SXSW 2011 Showcase: Killers, Lasers, Papers enabled by Cisco Eos
Janelle Monae backstage and ready to go, being interviewed Killers Lasers Papers show host Gurj Bassi
The Killers Lasers Papers showcase by Atlantic Records here at SXSW 2011 featured amazing performances from the label's very deep pool of talent including rapper / singers, Donnis, B.o.B., Whiz Khalifa, and Janelle Monae. The KillersLasersPapers.com site powered by Cisco Eos is the online home for this hot concert. Even though the concert has wrapped up – there are behind the scenes photos from the show available taken by the Atlantic Records team (check out their profile page here), red carpet photos, and shots of the show. For those who were at the show, they can upload any video or photos they took during the KillersLasersPapers showcase and share them on the site by signing up.
The performances were so amazing and the show was the highlight of my lengthy SXSW experience, so it's really great to know the memories can live on at an official online site for the event. I would like to see more concerts like this have an official event page. A Facebook event page may drift off into the ether after the event is done. As a fan I would like to know I have a dedicated URL I can look up any time : for instance, KillersLasersPapers.com. I have my own profile page on KillersLasersPapers (link to my profile) and I'll be uploading some of my own videos and photos from the event over the next few days to share with fellow fans. Also, because there was a Twitter hash tag for the concert – #KillersLasersPapers – I can go back and review the conversations about the show.
The site featured a live stream of the show to fans across the globe with Gurj Bassi from MTV's Downtown Girls hosting and providing back stage interviews with the artists. Also via UStream's social stream, a real time chat on the front of the site (pictured right), kept the fan conversation about the show going. The social stream feature allowed fans to chat with each other during the show using their Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and AOL Instant Messenger accounts. Janelle Monae fans call themselves 'fandroids'. Uber 'fandroid' Lady Maestra tweeted the right answers to questions during the online scavenger hunt, winning herself the custom designed Killers Lasers Papers Flip cam (pictured).
Some show highlights – Donnis opened up the night performing his hit 'Eat You Alive'. B.o.B followed Donnis' set backed by an amazing live band. He and the band played his hits 'Nothing on You' and 'Airplanes'. The band really kicked into gear during a really triumphant performance of the heartfelt song 'Don't Let Me Fall'.
Whiz Khalifa followed, and immediately had the crowd going with his rap ode to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 'Black and Yellow'. Khalifa moved on to a new rap song from his catalog called 'The Thrill' which borrows from Empire of The Sun's 'Walking on a Dream'. He even did a tribute to rapper / singer Nate Dogg who recently passed away.
Janelle Monae's group, all dressed in super crisp black tie outfits, ran through really danceable songs like 'Wondaland' and 'Dance or Die' at the beginning of their set. She then worked up to dramatic fast moving numbers like 'Cold War' and 'Tightrope' by the end of a set that went much longer than we all expected. She pushed her performance right up to the 2 AM show close. Earlier in the evening, our marketing director Scott Brown was whisked on to the tour bus to present Miss Monae with a Flip cam. Scott remarked that Janelle is super soft spoken – likely she just saves her energy up for such epic and dramatic performances.
We will share more behind the scenes photos and videos from KillersLasersPapers on the blog when we are back from SXSW but you know the real place to stay tuned to for content from the show is KillersLasersPapers.com
Some great shots from Scott Brown follow in the slide show below.

Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS470145
This is a burner switch kit, also known as the surface element control switch repair kit, for ranges. This burner switch kit sends voltage to the surface element coil and it controls the stove top surface burner. If the following symptoms occur, installing the switch could be the solution to the problem: surface element not heating, overheating, or inconsistent heating. Usually, if the element is not defective, that is a sign there is an issue with the switch. The kit comes with several insert sizes, and includes screws as well. The tools needed for this project are a nut driver, pliers, and screwdrivers.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Tappan, Kelvinator, Gibson, Kenmore, Uni, Westinghouse.
This part works with the following products: Range, Cooktop, Wall Oven, Microwave Oven Combo.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Most of the job is simple fastener mechanics.Use a nut driver or Phillips screwdriver. Remove rear panel. Pull out control knob. If it is stuck, wrap a small rag around the back of it and pull the rag steadily.Carefully match marked terminals on the replacement switch with those on original. Switch terminals may not be in the same location. Replace wires one for one, one at a time.Carefully select the correct knob filler for the switch post. Several are supplied. Proceed with logic and measure the shaft length and the filler length and type to match.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
First of all I removed the top panel then removed the switch. I then took pictures of the switch & drew a sketch with all the info. Then I went to your web site, matched up the switch & ordered.When the switch arrived I went thru the above replacing the bad switch.
First I unplugged the stove, and removed the upper-back panel. Then I pulled off the control knob. Then I removed the two screws holding the switch to the stove. Then one-by-one I removed the wires from the old switch and connected them to the corresponding tabs on the new switch. Then, using the knob adapter supplied with the new switch, I figured out how much of the knob shaft I had to remove from the new switch to position the knob the correct distance from the face of the stove. Then I tested the switch with a voltmeter as instructed, and then I hooked up the last wire.Partselect.com is an awsome website!!! I was able to review comments form other do-it-yourselfers that had similar problems. Then I looked up the Partselect schematic drawings of my stove and was easily able to find and order the part I needed. The part arrived at my house within a couple of days and I had the stove fixed in no time.
Turn off the electricityRemove knobUnscrew old switchLift stovetop & propRemove wires from switchRemove switchPlug wires onto new switchPut new switch in placeShut stovetopScrew new switch in placeTrim knob postPut adapter on postPut knob back onTurn electricity back onCook dinner :)
Pulled out the range, unplugged it and removed the upper back panel. The switches were held in place with two screws. Removed the old switches, detached the wires and plugged them into the new switches. Mounted the new switches, replaced the back panel, plugged the range back in and pushed it back into position. Appliance repair company wanted $370. I did it in 45 min. for less than $100.
Unplug range, remove top back panel. Remove knob. Replacement part is different, but if you look closely, each metal tab has a number stamped on the plastic housing directly beneth it. Remove old switch (2 screws)and remove and replace wires one at a time. You will need to cut the "one size fits all" metal shaft that the knob attaches to. We had to remove most of it, leaving only 2 "segments". File rough edges and apply vaseline so that the plastic sleeve will slip right on. We used the shorter sleeve (only 2 that are supplied will fit the knob). Replace unit and screw in. Replace knob.
I ordered the parts, #37-0117-23-o2, The parts came in mail, The #'s didn't match up with the #'s I have, So I sent them back to the dealer in witch turn out O.K. I am real pleased with the people I talked to, They said the $$ would be put back in to my account, Very happy with that, Dave Shrode From Herbon, Il

According to the latest update from BuffaloBills.com, running backs C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson will continue to rotate after every two drives. They'll also sub out after long runs or if they're feeling gassed. This system comes from what Jackson and Spiller have decided is best for them. Spiller noted about the split, "That is something the coaching staff leaves up to me and Fred. I was able to set my pride aside and do what is best for me and him. I think it is best."
Fantasy Analysis:
This really makes no sense. Jackson is averaging a paltry 2.9 yards per carry. Spiller is averaging 7.6 ypc. While I can respect that they feel this is what's best since they made this decision themselves, it's bad football when one player is outproducing the other at such a high level. Spiller may have a bit of a hit-or-miss running style, but the Bills are at their best when he's on the field. Jackson should be regulated to fewer than 10 carries at most, especially since he's lost two fumbles on only 53 touches.

Well, they held to their 2 weeks . . . barely.
Just got the gaunt darts . . . the tool shop did a very nice job and I think you'll find them worth the wait.
Everyone's money orders but two cleared (I'll PM the two that I couldn't cash to get'er cleared up).
I'll try and get some pictures up this weekend but, I'm not going to be around much.
And since Canada Post doesn't work weekends, they probably won't get out of the city til Monday morning but . . . alas . . THEY'RE DONE!
Thanks to EVERYONE for your patience. It's much appreciated.
And, stay tuned. Hopefully something new coming from this toolshop in the near future (and this time, I promise, it won't take 4 months)
Feb 14/2003
Hi all,
Good news. The deal was signed sealed and delivered today! Finally. I'm so glad to have this monkey off my back. I can't apologize enough for it taking this long. I know some of you have waited months and, I hope this hasn't soured anything.
The deal was signed today as I said, I will be receiving them in 2 weeks, and I'll turn around and get them in the mail that very night. My cost went up, so, I'm kicking in the few extra bucks on every set - I figure it's the VERY least I can do for having this take so long.
So again, thanks for your patience. And sorry for any inconveniences or slowdowns this has caused in your costume.
I'll post a new blueprint shortly to let everyone know what they're in for!
Thanks again guys,
Jan 22/2003
Hi all,
I've been talking with a few of you, some more than others, and I have good news . . after a few setbacks, and now going back to the ORIGINAL toolshop (they're more expensive, but they won't dick me around), I've been told that we SHOULD be about a week away (I know I've said that about 4 times, so, thanks for waiting).
This extra time though has allowed a few extra changes to the darts to be made due to some research that's been done over the last few weeks. I was going to leave them as suprises, but, I feel so bad for this taking so long, that I'll spill the beans.
First off, some radius curves will be introduced on both ends where the thin bits go thicker. A subtle detail, but, definitely one that will add to the accuracy. Secondly, the grooves in the tip will be changed thanks to some research done with a few of you--big thanks to you.
So . . . I hope that you all will at least think it's worth the wait. I'm sorry it's been over a month without an update, but, I just wanted to make sure I had something to update you with that was worth while.
I'll talk with you all again in a week.
Thanks again, SOOO much, for your patience.
Dec 28/2002
Hi guys, first off, thanks for your patience with everything, it's much appreciated.
So, here's what's going on. The first guy that was going to do them for me, it looks like he's backing off, so, I'm just hammering out the details with another guy at the same toolshop. They will get done, so don't go thinking they wont! I'm hoping to have him start within the first two weeks of January.
What's going to make this good for you all though is that I'm incorporating two new features into the design that I've yet to see on any darts to make them that much more accurate. I think you'll be blown away. Of course, once I get the first one off the line, I'll have some pictures for you all!
So, again, thanks for your patience. You all will be rewarded handsomely!
Dec 16/2002 - Here's where we're at. Unfortunately, with the holidays, and my grandmother suffering a stroke (a mild one, but enough to scare the livin' begeezes out of me), I've not had that much time to invest into the project, which will now probably not get looked at again until the first week of January as everyone is obviously gearing up for holidays.
I still need the remainder of the money orders to come in for those of you who haven't paid yet.
Thanks, and I'll keep you all posted.

How are you guys heating your hot tubs? Is it a kit you buy? Or something you are making up on your own? I plan on buying a Central Boiler this summer. I had thought of doing the hot tub. But haven't seen anybody doing it.

Was going to do one of these for my home but decided to go with geothermal so I don't have to go out in bad weather to fill with wood. What do you guys do when you go away on weekends or long vacations? How do you keep a constant heat in the house?
Have a bunch of down trees here if people are interested in taking a look in the spring as well.

I've lived in my house for 4 years now. Had the burner from day 1, I've never looked at the amount of propane in my tank, and I'm going to call and have it removed this year. I'm sick of looking at it.
Ive never used my furnace, me and my uncial live a mile apart. When he goes out of town I fill his and him the same for me.

is there enough cost savings in this to justify it for a house on natural gas?
i am liking the idea of endless hot water..... and the thought of a hot tub not costing 60-80 bucks a month to run.....

I am saving $75+ per month as i stated with an indoor woodburner/stove. I am on natural gas, I don;t get long enough burn times to go furnace free over night, so it kicks on. I estimate a few extra dollars in savings if I could do so, plus a few bucks savings on the water heater.
My highest heating bill last winter was $265, compared to my typical monthly electrical bill of $35.
I figure the MAX savings per year I will attain is Oct-April $700/year.
That takes a long time to pay off, but everyone's situation is different.
If I had propane or electric heat I imagine I could save a lot more than that.

I had to buy my propane tank because I don't burn enough for the company to give me one. With that being said I burn 4x the propane in the summer than I do in the winter. The only thing I have on propane is the stove and hot water heater. So cost wise its cheaper and easier to burn propane in the summer than wood. I have 330gal tank that I fill about every two to three years.

I use the same pump that feeds the house it runs hot water/furnace/hot tub then back to stove.
I had a problem with mine the safty for the hot tub shuts off @117*. The first time I ran it the tub shutdown. The water was too hot going to the tub,ended up putting in shut offs/tee to limit the boiler water going to the exchanger.

My house is all electric. I pay around 200 give or take a mo in electric (house and shop) and that's it. No gas or propane bill. It's my way of sticking it to the gas man!

We have a Hardy that is at least 15 yrs old. Not nearly as efficient as it once was or as the new ones. We burn roughly 10 pulp cords a year heating a 1700-1800sq house.

I have 2000 sqft. of house to heat. I installed a small englander Woodstove and about 25' of the Menards Stainless wood stove pipe. I burn dead seasoned wood such as elm, ash, cherry, and a little Osage orange. I keep a stove top thermometer and burn at 500-700 deg. far. I do not have a probe in the flue so I cannot tell you what that temp would be. At the end of the season I clean the chimney and generally I do not get more than few cups of ash and creosote out of the chimney. It's always fairly clean.
If your having chimney fires your not doing it right. Check out Hearth.com and do some reading. My heating bills during the winter would get as high as $300.00 in the coldest months. Burning wood, my gas bill is around $30.00 per month. This is mainly the water heater and occasional furnace if I don't keep the wood stove going at night. I also enjoy cutting firewood and look forward to it. I have to say I have the best chainsaw in the world and I will gladly put it head to head with anything comparable. Dolmar 7900 is a very nice piece of equipment!!
This being said, I'm looking at fabricating a GARN style boiler to heat my home and future barn. My brother has built several boiler units, simple, around 240 gallons, water jacketed door, and he burns whatever he wants and achieves burn times of 24 hours plus. I think he has around $2400.00 total into his personal boiler and its been running for the last 3 years with no issue.

If you really want to save $ by heating your house with wood, check out rocket mass home built style stoves. I will do one some day. Up to 10 times more efficient than these archaic monsters you guys are using.

My uncial has a wood master, not sure in size but its bigger than mine. He had a 3200 sq ft house he was heating. He moved to a 1400 sq ft house that is heavily insulated. He told me that 28hrs is the shortest burn he has had all winter so far. That's awesome!

I am running the 5036. Installed it in 2006. I did most of the installation myself. I went with baseboard radiators instead of tying into my propane furnace. I love the baseboard heat as it keeps a more even heat in the house, not the ups and downs of the central system, no blower motor sound to put up with in the manufactured home.
I am out in the open so when it down below 0 Deg.'s and the wind is blowing hard some times the baseboard system can't keep up and my propane heat kicks on. This only happens maybe once or twice a year. I might not have put in enough radiators also, so that could be a cause of it not keeping up. Also with all the pex tubing and 1 6 foot radiator in the crawl space it stays really warm down there.
I buy my wood by the truck load, 20 full cord of all Oak for $1900. Lasts me about 2 years burning all year, just to heat my hot water in the summer. I have found that cutting the wood to about 18 inches and just loading the front half of the fire box is more efficient. I can load it at about 5 PM and only have to put a couple of logs on it in the morning about 10 AM to get through the day, then repeat.
Best investment I ever made. I was spending about $2400-$3000 a year on propane when it was $1.40 a gallon.
The only thing I can say about Central Boiler is that they are very picky about the 25 Year warranty. I have heard of them denying claims for burning wet wood and trash in the boiler.

Defense Dominates in Horizon League Opener
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Last season when Green Bay played Detroit, then-freshman Shareeta Brown averaged 21.6 points in three meetings. This year, the nation's second leading scorer at 26.0 points per game was held to a season-low eight points as Green Bay (11-2, 1-0 HL) and its nationally fifth-best defense continued its streak of dominance defeating Detroit (7-6, 0-1 HL) 62-31 in the Horizon League opener.
Green Bay set the defensive tone early, forcing a Detroit shot clock violation on the first possession of the game. On the ensuing possession, Senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) took a pass from fellow senior Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) in transition and laid it in for the first points of the game.
"I think our defense played well, they had to. We're stingy, these kids play hard and help each other and they're in the right spot at the right time," head coach Kevin Borseth said.
The Phoenix stretched the lead to 5-3 before Detroit sophomore Shareeta Brown, the nation's second-leading scorer at 26.0 points per game, was fouled and went to the line. Brown made both attempts, but the two points were the only two she would score in the first half. With two fouls, she saw just 10 minutes on the court in the opening frame.
Tied at 5-5, Green Bay started a 7-2 run with an Eichler layup. Less than a minute later senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) drilled a three, starting a streak of eight consecutive points for the Phoenix's leading scorer.
Detroit was able to cut the lead to 17-14 with 6:15 remaining in the first half, but from there the Phoenix used an 11-0 run to take a 28-14 lead into the locker room. Ritchie finished the first half with a game-high 12 points on a perfect 5-5 from the field including 2-2 from long range.
A 9-2 run to open the second half forced Detroit to call a timeout after Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario, Canada) forced one of Detroit's 18 turnovers on the night and found Ritchie, who dished it to Bauer for the finish. The Phoenix scored 22 points off Titan turnovers, tying a season high.
A layup from Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) with 11:07 remaining moved the lead to 46-23, but sparked a scoreless drought from both teams for the next 3:07. During that span, Ranger grabbed three rebounds and blocked a shot. Ranger scored just two points on the night, but grabbed a game-high nine boards.
With 5:28 on the clock, Ritchie grabbed her seventh steal of the game, setting a new career high. She found Lukan on the other end for the score and the foul. Lukan hit her attempt from the charity stripe, pushing the lead to 51-26. Ritchie finished with 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting and also had four assists.
Green Bay closed the game on a 9-3 run over the final 4:12, including four points from reserve players Sam Zastrow (Algoma, Wis.) and Taylor Thomas (Wausau, Wis.). Zastrow, who finished the game with two points, an assist and a steal, knocked down a turnaround 15-footer with 1:58 remaining. Thomas grabbed an offensive rebound and dished it to Ranger, who fed it back to Thomas in the lane for the lay in for the final points of the evening.
After holding Detroit, who entered the contest in the top-25 in the nation in shooting percentage, to just 26.8 percent from the floor, Green Bay has held five opponents to less than 30 percent shooting this season. The win also marks the ninth time Green Bay has kept an opponent under 50 points, and the fourth time an opponent hasn't reached 40 points. The Titans' 31 points was the lowest total an opponent has had against the Phoenix this season.
For the sixth straight game, Green Bay impressed in the paint by holding a 34-14 advantage over Detroit. During the six-game winning streak, the Phoenix has outscored opponents 206-64 down low.
Lukan scored 11 points, and had an impressive six rebounds, six assists and three steals. Bauer also added 11, while Eichler pitched in 10.
Brown was Detroit's leading scorer and rebounder with eight points and five boards after attempting just four shots from the field.
"She's an incredibly talented player, and every time you play her you're going to have your hands full," Borseth said.

Semmering, Austria • Veronika Velez Zuzulova of Slovakia upset the favorites to win a World Cup night slalom Saturday for her first career victory.
She trailed overall World Cup leader Tina Maze by 0.55 seconds after the opening leg but overtook the Slovenian with a near-flawless final run. Velez Zuzulova finished in a combined time of 1 minute, 37.28 seconds. Kathrin Zettel of Austria was 0.10 back. Maze was third, 0.20 behind.
The rest of the field finished more than a second behind Velez Zuzulova, who celebrated her victory by lying face-down in the snow in the finish area for about 30 seconds.
"A while ago I was almost thinking that it's impossible to win one day," said the 28-year-old Velez Zuzulova, who has been racing on the World Cup circuit since 2000.
The Slovakian, who married her French coach Romain Velez in the offseason, said attacking was her only tactic for the final run.
"After the first run I was really happy," Velez Zuzulova said. "But the second run was really difficult, as I knew Kathrin had a good time. I had to attack; it was the only way I could win."
Zettel said she was "super happy" to finish second.
"To get this result in front of your home crowd is such a great feeling," she said.
Teenager Mikeala Shiffrin of Vail, Colo., who led the slalom standings going into the race, was in fourth place after the first run but straddled a gate and didn't finish her second run.
Defending overall champion Lindsey Vonn missed the race while recovering from an intestinal illness, and world slalom champion Marlies Schild of Austria is out for three months after knee surgery.
Maze earned her 11th podium finish of the season, took the lead in the slalom standings and extended her overall lead. But she still couldn't hide her disappointment about losing her commanding first-run lead.
Maze leads the overall World Cup standings with 1,059 points, 427 ahead of Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, who finished fourth in the night slalom. Vonn is 645 points behind in fifth place.
"I am bit emotional," Maze said. "The year is ending; I am skiing so good. It's amazing."
Vonn has yet to decide if she will return to the circuit for speed racing from Jan. 10-13 at one of her favorite venues, St. Anton, Austria, said U.S. women's coach Alex Hoedlmoser.
"Lindsey is working hard on her physical fitness and she is doing ski training," Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press. "However, we are not putting her under any pressure and we have not set a date. The decision is completely up to Lindsey and the people she's working with now. It would be useless to return when she's not back at full strength."
Shiffrin topped the slalom standings after her first career victory last week in Are, Sweden. She was 0.87 back in fourth after the opening run before skiing out in her second.
"This is only my second year racing World Cups and every experience is new. I am trying to learn as fast as I can," she said. "Wearing the red bib (as leader of the slalom standings) was my dream ever since I was little, but I never put a date on it. I didn't really think about it at the start; it was just another bib at just another race."
The women's World Cup continues with two more slaloms in Munich on Jan. 1 and a night race three days later in Zagreb, Croatia.
BORMIO, Italy • Hannes Reichelt of Austria and Dominik Paris of Italy shared a downhill victory in one of the closest races in skiing history Saturday, with the top four finishers separated by a mere two-hundredths of a second.
Paris took the early lead by clocking 1 minute, 58.62 seconds for his first career win and Reichelt matched him to give Austria its first speed win of the season.
Overall World Cup leader Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway finished third, 0.01 seconds behind the smallest possible margin. Klaus Kroell of Austria was fourth, missing out on a podium finish despite being just 0.02 behind the winners.
"On a hill as tough as this to have a race that close, that's surprising," Svindal said. "The crazy thing is we were fast in different sections."
In the super-G at the 1999 world championships in Vail, Colo., Lasse Kjus and Hermann Maier shared victory, with Hans Knauss 0.01 behind in third. However, the fourth-place finisher in that race, Stephan Eberharter, was 0.22 back.
The top American finisher was Travis Ganong in seventh for his best career result.
There was also a downhill in Panorama, British Columbia, in 1992 won by William Besse, with Daniel Mahrer and Guenther Mader sharing second each 0.01 behind.
Among the women, there was a three-way victory in a giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, in 2002 between Nicole Hosp, Tina Maze and Andrine Flemmen.
"It's for sure the tightest race I've ever been in," added Svindal, who sat out training Friday with a sore throat. "Obviously 0.01 is extremely tight and you wonder what you could have done to be faster than the winner, but that's always the case. The race is over. I had a good run and I'll take third place today."
Early, it looked like the race might be remembered as an Italian sweep, with Paris, Werner Hell and Christof Innerhofer sitting 1-2-3 through 13 starters. With Italian great Alberto Tomba on hand, the local fans were going wild.
Reichelt was then faster than Paris at each checkpoint, but he lost time on the bottom section and crossed dead even prompting the fans to cheer again.
Svindal made a slight error near the end of his run nearly going down on one hip but battled to regain his balance.
"It definitely wasn't my best turn on the hill, but I didn't crash and I saved a third place," Svindal said.
Svindal turned 30 earlier this week, came down with a sore throat.
"I tried warm up yesterday but it wasn't a good day for me," he said. "I decided if I wanted to have any chance, I needed to rest. I went to bed and read some books and rested up for today."
Svindal matched Michael Walchhofer's record from 2004 of six podiums in speed events before New Year's.
"I'm on a very good roll," Svindal said. "Every day other guys are fast, too, but I'm always right there."
With 674 points, Svindal also extended his overall lead ahead of Marcel Hirscher of Austria (560) and Ted Ligety (537) of the United States both technical specialists who did not race. He also still leads the downhill standings.
Kroell was the last of the favorites to ski and was 0.20 faster than the leaders at the final checkpoint. But when he crossed the line and saw the results board, he buried his face in his hands.
"Fourth is not bad, but it's not fair to lose by 0.02," Kroell said. "I don't have any joy at all. I'm the (fool) of the day. ... My finish was very bad."
Reichelt earned the first downhill win of his career. He has also won four super-G's and one giant slalom, and took silver in super-G at the last world championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.
"I see myself as an all-around racer," Reichelt said. "I can win in three disciplines."
Paris' only previous podium result was a second two seasons ago in a downhill in Chamonix, France. The Italian moved up to second in the downhill standings, 92 points behind Svindal.
It was the third speed victory for the Italian men's team this season, after Innerhofer won a downhill and Matteo Marsaglia took a super-G in Beaver Creek, Colo.
"We have a great group and we're always pushing each other," Paris said. "Winning my first race before my home fans is truly something special."
Ganong was pleased with his performance on the sun-splashed mountain.
"When I train I push it to a certain amount and it's smooth and fast and consistent, and I reached that level today," Ganong said.
Always known as one of the most physically demanding courses on the circuit, several racers fell as they battled exhaustion on the lower section.
Andrej Sporn of Slovenia was the first to go down, within sight of the finish. He got up and skied down under his own power. Joachim Puchner of Austria crashed into the nets but also appeared to escape serious injury.
In all, 11 racers failed to finish.
Ganong battled through fatigue near the end of his run.
"When I went off the San Pietro jump, I was (completely) dehydrated," said the skier from Squaw Valley, Calif. "Then my legs went numb and I just tried to stick on my line.
"But if you really just push two turns, that's the whole bottom part, so I really just saved my energy a little bit and pushed on those last two. I could barely stop when I crossed the finish line, but it was good and I was happy."
The next stop on the circuit is a special city event in Munich on New Year's Day for select athletes. Speed specialists have a break until the mid-January classic races in Wengen, Switzerland, and Kitzbuehel, Austria.
Oberhof, Germany • Kikkan Randall of the United States claimed her second cross-country World Cup victory of the season when she won the prologue event of the Tour de Ski on Saturday.
Randall clinched the 3.1-kilometer sprint by leaving Charlotte Kalla of Sweden 4.4 seconds behind. World Cup leader Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland was third.
The tour consists of seven events over nine days in Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
Randall finished last season's series in 10th place and was second in the sprint prologue.
Petter Northug of Norway won the men's 4-kilometer prologue to stretch his World Cup lead. Northug beat Marcus Hellner of Sweden by 6.1 seconds, while Alexander Legkov of Russia was 7.2 seconds behind. Three-time tour winner Dario Cologna of Switzerland was fourth.

Agreed. As soon as a saw the double take derby I went looking for this to vote. My obsession with the space program requires it.
Re: It's inevitable (please revote!!!)
While I appreciate the clever humor in this design, I can't vote for it. I don't like the choice for Kirk. I don't like the face design for "red shirt." And this shirt is just too masculine for my female self. Not to mention, the more I look at the design of red shirt's face, the more I see something else...reminiscent of Georgia O'Keefe. And when I say I prefer feminine shirts, that is not what I'm going for.
uniCONE is one of the cutest designs Walmazan has done & I hope it wins!
Stop it Jack! Everyone will recognize you if you keep acting like an ass!!!
No wonder why I hit that pothole on the way to work this mornig... Some jack@$$ stole the traffic cone that had it marked...
This shirt is awesome... I wouldn't expect anything less from Mr W!
I sure hope it prints!
Funny! Your designs are always the best, Walmazan!
Oh man, this is awesome. I would buy it.
That donkey must have seen Charlie the Unicorn. I don't blame him for trying, who doesn't want to go to (the real) candy mountain?!
Re: Rescue

Another nice design by Walmazan, it's cool he has his own style and you don't even have to look at the artist to know it's his.

I'm glad you asked! Thanks for being nice and not snarky!
Parody is usually defined as something that trivializes or makes light of an idea, which this does. I've made light of the fact that Luke totally kissed his sister, and he's being confronted with that mistake after learning their true relationship! Gross!
I like to point people in the direction of MAD magazine if they're unclear exactly where the line is regarding parody. They've been in print for decades, so it's an excellent training ground.
Also worth noting: parody is protected as free speech by the first amendment of the constitution, in spite of what some people may tell you.
Another awesome resource, though it's more about IP and inspiration: everythingisaremix.info
So awesome, as usual.

text: Choose your pistol and a good holster. You'll want several mag carriers as well. There is no practice, other than you are allowed to walk through and assess the individual stages before the group starts. You can figure where and from what position you'll shoot from, be able to see all the targets and their positions, and maybe count your shots and figure where your tactical reloads will need to take place. Our club does IPSC, but it's similar. Under USPSA, there are a few classes such as limited 10 (ten round mags only), production (any modern hi-cap pistol/mags), and single stack (1911's mainly or SIGs and such with single stack mags), and minor (9mm) and major (40S&W and over) categories to shoot in. If you're shooting some steel target stages...definitely bring more ammo than the match lists....for instance, match xxxxx, 176 total round count...these are good hits on target and the count won't include misses....yes, you can shoot 300 rounds in a stage or until you run out of ammo or full mags...you're only going against yourself and the clock. First time...bring twice the ammo of the total round count, and just go to learn and have fun, and be safe. Safety will be reiterated numerous times. Your muzzle should never go past 90 degrees either side of you facing down range. I've seen one guy get disqualified for spinning around after engaging a target in the sixth stage of an eight stage match. Good luck.

Thank you!'
It's odd because when ever I leave and come back he is silent.
But if it's my other family that is in the house he barks and stuff. So I think maybe they aren't giving him what he needs?
But basically I'm just going to stop leaving because he behaves perfectly when I am there and when I don't leave them with y parents
I'm not sure that I could be much help, I just know what my girl does when I or my BF leave. She goes insane. She knocks things off the dresser (when we leave her in the room), bangs stuff on the walls just to make noise, jumps up and scratches the door, whines very loudly. I was told that she has SA and that a lot of rescues (like her) suffer from it, usually because they were abandoned at one point in their life.
What I try to do when I know I'm going to be out of the room for more than a minute (that's all it takes for her to wig out) is give her something to do. It's usually a bully stick to chew on or a Kong filled with peanut butter and treats. She also gets regular physical and mental exercise (off leash runs in an enclosed area, or long lead runs in the back yard, training sessions, lots of fetch and tug) just to wear her out, especially if we know that we will be gone a while. Even when she's in the crate, she gets something to engage in.
Another thing that will help is, when you come home, don't allow or encourage excited greetings. It's cute, but I've read that it doesn't help with SA. I usually just walk in casually and if she's calm or hasn't caused any damage, she gets rewarded. If she has been crazy, she gets ignored and then rewarded when she calms down. It also helps if you don't make your leaving a big deal.
I hope this helps! Having a dog with SA can be difficult, but it can definitely be worked through!

Seperation anxiety? Or just not happy?
Okay guys. So with Elios, when I'm home he is usually silent, in cage or not.
And if he does bark (because he needs something or is bored) I fixit or tell him to be quiet. And he will obay my command.
But when for a day or half a day and my mom watches him apparently he just makes noises all day.
Is it because I'm not there? (Because if I leave he never barks like seperation anxiety)
Is it because he gets away with it? That they don't command him to be quiet like I do?
I think he is pretty attached to me. But I haven't noticed any seperation anxiety when I leave.
He does hate when the pack seperates though..
He doesn't misbehave with me . Because he knows not too.
But everyone says he is just crazy wen I'm not there.

Bar Keepers Friend
Rated 5 out of 5 by hopeh from Best pot I've ever owned I've owned a variety of Dutch ovens over a lifetime, but this was my first A-C in the CC line. I had some doubts about whether or not it would be so much better than A-C's standard stainless, but risked giving it a try. It's really worth the extra expense if you can afford it, because it IS that much better. (I saved up for a year.) I use it for everything, and everything comes out perfectly, including large batches of authentic Indian basmati rice, a very fragile product. The lid is almost air-tight, so rice is a snap. It responds almost instantly to higher or lower flames, giving you complete control. It cleans like a dream, and if you refresh it with a Bar Keeper's Friend rub-down (using a soft pad), it gets all its shine back. I've had mine a few years now, cooking with it weekly, and it's as pretty as it was right out of the box. Yup, I love this beautiful Dutch oven, and can't recommend it too highly.Date published: 2015-07-23Rated 5 out of 5 by Grammaskitchen from Awesome Product I have looked at this Dutch oven for probably a year, but was not sure I wanted to pay this much. Finally 2 months ago I decided I was going to treat myself to something I really wanted. Oh am I glad I did! This is a fabulous product and I use it at least once a week. I cook for large family dinners and this Dutch oven handles whatever I come up with for dinner. It is beautiful, cooks at a lower temperature then other Dutch ovens because of the quality of the pan and it's multi-layer construction. As I write this I am simmering beef short ribs in a red wine sauce for an English Beef pie. The short ribs browned evenly, beautifully and quickly. I deglazed the pan with the red wine, reduced it, added the remaining ingredients and it has easily accommodated 3 lbs of short ribs, a lb of pearl onions and 8 cups of liquid. The oven cleans easily and with a bit of BarKeepers Friend polishes up quickly and looks like it's never been used.Date published: 2014-04-05Rated 5 out of 5 by QUALITYORIENTED from A BEAUTY O BEHOLD This is actually a piece of fine art. The absolute functionality of copper core is awesome. I have a Viking which REFUSES to do anything but keep a slow boil at the very lowest setting. Copper Core from All-Clad has been the answer, even over my Le Creuset pieces. Heat distribution is beyond what I imagined. BUT, the second most wonderful thing is that this is A PIECE OF ART! The balance of this piece as well as its solid construction are gorgeous. The FEEL of the piece and its handling are superb. This is my third piece of Copper Core by All-Clad. If you have ANY doubts that Copper Core is worth the extra expense, put them to rest! You will get EVEN heat distribution even compared to all the other All-Clad choices! THIS is my NEW favorite piece of All-Clad and shall probably remain so FOREVER! Oh, the soups and batches of greens I will be preparing. THIS DUTCH OVEN is beyond every cent you lay out and WILL BE in the will for my daughter!!!!!!!Date published: 2012-12-20

Arsène Wenger believes Lukas Podolski is a completely different player than he was during his three-year spell at Bayern Munich.
The Germany international moved to the Allianz Arena from Cologne in 2006, and scored 26 times in 106 appearances before returning to his former club, where he flourished once more.
The 27-year-old has made an instant impact at Arsenal though, and Wenger says his experience meant this was always likely.
"I think sometimes when a player goes to a big club early, there are other players there that they cannot take their place from," he said. "Maybe he was not ready and completely mature, I don't know.
"Now he is ready. He is 27, between that period [at Bayern] and now he has 50 or 60 more caps for Germany and a World Cup and a European Championship behind him.
"He has experience, he has 100 caps for Germany. You see that in a game, he is calm and when he gets a chance you think it will be a goal."
Wenger is confident Podolski will continue his hot goalscoring form after netting in three successive matches.
"We have signed a player who was in a club that was not doing well. Last year he scored 18 goals in a club that went down [Cologne]," he said.
"For me that is worth 30 goals in a club that is dominating a championship. It doesn't mean that he will score 30, though, because he played central striker last year and for us he plays more on the right side, left side. He can finish, that is for sure."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I dry fired a G19 yesterday and found the trigger ratcheted up until the striker release.
Is that normal or was it just that gun?

I dry fired a G19 yesterday and found the trigger ratcheted up until the striker release.
Is that normal or was it just that gun?
After having many Glocks over the years.......me thinks it's the gun. Never had a "ratcheting" trigger. :mrgreen:
Sorry, not a clue........unless there is some grit, etc. hanging around the trigger mechanism. If the trigger is messed up, you can buy a new one for $25 bucks or less (I would recommend a 3.5 lb., it's not really like a 3.5 lb. on a single action). If it's yours, remove the slide and spray it good with brake cleaner to blast anything out of there then oil it real good.
Could have been a severe lack of lubrication, too. I've handled a few that felt like that after being blasted out with brake cleaner/gun scrubber, and then not lubricated (or lubed properly). If you completely degrease ANY gun with a spray solvent product, it can do weird things to the action's feel/function.
(Not picking on Charlie's above advice, as a LOT of folks use that stuff; just reporting what I have seen.)
DJ Niner is correct about any gun not being lubed. In retrospect, I would advise the gun be generously lubed BEFORE being de-greased to see if that solves the problem. If not, then get in there an clean it good with Hoppes, de-greaser or whatever, but just be sure it is lubed when you try it again. And again, if you completely de-grease a gun, you MUST completely lube it before working the action. :rolleyes:
Have U ever tried a Glock trigger before that one? It may just be the way it is and U are not familiar with it. Just an idea....
I've owned Glocks since 1993 - My Glock trigger feels like any other Glock. Didn't know if you had been exposed to that brand before. As I get close to the breaking point, the Glock trigger gets a little spongy - not sure how else to describe it.
My night stand gun was my Glock 34 - but I've been shooting my P99s so much, that I know that trigger by heart. I don't shoot the G34 much. Last time I did, I was way outta practice w/ the trigger. So, I bought an M5 light, and my SW99 is my new night stand gun now. I figure that if I wake up in the middle of the night and need it, I want something that I am super familiar with by instinct...
Just a guess, but you said it's a NEW gun. Need to shoot it a bit to get the rough edges off... Then do the 25 cent trigger job to smooth things out.

Rachel Yankey believes Arsenal can summon the spirit of the FA Cup when they face Everton in Sunday's title decider.
Vic Akers' side beat Sunderland at Pride Park on Monday to lift that trophy for the 10th time in 10 Final appearances, but a much tougher task awaits them this weekend.
The defending champions must win on Merseyside to retain their Premier League crown and complete a domestic treble. Any other result will see the trophy leave north London for the first time since 2003.
Everton will start as favourites after ending Arsenal's 108-match unbeaten League record in March but, with so much at stake, Yankey is backing the Gunners to prevail. She thinks Arsenal's knack of rising to the big occasion will hold them in good stead on Sunday.
"Really it's a one-off game, it's like a Cup Final and we're good at them, so you never know," Yankey told Arsenal.com.
"This is a Club that produces big players and big players want to play on the biggest stage of all. In a Cup Final everyone wants to perform and to win so, over the years, that's why Arsenal keep rising to the occasion. I'm confident we can do that again at Everton.
"We also want to win the title for Vic. It's his last game in charge and it's sad it's coming to an end but we wanted to win the FA Cup for him. Now we'll go into the Everton game and give everything and try our best to win the treble for him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Dabrafenib (Tafinlar®)
Pronounced: da braf e nib
Classification: Kinase Inhibitor
About Dabrafenib (Tafinlar®)
BRAF is a protein kinase that plays a role in regulating genes that are responsible for cell replication and survival. It is estimated that 50% of melanomas contain an abnormal form of BRAF (also called/known as a BRAF mutation). This mutated form of BRAF appears to promote overgrowth of these cancer cells. Dabrafenib works by blocking the actions of the abnormal BRAF, inhibiting cell replication and potentially causing cell death.
How to Take Dabrafenib
Dabrafenib is given in a capsule form and is typically taken twice a day, 12 hours apart, at the same times each day. Dabrafenib capsules should be taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after eating) and should not be opened, crushed, broken or chewed. A missed dose can be taken up to 6 hours before the next scheduled dose. Do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.
The blood levels of this medication can be affected by certain foods and medications, so they should be avoided. These include: grapefruit, grapefruit juice, verapamil, ketoconazole, rifampin, phenytoin, St. John's wort, and modafanil. Dabrafenib can also impact Coumadin (blood thinner) levels.
If possible, you should not take this medication at the same time as "heartburn" medications (including proton pump inhibitors such as prilosec, nexium, protonix; H2 blockers, such as tagamet, zantac; and antacids, such as Tums, Rolaids) as these may effect how dabrafenib is absorbed. If you are taking Coumadin, you may require more frequent blood testing while taking dabrafenib. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you take.
BRAF Testing
This medication only works in melanoma that has one of two specific BRAF mutations called V600E or V600K, and this abnormality must be tested for prior to starting the medication to identify patients appropriate for therapy. In order to test for mutated BRAF, a sample of the tumor is sent to a special laboratory that performs this test.
Storage and Handling
Store your medication in the original, labeled container at room temperature and in a dry location (unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist). This medication should not be stored in a pillbox. Keep containers out of reach of children and pets.
If a caregiver prepares your dose for you, they should consider wearing gloves or pour the pills directly from their container into the cap, a small cup, or directly into your hand. They should avoid touching the pills. They should always wash their hands before and after giving you the medication. Pregnant or nursing women should not prepare the dose for you. Ask your oncology team where to return any unused medication for disposal. Do not flush down the toilet or throw in the trash.
Where do I get this medication?
Dabrafenib is available through select specialty pharmacies. Your oncology team will work with your prescription drug plan to identify an in-network specialty pharmacy for distribution of this medication and shipment directly to your home.
Insurance Information
This medication may be covered under your prescription drug plan. Patient assistance may be available to qualifying individuals without prescription drug coverage. Co-pay assistance, which reduces the patient's co-pay responsibility may be available for eligible commercially (non-government sponsored) insured patients. Your care team can help you find these resources, if they are available.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of dabrafenib. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Fever can be a serious side effect of this medication. If you develop a fever of 101 or greater, call your healthcare team right away and before taking the next dose of medication.
New Skin Cancer
In clinical trials, some patients developed a new skin cancer (melanoma or squamous cell cancer). You should have skin examinations every 2 months while on therapy, and for 6 months after the medication has been stopped. Check your own skin regularly and report any new "warts", sores or bumps that bleed or do not heal, or notice any changes in moles to your healthcare provider.
Eye Issues
In clinical trials, several patients developed conditions called uveitis and iritis, which is a swelling or irritation of the middle layer and the colored part of the eye, respectively. Symptoms of this condition include blurry vision, loss of vision, seeing colored dots or "floaters" (dark spots in the field of vision), seeing a halo (blurred outline around objects), eye redness, swelling, or pain and sensitivity to light. In addition, a disorder called retinal pigment epithelial detachment (RPED) is associated with trametinib, which is often taken with dabrafenib. If you develop any of these symptoms or changes in your vision, notify your healthcare provider right away.
High Blood Sugar
This medication can cause elevated blood sugar levels in patients with and without diabetes. Your healthcare team will monitor your blood sugar. If you develop increased thirst, urination or hunger, blurry vision, headaches or your breath smells like fruit, notify your healthcare team. Diabetics should monitor their blood sugar closely and report elevations to the healthcare team.
Some patients may develop a rash, with or without itching, that can become severe or become infected if left untreated. Use an alcohol free moisturizer on your skin and lips; avoid moisturizers with perfumes or scents. If your skin does crack or bleed, be sure to keep the area clean to avoid infection. Be sure to notify your healthcare provider of any rash that develops, as this can be a serious reaction. They can give you more tips on caring for your skin and prescribe topical or oral therapy to help with the itching and rash.
This medication can also cause a reaction on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet that causes the skin to darken, become thickened, red, swollen or tender. Report these symptoms to your care provider. This too can be treated with topical medications that your care provider can recommend or prescribe.
Blood Clots
When used in combination with trametinib, dabrafenib can increase the risk of blood clots in your arms, legs or lungs (DVT, pulmonary embolism or PE). Symptoms can include: swelling, redness, or pain in a leg or arm, chest pain or pressure, or shortness of breath. If you experience symptoms of these problems, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately or go to an emergency room.
Loss or Thinning of Scalp and Body Hair (Alopecia)
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.
This medication, when used in combination with trametinib, may increase the risk of bleeding. If you experience headaches, dizziness, cough up blood or blood clots, vomit blood or have red or black tar like looking stools, contact your care team immediately.
Heart Problems
Dabrafenib can cause heart problems, including heart failure. Your healthcare team may check your baseline heart function before you start taking this medication. Notify your provider if you develop rapid weight gain, swelling of ankles or feet, shortness of breath, or feel like your heart is pounding or racing.
Hemolytic Anemia
Dabrafenib can cause the breakdown of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia) in people who have a G6PD deficiency, which is an inherited condition in which the body does not have enough of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. You may not even be aware that you have this condition, therefore all patients taking this medication should report the following symptoms of red blood cell breakdown to their provider: jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes), weakness, dizziness or shortness of breath.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
Headache, Muscle and Joint Pain/Aches
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relieve pain.
Reproductive Concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment and for at least 4 months after stopping treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive.
Birth control using hormones (such as birth control pills, injections, or patches) may not work as well while you are taking dabrafenib. You should use another effective method of birth control while taking this medication.
This medication can affect a woman's fertility and future ability to become pregnant. It can also cause lower sperm counts in men and may affect the ability to father a child. Talk with your healthcare provider about fertility preservation options. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Nemo, Jan 17, 2010.
I heard that Howard Schultz is looking to buy the team. I'm trying to find the link.
The Seattle SuperPistons?
I think this is a pretty reasonable take. If you don't know anything about basketball and don't have a driving desire to run a team, then for the betterment of the team, take your cash and get out of the way and let someone else take it. Makes a lot of sense to me. Dave Bing would have made a nice lead for a group to buy the team, but he's needed elsewhere. Joe is an interesting choice too. The upside is there is an opportunity to get new owners with a passion for the game. Of course, the downside is that they may not want to stay here.
Maybe Zeke would have an interest???
Isiah Thomas?
You beat me to it.
Damn you DD!!!!!!
I believe the post count shows that you are the victor...............
They got switched somehow. You were ahead of me when I replied.
From my POV, just say no.
Kid rock will invest
Now you are talking, Kid Rock, Zeke and Eminem.
Rascoe is sticking it to me again. Maybe this is my punishment for threatening to ban last year?
Don't forget Seger... with that group the Beatles would come back to the Palace. lol
Barkley is looking for a new spot for a casino How bout the 89 Pistons conglomerate?... Does Laim still own the box company?
Stop hatin!
Will this pending sale effect Joe's decisions... would he have to go into cost reduction mode to attract a buyer (see other teams that went up for sale). From Langlois: Karen Davidson, the wife of late Pistons owner Bill Davidson, released a statement late Wednesday confirming what ex-minority owner Oscar Feldman had earlier told Crain's Detroit Business – her intent is to sell the Pistons. She spoke informally to reporters at halftime of Wednesday's win over Boston and confirmed the same. Once the process gets put into motion, it's going to take a lot of poring over the books to accurately assess the value of the franchise given the uncertainty of the times. What doesn't seem uncertain to me is the future of the Pistons in Detroit. David Stern wouldn't allow the Pistons to leave this market unless it was an absolute last resort. He signed off on Seattle's transfer to Oklahoma City only because the team was bleeding money due to an unfavorable lease and the apparent lack of civic interest in remedying the situation. That isn't the case in Detroit. The Pistons own their own building. And The Palace – still recognized as one of the finest arenas in the NBA – would be a major selling point to any prospective buyer. That's why the media speculation that the Red Wings and Pistons will soon be looking to share a downtown Detroit building rings hollow. Whoever buys the Pistons is almost certainly going to be attracted by the moneymaking potential of The Palace – and the moneymaking potential of The Palace is largely undermined when you remove its primary tenant, the Pistons. And now and into the foreseeable future, the political will to sink $300 million into a new arena in Detroit – which is what I've been told it would take by people who know the business – simply isn't close to being there, unless a private buyer wants to build it out of his own pocket. And good luck getting a bank to finance that today.
I try, but...
I told y'all last year that this economic crackup was gunna be big. We're just starting this. We're nowhere near the climax.
Sell it to Madonna. Or Stevie Wonder. Where's Bill Bonds when you need him?
Separate names with a comma.

Heritage Oaks Bank Donates to SLO County Office of Education - 8/12/13
Contributions from B.O.O.K. Debit Card Program to Go to Family Literacy Program
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.—At a San Luis Obispo County Office of Education meeting on August 1, Heritage Oaks Bank made the first of what will be an ongoing series of contributions to the San Luis Obispo County Office of Education (SLO COE). In 2012, Heritage Oaks Bank launched the "Banking on Our Kids" (B.O.O.K.) Program, which provides a special debit card that triggers a $.05 contribution for each transaction a customer does using a signature. The contributions are then given to the County Office of Education where the customer lives.
In San Luis Obispo County, the money raised will go to the SLO COE affiliate of Raising a Reader, a nationwide organization that loans books to local children weekly and encourages reading for the whole family. The Bank's initial donation of over $2,500 consisted of funds collected since the B.O.O.K. program launched in mid-2012 and the Bank will continue to present the donations quarterly.
"We were thrilled to receive this donation from Heritage Oaks Bank," said Shannon White Bond, Senior Program Coordinator at the SLO COE. "Raising a Reader is a national program that loans high-quality children's books to local kids each week and connects families with local libraries so they can develop a lifelong habit of reading and learning." Liz Summer, a Senior Client Relationship Manager for the Bank, added "We're honored to help the SLO COE and Raising a Reader with our B.O.O.K. Program. B.O.O.K. makes it easy for our customers to help local education while going about their daily purchasing routine."
To participate in the B.O.O.K. program, a customer of Heritage Oaks Bank must have a deposit account and request the special B.O.O.K. debit card. Then, the customer simply uses the card for purchases just as they normally would. The Bank tracks the eligible transactions and provides the contributions to the customer's local county office of education. To find out more, contact any local branch of Heritage Oaks Bank. Branch locations can be found at www.heritageoaksbank.com.

The Kenshikan Dojo of Hokama Tetsuhiro, Sensei (Hanshi, 10th Dan) has long been a great source of information for foreign visitors to Okinawa. Apart from having an incredible museum of karate and kobudo, there are a number of hard-to-get books (and other media) by Hokama Sensei and others available in English and Japanese.
Hokama Sensei has long wanted to make it easier for overseas karateka to obtain these books simply, so he has asked one of his students, Chika Azama san, to setup a way to do this.
Chika-san has commenced a project called Lequio Project. A selection of books (and later other media) will be progressively added.
Lequio Project was established on December 13, 2011 to support HOKAMA, Tetsuhiro Sensei (Okinawa Gojuryu Karate-Do Kobudo Kenshi-Kai) and his dojo. This internet shop is anuthorized by Kenshi-Kai and help Kenshikai with sharing the knowledge on Okinawan traditional karate-do/kbudo and the culture with karatekas abroad through DVDs, books, etc.
Project Lequio will initially be managed through the Lequio Project Facebook page, and later a standalone website. Payment is completed through PayPal, and prompt shipping is done through EMS.
I was the first (test) customer for this, having purchased the new book in English about Kyan Chotoku (review coming soon). The process was very smooth, and the books arrived 2 days after shipment from Japan to my address in Sydney, Australia.
Project Lequio is a good way to obtain some hard to get material direct from Okinawa, and in so doing, support Hokama Sensei in his efforts to allow all people to learn more about Okinawan karate and kobudo.

Several months ago I purchased the 16 piece Classic Cafe Blue dinnerware set at a local discount store. Wanting to add salad/luncheon plates and 1qt. serving bowls to the set, I searched local stores only to come up empty handed. I visited your web sight to happily find the bowls and plates for sale and at a discount! The dishes arrived nicely packaged in bubblewrap and unharmed within 10 days. My only regret is that I didn't shop your web sight first. A new Happy Customer with your web sight, long time customer of Corelle. Patti in Cincinnati

These dishes are durable, light and stack well without taking up a lot of space. Combined with the classic "cafe" look, they are excellent everyday dishes. The only possible improvement would be to include a set of luncheon plates (had to order these separately).

The corelle dishes are the best. This is my second set. The first set was replaced only because I grew tired of the pattern. The diesh are like iron. They wear and wear and wear. With the cafe blue design I just wish there were extra serving pieces to go along with the set such as medium serving bowls and platters. For now I have used the solid white colors and they accent the set just as well.

We have had several sets of Corelle over many years. We have given sets to our children as they moved out since Corelle never wears out. Our new Classic Cafe' Blue goes with our antique stuff for everyday use very nicely. I bought three sets and suplemented them with white soup bowls and 8 inch cafe blue salad/breakfast plates. They make a full set that fulfills all our needs. Now all I need are serving pieces, but the white ones do very well.

Indian CIOs are at the risk of losing business credibility if they do not improve their understanding of business technology (BT). This is the key finding from the latest report that John Brand and I just published. For this report, we surveyed 130 companies in India, using Forrester's BT Leadership Maturity Model as a baseline for gauging the BT maturity and readiness of Indian organizations. Our survey revealed a surprising level of consistency and positivity about BT among Indian firms, regardless of organization size, type or industry.
This was especially surprising given that BT is a relatively new concept in emerging markets. When we asked CIOs at Indian organizations to define BT in their own words, the responses displayed an overwhelmingly enthusiastic and optimistic view of BT; the most common theme centered on the value of BT as a general principle. However, many topics that were widely cited in self-assessments from CIOs in more mature markets like North America, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand were all but ignored by Indian CIOs, including time-to-value, market differentiation, communication, and governance. As Indian CIOs have not long been exposed to the general concepts of BT, Forrester believes that inflated self-rankings are mainly attributed to a lack of understanding of just how comprehensive BT is.
The report helps answer key questions such as:
· Why are Indian CIOs remarkably consistent in their BT views and attitudes? And is this really just due to a common tendency to inflate their own BT maturity?

Williams Lake, Taos, NM
Get an alpine start to your day on the gradual 2-mile hike to Williams Lake, at 11,300 feet in the high country above Taos Ski Valley. The trail parallels the Rio Hondo upstream to the lake. From there you can look up at New Mexico's highest point, Wheeler Peak; if you're feeling ambitious, follow the faint goat path that scrambles up the scree field on the north side of the tarn to the summit above, with views 60 miles north to Colorado.
