Our banner at the top of the site, will probably only feature 2 players next season out of the 7 on there. Mobley and Kaman.
i hope we have a shaun and ross
lol I was thinking the same thing the moment we lost brand. So it is unlikely we will get ross and Livingston? When do you suppose we will hear what the plan is with the rest of our roster?
Hahah yeah seriously I need to change it- never thought it would be so drastic. I'll wait until our core roster is set though.
Every time I see that, and I see ELTON, CASSELL, & MAGGETTE, I am beginning to become disgusted.
May at least replace ELTON, cause he left me a bitter taste in my mouth.
If you replace the banner, at least you can have KAMAN, THORNTON, POWELL and GORDON on their.
It's just hard to take, and hard to look at
add benoit
A new banner for a new start
I'd take Kandyman, Andre Miller and Jeff McInnis. At least they upfront enough to let us know they were a**h***s. Sam "the Rodent" and Elton Grand really backstabbed us
I hear ya guys. You know I was going to wait until we get our roster set, but I do realize the importance and urgency to get whats-his-name's face off the site, so I will be working on a new one to go up shortly.
Take your time Dave, but I'm sure it will look awesome!!!
Much love and respect to gordon but its time to remove him and kaman from the CTB banner, CP3 and butler or CP3 and billups should be on it!
I'm going to be updating it but I have some Christmas shopping to do first and I'll have it in a few days.
Thank you cj, merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to all
Thanks Joe, but tears i love your banner and i'll miss seeing Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman on the banner.
Hey guys, I made the changes to the players, and changed the BG pic from the original. I'm just waiting on david to see what he wants, and what he wants to change.
I made a slightly darker from the original, and a combo of the dark, and original. Let m know what you think:
I like it but is there any way to add everyone on the team? I would love a banner with the the faces of the clippers!
Ralph lawler should be there too!
I don't notice any difference at all between them besides when I look at the LA sign int he middle. It looks great though.
vote : darker.
Oh wow.. I didn't think of that. What about Ralphy? He should have a pic for sure! To me Clippers=Ralph Lawler. It may be too much work though lol.
They both look great but I like the 1st one a lil more
Shadows. Look at the faces. The Name is also slightly darker.
The one we have now looks faded. These have a little more punch to them.
If we put everyone on there, they'll look a lot smaller. Plus, it's going to look crowded, and I'll have to make all kinds of changes every season.
What about Ralph?
^^ Not sure where I could fit him.
Ralph can replace Mo Williams IMO. Or Billups since he may not be here long. I'd put Ralph on there before ANYBODY else. Clippers=Ralph!
Sorry guys, as much as I'd like to, I won't have time. Maybe in the future.
I prefer the darker one. Not to be picky, but shouldn't Caron replace Bledsoe? positions 1-6?
Either way, nice job Joe.
That's what david wanted.
Whenever you have some time... they look great anyway. Might prove to be prophetic if E-Bled comes back strong. Half our team is point guards, so I suppose half our banner should be too!
LOL Cleepers..
I like the darker one better, and I also agree that Caron should take Bledsoe's place.
Wow great stuff. I like the first one..I think it goes better with the overall color flow of the site since there are not really any really dark colors
I like the darker one. I also like the idea of having positions 1-6 on the banner and including Caron.
darker one looks better ! good job
looks nice.... cp3 looks like he's bout to bust...
I like the lighter one and also think that Caron should be there. But either way, great job Joe!
How does this one look?
Changed the CP3 pic to match BG.
^yup, the new CP3 head is better
Nice as always!
Thumbs up on the new CP3!
Great look
lawler's law say it's a must the the great ralph lawler should be on the banner.
Great looking banner, Joe. I like the lighter one.
Also, to go with the theme of the team's top 6 players, wouldn't Butler replace Bledsoe?
Yeah, David asked me to change it last night. Nothing good yet for Butler in clips uni but I'll check tonight after the game. Looks like BG, CP3, and Billups are getting the attention right now.
Thumbs up on the last one CJ (changed the CP3 pic to match BG)...great job. I'm in agreement with showing the top 6 guys.
Also, to go with the theme of the team's top 6 players, wouldn't Butler replace Bledsoe?
Yeah, David asked me to change it last night. Nothing good yet for Butler in clips uni but I'll check tonight after the game. Looks like BG, CP3, and Billups are getting the attention right now.
Please try to grab a 'crazy-eye' shot of Butler. I think that would look incredible.
put one of Donald Sterling in the middle
or on every single one.
New banner is now up- if you don't see it try refreshing the page. Looks terrific- thanks Joe!
Wow Looks great!

It's bounce-back time for the Clippers as they look to even the series at home vs the Oklahoma Thunder. Even though the Clippers put up 112 points the last game, their 3 point shooing % was not what they wanted to be. For game 4, they will need to shoot at least their typical numbers from deep, and rotate better defensively. This is certainly pretty much a must-win situation for the Clippers.
Very winnable game. JJ reddick has to play better. He was missing open layups,
thats unacceptable..
I don't think I could call KD a baby when he and his friends just outmuscled the clippers to a victory. It may be just me, but I think BG was beat up enough to receive a busted nose and CP3 got thrown to the floor by Westbrook and messed up his leg. OKC is so much more physical than the Clippers that if LA don't answer their physicality, this series is over in 2 more games. Expect Adams or Perkins to go at BG Sunday to throw him off his game, while Westbrook continues to bully past CP3 for man-sized layups. I will give Doc credit for not complaining about OKC being too physical. He just says that the Clippers need to play better D and quit letting it get to them, where it effects the next play. We will see if the Clippers can take anymore of OKC's punches and get back up, without crying about it
Durant couldn't outmuscle a stick insect with Lou Gehrig's disease.
We're in trouble. Westbrook decided to grow up against Paul. He's playing under control, taking care of the ball, and playing solid defense
Hell, last night was their game to take. Just so many mental lapses on defense. Letting Jackson get straight to the basket from the top of the key untouched was just pathetic. I don't know how CP is going to rest if DC doesn't show up. He's getting eaten alive by both westbrook and Jackson. CP and Blake have to get 30+ to stay even with Durant/RW but JJ and JCraw HAVE to contribute! They need to counter Ibaka and Jackson if Clips can't figure out how to stop them. I'm really tired of seeing Jamal ball. If that means playing WIllie Green, fine. At lease he won't jack up 3s with 14 seconds on the clock.
The series is going 7. We'll win game 4 and I'm guessing Barnes gets ejected/suspended for a hard elbow to Ibaka when he comes to set a screen for Durant.
Yeah, I've grown sick of seeing Jamal iso's late in games. Doc should never leave him in for that much time and leave Reddick on the bench. Just poor rotations through much of the playoffs.
everything but the last one, neither guy is containing each other
Paul is putting up 23/3/12 with a TS% north of 70% and only 1.7 turnovers
Westbrook is putting up 28/7/9 with a 69% TS and 4 turnovers
They are both just going off, not much containing by anyone
I think we should try a little more Reggie at the 3 and Granger at the 4! Reggie could be our Daniels, like for the Rockets, making big 3s. He plays Durant well. He should get more time instead of Dudley
He will never use Reggie. The vets will eat him like a burger with extra bacon.
Can he really be as worse than Dudley? I'm sorry, but I'm willing to give Reggie a chance especially if Granger is not effective enough to play. I saw Reggie play decent defense all season. Give him a chance. There's simply no reason whatsoever for Dudley to be out there.
Exactly. This!
Dudley moves like the bottom of his shoes had stickum on them.
It's been a disappointing end to the season but I enjoyed the ride. Unfortunately this may have been Chris Paul's best chance to get out of second round purgatory.
Oh stop with the over reactions. If we lose on Sunday, then I would say your reaction is valid, but let's wait until we actually play the game to give up. Jeez, it's a good thing the players don't have the attitudes that some of you guys on here do or we'd be screwed.
OK, bye... see you next season.
(Shh! guys, don't tell him we have AT LEAST two more games to play!)
what is up with you and your obsession with making OKC seem like the most physical team? Your only two posts are about OKC outmuscling the Clips. I'm guessing you're an OKC fan, but I'm sorry we've faced a much more physical team than Durant light weight ass led team. If the refs actually allowed us To play more physical, but they won't because Durant won't be able to handle it. You can't even breathe on him.
Did anyone ask doc about the rebounding?
You should see a psychiatrist about that depression problem of yours.
You went from giving up on Clippers 2 minutes into game seven of the first round to giving up before game two of this round to now giving up on the series!
It honestly felt like the season was over last night after the game because of the emotions of losing. But, now I am very confident if we win Game 4 and we take 1 on their floor. We can lose Game 5, but we obviously have to win G7 then. G6 we should win, if they want it enough.
I want cp3 to get a ring
yep must win, pretty much impossible to come back down 3-1, key is barnes need to put the clamps on KD, throw in couple of his signature idiotic hard fouls to rattle him a bit would be good
We all do man. But if he wants it, he has to earn it.
I hope we score more points than OKC in game four
Same here. I want to seem him prove all his doubters wrong, and finally have a championship to his name. If he does that, he could arguably be the greatest PG of all time after Magic. I'd hate to see another great go without a ring in their career, but he still has time to get his
So, are we in the baby-blues tomorrow?
If that happens, I think we win. (A new version of "Lawler's Law?")
LABlakers Law:
First person to score the most points in regulation win the game. It's the law.
Last night's game was really disappointing, but after much thought, I still believe the Clippers will win out in the end. They are the better team. Clips just need to make their baskets, play better defense, and secure more rebounds.
I hope KD and RW go on a shooting slump in Game 4. They're bound to not hit ALL their shots, right?
A championship is within reach. Our guys just have to want it more than the other team and play like they mean business.
I'm watching the heat game - lebron >>>>>Durant. I would give up anyone for lebron at this point I think. Just wow
His teammates aren't showing up though. Doc hasn't been himself
to me LB is magic/bird/jordan all in one, KD is just jordan
I lol at everyone that complains about CP3 and DeAndre. Ey! Atlease they ain't going for 0 points or 0 rebounds in a playoff game
Jared Dudley should not take the court tomorrow. We must upgrade our small forward this summer
I won't complain about DeAndre for he has become so much better and CONSISTENT in the playoffs. He just has some slip-ups is all. #DeAndreMIP2014
You can't say "Barnes + fillers"... Matt Barnes IS a filler.
Even in a dream world, we would have to give up DJ, Crawford and multiple draft picks for LeBron... and that's still REALLY f**king far-fetched!
Blake is only averaging 6.3 boards a game?!?! Sheeeesh!!
Doc should start Crawford tomorrow. OKC CANNOT stay in front of Jamal. He should get to the line at will. Maybe DC's game opens a bit more with JJ's off ball movement on the 2nd unit.
If we win the battle of the rebounds tomorrow then we'll survive to see a game 6 at least.
Anything involving LeBron would have to include Blake. Unless Mickey Arrison pops a molly when reviewing the trade.
Nah... There's just no way we give up Blake.
If LBJ really wanted to force it, we could gut the roster for him while keeping Blake and CP. Jamal has a really nice contract that's pretty much all team options at this point, DJ is an improved player who could also be traded as an expiring for another max guy (although they'd probably keep him, IMO), Reggie and some draft picks are cheap assets that could make the numbers match up.
If LeBron made it clear that he was definitely leaving Miami and definitely coming to the Clips in free-agency, it would be Miami's only option.
That said, it's all a very unlikely pipe-dream. I think he's happy there and has faith in Pat Riley to keep the team competitive.
Agreed. You think we'll sign DJ to an extension next year or he'll test free agency?
Anybody's guess at this point... but assuming Doc stays, you've got to believe DJ at least gives us the home-town discount. Without Doc, CP, Blake and the big market, nobody would have ever heard of him.
I'd trade CP3 and DJ for LeBron. Riley would be nuts to pick getting nothing over that.
That's absurd... CP3 is the only thing that would make LeBron want to come here in the first place.
I am so excited to get the same red shirt for the 6th consecutive home playoff game. Boy our marketing team is so creative and clever!
You could always give it away on CTB.

Thank you Eric, great presentation.
Thank you Eric
very interesting
Planning on implementing
No vision apps yet
Great Presentation. Wish I could have heard the actual talk
I have not written any software for vision systems, always stuck with hardware side.
thank you Eric,
a very late hi,
I used all sorts of programming languages from assembly to much hiher levels.
I usually program in C or assembly.
Thanks Erric
The lab demo sounds interesting
Yes I have worked alot with computer algorithums
Hello again looking forward to another day
Mechatronics Engineer
Vision Applications : none at the moment
Thanks Eric; very good lecture
got to know some good stuff.
Thank you for the presentation
good session, thanks
Good presentation

I'm working on Security applications with Vision.
I'm an EE in the Security industry.
good day to all
Hi everyone!
good info
thank you
thanks again , will be there tomorrow again, it was good experience first time.
No plans to distribute a script, but I believe that the essential links are all in the slides. If anything is missing, please send us email: email@example.com.
Thank you for this session! Tomorrow, can we start an hour earlier and run an hour later too? (i.e. several hours of education?) :)
That pause in Ann's intro was scary.
re: developing a sensor system -- Hoping not to have to completely build my own -- OpenCV looks quite useful; anticipating sharing a "crowd-sourced" development environment...
Let's see -- currently unemployed; constantly seeking gainful employment -- strong hopes of landing a developer's kit from Leap Motion any day now... R&D, design engineer, project, proto, product, "soup-to-nuts", full life-cycle, 300+ PCBs generated... Robotics, Vision, innovative technology, anything I get sucked into... And here we go!
Going to have to come back and "harvest" responses later.
Thanks, GREAT stuff, Eric.
Catch y'all manana!
Oh, Ann, did I hear correctly -- "free T-shirts for 25 people (attendees) per day"?
Whoosh. You realize, I'm going to have to buy another computer -- my wife will kill me if I monopolize the "family" machine to the extent I'm about to...
Just a thought -- sounds like Eric has a script; will we be able to get a copy, since I'm hearing good stuff I can't ...quite... capture.
Yesterday I didn't have time to ask this: could you please tell us about some embedded applications you've worked on? Thanks.
Thanks for tuning in today, everyone! We'll be back at the same time tomorrow. And, if you come up with more questions in the meantime, feel free to log in early for tomorrow's class and post your questions before the class starts.
Also, if you're able to come to Boston next week, please check out the Embedded Vision Summit, a free educational event for engineers: http://www.embedded-vision.com/embedded-vision-summit. And if you have colleagues who may be interested, please spread the word.
we need to think in a different way sometimes
VMware Fusion is $50. I've used VMware Workstation (on Windows) for years. Have considered going to VirtualBox (open-source, free) but haven't gotten around to it. Couldn't convert existing VMs from VMware to VirtualBox.
Okay, so that's not a freebie for the Mac version. Correct?
You mentioned testing VMware player on the Mac. I can't find VMware player for anything except Windows and Linux. Can you tell me where to find the VMware player for the Mac?
VMware Fusion runs on Mac - I don't know if there's a free player for the Mac though.
Is it really Eclipse specific or can it work with the IDE of our choosing? I use Code::Blocks on both Win and Linux.
Nope, you can use any IDE you choose that supports GDB.
So if I'm going to be spending a lot of time ramping up on OpenCV, does it make sense to ramp up on Eclipse as well???
If you plan on writing software for a living, you should ramp-up on Eclipse. It's become the dominet IDE in the industry. Definitely worth your time.

The following link contains instructions to install OpenCV on Ubuntu 11.04, but I'm told it works on 10.04 also.
So if I'm going to be spending a lot of time ramping up on OpenCV, does it make sense to ramp up on Eclipse as well???
Ahhhh... clicking on the .vmx file did the trick. Looks like I'm in. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Thanks guys. Tried the demo -- will look at OpenCV libraries.
c,asm no vision apps yet
time to go. thanks Jeff, Eric and Ann. see all tomorrow.
Yup, terrible in Chicago this time of year.
When I create a new virtual machine, do I point the installer to the BDTI Dev Tool??? There is no .iso there.
You do not need to create a new virtual macing. After downloading and uncompressing the VMware image. Simply double click on the .vmx file.
@drw36: Thanks, I'll try that.
This is great.
When I create a new virtual machine, do I point the installer to the BDTI Dev Tool??? There is no .iso there.
Mind-reading again, with the itseez.com reference. Thanks! (BTW, hope that cough gets better soon, or people will be wearing hospital masks to your presentation next week...)
Allergies :)
@gschmick - I downgraded my flash plugin to 11.3.300.271 and audio now works fine in firefox on Win7.
Thank you for the presentation and good information.
can you tell from where to download open cv library for linux IDEs??
Thanks Eric - Looking forward to tomorrow.
Thanks Eric..
@Eric Thanks for the great info !
On slide 18 - can we use the executive demo for Friday or do we have to use the development kit?
Executive Demo
My earlier question about perhaps getting a transcript of the script Eric was using?? He touched on some valuable stuff I didn't manage to catch.
I'm going to cause some excitement when I spread the word about the pre-loaded ubuntu vmware package -- I've got a crowd of people already starting to pull their hair out trying to get a common development environment defined so they can share the development sequence (i.e. bootstrap each other past "what was THAT??" and "did your system fail when you did ...this...??, etc
Mind-reading again, with the itseez.com reference. Thanks! (BTW, hope that cough gets better soon, or people will be wearing hospital masks to your presentation next week...)
thank you Eric Sir
So is it VMWare Server that I want to download???
VMware player: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/5_0
Thanks dingwa. To be more specific, I'm running Firefox 15.0.1 under XP Pro SP3. No live audio
Is there a reference that explains all 2000 of the available [OpenCV] algorithms?
The full suite of videos on the Embedded Vision Alliance website, including those in the Embedded Vision Academy portion of the site, plus many others, can be found here:
thanks digkey and embedded vision have not programmed yet.
Can you discuss Object Detection, and algorithms to do that. Like the photo you had that recognized mugs, Naked bottles, etc. Thanks.
Yes, that software was developed at the Google summer of Code 2011.
gschmick - I am using Firefox and the audio is working.
can you tell from where to download open cv library for linux IDEs??
Thanks for the lecture, Eric. Looking forward to the next one...
Thanks Eric, Jeff and all.
@flaredOne - One step ahead of you there on the laptop. I had to get an I7 laptop just for CV processing.
Adding a lab and demos we can run is a great idea for these Design News lectures!
Great lecture. Thanks Eric.
@Ann - I notice live audio still doesn't work on Firefox. Did you think it was fixed, or did you give up on it? ( I'm using IE8 for the live audio). Thanks
Eric's class on Tuesday will not be recorded. The full suite of presentations Wednesday WILL be recorded, for publication within a few weeks after the event, after they're edited. For more on the Embedded Vision Summit agenda, see here:
@The_John: you need the VMWare Player:
Thanks Eric,very good.
The free stuff works really great!
Thank you Ann.
Which version of Umbuntu is the Kit setup for? Can it be done native on the appropriate Umbuntu OS without the VMware player?
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Yes, although native has not been tested.
Is there a reference that explains all 2000 of the available algorithms?
Thanks Eric, can't wait till the next session.
I'm a software/embedded engineer interested in video applications
Languages: Assembler, C, C+ , Java
Not CV development yet
Yes, working on a current CV project using OpenCV
I heard yesterday that you guys are going to be taping stuff at the Conference, and posting YouTube videos -- is this class going to be something you can/will/want-to be posting??
Thanks for the intro to OpenCV Eric.
So is it VMWare Server that I want to download???
Thank you
Labview, Vision Modules
Thanks Eric and Ann.
Very cool. Thanks.
Thank you Eric!
can't wait till 2morrow.. to do the real stuffs
Very cool! Thanks!
Tks Eric
Thanks for the information, cant wait until tomorrow!
thanks Eric

-Carl Sagan
;-) Over 2,000. That's what the foil says
On slide 18 - can we use the executive demo for Friday or do we have to use the development kit?
@luizcosta 2,500.
Can you discuss Object Detection, and algorithms to do that. Like the photo you had that recognized mugs, Naked bottles, etc. Thanks.
200,000 or 2,000 algorithms?
(Audio - Firefox, Failed. Opera, Failed. Google Chrome - Success!)
If you haven't told us yet, please let us know
- What programming languages do you use?
- Have you developed software for video or vision applications? If so,
what was your biggest headache?
- Do you envision developing your own vision algorithms, using free
resources, and/or licensing commercially available algorithms?
Sounds like rationalization to buy a new toy. I know it well ;-)
Which version of Umbuntu is the Kit setup for? Can it be done native on the appropriate Umbuntu OS without the VMware player?
JSP, please ask Eric post-presentation in the chat about updated-version availability. I'm thinking it might be as early as next week, but don't quote me on that
So do I correctly understand that BDTi is in a position to maintain a top-down view of all these different development efforts, so that it IS possible to do a reasonably complete survey of design choices without having to search the entire internet?

@dipert - Do you an ETA ?
h/w design engineer, worked in machine vision few years ago
Gary Bradski is, I believe, in the process of updating his OpenCV "bible" published by O'Reilly:
good afternoon everyone
Eric, I wasn't able to install the package you sent. make failed according to my e-mail.
For those of you just joining us, please let us know your job title, the industry you're working in, and any vision applications you're working on, or thinking about working on.
Good evening everyone!
Hi, Ann, Jeff and Eric. Hello all.
If you're having audio issues, please note that some companies block live audio streams. If you don't hear any audio, try refreshing your browser. The show will be archived and available on this page.
try browser refresh for audio issues
refresh f5 for audio
no vision projects on the table for me just now.
is the audio running I just have buffering
@Eric - Are there any good books/websources you would recommend that is up-to-date for OpenCV 2.3 C+ APIs ?
hello all, a few minutes late... (and waiting for audio - endless 'buffering'...)
not sure of question asked, but from context...
I've done lots of embedded C and assembly; no vision code yet. No current projects right now, but soon...
FORTRAN 4, Basic, C+ .
Hello All
hello everyone
languages: current using c, asm and SX/b (basic for sx28)
no vision projects right now.
learning from the begining by using Arduino, open source libraries and simple frame grabber on breadboard.
asm & C
no vision apps yet
use Verilog, some C, some assemblybuilding a video link using self-developed video processing dingwa
@Ann - at that time did not use any open source or commercial libraries... had to do everything from scratch (it was a school project)
1. c+ /c
2. yes. robustness
3. maybe
i use c+ but no vision app.
C, C+ , assembly
No vision so far
Asm, C, C+ , Java, HTML, etc..
limited, frame grabbers mostly, no headaches
No Vision yet
1. C/C+ , Python, Assy, VHDL, UML
2. Nothing to report
3. Yes, all.
I use C, Python, assembly language and Objective C
No immediate vision applications but I'm going to checkout the OpenCV tools
2. Yes, controlling light conditions.
3. Using free tools as most as possible, but open to license anything that would accelerate development.
@Ann - yes, did develop cv s/w quite a while ago... at that time the biggest headache was dealing with live data stream in real time
I use Pascal (Delphi), C, CPP, -- Stellaris/PC /Windows platforms.

Hello from Boston!
Never worked with vision software before
I did some work using Vision Blox some years ago.
Use Assembly and C for applicaitons.
Have not done any Vision application.
Would expect to use free software resources.
Tried downloading the BDTI OpenCV Executable Demo Package and at the end of the download, I got a message saying that the program is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous.
Any ideas why?
Eric (today's presenter) is the person who put this download together. I've installed it myself with no problem, as have many others. I suspect that your security software is being overly cautious.
Mostly C language. Looking to get into vision algorithm development.
Hello, audio is great compared to yesterday!

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full Sun for Houseplants Don't underestimate the light needs of houseplants that require full sun -- they are often tropicals. Place them within 2 feet of a southern exposure window, or at the very minimum, a room that stays bright. Bright rooms have light colored walls, allowing for light reflection. Conditions : Dry Houseplants Houseplants that do not require much water, or dry houseplants, should be allowed to dry out completely between waterings, especially in winter. When you do water, make sure that the soil is completely saturated and excess water runs out the bottom of the pot. Never water just a little bit as mineral salts will build up in soil. It is not uncommon for many plants that require moisture during the growing season to need less during the winter months when the plant is dormant. Cacti are probably the most well known drought tolerant plants, but even they need occasional waterings. Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged. Conditions : Full Sun Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day.
Irrigation maybe used to supplement watering, but takes a creative turn in the form of drip systems and recycled catch water. Organic mulches in the form of compost, straws, and barks are also used to retain as much water as possible. In extremely dry areas, it is not uncommon for gravel and rocks to serve as the mulch.
A xeriphytic landscape is one that takes your particular site into consideration. A plant that maybe considered low water usage in one area of the country, may not be in another area, due to climatic stresses. Problems : Waterlogged Soil and Solutions Waterlogged soil occurs when more water is added to soil than can drain out in a reasonable amount of time. This can be a severe problem where water tables are high or soils are compacted. Lack of air space in waterlogged soil makes it almost impossible for soil to drain. Few plants, except for bog plants, can tolerate these conditions. Drainage must be improved if you are not satisfied with bog gardening. Over-watered plants
have the same wilted leaves as under-watered plants. Fungi such as Phytophthora and Pythium affect vascular systems, which cause wilt.
If the problem is only on the surface, it maybe diverted to a drainage ditch. If drainage is poor where water table is high, install an underground drainage system. You should contact a contractor for this. If underground drains already exist, check to see if they are blocked.
French drains are another option. French drains are ditches that have been filled with gravel. It is okay to plant sod on top of them. More obtrusive, but a good solution where looks aren't as important, think of the French drain as a ditch filled with gravel. Ditches should be 3 to 4 feet deep and have sloping sides.
A soakway is a gravel filled pit where water is diverted to via underground pipes. This works well on sites that have compacted soil. Your soakway should be about 6'wide and deep and filled with gravel or crushed stone, topped with sand and sodded or seeded.
Keep in mind that it is illegal to divert water onto other people's property. If you do not feel that you can implement a workable solution on your own, call a contractor. Conditions : Arid Arid, is defined as the complete absence of water. Conditions : Semi-Arid Semi-Arid is defined as very little water/rainfall occurring only during certain times of the season.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well. How-to : Potting Indoor Plants Make sure that the plant you have chosen is suitable for the conditions you are able to provide it: that it will have enough light, space, and a temperature it will like. Remember that the area right next to a window will be colder than the rest of the room.
Indoor plants need to be transplanted into a larger container periodically, or they become pot/root-bound and their growth is retarded. Water the plant well before starting, so the soil will hold the root ball together when you remove it from the pot. If you have trouble getting the plant out of the pot, try running a blade around the edge of the pot, and gently whacking the sides to loosen the soil.
Always use fresh soil when transplanting your indoor plant. Fill around the plant gently with soil, being careful not to pack too tightly -- you want air to be able to get to the roots. After the plant is in the new pot, don't fertilize right away... this will encourage the roots to fill in their new home.
The size pot you choose is important too. Select one that is not more than about 1 inch greater in diameter. Remember, many plants prefer being somewhat pot bound. Always start with a clean pot!
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and remove infested plants. Dry
air seems to worsen the problem, so make sure plants are regularly watered,
especially those preferring high humidity such as tropicals, citrus, or tomatoes. Always check new plants prior to bringing them home from the garden center or nursery. Take advantage of natural enemies such as ladybug larvae. If a miticide is recommended by your local garden center professional or county Cooperative Extension office, read and follow all label directions. Concentrate your efforts on the undersides of the leaves as that is where spider mites generally live. Pest : Mealybugs Small, wingless, dull-white, soft-bodied insects that produce a waxy powdery covering. They have piercing/sucking mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Mealybugs often look like small pieces of cotton and they tend to congregate where leaves and stems branch. They attack a wide range of plants. The young tend to move around until they find a suitable feeding spot, then they hang out in colonies and feed. Mealybugs can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Isolate infested plants from those that are not. Consult your local garden center professional or the Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal insecticide/chemical recommendation. Encourage natural enemies such as lady beetles in the garden to help reduce population levels of mealy bugs. Pest : Whiteflies Whiteflies are small, winged insects that look like tiny moths, which attack many types of plants. The flying adult stage prefers the underside of leaves to feed and breed. Whiteflies can multiply quickly as a female can lay up to 500 eggs in a life span of 2 months. If a plant is infested with whiteflies, you will see a cloud of fleeing insects when the plant is disturbed. Whiteflies can weaken a plant, eventually leading to plant death if they are not checked. They can transmit many harmful plant viruses. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Possible controls: keep weeds down; use screening in windows to keep them out; remove infested plants away from non-infested plants; use a reflective mulch (aluminum foil) under plants (this repels whiteflies); trap with yellow sticky cards, apply labeled pesticides; encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden; and sometimes a good steady shower of water will wash them off the plant. Pest : Slugs and Snails Slugs and snails favor moist climates and are mollusks, not insects.
They can be voracious feeders, eating just about anything that is not woody or
highly scented. They may eat holes in leaves, strip entire stems, or completely
devour seedlings and tender transplants, leaving behind tell-tale silvery, slimy trails.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible,
eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps.
Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the
elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and
destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk
and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can
be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first! Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden. Fungi : Sooty Mold Sooty mold is a fungus that is found on the surface of leaves. It feeds on honeydew excreted from aphids, mealy bugs, scale, or ants. Though not serious, it is unattractive when it covers/blackens the leaves and stems of the plant. The best way to control sooty mold is to control the insects that make the honeydew. Sooty mold can usually be wiped from leaves with a damp cloth or washed away with a hose-end sprayer.

ANDERSON (AP) — Anderson County authorities say the 21-year-old driver of a vehicle that struck a utility pole died after a shooting outside a local nightclub.
An autopsy will determine what killed India Lomax of Anderson.
Deputies found her and a passenger in a pickup after it hit a parked car and pole at 4 a.m. on Saturday. Lomax had been shot in the torso and was pronounced dead at the scene; 33-year-old Willis Donald of Anderson had been shot in the arm. He was taken to a hospital.
Deputies say the shooting stemmed from a fight at Marvon's. Armed private security guards attempted to disperse the crowd. One of the guards said he attempted to stop Lomax's truck and fired his weapon in self-defense when it veered in his direction.
The investigation continues.

One of the weak links on my Christmas Tree Project is the wife of William RUSSELL, my 4x great grandfather and mother of my 3x great grandfather Thomas RUSSELL.
I know that Thomas' father was William from his marriage entry in the Ticehurst parish registers. From that I also know that his father's occupation was that of a shoemaker.
All the census information I have points to a birth for Thomas in Salehurst, Sussex around 1822-23, and although the Salehurst baptisms have been included in the Sussex Family History Group (SFHG) Data Archive, I can't for the life of me find Thomas' baptism.
I think I have found Thomas with his father (and brother George) in the 1841 Census, in Salehurst, but there is no sign of a wife for William. There is an older woman, Lydia RUSSELL, who is probably William's mother (making William the son of Samuel and Lydia RUSSELL).
In 1861 William is living with Elkanah RUSSELL and family in Burwash, Sussex and it could well be that Elkanah is another son. It is an unusual name so it should stand out in the records.
So who was William's wife? The SFHG Marriage Index gives a couple of marriages around the right time for William RUSSELL in Salehurst, Sussex, and the most likely of these is to Ann SPICE on the 27th April 1811.
My best bet however is to try and locate the baptism for Thomas RUSSELL, that should give me his mother's name, but if not in Salehurst then where. I searched the baptism transcriptions for Salehurst and surrounding parishes at the East Sussex Record Office last week without any luck.
I wasn't until I got home that I discovered a birth record for Elkanah RUSSELL, amongst the non-conformist records on BMDregisters.co.uk. This confirmed his parents as William RUSSELL and Ann SPICE, but there was still no sign of Thomas.
So all the evidence points to William RUSSELL and Ann SPICE being the parents of Thomas RUSSELL, but the connection is not quite as strong as I would like.
The problem with the BMDregisters website is that it is not obvious what records are included and whether any other records exist at the National Archives. There is of course the chance that records might survive locally as well, so I need to check with the East Sussex Record Office again.

I pinned the first layer of felt leaves in a circle and then using different color thread to match each color of felt I sewed the leaves on to the pillow where the veins would be on a leaf.
Is the pillow pretty? I just love how it turned out. I love the texture of the layers of leaves and the pillow fabric. It is the perfect fall addition to my living room.

George Tempesta had a problem. He couldn't remember scheduled family events or even when to take out the trash. His wife suggested he come up with a device to remind everyone in the family when a chore needed to be done or an event needed to be attended.
George came up with a motion-triggered calendar. The ChronoDot keeps track of time and dates for chores and events. A motion sensor triggers a response when someone walks by the gadget. A WAV file message is displayed to nag the family member about an imminent chore or event.

One of the advantages of searching a document page by page rather than going to a particular page, is that you find all manner of things you weren't looking for but are still interesting nevertheless.
One such example was in the Metropolitan Police Orders for 1861 (MEPO 7/22) that I was searching at The National Archives last weekend. I was looking for a mention of my 3x great grandfather Thomas GASSON, but I came across this entry on Saturday the 6th April 1861.
CENSUS OF 1861.-The Superintendents are to instruct the Police of their respective Divisions to correctly state the particulars required in the Schedule left at their places of residence, and that the names of those on duty during the night of Sunday, the 7th April, are also to be inserted in the same manner as if they had slept at their homes.
The Schedules sent to Divisions from the Commissioner's Office this day are to be duly filled up by the Superintendents, as far as in their power, respecting all persons confined at the Police Stations on the night of Sunday, 7th, and they are to be returned to the Enumerators of the Districts in which the Stations are situated when called for on 8th. The total numbers of Male and Female Prisoners confined in each Division, and returned in the Schedules, are to be sent to the Commissioner's Office on 11th.
The Police are to give the necessary assistance, if required by the Enumerators, to suppress any disturbance which may occur while they are visiting each house to collect the Schedules.
With regard to the first part, Thomas GASSON was recorded at home in the 1861 census, so I guess I will never know if he was actually on duty that night or not. I have not come across any schedules for Police Stations in my searches of the 1861 census (or others) but I might have a quick look, I would love to see if there are any prisoners listed in the Police Stations. If you know of any please let me know in the comments.

I've seen him do this in the past, but I could never find any videos of it. After his buzzer beater at the end of the 3rd quarter tonight, I finally got it on video. This was too funny for me not to post. I wonder if he does this at parties too.
Give him a break,he just hit that crazy buzzer beater. He was hella tired lol
haha repped.
Lol... Let's make this his official thread but keep the title
When I saw this title, I thought I was in the wrong forum. lol
Wow, our Guards really love 2-for-1 opportunities.
2 times the electrolytes for 1 timeout.
Looks like I wasn't the only one thinking of something else when "double fisting" was mentioned . Great minds think alike?
I thought it was gonna be a sequel to Anthony Davis's masterpiece that took place in the Kentucky locker room.
^ I'm glad it wasn't, lol. That Davis video is pretty disturbing, especially the ending of it when Davis makes that odd face as if he's enjoying it.
That was a good one. Some people might not get it though(don't look it up if you get easily offended or disgusted).
This is a rated G forum, so I had to change the title .
^ You missed a golden opportunity for CTB to show up in a lot more google searches there, David.
^^Yeah I don't think Jamal would like his name associated with "double fisting" on Google, lol.
I'm pretty sure he said on twitter that ones Gatorade and ones water
^Bingo. I read about that water/gatorade combon on twitter too. This thread has been fun to read, though.. haha
Maybe I should've chose a more appropriate title than "double fisting" haha. My apologies. Hope everyone enjoyed it though.
Oh me OH my,and my only other thought is,ouch
1 Jamal 2 Cups
I usually dilute my Gatorade with water by half or more. Too much sweet and acid isn't good for my stomach during exercise.
Aww, I kind of liked the mystery of why he had two cups, haha. Oh well, all good things must come to an end.
Needs that chaser to recharge.
crawford was just trying to cool down
he was on fire
more water couldn't hurt haha
This is freaking priceless
http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/artic ... d_16341595
thats just perfect! thanks for posting that. made my morning all that better
Like he has two left feet and they got in the way of each other.
That's awesome.
Before you challenge the Bull in the china shop, make sure you can contain the Snake on the hardwood.
It'll be alright Klay, just ask your daddy for some more of your own money to buy some ice for those ankles
Klay is a vastly overrated defensive player. I think he gives the impression of better defensive player because he likes to tight on people, but crafty, shifty players like Crawford, Paul or someone Goran Dragic can regularly slip by him or do things like this to him; then on top of that he's not really a great team defender either.
Klay is a good defender if fouling is allowed. He consistently hand checks and fouls. He would be perfect in the 90s.
Somebody's going to overpay that boy sometime soon.
I was hoping the lakers would try to poach him when he hits RFA, but that seems unlikely now with snake-boy's new deal. Maybe the duds will extend him early and screw up their own cap for the foreseeable future, but the smart move would be to sell high. I just don't buy that he'll ever be any better than he is right now.
What happened to Klay, George, Parsons, Hayward and Kawhi???
None of those wing players have gotten better since last year. Weren't they supposed to have breakout seasons this year?
Klay and Hayward were overrated to begin with. Paul George looked like he made the leap at the start of the year, but has regressed awfully since then.
Kawhi and Parsons have made a leap though. Both players either pretty much stood pat or increased their stats across the board. I don't know where you're getting that both of them haven't improved since last year, because they clearly have. Kawhi's improvement is especially interesting, since he did it while missing a little less than a quarter of the season due to injury.
I'm judging Kawhi off of his post season success last year. He was arguably the 2nd best player on a Finals team and people thought he was going to be THE MAN for San Antonio this season. His stat rises are minuscule and his skill set hasn't developed.
Same goes for Parsons. Both are essentially the same players as last year.
Well, maybe you should give Kawhi more than two playoff games in the first round before judging that he hasn't gotten any better.
Yes, his stat rises are minuscule, and his skill set is still a work in progress. His defense is as good if not better than last year's though. You saw what happened to the Spurs when they lost him for 14 games. Without Kawhi, they were 8-6.
I knew people were saying Kawhi might be THE MAN for the Spurs eventually, but if they honestly meant this season, they're flat out delusional. He's just 22. As long as he continues to show steady improvement, however small, (which he has, enough for me to say he isn't the same player as last year), I would be happy as the Spurs. When it comes to a matter like this, I'll trust that Pop knows what he's doing, and that Kawhi will continue to serve the role that's needed perfectly.
As for Parsons, I'm a little bit more worried about him. He's been doing amazing considering he was a second round pick, but I'm not sure McHale can get him to that next level.
First off let me say JCross broke the hell out of Klay's ankles. That wasn't a
"Push off" either.
Now to your post.
1. Klay - His problem is his team. He has a point guard who plays the exact
same way he does. Both are too soft to be great slashers, and either shoot
the lights out, or shoot you out of the game.
I think Klay would thrive on a team where the PG was less of a shooter
more an assist man.
2. George - George came out the gate on fire. Clear improvement. Then
I believe locker room issues and the coach losing the team has caused
the ship and everyone else on it to sink. Hell look at hibbert. He was benched
the last 6 minutes in The PO and Vogel is saying he might not start.
3. Parsons - I don't really see where parsons is going to get "much better".
He is a solid second round pick, and plays like it. Maybe slightly improve his shooting,
but he will never be an "impact" player.
4. Hayward - Plays for the JAZZ - Nuff said.
5. Leonard - Dude is a beast and at 22 he will be a force in this league. Remember
he was injured for a while this season.
Keep in mind as well Spurs system won't allow you to "Shine" because
it's more so team ball, and if you get to hogging the ball you will be on the bench
really quickly.
I had some free time earlier today so I put together this video. I always thought it was funny how much Jamal blows into hands so I thought I'd play around with that idea. It's not to be taken too seriously. I made it as a joke. Enjoy.
I am sorry to say this, but don't give up the day job!
Well I guess you need to make a Turkoglu #BBQ commercial since he is always licking his fingers lol.
This is cool! Haha
I made a couple of changes.
Way cool!!!

I have just ordered the marriage certificate for Henry SHORNDEN and Sarah LAY. I decided that it would be far easier and quicker to sit and wait for the certificate to come to me, than go out trying to find a copy of the entry in the parish register.
I am hoping that this certificate will confirm that the Henry SHORNDEN I found in the Ospringe, Kent baptism register, son of William and Ann SHORNDEN, is the same one that ended up in Alton, Hampshire.
More importantly I should give me the name of Sarah's father, which may just be enough to enable me to find her baptism, and then both of her parents. I really have no idea where Sarah came from, as most census entries for her give a different place of birth.
Now I just need to sit back and wait, I can't really do much more on that part of my tree without that certificate. I can't help but wonder what further surprises it is going to turn up!

Friday, June 13, 2014
The Georgetown Police Department is asking for the publics help in locating Timothy Geathers.
He is wanted for Breach of Trust with Fraudulent Intent more than $2000. His last known address is 110 Frank Williams Drive Georgetown.
Geathers is 511, 155 pounds.
Anyone with information on the location of Geathers is asked to contact the Georgetown Police Department at 843-545-4300 or the Departments Tip line at 843-545-4400.
Chilling in boys room
A 16-year-old female, who was incoherent and under the influence was found in the boys restroom at the Georgetown High School Career Center June 4.
When a police officer confronted the disoriented teen and asked why she was in the boys room, the teen said she was just chilling. She was asked to get her stuff and get out of that room.
The assistant principal told the officer he believes the teen was smoking in the bathroom because of the distinct odor coming from the room.
The administrator told the girl to empty her pockets and she responded dont you need a warrant?
She was asked again to empty her pockets and again she refused. She was escorted to the office where she became belligerent and irate, the report states. She repeatedly used profanity towards the officer, so she was arrested.
In her possession, police found a pack containing a green leafy substance and a half-smoked blunt.
She is expected to appear in court in July.
Shots fired in Bayview?
Police were called to the 300 block of Bayview Drive at about 9 a.m. Tuesday where a woman said she heard two possible gunshots near her building.
She said when she walked outside she saw two men arguing in the grassy area near the building. When they saw her they fled on foot towards the Cravens Grant development.
The two were questioned by police and denied firing a gun and said they did not hear any gunfire.
They were not charged with the gunfire call, however one of the men had an outstanding county warrant for assault and battery, so he was arrested.
Unruly barefoot man
A man who walked into the Murrells Inlet Waffle House barefoot at about 2:30 a.m. June 5 is accused of causing problems.
The man, believed to be around 25 years old, was asked by a manager to put on shoes. A woman he was with handed him the flip flops she was wearing. The manager told her she could not do that because she needed shoes also.
The man then started cussing at the manager before he walked outside, picked up the cigarette butt can and threw it across the parking lot casing it to break in in three places.
The manager did not want to press charges but wanted a report on file in case the man returns to the restaurant.
Out behind Kangaroo
An intoxicated man was spotted digging through a Dumpster at the Hess Wilco station on Church Street Saturday afternoon.
By the time police arrived, the man was no longer at the Hess but was found lying on the ground behind the Kangaroo station next door.
The 46-year-old man from New Jersey had a heavy odor of alcohol about his person and was arrested for public intoxication.
Theft at Huntington
Two North Carolina women and their husbands were walking on the beach at Huntington Beach State Park June 3 when they saw two men going through their beach bags.
The husband of one of the women ran towards the men but was unable to catch them.
The suspects were carrying the beach bags as they fled. The women said they believe the men left on mopeds.
The bags contained clothing and other items.
The thieves were not located.
Disorderly at hospital
A 38-year-old Myrtle Beach man was arrested June for for being disorderly and drunk at Waccamaw Community Hospital.
A deputy reports the man was cursing when he arrived on the scene and was warned to calm down.
The man said he did not like his male nurse and refused to allow that nurse to inject an IV. He demanded to be treated by another nurse.
The man was warned again he would be arrested and he told the deputy to go ahead and arrest him because he has done time before.
So, he was taken to jail.
Center burglarized
Sometime on June 5 or 6, someone, or more than one person, broke into St. Luke Community Center.
The woman who called deputies said the about $370 was missing from a desk drawer.
There are no suspects listed on the report.
Information is subject to change as the investigation proceeds. Individuals arrested and/or charged have not been convicted.

Trade Bled and Butler, get rid of contract and just sign mayo. That's how I hope they approach it.
trading Butler would make a ton of space for us to make moves, assuming we didn't take on a huge contract like Derozan's. Just give us somebody who can rebound.
Chris Broussard tweets this morning...
Source: Doc Rivers and OJ Mayo are meeting for lunch today. Clips & Mavs currently talking about a Mayo-for-Bledsoe swap
Clippers have also talked w/Bucks about Bledsoe-for-Refick but source says chances of that trade happening are "remote."
Sources say Doc Rivers strongly inclined to keep Bledsoe. Look for Clips to offer Caron Butler or JCrawford instead if necessary to get Mayo
I like it. I get the sense that we're gonna end up with Mayo & Bled.
I would love to keep Bledsoe and have Mayo, but I would like to have Mayo and Granger even more. It will be hard to pull off because of Caron going to Dallas.
Caron is going to Dallas?
That's the rumor as of now, Caron for Mayo S&T. Keep in mind the key word "rumor"
Not sure why Dallas would take Caron for O.J but lets make it happen. Mayo could be our answer at sg for a long time.
Butler for mayo would be a steal! Man i don't know if I want to trade Crawford. Love him for this team. But butler and throw in 1st round picks sounds great.
Only thing I can think of is maintaining flexibility going forward with his deal expiring.
Marc Stein was just on ESPN, and said the Mayo S&T for Bledsoe is more of a contingency plan for Dallas should they not get Dwight.
Good, then the odds will be good we can make this S&T happen.
I think Houston is the heavy favored Texas team to acquire Howard, if he doesn't return to the Lakers.
Mayo seems to think he's better than what he is because of his draft status.
Maybe we can get Marion as well. Perhaps Butler + Bledsoe for Marion + Mayo.
Marion's owed 9.3 mil plus a 15% trade kicker and Mayo's contract will most likely be 8 mil+ per year. Don't think so.
Don't you talk about my Mayo like that!!!! I relish the fact that you've mustard the strength to ketchup to me.
I wouldn't trade Bledsoe for Mayo straight up. Draft pick or picks should be added. There are 2 positions in the NBA that a good player can be traded to get a better player and that's if you are a PG or C. You cannot under estimate the skill it takes to play those positions. Bledsoe's value is much better than OJ Mayo's value who every few months still says he wants to try out point guard.
I agree but bledsoe doesn't really fit our team needs as much as OJ does.
oj needs the ball in his hands to be "effective". the team needs someone that can be effective w/o the ball and hit a 3.
doesnt fit.
Would hate to see Crawford go but Mayo is a better overall player and much younger. Butler is a good trade asset to have.
40% from 3 isn't good enough? If we can get a player who can also handle the ball, it will take so much more pressure off of CP.
Does fit.
Sounds like a guy named Arron Afflalo.
Have to agree with ya caps, i don't think it gets any better than this... and if its just bledsoe wed still have caron to trade off for something later
Not sure how it can be just Bled, someone has to be added to make the $ work.
Caron for Majo.
*Edit...Stand corrected, yes it can be just EB as Dallas is so far under the cap.
jj redick fits MUCH better than OJ
He did, but think he'll be in a Minny uniform fairly soon.
Caron + Bled for Mayo + Crowder or Larkin(I wish)
Now that sir is a trade we can agree on. Love Crowder.
I'm mixed on mayo, when you look at his stats like 3pt % and steals he looks like an ideal player for us. Then you look at his wins shared and usage rate and I shy away. I'll be happy with whichever one we sign with doc's approval. I do like that Mayo is younger than the others too, some people don't really grow up until their mid twenties he might just be at the perfect fit. Redick is the best shooter in my opinion (visual test), afflalo is the best fit, oj has the most potential.
After he's grilled by Doc I hope he'll be a weiner.
Yes, what I wrote already yesterday becomes true in any shape or form. We are keeping Bled and Caron is alone (or will be combined with some other asset then Bled) in that deal.
I still think it should be only Caron because if we include e.g. J-Craw or some other there must be a much better return.
Budinger re-signed with Minnesota, could take them out of the market for J.J.
Budinger's a sf.
I read something saying it might be one or the other for them.
Don't think so...same with this guy.
Looks like I was right.
This thread along with a ton of others can wither away now and make room for a ton of new threads about how excited everyone is ahaha

Starting a Walking Team: The Facts
This year, as President Obama and Congress work together to enact health reform that reduces health care costs for families, businesses, and government; guarantees choice of doctors, hospitals, and insurance plans; and assures quality affordable health care for all Americans, we hope that you will participate by promoting healthy lifestyles in your community – a key to avoiding costly disease and improving the nation's health.
A brisk, half-hour walk five or more days a week can reduce the risk of developing:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Arthritis
- Some cancers
The 30-minute daily walking routine also boosts brain power, helps control weight, requires modest investments of time and money, increases productivity, and – because of its benefits, promoting alertness and health – a walking regimen may lead to reduced health care costs. At a rate of 74 percent, AARP members who are active say that walking is their most regular type of exercise.
Research shows that walking itself promotes physical activity. Since walking is also an "entry level" form of exercise – i.e. people who develop daily walking routines are likely to eventually practice yoga, go biking, or join in other athletic pursuits – AARP believes walking programs are the first step to push greater numbers of 50+ Americans to keep fit.
So, if starting a walking group doesn't sound like a volunteer activity to you, think again. Your efforts can have a tremendous impact on the health and well-being of your community. Alternatively, you may choose to keep your act of service small, by asking a friend or neighbor to walk with you on a regular basis. Even this one simple act can make a world of difference. So, don't wait, get walking!
This year, commit yourself and a team of your friends, family, and neighbors to help increase healthy exercise habits and join United We Serve. This tool kit will give you the basics to recruit a team, organize your group, and make an impact.

Site Map | All Content © 2016 Skidders Footwear, Inc.
Skidders Footwear Inc.'s line of innovative products has grown immensely since opening their doors for business back in mid-2008. With safety at the core of Skidders unique line of gripper footwear products, the brand is crafted to fit a family's active lifestyle with a range of socks and shoes that are comfortable, versatile, stylish and safe. What started out a few years ago as a small collection of toddler shoes, Skidders now has 30 collections and over 550 styles.
Skidders Footwear made their debut with the original Skidders Shoe - a patented children's shoe that features a soft flexible rubber outsole that provides enhanced traction indoors and outdoors. The machine-washable shoes were an instant hit with parents who loved the added protection and easy pull-on and pull-off capability. Next, the New York-based company decided to create a 'true' gripper sock. Unlike the typical grip socks with little dots on the bottom, Skidders developed and launched the original Skidders Sock, featuring a fully fused gripper bottom for maximum traction on hardwood and tile floors.
Skidders then underwent a fast pace licensing expansion and developed dynamic collections to include licenses from MLB Baseball Teams, NCAA Collegiate Teams and NFL Football Teams, as well as character brands such as Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go and Thomas the Tank.
Furthermore, in response to popular demand from over 100,000 fans on Skidders Facebook page, Skidders launched a Women's Collection of Gripper Socks and Slippers for all those mothers running around on wood floors chasing after their kids. Skidders has developed several new collections for women to include Spa Grip Socks, Fitness Grip Socks, Comfort Flat Shoes, Licensed NFL and CLC products and several more products that are still in the development pipeline.
Today, Skidders products are sold in over 25 countries and to over 10,000 retail outlets across the United States. As Skidders Footwear continues to grow, they remain focused on innovative products that improve and nurture a healthy, active and fulfilling lifestyle for both the Mother and their children. The full collection can be viewed at their website SKIDDERS.com.
Skidders Shoes are protected by the United States Patent and Trademark office with Utility Patent US 8,371,042 B2 and Design Patent US D619,790 S.
Skidders Shoes - Pediatricians and podiatrists agree that a baby's first walking shoes should be flexible, thin and lightweight. The child should be able to feel the ground underneath the foot. The original Skidders Shoes provide added benefits using a soft rubber outsole for enhanced traction indoors on wood and tile floors, and also durable enough to use outdoors and at the playground. Furthermore, the knit upper allows kids to dress themselves without fuddling with laces or velcro straps, giving them the confidence to be independent.
Pediatricians and podiatrists also agree that the shoes should fit snugly around the child's foot but still be comfortable. Skidders shoes are extremely comfortable.
Skidders Socks - Children need to be safe when running around a house with wood and smooth tile flooring. The Skidders gripper sock collection provide enhanced traction to prevent slipping and falling. Our innovative grip socks are unlike any other socks on the market because we care about safety. Other companies put simple dots on the sock bottom and call them non-slip. We don't agree! At Skidders footwear, we make real gripper socks that are soft, comfortable and truly non-slip.
Skidders Slippers – Skidders introduced a collection of Slipper Grips & Gripper Slippers for Baby, Kids and Women. The Slipper Grips are plush foot coverings with Sherpa lining and fused gripper bottoms to keep feet warm and cozy. The Gripper Slipper collection is a more durable slipper shoe developed using our proprietary Skidders outsole so kids can wear them outdoors too!
Safety at Home – Falling down is the #1 injury in the home and it can be prevented. If you're going to walk around your home, especially if you have wood or smooth tiles floors, you should have socks with non-slip bottoms. At Skidders, we make Gripper Footwear to provide enhanced traction and safety. Our gripper socks have durable treads with full coverage, while also making sure the fit is comfortable and secure.
Skidders Shoes are designed and manufactured with your child's safety in mind. The Skidders web shop Skidders.com offers a breadth of products that will put you at ease when your little boy or girl is running around the house. With Skidders Shoes and Skidders Socks, each step can be taken with confidence!
Let kids be kids and send them off on their indoor adventures wearing skid-proof Skidders Kids Socks, Skidders Kids Shoes and Skidders Gripper Slippers. Let your child move freely and confidently without worrying about slipping or falling! We hear parents tell us often that their kids say "I love my Skidders" and that means we're making great products.
Skidders also has a few unique products on the Skidders web shop, such as Skidders Gripper Knee Pads to help propel crawling babies forward with confidence, and Skidders Gripper Tights for toddler girls to wear around the house with worrying about slipping and falling on wood or tile floors. Skidders also makes Sun Grip Water Shoes and Casual Sport Shoes.
Skidders is an authorized licensee of Nickelodeon's Dora, Diego and Spongebob Squarepants, HIT's Thomas the Tank, all of MLB's Major League Baseball franchised teams, all of NFL Football Teams and over 25 CLC collegiate NCAA teams! Skidders is also under contract to license many more global brands, so keep checking our Skidders web shop at Skidders.com for more product introductions.
The Skidders Footwear Company is a skid-proof footwear specialist and we will continue to develop and innovate new products all the time. Visit us at SKIDDERS.com and keep a lookout for more Skidders!
