I've been DJing for around 6 months now, and I think I'm at a mediocre level (even though I've had a month off due to broken tone arm, moving house and a terrible supplier who still hasn't dispatched my tone arms that I've paid for after 4 weeks).
Anyways, I currently use Technics 1210 mk2 x2, and I wish to expand on the fact that I'm playing vinyl. I usually play Drum and Bass, however will sometimes throw in a bit of Breakbeats/Hip-hop and maybe dub step. I am fairly good at beatmatching, can get in some double drops etc, and over all fairly well educated in what to do and how to DJ. However I'm really interested in turntablism, especially after seeing various DJs like Captain Crunch and Krafty Kuts. I know a lot of Turntablists don't use either Serato or Traktor, but many do (Eg Jag Skillz, DJ Craze etc) and I've heard that it can in fact improve performance and efficiency, and make me learn quicker.
So which one do I go for, Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch Pro? I've heard both are good, some people have suggested Serato is better, and some have suggested Traktor. Others have said no point spending the money on the software and hardware (each are around £500), however I wouldn't mind spending it.

North Korea could perform its third nuclear test to show country's military prowess after the humiliation it had to face because of its highly controversial rocket failure.
According to a senior South Korean defense ministry official there is a possibility that North Korea might embark on nuclear test or another rocket launch after the North's satellite plans fizzed soon after the take off.
He added that military provocation from North could be on the cards too because of the humiliation it had to face on the 100th birth anniversary of the late leader Kim Il Sung.
"The possibility of an additional long-range rocket launch or a nuclear test, as well as a military provocation to strengthen internal solidarity is very high,"
Impending Nuclear Test
According to experts satellite images show signs of deep tunneling and other preparations in Punggye-ri site for nuclear test. Punggye-ri is the same area where nuclear tests have been conducted by North Korea in the past as well.
A report compiled by South Korean intelligence officials read, "North Korea is covertly preparing for a third nuclear test, which would be another grave provocation. North Korea is digging up a new underground tunnel at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site, in addition to its existing two underground tunnels, and it has been confirmed that the excavation works are in the final stages."
Marcus Noland, a North Korea expert at the nonpartisan Peter G. Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington said, "A nuclear test next month is a virtual certainty".
Importance of the launch
The launch was very significant for Kim Jong-Un who recently took over the helm as head of the state. The young leader in his late 20's has been criticized for his decision to approve a rocket launch which didn't yield anything. The rocket failure costs North Korea around $1 Billion which could have been used for constructive purposes in the nation which has been facing famine and international sanctions.
Lee Jong-won whi is a professor at Waseda University in Tokyo said "This is the first crisis for the new leader that has just taken over,"
"It is inevitable that they will look to find who is responsible for the failure, and I wonder what the treatment will be for those in the military and the hard-line officers who have pressed for the launch." he added.
International isolation
US president Barak Obama condemned the North Korea's decision to invest a substantial amount of resources in a rocket, which didn't even work, at a time when the citizens of the country are literally starving. Obama wishes to further isolate North Korea with the assistance of international community.
"Obviously any opportunity for us to provide them food aid was contingent on them abiding by international rules and international norms. So we will continue to keep the pressure on them, and they'll continue to isolate themselves until they take a different path." said President Obama.

The images are provided in two flavours:
Use this guest if your system is installed with a 64bits host.
Do not install a 64bits guest in a 32 bits host. It will not work.
This version is in preparation. Stay tuned.
Visit http://www.virtualbox.org and install Virtualbox from the download page:
If you are using GNU/Linux, Virtualbox is already part of most distributions.
Then run Virtualbox and select "Import virtual environment" from the file menu. Follow the wizard.
If you share a directory called "kdenlive" on the host, it will be visible on the guest.
After booting-up, go to System->Preferences->Keyboard and select a Keyboard compatible with your country.
Daily user: kdenlive(username)/kdenlive(password)
Administrative user: root(username)/kdenlive(password)
Virtualbox is not able to virtualize firewire ports. Therefore you will not be able to capture from your camcorder. You will be able to play DV and HDV files, not AVCHD. Be aware that this is only a demo package for demonstration of Kdenlive AND GNU/Linux. We do not think that running Kdenlive in a virtualbox is a suitable solution for daily work.

How to care for a feral mom and her kittens indoors:
Keep the family in a holding cage inside a bathroom. Cover the back of the cage with a blanket or sheet and provide a feral cat den to help the mother cat feel more comfortable.
In our experience, the mother cat—even when completely feral—is somewhat comfortable indoors because her kittens are with her. We do not recommend holding feral cats indoors for an unspecified length of time. But in this specific instance, it is the best thing for the kittens.
Feed the mother cat more than you usually would. Nursing mother cats need on average three times the amount of food than normal.
Give the mom some alone time daily so that she can relax. This is a good time to begin socializing the kittens to people!

As national Trap-Neuter-Return experts with more than 20 years of experience, we often receive calls from caregivers wondering how to trap a mother cat and her kittens and what to do with them once they've been trapped.
In this section, you'll learn:
In order to do what's best for kittens, you MUST know how old they are. Throughout this guide, refer to our kitten progression photos for help determining kittens' age. Here are a few guidelines to remember:
If you find kittens who are alone, determine if the mother has abandoned them or if she is just off looking for food. The only way to find this out is to wait. Often times, she will return within a few hours. Observe from a distance or a hidden spot to be sure she is not returning before moving the kittens. Use common sense and be patient.
If the mother cat doesn't come back after several hours, and you think she has abandoned the kittens or they are in danger, you can choose to raise them yourself. Do not take this decision lightly. You will need to determine if the kittens require neonatal kitten care (one- to four-weeks-old), if the kittens are young enough to be socialized, fostered or adopted (six- to 16-weeks-old), or if they are at the age to be trapped, neutered, and returned (four months or older).
If the mother is feral and the kittens are too young to be separated from her, the best thing for the family is to leave them where they are for now as long as the location is safe. (Use your judgment and common sense—if you think the location is safe enough for the mother to survive, leave the kittens with her; if not, see next bullet point.) Remember, the mother is best able to care for her kittens. Provide food, water, and shelter. Monitor the family daily and make the environment as safe for them as you can. If you have decided you don't have the time or the resources to foster, socialize, and adopt out the kittens, then you can trap, neuter, and return the whole family when the kittens are 8-weeks-old or two pounds. If you can foster, socialize, and adopt out the kittens, the ideal window is when the kitten are between six weeks and 12 weeks old. The best thing for the mother cat is to be trapped, spayed, and returned to her outdoor home.
If the kittens are too young to be separated, and you believe it is safer for the whole family to come indoors—you can trap the mom, trap or scoop up the kittens depending on their age, and bring the whole family inside to a quiet, small room like a bathroom, where they can live until the kittens are weaned and it is safe to get them all neutered. Learn more about how to care for an outdoor cat family indoors in the sidebar at left. From there you can decide what is best for the kittens and either return mom outside if she is feral or find her an adoptive home if she is fully socialized. Learn how to tell the difference between socialized (stray) cats and feral cats.
If the mother is feral and the kittens are old enough to be separated from her, you have a decision to make: commit to foster, socialize, and adopt out the kittens, or trap, neuter, and return the kittens when they are 8 weeks or two pounds.
If you trap a cat and discover at the clinic that she is a nursing mother, get her spayed immediately and return her to the area where you trapped her as soon as she is clear-eyed that evening, with approval from the veterinarian. Many times, you only learn this after she is at the clinic—make sure the clinic knows your plans for returning nursing mothers as soon as possible; they may have an anesthesia protocol that will enable her to wake up from surgery more quickly. It may seem counterintuitive to separate her from her kittens, but it's difficult to trap her again—this may be your only real chance to spay her and prevent further litters. Try to find the kittens (following the mother after you return her) so that you can trap and neuter them when they are old enough. Note: Nursing mother cats continue to produce milk after being spayed, and can continue to nurse their kittens.
If you discover at the clinic that you have brought in a pregnant cat, have her spayed by an experienced veterinarian who has performed this surgery before. It may be necessary to allow an extra day for recovery and extended observation. For many people, this is a difficult aspect of Trap-Neuter-Return, but as with nursing mothers or any cat in a trap, it may be difficult to trap her again—this is your opportunity to protect her from the health risks and ongoing stresses of mating and pregnancy.
Once you have a plan and understand the different scenarios you may encounter, you are ready to start trapping.
For general information on how to trap cats, see our How to Conduct Trap-Neuter-Return Guide. Use this baseline information to inform the more complex process of trapping a mom and kittens.
On your first attempt at trapping a cat family, always set out at least one baited trap for every cat and kitten in the family (see our kitten safety tips below). Note: These instructions are for moms with kittens who are old enough to walk. Younger kittens can be scooped up and used to attract mom, but not vice versa.
If you don't trap mom in the first round, she will soon hear, see, and smell her kittens in the trap and want to get close to them, providing the perfect incentive for her to enter a trap herself.
Once you have a kitten trapped, immediately set up a second trap of similar size end-to-end against the one holding the kitten, so that mom will have to walk into the open trap to reach her baby. Do not open the trap holding the kitten. The short ends of the traps should be touching and the two traps together should form a long rectangle. (See photo.)
To make sure mom goes inside the trap and not around the back or sides, cover the trap holding the kitten on three sides so that the kitten is only visible from the entrance of the open trap. Cover the area where the traps meet, so mom can't see the partition as easily. To her, it will appear as though the kitten is inside a tunnel.
If you trap the mother cat first, or if you are trapping other cats and you trap her by accident, keep her in the trap and set a second trap, following the same instructions outlined above with the traps used end-to-end, with one important addition: once you have trapped one kitten, you will have to set up a new trap for the next kitten. Kittens can also be used to trap their siblings in a similar fashion.
When trapping kittens, make sure you are using an appropriately sized trap, like a Tru-Catch 24 or Tomahawk 104 trap, or any trap made specifically for kittens. Larger traps, like those used for raccoons or tomcats, are too powerful for kittens, can put them at risk, and kittens sometimes are not heavy enough to trip the plate.
We suggest that you prop open the trap door with a water bottle or other similarly sized object (like a stick) attached to a string, so you can spring the trap manually when all kittens are safely clear of the door. Once the kitten is fully inside the trap and clear of the door, pull the string hard and fast to remove the water bottle.
Make sure to set out at least one trap per kitten, to discourage kittens from following each other into the same trap. (They may still do this, but springing the trap manually will make sure no one gets caught in the trap door.) If you do catch two kittens in one trap, either use an isolator to transfer one into another trap, or bring an extra trap to the clinic and the clinic will separate the cats after surgery.
As cat experts, we understand your reservations about interfering with nursing mothers and their kittens, but the best thing you can do for the whole family in every situation is to trap and neuter them as soon as it is safe to do so. Where you place the kittens after trapping—either in adoptive homes or back with their colony—depends on many factors, including your own time and resources. No two situations are exactly alike, so be prepared to use your judgment.

Why is distro, rather than distri, short for distribution in Linux world?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
My guess is that distro might have been inspired by shortenings like repo[sitory], algo[rithm], memo[randum] &c.
Due to the Latin influence, "-o" is a much more natural-sounding ending for a singular noun in English than "-i". My best guess is that this subconsciously affected the coinage.
The OE has an extensive entry on the -o suffix ($) which I excerpt here:
The pronunciation of "distribution" is:
"-stri" would typically be pronounced similar to the beginning of "street" or "stripe".
"-stro", on the other hand, would be pronounced similar to the beginning of "strobe" which isn't exactly the same but close enough in American English that we'd rather say "distro" than "distri".
Furthermore, the "-tri" ending is very rare in English with "-tro" being slightly more common.
If you create a new word, similarity to already existing words makes the difference between "sound good" and "sound weird".
"Distro" is very similar to already existing word "bistro". There are also "maestro", "electro", "nitro", "metro", "retro" etc.
On the other hand, I don't know any word with singular ending with "-tri". It looks like some plural form (like "uteri").
In Germany, 'distri' is short for distributor (i.e. a person or company that distributes wares to retailers). So I always assumed that that was there first, and to avoid ambiguity, 'distro' was chosen for the noun 'distribution'.
An abbreviation doesn't have to use an unbroken sequence of letters beginning with the start of the word, so "DISTRibutiOn" can collapse to "distro".
What does "Linux" itself stand for if not "LINUs' (variant of) uniX"?
At the risk of triggering Godwin's Law, there is the rather (in)famous example of "NAtionalsoZIalistische".
Uh, because distro sounds awesome...
Distri sounds like a New Yorker pointing out which bit of flora you want duh gahdnuh (gardener) to cut down. [Dis tree . . . as opposed to dat tree.]
And before anyone complains that is a Boston accent: Gawdnuh is Boston. Gahdnuh is New York. I'll let @RegDwigнt translate that into IPA for anyone who wishes. ;-)
Because the i in "distri" would be short, and awkward.
In English when you have a vowel sound followed by a consonant, the syllable break is generally between them for long vowels, and after them for short vowels.
Consider: pro/nounce or ma/king, vs. pub/lic or but/ton.
Consequently, we don't really have dangling short vowels very often - at the end of words or anywhere else.
For precisely the same reason that "duplication" gets abbreved as "dupe", as in someone gullible or easily fooled. The answer is, "because".
Distro is slang. One usage example is http://distrowatch.com. And if you google for distribution etymology, you get the following diagram.
Latin: distribuere -> distributio
English: distribute -> distribution
If you pronounce distribution in English, it sounds like distribjuschen (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/business-english/distribution).
But Linux and many open source distributions come from Europe. And this term could have been coined in Germany where distribution is pronounced differently (http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Distribution, no voice recording).
In the English distribution, only the first two syllables are strong (distri); the bution follows after like a tail. But in the German distribution, the dis is strong, the tri is fairly weak, the bu is strong and the tion again is strong: DIStriBUtiON vs DISTRIbution.
So from the English pronunciation, going to distri is most logical. In German however the tri is weak so going to distri makes no phonetic sense.

WACO (January 30, 2013)—Shawn Wesley Gentry, 18, of Waco and Jacob Gutierrez, 19, were in the McLennan County Jail Wednesday night, facing unlawful restraint charges after a 20-year-old woman told deputies she was held against her will overnight in a home just off Interstate 35 south of Lorena.
Gutierrez was also facing an assault charge in the incident.
The woman told McLennan County deputies she was with two men at the home in the 200 block of Old Bethany Road Tuesday night.
She said that when she wanted to leave, the two men refused to let her go, authorities said.
She told deputies one of the men grabbed her by the hair, rushed her into a room, choked her and then locked the door.
She was able to escape Wednesday morning after convincing her captors to take her for a ride so she could get some air.
At some point she was able to escape from the pair and made her way to the interstate to call Lorena police.
Meanwhile a resident who lived along Old Bethany Road called the McLennan County Sheriff's Office to report that two suspicious men turned up at her door asking for gas money.
When deputies arrived, they found one of the two men at the scene and arrested him.
They arrested the other at the home where the woman said she was held.

There is a section about integer promotion in the C18 manual, but I don't think it has something to do with my question. Anyway, here it is:
ISO mandates that all arithmetic be performed at int precision or greater. By default, MPLAB C18 will perform arithmetic at the size of the largest operand, even if both operands are smaller than an int. The ISO mandated behavior can be instated via the -Oi command-line option.

PAP Smears After Age 65
Ivor Benjamin, MD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
If a woman is over the age of 65 and not sexually active, does she still need to continue to have regular Pap smear testing performed? Also, is there an actual age where Pap smear testing is no longer required?
Ivor Benjamin, MD, Former co-Editor-in-Chief of OncoLink, responds:
Most gynecologists would recommend an annual Pap test for all sexually active womenregardless of age. If a woman is not sexually active and has had several consecutive normal annual Pap tests, many would say that she no longer needs to have an annual Pap test. However, according to the National Cancer Institute, "There is no known upper age at which Pap tests cease to be effective. Older women should continue to have regular physical exams, including pelvic exams and Pap tests. Women who have had consistently normal Pap test results may want to ask the doctor how often they need to have a Pap test."

expecting your valuable feedback.
Great stuff.
I have never been in hotels like that never mind being able to photograph them.
excellent work - my only feedback would be to go full screen with this sort of quality. If you are really looking for detailed criticism maybe a wee bit more work on nadir - your nadir technique looks like it's leading to a bit of added post production effort to patch. Other than that - very pro level stuff for sure.
Hello Mak,
The panos are looking great.
Besides the fact that the panos should be showed fullscreen (Bill already mentioned that) there is a more serious issue with Safari (MacBookPro-OSX 10.5.4)
The panos are only showed at approx 60% of the size of the viewer, this issue is related to your authoring software.
EDIT, screenshot
thanks all for posting reviews.
will sure look for that changes as per the feedback.
btw bill,
can you please tell me more about nadir patching ?
is there any problem with nadir patching?
any erros ?
or how i should improve that technique and work to make it more better professional ?
thanks again
Those 360 panoramas were very good. I cannot see any issues with the nadir even when I know what I am looking for. You are able to go full screen with the viewer that I end up using after the panorama has completely loaded. You get an entire spectrum of end users from someone who thinks that it is a still photo or doesn't even pay attention to it to people who have a technical background and may choose to view it full screen.
The only recommendation I can make is to give a hint about the ability to view it full screen or a hint on how to navigate it. I know that some customers are very very particular about how they want their web site to look and I do not meddle with it beyond communicating that it is possible. I want their business more than I want to ruin a deal after I have sold it.
Oh, and one more item. What method are you using for patching your nadir's? It must be an extra shot from a different position. I cannot make my nadirs look that good
well Castillonis,
Thank you for your detailed review on the link.
I do not take any nadir shots. I use PS technique of J tool and Stamp Tool to retouch it.
I have team of people who does only production work for me and i do shoot regularly thats the team work we have.
again thanks and keep watching new panos over to that links, will update it regularaly as soon as i produce more touched up work of latest...
Many times it's easier to coach the game than play the game. Nadir patching seems to be the weakest point in creating a full spherical panorama (at least for me). Especially when you have a great deal of texture on the floor. As far as improving your technique I believe it's more like refining what you are already doing which is obviously working. Remember that to the causal observer your panos are near perfect. I would suggest, as others have here, to consider displaying these fine works in full screen and in different formats (quicktime, DevalVR, flash etc).
Keep up the great work
thanks bill,
i really appreciate your time to write me this.
i'll sure try to look after what you suggested here.

After-Prom Parties
In This Article:
Bonnie Perkins began organizing all-night after-prom parties at her daughters' high school after a close friend's 18-year-old son was killed while driving drunk. She's also one of three moms who founded the Montgomery County, MD, Project Prom, through which parents in more than 30 high schools cooperate to share ideas, themes, decorations, and fundraising for after-prom events.
Party Musts:
It's the prizes that entice kids to stay until the end, since that's when drawings for the most valuable items are held, and teens must be present to win.
Top Party Activities:
Students who attend these parties must arrive by a certain time. If they leave before it's over, they can't be readmitted.
While the parties usually require months of planning and fundraising, Perkins says it's not too late for this year. She knows one mom who pulled together a reasonably successful event in 2 weeks for $1,500.
Throwing a Party at Home
If there's no school-wide event, you might consider hosting your child's friends at your house. Together you can decide the party's start and end times, how many guests you can handle, and who will be invited.
This overlooks the fact that serving alcohol to minors is illegal and that you can be found criminally or civilly liable if anyone at the party, including the intoxicated teen, gets hurt.
If the Party Is at Someone Else's House

WACO (February 7, 2013)—Waco police rerouted traffic Thursday afternoon on northbound New Road after a motorcyclist died in a collision with a pickup truck in which speed may have been a factor.
Police identified the motorcyclist Thursday evening as Robert Charles Taplin III, 20, of Waco.
The accident happened just before 3 p.m. near the intersection of North New Road and Watt Avenue.
Taplin's northbound 2006 Suzuki motorcycle slammed into the side of the Ford F-250 pickup as the truck's driver pulled onto New Road from the parking lot of the Gift Horse store, police said.
The motorcyclist wasn't wearing a helmet, police said, and the speed at which he was traveling may have been a factor in the accident.
McLennan County Justice of the Peace Pete Peterson pronounced Taplin dead at the scene.
The 18-year-old woman who was driving the pickup was not injured, police said.

LeBron James Leads Heat to Another Title
MIAMI—If 2012 was the year when Miami superstar LeBron James got the monkey off his back, 2013 was when he took a wrecking ball to all the other knocks on his attributes.
The 28-year-old seemingly put to rest every conceivable question here Thursday, when he pieced together a dominant performance to lead his team to a 95-88 Game 7 victory over the San Antonio Spurs that clinched a second consecutive NBA title.
In doing so, the near-constant focus on James—a limelight trained on him since he was a high-school phenom, before arriving in the NBA as an 18-year-old with loads of raw talent—seemed poised to shift and take on a different perspective.
No longer should he have to endure the game-to-game questions about whether he can come through in the clutch, because he did that to seal the game against the Spurs.
"Hopefully with two titles, he'll get more benefit of the doubt," said teammate Shane Battier of James, who's been a polarizing figure in the league ever since his televised, cringe-inducing "Decision" in 2010 to leave Cleveland and sign with the Heat.
James, who scored a game-high 37 points, logged 12 rebounds won the NBA Finals MVP award for the second straight year, figures to hear his name placed in more serious conversations about where he and his accomplishments will someday rank among the sport's all-time greats.
"I want to be, if not the greatest, one of the greatest to ever play this game," he said.
James, for all his athleticism, was seen early in his career as a player who couldn't consistently make jump shots. And teams—particularly the Spurs back in 2007, when they swept James's Cleveland Cavaliers for the title—were confident they could stop him by forcing him to shoot from outside.
James simultaneously vanquished the Spurs and any remaining questions about his jumper Thursday. He went 5-for-10 from the three-point line, and all but closed the door on San Antonio with a 19-foot jumper that gave Miami a four-point lead with just under 28 seconds remaining.
On some level, San Antonio knew it would be in trouble if it encountered a scenario in which James had his jumper going. "You just have to contest [him] and hope he misses," said Spurs guard Danny Green, who watched James miss several of the same shots earlier in the series.
Asked whether he was basically unstoppable when he makes shots like the ones he hit Thursday, James said, "Yeah, I am."
Of course, the superstar didn't win the game or the series by himself. Anyone who watched the series knows the Heat likely wouldn't even have made it to Game 7 had it not been for a game-tying three-pointer by Ray Allen with only five seconds left in Game 6.
But Miami—despite having a Big Three in Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and James—was always most dependent on its best player. Wade performed well in Game 7 (23 points, 10 rebounds), but battled painful knee injuries that usually sapped him of his normal quickness and bounce. And Bosh, who actually went scoreless in the deciding game, struggled with his shot during the last two rounds.
Simply put, the 6-foot-8 forward took over when he had to during the series, and his team was often better when he played more aggressively. James finished with an average of 29.8 points in Miami's four wins during the series—more than 10 points better than the 19.3 he averaged in the three losses.
And the Heat found success when it spaced the floor by surrounding its best player with shooting specialists. Battier, who'd scored just 21 points in the first six games of the series, logged 18 in the finale alone, drilling six triples. "Shane ain't hit a shot since I don't know when, but tonight he was unconscious," Wade playfully said of his teammate.
While Miami players were full of smiles, those on the other side—with a franchise that had never lost in the Finals—were understandably distraught. Tim Duncan, a two-time MVP and four-time champion in his own right, said he couldn't shake having missed a layup that would've tied the game with just under a minute left.
"Game 7 is gonna always haunt me," said the 37-year-old Duncan, arguably the best player of his generation. Asked about his future, he said he doesn't plan to retire.
One veteran Spur—35-year-old Manu Ginobili—acknowledged that the team's breakdown in Game 6 weighed on his mind coming into the series finale. On Tuesday, the Spurs had been so close to victory—with a five-point advantage, and just under 29 seconds to go—that league officials had begun cordoning off the arena floor here with yellow police tape to keep fans away from the trophy presentation.
To go from the cusp of victory to a difficult Game 7 atmosphere—no team has won a Game 7 on the road for an NBA championship since Washington in 1978—was daunting to say the least. "In my case, I still have Game 6 in my head," Ginobili said.
But truth be told, it didn't feel like the Spurs lost the series as much as Heat won it. San Antonio held 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 leads in the best-of-seven set, but the Heat never folded when their backs were against the wall.
Miami made important tactical adjustments—from spacing the floor better with different lineups to putting James on point guard Tony Parker—that gave it an advantage in the final two games of the series. Specifically, James's arduous work on the speedy 6-foot-2 Parker changed the series.
Parker hit just nine of his 35 shots (25.7%) over the last two games, when James often covered him. He'd shot 38-of-77 (49.3%) in the five games prior to that. "He probably lost 12 to 15 pounds in this playoff run, he expended so much energy," said Miami coach Erik Spoelstra.
Simply put, James has made clear these past two seasons that he's on a completely different level from his contemporaries. And with Thursday's championship—and James's outsize part in it—he's opened the door to a larger conversation about where he'll measure up in the larger sense.

A LazyCarousel component in 80 lines of code
I blogged about how we built a LazyCarousel on top of the existing carousel.
You can easily built infinite carousels on top of it. Here is one example with a truly infinite calendar carousel (also linked from the posting)

Thanks cburgdorf !!
I was looking for something like this for an educational purpose (loading svg in a carousel)
One thing though : ain't bottom dots useless then ? Would it be possible to still have the corresponding dots (saying 6 or 7) but not loading them ?
13 Apr 2013 11:40 AM #4
Yes, they are absolutely useless and I basically just left them in for the demo to show that there are really only three items at any time. But you can easily set the indicator to false.
I'm not sure if you can trick the indicator to show a different number. Probably yes.

5 Insane Celebrity Product Endorsements by Historic Figures
#2. Ronald Reagan Did Cigarette Ads
The Man:
President of the United States from 1981-1989. He also enjoyed a filmography comparable to a real-life Troy McClure, starring in such bad films as Cattle Queen of Montana and Bedtime for Bonzo.
Via Lewiswaynegallery.com
SPOILER: They fuck that monkey.
The Endorsement:
OK, Reagan wasn't in politics yet when he did these ads, but he had to have been thinking about it -- they came out just a couple of years before he started getting into political activism. So what did he endorse? Lots and lots and lots of Chesterfield cigarettes.
Via Bellybuzzonline.com
"All my nieces and nephews are getting a carton of Chesterfields this year! SMOKE UP, JOHNNY!"
We like how they had to crudely draw a cigarette in his mouth that clearly wasn't there when he posed for the, uh, painting. "What is that, Chesterfield? I'm not putting that shit in my mouth. Just paint one in, Picasso."
Also, just think of how many more kids were able to follow First Lady Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign thanks to her husband kicking off children's literacy by introducing us to the ABC's of smooth Chesterfield cigarettes:
Via Tjsrecords.com
"Kids, whenever you feel tempted by drugs, just smoke a whole carton of Chesterfields instead."
Did It Work?
Chesterfield's new home at Altria Group Inc., better known as the parent company previously known as Philip Morris Companies Inc., was able to spend more than $107 million on lobbying during the George W. Bush years alone, so they appear to be all right. It's all about making the right friends early.
#1. Bob Dole Advertises for Viagra, and Everything Else
The Man:
War hero. Former Senate Majority Leader. Referred to himself in the third person. He was Gerald Ford's running mate in the 1976 election, and the Republican nominee for president in 1996. Also, much like Gerald Ford, he had a tendency to fall down on camera.
"Who's the fucking corpse who built this shitty rail?!"
Dole was in his mid-70s when he got out of the politics game, so as a well-to-do, pro-business politician in retirement, he would have had all kinds of options. He could either go the classy route (advertising fine suits, or maybe a line of expensive scotch for the country club Republican market) or appeal to the seniors (advertise for the AARP, or that necklace that lets you call an ambulance when you break a hip).
There are lots of dignified options for a man of his stature, and he surely wasn't hurting for money (after leaving politics he worked in a high-end law firm and hit the lucrative public speaking circuit). The man could pick his opportunities.
"I've got a boner right now."
The Endorsement:
Viagra. The erectile dysfunction drug. For your penis.
In 1999, at the age of 75, he made what has to be one of the ballsiest endorsement decisions in the history of advertising. Bob Dole took to the cameras and essentially said, "I'm pushing 80, and I don't get the boners like I used to. But trust me, I still like to have naked boner sex with the ladies. Are you picturing me having sex now? No? How about now? Are you picturing my balls?"
"Nice sign. Mind if I fuck it?"
Dole was a funny guy, always willing to make jokes at his own expense. So when he went on a run of advertisements all around that same time, it wasn't clear if he really needed the money (due to some gambling debts or something), or if he just wanted to stay in the public eye, or if he just thought it was hilarious.
Whatever the reason, Dole would start turning up in more ads than Michael Jordan, pitching Visa, Dunkin' Donuts and Pepsi-Cola in an advertising campaign that put his presidential campaign to shame.
Did It Work?
Yes and hell yes. Bob Dole's new career as a commercial spokesman not only put a rocket in addition to some extra money in his pocket, but he eventually got to share a Super Bowl commercial with Britney Spears in 2002 for Pepsi. Sure enough, the commercial included a not-so-subtle reference to how Bob Dole was now the proud owner of a medically induced, rock-hard penis.
Yeah, it's not a Nobel Prize, but at least it's something that both he and the Mrs. can be proud about.

New Rules for School Lunches
Jan. 25, 2012 -- For the first time in 15 years, the National School Lunch Program has raised nutrition standards.
The new rules mean kids will see more fruits and vegetables every day. Portions will be smaller. Only low-fat or skim milk will be served. There will be a lot more whole grains. And schools will get more money -- an extra six cents a meal -- from the federal government.
But Congress in 2011 forbade the USDA from limiting servings of potatoes. The law also allows schools to count the tomato paste on pizza as a vegetable. But Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says that won't throw a monkey wrench into the new standards.
"It was a bit unfortunate that some groups had powerful friends in Congress and basically tried to sort of short-change [kids] and create some confusion with these standards," Vilsack said at a news conference. "Our response was to set up minimum requirements. You have to have a minimum level of dark green vegetables, you've got to have a minimum level of red or orange or yellow vegetables."
Celebrity chef Rachael Ray, who joined Vilsack in announcing the new standards, says the potato/pizza loopholes won't keep the new rules from making school lunches healthier.
"OK, so congress left pizza a vegetable. But we are changing the game today," Ray said. "That [lunch] tray is going to have leafy greens and colorful fruit on it. If one of the other vegetables happens to be pizza or French fries in some schools that day, it doesn't negate the fact that on the tray there is going to be a goal, depending on grade level, of roughly 800 calories -- and it will include vegetables and fruits."
Vilsack said that schools will be encouraged to serve baked or roasted potatoes instead of French fries.
About 32 million U.S. kids eat school lunches. Many of these kids get half their daily calories from these meals.
New School Lunch Rules
Today's rules mean that school lunches must:
- Offer a minimum of 8 to 10 ounces of whole grains. No more than two desserts a week may be used to meet this minimum
- Offer at least a half cup per week of dark green vegetables
- Offer at least 3/4 cup red/orange vegetables for grades K-8, and at least 1 1/4 cups in grades 9-12
- Offer at least a half cup of beans or peas
- Offer at least a half cup of starchy vegetables. There is no limit on starchy vegetables
- Offer at least a half cup of fruit in grades K-8 and at least 1 cup of fruit in grades 9-12
- Offer at least a half cup (grades K-8) or 3/4 cup (grades 9-12) of "other vegetables," which may be met with any of the above vegetables except for starchy vegetables
- Allow tofu as a meat alternative
- Get federal reimbursement only if they offer at least a half cup of a fruit or vegetable
- Contain no fewer than 550 calories for grades K-5, 600 calories for grades 6-8, and 750 calories for grades 9-12
- Contain no more than 650 calories for grades K-5, 700 calories for grades 6-8, and 850 calories for grades 9-12
- Obtain less than 10% of total calories from saturated fat
- Have zero trans fat
- Limit salt according to grade level
- Offer at least a cup of low-fat or skim milk

Henry Van Dam Wins Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic; Hand, Landers, And T. Swaim Also Earn Wins
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Madman Photography)
In front of a packed house Cottage Grove Speedway would host the Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic as well as Aesthetic Surgical Arts Ladies Night on Saturday May 31st. Classes on tap at the ¼-mile clay oval were the Huddle Automotive Repair 360 Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Hornets.
In the Huddle Automotive Repair 360 Sprints $4,100.00 was on the line to win the feature and attracted thirty Sprint Cars from the states of Oregon, Washington, California, and the Canadian Province of British Columbia. The main event would also be ran for forty-one laps in honor of the late Marvin Smith.
At the drop of the green flag Enumclaw, Washington's Henry Van Dam would pace the field. Lapped traffic started to come in the picture several times but with cautions occurring every five or six laps the majority of the field would stay on the lead lap. Things would spice up on a restart on lap thirty with Chico, California's Kyle Hirst making a breathtaking move to the bottom of the race track to seize the top spot on lap thirty-four.
Hirst, driving for Scott and Jason Finley in the Finley Farms/CLT Logging/Carlson Trucking/Rider Racing Engines #77 Maxim, would have his hands full as Van Dam would not let him out of his sights. Van Dam and Hirst would remain side by side for several with Van Dam utilizing the bottom of the track and Hirst the top. As one driver would seize the lead the other would perform a slide job in the next turn to take it right back.
After Van Dam was able to secure the lead on lap thirty-six Hirst tried to get it back but would go off the top of turn four nearly getting into the front stretch wall. Able to avoid disaster Hirst would get back on track brushing Stanwood, Washington's Jared Peterson, who was running third. The set of events would allow Van Dam to cruise to the victory to earn his first career Grove Classic win and the first time that he has won at CGS since September of 2011. It was also the first triumph of 2014 for Henry and his Kovash Logging/Johansen Excavating/FK Shocks/Big Al Kids & Motorsports Foundation #33V A.R.T.
A respectable second was Kyle Hirst followed by Jared Peterson, in the Roger Henderson owned Island Muffler and Brake/Cascade Metal Recycling/Bailey Brothers Performance Center #7N KPC, in third. The balance of the top five would consist of Quilcene, Washington's J.J. Hickle in his Meyer Electric/Go Fast Stuff/Speedmart Inc. #3 XXX in fourth while fifth would go to the Cook Crane Corporation/Linder Powdercoating/Speedmart Inc./Rodgers Racing Engines #22 KPC of Garen Linder from Central Point.
Picking up the Jim's Tire Factory quick time award was Henry Van Dam while four heat races were contested. Winners in the heats were Garen Linder, Colin Baker of Cottage Grove driving for car owner Hedge Carter and the Hedge Carter Continuous Gutter Service/Oregon West RV/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply/Huddle Automotive Repair #71 XXX, Cottage Grove's Dale Smith in the Marvin Smith Auto Repair/Body Works Salon #41 Maxim for car owner Kim Smith, and Kyle Hirst. Picking up the win in the Trophy Dash was Henry Van Dam while the Napa Auto Parts of Klamath Falls/Lucas Oil Products/Lonnie's Auto Body/Rodgers Racing Engines #5N Maxim of Seth Nunes from Medford was the consolation feature winner. A fan favorite contest was held with the winner being Dale Smith.
In the IMCA Modified feature Ricky Ashley from Thurston was the car to beat for much of the race in the BC Motorsports/Clark Printing Company/Todd's Auto Body #41 Williamson. Ashley would lead for much of it until Cottage Grove's Braedon Hand would pass him. Hand would lead the rest of the distance to earn his third win of the season and his second consecutive visit to victory lane in his D&D Automotive/Vintage Inn Family Restaurant/KNND 1400 AM/RDH Racing #5 Shaw by S.D.M.F. entry.
Ashley would be a respectable second followed by Tom Berry Jr. from Medford in the Berry's Oak Grove Storage/B.R.E. Race Cars/Bilstein Shocks/Hilltop Excavation & Construction #11X B.R.E. in third. The Dog House Racing/Payroll Specialties Inc./Hoppes Construction/Schram Brothers Excavating #M1 Impressive of Jacksonville chauffeur Mark Wauge was fourth while fifth went to Troy McElroy of Shady Cove in the Left Coast Motorsports/BSB Manufacturing/Siskiyou Pump Service/Rocket Designs #57M Swartz.
Earning the Jim's Tire Factory quick time award was Dave Duste Jr. from Central Point in his Dusty's Transmissions/R.C. Machine Shop/Bee Sign/Quality Tire #73M Lightning. Heat race winners were Braedon Hand and Cottage Grove's Curtis Towns in the X-Factor Race Cars/West End Performance/Valley Rose Construction/IBEW Local 280 #24 X-Factor while picking up the Trophy Dash win was Towns.
The Street Stock feature was a great race. Evan Britton of Cottage Grove was the car to beat for several laps. Britton would set the pace in his Dot's Trophy Shop/Ollivant Timber Management/Howell Logging/Gilkison & Dad Inc. #85 Nova. Unfortunately he would get sideways on lap nine while leading.
That would give the top spot to two-time champion T.J. Langan of Fall Creek making a rare appearance and driving his father Tom's D&L Truck Parts/Engine Research Development #74 Nova. Langan would lead for much of the remainder until Matt King would make a move for the lead. King would obtain the position and cross the stripe first in his Mid-Valley Metal Recycling/Warp Graphix/King Racing #7K Oldsmobile.
However once post-race inspections were concluded several entries were disqualified giving the win to the Swan & Sons Woodworking/Smart Solutions #17Z Camaro of Ethan Landers from Bend. Earning the Jim's Tire Factory quick time award was Ethan Landers while earning the victory in heat race and Trophy Dash action was T.J. Langan.
In the Hornet feature Chris Pierce would lead early in his #28 Chevy Cavalier. But on lap three he would lose the lead to Taunton Swaim of Dexter. Swaim, driving for owner Randy Kuhl in the Bigg Dogg Recycling/DT Machine & Fabrication/Big B Tire/Rapid Delivery Services #17 Toyota Tacoma, would lead the rest of the distance of the caution free main event to earn his third win at CGS in 2014.
Chris Pierce was second while crossing the wire in third was Cottage Grove's James Deatherage in his D&D Automotive/Furniture Options/BC Motorsports/Harris Machine & Design #7D Chevy Cavalier. Eric Cooper, also of Cottage Grove, was fourth in the Eastside Rollforming Specialties #32 Nissan 200SX while the Burnett Builders/Thela's Custom Jewelry #7C Nissan 200SX of Westfir driver Josh Corley was fifth.
Earning the Jim's Tire Factory quick time award was Chris Pierce. Heat races were won by James Deatherage and Veneta's Joe Maricle in the Maricle Stainless #11 Honda Civic DX entry with the Marvin Smith Auto Repair/Body Works Salon/Bigg Dogg Recycling #41 Honda Prelude of Jim Simmons from Cottage Grove winning in the Trophy Dash.
Cottage Grove Speedway will be back in action next Saturday June 7th for Kid's Night at the Races. All Children 12 and Under get into the races for FREE.

MEXIA (October 22, 2012)—Three vacant houses burned to the ground and a fourth sustained damage in a Sunday night fire just west of Mexia.
Mexia Fire Department Training Officer and EMS Director Mike Clements said firefighters from Mexia, Lake Mexia, Mexia State School, Wortham and Tehaucana battled the blaze for more than three hours before it was declared out.
The first units to arrive just before 7:30 p.m. Sunday on Farm-to-Market 2838, about four miles west of Mexia, reported one house fully engulfed and the houses on either side beginning to burn.
The older houses, all wood frame, burned quickly and could not be saved, Clements said.
A fourth house suffered damage when the roof caught fire but firefighters were able to contain that blaze to the roof.
Clements said the biggest problem fighting the fire was a lack of a water system, so the volunteer departments had to set up a supply line using their tankers to get water to the pumpers.
The destroyed houses all were owned by the same man, who also lives in an adjacent home.
Clements said no cause for the blaze has been established.

I am trying to create a small CMS with ASP.NET MVC3, but I got confused in designing the administrator section.
I decided to create two areas, one for users and another for admin. In my CMS I have a
Post and a
News object, and I want to put create/edit/delete functions in the admin area and other function that related to users in the user area to achieve functionality
in my CMS. For example I have two
NewsController, one in the admin area (include create/edit/delete functions) and another in the user area (include
preview(id) function).
Is this design good? How can I improve it?
