Update Planned On Proposed Parking Garage For Downtown
Tyler city leaders expect today to receive an update on a proposal to build a downtown parking garage.
The Tyler City Council agreed in January to move forward with design work that could bring hundreds of additional parking spaces to the downtown area.
The consultant, Walker Parking, is about halfway through the design phase, supported by local experts -- Butler Architectural Group and Ballard and Braughton Engineering.
City engineer Carter Delleney said the law allows the municipality to establish a guaranteed maximum price, a cost estimated at $7 million or less, records show.
When completed, the multi-story Fair Plaza Garage parking structure, at the southwest corner of Broadway Avenue and Elm Street, is expected to lessen parking headaches in the downtown area.
The initial parking study was funded through donations and a special downtown tax levy in Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 2.
Officials said a public-private partnership is critical for seeing the project to fruition.
In other action items, the council is expected to accept funding from the Federal Aviation Administration for $7 million in runway improvements at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport and authorize a local funding match not to exceed 10 percent; and award a bid to build bus shelters at some Tyler Transit stops.
The meeting is set to begin at 9 a.m. at Tyler City Hall, 212 N. Bonner Ave.
Also today, city leaders plan to meet at 1:30 p.m. to celebrate the opening of the new Fire Station 5, 1532 S. Bennett Ave.

1. | friendship | ||
Something that is much underrated in our society. Friendship is actually a form of love (here I'm not talking exclusively about erotic love). It's not a lesser form of love than erotic love, only a different form of love. In fact, the ancient Greeks had a word, "phileos", more or less equating to fraternal/brotherly love (friendship). Friendship seems to have no observable biological necessity(unlike parental love, necessary for humans to grow, and erotic love, necessary for humans to reproduce), and not much of a marketable appeal (as opposed to the millions/billions of dollars worth of things sold to people trying to better their marriages or parenting skills), yet without such a form of love as friendship our societies would be unbearably dull and alienated from one another. One can love their friends as well as their "significant other", just not in the same way (the difference here is quality, not necessarily quantity). Friendships are not monogamous by necessity. Two people in a friendship don't need to exclude other people from their relationship. A friendship can best be thought of as two people side by side looking forward toward a common goal. It's an odd form of love in which people develop a relationship without relationship as a goal. Scientific achievements have come out of tight-knit friendships (Watson and Crick), as have works of literary genius (J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis), as well as victories in wars (due to the tight camaraderie and mutual trust of soldiers).
2. | Friendship | ||
True friendship is not when you go to school and hang around with someone just because you have no one else to chill with. Its not calling someone up when your bored because they are fun to talk to. Its not when you cant think of a birthday gift and end up buying your friend a wal-mart gift card. Is not when you have to talk to someone about something you don't particularly care about (like how much snow we got last year) to avoid an awkward silence.
Friendship is when you love someone with every ounce of your being and genuinely want them to be happy even if it means sacrificing something your self to make them happy. A true friend is someone you can talk to about your feelings, someone you can tell things you could never tell your family or even your partner. They are someone who you don't have to talk to but someone you want to talk to; someone you will go out of your way to be with. Friendship is when you love someone so much you want to hold them and never let go, someone you want to rest your head on and cry, and you would let them cry on you too. Its someone you can talk to about things you disagree on and end up being closer for that disagreement. Its when you think about someone and how close you are to them and how much you love them and you smile and are happy all over. Friendship is when your love for someone exceeds your need for them. (the Dali Lama said that)! Bill and Lisa are real friends. They are physically opposites, have completely different tastes and interests and see each other very infrequently. But they both know the other will be there for them no matter what, and that is friendship.

a relationship between two individuals that share a mutual bond of trust and liking as well as commitment and personal feelings and experiences, which allows them to benefit from each other. "A friend is one who walks in when others walk out" - a friendship quote

Two pals munching on a well-cooked face together. Paul: What? Why?
Carl: Because we're friends. And friendship is two pals munching on a well-cooked face together. Paul: That isn't friendship, Carl. That's sick. (Text Credit: Llamas With Hats by FilmCow) |
6. | Friendship | ||
A method of castrating men without using sharp objects. From David DeAngelo's article:
She looked at him with compassion in her eyes and said "Thank you... I really mean that... but I don't want to mess up our friendship... you're too important to me...". |
7. | friendship | ||
1.Friendship is like a relationship. Its just with a true friend instead of a companion.
2.It is also something that you should have with your companion. Your friendship with your true friend is different form the one you share with your companion.

There's a lot of Haters on here.
Hi, congratulations on getting the blue car 2 days ago. "Racing Stripes" will be a nice addition in about 34 more days. You are on your way. Have a great weekend. Your buddy, Warren :D
Of course, "Encana, the gas exploration company that owned the natural gas wells, disagreed vehemently." Which of the tobacco companies did not object to the study findings that tobacco was harmful and/or cancerous? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read your comment about CA liberals. Are you saying that Governor Brown is a liberal? He would probably be insulted.
Thanks! Now it is just a "good" daily habit. Your buddy, Warren :o)
Your buddy request is accepted and you are granted Full Access. Hope you have a great fall week in Atlanta. Your new buddy, Warren :-)
Your have a right to your opinion, even if it is solely as a result of listening to FAUX NEWS!
Is it come kind of joke.. absolutely.It is NOT happening.. It happened 22 years ago...FOR THE RECORD:The Senate ratified a treaty establishing the current maritime boundary between the U.S. and the Soviet Union (now Russia) on Sept. 16, 1991.READ THAT AGAIN if you CAN... SEPT. 16, 19911991!The vote was a lopsided 86 to 6. Alaska's senators, the late Ted Stevens and Frank Murkowski, both Republicans, voted in favor of ratification.
If not the EPA, then who will make sure our wells are kept clean? What are we to do now that fracking chemicals are routinely showing up in well water? Those of us whose wells are at stake wish you offered a more meaningful approach to get the fracking chemicals out of our well water. Any suggestions?

how do i figure out the answer to -2+4/5x=6
I need help with algebra.I dont get it.I guess i cut up in class alot
I need help with algebra.I dont get it.I guess i cut up in class alot
the -6 is smaller and above the u. the 2 is outside the parentheses and smaller.
I have tried to solve this for 20 minutes
Please explain the process not just the answer. Thank you!
y = x^2 -6x X 1 2 3 4 5 6
x^4 - x^3 + 8x - 8
Using a graph what is the solution to the eqation x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0?
i missed school because i was sick and missed how to do inequalities. I looked it up and it looks really confusing!!! Can you help!?!?!?!?
Another one is (6x-5 ) < (6/x) Do you solve for x on these the way that you would if it were an equal sign rather than <> signs?
simplify the expression
How do you solve this since there isn't a c? I need the vertex points (ie: (2,5)) I'm in the 8th grade (Algebra 1) and our teacher neglected to tell us how to do these.
A family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children) go to the movies and they pay $27.75. The group of 5 behind them (3 adults & 2 children) pay 32.25. Figure the cost per adult and per child. Show your work....
Solve |x| + 7 < 4. {x | x < -11 or x > -3} {x | -3 < x < 3} Ø
find the slope, if it exists, of the line containing the pair of points. (7,3) and (-8,3)
please only answer if it's free. i can't afford to hire a tutor. thank you for your time.
(-2, 1) y - 1/2x, -2y = -5x-12
What is the system of equations for these two and how do you find it?: y=x-3 and y=2x-5 Also these two?: 2x+y=-1 and y=-3 Thank you!
Solve 2+2=y algabraically
I am doing homework and this is the equation: y= -x -4 along with graph to chart it on. We are working on integer linear equations and graphing on charts. If you could help, it would clear some things...

The Anson County Commission approved financing on a new Emergency Services Center June 5.
The county approved borrowing up to $4,700,000 for the facility. The proposed financing will be secured by a lien on the center and its associated land as well as the county's promise to repay the money.
The facility would be 23,888 square feet and the County will also seek grants to pay for it.
Lawrence Gatewood said an examination of construction costs were roughly $150 per square foot which he said was "not out of line at all."
"There is good debt and bad debt," Commission Chairwoman Anna Baucom said. "Debt put me into a house and a car."
She said in 2006 the county had a debt of roughly $5.9 million or $255 per capita while in 2011 the debt was $800,000 or $32 per capita. This would raise debt to roughly $204 per capita.
Payments on the facility could range from 2.3 percent interest over 10 years or 4.9 percent interest over 20 years or 3.25 percent to 3.75 percent over 15 years.
Gatewood said the Commission did not plan to raise taxes during that time "but it might become necessary."
He discussed a series of measures the county hopes to use to improve revenues for the county, including raising the tax collection rate up from 92.68 percent, the current rate, to 95 percent, which was more common before the recession. He said a debt owed to Progress Energy will be paid off in 2015 and the county should start monetizing land owned by the county, after selling the timber on it. He also wants to continue selling old vehicles and equipment online.
Kenny Hildreth spoke during the public hearing saying that he thought the decision was made hastily and the Commission should be more prudent with tax dollars.
Gatewood said the county should know about the financing in August or September and ground could be broken in November.
Gatewood gave a brief presentation on the budget. The budget would be a total of $26,451,744 which is $1.8 million less than the 2011-2012 budget. Property taxes would stay the same at $0.767.
The budget would take $450,000 from the fund balance in order to balance the budget.
There would be $635,000 for capital projects including $183,250 for parking lot repair for South Piedmont Community College and roof repair of the Lockhart-Taylor Building, $150,000 to repair the facade of the Belk Building, $250,000 to renovate the interior of the courthouse and $70,000 for a new maintenance building at Little Park.
Anson County Schools would receive $3,775,880, the same amount as in 2011-2012. South Piedmont Community College requested $1.1 million and will receive $794,149, the same amount as 2011-2012. County employees will receive a 2.5 percent cost of living increase and the county would restore its contribution to 401k programs from two percent to three percent.
The Commission will hold a second public hearing on the budget June 21 at 6 p.m. A meeting to approve the budget is planned for June 22 at noon.
Sherri Knotts received permission to film a few scenes from a feature film in the Anson County Courthouse. The title of her film is "The Community". Filming would be July 21 and July 22. The movie features a trial and is about a politician with skeletons in his closet.
Aside from scenes in the courtroom, she also wants shots of the exterior courthouse and of the jury deliberating. She described the film as "family friendly" and expects a PG rating. Knotts is the owner of Knardirell & Company, a performing arts organization.
Former County Commissioner Neil Jones spoke to the Commission asking for a resolution about the board that governs mental health in Anson and other counties in the state. He said currently he and Commissioner Ross Streater have seats on the board but proposed legislation might reduce that number. The Commission approved a resolution asking for the county's representation on the board to stay at two people to be used as political leverage in the General Assembly.

You can find the rest after the break!

I'm pretty sure Applejack demonstrates how most people feel about Rubik's Cubes.
Haha, I can definitely see this happening, especially Twilight's, Rainbow's, and Pinkie's.
funny thing is i have my rubik's cube in front of me right now :P
+1000 points to the author for using actual algorithms and correct move notation.
...What? I regularly solve the cube. Im an afficionado.
My opinion towards Rubik's Cubes would be be the same as Applejacks and Rarity's
Ah, Rubik's Cubes, one of the many banes of my existence but as with everything, adding ponies makes it better.
The way Twilight did is probably the way I would have solved a rubix cube.
I never solved a rebix cube before! Hmm...
No Fluttershy its fine, It prefers to be unmixed up and no one minds you solving it.
I could see rarity being driven to the brink of insanity trying to solve one.
Well, the Cube is exactly the same in the first and last panel, so some people think she set it back up for others, exactly how she found it. So, maybe she's waiting for/hiding until someone else to tries it?
Oh Pinkie Pie, why you gotta be so damn cute! These were all great, and I agree most with Rarity on this one...fecking hate these damn cubes.
She was afraid she'd been messing with someone else's possession, so she made sure to put it back exactly the way she found it, and then hid.
I love these things, but i'm often acting like Rarity or Applejack after a while.
My response to the rubik's cube challenge was Twilight Sparkle's.
The results might be different if you challenged Rainbow Dash to do it faster than the world record.
Give Twilight this. (I can solve that).
Or these.
Oh, I used to be so into Twistypuzzles...
The Rubix Cube:
Just one of the many things my nation has invented.
Ponies + eveything: this is the way life shall go from now on!
Sorry, Sethisto, that's not DrForrester who did the work, these were drawn by The Kinky Turtle (he of "Pinkazoid" and "E/I" fame) and he's done two more:
Spike: http://d.facdn.net/art/kturtle/1313818459.kturtle_iygaparc07s.jpg
Ditzy "Derpy Hooves" Doo: http://d.facdn.net/art/kturtle/1313872296.kturtle_iygaparc08dd.jpg
I once thought about doing it like Rainbow Dash, then I was afraid I would break it, so I threw it aside like Applejack.
Well, at least that JUNG test has something going for it: both Rarity and I have NO PATIENCE FOR THOSE THINGS!
(Don't pretend you haven't taken it and gotten a stupid answer too. At least I got Luna every time I tried after that.)
Wow, Twilight's brought back a lot of old memories. I remember getting one of those cubes way back when I was in grade school; over 20 years ago. I saved up my allowance to get a book that showed you how to solve it, and yes, it used notations and diagrams just like Twilight used. I quickly made back my money by charging kids at school 50 cents to solve their cubes for them.
Of course, I couldn't solve one in a day if my life depended on it. Sigh.
so if tying a cherry stem in a not with your tongue makes you a good kisser whats that make pinkie.
Oh, and inb4 someone makes a 'Celestia sends the cube to the moon because she can't solve it' joke.
Rainbow dash's comic is awesome, the look on scootaloo's face is priceless!
Rainbow Dash's perfectly matched my discovery when I was a kid:)
Do/did you have a Twistypuzzles com or Speedsolving com account? Those are my most visited sites =D
I am DrForester over at Neogaf
I DID NOT MAKE THESE. I found these originally on the Pony-Goons forum.
Yea, wbwolf has it, that's Kturtle's work, zero idea who DrForester is. There's probably an error of info/judgement somewhere
These are really clever. I like the "different ponies perform the same task differently" theme.
These are hilarious. And the solutions are so true to each pony. Awesome job!
Hi, KTurtle here. Yup, I'm the one who drew these. Source: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6330619 is the first one, then follow the NEXT>>> links to see the rest.
Guess that's what I get for forgetting to sign them.
Although I did put the copyright info along the sides; take a close look.
I second AJ and Rarity's opinion. I used to think my sister was a freaking genius for solving these things until I found out she was cheating and doing it the way Rainbow Dash did.
Personally, I'd love to take the thing and shoot it into the center of the sun. Dumb puzzle!
KTurtle, Apologies for getting credit for your work. I just posted them on neoGAF without knowing who made them and never claimed to have made them. Just thought they were great and wanted to share. Awesome work :).
No, Pinkie's is wrong (in either sense of the word). She should start out twisting it normally and the last frame has it ending up with all sides in pink.
Oh my, this made me crack up so hard. Lol Scootaloo especially. XD
lulz at RDs, FUCKIN' SCOOTALOO
Fluttershys didn't make sense though, if it takes Twilight so long to figure it out, surely Fluttershy wouldn't be able to
Love these comics, though don't forget the Derpy one!
It's thanks to Fluttershy's freaky knowledge o' combinatorics! And her crippling self-consciousness, but that's a part o' who she is, sugarcube.
Twilight = Doing it right.
Fluttershy... well technically that counts. I also like how she manages to get it back in the same exact position she found it.
Pinkie = well, Pinkie.
As for the rest, good effort. At least they all tried first.
I definitely relate to AJ on this. But these are simply awesome! Fluttershy, too cute and funny. <3 Of course RD cheated, oi. Impressed orange chicken though. <3 And darnit Pinkie!
Of course, Twilight would be the one willing to learn the algorithms.
Fluttershy is afraid of anyone finding out she actually solved it, and thus, completely unsolved it to the exact state it was left in.
You can almost hear her *meep* when she realizes hat she's done in the 4th panel.
Yes, as Draconic, but I hardly ever visit anymore.
Look at what the faces of the Rubik's Cube spell out in the Derpy comic...
It's the letters that the non-white colors are forming: "DERP"
I laughed. A lot. ^_^
I used to play with those things in the 80s.
I still have one in my house.
And I can still solve it in less than 5 minutes. ^_^
I would of known Rainbow Dash would of done that.
I wonder what the Great and Powerful Trixie would have done.
huuurrr duuurrr now I see it :B
I guess that "muffins" was a little long to spell in rubik cubes, ah?
I...was not aware Pinkie's tongue was quite that...dextrous.
Ahhh KT Turtle, Frequent churner of Pony works, and good ones at that too. Yet another rousing success!
Also: I posess my own cube. More often than not I'm either Applejack, or Rarity. Can never seem to get more than two sides right. Only ever solved it once, purely by accident.
Wow go Fluttershy and Pinkie. Oh and Pinkie you got to clean up afterwards girl that was just disgustingly rude.
I'm a toss up of both Dash and AJ...... Usually, I start to get frustrated and start peeling the stickers off, and then half the time it ultimately FAILS, so I just throw it at the wall yelling how I just waisted ten seconds of my life.
@Rainbow Dash
Clearly she'd create a smokescreen illusion, quickly cast a freeze spell to break down the adhesive, magically levitate the stickers off and arrange them in the proper configuration, and then cast a light heat spell combined with a pressure encapsulation to reapply the stickers...
Bet her smoke screen would fade before she finished and she'd be booed out of Ponyville.
And boast the whole time... Forgot that part. The Great and Powerful Trixie will be The Great and Powerful Trixie after all!
New comic
Cutie Mark Crusaders: http://d.facdn.net/art/kturtle/1313903190.kturtle_iygaparc09cmc.jpg
There's a new one; Ditzy/Derpy completes one side but since her vision is not the best, she can't see that the others are still scrambled.
Okay, Twilight. You're so smart. Let's see what you make of the Rubik's Snake.
She does a little more than that with hers ;)
Fluttershy is best. Yes, Pinkie did it with her mouth*chuckle*, but Fluttershy solved it, then put it back EXACTLY how it was when she found it. That takes serious skill.
"You don't know where it's being Spike! You don't know where it's being! ahahaha" - in Tyler Durden voice
@wbwolf That gave me a good laugh. XD
Awesome work! Especially loved the Fluttershy one :p
LOL Scootaloo. Now she'll want a rubix cube cutie mark.
Also Fluttershy's is so cute. "Oh my, now nobody else can play! Oh Fluttershy, you're such a spoilsport!"
Spike is damned right, Twilight. Back in the kitchen, woman!
Rainbow didn't cheat! She solved the puzzle!
And I'm not a chicken!
And I have to add, the only way I've ever "solved" a Rubik's cube is using Dash's method (I tried Twilight's once (the "real" way) but it was too boring)
I once solved a Rubik's Cube using Rainbow Dash's method... it wasn't until halfway through putting it back together I found out it was broken.
I'm surprised that it was Rainbow Dash who solved it by taking it apart. I would have bet that Rarity would have done that. With all the dress making, she would be used to taking things apart like that.
Hahahahaha, brilliant! Reactions are pretty much what you'd expect from them.
*looks at a long forgotten drawer in the darkest corner of his room*
One day I will solve your riddles. I will get you! I swear I will !!!
(( Fluttershy made me laugh <3 ))
@Conner Cogwork: It sounds like you are making the same error Rarity is. Try treating the cube as a three-layer cake and solve it one layer at a time, (e.g. do the top, then the middle then the bottom).[0]
@Firleycat: While Rarity might figure out how to disassemble the cube, she would also likely consider it cheating. Dash, OTOH, is very likely to explode the cube while she is working on it[1].
[0] Try doing the following sequences on solved cubes:
[1] I would not let her come anywhere near my speed cube. It is prone to exploding at the best of times because I loosened the screws to allow it to turn easier.
Twilights face when she solves it is awsome, i can really see Dash solving it like that, same with pinkie. Poor fluttershy though. Pretty sure me attempting to solve a Rubiks cube would just end up with a few million of them being sent to the moon, never had the patience.
Oh my god, these are all totally dead on! I love Twilight's expression when she's finished (a tad sleep deprived there?) and Dash and Pinkie's methods seem like they're right out of the show.
Next time someone is writing a comedy and needs a brief "what would x pony do in y situation?" summary, they should look at this comic.
Kinkyturtle's still at it, folks! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6358283/
LOL. I love these types of puzzles in 2-d but I can't handle the cubes. But I have TOTALLY "solved" a Rubik's cube by taking the stickers off before XD
Unfortunately, they never stick back on as well as they were stuck originally.....
AJ: Ah confound 'em yer fancy mathematics!
Twi: Just after I write a short book about this, Spike.
RD: (How does she do that with hooves?)
Fluttershy: wat.
Pinks: WAT!?
Spike: Why did I had to go AFTER Pinkie Pie?
Twilight I was. Fluttershy I am.
Appejack was my past.
Rainbow Dash was my modus operandi then.
I once had to act fast
To save from a pinkie fate
from my cousin aged 8
^Wrote that in one go, and I shall take its fail.
also, I have my 4*4*4 right here next to me.
The Great and Powerful Trixie's turn:
http://d.facdn.net/art/kturtle/1313990386.kturtle_iygaparc11gpt.jpg (direct)
Also, if Seth or Cereal are reading this, KT asks if you could link him in correctly to his FA account (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kturtle/)
My friend gave me one of these for my birthday. I'm taking Twilight's approach to solving the damn thing.
I'm going to throw out a couple of guesses regarding other characters trying their hoof (or horn) at the puzzle:
Big Macintosh: Solves it in no time, says it was easy, leaves his sisters speechless.
Princess Celestia: Loses her patience with it and sends it to the moon.
Princess Luna: Solves it in no time, thinks it was too easy, makes 4D version.
Yes, there are software implementations of 4D and higher analogues of the Rubik's cube puzzle (and yes, they have been solved). There are also programs which implement similar puzzles based around other shapes, too.
Magic Cube 4D can serve as a starting point for these... exotic puzzles.
Hehe, Loved them all.
I don't quite follow Fluttershy's logic in fearing the cube though, she kicked it square ass, why is she scared?
@Chaos Knux I think it's because she thought after solving it that someone wanted it all messed up, and that by 'fixing' it she'd done something wrong. That or KT's version of Fluttershy is even more withdrawn than the show's version.
And good on Rainbow Dash for calling out that phony Trixie!
Wow Pinkie solves the cube the same way I do, although it works better for her
I think that Fluttershy remembered that she is out of character so she reshuffles the cube and pretends to be scared.
Oh twilight! ^_^
I wanna see how Celestia and Luna does! <3
@Rohit Eligeti Celestia will send it to the moon after she can't solve it "Just like that last one 998 years ago" and when when Luna sees it, she flips and destroys it. Because after you spent 998 years trying to solve one d*mn Rubiks Cube and never figured it out, you never want to see one again.
Solved with mouth?
It looks like Pinkie Pie can...
*puts on sunglasses*
Yes "sisters". Applejack and Applebloom.
She didn't want to get in trouble for changing the cube or something. XD
It's funny I never realized my mistake until tow seconds after I posted it.

Irving out again tonight against Raptors
Kyrie Irving will not play tonight when the Cavs return home to host the Toronto Raptors. It's the second consecutive game Irving has missed with a hyperextended right knee. He also missed Tuesday's victory at Chicago.
Irving banged knees with Omri Casspi in practice last week. He tried playing through the soreness over the weekend in games at Orlando and Miami, but was shut down by the team's medical staff.

Final thoughts: Cavs 101, Bulls 98
CHICAGO: Final thoughts from a stunning win and a surprisingly successful road trip...
* Byron Scott told the players before this trip that they should take 2 out of 3. Remember, one of those games was against the defending champs and another was against a team that has destroyed the Cavs every game over the last three seasons.

Cavs end 11-game losing skid to Bulls with 101-98 win without Irving
CHICAGO: Kyrie Irving was dressed in a suit and sitting at the end of the Cavaliers' bench, so coach Byron Scott turned to rookie Dion Waiters and handed him the ball.
In return, Waiters delivered a big night and a rare win against a Chicago Bulls team that has routinely pounded the Cavs the last three seasons.

Kyrie Irving shut down with knee injury, won't play tonight vs. Bulls
CHICAGO: Kyrie Irving has a hyperextended right knee and won't play tonight when the Cavaliers face the Chicago Bulls. He is listed as day to day moving forward and is questionable for tomorrow's home game against the Toronto Raptors.
Irving banged knees with teammates in practice before departing on this three-game road trip. He tried playing through it during the two games in Florida, but didn't look like himself and shot 10 of 29 in the two games. He said after the Miami game the knee was affecting his game, so the medical staff decided to shut him down. Shaun Livingston will start tonight at point guard.

MIAMI: Final thoughts from another one that got away against the Heat...
* I don't want to put this loss on Alonzo Gee, but he didn't play well in the game's final minutes, and every mistake guys make is magnified in the final possessions of close games.

Cavs lose late lead again, fall to Heat 109-105
MIAMI: Dwayne Wade scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and the Cavaliers lost to the Miami Heat 109-105 on Sunday after leading late in the fourth quarter for the second time in as many games here this season.
The Cavs rallied from a pair of 20-point deficits. After trailing by 22 early in the third, thie Cavs rallied to take an 81-80 lead entering the fourth and led by eight before Wade and LeBron James took over.

Final thoughts: Cavs 118, Magic 94
ORLANDO, FLA.: Final thoughts from the most lopsided road victory of the season...
* Those who follow the Magic insist they're going to make a run at the Cavs' historic 26-game losing streak -- and they just might. They've lost 28 of 31 and they traded away one of their best players in J.J. Redick at Thursday's trade deadline. Of their final 26 games, 21 of them are against teams headed to the playoffs.

Cavs drill Magic 118-94 for second-biggest win of the season
ORLANDO, FLA.: Tyler Zeller scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds in his best game in weeks and the Cavaliers pounded the struggling Orlando Magic 118-94 on Saturday.
It was the second-most lopsided win of the season and the biggest road victory. It was also the Cavs' second win in as many games since the All-Star break, while the Magic have lost 28 of their last 31 games.

No deal for Cavs as trade deadline passes
INDEPENDENCE: The Cavs remained silent as the NBA's 3 p.m. trade deadline passed quietly on Thursday. It was one of the rare years when the Cavs failed to complete a deal at the trade deadline.
It's the first time the Cavs haven't made a trade at the deadline since 2009.

Irving scores 20 in fourth quarter to key 105-100 win over Hornets
CLEVELAND: Ninety minutes before tip-off Wednesday night, a bleary-eyed Kyrie Irving pulled a t-shirt over his head and stood up in front of his locker. He said he was still tired from All-Star weekend and looked as if he just awoken from a nap.

Irving scores 15 points, but East loses All-Star game 143-138
HOUSTON: Kyrie Irving is widely considered a top-three point guard already and one day soon may even surpass Chris Paul as the league's best. But for now, the league still belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers' star.
Irving played well in his All-Star debut, but Paul had 20 points and 15 assists to earn his first Most Valuable Player award in the West's 143-138 victory in Sunday's All-Star game.

Tristan Thompson comes out a winner, Cavs total 79 points in Rising Stars game
HOUSTON: Kyrie Irving played the big minutes he was expecting, busted some ankles and wowed the crowd. But he couldn't pull off another victory in Friday's Rising Stars Challenge.
Irving had 32 points, two shy of his MVP performance last year, and Dion Waiters had 23 points, but Team Shaq was blasted by Team Chuck 163-135 on Friday. That made a winner out of Tristan Thompson, who was the lone Cavs representative on Team Chuck. Thompson finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

LeBron James avoids the Cleveland question at All-Star media day

Bosh will start, Irving will come off the bench at All-Star game
HOUSTON: Kyrie Irving won't get a chance to start the All-Star game after all. As expected, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is starting Chris Bosh in place of the injured Rajon Rondo in Sunday's All-Star game.
Despite needing a point guard, Spoelstra elected to start his own power forward to give the Heat three starters in Sunday's game. LeBron James will shift from small forward to point guard.

Final thoughts: Spurs 96, Cavs 95

Cavs fall to Spurs 96-95 on Leonard's 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left
CLEVELAND: Kawhi Leonard's wide open 3-pointer from the corner with 2.9 seconds left gave the San Antonio Spurs a stunning 96-95 win over the Cavaliers, sending them tumbling into the All-Star break carrying a three-game losing streak.
Dion Waiters gave the Cavs a 95-93 lead with 9.5 seconds left when he hit a big jumper on a night Kyrie Irving struggled through one of his worst nights as a pro. Irving had a season-low 6 points and shot a season-low 2 of 15 and was a bystander in the corner when Waiters hit the go-ahead jumper.

Cavs fall to wounded Timberwolves 100-92
CLEVELAND: The Cavs' defense crumbled in the second half and an injury-ravaged team walked into Quicken Loans Arena and embarrassed the Cavs for the second time in as many weeks.
Luke Ridnour scored 13 points in the fourth quarter and the Cavs lost to the hapless Minnesota Timberwolves 100-92 on Monday. It was just the Timberwolves' third win in their last 18 games and it ended an eight-game road losing streak.

Cavs prepared to offer Greg Oden two year contract with option for third year
The Cavs are expected to offer free agent center Greg Oden a two-year contract with a team option for a third year after the Feb. 21 trade deadline passes, a league source said. The contract would begin immediately.
The Cavs have about $4 million in cap space, which they are preserving now for potential trades. Teams around the league don't want to sign Oden until after the trade deadline.
Oden has visited with the Boston Celtics and could meet again with the Cavs in the coming weeks, his agent said Friday.
Oden is living nearby in Columbus. His agent, Mike Conley Sr., said last week Oden has been to see the Cavs a couple of times already, but was evasive when pressed as to what capacity.
"Greg has been up there (to Cleveland) before and he'll probably be up there again in an official capacity," Conley said Friday.
Do you want the Cavs to sign Greg Oden?
Irving will participate in 3-point shootout, play on Team Shaq during All-Star weekend
Kyrie Irving was one of six players selected for the 3-point shootout during All-Star weekend. In a bit of a surprise, he was selected third overall in the draft between Team Shaq and Team Chuck for the Rising Stars game.
Irving will now participate in the Rising Stars game on Friday, the 3-point shootout on Saturday and the All-Star game on Sunday.

Cavs pound Bobcats 122-95 for most lopsided win since James days
CLEVELAND: Kyrie Irving spent the fourth quarter Wednesday relaxing at the end of the Cavs bench, a towel draped over his head and cracking jokes with the rest of the team's starters.
It was a strange but familiar feeling for the Cavs, who haven't enjoyed a victory this easy since LeBron James played his home games at the Q.

Cavs held closed-door meeting after dismal loss to Pistons
INDEPENDENCE: Byron Scott was so angry after Friday's lackluster loss to the Detroit Pistons he closed the door to the locker room and held an impromptu meeting with the players and staff.
It's the first time in his three years as coach of the Cavs that Scott held a team meeting after the game. It's also the same night Irving said he was "disinterested" in the second and third quarter of the game.

Final thoughts: Cavs 115, Thunder 110
CLEVELAND: Final thoughts following one of the Cavs' finest performances of the season...
* Nights like this allow me to reiterate why I think the Cavs are closer to relevance than their record indicates. They've now beaten the Thunder and Clippers, two of the three best teams in the powerful Western Conference. They lost in the final minutes to New York, Brooklyn, Miami and Memphis -- all on the road. So while their 14-34 record is horrendous, they've been competitive until the end against the league's very best.

* This might sound hypocritical of me, since I'm the one holding the tape recorder and asking the questions and looking for the catchy responses. But Kyrie Irving can't come out after a game and say he was "disinterested." Not even for a minute. I applad his honesty, but it's going to get him killed publicly.

text: 2013I had the wonderful opportunity to take a walk in the park with JoAnne. After warming up to my camera, she felt comfortably relaxed . Sometimes people aren't sure what will happen during one of my photo shoots. I just tell them about capturing the life and personality of my subject. It's easy to get someone to pose like this, put your arm like that, move your chin here, and smile like that. When you capture images of a person, you're not thinking about the last person you photographed, those same poses. You think about the person right in front of you. You think about what makes them smile, what makes them sad, and you bring that out of them. I love to see what's inside of people and to have them reveal it to me. If you love my style, don't hesitate about contacting me about setting up your photographic revelation.

Glaucoma describes a group of eye disorders that causes damage to the optic nerve. This degenerative eye disease is one of the leading causes of chronic blindness in the US.
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma in the United States. Within the eye, fluid is made and then drained from the eye. If either the fluid is made too quickly (not common) or drains too slowly, then the pressure of the eye can increase, leading to damage to the optic nerve.
This damage to the optic nerve can lead to a decrease in peripheral vision and may eventually cause blindness.
Open-angle glaucoma can often be controlled well with proper treatment, and most patients who receive treatment will maintain their vision.
The exact cause of open-angle glaucoma is unknown. However, factors that play a role in causing the disease include:
- Older age—Aging may cause the aqueous humor to drain or be absorbed less efficiently.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The following factors increase your chance of developing open-angle glaucoma:
- Family history of glaucoma
- Glaucoma in one eye—This increases the risk of developing glaucoma in the other eye.
- Increased intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye)
- Ethnic background—African Americans and Hispanics are at a greater risk of glaucoma.
- Diabetes
- Injury to the eye
- Certain eye abnormalities (eg, congenital defects)
Many patients with open-angle glaucoma experience few or no symptoms until the disease has progressed to the very late stages. Other symptoms may include:
- Loss of peripheral vision
- Tunnel vision
- Blindness
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam.
Tests may include the following:
- Eye exam with pupil dilation
- Tonometry —a test to determine intraocular pressure
- Visual field test to determine vision loss
- Slit lamp examination
- Photographs of the optic nerve
- Examining the outflow channels of the angle (gonioscopy)
- Analysis of the nerve fiber layer around the optic nerve
The goal of treatment is to reduce intraocular pressure. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
- Medications—Eye drops, and rarely pills, are often administered to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Laser treatment—Laser treatment may be used to reduce intraocular pressure in some people.
- Surgery—Surgery may be done to open a new outflow channel from the eye.
Open-angle glaucoma cannot be prevented, but treatment can reduce the risk of vision loss. To help reduce your chance of vision loss caused by open-angle glaucoma, proper treatment of the condition is necessary. Since most people don't have any symptoms of having glaucoma, regular eye examinations are extremely important, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent vision loss.

Mariners, Felix Hernandez agree on record-breaking contract
PEORIA, Ariz. — Felix Hernandez and Seattle reached agreement Tuesday on a contract that is expected to make the Mariners ace the highest-paid pitcher in baseball.
"I think it's a great thing for the Seattle Mariners," Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said. "It's a great thing for Felix Hernandez, and looking forward to this guy being here for a very long time, obviously."
Hernandez's deal is expected to be for $175 million over seven years. Terms of the contract were not released by the team. Hernandez and Zduriencik will hold a news conference in Seattle on Wednesday afternoon where Hernandez is expected to sign the contract.
Earlier Tuesday, Zduriencik said the sides were having significant talks to try to finalize a new contract for the three-time All-Star and 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner. Zduriencik said then that a deal of that magnitude in years and dollars, "takes time to work things out."
It didn't take too long. By the afternoon, Hernandez's deal was done and Seattle had its ace locked up through the 2019 season.
The new contract will encompass the final two years of his current deal that is scheduled to pay Hernandez $40.5 million in 2013 and 2014. He'll receive $134.5 million over the additional five years.
Hernandez's total dollars would top CC Sabathia's original $161 million, seven-year contract with the New York Yankees and his $25 million average would surpass Zack Greinke's $24.5 million under his new contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and tie him for the second-highest in baseball with Josh Hamilton and Ryan Howard behind Alex Rodriguez ($27.5 million). Hernandez's new money would average $26.9 million over five years.
With Hernandez off the market, Detroit's Justin Verlander and the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw become the most attractive pitchers eligible for free agency after the 2014 season. Tampa Bay's David Price is eligible after the 2015 season.
Hernandez, who will turn 27 on April 8, is 98-76 with a 3.22 ERA in eight seasons with the Mariners. He won a career-high 19 games in 2009 when he finished second in the Cy Young voting then won the award a year later when he went just 13-12 but had a 2.27 ERA and 232 strikeouts. Continued...
Hernandez appeared to be making another Cy Young push last year before going 0-4 in his last six starts, which left him at 13-9 with 223 strikeouts.
His career record would be even better if he didn't play with one of baseball's worst offenses. Seattle had the lowest batting average in the major leagues in each of the last three seasons. Hernandez has taken 10 losses during that span when he's given up two earned runs or less.
For his career, Hernandez has allowed two earned runs or less in 141 of 238 starts, but the team is only 99-42 in those games due to the offensive problems.

Many of those who hit the streets on Friday did so to rail against Morsy, a former Muslim Brotherhood leader. At one point, Morsy declared himself immune from judicial oversight and pushed through a new constitution, actions his critics say were reminiscent of Mubarak.
On Sunday, the president said some demonstrators' violent "behavior does not have anything to do with the Egyptian revolution. ... In fact, it is against the revolution."
At the same time, he acknowledged the legitimate dissent in Egypt, as well as its impact on the country, and said "dialogue is the only way to bring about stability and security."
To this end, he invited representatives from 11 political parties to a meeting Monday. His spokesman, Yasir Ali, told state-run Nile TV that this meeting "is meant to address problems in Egypt, as opposed to express anger."
It's a sentiment that Morsy himself expressed a short time earlier, saying dialogue amongst various Egyptians was the only way for the country to reach peace and prosperity.
"We are going that way, all together," he said. "God bless Egypt, and make her safe for her people and the whole world."
Troops try to restore calm in Port Said
Roads in and out of Port Said, which sits along the Mediterranean Sea at the northern entrance of the Suez Canal, were shut down Sunday as authorities tried to maintain calm after the previous day's bloodshed.
It all stemmed from a February 1, 2012, riot at the close of a match between Cairo's prestigious Al-Ahly football club and the host Al-Masry team.
That day, 73 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in violence between supporters of the two teams. Many died falling from bleachers inside the stadium, while others suffocated.

A pro-same sex marriage group said Thursday they would begin airing a new television ad after their first spot featuring Laura Bush supporting marriage rights drew backlash from the former first lady.
"We used public comments for this ad from American leaders who have expressed support for civil marriage," a spokesperson for the Respect for Marriage Coalition said. "We appreciate Mrs. Bush's previous comments but are sorry she didn't want to be included in an ad. The ad launched a public education campaign that will now move to new and different voices that reflect the depth and breadth of our support."
The group's new ad will feature a Republican military veteran who supports same-sex marriage rights. The group says after Friday, the new commercial will begin airing and the spot featuring Bush will stop.
Bush, who is one of three prominent Republicans featured in the spot, asked the ad's creator to remove the portion of the ad that features a 2010 CNN interview where she comes out in support of gay marriage rights.
The advocacy commercial aired yesterday on CNN but was replaced by another spot Thursday at the request of the advertiser.
A statement from Bush's spokeswoman Anne MacDonald said the former first lady "did not approve of her inclusion in this advertisement nor is she associated in any way with the group that made the ad."
"When she became aware of the advertisement Tuesday night, we requested that the group remove her from it," MacDonald said.
The spot features Bush speaking in a 2010 CNN interview with Larry King.
"When couples are committed to each other and love each other then they ought to have the same sort of rights that everyone has," she is shown saying.
Those remarks came as a surprise at the time, since she appeared to be breaking ranks on the issue with her husband, former President George W. Bush. In 2011, her daughter Barbara appeared in a television spot for another pro-gay marriage group, the Human Rights Campaign.

Windows Phone featured in Coronation Street
In the second part of Coronation Street (a popular British TV soap) that aired this evening (8:30pm), we can clearly see a Nokia Lumia 800 being held by the actor with a beautiful camera shot to show off calendar functionality. At about 21:20 in, we see the product placement. You can check out the episode on ITV Player (link below), but be aware that ITV loves advertisements.
Source: ITV Player
There are 12 comments. Sign in to commentmjenabi2 says:
if this was a product placement, what a waste of money. people who watch that show cant tell what phone it is or what OS for that matter.
Binson#WP says:
Perhaps it will make people inquire and look up what it is since it doesn't look like iOS/Android.
Reaction80 says:
I can see the meeting now.... 'So guys, WP7 is a cool, ultra-modern and stylish UI - what TV show could we place it in that would mirror these values?'... 'I know!! Corrie!'... Saying that though it's nice to see it out and about.
jleebiker says:
Why the negative comments??? Its EXPOSURE!!! I expect some people asking "What phone was THAT??" Its a good thing!
Reaction80 says:
Chill dude.... Wasn't being negative, just having a Corrie related joke. As I also said, it's nice to see the phone out there.
Popple3 says:
Isn't product placement illegal in the UK? Which would mean neither Nokia or Microsoft paid for it, it was basically just chosen as a prop.
Reaction80 says:
No it's allowed now. There have been ads telling us that recently. They have to show some kinda special icon on the screen to tell us that product placement is imminent but yeah, it's allowed.
kevgallacher says:
Product placement isn't illegal, ofcom controls it and tgey recently relaxed rules concerning product placement. BBC aren't allowed as that is paid for by the public.
rOIVAz says:
This is the second time I've noticed them using WP on Corrie - a few weeks ago Leanne took a call in the pub and they showed the tiles when she took the phone away from her ear [though she was blatantly not on a call]. I did film it on my Omnia but forgot to upload it to Youtube or post here.
I *think* the show has a Nokia product placement deal rather than a Windows Phone one since all phones on the show appear to be theirs, even the dumbphones.
And so endeth my Corrie-watching shame.

Trying to outfit a new bedroom in the basement. Found this gray & yellow comforter, shams and a gray bedskirt. But our walls are beige. Will it work with beige walls or should I repaint a different color; ie., gray? (really don't wanna) I probably will make roman shades for the window. Any suggestions for color? Should I stick with a solid? Also, plan on making a headboard? Color suggestion? Gray? Black? Here's a collage pic that might help.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nance425, | |||
I think it looks nice with the beige walls. Is this going to be an extra bedroom? | ||||
I would paint the walls a pretty grey shade. | ||||
Yes, this is a guest room (mostly family) in the basement we are finishing... | ||||
If it were me, I'd either look for another comforter that works more harmoniously with the existing wall color OR use the gray as pulled from the comforter for the walls (same family, different hue value if needed) if the rooms have abundant natural light OR yellow (as pulled from the comforter...hue value can vary) if the rooms are limited in natural light. That's just me tho. The good news is that the walls are a neutral now, but I feel your gray/yellow bedding is not providing enough contrast against the beige walls. In other words, things appear washed out...at least as depicted on my monitor. | ||||
Froo - the room has lots of natural light. It appears darker because of the flash. Here's a better pic of the comforter against the beige walls. Would you go with the darker color grey or lighter? | ||||
I like gray and beige together but I hate beige and yellow as a combo. Just MHO. | ||||
I agree with the comment re. the unlikely marriage of beige and yellow. RE. the shade of gray, view chips that closely match the gray of the comforter in the room's lighting conditions. Opt for the one that provides noticeable contrast and remains in the same family of gray as that in the bedding print. | ||||
Practical person that I am, I would find another comforter in a better colour rather than go to the trouble of painting. Even the lightest grey can be gloomy in a basement too. Don't get me wrong, I adore grey in a well lit room. | ||||
Nance, I'm not a fan of the color-mix and would look for a different bedding set. Good luck with your re-do! ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
I agree with most others.... Like the paint color but not the bedding. | ||||
Since the question you asked concerns changing the paint color, not changing the bedding, I'll try to concentrate on that! I'd try to find a nice yellow color for the walls. But I can't offer a suggestion because I'm still trying to find the right yellow for my own bedroom!!!!! | ||||
If you truly love the bedding, I'd have to say, repaint the walls. I agree that yellow and beige definitely do not like each other. There are so many grays out there now that I'm sure you can find one, that is if you choose to repaint. Wanda | ||||
The question is, do you love the bedding more than you hate the idea of repainting? | ||||
I would go with a soft soft grey wall. SW has nice grey colors. I just painted a bedroom in one of their colors. | ||||
ok, ok, I took the comforter back. I told DH the consensus here seemed to be to find another comforter that works better with the wall color rather than paint. He said y'all were very smart people! He wasn't a fan of the comforter. But it's been very hard to find something that's reasonably priced for a bedroom that will not get used very much. If anyone comes across something, I would love to take a look. Trying to keep it around $50-75, if possible. ??? Thanks again for all of your suggestions! | ||||
When all else fails, there is always WHITE. | ||||
Love, Lu - thought about that. But it's so boring and gives me no "inspiration." | ||||
What about this comforter? http://www.bedbathandbeyond.co...oduct.asp?SKU=202714 | ||||
nance, with your tan walls and white trim, white bedding will offer a fresh, crisp look to the bedroom, perfect year 'round. An all-white bed can be dressed up or down with throws and pillows in accent colors and patterns, according to the season or just because. You even use subtly patterned sheets with the white bedding. Check these out from Ballard Designs: http://www.ballarddesigns.com/...ibvalue=&listIndex=3 Here's an image I found that might give you some ideas or inspiration. | ||||

Wow, you guys...you're great! I love so many of them. Aychihuahua, I love that quilt. Froo, I didn't even think about checking at Target. I really like that blue and brown one (2nd one). That first one is REALLY bold. This message has been edited. Last edited by: nance425, | ||||

Saving More with Carpets
March 4th, 2013 Posted 8:24 am
Carpets are a wonderful addition to one's home. With its ability to partially sound proof a room and the comfort it brings to an owner, these textile floor coverings are surely off the hook when it comes to ornamenting the house. However, with all these benefits come many downsides: carpets, if not maintained properly, can be a repository of dust and whatnot. It is therefore an onus for owners with these floor rugs to regularly maintain them by having them vacuumed clean at least twice a month. Owners are also advised to splurge on no-stain floor coverings. To avoid incurring more expenses in the long run, potential buyers can also opt to subscribe to lifetime replacements and avoid cheap carpets to stave off any huge expenses in the future.
Seeking professional advice can help one save money when choosing for the perfect carpet. If one purchases the carpet from an independent shop, he is highly advised to consult with the special retailer and check if whether the shop is registered with the Carpet Foundation. Members of such foundation are required to adhere to OFT-approved code of practice by giving professional advice to customers. If one opts to choose his own fitter for installation of the carpet, one must be sure that such fitter is a member of the National Institute of Carpet and Floorlayers. These measures must be observed to ensure the proper installation of the floor covering hence avoiding gaps, bumps and tracks on the carpet. In choosing a fitter, one must look for additional services they offer like clearing of the room, door trimming, checking and fixing of loose floorboards and many more.
Again, just like any bargain, when one spots a suitable carpet for his home, he should not be afraid to haggle for the best price and fitting in each store. Being afraid to negotiate can cost a person more money.
