Great post, Laimbrane. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me which players the Pistons could have picked up instead of paying Prince and Stuckey. I agree that they're overpaid, but WHO, specifically would you have targeted? It appears to me that Joe looked at back-court players in the upcoming draft and free agency, and decided that he would have a hard time doing any better than Stuckey. I kind of agree with him. Even if there is a player who could be an improvement, there's no reason why that player would want to come to Detroit, other than money. Then we'd be talking about how Joe overpaid on THAT guy. As for the players who we missed out on, what is the name of is this young rebounder/shot blocker who Joe passed on in order to sign Stuckey and Prince? What is the name of is this young, stud wing who Joe passed on in order to sign Stuckey and Prince? Just because we need a certain kind of player doesn't mean that it was possible to acquire him. It's the same kind of defective thinking that Lee uses to evaluate our roster. It's the same as the erroneous belief in that whatever the team currently lacks is available on the bench. It's the belief that all of our problems stem from players not "being used correctly by an idiot coach". "We wouldn't be so bad if our idiot GM just acquired the right players!", Pistons fans scream. It's the same thinking that led Lions fans to believe that the best quarterback on the team was the one not playing. Lions backup quarterbacks were the most popular players in town for decades, even though they sucked even worse than the guy stinking it up on the field. It's the same thinking that Lions fans use when they demand that the organization draft a certain player in order to "Fill a need". Well, if that player isn't better than what you've already got, then you haven't "filled a need" by simply drafting a guy who plays a position of need. It's my understanding that Stuckey's contract isn't fully guaranteed. If he severely under-performs, then we can get out early, or trade him to someone seeking to shave payroll. Prince's contract will be an asset in it's final year. It takes a couple of years to rebuild, unless you get insanely lucky, and we're stuck in the middle of it. Other than swinging and missing on Chucky G and Gordon, I'm not sure anything we could have done over the last few years could have saved us from this.
I agree wholeheartedly. It's the "grass has to be greener somewhere" mentality that affects all sports fans of all terrible teams. It's born of frustration and too much over-identification with the team itself. It's that "we" philosophy, where a fan attaches himself emotionally to the team and wraps his or her sense of self up in the success of that team. This is why we hate Yankees and Red Sox and Lakers fans - they seem to think that they're somehow better than the rest of the sports world because they follow a particular team. What we forget is that the same is true at every level of play, from the pros all the way down to high school. It's that tribal instinct bred into us by billions of years of evolution - support your tribe, because they are who you are. Now, lacking an actual tribe, we pick tribes to join and become defenders of them, somewhat arbitrarily. I'm not actually from Detroit and I'm sure Greg Monroe wouldn't give a flying crap about me if he met me in the street, but I follow the Pistons and root for them to succeed. There are guys out there that believe deep down that wearing a jersey to a game makes them part of the team. There's no logical reason for it, but that emotional attachment makes us all irrational at times; if the alpha male sucks, he needs to be replaced, regardless of whether there's actually a better alpha male available. The team sucks, we need a new coach. My job sucks, I need a new boss. I have no job, so we need a new President. It's always "this sucks, replace it." There's never any acknowledgement of the very real possibility that things could actually get worse, even though we Pistons fans should have a very good understanding of it, having watched the Pistons go from Rick Carlisle to Larry Brown to Flip Saunders to Michael Curry to John Kuester. The reality is that the Pistons have what they have, and it's a flawed team. Stuckey and Prince are actually not bad players. They're not superstars, but that's okay; superstars are hard to find - that's why they're called superstars. They'll hold the fort down adequately for a couple years while the Pistons rebuild. A lot of the guys on this team are overpaid, but they're not on Gilbert Arenas-type deals that are going to be killing the team in three years, either. I would love to be a GM, but I know I would suck at it. It's easy to sit here and say "that isn't working" or "fix this," but if it were that easy, the job wouldn't pay much. Dumars has been a pretty good GM. Like all GMs he's made some good moves and some bad ones, but unlike all GMs he built a championship team. Everyone rags on the Darko pick, but nobody didn't think he was a top 3 pick - the question was between him and Anthony. Other than that, he's drafted well relative to the Pistons drafting position, but failed to hang on to many of those players (Okur, Delfino, AA included) not because he's an idiot, but because he couldn't afford to pay them money they knew they deserved to play backup roles while the team ran with its core. I wanted them to keep Okur over Sheed, but it's not like he could have kept both, and it kinda worked out. I didn't want them to trade Billups for Iverson (and certainly not in a package with AA), but he knew the team needed a new direction and leadership. What nobody could have predicted was how badly Iverson worked with Curry and how vital Billups was to that locker room. His widely-acknowledged major flaw is his coaching hires, but even those are hated more than they should be. I hated his hiring of Curry and Kuester, but it sounds like Davis didn't want to spring for an expensive coach like Avery Johnson, so he had to do what he could and gambled on some guys with no resume. It didn't work; c'est la vie. Frank seems like a good coach, but it's easy to want someone else - he doesn't look like he should be anywhere near a professional basketball court. It's the Dennis Kucinich syndrome - he's short and scrawny and people are just too affected by appearance to follow him, even if he would win a blind taste test from the majority of the population every day of the week. The truth is that he knows basketball better than all of us put together, works harder than anyone else in the sport, communicates well with his players, and is trying to build a decent team out of the scrap-heap of the Goin' to Work era without any of the following: a) an offseason b) in-season practices to instill his system, c) go-to scorers, d) clutch shooters, e) actual point guards, f) lock-down perimeter defenders, g) intimidating interior defenders, or h) spiritual leaders. His team sucks, but it's not because of him. Nobody gives him credit for degree of difficulty. Why? Because he looks like a Keebler Elf. The Pistons will be fine, and they will be back in the playoffs in a year or two with Joe as their GM and Frank as their coach. Guaransheed.
Thats why GM's get paid the big bucks. Who saw Ben Wallace back in 2001? Who would have thought Corliss would be sixth man? Billups in 2003? Its like in 2001 if he had reupped Christian Laittner and someone challenged us to name someone better. I don't pretend to know the answers, I just do not like the current solution.
What makes Prince contract terrible isn't that he's overpaid this season, or perhaps next, but that he's signed for 4 years and he's not getting younger. It's not possible since the contract is signed after the new CBA but if it were I'd rather amnesty him over CAS or Bengo. Stuckey is overpaid but his contract looks alot more tradable to me when taking into account his age and contract length so I don't really mind that signing.
Remember that one of, or maybe the biggest reason the owner didn't want to spend a lot for a new coach is that they were still paying the last one who was also fired.
I have to admit that I don't know the answers either...at one point I thought Pepe Sanchez was our point guard of the future. I thought Cheikh Samb was a diamond in the rough. I thought it was just the first of many three pointers for Will Blalock. I was one of the only fans I know who owned a Charles OBannon jersey. I think we have to be patient and stick with the current solution. I like the coach and I like the enthusiasm I've seen recently from the young guys. I can see the beginning of something building here.
I did. The detnews.com posts prove it. I watched Ben Wallace with the Wizards. I watched a whole season of him, back when he was skinny. I called him a shot-blocking Dennis Rodman. When everybody wanted Jeff Mcginnis, I called for Billups. I just watched him tear up Nash in the playoffs. It was a no brainer. I also was the only person on that board to be extatic about the Stack/Rip trade. Corliss was always a sixth man. That's why Sactown moved him when they had Webber. As much as I hated Nasty tearing up Juwan Howard in the tourney (I was a big Fab-Five fan), I knew that he had a place in the league. That place was as a scorer off of the bench. Big Nasty... what a great Piston. I'm not saying that I'm a NBA genius. I'm not. I danced when we drafted Darko. I really liked Terrico White. I actually thought that Brian Williams could make us into a contender, God rest his soul (He was a nice guy who didn't deserve that). I thought that Arroyo could be a solid reserve PG. I've advocated for Daye, which is making me look like a complete azzhole. I really liked Delfino. Although Delfino has resurrected his career, he wasn't the 17 point scorer that I thought he would be. The list of my blown calls is available for anyone with a computer. My point is... nobody is right all of the time, but if you go through the thought process, you can maximize your odds. To be successful in this life, you have to make calculated risks, and maintain an ability to move laterally down the line. If whatever move that has been made is well thought out, I can deal with it, even if it doesn't work out. Life's like that.
Another fantastic post, Laimbrane. Iwould thank you for the time that you took to compose such a thoughtful response. Frank is a very good coach. This is obvious to anyone with whom I actually would wish to converse. I really like Dennis Kucinich. He has the annoying habit of nearly always being right. I still wouldn't vote for him. He looks like a gnome. I'm not having that dude represent the U.S.A. to the world. A cabinet post would be nice though. I'm you really like Kucinich, and you would like to engage in a thoughful dialogue, then I would suggest that you email Chomsky (with a well thought out position). He's very responsive.
I would rather have seen Joe PUNT and sign NOBODY than pay Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stucky almost $15 million per year to lead us to another lottery pick that could likely fall outside of the top 3. We already have 2 SFs (3 if you count K. Singler) waiting in the wings to take over for a guy who's best years are behind him physically and mentally in Tay Prince. There are about 60 guards in the NBA that are ranked higher than Rod Stuckey statistically and a damn good percentage of them are paid much less for their services. He's no longer a 'young promising player' on his rookie contract. He's reached his plateu. He has no more upside. I gotta believe that if when you're as bad as the Pistons are, you need to start filling your roster with two kinds of players: 1. Young players who are "arriving" or have "arrived" and can be part of your foundation for many successful years. (i.e. Greg Monroe) 2. Young players who have upside and show potential to either be "special", "key" or "solid" pieces. (i.e. Brandon Knight, Jonas Jerebko). Given the Pistons' current situation, I see no reason to waste ANY resources on a player that doesn't fit 0ne of those two descriptions. I'd rather take a shot on a D-Leaguer than see 3-4 more years of the same guys that we've seen for the last 3-4 years. At least with a D-Leaguer, you retain HOPE as a fan. ...Hope that the D-Leaguer turns into a contributor. ...Hope that the cap space that you have saved by signing the D-Leaguer can be used to snatch some complimentary FA's to go along with the building blocks that you're aquiring according to your plan. It's not an issue of the "grass being greener" on the other side. The issue is that our grass is trampled; dead; no longer growing. ...It's time to plant some new seeds! Every transaction should be about getting younger, better or at least better positioned to GET better. NO transactions should be about remaining the same. Remaining the same SUCKS!!!
I like to think of our young players as a variety of garden plants. The goal is to fertilize the young tomatoes, squash, zuchini and green peppers and give them enough sunshine and water to hopefully be the ingredients to our next squash salad. Now sometimes you see an old stick driven into the garden to support the younger plants. Tayshaun is like the old stick in the garden. He hopefully helps the young plants thrive. I wouldn't pay too much for an old stick. Now coach Frank is the gardener. He picks the plants when they are ripe and then he eats them.
I like BDLs post. D-Leaguers are waiting in abundance, just trying to prove themselves. Need I say Jeremy Lin.........with a big fat ole grin................. He's the answer........especially in the Madison Square Garden.......... BOOM.......
Your post reminds me of the movie Being There staring Peter Sellers. I think "Old Stick" is a good nickname for Tay.
There's a reason I have you sigged, BDL - "if we're going to be bad, we might as well be young." Mostly, I agree. I think it would be a blast to throw a team out there that was all hear and effort and guts. And maybe they would do well, and change things. But as far removed from the NBA as I am, I do recognize that the NBA is a different world from what I'm used to. I don't know if it would work. I don't know what it would be like to have a team full of young 'uns trying to figure things out for themselves, to deal with the losing and the potential "Lionization" (for lack of a better word) of the team. Veteran leadership is respected for a reason, and while I would love to see a team of nobodies playing like every underdog Hollywood story ever made, I don't think it would work. That being said, Prince is overpaid. I'm not sure his veteran leadership is the right kind.
Since you bring it up, I always though Condor would have been the best nickname. He has those long arms and that beak face, and he had those sort of gliding dunks. It still fits now - he's going extinct and we're paying too much to keep him around.
1 and 2's are in abundance. The greatest and most comfort levels are therefore those that have past associations spilling into overall team levels (that can serve on an individual basis ). Notice the unbalance on this team. As the league grows more youthful, the emphasis is on what has the most comfort history (vets, and past associations) and the new have distinct flavors of reinforcing past ego associations. JD was part of what composition? You have to look at this. It is not abnormal to gather the northern moss, but where is the navigational balance? Mr. D had his financial lines. JD had his gut level of past player levels (older associations) and what had the most immediate emphasis? Isiah was a full blown sail and many players understood that their associative feathers where unique in all the animal kingdom. For all, this has not changed. JD knows the difference between scales and feathers. Perhaps (unfortunately), JD has not understood that once formed, the feather is a dead horny structure without living cells. It receives nothing from the body but physical support. In a sense, one will always find many more feathers then dead bodies.
Let's look at how Joe build the Championship squad in detail. Maybe it will be insightful. Just scanning his moves in hindsight reminds me of how active he used to be. I'm going to grey out certain fluff to make it easier to see the key moves. June 6, 2000 - Named Joe Dumars President of Basketball Operations. Named George Irvine head coach. June 29, 2000 - Drafted Mateen Cleaves with the 14th pick and Brian Cardinal with the 44th pick in the 2000 NBA draft. (rough start) 2000-01 August 3, 2000 - Acquired Chucky Atkins and Ben Wallace in exchange for Grant Hill in a sign-and-trade with Orlando. (move of Joe's life! Brilliant) August 11, 2000 - Re-signed Jud Buechler and Mikki Moore. Signed Torraye Braggs. August 22, 2000 - Acquired Billy Owens from Milwaukee in exchange for Lindsey Hunter. August 29, 2000 - Acquired Cedric Ceballos and John Wallace along with Eric Murdock and cash from Dallas in exchange for Christian Laettner and Terry Mills. (flushing the has beens in exchange for expirings and cash?) October 17, 2000 - Acquired Dana Barros and Ansu Sesay from Dallas in exchange for Loy Vaught. November 20, 2000 - Signed free agent Joe Smith, waived Torraye Braggs November 26, 2000 - Acquired second-round draft choice from Miami for Cedric Ceballos. (just dumping that trash after Laettner/ Mills trade) February 22, 2001 - Acquired Corliss Williamson, Tyrone Corbin, Kornel David and a future first-round draft choice from Toronto in exchange for Jerome Williams and center Eric Montross. (OK, real trade here. JYD for Corliss seems like a fair deal. We lost a Center, but got a first-round pick). February 23, 2001 - Waived Tyrone Corbin. April 19, 2001 - Fired head coach George Irvine (Joe didn't like the coach that was forced on him) May 15, 2001 - Named John Hammond as director of player personnel (!!! nice move in hindsight) May 25, 2001 - Named Rick Carlisle as head coach. (perfect hire at the time) June 28, 2001 - Selected Rodney White with the ninth pick in the 2001 NBA Draft and Mehmet Okur with the 38th pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. (should have been the other way around, eh?). That was one really active year. Joe inherited somebody else's goons and he went to work dismantling it. He made a lot of really good small moves that got us out of mediocre contracts, made us younger, got us draft picks, created financial flexibility, etc. The S&T for Grant Hill turned out to be the bedrock for our ship. Grant was going to leave anyways and Joe went with the underappreciated defensive hard worker character guy. Salute. LOST: Grant Hill, Hunter, Ceballos, John Wallace, Laettner, Mills, Junk Yard Dog, Loy Vaught, Montross, George Irvine ADDED: Atkins (trade), Ben Wallace (trade), Corliss (trade), Joe Smith (FA), 2nd round pick (trade), first-round pick (trade), Rick Carlisle RESIGNED: Buechler, Mikki Moore DRAFTED: Rodney White, Okur (should have been switched around. A strike out and found gold). Wow... 4 new quality players, a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick through trade. Picked up a FA and a good coach. Drafted a bust and a steal. 2001-02 July 18, 2001 - Traded Jud Buechler and John Wallace to Phoenix in exchange for Cliff Robinson. Traded a 2002 second-round draft choice to Toronto for the rights to Zeljko Rebraca. (classy moves here for sure. Rebraca'a heart was the only thing that kept this from being stellar). July 24, 2001 - Re-signed Corliss Williamson. and Ratko Varda to contracts. September 7, 2001 - Acquired Jon Barry and a future first-round draft pick from Sacramento in exchange for Mateen Cleaves. Re-signed Dana Barros. September 10, 2001 - Re-signed Brian Cardinal and signed free agent Victor Alexander. October 29, 2001 - Signed free agent Damon Jones. May 21, 2002 - Promoted John Hammond to Vice President of Basketball Operations. June 27, 2002 - Selected Tayshaun Prince with the 23rd pick in the 2002 NBA Draft. Much, quieter year. But still got 5 players and a 1st round pick through trade. Pretty sweet. LOST: Buechler, John Wallace, 2nd round pick, Cleaves, Barros ADDED: Cliff Robinson (trade), Rebraca (trade), Jon Barry (trade), 1st round pick, Damon Jones (FA) RESIGNED: Corliss, Varda, Cardinal DRAFTED: Tayshaun Prince (the love of his life) Joe made the team significantly better in these 2 years with a flurry of value trades and subtle maneuvers. 2002-03 July 17, 2002 - Signed free agent Chauncey Billups. (Overpaying for a FA to come to Detroit? Not even close. FA steal of the decade). August 5, 2002 - Finalized buyout agreement with Mikki Moore. (In hindsight, not a good move) September 11, 2002 - Acquired Hubert Davis, Richard Hamilton and Bobby Simmons from Washington in exchange for Brian Cardinal, Jerry Stackhouse and Ratko Varda. (Brilliant!) October 1, 2002 - Acquired Mengke Bateer, Don Reid and a future first-round draft choice from Denver in exchange for Rodney White. (Joe got Don Reid + a 1st round pick for the bust- Rodney White??? Awesome). October 3, 2002 - Acquired a 2003 second-round draft choice from San Antonio in exchange for Mengke Bateer. October 10, 2002 - Signed free agent Juan Sanchez. February 5, 2003 - Signed free agent Danny Manning. March 11, 2003 - Signed Clifford Robinson to a contract extension through 2004-05. May 31, 2003 - Relieved Head Coach Rick Carlisle of his coaching duties. June 2, 2003 - Named Larry Brown as head coach. June 26, 2003 - Selected Darko Milicic with the second pick, Carlos Delfino with the 25th pick and Andreas Glyniadakis with the 58th pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. LOST: Mikki Moore, Cardinal, Stackhouse, Varda, Rodney White, Carlisle ADDED: Billups (FA), Hubert Davis (trade), Rip (trade), Simmons (trade), Don Reid (trade), 1st round pick (trade), 2nd round pick (trade), Sanchez (FA), Manning (FA), Larry Brown RESIGNED: Cliffy DRAFTED: Darko, Delfino, Glyniadakis (bust, steal, N/A) All in all, a pretty awesome year. Got rid of the high scoring ball hog in exchange for a guys who would lead the Pistons in scoring for the next 8 years, unloaded the draft pick bust for great value, picked the FA steal of his life in Billups, and somehow came away with more draft picks. Plus he nabbed LB to mold these guys into shape. He screwed up the draft (again), but Delfino did pan out for his draft position.. but only after a year overseas. 2003-04 Abbreviated version Signed Elden Campbell as a free agent Resigned restricted FA- Rip Hamilton Traded Michael Curry and got Lindsey Hunter back Signed Darvin Ham as a free agent Traded Sura, Atkins, Hunter, and Rebraca for Rasheed Wallace and Mike James (3 way trade) Got Lindsey back after waivers LOST: Sura, Atkins, Rebraca, Michael Curry ADDED: Elden Campbell, Hunter, Ham, Sheed, Mike James RESIGNED: Rip DRAFTED: Ricky Paulding (late pick- no big deal) In this season, Joe made the finishing touches with complete mastery of his craft. He got the Shaq stopper in Campbell (smart). He kept Rip (essential... but Rip was already dating CB at this point, so it wasn't hard to keep him). He brought back his old pal, Lindsey (strong move), and of course, he nailed the coup de grace- Sheed and Mike James for scraps!!! This machine that Joe created was young, stubborn, and had a serious chip on their collective shoulder. Composition of Championship Team: Billups- cheap FA Hamilton- brilliant trade Prince- great late 1st round draft pick Sheed- trade of the year in the NBA Ben Wallace- trade of the year in 2000, JD went for toughness and defense and picked a winner Okur- absolute steal of a draft pick Corliss- came from solid trade of JYD (we got rid of duplication at energy guy with low offense and added complementary player in Corliss) Campbell- smart FA pickup for specific purpose of winning championship Hunter- FA pickup- defensive specialist at this point James- part of Sheed trade, jelled as a Pistons That is- 2 draft picks (Tay, Okur) both later picks that were way better than their draft position 3 FAs- Billups was brilliant, Campbell and Hunter were cheaper role players by design 5 trades- Wallace, Wallace, and Rip were unbelievable trades. Corliss and James were solid. Joe was a trading machine and he routinely out-traded the opposing GM. He built this whole team without killing the future (he was getting more draft picks than he was giving up). He traded established vets for youth... until he needed a few final pieces of the puzzle and he brought in Sheed, who was in his prime. He had 4 BRILLIANT years. His poor drafting was partially offset by his good/ lucky later picks in Prince and Okur. It was his block and tackle maintenance and trades that really put the Pistons in a near dynasty position. The FA pickup of Billups was a once in a lifetime value bet and payoff for a GM. New theory: I'm wondering if part of Joe's early success was due to him being fresh into retirement and having actual peer to peer knowledge of which guys were worthless and which ones had character. He just made trades like he had insider information in years 1-4.

Our distinguished jury—Edie Carpenter, director of Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art; Heather Garrett of Heather Garrett Interior Design Inc.; and Noelle Ocon, NCMA conservator—met in December to review over 400 submissions. After thoughtful review, they selected 76 works of art across all mediums. The following artists' work will be on view in East Building from May 17 through June 8:
One work of art will be chosen by distinguished artist Hoss Haley as Best in Show, earning $3,000 and inclusion in the live auction. Two additional cash prizes will be awarded to artists whose work the juror considers exceptional. We invite the public to enjoy an evening of art and celebration when we announce the winners on Friday, May 17, at the Auction Preview party.
Come, meet the artists: you'll be glad you did!

Breaking Away at the Bicycle Film Festival London
2009 is the 30th anniversary of the film Breaking Away, and luckily for those in the UK, big screen showings are not just for Austin TX. The London Bicycle Film Festival will be having a screening along with a number of other exciting bicycle-related films between 24 and 26 September. Tickets are available from the Barbican and are bound to sell fast, judging by last year's success of Road to Roubaix.
Other things to look out for are the showing of Where Are You Go and the Rapha Ride, leaving from Richmond Park on the morning of 26 September at 9.30 for a spin and then some refreshments before venturing up to the Barbican in time for the screening of Tour des Legendes at 12.30. More info on this will be announced soon.
Book tickets for the screenings at the Barbican website and more information about the Bicycle Film Festival is available here.

Hi Stephen, I think that the 1st of this month was a bit of an over-enthusiastic statement as we cannot wait to open the boxes either, but we've definitely got some nice bits in the pipeline to launch this Friday. Keep an eye on the newsletter!

I love this hotel. It's location is best. Beside the south beach. And it has it's own private beach. The room design is in white, make me feel really comfotable and relax. Room is huge and it has balcony to see the sea. Also u can have brunch or breaskfast with the beautiful view. It worth!!

Many downtown attractions are centered on the Riverwalk, Fort Lauderdale's chief arts, entertainment, and shopping district. Its landmarks include the Museum of Arts Fort Lauderdale and trendy Las Olas Boulevard. The Broward County Convention Center lies southeast of the downtown core. Nearby, palm trees shadow the promenade along Fort Lauderdale Beach, among the cleanest in the nation.

Very nice small place, rooms clean but need updating especially the bathroom. The bigger rooms would have been worth the extra money, they were much nicer. Good location, block from beach while still quiet to relax. Nice outside relaxing areas. We would stay again but in the upgraded room only.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Best Prices, Service, and Location in the area"
The facilities where very clean, the staff was very friendly, and the location was amazing. This place is a hidden gem in Ft. Lauderdale, and we're already looking forward to going back next year!!!Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The room was clean, we had a kitchen and prepared breakfast every day. The people at the office were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The garden area is beautiful. The hotel is located a block from the beach and a block from the water taxi. Very safe area. We will be back!!!Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Perfect Location, Wonderful Staff"
If you are a go,do,see,explore all kind of person then this is the hotel for you. If you are a sleep in on luxurious bedding, lounge in your plush hotel accommodations kind of person this is definitely not your place. The hotel could not get any better in location, one block from the beach and Starbucks, steps away from oceanfront restaurants and bars, […] walkable to Las Olas and Sunrise, and steps away from the awesome water taxi. The staff is incredible, very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Beautiful pools, free beach chairs as well as beach towels. But our room was nothing to be excited about. It was clean but everything, especially the tile in the bathroom needed updating. It suits your basic needs, and if you're like us and dont spend much time in your room then its fine. But if you like a large luxurious hotel room this was not it. The overall experience, staff, and location help boost it's ratings. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"very convenient"
this is about 1 block off the "adult" end of Ft. Lauderdale Beach. it took us a little while to figure out where to eat, but other than that, this was a convenient location. it's a scant two blocks to the Water Taxi (which seemed to be overwhelmed on Sunday). This place is definitely quaint, 40 to 50 years old, but has been renovated and kept clean. […] not a Hyatt or Weston, but a good value. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"would not stay there again,"
you cannot get to the street it is on without going past it and making u turns to even find the street name > there is no one avail after 6pm and we notified them we would be late and we ended up waking someone up to find they had left key in the mail box. the room was smaool and the bathroom was so small that when we first looked in we didnt even see […] a shower it was behind the door and it was bad. the place needs a whole update and overhaul the rooftom patio is on the next door hotel not this one. definately would rate this 1star at the most it was that bad. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"great hotel & great staff!"
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa del Mar. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a refrigerator microwave and toaster oven. The hotel is a beautiful old building and nicely landscaped. The pool was nice with lots of comfy lounge chairs around. The hotel is set back from the beach about a block and just a short walk from all the bars and restaurants. […] You need a key to enter the property so it is secure. The front desk staff was very helpful in giving us directions and making recommendations for meals and entertainment. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I intend to go back next time I am in Fort Lauderdale! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Quiet and Charming"
Great little gem in an awesome location. The desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. Although the property is older, my room was clean & comfortable with a newer mattress. Shower (no tub) was excellent w/ great water pressure. The pool is on the small side, but I was the only one on the deck, so it didn't matter. Newer padded lounge chairs which […] can be moved about to catch the sun. Otherwise, the courtyard is heavily landscaped & quiet. 2 blocks to the beach and Casablanca restaurant. Across the street from the Westin w/ multiple bar & restaurant options. What's not to like? 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Relaxing place with cheap-feel rooms"
My wife and I stayed at La Casa Del Mar when having to go to south Florida to wrestle government bureaucrats. It rained constantly when we were there, so we didn't get to use the pool or sit in the nicely (overly?) vegetated garden to read as we had hoped. It seemed like a great oasis to relax with a good book in the sun, though. We were a little surprised […] at the staff leaving seat cushions out in the rain, which made it impossible to sit by the pool even after the rain stopped. The limited front desk hours didn't bother us much, and the cleaning staff was friendly and very service-oriented (but didn't speak a word of English). The room was okay, it was clean but it had a cheap feel to it and one could tell the furniture etc were either old or very cheap or both. Perhaps this was expected considering the low price for the area, but it didn't add value to our experience. The location is fantastic, only a very brief walk from the beach and luxury hotels and with free parking and wifi. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Convenient Comfort Stay"
Extremely satisfied with the quality of service. The Hotel is located right near the beach which was exactly what we were looking for. We Loved the hotel and how cozy it was. The room's decor was very inviting and we loved it. We will most definitly come back! <3Hotels.com 真实住客点评
This hotel was simply perfect! We are Miami local looking to get away and found this rustic, closed in little villa in the middle of the Ft Laudy action! We had the inetrcoastal on one side and the ocean was walkng distance. The room was spacey enough for 2-3 days, it had a fully equipped small kitchen. The bathroom was clean and new with all its little […] things in place. The bed itself was very big and comfortable. The pillows were clean. The tv was a flat screen tv. There's a cabana situated in the other side of the hotel, up on the third floor roof deck. Very nice view, we fell asleep up there. Overall, great hotel, i would definitely go back and recommend it for anyone! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Stayed for two nights after a loss in the family. The hotel was one block from the hotel and was just peaceful and relaxing. A real mom and pop place verses the big hotels that we are just not into. Perfect location... Staff was extremely helpful.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Problems with the hotel"
The worst was the smell of mold that was in the room and it remained in our clothes. Some basic things had not been maintained to ensure problemless operation (the lock in the room door, the shower).Expedia 真实住客点评

"Last minute get away"
The staff was fantastic. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The owner came to personally introduce herself to us(how many hotels do you know where that happens). The place was set up like a mansion more than a hotel. It made us feel like we got way more then we paid for. The beach is just under a block away. Dining and shopping where also al within […] a block. The part that I liked was that we had a mini kitchen with pots, pans, and all utensils to cook a full meal. We took a half day fishing charter and cooked our bounty for dinner. My girlfriend loved everything about it. We would highly recomend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Pros: staff was very nice to me and wife swimming pool was clean good location to water room was clean Cons: paid for bed and breakfest, did not have breakfest no hot water at times parking spaces was very small and close to get into door to room had hard time to lock booked for king size bed got queen size all and all nice place to have a few days […] to rest 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Nice, friendly, quiet hotel for a couple."
This hotel suited us for our requirements perfectly. We were left alone and could enjoy our holiday in peace. I was disappointed that the room service didnt include sweeping the floor so we spent all of our holiday with a sandy floor (from the beach)! It is ideally located for the beach and the A1A at Fort Lauderdale. Las Olas Blvd is only a short bus […] ride or sun trolley ride away. The staff were friendly and didn't quibble when we failed to check out of our room on time. The only issue I had was that we had booked on a bed and breakfast basis but breakfast was not being offered due to being out of season. This should be made clear when booking as I may have chosen differently otherwise. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
Location was excellent, but room we were given was not as nice as ones on their website which was disappointing. We had no view, and room was small and dark. Woken through the night by people walking about upstairs. Reception staff did offer to move us but we had unpacked and were only staying 2 nights, 2nd night was not as bad noisewise. When we booked […] the website stated that there was a breakfast included, but when we asked were told they were not offering this any more, but there was no reducton in charge. Roof terrace was a mess, nothing like the pics on the website!! We booked 7 different hotels for this trip and this was the one I was most excited about, very disappointing. Upside was that the staff were very helpful and friendly and location was good, but I can not recommend and will not be returning 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Heart of Ft. Lauderdale beach, but still quiet."
The La Casa Del Mar is a small, older facility only 1 block from the beach, and 2-3 blocks north of the heart of the Ft. Lauderdale beach strip. Yet it was quiet, low-key, and almost felt secluded. Room was clean and well appointed in spite of the hotel's age, but suitable only for two people. If you prefer character and quietness over the impersonality […] and bustle of a large national chain hotel, then you will probably be happy here. We will definitely plan to stay here on our next trip to Ft. Lauderdale in July. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"La Casa Del Mar in Ft. Lauderdale"
Very friendly staff, nice pool and garden, on a quiet side-street and only one block from the ocean. La Casa Del Mar is a small, older hotel dwarfed by it's neighbor to the east, the Weston Hotel. Some might consider it just slightly 'funky', but it is very clean and comfortable. The location is it's high point, the thin walls and very basic continental […] breakfast are it's low points, as well as it's cost during the winter high season, but high cost is the norm in Florida in season. I recommend it. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"A big disappointment"
Hotel very convenient. It is pretty. Here is what we faced: 1- Hotel was almost empty. Lots of nicer rroms available and they put us in a small room. The only outlet was in the bathroom. 2- Bed and Breakfast? Hardly- Breakfast canteen opened at 830am. Kind of late and what was there? Muffins and Bagles prepackaged by Otis Spunkmeyer! Like found in a […] cheap motel. Plastic forks, mixed fruit jelly. What a disappointment. It isnt a B&B. It is a motel with minimum services. best part is location. But better sleep in a hostel. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Small rooms, but perfect location"
The room was very small. Water in the swimming pool was not very clean, so it didn't encourage me to swim there. The best plus is the location - a block from the beach and close to the stripe of beach bars and restaurants. Taxi to Las Olas Blvd where you go for night fun will cost you $10-15. Overall, I think it's overpriced.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Nice and quiet place, cozy. (Earcondison is noisy in the room) This is a cosy hotel with a nice garden. the location to the beach and the other is Top. It bears the look of the 70s and may need an upgrade and some dust dry. Good for couple of guys and gals:-)Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Fijn verblijf gehad in dit kleinschalige hotel. De zitjes en ligstoelen rond het zwembad en in de tuin waren perfect, 's avonds kon je nog gezellig buiten zitten. Er was een goede handdoekservice, je kon zoveel handdoeken nemen als je wilde. Het hotel lag op enkele minuten lopen van het strand, het hotel had stoelen die je mee naar het strand kon nemen.

"Gute Lage / nettes Personal"
Das Casa del Mar war zu unserem buchungszeitpunkt das günstigste im Verhältnis zur Entfernung vom Strand in Ft. Lauderdale. Die Zimmer sind alt wie das ganze Hotel allerdings verfügt alles über einen gewissen Charme. Die Lage macht jedoch die kleineren Makel jederzeit weg. Das Personal ist zudem sehr hilfsbereit und man fühlt sich willkommen.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Einmal und Nie wieder !!!"
Dieses Motel würden wir nicht noch einmal buchen. Äusserlich war es ganz ok. Aber das Zimmer bedarf einer Renovierung.Sehr alte Möblierung mit dementsprechenden Gebrauchsspuren. Der Putz löst sich teilweise von der Decke. Besonders das Bad mit dieser alten heruntergekommenen Ausstattung geht garnicht. In Deutschland könnte man so etwas garnicht mehr […] anbieten. Schon garnicht für diesen überzogenen Preis. Das betrifft nach unserer Erfahrung viele dieser alten Motels in Strandnähe in Fort Lauderdale und Miami Beach. Es wird nur kassiert und kaum was investiert. Das einzig Positive ist nur die Nähe zum Strand. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"Behagelig og bra beliggenhet"
Ankom sent og hadde avtalt at nøkkel lå klar til oss da resepsjonen stenger tidlig. Prisene varierer etter sesong og vi var der helgen før nyttår 2012/ 2013. Litt dyrere da, men helt greit. Hoteller i denne prisklassen er ofte noe mer slitt og slitent enn dyrere hoteller, men her følte vi at vi fikk bra for pengene. Reiser mye i Florida og dette var […] et bra sted. Hyggelig med haven og bassenget og at det ligger så sentralt i forhold til Las Olas Blvd. Bassenget er ikke oppvarmet, noe som de burde være om vinteren, om ikke er vannet litt vel kaldt. Frokost er det ikke der, selv om de skriver de har det, men masse muligheter i nærheten for en matbit og så har rommene et lite kjøkken og bra kjøleskap om man ønsker og lage selv. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

De ligging van het hotel is prachtig, in een rustige zijstraat van Las Olas boulevard, zeer dicht bij het strand. Het is echt een rustige oase.

Yes. I have seen this done at college football games (and I went to a DIII school) and at MLS games.
Printable View
OT, but it baffles me why people feel the need to bash DC United on here so much. We get it, you don't like soccer. I don't much care for pro basketball, but I'd never slam a hometown team like the Wizards for no reason. Especially a team that's won 12 titles in the time we've won 1 NFC East title.
Football and futbol are both great.
I've only been to three games so far, but I have to admit that I was a jackass the first game. The other two were fine, but that first one... wow. I'm embarrassed.
I was drunk (I'm not a drinker), overly excited to be there and was seated in a large group of Redskins' fans. No reason for anything bad to happen. But, Mr. Pottymouth came out every time something went wrong (we lost), and I very likely ruined the game for the 2 older couples right in front of us. It didn't hit me until the next morning, but I felt like an ass. I still wish I could apologize to them for my behavior. Just terrible.
But, I corrected it for the second game, just to see our fans messing with visiting fans (after a win) in the parking lot. I know I'll never be a jerk at a game again. I learned and I wish other people would do so as well.
Isn't that an old, old wooden ship?
Well, that's not always the case. I was ejected from a game once for fighting because of the guy in front of me. He was an "everyone but the Redskins" fan & had sat in front of me all season (when I had season tickets). During an Eagles game, when we had gotten up to cheer a TD, I accidentally hit him in the back of the head with my knee & the next thing I know, I'm being hauled out of the stadium by police. Now, there are some details I'm leaving out, because it's a bit of a drawn out story, but that is the jist of what happened. There were no words exchanged, there was no reason for him to believe that a fight was coming, there was no "fight" at all. A misunderstanding, a sensitive opposing team fan, & the police. That's all it takes. And the cops/security doesn't always get it right.
It is called perspective. When I was stationed at Meade, and I first became a STH in 2002, I would show up to tailgate and get ripped. Then walk in and pound more alcohol. I was an ******* to ANYONE wearing colors other than burgundy and gold. Then my son was born in Nov 2003, with Tetrology of Fallot with Absent Pulmonary Valve Syndrome. He went from delivery room to NICU. Had open heart surgery at 6 days old. Got a trach at a month. Spent 5 1/2 months in the PICU, where he eventually passed. Never went home. Never got to go outside. You know what those months taught me? Football is just a game. It is a nice distraction from REAL life. It was and is therapy for me. I can scream and release any anger I have. I get to socialize with fellow Redskins fans, and even fans of the opposing team.
Anyone attempting to justify acting like a horses ass to opposing fans needs to STFU. Gain some perspective. Football is just a ****ing game. I love that game, and the Redskins. I now take my daughter with me to Redskins game.
It's a game. Treat it as such.
The team won't get hit by the secondary market going away per se, however eventually if the secondary market ended up being null and void I think that a lot of people would probably cancel their tickets. Many people only have season tickets because if they can't make a game they can sell them easily and in many cases turn a profit. I'm not sure they could enforce a "visitors section" the way they do in soccer apparently, however if you read the back of the ticket it says that they have the right to deny you admission for any reason for the most part. I don't see why they can't just not let opposing fans in by invoking that policy. I get the fact that it would cause a huge scene and so forth, but if they stop allowing other people into our stadium maybe they'll get the message and go away.
I'm not suggesting that people be hostile. But...you cooked them food on your grill? I would have told him that if he was wearing burgundy and gold I'd be happy to help but since not, he's SOL with me. And I do buy tickets to every game; I have season tickets. Here's the thing; if everyone else is doing it there comes a point where you're the odd guy out. I'm not talking about peer pressure in the sense of smoking or drinking (although while I'm not a smoker per se I do light up a cigar while tailgating) but if every other fan base does things one way and we do things another they're sitting there laughing at us. The last thing I want to be is the butt-end of a joke for someone else's pleasure. When I see how welcoming we can be to other fans and then they treat our fans like garbage and the net result is 10-15K away fans at our games, who's coming out ahead in that scenario? Again, I'm not saying that people should feel threatened, but I just do my part to ensure that they don't have a good time.

My issue with soccer is the "establishment." The game itself COULD even be SOMEWHAT enjoyable to watch, however to me it's the people that are the problem. If you go to Europe that's the only sport they really have so nobody gets snarky about it. However in my experience a true soccer person over here seems to feel that soccer is the only sport...period. The impression I get from a lot of soccer people is that if you're not into soccer and thus prefer football and baseball you're just an uneducated fool. That may sound harsh, but I've had people treat me as such. If there wasn't such an arrogance among some of the supporters I MIGHT not have a problem with it. However the fact is that it's never going to take hold in America like the other sports.
Great Post, Popeman.
I can also say I at much differently at games now than when I was 18-21. One thing is for sure, more W's at home will cure all. When the Skins are getting smoked at FedEx, it is just a terrible atmosphere in the stadium no matter how you cut it. Opposing fans chanting together, provoking fights with already irritated Skins fans, worst case scenario. However, I have yet to ever see any type of confrontation between ANY fans at the (admittedly few) games where the Skins have a laugher and win comfortably.at home. When the W's come aand we walk into the stadium expecting to win (take current day Foxborough, Heinz Field, and RFK in the glory days) no one has any reason to start a fight; 99.9% of the fans are there to enjoy the experience and the game.
For the most part you're right. However I was at the 2002 season opener (a Thursday night game) when John Hall kicked the game winning FG as time expired. A bunch of us were walking through the concourse of the club level yelling J-E-T-S SUCK! SUCK! SUCK! This kid that couldn't have been more than 18 (drunk out of his mind) and a Jets fan started pushing and punching everyone in sight because we were calling out his team. Eventually he knocked down an old man and his wife which was when security stepped in.
As I've said, these visiting fans come here expecting to be served and they can't seem to understand that we're not as thrilled with their team as they are.
I was at the Cincinnati game this year. Not alot of Bengals fans and they were clearly out numbered so what was stupid and weird all at the same time is, I saw more Redskin on Redskin fan fights. That's what's so bizarre.
I was also at the Atlanta game. There was one falcons fan, singing "so sorry to have to have beat you, but we did," or something like that. But you know what the Redskin fans did? Ignored him. By the time we got down to the 3rd ramp, he had shut up, because no one was giving him the time of day.
Fighting between your own fans is the most asinine thing going pj. Fighting of ANY kind is ridiculous in the extreme over a game, however passionate and important to people that game and their own team is. But fighting with your fellow fan ..... I'd ban you right there on the spot for being a total ridiculous dumbass.
We might not all disagree on certain things with this organization. And as pertains to this, certain things that happen during a game. But the very last thing you do is turn on your own. Either on the field or in the stands.
Absolute braindead stupidity on both counts.
2 Redskin fans by a port a john and another couple of fans in the parking lot that day. I've seen it in the stands in years past. I tell you, the older I get, the less I want to go to professional games. I'd rather go see a minor league baseball or hockey game any day. Much more relaxed and more of a family atmosphere.
My issue with soccer is the "establishment." The game itself COULD even be SOMEWHAT enjoyable to watch, however to me it's the people that are the problem. If you go to Europe that's the only sport they really have so nobody gets snarky about it.

However the fact is that it's never going to take hold in America like the other sports.
I totally agree with you. I have DCU season tickets and I regularly make fun of people who put down American football as "throwball" or "pointyball" or whatever. But I won't lie, it sucks just as much to be a HUGE, LIFELONG 'Skins/DC Sports fan and a HUGE soccer fan (been to World Cup, club games in Europe, DCU season ticket holder) and have people be so down on the sport/local team here any time it comes up ("soccer sucks" "grass fairies", etc). Thicker skin, I know.
I just wish fanbases of both sports were a little more open minded, because both sports are clearly superior to pretty much everything else out there.
^^This plus...
The biggest joke of the term "athlete" and "tough" can be found in soccer

Exp For Gp2X And Wiz. We Have Achievements!
Posted 22 August 2010 - 06:15 PM
There is a SDK and a application to manage profiles.
[cut]For gamers (all goes in games directory, in Wiz):
- EXP Application. Manage you EXP (or your friends one). Select one and exit. Last EXP selected will be the active one.
- Escape from Minos (Versión EXP). 32 EXPERIENCIES, 1000 POINTS.
- Rock Rain 2 (versión EXP). 18 EXPERIENCIES, 500 POINTS.
For coders:
- EXP_SDK. You know. exp.h in include directory, libexp.a in lib directory.
Include next line in your headers:
#include <exp.h>
and -lexp in link options.
exp_init(Author,Escape from Minos,screen); // screen is a SDL surface (optional)
exp_add(1,10); // experience 1, 10 points
exp_add(2,20); // experience 2, 20 points
exp_add(3,30,1); // experience 3, 30 and is secret
exp_add_desc(1,silly,you falled); // description of experience 1
Do you want more languages? The system load the language selected in profile.
exp_add_desc(1,tonto,te has caído,Spanish); // description spanish
exp_add_desc(1,silly,you falled,English); // description english
exp_win(1); // active experience 1
exp_win(2); // active experience 2
exp_win(3); // active experience 3
exp_update(); // just before SDL_Flip(), to show the system messages
exp_end(); // when close the game
There are another functions (look at exp.h):
exp_user(); // get the name of the profile
exp_data_path(); // get the path where you can save data files, etc...
exp_add_img() // add an image to experience
exp_add_icon() // add an image of the game
If you don't use SDL but want EXP, use exp_init("author","game",NULL); You don't see the messages, but data will be saved.
Data is stored in directory EXP, in root of SD.
It's a beta, but very stable. Please, I need feedback. Thanks to all.

Is there any way to select profile from within the game? And to manage your experience from within your game? It sounded like it was a separate application?
Posted 23 August 2010 - 06:31 AM
one suggestion though - how about adding a callback function if not using SDL? so that the app itself can display the messages?
Posted 23 August 2010 - 07:51 AM
Any chance OpenSourceBox LiveTM will be coming to the caanoo/pandora?
Good name. I don't have that consoles, but would be possible. It's coded in C++ with SDL, so I think there is no problem.
Is there any way to select profile from within the game? And to manage your experience from within your game? It sounded like it was a separate application?
Good point. I think it is easy to add an option to select another profile, I'll take a look. And... to manage profiles, is better a separate application and the SDK as little as possible to avoid memory problems.
one suggestion though - how about adding a callback function if not using SDL? so that the app itself can display the messages?
It's the same I thought when finished the library. I was to split de code in Core_Exp, SDL_Exp, etc... The Core_Exp manage all experience, and SDL_Exp will show the messages of the core with SDL (for example).
Thanks to all... All your sugestions are welcome to get a better sdk.
Posted 23 August 2010 - 07:02 PM
A couple of suggestions, most of these I would consider "must-have":
- Documentation on the data format
This would allow for alternative implementations - Callbacks or data query functions in the API
Implementations not using SDL can still use the data functionality of the lib. - Source code
Allows usage of the lib in projects that cannot use the library binary, maybe because they
already link against a different version of SDL... it could also be possible to turn SDL support off
at compile time, if it is not needed/wanted in a project. - Proper open source license (GNU compatible)
Otherwise it will not be legal to use the lib with a lot of stuff out there.
Posted 23 August 2010 - 10:05 PM
Jokes aside, this is something I am looking forward to seeing in new homebrews. Like the people above me said: this is cool.

Licensing problems are a lot of pain, and opening everything does not necessarily solve the problem.
Linking to an external (i.e. dynamic) library does not necessarily violate the GPL / LGPL. With GPL it's still an unanswered question with open-source lawyers arguing both sides. With LGPL, that was the entire purpose of the licence. Most LGPL software (like SDL) and other open-source code recognises this. It's fine for me to supply a binary that is linked against SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_gfx, etc. so long as the parts of the LIBRARIES that I link to have source-code available - i.e. if I link to a dynamic SDL library (e.g. DLL or .so) and distribute that, then the code to THAT library is still subject to the license and any source-code-visibility-restrictions, but the code that loads the SDL library and executes commands from it - i.e. my game - is not (in general).
The bad thing is static linking, which some GP2X apps see as necessary - as soon as you statically link SDL (i.e. build SDL into your binary such that it becomes a whole piece that cannot be separated from your code) then your code needs to be under the same license. I did this myself with STPPC2x because, well, it made licensing simpler when it was starting to get out of hand (STPPC2x has MIT, BSD, GPL and LGPL code in it, I believe, and I was as careful as I could be to make sure everything was compatible and legal - it was developed in Cygwin but all distributed binaries are from non-Cygwin dependent code). But a new project of mine, which probably won't be open-source, was developed in MinGW and dynamically loads SDL and some other libraries from separate, external library files and that's fine. If someone wants the source to those particular library files, no problem. You can even have the source to my whole development environment (in theory). But they don't need the source to my program that uses those libraries (in general). It means that everything became a lot easier to manage from a distribution point of view. GPL'ing STPPC2x meant that it was ported to everything from the PSP and NDS to the Wiz/Caanoo because someone took my source and could do something with it. But I had to spend a lot of time checking licenses properly in order to make sure that it was legit. I'm not sure that a lot of programmers do that kind of due-diligence work - I've seen GPL/LGPL code inside GP2X programs that don't have an offer of source, and even some people who wrote ports of STPPC2x never fed their source code changes back.
Lots of programs on Windows work using open-source DLL's (*dynamically* linked *libraries* - the thing we're talking about here) and yet don't subject their main program to the GPL. "Super" (the video convertor) was one last time I looked. The FSF says that dynamic linking isn't allowed, other lawyers disagree (and the FSF are NOT the official source of information here - it's all very much a legal grey area dependent on a court's interpretation, not the FSF. It would be a costly fight to decide which is right and would be one of the defining moments of open-source... nobody has yet done that or knows for sure if it'll be successful. It centers around whether an external DLL is "derivative" of a program that uses it, or a work-alike DLL, and work just the same. LGPL makes things clearer - lots of commercial games use SDL libs and things like that and don't pay for a commercial license.
In this case, it would not be difficult for someone to link against this library with a GPL program, but not include it in the final executable, and supply an external, dynamically-linked file along with the program whose source code was closed. If that file was missing, it would be very simple to run the game but without the "achievements" library loaded at all. Or vice-versa, linking a GPL library from a closed-source application. So long as you don't generate a single binary that has bunched together code with lots of different licenses, you're almost certainly fine.
That's why the library binary is supplied, I guess, because it avoids 99% of the licensing problems - without needing to give away the source code. However, I believe there may be a licensing problem here - if the library can take and act upon an SDL_Surface, it suggests that it was compiled using SDL headers or code. That means it's almost certainly required to be LGPL anyway. Thus, the very act of publishing it here means that the author might have to divulge source code if someone asks. This is why a lot of the open-source licensing stuff is avoided by some programmers.
Licensing is a nightmare. Even if someone opens up their code, the arguments and pitfalls of combining licenses is a pain. Hell, compiling MinGW apps with profiling enabled makes them subject to the GPL - but without, they can even be entirely proprietary or public domain. And it matters what version of the GPL you interpret the licence as being. An external library that programs choose to load if it's present solves 99.9% of the problem for everyone. Whether it's GPL or not, doesn't really make anything any easier.
Whenever I program, I keep a file in the project folder - it says, in my own plain English, what source I've used, what the license means and where I got it from. I even save things in there like "permission" emails from graphics artists, musicians etc. if I ever use their work. It's not unusual for that file to be larger than most of the source code files, even if I state stuff briefly. To me, the GPL is/was a wonderful idea but it's been so corrupted by technical problems, unclear generic wording, and other things that it's become a BIGGER pain to use GPL stuff than to just use other licenses or public domain stuff. If you GPL this library, for instance, then games-authors might be obligated to GPL their games. If you LGPL it, then other programmers will be able to use it dynamically but you have to release the source. If those authors link statically and your library is GPL or LGPL, they are in violation. If their game is GPL but they link with your proprietary library, they are STILL in violation. If you just leave it as proprietary, it's up to the individual programmers whether they want to load/bundle it and under what terms, and the onus is on them, not you.
OS licenses are never clear-cut, and rarely solve any licensing problems. Linux uses GPLv2 ONLY (no "or above"), Cygwin has weird GPL dependencies that (although clarified) seem contrary to the licence, MinGW can introduce GPL'd code when you debug if you're not careful, cdrecord tried to mix GPL and an incompatible licence and still nobody's sure what to do about it, GPLv3 doesn't solve anything but a few patent problems - at any point the wording on the licenses could have been written to take account of that stuff much more sensibly (at least for the "or above" users) but hasn't. Open-source licensing is hideously complicated for such a simple thing - "use my code, but don't run off with it or claim it as your own".
The author of this library would probably be massively discouraged now if they wanted to keep source secret - the only real sensible way to avoid legal hassle at all is to LGPL it or remove the "Supply an SDL_Surface" parts, which could cripple its usability. And encouraging static linking would be quite a bad thing either way, but at least the violation would not be the fault of the author of the library, but the person who statically links and distributes.
A lot of games, libraries, etc. on the GP archives are violating some clause of some licensing somewhere, it's just that nobody has bothered to report it. That's not to condone it (I don't, and if I found out my proprietary code had GPL code in it, I'd rip it out immediately and/or publish source and would be INCREDIBLY embarrassed and much more careful in future), but open-sourcing this particular library doesn't actually solve any more legal problems that it creates. I'd encourage the author to remove the SDL Surface functionality, or LGPL the code if possible, but claiming that merely throwing it under some GNU licence would fix things is short-sighted.
Code licences are a minefield. Hell, I have a line for every third-party PNG image, OGG file and piece of code that my latest game uses describing it's origin and licence. When I modify them to suit my game, I have to keep track of where the original came from and what I did to them and what images use what artist's copyrighted works. It's a pain and yet still most programmers do NOT keep track of this stuff. This library is the least of any FSF-fanatic's worries.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 12:00 PM
If this library is really interesting and people use it I'll give the code anyway (LGPL probably), but for now I only want a stable system for games. I'll use it more until I show the code.

What I wanted was to use a LGPL license, because of SDL.
I would go with something more permissive than the LGPL (but still something GPL compatible), to allow use in closed source, non-dynamically linked applications as well. MIT/X11 license or zlib license come to mind.
Posted 25 August 2010 - 08:18 PM
I don't think so. The only point is to allow users to link against different versions of the LGPL library in question (in this case, SDL), so providing the compiled object files will suffice. Debatable of course, but nobody seems to give anyone a hard time about these things in this community, which is nice and as it should be.The bad thing is static linking, which some GP2X apps see as necessary - as soon as you statically link SDL (i.e. build SDL into your binary such that it becomes a whole piece that cannot be separated from your code) then your code needs to be under the same license.

My daughter in law had been eying these and I surprised her with one for her birthday. I investigated and the B60 had 3 cup size settings. She loves it! My son is a Capt in the Marine Corps and when he deploys this is especially nice as she can do her coffee/tea/hot chocolate cup by needed cup! I would highly recommend. Price was very competitive and of course the O Club shipping was great! My mother gave her the coffee stand to match so all was very well received and got a big thumbs up!
If you're looking for quality, not quantity, this is the coffee brewing system for you. I used to drink cup after cup of coffee in the morning, I've since realized I'd rather have one great cup than a pot of progressively bad ones. Every cup with the Keurig is fresh and full-flavored. Coffee is perfect everytime both in taste and in temperature. It has 3 cup size options and the large is great for mugs. Overstock gets kudos from me for very quick delivery and exceptional packing.
Have had it for a couple weeks and we use it every day. I have it set to turn on and off at a certain time which is a nice feature. You can also set the temp so the coffee is super hot. To fill a large travel mug you have to slide the bottom drip catcher out which is easy. I had the mini one small cup personal one before where you had to add the water each time, I couldn't stand it so it is worth paying the extra money for one with a reservoir.
Makes a great cup of coffee when you only need one or two cups and fast. Convenient to use. Overstock was best price and best overall to work with. Only complaint is that the product came with Keurig markings on the overpack so the 'surprise' was busted :-)
Wanted a Keurig forever, finally purchased one from Overstock, use it everyday, makes great coffee, and I can make a small cup, reg. cup or a mug. Bought a lot of items from Overstock, probably use this more than anything. Might buy one for my sister for Mothers Day. Thanks so much for your quick delivery.
The coffee and the teas I have purchased are delicious. Having a hot cup ready so quickly is great for hurried mornings..........and the evening sleepy time tea so relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone.
Was purchased as a gift for a family member - they totally love it. They have entertained guests and brag about all the features. There are at least two more of us who want one also.
Daughter gave us a gift card from Overstock for Christmas. Have wanted a Keurig for sometime. Makes a great cup of coffee. We recommend it.
Worked great straight out of the box. Quality Kuerig product.

I'm about to buy tickets for the Loudon race, and I can pick either the main grandstand along the front straight or the Concord grandstand around turn 1.
Anybody been to Loudon? Which is better? Turn 1 seems more exciting, but is the main stand more comfortable or easier to get to?

Title: Awsome Banner
Date: Nov 09, 2012
I havent used this banner yet. But I was really excited when I opened it. This was a really nice durable banner for the price. Last year I order one at a party store and it cost more than this and it was paper. If I wanted it laminated for outside use it was more money. So when I got this one I was very '' HAPPY''. Great purshase.......

Wide Area Networks
Connectivity that is flexible, effective and secure
For many organisations communications are a key part of business strategy and your wide area network is a critical element in delivering an effective solution. NextiraOne's customised WAN solutions can help you to achieve your business objectives and encourage widespread use of new applications and services by providing flexible, high performance networking.
The willingness of employees to use new communications tools and applications can have a significant effect on the productivity and efficiency of your organisation. Their acceptance of new services and technologies, however, depends largely on the performance and functionality of your network.

With this in mind, many of the carrier solutions on the market today appear inflexible, poorly developed and not very adaptable.
NextiraOne's wide area networks are specifically designed to address the needs of our customers by providing better, more reliable connectivity which is flexible, functional and secure. Our WANs carry real-time and business-critical applications reliably and they are designed to allow the easy introduction of new applications and communications services. Our security solutions are tailored to the complexity of your systems and we provide transparent management systems that allow you to gain and maintain control of your cost/performance ratios.
Our tailored WAN approach provides a complete portfolio of services ranging from initial concept and design to full support and network management.
