Fat in the human body is scientifically known as adipose tissue. This vital part of how our bodies store metabolic energy. Adipocytes also store fat from our daily food intake and from the metabolism of our liver. In some cases, if the body's metabolism is much lower than the body's fat and cholesterol intake, it will result in an increase in stored fat. This is when the bulges show up. For most women, the accumulated fat is very much visible in the abdominal area. This is exactly why most of them want to know how to lose belly fat.
Many factors contribute to belly fat. Constant lack of exercise is the most common reason. Even if you don't eat a lot, lack of frequent movement will result in belly fat. A sedentary lifestyle along with a high fat and sugar intake will certainly make matters worse. Getting rid of belly fat is not as easy as you think. It may take some time and a lot of patience. Just as long as you are determined, nothing is impossible.
Here are some helpful tips that can guide you through the challenge:
The first thing that you have to do is tone down your overall body fat. This way, it will be easier to deal with the different and specific locations of the accumulated fats. This may seem very difficult, especially if you have a lot to lose; however, you have to start as soon as possible if you really want to lose your belly fat. You can start with some cardio exercises for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Gradually increase the time and pace as you go along.
Diet is really a big part of losing your belly fat. However, you have to do it the right way. This is not synonymous to starvation! Diet simply means eating the right kind and amount of food. Limit your carbs, sugar and fat intake. Eat more fruits and vegetables as these can help in your digestion. One thing to remember is that it is better to have six small meals rather than three big ones. This will not only lessen you binge eating habit, it is also better for your digestion.
Now, the real work begins. Once you have decreased your body weight and improved your metabolism, it is now time to work on your belly fat. Doing belly exercises will be more effective. You can start by doing your usual cardio routine first; afterward, you can start with crunches. To start, perform 15 crunches continuously. You have to do them without stopping to maintain the momentum.
The last thing that you have to keep in mind is that these steps should be performed continuously. This is what you call a lifestyle. You don't stop. This is because your body has the tendency to return to its previous state once you stop working out. If you are happy with your shape, just keep it up by doing basic exercises and maintaining your diet.
Learning how to lose belly fat is easy; doing it is actually the difficult part.

A generation grows up, finally
24 November 2013 @ 2:09 pm
There was a time in the not-so-distant past when it was sacrilege to say anything against Sachin Tendulkar. Unless of course, you were the parent or grand parent of a boy who ignored school, sleep and all else when India was playing. It was then acceptable to needle the son with "How much did Tendulkar hit? Nothing? Is that what you stayed up all night to watch?" The boy would be stung by that comment and would decide not to watch the fourth day's play of the test match against the West Indies at Bridgetown, Barbados. Until the game started at 7.30 PM. This time Tendulkar would score a hundred albeit in what would eventually be a losing cause. It made staying up until 3 AM worth it. Even if the next morning his father would look at the late city edition of The Hindu and say "As usual! India can't win when he scores." The boy has another ephemeral episode of sanity and decides not to watch the first one-dayer. Until, of course, the game starts. Another sleepless night, punctuated by his dad's comments when he wakes up to go to the loo : "What's the score?" To the boy's rotten luck, Kumble would have bowled the first full toss in 7 overs. "Oh! They're hitting sixers! Go to sleep, India will lose!" or later on "Tendulkar in the 90s? He'll slow down. Go to sleep, India will lose!"
Within one week, the boy is exposed to the three most common accusations of Tendulkar's frailty:
1. He doesn't always score.
2. If he scores, India loses.
3. He slows down in his 90s and consequently causes India to lose.
Of course, the person making these accusations is doing it not because he doesn't like Tendulkar or cricket but because he is concerned about his son's unhealthy interest in cricket. Because, as I said earlier, this was back in the day when even Sanjay Manjrekar could only wax eloquent about the man he called "Teyndoolkar."
Times have changed now. The younger guns started to make their mark, India started winning whether he scored, didn't score or slowed down in the 90s. And ever since he struggled to get that purely statistical landmark of the hundredth century, more and more people started questioning his presence in the Indian team. The recent modes of dismissal only served raised the decibel levels of those that didn't want him anymore. It also made the arguments of those who still wanted him shrill and purely emotional. But very few made compelling arguments one way or the other. They either appealed to emotion or cited anecdotal examples to make their cases. But this was a different kind of criticism, fueled more by Tendulkar-hate than concern about children's interest in cricket. Because, by now, people stopped caring as much about Tendulkar. Kids weren't bunking school to watch him play anymore. His arrival at the crease did not raise the pulse of the entire nation anymore. His dismissals weren't resulting in switched off television sets.
Until the Wankhede test last week. It was the same exhilarating feeling as he arrived at the crease. The same butterflies in the stomach as he prepared to face his first ball. The same missed heartbeat as he played at and missed a wide half-volley. It was the 1990's all over again. I was a little kid again. Tendulkar was a prodigious talent again. If that wasn't enough, it was the same crestfallen feeling and desire to turn off the TV as he got out. And if that wasn't enough, it was the same anger rising up inside expecting the dad to come by and ask "Did Tendulkar get out before getting a century? To an unknown bowler? Ha!" But that didn't happen this time.
An era had ended. A generation had finally grown up.
A Random Rant
23 November 2013 @ 9:16 pm
I hate cliches. Despise them, actually. Almost as much as this guy hates runners. But there are times when you are too tired to come up with clever titles for faux-intellectual posts about life, universe and everything else pretentious.
These are the times when you realise why you really have a blog - your own space to rant, vent, spew venom and make unsubstantiated claims, all in an annoyingly public forum that lets everyone who knows you on facebook, twitter, tumblr and gmail that you just wrote a new post.
This is one of those times. Hence the cliche of cliched blog post titles, "A Random Rant". That it is alliterative is no saving grace. It doesn't even hold a candle to "Obsessively Obsequious". But I digress. I am tired. And this is an angry rant filled with hatred.
When I read the aforementioned article on WSJ, I was struck by two things -
1. What kind of journalistic standards or lack thereof permit articles like this to make the cut?
2. What kind of messed up person spews this kind of vitriol on people who are just running to stay healthy?
Answering the first question will probably need a post of its own. But the second question turned out to be rather easy to answer.
You don't need to be a messed up person to hate something as innocuous as running, or runners. Or bikers for that matter. Yeah, that's where this post is heading. I hate bikers. Almost as much as I hate those damn cliches. Not all kinds of bikers. Just the ones who race down sidewalks. And mow down pedestrians. Like me.
I got hit by a biker. From behind. On a sidewalk. I was knocked against a wall and then down, in the process acquiring plenty of bruises that continue to hurt more than a week after the accident. My first reaction? "I @#&!ing hate bikers!" Here was a biker, no helmet, no lights, no reflective clothing, racing down the sidewalk filled with people on his bike, mowing me down and all he gets is a slightly bent front wheel? Where's the justice in the world I ask you? No, he did not have a bell nor did he call out that he was behind me. Nor was I the only person on the sidewalk.
Maybe Stakos was mowed down by a runner as he walking on the sidewalk one day. Or maybe he is just a #@&*. But I understand irrational hate.
So, you morons, stop biking on the sidewalk. If there's no space on the road, don't take your hate out on us poor pedestrians. Specifically, stop crashing into me. I don't like it. And it detracts me blogging superciliously
about energy policy and property tax regulation. And worse, it makes me resort to terrible cliches.
The world can do without more cliches. And poorly-written crap like this. And disjointed and grammatically-puke-inducing sentences.
End of A Random Rant.
Indian Wind Industry Gets … uhm … Second Wind
6 September 2012 @ 9:46 pm
As of April 2012, the accelerated depreciation benefit for wind energy projects in India was discontinued. This was expected to hit the industry hard. This fear seemed real enough until some developers recently figured out that they didn't have to depend on turnkey solutions from wind turbine manufacturers anymore. How did this happen?
For many years, the major reason for the growth of the wind energy sector in India was the accelerated depreciation benefit. Captive consumers, as industrial electricity consumers are referred to, were the majority of the wind project owners. For industries such as the cotton spinning mills, investing in an electricity producing asset depreciating its value at 80% annually was an extremely attractive option. Since they didn't seek to build large wind farms but just erect one or two turbines, their needs didn't quite make an attractive proposition for wind energy developers. So wind turbine manufacturers such as Suzlon, Vestas and, in the past, NEPC stepped in to offer turnkey wind solutions to the mill owners. They would take care of land acquisition, permitting and grid interconnection, and obviously the turbine manufacturing and installation.
Since the primary incentive was the accelerated depreciation benefit, neither the mill owner nor the turbine manufacturer cared if the turbine generated any electricity or if the grid had capacity to evacuate that power. To counter this perverse incentive, generation based incentives were introduced. The power producer would get paid Rs. 0.50 (US $0.01) for every kWh of electricity generated. While this increased the number of entrants interested in more than accelerated depreciation to about 30% of new projects, it still did not incentivise the utility companies (now transmission companies) to provide the necessary infrastructure to evacuate the power.
To counter this, the government introduced Renewable Purchase Obligations (RPO) mandating that a certain percentage of electricity purchased by each utility be from renewable sources. After this, the government also decided to remove the accelerated depreciation benefit and the feed-in tariff and instead introduced a Renewable Energy Credit trading exchange.
While everyone feared it might sound the death knell for the wind industry in India, especially with solar energy getting a boost through the National Solar Mission and individual state solar missions, wind energy developers realised that they could take advantage of the drop in turbine prices worldwide. A few developers, like Green Infra, Greenko Group and Mytrah Energy, decided to discontinue the existing model and instead develop the projects (acquire the land, take care of permitting and interconnection) themselves and turn to the manufacturers to just order the turbines.
As the Bloomberg article points out, companies like Vestas, Gamesa and Suzlon, were still charging high prices for projects despite the fall in turbine prices, citing high development costs. Breaking the vertical integration by decoupling turbine manufacturing from development, these developers are now able to realise the monetary benefits from falling turbine prices by ordering from manufacturers like GE and developing the projects themselves.
With turbine prices falling and coal prices still rising, many more wind developers might do what these three developers did. From this case, it seems like the New and Renewable Energy Ministry hasn't yet been infected by the policy paralysis that the other ministries seem to be caught in. Having the right kind of incentives in place and letting the private sector figure the best path ahead seems to have worked here.
And oh, pardon the lame pun in the title. I haven't been blogging lately and the rustiness wears off really slowly!
An Open Letter to Markandeya Katju - Part 1
30 January 2012 @ 5:55 am
Dear Sir,
I want to congratulate you on your not-so-recent appointment as the Chairman of the Press Council of India. Since taking over, you've done some amazing things, some of them so amazing that I cannot help but resort to hyperbole while describing your achievements. So please excuse me if this letter seems a little sycophantic. I really mean this, every word of it. Just like you did, last year.
Also, I write this in several parts because I admire you greatly and have a lot to write to you about, and could not possibly write the whole letter in one sitting.
Hardly a few days after you took over the Chairmanship of the PCI, your dynamic and bold nature was on display in your op-ed. You hit the nail on the head with your three-point summary of the problems with the media in India.
Your first point particularly resonates with me. The media focus (or focuses, if I were to consider media to be a singular noun, like you do) on trivial things. I share your pain when you say :
"To give an example, I switched on the T.V. yesterday and what did I see? Lady Gaga has come to India, Kareena Kapoor standing next to her statue in Madame Tussand's, tourism award being given to a business house, Formula one car race etc. etc. What has all this to do with the problems of the people?"
I too have, on several occasions, turned on the TV, skipped past Doordarshan and Discovery Channel to go to Star Cricket, NDTV, CNN-IBN and other such trashy electronic media and been depressed by their focus on trivial content. I am sure millions of other Indians who watch these channels agree with you that they had no choice but to watch the trash on air and let the media think that's the content they wanted. If only they had the choice to turn off the television.
You hit another nail on the same head when you lament about the importance given to astrology in the media. You say:
"Many T.V. channels show astrology. Astrology is not to be confused with astronomy. While astronomy is a science, astrology is pure superstition and humbug. "
What is most appreciable here is that you not just state obvious facts, but you also state the impeccable logic behind that statement.
" No doubt most people in our country believe in astrology, but that is because their mental level is very low."
I couldn't agree more with you. Most people in India indeed have a very low "mental level".
Where you differ from armchair critics (By the way, I think you should address and lambast them in a separate article) is that you provide solutions and demonstrate their efficacy with brilliant statistics.
" These will […] be […] informal get-togethers where we will discuss issues relating to the media and try to resolve them in the democratic way, that is, by discussion, consultation and dialogue. I believe 90% problems can be resolved in this way."
My belief is that 80 per cent people who are doing wrong things can be made good people by patient persuasion, pointing out their errors, and gently leading them to the honourable path which the print media in Europe in the Age of Enlightenment was following.
Admirably, you even back up your personal beliefs with statistics. How many people in India can do that? Very few, since we know that most Indians' mental level is very low.
Yours Sincerely,
Arvind Balachander
End of Part 1.
Coming up: Your penchant for facts. And your rightful sense of outrage. And your belief in democracy.

800 Million Indians ready to pay more for renewable energy?
27 September 2011 @ 4:55 pm
Yes! Apparently, that's how popular renewable energy is in India, if you go by articles like this that are reporting on a survey by Mercom Capital titled the Indian Renewable Energy Awareness Survey.
Sounds incredible, right? Right! If, by incredible, you mean not credible. Let's dig into your report a little.
There seem to be two major claims in this statement.
- Claim 1: 71% of Indian consumers are ready to pay more for renewable energy.
So, 39% said yes, 32% said maybe and you think with education, we could convert the maybe's to yeses? That makes total sense. I buy your 71% number now completely, Mercom.
- Claim 2: 71% of Indian consumers are ready to pay more for renewable energy.
Proof: Now that you have convinced me about the 71% number, tell me more about these Indian consumers. They're from all over the country, right? A representative sample, right?
Absolutely right!
Perfect! From around Bangalore and Mysore. For those without an idea of where these places are:
Image source: World Geographics
That clearly is very representative of the whole nation! Well done, Mercom!
Oh wait, you said 71% of Indian consumers. How many did you survey?
A total of 509 respondents were interviewed for this survey.
You managed to survey 509 out of 1.1 billion. That's about one half of one hundredth of a percentage point (0.000045%). Can't get any more comprehensive than that!
To break it down, 198 of the 509 people said "Yes, we'll pay more for renewable energy". 163 people said "Maybe…". Wow!
361 = 800 Million. Hence Proved!
18 August 2011 @ 6:03 amThat's Ladakhi for Hello. That's what they speak in Leh. That's where I am right now. 12,000 feet above Mean Sea Level.
Day 1 : August 14, 2011 : Chennai
6.00 PM : We set off on a trip on time. How did that happen? Right, we forgot to print our return tickets. Dhristi Pariharam - Check!
See a VW Beetle on the way to the airport.
6.25 PM : No traffic jams. Reach the airport in just 25 minutes. Of course, there's the idiot who's late and demands to be allowed to bypass the security queue. Of course, he's allowed to.
6.35 PM : Check in all our naphthalene-ball-scented winter clothes and get our boarding pass to "Lee". "No oxygen there!", I am informed. Oh no! "No problem, just hold your breath and save the oxygen in your lungs", comes the solution. Humour from the airport staff, thanks to the lack of crowds.
6.50 PM : Dinner! Packed idlis and molagai podi. See a couple of people buy idli and sambar for exorbitant prices at the airport. Ha!
8.20 PM : Plane takes off at the scheduled time. What's happening? Amma finally gets the window seat. To our surprise, dinner's part of the package in the plane. Dang! If only it weren't Gayatri Japam!
Day 1 : August 14, 2011 : New Delhi
11.10 PM : Plane lands in Delhi on time. What's happening, really?! Terminal 3 - seems posh and big. Really big. Thankfully we get a ride on the airport vehicle. All of you who pushed past me in the plane to get out and still got to the exit after we did - SUCK IT!
11.25 PM : After a bit of searching, we find the transfer section. Delhi Airport Recycles (atleast Terminal 3 does), but unfortunately I don't get to use it. :|
The departure are is pretty sweet! There are even long reclining seats meant for the overnight stopover at the airport. Atleast, we decided that it was.
We even had pigeons for company!
Day 2 : August 15, 2011 : New Delhi
1.00 AM : Unfortunately some airport staff decide that the seats next to the ones we're sleeping on are meant for midnight airline gossip. "Happy Independence Day", I wish them as we relocate to another spot in the airport to try to get some sleep somehow. These recliners are even more fancy. Curved to comfortably fit your back or your big backside.
2.30 AM : Paavi pora edam paadhalam - Some other airport staff decide to load and unload some cartons very noisily a couple of feet from where we are still trying to sleep. "Happy Independence Day", one of those guys wishes me.
4.00 AM : Brushing my teeth in the restroom. Some Caucasian-looking dude walks by, gives me a dirty look and tut-tuts in disgust. Oh really? It's on!
"Yes? Did you say something?"
"Huh? What?"
"You said something?"
"Er… I don't think this … is the place … for brushing…"
"You have a problem? YOU HAVE A PROBLEM? "
"No… No… No… Sorry!"
4.45 AM : Boarding starts, 20 minutes before schedule. We could get used to things happening according to plan! Friendly Caucasian dude is one row ahead of me. Doesn't turn back for the entire duration of the flight. Ha!
5.45 AM : Plane takes off. Of course, on the dot!
Day 2 : August 15, 2011 : Leh, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir
6.45 AM : Beautiful views of the Ladakhi landscape - dry sandy plateaus, rocky/andy mountains, some snow-capped peaks and green valleys - as the plane descends. Plane lands, ahead of time! Waits ten minutes to get a gate position. 13 C! Brrrr!!! And oh, yes, the checked in baggage comes out on time in good shape. The guy from Hotel Cho Palace is waiting for us with a placard. The hotel is just 5 minutes from the airport. Looks great on entry. "Hayya! Apples!" - Amma is clearly excited! Room's perfect too. Running up the stairs in the Himalayas is not a good idea. We're all terribly out of breath by the time we come to our room.
7.45 AM : Bathe in cold water. Refreshing!
9.00 AM : Breakfast - corn flakes, oatmeal, sliced bread with jam and butter and finally the local dish - aloo paratha. Still don't understand how people can have stuffed parathas for breakfast. Masala Chai is excellent, almost as good as mine!
10.00 AM : Crash! Finally shut our eyes to sleep. Dreamless slumber.
1.00 PM : Wake up and get ready for lunch.
2.30 PM : Done with lunch. Excellent - hot, tasty and super fast service.
3.00 PM : Meet Singchey Wangchuk - the guy we spoke to over the phone for reservations. Knowledgeable, polite and honest. Make travel arrangements for tomorrow. Repeatedly advises us to not do stupid things like going for a walk on our first day in such high altitudes. For some reason, the lack of oxygen reminded me of Michelle Bachmann's love for CO2.
3.30 PM : Another cup of excellent masala chai.
4.00 PM : Appa and I ignore Singchey's advice. Set out on a walk towards the airport. Get past crazy furry cows and crazy furry dogs. Turns out my fear of dogs has not been conquered. Damn! Interesting architecture - stone compound walls for every single plot of land. People store water in drums that are locked. Clearly, oxygen isn't the only thing in short supply - serious water and trust deficit.
6.00 PM : YET ANOTHER cup of still excellent masala chai to celebrate the completion of our long walk.
8.00 PM : Hungry and waiting for the dining hall to open for dinner. Finish typing out the Day 1 and Day 2 report.
Of people, glass houses and stones
12 August 2011 @ 11:44 pm
Really, America? You want to play this game? What if the headlines tomorrow read :
No? Not to your liking? You get to do business with totalitarian regimes that crush popular dissent with force, but we can't? These kind of double standards don't work anymore. Maybe if you were a country with a AAA credit rating…

After consecutive years of first-round wins but second-round humiliations, the Hawks are in a precarious situation. They are mandating improvement at a time when their best — albeit sometimes unpopular — player, Joe Johnson, is entering free agency and owners have a death grip on their wallets.
The draft is Thursday. It's safe to assume that the Hawks' chances of taking the next step do not hinge on the 24th selection. It depends on almost everything else: Johnson's re-signing; the front-office scramble if he leaves; the potential return or trade of expatriate, Josh Childress; any potential trade involving almost anybody else (save Al Horford, who might as well stick his feet in concrete because he's not going anywhere).
As summers go, this one ranks up there in importance with any in Hawks' history. If they take a step back, they potentially lose some of the goodwill they've built up. Even if they remain flat, there will be cries to blow it up again.
The team has made one move this off-season and it didn't exactly jump start a season ticket campaign: Larry Drew's promotion to head coach. Whether you believe that criticism was justified or not, it's undeniable. How do the Hawks combat that? Or do they bother?
This is where general manager Rick Sund attempts to add perspective: "I don't think I've ever seen an off-season where people didn't say this was an important year — and most years the media says, 'It's the most important year.' I think every year is important. Last year was important. The year before that was important – you had Josh Smith and Josh Childress as free agents and they had just made the playoffs for the first time."
Point taken. Here's the counter-argument: Higher expectations bring greater demands. Sund set the bar himself when he decided to change head coaches.
Last summer, after the step up with the playoff series win over Miami, Sund re-signed three of the team's free agents: Mike Bibby, Marvin Williams and Zaza Pachulia. It seemed big then. Doesn't seem as big now. Bibby's nose dive this past season didn't help. Neither did another year of seeming underachievement by Williams. (The biggest move easily turned out to be the acquisition of Jamal Crawford.)
Sund will tell you draft plans are not impacted by Johnson's impending free agency because, logically, the 24th pick won't be on that level. Besides, nobody is sure where Johnson starts — possibly not even he. The Hawks can offer one more season (six years) on a contract than other bidders. But there's also a sense Johnson might be fed up with fan and media criticism and prefers to start fresh elsewhere.
Even if the Hawks re-sign Johnson, they have to figure out how to re-market the All-Star, given the damage he caused with pedestrian playoff performances and comments during the Orlando series. But they'll worry about that later.
This could be a chance for Sund to remake the team, but he doesn't have any desire to do so. The problem: if Johnson bolts, he'll need more than Spackle.
Here's one idea: Chris Paul.
The throw-it-against-the-wall rumor quotient in the NBA is higher than ever. In addition to the free agency class, there have been several reports that Paul, arguably the best point guard in the league when healthy, has been put on the trading block by New Orleans. The Hornets deny this. But what a way for the Hawks to make up for one of their biggest draft miscues in history.
Here's a dream scenario: The Hawks deal Smith for Paul, re-sign Johnson and then convince LeBron James to follow Paul, his close friend, to Atlanta. Then the starting line up looks like this: Chris Paul, Joe Johnson, LeBron James, Al Horford and Some Guy Off The Street. Sweet! Wait until that goes viral on the Internet!
Sund is low-keying it for now.
"I like our team," he said.
And this: "I don't talk about hypotheticals."
But don't believe he hasn't thought about them. This off-season is too important not to.

It doesn't matter, the Hawks brass don't want a championship bad enough.

sign and trade Johnson for Chris Paul maybe? throw Bibby in?
June 22nd, 2010
3:37 pm
I think we'd have to get our own Russian billionaire owner before that dream scenario happened. Until then, that Hawks team will only exist in the world of my Xbox360.
June 22nd, 2010
3:39 pm
Agree with the sign and trade Joe for Paul. That was my first reaction when I heard of the Paul trade rumors. If we then got a center, would that allow for Horford, Williams, and Smith to all be on the floor at the same time?
June 22nd, 2010
3:40 pm
Never happen. C. Paul might be an option if we traded J-Smoove and threw in the rights to J-Chill ….. but we don't have the cap room for Lebron,. Plus CLE, just like us, can offer the max (aka kings ransom) for their own FA.
then we still have to develop Marvin Williams or draft a servicable rookie SF, then we also have a gap at the 4.
I know you are just joshing ………
June 22nd, 2010
3:43 pm
At least our writers have some imagination. That's more than the ASG can say about itself. If Jeff's idea could actually work, I say throw in Marvin, the draft pick, and Bibby with Josh Smith. Hell, toss in Larry Drew, as well. With Lebron and Chris Paul and JJ playing together, Schultz and Bradley could tag-team as head coach, and we'd still win 60.
June 22nd, 2010
3:47 pm
Jeff, don't go so fast. Did you say Labron in ATL. ASG must have signed up 4 or 5 of those minority owners they have been talking about last night while I was sleeping. When the dust settles the Hawks will blow it up and start over. Either here or some other town with new ownership. No money and no fans. Tough pair to draw to!

The Hawks have to re-sign Johnson. They aren't gong to get anyone else and then swing a trade for a legit point. Our only hope is that Marvin finally plays up to his potential and Josh becomes a little more consistant. Otherwise, it will have to be blown up. This team was doomed to be mediocre the day we passed on Chris Paul.

I appreciate Sund's every-offseason-is-big ploy, but isn't an offseason where your franchise player is testing the free agency market a little bit bigger than most? Especially when you can't say with confidence that he'll decide to stay?
June 22nd, 2010
4:04 pm
Also, isn't Chris Paul kind of like the nerdy girl who liked you but you overlooked in middle school in favor for the girl who developed early, only to see her turn into a complete knockout in high school while the middle school girl gets knocked up and drops out?
June 22nd, 2010

Yea Josh Smith and J Chill are the Hawks biggest trade nuggets they can get this done if they package in a draft pick as well.

sign and trade joe and teague for CP3
June 22nd, 2010
4:24 pm
somebody saw my last blog cp3 and a resigned joe with all is the perfect core Jeff Schultz please tell me this is possiable
June 22nd, 2010
4:25 pm
Do you even know what the salary cap is? Plus NO won't trade Paul.
Here's a hypothetical that would work though. Josh Smith for Al Jefferson. We get a center who is a legitimate post threat and can move Al over to his natural power forward spot. The contracts are basically the same. Plus the Wolves have been legitimately shopping Jefferson. Additionally should Joe not sign with the Hawks, we can run the offense through Jefferson and not have a huge offensive drop off.
Can I write your column now?
June 22nd, 2010
4:34 pm
At least your scenario is actually plausible. However, I still don't like it. Jefferson is injury prone and would give us another undersized big alongside Horford. Don't really see how that solves much of anything. I credit you for actually pulling something out that makes sense though.
Shultz's scenario is laughable and entirely implausible. You may as well have Joe Fan write columns for the AJC if that is the best he's going to do. At least do some research and come up with something that they may actually have a chance in hell of happening.
My prediction: Joe Johnson leaves. We sign some mid level guy like Ray Allen to take his place. Win about 43 games with Crawford as the lead dog and continue the status quo of this franchise of either being good, mediocre, or piss poor. No reason to think otherwise with this pathetic ownership group and franchise.

4:34 pm
daniel in case u havent been watching sport center the hornets are seriously thinking about it, plus biiby,marvin,evans,and crawford all could be in this puzzle to make this deal work why get al jefferson?horford can do the things he can do and cp3 is a all star point 4 the next 10 yrs horford,joe,and cp3 or jefferson,and al horford hmm do we really have to think about it???
June 22nd, 2010
4:45 pm
While we could trade J-Smoove for Paul probably, I doubt we could sign both Joe and Lebron. Nowhere near enough money from our standpoint to go around.
June 22nd, 2010
4:47 pm
LOVE the idea of bringing Paul in here though.
June 22nd, 2010
4:48 pm
Sell the team to LeBron James. He can be a player owner.
June 22nd, 2010
4:48 pm
i know horford will not be traded, but if they trade jamal crawford in ANY combination to get paul, im officially done with them forever. crawford, outside of horford, is the only hawk that shouldnt be traded. the hawks have NEVER, EVER had a true scorer of crawfords ability come off the bench. he does what he does. trade smith, williams and bibby for paul. keep the draft pick:
pg paul
sg johnson
sf evans or whoever
pf horford
c zaza or whoever
pg teague
sg crawford
sf whoever
pf whoever
c whoever
June 22nd, 2010
4:50 pm
Shultz -fighting over courtside seats requires them to be in short supply, no?
June 22nd, 2010
4:54 pm
NO is not going to trade Paul unless the receiving team takes back Okafor's albatross contract as well. The Hawks are way too cheap to do that and hence have no chance at all. Plus, Smith Williams and Bibby is an awful package from their standpoint. The only way they would take that back is if we had a high pick to offer along with prob top 8(which we don't) AND took back Okafor's contract(which we won't). Therefore, this is not even worthy of discussion.
June 22nd, 2010
4:55 pm
I like the sign and trade of Johnson, but what sucks is reality. Sund sounds like a lethargic/Steady GM (don't get me wrong, he's miles ahead of Knight and Babs-y) and the ownership piece is just too screwed up. If you can get Paul and move some "dead-weight" do it! I still say the key is to sell the club to McDavid per the original plan. Or find another crazy Russian Billionaire, have Zaza suck up to him. Wait, that's Georgia Vs. Russia, nevermind.
June 22nd, 2010
4:57 pm
they coul trade crawford,za za, and the rights to j chills rights or even possiable put josh in the mix instead of za za that would cover paul and okafors contracts thats worth discussion
June 22nd, 2010
4:58 pm
Not to mention the fact that the Hornets already have an all star PF in David West, who makes less money than Josh Smith. So why would they want Josh?
No on Jefferson. He makes too much money, his knees are still a concern, and he is not a good defensive player.
June 22nd, 2010
4:59 pm
LC – who is Smith Williams? Is he any good?
June 22nd, 2010
4:59 pm
paul AINT ALL THAT. come on now, smith, william and bibby OR a draft pick is pieces that new orleans can use. hell, it wouldnt shock me if they asked for teague in a package.
June 22nd, 2010
5:01 pm
Since Jeff posted the Slam cover, I will provide the link to Zaza Pachulia's version. It is much better.
I can't take credit for it, as I saw it the first time someone posted this cover as a blog picture. Check it out, it's funny.
June 22nd, 2010
5:03 pm
Love you Jeff but bless your heart you still have no clue. See, there's this thing called the salary cap…
June 22nd, 2010
5:05 pm
Haha, "Zaza Pachulia want a ring… Now!" That sounds like something he'd say.
June 22nd, 2010
5:17 pm
moorman, Paul is in fact greater than or equal to "all that."
Paul = Three all-star appearances, two All-NBA teams, two All-NBA defensive teams, ROY in 2006, gold medal in 2008 and 108 consecutive games with at least one steal, the most in NBA history.
Smith + Williams + Bibby = 0 All-star appearances, one All-defensive second team (Smith, 2010) and one Slam Dunk champion (Smith, 2005). Probably the most impressive superlative between the three is that Bibby is the last active NBA player to have played for the Vancouver Grizzlies.
June 22nd, 2010
5:19 pm
Teague/ resigned Chillz for Collison/ Posey is about the best I think we could get outta NO. they ain't trading CP3 for anything on the Hawks roster.
June 22nd, 2010
5:19 pm
I have been watching sports center, and that's how I know that several teams have attempted to trade for Paul but that the Hornets have rejected all offers. Further this is from Yahoo, "Bower hasn't made calls offering Paul, sources said, nor do the Hornets plan to initiate conversations on him." ESPN is merely throwing it all out there to get fan bases (such as ourselves) excited and give sports writers (such as Schultz) something to write about. Paul is not going to be traded.
Now how about some trade scenarios that would bring back a SG to potentially replace Joe or a center? Iguodala anyone?
June 22nd, 2010
5:20 pm
I've lived in Atlanta for 36 years and I've only seen a Hawks organization committed to making the playoff and the NBA Championship and Hubie Brown was the coach.
It was probably more about Hubie than ownership.
June 22nd, 2010
5:23 pm
Where's the basketball writer at?
June 22nd, 2010
5:30 pm
This is what's most likely going to be the starting lineup PG TEAGUE, SG JJ, SF WILLIAMS/SMITH(if we draft a center) PF HORFORD/SMITH (depending on above statement) C HORFORD/DRAFT PICK the ownership is to ignorant to make any big moves except sign JJ another medicore year pisses me off!!!
June 22nd, 2010
5:48 pm
Daniel i agree u have a valid point but the fact that they feel great about there back up point and there owner is finacially strapped makes a lil fire to all this smoke never said it was gone happen just wondered if possiable and maybe how, and Igodala a good fit at shooting guard but that makes to much since for the spirt too do that look for theam to go after ray allen if jj departs
June 22nd, 2010
5:52 pm
Everywhere I look, there are people suggesting that we replace Al Horford at center…with another 6′10″ guy.
Too funny. First it was Amare Stoudamire. Then Emeka Okafor. Then Al Jefferson. Please…stop the madness. Jefferson and Stoudamire don't even want to play center (Amare refuses), and Okafor is not better than Horford.
June 22nd, 2010
5:55 pm
And no, we don't need a 35 year old SG to replace our 28 year old one if he bolts.
And no, we aren't getting Lebron. Not now, not ever. EVER.
We had our shot at CP3, but between Billy and Woody, they FUBAR-ed it up, and then did even worse the next year in Shelden Williams…
June 22nd, 2010
5:57 pm
A couple of things are wrong with this picture. Josh Smith had a built in no-trade clause for the first 2 years or the Hawks would have to pay him 5 million to deal him. We know the Spirit is cheap and will not pay that bill. Second problem even if you could pull off Smith for Paul LeBron would still be a long shot because of cap concerns ultimately you would have to dump 18 Million in Payroll (Bibby, Williams (who has the same trade clause as Smith) and Crawford. Why would Cleveland be a willing participate to take Bibby for 2 years and Crawford for 1?

The incident Tuesday was the latest flare-up in an increasingly tense dispute between the Boston Police Department and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation over the use of civilian flaggers at city construction sites overseen by the state.
State officials say they want to use civilian flaggers, allowed under a new state law, to save money; police in Boston and elsewhere, who can earn huge amounts of money working at construction sites, have argued that public safety is better served by having officers, rather than civilians, working the jobs.Read more »

Air Jordan XX3 "Chicago" – Michael Jordan Autographed Pair on eBay
March 17th, 2014 by John Kim | 1 comment
The Air Jordan XX3 was bound to be a legendary model any way you sliced it. Jordan Brand pulled out all the stops with super limited pairs like the "Titanium" and the "Finale" and the silhouette stands as one of the strongest from the last decade of new designs from MJ's eponymous company. This find isn't one of those aforementioned super limited ones, but it's a treasure nonetheless given that Michael's scrawl blesses the shoes. Continue reading to see extra images on this XX3 that's been autographed and then bid on them from worldofstarsplus on eBay.

Business Ideas in the News / November 16, 2011
As part of the Dwyer Group's recent pledge to hire 300 veterans, Glass Doctor president Mark Dawson says the company plans to hire 50 veterans throughout the company's 200 franchises by 2014.
The Dwyer Group's pledge was announced last week as part of the International Franchise Association's (IFA) Operation Enduring Opportunity program. First lady Michelle Obama and Dina Dwyer-Owens, chief executive officer and chairwoman of The Dwyer Group, announced the launch of the program on Veterans Day, November 11. As part of the program, the IFA's more than 825,000 franchise establishments have committed to hire and recruit 75,000 veterans and 5,000 wounded warriors by 2014.
Operation Enduring Opportunity is being conducted in conjunction with IFA's VetFran program, developed in 1991 by Don Dwyer Sr., the late founder of The Dwyer Group. The program was created with the goal of thanking veterans returning from the first Gulf War by offering them financial incentives, Dawson says. "VetFran includes 428 franchise systems, including Glass Doctor, [which] voluntarily offer financial incentives to veterans seeking to become franchise small-business owners," he says. "The Dwyer Group and Glass Doctor will utilize the Joining Forces Veterans Job Bank, a new search enhancement tool to enable franchise recruiting and hiring operations. The franchising companies will also utilize veteran job fairs and other more traditional hiring methods."

How do we achieve gender equality?
I was look at a question on TED earlier today about the violent transfer of power, it turned into a debate about gender equality. So I decided to make a conversation where that actually fits. My questions are: What is gender equality? What do we need to do to reach gender equality? How will we reach it? I hope this generates some interesting ideas, answers, and discussions.
Closing Statement from Erin Tuncan
Thank you all for your opinions and comments! I think we all learned something. There still isn't an answer yet, not that I expected there to be, but I believe that talks, like this one, are going to lead to the answer or answers. I may open this question again, so keep an eye out! Thanks again!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 14 2012: I believe that we need fairer treatment related to gender. To a woman a treatment relative to her gender, and a man a treatment related to his. On the material plan or career related matters, we do need to admit there a big gap to feel in order to bring justice to the feminine gender. What we need is to give the right values to our children since their childhood, so they have in value respect for human capacity, whether we are men or women.
Therefor, we should not be mixing up unjustice caused to women with natural and sensual habits of co-existing together: habits like "galantery" and "chevalery" that put a little spice in our everyday life... a woman should feel ashamed of showing tenderness or any other good caring showing her sensual nature.
I believe rather in "Equity" than "Equality", because we all are different in all points of view, even within the same gender. So let's develop more the question "equity" which calls more for justice to each individual in our society in consideration of his qualities and weaknesses.

iMatte v5 HD - The Apotheose [FREE]
iMatte v5 HD is now live in Cydia!
Thanks to everyone that participated to the public test! You guys have been great!
Go get your copy now! Search for iMatte v5!
Note: A reminder, if you choose the pseudo package everything, it will install everything. So it will install the lockinfo theme, which installs lockinfo as well. So if you aren't using lockinfo, or some extensions themed by iMatte, I suggest you choose your package manually.
Otherwise when you will uninstall lockinfo, it will also uninstall the lockinfo themes, which will also uninstall the everything pseudo.. so..
Upgrade from the public test
If you had the big deb installed, uninstall it, and install the packages you want (or everything package).
If you had the split versions in many debs, you can update on top. Bare in mind, the configureMe.js will be overwritten, and you will need to reconfig the widgets.
Do not save your configureMe.js and replace, because I added some variables in some files, and you would be missing them by recopying your configuration on top. Therefore the widget wouldn't work.
Hey guys,
After almost a year break, I'm back and proud to introduce you the first real version of iMatte for HD devices!
It is in final beta testing stage. Needing testers to test what is going to be the final package, and then I can release it to you all.
I won't bore you with the massive text that is about to follow first, instead, let see some screenshots
Ok, now that you have seen it, here is the boring part:
You can safely make a paypal donation by clicking here.
iMatte v5 HD will certainly be a theme remembered for a long time. There is 4 months (full-time, all day long work, I don't have a real job at the moment) in the making. I first made a complete version, with ColorKeyboard, SBSettings, etc, was going to do all the extensions I support, then I realized it wasn't up to my expectations.
I then threw everything I had to the garbage bin, and restarted from scratch, and here is the result.
My initial distribution model, since I have no more website, was to go with Cydia and Theme It, and offer it to you for a 2.99$ fee.
But I'm choosing instead to offer it free to you. I'm so confident that you will appreciate the huge amount of time and efforts that went into this, that you will donate a little something, if you can!
iMatte has reached a point where I can say that I'm proud of what it looks like, and the look of it won't change no more. It has come to conclusion. I will keep it up to date, and do requests (upon donation).
I wish to thank the people who have donated for iMatte, you are the people that made iMatte v5 possible.
I personally thank the following people: @Zooropalg, @FabriceGeib, @fifty, @invalididentity, @XPPrem, @Schmilk, @Paradox_v1, @orlandophoenix, @Zuxicovp, You know why From general advice, to moral support, inspiration, comments on twitter, donations, and parts for a broken computer, you are important people to me. Many thanks.
Special thanks to Tji Sousa for coming up with iOSCreations.
Technically, you can run iMatte v5 HD without any extra extension, that is beside Winterboard and it's dependencies.
For optimal use, I highly suggest you install the following extensions:
(free) Wallpaper JPEGifier, this one is actually a necessity if you want to be able to easily change the wallpaper used for the springboard html layouts
(free) WeatherIcon, this one is only needed if you want to use the Native Weather Springboard or Lockscreen theme
(free) Bytafont, if you want to use the default font bundled with iMatte, or any other fonts
(free) Zeppelin, if you want to change the Carrier Icon/Name to the custom iMatte logo or something else
(paid) Gridlock, if you don't want to deal with iBlanks and make nice layouts with the PerpageHTML+ widgets, this is highly recommended
(paid) PerpageHTML+, again, this is only if you want to use the many widgets that are made to customize your springboard beyond what Winterboard can do
(paid) ColorKeyboard, if you want to have the iOS keyboard themed, this is needed
With those tweak installed, you will be able to get iMatte exactly as you see it in screenshots. Well, if you see a screenshots with MusicBarExtended, you will need MBEx... but you get what I mean.
Package Summary:
-Fully themed stock iOS UI
-Full Siri theme with most of the assistants themed
-Full notification center theme
-Static springboard/lockscreen theme
-Native weather springboard/lockscreen theme (original by Subywrex, modded by me)
-Springboard slideshow
-Many handmade wallpapers + lots of hand-picked pictures for slideshows
-Customized ColorKeyboard theme with Siri support
-SBSettings theme with 37 toggles
-Full Intelliscreen (with QuickSettings) and LockInfo theme
-Auto-generating icons for AppStore apps, and lots of icons for Cydia apps included.
-Custom loading screens for all stock iOS apps, + a few Cydia/AppStore one as well. (loading screens generator script included to take care of the remaining applications that doesn't have a custom loading screens, will use a generic one)
-Lots of paid and free Cydia tweaks's settings icon done
-Customized fonts included (Fully ported Neutraface for iOS5, with bold, italic and italic bold)
-PSDs included for icons, loading screens and overlays.
The following Cydia tweaks are also themed:
-Deck *
-Folder Enhancer
-Firewall IP *
-Move2Unlock *
-SnowCover 4
-Twitkafly *
(* requires you to install them manually with iFile (or WinSCP or the like), as they cannot be themed with Winterboard. This mean you must overwrite original files, and redo everytime you update the app. Sorry for inconvenience, not my fault.)
The following AppStore apps are themed:
The new, free, messaging Cydia app, Handcent SMS is also themed as well.
Lots of PerPageHTML+ widgets to further customize your springboard.
Probably forgetting few things, and you can also expect some more with updates and requests as well.

Many thanks you guys! I will tell you in all honesty, that I never really like posting on forums, as I deal with haters very bad... Not that I get into forums fights, I don't really reply to them, but it still gets to me, and ruin the rest of my day.
So I posted this a bit before going to sleep yesterday, and I had an awful night :P Didn't sleep well, and thought I would wake up to some haters posting on this thread. But to my surprise, there is none!
I would also like to thank everyone that have donated so far, it means much to me. First, you like what I did, and second, you trust me, even tho it's not yet released.
As I said, I must have what is going to be my final package tested, and if it all goes well, release will be in the following days... so anywhere till next week-end is possible.
I have a question for you guys... what do you prefer? A single big package that includes it all, or everything broken down into individual packages? I, for one, prefer a single package where everything is installed at once.. but would like your input for making the final package(s).
If I go the multiple packages way, I thought about creating a stub package that would install it all. What do you think?
Many thanks again, you all made my day!
You all have a great week-end!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"There was not an option for me to change the date for them to be returned to me. It's usually two weeks prior, now some may not reply due to the date. It may have been my mistake if so I apologize. Other than that in happy."
"This product was crafted beautifully. I requested that the color of the card to be changed to white and the lettering to be in orange. When I received the card it was just what I asked for. My order also got here before the actual date listed which was great for me. Overall the quality of the card was great and I would definitely recommend it to others."
"WPD was open to customizing this RSVP card to our needs. I changed the wording around for the actual RSVP part and the designer got it right the first time around. They turned out perfect."
"These RSVP cards are cute and, although they have a white background that don't exactly match the cream background on the invite, they look good together anyway."
"Love this design! I first got a sample of this in the pearl finish but it was hard to write on it. So I got the matte finish which isn't as nice as the pearl but at least the guests will be able to write on it without difficulty."
