To basically summarize what the documentation says in more human terms, is since the GIMP can take up a lot of system resources (and with scrapbooking it does), you can reallocate how you're using your memory.
Memory is how your computer temporarily stores data it's using, and there are two types of memory.... RAM and swap (sometimes called virtual memory). RAM is the dedicated memory of the computer, and swap is a special partition on your hard drive that can be used like RAM when your RAM is maxed out.
By changing the tile cache to something like 256MB, you're basically telling The GIMP that when all the changes you've made are taking up more than 256MB in the memory, please move part of this to my swap partition so I don't run out of memory.
While utilizing the swap memory does boost performance in the sense that you're not going to be running out of memory and possibly losing your layout (I've had problems with crashing personally), however.... it does make your hard drive have to work harder, so if you're going to be doing a ton of scrapping, the most optimal thing to be doing is adding more RAM to your machine.
Thanks for this explanation!! It really makes sense!!

Rumsfeld addresses critics in Yorba Linda
YORBA LINDA – Early in Donald Rumseld's talk Monday at the Nixon library, a couple of critics in the audience offered some feedback.
"The ends don't justify the means," shouted a man with a ponytail, possibly referring to the Iraq War, waterboarding or the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
Read Wisckol's interview with Rumsfeld about the world at war.
"Bush lied; people died," added a woman as the ushers quickly moved in to escort the pair outside.
Rumsfeld, defense secretary at the time of the Iraq War, jumped right in, taking the opportunity to defend George W. Bush's decision to invade.
"Bush didn't lie," he said, rebutting accusations that evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was trumped up as a pretext for launching the war.
He ticked off support from CIA chief George Tenet and the speech to the United Nations by Secretary of State Colin Powell arguing the case for such weapons' existence.
"Hillary Clinton and John Kerry voted for" the bill authorizing the war, Rumsfeld said, before making the case that it was a good decision. "We know that the butcher of Baghdad, Saddam Hussein, is gone."
Rumsfeld, 80, was in town as part of his book tour for "Rumsfeld's Rules: Leadership Lessons in Business, Politics, War, and Life." The volume contains nearly 400 aphorisms including, "Lawyers are like beavers. They get in the middle of the stream and dam it up."
He was greeted by a standing ovation and clearly enjoyed his repartee with the crowd of about 500, especially once his critics had left. He offered some brief opening comments but spent most of his hour at the lectern fielding questions by bantering with the audience, discussing issues of the day and serving up a steady diet of witticisms.
"As a man once said, I stand by what I meant to say," went one. "Washington is 60 square miles surrounded by reality," went another.
He discussed the Benghazi, Libya, controversy, the IRS and the future of China. And he bemoaned the shrinking defense budget.
"The biggest problem I worry about when I go to bed at night ... is America's weakness," he said, referring to defense cuts and Europe as a model for slimmed-down defense spending. "The signal we're sending the world is that we won't be a country that contributes to a peaceful world."
But he also expressed optimism for the United States, noting the country had survived "a lot worse than today."
"Is it possible there's a tipping point?" he said. "Have we reached it? I doubt it. The American people have a lot of fiber.
"The idea that any one citizen cannot make a difference is not true. Each individual can do a lot."

NPR listeners, your world is about to be rocked. Michele Norris, the host of NPR's "All Things Considered," is stepping down from her position, as she feels that she will not be able to remain impartial, given the fact that her husband, Broderick Johnson, has accepted a position with Barack Obama's campaign for reelection.
"Given the nature of Broderick's position with the campaign and the
impact that it will most certainly have on our family life, I will
temporarily step away from my hosting duties until after the 2012
elections," she told colleagues in an e-mail memo. "I will be wearing a different hat for a while, producing signature
segments and features and working on new reporting projects. While I
will of course recuse myself from all election coverage, there's still
an awful lot of ground that I can till in this interim role."
Norris isn't unfamiliar to this dilemma. In 2004, she took a similar leave when her husband worked with John Kerry's campaign. When he was an "unpaid advisor" in Obama's 2008 campaign, however, she did not adjust her job accordingly.

A High Court judge is next week due to analyse the finances of Coventry City after the owner of the stadium where the League One football club plays said it was owed rent.
Arena Coventry said earlier this month that it was owed more than £1.3 million and planned to ask a High Court judge to place the club into administration.
Lawyers representing Arena Coventry appeared at the High Court in London today to outline the latest state of play.
They said Arena Coventry bosses had been concerned by a statement made by the club earlier this week - and needed more time to consider their position.
A judge adjourned the hearing until Tuesday.
In the statement, a Coventry City spokesman had said that a "non-operating subsidiary" of the club had been placed into administration. He said the "football club itself" was not under threat and would continue to "trade as normal".
Eighth-placed Coventry tomorrow travel to bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth - a club placed into administration more than a year ago.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I live in Florida. My boss wants my personal phone number and I do not wish to give it out. He does have my home address in case he needs to send me anything or to get in touch with me. My immediate supervisor has my personal phone number but I do not want him to give it to the boss, and he is complying with my wishes. The boss is getting mad with both of us over this and now says that if I don't give him my number then I will not be allowed to work until I do. Can he do that? Do I HAVE to give him my personal number? I mean, what if I didn't have a phone in the first place. What are my rights in this situation?
The issue likely boils down to whether you need your job more than your company needs you.
If you are an hourly employee, there may be an issue of whether your employer must pay you when calling you outside of business hours.
How often must the company call you? If the company often calls you about business, is the company willing to provide you with a company-paid cell phone and pay you to answer the phone?
Why does the boss want your phone number? If it is to make personal calls, he likely is treading on a sexual harassment claim.
You likely are an at-will employee. This means both you and the employer may stop working with each other at any time for any reason (except for a reason specifically prohibited by law).
Having your home address likely is not enough in some situations. For example, if you are the only one who has the password to some file or application that is needed right away, having a phone number to call you would likely be useful.
Does this boss have a supervisor? Have you talked with that supervisor?

Debug and modify game server file
- Status Closed
- Budget $250 - $750 USD
- Total Bids 14
Project Description
There is a game server (Windows based), the game itself can be started with exes, they communicate with each other on inside and outside ports, so that players can connect to the game.
There is a software called Agent [url removed, login to view] in the game, which can be exploited by its vulnerability, meaning, a message can be sent to the agent server's port so that software is closed, therefore the whole game just shuts down immediately. Unfortunately, the port must be open so the players can still play.
So we want to find someone, who will find this problem in the software and modify it, therefore it won't be vulnerable to anyone and they can't influence the game in any way. Mainly debugging and modifying.Get free quotes for a project like this

The Impact of Private versus Social Health Insurance on Offered Waiting Times in German Acute Care Hospitals
This paper shows that patients with private health insurance (PHI) are being offered significantly shorter waiting times than patients with statutory health insurance (SHI) in German acute hospital care. This behavior may be driven by the higher expected profitability of PHI relative to SHI holders. Further,we find that hospitals offering private insurees shorter waiting times as compared to SHI holders have a significantly better financial performance than those abstaining from or with less discrimination.

By agreeing to use our services you agree to our standard terms and conditions.
Wireless Equipment Guarantee
– Upon activation and installation of wireless equipment, we offer up to 12 months guarantee on all equipment with the exception of any physical negligence done to the equipment.
– Following the 12 months period, the equipment, which was purchased upon installation, becomes the property of the client and therefore the responsibility of the client.
– All changes / improvements / repairs to the equipment are for the client's account unless the damage / fault is as a result of the company's negligence.
– The high site equipment is always the responsibility and property of the company and the client will never be held responsible for any changes / repairs needed on the high site.
– It is standard policy for clients to be pre-advised of any potential costs in either the form of a formal quote, when the exact fault is known, or an estimate, when an onsite evaluation is required.
Snowball Demarcation Point Guarantees
The Snowball service demarcation point is up to the last managed device of Snowball's on the customers premises. Snowball will troubleshoot up to said demarcation point if the specified bandwidth capacity is graphed up to the demarcation point the service is deemed available.
In a nutshell, any device not managed by Snowball as per the installation and pre-described requirements will not be the responsibility of Snowball to assist with unless requested, which will result in our standard callout rates being billed.
Tax Exemption
Unless otherwise noted all prices on this web site includes Value Added Taxes (VAT). Residents from outside the Republic of South Africa are exempt from South African VAT.
Customer privacy policy
Snowball shall take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information of users. For the purpose of this clause, "personal information" shall be defined as detailed in the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA).
Acceptable use policy
Snowball's hosting and Internet access services are government by our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Our AUP policy states that none of services may be utilised in any way to generate SPAM (UCE – Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail). Use of your e-mail account to send unsolicited bulk (UBE) or commercial messages (UCE) is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it. We currently do not allow P2P on our network.
Snowball's uncapped ADSL and uncapped wireless accounts will never be capped. However, our uncapped service is not designed for people using computer programs running 24/7 continuously downloading. If you intentions are to download 24/7 then these accounts are not for you. We reserve the right to shape and throttle any account whose usage are affecting other users on our network's internet experience negatively. Our main goal is to keep the majority of our clients happy so if certain individual's abusive downloading are affecting other users on our network we reserve the right to shape, throttle or cancel their service.
For more information on our Acceptable Use Policy please follow the link provided.
Fair use Policy (applicable to all Uncapped ADSL services)
The usage is monitored on a rolling 10 day period and does not reset at the beginning of each month. All service options are Unshaped. Should usage remain less than 80% of the average user for each product, the service will remain unaffected. However should individual usage exceed 80% of the average user for each product, then the first level of moderation will be implemented, moving the service to a Shaped service. Shaping or moderation is implemented via download throttling and user relative priority control will first be applied to all file sharing protocols. Should usage remain above the 80% average threshold, additional shaping will be managed via manipulation of throttling and priority control. The 4096 Lite is managed at 50% of the average and is designed for light users who still require high speed access to the internet.
Wireless Services – Speeds available
Please note that all Wireless services require a clear line of sight to our nearest tower in order to be effective. These services are provided on an "as is" and "up to" service level agreement. This means that although installations are done with high quality products and workmanship, the line speed achieved is not guaranteed. Variations may exist and if this is the case, we recommend downgrading to a slower package for stability.
Spamming Sites
Should any aspect of a client's website cause spam and disrupt the service to any of our other clients, we will immediately suspend the hosting services of the website responsible for the spamming.

This may include top up invoices, job card invoices, or invoices related to overuse for hosting services.
Debit Orders

For new client's your initial debit order amount may include
pro rate for month of joining (if your activation date falls after the 25th of the month it may not be included in the debit order batch for that particular month, we recommend paying this amount via EFT to alleviate financial pressure)

2nd month billing – pre billed as per terms of service
For example: If you join on the 29 January 2015, your first debit order batch will be as follows:
Pro rata amount R 34.90 (29/01/2015 – 31/01/2015)
1st month billing R 349.00 ( 01/02/2015 – 28/02/2015)
2nd month billing R 349.00 ( 01/03/2015 – 31/03/2015)
Debit order will be deducted from your account on 27/02/2014 for the total amount of R 732.90
Should a customer's monthly debit order return as rejected for any reason, a rejection fee of R50 will incur and this will immediately be billed as a separate invoice.
Upon signing up with Snowball Effect, the client agrees to any additional relevant charges to their products that are not included in their monthly service invoice. This includes any top up invoices generated for Internet connection, as well as traffic or disk overusage invoices that are created for hosting. As all invoices are automatically e-mailed immediately after they are generated, it is the client's responsibility to contact Snowball Effect should they have any queries relating to an invoice upon receipt thereof.
Please note that an admin fee of R 50.00 per transaction, will be charged for failed debit orders.
Credit card acquiring and security
Credit card transactions will be acquired for Snowball via PayGate (Pty) Ltd who are the approved payment gateway for Standard Bank of South Africa. PayGate uses the strictest form of encryption, namely Secure Socket Layer 3 (SSL3) and no credit card details are stored on the website. Users may go to www.paygate.co.za to view their security certificate and security policy.
Customer details separate from card details
Customer details will be stored by Snowball separately from card details which are entered by the client on PayGate's secure site. For more detail on PayGate refer to www.paygate.co.za Merchant Outlet country and transaction currency
The merchant outlet country at the time of presenting payment options to the cardholder is South Africa. Transaction Currency is South African Rand (ZAR).
Payment via Credit card
All new orders placed where the account holder is making payment via Credit card will need to be accompanied by copies of the account holder's Credit card (front and back of the card) before the order will be processed. Should a client wish to change their payment method to Credit card, or update their Credit card details, this will also be required.
Snowball takes responsibility for all aspects relating to the transaction including sale of goods and services sold on this website, customer service and support, dispute resolution and delivery of goods.
Country of domicile
This website is governed by the laws of South Africa and Snowball chooses as its domicilium citandi et executandi for all purposes under this agreement, whether in respect of court process, notice, or other documents or communication of whatsoever nature.
Snowball at its sole discretion, may choose to change the terms, conditions and operation of this website at anytime without notice. This includes the occasional adjustment of our pricing allowing for the notification of our clients within 21 days.
Non Payment on Overdue Invoices
All invoices – unless otherwise indicated are due COD, or by the first of each month as all monthly services are billed in advance for the upcoming month. Should an invoice become overdue, the necessary process is followed by our system with the details that are available on each client's profile. Should we receive no response with regard to outstanding invoices, the account will be handed over to our listing agency – Accountability. The client will receive notice from this company of the outstanding fees and have 30 days to respond and make arrangements for payment to Snowball Effect. Should payment not be received after the 30 days, the account holder will be blacklisted for non payment.
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that Snowball Effect has their updated details, and this is available for each client to view in their client area. It is also the responsiblity of the client to be in contact with Snowball Effect to arrange for payment before the account is handed over.
Late Payment for Domain Renewals
In order to avoid having your domain suspended due to late payment, please ensure you make payment prior to the due dates stated on the invoice for the renewal. Failure to do so may result in the domain becoming suspended and even being purchased by another entity while unpaid.
Our renewal notices and invoices are sent out more than 30 days in advance, so ensure that your listed email address is the correct one with which to reach you.
Transferring of domains away
If you want to transfer, move, or cancel a domain, the abbreviated procedure is as follow:
1. Client submits cancellation request
2. New domain registrar initiates transfer
3. Snowball accepts transfer
4. Domain is transferred
It is imperative that you contact your new ISP before transferring a domain away so that this entire process can facilitated. The essence of transferring a domain away is that the new ("incoming") ISP does most of the work. If the new ISP does pro-actively manage the transfer your domain might go into redemption and then get re-registered by another party.
Domain Renewals .CO.ZA
Snowball uses the official South African domain registrar to register .CO.ZA domain names. This registrar provides an option to pay them directly instead of going via the ISP. The money Snowball collects for domain registrations and renewals are used to cover our administrative, billing, tech support, and infrastructure costs. For example, for every domain name that resides on our servers, we run fully redundant servers,locally, and internationally. If a client elects to pay the domain registrar directly instead of honouring our invoices, Snowball reserves the right to not host the client's DNS.
Backups for Hosting Packages
Daily backups are made of the webfiles on our servers and they are available in the event that your site needs to restored. Please note that we do not offer any backups for mails linked to the domain hosted with us and suggest that you always ensure a local copy.
It is highly recommended that you also create a separate backup of all your DNS records, web files and mailbox content, to prevent loss of data as we do not guarantee backups. For more info on our backup services, visit our info page on Online Cloud Backup solutions.
Technical Support regarding Overuse Investigation
Our hosting and Internet access platforms already provide clients with detailed statistics of usage. Sometimes clients find it difficult to understand that they are using such a large amount of overuse. If a client is unable to resolve the issue using the tools at their disposal and they would like Snowball Effect to investigate further, our Support team will be able to assist on this matter at a charge rate of R 200 per domain / account. Charges will not be applied should there be a system fault on Snowball Effect's side. For further clarity on this please contact our help desk.
System Administration Support Fees Charged
Snowball charges for system administration of client servers. If we need to log a call with Parallels, a fee of $75.00 is charged to the client for each incident, and is payable upfront.
Transfer Requests Outside Office Hours
If a client wishes to transfer a domain out of office hours, the following policy applies:
1. The client must make sure the domain and all related services are paid up to date.
Termination of Service
The General Terms of Service of this agreement commences on the Effective Date and will continue indefinitely, subject to termination by either party on 1 (one) calendar months prior, following our online cancellation procedure.
Cancellations are accepted by completing an online cancellation request in the customer client area. Cancellations are processed as follows:
1. Should the cancellation request be received before the 16th of the current month, this will result in the package being terminated (including all relevant files, information and history) on the 1st day of the following month. (E.g. The cancellation is received on 15 June, and the product will be terminated on 1 July.)
2. Should the cancellation request be received after the 16th of the current month, this will result in the package being terminated (including all relevant files, information and history) on the 1st day of the second month. (E.g. The cancellation is received on 17 June, and the product will be terminated on 1 August.)
Please note that the cancellation period is 90 days in the case of clients who have an Internet Solutions contract service with Snowball Effect after the first year.
VoIP Cancellations
Please note that should you require your VoIP services cancelled, a 30 day notice period is applicable. As Snowball is a reseller for this product, you will need to request a separete cancellation for this service.
An email should be sent to email@example.com to request that the VoIP services be discontinued and cancelled with the supplier. Snowball will process the cancellation with the supplier on your behalf once the cancellation email has been received.

Everyone at Plastic is incredibly excited today. We're releasing Bound — a unique platformer in which you play as a contemporary dancer. The game, however, is not just about dance. It also delivers a serious story in a modern, experimental way that's only possible in games.
Everything, everywhere changes.
Change is an essential part of life. In creative development change is often the explosive spark that transforms good enough into truly memorable.
When I think about my history at Santa Monica Studio I see it as the past 15 years condensed into a cerebral photo album filled with remarkable moments.
As a young kid I was inspired by both my grandfathers and my father. They showed me the beautiful worlds of mathematics, science, physics, and technology.
Santa Monica Studio Creatives is a series focusing on four unique individuals of our family whose journey to our studio is as inspiring as their creative talents within. While their stories are candid, raw, and anything but normal, their expert crafts and collaboration within our walls hits the heart of what matters most to our studio culture — the team is everything. To learn more about this video series, please visit sms.playstation.com/creatives
We tell stories over campfires, cocktails, loudspeakers, and controllers. Storytelling is one of the truest expressions of the human experience, and serves a key role in gaming. We at PlayStation want to celebrate this artform at PlayStation Experience on December 5th.
The fourth and final episode of Conversations with Creators, hosted by Wil Wheaton, is now out. For some strange reason they asked us to be on it. This action packed verbal free-for-all includes long time Santa Monica Studio greats; Creative Director, Nate Gary, Lead Combat Designer, Jason MacDonald and Studio Head, Shannon Studstill… along with the guy who gets them coffee and asks if he can buy a plane.
This year we celebrated the 10th anniversary of God of War, and we at Sony Santa Monica are proud to bring God of War III Remastered to PS4 today. For many God of War fans God of War III was one of the most epic titles on PS3, and the game is still one of our studio's proudest accomplishments.
Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation.Blog?

lbalexander Review
Happy with this purchase
Very beautiful. People can't believe I got this sink for under $100. I am almost 100% happy with it... there's just a few little scratches on the outside of the sink... but I was able to turn it and hide them.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Color is perfect. Very true to picture online.
- How is the quality of the product? High quality, a few nicks on the outside of the bowl.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes.
Was This Review Helpful?

Meringue Shells
|Egg whites
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Cream of tartar
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
In small bowl of electric mixer beat egg whites at highest speed until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar, then sugar gradually, beating continuously until thick and glossy, 8 to 10 minutes in all. Line cookie sheet with brown paper or foil. For individual shells, divide meringue mixture evenly into piles, set well apart. With the back of a spoon, form a shell from each pile of meringue, smoothing the center and piling up the sides. For a large pie, shape all meringue into one shell or pile into buttered pie pan. Place in preheated oven. Immediately turn off heat. Leave shells in oven over night, or until they completely dry out (3 hours or more). Remove shells from oven and lift them carefully from the paper. Cool. Fill as desired with fresh fruit, ice cream, French Chocolate Creme, etc. Note: Meringues may also be baked in an oven set at 275 degrees F. for one hour, or until completely dry. If served immediately, shells are crisp. They become soft when filled and refrigerated.

Have a look: In my first go-around with Win 7 touch, I didn't feel so much ooh-aah as I felt relief, relief that Microsoft had actually baked intelligent touch controls directly into the new operating system. Once again, my touch experience is with the optically driven HP TouchSmart PC, this time running Windows 7 Release Candidate build 7100. Nothing you see is third-party, except for the beta TouchSmart multitouch drivers by NextWindows. Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 is a roundup of six demo apps directly from the Surface team that make it clear that the days of the big-ass table are numbered. Surface will finally go anywhere there's a multitouch PC running Windows 7. Here's me, showing off the Surface Lagoon, Surface Collage and Surface Globe apps:In certain cases, as you can see in the video, "multitouch" just means two simultaneous inputs. This is a programming decision, not a fault of the screen. However, the TouchSmart's optical screen isn't the sort of thing you'd want to use to play a lot of games on. The other three apps in the Pack are games: Blackboard, Garden Pond and Rebound, shown in gallery below. I am not going to say that they were totally lame, they would just benefit from a capacitive touchscreen like those found in some high-end laptops and in top-tier smartphones. Advertisement Microsoft says: "The Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 will be available to PC makers who will have the option to pre-install some, none, or all of the applications available in the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7 on PCs designed for Windows Touch (PCs that meet the logo requirements for Windows Touch)." In other words, buy a touch-enabled Windows 7 machine and you might see this stuff pre-loaded.HP loaned me the TouchSmart knowing full well that it wasn't originally developed to run Windows 7 touch apps, and as such, it can't be judged for its gameplay or minor hiccups. In the main Surface apps, it does a great job, and as for the OS, it runs Windows 7 smoothly with a spring in its step. But am I waiting eagerly to see Windows 7 running on a touchscreen with more dexterity? You bet your ass. Meantime, this beats a clunky $20,000 Surface table any day of the week. Keep the Surface apps coming, Microsoft—the age of touch is upon us. [Windows Team Blog][Back to our Complete Guide to Windows 7] Reply65 repliesLeave a reply

Self-stabilization is an elegant way of realizing non-masking fault-tolerant systems. Sustained research over last decades has produced multiple self-stabilizing algorithms for many problems in distributed computing. In this paper, we present a framework to evaluate multiple self-stabilizing solutions under a fault model that allows intermittent transient faults. To that end, metrics to quantify the dependability of self-stabilizing systems are defined. It is also shown how to derive models that are suitable for probabilistic model checking in order to determine those dependability metrics. A heuristics-based method is presented to analyze counterexamples returned by a probabilistic model checker in case the system under investigation does not exhibit the desired degree of dependability. Based on the analysis, the self-stabilizing algorithm is subsequently refined.

text: Hello everyone, About 6 months ago I joined the saltwater fishkeeping community with a 10g fish-only setup (I've had a freshwater setup for more than 12 years). The setup consists of 2 damsels and a watchman goby, a chunk of live rock, live sand, and two decorations. Water quality is right where it should be (I test monthly) and I perform water changes twice monthly. Over the last month or so I noticed that a large number of small, pale, squigly, thread-like objects ranging from 1/4"-1/2" long have appeared on the decorations (a plastic castle and a hard-rubber coral) and a few on the tank walls. At first I thought they were small worms, but I could not rub them off -- they are hard like barnacles. I don't recall seeing anything like these in other setups I've seen. Unfortunately I cannot get a good photo of them, but can anyone hazard a guess as to what they could be? Thanks!

"How quickly people forget that I was considered the steal of free agency last year. A talented team, and injuries, got in the way this year."
Kyle Lowry plays through injury in All-Star game, out for Raptors now
Kyle Lowry participated in the 3-point contest. He played nearly 18 minutes in the All-Star game.
But when the Raptors played the Celtics in their first game after the break, Lowry never saw the court.
He was sidelined with a right wrist injury suffered in Toronto's final game before the break.
He can't pinpoint exactly when it happened and didn't even feel it during the game, but when Lowry woke up the next morning he knew something was up.
"Honestly, I thought I'd slept on it wrong — I thought it would go away," Lowry said. "It was a little sore, but I paid no attention to it."
Unconcerned at the time, Lowry didn't tell anyone but his wife about the wrist pain, and took off for New Orleans where he participated in both the NBA's three-point contest and all-star game this past weekend. He received some treatment in between his all-star appearances and iced his wrist on and off, but he still saw little cause for alarm.
"I thought over the break it would rest up and heal up," Lowry said. "But it constantly stayed bothering me."
"That's a blow — that's a huge blow for us," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said Friday evening after announcing the injury. "I don't know how long he's going to be out. But, no, it's not a one-day thing."
This is bad — bad for the Raptors and bad for Lowry's reputation.
Lowry might have wanted to show his toughness by not running to the doctor for every bump or bruise. But this will also raise questions about whether he prioritized the shine of All-Star Weekend over the grind of Toronto's season. Lowry is not a trained medical professional, so it's understandable he misdiagnosed his injury. But he makes his living using his body, and his employer provides trained medical professionals to handle these types of things. Lowry's bet that his wrist would heal over the break clearly backfired.
And now the Raptors pay the price. They traded for Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker to make a push, but that'll be much tougher without the the team's best player. Toronto beat Boston without Lowry, but the Raptors are still fourth in the Eastern Conference. Passing the Wizards for third is paramount to avoiding a second-round matchup with the Cavaliers and getting a clearer path back to the conference finals.
Every game matters now for Toronto, and wherever blame falls, Casey nailed the outcome: Lowry's injury is a huge blow.
Brandon Ingram posterizes Taj Gibson on alley-oop (video)
The Lakers wouldn't trade Brandon Ingram for DeMarcus Cousins, because they believe in Ingram (or because they couldn't get on the same page about a deal, but let's go with a belief in Ingram).
The Thunder traded for Taj Gibson because he provided, among other things, stellar rim protection.
One of those worked better than the other on this play.
Gordon Hayward dunks on Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thon Maker (videos)
Are we obligated to call Gordon Hayward "deceptively athletic"?
The Bucks have something special in Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they think they have something special in Thon Maker.
But Hayward jammed all over those two in the Jazz's 109-95 win last night.
First, he got Antetokounmpo:
Then, he got Maker:
Report: Lakers working toward buyout with Jose Calderon; Warriors, Rockets interested
The Lakers took on the salary of Jose Calderon this year so they could get a couple second-round picks from the Bulls (Chicago got him from New York in the Derrick Rose trade), but even with the previous regime in Los Angeles the aging point guard was never part of the future.
As was expected, the Lakers are now talking about buying out the Spanish national and letting him head to a playoff team for a stretch run, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.
Sources told ESPN that it's not yet a certainty Calderon will secure his release from the Lakers in the coming days, but the sides are indeed discussing the options as Wednesday's playoff eligibility deadline nears….
Sources say that Calderon, if he winds up hitting the open market, would instantly become a target for both the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets.
Cleveland may also have interest if their plan to land Deron Williams when he is bought out by Dallas goes awry.
Calderon, 35, was not part of the Lakers' regular rotation, playing in just 24 games. He can still knock down a shot if he has space and can set his feet, and he still has a high hoops IQ and can see the floor, but his athleticism has faded, and that can leave him exposed. Particularly on defense.
Players are being waived now so they clear in time for teams to sign them by March 1, after that said players are not eligible for playoff rosters.
There are better players to hit the waiver wire in the coming days — D-Will, Andrew Bogut, Matt Barnes — but Calderon is going to land somewhere. He'd be a solid third point guard and veteran presence for a playoff run.

iPad Training
Trip To The Paisley Muesum
At about 20 minutes to 10 we were all seated and settled on the bus. We arrived in the muesum. The lecturer was called Dave. He showed us how to use 'Morfo'.Every pair was distributed an iPad. We took a picture. We also added a face, eyes, nose and a mouth. There were many actions. You can make it dance, put make-up on and some more. We watched our Morfo results. They were amazing!! We were told to find an object and research it. After 5 minutes we began our Real Morfos. When we had finished our Morfos we viewed them on a big screen.
Our next app was called 'Tellegami'. On Tellegami you design your own character the way you want them to look. You can change the hair, eyes and other essentials. You can take a picture of anything to set as a background. Everyone loved seeing other people's fantastic films made on Tellegami. This trip was amazing!!!!

Dips causing shoulder pain
I have been getting some pain in my shoulders for a while now when ever I perfrom any dips.No other exercise cause any pain in my shoulders at all.Other guys I have spoken to at my gym and online also have this problem .
Is the cause most likely to be bad form or something more serious like a rotator cuff problem ?
Thanks for any response
Maybe your going too far down?
Dips can be pretty bad for your shoulders full stop depending on your biomechanics.
Lots of people have problems with shoulder pain when doing dips. I love dips but if it's hurting you then just do different forms of bench press and overhead press, you won't be missing much. The pain is telling you to stop.
Try not going as deep. The further back your elbows go during a press/dip, the more strain you're putting on your shoulders.
You can also use a Slingshot to help with support if you want to try and do them while recovering from the shoulder issues.
For myself, dips are a sure fire way to trigger shoulder issues. In the last few years I programmed them twice and twice I ended up having to (self)rehab my shoulder(s) for the next 4 months.
Maybe it's my form. I could be going to deep or leaning to far forward. Even if this is the case, I am not interested in experimenting with trying to fix it. The risk simply does not out weigh the reward.
IMO, there are other legit exercise options you can do that work the same muscle groups just as effectively, but with more easily mitigated and managed risks.
Just my opinion.
I find that exercises which cause injury/feel awkward are usually quite therapeutic when done with lower loads.
It's just a matter of being able to do Dips with lighter weight for a while and build up. It's a good solid compound exercise, if you can't do it then it has exposed a problem which could rear it's head further down the line.
So you could fix it or you could ignore it and hope the problem doesn't cause you issues down the line...
I find that dips aggravate per-existing conditions. ie weak rhomboids and rear delts. make sure to do plenty of pulling, retract the shoulder blades , then pull.
I absolutely love dips. There are a couple things that could be going on. Dips are hard, and the fact that they are hard can lead to form issues, the same way that trying to squat heavy or pull too much can lead to form issues if you aren't ready yet.
Here's how most people do, or atleast attenpt to do, dips;
Notice that the torso is upright and the shoulders are shrugged up to the neck. It even looks painful and is obviously not an advantagious position from which to produce maximum force.
Here's another example-
Unfortuantely, these examples are from bb.com and wikipedia, respectively. This is unfortunate because these are the resources people are using to teach themselves how to do these exercises.
Now lets see a better way-
Notice the differences. Instead of the shoulders shrugging up to the neck, the shoulders are pulled back and the chest is stuck out forward, just like a good bench press. The main difference is that the chest and head are now looking DOWN instead of forwards. In this case this happens because the chains around the neck move the center of gravity towards the head, but chains are not required to get this better form.
Here's another example-
Although this crossfitter is actually performing a muscle up, which is a pullup the goes directly into a dip, you can see that her knees are tucked up underneath her. This also shifts the center of gravity and allows you to face downwards. You can also see in the example just how low you can get with better form, which puts your shoulders in a much more natural position in the stretch portion of the movement.
This change, tucking the knees up towards the chest, also turns the dip into a chest and tricep movement, instead of just a tricep movement.
One interesting thing about bodyweight training to remember is that we can't just lower the weight. Remember when I said that doing dips can be like squats that are too heavy before you're ready? Well, you can lower the weight of the squats and work your way back up with better form, but you can't do that with bodyweight stuff. The trick is to use a good spotter, which in the case of dips or pullups means getting a spotter who does nothing at all. He should stand behind you and hold your feet and nothing more. Then it's up to YOU to determine how much help you give yourself with your legs.
Good god, the Army got something right-
Notice that the spotter isn't doing anything. It's up to the person doing the exercise to determine how much of their legs they want to use to help themself. At first reading it might seem that someone will just use their legs to cheat the whole time, but you'll be very surprised at how well this actually works.
If you've been doing dips for some time and have recently developed to bodyweight-plus workouts, including too much weight too soon makes you an candidate for shoulder impingement. Dips look simple, and some people usually just jump onto the parallel bars and start without training. If you've had a past shoulder injury, avoid dips completely. Instead, do presses and extensions to work the same muscle that dips would work.

Have you ever smiled in the mirror and wondered what if?
What if your teeth were less prominent, or just a bit more even, or maybe that missing tooth was back in place?
Below you'll find the "What's In A Smile" quiz. It helps you play "What if" and then focus on what the mirror tells you.
Cosmetic dentistry isn't "just for movie stars" or "just for women." Typically it's very conservative treatment that returns huge dividends in personal self-confidence.
Today there are new tooth restoration materials and cosmetic dental care techniques that can put a beautiful smile within everyone's reach. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as natural as the ones you were born with.
For teeth that are intact but seem to lack youthful sparkle, there are a variety of procedures that are simple, safe, and effective. You may want to inquire about teeth bleaching treatments, dental implants, or dental veneers that enhance your tooth enamel. Even a hygiene appointment can return light and color to your smile.
Many patients, whose appearance and self-esteem have been boosted enormously, have received only the simplest of cosmetic dentistry enhancements. Their only regret was that they'd waited so long to have them done.
Your cosmetic dentist will be happy to answer your questions. Please call to schedule a consultation.
Cosmetic dentistry is everywhere these days.
With new materials, especially dental "superglues," we're reshaping teeth, filling gaps between teeth, restoring broken teeth, replacing missing teeth, placing lighter braces. The technique is called dental bonding, and the aesthetic result is wonderful.
But it's not forever.
The American Dental Association puts the life of tooth bonding materials at about five years. This may be a conservative estimate, but there will come a time when a bond needs attention.
In general, if you treat a bonded tooth like your other teeth, you'll keep your dental restoration intact longer. Lax home care habits or the wrong foods can hasten wear and tear.
So go easy. If your tooth restoration is brand new, or years old and still flawless, keep smiling. With care, we've seen dental bonding last a long, long time.
Here are some reminders to help lengthen the life of your dental restoration.

Samsung Expands Sales, R&D in U.S.

(Source: dialaphone.co.uk)
The new facility will be built by downtown San Jose in California
A subsidiary of Samsung said it will expand its sales and research and development (R&D) headquarters in Silicon Valley.
Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. (SSI) is looking to build a 1.1 million square foot sales and R&D headquarters to encourage "interaction among staff, foster connections with the community and provide a space to attract employment."
The new facility will be built by downtown San Jose in California, and will be designed by architecture company NBBJ. It will be a 10-story building complete with a parking lot and amenity pavilion.
Samsung is a major mobile superpower in the U.S. It builds the hardware for Android-powered devices, which fiercely competes with Apple's iOS-powered iPhone. In fact, Samsung hopes to sell
390 million smartphones
in 2013.
Just last week, it was reported that
Samsung was looking to ban Ericsson products
in the U.S.
Samsung claimed that Ericsson stole its patents regarding telecommunications networking equipment like base stations
It seems like Samsung has learned a thing or two from its list of patent infringement lawsuits with Apple. Samsung and Apple's relationship has been tense ever since the string of patent infringement lawsuits were launched against one another. Apple flung the first suit back in April 2011, calling Samsung an iPad/iPhone copycat. From there, the two launched several patent lawsuits around the world, and even
successfully banned a few products
(i.e., the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1).
Apple had a major victory this year when
a U.S. jury decided that Samsung indeed was infringing
on Apple's mobile patents. Samsung was ordered to pay $1.05 billion in damages
