" Brand: Kenwood / Type: Hand Mixer / Colour: Black "
* Prices may differ from that shown
My daughter and me have started to do quite a lot of baking recently and were really struggling without a mixer as I only had a hand one. I decided to splash out and get one!
I bought the mixer online just to save myself the hassle of having to trail into town to get one. I paid £25 and chose the white one. I believe it is available in other colors but I thought the white one looked the best and went well with my kitchen.
The mixer is a 250 watt model which I thought would be more than enough for what we needed.
When we opened the mixer it is very simple to put together and use it comes ready to use the plug etc is attached and you simply just have to put on the attachment.
The mixer has 3 settings high, medium and low the high one is probably faster than you would ever need I certainly have never really used it other than to test it.
The mixer has some attachments with it too which are for beating eggs and also a spiral attachment. We have used both of these now and have done quite a bit of baking. We have even made our own bread, this is what we used the spiral mixer for.
My little girl was a bit scared of using it at first because it does make quite a bit of noise but she is used to it now and has no problems.
The great thing about the mixer is that the attachments can be put in the dishwasher so you don't have to spend ages cleaning it out. I then just give the main section a wipe over and store it away till the next time.
The different attachments are easy to put on you just push them up into the holes and then you are ready to go.
I would definitely recommend this mixer it has been ideal for what we need and we have used it loads without any problems it's a must have for any busy kitchen!
I was very surprised to find this Kenwood mixer for 25.99 at Argos a good while back, as I had come to think that all products from Kenwood would be very expensive, simply beacuse Kenwood is a very trustworthy, quality brand, and quality equals high cost, doesn`t it? Anyway, I bought this handmixer so that I more easily could indulge in making cake and pancake batters, whipping cream and all of those small jobs in the kitchen that is just too much of a job to do by hand...
This handmixer comes with two different attachments, the standard egg beater and spiral looking device... These both come in handy and I use them a lot, and so far, I haven`t experienced any trouble when washing them in the dishwasher, which let`s face it, is a big plus! The mixer has also three standard settings, slow, medium and fast, and I usely go with the medium setting, as the fast one is a bit too fast for the work I usely do! There`s no denying that the mixer can be a bit noisy at times, but I don`t think that you will ever find a handmixer that won`t make a single sound... This is a 250 w mixer, which translates into it being very powerful, perhaps a bit more powerful than I need, but that`s not an issue. I usually wash the mixer itself with a wet cloth or paper, and the attachments either in boiling hot water or in the dishwasher, washing it by hand is probably the smartest thing to do though I haven`t had any problems when washing it in the dishwasher.
This is a great mixer of very solid and sturdy quality, it`s easy to use and looks modern and stylish! I absolutely give this mixer a full score, no doubt!
Last Fathers' Day, my boys decided to treat Daddy to a hand mixer so that he could whisk their Angel Delights without lumps! A quick visit to the Argos website led me to purchase the Kenwood HM324, partly because it was on offer for below £20 (from the RRP of £27.99.) I also thought the design and colouring looked suitably neutral and unisex for the 'man about the kitchen'.
After reserving online, I was very pleased with my decision. The body of the mixer is predominantly black and grey which co-ordinates well with the stainless steel attachments and gives the mixer something of an expensive appearance. The weight and build quality are reassuringly solid, without being too heavy, giving this a sturdy feel when in use and reducing the sensation of any vibrations during mixing.
The two metal beaters click easily and securely into position, without any worries that they are going to fly off halfway through the mixing process. This also came supplied with two dough hooks, for more adventurous cooks. The release button is simple to operate and a firm push ensures that both beaters neatly ping out after use. The attachments are all dishwasher proof and, through sheer laziness, I always pop the beaters in the dishwasher after use with no ill effects thus far.
The mixer is extremely straightforward to use with a built-in handle at the top, logically positioned for comfort, control and ease of use. The gap is decently proportioned so both I and my husband, with his larger hands, feel comfortable using this. The cord length is certainly more than adequate, giving enough room for manoeuvring around the edges of a bowl without having to be uncomfortably close to the plug socket. The three speed settings are easy to switch between, using a single sliding dial. I find that I rarely need to go beyond the middle setting anyway, certainly for the basic uses in our household - mainly simple batters, cake mixes and Angel Delights! Having a 250 watt motor, there is some noise during use but this is certainly bearable for short periods.
After use, the main body of the mixer wipes down incredibly easily, thanks to its shiny exterior. If things have been allowed to dry and set, of course, this becomes slightly more difficult. The mixer is also cleverly shaped to allow the cord to wrap firmly around the mixer after use, for ease of storage. This is so straightforward that even a man can use it and tidy up after himself!
As a basic kitchen tool to be used for simple tasks, this is a very reasonable purchase - even more so at its current sale price of £18.59 from Argos. Its stylish colour scheme, decent build quality and ease of use make this is a practical kitchen essential and one that I'm happy to recommend. Now Daddy can make lump-free Angel Delight too!
A few months ago I entered into a "bake-off" at work, then promptly realised I didn't have a mixer, or processor of any kind at my current abode it was all in storage at my mums, so off I took myself to Waitrose to purchase a hand mixer to tide me over. The HM324 is avaible in black, with the HM320 being (I believe) the same version in white, which is slightly cheaper.
**Price and where to buy**
I paid around the £25 mark for this mixer, at the time I thought it was extortionate, and now I still think its extortionate however a quick glance at the web and the cheapest I have found is Argos at £27.99, so maybe I bagged myself a mini bargain, the mixer in white is coming in cheaper starting from £23. I personally prefer the black appliance as I think the white looks a little bit cheap.
The mixer is available from all good department stores, online at the likes of Argos. Strangely it is NOT available on the kenwood website, I presume this is because they are promoting their newest hand mixers and update accordingly.
**Settings, appliances and noise**
The mixer comes with 2 different attachments, the standard "egg beater" attachment and the 2 spiral shaped attachments. I have only ever used the egg beater attachment, though I think that the spirals can be used to make bread dough, which would make sense and actually I am inspired to attempt that tomorrow....but I digress....the attachments are easy to attach to the body of the mixer, you simply push them into the holes and turn slightly. I have no problems with them not being attached fully and falling off halfway through, they are very secure.
The mixer is 250 watt, so it is powerful, though I probably couldn't tell you the difference between a 200W and a 250W, I just know that my mixer is powerful enough to beat what I want it to beat!! The mixer has 3 settings, slow, medium and fast. I find even the slow to be quite fast, but I am comparing that to beating by hand. You can sense a definite difference as you work up through the speeds and the mixer vibrates quite heavily in your hand when you are on the fastest setting so I would say this hand mixer is not the way forward if you have weak wrists. It is not heavy to hold and move about, its just the vibration through your hand and arm that threw me the first few things I used it!
The noise, mixers are noisy, there is no getting round that. This mixer is no different, with the noise level increasing as the settings are higher, it reminds me of a plane revving up to take off!
**Cleaning and Storage**
I must confess I am lazy, my mixer will stretch to the sink so I stretch it over and put the attachment in the water and switch the blender on for a minute or so, this gets the worst of whatever I have been mixing off. Following that, I simply de-attach the beaters by pressing the grey button on the top of the mixer and they pop out of the holes. I then wash as normal in the sink, though they are dishwasher proof if that is your preffered method of cleaning. The mixer, I wipe over with a damp cloth.
Storage, I simply store in the cupboard with the attachments in the cutlery draw as I threw out the plastic storage holder by accident. The cord wraps neatly round the mixer and it really takes up little room in the cupboard.
Lovely little mixer, and if other reviews are anything to go buy it looks as though this is one purchase I will not have to re-make as the kenwood mixers are highly durable, mines lasted well for the last 2 months and I am confident that it will last into the future!
As I've gotten older I've become a lot more adventurous in the kitchen, with baking being one of my favourite hobbies. I love baking cakes and pastries for friends and family; for special ocassions and even not so special ocassions and one of the things I have always felt a need for was a proper electric hand mixer. In my house we have manual ones where you turn the handle and the whisking blades rotate but this can be very time consuming and also quite tiresome so at the beginning of this year I decided it would be a good idea for me to invest in my very own electric hand mixer and after much searching and umming and ahing over price I settled for the Kenwood HM324 hand mixer.
***About the kenwood HM324 hand mixer***
The hand mixer I chose is quite simple in its design with a black body and stainless steel attachments, but what swung it for me was the fact that it came with both a set of beaters and a set of kneaders. I don't really make bread but I thought having kneaders as one of the included attachments may inspire me to start. The mixer has 3 different speed settings which are easily identified as speeds 1, 2 and 3 and the stainless steel attachments are dishwasher safe for ease of cleaning.
***Using the Kenwood HM324 hand mixer***
The mixer is very easy to use. On the underside of the body are 2 holes where the tools slot into, one which is completely circular and another that looks a little like a 3 quarter moon. Once the beaters or the kneaders are pushed in there is an automatic locking mechanism that holds them in place to prevent them from popping out during use. Even when plugged in the hand mixer cannot be used and will not operate until the tools are clicked into place so there's no risk of little fingers being popped in the holes and the unit starting to work so it is quite safe in that resepect. To start using, the first step is to insert the tools into the appropriate slots, then plug the unit into a wall socket. To start mixing there is a button located on the top of the body which although not marked with any instructions has the speed settings 1,2,3, clearly visible; simply push this button forward to start the beaters or kneaders rotating.
I always start the mixer on setting one and then as the mixture gets thicker up the speed to setting 2 and then setting 3 if required, but to be honest I don't find that I need to use setting 3 that often and get excellent results from speeds 1 and 2. Mixing butter and sugar together to form a light and fluffy mixture takes around 3 minutes with my Kenwood mixer....using the manual hand beaters this used to take me anything between 10 and 15 minutes, so using an electric one certainly does save me a lot of time. If the mixer appears to be labouring then I suggest you increase the speed as it will mix a lot better if you do this. The handle is also located on top of the main body and can be held quite easily with either your right or your left hand and I don't find it difficult to keep control of when I'm using it, I can move the mixer around with ease while it's beating and don't find this to be a strain on my arm at all.
Once you are finished with the hand mixer, to release the tools there is a tool release button located on the top of the body which needs a bit of a firm push before the tools click out. One of the important things to remember is that one of the dough hooks has a little metal collar on it which must be slotted into the round slot at the bottom of the unit for it to work. The recommended dough load for this unit is no more than 450g flour. Once your mixing or kneading is complete simply remove the tools and wash by hand in your sink with soapy water or pop in the dishwasher for cleaning.
***Storing your hand mixer***
The cord for the hand mixer wraps nice and neatly around the bottom of the unit and has it's very own cable tidy for you to clip the cord in place so you don't pull the unit out of it's storage place next time and end up with a plug and wires flying about all over the place.
This particular hand mixer also comes with a grip clip which can be attached to the base of the unit itself to keep your tools and your mixer together. Unfortunately, this tool has been misplaced since I bought my mixer so I can't really say whether or not it was useful but I imagine it would have been. For me though it's just as easy to store my attachments in my cutlery drawer so I always know where to find them.
***Cleaning your hand mixer***
As indicated earlier the stainless steel attachements can be both hand washed with soapy water and are dishwasher safe so it's entirely up to you how you want to clean your tools. The handmixer body cannot be submerged in water at all and of course cannot be put in your dishwasher so the easiest way to keep it clean is to wipe it with a damp cloth and then dry with a tea towel.
***Some safety instructions***
It's important to always make sure that the cable is completely unravelled from the base of the hand mixer before you use it. Keep your hair tied back when using and be careful not to get any hair near the utensils while operating as I imagine this will result in a nasty head injury....it's also important to keep fingers and clothing away from any moving parts. If you're not using the appliance then please unplug it especially if you have children who may be curious and start playing with it as this is not a childrens toy. If there are any visible signs of damage then please don't use the hand mixer - get it repaired or replace it....the last thing you want is to get an electric shock or even worse have your appliance burst into flames because of a fault.
***My final thoughts and opinion***
I got this hand mixer to make my time cooking and baking in the kitchen a little easier and this certainly has helped. Thanks to Kenwood I'm now shaving at least 15 minutes off my preperation time for cakes and Ihave actually been adventurous enough to make some rosemary and thyme focaccia bread which required the use of the kneading tools.....letting the attachments do all the work was so much easier than letting my poor hands do the kneading and they worked a treat. My dough was perfect and the bread very tasty. The noise level of the mixer isn't too bad, it's not noisy enough for it to be uncomfortable but it's not quiet either - but then I guess products like this can't be when they run off of a motor. Overall a great tool for the kitchen and for a great price too. I picked mine up in Argos for £27.99 and it's currently on offer in Argos for £18.59 so an even better price now than it was at the start of the year when I bought it.
If you're looking for a tool that;s going to get the job done then I do recommend this. It's not the most stylish kitchen appliance but it doesn't need to be, it's easy to use, easy to store. easy to clean and mixes my batters and cake mixes perfectly and so performs it's functions to the letter. If you're looking for something with a little more bells and whistles about it then I suggest you continue your search for that stylish kitchen appliance. A good kitchen utensil doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg and as long as my Kenwood mixer works, it will continue to get used.
Compact and durable the HM324 hand mixer from Kenwood offers three dedicated speeds for folding mixing and whisking / It features a comfort-fit moulded handle full safety interlock and wraparound cable storage. As well as non-degradable Stainless Steel beaters for durability and strength.

Review: uebo M200 Media Streamer
Short version: The uebo M200 is a fine enthusiast media streamer. It played back every file I tried from either a local or network source, works well with UPnP services like PlayOn, and even has a few built-in Internet services. The interface isn't Boxee-awesome, but it's more than enough to get the job done. I like it. Read More

A Pleasant Peninsula
I'm proud to be from Michigan. We've got four of the five Great Lakes and really, how great is Lake Ontario anyway? Without Michigan, you don't get Kid Rock or Ted Nugent and how many other states let you show people where you live just by holding up a hand?
However, I'm not always proud of Michigan. Sure, it's a great state but there are some issues. You know, like the fact that half of Detroit is functionally illiterate. Seriously, half. Even Togo does better than that.
Some of our other citizens don't fare much better either. You could call it a blond thing, you could call it a Michigan thing. All I know is that it doesn't say anything good about us.
There are two things that give me hope, though. First is the fact that we still have Justin Verlander and that's like money in the bank. The second thing? Actually, it's the hand thing. Come on, that's pretty cool.

Over Easy Thursday
Good morning and welcome to the Thursday Over Easy. oldnslow here sitting in for a very busy Ruth. Thursday is the day Ruth takes a look at the foreign press so I figure why mess with a good thing. Although it is actually a fairly daunting task let's give it a go;
Is Assad looking to flee Syria? Apparently, despite assurance that he would "live and die in Syria," the Syrian Foreign Minister has been busy in Latin America.
Egypt has exploded this week. I don't know about you, but I sincerely had extremely high hopes that Egypt would find it's way. This is clearly more than a bump in the road.
It is here that I would love to give you an update on the Fukushima Daiichi power plant melt down but news is very difficult to come by.
The UN Climate talks in Doha Qatar do not appear to be going all that well. Apparently the ever reliable Heritage Foundation, despite this, has released a paper urging the US government to break away from the UN on Climate Change and blah, blah, blah……. No I will not link to it.
Ireland, you know the model for recovery through austerity, is not recovering. Who could have predicted that would happen?
The typhoon pounding the Phillipines is tragic and the devastation is far from fully exposed as of this morning.
Sorry to slide to the home front but Dave Brubeck, the jazz great died yesterday. If you think you don't know who that is listen to this and it will come to you. Years ago the CBL worked at a Raddison in Stockton CA and Dave was one of her regulars. The first time she waited on him she called him Mr. Brubeck out of the gate and he was stunned to be recognized. They hit it off and CBL adored the very humble and kind legend. RIP Dave.
That's what I've got this morning Dinerzens, have at it.

Carol Walsh Memorial Blood Drive
Start Date: March 28, 2012
End Date: March 28, 2012
Time: 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
2:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Gymnasium, Boutin Student Center, Worcester Campus
The Carol Walsh Memorial Blood Drive was instituted by faculty and students of the Becker College nursing program to honor former Becker College Nursing Professor Carol Walsh, who taught from 1983 to 2000. Professor Walsh died of cancer in 2006.
During her cancer treatment, Professor Walsh needed a lot of blood. Professor Margaret McNeil's continuing gift in her memory is this annual blood drive. On the day of the blood drive, she asks those who knew Professor Walsh and those who didn't to honor the memory of this great lady by donating blood. The entire day will be staffed by nursing faculty volunteers and her beloved students.
Professor McNeil explains the devotion for her that lives on: "Carol contributed much to the nursing program over the years by serving as acting director of nursing, developing curriculum, and assisting me with starting the Nursing Club. The many nursing alumni and faculty remember Carol well as an inspirational presence in the nursing program and for her contributions to the College at large."
Professor McNeil adds, "When I came here in 1988, Carol was a great mentor, colleague, and friend. In 2006, her cancer returned with a vengeance, and she died with dignity cared for by her beloved Becker nursing grads and surrounded by family, friends, and Becker faculty."

Teacher Cate
She landed at the gymnastics center after spending years bouncing from volleyball to flute to violin to every other activity. Nothing stuck, not until her mother, Michelle Sutton, suggested teaching gymnastics.
"For the first time she found something that really mattered to her," Ms. Sutton said. "I'd watch her and marvel" at the joy and energy she brought to class. "Everything about Cate was bigger than life. (Sometimes during class) I would whisper to her to bring it down a little bit and now of course I wish I could hear her shout."
The 19-year-old spent hours coaching her young students. "She wasn't afraid to wear a tutu or screaming pink shoes, but (was) sensitive enough to know how to connect with the quieter kids. I didn't know she had that knack. I don't think she did, either," her mother said.
All that bounding energy ended on July 13, 2011, when Cate Fisher was shot and killed while sitting in a friend's car in East Palo Alto.
One suspect was arrested in Colorado, following a crime spree that left yet another bystander dead. Christian Fuentes pleaded guilty earlier this year to the Colorado crimes and was sentenced to more than 75 years in prison; San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said his office is considering whether to extradite the man to stand trial here.
The families of those she taught, as well as her own, would like to see a tangible sign of "Teacher Cate" at the place where she loved to go to work. They've offered to pay for a plaque outside under the crepe myrtle tree, which was planted in her honor, and help do whatever else might be necessary to create a memorial.
"It's a loving gesture for someone I guarantee would still be teaching there, and I'd still be yelling at her about grades, needing a degree and not wanting to be a gym teacher for the rest of your life," Ms. Sutton said.
Two years and counting
Documents obtained from city staff through public records requests don't offer any satisfactory explanation as to why a recognizable memorial has yet to materialize.
The sign for "Cate's Corner" is still on order, according to Community Services Director Cherise Brandell — two years after the instructor's death and one year after the new gymnastics center opened.
Ms. Brandell attributed the long delay to finalizing the center's interior decor, and said there was no plan for a plaque underneath the crepe myrtle tree.
But another staff email raised the question of whether this really has to do with Cate Fisher's mother, who was abruptly fired as a gymnastics instructor earlier this year:
"I don't like the idea of a tree (which would just keep Michelle coming around) and am really hesitant to place something permanent inside the building," Recreation Supervisor Noreen Bickle wrote to Ms. Brandell after the Almanac starting asking about the status of a memorial.
Ms. Bickle didn't respond to follow-up questions. Ms. Brandell said she was unaware of any concerns and that Ms. Sutton was welcome to be at the city's facilities like any member of the public.
According to the community services director, responsibility for getting a sign belonged to manager Pearce Wagner. When the Almanac asked him if that was the case, he declined to comment, referring the inquiry back to Ms. Brandell, who told the Almanac that question had been "asked and answered."
But a second records request showed that Mr. Wagner's responsibility for ordering the sign was news to him.
"I was unaware that we were moving forward with this memorial for Cate Fisher and I was under the impression that Karen (Mihalek) had previously been assigned that duty," he wrote in an email on Aug. 4. to Ms. Brandell. "I would love to see a memorial for Cate and feel that it is long overdue. If you would like me to order a sign I can do that."
Mr. Wagner had displayed a painting of Cate Fisher at the gymnastics center until he was told to take it down, according to the community services director, because the Arrillaga family's agreement to fund the new facilities included a clause that nothing should be displayed on the walls.
Last week the city installed a plaque on the wall in the gymnastics center that thanks the City Council and the Arrillagas for their work.
Michelle Sutton
Six days before she was fired, Ms. Sutton had asked the city's human resources department and union representatives about filing a harassment complaint against her supervisor, Ms. Mihalek. She said she was told that a parent's complaint about asked to step off the mat during a child-only class led to her termination.
The Almanac reviewed Ms. Sutton's personnel file at the city and found no documentation of any reprimands or other performance issues; however, the city isn't legally required to document disciplinary actions for at-will employees.
Fellow instructor Chris Ortez quit in protest over the firing, telling the city manager and the council that Ms. Mihalek held "none-too-discreet contempt" for Ms. Sutton and reportedly had a history of complaints filed by at least two female staff members "who have been harassed, intimidated, and/or otherwise bullied by her."
The city hired an outside investigator to review the allegations. A letter from City Manager Alex McIntyre to Ms. Sutton said the investigator concluded no illegal harassment or retaliation had occurred.
Without naming anyone, Mr. McIntyre's letter acknowledged that certain supervisors and employees sometimes interacted inappropriately with Ms. Sutton. He wrote that the city would address those incidents confidentially. Nevertheless, Ms. Sutton's termination, while handled in a manner that "may have been unpleasant," was appropriate, the letter said.
Now teaching gymnastics in Mountain View, Ms. Sutton said she was perplexed as to why anyone would be worried about her coming around Menlo Park's facility. Far from wanting to hang around, she drops her younger daughter off for lessons at a distance to avoid running into staff.
She worries that the memory of Teacher Cate has gotten lost in the acrimony.
"I wish people would set aside how they feel about me and do the right thing," Ms. Sutton said.
Memories of Cate Fisher
Below are comments from a memorial book for Cate Fisher, signed by the families of students she taught.
• "I still think about Cate every day. Our son thrived with her. He can be very challenging and Cate was able to work with him and motivate him. ...She was amazing."
• "(Our son) had Cate for kinder gym for 2 sessions. He would pick flowers from the park and bring them in for her. Cate would always make a big deal out of it, gushing and gushing. ... Cate had such a generous heart. ... She was such an important, loving teacher for (our son)."
• "To the wonderful, sparkling, generous, big-hearted Cate: in your short life, you enriched ours so much! You were a fixture on our Saturday mornings. ... You made every moment joyful with your natural warmth, ease, confidence, and playfulness."
• "(Cate) was a wonderful person with a very large heart. She always had a smile for the children, knew them all by name, and made every child feel special."

text: It's time to upgrade the cluster, and I'm trying to determine the best hardware configuration for our purposes. It's been a while since I went through this exercise and there seem to be more choices now (the last time I added nodes, people were just starting to use AMD clusters). Specifically, the nodes will be diskless, and running coarsely grained parallel problems distributed by Sun's Grid Engine. So fast ethernet works fine for networking. Also the distributed jobs are Fortran77/90 and C codes, which I can recompile for 64bit processors if need be. My main criteria are: - best price/performance ratio: our simulations are essentially independent, so overall runtime for a set of jobs will scale almost linearly with number of processors. So the best solution is likely not the cutting edge fastest, but a step back from the fastest where we can buy more nodes for the same $$. - hardware reliability - rack form factor I'm assuming 2 way SMP motherboards are still the way to go.

NorCal POWER:
Tahoe Talent Rising
By Cody Dresser
With a dozen resorts circling the lake and epic backcountry off the highway, Tahoe was an obvious snowboard mecca from the start. All the heavy pros rolled NorCal through the 80s into the mid 90s--they had to. Squaw Valley, or "Squawlywood," held the snowboard community in a headlock. For media, working pros, and unknowns seeking respect, it was the place to get it done. As Oakland rapper Too $hort put it, "Get in where you fit in,"--clearly, Tahoe was the spot.
Time marches on. In '95 the Utah shift began as Salt Lake exposed California's weakness--the powder was often slush by noon. Utah's dry snow and consistent conditions proved a more efficient area for modern pros, and the scene moved East. Tahoe was in a state of transition--local heroes aged, and new blood began a slow bid for recognition.
As snowboard stunts grew, Utah was quickly overpopulated--the search for larger terrain was on. Reexamination of NorCal's vast backcountry was imminent--and with it, the discovery of Lake Tahoe's new talent. A storm was brewing, a new wave of riders were putting the area back on the map--re-instilling NorCal pride along the way. Standing in the shadows of ghosts no longer, here is NorCal power rebuilt and redefined--Tahoe's future, today.
South Shore
Shaun Palmer and Jimmy Halopoff have done South Lake proper for over a decade now--and today, Jimmy's South Shore Soldiers camp at Heavenly is fostering the new breed of local riders. Jimmy Tomer and Durk Dye are coming up with the help of photographer Ian Ruhter, (The Green Cowboy) and filmer Nathan Yant, both former local pros. The kids are green, with damn big shoes to fill--give them a little time.
How many hooligans can live in one crash pad? The Truckee "Mancamp" houses over a dozen. True dorm-style, frat-house living, with a stopwatch and log sheet on the wall for their longest-piss contest. Every inch of space has been converted to a sleeping area. Closets, pantries, even bathrooms are fair game--odds on someone's sleeping in the bathtub tonight. Santa Cruz riders Stephen Duke and Robbie Sell have fanned the NorCal fire, motivating guys like Sean Tedore to step it up and realize their potential. The house is brimming with happy-go-lucky talent. Ladies--we left the address on the mailbox.
Squaw Valley
The infamous Alkasquawliks: mix Scotty Wittlake, Marc Frank, a blunt, and a brew. The motley crew runs serious game. On snow, Squaw's terrain has lent Josh Feliciano and company the skills to destroy everything--contests, park, and the backcountry. The ghetto thugsters had so many girls around their crib we lost count. Truckfuls of 'em.
Incline Village
Under the watchful eye of photographer Ruben Sanchez, the Trilogy Arts crew has honed some wickedly smooth, ultra-clean manuevers. Professional influence lies in the hands of Joel Mahaffey--Ride teammate Chris Demolski, a.k.a. "Mini-Mahaffey," is cutting a reputation on his wooden handrail antics. Ever try an air to backslide lip on timber? Dicey! Things you might find around an Incline house: basketball hoops, skateboards, and parents.
The Tahoe Transplants
Mammoth couldn't house the entire East Coast snowboard scene--a few strays ended up in Tahoe. Alaska's Darian Draper, better known as "Steak Neck," moved down to more media-friendly grounds as well. There are even a few Euros and Scanners calling the land of hot powder home nowadays.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Norman Conquest of England in 1066 brought much change to the island nation, including many immigrants with new names. Among these immigrants were the ancestors of the Walbourn family, who lived in Lincolnshire. Their name is derived from the Old English word welle, meaning well, and the Old Norse word brunnr, meaning stream or spring, and indicates that the original bearer lived near a well by a stream or spring.
Walbourn Early Origins
Lincolnshire where they were Lords of the manor of Welbourn and conjecturally descended from a Norman noble, Robert Malet, who was granted the church and mill by King William the Conqueror in 1066. The ancestry of Robert goes back to Graville near Havre in Normandy in 990, where he was descended from Algar, the seventh Earl of Mercia.

Walbourn Spelling Variations
Walbourn Spelling Variations
A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Welborne, Welborn, Welbourne, Welburn and others.

Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Thomas Welbourne (Welbourn) (executed at York, 1 August 1605), an English Roman Catholic teacher; Catholic martyr, beatified in 1929. Thomas Wellborn (also: Welbourn, Welbourne, Wellbourne), (1640-1702), served as...

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Walbourn or a variant listed above: Sam, Mathew, and Robert Welbourne settled in Virginia in 1652.

Photographer's Note
Jaggery Vendor : This is the image of a jaggery vendor at a local market in the North Bihar province of Muzaffarpur.I liked his posture as he was dressed in the traditional Dhoti-kurta,which is falling out of fashion in modern India.Even till the seventies of the last century,Dhoti-kurta used to be worn by the majority of Indians in North Indian Villages,but the modern day India is more comfortable in western outfits like pant-shirts.
Some tidbits about Jaggery :
Jaggery is a traditional uncentrifuged sugar consumed in India mostly. It is a concentrated product of date, cane juice, or palm sap without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in color. Jaggery is mixed with other ingredients, such as peanuts, condensed milk, coconut, and white sugar, to produce several locally marketed and consumed delicacies.All over India, jaggery has religious significance to Hindus. Many of the festivals involve the offering of jaggery to deities during worship. Jaggery is considered auspicious in many parts of India and is eaten raw before the commencement of good work or any important new venture, or after good news is shared by family and friends

Good evening Farhat,
marvelous pic. of the face expression of the man selling unique food of Indai.Never heared about the Jaggery, thanks for enlightening my knowledge, learn something new.
Fine "busy" picture, many bikes "decorated" the BG.
Have a nice weekend,
Subhogen (4067) 2013-12-14 10:49
Hello Farhat,
An excellent and original market scene from India.
It is nice to see that you could find a villager wearing the traditional dress of our country. Good eye contact and nice focus on the subject and his commodities.
Nice natural and well managed light. A very good photo my friend, thanks for sharing.
PaulVDV (37808) 2013-12-14 11:27
Hello Farhat,
An interesting market scene and a good portrait of this man.
So today the Dhoti-kurta is falling out of fashion in India. I was in India in 1994 en in 1995 (twice in summer) and I remember to have seen many men in this traditional dress.
In this city the bike is clearly a popular mode of transport. I also once rented a bike in India. It was quite adventurous driving in the busy streets :)
Best regards, Paul
photoray (13981) 2013-12-14 11:42

Fine candid of the Jaggery vendor in his classical garment and his display, and the background of bicycles. A scene from traditional past and attractive deviation from modern society.
Well done,

Reading about the ingredients of jaggery I feel like I would die just getting close to this salesman :-). But it's another very good street-photo with lots of atmospere and fine colours.
Kind regards,

You're capturing well this daily life by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see big Jaggery on roadside market and traditional clothes of the elderly seller. He is doing the intrepid countenance. Anyway, it's interesting to hear that this kind of sugar consists with other ingredients.

Excellent photo work, superb composition, and very good POV. Well done.
snunney (115333) 2013-12-15 2:59
Hello Farhat,
Your note is most useful, particularly the decryption of jaggery, a substance unknown to me, and its uses. Your picture shows the man and his wares to great effect and sets him in context. It is well lit and has good saturated colours and excellent sharpness. I also like the bicycles in the background suggesting how busy the market is. A fine contribution that matches the ideals of TE.
pierrefonds (77609) 2013-12-15 5:13

The vendor seem to be unhappy when you took is picture. The point of view is showing the items for sale. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
No_One (4) 2013-12-15 6:44
Hi Farhat,
I've never heard of this product, so thank you for teaching me something new today! I would have thought this was a meat product! This is a great portrait scene, and the mans expression is excellent, he looks like is allowing the photo, but is not overly excited at the idea. This makes the scene very realistic and gritty. Very nicely done.
SnapRJW (31629) 2013-12-15 8:01
Hello Farhat - This is a really interesting DL shot and your note is informative; I have learned a lot. I thought that jaggery was a palm sugar and used mainly as an ingredient in curries (I bought some in Thailand where it is used quite a lot). I didn't know that it is also used a a basis of a sweetmeat, the delicacies sound delicious and I'd love to try some. To see the jaggery seller and his product displayed like this shows a lifestyle and culture so different from our supermarket pre-packaged food culture and the rawness of the food has huge appeal to me. I love trying new things and this looks really tempting. An wonderful look at DL in India. Thanks. Warm regards Rosemary

I had never heard of Jaggery before, so thanks to you I have learnt something new today. This is a superb daily life photo. The colours and contrasts are so rich and I love the way you captured this man, squatting by his wares. Wonderful work, thanks for sharing.
Warmest wishes
Romano46 (18472) 2013-12-16 1:46
Ciao Farhat
nello sguardo dell'uomo c'è tutta la fierezza del lavoro che sta svolgendo e nello stesso tempo la rassegnazione per un'attesa del compratore che potrebbe essere anche molto lunga.
Attorno a lui solo confusione e tanta povertà e la presenza di un ambiente non proprio ideale per un mercato.
Piacevoli i colori molto delicati, quasi sfumati.
Ciao, buona giornata e buon inizio di settimana
subhendu_bagchi (26091) 2013-12-16 6:29

ourania (51103) 2013-12-16 10:31
Hello Farhat,
this picture could be quite old, I haven't found any clues that prove it was taken in 2013 and that's intriguing. It's an interesting daily life scene and portrait in working ambiance. The subject of the portrait is surrounded by a lot of attractive and informative details. We see everything with reference to him, though, as his direct glance and involvement in the photo are very significant. Light and colours are warm, clear and pleasing. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Silvio1953 (164649) 2013-12-16 13:20

jcpix (14024) 2013-12-16 16:21
Hi Farhat,
Terrific photo, and a solid note to explain and further help understand the image. This has very much a real, true to life feeling about it...it's always nice to get a sense of the local tradition and culture, especially when it involves that human presence. A lot of interesting items to see here, you did a great job presenting so much, but not overdoing it to where it becomes confusing. I like this one a lot! Have a great day ahead.
Friendly wishes,

You show a much-interesting document about jaggery sold as 'pep vitamin' to be taken before arduous activities and let me tell you about all the energy manifested by my younger grandson after eating chocolate!!
I'm happy to discover the new substance and the exotic way to promote it.

The Phils reach eighty victories, despite having to wait over two hours for the rain to subside first, as they defeat the D-backs, 4-1.
The Phils, after having to wait over two hours for the rain to leave, win their eightieth game, as they beat the D-backs, 4-1.
The Phils took the lead in the second as, with two men on, and with two me out, Wilson Valdez hits an RBI double, knocking in Raul Ibanez. who had earlier doubled, while sending Brian Schneider, who had just walked, on to third base, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead. The Phils then made it a 3-0 lead in the third as, with one man on, and with nobody out, John Mayberry, Jr. hits a two-run home run, his tenth home run of the season, knocking in Jimmy Rollins, who had earlier singled. After the end of the inning, the ground crew put the tarp onto the infield, just moments before it started to rain, at times coming down in buckets, delaying the game for over two hours before play finally resumed. The Phils then added to their lead in the fifth as, with one man on, and with two men out, Ibanez hits an RBI double, knocking in Chase Utley, who had earlier doubled, giving the Phils a 4-0 lead. The D-backs got on the board in the eighth as Paul Goldschmidt hits a solo home run, his fourth home run of the season, cutting the Phils' lead down to 4-1. That would end up being the final score as Ryan Madson collected his twenty-third save of the year as he pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.
Vance Worley received a no-decision as he pitched three strong innings, before the two-hour plus rain delay, giving up just a hit, while striking out two. David Herndon (1-2, 3.79) got the win as he pitched three scoreless innings after the deluge, giving up a hit, while striking out four. Michael Stutes pitched an inning plus one batter, giving up a run on a hit and a walk, while striking out a batter. Antonio Bastardo collected his thirteenth hold of the year as he pitched a scoreless inning, striking out two. Ryan Madson received his twenty-third save of the year as he pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out a batter. Ian Kennedy (15-4, 3.22) took the lost as he also pitched only three innings, thanks to the long rain delay, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out four. Micah Owings also pitched three innings after the rain had stopped, giving up a run on two hits and a walk, while he struck out four. Bryan Shaw, Joe Paterson and David Hernandez combined for two scoreless innings, giving up a walk (Shaw), while striking out a batter (Shaw) between them.
The Phils had seven hits in the ballgame, with both Chase Utley (Single, Double) and Raul Ibanez (Doubles, RBI) both leading the team with two hits apiece. Jimmy Rollins (Single), John Mayberry, Jr. (Home Run, 2 RBIs) and Wilson Valdez (Double, RBI), had the other three Phils' hits. This would be the first game, since the trade, in which Hunter Pence would not get a hit, and the Phils would end up winning the game.
The Phils (80-42, 1st) will now begin a short three-game road trip with the Nats (59-63, 4th), starting tonight with a night game. The game will be played at Nationals Park and will start at 7:05 pm EDT. The Phils will send to the mound Roy Oswalt (5-7, 3.84), who is coming off a win against the Nats on August 13, as he pitched seven innings, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk, while he struck out five, in the Phils' 11-3 rout. He will be going for his second straight win since coming off the DL. The Nats will counter with Livan Hernandez (7-11, 4.21), who is coming off a win against the Phils on August 12, as he went six and two-thirds innings, giving up an unearned run on four hits and a walk, while striking out three, in the Nats' 4-2 win. He hopes to once again stifle the Phils' offense. The Phils plan to increase their present winning streak at the Nats expense.

FLASHBACK: Fox Admits To Planting Political Brainwashing In Popular TV Shows
Abby Goodnough of The New York Times is reporting as the California state government is setting up its ObamaCare exchange, the exchange has hired a PR firm (with federal government money).
"Realizing that much of the battle will be in the public relations realm, the exchange has poured significant resources into a detailed marketing plan — developed not by state health bureaucrats but by the global marketing powerhouse Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, which has an initial $900,000 contract with the exchange," she wrote. Ogilvy's plan is to tap major network TV shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Modern Family" to sell Americans on the health care law:
Hollywood, an industry whose major players have been supportive of President Obama and his agenda, will be tapped. Plans are being discussed to pitch a reality television show about "the trials and tribulations of families living without medical coverage," according to the Ogilvy plan. The exchange will also seek to have prime-time television shows, like "Modern Family," "Grey's Anatomy" and Univision telenovelas, weave the health care law into their plots.
"I'd like to see 10 of the major TV shows, or telenovelas, have people talking about 'that health insurance thing,' " said Peter V. Lee, the exchange's executive director. "There are good story lines here."

• Spurs not content with being top-four team, says Sandro
• Gareth Bale unhappy with his fifth booking for diving
Aaron Lennon's adroit winner and Gareth Bale's justified dismay at, once again, being branded a diver commanded more attention but Tottenham's two central midfielders were the key to the team's sixth win in eight Premier League games.
The strength and intelligence of Sandro, especially, and Mousa Dembélé ensured that Spurs were able to control the game for prolonged periods while leaving their wingers free to concentrate on attack.
Things worked so well that Sandro suggested André Villas-Boas's players could be champions come May. "Everybody talks about Manchester United and City and even Chelsea for the title but never Spurs," said the Brazilian. "Why not Spurs? We have a good coach, a good squad and everything is working well.
"This is a fast, dangerous team built to attack and we are not content to just be a top-four side. No one is talking about Spurs as champions but then, bang, we will win it and they will be talking about Tottenham then."
Sandro and Dembélé are so powerfully accomplished that, unlike many Premier League counterparts, they can thrive in a 4-4-2 formation against alternatively configured opponents fielding three central midfielders.
Sunderland's 4-4-1-1 system meant, in effect, they had two-and-a-half men staffing that department on Saturday, but Sandro ensured that Stéphane Sességnon flitted around to limited effect while Dembélé concentrated on involving Lennon and Bale at every opportunity.
Nearly a year since being dismissed by Chelsea, Villas-Boas's moulding of this Brazilian-Belgian axis has not only ensured Luka Modric's departure was not the disaster it might have been but quietly restored his boy wonder reputation.
Judging by the visiting manager's friendly words of touchline tactical advice for Jermain Defoe and the post final whistle hugs reserved for the substitute Scott Parker and his assistant Steffen Freund, the 35-year-old is also developing the sort of human, empathetic touch critics claimed he lacked at Stamford Bridge.
The narrative of Villa-Boas's perceived past coldness is widely accepted but maybe he has not changed quite so radically as imagined at Spurs. Perhaps the frostiness belonged largely to a cabal of senior Chelsea players? "I always believed in my managerial ability," he said. "But it's an unpredictable job."
Like his old mentor, Sir Bobby Robson, the Portuguese – displaying a sense of humour noticeably absent during his west London days – is able to entertain an opposing viewpoint, which explains the sympathy he extended to Martin Atkinson following Bale's harsh late booking for a perceived dive in the face of Craig Gardner's challenge.
"It was a big refereeing mistake but Gareth's pace makes things very difficult for referees to judge," said Villas-Boas, adopting the sort of conciliatory, measured, magnanimous tone Sir Alex Ferguson often avoids. "Speed is difficult to analyse and everyone makes mistakes."
A fifth booking of the season means Bale misses Tuesday's meeting with Reading and the winger dubbed the league's principal diver did not share his manager's capacity for forgiveness. "If there's contact, what do you want me to do, hit my head on the floor?" Bale said. "I have to put my hands down to protect myself."
Earlier he had flattered to deceive, exciting Spurs fans but frustrating them too as his final delivery repeatedly undid some thrilling approach work.
Lennon eventually blossomed but a surprisingly slow start against the Sunderland left-back Matt Kilgallon – deputising for the ineligible Tottenham loanee Danny Rose – allied to Emmanuel Adebayor shooting against the bar from two yards, offered Sunderland early hope.
Sebastian Larsson struggled in central midfield but few players take a meaner dead ball and his free-kick laden with curve, dip and vicious pace prefaced John O'Shea giving Martin O'Neill's side a 40th‑minute lead.
Its fragility was confirmed when Carlos Cuéllar headed a corner into his own net and Lennon manipulated the ball around O'Shea before beating the excellent Simon Mignolet with a fine right-footed finish.
Spurs deserved to win but Sunderland have improved significantly over the past month and, like Villas-Boas and Sandro, O'Neill can approach 2013 with optimism.

The recent news cycle has once again reminded us that we atheists are a subhuman species, not deserving of the oxygen we are hogging that might otherwise go to good godly people like… well, everybody in the media, every politician, every soccer mom, brave firefighter, patriotic flagwaver, and superhero–you know, the Good Folk. Greg Laden's blog has some examples–I don't want to link them here.
The second video at that link, in particular, turns my stomach. I can't watch it without hearing other terms substituted, all of them inappropriate and best left in the past, casually uttered by racist, sexist, homophobic, antisemites like, say, my Grandfather. His generation saw nothing wrong with such language–well, at least not among good white christian folk like him.
Gradually, of course, such language became an embarrassing remnant of an earlier time, relegated more and more to isolated pockets, to divided subcultures. The vocabulary is still there, but is no longer a part of polite talk; it is, at least, recognized as the insulting behavior it is. No one on the national stage would ever speak freely and casually about any of these groups as second-class citizens, let alone pariahs. (Yes, there are still the Sally Kerns of the world, and the YouTube videos of groups waiting for McCain rallies, but the very fact that these are posted as examples of inappropriate behavior, and that these people would never say the same things on national television, is precisely my point.)
With one exception. Atheists are fair game. "Godless" is still defined as "wicked; evil; sinful"; an accusation of "consorting with atheists" is grounds for slander. Not just in hushed tones when we are fairly certain the microphone is off, but proudly, deliberately, on national television. Not just Liddy Dole's shameful ad, but the CNN discussion of that ad, takes the moral inferiority of the atheist as a given.
Disgusting. Just as it was before with any other group. And just as divisive as before–using group membership as a weapon. I had hoped for better. I hope that some newsperson, somewhere, on the national stage, has the guts to call out his or her peers on this. I will not hold my breath.
I proudly am an atheist;
I do not share your views.
Imagine how insulting,
When I watch the evening news
And I see you point at folks like me
Indignantly, with rage,
As if we were the lepers
Of a less enlightened age!
No need to watch your language
Or to treat us with respect—
Because demonizing us is still
Politically correct.
You'd never talk like this regarding
Blacks, or Gays, or Jews,
But with atheists, just look at all
The language that you use!
"Obama is a terrorist"—of course
The claim's obscene;
But "Hagan is an atheist"?
The worst you've ever seen?!?
Comparing her to me is now
The lowest of the low?
It's good I don't believe in Hell—
I'd tell you where to go.
I proudly am an atheist
I proudly am a Jew
I proudly am a Christian,
And I'm proudly Muslim, too.
I'm proud to be both Gay and Straight
I'm proudly Black and White
I'm proudly Man and Woman
And I'll proudly join the fight.
I proudly am Humanity,
Whatever that is worth;
There is no group below me,
Or above me, on this Earth.

Okay, so I know what the map said when Snape read it in the movie, but when did it say in the book. I completely forgot. Help!
Okay, so I know what the map said when Snape read it in the movie, but when did it say in the book. I completely forgot. Help!
Mr Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other peoples business.
Mr Prongs agrees with Mr Moony, and would like to add Professor Snape is an ugly git.
Mr Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a Professor.
Mr Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball.
Terri Black (as in Mrs Sirius {aka Padfoot} Black)
Hufflepuff Head of House
I'm boldly going to abuse this thread to ask my own question Did Snape know about the map? Because he seems to recognise it (He asks Lupin something like "Don't you think it is more likely that he got it directly from the makers?"). Did he maybe see the Marauders with it, but could never make out what it actually was? (edit: i.e. that it was a map, so he saw them with a blank peace of parchment they were trying to hide or something)
I don't know, he may have seen the Marauders with it, but I'm more inclined to think that he just recognised their nicknames.
I write. I drabble. I duel. I poet. I'm a BADGER!!!
Banner by the fabulous Julia - theoplaeye
I don't think so, because there's this thing so very common in fanfiction that irritates me a lot-- the fact that everyone, including Martha the first year Hufflepuff, her aunt, her dog, her aunt's dog and her dog's aunt know about the fact that the Marauders call themselves the Marauders, and they have a Map. The books lead us to believe that it's actually not that widely known, and it was more of a secret thing.
So, yeah. I don't think Snape knew about the Map, I find it more likely that Snape recognised the nicknames (Which themselves weren't probably all that widely known).
I agree, I'm guessing that he wouldn't have actually known what it was, or else he would have done something more about it like not let Harry have it back. But I'm guessing that he would probably recognize the nicknames, or at least realize that they were somewhat related to James, Peter, Sirius, and Remus.Originally Posted by Sainyn Swiftfoot
From Snape's Worst Memory, we know that the Marauder's openly addressed each other by their nicknames even in front of Snape, so I agree that he probably would have just recognised the nicknames.
Now, here's a random question about the Marauder's Map:
Do you think the Marauder's Map updates itself to correspond to changes in Hogwarts castle? For instance, if a new wing was to be constructed, would the map be intelligent enough to adapt, or would it become obsolete?
Tim the Enchanter
I was going to say that I thought the map would adapt, but it was already proven that it does not. The passages that are blocked still appear on the map. I suppose one could argue that the passages are still there, and that is why the map has not changed in which case I will state me originally planned opinion. The map has the ability to adapt. At least when it comes to people, it knows names that did not exist when it was created. So if it can pull names out of thin air why not additions to the castle and grounds as well?Originally Posted by Tim the Enchanter
Additionally, the Room of Requirement does not appear on the map, because the Marauders didn't apparently know about it. So I'm going to say no, it does not adapt, only responds to what is "drawn" on it by its makers.
It probably would rarely be an issue though. I don't see Hogwarts constructing new wings on a centuries old castle unless under extreme circumstances (now has weird vision of the palace in Monaco for Hogwarts...).
Behind every computer monitor is a person with feelings, just like yours.
Author Page
Although that is a good point, I don't know that it doesn't appear because they did not know about it. So much as, it does not appear because that is part of the enchantments that the room is under.Additionally, the Room of Requirement does not appear on the map, because the Marauders didn't apparently know about it. So I'm going to say no, it does not adapt, only responds to what is "drawn" on it by its makers.

Despite the Impact Basketball summer league in Las Vegas placing him on an official roster, Derek Fisher clarified via Twitter on Monday he does not intend to play in the upstart lockout league.
Fisher said he would like to get on the court, but he prioritizes his work as union president and a new collective bargaining agreement.
"While I fully support the Impact League and all the players, I have NOT committed to playing, nor can I at this point," Fisher offered via his @derekfisher Twitter account. "My first priority is serving as President of the NBPA. Everything else comes as a far second right now. I'd love to play, but no plans to given my schedule of meetings and my lead role in them."
The two-week Impact League of NBA-level players started Monday, and Fisher is scheduled to address the players Thursday to update them on negotiations. Fisher was listed by league officials as on a roster that included forward Derrick Caracter, who has one year left on a non-guaranteed Lakers contract.
There was also some confusion about whether Blake Griffin might be joining the league to play on a Clippers team of Mo Williams, Eric Bledsoe, Al-Farouq Aminu, Ryan Gomes, Willie Warren and Travis Leslie — but Griffin is not expected.

The Cyclones never led in the second half, but were able to tie it 43-43 near the five minute mark of the fourth quarter. Searcy answered with a 9-0 run to put the game out of reach.
With 2:51 left in the game, Russellville trailed by nine points and couldn't seem to find the basket. Tony Jones broke up the scoring when he went to the line for a free throw, but with :26 left on the clock, the Cyclones still trailed by six, 54-48.
Searcy scored on a breakaway layup, but Russellville could only answer from the free throw line.
Andy Campbell led Russellville in scoring with 13 points. Dakota Young had 11 points and Kentrell Scott had nine.
The Cyclones won the turnover battle only committing 14 to the Lions 21, but it wasn't enough to help them walk away with a win.
"We didn't play well today," Russellville head coach Codey Mann said after the game. "We still have things we have to correct before we get into conference play. Searcy outplayed us in every phase of basektball today. A lot of credit goes to them. They made a few good shots and we missed a lot of open shots that led to easy baskets for them."
The Cyclones will face the winner between the Vilonia Eagles and Little Rock Mills Comets at 11:30 today.

Brits Can't Stop Selling Children Pervy Stuff
We naturally assumed that the United States of America took a backseat to no one when it comes to sexualizing our children at inappropriately young ages for the sake of commerce. Turns out, no: the UK is even pervier.
Ad Age reports that the UK has had to have an entire government inquiry, for chrissake, to see about passing some laws to get this perv marketing in check, what with the rampant sales of "'porn star' T-shirts, pole-dancing kits, Playboy pencil cases and padded bras to pre-teens."
British Prime Minister David Cameron recently labeled marketers "irresponsible" and said he was shocked to find models of beds named "Lolita" targeted at 6-year-olds.
Nice, real nice. You Brits are officially bigger sickos than us. And we love pedophilia 101,000%.

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) – Russell Westbrook scored eight points
over the final stages of overtime, including the go-ahead basket with 1:04
left, as the Oklahoma City Thunder halted their first losing streak of the
season with a hard-fought 111-105 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at
Chesapeake City Arena. Westbrook finished with 16 points and 10 assists, while
Kevin Durant poured in 40 points — 26 of which came in the second half — to
help rally the Thunder from a 10-point deficit with eight minutes remaining
in regulation and end a two-game slide. Serge Ibaka added 19 points and 17
rebounds, and Kevin Martin contributed 18 points off the bench for Oklahoma
City, which has now won 11 consecutive home games. Dallas was dealt a fourth
straight defeat and seventh setback in eight outings despite a season-high 32
points from Darren Collison, who hit a desperation 3-pointer as time expired
to force overtime. Chris Kaman and Shawn Marion recorded 17 and 14 points,
respectively, in the loss. Dirk Nowitzki, playing his second game since
returning from right knee surgery, had nine points and six rebounds in 26
minutes for Dallas, though he shot just 3-of-11 from the field.

[Verse 2: T.JAY]
What can I say to all you rappers? Hustling backwards
Fraternizing like chapters can't surround myself with slackers
Don't know T-DOT..Let me see can I re-plot
Daddy planted the seed and treated me like a re-pot
But I think not, I began to flourish and be nourished
My sick ambition--Super enormous
Seven years old thinking a decade in the future
New position I'm itching let's do some Kama sutra
Let's do this super duper I put my cape on
It's been a year nigga lets put this cake on
While fake ones put their face on we can snatch the trophy
Watch how you approach me...Nigga, Now you know me?!
Ya phony and I told you that I got this a long time ago
I cut you off must you be reminded though
One more time no need to rewind me Yo
I'll cut you off now you've been reminded ho
[Hook: T.JAY]
[Bridge: T.JAY]
X2 Tryna get back to the future right
And while I'm here You can say you know me right?
X2: You know you want this feeling right?
So we're taking this here out of sight
[Hook: T.JAY]
