|Brad Stevens on Stephen Curry's amazing 3-point skills: 'It's why the game is great'
|02.29.16 at 7:30 pm ET
When he wasn't jumping off trampolines and dunking or rebounding shots for his 10-year-old son Brady this weekend, Brad Stevens was joining his son and his friends in watching the amazing feats of Stephen Curry Saturday night.
In a performance for the ages, the amazing shooting guard for the Golden State Warriors made 12-of-15 from 3-point range Saturday night in an overtime win at Oklahoma City. The coup de grace was Curry's pull-up 32-foot three that was the winning dagger in the 121-118 Warriors' victory.
"My son had two friends sleeping over and we were all watching the game," Stevens said. "It was great. It was great as a fan to watch and see. I've gotten a chance to grow up and see some of the greats play and see some of the greats make plays. It was fun to watch a group of 10-year-olds react to all those shots and react to all those things going in. It's why the game is great."
Stevens has always been a fan at heart of the game. When he played at Zionsville High in Indiana, he wore No. 31 in tribute of his favorite player, another 3-point wizard by the name of Reggie Miller.
Curry's game-winner Saturday reminded everyone watching that his range is literally anywhere across the timeline, something that is rare. Has Stevens ever coached against something like that?
"Twice a year, twice a year since I've been here," Stevens said of Curry, who he will see again in Oakland on April 1. "Very, very few guys. I think the amount of difficulty he hits shots with is incredible."
While Curry is by far the leading MVP candidate in the league this season, there are others that are having remarkable statistical seasons, including Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, both of whom enter Monday's action averaging double-doubles so far. Westbrook is averaging 24.4 points and 10.2 assists while Davis is at 24.1 points and 10.2 rebounds.
"It's interesting. There are a few guys, though, that are having incredible years and doing incredible things and not talked about quite as much," Stevens said. "I think the whole idea of range and extending range and widening the court for everybody else with your range, it's in vogue and he's taken it to a new level."
Brad Stevens has absolutely no hard feelings when it comes to David Lee. As a matter of fact, he's very happy that the veteran big man has landed on his feet in Dallas.
Lee, who was bought out of his final season of his contract ($15 million) the day after the trading deadline, has contributed in a big way off the Mavericks' bench almost immediately. He scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds in 22 minutes in a 128-101 win Sunday in Dallas. Two nights earlier, he had 14 points and 14 rebounds in 25 minutes in a 122-116 win over the Nuggets. Dallas is 32-28 and tied for sixth in the West.
"I just sent a text after I saw [Sunday]. I watched a little bit of the comeback against Denver," Stevens said before Monday's game against the Jazz. "It was a great game. It was a great win for them. Just saw [Sunday] night and they won looks like pretty handily. As much as you go through with everybody and guys play or don't play, whatever the case may be, you want everybody that leaves here to do well. So, we're rooting for him to do well and happy for how he's started."
Stevens still insists it was hard for him to wave goodbye to Lee, who didn't play at all in his final 18 games in Boston.
"It was really hard, and it was really hard for him, It's harder on him than anybody else," Stevens said. "But we talked about it a lot. We didn't have hardly any injuries with our bigs and we had a lot of bigs, especially at the end of games, we're going to be in relatively the same position. It put a lot of guys on the bench, and it was different guys at different times. To his credit, when we eventually settled on playing others, he handled it really well, and kudos to him. I'm happy he's doing well."
Lee told reporters over the weekend that part of the reason for his resurgence is that he's in better game shape than in Boston, where he didn't play in 21 of his last 22 games.
"I don't know if that's semantics or how he meant to say it," Stevens said. "I think the biggest thing that he was probably saying there was was that when you're not playing you have to find other ways to stay ready. Maybe I'm wrong but I think he certainly took diet. He worked out hard. He worked out hard enough that if he would've played, he would've been gassed in the games. Sometimes, you can't do that if you're going to be playing 15 minutes a night. He was going two or three times hard a day during that stretch. So no, I wasn't frustrated by it. In fact, I thought it set a pretty good example for the other guys who weren't playing."
|Brad Stevens has a lot of respect for 'great job' Erik Spoelstra has done in Miami
|02.27.16 at 3:18 pm ET
When Brad Stevens talks about Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, you can sense a great deal of respect and admiration. You can also sense that he wouldn't mind having his track record some day. When Spoelstra took over for Pat Riley in 2008, he was just 37, the same age Stevens was when he took over the Celtics in 2013.
In his eighth season in Miami, Spoelstra has been to the NBA Finals four times, winning twice with LeBron James. After going just 37-45 last season, and missing the playoffs for the first time, Spoelstra has bounced back strong this year. His team is 32-25 and what's more impressive is that he's doing it short-handed.
"I don't know him all that well," Stevens said. "I've obviously met him in a couple of the coaches' meetings and seen him at the summer leagues and those types of things real briefly but I haven't spent a lot of time with him. I'm really impressed by him and have been since I got a chance to first watch his teams play. I didn't know him when he was a video guy or an assistant in his earlier years either."
While both were wunderkinds when hired for their first NBA head coaching gigs, Spoelstra and Stevens are from very different backgrounds.
Spoelstra was hired by then-Heat GM Dave Wohl and personnel director Roya Vaziri in 1995 as a video coordinator at the age of 25. He worked his way up, eventually impressing Riley with his work ethic as a video coordinator and eventually a scouting director in 2001. He's been a Heat lifer. As for Stevens, everyone knows the story how he wowed the basketball world by taking Butler to the NCAA finals in 2010 and '11, in the process becoming the youngest coach ever (34 years old) to reach the Final Four twice. Stevens didn't shoot out of the gate and make the playoffs in his first season like Spoelstra but he is commanding the respect of stars young and old around the league. Even Rajon Rondo was impressed with Stevens the first time they met.
But what impresses someone like Stevens is how even-tempered someone like Spoelstra can be, even when things seem to be falling apart around him.
Last week, the Heat's leading scorer, Chris Bosh, was sidelined with a blood clot in his calf. That was just the latest in a long line of injuries to significant players. Beno Udrih had surgery Friday on his foot and is out three months. Tyler Johnson is out with a shoulder injury. Udonis Haslem had an allergic reaction this week but made the trip to Boston for his short-handed teammates.
|Isaiah Thomas relishes in Suns GM Ryan McDonough admitting mistake: 'I'm starting to get more and more respect'
|02.25.16 at 11:39 pm ET
Isaiah Thomas cracked a smile from ear to ear when he was asked about Suns general manager Ryan McDonough admitting Thursday morning on a Phoenix radio station that it was "a mistake" to trade Thomas to the Celtics at the 2015 NBA trade deadline.
Thursday night, after scoring a game-high 27 points and dishing out seven assists in a 112-107 Celtics win over the Bucks, Thomas took a little time to savor the recognition of his former employer.
After making a couple of stunning passes to find open teammates, including one over three Bucks to Jae Crowder for a game-clinching three, Thomas was asked if he heard McDonough's admission.
"Yeah, did," Thomas said. "I mean it's cool. I'm starting to get more and more respect, I guess. It feels good to hear him finally say that. But like I always say, I'm focused here on the Celtics. I'm not focused on what happened in the past. When I saw that this morning, it was nice to see somebody say something like that."
Thomas might have felt snubbed by the Suns when he was traded but he's turned himself into an All-Star scoring point guard for the third-best team in the Eastern Conference, so there is satisfaction in that.
"I've always felt overlooked," Thomas said. "Ever since All-Star selection, guys are kind of liking what I do, I guess."
Thomas admitted that he's a much different player than the one that played in Phoenix even two years ago.
"The game's slowing down for me," Thomas said. "For the most part, I'm a better decision-maker. I'm not just trying to score every time. That's something I've done my whole life where scoring has been easy for me but now, it's just trying to pick and choose my spots, knowing when to be aggressive for myself and knowing when to get other guys going. I think that's my next step, just becoming a more complete basketball player, just being unpredictable and going out there and trying to make the right play, each and every time.
"I think just because I'm labeled as a scorer. If you score too much, guys say you don't pass. If you pass too much, like [Rajon] Rondo, they say you can't score. They're always going to say something so you've just got to take what the defense gives you."
Speaking of Rondo, does Thomas think Rondo could've pulled off that behind-the-head, no-look pass with 50.6 seconds left Thursday night?
"No doubt. You all probably seen that before. He probably did something even crazier than that."
|Brad Stevens working to keep young guns in the mix
|at 9:16 pm ET
While there was some discussion pre-game Thursday of how a veteran like Joe Johnson might add valuable versatility, there was also acknowledgment of the potential of the youth that remains on the roster.
With an average age of 24.4, the Celtics are tied with the Jazz for the youngest roster in the league this season.
The team they played Thursday, the Bucks are next at 24.5 and the Sixers come in at 24.7. The Celtics are by far and away the most successful in that foursome of youth.
The Celtics have three rookies on their roster in Terry Rozier, Jordan Mickey and R.J. Hunter. Marcus Smart and James Young hail from the 2014 draft and Kelly Olynyk represents the Class of 2013 and Jared Sullinger was drafted in 2012.
Of the last two drafts, only Smart is seeing significant minutes and Young's yo-yo between Boston and Maine is well documented.
How are the young guns handling not playing?
"I think it's hard. They've played their whole lives," Stevens said before Thursday's game. "They've never had a year where they've sat. But it's probably not all that unanticipated. It's part of life as a young player, especially on a team that's like ours. We've talked about that there's not a ton of separation up and down the roster but there is a lot of depth."
With David Lee gone to Dallas, the Jonas Jerebko and Amir Johnson are the oldest at 28 years. Only five of the 14 players on the active roster are over 25.
"All of our older players, and I say older kind of tongue-in-cheek, but they all are productive NBA players and have a real niche and role," Stevens added.
R.J. Hunter has had the biggest impact of the 2015 class, averaging nearly 10 minutes a game in the 26 games he's played. Rozier has played in 20 games and Mickey has seen action in just six games but does have three blocks.
|Avery Bradley: 'We didn't play hard enough, consistently'
|02.23.16 at 12:20 am ET
The Celtics nearly pulled off a miracle Monday night in Minneapolis.
But when Marcus Smart's potential game-winning three fell short at the final buzzer, the Celtics were left to wonder why they couldn't beat a Timberwolves team that came in with a 17-39 record.
"I feel like we can learn a lot from this game. We didn't play hard enough, consistently, throughout the whole game," said Avery Bradley, who scored 22 points in the 124-122 loss. "That's the real reason we lost. We gave ourselves a chance."
Bradley gave the Celtics a real shot when his three with 6.2 seconds left drew the Celtics to within one, 123-122. But after a Zach LaVine free throw, Smart dribbled up the right side and instead of dishing to a wide open Isaiah Thomas, he decided to pull up for a three of his own that fell short off the front iron.
"The last play, or anything like that, that wasn't the reason we lost the game," Bradley told reporters afterward. "We just weren't playing hard enough on a consistent basis."
The Celtics went small late in an effort to spread the court and space out the Minnesota bigs, who the Celtics couldn't handle all night. Rookie Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 28 points and 13 rebounds while Gorgui Dieng added 17 points and 12 boards.
"They're a young, athletic team as well. We let their young guys get going early, and it was hard to slow them down, to be honest," Bradley said.
Towns served notice early that he was going to be a force, scoring 15 points and grabbing seven rebounds in the opening quarter.
"Yeah, we had no answer for him. We had no answer for him in any type of isolation I thought," Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters. "That's why we went zone for a couple of possessions, and actually played it pretty well. And then we just trapped everything late and played five guards and just tried to fly around. The problem with that was obviously rebounding.
"Towns had his way with us the whole night and obviously, their other guys did, too. Certainly, he stood out."
|Studs and Duds: Evan Turner, Celtics strike gold in Denver
|02.21.16 at 7:28 pm ET
There were rocky moments in the Mile High city but, in the end, the Celtics got the win they desperately needed out West.
Facing a young and rebuilding Nuggets team, Isaiah Thomas (22 points, 12 assists) and Jared Sullinger (16 points, 11 rebounds) each posted double-doubles leading the Celtics to a 121-101 win at Pepsi Arena in Denver. Avery Bradley added 20 points for the Celtics, who finish up their three-game Western road swing with a game Monday night in Minneapolis against the Timberwolves.
The Celtics (33-24) took complete command of the game with a 26-5 spurt in the first quarter, as all seven starters scored. The Celtics' bench, which scored just 28 points Friday night in the loss in Utah, matched that total in the first half, led by Evan Turner's 13. Turner nearly finished with a double-double, scoring 17 points and grabbing nine rebounds.
With the Celtics' lead up to a game-high 26, 51-25, Denver went on a 10-0 run. That was the beginning of Denver's deliberate crawl back into the game. Twice the Celtics answered runs with key 3-pointers, once by Turner and another by Marcus Smart.
The Nuggets (22-34) got the lead down to five, 67-62, and had a chance to trim it even more but Isaiah Thomas blocked a shot and then two possessions later converted a three-point play to build the lead up 10, 72-62. Thomas again took over with four minutes left in the third. He hit a reverse lay up and then converted a pull-up runner with 3:31, putting the Celtics up, 83-69.
The Nuggets appeared ready to make another run late in the third. But two missed threes were followed up by a Jae Crowder three-point play to make it 91-75. Will "The Thrill" Barton nailed a three with 0.4 seconds left to make it 91-78 Boston heading into the fourth.
The hustle was there all night for the Celtics, embodied by the trio of Marcus Smart, Evan Turner and Avery Bradley. Smart dove for a loose ball in the Denver offensive end. He tipped it ahead to Turner. Turner raced it down from half-court, saving the ball from rolling out of bounds. He flipped ball back with his right hand to a waiting Avery Bradley and he went running 10 rows deep into the stands. Bradley's uncontested basket with 10 minutes left put the Celtics up, 97-82.
The Nuggets never got closer than 10 in the final seven minutes. The Celtics used a 16-6 run to build the lead back to 20, 117-97, before emptying the bench.
For a complete box score, click here. To go beyond the box, read on.
STUD OF THE NIGHT: Evan Turner. He single-handedly energized the bench and the team, as indicated above. He finished with 17 points and five assists, featuring a brilliant individual play around Nikola Jokic in the second quarter. Runner-up: Isaiah Thomas. It's getting repetitive but the lefty scoring guard is carrying the Celtics right now. And he was the answer in big moments when the Celtics seemed in danger of blowing a 26-point first half lead.
DUD OF THE NIGHT: Kenneth Faried. Zero points in 13 minutes for the Nuggets starting power forward.

Audits are formal evaluations of various processes in an organization following a set standard. Sales audits seek to assess the success of a company's sales efforts through objective standards. Ideally, successful sales efforts should be compared against unsuccessful sales efforts of the past. Sales audits are also useful for determining whether money is being lost through unnecessary expenses.
Cost Cutting
Sales efforts should use the cheapest possible method for forecasting. Experts used for whatever reason such as a testimonial or for a forecast should be acquired for the lowest price possible, according to the University of Tennessee. Sales forecasting software should be purchased from an affordable vendor, as long as the software will still fit the company's needs.
Multiple Sources
Sales forecasting data should be collected from more than one source, according to the University of Tennessee. For instance, market survey researchers should collect data from customer surveys, product sales numbers and an estimation of the number of customers that might need goods or services.
Workers conducting market research should be as unbiased as possible, according to the University of Tennessee. If necessary, experts from an independent agency might need to be brought in. Otherwise, researchers should be told that results must be as accurate as possible and no later revisions to the data can be allowed.
Multiple sales forecasts should be presented. Sales forecasts should be provided for different approaches that the business might take. Reasons for and against each sales approach should be pointed out when sales information is presented.
Quantity and Quality
Sales audits should assess both quantity and quality. For example, a sales representative should not only be assessed for the number of units of product that he sells—which is a quantitative measurement—but should also be assessed for the quality of his interactions with customers. The actions of representatives can be compared side-by-side with the policies and procedures of the company.
The level of employee cross-training should be assessed. Employees should be able to fulfill various functions in the event that one employee is not able to carry out functions, according to the University of Texas.
The turnover of sales representatives should be assessed to determine if better incentives need to be offered to employees to retain them.
Conflict of Interest
Individuals who should be reporting sales and expenses should be checked on periodically to ensure they are fulfilling their duties. Employees who work for another firm outside of the company in question should be assessed to determine whether they might have a conflict of interest, according to the University of Texas. For example, an employee might recommend a particular vendor not because the vendor provides the best products for the lowest price, but because the employee has a special relationship with the vendor.
The counting of cash in cash registers should be assessed to ensure that the cash is not being improperly counted and that there is no money disappearing.

06-30-2012 #2

06-30-2012 #3
I have seen one ps3 of that model where the ps3 had to have the rsx chip reheat or reballed. And I did the reball on it and it worked great. Did you try to hook something the other cables to it not hdmi. Sometimes the hdmi ports go bad also. Thanks and let me know.
06-30-2012 #4

06-30-2012 #6
The Black Screen happened to my PS3 slim also, when I checked it, I found out that the HDMI port on my LCD has ants inside, i cleaned it and transfered to another HMDI port. and it worked !
Did you tried to use it on another monitor?
06-30-2012 #7
When I work on all the ps3s that I do, I have found that some of them will not auto detect the hdmi port and I will use to use the cables the ps3 came with. Did you try these?
07-01-2012 #8
i try, multi out for video and audio i have led tv and try also on another tv no sound no picture ... all cables work for sure i try on my friends ps3 but mine not !
I will use to use the cables the ps3 came with. Did you try these? Yes i did that i post it that i try both outs no sound no picture
07-01-2012 #9
Use the AV cables and try entering recovery mode.
07-01-2012 #10

All what i can do is to turn tham on and off also to try trick first time 1 beep and than shutdown and second time 2 beeps and graphics doesn't reset and i doesn't have anything on screen !

Brugge.. Worth the wait
... driver) was very informative, and would make typical "Dad" jokes and then laugh at them, but a very subdued laugh, it was very funny :) I took lots of photos, but unfortunately in most of them the main feature seems to be the man who was sitting opposite me in the boat. So I will spare you :) So all in all we had a lovely day in Brugge, it was definitely up there with my favourite day so far ...
Happy Belgium Day!
... world instruments, and western instruments— was excellent. My music major side greatly enjoyed all of the floors, and J and I were both glad that we stopped in. We left our backpacks with the bag check in the museum before going off to the streets again. I expected there to be more cultural events in the main square, but it was still mostly tourists, so J and I decided to grab lunch and another waffle to share before retrieving our bags from the music ...
Dad got a Brazilian
... you can eat' we squeezed in a little extra! They'll be getting a good write up on trip advisor! So after a few beers, we went back to the b&b since we have an early morning tomorrow as we head to Flanders. Our overall impression of Bruges is that it's a lovely town and we'd definitely come back. I even imagined myself living here with my own little bike.. But I'd probably end up with legs like Chris Hoy if I did that, so maybe it's not the best ...
Day 8 - Brugge - Cute city of canals & chocolates
... for the later part of the evening. 5pm is the cut off time to purchase their tickets.
Once I returned back from Brugge, I decided to go to this other city called Ghent that night as I had planned to go Kayaking early next morning with my friend. Joachim was extremely helpful and prepared awesome dinner and also made sure that I boarded my train safe :-) Thanks for everything :-)
Do stay tuned to know if I made it to Kayaking or some other life experiences.
A busy day in Brugge
... canal cruise for 30 minutes to see the city and its beauty from the water. There aren't that many canals here but everything worth seeing is built close by. Great photo opportunity. I clicked off over 100 snaps in 30 mins. Time for lunch and we bought from the vans at the front of the Belfry - bratwurst and frites with Flemish stew sauce. Yum! Paul cycled back to change the car parking voucher ( we can park for free outside our accommodation so long as we change ...

Women who were overweight as girls but not as adults had no higher risk of diabetes than peers who were a normal weight as children, researchers said. The study found that women who reported being overweight as children and young adults and did not lose weight were 15 times more likely to develop diabetes than those of normal weight.

is it right for me to call you, diabollica?

so she can free herself from thoe
evil eyes, says Padre
Monika, poor Monika
are you mean and clean like a baby?
nobody's kid, they say, she's no girl
no woman, but witch-lady, instead

Making Sound Investments In Vietnam
Liquidity analysis has in most of the cases been my main tool for determining where smart money and dumb money are located in the stock market, and whether they are net seller or net buyer at any given point. My point here is closely watching institutional and "insider" activities, i.e. board members and managers who run the companies, could provide traders with a substantial advantage.
An instance to highlight the above theme is CX Technology (TAIEX: 2415), which manufactures magnetic induction speak parts for world-renowned companies, such as BOSE, Harman Kardon and JBL. CX's chairman and his brother are said to have made "sound" investments into Vietnam's technology, real estate and stock market sectors; examples of which include Phu My New City Center and Phu My Bridge, both in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.
Another less well-known investment of CX Technology in Vietnam is Fortune Securities Corporation (HNX: PHS), which currently accounts for 1.68% market share of total volume on the HOSE. My gut feelings are that investors should keep an eye on this small cap, as PHS is implementing radical business model revision in an attempt to prepare itself to capture additional market share with a focus on retail.

Hi ,
i am using exp video board wich consists of DVI output and DVI input. in my design i am using DVI output. TFP410 transmitter is used for DVI output.before sending the Pixel data, we need to configure the rigisters of TFP410 using I2C. As i am using EXP VIDEO MODULE the TFP410 is mounted on the board with required hardware settings. my problem is i could not read or write the registers. in I2C write cycle i am recieving acknowledgements for slave address, sub-address and data. but when i read back the same registers i am recieaving the value "00". even if i read the read only registers i could recieve only "00". my query is that why i am recieving the value as "00" even when i recieve acknowledgement for slave address and sub-address.
here the problem is that until and unless the TFP410 is configured,i cannot send the pixel data. kindly provide me solution for this.
If you go to the Avnet Video Kit page (http://www.em.avnet.com/spartan3adsp-video) you'll find 2 ISE based reference design that uses a PicoBlaze processor to configure the TFP410 via I2C. You may learn something from those reference designs.
As previously mentionned, the Avnet Video Kit (http://www.em.avnet.com/spartan3adsp-video) provides reference designs for the EXP Video Module.
The "ISE Demos for the Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP 1800A Video Kit" provides a reference design which uses a PicoBlaze processor (in the FPGA logic) to configure the TFP410.
The "EDK Demos for the Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP 1800A Video Kit" provides a reference design which uses a MicroBlaze processor (in the FPGA logic) to configure the TFP410.
Today I faced the same I2C read problem...
Did you find a solution to cover this item meanwhile?
May I kindly ask you to provide the related data?
Many thanky in advance!
How are you reading the values ?
- using a Microblaze-based design ?
- using a Picoblaze-based design ?
If you use the Microblaze-based design mentionned above, you will be able to perform the following I2C transactions via the serial port:
- 's' => scan for I2C devices
- 'i' => I2C diagnostics menu : read and write any register from any of the I2C devices
- 'e' => read DVI monitor's eeprom via I2C
Please read the reference design documentation for more information.

Looks like my family and I will be heading to Florida in late July/early
August for a couple of weeks. I have a brother who lives near Orlando
with his familly and I haven't seen him since my dad died. Free lodging
at his place, so it'll be a good trip. So, what botanical places must we
not miss? I'm so fortunate that my husband and kids love this stuff as
much as I do and will have no problem dragging around to places. Jim:
we're specifically planning on a trip down to Sanibel/Captiva Islands,
so was wondering if we could pop in for a visit on our way back if
you're going to be home?

text: Home > Columnists 16 November 2012 The farming wars Violence has erupted in the wage battle between farm labourers and farmers. This is our real frontline in SA. Who is to blame for this war, asks Susan Erasmus. 7 Start A Health24 blog » Try Our quizzes and tools » Follow Health24 on Twitter » Ask CyberShrink » 10 yucky hygiene facts 'Cancer is your fault' Violence has erupted in the wage battle between farm labourers and farmers. This is our real frontline in SA. Who is to blame for this war, asks Susan Erasmus. This battle is not about race, about local politics, or even particularly South African: it is about a painful transition from a patriarchal, almost mediaeval serfdom to a modern, more open labour market, in which historical loyalties and responsibilities fly out the window (for better or for worse), and supply and demand become the determining factor in wage negotiations. That is, if this battle is really about wages, and the workers are not just being used as political pawns by other forces to create pre-election jitters. The ANC has essentially been caught with its pants down – the farmers in the affected areas do pay the minimum wage. Now the ANC is saying it should be increased unilaterally. If the minimum wage is deemed not to be a living wage by workers, something is very wrong somewhere. Increasing this amount willy-nilly is tantamount to sticking a plaster over a cancerous skin growth and assuming the problem has been dealt with. But what if farmers, like many of the mines, simply cannot afford to do this? It boils down to having to choose between paying better wages and closing down the whole operation. Or going for large-scale mechanisation, putting thousands of people out of jobs. Labour in the modern world In the modern working world, people compete with one another for jobs. The salaries they earn depend on their skills level, their experience, their education, their chosen profession, the scarcity of what they have to offer and the location in which they are prepared to work. If workers can easily be replaced, it reduces their bargaining power. Few modern businesses provide housing, food, transport, which many farmers still do. In fact, an applicant's personal situation is usually not even considered when a salary scale is determined. This is greatly decided by market forces. Harsh, but true. This does not mean that all companies (or farmers) pay a fair wage – they are businesses, and have shareholders breathing down their necks. They pay what they can get away with. If their salaries are too high, the bottom line suffers. If they are too low, they lose all their good workers and get left with the dead wood. It's a thin line on which to walk. But back to the farms, which like any other business, are a microcosm of the society within which they function. And in our society the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is massive. Nowhere is it more apparent than on farms. Maybe both farmers and farm labourers are in some way victims of a vicious past and are now being vilified as slave owners on the one hand, and ungrateful thugs on the other hand. Scapegoats are such handy things: we apportion blame and walk away from the issue without ever taking a closer look at possible solutions. There are always two sides to every story – and nowhere is this more true than when looking at the current farm labourers' wage dispute and protests. The labourer No one can dispute that R69 per day is not a living wage. That comes to R345 per week and less than R1600 per month. You couldn't live on that. You can't feed a family on that. Living conditions are often poor, and life on isolated (and sometimes not such isolated) farms can be hard. Labourers' cottages often lack basic commodities such as water and electricity. There are few opportunities for advancement (for children and adults), often alcohol abuse is rife in the communities, and physical abuse of labourers does happen. Socio-economic woes abound, especially in areas where the (now illegal) dop system is still practised. The labourer expects a certain loyalty from the farmer, especially if their history goes back generations. There is a massive difference between the lifestyle of the farmer and the labourer. The labourer also often has no claim on the land, even if his family has lived there for generations. He can be evicted. Once you're stuck in this cycle, there doesn't seem to be a way out: where do you go? The farmer This person is ultimately responsible for making and keeping this business viable. This is extremely stressful, as market fluctuations (and the high cost of machinery/farming equipment) can easily turn a farming venture into a losing concern, in which case everyone loses their jobs, farmer included. A huge amount of money has to be spent on security measures to prevent farm attacks. Being on the alert constantly is also very stressful. He (or she) provides staff housing, food, transport into town, some medical services and first aid, arbitration in disputes – a far greater level of social responsibility is often assumed than in other working situations. Cash in the pocket is low for the labourers– but that is market-related as skills and educational levels are often low, many family members (who do not work on the farm) are accommodated on the farm, and the workers could be replaced relatively easily in our poor economy. Socio-economic ills, such as alcohol abuse also affect productivity levels. South African farming is labour-intensive, and labour costs are high, even if individual salaries are low. On a personal note: a few years ago, while visiting a relative, I took a wrong turn outside the town of Moorreesburg, which is only 100km from Cape Town. I came across a settlement of farm labourers, who lived in the most unbelievable squalor. Filth everywhere, swarms of snotty kids, a couple of people passed out, dogs and farm animals snuffling through the garbage. I was shocked, and I am no stranger to squalor. The other side of a story from the same region. Friends of mine farm 30 km away in Malmesbury. They have endless problems with stock thefts, security issues, labour problems, and two weeks ago a neighbor up the road was murdered. My point? It is easy to simplify this very real rural battle: farmers can be portrayed as greedy and heartless, labourers as the victims of a system akin to serfdom. Or farmers can be portrayed as the country's food producers, who are under fire, because of race issues. Or labourers as uneducated, unreliable, good-for-nothing parasites. As with all things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. You find both good and bad farmers and labourers. At the heart of all this lie the central issues of viable business principles, a living wage, a ghastly political history and an uncertain future under a government whose understanding of farming, and the role it plays in food production and the economy seems at best limited. SA's farms are its Achilles heel, possibly its Armageddon. A solution has to be found, if we are to know where our next meal is coming from.

Radio Transmission Towers Atop Mt. Wilson
I went up to Mt. Wilson with my girlfriend, where I snapped this photo of just some of the massive collection of radio transmission towers atop the mountain. Of course, I mean "radio" in that they transmit radio waves. Some of these antennas broadcast radio stations, others broadcast the local television stations. One of these towers used to carry the local NOAA Weather Radio station on channel 'G' (162.550 MHz) - KWO37.
I have more pictures from my Mt. Wilson trip, but they were all shot with the intention that they would eventually be merged to HDR images, and I haven't yet had the time to perform HDR processing on them.
Unfortunately, I didn't think to also snap a picture of one of the many fun signs around the perimeter of the radio transmission towers, which read something along the lines of: "DANGER: HIGH POWER RF RADIATION - Keep back unless you want your brain fried!".
Here's a picture I found on the Wikimedia Commons of these same radio towers, except the picture was taken from a different perspective (to the left and below my photo) and in winter.

I disagree with this comment - on the contrary, I think Microsoft has done quite a bit of outreach and provided lots of samples, tutorial content, and video introductions via the BUILD talks. If you take a short look around the MSDN site, there is lots and lots of sample code to get you started. Once your feet are wet, then you can follow up with the video talks and get more in depth knowledge about what is going on...
Microsoft is falling out of grace consumer-wise and developer-wise. All they do is pump out a bunch of sample projects and expect people that want to learn how to do whatever in the first place to figure it out from there. Thats like a giving a pilot who only flew bi-planes a space shuttle and expecting him to figure out how to fly it. Some real tutorials would be nice. Not vague descriptions and samples.

Oh tequila. Sometimes I wish that it wasn't alcoholic so I could drink it all day. Especially since these Rosemary Ginger Margaritas are SO good!
I've had a bit of a cold the past few days and decided that it would be a good idea to make a little elixir of sorts to see if it would help. I remember my mother used to make a cough syrup with peppermint and whisky growing up and it worked like a charm so I figured I'd try my hand at it.
Alex bought me The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods for Christmas and it has become my favorite resource when we're feeling under the weather. Food truly is the best medicine. Don't get me wrong though…I completely agree that science has its place but for the common cold, stomach aches, headaches, and just everyday ailments holistic measures almost always work. If you're looking to bring a more holistic aspect to your life I definitely recommend that book and maybe The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine as well.
Tequila is known to be good for chest colds and ginger had all sorts of awesome anti-inflammatory properties due to a compound called gingerols. Gingerols inhibit the formation of inflammatory cytokines which are the chemical messengers of the immune system.
Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory properties due to rosmarinic acid. Studies have shown that it reduces inflammatory messengers such as leukotriene B4. Rosemary also contains flavonoids that stimulates the immune system, aids in digestions, and improves circulation. It also increases blood flow to the brain which can help with the common headache that accompanies colds.
Not bad huh? All of these things make this cocktail a great excuse for a lovely margarita if you're feeling a little under the weather. Don't worry though, if you're feeling just dandy you'll still want one of these in your hand soon. They're a bit spicy from the ginger and the Rosemary gives everything a nice earthy flavor. Add in a little sweetness from the coconut sugar simple syrup and you've got one killer of a cocktail.
I'm thinking of starting a margarita series on the blog! What do you think? I've got an ever-growing list of fabulous concoctions that I'm just itching to share.
- 3 ounces 100% agave tequila (I use Altos)
- Juice of 3 limes
- 3 tablespoons rosemary ginger simple syrup
- Ice
- Splash of San Pellegrino or other carbonated water
- Salt for rimming
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 ounce ginger, chopped
- 1 large sprig of fresh rosemary
- For the simple syrup simply combine ingredients in a small sauce pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling turn the heat off and let sit for 30 minutes for the flavors to infuse. Strain into a jar and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Rim 2 glasses in salt by using the lime to moisten the rim and then dip into the salt.
- To make the margarita combine 3 ounces tequila, juice of 3 limes, and 3 tablespoons simple syrup in a cocktail shaker or jar. Shake and strain into ice filled glasses. Top with a splash of San Pellegrino.

Each time I feel a twinge of exasperation at British Airways, I try to suppress it. Our national carrier deserves respect for the way it has successfully squared up to the toughest competition in Europe. Every airline has to battle fiercely with foreign rivals. But BA also has to deal with monumental challenges on its home turf. Europe's two biggest low-cost airlines, easyJet and Ryanair, have their largest operations in the UK, while Virgin Atlantic competes with BA's key business routes from Heathrow and on leisure links from Gatwick.
As a result, British passengers enjoy the best repertoire of air services and the keenest fares in the world: fortunate for us as travellers, and fabulous for UK business and tourism. One reason why London is flourishing is because, every single day, 180,000 airline seats are pointing at the capital – many more than to any other city on Earth. And a good few of them belong to BA.
Last week, when faced with a short-notice trip to Holland, I was grateful of this. I had been talking for months with the people at the Mauritshuis, the marvellous mansion at the heart of The Hague. My trip to research 48 hours in the Dutch seat of government hinged on the Girl with a Pearl Earring (pictured) – more precisely, when she would be back in her rightful place in the Mauritshuis and able to receive visitors. The building works aimed at giving Old Masters a new Golden Age meant that the museum staff could give me only two days' notice of a preview.
The Independent Travel Offers; see Vermeer's masterpiece for yourself on this escorted Dutch Masters tour
Air fares soar close to departure. From London to the nearest airports, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, quotes were over £200 return. So, I checked on Avios (formerly BA Miles). Because I always travel on the cheapest possible tickets, which attract few BA frequent-flyer points, I do not actively collect them, but a few thousand points tend to accrue now and again anyway.
I know from the electronic mailbox here that many of you are miffed with how tricky it is to spend the points on long-haul trips, or to upgrade. But for short-notice short hops, Avios can work wonders. For a London City-Amsterdam outbound and Rotterdam-Heathrow inbound, I paid £35 plus 9,000 Avios: a bargain trip to enjoy a midsummer 48 hours in The Hague, including an encounter with Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece in her ravishingly replenished surroundings.
Gate wait made us late
On the flight home from the Netherlands, I could have been faintly irritated with BA on discovering that on a hop between two great beer-producing nations, the brand offered is Singaporean. But instead I sipped the glass of Tiger and looked out of the window as the crinkled coast of Essex appeared, followed by the brown smudge of the Thames Estuary and the tidy mosaics of suburbia. Then the plane pivoted around the spire of the Shard to reveal London's great monuments and royal patches of parkland as a final grand flourish on the approach to Heathrow.
For once, the vexing and wasteful practice of "stacking" (flying around in circles over the Home Counties while waiting to land at Europe's busiest airport) was avoided. We reached the gate 15 minutes early. That quarter-hour soon melted away. The international flight parked at a domestic stand. So, to everyone's surprise, after walking through the airbridge we were sent down a set of stairs to wait for a bus. As we stood around on the apron, the only distraction was to watch the crew board a large bus and drive off. Exasperating? Not when you remember that the pilots have just flown safely and swiftly through the busiest skies on the planet, and the cabin crew have met the challenge of serving drinks and snacks to 132 passengers during a 40-minute flight – both more demanding than drinking beer and enjoying the view.
Hague lost by Eurostar
What, you may wonder, was I doing on a plane in the first place? On a 200-mile journey that has a reasonable rail alternative, flying is hardly environmentally enlightened. Eurostar runs 10 trains to Brussels each day, with easy connections. Yet while buying a flight is a matter of a few clicks and keystrokes, the railway industry makes booking a short-notice international journey extraordinarily complex and frustrating.
When you tap The Hague or the Dutch name, Den Haag, into Eurostar's website, you are told "Station doesn't exist". The cross-Channel train company recognises the existence of the Netherlands' two biggest cities, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but does not acknowledge the third, The Hague. So, I tried Voyages-SNCF, formerly known as French Railways. The website had at least heard of The Hague. But when I tried to book 48 hours ahead, it yelled back at me: "SORRY, IT'S TOO LATE TO BOOK THIS JOURNEY ONLINE." Evidently the notion of enabling passengers to travel with an electronic ticket from London to a key European city has yet to occur to the firm: "Tickets for the journey you have chosen are only available to be sent through the post. As you are travelling within 7 days we cannot guarantee you will receive them in time." It suggested "you can edit your journey" – though moving my trip back by a week while I waited for the post might have edited my career prospects.
BA and its airline rivals must daily be thankful for such ineffective terrestrial competition.Reuse content

Saving Money on Video Games
Last night after having a wonderful dinner at one of our favorite Thai restaurants, my husband and I decided to stop by Game Stop. We decided to pick up Arkham City.
How We Buy Our Video Games
We both enjoy playing video games and it was a title we were looking forward to for this year. It's a been about awhile since we grabbed a game on the opening week. It has to be a title that we're absolutely excited about.
Typically we wait until it's been out for a bit to take advantage of the lower, used game prices. We've even waited until they become Platinum hits ($15 or less).
When we were in Virginia, one of our favorite stores for picking them up from a local store called Cool Stuff. They had a wide selection of games, movies, and TV shows that we could get in great condition. As college students and then as new graduates it was a great option for us.
We also exchange games with friends and family. We have shared games we've finished and swap out with my brother in law a few times. It's a win0win – We get to play different games without going broke.
Our Collection
We've created a little collection of games for our family. We rely on friends' personal reviews to get an idea if we should check out a game or not. I tend to gravitate towards RPGs and my husband has a wider net of games he enjoys.
X Box 360
- Mass Effect
- Mass Effect 2
- BioShock
- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
