Art By Isaac Hastings - @IHSQUARED
The Knot Art Project
The Knot Art Projectis a multi-artist collaboration put together by Isaac Hastings.
"Knot Art" (a piece of book matched wood made by Isaac) is used as a reference for other artists to work from. Like a Rorschach test each artist individually interprets what they see and then creates a visual display by drawing, painting, sculpting, photographing, or printing. This allows the viewer of the work to see each artists vision and process.

"Many people commented on this invitation we used for the rehearsal dinner. Service couldn't have been better. Cards were here within a few days. I talked to a customer service rep for help setting up the invitation and got great help."
"I ordered these last minute for my rehearsal dinner. I ordered them in the light yellow color and they are absolutely gorgeous!! I also was able to put a photo on the back from our engagement shoot and add our wedding website again which was a plus! If you are looking for a simple and traditional invite that appeals to all ages this is your card! I love wedding paper divas!!!"

Your 5-Second Stress Fix This Holiday Week
Written on December 21, 2012 at 9:04 am , by Colleen Travers
As we gear up for a week filled with family, food, catching up with old friends and celebrating the season, times will certainly be jolly but more than likely, they'll get a little tense too. In fact, past studies done by the American Psychological Association have shown that women get more stressed than men during the holidays due to home responsibilities, and because of this are more likely to fall into bad health habits, like comfort eating.
So if your Aunt Ida has one too many and starts spouting off at the mouth about your silverware choices (yet again) or you don't know how you'll possibly be able to finish all of your shopping before Santa's sleigh rolls into town, take this tip from davidji, apprentice to Deepak Chopra and author of Secrets of Meditation: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace and Personal Transformation to SODA. And no, we don't mean the drink!
- S: Stop whatever you are doing.
- O: Observe the moment and take a deep breath to calm yourself down.
- D: Detach yourself from any drama taking place. Literally, take a step back!
- A: Awaken to your best self. Ask yourself, "How would the best version of me respond to this?"
Feel better yet? Happy holidays from the FITNESS team and here's to a happy and healthy 2013!

Bravo Star Jenni Pulos' Tips to Do It All (and Smell Pretty While Doing It!)
Written on February 9, 2012 at 2:10 pm , by Colleen Travers
Looking at Jenni Pulos' resume would make any busy bee go cross-eyed. She's starred in five seasons of Flipping Out with boss and interior design guru Jeff Lewis, she's a rapper, an actress, planning a wedding, and is now embarking on a new show with Lewis called Interior Therapy, airing on Bravo in March. It goes without saying that a woman with a hectic schedule like hers needs a good deodorant! That's why she's partnered up with Secret Outlast in their latest campaign to protect women against odor and give them peace of mind (in a recent survey from Secret, women said forgetting deodorant would affect their day more than forgetting to put on makeup!) We chatted with Pulos on how she tackles her steep to-do list while getting in shape for her upcoming wedding.
We love the new ad! Tell us about the shoot and your partnership with Secret.
This shoot was so fun, but it was 15 hours! I used the deodorant before we started and was expecting to be sweating by 3 p.m. (what we refer to as the "hour of ick") but I was dry as a bone. I can appreciate a product like this because of my lifestyle. I'm in the car all day with Jeff and he is not only OCD, but also very sensitive to smell, so this really saves any awkward car rides that might ensue. I don't get a chance to look in the mirror that often at work since we are always on the go, and this gives me one less thing to think about.
What are some of your best time-saving tips you've picked up with your job?
For work and in my personal life, physically writing down a to-do list is helpful. It's good to jot everything down and then start chopping away one thing at a time. It sounds silly, but small things like putting your keys in the same spot and making sure you put your credit cards away are the biggest time savers. Little things like that will help you keep it all together. If not, you're spending ten minutes digging through your purse to find everything.
We learned from filming Interior Therapy that organization is key. After that I went home and cleaned out my closets and reorganized my entire house. It was time consuming but I knew that getting rid of the clutter would save me time in the long run. Also, don't think too much about it! When you're deciding what clothes to donate, just do it. The more you think the more you'll start to second guess and then that shirt will end up right back in your closet.

The heads of the state's two largest school districts are looking even closer at the governor's proposed budget, and they are not happy.
CPS CEO Ron Huberman and Elgin-area schools chief Jose Torres held a news conference urging lawmakers to reject that proposed 2011 budget, which would cut $1.3 billion in education funding.
The two men said cutting opportunities in education now will lead to increased welfare and prison costs later.
"The cuts in Chicago and cuts in Elgin will cause thousands and thousands of teachers to be laid off; it puts our kids behind in dramatic ways. I would call these cuts draconian," Huberman said.
Huberman said he will lay out the details inside the proposed state budget on Friday, including exactly how many teachers would be laid off, and what education programs would be scaled back or eliminated.

Five Meal Ideas for Veg/Non-Veg Dinner Parties
Do you have a dinner party to plan, or a crowd to feed? Is it a mixed crowd? Vegetarians, vegans, and inveterate meat-lovers, perhaps? We've had some experience with meal-planning for mixed groups, and we feel like they are a great opportunity to branch out into new kinds of dishes, and to create fun meals for our guests. Here are five flexible menu ideas for vegetarians and omnivores alike.
This is perhaps the most classic and easy-to-make supper option for a mixed crowd. Make a pot of good pasta and a couple different sauces or toppings.
• 3-Sausage Pasta Sauce or a basic meat ragu should keep the meat-eaters happy, although some might spring for the vegetarian option too!
• 8 Light, Meat-Free Pasta Sauces - Including a rich mushroom sauce, a lighter broccoli and feta pesto, and a basic tomato marinara.
This one is easy, right? Make pizzas and everyone can top them just the way they like. Here are a few pizza ideas and recipes.
• Homemade Thin Crust Pizza - Here's your basic crust recipe, and recipes for sauces, too.
• Four interesting ideas for topping pizzas.
Tacos or Tortilla Wraps
See a theme? Give people a base to build their own custom meal, just like with pizza. With tacos or tortillas, it's a lot of fun to build a little bar full of guacamole, salsa, pickled onions, rice, beansand shredded meat and cheese. The omnivores can eat meat; the vegetarians can build a meat-less burrito.
• Taco Bar Fixings - Everything you need to put together a great taco bar.
• How To Cook (and Shred) a Pork Shoulder - The meat for a meal like this is super easy (and cheap) - slow-cook a big pork shoulder in the CrockPot and then shred it.
Beans are a slightly different alternative, but we like the idea of introducing meat-eaters to delicious heirloom beans. With a little meat on the side, of course. But if they love those beans like we do, they may find that they don't want to eat quite so much meat.
• How To Cook Beans - A basic primer on pot beans. Cook a couple big pots of different heirloom beans, then have a few toppings ready.
• Florida Butter Beans with Caramelized Onions and Bacon - This is an easy topping, and much richer than you might think. You could even make this for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians - one batch with bacon and one without.
Treat the meat-eaters to lots and lots of vegetables with a giant chopped salad. Have dishes on the side of chopped hard-boiled egg, bacon, fried sausage, cheeses, grilled steak strips, and other salad toppings. We love a big chopped salad with plenty of fresh garden greens, lightly cooked corn, grilled zucchini, and other good vegetables.
• Recipe Roundup: Main Dish Salads - Lots of good ideas here for main course salads.
• Salade Poubelle Paris - On the "garbage" salad, made with all sorts of things from your fridge.
What do you like to make when you cook for a mixed group?

We used to have lots of dinners with veg and non vege diners. The easiest way we found was to have everything vegetarian except for the meat only dishes. Example, we might have soup, risotto, salad and burgers. Then have the meat patties and vege patties (or portabello mushrooms) separate.
My parties are mixed. I used to make two versions of a dish - for example, a lasagna with meat and a lasagna without meat.
But even among the meat eaters, there are some who won't eat red, or who eat fish only, or who eat chicken but not pork, etc., etc. etc. I find a basic vegetarian pasta dish appeals to all.
My partner and I have an excellent book, The Flexitarian Table, that has menus with meat/vegetarian versions of each dish plus instructions on how to make both simultaneously.
The last time I had a mixed group I made chili and cornbread. Good filling food, and it was easy to put together, brown some hamburger in the bottom of a second pot, and then dump half the chili in it.
I talked to a very heavyset polosh waitress some time ago. She asked me if I liked the falafel, I did. We started talking about vegetarians, vegans and how food has become a problem these days. It seems like everybody has issues and she told me she'd given up. It's allergies, Atikins, chicken, no chicken, vegan, the "I don't eat red pepper, just yellow" people...
"These days I only serve chips and booze. Nobody's allergic to that."
True wisdom. :-)
Ha Bosse, booze are haram. I don't serve it. But Trader Joes has some great alcohol free mojitos. I'm a vegan but I find that when I go to events with vegetarian fare and meat dishes that the vegetarian stuff gets eaten by all of the omnivores. I stick to "ethnic food" that traditionally has no meat.
I'm a pescatarian, and my boyfriend is vegetarian. When I have friends over for dinner, I usually just serve vegetarian meals, making sure there is plenty of food so people don't feel deprived. If anything, I really try to open my friends' eyes to realizing they can be fully satisfied and delighted by a meatless meal. Also I love starting off with wine/cheese/olives/nuts/fruit, while I'm finishing cooking. People can snack, mingle, and not wait around starving before the food hits the table. And I've had no complaints since I started cooking veg for my friends, only compliments. :)
ach, it drives me nuts when I go somewhere and the host has veg and meat foods, and all the omnivores eat all of the vegetarian stuff, and don't leave enough for those of us who aren't eating meat. This always happens when I go somewhere and there's a meat lasagna and a vegetarian lasagna. Meat-eaters, please: can you let the vegetarians have a go at the veggie dishes first?

method for payments over Internet a means of making payments over an electronic network such as the Internet
This checklist considers some of the outline factors that can lead to greater use of electronic invoicing (e-invoicing), and considerations when implementing e-invoicing systems.
It includes TV set manufacturers, videogame consoles, and, across an array of industry sectors, a vast army of specialist control-systems manufacturers, not to mention the aviation and auto sectors, both of which could not exist in their present forms without massive input from the electronics sector
Electronic invoicing involves the replacement of manual paper-based routines with new integrated systems and processes. Expected benefits include the creation of integrated supply chains which are more cost-effective, less error-prone, faster, and simpler to manage. Other benefits include improved customer care (typically, as the joint EBA/Innopay report, "E-invoicing 2008," points out, nearly half of customer queries relate to invoicing) as well as improved risk management
By Hansjörg Nymphius
The PSD is one additional step in the efforts of the European legislators to achieve an integrated payments market. This process started with the introduction of the euro in 1999 (as an electronic currency) and 2002 (notes and coins), the implementation of new payments-related legislation at EU

On Lives - Act II
The unauthorized post of me in the buff has been removed. A lawyer friend gave me the tip that as the person who took the photo, I own the copyright and can deny someone permission to publish it on their Tumblr as per Tumblr's DMCA copyright policy. Here's my tip: Don't send an email through the Help Center, as the documents suggest. Instead, submit a DMCA Copyright Notification. I got no response from the Help Center but the photo was removed within two days after I went through Tumblr's legal channels.
All websites should have DMCA copyright policies, and this has been a lesson for me to become familiar with them. I'm not promising miracles (because life isn't fair), but this process has given me a happy ending. Maybe it can work for other people, too.

(WMC-TV) - The Memphis Zoo is celebrating something that has not happened at the zoo in more than a decade. A snow leopard cub was born July 19.
Snow leopards are highly endangered, making this birth a very big event.
The cub was born to parents Ateri, a first time mother, and Darhan.
"Ateri is a great mother," says Matt Thompson, Director of Animal Programs. "This was her first cub, and everything is going smoothly."
This week, Memphis Zoo veterinarians performed the first neonatal exam on the snow leopard cub. He is in excellent health and appears to be doing well.
Now comes the fun part... you have a chance to get involved in the naming ceremony for the new snow leopard cub! Action News 5 is teaming up with Memphis Zoo to give you the chance to vote on the cub's name.
Keep tabs on WMCTV.COM and Action News 5's Facebook page in the coming days for instructions on how to vote.

now there are "fans" who go as far as being proud to tell a member of the band to go away because he doesn't deserve to be in the band. Sending a person so many hate tweets because you thought she was going out… with her cousin. Telling someone as pretty and nice as Perrie that she doesn't deserve him. Going apeshit when we think that one of the boys are dating someone instead of being happy about the fact that there's someone out there, putting a smile on his face. I feel sorry for true fans, because I am scared about what the boys think about us. Yeah, sure they love us, for supporting them.. but how much longer is it going to take until certain people from this fandom go so far that their personal lives change forever or management takes full control of their lives? The thought of it kills me.

- Family birthday dinnerBuffyDined on 9/27/2014Lovely atmosphere. There were 6 in our party and we sat in a U shaped booth. Five of us are on the shorter side and we all felt crammed into the booth. Our waiter didn't check on us very often. We couldn't get his attention to get drink refills. Food was just ok. Brisket enchiladas weren't good. The skirt steak was delicious and they made an exception to serve the birthday honoree a lunch only item.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Won't go againPonocatVIPDined on 9/16/2014I have enjoyed the Meso Maya in uptown on McKinney several times. I was in the Preston area and decided to give this one a try. Even though it is the same menu, it is not as good. I had the vegetarian enchiladas. The blue corn tortillas were so tough that they could barely be cut, let alone chewed. There were far fewer vegetables than are served in the same dish uptown. The noise level was atrocious because the music was cranked up too high.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Food was very good quality. Definitely not Tex-Mex. Red salsa was addictive with chips. Margaritas tasted fine but not very potent.Special Features:
- Poor serviceWebsterVIPDined on 9/10/2014Our table wasn't ready for 15 minutes. Our waiter kept disappearing. Our order was very slow arriving. The food was good but the poor service kept us from enjoying the eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Real Mexican foodFrancesVIPDined on 9/5/2014Mesomaya is not Tex Mex. if you are looking for food that is heated under a heat lamp with melted orange cheese, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for authentic cooked Mexican specialties like Budin Azteca, Chicharrones, Conchinita Pibil and and other delicious dishes, this is the place to be. I love that the staff has been there a long time...it's always nice to be greeted with familiar and friendly faces. The bar is awesome. They make delicious and original specialty cocktails. Food and service is consistently good.Special Features:

- Wonderful!josem330VIPDined on 8/23/2014Excellent service and food quality. The Enchiladas with Mole were amazing. I had the Short Rib Relleno and it is one of the best meals that I have ever had. Great margaritas! I was a little disappointed with the Flan; it was a bit bland. But restaurant overall was excellent!! Will visit again!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what we expectedBoiNaBrazaDined on 8/23/2014We made reservations for Restaurant Week and expected it to be more upscale than it was. They only had 1 item to choose from on Appetizer, Main Course and Dessert. We ordered from main menu and spent what it would have cost for just 1 person on Restaurant Week. To say the least, we were a little disappointed. Not sure why they were selected to be a restaurant host for Restaurant Week. We won't be going back - not worth the drive from Grapevine.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014Love the food. Service was great. Difficult to have conversation because of noise level.Special Features:
- Excellent Authetic Mexican CuisineNextPlaceDined on 8/16/2014Meso Maya served an excellent brunch/lunch menu. All the dishes we had were flavorful, in large quantity and nicely presented: Skinng Eggs and Pulled Pork Enchiladas. The Mexican cholocate cake dessert with vanilla ice cream was wonderful too. The restaurant is large and spacious, great for a large party, but also good for a table of two. It's not noisy at all so one can have a conversation without shouting. Will be back to try more dishes.Special Features:
- Good findOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014I've been looking for good Mexican food in the Dallas/Plano area and this place came highly recommended. It lived up to the recommendation. It was a fantastic and delicious birthday date night. We will definitely go again.Special Features:
- Go to place!BelomorVIPDined on 8/10/2014For any occasion at any time - Meso Maya is a good choice! We love their take on seafood -any fish on the menu is great! With a friendly attentive service it is a perfect place for lunch, brunch or dinner!Special Features:

- Still a great go-to placeKoodlesDined on 8/1/2014We love eating here because you get good food, good drinks, good service every time. My husband always orders the top shelf margarita and i enjoy a glass of Malbec. He ordered an entree salad and I had an enchilada plate. Really good taste, temperature. We truly always have a great experience dining here--but it's not for a quiet, romantic time!Special Features:
- Spectacular! We will be back!aspergerlDined on 8/1/2014My family and I had dinner at Meso Maya. We were thrilled to learn most menu items are gluten free. My husband and son had the pollo tacos and I had the seafood enchiladas. We also had their guacamole and I had an avocado margarita. My guys enjoyed the tacos, which include habanero sauce on the side. The seafood enchiladas had generous amounts of well-seasoned shrimp, crab, and avocado, with a wonderful, tangy tomatillo sauce. The black beans that came with our meals were really good. The avocado margarita and the guacamole were outstanding. My son couldn't get enough of the guacamole, and he normally is not a big veggie fan. The staff was very friendly, especially our server. We will definitely return as soon as we can!Special Features:
- Great Food & DrinksClassyRagtopMamaDined on 7/23/2014This upscale Mexican (not TexMex) restaurant has exceptional food, drinks and service. My company brought some guests from the UK for dinner this week. Reservations were made through Open Table which was really convenient. We started with drinks and appetizers. The Avocado Margarita sounds strange but is really delicious. It is a sweeter Margarita because of the pineapple juice. We had a variety of entrees and everyone declared them delicious. We ordered two desserts to share and these were great as well. Service was attentive but unobtrusive. We really enjoyed our evening. The only negative was the noise level. With 8 guests it was very difficult to hear from one end of the table to another.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality upscale Mexican-Not TexMex!TheRealDJDined on 7/19/2014Excellent meal here with a variety of apps and dishes.Special Features:
- Great food, great service--but loudEpimetheusDined on 7/18/2014The food was quite good, and the service was exceptional. And given that it was very reasonably priced, it was a good value. It would be even better if the ambiance was equivalent to the food and service. The restaurant is very loud (with lots of infants and children when we were there) and it doesn't offer much in the way of intimacy. So I would definitely not recommend it for a romantic night out (unless you have a rather impoverished notion of what's romantic). It's a good, family-friendly neighborhood restaurant.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsChristinaLWVIPDined on 7/16/2014Favorite is the corn tamale, which I don't even think is on the menu. The blanco queso is superior to some Tex Mex. Delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

You can never go wrong with the carne asada and the margueritas are awesome. We have had a number of special occasions there and the service is great and they are set up for parties of up to 19 comfortably. The fruit cobbler desserts with ice cream are worth the calories.Special Features:
- When you want MexicanGourmetGourmandVIPDined on 6/29/2014Nothing fancy, but an OK place when you are looking for Mexican. Better salsa than most.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dazed and ConfusedkillthebuddhaDined on 6/29/2014We go to the downtown location of Meso Maya regularly and were disappointed by the Preston - Forrest location. Service was slow and confused, waiters changing mid-stream with long delays in getting drinks (and it wasn't particularly crowded). I always get Posole Verde at the other location and it's one of my favorite dishes in town. Their version bore almost no resemblance - chicken instead of pork, hardly any hominy, and barely seasoned. I suspect that the heavily Anglo clientele causes them to tone down the food. Diner's downtown are more varied lot, with, I imagine, more sophisticated palettes. Go there for food and atmosphere; go to Preston-Forrest if you're accompanied by kids or really old people.Special Features:
- Excellent 1st time experienceInvictusDined on 6/28/2014The food was excellent and service was magnificent. We admittedly went at a time in which the restaurant wasn't extremely crowded, so that may be a factor, but our experience was very positive. There were 5 of us and each person remarked at the quality of the meal and the exceptional flavors that we hadn't had in many other restaurants that compete in this space. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

If you want something different they have wonderful Mayan dishes! Great Margaritas on the rocks....simply great! Make a reservation if you can or be prepared much of the time to wait. Great neighborhood find for us....we are becoming regulars! You will too!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the WaitMrsPrestonHollowVIPDined on 6/12/2014We had to wait over 20 minutes for a welcome cocktail. I finally telephoned the restaurant and asked for our waiter. He appeared and said, "I was here, I bought your water." Great, but a greeting and a drink would have been good too. Once we got past that, it was all good. Several of us enjoyed the salmon. This place is a fave and we will be back....Suspect service this time was not the norm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

New York–Yes, Al Horford said "you take it personally" when someone calls you out in the media the way Amar'e Stoudemire has done twice to Horford this season.
But Horford, not much for hype, says he will make his point tonight at Madison Square Garden against Amar'e's Knicks.
"He's a talker. He's going to talk, you know what I'm saying?" he said at shootaround today. "All I do is bring my game to the court. That's what I will do tonight."
Stoudemire has tried to inflame what already promised to be an intense game after Marvin Williams and Shawne Williams scuffled during Atlanta's 111-102 victory on Jan. 28. Both immediately after that game and again yesterday, Stoudemire seemed to question Horford's toughness and declared that Horford "doesn't want to see me."
Horford seemed more amused than offended by that last part.
"I don't understand what he means by I don't want to see him," Horford said. "Like we are supposed to be scared of him or something. Ain't nobody scared of nobody. We are all grown men. It's all good."
Seemingly lost amid the fight and Amare's tough talk is that the Hawks own two victories this season against the Knicks, who are being left behind by Atlanta in the Eastern Conference standings.
Before the victory at Philips the Hawks won 99-90 on Nov. 27 at the Garden, after which New York won seven straight against mostly lesser competition.
"I walked out with the W's the last two times," Horford said. "So that's that."
Horford was productive and efficient in both games. In New York he had 17 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and one turnover while shooting 7 of 14 from the field. In Atlanta he had 19 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block (against Amar'e) and one turnover while shooting 8 of 12 from the field.
Amar'e has scored more than Horford in the matchups but hasn't been as efficient. In New York he had 24 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four turnovers while shooting 7 of 15 from the field. In Atlanta he had 27 points, three rebounds, one assist, zero steals, one block and three turnovers while shooting 9 of 21 from the field.
And Stoudemire is down 0-2 where it counts most, though he's certainly leading in sound bites.
"He's making a huge deal out of this," Horford said. "It's just another game. I'm coming out ready to play, like I do everything night."
Oh, yeah, the game.
Coach Larry Drew said he would use the "big" lineup again tonight, unless the Knicks go small with Amar'e at center instead of Mozgov.
"That would not be a favorable matchup for Twin," Drew said with a wry smile.
As for all the noise surrounding the game, Drew the Hawks don't need it to get going but said he's always willing to use "whatever it takes to get my guys juiced up and motivated." In this case, though, he doesn't think he needs to say much to his players.
"They see it. They hear it. They got on the bus [for shootaround] telling me some things. They are aware of it. And they were expecting it. It's not a thing about anybody being surprised."
Al acknowledged that, in the end, the game could end up being a fun spectacle.
"We're playing at the Garden, man," he said. "It doesn't get any bigger than this, at least for me. Any time I come to New York I am looking forward to it, pre-Amare Stoudemire and with him being here. So I am just excited to play."

We got to stop Ramon Felton. He can't be allowed to get into the paint and create shots for other people. If we can limit the pick and roll Ann Mare will have to play straight up against Al which will be where the game is won. Ann is known for forcing shots in heated competition.
So both Bibby and Teague will be needed tonight.

With all due respect to Al Horford, Amarie Stoudemire has been puttin it down for a number of years now. He is one of the best Ballers in the NBA regardless of what Al thinks. Most of these quotes are taken out of context anyway, just to start up some fake hype. and whle were on the subject, it was Josh Smith who looked like a big jerk by grabbing his privates on national TV the last time they played. Real, immature stuff.

Atlanta has won both games and i don't see any reason why they can't win this one

As an avid hawks fan, I think we are getting a bit overzealous here. Amare is having an MVP season and can get to the rim at will against Al. The same can't be said for our guy. We are 2-0 in the series because of the other guys on NY – not Amare.
February 16th, 2011
3:37 pm
The key is Amare started this mess and pursued it. Do you want Al to bow down and say yes sir? Amare is calling Al out and Al is just responding as professionally as he can be expected to. You gotta believe he's tired of questions about what he thinks about Amare's comments.
Just show up Hawks and get the W.

Folks, this is why basketball is a team sport, not an individual, one on one sport. The only one on one really comes into play is if the score is tied and one of the guys has the ball at the end of the game. Then it matters, otherwise, who cares how many points he scores?

Anybody saw the rumors of a Hawks trade on CBSSports.com? They are reporting that the Hawks are looking at guard help and looking at Ramon Sessions on the Cavaliers. Interesting. But who do they give up for Ramon? Maybe an expiring contact or so or maybe even Marvin
February 16th, 2011
4:50 pm
So hoopshype is reporting that the Hawks are looking into Sessions from the Cavs. Cavs previously expressed interest in Marvin. Would anyone do a Sessions and Antawn Jamison for Marvin and Jamal trade?
February 16th, 2011

HoosierHawk, I would do a Marvin and Jamal trade for Sessions and Anthony Parker
February 16th, 2011

Yea i also saw something about Sessions on ESPN NBA rumors i would like have Mayo but if we can Jamison and Sessions would sweat if Sund had some guts to pull it off .
February 16th, 2011
5:14 pm
I've watched the last NY game several times and I guess they didn't catch watch Al did on camera, because for the life of me I don't know what Amare is talking about. If he's calling out Al for talking to the fans and not him then I'm really confused on what type of guy he is. How can you be a tough guy when your defending people who don't need to be defended. If he's trying to pump himself up then I understand but otherwise "What is he talking about?". To me what really happened in the game was NY got embarrassed by Smoove's highlight dunks and began getting a little physical. It reminded me of how Miami responded in the Playoffs after they got embarrassed in game 1.
February 16th, 2011
5:16 pm
I also read that Sessions was rated in the worst 5 defenders per synergy, but those ratings don't take into account a lot of things (ex: how your teammates are as defenders when your team is abysmal).
Why does no one mention that if we had a PG who could run better than Bibby, we have the fastest moth athletic front court in the NBA? Would be perfect to run the break.
February 16th, 2011
5:22 pm
Wow, I wish this game was televised man.

I dont know if I like that trade…I would rather get Bynum & Ron Artest from the Lakers..they are willing to trade those 2..
February 16th, 2011
5:29 pm
Sessions for Mo Evans and Jeff Teague? Wouldn't hurt us at all Ramon dropped 40 a few years ago and it would free up a lot of time for Damien and Marvin, possibly even Smoove at the 3.
Someone mentioned Sessions a few weeks ago and I think he is the most affordable guard we can acquire before the deadline without losing any of our big pieces, plus he can penetrate and get to the line frequently and he's a great FT shooter.
February 16th, 2011
5:36 pm
Lost in Space!
Lost in all the talk and fighting is:
They play immediately before Marvin "smushed" Shawne on the back of his head is, the power BLOCK that Boss put on Amare'. Apparently, Al "smushed his knee on that block, because the next Knicks game or two?
Amare' was unable to play due to a knee injury from that Hawks game.
Aye Al! Get 'Em. Period.

I just saw your video you posted up..just wanted to say you have a beautiful smile!!
February 16th, 2011
5:40 pm
Who would we trade for Sessions? The Cavs need a SF and a C. Would they take scrubs w/ expirings just to fill these spots? If, so:
Yeah, we get even thinner at SF, but I don't see how it would be worth it any other way …

Hawks Seek Guard Help, May Target Sessions
Feb 16, 2011 14:04 PM EST
The Hawks are in the market to bolster their backcourt and may have interest in Cleveland's Ramon Sessions.
Rival executives believe that Atlanta could spend up to or perhaps a little over the luxury tax threshold to improve the team's chances of taking down Boston, Miami or Olrando in the playoffs.

Tonight is definitely NOT the night to be showing ANYBODY affiliated with the Knicks any love or respect. If the show was on the other foot, you'd bet that you wouldn't be seeing a select few fans saying . . "now, now Landry Fields. Don't go talking to Joe, because you know he's better than you".
Knick fans would want Landry to play at the highest level possible.
Keep in mind folks, if we get that 3rd seed, the Knicks will be our opponent in Round 1. I don't want to give this team any hope that they can beat us in a playoff series.
I don't hate Amar'e as a person or a player.
But for tonight . . "Eat a (( bleep ))" Amare."
Al should come into the arena, dressed as "Black Jesus" ( the nickname Amar'e likes to call himself. ). And who does he think he is, adding accent marks and apostrophes to his name. LOL @ him trying to punk Al. Al bet not let Amar'e punk him.
I'm hoping that this game has a playoff intensity to it.

If we trade for sessions does that mean jamal is expendable? He would nolonger be our back-up PG and Couldn't Bibby and Marvin make-up for his scoring. Would they then trade for someone like Pryzbilla.

From John Weis
Well, it's been approximately 2 months since my last blog about Haiti and the start of my assignment and I wanted to share with you some of the experiences and projects we're working on. In summary, it's been an emotional roller coaster ride with its share of rewarding experiences and frustrations in terms of helping as many people as you can but not helping enough.
Adam asked me to write this a couple of weeks ago but at the time I was in a very frustrated state of mind with projects that were not moving forward, communities not getting enough help and things grinding to a halt. If I wrote the blog then, it would have not been very positive, so I wanted to spare you the whining and write this when there was more progress going on down there.
In short, there is progress being made but at a very slow pace. The immediate relief in terms of medical, rescue and security was handled by a variety of international organizations including the US Military, Israeli Government, Red Cross and a host of other groups that are too numerous to count. There were also smaller organizations on the ground referred to as NGO's (Non-Government Organization) that assisted in the relief effort and most of them are in it for the long haul.
At this point, a significant number of agencies that were there in the initial stages are leaving the country with their work completed and relative stability maintained at the moment. There is still a huge amount of work that needs to be done though, mainly in the area of housing and clean up. The tasks are monumental and if you think about it for too long, it's discouraging. When you reach those points, you have to step back and realize you are doing everything you can and you're making a difference for the people you're in direct contact with — especially the kids.
Anyway, we have had a busy couple of months and the team at Royal Caribbean, Labadee, our ships and SOLANO has put forth a heroic effort in helping Haiti recover from this disaster. Here is a list of what has been accomplished to date:
1. Relief Supplies – This is where everyone at Royal Caribbean really came through working together to deliver desperately needed medical supplies, food, water and equipment of all kinds via the vessels that call on Labadee:
a. 2,425 pallets
b. Or 121 truckloads of relief supplies
There are many people involved in coordinating these deliveries and all of them play a critical role but I wanted to recognize some of the key individuals that are making this happen weekly: David Scott and David Southby (Site Managers at Labadee), Richard Pruitt and Lauren Ordway (Shoreside Royal Caribbean) Don Cope and Laura Pullins (Royal Caribbean Logistics) and all the shipboard crew making the space for an extra 5 truckloads of relief supplies each voyage that calls on Labadee.
2. We worked with Maryse Kedar, SOLANO President, to open and maintain over 15 temporary schools in the Port Au Prince area. Also constructed over 30 water tanks in the camp areas bringing fresh water to thousands of Haitian's living in those camps.
3. Completed plans and raised enough money for the construction of two primary schools in the north.
4. Working on the construction of an orphanage in the Port Au Prince area in partnership with Partners in Health.
5. Coordination of over 10 barges of tents, equipment, vehicles and other supplies directly to the Port Au Prince area.
Also, in any single day there are numerous requests to coordinate special deliveries, make sure a hospital gets food or water or kids going to a temporary school have schools supplies for the children. If you know someone that can help, or can do it yourself, you usually get involved. It's really hard to say no.
Interested in helping? Royal Caribbean International is working with Food For The Poor and the Pan American Development Foundation. We encourage guests to make monetary donations to either of these organizations which are currently engaged in the relief effort.

UPDATED 8:25a PT -- Adobe Systems is ending development of its Flash plug-ins for mobile browsers, the company confirmed today. Instead, Adobe will focus on HTML5 and, to a lesser extent, its AIR runtime environment. Adobe says it will work on tools that convert Flash content and apps to HTML5 and AIR versions for use on mobile, rather than continue to develop its mobile Flash Player.
Adobe has been working on mobile Flash for years, but shipped an Android version only a year ago and on both HP WebOS and the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook tablet this summer. Apple has adamantly refused to allow Flash on iOS over performance concerns (though it does allow AIR), and Flash has also not appeared in the BlackBerry smartphone OS or in Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 despite Adobe's promises to do so.

Adobe also announced on Tuesday that it will cut 750 jobs and reduce its investment in enterprise software as part of a broader plan to target the fast-growing markets for digital media and digital marketing products, the company said Tuesday. Adobe will provide details of the plan at a meeting for financial analysts in New York this morning, it said. Adobe also lowered its earnings outlook for the current quarter, in part to pay for the layoffs.
The enterprise changes are part of a restructuring plan intended to increase Adobe's focus on what it called the "exploding growth categories" of digital media and digital marketing. Adobe targets those markets with tools for content creation and distribution, and for measuring results from digital marketing campaigns.
"To drive increased Digital Marketing bookings, which are recognized as recurring revenue, the company will reduce its investment, and expected license revenue, in certain enterprise solution product lines," Adobe said in a statement. But it declined to comment ahead of the analyst meeting today on which enterprise products would be affected, or how they would be affected.
Its enterprise products include Adobe Connect and Adobe LiveCycle, as well as Web content management software it acquired last year when it bought Day Software. The category doesn't include its Acrobat products, which are part of Adobe's Knowledge Worker division. The enterprise products generated less than 10 percent of Adobe's revenue last quarter, far less than its content creation and digital media divisions.
