Here's Adrian Newey's latest work of automotive art which, if history repeats itself, will yet again dominate the F1 calendar. The RB10 looks especially promising since it's pretty, and the good looking cars are usually the fast ones, too.
While you decide whether you like this or the Mercedes W05 better, let's recap the basics.
Red Bull has been pretty much unbeatable for the last three seasons. For this year, Ricciardo replaces Webber as Vettel's teammate, but the technology brought in by the new regulations is unknown territory for everyone.
So while Renault seems to know how to build an engine, Vettel still might just be looking at his most challenging year so far. Excellent news indeed.
In the meantime, analyze the nose of Newey's latest creation. Who knows, he might have just built a winning car again...

On Saturday, April 26, the plaza in front of the Bullock Texas State History Museum will resemble a high school battle of the bands. Instead of marching bands, however, the Big Squeeze Accordion contest will greet unsuspecting visitors.
Tourists will have to weave around makeshift folding chair camps set up by families and fans, there to cheer their hometown Conjunto, zydeco or polka hero or heroine.
It's the last stop for nine musicians selected from more than half a dozen talent showcases across Texas. While three will leave the competition as Grand Prize Winners for their respective genre, each contestant made it through the hardest part of the competition—the talent showcase.
The last showcase, in early April, was in San Antonio at the Gallista Gallery. The small venue was packed with parents, family members and smart phones—all aimed at the musicians and taping. As an audience member, you could see the weight that the evening's performance carried on the accordionists and their parents.
Despite last-minute jitters, the six musicians who performed that night played their hearts out to the rhythm of their accordions.
· Cheerful thirteen-year-old Valerie Morales, of Houston, performed on a trend-setting pink accordion.
- Sixteen-year-old Nizhoni Begay, of San Antonio, set the fashion bar with a vintage sequined Mexican skirt, and earned an Honorable Mention for her performance.
- The outstanding set by 18-year-old Juan Ruiz, Junior, of Laredo, was gleefully photo bombed by his toddler brother, who ran to the stage with his accordion in tow.
- Fifteen-year-old Rito Pena, of San Antonio, became one with his accordion-and earned an Honorable Mention for the performance.
- Nineteen-year-old Aaron Salinas, of San Antonio, had the showiest accordion of all, and will be one of Saturday's Conjunto finalist's.
- Eight-year-old Nathan Alzade of Seguin, whose fedora matched his dad's and is a veteran contestant, is on his way to becoming a future Conjunto finalist contender.
Personal Note:
Way, way, way back, in another century I attended the first Tejano Conjunto Festival in San Antonio. It was at Market Square and Santiago Jimenez Senior was one of the performers. I remember a lot of really good music and almostnon-stopdancing. However, I don't remember seeing pink accordions, women or under 21 performers, and much less a future accordionist in toddler drypers. Change is good.
Good luck to all of Saturday's performers.

Eric Snow, Comcast SportsNet's color analyst for the Sixers, seemed to drift off in the middle of the Philadelphia-Houston game last night. 7th & Pattison recorded the moment for our scrutiny: with just a few minutes remaining in the second quarter, Snow seems to bail on his play-by-play man, Marc Zumoff. After a few seconds of silence, Zumoff asks Snow, "You meditating?" Snow stirs, mutters something about "trying to stay awoke," and then attempts to relate his in-game catnap to a player's need for a "burst of energy." The Sixers went on to win, 114-105.

We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists
There's a war on—over freedom of speech and information on the Internet. In this era of fractured media, decreased privacy and increasing corporate and government control, that war is affecting us all—even if we're unaware of it. So whether you think the cyberactivists of Anonymous are hooligans or heroes, We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists is required viewing.
It's also thought-provoking and highly entertaining, charged with the cerebral-but-feisty energy of the hacker-activists themselves. They drive the film's narrative forward with first-hand accounts of how, within just a few years, nerd culture spawned a serious political movement
From chatting on 4chan to subversive Internet pranking to taking on the Church of Scientology, Anonymous grew from a subculture to a force to be reckoned with. Along the way, the hacktivists branded themselves with theatrics like a threatening YouTube video and the now-famous Guy Fawkes mask (initially worn for the protection of, well, anonymity). Those visuals, coupled with random bad behavior by nihilist hacker factions within Anon, secured their reputation as what one media scholar in the film calls "the rude boys of the Internet."
Then, according to We Are Legion, there was a defining schism. Those who made mischief for mischief's sake pulled away from Anonymous (or were pushed), leaving it to those who saw their role as defenders of freedom of speech, access to information, and yes, even democracy.
According to the sharply edited presentation of writer/director/producer Brian Knappenberger, Anonymous has grown up and is using its power radically but responsibly. When PayPal decided to support the War on Terror by blocking its customers' contributions to WikiLeaks in 2010, Anonymous jammed up the PayPal site and established itself as the cybermuscle behind the court of public opinion. Occupy would not have taken off as it did without the support and example of the Anonymous movement. Anon's finest hour so far was during the Arab Spring, when it provided communications assistance to pro-democracy organizers after the Tunisian government cut off an entire country's Internet access.
That's why Anonymous matters. The collective is a counterforce to powers that would control the public's right to know or right to speak. It can act quickly to send tyrants and censors a strong message. And according to We Are Legion, the cyberbattle has just begun.
The debt resisters of Occupy Wall Street mobilize arts, education, and media for a "People's Bailout."
On the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, we gathered together just a few of the most vibrant projects taking place under the movement's banner and put them in a visual format.

No. 101,104
1. The State can appeal by right only in limited circumstances in juvenile-offender or criminal cases. In other circumstances, the State may appeal on a question reserved for appellate review, but an appeal is heard on a question reserved only when the matter is of some statewide importance, not merely to show that the district court was wrong in a particular case.
2. The appellate court's ruling on a question reserved does not have any effect on the juvenile offender or criminal defendant in that case.
3. In an extended-jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364 provides that the district court include both a juvenile sentence and an adult sentence, but the adult sentence is stayed on the condition that the juvenile comply with the conditions of the juvenile sentence and not commit a new offense. If the district court finds that the juvenile has violated the conditions of the juvenile sentence, K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364(b) requires the court to impose the adult sentence.
Appeal from Finney District Court; MICHAEL L. QUINT, judge. Opinion filed April 24, 2009. Question reserved sustained.
Lara Blake Bors, assistant county attorney, John P. Wheeler, Jr., county attorney, and Stephen N. Six, attorney general, for appellant.
Douglas C. Spencer, of Spencer & Spencer, P.A., of Oakley, for appellee.
Before HILL, P.J., ELLIOTT and LEBEN, JJ.
LEBEN, J.: After E.F. failed to meet the terms of his juvenile sentence, the district court granted adult probation rather than imposing the adult prison sentence in E.F.'s extended-jurisdiction juvenile proceeding. Because the State lacks the right to appeal an order granting probation in juvenile and adult criminal cases, the State has appealed on a question reserved that we can only review if it is a recurring matter of statewide importance. As our ruling has no effect on E.F., we must first determine whether the district court's decision to consider alternative sentencing options rather than revoking E.F.'s juvenile sentence and imposing the adult prison sentence is an issue of statewide importance before we may then discuss and answer the State's question reserved.
The State's Question Reserved Is an Issue of Statewide Importance and Should Not Be Dismissed.
The State reserved its right to appeal the district court's authority to grant a nonprison sanction after finding that E.F. had violated his extended-jurisdiction juvenile sentence. Although the propriety of the district court's order is properly before us, our ruling doesn't affect E.F. because the State has no right to appeal an order granting probation in juvenile and criminal cases. See K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2381(a); K.S.A. 22-3602(b); State v. Ruff, 252 Kan. 625, Syl. ¶ 3, 847 P.2d 1258 (1993). We generally allow review on a question reserved to consider a matter of statewide importance that may recur so that the criminal law may be uniformly administered throughout the state, not merely to show that a specific decision by a district court was wrong. See State v. Hurla, 274 Kan. 725, 728, 56 P.3d 252 (2002). An appellate ruling on a question reserved has no effect on the juvenile offender or criminal defendant involved in the underlying case; the appellate court reviews the question only because an answer to it is needed to guide the handling of future cases. See Ruff, 252 Kan. at 630.
The proper interpretation of K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364 when the terms of a juvenile sentence have been violated is of statewide importance. The Kansas Supreme Court confirmed this when it granted a motion to publish our court's opinion that addressed this issue in State v. J.H., 40 Kan. App. 2d 643, 646-67, 197 P.3d 467 (2007) (interpreting K.S.A. 38-16,126[b], since recodified at K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364). Motions to publish unpublished opinions are granted only when the opinion is of some importance, such as when it involves a legal issue of continuing interest. See Supreme Court Rule 7.04(b) (2008 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 53). But does this issue continue to be of statewide importance since our court has already addressed it in J.H.? If not, we should dismiss the appeal. See State v. Tremble, 279 Kan. 391, 394, 109 P.3d 1188 (2005).
Perhaps because our decision will have no effect on E.F., E.F.'s two-page appellate brief is more brief than helpful. Without any arguments or rationale, E.F. simply suggests that J.H. should be reconsidered in light of the Kansas Supreme Court's decision in In re L.M., 286 Kan. 460, 186 P.3d 164 (2008), the requirement that placement at Labette Correctional Conservation Camp be considered in adult cases under K.S.A. 21-4603d(g), and the constitutional right of equal protection of the laws. The State did not respond to these rationales for reconsidering J.H.
We think it is a close call whether reconsideration of J.H. in light of these issues is a matter of statewide importance. Although the statutory interpretation found in J.H. and discussed later is straightforward and, in our view, not subject to serious debate, that statute has since been recodified as part of the overall revision of the juvenile-justice code. So there may be some value in a ruling that the analysis found in J.H. remains good law under the new code. In addition, In re L.M. was a significant case, and its impact on existing caselaw is a subject of some interest. We will therefore consider the State's appeal.
When a District Court Finds that a Juvenile Has Violated the Conditions of the Juvenile Sentence, the Court Must Impose the Adult Sentence.
Extended-jurisdiction juvenile proceedings have been used since 1997 so that some juveniles who might otherwise have been waived up to adult court may remain within the juvenile sentencing system. As former Chief Justice McFarland explained last year, the basic outline of the system calls for an adult sentence that is imposed only if the juvenile fails to satisfactorily complete an initial juvenile sentence:
"In an extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution, the court imposes both a juvenile and an adult sentence. The adult sentence is stayed as long as the juvenile complies with and completes the conditions of the juvenile sentence. If, however, the juvenile violates the conditions of the juvenile sentence, the juvenile sentence is revoked, the adult sentence is imposed, and the juvenile court transfers jurisdiction of the case to the adult court." In re L.M., 286 Kan. at 485 (McFarland, C.J., dissenting).
Here, E.F. was prosecuted in an extended-jurisdiction juvenile proceeding, and he admitted to violating the conditions of his juvenile sentence. The district court also found that E.F. had violated it.
Proceedings under extended juvenile jurisdiction are all set out in K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364. Subsection (a) provides that the sentence in an extended-jurisdiction juvenile prosecution shall include both a juvenile sentence and an adult sentence, but the adult sentence "shall be stayed on the condition that the juvenile offender not violate the provisions of the juvenile sentence and not commit a new offense." Subsection (b) provides that once the district court finds that conditions of the juvenile sentence have been violated, "the court shall revoke the juvenile sentence and order the imposition of the adult sentence," and the extended juvenile jurisdiction is then terminated.
So it would seem that the district court's obligation in E.F.'s case under K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364(b) was to "revoke the juvenile sentence and order the imposition of the adult sentence." The State certainly argued to impose the adult prison sentence at the hearing. But E.F. said that he had applied for--and gained acceptance to--the Labette Correctional Conservation Camp. Although his juvenile sentence was intensively supervised probation, he asked the district court to send him to Labette as a condition of a new, adult probation. Though the district court noted "at least a significant issue as to whether or not I have the authority to put you in Labette," the court granted the disposition E.F. requested.
The district court granted adult probation even though K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364(b) provides that when a court finds that a juvenile has violated the juvenile sentence, as E.F. did, the court "shall revoke the juvenile sentence and order the imposition of the adult sentence previously ordered." Our court has already held that this language means what it says: when its terms are met, the statute "compel[s] incarceration" and leaves the district court no room to consider other alternatives. State v. J.H., 40 Kan. App. 2d at 646-47.
While E.F. suggests that we should reconsider J.H. in light of In re L.M., we see nothing in the court's opinion in In re L.M. that would suggest any change from our court's straightforward reading of K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364. The court in L.M. held that because the Kansas juvenile-justice system had become more akin to adult proceedings over the years, juveniles have a constitutional right to a jury trial. 286 Kan. 460, Syl. ¶ 2. But extended-jurisdiction juvenile proceedings have always been recognized as serious cases, and K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2347(f)(4) already provided the right to a jury trial to juveniles in those proceedings. And that provision was in effect in 2007 when E.F. admitted he had committed aggravated assault and was sentenced. See L. 2006, ch. 169, secs. 47, 141 (adopting provision now codified as K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2347 effective January 1, 2007). Thus, we do not see any reason to believe that In re L.M. would impact the proper reading of the statutory language of K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364.
Nor do constitutional rights to equal protection come into play here as E.F. also suggests. Age is not a suspect classification for equal-protection analysis, so all that's required for a statutory distinction on the basis of a juvenile's age is a rational basis. Christopher v. State, 36 Kan. App. 2d 697, Syl. ¶ 12, 143 P.3d 685 (2006). The State has established a system for juveniles in extended-jurisdiction proceedings under which the juvenile may gain the benefit of juvenile sentencing statutes rather than being waived to adult court. In return for that benefit, the juvenile must comply with the juvenile sentence or end up serving an adult sentence. The State certainly has a legitimate interest in juvenile offenders complying with their sentences, and the State may rationally first handle serious juvenile offenders within the juvenile system before then imposing an adult sentence. There is no equal-protection violation through the sentencing scheme at issue here.
E.F.'s last argument, based on K.S.A. 21-4603d(g), isn't properly before us in this case because it couldn't have benefitted E.F. Sometimes in an adult criminal case, the district court is required under K.S.A. 21-4603d(g) to consider a placement at the Labette Correctional Conservation Camp before sending the defendant to prison. But the sentencing journal entry for E.F. showed that he had a criminal-history score of "B," and the provisions of K.S.A. 21-4603d(g) do not benefit a defendant with such a serious criminal-history score. Although E.F.'s brief doesn't really sketch out a full argument, we surmise that he is claiming that when the dual juvenile and adult sentences are adopted in an extended-jurisdiction juvenile proceeding, the district court must factor K.S.A. 21-4603d(g) into its consideration of the adult sentence. In opposition, one might argue that the initial juvenile sentence serves the equivalent purpose. But we conclude that we should not attempt to resolve this issue in this question-reserved appeal since the issue was never raised to the district court, has only been cursorily mentioned on appeal, and didn't impact the offender involved in this case at all.
We conclude that J.H. properly interpreted the statutory language now found in K.S.A. 2008 Supp. 38-2364. When the district court finds that the offender has violated the conditions of the juvenile sentence, the court must impose the adult sentence.
We therefore sustain the State's appeal on the question reserved.

Err no, you just play in Australia in December/January and England in June/July or whatever, as happens already. You can have an equal gap for 2 series every 3/5/7 years and so on. If they were in the same hemisphere it would be every 2/4/6 years and so on.Originally Posted by Lillian Thomson

Yea, but you can still manage it so that the 2 1/2 year gaps are alternated or shared and you retain the current frequency of Ashes series.
Wouldn't that start getting confusing - there'd be 3 years then 5 years between series in one of the countries.

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
Why couldn't it be every 1.5 years? So it'd be 06/07, 08, 09/10, 11
Or something.

There is no reason to change anything, it's traditionally been every 4 fours in each country and for most of that time the smaller gap has been after the series in Australia until in changed in the 1970's. The only problem in recent history is the infrequency with which England look like winning.
The England team that won the last Ashes probably would have bagged the Aussies, or at least challenged them a fair bit. It's hard when you lose a world class opener, a world class captain and a potentially world class fast bowler.Originally Posted by Stumped

When Tim Griffin first auditioned for a role in NBC's "Prime Suspect," he read for a completely different part than that of NYPD Det. Augie Blando.
But after meeting the veteran character actor, producers Peter Berg and Alexandra Cunningham asked him to try out for Irish cop Augie.
"Now that I've done this part, it's the only part I can see that I ever should have been playing," the Chicago native told me. "Given my family history—I'm Timothy Collins Griffin—it's like it couldn't have been a better match."
The affable Griffin has a point. During our hour-long phone conversation in which he told plenty of stories about growing up in Lincoln Park, his love of the Cubs and his past movie roles, he showed the same playful sense of humor that Augie uses to keep things light even during the darkest of homicide investigations.
"[Augie's] the class clown of the squad and [Tim's] the class clown of the cast," Cunningham said during a separate interview with the show's star, Maria Bello.
"Tim is one of the funniest people I've ever met in my life," Bello said. "He makes me laugh every single day."
Bello plays Jane Timoney, a gruff detective new to the homicide division in the series that airs at 9 p.m. Thursdays on NBC and is based on the British show of the same name.
Jane initially alienates Augie and the other male detectives who call themselves the "Beef Trust." In the two episodes that have aired so far, they have only sporadically accepted Jane into the fold, despite her obvious prowess at solving cases.
"We slowly recognize that she's great at her job. She might not have the most accessible personality, but she becomes part of our squad," Griffin said, promising a lot of humorous moments that bring the squad members closer together.
Griffin said the writers have picked up on the relationships between the actors to bring a lot of that interplay to life. He and Bello, for example, had co-starred in two films prior to getting "Prime Suspect." When they saw each other on set, they couldn't believe it. "We just had a natural rapport," he said. "We're all like brothers and sisters now."
"Abduction" and "Carjacked," the two films he did with Bello, are not Griffin's only big screen roles this year. He also appeared in "Conception" with Julie Bowen and David Arquette, "Super 8" with Kyle Chandler and the latest film from director Chris Weitz titled "A Better Life."
That's a whole lot of acting for a guy who sort of accidentally fell into the profession.
As a fifth grader he gained the attention of Chicago casting agents when he starred in a school production of "Oliver Twist." It led to his acting in local stage productions from the Goodman and Body Politic theaters, among others. But he wasn't convinced he wanted to act for a living, so he went to college at the University of Vermont where he double majored in English and Political Science, but kept acting as a hobby with a group called the University Players.
In summer 1988, Griffin the sophomore was driving home to Chicago when his car broke down outside of New York City. So he called his best friend's mom, Maureen Brookman, a Chicago agent he had worked with in the past, who told him about auditions for an After School Special called "Taking a Stand."
"I ended up auditioning for it and winning this role," he said, chuckling. "And people were actually mad at me, like, 'Who is this frickin' kid? Where'd he come from?'
"And I said, 'I'm from Chicago. My car just broke down here."
His experience on that film and several other TV gigs that summer convinced him to pursue acting, so he moved to L.A. with a mandate that he had one year to become a legitimate actor.
The rest, as they say, is history. He appeared in tons of TV shows and before being cast by John Singleton in the film "Higher Learning." He's gone on to star in such films as "Cloverfield," "Star Trek," "Leatherheads," "Men Who Stare at Goats" and "The Bourne Supremacy" (where Matt Damon broke his nose).
With this year's "Abduction," he was reunited with Singleton.
"Now 20 years later, we're doing 'Abduction' together," he said. "You know what I mean? I'm just a this Chicago boy; it's sort of crazy."
When Tim Griffin first auditioned for a role in NBC's "Prime Suspect," he read for a completely different part than that of NYPD Det. Augie Blando.

The Miami Dolphins and linebacker Cameron Wake have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $49 million, including $20 million guaranteed, a source with knowledge of the situation said Sunday.
"It's kind of like taking things to another level, kind of like when I came down here from the (Canadian Football League)," Wake told The Associated Press. "It has been an amazing, amazing journey."
The Dolphins later confirmed the deal via their official Twitter feed and said the extension runs the 2016 season, but they didn't reveal financial terms.
"So far, so good," Wake said about the direction of the team under new head coach Joe Philbin. "Just trying to make it a first-class organization from top to bottom, and making sure we have everything we need to be successful. We are taking big strides to make sure that 2012 will be a good season for everybody."
Wake, who had been off Twitter for the past month, sent his followers a message Sunday morning, hinting at something of interest before the deal was announced.
...........................................Guess what............................................â Cameron Wake (@Kold91) May 6, 2012
"We are pleased that we were able to reach an agreement with Cam and his agent, Paul Sheehy to extend Cam's contract," Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said in statement released by the team. "Cam has been a productive player ever since he joined the Dolphins, and has been a great teammate and an outstanding citizen. His work ethic and professionalism on the field and in the locker room has made him a leader by example. We also appreciate all the community activities he has done.
"We always try to reward our own players for their contributions to the team and Cam certainly deserves that recognition. I want to thank Cam and Paul for their hard work in getting this extension done."
Wake had been disgruntled with his contract situation and didn't attend the start of the Dolphins' voluntary offseason workout program. He was scheduled to earn $615,000 in the final year of a four-year deal that he signed with the Dolphins after leaving the Canadian Football League.
The 30-year-old linebacker out of Penn State has recorded 28 sacks during his three-year NFL career. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2010.

No Photos? No Problem
How many of your most treasured memories have a perfect photo capturing the very essence of the moment you want to scrapbook? If you've put off scrapbooking your stories because of missing photos, delay no longer. Here are two easy solutions to help you capture those photo-less memories before they fade.
Solution #1: Feature Memorabilia
Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat by Lisa Swift, as seen in the July/August 2011 issue of Creating Keepsakes.
Movie tickets from a first date. Coins from a trip overseas. Fabric from a childhood dress. They all come with memories and they're all worthy of preservation. Forget the photos and let memorabilia star in next layout as Lisa did here. If you're concerned about acidity, safeguard your items with acid-free spray or place them in acid-free clear envelopes.
See another solution for scrapbooking stories without photos on page 2.

Ever since The Jetsons were popular on TV, the notion of a flying car has been the dream of people around the world.
But the big issue is that George Jetson made it look easy. If you didn't realize it, flying is actually incredibly complicated.
Add the need for wings and an additional powertrain, and a flying car becomes an even tougher proposition. And no matter what was said in Back to the Future, a flying car would still very much need roads.
However, Boston-based Terrafugia believes they have made the best compromise they can with the Transition, a street-legal flying car.
Yes, you read that right: You may soon be seeing a plane next to you on the road.
But what would it be like to own the $279,000 Transition?

Eddie McGuire blames ugly football on too many 'spuds'
Collingwood president Eddie McGuire has blamed what appears to be an increasing prevalence of ugly football on clubs having too many untalented "spuds" because of the draft concessions given to expansion clubs.
The Swans' dour 11-point win over Richmond on Friday night, where only 16 goals were kicked despite a combined 730 disposals, was another flashpoint in the congested football and rolling-maul debate. The Tigers were also criticised on Saturday for their willingness to hold on to the ball through short kicks and their indirect play. The Swans, by contrast, appeared to want to open up the contest.
That the umpires appear to be holding off for longer from blowing the whistle when the ball is stuck in a pack also adds to the congested look, prompting AFL umpires boss Wayne Campbell to admit on ABC radio that Friday night had been "a bit of a mystery" with umpires taking too long to blow their whistle.
"Clearly, we are having some trouble with holding the ball [decisions] at the moment," Campbell said.
Attendances have dipped in Melbourne this year, possibly in part because power clubs Richmond, Carlton and Essendon have had indifferent campaigns, and this wasn't helped by a poor turnout of 34,633 who showed up at the MCG on Friday night.
Congested football has been of an increasing concern among some commentators, with AFL legend Kevin Bartlett even fearful for the game's future while Leigh Matthews has suggested implementing zones.
McGuire said the draft concessions given to the Gold Coast Suns and Greater Western Sydney, robbing rival sides of blue-chip talent, was now having a negative impact on the look of many games.
"What we are seeing at the moment is the extrapolation of all things that the AFL has put in. The commission has been fantastic and we love them being independent, but they are not the Vatican, they are not without blame," he said.
"If you look at last night's [Friday] game, and everyone is carrying on, there is a reason why the football standard is down at the moment and that's because we have too many 'spuds' playing. It's as simple as that.
"When the actual motion [for expansion] was put at the president's meeting and they said: 'What do we all think?' I said: 'I am all for this'. They said: 'Why?' I said: 'Because I reckon I am a chance to get a game'.
"The spread is too much. We have too many blokes playing at the top level who aren't top-level players."
McGuire warned there could be more pain ahead in terms of the spread of talent in this year's draft.
"I will put up another one that is going to become a very vexed topic for the next two years - and that is the academies that Brisbane and Sydney have got," he said.
"There is no one out of Western Australia this year [of note in the national draft] so you have got NSW and Queensland where they have their own academies. They have got kids there that are 12 years of age and can be brought through and nurtured. I know of one boy who is nine in Sydney.
"The rest of us this year have to have a lucky dip, basically, out of Victoria and South Australia. It's tough out there. We said at the time [of expansion] it was spread too thin but we have got what we have got and we have to bounce back from it."
* Brisbane Lions' board director Leigh Matthews has confirmed the club has opened discussions with former Carlton chief executive Greg Swann, who offically left the Blues on Friday. Matthews said he hopes Swann takes charge of the financially struggling club.

The Ironman triathlon is a challenging test of an athlete's mental, emotional and physical stamina. To make sure that you survive the rigorous demands of an Ironman competition, it is important to strength train for all three sports portions: swimming, bike riding and running to finish successfully.
Training for the Ironman competition normally takes 20 to 36 weeks, depending on how physically in shape you are. The first month of your training (seen as a warm up period) prepares your body for the strenuous activity you will be engaging in during the triathalon. Muscle groups that include the abdominal muscles, the lower back (lumbar region), and the thoracic and cervical region of the spine all make up your "core muscles," which serve to provide stability, support, and a solid foundation for the rest of the body to function efficiently. After focusing on strengthening your core, you can build strength with your other muscle groups for each portion of the Ironman competition.

At Jollibee, it's fast food with Filipino twist
I thought I was so smart going to Jollibee, the new Filipino fast-food spot near the Medical Center, midafternoon on a Monday. Surely the crowds of Filipino expats hungry for the chain's fried chicken, burgers and noodles had subsided since the grand opening last Thursday, right?
Wrong. As I pulled into the jammed parking lot at 8001 S. Main, just north of its intersection with Old Spanish Trail, I spied a line snaking out of the front door and around the corner, then zig-zagging beneath temporary awnings set up in the parking lot. It was 3 p.m. and rain was pelting down. The jolly bee mascot out front had water pouring from its wings in great gouts. The prospective customers looked slightly damp.
But they were excited and talkative. Co-workers exchanged greetings as they spotted each other in line. Strangers exchanged war stories about how many times they had been to Jollibee in the five days since it opened and how long they had waited to get in the door.
When I finally made it inside, the dining room was packed. It looked fancier than I expected for a chicken-and-burger joint, with retro midcentury-modern textiles and a flock of sleek lacquered lanterns suspended from the ceiling.
I paid for my food at the counter and wandered around looking for a seat. Not so easy because the Jollibee chain has no seating for solo diners. There's no counter of the sort American burger joints are likely to have and no little two-tops, either.
It's basically extended-family heaven. I even spotted a few handwritten "reserved" signs on some of the larger tables, a temporary measure taken to preserve order in the crush.
Eventually, a genteel woman named Rose beckoned me to share her table. "I'm just waiting for the rain to stop," she said, with a glance outside. It was her second visit in search of this particular taste of home. Jollibee is a powerhouse in the Philippines, where it operates more than 750 stores. Now it's expanding internationally, from Vietnam to Hong Kong to Saudi Arabia, with 26 locations in the United States, most on the West Coast.
This Jollibee is the first in Texas, and with so many Filipinos working at the Medical Center, Houston was a natural choice. There's obviously a huge pent-up demand here for the nostalgic flavors of Jollibee's fried chicken and noodles - particularly its distinctive spaghetti, clad in a slightly sweet tomato sauce laced with hot dog slices and rough-textured sausage cubes along with pinpoints of ground meat, plus a gilding of orange cheese on top.
Not having grown up on this spaghetti, I still found it an agreeable little blast of childhood, and the sweet Filipino topspin made it taste even more like nursery food to me. It's popular in combination with the fried chicken, which I found a bit jarring but seemed to make everyone else in the place rejoice.
The chicken itself - dubbed "Chickenjoy" in Jollibeespeak - was good and crisp and juicy. It did not awaken in me the ecstasies reported by some of the Filipino expats on Yelp, but that's to be expected. It's solidly done.
I'm still coming to terms with the famed Jollibee burger. I ordered the charmingly named Big Yum, which is the basic Yum Burger writ larger (1⁄3 pound ) and adorned with lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup and enough mayo to squish the flavor and texture profile.
The ground-beef patty had the salty seasoning and uniform, crumbly texture of meatloaf, with not much sear to set off the interior. It was fine in its way, but it took some getting used to.
Rose, my tablemate, extolled the virtues of her Fiesta noodles, a dish that in her home country is known as palabok, and is sauced with ground pork, shrimp, chicharron bits, smoked fish flakes and slices of hardboiled egg. She confessed she had done just what I did with the two different fried pies we had ordered: taken a few bites of each, the better to compare and contrast.
Rose preferred the slight tartness of the crackly skinned peach-and-mango pie. I was drawn to the caramelized banana with jackfruit, probably because it seemed more exotic to me. But both were surprisingly good for what they were: a mass-produced fried pie, not some artisanal hand-rolled pastry stuffed with fresh fruit.
I pulled up the big tapioca balls in my coconut-pandan freeze, which was a lovely shade of pale green, as the rainstorm continued.
"Earlier, it was raining while the sun shone," Rose observed. "In Puerto Rico, they say that's when the witches are getting married," I told her.
"In the Philippines," she returned, "we say that's when the buffalo are being born."
The water buffalo, of course.
(Jollibee, 8001 S. Main, 650-296-9398)

Cybersecurity, Big Data Among Mission-Critical Topics for CIOs
/ July 25, 2013
Opening up data for public consumption, platform modernization and increasing cybersecurity awareness were among the topics discussed at the Public CIO Technology Summit on July 24-25 in Washington, D.C.
The event brought together a mix of public-sector CIOs and industry representatives to share best practices and learn about one another's barriers — with a focus on creating relationships across governments.
While the summit was closed to media, Government Technology had an exclusive look into the event and can share insight into the topics discussed.
One such issue was modernizing IT systems -- summit participants noted that it's not just a technology issue; it's also a people issue. As legacy systems are replaced, IT staff members are being trained to work on new projects and services. In the future, for example, a good contract writer might replace programmers.
Attendees also said that focusing on open data initiatives is about more than releasing data sets. Exposing data can help break down barriers between government and the public by building trust; it also can fuel local startups and encourage civic innovation.
See the slideshow above for more information on the topics discussed during the summit.

Acura TL vs Subaru Legacy GT Limited
I am looking to lease either the TL or the Subaru Legacy GT Limited 5-speed manual. I know the Legacy is the exact wheelbase as the TSX, but for some reason I don't consider it in that league. I can get a great lease price on either. I have the connections, but just don't know which one to go with?
rsholland Posts: 19,788Which do you prefer? AWD or FWD?
I honestly could care less.....FWD is cool. All wheel sounds safer but it really isn't a factor. My main focus is the price of the lease, the performace (very similar), and the believe it or not, the factory sound system. I know the TL's is amazing...i don't know much about the one in the Subaru.0
While the TL has the LGT (by the way no such thing as a LGT limited anymore) in interior refinement, and quite possibly sound, the LGT absolutely blows away the TL on the road. The LGT is much faster and handles better. I too was in the market for an upscale sedan. Looked at the 3 series, C series, TLs, audi, volvo to name a few and ultimately chose an 08 LGT after driving several of the listed vheicles. I was impressed by the performance of the LGT, especially with the 5spd, and the traction and handleing was great. Even the interior was nearly as tight as the Acuras. I really hated how the FWDs felt at WOT on the TL, they exhibited quite a bit of torque steer which is extremely annoying to me. Also the LGT is top of the pack when it comes to safety ratings FWIW... Oh yeah one last thing, another reason I went with the LGT is it's uniqueness. I get tired of seeing countless 3 series and Acuras all over the place, everyone has one. With the LGT you will get asked what kind of car it is all the itme, kinda cool!!0
upstatedoc Posts: 710You gotta care about FWD vs. AWD....I test drove both before buying my '05 TL. The acura was light years ahead of the suby in terms of refinement. The suby was faster (you gotta love that turbo!) and will do infinitely better in bad weather. Now, the '09 TL will be out in the fall if you can wait that long and it will have SH-AWD, better IMO than subarus system, BUT expect a price tag approaching 40k.(w/ all the toys)0
Agreed, I look forward to trying out the SH-AWD. I hear it is very similar to BMWs approach as well. They are supposed to be really good and way better than the Subbies. The Subarus are about as basic an AWD platform as you can get, especially if you get a manual, totally a drivers car with no electronic nannies to help out. But I do like the fact that the SH-AWD will actually alter the speed of the inside vs. outside tires when turning which should make for excellent handleing!!0
I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the Subie is NOT faster than the TL or TL-S.
The are quite closely matched, with the Legacy quicker down low with AWD traction.
The Subie is governed at about 136 mph and the TL-S is about 147 mph. The Legacy GT is quicker by .4 seconds to 60 at most (thanks AWD) and the Legacy GT is quicker than the TL in the 1/4 mile, but very close to the TL-S in elapsed time(.1-.3 seconds ahead) but the TL-S is anywhere from 1-4 mph faster in the 1/4 mile (depending on who is testing). The Subie is also well behind in lateral acceleration and the TL-S is about 1 mph faster in the 700 ft slalom.
The Legacy GT B Spec was on my short list, but ultimately lost because of a lack of refinement, it is just not a luxury car.
Buy the Subie IF you need AWD for foul weather OR; you intend to modify the car for more speed. You simple can't beat the Legacy GT for cheap after market speed, and with stealth to boot. Oh don't forget reliability, Subies are rock solid reliable. Again, I have nothing against the Legacy GT, I almost bought one. If I had it would have a Cobb Tuning kit already, it's amazing what $600 can do for a Subaru! Watch out G35's and M3'!!!!0
Doesn't surprise me about the lat acc as the LGT has horrible OEM all weather tires. The acceleration numbers are also assuming perfect launch conditions. I believe that in everyday driving on wet or dry or dirty roads the LGT will launch harder and pull on an Acura TL or Type S.0
Don't forget the "average driver" will have a harder time launching the FWD in less than "perfect launch" conditions. Yes, AWD can be quite an asset in everyday driving, especially if you have enough HP. Heck, average drivers cant do much with perfect conditions either :P0
To be honest I didn't realize the TL and TL-S were as fast as they were. When I initially googled them I was seeing low 7s for the TL and low 6s for the S. After looking at those numbers again they seem to have come from 05 models. Did they add vtech (or whatever their proprietary valve adjustment is called) in 06 or something?0
I don't think a great deal has changed since they introduced the current Gen. The TL-S is of course much more powerful although about 20 horses short of the G35 and IS350 (which isn't even competition as it is way overpriced and has no manual trans).
It is possible that some testers are just better drivers. It's also possible that some road tests are done on a track with professional equipment and others may well be a two average Joe writers with a GPS accelerometer on a back street. Here is the best results I have seen from the TL-S
I'll take a 14.1 1/4 any day when it comes from a luxury car that gets better mileage than my 98 Maxima. I love the car, 1300 miles so far and I am just barely getting used to it so I am still driving what I would describe as "conservatively".0

McGahee fined $7,500 for grabbing facemask; Dolphins Bell $15,000 for hit on Tebow
Call it the Holy Heck of facemask penalties. First Broncos running back Willis McGahee had an 11-yard run called back in the third quarter last Sunday at Miami when he grabbed the facemask of Dolphin tackler, Sean Smith. McGahee drew a a 15-yard penalty on the play.
McGahee also broke the fourth metacarpal on his right hand on the play as it got caught up in Smith's facemask. Finally, the league levied a $7,500 fine against McGahee for his infraction. Ouch. Double-Ouch. Ouch.
The league also hit Miami defensive back Yeremiah Bell with a $15,000 fine for his hit on Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Bell was flagged for coming in with his hands to Tebow's face.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Eric Staal scored three goals, Jeff Skinner added two and the Carolina Hurricanes earned their first victory of the season by handing the Buffalo Sabres their first loss, 6-3 on Thursday night.
Skinner and Staal scored 9 seconds apart during Carolina's four-goal second period that also included a short-handed score by Justin Faulk.
Jordan Staal, Joni Pitkanen and Zac Dalpe each had two assists and Cam Ward made 30 saves for the Hurricanes, who were one of five winless teams and had two total goals in their first two games.
Jason Pominville's second goal made it 4-3 with 13:54 left. Eric Staal restored Carolina's two-goal lead by firing the puck past Jhonas Enroth at 10:34.
He then polished off his 13th career hat trick with an empty-netter with 1:28 left.
Cody Hodgson also scored and Thomas Vanek had two assists for the Sabres. Enroth stopped 32 shots.
Carolina, which beefed up its offense this offseason by adding Jordan Staal and Alexander Semin and averages an NHL-best 39 shots, had 38 shots to Buffalo's 33. The Hurricanes had a season-best 21 during their busy second period.
The most dizzying sequence came when Skinner broke a 2-all tie by pushing a wraparound past Enroth's left pad with 6:04 left.
The Hurricanes won the ensuing draw, and Eric Staal slipped through the Buffalo defense and beat Enroth with a backhand at 5:55 to make it 4-2 and cap a frenetic period in which the teams combined for six goals.
Skinner gave Carolina its first lead of the season 62 seconds into the second with a tricky backhand over Enroth's left shoulder. Faulk then made it 2-0 with 15:54 left when he stormed down the ice on a short-handed 3-on-1 rush and blasted a slap shot by Enroth.
Then it was the Sabres' turn to get the offense going.
Hodgson pulled Buffalo within a goal at 11:10 by beating Ward with a backhand of a loose rebound, and Pominville tied it at 2 with 9:21 left with a redirection of Christian Ehrhoff's slap shot.
NOTES: Skinner finished with his eighth career multigoal game. . The teams play again Friday night in Buffalo. . The Hurricanes' record for quickest two goals came in 1987 when Sylvain Turgeon scored twice in 6 seconds. . Buffalo didn't put a shot on goal until LW Marcus Foligno's backhand roughly 7 1/2 minutes in.

The secret to making authentic Thai wings is the overnight galangal and chile marinade. Used in Thai cooking, galangal is similar to ginger, and the key spice in many Thai coconut milk-based soups. Here, galangal is combined with turmeric (another close cousin to ginger), coconut milk, garlic, and hot chiles to create wings that have that authentic, spicy Thai flavor. Cool them off with a classic Thai peanut dipping sauce. Galangal can be difficult to find, but don't worry. Simply substitute 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger for the ground galangal, and your guests will never know.–Christopher B. O'Hara
Grilled Coconut Wings
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the Thai peanut sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil, plus more to taste
- 2 fresh Thai chiles or other small chiles
- 1 1/2-inch-thick slice ginger
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Pinch of salt (add to taste, as fish sauce can be very salty)
- 1/2 cup finely minced cilantro leaves and stems
- For the marinade
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground galangal (or 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 20 chicken wings, jointed
- Make the Thai peanut sauce
- 1. To make the peanut sauce, add the peanuts along with the peanut oil to a food processor. Blend, on high, until the peanuts form a rough paste. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the cilantro; blend until smooth. Stir in the cilantro and thin with peanut oil to taste.
- Make the wings
- 2. To make the marinade, using a food processor, grind the ingredients into a paste the consistency of thin yogurt. Reserve a small amount for basting and transfer the remaining marinade to a glass bowl. Add the cleaned and trimmed chicken wings. Toss liberally, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- 3. To grill the wings, shake off the excess marinade and grill the wings over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until crispy. Brush them frequently with the reserved marinade, and be careful not to burn the wing tips. The wings should have a crispy texture with a deep mahogany color when done. Serve with the Thai Peanut Sauce.

Quote from: apskip on January 06, 2009, 09:12:00 PM3. That Zach/Flo got NELs to save them in both Switzerland and in Vietnam. That's exceptionally lucky.I can remember being upset and shocked that the Switzerland leg was non-elimination, thinking there is no way they would have back-to-back NELs. If I remember correctly, the Vietnam one was one of those "no more eliminations, just about placement" leg, which I never really saw as a true NEL. But Z&F were definitely lucky in the leg before that, who were last at the time, and very lucky that 2 other teams missed the clue box many times.
3. That Zach/Flo got NELs to save them in both Switzerland and in Vietnam. That's exceptionally lucky.
Everything Alright?Define 'alright'
Flo's going to have a major... incident.
If I get on this train, I'm going to have a breakdown. Do you wanna see it happen?
And that's my two cents.
although S3 offered no memorable shouting lady ("LENEEEE", "MEREDITH!", etc) that I can think of right now

Five ways to find better Black Friday savings online
Black Friday shopping can seem overwhelming, especially shopping online where you must navigate a sea of advertisements, emails, dozens of specialized Black Friday discount websites and a massive selection of sale-priced items. It can be difficult to know you're getting the best savings possible.
Black Friday shopping can seem overwhelming, especially shopping online where you must navigate a sea of advertisements, emails, dozens of specialized Black Friday discount websites and a massive selection of sale-priced items. It can be difficult to know you're getting the best savings possible.
Here are five things you can do to assure you're getting the best possible savings this Black Friday:
1. Start doing research early. Black Friday ads start leaking to the public at the end of October and through the middle of November. There are a few websites that feature smart shopping tools like the 2013 Black Friday Deal Finder from FatWallet.com, which will let you review all of the ads and sort the individual deals in one convenient place. You can add any items to your favorites for later reference and come back and make purchases directly through this site or through their accompanying mobile apps.
2. Make a list and set a budget. Once you've taken a good look at all the ads, and hopefully asked everyone what they want for the holidays, it's a good idea to make a shopping list with the items you've researched. Then revisit the websites that host all of the ads and deals to narrow down which stores are offering the best offers within your budget. Look for websites that allow you to sort by price range as this will help you to keep from over-spending.
3. Shop earlier for the best selection. The last couple of years Black Friday pricing has been available online on Thanksgiving Day, or even earlier in the week as some stores feature select Black Friday deals the weekend before. Then compare early November deals to the ones you have saved to your list for the real Black Friday events. You may find some early sale prices are low enough to get some of your shopping finished. Plus, shopping early can guarantee that you'll find the size, color or model in stock that you really want.
4. Sign up for email alerts. Websites like FatWallet.com have Black Friday deal alerts you can subscribe to. They send you an email every time a new store ad releases and offer other inside information on where the better sales are before, during and after Black Friday, such as Cyber Monday, December sales and Free Shipping Day. FatWallet also hosts consumer forums where savvy shoppers post hundreds of up-to-the-minute hot deals all year and you can easily set up topic alerts for holiday gifts you're looking to buy.
5. Coupons and cash is king. There are several websites that offer cash back rewards, as well as online coupons. These are discounts that can be stacked with many Black Friday sale-priced items, offering the ultimate savings. Look for special holiday cash back sales, when hundreds of stores will increase these rewards during big holiday sales events. Many stores will often include exclusive coupons, adding free shipping or a gift card to the discount.
Black Friday is a very busy time for your family and for retailers as well. It's important to remember that retailers are competing for your business and if you do your homework and plan ahead of time, you'll be able to find the best buy on the items you need for a wonderful holiday season.

Chris Volstad is at the Bottom of a Top List and Other Bullets
For preventative/family history reasons, tomorrow morning I will experience the supreme pleasure of a colonoscopy (it's really not that bad).
This impacts me in a number of uncomfortable ways (mostly today), but it impacts you in a few tangential ways as well: (1) After tomorrow morning's Bullets (which will be on the early side), I'll likely be totally unavailable for a few hours; (2) if big news breaks during that time, I trust that some of you can keep everyone else updated in the comments; (3) after I resume posting in the late morning/afternoon tomorrow, I could be loopy, so you may have to read about how the Cubs have signed Yoenis Soler but are trading him for Matt Garza as compensation to the Red Sox.
- New Cub Chris Volstad made SI's list of the top pitchers age 25 and under who were traded this offseason. But, um, he was last. "Volstad has shown little improvement, but the good news is that he's 6-foot-8 and still only 25 years old, so the Cubs do have hope that he blooms late, as sometimes happens with tall pitchers. 'Worth a shot for the Cubs, but I don't think he's the kind of guy who comes back to haunt you after a trade,' the evaluator said." Now, before you get too bummed about Volstad being last on the list, know that the list was only five players, and the four in front of Volstad were Gio Gonzalez, Mat Latos, Michael Pineda, and Trevor Cahill.
- Tim Sheridan has another great entry over at Boys of Spring, noting that Matt Garza, David DeJesus and Dave Sappelt have arrived in Mesa at Cubs camp. As usual, Tim has some good pictures up, and relates an anecdote about DeJesus: "Late in the day after things were pretty much finished I noticed DeJesus out on one of the fields all by himself practicing base running drills and working on his bursts from base to base. This is part of why a guy like David was brought in, to show the young players what kind of dedication is needed to stay productive in the bigs, especially when you're on the more mature side of 30."
- FanGraphs takes a look at which organizations are "highly analytical" (aka "new school"), which are "old school," and which are a mix of the two. The Cubs, unsurprisingly, fall into the first category now that Theo/Jed/Jason are running the show. It's an interesting read, but it's hard to imagine any organizations, in this day and age, not having a significant "analytical" contingent, even if they favor traditional scouting.
- Some Cubs have changed their uniform numbers, and some new Cubs have had their assigned. Missing from that list is Matt Garza, who is switching to number 22.
- Carrie Muskat says Geovany Soto is in great, trim shape, which has tended to be very important to his performance. Apparently he was showing folks his abs at CubsCon. That's hot.
- Theo Epstein hasn't been afraid of trading former first round draft picks soon after signing them, if he's getting back the right pieces for his team. No real surprise there.
- I'm still waiting on Bud Selig to make his compensation decision … on what the Cardinals should get for letting Jeff Luhnow be given a promotion with the Astros (GM). Oh. That's right. The Cardinals, for all of our rivalry, aren't run by a greedy, spiteful crew.
- 2011 Cubs' draftee, pitcher James Pugliese, is interviewed about a variety of things. The one that stood out? He's currently reading 'The Mental Game of Baseball' by H.A. Dorfman and Karl Kuehl, two men who feature prominently in 'Moneyball.' I imagine the gents implementing the new approach to player development either had something to do with that book selection, or, if not, would be very pleased with that book selection. Well done, James.
- Do yourself a favor. Go to Baseball Reference, and type "Sausage" into the search box. A nice little Easter Egg for Cubs, Pirates, and probably Brewers fans, at least.
- The discussion in the comments has been pretty great for a while (this morning notwithstanding). I just wanted to acknowledge that, thank you for that, and encourage you to continue that.

I wonder if this is a good test question:
John, why dont you come and celebrate with us? We are having / have champagne brought up to our room specially.
Is it possible to see the second sentence as "we have champagne [which has been/was] brought to our room", 'brought' being a participle rather than part of the causative construction?
Thank you!
Thanks. Could you please tell me why we can't see 'brought' as a participle?
John, why don't you come and celebrate with us? We are having / have champagne brought up to our room specially." only "we are having" is possible.
You just can't [this was, you'll have guessed. a response to the OP] here. In the context of the 'having', the sentence is understood as causative.
You could make 'brought' a participle by breaking the tie between have and brought:
John, why don't you come and celebrate with us? We have champagne; it was brought up to our room specially.
I see. But why do I have to break the tie? What about
-You told me you're interested in art. Why don't you come round tonight? I have a picture [which was] painted by some famous artist - forgot his name.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
It's all a question of context. 'Have', followed immediately by 'painted by...' is possessive (though in 'I have painted tha kitchen' it's not) . In this case, the expectations of the hearer work the other way. If you want to make it causative you can say 'I'm having a copy of a Modigliani painted by an artist friend of mine.'
