Featured Artists of the Month - Interviews
Featured Artist of December - :iconHMFS: Miguel-Santos
1. Tell us something about =HMFS, the photographer?
:iconHMFS: My love for photography is a classic tale of a kid finding beautiful vintage family photos and then wondering how they were done. Growing up in the 80s – when film was still cheaper than digital – I felt there was some magic to it. Later I learned that magic was called 'art' and anyone could have a go at it. It became my favourite hobby and working on graphics design and marketing has given me the opportunity to spend more time developing my

Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.
Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready.
"The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.

Door creaks and girl farts: computing in the real world
CD From Home?
95% of the lUsers I have dealt with couldn't burn files to CD's if you explained it a billion times.
Windows 8: Not even Microsoft thinks businesses will use it
Re: Didn't this happen with Windows 95?
Only Windows 95 wasn't reducing an expensive computer into basically a phone.
The only way that it may drive users to Linux/OS X is when people decide that they don't like the look of 8 and wonder what else is actually out there. It might be like that scene in The Simpsons when all the kids go outside and play when the Cable is out.
US broadband seeks ISP speed stickers
But they are not advertising Broadband + Telephone line now are they?
Broadband is a feature added to the top of a telephone line. It's like complaining you bought a washing machine, but the price didn't include the electricity to run it. Or buying a car on finance and complaining the cost doesn't include fuel. It's not misleading at all, it assumes that you live at least in the 20th century and have a phone line.
Having this sticker is a stupid idea. It's nothing to do with the ISP what the speed is, it's the geographical location of their customers that rule the speed.
If you choose a provider with higher speeds, all it means is that their customers generally live closer to the telephone exchange.
That is the daftest thing I've ever heard.
They are not advertising Broadband + Telephone Line for £7 a month. Broadband is a feature that goes on top of a telephone line. They are assuming that you at least live in the 20th century and have a telephone line already.
Anyway, back to the land of people with multiple braincells.
This stickering idea is not properly thought through. All the average speed rating means is that ISP's customers live closer to the telephone exchange. More people out in the sticks are going to sign up to that ISP, lowering the average, causing the non clued up people to complain.

Android to overtake iPhone in 2012 - analyst
Look at all the apple sympathisers defending their poor choice of phones!
Windows Mobile unfortunatly is dead. At least until 8 comes out.
HTC have made a good stab of making the latest 6.5 useable, although the previous WM incarnations weren't that bad either. Depends what you want to do with the phone, Productivity or Pose.
I've left my WM ways behind for now, as the OS feels a little dated on modern hardware. I've jumped to Android, and I can say it's the best OS i've ever used on a phone.
iPhones are like your typical model, pretty but not much up top.

I'm a certified energy auditor with over 30 years in contracting. I have yet to find a photo-voltaic installation with under a 30 year payback. Solar hot water may make a 15 or 20 year payback, but that is out the window with the cost of natural gas backup going down. There is only one product "Solarwall" out of Canada that has a legitamite payback of under 15 years. The application is often hard to find, but when it does it works great. Even then we can't always find the right application. We haven't really tapped the envergy conservation market. Most energy upgrades have 20 year or longer expected life and therefore can't be amortized very quickly. A real problem for commercial building owners.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have added injury to insult as Shaun Suisham injured hamstring could keep him out up to 3 weeks. Suisham's injury was just one of several that the Steelers endured on the day in their 16-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The worse by far was the season ending injury to center Maurkice Pouncey. Pouncey is one of the best offensive linemen in the game and will be very difficult to replace.
Replacing Suisham may prove to be a little easier as there are still some veteran kickers that are looking for a job. Mike Garafolo pegs former Cincinnati Bengals kicker Shayne Graham as a possible temporary replacement on the special teams unit. I am sure that Graham would relish the opportunity to come to a rival of the team that cut him and be in a position to possibly do some damage when they play said team in next weeks game.
Steelers K Shaun Suisham's hamstring injury could keep him out a few weeks. Veteran Shayne Graham a possibility to replace him.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) September 9, 2013
You have to figure that it would give Graham extra motivation and possibly one more way for the Steelers to send a Psychological jab Cincinnati's way.

Our good friends at StubHub have offered up two free tickets to tonight's contest between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat.
To enter simply email me at the roundballminingco address above and to the right of this post and tell me why you want to go to the game in 40 words or less. I will place the entrants in a hat and pick one. The winner will have their reason why they want to go posted on the site here so keep it clean and try to be a little more creative than, "I want t win free tickets to a Nuggets game." If there are any other really good ones I will post them as well.
The cutoff time for entries will be 4:00 PM mountain time and in case you were wondering the game is tonight, but it is a late 8:30 PM start due to the fact it is the second of a TNT doubleheader.
The winner will be notified by email soon after the deadline so please do not email me asking if you won.
Good luck to everyone and thank you to StubHub for the tickets!
Update: Congratulations to Brian Lynch for winning the tickets and thanks to everyone who entered. Here is the reason why Brian wanted to go to the game:
1. Talk to Lebron and show him the correct way to use Twitter.
2. Wear My Melo Jersey one last time before I throw it away.
3. Root on the Nuggets in what could be there last meaningful game for years.
I will post some more of the better entries later on.
The good people at StubHub have provided two tickets in Section 124 Row AA, (that is courtside people!) for the Denver Nuggets game against the Los Angeles Clippers this Friday, November 5. This is your chance to see Blake Griffin on his first trip to the Pepsi Center from the expensive seats! Chris Kaman's facial hair will be there as well. To enter you must follow RMC on Twitter and tweet me, @RoundballMiner, the answer to the following question:
What Denver Nugget scored nine points in nine seconds on three consecutive three point shots in the final minute of a game?
You must have your responses to me by 6:00 PM Mountain time on Thursday, November 4. I will then put all the correct responses into a hat and my daughter will draw the winning Twitter account out of said hat.
Roundball Mining Company and StubHub are not responsible for lost or misdirected tweets or other technical issues that are beyond the control of RMC. Every Twitter account can only qualify for the drawing once. Repeated tweets from the same account will result in disqualification. The winner will be notified via Twitter Thursday night and must claim the tickets from a StubHub representative at least 15 minutes prior to the game.
I would like to thank StubHub for generously donating the tickets for this contest. You can purchase tickets for any Denver Nuggets game from StubHub.

Florida should ban the import and sale of exotic pets
A reader's response to a Florida newspaper article on an escaped monitor lizard calls for state legislation to ban the import and sale of exotic "pets." She says, "Raising animals in captivity does not make them tame. These are not domesticated animals; they are wild animals who belong in their natural habitat. Wild animals in captivity represent a public-safety risk, a health risk and a welfare concern for the animals." Her sentiments are wholly consistent with API's Exotic "Pets" campaign.
No room for exotics

It's not at all difficult to gain new, targeted traffic to your website by guest blogging. There is definitely merit in the traditional methods like PPC and SEO but it would be a mistake to overlook the potential value of guest blogging. You can get thousands of hits to your own site by making just one well thought out post on a high traffic niche-related blog.
The great news is that there are plenty of opportunities available to guest blog in most of the popular niches. The main thing you should be focused on is creating high quality content that readers are likely to enjoy.
Hopefully when you do write your own blog posts, they are excellent quality and so should your guest blog posts. All the usual elements that comprise a top quality article/post such as relevant facts, well written, logical and smoothly flowing. If you're writing the post about a controversial topic, then make sure you get the facts right. No reputed blogger will want to publish articles that are defamatory in nature, nor will they like posts that talk about rumors or inappropriate information without proper references.
Once your blog post gets published and goes live, your job is not done. What you need to do is be active in the comments section and talk to people. You do want to make a good impression on the community, and so try all you can to maintain a flow of comments, etc. You are positioning yourself in the market, and all of that will help to create a strong position for you. You can contribute to your own cause by bookmarking the site and commenting on your Facebook page, etc. So it will not hurt at all to promote the guest posts.
If you guest blog on establish blogs, be prepared for a different kind of comments from well-read readers. No matter what anybody says, it is important that your replies are well thought out and properly constructed. Have fun with it and enjoy talking to them, and you will be surprised at how that attitude will rub off with people. Most of the time, people will just appreciate your targeted knowledge, even if they are being critical.
There are few methods of doing business online that work like guest blogging where you can watch the results roll right on in. It's important that you be consistent in your efforts. It will take you some time before you're able to get your content published on a high traffic blog, but until then you need to keep writing posts for various blogs. Make an effort to build a relationship with the blog owner after you find a blog that gives you a decent return on your investment. After this you'll have no trouble including guest blogging as part of your marketing effort for driving traffic.

Not sure how I will cap my excitement about this VP choice, but I'll just have to try. My employers are conservative, but you never know what your patients views are and I don't want to piss one of them off…bad news for future business.
So let me just do this now.

Okay, everybody knows Cleveland just about can't be beaten at home. Their lone loss there this season pretty much says it all. So a loss here, though not something you want to concede midway through the second quarter, is not something that would come as a completely unexpected occurrence.
But looking totally out of joint? Reverting back to a stagnant offensive approach that has rarely worked and had nothing to do with a 7-game winning streak? This is a surprise….or is it?
The Cleveland Cavaliers are arguably the NBA's best team now, with arguably the NBA's best player. They also have a very tough defense that is hands on ALL THE TIME. They're not just tough, they're smart. By baiting Josh Smith into 3 fouls (having to keep up with Lebron being the main reason why) , the Cavs have taken away one of the Hawks' biggest offensive weapons. But this isn't about the game against the Cavs, or the Cavs in general. This is about what happens when the Hawks are missing key players in their game. And how they will/can react to it. Unless they slip down to the 7th or 8th seed (unlikely) the Hawks will not be facing Lebron and his crew in the first round. No, this is about the teams most likely to meet the Hawks in the playoffs. Believe me, teams like Miami, Philly, and Detroit are watching games like this for clues on how the Hawks can be beaten. After all, they're going to need it.
Offensive sets should be taught as part of a system. Of course, starters are starters for a reason, and bench players are on the bench for the same. But any NBA player should be able to set screens in certain areas. And on a team like the Hawks, athleticism is neither rare nor sparse in supply. And certain plays which are the staple of a team's offense should be run by bench counterparts as well as starters. For example, if you can throw a lob to Josh Smith, then surely you can do so for backup forward Solomon Jones. Of course, to take advantage of this, Jones has to get into the game when Josh Smith is out. In similar thinking, a perimeter shooter on the bench (ex: Gardner)should be able to come off of a screen for an open look at the basket in much the same way that a starter does (ex: Bibby).
Such execution will be very important in the playoffs, especially when starting players are either missing, injured or in foul trouble. And make no mistake, all three can happen. Possibly the most certain is foul trouble as opposing teams and their coaches will be devising ways to keep certain players out of the game. Nobody wants to face a determined Al Horford on either end of the court. Nobody wants to see Joe Johnson on a mission. And EVERYBODY fears and energized Josh Smith. So often, the plan will be to take one or both of our young frontcourt players out of the game, leaving Joe to do the bulk of the work by himself (though Flip will be around to help, it's not the same). After all, have the Hawks got what it takes to interchange parts and continue to execute the greater part of the game plan?
Which brings me to my second thought. In the playoffs, rotations shorten, but a coach needs his options. Some people point to a series of wins (including a 7 game homestand in which the Hawks remained unbeaten) as a reason to believe that Marvin Williams is entirely disposable. Ask Mike Woodson is he thinks so. It may be easy to point towards Marvin's stats and say that he has not improved. But to do so and ignore the decreased stats of Josh Smith is to not recognize the real reasons for it. The fact is, the addition of Mike Bibby has produced far more shots (and more points) from the point guard position than any of the pgs collectively in the past 4 years. Add to that the fact that Joe's number of shots haven't changed and Flip Murray has become a big part of the offense and you have an answer. The Hawks have spent much of the season scoring from the perimeter before finally involving their dynamic frontcourt in the fun.
Marvin Williams has become a legitimate 3-point threat, a steady defender, and a decent rebounder from the small forward position. When either Smith or Horford have been out of the game, Williams has quite often been moved to the power forward position (due to his weight, height, length, and strength) to compensate. Marvin is harder to push around or get past. So when Mike Woodson looks to his bench for somebody with size and versatility, who does he see? Mo Evans? Solomon Jones? Who among these guys on the bench has or can give you a 25-30 point/6-10 rebound performance, while effectively guarding the opposing team's small or power forward? Who can give you this on a night Josh has 3 fouls in the second half, Horford is being fronted by a 7-footer, and Joe can't buy a bucket because he can't get away from double teams? You won't need the entire Jeopardy song to figure it out. You know Marvin is needed. Just ask his coaches and teammates.
So back to the first point. How will the Hawks react and adjust to the inevitable schemes that will be thrown at us in the playoffs, particularly when a starter or two is out of the action? What are some good ideas? Do the Hawks have what it takes on their bench to survive and maintain when the going gets tough?
And did y'all see Mario West on Lebron (on both plays) at the end of the 2nd half? You can't tell me this guy can't be used on a regular basis. He is a guided missile, waiting for release….

Great Post Ray,
I posted this a few blogs ago about Marvin but no one seemed to pay it any attention:
"You have to sacrifice numbers for wins. Look at the Celtics, you don't see Ray Allen averaging 26ppg game like he was a few years ago…..the same goes for Pierce and Garnett as well. Career lows for all of them as far as numbers are concerned(But they WIN all the time and they all have rings now). They find the open man and play team oriented ball no ego involved."
"David Lee puts up those numbers on a team 13 games under .500 there is a big difference. Like B-Roy dropping 29 on us the other night but they still lost by 18. Getting your numbers when your team is down by 20 points already doesn't mean anything. Your opponent isn't worried about you scoring because they know 1) The game is already over 2) You can't stop them from coming back and scoring on you 2) If the game was in jeopardy they would shut you down."
"That's why players put up big numbers on scrub squads."
"Marvin plays team ball. Joe Averaged 25ppg during the 06-07 season and we were still only fighting for the 8th seed before he went down with that calf injury. He's not putting that up now but his assists are up and we're WINNING more. Why do you think players accused of being offensively selfish like Steve Francis, Antione Walker and Stephon Marbury are always being shipped out of whatever team they are on…….usually because their selfish play results in a loosing effort."
"Like I said before, it's a TEAM sport, and Marvin is doing what was asked of him and what is necessary for the success of this team.……Most of the players' numbers are down from last season…..but we have already won 2 more games than we did last season and we have like 15 more games to go…….If we can avoid five more losses we will hit the 50 mark."

Haha – I was wondering why you were quiet for most of the game! I guess when you get a blog of your own on which to broadcast your thoughts, there's no need to talk to us unwashed masses anymore .
I agree with almost all your points (surprise!). We need to come up with a balanced rotation where we bring in the "closest equivalent" off the bench of the player who goes out. We already do that with Marvin-Mo and Horford-Zaza. I agree that we need to work in Josh-Solo. But then you've got guys like Flip, Mario, Acie who don't have any "starter equivalents" but who are potentially are three strongest players to bring off the bench. Flip is a combo guard who can attack the rim fearlessly and score in bunches. Acie is a big, defensively solid, drive-and-dish point guard who can also knock down the open jumper. Mario is an energy-and-hustle player who crashes the boards and gets after people on D like no other. Both Mario and Acie can be used to take the pressure off of our other perimeter players defensively and drain the energy of our opponents – which allows JJ to do his thing on offense. This is all a long way of saying that using bench players to give opponents a "different look" and disrupt their rhythm is just as important as spelling starters with bench players who have similar skill sets. I know that you know that (you've said that very thing before) – I just figured it was worth saying out loud.
And the last sentence of your post sounds wrong in so many ways. Haha.

now that i am thinking about it, it's kind of funny that we ended their 11-game winning streak at our home, and now they ended our 7-game winning streak at their home, if we do face them in the playoffs, it will be really tough, i did like flip's energy and hustle at the end, just shows we don't back down from anybody

The hawks have to run the offense through josh & al if we think we are going to beat a quality team like cleveland or any other team on that level we have to stay away from all the jump shots and josh cant guard lebron especially if the refs call a tight game josh does not have the lateral quickness to keep up with lebron- it has to be Mo or Joe you cant let mo-will, lebron and big z have good games more times than not you will not win. Lets go hawks

Winning on the road against good teams requires a level of mental toughness, discipline and experience that this young Hawks team has yet to acquire. Good teams become great when they overcome this next to the last hurdle on the road to winning a championship. This year's playoff experience will be beneficial to the future development.
I think we can agree that last year's surprising playoff performance against Boston was a major reason Woodson was retained. Would a surprising first round exit against Miami be a major reason for his dismissal; especially in light of Sekou Smith's recent article detailing Coach Woodson's relationship with certain current or former players(Josh Smith, Mike Bibby, et.al)or has he already done enough to insure his return, with a long-term contract to boot?

I know everybody likes to talk offense,but the Hawks willo only go as far as their defense take them.When they are playing good "d",they seem to flow better and Josh and Al seem to be more involved.Woody don't seem to realize what that little dynamo from GT does for the TEAM when he gets playing time early.He stays with Bibby too long sometime when his shot is awol.I miss Marvin because he brings it on defense and on offense and we haven't really found one player that brings what he brings.Like I have stated in the past,we really miss CHILLS.Woody please expand the rotation and don't go back to small rotation.This next homestand can get ugly if we don't MANUP.Woody we need you…….

Lebron didn't really go off again, but Cleveland has a balanced offense, and they haven't loss but one time at home. No Marvin and Lebron scored less points than when he was guarding him last game Sautee. We would have lost by 30 with Marvin.

I've been quiet for way too long y'all. A belated congrats to the new blogcasters. And the answer is!!!(Drum Roll Please) Marvin on a Lebron type player keeps the game closer. He's an offensive threat himself, and Josh; while athletic enuff, can't guard out on the perimeter. The keys to the playoffs believe it or not are Mario & Acie. 7th and 8th off the bench respectively. We need someone like Mario to keep harrassing their 1st & 2cd option scorers(Lebron, Mo Will, Brandon Roy, ya-da-ya-da-ya-da), and it's time to pace PG with PG, let's face it, Bibby is running out, and has just so-so D. The moral of the story is: Hell yeah! We miss Marvin. And Woody; while you're steady on the improvements(and I'm pulling for ya')put away that coaching 101 book, and use the rotation the way it should be used. "MAN EVERYBODY SEE'S IT BUT YOU" C'mon" Beuller! Beuller!

Sam, All I'm going to say is that that the amount of FG attempts Marvin has when he scores 27-30+ is a lot higher than when he only scores 14…….
But usually whenever Marvin scores between 18-23pppg he's usually NOT doing it on that many attempts which usually means he's been the most efficient player on the floor that night……

Sam, now you know darn well, Mo can't create for himself off the dribble that well. He is a below average finisher at the rim,with or without contact, and to top it all off he doesn't draw nearly enough fouls to justify him missing those close-range shots like Marvin does. I love mo's game and what he brings to the team…..but his fifteen points had no effect on LeBron whatsoever. When MARVIN was scoring his buckets against Cleveland, LeBron had NO CHOICE but to foul Marvin. Mo is a complementary player, and Marvin's actions put pressure on the opposing teams defense, and he's also a solid defender who can arguably guard up to four positions as opposed to mo's2 0r three positions.
March 22nd, 2009

Sam, LeBron scored less because THE GAME WAS OVER AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER. He didn't even play in the 4th quarter…..

Keep fighting the good fight. I always have to say: ask Marvin's coaches and teammates if they think they're better off without him. Ask Josh Smith, who is one of Marvin's biggest cheerleaders. But hey, they couldn't possibly know anything, right?
I wonder how many other NBA teams feel like Marvin's worth nothing. I guess that means he can't be traded, since he has no value. Heh…
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Law on their young'un.

i imagine that samuel is saying to himself that we are really stupid and woody has played his best card by not showing his best effort against a team that truly thinks it is superior until we meet thm in the second round. he is saving his best card to "steal" one. woody is crafty that way just like he played the josh card to get the team to go on a 7 game run at home.

It all comes down to Woody. If he can see the value of Mario and Acie. That is it in a nutshell. Most people feel (me included) that Woody has not been wise in the use of his bench. He has been pathologically stubborn in regards to any change to his gameplan which was probably written in stone before the season began. At times he has been forced to play his bench, resulting in brief glimpses of what these Hawks could be. I hope I am wrong bit I just don't think Woody will ALLOW these Hawks to succeed.

Big Ray,
Great article. I see all my posting has not gone in vein. But, you know I have to disagree. First this Marvin three point thing. Again Mo evans shoots a higher percentage from 3 than Marvin. Look at the numbers. Oh, but then you guys will say numbers don't matter. I am not saying that we don't need Marvin. I am telling you that he is the most replaceable person in our starting lineup. I personally think he should come off of the bench, but that is another argument. He is not a great defender. I don't know when this myth started, but that is not a true statement. He can not guard the 4 position. Any legitimate 4 in the league's eyes light up when they see him guarding him. There is a reason he never guarded KG in the playoffs last year. It was either Josh or Horford. He has improved his rebounding but all of his other numbers are the same or worse. Oh, I forgot the numbers don't mean anything. Another myth is that he can create his own shot. I really have to question your basketball knowledge if you make that statement. He is a stand still jump shooter, who can drive, but he always goes one way, and he can't finish. His handles are very suspect. When have you ever seen him cross someone up, change directions and finish at the rim? You state he plays great defense, but he has not contained any great player this year. Oh, I forgot, stats don't matter. Lebron scored the least amount of points against us this year without him, but I forgot the stats don't matter. If you are going to argue a point, you have to post some sort of evidence to prove your point. When evidence is posted you say it does not matter. His other teamates treat him like what he is, the 5th or 6th best player on the team. My views on Marvin Williams are not based on what I have seen this year only. It is based on the first day he became a Hawk, to now. Based on what I have seen over 3 years, plus his draft position (I know draft position does not matter (LOL)), I do not feel that we should pay him the money he will want this offseason. Simple as that. He can be replaced. He will not be a star is this league, for us or any other NBA team. My opinion, and I'm sticking with it. If you don't agree, post something substantial that proves your point. Simple as that. Big Ray, I have some other topics that can stir up the pot you as well. Get at me.

Rod – I think that many 4's & 5's in this league get excited when they play the Hawks. Neither Marvin or Josh can handle a legit 4 by themselves. The Hawks must play good "team" defense to win. That's the benefit of having Marvin, Josh & Al on our frontline.
When you replace Marvin with Mo – our team defense will suffer against larger teams (Cleveland, Orlando, Boston) & that's who we can't beat. When we are playing smaller teams I like having Mo in the starting lineup. Unfortunately we won't be facing teams like that after the 1st round.
March 23rd, 2009
7:25 pm
We always shoot a higher percentage when we go inside. So why do we start all games with jacking jumpers from the outside. Once we get down 10 we get a sence of urgency and start driving which translates to better defense. It boggles my frigging mind why Woody dosent force an inside out game.
March 24th, 2009

How about this stat, moron. LeBron scored 12 of his 26 points against the Hawks on March 1 in a run while Marvin was on the bench. With Marvin in the game, he shot 4 of 15 from the floor and scored just 14 points. And some of those were off on-ball switches after a pick. For the 35 minutes he was on the floor, he played the most effective defense LeBron has probably seen all season. Watch the damned game or at LEAST check the play-by-play before you make another RETARDED statement.
And you're criticizing our starting 3 by saying "he's never asked to guard the opposing team's 4?" REALLY?!? And didn't someone ever tell you that getting to the line IS creating your own shot?!? My GOD, how RETARDED ARE YOU?!?
Go back to your "No comment" post. That was the only smart thing you've ever said.

That is probably the dumbest stat I have ever heard in my life. What about the game before that when we played Cleveland. What about when we played Danny Granger, Gerald Wallace, Rudy Gay, Durant…… Why did he not shut those people down. If you actually think Marvin Williams can shut down Lebron James you are The biggest DUMMY there is. When have you ever seen Marvin guard a 4. You have not DUMMY, because he can't. That would be Josh Smith. I am not gay, so stop referring to my private parts, as you did on the other blog. Take that to Lenox Square on Saturday, if that is what you are in to. DUMMY, creating your own shot is not getting to the line. So if someone gets an offensive foul in the penalty, thats creating you own shot huh. Shooting a TECH is crating you own shot? DUMMY!!!! If you don't like what I say fly away (GOODIE MOB). I am RETARDED anough to realize that you might be a homo, and I don't swing that way. If I don't respond to you, it is because I don't feel like you are worthy of a response. Read the article Big Ray wrote first before you resond to my post. I was responding to his post DUMMY. SCROLL when you see my name. "The most effective defense Lebron has seen all season" (LOL). As Fred Sanford would say, YOU BIG DUMMY. I am not gay. Leave me alone. I don't eat fruitcake.

Ok. Wow. Just wow. If you knew the basic rules of the game, you'd know that offensive fouls never result in free throws, regardless of whether a team is in the penalty. Offensive fouls don't count towards the penalty and they don't lead to free throws except in one situation that has never occurred in an NBA game (when a team is reduced to five players due to disqualifications and one of the remaining five commits a sixth foul).
Wow. Just…wow.

The point is just because you are shooting free throws, does not mean you can create your own shot. If you think Marvin can create his own shots then you are in the DUMMY category too.

I seem to recall Marvin shooting 20 free throws in one game. If he didn't create those shots for himself then who did? It is my understanding, and I may be mistaken, that whoever gets fouled actually shoots the free throws. Did the Hawks designate Marvin as the official free throw shooter that game? I'm not from Atlanta so maybe Rod can educate me on how this whole game of basketball works.

I will be at the Celtics game ready to continue the playoff tradition of cheering wildly while we beat them in Atlanta.
For all the Marvin detractors, I simply say that you will miss him when he's gone. He draws a lot of fouls and converts his free throws. He is our best scorer who is taller than Joe, and his defense has definitely picked up this season. He matches up better with the bigger, stronger SF than anyone else on the team.
When Joe has to guard the likes of LeBron or Pierce, it takes a lot of his energy. Mo is too small to do it effectively.

So you base your oinion on (one) game. Come on man. Lets get real. Base it on the three years that he has been playing for the Hawks. The numbers simply do not match your point of view on Marvin. Josh Smith goes to the line more than Marvin, so what does that mean. Answer that one smarty. Does that mean that Josh is good a creating his own shot. No it does not. The only two players on the HAwks who ca actually create their own shot are Joe and Flip. Marvin is not in that class. Come on Jhan, you can do better than that. One game (LOL). If I remember the game everybody keeps bringing up, he was playing against the Wizards with everybody hurt or the Bobcats when they made the trade.

TECHNICALLY, If your stat sheet shows that you put points on the board for your team, then you've created offense for yourself….
1) Josh gets to the line, but he misses a lot of his free throws. Marvin doesn't miss too often.
2) If you go through all of the previous posts, including mine(on this particular blog), most of your rant was already refuted and proven wrong(Before you posted) so why do you insist in going forward with this argument?
3) Building on what Manny said, Marvin is 6′9 245 (The prototypical size for the Small Forward). LeBron is 6″8 250. Mo is 6′4-6′5 220 and Joe is 6′7 235………there's a reason Mo's been posterized by LeBron and Marvin hasn't yet. LeBron's also not forget that the TEAM comes first when it comes to defense, but on the ball, defending LeBron, on our team Marvin is our best bet and he has done a nice job so far with the support of his teammates.
4) What about the Denver game where Marvin Worked Melo for 31 points? Regardless of how much melo put up, 31 points is 31 points…….and we lost on a buzzer beater….
5) No one ever said Marvin was a power forward, but if the opposing team is going to play Boris Diaw or Shawn Marion at that spot, then Marvin gets the assignment.
6) The Whole "12-2 with Mo starting" thing is flawed because all of our players aren't playing whebn he get's these starts.

Rod – Steve Nash has taken 77 FEWER free throws than Marvin. Please convince me that Nash can't create his own shot.

This article pretty much points back to one glaring conclusion. The Hawks are winning in spite of Mike Woodson, not because of him. Don't get me wrong, I like Woody, as a person and a coach…just not for this team. This team is winning on talent, athleticism and determination, not coaching. Give Woodson a veteran team of players with clearly defined roles and he could coach them deep into the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Hawks are not a veteran team of players with clearly defined roles, they are a YOUNG veteran team of players that are mostly still trying to find their niche in the league. Mike Woodson is obviously not the coach to help them along with that. With a clearly defined attack, Joe Johnson could be Kobe Bryant(Light), Mario West should be Bruce Bowen(early years) Acie Law should be CP3(version 2.0), Marvin Williams should be, well, Marvin Williams(for real) and Horford and Smith together should be downright unstoppable.

We are developing methods to assess the risks of existing and new technologies in terms of cost and other performance metrics, and how these risks might change in interesting and important ways with the scale of adoption.
Many evaluations of technologies focus on their long-term potential for improvements due to innovation, but the short term riskiness of technologies is also important for evaluating their viability. Short term risks can arise, for example, from changes in efficiency and cost. Moreover, the overall riskiness of technologies can change with production scale. Here we analyze data and develop models to assess technologies based on their riskiness.
We decompose biofuels feedstock supply risks into agriculture supply shocks (due to random events) and competing demand shocks (a function of demand for food crops which is partially unpredictable) and show that the historical yields of major crops used in the biofuels industry show a significant level of volatility. We relate the resilience of the biofuels supply chain to scale and technological specifications and then discuss the merits and limitations of various strategies for reducing the supply risks of biofuels. Our framework is applied to the case of biofuels; however, it provides general insights and analytical frameworks to analyze the performance and scalability potential of other emerging technologies.
- Ghoddusi, H., Cross-Call, D., Trancik, J.E., The Supply Risks and Resilience of Biofuels, Third International Engineering Systems Symposium CESUN 2012.
- Ghoddusi, H., Trancik, J.E., Biofuels Supply Risks and Energy Security Concerns, in review.
Evaluating the scalability of PV input materials: Solar PV is one energy technology that is promising in its climate change mitigation potential. In this project we evaluate the extent to which PV technologies may experience material scarcity as their deployment is scaled up.
The degree of material scarcity experienced will depend on a combination of supply-side and demand-side factors. Among the potential supply-side factors are the crustal abundance of materials, economic reserves, annual production, mining capacity constraints, and whether the material is produced by itself or as a coproduct of some other mineral's production. Among the potential demand-side factors are the behavior of competing end-uses and the relative weight of the material in the input costs of PV technologies. We are examining the role of both these types of factors in the availability of input materials, both over short and long time scales.
This project will improve our understanding of complex supply chains of input metals by providing quantitative measures of risk and resilience. Studying demand-side risks will help reveal how the price of these metals will be affected by changes in competing end uses, especially with increased adoption of thin-film PV technologies. Also, examining historical end uses will help us learn from the lessons of the past and better inform resource planning for today's and tomorrow's technologies.

Live Chat with TED Books author Howard Rheingold today at 2pm Eastern: Can our digital tools make us smarter?
Continuing with our series of TED book chats, for the next few weeks we'll be discussing Howard Rheingold's new TED eBook, "Mind Amplifier".
Do we humans co-evolve with the tools we build? Can our tools actually make us smarter? "Mind Amplifier" explores the origins of our digital tools, and lays out a framework for harnessing them to collectively and collaboratively solve our most pressing problems.
The book is available for Kindle, Nook, and iOS devices (which have a great new custom TED Books app):
Kindle copy: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GQXRQ8
iOS app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ted-books/id511071050?mt=8
The author will be joining us for a live Q&A November 8th at 2pm Eastern, mark your calendars!
You can also watch Howard's 2005 TEDTalk, linked below.
So, let's get things started... do our new online tools make us smarter? And if not, can we design and use them in a way that does?

Nov 8 2012: Hello all, and welcome to this live Q&A with author Howard Rheingold! Howard, thank you for joining us, your book is a fascinating read on a subject that affects us all… particularly those of us participating in this online conversation!
To get this discussion started, I wanted to dive in to one of your first points in the book… that humans have been using thinking tools to advance beyond biological evolution since the dawn of language, and that these latest technologies simply build upon this ancient ability. What differences, if any, do you see between our earliest "mind-amplifying" tools and the high-tech tools of today?

Dads Who Bond With Kids Help Keep Marriage Strong
For husbands, satisfaction with the division of family work came first, followed by their wife's feelings about the father-child relationship, and then the degree of involvement the dad had with his children.
For her part, Laurie Gerber, president of Handel Group Life Coaching in New York City, said the study rings true. Women really appreciate getting hands-on help at home, but men don't realize this intuitively because they see things very differently, she said. "If a man wants to get into his wife's good graces he should do a chore," she said. "If a woman wants to get into a man's good graces, she should jump him."
A study published earlier this year in American Sociological Review showed that married men who spend more time doing traditional household tasks reported having less frequent sex than do husbands who stick to more traditional masculine jobs, such as gardening or home repair. While women like getting help, doing too many of the chores may inadvertently turn the husband into more of a helpmate than a lover, the research found.
Rather than basing the choice of chores on traditional roles, Gerber recommends that tasks be divided based on both who cares most about getting the particular job done and who is best at it. "My husband doesn't care if my kids have matching outfits on and I don't care about getting the oil changed," she said. Couples need to sit down and discuss who will be primarily responsible for what. "That stops fights and clears so much air."
For Gerber, it's critical to try not to be influenced by how you were raised, what your culture says you should do or what the gender stereotyping says, but rather, by what you think is right. "Marriage is all about being there for the other person and you work as a team to get the job of the family done," she said.

Angry Mom: Thirty-six-year-old Aimee L. Sword -- who was named one of the Worst Mothers of 2009 by momlogic -- has been sentenced to eight to thirty years in prison for having sex with her own son.
Sword gave up her son for adoption when he was a few days old. She received yearly updates and pictures from the boy's family.
When he was 14, Aimee (then a mother of five) contacted him through Facebook and started a sexual relationship with him.
"When she saw this boy, something just touched off in her -- and it wasn't a mother-son relationship, it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship," said her lawyer, who added that Sword had been sexually and physically abused as a child. "Aimee's searching for a reason why this happened. She can't understand it. She's going to get some counseling."
She certainly needs it. Our heart goes out to this innocent boy. How could a mother do such a thing? It seriously boggles the mind.

Editors' reviewEven in the era of MySpace and instant blogs, learning the basics of Web design is useful. SiteSpinner is a site-creation tool aimed at beginners, but with a variety of tools that will help them learn as they work. Its wide range of options is even capable of teaching professionals a few tricks. The interface is a bit cluttered, but well-designed enough to lead new users smoothly through the process of creating relatively complicated pages. Most actions, such as creating an index page, can be triggered simply by clicking the corresponding icon, and then specifying page details such as color of links, header, and background. Navigation inside the program is simple. The program doesn't help with advanced design features such as Cascading Style Sheets, but we definitely recommend it as a quick primer on basic design, and as quick way to get a site off the ground.
Publisher's Description
SiteSpinner is designed to be an all-in-one website creation tool easy enough for beginners, but with powerful features that they can grow into. Its use of industry-standards enables precision drag-and-drop design that lets you position text, graphics, and foreign objects exactly where you want them. Layout enhancements include the ability to easily 'center' a website with the click of a button. With its built-in word processor and spell-checker, advanced layout options and integrated graphics capabilities, it's easy to build professional looking web sites without having to learn HTML. SiteSpinner also includes a Form Editor, the ability to create drop-down navigation menus, and a number of quality Templates to help you get started. Once your site is done, the built-in FTP Publishes your web pages - all files associated with your site are automatically 'gathered up' and uploaded to your webhost.

Home Entertainment Show Ramblings: Will There Always Be High-End Video?
0 comments post a comment
New York again hosted the Home Entertainment Show (previously called The Hi-Fi Show) this past week, dedicated to high-end home theater gear, where I got a taste of the future of home media servers.
It also started me thinking about mass production, and the constant flow of engineering from esoteric high-end consumer equipment one year, to mass market products the next. Read more about it in Dispatch from the Home Entertainment Show.
And it started me wondering: Will there always be high-end video? Clearly, high-end audio -- including vacuum tube amplifiers and speakers costing thousands of dollars each -- is an established niche market that will persist indefinitely. But what about video, which is still so in transition?
Yesterday's high-end video innovation is today's mass market product. Much of the high end today deals with "fixing" or "scaling" problematic signal sources, such as standard definition DVDs. What happens after the signal sources all go HD? Please share your thoughts on this in our Video/Imaging DesignLine Forum.

Mexico: Transgender LGBT Activist Agnes Torres Found Murdered, Victim Of Possible Hate Crime
XQsí reports:
An advocate for the Mexican lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) community, Agnes Torres Sulca, was found murdered in Atlixco, Puebla this past Saturday, March 10.
According to reports from the State Attorney's Office, the body of Agnes Torres was found abandoned in a ditch near an expressway in Atlixco, with a neck wound, burns throughout her body, and visible signs of torture. Her death is presumed to be a hate crime.
Puebla LGBTQ organization No Dejarse Es Incluirse, AC condemned the murder, saying via press release "we condemn the murder of the woman, academic, psychologist, educator, model and activist for human rights of all women in general and of all sexual diversity. We are also shocked, saddened, angered, and saddened by the crime and we feel powerless once again because a valuable person has succumbed to the most brutal form of gender-based violence. Learned violence, encouraged violence, violence against women. In this case, a transgender woman."
Missing for over a week, with friends and family attempting to reach her through social media, Agnes was last seen by her mother as she was leaving for Chipilo.
Asking the authorities to treat this murder as if it were that of politician's relative, No Dejarse es Incluirse, AC urge for the a quick investigation into Agnes' murder.
"We demand the authorities immediately clarify the the murder of Agnes Torres Sulca. We do not want to feel the helplessness, abandonment and legal neglect. The authorities and institutions need to take action on the matter once and for all. No more impunity in anti-LGBTQ homocides."
I currently reside in Mexico City, and it's quite annoying that mainstream media won't cover these kind of news, which need to be known by the public.
UPDATE: Apparently, Agenes was victim of torture and died of hypovolemic shock secondary by beheading. The Gov. of Puebla (State where she was found and allegedly killed), Gov. Rafael Moreno Valle, said that he and his government are doing everything that's on their hands to bring the killers to justice. This came after the Legislative Assembly of Mexico City (Torres resided in Mexico City) urged him to put this as a priority.
According to Milenio, the list of Hate Crimes has been increasing in the past couple of years.
Yesterday, the LGBT Community in Mexico City orginized a protest downtown.
RELATED: Also, Mexico City's congressman Juan Pablo Castro (who's a member of the Conservative Party, PAN, Youth, and not an elected official) made headlines once again for bigoted and hateful comments, saying that "she [Agnes] deserved what happened to her", he wrote on his Twitter account (@jpcastrogamble).
An LGBT Organisation, Agenda for Sexual Diversity, is proceding with a lawsuitagainst the Congressman, based on discrimination grounds. Jaime Lopez Vela, President of ASD, said that they will proceed with the lawsuit till the last consequences, given that discrimination and homophobia are indeed offenses under the Criminal Code of the Federal District (Mexico City).
