The present invention relates to the field of inflatable support systems, which may include air mattresses and inflation control thereof.
Most everyone has faced the need for an extra bed or mattress at some time in their life. Air mattresses, originally introduced many years ago, have allowed homeowners and others to provide their guests with a surface more comfortable than sleeping on the floor, while not imposing the same storage requirements on the homeowner as traditional mattresses.
While air mattresses are a significant improvement over sleeping on the ground or curled up on a sofa, the mattresses still have many problems. For example, original air mattress designs were often clunky and uncomfortable, the manufacturing techniques and materials used resulted in poor air retention, the inflation and deflation systems employed with such mattresses often required significant time and effort, and the mattresses tended to provide only marginal support.
Some in the prior art, such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,977,633, issued to Robert B. Chaffee on Dec. 18, 1990 ("the Chaffee patent"), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,495, issued to Yaw-Yuan Hsu, et al. on Oct. 5, 1999 ("the Hsu patent"), have attempted to address some of these shortcomings. By way of example, the Chaffee patent teaches the use of a large, manually operated pressure release valve to speed deflation. The Chaffee patent also teaches the inclusion of a small cylinder around which a deflated bed can be rolled, further simplifying deflation. This same arrangement also allows the bed to automatically unroll while being inflated, which also simplifies the inflation process. The Chaffee patent also illustrates the inclusion of an electric motor, which speeds the inflation process.
The Hsu patent attempts to address some of the comfort problems typically associated with air mattresses. The Hsu patent uses tube beams inside a mattress to provide additional lateral load support. These tube beams are separate structures which are added to the inside of the mattress and are attached to the upper and lower mattress surfaces through a sinusoidal sealing pattern in an attempt to provide further rigidity to the mattress.
Despite advances in the art, no one marketed an inflatable mattress that approximates the height of a traditional bed. Instead, a person sleeping on one of these mattresses still has the perception of sleeping on the floor. In addition, getting into and out of such a bed can be difficult, especially for an elderly or disabled person. An inflatable mattress that more closely approximates the dimensions of a traditional bed would therefore be advantageous.
Another problem commonly encountered by inflatable mattress users is the propensity for such mattresses to roll over. Rollovers are not only a problem with inflatable mattresses, but with all lightweight support surfaces, such as inflatable furniture. Some in the prior art, such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,161,902, issued to Marvin S. Lieberman on Dec. 19, 2000 (the Lieberman patent); the "Game Day Minute Chair" by Aero Products International, Inc. of Wauconda, Ill.; and the "Retro Air Chair" by Intex Recreation Corporation of Long Beach, Calif., have used multiple, inflatable cylindrical tubes to improve the stability of inflatable chairs.
While the stabilization methods employed in the prior art can improve overall chair stability, each has shortcomings, especially when applied to other support systems. For example, the Lieberman patent teaches the installation of a U shaped inflatable tube underneath the front of a chair and a small, inflatable tube which extends along and is immovably attached to the rear base of the chair. Each of these tubes is also inflated separately from and to a higher pressure than the body of the chair. The increased pressure of these tubes strengthens the base of the chair, thus reducing the likelihood of rollover. While this approach has some merit, the introduction of separately inflatable tubes means added work for the consumer, who must move an inflation device from one valve to another until the chair is properly filled.
The Game Day Minute Chair and Retro Air Chair apply alternative stabilization techniques. In both cases, two small, inflatable stabilizer bars, no more than fifteen inches long and approximately six inches in diameter when inflated, are attached to the base of the chair to increase the surface area covered by the chair. These stabilizer bars are attached to the chair through narrow, short inflator tubes(three and one half inches long by one and one half inches wide in the case of the Game Day Minute Chair). The inflator tubes allow the stabilizer bars to be in fluid communication with the chair bodies and to be filled with air as the chair is filled. The increased surface area created by the combination of the inflator tubes and the stabilizer bars provides more stability by distributing the weight over a larger area.
As with the Lieberman patent, the shape and position of the stabilizer bars employed on these chairs also strengthens the chair body where the stabilizer bars contact the chair. However, such strengthening is only provided to areas adjacent to the tubes. While this may be practical for inflatable support systems with smaller weight bearing surfaces, such as chairs, a few, relatively short stabilizer bars will not provide stability for larger inflatable support systems, such as inflatable mattresses.
Another problem faced by inflatable support systems of the prior art is structural stability of the sides of the support system. The shape of the side tends to distort as weight is applied at or near the edge of the support system. Such distortion can cause a person to slip or fall from the support surface, increasing potential liability on the part of the support system manufacturer. Obviously, this becomes increasingly significant as the height of the support system is increased. A means of improving the structural stability of the side of the mattress is therefore preferable as height is increased.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an increased height inflatable support system that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
An object of the present invention is to improve the structural stability of the support system sides.
Another object of the invention is to reduce the likelihood of support system rolling over.
A further object of the invention is to increase overall support system height to more closely approximate the height of a standard bed.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is an increased height inflatable mattress. This increased height can improve the perceived comfort of the mattress, as it allows a user to feel more like they are sleeping on a traditional bed. The increased height is achieved by vertically stacking two or more inflatable chambers. In a preferred embodiment, these stacked chambers are in fluid communication with each other, such that all chambers can be inflated from a single valve. In an alternative embodiment, the stacked chambers may be separately inflatable.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by including one or more stabilizer bars and one or more support chambers. Stabilizer bars reduce the likelihood of support system rollovers by effectively increasing the surface area across which weight added to a support system is distributed. In a preferred embodiment, stabilizer bars are flexibly attached to a support system along one or more sides, and at or near the bottom of the support system. In one embodiment, stabilizer bars can be in fluid communication with the support system, thereby allowing the stabilizer bars to be inflated as the support system is inflated. In an alternative embodiment, stabilizer bars may be comprised of separately inflatable chambers. In still another embodiment, stabilizer bars may be constructed such that a rigid or semi-rigid material, such as, but not limited to, plastic or cardboard, can be engaged into a holder, such as a sleeve, attached to the support system.
The support chamber portion of the preferred embodiment is an inflatable chamber which is attached to the side walls of the support system. In one embodiment, support chambers can be attached at any chamber junctions within a support system. The shape and position of the support chambers allows the support chambers to reinforce chamber junction edges, thereby increasing the strength of the overall support system.
In a preferred embodiment, all inflatable chambers of the support system are in either direct or indirect fluid communication with other chambers of the support system. This can allow the support system to be inflated from a single motor, with the simple flip of a switch. In an alternative embodiment, some or all inflatable chambers may be separately inflatable, thereby allowing each chamber to be filled to a unique pressure.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the mattress embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 4.
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the internal structure of a mattress embodiment of the present invention. As FIG. 1 illustrates, the presently preferred embodiment is comprised of two support chambers, 20 and 21, stacked vertically. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, upper chamber 20 is constructed with side gussets approximately ten inches high, and lower chamber 21 is constructed with side gussets approximately fifteen inches high. It should be clear to one skilled in the art that alternative side gusset heights and chamber arrangements could be substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. By way of example, FIG. 7 illustrates the use of multiple upper chambers.
As FIG. 1 illustrates, a motorized pump 10 is attached to upper chamber 20. Pump 10 should be powerful enough to fill the entire support system with a gas or fluid, such as air, such that upper chamber 20 can provide comfortable support to a user. Inflation of the support system can begin by pressing a button on or near pump 10, as is illustrated by button 23 in FIG. 3. Pump 10 may automatically stop inflating the support system when the pressure within the support system reaches a limit selectable by a user. In addition, should a user desire to gradually decrease the pressure within the support system, a user simply activates a push-button valve, illustrated as valve 27 in FIG. 3. Pump 10 may also monitor support system air pressure and automatically add additional air if the pressure falls below a level selected by a user.
Air entering upper chamber 20 may flow to lower chamber 21 through a series of reinforced holes 11. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, holes 12 allow stabilizer bars 13 to be in fluid communication with lower chamber 21. FIG. 1 also illustrates the use of support chamber 14 to reinforce the junction between upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21. In the preferred support system embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9, chamber 14 runs circumferentially around the support system at the junction between upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21.
Again referring to FIG. 1, upper chamber 20, lower chamber 21, stabilizer bars 13, and support chamber 14 are preferably made from heavy weight (preferably 18 gauge) polyvinylchloride (PVC) or other watertight and airtight material. PVC may be preferably attached to PVC or other material by electronically "welding" the PVC to the other material, although other attachment means, such through a chemical bond or by stitching edges of each sheet together, may also be used. Such an attachment means may be used, for example, to join the top of a chamber with the side of a chamber or to add a layer of fabric, padding, flocking, or other material (collectively "fabric") to the PVC.
Within upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21, PVC strips 15 can be attached to the inner surface of the top and bottom of each chamber, illustrated as 18 and 19. Such PVC strips 15 create channels, which help to shape and structurally reinforce upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21. It should be apparent to one skilled in the art that alternative chamber support architectures, such as the "coil construction" technique known in the art, may be employed without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the internal structure of a mattress embodiment of the present invention, also illustrating the flow of air or other fluid inside said mattress. As FIG. 2 illustrates, air enters the support system at pump 10 and travels through the channels created by PVC strips 15 within upper chamber 20. PVC strips 15 are preferably shaped such that air is able to flow past the ends of PVC strips 15, thereby allowing air to circulate within upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21.
As upper chamber 20 inflates, air can enter lower chamber 21 through holes 11. A preferred embodiment uses four such holes, each of which is approximately three quarters of an inch in diameter. Each hole 11 is substantially centered within a circular weld four inches in diameter, where such a weld can also serve to attach upper chamber 20 to lower chamber 21. It should be obvious to one skilled in the art that other hole arrangements, including, but not limited to, fewer holes of a larger size, or more holes of a smaller size, may also be used.
While such alternative hole arrangements may be used, it was found during product development that the placement of holes 11 is important for proper durability and inflation. Specifically, it was found that placing holes 11 in the outermost channel of upper chamber 20 tended to result in tears along PVC strips 15 in lower chamber 21. Locating holes 11 in the second channel from the end has proved to generate the least number of tears in PVC strips 15 while stilling allowing rapid inflation of both upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21.
As lower chamber 21 inflates, air can also flow into stabilizer bars 13. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, air can flow into and out of stabilizer bars 13 through a series of holes 12. FIG. 8 illustrates a preferred stabilizer bar embodiment, in which stabilizer bar 13 is in fluid communication with lower chamber 21 through two short tubes 25. While the position of tubes 25 does not impact the ability of stabilizer bar 13 to inflate, tubes 25 are preferably located approximately one and one half inches from the ends of stabilizer bar 13. As illustrated in both FIG. 2 and FIG. 8, stabilizer bars 13 are flexibly attached to the side gusset of lower chamber 21, preferably near the bottom of the side gusset.
While FIG. 2 illustrates the use of a single stabilizer bar of a length substantially equal to the length of the support system, alternative stabilizer bar arrangements can also be envisioned. For example, FIG. 6 provides an alternative perspective view of a mattress embodiment of the present invention employing multiple stabilizer bars. It should be noted that, unlike the stabilizer bars used in the prior art, the stabilizer bar arrangements employed by the present invention provide stabilization along almost the entire length of at least one side of the support system.
FIG. 2 also illustrates a preferred inflation means for support chamber 14. As FIG. 2 illustrates, support chamber 14 is in fluid communication with lower chamber 21 through a series of holes 16. In a preferred embodiment, holes 16 are approximately three quarters of an inch in diameter, and are substantially centered in reinforced PVC.
In an alternative embodiment, support chamber 14 may receive air from upper chamber 20. In still another embodiment, support chamber 14 may be in fluid communication with both upper chamber 20 and lower chamber 21. In yet another embodiment, support chamber 14 may be separately inflatable, thereby allowing support chamber 14 to be inflated to a pressure greater than the pressure in the remaining support system.
FIG. 3 is a front planar view of a mattress embodiment of the present invention. As FIG. 3 illustrates, an one or more layers of fabric 17 may be added to the outside of upper chamber 20 in a preferred support system embodiment. While it is preferred that fabric 17 be laminated to upper chamber 20, additional attachment means, such as, but not limited to, chemical adhesives, electronic welding, or sewing, may also be used.
FIG. 4 is a rear planar view of a mattress embodiment of the present invention which highlights valve 24. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, valve 24 is located substantially in the center of lower chamber 21 at the end opposite from which pump 10 is attached to upper chamber 20. This arrangement is preferred, as it allows the weight of the support system to force air through valve 24. This, in turn, allows the support system to be quickly deflated for storage. The arrangement of valve 24 with respect to pump 10 is more clearly illustrated in FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is an alternative perspective view of a mattress embodiment of the present invention, illustrating the use of multiple upper chambers 20. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 7, said upper chambers can be in fluid communication with lower chamber 21. In an alternative embodiment, upper chambers 20 may be separately inflatable, allowing users to select a desired firmness for each upper chamber. In this embodiment, air from pump 10 may be redirected into either or both upper chambers 20 by enabling or disabling one or more valves 26 connected to each chamber (illustrated in FIG. 3).
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the mattress embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIG. 4. In addition to illustrating a preferred stabilizer chamber 14 embodiment, FIG. 9 also illustrates the use of an additional chamber 27. In this embodiment, chamber 27 does not have a side gusset, which results in a rounded outer edge 28. In addition, chamber 27 has dimensions substantially equal to those of chamber 20. Chamber 27 can also be welded to give chamber 27 a quilted appearance, and chamber 27 can be covered with flocking or other material to give chamber 27 a velvety soft texture. Through the addition of such a chamber 27, support system as a whole can more closely approximate the look and feel of a traditional bed.
Through the arrangements set forth above, the present invention provides an increased height support system that yields increased comfort, added stability, and improved structural integrity over the prior art.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Unanswered: Error (3146) ODBC --call failed
I'm got a situation where I run a set of reports for different areas. Most of the areas work but some I get this error.
Error (3146) ODBC --call failed.In this case I'm having access call an Oracle database.
[Oracle][OCBC][Ora]ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments.
Suggestions that I found would include refreshing the link or dropping the table and adding it again. I've tried both.
This isn't a single machine issue, it is happening network wide.
Any suggestions?

I might try re-creating the ODBC DSN. Also make sure that you don't have an ODBC DSN connecting to the same db by another ODBC DSN name. You want all users/computers that are connecting to the db to have the EXACT same ODBC DSN name. A mispelled (or spelled slightly different) ODBC DSN for one user/computer can cause problems for others. (but this usually causes problems for some users and not others).
If that isn't the problem, I might try running any dbcc checkdb type commands on the Oracle server against the db (I'm not sure what the Oracle commands are to check the db.) This seems more likely since you said it's for all users.
Lastly, when you link the tables, make sure the "Save Password" check box is checked when linking (although this wouldn't cause the problems you noted.)
If all else fails, you could also try creating a File DSN versus a System DSN.Expert Database Programming
MSAccess since 1.0, SQL Server since 6.5, Visual Basic (5.0, 6.0)

Thank you for the reply. The issue was one of the tables needed to be rebuilt. It was an issue with how one of the joins was working. The issue in my mind still is that some of the larger reports I ran worked fine but a lot of the smaller ones where the issue.
Thank you again

ODBC problems
I have found that refreshing the link to one table in the linked table manager sometimes resolves the issue but only for a short while.
Please advise.

I Googled "error 3146" and got this page as first result,
so I propose here a link to a solution for meaningless generic message
"Error 3146: ODBC--call failed":
How To Get More Information on the ODBC Call Failed Error
They propose to use a special error handler like this:
' DAO Error Handler
Dim MyError As Error
Debug.print Errors.Count
For Each MyError In DBEngine.Errors
With MyError
MsgBox .Number & " " & .Description
End With
Next MyError
I found it very usefull

One freak is just a freak;
two freaks are a dangerous game;
three freaks may make a lame show;
it will need at least 5 freaks to make a party!
so let the party started!
@ Afroman
you wasted a number haha
Nikkie Baby, if it takes 5 freaks to make a party then I guess we're more than complete :) By your 5 phases, your head count is 5... I hope you can defend them all ;)
@Dando Z, Throstan Fries (now known as 小虎), Uncle DD, Yes Sir, JZ, GodFather, Desmond, Mr G, BedTyger, stephanie, Kay, Jane, Mike, Ekki, etc - shame on you all if you don't take your place among forum freaks and trollers :D ...
A once in a lifetime opportunity is waiting for you, You cannot escape this one. The angels are watching...
4) Neoliberalism is neither new nor liberal.
Though I'm sure I've got enough piss in me to go all the way, I must respectfully decline any further invitations to the advanced rounds. I'll be amongst my troll-kin in the lower penninsula of Michigan for the next month.
Is there going to be sex at this party?
@ Dando Z - Your ID phrase is so reasonable, At last I would have something political to argue about :D
@ Ming - Action water holes as usual will be available. However, you're adviced to leave your 3rd legs at home... Except in extreme cases
@ You - numbers will determine if it's just a dinner gathering or bigger party with open forun item. Get your sloppy asses headcounted
There used to be suggestion of wlib cage fights... I always hoped Sun would dress up in a big inflatable ball and spout party rhetoric while I beat him mercilessly, so I could feel like I was beating the party.
Oh c'mon Mike, it's all in good fun. I threaten to bang Dando on a frequent basis, but it's really mostly platonic.
Hihi I kinda miss Sun too :) Whatever happened to him, Throstan Fries is surely to blame
@ Mike - What are you babbling so much about? You should realise you're just one person (and not better than the rest of the freaks here) so your presence / absence makes no difference... Calm it down baby, the angels are watching...:)
@ You - Take your time, do what you have to do, it doesn't come so soon but it's your chance to let the online forum rest for a few hours while you make your points out there. BTW, Other forum freaks from bjstuff and thebeijinger will be there, so you can expand your network of freaks :)
No.1 passion is a virgin like he said... virgin is thinking too much these days...
Mike, godfapper and badtyper are just trolls like the rest of us. Sure, they're online expression is absolutely fucking retarded, but in real life they're probably pretty cool.
As for the fights, I call Ali for my corner, but I can't remember what his damn screenname is on here.
@ Stephanie - I don't wanna loose my virginity that's why I only think too much, but not do too much... Isn't that a good idea? ;)
@ John... and now about freaks who belong to the 3 categories? :)... how can we measure their agressiveness? in fact it's a major concern :

Jurgen Klopp had the perfect response to people getting carried away with Sadio Mane's red hot form
It has only been two games, but Sadio Mane already looks like he will justify the £34m transfer fee Liverpool spent on the Senegalese attacker.
Mane was sublime in his competitive debut away to Arsenal on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, scoring a solo screamer during Liverpool's 4-3 win. He then missed last Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Burnley, where the Liverpool attack struggled to break down the promoted side in his absence.
Mane returned to the starting line-up for the EFL Cup second round clash against Championship outfit Burton Albion last night, and he was sensational.
The ex-Southampton man laid on two easy goals for his team-mates and was heavily involved in two others as Jurgen Klopp's men eased to a 5-0 win.
Liverpool fans were understandably excited in the aftermath but Klopp defused the hype with a typically charismatic one liner.
"It's not that we have to pat ourselves on the back every day at signing him," he told Press Association sport.
"I really like this player, but I don't like to talk too much after only two games for him.
"We knew of his qualities and how they fit our style, which is why we brought him here."
Klopp may not want any kudos just yet for landing Mane, but if he continues to shine in a Liverpool jersey, there will be plenty of Reds fans lining up to praise the German boss.

BOSTON -- To understand the magnitude of Sunday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals, you probably don't need any numbers such as the winner of Game 5 in a best-of-seven series tied at two games apiece goes on to win the series 83.3 percent of the time (130 of 156).
It's pretty obvious that with the Finals down to a best-of-three series, the team that prevails when the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers clash Sunday night (8 ET, ABC) at TD Garden is likely to win this series. No guarantee, but, as history supports, quite likely.
So here are five things to watch for when the teams lock horns:
Balance is good, but
The Celtics accomplished a fairly remarkable feat in Thursday's 96-89 Game 4 triumph by becoming only the fourth team in the past 25 years to win a Finals game without having anyone score at least 20 points.
Paul Pierce paced Boston with 19 as the team put six players in double figures. The only other teams to accomplish that feat were the 2007 Spurs (Game 3 vs. Cavaliers), 2005 Pistons (Game 4 vs. Spurs) and 1994 Knicks (Game 2 vs. the Rockets).
But according to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is par for the course for Boston. Since the Big Three was formed, the Celtics have won 30 regular-season games in which their leading scorer had fewer than 20 points, easily the highest total in the NBA in that span.
Now, all that said, it wouldn't hurt the Celtics to get their entire Big Three going, and maybe get two of its members over that 20-point barrier. Whether it's counting on Kevin Garnett for 25 points in the post or hoping Ray Allen can rekindle some of that 3-point magic from Game 2, Boston needs to be able to lean on its Big Three, and if all three players are on their game, things get that much easier for the Green.
Pierce connected on 7 of 11 shots in Game 4 -- his best shooting performance against Ron Artest this series -- and point guard Rajon Rondo suggested the Celtics were trying to get Pierce going even more before the bench took over in the fourth quarter.
Asked Saturday how the team can get him going again in Game 5, Pierce smiled and said, "Just get me the ball, like Keyshawn Johnson."
The Celtics have benefited from a relatively quiet series from Kobe Bryant, but you have to think he's going to get hot before this is over. It's up to the Big Three to likewise heat up.
TA the stopper
Speaking of Bryant, Celtics reserve guard Tony Allen has been dubbed Bryant's kryptonite for his ability to at least slow him down through four games. That has left Celtics coach Doc Rivers uneasy, fearing that Bryant could draw extra motivation from the mere suggestion that a Boston backup -- of all people -- is capable of shutting him down.
"Kobe is pretty competitive, from what I hear," Rivers joked Saturday. "So there's no doubt that, the more you talk about it, the more the target is on. But that's fine. The one thing I know about Tony, he's not going anywhere. He'll be there."
And when Allen has been there, Bryant hasn't been able to generate easy offense.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, when Allen is his primary defender, Bryant has scored a mere 20 points on 26.6 percent shooting with zero uncontested shots. What's more, Bryant has had a touch on only 79.5 percent of those possessions (73 total).
Against all other defenders, Bryant has scored 93 points on 42.4 percent shooting with eight uncontested shots. Bryant has had a touch on 88 percent of those possessions (234 total).
The fourth quarter of Game 4 illustrated Bryant's struggles, as he went 1-for-5 on eight touches against Allen over 17 Lakers possessions.
Allen described his preparation Saturday, noting that it starts in the film room, then carries over to the game, where coming off the bench aids him.
"I'm able to take what [assistant coach Tom Thibodeau] and Ray [Allen] tell me and take that out on the floor with me," Allen said.
In a series in which Boston's bench has overachieved, highlighted by the exploits of Glen Davis and Nate Robinson in Game 4, the Celtics need more of the same from Tony Allen, especially on the defensive side against Bryant.
Rondo on the rebound
Maybe the most startling stat from Game 4 was that Rondo generated a mere three assists. Only twice in his career has he posted fewer assists in a postseason game.
Rondo seems to have faded into the background the past two games, even if that has been somewhat by design as Boston forces the ball to Garnett and Pierce, looking to establish them early.
Regardless, Rondo needs to get back to creating by getting into the lane and disrupting the defense. That task might be a little easier Sunday if Lakers big man Andrew Bynum is limited by the right knee injury that required another draining after Game 4.
Rondo stressed Saturday that he hasn't been bashful going to the basket, even with Bynum on the court, but it's clear removing one active 7-footer from the floor can only help Rondo's cause.
For his part, Rondo acknowledged that he's been just "OK" the past two games. He takes solace in the fact Boston won Game 4 but noted that he needs to get involved in rebounding more to fuel his offense.
"I think I need to rebound more," Rondo said. "Rebound and push the ball."
Boston has thrived in transition, particularly when Rondo gets the ball in his hands quickly and pushes the pace. That's easier to do when he's the one with the first touch after a Lakers miss.
To that end, the Celtics seem to have put a heavy emphasis on having their bigs focus on boxing out and gaining position, and letting Rondo and Pierce fall back to the basket and clean up the misses.
Must do windows
Speaking of rebounds, it's no coincidence that the team that has won the rebounding battle has won the first four games of the series. The Celtics finished plus-5 (Game 2) and plus-7 (Game 4) in their triumphs but went minus-11 (Game 1) and minus-8 (Game 3) in their losses.
Yet again, Bynum could be the wild card for Los Angeles. Even with Lamar Odom coming off the bench, Boston obviously stands a better chance of winning the battle of the glass if Bynum is limited.
With Pau Gasol pushed to the 5 spot in place of Bynum, Gasol has to go one-on-one with Kendrick Perkins for rebounds, and Perkins has said Gasol is far less physical under the basket than Bynum.
Being less physical leads to fewer rebounds for Gasol. And the numbers suggest that the Lakers need Gasol to be a presence on the glass for the team to be successful.
In the postseason, Los Angeles is 10-1 when Gasol grabs 10 or more rebounds in a game, including 2-0 in the Finals. When Gasol has nine or fewer rebounds, the Lakers are 4-5, including 0-2 in the Finals.
Most Boston fans remember 2008, when the Celtics exploited their physical edge up front, in part because Gasol was forced to play center with Bynum injured.
It could be more of the same Sunday.
Pushing around Pau
Even if Bynum plays, we doubt he'd be the 39-minute Bynum of Game 2. Seems reasonable after the knee drainings he has endured, right?
That puts more pressure on Gasol, who, through four games, might very well be the MVP of the series.
But one of the more interesting aspects of Game 4 was how Rasheed Wallace got physical with the Spaniard and really took him out of his comfort level at times by being a bully (but, more often than not, a bully within the confines of the rules).
Check out this phenomenal breakdown by our friends at TrueHoop. It illustrates exactly how that matchup played out.
Wallace pretty much challenges Gasol to go one-on-one, runs his mouth the whole time and never gives up an inch. Even Rivers had to admit he liked what he saw and didn't mind leaving the subs in for an extended fourth-quarter run in part because Gasol went 2-for-4 with only four fourth-quarter points while matched up with Wallace.
Gasol also committed two fouls and one turnover while grabbing only one rebound in the full 12 minutes.
"I do like that matchup," Rivers said. "It's rare that [Gasol] has to shoot over length. And Rasheed is physical."
Two wild cards to consider:
1) How is Wallace's back? He didn't elaborate Saturday other than to say, "I'm fine." But he's been hard-pressed to make it through a full game since tweaking his back in Game 5 of the conference finals.
2) Can Perkins and Wallace avoid technical fouls? It's one thing to get physical, but then you run the risk of the double technical. Boston isn't thinking much about the fine line Perkins and Wallace are walking as they sit one shy of the NBA's postseason limit of seven technicals before being hit with a one-game suspension. But can Perkins and Wallace play their brand of basketball and ensure they won't miss Game 6 or potentially Game 7?

Valencia — it is the third largest city in Spain. Valencia is located at the mouth of the River Turia, where there was an ancient Greek colony Turis. After the expulsion of the Moors from Valencia along the coast locals began to build Christian churches and monasteries. Then in the 1262g was founded and the famous Cathedral of Valencia.
Attractions of Valencia:
- On the side of the cathedral is the church that Valencians named in honor of the Holy Virgin - the patron of the city, this is the Royal Basilica of the Virgin of Les Miserables. Statue that adorns the main altar - a magnificent work of art Gothic XV
- On the third side of the square of the Virgin, with a small public garden, the historic town house, or City Hall. A powerful silhouette of two watchtowers stands Generalitat Palace, the seat of the autonomous government of the province of Valencia.
- The main attraction of modern Valencia - "City of Art and Science." On the territory of this huge city-museum located Planetarium, dolphinarium, the pavilion space and the largest aquarium in Europe.
- Cathedral of Valencia overlooks the square of the Virgin Apostolic gate. The arched gate structure is characterized by clean lines, its construction dates from the first half of the XIV century., Author, presumably, Nicholas de Autona.
- Very popular in the Valencia Museum of Modern Art. It is located in Ciutadella Park. It contains works of the masters of Catalan art XIX - XX centuries.
- Just north of Valencia, in the settlement of Val Dusho are the caves of St. Joseph, where you can take a fascinating journey through the surface of the underground river. Neither the length nor the origin is not yet fully understood, but at the entrance to the cave preserved cave paintings dating back 15,000 years. The height of the tunnel in some places is only 70 - 80 inches above the water level.
- The area of the Holy Virgin - the heart of the old city. Once it is on a small island between the two streams of the River Turia, was laid the Roman Forum. Now located at the Plaza fountain - as a reminder of the river, which is the central figure surrounded by seven virgins, symbolizes Turiyu and its irrigation canals.

Tag Archives: Rex Tillerson
US Takes More Muscular Stance Toward North Korea
Unlike Obama, one gets the sense that the Trump Administration will back up a "red line." The real question is, should we?
Seoul (CNN) The US would consider military action against North Korea if it was provoked, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Friday.
Speaking in Seoul at a joint press conference with South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se, Tillerson said Washington's policy of "strategic patience" had ended.
"Certainly, we do not want things to get to a military conflict… but obviously if North Korea takes actions that threatens the South Korean forces or our own forces, then that would be met with an appropriate response," he said, in response to a question from CNN.
"If they elevate the threat of their weapons program to a level that we believe that requires action, that option is on the table," Tillerson added.
SOS Tillerson
This is one of the first cabinet picks that I think could be a poor one.
President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed the chief executive of Exxon Mobil, Rex Tillerson, as his choice for US secretary of state.
In a statement, Mr Trump praised Mr Tillerson, 64, as among the "most accomplished business leaders and international dealmakers" in the world.
Mr Tillerson is said to have a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, alarming both Democrats and some Republicans.
I don't have a problem with Tillerson's background. Running a massive global operation like Exxon is pretty good experience for being Secretary of State. He has experience working with many foreign nations on real projects and knows how they operate. What I question is Tillerson's ideology. Although there isn't a lot of evidence, he appears to be ideologically left of many of the other cabinet picks.
Time will tell. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Artists without a UK residence (known as 'NETPs' – non-established taxable persons) will find further details on 'NETP' status and how to register for VAT at www.hmrc.gov.uk (HM Revenue & Customs Reference: Notice 700/1, Mar 2014), under the heading 'Should I be registered for VAT'. Please note, the registration process can take up to 4 weeks.

Squares: 4.5" x 4.5" (11.5 x 11.5cm)
Rounds: 4.5" (11.5cm) diameter
Mounts: must not be wider than 3/4" (2cm) top and sides with 1" (2.5cm) at the bottom or 3/4" (2cm) all round.
Frames: should not be wider than 1" (2.5cm) nor deeper than 3/4" (2cm) and cannot be placed if they are very heavy.
Sculpture: should not exceed 8" (20cm) across the longest measurement and include the base.
Should I include devices for hanging?
No, do not attach any hanging devices to your work. However, hanging loops that are part of the frame design e.g. brass oval frames with a hanging loop at the top of the frame are acceptable. We operate our own hanging system. All hooks, eyes and wires must be removed before delivery to the Mall Galleries and works should be unwrapped on arrival (if hand delivering) before being presented to our art handling team.
How should I present my work, if framed?
Please pay attention to this section as bad presentation may prejudice acceptance.
Frames should be of good quality and hold the work, mounts and glass securely. Pay particular attention to the mounts, they must be clean, the inside bevel edge should not be badly cut or overcut at the corners. Sellotape or masking tape sealing of the back of the miniature is not acceptable, although brown gummed tape is acceptable. The glass must be clean, particularly inside. Non-reflective glass is not allowed. There should be absolutely no stands or other protrusions such as screw eyes on the backs of miniatures, unless they are attached decoratively to the frame, (usually oval frames). The final decision will be at the complete discretion of the Council.
How do I find out if my work has been accepted?
On RECEIVING DAY, each art work submitted will be given a registration number. ie: R1, R2 etc. If you have not delivered your work personally to the Mall Galleries, these numbers will be emailed or posted to you on SELECTION NOTIFICATION day.
The registration number of each selected works will be entered onto the website under the heading: SELECTION NOTIFICATION. If your Registration number is not listed, your work has not been accepted at this time.
How do I become an Associate Member (ARMS) of the Royal Miniature Society?
The Selection Committee of the Society elects Associate Members once a year at the selection of work for the Annual Open Exhibition.
The Selection Committee looks only at the work submitted, it will not consider transparencies, photographs, web sites or CVs. Therefore, the only method of becoming an Associate Member is to submit work to the Society for the Annual Open Exhibition.
Artists wishing to be considered for Associate Membership must submit the maximum of five works. An artist who had five works accepted in the previous year should send five new works and write CANDIDATE at the top of the schedule if wishing to be considered.
Subject to the acceptance of all five works, the artist could be elected to Associate Membership, however the process is by no means automatic. This means that an artist will need to have five out of five works selected in two consecutive years.
The five works do not have to be of the same size, medium, subject or frame - they should be best work, however.

Knoxville plays the blameless speculator on an outing to Macau, who witnesses a homicide that puts Chinese hoodlums on his tail. It is up to a Hong Kong analyst (Chan) to spare Knoxville's skin, just for the pair to wind up tearing over all of China in a frantic offer to stay alive.
The cast incorporates Asian stars, for example, Fan Bingbing, Eric Tsang and the delightful Michael Wong, however Harlin hasn't had a not too bad hit following the 90s – so this one could go in any case. With a script co-composed by BenDavid Grabinski maker of the staggering short Cost Of Living there is a hint of something better over the horizon, however this has been underway for quite a long time, and judging by this trailer, Skiptrace should be an old school stunt-tacular on the off chance that it's genuinely going to win over crowds.

On page 9, I think they have slow and firm switched up on the legend. On the rebound they use "from full firm" and on the blue compression label they say "from full slow". Shouldn't these be opposite, or do I understand this incorrectly?

Editorial: It is time to get to work on budget
Minnesota's economy has started to rebound as is evidenced by some positive economic indicators, but the state still faces a major budget shortfall.
The major question is how fast the economy is going to recover -- slowly or quickly.
According to a state report this week, unemployment dropped slightly in January. Corporate income taxes generated $181 million more than previously forecast. However, individual income taxes remain about $874 million less than expected. National economic trends are showing positive indications as well.
However, the state of Minnesota still faces a $944 million shortfall for the current budget and the best-case scenario of a $2.89 billion deficit for the 2011-12 budget.
Thus, Gov. Tim Pawlenty and the Legislature have a tough job ahead.
The time has come for both to stop playing politics and get the business of the state done.
The Pawlenty administration has often used accounting delays and/or shifts in its budget balancing moves. These decision often just pushed the deficit problem down the road, which now will leave a larger problem for the next governor.
The Senate's DFL majority has continued to battle Pawlenty on various issues, sometimes winning and other times just being outmaneuvered. The Senate leadership has also not wanted to make the tough decisions necessary, which in turns has just kicked the deficit challenge down the road.
Minnesota's budget deficit can no longer be solved with solutions that just push decisions down the road. It will take tough and creative decisions on the part of both sides.
It is time for Pawlenty and the Legislature's leadership to get to work and get the state's business done.
