Should the Clippers Renew Head Coach Vinny Del Negro's Contract?April 10, 2013
With Los Angeles Clippers' head coach Vinny Del Negro's contract set to expire after this season, Clips' management should avoid the temptation to renew the coach's contract and instead seek out other options.
There is no denying Del Negro's value to this franchise as he has overseen much of the transition of Lob City from NBA laughingstock to fringe contender. However, given Del Negro's basic half-court offense and suspect minute allocations, the Clippers might be better off with a coach that can run an efficient system-like offense, while tightening the rotation, and maximizing his players' on-court performance.
Since blazing through the first half of the season en route to a league-best 32-9 record, the Clips have lost their momentum as of late. Before the Clips knocked off the Los Angeles Lakers to sweep the season series and win the franchise's first-ever Pacific Division title, the only real highlight of the second half of the season was Chris Paul's MVP performance at the All-Star game.
After Paul's masterful performance in Houston, the Clips have gone just 12-9. A lock for a top-three seed for the majority of the season, Lob City is now fighting just to get home-court advantage in the first round.
Certainly there are other factors beyond coaching that have contributed to LAC's poor play as of late, but that does not acquit Del Negro.
Los Angeles lacked energy in its latest road trip, going 1-3 on a Southwest Division tour that saw an especially egregious no-show in a 98-81 loss to the James Harden-less Houston Rockets.
During the blowout, Del Negro elected to make a statement and play none of his starters in the fourth quarter outside of Paul, the only one that was having a half-decent game.
Del Negro ripped into his team following the loss, hoping to instill a sense of urgency for their next game (via ESPNLosAngeles.com):
"We're fighting for a spot, and we come out with that second-half -- pretty much the whole game -- effort. It was poor." Del Negro said. "I know it's the fourth game in five nights, but that's no excuse. We've got plenty of depth. No excuses. I don't believe in that."
Apparently his words fell on deaf ears, as the Clips fell behind by more than 20 points in their next game against the Indiana Pacers, before falling short in a late fourth quarter rally.
Early in the season, Del Negro looked brilliant with his hands-off approach and his ten-man rotation. Now, Del Negro looks to be struggling with a learning curve, vacillating with rotation men Grant Hill, Ronny Turiaf and Ryan Hollins, and continuing to play hybrid guard Eric Bledsoe for far too few minutes.
On the year, Bledsoe is playing just 20.6 minutes per game.
Despite having the third highest PER on the team at 18.1, Bledsoe has played the eighth most minutes. Although Mini LeBron is playing behind the greatest point guard on the planet, Del Negro should still find a way to play his best players more often.
Outside of suspect minute allocations, Coach Del Negro's thin playbook is also cause for concern.
The Clippers have no seven seconds or less offense, not even a semblance of something like a space and pace attack. According to Del Negro, the Clips' offense is simply "Chris Paul."
While the Chris Paul system might have its benefits, it is yet to yield any results beyond the second round of the playoffs in CP3's seven-year career. This is no knock on Paul, rather an indication that he can only do so much for a team on the court. The Clips' first-ever Pacific Division championship is a small testament to his on-court value.
Presuming Paul re-signs with Lob City this offseason, Los Angeles is built to contend both now and in the future. As such, the Clippers' need a coach that can optimize the Clips' talent and elevate the team to the next level, while competing with coaching savants like Gregg Popovich and George Karl.
In short, the Clippers might benefit from something of a system offense.
When Coach Del Negro was hired three seasons ago, he was brought in to help cultivate the young talent of Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan. He was not expected to lead Lob City to a title.
The trade for Chris Paul just prior to the start of last season changed everything, and now Clipper Nation has to wonder whether Del Negro is the right one to lead the Clips' moving forward.
Del Negro has done a masterful job of bringing along a prospect like Griffin. His three consecutive All-Star appearances and All-NBA caliber seasons are a manifestation of his ability to cultivate young talent.
History tells us that this was not the first time Del Negro overachieved with a young roster.
He coached Derrick Rose during his rookie and sophomore seasons on the Chicago Bulls. In the process, Del Negro helped lead Chicago to back-to-back playoff appearances and a .500 regular-season record.
Rose got too big for Del Negro, and Chicago needed a new coach to help take the Bulls back to contender status.
Since replacing Del Negro with defensive tactician Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls have had back-to-back No. 1 seeds in the Eastern Conference and a conference finals appearance in 2011.
Despite the small sample size, the Bulls are a compelling case study, and indicate that Clipper Country should be better off with a more accomplished coach, or at least a more tactical one, that could take Lob City even higher.
Los Angeles should thank Del Negro for what he has accomplished over the last three seasons, and seriously reflect on who might be the greatest coach in the miserable history of the franchise.
Ultimately, Del Negro might have peaked too early. His days in the City of Angels should be numbered, in what should be a very intriguing head coach search this summer.

When NASA's Curiosity rover found a shiny object on Mars last week, researchers believed it was just part of the rover. But now, the rover has found more bright objects in Mars' soil, leading NASA officials to believe it is something native to the planet.
NASA sent commands to Curiosity Monday to take a third sample of soil from Mars to learn more about the shiny objects.

City of Brisbane...Known Facts
Welcome home to Brisbane. The city nestled in between the San Bruno mountains which border bustling San Francisco and the Peninsula.
Brisbane is called "The City of Stars" because of a holiday tradition established over 65 years ago. It is a small city located in California in the northern part of San Mateo County on the lower slopes of San Bruno Mountain and borders south of San Francisco. At the start of the Christmas/Hanukkah season, many residents and business owners place large, illuminated stars, some as big as 10 feet (3.0 m) or more in diameter, on the downhill sides of homes and offices throughout Brisbane to share in the spirit of the holidays. In April 2012, West Coast Farmers Market Association (WCFMA) launched Brisbane's first-ever farmers' market. Five years later till the present, this local Farmers Market is a staple in the community, with the vendors who come to Brisbane, fall in love with the small-town atmosphere and with friendly local residents and shoppers!
Brisbane Library began service at its present location in 1981 and offers a vibrant space for the entire community. People of all ages enjoy our books, magazines, ebooks, CDs, DVDs, WiFi, classes, and programs--all for free. To support local interests, we are proud to offer a small local history collection. For more local history, explore the City's extensive collection at City Hall.
Brisbane has several parks and trails. At the center of town is the Community Park, which houses the city's main playground, as well as a beautiful gazebo and picnic tables. There is Quarry Road and its little park, Crocker Park Recreational Trail, Firth Park/Canyon, and Brisbane's Dog Park located behind city hall.
The City is proud to also co-sponsor Brisbane Dance Workshop, Live at Mission Blue, and the SF Shakespeare Event, hosted by the Brisbane Women's Club each Fall. And of course, if you prefer the outdoors and live music, then look no further than the annual Concerts in the Park and the Day in the Park/Derby Races, which take place in the late summer months and on the first Saturday in October, respectively.
As a tight-knit community of about 3,500 people, Brisbane is a great place to raise children. The community is committed to excellence in education for children of all ages. The City is active in encouraging schooling. At the preschool level, there is a preschool that the City's Parks and Recreation Department manages. It's located in Brisbane Elementary School. Additionally, Silverspot Cooperative Nursery School is in a City owned building with a public playground - known as the Silverspot Tot Lot. The Brisbane School District governs three schools: two elementary schools and one middle school. Brisbane Elementary and Lipman Middle School are located in Brisbane; Panorama Elementary is in Daly City.

Good morning. Today is Friday, the 96th day of the 105-day session.
With 10 days left of the regular session, members of both the House and Senate introduced a slew of bills to end some tax preferences in order to pay for state services. Tax exemptions targeted in the proposals include those for nonresidents, chicken bedding and large banks.
Top Republican lawmakers have introduced a bill aimed at generating revenue by privatizing Washington's wholesale liquor distribution.
The measure would establish a competitive bidding process for the right to handle the distribution side of the state-run liquor business. The winner would pay the state an undetermined up-front sum, followed by profit-sharing over the course of the contract.
House lawmakers on Saturday approved their version of the next two-year budget, which includes a liquor privatization plan.
The Senate bill now goes to the Ways and Means Committee.
The Senate approved House amendments to Senate Bill 5000, which would require a 12-hour impound on vehicles belonging to people who are arrested on suspicion of driving drunk, sending it to the governor.
The House concurred with Senate amendments on House Bill 1789, a proposal to expand the number of people who have to get ignition interlock devices for their cars. That bill also goes to the governor.
Gov. Chris Gregoire signed several bills into law, including House Bill 1489, which limits when and where people can use lawn fertilizer that contains phosphorus, and House Bill 1172, which will allow some farmers markets to have beer and wine tasting.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to vote on the Senate budget proposal that lawmakers unveiled Tuesday.
The Senate Committee on Health and Long Term Care is scheduled to vote on Senate Bill 5926, which would put a proposal on the ballot to pay for in-home Medicaid services by repealing a sales-tax exemption for some out-of-state residents.
The House Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to vote Senate Bill 5119, which would cancel the 2012 presidential primary, and Senate Bill 5907, a proposal to enact some prison safety recommendations that came from a review of the killing of a guard at Monroe Correctional Complex in January.
The Evergreen Freedom Foundation, as well as a tea party group and a progressive group called Fuse Washington, have scheduled competing "tax day" rallies on the Capitol Campus, with one side calling for less state spending and the other asking for fewer cuts.

Vertu, a company that has been synonymous with luxury smartphones priced into the thousands of dollars, has seen its final days.
FT reports that, following the purchase of Vertu by Murat Hakan Uzan in March of this year, the company is being liquidated. That means that 200 jobs will be lost after a prominent attempt by the company to save itself by slashing prices of its smartphones quite a bit.
The report says that after Uzan purchased Vertu, he discovered that the company had an accounting deficit of £128 million. While Uzan did attempt to buy back the company before it was officially put into administration, it was ultimately unsuccessful.
Uzan will hold onto the Vertu brand along with its design licenses and technologies, and it's said that he plans on trying to rebuild the Vertu name at some point in the future.
Vertu has been a name that's been around since 1998 back when it was a part of Nokia, but it has always dealt in super luxury handsets that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Those handsets were typically wrapped in leather and clad with jewels and other high-end components. Vertu has reportedly sold half a million devices since its inception which, despite the length of time, is still noteworthy considering the high prices of the devices.
Have you ever seen a Vertu phone in the wild?

Stolen safe
A woman in the 2400 block of Second Avenue West called 911 on April 10 after returning home to find her home had been broken into.
She said she'd left home at about 7 p.m. and gotten a notification on her phone from her alarm company of an alarm break at her home at 9:44 p.m. She returned home and found her back door ajar and her 100-pound safe missing.
Police arrived and searched the home. The master bedroom appeared to have been rifled through, but the victim said nothing was missing from it.
There was a fresh chip mark on the wall near the back door landing, leading police to believe the burglar dropped the safe while carrying it.
The victim told police her back door was closed, but it's possible that she left it unlocked.
The contents of the safe included several pieces of jewelry.
Unlocked window
On April 10 at 9:25 p.m., police responded to a home in the 2500 block of Queen Anne Avenue North to investigate a possible burglary in progress.
The homeowner had called 911 and stated that she thought a burglar was possibly still inside and that she saw wet footprints in the kitchen. She hadn't seen anybody inside the home.
The victim said she returned home around 9:20 p.m. and entered through the front door. She noticed some of the doors on the cabinets were open but didn't immediately realize there had been a burglary.
When she went into the kitchen she noticed that the rear door was slightly open, and then she saw a wet footprint on a bench underneath a kitchen window. She ran out of the home and called 911.
Responding police officers checked the inside of the home and didn't find anyone.
The victim told police the dresser drawers in her bedroom were open and her jewelry box had been emptied out. She said three pairs of earrings were taken, which she estimated to be worth $950.
Police determined that the burglar had likely entered through the kitchen window. The exterior window screen had been removed and was found propped up against an outside wall. The kitchen window was free of pry marks. The victim told police she wasn't sure if she'd locked the window.
Police checked several surfaces for fingerprints, including the sliding door, the jewelry box and the kitchen window, but were unable to locate any.
At 9:21 a.m. on April 14, the general manager of the Interbay Golf Center, in the 2500 block of 15th Avenue West, called 911 to report a burglary. He stated that a weed whacker was stolen from a garage in the maintenance area.
The weed whacker was stolen sometime in the previous two days.
Alarm break
On April 11 at 3:34 a.m., police were dispatched to a business in the 1900 block of Queen Anne Avenue North in response to a call from an alarm company reporting an alarm had been tripped inside the business.
The responding officer found all the doors and windows secured and no signs of a burglary inside.
At 10:11 a.m. the same morning, the same police officer was dispatched to investigate a complaint of a burglary at the same address. Employees stated that when they arrived, they found that the cash register till and money were missing. The till contained $59 in small bills and change.
There was no sign of forced entry.
The alarm company told the employees a motion alarm went off at 3:32 a.m. and the front door alarm went off at 3:38 a.m. The doors were secured when the employees left the previous evening and when arrived that morning. No other area alarms were tripped, and no merchandise was taken.
Later in the day, a homeowner in the 2200 block of Second Avenue North called police to report he found a till in his yard. Police retrieved the till and returned it to the business, where employees identified it as belonging to the business. A partial fingerprint was found on the bottom of the till.
Unwanted guest
On April 13 at 10 p.m., police responded to a burglary at a building in the 1200 block of Dexter Avenue North.
The victim told police that when he'd left for work at 8 a.m. his front door was closed and locked, but he wasn't sure if the back door was.
When he arrived home at 1 p.m., he noticed the front door was ajar. He went inside and didn't see anybody, but he saw the back door was unlocked but closed.
The victim reported multiple items stolen from his apartment.
He asked his building's management to check security video for the possible burglar. They reported seeing a suspicious-looking individual who followed vehicles into the building's garage at 7 a.m.
Responding police found a fingerprint on a box that was possibly handled by the burglar.

Have you already signed your Java applets with a trusted authority certificate? You know you will have to.
Why sign?
This is supposed to provide "numerous security benefits to users", according to Oracle. Indeed, if someone used to just visit a "get-rich-quick" site, and to unknowingly start a hidden malicious Java applet, now they will have to confirm that that they knowingly agree to start an applet provided by officially registered "get-rich-quick Pty Limited".
As for you and me, as publishers of Java applets, how will it protect our good names? Well, the bad guys will not be able intercept our software and add their viruses to it – unless they want to use their own certificate to sign it with. This is the code repurposing which Oracle aims to prevent. One can argue that the same could be achieved by simply requiring the applets to be delivered only via secured protocol. And it would be cheaper too, for us. Some people even are questioning if all this exercise with certificates can achieve much at all…
Oracle used to tell us that "For applets and JNLP applications the best approach is often to leave the jar files unsigned. The application then runs in a sandbox and will not be able to execute any potentially dangerous code" in its Secure Coding Guidelines. Well, no more…
But for now, while you are busy collecting documents for the trusted authority to sell you the code signing certificate, why not have some fun, and see if we can deploy a Java application without help of Java Web Start. No, it won't work for applets – which are interacting with browser DOM model. But if the purpose is to deliver a Java desktop application via Web, and to make sure it is automatically updated (even pass parameters to it – though we will not go into such details in this post), you can deliver it via… a .NET wrapper. Microsoft ClickOnce technology allows a .NET application to be deployed without security limitations, using a self-signed security certificate – and we will be able to start our Java application, deployed as part of it, bypassing Java deployment mechanisms. Of cause, only Windows users will be able to run it.
Creating .NET wrapper
So let's start. We will use a small Java Swing application, consisting of one main class; it also uses a few libraries, to demonstrate application packaging. Here is how the project looks in NetBeans:
When started, it should show a small screen, where you can explorer some Swing controls in different Swing Look and Feel.
To create the .NET wrapper, we will need Microsoft Visual Studio (a C# Express edition will do). We will create a new project, called
SampleLauncher, of type "WPF Application".
When project is created, a WPF Window called
MainWindow will be open in the editor. This is the only component we need: it will show when the launcher is started from the Web page, while we start the Java application in the background. Since we just need to show some message there, we replace the XAML code in the editor with the following:
<Window x:Class="SampleLauncher.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Application Launcher" Width="500" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" SizeToContent="Height"> <Grid>  </Grid> </Window>
Now we need to add our Java application to the project. Save the project to a new disk folder, using "
Save All" command (uncheck "
Create Directory for solution" option). Outside of VS IDE, copy the Java distribution directory, which contains the jar files, to the .NET project, next to source files. You can delete
README.TXT file. Return to IDE, select the project, and select "
Show All Files" option:
You should see the folder you added. Right-click it, and select "
Include in Project" command. Expand the folder, and choosing each of jar files, change its options so that the file will be copied to the .NET application. When the application starts, the jar files will be present in the program folder.
Next step will be to make WPF application to start our Java program. We will add these steps to the program logic: checking that
java command is available, verifying the Java version, and executing the program. For this, expand the
MainWindow.xaml node, and double-click
MainWindow.xaml.cs to open it in the editor. Replace the file contents with the following code:
using System; using System.Windows; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Diagnostics; namespace SampleLauncher { ///  /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml ///  public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); BackgroundWorker javaLaunchWorker = new BackgroundWorker(); javaLaunchWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(javaLaunchWorker_DoWork); javaLaunchWorker.RunWorkerCompleted +=new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(javaLaunchWorker_RunWorkerCompleted); javaLaunchWorker.RunWorkerAsync(); } private void javaLaunchWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) { // 1) check Java version Process versionProc = new Process(); // Redirect the output stream of the child process. versionProc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; versionProc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; versionProc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; versionProc.StartInfo.FileName = "javaw"; versionProc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-version"; versionProc.Start(); string output = versionProc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); string error = versionProc.StandardError.ReadToEnd(); versionProc.WaitForExit(); // let's see what was the result string sVersion = extractVersion(output); if (sVersion == null) sVersion = extractVersion(error); // result will only be a string - if there is an error to report if (sVersion == null) { e.Result = "Failed to find correct Java version: " + error; return; } if (!(sVersion.StartsWith("1.7") || sVersion.StartsWith("1.8"))) { e.Result = "Only Java version 7 and 8 are supported, not " + sVersion; return; } // 2) now we know that java is installed and has correct version. Start the program Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; p.StartInfo.FileName = "javaw"; p.StartInfo.Arguments = "-jar dist/SampleApp.jar"; p.Start(); bool ended = p.WaitForExit(5000); if (ended) { error = p.StandardError.ReadToEnd(); if (error.Length > 0) e.Result = error; } } void javaLaunchWorker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e) { if (e.Error != null) msgLabel.Content = e.Error.Message; // exceptions in logic else if (e.Result != null) msgLabel.Content = e.Result; // our error message else this.Close(); // will finish WPF application } ///  /// Extracts Java version from "java -version" output. ///  /// <param name="text">not null</param> /// <returns>null if not found</returns> string extractVersion(String text) { int from = text.IndexOf('"'); if (from < 0) return null; string next = text.Substring(from + 1); int to = next.IndexOf('"'); if (to < 0) return null; return next.Substring(0, to); } } }
Of cause is not a production code – just our funny little exercise. But if you run the application from the IDE, you should see this small screen popping up for a few seconds, after which the Java application should start, and .NET application stop.
Deploying via Web Start
We will deploy our WPF application in two steps: we prepare all binary files on a local file system, and then deploy them to the web server. And the steps will be made a simple as possible, for this demo.
To start, right-click the project item in the VS IDE, and select "
Properties". First of all, we will change application security settings, by choosing the options as shown at this screen: choosing
Full Trust application.
Next, we will change the deployment options, on
Publish tab.
Publishing Folder Location will be a local file system directory of your choice. But
Installation Folder URL should be the URL where the published application should be found on your web site. And we will choose the
offline option.
On the same page, we will click
Updates... button, and specify that application should check for updates before launching:
At last, back on
Publish page, we can run create the files we need to deploy, by clicking the
Publish Now button. (It may try to open the URL in the browser – do not worry about it).
The last step is to transfer the files from local file system directory to the web server, and to provide the web UI for starting the application.
You need to transfer entire contents of the local directory to the server location which maps to the deployment URL you specified in the deployment options. The server directory will have two files, and several sub-directories. Sub-directory name includes the version of WPF application, automatically incremented each time you prepare deployment files.
Unless your web site runs on Microsoft IIS web server, you also need to make sure that your web server maps file extension
application to mime-type of
application/x-ms-application. Now, all you need to do to start the PWF application – and your Java Swing application – from browser, is to provide a link on some page, pointing to the .application file:
Start it
You can try the demo we prepared on our site
And so what?
So what was the purpose of this exercise? No, we do not suggest you actually use it. It just a demonstration of security restrictions, placed by different technologies on web delivery of binary content.
Did we compromise the new Java security model – a correct model, but quite expensive for developers? No, we just switched to a different model, one which allows users to run a code delivered via web, and signed with a self-signed security certificate.

I'm going to try...I promise.
Okay, I know, I never post anymore...but honestly, I don't feel like I have anything good to say. Then again, who says what I say has to be good, right?
Okay, so what's up with me lately? NOTHING! But, I am still working on my masters and that takes more time than I'd like to admit. Oh yeah, I signed up to take the LSAT - we'll see how that goes. Going to law school? It all depends on my LSAT score. Like I said, we'll see. All I do know is that I have wanted to be a lawyer for as long as I can remember, so why the heck not, right? I checked and you can work on your JD and MBA at the same time - I'm thinking I'll do that since I'm a little more than half way done with my MBA.
Oh yeah, remember how Koko used to have seizures? Well, when I took her to University of Missouri Vet School, they diagnosed her with Canine Epilepsy and put her on Potassium Bromide - and guess what!!! She hasn't had a seizure since!!! I've never been happier.
I haven't done anythign significant to the house since I got the siding in January - oh wait, I did a little landscaping makeover (okay, okay, so my parents did most of it). I'm loving the way it looks.
Ummm...honestly, I can't think of anything else to say, so I'll try to be back later.

H & H Multimedia currently offers two sizes in digital download images:
Low resolution images are only meant to be used on the web for such things as Facebook cover pages and other social media photo galleries. NOTE: Low resolution images ARE NOT of high enough resolution for you to save them as your desktop background or wallpaper for your computer -- if you do this, they will most likely appear blurry or pixelated.
High resolution digital download images are of the orginal resolutino of th photograph. These images are suitable for printing and are usable as your computer desktop background image (when set to "Fit").
Though these images are more than good enough to have large prints made of, we urge you to use our third-party provider namd Mpix, they are simply the best and when you see your prints from these good folks, you'll never go back to your local retailer again for custom prints... Sandy and I used Mpix to purchase some of our personal photographs and we were so amazed that we would not send another print anywhere to be made! Read our our customer testimonials to believe it!
Team/Group Photos
You will notice that our digital downloads for team/group images are a bit more expensive than indiviual or player iso(lated) images. The reason for ths is that we know if one person purchases a digital download of a team photo, they'll likely send electronic copies of it to the rest of the team. Prints of Team/Group images, however, are the same price as individual player iso print images. While we are can coy prints (which you are officially not allowed to do) the quality of the duplicate prints is usually not that great.

Hello Bootsmom,
You could turn off the thumbnial previews to not have copies of the files showing in the folder like that if that is what you meant.
Hope this helps,

hi Brink, thanks for your reply.
I don't have thumbnails enabled in Explorer, that's just a screenshot I made of some folders on my desktop to show that they are open, not closed....I want 'em closed. They WERE, and then somehow mysteriously they are now open.
|My System Specs
|22 Apr 2011
In Vista and Windows 7, the folder icons do not display as closed as they did in XP. The folders in your screenshot are folders with thumbnail previews enabled. If you disable thumbnail previews, then the folders will look like this afterwards instead.
If you really wanted to have them display as a closed folder, you could use either tutorial below to change the default folder icon to use a closed folder icon that you downloaded from somewhere instead.

well thanks anyway Brink...
As per your instructions, I double checked and I do NOT have thumbnails selected *sigh* I have 'details' selected. I never use thumbnails.
I'm afraid the rest of your instructions are beyond my capabilities, I guess I'm just stuck with those ugly open folders.
fyi, I just got a new monitor and the folders were NOT open like that 3 days ago. This theme I'm using now with the new monitor is the same theme I used 5 days ago before my previous monitor died. Folders were closed...
anyway thanks for your time/trouble and Happy Easter to you.

It's no trouble. :)
Be sure to double check in each OPTION section in the tutorial below to make sure that thumbnails were disabled or turned off in each one. Sometimes one option will override another.

I found the culprit, option two "Visual Effects":
A) Uncheck Show thumbnails instead of icons, then click on OK.

thanks again for your help Brink
|My System Specs
|22 Apr 2011
You're most welcome. :)
Well, if you feel up to it since you have thumbnails turned off, you could use OPTION ONE with either one of the paths for step 8 below to have one of the icons below for your folders instead. It's not to hard to do if you follow it step by step.

thank you again Brink... and now, for yet ANOTHER aha moment...
I discovered with thumbnails turned off in performance options, I was unable to view all the pix in a folder (all I saw was icons instead - DUH @ me). I reasoned out that I didn't want that, so I went back to the aforementioned performance options/visual effects tab and selected 'show thumbnails instead of icons'. No flies on me!
In previous posts on this topic, I didn't understand the implications of that setting and now I do....so I will just have to get used to the open desktop folders... much as I have to get used to a new monitor that is 20 inches wide x 11 inches high....and I'm farsighted LOL.

Kenya has restricted all refugees on its soil to two designated camps in the wake of a weekend attack on a church near Mombasa that claimed six lives.
Kenyans were asked to report any refugees or illegal immigrants outside the overcrowded camps Dadaab in the east and Kakuma in the northwest to the police.
"Any refugee found flouting this directive will be dealt with in accordance with the law," Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said in a statement.
The minister's directive came after Sunday's attack in the Likoni district near Mombasa. There had been heightened warnings of a threat of Islamist violence in Kenya.
The latest attack in Kenya came just days after police arrested two men with a vehicle stashed full of large quantities of powerful explosives prepared in pipe bombs. Experts said the improvised explosives would have been strong enough to bring down a major building and cause massive civilian casualties.
Ole Lenku said 500 extra police would be deployed in the capital Nairobi as well as Mombasa, Kenya's second city. Refugee registration centers in main cities will be closed, the statement said.
UNHCR talking to government
UN agency for refugees, UNHCR, has expressed optimism that the ongoing consultations with the Kenyan government and other stakeholders on the issue of refugees will be conducted in a manner that respects the refugees' rights.
Emmanuel Nyabera, the spokesperson for UNHCR in Kenya, told DW that they are negotiating with the government to ensure that everything is done in the right way.
"We want to make sure that at the end of the day we will take care of the interests of the refugees and the people of Kenya," said Nyabera, "we also want to thank the people of Kenya for the support they have given us all this time."
"There's no crisis here, the Kenyan government has supported the refugees for more than thirty years and we appreciate that."
Pressed on whether the UN had any contingency plans in case the government hurriedly put into action the order, even though the said negotiations are on going, Nyabera refrained from speculating on the impact it would have on the refugees.
"In case of any eventualities we will sit with the government and assess the situation in the camps and look at the capacity for us to absorb the number of people coming in and ensure that protection of refugees is consistent with the international law," Nyabera concluded.
Dire conditions in the camps
Dadaab, where people often live in appalling conditions, is home to more than 400,000 mainly Somali refugees while Kakuma, a vast desert settlement, is home to more than 125,000 refugees from across the region, including Somalia.
The country had previously ordered all asylum seekers and refugees to report to the Dadaab and Kakuma camps in December 2012, after a spate of attacks in the northeast and in Nairobi that included several blasts in the capital's largely ethnic-Somali Eastleigh neighborhood.
Somalia is still engulfed in conflict but some areas are more stable. A 17,000-strong African Union force including Kenyan troops has managed to wrest a series of towns from the al-Shabab in recent years.
Kenya has been hit by a series of attacks since sending troops into southern Somalia in October 2011 to battle the Al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab insurgents.
Somali refugees in Kenya should only return home voluntarily. That warning from the UN refugee agency came one day after it had signed a deal with Kenya and Somalia on the repatriation of half a million people. (11.11.2013)
Kenya has ordered all refugees to leave towns and cities and live in camps, in a reponse to terror attacks linked to its support for government forces in Somalia. (19.12.2012)

Medieval Times Dinner Show, FloridaReviewing: Medieval Times Kissimmee, Florida | Rating:
We decided to check this out. It was fun but I do not think we would do it again.
This is a dinner show, the food is basic, soup, chicken, potato garlic bread, etc. One thing to mention is there are no utensils! That's right you have to eat with your hands and drink your soup out of the bowl, just like back in the Medieval Times. My son thought all this was cool since he does not get to eat like that at home.
Of course the main thing about this place is the entertainment. Although the food was just average, the entertainment was great.
I thought the horses were gorgeous and looked so well taken care of. Our family loved the jousting part. We all had a good time cheering for our knight. The fight scenes were a little bit on the cheesy side, but it was all in good fun and the crowd really gets into it. It does get very loud in this place.
Make sure you get here a little early so you can look through the town. It has a lot of interesting Medieval artifacts. There's also a gift shop with a lot of Medieval theme gifts.
I did enjoy the show and it was a lot of fun, but I honestly do not think we will be going back anytime soon. Once seems to be enough for me.
If you are into Medieval type stuff I do think you will enjoy this dinner show. It's not high class but it's a lot of fun

Quote from The Stunning Designs of Swivel Chair for Living Room :
Furthermore, the swivel chair can be divided into two different designs which are the swivel office chair and the Draughtsman's chair.

Native Americans have always professed being caretakers of their ancestral lands, even in these times of
colonialization, we see ourselves as the first environmentalist/friends of the earth. In more cases than not our ancestral
lands have been abused, destroyed and desecrated. These disrespectful acts or
contemptuous treatment of our lands, which is held to be sacred by our people, are often times over looked by many developers.
Archeologist/Anthropologist/Contractors/workers and
unsanctioned monitors are compromised or paid to look the other way. We are hoping with education that what is left of our
ancestral lands that a mutual understanding can be achieved, that no one has the right to destroy history, a history that
should be shared by all. We recognize that the legacy, the unwritten stories, lies in grounds of our Mother Earth. This is
our history and must be protected for future generations.
recommend contacting, Chief Anthony Morales and or son Adrian, they are our tribal monitors when
any kind of development is going on anywhere in the Los Angeles Basin, which includes the Palos Verdes Peninsula and
4 sacred islands (Catalina Is., San Clemente Is., Santa Barbara Is., San Nicolas Is.), which is our Ancestral Lands.
Especially if any kind of indication of a potential sacred sites, such as burial grounds or artifacts may be found. The tribal
monitors work with, but not limited to, archeologists and the developers for the best possible outcome. The only sanctioned
tribal monitors are from tribe-Tongva/Gabrieleno of the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians. They are the only recognized
tribe by the courts of Los Angeles and the State of California of the Los Angeles Basin and are also registered with the State
of California's Heritage Commission.
We pray and support people
such as Gary Johnson, who has the heart, understanding and concern for what is sacred. Gary has incredible story and relationship
with this area. We ask all people to join us as caretakers in this collaborative effort, to be vigilant, we ask the creator
to help us in this quest.
In 2005, avocational archaeologist,
Gary Johnson, discovered an unrecorded Native American site in Rolling Hills Estates on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Once he realized that this large site was a significant
discovery, he contacted professional archaeologist, Carl Lipo from California State University at Long Beach, to verify his
findings and assist him in recording the site into the archaeological record. The site, recorded in 2009, is now designated as CA-LAN-3863, also known as Thunderhawk Hill.
Cultural resources discovered at the site include stone
choppers, scrappers and projectile points. It has been estimated that 99 % of the raw materials used to make these tools came from local sources. Objects recovered include several varieties
of local chert, sandstone, quartz, flint, soapstone, river rock and imported obsidian from the Coso Volcanic Field. Obsidian
was hydration tested and was dated to approximately 3000 BCE.
Local tribal leaders have also been contacted and they have verified that
the location is an historic Tongva habitation area, and they support future scientific research at this site. CA-LAN-3863 is located on Palos Verdes Land Conservancy
property and they are aware of the recent findings and they too support further research.
Mr. Johnson has now focused his attention on another parcel in Rolling
Hills Estates where development, which includes 114 new single family homes, a reconfigured
18-hole golf course, and a new approximately 61,000 square foot clubhouse and related facilities are planned. The 225.5-acre project site is located on the existing
sites of the Chandler Quarry and Rolling Hills Country Club (26311 and 27000 Palos Verdes Drive East) in the northeasterly
portion of the City of Rolling Hills Estates. The proposed development is located adjacent to CA-LAN-3863.
As the plans for the Rolling Hills Country Club/Chandler
Quarry site moved forward, McKenna et al of Whittier were hired and they conducted an EIR in 2006. The public
comment period for the draft EIR commenced on May 1, 2009 and ended on June 30, 2009. Their report acknowledges that human remains were discovered
in the proposed project area and were reported by D.L. True in 1960. Upon conducting a phase II investigation of the area where human remains were reported, the following
statement was written in the EIR.
According to the Phase II testing program conducted by
McKenna et al., the site appears to have been inaccurately mapped. However, although the site does not exist at its reported
location, it may exist within the confines of the immediate area. Mitigation Measure CULT-1 should be implemented to ensure
that no impacts to human remains interred in informal burial grounds occur.
suggests that an archaeological monitor and a Native American monitor work on site when the development gets under way to
ensure that human remains are properly documented if found. Ultimately, McKenna's recommendation in the report regarding the disturbance of human remains in the project
area was, " Less than significant with the incorporation of mitigation measures."
Mr. Johnson is concerned, that at the time
that the EIR was written the existence of CA-LAN-3863 was unknown to McKenna et al, and that this company did not fully investigate
the existence of human remains on the Rolling Hills Country Club/Chandler Quarry project site. Mr. Johnson and members of the Tongva tribe, would like to see the area
reinvestigated as they are concerned that appropriate testing procedures were not conducted by McKenna et al in areas where
human remains are likely to be found.

Peppercress Aioli
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I fell in love with peppercress in my days as a farmer in Bolinas. It's so spicy! When I was working out in the fields and I needed a snack, this is what I would reach for first. We joked that we should keep tiny bottles of olive oil in our pockets to go with all the greens we snacked on.
Peppercress makes me nostalgic for my time on the farm, so I try to use it wherever I can. Today I had this sauce over leftover roasted potatoes, hard boiled eggs, blanched sugar snap peas, and watermelon radishes. It was perfect. —linzarella
Makes: about 1/2 cup
large handfull peppercress
cloves garlic, peeled
salt, to taste
zest from 1 lemon
cup mayonaise
tablespoons plain whole milk yogurt
- Chop the peppercress very fine, and set aside.
- Mince the garlic, and midway through sprinkle salt over it and continue mincing. Then add the lemon zest and mince it all together until it reaches a paste-like consistency.
- Put the peppercress and garlic mixture into a bowl, and add the mayonaise and yogurt. Mix well, and adjust salt if needed.

Sushi Dress
Added May 17, 2014
Murfreesboro, Te...
Even though I can draft my own patterns, I do like to use commercial patterns for quick, painless projects. I slightly altered a McCall's pattern for this dress (but can you believe they added 4" of ease to a dress with so many princess seams?). Originally, the sleeves had a pleat that you were suppose to cover with a decorative button, but it cut off the circulation to my arm, so I removed the pleat. Of course, I had decided to do a decorative stitch hem, so ripping those stitches was a pain! However, I am crazy pleased with the outcome. I've just purchased some galaxy print fabric to make another one of these.
Material Notes
3 1/2 yards fabric, zipper, interfacing, hem tape

I just made a dress using the red version of this fabric… but only for the sleeves/collar/tie belt. Now you've got me wishing I made the whole dress out of that fabric. So cute!

Old-School Boll Returns! 'Bloodrayne 3', 'Blubberella' Trailers
For a while it seemed like we had lost the good doctor to message movies and dramas (Darfur, Auschwitz, Tunnel Rats), but fear not! Uwe Boll is still making the sort of schlock we love him for, and we got the trailers to prove it. First up is Bloodrayne: The Third Reich, which finds Natassia Malthe returning as Rayne, fighting Nazis (who are also vampires, I hope?) during World War II. Then, the one everyone is eagerly awaiting, Blubberella, about the world's first fat female superhero (featuring the already legendary tagline: "She will kick major ass – with her major ass"). Both films feature Boll regular Michael Paré, though Blubberella clearly has the advantage as Boll himself appears in front of the camera. The always busy Boll is already in pre-production on Bennie, a horror thriller that is NOT based on a game. In fact, apart from sequels, it appears he has ditched the whole video game adaptation genre – his last one was Far Cry, which was ten films ago! Check below for the trailers!
