New skin: the Mummy
April 23, 2012, 08:48:08 PM »
Hello, I tried to make new skins.
My first one, the Feline, is finished but not fully satisfying me. Thematically this skin teases a lot but can't assume after. She tends to think herself as really capable and able to do things by herself, meaning she can go in a spiral of loneliness by not having the courage to ask help or recognize she is like everibody. Maybe I'll come back on this later if you're interested.
My Mummy is nearly finished and seems better to me. I'll try to translate what I wrote (english is not my first language) and hope it will "inspire" you. Like the Mortal she lives by her relationship with her "only" love, unlike the Mortal she's not the parasite but the support of her lover. My comments in italic
Introductive text:
not written for the moment (yes I finish my work with the introductive text, but I put playing the mummy just below so you can see the skin's theme)
Playing the mummy
Caring, devoted, exclusive. The mummy comes back century after century only by the power of her love. For her everything is already written, their love is immortal and not to be discussed. In her memories, hazed by time and reincarnation, everything was perfect between them. In fact this love acts as an anchor and this anchor can change. If it happens, the mummy will try to requalify her relationship with her anchor as a love relation cause that's all she knows, and she will be the pilar of this new relationship ready to defend it against anybody.
I gave the egyptian names to my Feline,so if you have ideas, I also need a photo \o/
An antiquity name, A name evoking renewal,
Emaciated, Sculptural, Myrrh and cinnamon smell (
what they put inside mummies
), No hair nor hairs
Void eyes, Burning eyes, Amber eyes, too much khôl
Rejuvenated mummy, Aztec mummy, Osirian, Master of the samsara
Choose last, but before the Mortal, who is your love reincarnated. He is your first anchor. You've got 2 strings against him (you know him well), he's got 1 against you.
You have a confident, he's got 1 string against you.
Hot +1 Cold -1 Volatile -1 Dark +1
You have the first and choose one other
-Eternal love: this is your anchor, what binds your soul to this world. You can change it when you escape your darkest self. You always have +1 on your test to protect your anchor or the relation you have with it.
-Unswerving support: when you assit your anchor, you count as a gang
-Veiled eyes: when you ignore blatant problem in the relationship you have with your anchor, mark experience
-In an other life: apart from modern sciences and technologies you have a vast experience, cause you lived numerous lifes during the last millenia
-Consecrated temple: you know the abyss well and some related rituals cause your soul dwells there between two reincarnations. When you gaze into the abyss from your temple and with some ceremonial, add 1 to your test.
-Astral projection: when you project your spirit, leaving your comatose body behind, to observe a scene elsewhere, test to gaze into the abyss and 1 to your test. After the scene, when you get back to your body, you get the condition "exhausted"
-Name magic: spend your strings on someone, one for one, to inflict direct damage to him. Insects come out from every holes, he's sweating blood or bile, his flesh rips open. It's mandatory to see your target, but you must spend an additionnal string to do this. For this move only, you can use Tokens like a Witch
your gang is composed of priests of Isis or equivalent
Sex move
You take care of your anchor, who loses all Conditions he has, but you gain the Condition "need reassurance". This goes off easily if your love is attentive to you without you asking for it.
If you have sex with someone else for the first time, you mark experience and he looses a string against you as he never thought you'll react like this.
Darkest self
You doubt your love. It's not him, not him anymore... Your loyalty to him across centuries has not been rewarded and the strenght which drawn you out of death's grip is faltering. Your soul leave your comatose body for the abyss*
To escape your darkest self, someone must gaze into the abyss to find you and convince you of coming back. Once you returned, he is your new anchor.
*Maybe the soulless and desiccated corpse can hunt people to drain them of their life force instead of being comatose. Like this the player won't be too passive.
Hoping I'll have some comments ^^

Not bad, but I had a few comments. I hope they make sense.
Unswerving support: I could be wrong, it's too late to check the rules now, but I believe that, unlike Apocalypse World, acting as a gang doesn't mean anything in Monsterhearts. I think you mean 'act at an advantage'.
Veiled Eyes: to a casual glance, this looks identical to a mortal move. Bad form. I understand why it's there, but it should be different in a way that emphasizes the difference in the relationship between a mummy and a mortal.
Consecrated temple seems a little weak. Rather than a +1, I think it might be better if it let you do something you can't usually do when gazing into the abyss. No ideas at the moment (it's late here. Maybe later.), but the thought's there.
Name Magic: do you mean 'it's not mandatory to see your target, but if you can't, you need to spend an extra string to use the power'?
Also: I disapprove of being able to use tokens here. It features no-where else in the playbook, is taken from another playbook and generally is unnecessary.
Darkest self: simply terrible. The Darkest Self is when the safety lights go off and the character becomes a true monster. In this DS, they lie down for a nap. Definitely, definitely, go with the version where they feed off the life force of others to sustain themselves. Perhaps exit the darkest self when you transfer your lover's soul to a more deserving host?
Anyway, those are just my thoughts. Hope they help.

Hello, and thanks for your comments
Unswerving: a gang is +1 to test or +1 to damage.
Veiled eyes is the Mortal move: as I needed to change a little terminology, I changed the name a little bit. It's difficult to have moves representative of what you think "fit the theme" and exclude all existent moves on the basis that they can be taken from other skins with advancement
Consecrated temple: maybe a time linked effect, kind of psychometry
Name magic: you suppose right. Instead of tokens, maybe a move that would allow to harvest some Strings (aura reading instead of veiled eyes ? It's becoming very auspex centered but I like this ^^)
Darkest self: I agree about becoming a "true monster" but not all are (nor should in my mind) about rampaging (ghost). If I go with the desiccated monster feeding of life force (ghoul/vampire like)part, it would be to be sure that the player isn't bored paying a comatose/narcoleptic body, and that other players are really motivated to find a solution, cause the mummy doesn't calm down by being locked down for an hour like a ghoul.
I thought about the body-swapping soul (à la Nephilim ), but it would too easily allow to escape a teenager body. I'm not sure what you meant : "my lover is a pig so I transfer is soul to a pig and I'm done with my Darkest self" ?

I like the general idea, though I'd change the name to something more generic than 'mummy', which tends to say 'Egyptian' to most Americans, I think. The Awoken? The Ancient Dead? The Sleeper?
I dig the idea that you're obsessively looking for your reincarnated beloved. It seems to me that your Darkest Self is indulging your appetite to recapture your ancient glory, going overboard with treating your modern-day friends and enemies as you would have back in the old days when you ruled all you surveyed.
This is the germ of a potentially really coll skin, keep working on it!

Hello, good idea for the Darkest self, but I think I'll stick to the eternal love themed one at first. The Sleeper is cool !
After minor changes, when your darkest self is awoken, and your soul waiting for someone to show interest in it, you're sociopath in a desicating body (1 harm per 6 hour) that can only heal by sucking life energy from living people.
Consecrated temple I went with the "no time limit" for vision in the past
Veiled eyes has been changed for Ka vision: you can perceive auras and various part of the soul, roll+dark 10+ choose between gaining a string or knowing all the target's Conditions. 7-9, choose but gain the Condition "Blinded" for the scene (you can't readjust your senses). 6- gain Blinded for the scene
Now I'll wait a potential testing and return before modifying, but it can't take a long long time. Only have one play table with programmed 2nd and 3rd session and it seems difficult to find people for a second table. Also have a Feline skin to test (I tease/I assume nothing cause I'm free/I don't need anybody/ I'm alone because I told everybody I didn't need them)

Sweet Petite Tower
Our Sweet Petite Tower is the perfect way to enjoy 6 of our Fruit Squares and 8 of our new Caramels!
Our 6pc. fruit square assortment highlights strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and apricots. To make them, we heat pure fruit puree to a high temperature, mix in sugar and pectin in small amounts, then slowly cook the mixture until it arrives at just the right consistency. The puree is then poured into a square frame, allowed to cool, then cut into one and a quarter inch squares. Finally, the cut squares are tossed in organic sugar three separate times over a period of two days. They are as fresh and supple as could be and are better than any French pate de fruits we have found
We also include four deeply dark caramels topped with fair trade cocoa nibs and four lightly salted caramels topped with Himalayan sea salt.

It's about the sheer joy of clicking the shutter .repeatly! the sweet sound of the shutter and the explosion that occurs in your head and your heart when you make the shot. The deal is the shot, you know. You make the picture and you know something just frozen solid in a shifting world.
Something stabilized, for all time. You just hung your hat on a moment that otherwise would be gone forever, and now you can go back and take a look at the moment, be it amazing or ordinary, any time you want
It's about your eye in the camera as the light hits just right. It's about the slight turn of your subject's face that speaks the truth. It's about holding your breath as you shoot. It's about the nerves, the joy, and the terror of wondering if you got it and then dancing about, punching holes in the Air when you know you did.

Cloud Nine, As Butler Likes it
My aim in this article is to investigate the patriarchal forces over marginalized groups and to scrutinize Judith Butler's notion of performativity and parody in Cloud Nine (1979), a famous play by caryl Churchill, the contemporary British playwright. What I seek to argue here is to explicate how Churchill tries to show the blurred identities between the characters, social construction of gender, and the play's comic and aesthetic effects. In this sense, I aim to investigate how social construction of gender is related to blurred boundaries. In this sense, I focus on Judith Butler's idea of gender instability and the connection between gender and performativity as well as cross-gender casting and drag or cross- dressing. Key words: patriarchy; gender performativity; parody; blurred boundaries; social construction of gender; drag

BY MARCY SHORTUSE - If you attended the three-hour Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority meeting on Valentine's Day, and many people did, it was a pretty typical bridge authority meeting. There were lots of words. Enough to make your head hurt. Lots of opinions, from board members and audience members alike. Lots of questions, too.
I understand there are a lot of questions. Sitting through a bridge meeting is a bit like walking into an advanced physics class with a basic knowledge of how to make Kool-Aid.
The News - Featured News
To the Editor:
Gasparilla Island Water Association, Inc. (GIWA) will begin work to relocate their water and sewer mains at the south bridge on the Boca Grande Causeway. This is a requirement for (GIBA) Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority to begin demolition and construction of the new south bridge in June of 2012.
Congratulations to the Reference Room and the Fust Library on their intention to merge. Also, congratulations to Alice Gorman for her column, which explained the merger in detail. The Fust Library is such a very special Boca Grande institution. It will be even more so with its planned restoration.
As a year 'round resident, it will be a great asset to us to have the library open in the summer.

This Sunday, Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., meander down to Hudson's Park and experience some of the finest delicacies that the island has to offer.
Hudson's Relay for Life Team will stimulate your taste buds with a bake sale to be remembered. Everyone is invited.
When we heard of a plan to combine the Lee County Reference Room with the Johann Fust Community Library, we asked the Fust Library's Vice President, Alice Gorman, for her input. This article was written by her, and represents information from both librarys' staff.
BY ALICE GORMAN - Everyone in Boca Grande loves the Johann Fust Community Library. The building, with its gracious gardens on 10th Street that was given to our community by the Roger Amory family, is an institution that has continued to be a place of serenity and literary resources since 1949.
Last winter, the board circulated a survey in front of the Boca Grande Post Office that asked the community for its thoughts and opinions on our library system. The results that came back gave us a clear path to the answer to the problem.

The Internal Revenue Service is not waiting for a Supreme Court decision on the health reform law. It still plans to add about 4,500 workers and spend $303.5 million building a system to oversee the health law. According to the Taxpayer Advocate Office, under the new law, Americans will have to tell the IRS – among other things – their insurance plan information, costs of family's health plans, whether employer-sponsored health insurance was an option. If you are not within the law, the IRS will hit you with a penalty based on "modified adjusted gross income," which will add back in things like non-taxable interest and excluded foreign income. The fine will be based on total household income divided by the number of household members who must have insurance under the law. Small businesses could have even more math to deal with.

Not one of them even ATTEMPTS to stop Mcgee. Mr. Toughness himself, Jonas Jerebko, is right under the basket - he actually takes a few steps out of the way to watch him dunk. 6-11, 270-something-lb Andre Drummond is right under the basket too - he actually appears to pretend to box out a non-existent Nugget in order to get out of the way. Will Bynum, who should be cutting him off at the perimeter, just slowly walks a few steps out of the way, then turns around, puts his hands up to complain. Kyle Singler, Mr. Dukie, is in a similar positon as Bynum - he actually at least took a step towards McGee before backing away to complain and watch. Kim English is the only innocent man on the court, and even his body language is disgusting. I've been a Piston fan for a long time. I've seen a lot of bad teams. I was a season ticket holder during the Don Chaney era. But I've never once seen a team that disgusted me quite as much as this one. I've never seen a play that disgusted me more than last night. And that play is very representative of what our problem has been since Ben Wallace left in '04. There is only one way Detroit has ever had a contender. There is only one way Detroit will ever be a contender. By being the toughest, meanest, hardest-working, hungriest S.O.B.'s in the league. This team that I'm watching is an absolute discrace. I don't know how Joe-D fell so far away from his Bad Boy roots, but he has. The leader and captain of this team, Tayshaun Prince, is perhaps the softest, laziest and least interested player in all the league. His biggest weakness coming out of college over a decade ago was his lack of strength. Has he added even so much as 5lbs of muscle since then!? It's pathetic. The fact that Charlie Villanueva and Austin Daye are even allowed on the bench, happy as hell to not be playing, is pathetic. The fact that a play like this can occur, and all five players on the court aren't immediately benched afterwards, is pathetic. We need a MAJOR culture change, and we need it ASAP, before our talented young players are ruined forever. I don't care how you do it, but you get rid of Tayshaun immediately. You send Charlie V home for the rest of the season and you amnesty him ASAP. You send Daye home for the rest of the season and you let him sign with a lowly European team as a free agent after the season. This season is already over. You put your young players who might have a future out there together, and you let them develop together - C: Drummond, PF: Monroe, SF: Jerebko, SG: Stuckey, PG: Knight, Bench - Singler, English, Middleton, Kravtsov. You get a high draft pick this off-season, you draft a tough, hard-nosed wing who might become a star. You've got a lot of cap space this off-season, you bring in 3 or 4 guys who actually care about winning. Guys who actually have some toughness. Guys who actually have some pride. Guys who actually want to be the best they can be. Guys who give 100%, on and off the court. Guys who take losing personally. Guys who get pissed off about losing. Guys who get pissed off about being scored on. Guys who respect their coaches. Guys who take coaching. Guys who do what their coach asks of them, without hesitation. Guys who don't go behind their coaches back to complain to the GM/Owner. Guys who hustle. Guys who dive after lose balls. Guys who aren't afraid to sacrafice their bodies and take charges (seriously, when was the last time someone even attempted to do that on this team!?). Guys who will set the tone for our young talented players. I don't care how talented these players are. If we can have a team full of players like this - in a league that is THIS soft - we will win at least half our games. We will at least be fun to watch again. And our young core might actually have a chance to develop into a good team. Man, Frig!!
The culture is a big problem, but I don't see it changing anytime soon. So while you're right that things need to change, what have we seen in the last 3 years that would lead anyone to believe that this franchise is going to make bold moves RIGHT NOW to get better? All we can do is exercise patience. I know you're trying to express a sentiment, and I appreciate you censoring the word, but it's better if we don't do that because it's essentially the same thing. Trust me, finding ways to express yourself without swearing can be a lot of fun.
This is not the bad boys. And there isn't the swagger and toughness of the LB/Flip Pistons either. The cultural problem is almost exclusively Joe's. He hired Frank. He hired the guy before Frank (how bad is it I can't remember his name). He hired Michael Curry. This team only has a few free agents on it, none of which besides Will Bynum actually play. It's basically 11 guys Joe drafted. We might be the only team in the league starting 5 of our own draft picks. Our championship team? Our only starting draft pick was Tay, and he was the 5th wheel. If you don't draft great talent, and you don't develop great talent (me in fantasy sports) you better be really good at trades and/or free agency.
I think the Pistons need to look at adding someone who can top 17 ppg regularly. Special K was crowing last night about how Stuckey averaged 17 per game in the Pistons 25 wins last year.
BA, great post. This team reminds me of the pre-KG Celtics. We need an alpha dog like him to come and whip these youngsters into shape. Looking at that McGee All Star Game type dunk, there is only ONE player that got pissed off about that and marched on to the court yelling, and that's Monroe. So, in theory he cares. Again, in theory, if we got rid of the soggy veterans (Prince, CV, Maggs), he *might* develop into that vocal leader. But, I'm not even sure about that considering how lousy his own defense is.
I thought the best play of the game was after the first alley oop to McGee where he dunked all over Drummond. On the very next Piston possession, Bynum went out of his way to set up Drummond for the answer of his own with a nice alley oop in the half court set. You could tell that Bynum was trying to send a message with that.... would have liked him to send the message more than once, but at least it was some show of pride/ competitiveness.
There seem to be a lot of good character guys on the team. No real headaches. The guys that you're probably thinking of aren't really distractions, they are just not good leaders. The team seems to have a lot of quiet ones. Even the ones that are confident are reserved in their emotions. I think that what you're getting at is the basic truism that it is hard for a younger person to establish themselves as a leader when there are more senior members surrounding them. Since being respected is usually critical to gaining followers, a younger player would need to be an obvious superstar to be in a position where he could be outspoken without rubbing guys the wrong way. If Knight acted the exact same way that LeBron acts, he'd be laughed at. Seems to me that athleticism and talent are more the issue. In the meantime, if you want a non talented vocal leader, they probably have to be older and imported (like a Grant Hill type). Until then, the coach will remain the leader.
The Pistons do seem to like slow, un-athletic players. It's like they look at the Celtics and say they aren't jumping out of the gym so why can't we do the same without realizing that the Celtics aren't jumping out of the gym because they're in their 15th year playing. The Pistons guys are 22.
Totally agree. We have a glut of (potential) talent up front, but we also need an experienced PG so an alpha-PG would be good. What I would give to have Chauncy back, but it would never happen. Is there any other alpha-PGs in the league that we could trade for now?
Not sure if it was captured on TV, but Frank leapt out of his chair so fast to call timeout after the McGee free chili dunk. The look on his face was of absolute disgust and incredulity. He was screaming his head off. I'm surprised he didn't break his fingers by how hard he called that timeout with his hands. So I don't blame Frank, he is definitely not contributing to the softness. I think Drummond and co were just trying to avoid being on a poster after blown coverage. That said, last night in the OKC game, Durant had a monster dunk on Jonas Valanciunas which most commentators derided him about, but I love the fact he didn't care and contested the dunk anyway. We need more of that kind of attitude.
TP does play slow, like we did in 2004....It is 2012, the NBA game has changed, nobody plays half court ball anymore, if you can't score, defense ain't gone win it alone, we need to get fast and physical, simple ball takes you a long way when you got athletes, when you see somebody cut, drop da rock, and whoever receives the ball, either dunk or lay it up, or get fouled, standing around trying to play slow, will get us popped every game.. Study long, study wrong! I would keep flipping the lineups until I get a streak, try this five, Bynum(1) Daye(2) Cm (3) Monroe(4) and Drummond(5), if he run them as second squad, I bet we would win......let these grown men make they money, and stop acting like he gotta fifth grade team....
JD was a soft member on the hard nosed bad boys teams. He never liked the image potrayed back then. That's why we're soft now...and why bill Laimbeer isn't a part of this organization. Watching that film makes me wonder how Gores can sign some of those checks.
This sounds reasonable and physically do-able. After all, isn't there someone, on any team (no matter how bad) that can be that guy(s) will put up those points? Usually this means a guard that can get it done, and one forward that is a shooter. They become a moon eclipse: an order of consistency that others can navigate those talented tides that come and go. It becomes a traveler'association. This has been the Piston downfall. JD fell in love with his good luck. All thought he had the midas touch. Unfortunately, JD forgot his hobo heritage. He once sat around the fire circle and understood the hooch that was passed around. Now, it is served on pre-cooked bags of popcorn. All the labels are micro-nutrients that are called out for him.

Title: | A Project Designed to Examine the Effects that Collaborative Peer Interactions have on the Professional Development of Teachers |
Author: | Holloway, Van |
Description: | Much research links collaborative experiences to the professional development of teachers. The author of this study designed a project, called the Buddy System, which provided opportunities for teachers to observe one another in the classroom and to interact with one another collaboratively. The goal was to determine if these activities provided a means of professional development. After the implementation of this sixteen-week project, the author collected data from a variety of sources which indicated that professional development had taken place. |

Another way to do that, without using "other", is this:I know, I use it to. That's the type of code I was glancing at that made the idea pop into my head. But I was looking at it and went "This isn't very clear. with is telling me that this is happening to another object, yet it's... not." It would just be neat to have something similar, and more apparent of what it's actually doing. Not necessarily the exact idea I proposed.
Or heck, if you were to use an idea like that one, just limit the scope of with to only include the object in with and have some keyword for getting the calling object:with (instance) { caller.variable = 0; }
Or whatever. Weird ideas for sure...
var me; me = id; with (instance) { me.variable = 0; }
Yes, that is an accurate description. As I said in a previous post, temporary variables behave like global variables, except they are temporary.I don't think a temporary variables counts as an instance variable. I don't know how you'd describe it, it's almost 'global', but only within a particular piece of code. (it ceases to exist outside that code/script, as you will know)
So using other.temp_variable doesn't make sense, because temporary variables don't *have* an instance they exist in.
This is my best guess. I should probably start testing around now, I'm relying on memory.. :tongue:

Happy Design Studio is forging a reputation for innovative and exciting aircraft paint schemes, highlighted by its recent win in a competition to design a new livery for the single-prop TBM 850 six-seater. The contest was launched in July by the TBM 850's manufacturer, Daher-Socata, to create a new paint scheme to be introduced for 2011 production aircraft in celebration of the company's 100th anniversary.
AIN Blogs
Jeppesen wasn't the first to offer an iPad app to the aviation market, but its Mobile TC app was worth the wait. Released at the end of last July, heavy downloading of the app caused overload of Jeppesen servers, which the company quickly corrected.
This is my first trip to Dubai, so a blog post from me on the Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) show is appropriate. Because I've attended many NBAA shows, people from AIN who've been to Dubai before have been preparing me for MEBA, with a note that this is no more than a mini-NBAA.
We're here in Dubai where we received a press release from Pratt & Whitney Canada announcing the launch of PT6Nation.com, a new microsite for operators and aficionados of the legendary PT6 turbine engine and its many variants, which currently number 68. The company is obviously getting into social networking big time.
The grand opening on September 29 of Signature Flight Support's new FBO at California's Fresno Yosemite International Airport was an interesting move. Instead of buying a facility and entering into a lease with an airport, the traditional method of FBO building, Signature signed a management contract with the FBO's owner, McDonald Aviation.
To promote its airborne Internet access system, Aircell offered NBAA showgoers a free trial of the Gogo inflight Internet service to try on the way home. Available on many airlines, Gogo offers connection speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps, likely as fast as many DSL services for home use.
Sometimes we like to blow our own horns a bit.
The NBAA National Meeting and Convention will be hosting a Career in Business Aviation Day on Thursday for local youth from 12 years old to college students. The goal of this initiative is to slow the erosion of existing talent in the business aviation industry and attract the next generation of aviation enthusiasts and innovators.
Rome wasn't built in a day. And neither was the 2010 NBAA Annual Meeting and Convention in Atlanta, which runs from October 19 to 21 this year.
From an outsider's perspective, the convention is a show and tell of the industry's futuristic designs and lavish lifestyles. Some exhibits could draw comparison to a space-age Ritz Carlton lounge bar.
The power of Twitter compels you. Well, at least, it should.
When it comes to online business networking, Twitter is king. But business aviation veterans have been hesitant to adopt networking tools, such as Twitter, to increase awareness and outside interaction with the aviation world. I have heard phrases like "It's not used in our demographic," and "I don't have the time," which to me sounds suspiciously like an excuse.

It's that time of year again: when you either love or hate listening to the radio. That's right, it's Christmas song season, when all those secular and religious songs come blaring at you the day after Thanksgiving and end immediately after Christmas dinner.
I love all sorts of Christmas songs. Christian hymns, modern pop songs, choral hits. I don't mind if a song wants to tell me about Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, or about angelic hosts heard on high; they both have their place among our enjoyment of the Advent and Christmas season. (During Mass, however, song selection is a totally different story.)
While most of us have heard of Christmas songs by Mariah Carey and Nat King Cole, I wanted to highlight a few songs by Christian artists that I think are excellent and worthy of your attention. Now sit back, grab a candy cane and some hot chocolate, and take a listen to some of my Christmas favorites.

Help on the way: Irving could play against Pacers on Wednesday
INDEPENDENCE — If Kyrie Irving is able to clear one more hurdle, the Cavaliers point guard could get clearance to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
He took part in non-contact drills in practice on Monday at Cleveland Clinic Courts.
If he comes through that unscathed, he could graduate to their full-contact practice on Today.
Irving, 19, is recovering from a concussion he suffered in the Miami game on Feb. 7. He's missed the last three games.
The 6-foot-3, 191-pounder will be re-evaluated by team doctors either late Monday or early Tuesday.
"All I know is when I talked to (Cavs athletic trainer Max Benton), he said the doctors would re-evaluate him and let us know tomorrow how he feels and what's going on," coach Byron Scott said.
Scott said he's hoping to have Irving ready for the Pacers, but he's preparing for the worst. If he can't play or doesn't get medical clearance, Ramon Sessions will start at point guard.
Sessions has dished out an average of 12.3 assists in his three games in the starting lineup.
Center Anderson Varejao, who suffered a non-displaced fracture of his right wrist in Friday's game against Milwaukee, remains out indefinitely.
Scott said there's been no talk about having surgery, which would likely wipe out the rest of his season. Continued...
"As of today, all I've heard was that further tests will be done to determine a time frame," Scott said.
Scott is anxious to find out exactly how long Varejao will be out.
"He has the soft cast on right now and again all I'm doing is asking them to tell me a timeframe," he said. "I'm not trying to get all the particulars. Just let me know if he's going to be out a week, two weeks, six weeks or eight weeks. Just let me know."
The coach hopes his players got over their mourning period for Varejao.
"I told them I hope that the last game was a one-time hangover," Scott said. "I understand from a player's standpoint, when you're missing someone as important as Andy is to us, I understand that you're going to probably feel a little disappointment or sadness that he's not out there because he gives you everything he's got.
"But like I've said in the past, it gives other guys opportunities and they better be ready to step up and take the challenge. We still have to move on."
Guard Anthony Parker (strained lower back) didn't practice and won't play against the Pacers. Guard Daniel Gibson tweaked his ankle in the Philadelphia game on Saturday, but he'll remain in the starting lineup on Wednesday.
Scott said he wouldn't blame the five-month lockout on the rash of injuries around the league.
"(The injuries) might be magnified because there's a short season," he said.
Oh Uzoh Continued...
Recently signed point guard Ben Uzoh made his Cavs' debut on Saturday in their loss to Philadelphia. He dished out two assists, had three rebounds and two points in 5 minutes, 24 seconds.
"We teased him in the film room today that in the first 14 seconds he played, he got three shots up," Scott said. "We said he got a little greedy out there."
Scott was amazed by how quickly Uzoh has picked up the offense.
"He knows everything we told him to run," he said. "We gave him a short playbook, but he has it down pat. The scary part is we have four or five guys who aren't even close to him.
That's the scary part. It's either that he is very, very smart, or we've got four guys that are very, very dumb."
Semih's golden opportunity
Scott said Semih Erden will start at center to help counter 7-2 Roy Hibbert of the Pacers.
Erden didn't score in 14 minutes against the Sixers. Scott was asked why he was sticking with Erden, who didn't play particularly well on Saturday.
"That's an understatement," Scott said. "I've got to give him a chance. We're playing a team in Indiana that has a 7-footer who is pretty good and just made the All-Star team. I think it's a great challenge for him.
"I'm hoping he looks at it as, 'I've got a golden opportunity here. I better try and take advantage of it." Continued...
Omri's adventure
Scott said he wants struggling forward Omri Casspi to play harder.
"He has to run the floor better, run the floor harder," he said. "He has to do all the little things we talked about two or three weeks ago. (He has to) get in there and fight, rebound the ball, and quit thinking about scoring so much.
"I think if he can just get to where he's a little more aggressive on the defensive end, everything else will take care of itself."

Microsoft is back in the home automation business with the acquisition of id8 Group R2 Studios, Inc., launched in 2011 by Slingbox founder Blake Krikorian. (Update: The Wall Street Journal notes that the acquisition is related primarily to id8's digital media technology, and that Krikorian will most likely be joining Microsoft's Xbox team. The WSJ also alludes to Krikorian's home automation technology: "As part of the deal, Microsoft also acquired some patents owned by the startup related to controlling electronic devices.")
It had been rumored that Apple, Google and Microsoft were bidding on the company.
Krikorian's first big play in home automation was creating the first Android app for Crestron, the leading manufacturer of professionally installed home-control systems.
Electronic House's sister publication CE Pro broke the news on that product, codenamed R2, in 2010. It began shipping in May 2011.
But while Crestron might be the biggest player in the market for professionally installed automation systems, it is after all a relatively small market. Neither Krikorian nor Microsoft is particularly interested in niche markets. They'll be shooting for the do-it-yourself masses.
No home automation vendor has yet to penetrate the DIY mass market, although Motorola was starting to gain traction with its acquisition of 4Home in 2010. Verizon began selling a remote home control and monitoring system based on that home automation platform in 2011.
It won't be Microsoft's first attempt. The software giant has tried and failed to tap the home automation market for at least two decades, first with UPnP and home automation device control protocols in the mid 1990s. Then again, timing is everything.
Earlier this year, Microsoft launched HomeOS, presumably a platform for the connected home. The company released a prototype to academic institutions "to encourage teaching and research on connected homes and devices." At the time, Sigma Designs provided an SDK for Z-Wave devices.

Snowy Night
The Christmas season is another wonderful opportunity to go for a hike, especially for families looking for something fun to do either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, or for folks looking to wear off some of those scrumptious baked goodies we all indulge in during this season!
Many years ago, I took my toddler daughter out for nighttime walks through the snowy fields where we lived. I bundled her up well and packed her, tucked in with woolen blankets, into an old carriage bed tied atop a Flexible Flyer sled and over the fields we went. The moon and starlight made all the snow glisten like myriad diamonds. The night time silence was soothing after busy holiday season activities. If you get the right night, the moon light on the snow can make it appear almost like day light outside.
As the kids grew older, night time walks became a treasured activity. Thoughts got shared that might not have been spoken in all the busyness of our days. Memories were stored up as we saw things the sleeping world was missing. A cup of hot chocolate when we arrived back home warmed us up and made a perfect ending to the evening. Bundle up well and go for a night time hike and you will find a new activity to treasure during this season.

text: TIPA defines the compact system cameras - 07/06/2010 Madrid, May 2010 - When the members of TIPAs Technical Committee (TC) began working on the 2010 awards nomination process they quickly realised that a new category needed adding to the usual list. By announcing the Micro Four Thirds standard, based upon the existing Four Thirds System at Photokina in 2008, Olympus and Panasonic have revived the concept of the small format camera with interchangeable lenses. Whether these cameras are fitted with or without an electronic viewfinder, the concept is based on the product being compact, light and flexible so that different lenses can be interchanged. Since the debut of the Panasonic Lumix G1 in 2008, followed by the Olympus PEN E-P1 in 2009, the market has reacted positively. Following the addition of new models and the challenge from competitors as powerful as Samsung and Sony, it was clear the TC who report to TIPA members at the General Assembly had to find an easily recognisable and remembered definition for this new category. The TC considered many proposals by TIPA members as well as early definitions used by manufacturers themselves. At this years TIPA General Assembly a solution was approved and now the name Compact System Camera or CSC has been adopted by TIPA. The ubiquitous D for digital was considered unnecessary and dropped. I believe what TIPA has proposed is the perfect name to identify this new type of camera, said Thomas Gerwers, Chairman of the Technical Image Press Association. It is clear and easy for users to understand and the concept is entirely consistent with the acronyms currently being employed by the photographic industry. TIPA hopes the whole industry and the media community will share the Compact System Camera name and shortcut CSC, just as has previously happened with the globally used terms of TTL, SLR, and DSLR. |

Google Android and the Dream Phone
Google's software for mobile communication, Android, is scheduled for release in November along with the Dream ''GPhone."
News about the software is based on official announcements on the developer's platform, and speculation about the hardware is based on test results published by the American testing body, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The mobile platform Engadget first called attention to the simultaneous timing of the software and hardware releases when the company discovered that the mobile telephone ''DREA100,'' from Korean manufacturer HTC, had been granted permission to sell in the U.S. after being tested by the FCC.
The Google handset, which the media nicknamed the GPhone, should reach American stores by November 10, just in time for the holiday rush.
Ironically, a secrecy clause in the FCC document drew attention to the product in the first place. The FCC should have kept the information under wraps until the release. Documents published by the FCC include construction plans that show a so-called "jogball" as the main operating device, similar to the Blackberry.
The German telephone giant T-Mobile, currently the fourth largest telecommunications provider in the American market, is partnered with HTC and Google.
Google's Dream - published by FCC
Software intended for the handset has been released by the Google developers as a Beta version, Number 0.9 SDK, and the final version 1.0 is planned for the last quarter of this year.
Dan Morrill, one of the developers, lists some of the more important changes and additions on his blog. "First and most obviously, the new Home screen is included, along with a ton of UI changes for 1.0. Some new applications are included: an Alarm Clock, Calculator, Camera, Music player, Picture viewer, and Messaging (for SMS/MMS conversations.) Several new development tools were added, such as a graphical preview for XML layouts for users of Eclipse, and a tool for constructing 9-patch images," he writes.
A comprehensive list of changes and additions and the free software are available on the Android Developer website.

I was looking for a curved finished wood railing to provide decorative support in the entrance to my new motorhome. This twin headboard was the perfect color match for the woodwork in the RV, and was easily attached to the existing woodwork/back of the dinette using the already drilled holes. (The dinette can be converted into a twin bed, so I guess the headboard also functions as a headboard as well as a support/railing.) The wood is stained a lovely shade, and the design of the headboard worked perfectly to provide support and not have sharp edges to bump into. It is also a very attractive design. Although the wood is a hard wood, it has acquired a number of dents on the curved top just from being installed. However, they are noticeable only to me. Overall, I am delighted with this purchase.
