Soldiers are reported to have taken over the headquarters of Zimbabwe's national broadcaster, ZBC, amid a growing political crisis.
Explosions have also been reported in the capital, Harare, but the cause is unclear.
Earlier, the country's ambassador in South Africa denied talk of a coup.
Zimbabwe's ruling party has accused the country's army chief of "treasonable conduct" after he warned of a possible military intervention.
General Constantino Chiwenga had challenged President Robert Mugabe after he sacked the vice-president.
Gen Chiwenga said the army was prepared to act to end purges within Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.
Tensions were raised further on Tuesday when armoured vehicles were seen taking up positions on roads outside Harare, although their purpose was unclear.
Some staff at ZBC were manhandled when soldiers took over their offices in Harare late on Tuesday evening, sources told Reuters.
Workers were told that they "should not worry", a source added, and that soldiers were only there to protect the site.
Soon afterwards, witnesses reported three loud explosions in the city centre, although the exact location is unclear.
The US State Department said it was "closely monitoring" the situation in Zimbabwe and urged all parties to resolve disputes "calmly and peacefully".
The US embassy in Harare tweeted that it would be closed on Wednesday "due to ongoing uncertainty".
It also advised US citizens in Zimbabwe to "shelter in place" until further notice.
There has been no word so far from 93-year-old President Mugabe or his representatives.
The Zimbabwean ambassador to South Africa, Isaac Moyo, had told Reuters that the government was "intact" and dismissed any talk of a possible coup as "just social media claims".
Mr Mugabe sacked Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa last week, amid a row over succession.
Mr Mnangagwa had previously been seen as an heir to the president, but First Lady Grace Mugabe is now the clear front-runner.
The rivalry between Mrs Mugabe and Mr Mnangagwa has split Zanu-PF.
Last month, Mrs Mugabe warned of a possible coup plot, saying allies of Mr Mnangagwa were threatening the lives of those who didn't support him.
The Zanu-PF party said Gen Chiwenga's comments were "calculated to disturb national peace… [and] incite insurrection".
The party said it would never succumb to military threats, and that it "reaffirms the primacy of politics over the gun".
The leader of Zanu-PF's youth wing, Kudzai Chipanga, said the general did not have the full support of the entire military.
"It is our country and future at stake and we will not let any individual military man interfere with the leader of the party and legitimately voted president of this country," he told reporters on Tuesday.
The youth wing is a strong supporter of Grace Mugabe.
Gen Chiwenga's warning of possible military intervention came on Monday at a news conference at army headquarters where he was surrounded by senior army officers.
He said the "purging" within Zanu-PF was "clearly targeting members of the party with a liberation background", referring to the country's struggle for independence.
"We must remind those behind the current treacherous shenanigans that when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in," he said.
Mr Mnangagwa is one such veteran of the 1970s war which led to independence.

Getting crafty: Crafting gains popularity in Pittsburgh, on campus
December 1, 2016
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
In a brightly lit room at the William Pitt Union, the Pitterest crafting club gathers on a Thursday night at round dining tables covered with yarn, ribbon and other supplies.
Abby Sites, an anthropology major and vice president of Pitterest, has seen the club grow in the past year and a half from about 15 to the 100 members registered this semester.
"It's a relaxing club at the end of the week," Sites said. "That's why we have it on Thursday nights, so it's a wind down after a stressful week … We just want people to have fun."
With the increasing popularity of crafting groups like Pitterest, Pittsburgh's artsy streak has continued this fall with new groups and projects leading up to this weekend's Handmade Arcade, Pittsburgh's largest independent craft fair, in the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Last year's event housed 160 vendors and 8,500 attendees.
In the past decade, there has been an increase in hands-on art shops alongside the city's many art galleries. Some include new pop-up workshops that feature themed projects for participants, while others — such as Fireborn Pottery Studios and Pittsburgh Glass Center — have been in surrounding neighborhoods for years.
The rise of Pittsburgh's crafting culture coincides with a national upswing of interest in artsy products and planned events for people to develop and experiment with their crafts. This includes adult coloring books, planned private painting events like Painting with a Twist and the popularity of the social media platform Pinterest, where users often share images of crafts and instructions for how to recreate them.
In keeping with students' need for a creative outlet, Pitt launched its own Center for Creativity this fall, located in the basement of the University Store.
The center, a product of last year's Year of the Humanities, is a space for working on projects ranging from coloring, painting and sculpting, to music production and writing on a vintage typewriter — and all the necessary supplies are provided.
The space, with tables covered in crayons and colorful shelves filled with yarn and glue, looks almost like a daycare, only it's for young adults.
And maybe that's the point. In recent years, the line between art and craft has blurred, as people just looking for artistic ways to relax meet serious crafters, who produce works of art designed from craft materials. Pittsburgh itself has joined the two separate genres — "serious art" with arts and crafts — with installations such as the 2013 "Knit the Bridge" display, when crafters covered Andy Warhol Bridge in knit patterns.
"I think that craft is an art," said Cammie Brady, a local crafter. "Like any kind of art, it's totally subjective. I know some people are really critical of the crafty side versus fine art. I think whatever makes you feel like you are artistically satisfied."
Brady works at the nonprofit Center for Creative Reuse, located on North Lexington Street in Point Breeze just off the 71C bus route from Oakland, where visitors can, for a small fee, use donated art supplies and home objects to repurpose for craft projects.
Now in her fifth year at the center, Brady said working at the center allows guests to discover old belongings and make them into something new, much like a hands-on flea market.
"You'll get a box and piece together someone's whole life," Brady said.
The Center for Creative Reuse features monthly workshops such as "Creative Conundrum" to promote creative expression and make use of hard-to-use materials, such as bubble wrap, cardboard boxes and VHS tapes.
One of Brady's coworker's, Althea Denlinger, just completed her first summer with the nonprofit.
"I think everything in the store can be used to make crafts or fine art," Denlinger said. "The line is where you decide to draw it."
Alongside the popularity of the Center for Creative Reuse's programs, new startups keep joining Pittsburgh's craft scene. The newest, Steel City Fiber Collective, is located on Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside. Founded by four women — Anna Sylvester, Becca Kreiger, Cheryl Koester and Nora Swisher — the shop made its debut this past June.
Steel City Fiber Collective sells finished projects from students and other locals, along with teaching classes. It specializes in knitting and weaving, teaching customers and providing an open space to work on personal projects.
Nora Swisher, one of the founders, is a grad student studying physics at Carnegie Mellon University. Due to the proliferation of various kinds of fiber arts shops in Pittsburgh, from yarn to fabric, she said she's not sure if Steel City Fiber would be successful elsewhere.
"I don't know if we would be successful in another place," Swisher said. "There's already a lot of fiber arts and crafts in Pittsburgh."
Shops like Steel City Fiber prepare for festivals where artists and crafters can come together to present their work. CRAFTED 2016 took place on Nov. 4, at the Society for Contemporary Craft in the Strip District.
Residents and students can learn these skills that vendors promote through pop-up workshops like the one done by Pop Craft, founded by Mount Washington resident Monica Yope in 2008. The "maker workshops" are housed in local bars and restaurants, and participants walk away with their art that evening. There are two featured holiday pop-up workshops on Nov. 28, and Dec. 4, using reclaimed wood to create tree decorations. For $42, all supplies are included, as well as food and drinks.
Crafting culture is just as big on campus, where there are several student groups that have taken the initiative to focus on art and crafts, including Pitt Knits and Pitterest. Started through Student Affairs, Pitterest is headed by Monica Morrison, a student in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Focused on DIY projects and themed activities, the club's mission is to promote a stress-free outlet for students.
Catherine Meissner, a nursing student, serves as the creative director by organizing project ideas and purchasing materials.
Recent projects have included dream catchers, wall hangings and corkboards. Next meeting, the group looks to make ornaments for the holiday season.
"We buy all the materials, they come and we try to make [the project] in about an hour, and as low stress as possible," Meissner said.
From Pitt organizations to off-campus resources, each of Pittsburgh's crafting centers aims to adapt the local art scene to residents.
"We try to be as involved with the community as we can, because that's obviously a part of our mission," Brady said.

setApplicationNameForUserAgent:—sets the application name used in the user-agent string.
Note that some websites use the user-agent string to determine whether they support a client browser or not. If they don't, they may send dumbed-down versions of pages or deny access to the website too. In that case, you can modify the user-agent string to pretend to be a popular browser and then access the website. Although, this may not work if the website expects your application to implement browser-specific extensions. For this reason, you should only consider spoofing as a last resort.

OTTAWA — Opposition parties say they deserve a seat at the table as the Liberals put together a watchdog committee on national security and intelligence.
The Conservatives say the government is politicizing a process that the New Democrats say requires a transparent and independent approach.
While the opposition parties say they are united in their belief that all parties must work together on the establishment of the committee, they sent individual letters this week to the prime minister and public safety minister.
In a letter Tuesday, Conservative public safety critic Erin O'Toole said Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale should know from his consultations in the United Kingdom the importance of ensuring the committee's work is entirely non-partisan.
"The appointment of a chair before the committee is structured and your public pronouncements on the committee without any all-party discussion suggests to both official opposition parties that the government intends to foist upon Parliament a committee that is immediately politicized because of a lack of collaboration and information-sharing," O'Toole said in his letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press.
The Conservatives presented 18 ideas for the mandate, structure and duties of the committee, including a requirement that it publish an annual report and that all its members should have had some exposure to security, intelligence or defence issues.
Both parties single out NDP MP and lawyer Murray Rankin as someone who should play a major role in forming the body. Before being elected in 2012, Rankin served as legal counsel for the Security and Intelligence Review Committee, the independent body that oversees Canada's spy agency.
In his letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, dated Monday, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair urged the Liberals to consider convening an all-party meeting to discuss the committee's work.
The committee itself is essential to build trust in the governance of security agencies while strengthening their accountability to Parliament, Mulcair wrote.
"We are sure that you will agree that it is essential that this process is above reproach in terms of transparency and independence," Mulcair wrote in his letter, a copy of which was also obtained by The Canadian Press.
Formation of the committee was a Liberal campaign promise that followed the passage of a Conservative law extending the powers of spy and security agencies.
The committee would operate outside the normal House of Commons committee structure, given the sensitivity of the material before it.
That's why, the Liberals say, the decision to appoint Liberal David McGuinty as its chair does not break a Liberal campaign commitment that committees will elect their own chairpersons.
That's also why legislation will be needed to create it and set out its mandate, said Scott Bardsley, a spokesperson for the public safety minister.
"Minister Goodale committed to introducing legislation and through the parliamentary process there will be ample opportunities for other parties to feed in," he said.
The legislation is expected later this year.

Petitions to watch | Conference of October 18
At its October 18, 2013 Conference, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as the standing of an objecting class member to challenge a class-certification order, determining qualified immunity based on law at the time of the alleged wrong, and the penalty for non-production of documents overseas.
This edition of "Petitions to watch" features petitions raising issues that Tom has determined to have a reasonable chance of being granted, although we post them here without consideration of whether they present appropriate vehicles in which to decide those issues. Our policy is to include and disclose all cases in which Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, represents either a party or an amicus in the case, with the exception of the rare cases in which Goldstein & Russell represents the respondent(s) but does not appear on the briefs in the case.
Issue(s): (1) Whether the Second Circuit erred when, in conflict with decisions of this Court and other circuits and in disregard of international comity and due process, it failed to vacate severe sanctions for non-production of records located in countries where production would subject the Bank to criminal penalties, hobbling the Bank's defense; and (2) whether the courts below erred by failing to dismiss plaintiffs' Alien Tort Statute claims, as the Second Circuit's and this Court's decisions in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum require. CVSG: 10/21/2013.
Issue(s): (1) Whether the Sixth Circuit wrongly denied qualified immunity to the petitioners by analyzing whether the force used in 2004 was distinguishable from factually similar force ruled permissible three years later in Scott v. Harris. Stated otherwise, the question presented is whether, for qualified immunity purposes, the Sixth Circuit erred in analyzing whether the force was supported by subsequent case decisions as opposed to prohibited by clearly established law at the time the force was used; and (2) whether the Sixth Circuit erred in denying qualified immunity by finding the use of force was not reasonable as a matter of law when, under the respondent's own facts, the suspect led police officers on a high-speed pursuit that began in Arkansas and ended in Tennessee, the suspect weaved through traffic on an interstate at a high rate of speed and made contact with the police vehicles twice, and the suspect used his vehicle in a final attempt to escape after he was surrounded by police officers, nearly hitting at least one police officer in the process.
Issue(s): Whether an objecting class member – whose antitrust claims have been waived by a settlement negotiated by class counsel appointed by a racially conscious class-certification order – has standing to challenge the class-certification order and, through it, the antitrust settlement.
Issue(s): Whether, or in what circumstances, a cy pres remedy that provides no direct relief to class members comports with the requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(e)(2) that a settlement that binds class members must be "fair, reasonable, and adequate."
Issue(s): (1) Whether the state forfeits an argument that Stone v. Powell bars habeas relief if the state fails to raise Stone in the district court, or whether Stone announced a categorical rule that Fourth Amendment claims are not cognizable on habeas review absent a showing that the state prisoner was denied a full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue in state court; (2) whether the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in relying on studies that were not part of the state court record, conflicts with this Court's decision in Cullen v. Pinholster, which held that habeas review is limited to the record that was before the state court; and (3) whether the decision of the Second Circuit affords the state court the deference required by 28 U.S.C § 2254(d), as interpreted by this Court in Harrington v. Richter.
Issue(s): Whether the Florida scheme for identifying mentally retarded defendants in capital cases violates Atkins v. Virginia.
Issue(s): (1) Whether a state-court order denying a request for relief on a constitutional claim "for lack of merit in the grounds presented" constitutes a merits adjudication of that claim for purposes of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA); and (2) whether a federal habeas court may, consistent with AEDPA, delve into the internal procedures of a state court to support its speculation that an order denying relief "for lack of merit" is not, in fact, a merits adjudication.
Issue(s): Whether, under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), state court adjudications are per se unreasonable and not entitled to deference under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(2) merely because the state court does not conduct an evidentiary hearing.
Issue(s): Whether consumers have standing to challenge the constitutionality of laws regulating the sale of firearms.
Issue(s): (1) Whether the "hot pursuit" doctrine articulated in United States v. Santana applies where police officers seek to arrest a fleeing suspect for a misdemeanor; and (2) whether a police officer is entitled to qualified immunity where he pursued a suspect fleeing the officer's attempt to arrest him for a jailable misdemeanor committed in the officer's presence, into the front yard of a residence through a gate used to access the front door, and the officer had reason to believe the suspect might have been just involved in a fight involving weapons.

This is Marc Faber's Emerging Markets Strategy
About six months ago, we had recommended accumulating Chinese stocks. I think we had a big move in Chinese stocks though we are in a correction period now. Relatively speaking, emerging market stocks look okay. What is inexpensive at this point of time are Russian stocks and assets, precious metals, and mining stocks. I have mentioned in my previous interviews that if you put a gun on my head and say you have to invest for the next 10 years, I would invest in emerging economies rather than in the US. I think emerging markets are much better valued post the currency depreciation.
Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world.Dr. Doom also trades currencies and commodity futures like Gold and Oil.

The UnFair Advantage Book
Winning the Search Engine Wars
Chapter Two -
The Relative Importance of Ranking Components
In Chapter One you learned the importance of keywords to top ranking pages in the early days of search engines. And today, keywords are still an essential component — but they are no longer the only essential component.
Today's search engines (think Google) factor in so many other components into the algorithms that keywords found on a website are treated as on-page relevance indicators that are subordinated to a slew of off-site relevance indicators. The thinking is that:
off-site relevance factors
are difficult-to-impossible for a website owner to manipulate.
Picture the search engine algorithm as a mechanism with internal relevance dials. Each dial controls a component of the overall mechanism, aka, the algorithm.
One dial controls the maximum importance placed on keywords found on a web page. Another dial controls the maximum importance placed on keywords found in links pointing to a web page (aka, anchor text). Another dial controls the maximum importance placed on the trust and authority of the sites that link to a web page. Another dial might control the maximum importance of having the keyword in the domain name. Now, as you will see later, this is a major oversimplification of Google's actual algorithm. It does include these factors but there are many more that are entered into the actual mix. But for example purposes, let's continue to see how this might work.
Since Google knows that anybody can put an unlimited number of keywords into any web page that they control, then keywords found on a web page might be dialed up to only two maximum on a ten-point relevance dial. They are given weight but not so much that people can stuff a bunch of keywords into their web page and score a top listing. In fact, Google may even penalize a page if their algorithm detects an artificial abundance of keywords or a disconnected relationship between the keywords and the rest of the page's body content. So, keywords on a web page, if detected within a 'normal' range might only be weighted as high as a two, at best, on the ten-point relevance dial. In other words, no mater how efficient you are at placing keywords on your page in optimized format, that element carries only limited weight in relationship to other factors that make up the overall ranking algorithm. And, if Google detects an abnormality (like proportionately too many repeating keywords), that same dial might assign a negative number such as -3 on the ten-point relevance dial. This would have an adverse effect on the page's ranking ability. In search engine optimization (SEO) jargon, we call this a penalty.
Dial two, off-site anchor text — aka, the keywords used in links pointing to a web page — is theoretically harder to manipulate. After all, if you don't have control of the external website then how could you actually control the links that are pointing at your web page? Of course, it could be done by arrangement, secret or not. But assuming that the link is "natural" (meaning it was done solely on the volition of the linking website and without any payment, arrangement or enticement), then Google views that link with a higher degree of trust. So, the relevance dial is set to a higher maximum level, maybe a six on the ten-point dial. Now, if Google learns that your anchor text link(s) are contrived — i.e., purchased, negotiated, exchanged, or "unnatural" in any way — then you're in violation of their "best practices and guidelines." And, if so, then you can expect that dial to work against you in a big way. Maybe a -6 on the ten-point dial.
Dial three; Google loves trust and authority. There are certain websites on the Internet that are viewed as trustworthy. In essence, these sites are basically whitelisted. They can do no wrong. They have an impeccible reputation. One such site is Wikipedia. Google knows that Wikipedia does not spam Google. Nor does Wikipedia assist others in spamming Google. They diligently patrol their own site with an eye toward eradicating manipulative content and links. Therefore, Google sees Wikipedia as both trustworthy AND authoritative. If your site has a link from Wikipedia, that's a great link. Why? ...because Google's trust and authority dial is likely to be maximized at around 9 or even 10 on the ten-point relevance dial. Google views a link from Wikipedia as highly trustworthy (because they are hard to get and keep) and from an authoritative site because Wikipedia is a brand-name known for it's content integrity. It's a whitelisted site which Google thinks can do no wrong in regards to search engine relevance factoring.
More examples of highly authoritative and trusted sites are mainstream news sites (CNN.com, NYTimes.com, NationalGeographic.com, etc.) and big name brands (Geico, Nike, Yelp, Budweiser, Amazon, Coke, etc.). To a lesser degree, sites that are linked-to by whitelisted sites that then link to you would be viewed as trusted and authoritative by association even though the dial might only be set to 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the ten-point relevance scale based upon the slightly subordinate standing to the ultra-trusted big name sites. And, obviously, Google dials this up because they consider these kinds of links to be difficult-to-impossible to manipulate.
A while back ago Google updated their patent on this topic to include the concept that authoritative sites are industry specific. That means that if you're in the children's clothing industry then the best sites to be associated with are vastly different than if you're in the restaurant industry. However, to get even more defined if you're in the restaurant industry in Dallas your trusted sites will be different than if you're in the restaurant industry in Chicago.
Dial four, keywords in your domain name, might be set to 2 or 3 on the ten-point relevance dial. And, this dial could also be influenced by the "importance" placed on the keyword itself. For example, if the keyword in the domain name is purses, a generic term that is synonymous with women's handbags, then the dial might only register a 2 or 3 in a search for handbags or purses. It sure won't hurt your ranking efforts but it may not really help them either. However if the well known keyword (actually brand name) GEICO is in the domain name, then the dial might be set to 9 for the keyword geico or the synonymous search term car insurance. So, in this way, you can see that the search engine algorithm actually has dials within dials depending on extenuating variables. In general keywords in your domain are not something to get too worried about and not something to go through the trouble to change domains for!
Now remember, this is a major oversimplification of Google's actual algorithm. But regardless, you can see that it's complicated even in our simplistic example. Google says their formula is set to provide a "good user experience" which is indeed partially true (nice spin anyway). But as you will later see, their algorithm is primarily set to reward brands and sites with the right social signals all the while dissuading search engine marketers (SEMs) from trying to manipulate Google's search rankings.
Good website vs. Less-Good website - Design Elements that Affect Rankings
Google likes to promote the impression that if you build a "good" website, everything will be wonderful. Google will rank you high and people will visit and give you the money you deserve. However, you must always remember that Google's concept of a "good" website is constantly evolving.
For instance, whatever the focus of your website, you probably believe you provide the best product, or service, or facility as presented by your very "good" website. But these days, if your site's web pages aren't responsive (yeah, what's that?) and your web page load speed is "slow" (yeah, how slow is slow?), and your site isn't HTTPs (secure) and instead is HTTP, or some "untrustworthy" or "irrelevant" site has linked to you (which you may not even know about), or you've exchanged links with an 'off topic' website as a favor to a relative or friend (like a Real Estate Agent or your Webmaster), then Google may very well think your website is less "good" than those that outrank you. This is especially true if you're competing for top rankings against a nationally known name-brand or "trusted" governmental website.
Another example of Google-defined "bad" website behavior is the failure to handle both Mobile and Desktop PC users in THE way that Google "suggests" that you should. Regardless of your intent, if you get any part of the recommended format wrong, you'll be penalized in the rankings. So, yes, content is important (as Google constantly reminds us) but so is format and function (aka user experience).
The point is that there are a plethora of factors and design elements that were never before weighted enough or even factored into the algorithm that are indeed factored in today. And, collectively they often become the difference between a top ranking position on the search engine results page (SERP) and a hardly-found listing on the third, fifth, or hundredth page of the search engine results.
So, even if YOU think your website is good, remember that to rank well in the search engines, it has to be good according to Google. So that's where today's SEO/SEM strategies begin and the rest of this book will focus on creating web pages that are Good According To Google (GATG).

Autumn ... Colorful leaves falling from trees... Thermometers are also showing less and less dashes... Soon the blanket of snow will cover everything...
but that will come soon but not just yet. For now, we can still enjoy the enormity of color that gives us the so-called golden Polish autumn! :)
Falling leaves create a rustling blanket on the sidewalka, but ther's a lot of leaves still left on the trees.

In the forest land is also covered with leaves, but green color still reigns on the trees around.
There are not much leaves on roads but there're pretty much of them by the sidewalks.

What is The Bike Exchange?
Our operation is 100% reliant on donations* of bicycles. We will accept donations of any bike in any condition as well as bike parts, and bike accessories! Donations can be made during normal shop hours.
Bike donations qualify as charitable tax deductions. If you bring your donated bike to the shop, one of our volunteers can provide you with a donation receipt.
*Donations raise funds to support the Boys & Girls Club of Plainfield ❤
We offer bike repairs on a limited basis, at the discretion of our volunteer mechanics. There are several other bike shops in the area that offer repair services as well, and we can direct you to them if needed.
We sell reasonably priced bicycles, parts, and accessories donated by community members and organizations. Necessary repairs are then completed by our volunteers. Once a bike is repaired, it is priced and placed on the sale rack. The prices of the bikes are dependent on the original value and current condition of the bike.
Note: All bikes are sold "as is." They have been repaired by our volunteer staff, and are in good working condition. We recommend that customers spend ample time testing our bikes out in the parking lot to ensure proper fit and comfort. If you discover a pre-existing problem with your bike after you purchased it, you may return to the shop within 30 days of purchase to have the bike repaired or returned.
We regularly host fun and educational community events and offer many volunteer opportunities.
Volunteers welcome!
Volunteers form the backbone of our organization. There are no paid positions at the Bike Exchange; we are 100% volunteer-based. Volunteers assist with management, day-to-day operations and tasks around the shop.
Volunteer Tasks
We are frequently asked if experience with bicycle maintenance is necessary in order to volunteer at the Bike Exchange. This is absolutely not the case! We have tasks for anyone and everyone who is willing to lend their time to help with our cause. Working at the shop is also a great way to pick up some basic bicycle maintenance skills.
We also rely on volunteers with bicycle mechanic skills and experience to work through our stockpile of donated bikes and make them road-ready. Mechanics – your skills are much needed and appreciated!
The Bike Exchange needs volunteers for:
- Fixing donated bicycles
- Cleaning and polishing bicycles that are ready to be sold
- Disassembling broken bikes to retrieve usable parts (this requires no previous experience, and is a great way to learn about how bikes work!)
- Sorting and organizing bike parts
- Helping customers in selecting a bike
We also value volunteers who perform outreach and partnership building, planning bike drives and events, and other tasks!

Do you hear those footsteps Matt? I'm coming for you! Matt is 57-47 for a winning percentage of 54.8% after going 6-8 last week. I went 8-6 pushing my record to 54-50 for a 51.9% percentage and am now only 3 games back.
I really can't explain the sudden turn I've made towards becoming the worst predictor of game outcomes in history. But, I surprisingly still have the lead so it's time to turn things around. Let's do it…
Dolphins @ Bengals
Scott: Dolphins
The Bengals haven't looked good in weeks and I like the Dolphins attack.
Matt: Dolphins
The Dolphins lost a nail-biter last week in Pittsburgh on a blown call (in my opinion). Loses like that can be very deflating for a team. Cincinnati played decent against Atlanta, but again failed to get the job done. I think that Miami will be feeling a sense of urgency, considering the Pats and Jets are looking to run away from the rest of the division.
Jaguars @ Cowboys
Scott: Cowboys
This is a must win for the Cowboys and I don't think Todd Bouman will solve the Jaguars' problems.
Matt: Cowboys
I have no faith in Jon Kitna's ability to lead the Cowboys to victory. But, luckily for those in Dallas, I have less faith in the aforementioned Todd Bouman.
Redskins @ Lions
Scott: Lions
I am a huge fan of the Lions offense and their defense is actually very underrated.
Matt: Redskins
Matthew Stafford is back, but how much can we expect for him after being sidelined for so long? The Redskins passing defense will get gashed by Megatron, but McNabb will find a way to squeak out of Detroit with a win.
Bills @ Chiefs
Scott: Chiefs
The Bills surprised the hell out of me last week. The Chiefs have surprised the hell out of me all season. I am going with the more consistent surprise.
Matt: Chiefs
Andrew Luck and Stanford are off this week, so the Bills will have a bit of extra time to focus on the Chiefs this weekend. Nonetheless, the Chiefs rushing duo of Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles is too much for the lowly Bills' defense to handle.
Panthers @ Rams
Scott: Rams
Matt Moore looked good last week for the Panthers but I still have a "team crush" on the Rams.
Matt: Panthers
Jonathan Stewart finally gets a start and has an opportunity to do at least something to help out my fantasy team. I have a feeling that Stewart is going to bust out in a big way, and Steve Smith re-acclimation into the offense will help Mr. Moore out.
Packers @ Jets
Scott: Jets
The Jets are fresh off a bye week and the Packers are a traveling infirmary.
Matt: Packers
Aaron Rodgers rises to the occasion and leads the Pack to victory, even with all of the injuries that they are dealing with.
Broncos @ 49ers
Scott: Broncos
The Niners have screwed me all season long and I expect the Broncos to recover from their embarrassing loss last week to the Raiders.
Matt: 49ers
Sticking with the Singletaries. They are too talented to keep losing all of these games.
Titans @ Chargers
Scott: Titans
Norv Turner loves to look for new ways to lose. That was evident last week against the Patriots. The Chargers are the most undisciplined team in the league.
Matt: Titans
It's looking like Vince Young will be coming back this week, and I'm not so sure that is a good thing for this Tennessee team. The Chargers lost last week because of stupid turnovers. I can't start picking them until they show me they can limit those bonehead moves.
Bucs @ Cardinals
Scott: Bucs
I like the Josh Freeman to Mike Williams connection. Plus the Cardinals are desperate for Kurt Warner to pull a Favre and come back. It won't happen as Warner is a man of his word unlike the aforementioned diva.
Matt: Cardinals
Look for Beanie Wells to break out in a big way this week after officially being named the starting running back.
Vikings @ Patriots
Scott: Patriots
This game was suppose to be about Moss's return to New England. Instead Favre saw that he wasn't getting any attention and he made it all about him. If Tavaris Jackson starts, the Vikings win. But he won't because it's all about Favre and he will lead his team to the loss column yet again.
Matt: Patriots
Favre is apparently dead set on playing when he is about 5 feet from the grave. I'm looking forward to seeing Favre get lit up and then getting a glimpse at Tavaris Jackson. There is no stopping AP, but you better believe that the focus at practice this whole week has been about the Vikes bruising runner. The Mayo-Peterson battle is the real one to watch.
Seahawks @ Raiders
Scott: Raiders
Welcome to the League Darren McFadden! Your arrival took a little longer than anticipated but you showed why the Raiders made you a top draft pick in a huge way in last weeks game. I expect more of the same from him against a weak Seattle defense.
Matt: Seahawks
The Seahawks played pretty well against the Cardinals last week, limiting Arizona's running game for the entire day. It would be very "Raider-like" for the black and silver to follow up a huge win with the terrible loss.
Steelers @ Saints
Scott: Steelers
The Saints are not the same team we thought they were. We won't be crowning them this year.
Matt: Steelers
The Saints have been playing terribly against one of the softer schedules in the entire league. Every week it seems that Big Ben gets a bit more comfortable and knocks some more rust off. Look for Pittsburgh's defense too harass Drew Brees all day, and without much of a running game to speak of, the Saints' hopes are looking slim.
Texans @ Colts
Scott: Colts
Peyton Manning won't allow his team to lose to the same opponent from his division twice in the same season.
Matt: Texans
Yup, I'm calling for the Houston sweep. With both Collie, Garcon, and Clark out for this game, Peyton's targets are limited. Granted, Houston has the worst passing defense in the league, so I'm expecting a shootout. But, I'm taking Andre Johnson and Arian Foster over Joseph Addai and Reggie Wayne.

Animal based fats are essential for dogs. They need fat for energy, to absorb fat soluble vitamins (vitamins E, A and D), protect the nerve fibers in the body and to protect the body from cold. Fat is also the ingredient found in food that makes it tasty for dogs.
Fat also contains essential fatty acids, such as omega 6 and omega 3. These help with healthy skin and coat. Dog's deficient in these fats (most often omega 3) may show skin problems, seborrhea, dermatitis and poor hair coat. It is always important to add EPA fish oil capsules to any dog's diet.
Some health conditions may call for changes in the diet for your dog. While there are many commercial prescription diets for some health conditions, you can prepare fresh food diets at home. A fresh food diet can provide a variety of foods that can be helpful in insuring the best nutrition and help keep the fussiest dog's appetite up so he will continue eating.

Talk:Diskless system
I won't add this directly to the article, since Buhman feels so strongly about it, but I'd like to point out that the NVSv4 task on the bug tracker has been re-opened, and it looks like this method for booting NFSv4 may not cover all the bases. Since you have this setup, maybe you could help with testing, Buhman? Giddie (talk) 15:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- "has been re-opened"; this was your doing. falconindy is partially non-correct here. sunrpc.ko is a dependency of nfsv4.ko http://sprunge.us/fbTj is what's generated with the mkinitcpio.conf in this article. --Buhman (talk) 15:20, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I requested it be reopened in the hope that this feature can finally be implemented and supported. I reported the bug in the first place (10 months ago), too. Rather than replying here, could you maybe get involved in the bug, so that the maintainer can actually see what you have to say. Since you're testing this setup, you really need to be talking with falconindy. Giddie (talk) 15:52, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- "Supported" means maintained by the Arch Linux developers and TUs. It provides certain guarantees of testing and compatibility as the distro moves forward. I trust the Arch Linux developers to do adequate testing and to respond pretty quickly to any bugs that might arise is official packages. I don't think you can offer the same service. Apart from that, if your approach is correct, it simply makes sense that it makes its way upstream, so that future users don't have to make the same manual alterations. Giddie (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
If DNSmasq is not appropriate for the job, please write a section explaining why this is the case. Since I use dnsmasq, I'd be interested to know why exactly you think it's not appropriate. What definitely is not appropriate, however, is undoing my edits, for which I've gone to pains to explain my reasoning. Giddie (talk) 10:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- No, we don't write sections explaining why sections don't exist. That's just plain stupid. --Buhman (talk) 10:42, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- We write sections explaining why an obvious choice is actually not a good idea, so others can be informed and avoid the same mistake. (Assuming they agree that it is actually a mistake.) Seriously: this wiki is not here to reflect only your own opinions; it's here so that we can all share our knowledge. It's all about collaboration and compromise, and I'm seeing very little of that from you right now. Giddie (talk) 11:34, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- dnsmasq is a problem because it's a little unwieldy primarily due to its crazy amount of scope-creep. What was originally just a dns server got way out of hand. If you say things like listen-address=192.168.0.1, that is only applicable for the DNS part, and not, e.g: DHCP. This becomes problematic if say you want your hostapd stuff that also runs isc-dhcp just on wlan0, and then decide you want to PXE boot some stuff off the wired-lan really quick. Nope; have to shut down dhcpd4 to allow dnsmasq to hog all the interfaces and bind wildcard on everything BUT dns. But oh wait, you said port=0? That controls what, just DNS? So DNS is disabled now, and listen-address in this case does absolutely nothing, as well as listen-interface.
- It's just a dirty ugly quick "omfg I want dhcp+tftp NAOW" hack, rather than something that should be considered sane to actually systemctl enable. Lots of features, really crappy defaults, and, most importantly, no way to un-configure those defaults (aside from making a fork that would just end up being a less-good isc bind/tftp/dhcp). And compared to bind it's a lousy DNS server anyway. So why it even exists I don't know.
Per-host mountpoints (was: Separate /var)
I feel like treating just
/var specially isn't fair. I mean, how would
/etc feel? In all seriousness, I think this needs to be reorganized into something like "per-host special mountpoints". --Buhman (talk) 15:30, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- That sounds fine to me, if you want to do that. I'm pretty sure that
/varcontains everything that makes a host unique (or that's the intention), and I'm keen for people to think about it, since it's an added complication that can easily be overlooked when planning the cluster. Giddie (talk) 15:39, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- As I tried to imply somewhat, I still don't think its a good idea to do *all* of var, maybe a few application-specific subdirectories. For example it's actually desirable in a non-diskless scenario like this to put /var/cache/pacman on a NFS share--effectively working like a local repository mirror. Only in this scenario, we get that for free :D --Buhman (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, in my setup I share
/var/lib/pacmanbetween all clients, and
/var/cache/pacmanbetween all clients and the host. Some other directories in
/var/cachecould probably be safely shared, but my general stance is to opt-in to sharing certain directories in
/varfor convenience (or storage space), rather than to determine which directories can't safely be shared. I have no problem with providing suggestions for both points of view ("share all of /var except for certain dirs" vs "/var is node-specific except for certain dirs"); it's helpful for readers to have a chance to consider both views and decide what fits their usecase best. Giddie (talk) 09:57, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, in my setup I share
how to organize
Heh, we go back to 3+ articles again? :P We're actually agreeing here I think, but I would say "sub-articles" rather than dedicated articles--Buhman (talk) 10:22, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- Well, sub-articles does imply that the tasks are basically the same, which I don't think they are. I think they are very different tasks with different purposes, but which happen to share some configuration. No harm in a page that explains which article deals with what, I suppose. I don't feel too strongly about this, really. This is just what makes sense to me. Giddie (talk) 10:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- What would be really cool is if the reading went something like: the user reads about each of the ways that this could be done, then selects what he wants to see (whatever combinations), and then gets a tailored-to-order article with just the stuff he's interested in. --Buhman (talk) 10:16, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think that will be possible on this MediaWiki setup without the kind of duplication we're keen to avoid. Probably best to split out the common stuff into separate articles, and link from an article for each usecase. Giddie (talk) 10:19, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- Here is another idea: Instead of one index page for just Network Installation Guide and PXE, we can add a index page about all of the different installation methods in Category:Getting and installing Arch. There are 49 articles in the category, so a good index page can make them stay organized. -- Fengchao (talk) 13:14, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Per-client hostnames
I've been meaning to ask; how exactly did you manage to make each client's hostname unique? --Buhman (talk) 18:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- In my cluster, hostnames are assigned along with IPs by the DHCP server, according to the MAC address. Giddie (talk) 18:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- The truth is there's no trick. The hostname gets set in early boot, and if there's no /etc/hostname, it doesn't seem to get changed. I was worried that would stop working with systemd, but it's still the case. (I have issues with /var, though. I might need to mount it in initcpio.) Giddie (talk) 23:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Bootstrapping installation
The mkarchroot command as listed doesn't work with current devtools: it errors "illegal option -- -". I assume it gets confused by the '--arch' option, because leaving that out allows it to continue. Isn't mkarchroot supposed to pass unrecognized options on to pacman? Ackalker (talk) 16:52, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

OCLF helped to get my business off of the ground.
Cleaning-up the Competition
Two years ago, Berhanu Desta decided to go into business for himself. The recession was making it difficult to find work and he wanted to take matters into his own hands. The result was Greencare Home & Office Cleaning, a business that combines his passion for environmentally friendly solutions with his experience in the cleaning industry.
Berhanu had an idea; did the research but needed financing. He approached the traditional banks but found them reluctant to lend to a first time business. What Berhanu likes about OCLF is the process. It didn't matter that his was a new idea. OCLF took the time to evaluate his plan and provide feedback. Thanks to OCLF's support, Berhanu is now in business and eager to give back to future entrepreneurs.

Archive for the 'Utah Jazz' Category
The Suns… I don't think they'll ever get to the Finals without an alien invasion taking place in America West Arena. Joe Johnson one year, Amare/Raja the next, then Amare/Diaw this year. David Stern, as great as he is, sometimes becomes so pragmatic and draconian to me. I bet he thinks the NBA offices are the Jedi temple and everything they believe in should be "the way".
You know what happened Dave? Anakin Skywalker turning into Darth Vader because of his hatred of the restraint of the elders. Steve Nash will turn evil because of you! It's come to making nerdy references dude.
That said, I believe they'll pull off the upset Wednesday (well, tonight… it's 2am of the day as I'm writing this… so…) Why? Because I'm crazy and Charles Barkley's passionate yammering against the rule have made the situation better to me. And that makes me have faith. When the Round Mound of 300 Pounds calls out the league, all's good in that world.
Love how Ernie used the town bell to break up the continuous, looping debate. It can't be said enough how great Inside the NBA is.
Oh and uh… the national darlings are done. I dunno man, I wish the Warriors wouldn't have gone out in that hot headed way (how many techs were there). But at the same time, it's that same emotion that fuels Oakland's surge—ripping the heart out of Dirk, literally. So it's a push and… well, I digress.
Doug Collins, as Stephen Jackson gives Jerry Sloan a hug: "I like that."
Man, I thought Golden State would never lose at home — that's the contract they signed wasn't it? Damn, I don't want to say the Warriors are done…… but…… the Warriors are done. Sorry my dear dear Bay Area pals (you know who you are) but the Jazz aren't Dallas Choke-vericks.
They've got Acne Boozer; Turtle D-Williams, Mr. Roboto #47 and Okur. The only other place you'd find that eclectic mix of culture and race in one place is during a drug deal (my frame of reference only extend to stereotypical blockbuster action films and not real life). Last night, if anything was another typical Jazz game. They kept doing their thing and got their win.
Warriors, of course, tried to keep doing their thing, just this time the shots weren't falling. If it did, I'm sure the series would've been 2-2 now. But alas, such is why a dream cannot be continued.
Andrei Kirilenko, please summarize your thoughts:
"People go all crazy," Kirilenko said. "You dunk on me, OK, next time I'm still going to try to block your shot again. "It's a different mentality. Guys try to put their ass in your face or say something. I'm not intimidated by that stuff."
Thank you wordsmith.
VC15, trapped in the closet (R.Kelly don't
rape sue me)
In other Playoffs news
Vincent Lamar Carter apparently had an ouchie with his vagina pinky finger in Game 3 against the Cavaliers:
Vince Carter's left pinkie knuckle, bruised in Game 3, was wrapped yesterday. But he said "It's not broken, so I can play."
Yeah? You can? GREAT. VC's little boo-boo notwithstanding, I think the LeBrons will take this game tonight. It's cool and all for Jason Kidd to remember he can shoot from the outside again, ditto for Jefferson getting his, but the sooner this series end, the better it will be on our souls.
In other OTHER Playoff news, the Phoenix Suns try not to fall into oblivion. What I'm saying is that if they lose tonight, and go down 3-1, it would make my NBA fandom very sad. Suns making it to the Finals this year means so much for me. It would mean that the NBA has room for all types of champion styles; it would mean that for once, I team I rooted for from beginning to end of season could go all the way; it would mean awesomeness. For all the great things D'Antoni, Nash, Marion, Stoudamire has given us, I feel it's for nothing and another year gone of Nash's greatness. Gawd, fucking Spurs.
Loose Change
He's fat. And a big baby.— Antoine Walker believes he can have his cake and eat 600 of them too!
Heat forward Antoine Walker — due $8.5 and $9.3 million the next two years — said he "definitely" plans to speak to Pat Riley about his desire to be a starter, if he's not traded. "I play better as a starter. For me to be an effective player in this system, there's a certain way you have to play. We've got to balance out this attack."
Riiiight. There are 5 things wrong in that last statement. But I be classy and not joke of them. Nope. I won't connect the obvious joke of the words "balance"; "Walker"; "can't"; and "fat". No sir, not here!
— And finally, a request to my Spanish readers, help me out: what's going on in this page, and specifically, shed light on Mr. Boniface N'Dong PLEASE. That is front runner for best name in the history of the world.
Hoooooot! What a game huh. I totally agree with Chuck on Inside the NBA when he said the Jazz are amazing to watch (or something like that…) even though most of the basketball world has now been infatuated with the Golden State Warriors' giant-killer charisma.
Here's why I'm loving how the U.J. plays: they run their plays so surgically precise it makes Dr. McDreamy look like a freakin retard — and he's one of the top neurosurgeons in the country (of a TV show… I know I know…)!! Awkwardly segueing from that, with sincere apologies for crassness— big ups to Derek Fisher's strong will and heart. Hearing about his daughter… I can only imagine how stressful it must've been on his mind. And great of him to let others know of his personal situation so that other families don't suffer.
So is it time to jump on the bandwagon? I say yes. Sure the one bandwagon I'm on currently is nice and comfy–that of the Dubs, but these Jazz are actually pretty fun to watch as well. AK47 and his mechanical movements (seriously, watching him dribble side to side was cracking me up, even robots emote more human characteristics) as well his S.W.A.T. Parties are a joy to witness. Boozer and his acne have such amazing lowpost moves. Memo and his wife, AND his 3pt shot already had me a long time ago, but it's worth repeating that the man is clutch. MEMO 4 MVP!
As for the WARRIARz! Man, that's just how the cookie crumbles eh. They had that game, but watching the game, you could tell the Jazz weren't letting it go, almost like the win was theirs in the first place. I'm loving how the crowd looks so uniform now, all wearing powder blue, very NCAA feel and it really brings up the atmosphere, even as I was watching it from TV.
I'm loving these Playoffs so far, and to quoth my pasty sharp shooter turned superhero analyst Steve Kerr:
Last thing, I swear. Let's give the NBA's rules committee its due because the rules changes from the past four or five years have dramatically improved the quality of the game. No more wrestling and holding. No more walking the ball up and isolating players on one side of the floor. No more 7-foot stiffs who can't play but who can clog the lane. The game is great right now, and the league deserves a lot of credit for that.
Here here. I would say next on the list is making the crowds turn into European-like crazies. I mean, GState is halfway there, but I want to see giant flags and a theme song that the crowd can break out any moment! Who's with me??
May 5th: Houston Rockets got edged out by Utah Jazz in the 1st Round of the 2007 Playoffs. It is also T-Mac's millionth early exit… making his fans (whoever's still openly admits to being one) very sad all over again. The following is the transcript of a phone call that we at the Unrelatedness obtained through
illegal wiretap "special" ways:
*whimper* Ahhhh. *sigh*
[*riiiiiiiiiing……riiiiiiiiing*—click—phone picked up]
uh… he… hello?
um… KG, that you…?
Look man, I just wanted to say: I've been there. It's NOT YOUR FAULT.
[off to the side] I know.
Listen to me, it's not your fault.
[serious] I know.
No you don't, it's not your fault.
Fuck man. Kev, for that last time, stop that Good Will Hunting shit! I think you have a problem.
I'm… I'm sorry… it was on TV last night… um.. talk to you later?
Whatever. You're such a geek sometimes.
This is going to be like the 4th straight post I've at least mentioned Memo Okur, and I wouldn't have it any other way. In lieu of yesterday's announcement of his All-Star joinage, and after thinking long and hard about this: I'm starting an MVP campaign for Okur… surely Boozer deserves more consideration, but eff-that, I'm not going by that logic. Check it—
And if you want to join this campaign of epic proportions, please show it off to the world by wearing it all over your bodies over at the new Hype Store: Gears of Clothing
Here are a few examples, but there are a ton of other colors to select from. Be sure to check back from time to time up on the new tab next to the Toons called "!Shirts!" to see new ish!
I'm also happy to spotlight a new shirt that a certain someone has been
bugging kindly helping me out with a special request (kinda Need4Sheed-esque, but I totally didn't intend for that to happen, love Natalie's stuff though!):
Also, not very NBA related, but because this is pretty much me most of the time:
There are also two designs transferred from the old CafePress store that some of you may remember as well. Don't worry, that ol' CafePress baby of a store will be up forever, if anything, to commemorate one of the bigger events of this blog (yes yes, you've all seen it a lot by now… sorry! I'm working on making a shirt and getting it to Chaka Khan soon!)
So yeah, go check out the some of the new stock over at The GoC!
Breaking news (not that I'm doing anything breaking.. or news-ing..):
From the glorious Temples Of NBA.com:
LAS VEGAS, February 13, 2007 – Ray Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics and Mehmet Okur of the Utah Jazz have been named by NBA Commissioner David Stern as a replacements for injured West All-Stars Allen Iverson (ankle) of the Denver Nuggets and Steve Nash (shoulder) of the Phoenix Suns for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 18 in Las Vegas. Chris Paul of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets will replace Nash in the Playstation Skills Challenge.
The PlayStation Skills Challenge will be televised live nationally as part of the NBA All-Star Saturday Night, which will also feature the Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout, Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk and Haier Shooting Stars. TNT and ESPN Radio's national coverage will begin at 8 p.m. EST from the Thomas & Mack Center. The NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 18, will air live on TNT, ESPN Radio and in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
Hah, that's the entire press release, don't even click on the link! Oh and ya ya, congrats to Jesus Shuttleworth as well. Just like I drew it up ('pun' shamelessly intended)! I should anoint more Official Unrelatedness Player of The Year I'm so good (you hear that Iggy? step up cous!) So it's all good Seth, we can watch again, and the West will win! EDIT: OOtahjazzblog.net beat me by a mile… and a continent (*cries in bed*)
To mark this is freaking awesome occasion, I have something fun coming, check back tomolo! It's way better than all that Amaechi/Anna Nicole Smith/Obama silly "news" going on!
PS: The newest, hottest, flyest mixtape to date: TrueHoop – from Henry Abbott feat. ESPN yaaaa it's a banger!
For some unfathomable reason, Mehmet Okur shall be The Unrelatedess Official Player of the 06-07 Season. The man hits game clinching 3s like he's at a piñata festival. Don't believe me? Take Skeets word for it on today's Fix: "I'm telling ya, he's the most underrated clutch player in the game" As well, he looks goofy enough for this type of deal.
Speaking of the Jones, their 100th ep is coming up and wow that's freakin sick. The Big 1-Hundy. Congrats dudes.
Oh and Yahoo!Sports!NBA! has a redesign. It looks like NBA.com circa 2002. Oh my sweet sweet innocent YahooSports…
Psst! I'm over here! Filling in for the Pradamaster over at Bullets Forever for the next couple of days. I'm not sure how this transpired either, but rest assured that I'll be eroding the whole SportsBloggerNation from the inside mwhahaha! Spreading shit like GoldenStateOfMind got Sactown Royalty pregnant. I be causin' all sorts of havoc and whatnot. Yeah!
So I was half watching the Utah-Sixers game, because it's the only game I got last night. This juggernaut battle of epic proportions was so thrilling, I had to pinch myself from falling asleep. It was THAT exciting.
Don't get me wrong, I love the precision, grinding styles of the Spurs and Pistons. In their own way, it's because of their so-called "boring styles" (given by pedestrian fans), that I love watching the way they execute plays. It's what defines their greatness—the personality of just being mentally tougher than you.
The Jazzies however, have no personality. They run their sets perfectly, but I can't seem to like them. For now, they exude the dreaded label of being just "very good".
It could've been the fact that they were playing the bloody Sixers and maybe because like I said that's my only Jazzies game. But nay, if I say they are as unattractive a team as as Sam the dog, then so shall it be spoketh unto the peoples of the world (and so on and so on).
Heh, that's supposed to be Nick Collison, I guess the color I used was little too dark? Let's just say he's uh..Rashard Lewis?
The Northwest Division wraps up with a couple subperb previews:
One from the very awesome Henry Abbott of True Hoop being VERY realistic about his Portland Trailblazers.
Then SonicsCentral feels their club is on their way back to the 04-05 shape.
And finally, I think the best/funniest preview yet: from Lowpost.net/blog's bro (though Jason should get endless kudos for coming up with lowpost.net in the first place!) comes the Utah Jazz outlook. Go take a gander, did I mention it was funny?

Last spring a friend and colleague introduced me to Pete the Cat: I love my White Shoes by Eric Litwin. Because we've been highlighting some of our feline book friends lately I thought it was a good opportunity to introduce my kindergarteners to Pete. We had a blast! I read the book first and we did a second reading with the music from the publisher's website. The kids were so engaged and full of giggles and smiles!
After book exchange that day they could choose a shoe from one of several shoe patterns and color it. (I asked them to imagine themselves as Pete, walking around their neighborhood. What would they step in? What color would their shoes turn?)
Towards the end of our time together we gathered back, put all the shoes in the middle and then sorted them two ways. They chose to sort them by color, and by kind. (Their ideas.) We shared the sorts on the hallway bulletin board. They've been singing the song ever since; guess I'm going to have to buy the sequel now!
First grade alert: here's a great post from a first grade teacher about creating a class book using Pete.
