I was reading about a new statium in Taiwan which is covered with PV panels - people were so happy!
Copied from the site:
3. Avoid Daytime Peak Hour Consumption of Power As one kwh costs 3 Taiwan dollars, and power generation are available 3 hours everyday, 3000 kwh can be generated in a single day, and 10,000 Taiwan dollars can be saved.
They are using 8,844 solar panels to generate 3,000 kWh per day. One site calculates they will generate 333 USD power per day though I believe it is 96 USD per day with current exchange rates. Due to the shape of the roof the PV panel exposure is somewhat less than optimum. StJerome - how much less would you get if you shaped your PV panels like this? A lot!
The architect is happy he did a wonderful thing! The greens are happy with such a wonderful thing! The investments in solar are fine but is Taiwan the best place?
What about investing the same amount of money in a place with a bit more sun. The possible return (or at least less expense) would still be credited to the Taiwan peoples account. This is not a money maker but a rat hole.
This is a bit like the National Guard putting PV panels up in New Hampshire. At least do it some place with sun!
Green is fine but some common sense should be used.

Hospital bosses shelled out more than £12m in the past two years on 251 locum doctors and consultants.
Figures revealed under Freedom of Information laws show that in 2012/13 Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust spent £5.8m with locum agencies to temporarily fill posts.
And in 2013/14 the Trust, which runs the Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley and South Ribble Hospital, spent £6.8m.
In 2012/13 they used 153 locum doctors and in 2013/14 they used 198 at a cost of £12,746,430 - averaging almost £51,000 per post.
Today the Trust said an increase in the use of locum doctors is due to a number of issues including an increase in vacancies due to a national shortage of doctors in certain specialist areas.
The figures, which were released through the What Do They Know website, show that areas where more locum doctors were used include general medicine, general surgery, paediatrics and neonatal, obstetrics and gynaecology and plastic surgery.
In 2012/13 the Trust used 61 general medicine locums, this increased to 76 in 2013/14,
There was also a year on year increase in the number of locums used in paediatrics and neonatal. In 2012/13 the figure stood at 19, which increased to 26 in 2013/14.
In it's response to the FOR request the Trust said it struggled to recruit staff in consultant radiology and haematology, middle grade A&E, general medicine and paediatrics roles.
Karen Swindley, workforce and education director at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "Wherever possible we always try to use our own staff rather than locums.
"However, there is a national shortage of doctors in some specialist areas and our priority is always the safety and care of our patients.
"Therefore, if required, we will use locums to ensure that we maintain high standards of care for our patients.
"We have seen an increase in the number of locum doctors for a number of reasons, including an increase in vacancies due to a national shortage, an increase in demand for healthcare and investment in improved ways of working to ensure patients receive timely care."
Karen added: "We are continuously reviewing our staffing levels and have a recruitment strategy in place to ensure that we have the appropriate number of people in the right posts."
The hospital trust uses a company called Medac to fill the posts.

Rockport streamlines mobile checkout via Google Wallet implementation
The new three-click checkout process is intended to drive mobile conversions by making mobile purchases quick and easy. Rockport's mobile site features its entire line of shoes, boots and accessories, enabling users to shop and checkout from their mobile devices.
"Google has amassed a large number of user accounts and, as such, is emerging as a big player in the mobile payment space," said Wilson Kerr, vice president of business development and sales at Unbound Commerce, Boston.
"Google Wallet reduces friction at mobile checkout by eliminating the need to enter shipping and payment data while shopping mcommerce sites," he said. "This speeds checkout and increases conversion rates.
"Rockport wanted to take advantage and, by adding a discount for the use of Google Wallet, saw this as a way to partner with one of the biggest mobile players on the planet, and drive new mobile sales."
Rockport is using Unbound Commerce's mobile commerce platform.
Three-step checkout
Checking out on mobile devices can be frustrating for users when they are required to fill in numerous fields of information, slowing down the process and sometimes causing shoppers to abandon a purchase.
Google reports that up to 97 percent of mobile shoppers abandon their mobile shopping carts.
When shoppers use Google Wallet to make purchases on the Rockport mobile site, they are not required to enter a credit or debit card number, billing address or other payment information because this information is already stored in their Google Wallet.
Customers can simply click the "Buy With Google Wallet" button, log in and click to complete an order in three steps.
Rockport is one of the initial retailers using Google Wallet's new solution for the mobile Web.
Users can also pay with Google Wallet at 1800flowers.com and FiveGuys.com.
Rockport is enticing shoppers to use Google Wallet by offering them $20 of their purchase.
Marketing mcommerce
The Google Wallet integration is just one of the ways that Rockport is embracing mobile to drive customer engagement.
For example, in April the brand used QR codes to link a live product launch event for a new product line to a commerce-enabled mobile landing page built for the promotion (see story).
"Rockport is constantly looking for ways to merge mobile commerce and marketing and refreshes their mobile site homepage call-to-action imagery often, to match the current marketing campaign," Mr. Kerr said.
"Rockport is linking marketing campaigns to the ability to convert purchases via mobile," he said. "Mobile commerce is no longer a nice to have and companies like Rockport are demonstrating the importance of joining together the ecommerce team and the marketing team.
"Mobile is touchable, transactional and trackable and can allow consumers to convert a purchase when their intent to buy is the strongest."
Final Take

The high school yearbook inscription from 2000 spoke of great things ahead for Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.
"Mike is a sociable and intelligent guy," a friend at École secondaire Saint-Maxime in the Montreal suburb of Laval wrote. "He loves to laugh, and his smile wins over the girls. He will go far in life."
Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau did make a name for himself but in the worst possible way. On Wednesday, after spending an adulthood filled with homelessness, petty crime and drug addiction, the 32-year-old killed a defenceless soldier at the National War Memorial before being gunned down in the halls of Parliament.
That morning, Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau had woken up at the Ottawa Mission, a downtown homeless shelter where he had spent the last two weeks of his life annoying fellow residents with anti-Canadian outbursts and pronouncements of a coming Armageddon.
"He went on for more than an hour about how much this country sucked and how he wanted to get out of here, and he was furious about the passport," Mission resident Norman LeBlanc told The Canadian Press on Thursday, describing a Sunday altercation that almost led to blows with the bearded 32-year-old.
Zehaf-Bibeau had come to the capital to secure a passport in order to travel to Syria, where he may have been planning to join ISIS forces.
At the time of the attack, his passport application was still under review, and RCMP suspect his anger over the delay may have helped to motivate the rampage.
One Mission resident, identifying himself only as P.M., said Zehaf-Bibeau had endeared himself to a pair of young Caucasian Anglophones at the Ottawa Mission.
"He was teaching them about Islam and stuff. He had them doing the Islamic prayer. They were in the hallways here doing it," said P.M.
"You knew they were up to something shifty, pacing around a lot and everything."
The morning of the attack, all three were gone from the shelter by 8 a.m., although police say that nobody else at the shelter were "actively supporting his plot."
On Thursday, Zehaf-Bibeau's mother, Susan Bibeau, made it clear her son had been lost to his family for years. She told a reporter with the Associated Press, "If I'm crying, it's for the people [killed and injured.] Not for my son."
Born Oct. 16, 1982 as Michael Joseph Hall, his name was officially changed to Zehaf-Bibeau in 1995, according to La Presse, which suggests he was adopted.
His mother is deputy chairperson at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, dividing her time between Ottawa and Montreal. A graduate of Université de Montréal law school, she joined the IRB in 1990 as a refugee protection officer, where she worked to determine whether refugee claimants were fit to stay in Canada.
Her husband, Belgasem Zahef, is from Libya and owned a restaurant in downtown Montreal in the 1990s. Three years ago, the Washington Times reported that Mr. Zahef had returned to his hometown of Zawiyah in Libya to join the uprising against the Muammar Gaddafi regime.
The family lived in Laval when Zehaf-Bibeau was growing up, and he attended a private high school, Collège Laval, from 1995 to 1998 before being pulled out by his parents.
Michel Baillargeon, the school's principal, said he was an unremarkable student. "He did not stand out," he said. "He was an everyday student like we have hundreds of."
Although Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau made a better impression at Saint-Maxime, he was barely out of high school when he had his first brush with the law.
In November 2001, when he had just turned 19, he was convicted of possessing a false credit card and impaired driving, La Presse reported. The next year brought another fraud conviction in Aylmer, QC and an assault conviction in Laval.
He would go on to rack up convictions of robbery, conspiracy and drug possession before moving to Western Canada, where he added to his criminal record with convictions in Alberta and British Columbia.
In Vancouver, he is known to have stayed at a Salvation Army shelter in the city's Downtown Eastside and gotten himself kicked out of a Metro Vancouver mosque for erratic behaviour.
"His behaviour was not normal," said David Ali, vice-president of Masjid Al-Salaam mosque in Burnaby, B.C. "We try to be open to everyone. But people on drugs don't behave normally."
Mufti Aasim Rashid, spokesperson for the B.C. Muslim Association, which runs Masjid Al-Salaam, said Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau was asked to leave the mosque, because he had "gotten a hold of keys and stuff from the mosque, and when he got out of jail, he just started sleeping there."
Another Vancouver mosque, Masjid 'Omar al-Farooq, said they had never seen Zehaf-Bibeau during his time in the city, but issued a statement condemning "acts of aggression and violence … particularly those committed in the name of our faith."
At a Thursday press conference, RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson confirmed that Zehaf-Bibeau had carried out the shootings with a Winchester 30-30 lever action rifle, a quintessentially Canadian bush gun that is not normally the first choice of would-be terrorists.
Zehaf-Bibeau's lengthy criminal record prevented his from owning firearms, leading police to suspect he may have picked it up on the black market. In preparation for the attack, he also secured a car on Tuesday: A brown Toyota Corolla.
"He wanted to buy a car, desperately, and he was trying to get help from everybody in here to get a car … He acted bizarre, he did. Very bizarre," resident John Clothier told CBC.
On Thursday, Comm. Paulson vowed to "investigate and understand" Zehaf-Bibeau's "radicalization process."
"He is an interesting individual in the sense that he had a very developed criminality," he said. "Combined with some of the things that gave rise to the radicalization, I think is where the focus of our investigation needs to be."

ASUS ROG Matrix GTX 580 Platinum 1.5GB Graphics Card Review - Best of the best?
ASUS GPU Tweak Software
So the hardware is sexy and the design is pretty sweet from an engineering perspective, but what has ASUS done with their own software overclocking in order to allow the average consumer to access that much power? It turns out quite a lot - with a big and worthy upgrade to the GPUTweak suite.
The GPUTweak software consists of three semi-independent applications. On the far left, the monitoring software will keep an eye on your temperatures, voltages, fan speeds and a lot more. In the middle you will see the sliders for overclocking your system as well as buttons for things like updates and settings. On the far right is the ASUS branded version of GPU-Z that gives us all the information you are used to seeing and should be used as a validation for what the software (in the middle) tells you.
Good news for all of us - ASUS isn't limiting this software to just be used by Matrix card owners or even just ASUS card owners - everyone will be able to download it and use it with a few differences. The main variations will be the in ability to do the BIOS burn-in (hard coding your overclocked settings to the card) and the memory timing adjustments; both of these are limited to the ASUS ROG-versions of graphics cards.
The above three images show us ALL of the items that the GPUTweak monitoring software can keep tabs on with the Matrix GTX 580. This is a HUGE amount of information going from the GPU utilization to frame buffer usage to any and all voltage, fan speeds and percentages and of course various clock speeds. If you can't find what you are looking for in this list, chances are you don't REALLY need it.
The unique ability to adjust memory voltages is found only with Republic of Gamers cards and can help users get that last little bit of performance from their GPU. Since not a lot of people have experience with these timings and how they work on the GPU memory side of things I am guessing most users will leave this as-is but it is always good to have the flexibility to adjust things if you want.
The ability to check for updated drivers and VBIOS right in the software is nice and you can tell the software to check periodically over time.
Though not working in our version for this review, GPUTweak will even be integrating a custom game recording capability much like we have come to love on FRAPS. We will see how capable this functionality is once it is enabled.
Hotkey settings are nice as well and allow you to quickly switch between profiles and even move the clock rate up or down.
This settings page allows the user to decide what overclocking functionality will actually be displayed on the application and even will allow you to set an executable file to run when you hit the "benchmark" button the software's main screen.
Overall I would say that the ASUS GPUTweak software is the best we have used to date for overclocking and monitoring a graphics card. I am glad to see them not locking it down for use only on ASUS card and the fostered good will should turn into tangible sales somewhere down the line. Once we get things like the video recording functionality enabled GPUTweak might end up being the number one software for gaming junkies.
I love how this card is not compared to a superior product, the N580GTX Lightning whihch you had on review 3 weeks ago :)
The lightning card was reviewed by another editor that lives faarrrr away from me. :)
I read in another review that its potential overclock is higher then MSI's extreme lightning.
No, actual statistics from HWBOT.org show that the Average overclocks of Lightning cards is higher under both air and LN2 cooling.
If you take the average OC of the cards it's true and also the current rankings show it: http://hwbot.org/benchmark/3dmark11_-_performance/#cores=1
75% of the 3DMark11 580 scores are from MSI. (including the fastest card and the highest score)
So no, I don't know where you read it but it's false :p
"We managed to get the GPU frequency up to 891MHz, which is 75MHz faster than the out-of-box frequency, and 119MHz faster than a reference GTX 580. Also, because the shaders are locked to the GPU frequency, the shaders were running at 1782MHz, versus a stock GTX 580 of 1544MHz. Looking back at a couple of other evaluations, a MSI N580GTX Lightning video card achieved 893MHz GPU frequency, and an ASUS ENGTX580 DirectCU II video card achieved only 857MHz GPU frequency with no modification. So, this overclock is already better than ASUS's own GTX 580 DirectCU II version, and on par with another high-end custom video card. "
Nice cherry picking Mark!
the $600 you mention is of the 3GB Lightning Xtreme Edition, the regular Lightning is $525 (oh! cheaper than the Asus!) :)
If you take a wider sample variance instead of just [H] you'll notice he averages are higher for the Lightning.
I was at a local event where they had 20 Lightnings and the average OC of those cards was over 1 GHz!
I really wanted to enjoy this card. NewEgg sent me one that was used. I immediately RMA'd it for another and they sent me yet another used one! I eventually received a refund and bought the MSI Lightning GTX580 Xtreme. It's a monster overclocker, but I still want the ASUS Matrix. Since the ones I received were pre-used I never installed either one. I guess it isn't too early to be thinking about a Christmas present for myself. Especially since Ivy Bridge has been put off for at least another 3 months. Or never?
This is an awesome card, I picked up one of these, a ROG Crosshair V formula motherboard, and some Gskill 2133 ram, and the setup FAR exceeded my expectations.. (still using AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition cpu until Zambezi releases)
averaging 50+ fps in Crysis2 DX11 with everything maxed at 1680 x 1050 + hi-res textures
Unigine Heaven demo in Open Suse Linux sees an avg of 66.4 frames with an overall score of 1673 with moderate tesselation setting
MATRIX GTX580 P/2DIS/1536MD5 Software – Driver Download
May I simply say what a relief to find a person that really understands what they're talking about on the
net. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
More people really need to read this and understand this
side of your story. I was surprised that you're not more popular since you certainly have the gift.

Of all the useless objects we have ever known or seen, this might be the only one we might be moved to describe as exquisite.
It's a model of a Formula One car. Finely and precisely detailed, it was created in only four minutes by a 3D printer at the Vienna Institute of Technology, and it measures 0.28mm across. It would fit neatly inside the dot at the top of this letter i.
Just another technological novelty? Not really. It is in fact a good deal more. This tiny model consists of about one hundred microfine layers and it was created in such a short period of time because it is the product of new, ground-breaking technology.
The new technique is called two-photon lithography, and it uses two finely-focused light beams and a layer of a new resin-based material. The material, liquid under normal conditions, hardens into plastic when bombarded by photons from two different sources. The implications of this rapid and precise nano-technology are vast for scientific and medical applications.
More conventional 3D printing involves laying down a single complete layer, one at a time, until an object has been completed. Completing a complex object can take hours or days.
Professor Jürgen Stampfl from the Institute of Materials Science and Technology at the TU Vienna said: "Until now, this technique used to be quite slow.
"The printing speed used to be measured in millimeters per second – our device can do five meters in one second."
This technology is still new and limited — solid plastic shapes like this car are the only one it has generated so far — but the research is moving onward and it appears to be gathering momentum.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Hotterwells to arrive on North American shores: Thomas Ottawell who arrived in Virginia in 1623; Thomas Ottowell, who came to Virginia in 1624; George Ottawell, who settled in Maryland in 1754; and Bridget Otwell, who settled in New York State in 1853..

If it doesn't work out, no problem, you can just kill the child slave and no one will say a word.
GVnet Zeva's eyes filled with tears as the 10-year-old's father took her by the arm and handed her over to the man from whom he had borrowed 50,000 afghanis, or about $1,000. "I cannot pay you in any other way. Take my daughter," said Gul Miran, 42, a farmer in Nangarhar province.
Says the buyer, "In a year or 18 months I will marry her off to my youngest son," he said. "He is 19 years old and has been married to his first wife for two years but has not had a child yet."
Zakira was given away in marriage to stop a blood feud. Her uncle had murdered a man and, rather than start a round of revenge killings between the families, 20-year-old Zakira was bestowed on the murdered man's brother who happened to be three times her age.
Afghan families often sell their daughters for the purposes of sexual exploitation, forced marriage, labor, domestic servitude, slavery, and even the removal of body organs. Human Rights groups report that up to 60 to 80% of all marriages were forced. BNI has posted videos of some of the hundreds of young Afghan women who kill themselves by self-immolation, often in protest of a forced marriage, domestic violence, or a lack of respect for their rights.
Girls between 5 and 15 years old are sold for around $1,000 or an equivalent amount of sheep. Sometimes women and girls are kidnapped and forced into marriages, pushed into prostitution and often used to settle debts or to resolve conflicts. Internationally,Afghan women and girls are being trafficked primarily to Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.
What happens to young girls in Afghanistan who run away from forced marriages in desperate search of freedom? They are whipped and hit with sticks, leather straps, and rods, over and over and over. And the men that beat them? Well, their actions are justified. After all, these girls should know better.

Area: 199,900 sq km (77,200 sq mi)
Population (1997 est.): 4,595,000
Capital: Bishkek
Head of state and government: President Askar Akayev, assisted by Prime Minister Apas Jumagulov
Kyrgyzstan experienced further setbacks in the democratization process in 1997 as a result of prosecutions of government opponents and independent journalists. In January, Topchubek Turganaliyev, head of the opposition Democratic Party of Free Kyrgyzstan, was given a 10-year sentence on a previously dismissed embezzlement charge; many attributed the move to the government's desire to silence an influential critic. The prosecution in May of the chief editor of one of the main independent newspapers resulted in an international outcry; the journalist was later freed by the Supreme Court.
The output of a new gold-refining mill, a Canadian-Kyrgyz joint venture, gave Kyrgyzstan the highest percentage increase in industrial production in the Commonwealth of Independent States for the first half of 1997, but other enterprises continued to languish, and living conditions for most of the country's population failed to improve. In July the Communist Party and several Slavic interest groups appealed to the Kyrgyz leadership to form a union with the Russian Federation, on the model of the union between Russia and Belarus, as a way out of the economic crisis. The government of Kyrgyzstan ignored the appeal, which was repeated in the following months.
Authorities in Kyrgyzstan were increasingly concerned during 1997 about the growth of the illegal narcotics trade in the country. Not only was Kyrgyzstan being used as a conduit for drugs in transit from Afghanistan and Tajikistan to Western Europe, but illegal drug-processing laboratories were discovered within Kyrgyzstan itself. The government appealed for international help.
This article updates Kyrgyzstan.

I suppose "huge expansion" is ironical, if not my comment is I don't think I ever played a so short expansion, even those of NWN1 seem to me bigger.
Other than that you are quoting general PC sells but what's behind those numbers? Organization making those numbers seem have discovered only recently there was PC digital sells. Are all games that contributed to this increase really more streamlined and console like?
I wonder why players would buy the pc version of a console like game when he could buy the version of one of the multiple consoles he owns.

GREENVILLE, S.C. - T.J. Duckett and Warrick Dunn seemingly are the perfect bookends in the Atlanta Falcons' backfield - one a burly, powerful runner, and the other a speed back who excels in the open field.

"You have to have two good backs in this league in order to get through your 16-game regular season and into the playoffs," new Atlanta coach Jim Mora said Thursday. "We're fortunate to have two guys who can be effective runners in a lot of different ways."
Yet Duckett and Dunn haven't always complemented each other on the field. In their first two seasons together in Atlanta, they rarely played together, with no clear cut roles. Dunn started six of the first 11 games in 2003, with Duckett getting the nod in the other five.
A foot injury ended Dunn's season at that point, allowing the 6-foot, 254-pound Duckett to finish out the season as the featured back.
"It was an opportunity, and this game is full of opportunities," Duckett said. "I had to do what I could to make up for Warrick being out. I had to carry the load."
Duckett made the most of his chance. He finished his second season with a career-high 779 yards rushing - averaging 4 yards a carry - and scored 11 touchdowns on the ground, the third-best total in franchise history.
But those totals came in a conservative system employed by then-coach Dan Reeves. Under Mora, the Falcons plan to use a version of the popular West Coast offense, with the emphasis on short passing to move the ball and take time off the clock.
The change appears to favor the 5-9, 190-pound Dunn, who caught 68 passes in 2001 with Tampa Bay. Duckett has a total of 20 receptions in two seasons.
"I think it fits my style," Dunn said. "It's quick, it's slashing, you can catch the football out of the backfield. It's the style of game that I like to play and most coaches said that I'd be able to play in the West Coast offense. This is my first opportunity."
Duckett worked in the offseason to be a complete tailback, and so far he looks ready to handle any role in the offense. During his rookie year, he missed four games with various foot injuries, and they also bothered him a bit this spring during workouts.
But he's healthy now and looking forward to playing in this system, even if it means again sharing time with Dunn.
"I think we can feed off each other," Duckett said. "There's no hard feelings. I think we'll be fine. We're going to make plays together, and it's going to be a beautiful thing."
Mora hasn't decided who's going to be the starter - Dunn currently is listed No. 1 on the depth chart - and plans to use both of them interchangeably. After watching offseason drills and a couple of days of training camp, he also doesn't believe either of them is one-dimensional.
"Everyone thinks that T.J., because he's a big guy, he's only good inside, but when he gets in the open field, I don't want to tackle him," Mora said. "What we've got is a real luxury in that we've got two guys who can really do a great job for us in different situations."
That includes giving quarterback Michael Vick some help.
"I think the system fits a lot of people, and it definitely fits Mike," Dunn said. "The talent that he has around him is so superior to what he's had before that he's in awe because there are opportunities for big plays on every play.
"We look forward to going out there and having fun and doing what the West Coast offense is supposed to do: make plays."
Running back battle
Warrick Dunn and T.J. Duckett are battling for the Falcons' starting running back position. A tale of the tape:
Dunn is only 5-9 and 190 pounds, but his excellent hands and pass-catching ability give him the inside track in the West Coast offense. Dunn has 346 career catches in seven seasons.
At 6-foot, 254 pounds, Duckett is a bruising runner, but that style doesn't necessarily fit coach Jim Mora's system. He has caught only 20 passes in two seasons with the Falcons.

Adventures in Optometry!
Posted by dan in Dan in Real Life, Totally Random but Decidedly Awesome on March 30, 2011
Following is a list of words and phrases that I had not expected to hear from my optometrist today:
- Assault Rifles
- Robots in Space
- Dog Shit
- Pedophiles
- Semen
- Singularity
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
- Dismemberment
- Bipolar
- Dandelions
- Chinese Space Tourism
- Chick Flicks
- "An Army of Hubbles"
- Private Jetliner
- You May Need Glasses
And yet, all of those were uttered some time during the course of my 15 minutes appointment. Made reading those little letters a lot more interesting, though.
That is all.
Awesome Sauce
Posted by dan in Totally Random but Decidedly Awesome on February 4, 2011
SO, I've received a few comments about how planetdan has been puttering out, and it's obviously a little true. Mostly, I've kinda started to question the purpose of planetdan. Not in an existential way, but more in a practical/content-driven way. I like to communicate and tell stories, and I like to make new friends online through my blog, but as the internet has evolved over the last nine years, I feel like I've kinda lost focus.
Planetdan was started as a way to keep in touch with my family and friends and to share fun stuff I found online. Then I started to create some original content and eventually I made some new friends, and in the meantime planetdan became a big disorganized hodge-podge of anything and everything.
But the internet has millions of blogs by billions of people and I don't feel it's necessary to post random stuff anymore. There are plenty of blogs out there that do that better and more often than I ever could. Plus, my own personal life hasn't been very exciting lately, so I couldn't mine that for new material either. I wanted to think of more original content to post but it was tough without a focus to reign in any ideas.
Retiring planetdan was never an option, but I decided I wanted to go a new route: evolve and diversify. And so while some of you think I've been blogging less, I've actually been blogging more than ever over at a new site with a new focus and an actual declared purpose: OSMsauce.com
It's a simple concept. I was tired of pessimistic malcontents complaining about how humanity is doomed and how everything sucks when there are clearly a million awesome things out there that can make you stupidly happy if you just take the time to view them from all angles. So I decided I would think of one awesome person, place, thing, or concept every day and write an essay about why I think everyone should appreciate it. Sometimes I purposefully choose things that are decidedly not awesome just to act as the devil's advocate. This means that the perspective can get a tad snarky or skewed, but basically, you can put a positive spin on anything if you just look at it right. People can even submit ideas for what they think should be featured as awesome or under-appreciated or decidedly not awesome, and maybe I will spin it for you. It's almost a challenge: is there anything that can't be spun in a positive light? Probably, but I certainly won't admit defeat so easily.
I suppose the theme of the site is: unless you are living under a bridge or breathing your last breath, then you need to quit your bitchin', because things are way more awesome than you are giving them credit for, and eventually things always get better, even if they get worse first. Plus I also get to promote bands and movies and books that I like. Cuz I'm an expert at having opinions.
I've had to scale back my ambitions a tad, though. Posting daily was far too time consuming. But I've been doing pretty good, posting at least every other day or so. And with each post, the site's purpose gets more refined.
So planetdan will revert to its original purpose, which is to inform friends, family, and random internet acquaintances about what I've been up to lately or what fiasco has transpired at the gym. But obviously it won't get updated that often because I'm just not very interesting these days.
I may also spin off another site devoted more to random original content I might feel impelled to create, like my old Senior Pics site and the like. But I don't want to think about that endeavor right now.
So please visit OSMsauce.com and get OSMified.

I'm still getting used to the new digs after I moved last September. My new bathroom is awesome, and it's got a glass-block window in the shower, which I thought was way better than the old rotting pane-glass window with the rusty blinds and makeshift shower-curtain-cover at my old place.
The problem is that the glass blocks do not seem to provide the amount of privacy that I assumed they would, which I learned after I noticed my neighbor, who has the exact same glass-blocked bathroom as I do, showering in the evening. The show left very little to the imagination. What I always assumed would appear to be more like a big amorphous blob from the outside was actually closer to a slightly pixelated JPG porn pic.
Then I remembered that I generally take my showers when it's dark out. And my bathroom faces the bedroom of a 12-year-old girl. And we live on a busy street with many-a-passerby. And I've probably traumatized the entire neighborhood by now. No wonder I haven't gotten any warm-muffin welcome baskets yet.
So what's the point of glass-block shower windows then? Because they seem more suitable for peepshows than prudency. I guess it's only daytime showers for me from now on.

I had to go clean out my smooshy smooshed car at the impound lot, so I took a new picture of the damage in the daylight:
Then I had to start my new car hunt, because those bitches at the insurance company decided that they would not be funding my rental car any longer, which would have left me stranded at home and alone for the holidays.
So I got all obnoxious and self-righteous with them, threatening to hire lawyers and implying that all the stress of negotiating a settlement payment was aggravating my physical injuries. I'm sure the insurance adjuster could practically hear me chicken-heading and waving my finger on the other end of the phone, but at least I ended up getting my rental car extended past the xmas weekend. It was not exactly easy to buy a car in four days, especially when all the dealerships were closed for three of them.
So I went to ten dealerships and test-drove twenty cars and I ended up picking the one that happened to be playing Prince's Kiss as I went to take it out for a test drive, because really, I don't know anything about cars, so what else could I base my decision on?
That car turned out to be a 2011 Nissan Sentra:
For you gearheads, its an SLRPGTRZF8 or something. And I got the upgrade with the bluetoof, but really the car salesman had me at "iPod USB port." Even with my utter ignorance about cars and stuff with combustion engines, I was still able to negotiate a fairly good price.
So here's to celebrating the start of 2011 with no more bangs. And to Phil at Nissan: you should really send half of your commission to Prince.
Not-So-Sweet Deal!
C-Minus sent me this not-so-perplexing image the other day, along with the message:
"U forgot ur scarf at my house. Don't worry, I'll keep it warm."
I hope she thinks that playing that joke on me was worth the price of a new scarf.
Sweet Deal!
C-Minus sent me this perplexing image the other day:
The only rational, non-idiotic reason this sign would exist would be if it were advertising a sale on actual plastic toy quarters or something, for playing with a toy cash register perhaps. But even then, spending fifty cents on a toy quarter would seem absurd, especially when you could just use a real quarter and save fifty percent.
Animated Friday (Xmas Gif Edition)!
Posted by dan in Animated Friday, Totally Random but Decidedly Awesome on December 17, 2010
I haven't had an Animated Friday in a long time, simply because they have begun to lose their allure. There are a ton of sites devoted to animated GIFs out there, so what's the point of me posting them anymore? But then I came across this site, which renews my love of Animated GIFs by literally repackaging them for xmas:
So, go ahead and open your Christmas GIF.
If you didn't think I looked like a pedophile before…

For placing second in the unofficial Xmas Sweater contest at my work party last night, I got a prize:
It's a semi-creepy Scottish-style, Xmas-inspired Tam o' Shanter cap. If I was worried that my Snoopy-Riding-a Candy-Cane-Xmas Vest made me look like a pedophile before, then as I added the hat last night I probably sent people's pedo-meters into the red.
But, I suspect that Snoopy vest has seen it's last party, as least on my body. So I guess this won't be an issue any longer. It's still up in the air as to whether or not the Dan o' Shanter will make any future appearances.
Smooshy Smoosh
Posted by dan in Dan in Real Life on December 15, 2010
My car and I got all smooshy smooshed last night. I was just minding my own bidness when an SUV jumped the median to my left and slammed into my driver's-side door, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision. I could have easily gone through life without needing to know what an airbag feels like as it pummels your face, but I guess I'm lucky to have had the experience, if that's how you wanna look at it.
After the guy hit me, my car was forced off into a nearby snowbank, and so it took me a while to get my berrings. A witness came up and asked if I was alright, and then for some reason I started to gather all the CDs that were now scattered about my car. Eventually, the driver of the other car came over. He was a younger man of undeterminable Eastern origin, and this is how that particular conversation went:
Him: Oh man, it's slippery out there.
My Thoughts: I think I'm okay from what I can tell, thanks for asking.
Me Out Loud: Uh, yeah, I guess. You okay?
Him: I saw the red break lights in front of me and so I swerved to not hit them.
My Thoughts: You swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid rear-ending someone? Brilliant.
Me Out Loud: Oh.
Him: It's not even my car.
My Thoughts: Well this used to be my car, but I guess we should be more worried about you right now.
Me Out Loud: Oh. That sucks.
* long pause *
Him: So… do you know the laws around here?
My Thoughts: Here we go…
Me Out Loud: Ye…
Him, Cutting Me Off: Because I don't really have a license to drive.
My Thoughts: Oh Jebus.
Me Out Loud: But you got insurance right?
Him: Oh yes, I think she does.
* he looks over my car *
Him: Man, you lucky to be alive.
My Thoughts: If you don't shut up and get out of my sight you're going to be lucky to be alive.
Me Out Loud: I'm going to get out of the street and wait for the cops now.
In my limited experience, cops are generally not very amiable. It was ten below and I was freezing, and I asked if we could sit in a squad car while they wrote out the report. He just stared at me, without replying, grimmacing just enough for me to notice. Then a more civilized civil servant came over and said I could sit in the back of his squad car, usually reserved for handcuffed criminals, except the second I got in there on those hard plastic seats and with the glass divider pane right up against my face, I got super claustrophobic and I made him let me out again. I probably wasn't making any new dan fans in law enforcement.
Somehow the driver's side mirror ended up on the passenger seat floor, without smashing my face on its way over, so I was glad about that. I got a few small cuts on my hands from when the window exploded, and I can still feel where that airbag hit my face this morning, but I got no exciting bruises to show for it.
This airbag and I have a complicated love/hate relationship right now.
Now comes the worst part: dealing with the insurance agencies and trying to figure out how I'm going to get around for the next couple weeks.
Yay for Minnesota Winters!
It Snowed Last Night
Posted by dan in Dan in Real Life on December 13, 2010
It's all blizzardy up in here.
Being snowed in for the weekend was supposed to be fun, but I had too much to do, and somehow I lost my keys without ever leaving the house, which is like one of those locked-room mysteries, and everything has been a major frustration. Especially the driving, when actually being able to stop your car becomes a luxury.
A coworker told me to get some blizzacks for my car, to help with the traction. I thought he was talking like Snoop Dogg in the hizzity hizzouse or whatever, and I was all "What are blacks?" And he was all "No, I said blizzacks," and I was all "Like blizzity blizzacks?" and then there was a weird back and forth exchange where neither of us could comprehend what the other one was talking about. Finally I deduced that Blizzacks are actually a brand of tire or something.
Anyway, I need a snowday to recover from this snowday.
File Under: Too Drunk To Care
Posted by dan in Totally Random but Decidedly Awesome, Um what now? on December 11, 2010
A few years ago I went to a wax museum in Las Vegas while I was a little tipsy and took some admittedly obnoxious photos. Then I dedicated a web photo gallery to the whole experience. It never got much traffic on my site, but over the last few months I've been getting a lot of emails and comments from people having seen my photos on other websites. So I went and googled "Drunk Guy at a Wax Museum" and it looks like my image set has been making the rounds on dozens of sites across the globe.
File Under: Too Drunk to Care
All of these sites are basically vultures. They just go around stealing other people's content without any citations or links back to the original authors, most likely for the ad revenue, but also sometimes to deliver computer viruses, which is why I spent three hours removing the Antivirus Action Virus from my machine the other day (which is also why I'm not naming any of these other sites, because I don't want the same thing to happen to anyone else). That sucked, but it was fun seeing my face on sites in China and India, surrounded by language which could have been calling for fatwas against me, for all I know.
The content theft doesn't bother me all that much, since I've posted my share of uncited content, and since that's kinda the nature of the digital beast. Plus, most of those vulture sites get a lot more traffic than my little blog has ever received, which means they also get a lot more comments. And it's always fun to read what other random internet people think of me and my photo buffoonery:
The comment that tries to curse me with the haunting of dead celebrities is pretty awesome. That one took some effort. Here are some from another site:
I guess the "look at me" generation is better than "Generation X" or whatever. Reality Bites, man. But I do have my defenders as well (I apologize in advance for the language. Apparently I have some fans on the Jersey Shore.):
Allow me to repost that as text, to make it easier to read so that everyone can appreciate its eloquence:
i agree, this guy looks fun as fuck ! also, bitches need to shut up! always fuckin cryin about something i swear. i wanna play with the boys why are the boys mean wahhhh!! stfu !!!!!!!!!!! im a heterosexual girl and i cant stand a bitch boy omg! ……………………………………….boys are fun! shut up! playing w/ boys is fun!! go away if you want to make your fucking female points .. so irritating….. you know seriously, this is why women get no respect. because of your fucking whining everytime you try playing with the big kids man. this is the fucking internet… i dont know you people and i dont care about your whiny female feelings ! honestly! theres shit you girls say sometimes on here -funny as fuck- but then i gotta look at the whininess .. lovely. rubber dog turds was correct. the boys laugh it off, the girls have to cry . i wonder what delights will be said about this, if it isnt too late. what shit will be said by the girls for my complaints here… considering im also a bitch…. i wonder………
Again, sorry for the language. The rampant vulgarities are clearly nothing more than a symptom of her unrestrainable passion. And although that part about rubber dog turds is a little out of nowhere, I agree with her sentiment completely: Bitches be trippin'. And the one reply to her comment was totally cruel and unwarranted:
Does this outfit make me look like a pedophile?
Posted by dan in Dan in Real Life on December 11, 2010
I bought an ugly xmas sweater off eBay the other day to wear to my company xmas party this year. Then, as a practice run I wore it to a friendly holiday get-together last weekend, and rather than chuckles and smiles I got winces and stinkeyes. Eventually someone admitted what everyone else was thinking: my funky xmas sweater made me look like a pedophile.
I don't see it. Is it the Snoopys riding candy canes? The peppermint piping? The feminine cut? The oversized fit? Maybe it's all in their own perverse minds, but now I'm nervous about wearing it to my work party next week.

I made a Snowdan for the cover, and he's catching snowflakes on his tongue, which I know is a tad creepy in a cannabilistic General-Cinemas-animated-Pepsi-cup-drinking-herself-before-a-movie kind of way, if that makes any sense, but doesn't he look like he's having fun?

text: Hello APUG community, My name is Max and I've decided to join this forum after having spent quite a while just reading the posts. I come from France (the title is not a mistake), but this year I'm living in Quebec city, Canada for my last year of studies in geography (hence my name). Next year I will be starting a thesis back in France. I did quite a bit of film shooting a few years back, developing in my parents bathroom. I then dropped the cameras bit by bit to concentrate on other aspects of my life (mostly studying and mountain climbing). But photography has always been in the back of my mind, and now I have a little more time and money, I am eager to hop back into the trade. I bought a P&S digital camera a few months ago, fine for sending pictures to friends by email and looking at them on my little laptop. But I just can't get my head around the whole process from the camera to a nice print (and don't want to either). So I am looking to build myself a system the will take me through the years and when I go back home this summer I will start putting up a darkroom in MY bathroom. Thats about it, Max

Effective strategies to fight the epidemic of childhood and adolescent obesity one-third of kids under 20 weigh more than they should -- have been elusive. A new study suggests a simple step that might help cut the problem down to size: start school sooner.
Early admission to a school environment might have a long-term protective effect in terms of adolescent girls propensity to obesity, says the study appearing online in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
The researchers analyzed data on nearly 6,000 girls from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, which included when they started school and their body mass index (BMI) from ages 12 to 18.
They found that girls who were born a month or less before the cutoff date for school enrollment and so started school when younger than most of their classmates were significantly less likely to be overweight during adolescence than those who were born during the month after cutoff.
Children who enrolled in school a year later than when they first became eligible similarly were more apt to be overweight than those who started on time.
The researchers did not find a comparable effect for adolescent boys.
Why school entrance age should influence weight 10 years later is not clear from the data, said lead study author Ning Zhang, Ph.D., of Rochester University School of Medicine. One possibility is peer effect: Within any grade, younger girls may be exposed to relatively older friends, who are more careful about their weight and physical appearance, she said.
Physical and health education curricula in the United States are grade specific, Zhang added, with more detailed and sophisticated health and diet instruction offered in higher grades. Girls who are young for their grade have earlier exposure to this information and participate in more advanced physical exercise regimens as well.
Matt Longjohn, M.D., is a fellow with the Altarum Institute, a non-profit health systems research organization. Longjohn said that the study findings might reflect the cumulative impact of early childhood events years later and added that considerable research has shown that changes in just a few small behaviors can have large and lasting effects on small bodies.

ANAHEIM -- Was Bryan Murray trying to defend his players, or did he let them off the hook?
That debate was taking place yesterday at the Stanley Cup final after the Senators coach fired shots at the officials following the club's 3-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 1 on Monday night.
Upset with the way the Ducks were allowed to hook, hold and obstruct, Murray said Tuesday he was going to instruct the Senators to do same thing in Game 2 last night at the Honda Center.
Many felt Murray was making a poor excuse for the fact the Senators didn't respond physically to the Ducks, who are going to try to run Ottawa out of the rink, if that is what it takes to bring home the Stanley Cup.
But some observers were impressed by the fact that Murray stood up for his team, just as former Maple Leafs coach Pat Quinn used to during all those playoff defeats for Ottawa with coach Jacques Martin behind the bench in the Battle of Ontario.
Quinn was relentless in his attack on the officials during those playoff series. He would spend an entire news conference talking about how dirty the Senators were and missed calls and make a mockery of the referees for as long as reporters kept asking questions. That's what made Murray's comments Tuesday so reminiscent of Quinn.
Murray, 64, has long been known as a guy who is always talking to the officials, calling them to the bench to let them know what they've missed and he doesn't like it when he doesn't get satisfaction.
"I asked one of the officials (something on Monday) and he told me to go stand behind the bench," Murray said. "So, it's very hard for me to do anything other than stand behind the bench and hope that somebody recognizes that there are levels that we've been told you play at, and it is called accordingly. But I can't answer for the officials."
Will it work? Well, that won't be decided until the end of the series, but you can bet the people at the NHL's head office took note of Murray's comments. They are probably not happy, but the Ducks might be getting a little more attention the longer the final lasts.
Anaheim's vice-president of hockey operations, Bob Murray, could be returning to a role as GM at the end of the Cup final.
The Columbus Dispatch reported yesterday that Murray, 52, a former GM of the Chicago Blackhawks, is the leading candidate to take the top job with the Blue Jackets. Murray is one of four candidates for the job and is expected to have a second interview with owner John H. McConnell today in Columbus before continuing on to Ottawa.
While Anaheim president/GM Brian Burke appreciates having Murray on his staff, the Ducks won't stand in his way if he wants a better opportunity and Murray already was passed up in favour of Don Maloney for the job with the Phoenix Coyotes.
Former Rangers GM Neil Smith is also considered a top candidate along with interim GM Jim Clark.
President/GM Doug MacLean was fired by the Jackets at the end of the season and the club wants someone who will be able to work with coach Ken Hitchcock. Insiders say Murray and Hitchcock have a strong relationship
Six top prospects for the NHL draft -- Kyle Turris (Burnaby, BCHL), Patrick Kane (London, OHL), James van Riemsdyk (USDP), Keaton Ellerby (Kamloops, WHL), Karl Alzner (Calgary, WHL) and Sam Gagner (London, OHL) -- were on hand for a luncheon here with the media yesterday.
Many believe the Blackhawks are going to use the first pick on June 22 in Columbus to select Kane, a 5-foot-9 winger. But, it's believed Hawks GM Dale Tallon is listening to offers for the pick because his club needs immediate help. If the Hawks hang on to the pick, the Flyers are leaning towards Turris.
Gagner, the son of former NHLer Dave Gagner, said he grew up a Sabres fan, but wouldn't mind being picked by the team just down the road from London.
"I'd love to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs," said Gagner. "I'm from the area and they are close by."

There are tens of thousands of acres of dead or missing trees in the Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite National Park after last year's Rim Fire.
The fire burned through 257,000 acres, with the biggest patch of dead trees burnt up to the tops clocking in at 60,000 acres.
And replanting all that might make things worse, according to some scientists.
The drought has been good for some denizens of the California forest. The dry spell has actually helped areas torched last year by the Rim Fire. There were no winter storms, so that meant no erosion to wash away the shrubs and ferns, according to KQED.
Replacing the trees will take more time and work, however -- and scientists are wondering if aggressive replanting won't welcome the next fire. The fire spread fast through young trees replanting 20-25 years ago following an earlier fire, the news source reported.
Planting trees "plantation-style" -- in neat easy rows -- probably won't be the answer. Some experts are advocating patterns found in nature that find some clumps of trees and some gaps, the news source reported.

Dear reader,
On Sunday, we asked readers to comment about what happens after the election. In our letter to the readers, here is part of what we wrote:
"No matter who the winners are, can we get along? How does the nation move forward? What do the next two or four years look like? (And not just in Washington but in Carson City.)"
We saw a vigorous debate on the website, and we received several emails from readers outlining their thoughts. Here is a sampling of the comments we received, and the word cloud above represents some of that commentary. As the election starts to fade, the questions become more relevant.
We'd love to have your thoughts as part of the discussion. Send them to: [email protected], or care of Letters to the Editor, Las Vegas Sun, 2360 Corporate Circle, Third Floor, Henderson, NV 89074.
You have to wonder if, after all the energy expended on the election campaign, there's any gas left in the tank for actually solving problems.
Either way, most of us will continue chopping wood and carrying water.
— Pisces41 (Jim Weber)
Sorry that my expectations are low. I think there will be continued accusations, anger, blaming and complaining about whoever is in the White House and Congress.
It is almost a national sport now.
— peacelily
If we are to return to a decent rate of growth, rising wages and more employment, we have to have compromise in our legislatures, both national and at the state level. This compromising will have to be led by the president and state governors and be supported by a majority of the American people.
Tough decisions, such as raising taxes for everyone and a real commitment to reducing spending must be a part of any plan.
I understand that Obama and Romney must push the fairy tale that no sacrifice will be necessary during a campaign, but I hope both realize that it is a fairy tale and once elected, they drop it and tell us the truth, ugly though it is.
— wtplv (Michael Casler)
Our country will be just fine regardless of who wins the presidency. The USA moves by its own momentum thanks in large part to our Founders who designed our system of government to do so. And thanks to Americans who have an unwavering love and respect our great country.
— CarmineD (Carmine DiFazio)
As long as the victory by either side is outside of the margin of voter suppression, the results should give enough impetus to get the debt situation addressed and a viable plan started.
The middle should dictate policy for a while, whoever wins.
"How does the nation move forward?"
It depends upon the middle of America getting activated. The hard-core members in both parties are likely to stay entrenched.
"What do the next two or four years look like?"
It depends upon the congresses in the federal government and state government, if they look at the future as the glass half full or half empty. The other end of the equation is: Will Christians accept that God is in control and will they support either winner? If they stand hard against Obama or trample everyone in a Romney win ...
— JeffFromVegas
I expect the outright hatred between the two major parties to continue to increase no matter who wins. Too many people have accepted the belief that there can be only two major parties, and that a third party is a waste of time.
There is a great need for another party to rise up that can bring in people from both the Democrats and Republicans who are not being properly represented by those platforms.
I see the situation only getting worse until the moderates from both parties join up with those who are truly independents to build up a third major party.
— boftx
Time and again we hear from the media that the United States Congress is "broken" and can't get anything done. When are the media going to start getting this right? Congress is not "broken." A small faction of extreme right-wing Republicans has produced the stalemate in Washington, D.C. that we are all too familiar with. As just one example, look at how a small faction of Republicans in Congress threw a wrench in disaster relief legislation, yet the media blamed all of Congress.

College graduates better hope McDonald's still has openings and their parents don't sell the house and move to a smaller home in Sun City. They may have a great college education, but the job market will not improve.

Campaign reform. Billions of dollars spent, thousands of half-truths or no-truth-at-all ads being run on TV and in periodicals ad nauseam. Take the money out of the process, and give the voters honest opinions and statements of positive information on which they can base their decisions.
— Merle M.
I believe whoever wins this election should try and work for the benefit of the people. Not the benefit of the party. This will be difficult.
It has been proven that the Republican Party has driven a wedge between the parties. This has caused myself and others to switch over and vote Democrat. For me, this is the first time in 44 years that I have voted for a Democrat for president.
— samspeaks (Sam Pizzo)
We need a new Congress, not a new president!

Good Points
Screen size, looks great, sounds great.
Bad Points
A little panning but it's a rear pro and they all do it.
General Comments
Wow what a fab TV, the pictures are great, colours are crisp and bright and DVD's wow crystal clear pictures. The Toshiba 46WM48 comes with its own stand, which is fantastic, its HDTV Ready, and I can't wait for them to switch off analogue and give us Hi Def TV bring it on. You can link this TV to your PC and you can download Hi Def trailers then you can see what this TV is really capable of, and believe me it will blow you away. You can buy this TV from high street shops like Comet but you will be looking to spend £2000, I myself got it off the internet and paid £1500, with the money I saved I bought a Denon DHT 500 home cinema Wow, but that's a different review. For the true home cinema screen his is a great one.

What Unrestricted Free Agent Vladimir Radmanović Brings to the NBAOctober 9, 2011
Vladimir Radmanović of Serbia was drafted in the 2001 NBA Draft lottery by the Seattle SuperSonics. Radmanović was drafted due to his shooting ability (extending out to the three-point line) for a big man. At the time, NBA teams were really looking to bring in international players through the draft that could help extend the offense.
During his four-and-a-half years with the Sonics, he became an accurate three-point shooter off the bench while averaging a career-high 12.0 points while appearing in 77 games during the 2003-04 NBA season. He helped the team during the playoffs as well as had a game in the 2004-05 regular season against the Los Angeles Lakers where he made eight three-pointers.
Rather than sign a six-year contract extension with the Sonics, Radmanović signed a one-year contract making him an unrestricted free-agent in 2006.
Radmanović was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Chris Wilcox, and as a result, saw his game improve some more during his short stint with the team. He went on to average 5.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists per game and 1.0 steal as well.
Radmanović wanted to be a starter even though the Clippers did make an official long-term offer to him which he eventually refused.
However, during the summer of 2006, Radmanović signed a five-year contract worth about $31M with the Los Angeles Lakers since he would be given the opportunity to start for a team that has won multiple NBA championships.
While his tenure with the Lakers lasted for two-and-a-half years, he saw his numbers fall and was once again given a bench role. With multiple years left on his contract, and having fallen out of the rotation, the Lakers dealt Radmanović for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown.
In Charlotte, Radmanović saw his scoring increase slightly while playing with a very young team. Once again, his time with the Bobcats was short, as he was traded to the Golden State Warriors on November 16, 2009 along with Raja Bell in exchange for Stephen Jackson and Acie Law IV.
As a member of the Golden State Warriors, Radmanović saw his minutes increase in his first season with the team. During the 2010-11 NBA season, he saw his minutes and scoring average drop to the lowest of his NBA career.
Now an unrestricted free agent, Vladimir Radmanović can once again choose who he wishes to sign with. After spending 10 years in the NBA and posting a 38.1 three-point shooting percentage, he should be able to find another suitor when the current NBA lockout is lifted.
He has made some bad choices during his career, and has also dealt with various injuries that caused him to fall out of the regular rotation while with the Lakers, but he is a dead-eye shooter that can help out any of the NBA teams.
He will also have to settle for less money, meaning that he should expect no more than a one- or two-year contract offer from teams depending on what the terms of the collective bargaining agreement state.
If he chooses not to further continue his NBA career, he will most likely look to play professional basketball in Europe.
