Kevin Martin has been pretty bad in recent weeks. still recovering from injury?
They all made coaching changes within the past 1-2 years (as pretty much all their fans wanted to).
How big an impact did those coaching changes make? If you were to ask any fan of those teams 1-2 years ago, they would tell you that Eddie Jordan, Randy Whittman, Mo Cheeks and Scott Skiles were horrible coaches and I'm sure some of them would be like this board with JOB and call each of them the worst coach in the history of basketball.
So all those teams canned those coaches and got replacements. At this point in time, none of those coaches have appeared to make any kind of tangible difference.
Kurt Rambis brought in the knowledge, experience and system that he learned from all those years as an assistant under the most successful coach in NBA history. That doesn't seem to have changed a thing for the "underachieving" T-Wolves. Phil Jackson's system and his top assistant from all those championship years with the Lakers doesn't appear to have gotten any better results than some stiff named Randy Whittman.
Every single year in the league, fans of a bad team with a bad roster expect a new coach to solve their problems. And every year, some team's ownership/management grants the fans their wish and brings in a a new coach while sticking with the same players. Not surprisingly, they get the same results.
It's not surprising teams do this, simply because it's easier to replace a coach than it is to replace a roster. That's understandable. But as it's shown over and over again year after year, thinking a coaching change is all of a sudden going to push a bad team over the hump is just putting the cart before the horse.
Tony Parker just when down, maybe another place where we can send Ford

Darren Collison filled in for an injured Chris Paul and had 18 assists against the Grizz.
It's legit. Of course his +/- was only +4, second lowest amongst Portland's starters, so his 52 points on 22-31 shooting wasn't that impressive.
Here's the intro for game 4 of the 1987 Eastern Conference second round game between the Bucks. Take a look at the video starting at 1:33.
The Grizz just beat the Lakers 95 to 93 and 40 points by kobe
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
Collision had another 14 dimes....
that was a epic game the Lakz Griz, didn't watch just kept track on the scoreboard up and down, surprised the Lakers Lost, they seem to have the momentum...
can anyone please post the top ten most likely trades on espn insider please...

has anybody seen this before? this is funny
Brian Chambers Rambis Bonner Boner Heinsohn Walton ("Veal" or "Meat") Scalabrine, (born March 18, 1948 in a dumpster in California) is an active American All-Star Hall-Of-Fame professional basketball player currently with the Boston Lepers of the NBA.

Just watching the latest Pacs- Raps game... darn I Love Hibbert as a player but what is wrong with the crowd, wow, it's like a second rate CBA team, I had no idea...
good game so far....
Ya Think Ya Used Enough Dynamite there Butch...
If you want to get pissed off about the brawl again, watch this video.
Ahh I watched that Boston clip and err err suspected that could be the motive for the posting... I was like bleh....
Interesting tho..
I can see why TPTB are upgrading a few tickets and selling em for 5 bucks just to get the crowd up.....
good time to get some quality seats if you like the current players...

Last Title: 1973 (ABA).
Most Recent Devastating Loss: Finals Game 4 (2000) when Bird unconscionably pulled Rik Smits in OT, meaning Shaq didn't foul out (he had five for awhile), meaning the Lakers won in OT to go up 3-1, making the Pacers' loss inevitable. That was the year they FINALLY got over the Knicks and into the Finals and they blew a winnable series. Honorable mention: Game 7, Eastern Conference finals, 1998, gut-wrenching series with Reggie heroics outdone only (slightly) by Jordan/Pippen heroics.
Rock Bottom: The brawl, obviously.
Additional Thoughts: How long until the Pacers are good again? Ten years? If we're lucky.

Ya Think Ya Used Enough Dynamite there Butch...
brandon bass asking to be traded? i wonder what would entice the magic to move him.
btw, check out what bass says about his role under svg
wow, i'm sure bass would enjoy playing for obie [/sarcasm]Magic coach Stan Van Gundy was somewhat of a trail blazer in how he brought a style of using a perimeter shooting power forward to Orlando three seasons ago. That formula has been mostly a success, winning 52 games in 2007-08, getting to the NBA Finals in 2008-09 and winning 33 times so far.
Van Gundy's style has been a boon for center Dwight Howard because playing a "stretch four" has kept opposing power forwards from double-teaming on him and have given him more room to operate inside.
Rashard Lewis is a fixture on the team, and he led the NBA in 3-pointers made and attempted last season. Ryan Anderson, acquired in the Vince Carter trade with New Jersey last June, has been the surprise replacement at power forward because he plays a style similar to Lewis. Lewis ranks first on the Magic in 3-point attempts (241), while Anderson is fifth (159).
But that's not the style of Bass, a rugged 6-foot-8, 250-pound power forward with explosive leaping ability. He played big minutes early in the second when Lewis was suspended for the first 10 games, but since then he's wondered about where he fits in on this Magic team.
"(Mid-range shooters) isn't one of coach's favorites. He wants everybody under the goal or at the 3-point line," said Bass, the only player on the team to not attempt a 3-point shot this season. "Hopefully I can gain some favor with him and get some time. Until then I just have to keep working. I am working on the corner 3.
"I know why they brought me in," he continued. "They told me a lot of things. I can do a variety of different things, but the thing that I don't do is shoot the 3-pointer. I can space the floor and make plays from the 3-point line, but I don't shoot it from there and that's not a part of my game yet."
and if the magic want a better "stretch four" than anderson, we have just the player

I saw today that the Bulls are still trying to move Tyrus Thomas. What's the knock on this guy, do teams see him as not having potential anymore? What's the deal, anyone know?
I thought the guy was all 90% talent and 10% Basketball IQ....pass on Tyrus. Besides...my guess is that the Bulls will use him in some deal where both Tyrus and Amare or Bosh are involved in some S&T deal in the offseason.

I replaced the use of betai with the t-distribution on recommendation of Bruce Southey. The formula for `ttest_ind` is exactly the same as wikipedia and I guess in any number of textbooks, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-test#Independent_two-sample_t-test section: Unequal sample sizes, equal variance Variable names are not very creative and the shape and axis handling is standard numpy style. The handling of the zero div problem seems to be added later and is not in the current version of Gary Strangmans code So I don't see what can be changed here, except for cosmetic changes. def ttest_ind(a, b, axis=0): a, b, axis = _chk2_asarray(a, b, axis) x1 = mean(a,axis) x2 = mean(b,axis) v1 = var(a,axis) v2 = var(b,axis) n1 = a.shape[axis] n2 = b.shape[axis] df = n1+n2-2 svar = ((n1-1)*v1+(n2-1)*v2) / float(df) zerodivproblem = svar == 0 t = (x1-x2)/np.sqrt(svar*(1.0/n1 + 1.0/n2)) # N-D COMPUTATION HERE!!!!!! t = np.where(zerodivproblem, 1.0, t) # replace NaN t-values with 1.0 #probs = betai(0.5*df,0.5,float(df)/(df+t*t)) probs = distributions.t.sf(np.abs(t),df)*2 if not np.isscalar(t): probs = probs.reshape(t.shape) if not np.isscalar(probs) and len(probs) == 1: probs = probs[0] return t, probs The second test, looks a little bit more complicated in the current version, for example it defines several variables that are never used. I am currently rewriting the main formula to follow exactly the wikipedia formula, which is much easier to read. For a Monte Carlo with 10000 replication and sample size 500, I get at maximum difference of the new version to the old version of 3.9968028886505635e-015 which should be close enough. Rejection rates for alpha = 1%, 5% and 10% are pretty close, so the test is correctly sized. This is the new code: def ttest_rel(a,b,axis=None): a, b, axis = _chk2_asarray(a, b, axis) if len(a)!=len(b): raise ValueError, 'unequal length arrays' n = a.shape[axis] df = float(n-1) d = (a-b).astype('d') #denom is just sqrt(var(d)/df), Note: denominator for denom is 1/n * 1/(n-1) denom = np.sqrt(np.var(d,axis,ddof=1)/float(n)) zerodivproblem = denom == 0 t = np.mean(d, axis) / denom t = np.where(zerodivproblem, 1.0, t) # replace NaN t-values with 1.0 probs = distributions.t.sf(np.abs(t),df)*2 if not np.isscalar(t): probs = np.reshape(probs, t.shape) if not np.isscalar(probs) and len(probs) == 1: probs = probs[0] return t, probs As an aside, is there any difference between np.sum() and np.add.reduce(), or are they equivalent or exactly the same?

Oct. 26, 2005.
My son Zachary, then 8, had a football game that night. It was a fairly late game, but when we got home that evening, there was a message on our home voice mail from my dad,
"Rebecca, please call me when you get home tonight, no matter what time it is."
My dad had not been feeling well most of the summer and into the fall. My parents had decided not to come through Texas from Minnesota via their annual winter trip to Florida that fall, even though my dad was supposed to drive the tractor for our neighbor fall festival hayride. Though my dad's doctors felt he was just having a hard time fighting off a flu virus, they ultimately decided to send him to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester to run more in-depth tests.
"Go somewhere away from the children," my dad said first, and then, "How strong are you, Rebecca Jean?"
He knew the answer to that, of course. I had always been his strong, independent, fearless tomboy who was going to conquer the world. My dad proceeded to tell me he had been diagnosed with a rare and terminal form of cancer, that there was no treatment, and that he had just months to live. I could hear loud weeping in the background as I held the phone in disbelief. My dad? My hunting, fishing, life-loving dad? My dad, who never drank, never smoked, and went on Jesuit retreats every summer to "sort out any junk I've accumulated over the year," who always came home and said, "I'm so clean, you can see right through me!"
With no visible emotion, I hung up the phone and went back inside the house. Steve looked at me questioningly and I only shook my head and said, "Time for baths, everyone!" I had a family to run. Breaking down simply wasn't an option. My kids were too little to understand, and they needed me to maintain normalcy. So I did.
My daughter, Channing, was 5 at the time. Christmas was approaching, and I was trying to keep our lives running smoothly in between my many trips back and forth between Texas and Minnesota. Run my nuclear family here. Run my family of origin there. Stay calm. Keep it together. Everyone needed me. As we got closer to Christmas, Channing became more and more adamant that she wanted a puppy for Christmas. As we had recently lost both of our elderly dogs within months of each other, Steve and I were strongly against this. With the strain of my dad's illness, we did not need a new puppy! But Channing remained insistent.
"I really don't care what y'all say," she told us matter of factly. "I am asking Santa for a puppy for Christmas, and all I want is a puppy. Nothing else. I've been good, so Santa will bring me a puppy!"
Finally, at the beginning of December, I told Steve, "She's not going to give up! We need to find her a puppy!" We had two large, intolerant cats at the time. I knew we needed to bring a small dog into our life, nothing big and wild, because the cats would potentially develop behavior problems. I began to research and came upon a poodle breeder in Northeast Texas. After many emails and phone calls, we met at a designated halfway point so I could see the puppies, tiny toy poodles, for myself. I immediately fell in love with one, and the breeder agreed I could pick him up Dec. 23, in time for Channing's Christmas surprise.
That Christmas was the first since I had children that my parents didn't come spend it with us. My dad was too sick. Everyone felt the void, but I still tried to make it as happy as possible. And the thought of Channing's reaction to her new puppy from Santa kept my spirits up. I wasn't disappointed. I had snuck down to our neighbor's home early that morning and retrieved the puppy. As if on cue, he came out of his little hut as Channing approached the tree. Estactically, she exclaimed, "My puppy! Santa got me a puppy!" And so Nico entered our lives, a bright sparkle during a time of sadness.
After the holidays, I took Nico in for his shots and well-puppy exam. "Did you bring his shot records and birth certificate?" our vet asked me. I pulled out the papers and looked at them for the first time. Date of Birth: 10-26-2005. I felt an odd sensation in my stomach- why did that date bother me? Then it hit me: October 26th was the day I got that horrible call from my father. Just when a part of my life was ending, a part was simultaneously beginning. I didn't know it at the time, wasn't even imagining that a new little life was entering the world, a little life who would provide so much love, companionship abd comfort through many dark days as my dad battled cancer and ultimately lost the following spring.
Obviously, a dog doesn't replace a beloved person. But there were so many times where I needed to not have to act okay for everyone around me, to not have to explain what I was feeling, and Nico provided that reprieve for me.He was clearly meant to come into our lives. Nico, now 8 years old, is a cherished family member who none of us could even dream of not being an integral part of our lives.
Life is full of endings, but it's also bursting with beginnings. Always trust, as I've learned from my own life experiences, that promise and hope will be provided to you - sometimes in the oddest and most unexpected forms, such as a 4-legged angel.

Disease SNP Database (DSD)
The DSD (Disease SNP Database) is one of the most comprehensive database which includes detail of SNPs which are involved in variety of disease. Though much effort and time was invested in designing and creating the database, it is far from complete. In the database, we have only included those disease SNPs which are proven to be involved in causing diseases. During our data curation we excluded many entries:
- Those SNPs, whose presence in population reduces the frequency of occurrence of disease rather than causing it, were excluded from the database.
- Information about some SNP was present in the research paper, but information was not available in NCBI SNP database.
- Some SNPs showed association to particular chromosomal region but failed to show association with specific gene.
- Some SNPs were suspected to be involved in disease but experiments did not show any evidence of association.
Thus our database contains only those SNPs which have been shown experimentally to be involved in pathogenesis or in increasing the frequency of occurrence of disease in population. Though our database is small, it contains information about SNPs which have been tested using both in-vitro and in-silico studies. So, chances of getting a false or unproven result are negligible. As the experimental data continues to accumulate, we will be expanding our database to include new SNPs that are experimentally proven.
If a new SNP is found, its involvement in disease can easily be predicted based on our database. Also, we have included population specific information, so our database can be of immense help to researchers who are analyzing population specific disease frequency, based on genetic data. Also, the frequency and probability values can help predict statistical models for the disease.

steak skewer and egg skillet is not gluten free. The bourbon sauce contain gluten. Also the steak may be sauteed in a solution containing gluten or the spices that are sprinkles on the steak. I rarely have a problem eating gf at Dennys, but I felt I should warn others. I told the waitress and manager, but I know they won't change it. This meal is advertised as GLUTEN FREE.
Gluten free was clearly marked on the menu but staff seems very uneducated. They glutened me HARD with a plain yoghurt and fruit. Server Patricia couldn't have cared less about my celiac statement before ordering, I should have left then but I thought "how can they possibly f*ck up a fruit cup?". I even went over cross-contamination with her and she was just vacant and unresponsive, but we had limited time to eat as one of us had a flight to catch and couldn't re-situate ourselves. She offered me a gluten free English muffin but they cook it in the same spot as the regular muffins so they're rendered not gluten free and I don't think they should be allowed to mark it on the menu as gluten free. Within minutes of eating (I have a very fast response) I was vomiting and had diarrhea, which is great right before a 4 hour drive home. Thanks for ruining the end of my trip and the next 2 weeks, Patricia.
Not much considered gluten free yet, but the Oneida, NY Denny's in GLENWOOD plaza has a sheet to show u what is definitely gluten free and a separate fryer when u tell them u are! For ur fries and nachos! So... Let them know and they try their best! And the manager Tabatha seems to really care! :)
The Denny's on the main strip (across from NY NY and Monte Carlo) has a gluten free menu and educated staff. Does not have a dedicated fryer, so nachos and fries aren't GF. It's outside of the resorts at regular Denny's prices.
1515 Ocean St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060
They did not have the gluten-free options they had on their menu. No GF muffins nor the sausage.
211 Court St, Auburn, ME 04210
they're upfeont about what is or isnt gluten free. nice to know they arent sneaking pancake batter into their eggs like some other breakfast chains. they even have gf English muffins!

The menu is clearly marked with "gf" beside items that are gluten free. There were many items gf, including several skillet entrees.
1830 N Central Expy, Plano, TX 75074
This place made me sick. I ordered a skillet breakfast. This place was super busy and the cooks were swamped and yelling at each other. I feel like they didn't take the proper precautions although my waitress informed the kitchen of my condition.

I always get sick. I tell them gluten free but you really have be careful with cross contamination.
9880 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
my sister and i have celiac disease and always have a hard time finding places to eat. Denny's has their menu labeled with a GF if it's gluten free and they have GF english muffins that you don't have to pay extra for! It was quite amazing!!
3817 East Cork Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49001
I've had the taco salad and one of the skillet dinners and both were good. They label on their menu gluten free items with a good selection to choose from.
140 Town Center Pkwy, Santee, CA 92071
Delicious GF English Muffin! Not much else other than regular foods that do not have gluten.
592 Kirby Ln, Spanish Fork, UT 84660
Staff was helpful and notified the kitchen to help avoid cross contamination.
4918 S Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78411
Some menu items marked as GF are not. I told them I had an allergy, they told me when the food was delivered that the eggs were GF but the rest of the omelette wasn't. Why waste my time like that? I'm glad they caught it but I had to wait for something else to be made. If your menu says GF, don't lie.
4000 N Prince St, Clovis, NM 88101
Some wait staff are more knowledgeable than others. Happy that Denny's is finally trying to be celiac friendly.
1218 Litchfield Rd, Goodyear, AZ 85338
It's amazing the waiters/waitresses are friendly and there aren't ever cross contaminations it's delicious
200 South James Street, Rome, NY 13440
I travel a lot. Denny's has become my favorite breakfast with Google gluten free options

Happily surprised to find a ton of gluten free options! We dined in for breakfast, but there were also a lot of dinner options as well!
1239 National Hwy, La Vale, MD 21502
They offer a gluten free English muffin which I substitute for burger buns. Works just fine for gluten intolerant folks :)
Many gluten free options. Food was good.
Great food. I had no idea Denny's had gf! Impressed! Great service!
430 Clayton Rd, Raton, NM 87740
They now label things as GF on menu. Was happy to find this while traveling!!

awesome English muffin! Fries are gluten free. items on the menu are marked gf.
11266 Midland Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63114
All GF choices marked on the menu, GF English muffin is actually pretty tasty.
1300 N Ponce De Leon Blvd, St Augustine, FL 32084
Although items on the menu are marked GF, nothing is prepared separately. I couldn't eat anything but hash browns because even the gluten free English muffins are toasted in shared toaster with regular breads. NOT a good dining choice for people with GF allergy and /or Celiac !
1590 E Yonezawa Blvd, Moses Lake, WA 98837
Restaurant and restrooms was clean. Food was good. They had a gluten free English muffin. The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. I have celiac and was able to eat here without any issues. The menu is marked for gluten free.
I had dined at a Denny's in Stockton, Ca a few weeks ago. I had ordered off of the gluten-free menu, after informing the waitress that I have Celiac disease. When my meal arrived, I had noticed a glaze on the steak--"bourbon glaze" is what the waitress had said that it was. When I had tested it with my Nima, it came back with "low gluten." Upon speaking with the manager, I further discovered that the potatoes were not fried in a dedicated fryer, so they were possibly cross-contaminated! I also discovered that none of their gluten-free menu items were in fact "gluten-free!" The manager will be speaking to their corporate office to make menu modifications. If anything, the manager was pleasant, and she was actually thankful to be informed.
2300 N 4th St, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814
My niece has celiacs and we have been traveling. When we tried to explain the situation the server he called over the manager and we were able to explain the situation. They scraped the grill and cleaned it, explained the process, and listed all their ingredients. It ended up being ok. So, they are not familiar, but definitely willing to get it right. Awesome!
2589 W 6th St, Fayetteville, AR 72701
Hostess was rude. She said the only thing on the menu that was gluten free was the English muffin and maybe the egg whites. When I questioned her, she handed me every menu they had and suggested that I figure it out.
810 W Pierce St, Carlsbad, NM 88220
Just ordered a side salad with no crutons. Young waiter was very attentive however, salad was wilted and had to throw at least half away. With every Dennys, your food not becoming contained depends on the staff.
286 17th Ave NW, Rochester, MN 55901
Limited to breakfast options. Nachos say gluten free on the menu, but the waitress was very informed and guided us away from them since the chips are not fried in a dedicated fryer. Breakfast food was good though, and they offered gluten free English muffins with butter on the side to limit cross-contamination.
3330 W Tropicana Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89103
So far so good! No reaction, lots of really good gluten free options for breakfast, so you don't feel like you're getting cheated out of the "really good" food. Disappointed that they don't offer any gf pancakes yet, but the gf English muffin was surprisingly good!
815 E 78th St, Bloomington, MN 55420
Denny's gets 5 stars good, quick, affordable, dependable, and national. Gluten free items are clearly marked on their menu.
2460 N. Sycamore, Simi Valley, CA 93065
Questionable. Dennys does have an extensive allergy list and gluten free items however it all depends on how much your server cares. I didn't get one that did. I let her know of my wheat allergy but she didn't seem to care. Someone else's bread was hovering over my salad. Eat at your own risk.
427 W Ave I, San Angelo, TX 76901
Gluten free English muffins. Easy to use menu.
10575 Watson Rd, St. Louis, MO 63127
my husband has never gotten sick at any Dennys
13201 Gladstone Ave, Sylmar, CA 91342
Denny's has Gluten Free options on their menu especially at breakfast. You can get gluten free bread for toast. I have no idea as to how they prep their food and if there is a high risk of cross-contamination or not.

Fairs & Exhibitions, which organizes the biennial Dubai Airshow in the United Arab Emirates, will debut a new aircraft interiors show–Aircraft Interiors Middle East–June 16 to 18, 2008, at the Airport Expo Dubai site.
Noting that the Middle East is one of the world's fastest-growing aviation regions with regard to airline activity, F&E chair Virginia Kern pointed out, "The scenario is just as bullish for the business aviation segment, with the region's 300-strong fleet forecast to double within the next five years."
After the 2005 Dubai Airshow, at which more than 60 aircraft interiors companies mounted exhibits, F&E announced that it would create a dedicated aircraft interiors pavilion at the 2007 event in November.
The decision to launch the separate interiors event in even-numbered years was also prompted in part by the response of those 2005 interiors exhibitors.
In-flight Cooking with Ease
Enflite, a designer and manufacturer of aircraft cabin products, has received supplementary type certification and parts manufacturing approval (PMA) for its series 91107 "Zero Clearance" convection oven, as well as PMA for the newly configured 91115 and 91150 ovens.
The Georgetown, Texas-based company describes its Zero Clearance oven as "the next frontier in business jet galley equipment." Enflite can build the Zero Clearance to meet any size requirement. In its standard configuration, it includes all-digital, fully integrated control panel, programmable settings, on-board diagnostic system, multiple power options and side-plug installation. And as with all Enflite ovens, the heat ventilation intake and exhaust panels are in the front.
New Wash Light Integrates New Technology Emteq, which has extensive experience in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting, has launched a new, low-profile, more compact cabin wash lighting system. The product incorporates high-intensity, surface-mounted LEDs and multiple dimming options. It also uses phosphor technology for improved performance at warmer color temperatures and constant current control for more consistent light output.
The ELW35 package accommodates high operating temperatures and is up to twice
as bright as currently available LED wash lighting systems, according to sales manager Scott Sweet.
CTT Humidifier System for A340-600
Jet Aviation of Basel, Switzerland, has ordered a CTT Cair humidification system for installation on an executive Airbus A340-600. The system is designed for passenger health and comfort, providing a more humid cabin environment without the formation of unwanted condensation. According to CTT, the system gives a relative humidity of 25 percent, comfortably above the humidity level of 3 to 5 percent typical of aircraft without the system. The dual-purpose Cair also incorporates CTT's zonal drying system to counter the problem of condensation. Boeing has selected the zonal drying system as standard for the cabin of its new 787 Dreamliner. CTT's humidifiers are optional for the crew rest compartments and flight deck.
Flight Display Intros Moving Map, DVD Player and Wireless Upgrades Flight Display Systems introduced a series of product upgrades, including computer processing units for the company's moving-map display, a combination DVD/CD/MP3 player, and a wireless audio transmitter.
The -9 and -10 moving-map models are "soon to be released" and will feature enhanced video memory and processing power for high-quality satellite imagery.
Like the previous -7 and -8 displays, the -9 and -10 have no moving parts and are designed to perform in the cabins of small business aircraft. The price is still to be determined, said a spokesman for the Alpharetta, Ga.-based company.
Flight Display Systems is already offering its new Worldwide model DVD/CD/MP3 player, which includes iPod integration, additional audio/video jacks and a new
28-volt power supply. It is priced at $905.
All three items have received parts manufacturing approval from the FAA, and
a spokesman for Flight Display Systems said the new boxes have been designed to fit the same space as those currently in service.
Down the Aisle…AirCell of Louisville, Colo., announced that Jet Works Air Center of Denton, Texas, has completed the first AirCell Axxess satcom system installation aboard a Piaggio Avanti II…Associated Air Center, a division of Landmark Aviation, did the original interior on a Boeing 757-200 in 1994 and has just completed and delivered a major refurbishment of the same airplane for a new owner.

No comedian gets to his inner child faster, or stays longer, than Mel Brooks. He loves to spin expectations on their ear, and resorts to humor so blue its cobalt. Young Frankenstein is based on his 1974 movie. It tries to stuff every moment into the musical and runs long as a result. But the excellent Moonlight Stage production is also long on talent. Credit to director/choreographer Matthew J. Vargo, and technical coordinator Justin A. M.M. Hall (who uses sets and properties from the Broadway touring show), and to a large and spirited cast, led by Larry Raben as young Frederick F., the brilliand Jessica Bernard (Elizabeth), Tracy Lore (Frau Blucher), Jamie Torcellini (Igor), Noelle Marion (Inga), and Randall S.

" Genre: Folk - English Folk / Artist: Richard Thompson Linda Thompson / Original recording remastered / Audio CD released 2004-04-12 at Commercial Marketing "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This is a review of the 2004 Island Records remastered C.D
'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight' was Richard Thompson's first collaboration with his wife Linda, though he wrote all the material, Linda's pure and beautiful folk voice provided the perfect showcase for her husband"s songs. After Richard's debut 'Henry The Human Fly' had sold very poorly he was perhaps beginning to regret his decision to leave Fairport Convention, a band he co-founded in 1967 at the tender age of 17. But this album confirmed that his decision had been correct with many 'Thompson standards' contained within. I love the album and listen to it on a pretty regular basis, in fact this is my second C.D copy of the album!, with a slight improvement in sound quality over the original Island C.D release. Island records in the 70s really was a hotbed of excellence: Free, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Bob Marley, Traffic, Cat Stevens, John Cale, Richard and Linda Thompson, Sandy Denny.....the list goes on, Chris Blackwell was a genius at spotting talent to sign. Richard and Linda slotted in nicely with this company, tales of discussions over tea in the Island canteen between the above artists makes fascinating reading. It's a fact that the roster of artists all had enormous regard for each other, Richard Thompson has played on several great records from the 70s, his reputation as a guitar player appreciated by his fellow musicians even if not by the public at large.
Richard Thompson selected engineer John Wood [who had done Nick Drake's albums] to work with him on producing the album and Sound Techniques studio in Chelsea London was the location, as with many classic Island records of the era. Thompson called upon his old mate from Fairport Simon Nicol to assist on rhythm guitar and John Kirkpatrick one of England's foremost traditional instrumentalists to provide accordion and concertina playing where needed. That's one of the main joys of 'Bright Lights' as an album, the fusing of folk with a modern singer/songwriter sensibility. I'm not sure anyone has ever done it as well as Thompson [Bob Dylan is an obvious exception], these songs sound like they were traditional standards in fact they are contemporary Thompson compositions.
1. When I Get To The Border
A great opener, Thompson sounds almost nervous as he takes the vocals, this is a personal favourite of mine, it sets the tone well for the album. Overall the songs are sombre in tone with a couple of brighter moments, I spose Thompson's voice can take some getting used to, but I really like it now having listened to it for some time, it's an acquired taste though.
2. The Calvary Cross
This becomes a huge guitar work-out when performed live, here in its shorter version Thompson displays only a brief glimpse of his guitar wizardry with a great intro, bending strings in a way possibly not heard before on record!. Another great song.
3. Withered And Died
A great piece of songwriting, covered by other artists such as Elvis Costello and Kate Rusby and this is the kind of thing that gets covered by american country artists like say Emmylou Harris or Linda Ronstadt, which shows the broad appeal of the song, certainly not 'strictly' english folk. Linda does a superb job with the vocals here.
4. I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
The title track is another classic, again heavily covered over the years by a mixture of english and american artists. Often Richard would sing on the 'rockier' numbers leaving the ballads to Linda, but there's a nice reversal here as Linda is left to sing the line 'couple of drunken knights rolling on the floor, is just the kind of mess I'm looking for!'....A great shuffling rhythm, also a cool 'getting ready to go out song'!!....
5. Down Where The Drunkards Roll
Another superb combination of songwriting with a great vocal performance from Linda, a sympathetic low-key backing lets Linda's voice really shine here.....I'm all out of accolades!.
6. We Sing Hallelujah
This may be where some listeners 'get off the bus' with a more obviously 'english folk' sound this is one of the 2 weaker tracks on the album, it's relative though, I still sing along to this one when it comes on!...a more 'sing-along' folk number, still I'm fond of it personally....a lighter tone here
7. Has He Got A Friend For Me
A return to the more introspective sombre tone of 'Down Where The Drunkards Roll', Linda takes on the role of a lonely woman wondering if 'he's got a friend for me?'. It's another flawless vocal performance though and reminds me of Sandy Denny, a close friend of the Thompson's.
8. The Little Beggar Girl
Before the emotional wallop of the album's last two tracks there's some light relief here, one of the two weaker tracks, this is still good fun. Richard joins Linda on the chorus of 'I'm only a poor little beggar girl', definitely in the english folk vein again, another 'sing-song' track.
9. The End Of The Rainbow
I don't see how anyone wouldn't think this was a great song, folk fan or not. A very dark lyrical tale as Richard sings to an unborn child: 'life seems so rosy in the cradle, but I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store, there's nothing at the end of the rainbow, there's nothing to grow up for anymore....' Probably not one to hear if you're feeling depressed!, great song though...
10 The Great Valerio
Linda arguably saves her best performance to the end here, backed mostly just by Richard's acoustic guitar this sombre ballad closes out the album in great style. A song about a trapeze artist?, powerful stuff nonetheless.....
If you hadn't already guessed I'm a massive Richard Thompson fan, I've seen him live 3 times and hopefully off to see him again in a couple of weeks. He's a recording artist that has stayed true to his songwriting muse and hasn't become swayed by fashions or fads. He's crafted a unique sound as a guitarist blending the modal scales of folk music with blues and rock, certainly a lot more original than the usual blues chunking which people go crazy over. The songs are the 'business' though, if you don't like Thompson's voice [as many don't with Dylan] there will be someone with a more palatable voice out there who's covered a lot of his songs anyway. There's almost 40 years of brilliant music awaiting those that want to jump in....
Can be bought for about £5 on Amazon UK
A compilation of songs by Richard Thompson and Linda Thompson taken from material written during the fairport covention and later solo work. The songs are all performed and re recorded by Richard and Linda Thompson (not original recordings).
Richard Thompson was a member of the popular folk group Fairport Convention of the late sixties and seventies. After he left he produced recordings as a solo artist and with Linda Thompson. This album contains music of the same genre (folk rock) and includes hits from the days of Fairport convention.
In my opinion this album does not reflect the brilliance of some of Richard Thompson's solo work and it lacks the feeling and character of the original versions. I don't feel that Linda Thompson contributes to the level of her solo work either and I think that although this is a good album by most standards, it would be a very poor example of either artist's full potential.
The songs are all lacking in a certain something that made the originals so good.
Overall, it is not an unpleasant album but by no means either of their best. If you want to sample Richard Thompson's work I would recommend either his Mock Tudor album or Mirror Blue. I only have a compilation of Fairport Conventions work so can't suggest an album, but the songs I have heard from them are better than the reproductions of them on this cd.
Even after thirty years or so, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Richard Thompson is still one of our best-kept musical secrets. Hes never had (and probably doesnt want) a hit single, and none of his albums sold in enough quantities to make even the lower reaches of the album chart until the late 80s. He was a founder member of evergreen folk-rock institution Fairport Convention, though he left them around 1971 to perform first a solo career, then work as a duo with his first wife Linda, then after they split, as a soloist again.
'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight', from 1974, was the first of six albums Richard and Linda recorded as a duo. It was quite unlike almost anything else in the British music scene at the time, and it established them as critical favourites whom fellow performers and the likes of John Peel adored but whose records barely sold at all.
Take Richards voice, often described as sturdy yeoman, and Lindas much purer, sweeter (but not sickly) vocals, go together a treat. Take his wonderful songs, and his instrumental talents lead and acoustic guitars, mandolin, hammered dulcimer and add a few guests on concertina and crumhorn, plus a silver band, and what have you got? Youve got a record which is now rightly recognised as one of the seminal British folk-rock classics, if not indeed one of THE great British albums of its age.
There are ten tracks altogether. Linda takes lead vocal on six, Richard on the others, though on each theres a certain amount of harmonising between them. Taking Lindas songs first, they include the title track, which was almost a hit when covered by Julie Covington in 1978 (and Richard played guitar on that too), is a bittersweet, rather cynical song which could celebrate either the joys of a nine-to-fiver letting his or her hair down at the weekend, or alternatively a lady of the night looking for business, while the big boys are all spoiling for a fight. Its up to the listener to make their own interpretation. A wonderfully infectious chorus line is a complemented by a slow rhythm which verges on reggae and the CWS Manchester Silver Band.
Withered And Died is a wistful song, almost waltz-like in tempo, about the loss of dreams and innocence as a child, with the gentlest of acoustic guitar and accordeon in the background. Down Where The Drunkards Roll and Has He Got A Friend For Me are both in the same low-key vein. Lindas voice is generally suited to the slower songs like these, and in my view the only slightly weak spot is the final track The Great Valerio. A song about a tightrope walker, its the longest of all (nearly five and a half minutes), and doesnt quite gell in the way the others do.
That leaves one more Linda vocal, the sprightly The Little Beggar Girl. Its almost like a turn of the century music hall number with its playful mood, singalong chorus and niftily-picked mandolin plus a kind of sea-shanty feeling thanks to the accordeon. If youre familiar with the work of Maddy Prior and Steeleye Span, its quite similar.
As for Richards performances, first theres When I Get To The Border. Musically this is probably my favourite on the album I love the way the instrumental break switches between accordeon, mandolin, almost blood-curdling lead guitar and crumhorn in quick succession. His weeping guitar on the downbeat Calvary Cross is wonderful too. Lyrically, he doesnt get much more powerful than on The End of The Rainbow. This one is, well, rather chilling stuff. Written from the viewpoint of a father talking to his newborn baby, its full of sombre lines like "Life seems so rosy in the cradle, but I'll tell you what's in store. There's nothing at the end of the rainbow, there's nothing to grow up for any more." Something I expect many of us can identify with. (Call me an old misery and see if I care).
Lest you think Richard makes even Victor Meldrew sound jolly, theres always the one remaining track, We Sing Hallelujah. Theres something rather hymn-like about this one, but in the best possible way. A man is like a rusty wheel on a rusty cart, he sings his song as he rattles along, and then he falls apart. Cue crumhorns and some stirring vocal harmonies from Linda on the choruses again. Its wonderfully uplifting without being frothy.
Overall, the album is rather sombre in mood. Its not exactly one you would necessarily put on a party theres a time and a place for everything. On second thoughts, though we never did, I can imagine it being the kind of record my best Bob Dylan-loving friends at college and I might have put on at about 1.30 a.m. when those of us who hadnt crashed out wanted something a little more thoughtful. (Ahhh, sweet student days from the mid-70s )
Note this CD has appeared in two versions. The one Ive reviewed, now deleted, is a straight CD reissue of the original 1974 album, with lyrics. There is a newer remastered edition (Amazon £6.97) which also includes new booklet notes, archive photos, and three bonus live tracks, much to the annoyance of Richard himself who was not consulted. In a Q & A page on his website, he was quoted as saying an album is an album, and was intended a certain way.
But whichever version you get, unless its not your thing at all, it could very well be an album youll come back to time and time again. Its not one of your instant hey this is fantastic listens, but one that gets better with time.

C=a+b; For a=1:1:1000, b=1:1:1000,I want to calculate C Value,,,I will be putting delay after calulating one addition and thereafter I want to give a flexibility to put his\her own 'a','b' value ,,,while code is executing,,,,Is it possible in MATLAB script?,,,if possible ,can anyone give me the hint to perform it
Log in to comment.
Assuming that the variables a and b correspond to tunable parameters of a block, you can indeed change the value of either variable in the MATLAB workspace and run set_param('modelname', 'SimulationCommand', 'update') to make the model notice the new values.
If 'a' and 'b' are signals, you may find this section in the documentation useful: Access Block Data During Simulation.
Not sure what you mean by "set block value as Tunable parameter" - the block itself decides whether or not a given parameter is tunable. You can test this by pausing an already running simulation, double-click on the block dialog and see if it is still editable. One tunable-parameters are editable during simulation.
Thank you,,If I want to edit the values of tunnable parameters means I should pause the simulation?
No, you should be able to edit the parameter by double-clicking on the block or using set_param('path/to/block', 'ParamName', 'ParamValue') followed by set_param('modelname', 'SimulationCommand', 'update').

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by JerryScript, Jul 19, 2011.
J/W what the default font was for Backside.
You should stop trading your rooted phone in telling them there was an issue with the phone. I've seen you've done this a few times. I normally wont say anything but your taking advantage of it. If you can't do it don't root.
Thats the thing.. rooting wasn't a problom and rooting doest void best buys warranty it voids LG's
The service department at Best Buy would probably disagree. I was a senior pc tech there for four years (pre Geek Squad), and I saw them turn away customers who had installed Linux. I thought that was bull, but it kind of highlights the mentality they have. That's part of why I don't work there anymore.
Are you sure about that? Most warranty's only cover defects in material or workmanship.
The back of a Best Buy receipt under "Non-returnable Items" : Items that are damaged or abused. This is exactly what you are doing to them before you are returning them.
Specifically, Best Buy will only cover the original software environment. I always hated telling customers to remove XP and downgrade to ME before I was allowed to help them. Another reason I no longer work there.
The theme won't have any impact on how long your battery lasts. Remember, your phone can only estimate the charge, based on past performance. Your best bet is to just roll with it for about a week (I know it shouldn't take that long, but better safe than sorry), let the system figure out where the charge levels really are. There is always a settling in period of a few days after flashing a new ROM. Your battery will probably start lasting longer, but it may be gradual enough for you not to notice. I'd say give it a week before you decide it isn't working. I've had mine since last February, and I still see fluctuations in how long a charge will last. I'm just happy on days when it lasts until bedtime (not often). I find if I start at 100% in the morning, I'm down to about 50% by the just after lunchtime. Then again, I play with it way too much. (!) My phone. I play with my phone way too much.
As you said.. the original software enviorment. That I'm running. And I take very good care of my device and the warranty covers factory defects and it was freaking out pre root
Fair enough, as long as it has the stock recovery on it. We're aren't the Return/Exchange police, but we don't want to encourage people to abuse the policies of big corporations. That's the kind of behavior that gets sites taken down, or users banned, and that's what we're trying to avoid here.
camnykool, come on now. What about the first 2 phones you returned. Those weren't your fault, were they?
Sorry to interrupt this "conversation" but does anyone have a linky for the stock recovery?
EDIT: Nevermind, I just found this haha
The novatek screen is the older screen right? I think I have the older one.. how do I check?
Try looking here http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...my-first-rom-recovery-switch.html#post3550058
Updated to the new build. Liking the look of the transparent status bar, but it doesn't seem usable. This is what it looks like when I open Dolphin.
If the background of the app you are using is white, then white is what's going to show when it's transparent. Not much that can be done about that one. However, you can make the status bar custom color partially transparent instead of fully transparent, which should help with your situation.
I just noticed that the latest build, 12162011, does not display the date upon expanding the status bar as it used to behave. Can someone please verify to see if this is the case or is it just a problem with my updating? TIA.
Verified, my bad. Originally, it caused problems with overlaying the centered status bar clock, so I temporarily removed it while working on the status bar background code. I forgot to add it back in, but it will be back in the next build. Sorry, some times you miss what you don't see.
I didn't even notice that either. Would like to see it back though.
Agreed. I didn't catch that one either.
This request may seem silly, but I was wondering if, when you release a new update, in the post you make, you say something like...
System Tweaks, Faster! or Can change looks more!
I know it's kinda silly but I tend to avoid updating every single time and that'd allow me to easily grasp if updating is necessary or simply pretty.
Jerry tries to make every update worthwhile, from bug fixes to eye candy. Also, he keeps in sync with Cyanogen, so updates here also reflect updates and changes there. It isn't really as simple as saying "I've changed this, that, and the other" when there is so much going on behind the scenes, as it were. Don't get me wrong, I understand your point of view, but your request isn't silly so much as impractical.
what is this? it is titled crash

That is a system log. What happened? I know what this is, but I don't know how to interpret what it's trying to tell us. Jerry would know, or bigsupersquid.
Looks like a bug report generated by a crashing app. Which media player are you using?
This is way deeper into coding than my experience, but my Google fu did turn up this...
Don't really know if it's related or not, but it has many of the same flags.
Ah. Didn't think to check the custom color option. Set the alpha to ~65% and it looks much better.
Is it yet possible to make the notification area transparent?

In the Headlines
It's a busy day for European officials. This morning, the German parliament votes on the euro bailout fund. Later today, politicians meet in Brussels in an attempt to finalize a plan to address the regional debt crisis.
U.S. equity futures suggested a higher open Wednesday, ahead of these developments. However, futures had also pointed to positive open early Tuesday, and the indices ended with steep losses.
NYSE volume Tuesday was heavier than the prior session. Downside trade in DJIA component 3M (MMM) was more than double average levels, contributing to the heavy index volume.
Prices in some commodities and precious metals climbed early Wednesday. Many analysts have surmised that hope for a third round of quantitative easing is behind some of the buying.
Light crude rose $0.24 per barrel in electronic trade, to $93.41. Gold was up $9.20 per ounce, to $1,709.60.
Global View
European stocks showed moderate gains Tuesday, and the euro was trading higher vs. the dollar.
Asian stocks closed mostly higher after a rocky start. Hope that China would begin easing monetary policy boosted equities in the region. China has tightened its monetary policy in the past several months.
Japan's Nikkei was one of the few major indices in Asia to end lower, as a stronger yen dragged down exporters.
Economic Docket
In U.S. economic news, the Mortgage Bankers Association said loan applications rose last week, as demand for new purchases and refinancings picked up.
At 8:30 a.m. EDT, the Commerce Department issues its September durable goods report. These data measure demand for items with an intended life of three years or longer. Analysts expect the headline number to show a decline of 1% for the month.
The Commerce Department is back at 10 a.m. with its new-home sales data. Economists see a rise to 300,000 units in September, which would be poor growth, compared to levels in a healthier housing market.
In before-the-bell earnings news, Ford (F) said third-quarter earnings came in at $0.46 per share, beating views of $0.44. Revenue of $33.1 billion also topped expectations, which called for $29.9 billion.
Before today's open, the stock was up 28.5% for the month. On the conference call, analysts and investors will be listening for discussion of the European outlook, as well as the possibility of reinstating a dividend.
Ford shares slowed on the news, dropping $0.25, 2.01%, to $12.18 in early trade.
Also out early today was the third-quarter report from DJIA component Boeing (BA), which beat earnings views, reporting $1.46 per share vs. expectations of $1.10. Revenue, however, was slightly on the low side, at $17.7 billion. Analysts had expected $17.82 billion.
Boeing shares have rallied this month, but closed Tuesday nearly 21% off their 52-week high, reached in May.
The company raised its yearly earnings guidance.
Boeing shares flew $3.78 higher after the earnings news, a gain of 5.93%, to $67.50.
Market Movers
Premarket movers included, predictably, Amazon (AMZN), which missed third-quarter views late Wednesday despite posting a 44% year-over-year revenue gain. Shares tumbled $26.65, 12.61%, to $198.50 in early trade.
On the plus side, Sprint Nextel (S) bolted $0.20, 7.41%, to $2.90 after reporting a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss. The company added more customers than analysts had anticipated, and it made optimistic comments about demand for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, which Sprint launched earlier this month.
Analyst Actions
Analyst moves Wednesday included a JPMorgan downgrade of for-profit educational firm DeVry (DV), which was demoted to Neutral from Overweight. The analyst cited a disappointing quarterly report, which included news of a decline in enrollments.
DeVry shares have rallied in each of the past four weeks, although weekly volume has been below average.

I've had a lot of opportunity to teach metta, or "lovingkindness," over the last two years. One thing I'm doing differently as a result is referring to metta as "kindness," rather than "lovingkindness. The "loving" part of "lovingkindness" doesn't, to my mind, add anything, but rather takes what's a concrete experience and makes it seem rather abstract. It's easy to picture what it's like when someone is kind to you, but it's harder to imagine someone relating to you in a way that demonstrates lovingkindness.
The simple word "kindness" seems to be an ideal term to translate "metta." Kindness, after all, is simply relating to another being in a way that respects their desire to … Read more »
Two days ago I got an email message from a friend, saying that Wildmind had been hacked. Uh, oh. It was about 12:25PM, and the timing sucked, since I was just meeting with a couple of friends who were helping me move the last of my stuff out of the house I've been living in for the last nine years. As soon as that was over, it would be time to pick up my kids from school, feed them, and then take them back to school for an ice cream social and art show.
In the email my friend had sent me a screen shot, showing a screed criticizing Israel and the US. The night … Read more »
Recently someone asked me what she should do if she couldn't trust a person she was being kind to. In the past she'd tried to be compassionate to a roommate she didn't trust, and had even felt herself to be in danger. She didn't say what the exact circumstances were, but it sounded scary.
Being kind to someone means treating them as a feeling human being who, like us, has a deep-rooted desire to be happy and an equally deep-rooted desire not to suffer. It means empathizing with the fact that happiness is elusive and that suffering is all too common. Bearing these thoughts in mind makes it harder to be unkind to the other … Read more »
Recently Euan, whom I don't know, wrote a comment expressing his dismay at a girl turning him down because he was "too nice." Here's what he wrote:

I only started meditating in December 2014 and was seeing this girl for a while, we went on a couple of dates, the first went well and the second went ok. We continued messaging each other but she seemed less keen, then today she told me she felt we didn't click and didn't want to meet again. She said I paid her too many compliments and was too nice. I'm just so angry because I felt like she was leading me on and we had been speaking for
Mindful.org: Scientific evidence shows that we can train the brain to feel more compassion—for others and for ourselves.
Another science-based reason to try loving-kindness meditation! In a study conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Investigating Healthy Minds (directed by Dr. Richard J. Davidson, who was featured in Mindful's August 2014 issue), participants were taught to generate compassion for different categories of people, including both those they love and "difficult" people in their lives.
After only two weeks of online training, participants who practiced compassion meditation every day behaved more altruistically towards strangers compared to another group taught to simply regulate or control …
Bill Hathaway, Yale News: These findings won't appear on any Hallmark card, but romantic love tends to activate the same reward areas of the brain as cocaine, research has shown.
Now Yale School of Medicine researchers studying meditators have found that a more selfless variety of love — a deep and genuine wish for the happiness of others without expectation of reward — actually turns off the same reward areas that light up when lovers see each other.
"When we truly, selflessly wish for the well-being of others, we're not getting that same rush of excitement that comes with, say, a tweet from our romantic love interest, because it's not about us at all," said … Read more »
I really like this graphic that one of my Google+ friends, Shalone Cason, put together. Not only is it attractively presented, but it's a very accessible interpretation of a traditional Buddhist teaching on the advantages of kindly thoughts.

What's your preferred translation of "metta"?
As a kind of postscript to our recent Urban Retreat, which was on the theme of metta, I'm going to share my thoughts about some of the terms people use, and propose an uncommon, but I think good, English term.
The most common English term that people use for metta is "lovingkindness." That's pretty much the standard term. A search for "metta is loving-kindness" on Google brought up 17,200 results.
It's an old and well-established term in English. You might be surprised how old it is; it's found for example in a 1611 translation of the Bible (this example is from the Book … Read more »
This is not the end, but the beginning.
Here is a summary of where we've been, and a list of suggestions for continuing your exploration of meditation.
Where we're been
We hope you appreciated and benefited from the material we sent you. Remember that even if you didn't manage to read everything or watch all the videos, they're always there for you. In fact here's a handy list of all the posts we sent during the retreat:
I'm going to write less today, because sometimes I go on a bit, and I know we're all bombarded with information. So here are just a few words about the practice of compassion, and especially of self-compassion.
What is compassion? Like lovingkindness, it's a volition (something we desire or will or intend). While lovingkindness is the desire that beings find happiness, compassion is the desire to relieve suffering. Compassion flows directly from lovingkindness; we want beings to be happy, yet they suffer, and so we want their suffering to be relieved so that they can find happiness.
Compassion is not a sentiment. It's not just a feeling. Volitions are what lead to actions, and so … Read more »

The dullest Test match I've had the misfortune of covering took place in Basseterre on the Caribbean island of St Kitts in 2010.
The football World Cup was taking place in South Africa at the same time, so for the cricket to garner any kind of decent attention, the match needed some excitement.
The closest it got to that excitement was when AB de Villiers, upon reaching his century in the first innings, sprinted off the field because he was in desperate need of a toilet break.
Other than that an aggregate of over a 1000 runs was shared between South Africa and the West Indies in their respective first innings in that Test.
An elderly West Indies supporter cornered me in a pub at the end of day four of that match, and explained that he felt South Africa were being boring and lacking in ambition.
"South Africa are a much better team than the West Indies. West Indies haven't been a good team for 15 years, so you should be smashing them, man. But you bat too slow and bowl too negatively."
South Africa were leading the three Test series 1-0, with the final match to be played in Barbados.
They didn't need to push for a win on a flat pitch in St Kitts while 1-0 up and as if to underline that point, went on to win in Barbados and claimed the series 2-0.
But should they have been more ambitious?
That question came back to me as I kept an eye on the match in Harare which concluded on Tuesday. South Africa won by nine wickets in four days.
By most standards, that's a shellacking. They were dominant, but everyone expected them to be dominant, though they dominated in a way that was far from exciting.
Shaun Pollock, the former captain, explained that he felt South Africa should have been even more ambitious and ruthless.
He seemed to be making the point that South Africa, as the top side in Test cricket, owed it to the format and supporters to play with more flair and adventure.
There can be no escaping the brilliance of many individuals in the South African team – a side still in transition remember.
And as good as Zimbabwe were in that Test, as hard as they fought in conditions suited to their slowing the game down, it felt like South Africa could have and should injected more flair into their play.
That's not to say they should have been reckless. Perhaps as the players come to terms with a new captain and younger players become more established that will happen.
They owe it to the game after all. Right? - The Star

In Reply to: Overplay your hand posted by Victoria S Dennis on June 08, 2007
: : I am looking for the origin and meaning of the phrase "overplay your hand"
: It's a card-playing term. In a game such as whist or bridge every player is dealt a "hand" of cards at the beginning of the game and must decide how best to "play their hand", i.e. how to use their cards to maximum advantage. If you err on the side of overconfidence, and try to win tricks that your hand really isn't good enough to win, and lose as a result, you are said to have
overplayed your hand. (VSD)
And from here it is no great leap to the figurative use. If you are trying to score in some arena other than a card game, you are still figuratively trying to do the best you can with the hand you have been dealt, or with the cards in your hand. THose would be your assets and advantages, whatever they may be. Play them right and you will perhaps win whatever advantage or score you were looking for. If you attribute to them greater potency than they have and become overconfident you may end up in the dust, having overplayed your hand.

Philly cops harass man for open carry

Philly police currently have a "stop and frisk" directive aimed at getting illegally carried firearms off scuzzbags who shouldn't be armed. As someone who has to worry about said scuzzbags in my neighborhood I don't think that is necessarily a bad idea.
The problem is that I don't think the PPD has squared that policy with how to deal with OC activists. Do you leave OC'ers alone but go after "suspicious types" hanging out on the corner?
There is obviously a racial element at play here too. Reading accounts on PAFOA you'll frequently see something along the lines of "why are they bothering a clean cut white guy like me?" which suggests that police should simply ignore clean cut white guys with visible weapons and focus on non-whites with suspected weapons which is untenable from a policy standpoint. Indeed the whole "stop and frisk" policy has civil rights issues but one criticism since it's inception has been the policy being applied overwhelming to non-whites (not especially unusual due to demographics of high crime areas). Ignoring well dressed individuals with firearms might in practice be ok from a crime fighting perspective but is probably an ACLU suit waiting to happen.
After losing at least one high profile OC lawsuit the PPD has done some work educating officers about OC but it doesn't appear every officer got the message. There isn't really any excuse for officers who don't know the law but that said if you don't want to be "hassled", CC in Philly.

Today's post is written by guest blogger Kim Shippey: At this time of year, with Valentine cards dropping like confetti into shopping baskets, it can be hard to get a clear picture of what constitutes the kind of love that lasts, sustains mental and physical well-being, and fills every day with joy.
