Product Summary
This is an AG2 Anti-Glare Screen Protector for Apple iPad 2. It protects and transforms your screen, providing a medium matte finish that gives you glare reduction with exceptional clarity.
The AG2 anti-glare coating is designed to provide an excellent medium between Anti-Glare and Glossy. AG2 itself stands for Anti-Grain Anti-Glare; many matte and anti-glare finishes create heavy distortion and obvious visual "grains", but the AG2 coating manages to pack 60% of a standard Anti-Glare coating's glare-reducing abilities while being almost as clear as a glossy screen.

Last of this Pu-erh from Ian (and by the way where is our friend IAN?)
It's been months since I reviewed this Pu-erh…and a lot of Pu-erh has been DRUNK by me. Or should I say has been DRUNKEN. That's better. I've been drinking Pu-erhs for months since then and enjoying myself.I've had lots more experience with and can tell a real difference between review 1 and what I am tasting in this review.
This flavor is not horribly bad. There is a nose and taste to the
Pu-erh that resembles bean sprouts and is dusty tasting. I did a rinse of the leaves so that's not an issue. You'd almost swear that someone threw in a small handful of potting soil because the sour earthiness is present but not in the usual warm and inviting way. I wish the flavor was more caramel or salty rich flavored but it's not. The mushroom taste that I detected the first time around, well…it got lost in the dustiness. I looked in the cup and it's cloudy. Not that great a Pu-erh.
No bells and whistles. Ah.
This is good confirmation that my taste must be improving. (Now Amy Oh had better not make a comment about me being a tea snob…I'll get sensitive!)
We all become transformed after a time by the access to the fantastic variety of wondrous tea's. It's bound to happen that we change and appreciate quality tea…and that our palate developes.
Onward and upward!
Maybe he has a girlfriend! I know he can't drive yet! Yooohoooo Ian, did Teavana suck you into a sales pitch?!

A 31-year-old woman of Serenje district has killed and eaten her two-year-child.
The woman identified as Sarah Mwelwa admitted to the bizarre murder after killing and cooking her own child and justified her action.
Sarah later buried the head and intestines of her offspring behind the house.
She said the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) has restricted poaching in the area which is a source of meat and decided to eat her baby as a substitute.
Serenje District Commissioner Charles Mwelwa confirmed the incident and said after the women was interrogated, she admitted killing and eating her child.
Mwelwa said the woman was picked up by members of the village where she resided and taken to chieftainess Serenje.
The woman was later surrendered to police officers for further investigations and she was subsequently arrested.

After winning its America East opener against Vermont, the Binghamton women's lacrosse team has lost two straight, falling to UMBC on April 3 before dropping a 13-12 heartbreaker to New Hampshire last Saturday. The Bearcats (2-8, 1-2 America East) will look to buck the losing trend when they visit Boston University this weekend.
But bringing the skid to an end against the Terriers could prove to be a challenge given Boston's heralded history in the America East. The Terriers (4-6, 1-2 AE), who have won nine conference championships, are led by All-American senior attack Danielle Etrasco, who has distributed 10 assists to go with 37 goals this season.
Binghamton has never beaten Boston since joining the America East in 2002, falling to the Terriers by as many as 20 goals. But last season, the Bearcats nearly pulled off the upset before losing 18-16, the narrowest-ever margin between the two programs.
In that contest, one that featured nine ties, Binghamton held leads in both halves. But the Bearcats could not erase a late 17-14 deficit.
Binghamton senior midfield Katherine Hunsberger posted a career-high six goals in the contest while senior attack Kimberly McGeever added two goals and three assists. This year, Hunsberger and McGeever rank first and second on the team in points, with 23 and 22, respectively.
Boston University, coming off a 20-17 victory over Vermont, is just 2-3 in its last five games. But regardless of the Terriers' recent struggles, the Bearcats expect a challenge on Saturday.
"Boston has always been a top team in the conference, and being able to take it to them last year was definitely exciting," senior captain defense Kristin Pennino said. "This year we are in a good position to potentially make [the] playoffs which is something the Bearcats women's lacrosse program has never done. We have been preparing really hard all week, and everyone is ready to play all out on Saturday."
Boston tied for second in the America East preseason poll and currently stands in a fourth-place tie with Binghamton and New Hampshire.
Just four teams earn bids to the conference tournament, making any opportunity to gain ground all the more important.
A Binghamton win coupled with a New Hampshire loss to first-place Stony Brook would put the Bearcats in a tie for third place with two conference games remaining.
Faceoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Boston University's Nickerson Field.

Ground a state plane, Senate leader says | Feb. 10, story
State needs to curb wasteful ways
Thanks to Mary Ellen Klas and Breanne Gilpatrick of your Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau for alerting taxpayers to the fact that during this time of economic crisis, state officials are wasting huge amounts of money owning, operating, insuring and maintaining aircraft to haul top-tier public servants around the state when clearly there are transportation alternatives available at a fraction of the cost.
Of course with the size of Florida, it is not cost-effective for many of our public servants to drive to and from Tallahassee. However, there are less expensive ways to fly Florida's friendly skies.
I just about choked when I read that our state planes were flying empty to pick up politicians for one-way trips to Tallahassee. Privately owned air taxi services only bill for the time the passengers are in the aircraft and could easily calculate the cost of added passengers for those public servants who want to bring along family members and reimburse the state for their travel.
It is painful to think about our police, firefighters, teachers and other public servants being laid off because Florida is in the red while seeing this kind of waste.

The destructive center | Feb. 10, Paul Krugman column
For some, spending will never be enough
Recently the St. Petersburg Times opinion pages have provided a good amount of space for radical left-wing economist Paul Krugman to expound upon his politics as well as his economics. Nobel prizes, at least in the "soft" disciplines such as economics, seem to be awarded as much on politics as well as accomplishment (provided those politics lean in a direction favored by the selection committee).
Krugman would like to reset the current "centrist" position so far to the left that it would be in danger of falling off the far edge of the flat Earth. He and his ideologue comrades will not be happy until the federal government grows until it controls virtually all of our goods, services and means of production.
No amount of taxpayer money for an economic "stimulus" package will ever be enough for them, no matter what the consequences to our children and their children on down the line.
Joseph Hill, Panama City
Stimulus needs to be big
Having read many articles (pro and con) on the necessity of these large stimulus packages, I have been convinced by Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman's observation that Roosevelt's New Deal programs were actually too timid and that it took the massive stimulus of World War II to finally pull us out of the Great Depression.
As a child, I lived through the 1930s and '40s, and Krugman's points ring true. So I am convinced that a stimulus is required now and it must be very large and very fast to save jobs — especially to counter teacher layoffs and provide health and economic benefits to the unemployed.

Crist, Obama go bipartisan | Feb. 11, story
Wise choice
As our state and country continue to face so many unsettling events, I was appalled at the statement by Ana Navarro, a Republican consultant, who said, "Politically, Charlie Crist is putting the Florida Republican federal elected representatives in a very tough spot."
Gov. Crist chose to make a bipartisan appearance with President Obama in Fort Myers rather than have lunch with Jeb Bush and other former governors.
I commend our governor. He made the appropriate decision.
Valerie Ginn, St. Petersburg
Don't gloss over the waste in stimulus Feb. 10, letter
Selective frugality
The letter writer states: "Personally, I'm glad some people in Washington still care about those of us who pay the bills they create."
Oh, really? Where were those folks who cared about those of us who pay the bills when President George W. Bush was dumping a billion dollars or more a week — which was not budgeted — for his stupid little war in Iraq? We reaped a big windfall from that giant exercise in futility. And it was what?
Doug Bauer, Clearwater
Joe Biden
A gaffe riot
I knew when Barack Obama chose Joe Biden as his vice presidential candidate we were in for some entertaining press. I have not been disappointed. Biden simply cannot go a week without saying something stupid or embarrassing to the president or his party.
In a recent moment of candor, he said that no matter what the administration does, they have a 30 percent chance of getting it wrong. This was by far his best to date. (Although I think the percentage should have been about 95 percent.)
You have to wonder what happens to him after one of his infamous gaffes. Does Obama threaten to muzzle him? Does he sit him down and warn him to say as little as possible, or else?
Don't be too hard on the old guy, Obama, he is an American comedy treasure!

Month of black history outdated | Feb. 9, Cynthia Tucker column
We need to remember
I have to disagree with Cynthia Tucker's thesis that Black History Month is outdated. Like Germany's goal to never forget the Holocaust, the United States should never forget how people were captured in their native lands, brought across the ocean in chains, in worse conditions than animals, and sold in markets, like cattle, and then cared for and used by their owners in ways we wouldn't care for and use jailed criminals.
History is still all about the successes and failures of white males who came from Europe, killed or rounded up the Native Americans and forced them onto reservations, brought Africans and Asians from their native countries to slave for them in jobs they would not do. Still, today, they use and abuse Central and South Americans and Asians who are "allowed" to cross the borders or to be shipped in trucks or container ships into this country, illegally, so they can slave at poverty wages until they are found to be an inconvenience. And women's historical contributions are all about sewing flags, raising kids and working in the home or in the menial jobs of government and business.
So we should not do away with Black History Month.
M. Diane Hodson, Ph.D., St. Petersburg
Month of black history outdated | Feb. 9, Cynthia Tucker column
An overdue idea
Well done. This was very well written and it is such a simple proposal that is overdue.
I hope more readers review this and come to support this idea. Yes, I think we could all live with this change in thinking.

Evolution debate may be back | Feb. 10, news brief
No alternative
So Republican state Sen. Stephen Wise wants schools to "teach the other side" of Darwinian evolution.
There is no "other side." Evolution is testable, observable, falsifiable fact. So-called intelligent design is fundamentalist religion.
As Richard Dawkins says, if you're going to teach the creationist alternative "theory" to evolution, then you have to teach the "stork" alternative theory to parturition.
Nick Hobart, New Port Richey
Tolerate celebration | Feb. 10, letter
Destruction is intolerable
I wish to remind the letter writer that a "celebration" is supposed to be just that. It's not a time for destroying and mangling people's property. And it's certainly not a time for urinating, fornicating and throwing up on someone's property — and not in public. Those who feel this is the way to attend a celebration need some "heavy duty" evaluation.
Once a year or 10 times a year, this is not right. And the people who live in those areas of destruction and filth are the ones who must clean up and re-sod or whatever else is needed to restore their property.
Martha Wakaruk, Brooksville


text: Hi all, I'm very excited to announce the first release of Yi since last summer. It is relatively light on new features, but it finally should compile nicely on friendly machines. This means, for the most part, machines with the latest Haskell Platform installed. (Windows, unfortunately, has not been tested all that much. See details below, though, for install info.) ## What's new? * New vte UI. This is a terminal UI inside a GUI, much like gvim. It depends on Gtk2Hs for the GUI, and then launches the vty UI inside the terminal. * Compatibility with the latest Haskell Platform release * Start yi-contrib package. We intend to move more stuff here, to clean up the core yi package. * We're now on GitHub (and mirrored on Google Code)! See below for info. ## What's Yi? Yi is a text editor written in Haskell and extensible in Haskell. The long-term goal of the Yi project is to provide the editor of choice for Haskell programmers. Yi now works relatively well in the terminal, using the vty package, and also has Gtk frontends using vte (which interfaces with the terminal interface) and a Pango frontend. There is also a Cocoa frontend under (slow) development. ## Installation Using cabal install: $ cabal update $ cabal install yi The default UI depends on the vty package, which will only compile with the ncurses development headers available. On Ubuntu, you need to install the `libncurses5-dev` package. On Windows, you'll need to disable the default vty terminal UI, and use a Gtk UI instead (the vte UI requires vty, so you can't install that either): $ cabal install yi -f-vty -fpango (Windows support is not well-tested, though.) Optionally also install the contrib package: $ cabal install yi-contrib ## Features * A purely functional editor core * Key-bindings written as parsers of the input * Emacs, Vim and (partial) Cua emulations provided by default * Console front-end (Gtk2Hs and Cocoa front-ends in development) * Static configuration (XMonad style) for fast load * Haskell support: * Lexical highlighting and (unicode-based) beautification. * Layout-aware parenthesis-matching * Auto-indentation * cabal-build within the editor * Syntax highlighting for a number of other languages (latex, python, perl, ...) ## More Info Read the README [1] on GitHub for more information. The source code [2] is also hosted there. ## Credits This release is brought to you by: * Alexey Levan * Gwern Branwen * Issac Trotts * Jean-Philippe Bernardy * Jeff Wheeler * Jeremy Wall * Maciej Piechotka * Malte Sommerkorn and all the contributors to the previous versions. Also, Yi would not exist without all the work put into the Haskell platform.

On my iPad, google now takes up half of the vertical side of my page with "related searches." This cuts down on the number of search results per page, so now I only get about half the number of results per page as before.
Can I get the "related searches" back to the bottom of the page, listed horizontally? Can I get rid of it altogether?

Day 17
Posted on June 28, 2012
Today was as full data processing day for Team Hydro™. Personally the biggest challenge I am facing now is learning the ArcHydro toolset (which has a compact 187pg tutorial). My goal was to do a dry run using a 10 DEM of Kauai, following the steps in the tutorial, and compare my results with the official GIS layers available in the state Hawaii GIS site. The complication this creates is that I am not using the provided tutorial data so if I encounter an error it is entirely up to me to figure out what is causing the error and how to fix it.
I have made some progress, but I am still struggling with the preprocessing stage. Still, I believe this will be invaluable when I do get the tool working since I will have a direct way to test the accuracy of my initial results before really drilling down into our projects survey area.
We did not end up doing any field work today, but we are planning on leaving a little early tomorrow so we can get our final embayment surveyed when the weather is (hopefully) calmer.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Rick Santorum won the Louisiana Republican primary on Saturday, CNN projected based on exit polls, adding an 11th state to his total but still trailing Mitt Romney by a wide margin in the national delegate count.
The network made the call moments after voting closed, citing Santorum's lead among voters in all income groups except for the very wealthy, who favored Romney, a former Massachusetts governor.
Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, has done well in conservative states of the Deep South, winning Mississippi and Alabama earlier this month.
Saturday's primary allocated only 20 of Louisiana's 46 total Republican delegates as candidates spar for the right to take on Democratic President Barack Obama in the November general election.

A's Recall RHP Scribner from Sacramento; Option LHP Pomeranz to Beloit
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland A's recalled right-handed pitcher Evan Scribner from Triple-A Sacramento and optioned left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz to Single-A Beloit, the club announced today.
Scribner joins the A's for his fourth stint this year and his ninth over the last two years. He was on the A's Opening Day roster and appeared in two games (1.1 ip) before he was optioned to Sacramento April 7. The 28-year-old right-hander did not pitch during his second stint from June 17 to 19 and had four appearances during his third stint from July 24 to August 1 (4.0 ip, 3 h, 1 r, 1 er, 3 so). Scribner is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA in six relief appearances overall for the A's. He is also 4-1 with a 3.06 ERA in 40 relief appearances with Sacramento and is tied for fourth in the Pacific Coast League with 16 saves.
Pomeranz was recalled from Sacramento yesterday to start at Houston and allowed an unearned run in 5.1 innings in a no decision in Oakland's 5-4 win. He was on the A's Opening Day roster and went 5-4 with a 2.91 ERA in 17 games, including eight starts, before he fractured his right hand June 16. The 25-year-old left-hander was placed on the 15-day disabled list the next day and made one rehab start with Sacramento before he was reinstated from the DL and optioned to Sacramento July 13. Pomeranz is 5-4 with a 2.66 ERA in 18 games overall with Oakland.

Brandon Phillips got his wish Tuesday…the opportunity to stay in Cincinnati, and, a new contract that distinguishes him among the elite second basemen in the game.
Brandon Phillips is a man never at a loss for words — ask him for a drink of water and he gives you Niagara Falls. Brandon Phillips is a man who displays nothing but positive emotions with a smile as broad as the Caribbean Sea.
Speechless? Tears? Doesn't happen in in a decade of leap years when Brandon's in the house.
That moment arrived Tuesday when Brandon Phillips, All-Star/Gold Glove/Silver Slugger second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds, agreed to a six-year $72.5 million contract extension.
He was so happy he cried, "And I never cry," when he told his mother that he was staying in Cincinnati through 2017 to the end of his career. And at his press conference, he admitted, "I'm never nervous and never at a loss for words, but I'm not even going to lie to you, this is probably the first time I've ever been nervous and the first time I've been at a loss for words."
Cincinnati is where he wants to be and Cincinnati is where he wants to end his career. And now it will happen.
Phillips is on the final year of his contract and is making $12 million a year. Negotiations for an extension began last December and dragged and dragged and dragged.
Meanwhile, the Reds invested $225 million to extend first baseman Joey Votto's deal for 10 more years and invested $17 million for a three-year extension to newly acquired relief pitcher Sean Marshall. Phillips? Talks stalled. The Reds wanted to sign him to a five-year deal. The Phillips people wanted six and the Reds relented.
"I begged my agents and general manager Walt Jocketty to get this done," said Phillips. "I wanted to stay in Cincinnati, finish my career in Cincinnati. I didn't want to be a free agent, even though I know what some other guys out there are getting (on the free agent market).
And it is obvious how much Phillips wanted to remain in Cincinnati. He is making $12 million this year. His $72.5 million deal is almost $12 million a year for the next six years. That's no raise and with inflation the value of the contract probably decreases as the years roll by.
"I never thought something like this would ever happen for me," said Phillips. "I cried like a mug with my mom. I told her, 'Mom, I finally made it.' It's a great day for me. It shows how hard I worked. I got designated for assignment by the Cleveland Indians and I came to the Reds and they gave me a second chance to use my talent. I've come a long way and I think the Reds organization for giving me this opportunity."
The man who gave Phillips that opportunity was manager Dusty Baker after then general manager Wayne Krivsky acquired him from Cleveland for pitcher Jeff Stevens on April 7, 2006. Actually, the Tribe gave Phillips to the Reds, asking only for cash or a player to be determined later. Stevens wasn't sent to the Indians until June 13 and hasn't been heard from since.
Said Baker, another guy whose contract expires after this season, "In all my years in baseball I've been around a lot of good and great players. None worked any harder or exerted any more effort or energy than Bandon Phillips. He is only going to get better and better."
To that Phillips said, "Thank you, Dusty. I love you, too."
But, as Phillips says, that doesn't preclude some butt-kicking or butt-chewing if Baker feels he needs it. Even the rich kid needs discipline.
For General Manager Walt Jockety and CEO/owner Bob Castellini, the Phillips signing is another gigant attention-grabber for a small market franchise, a franchise that just invested nearly $300 million in two players within the span of a week.
"This is another big day for the Cincinnati Reds franchise and our great fans," said Jocketty. "We now have under contract for the next several years the cornerstone of our All-Star Gold Glove infield. We have signed a very solid foundation and along with all the young talent we have on our major-league roster and the deep talent in our farm system, we have a chance to build the franchise into a winner for many years to come, to revitalize this great franchise."
Said Castellini of his spending spree as part of his endeavor to return the franchise to the top of heap, "You have your cornerstone signings, and certainly Joey and Brandon are part of that. You do that to build a foundation for the franchise for years to come. I don't anticipate to continue to have all these huge contracts."
Phillips, who found his voice and his smile as Tuesday zipped by, reads into the sudden money tree as a positive note.
"This shows that we are trying to win and bring some championships to this city," he said. "I'm glad and I'm thankful that they paid me and Joey to be here to try to build around us. We're not trying to rebuild, we're trying to win. You want to win, not just compete."
Phillips may be lesser paid than Votto, but he is probably the face of the franchise because of his intermingling with fans, a lot of it through his DatDudeBP Twitter account and his interaction with the fans.
"The fans embrace me and love me and I love 'em back, give 'em back as much as I can," said Phillips. "I have fun, but I'm all about winning on the field. (Manager) Dusty Baker knows that, even though there will be days when he still has to kick my butt."
Phillips, though, now has a posterior padded with a fat wallet and everybody is the happier for it.

Planning Commission to consider removal of four trees on Myszka Place
Ukiah Daily Journal
The Ukiah Planning Commission?Wednesday?will consider an application by a potential homebuilder who now wants to remove four trees from a property on Myszka Place.
Karen Keehn, who said she would like to buy and build a home on the lot at 1210 Myszka Place near Highland Drive, asked the commission last month to review her plans to remove two trees she said were affecting all her potential building layouts.
In a letter to Planning Department staff, Keehn said she tried to preserve a redwood and a cedar on the lot by creating about "20 plans trying to fit the house footprint within the perimeters drawn on the approved map ? (but) the two trees "would be against the garage wall, their roots invading the foundation and their canopies extending far over the building, posing a real fire danger."
At its Oct. 23 meeting, the commission seemed generally supportive of Keehn's plan, but did express concern for the health of the remaining trees.
After consulting an arborist, Keehn has returned to the commission with a request to remove two more redwood trees from the grove.
Heather Criss of Criss Tree Care recommends removing a second redwood whose proximity to the building will compromise its health and the structure's foundation, as well as third redwood tree that has a large wound.
"Although the removal of these trees will have an impact on the remaining tees, in my opinion it will not be a significant impact on the health or structure of these trees," Criss wrote. "Considering the size of the lot in this residential area, the remaining grove of 11 trees is still substantial."
Criss also added in an email to Associate Planner Jennifer Faso that removal of the trees would mean "less competition for water, nutrients and sunlight in that area."
Commissioner Linda Sanders said she talked to a neighbor who was concerned about the tree removal and suggested to Keehn's daughter Julia Fetherston, who was representing Keehn at the Oct. 23 meeting, that Keehn communicate with her neighbors about her plan.
"I appreciate the effort by your mother to draw out different plans for the house, but there is a lot of interest and a lot of people that enjoying walking in the area, so having community support would be helpful," Sanders said.
Keehn sent letters to the surrounding neighborhood and hosted an open house on Nov. 10 to meet with any concerned community members and answer any questions.
The commission meeting begins at?6 p.m.?tonight in the City Council chambers at 300 Seminary Avenue.

actually it was MOTUC that finally gave me an appreciation of Zodac, because of Cosmic Enforcer Corps.
Those asteroid dudes
Of the ones listed in the poll, it's easily Gwildor. Didn't like him then and i don't like him now.
The other character that's not listed in the poll is easily Ram Man.
actually it was MOTUC that finally gave me an appreciation of Zodac, because of Cosmic Enforcer Corps.
Nope.... nothing here! Just a link to my site http://motumulder.webklik.nl/page/fotoalbum with customs!
I really like all of them, the only good character I don't like is Buzzoff. His voice....the character is silly even for a cartoon
From the original toy line:
Ram Man
King Hiss
The Meteorbs
MOTUC Wish List: FILMATION MER-MAN, Filmation Leech, Hunga the Harpy, Lady Slither, Crystoll, King Micah/Red Knight, Filmation Whiplash.
any "comic relief" character... or in other words..all the little guys..
Just when you thought it was safe to take a pee.....- Hard Ticket To Hawaii -
Gwildor. Just kill him.
MOTUC Most Wanted : Attak Trak, Masks of Power Demons, Alcala-Style Figures
I'm not sure why Stratos and Zodak are on this list, they are main stays that I've never heard any complaints about. Hello? Plundar? Johnny Ace?
I want more army builders, Dragon Blaster Faker and world peace! And yes, I want them in that order.
Okay, from just this list, I gotta go with Gwildor. Terrible character, in my opinion. Plus I heard once that he smells like soup.

Hi everyone! I would love to make my husband the Starbucks coffee cake for his birthday but I'm not good enough to make the logo myself. Does anyone have any ideas on printing it. How or where? Thanks for all your help.
This is the way I did mine. I googled "starbucks logo", saved it to my computer, then printed it out on my edible printer then applied it to my cake.
I don't have an edible printer. Would a supermarket print this logo for me?
Don't know if a supermarket will print that, you could ask but I bet it's copyrighted and can be reproduced like that. But ask, all they can say is "No".
You can do a save on your computer, print it up and flip it over. Do a FBCT of it. Just a thought. I have done it like that, as well as the edible image.
I would do a FCBT. I think that's your best bet.
I have had an M & M logo edible image copied at my local Giant and they never said anything to me about it. So if you don't want to try the FBCT you might want to just try having it copied.
Good Luck!
I don't have an edible image printer either, but what I do is save the logo or picture to my picture files, print it out on my regular printer, make a gumpaste plaque the same size as the logo, let it dry completely on both sides. Then I cut the logo to shape, thin clear corn syrup with just a bit of water and paint it lightly onto the gumpaste plaque, attach the logo and it works well for me.
AIm new to this forum, what does FBTC
Frozen Buttercream Transfer
AHow is that done? I just called a couple of places and they won't do the logo on rice paper. Other will only do it on a cake that i would have to buy and then attempt to remove but i would have to spend like 40.00 :-\
AIt's a copyrighted logo, of course you're not going to get anyone to do that for you, any business that doesn't want to get sued, anyways.

This year I've got four Halloween themed galleries. I'm kicking it off with this batch of masks!
out this week 11/9 & 11/16 & 11/22...kanye west...nicki minaj...the national...wild nothing...blank dogs...
The year is quickly winding down. Somehow Halloween is over and today is Thanksgiving. Both of these holidays just make me think of Roseanne. Most things I can somehow relate to some TV program! Roseanne is known for some fantastic Halloween episodes but they also have their share of great Thanksgiving episodes. I got to watch two of them last night before I dozed off to sleep on Thanksgiving eve. They showed the episode with the brilliant Shelley Winters as Roseanne's Grandmother. Her character pretends to be senile but everyone is on the joke except for her daughter, played by Estelle Parsons. Darlene gets out of coming home by pretending to have to go visit her boyfriend David, even though she is secretly already living with him. Jackie is about to have her baby and her mom is playing tricks on her by pretending to dislike the father of her baby so she might decide to date him. Dan is mad at Becky's boyfriend Mark for marrying his daughter when she was so young. We also find out a secret in this episode -- that Roseanne's mom got pregnant before she was married. Roseanne was one of those shows with an amazing supporting cast. I can't get through the holidays without my Roseanne. I really thought they would give us a Roseanne DVD box set by now but looks like I have to wait another year. We did get the Golden Girls box set this year, so I shouldn't complain. I still haven't decided if I need a replica of Sophia's purse in my DVD collection...but it might be too hard to resist! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Hopefully your families are as hilarious and welcoming as the cast of Roseanne and The Golden Girls. But if not, you always have TV to escape into.
I imagine that everybody will be so busy talking about Grizzly Bear this week, they will forget about any other albums that have also come out this week. I am still trying to get into the Grizzly Bear, but it just hasn't been working. I don't neccessarily have a problem with them and maybe they will finally grow on me in the next couple of weeks. It just has not happened yet. But I imagine if you are already a Grizzly Bear fan then you will love this new album -- everybody seems to like it. Some lucky fans got to hear the album early and even buy it early on this Monday here at Amoeba, the day before the album officially came out.
But there are some smaller albums that are getting me very excited this week. First up is the new album by Blank Dogs. The album is called Under & Under and is released by In the Red Records. Blank Dogs is actually just one Blank Dog: one dude from Brooklyn. We seem to know way too much about most artists these days, so I find it refreshing when I know absolutely nothing about an artist. It just makes it all about the music, which is what it should be. This guy even goes so far as to wear masks when he is photographed. Blank Dogs have been putting out music for a couple of years but this is my first real introduction to him. I have long been a fan and will always be a fan of shoegaze...and shoegaze this is not, but it does sort of fall into the new genre -- "Shitgaze," brilliant term that makes complete sense. He basically is sort of making up his own weird distorted intrepretation of a genre. It makes it super personal and way more interesting than anything else out there. I am also forever in love with the keyboard, so when it is done right, I usually fall in love with the album. Blank Dogs sound not too different than the synth bands you might have grown up with. Elements of Joy Division, The Cure, and Tuxedomoon are easy to find in these songs. He is not really hiding his influences, but imagine a Jay Reatard type playing with those old genres and making his own sound. The album is dark and dreary but also has a hidden energy inside that make the songs have a sort of more fun, pop feel to them. This is probably the music I would have wanted to play if I had ever continued on my career in music and perfected my keyboard playing skills. Lots of good songs on the album, however, the first track is still my favorite. As much as I love Joy Division, sometimes I need a break. This album is the perfect alternative -- giving you the darkness you desire but with a little something else. Maybe if Ian Curtis had found the right medication and managed to survive the 80s and 90s, this is the sort of album he would have ended up making.
One of my other favorites of the week is the new James Blackshaw. This guy has been around for a while but I have never actually gotten around to listening to him...although it is very possible that I did listen to him before and it just didn't hit me until now. I honestly always thought this guy was some 60 something Irish dude playing old timey folky ballads. I pictured him with a long white beard and maybe in a wheelchair -- not unlike Robert Wyatt. I was amazed to find out he was actually born in 1981, and he is from London...so I was not so far off on his location, just a bit off on my guess of his age. He has been putting out albums since 2004. He made his way to the label Young God for this new album called Glass Bead Game. Like the albums of Grouper and Jose Gonzalez, this album manages to break my heart a little every time I listen to it. At first it just seems like a simple little album of solo guitar and piano, but it managed to get inside me and break me all up inside. It was one of those albums that I put on not really expecting to like, but I was intrigued because it was on Young God. I just expected some Glenn Yarbrough style vocals over the music. I have not had a chance to explore his old albums, but I know he has crossed some boundaries and experimented with a couple different genres. I just like what he is doing right now. There is also some great piano work on this album. The Glass Bead Game is actually the last book by author Hermann Hesse, the man who brought us Siddhartha and Steppenwolf. The album features Joolie Wood on violin, clarinet, and flute; and also John Contreras playing the cello, both of whom also play with Current 93. Lavinia Blackwall also contributes some vocals, but most of album is instrumental. The album is nothing short of beautiful. While it manages to break my heart every time I listen to it, it also mangages to heal it every time. The album is sort of a spiritual classical album. It really makes me feel like I am living in a different era.

Topic: Recent diagnosis, my mom stage iv
My mom has been feeling great, lots of energy however has lost about 3o lbs. in the last 3 years but she said she just is not that hungry anymore since my dad died 3 years ago of esophogeal cancer. She, al;so, was about 30 lbs. overweight. At the end of May, we were in Boston at my nieces graduation when suddenly she had terrible stomach paind, was constipated, extremely tiored and had a lot of confusion. Once home, she went through a battery pf tests. First they concluded it was liver cancer with no primary, finally is became cholangiocarcinoma with metatsis to the liver. She has a large mass on her liver. She has elevated CA19-9 and positive CEA markers. We tried Gemzar twice, she reacted very poorly to itespecially the second time, fever, chills, shaking, nausea, etc. We, with the doctors, felt it was hastening her death not prolonging it so 2 weeks ago she stopped that. She continues to have bad stomach aches, large swelling below her knees, especially her feet. Once elevated, they do go down but the minute she gets up, they swell up again. She, also, has high calcium levels which she has received treatments of Aredia..I assume high calcium is a part fo this cancer??? I am so scared for her, the doctor says on a positive outlook it is 4 months but sometimes she has really good days however tires quickly. I just don't know what to expect or do. We recently started hospice however there is not much they can do right now for she is pretty good. when does it all crash?

Longer fresh produce shelf life
A new approach to prolonging fresh produce shelf-life and reducing waste is the subject of a horticultural LINK project that begins this month. Low doses of ultraviolet light stimulate natural plant defences (a process known as hormesis) that can extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. In contrast to conventional UV treatment, the effect is not restricted to the surface of the treated commodities but manifested through the plant tissues and is triggered by much lower doses of UV. This offers exciting possibilities for reducing post-harvest losses of perishable fruits and vegetables - if the phenomenon can be harnessed under commercial conditions. If successful, initial trials with strawberry, tomato and broccoli could be extended to a wider range of produce.
Funded by Defra as part of HortLINK and supported by an industrial consortium including the fresh produce and retail sectors, the project is being led by CCFRA working with Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham (Sutton Bonington).

The Reaves Utility Income Fund (NYSE Amex: UTG) today declared a special distribution of $0.332 per share. The special distribution is being paid in addition to the Fund's regular monthly dividend. Ronald J. Sorenson, Portfolio Manager of the Fund, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Reaves Asset Management said, "The solid performance and strong cash flows of the companies in our portfolio have allowed us to achieve both the income needed to manage the Fund's dividend payments as well as capital gains for our shareholders." This is the 5th special distribution in the Fund's 7-year history. The Fund also declared the next three monthly dividends, at a rate of $0.125 per common share per month, unchanged from the per share rate paid for the previous quarter. The dividend represents an annualized yield of 5.83% based on the current market price. As of December 19, 2011, the Fund's market price was $25.75 per share and its net asset value was $23.21 per share. The special capital gain distribution allows the Fund to meet its 2011 distribution requirement for federal excise tax purposes. Of the $0.332 per share $0.287 represents short-term capital gain and $0.045 represents long-term capital gain. For calendar 2011 the total of distributions per share was $1.812 or 7.04% of the closing price December 19, 2011. The Fund has formally implemented the 19b-1 exemption received from the Securities & Exchange Commission in 2009. A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and return of capital. The final determination of the source of these distributions, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made after the Fund's year end. Ronald J. Sorenson stated that the Fund's capital gains, both realized and unrealized, are consistently monitored with a view toward managing the amount and the nature of capital gains available for distribution to shareholders. Selection of securities for the portfolio takes into consideration total return potential in addition to the current yield.

Two men who used grenades to hijack an Aires Colombia de Havilland Dash 8-300 on September 12 surrendered five hours after the standoff began, ending a harrowing but injury-free ordeal for the 20 passengers and five crewmembers. The 50-seat turboprop had taken off from Florencia, Colombia, en route to Bogota, when at about noon local time a wheelchair-bound man and his son commandeered it.
After circling Bogota's El Dorado International Airport for some two hours, the airplane landed at an adjacent military airfield, where after talking with a Roman Catholic priest and government negotiators, the hijackers began releasing women and children and finally the rest of the passengers and crewmembers.
The men, whom authorities identified as Porfirio and Linsen Ramirez, reportedly demanded reparations for Porfirio Ramirez's disability, which resulted from a bullet fired by National Police during a raid of his house in 1991, an incident the courts have refused to acknowledge.
Negotiators handed a $43,000 check to the hijackers but the government said it would not honor it. Apparently the elder Ramirez managed to smuggle aboard the grenades because security agents conducted only a visual inspection after his wheelchair could not fit through metal detectors in Florencia.
In February 2002 members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) hijacked an Aires airplane flying from Florencia to Bogota, forced it to land on a highway and kidnapped one of the passengers–a Colombian senator. That incident ended peace talks with the left-wing paramilitary group, which now controls about a third of the country. Authorities do not believe the Ramirez duo is connected in any way to FARC.


text: We will be heading out on Friday, rafting the Nantahala on Saturday, and heading back on Sunday. We will be rafting with the Wildwater rafting group who has hosted us for the past 3 years. They are absolutely wonderful with our group and show us such a great time. The guides are very knowledgeable and do very well with keeping us safe of the river. The Nantahala River is located in Nantahala National Forest and is one of America's favorite whitewater playgrounds. The trip takes over 3 hours and contains numerous class I and II rapids, with a class III at the end.

Problem connecting external hard drive
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, but I have always gotten help here, so it seemed like a good choice.
I recently bought a WD Passport Essential 320GB external hard drive. This drive works perfectly on my laptop with Fedora 10 installed, but my workstation fails to recognize it. This workstation is a dual boot Win XP/Fedora 10 machine, but I usually use the Windows install. I initially thought that the drive not being recognized was a windows problem, but today I tried to connect the hard drive to Fedora 10 on the same machine. This attempt also failed, which got me thinking that perhaps the USB ports on my motherboard didn't have enough power do start the hard drive? The drive light on the hard drive turns on when it is connected, which indicates that it gets some power, but maybe not enough. The hard drive is a 2.5'' drive, which shouldn't require an external power source. The motherboard in the workstation is an AOpen AK-86L powered by a 520W power supply .
So, to recap, is it possible that this combo doesn't provide enough power to make the external drive usable?
- Findus
my nephew bought a y usb lead....which supplies power from 2 usb ports but data to one port
2) sometimes the back usb port may just have sufficient power
you may need to post the true power usage pls
I have tried just about all the USB-ports in my workstation, none of them work. Also, how do I get the needed power usage data?
- Findus
Ooops, I was looking at the wrong drive. However, I agree with aus9 that some laptops might not provide enough current and that an optional power adapter cable is available.
Does the light on the drive come on? Have you checked dmesg | tail after you plug it in for any messages?
The light on the drive powers on, and the drive works perfectly on my laptop. It's the workstation that provides the problem. I have looked at dmesg | tail after connecting the drive, but nothing there seemed to relate to the drive. Unfortunately I'm not at my workstation, and won't be for another 2 weeks, so I won't be able to post any output.
- Findus
ahh yours is different it has a separate power lead
so it needs a separate power source
Correction: I have one of these, a Passport Essential. This does not require an external power source. I will update my original post accordingly.
- Findus
ok so back to looking a Y-usb lead but your specs may be 1000 Ma
2) of course the other issue is go back to the computer where it does work and look at the file system format...which is either fat32 or ntfs...I bet its ntfs.
so maybe your linux distro does not support it?
ntfs-3g maybe
Today I got my drive working on a computer runnig Vista by changing the filesystem from NTFS to fat32. For some reason the Vista machine refused to read the disk when it was NTFS-formatted, but once it was formatted as fat32 it was fine. Hopefully this will be true for my computer at home too, so I don't have to buy a special cable to use my hard drive on that one computer.

Gnucash is the best open source alternative to most of the commercial accounting apps out there. I have been using it for 2 years & except for some getting used to the new way of doing things, I feel that it can beat most of the accounting apps hands down...
Lowest Rated
I have been using Quicken for 20 years, but I have always been dissatisfied. Quicken is limited, and they never seem to make progress quickly enough. It seems like they are always working against the user. So I have been following Gnucash for many years, waiting for a time when it might be an acceptable alternative. Unfortunately, Gnucash is not even close to being mature software yet. The documentation is excellent. Very rare to see excellent documentation in a free-software project. However, the software itself (under Windows 8) does not work at all. The stable version 2.4.13 will not even open. I am sitting and looking at the start-up screen now on my computer, which has frozen at the splash screen. Version 2.5.5 (unstable) lives up to its name. Although it gets past the splash screen, it crashes when attempting to save a transaction into PostgreSQL. So, I will continue to monitor this project. Maybe in another 10 years...
I have used money management software for years. I have used Microsoft Money & Quicken. I switched to Gnucash about five years ago, because I wanted more control over where the data is stored and who has access to account information. Gnucash provides that over the other software I have used. It does take a bit getting used to the way Gnucash manages accounts and imports data. But, if you take the time to read the manual, and test your own data, you will actually come to appreciate the care and detail provided by this package.
Enhancing the standing of facebook business account is very easy at this point. Buying Facebook fan page "Followers" can be described as the latest trick within this question.
Een compleet en gemakkelijk te gebruiken gratis boekhoudprogramma. Elke ondernemer die zelf zijn boekhouding doet moet GnuCash serieus overwegen als zijn boekhoudprogramma.
Using this for more than a year for my personal accounting. Though there were some issues with QIF importing, reports and the Mobile version, now (v2.6.6) it works good. This is a great tool which I enjoy using, thank you!

Watching chefs prepare your dinner ensures that they are using fresh ingredients instead of arranging pictures cut from the menu atop a bed of rice. See food with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $12.50 for $25 worth of Japanese steak-house cuisine for dinner for a table of two or more
- $25 for $50 worth of Japanese steak-house cuisine for dinner for a table of four or more
Sushi entrees include the maki combo with a cucumber, california, and tuna roll ($15) as well as the tuna dinner with six pieces of tuna sushi and a spicy tuna roll ($18). As hibachi chefs grill shrimp ($21) or chicken ($17) with vegetables in plain view, the kitchen prepares traditional entrees such as lobster broiled with teriyaki sauce ($30).
Saga Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi Bar
Saga Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi Bar's chefs appease appetites with freshly rolled maki as well as classical Japanese entrees that come to life on tableside hibachi grills. After scouring the oceans in a conjoined diving suit, chefs utilize their fresh seafood to transform sticky rice into such visions as the rainbow roll, filled with spicy crabmeat and crowned with a spectrum of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and tobiko. Sushi disappears from plates inside the dimly lit dining room, where exposed-stone sections of wall flank bamboo plants brightened with little spotlights.
Patrons seeking dinner and a show can order something off of the hibachi menu, then gather around black-granite-topped counters inside a room with rich wooden accents. Before each hungry audience, chefs sear salmon, chicken and scallops, or lobster and filet mignon before accessorizing meals with two pieces of shrimp, soup, salad, vegetables, rice, and noodles.

Fox Sports just reported it on the radio.
I guess the "C U Next Tuesday" comment and having Lebron score 56 in a loss and the arguments with his point guards and yada yada yada finally got him the boot.

Seriously? That would be a bad move on their part....
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
This is surprising. The Cavs have struggled since the allstar break, but still.
But then again they have a new owner so maybe he did not like Silas.
I forget who the new owner really likes as a possible coach, but it is a big name. No it isn't Phil Jackson but I would expect to hear his name mentioned
They are in the playoffs for the first time since the Czar and they fire the coach? They had better bring in a big name coach or they are going to crash and burn.
*Edit And they are going to bring in 1 and done Saunders? Wow
This is incredibly stupid on their part...unless they have some grand scheme which we don't know about. But it really is stupid.

Maybe Lebron wanted Paul gone, he runs the franchise, whatever he ants within reason he'll get. I don't mean that in a bad way that is just the way it is especially with the Cavs
No it's not. Silas is WAY WAY WAY overrated as an NBA coach. If they get Flip watch the Cavs take off.Originally Posted by Suaveness
Maybe this will turn out to be the team that Larry Brown has always dreamt about coaching.
The Jazz should can Sloan and hire Silas.
A new home for Phil Jackson?
He might see Lebron as interesting enough to get him all excited about returning. It makes a LOT more sense than Phil going to NY.
Add a good coach and a good PG to the mix and Cleveland has a bright future.
I've never viewed Silas as a great or even good game coach, but as an old school "take no crap" disciplinarian who at least makes players get serious about developing their games and being men.
Bad move, wait until the offseason at this point. They waited too long to do this.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
I don't see Phil going to Cleveland.
He LOVES big cities and lives "the life" in them. Chicago and LA are 2 of the three biggest cities in the country. Guess which one's missing. So there's 3 options right there. I doubt he'll return to LA, though.
Other Possibilities (this is absolutley a wild stab):
If Phoenix or Seattle or Houston tanks in the post-season, the coaches could be moved, And Phil loves the West coast and/or warm weather.
*edit - changed off-season to post-season, that's what I meant.
I do think it is stupid to fire him at this point in the season. I also think Silas is slowly losing his mind. Between going ape on Eric Snow and the C U thing with Boser I don't think that much of him anymore.
As for their next coach I don't see it being Phil Jackson. Right now Lebron is the only player they have. Phil's teams have always had more than one good player. I'd agree with LA about Phil's lifestyle if it weren't for the fact that in the off season he lives in Montana.
All I know is if Chicago doesn't hurry up and pick up Scott Skiles' extension he's going to be offered one of these other jobs and Chicago will be in a world of hurt all over again.
Well, IMO, the Cavs have one of the two things Phil needs to coach - the best player in the league. (OK, that's not exactly true, but already coached Shaq.) All they need is another top 5 player and he's there.
No, that is not a request. :-)
Silas is a good coach IMO, but you factor the new owner wanting someone else and Paul's recent screwball behavior, and I'm not surprised.
However, it should be noted that Brendan Malone has been named in the interim. Because of this fact alone, I'll say right now that Cleveland is not making the playoffs.
In regards to name dropping, I heard the new owner was high on Scott Skiles since they went to State together, not Flip Saunders. Factor in Orlando admitting they should have hired Skiles to begin with, and Chicago is looking really stupid in not extending him yet.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
I read on the train this morning that Sam Smith thinks Skiles (1) is going to be a Larry Brown style coach - burning bridges, not staying any one place very long, and (2) Orlando is going to be working hard to woo him this summer.
No link, but I'm sure its on the Tribune's website. It also contained a bunch of usually worthless Sam Smith banter.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
First Nelson, then Silas - busy day ...
Silas does better with veteran teams than a kiddie corps. Was suprised when he took the cavs job in the first place.

Cavs shake-up already in motion
By Chad Ford
ESPN Insider
The public hand-wringing Monday in Cleveland had everything to do with the Cavaliers' making the playoffs this year. The short term. The next 18 games.
The private hand-wringing was of a different nature entirely, encompassing the long-term future of the franchise. More precisely, how does new owner Dan Gilbert keep LeBron James in Cleveland?
Monday, we got our first glimpse into Gilbert's plan of attack on both issues.
The Cavs had lost nine of their last 12 and appeared to be fading fast. Monday, the team fired head coach Paul Silas, citing concerns the team is in danger of slipping out of the playoffs.
"We felt we have a deep roster, and we believe in our players," GM Jim Paxson said at a news conference announcing the firing. "That progress wasn't being made. We felt if we didn't make this decision, we jeopardize our chances of being a playoff team."
Cleveland is the second team in a week to fire its head coach the Orlando Magic dismissed Johnny Davis on March 17 despite massive improvements over the course of the season. Two seasons ago, the Cavs were the worst team in the NBA. Last year they won 35 games. This year, they already are at 34 victories, and according to Insider's projections are on course to win 43.
Despite the optimism surrounding LeBron, the team has issues.
Of all of the playoff contenders in the East, the Cavs currently sport the worst road record, having won just 10 games away from home all season. Of those 10 road victories, seven came against the worst five teams in the league the Atlanta Hawks (two), Charlotte Bobcats (two), Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors. The three other road wins against the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies all came when those opponents had losing records. In other words, the Cavaliers haven't beaten one good team on the road this season.
The team's woes go beyond its play on the road.
The Cavs also are sputtering at the point right now. Last season, Jeff McInnis' injury pushed them out of contention. This year, it has been his defensive lapses and poor shooting. In Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors, Silas benched McInnis for the entire game, causing a major stir. It might have been the straw that broke the camel's back in Cleveland. With the Cavs fighting for their playoff lives, Silas' refusal to play McInnis in a critical game clearly was frustrating to Paxson and Gilbert.
To make matters worse, Zydrunas Ilgauskas also is slowing down. After a red-hot start this season, he is shooting just 41 percent from the field in March.
And none of the Cavs' swing guys Jiri Welsch, Ira Newble and Sasha Pavlovic is bringing anything to the table right now. Silas also was reluctant to play Anderson Varejao despite the rookie's fantastic rebounding numbers in the limited minutes he has seen.
That, too, was a major issue for Paxson and Gilbert. After trading this summer for Pavlovic and Varejao, then acquiring Welsch at the trade deadline, management wanted Silas to incorporate them in the rotation.
Silas' refusal to budge on the issue may have been his ultimate undoing.
"There was no consistent rotation or substitution pattern," Paxson said. "Both Dan and I encouraged Paul to do different things with the rotation. ... Philosophically, we didn't see quite the same way in what was happening."
With Silas refusing to play many of the younger players, LeBron and, to a lesser extent, Drew Gooden were forced to shoulder most of the offensive load. As LeBron proved Sunday, even a 56-point effort wasn't enough.
"There was too much of a burden on LeBron," Paxson said. "LeBron is a passer first. Teams adjusted to make him a shooter. We weren't able to readjust."
The stats bear out Paxson's point. In 15 December games, LeBron averaged 18.5 shot attempts and 8.1 assists per game and handed out 7.1 assists. In nine March games so far, he is taking 22.4 shots and handing out only 5.7 assists.
Despite the extra burden on James, Gilbert was adamant that LeBron had nothing to do with Silas' firing.
"LeBron James didn't play any role in this decision," Gilbert said. "Absolutely zero, nothing."
While that might technically be true both Gilbert and Paxson said James wasn't consulted about the decision until after it had been made the decision to ax Silas has everything to do with LeBron.
It's probably the first of many changes you're going to see in Cleveland over the next few months.
Gilbert, who bought the franchise for $375 million several weeks ago, is scared James might bolt the team when he becomes a free agent after the 2006-07 season.
The minute Gilbert took over, the clock started ticking. He has roughly two years to create a world-class organization that can persuade LeBron to sign a long-term contract.
With the length of contracts likely to be shortened, along with raises, by a new collective bargaining agreement, the Cavs' advantages in keeping LeBron are likely to get slimmer. As Insider first reported months ago, James has lucrative kickers in his endorsement contracts should he move to New York, Chicago or L.A.
Persuading LeBron to stick it out in Cleveland will be a monumental task. The Cavs not only have to make the right choices in free agency this summer, they also have to find the right coach and upgrade almost every area of the organization.
That means interim head coach Brendan Malone won't last long. The Cavs already have their eye on former Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders. However, Saunders also will get plenty of attention from the Blazers, Knicks and Pistons (should Larry Brown retire), so it's not a slam dunk Cleveland will be able to get him.
Phil Jackson might be another possibility for Gilbert. In his effort to give the Cavs a "world-class" reputation, he might be willing to outbid Jackson's other suitors, selling Jackson on coaching the next "MJ."
There also is speculation Gilbert plans to shake up the Cavs' front office this summer. When asked specifically Monday about Paxson's future, Gilbert was elusive.
"We're focused on this year," Gilbert said. "We'll see how things go. We're going to look at everyone in the organization and make an evaluation on everyone."
Forgive Gilbert if he's not confident Paxson is the right guy. Not only has Paxson made some egregious errors in the draft and free agency over the years, he doesn't have the freewheeling, entrepreneurial personality Gilbert values.
Gilbert will want a new head coach and management team in place by July 1 to take full advantage of the Cavs' strong position in free agency.
As it stands, the team could have as much as $22 million in cap space this summer. Some of that likely will go toward re-signing Ilgauskas. However, expect Gilbert to be careful with those negotiations. Right now, Ilgauskas is asking for a salary in the $12 million area. Given his age, past health problems and his dwindling production this season, that's too much.
The team has a number of other priorities it must address, too. The Cavs need a point guard to replace McInnis (who also is in the last year of his deal), an athletic shot blocker in the paint and a sharpshooter.
The team could target such players as Michael Redd, Samuel Dalembert, Joe Johnson, Vladimir Radmanovic, Marko Jaric, Earl Watson and Bobby Simmons in the summer in an effort to get deeper, more athletic and to plug some major holes.
That's a lot for any NBA owner to swallow, let alone a rookie owner who claims to know little about the NBA.
Unfortunately for Gilbert, they don't have much choice but to act swiftly.
"We are going to have the courage to come to conclusions," Gilbert said Monday. "We're business people; that's what we do."
With the clock already ticking, courage and conclusions better come in large supply. The organization can't give LeBron an excuse to opt out.
"The way [LeBron] stays is if the organization is a winning organization," Gilbert said.
That process began in earnest on Monday.
