Washington Wizards Preview 2013-14: Lineup, Roster Predictions, Team AnalysisOctober 25, 2013
Note: This article has been updated following the Wizards trade with the Suns to acquire center Marcin Gortat.
The Washington Wizards once again had a disappointing season last year, but the team hopes to rebound and make the playoffs for the first time in five years. Washington has built up a strong core of young players, mainly pairing point guard John Wall and shooting guard Bradley Beal up to be the future of the franchise.
But without looking too far into the future, it's important to look back at how the team fared during the 2012-13 season:
- Regular season: 29-53
- Missed playoffs
- Division: Third place in Southeast
- Conference: 12th place in East
The season was clearly broken into two halves for the Wizards, who started off the season horribly with Wall out of the lineup, only winning four games between the start of the season and the end of December 2012.
But when Wall returned during the second half of the season, the Wizards were almost a .500 team, and could have been even better if Beal were able to stay healthy.
Now that the new dynamic duo have the opportunity to play a full season together, fans are anxious to see how far this team can go with Wall leading the charge.
The Wizards brought in veteran Al Harrington to try to boost their offense and drafted two new young guys: Otto Porter Jr. and Glen Rice Jr.
Throughout the season, the rest of the NBA will be looking to see how well these young players perform under the pressure of trying to make the playoffs and if they can succeed in grabbing one of the bottom three seeds in the East.
Key Storylines
Key additions
Al Harrington, Otto Porter Jr., Glen Rice Jr. and Marcin Gortat
Leading up to Friday night, the Wizards had been fairly quiet in the offseason. However, the team recently traded injured center Emeka Okafor and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Phoenix Suns for Gortat and three other players who the Wizars will waive, ESPN reports.
Gortat is more of a scoring center than Okafor, and the acquisition gives them health at the center position, with Okafor out indefinitely.
Staying in the frontcourt, Harrington is a small-ball power forward who has traditionally been a three-point shooter. Besides Beal and small forward Martell Webster, no one in Washington was very good at shooting from behind the arc last season, and Harrington brings a drastically different play style to the power forward position compared to Nene and Jan Vesely.
Porter may have a difficult time finding playing time on this roster with Webster, Trevor Ariza, Chris Singleton and Rice also at small forward. Porter has also been injured for the majority of the offseason and preseason, so fans haven't been able to see much of the rookie besides three disappointing Summer League games.
With Porter out, Rice has performed well in the preseason. Rice is best at getting to the rim to crash the boards, but also has the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter.
Key losses
A.J. Price, Cartier Martin and Emeka Okafor
Since Okafor was sent over in a trade, it's not really a loss, since he was immediately replaced by Gortat.
However, Washington is going to miss Okafor's strong defensive presence and veteran leadership, but there was no timetable for his return with a herniated disk in his neck.
The other two players certainly aren't drastic, either.
Price struggled to fill in for Wall when he was out, and he is now competing for a spot with the Minnesota Timberwolves, while Martin is with the Atlanta Hawks.
Both players were quickly replaced on the roster; Eric Maynor replaces Price to back up Wall, while Rice fills in for Martin's depth on the bench.
Will the Marcin Gortat trade pay off?
The Gortat trade makes perfect sense for the Wizards, but they did have to give up a potentially valuable first-round draft pick.
By acquiring Gortat, the Wizards made a clear statement that they're ready to make a push for the playoffs. However, if they fall short of that goal, not having the draft pick could come back to haunt them.
Last season, Gortat averaged 11.1 points and 8.5 rebounds, both of which were down from his two previous years with the Suns. But he did pick up 1.6 blocks per game, the best average of his career.
Gortat is a great inside scorer, and does have an average shot from mid-range, especially on the sides of the hoop, but he hasn't played with the Wizards yet, and there's no telling how well he'll fit in to the offense.
Will Martell Webster or Tervor Ariza start at small forward?
Webster and Ariza have rotated the starting duties throughout the preseason, and there still doesn't seem to be a clear-cut answer.
Ariza is a much better defender than Webster and brings more experience to the roster, while Webster is a better shooter and gives the Wizards a real perimeter threat when Harrington is on the bench.
The Wizards will also have to find time for Rice and Porter, if he can come back healthy.
Webster was re-signed in the offseason for $22 million over four years (which some consider an overpayment), and having him come off the bench could kill the momentum he had finishing last season.
When Wall was back in the lineup, Webster played significantly better then when he was injured, so having the backcourt of Wall, Beal and Webster could be a legitimate offensive force in the East.
What kind of role will Al Harrington play in the offense?
Harrington's production in the preseason has been fairly inconsistent, putting up only four points in Washington's game against the New York Knicks, but scoring 14 points in 19 minutes in the team's last preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
His skill set obviously isn't built to fill the Okafor role of a strong defender, and having a lineup of Wall, Beal, Webster, Harrington and Nene would be an awkward small-ball combination with Nene stranded in the middle.
The role that Harrington plays will also depend upon how well the rest of the team is performing.
If the Wizards get up in games and have a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, Nene and Vesely will likely be on the floor to defend, whereas Harrington will be playing if they need to come from behind in the final seven minutes of a game.
As long as Harrington can stay healthy, there's no doubt he adds a much-needed new dimension to Washington's offense, but how many minutes he'll pick up and how visible he'll be in the game plan remains to be seen.
Depth Chart Breakdown and Grades
|2013-14 Washington Wizards projected depth chart

|Power forward
|John Wall

For the breakdown of the players individually, you can check out the Wizards player power ranking slideshow. Here's out each position stacks up.
Point guard: B+
John Wall is obviously the best player on the team, and is one of the top eight or nine point guards in the NBA.
However, what holds this position back is the backup role. Eric Maynor has bounced around between teams in his NBA career and has generally been disappointing in the preseason, scoring zero points in 18 minutes in Washington's last preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Wall has clearly been spending the preseason working on his jump shot, pulling up on shots far more than last season, when he would traditionally drive to the basket.
It's important for Wall to develop a better mid-range shot, but his real strength lies in his ability to dribble and get the ball to the rim. If he sticks to that and can shoot 40 percent or so from 16 feet, he'll be fine.
Shooting guard: B
Like the point guard position, the starter is set. Bradley Beal had a solid rookie campaign and is looking to come back even stronger this season.
Beal has torn up the preseason, dropping 21 points against the Cavaliers and 29 against the Miami Heat.
However, there is no real backup at shooting guard besides Garrett Temple, who is a career 39.6 percent shooter.
In the preseason, Beal has shot over 49 percent from three, according to Vorped. If he can at least break 35 percent from three, Beal could be the top scorer for the Wizards this season.
Small forward: A
No one small forward sticks out on this roster, but because the position is so deep, it gets the mark for the strongest position on the team.
Martell Webster is a quality scorer (or at least came on as one last season), while Trevor Ariza is a strong defensive player.
Glen Rice Jr. could also turn into the steal of the 2013 NBA Draft if he pans out. Rice is talented and could see a few minutes per game with Otto Porter Jr. still hurt.
If Porter can return healthy, he adds even more depth to this position. Between Webster and Porter, they averaged 39.3 percent three-point shooting for about 20 points per game.
It's not astounding numbers that Webster and Ariza are producing, but with the depth at this position, it's easily the strongest.
Power Forward: C+
With Gortat on the team now, Nene will be allowed to move back to power forward, his natural position.
Behind Nene, there is Harrington, but the more standard power forwards are below-average, including Kevin Seraphin (who can't defend) and Jan Vesely (who can't score).
But if he can stay healthy, Nene is a quality low-post power forward, but is getting up there in age and is coming off one of his worst offensive seasons in the NBA.
With the addition of Harrington, Nene should be able to cut back on his minutes, which could lead to more games played, but it just always seems like Nene finds a way to get hurt.
Center: C+
As previously stated, Gortat is a solid offensive center, should mesh nicely with Washington's backcourt.
But off the bench, the center position doesn't have much to offer. Now that the Wizards have a healthy center, Seraphin will likely be used like he was last season, coming off the bench as a backup center.
Seraphin was good on offense in the preseason, but continues to struggle on defense. Seraphin will likely get quality minutes, too, because Gortat played in 30 minutes per game last year for the Suns, and he'll be turning 30 in February.
The Gortat trade strengthened this position, but there are still some questions that will follow Washington's centers around all season.
What to watch for
Washington isn't the most exciting team to watch on a daily basis, but if they are able to get hot and make the playoffs, it could be one of the top stories in the NBA.
There are also a number of lesser-known storylines that will make the Wizards an interesting team to casually follow as an NBA fan.
Breakout player prediction: Al Harrington
Because he missed most of last season with the Orlando Magic, Harrington ins't getting much attention. But he's been fairly impressive as an offensive weapon in the preseason, and with Okafor out, he's going to get a nice chunk of minutes every game, and he could end up being one of the top four scorers on the team.
Team MVP prediction: John Wall
Is there really any other option here? Wall runs the Wizards offense, and he is looking better than ever coming off of his half of a season last year.
When all is said and done, the Wizards will only make the playoffs if they can stay healthy and if Wall can continue to play like he did in the last three months or so of the 2012-13 season.
Most disappointing player prediction: Otto Porter Jr.
Fans were really excited to see the Wizards pick up Porter in the draft. He is a young talent, and he went to Georgetown, so he'll be starting his NBA career at home.
But so far, Porter has had both a knee injury and a hip flexor, and he's only played in three Summer League games, missing the entire preseason. If he is able to come back, it'll be tough to find any major minutes for him in the current lineup. He could be a quality player down the road, but don't expect him to produce much this season.
Player most likely to be traded: Trevor Ariza
Now that Okafor is gone, the last big expiring contract in Washington is Ariza, who is making just over $7.7 million this season.
If Porter comes back healthy, the Wizards may want to clear space on the roster for he and Rice, or if they start to slide and are on pace to miss the playoffs, team president Ernie Grunfeld my try to turn Ariza into a draft pick or a younger player.
Biggest rivalry: Cleveland Cavaliers
Every Wizards fan of the past seven years or so knows how tough the Cavs have played the Wizards (especially in the playoffs). This regular season should be no different, although Cleveland and Washington only face off four times.
However, those four games could be the best of the year. The Kyrie Irving versus John Wall matchup is always fun to watch, and these two teams could be battling it out for one of the last playoff spots in the East this season.
Best-Case, Worst-Case Scenarios with Predicted W-L record
Best-case scenario
John Wall doesn't skip a beat from the end of last season, and the offense is able to get going with Gortat at center. With Nene over at power forward, the defense still stays strong and Seraphin becomes serviceable on defense.
Bradley Beal also makes a big leap this season in his production and scores over 20 points per game, giving the Wizards a No. 2 scoring option.
Behind good defense and big offensive numbers from Wall and Beal, the Wizards make the playoffs.
Worst-case scenario
The Wizards are never able to put it all together, and miss the playoffs and are now out of a first-round draft pick in what is shaping up to be an amazing draft class.
Washington simply can't score enough to stay in games and are often beaten by 10 points a night.
John Wall also becomes too focused on getting a jump shot and becomes less effective at the rim, cutting his scoring down by five or six points per game.
Because of the poor defensive play without Okafor, and a lack of offensive weapons to keep the Wizards in games, they miss the playoffs.
Predicted W-L record: 43-41
The Gortat trade helps Washington in the frontcourt, and if everyone can stay healthy, they are almost a lock to finish the season above .500.
Beal is playing extremely well this preseason, and he could become one of the top shooting guards in the league by the end of this season.
The rotation of Webster and Ariza at small forward will also be a strength for Washington, and the addition of Al Harrington will give them an extra scoring threat, increasing their offensive production to 96 points or so per game.
Washington will end up surprising a few teams in the East this year, and the Wizards will sneak into the playoffs as the No. 7 or No. 8 seed.

Stockholm and Arteixo, Spain—While H & M and Inditex, rivals in fast fashion retail, both reported today increases in their most recent sales periods, currency fluctuations and the costs of expansion are giving analysts cause for scrutiny on the two retail giants.
As reportedly the two largest apparel fashion retailers on the globe, the two European based companies face similar challenges this year: rapid expansion internationally, increased costs as cotton prices are at more than double the 10-year average and cautious-spending consumers who are worried about inflation and employment. And both, retail analysts note, say they are unwilling to raise prices to pass on rising costs to their consumers, "which is slowly nibbling away at both companies' margins."
H&M, "the world's second-biggest clothing chain," reported 12% growth from March 1 to May 31.On the other hand, Inditex, owner of the Zara fashion chain, recorded 11% sales growth in the period from February 1 to June 12. That's in each retailer's local currencies, however.
Adjusted for currency fluctuations, however, H&M's sales rose only 2% to 27.6 billion krone (excluding VAT), missing analysts' average estimates expecting a 5.4% increase on sales of 28.4 billion krone.
H&M blamed gap on the strong krona and the fact that 95% of its operations are outside of its home country and most of its apparel is sourced in U.S. dollars and sold in euros.
H&M explained that this is a mere translation effect, as earnings are brought home to Sweden. Also, 95% of its operations are outside Sweden, with most of its clothes sourced in dollars and most of its apparel sold in euros.
Still, with Sweden's central bank expected to keep pushing interest rates higher in 2011 and the krona set to keep on climbing, H&M shareholders face the gloomier future.
Fast-growing Emerging Market Help
However, Inditex, "the world's biggest clothing retailer," outperformed expectations in the quarter, delivering a 10% rise in profit as demand increased from its expansion into emerging markets.
Inditex said net sales rose 11% to 2.96 billion euros in its fiscal first quarter, and continued at that rate up to June 12.
Since Inditex buys a larger proportion of its apparel in Europe and North Africa–where wage increases have been much lower than in Asia–and because of a presence in fast-growing emerging markets, the company appears to be faring better this year.
The company, which also owns retail brands including Massimo Dutti, Pull and Bear, and Bershka, continued its expansion with another 110 stores opening during the period, bringing its total portfolio to 5,154 outlets at the end of the quarter.
The new stores included Zara's first shop in Australia, with plans for Inditex to open its first outlets in South Africa, Taiwan and Peru before the end of 2011.
Meanwhile, Inditex announced that a number of its fashion retail brands, including Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull and Bear, Oysho and Uterqüe, would begin e-commerce operations on September 6 in selected European markets.
Zara, which already has e-commerce operations in 16 European countries, will begin operating in the United States on September 7, the company also said.

MIT prof creates Liquid Metal Battery
Liquid metal batteries can store that power in dirt-cheap materials and respond to the intermittent flows. They can provide grid-sized storage in small volumes. With liquid metal technology, various inputs and outputs have a reliable cushion to maintain perfect flow when the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing.
MIT professor Donald Sadoway, inventor of the Liquid Metal Battery (LMB), changed the name of his company to Ambri last year and landed encouraging private contracts along with significant capital infusion. Ambri is creating a clear path for many across a turbulent sea of clashes in the volatile energy world.
In 2005 Professor Sadoway, trained as a metallurgist, found the immense size of aluminum smelting as the solution to the problem of electric storage on a mass scale.
Aluminum smelters consume huge amounts of energy and work with material in liquid states when their capacity for electric storage is far greater and more durable than with solid storage.
LMB technology is an inverted version of smelting, aimed at controlling flow of electricity in varying temperatures of alloying metals, rather than controlling temperature of those metals by varying the flow of electricity, as in smelting.
"I looked at that and said, 'Wow, that looks like half of a battery! And it's big, it's scalable, and it's cheap.'"
LMBs can store and retrieve large amounts of electricity with excellent efficiency in a relatively small space. They store electrons by using two liquid metals and a liquid salt in between them. Ambri uses low-cost materials to create highly practical storage with portability, unlike the competition today.
Most (99%) of the grid-storage of electrical energy consists of pumping water up during periods of low-cost power and then releasing it to generate electricity during peak periods when electricity rates rise. These operations require site-specific geographic features but little money.
LMB technology creates new planning options without utility constraints.
Picture a neighborhood with 100 homes and small businesses with solar arrays on several community parking garages, carports, houses, malls, and open-air pavilions in a park. A few wind generators dot the hilltops and rim the parking lots. No power lines connect to the grid, just a toe-print shining on a hill.
The local LMB, roughly the size of a phone booth, handles the juice. In that phone booth awaits SuperStream, an ordinary mild-mannered molten alloy, ready at a moment's notice to bust out as a stream of electrons to leap tall buildings in a single bound with more power than a locomotive.
Solar and wind catch the power; LMBs store it until you want it
Since the beginning, our Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) have been the primary supplier, and most consumers have been mostly just consuming. As solar and wind eat into the market, IOUs are moving towards 'back-up' position - paying for infra-structure with a shrinking pool of clients while facing a serious threat to their traditional business model in the changing times.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels improved significantly in efficiency as they dropped in price over 90% in the last 20 years. Some wind energy systems are simple projects with online manuals and videos (such as KISS) spawning numerous weekend wind warriors to wire up the breeze. Utilities are scrambling to slow the flow to solar and wind.
Under PURPA laws, IOUs offer clients a 'tie-in' and 'reasonable rates' for electricity-generation systems (solar, wind and bio-mass) to share the grid. LMBs change everything, as their storage capacity puts communities in charge of their own power from available resources stored in their LMB. No stinkin' utility company needed.
Hawaii project to link LMBs with roof-top solar and wind - A visionary's Win-Win
Hawaii has over-loaded its system during peak hours by accepting electricity onto the grid from just 5% of its homes - those with roof-top solar. Not only does this tiny fraction of homes and small businesses no longer require electricity during the sunny peak periods, but they also have some left-over juice to dump onto the grid. When it rains, it pours.
Hawaii has no fossil deposits. For decades, Hawaiians depended on oil imports. Along comes Ambri with a liquid metal battery to store some energy from the sun and wind as electrons, to handle the need without the expensive oil dependency, and to rely on free deliveries daily, to float on a 'power cushion' of LMBs.
As solar and wind have dropped in installed price, Hawaii's only problem is limited grid capacity. Ambri's contract with Hawaii will let the sun shine in while LMBs store power from abundant sun and breeze in liquid metal batteries. They may liberate our island state from the grip of oil and reduce the highest rates in the US.
Office of Naval Research contracts for LMBs to manage power at Joint Base Cape Cod
In Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Ambri also landed a contract with the Office of Naval Research for energy storage in conjunction with Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. By 2015, a liquid metal battery the size of a shipping container will manage multiple inputs from Cape Cod's onsite solar and wind generation facilities while supplying numerous fluctuating outputs on a massive scale, powering parts of military base operations with uninterrupted service.
Multi-national corporations, governments and utilities are watching the results of these installations. As Ambri has leveraged startup money for such projects, they are also building larger manufacturing facilities to handle the demand. They have funding from Bill Gates, venture capitalist Khosla and French energy giant Total.
Durable and reliable, these efficient and long-lasting storage units of electrical power are now available in the break-through technology for storing electrons in dirt-cheap elements available universally – Liquid Metal Batteries.

The round-trip talk time would have such lag that each end would likely forget a conversation was ever even started.
Plausible Science Fiction ways around this, fiction mind you, but seated in remote possibility, would be to send one end of a stable micro-wormhole however long it might take a space craft to travel those 40 light years; many many thousands of years using today's propulsion, but, when the wormhole got there, we'd then have instant communication, if there's anyone there, and if anyone on this end even remembered there was a phone line left open on this end.
The most distant spacecraft humans have made is Voyager 1, which is currently about 100 AU from the Sun, after 30 years of travel. At this rate it will take 18,750 years for Voyager 1 to travel one light-year.
So, 18,750 x 40 = 750,000 years to travel 40 light years ONE way at the speed of Voyager.
That's 3/4ths of 1 MILLION years.
Thus, as said, if there was anyone on the other end of the micro-wormhole when it arrived to talk, and anyone here even remembered we had a phone line sent off to planet XYZ 750,000 years ago, then, we'd have some instant full-duplex conversation; with as much bandwidth as can/could be squeezed out of a micro-wormhole.
Something to consider:
Radio and television broadcasts from 40 years ago in 1972 are at the 40 light-year mark in our ever expanding radio bubble.
Aliens could be listening to this:
Imagine an alien civilization influenced by this where a disco Inferno Alien sets off to make contact with the signal origin.

Well, Miles came through like a champ. He always does. But this was the hardest surgery in terms of his anxiety. He's had an emergency surgery at 1 mo. for hernia repair, a cleft palate repair at 10 mos., adenoids removed at 3 yrs. (not to mention the MRIs and overnight EEGs, etc…ok, maybe I did mention them), but this was by far the easiest procedure–they didn't use general anesthesia and breathing tube like the others, but he was really nervous. The nurse took us in to get his hospital gown on. He wanted me to pray with him before he did. Then the anesthesiologist met with us and told me they'd be taking him to the O.R. I asked if I could take him (I've been able to everytime to be the one to lay him on the operating table–super hard for me, but helps him) They wouldn't let me. So he asked me to pray with him again. Then he said "Will God take care of me like he did Noah?" He was very brave, but it is so hard as a parent to turn your child over like that!
I've been thinking alot about God calling Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. It's very hard to understand…
Miles came out of anesthesia fine (this is always a concern, as he's had convulsions and seizures before waking up from surgery.) And it was so cool to see how Jack's demeanor changed as soon as he saw Miles in pain. He had been so demanding in the waiting room, typical world-revolves-around-me-I'm-3yrs. old…but once he saw Miles crying as he was coming out of anesthesia, his heart just melted, and he was kissing his toes and head and getting him juice and trying to make him laugh. It was precious. Up to that point, I was thinking it was a mistake to have Jack along, but I was so thankful to see the care and concern he showed for Miles in his time of need.
Most of all, we just feel very blessed. Last week, Miles was in pain with moderate hearing loss. Now he's doing just fine, no infection from unsanitized equipment, skilled drs., health insurance. I usually take these things for granted, but not after checking out this…Global Rich List
Type in your income, and it will show you what percentage of the world's income you fall in.
Unicef cites that 35,000 people a DAY die from poverty! Most of these are starvation, but also treatable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria. 75% of those are children.

A moist, perfectly browned turkey is a must on Thanksgiving. And it isn't complete without a delicious stuffing.
Of course, preparing a holiday dinner from scratch is a lot of work. Can you wow your guests with a store-bought stuffing? Consumer Reports tested 11 to see if you can cut a few corners and still get tasty results.
Testers looked at ones from Stovetop, Arnold, Pepperidge Farm, and even Great Value from Walmart.
Each stuffing was prepared according to directions adding ingredients like butter or margarine, celery, onions, and broth.
"We want a stuffing to have a fresh broth flavor, not bouillon, and you want it to taste of fresh vegetables, not dried or dried herbs," said Ellen Kloz.
These stuffings didn't come close to homemade.
"Most of the stuffings tasted of chewy vegetables, crunchy crumbs, dried seasonings, overpowering herbs, and a flavor of bouillon," adds Kloz.
But testers say there's hope. Two from Pepperidge Farm ,the Herb Seasoned and Cornbread stuffings are fresh-tasting, flavorful, and moist.
"Both of the Pepperidge Farm stuffings called for fresh ingredients, sautéed onions and celery. It's a little more work, but it's worth it for the taste," adds Kloz.
Consumer Reports says both would be a tasty addition to your Thanksgiving dinner? and no one need ever know the stuffing isn't homemade.
While you wouldn't mistake turkey stuffing for a health food, Consumer Reports says you can make it a little healthier by reducing the salt and fat. You can use a lower-sodium broth, cut back on the amount of butter, and add more fresh veggies and herbs for more flavor, instead of more salt.

Jason Kenney, Canada's Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister recently stated that by 2014, the International Experience Canada (IEC) programme will offer 10,000 18-35 year old Irish people an open work permit and the opportunity to spend a year under Canadian employment. The IEC programme effectively provides something of a student exchange service, so conversely, just as with the Irish, Canadian's will get the chance to experience a year in the life of a working Irishman.
In order to simplify the whole process and to reduce the workplace disruption stemming from repeat staff transfers, Kenney is introducing new application parameters that will permit residence to the Irish for two years instead of one, although the number of visits will decrease from twice to just once. These advances are expected to enhance the well established relationship already shared between the two countries.
So as to facilitate the expansion of employment opportunities and to further aid economic growth, similar complementary changes that have Ireland's Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Eamon Gilmore's approval, are being introduced to Kenney's Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Canada's economic immigration programme.
Kenney has commented on the recent changes that will lead to significant developments in Canada's surely brighter future:
"Our government is focused on creating a proactive, nimble immigration system that helps us grow Canada's economy … relations between Ireland and Canada are already close, based on family ties, historically rooted cultural affinities and shared democratic political traditions … the expansion of the Canada-Ireland working holiday agreement will also help build a stronger Canada … the proposed changes to the CEC will make the programme more flexible and give many people who are temporarily working in Canada a more realistic chance of staying as permanent residents and eventually citizens if they so choose. That includes many young people who are in Canada as part of their working holiday, who may have found a good job and want to stay and build a new life here."


text: One of the first proposals I ever made for Erlang was a MODULE-PRIVATE naming system for processes. The idea was that the declaration -pidname(Name). would set up Name as a module-private (unexported and unexportable) single-process "registry". At that time, virtually all the uses of the process registry that I could find *should* have been module-private and presumably would have been if there had been any kind of module- private registry to use. As far as I can see, if we're going to change anything about processes, names should go. We don't require numbers to have names; we don't any longer require functions to have names; why require processes to have names?

The Book of Smokeless Fire
By S. Ben Qayin
In "The Book of Smokeless Fire", the ancient manuscript has now been reworked into a completely new system, utilizing revolutionary evocation technology, to again call upon the ancient and destructive Djinn, whose names have been concealed for centuries…"
Author S. Ben Qayin has outdone himself with this stunning interpretation and cohesive reworking of a long lost magickal discipline. The Book of Smokeless Fire is over 190 pages of pure magickal knowledge laid out in an easy to read format that really flows. With no fluff, filler, and no nonsense, Qayin manages to take what some have dabbled in and written about in the past and open it up into a fully workable system of magick.

Steve admonished me for not doing justice to our visit to Flat Creek Lodge in last week's column. I got carried away telling you about the divinely delicious food we consumed during our visit. We actually did a little more than just eat while we were there. As usual, Steve is right. There is so much more to Flat Creek than fine dining.
You'll have to get your car a little dusty to get to Flat Creek Lodge. The only way in is down a good ol' Georgia country dirt road. Long before you arrive at the gates, you've arrived at Flat Creek Lodge. With 1,860 acres, you could drive for quite a while on their land. But this isn't your typical Southern hunting lodge. The grounds are decorated with iron statuary made by local artists. A vine-draped arbor with chairs and tables invite you to sit and relax, and, if it's a bit chilly outside, then cozy up to the outdoor fireplace.
The 12 lodge rooms bear names of wildlife. On this visit, we stayed in the Deer room. No rickety squeaking beds can be found at Flat Creek. The plush beds beg for a good night's sleep and the sheets are as soft as silk. In the rustic closet hang two soft and warm terrycloth robes with two sets of slippers neatly placed under them.
The only thing that squeaks is the screen door that leads out onto the veranda overlooking the lodge's main pond. In addition to the lodge rooms, Flat Creek also has eight guest cottages. Each cottage comes with its own golf cart for riding around the grounds. Most of the cottages have porches that overlook another one of the lakes.
Of course, there is hunting — quail, dove, deer and wild boar to name a few — and, with 240 acres of lakes and ponds, there is plenty of good fishing.
If you're not into fishing or hunting, then book a facial, pedicure or Swedish massage at the luxurious spa on the grounds of Flat Creek. Spend some time in the cedar-lined sauna room or slip into the relaxing whirlpool. If you're one of those fitness nuts, the state-of-the-art fitness center will be sure to please.
One afternoon during our stay, Steve and I borrowed the lodge's bicycles and wound down and around exploring the beautiful property. We stopped and walked around the Japanese Bath House. The statues, fountains and décor of the bath house are worth a visit, even if it isn't time for your weekly bath.
We rode past the garden and the blueberry patch and the black draped mushroom house where those delicious oyster mushrooms are grown. We rode down to the beach — yes they have a beach complete with sand, a cabana bar area and beach chairs.
We stopped and visited the cows and walked around the dairy barn, where we found several young calves resting in their pens. I had learned earlier that day from the resident cheese maker, Keith Blok, that these are grass-fed Jersey cows and they like classical music. They were very curious and came close to the fence to check out the two cyclists. After they were convinced we weren't going to feed them, they went about their way.
The dairy at Flat Creek produces about 100 pounds of milk a day, and with that milk, Keith produces some of the most exquisite cheeses I have ever tasted.
Yes, delicately flavored, smooth artisan cheese made in Swainsboro. I spent a great deal of time learning about cheese from Keith. And he knows his cheese. He grew up on a dairy farm in Ottawa, Canada, and retired from Darigold, which, according to its website, produces 150 million pounds of cheese annually in one of its many locations.
Keith has a passion for creating cheeses in the style of the nation they originated in.
He works with bacteria, heat, cold and time until he perfects the flavors of the cheese's country of origin. His Dutch Havarti melts in your mouth, and the Georgia Red (Steve's and my favorite) is reminiscent of Port-Salut that was invented by the Trappist Monks in the 19th century.
The fresh mozzarella we took home with us, paired with a slice of tomato, basil from my garden and a drizzle of my Italian dressing, almost brought tears to my eyes it was so good. This is how fresh mozzarella tastes! His cheddars are crisp and sharp, and nothing like what you buy in the store.
In all, Keith produces 25 varieties of cheese throughout the year. He and his lovely wife, Donna, who handles the sales of the products from the farms, joined Steve and me on our veranda one evening and brought samples of some of Flat Creek's cheeses. If it wasn't for the quacking of the ducks and the squealing of the swans, I could have imagined myself at a sidewalk café in France or Italy. It was a delightful night we will never forget. The cheese is unsurpassed in flavor and the master cheese maker and his wife are as delightful as their cheeses.
We were only at Flat Creek for two glorious days. The days were filled with adventure, education and, most of all, relaxation. I had cell phone service, but I didn't use it. There was wi-fi, but I didn't turn my computer on. A television and pool table were available in the game room, but we didn't visit it. We simply enjoyed the beauty of nature, good food and a slower pace of life. We found a piece of paradise just a short drive from home.
For more information on Flat Creek Lodge, their dining facilities and cheeses, including restaurants in Savannah that serve Flat Creek cheese, go to www.flatcreeklodge.com.
You've got to love a resort that has recipes on its blog. Here is one of Flat Creek's recipes. It might not be blueberry season, but these would make some really good muffins for Christmas morning.
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
¾ cup of white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup of fresh blueberries (use frozen if you can't find fresh)
½ cup of white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter, cubed
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
2. Combine 1½ cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
3. To make Crumb Topping: Mix together ½ cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, ¼ cup butter, and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done

The Internet was made for porn. That's how the Broadway musical Avenue Q put it, oh-so-lyrically.
Evidently, Silicon Valley executives agree. Zivity, a social networking start-up that will let users rate other user-submitted "sexy" photos, announced Tuesday it raised $1 million. It is helmed by chairman and co-founder Scott Bannister, who helped start IronPort Systems, an anti-spam company acquired by Cisco Systems for $830 million.
The porn industry has long been hot and heavy on the Internet. And sites such as MySpace have had to deal with users publishing questionable photos of themselves and spamming members with messages and friend requests.
Zivity said it will set itself apart by encouraging users to post a collection of photos of themselves, which will be screened by the company's moderators. Once they're up, users will be able to vote on their favorite ones — and those with the most votes will make money.
It does have rules. Nude pictures are okay. But models must show they are 18 and older. They must submit a W-9 form, so they can get paid. No sex stuff. No kiddy pix. No death and gore. Come on, show some class.

Scientist Who Reported Polar Bears Drowning Is Suspended by U.S. Agency
A U.S. government wildlife biologist whose work contributed to the listing of polar bears as a threatened species has been suspended, according to a group that supports government scientists.
Charles Monnett, a researcher in Anchorage with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, was placed on paid administrative leave July 18 while the Interior Department's inspector general investigates "integrity issues," according to a copy of the suspension order provided by Washington-based Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility or PEER.
Monnett is overseeing several scientific studies that would affect decisions on permits for oil and gas development, according to PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch. The group filed a misconduct complaint today against government officials on Monnett's behalf.
"All of the scientific contracts previously managed by Mr. Monnett are being managed by the highly qualified scientists at BOEMRE," agency spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz said today in an e-mail. Monnett's suspension was reported earlier today by the Associated Press.
In 2006, Monnett and a colleague reported observations of polar bears drowning in open waters following a storm. The paper, published in the peer-reviewed journal Polar Biology,was cited by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in its 2008 decision to list the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
President George W. Bush's administration cited the effect of global warming on the projected decline in sea ice that polar bears depend on for survival.
Climate-Change Symbol
Average temperatures in parts of the Arctic have warmed at 10 times the global average, leading to "major reductions in summer sea ice," according to the Fish and Wildlife Service's decision. Less ice "may result in increases in bear mortality associated with swimming when there is little sea ice to buffer wave action."
The designation became a symbol of the effects of climate change. "It caught public attention because it was the first sighting of drowned polar bears in open water," Ruch said in an interview. "The bears were witnessed by other people. There are contemporaneous notes and there are photos, so we're mystified as to what's going on."
The state of Alaska filed a lawsuit claiming the polar-bear decision would limit resource development and the economy.
A federal judge rejected that challenge last month. The agency's listing "represents a reasoned exercise" of its discretion based on the facts and the available science in 2008 when it made the determination, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in Washington wrote in a 116-page ruling.
'Best Available Science'
"The Endangered Species Act decisions are predicated on the best available science," Chris Tollefson, a spokesman with the Fish and Wildlife Service, said in an interview. "Our understanding of that is constantly evolving."
Tollefson said the Fish and Wildlife Service can review changes "in what we understand to be the best available science concerning a given species."
President Barack Obama created an interagency working group led by the Interior Department to oversee oil and natural-gas exploration in Alaska. The group will coordinate permit decisions and environmental reviews for onshore and offshore projects, including Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA)'s plan to drill in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.
"As we go into this period, this critical window where permits are going to be decided, you'll do it without the benefit" of Monnett's work, Ruch said.

Amazing for low end. The 2x adds a totally new dimension to your music, especially electronica. Ive quite often set this up and used it on its own to record hour upon hour of noodling which is then cut up and used in tracks. just playing with the LFO settings and twisting the knobs like crazy you end up with some amazing effects.
If i was going to mention a negative point it would be the tiny display for selecting patches. theres hundreds on there and only a 3 diget display to find them. Other than that its awesome

NL2x is a great instrument. It's sound quality is superb considering the sound is dry. Very low aliasing, none of the horrible beating on mid octaves as I have noticed on other VA's. Patch architecture is very simple, yet it can result in complex textures. 20 voice polyphony is great and is very welcome when you want to make sound phater. Mono unison is very nice as it preads voices in a stereo field - dynamically. Lush! The character of its sound is a bit on metallic side, which I love, yet it can get very 70's mellow/soft. Just check out some soft string sounds! 5 for those! You can also make some pretty cutting and harsh DX leads by syncing noise to osc 1. FM is very musical and it can deliver great EPs, bells, plucky stuff and also DX like basses. The raw sound of oscillators is very punchy, bright, present, loud,...great! The filters are...well....it's Nord. The bad or good point is, that when you crank the resonance up the low end dissapears. But you can use notch with lowpass for resonant stuff that needs to be phat :) It works. On the other hand I really like what silkyness the resonance produces on sawtooth pad sounds. Sparkling something...special! Oh, the interface is just the best ever. Simple, intuitive, no menus, just hands-on...it feels like an analogue instrument. Really. Pitch stick and mod wheel are classy and so is overall built quality. A tank. But light one that is. I would recomend this axe to everyone looking for a simple, yet powerful and unique sounding synth.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

RC4 Wireless warranty policies are the best in the business. If you don't agree, let us know why.
Seven-Day Easy Return
You may return any new RC4 Wireless Products delivered to you within the last seven days for a refund, excluding custom engineered and/or custom manufactured items. We regret that we cannot refund the shipping charges, or pay for shipping the item back to us. We will not hassle you with mountains of paperwork, but we do require that items be returned unused in the original packaging.
We Guarantee Your Satisfaction
The RC4Magic Series 2 and Series 3 warranty is the best in the business. If your RC4Magic Series 2 or Series 3 product is not working properly and you didn't misuse or abuse it, we'll fix it.
For Free. Forever.
We announced our lifetime warranty policy in March 2013. It is retroactive to all users of RC4Magic Series 2 devices, no matter when they were purchased.
For the first 90 days that you own our products, we will even cover the shipping costs for ground service within North America (continental USA, Canada, and Mexico), not including customs fees when crossing any international border. After the first year, shipping costs are your responsibility — shipping is all you pay, using the service provider and service level of your choice.
In most cases (solely at the discretion of RC4 Wireless) when you notify us of a problem, we promptly ship a replacement unit, along with packaging for return of your old one. The replacement may be refurbished, rather than new, but will be in like-new condition. The same lifetime warranty applies to the replacement, just as if it was the unit you originally purchased.
Disclaimers We Must Make
All repair periods are subject to parts availability, and do not apply to holidays or our corporate vacation times. For critical projects, we recommend purchasing spare equipment.
You cannot use our equipment in a show, then return it for a refund: our warranty is not a free rental program.
Our warranty does not apply to devices that have been abused, misused, or mishandled. We will not be responsible for physical damage, failures caused by incorrect wiring, electrical overloading and/or over-voltage, overheating caused by insufficient ventilation, or damage caused by insufficient packaging during shipping. This is not a complete list of all exclusions.
We will not be responsible for counterfeit or look-alike products not originally manufactured by RC4 Wireless.
If you smashed it with a sledgehammer, used it under water, applied high voltage to it, set it on fire, or anything else that a majority of peers would acknowledge was a bad idea, we'll need to charge you for repairs or for a replacement device.
We will not be responsible for consequential damages to other equipment, or for lost revenues. We do not guarantee our equipment to be suitable for applications other than those discussed in our application notes and brochures. In particular, no RC4 products should ever be used to control pyro devices.
Published power output ratings of some items are accurate only at specific voltages, duty-cycles, and operating temperatures. Some items may require additional cooling and/or protection circuitry to operate reliably with certain loads. Call RC4 Wireless for advice if you are unsure about any operating characteristics.
If your account payments are not up to date, we reserve the right to withhold service until payment is received.
RC4 Wireless pricing, warranty terms, and technical specifications are subject to change without notice.
For all other RC4 products, including LumenDim, W-DIM, RC6 Safe Wireless Motion, DCshow64, and original RC4Magic (yellow label), parts and labor are covered for one full year. Our lifetime warranty applies only to RC4Magic Series 2 and Series 3.
Out of Warranty Service Policy
For RC4 Wireless technology other than RC4Magic Series 2 and Series 3 requiring servicing after the first year, and for RC4Magic Series 2 and Series 3 items that are not covered under warranty, our regular shop rate will apply and parts will be billed at nominal rates. You pay the shipping charges both ways. Service work is warranted for thirty days.
We want you to be a happy and satisfied customer. Please help us serve you better by letting us know exactly what you need. Thank You!

Christ's mission on earth was to do the will of His Father. Throughout His life, He continually surrendered Himself to God. We see this early on when He was separated from His parents. He told them, "Did you not know that I had to be in my Father's house?" (Luke 2:49).
The Father desired that the lost be brought back to Himself. That's why Jesus, though a king, came not to be served but to serve—even unto death (Matt. 20:28). His ultimate purpose was to become the sacrifice needed to atone for humanity's sin and gain us access to the Father.
To accomplish His mission, Jesus suffered greatly. But even in His darkest hour, He did not turn from His calling (26:39). Ever the faithful Son, He gave us the only way to the Father and eternal life: Himself (John 14:6). Those who trust in Him are His church, and they will see Him in glory when they die.
Jesus said, "Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father" (14:9), and in fact, the two are one (10:30). Today, He sits at the Father's right hand, making intercession for us (Rom. 8:34). One day, He'll return to judge sinners and reward the saints. Are you ready to face Him? The only way you can be prepared is to receive Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord.
Because the Father's love for us is limitless, He gave His Son the mission of paying humanity's sin debt so that every person can have eternal life. When you place faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are united with the Father now and throughout all eternity.
Dr. Charles Stanley

Granted, there are 630 million of them. But practically everywhere you looked during these Beijing Games, there was another Chinese woman with a gold medal slung around her neck. By the end of the 12th day of the Games, China's female Olympians had captured 25 of the country's 45 golds, just one less than the entire American team had garnered. (By contrast, U.S. women had won only 42% of their homeland's golds.)
China's women have the legacy of Karl Marx to thank for their performance. Chairman Mao liked to say that "women hold up half the sky," and when the country revved up its state-sponsored project in the 1990s to cultivate athletes, women were given more than equal treatment. Strategically focusing on women's sports because they are underfunded in most other nations, China's sports ministry poured millions of dollars into developing everything from female marksmen to wrestlers. "Chinese girls are willing to work harder and eat more bitterness than the boys," says Dong Jianqing, a judo coach at the Qingdao Sports School in eastern China, one of the country's top athletic academies. Dong should know about girls' ability to "eat bitterness," a Chinese phrase that describes a capacity to withstand suffering. He mentored several female judoka who went on to win Olympic medals.
In Beijing, China's women have struck gold in more than a dozen disciplines, from weightlifting and gymnastics to first-ever wins in archery and sailing. The nation's females were even victorious in rowing's quadruple sculls, an event that China's sports czars began targeting seriously just a few years ago. The same goes for beach volleyball, in which the country's women placed ninth in Athens. This time around, China's red-bikini-clad sand spikers were guaranteed either gold or silver in the Aug. 21 final against the U.S.
China isn't the only communist country to have counted on its women. Think of East bloc athletes such as gymnasts Nadia Comaneci and Olga Korbut. But their male counterparts? They just didn't measure up in terms of Olympic glory. Even North Korea holds to the rule: Both of its golds in Beijing have come courtesy of female Olympians.
The power of the X chromosome doesn't extend to other areas of Chinese society. With the relaxation of a government quota system, the number of women in the civil service has plummeted. A traditional preference for boys over girls has led to widespread sex-based abortions, leaving China with one of the world's most lopsided gender ratios. In 2005, 118 Chinese boys were born for every 100 girls. That means fewer brides for a surplus of Chinese men in coming decades not to mention a dearth of future female Olympians.

If you can determine it at run-time, then a function switch would work fine. You can select based on the CPU ID instruction. This is obviously done now on the RiscPC.

Brock Lesnar's WWE Role After WrestleMania 29April 5, 2013
It's essentially guaranteed that Brock Lesnar will lose to Triple H at WrestleMania, but Lesnar's future beyond the biggest pay-per-view of the year is still up in the air.
One of the biggest criticisms about the predictability surrounding Lesnar vs. Triple H is that another loss will hurt Lesnar's appeal and that his feuds that follow won't seem as special. What's even more worrisome right now is what a loss to Triple H might do for Lesnar's future immediately after Mania.
News broke last week that both The Rock and Lesnar would be working Extreme Rules next week to give the show some added star power, but Lesnar's role on the show hasn't been made clear. What is pretty clear, though, is that whatever he's going to do at Extreme Rules will likely have to be set up at WrestleMania 29.
The big question, of course, is exactly what Lesnar will be doing at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view because there are so many different routes the creative team can take.
One possibility that has to be considered is—as dreadful as this may sound—Triple H vs. Lesnar III. If, let's say, Triple H beats Lesnar at WrestleMania to avoid retirement, perhaps Lesnar challenges Triple H to yet another match that features even more crazy stipulations this time around.
Fortunately, though, the WWE probably isn't dumb enough to have this match take place a third time when hardly anyone's really dying to see the rematch. In all likelihood, the WWE will choose to go in a different direction, but there really aren't any possible storylines that immediately jump out at you.
One possibility, however, is that Lesnar loses his match to Triple H somewhere in the first half of the WrestleMania card, goes crazy and winds up interfering in one of the other main event matches later on. After all, it would make sense for Lesnar to interfere in either CM Punk vs. The Undertaker or The Rock vs. John Cena.
The former scenario is a very logical one because both Lesnar and Punk are clients of Paul Heyman, and yet, we're still waiting to see all three men appear on-screen at the same time. Perhaps the WWE is waiting to pull the trigger on this until WrestleMania, when an enraged Lesnar interferes on behalf of Punk to try to help him end "The Streak."
Lesnar doesn't necessarily have to be successful in that attempt, as the WWE could choose to have him inadvertently cost Punk the match or purposely do so. Either way, this could be done to set up either Lesnar vs. Undertaker at Extreme Rules (unlikely because this would probably be saved for WrestleMania 30) or Punk vs. Lesnar at Extreme Rules (a little more likely if Punk isn't written off of TV).
Truth be told, there are countless scenarios involving Punk, Lesnar and Undertaker that could play out at Extreme Rules depending upon what happens at WrestleMania 29. It's up to the WWE creative team to find a logical way to make this work, which would be hard to do since neither Undertaker nor Punk appears to be in the Extreme Rules plans—at least wrestling-wise.
When you consider all of these factors, you have to wonder if the WWE will choose to go a different route and insert Lesnar into the WWE Championship picture at WrestleMania 29 instead.
According to WrestlingNewsWorld.com, one of the perks of Lesnar's new two-year contract with the WWE was a guaranteed World title reign, and if this is indeed true, then WrestleMania 29 could serve as the launching pad for Lesnar's rise to the World title scene.
Everyone has pegged Cena as the winner of his WWE Championship match with The Rock, but what about the possibility of Lesnar interfering and changing those plans? What if Lesnar costs Cena (the guy he faced at Extreme Rules last year), or what if he actually costs The Rock?
Ever since both The Rock and Lesnar came back to the WWE, it's been assumed by most that the former rivals would eventually wrestle each other again. In fact, there are even reports that these two will indeed clash on pay-per-view in the near future.
According to F4WOnline.com (via WrestlingInc.com), there is a strong possibility that we could see The Rock vs. Lesnar at either SummerSlam or WrestleMania 30 next year. At least one of those situations figures to play out—that is, unless the WWE has this match take place at Extreme Rules instead.
While it would be questionable for the WWE to have a match as huge as Lesnar vs. The Rock on a B-level pay-per-view, it certainly wouldn't be unprecedented. We saw a major match like this happen at Extreme Rules just last year when Lesnar shockingly returned after WrestleMania to take on Cena.
You've always heard to never say never in the wrestling business, so we shouldn't dismiss any of these match possibilities as just that: Possibilities.
If Punk is really going to miss Extreme Rules like many think he will, the WWE is going to need to do something big to make up for missing one of its top draws. It's already attempting to do that by reportedly bringing in both Lesnar and The Rock for the PPV, but it can take it even a step further.
If we get Lesnar vs. The Rock, Lesnar vs. Cena or a match of similar magnitude, then Extreme Rules could be well on its way to being one of the most successful B-level PPVs in recent memory.
Either way, though, it looks like Lesnar is going to Extreme Rules, and if he's going to be at the pay-per-view, he's going to wrestle on it. Just whom he wrestles at the PPV is the only question we have, but the possibilities really are endless.
Rock? Cena? Punk? Have your choice, but rest assured that Lesnar is going to be in a major match at next month's Extreme Rules PPV.

Despite tough times, or perhaps because of them, last night's Mashable 'State of the New York Blogosphere' event at the Tribeca 92StY was a packed affair. And as is wont to happen when you fill a room with social networking internty types, most of what happens finds its socially networked way on to the Internet in one form or another. Something that is particularly fortuitous for latecomers such as ourselves. See also here, here, and here.
Despite our tardiness we did manage to catch The Daily Beast's Bryan Keefer (we hear all the panelists were great, by the way) talk a bit about the question on all our minds these days: how do we get paid? In this clip (after the jump) he discusses the ways in which online advertisers need to change their approach (why can't online ads look like Super Bowl ads?!), which he says is something they are working on at the Daily Beast. But also! Why micropayments and packaged content won't work! "People are willing to pay for entertainment in a way they are not willing to pay for text," says Keefer. We shall see!

Here is a really nice (and usefull) kit to survive after a heartbreak. A good idea designed by Melanie Chernock from NYC.
Love Hurts was created based on an assignment to make an activity book. I thought it would be more interesting to make a sort of activity kit instead. From there, I came up with the concept of Love Hurts: A first aid kit for a broken heart. Initially, I knew that I did not want to make a kit of sadness and wanted to approach the product with a sense of humor. Love Hurts contains all of the essentials for going through a rough breakup such as dark chocolate, vodka, bubble bath soap, a candle with matches, candy hearts, a mix CD, and if all else fails, tissues. All of the products come neatly packaged in a compact kit. Unfortunately, the kit is not yet available to purchase. If anyone is interested in producing it, please get in touch!

"…those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again.
It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."
—Jesus, from John 4:14 (NLT)
Thank you for joining us for our first-ever Family Bible Week. And now that you've tasted this living water, don't stop! Here are just a few ways that you can continue to build on the many successes you've been sharing with us during Family Bible Week:
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105 (NASB)
Pick Your Next Plan.
Many families told us they really enjoyed reading a Bible Plan together. Bible Plans are a great way you can keep leading your family back to the well of God's Word again and again. Which one will you do next?
"Our daughters signed up for their own account at bible.com. All four of us love discussing what we're learning, even recommending Bible Plans to each other. We've been sharing verses and making comments. Jesus has really come alive to our girls in this way; they've both felt Him, especially when it comes time to pick a new one."
…"Write my answer plainly on tablets…. This vision is for a future time. It describes
the end, and it will be fulfilled. …wait patiently, for it will surely take place….
Habakkuk 2:2–3 (NLT)
Take Your Family Verse Further.
Did your family find a great theme verse during Family Bible Week? One that inspires you with vision? Have a family art project to write it out in huge letters on nice quality paper. Then place it prominently in your home, so you can remind yourselves every day what you value. You might even consider having your Family Verse framed!
Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family],
giving precedence and showing honor to one another.
Romans 8:12 (AMP)
Celebrate Each Other.
On Mother's Day, we suggested you share a Bible verse to let all the moms in your life know how much they mean to you. But you can make every day "Family Day." Whether it's by posting a Verse Image to their Facebook page, or even just sending a text, encourage the people you love with inspiration from God's Word.
"Last week at the beach, I took a picture and searched for just the right Bible verse to make a Verse Image. On Mother's Day, I sent it to my mother – she was blown away! Even though we are thousands of miles apart, I will always remember my mother's love and compassion that enabled me to endure the obstacles throughout the course of my life."
My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don't neglect your mother's instruction.
What you learn from them will crown you with grace
and be a chain of honor around your neck.
Proverbs 1:8–9 (NLT)
Invest in Your Family's Spiritual Life.
On Thursday we listed seven tips that could help you lead your family spiritually. When you maintain consistent, healthy relationships with each member of your family (that is, genuine, safe, and fun), those things will happen naturally. If you regularly think about your faith, and you regularly visit with your spouse and children, faith will be a regular part of those conversations.
"On the way to school, instead of the typical middle school chatter, we have our daughter read aloud the Verse of the Day and then explain in her own words what she thinks it means. It's become a highlight and my own day feels "off" if we ever miss for some reason. I've noticed she reads these even on the weekends! It's an excellent way to get something started with your family."
…commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine….
Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home
and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed
and when you are getting up….
Deuteronomy 18:11-20 (NLT)
Enjoy Family Story Time… Every Day.
In partnership with OneHope, we designed the Bible App for Kids to give your kids (and grandkids) a delight-filled Bible experience all their own. And, although it already features more than 30 stories, many more are still to come. Enjoy new stories with your kids, and revisit their favorites again and again.
"The Bible for Kids is a smashing success with our foster children, ages 2 & 3. It was the number one activity that they asked for – "Can we do Bible?"
Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God….
for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ….
God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished….
Philippians 1:3–6 (NLT)
Keep Sharing Your Stories!
Your commitment to living out the love of Jesus in your families this week has been inspiring. We've loved receiving your stories, and we're looking forward to sharing many of them to inspire other families. So please keep them coming!
