Not Matter How Small You Got Game
Written by Pace LattinOctober 3, 2012 # 10:48 am # Marketing Insights, Specials # 2 Comments
There is a lot of talk in our industry about who is making the most money, who is the biggest "baller" and other crap like that. Let's put this in perspective: most of the people, most of the affiliates are just trying to make living, not trying to buy their newest Bentley. I've been fortunate that over the last 15 years I've made tens of millions personally in the industry, and my companies have made hundreds of millions.
However, we need to have a lot of respect fort he "little guys" in our industry, those who are being innovative, trying new things, helping to grow the industry.
What's even more interesting is where these guys are coming from: India, Pakistan, Mexico and many other countries. These guys may not be making millions, or even tens of thousands, but the income they do make, can make a huge difference in their life in those countries. It allows them to buy a house, get a car, send their kids to school and even help their community. I talk to some of these guys daily, and their stories are amazing.
Here's an inspirational video of Mani Love, a 4'5 basketball player who can do stuff that most of us can't even imagine. If he can do this, anyone can make it in performance and affiliate marketing with hard work and determination.

The guys making the most, in my experience, you would never know about because they don't advertise and flaunt it everywhere.
Wow that video was really make me amaze, I love to see it in here.. I will share this one to my friends and co workers..

Now's a good a time as ever to start speculating about the reasons for this postponement. Personally, I think the mid-$1.70s is a great buying opportunity. That said, I will await the results of the third quarter to see if there is any material impact on the share price. Will GPR see $4 again next year? Ever?

Teardown: What's Inside The Motorola Xoom
- 02.25.11
From the outside, tablets are almost all the same, especially when seen from the front. But like a pretty actor in a reality TV show, once you get under their skin you find out what really makes them tick. So it is with the Motorola Xoom, which has been opened up and photographed by — you guessed it — iFixit.
First off, it's surprisingly easy to get in, requiring nothing but a Torx screwdriver to get the bulk of the cover off. This makes sense, as Motorola is going to be taking a lot of these apart to swap in 4G chipsets in the summer.
In fact, a lot of the design seems influenced by this crazy plan. To perform the swap, all a technician needs to do is remove those Torx screws, slide the rear cover open, remove a dummy chip-board and swap in the new one, reconnecting the antennas. It sounds a lot like swapping out Wi-Fi cards in a netbook, only with less screws. Here's what iFixit has to say:
A seasoned technician can perform this swap in less than 10 minutes. Heck, a donkey could probably pull it off in less than two hours. We have no idea why a customer couldn't just go to a Verizon store and have on-site representatives enable 4G on the spot, just like they're able to transfer mobile contacts and perform other activation procedures.
Once inside, the first thing that you see is the huge battery, which is just as it should be: A tablet that doesn't last all day is a tablet that isn't worth buying. Then it's onto the cameras (connected by separate cables for easy replacement), the speakers and then the main circuit board. As you already know, this contains the Nvidia Tegra T2 dual-core ARM A9 CPU and GeForce GPU. There's not a lot of magic inside of any of these tablets — the trick is just to keep enough space spare to fit in a big battery.
IFixit rates the Xoom pretty high for fixability, and everything can be gotten out with "a spudger and a couple of Torx screwdrivers." You'll need some patience to tear everything down to the bare metal, though, because "there's just a lot of labor involved with removing that many screws."

I love all these rich elected leaders who are out telling the American people that if we cut any programs, it will hurt the children, the old people will die. If they really cared about the children & old people why don't they take a cut in pay to help them or donate some of there millions to help them. Instead they keep there money and increase there benefits & income, but want the American people to give more of there resources to help, while passing more laws to take more of our resources. These new laws they pass do not hurt there pocketbook, it only gain votes for themselves, while bleeding the average American people. I love the fact that if we have a shut down they will keep there income but our military families will not get there checks. When the republicans wanted a bill to make sure the the military families get there checks Mr. Harry Reid wouldn't even put it out for a vote and Mr. Obama said he would veto it. Is this caring about the American people and our country, or is it more about keeping benefits for there special groups that vote and keep them in power.

IFD is the scene description format produced by Houdini and consumed by mantra to produce a rendered image or animation sequence. The IFD file contains a complete description of the scene and how to render it.
Structure of an IFD
Header Information
Typically comments and the ray_version command
Retained Object Definitions
Renderer Settings
Camera Settings
Local Object Definitions (Geometry, Space, Light, Atmosphere or Instance)
Render command
Optional: additional frames
Geometry may be declared anywhere in the IFD, as long as it's declared prior to being referenced.
Mantra uses a subset of the hscript scripting language to process IFDs. So some constructs like variable expansion, if
statements, looping constructs, expression evaluation can be used in IFD.

ray_procedural (-m xmin ymin zmin -M xmax ymax zmax) procedural (arguments)
| Defines a procedural function for generating geometry. The -m/-M options are used to define a bounding box for the procedural geometry and may be used to optimize rendering (since mantra may not have to generate any procedural geometry if the bounding box is not rendered). Procedurals may be written by users using the HDK. | ||||||||||||

As of Houdini 9.1 these commands are no longer the preferred method for defining image plane settings. The preferred method is now to use the ray_property plane

Specifying properties in IFD
Properties may be set anywhere in the IFD. If object properties are set outside of an object block, they change the default value for all objects declared after the change. For example:
ray_property object shadingrate 2 ray_start object # Shading rate will be "2" ray_end ray_start object # Change the shading rate to 1 ray_property object shadingrate 1 ray_end
See the list of Houdini render properties for mappings to IFD properties.
Categories vs. Masks
Categories and masks provide ways to specify a set of objects or lights.
Masks use the object name to determine membership and use the same semantics as object globbing in Houdini, for example /obj/geo*,^/obj/geo1
Each object in mantra also may optionally have category membership assigned. These are arbitrary user tokens. Category selection works using a simple boolean algebra on the category names to determine membership. Category patterns are formed using simple expressions |
Multiple expressions may be joined by | (union) and & (intersection). Expression are processed from left to right with the intersection operator at a higher precedence than the union. No parentheses are supported.
a & b & c | d & e | f | g & h
...is equivalent to the following invalid (as parentheses are not supported) expression:
( a & b & c ) | ( d & e ) | f | ( g & h )
For example, the category pattern - | foo
will match any objects tagged with category foo
, or any uncategorized objects.
If you specify both a mask and categories, mantra uses the intersection of the two sets (that is, only objects which are in both sets).

I think, if I can make any sense out of it, the only word that comes to me, in spite of Beelzebub and his disciples doing great work – ex-disciples, I mean – the only word that comes to me is nonsense. Seventeen years! And I was eight or nine when I started this whole nonsense, so the day I left university I was twenty-six, and so happy – not because I was a gold medalist but because I was free at last. Free again.
I was in such a hurry that I told my professor, "Don't waste my time. Nobody can convince me to enter these gates again. Even when I was nine years old my father had to drag me in, but now nobody can drag me. If anyone tries then I will drag him out." And of course I was able to drag the poor old man who was trying to persuade me not to leave.
He said, "Listen to me: it is rare to receive a scholarship for a Ph.D. Do your Ph.D., and I promise you that you will one day be able to have a D.Litt."
I said, "Don't waste my time, because my bus is leaving." The bus was standing there at the gate. I had to rush to catch it, and I am sorry that I could not even thank him. I had no time – the bus was leaving, and my luggage was already on it, and the driver – as drivers do – was honking like mad. I was the only passenger not yet on the bus, and my old professor was almost on his knees persuading me not to leave.
Shambhu Babu was well educated. I was uneducated when the friendship began. He had a glorious past; I had none. The whole town was shocked by our friendship, but he was not even embarrassed. I respect that quality. We used to walk hand in hand. He was my father's age, and his children were older than me. He died ten years before my father. I think he must have been about fifty at that time. This would have been the right time for us to be friends. But he was the only man to recognize me. He was a man of authority in the village, and his recognition was of immense help to me.
Kantar Master was never seen at the school again. He was immediately sent on leave, because there was only one month before his retirement, and his application for an extension had been canceled. This created a great celebration in the village. Kantar Master had been a great man in that village, yet I had had him thrown out in just a single day. That was something. People started respecting me. I would say, "What nonsense is this? I have not done anything – I simply brought the man and his wrongdoing to the light."
I am surprised how he continued torturing small children his whole life; but that is what was thought to be education. It was thought then, and many Indians still think, that unless you torture a child he cannot be taught – although they may not say so clearly.
So I said, "There is no question of respect, and as far as my friendship with Shambhu Babu is concerned, it is not a matter of age. He is my father's friend really. Even my father is amazed."
My father used to ask Shambhu Babu, "Why are you so friendly to that troublesome boy?"
And Shambhu Babu would laugh and say, "One day you will understand why. I cannot tell you now."

I want to lose a minimum of 2 stone on s&s before I move over to slimming world which is the eventual plan.
So today has gone ok far...
Breakfast: mini babybel.
Snack: Yoghurt lemon bar.

Salmonella ranks as the pathogen most linked to deaths after a decade-long Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance report.
Listeria was second, followed by STEC E.coli, Hepatitis A, Clostridium perfringens and Rotavirus.
During 1998–2008, CDC received reports of 13,405 foodborne disease outbreaks, resulting in 273,120 illnesses, 9,109 hospitalizations, and 200 deaths.
Judged by data from the CDC report , this gallery ranks the foodborne pathogens in order of those most linked to fatalities.
Laboratory and clinical guidelines for confirming an etiology of a foodborne disease outbreak are specific for each bacterial, chemical/toxin, parasitic, and viral agent. Suspected etiologies are those that do not meet the confirmation guidelines.

A federal judge has ordered police to stop ticketing Occupy Cincinnati protesters after the group filed a lawsuit against the city for banning people from Piatt Park when it closes. The city has already ticketed protesters approximately $25,000.
J. Robert Linneman, one of the attorneys who filed the suit, according to Bloomberg Businessweek:
"This case is not about the whether you agree with the political views of Occupy Cincinnati or Occupy Wall Street; it's about the right of the people to assemble in a public park and to engage in protected speech."
Just two days before the general election, President Barack Obama made his case to 13,500 people packed into the University of Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena and 2,000 in an overflow room.
Obama cast the race in comparisons to the previous two
presidents, comparing his policies with those of Bill Clinton and equating Republican
challenger Mitt Romney's plans with those of George W. Bush.
"So stay with me then," Obama said. "We've got ideas that work,
and we've got ideas that don't work, so the choice should be pretty clear."
With less than 48 hours before polls open on Election Day,
a Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll had Obama and his Republican challenger locked
in a statistical dead heat. However the same poll showed Obama with a slight
edge in Ohio, up 48 percent to Romney's 44 percent.
Obama touted his first-term accomplishments, including ending the
war in Iraq; ending Don't Ask Don't Tell, the policy preventing homosexuals
from serving openly in the military; and overhauling the country's health care
"It's not just about policy, it's about trust. Who do you trust?"
the president asked, flanked by a sea of supporters waving blue "Forward"
"Look, Ohio, you know me by now. You may not agree with every
decision I've made, Michelle doesn't always agree with me. You may be
frustrated with the pace of change … but I say what I mean and I mean what I
Nonpartisan political fact-checker PolitiFact on Nov. 3 took a
look at Obama's record on keeping his campaign promises from 2008. The group rated
38 percent as Kept, 16 percent Compromised and 17 percent Broken.
Twice during his speech the president was interrupted by audience
members shouting from the stands.
The first was a man on the balcony level of the arena
interrupted, shouting anti-abortion slogans and waving a sign showing mutilated
fetuses before being dragged out by about five law enforcement officers. Both were
drowned out by supporters.
Music legend Stevie Wonder opened the rally for Obama, playing a
number of his hits, opening up "Superstition" with a refrain of "on the right
track, can't go back."
Wonder discussed abortion policy between songs and urged Ohioans
who had not already voted to do so either early on Monday or Election Day.
So far, 28 percent of Ohio voters have already cast their
ballots. CNN reports that those votes favor Obama 63/35, according to public
Meanwhile on Sunday, Romney campaigned before an estimated crowd
of 25,000 in Pennsylvania, according to the Secret Service.
Political rallies always draw a number of the loyal opposition,
and this late-evening appearance was no different. Only five people protested
near the line to the arena, but what they lacked in number they attempted to
make up for in message.
One large sign read "Obama: 666" and another "Obama is the Beast,"
alluding to a character in the Christian Biblical book of Revelation.
A man who only identified himself as Brooks carried a large
anti-abortion sign that showed pieces of a dismembered fetus.
"I'm here to stand up for the innocent blood that has been shed
in this land to the tune of 56 million," Brooks said. He said he was opposed to
the politics of both major party presidential candidates.
"I pray for Barack Obama because his beliefs are of the
Antichrist, just like Romney," Brooks said.
Brooks said his message for those in line was for them to vote
for Jesus — not on the ballot, but through their actions and through candidates
that espoused Christian beliefs.
"Obama is not going to change things, Romney is not going to
change things," Brooks said. "In the last days there are many Christs, but not
the Christ of the Bible. The Christ of the Bible is not for killing children,
is not for homosexual marriage."
Violence begets violence; it certainly doesn't have the effect of bringing about effective communication that ultimately leads people to understand and embrace positive actions. So why would Ohio schools – institutions of learning and thought – allow hitting kids as punishment?
As county and state officials move to investigate and potentially prosecute voter fraud cases, local groups are pushing back, warning that the investigations could cause a chilling effect among voters.
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls became the latest to speak out in a letter to Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted.
"The current legal investigations perpetuate the idea that voter fraud is widespread, when it's not true," she wrote. "We need to work together to give citizens the confidence that the election process is fair and accessible to those who have followed the law and pre-determined process. When citizens are confused about the process of voting they are intimidated from exercising their full rights to vote, which erodes confidence in and the integrity of our democracy."
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio (ACLU) and League of Women Voters of Ohio sent similar letters to Husted in the past few weeks, echoing fears that the investigations will intimidate voters into staying out of future elections.
The controversy surrounds 39 "double voter" cases recently sent to the county prosecutor by the Hamilton County Board of Elections. In most of the cases, the voters in question sent in an absentee ballot prior to Election Day then voted on Election Day through a provisional ballot, which are given to voters when there's questions about eligibility. Even though the voters technically voted twice, their votes were only counted once.
The letters from Qualls and the League of Women Voters claim the cases were sent to the county prosecutor based on a narrow interpretation of state law and other sections of election law back the voters' actions.
The letters reference Ohio Revised Code Section 3509.09(B)(2),
which says, "If a registered elector appears to vote in that precinct
and that elector has requested an absent voter's ballot for that
election and the director has received a sealed identification envelope
purporting to contain that elector's voted absent voter's ballots for
that election, the elector shall be permitted to cast a provisional
ballot under section 3505.181 of the Revised Code in that precinct on the day of that election." The law goes on to clarify only one of the votes should be counted.
Husted broke a tie vote in the Hamilton County Board of Elections on May 31, siding with the Republicans on the board who wanted to send the case to the county prosecutor.
Alex Triantafilou, an elections board member and chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, says Republicans just want an investigation.
"I think anytime a person casts two ballots we ought to ask why," Triantafilou says. "This is not to prejudge any of these cases as criminal charges. That's not been our intention. What we want is a qualified investigator to ask the question and then answer it."
Tim Burke, chairman of the local elections board and the Hamilton County Democratic Party, disagrees: "This is a damn shame. What's happening to those voters is absolutely wrong."
Burke claims the law was followed and no further investigation is necessary. He alleges Republicans are trying to suppress voters.
"I fear that what's going on is that elements of the Republican Party want to create the impression that there is massive voter fraud going on, and they want to scare the hell out of people to intimidate them and discourage them from voting in the future," Burke says. "I think part of what's going on here is an effort to identify voter fraud in order to justify more restrictions on voting rights."
Triantafilou argues Democrats, including Burke, are playing politics: "It's a continuation of the kind of fear that Democrats try to instill in the electorate, and it's a political weapon. We're not trying to do that. They alleged voter suppression in the last election cycle. That was nonsensical. The problem really is fraud."
During an election year, city council and the mayor member profess to care about the most vulnerable in our society, but their actions are speaking much louder than words. Mayor Mark Mallory allowed a city budget proposal to go forward that would have eliminated all human services funding and the meager investment was only restored after groups like the YWCA Battered Women's Shelter and the Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless organized strong and vocal opposition and the money was restored.
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." — President Dwight Eisenhower, Farewell Address (1961)
It seems Ohio may soon get a controversial voter ID law. While speaking at a Tea Party event in Cincinnati on Monday, Secretary of State Jon Husted said the General Assembly is likely to take up a voter ID law after the November election.
"I was listening to a show one night where they talked about these onerous rules, these onerous photo ID rules and the onerous rules in Ohio on photo ID," he said. "Well, the photo ID law in Ohio is not onerous. As a matter of fact, I suspect the General Assembly will take up a more strict version of what we have after what we've been through with this election process."
Later on, an audience member commented on the issue by pointing out Ohioans can currently identify themselves with 12 different types of ID. In response, Husted clarified his position: "We need to streamline that because it's really hard for a poll worker to know exactly what they're supposed to be checking. And I'm quite confident the legislature is going to take that issue up."
Under current Ohio law, voters can go to the polls with state ID cards, driver's licenses, military IDs, utility bills, paychecks, bank statements and other forms of ID. Republicans have sometimes criticized the many options, particularly for not being state-issued and not requiring a photo.
Other states have taken up voter ID laws. Pennsylvania's controversial law requires voters to have state-issued photo ID. A Pennsylvania court recently upheld the law, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated the decision today and asked the lower court to reconsider. The ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court gives lower courts room to strike down the law.
Democrats criticize ID laws for suppressing voters. A study from researchers at the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis found nearly 700,000 young, minority voters will be unable to cast a ballot due to voter ID laws. Both young and minority voters tend to side with Democrats.
Republicans say the laws are necessary to protect elections from voter fraud. However, studies suggest in-person voter fraud is not a serious, widespread issue. A News21 report, a Carnegie-Knight investigative reporting project that looked at national public records, found 10 cases of alleged in-person voter fraud since 2000. That's less than one case a year nationwide.
The audio clips from the event, which was provided by the Ohio Democratic Party, can be heard here and here.
Husted's office could not be immediately reached for comment. This story will be updated if a comment becomes available.
UPDATE (4:25 P.M.): Matt McClellan, spokesperson for Husted, called CityBeat after this story was published.
"The Tea Party has generally been critical of the secretary's position on voter ID," he said, referring to Husted's past opposition of strict voter ID laws. "The comments he made at the event last night were environmental in general about what the secretary thought had been happening at the statehouse. His position, in general, is unchanged."
When pressed about what Husted meant when he advocated for "streamlining" laws, McClellan said Husted supported "simplification" of the current system. McClellan could not offer more details on what that means, and he said specifics would be up to the legislature to decide.
Chris Redfern, Ohio Democratic Party chairman, responded to Husted's suggestions in a statement: "As if Secretary of State Husted has not done enough to undermine access to Ohio's polls, now he's planning a secret post-Election Day assault on what forms of identification voters can present to cast a ballot. It's no surprise that after slashing voting access across the state, using his office for partisan advantage, and lying about Issue 2, now Husted is making plans to create obstacles for African Americans and seniors to vote."
As if the tightly wound Jean Schmidt hadn't embarrassed Greater Cincinnati enough with her odd remarks sparking a Saturday Night Live parody in 2005, this weekend it was John Boehner and Mitch McConnell taking their turn in the satirical spotlight.
In SNL's opening skit, Dan Ackroyd portrayed Boehner (the congressman from West Chester) and Darrell Hammond played McConnell (the U.S. senator from Louisville) as the pair plotted the Republican Party's misguided comeback and debated whom the GOP should take advice from, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh.
The Occupy Wall Street movement plans to occupy Sawyer Point this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., one of several protests planned in other cities since the protest over corporate money in politics began more than three weeks ago in New York. (UPDATE: The protest has been moved to Lytle Park due to an already scheduled event at Sawyer Point.)
The Cincinnati Enquirer did its usual muckraking on the subject, determining that the movement's "goals are vague" and then linking to a story quoting a member of the movement describing its goals quite succinctly:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. A suspect in Iowa will not have to go far to find a jury of his peers. Jury selection was underway in a court in Waterloo when a potential juror left her wallet on a bench. She returned from a break and found cash missing. Witnesses and security cameras in the court led authorities to a suspect. The man was another potential jury member. Police arranged a court date for him in the same legal system he had been serving a short time before. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

- BLOODSTORM: DVD review
- Posted by Deljhp - 07/08/12 at 06:07 PM
Director: Joseph J. Lawson. Review: Adam Wing.
'The Asylum presents' is a headline that sends shivers down the spine of film fans the world over. Responsible for cinematic atrocities (or mockbusters as they've come to be known) like Paranormal Entity and Snakes on a Train, The Asylum has been churning out direct-to-video masterpieces for the past 15 years. It's probably best known (in my world at least) for giving 80s pop stars Debbie Gibson and Tiffany a new lease of life, and reminding me once and for all why nostalgia is best left in the past. But films like Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus are sure to stand the test of time – unless of course it's quality entertainment you're after. In which case, you might want to give War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave a wide berth.
Joseph J. Lawson leads the charge on this one, which makes no difference to the outcome quite frankly. Quite why they changed the name however remains unclear. Bloodstorm is known as 'Nazis at the Centre of the Earth' in the US, which is much funnier (and way more accurate) than the somewhat deceptive Bloodstorm. Deep in Antarctica, a team of 'scientific researchers' (and I type that loosely) are abducted by a platoon of masked troopers who, since the fall of Nazi Germany, have hidden away in a secret base underneath the icy wastes. What do you mean, we've already seen Iron Sky? Have you not been paying attention at all? Iron Sky saw Nazis hiding on the dark side of the moon, whereas Bloodstorm attacks from beneath the surface, even if the end result is very similar. This isn't a lame attempt at cheap exploitation, ok?...Continue reading review.

January 31, 2009 The neverending Carter foreign policy follies
Jimmy Carter continues his foreign policy follies. Now he claims to have brokered an agreement between Hamas and Fatah to form a "unity " government -- but there are conditions. From the Boston Globe:
Serial meddling in foreign affairs has been a bad habit of Jimmy Carter's since he left office. Habitat for Humanity is a charity and is non-political; but his ventures in foreign policy infringe on the role of the President. Americans who engage in such foreign policy making should be subject to the Logan Act.
Bill Clinton was perpetually aggrieved by Carter's meddling during his administration and the bitterness lingers to this day. Carter frustrated and derailed Clinton's foreign policy approach towards North Korea and its nuclear weapons program (and this but just one example) and made it more likely that North Korea would continue its nuclear program
Now his meddling with Hamas and Fatah now may bring into existence a phony "unity government" that will usher in a new waterfall of foreign aid to Hamas (which will dominate the "unity" government until it is overthrown and dispensed with by them). Most former Presidents realize when their role is over; they move on to a different stage (sage counselor, charity work); there has never been a President more determined to continue his term in office indefinitely. He has caused a lot of harm (validating the elections of Hugo Chavez, spinning for that tyrant and many other tyrants, such as Yasser Arafat). He is a disgrace. Time to give him the hook and pull him off the stage.

The upmarket turbocharged engine is pretty average in terms of outright acceleration, however it's peppier around city because of its hyperbolic torsion. the most issue, however, is that the transmission system. Programmed for max fuel economy, it's reluctant to downshift for fast acceleration and spending unless you actually boot the throttle. 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Review

Founder Lori Lander's three girls were quickly approaching the difficult "tween" years when Lori became very motivated to find avenues that would help foster positive ways to openly communicate with her daughters about the difficult subjects that lie ahead.

Through education and inspiration, the GITK Mother-Daughter Speaker Series provides a powerful solution to the challenges we face raising teens in today's culture. The program delivers ways to connect and support mothers and daughters during these transitional and transformative teen years. GITK provides the first step in the mother-daughter journey through adolescence. Young women today need reliable sources for accurate information and inspiration, Girls in the Know provides that in an interactive and innovative way. Topics include:

Reblogged from ProBasketballTalk:
They are 15-7, on a five-game winning streak all on the road with a signature win now in Miami. Their shooters and offense starting to find a groove while they dominate the glass. They are a team to watch in the Pacific because they are just going to get better.
The Lakers wish we were that writing about them.

Look at Ross when he plays d. He slithers around screen like a snake and gets right up on guys. Honestly I'm starting to lose faith in demar. He is a great offensive player but his d has been terrible

That would be awesome..... except the rook coming in would never see the light of day.
It would also ensure BC couldn't trade any more future draft picks either.
Scary thought of the day: Raps don't give pick to OKC this year or next, Gay/Lowry leave, #2 pick goes to OKC in 2015. *knock on some crazy wood*

PASO ROBLES, Calif.- Paso Robles Joint Unified School District officials say 26 employees will be handed pink slips on Wednesday.
"I apologize to the lives that are being affected by this," said Board Member, Joan Summers.
Disheartening, apologetic, all words of sympathy were expressed Tuesday evening from the board members from the Paso Robles School District, as they announced cuts to staff.
"We're looking at positions such as bilingual pare educator, a pare educator, a computer person," said Dr. Ruben Canales, Director of Human Resources.
The layoffs include seven classified positions, from bilingual clerks to computer techs totaling 26 employees, the majority being part-time positions.
"We are still in a fragile state even though we have been bumped up in a qualified status and so with the governors local control funding formula proposal, a lot of categorical money or state dollars that fund particular programs are in question," said Canales.
The layoffs stem from the lack of funds, lack of work and declining enrollment, but the district remains hopeful.
"We're hoping when all is said and done that there will be money available to bring back and restore these positions and employees," said Canales.
The news hits close to home for other district employees.
"It's devastating, you work and you're putting your all into a position and to have that rejection notice come is a complete up whirl for your whole your family, your life, your emotion, everything," said Cindy Schroder, a local teacher.
Once the pink slips are distributed, the layoffs will become effective in 60 days.

text: Home Culture Talking Her Out of Skin Bleaching Won't Work Race Manners: This choice is one symptom of a society obsessed with whiteness. Being judgmental misses the point. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Sept. 25 2013 12:50 AM 0 Generic image (Thinkstock) (The Root) -- "I have a cousin who's lived here in the United States for a few years, although, like me, she is Nigerian. (My family moved here when I was younger.) She is becoming well adjusted to American life in my opinion, with the exception of one practice from home that she still clings to. She lightens her skin with harsh creams, and when I tell her it's harmful, not just physically but psychologically, it falls on deaf ears. "She is beautiful, and she responds as though I'm crazy or overanalyzing when I tell her all the problems there are with this besides physical harm. She cites tanning, makeup, etc., as common things many do to improve their appearance and says she just wants to look her best and plans to have a treatment done in a doctor's office the next time she visits home. How can I get through to her that this is a bad habit and that she must stop and love herself as she is? Please help." --Bothered by Bleaching I don't think you're crazy, and I don't think there's any such thing as overanalyzing when it comes to someone you care about doing themselves harm. But I want to make the case that your focus on your cousin's individual choices and your campaign to badger her into a brand of self-love that ignores her environment might be misguided. First, some background: Your letter is timely. A recent World Health Organization report revealed that Nigerian women are the biggest users of skin-lightening products, with a full 77 percent of women in that country bleaching their skin. And your home country is certainly not alone when it comes to what's actually a global practice. It happens all across the African Diaspora, in Asia and, yes, here in the United States. It's not new, either, not by a long shot. (Check out these old newspaper ads as evidence.) But lightening beauty parlors like the ones your cousin plans to visit are apparently doing a booming business in cities like Lagos. (Cue international scrutiny, accompanied by somber trend pieces with decidedly noncolorblind, jarring quotes like "Being lighter is more attractive.") What the coverage of this issue gets right is that skin bleaching is associated with really scary health consequences, from eczema to kidney failure and even cancer. It's easy to pair those risks with quotes touching on superficial "expert" explanations for the practice ("Every woman believes that when your skin is beautiful, people admire you," "I think it's because a lot of men want fair ladies, and the darker ones actually have an inferiority complex") to conclude, "For those who bleach, staying black is not beautiful at all." Add the often high price into the mix, and the hand-wringing coverage makes the women who whiten their skin seem as if they have misplaced priorities at best, but probably something more like deep-seated emotional or psychological issues. But when a full 77 percent of women are doing something -- when it's been going on for decades, propped up by a lucrative industry and plenty of advertising -- doesn't it make sense to look at the bigger picture rather than individual, seemingly irrational choices?
