To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Good blog! Great anslysis and great things to think abt I hope we keep patty! U2
Miss Kassandra, my favorite poster and becoming my favorite blog poster, your competition is Sarah, and Barrett of course. Did I ever tell you I like you or is it a stipulated fact, found through studying litigation law. Anyway my hat off to you for a terrific insight to the Blazers. Of course there is a but and I will post that below.
Miss Kassandra:As promised there is a but, but :), it really isn't a but, it is answering your questions from my stand point.Besides liking you, you are brainy and cute. Oops, back on subject.1. Your analysis is on the money on all four.2. I believe Dre will be in a Blazer uniform next year, because although he is getting long tooth, he hasn't shown any sign of losing his ability of moving the team, and his durability is without question. My knock on him would be his lack of outside shooting to keep the opponents defense honest, but if our shooting gd whether it be Wesley or BRoy start getting more consistent with their scoring and if GW, or Batum develops a more consistent 3pt shot, then that would not be a problem. Regardless of his age, and his long ball shooting, I believe he will be a Blazer at least until another starting PG is completely ready to take his place,and then we will slowly be reduced in number of minutes much like Jason Kidd for the Mavs is doing. (you opened the subject in your introduction, therefore you can't object to any mention of that convicted domestic violent butt head LMAO. 3. Regardless if Patty becomes our pgotf or not, Dre will still be in place as starting PG until Patty can show is ready. One thing for sure, he has lots of other factors that makes him attractive to being in a blazer uniform, but his trade value is high because he is fast and is the type of PG that teams are looking for. Therefore as you stated, whether Patty can be a SPGofTF is unknown at this time, but IMO I think he will stay a Blazer and a situational PG. because of all he brings. And he likes you too.4.Armon Johnson, IMO, is the most likely to be traded, because he is said to be a left handed JBay, we traded JBay to move on and be fair to JBay at the same time, so I believe he will be moved. Nevertheless as you said, he is big, great on D and is a gym rat like JBay, so he is still unknown as to how he can respond to his offensive knock. 5. Elliot Williams, As you said is unknown as far as position, and contributing, but he was drafted with his knee problem, with the plan of getting corrective surgery, so I am sure he will remain because of his athelism, his hops and speed. Which position he plays might depend on the pending Lock-out with the rumors of dropping BRoy with the amnety clause that is rumored to take in effect. Oops, Introduced new material there, but you are more then welcome to add your Opinion to the rumors LMAO. Like please comment. All in all as prior stated by the author of this blog, EW is still technically a rookie and will be a Blazer for at least a short time. But then, nothing is forever.5. Of course all this depends on our activities in the draft and FA, but as of now this is how I feel it is.
I think Dre and Patty can be the UpRise version of Kidd and Barea. Dre and Kidd are seasoned veterans with larger than average PG bodies (and larger than average recoup times due to their age). Dre's minutes will need to be monitored/capped in the regular season so his body is still fresh WHEN the Blazers are playing in the 2nd round and beyond next season. I think the Blazer movement erupts if Patty gets more minutes and takes full advantage. It's not like the Blazer fans need anything to get them excited about basketball, but Patty has a way of busting things wide open sooner than later.Great blog!
Elliott Williams has the best shot at being the long term starter, but I still think our PG is Shumpert or McCamey in the draft.
My take:Patty & Armon will be backups in the NBA, pick your favorite and let the other one go (Keep Patty BTW!!!)Dre is great but his expiring contract is even greater. We should use that piece to try to pull off another Wallace type of trade where we get an All-Star for an expiring deal.Use our MLE on a PG
I forgot to mention E-Will. I love his game and hope he hones in on his shooting skills because he seems to have everything else down pat.
I think PG is where we are the most full. But that being said, I think it's a good thing because we have so many options. As far as long term, solid PG play, I'm not sure anyone on the current roster can become a full-time starter. I love Patty's energy and your right, the fans love him and he showed signs of improvement. Armon has a lot to work on. E-Will, he's a wildcard for me. Haven't seen much from him due to injury. Should be interesting what Portland does in a couple of days.
I don't think the Blazers are going to get a free agent point guard. They might get one in the draft and that's the thing which could most affect this position. If no point guard is drafted, then they should not only bring Miller back, but sign him to a two year extension. Let's make him a Blazer for his last three good years. If we draft a point, then two of the guys you listed will be gone and If they don't it will be one. In that case it seems like it would come down to either Mills or Johnson. I think we should keep Mills but something tells me in that case, the team would keep Johnson.
Hg, i think Andre will be a blazer next year too. there's no real reason to rock the boat there. Armon is probably the most tradeable because Patty already has more experience and more of a team-first attitude. the team wants to find out what Elliot can do, which is why i don't think he's going anywhere.TG: i really like Patty's potential. let's face it, on and off the court he is a fan favorite. he's got the tools to make an impact for us. he definitely has a career in the nba, and i hope it's in portland.BP: great comparison of Dre and Patty to Kidd and Barea. we really missed an opportunity by not using Patty in the playoffs. the australian could have worn out Barea; made him play defense. great comparison!
Clydefrog (have to ask you one day about that screen name!): i don't want to discount Armon at all. i think he can have a career in the league. i just happen to think Patty is a better fit for what we need. we could use Andre's expiring contract to trade for a major pg, or we could bring him back and extend his contract for a couple more years while he's still got something to give. i figure he's got about three more years of as a starter.Ryan: we are pretty stacked at pg, not to mention that Nate seems to like the idea of sticking Brandon or Rudy at the point. i don't know that we need to actively look for a replacement right away. there is talent there.Jules: i think we'll only bring in a point guard possibly through the draft or if we get a good deal in a trade. i really think we'll hold on to Andre.
Good post, Kass. The PG position will definitely be an interesting thing to follow this off-season. Andre is good trade bait with his contract but I still see him in a Blazers uniform next season. If I had to choose between Armon and Patty at this point, I think I'd go with Patty. Like you've said, he's a fan favorite and also somewhat seems like the "glue" of the Blazers. He's great for the locker room and keeping guys in good moods. His shot is a tad inconsistent but that can be worked on and his defense got better throughout the season. He's quick and can cause a lot of problems, like Barea did for Dallas.I still think it was a mistake by coach Nate to not play Patty in the playoffs. Yes, he's young but he's been through big games before with the Australian national team. I think he could have slowed down Barea's penetration in the paint with his quickness.I don't really see Eliot as a point guard unless his knees were really effected by the surgeries. I do think we'll keep him around as well because we wouldn't want to let go of something when we haven't even seen him play one NBA game. I'll definitely be watching this position closely this off-season.
hey Mark! thanks for reading and commenting. Elliot is more of a combo guard than anything else. think of an extraordinarily athletic Jerryd Bayless. he'll probably back up both guard positions, but i put him into the pg blog since i think he has a better chance to get minutes there. agreed about wanting to see him olay at the nba level.

Is it under a different source?

TC Comments: Team B Blue and G
Louise and I were talking today and she mentioned something interesting: at some point this season the Oilers are going to have to start talking about contracts for Grebeshkov and Gags/Cogs and that conversation will contain the names of two defensemen.
I spent quite a bit of time watching the Oilers very good young pairing today and have to say the future looks pretty damn goood.
- Denis Grebeshkov: Not only did the light go on but it's a 100-watt beauty that hopefully lasts a decade. Looked good today, calm and under control.
- Tom Gilbert: I think he's so smooth people don't notice how very good he is at all kinds of difficult things: moving the puck, changing the shooting lane at the blueline before firing one, skating backwards, forwards and laterally and he also has an impressive wingspan. He's a wonderful player, looks ready to me.
- Dean Arsene: He looked very good to me, I think he'd get an NHL shot with a team that had poorer depth. Planted Colin McDonald on a hit from behind and played nastier than anyone else today. I like him.
- Jason Strudwick: I think coaches must love these guys. Don Cherry tells the story of Dennis O'Brien who ripped the puck off the glass when no one was around because that's what coach told him to do. I think that's Strudwick, and use that story as a backdrop to break the news that I didn't really notice him.
- Alex Plante: Wonderful game today. Scored a fine goal, he saw the G out of position (I was right behind him in the stands, could see it perfectly) and he took two strides and then fired to the upper shelf and nailed it. Also played a strong game physically and has improved a lot in his skating, especially backwards. He's coming along, folks.
- Taylor Chorney: Mobile defender, he looked smaller this season with all of those big wingers they have in camp this year. Another season in the AHL is a no-brainer, I wonder where he is now on the callup depth chart.
- Jake Taylor: He wasn't as impressive as Arsene which was disappointing. I think he had a subpar day or maybe I didn't notice the good things he was doing. Either way, these AHL veterans are supremely underrated in my opinion and if a team wants a couple of $500,000 blueliners two of these minor league veterans would be solid options.
- Jordan Bendfeld: I don't think I've ever said anything nice about him but today he impressed with size and physical play. Won some battles against older players.
- Dalton Prout: He didn't do too much to get noticed, I don't recall many shifts.
- Jeff Deslauriers: He matched Dubnyk's performance in the earlier game, looked confident and aggressive.
- Andrew Perugini: Was beaten by Colin McDonald on the PS but looked fine to me otherwise. He's probably the 4th best goalie in the system.
- Aaron Sorochan: He made some terrific stops and to my eye got more work than anyone, maybe a little weak on the Penner goal. Interesting situation for this player when we look at the depth chart. Does he play in Springfield? Stockton? Or do they send him home?
- Bryan Pitton: Gave up an early goal to O'Marra and a weak one to Chorney (or was it tipped) and generally looked a little behind the others.
That's all, folks.

HUD sued over reverse-mortgage rules
AARP says change to federal rule is forcing surviving spouses out of homes.
This post comes from Amy Hoak at partner site MarketWatch.
Facing foreclosure, the surviving spouses of three reverse-mortgage borrowers are suing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the AARP said in a news release this week.
In the lawsuit, three plaintiffs ranging in age from 69 to 79 say that HUD changed long-held federal rules that protect a surviving spouse when the reverse-mortgage borrower dies, and as a result they are "facing imminent foreclosure and eviction," according to the release. AARP Foundation Litigation and the Washington, D.C., law firm of Mehri & Skalet PLLC, are representing the plaintiffs. Post continues after video.
In 2008, HUD changed rules that had been in place since 1989 that said reverse-mortgage borrowers and their heirs would never owe more than the home was worth at the time of repayment, according to the AARP release. Under the new HUD policy, an heir or surviving spouse must pay the mortgage balance to keep the home -- even if that loan balance is higher than the property's value.
A reverse mortgage is a way that older homeowners can convert the equity in their homes into cash. The loan balance increases over time, and becomes due and payable when the homeowner dies, moves permanently or sells the home.
With home prices down steeply since the housing downturn, surviving spouses may be forced to pay an amount higher than the home's value. "Many spouses or heirs who want to purchase the property have been unable to do so because they cannot obtain financing that exceeds the current value of the property," the AARP release said.
A HUD spokesman on Tuesday said the agency had no comment on the lawsuit given that the litigation is pending.
- MSN Real Estate:What's the best mortgage rate you can find?
The 2008 policy change was referred to as a "clarification," so it wasn't required to go through an approval that would have given the public an opportunity to comment, said Jean Constantine-Davis, a senior attorney with AARP Foundation Litigation.
Another protection in the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program is called "Safeguard to Prevent Displacement of Homeowner," and says that HECM homeowners can't be displaced from their homes until the loan terminates, adding "for purposes of this subsection, the term 'homeowner' includes the spouse of a homeowner," according to AARP. HUD has never recognized this protection, the lawsuit states.
"We're talking about three people who were married to folks who were reverse-mortgage borrowers but they were not named on the reverse mortgage," Constantine-Davis said. The lawsuit claims that they will suffer "substantial hardship" if they're forced to repay the original, higher mortgage cost to retain their homes.
- MSN Real Estate:Find homes that just hit the market
In a news release, Constantine-Davis said the plaintiffs have been "blindsided by arbitrary, retroactive decision making."
According to AARP, the new HUD policy violates existing contracts between borrowers and lenders and negates a reason why borrowers had been paying insurance premiums. Also, the policy allows a stranger to buy the property at its current value, but the surviving spouse is prevented from doing so, according to the release.
"Rather than protecting borrowers, HUD retroactively changed the terms of the loans to make these elderly borrowers' spouses and heirs pay more to keep their home than an unrelated purchaser would have to pay to purchase the property," said Steven A. Skalet, of Mehri & Skalet PLLC, in the release.
"This is shameful and we intend to make HUD honor the representations and promises they made to borrowers when they signed up for these government-insured loans," he said.
The plaintiffs -- Delores J. Moore, 79, Leila Joseph, 77, and Robert Bennett, 69 -- are from Indiana, New York and Maryland, respectively. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Read more from MarketWatch and MSN Money:
From the get go the reverse mortgage struck me as a scam, it sounded to good to be true. Now the piper is demanding payment. I feel sorry for the people who were boondoggled, especially by the very government who is supposed to protect us from such ponzie schemes. The solution is something we have collectively forgotten, Live with in your means. Plan for the future. And like the line opening song to the show "Good Times", "Easy credit, Rip Off"! It especially upsets me that the HUD clandestinely changed the rules in the middle of the game. If the borrower wanted to change things he would have to refinance into a new contract which both parties agree to the terms. This unilateral change smacks of loan sharking.
Even on the conventional mortgage that myself and my ex entered into when we bought our property, we both signed as coborrowers. We were both income earners so it made since, and would also avoid litigation to settle an estate should one of us have passed. I suspect that the three survivors were likely single income families or at least the primary earner was the deceased spouse and would have had a lifetime of family finances managed by that spouse. It breaks my heart to see our government attempting to turn them out on the street in such a backhanded way. Is our government that hard up for money.
I'm an FHA appraiser who appraises these houses that qualify for FHA Reverse mortgages. In the past 2 years, I've had 6 go into foreclosure for whatever reason. 2 went into foreclosure within 6 months. In a declining market, which is about everywhere, except for a few pockets of prosperity here or there, the equity of that house continues to shrink each month as the overall value continues to go down. Contributing to that decline is the aging owner. They take these things out when they're in the mid-to late 60's. As of the date of mortgage, the house is well maintained, usually. However, as they experience extreme old age, ,in just a few years, the maintenance on the house starts to cease to exist and the house falls into disrepair. Then, it ends up 20-40% upside down on the mortgage. They can't sell it and can't refinance it. So, it goes into Foreclosure. These owners say, "Why should they keep the house up, the Governments just going to take it". Let them fix it up.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A state lawmaker plans to hold a news conference on Thursday to explain his bill to require outside law enforcement agencies to investigate officers who kill suspects.
Assembly Republican Garey Bies of Sister Bay unveiled his proposal a week ago. Starting on Thursday, he'll give colleagues two weeks to sign onto the measure before introducing it.
Bies, a former chief sheriff's deputy in Door County, said his bill would require outside agencies to investigate officers' actions in the deaths of others. The bill would also make Wisconsin the first state to require a review by a panel of experts, when someone dies in a police confrontation.
Bies said he's being motivated by three officer-involved deaths whose colleagues found them to be justified in killing suspects.
The deaths were those of robbery suspect Derek Williams in Milwaukee, drunk suspect Paul Heenan in Madison, and Michael Bell of Kenosha. Bies says he's most concerned about larger police officers, like those involved in all three of the above cases.
State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn say they'll review the measure, and provide input in the future.
David Kaminski of Rusk County, who heads the Badger State Sheriff's Association, says the measure could benefit everybody if both officers and victims are protected in the process.

The Dallas VideoFest Turns 25
Founder and artistic director Bart Weiss sees the future in his 25 years of bringing experimental film and video to Big Oil Texas.September 5th, 2012 | Steven Abrams
In the 25 years since the Dallas VideoFest began, annual film festivals have become an accepted occurrence in most cities. Festivals like Sundance and South By Southwest have even become part of mainstream popular culture, and new niche festivals seem to sprout up every year. When the festival opens this September 27th, it may be hard to appreciate the journey the festival has taken from its humble beginnings.
Who would have thought to suggest having a video and visual arts festival focusing on independent and experimental work? In 1987? In Dallas? Home of Big Oil, bigger hair, and "Who Shot J.R.?" According to Bart Weiss, artistic director and co-founder of Dallas VideoFest (DVF), the festival got its start almost accidently. After running a video event at the Dallas Museum of Art, Weiss recalls, "during the wrap-up with the museum people, without any forethought at all, I said, 'Well, let's do a festival, and it will be four days.' And the people at the museum said, 'okay.'"
At the time, there were few places to see works by video artists. Major film festivals either didn't know how to project video, or neglected it outright. Part of that was because there was no adequate technology to project video. Even if a projector could play video, you still ran the risk that it wouldn't play every video format, and there could be inconsistencies with sound and color. "In the early days," for Weiss, the DVF was "always about the intersection of art and technology."
In the early days, the body of video work was out there but it was not being seen. Between film and video there existed a wide cultural and financial divide that excluded many voices. While they have their own festivals now, in late 80s and early 90s Dallas, the DVF was one of the few to screen works by African American, Latino, and LGBT filmmakers and artists. "We take a broader look at what media is," Weiss says, "than a typical festival might."
Weiss sees the DVF as a pioneer of the technologies that govern a festival. From making use of desktop publishing, to developing a web-based submission process, to being an early adopter of web technologies like YouTube, DVF pioneered projecting from digital files. Five years ago, they started using iTunes to screen videos, and remain at the forefront of using computers to project HD files. This year, they are doing a eBook, iBook, and iPhone app, integrating trailers, essays, and videos into the program book. For Weiss, this is just another sign of the near-future. "There is a higher level of interactivity. I truly believe in years to come that everyone will be doing this."
Despite the dramatic changes in technologies and the culture of media, there are many ways that the DVF has stayed the same. The festival continues to show works that you won't see anywhere else. And Weiss continues to be the sole screener of every submission. Even when they have guests curate programs, such as this year's horror film series, Weiss sees every piece. Having a single driving force and vision is another way that this festival is unique. It gives the programming a consistency of purpose that can help foster emerging voices.
One such voice is Kat Candler, a Texas filmmaker who first screened a short at DVF in 2001. As a new filmmaker, the festival provided Candler with more than just a venue for her work. "In 2001, my first year there, I met a group of Dallas friends that I've grown up with as filmmakers and we continue to collaborate with each other," she says. Candler has gone on to screen other films and to appear on jury panels at DVF. Her short, Hellion, will screen at DVF and was an official selection of Sundance 2012. Candler also sees what makes the Dallas VideoFest unique. "I know Bart has always been a great champion of experimental films. I think that's what's made a lot of the programming unique over the years. You can see films there that are normally totally off the radar."
Eschewing celebrity, the festival concentrates on independent and experimental films, on workshops, while keeping an eye both on the history of media and the potential of the future. This year's festival program includes Keith Patterson's opening night documentary Ann Richards' Texas, and Julia Dyer's narrative film The Playroom. Along with screening shorts and documentaries from Texas, the festival looks further afield, screening episodes of the Australian reality series Go Back Where You Came From, and a screening of the visionary 1929 silent film Man With a Movie Camera, which will be accompanied by new music composed by an experimental music ensemble.
In honor of its 25th anniversary, the Omni Hotel in Dallas has given the reigns of the display lights on its massive façade to a local visual artist. The displays will have a musical broadcast in real time on a local radio channel. The festival will also feature lectures focusing on the future of media, with media scholar Gene Youngblood talking about media activism, and two artist exploring the creative possibilities of the iPad.
When looking through submissions to the DVF, Weiss looks for "people who create original work, and are not simply doing the same kind of stuff all over again. Really trying to redefine the future of media." Weiss also keeps an eye on the changes in technology that will redefine not only how media is made, but how it is consumed. "I don't think people really understand how much mobile media is going to be transformative in everything we do," he says. For Weiss, the mobile media we have now is just a hint of what is coming. "Media will be everywhere, produced by everyone. It is going to be an incredible way to live!"
But DVF's role is more than showcasing the artistic possibilities of developing technology. Weiss believes that the DVF should also change the way audiences view media. He sees much of mass media today, from television to mobile apps, as lacking. "I think that we try and show people that there are great things out there, and to inspire you to search it out." This battle against mediocrity may be what has kept the Weiss and the Dallas VideoFest going for 25 years. "We are trying to push a context for a better audience, an audience that is interested in, and hungry for, alternative media."
The Dallas VideoFest runs September 27-30 at the Dallas Museum of Art.

Funny book about a police dog
posted 5 years ago
A cute, funny book for Pre-K through about age 6 or 7, except in our family (one in high school and another an adult) were we still enjoy childrens books. Bold, funny, cartoon like illustrations that tell the story of a police dog who is taken with Officer Buckle to help do safety speeches in the school.
<<Officer Buckle knows more about safety than anyone else in Napville, but his dull presentations put his audiences to sleep. Enter Gloria, Napville's new police dog. Gloria knows just how to liven up the safety speeches--as long as Officer Buckle's back is turned!>>
Pros: Winner of 1996 Caldecott Medal
Cons: None, except maybe how Officer Buckle is portrayed.

Living in Sacramento, it is easy to get sucked up into the hype that state legislators here are always on the verge of changing the entire world. Yet I do think that two pieces of legislation heading for Gov. Jerry Browns signature this fall are worth talking about. They address two power sources solar energy and natural gas having the greatest impact on the way we power up our lives today.
The first is Assembly Bill 327, which addresses the topic of net metering for rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and rate reform. Net metering is the favored policy in the U.S. to allow owners of solar PV systems the ability to use the grid as a giant battery, shifting any excess power generation to the host utility grid for use by other utility customers, and then taking back energy from the grid when the sun isnt shining. Across the nation, utilities complain that as more customers generate their own power under net metering, the costs to maintain the power grid that benefits us all is imposed upon a smaller and smaller set of customers who do not generate a large portion of their own power needs.
Amazingly enough, AB 327 creates a seemingly unlimited market for not only solar PV, but all forms of renewable energy in California:
• It removes the scheduled suspension of net metering that was to go into effect at the end of this year, which would have shut down the burgeoning market for solar PV throughout much of the state, including those areas served in Northern California by Pacific Gas and Electric.
• It eliminates uncertainly over how the current cap on amounts of net metering is calculated, a major bone of contention between the solar industry and utilities, and provides a framework for permanently removing the net metering cap altogether.
• It removes the current 33 percent ceiling on the states renewable portfolio standard, or RPS, which, in essence, means there is also no cap on Californias wholesale renewable energy supplies such as wind farms operating in nearby Solano County.
PG&E, with a nation-leading 90,000 customers taking advantage of net metering, supported AB 327, as did the solar lobby and ratepayer advocates, but only after a series of last-minute amendments brokered, in large part, by Gov. Browns office. The utilities signed off on the bill when they were allowed to charge customers utilizing net metering a $10 annual fee, which historically has been opposed by the solar lobby.
All told, net metering supports more than 1,400 megawatts of clean electricity from 134,000 homes and businesses in California, the equivalent amount of power from a power plant larger than 150 percent of the capacity of Rancho Seco, SMUDs shuttered nuclear reactor. The battle over net metering is still brewing across the U.S., but this California deal may take some of the acrimony out of the debate and point a path forward for compromise.
Gov. Brown announced Friday that he had signed into law the other bill worth noting. Senate Bill 4 addresses natural gas fracking, a phenomenon that has been credited with lowering natural gas prices to record lows, but, according to critics, at the expense of clean water and air. Just as utilities had been attacking net metering, the American Petroleum Institute had been seeking to undermine RPS laws on the basis that they increase costs to consumers, with todays low-cost natural gas being the better alternative. (SB 4 also addresses the process of acidizing, which is uniquely suited to Monterey Shale deposits, which may contain as much as 15 billion barrels of oil.)
SB 4 is another example of a rare compromise between environmentalists, many of whom called for an outright ban of fracking, and industry, which maintained that a laissez faire approach was necessary to lower Californias historically high energy prices. Perhaps the greatest impact of the legislation is that for the first time in the nation, companies will need to reveal the chemicals they use during the extraction process. With this data, regulators will be able to trace whether these chemicals leach into water aquifers, helping to build a more complete understanding of the impacts fracking may have. Fracking may increase the incidence of earthquakes, a concern that appears to have provided extra motivation for regulatory oversight here in California.
With the passage of both of these bills, Gov. Brown has proved his ability to force a middle path. Given his legacy with helping to create the worlds renewable energy industry over two decades ago, he is proving that hands-on experience still counts in the legislative arena.
This commentary was modified from the original to correct the volume of oil thought to be contained in the Monterey Shale.

Lexicon MX300 Stereo Reverb Effects Processor with USBThe MX300 puts the great sound of a hardware Lexicon reverb—plus the ability to put that power to work as part of your DAW workflow via PC VST and Mac AU plug-ins—in one unit. Even better, the ultra-affordable MX300 comes packed with a significant portion of the capabilities from the powerful MX400.All parameters of every reverb, delay and dynamic effect in this powerhouse processor are available inside any PC VST or Macintosh AU compatible DAW program. Just link your computer to the MX300 with a USB cable and control automation and recall parameters exactly as you would with any software plug-in. You get the sonic benefits only Lexicon hardware can provide…without bogging down your computer's CPU with the extreme demands of reverb plug-ins.Along with the unique hardware plug-ins for PC and Mac, Lexicon has also included MX-Edit Librarian software so you can store and recall custom programs or pull up an unlimited number of Lexicon settings. Do a serious side-by-side listening test of the MX300 versus comparably priced competition and units costing far more. You'll hear why Lexicon is the leader in reverberation effects. Full arsenal of voice and instrument-enhancing effects includes 16 Lexicon reverbs, seven delays, genuine DBX compression, de-essing, and modulated effects that will make any performance sound better.Lexicon designed the MX300 to be ultra-easy-to use in demanding live sound situations. Once a program has been selected, you have instant access to three parameter knobs — instead of having to page through extra menus. You can program a whole night of presets, and dial them up quickly with the dedicated program select knob and bright LED display. Like every product that Lexicon makes, the MX300 is designed to withstand years of jarring, jostling, load-ins, load-outs, brownouts and power surges. It's simply the most live reverb ever offered at this price.The MX300 lets you switch effect routings easily via front panel controls, so you don't have to spend time behind your rack changing cables. Dual Mono sends the Left and Right input signals through Effect 1 and Effect 2 respectively. Each signal is then routed to its respective output, completely independent from the other. Cascade (Series) sends Left and Right input signals first through Effect 1, then through Effect 2, and then routed as a stereo signal to their respective outputs. Dual Stereo (Parallel) routes Left and Right input signals through both effects independently. Both Effects' output signals are then mixed together, and routed to both the outputs as a single stereo signal. _Mono Split sends Left input signal through Effect 1, while the Right input signal is sent through Effect 2. The output signals of both Effects are then mixed together, and routed to both the outputs as a single stereo signal.Stereo routing provides a single stereo effect path for Left and Right signals. This routing removes one of the effect modules for users requiring a streamlined signal path with only a single effect for their needs — but taking advantage of all of the MX300's processing horsepower.

Topic - Aid Climbing
Stamford Raffles - on 06 May 2013
I'm looking to learn (teach myself) to aid climb when it inevitably gets all shitty and wet during 'summer', I've got an (almost) full cam rack and a double set of nuts 1-10.
I'm really looking for advice about the 'whackables' i.e. pegs, skyhooks, etc, what size and how many to get?
This is just to get the basics down and not a full rack, although if anyone could give me an idea as to what a full rack consists of, I'll not shun their advice.
(And before anyone looks at my profile and sees I'm from Northumberland, I'm not going to do any of this ANYWHERE NEAR THE SANDSTONE/ANY ESTABLISHED CRAG so please don't start, I'm not daft and I'm aware of the ethics within the county).
Thanks in advance,

Villanova coach Jay Wright acknowledges that the college basketball season is getting longer and the sport itself is going year-round, but that doesn't mean that the quality of play or games is suffering.
College basketball season opens Friday with dozens of games featuring high-profile teams and memorable venues. Michigan State and Connecticut will tip off at a military base in Germany. Three games will take place on aircraft carriers. And defending national champion Kentucky will open its season against Maryland at the brand-new Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Some of these games could get lost in the shuffle, though. With college football, the NBA and the NFL all in high gear, casual sports fans might glance over the start of college hoops season — and tune back in around February. But if they do that, they might miss some of the best games.
COACHES POLL: The preseason top 25 in photos
MORE: USA TODAY Sports college basketball breakdown
Villanova coach Jay Wright said he believes that a new NCAA rule that allowed coaches to work with their players for limited amounts of time during the summer will lead to higher caliber play during the non-conference season.
"Games earlier in the season are going to be a lot better," Wright said. "A lot of us feel that way. That (rule) for coaches was monumental."
MAILBAG: Send in your college hoops questions
Still, college basketball has a long season, made even longer by an earlier start date the past two seasons. Add in overseas trips every couple of years, the extra time with players in the summer, and, well, coaches and players essentially work year-round.
That brings its own sets of challenges, like avoiding injury and fatigue.
"You have to do a good job of keeping guys mentally fresh," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "There are some little things to help them in terms of a physical standpoint — tapering your practice as you go on. As you go from the first month to the second month to the third month, you should be tapering a little bit to where you're doing less physical activity and more of a mental approach. More film. More walkthroughs vs. actual live action. You just do a good job of taking it down. Then, helping those guys take care of their bodies with diet, nutrition, sleep. Socially, making good decisions."
Painter points out, though, that the college basketball season may actually feel short for many players coming out of the competitive high school/AAU circuit.
"They're used to playing year-round, they're used to traveling," Painter said. "(Purdue freshman center) A.J. Hammons went with his prep school team to China. A.J. Hammons played 44 games last season. … They play AAU in the spring. They play AAU in the summer. They play with their high school teams."

Oola reviews from OpenTable diners
- Nice experience...FrankTheTankDined on 2/26/2014Had a small business group that the venue worked great for (6 people). Nice selection of drinks and wine, good overall food and presentation, but avoid the beef tenderloin, that was the only disappointment. Other menu items were great across the board. After dinner scotch and port selection was great. Overall very nice value for downtown San Fran and not the "mainstream".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SaltyDScottDined on 2/1/2014Highs and lows............. Bolognese pasta was fabulous!! Jalapeno mac and cheese fabulous Kale side dish SALTY as heck......... Ginger Soy ribs SALTY :( :( really was looking forward to them...... Capriccio was fabulous!! Hamburger, not sure why they have on menu? One person in our party felt the need to try, just a burger nothing special and once again the fries that came with the burger were GREESY and SALTY, the chef had a very heavy hand with the salt. Great food needs NO salt, I find it as a cover up for mistakes. Root beer float dessert is a real treat!! So we hit a 50 / 50 on greatness to disappointment. Wouldn't returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date NightsliapisDined on 1/31/2014We had a great dinner at Oola during Dine about Town SF. The pappardelle Bolognese was insanely good. As were the ribs.. both alone I would come back again and again for. Staff was great. All in all a very good night outSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Good Lunch Date at OolaFood4FoodiesVIPDined on 1/27/2014Ordered 3-course DAT lunch. Plate of roasted beets and watermelon with goat cheese was refreshing and light...simply a nice way to begin a meal. Pork ribs were scrumptious and very tasty..so soft and moist, these falls off the bone easily. The brioche bread pudding was an excellent dessert to end a meal. It has good consistency and is just sweet enough. Fresh bread is available only upon request. Wait staff is knowledgeable and quick to check back. Interior is pleasant and unpretentious. Service is attentive. There's great value in this restaurant...more for your buck. I've been dining here twice each year during DAT. I have referred many of my friends to this place and I will definitely be back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely time!lovechampagneDined on 1/26/2014we had a great time at Oola doing their all day mimosa and blood marys! It says all day, but it really means until 3pm (when they stop serving brunch). It probably is a good idea because it is hard to stop drinking! The watermelon mimosa was the absolute best, then the pineapple and blood orange were tied. Their food is delicious, a little on the small side and when you are drinking mimosas for a couple hours, you usually want more food ;-)Special Features:
- five stardoyleVIPDined on 1/24/2014we enjoyed and exceptional dinner. perfect service. delicious food.Special Features:
- Great Ribs!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/23/2014Really enjoyed the rbs, the meat literally fell off the bone. We were still talking about them the next daySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expectation Satisfied!Ronaldo7Dined on 1/19/2014Took a chance by reading previous reviews and had a great experience. Food was daring and excellent. Service was casual yet superb. A winner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible service, food adequateAbbyroseDined on 1/18/2014Was in town for Fancy Food Show, on a previous visit had a fabulous meal and memorable service so hosted 3 guests here. The service was embarrassing and ridiculously slow. When waiter brought dessert menu one of our guests said "Maybe you should ask for the check now or we could be here all night." The restaurant did not appear to be that busy. I ordered pork with risotto, pork was great but risotto reminded me of Spanish rice. Had appetizers and desserts. Others said their food was good but certainly no rave reviews, I think the poor service overshadowed the food. My business partner paid the bill, just wish she had written on bill why the tip was so minimal.
- Oola is terrific, except..MontereyJimDined on 1/18/2014The food here is absolutely top-notch, amazing really. The server, Jordan was spot on perfect..in fact it was a truly outstanding dining experience that was almost sabotaged by the hostess. When we asked for a different table (plenty available) she became hostile and unpleasant...a truly minor issue that caused her to make us and others around us uncomfortable...once she was no longer in the picture, the meal was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 1/12/2014I chose this place because of the bottomless mimosas at brunch and ended up not being able to partake due to work. However, the food was good. The entrees were interesting and not things that you typically get at brunch. I ordered a special (a hawaiian dish that I will not attempt to name). It was good. The dish involved a bed of fried rice, a hamburger patty, pork belly, and a fried egg. The sauce that came on the dish was too salty. The others I was with got a kale and mushroom omelette and a traditional breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes). The mimosas were tasty, but not all of the flavors were enjoyed. My friend ordered a Watermelon mimosa and said that the Watermelon juice did not mix well with the bubbly.
- Business Dinner a roaring successMedleyDined on 1/9/2014You know when the entire table of people who travel to SF regularly all say they will come back again and again that the dinner was a hit! Great dinner, amazing deserts and an overall great experience. I'd highly recommend Oola to anyone I know.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local SpotPearseVIPDined on 1/5/2014We love the food and staff here. The ribs are delicious!Special Features:
- Brunch in stylish ambience? Check!LovestoeatDined on 1/5/2014First time trial for a confessed Brunchie, found on Open Table when looking for something in SOMA. The place is small and almost hidden, with little light; but I loved the contemporary, yet comfortable design - very stylish indeed! The Brunch menu is small but features interesting items and the food quality was great, compliment! Service however, while definitely friendly, was somewhat slow and seemed a bit unorganized - I had to wait for my Cafe Latte for more than 10 min (with 3 tables occupied). Having said that, it will not keep me from giving Oola another try or recommending it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NYE 2013ToobeaucoupDined on 12/31/2013We had the 5 course pre fixe meal. It was ALL VERY GOOD! The only thing that I can say that was NOT excellent was the fact that the wait staff didn't get briefed properly about the order of the courses and they seemed like they were flying by the seat of their pants. This was a bit irritating and caused us to have to remind our server of the order of the courses that had come out of order twice. A pre shift meeting is all that would have been required to eliminate this snafuSpecial Features:
- Great place to meet up withGoodspiritsDined on 12/30/2013Great place to meet up with friends. This was our first time to Oola and the food, cocktails and service as great. We stayed for quite a while enjoying the evening- service was consistant, attentive and we did not feel rushed. great time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This place is AWESOME!JewlsDined on 12/17/2013I've been a couple of times for lunch with clients, and we always enjoy the place, the staff and the food. They have a creative menu and ALL the dishes we've tried have been excellent. That mac and cheese as an appetizer...YUM. The staff was attentive without being overly intrusive. Check 'em out! Just take LOTS of quarters if you plan to street park.Special Features:
- Nice atmosphere, really niceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/12/2013Nice atmosphere, really nice food, excellent service. A nice dinner location that's not yet so well known that it's possible to get a reservation on short notice.
- good food, bad servicePartyof9Dined on 12/12/2013Didn't feel welcome in the restaurant. It seemed like everything we asked for was a bother. The host yelled at us to move a coat when seating another table. She didn't use any manners or give time to take action before yelling again.Special Features:
- limited menuOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 12/6/2013Very good cooking for limited choice menu. Portion size average. Casual dining. Friendly service. Bar choices good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and servicehanayaVIPDined on 12/1/2013The waiter who served our food was hilarious. He was from LA but he definitely made amazing drink/ cocktail suggestions as well as food/ appetizer suggestions. The pumpkin soup was amazing and the course (ribs) of course were amazing. I topped the night off with a root beer float (yes, I know classy... ;) ) which topped my night. The food, drinks, and ambiance is great! A must try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friendly service, hearty dishes!winewomanVIPDined on 11/24/2013First the good: wow - the special was wonderful! 2 ribs, 2 eggs, 2 bacon slices, potato pancake stuffed with veggies, sauteed kale (so you can pretend it's all healthy). No room left to try the hazelnut-chocolate waffle, but there's always next time. Very spicy bloody mary, and great service to make sure I always had coffee. They even tried to find a connector so I could charge my cell phone while I ate (but no luck there). The bad? My companion needed to ask for non-burned bacon, and we overheard another patron asking for non-burned pancakes. Both my companion and the other patron were taken care of quickly and graciously. The sleek but rustic decor was inviting. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Late dinnerAdamSomaVIPDined on 11/16/2013The food is very good and the service is up to par. I have never had a bad meal at this place and it is a reliable go to even late at night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service and food!Lizzie07Dined on 11/10/2013We had a large group for brunch and the staff was very attentive which we greatly appreciated. I had the huevos rancheros which were tasty! I definitely want to come back and try their dinner, seems like a good date night spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prices gone up for same foodObserverVIPDined on 11/7/2013I remember the nights when their chicken+waffles and pork ribs were $6 each. Now the same small portion of chicken+waffles is $14 and the same portion of pork ribs is $16 ! Chicken+waffles used to be good, but now getting over oily. Not happy that they are not serving their pulled pork sliders that used to be $6. Overpriced, portions are really small, not worth the price.Special Features:
- VIP treatmentwelshcakeDined on 10/26/2013They asked if we had been there before (we hadn't), and gave us a lovely private booth on the second floor. The staff was friendly, informative, and as talkative as we wanted them to be. The food was innovative and delicious. An excellent experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!OL2HVIPDined on 10/20/2013This was our first dining experience at Oola, as we had been there once before only for drinks. We were delighted with everything. The special cocktail of the night was amazing. The salads and main courses imaginative, very tasty and not overly stylized. And, the service was attentive, helpful, and prompt. We loved it ! Oola deserves 5 starsSpecial Features:
- laughablekurtDined on 10/18/2013for the price the food was dry, low quality, and portions were small. the deviled eggs were about as good as i could make them and garnished with a square of rubbery oscar meyer bacon and a dried-out jalapeño slice that tasted like nothing. that's it - THAT was their chichi duck egg dish. the burger certainly wasn't bad, but was also $15. so many other upscale restaurant burgers in town that 're far better and sold for less. i do hate it when i spend $100 for two at a new fancy restaurant that inexplicably doesn't care about the food quality. swing and a miss.
- Over itTJSJDined on 10/9/2013After three amazing dining experiences (outstanding food, ambience and service), my last visit was sub-par. Our waiter pretty much ignored us the whole time and the food was lackluster. My love affair with Oola is over.Special Features:
- Went there on a Sunday night,psuedophoodieVIPDined on 10/6/2013Went there on a Sunday night, winding down a hectic weekend. Had the cheese plate and ribs as appetizers and then the chicken for my entree. Excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food. Slow service.ConferenceGuyDined on 9/24/2013i wasn't looking for a 3 hour dinner and the server never figured that out but should have easily.Special Features:
- Business LunchGameDonkeyDined on 9/24/2013Good for a business lunch. Service was quick, noise was low and the food was worth coming back for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodFanagameDined on 9/20/2013Food is great, service is really great. The VIP table upstairs are great for a romantic dinner. Really nice place overall!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- thumbs uppupuplatterDined on 9/5/20136 o'clock seating for two on a Thursday. Under 20% full; was seated near bar and not really thrilled having group standing in aisle so server had to excuse himself to get by and get to us. Otherwise decor is appealing, atmosphere very good, terrific salads, enjoyed the monkfish, pork loin was a bit over-cooked though, and the service was attentive and not intrusive. Overall, would offer medium recommendation to others: it's a pretty solid restaurant from what I can tell from one visit w/ memorable salads, enjoyable, but not overly distinguished entrees and pleasant and attentive service.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced but decentLJPRVIPDined on 8/6/2013We've been here for dinner several times and enjoyed it but lunch the other day was a disappointment. The salads and mains were priced a good third higher than comparable places at comparable times. And arugula with peaches is nice but not worth $12 for a very small portion. the sound track is just odd. There are many better alternatives for lunch in the area.
- Good Food. Everything Else - MehPixelDudeDined on 8/4/2013Food-wise, pretty good for brunch. Our dishes were well prepared, fresh ingredients, nicely presented, and tasty. Service was mediocre - Way too laid back and had to ask a few times for some of the basics. Background music was so high we had to struggle to hear each other talk. Parking is a primarily on the street, and a pain (like most of SF).
- Excellent once againrenodeanVIPDined on 7/28/2013My third or fourth trip there. Great service and food. They were happy to make substitutions when my dining partner wanted a dinner item but didn't want the side that came with itSpecial Features:
- The food and service wereOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/21/2013The food and service were excellent. So glad there is another great place in SOMA to dine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service left much to be desiredalc2113Dined on 7/21/2013We came on what looked like a quiet Sunday morning - no line, plenty of empty tables. We were anticipating a great meal and realized very early on we would be left to fend for ourselves. We had to ask for water after about 10 minutes of being there, flag down a waitress to order since no one had ever stopped by to greet us, and when we did finally order she waited a solid 15 minutes before coming back and telling us she had messed up the computers and needed to reenter our order. I wish I could tell you the food was amazing but I'm not quite sure if the food was amazing or we were just that hungry that a piece of wood with jelly would have tasted great. It was really unfortunate as we were hoping to find a new weekly brunch spot.

Basic physical principles > Modulators and demodulators
A carrier wave is a radio-frequency wave that carries information. The information is attached to the carrier wave by means of a modulation process that involves the variation of one of the carrier-frequency characteristics, such as its amplitude, its frequency, or its duration. (All of these processes are discussed in greater detail in the article telecommunication system.)
In amplitude modulation the information signal varies the amplitude of the carrier wave, a process that produces a band of frequencies known as sidebands on each side of the carrier frequency. These sidebands (a pair to each modulation frequency) cover a range of frequencies equal to the sum and difference between the carrier frequency and the information signal.
Frequency modulation involves varying the frequency (the number of times the wave passes through a complete cycle in a given period of time, measured as cycles per second) of the carrier in accordance with the amplitude of the information signal. The amplitude of the carrier wave is unaffected by the variation; only its frequency changes. Frequency modulation produces more (often many more) than one pair of side frequencies for each modulation frequency.
The variation of carrier frequency is known as the frequency deviation, and for very-high-frequency broadcasting it can reach ± 75 kilohertz. The greater the frequency deviation the greater is the effective modulation. Though theoretically its maximum value need not be limited to 75 kilohertz, any increase beyond this value requires a wider channel, which adds to the cost of reception and reduces the number of transmitters that can be accommodated in the band. The total channel width is approximately twice the sum of the maximum deviation frequency and modulating frequency. If channel width is restricted in either transmitter or receiver circuits, distortion of the information signal occurs.
A radio broadcast normally consists of only one information signal. The listener hears what he would hear at the microphone position if only one of his ears was functioning; i.e., it is a monaural system. In such a system it is not possible to gain any impression of the position of the instrument groupings in an orchestra, nor can lateral movement be indicated, though movement toward or away from the microphone is conveyed by a change in sound volume.
Stereophonic broadcasting requires two microphones, one to collect sounds from the left and one from the right; the two sets of information must be separable in the receiver and be fed to loudspeakers on the left and on the right at the listening position. For high-fidelity reproduction the full audio range up to 15 kilohertz is transmitted; this can only be achieved satisfactorily at very high frequencies with frequency modulation. The broadcast signal is received on monaural receivers by making one set of information the sum of left and right signals (L + R). The other set of information is the difference of left and right (L - R). Summation of the two sets of information at the receiver output recovers the left (L) signal and subtraction recovers the right (R) signal.
Another system of modulation switches the carrier on and off in pulses, the duration or position of the pulse being determined by the information signal. This system of pulse-coded modulation can provide better protection from noise, and a number of separate speech channels can be combined by allocating specified groups of pulses for each information channel and then interleaving these pulses in a process called time division multiplex. To accomplish this, a comparatively wide transmission channel is needed, and the carrier must be an ultrahigh or superhigh frequency.

On Sunday night, February 9, 1964, the Beatles performed for the first time in America on the The Ed Sullivan Show in New York; the music world would never be the same. Scores of artists, not least among them Billy Joel and Tom Petty, have stated that seeing this seminal performance by the Fab Four inspired them to become musicians themselves. CBS celebrated in 2014 with a television special, which aired on the 50th anniversary of the broadcast.
Commemorate this momentous event in popular culture by checking out some of the many Beatles-related items in the Pioneer catalog. Here are just a few:
Beatles Anthology by The Beatles
This "Beatles autobiography" is a dense, massive, richly-appointed book with well over 1,000 photographs, and the accompanying 8-episode television program is a must-see for any Beatles fan. Episode 3 deals extensively with the band's 1964 Ed Sullivan performances.
