Smoking Pig BBQ, San Jose - Southern style ribs/brisket; Peanut Butter Pie w/ Pics
CASH ONLY sign, there's an ATM machine in there. Tried out Smoking Pig BBQ for dinner Fri 2/17/12. It's on 4th & Commercial, they have their own parking lot so it's FREE parking.
They make all there food & sauces there. Ribs are Southern style w/ dry rub. There's a smoker in the back parking lot.
We weren't too hungry so we shared a Two Meat Combo - choice of 2 meats, 1 cornbread, & 1 side dish for $13.95. Choice of meats were: 3 pork spare ribs; chicken leg quarter; 2 Louisiana hot links; 6oz pound pulled pork; 3 slices beef brisket. We picked pork spare ribs & pulled pork. I thought the ribs were tasty, pulled pork some of it was dry, but that can depend on the pieces you get. Add some of the sauces on the table. They have a mustard one, honey one, & spicy one. We both liked the Honey one the best. Side we picked was Mac & Cheese - it was tasty. Corn bread is just 1 muffin so we got an extra one for 95c. Extra side dish of greens for $2.95 - mix of cooked greens - we liked it. Plastic forks/knives on the table w/ paper towels.
Save room for the Peanut Butter Pie - a slice for $4.45. We shared it. It's a homemade pie made w/ chocolate cookie based crust; not too sweet peanut butter filling, & tons of whipped cream w/ drizzle of chocolate sauce. We liked it.
Separate bathrooms. One TV, some quiet music played in the background. Friday night at 8pm they have live music, we didn't stay for.
Owner is named Paul, and he comes around to all the tables. Very nice guy.
Closed Tues
Sat/Sun 12-9
They are no longer cash only!
The larger of the two smokers in the parking lot was smoldering from the chimney which I took as a good sign and it was. Smoking Pig BBQ has some of the smokiest BBQ I've had in the Bay Area!
In addition to the meats hhc lists, they have two appetizers: Wolf Turds (cheese & sausage stuffed, bacon wrapped jalepenos) and Chicken Lollipops (bacon wrapped drumsticks) which I didn't try. The meat is available in sandwiches, plates w/ sides, or a la carte. A decent selection of bottled beers including local selections from Firehouse & Tied House Breweries.
I got the $13.95 3-meat combo (which is the same price as 2-meat hhc got with smaller portions of each meat) with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork and a side of mac & cheese. The waitress asked if I preferred my brisket fatty or lean. Nice touch; I think the last time I was asked this, I was in Texas. I chose fatty.
The metal platter comes with a cornbread muffin. There were more ribs than listed in the menu (2 ribs with the 3-meat combo), but they were from the small end of the rack so I appreciated the extras to compensate for the size. The ribs were tender and the meat released easily from the bone. Maybe it was because these were the smaller ribs, but the meat was a touch dry, but not enough to try and doctor with sauces.
The pulled pork had a light dusting of fresh rub and both the pork & brisket had a nice bark. Both meats had a reddish smoke ring and great smokey flavor. The brisket was tender, juicy, and succulent. The pork, while also having great flavor, was also a little dry. It was the only meat that I used any sauce on.
The mac & cheese was tasty and has bits of pork which added to the flavor.
re: drewskiSF
We finally made it last night and it was as good as this looks. I had a three-meat combo of brisket, ribs, and Louisiana hot link with the beans; my wife had the quarter-rack of ribs with the mac & cheese. Everything was very tasty - the first real barbecue we've had in Silicon Valley in a long time. We both enjoyed all our meats better without sauce. The sauces were OK, but they muddled the great flavors in the rub and smoking. Both sides were great; I need to try the greens next time.
There's a nice selection of bottled beers - we had excellent Samuel Smith choices, a lager and a pale ale - and an intriguing wine list. We may try the wine list next time. We tried to get the key lime pie for dessert but they were out. I don't like peanuts so we had the banana pudding - a rich pudding with banana and cookies, topped with fine whipped cream.
It is so nice to have real barbecue in the South Bay again. I'm sure we'll be back!
re: chocolatetartguy
last night, they had Key Lime & Peanut Butter Pies and Banana Pudding for dessert options.
they might rotate in others.
re: drewskiSF
Oh, does that look good. Must try soon! Thanks so much for the update.

I've got fed up of carrying my camera with the neck strap. It is a strain on the neck, it bounces around, and if I bend forwards to pick something up or to open a gate it swings forward and can hit something. I've seen people with a sling strap that goes over one shoulder and hangs down above the hip so I thought I'd investigate.
I don't usually get too involved in politics other than taking an interest and of course voting but there is one thing I'm passionate about and it is our country's wildlife. I see all sorts of examples of where our wildlife and conservation is taking a back seat to in particular development (e.g., the +Yorkshire Wildlife Trust first conservation area at Askham Bogg, near York which is under threat right now - see http://www.ywt.org.uk/York). With a new election coming up soon we need more politicians up for election to state what they are going to do to protect our wildlife, reserves and conservation areas.
The RSPB have started a campaign "vote for bob" to make sure our politicians know we are concerned about our natural places. If you want nature back on the agenda then please vote at http://voteforbob.co.uk
I'm putting this here as a reminder to myself and in case it helps anyone else.
I have an NVidia GTX660 (latest driver) and an ASUS pb278Q connected via the display port. I have the power settings to turn off the monitor after 30 minutes and mostly leave the machine turned on. However, often when I come back to the machine and hit a key on the keyboard or wiggle the mouse the machine wakes up but my screen is blank.
I use a Nikon D7100 camera and Nikon's Capture NX2 software. Recently Nikon have released a beta of some new software (here) they've got another company to produce and when it goes live Nikon will stop supporting Capture NX2. I wrote about the problems this will cause me and thousands of others at Nikon Capture NX is dead, Nikon have stolen our property and left us high and dry. Now it appears the subject of that post might be a bit over the top (I was really annoyed when I read the beta announcement of the new NXD beta) but the fact remains I (and countless others) have got thousands of hours of image editing that could potentially be lost. What is the problem?
The thread on dpreview that started this off is at here. Basically, Nikon have got Silkypix to write a new editor (NXD) for Nikon and will stop supporting Capture NX. You can try the beta of NXD here. The beta feedback page is here and the official comments include things like:
I just released the 3rd development release of DBD::ODBC (1.39_3). Apart from a few bug fixes and other changes (see below) this release adds support for MS SQL Server Query Notification. Query notification allows an application to request a notification from SQL Server when the results of a query change. Once set up you can block on an execute call waiting for the query to change. Here is an excerpt from the pod:
I have just uploaded DBD::ODBC 1.47 to the CPAN.
This release does contain significant changes in behaviour for unicode builds of DBD::ODBC so I hope when I warned you months ago you tested it.
Thanks to everyone on the dbi-dev list and irc that helped me work my way through the unicode issue.
I'm now going to sit back and wait for the usual rush of reports from everyone who didn't test it.
See below for changes since last full release.
1.47 2014-02-19
Full release of the 1.46 development releases.
Back in 2011 I wrote Faster HTTP usage. At the time Curl was the winner for the way I use HTTP. Since then a few more HTTP client modules have appeared on the CPAN and I was nudged by Tim Bunce to repeat my testing with the newer Hijk and HTTP::Tiny.
I have owned a Nikon D3100 for a few years now. I generally have it set up to take nef/raw images and in camera processed jpg files so I end up with a load of files on my SD card called _DSCNNNN.NEF and _DSCNNNN.JPG. I sometimes edit the raw/nef files in Nikon capture NX and write a new JPG out as _DSCNNNN_copy.JPG and upload it to picasa or Nikon or google plus.

How do I use the Pace Library Catalog?
The Pace University Library Catalog contains records for the materials held by the Pace University Library at its threelocations (Birnbaum Library, Law Library and Mortola Library). It includes records for books, journal titles, government documents, videos, and other materials. The catalog also contains records for items that professors have placed on reserve, and for materials that are available electronically (e-books and e-journals).
Accessing the Online Catalog
- Go to the Pace Library Home Page at http://www.pace.edu/library and click on Catalog: Find a Book or Movie link.
Basics of Searching
To find something in the online catalog, you must first decide which type of search to perform. The search types you will use most frequently are described below:
If you know the author's name:
Click on Author.
Type the author's name - last name (surname) first.
Example: Shakespeare William
Click the Search button.
If you know the title:
Click on Title.
Type the title or first word(s) in the title.
Example: Romeo and Juliet
Click the Search button.
If you know a topic:
Click on Keywords.
Type a word(s) to describe the topic.
Example: fishing
Click the Search button.
Note: If you want to perform a Subject search, you need to know the Library of Congress Subject Heading assigned to your topic. To determine the exact Subject Heading:
- Perform a Keyword search, as in the example above.
- Find one item that covers your topic.
Scroll down to the bottom of the record to view assigned Subject(s).
Example: Communication in Marketing
- Click on a Subject heading(s) to search for other items with the same heading, or click the New Search button to perform a Subject Heading search.
Search Tips
Viewing Results
After you have performed your search, you should see a list of titles, authors or subjects. If there is more than one page, use the Next link to move forward through your list of results and the Prev link to go backward.
To see more about one of the items on your list, click on the underlined title, author or subject. If you have performed a title search, clicking on a title from your list will bring up the full record representing that title. If you have performed an author search, selecting an author's name from your list should bring up a list of titles by that author. Similarly, if you have performed a subject search, clicking on a subject from your list should bring up a list of titles dealing with that subject. From here you should be able to pull up information on individual titles.
Navigation Tips:
When viewing records in the library catalog, you will see a navigation bar at the top of your screen. Use the buttons on this bar to navigate the catalog. Do not use the commands on your web browser (for example, the Back button in Netscape) to go from screen to screen in the catalog.
Limiting/Modifying Results
If you find that you have retrieved too many results, the catalog gives you several options for limiting your search results. You can specify a particular library location or publication date, or add additional words to your search. To limit your search: If you are searching by Author, Title, or Subject, click on the Limit This Search button. You should then see the following screen:
- To limit by location, select the location from the Where Item is Located pull down menu. You can only select one location at a time, so you may need to perform this search more than once.
- To limit by date, click in either of the Year of Publication boxes and type in the year before and/or the year after publication.
- You can also use the pull-down menus to choose a Language or Material Type, or to add additional Words to your search statement.
- Click on the Submit link.
If you are searching by Keyword, click on the Modify Search button and you will return to the Keyword Advanced Search screen, where you can apply limits to your search.
Finding Books in the Library
To find out if your book is available and accessible, look at the Location and Status of the item, which should appear at the bottom of your screen:
|Birnbaum Ref Reserve
|PS3511.I9 G7 1953b
|Birnbaum Ref
|PS3511.I9 G7 1953b c.2
|Birnbaum Stacks-NYC
|PS3511.I9 G7 1953b c.3
|Mortola Ref
|PS3511.I9 G7 1953b c.4
|Mortola Stacks-PLV
|PS3511.I9 G7 1953b c.5
The LOCATION field tells you which Pace Library location owns the item in question. In this example, the Birnbaum Library owns three copies of a book, and the Mortola Library owns two. Copy 2 and Copy 4 are reference books ("Ref" appears in the location designation) and cannot be borrowed. Copy 1 is a reserve book, and is available for use in the Birnbaum library. Request reserve books at the circulation desk. Loan periods for reserve materials are generally two hours, but they can vary, so double check when you borrow the book. For information on looking reserve books up by course number or instructor, see the information below on finding course reserve materials. The CALL NO. field tells you which Library of Congress Call Number has been assigned to the item. The library shelves books according to their Library of Congress Call Number, which consists of a combination of letters and numbers to indicate a subject and sometimes an author and/or year. Note that call numbers appear in the catalogs as links. If you click on these links, you will get a list of surrounding call numbers. The order of the books on the shelves begins alphabetically according to the first part of the call number. If you have difficulty locating an item on the shelves, please ask a librarian for help or visit Matt Rosenberg's page explaining the Library of Congress Classification System. The STATUS field tells you whether the item you have looked up is currently available. A note like the one above ("DUE 11-16-11") indicates that the item is checked out.

Finding Course Reserve Materials
Reserve materials are located at the Circulation desks of both the Mortola and Birnbaum Libraries. Some reserve materials are also available online. To access these, begin on the library home page.
- Click on the Course Reserves Quick link.
- The Electronic Reserves search is at the top of the page and the Paper Reserves search is just below.
- For Electronic Reserves, select the tab of the search you would like to perform.
- If you want to search by the name of your course, simply type the course code or name (e.g. "eng 101" or "strategic planning") into the search box, then hit the Enter key, or click on Search.
- If you want to search by the name of your instructor, type your instructor's last name into the search box, then hit the Enter key or click on Search.
Requesting Materials from Other Pace Library Locations
If the item you want to borrow is available at another Pace University Library location, you can use the online catalog to have it sent to your home campus for pickup. You can also use the procedure described below to place a hold on an item that is currently checked out. (See a demo! using RealPlayer)
- Click on the Request button at the top or bottom of the screen.
- Enter either your portal username and passowrd OR your name and your entire library barcode (without spaces) in the appropriate boxes. Click the Submit button
- Select the location to which the book should be sent from the pull-down menu. Click on Submit.
- Another screen will appear with the item you have requested. Click on the circle next to the item you want to request.
- Click on the Request Selected Item button.
- Another screen will tell you that your request has been sent to the library.
Requests take approximately 2 to 3 business days to arrive. Items that you have requested are held for you at the circulation. You will receive an email when your materials have arrived.
Requesting Materials through Interlibrary Loan
If you are looking for a publication based on a citation you found in a database, a bibliography or from a recommendation, you must first check the catalog to see if Pace University owns the item. If you determine that Pace does not have the item, you may use Interlibrary Loan to request it. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to the library home page and click on the Interlibrary Loan link.
- Log on to the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system. (If this is your first time, use the Create a Profile link to get started.)
- Choose the appropriate form for the type of material you want to request (Book, journal article, dissertation, etc.)
- Fill out as much of the information on the form as possible.
- Requests will not normally be filled without a phone number or email address, so be sure to include one or the other.
- Requests will not normally be filled if the item is already owned by the Pace University Library (see the section above on Requesting Items from Other Pace University Libraries).
Distance Education Students: Please click here for Interlibrary Loan policies and procedures.
Please note that Interlibrary Loan requests can take up to 10 business days to arrive, so plan ahead.
Viewing Your Circulation Record
Members of the Pace University community may view their own circulation record via the Pace Library Catalog. Your Circulation record will let you know what items you have checked out, their due dates, and any fines you owe.

A commuter, on his way home from work in Washington, D.C., came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual."
He noticed a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, so he rolled down his window and said, "Officer,what's the hold-up?"
The officer replied,"President Bush is depressed, so he stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in Iraq, or the worsening deficit and economy, or that his tax cuts won't help anyone except his wealthy friends. So we're taking up a collection for him."
"How much have you got so far?"
The officer replied, "About four gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."

FBI Joke
The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were 3 finalists.
Two men and a woman.
For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
"We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances.
Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!
The man said, "You can't be serious, I could never shoot my wife."
The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."
The second man was given the same instructions.
He took the gun and went into the room.
All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, "I tried, but I can't kill my wife."
The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow.
"This gun is loaded with blanks" she said.
"I had to beat him to death with the chair."

Lovers of the English language should enjoy this one...
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends and we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing:
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions .
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP,you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets UP the earth.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,
for now my time is UP, so.............
Time to shut UP.....!
Oh...one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?

Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2. I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her.
She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.
Why do I tell you this?
Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
Teaching Math In 1950
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1960
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math In 1970
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
Teaching Math In 1980
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math In 1990
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)
Teaching Math In 2005
Un hachero vende una carretada de madera para $100. El costo de la produccisn es $80 ...

Paleoanthropology Division
Smithsonian Institute
207 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20078
Dear Sir:
Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull." We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago." Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the "Malibu Barbie". It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to it's modern origin:
1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone.
2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids.
3. The dentition pattern evident on the "skull" is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the "ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that:
A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on.
B. Clams don't have teeth.
It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in it's normal operation, and partly due to carbon dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation's Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name "Australopithecus spiff-arino." Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin.
However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories surrounding the "trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix" that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.
Yours in Science,
Harvey Rowe

The Reverend Jesse Jackson was holding a press
conference in the appliance department of a Sears
store in Chicago. He was there to protest the fact
that all the washing machines were white.
So the clerk called the store manager, who asked,
"What's the problem here, Reverend?" Jesse pointed at
the machines and loudly bemoaned the fact that all of
them were white.
The manager replied, "Well, Reverend, it's true that
all the washing machines are white, but if you'll open
the lids, you'll see that all the agitators are

A woman was shopping at the local grocery store where she selected these items
A 1/2 galon of 2% milk
A half dozen eggs
A quart of orange juice
A head of romaine lettuce
A 2lb bag of coffee
A 1lb pack of bacon
As she was unloading her items on the counter, a drunk was behind her watching her set her stuff in front of the cashier. While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated "you must be single?"
The woman was a little startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by this derelicts intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the counter and saw nothing unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.
Curiousity getting the better of her she said "well, you know what, you're absolutely correct. But how on earth could you know that?"
The drunk replied "'Cause you're ugly!"

A visit to the asylum...
During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, "What
is the criterion that defines a patient to be institutionalized?"
"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."
1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon or the teacup."
scroll down
"Noooooo," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug."

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Wyoming.
He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chili.
After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"
The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chili into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

Two blonde girls were working for the city public
works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind
her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down
the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all
day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.
An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what
they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the
effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it -- why do
you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"
The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably
looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl
who plants the trees called in sick."

Gallery: Concrete Mushrooms: Transforming Abandoned Bunkers Into Eco Ho...
There are reportedly over 750,000 abandoned concrete bunkers scattered throughout Albania, remnants of Communist dictator Enver Hoxha and his policies of paranoid xenophobia. Now graduate students Gyler Mydyti & Elian Stefa have developed a plan called Concrete Mushrooms that would 'invert the meaning' of these structures by turning them into a network of habitable eco-hostels, cafés, gift shops and more.
Though still in the proposal stage, the Concrete Mushrooms project is a comprehensive plan not only for transforming Albania's concrete bunkers into economic assets, but also for reclaiming the structures symbolically. Not unlike the creators of Das Parkhotel in Austria, Mydyti and Stefa hope to take what many consider a liability destined for the landfill, and transform it into an innovative, useful resource.
According to their detailed, 105-page proposal, there are three major sizes of bunkers scattered across three different types of territories. By methodically choosing qualified structures and systematically assigning different functions to them based on size and location, the network of tourist services could support a burgeoning Albanian tourist trade and help create jobs throughout the country.

Selous wildreservaat
Dit reservaat van 50.000 vierkante kilometer is een van de grootste beschermde gebieden in Afrika. Het reservaat heeft een uitzonderlijk hoge variëteit aan habitats waaronder Miombo-bossen, open graslanden, rivieren en moerassen. In het bosgebied komen meer dan 2.100 planten voor. Verder beschermt dit gebied een indrukwekkend aantal zoogdieren, waaronder de Afrikaanse olifant (106.300) ,de zwarte neushoorn (2135) en wilde jachthonden. Daarnaast leven er grote aantallen jachtluipaarden, giraffen, nijlpaarden en krokodillen. Door zijn enorme omvang blijven de ecologische en biologische processen relatief ongestoord. Dit wordt versterkt doordat het reservaat is ingebed in een ecosysteem van 90.000 vierkante kilometer, bestaand uit nationale parken, bosreservaten en gemeenschappelijke natuurgebieden.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The Selous Game Reserve, covering 50,000 square kilometres, is amongst the largest protected areas in Africa and is relatively undisturbed by human impact. The property harbours one of the most significant concentrations of elephant, black rhinoceros, cheetah, giraffe, hippopotamus and crocodile, amongst many other species. The reserve also has an exceptionally high variety of habitats including Miombo woodlands, open grasslands, riverine forests and swamps, making it a valuable laboratory for on-going ecological and biological processes.
Criterion (ix): The Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest remaining wilderness areas in Africa, with relatively undisturbed ecological and biological processes, including a diverse range of wildlife with significant predator/prey relationships. The property contains a great diversity of vegetation types, including rocky acacia-clad hills, gallery and ground water forests, swamps and lowland rain forest. The dominant vegetation of the reserve is deciduous Miombo woodlands and the property constitutes a globally important example of this vegetation type. Because of this fire-climax vegetation, soils are subject to erosion when there are heavy rains. The result is a network of normally dry rivers of sand that become raging torrents during the rains; these sand rivers are one of the most unique features of the Selous landscape. Large parts of the wooded grasslands of the northern Selous are seasonally flooded by the rising water of the Rufiji River, creating a very dynamic ecosystem.
Criterion (x): The reserve has a higher density and diversity of species than any other Miombo woodland area: more than 2,100 plants have been recorded and more are thought to exist in the remote forests in the south. Similarly, the property protects an impressive large mammal fauna; it contains globally significant populations of African elephant (Loxodontha africana) (106,300), black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) (2,135) and wild hunting dog (Lycaon pictus). It also includes one of the world's largest known populations of hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) (18,200) and buffalo (Syncerus caffer) (204,015). There are also important populations of ungulates including sable antelope (Hippotragus niger) (7000), Lichtenstein's hartebeest (Alcelaphus lichtensteinii) (52,150), greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), eland (Taurotragus oryx) and Nyassa wildebeest (Connochaetes albojubatus) (80,815). In addition, there is also a large number of Nile crocodile (Crocodilus niloticus) and 350 species of birds, including the endemic Udzungwa forest partridge (Xenoperdix udzungwensis) and the rufous winged sunbird (Nectarinia rufipennis). Because of this high density and diversity of species, the Selous Game Reserve is a natural habitat of outstanding importance for in-situ conservation of biological diversity.
With its vast size (5,120,000 ha), the Selous Game Reserve retains relatively undisturbed on-going ecological and biological processes which sustain a wide variety of species and habitats. The integrity of the property is further enhanced by the fact that the Reserve is embedded within a larger 90,000 km2 Selous Ecosystem, which includes national parks, forest reserves and community managed wildlife areas. In addition the Selous Game Reserve is functionally linked with the 42,000 km2 Niassa Game Reserve in Mozambique, and this is another important factor that ensures its integrity. With no permanent habitation inside its boundaries, human disturbance is low.
Protection and management requirements
The Selous Game Reserve has appropriate legal protection and a management plan has been developed. It is managed as a game reserve, with a small area (8%) in the north dedicated to photographic tourism while most of the property is managed as a hunting reserve. As long as quota are established and controlled in a scientific manner, the level of off-take should not impact wildlife populations and, in fact, should generate substantial income which needs to be made available for the management of the reserve in order for the system to be sustainable. A detailed tourism strategy for the reserve needs to be developed, in line with the framework and principles outlined in the management plan. The income generated by those activities needs to be made available for the management of the reserve in order for the system to be sustainable. The large size of the reserve presents important management challenges in terms of the levels of staffing and budget required. Key management issues that need to be addressed are: control of poaching, in particular of elephants and black rhinoceros; ensuring sufficient benefits for the local communities through the wildlife management areas and the improved management of hunting and photographic tourism. Enhanced surveillance and ecological monitoring systems are required to provide a better scientific/technical basis for management of the property's natural resources, as well as to better understand the impacts/benefits of consumptive and non-consumptive tourism. The most significant threats are related to exploration and extraction of minerals, oil and gas, and large infrastructure plans; environmental impact assessments need to be conducted for all development activities in the vicinity of the property that are likely to have an impact of the property's Outstanding Universal Value. To ensure long term integrity of the property it is important to ensure its management as part of a wider Selous ecosystem and to take the necessary measures to maintain the functional link to Niassa Game Reserve in Mozambique.
Long Description
The Selous Game Reserve is an ecosystem (7,400,000 ha) and includes Mikumi National Park and Kilombero Game Controlled Area. A large area of the reserve is drained by the Rufiji River and tributaries that include the Luwegu, Kilombero, Great Ruaha, Luhombero and Mbarangardu. The Rufiji is formed by the Luwegu and Kilombero which join at Shughuli Falls. Soils are relatively poor and infertile.
While there are many habitat types, the deciduous miombo woodland is dominant, providing the world's best example of this vegetation type; as this is thought to be maintained by fire it may be the result of human activities in the past.
The reserve has a higher density and species diversity than any other miombo woodland area, despite long winter drought and poor soils, owing to its size, the diversity of its habitats, the availability of food and water and the lack of settlements. Animal populations in the surrounding areas are often as high, especially in the dry season and contain many of the same species. Some 400 species of animal are known and in 1986 approximately 750,000 large animals of 57 species were recorded. The greatest concentrations are in the north and north-east, also in the inner south. In 1994, in the reserve and surrounding buffer area, there were 52,000 of the endangered African elephant, 50% of the country's total, which is growing again after years of decline due to ivory poaching: 109,000 in 1980 had dwindled to 31,000 by 1989. Within the reserve they totalled 31,735 in 1994 and are found throughout the area. The critically endangered black rhinoceros, which numbered 3,000 in 1981, are now estimated as between 100 and 400 in several small scattered populations.
Several animal populations are large (the figures are quoted from a 1994 aerial survey by TWCM): buffalo (138,000), blue and nyasa or white-bearded wildebeest (46,500), impala (29,500), Burchell's zebra (21,500), Lichtenstein's hartebeest (20,000), kongoni (11,700) and common waterbuck (10,000). Grassland species north of the Rufiji include giraffe (2,200), blue wildebeest, buffalo, impala, eland, reedbuck, warthog, lion (vulnerable at 3,000-4,000) and an occasional cheetah, also vulnerable. Hippopotamus (27,000) and crocodile are abundant. Greater kudu, sable antelope (1,600), with eland, impala, nyasa wildebeest and hartebeest are typical of the miombo woodland. Other relatively widespread mammals include yellow baboon, leopard, spotted hyena, the largest population of the wild dog in Africa (endangered: approximately 1,300). There are also sidestriped jackal, puku, klipspringer, and red and blue duikers. Rarer species include Sanje crested mangabey, Uhehe red colobus (vulnerable), black and white colobus monkey, topi and Sharpe's greysbok.
The birdlife is rich: 350 species of bird have been recorded including knob-billed duck, southern ground hornbill and bateleur eagle, Stierling's woodpecker, white-headed lapwing, the endemic Udzungwa forest partridge (classed as vulnerable) and the rufous-winged sunbird (also vulnerable). The adjacent Mikumi lowlands and mountains and Kilombero wetlands and the nearby Udzungwa Mountains are rich in vulnerable bird species which, like the Kilombero weaver, might stray into the reserve. The globally threatened wattled crane, corncrake and lesser kestrel also occur. Reptiles and amphibians are numerous but little studied.
The area is so large that it can absorb all but the most severe pressures on its resources. There are plans to harness the flood waters of the Rufiji River, with a dam to be constructed at Stieqler's Gorge; but this would affect only relatively small part of the reserve and should not be a matter of Selous concern unless the reservoir draws in large numbers of settlers. Because of difficulties of transportation, the interior of Selous is seldom patrolled, so the estimated numbers of species may be far in excess of the current true situation if poaching has been as serious a problem as elsewhere in East Africa. Much of the infrastructure of the site (roads, guardposts, water systems, etc.) has deteriorated in recent years due to lack of sufficient funding.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
Part of the area was gazetted in 1905 the German colonial administration and four reserves were established in the region by 1912 (total 2S0,000ha). These were combined to form Selou: Game Reserve in 1922, named after captain Frederic Courtney Selous. Further boundary revisions were made afterindependenceto include elephanmigration routes. Accepted as a World Heritage site in December 1982. Designated as a National Project.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

While Propel's Homegrown Roadshow team of Emily and Emily were between events in the SF Bay Area, they paid a visit to our Berkeley Clean Fuel Point to meet up with Cece Reinhardt, one of the partners behind On the Green Road. Per the duo's website (which is also a live blog of their adventures), the goal of On the Green Road is to "green an Airstream, turn a used diesel truck into a veggie oil machine and hit the road in complete 'off the grid' style."
Amazingly, Cece and her fellow road-tripper Brenda Daugherty have been living out this journey since the end of last year and have plans to canvas much of the US and even parts of Canada while "driving towards sustainability one mile at a time." And while Cece didn't have the Airstream in tow when Propel met up with her in Berkeley to donate a well-earned tank of B20 biodiesel, she did promise that we'd meet again. We hope so! Best of luck to these road warriors as they live out their green dreams in sweet Airstream style.

It has been on the non-sanctioned list since early this year, but being non sanctioned there is flexibility.
As Jason points out though - it really is harder and harder to find open dates with the amount of courses, and several new TD's running Events at their home courses which makes it inevitable that there will be overlapping at times.
Jason does have his own little kingdom of courses there at the IDGC (and who among us wouldn't love to get paid to spend all day working and playing on 3 courses in one spot) and sometimes waits to get things posted or changes things up, but he and I have our own little thing where we know what the other is going to do for the most part and we live with it.
Everything is good on my end and I hope that Wills sells out as well as people get to play in the team Event also, so everyone is happy - either way I KNOW where I will be on AUG 11th and it will be in a city beginning with an "A" but it won't be Augusta.

Double world champion Fernando Alonso of Ferrari said 'a new Formula One' will be unwrapped here in Melbourne this weekend when Sunday's Australian Grand Prix bursts into action.
After the introduction of a clutch of new rules and a new tyre supplier, the 29-year-old Spaniard believes the spectacle and the sport will be so much changed it will seem to be 'all new' when the curtain rises on the new season.
Alonso said: "We have had many things to learn ahead of this season and we have the new tyres as well. But I think we have done a lot of testing so we are ready, but it will be something different with the tyres and the pit stops.
"A new Formula One starts here in Melbourne this weekend from a strategy point of view..."
He explained that as the new Pirelli tyres have been designed to degrade faster than last year's Bridgestone tyres, the teams and their drivers will need more pit-stops during the race.
Many drivers have forecast four or more, depending on the conditions.
"Yes, now we will be very focussed on this and it will be a big part in the final race result," added Alonso, winner here for Renault in 2006. "Qualifying will be of less value, too, because there will be so many other factors in force during Sunday's race."
The 2005 and 2006 champion made clear he felt his team were in good shape ahead of the race following a smooth and intensive winter of preparation and testing with the new adjustable rear wing and reintroduced KERS, in which energy used under braking is stored for use as a power-boost.
"We have more buttons on the steering wheel and more things to do, but we are professional racing drivers so that is our job," he said. "I am not too concerned. It is what we have to do..."
He was equally unconcerned by the expectations heaped on him by Ferrari, their fans and their president, Luca di Montezemolo, who said in January that a championship challenge was the least he wanted from the team.
"If you race for Ferrari, there is only one goal and that is to fight for the World Championship and to win world titles... The history of the team can tell you that - it is about passion, and about racing and winning."

The Thomas Jefferson High boys swim team climbed out of the pool at last Friday's dual meet against South Lakes with a familiar feeling of satisfaction, one backed by the 211-94 score line that eventually fell in their favor. The girls' side didn't feel quite as confident — they fell short 171-144 after all the numbers were added up.
Either way, it was another meet in which the Colonials had held their own against traditional Liberty District competition. And it was another meet in which they heard this friendly shout emanate from the South Lakes huddle nearby: "We'll miss you at Conferences!"
It would be easy to forgive the Jefferson boys for feeling a little miffed about that chant, a reminder that VHSL reclassification has them moving down to Division 5A even as they remain undefeated this season against Division 6A competition. All of Jefferson's sports moved last fall from Conference 6 (the former Liberty District) to Conference 13, where they now compete in the postseason against schools of like size (mostly members of the former National District). Several of Jefferson's teams, including the swim team, have eased into the transition by continuing to play regular season contests against old Liberty District rivals. Jefferson Director of Student Activities Rusty Hodges said decisions on the shape of future schedules will come at the end of the school year, when officials will likely mandate regular season schedules against Conference 13 teams.
Jefferson swimmers have every right to feel apathetic about the blowouts that likely await them, but that's not the attitude they're adopting. Instead, the Colonials are excited to embrace cautious optimism in going after their first boys state championship since 2002 and their first girls state title since 2004.
"When it comes time for states, even though we won't be in the same pool [as the 6A teams], we're going to be setting up our relays, setting up our events as if we're swimming against 6A teams," senior captain Miles Oakley said. "It's been a really long time since we've won. We're really motivated for 5A states. We're definitely not looking past any teams."
The boys' move down to 5A coincides with one of their strongest teams in recent years. A deep pool of talent led by junior standout Andrew Seliskar — the country's No. 1-ranked swimmer in his age group — has carried the Colonials to a 5-0 start that featured a 170-145 win against Madison, the defending region champions. Madison was the last team to take down Jefferson in a dual meet, a feat they accomplished on Dec. 17, 2011.
Jefferson's win against Madison pairs with victories over McLean and South Lakes, former Liberty District rivals who now dwell in Conference 6 of Division 6A. The same goes for Fairfax and Langley, the two remaining opponents on their schedule.
Swim coach Ian Handerhan views his relay teams this year as on par with the ones at defending state champion Robinson. He's not sure whether his group would have held up with the likes of Robinson at states this year, but he has a feeling they might have bettered last year's fourth-place finish.
"We were at a level where I don't think we necessarily would have won 6A, but we would have been right there," said Handerhan, now in his third year coaching the team. "So at the top level there's some disappointment that we're not in the pool with Robinson, Oakton and Madison. But at the same time we're going to have a lot of kids that will get to swim at states. No matter where you win it, it's a state championship. They'll be excited. There's no disappointment in winning a state championship no matter where it is."
Jefferson's strength this year comes not just from studs like Seliskar, but from a deep lineup that can get the job done in every event.
"We've talked about when we win, we want to win with depth," Oakley said. "We've got some kids that we know are going to have great individual swims, but when it comes down to Lane 8, Lane 6, Lane 4, we're trying to move those outside lanes up from seventh place to fifth place. That's where the points come from, and that's where we've had our success so far. We want to win as a team so that we can score our best in later meets."
Handerhan initially worried that some of his kids wouldn't get psyched about his team the way they used to, since moving down to lesser competition compounds the problem of high school swimming generally taking a back seat to club swimming. He's been pleasantly surprised, though, to find that he never really has to push his swimmers to show up to dual meets. They still conduct spirit days every Friday, strengthening a lively bond that has a summer-league feel.
Among those needing no extra push is Seliskar, who relishes the looser vibe he feels at high school meets in between national ones. Seliskar, who will have swum in five of the seven dual meets by season's end, convinced his dad last year to let him swim in the medley relay, 200 freestyle and 200 IM of a Friday night high school meet even though he had to compete in the Tom Dolan Invitational the next morning.
"The high school meet, this is an environment that a lot of other kids don't have," said Seliskar, who is considering Cal and Stanford among other college programs. "Some of my friends on the national junior team swim competitively year round, but they never have the chance to swim for their school. I think there's a whole other level of atmosphere when you swim here. You've got everyone you see everyday at school watching you. So even if you're not as physically tapered or shaved down or anything like that, that adrenaline rush is still going to be there no matter what you do."

Posted in Dr. Ying Competition
Collin currently attends Cocoa Beach High School in Brevard County and is anything but your typical high school senior. Participating in the International Baccalaureate Program, Collin has had the opportunity to do and present scientific research since his middle school days. As a Melbourne Beach resident, he developed a love for the ocean and that love has inspired the research that he has entered in this year's Dr. Ying Science Competition.
His entry focuses on research into karenia brevis, the organism responsible for the Florida red tide. He has investigated and invented a new, simple and inexpensive method of detection for the most harmful brevetoxin in the red tides, PbTx-3. His ultimate goal is to stop the damage to our ecosystem from these harmful red tides. If successful, he could one day save millions of species of marine life plus positively impact Florida's fishing and tourism industries.
Collin has won numerous awards for past research, including the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge's "Planet Green" Award in 2007 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's "Taking the Pulse of the Planet" Award in 2009. He received a scholarship from the U.S. Navy in 2009 and in 2010 he completed an internship during the summer with the NOAA Center for Costal Environmental Health and Bimolecular Research in Charleston, NC. Collin won the Ying Competition in 2009 and 2010, and is looking forward to another exciting competitive experience.

some people take things a bit to far.
some people take things a bit to far.
Thats pretty concerning. If someone were to take a shot at Romney it would be damn near impossible to miss his head.
Secret service will be busy this week. It's like they don't realize that what they write on there can be seen by everybody.
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
I'm surprised he hasn't received them already. I thought death-threats came with the territory of running for/being president.
Since Romney is still just a candidate and the fact that these were all posts on Twitter, I doubt the Secret Service is running very many, if any, of these threats down. They'll run down any intel or hand written threats and increase his detail as a precaution. They might pick out a few of the tweets and follow their authors a bit closer, but I doubt they're really all that concerned about these.
Still, its pretty stupid. NO ONE SHOULD WANT OUR PRESIDENT ASSASSINATED, NO MATTER IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM OR NOT. The assassination of a democratically elected leader is NEVER a good thing.
Enjoy your burrito.
We are due for an old fashioned assassination. This generation is so lazy.

I found a local guy that has a tank for sale.. and I have read a few other sites about identifying owner tank to rental tanks..
I kinda get the no name on neck is one indication its owner tank and something about companies that were bought out and no longer in business may have the name stamped on the next BUT may still be legally owner bottles..
So before I purchase this tank, can anyone tell me if the numbers stamped on the tank indicate otherwise?
Here are pics of the stamps visible on the tank, what do they mean and is it ok to buy..(keeping in mind that there is no name or writing of any sort on the neck)
thank you

The top picture is the Hydro test date Mar 2005 with a + and Star. I believe that means it is within test date (2005, 10 year test) until Mar 2015.
The neck ring will be higher, around the valve. You do not have that in the picture. You said there is no name there, so chances are you can exchange it easily.
You did not state where you live or the size of the bottle, and it seems to vary widely from area to area and LWS to LWS, but generally I have found 125 cf and smaller are generally considered Customer Owned and can be pretty much exchanged regardless of the neckring. Larger bottles are generally considered Leased Bottles. Even if it is larger, you probably can exchange with the LWS on the neckring if you buy it.
Also, sometimes you can exchange an Oxygen or Helium bottle for Argon or C25, but not always. And you may have a few different LWS in your area, so try them all. Gas prices vary widely too, by the way.
Best advice I can give you is to take the bottle or all the information (picture will help) to the LWS and ask them if they will exchange. That's a heavy and expensive paperweight if they will not.
I will say, I have bought, sold, and exchanged many bottles. Some I had to only take to one LWS or the other. Currently have 7 bottles and 2 only go to Airgas, 2 to Nexair, 2 could go anywhere (no neckring) and 1 I haven't tried yet.
You know you will exchange and bring home a different bottle unless you take yours and wait 2-3 weeks for it to be filled and returned. So likely the new bottle will have their neckring on it.Burt

Determine the bottle size and content. No name would be a owner tank. Call local suppliers for their requirements , policies, and charges. One supplier in my area will exchange tank for tank but charge to repaint it their colors. Another will only do like for like. It's all about each supplier. Their fill prices vary too.
There maybe a member in your location that could guide you to a supplier.
Here's a chart that may help in sizing. http://www.airgas.com/content/detail...=7000000000234

thank you all for the info, suggestions and links..
The measurements of the tank are as follows:
Circumference = 29.5in
Height(to the neck) = 54.5in
Height(to top of cap) = 60.5in
I used different online calculator trying to figure out the volume, but the results don't come close to any of the guides provided and found for the sizes.
Ill try(time permitting) to get full size pics from the guy if he still has it and post

Looks like a size 49 from Air Liquide. A cross reference and the specs are here:http://alspecialtygases.com/Prd_high...ure_steel.aspx ---Meltedmetal
You can always ask the owner if he would return your money if you can't get it filled. Doesn't hurt to ask.
It sounds like a 300-330 cu ft. bottle. Was it argon or argon/co2 mix? In NJ you can no longer buy these. The largest that I have found for sale by a LWS in my area is a 125cu & some are now only selling 80cu while renting the larger sizes.MM250

Video: 2013 NBA Draft Bennett
Cavs select Anthony Bennett with the number one overall pick.
Bennett, a forward from UNLV, is 20 years old, 6 foot 7 inches tall and weighs 239 pounds.
PHOTOS | First NBA Draft pick Anthony Bennett
Bennett is a very athletic power forward.
He averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds a game his freshman season.
He's from the same hometown in Canada -- Brampton -- as Tristan Thompson. He's the highest drafted Canadian player in the NBA ever.
He credits his mom, Edith, as his biggest influence in life because she is a hardworking single mom who works two jobs.
LIST | 2013 NBA Draft pick-by-pick analysis
There's an obstacle for the Cavs right now with Bennett. He is recovering from a torn rotator cuff. He is expected to be able to begin practice in August.
The 6-foot-7 Bennett, the highest drafted Canadian ever, averaged a team- leading 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds while being named the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year last season.
The selection of Bennett comes as a bit of a shock, as Kentucky's Nerlens Noel was considered the favorite to be the No. 1 pick when the draft began Thursday night at the Barclays Center.
Bennett, who was born in Toronto, is the second UNLV player to be chosen No. 1. The Charlotte Hornets took Larry Johnson first overall in 1991.
Bennett will try to help the Cavaliers get back to their winning ways for the first time since LeBron James left the franchise and went to the Miami Heat following the 2010 season. The Cavs were a playoff team for six straight years with James, but have missed the postseason the last three.
Last season, the Cavs went 24-58 and fired head coach Byron Scott, then hired back Mike Brown, who previously served as the team's head coach from 2005-10.
This marks the 30th and last time David Stern announcing the top overall pick. He will step down as commissioner Feb. 1 and will be replaced by Adam Silver.
