An early version of Thunder in Paradise CD-i
>> Saturday, December 1, 2007
Borman bought an original prototype of CD-i's Thunder in Paradise and it's remarkable to discover the differences compared to the retail version. Just like the well-known pre-release version of Zelda's Adventure, which was missing signs in the games and some spoken hints, Thunder in Paradise appears to steal some of Philips' former CD-i title, NFL Football, as well. Borman: "Its not often that Philips CD-i prototypes come up for sale. And when one did, I took the chance and grabbed it. PtoPOnline brings you the contents of a "Thunder in Paradise" proto, in a game that features the Hulkster Hulk Hogan himself. Hit read more to see some of the differences, with more to come as I investigate deeper."
Borman about any differences: "A lot of the RTF files have the same dates, but there is a lack of a credits file in the prototype. The game RTB files are almost all dated at least one month before the final version. The cdi_loader files is months older, as are a mix of other files. The dates vary on those files, with some being exactly the same, and with others being over 4 months older in the prototype. I havent pinpointed exactly which files are changed, but Im sure they included graphics and sound samples. Inside of the CMD folder is a bunch of debug and development items! The files are: dir, copy, load, link, unlink, debug, del, iniz, list, dvbcase, cdidvx, ldim. These are most likely commands having to do with the debugging process. The sys folder had nothing I could access yet...Upon looking more, there are more lab files, bthund, boat, and more. It should be interesting to see what they are."
It looks exactly like the Microcosm disc booklet that is posted here. I guess protos of virtually everything are pretty rare, no? It's always nice to see if the developers put something extra in a proto version that was skipped eventually in the retail version!! It's a typical Redhill prototype (that's how I call them because that's the place where all the video encoding was happening. I'm GUESSING that's where it's coming from? The Thunder in Paradise prototype sais 'use DV Cartridge' as well as on the Microcosm disc, although that one sais below 'requires extra RAM' which makes me think if they used some sort of expansion unit in order to run the game? Maybe they actually needed more RAM and the memory limit eventually did end the life of Microcosm!
Compare the structure of the prototype disc:
Of that with the retail disc:
Borman posted two videos of the scene intro of Thunder in Paradise to show the differences. First the proto version:

Osteotomy of the Knee
Osteotomy literally means "cutting of the bone." In a knee osteotomy, either the tibia (shinbone) or femur (thighbone) is cut and then reshaped to relieve pressure on the knee joint.
Knee osteotomy is used when you have early-stage osteoarthritis that has damaged just one side of the knee joint. By shifting your weight off of the damaged side of the joint, an osteotomy can relieve pain and significantly improve function in your arthritic knee.
Osteoarthritis can develop when the bones of your knee and leg do not line up properly. This can put extra stress on on either the inner (medial) or outer (lateral) side of your knee. Over time, this extra pressure can wear away the smooth cartilage that protects the bones, causing pain and stiffness in your knee.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Knee osteotomy has three goals:
- To transfer weight from the arthritic part of the knee to a healthier area
- To correct poor knee alignment
- To prolong the life span of the knee joint
By preserving your own knee anatomy, a successful osteotomy may delay the need for a joint replacement for several years. Another advantage is that there are no restrictions on physical activities after an osteotomy – you will be able to comfortably participate in your favorite activities, even high impact exercise.
Osteotomy does have disadvantages. For example, pain relief is not as predictable after osteotomy compared with a partial or total knee replacement. Because you cannot put your weight on your leg after osteotomy, it takes longer to recover from an osteotomy procedure than a partial knee replacement.
In some cases, having had an osteotomy can make later knee replacement surgery more challenging.
The recovery is typically more difficult than a partial knee replacement because of pain and not being able to put weight on the leg.
Because results from total knee replacement and partial knee replacement have been so successful, knee osteotomy has become less common. Nevertheless, it remains an option for many patients.
Most osteotomies for knee arthritis are done on the tibia (shinbone) to correct a bowlegged alignment that is putting too much stress on the inside of the knee.
During this procedure, a wedge of bone is removed from the outside of the tibia, under the healthy side of the knee. When the surgeon closes the wedge, it straightens the leg. This brings the bones on the healthy side of the knee closer together and creates more space between the bones on the damaged, arthritic side. As a result, the knee can carry weight more evenly, easing pressure on the painful side.
Tibial osteotomy was first performed in Europe in the late 1950s and brought to the United States in the 1960s. This procedure is sometimes called a "high tibial osteotomy."
Osteotomies of the thighbone (femur) are done using the same technique. They are usually done to correct a knock-kneed alignment.
Candidates for Knee Osteotomy
Knee osteotomy is most effective for thin, active patients who are 40 to 60 years old. Good candidates have pain on only one side of the knee, and no pain under the kneecap. Knee pain should be brought on mostly by activity, as well as standing for a long period of time.
Candidates should be able to fully straighten the knee and bend it at least 90 degrees.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are not good candidates for osteotomy. Your orthopaedic surgeon will help you determine whether a knee osteotomy is suited for you.
Your Surgery
Before Surgery
You will likely be admitted to the hospital on the day of surgery.
Before your procedure, a doctor from the anesthesia department will evaluate you. He or she will review your medical history and discuss anesthesia choices with you. Anesthesia can be either general (you are put to sleep) or spinal (you are awake but your body is numb from the waist down).
Your surgeon will also see you before surgery and sign your knee to verify the surgical site.
Surgical Procedure
A knee osteotomy operation typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
Your surgeon will make an incision at the front of your knee, starting below your kneecap. He or she will plan out the correct size of the wedge using guide wires. With an oscillating saw, your surgeon will cut along the guide wires, and then remove the wedge of bone. He or she will "close" or bring together the bones in order to fill the space created by removing the wedge. Your surgeon will insert a plate and screws to hold the bones in place until the osteotomy heals.
This is the most commonly used osteotomy procedure, and is called a closing wedge osteotomy.
In some cases, rather than "closing" the bones, the wedge of bone is "opened" and a bone graft is added to fill the space and help the osteotomy heal. This procedure is called an opening wedge osteotomy.
After the surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room where you will be closely monitored as you recover from the anesthesia. You will then be taken to your hospital room.
After Surgery
In most cases, patients stay at the hospital for 2 to 4 days after an osteotomy. During this time, you will be monitored and given pain medication.
After the operation, your surgeon may put your knee in a brace or cast for protection while the bone heals.
You will most likely need to use crutches for several weeks.
About 6 weeks after the operation, you will see your surgeon for a follow-up visit. X-rays will be taken so that your surgeon can check how well the osteotomy has healed. After the follow-up, your surgeon will tell you when it is safe to put weight on your leg, and when you can start rehabilitation.
During rehabilitation, a physical therapist will give you exercises to help maintain your range of motion and restore your strength.
You may be able to resume your full activities after 3 to 6 months.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved with osteotomy. Your surgeon will discuss each of the risks with you and will take specific measures to help avoid potential complications.
Although the risks are low, the most common complications include:
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Stiffness of the knee joint
- Injuries to vessels and nerves
- Failure of the osteotomy to heal
In some cases, a second surgery may be required, particularly if the osteotomy does not heal.
Osteotomy can relieve pain and delay the progression of arthritis in the knee. It can allow a younger patient to lead a more active lifestyle for many years. Even though many patients will ultimately require a total knee replacement, an osteotomy can be an effective way to buy time until a replacement is required.

Families of the 29 men killed in the Pike River mining disaster will today mark the tragedy's second anniversary.
Around 150 family members will attend a private gathering this afternoon at the Pike River memorial garden in Atarau, where 29 boulders are dedicated to the miners who died after an explosion ripped through the mine on November 19, 2010.
The families will then be taken by busses up the mine for what they know will be an emotional time, says Bernie Monk, spokesman for most of the 29 families.
A minute's silence will be held at 3.44pm to mark the time the mine exploded.
A bagpiper will then lead the Scottish family of one of the victims, engineer Malcolm Campbell, along with other families up to the mine portal where a wreath will be laid.
The piper's tune has been written especially to remember the victims.
"It's going to be quite an emotional time, a big day," said Mr Monk, whose son Michael died in the blast.
"The Campbell family have come back from Scotland, as well as families from Australia.
"There's also a lot of Pike River workers who have returned for this because they're still quite moved by what has happened. They just want to be part of it as well."
He said the second anniversary was a chance to honour his son who he "desperately wants home".
Mr Monk has been integral in leading calls to recover the trapped bodies.
Earlier this month he hosted a group of international mine safety experts who spent a week investigating how the bodies could be recovered and have concluded it can happen.
A report has since been passed on to the Government as well as the mine's new owners, Solid Energy.
Prime Minister John Key, who is out of the country, said in a statement that his thoughts were with the people of the West Coast today.
"There is no comfort in my words for the families of those who died, as they are still living this tragedy day after day," he said.
"However it is fitting and right that we remember that it was this day two years ago that 29 men lost their lives.
"I am thinking of the families and the people of the West Coast today. New Zealand has immense sympathy for their continuing grief."
Grey District Mayor Tony Kokshoorn said the tragedy was still "raw in everyone's minds".
"The West Coast community is very tight-knit, with a lot of community spirit," he said.
"We're moving on but we're doing it in a sensitive way so we don't forget the 29 men still lying up in that mountain.
"The families will be up there today with their thoughts but the community will be right behind them."
The family's private ceremony will be followed by a public memorial at the Blackball Worker's Museum at 6pm.

Author Notes: I recently took a ramen making class at the Sharing Table in Emeryville where the teacher, Cynthia Fung, taught us a technique to make a simple roast pork belly. Her advice was to make sure that you poke the skin of the pork belly as much as possible to help the fat render. I tried it at home and it worked beautifully! The skin is crispy and the meat inside is juicy. One word of caution: your oven will get messy...but it is worth it. I've tried to add tips for how to reduce the mess. I've also added a simple side sauce to serve with rice or noodles. - wssmom —monkeymom
Food52 Review: This roast is so delicious. The crust becomes crisp, like a savory, hardened salty caramel, and the herbs do a beautiful job, perfuming the internal juicy meat of the roast. The technique of rolling the belly skin-side out made a big difference. I had my butcher take the bones out for easy rolling. Skewering the skin is a bit of a challenge, but the results are definitely worth the effort. You know your oven better than I do, but I would probably not go more than 1 1/2 hours at 450°F -- you don't want to dry this luscious baby out. And I'd recommend basting once or twice just to be safe. The numerous foil layers will probably keep you from having to clean your roasting pan, which is always a blessing. - favabean —favabean
Serves: 6-8
Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 2 hrs 30 min
Roasted Pork Belly
2 1/2 lb pork belly (choose a meaty piece)
1 Tbsp kosher salt
2 tsp thyme
1 tsp sage
olive oil
small wire rack
large roasting rack or cookie sheet
heavy duty foil
Hoisin Mushroom Sauce
1 onion, chopped
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
2 Tbsp rice wine (or sherry)
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cornstarch
olive oil
Roasted Pork Belly
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Rinse pork belly then dry thoroughly with paper towels. Place on a cutting board. Using a skewer, poke the skin all over as much as possible. If the bamboo skewer stops piercing the skin it has probably become blunt at the end so discard it and use another. Repeat until you've used 5-6 skewers Do this for at least 5 minutes to really get lots of holes deep into the skin. I don't think you can pierce the skin too much!
- Mix together salt and herbs. Flip pork belly over so skin side is down and rub half of the salt mixture into the meat. Drizzle with olive oil
- Roll pork belly into a cylinder so that the skin is on the outside and the meat is all tucked inside. Tie the cylinder with the kitchen string in 3 places along the length of the cylinder.
- Rub outside of skin with some olive oil, then rub the rest of the salt and herb mixture into the skin.
- The next set of steps is to help with the spattering that will occur when you cook the pork belly. First, take very generous piece of foil out that is at least a half a size too large for your large roasting try or cookie sheet. Place that foil on the rack and tent the edges of the foil upwards. This will create some walls that help catch some splatters. With a smaller piece of foil, make a little 'tray' that is large enough for your rack. Place on the cookie sheet, then place the wire rack down into it and the pork belly on top of that.
- Roast at 450 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The skin will become bubbled and crispy and a lot of fat will render into the pie/cake pan beneath.
- Let pork rest for 10 minutes before cutting twine and slicing.
Hoisin Mushroom Sauce
- Saute onions in olive oil until translucent and soft. Add mushrooms and continue to cook. They will absorb the oil and then shrink down. Let them brown a little.
- Mix together hoisin, rice wine, salt, and the chicken stock. Add to the mushrooms once they have browned. Let the mixture come to a boil and reduce by quarter.
- Mix cornstarch with 1 Tbsp of water or broth. Add to hoisin/stock mixture and stir vigorously. Cook until the sauce has thickened and no cloudiness remains. Add more broth or water if necessary to thin to desired consistency.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

With the busiest travel time of the year upon us, I thought it might be a good idea to offer a few reminders and tips for today's post.
First off, if you haven't already, plan ahead and read our Thanksgiving Travel Tips post. It's chocked full o' tips and useful information you might need before your trip.
Secondly, keep an eye on the weather. If you think there might be a delay or closure, you can check the My TSA app for airport statuses. If you don't have a smart phone, you can check the statuses here. Remember, this is the busiest travel time of the year. While we plan ahead and fully staff our checkpoints, it's always best to arrive early when you can.
Lastly, for all of you using TSA Pre✓®, it's very important you enter the correct info when booking your flight or you may not get selected for expedited screening.
While some eligible passengers are randomly excluded from expedited screening in TSA Pre✓® lanes, we were surprised to learn that some U.S. and Canadian citizens who are enrolled in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) trusted traveler program have been excluded because of errors made in entering information when they book their reservation. On a given day, some have missed out on expedited screening because of a few simple errors.
A few of the basic reasons are as follows:
- Entered the incorrect Membership Number / PASSID (also known as your known traveler number or trusted traveler number), or entered it in the wrong field when making their airline reservation online.
- Entered a date of birth (DOB) when making their reservation that did not match the DOB they provided to CBP for Global Entry or another CBP trusted traveler program.
- Didn't enter their full name: first, middle and last name. These should match:
- TSA Pre✓® participants who qualify via their membership in a CBP Trusted Traveler program should enter their full name - first, middle and last - exactly as it appears on their Global Entry card or in their Global Online Enrollment System (GOES) account, along with their date of birth, gender, and nine digit Membership Number / PASS ID when making a reservation for travel. A reservation made with a name that does not exactly match a passenger's Global Entry card or GOES account will result in the passenger not being considered for TSA Pre✓® expedited screening. If you click the "manage membership" button when logged into your GOES account, it will direct you to the page in the image below where you'll be able to ensure your account info - under the personal information section - matches the information in your travel reservation and your frequent flyer program: first, middle and last name fields.
- You should make sure your airline frequent flyer profile and any current and/or future reservations matches this information. You may have to reach out directly to your carrier to make sure this information is correct and consistent, especially your first, middle and last name. You should ask them to update your profile information and/or saved Secure Flight data.
Click to Enlarge Example of Goes Account Manager
A quick recap: Remember these important tips so that you will be included in TSA Pre✓®:
- Make sure your booking agent/airline has your number and full name stored correctly. The name - first, middle and last - should match how you applied for a trusted traveler program, as listed above.
- If you have Global Entry and want to qualify for TSA Pre✓®, enter your Membership Number / PASS ID - not the GOES ID - in the 'Known Traveler/Trusted Traveler' field when booking flight reservations - a nine digit.
- Only enter your Membership Number / PASS ID in the 'Known Traveler/Trusted Traveler' field to ensure TSA Pre✓® eligibility. Don't type "Opt In" or "TSA Pre✓®" or any other text.
Click to Enlarge Example of Global Entry Card
If you don't know what your PASS ID is, you can find it on the back of your Global Entry card, or you can log in to your GOES account to get the ID number.
- Open the Global Online Enrollment System (GOES) web site https://GOES-app.cbp.dhs.gov
- Provide your login information. Click on the Sign In button. Look for your Membership Number / PASS ID on the main screen.
You can also watch this helpful video.
Have a great holiday, and I'll be back next Tuesday with more travel tips.

From a simple, inexpensive Mayfair Ice Chest Aerator, to livewell timers from Mar-Lan and Johnson, we have what boaters require to ensure that the bait that gets fish to bite is properly contained, and the catch of the day itself retains that "fresh caught" wholesomeness, whether filleted on deck or conveyed whole back to port.

IF there's ever been a show that the fashion world has waited with absolute bated breath to see, it's this one: Raf Simons' debut for Christian Dior. And not just any debut – the Belgian designer, who was appointed as creative director in April this year, was asked to hit the ground running by starting off with working his magic on its couture line. Now that's a big responsibility, but one Raf seemed perfectly capable of taking on – only last week he was busy showing off his eponymous line at Paris menswear week which challenged perceptions of gender. This is a man who likes to be busy and a designer people like and admire - something which was very much in evidence at the show today with the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Charlene, Princess of Monaco, Marc Jacobs, Donatella Versace, Marion Cotillard, Alber Elbaz, Stella Tennant, Charlotte Rampling, Natalia Vodianova and Riccardo Tisci all eagerly waiting to see what he would do.
And what he did do was something really beautiful. "It was what you hoped for and more – it was such a beautiful homage to Dior, a mix of the modern, clean and unexpected with a real lightness of touch," said Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers after the show, describing the mood pre-show as filled with expectation and hope.
This same mood of hope and expectation could be seen on the catwalk as Simons married his architectural background (he came from the world of industrial and furniture design before he made his move into fashion and launched his own label in 1995), with elegant femininity to present a new vision which had the Twittersphere erupting with applause as soon as the show began.
"It was more elegant than elegant and he trod a brilliant line of being him and being respectful of Dior, I loved it," said Chambers.
Cigarette trousers sat beneath bustier dresses which came short and strapless and encrusted with embroidery – they were modern-day ball dresses that had been chopped off and given a new lease of life.
Then came more strapless gowns, this time with severely-defined pockets and their waists cinched in. They were architectural but feminine and there was a sense of respect too, with skirt lengths sitting below the knee at mid calf.
Colours stayed soft and pretty – pale pinks and blue – and made for a fresh contrast to the neon make-up and the severity of the pointed shoes.
And just as Raf had showed his farewell Jil Sander collection to a show space full of blooms, he revisited that idea again for his Dior debut at 51 avenue d'Iéna. Five rooms all filled with different flowers all the way to the ceiling made for a setting not dissimilar to something you'd see in Alice in Wonderland, a notion that perhaps aptly sums up what he did today: something magic. Well done Mr Simons indeed.

I think it's so great to have a place to ask where to find things
Help me find this
Great idea, Jessica!!! It's better looking for only one place...
I'm looking for a large feather with a large plume, a very fat feather, like in Captain hooks hat
I would like to find a CU freebie for a peeling paint background. Any ideas?
great thread! I'm not sure where I can find any of those things though! If you know how to extract some of the image, The Graphics Fiary has a lot of random images (more ephemera than anything). You might be able to find a plume feather there. Also, have you guys checked out Deviant Art??? TONS of resources that people create, I'd bet you'd find at least some .abr peeling paint brushes Connie. Check here
Hi i've been serching a little and i found this options:
Feathers 1
Feathers 2
Don't know if they are big inought tho
Here's a bit of what i found (textures to make backround from)
Hope you like some of them
This is a great idea for a thread.
Jaclyn beat me to it... I was going to say DeviantArt.com for everything. You can get EVERYTHING there - except extra storage space to go with it ;0)
Hi Connie,
I don't know if it's what you had in mind, but I posted a free CU sampler a couple of years ago. Go check out if you can use it: http://nothingbutfreebies.blogspot.dk/2010/10/free-sampler-2.html
Jessica your fast on the draw! I've been to Diviant Art but have stayed away from the other sites for some reason. Thanks.
Once you get into the templates or assets, the filters on the left are really great for breaking down what one can look for.
In DeviantArt, be sure to read the TOUs of the designers...many say NO COMMERCIAL USE or Use withing DA only. A lot of the TOUs are located in the journal portion of their pages.

It can be so irritating to line dry clothes, but if you've ever had a garment ruined in the dryer, you know it's still quite often a necessity and at the same time an energy saver. Now maybe it's easier to go out and buy a drying rack for yourself, but where's the fun in that?!
The plans are for a large rack that the directions say will fit in a garage or basement–for apartments scale down the dimensions. Materials needed include wooden dowels and hardwood support pieces, along with your saw and a drill for making the holes for the dowels. Good luck.

Chapter 5: Jedi Destiny
Playable Characters: Luke Skywalker (Jedi), Darth Vader
With a large battle taking place on Endor's surface, this chapter deals with a more personal battle inside the Emperor's throne room on the Death Star. In order to keep the "two players at all times" system in place, the game fudges the movie's storyline a little. Darth Vader now senses the goodness inside him a bit earlier and helps his son destroy Emperor Palpatine in the epic lightsaber battle.
As the fight progresses, the Emperor moves all around the throne room, forcing Vader and Luke to give chase. Palpatine's favorite move seems to be his powerful Force lightning, which he'll shoot at whichever character you're controlling. The Sith Lords in the original LEGO Star Wars performed similar attacks, and the lightning can be dodged as easily as those moves were. Simply let the Emperor target your character, and wait until he is about to shoot the lighting. Then at the last second, switch to the other playable character. Palpatine will harmlessly blast your partner, allowing you to hit him with a quick swing from your 'saber.
After defeating the dark lord, you'll witness the surprisingly poignant LEGOized redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Who knew that plastic bricks could emote so?
Chapter 6: Into the Death Star
Playable Characters: Millennium Falcon
The game's final level once again places you in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon as you battle to destroy the second Death Star. Before taking on the fully armed and operational battle station, however, you must knock out a few Star Destroyers that stand in your way. To do this, you must destroy the two shield generators atop the crafts' bridges. The Falcon's standard lasers aren't up to this task, so you must swipe some proton bombs from the many TIE bombers that are flying around. Just blow up a bomber and fly over the glowing orb that it leaves behind. The stolen weapon will trail behind the Falcon, allowing you to launch it at the vulnerable generators. Destroy both of them, and the entire vessel goes down.
After wiping the Star Destroyers out -- all of them -- it's finally time to head into the Death Star. As you weave through the claustrophobic interior of the Death Star, you'll be forced to fend off attacking TIE fighters. Take note of the bomb dispensers that are conveniently stationed at a few key locations as you fly down into the station's core. You'll need the bombs provided by those machines to blow up barricades that impede your progress. The core won't be easy to destroy, however. A barrier surrounds the Death Star's vulnerable bits, and that must be taken out before the final shots are fired. Once the battle station starts to blow, it's a race against the explosion as you fly the Falcon back out into space.
We Do Need That Scum
After you've completed all three segments of the game, the fun still isn't over. LucasArts has revealed a special Bounty Hunter mode that becomes available once you unlock all of the game's bounty huntin' characters. There are ten of these levels total, and in each one, you scour a level to find a specific person. Finally, we have a video game that uses Bossk to his full potential.
From what we've played so far, LEGO Star Wars II takes all the great ideas from the original game and greatly improves on them. We'll have a full review of the game in the upcoming weeks, but for now, just dump a big pile of LEGO bricks on the floor and start building a scale model Super Star Destroyer. That should help the time fly by.

SOCHI, Russia -- Teemu Selanne scored two goals and Tuukka Rask had a 26-save shutout, helping Finland rout the United States 5-0 Saturday to win hockey bronze at the Sochi Games. Selanne, a 43-year-old, six-time Olympian, and Jussi Jokinen scored 11 seconds apart early in the second period. The Finns scored three goals in the third period against a team that looked like it would rather be at home. Finland has won four medals in the last five Olympics, more than any other nation in the NHL era. Before the third-place match became a rout in the final period, it was a game of missed opportunities for the Americans. Patrick Kane couldnt convert on a penalty shot in each of the first two periods for the U.S. AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Theres something about the Detroit Pistons that seems to bring out DeAndre Jordans best dunks. Jordan had 16 points and 21 rebounds -- dunking seven times with a layup -- and the Los Angeles Clippers breezed to a 112-103 victory over the Pistons on Monday. Jordan threw down a memorable dunk on Detroits Brandon Knight last March. Knight is no longer on the Pistons, but Jordan put on another highlight show in this meeting against Detroit big men Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe. "We knew we had to bring it," Jordan said. Detroits Josh Smith had his own explanation. "We didnt put up a resistance," Smith said. "They had transition 3s, open looks at 3s and they were getting layups in transition and throwing lobs and we just let them have everything. I dont know what happened." Jordan made his first seven shots. Blake Griffin added 25 points and Jamal Crawford scored 26 for the Clippers, who are now 6-2 since losing star point guard Chris Paul to a shoulder injury. J.J. Redick added 20 points for Los Angeles, including two four-point plays when the Pistons fouled him beyond the arc. Rodney Stuckey scored 29 points for Detroit and Smith added 24, but the Pistons got almost nothing from their starting backcourt. Brandon Jennings went scoreless and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored only six points. Jordan dunked four times in the first quarter alone. The Clippers led 64-53 at halftime after shooting 66 per cent from the field. "Theyve got to be able to step up with J.J., Jamal, Matt (Barnes), guys like that," Jordan said. "So I was open a lot at the rim early." Jordan has six double-doubles in the last seven games, and his most impressive dunk of the day was probably a one-handed alley-oop from Redick in the third quarter. Jordans eyes were around rim level on that one, which gave Los Angeles an 82-67 lead. "Thats the way they play. They pounnd the ball inside, and they are always looking for the lob," Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks said.dddddddddddd"They dont usually get as many of them as they did tonight, but thats what they do." Redick bounced back after a 4-for-17 showing against Indiana on Saturday. His first four-point play put the Clippers up 38-33 in the second quarter. His second came in the third, after the Pistons had cut the lead to six and looked ready for a potential run. "Thats my job -- to knock down some shots," Redick said. "I think we played really well in that second quarter, and then in that third quarter we had another good stretch." The last player with two four-point plays in one game was Crawford, who did it for Golden State against Denver on March 28, 2009, according to STATS. "I figured hed probably done it before," Redick said. "Hes the master." Once the Clippers pulled away, about the only fun moment for most of the crowd came when a fan seated courtside was drenched by a drink after the ball went sailing out of bounds right at him. He seemed to take the mishap in good spirits, and the game was delayed briefly while the floor in front of him was cleaned. Detroit trailed by as many as 20 points in the fourth. The Pistons cut the deficit to nine late in the game, but Jordan punctuated a terrific day with yet another alley-oop dunk. "It was a good performance. It wasnt a great performance," Griffin said. "I thought we relaxed too much at certain times. In the fourth quarter, we should have done a better job." NOTES: Caldwell-Pope fouled Redick on both four-point plays. ... Jordan finished 8 of 11 from the field and 0 for 6 on free throws. ... Jennings missed all seven of his shots from the field, going scoreless for only the second time in 330 career games. It also happened in March, when he was with Milwaukee. ... The Pistons dropped to 7-14 at home this season. They are 10-10 on the road.

Why Many New Businesses Fail – Four Common Reasons of Small Business Failure
You may have already heard many stories of how people started a business with much enthusiasm but fail to run it successfully for a long-term. The failure of a business has, in my opinion, nothing to do with your luck or any other spiritual powers. There are a few common reasons of small business failure and I have written some of them in the following headings;
1: Poor Market Research
It sometimes happens that you wake up from your bed at 3 a.m and say to yourself "wow, this is a multi-million dollar business idea". Lame! Multi-million dollar business ideas do not simply pop-up into your mind while you are sleeping; instead they require a hell lot of market research to assess whether your business idea is worth a million dollars or not. Making a million dollars is not as easy as you think.
Poor market research plays an integral role in small business failure. People forget to gather useful data from the market which, in real terms, ensures success. They overestimate the potential of their product/service to sell in their target market. So, before you spend a single penny on your business, conduct a detailed market research.
2: Poor Business Planning
I have seen people who grab a page or two from their pocket and say, "this is my business plan". You are pretty much sure about the reaction that occurs on your face when someone says so. You're right! Another reason why people fail to make their business successful is that they do not draft a proper and well-researched business plan. Warning: do not waste months on preparing a business plan rather than actually doing anything.
A business plan will help you draft a map of how your business will meet its objectives. You will address all operational areas of your business before actually starting anything; this will ensure that you are well prepared for any surprises that come your way. I have covered a diverse range of topics related to business planning in my blog and hope you will find them helpful. While preparing your business plan, all you need is to be honest and realistic about the projections and assumptions you make.
3: Limited Start-up Capital
Another common reason for most business failures is either they start with little start-up capital or they spend the available capital on unnecessary luxuries such as buying expensive furniture, expensive graphic designs for your websites, hiring more people than required, expensive marketing campaigns etc. It is always important that you prepare for running the business at breakeven (or even loss) for at least the first year of operation. The available capital shall be used in necessary and value adding items.
A business plan will help you develop a forecast of how much capital do you need to start your business and what is actually necessary at the start. Spending wisely in the start will help you sustain for a longer period as well as prepare you for hard times.
4: Synergy between Team Members
This is another common reason causing many new businesses to fail. Unless you are a single proprietor or a professional offering your services, you need to team up with people. You may also have co-founders who are with your from the scratch of your business. The team members and their synergy among each other play an important role in the overall success of your company.
Be careful when you select your partners and other team members because they will be playing a key role in your business. There is a need of people who have technical knowledge about your industry as well as those who are good in other business operations.
I hope the above reasons have helped you in understanding how you should start initially. There are many other reasons to a business failure that can be written here but these four reasons are in my top list.

Reverend Frederick Batiste

- Personal Bio
- Fred's Meds
- Self-Injections? "It's Easier Than Pills!"
- "I'm 51 Years Old, How Do You Like That!?"
As a veteran, the Reverend Frederick Batiste of New Orleans had been prepared to fight battles. But nothing could have prepared him for this: a battle with HIV that has lasted an incredible 21 years.
Before he was diagnosed back in 1983, Fred didn't know what was going on with his body. He just kept getting infections. Then he got the news that changed his life.
Diagnosed at a time when the general public was just becoming aware of the term "AIDS" -- and anxiety and misinformation were widespread -- Fred showed great courage despite his fears.
He was the first to get in front of his church and announce that he had the virus. His hope was that by sharing his story, he could help others. He has continued providing support to members of his community through the Nineveh Baptist Church Friendly Members Healthcare Ministry, focusing on prevention of HIV/AIDS. The ministry also provides referral services and education to people with HIV who don't know where to go or what to do. It has become his life's work.
Fred is now on his fifth regimen since he began HIV treatment in 1988; his doctors have had to adjust his meds every two to three years. He's had problems with side effects, ineffective meds and meds to which he developed resistance.
Then one day Fred's doctor told him he had few options left. The good news was that Fuzeon, the first fusion inhibitor, had recently been approved for patients who had experienced treatment failure with previous drug regimens. While he was willing to try anything that would help to stabilize his disease, Fred was a little apprehensive about injections. As he puts it, "I hate needles."
Fred's doctor started him on on a regimen in February 2003 with Fuzeon, Invirase, Videx EC, Viread and Kaletra. At that time, Fred's viral load was over one million and his CD4 cell count was 27. He also takes Bactrim to prevent pneumonia, Prozac for depression and an antifungal for his skin. Fred also suffers from epilepsy and takes Keppra to keep it under control.
Since he started his regimen, Fred's CD4 count went up to 136 and his viral load decreased to around 100,000. "The stuff is great. My viral loads have come down. My CD4s are shooting up. It keeps me healthy, I'm not as sick as I was before, I've gained weight back and all that good stuff."
Fred is lucky in that he has an excellent doctor who follows him closely. Since 2000, his doctor has regularly performed resistance tests to make sure Fred's meds are still working against the virus. Fred's other health problems make him a difficult case, however. His doctor is about to change his HIV regimen again because it appears that his epilepsy drug interacts with some of his anti-HIV meds.
Self-Injections? "It's Easier Than Pills!"
Apprehensive at first about the prospect of injecting himself with the Fuzeon twice a day, Fred adjusted quickly. "The injections were kind of hard at first, and I was not too willing. It takes about two or three days to get used to it, and after that it becomes part of your regular medicine schedule. To me, it's easier than pills. I wish the whole cocktail could be injections rather than pills. With pills, you have to swallow, swallow, swallow!"
For a while Fred attended a Fuzeon support group where he learned some tips to help him inject himself with the Fuzeon and reduce the injection site reactions that affect most patients who take Fuzeon. "I've learned how to reduce some of the pain and nodules that it causes. My Fuzeon group taught us about massaging with a hand-held massager. It moves the drug in faster, so there's less pain. They also taught us how to reach the fatty parts on the back of our arms. I also use lidocaine to numb the spot. I put it on 30-45 minutes before the shot. The area is numb, and you don't feel any pain."
"I'm 51 Years Old, How Do You Like That!?"
Despite his long battle with HIV/AIDS and a daily drug regimen that would overwhelm most people, Fred maintains an incredibly positive attitude toward life. Divorced with two children and two grandchildren, Fred is grateful that his family is HIV negative. Stated in his matter-of-fact way, "They're affected by my disease, but not infected."
When asked what advice he would give to others who are HIV positive and in need of a drug like Fuzeon, he responded, "I'm not a rich person, but I've been given a wonderful, wonderful chance, and I hope that everybody can get the same opportunity. If they're afraid of injections, they just need the desire to get better. A lot of people aren't aware of the drug. This stuff is great. I'm a harder subject than some of the rest of them, but it keeps me healthy. I'm on it to stay!"
Reverend Batiste gives his thanks to the Veterans Administration, Nineveh Baptist Church, National Minority AIDS Council, Balm in Gilead, Inc. (for giving him the courage to disclose his HIV status to his church), and Brother to Brother Peer Support Group. He hopes others can share the same blessings and treatment that he has received.

2 Koo Nation - Good Day [Label Submitted]
"he concept of a 2Koo Nation refers both to the distinguishing features of the group, and to the individuals sense of belonging to it. A very wide range of criteria is used, with very different applications. Small differences and pronunciation maybe enough to categorize someone as a member of a 2Koo Nation. On the other hand two people maybe separated by difference in personality, belief systems, geographical locations, time and even spoken language, yet regard themselves, and be seen by others, as a member of the same 2Koo Nation.From Louisville,Ky.

Over the last five years, the role of technology in fashion has absolutely exploded. Not only have blogs emerged as a huge force in the industry, but magazines are racing to bring their online content up to their offline editorial standards and brands are using digital printmaking, three-dimensional printers and a whole slew of other technological advances to enrich their clothes and accessories. This afternoon at New York Fashion Week, the intersection of tech and fashion reached a new point: powerhouses Diane von Furstenberg and Google joined forces to debut the much-rumored Glass on DVF's Spring 2013 runway.
Still in its design infancy, Glass is a pair of (glass-less, ironically) glasses that captures the wearer's experiences while he or she moves through the world. At the DVF show, wearers included front-row attendee and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, model Hanne Gaby Odiele and Diane von Furstenberg herself. All of the wearers captured the show from their perspectives, and on September 13, we'll all be able to see the POV video that resulted on DVF's official YouTube page. Don't want to wait?

Kirkobeeo extracting honey from one of his hives in Silverlake, CA.
"Those of us who grew up reading Winnie-the-Pooh know that know that honey plays a very important role in Pooh's life. Honey is Pooh's favorite snack, his ultimate temptation… and the goal of most of his adventures.
And while Pooh's tactics might be a little extreme, it appears that he is onto something. His favorite honey is that which comes directly from the hive — aka: raw honey.
Raw honey is by definition unheated, unfiltered and unpasteurized with nothing added or removed. Its meant to be as close as possible to the state of the honey when it left the beehive, often including portions of the comb itself."

The Melissa Garden – a honeybee sanctuary (Healdsburg, CA)
"The "Weissenseifener Haengekorb" was designed by the german sculptor Guenther Mancke. The form and shape of the hive is created according to natural/wild bee hives. The design would like to reflect the oneness of the colony – what is called the "Bien". The "Bien" describes the animal with a thousand body parts (individual bees). The "Bien" is an organic interpretation of an individual (Tautz). Already through his outer shape it reveals it's nature– as if the egg shaped skep would be the outer shell or skin of this living being. The inner shape allows the "bien" to unfold it's own natural gestalt, in harmony with it's instinctual life forces."
GOOGLE: Hello from the Hiveplex
"I've always thought that beehives are organized similarly to how we do things here at Google. Bees have a flat management structure and they adapt quickly and change roles throughout their career (nurse, guard, foragers, quality control, etc.) depending on demands. And the bees that collect nectar from the forager bees at the entrance to the hive also scrutinize it for quality. If it's not high enough, they send the foragers back out to get a fresh start… it reminds me a bit of a Google code review!
If Google's a beehive, then I'm what you might call a forager. I work on the culinary team and we strive to serve food that's produced locally and grown in a sustainable manner. But we wanted to take the effort to the next level. So, with help from the Marin Bee Company, we've installed four hives of bees to help us be as self-sufficient as possible.
The four hives—collectively known as the Hiveplex, of course—are each painted in one of Google's colors. We've placed them close to large areas of wild flowers on our campus, far enough away that anyone who isn't fond of bees can easily avoid them, but close enough that anyone who wants to can walk over and watch them at work. Many Googlers have signed up to contribute to beekeeping and honey extraction efforts, and, come the harvest in the fall, we'll round the season off with a series of cooking classes and candle-making sessions for all those who have signed up to help.
With this project, we're also hoping to raise awareness of impact of Colony Collapse Disorder(CCD)—a phenomenon in which worker bees abandon the hive for reasons that aren't fully understood. This has become a cause of global concern and in some parts of the world more than 50 percent of the hives have been found abandoned. This has grave implications for us all as bees are responsible for pollinating approximately 70 percent of the fruit and vegetables we eat. The loss of bees has serious consequences for plants, wildlife and human survival. (You can read more here.)
To see our newest colleagues at work, check out the album below. Someday we might create a Buzz account for our bees so you can all track their progress and follow our bee keeping activities—but we promise not to drone on."
I inspected Sophie Anne's hive yesterday and she has drawn quite a bit of comb, but it would appear (unless I am mistaken, and correct me if I am) that the workers have designs on replacing their queen. You'll notice in the middle of the photo a unique cell that sticks out. I believe this to be a queen cell, and more specifically a supercedure cell. Bees will create these cells when they believe their queen is failing and want to replace her. That would appear to be the case with Sophie Anne. Perhaps she was injured or just not laying enough brood. I didn't see her during the inspection so I can't speak to her condition or existence for that matter. At any rate, I'm excited to see what happens. Hopefully they will emerge a stronger, healthier hive.
Legalize Bees!
Tonight, with the support of the Mar Vista Community Council Green Committee and Backwards Beekeepers, Chelsea and I along with Maritza Przekop made a motion before the Mar Vista Community Council to do a feasibility study for legalizing bees in Los Angeles. We won unanimous support and the feasibility study is moving full steam ahead!
The following are the remarks I prepared for the council:
They say that you don't choose to be a beekeeper, but rather the bees choose you. So when a swarm of honeybees showed up in our organic garden on my birthday this Spring, we were recruited into the ranks of beekeepers, an order that includes everyone from Aristotle, the Apostle Luke and Alexander the Great to Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Edison.
As avid gardeners, Chelsea and I had been following the Backwards Beekeepers blog for several years prior to the swarm showing up, so we knew exactly who to call. A few hours later, a volunteer from the organization showed up and removed the bees without incident. We were able to find a new home for them in Santa Monica where they are now happily making honey.
This experience drove us to learn more about honeybees and to get involved with the Backwards Beekeepers, an organization committed to saving bees from extinction through education, activism and best practices for keeping healthy bees. The more we have learned about the plight of the honeybee, the more we are drawn in, like honeycomb filling in a frame.
The histories of the human species and that of the honeybee are inseparable. Neither species could have evolved to present conditions without the symbiotic relationship that we harbor.
As Albert Einstein said, "if the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
The reason for his grim prognosis is the fact that bees pollinate 80% of the world's plants including 90 different food crops, which means that 1 out of every 3 bites of food is thanks to a bee.
Unfortunately, we have real reason to fear the specter raised by Mr. Einstein. Over the last three years, more than one in three honeybee colonies collapsed nationwide, a phenomenon now called Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD. And while there is no one smoking gun causing CCD, scientists now widely agree that it is a result of a combination of factors, made manifest by industrial beekeeping which involves trucking thousands of hives great distances to pollinate crops, exposing bees to countless pesticides, and interfering with the species natural defenses by treating them with miticides and antibiotics and feeding them high fructose corn syrup. This deadly cocktail has made bees incredibly vulnerable and on the brink of collapse. If present trends continue, scientists estimate there will be no more bees by 2035. That is, only if we fail to act, if we fail to recognize this disaster in the making and don't take strong action to counter the slow march to extinction.
So what do we do?
According to Simon Buxton as quoted in the new documentary The Vanishing of the Bees, "the future of beekeeping is not in one beekeeper with 60,000 hives, but rather 60,000 people with one hive."
The best science tells us that the future of the honeybee and thus our future lie within the urban environment. Despite the irony, cities actually provide safer habitat than the farms and rural areas traditionally associated with beekeeping. Cities provide a much more diverse source of forage for bees, drastically reducing if not eliminating the need to artificially feed bees. Rather than having to eat exclusively whatever is in bloom wherever they have been unloaded from the trucks, city bees are able to find everything they need in people's gardens and landscaping. And due to most people not wanting pesticides on their property or near their family, bees are granted a 'get out of jail free' card, thus eliminating one more reason for their decline. The city environment is therefore the last refuge of the honeybee.
Atlanta, New York, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Spokane, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver and most recently Santa Monica have all taken decisive action and legalized beekeeping. We are here today to begin the process of adding Los Angeles to this list. We believe it to be a necessary and just measure requiring immediate action. We humbly request that you consider our motion in the spirit of preserving the future of the honeybee and thus the future of us all.
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
– Isaac Watts
Help us save the honey bees!!

Cards slug their way past D'backs
St. Louis, MO – Matt Adams and Matt Holliday were among five St. Louis players to homer as the Cardinals cruised to a 12-8 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of a four-game set at Busch Stadium.
Adams crushed a three-run shot and Holliday and Daniel Descalso each added a two-run blast for the Cardinals, who also got homers from Matt Carpenter and Shelby Miller.
Miller (7-3) gave up two runs on six hits while striking out nine over six frames.
"Throughout our lineup there's great hitters and they really know what they are doing at the plate," said Miller. "They're one the ones winning all these games for us."
Gerardo Parra went 3-for-4 with a double and Cliff Pennington added a pair of hits and an RBI for the D'backs, who lost for just the second time in six games.
Ian Kennedy (3-4) was rocked for 10 runs on 13 hits over four innings to absorb the loss.
"This is going to make me want to work harder in my next start," said Kennedy. "I hate it when I pitch like this and I hate this feeling, I don't want this to happen again."
The Cardinals busted the game open with an eight-run fourth inning.
Jon Jay got things started with an RBI single to right field. After Carpenter singled and Holliday walked, Allen Craig cracked a a two-run single to center. Adams followed with his towering three-run blast to deep right-center, and after a David Freese walk, Descalso capped the inning with a two-run blast to make it 10-2.
The Cards tacked on two more in the fifth as Miller and Carpenter hit back- to-back homers to give St. Louis a commanding 10-run cushion.
Arizona scored three runs in both the seventh and ninth innings to make things interesting.
In the seventh, Pennington, Wil Nieves and Parra hit three-straight RBI singles.
St. Louis reliever Keith Butler issued back-to-back bases loaded walks in the ninth before he was replaced by Edward Mujica.
Mujica gave up a sacrifice fly to Willie Bloomquist before striking out Josh Wilson to end the game.
The D'backs jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Parra scored on a Paul Goldschmidt ground out and Miguel Montero singled home Didi Gregorius.
Holliday's two-run shot in the bottom of the inning tied the game.
Game Notes
Miller, 22, became the youngest Cardinals pitcher to homer since Rick Ankiel (2000, age 20) ... St. Louis hasn't lost a series since dropping two of three to the Pittsburgh Pirates April 26-28 ... Miller has struck out at least seven batters in six of his 12 starts this season ... Kennedy was charged with his first loss since May 5.

Last year marked many changes in programming: Mobile devices emerged as a major programming platform and, at the other end of the spectrum, clouds became an established platforms for data and applications. In between, desktops and laptops gained substantially more RAM and somewhat more processor cores. Predictably, some of these changes trickled down to the choice of languages.
The well-known Tiobe Index (an index that culls frequency of mentions of languages and language products and translates it into a percentage of overall mentions) found the greatest language growth last year to be in Objective-C. I believe few readers would be surprised by this. Between the iPhone, iPod, and iPad (and to a lesser extent Macs), the demand for Objective-C skills has clearly grown.
The effect of mobile appears as well in Java, which over the last 10 years of Tiobe data has been in a steady decline. Two years ago, it began something of a comeback I believe driven by Android development and this year, Java stayed essentially even with last year. My belief is that Android is filling the gap caused by JVM languages, such as Scala, Groovy, and JRuby, which are drawing Java developers away from the language on desktop and server platforms.
As mobile programming takes off, it brings developers back to a lower level of programming that's closer to the hardware. Typically, because applications on a mobile device tend to have small code bases and require specific languages to exploit every new hardware feature, scripting languages have gained little traction in this area. (Apple's tight controls on languages and tools has also contributed to the phenomenon.) As a result, for the first time in years, possibly ever, all the primary scripting languages Perl, Python, Ruby and PHP declined this year. Of these, Python and Ruby's are the most interesting.
Ruby's showing in the Tiobe Index is seconded by its numbers on Ohloh.net, which tracks the number of contributions to open-source projects by programming language. LOCs of Ruby changed or added in 2011 were at their lowest level since 2006 a fifth of what they were in 2008. I expect that part of the reason for this is that the Ruby on Rails (RoR) jubilation has finally subsided; not because of any inherent defects in the framework, but because it is only one solution to a larger problem. In addition, other frameworks have started adopting some of the original innovations that RoR brought to the fore. Python's fall in Tiobe is not reflected in the Ohloh numbers, which suggests that the decline is likely due to the overall market expanding faster than Python's own ranks, thereby giving it a smaller share.
The trend away from scripting to more native languages was also evident in the .NET world. C# saw a huge rise in adoption (second only to Objective-C's jump). The surge was sufficient to move C# ahead of C++ for third place in the Tiobe Index. A significant portion of this rise, I believe, came from developers moving away from Visual Basic. This trend curiously undercuts the core .NET proposition; namely, that developers would use multiple interoperable languages on the platform. But in fact, as the number of languages on .NET consolidates around C#, the benefit is becoming less valuable. (Ironically, the opposite is happening on the JVM, where there is a proliferation of alternative, interoperable languages.)
One year does not a trend make, so changes need to be looked at as indicative but not conclusive. However, the move to non-scripting languages, because it's occurring uniformly across so many idioms, might well augur the end of the cycle that held developer time was worth the sacrificing of performance and closeness to the execution platform. We'll see.
