SculptureCenter - Subjective Histories of Sculpture: Martin Kersels
SculptureCenter, in collaboration with the Vera
List Center for Art and Politics at The New School, presents the
artist-led lecture series Subjective Histories of Sculpture.
This program, initiated in 2006, furthers SculptureCenter's exploration
of how contemporary artists think about sculpture, its history,
legacies, and potential for innovation.
This year, three artists have been invited to present their own take on art history and consider the thematic focus of Thingness.
Utilizing sculpture as a point of departure and source of inspiration,
they explore the material conditions of our lives. Engaging with a rich
collection of social, cultural and political associations, these artists
consider the body as a performative object, study objects to explore
the construction of identity, and negotiate the tension and translation
between material and immaterial experience. Citing specific works,
bodies of work, texts, and personal anecdotes taken from inside and
outside cultural production, and inside and outside "art," these
subjective, incomplete, partial, or otherwise eclectic histories
question assumptions and propose alternative methods for understanding
sculpture's evolving strategies.
Martin Kersels emerged in the late 1980s as a
performance artist and founding member of the Los Angeles-based
collaborative SHRIMPS. Continuing to work in performance, he
incorporates sculpture, photography, video and installation into his
practice. Employing a comedic slapstick effect that engages in both
humor and pathos, Kersels often utilizes his own physique as a driving
force to investigate ideas about performative sculpture. Set within the
social context of pop culture and suburban experiences, he intertwines
the physical and psychological to create objects and characters that
engage wide-ranging emotions, as they wrestle with the limitations and
possibilities of the physical self.
Born in Los Angeles, Martin Kersels has exhibited widely in galleries
and museums internationally. In 2008, the Santa Monica Museum of Art in
association with the Tang Museum at Skidmore College organized Heavyweight Champion,
Kersels' first mid-career retrospective. He has also held solo
exhibitions at the Kunsthalle, Bern and has been included in group shows
at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and
the Whitney Biennial in 2010 and 1997. Kersels is represented by
Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New York and ACME Gallery, Los Angeles. He is
currently Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in
Sculpture at Yale University.

Months after Master P's ex-wife Sonya Miller filed for divorce, P's estranged wife is now claiming that the rapper/entrepreneur has abducted three of their children. According to TMZ, Miller has requested emergency custody as a result of the alleged abductions.
Miller says that in February and then March of this year, Master P picked up two of their kids, 13-year-old Hercy and nine-year-old Mercy, from school and has yet to return them.
In addition to Hercy and Mercy, Master P's 17-year-old daughter Tytyana reportedly ran off to live with her father and does not want to leave. One child, the couple's 14-year-old daughter, remains at home with Miller.
As part of Miller's emergency custody order, which was denied until a court hearing in July, she has asked for full physical custody. At this time, there are currently no court orders regarding custody or visitation.
After 24 years of marriage, Miller filed for divorce from Master P in October of last year. Months after filing for divorce, Master P's ex-wife revealed to TMZ that she was currently on welfare and living with her adult son, Romeo, as a result of the divorce.
Over the past few months, Master P has remained tight-lipped in regards to his divorce and his ex-wife's financial burdens.

From one 10x12 sheet of watercolor paper, you can make four birds. Divide the sheet in four pieces and trim the rectangles into leaf shapes.
Use a hole punch to make a hole near the "head" of each bird.
String a small piece of yarn or string through the hole for hanging the bird.
Cut from the construction paper some feet and beaks.
Fill a squirt bottle with water.
Everyone should put on aprons to protect their clothing, ideally waterproof ones.
Using the squirt bottle, encourage the kids to squirt a few tablespoons of water in each plastic cup, one for each color of food coloring.
Put one drop of food coloring in each cup. You don't need much.
Again, the birds will be more "cute" if they use the color sparingly, but using the eye dropper is so much fun, it can be difficult for children to hold back.
If the birds are not too wet, you can try sprinkling large grain salt on the paint. This soaks up the paint and can make a pretty pattern. If the birds are too wet, then the salt will stick to the paint and create some texture.
This can take about 30 minutes, depending on how wet the birds are, so plan another activity or read a book while this happens.
Once the birds are dry, the kids can draw an eye, wing or other details on the birds. They can use the glue stick to attach legs and a beak. Older children might be able to design their own legs, beaks and wings from construction paper, but for younger children, it's enough challenge just to use the glue stick.
If the kids want, they can also use child-friendly scissors to cut small "feathers" in the tail.
What a cheery decoration on a cloudy day!

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Resource Guide
The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Ear infections are often treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are only effective against infections caused by bacteria. If an ear infection is caused by a virus, antibiotics will not relieve the infection. In addition, decongestants and antihistamines are not effective in the treatment of an ear infection.
The medications listed below are commonly used for otitis media.
For acute otitis treated with antibiotics, most experts currently recommend initial use of "high dose" amoxicillin, reserving other medications for use only when there is no improvement after 48 hours. The most widely recommended "second line" antibiotics are probably amoxicillin with potassium clavulanate, azithromycin, cephalosporins, or the injectable antibiotic ceftriaxone.
The over-the-counter medications are used to treat fever and discomfort.
All of the prescription medications listed below are antibiotics. In some cases, a specific antibiotic may be prescribed because it is effective against the particular organism causing the ear infection. Usually, however, the specific organism is not known, and the physician will prescribe an antibiotic, such as high-dose amoxicillin, that is effective against most of the organisms commonly associated with ear infections. Because some bacteria have developed resistance to many antibiotics, your physician may have to try several antibiotics before the infection is cured. The medications listed below are only a selection of those frequently used to treat otitis.
Unnecessary antibiotic usage leads to antibiotic resistance that may make future ear infections and serious infections, like pneumonia, more difficult to treat. For this reason, many experts recommend that children with otitis who are older than 2 years may not need antibiotics until a 2-3 day trial with pain relievers alone has been attempted and found to be unsuccessful. Some mild forms of otitis, especially if caused by a virus, are self-limiting and do not require antibiotics.
Any antibiotic can cause overgrowth of fungus and produce fungal rashes.
Common drugs include:
Penicillins are used to treat bacterial infections. These drugs may be provided in a liquid suspension, which is easier to give to small children, chewable tablets, or pills. Treatment usually involves 2-3 doses per day for at least 10 days, although some doctors are investigating the use of shorter treatment times. It may take several days before the medication takes effect.
Possible side effects include:
Common drugs include:
These drugs may be used if you have a known allergy to penicillin or develop one during treatment. Some erythromycins are taken with food, while others are not. Your doctor, nurse, and pharmacist can advise you about the specific medication you are using. While widely used, these medications are not included on many experts' lists of best acute otitis treatment.
Possible side effects include:
If you experience these serious side effects, stop taking the medication right away, and seek emergency medical care immediately.
Common drugs include:
Like the erythromycins, these medications may be used if previous medications were ineffective against your infection. They are usually provided in a liquid suspension (for children) or in capsules and are taken 2-3 times a day for 7-10 days. You should not take these medications if you are allergic to cephalosporins. Some children who are allergic to penicillin are also allergic to cephalosporins. Be sure to tell your doctor about any medication allergies. Ceftriaxone can be effective against otitis when given as a single shot, and a 3-day course has been shown to be better in more complicated cases.
Possible side effects include:
Ibuprofen helps to reduce fever, pain, and inflammation and can be useful during the early days of an ear infection. Ibuprofen can be taken with food or alone, although it may cause stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach. Do not use ibuprofen for more than three days without consulting your physician.
Possible side effects include:
Acetaminophen helps reduce pain and fever. It is less likely to cause stomach upset than ibuprofen, but might be less effective in reducing fever. This drug may be taken alone or with food, but it should not be used with other products containing acetaminophen, such as certain cold preparations. Do not use acetaminophen for more than 3 days without consulting your physician.
Ear drops containing a local anaesthetic (such as ametocaine, benzocaine, or lidocaine) are used for temporary relief of ear pain. In children, ear drops can help decrease pain, especially when the drops are used with oral pain relievers.
If you are also taking antibiotics, the pain-relieving drops are usually only needed for the first 1-2 days of treatment. If your pain lasts longer, it may mean that the infection is not responding to antibiotic treatment.
If there is a chance that the eardrum has ruptured, do not use ear drops.
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:

People, people, people.... wait for a dead ball situation before walking up and down the aisles at the games (or at least try and do it when the teams are bringing the ball up the court and not when they are into their offense) . Show some consideration to others. Sure it only takes a little time for you to walk up the aisle and you only block people's view for a little bit... BUT YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING IT!!! Therefore, it all adds up. Is it that hard to wait at the section entrance until a whistle before heading up the aisles?
Having aisle seats should be kind of nice, but it's not when people keep making trips (and trains) up and down the aisle.
It burns me to miss plays because some inconsiderate people are making their trips at inopportune times.

Good afternoon,
My questions is about draft picks. In my league we have 14 draft picks; one in each round. I made a lot of trades and now my last draft pick is in the 7 round. What happens to the other draft picks I had? I wanted to trade my 10th rounder but it was no longer there.
rangerdave 5 years ago
The number of picks you get in your draft are equal to the maximum number of players allowed per roster minus the number of keepers you have set. If you trade for a pick in a round beyond that of your last allowed pick, you will not be able to exercise the pick.
FleaMod Admin 5 years ago
If you have too many draft picks, the system will cut you off at your last one because there is no 15th player to fill the roster.
JonnyMacFlo 5 years ago
Thank you for your input...one more question. Currently I stop drafting in the 8th round. If I trade away two of my draft picks in the offseason will I be issued two draft picks at the end of mine...for example will I get a 9th and 10th pick?

Grado, IT
Being invited to develop a master plan for the Döllerer family hotel whose initial business back in 1909 was a butcher shop, and since then they have created a hotel, a restaurant, a traditional 'Wirtshaus', and a delicatessen shop, has been exciting. Meeting their son Andreas, a great young guy who was named the "cook of the year" in Austria in 2010 and finally wanted a stage for his so called 'Cuisine Alpine' made it the most ambitious project for us to realize so far. Andreas had great ideas, satisfied clients but a kitchen far too small, and nearly no storage, once a small restaurant's kitchen in the 1960's the time had come for massive change so the family decided to do a total makeover and extension of their hotel without losing their roots and traditions.
It's very exciting working 'in between'. Meaning that Golling, where the hotel is located, is neither a big city like nearby Salzburg, or one of the countless alpine ski-resorts in the area. Consideration of the surroundings, the family's tradition, and attracting the well-travelled guests from all over Europe became a must in our design approach.
Situated on a market square in a fully enclosed building context all the plots are very narrow and deep letting nearly no daylight into the buildings. Luckily during the last couple of years the family acquired the neighbouring houses on both sides of their hotel.
One of our main design ideas was to bring the missing light and greenery into the hotel. By pulling down one of the old outdated neighbouring houses we opened the facade southwards bringing daylight to nearly all areas of the existing building. Also a garden with terrace for the new restaurant and bar, which is the first in Golling, could be realized in our designs. This has a spectacular view over the rock walls coming down from the mountains behind the market square which are nearly invisible from the street. The new building, related to the local context, is not as deep as the old one was, but offers enough space to house the new 'Alpine Bar' on the ground floor, with ten guest rooms and junior suites on the upper floors that have great views over the garden and the castle of Golling.
This new situation allowed us to completely re-organize the ground floor where everything is centred on the 'table of delicious treats', an old oak wood monastery table located in the middle of the new hall. Traditionally in the alpine region there has always been a large table where families came together, or invited their friends and neighbours, with the comfort of a warming fire place.
All the main areas like the restaurant, the traditional wirtshaus, the reception area and the bar are connected to each other through this central space, with its very open yet intimate layout, creating more quiet areas and niches, and also meeting points full of life.
Over the past two years we have succeeded in redesigning and redeveloping whilst maintaining the Döllerers family's soul and traditions. Meeting friends or business partners, chatting with the Döllerers or the neighbours, eating homemade sausages or a five course gourmet menu, relaxing in front of the fireplace or in the garden, enjoying great Austrian wines in the alpine bar, enjoying the spectacular view over the alps from the new spa, spending a weekend in one of the new guestrooms ... Follow us on a walk through the new hotel and see all it has to offer.

HART -- the Premier Tool for Asset Management
Cut Downtime and Improve Profits With the Tools You Already Have
Do more with less. That's the mantra of many industries today in North America or anywhere else around the globe. Companies no longer have employees that aren't fully utilized—nobody has a couple of hours to grab a clipboard and some test equipment and go out in the plant to check the condition of field devices and final control elements.
Besides, plants require hot work permits, safety information, workarounds and other time-consumers, making it highly unproductive to grab that clipboard and go.
Companies around the world have begun formal programs to use the diagnostic data in their HART-smart instruments and control valve actuators and positioners by directly connecting them to the asset management systems in the maintenance department.
"HART technology has saved both time and money," says Todd Gordon of We Energies in Milwaukee, Wis. "We have also used the HART signal from digital valve controllers (DVCs) or positioners to provide valve position to our DCS control system with the use of a HART converter module."
Why was this important? "Actual position feedback was not available with the original plant equipment, and we couldn't tell if a valve was sticking without physically looking at it," Gordon says. "With this HART signal converted to 4-20 mA for an input to DCS, we then added a deviation alarm to tell the control operator when the DCS command signal deviated from the actual valve position more than 5% for more than five seconds. This HART feature alone saved the plant from tripping offline on several occasions. We have been able to adjust valve packing on valves when they were in service, which is a huge benefit. We have also prioritized maintenance work based on the friction calculations of the HART smart positioners. The dampers with the highest friction numbers were repaired first."
Hiren Choksi, of Krishak Bharti Cooperative Limited in Gujarat, India, agrees. "Benefits are quite huge in terms of the monetary aspect, as well as it has helped by increasing the overall productivity of the plant. Let's say, in an ammonia plant, one unplanned breakdown shortens the life of reformer tubes by 7% due to thermal shocks. Using the HART protocol, faults and errors are able to be identified and rectified well in advance."
Tina Lockhart, director of engineering for Moore Industries International, says, "Every HART field device response contains information regarding the device's health. This information consists of device and variable status, such as device malfunction or primary variable out of limits. Having this data sent with every message provides the operator with confidence in the integrity of the process measurement and with immediate notification of a problem. From a maintenance perspective, a whole plant can be monitored from a single location, and fault diagnosis can often be performed remotely. Many instruments provide additional status information that can be used for predictive maintenance and replacement of equipment on an as-needed basis. This results in reduced maintenance trips, fewer process disruptions and high system availability."
Eddie Saab of Lakeside Process Controls in Ontario, Canada, talks about the use of HART diagnostics to correct serious problems at the Bruce Nuclear Power Station. "This is the largest nuclear power plant in North America," he says."Bruce Power had a history of feedwater heater operating problems. When a comprehensive root-cause analysis was initiated in 2001, it pointed to two main causes for the problems: an inverted loop in the saturated drains that allowed liquid to collect (which was corrected), and inadequate heater level control, which was solved using HART-enabled smart instrumentation."
Saab continues. "The Bruce Power/Lakeside process controls team decided to carry out what it called "smart utilization of smart equipment." Solenoids and junction boxes were integrated onto the valve assemblies. An interlock was tied in so that if power was lost to the solenoid, the positioner air supply was blocked, and the valve actuator used its spring to get the valve to the fail-safe position. The team used the HART signal inherent in the Fisher DVC6000 digital positioner to detect the solenoid trip. And, finally, the team set up the Fisher DVC6000 digital positioner on the valve to provide a direct signal for valve position and to enable on-line valve diagnostics."
Moving to Predictive Maintenance
"This approach uses two-way communication between the control room and the valve for on-line troubleshooting," Saab continues. "On-line troubleshooting is looking for advance signs of problems that could impact process performance. This allows the plant to move away from preventive maintenance, typical within the industry, and toward true predictive maintenance, a more effective way to address valve and process problems."
Kenneth Marse, of Galata Chemicals LLC in Taft, La., puts the value of HART for asset management simply. "The plant converted to contract instrumentation/electrical maintenance in 2007, and staffing was significantly reduced. Instrument reliability suffered, and calibration compliance declined. Using HART and the AMS system [from Emerson Process Management], the site has improved instrument reliability and has returned to full calibration compliance while maintaining a reduced staff."

A STOURBRIDGE councillor says "there's not a cat in hell's chance" of a controversial parking permit scheme going ahead in the town's Old Quarter given the level of opposition to it.
Dudley Council was this week set to analyse responses to its three-week consultation over plans to introduce a trial scheme in 45 congested side streets to stop visitors and workers clogging them up rather than using the pay and display car parks in town.
The plan to charge residents £95 per car to park has been widely slammed by people living and working in the area - and it now looks unlikely to become a reality as council chiefs stipulated it would need 80 per cent support to go ahead.
Ward councillor Barbara Sykes (Wollaston and Stourbridge Town) said: "The benchmark was always very high. Given the level of opposition there's not a cat in hell's chance it will have made 80 per cent."
Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, Dudley's cabinet member for transportation, said: "The proposal was in response to calls from residents in the area but we made it clear from the outset it would require 80 per cent support for a scheme to be introduced. We encouraged residents to take part in the consultation which ran from February 10 through to Friday (March 7). We will now be analysing the responses in order to take a decision in the coming weeks."
Stuart Millward, who runs the House of Magic UK shop in Brook Street, branded the idea "mad" and said it would kill his business - a sentiment echoed by Clifton Street based hairdresser Carol-Ann Perks.
Many residents also criticised the proposal on a Facebook site 'SAY NO to residential parking permits in Stourbridge Old Quarter!!' - set up by angry resident Sarah Billingham - which attracted more than 250 members.
Cllr Sykes said: "It should never have got to the point of people being so upset. It was only ever a consultation with the community. They didn't have to do anything to say no."
She said people who did not respond to the consultation were automatically assumed to be against the plan which she described as "well intended".
The number of responses has yet to be revealed by the council, which is also collating the results of a similar consultation carried out in the streets around Dudley's Russells Hall Hospital.

A catholic monastery devoted to the teachings of St. Benedict
Greetings from Saint
Meinrad! I've been thinking a lot lately about the role of the
monastery in the world, and I am increasingly convinced that the
distinct life of the monk offers a witness and a message that is as
relevant and important as ever.
As monks, we plant ourselves in this place, we limit our scope,
and we go about the hard work of proving to ourselves and the world
that the Kingdom of God is truly within our grasp. This kingdom
comes to life in our prayer, in our love for one another, and in
our service to the students, guests and pilgrims whom God places in
our lives.
There are days when we realize it more fully than others, but
the monastery is and will always be called to be a vision of the
Kingdom. And that is what we are working on here.
Seeking his workman in a
multitude of people, the Lord calls us to him and lifts his voice
again: "Is there anyone here who yearns for life and desires to see
good days?"
-Prologue, Rule of St. Benedict
In his Rule, St. Benedict calls not the holy, but those
who have the desire to be holy. If you have that desire, then read
on, continue praying, and let us know if we can answer your
questions about the monastic life at Saint Meinrad Archabbey. We
are eager to share this life and to welcome others to join us in
this school of the Lord's service.

L'Oréal Paris Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner Reviews
Okay, decent starter liquid eyelinerIt would glob up fast for me and the tip was too soft. I didn't like the shine of the eyeliner after it dried. It also smudged off pretty easily. It stung my eye more than any other liquid eyeliners I've used. — 6 years, 6 months agovolta | 566 reviews

It was okay.....I like how the tip is not like those other ones made out of fibers that could "feather." It has a unique almost silicone looking tip. I didnt like how the product was too runny to apply. Some areas ended up looking darker than another area. I wish they made the tip a little shorter too. Makes it hard to control with how long the tip is. It lasted a decent amount of time but if you were to ask me if i would buy it again.............eh, probably not. — 4 years, 7 months agobeautypoet101 | 581 reviews

Essential!The felt tip is the best for liquid eyeliners. Brushes move around too much, cake type is not intense enough, and pencils are not as durable for a long wear. This comes in carbon black, which is the blackest black you can find. With the pointy felt tip, you can go between lashes so easily. I put this over my silicone based long wear eyeliner (such as Revlon ColorStay) to give it an all day smudge ...read moreproof effect, my power trademark secret. Just to let you know, I have the oiliest lids and my lined portion touches the lid when my eyes are open (I'm Asian), but this doesn't transfer and stays put all day into night. — 9 years, 5 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

Not bad....I started using this when Maybelline discontinued their felt tip eyeliners. Work almost as well as Maybelline, except the tip is a little longer and the colors aren't as good. It also tends to dry up quickly so you don't have a lot of time to play around when putting this on. I also noticed that after a few hours, it just doesn't look as fresh.

Favorite Liquid LinerThis is my stable liquid liner, I have yet to find one that beats it. The color is awesome, looks almost like a patent leather black, its easy to use thanks to the sloping tip and it lasts all day. And I rarely have to buy a new one, I use it everyday and I think I buy three a year. — 4 years, 3 months agomoriarty.kt | 213 reviews

Impressive!!I usually lean towards pencil liners when it comes to eye liner; I never really thought that I would like anything else. When I tried this felt tip though, I immediately fell in love. I believe I have finally found the holy grail of eyeliners. First of all, I love the idea of a felt tip; pencil liners are fine but need to be sharpened regularly, liquid liners are tricky to use, and cake liners jus...read moret do not provide enough pigments. I love felt tips because they do not need to be sharpened, are easy on clumsy girls like me, and can be very VERY dark. This felt tip liner was great because the one I bought was nice and dark (I purchased it in Carbon Black) and did not smear or flake or fade or move around all day. It also did not move even when I purposely rubbed my eyes a little bit to see how it was doing. Still, it washed off easily enough with my usual makeup remover (breath of relief). An added bonus is that the packaging is also nice, and does not draw attention. I prefer L'Oréal and Revlon to other drugstore brands because I am such a packaging snob. I seriously cannot stand Maybelline's neon purple and green tubes. I generally adore L'Oréal products, since they are such high quality for such a low price. This eyeliner is absolutely perfect: it is long lasting, dark, affordable, and easy to apply. What else could you want in an eye liner? I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I have already bought some for my friends as gifts and they also LOVE them! If you are ever out of your favorite eyeliner or just want to try something new, visit your local drugstore and try this out! — 5 years, 11 months agoliliofthevalley | 34 reviews

A good basic black liquid eyelinerI'm relatively new to using liquid eyeliner, so I'm not very good at applying it :) But this felt tip liner makes it much easier to get a straight, even line. The staying power of this liner is amazing too. It doesn't budge all day, and looks exactly the same at night as it did when I first applied it in the morning. That said, it is a little hard to remove. I use an eye makeup remover with oil a...read morend it still takes a couple minutes of gentle rubbing to get everything off. But overall, this is a very smart buy — 7 years, 10 months agoj_orestano | 221 reviews

The only liquid liner I will use.I really love this liquid eyeliner. The application is kind of weird in my opinion because the felt tip is really long and gives a thin line only, for the most part. But it lasts all day, even on my waterline, without smudging or melting off. It's a decent price and definitely worth that money. Recommended! — 6 years, 6 months agomkgx7 | 97 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
The recent return of Ricky Rubio from an ACL injury has peaked interest in Derrick Rose's rehab process.
Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau shed some light on Rose's current state on Thursday. He provided detail on his star point guard's effort to come back from a torn ACL suffered on April 28 in a playoff matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The initial prognosis for Rose's healthy return following May 12 surgery was in the eight to 12 month ballpark.
"He's right on schedule," Thibodeau said on "Mike & Mike In The Morning" on ESPN Radio, according to ESPNChicago.com. "He's not ahead of schedule. He's not behind. We have to be patient. It's the type of injury that you have to take your time with, and when he's ready to come back, he'll be ready to come back. There is no time scheduled for it."
So far, Rose has begun shooting, running and cutting on the knee. The Chicago Bulls organization remains cautious with their star player, with even owner Jerry Reisndorf saying he won't allow Rose to return until he is 100 percent.
"He's doing a lot, but he hasn't done anything with contact," Thibodeau said. "So we're going to go step by step. First he has to get into practice and he has to practice well for a while. And then we'll move on from there.
"Hopefully at some point during the second half of the season he'll rejoin us."
The Bulls have maintained a better record without Rose than was expected. They sit at 14-10 on the season and are fourth in the Eastern Conference standings, thanks to the superb play and extended minutes from Joakim Noah and Luol Deng.

These Christmas songs were all written by Jewish composers and lyricists:
"The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) (1945) by Mel Tormé (1925-1999) and Bob Wells (born 1922)
"White Christmas" by Irving Berlin
"Let It Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" (1945) by Sammy Cahn (1913-1993) and Jule Styne (1905-1994)
"Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" by Johnny Marks (1909-1985)
"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Johnny Marks (1909-1985)
"Holly Jolly Christmas" by Johnny Marks (1909-1985)
"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" by George Wyle (born Bernard Weissman) (1917-2003)
"Silver Bells" by Jay Livingston (music) and Ray Evans (lyrics)
"We Need a Little Christmas" by Jerry Herman
And then there's these where one half of the team was Jewish:
"Winter Wonderland" Felix Bernard (1897-1944) (co-composer)
"There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays" Al Stillman (1906-c.1986) (lyrics)
"Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" J. Fred Coots (1897-1985) (co-composer)
"I'll Be Home For Christmas" Walter Kent (music) born (Walter Maurice Kaufman)
"Do They Know It's Christmas" Bob Geldof
And this one where the composer was of Jewish ancestry (but not raised Jewish):
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
And some top-selling Christmas albums:
The # 1 best-selling Christmas album from 1991-2008: "Miracles: The Holiday Album" by Kenny G. (7,195,000 copies)
He also comes in at #10 with "Faith: A Holiday Album" Kenny G. (2,735,000 copies)
Kenny Gorelick is Jewish.
Other big sellers have been:
Barbra Streisand's "A Christmas Album" from 1967 – one of the best-selling Christmas albums of all times (see pic above)
and these:
Two of three Bare Naked Ladies are Jewish and nothing says holiday like a Bare Naked Christmas.
So with all these Jews writing and recording all this Christmas music, why do we still only have ONE Hannukah song? Oh well.
Merry Christmas.

'With the new rules, including the elimination of the red-line, Regier said Lydman could take a big step forward this season. "We are taking the league seriously and at face value with respect to the rule changes," he said. "So the game should move more towards these types of players so it should help someone like Toni. I was asked earlier if we expect him to be the anchor on the powerplay and we don't. But he can definitely spend some time on the powerplay."'

CHICAGO -- All Candy Expo continues to add options and new exhibitors, and trade show organizers say the 2009 program will be bolstered by the fact that confectionary products are proven performers during tough economic times.
Sponsored by the National Confectionery Association, All Candy Expo, which now also showcases cookies and snacks, will be held from May 19 to 21 here at McCormick Place. More than 450 companies are expected to exhibit, and 100 of those are first-time exhibitors.
"Retailers know that even in a troubled economy, they can increase their bottom line by displaying candy and snacks items," said NCA president Larry Graham. "In 2008, despite the economic challenge of the past year, U.S. sales of confectionery items increased by 2.2%."
Combined, the confectionery, snack and cookie categories make up a $300 billion industry worldwide, the association reports. More than 2,000 new confections and snacks are introduced annually.
Making its debut at this year's exposition is the Retail Merchandising Solution Center, an area for retailers to source the latest fixtures and displays from the top names in the industry. The center also will also host the Magic of Merchandising Display Gallery, where showgoers can get a close-up look at the display ideas and solutions that leading retailers are currently using to boost sales.
The Gourmet Marketplace will be expanded and occupy prime real estate on the show floor. It showcases leading specialty products in every segment from premium and upscale to fortified, all-natural and organic products. Sales in the gourmet category are growing by more than 20% annually, NCA said.
This year's educational program at All Candy Expo is designed to keep industry professionals ahead of the curve on hot-button issues and identify opportunities within the confectionery and snack industries. It consists of nine sessions. One will examine the economy's impact on confectionery and the future of snacking. Others will cover new product trends, changing consumer habits and better-for-you snacking, among other topics. A full education overview can be found online.
With export sales up over 21% in 2008, All Candy Expo organizers say they are pulling out all of the stops to connect with the international buyer community. In addition to a fully staffed, onsite lounge, international participants will get a sneak preview of the show on Monday, May 18, at the Confectionery Export Extravaganza. Here they will meet representatives of confectionery manufacturers whose products are exported worldwide. International attendees will also have an opportunity to go on a retail store tour and learn how U.S. retailers merchandise to their customers.
Visitors from 70 countries are expected to attend this year's show. According to NCA, more than 5,000 pre-qualified buyers from 60 different countries attended the 2008 exposition.

So now that free agency, for the most part, is done for now, what is everyone's view on where the East is as of now? My rankings go like this:
1. Indiana- Yes we lost Stephenson, but we have always been a TEAM not a 2 man superstar led team, we can survive losing Lance and succeed. George Hill will have a big year, David West is still a BAMF, we can still get all-star Hibbert back, I think we will be fine without Lance. We replaced Lance with CJ Miles, who I am a big fan of and his shooting will do wonders for us, and Rodney Stuckey, who is a capable scorer off our bench who can play when Miles shot isn't falling. The most important part is, we have Paul George as well.
2. Chicago- Well they get Derrick Rose back, what level will he play at? No one knows, but if they can get all-star caliber play from him, which I believe they will, they will be a very, very good team. Their front court is also great with Taj Gibson, Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol, and Nikola Mirotic. Jimmy Butler is a solid player as well, but they have a whole on the wing that needs to be filled by Dunleavy/McDermmot/Snell and I am not a big fan of any of them.
3. Cleveland- Well they have LeBron, but I am not in love with his supporting cast to tell you the honest truth. They have Kyrie Irving yes, but he has never been on a winning team, let alone even sniffed the playoffs. Andrew Wiggins COULD be good, but the guy is a rookie. Dion Waiters is just awful for that team from a chemistry perspective, and posted on twitter he wouldn't accept a bench role. Thompson is solid, but once again no playoff experience, I just don't know if the supporting cast is experienced enough.
4. Washington- I actually don't think Washington will be as good this year, I think the loss of Ariza will hurt them, and I don't think Pierce has much left in the tank. However, Beal is a stud, and walking away from that Washington series last year, he was by far their most impressive player to me, and he has a bright future. John Wall is also a very good player... But I don't know if he is good enough to lead a team, and Hill locking him down gives me doubts.
5. Toronto- They got Kyle Lowry back which is huge for that team. Lowry is an all-star caliber player, and adding him back to a young core of Jonas, DeRozan, and Ross will mean more years of solid basketball up in Toronto. However, they didn't add any new players, so I think its another year of one and done for Toronto again, but they have a bright future.
6. Charlotte- Well they added Lance to an already solid core. Al Jefferson is the top center in the East, and Kemba Walker is a very solid point guard, and add Stephenson to that mix and you have a solid team. Floor spacing is definitely a key issue with the Hornets, as Walker/Stephenson/Gilchrest is awful from a floor spacing perspective, but they will be decent.
7. Miami- They kept Bosh and Wade, and added Luol Deng and Josh McRoberts.. Thats a solid top 3 right there and McRoberts is a good role player... But outside of that they suck tbh.
8. Atlanta- Well they added a solid defender in Thabo and they will get the return of Horford next season, so they will certainly be dangerous when you factor in Millsap and Teague are already there. And I can't forget the Pacer killer Korver either.

The BNP proposes to reintroduce corporal punishment, and to make capital punishment available for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers.[127] In addition to increasing military defence spending, the BNP plans to reintroduce compulsory national service. The BNP proposes that men should keep a rifle and ammunition in their homes.[127] It proposes "to end the conflict in Ireland by welcoming Eire [sic] as well as Ulster as equal partners in a federation of the nations of the British Isles".[130]
The BNP requires that all members must be members of the "Indigenous Caucasian" racial group.[134] The party does not regard non-white people as being British, even if they have been born in the UK and are naturalised British citizens. Instead, Griffin has stated that "non-Europeans who stay", while protected by British law, "will be regarded as permanent guests".The party has stated that it does not consider the Jewish, Hindu or Sikh religions to have a significantly detrimental or threatening effect, having several members with Jewish ancestry, but does not accept practising Sikhs or Hindus as culturally or ethnically British. In pursuit of the policy, the BNP has previously worked with extremists from the Sikh and Hindu communities in an anti-Islamic campaign and actively tried to win Jewish votes.The BNP is opposed to mixed-race relationships on the stated ground that racial differences must be preserved; the party said that "when whites take partners from other ethnic groups, a white family line that stretches back into deep pre-history is destroyed." Nick Griffin stated: "...while the BNP is not racist, it must not become multi-racist either. Our fundamental determination to secure a future for white children is restated, and an area of uncertainty is addressed and a position which is both principled and politically realistic is firmly established. We don't hate anyone, especially the mixed race children who are the most tragic victims of enforced multi-racism, but that does not mean that we accept miscegenation as moral or normal. We do not and we never will"

Plush Wampa Backpack
Belly of the beast
- Carry your stuff inside a Wampa
- Cuddly and useful, not bloody at all
- Officially licensed Star Wars collectible
We did it! We traveled to Hoth with our super secret ShrinkRay (which we suppose is no longer super secret since we just told you, Internet) and we shot a Wampa and shrunk it down to convenient backpack size. Of course, we had to dry it out and remove the blood and guts and stuff, but that's why we have a taxidermist on staff.
Unzip the Plush Wampa Backpack and you can slip in your essentials: a couple books, maybe a tablet or smartphone, some charging cables, your lightsaber (just in case a fight breaks out), and some change for the nearest vending machine or arcade game.
Product Specifications
- Carry your stuff in the belly of the beast
- Officially licensed Star Wars collectible
- # of pockets: 1
- Pocket dimensions: 10" x 7.5" (Width is deceiving, Unless your putting something paper thin, an object with depth/thickness makes the width of the opening smaller. example, a booksized object with 6.5" width and 1.5" depth just barely fits through.)
- Overall dimensions: 21" head to toe, 17" head to butt. 17" tall x 10" wide (excluding arms)

Evolution Hoax
Adnan Oktar Says...
Adana CRT TV, September 30th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: Leftist-rightist, ALAWITE, KURDISH, LAZ, CIRCASSIAN, SUNNI; IT DOES NOT MATTER, WE ARE ALL BROTHERS, WE ARE ALL SERVANTS OF Allah. Allah has showed us our path, we will respect everyone's ideas but unity and solidarity are essential. Those who love Allah, those who act in the way of Allah will surely make effort for the betterment of this country and they will do so. Turkey will, Insha'Allah, pursue the goal of the Turkish Islamic Union with success.
Al Hurra TV, April 8th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: In my childhood we were unaware of such a concept. We used to hear accidently that someone was of Kurdish origin and it was none of our business. This system still holds true. WHETHER KURDISH, LAZ, CIRCASSIAN OR OF ANY OTHER IDENTITY, once these people call themselves "Turkish" and speak Turkish, they are Turkish citizens.THEY ARE FIRST CLASS CITIZENS. THERE IS ABUNDANCE IN BEING UNITED. There is malice in disunion. Disunion is something evil. Separation brings forth weakness, pain and torment.
Kanal Avrupa ve ÇAY TV, January 16th, 2011, 22:00
ADNAN OKTAR: WE ARE THE SAME WITH OUR KURDISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Before we didn't even know if someone was Kurdish or not. They had come up with that one recently. For example, I didn't know that some of my friends were Kurdish, I only found out later. What does it matter if they are Kurdish? WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF THEY ARE KURDISH, OR CIRCASSIAN OR LAZ? THEY ARE ALL OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THEY ARE ALL THE CHILDREN OF PROPHET ADAM (AS). THEY SHOULDN'T TRY TO IMPOSE THIS ON US BECAUSE THEY CAN NEVER TEAR APART THE KURDISH PEOPLE FROM US, AND WE WILL NEVER LET THEM GO. WE ARE ONE BODY, LIVING HAPPILY TOGETHER. WE ARE HAPPY THE WAY WE ARE. WE DON'T WANT TO BE SEPARATED so there is no need to protract this. We don't want a federal state either. We don't want anything that would worry us. We want Turkish-Islamic union, the Islamic union. As simple as that.
January 29th, 2013, Son Dakika
Mr. Bahceli talked about the mistake of racism and said: 'If the Turkish nation was racist, Mr. Erdoğan wouldn't be the prime minister today' and reminded that Mr. Erdoğan is also of a different origin and continued: 'Anyone that loves this country is a member of the Turkish nation. Turkish people do not have other lands to go, do not have people to discriminate against or borders to redraw. Anyone thinking otherwise will be disappointed. Islam is all we have."

Lyme Disease Is Focus of July 22 Town Hall Meeting
July 17, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
A town hall meeting will be held July 22 at 7 p.m. at Centreville High School, 6001 Union Mill Road, Clifton, to raise awareness of the dangers of Lyme disease and highlight the practical steps to take to prevent and reduce the risk of contracting the disease. The event will be hosted by Springfield District Supervisor Pat Herrity and Sully District Supervisor Michael R. Frey.
Lyme disease cases in Virginia have doubled in the last few years. There were approximately 400 confirmed cases of the disease in Fairfax County during the last two years.
Speakers at the town hall meeting will include:
- Vicki Monroe, Fairfax County wildlife biologist.
- Monte Skall, executive director, National Capital Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Association.
- Representatives from the Fairfax County Disease Carrying Insects Program.
Lyme disease is a bacterial illness transmitted by a tick bite. Within two days to a few weeks after being bitten by an infected tick, 60 percent of people develop a circular or oblong rash, which usually increases to two to three inches in diameter and sometimes to as large as 20 inches. As it enlarges, the center clears giving it a "bull's-eye" appearance. In addition to, or instead of the rash, a feeling of tiredness, headache, fever, stiff neck, muscle aches, joint pain and swollen lymph nodes can occur.
For more information on the town hall meeting, call the Springfield District Office at 703-451-8873, TTY 711, or the Sully District Office at 703-814-7100, TTY 711.

Progressive Agriculture Foundation shares the dangers PTOs present and the tips to reduce PTO-related injury and death among children.
Power take-off devices (PTOs), though incredibly useful on farms and ranches, can be extremely dangerous to people, rotating at 540 to 1,000 revolutions per minute (RPM), or nine to 16 revolutions per second. These energy-transferring machines that generally work to move energy from a tractor to a smaller device such as a grain auger, hay baler or pump can present extremely hazardous situations to humans, especially children.
One of the most common injuries that occurs with PTOs is PTO entanglement. Due to the rapid rotation, people often get caught by the fast-moving PTO shaft and injured before they have time to react to the situation.
"The demonstrations we often do during Safety Days show what happens to a straw-filled dummy when it comes into contact with a rotating PTO shaft. This is a great opportunity for kids to really see firsthand just what these machines are capable of. If even one life is saved from these dangerous devices, our work is well worth it," says Bernard Geschke, program specialist with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation® (PAF), an organization that helps rural communities provide safety and health education to children ages 8 to 13.
As a parent, there are several things you can teach your child to reduce the likelihood of a PTO-related injury or death. Educate your children on the importance of doing the following:
1. Always remove the keys to the engine before leaving the tractor seat to make sure the PTO will not accidently start running.
2. Make sure all equipment safety shields and guards are in place and properly working before working near a PTO device.
3. Wear tight-fitting clothes and keep hair out of the way. A baggy sleeve or hair can easily get caught in a PTO device.
4. Never step over a PTO device even when it is shut off. Stepping or reaching across a PTO can lead to entanglement.
5. Children should stay away from PTOs that are operating, and children under 18 should never operate a PTO device.
Safety tips such as these are examples of the things children learn when they attend Progressive Agriculture Safety Days®, which are held each year in approximately 400 local communities throughout North America.
Safety Days are fun, hands-on, one-day events that provide children with education and training that can keep them and those around them safer and healthier on a farm or ranch, and at home. The program explores more than 30 topics, including ATVs, firearms, water/outdoor safety and knife safety. PAF provides the curriculum, coordinator training, take-home bags, T-shirts and other resources to help make the Safety Days a reality. PAF is committed to providing farm and ranch safety and health education to children across rural America in an effort to reduce farm- or ranch-related injuries and death.
The Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program is the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America and a program of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation. The Foundation's mission is to provide education and training to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities. In 2008, PAF was awarded the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance National Charity Seal, demonstrating its commitment to accountability and ethical practices. Safety Day applications are due each July 15 for Safety Days that will be conducted the following calendar year.

When the turkey is browned to your liking, stir in the chopped green onions and cook for a minute or so. Then turn off the heat and stir in the rest of the chopped cilantro and 2 T lime juice.
Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos with Tomato-Avocado Salsa
(Makes about 8-10 tacos, recipe adapted from Molly Watson's Turkey Tacos, discovered via Twitter from Marisa.)
Ingredients for Tacos:
1-2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic (I used minced garlic from a jar, but fresh garlic would be even better)
1 can (4 oz.) diced green chiles (not Jalapenos, unless you want it really hot)
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground Chipotle or Cayenne pepper
2 lbs. ground turkey
1 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 large bunch cilantro, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups chopped cilantro. I used 1 cup in tacos and 1/4 cup in salsa. Use more or less cilantro to taste.)
2 T fresh lime juice
2 large heads iceberg (or use any lettuce you prefer like romaine, Boston lettuce, or butter lettuce)
Cut off root end of lettuce and cut away the core. Discard tough outer leaves, then cut the lettuce into quarters to create "cups" to fill with taco meat. (Save the small inner pieces for another use. -10
When turkey is lightly browned, add sliced green onions and cook another 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat, then stir in 1 cup chopped cilantro and 2 T lime juice.
Spoon 2-3 large spoonfuls of turkey mixture into each piece of lettuce. Top meat mixture with salsa. You could also eat this mixture inside whole wheat tortillas or pitas, or even corn tortillas if you're not watching carbs.

Leyland has utmost respect for Rangers
ARLINGTON -- Jim Leyland doesn't want to make too much of a mid-May series between a couple of division-leading teams, but what the Rangers have accomplished over the past few years has earned them a new-found respect from the veteran major league manager.
"I look at this as [the Rangers] have a real, real, really good team and a real tough opponent," Leyland said before opening up a four-game series at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Thursday night. "I respect everybody we play, but you have to respect this team after what they've done the last few years and what they've done this year where they don't have Josh [Hamilton] back and they've made some moves and they just keep marching on.
"That said, we think we have a pretty good team, too."
Leyland was especially complimentary of Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler and third baseman Adrian Beltre.
"This is my personal opinion, but I think Kinsler is one of the best players in the American League," Leyland said. "He's a hell of a player. I just have the utmost respect for him.
"He does everything. He plays second good, he's got power, he's got speed. He plays hard every time I've ever seen him. I think he's really a top-notch player. I think he's quietly become one of the better players in the league."
Beltre, Leyland noted, is known throughout the league for his ability both offensively and defensively.
"The third baseman is without question one of the best players in the American League," Leyland said. "I won't say who it was, but I had one of my coaches tell me the other day that he is one of the five best players in the American League.
"He's just a terrific player. He's a terrific defender and he's a terrific hitter. We talk about Beltre all the time. Fortunately for us, we've got a pretty good player playing third base, too."

Requesting Reimbursement for Care and Preservation Expenses
Due to the success of the NGPC 10 Tab Purchase System, the NGPC has developed a CPC Tab System designed to standardize and simplify the CPC request process. It is hoped that CPC package standardization will reduce common errors found in CPC requests, decrease CPC processing time, and allow lenders to be reimbursed more quickly.
In order for payments to be processed in a timely manner, NGPC strongly suggests that lenders submit CPC requests using the CPC tabs.
If you wish to have expenses reimbursed at the time of purchase, please complete the CPC Tabs and attach them behind Tab 10 of your purchase package. If the SBA has already purchased the guaranty, please submit the reimbursement request to the email, fax or physical address listed on the first page of the CPC Tabs. Please note, SBA requires copies of detailed invoices to support all expenses deducted from liquidation proceeds.
A "CPC Status and Payment Statement" will be sent out to update you on the status of your expense reimbursement request. During the initial screening, you will be notified whether your request was accepted for review and processing, postponed, or rejected. After the expenses have been reviewed and processed by a loan officer, you will be notified whether the reimbursement was approved in full, partially approved, or denied.

Tyler + 15th pick for Varejao. Does either side say no?

Tyler + 15th pick for Varejao. Does either side say no?
I know it's a good trade because I'm really torn. Ultimately I accept it if Varejao can log 30-35 minutes a game at the 4. But is he a 4? I consider him more of a 5. Does that matter? I don't know.
Does Cleveland do the trade? Maybe. Hickson and Tyler play the same position. Neither is a 5 and neither is a 3. It depends how much they value the 15th pick. AV is a fan favorite, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind shedding his salary.
I wish I had more to say about this, but I don't feel strongly enough in either direction. It's a gamble. If PG improves and we can rely on him for 15 a game next season, you probably have to do it. And I'm looking for an excuse to re-sign McRoberts anyway.
Part of me wonders if giving up nothing and signing Dalembert would be a better move though.
I thought Dalembert was a 5.
And I'd prefer to give up Josh, Brandon, and 15 for Varejao but I'm sure Cleveland would rather have Tyler.
I like the Dalembert idea over trading Tyler and a pick. I dont know if we can get any body good in the draft at 15, but I think we can trade the pick and maybe another Pick for OJ Mayo. If we can trade for Mayo and sign Dalembert and possibly a guy like Jamal Crawford or JR. Smith I think we would be sitting pretty. I havnt been keeping up with who resigned and I dont know all the fine print details of the free agents, but the players I am going to mention are at least scheduled to come into free agency. My wish list, would probibly never happen but here it is.
We trade 2 or 3 draft picks(future or watever) for OJ Mayo. We now have a quality starter at the 2 who can create his own shot. We sign Jamal Crawford or JR. Smith. Either One of them give us a quality Bench player at the 2 backing up Mayo. That allows granger to play the 3 with paul george playing back up at the 3. We sign either David West or Ne'ne(if neither possible Louis Amundson). And Sign Dalembert(I dont think his price would be too hefty.) I dont know how much money it would run us, but we have alot coming off. If we could Pick up 4 players with that much it be great.
Starters: Hibbert,(West/Ne'ne/Amundsom), Granger, Mayo, Collison.
Bench: Dalembert, Tyler, Paul George, (Jr Smith/Jamal Crawford) AJ Price(Id like to see Lance tho) If this was possible to pull off, I think we are a legit contender.(more so if we got west or NeNe opposed to amundson.)
Craig "The Coon" Gehlhausen
Am I the only one who thinks we're overvaluing Varejao a little bit? Maybe it's just that I don't like him but I've never felt he was worth a first rounder.
I like Varejao a lot, but I wouldn't want to give up Hansbrough for him. We do have the ability to straight up absorb his contract into our cap space, and throw in sweetener like a pick, so that should be an enticing enough option for Cleveland.
After everything Tyler has brought to our franchise (consistent toughness and heart) and with how its spread through our team, I would hate to trade him, let alone to the Cavs.
I would think the 15th pick and the cap relief would get it done. But who knows where Cleveland is at. They have put feelers out there that everyone is available for picks. I'm sure no one wants to pay Jamison what he makes to eb a backup PF. He is still solid but his defense gets worse by the minute.
Baron Davis has a big contract that they took on to get a top ten pick. This is weird because Diddy has talent, but his contract is ridiculous. A rebuilding Cleveland took on a lot of money to get a top ten pick. I still think Baron is better than Mo, but typically teams rebuilding want to shed salary.
The Cavs weren't nearly as bad as people want to suggest. Cleveland's two best players were hurt most of the year. Antawn was playing with a bunch of second round draft choices for 3/4 of the season. I just don't have a clue what direction Cleveland is heading.
Hmm, that might be an interesting alternative. #15 for Varejao and Jamison. Adding a lot more talent in exchange for the pick and cap relief.
Of course, that leaves Tyler as our 3rd PF for next year....
I'd just buy Jamison out, or see if he could be traded.
He expires, and is an inside scorer, which is something we need... why buy him out?
He's closer to "inside scorer" than the PFs we've had this season
no at this stage of his career he is a shooter
Anybody know the details of why Varejao sat out almost the entire season? I know he was hiatus after the death of his grandfather and something about his back, but not 51 games bad. Info?
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
He was injured
I Know lol, thats why I said and his back. But last I checked it was back spasms, but sureley that wouldn't put him out for 50+ games.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
no it wasnt back spams lol it was his ankle he tore some ligments if i remember right had to have some major surgry.
I know he was out for some back spasms for a bit after he Grandpa died, I didn't know about the ankle though. thanks.
Follow me at @Bluejbgold
That'd give Cleveland 3 picks in the top 15, one of them "should" be in the top 2. If they really want to jumpstart a rebuild...
I think Tyler AND the pick is a bit much though, and just the pick and absorbing salary doesn't seem like enough for Cleveland.
I don't trade Tyler and a 1st for Varejao.
We have to remember this practically Tyler's first season, and he put up pretty good numbers once he got a chance under Vogel. Played really well Game 1 of the playoffs, and I still think that elbow from Kurt Thomas had lingering effects.
However the Pacers use their 1st round pick, I hope they use it wisely.
I actually hope they're able to use it, b/c the NFL lockout didn't allow teams to trade players for picks, only picks for picks

Is the open beta only with one track?
Fantastic vid thanks Tim! Loved the sound reverb off the tunnel walls (I downloaded the middle of the 3 options), the crowd cheering was great, the suspension movements and seeing the brakes in the wheels are ace.
The track...OH MY GOD the track is glorious, every little detail is there, brilliant work to whom ever did this!
Simply cannot wait now!
Downloaded the Xvid twice, keep getting CRC errors
Anyone downloaded it and have it working?
I also noticed a few different tire sounds...think I noticed some understeer chuddering in there. Definitely the best audio feedback I've heard in a sim. Seems like all the others just have one sound they play at different volumes and a slight bit of pitch shift.
When I get home tonight I'll definitely have to d/l the higher-quality files!

No... I can see when I login on our ftp that every byte is there... But it seems not possible to download. Damn... That's annoying...
Those who got a 1.1GB file... Tell WinRAR to keep broken files and extract what you were able to download. You should then be able to play 1/5th of the video at least if you use VLC media player. It'll at least allow you to see the original quality.
Meanwhile, I am uploading a couple of test versions which hopefully will give a very good Youtube quality. Based on 100% Youtube recommended settings... lol
Maybe it's because size of file is larger than what you can represent in 32-bit number?
FTP protocol should handle it so perhaps it's a problem with either server or client implementation. If you gave us link again people could exmeriment with different FTP clients.
And by the way - was that video recorded from replay?
SRPL Shader Pack v0.92 is now available for modders: announcements / discussion
"Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible." - Dalai Lama
I'm just going to see if I can give a better representation on Youtube for now. The other versions work though.
The 1.8 GB-file is a very good one, just the image you would see on your screen when racing... altough I hope I'll get a better framerate than this .
It looks very good I have to say, the YouTube version doesn't do it any justice though. Makes everything way less sharp so it looks like you have inferior textures, which isn't the case in the 1.8 GB file. Nice lighting after the Piscine btw, you can see the sun is behind you at that moment (I guess? ). Sound is also very good; nice engine sound, the reverberation of it on the walls and the skidding sounds.
The graphics just really need some anti-aliasing though, especially the thin shadows look horrible now. Also the LOD-distance should be higher, but that's rather obvious I'd say.
All in all, I'm impressed. Thanks for this clip Tim!
PS: I'm wondering (couldn't see it in this clip), will you see the rear axle rotate on the 60's formula cars? It was very obvious in real life, and CARS managed to capture that as well, but I have yet to see it in an rFactor 2 clip (I could be wrong).

Max Angelo showed some video here http://forum.imagespaceinc.com/showthread.ph...ll=1#post18122
Between these two videos (rf2 vs real) we can see difference in suspension movement. In the real car suspension seems to be definetly more soft and works smoothly than in rf2.
What do you think about that?
What's the reason?
Different spring hardness or something else? (maybe video kills framerate?)

Full filtering is possible framerare wise recording directly with fraps ?
Would be nice that time scale would be set on x30 for next video. The Megane on Estoril or Mills would be nice too.
The thing that impresses me the most are the tyres, probably the most detailed looking tyres with brake calipers and all that stuff + the tyre rubber texture is so good that it smells rubber. Even the brand name (Dunlop) is visible Also suspension is modelled very well and its movement seems responsive.
The lighting system is ok, but not as polished as it could be. The cars still look cartoonish.
The track have massive amount of details and the sound of the crowd going from your left ear to right ear is a nice touch.
I'm honestly glad to hear that there are newer and better sounds, because the ones in the video are disappointing. The car sounds like it has a broken exhaust..
Are all the trees 3D objects? If so, can they be slightly rotated? The harbour section looks a little repetitive.
I reckon within a week the modders will have had a crack at Monaco and some things might look a little different
I think people are getting hung up on flatspots. If you watch a good slowmo of a lockup in modern F1 (for example) you can see the 'burnt' patch of rubber going round as the wheel starts to turn again, even with some smoke emanating from it for a few rotations. It seems more like that's what we're seeing in this video, rather than a decent flatspot. (it would seem possible - though I have no personal experience - such a mark would last longer on tyres that are softer and actually produce a flatspot - since that section of rubber will have less contact with the road and not be 'cleaned up'. On a very hard tyre there is no actual depression created, and the affected area is scrubbed clean fairly quickly. Or am I just talking out of you know where? )
Thanks for taking the hole day to put up this video Tim. As you can see from most of the comments, it was worth it.
