The Basic Purpose of CSS and XHTML!
Most people who use the Internet will know the term HTML, as being the code behind a web page. Let me inform you that this term is now severely outdated. The terms CSS and XHTML now replace it.
Back when web sites were just beginning and designers first established a new market through the Internet, they soon discovered that they could use tables to gain significant control over the presentation of content to users. By carefully laying out tables within tables within tables, they could position quite precisely any design element that could be contained within a table cell. And that encompassed almost everything.
The First desktop publishing-style Web page design tool, NetObjects Fusion, enabled designers to lay out pages with a high degree of precision. It generated complex, table-based HTML, which resulted in Web Pages that were as close as possible to the designer's original vision.
Mistake...We never looked back.
Then, along came Cascading Style Sheets. The governing forces of the Web, through the Would Wide Web Consoretium, better known as the WC3, addressed the problem and proposed that seperating the content of a site (XHMTL) from its form (or appearance - CSS) would be the most logical solution. Thank goodnees! Things haven't been the same since.
With their emergence, CSS and XHTML have become a standard for Web page design. One could argue that they were developed as a reaction to the overuse of excessively complex tables to force precision layout upon a medium (Internet) that was not originally intended for such a purpose. While this is a bit of an oversimplification of the facts, it's hardly an unfair one.
In large many web developers have fallen behind due to the fact that they "can't be bothered" catching up with the new technology. Sitescene has been developing websites in XHTML since its release.
Sitescene has professional Programmers that Hand Code Every Website that we develop from the ground up. Sitescene implemented a policy in 2002 to code all future Web Sites to XHTML 1.0 Strict compliance as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
This is currently the highest possible standard of Web Development and demonstrates our commitment to best practice. Very few other Web Development companies have adopted such a policy and allows all design to be CSS driven, leaving your webpages with nothing but "clean" code ready for your professional content.
This policy enables us to develop Websites that are forward compatible which ensure that our sites will function and display correctly in all manner of Web browsers for years to come. Furthermore, our websites are easily accessible to anyone, on any computer, running just about any browser types.
Sitescene also recommends adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines as set The WC3 Web Accessibility Initiative. Conformance to these Guidelines will help make our Web Development more accessible to users with disabilities and will benefit all users.
Whether your clients and customers are wishing to print a page on your website, or are just viewing your website on a Windows, MAC, or Linux system or even on a PDA, your website will adjust and look fantastic.

It was discussed during the New Moon blog that the Moon spends its time in the zodiac signs during its standard transit. You might read an astrology forecast or horoscopes that tells you the Moon is in Taurus or Scorpio, and this means certain things for the day. When the Moon is in certain zodiac signs, as mentioned previously, this means that the day to day events and experiences will take on the qualities of that sign. It takes the Moon 28 days to travel through one complete cycle of the signs, and as we know there are 12 signs, this means it will spend some time not in any signs at all. Essentially what is happening here is the Moon is in transit, and "between signs" so to speak. When this happens the Moon is said to be void of course. This is also referred to as a lunar cycle of uncertainty, a void lunar cycle, or simply a void Moon period. It simply means from a scientific standpoint that the Moon is not really doing anything right now, or activating any energies or qualities. It is void of any qualities and aspects. This is where the uncertainty comes in. What does this mean for you though?
You can compare this concept to a standard calendar. If you look on one of your calendars for a future month, you might see things that you have written down on certain dates. Doctor′s appointments, PTA meetings, massage, client dinner, and the like. But you probably do not have entries written on every single date, unless you are a Virgo *wink*. Most people don′t however. So generally speaking, there is a sense of uncertainty about those dates. You don′t really know where you are going to be, or when, but you know you will get through things on those days not much different than you would on others. These days are simply more uncertain than others.
The same concept applies to a void of course cycle. Strictly speaking, the Moon has nothing on its agenda. It′s just kind of hanging in the checks and balances until the next aspect comes along. This leaves not just a general sense of uncertainty, but we do feel this uncertainty all the way down on planet Earth. It won′t affect your day if you don′t have a dentist appointment on a certain day, but when the Moon has no "plans", it has no qualities that it can shine down on us.
When the Moon is in Taurus for example, the day will have energy that can manifest miracles in Taurus qualities. These include earthy and grounded things like gardening, and adding luxury and beauty to the home. But if the Moon is void of course the very next day, that energy simply isn′t there. It can make things uncertain for us Earthlings, even if we don′t even realize what is happening in the universe, or care whether the Moon is void or Full. We won′t feel like gardening or making our home more beautiful or anything constructive really because we will just sort of feel like we are in limbo. This happens whether we know the Moon is void or not. Have you ever had one of those days where you just felt like nothing could go right, or you just felt "out of it" but couldn′t put your finger on a why?
Most in the field of astrology are not fans of void cycles for this reason. Who wants to feel this way? When we accept this change, even one into a temporary limbo state, is a necessary part of the movement of space and life, these periods become much easier. Use this time for meditation and introspection and you won′t feel so unglued from the rest of the galaxy. A void of course cycle is simply the universe asking you to slow down your speed, stop, look, and listen to what your higher self is asking you before you move forward.

So let's face it. From heavy books to laptops, when it comes to carrying necessities for class, we generally just grab our not-so-fashionable backpacks and speed out the door. But as of late, backpacks are coming out in many more styles and designs, allowing us Fashionistas/os to show off our great tastes. And while some look to the backpack as a staple in their daily college lives, this Fashionista will have you reconsider another great option for toting around everything you need.
I spotted this Fashionista sporting an adorably casual and chic look, but what really caught my eye was her head-turning bag. Like her, I prefer to hang onto my dearly beloved planner, notebooks and other essentials in a shoulder bag; so naturally, I had to approach her about her fabulous purse.
As I got closer, I found her bag to be even more amazing. With gold hardware details against the black and off-white trim, this Fashionista's tote from Urban Outfitters screamed cool sophistication. Even more so, it was the perfect touch against her gray scale outfit. In a simple striped top, a black vest, gray skinnies and edgy, heeled combat booties, the structured shoulder bag was the icing on this Fashionista's perfect casual look.
Although I'm a big fan of substituting the usual backpack for a handbag at school, I do want to note I'm still also an advocate for the backpack. In the end, it really comes down to personal taste and opinion. Lucky for Fashionistas/os, bags only seem to get more and more stylish. For a bag similar to this Fashionista's, check out the Catherine Street Frasier by kate spade new york. If you're into totes but are looking for something with more movement, Banana Republic's Paige tote is an awesome option.
Lastly, keep in mind that backpacks and bags can really be the finishing touch to an outfit, so don't take them for granted. I personally recommend finding one that's versatile and pairs well with different kinds of looks. It's a great style investment and will keep you looking polished at all times. There are thousands of options out there, so get to finding your faves!

In a highly secret and troubling agreement, federal and local law enforcement have been working hand-in-hand for years with AT&T to sift through the company's records of private telephone calls, raising significant questions about Fourth Amendment violations.
Called the Hemisphere program, the agreement includes placing government-paid AT&T employees within drug investigation units to give police instant access to private telephone records, all based on "administrative subpoenas" issued by the DEA and without court review, The New York Times reports. The calls include all those handled by AT&T—not just AT&T customers—and some go back as far as 26 years, though the program has been in effect about six years. Unlike the NSA data bank, these records include the locations of the callers.
The project comes to light at a time of vigorous public debate over the proper limits on government surveillance and on the relationship between government agencies and communications companies. It offers the most significant look to date at the use of such large-scale data for law enforcement, rather than for national security.
The scale and longevity of the data storage appears to be unmatched by other government programs, including the N.S.A.'s gathering of phone call logs under the Patriot Act. The N.S.A. stores the data for nearly all calls in the United States, including phone numbers and time and duration of calls, for five years.
The Obama administration defended the program as part of a years-long effort to track drug dealers seeking to evade detection by using and discarding cellphones, although the government had also used the system in non-drug cases. Unlike the NSA program, the government does not maintain the databank, but it has complete access to it.
Obama administration officials told the Times the program raises no fresh privacy issues, but the American Civil Liberties Union disagreed after viewing a secret presentation about the system obtained by the Times from a Washington State activist who ferreted out the details through the Freedom of Information Act.
Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the 27-slide PowerPoint presentation, evidently updated this year to train AT&T employees for the program, "certainly raises profound privacy concerns."
"I'd speculate that one reason for the secrecy of the program is that it would be very hard to justify it to the public or the courts," he said.
Mr. Jaffer said that while the database remained in AT&T's possession, "the integration of government agents into the process means there are serious Fourth Amendment concerns."

Roland Mouret Spring 2014
There's some sort of Rihanna effect running through the European collections, like a ripple of RiRi. If it's not Tom Ford or Pucci's Peter Dundas creating clothes that require the pop star's confidence, body, and/or lifestyle, it's designers, including Roland Mouret this morning, using her music in their shows.
Mouret filtered that attitude through his own lens by mixing graphic blocks and stripes of bold colors with sheer fabrics and slim shapes. Dresses had thick black bandage straps and abstract rectangles in yellow, black, and teal hugging the body. There was something of an '80s feel, and perhaps that's also because Mouret was inspired by contemporary artist Daniel Buren's striped stumps installed in the courtyard of the seventeenth-century Palais-Royal in 1986. That contrast of new and, to Americans at least, practically ancient appealed to Mouret, too. Which is good, because when he softened his theme either in color, shape, or fabric, the effect felt more grown-up, for instance in a short sleeve V-neck dress with touches of indigo and hot pink and a shape that was far from voluminous but still allowed room to breathe.
Although Mouret is perhaps best known for a sexy, figure-hugging silhouette, this season the easier pieces actually felt more him. They were very pretty, less aggressive in color and shape, and overall easier to wear. Which may not be Rihanna's style, but it may be more realistic.

Regular season champ Bitonti's upset
It will be a "Play it again, Sam" kind of a night Monday when the J. Budd Grebb Memorial Summer Basketball League's girls' division kicks off its first playoffs.
That's because the matchups for Monday will be the same as Wednesday's regular season finales.
Regular season champion Bitonti's Barristers (4-2) will take on fourth-place Lagerheads (2-4) at 7:30 p.m., while slumping Fredericktown Butcher Shop (3-3) battles Tommy Thomas State Farm (3-3) at 8:30 p.m.
The winners will play for the first girls' division championship on Wednesday.
In Wednesday's games, Lagerheads upset Bitonti's, 47-44, and Tommy Thomas routed the Butcher Shop, 49-27.
In the opener, Tommy Thomas rolled out to a commanding 27-6 lead by starting and ending the half in impressive fashion.
The winners jumped to a 10-0 lead and then closed the half on a dominating 21-2 run. Reilly Skerbetz scored 10 of her 12 points in the first half while Mia Woytovich had seven of her team-high 14 points.
Fredericktown, playing short-handed for the second consecutive game without top players Kaitlyn Slagus and Bria Rathway, was no match as it lost for the third time in the last four games.
Brittany Stawovy led the Butcher Shop with 15 points and 13 rebounds.
Fredericktown Butcher Shop and Tommy Thomas State Farm will meet in the second game of Monday's playoff doubleheader at Mechanic Street Playground in California.
Lagerheads 47, Bitonti's Barristers 44
In the nightcap, Lagerheads pulled off the upset in impressive fashion, going on a 7-0 run to close the first half with a 26-21 lead.
The winners never trailed in the second half.
Maris Seto, a sophomore-to-be at Brownsville, paced a balanced Lagerheads attack with 14 points, 13 rebounds and seven steals.
She was the only player for the winners to hit double figures, but seven of the eight Lagerheads players who got in the game cracked the scoring column.
Bitonti's got big games from Belle Vernon Area's Meaghan Murphy and Kaitlin Thomas. Murphy had a game-high 20 points and 17 rebounds, while Thomas added 18 points.

Eight years! That's how much time has passed since Star Fox 64 made us even bigger fox fans than the Countryside Alliance.
Now the Cornerian government has once again summoned the Star Fox armada to rescue the Lylat System from the assimilating alien aparoids. Cue the usual mix of galactic flying, blasting and... running?
You see, Nintendo have entrusted Namco to take care of one of their crown jewels, and the new boys have certainly spiced things up a bit.
Only a few of the levels now remain pure old-school Arwing missions. Most are freeform, so Fox will be alternating between blasting on foot, driving a Landmaster tank and piloting his trusty Arwing.
It's a brave and exciting idea, but why risk alienating the existing fan base when you've got a tried-and-tested formula?
The intense and exhilarating Arwing sections symbolise everything that makes Star Fox fans howl with delight, and you'll soon be dog (fox?) fighting and barrel rolling with the best of them.
Being reunited with your old combat buddies (yes, even Slippy) feels all warm and cosy. Once you've strung some outrageous combos together it almost feels as if McCloud and co. have never been away.
On foot, Fox is a wily old... er... fox - he's speedy and loaded with all sorts of armoury. Unfortunately, the drawn-out flinching animation whenever he takes a hit leads to some frustrating deaths, while the 'rolling when he's meant to be strafing' issue is also a glaring oversight.
Perhaps Namco should simply have left this kind of malarkey to Rare's superior Star Fox Adventures and concentrated upon epic space battles instead?
It gets worse, because the really bad part begins as soon as you jump into a Landmaster tank. Piloting this piece of scrap is as close to gaming hell as it's possible to conceive. It can't jump, it can't steer - it is, in short, rubbish.
We're also less than impressed with the aerial battle gauge. As soon as this baby fills up (which it does with monotonous regularity) Fox has to drop whatever he's doing, leap into the nearest Arwing and take to the skies to help out his less than useless wingmen.
Even supposed 'ace' Falco is a big blubbering baby nowadays. This kind of multi-tasking is horrid, so why make a game out of it?
Another letdown is that Assault will take you a meagre four hours to beat on silver difficulty. Star Fox games have always been short and sweet, but 10 short linear levels is a joke, even allowing for multi-player and unlockables.
Assault is an undeniably gorgeous game to look at, though. The cartoony aesthetic works perfectly, distant nebulas astound the eyes, ship boosters glow with a neon haze and there's no cooler ship in the galaxy than Fox's Arwing.
Even so, compared to Star Fox Adventures (complete with bristling fur) and - more recently - Resi 4, Gamecube is capable of so much more. Thankfully, Assault's music rocks, with some hummable remixes of classic Star Fox melodies and meaty blasting effects.
In these lean times Gamecube desperately needs key games to deliver. Namco obviously wanted to stamp their own mark on the series, but they've blundered big time.
Would it have been a better decision to simply remake Star Fox 64? Fox knows, but Namco - and Nintendo - can, and should, do better than this.
As it is, this is one fantastic fox that's sadly in danger of becoming an endangered species...
Star Fox Assault is out for Gamecube on 29 April

New Delhi, June 29 (ANI): June 12, 1975, was like any other summer day in Delhi – hot, uncomfortable with the usual power load shedding. Politics of Delhi too was at its usual cloak and dagger – this ancient city right from its origins as Indraprastha has been home to scheming politicians.
Then came a sudden jolt on this hot and uncomfortable day. Suddenly the teleprinters in the newsrooms were breaking news from distant Allahabad that the election of Mrs. Indira Gandhi had been set aside by the court in an election petition.
A shell-shocked Congress went into dead silence while all field journalists rushed towards the Prime Minister's residence. It now was truly the hottest day of the year!
The world at large waited for India's Prime Minister to resign. Leaders of Opposition led by Jayaprakash Narayan stepped up their campaign to seek her to quit the office. Surrounded as she was by a coterie of corrupt self seekers and a party run by the likes of Dev Kant Barooah, they mounted daily rallies of support at the roundabout outside her house. She would emerge from her home for a few minutes to respond to the slogan shouting "rent a crowd", and attack the forces that were bent upon 'destabilising India'. No mention of the court order.
Behind the scenes, the coterie surrounding her made sure she did not quit. They worked on a strategy to foil the court's order while waiting for the verdict on her appeal to the Supreme Court. Come June 24, the Supreme Court did not exonerate her, granting only a limited respite that did not permit her to vote in the Parliament. The Allahabad judgement had not been rejected.
The die was now cast. June 25 – a huge rally at Delhi's Ram Lila grounds, addressed by leaders led by Jayaprakash Narayan, demanded her resignation and called for the launching of a mass agitation to dethrone her.
That very evening, Mrs. Indira Gandhi responded by getting President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, who had earlier flown back from his Malaysian tour, to sign a proclamation imposing internal state of emergency. The orders of the courts were dumped into a dustbin. A coup had been staged using the constitutional provisions.
Censorship on the media was imposed with immediate effect. Harry D'Penha, the recently-retired Principal Information Officer of the Government, who had hardly reached Bombay, was recalled to be the Chief Censor Officer. Meanwhile, that evening her Information Adviser Sharada Prasad arrived at the Press Information Bureau to oversee the launch of censorship. That evening saw the power supply to most newspapers cut off.
At the PIB, correspondents were struggling to get their stories cleared. I approached Sharada Prasad and asked for clearance to send my TV report to Visnews.
His immediate response was that it cannot be done. Protesting against this, I asked if the Government did not have the facilities to censor TV film reports, it had no right to impose such censorship and that TV stories be cleared on the basis of dope sheet showing what the filmed report carried. There was no video those days. Fearing the huge negative impact that an outright ban on TV film reports would have abroad, Sharada Prasad conceded to clear the TV film reports based on the detailed dope sheets.
The days that followed saw a complete change of scene at the Press Information Bureau. The Chief Censor Officer had arrived. The powers of the Principal Information Officer were gone. His staff and many of the information officers began to harass the reporters and news cameramen. They behaved as petty corrupt police constables on the streets. The PIB was now more of a torture centre than the information office of the Government of India.
Delhi was now a city taken over by a coterie that was loyal to Sanjay Gandhi, who seemed hell bent on "teaching a lesson" to the 'press wallahs'. I was at the time president of the recently developed Journalists Colony of Gulmohar Park, home to many working journalists and editors of the city. For three days running, a home was found ransacked in the colony, with no clues as to who did it. It was clear that intelligence agencies were used for this.
One evening, as I sat down for dinner, I got a phone call from a friend in the Income Tax Department. "Prem, we will be visiting you tomorrow." I responded, "My dear fellow, I am going to see you after such a long time, where have you been, come over and bring your wife along." He said, "Why don't you understand – I am saying WE are coming." I now understood from his tone, and then this good friend – God bless his soul – said "You are the president of Gulmohar Park, so you better take care of your flock."
I called as many people as I could, including the office bearers of the welfare association, and then briefed them about this call and alerted them to be ready for a full fledged raid by the tax and intelligence 'goons' when the day broke.
Sanjay Gandhi could never work out as to how the journalists had developed Gulmohar Park. The next day, a large number of taxation raid parties returned frustrated. They could not find any evidence against any journalist. Some of the members of the raiding parties were apologetic about what they were being called upon to do without any evidence. "What we are doing is illegal," confessed one official to me.
At the Prime Minister's residence, there were strange morning durbars. Day after day, groups of people from different strata of society would be marched in to swear allegiance to the leader and to welcome the emergency.
One day, I could not believe my eyes when I saw a motley group of some eleven or twelve editors of petty newspapers, but including one well known name, who came to welcome the emergency. Indira Gandhi looked at them in disbelief and sarcastically left them sitting dumbfounded. She did not even say 'thank you' to the worthies.
Life became difficult as each day progressed. It was now impossible to convey to the world as to what was happening in India. I kept making efforts to see how best I could articulate the 'dope sheet' to get my stories out. Many made their way out first by getting the censor stamp and then the customs et al. It was a cat and mouse game.
Then one day, I got a call from my old friend Harry D'Penha, now the Chief Censor, asking me over for lunch. I guessed something was amiss. As we sat down at Hotel Janpath's restaurant, I asked Harry how he could think of me amidst his busy 'nasty' schedule. "I have no problem with you Prem, but I cannot protect you any further from all those complaints against you: that you are sending items abroad without being cleared by censor. Why are you doing that?"
"But all my stories are cleared by your boys," I explained. "Yes, I am aware, but I will appreciate if you can disappear from Delhi for some time". He uttered these words a bit too firmly, though very politely.
For me, the choice was now clear – jail or exile. There was hardly any further chat. The lunch over, both of us bid good bye quietly and moved our separate ways.
A small tea stall had suddenly emerged on the road opposite my house. Harry D'Penha had given me maximum of three days to leave Delhi. Coming home, I spoke to my wife Daya. Our telephone line was dead. The telex line too was not working now. The Reuters line was also cut. There was no way that I could quickly get in touch with my editors at Visnews. We left Delhi for London two days later.
The exile had begun in London But with my presence amidst them, almost every newsroom in the UK and the US became aware of what was happening to journalists in India. I must acknowledge the great support and friendship that I received from my editors at Visnews in London and from my friends at the BBC, ITN and NBC, among others.
Refusing to surrender and remain abroad for ever, I kept in mind D'Penha's words to me: "Disappear from Delhi for some time".
Three months later, to the horror of my editors in London, I announced my decision to return to Delhi. I firmly believed that I could not afford to close the only window that I had managed to keep open for the world to see what was going on in India. Hoping that the black leg journalists, who had worked against me, would have by now forgotten me, I returned to Delhi in November. The country was then reeling under the atrocities and horrors of emergency. I leave that story for another day.
The emergency was the most challenging period of my career as a working journalist. It was the darkest period for the nascent Indian democracy. Is the nation protected from such an event happening again? All I can say at the moment is that Indian democracy somehow survived the wounds inflicted on it in 1975. Let those dark days remain an ugly nightmare that we should not forget. (ANI)

Marketing Agency Helps Spread Hope
Over the past several years, mRELEVANCE has spread hope by working with client Keystone Custom Homes. The president of this renowned Central Pennsylvania home building company, Jeff Rutt, has started two nonprofit organizations that we are proud to support. We hope that by sharing a little information on these worthwhile causes, you will consider joining us to support them. Both HOPE International and Homes for Hope are working to end poverty across the world.
HOPE International was started in 1997 after Jeff Rutt traveled to the Ukraine multiple times with his church to transport food, clothing and medical supplies. During those trips, he realized that the people needed a hand up, not handouts. HOPE International addresses the employment gap faced by the world's poor through microfinance, a system of providing small loans and savings services to entrepreneurs in developing countries. Those entrepreneurs then repay their loans, which are issued to new borrowers to help support more livelihoods and families. Now, HOPE International reaches over 400,000 people in 16 countries in Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia.
Established in 1998, Homes for Hope works with hundreds of builders, subcontractors, suppliers and consultants to build homes across the country. These "homes for hope" generate revenue to help support HOPE International. Since starting, the organization has built 70 homes, raised millions in revenue and provided tens of thousands of loans issued by HOPE International, enabling families to break out of poverty. You don't even need to build an entire house to contribute to this cause! Homes for Hope has created cleaver ways for builders and manufacturers to participate by simply donating a portion of a house. Contact them for more information on how you can get involved.
mRELEVANCE is proud to contribute to these organizations through donations and event sponsorships. HOPE International and Homes for Hope need your help too! To get involved and to learn more about these great organizations, visit www.hopeinternational.com and www.homes4hope.org.

du-Feu, T.A. and Abiodun, J. (1999) Predictions of fish yields and the status of the Kainji Lake fishery, 1998.

Length frequency data was collected for the 6 main species from the Kainji Lake fishery for up to 16 months. Growth parameters were estimated and used for virtual - population and length based cohort analysis. The results from cohort analysis suggest that before the ban on beach seines the maximum economic yield from the fishery was overshot by 70%. Yield per recruit analysis showed that the fish are caught far below their optimum size. Fishing gears and the timing responsible for this early mortality have been identified. After the eradication of seines from the lake a 10% increase in total catch revenue can be expected from the fishery. This is equivalent to an increase in income of Naira 18,300 per annum for each fishing entrepreneur using other methods. A scenario for the regulation of cast net mesh size together with the ban of beach seines has been presented. A further increase of Naira 142 million (N25,500 per entrepreneur) can be anticipated if this is implemented by the Kainji Lake Fisheries Management and Conservation Unit. It is expected that the annual increase in fishing effort presently experienced will cause future yields to decline. The rate of the decline has been reduced by the eradication of the beach seine fishery and will further fall if the minimum mesh size for cast nets is implemented. A recommendation is made to the Kainji Lake Fisheries Management and Conservation Unit to first consolidate the beach seine ban and then to implement a ban of undersized cast nets.

Boom! Boom boom, cha! (v3.0)
October 21, 2010
The Phil Spector-penned / Ronettes-performed "Be My Baby" intro is probably the most iconic drum beat in pop music history and we here at Music For Kids Who Can't Read Good can't get enough of that classic "Boom! Boom boom, cha!". This spring I posted two mixes with about 40 songs worth of "Be My Baby" drum beats and since then I've been hearing it everywhere (twee-poppers and lo-fi bands like Waaves and Best Coast seem to have a particular affinity for the beat).
For version 3.0 of this mix, I've compiled 20 more songs with "Be My Baby"-inspired drum beats. Some of the tracks here use different variations of the beat like the MGMT, Handsome Furs, and Lucksmiths contributions which feature the "boom, boom boom, cha!" in the middle of the song instead of the intro. I have to thank commenters on the last mix for contributing some of the songs that made it here. Again, if there's any more "Be My Baby" drum beats out there, let me know in the comments. Enjoy!

[quote:Michael Lee Hill:MV8xMDA0NzI1XzE1ODMzODIxXzcyQTIyNzU3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 317023] You have no positive message that I can discern. It really is all about you. Strange. [/quote] Here is my positive message. It`s not to hard to figure out we are living in special times, and our world and world views are changing at an unprecedented rate. The theory is that we are in preparation for a shift in consciousness. This Transition or shift process is called Ascension which can be thought of as the evolution of consciousness. This event is tied to the Earth`s astronomical cycles and this is why tracking the Earth`s "Processional Cycle" was so important to previous civilizations on Earth. At the end period of the Earth`s 27,000 year "Processional Cycle," which ends in 2012, the Earth`s magnetic field declines. As Earth`s magnetic field declines and the Earth`s resonant base frequency increases, humanity begins to experience it`s own mental energy with less and less of a time lag. Our collective and individual realities are created from our own thoughts and the Earth`s magnetic field acts sort of like training wheels for our consciousness. The stronger the Earth`s magnetic field, the more of a time lag there is between thought and the manifestation of thought. During the shift, ALL consciousness moves up a rung on the ladder of consciousness, this cycle usually ends in massive Earth changes, very unusual weather patterns, earthquakes, floods leading up to what scientists are calling a Pole Shift where Earth's crust actually slips and the poles relocate to the equator. This is what has happened the last 5 times but I am told this will not happen this time! But there will be many Earth changes as the planet gets into the best position for it`s ascension. Yes, the Earth itself is ascending also. Our physical 3rd dimensional reality can be thought of as a school of sorts, for the soul to learn to use mental energy in a responsible way. Your beliefs (belief = thoughts, feelings, & emotions) create your reality. In higher realms of consciousness there is no time lag between the thought and the experience of that thought, so you can understand why it is so important to get a grip on your mental processes. If you harbor any negativity or fear, you will just create those situations endlessly, but there are always guides to help you out of your self-created prison. Nobody is ever left behind. All get it eventually, but in their own way and their own time. I believe our current civilization is on the right path. Sure, things look pretty ugly out there, but there are a lot of different level souls manifested here and some still harbor much fear. They will soon get a crash course on love. Humans are really only capable of two pure emotions, Love & Fear, and we are able to experience both to whatever level we choose. Be mindful of where you place your thoughts, because there is a direct correlation between what you think and what you experience as your normal everyday physical reality & personal life, they are one in the same. We do not observe reality, we are interacting with it. FrozenThought could be thought of as a spiritual concept. The theory is that particles exist whose vibrations are faster than OUR speed of light. These particles when slowed to OUR speed of light solidify into what we perceive as physical matter. much in the same way water goes through Phase changes from a gas into a Liquid, then into a Solid. The slowing down of this faster-than-light light particle is controlled by our own consciousness. Whatever you concentrate on, or focus on, determines the reality you perceive. Therefore, the universe can be literally thought of as your own thought, frozen into physical matter, pure divine energy transformed into physical reality. A universe faithfully and lovingly mirroring back to you whatever your own thoughts and beliefs are about it, regardless of which polarity your current beliefs fall into, Fear or Love. This explians why Many peoples Prayers are not Answered, They Pray "Concentrate" on the Wrong thing, If you sent out the message to the Universe "I need Money", What you get is the expeirence of "Wanting Money" If you Pray for Patience, All you will get is life situation after life situalion that tries your Patience. The only "Real" Prayer in GOD"S eyes is "GRADITUDE" A Giving of THANKS. A THANKSGIVING. Put a Prayer of GRATITUDE and THANKSGIVING for the things you have been blessed with in your life right NOW, Put that out to the Universe and see what manifests in your life in the near FUTURE. This truth has been there all along, in plain view. It`s what all the great spiritual leaders, mystics, and sages down through the ages have been telling us. Consciousness creates reality. It`s what quantum physics tells us. It`s what channeled ET & what higher consciousness material such as "The Seth Material" tells us, It's what recent films such as "What The Bleep" and "The Secret" tells us,hell, it`s what Yoda said! It would then be of great benefit & value to actually think about what you are thinking about. Learn to change your thought, learn to change your reality. Learn to become aware of what you are thinking. Then always choose the highest thought, anything else just leads back into the illusion. It is the path out of fear & darkness. I have heard it said that the reason the Mayans vanished in our recent past is because they knew mankind was entering into a Dark age so they decided to vacate during this time period. What is a Dark Age, what did the Mayans know that we don't? I believe a dark age is a time period when all of the Fear&Doubt had to be brought to the surface of humanity so it could be cleansed and healed BEFORE 2012. All of mankinds nightmares would come true so they would have the chance to be healed by choosing LOVE over FEAR. Emotions have energy, an Electro Magnetic reality and are broadcast out into the universe just like you were a Radio station broadcasting a signal. Energy can't be created or destroyed, It can only be transmuted into a higher or lower state of itself. So how do you Transmute a negitive thought form? By living it. This was done by help from "higher powers" in [b][i]service [/i][/b]to humanity. Imagine them as Agents in the Matrix Movie... :agent::agent::agent: When these beings detect "Fear" in the mass consciousness, they enter the Matrix to make sure you experience your own fear to whatever depth you will allow it. Can you imagine a worse Job in all of Creation? For a being of pure Light & Love to have to make sure every Nightmare and darkness within humanities deepest hidden area's were brought forth into your reality so they could be healed?? This most recent Dark Age time frame has now ended and we are entering into a Golden Age of Love and Light from the Creator. Imagagine that, No more having your Fears enhanced by cosmic forces? Now these same being can enter the Matrix and create Event strings that manifest love in everybodies realities instead of Fear. We are here to become conscious co-creaters with All That Is. Once you change one thought and experience first-hand that your reality does actually change, there is no going back. And that is a truth nobody can ever take from you. A truth that comes from inside, no books, or religions needed. Peace, Michael Lee Hill [/quote]

Desription and mission of the of Maitreya by Benjamin Creme

The Water of Life
"I come that men may have life and that life more abundantly."
As the dispenser of the 'Water of Life of Aquarius',
Maitreya will perform one of his major tasks in the new time ahead. As he so eloquently puts it in Message No. 42:
"Many times have you heard me say that my coming means change.
Specifically, the greatest change will be in the hearts and minds of men, for my return among you is a sign that men are ready to receive new life.
That new life for men do I bring in abundance.
On all the planes this life will flow, reaching the hearts and souls and bodies of men, bringing them nearer to the source of life itself.
My task will be to
channel those waters of life through you. I am the water carrier. I am the vessel of truth.
That truth shall I reveal to you and lift you into your true nature.
I am the river.
Through me flows the new stream of God-given life, and this shall I bestow on you.
Thus shall we together walk through my garden, smell the perfume of my flowers, and know the joy of closeness to God.
My friends, these things are not dreams. All of this will be yours. My mission will vouchsafe this to you."
His is the task to transmit these waters of life
: as physical life, nourishing the very cells of our bodies; as a new livingness — love and light within our hearts; and as life more abundantly — love, light and power within and above the head of the disciple of the Christ, enabling him to cooperate more fully with the Plan issuing from Shamballa, the 'Centre where the Will of God is known.[/i
The Anunnaki's Enki's description from Zacharia Sitchin
link to sitchin.com
Enki, the great chief scientist of the Anunnaki, was the leader of the first team of Anunnaki to come to Earth. His name, EN.KI, meant "Lord of Earth" in Sumerian. But that title was granted to him only later, after the arrival of his half-brother Enlil (EN.LIL = "Lord of the Command").
The original Epithet-name of Enki was E.A., commonly taken to mean "He whose home is water."
Enki was depicted by the Sumerians as a seated deity outpouring streams of water
(see PIC).
Enki was the prototype of the
Water Bearer Aquarius
and his zodiacal constellation
(see PIC).
Maitreya has another name he was known by "Enki". I just found this out by the way.
Info backing this up...
This is a work in progress, an outline, and intends only to examine spiritual connections. According to the Spiritual Science or Anthroposophy of Rudolf Steiner, reincarnation is by no means simplistic or easy to understand. It is not only a matter of considering the reincarnation of the Ego or Individuality; two of the other spiritual bodies, the etheric and astral bodies, can have their own incarnational lines or histories, separate from one another as well as from the Individuality. In approaching the questions of the identity of Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the belief that a given incarnation is that of Maitreya Bodhisattva, several factors are essential to understand: the Bodhisattva is a collective Being of 12 Individualities, called the Holy Spirit in Christianity. It may be that the Being known as Manes or Manu/Mani, the "Paraclete," is the overseer of the twelve; he is a high Messenger of Christ. When an incarnation of Mani (such as Lao Tzu) is noted below, it is probably best to consider this as something other than a normal incarnation, and this would also be a wise and cautious guideline in considering incarnations of all of the Bodhisattvas. The Individualities can 1.) incarnate 2.) partly incarnate by living with or within a given personality; also referred to as "incorporation." 3.) incarnate temporarily 4.) be reflected in or manifest in a personality or disciple. References are from "The Principle of Spiritual Economy, In Connection with Questions of Reincarnation," Eleven Lectures by Rudolf Steiner, Jan to May, 1909, and "The East in Light of the West," Lecture IX, 1909.
Someone considered to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva may also have been a disciple of this Bodhisattva, with many qualities and similarities spiritually imparted to his own Ego, or "assimilated" by his Ego. Also extremely important is the fact that the Ego, or Individuality, did not emerge until about the time of the Greco-Roman era. It was Christ who brought the Ego, or "I am." So it should not be stated simply that Rudolf Steiner (RS) is literally the reincarnation of an historic figure prior to the Greco-Roman time, such as, for example, Abraham (see below). This outline also intends to impartially examine what are believed to be incarnations or manifestations of Maitreya Buddha by eastern peoples, from religious, traditional and folk sources.
According to secondary or private sources only, and never given publicly or published by RS, or said about himself, are the following lives, said to have been given to Ita Wegman by RS near the end of his life. See source: M. Kirchner-Bockholt. 1.) Enkidu or Eabani, from the Gilgamesh Epic 2.) Cratylus or a Priest at the Temple of Ephesus 3.) Aristotle 4.) Schionatulander 5.) Thomas Aquinas. These would constitute a series of western lives in relation to the past lives of Ita Wegman (believed to have been the woman "Mysa" in a life with Cratylus, and Alexander), and include connections also with Plato. These would be lives of critical importance in understanding RS and his western mission. It is the belief of the author that there were more lives than these, including incarnations or incorporations in the opposite sex, and in all of the cultural epochs noted below. He stated in the lectures "Occult History, 1910," that Eabani, a young soul, had had "few lives, very few" prior to the life of Eabani, and that Eabani's physical form indicated the human form of primeval times.
A careful study of Eabani in the Gilgamesh Epic reveals a similarity to the eastern understanding of the Maitreya Bodhisattva - for example, Nagarjuna, regarding Gilgamesh's retrieval of a magical plant from beneath the sea. Also, there are similarities between the two in their relationship with the animal kingdom. An in-depth study of the Epic, from this and other points of view, is now available online. See The Epic of Gilgamesh.
The Gilgamesh Epic dates to the Egypto-Chaldean-Babylonian cultural epoch, 3rd millennium BC. For the sake of reference and clarity, the "Fifth Great Post-Atlantean Epoch," is divided into 7 smaller cultural epochs, according to Spiritual Science: the Indian, Persian, Egypto-Chaldean-Babylonian, Greco-Roman, the Fifth (which is our time), and in the future, the Sixth or Philadelphian epoch, and the seventh or Anglo-American epoch. See: "Christianity as Mystical Fact," one of the "basic books" of RS.
Just to emphasize again, the Ego or Individuality did not come into the evolution of humanity until about the Greco-Roman cultural epoch.
The "I am" was brought by the Christ. Therefore, prior to this time we cannot speak of the reincarnation of individualities in the same sense as during the Greco-Roman times or during our own time. While Enkidu - a name which refers to Enki or Ea
, connected with Mercury - like Gilgamesh, did exist historically, he is also a portrayal in a poetic and spiritual epic, a character experiencing the fall of humanity and death, related to what would become the mission of RS in the future as instrument for the Holy Spirit. The Gilgamesh Epic was surely passed down orally, with many variations, at least in minor details, from the time of the Sumerian civilization, approximately 2750 - 2500 BC, to the time of the Akkadian cuneiform writing on the clay tablets, 668 - 627 BC, and the existing tablets are but fragments, with much content missing.
Some believe that Abraham, the Old Testament Patriarch, was an incarnation of RS. However, this stretches even the most flexible imagination to its breaking point after a careful study of Eabani and what RS reveals about him, as well as the historical period of the civilization of Uruk (Biblical Erech). The only possible connection, on surface, seems to be that Abraham was born in the Chaldean city of Ur. The deeper one goes into these studies, the less likely, if not impossible, seems a reincarnational connection between Eabani-Cratylus, Abraham and Aristotle. RS carefully describes, in "Occult History" and "World History," the development of this spiritual Being from Eabani to Aristotle, through the initiations of Cratylus in the Mystery schools, including the Mysteries of Ephesus. Abram means "Exalted Father," or "High Father" from the Aramaic Aba Rama. The Father is also called the Pitris or Elder. The twelve Disciples of Christ were Elders. See "Apocalyptic Writings," 1904.
"Moses was the Folk-Soul of the race of the ancient Hebrews. Elijah is already pointing to the individual human soul." RS, "On the Meaning of Life," 1912.
Mithras and Mithraism may have begun at the time of the transition from the Indian to the Persian cultural epoch, but is believed to correlate most strongly with the beginning of the Age of Aries. The Mithraic Temples, called the Mithraeum, were located in subterranean caves, some as late as the 1st to the 5th Century AD. Paintings on the cave walls show Mithras slaying the bull. Mithras appears similar to the later Christian Saint George, the bull replaced by the dragon. Maitreya Bodhisattva is connected with Mithraism in eastern tradition. The subterranean dwellings are related to the underworld. Soldiers were the most plentiful followers in these observances. Perhaps their participation in later times related to the assistance provided their souls for the upcoming shift in earthly evolution from Mars (war) to Mercury (healing) through the Mystery of Golgotha, the death of Christ on the cross during the Greco-Roman cultural epoch.
Gautama Buddha, 563 - 483 BC.
Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher and poet, approx. 500 BC, is considered to be an "incarnation" of Mani.
Cratylus is believed to have lived in the early 5th century BC. He was a disciple of Heraclitus (c. 475 BC) and was known to Plato (c. 428 BC - 347 BC), who wrote of him in his dialogue titled "Cratylus."

I have been very clear at GLP that I have recently went through the ascension process and that I made contact with my higher self and that self was somehow tied to "ENKI"
Here is proof, I have never hid any of this and have shared my whole story here at GLP
Thread: A Detailed Essay Regarding My First Encounter With The Anunnaki
It was said that Maitreya/Enki was recently interviewed on an American major network and it was seen by millions even though the "Maitreya/Enki" identity was not revealed.
Well, I was just featured on the History Channels "Ufo Hunters" episode "Alien Contact" where I was "interviewed" & it is revealed on that show that medical & Bloodwork where tested on me by a Harvard Professor and that I do not have "Normal" Human blood.
Here is that episode...
For those who wish to see it...
Please keep in mind, I have never heard the name or any of this stuff regarding Maitreya, I learned that here at GLP. :-)
But when I began to look into it, I was like Hey......This is sounding a little like my own story?
NOW I am Officially FREAKED OUT
as I said, I have learned to pay close attention to syncronicity, it is divine communication
I just went by my refrigerator and glanced at a postcard I was given at a New Age Health fair I attended, The post card features the most beautiful artwork of the globe with all these children holding hands around the Earth.
I will scan it into my computer here ASAp and upload it so you can see.
It was very beautiful so I just grabbed a magnet and stuck it onto my fridge and there it has been since spring 2009.
I walked by it just now and it just really caught my eye so i stopped and stared at.
I wanted a closer look so I took it down for the first time since I stuck it on there.
On the back of the postcard, there is a qoute...
"Save my little ones. Feed your brothers. Remember that mankind is one, children of the one father. Make over, in trust, the goods of the Earth to all who are need. Do this now and save the world." - Teacher

link to share-international.org
youre so full of it! never heard of share international hey... All the matraya threads u have read haha.. oh and by the way im the easter bunny
Not actually, I remember now at that new age fair last year, There were two people working this strange booth, They both were dressed in white robes and one of them walked up and handed me this postcard and said this is for you.
I put it on my frig and have never even taken back down until tonight.
I never went to Share International website
I knew nothing about any Maitreya
then recently I began seeing all of these Maitreya threads, about a week ago I decided to look into whoever this Maitreya is/was, And something just hit me wierd, there were a lot of common events and syncronicities that I thought it was very strange so I started this thread.
During looking into Maitreya recently, I am sure I went to the share international site because I remember the look of it. I didn't really pay any attention to the name of the site though.
And I did not put 2 & 2 together that this beautiful post card I had stuck on my frig had anything to do with Maitreya
Even when I took the card off my fridge and found the website address, it never occured to me it had anything to do with Maitreya, the name Maitreya is nowhere on the postcard whatsoever.
Now I realize you can think I am lying, I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
There is something happening huge right now.

LAKE ERIE UFO EXPLAINED - Prepare ye the way of Maitreya:
Posted by Frank Lewis on Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 10:17 AM

link to www.clevescene.com
I heard the story on MSNBC about the unusual "UFO" that has been appearing regularly over Lake Erie for the past 10 days. I do not know exactly what that particular "UFO" actually is. However, it "may" be the "star" that is heralding Maitreya's Presence among us.
Maitreya holds the position known throughout the world as the Christ, Imam Mahdi, Krishna, Bodhisattva, the Messiah, and the Buddha, depending on a person's particular religion. He descended from His Himalayan retreat in 1977 and entered London, England where He has been living as a seemingly ordinary man.
Since January of this year He has been interviewed on numerous television programs in the US but not as the Christ. He is introduced as an ordinary man but with insights into the problems that confront the world. More interviews will follow and eventually He will be invited to address the world: the Day of Declaration. He will announce Who indeed He is and will show us the right way toward a glorious future based on sharing and cooperation, where division, competition, war and greed are left far behind.
In December of 2008 "Share International" magazine sent a press release to the world's media announcing that what appears to be a "star" will be seen around the world both night and day. This "star" heralds Maitreya's Presence among us and is akin to the Star of Bethlehem in biblical days. A month later, in January of 2009, such an unusual "star" began being noticed around the world. Dozens of videos have now been uploaded to YouTube, Internet blogs have appeared asking what it may be, and even a few newspapers have dared mention the unusual object being noticed over their towns.
The "star" is actually 1 of 4 very large spaceships that originate from the planets in our solar system. All of our sister planets are inhabited on what are called the ethereal planes: very fine planes that underlie the dense physical. The UFO crews are our Space Brothers and work tirelessly to clean our atmosphere of the toxic pollutants we dump into it. The most dangerous of these pollutants are levels of radiation that seep from nuclear reactors, unrecognized by our primitive scientific equipment, and is largely responsible for such diseases as Alzheimer's.

Ya, The Powers That Be sure did try to shut this Lake Erie UFO stories down time after time but the fact is the actual ufo activity is growing and growing and
hundreds of people are seeing and filming it.
All the major media is here and they have been filming it.
Early May you will see this story all over the news.
So Yes, They did try and discredit me a few years ago but we are well beyond that now and you can't keep a good man down.
I have never given up trying to help humanity no matter what they said because i knew the TRUTH.
I will be vindicated now because this story is going worldwide,
It is disclosure.
And out of those "hundreds" we have you the one chosen by Enki to be his messenger. er wait....you're maitreya.
and you need vindication because you don't care what anyone thinks about you.

The Aquanemix Sprayer connects to a standard hose and provides a constant dilution of 2%.
Ideal for easy application of Nemaslug, see Sowing and Usage tab for application instructions.
These instructions only apply to Nemaslug 40m2 and 100m2 in the Nemasys Home and Garden range.
• Wash the Aquanemix through with water to ensure it is clean.
• Add half the contents of the 40m2 pack or a quarter of the 100m2 pack to the bowl of the Aquanemix. Then fill the bowl with water and stir to mix thoroughly. Attach the hose.
• Apply evenly to the area to be treated using a side-to-side motion to keep the nematodes well mixed. This should take about 5 minutes, depending upon water pressure.
• Repeat these steps on the other areas of ground to be treated using the remaining portions of the Nemaslug pack
• Treat the same area again for a further 10 minutes (or 16 minutes for lawn applications) to make sure they are adequately watered in. Applications to lawns require more water to ensure the nematodes are washed through the grass thatch.
• This method provides a simple and effective application, however, it is important to follow the instructions exactly to ensure the nematodes reach the pests.

Overcompensation: (psychiatry) an attempt to overcome a real or imagined defect or unwanted trait by overly exaggerating its opposite.
Today brings a prime example of the phenomenon in the person of Brian Williams, overcompensating for his image as a pampered straight arrow by joking about having a vast staff of servants, looking forward to the prospect of watching some nude male swimming, and, yes, doing meth to get going in the morning.
The Nightly News host was a phone guest on Willie Geist's new Way Too Early show on MSNBC, which airs from 5:30-6 AM as a lead-in to Morning Joe. Asked by Geist to describe his morning routine, Williams went off on a self-deprecating riff that included these gems:
- "Normally, some of the people on our valet staff, some people from the usher's office, mostly from the part of the residence that's on the public tour, not where the First Lady and I live and sleep, are in and out all night long preparing the body for the workday."
- "[German swimmer Biederman] is the guy who vowed just 48 hours ago to race Phelps without the suits, so I expected some nice highlights there. For just I moment I thought maybe we could see block and tackle swimming through the water alongside those men, but not to be."
- "I normally have prepared for me just a bit of methamphetamine if it's going to be a rough morning and I'm going to have a hard time waking up."

I don't comment a lot, but am an avid reader. I have to say that by far the most disappointing thing is Jrue. Now is the time for him to work out the kinks and Eddie seems reluctant. Also, I see Speights having a terrible year. One of the things that Hollinger pointed out about him is that he already had a low turnover rate. For whatver reason, rookies with low turnover rates do not improve as much in their second year overall. I don't agree with Hollinger, but everything about this year points to a bad year for Speights in my opinion.
Also, Brian can you repost your twitter name... just got into it and am having a ball following all these NBA guys, absolute hilarity.
Sure thing. www.twitter.com/depressedfan
Brian, if Jordan is gonna sub 5 for 5 than swapping Sam and Jason would help both units, but if Sam takes it as a negative he will fall into one of his funks.The key seems to be Elton or Sam being out there at all times.As far as the Willie/Jrue issue, I don!t like it but I have to trust his feel as far as their readiness.Missing Carney may have hurt the 2nd unit some because putting a shooter next to Willie [Ivey,Jrue ?] may allow him to just pass or drive instead of taking long jumpers.Maybe in the earlier practices [prior to Carney being hurt] the Willie/Carney/Kapono trio stood out offensively, we will have to see.
By the way, another reason they may be struggling alot with the P.O. is the best 5 capable of running it may never be out there together because of the rotations. Who spreads the floor for the starters, who is the [Iggy] for the backups.If I picked my best 5 to run this offense now it would probably be L.Will.,Iggy,Kapono,Elton and Jason with Carney next because of our coaches rave reviews before the injury so have these 5 been on the court together much?
Yeah, for some reason I get the impression that Coach Jordan sees Jason as a substitute for Elton and Marreese as a substitute for Sammy. Frankly, IMHO, Jason has more of the qualities you normally equate with a Center than Marreese does. Marreese is a gunner who doesn't rebound and can't post up effectively... few people would call that a recipe for playing Center. So, why not sub Jason in for Sammy, as you suggest? He's playing tougher, from what I hear, and his body is more Center-like that Marreese's as well. He might complement Elton nicely down low.
" Marreese is a gunner who doesn't rebound and can't post up effectively... few people would call that a recipe for playing Center."
Hm. The option is a guy who rebounds even less and spells post-up the long way, "three-point-jack-from-deep." Speights is mebbe 10lbs heavier than Smith while being about two inches shorter and is actually willing to go to the post from time to time. It'll be interesting to see over the course of the season which one is easier to label euro-soft.
Speights, imho, is a more natural PF, but it's a choice between lesser evils for the b/u C-spot.
p.s. gunnerism is mitigated if you can at least make the shots at a good rate. Marreese did well enough last season, but so far, he's developed some kind of wicked hex that has to go away but soon.
The team has enough talent to beat bad teams- even if they look ugly doing it. I hope this helps keep them afloat until they start learning the offense and defense. But because it will remain chaotic on both ends for a while, so we may no see much of Jrue for several months.
Not an ideal situation, but it is temporary, and not surprising. Honestly, I expect next Fall's preseason articles to focus on how much improved the team will be now that they are finally comfortable with the new schemes. The team is young,so there is no rush (except the whole Brand contract thing), which is good since picking this up will be more of a marathon then a sprint. So basically be patient and focus on the positives.
I had a few more trite sports phrases to put in there, but decided to save them :)
You gave it 110%
- Lou the PG - agree. so far so good
- Elton Brand's health - at the nets game, he looked active but playing below the basket. That leg is significantly less muscular. Be happy with 32-34 minutes of 16 and 10.
- The Princeton Offense - we'll see but expect improvement with or without it.
Willie's diminishing role - happy with 8-12 minutes.
- Team defense - optimistic.
- Thad and Iguodala: continued development - Iggy should be fine. Thad will have issues facing the basket in the offense but should be fine as season goes on.
- Speights and Smith - Young players with upside pushing for Sammy's minutes and backing up Elton. Perfect competitive opportunity. Looking forward to watching their development.
- The three ball - Kapono looks to have Kyle's shooting skills with a decent handle. Can even create a bit for others. This area has to be better.
- Coach Jordan - Won't be able to fully evaluate until January or February.
regarding the speights/smith rotation. I suspect that a sammy/speights combination on the court with the PO and defensively just isn't working right now. So, Smith for Brand and Speights for Sammy is the way it is for the time being.
thoughtful analysis, thanks sfw.
It's funny, I feel like people are shifting toward optimism around here recently.
Brian, This is the time to be optimistic. These are my only concerns.
- Don't think Sammy will ever fit into an offense especially this one. It will be interesting to see how the time is allocated at the center position as the staff becomes frustrated with his performance.
- Lou Will needs a capable backup for those physical backcourts. Not sure there is one on the current roster today. Hopefully, Holliday develops as the season progresses.
I expect Iggy to develop at the 2, Thad at the 3, Elton to compete at the 4 and Lou to prove that he can be a Sedale Threat type player for this team which is fine if Jrue develops. I'm very impressed with Kapono as a swing player(2/3) off the bench(Hopefully, not a mirage. Don't know exactly what happened in Toronto). Smith & Speights at worst will be solid bigs off the bench. If we can get lucky and find a good center we could have a true contender in Philly.
Every Sixer fan is optimistic this time of year, generally it turns to disappointment by December and comes back right around all-star break.
Lou the PG:
Thus far, color me impressed. He is playing the role I figured they would have him play, given the type of offense and personnel. He is doing damage while playing under control and seems to have displayed better defensive focus also(especially during the Nets game).
Brand's Health:
Incomplete, given that it might be more of an issue later, after 4-games in 5 nights &/or back-to-backs. But I do agree with your basic point, that even a hobbled Brand is a substantial improvement on both ends.
The Princeton Offense:
One of the pluses that I have seen from it is better team play. An example of that would be the Knicks game in the 2nd half, when they actually went away from it to standard sets. One play in particular comes to mind, when Dre had a post up, spun baseline and hit a curling Thad with a bounce pass for a layup. They rarely had that level of off-ball movement in the past several years, especially a flash-curl into the lane. Any off-ball Movement in the Cheeks/Brown era tended to happen along the baseline.
Willie's Diminishing Role:
Green is a reserve, which is progress. Eventually, Holiday will be the 2nd team 'PG.' However, Green has been solid, with the exception of the Knicks game.
Team Defense:
One of the benefits of using the Princeton Offense is that it also can help potentially improve your defense by practicing against such a dynamic system everyday. It forces the defense to remain hyper-aware. Also, given that Ayers is apparently the Def. Coordinator and is a Brown disciple, I am optimistic.
Thad & Andre: Thad's handle has improved. He is a work-in-progress as a playmaker but as a finisher, he is quite potent. Andre's shot has improved, he is also hitting his free throws thus far.
M16 is a natural gunner with a great scoring touch. Seems as if he is being groomed to take Lou's 'Instant Offense' role off the bench. Time will tell if they can actually teach him better court awareness and tone down his Uzi-spray. Smith has stretched his range out the the arc, have not seen him have much opportunities to finish inside. They both need improvement setting screens.
Dre has improved. Kapono is a huge plus, Carney is a plus, Smith can now hit that shot too. Jrue has hit it when he is on the floor, with a good stroke. If EJ decides to use a 10-man rotation with a bench squad of Green, Carney, Kapono, Smith & Speights, there are 3 bonafide shooters in that mix, with Dala and Lou still improving among the starters. The more important thing about Lou's shot is that the defense is actually honoring him taking that shot, especially if he does a shot-fake, which has given him countless driving lanes. Another benefit of the PO thus far has been much improved spacing, which also helps.
Jordan - He is an improvement, yet he is also an incomplete until the All-Star break. I like his offense, I like his approach with several of his players thus far, but cannot really begin to evaluate until the real season starts, with his rotations and in-game strategies as well as game-plans.

We're Singing A Happy Tune About These Possible "Glee" Guest Stars
I'm counting down the days until April 13, 2010, aka the day my new television guilty pleasure "Glee" returns with new episodes. Will Emma and Will finally get it on? What about Rachel and Finn? And what about Quinn and Puck's love child? As if we weren't excited enough already, the little gossip birdies are starting to chirp about possible guest stars for next season. Let's just say that that creator Ryan Murphy has been talking to "How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick Harris and sources say he may be breaking out his jazz shoes for a little song and dance, gleek-style. [EW]
After the jump, some more possible "Glee" guest appearances that we're stoked about.
- Jennifer Lopez. Ryan Murphy spilled the beans that he's been having secret meetings with J.Lo. Murphy wants Jenny from the block to appear as a cafeteria lady. I'll take a dish of that! [People]
- Madonna. So we already know that the gleeks will be doing a Madonna tribute episode next season. But did you know that they are trying to get Madge to make an appearance? Imagine the endless possibilities. [People]
- Olivia Newton-John. Picture this: Olivia and Jane Lynch doing a gleeky version of "Let's Get Physical." I'm laughing already. [People]
- Adam Lambert. Glambert may be on his way to the silver screen again, but more PG-13 this time, as Kurt's gay mentor. Duet! Duet! [Zimbio]

Stormtrooper Helmet gets Steampunk Makeover
Here's a few Steampunk variations on some of our favorite inhabitants of the Star Wars Universe. The first is Steampunk version of a Stormtrooper... a Steamtrooper, which was created by artist Brian Rood, for the TK Project -- a charity event for the Make A Wish Foundation, put on by the 501st Stormtooper Legion.
Here's some photos that give you a front, back, side to side view at the incredible detail Rood put into the helmet:
