hello! how are you????
I often wonder if it's intentional. I mean, I can understand optional bosses being harder than the final boss, but the normal ones? Then again, maybe we just arrived overpowered. XD
Those're hard to come by. >_< The only REAL way to make a game hard these days is to limit yourself; don't take the best weapons, don't use the best skills, etc. Otherwise, 90% of games are easy.
Can't say I've ever met a really hard final boss (or at least, any recent one). Most of the other bosses are usually harder than the final one. But I suppose that's just me.

hi gal!!!!!!!!!!!1
Those're horseflies (which I got ransacked by one summer as well). Fruitflies are really tiny and show up near rotting/decomposing fruit (as I learned the hard way).
Anyway, I'm logging off to continue designing my game and then sleep. Happy to hear from you Michelle.
Is it fruit flies? I got attacked by fruit flies last summer. Annoying bugs. >_<
You should be able to plug the scanner to your notebook. I would assume you'd just have to use the Printer Port.
Ugh. I hate it when that happens. >_<
My laptop has several Trojans on it. I couldn't believe it was still running. O_o I guess quarantining them helped, but it was still atrocious.
I haven't even started getting anything done yet; I had the thought only earlier today. XD I've a lot of testing and configurations to make before I even bother trying to run it.

By Gene Phelps/NEMS Daily Journal
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Jayla Chills was named Mississippi's MVP in Friday's Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Girls Basketball Game, but Ripley's talented guard wasn't thrilled with her performance.
"I could have done a lot of things better, especially on defense," she said.
Better may not have been good enough to slow down Alabama's Marqu'es Webb and Jasmine Rhodes, who scored 19 points apiece to lead their team to a 64-54 victory at Alabama State's Dunn-Oliver Acadome.
Webb, a 6-foot-1 center and Vanderbilt signee, scored 15 second-half points and grabbed 14 rebounds to power Alabama.
"We couldn't get anything going offensively in the second half," said Pontotoc's Bill Russell, who coached Mississippi. "Then the big girl for Alabama took over."
Rhodes, a guard and LSU signee, scored 10 points in the first half to give Alabama a 35-33 lead.
Alabama jumped out to a 16-point lead in the first half only to see Mississippi rally behind Chills and Oxford forward Alexus Malone to cut the lead. Mississippi outscored Alabama 21-8 down the stretch in the first half.
Chills connected on two 3-pointers and scored her 11 points in the first half. Her 3-pointer with 1:29 left in the half cut Alabama's lead to 32-31.
Malone added her six first-half points in the final 5 minutes as Mississippi rallied. She finished with eight points and 10 rebounds.
(B) Alabama 87, Mississippi 76: Kenny Paul Geno's dunk on a lob from teammate TreShawn Bolden of Jackson Callaway cut Alabama's lead to 73-65 with 2:54 remaining, but it wasn't nearly enough for Mississippi, which had trailed by as many as 20 points.
Booneville's Geno closed out his high school career with eight points – two dunks and two putbacks.
He also had seven rebounds and four blocked shots.
"We made some adjustments at halftime," Geno said. "We started blocking out and rebounding. We did well at the end, but they just hit too many shots."
Alabama, which led 54-37 at halftime, got 17 points from Jeremy Johnson. Bolden was one of three Mississippi players with 11 points.

Jennie Garth and Samantha Harris on Paper Culture Stationery
I'm a self-professed 90210 fan. I don't care if that dates me back to the dinosaur period in this new age of vampires. I'll opt for 90210 reruns on the CW any day. So I'm elated that Jennie Garth says our personalized stationery is "Adorable…Love it!"
And even though she might have made the switch from sharing the stage with Jennie on Dancing With the Stars to rubbing elbows on Entertainment Tonight, Samantha Harris still has Paper Culture in common with her former co-star. Samantha gave us her thumbs up by saying, "Thanks for the very cool stationery."

Another Angel for God
by Charles V. Ferree
ValieBorsky went to Heaven August 23, 1995. Few of us knowabout Valie Borsky, or would care very much about hertransition from a seventy-five year old house-wife, toan Angel. I consider myself fortunate to have spentthree days with Valie and her husband, in their Oaklandhome three years ago. She agreed to be interviewed byme for my book project, and after becoming acquainted,we quickly became staunch friends. We spentconsiderable time together, while I taped nine hours ofher experiences, from her childhood, to herincarceration, liberation and eventual immigration toAustralia and finally to the States.
We talked on thephone every week, and wrote letters often. Of courseher husband mourns the loss of his beloved companion offifty years. Her only child, and her threegrandchildren weep over the incredible vacuum hersudden exodus has created in their closely woven lives.
One local woman grew up with Valie in the formerCzechoslovakia, but she happened to be born aChristian, while Valie happened to be born into aJewish family. This accident of birth, placed Valie'slife in jeopardy from the very beginning and preventedher from living a normal, human life for most of hertime on this earth. An educated woman, Valie moved toPrague after college. Her employment by a large Czechbusiness allowed her to earn a decent wage, and enjoythe bountiful cultural opportunities available in thisMecca of music, theater, and other performances whichdrew people from all over Europe during the twentiesand thirties.
Valie spent the first twenty years of herlife as a productive, and happy young woman, unaware ofsigns of impending doom for her and millions of otherJews from one end of Europe to the other. Her fatebecame sealed when Adolf Hitler came to power, and theNazi War Machine began it's historical conquest ofEurope, and decreed the death sentence for an entirerace — (religion) of innocent Europeans.
Valie wasarrested for being Jewish, and spent over four years inthe Nazi Concentration Camp (Theresienstadt) located 40miles from Prague. A military fortress built byAustrian Emperor Joseph II in 1780 and named after hismother the Empress Maria Theresa. The Fortressconsisted of two main parts: The Big Fortress on oneside of the River Ohre and The Small Fortress on theother. It became a typical military garrison town in1882 with 3,700 inhabitants living in 219 houses plus3,500 soldiers housed in military style barracks. In1941 the Germans took over the town (Terezin) andtransformed it into a concentration camp for Jews.
Theso-called Ghetto averaged a population of 35,000prisoners during it's five year existence, but as manyas 60,000 Jews were jammed into the Ghetto during peakperiods. The Nazis fooled the German Red Cross, andwealthy Austrian and German Jews into believing thatThereisenstadt was actually a resort, and lovely spawith all kinds of cultural activities, theaters, coffeehouses, and beguiled thousands of Europe's elderly Jewsinto actually paying a fee to live in this Paradise.Brochures were produced by the Nazis, depictingTheresienstadt as a health resort, a spa, located on abeautiful river, with acres of fruit trees, rollinghills and lovely summers. Hundreds of wealthy Germanand Austrian Jews fell for the propaganda, andrequested an apartment with a view. They were assuredthat they would love the place.
Valie worked in theRecords Department, which made up lists for transportto Poland and death in the infamous gas chambers ofAuschwitz-Birkenau. She soon learned thatThereisenstadt was nothing more than a way-station forJews condemned to death by Nazi Germany. Valie's mainjob became that of typing the names of inmates boundfor transport to the "East."
Working twelve to fourteenhours every day, Vali and her co-workers placed thenames of more than 100,000 Jews from all over Europe on70-80 lists of one thousand people each for shipment totheir deaths. Men, women and thousands of children. Herown name appeared on the "Transport" list on fourdifferent occasions. Each time her name was removed byco-workers, but another person had to be chosen to makeup the complete Transport.
One of the cruelest schemesthe Nazis used in Theresienstandt, became the hoax ofselecting a committee made up of so-called electedJewish leaders, headed by one person appointed by theSS, and named "The Elder of the Jews." During it'sexistence, Theresienstadt, produced several so-calledElders, all of whom were simply figureheads with noreal power. They all perished one way or another,usually shot along with their families, and usuallyafter weeks of torture.
Another strange twist inventedby the Nazis; each list of names destined fortransport, had to be submitted by a committee of theElders and approved by the Camp Commandant, who inreality cared less whose name appeared on the heinouslist, so long as the quota was filled. This policycreated a great deal of chaos, because even though someinmates were considered "safe" by their jobs or valueto the ghetto their names were often selected by otherJews who didn't know them, but had to complete thenecessary quota, often with less than twenty-four hoursnotice. Frequently, spouses would volunteer to go alongwith their families, and it wasn't unusual for a motherto take all of her children with her even though mostsuspected "Transport" meant death, or being shipped toslave labor camps, which were much worse thanTheresienstadt.
On the other hand, many families wereseparated forever, when the father or mother orchildren appeared on the list, and nothing could bedone to make changes once the list had been approvedand submitted. In the mean time, an estimated 160,000people perished in the Ghetto from many causes:disease, execution, and starvation.
Valie's parentsarrived late in 1941 along with her younger sister. Herfather died at the age of 55 of starvation, a brokenspirit and broken hearted. Her mother soon followed.Her beautiful blonde, blue eyed sister went to herdeath in the death camp Auschwitz before her 21st.birthday. Valie typed the names of many of her friendson the death lists, including her fiancee. Vali's yearsin the Ghetto were miserable, as were the lives of mostother inmates.
Fleas and lice were a constant problem,the source of Typhus and other contagious diseases.Hunger never left her. Stealing food meant survival,but just barely. Every prisoner became emaciated andmany simply gave up and died. Valie told me thatstealing food became an honorable thing to do, eventhough the penalties were severe if caught. Some of theinmates who worked outside, harvested weeds and grasswhich they cooked and ate. Eventually, the SS outlawedthis practice, but inmates furtively continued stealinggrass and weeds, which the horses grazed on. She toldme that when boiled, the weeds and grass tasted alittle like spinach. Potatoes became a most valuablecommodity, while the staple food was watery soup andstale bread.
Valie lived in a one of the militarybarracks, sharing space with other women working in herdepartment. They slept on straw scattered on the woodenfloor, with one tattered blanket each to keep them warmduring the wretched winter months. Many succumbed topneumonia and other diseases caused by malnutrition andthe cold, damp winters. Valie continued to augment herdiet by stealing and or trading items of one kind oranother for more edible food. She finally got caughtwith three stolen potatoes, and the punishment was asevere beating administered by one of the many Czechghetto police, hired by the SS, and armed with whipsand clubs. Valie suffered grievous wounds during thepunishment, which was supervised by a young SS officerwho encouraged the Czech to "beat her to death, toteach the rest a lesson." The club injured herinternally, but the worst consequence was broken bonesin her back, arms and shoulder.
Even thoughhospitalized for weeks, the Jewish doctors did not havethe necessary medication nor equipment to treat herproperly, and as one result, she became a "hunchback,"with a distorted spine and one leg shorter than theother. She never stood upright again. Her height hadbeen shortened by four inches and she was crippled forthe rest of her life. All for three potatoes, and themaliciousness of the SS.
Such treatment of inmates wascommon, the brutality of her fellow countrymen, wasonly surpassed by the inhumanity of the Nazi SS.Eventually, the Czech police were dismissed and somekilled when they became part of the Czech resistance.One reason they were replaced by SS was suspicion onthe part of the camp Commandant that they might becomeorganized and cause trouble for him. When the Germansrealized that the Russians were closing in on Prague,Adolf Eichmann received orders from Heinrich Himmler toset up gas chambers and kill all the people still inthe camp.
The gas was delivered and one of thebuildings was set up as a gas chamber. The Commandantmade preparations to follow orders. The Commandant, anAustrian (all three Commandants of this camp wereAustrians) named Karl Rahm, a tool maker in civilianlife, became concerned that if he followed through withgassing the thousands of inmates, he could be tried asa war criminal. A double agent, named Rudy Schultz,also an Austrian, and professional criminal assigned tothe Gestapo, warned Rahm that he could be heldresponsible if the gassing program proceeded asordered.
Rudy had been punished by his superior forminor and personal grievances. His punishment, a shortstay as a prisoner in Theresienstadt, where he actuallybefriended many Jews and helped the other inmates inanyway he could. Rudy enjoyed total freedom ofmovement, and wore only the best civilian clothing. Adapper dresser, and handsome man, his cunning enabledhim to live a good life while confined to the ghetto,he lived in his own apartment in SS Headquarters,enjoyed the company of SS officers including Rahm whoknew the power of Gestapo Agents.
Rahm feared thatRudy's warning could be true, because of Rudy'scontinuous contacts with the outside world. He didn'twant to risk being hanged as a war criminal, so heprocrastinated on the orders to gas all the remaininginhabitants, and made good his escape just before thecamp was liberated by the Russian army. Rahm did getcaptured by the Allies, was returned to Prague afterthe war, where the Czech courts tried him and sentencedhim to death.
Rahm did hang, as did other's involvedwith crimes committed in Theresienstadt. In the meantime, the Russians found a raging Typhus epidemic, anddid the best they could under difficult circumstancesto help the sick inmates. Many perished, but Valiesurvived. After a brief period of recuperation, Valieset out along with other former inmates for Prague,expecting help from the government. The forty mile walkwas very difficult, because many were still ill, andweak from years of suffering.
Upon reaching Pragueafter a most difficult journey, Valie found totalchaos. None of the officials could offer help orassistance. She had no money or other assets, just theclothing on her back and a cardboard suitcase with afew extra tattered things to wear. She was helpless andhopeless. Hungry and desperate. She wandered aroundPrague, along with many others who had been recentlyliberated, finally finding her way to the oldestSynagogue in the city. She was fed, and given shelterin "Old Prague," along with a few coins which she usedto rent a tiny apartment, sharing it with another womanand her nine year old son, who also had been in theghetto.
Everything a person needed to survive wasscarce, there were no jobs available, the country hadbeen occupied by Germany for almost five years, and nowthe Communists were trying to put things back in order.Valie managed to find her way to Austria, where shefound domestic work, and saved her money to leaveEurope. Her words to me were; "I didn't want any partof Europe. I hated my own people, and other Europeansas well."
She booked passage on a ship bound forAustralia. During the voyage Valie met another Czechnamed Vladislav Borsky. (her maiden name was Tick).They fell in love and were married during the longvoyage. Vladislav was not Jewish, and he had survivedduring the war and occupation by becoming a bootlegger,providing the occupation forces with booze, some ofwhich he made himself. An engineer by education,Vladislav, was a very bright and resourceful man. Hehad plenty of money, and when their ship reached theshores of Australia, he purchased a house and took ajob operating an aluminum factory. Eventually, heopened his own business and they prospered.
Vladislavwanted to return to Europe, at least for a visit, ormaybe to return to Prague and pursue his career as anengineer. Valie refused and they decided to visitfriends in America. After this visit, they decided toimmigrate to the states. They settled in Oakland whereVladislav worked in his profession until retirement.They had one child, a boy, who went to medical schooland practices Ophthalmology. They never returned toEurope although Valie expressed a desire to visit Pragueonce more before she died.
Vladislav, who told us tojust call him "Joe" because we had difficultypronouncing his name developed heart trouble years ago,and wasn't in good health, is one of the nicest men wehave ever met. Valie who seemed healthy except for herinjuries, suffered a heart attack in August 1995 anddied after two days in a hospital. During our manytalks, she expressed little bitterness or hatredagainst any one. Her son knows about her past, but notin detail. She has always been reluctant to discuss indetail, her terrible experience and suffering at thehands of the Nazis, but because she trusted me and felttime may be running out, she shared her story with me.
As a person who entered several Nazi concentrationcamps shortly after their liberation, and saw themanner in which millions of innocent people were killedor died because of the Nazi policies, and havingreturned to Europe several times, re-visiting placeswhere I saw so much death and destruction, I've come tobelieve that even though many have seen documentaryfilms of the Holocaust, and read about the terrorperpetrated upon millions of Europeans by Hitler andNazi Germany, if you haven't smelled the smells,personally viewed the deep pits filled with unknowncorpses, and watched as American soldiers summarilymowed down hundreds of Nazi guards, especially inDachau, it would be difficult to develop a realisticfeeling for the significance of Valie's experiences.
In1994, we visited Theresienstadt. I walked on the sameground Valie walked on. I visited museums in the LittleFortress, I went into the deep underground dungeons,where hundreds of prisoners were tortured and murderedby the SS. I'm haunted by the ghosts of Valie and theothers. Valie is an Angel now, and she's at peace. I'llnever forget this kind, gentle woman who treated us sograciously, cooked special Czech meals for us, andpatiently answered my long list of questions of herlife in what has become to be known as the most uniqueconcentration camp of all. Not a designated "DeathCamp," rather as the "Gateway To Hell."
"Let any doubter, in all the generations to come,comtemplate what it would be like to live in a worlddominated by Hitler, the Japanese warlords, or anyother cruel dictator or despot."

NHL12 - Be a Gm Quirks
Kent Wilson
September 13 2011 12:59PM
EA Sports released their much anticipated NHL12 today. Reviews and reports of game play/mechanics have been trickling in on my twitetr feed today, some of which I have decided to share. Apparently EA has gotten quite clever with this iteration and the "Be a GM" game mode hides some rather idiosyncratic quirks and pitfalls.
Be a GM - Edmonton Oilers
- Players frequently suffer injuries. Particularly star players. Injury frequency actually increases when fighters are added to the roster.
- You have to deal with constant, annoying trade requests from every player in the organization.
- UFA offers to new players are automatically rejected.
- Baffling managerial decisions by Kevin Lowe crop up randomly and there's nothing you can do about them.
- Every game starts with the Oilers down by at least two goals.
- No Oilers goalie can maintain a SV% above .905.
- It is impossible to win a fight while playing as Zach Stortini.
Be a GM - Calgary Flames
- Automatically changes whatever GM name you input to "Ken King"
- Prospects are always returned to the minor team, even after being put on the Flames active roster.
- The playoffs end after round 1.
- Russian players cannot be traded for or signed.
- Newly signed players are automatically given a NTC.
- Consistently place 8th or below in the Western Conference, regardless of point totals.
- Players traded to Toronto automatically gain 5+ points to their overall rating. The opposite happens with any player traded from Toronto.
Be a GM - Vancouver Canucks
- Only Vancouver players have an added "diving" rating, which is automatically 90 or above.
- Roberto Loungo is automatically pulled in high-pressure or important games.
- The Sedin twins can only stand idle while being assualted after the whistle.
- "Punch" buttons during a fight become "crouch" and "turtle" if the player is Alex Burrows.
- It is impossible to win four games in the Stanley Cup finals.
Be a GM - Toronto Maple Leafs
- Cannot trade for or sign players with "toughness" ratings below 80. Related: Colton Orr cannot be traded from the team nor scratched from the active roster.
- Only one player with an overall rating of 90 or above is allowed on the roster at any given time.
- Any Goalie acquired will automatically see his rating fall below 70.
- During season simulations, the Leafs win rate will double once they have been eliminated from the playoff race.
- Phil Kessel's rating jumps from 55-85 randomly and for weeks at a time.
- Players traded from Calgary gain 5+ points to the overall rating. The opposite happens with any player traded to Calgary.
Be a GM - Winnipeg Jets
- Dustin Byfuglien's weight increases by 2% every day of the off-season. The "pass" button automatically becomes another "shoot" button when playing as Byfuglien as well.
- For the first season, fans cheer no matter what happens on the ice. Attendance falls by 15% for every year after that, regardless of the team's success or failure on the ice.
- UFA's automatically demand 25% on top of initial offers.
- Don Wadell constantly calls with terrible trade suggestions.
- The season ends when the playoffs begin.
September 14 2011, 10:11AM
NYI: At random times during the season Alexei Yashin shows up to thank you for the free money. Photo ops with DiPietro in the hospital ensue.
NJD: During the draft, any player that has fallen a few spots will automatically become a great NHL player if chosen by you, but will never make the NHL if chosen by any other team. Also, any trades you make will automatically force the other team's GM to add on a pick or a useful player resulting in you always winning the trade. Cap hits for players are 1/16th of whatever they are earning.
PHX: Your team takes half the time and suffers no ill-effects of travelling on the road, since all players have their suit-case packed and ready to move at all times.
CBJ: At the end of every season a menu pops up and says Rick Nash is requesting a skilled player to play with. Your two options are x (for NO) and O (for NO). In the last year of your contract as GM the club salary must double and result in no change in the standings.
ANA: During off-season you have no choice but to sign Teemu Selanne until he is either 50 years old or drops below a point per game. Also you must sign any players that EDM does not resign.
NSH: Every game goes to a shootout and you lose the game 1-0. If any player on your team who is NOT a defenseman scores a goal they are automatically traded or not resigned. Goalies drafted always have A+ potential.

As a cancer survivor, it's so important to keep a close connection with others, including helpful resources that you might need as you recover.
Many times, it's as simple as needing someone to help with errands, shopping or household chores. Or it could be as complicated as getting a ride to your appointments.
When I talk with people about this, they tell me that they're hesitant to ask for help from others as they don't want to seem like a burden. On the other hand, I hear from family and friends who really want to help and don't know what to do.
A connection to others is important. Reach out to your family and friends when you need them. It doesn't always have to be about your cancer. Make a date for lunch, a movie, a walk or a simple cup of coffee.

What do you do after your close friend gets a negative cancer diagnosis and stops calling youn all together.
After my husband died, the support was CRUCIAL to my existence. So true. Many people did some great things for me. My friend started a website that offers tips that I found really helpful. www.exactlywhattheyneed.com
My father is currently suffering from cancer.He is very thankful to life for the care and concern shown towards him by his family as well as other people.Inspite of the fact that he was never a No. 1 according to society's business models.I link this fact to my spirituality-the fact that he enjoys this 'good fortune',though he is an agnostic and doesn't subscribe to my dogma
Creative expression has been especially helpful for me as I've dealt with my illness. So I created a blog where others living with cancer could also post their creative works. www.ultra-sounds.org (totally non-profit)Feel free to pass on to others living with cancer.
I've been cancer-free for 1 year and just want to tell everyone that trying to stay positive thru this journey is the key to beating this ugly thing..Chemo is not a fun time but i wouldn't let it take over my life.I was so determined and prayed alot to get my healthy life back.I just celebrated my 70th Bday in Sept. and feel great!!
For any blood cancer, the First Connection Program through the Leukemia, Lymphoma Society is a great resource. They connect you with a current survivor so you can ask them any questions you may have about the cancer process.

A Starbucks coupon offer blacked out some Groupon services Friday.
Allison Enright
Consumers flocked to Groupon.com to buy Starbucks' digital gift cards for half off and knocked Groupon offline for a time on Friday. The site was back up by late afternoon, although not all services were immediately available, a Groupon spokeswoman says.
According to Groupon's web site, more than 100,000 consumers bought the cards by Friday afternoon. The offer, pay $5 for a $10 Starbucks e-gift card, is live through Saturday. Due to the volume of orders, it may take longer than normal before consumers who bought the deal see it posted to their accounts, the spokeswoman says. The spokeswoman declined to say how many more than 100,000 had been sold.
The order volume also left some consumers unable to view their previously purchased Groupon deals in their accounts. Groupon Now deals, which are deals that Groupon sells for immediate redemption, were also unavailable Friday afternoon. "We expect to be at 100% functionality soon," the spokeswoman says.
This isn't the first time a hot deal has knocked Groupon offline. A promotion in 2010 that offered $50 worth of Gap merchandise for $25 drew more than 440,000 orders and crashed Groupon's servers for a time.

This event has already occurred — The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree will arrive at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol along First Street, NW, at 10 a.m. on Monday, November 25, 2013.
This year's tree is an Engelmann spruce from the Newport Ranger District of the Colville National Forest in Washington State. It was harvested on November 1, and is currently traveling from Washington across the country; making stops in 22 communities along the way. After it arrives at the U.S. Capitol and is secured in the ground, the tree will be decorated with thousands of ornaments, handcrafted by Washingtonians to reflect this year's theme, "Sharing Washington's Good Nature," which highlights the state's historical, cultural, and natural beauty.
The tree will be lit by Speaker of the House John A. Boehner during a ceremony on Tuesday, December 3, on the Capitol's West Front lawn beginning at 5 p.m. Architect of the Capitol Stephen T. Ayers, FAIA, LEED AP, will serve as master of ceremonies. The Capitol Christmas Tree has been a tradition at the U.S. Capitol since 1964. The tree will be lit from night fall until 11 p.m. each evening through January 1, 2014.

The Falling Asleep of St. John the Evangelist and Theologian
The Gospel according to John 19:25-27; 21:24-25
At that time, standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

NEW YORK – The three-point shot is the hot shot in today's NBA. Teams took more threes this season (49,068) than any other season, and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry made a league-record 272 threes this season.
Twelve teams took at least 20 three-pointers per game, including 28.9 per game by the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets. NBA Commissioner David Stern noted that in 2000-01 not one team took more than 20 threes a game.
"It's been a complete progression, and understandably based upon the proficiency of our players and the statistical result of being able to hit 3s at something approaching 35%," Stern said.
3-POINT RECORD: Stephen Curry sets new mark
Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver and owners spent time talking about the growing popularity of the three-pointer at this week's Board of Governors meeting, which concluded Friday, and the competition committee will look at the long-range shot when it meets during the Finals in June.
"For better or worse, enjoy your own impression because we don't have an impression but when our teams are hot, it's a thing of beauty. And when they're not, they can go 3 for 41," Stern said.
Stern mentioned strategy and advanced statistics used by several teams.
"It's also interesting to note the way certain teams are now defending the 3, giving up the mid-range shot and the statistical variances that come into play," Stern said. "That's relevant because many of our teams, and soon to be all, are so focused on analytics and the percentages that go with taking shots and various formations that we just think it's interesting. It wasn't a presentation for purposes of a result -- just as an observation to let our teams know where the game is going."
Stern said the competition committee will also look at other areas: use of instant replay, clear path to the basket fouls and ways to speed up the game.
KINGS SALE: Resolution nearing
While the sale of the Sacramento Kings to either a local group that will keep the team in Sacramento or to a group that will relocate the team to Seattle dominated the owners' meeting, the league tackled several other issues.
-The San Antonio Spurs rested key players early in the season against the Miami Heat and incurred the wrath of NBA Commissioner David Stern.
The Miami Heat, and other teams including the New York Knicks, rested players down the stretch, and no team received a $250,000 fine like the Spurs did in late November.
Paraphrasing late Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart, when it comes to sitting of players, Stern knows it when he sees it.
Still, it is a topic of interest to fans, coaches, general managers and owners as the league tries to find an acceptable place where what's best for the league intersects with what's best for a team.
"It's fair to say that I raised the issue in executive session that it was something the board was going to have to come to grips with as a group of partners in this very competitive but significant and fan-friendly business," Stern said. "We didn't reach any conclusion, but it's very much on the agenda as a continuing subject."
-The league continues its plan for international growth, focusing on Asia. Silver recently visited China and President of NBA International Heidi Ueberroth recently visited Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Next preseason, the Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers will play games in the Philippines and Taiwan, and the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers will play two games in China.
"There was a very full update on international matters that touched upon many continents but particularly the extraordinary and growing influence of Asia," Stern said. "There was a really good back and forth about the importance of international to our business, although it remains relatively small as a percentage, it's growing much, much faster and it holds out great promise, and I briefed the board on my recent visit to India and the opportunities that are presented there as well"
-Ever tune into the local broadcast of a game NBA League Pass and listen to a certain home team's announcer display a peculiar brand of favoritism toward the home team?
Stern has noticed that, too, and may try to curb (hear that Tommy Heinsohn?). Stern admits he may get resistance from regional sports networks.
Stern said there is "some questioning about whether -- wasn't there anything we could do about the tenor of certain home team reporting on regional sports networks by which fans get their impression of the NBA, and basically we told the owners that we explained what a homer is. And we weren't talking about baseball.
"And that that sells and that's what some of the networks are telling their announcers, and that in its collectivity builds a certain impression, but we're all over it, and we're working on it."
-In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing tragedy, owners discussed security at arena. Without revealing details, the league vowed to "maintain a high level of vigilance as always" at arenas.
The NBA pledged to make a significant contribution to The One Fund which will "help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston."
Stern indicated the league will show support to the people of Boston during the playoffs "particularly in the course of the Knicks-Celtics playoff series," Stern said.
-The National Basketball Players Association remains without an executive director after players ousted Billy Hunter during All-Star Weekend, but Stern said the league is on track for HGH testing starting in the 2013-14 season.
"I don't want to put words into the mouth of a union leader who hasn't been selected yet, and that's going to be a subject for discussion," Stern said. "But I must say that the history of our union leading the way, if you would, with respect to all drug testing and the adding of additional substances. In some way we're lucky to see this sort of play out in other sports so we can be better informed."
"Right now we hope that we're going to have HGH testing for next season. And we don't see any reason why we won't."
-The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets both want the 2015 All-Star Game.
The Knicks have renovated Madison Square Garden with nearly $800 in upgrades, and the Nets play in the new $1 billion Barclays Center.
"No update. We continue to talk to both the Nets and the Knicks about 2015," Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said.
A joint bid is possible.
"It is possible, and we would divide the events between the two teams," Silver said. "There's ongoing discussions, but yes, they're both open to that."
-The league approved the sale of additional shares of the Cleveland Cavaliers to majority owner Dan Gilbert, and approved Jeanie Buss' appointment as the controlling governor of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Owners also paid tribute to Buss father, longtime Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who died in February.
"We stopped the meeting to talk about the importance that Jerry Buss (and) the important role he has played in this league, particularly his willingness to make himself available to others," Stern said. "The owners felt very strongly about commemorating that as well as the fact that even though he was a Laker first and foremost, how he really looked out for the league's interests when it came to important issues for what was good for the overall league. He was extraordinary in that regard."

EAST CARBON/TAYLORSVILLE- On June 24, 2013, our mother, Mary Isaura Martinez Palacios passed away peacefully at the home of her granddaughter Lisa surrounded by her many, many loved ones; we are joyful that she is rejoining the love of her life, Joe. Mary was born to Patricio Martinez and Martina Maes Martinez on Sept. 25, 1920, in New Mexico and reared in Canjilon. Mary came to Utah some time after her mother's death and lived with her father who worked in the copper mines. There she met Joe Palacios, her soul mate, and they married in 1942 in Evanston, Wyo. Together they had six children and reared them in Carbon County, Utah. Mary is survived by all of her children: Josephine Turner ("Bud," deceased), Christina Palacios, Victoria Palacios (Robert Johnson, deceased), Gregory Palacios (Daynna), Frances Palacios, and Marianne Palacios (Blaine). Mary is also survived by 14 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, her sister Patricia Gonzales, her brother Agripino Martinez, Carla Jones who was like a daughter to her and her goddaughter Dee Martinez.
Our beloved mother was preceded in death by our dad Joe in 1992. Her devotion to him was constant. For more than 20 years she kept him in her heart and frequently spoke of how she looked forward to joining him. Mom, Dad, we are happy you are together again. Mary was also preceded in death by her parents; by her siblings Amalia Leyba, Joseph Martinez, Patricio Martinez, Jr., Monte Martinez, and Baltazar Martinez; by her sons-in-law Bud Turner and Robert Johnson; and by her grandchildren Chelsea Palacios and Derek Turner.
That Mary was loved by all is evidenced by the hundreds who attended her 90th birthday celebration. She was, by all measures, an amazing mother, self-sacrificing, generous, and resourceful as she had to be those many times the coal mines were idle. She had the highest moral standards and demanded her children adhere to the same standards. She was devoted to God and her church. Mary's sense of humor was legendary among us. Quick, witty, wry and self-effacing, she could bring us to the floor laughing with just a word or a look. And she was strong. Over the years there were many family crises. Mom was our rock. Her strength and wisdom sustained the family. When we look at our children, we see Mary. When we look at our grandchildren, we see Mary.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Good Shepherd Hospice whose staff provided excellent care to Mary and who helped us understand what to expect and how to support Mary in her final days. Finally, words are not adequate to express the debt of gratitude we owe to Mary's granddaughter, Lisa Carbine and her family. Their love, patience and sacrifice made the end of her life the best experience it could possibly have been.
A viewing was held on Thursday, June 27, from 6-7 p.m. at Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 E. Main St., Price Utah, followed by the Holy Rosary at 7 p.m. A Requiem Mass celebrating Mary's life was held on June 28 at 11 a.m. at Good Shepherd Parish in East Carbon, Utah. A viewing was held prior to the Mass from 10-11 a.m. Interment in Price City Cemetery beside her husband. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price where friends and family are always welcome daily and may share memories of Mary online at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.
We thank God for the rare and beautiful person that Mary was.

Pros: World class sound and comfort from Beyer
Cons: Cable isn't as pretty as rest of headphone
This is not going to be as thorough or long as my normal reviews for now - but I wanted to get something in place. I have always liked Beyer headphones, but they all had some very defining character or flavor - even the most neutral, the DT880/600, was a little hot in the treble and a little light in the bass, IMO.
Well, the T1 changes all that. While maybe just a touch lush, it is possessed of an amazing transparency and neutrality. While slightly behind the Sennheiser HD800 in terms of midrange transparency and soundstage realism, it beats all other dynamic headphones in those areas, and slightly bests the HD800 in terms of treble smoothness and realistic bass. The T1 has an absolutely unique ability to make music sound natural, in my experience. Music simply flows from the T1 in a way that makes it unbelievably enjoyable to listen to, but without requiring any kind of noticeable coloration to get that job done. In my experience, it is that combination of neutrality, accuracy, and musicality that makes the T1, for me, the king of the dynamic headphones.
My basic description is as follows:
* Very neutral overall response, but perhaps just a tiny bit lush
* incredibly nuance and detail
* completely grainless
* an amazing transparency
* tremendous imaging and soundstaging
The T1 is, undoubtedly, a phenomenal headphone, and an enormous step forward from the DT880 (or its siblings). In terms of looks and build, it's basically like a much, much better build 880. Same basic size and shape on the exterior, but better materials and a higher level of workmanship. But sonically, it is on another level altogether.
This is a terrifically balanced headphone in terms of its sonic presentation, and as a result, it sounds VERY natural, or, more accurately, music coming from it sounds very natural.
One thing which I think is a VERY good sign - different songs sound VERY different from each other - there is absolutely no homogenizing of the sound. So you have to listen to a bunch of songs you know REALLY well to get the right measure of the T1 - as one recording will often sound very different from the next, due to the recordings themselves.
Comparisons: w/r/t the HD800, I don't have them anymore, and so I'm not sure my comparison would be valid. But from what I've heard over the last few hours, with no break-in, I think the two are in the same league, and there are subtle differences. From memory, the HD800 has the even more expansive soundstage, but the T1's have a presence to the mids that lends a sense of musical realism beyond what I ever felt from the HD800. The T1 has the stronger bass, although it's in no way overbearing or bloated. And the T1 has the slightly less aggressive treble, while still being just as extended. They are also a very significant cut above the HifiMan HE-5, in every respect, as good as I feel those headphones are.
Maybe the best description I can give the T1 is that it is highly musical, but without having to be a technological apologist An incredibly comfortable, well-engineered headphone, but one that still lets the music come shining through.

The USA Eagles lost their World Cup warm-up match 27-7 against Canada in front of a sold-out crowd at Infinity Park on Saturday.
The USA Eagles lost their World Cup warm-up match 27-7 against Canada in front of a sold-out crowd at Infinity Park on Saturday.
Despite plenty of possession and territory for the home side, it was USA errors that allowed Canada to run in three tries during the match.
The opening points of the match came from Canadian center DTH van der Merwe who picked up a loose ball and raced 50 meters to score.
Full-back James Pritchard kicked the conversion, putting Canada 7-0 up after five minutes. The USA replied by putting some excellent phases together, getting over the advantage line with every carry.
This pressure eventually resulted in two yellow cards, one for lock Jamie Cudmore and later flanker Chauncey O'Toole. Both players were penalised for not coming through the gate during a ruck.
Despite a lack of possession Pritchard added a penalty for Canada.
Down 10-0, the USA began another build-up using multiple attacking phases. This time Malifa put a deft kick through with full-back Blaine Scully sliding over to score for the home side.
The capacity crowd enjoyed Malifa's sideline conversion, leaving the half-time score at 10-7.
Winger Taku Ngwenya sparked the second half into action with an amazing run, beating three defenders, sending Louis Stanfill over in the corner. The television match official (TMO) adjudged that Stanfill was held up over the tryline.
The Eagles then lost Chris Biller to a yellow card for not rolling away at the ruck, with the hooker being sent to the sin bin for ten minutes. From the resulting penalty Pritchard put Canada ahead 13-7.
Paul Emerick made his second massive break of the match, slicing through the Canadian mid field. But a turnover led to Canada's van der Merwe setting up a try for Aaron Carpenter.
The Eagles had their chances later in the match, but another long range try saw winger Phil Mackenzie dot down, sealing the match 27-7.
The scorers:
For Canada:
Tries: Van der Merwe, Carpenter, Mackenzie;
Cons: Pritchard 3
Pens: Pritchard 2
For USA:
Try: Scully
Con: Malifa

"but as usual you are only supposed to be invested in CARA and HOT GUY while also wanting CARA and SMOKING HOT COUSIN to finally GET IT ON"
At first I thought SMOKING HOT COUSIN was CARA's cousin and I was very, very, very confucerned. (That's a combo of confused and concerned, for those who don't speak portmanteau. And who have never seen the word before because I just made it up.)
@Broken Angel -- And they're COUSINS, not BROTHERS -- so yes, totallllllly different ;)

New medical diagnostic tests, improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of health care electronic records, reference materials for laboratory test methods, faster screening of promising vaccines, these are a few of the many areas where NIST research serves the needs of the bioscience and health care community.
The mission of the building and fire research programs at NIST is to anticipate and meet the measurement science, standards, and technology needs of the U.S. building and fire safety industries in areas of critical national need.
From the food we eat and the pharmaceuticals doctors prescribe to the paints and fuel additives we use, NIST develops the technology, measurement methods, and standards to address the needs of the chemical industry.
Using the latest mathematics approaches and computational methods, researchers at NIST provide state-of-the-art contributions that assist industry and academia in tackling some of the most difficult scientific, technical, and engineering problems and tasks.
Physics research at NIST includes everything from improving the safety of medical radiation procedures to developing future "quantum information" technologies that generate unbreakable codes. NIST provides the measurements, standards, and technical expertise scientists and industries need to push the limits of the fundamental properties of nature.
In the realm of electrons and light, NIST provides the standards, develops the instruments, and performs the calibrations necessary to keep both the smallest electronic components and the largest power grids running smoothly and safely.
Standards for the Smart Grid, energy efficient lighting, photovoltaics, net-zero-energy buildings, software for "smart" building, these are a few of the many NIST energy use and conservation research areas. NIST develops the testing, measurements, and reference materials needed to ensure the quality of energy-related products and services.
Through its partnerships with industry, government, and academia, NIST is helping to advance measurements and tools for environmental science, for example by calibrating the sensors of climate-mapping satellites and detecting ever more minute quantities of toxins and pollutants in our air, soil, water, and blood.
Advancing the state-of-the-art in IT in such applications as cyber security and biometrics, NIST accelerates the development and deployment of systems and conducts research to develop the measurements and standards infrastructure for emerging information technologies and applications.
NIST helps manufacturers of all kinds--shipbuilding to semiconductor makers--streamline their operations, improve quality, reduce environmental impacts, develop innovative products and processes, and expand their markets.
Plastics, carbon nanotubes, high-strength alloys, artificial bone and joint replacements are just some of the emerging materials for which NIST develops testbeds, defines benchmarks, and develops formability measurements and models.
From leading cutting edge research to coordinating the development of standards that promote trade, NIST's programs in nanotechnology directly impact priorities important to the nation's economy and well being.
From helping to develop technologies that detect explosives and locate survivors in a collapsed building to video software that identifies criminals and high endurance building materials, NIST is working to keep people safe.
NIST helps ensure that U.S. organizations (and their products and services) achieve the highest levels of quality as well as maintains and transmits accurate measurements to state agencies and industry.
Transportation-related industries rely on NIST for a wide range of assistance including reference materials used in manufacturing vehicles, development of standards and performance tests for alternative transportation energy sources, and continual improvement in methods for monitoring the safety and strength of roadways and rail lines.

The Ferris Collection of PrintsAbout
About the Ferris Collection of Prints
Ferris's professional interest as a portrait painter helped to determine the nature of the collection. Portrait prints, such as 17th-century engravings by the Dutch artists Jakob Houbraken and Rembrandt van Rijn and the Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck are well represented. Prints by the popular 19th-century German etcher William Unger reproduce works after Frans Hals, Peter Paul Rubens, and William Merritt Chase. Ferris also owned many reproductive engravings of Italian art. These include works after the Carracci family from the Farnese Gallery and the Barberini Museum, and some charming 18th-century aquatints after sketches by French artist Jean Honoré Fragonard of major Italian 17th-century paintings. Other than prints made during the etching revival, landscape subjects are few.
Ferris participated actively in the etching revival, a movement that began in France in the 1860s and spread to England and to the United States by the 1880s. There were earlier etching experiments in the United States, and a few artists knew about the technique and tried it. Ferris himself saw a demonstration in 1860, but did not devote himself to its practice until the 1870s, when he became an enthusiastic promoter of etching. He demonstrated the art on many occasions at the Philadelphia Sketch Club and was a founding member of the Philadelphia Society of Etchers in 1881.
French art was a strong cultural influence in the United States during the 19th century, and many Americans would have read about French art and artists in newspapers and magazines. The work of contemporary French etchers such as Léopold Flameng, Charles Jacque, Maxime Lalanne, and Paul Rajon was of great interest to artists like Ferris. Not surprisingly, a number of French prints turn up in the Ferris Collection. Some were prints by Jules Jacquemart and other etchers whose interpretations of paintings and decorative objects were highly regarded at the time. Others were original prints like those of Charles Jacque, who etched rural scenes. Ferris and other collectors at this point did not distinguish on the basis of original versus reproductive prints. Later, original etchings—the artist's own composition transcribed directly onto the plate—came to occupy a higher cultural plane than etchings made after paintings or other artworks.
Both Ferris and his son are represented in the collection as are the members of their extended family. Stephen Ferris married Elizabeth Moran, sister of artists Edward, John, Peter, and Thomas Moran. Thomas, Peter, and Thomas's wife, Mary Nimmo, also etched, and they often exchanged prints with the Ferris family. Many impressions are inscribed as special gifts.
Stephen Ferris also acquired and exchanged prints with fellow artists in Philadelphia such as John Sartain and received prints from local collectors. He greatly admired Mariano Fortuny (1838–1874), a Spanish artist little known today, whose prints he collected and some of whose paintings he reproduced. But he named his son after Jean Léon Gérôme (1824–1904), the French painter who was just beginning to be known in the United States in 1863 when Gerome Ferris was born. The two men corresponded but seem never to have met in person. Ferris received an impression of one of Gérôme's four known etchings, La Negresse de Hedjah, with a dedication from the artist: "à Mr Stephen J Ferris/ son affectioné/ J L Gérôme."
For many years Stephen Ferris taught at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. His teaching career, together with his broad interest in art, helps to explain the miscellaneous nature of the prints in his collection, many of which reproduce works of art in other media. Quite a few appear to have been removed from books. Some show sculpture; some are religious scenes; not all are identified. The figures may be reduced to just the outlines as in the reproductive prints of Charles Normand. These do not appear to have a direct relation to Ferris's art, but they do form a kind of personal archive.
His son Jean Leon Gerome Ferris (1863–1930), a history painter, wrote to the Smithsonian in 1927 that his father "knew more about good pictures, past and present, and the fundamental principles of their production than any artist I have ever met."

Mission Church, New Mexico
- Description
- Thomas Moran etched this view of a mission church in New Mexico in 1881 after a photograph by friend and traveling companion William Henry Jackson (1843–1942). Moran had met Jackson in 1871 on Ferdinand V. Hayden's Yellowstone expedition, the first government-sponsored survey of that area. Jackson and Moran worked side by side recording views. While Moran's paintings of the West made his reputation, fewer than one-fifth of his etchings depict Western or Mexican scenes. His signature "TYM" at lower left stands for Thomas "Yellowstone" Moran.
- The church shown in this print was replaced by a stone building in the early 20th century, and the San Juan Pueblo recently changed its name to Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. It lies twenty-five miles north of Santa Fe.

Very Comfy
"I bought this for my outdoor jogging during lunch break. When I first tried on, it's super soft and comfortable. I thought it would look silly with socks so I decided to ditch the socks and wear it like casual shoes. Turned out the rough inside seams scrapped the back of my foot so bad, may be because the shoes run a little bit loose? which is weird cuz I always wear size 6 from Crocs.Anyway, next day, I had to wear thick socks with it and everything worked fine. I have been jogging in it ever since, and love it."
