed to hospital at Gonesse and Beaujon de Clichy. At least one of them is in a critical condition, media report.
Investigators are keeping an open line of enquiry about the motive for the attack.

Serving patients seeking LASIK eye surgery (iLASIK) in Austin and the surrounding area
Mitchel Wong, MD, Shannon Wong, MD, and John Odette, MD, are board-certified ophthalmologists who comprise the medical and surgical team of Austin Eye, a comprehensive eye care practice serving Austin LASIK eye surgery patients in two convenient locations. The ophthalmologists of Austin Eye are committed to providing their patients with the finest technology and the latest surgical techniques. They were the first to perform LASIK eye surgery in Austin and have since remained on the leading-edge of advancements in vision correction. Austin Eye was among the first 25 centers in the United States to utilize IntraLase technology for all-laser LASIK (IntraLASIK or iLASIK) and was the first in Austin to offer wavefront-guided IntraLASIK surgery. The surgical and medical staff of Austin Eye strives to deliver the quality of eye care they would hope to receive themselves.
In addition to LASIK, Austin Eye is often visited by patients seeking a cataract surgeon Austin patients trust. Their surgeons offer refractive cataract surgery and a range of other eye care services, including lens implant surgery, glaucoma treatment, diabetic eye care, corneal transplantation surgery, reconstructive eyelid surgery as well as routine eye exams and cosmetic facial rejuvenation treatments with Botox and Juvederm injectables.

More About Vision Correction at Austin Eye
Austin Eye offers a range of other eye care services.
At Austin Eye LASIK is performed using the all-laser IntraLASIK surgery (custom iLASIK) technique. This procedure combines leading-edge diagnostic equipment with bladeless LASIK technology for customized treatments and optimal vision correction results and safety.
To perform iLASIK surgery, the eye surgeons at Austin Eye first use a wavefront measurement device to obtain a unique corneal map of each eye that identifies even the most subtle refractive errors. Next, a femtosecond laser is used to create the corneal flap. Then the detailed wavefront map is used to guide an excimer laser, which reshapes the cornea, thereby bringing clear vision into focus. Following surgery, the corneal flap is placed in its original position to protect the eye during the healing process. Patients who undergo custom iLASIK often experience improved vision within the next 24 hours and are able to see better at all distances, often without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
What Do Patients Say About the Eye Surgeons of Austin Eye Clinic?
"Fantastic finally doctors, nurses and staff who care! Austin Eye is really a first class operation. I went to Dr. John Odette and got LASIK and I ran in a half marathon two days later without glasses or contacts. It is incredible. I would highly recommend them...At Austin Eye Dr. Odette took my measurements, answered all of my questions and remembered exactly who I was. They are everything you want in a doctor's office." Alex C.
"I've been going to Dr. Shannon Wong for over 5 years. He's extremely good. I have a couple of eye conditions that he monitors that have a variety of treatment options. He's very up front about what the risks and costs are. He's consoled me to hold off on a specific procedure that might help my vision until he's sure it will help. He's extremely competent, explains everything very thoroughly and treats you like you're an intelligent participant in your own eye care. Additionally, he's just a nice guy. His nursing staff is also very competent and friendly..." Marc S.
"I don't tend to splurge much...But sometimes you have to loosen the old money belt and make a big purchase. I did so almost two years ago to get LASIK at the Austin Eye Clinic, and it was well worth the fairly hefty price. I'm so glad I had my LASIK. No, "glad" isn't strong enough. I'm delighted. It has definitely improved the quality of my life, and how often can you say that about a purchase?...
Dr. Shannon Wong was great. He clearly knows his stuff, and he's pleasant yet efficient. And adorably, you get a Polaroid photo of you with Dr. Wong taken immediately post-surgery. Too cute. Best of all, Dr. Wong signs it for you like he's a rock star. And you know what--he IS a rock star in my book...
Check out the Austin Eye Clinic Web site. It gives a very thorough explanation of what LASIK is...it's very useful information if you're considering the surgery. Or just make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Wong and let him explain it..." Debbie R.

Butler got back in the game with their ability to knock down long distance shots, connecting on 7-11 of their three point attempts. Butler took a three point lead over Nevada heading into halftime.
Nevada and Butler continued to remain hot from the field to start the second half.

Danika Sharp found her shot in the second half, hitting several key three-point shots to keep Nevada ahead. Butler cut into the Wolf Pack's lead and the two teams were tied with 22 seconds left in the game.

News from the Horn of Africa Field.
In the Horn of Africa we celebrate the creativity of our leaders to train and educate all people. If they cannot read and write, we have an oral training called Emmaus Road. For those with a little education, we train in large groups with oral and written work. Those who excel at that level continue up for further education. When God calls a person to his service, the Horn wants to be ready. In our theological training we have more than 3,600 students.
It starts with a tree and children eager to learn. It finishes with men and women called of God who hungers to know more of his love. Education is vital in any field and so we strive to offer it with all of God's resources, but especially with His love.
The Creative Leadership Institute (CLI) and leadership development began in the Horn of Africa as a new strategy in the year 2002. It is a pastoral training extension program that provides theological education as well as training leaders for church planting. It requires the students to not just take classes but to implement what they learn from the education while they are training. Before they receive a grade from the class they must re-teach their class to other leaders of their districts or local churches in their local language. Before they can graduate from the program they must plant a church on their district and report to their District leaders.
Based on this strategy on March 3, 2010 on the 4th Southeast district assembly at Nassir, South Sudan the Area coordinator, Rev. John Yaul present to the assembly the twenty of the first CLI Sudanese pastors/students completed their requirements and graduated from the extension pastor-training program. Four received a Diploma of Theology and 16 received a Diploma of Ministry. The General Superintendent, Dr. David Graves ordained 8 of the first Sudan leaders and appointed DS's for Southeast Sudan Rev. David Gugh, Sudan East Rev. Andrew and Gambella Rev. Thomas Tutu. The RD, Dr. Chambo, Regional NCM coordinator, Rev. Cosmos and the Field Strategy coordinator, Rev. Ermias Mekuria attended the district assembly, graduation and ordination service at Nassir South Sudan.

Celebrations in the Month of March
March is such an exciting month. It comes in like a lion and we hope it goes out like a lamb. It's the month when spring finally arrives and we can break out of the indoors and begin to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. A lot more goes on in March than just spring and St. Patty's Day. Let's see what other occasions you can celebrate if you feel the need for a party or a get together.
Monthly Celebrations for March
If you are a proud parent of a straight A student you may be interested in knowing that it is Honor Society Awareness Month. You might want to plan a special dinner or an outing for the scholar in your family. Follow this up with National March to College Month when your senior should be seriously considering which college to attend.
Many of us would benefit from a seminar or lecture on how to Improve Management Skills Month. You could find a speaker in your area and convince friends to attend with you then go out for some coffee and cake afterwards. As would be expected it is Irish American Month and for those that like their fancy tickled it is International Mirth Month. No need to wait for April Fools day for pranks and jokes.
For ladies that hate to cook you will be pleased to know that March is National Frozen Food Month. So rev up your microwave and put your aprons away while you celebrate this month long occasion. In getting ready for April Showers that Bring May Flowers why not observe National Umbrella Month?
Weekly Celebrations in March
How about Celebrating Universal Women's week which runs from March 8th to the 14th? Here is a good one, National Toad Hollow Week which is from March 14th to 21st. I am unsure of what you should do, but maybe the kids will know. National Anonymous Giving Week from the 18th through the 24th doesn't mean you have to give material things, but perhaps some of your time to help those less fortunate.
The great state of Texas wants you to Go Nuts Over Texas Peanuts week which is from the 18th to the 24th. With our ecology in such a fragile state, don't forget to observe National Wildlife Week which is during the third week of March and National Agriculture Week to give farmers a thumbs up which runs from the `18th to the 24th. To help get you motivated for Spring cleaning, observe National Clutter Awareness Week from the 19th to the 25th followed by National Cleaning Week from the 25th to the 31st.
March is a time when we look forward to the warmer months ahead and look to put the gloomy winter months behind us. Find an occasion and have a party to shake the colder months off and get ready for spring.

text: Sup guys, Got a 08 escalade with 63,000 miles that i think has the infamous GM piston slap. When the truck sits overnight the next day the motor knocks like i put a whole bunch of marbles in a soda can.(you can't hear it when the truck idles, just when i push the gas thats when it gets loud) After about a minute it goes away. I already know GM isn't going to do anything so my question would be, What should i do? How much is a motor going to cost if it needs to be replaced? Its a real shame because i love the truck but I'm not going to be changing a motor on something thats fairly new. If i can't come to a conclusion as to what I'm going to do with it i mite just roll it through the auction over here and be done with it. I was looking into a new ML but i really like my escalade way better. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks

Dec 31 2006 about 2 hours ago.
I was pumping gas at my normal gas station in Fairfax VA. Before I got out of the car I always take a quick look around to see who is around me. I saw about a 6.2 guy wearing all black leather biker clothing talking to the really cute gas station attendent inside the gas station. I know her by sight and she knows me by sight cause thats my daily stop for cigarettes. I saw she was a little uneasy and she was alone in the actual store part of the station, there was me and probably one other guy in the gas station. I was between my car and the pump watching tentatively the body language of each. The guy wearing all black comes right at the store and starts walking directly at me. I could see right away he was either drunk or on some mind expanding drug. Didn't look like mary jane do to alot of the twitching and eyes were rolling back in his head.
As he was approaching he said "Can I talk to you" I immediately looked for an escape route. There wasn't really one. The Gentlman then said "I want to talk to you and I might offend you" Now I started getting alittle ancy. He kept coming closer to about a 5-6 feet distance I said "Stop right there, What do you need" He said he was a Indian and that us white men had all the money and he wanted one dollar." I said I really don't have anything to give him. I had 200 dollars in large bills on me and said to myself this may escalate if he sees all I have is 100 dollar bill and 50's. I then thought about my gun in my pocket holster. I also had a Emerson Karambit which I knew I could get to faster. I put my hand on my karambit rather then my gun because I didn't want to have to hands in 2 pockets. He started to argue with me. I repeated that I didn't have anything to give him. He called me some bad name I think "Honky tonk F***er or something like and then walked away. I really wasn't listening. When he finally left I went in to pay for my gas. I saw the gas attendant looking kind of frantic calling somebody. The attendant asked me if I was okay and what the guy asked me for. I then said for a dollar. She said yeah he was definetly on something. I got my stuff and left. I saw this guy folling individuals throughout the parking lot. I didn't call the police thinking to my self well hes only pan handling. Sorry for the mispellings and typos cause I still have alittle Adrenaline in right now.

Should Def Jam drop Jay-Z?
Word on the streets (i.e. the Internets) is that Jay-Z might be leaving Def Jam for real this time.
In that hilarious interview on Sirius Satellite Radio from this past weekend, in which Fiddy makes fun of Nas and Kelis, and Fat Joe, and Irv Gotti and Ja Rule, and pretty much everyone, Fiddy suggests that Jay is leaving Def Jam for Columbia Records, to start a new label with his boo-slash-beard Beyonce.
You'll recall that Columbia Records is now run by Rick Rubin, whom Jay worked with on the Black Album. One of Jay's old bag handlers, Hip-Hop, is an A&R or some such over there, and both the Clipse and Jim Jones (whom Jay has had beef with in the past) supposedly recently signed lucrative joint venture deals with the label.
According to an item today in the New York Daily News' Rush & Molloy column contract renewal negotiations between Jay and the TIs at Universal Music have broken down. Supposedly, Jay is demanding way too much money, considering he's hardly ever even in the office.
In particular, they're complaining that he's spending too much time touring, which probably doesn't serve to benefit the label itself much, especially since American Gangster probably isn't selling nearly as well as the label would have liked. After a month in stores, it's only sold something like 600,000 copies.
Here's the operative bit from the Rush & Molloy column, from an unnamed source inside the label.
"People have lost count of how many times he's come out of retirement," the source says. "Everybody knows he's not around the office much. Everybody at Universal loves him, but they can't justify paying him the money he wants when so many people have been laid off."
Now granted we've heard all sorts of rumors before, about Jay planning to leave Def Jam to start his own label with Beyonce, and about Jay having beef with LA Reid, and what have you. And these TIs have been known to plant a story in the paper while in the midst of contract negotiations.
My guess is that Def Jam really is interested in keeping Jay around, not so much in the sense that they think he's an effective executive, but because they don't want all of their rappers jumping ship to other labels. They just can't justify paying him very much, if he's not gonna do anything.
If anything, they'd probably like to have a piece of that touring money, let alone whatever else Jay's got his hands in these days – hardly any of which probably actually serves to benefit Def Jam. I mean, if he's not gonna generate much in the way of income actually selling records.
To play the white devil's advocate for a second, if I was Def Jam, I'd demand such a deal, or else I'd drop his ass like a bad habit. Worse case scenario, maybe Kanye West, who's still got some buzz, follows Jay to Columbia or whatever, but maybe he doesn't. Maybe the TIs at Universal can work some of their Dame Dash divide and conquer magic and find 'Ye a fake executive position, just like they did with Jay.

Now in it's third official year, Operation Superpower: Discovering your Superpower has been performed for over 50,000 students in more than 100 shows throughout the USA and Canada, and has built partnerships with the Canadian Opera Company, The Juilliard School, Young Audiences and Opera Saratoga. Operation Superpower was conceived from the idea that the art form of opera has untapped potential. This potential lies within the seemingly superhuman power and emotional intensity of operatic singing, and it's ability to communicate a long-lasting positive message. Operation Superpower will inspire audiences to believe in themselves and each other, while also helping to build the future of this art form.
While Operation Superpower can be performed in many ways, it was specifically designed to be performed by university level opera singers for grade school audiences. Opera Singers just beginning their careers have a superhuman amount of energy and passion for their art form which can be contagious with young audiences. When channeled through our program, this energy can become a catalyst for inspiration, confidence building and positivity.
Our hope is to collaborate with organizations including, but not limited to:
An Operation Superpower performance features OPERATIC SUPERHEROES performing for students in an unforgettable interactive school assembly!
With our superpowers combined, we can take a stance against BULLYING. Operation Superpower addresses bullying through stories about overcoming difficult social situations, finding inner strength and building friendships.
OPERATION SUPERPOWER strives to inspire all students to discover their SUPERPOWERS and FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS! We have seen students with incredible superpowers ranging from drama to drawing, sports and music, and especially kindness and friendship!
"Operation Superpower is a wonderful combination of good music, youthful expression, popular culture, and important values. Even adult audiences enjoy it and young audiences find it easy to identify and interact with because of its compelling material and performers."
George Stelluto, Music Director of the Peoria Symphony and sponsor of the initial Operation Superpower residency
"Operation Superpower is a perfect example of what can be accomplished when creativity, passion and a genuine level of care are united to heighten awareness of music and humanity! Bravo to the creators who have the courage to dare."
Mary Lou Falcone, Publicist for Major International Institutions
"Risk-takers… a huge success."
Musical America Directory 2012
"At least twice a week we have done something that has extended off of the arts and education program Operation Superpower, all about the students strengths and how they are celebrating their differences... I definitely think Operation Superpower had a huge impact on the children, giving them a jump start on how they would handle themselves in a bullying situation."
Amy Sullivan, Teacher at Hemlock School
A fun operatic vocal warm-up that gives students a chance for their voices to be heard!
A guided meditation where all students imagine using their superpowers to help others.
Courage, Hope, Honesty, Imagination and Friendship – the pillars of becoming a superhero. These values are expressed through a series of call and response phrases.
Students volunteer to share their amazing superpowers!
Everyone in the room joins in this exciting vocal activity that builds to a huge crescendo!
Every student receives an official SUPERHERO STICKER at the end of the show, signifying his or her SUPERHERO graduation!

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
On the brink of winning their fifth NBA title in the Tim Duncan era, the San Antonio Spurs did not only cough up their best shot of taking down the defending champions in Miami, they may have already lost Game 7 too.
Up five with just under 30 seconds left in regulation, the Spurs trotted out Duncan-less on Miami's following possession. After LeBron misfired on his first three-point attempt, San Antonio was a defensive rebound away of just about wrapping up the Finals, with the potential of going up three possessions resulting from some made free-throws with around 20 seconds remaining.
Then, everything fell apart.
Miami corralled the offensive board and the ball found its way into James' hands for a three pointer that the entire building knew was going in. Miami down 2, 20 seconds left.
The next Spurs possession should have been a simple inbound play to one of their better free-throw shooters, preferably Tony Parker. Instead, Duncan was forced to allow Kawhi Leonard to take the two most pressure-filled shots in his young rookie career.
Leonard clanked the first, and sunk the second.
Up three with 20.2 seconds remaining, the Spurs were still in a win-or-draw situation had Miami executed a three pointer.
San Antonio played sound defense on LeBron's three point attempt, leaving the ball–and Miami's season–dangling in the air as one final rebound could shut the curtain on the 2013 NBA season. The Spurs were again, Duncan-less, and one defensive rebound away from shutting the books and sending LeBron James home with a 1-3 record in the Finals.
Chris Bosh pulled down yet another Miami offensive board and smartly found the best three-point shooter in NBA history sitting in the corner, waiting to do what he does best.
Instead of fouling Bosh and turning the last five seconds of regulation into a free-three shooting contest (Miami had no timeouts left), San Antonio stood put and left the fate of Game 6 in Ray Allen's hands. You guessed it, he delivered.
95-95, overtime here we come. The rest was instant history.
If you are the Spurs, how do you comeback physically and mentally to play a Game seven on the exact court you let the Larry O'Brien trophy slip away just 48 hours ago?
The Media headlines were already written. The yellow rope that acts as a safe-haven for the NBA champion at the end of the clinching game was laid out across the sidelines, waiting to be pulled by on-looking security. The NBA Finals MVP ballots were already in. Heat fans were exiting the arena to avoid the devastating moment of sitting in the stands as the opponent celebrates in the city they call home.
Many will say that if there is a team with the capability and discipline that is required to come back from such a draining loss, it would be these Gregg Popovich-led Spurs. It would be first-ballot hall-of-famer and arguably the best power forward to ever play the game, Tim Duncan, and his two companions Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. It would be the team that, if it weren't for a couple of unlucky bounces and missed calls, should be planning their celebration parade in Texas as we speak.
Game 6 was one of the best Finals game this generation of basketball has ever seen. Basketball fans can only wish for the same in Game 7.
San Antonio will have to come back more focused than ever as it will have to conquer a feat no other Finals team has in the new 2-3-2 format- win a Game 7 on the road.
After emptying the tank in a heart-breaking loss, the Spurs will have to do the same again and look to the basketball Gods to reverse their fortune.
