Frequently Asked Questions
The Work
Who would be my developer?

We have a talented team with a variety of specialties and skill sets. So depending on your needs, one of our Project Managers will work with our Operations Team to pick the individual or group of individuals that can deliver the perfect product and meet your deadline. You can also check our “About Us” page to see some employee bio’s and get more familiar.

Is work performed on my live site?

No, all of our development work is first done on a “copy” of your live site. Once we have thoroughly tested the copy and you have approved the work, then we would push the changes to your live site.

Can I review changes?

Absolutely! Our Quality Assurance Team combs through everything first and then we want to get feedback from you. You will receive credentials to the test development site and can dive in as deep as you want before it’s live. Then we can implement your tweaks and once it’s perfect we can deploy it live.

Specifics to My Site
How long could my site be down?

Since the work is performed on a copy of your site first, downtime is minimal. We can also schedule updates to occur when your traffic is at its lowest to reduce the impact. Actual live site down time can be anywhere from a couple minutes to 3 hours depending on the extent of the deployment.

If Vi Commerce creates my website, do I still own it?

Of course! However, we can’t grant ownership to open-source code or other code that we do not own (which is standard across the industry). Specific licensing agreements like GPL and BSD are good examples. All of these nuances are laid out in more detail in our service agreement which we can walk you through.

Does Vi Commerce provide maintenance?

There are several options we offer to help maintain your site. If you own a large site we can provide a dedicated resource, which is like having your own employee but without the extra work. Or if you are on the smaller side, we can dedicate a small amount of time every month (20-40 hours) or perform on an a la carte project basis. Sometimes things break, we are flexible and can help.

Is Vi Commerce available 24/7?

Almost! It’s more like 21 hours a day and 6 days a week. People have to sleep right? If by some freak accident there is an issue outside the usual hours we even have emergency contacts. Our nightshift crew consists of system administrators, project managers, and on call developers. So if you wake up in a cold sweat or your site is having an issue, we are there for you no matter what.

How can I communicate with Vi Commerce?

Smoke signals and bird calls have been proven less effective than we thought. So now project communication typically flows through our project management software Active Colab. You will be set up with your own profile where you can easily monitor progress and communicate with the team. But we are familiar with several PM software so if you want to use something else we can do that too! You can also reach our office in San Francisco, CA at (415)-503-2367.

How do I get started with Vi Commerce?

Welcome aboard! Please email or call us and a Vi Commerce Specialist would be happy to help get the ball rolling. We will need a little information to ensure that we are a good fit for your project and answer we can answer any other questions that you may have. We will have a team meeting and discuss the best solution for you and put together a statement of work outlining the scope of the project for you. Once you are on board with the game plan, you’ll accept the contract and your Project Manager will be in touch to get your website credentials. Then you are officially started!

How much does it cost to create a new Magento website?

Typically we can save our clients 60% compared to our competitors. The specific costs of a new Magento store varies and depends on your type of business, size, and what you need from your site. There is a laundry list of questions that our Magento Sales Specialist can go over with you to understand the requirements of your new site. Then our team will meet to determine how much your project will cost. Our quotes are accurate and free! To simplify things even further, if your business is fairly simple we offer pre-made packages that can be customized to your business, which will expedite your launch and save you even more money.

Where is the value in Vi Commerce?

You will be hard pressed to find a group of individuals who truly care more about your online business being the best that it can possibly be. All of our Magento certified developers adhere to strict security standards and PCI compliance. The Quality Assurance Engineers will meticulously review your site for bugs and typos. Our SEO wizards will magically make Google fall in love with your sight. Our Project Managers keep you in the loop constantly and keep your vision a priority. And did we mention you get everything for an amazing price?

Stillwater Gang

37,297pages on
this wiki
Add New Page
Talk0 Share

The Stillwater Gang is a western gang that operated in 1871 and was led by Jeb Stillwater. They are minor antagonists in Legends of Tomorrow.

They harrassed the town of Salvation for three months before Rip and his team show up.

While in the saloon, Martin Stein plays cards against one member of the Stillwater Gang and wins. A bad loser, the gang member it out on one of the waiters and Stein intervenes to save the woman. Furious, the gang member draws his gun but is swiftly shot by Leonard Snart. The second gang member jumps up and aims his gun at Stein but before he can shoot he is killed by Jonah Hex, an old friend of Rip Hunter. Hex tells the team about the Stillwater Gang and the team, especially Ray Palmer, decides to rid the town of the gang.

Later, Jeb and his gang ride into the town, claiming that the town will pay because one of his men died there. Jeb is opposed by Palmer, who has become sheriff of Salvation under the name John Wayne. Although Jeb attempts to shoot Palmer, he and his men are forced to flee when Snart snipes the gun out of his hand. Claiming that he has snipers stationed all around, Palmer dispells the gang from the city and the town cheers as Jeb and his men ride off.

After finding out where the camp of the gang is, Palmer and half of his team ride in and take out the gang members. Jeb is knocked out and arrested by Palmer before the gang can cope with the events unfolding. However, while riding out of the camp Jax is caught by a lasso and the team is forced to leave him with the gang. To free Jax without trading Jeb in, the team decides that they will settle matters with the gang by an old-fashioned western duel.

At high-noon, Rip and Stillwater face each other at the main street. The duel is swiftly ended and Stillwater is shot dead. Witnessing this, the Stillwater gang frees Jax and rides out of town, seconds before the Hunters arrive.

A New Year Begins....

You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair. Chinese Proverb

Emily Dickenson said it best.... "My friends are my estate".
Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes. I am rich.

Blogger Deb said...

Oh, Deb. I've been without my computer for a week, and I come back on to find that you have been hospitalized? And your mom is in a nursing home?
I'm so very sorry. I am deeply moved by your last posts, and find myself wondering about you and praying that you are back home. Also that your folks will relent and accept a bit of charity.
It's so hard to grow old and lose one's independence. Honestly, how do they do it? It frightens me to think that I may someday be in the same fix. We have to grasp every second of this thing called "life," don't we, my friend?

I am thinking of you and wanted to visit here just to.......I don't know, let you know that I am wishing you a good recovery and thinking of the trials you are enduring there! You are so right, how we learn from each thing that happens in our lives....big and small! And appreciation for our parents and how they cope with things too! I hope your Mom is doing ok and your Dad too! Much for you to take upon your heart for sure!!! Take care and rest Deb! Hugs,Patti

oh this is wonderful ! the picture and definitely love the proverb.

Your new banner is gorgeous.

I did a Mojo Dance for you over at Beaux Cherie's new typepad blog !

Laughter is good medicine. I hope it works.

Thinking of you....and also thought the other day while driving , it is about time for a trim since we got our cuts at the same time. Go treat yourself to a pick me up....maybe it will help too.

Love, S.

MMM 2016 Days 21, 22 and 23

I wasn't able to post over the weekend as I was away in Norfolk, and to be honest, I had better things to do than sit in front of the computer!
I've now got to the point in the month when there will inevitably be some repeat garments ....
On day 21 I wore my striped Coco top with RTW jeans
Day 22 was another Agnes, this time in a fuchsia pink and white stripe, that I think I bought in Bournemouth last year, worn underneath my Camber top
and today I'm wearing another Makers Atelier top in a different (but equally loud) scuba fabric
with my Ultimate trousers.
Will try to find something new to wear for the rest of the week!

  1. Today I finished my factory dress and was really pleased with the way it turned out until I tried it on... It looks like a complete sack on me. I really like yours on you so was very disappointed. Complete waste of time and money as I'll never wear it... Or make another one!

    1. I might not be trouser shaped - but I am sack-shaped!

Road Trip III 2011: One More Thing

You're About to be Redirected to the New Home of Ground Control to Major Mom: Road Trip III 2011: One More Thing

Road Trip III 2011: One More Thing

When my boys were doing the Turner Field Running of the Bases earlier this month, there was a photographer sitting just past 2nd base taking pictures of the boys.  Some dude handed us parents a flyer with a website and asked us to note the time because the pictures of the kids are displayed by time..

Being the sucker I am, I went to the website...and saw the pictures of my boys...and bought a pair of 5x7s.  I need to get frames for the boys' rooms, but in the meantime, I've scanned them in to share with you.

I'm usually better than succumbing to this.  I'm very good at saying "No, thank you" to these photo offers.  I resist most easily when I'm in the picture looking stupid (which is quite often).  Or if my camera accidentally goes off in front of the computer terminal at the sales counter for such pictures.  Or if the salesman lets you walk around the gift shop with a copy of the picture to take our time deciding whether to buy the picture...and my darned camera went off accidentally AGAIN.  And AGAIN.  (Disclaimer: I may or may not have purchased these hard copies and just took pictures with my iPhone to share them digitally while on vacation).

But this time I did pay for the pictures for sure, since we were back home in FL by the time I could see the proofs.  Enjoy!  And yes, next time we ever do this we will make sure our sons are in real athletic shoes...

My Creative Space

While I was busy making a pile of Gingham Invaded Cushions last weekend, Cloud was having fun making our latest Funky Friends Factory sample up. Facebook followers may have seen a picture called "Camel Foot". This is who the foot belongs to - Crissy the Camel!
Funky Friends Factory - Crissy Camel Sample 03

Cloud needs to start planning for Christmas early (she's so slack) so it's a good thing she has made Crissy now. I think Crissy is pretty cute for all year round.

Crissy Camel by Funky Friends Factory

Holiday Happy Scattered Snowflakes by Happy Zombie for Lecien (body)

Cushion Making Extravaganza

We are both tired little bunnies today, on Friday night we were lucky enough to have our White on Black Gingham Invaded Cushion Cover was featured on two blogs:
Boing Boing

Our weekend became a cushion making extravaganza as we tried to keep up with demand. As a result we are now sold out of White on Black Gingham Invaded and will not be able to get any more for at least 4 weeks.

Never fear we still have the following colour ways still in stock:
Black on White
Red on Black
Red on White
Baby Blue on White
Baby Pink on White

Now back to sewing more cushion covers:)

My Creative Space

I started this cross stitch a few years ago now, last year my New Years resolution was to finish it, I failed.

I have had a renewed interest in cross stitch so I have a new goal of finishing this by October so I can go to the Quilting and Craft show and buy the second one in the set.
Here is a bit of an overview of my progress to date (please excuse the dodgy photo quality).

 Progress as of this week (almost 3/4 of the way through the cross stitching. YAY).

Progress as of the start of 2011

Progress at the start of 2010 year (look at how un-wrinkled the fabric is)

I'll try to post another update in a month or so.

In other news Cloud is learning to knit, photo evidence to come sometime in the next few weeks:)

Customer Project: Revamped High-Chair

I love it when our customers share with us what they make with our fabrics. This customer's project is an absolute cracker and I just had to share it with you all!

Kim and her husband found an old 60's style chrome high chair by the side of the road and picked it up to save it from the dump. Good thing they did because they restored it and it looks AMAZING!

The chrome was given a thorough polish and the seat was stripped back. Kim tried to hunt down some "funky vinyl" to reupholster the seat -with no luck. Instead, Kim and her hubby chose Bonehead in chocolate brown by Michael Miller from Voodoo Rabbit and I recommended that they use Heat n Bond vinyl to protect the fabric.

Here is the finished result! I think that the glossy Heat n Bond also makes the fabric look a treat with all the shiny chrome work (hubby would have been working for hours to clean that up).

Do you have a project that you used Voodoo Rabbit products for? You can share them with us via email ( or our Flickr group.

Thanks Kim for sending us the pictures of your finished high-chair. With out doubt this the best bit of recycling that I've seen in ages!

Easter Charity Drive / Giveaway

Japan is a place that is very close to our heart so Ky & I have decided that we wanted to help the people affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. We are also aware that there are still people suffering here in our own backyard of Queensland too and we don't want to forget them either.

To help out, we are offering up our very special Easter Bunny (made using a Funky Friends Factory pattern) and eggs to raise money for the Japanese Tsunami Appeal (run by the Red Cross) and also the Premier's Flood Appeal.

Here's all you have to do to enter the giveaway & help people in need at the same time ^_^

Step 1
Donate to one (or both) of the following charities:
Queensland Premier's Flood Appeal
Japanese Tsunami Appeal

Step 2
Leave a comment on this blog post and include your receipt number from your donation (you do not have to tell us how much you donated.) You can donate to one, or both charities - it's your choice. Each donation enters you into the draw to win - please leave a separate comment for each donation you make. Entries without a receipt number will not be counted!

The winner will be drawn using on Easter Sunday 24th April. Good luck & be generous!

- Cloud & Ky

Adds new functionality to the world generator. It automatically spawns various structures based on schematics during world generation on the server side. It works both with server and client-integrated server. Strutures can reach gigantic proportions and generates as quickly as possible. During the world exploration you can discover neatly pasted schematics that looks harmonically with environment. Any user can add arbitrary schematic to make it possible automatically appear in the world. Collected more than 2900+ great schematics and include them to standard mod releases. Mod config provides the ability to adjust spawn rates. There is possibility to generate villages constructed from schematic sets.

Elections Have Consequences

Paul Krugman
JAN. 4, 2016, NYT

You have to be seriously geeky to get excited when the Internal Revenue Service releases a new batch of statistics. Well, I’m a big geek; like quite a few other people who work on policy issues, I was eagerly awaiting the I.R.S.’s tax tables for 2013, which were released last week.

And what these tables show is that elections really do have consequences.

You might think that this is obvious. But on the left, in particular, there are some people who, disappointed by the limits of what President Obama has accomplished, minimize the differences between the parties. Whoever the next president is, they assert — or at least, whoever it is if it’s not Bernie Sanders — things will remain pretty much the same, with the wealthy continuing to dominate the scene. And it’s true that if you were expecting Mr. Obama to preside over a complete transformation of America’s political and economic scene, what he’s actually achieved can seem like a big letdown.

But the truth is that Mr. Obama’s election in 2008 and re-election in 2012 had some real, quantifiable consequences. Which brings me to those I.R.S. tables.

For one of the important consequences of the 2012 election was that Mr. Obama was able to go through with a significant rise in taxes on high incomes. Partly this was achieved by allowing the upper end of the Bush tax cuts to expire; there were also new taxes on high incomes passed along with the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare.

Microsoft and Google shake hands on new Windows Phone YouTube app arriving next month

Shortly after Microsoft released a YouTube app for Windows Phone, Google sent its Redmond rival a cease-and-desist letter telling Microsoft to pull the app due to API terms of usage violation.  Since then, the two have been hashing out an agreement behind closed doors and a Windows Phone YouTube app will be released again next month.

According to Microsoft, the last Windows Phone YouTube app was developed without any of Google’s input, and it was apparent by the cease-and-desist letter that the search giant wanted to get the most out of its YouTube platform.  Google’s main concern in the letter pointed to Microsoft’s lack of ad integration into the Windows Phone YouTube app.

“Microsoft and YouTube are working together to update the new YouTube for Windows Phone app to enable compliance with YouTube’s API terms of service, including enabling ads, in the coming weeks.  Microsoft will replace the existing YouTube app in Windows Phone Store with the previous version during this time,” Microsoft and Google said in a statement.

Both Microsoft and Google are competing in the mobile arena, smartphone in particular, and so far Google’s Android platform has landed one blow after another upon Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS.  YouTube is an extremely popular VoD platform, and Google is bent on monetizing upon its popularity.  By negating ads in its Windows Phone YouTube app, Microsoft essentially ripped out the money making mechanism that is behind YouTube.

For Windows Phone users, a dedicated YouTube app is more than a plus—it’s probably an essential for most WP users.  The IDC states that Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform posted the largest year-over-year gain over competitors such as iOS and Android, and retaining these new users will require a full-featured YouTube app instead of a browser redirect.

Virginia Tech team demonstrates state-of-the-art technology at global robotics competition

March 20, 2017

Virginia Tech's Team VICTOR celebrates during a portion of the Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge, held in Abu Dhabi.

Virginia Tech’s Team VICTOR competed against top universities in the international, inaugural Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge, held in Abu Dhabi March 16-18.

The $5 million competition aimed to catalyze the development of autonomous robotics. Virginia Tech’s Team VICTOR, housed in the Wendy and Norris E. Mitchell ’58 Robotics Laboratory, was one of 25 teams out of 143 applicants from around the world invited to compete, and one of 15 to be sponsored by Khalifa University, the competition organizer.

After three intensive days of competition, Team VICTOR ended with an eighth-place finish in the first challenge and a spot in the grand challenge competition of MBZIRC, where they were one of 14 teams with the opportunity to tackle several complex tasks at once.

“Now that we have demonstrated what our robots can do on a global stage, we are ready to transfer the technologies, especially to newly opening markets such as the robotic delivery business and the smart warehousing and manufacturing business,” said Tomonari Furukawa, a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and advisor to Team VICTOR. “We plan to open source the drones and mobile manipulator, because at the end of the day, we always aim to create technology that may benefit society.”

Virginia Tech was one of four American teams to compete, and one of two American teams that chose to participate in all four challenges, which required the use of both aerial and ground vehicles:

  • Challenge 1: the team’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had to locate, track and land on a moving vehicle
  • Challenge 2: the team’s unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) had to locate and reach a panel and physically operate a valve stem on the panel
  • Challenge 3: multiple UAVs had to collaboratively search, locate, track, pick up and place a set of static and moving objects
  • Grand challenge: complete all of the above at the same time

Team VICTOR fully designed their vehicles for the competition, including five unmanned aerial vehicles, nicknamed Bogey 1 through Bogey 5, and an unmanned ground vehicle nicknamed TREX.

“This was a great learning experience for all of us. Very few members of our team had robotics experience prior to this project but we were able to complete the challenge by working together,” said Jonathan Hodges, a doctoral student studying mechanical engineering. “Personally, seeing other teams compete and discussing their solutions helped me gain a greater understanding of the current state of robotics research.”

MBZIRC aimed to test the limits of autonomous robotics to inspire further development in the rapidly growing field. The technology demonstrated at the competition could be used in services like autonomous delivery, warehouse and industrial automation, improved search-and-rescue missions, transportation, and navigation.

The competition allowed for international collaboration and discussion, both before and during competition, where teams would swap tips, advice, and tools. Team VICTOR formed a partnership with University of Technology, Sydney last year to bring in their expertise in autonomous systems.

As part of the collaboration, UTS sent Janindu Arukgoda, a master’s student studying autonomous systems and robotics in UTS’ Centre for Autonomous Systems, to Virginia Tech in November 2016. Following the competition, Arukgoda returned to Australia.

“It has been an interesting period of time for me personally, working with experts from multiple domains, sharing knowledge, and learning from each other,” Arukgoda said. “This exposure gave me insight into the life and likes of American postgraduate students, and so many Hokies went out of their way to make me feel at home in Blacksburg.”

Team VICTOR was able to acquire the necessary equipment and travel to Abu Dhabi through sponsorships from MBZIRC competition organizer Khalifa University, Yoshimitsu Saito of NetSmile, the General Motors Foundation, and Virginia Tech.

Virginia Tech alumni and spouses Adam Rossi, a civil engineering major, and Laila Rossi, a business major, also contributed to the team on behalf of their venture capital and private equity company, Indie. The Rossis, also graduates of Pamplin College of Business’ M.B.A. program, attended the competition with their three children.

Through the sponsorships, ten graduate students were able to attend the competition abroad. In total, Team VICTOR was composed of about 20 people, including graduate students from mechanical, industrial and systems, aerospace and ocean, and electrical and computer engineering, and three undergraduate students from industrial and systems engineering and mechanical engineering. Additionally, the team collaborated directly with companies JENSEN HUGHES Inc. and Cowden Technologies LLC.

“I have had a great experience working with this dynamic and diverse team. Being a part of the team from the beginning, I have seen the robots getting built, broken and run,” said Urvi Desai, a master’s student studying electrical engineering who attended the competition in Abu Dhabi. “Being a part of this journey and watching some of the best robotic minds demonstrate their technology is going to be a lifelong memory.”

A squint at the world of
Low Frequency Radio

Not exactly LF related, but a jolly good wheeze. RTL-SDR is Software Defined Radio using a $20-ish USB dongle with a 'puter. How can you not?

Reducing Noise on Receive Antennas

Dusted off, topped and tailed this introductory guide I wrote 150 million years ago. Partially about searching-and-destroying the noise-makers, but mostly about how to do feedlines for most signal and least noise. It's under Reducing Noise.

Donner und Blitzen - getting very, very old . . .

Thunder and Lightning. Bad news for radio (ruins LF reception) and bad news for radios (smoke). Correspondingly, the monitoring and 'Grabulators' antennas will be unapologetically yanked if any storms threaten. Check the DCF-39 spectrogram for the noise level here, and of course the lightning plots, - if there are any blue blotches anywhere within propagational range, reception will be knackered.

Lightning - yes, a recurring theme!

Some near-real-time lightning plots, egregiously nicked from the University of Washington website, to which links are included for a highly recommended visit.

Near real-time signal-strength vs. time graphical display of the German LF (Low Frequency) data station 'DCF-39' on 139kHz as received in Pennsylvania. This is a useful guide to Transatlantic LF propagation.

No, not some evil new disease... Experimentally, the signal from a recently introduced power-system control data station in Hungary on 135.43kHz is being monitored and plotted here in Pennsylvania. The signal is similar to that from DCF-39 in Germany (which of course has been monitored here for some time). It is a Big Signal using a killer tower at Lakihegy, just outside Budapest. Presently the plots are being shown for direct comparison together with DCF-39.

'Part 5'

A number of US stations with FCC 'Part 5' (experimental / test&development) grants are operating on what, elsewhere in the world, is the 136kHz amateur band. A near-real-time spectrum monitor is running on Grabulator III / Live Part 5 covering the 'Watering Hole' (informal beaconing region) at around 137.780kHz. Some mighty big signals show up here! Wear shades: The colour scheme is, well, interesting . . .

'Argo' Live Captures - the 'Grabulator'

The 'Grabulator' is sitting continually monitoring the 185.300kHz 'Lowfer' 'watering hole' frequency, whilst a second ('Grabulator II') is tuned to whatever is of most immediate heart-fluttering interest, either on the 136kHz amateur band or in Lowfer-world.

There is also a rogue's gallery of earlier captures ranging from European transatlantic signals to "How many Lowfer signals can you cram in a 6Hz wide window?". (Answer: 11 so far. ) In particular, 'Decifer' (a thumbnail of which is to the right) is a stunning capture of ten Lowfers simultaneously.

The Best in the NBA

Before the season started I predicted that the Boston Celtics would defeat the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.  This prediction was motivated by two issues.

1. My forecast – which required that I guess how many minutes each player would play – indicated that Celtics were clearly the best team in the East and the Spurs were probably the best team in the West.

2. I thought it would be interesting if Bill Simmons – who argued last spring that Tim Duncan was clearly better than Kevin Garnett – got to root for KG and his Celtics against Duncan.

And of course, #2 was more important than #1. :)

Each Team at the 33% Mark

As I write, each team is about 1/3 of the way through the regular season.  And at this point, each team is currently the best in their respective conference.  As expected, the Celtics are clearly better than any team in the East.  And the Spurs are only slightly better than any team in the West.

On the surface it looks like each team is performing as we would expect given what the players on each team did last year.  But when we look at the current projection for each team this season – reported in Table One — we see that the Celtics look quite different from what we would have expected in October.

Table One: Projecting the Celtics and Spurs

Table One actually offers two projections of the Celtics and Spurs in 2007-08.  The first looks at how many wins we could expect if each player plays as well as he did last year. This is the same as the pre-season projection, except now we have a better idea of how many minutes each player is going to play. The second estimates how many wins each player will produce if he keeps playing as well as he has this season.

The Spurs Story

For the Spurs, each projection is basically the same.  Last year this team was led by Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, and Brent Barry.  This year, each of these players is again very productive.

The one surprise is Fabricio Oberto.  Last year he posted a 0.117 WP48 [Wins Produced per 48 minutes]; a mark that’s slightly above average.  This year his shooting efficiency and rebounds have increased while his turnovers have declined.  Consequently his WP48 has risen to 0.242.  Although his minutes are limited, this substantial increase in per-minute performance does improve the team.  And that improvement would show itself in the standings if this team could manage to stay healthy.  Unfortunately, each of the big four on this team has already missed a game.  If injuries continue to be a problem, the Spurs might have trouble reaching the Finals.

The Celtics Story

Beyond the play of Oberto, the Spurs of this year – when healthy — look very much like the Spurs of last year.  The same story cannot be told of the Celtics.

Last year the Celtics only won 24 games, the second worst mark in the Association.  In the off-season, though, the team added Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and James Posey; three players who were above average last year.  With this talent added to Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo, it was expected this team would rise to the top of the conference.

In fact it was expected that this team would be competitive with the defending champions. The Spurs projected wins – based on last year’s performance – was about 63 wins.  Given what Boston’s players did last year, we would expect this team to win about 64 games.   Again, this mark would just about match the Spurs and clearly lead the Eastern Conference.

Although the Celtics are clearly on top of the conference, the team has gone beyond leading the East to crushing the league. Boston has already matched last season’s victory total, winning 24 of its first 27 games.  Such a pace is consistent with a team winning 73 regular season games.  And when we look at efficiency differential – offensive efficiency minus defensive efficiency — the team looks even better.

The Bulls in 1995-96 won 72 games and posted a differential of 13.0.  This is the best mark in the league since 1973-74.  The Celtics currently have a differential of 14.9.  Yes, the current Celtics are posting a better mark than the team considered the best in NBA history.  To give this result even more perspective, the Spurs differential this season is 6.9 (which is very good).  Still the Spurs mark is only about half of what we see from Boston.

The Celtics efficiency differential, which is a mark outside of our previous observations of the NBA, gives us a wins projection that is – not surprisingly – also outside our previous observations.  Currently the Celtics are projected to win about 78 games. Given that this team has already lost three times, this projection is obviously too optimistic.

Before I get to what this means, let’s quickly review why the Celtics improved.  A big part of this improvement comes from the play of Kevin Garnett.  If Garnett repeated what he did last year in Minnesota, he would be posting a WP48 of 0.330 and be on his way to producing 19.9 wins.  Each of these marks is very good, yet short of what he is doing this year (0.405 WP48 and 24.4 projected wins).  Although we might see this as KG improving, it’s perhaps better to think of this as Garnett returning to what he was before the disaster that was 2006-07. If you recall, the Timberwolves changed coaches in the midst of last season in a vain hope of returning to the playoffs with Garnett.  As noted at the time, the talent around KG was simply not that good in Minnesota.  So playoff contention was not realistic.

Before the turmoil of last season, Garnett posted a 0.430 WP48 and produced 26.5 wins in 2005-06.  If Garnett repeated that performance this season, and no one else improved, the Celtics would be on pace to win about 70 games this season.

Of course, about 70 is not the same as 78.  When we look at Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo we see that what we saw last year is pretty much what we are seeing this year.  To see how the Celtics move from 70 to 78 projected wins, we have to turn to a player I didn’t think was going to help much, Eddie House.

Prior to this season, House had played seven NBA seasons for seven different teams.  Across this career he had never posted an above average WP48 and had only offered 2.5 Wins Produced.  This year, though, House has a much higher shooting efficiency, has grabbed more rebounds, and is getting more steals.  As a result, he has already produced about two wins and is on pace to produce over six for the season.

What Does 78 Mean?

Okay, so we see that Garnett and House have led this team from a projection of 64 to 78 wins. What exactly does a forecast of 78 wins mean?

Jason Eshleman – a UC Davis anthropologist who often leaves comments in this forum (and authored a post on the Rockets a few days ago) – often reminds people in the comments that you cannot evaluate models by considering events outside what the model considers possible.  In other words, it’s not important what Wins Produced tells us a team of Allen Iversons would do since we are never going to see an NBA team only employ a collection of speedy diminutive guards.

This lesson is important to remember when we look at the Celtics this year.  The model predicts that a team with an efficiency differential of 14.9 would win almost every game the team plays.  Clearly that’s not going to happen.  The Celtics have already lost three times.  Unfortunately, the data used to estimate the model did not include any team that was this much better than the Bulls of 95-96.  So we should not be shocked that an observation outside the data the model was based on would give us such an odd result.

That being said, the projection of the Celtics may not be that far off.  As noted, a 24-3 team is on pace to win 72 games.  If the model says 78, and the team wins 72, such an error is not really that large.

Let me close by noting that I am not sure the Celtics are going to win even 72 games.  The key players are still Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen.  And these players entered the season old and are not getting any younger.  An injury to any of these players would easily derail the Boston train.   Of course, without such an injury, this train is headed for this team’s first title since 1986.  Such a title would be sweet redemption for the much maligned Danny Ainge (general manager), Doc Rivers (head coach), and of course, Kevin Garnett.

South Wales Miners' Museum

Work has started on cataloguing the records of the South Wales Miners' Museum held by West Glamorgan Archive Service.

Located in Afan Argoed Country Park, the museum conveys the history of the South Wales coal mining industry and its workforce. The demise of heavy industry in Wales left many areas affected and the identity of these communities are often still shaped by their industrial legacy. The South Wales Miners' Museum developed from concern over the rehabilitation of the Afan Valley after mining had ceased in 1970, and a wish to commemorate this industrial past. The museum opened in 1976, and was recently refurbished. It relies heavily on a dedicated team of volunteers and public donations.

In 2001, recognising that storage conditions in the Museum were not suitable, the archive and photographic collections were deposited with West Glamorgan Archive Service. Along with the administrative records of the museum, the collection includes documents from the area’s collieries and other papers donated by the local community.

Cataloguing these records will open up another collection highlighting Wales’s proud industrial past. The records will compliment, in particular, the other coal mining industry collections (Emlyn Colliery and Brickworks and Powell Duffryn Limited) from the Powering the World project. It will also enable West Glamorgan Archive Service (working with Neath Port Talbot Cultural Services) to create a profile showcasing some of the highlights on the People’s Collection Wales (

I LOVE MUSIC DON'T YOU? or, where are my pants?

have you seen my pants?

today for me was one of those days where you're in a schmediocre mood and music makes the world beautiful again.

we played a guitarist-less show in Indy last night which actually went great, ran into the AMAZING RIDICULOSO Caleb Hawley who somehow opened for us? but for whatever reason i was being a poop-face on the way back, and Vampire Weekend and Beach House and Bootsy Collins brought the planet back.

where are my pants?

recently and Gaia Theory

played this past weekend in Cinci and at Kenyon for the first time in months and months! met wonderful people as usual, had a great time playing with OH bands Founding Fathers and Bonneville.

we'll be playing again in Cincinnati on Saturday, Feb 27 at Mayday, a stylish bar in Northside. the event is part of a monthly music series called Earthquakes hosted by DJ Ken Bruns specifically fo' dancing. so bring yo dancing shoes. music starts at 10pm with local killers Charlie Hustle, and we'll go on at 11. the show is freefreefree!

the night before (Friday, Feb 26) i'll also be doing a performance at the new Clifton Performance Theater, playing some solo material, some Walk material, and taking a little time to talk about the music and why it's written the way it is. that'll be all ages so bring your fam and i'll kiss your babies. 7:30pm, 404 Ludlow.

meanwhile, i've been thinking a lot about our mother Earth and how we have made so much progress as a civilization, but almost always at the cost of somehow harming our planet. there's a theory i think is really fantastic called Gaia Hypothesis which describes Earth as a single, unified organism. how fascinating that all of Earth's life lives in balance with Earth's resources except humans...

we've created this man-made world that takes from the planet so much more than it gives, and yet we couldn't know all the amazing things we know about Earth without having come so far in science, technology, etc.

i dunno =) just been thinking.

what do you think?

always music playing at

The Single Best Strategy To Use For laptop screen repairs

Many laptops, however, do have some age upon them, and quite predictably they are doing get the tendency to break down, as well as have things eventually them. When these events occur choices really need to be made in regards to what things to use moving forward.

Once you take your laptop in a facility for repair, you should certainly have your laptop diagnosed free of charge, after which be provided a fair and honest quote to fix anything they say is wrong. This is really the only way that you could make a decision of any kind as to if you intend to move ahead in getting your repair made, or if you need to move on to another option.

Five Good Reasons To Trust A Specialist With Laptop Repairs

Similarly, trying to save money by deciding on a service that dramatically underbids its competitors will rarely pay off. Such services generally are just able to manage to make such low bids because they offer rock-bottom service.

Simply running an OS without having other programs can lead your laptop malfunctioning, which results in a desire for laptop repairs. Analyze the CPU and RAM seen on your laptop and make sure all you run works with those numbers.

You must also take cost into consideration, which is why it is usually a great idea to solicit estimates from multiple services. While there could be some variation over these quotes, you do not would like to wind up paying two or three times just as much as the competition for service that is certainly no better.

You’ll want to learn just a little about laptop repairs in the event you or someone you knows has these kinds of computer. That’s because laptops are prone to breaking often. These people have a great deal of small parts, plus they have screens that happen to be notoriously weak when it comes to any sort of trauma that could come to them.

Give consideration whenever you go to the shop and see what sort of impression you might have. Is everything clean and well-organized, or perhaps is the shop dusty and there are piles of cables and components everywhere? Does someone greet you courteously, or do you have to cough loudly to obtain the attention of any surly technician?

Search for a reliable laptop repair service in the area in case you have a problem with your personal computer. Most repair professional will provide you with a diagnosis plus a quote for the small fee. After that you can decide regardless of whether it makes it worth while to possess your pc fixed. Seeking to fix your laptop on your own can be quite frustrating and you will not get great results, specifically if you lack experience in relation to working with electronics. It is recommended to trust a person who has many years of expertise and experience within this field to acquire your laptop fixed.

Think about whether or not you are likely to have the capacity to do this repair safely. The situation with a bit of people is they enter into fixing computers with all the assumption they are able to just begin to take it apart and this will be simple to have everything into position again later. If you’re not being safe, like grounding yourself therefore you don’t shock the motherboard, you could turn out doing more damage than good. If you’re not really sure of what you are actually doing either watch a number of tutorials or receive an expert to aid.

Dollar Soars as FOMC Minutes Trigger Liquidation

Despite false rallies in the currency market, I have stressed that there is no reason for the liquidation to be over. I warned that the currency and stock market rallies were a mirage rather than a bottom and now, the pessimistic tone of the FOMC minutes has forced another wave of liquidation.

Tuesday’s rebound in risk appetite was short-lived as the FOMC minutes revealed that the contraction in the US economy could last well into the summer of 2009.

In light of the 400 point drop in the Dow, the US dollar and Japanese Yen regained strength as repatriation and risk aversion continues to drive demand for the low yielders. The greenback’s recent strength can be most clearly seen in USD/CHF, which hit a fresh 14 month high today.

As we predicted, the FOMC minutes was the trigger for a major move in the currency market. However the moves that we have seen today need to be sustained before we can see a more meaningful breakout of the recent consolidation that we have seen across the currency market.

Something more powerful such as a decision on bailing out the automakers, next week’s GDP report or another surprising abysmal loss in the corporate or financial sector may be needed before we see new trends develop.

FOMC Minutes Confirms that More Rate Cuts Needed

The tone in the FOMC minutes, like the tone of Bernanke’s testimony yesterday was unmistakably dovish. The members of the monetary policy committee lowered their growth and inflation forecasts, talked about the downside risks to growth and how the contraction in the US economy will not temper until the middle 2009, at the earliest. Some members of the committee even openly discussed the need for further rate cuts, which confirms that rates will be lowered again in December. The Fed feels frustrated that interest rates are closing in on zero and acknowledged that it leaves them with little room to maneuver. Fed fund futures are pricing in a 50bp rate cut with a minor chance of a 75bp cut to 0.25 percent. If the Fed cuts interest rates by 50bp and the US economy fails to recover, their credibility will go out the window as the market questions their ability to tap other tools to stimulate the economy.

Automakers, Philly Fed and Leading Indicators

The Big 3 Automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) were on Capitol Hill today pleading for a bailout. Although a bailout of the automobile industry is inevitable in our opinion, it remains to be seen whether lawmakers will act quickly. The longer this drags out, the more pain it will cause for US equities.

As we hold our breath for a decision, the Philadelphia Fed survey of manufacturing conditions and leading indicators are due for release tomorrow. The Empire State manufacturing survey held steady, which suggests the same for the Philadelphia Fed index. However we still believe that the manufacturing sector is suffering significantly from the global slowdown which means that the odds are skewed towards weaker numbers. There is no question that leading indicators will be weak with stocks, supplier deliveries and jobless claims all printing poorly in the month of October.

Keeping Fuji at Outperform

We maintain our Outperform recommendation on Fujifilm Holdings Corporation (FUJIY) based on its strong business and expansion strategy into wider marketswith innovative products. We believe this will provide greater momentum to the stock.

Fuji’s cost and expense reduction techniques and its acquisition strategy will boost both top-line and bottom-line results.

Fuji initiated cost and expense reduction techniques to improve its profitability. During fiscal 2010, the company recorded a 12% decrease in total cost and expenses. However, during the first half of fiscal 2011, it recorded a marginal 0.6% decrease in total expense.

Although the decrease was insignificant, the company is trying to curtail costs, which is encouraging. Moreover, new high-quality products at much reduced costs will prove profitable in future.

The company has been growing through acquisitions, especially in the medical imaging business. Recently, its Brazilian unit acquired NDT Comercial Ltda, a Sao Paulo-based provider of medical product sales services.

Some of its earlier acquisitions were Graphischer Dienst Diemer & Koch GmbH, a Bielefeld-based provider of graphic design services and the remaining interest in Fujinon Toshiba ES Systems Co Ltd, a marketer of medical equipment, from Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. The strategy to grow through acquisitions will bear fruit.

Fuji’s various structural reforms are yet another reason for its ADRs to outperform. Recently, the company introduced ROA-based indicators to improve efficiency of its asset and capital utilization by reducing fixed assets and inventories.

Management expects its ROA to more than double from 2.1% in fiscal 2010 to approximately 5.0% in fiscal 2012. ROE is expected to be 7.0% at the end of fiscal 2010. The restructuring programs would prove to be quite beneficial for the company in the long term considering the clear signs of recovery in each business segment.

Moreover, gradual market improvement is expected to have a significant positive impact on the operating results in the future. Thus, for fiscal 2011, management is expecting a 9% increase in revenue and expects the company to report operating income of $120 million from a loss of $42.1 million in fiscal 2010. The ADR currently retains its Zacks #2 Rank (short term Buy rating).

BASE: Warriors Split Saturday Doubleheader With Madonna

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech baseball team used a three-run sixth to earn a come-from-behind victory in the final game of the four-game series to earn a split with the Crusaders of Madonna on Saturday at Warriors Stadium. The Warriors dropped game one, 2-1, before taking the second, 6-4.

The first game of the afternoon played out much like the first game of the series as a pitching duel between Madonna’s right-hander, Evan Piechota (4-3), and Tech’s freshman righty, Jared Harvey (1-3), took center stage.

The Crusaders (22-20, 9-12) scored in the first inning for the second time, but it was unearned as the Warriors committed their seventh error of the series, allowing Shane Dokey to score from second. Brian Hakes cut down a runner attempting to steal second to end the inning.

Neither team did much again until the fourth when the Tech defense committed two more errors, leading to the Crusaders second run of the game.

The Orange and Black’s only run of the contest came much the same way it did in game one on Friday, as Hakes doubled down the left field line and his courtesy runner, Tyler Denniston, eventually scored on a wild pitch two batters later, making it 2-1.

Tech had its best chance to tie the score in the eighth when a fielding error allowed Bryan Brudi to reach and Justin Kalusa advanced to third, however, the senior centerfielder was thrown out trying to score on the play.

Harvey scattered six hits over eight innings, allowing two unearned runs while striking out five. TJ Lutz finished the game with a scoreless ninth. On the other side, Piechota allowed six hits in his nine innings, allowing one run while striking out eight, finishing with 147 pitches.

Brudi and Hakes each tallied two hits to lead the Warriors.

The final game of the series took a pair of comebacks for the Warriors in order to earn the victory.

Brian Gremaux got the start for Tech and he breezed through the first two innings, but wasn’t able to escape a one-out, bases loaded jam as a fielder’s choice, a single and a failed pickoff plated three runs for the visitors.

The freshman right-hander bounced back with a scoreless fourth and the offense went to work. Wes Darrow started the inning with a single and moved to third on a Kalusa double and a walk to Brudi loaded the bases. Romer Portes followed with a bases clearing double and should have been a triple, but was called out at third, despite beating the throw. It did tie the score though at three.

The Warriors had a chance to break the game open one inning later, but stranded the bases loaded and the Crusaders took advantage. Madonna used a one-out error and a pair of hits to plate the go-ahead run and end Gremaux’s day. Curtis Wise was called in from the bullpen and stranded two runners with a strike out and an infield fly out.

In the bottom of the frame, Tech was able to win the game, scoring three runs on four hits. Portes doubled to right center to lead off the inning, advancing to third on a fly out and scoring on a single from Hakes. Another single and a walk loaded the bases again and Darrow delivered the game-winner with a two-run single through the right side for the 6-4 win.

Wise vultured his sixth win of the season from Gremaux, as he tossed 1 2/3 innings of perfect baseball. Gremaux allowed four runs, three earned, on six hits over 5 1/3 innings for the no decision.

Portes led the offense with a 2-for-3 game, scoring once and driving in three while Darrow added two hits and also scored once, driving in two.

The Warriors will play a non-conference contest on Tuesday, Apr. 22 as they host Trine for a single, nine-inning contest. First-pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m

Thousands mass for Kashmir separatist rally, crying 'freedom': AFP

Thousands mass for Kashmir separatist rally, crying 'freedom'
August 22, 2008, AFP

SRINAGAR, India (AFP) — Hundreds of thousands of people massed in Indian Kashmir's main city on Friday to demand "azadi" or freedom and protest against New Delhi's rule in the second major demonstration this week.

"The rally is to show to the world that we are against India's occupation of Kashmir," said separatist leader Shabir Shah, who has spent more than 20 years in Indian jails.

Protesters began marching from early morning toward the site of the rally, the "Martyrs' Cemetery" where many of those killed in the nearly two-decade-old revolt against New Delhi's rule are buried.

The demonstrators, carrying black and green flags symbolising Islam and mourning, shouted "azadi." Many banners had "Allahu akbar" ("God is greater") written in white Arabic letters.

The huge turnout showed that Kashmiris "want to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination" through a referendum, moderate separatist Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said.

Arundhati slammed for demanding Kashmir’s freedom
By Jawed Naqvi, Dawn, August 22, 2008

NEW DELHI, Aug 21: The Indian government on Thursday slammed writer Arundhati Roy for her comments in Srinagar where she reportedly demanded “azadi” for Kashmir during a rally at the UN office.

“It is preposterous for anyone to say so. It deserves to be rejected with contempt,” Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma said.

“We are a constitutional democracy and what is against the constitution has to be strongly condemned. One must remember in our country, there is room for all shades of opinion. But India’s territorial integrity is not negotiable.”

India’s main political parties — the BJP and the Congress party — lashed out at Ms Roy for her comments, of which newspapers circulated several versions. One of them reported that the Booker Prize winner Roy, who was present at the massive Monday rally, said the people of Kashmir had made themselves abundantly clear.

“And if no one is listening then it is because they don’t want to hear. Because this is a referendum. People don’t need anyone to represent them; they are representing themselves. As somebody who has followed people’s movements and who has been in rallies and at the heart or the edge of things, I don’t think you can dispute what you see here,” she was quoted as saying.

She was also quoted as saying that “since the 1930s, there have been debates and disputes about who has the right to represent the Kashmiri people, whether it was Hari Singh or Sheikh Abdullah or someone else. And the debate continues till today whether it is the Hurriyat or some other party.”

Then she added, “But I think today the people have represented themselves.”

Ms Roy apparently concluded thus: “India needs azadi from Kashmir as much as Kashmir needs azadi from India.”

Congress spokesperson Abdhishek Singhvi reacted by saying India would not compromise on an inch of its territorial integrity. “To put it mildly, it is utter nonsense. To provoke people and make such irresponsible statements will not be tolerated.”

BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar described Ms Roy’s statement as “outrageous”. “This is outrageous. This is against national spirit and nationalism. She is attacking the integrity of the country. This is nothing short of sedition,” he said adding that the country did not approve of her stand.

Ms Roy’s defiant political positions had once landed her in Tihar jail, after she preferred imprisonment in lieu of apologising to the apex court for alleged contempt of court.

is this India's Darfur?
Anonymous said…
No it isnt.It is just a few extremists , (who are funded and trained by the ISI and other elements within the Pakistani Govt), causing trouble. Thats it, nothing more.
Arundhati Roy is a fool. remember this is a woman who claims that there were no Al Qaeda types involved in the 9/11 attacks - that Jews were responsible those attacks.
its easier to blame everything on al kaida and ISI. Perhaps anonymous lives in a fool's paradise him/herself. Kashmir is India's Darfur and Tibet all packaged in one.
