Kelly Dwyer
Did Guy Fieri help lure Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors?Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 11 hrs ago
Food Network personality Guy Fieri is a Bay Area native and, because the Golden State Warriors are awesome now, a fixture at Warriors games. We doubt very much that he was as big of a fan of the team when they basically started a quadraphonic big man starting lineup (alongside Vonteego Cummings) during the lean years, but we welcome him and his unnecessary indoor sunglasses on the bandwagon.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
The Warriors made the biggest splash in the NBA this offseason in adding 2013-14 NBA MVP Kevin Durant to a lineup that had already set the NBA record for wins in a season in 2015-16, prior to falling just short of an NBA championship. According to Fieri, he was a champion of the move long before it was consummated, much in the same way that he was way, way ahead of the game in glopping BBQ sauce all over an already-tortured California roll.

Carmelo Anthony wants nothing to do with a Team USA singalongKelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 12 hrs ago
Rarely mentioned in the usual Larry/Isiah/MJ-led discussions about how current NBA players aren't mean enough to each other these days is the influence of international tournament camaraderie. It's not just social media, changing societal norms about tact, poise and reason, or AAU play that bonds these guys. Every two years, a big crew of them gets to go on an award tour to bring home the gold.

For the Team USA Men's Basketball Team, heading to Houston for one more exhibition game prior to the 2016 Olympics, the journey has begun. And so have the plane rides. And so has the chance for Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Kyrie Irving and others to start a team singalong to a Vanessa Carlton song.
A song that, to paraphrase DeMar DeRozan, Carmelo Anthony (via Deadspin) just isn't having any of it:

Phil Jackson: Modern players 'lack the skills to play the triangle'
It's not an uncommon refrain, among NBA lifers of a certain age, and they're not always wrong in cuing up the chorus. The game has evolved, or devolved to certain eyes, and players are capable of as many new things as they aren't capable of older tenets that were at one time integral to how the game was played in decades past.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
Rare is the older observer, however, that pins his perception on a single style of play. In this case, as is usually the case, it's New York Knicks president Phil Jackson. The man that grew up playing under Bill Fitch and Red Holzman's pass-heavy offenses prior to falling in love with Tex Winter's triangle offense during the mid-1980s (after being hired to work alongside Winter as a Chicago Bulls assistant coach) doesn't think modern players are suited for the offense he'd hoped to bring to New York.
Q – Okay. Let's turn to the Knicks. There's been a lot of criticism in the media about how ineffectively the team is running the triangle. Why is this so?
It's just more of the same, even as the game changes.

Jimmy Butler doesn't mind being left in the dark with trade rumors
On the NBA's 2016 draft night, for the first hour of the proceedings at least, the name on everyone's lips was "Jimmy Butler." Everyone knew Ben Simmons would be taken No. 1 overall by Philadelphia, Woj already had picks 1-through-19 (all 19-year olds, incidentally) tweeted out, but just about every other tweet besides those in the moments leading up to the draft had the Chicago Bulls swingman potentially on his way toward either Boston or, in a new twist, a Minnesota Timberwolves team fronted by ex-Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
Chicago fans were apoplectic at the thought of dealing a player who averages over 20 points while playing standout defense for a prospect that someday could average over 20 points while playing standout defense, but such is the lack of faith Bulls fans have in their team's front office that many expected a deal to eventually be agreed upon.
"That has nothing to do with me,'' Butler said on Thursday. "I don't move guys. Just like I always say – people are going to think what they want to think.''

LeBron James ordered a pizza with 16 different toppings
LeBron James is allowed to eat whatever the heck he wants. He averaged nearly 42 minutes per game during his brilliant MVP turn in last season's NBA Finals win, he's already played more minutes than several NBA luminaries that retired in their mid-to-late 30s (LeBron is 31), and he burns more calories before tip-off than most people do all day.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
This, however, via his Facebook page (and our pals at Reddit) is something else:
LeBron's Facebook caption reminded us to never "order while starving." He also added a side salad.
"High-rise dough" and spicy marinara with mozzarella? That's a typical start to things, a pie usually then topped off with pepperoni and mushroom (or, for the gut-watching NBA player, grilled chicken and spinach) before ending the order.
Nah. Not for The King. He's come a long way since asking for well-done steaks, pre-cut for him.

Pat Riley says new addition Dion Waiters is worth more than he signed forKelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 2 days ago
Pat Riley says Dion Waiters is not worth the contract Riley's Miami Heat just signed Waiters to. We'll leave it up to you as to whether or not you personally think Waiters is worth less or more than the $2.9 million "room exception" Waiters agreed to earlier this week, but we can tell you that Pat Riley sees Waiters as a player far better than the $2.9 million he'll play for in 2016-17.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
Riley said as much recently while introducing his newest swingman, one that will be counted on to help make up for the loss of veterans like Luol Deng and Joe Johnson, alongside the shocking departure of Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade.
And Dion? Dion is ready to set sail:

Kings GM Vlade Divac on Rudy Gay: 'He has my number.'Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 2 days ago
NBA players have to walk a delicate line, just as team executives do. Even the least-committed of end-of-bench players would still like to be in the loop when it comes to the front office's personnel plans, as even minor moves can cost them playing time, chances at better statistics (and the resulting better contract) or, at worst, removal from the roster.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
Then there are the middling players, the near-stars. The guys with trade value that you still wouldn't mind keeping on the roster. Players like Sacramento's Rudy Gay, who recently revealed that (like the rest of us) he has "no idea" what is going on with the Kings' personnel plans moving forward.
"He has my number."
That is to say, "no excuses. Text or call me if you need me, guy." Completely understandable, right?
Well, Vlade then followed up with this:

George Hill learned about his trade to Utah via a voicemail from Larry BirdKelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 12 days ago
The NBA moves fast. It's a league dominated by individual players, and the resulting movement. If you're not up on everything, you'll fall behind; and Woj and Shams already know what you're having for dinner. On August 18th.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
This is why it's understandable that Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird left a voicemail for former Pacers guard George Hill to inform him that he'd been dealt away from his hometown team and to the Utah Jazz. If Bird hadn't left that voicemail, the thinking goes, Hill would have to hear the news via Twitter, website, a TV station's ticker, or any number of text messages asking "Utah?"
Via 8 Points, 9 Seconds, here's Hill's side of things from a talk with Vigilant Sports:
Again, Larry Bird had to say something , right?

Dwight Howard thinks his back woes are over 'for the rest of my career'Kelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 13 days ago
Dwight Howard underwent back surgery in 2012, and co-incidentally or not he hasn't looked like the same player since. Back and knee issues limited him to half a season in 2014-15, his penultimate year with the Houston Rockets, and though Howard only missed 11 games in his final season with Houston in 2015-16, his presence wasn't enough to pair with James Harden and turn the Rockets into the championship contender they should have been.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
In response, the Rockets hired former Howard nemesis Mike D'Antoni as coach during the offseason prior to watching Dwight move back home to Atlanta and the Hawks' offer of a three-year, $70.5 million deal.
And his back? Dwight doesn't want to hear about it. He'll be fine, he says. From Steve Hummer at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Will his health hold up, specifically a back that was surgically repaired in 2012 (he also missed 52 games in his first two seasons in Houston with a variety of ailments, mostly knee)?
Wait, what?
Pat Riley discusses Miami's 'tough summer,' divorce from Dwyane WadeKelly Dwyer at Ball Don't Lie 14 days ago
Pat Riley says he still has not spoken with Dwyane Wade, a three-time titlist with the Miami Heat that left the team after 13 years to join the Chicago Bulls as a free agent earlier in July. The Heat president, now entering his 22nd season with that title, says he has only begun to draft a long email to his longtime superstar, as yet unsent.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
As organizations tend to do while burying the bad news, Riley faced the media on Saturday afternoon for his first official offseason press conference of the free agent season. Unsolicited, Riley dove right into the "great regret" that he has for not doing all he could to keep Wade in Miami, even though such a separation (while unseemly in the interim) might be in Riley's franchise's best interests eventually.
From Barry Jackson at the Miami Herald:
Wow. That must be some hell of an email to look forward to.
wade: ill sign w the bucks
riley: ok
wade (goes to door): ill do it!

Example sentences
- Late in the twelfth century stories of the Holy Grail began to be written in France.
- Arthur uses the Grail to help his knights focus on something good, rather than fighting amongst themselves.
- And what is King Arthur without Excalibur and the quest for the Holy Grail?
2A thing that is being earnestly pursued or sought after: profit has become the holy grail
More example sentences
- At the base of this corner, whose solid rock beckoned me like the Grail, a dozen saplings, all less than wrist size in diameter, spring directly from the only holds on the face.
- You know, he's the Holy Grail and the Holy Grail of course is world peace.
- For the past half century the Holy Grail of physics has been the search for a final Theory of Everything.
From Old French graal, from medieval Latin gradalis 'dish'.

I'm a newcomer to wordpress and have been trying to use a different theme (Daily Misery) than the classic one provided but can't get it uploaded from the new theme viewer. I don't understand the message when I go to the page and try the command "upload theme" on the toolbar.
I was working with the following instructions but couldn't find Daily Misery on the codex list.
To select the active theme for your site:
1. Log in to the WordPress Administration Panels.
2. Select the Presentation subpanel.
3. From the Select column in the table, click on Select for the theme you wish to activate.
4. To view the new look, click View Site at the top of the Panel's screen.
Your selection should immediately become active.
Somehow I can't get choices to include Daily Misery on THEMES in the PRESENTATION subpanel. Nor do I get the select choice from a list of themes. I was able to download a file from Daily Misery which I have on my desktop, but did not have the UPLOAD THEME choice. Do I have to reload through FTP. I understood from BLUEHOSTING that a theme was only a click away.

Leuke locatie dichtbij alles, restaurants, ijssalons, metro tram. Met kinderwagen 3verdiepingen traplopen is minder maar voor de rest leuke appartement.
very nice and clean appartement, very friendly host, nice area
The apartment, that needs to be a little bit refreshed, is big enough for 4 persons and it's equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Bed linen and towels are provided and are in excellent conditions. Very convenient for Fiera Milano and San Siro stadium, with a short metro ride you are in the center of Milano. Filiberto and Marcello are very fair and helpful persons.
It was a pleasure to rent an apartment from Filiberto. He and his friend are a two nice guys.
The apartment doesn't look so great like on the pictures, but is clean, has a wifi, Milan maps, useful informations, clean towels, hair dryer, shower gels and many more what the tourist needs.
We had a problem with the order a taxi (they don't speak english) - Filiberto was very helpful and he had done it for us.
I truly recomend this guy.

Der Empfang war sehr nett. Das Studio-Appartement im 3. OG liegt nicht weit weg von Porta Venezia UBahn. Eigentlich war es eine nette Aufenthalt, es war angemessen ausgestattet aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass es kleiner als 30 m² ist. Ich finde persönlich dieViale Regina Giovanna sehr laut in der Nacht. Der große Kühlschrank hat mir gut gefallen. Milano war super!
The reception was very nice. The studio apartment located on the 3rd floor is not far away from Porta Venezia subway. Actually, it was a nice stay, it was adequately equipped but I have the impression that it is less than 30 m². I personally think that the Viale Regina Giovanna is very noisy at night. I liked the large fridge.Milan was incredible!
The location of the apartment is really convenient. It is a walking distance from Porta Venezia station, supermarket and the shopping boutiques. The apartment and its facilities were satisfactory & the staff were really helpful. Overall, my family is pleased with our stay! Will recommend to anyone especially with family who is looking for accommodation in Milan.
It was a nice appartment and a perfect location by the canal, where you could find different places to eat and drink.

Fischer: We Need "Men Of Christian Faith" In Military So God Can Give Them Winning Battle Plans
On today's radio broadcast, Bryan Fischer explained that the strength of our military is entirely dependent upon the Christian strength of the nation and declared that "men of Christian faith" need to be in positions of authority within the military because God will give them winning battle plans:
Our military strength is a function of our spiritual strength. We can have the strongest and mightiest military in the world in terms of guns and ammunition and tanks and soldiers, but if we are not spiritually strong as a people, we can be defeated, we can and will suffer defeat. So it is absolutely critical for us who care about this nation, who care about the United States, to say "look, we have got to be spiritually strong as a people if we are going to be militarily strong."
That's why it is so important that we have in the military men of faith, men of Christian faith, who are in touch with God and with the spirit of God. Because when they come together to formulate battle plans, their minds are going to be quickened by the Holy Spirit of God and under his nudgings, his promptings, they're going to be able to develop battle plans that are going to lead to victory on the field of conflict.

We're almost positive Rubber is one of the most unique films you'll see this year. The story follows a tire—a non-living tire—called Robert. It's an abandoned piece of rubber that somehow miraculously comes to life. Wait, before you even give off that "seriously?" expression, let us tell you, not only does this tire roam around the desert at its own will, but it possesses telepathic forces that take the head-bursting effects of 1981's Scanners to a whole new level. Directed by acclaimed French house musician, Quentin Dupieux, a.k.a Mr. Oizo, those who have seen this film applaud its distinctive features and occasional humor, despite its bizarre plot. The film hits select theaters on April 1, but it'll be available on demand from February 25. Peep the trailer.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Parenting Adolescents with Autism
While educators are struggling to find a way to better serve these students, more parents are struggling to cope with their child's adolescence as well. This goes well beyond the typical acting out or sullen behavior many teens express. They are not retreating from parent control and wanting more time with friends; they often have no friends. Their school experience is more threatening than ever before. They may not feel safe, and may come home with heightened sensitivity, anger, and sadness. Teens with autism have difficulty expressing how alone and frightened they feel. Many regress into the interests they had when they were younger, or spend their time in repetitive activities, attempting to control their world in the simplest of ways. They are more easily angered, which is common with any form of depression. And as lonely as they report they are, they desperately seem want to be left alone.
How do we help them? What are the goals when assessing the need of such a diverse group of teens? This is not an easy question to answer. Individuals with autism have very different characteristics. They range from being nonverbal to very expressive. Some struggle with the simplest of social interactions, while others interact readily but inappropriately. Behavioral challenges can range from refusing to make eye contact to physical aggression. Compulsive behavior can be as simple as wanting their desk arranged the same way each day or as complex as body rocking or repeating the same sentence over and over.
There is no single answer, but multiple approaches to consider.
Make It Visual
For teens with autism, it is important to bring predictability to their school and community experience. Often parents have figured out how to make the home environment consistent. When something new is going to happen in the family (e.g., holidays, new furniture, a new pet, landscaping), they understand how to prepare their child. School and community changes often come rapidly and without warning, but there are basic strategies that can help make even these situations more predictable.
People on the autism spectrum are visual learners, and visual supports are often the first step in bringing predictability to any social environment. This may be a schedule of the school day, or a schedule that delineates the sequence of events that will happen in a single classroom. For some students, a new activity that is coming up in a class (e.g. a science experiment) may be explained step by step in an activity schedule. For many on the autistic spectrum, becoming lost in an activity leads to a chain reaction of decompensation. The entire environment can seem threatening, and they retreat within themselves or want to leave.

We're only using half the amount of lime needed despite its huge benefits
Published 30/01/2013 | 06:00
Lime is a vital nutrient and must be applied where required if farm productivity is to be maintained. Where the soil pH drops in either grassland or tillage crops it will result in poor utilisation of applied fertilisers and organic manures.
Phosphorus is the most expensive nutrient and its availability is very sensitive to low soil pH. In grassland it will result in poor recycling of soil mineral nitrogen (N) and poor survival of productive perennial ryegrass and clover swards. In cereal crops the most sensitive crop to low soil pH is barley followed by wheat.
Liming soils has many indirect beneficial effects such as soil structure. For example, liming an acid soil increases the population of bacteria, fungi and earthworms, which are responsible for the breakdown of soil organic matter. The decomposition of soil organic matter will assist in soil crumb formation and improve the environment for plant root development and nutrient uptake. It is widely recognised that liming heavy soils improves soil structure and reduces stickiness, lightens cultivations and makes it easier to prepare a satisfactory seedbed.
Lime removal
Lime is continually being lost from the soil and needs to be maintained as part of a nutrient management programme. For example, drainage water can remove approximately 250-625kg/ha/yr depending on the soil type. Light, free-draining soils will lose lime more quickly than heavy retentive soils. Therefore, light land needs extra attention, especially where the soil is not a limestone soil. Crops and livestock also remove lime. For example, a crop of first-cut silage can remove approximately 190kg/ha/yr.
Lime applications
The application of lime has declined from over 1.5m tonnes per year in the 1970s and early 1980s to around 0.5-0.8m tonnes in the past decade. In order to reduce soil acidity and maintain adequate lime status we should be applying in the region of 1.5m tonnes annually.
That means that we are only applying between 30pc to 50pc of our annual requirement, which is needed to maintain an adequate soil pH level throughout Ireland.
Farmer soil samples tested through Teagasc reflect this reduction in lime usage as 60pc of grassland soils are below a soil pH 6.0 and 40pc of tillage soils are below a soil pH 6.5. Lime is being forgotten about on Irish farms and the postponement of lime applications will only build up future soil problems and add to the costs of production.
Maintaining the correct soil pH will increase the microbiological activity of the soil and will result in a whole series of responses.
For example:-
1.Applied fertilisers will give a better response on soils maintained at the correct soil pH. Where two bags of 0:10:20 are applied on well-limed soils, it will give the same return as three bags spread on land needing lime;
2.The more productive and high yielding perennial rye grasses will thrive resulting in maximum sward productivity;
3.When lime is applied to land with a low soil pH the equivalent of two bags of 27pc N will be released each year for several years. This is due to the beneficial effects of liming on soil life (eg, bacteria, earthworms etc) and better nutrient recycling from soil sources.
Soil Analysis & Liming
Routine soil sampling should be carried out once every three to five years to check soil pH and apply lime where required. Soil laboratory analysis will tell us exactly the amount of lime to apply and is the most reliable method to determine the lime for your particular soil type.
Lime and Fertilisers
Generally when a crop is performing poorly it is attributed to a shortage of one of the major nutrients, such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) or magnesium (Mg). Lime can be overlooked, yet its effect on the efficient use of both minor and major nutrients is enormous because of its effect on soil pH.
Fertilisers are now a significant proportion of production costs and we must look at the soil pH in order to maximise the return from every kilogramme of applied N, P and K. For maximum return from applied nutrients it's essential to maintain soil pH within the optimum range pH 6.5-7.0 for tillage crops and pH 6.3-6.5 for grassland soils.
Timing of Lime application
Ground limestone can be applied at any convenient time of the year. For lime-sensitive crops such as beet, cereals and maize, apply lime two years before sowing. If lime has not been applied it should be spread after spring ploughing so that it can react with the soil and be thoroughly mixed with soils during spring cultivations.
In grassland, apply lime and keep grazing animals off the grass until the lime is well washed in.
In silage land, apply before mid-March for first cut or within one week after cutting on land being closed for a second cut.
Liming and slurry applications
Applying slurry on recently limed soils should be avoided as it will result in a loss of nitrogen through accelerated ammonia volatilisation. Where lime is applied, slurry should not be applied until the lime is well washed into the soil. The same holds true for lime and urea applications – avoid spreading urea on recently limed soils to reduce the loss of N.
Liming and Grass Reseeding
Lime is an essential for good grass production and is a basic requirement during grass seedling establishment. In addition, sufficient lime levels are required to maintain good grasses and clovers growing in the sward. Grass reseeding offers a good opportunity to correct acid soils. Identify fields that are to be reseeded in the current year and apply lime in advance of reseeding. This will give plenty of time for the lime to be washed in and will also assist with the breakdown of the turned-in sod.
Where lime recommendations are greater than 7.5t/ha, half of the lime should be applied now and the remainder applied at reseeding time. Early lime application will help insure against poor grass establishment and yield.
Cost of Lime
Lime costs in the region of €22/t (delivered and spread). Based on this price lime only costs €8-10/ac/yr to maintain the soil's pH status once it has been brought to satisfactory level. It's a small annual cost to incur.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Former U.S. national pro cycling champion Kirk O'Bee has received a lifetime suspension for a second doping offense.
O'Bee, who spent the 2000 season on Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team, received his first suspension after testing positive for testosterone when he won the national pro criterium title in 2001. He also won national titles in 1997 and 2007.
His lifetime ban stems from an arbitration decision released Wednesday that upheld a positive EPO test from May 2009. The arbitration panel also upheld evidence obtained by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that reflected O'Bee had actually committed a second doping offense, using EPO and human growth hormone, by 2005. All his records since 2005, including his 2007 national title, have been forfeited.
O'Bee became the fifth cyclist to be sanctioned by USADA since Aug. 10, as the sport stays under the microscope for a number of drug-related issues crossing continents.
Last week, three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador was provisionally suspended by the International Cycling Union for a doping violation. Also, Italy's anti-doping prosecutor, Ettore Torri, told The Associated Press he was convinced that all cyclists are doping.
Meanwhile, U.S. prosecutors have summoned several of Armstrong's former friends and cycling colleagues to provide information for an investigation into doping in the sport.
Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times from 1999 to 2005 and became a more important figure to federal investigators after former teammate Floyd Landis admitted to doping and accused Armstrong among others of cheating, which Armstrong denies.

I'm looking for a solution (software and hardware) that allows me to stream the computer audio and possibly the video too to a device which I can connect to my stereo or TV.
I'm not interested in solutions based on AirPlay since this requires you to use iTunes.
Other solutions use VLC – the thing is: Those do stream content (a file), but I want to stream the general audio output, so if I'm watching a YouTube video (or Vimeo, or a Skype call) I want to hit a button and then I have the sound sent to my stereo.

The foregoing rule (Article 23 of the Annex of the IVth Hague Convention), does not prohibit such use, but does prohibit their improper use. It is certainly forbidden to make use of them during a combat. Before opening fire upon the enemy, they must be discarded ". The American Soldiers' Handbook, which was quoted by Defence Counsel, says: " The use of the enemy flag, insignia and uniform is permitted under some circumstances. They are not to be used during actual fighting, and if used in order to approach the enemy without drawing fire, should be thrown away or removed as soon as fighting begins ".

BACKGROUND: Many Australian native legumes grow in arid and nutrient-poor environments. Yet few Australian herbaceous legumes have been investigated for domestication potential. This study compared growth and reproductive traits, grain yield and seed composition of 17 native Australian legumes with three commercial grain legumes.
RESULTS: Seed yields of seven native legumes were > 40% of Cicer arietnum, with highest seed yields and harvest indices in Glycine sp. (14.4 g per plant, 0.54 g g−1) and Lotus cruentus (10.2 g per plant, 0.65 g g−1). Five native species flowered earlier than field pea (Pisum sativa) (109 days), though many were slower to flower and set seed. Largest seeds were found in Glycine canescens (17 mg), with seed of other native species 14 times smaller than commercial cultivars. Seed composition of many native legumes was similar to commercial cultivars (200–330 g protein kg−1 dry weight (DW), 130–430 g dietary fibre kg−1 DW). Two Cullen species had high fat content (>110 g kg−1 DW) and Trigonella sauvissima had the highest crude protein content (370 g kg−1 DW).
CONCLUSION: The seed composition and reproductive traits of some wild native Australian legumes suggest they could offer potential as grain crops for soils and environments where the current grain legumes are uneconomic. Further evaluation of genetic diversity, especially for seed size, overall productivity, and reproductive development is needed. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry

Foreclosure is the last thing on the mind of most homeowners, in spite of even them admitting of being late on their mortgage payments. Legally, foreclosure is the only imminent ending to such cases, but programs like GMAC Loan Modification readily come to the rescue of distressed homeowners.
After all, no homeowner in his right state of sense will want to forego his home. However, there is a way to reduce your monthly payment and lower the amount you currently owe to the bank.
Here are 5 things you should know about GMAC Loan Modification
1. It is there to help you avoid foreclosure. No doubt about that! That being said, the planning of how you wish to avoid foreclosures is entirely up to you. This program can only provide you with a blueprint.
2. Don't look for moratoriums – Moratorium time is the time given to homeowner where he does not have to pay back anything to the bank. Now, loan program does not ensure moratoriums, but they certainly can work to bring the interest rates and other variables down.
3. Be prepared to work with GMAC – When you approach them for help, you will find someone sitting with you and working through your finances to work out a plan. Uncomfortable questions may be asked, but you need to answer all of them truthfully.
4. Fees are involved – this is not a free service. There are charges involved, but these charges are very moderate when you take into account the high fees you would have had to pay your attorney for preparing the legal papers.
Bottom-line, using GMAC Loan Modification to your advantage can definitely save you from potentially embarrassing situations in the future. If you wish to save your home from foreclosure and do not see any help coming your way, then this is the best stop for you.

speaking of what not to do,.........I am in a little trouble now, ha ha.girlfriend says we/I act like kids on these forums throwing mud at each other.
I think is is just to much wine and cheese watching the SuperBowl, or as she calls it the StupidBowl. What can you do, she is European.
And yes this one is off topic as well but, man. I am sooooo glad the Giants pulled that out! Same team winning over and over gets old fast.

I am sure you would know...The sad part is that no one even mentioned your screen name, at least not me. It was assumed that you were the point of the topic, by someone else.
How many pictures are posted on this site now? Do you know? You are not the only one, or maybe you think you are? I can play along just like anyone else can. From what I gathered, you assumed my post was entirely directed at you, and that may be giving yourself to much credit.
Look, talking trash on the internet by any of us can be both a good and bad thing, depending on how far people allow it to go. I for one rarely allow myself to hold a grudge, especially over very stupid stuff. And I will freely admit that I have started my share of topics over stupid stuff.
But it is a vent, no more and no less, just as much as I would hope that,.. others replies are as well. However, there are some that do harbor ill will towards others for no other reason then that is who they are truly as a person. But that is not me or who I am as an individual, regardless of what you may think or how you view some of my posts.
And at the same time, how many of us can claim that you/we are not the pot calling the kettle black?
I have had a few run-ins with some of the better local surfers over the years in the water. You know, i did not see them or they did not see me,.. that type of crap that happens once in awhile when the surf is good but the breaks are tight. But people get over that ****, and never, not once, have I ever allowed myself to be so shallow to not post there picture. And I can tell you that I have had a few encounters, and words said, that most would have deleted every thing they had of them, just out of spite. But that is not who I am. And I never will be. So say what you want, think what you want,..all I know is that it all comes back around. And so far I have been nothing but blessed for my efforts over the years, by giving of myself for others enjoyment and posterity. Because it is not about me, and it is not about you, it is about us and what we do to seek moments of peace in our world.
So before you cast that stone, know for a fact that I have already thrown mine, and it has already came back at me. My most sincere apologies to those of you who may have felt slighted by this tread.

Somebody's been dipping into the good drugs WAY too early in the morning....
Love it. Just one small thing. It is Huckabee that wants to change the Constitution to reflect the living word of God.
Don't confuse Republicans with republicans.
Ironically, it is the Republicans who have abandoned the real republicanism.
"Republicanism is the ideology of governing a nation as a republic, with an emphasis on liberty, rule by the people, and the civic virtue practiced by citizens. Republicanism always stands in opposition to aristocracy, oligarchy, and dictatorship. More broadly, it refers to a political system that protects liberty, especially by incorporating a rule of law that cannot be arbitrarily ignored by the government."
I'm a small "r" republican. Therefore, I have nothing but unbridled contempt for today's GOP. Oh, and it scares the crap out of me, too.
dude, that must be some bitchin pot you've got.
It is not Dem or Rep, left or right.

i take that comment i made last year about you being ignorant back completely. i now realize that you know a lot more than you let on mr party pants. don't hide that light under a bushel..
We all know that the extreme left and the extreme right meet up with each other on the dark side of the moon which results in tyranny. Adrains adolescent diatribe of sloppy reasoning and no historical perspective is astounding!
This is what I saw:
@ 17,
Except for the fact that Adrian is 1,000,000% correct, if not even more perhaps.
Dear Raindrop,
You're a fucking surplus. Surplus!
Although President David Palmer did have some attempts on his life, he was not actually assassinated until he left office.
@ 21,
Wasn't that the season where they had the whole "the president is a traitor" storyline? Can't imagine where they got the idea for that.
i'm torn on stuff like this. yeah, the modern GOP seems to be the jesuswackoparty. i have nothing against religious people (unlike some here), and actually like some of the republican ideals. just not those having to do with the religious morals of one group being imposed on another. since that's what they are all about these days, then they should be despised. but -- like some log cabin repubs -- it saddens me that the open forum for debate on other issues has to be closed because of the focus on one or two issues.
I somewhat agree with infrequent, other than the whole "rape the middle class" thing pisses me off in addition to the fundies... ooh and the Iraq war thing too.
Remember when 80 percent of America was upset about King George and rose up in revolt?
Yeah, we're almost there.
Suggestion: we, the literate (can read and speak complete sentences), progressive (believe in human rights, communal values, skeptical of unchecked capitalism), and politically active (we actually pay attention and vote) start doing all the research for the paperwork necessary for Canada, the people sympathetic to our plight who can assist us, start making plans, and have things in place, just in case.
If Huckabee and/or Romney end up on the Grand Oil Party's ticket, we ramp up and go from planning to active preparation.
(As for the tracking chips in passports, you can always use a hammer to crush them without making the passport unusable.)
@ 26,
Here ya go:
It can take anywhere from a few months to two years to get a visa, so start planning now. The Canadian border guards are likely to be hella suspicious if you show up with a car-load of your stuff on January 19th, 2009.
Every word of this post is true. And you didn't even mention that Republicans eat human flesh! And smell like pee! And have sex with their own family members! There is no limit to their cruelty and they MUST BE STOPPED at all costs!
From the link @27:
Canada offers refugee protection to people in Canada who fear persecution or who may be at risk of torture or cruel and unusual treatment or punishment, and are unwilling or unable to return to their home country.
Republicans are consistently more supportive of Israel and human rights than Democrats. The U.S.- Israel bond is of immense importance to freedom and the American way of life, and the war in Iraq has saved Israel, for the time being, from a terrible Arab tyranny. The only sensible next step is the Republican plan to take the war to Iran.
Anti-semitism is on the rise in the U.S. and worldwide, and Muslims in the United States will soon be able to out-vote the Jewish and most other ethnic lobbies. Any Jew would be a fool to support the appeasement policies of the Democrats.
They only love you because they think you're gonna touch off Armageddon and the Rapture, Josh....
As you once suggested, the time has come for me to shove all of my diamonds into a latex condom and cram it up my ass. I'll see you at the canadian border along with the Von Trapp Family singers ~ all of us wearing Laderhosen and singing "Climb Every Mountain"
Here is the best summary of American politics and the Democrats and Republicans I have seen in a very, very long time
On the Democratic side of things, Obama isn't such a bad guy, if we can get him to renounce terrorism and stop-fathering crack babies, which you didn't hear from the Hillary camp. Clinton, meanwhile, is being perhaps a little too feminine on the campaign trail, what with the cleavage and the crying, though his wife remains the shrill, cast-iron harpy we've all come to loathe and fear. John Edwards is dragging his poor sick wife across the country in a quest to improve health care. He stands on principle against any hedge fund of which he's not a partner. The rest of the Democratic field is a collection of sissies, malcontents, and nutjobs.
On the Republican side, meanwhile, Giuliani is a polygamist. No wait, that's McCain. Sorry, I meant Fred Thompson. Mitt Romney? No, he's a hard-working, family-oriented husband of one wife who stands for everything that made America great, except that he's in a Satanic cult. The one-time darling of the Libertarians, Ron Paul, used to own slaves. Mike Huckabee, meanwhile, seems to drive Peggy Noonan apoplectic, which is reason enough to recommend him. Someone just needs to stop him from channeling Herbert Hoover. The rest of the Republican field is a collection of conspiracy theorists, isolationists, and psychopaths.
As for policy positions, as best I can tell, the Democrats want to give most of the southwest U.S. to Mexico, and invite Muslim terrorists to publicly behead everyone making more than a million dollars a year, except for Steven Spielberg and George Soros. Republicans, meanwhile, want to kick anyone with a Mexican-sounding name out of the U.S., and conquer the entire Middle East so that Halliburton will have work after it kills all the porpoises while drilling for oil off the U.S. coast, which will soon be just east of Kansas City, as a result of the Bush-Reagan-Hitler global warming conspiracy.
Both parties are convinced that government is exceptionally skilled at doing things they want more of, and entirely incompetent when it comes to things they don't like. Every candidate is a candidate for change, using the failed ideas of the past, to create a brave new world for the children.

Purdy much nails it
So Obama will be shot? You're a jerk. And saying "God forbid" after you say Obama will be shot doesn't make you any less of a jerk. Your overall pessimism doesn't make you smart or serious or a beautiful loser. It just makes you a jerk. You jerk.
@8 could be, or is he off the "bad" drugs the "man" prescribed.
I'm sorry, I'm a little slow, but I didn't really understand this post. If it was supposed to be "edgy and sarcastic" you might leave that to Dan, he's good at it, this came off sounding (to me) like an incoherent rant.
Still, to my petite bourgeoisie ear, "Adrian" sounds much nicer than "Saloth"p.s. how did the interview with the secret service go?
Adrian wrote it, but we've all thought it. It only takes one nutjob with a rifle to shoot a man, even a president, and there are going to be plenty of nutjobs who react violently to a Black man in the white house. No one sensible wanted the shootings of MLK, RFK, Malcolm X, Olof Palme, Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin,etc., but it still happened. It sucked, but it happened.
I'm amazed that anyone with sufficiently reduced mental capacity as to believe that Dems and Repubs are "exactly the same" is capable of forming a sentence or typing.
If anyone is tempted by that idiotic argument (thanks, Mr. Nader) I have two names for you:
Ruth Ginsburg
John Paul Stevens
They are both sure to die in the next few years and will need to be replaced on the supreme court.
With a Hillary or Obama we *may* get a glorified corporate counsel, but at least they will be halfway human corporate counsels, with basic knowledge and respect of, the constitution.
With ANY of the GOP candidates, we will get some horrid "Christian" freak who wants to rededicate the nation to Christ or some such nonsense.
So think about that the next time you anyone tries to give you that retarded "Democrats and Republicans are all the same" bullshit.

A Robust Pseudo-Ternary Modulation Scheme for Filter-Less Digital Class D Amplifiers
This paper presents a new pseudo-ternary modulation scheme for bridge-tied-load digital class D amplifiers which is more robust versus output stage distortions compared to existing ternary modulations. The effects of finite rise and fall times and their mismatches have been introduced for a classical ternary modulation scheme, where a large degradation of the dynamic range can be observed, and then extended to reported high performance ternary modulators. It is shown that, even if linearization pulses are inserted to cope with the finite rise/fall time problem, these modulators are somehow impacted by the edge mismatches.

What it means: Gritty forward Mike Rupp single-handedly whittled a 2-0 deficit and elite center Brad Richards tallied the game-winner as the Rangers prevailed 3-2 in the 2012 NHL Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park Monday. The Rangers' come-from-behind win, executed in epic fashion during the vaunted festivities, gave the Blueshirts a four-point edge over the Flyers in the Eastern Conference standings and a 3-0 season series lead.
Been there before: Winter Classic veteran Rupp, who played in the annual outdoor game last year with the Pittsburgh Penguins, gave the Rangers a huge two-goal boost with his finest game of the season. The 31-year-old forward cut the Flyers' two-goal lead in half with a sharp wrister that beat Sergei Bobrovsky at 14:51 of the second and tied the game with a shortside shot early in the third. Rupp displayed his showmanship as well, playing to the sellout crowd after his first marker with with a mimic of Jaromir Jagr's salute to the sellout crowd at Citizens Bank Park.
Staal returns: Rangers defenseman Marc Staal made his season debut after missing the first 36 games with post-concussion symptoms. The 24-year-old played primarily on the team's third defensive pairing with Stu Bickel during his first game in almost nine months.
First time: Brayden Schenn picked a grand stage to tally his first NHL goal. The 20-year-old Flyers center banged in a rebound to give his team a 1-0 lead at 12:26 of the second period and ignite a crowd of 46,967 at Citizens Bank Park.
Double up: Less than two minutes after Schenn got the Flyers on the board, Claude Giroux gave Philly a 2-0 lead. The star finished a backhander to pull even with Vancouver's Henrik Sedin for the league lead in scoring. Both Sedin and Giroux, who recorded his 18th goal of the season, have 46 points.
Jagr hurt?: Jagr left the game in the first period and returned in the second to play only two shifts. The Flyers did not divulge what was bothering the Czech star, who remained on the bench in the third but didn't play.
Late scratch: With Staal's last-minute addition, defenseman Jeff Woywitka was bumped from the lineup. Erik Christensen was also scratched for the seventh straight game. For the Flyers, defenseman Matt Walker and tough guys Zac Rinaldo and Jody Shelley were scratched.
Avery watch: Sean Avery, waived by the Rangers for the second time this season Friday, finished with four shots, two penalty minutes and a minus-one rating in the (AHL) Connecticut Whale's 5-4 OT loss to Portland Monday.
Ideal conditions: The ice may have not been ideal, but the weather for Monday's game could not have been better. Fans bundled up for the clear, cold conditions were rewarded with some flurries of snow during the second period.
Up next: Rangers at Panthers, Thursday at 7 p.m.

Over the last week, my thoughts have turned to what I'll be doing after MEDC 2005. First and foremost, my attention will switch to the international MEDC events, the first of which I'll attend is Berlin, Germany on June 6th. You can find out more about these "Best Of..." international events at http://www.medc2005.com/worldwide.html.
One of the things I'm planning to do after MEDC is build a Media Center PC. Now let me start by saying I'm a fan of Tivo. In fact, I was watching a little TV in my hotel room this morning and spent a second trying to figure out where the fast forward button was. Tivo is a great PVR but recently I've started to find it limiting. It can only play it's own proprietary file formats, it's very slow to copy content off of it and it's expansion capabilities are limited ... it's difficult to add new hard drives or upgrade the processor etc
Which made me think about the 0.5 TB file server I've got hosting a lot of music and video content in my apartment. The box is currently only a PII-450 with a half Gig of RAM. That's not really media server material apart from the disk space. It's actually an old box that I used to use as a desktop machine which I'd stripped down to bare essentials and boosted memory and hard drive space. With 4 high capacity hard drives it was starting to run a little hot in the old case so I bought a new one from Frys which has multiple exhausts, 4 in case fans and a special exhaust for the processor! It's now running a lot cooler circa 33 or 34 degrees C. I'd also added hard drive fans to the two 200 Gig drives to keep them cool.
Having got a respectable case which looks good in the living room, I'm now turning my attention to turning this machine into a full on Media Center PC. First stop is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB which will give me TV out capability from the box. That means I can use it to view video files we already have stored on there right away without even needing Media Center. Next stop will be a new MOBO/processor/memory. That's the expensive step so any recos are welcomed. I'm thinking about one of two Asus boards (here and here) with the former being preferred because it has more memory expandability. I'm planning on a Gig of memory and an Intel processor ~2.8GHz or higher. Hyperthreading preferred! Final step is a TV Tuner Card, the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150 MCE looks a likely choice.
So the next month or two look like they'll be pricey. So why am I going to the effort :
* I like the fact that Media Center can play multiple video standards and is effectively open and codec based so future support of new files is easy
* I like the integration of pictures and music into a single experience with the tiled previews. Tivo can do this but I don't think the experience is as slick
* I can keep my Media Center PC upgraded over time through adding processor, memory or hard drive capability
* I can run apps on my Media Center which means I can add new features
What will happen to my Tivo? It's 275 hour so I'll probably move into into another room like our den or maybe the bedroom.
Wish me luck ...
