Would love to be able to afford top end models of head torch but until I can, there is nothing at all wrong with this one as it will suit my needs perfectly. Still to be tested in the field, so to speak but it seems to be a straightforward item. 3 settings of white LED: dimmed, full and flashing. The bit I like best is the fact the head is adjustable angle, which is very handy for reading and not blinding other people. Adjustable headstraps and comes with 3 x AAA batteries in the pack to get you started. Decently priced item.
15/10/2013 23:04:34
Purchased online along with other items, but was faulty on arrival, failing to switch on. Advised Mountain Warehouse of the problem and a replacement was delivered the next day. This torch is very bright and straps are easy to adjust if required and fits very nicely. The price is very good and overall is really decent piece of equipment. Five stars are given to the product AND the company for a great customer service. Thank You
28/02/2013 08:01:36
It does the job perfectly. The head band could be a little more supportive and the batteries supplied could be of better quality and last longer, but excellent.
14/10/2013 11:05:11
Not yet had the opportunity to test the head torch, but if it gives the value of other Mountain Warehouse, I shall not be disappointed. Hence the 1 star.
08/08/2013 08:28:23
Good product but no instruction for use or fixing batteries. Fortunately I found the correct use and fixing batteries through trial and error.

Good illumination and battery life and very light-weight. Much better than my old model with worked on a heavy flat 4.5V battery.

I bought this head torch for night running - it is comfortable and well balanced and easily bright enough.

This past couple of weeks has seen the entry of my newest bit of kit into my arsenal of music-making tools and it should be all I need for quite a while! Last week I received my Roland GR-55 guitar synth as well as my East-West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra sample library. The EWQL stuff is actually being sold as 'by-one-get-one-free until the end of May (2011) so I took advantage of this and ordered the Ra library too, which is a rather cool library of ethnic instruments from around the world (get in touch if you want the link). On their website, you can have a listen to music made with these libraries if y0u follow the links and I aim to post my own couple of exploratory pieces on here next week. If you have a listen to the music, I'm sure you will agree that the results are truly amazing; a computer is playing the music!
The guitar synth also allows me to play samples such as the EWQL stuff and synth contained in my computer like you would with any midi keyboard. If you are unfamiliar with midi think of the cheap Casio keyboard you may have had when younger and it's ability to change sounds at the touch of a button. Then imagine this replicating instruments in a way that is actually realistic (amongst other technical extras) and you have a good idea what I can now do with my guitar; as you can imagine, the world of synth and sampling is very limited to somebody that cant play a keyboard so I had to save up for the guitar equivalent. Like in those role-playing computer games, I feel like I have opened up a a huge oaken door with a giant gold key after traversing many puzzles and hazards. The room behind the door is so huge that I can't see the walls and much of it is dimly lit so I can only just make some things out, whilst small spotlights highlight some other wonderful things in all their glory. Pretty cool.
The first task I gave myself with these new toys was to finish off some music I offered to make a friend for their home video. It was mainly images of architecture old and new with other scenic highlights from a trip abroad which allowed me to really inject all the drama I love so much when creating music (well, maybe I over-did the drama a tad, but I'm allowed to get excited eh! …and who can resist the chance of using 'Wagnerian tubas' when presented with pictures of the Reichstag!)
This previous piece was mostly written before I had the sample libraries so it turned out to be a mixture of synth from Logic Studio and orchestral sounds. Next, it was time to have a go at something solely using the orchestra but I decided to keep it simple. So, after work on Tuesday I spent a couple of hours making a short piece (and learning to use the software!). It was based on an idea of confused action and movement which manages to resolve itself in strength before making a swift exit. The next piece I will try this week will be something a little more melancholic and I will post whatever I come up with next week.
As well as now being able to play at orchestration on my guitar, my interests in synth and abstract sounds are also blossoming. For a while now I have talked a little about the project I am working on with photographer Lesley Flower and now I have an instrument I can use more intuitively I started work on a second piece. For those that don't know, the idea here is an experiment in atmosphere which will create a series of audio/visual pieces using Lesley's photographs as a starting point for sound. The sound will be designed in such a way as to enhance the overall experience although both elements will work together. I spoke a bit more about it in my post 'Audio/Visual Work and the Importance of Calm Thought' back in September. Anyway, my first incursion into this with my more intuitive instrument was Sunday evening…
The picture in question is an angled shot of raindrops on glass, some in focus, other parts out of focus; all very characteristic of Lesley's work. The main backdrop of the shot contains various shades of a soft grey and I took this as my main starting point, creating a backdrop which I felt echoed the the soft and calm effect the colours had on me. For the next layer, I decided to widen the atmosphere and throw in a few obvious references to the subject matter by spreading different types of 'droplet' and 'pitter-patter' noises across the soundscape. Some close, some far away; some more ethereal in nature, some more blunt. I then sat back with my headphones on and had a listen to what I had created whilst looking at the print. It was an OK backdrop but as my eyes wondered around the print there were aspects that I had missed. Firstly, some water droplets were in really sharp focus and their bulging appearance also had a light sheen on them. Also, parts of the print were fuzzy in terms of focus which left a feeling of wonder even though I was well aware what the haze covered. To bring a sense of focus to these points which a wondering eye my touch, I found that a very deep bass with a slow attack time gave a 'gloopy' enough sound and I combined this with a slight high-pitched sheen; I then combined them by giving them the same compression treatment and a nice and muddy (ie not clear) reverberation (echo to give a sense of space – muddy to try to blur the differences between the two sounds a little). I then spread these 'rain droplets' around various positions throughout the stereo field and made them intermittent enough so that their occurrence might seem like a discovery every now and then. To blur passages, I used parts of the same sequence of the 'droplets' with a series of distortions heavy on low mid sound frequencies. These sounds were mixed into the original 'raindrops' to make it seem like those particular parts ware blurred.
In other news, the future of my band Lunar Rising is in doubt after one of us asked the rest about their commitment level. We were then left two members down and that particular member being unsure if they could continue also. It's safe to say though that I'll make sure Lunar Rising lives on in some way. I had started to develop bringing in my new guitar synth into stage performance to heighten the whole experience, and I cant let that idea go to waste!
This month's Henry Spencer Project post was the first prose-only post for this project. My original idea was for the blog to be based around a fictional character who likes to hang around with a band but I ended up toning this idea down as it felt like I would be taking on too much work! Henry Spencer makes brief appearances during music posts but as I would still like to embellish the project with other bits of information I felt I would like to explore his character a little bit to help create an all-round experience….
Well, that's this week. Until next time!

Last weekend, in the wake of the mass shooting in Newtown, and the revelation that the person behind it might have been a troubled young man, a writer in Idaho, Liza Long, put up a blog post, ""I Am Adam Lanza's Mother," that purported to speak to the experience of Nancy Lanza, who had been her own son's first victim. Tightly written and extremely candid about the violent rages and suicide threats of her son, it quickly spread beyond its original home on the web, picking up millions of pageviews from Gawker, BuzzFeed, the Huffington Post and other outlets looking for another weekend traffic jolt during a trying time.

Christmas Music: Saint Etienne, Mariah Carey, Tuscadero, Mary Timony
I wrote a Christmas song once. It's been lost to the sands of time and warped cassettes, but it was a track that was not-very-vaguely about a dude I'd been seeing at the time. He lived in another state and liked Star Wars, which I had last seen when I was three, so I took the melody of the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria," wrote a few lyrics about lightsabers and plane trips, and asked a four-track-enabled friend to assist with guitar parts and recording. Et voila, a holiday love song, sung by a totally twee me. Sweaters and cocoa for all! Oh, and the guy and I broke up about two weeks later. READ MORE

PJ Harvey, "Written On The Forehead"
This just in: A new PJ Harvey song from her forthcoming album Let England Shake, which comes out next February. The song is a half-spiky, half-spacey track that finds Harvey exploring the upper register of her voice the way she did on White Chalk; it is called "Written On The Forehead," and it's definitely not what I expected after hearing other songs she'd been working on. (A sampling of artists/labels name-checked by friends who'd heard the track: Deerhunter, Cocteau Twins, the Knife, Kate Bush, "early 4AD," "almost Stones Throw.") But what fun would the predictable be? Stream after the jump. READ MORE

Receptionists: Just Another Budgetary Item To Cut

'Bon Appetit' Eats The Future
The new issue of Bon Appetit declares Grant Achatz's Chicago restaurant Next, a high-concept, ticketed joint that will "serve four menus per year from great moments in culinary history — or the future," one of the best restaurants in the country for a celebration. Perhaps the magazine took the restaurant's idea of eating in "the future" seriously, since the place has yet to open, and likely won't until early 2011. [Via]
'Cowboys & Aliens' Is Not Kidding, You Guys
"By the time the film, which cost about $100 million to produce, opens next July, the studio expects advertising and future promotions to have persuaded almost everyone that Mr. Favreau's movie is a tough-minded adventure on the order of Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven'—with aliens."
Ladies Who Blog, Listed
Here is a list of "125 Fearless Female Bloggers," most of whom apparently possess that quality because they're not afraid to post about SEO practices, people being "Too Fake On Facebook," and "How To Get Incoming One Way Backlinks to Your Blog." What these women are trying to say aside from "Look at me! I have a message!" is unclear, but that is precisely why I am never not fascinated by the alternate-universe Internet; it's not even the medium that is the message over there, but its amplification.

Guernsey is an island; one of the Channel Islands, it is situated in the English Channel 50 km away from France's Normandy Coast, but is a British Crown Dependency, self-governing and independent. It really is a little bit of heaven on Earth. The ancient name for Guernsey is Sarnia, "The Green Land", and … [Read more...]

Had an orange-brown color and a cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Good lacing. S: A nice aroma of malt, hops and something sugary. T: Tasted of malt, a little grain, caramel, and decent amount of hops. Not a classic maibock flavor, but still pretty well done. A well rounded flavor. M: A good amount of carbonation with a dry finish. Medium-bodied. D: An easy to drinkable, well made, drinkable beer.

Their influential books and steadfast promotion of brewing culture helped propel the craft brewing movement. Charlie and Fred agreed to work with us on this very special brew in honor of our 30th Anniversary. This Imperial Helles Bock is a testament to the ever-evolving brewer's art. Bold yet balanced with distinct toasted malt character, moderate sweetness, and clean floral hops. Brewed in the style of a Helles Bock, released once in 2010. Poured from a 750ml bottle to a Sierra Nevada imperial snifter. Served north of 57º Fahrenheit. (Appearance) Pours a creamy eggshell white head of a thick, sudsy consistency. Body color is a very hazy copper orange, with large, reserved carbonation. Retention is above average, with a medium thick surface cover. Appearance has certainly held up well. 3.75 (Smell) Time has imparted a few notable effects in the way this beer smells. The malt bill consists of a wet german pale malt, a caramel note, and a hint of rye. There are pronounced fruity esters of pear and apple that join a largely faded floral and grassy hop murmur. The Spices range from mild clove to zesty cinnamon, but are collectively shallow. Some mild oxidation is obvious. 3.25 (Taste) Malt bill is similar in composition, with a pronounced graininess to join the rye bread note. Fruity esters are more of mellow semi-sweet grape and raisin than of pear and apple, clove is mild. Hop presence is light and faded, some musty grass hops linger. Drinkability is very high and no flavors come off as cloying or forced. It's an enjoyable flavor, even after all this time. 3.75 (Mouthfeel) Texture is slick and mildly thick with a breaded cleanliness, very little off-flavors. Carbonation is light and nonintrusive. Body is light/medium for the style and medium overall. Alcohol presence is light. I really enjoy the texture of this beer. 4.25 (Overall) Perhaps not the best choice for aging, this beer has held up remarkably well over the past 3 years. The drinkability is very high and the alcohol isn't enough to tuck you in for the night. With very few off flavors and an overall enjoyable malt and yeast balance, I'm inclined to recommend this should you happen to find some in the near future. It may not be extraordinary by any means but it sure is tasty. 3.75 Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.'s 30th Anniversary Charlie, Fred & Ken's Bock 3.8/5.00 Serving type: bottle 07-05-2013 02:25:52 | More by Jadjunk nataku00California 3.56/5 rDev -9.9% look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Bottle poured into a tulip glass, couple of years old that I found in a box recently. Beer pours a cloudy copper with two fingers of fluffy off white head that quickly dissipates to a film. Good amount of carbonation rising up from the bottom of the glass, tiny bubbles floating up. Nose is caramel malt, cherry, yeast ester bubble gum, clove, banana, mild grassy hop note. Probably not the best beer to age, leads with caramel malt, cherry, and fruity ester flavor, but there's a bit of cardboard flavor. Still a bit of hop flavor, slightly grassy and floral on the finish, with some lingering caramel sweetness and the cardboard. Medium body, with some yeast particles, mildly carbonated so it's very soft on the tongue. Shouldn't have aged it, unintentionally.

Hints of banana and straw. Seamless flavor notes with a lot of complexity, mystery, and depth. T: Caramel apple up front, very tasty and delicious with depth and a sweet-sour liveliness. Moderate mint/floral hops work very well. Bitterness is clean and incredibly smooth. Overall, for an imperial beer this is super smooth, almost creamy (low carbonation), with a definite richness and no rough edges. Lots of melded flavors, very deftly done and the 2 years of aging probably helped to some extent. Not quite the imperial punch I'd be looking for though. Finish is a little dry with a rye bread quality and really makes me want to take another sip. Notes: Incredibly smooth but lots of flavors. The perfect fall beer with very high drinkability. Serving type: bottle 04-21-2013 22:16:47 | More by 4000qtrap GilGarpColorado 4.09/5 rDev +3.5% look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4 750 ml corked and caged bottle served chilled into a goblet. The 30th Anniversary Bock is very hazy amber orange color with thin head. It settles quickly leaving no lacing behind. Aroma is sweet and boozy with a fruity, slightly oxidized quality that actually works well together. Flavor is also predominantly sweet but fairly well balanced. It has the same fruity notes as in the nose but also has an earthy hoppy character. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and nicely carbonated. It's balanced and drinkable in a slow sippable way. Overall an enjoyable bock but probably the least favorite of the SN Anniversary beers. Serving type: bottle 02-25-2013 02:33:34 | More by GilGarp |

Replacements needed:

Xenopine Song: PKS-> T_Ras
Building Bridges: Believers-> CT
Virtual Worms: Uni-> Archaic
Happy Landings: Sparta-> over
The Cult Of Worms And Fungus: Cult-> Hercules

I'd like expierenced players to volunteer and I must say that replacement should not be a player which usually cancels all deals and agreements upon taking over.
I have had such cases and they did annoy me, thus I wouldn't like it be a disturbance for my fellow players.
I will also provide each replacer with short history of the game and introduction on strategy I have been using.
It is then up to him to what extent he chooses to continue my path.

So, I'm making a Tales of Vesperia RP in Casual Roleplay and I was hoping to get some people in. First, characters.
(Optional) Nickname:
Age: (any)
Height: (Optional.)
Abilities: (Artes and Mystic Artes and such.)
Skills: (Things they can do besides their Artes and Mystic Artes like for example, Jude's Snap Pivot from Tales of Xillia.)
Personality: (Optional.)
Rules: Standard Casual Roleplay rules.
So, my Character Sheet.
Name: Hakuba Takahashi
Nickname: Haku or Hashi. Taku is also a nickname.
Age: 19
Gender: Male.
Abilities: Hakuba has Artes similar to Yuri Lowell, such as Wolf Strike and Azure Edge and Shining Fang. Hakuba's Mystic Arte is Shining Blade, which makes his sword turn into one of pure light. He swings it multiple times at his enemy, appearing from different angles. Kind of like Yuri's Mystic Arte.
Skills: Thievery, Dash, Rock Throwing (The rock is super effective!)
History: Hakuba has been living in Zaphias for most of his life. He went on many adventures with Yuri Lowell and started using Yuri's style of fighting. He used it most times and thought that he should stick with it. Hakuba has been travelling with Yuri and Estelle for 2 years so far. With Yuri as his mentor, he got used to being a vigilante like Yuri. He then went to defy the knights and protect the people of the lower quarter. He became very strong and very skilled at rock throwing and thievery. He also became very fast, and most of his artes are based on speed. Since he throws rocks at knights, they get confused and think Yuri is there, only to be surprised by Hakuba and getting hit from behind by Yuri. That was the way they went. Now, Hakuba got into this big mess and he has to save the world, just like Yuri had to. Now, he's one of the people who have to save Terca Lumireis from its latest threat, the guild Dark Vesperia. Yuri felt like Hakuba was his son, since he didn't have any parents and Yuri was the closest thing to a parent Hakuba had.
Appearance: his appearance outside of Zaphias. Inside Zaphias he wears Yuri's normal attire.
Plot: A 19 year old male was looking out of the window in his small two story house in the lower quarter of Zaphias. The male had dark red hair that reached down to his thighs and he also has a black coat that reveals the chest, a brown belt with golden outlines on his stomach, black pants, and white boots with a brown ending. His hand touched the glass window and if anybody could see him clearly, he had a golden bracelet and a black headband. He sighed and thought about what he had to do. "Dark Vesperia..... Why do you have to be a threat to Terca Lumireis. More importantly, why was I a part of your group.... I also want to know why I have to finish you off..... It doesn't make sense. Nothing does." He said opening his window and vaulting over it, his long sword's brown handle and golden sheath in his left hand behind him. He was gripping the ropes tightly and put a hand down on the floor when he landed. "I should get going." He said looking over to the direction where he had to go. "This can wait.... Can't it?" He said looking up into the sky.
So, you get the story. I'm waiting for some people to join. Post your Character Sheets in this thread please. As the story goes on I want the people to learn more Artes and such. In the second part of the story I'll try and make it so we can train for our Mystic Artes. I might make it in the first part. But since Hakuba will be one of the main characters of this RP, I want him to have a good relationship with all of the characters that are on his side, the good side. You can also make somebody on the bad side or neutral. Your choice.

I think the box art's pretty good.I kind of like the simplicity of it.Slightly disappointed that they're going back to the family members again instead of concentrating on secondary characters like I'd hoped, but on the whole I like it.Not too bothered about the spines not matching either, really.
It actually looks kinda good, but I don't really like that it doesn't have two character heads on the spine as all the earlier sets had.
Is it really any surprise that they effortlessly slapped together a shitty, bland box art for a shitty, bland season?
Season 11 is my favorite season! I can't wait to buy this DVD!
*everyone points guns*
Critics are raving over Maggie's Toilet Training!
m really hopin that this isnt the artwork. i dont think it makes sense that would be a krusty head case but the a normal homer case
That box art sucks. What happened to "The Complete Eleventh Season" written below the Simpsons logo? It just won't feel the same!
I really hope that isnt the finished box art. It's not a bad idea, but doesn't fit with the previous boxes. Too simple of a look with character stock art and an American flag pattern (???). Plus what is that pattern at the top of the box?
Don't like it. I hope that's not the final box art.
That's terrible. It can't possibly be the actual artwork. It looked like someone photoshopped that in about 5 minutes.

Part of what made Season 11 a little hard to bear was it's excesses. It's over-the-top in so many ways. After 10 years the creators continued to push boundaries, exploring new territories and that resulted in destroying many things the fans had come to expect, including characterisations.
Maybe my definition of bland is different to yours, but that's all I meant.
I agree with (compu)globalhypermeganet here, season 11 has many weak points, but blandness is certainly not one of them.
Anyway, I really like the new box. I'll probabably get the standard boxes over the heads this time....
That season eleven box art looks pretty professional and sleek imo. Only complaint is the random pattern at the top. But yeah, there really isn't much incentive to buy this one regardless.
good looking box art. simple and effective.
I don't mind that box art. Although I'm going to continue getting the Head Boxes.
I kinda like it, simple, yet effective. That said, it is very bland and I would have much prefered something else, more in line with the seasons 6-10 boxes. Other than that my main problem with it is that the spines won't line up. I want those two little heads on the side dammit!
Maybe they wanted to wait until all the Mel Gibson crap died down?
For christ's sake, just wank. Everyone wanks.
Your dad wanks. Your grandad wanks. The priests wank. I bet the pope has a good tug on his todger once in a while.
That looks ok but the blue could be a bit more vibrant. The drawing of Homer reminds me of when tv guide did this
00 32 15 19 4 21 2 25 17 34 6 27 13 36 11 30 8 23
10 5 24 16 33 1 20 14 31 9 22 18 29 7 28 12 35 3 26 0
Well, here it is:
If all of the standard boxes had looked like this one, it would have been awesome. The head boxes look pretty, but are a pain in the arse from a practical point of view. The standard boxes are practical, but don't look that great.
If they all looked like this, I'd probably have them face out on the shelf.

In Guinea, the Population Council has assisted organizations that encourage the abandonment of female genital mutilation/cutting and conducted situation analysis of service-delivery points that offer family planning and maternal and child health services.
Currently Guinea is one of 11 countries participating in the African Forum on Emergency Contraception, or ECafrique, a network that seeks to increase the availability of high-quality emergency contraception (EC) services in Africa.
Highlights of past and present work
- Supports research, advocacy, and service-delivery interventions at the country level as a member of ECafrique, a bilingual, international network of health care and business professionals from more than 200 institutions that seeks to increase the availability of high-quality emergency contraception (EC) services in Africa.
- Conducted a situation analysis of service-delivery points offering family planning services as well as clinics providing maternal and child health services. Study results were used to develop national health programs such as Programme National de Développement Sanitaire.
- Provided technical assistance to organizations seeking to improve strategies to encourage abandonment of female genital mutilation/cutting.

Dietitian's tip: Instead of topping canned sweet potatoes with a glaze and miniature marshmallows, this version uses fresh sweet potatoes and a lighter sweet coating, which brings out the flavor of the sweet potatoes and saves calories.
Serves 8
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large), peeled and cut into wedges
Cracked black pepper or chopped herb of choice (rosemary, sage or thyme), to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
To make the sauce, in a small bowl add the water, brown sugar, honey and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
Place a single layer of sweet potatoes in the baking pan. Pour the sauce over the sweet potatoes. Turn to coat them.
Cover and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Turn the sweet potatoes once or twice to continue coating them. When tender, remove the cover and continue to bake until the glaze is set, about 15 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish and top with pepper or chopped herb of choice. Serve immediately.

The Young Africans present 'Our African Dream' in Superior
The internationally acclaimed African Children's presents the Young African's in Our African Dream tour at 6:30 p.m. May 23 at Zion Lutheran Church.
The internationally acclaimed African Children's presents the Young African's in Our African Dream tour at 6:30 p.m. May 23 at Zion Lutheran Church. The Young Africans are a gifted group of singers, musicians and dancers who were all once a part of the world-renowned African Children's Choir.
Now ages 17-21 and more talented than ever, they are poised to fulfill their promise and make a difference in their communities back home. They are thrilled to share what God has been doing in their lives. Our African Dream is a powerful and uplifting presentation that showcases the best of African dance and music, while bringing new, vibrant life to American spirituals, contemporary worship songs and gospel.
Proceeds from concert performances allow the African Children's Choir to raise global awareness of the plight of millions of orphaned and abandoned children in Africa. Donations directly support the expansion of sponsorship and education programs for current choir children and thousands of other students they represent.
The Music for Life Institute's (MFLI) purpose is to help create new leadership for tomorrow's Africa. Working in seven African countries, MFLI has educated over 52,000 children and impacted the lives of over 100,000 people through its relief and development programs during its history. The African Children's Choir is MFLI's major international program. In addition to education the Choir finances numerous relief and development projects throughout Africa, including the Music for Life Centers in AIDS-devastated South Africa, and food relief containers to war-torn Sudan. Concerts are free and open to all. A free-will offering is taken during the performance to support African Children's Choir programs.

NBA AM: Austin Rivers Ready for Transition
Austin Rivers playing in the NBA always seemed like a foregone conclusion. For years, there has been a considerable amount of hype around the scoring guard. Word of Doc Rivers' talented son started to spread when he was starring at Winter Park High School in Orlando, where he would win back-to-back state championships. Rivers was ranked as the top high school player in his class ahead of familiar names such as Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Brad Beal.
Last year, Rivers arrived at Duke University and took the program's reins as a freshman. He led the Blue Devils in scoring, averaging 15.4 points on 43.3 percent shooting. After one season, Rivers decided to leave school and enter the 2012 NBA Draft. Even though he was a lock to be selected in the lottery, there were many people who felt he should've returned to Durham and continued his development.
After being selected tenth overall by the New Orleans Hornets, Rivers doesn't regret his decision. The 19-year-old believes he's ready to make the transition to the NBA.
"You don't come out of school early unless you know you're ready," Rivers told HOOPSWORLD. "That's one of the reasons that I came out: I know I can handle it. It's a long season. One night can't bring you down, you have to come back the next night. It's 82 games and if you're a good team, it should be almost 100 games. But you just have to go out there, play hard and keep competing. I think that's the main thing to transition to the NBA."
Rivers believes he's landed in the perfect situation. With Jarrett Jack no longer on the roster, Rivers will likely start from day one and form an impressive young core with Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson. The group will grow together and could become very scary in several years.
One of the hardest things for a rookie to do is earn his head coach's trust. Rivers doesn't have to worry about that since he's already very close with Hornets head coach Monty Williams. Williams played with Doc in New York and San Antonio and was coached by him in Orlando. The two remained friends over the years, and Williams has known Austin since he was wearing diapers. He also knows his game, having watched him at every step of his development. Shortly after Rivers was drafted, Williams met with him and told him not to worry about playing a certain position or role, but instead to just focus on being himself. Williams won't limit Rivers and their bond will make his transition to the pros even easier.
"It's been really great," Rivers said of getting acclimated in New Orleans. "They've really been accepting and it's a place I truthfully wanted to go to. I feel like the team resembles the city. It's on the up-and-coming. The city is rebuilding slowly and getting stronger. The communities are getting better. I think it's the same with our team. We have new pieces now and we're starting to get better and better, to the point now where we have a team that can start doing some things."
Many have wondered how Rivers will co-exist with Gordon, who signed a new four-year deal this offseason. When Gordon was trying to talk his way out of New Orleans after signing an offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns, he criticized the selection by saying that the Hornets needed a big man rather than another guard. It was nothing personal and more of a shot at the front office than at Rivers, but it still raised questions about whether the two scorers could play alongside one another. However, Rivers isn't concerned. He believes they can be successful and make each other better.
"I see it (working) perfectly," Rivers said of playing alongside Gordon. "I think it's going to be great. Having Eric with me, we can both be on the ball. For such prolific scorers like we both are, especially him because he's been in the league scoring for awhile, I think I can help with the pressure. If people were overplaying on him, they can't do that now. My job is just to go in there and attack. I want to make plays for my teammates and make things easier for players like Eric. I think him coming back was huge. We have a lot of pieces and I'm really excited to play with him and also learn from him. We're very similar in ways, but we can really play with each other I think. If you look at all of the great teams in the NBA right now, they have combos at the one and the two, with great players at those positions. I'm really excited about that."
The first step in Rivers' transition occurred last week, when he played in the Las Vegas Summer League. He played in two games, averaging 10 points and 3.5 assists, but had to miss the final three games with a sore ankle and foot. While he didn't shoot the ball particularly well, Rivers enjoyed the experience.
"It's been exciting," Rivers said. "I've been able to come out here, work on things, see where I'm at and compete. Summer league is a little taste of what the NBA is like. It's good to go out there with a new role and a new situation. It's fun."
Rivers' NBA arrival has been highly anticipated and all eyes will be on the teenager when he makes his debut in October. He'll be met with enormous expectations and intense pressure, but that's nothing new for the phenom. Rivers has been preparing for this moment his entire life.
When Rivers' name was called on draft night, his proud father embraced him. After telling Austin that he loved him, Doc had one message for his son: "You are ready."
Lowry, Casey Click in Toronto: It didn't take long for Kyle Lowry and Dwane Casey to start preparing for next season. During the Las Vegas Summer League, Lowry and Casey were sitting courtside, going over plays and breaking down the team's personnel. The Toronto Raptors' point guard and head coach have known each other for several years, and they're looking forward to working together this season.
The Raptors acquired Lowry from the Houston Rockets earlier this month in exchange for Gary Forbes and a protected future first-round pick. Casey, who is a defensive-minded coach, couldn't have been happier with the move. The 26-year-old point guard is known for his tenacious defense and he's coming off a career-year that saw him average 14.3 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals. Casey believes that Lowry will fit right in with the Raptors.
"I was excited," Casey said. "Kyle represents everything that I've been preaching and he fits the culture that we've started in Toronto. I was excited and happy. He's a young man who exemplifies our style of play with his toughness and grittiness. He has made himself into an excellent NBA player and he's ready to take the next step and reach that next level. I feel he's one of the elite point guards in the league."
"I just have to prove it and show that he's right," Lowry said in response to Casey's praise. "That's my goal. My goal is to make our team better and do the best I can possibly do. I want to push us to the limit and make the playoffs this year."
Lowry's transition should be smooth, especially since Casey is already starting to bring him up to speed.
"It won't take long," Lowry said of acclimating to his new team. "He's a great coach and he's going to make sure I get it and make sure we all get it. I'm the leader of the team and I'm just going to be out there doing what I do. It's not going to take me long at all. We talked about some sets already and they're not too difficult. You just have to go out there and executive them."
Casey is already getting excited about how Lowry will change Toronto's defensive approach.
"It's a great plus for us," Casey said. "Now, we don't have to commit a second big in our pick-and-roll coverage and we can have more one-on-one coverage. I can say, 'Kyle, you guard your guy. Landry (Fields), you guard your guy.' We have a lot of guys who can stay home and who don't need quick help. That's a huge plus. His leadership is going to be huge for us too, setting the tone for everybody else."
During his stint with the Houston Rockets, Lowry didn't get along with head coach Kevin McHale. The two men butted heads, culminating in Lowry publically criticizing McHale and essentially calling for him to be fired. In Toronto, Lowry won't have similar issues since he and Casey are on the same page and have a strong relationship.
"I trust Kyle," Casey said. "Not to say that I don't trust Jose (Calderon), but I've known Kyle longer so there's a tremendous amount of trust and respect that goes both ways. That's huge, that line of communication. I want to have that connection with my point guards and it's there. That's something that goes a long way in a relationship."
"Is it going to be hunky-dory all the time? No. We'll agree to disagree a lot," Casey said with a smile.
"And he's probably going to win most of the time," Lowry said with a laugh.
"At the end of the day," Casey said, "it's about winning, doing whatever we can to help our team win."
Aldridge Excited About Blazers' Moves: The Portland Trail Blazers have had a busy offseason. After failing to live up to expectations last season, the Blazers are in the midst of an overhaul. Nearly every veteran from last year's team is gone including Gerald Wallace, Marcus Camby, Raymond Felton, Jamal Crawford and Kurt Thomas. They've been replaced by young talent such as Damian Lillard, Meyers Leonard, Will Barton, J.J. Hickson, Victor Claver and Joel Freeland, all of whom are under 25 years old.
While the Blazers have gotten younger and may need several years to develop before contending in the Western Conference, LaMarcus Aldridge is pleased with the front office's recent moves. He believes that new general manager Neil Olshey has assembled a talented, up-and-coming team.
"They look really good," Aldridge told HOOPSWORLD at the Las Vegas Summer League. "(Lillard) is really, really good and (Leonard) is going to be really good. Our future is looking bright."
"He's bringing in a lot of guys who are really good," Aldridge said of Olshey. "These are guys who are competitors who can help us win now. We just have to work. We have a great group of guys. Now, we just have to start working out together. We have a bunch of talented, athletic guys. We're good to go."
Olshey was also able to re-sign Nicolas Batum to a four-year deal, matching the large offer sheet that the Minnesota Timberwolves extended to the small forward. Aldridge believes that bringing Batum back was a very important move.
"It's big," Aldridge said. "He's a big-time player for us. Having him back and feeling comfortable is really important for us."
Even more important for the Blazers is Aldridge's health. The power forward underwent season-ending surgery on his right hip in April. His rehab was going well and he was making significant progress until last month, when he contracted a blood virus that hospitalized him for a week. If it had gone untreated, the virus could have been deadly and Aldridge described it as the worst he's ever felt in his life. Now, after receiving treatment and resuming his rehab, he's doing better and nearing a return to the court.
"I'm working out already," Aldridge said. "I'm at about 99 percent, maybe 98 percent. I have about one more week and then I can go five-on-five."
When Aldridge returns, he'll be playing five-on-five with many new teammates, but he believes the franchise is heading in the right direction and that their best basketball is ahead.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
In the old days, system administrators
learned their craft from older and wiser admins. Of course, in those days, duty rosters were drawn around the ratio of several administrators for a single computer, so there were many chances for mentoring moments. As we all know, a changed occurred somewhere overnight, and suddenly the scenario was more like several computers for a single admin. System admins were suddenly less like stokers tending a furnace and more like shepherds tending a flock. The big companies still had teams of admins, but more and more small companies wanted to invest in hardware, and they wanted to pay some outsider to come set it up. The software companies, meanwhile, were rapidly inventing tools for PC networking, and, to extend the shepherd analogy, every year or two, the systems these admins tended would morph into totally new and unexpected varieties of sheep.

text: Home Culture Have Black Americans Left Baseball? Hall of Famer Dave Winfield and others weigh in on what has happened since the days of Jackie Robinson. By: Keli Goff Posted: April 18 2013 12:27 AM 0 Charles Clark with son Ethan (Courtesy of Charles Clark) (The Root) -- While the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 has become a certified success, attracting a diverse audience on its way to becoming No. 1 at the box office during its opening weekend, black Americans are still facing barriers to the baseball field. The opening of 42 occurred several days before the annual celebration of Jackie Robinson Day -- April 15, the day Robinson officially broke the color barrier -- when every baseball player, manager, coach and umpire in Major League Baseball sports his number, 42. But in recent decades, the number of African-American players has decreased with each passing year. According to reports, the representation of African-American players in professional baseball is at its lowest point since Robinson and others first began integrating the game, at just around 8 percent. That marks a significant decline from the 1970s, when some estimates placed the representation of black players at around 27 percent. Baseball historian Rob Ruck says the percentage of African-American players was probably closer to 19 percent in the 1970s, while the 27 percent number likely includes Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latino players. The decline of African-American participation in baseball is a stark contrast to the days of the Negro Leagues, which nurtured Robinson, when baseball was seen as more than a mere sport but was also a community pastime. The reason for the sport's decline in black American communities is complex and multilayered. Cost Is a Factor Baseball Hall of Famer Dave Winfield, who is African American, currently serves as executive vice president and senior adviser of the San Diego Padres. He chalked up the decline in African-American participation in the sport to "the three C's," which, he told The Root, stand for continuity, cost and competition. Continuity, he explained, means the importance of consistent exposure to the sport throughout a player's school years, something that is less likely to happen today because of the second C, which is cost. Baseball "didn't cost me much as I grew up," he said. "There were no travel teams/club teams, tournaments you have to pay for now." He then explained the third C, competition. "When I grew up, baseball was No. 1 in America. Now it has the competition of the other sports -- NBA, NFL, golf, you name it." Ruck, author of Raceball: How the Major Leagues Colonized the Black and Latin Game, echoed Winfield's sentiments regarding the financial barriers to the sport that now exist for many poor kids, a socioeconomic reality disproportionately represented in communities of color. Little League and club expenses as well as travel can run between $3,000 and $5,000 annually, expenses that by default make economic and racial diversity less likely among participants.
