Thank you Bill
Thank you!
Listening to this a few months late but thought I'd ask a question anyway.
You mentioned that aircraft and automobile structures aren't truly grounded (aircraft chassis are usually connected to earth during ground maintenance, autos aren't).
With the proliferation of 12 VDC-to-115 VAC inverters, some of them built-in to new SUVs, has safety become a concern because of possible high voltage differences in potential between the auto's chassis and earth?
Lokking Forward to the next one
This lecture was action packed
Lots of informative things to think about
Thanks Jennifer, Thanks Bill
Picking Up Day Three
Thank you Bill,
High/Low side sensing goes to V(+) or V(-)
Ground is ground =>earth
Hello form Oregon
thank you Bill,
nice presentation
I use both in my designs
high/low side - depends where the load is placed
gnd is something very simple for someone who know how to use it (all types), and complicated for others -:)
Thanks Bill. Excellent presentation
I'm familiar with high side and low side sensing
good day to all
thank you good info
Looking forward for tomorrow's lecture...
Thank you, Bill!
same here... not a single cetrificate since January...
same here, never got anything yet.
thank you checkman.
Time to earn my keep. see all tomorrow.
ok, will look into both, thanks
@cmeadows6959, checkman, I was wondering about that too. I haven't received any of the promissed certificates since attending back in January.
@cmeadows6959-Please let me look into this for you
I have been wondering how and when Do I Graduate? I have benn enrolled since Jan (session one and two)with passable grades. Do we really get a certificate?
ok, thanks Bill! bye all...
OK, that's it until tomorrow. Thanks to all for attending and your questions/answers.
Jojo--no, IMO, your problem is not the cap value, there is a problem elsewhere. Even huge caps could only supply 2A for a short while. Something somewehere, not the cap, is sourcing actual current.
Listening to the recorded session...
Oops... late for the live session again...
OK, we're past the mid-week hump, day #4 is tomorrow. Signing off now, as we used to say in radio land.
@bicyclebill: The current is a steady state. The configuration is as follows: 115VAC to EMI line filter to switch to system entry point. I tend to agree with the effect of caps in the line filter. should I get a line filter with lower cap value?
Bye All and Thx Bill
Thanks Bill!
We're coming up on 3:00 ET, so this session is coming to a close soon. Thanks to all. See ya' tomorrow, hopefully.
Jojo--if it not a miswired outlet or switch (or defective switch--could be) then probe with a voltmeter looking for potential difference (aka voltage)--since that is what drives the current you are seeing.
jojo--wow, that's nasty. You'll have go go through things connector, wire, and chassis inch by inch, look for intentionmal or unintentional contact points. That's a lot of current to be leaking through. Whatever you do, use an isolated (battery powered) meter--not a plug-in.
Mis-wired outlet?? The power switch is turning off the neutral....
Not really, it is always there when the power is turned off which presents a safety hazard.
jojo--current can't come from nowhere, of course. But first--is that 2A steady state or a transient? If a transient, it may be from caps in the line filter. In general, caps anywhere in a system are a potential source of unexpected current flow (and voltage sparks) even after primary power is shut off. Old TVs for famous for this, with their high voltage supplies--you get get a lethal spark 30-60 minutes after shutting it off.
@ Jojo,Back EMI?
@JoJo : Discharge of Stored Energy?
@bicyclebill: I have 115VAC supplying power to my system. This 115VAC is going through an EMI line filter prior to entering the system. When I turn off the 115VAC switch to my system I measure approximately 2A flowing in my ground wire. Can you please explain why I am measuring 2A flowing in my ground wire?
I can see why you'd put the instrumentation electronics behind an isolation transformer, but I guess I don't really see why you would need to isolate your shunt... I'm just trying to think of a scenerio.
Anyone else? I welcome your questions--and even if I don't have the answer, I suspect someone in our audience will.
thanks for that answer.
cmeadows6959: most test transducers are pretty stable-unless there are dramatic shifts in ambient temp, or their dissipation, or they have been overloaded. But if they are "moved" they may need recal due to ambient magnetic fields, for example.
NSL22--if you have an isolation transformer, you'd usually place the shunt after it.
How often should our test transducers be calibrated?
Ivek--sorry, that's outside the scope of time we had, except we will touch on it briefly on the last day. But vendors have lots of good detailed specs.
Thanks Bill, great presentation!
so you place your shunt after a isolation transformer?
Are you planning on discussing isolation/common mode voltage ratings of certain devices/circuits?
NLS22--it depends--one side of a single-phase AC line is called common, usually also connected to earth ground. Three phase not so. But most AC line measurements use an isolated coil, so high/low side is not an issue. And it's safer, too.
Check out our Model 2802 Power Analyzer, it has the ability to be connected to External Shunts, Rogowski Coils, Hall Effects or with use with our built in Shunts, we are used for Energy Star Compliance, IEC62301 and high power applications.
OK, thanks. For measuring AC, is there still such thing as High Side/Low Side reference?
NSL22--this is the Q&A--your questions and audience answers are welcome; I will also try to answer.
Energiman--you need a scope or equivalent to see what you have, and there are power meters for non-sine rms situations. It depends on what you are trying to see: power factor, waveform shape, transients, or just power used.
is this where you're having the Q&A?
I'm using Rogowski & Dent module to measure mains kW & am seeing 8% difference vs utility meter - why?
Thanks again.
Can I please have a T-shirt in XL ?
Mr E: to verify isolation, I suggest two things: look at the drawings--assumng you have them, and measure with an ohmmeter, just to be extra sure (and be sure all power is off, first). You should see infinite resistance. If you don't--find out why--where is that current flowing? But also be sure nothing changes state when you turn power on (such as a relay) which chnages the isolation situation.
Bill what considerations are needed if looking at a non-sinusoidal power signal e.g. Variable speed drives?
Great Presentation Bill, sorry that Mondays did not go through.
I want a T-shirt, please.
keep up the good work. Rodney Rutherford
Thanks...enjoyed presentation.
Thank you great series...back to work
tthanks bill. great prespective.
When lookinmg at Test Equipment verify if the unit is electrically isolated, for Sensors, we calibrate and or verfiy the Sensor with known currents flowing through them and can then characterize the performance with in our Power Analyzer.
Thanks Bill and Jenn.
Thanks! Excellent presentation & information.
Thx. Bill and Jen.
Thank you Bill and Jeniffer
Jennifer, Is there a way to download the archived audio to listen off line?
Interesting session, thanks
@Bill & Jennifer- Thanks for the presentation!
Good seminar thanks.
Thanks Bill and Jennifer.
Are your CTs and VTs rated for custody transfer (ie accurate)?
Audio went away.
@bicyclebill: Is there a way to verify the electrically isolated interface before you connect to the unit under test?
it happens
Yes I am familar with high and low side sensing
What Bill calls "differential effect" sounds suspiciously like what some call "common mode rejection".
My audio was intermittent until I 'paused' the audio for 5 seconds. Now I have a 5 sec buffer and have had no problems since.
Thanks Bill and Jen - got to go for now
See you tomorrow
Great content!

no audio
OK. I take back #1. :)
High side is the point at a potential furtherest from ground in the system. Commonly the side not ground
Zero potential
I have no audio
I have no audio, maybe my co's blocking
Ground: safety - path for leakage & fault currents; signal - return path; RF - capacitive plane
1. A reference for all voltages in a system.
2. Hi Side = the side of a transformer with the highest voltage (usually the incoming). Lo Side = the side of a transformer with the lowest voltage.
3. No
hi, loud and clear
ground is earth ground - not circuit common.
I'm familiar with difference between high side and low side sensing and control, we use the techniques in most of our embedded designs.
good day
Ground is a point kept at (or close) to the potential of the actual earth
I can hear it this time!

Trayvon Martin's family marks 1-year anniversary with vigil in New York
17-year-old shot, killed by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman
Tuesday marks exactly one year since the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
The 17-year-old was shot and killed by former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in the central Florida town of Sanford.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming that he shot Martin in self-defense.
Zimmerman's trial begins in June.
Meanwhile, Martin's family is marking the anniversary with a candlelight vigil in New York City.
Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, are scheduled to take part in an event Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. in Union Square Park, along with their attorneys and others. A moment of silence is scheduled for 7:17 p.m.

If it is not the most popular game at church, it certainly is near the top. It is called Lets You and Him Fight. The rules are simple. Practically every church has a member who is strong-willed and outspoken. This member usually has an assertive personality. Over time this member has gained influence in the congregation and is used to getting his or her own way.
Enter the pastor. Not just any pastor will do for this game. To play, the pastor has to believe in shared ministry. That is, he has to believe that God calls and gives gifts to lay members of the church to lead and minister. The pastor has to believe that he is to help equip lay members for ministry and help guide them to places of service.
A part of shared ministry is shared leadership. To play Lets You and Him Fight, the pastor has to believe that God can speak out of the group decision-making process just as clearly as God can speak to the pastor. After all, God spoke to the church at Antioch about setting aside Barnabas and Paul for ministry (Acts 13).
If the pastor practices a different style of leadership, churches often play a game called My Way or the Highway, but that is another story.
Lets You and Him Fight can also be played with a family in the church. The family has to possess the traits of the individual member described above strong-willed, outspoken, assertive and used to getting its own way.
With the key players in place, the rest of the congregation now performs a crucial function. They encourage the fight. This must be done subtly so key players do not realize they are being manipulated.
Here is how it works. Suppose the member and the pastor are at the same meeting. It could be a deacons meeting, a finance committee meeting or a building committee meeting. It could even be a church business meeting. The type of meeting does not matter. Anyway, a work group brings a report it believes is important for the church. The pastor, of course, has been a part of the work group and supports the recommendation.
The member usually opposes the recommendation. (For the game to work properly, the member should not be on the work group. If he or she is, only things approved by the member will ever get to the whole committee). Usually the member will voice objections many times during the meeting. His or her feelings will dominate. In deference to the member, the committee will take no action.
Now the game begins. After the committee meeting, others in the church privately talk to the pastor about their feelings. This can be done immediately after the meeting adjourns. It can be in the parking lot after others leave. A phone call is appropriate. Better yet, invite the pastor to lunch and then share your message.
Of course, the message must always be that you support the recommendation and do not understand why the vocal member opposes such an obvious benefit for the church. The pastor should be encouraged to talk with the member in question and see if he or she will change positions.
Now the pastor is trapped by his own values. He believes in consensus group leadership. That means he must talk to the opposing member. He believes in group leadership. That means he must support what he believes the majority understands as the will of God in the matter.
The game has begun in earnest. The vocal member will rarely change his mind. That means others in the church must continually encourage the pastor to support the recommendation, to represent the majority, to stand up to the member and to lead. The message is Lets You and Him Fight.
A single round of the game can go on for months. From the safety of the sidelines, the membership will see emotions become more intense, exchanges sharper. Keen observers will even see changes in the pastor physical changes, emotional changes, spiritual changes. Changes in the member might be noticed. He might turn against the pastor and begin a movement to fire him.
In the game Lets You and Him Fight, it is OK to fire the pastor. That just means another person will come to the church, and the game can start all over again.
One caution. A church must be careful about the kind of people it allows into its membership. As long as a church enjoys playing Lets You and Him Fight, members will cower before the strong members voice in public settings. They will conclude there is widespread opposition to church plans when it is actually the voices of a handful speaking many times that are in opposition.
They will urge the pastor to lead but never speak publicly in support of the majority recommendation. They will always be concerned about the feelings, the offerings, the something-or-other of the member but demonstrate apathy toward the pastors well-being.
A church that enjoys playing Lets You and Him Fight must never allow a fellow committee member to say, Brother, I respect you but I disagree with you. No one must ever point out the frequent sound of a few voices. No form of group accountability can be tolerated. For example, if the member is a deacon, the deacons must not hold the member accountable for his actions or words in their meetings or outside their meetings.
It is OK for the pastor to believe in shared ministry, but members of the church must not accept any notion of mutual responsibility or accountability. To do so would undermine the foundation of this popular game. Lets You and Him Fight calls for all other members to act like observers, to sit back and watch the game unfold.
To act like they had responsibility for how the church acts and what the church does would make it impossible to play Lets You and Him Fight.
Rev. Dr. Fred Andrea is Aikens First Baptist Churchs pastor.

Aiken School Superintendent Dr. Beth Everitt and the School Board officers — Chairwoman Rosemary English and Vice Chairman Ray Fleming – discussed their goals and needs for the Aiken County School District during 2013.
Dr. Beth Everitt
In 2013, students in Aiken County will have a variety of opportunities to challenge and support students' learning, she said.
"Being well-prepared for college or the workforce remains a major focus," said Everitt. "However, shaping our youth to be responsible and caring citizens should be just as important."
Through service-learning, clubs, the arts and athletics, "our students can grow into valued employees, community members and neighbors," she said. "Thanks to all the staff and volunteers that share their talent and time with our students. In 2013, help Aiken County be as strong in academics, as in character."
To learn, students must feel safe, Everitt said. Along with local law enforcement, district officials will assess the safety of the schools and will recommend actions to reinforce the security of district facilities and campuses.
"We look forward to working with our parents and community through the next few months," Everitt said.
Rosemary English
One of the big issues, English said, is that academic improvement continues to function at the highest levels on the SAT and ACT standardized tests, as well as the High School Assessment Program (HSAP) and the state test PASS.
"We will look to have more funding so that we will be able to meet our needs," English said.
Echoing Everitt's remarks, the board chairwoman wants all children and employees to be able to work in a safe environment that is conducive to learning.
In 2011, School Board members under the lead of Wesley Hightower established a communications committee — attended regularly by board members, administrators, guests from other districts and community residents.
"We want to keep a very open line of communication, accentuating the positives and also work on improvement," English said. "We have a good relationship between the schools and the community."
Ray Fleming
Throughout 2013, Fleming is looking forward to see ongoing facility work at Aiken High School, Jackson Middle School and Busbee Corbett Elementary Middle School. Aiken High is getting a new classroom wing and athletic field house. Jackson is moving forward on a new cafeteria/kitchen and front entrance, while the gym at Corbett is getting a new restroom.
During 2013, North Augusta High School will see the initial construction of a new wing, Fleming said. Ridge Spring-Monetta High School will start new construction toward a long-term process for a middle school wing on the campus.
"We've got a lot of activity coming up," said Fleming. "We want to keep pushing efforts to identify a funding source for our facilities, either a one-cent sales tax or other opportunities."
He, too, is looking for continued work through the communication committee.
"A new budget is always there, and we have to deal with it," Fleming said. "We'll have some uncertainties with it, and I hope we can have some positive trends in the budget that we observed last year."
It's also important to continue providing an increasingly rich learning environment for every child, he said.
"That includes the arts, music and chorus," Fleming said. "It's a big part of the learning process and if the budget permits it, I'd like to do more of it."

The UNFCCC Compendium on methods and tools to evaluate impacts of, and vulnerability and adaptation to, climate change is designed to assist Parties and other potential users in selecting the most appropriate methodology for assessments of impacts and vulnerability, and preparing for adaptation to climate change. The Compendium was developed in 1999 and updated in 2003, 2005, 2008 and more recently in 2009.
At its 28th Session, the SBSTA requested the secretariat to develop, by its thirty-second session and in collaboration with relevant organizations, institutions and networks, a user-friendly version of the Compendium.
In collaboration with a large number of organizations, institutions and networks present at the International Workshop on Mainstreaming Adaptation to Climate Change: guidance and tools, Berlin, Germany, 28-30 May 2009, the secretariat updated relevant existing entries and added new entries related to mainstreaming climate change adaptation into development cooperation.
To make it more user-friendly and easily accessible, the compendium is now available online, with all entries searchable through three filters: sector (e.g. agriculture, forestry, etc), theme (climate scenarios, impact assessment, etc), and type (e.g. guidance document, modelling tool etc).
To ensure that new, robust and practical methods and tools are included in the compendium, and the current entries up to date, please send your suggestions for new entries and updates to existing ones using the form.

I wrote yesterday that I wanted to look again at my Carlisle connections in preparation for a possible visit to the archives next year and Margaret SEWELL is one of those connection, so she seems a good place to start.
Margaret SEWELL was my 4x great-grandmother and although I have written much about her husband Thomas KINGHORN (of mail coach fame), I know very little about Margaret herself.
I don't know a lot about Margaret's early years, from her burial record I know she was born around 1777 and from the 1841 census I know she was born in the county of Cumberland. Unfortunately she died before the 1851 census, so I don't know exactly where in Cumberland it was.
Margaret married Thomas KINGHORN on the 5th May 1803 at St. Cuthbert's Church, Carlisle, Cumberland. The marriage was by licence, which may provide further clues, an index of the marriage-licence allegation and bond records that Margaret was from the parish of St. Cuthbert's, Carlisle (which doesn't necessarily mean that was where she was born). There is a reference to a George SEWELL of Carlisle, but I am not sure whether this relates to the allegation or bond or what his relation to Margaret was (father, brother or uncle?).
Margaret and Thomas had six children, it appears that all six were born in Moffat, Dumfriesshire, Scotland (presumably where Thomas was based whilst working as a mail guard) but were baptised at St. Cuthbert's Church, Carlisle south of the Scottish border.
- John KINGHORN (baptised 30th October 1803)
- Mary KINGHORN (baptised 3rd August 1806)
- Thomas KINGHORN (baptised 13th March 1808) [my 3x great-grandfather]
- Abraham KINGHORN (baptised 10th June 1810)
- Elizabeth KINGHORN (baptised 19th March 1815)
- George KINGHORN (baptised 11th May 1817)
I am not yet sure what happened to their two daughters Mary and Elizabeth, but only one of their sons (George) remained in Carlisle. Both Margaret and her husband appear to have remained in Carlisle. Thomas died in 1833, aged 52 and was buried at St. Cuthbert's Church.
In 1841 we find Margaret living in the Botchergate area of Carlisle at No. 2 King Street. Her age is given as 60 years old (presumably rounded down from 64 years) and she is of independent means, possibly some sort of pension or benefit from her husband's time with the Royal Mail.
Margaret's death was registered in Q2 1850 in the Carlisle Registration District (I don't yet have her death certificate) and she was buried at St. Cuthbert's Church (presumably with her husband) on the 4th May 1850.

Great news! Well deserved!
This is awesome news!!! Huge congrats, Jamal! So well-deserved.
Yes! Great news after a great day yesterday. This should help the team. They could certainly do with more good news.
Congrats JC!
It's debatable whether or not he was the best choice but i'm just glad somebody on this great team got some kind of recognition. It's a whole lot better than Taj accepting the award after he's been eliminated
Nicely done JC,now win us a championship
Great timing just around he's getting hot
I was hard on him for struggling versus Memphis in the post-season, but looking at RB and KD in OKC, I think I was too harsh on him. He's been big the last two games. Still I know many people still hold there breaths every-time he touches the ball.
But congrats to Crawford.
Jamal Crawford, the definition of "no no no no YESSSS!"
mazel tov, Jamal.
Congrats Jamal! Keep up the production!
More great news! Man...if the Clippers can win a championship after all of this, I will be ecstatic. Talk about a roller coaster ride. A championship would be the ultimate thank you from the team for us sticking by them for this entire time.
Congrats JC! He's having a pretty good 24 hour turnaround, would'nt you say?
While the award is for '6th man', that should include stepping in and taking the starting role when injuries dictate. He did a great job as a starter, really became more of a team player (as opposed to a more offensive minded one as a sub).
Congrats JC!!
Congrats Jamal! Well deserved!
I was worried that East Coast bias was going to win Gibson the award, like with J.R. Brick last year.
I feel like he deserved it more last season than this season but still well deserved!
Congratulations to Jamal! What an honor, and just shows what an integral part of this Clipper team he is. Baller!
I haven't seen anyone post it and I think we should talk about it because at the age of 34 Jamal Crawford win the 6th man of the year award according to sources.
I'm so happy he won it he decadently deserved its after being robbed last year and this year he has just been outstanding.
Well deserved. But really, what I'm happier about is that he's showing up so far in the playoffs, he was huge last night in the 4th.
Congrats to Jamal Crawford! Honestly one of the most genuine and nicest guys in the entire league. Glad he's started to play like he can in these playoffs, and even hit a dagger jumper in game 5. Granted, his defense is not great, but it's much better than it has been in previous years. He's definitely bought into Doc's system and deserves this award! Happy for him and the team!
Shhh don't tell anyone but the last 4 playoff games he is averaging over 17 ppg and shooting 48% from the field
Well deserved. In all honesty he should be a 3x SMOTY not 2x. Glad the NBA got it right this time.
btw, remember when a lot of people were concerned that Jamal was having an attitude problem coming into this season? What a turnaround.
He deserves it.
Grats JC, pulled a killer crossover on Taj snapped his ankles and took the award LOL
I really didn't see any competition for this award this year.
JC has been balling all season and in the playoffs has erased
the stigma about disappearing in the playoffs.
Congrats to Jamal.
Well deserved!
Well said. He's definitely the best at making impossible/difficult shots.
yes, true he has turned it around. but he was also a dick coming into this season....jealous of the Redick acquisition. To his defense he has been a pro since but he did have his diva moment
Well deserved... now go out there and prove to everyone they made the right choice by dropping 50 on Golden State for a win by 35 pints.
When is he actually getting it?
How come he's not getting a press conference like all the other awards?
Congrats Jamal!!!
The East Coast media tried to make up a competition with Taj Gibson, but happily, voters saw through that bullshit.
because he is a member of the Los Angeles Clippers. I am still waiting for the official announcement stating Jamal Crawford has won the award (every other award has been handed out)...
It's been officially announced by the NBA. I hope this great news sparks the Clippers to play well in Game 3.
taj deserves to be up there, he is a beast on both ends of the court, if given the chance you would give your left arm to sign him up
Hey... We are gonna win the next game because Adam Silver will have to give the award to Jamal and the officiating will be in our favor. Damn... I was waiting for Jamal to start crying so we could get the calls
its official now the best 'chucker' in the league
Something tells me Sixth Man of the Year doesn't come with the same rigged reffing that MVP does, but I hope I'm wrong.
Pleased for Jamal. It was funny when he said that his fiance asked if Doc could adopt them.
Congrat Jcross
Guys come on we did NOT lose last game cause of reffing, it was essentially a blow out with our bench cutting the thread, we lost cause our defense was Terrible.
great job JCross. love those moves, I would love to see him use those skills in keeping the wife away from the remote
I disagree partially. The CP fouls changed the GAME entirely. He goes out we can not keep up. With CP in the game, it would have not been a blowout.
Still, REBOUNDS and BG were major problems. This needs to be fixed.
I think you got the wrong thread
JC is one of the most skilled, talented one on one players in NBA history. He has been an absolute joy to watch. I marvel at his moves. Truly one of the most smoothest players to ever lace them up. He's 34 now so the decline might happen anytime so I'm going to enjoy him while he's still got something left.
I remember when eyebrows were raised about the signing of Jamal Crawford. He may not be the most well rounded player, but he's one of the most fun players to watch. There's not too many players like him in the league.
HAHA, all that defense not played by Jamal was actually a great strategy to have a prolonged career. There's no reason why Jamal can't be a Vince Carter type player at age 37. Vince probably still has another 2 years left in the tank too.

WOW! What great fast-break sequences by the Clips!
Our team rebounding looks so much better the forwards are coming in to rebound.
Jamal got away with a travel there
Good first half Clips.
Wow, the Clippers have actually been pulling away with Blake on the bench. Who would've thunk?
Doc should build on Dudlet confidence a try to get a quick pass Dudley mid j
Jordan's back taps used to suck. Now they work. lol
Jamal taking over after that horsecrap call on Blake. I'm loving it!
Blake has 21 points at the half.
Kevin "No-Defense Stat-Padder" Love has 19 right now in the 4th against a worse team.
i hate how BG always has huge first quarters but then rarely touches the ball in the second. i got excited over there, i thought he was going for 50!
Jamal's been shooting really well. He's having another amazing game. Keep it up, Jamal!
Foul trouble
I've noticed that blake never gets the ball in the third.
Could be worse for the raptors right now.. They could be in Sochi
Eh he barely got to play in the 2nd lol. He played a bit over two minutes then picked up two fouls.
LOL, why are we bringing up Kevin Love exactly?
Because people actually think he's better than Blake.
I like Jamal, our Mr 4th quarter, but now he is carrying the team because of
Blake 3 fouls.
Ever since he went to the bench (even though he's starting tonight)
may not be dirty by intention, but that's a flagrant.
I don't think its a flagrant but i won't complain haha
Flagrant his ass!
Hold up, so if blake made that dunk would he have 2 extra fts and then possession?
probably would've been a no-call.
Meh, people think a lot of things, and it's not like he sucks
Great sequence right there!
Maybe we'll get to see some Hedovic play.
Great hustle all around by Clips. Barn3s knocks down a three.
That was awesome!
Love better rebounder and three point shooter but blake is a much better ball handler and more dynamic scorer. They are both awesome
clock them in the f***** face next time they hack. they're down by 20 for christ sakes
Lol hack a dj? Good ft practice for DJ I guess.
Jamal playing some ball watching defense there, can't go running to Blake's man who has picked up the ball and help one pass away off your man who is running to the corner for a three, lol
this is ridiculous
Dwayne Casey is a scumbag and this is low
Blake is seething
This is ridiculous.
can we have a fan rush the court and punch Dwayne Casey in the face? Like.......
Geez, this intentional foul on DJ is just so annoying.
yeh.... this is basketball right here for **** sakes
Meh, Blake shouldn't have fouled there...but no biggie considering the score.
What if this were to happen in the playoffs, that would be terrible!
I have no qualms with this hacking. DJ just has to make his free throws.
From now on Dwane Casey is a piece of sh1t for me.
Okay Toronto is really ticking me off with this hack-a-DJ stuff. Its not necessary when you are down by 17. ITS CRAZY
Dang, DJ will just need to make his free throws.
Hope the Raptors are proud of themselves. This is an absolutely unwatchable product now because they're too scared to guard us straight-up.
oh my god. This is a f***** disgrace

Despite my general lack of interest in the latest technology I do try to keep my software up to date, especially when it doesn't cost me any money. It made sense to upgrade my web browser to Firefox 4, it was supposed to be quicker and more secure after all.
The upgrade was straight-forward, it took a while to get used to the slightly different appearance and I can't say that I noticed any increase in speed and take their word for it that it is more secure.
Disaster (OK, perhaps that I a bit too strong a word for it) came a couple of days ago when I tried to use the Enhanced Image Viewer on Ancestry.co.uk. Everything looked fine to start with (the scroll bars still didn't work but I am used to that) but the problems started when I tried to save an image.
The first image saved fine, but when I tried another the browser started playing up. When the dialog box opened up and I tried to type in a filename the browser would freeze for a minute or so and I couldn't type anything or it would let me type a few characters before locking up. Eventually the page disappeared and I was left to try again.
The only workaround appeared to be to close the browser down after saving an image and then opening it up again and moving on to the next image, not really a practical solution for a family historian short on time. I probably could have viewed the images without the Enhanced Image Viewer, but I do quite like the functionality it provides, so I have downgraded to Firefox 3.6 for now.
I was trying to keep up to date, but in this case technology has let me down. I don't know who is to blame, presumably Mozilla have updated something and Ancestry need to update their viewer to take that into account.
Still, it is rather frustrating and I wasted too much of my time trying to get it to work and then having to roll-back to Firefox 3.6, so please get it fixed Ancestry or tell me how I can make it work properly.

Stunning win on Opening Day
That Reds penchant for the drama didn't disappear after an off-season. Ramon Hernandez brought it all back, and then, some with a stunning three-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. It gave the Reds a 7-6 win.
Cincinnati came into the ninth down 6-3 against Brewers closer John Axford. A fun conclusion for the Reds and their 42,398 fans at GABP…but not a well-played game overall.
*The Reds were 1-for-10 RISP with 10 LOB. They were 0-for-9 before Hernandez came through.
*Edinson Volquez was rocked for three homers, including two in a row to start the game. Carlos Gomez hit the second one and it sailed 429 feet into the upper deck of right field. Not a cheapie by any stretch.
*Jonny Gomes made an error fielding Ryan Braun's two-out single. It put Braun on 2B and a Jordan Smith balk later put runners on second and third. A possibly tough insurance run scored on Casey McGehee single.
*The Reds were resilent, give them credit. They did not pack it in on a freezing cold day.
*Brandon Phillips' nifty slide step to avoid McGehee's tag saved a rally. McGehee should have just thrown to first base and that game likely doesn't end like it did. Scott Rolen hustled hard to beat the throw to first base, as well. Asked to describe his speed, Rolen dryly replied "Electric."
*Credit the Reds bullpen, especially Sam LeCure and winning pitcher Logan Ondrusek for keeping Milwaukee in check.
*Gomes nearly won the game himself with a long screamer of a fly to center field. It went for a sac fly but put Hernandez in position to win the game.
*Check out this photo gallery from the game.
*The last Reds walk-off home run on Opening Day came from the bat of Joe Randa on 4/7/2005 vs. the Mets in a 7-6 win.
*Hernandez is the fifth Reds player to collect four hits on Opening Day.
*The Reds are now 4-9-1 in their last 14 openers. The tie, incidentally came vs. MIL in 2000, after an official game was called because of rain.
*The last time a team hit two home runs to begin a season was the Reds on April 7, 1969 vs. the Dodgers. Pete Rose and Bobby Tolan each went deep against Don Drysdale at
Riverfront Stadium. Crosley Field.
*Cincinnati hadn't won an Opening Day game since 2007, so it was the first in the tenure of Dusty Baker and Walt Jocketty.
"We don't want to win it like that. We got lucky enough we got the win today. To me, it's amazing. This is one of the best opening days I've ever had in my career. I'm so happy that I helped my team and my team won a ballgame." — Ramon Hernandez
"They were getting some hits with runners in scoring position and we weren't. If you keep putting them out there, sooner or later something good is going to happen. The key is opporutunies. If you don't have opportunities, you don't have much of a chance." — Dusty Baker
"We ended the season on a walk-off last year to clinch the division and start it that way this year. We kind of struggled to put together productive innings today. We got some base runners and weren't able to capitalize and get them across. I think it's a huge shot in the arm for us to start the year. It's always great to win the first one and in that fashion, it's even more special." — Drew Stubbs, who hit a homer in the fourth inning.
"I think I was a little bit excited in the first inning. After that, I calmed down and threw my pitches." — Edinson Volquez
"Obviously, my opinion doesn't really matter. But if my first inclination was that he was not out of the baseline, I would have made sure I kept going towards him a little bit more than I did instead of also trying to make a throw. In hindsight, I wish I had just come through and made a thtow to first and not even worried about him." — Brewers 3B Casey McGehee on the non-tag of Phillips in the ninth.
"I got away with one in the at-bat before with Gomes. This time I paid for it." — John Axford, who gave up the game-ending homer to Hernandez.

What a team! Always hustling with their never say never attitude is a pleasure to watch. This style of play is infectious and helps everyone elevate their play. We are only a few seasons removed from the lack luster non-chalant teams of Griff, Dunn and Encarnacion to name a few. Looking forward to a championship season.
Loved Marty's walk-off radio call with Brantley in the background! Only one game. The big deal talk radio's making of Pujols bad day yesterday gives me the giggles. He's put up almost identical (MVP) numbers for 10 years, has one bad day, and the pundits are speculating about contract-choking. Same for us: we didn't win the NL Central yesterday. But it's good to be reminded that baseball is entertainment and the Reds last year were a very entertaining team and look to be the same this year. Go Reds!
The Rose & Tolan homers in '69 were at Crosley.

Prevention and Control: keep weeds down and use screening on windows to
keep them out. Remove or discard infested plants, keep them away from
non-infested plants. Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of
natural enemies such as predatory mites. Sometimes a good steady shower of
water will wash them off the plant. Consult your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension office for legal chemical recommendations. Pest : Spider Mites Spider mites are small, 8 legged, spider-like creatures which thrive in
hot, dry conditions (like heated houses). Spider mites feed with piercing
mouth parts, which cause plants to appear yellow and stippled. Leaf drop and plant death can occur with heavy infestations. Spider mites can multiply
quickly, as a female can lay up to 200 eggs in a life span of 30 days. They
also produce a web which can cover infested leaves and flowers.
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 : 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 : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Fungi : Powdery Mildew Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy. Pest : Caterpillars Caterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterflies. They are voracious feeders attacking a wide variety of plants. They can be highly destructive and are characterized as leaf feeders, stem borers, leaf rollers, cutworms and tent-formers.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down, scout individual plants and remove caterpillars, apply labeled insecticides such as soaps and oils, take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis (biological warfare) for some caterpillar species. Fungi : Black Spot A known rose disease, Black Spot appears on young leaves as irregular
black circles, often having a yellow halo. Circles or spore colonies may grow
to 1/2 inch in diameter. Leaves will turn yellow and drop off, only to produce
more leaves that will follow the same pattern. Roses may not make it through
the winter if black spot is severe. The fungus will also affect the size and
quality of flowers.
Prevention and Control:Plant resistant varieties for your area. Always water from the ground, never overhead. Practice good sanitation - clean up and destroy debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. When pruning roses, even deadheading, dip pruners in a bleach / water solution after each cut. If a plant seems to have chronic black spot, remove it. A 2-3 inch thick layer of mulch at the base of plant reduces splashing. Do not wait until black spot is a huge problem to control! Start early. Spray with a fungicide labeled for black spot on roses. 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. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year.

A young Aiken man who caused an uproar when he allegedly stole money from cookie-selling Girl Scouts last year pleaded guilty in court on Thursday. But he is not facing a punishment for the cookie-related crime.
James B. Gomillion III, 18, of Aiken was charged with strong arm robbery for the March 2012 attack on the Girl Scout troop selling cookies outside the Walmart on Whiskey Road. However, that charge will not be prosecuted. Instead, he admitted a separate burglary charge and received a five-year Youthful Offenders Act sentence, suspended on two years probation and paying restitution of $932.
The sentence, Circuit Court Judge Robert Hood said, was allowing the young man to have his future in his own hands, with a stiff penalty if he breaks the law again.
"I'm putting this YOA over your head," Hood said. "You've got the choice."
Hood said the choice was to behave or the people at YOA are going to punish him.
The judge's decision to give Gomillion a chance may have been aided by a positive assessment from law enforcement.
Assistant Solicitor Nick McCarley told the court that Aiken Department of Public Safety Investigator Margaret Moore said that the defendant "does have support and is salvageable."
Some of that support was in court on Thursday.
The burglary happened in September, when electronics were stolen from an Aiken Road home in Graniteville.
The Girl Scout theft caused a stir in March.
Gomillion reportedly approached the girls outside the store around 5:45 p.m.
According to reports, he was wearing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajama pants, visible Batman underwear and a white shirt when he approached the girls.
He walked up to the table and appeared as if he might be interested in the cookies when he snatched the box from the hands of a 15-year-old girl, according to reports.

Dear Scott: I am moving to a new city. How do I find a new hairstylist, dentist, doctor, etc.?
Answer: Finding someone to help you with your hair is a lot easier than finding a doctor or a dentist. It's not like you can go up to someone and tell them that you noticed how beautiful their teeth are and ask them where they bought them. With hair it's another story. After you move or the next time you are visiting, people watch. At the grocery store, a department store, or just out having lunch somewhere is a perfect time to be on the lookout. When you see someone with hair that you like, get up some courage and ask them where they have it done. They will be flattered that you noticed. You might even make a new friend.
Dear Scott: If I pay more for a haircut will that guarantee that it will be a good haircut? Is there a way to find someone that can give me a good cheap haircut? I have tried many walk-in type places but haven't had any luck so far.
Answer: Stylists that charge higher prices do so because of their experience and client demand. They usually possess the skills and foresight needed to design a cut, color, and style that works for an individual's face and lifestyle. But I wouldn't exactly say that paying more for a haircut will guarantee positive results. Your chances of being satisfied are going to be a little better, but don't forget, the same hairdressers were once fresh out of beauty school too. Just because someone is new in the business and charges less money doesn't mean that they aren't any good at their profession. You are going to have to kiss a lot of frogs to find them though.
Dear Scott: Is there a difference between salon products and over-the-counter products? What kind of over-the-counter products do you recommend that I can get at the grocery store for color treated hair?
Answer: There is a big difference between the two. Most of the over-the-counter products are high in detergents and alcohol. They give all kinds of promises of soft, shiny, silky hair in the commercials. I can tell when someone has been using bad shampoo just by touching the hair when it's wet. But, just because you buy something at a salon doesn't necessarily mean it's good either. Many salon products boast to be all-natural. Many of them claim to be safe for color treated hair and they aren't. Some companies use plant derivatives that are as harsh as the chemicals they replace. It can get very confusing at times. That's why I have my own hair care line. The last thing any client wants to have happen after spending money on hair coloring is to have it wash away after a few shampoos. Styling products can damage hair and remove hair color also. Too much alcohol will remove hair color and dry the hair with repeated use. Try this: take a piece of fabric and draw a line on it with a ball point ink pen. Take the hairspray you use on your hair and spray the line of ink. Try to get the ink out with a fresh cloth. If the ink comes out, so will your hair color with repeated use. The best thing for you to do is to ask your hairstylist what they recommend for your hair.

DENVER � The Colorado House passed four gun-control bills Monday after a debate that has drawn attention from the White House.
Vice President Joe Biden called four Colorado House Democrats, including Durango�s Mike McLachlan, on Friday to urge them to fight for the slate of bills.
�He was encouraging me to vote yes on the bills and also to hang tight in what�s been a very difficult battle,� McLachlan said.
McLachlan voted for all four bills: a 15-round limit on ammunition magazines, background checks for private-party gun sales, fees for background checks and a ban on concealed weapons at colleges.
A pro-gun group ran a full-page ad in The Durango Herald to pressure McLachlan to vote no, and his office � like many other House offices � has been flooded with calls.
The votes will reverberate beyond McLachlan�s Southwest Colorado district. President Barack Obama used his State of the Union address to call on Congress to vote on gun-control bills, and Biden � Obama�s point-man on the issue � told McLachlan that he�s looking to Colorado.
�He said that Colorado has an opportunity to become a leader in the gun-safety area, and that people are watching. I agree with the vice president on that,� McLachlan said.
In a Sunday interview on NBC, U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he thinks most senators will support a bill for universal background checks, similar to a bill the Colorado House passed Monday on a near party-line vote.
Opponents � mostly Republicans � complained about the White House lobbying.
�This is the West. I really don�t appreciate that we are being unduly influenced in this body by East Coast politicians telling us what to do,� said Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock.
But the sponsor of the ammunition magazine limit, Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, said she started working on the issue after the movie theater massacre in her district last summer, long before Obama made gun issues a national priority.
�This is not something that�s based on some kind of White House, Washington influence,� Fields said.
The debate took four hours Monday and 13 hours Friday, and it often turned emotional.
Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, was one of at least three lawmakers who choked up during the debate. He said he cared passionately about the U.S. Constitution.
�The Second Amendment is not about hunting, the Second Amendment is not our defense against pheasants. The Second Amendment is our defense as citizens against tyranny,� Holbert said.
Tyranny, he said, includes assault by criminals.
Rep. Don Coram, R-Montrose, said probably 95 percent of his constituents oppose the gun bills. His district includes Montezuma County.
He said lawbreakers will not stop buying large magazines, any more than laws prevent people from using heroin or cocaine.
�We are doing nothing today to save children�s lives,� Coram said.
A Front Range business named Magpul, which makes gun magazines, has threatened to leave the state if the bill passes. A Democratic amendment to exempt manufacturers did not placate company executives.
�If you pass this, we will leave, and you will own it,� company officials posted on their Facebook page Sunday.
Although McLachlan voted for the magazine limit, he said he would like it to be raised, perhaps to 30 rounds of ammunition. The bill still has to go to the Senate and may come back to the House later this year.
�That�s the one that I am the most recalcitrant to continue to support,� McLachlan said.
McLachlan said he talked to Magpul representatives, but they are inflexible.
�They�re taking a completely pro-NRA position, which is no limitations are allowed, so as a result of that, they�re not at the table,� he said.
All four bills now go to the Senate.

The SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare's recent campaign is leaving some residents and business owners doggone surprised.
The SPCA is conducting its "Pup-ulation Explosion" campaign during February, which is also National Spay and Neuter Month. Residents may have noticed some silly cartoon dogs popping up all over the county.
This fundraiser is similar to the pink flamingos gag in which the quirky lawn ornaments will appear in someone's yard overnight and they can pay a fee to make them go away. Once the pups appear in someone's yard, they can make a donation to the SPCA and they disappear.
The vinyl canines started appearing in the yards of SPCA board members at the beginning of the month. The colorful group of dogs include instructions for removal.
For $15, the "unwanted litter" can be picked up by animal control. For $20, the dogs can be adopted out to a friend. For $25, they can adopt the dogs out after sterilization.
After making a donation, the individual can suggest a friend or business for the dogs to move to next.
"It's been widely supported by the community," said SPCA Development Director Chrissey Morton Miller. "The response from the community has been priceless."
In fact, there has even been a call or two made by residents who are requesting that the dogs appear in their yard next.
But for such a whimsical campaign, it has a serious purpose behind it. The funds raised will go toward the SPCA's low-income spay and neuter program, which offers a discounted price to alter pets and to help purchase a transport vehicle.
The campaign also spreads awareness of the problem caused when pets are not altered – an increasing population of dogs and cats which is leading to more strays and crowded shelters.
Miller said that when someone sees the vinyl dogs, it sparks curiosity and a bit of humor but, in reality, a surprise litter of puppies or kittens are often sent to an animal shelter.
Earlier this month, the dogs made their way to Aiken High School. Linda Strojan, who serves on the SPCA board and is a senior counselor for Aiken High School, said many faculty members supported the cause and made donations.
"It's a great, fun, very novel way of raising money for spay and neuter," Strojan said. "I've had lots of people ask me about them. It has brought a lot of attention to the spay and neuter cost and how badly we need money for this program."
Local businesses have had fun with the campaign, too. The dogs splashed into the Aiken Swimming Pool on Whiskey Road earlier this week. The business' Billy Hines said they were a bit perplexed by the dogs at first but they figured it out and found it pretty comical.
"Our yard had definitely gone to the dogs," Hines quipped. "It's a wonderful program and we're glad we could participate. The element of surprise was great."
Hines sent the canines to Aiken Discount Tire on Richland Avenue. Within a few minutes of them arriving, customers were already asking Kristie Kinsey, who works the front desk, what the display was and why they were there.
"It's fun," she said laughing. "They're really cute."
Miller has appreciated the community's sense of humor and their support.
Miller added that in some neighborhoods that don't allow signs in the yard, donations have been made by those residents, too, even if they can't have the dogs make a stop in their lawn.
World Spay Day is Feb. 26, and the nonprofit will hold a Spay-ghetti Dinner at the Marr Education Center located at the SPCA facility at 199 Willow Run Road. Tickets are $8 and $5 for children under 12.
The dinner will offer attendees a chance to tour the non-profit's new regional spay and neuter clinic.
Anyone who is interested in making a donation, going to the Spay-ghetti Dinner or would like to have their pet altered, call the SPCA at 648-6863 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

While many wait until January to pop out the champagne and begin transcribing their resolutions for the new year, millions of Jews all over the world are preparing for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year 5774.
Rosh Hashanah has its religious customs and practices, but food has become closely associated with the holiday. During Rosh Hashanah, sweets are handed out and interlaced within all of the foods prepared to symbolize a happy and "sweet new year."
One of the oldest food traditions is passing out apples and honey. In the Torah, honey is often mentioned, representing wealth and goods or sweet living, and Israel typically is called the land of "milk of honey" throughout the Bible. During the first night of Rosh Hashanah, Jews dip apples and challah bread into honey and say a blessing asking God for a sweet new year.
Keeping within the sweet traditions, round loaves of challah, sometimes with or without raisins, serve as a dish both before dinner and throughout as well. Challah is a braided egg bread traditionally served on Shabbat. However, for Rosh Hashanah purposes, the challah is shaped into a spiraled circle symbolizing the continuity of creation. Depending on how sweet one's tooth is, some add cinnamon or extra sugar.
Katja Vehlow, professor of Jewish studies at the University of South Carolina, said there are several reasons for a round challah.
"A mystical interpretation suggests that, in contract to the rest of the year, when Jewish tradition emphasizes the communal character of prayer, the High Holidays emphasize that we alone are responsible for our deeds," Vehlow said. "Hence the challah was formed by one strand of dough only."
Another reason for the round shape is continuity at the beginning of the new year, she said.
"The challah is covered by a napkin or an embroidered piece of cloth, symbolizing the dew collected by the Israelites in the mornings when they were dwelling in the desert," Vehlow said.
During Rosh Hashanah dinners, fruits and spices are also served, interlaced with recipes passed down from generation to generation.
"Honey cakes or cookies or honey-glazed chicken are also staples of Rosh Hashanah tables to ensure a sweet year," Vehlow said. "For the same reason, some Jews prefer to eat round foods like matzah balls, sliced leeks or carrots. On a similar vein, many avoid bitter foods and ban chreyn (horseradish) from their dining tables."
Matzah balls are made with matzah meal, egg and oil and are round up in small balls which expand in boiling water. They are typically served with chicken soup. Tsimmes, carrots cooked with sugar and raisins can also be found on many tables, as well as a head of a fish.
While many may not serve the heads of fish on their table, the customary presentation of the head is accompanied by a blessing hoping for all to be a leader in life and be fruitful and multiply like fish. Fish also symbolize prosperity and fertility.
Still, apples still reign as the most popular food served during Rosh Hashanah.
"And why do Ashkenazim, Jews claiming northern European descent, prefer apples?" Vehlow asked. "The reason is probably simple – apples were the only fruit to be available in the fall season. Sephardim, those claiming Spanish descent, often use pomegranates to symbolize plentitude."
Although not completely popular throughout Jewish tables, pomegranates are consumed by many. A pomegranate has 613 seeds, which is the same number of mitzvoth, commandments or good deeds, in the Torah. Pomegranates are eaten to symbolize hope for the coming year, hoping all will perform mitzvoth during the next year.
No matter what some serve on their Rosh Hashanah tables, whether brisket with sweet BBQ sauce or Kugel, a sweet noodle dish, Rosh Hashanah is a time for families to come together and share hopes for the new year while chowing down on some really good food.

Tsimmes (Fruited Carrots)
1 1/2 pounds carrots, sliced
1/3 cup honey
6 ounces dried apricots
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 ounces raisins
1/4 thinly sliced lemon
1 1/2 cups apple juice
1/2 thinly sliced orange
Bring carrots, apricots and apple juice to a boil and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and store frequently, adjusting the exact amounts of honey and cinnamon for taste. Continue cooking until liquid is absorbed. Serves six to eight people.
4-5 pounds of first-cut beef brisket
Salt and ground pepper to taste
Paprika (optional)
3 to 4 large onions, sliced and separated into rings
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup (or so) dry red wine
Couple of cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Couple of packets dry onion soup mix
Can of cranberry sauce (jellied)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub both sides of the meat with salt, pepper and paprika. Spread half of the onions over the bottom of a shallow roasting pan. Place the meat fat side up and sprinkle with the garlic, dry onion soup mix, broth and red wine. Top with remaining onion rings. Liquid should about halfway cover the sides of the meat. Cover as tightly as you can with foil or tight-fitting lid. Cook for an hour. Open the foil cover and check to ensure there is still plenty of liquid, then add the can of cranberry sauce and spread it around the meat. Recover the pan. Reduce the temperature to about 300 degrees. Cook until fork tender – about three more hours. Remove from heat and let cool, then refrigerate when cooled. Sliced only when cold. Reheat and serve.
1 pounds egg noodles
2 sticks butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese
16 ounces sour cream
1 cup sugar
6 eggs, separated
Boil and cool the noodles. Combine butter, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and egg yolks. Add mixture to the noodles and stir. Whip egg whites and add mixture. Pour into 9" x 13" baking pan.
3/4 cup crushes corn flakes
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Sprinkle over kugel. Bake at 375 degrees for 60 minutes.
Round Honey Challah
2 packages active dry yeast or 2 cakes fresh compressed yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups warm water
8-9 cups flour, sifted
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder, optional
3/4 cup margarine, room temperature
3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup raisins
1 egg yolk, beaten with
1 teaspoon water
Sesame or poppy seeds, optional
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water. Cover and let stand for five to 10 minutes until it foams. Beat in four cups of flour and remaining ingredients, except raisins, until smooth – about 5 minutes. Add remaining flour 2 cups at a time, beating well after each addition. Add raisins. Knead with a dough hook or by hand for 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and turn dough to grease all over. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down.
Divide dough into three equal parts, setting a handful aside for the ladder. Roll each part into a rope about 18 inches long. Taper ends. Coil rope around itself, leaving no hole in the center and tuck ends under. Place in a round, nine inch springform pan. To make the ladder, make two pencil-thin strips, four inches long for sides and four thin strips, two inches wide for rungs. Fasten securely to top center of each challah.
Cover and place in a warm place for 50 minutes to rise again. Brush with glaze. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. When challah is done, it will have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
Bubbe's Matzah Balls
Matzah meal
3 to 5 eggs
2 soup spoons of chicken fat
1 teaspoon salt
A little salt, onion powder and pepper
Mix matzah meal with eggs and chicken fat with seasonings until mixture is soft, but not runny. Let harden in the refrigerator for two hours. Form into one inch balls and cook in boiling water with salt for about one hour and then drain. Serve with chicken soup.

Career numbers, plus the fact that he was robbed last year. Any voter who doesn't place him 1st should have their voting status revoked.
It's a lock.
On The Starters tv show, they handed out awards to who they think should get each award and none of them voted Jamal #1...start watching around 11:12
That was some garbage considering Jamal Crawford has a higher 4th quarter +/- than Taj and he is 8th in the entire league and is 3rd in the league in 4th quarter scoring on a team with the 2nd highest differential in the league.
Unless those guys are gonna vote Taj to the nba all defensive team the arguments are flawed for selecting him.
Do you think the fact that Jamal has started quite a bit this season could hurt his chances?
It shouldn't because Taj has started some games as well.
The way I see it is this the Bulls are the worst offensive 4th quarter team in the league. They win by their team defense but they are not even a top ten team overall. In the west they would be fighting for the 8th spot what jamal did he did against what perhaps is the toughest conference in history he didn't get a chance to feast upon the east so while its easy to say Taj played both ends lets not act as though Jamal was facing the Sixers and Pistons ten times either. We played the Easts #3 seed and beat the dog snot out of them twice and once it was without CP.
You have to go with whose done it bigger and longer against better competition.
Taj will win it unfortunately because jamal has fallen off the map due to injury
It's easy to do well offensively against EVERY TEAM when you're on a roster like the Clippers. Can't say that about the Bulls when they play against the West.
I would vote for Jamal, but can't really argue against people who choose Taj.
Bunch of nobodies who don't get to vote. David Aldridge has Jamal's back... and his opinion actually matters.
http://www.nba.com/2014/news/features/d ... f:nbahpt3a
Taj will win because it doesn't say CLIPPERS on his chest when he plays
J Crossover baby!
