LeBron James Is the King of Elimination Games
The Cavs are down 3-2, but history suggests James is better than any player in history with his back against the wall

Share All sharing options for: LeBron James Is the King of Elimination Games
After arguably his worst performance in a big game in seven years, LeBron James once again finds himself with his back against the wall. Fittingly, it's happening against Boston, his opponent for several of his most important playoff moments to date. However, this time it feels like there's less at stake in terms of LeBron's legacy than there has been in the past. There's good reason for this. In the eight years since he was last eliminated from the postseason by the Celtics, James has made seven straight NBA Finals, and won three championship rings, three NBA Finals MVPs, and two regular-season MVPs. Statistically, he's become the NBA's all-time postseason leader in scoring, steals, win shares, and value over replacement player, and he's surpassed Michael Jordan in buzzer-beating playoff game-winners.

Haters will say LeBron is merely a compiler, a rich man's Karl Malone whose legacy is built upon awesome accumulation rather than dominance. You would be right to point out that LeBron will end up with a massive advantage in career counting stats over Jordan because of the early start to his career and Jordan's multiple retirements. Jordan and LeBron have both played 15 NBA seasons, but LeBron has already played 71 more regular-season games and 54 more playoff games. (There's also the fact two of Jordan's 15 seasons came with below-.500 Wizards teams as he played past the age of 40.)
But James is so much more than that. Small sample sizes be damned, the greatest players show up in the biggest games. And in these big games—which I'm defining here as playoff games that would result in the player's season being over with a loss—James has been the greatest player in NBA history.
Heading into Friday's Game 6 in Cleveland against the Celtics, LeBron has won 12 of the 21 playoff elimination games his teams have faced, while averaging 33.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and a 57.6 true shooting percentage. Those 33.5 points are the most any player in NBA history has averaged when facing playoff elimination (minimum three games, since Anthony Davis now has 70 total points in two elimination games). Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain, the two greatest scorers in NBA history, are second and third on that list, at 31.3 and 31.1, respectively.
Excellence in the most crucial circumstances has not always been part of the LeBron narrative. James left Cleveland for Miami in the summer of 2010, in the wake of a disappointing playoff flameout against the Celtics in which the favored Cavaliers blew a 2-1 series lead. Many felt that James checked out in the final three games (even though he posted 27 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists in the series-ending Game 6). The Decision made him the NBA's no. 1 villain. Schadenfreude ran rampant when his first Heat team was defeated by the Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals. The loss represented the nadir of his professional career. But it was also a turning point.
Since posting just 21 points, four rebounds, and six assists (on a measly 15 field goal attempts and four free throw attempts) in the final game of the 2011 Finals, LeBron has faced elimination 13 times (not including Friday). He's gone 10-3 in these games, with averages of 35.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and a 60.7 true shooting percentage.
It all started with a 2012 visit to Boston (the team that had eliminated James in 2008 and 2010) for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Heat had dropped three straight, wasting a 2-0 series lead in the process. LeBron scored 45 points on 19-for-26 shooting in a win against the Celtics and never looked back. He's attempted more than 20 field goals in 12 of his 13 elimination games since 2012, and took 16 free throws the one time he failed to reach 20 attempts from the floor. He's scored 40-plus in four of the games, and was over 30 for seven of the others. His lowest output in this stretch was a 27-point triple-double in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals as his team completed the greatest comeback in Finals history against the 73-win Warriors. LeBron has been simply unstoppable.
For perspective on LeBron's greatness in elimination games, check out how he compares against the 12 greatest players in NBA history, per Bill Simmons's Hall of Fame Pyramid in 2010's The Book of Basketball:
LeBron vs. the Pyramid
TS%
LeBron James 33.5 10.8 7.3 57.6 12-9
Michael Jordan 31.3 7.9 7 53.7 6-7
Bill Russell 14.9 26.6 4.8* 49.4 17-2
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 25.3 12.2 3.8 55.2 11-12
Magic Johnson 20.6 8 12.3 56.2 6-7
Larry Bird 23.3 10.7 6.1 51.9 15-9
Wilt Chamberlain 31.1 25.7 3.5 54.2 12-11
Tim Duncan 22.3 11.5 2.8 54 8-13
Kobe Bryant 22.3 5.8 3.5 50.3 9-10
Jerry West 29.3 6.4 6.4** 56 13-11
Oscar Robertson 25.2 7.7 8.9 52.2 6-9
Shaquille O'Neal 25.3 10.9 2 57.4 6-12
Hakeem Olajuwon 24 11.5 3 56 19-13
*MISSING ONE GAME OF ASSIST DATA
**MISSING TWO GAMES OF ASSIST DATA
NOTE: West played one minute before breaking his hand in one of his games. If you ignore that game, he averaged 30.6 PPG in these games.
As previously stated, LeBron is tops in scoring. But the incredible thing is that he's also the most efficient shooter of the bunch, with a 57.6 true shooting percentage. His rebounding average ranks only behind a roll call of the greatest centers in NBA history, while his assist average trails only Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson. Wilt Chamberlain is the only player who you could argue has a better set of statistics in these games, but the only stat in which he bests LeBron here is rebounds.
Game score, a statistic created by John Hollinger, assigns a single value to each individual performance in a given game based on player box-score statistics. It's scaled to be somewhat similar to points, so the best players routinely have game scores in the 20s. Full box-score data isn't available until the 1983-84 season, but since then, LeBron has the best average game score in elimination games (again aside from Anthony Davis, who has played two such games).
Best Average Game Score When Facing Elimination
Players Who Debuted Since 1983-84 (Min. 10 Games)
LeBron James 26.8*
Michael Jordan 23.3
Russell Westbrook 22.1
Dirk Nowitzki 21.4
Charles Barkley 20.8
*30.8 in last 13 games
(While game score does a great job of measuring box-score impact, one argument against it is it doesn't adequately punish low-efficiency "chuckers" and favors accumulation. This is evident in the way that it values Russell Westbrook so highly.)
Two factions are always vocal anytime LeBron's legacy comes up: Jordan fans and Kobe fans. The Jordan fans will rightfully point out that of Michael's 13 elimination games, 10 of them came before he ever won a title and only two of them came during his championship runs. On the other hand, Jordan was a dominant force from the moment he entered the league. It'd be nice to have a larger sample of games from him, but it's not like we're cherry-picking from bad seasons.
As for Kobe, he averaged more than 10 fewer points per game, with a true shooting percentage more than 7 percentage points worse than LeBron in these games. His average game score of 13.5 pales in comparison to the likes of Derrick Coleman (18.1) and Luol Deng (14.6). Even if you ignore Kobe's two elimination games when he was still a rookie backup, his average game score bumps up to just 14.7, making him the equal of Alonzo Mourning.
"My motivation is this ghost I'm chasing," James told Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins in the summer of 2016. That ghost still wears twice as many rings, but James has chased down many of MJ's records and is on track to run down many others. "[If] I can ever put myself in position to be the greatest player, that would be something extraordinary," James also told Jenkins. It's difficult to project if Cleveland's season will survive past Friday's Game 6, but history shows we can expect "something extraordinary" from James.

Northumberland Mam: Glam Goo - Fantasy Slime Pack - Review!
Over the past month or so we have tried out a couple of Glam Goo sets. First was the Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack and then the Glam Goo Confetti Accessory Pack.
We were lucky to be sent another accessory pack to try out. The Glam Goo - Fantasy Slime Pack. I say we but it was all for Ellie....She is still crazy about slime!!
Make slime fashionable with Glam Goo! Start with clear slime, mix in sparkles, fill your accessories and wear!
The fantasy theme pack comes with two wearable slime accessories. A heart necklace and a rainbow charm.
There is of course a tub of Glam Goo (clear slime), three slime decorations. Mermaid Wishes, Cosmic Dust, and Unicorn Fuzz, two shimmer colours. Mint Skies and Magic Hour and one scent. Rose Mist.
She played with this set for at least a couple of hours and has been back to it again and again! I don't think she will ever get sick of slime.
All of the Glam Goo sets we have tried have been fantastic and this one is no different. Ellie has loved each and every one including this one.
You can buy the Glam Goo - Fantasy Slime Pack from Smyths for £14.99. I would say it is well worth the money for the enjoyment my girl got from it.
We were sent the Glam Goo - Fantasy Slime Pack free of charge in exchange for this blog post.
I must admit I'm pleased that slime isn't a thing in my house!

'Red is colour of change', Akhilesh hits back at Modi
New Delhi, Dec 8, 2021- Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Lal Topi" comment, saying that the colour of the cap has reached Delhi and hence the panic has engulfed the BJP's rank and file.
Akhilesh Yadav spoke on several issues, including the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls due early next year.
Q. Prime Minister Modi has said that you people yearn for only power. What is your reaction?
A. Red colour symbolises revolution, a change. This is also the colour of emotions. BJP does not understand sentiments. Red colour is the most vibrant colour and warns the party in power to be careful. The people of Uttar Pradesh want a change. The brightness of Lal Topi has reached Delhi, so the language of the BJP has also changed as they are panicky. Changes are bound to happen in the state.
Q. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been taking a dig at the red colour cap and now the Prime Minister has also targeted you.
A. This must have happened for the first time that the Prime Minister has spoken the language of the Chief Minister by rote.
Q. You are continuously claiming to win the upcoming elections, but the BJP is saying that they have defeated you three times in a row — in 2014, 2017 and 2019.
A. Circumstances have changed now. This time, BJP is nervous — farmers, youth, traders and people of the state will show them their real power.
Q. The PM is constantly laying foundation stones and inaugurating events in Uttar Pradesh, what do you have to say?
A. The advertisements they are putting out are false, their development claims are false. They stole a picture of Bengal, of America and of China. Their development claims are hollow.
Q. How many seats are you going to win?
A. The BJP will be wiped out from the state. (Agency)

Before the ICC Champions Trophy many teams will make their way to england a few days before and they will be involved in the Warm up matches or small ODI series, in Pakistan case they will be playing 2 matches each against Scotland and Ireland, is it a good idea to play against minnows of cricket before the big competition I am not sure, but they will get use to English conditions.
PAKISTAN VS IRELAND 2ND MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
None of the TV Channels are showing the match live, But short highlights from the match as available with results of the matches..
Broadcasting TV Channels Pakistan Ireland 2013

Pakistan will be play two matches against Scotland and the first one will be on 17th May 2013 which will start at around 9:45 GMT and you can tune in here to watch the live action of the whole match here, we will be placing live streaming of the match 10 minutes before the start of the match so you can see the toss and than the 100 overs of cricket on the day.
Pakistan will be hoping to get a some solid wins against Scotland and Ireland before the ICC Champions Trophy gets underway to give themselves some chance in the difficult to adjust wickets in United Kingdom. They have gone with a very defensive batting lineup, and their main asset is their bowling which they relay on so heavily.
Player to watch out For
Pakistan did not include Shahid Afridi and Umar Akmal in the 15 man squad for the Champions Trophy, so it will be interesting to see what kind of frame of mind they will go into the matches, with a little bit of defensive approach already when they announced the 15 man squad.
Junaid Khan – Left Arm fast Bowler:
Pakistan always had some great fast bowlers in their squad and with Junaid Khan and Irfan khan they have two very good attack bowlers who can take wickets and do great things in English conditions, specially Junaid Khan who is left arm fast bowler, who can swing the ball and in UK pitches will suit him that is why he is our player to watch out for.

Q: Passing in double pointer as params in C Let's say there is an API as follows:
void myAPI(int8** ptr)

If I want to pass a pointer of a struct into this function this is my code:
typedef myStruct {
    int a;
};

myStruct *ptr = NULL;
memset(ptr, 0, sizeof(myStruct));

myAPI((int8**)&ptr);

My question is what if instead of using ptr I now have the following?
myStruct myStruct_info;
memset(&myStruct_info, 0, sizeof(myStruct));

Would I also be doing myAPI((int8**)&myStruct_info)?

A: Would I also be doing myAPI((int8**)&myStruct_info)?

Short answer is no you can not.
&myStruct_info is the address of your myStruct_info variable.
And the parameter for your myAPI function needs the address of a pointer to a variable.
If you say int8 ** a = (int8**)&myStruct_info; then:
a - holds the address of myStruct_info
*a - the value of myStruct_info

and
**a - means that you take the value stored in myStruct_info and use it as a pointer - REALLY BAD -

The Regulation of America
We're becoming a severely regulated country, and it's coming on the heels of President Obama's promise to
find rules that put an unnecessary burden on businesses [and] fix them
which he made in his 2011 State of the Union address and which he committed to writing in his Executive Order 13563 the week prior, which requires all executive branch agencies to "identify and consider regulatory approaches that reduce burdens."
This also is symptomatic of what's wrong with our present administration.
This exchange between Congressman Corey Gardner (R, CO) and EPA Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus at a House Environment and the Economy Subcommittee hearing demonstrates just how seriously Obama and his agencies take his promises:
Corey: Is it standard procedure for an economic analysis to ignore the impact on jobs?
Stanislaus: Well, we didn't do a direct analysis, again we sought—
Corey: So you did not do a direct economic analysis?
Stanislaus: Well we did do an economic analysis on [various areas]
Corey: But not a cost on jobs?
Stanislaus: Not directly.
The entire five minutes of the video consists of variations of this exchange wherein Corey kept trying to pin down Stanislaus on whether the EPA satisfies its statutory requirement to do a jobs impact analysis as part of its rules economic analysis and Stanislaus' constant evasion and finally admission that the EPA does not. The rules, as rules, are more important than working Americans, more important than their effects on our country.
As the Heritage Foundation points out, since January 2009, 106 new "major" regulations have been enacted, costing us $46 billion, plus almost $11 billion more in implementation costs: Obama has become the biggest regulator in American history. Dodd-Frank has generated the most regulations, and with the CFPB, these are the least accountable. The EPA, though, is enacting the most expensive, with just four rules costing us $4 billion per year. And this is before the closure of gasoline refineries in the Northeast—which will force New York, for instance, to import expensive foreign gasoline to make up the shortfall—and electric power generating plants throughout the already economic and employment challenged rust belt—which will drive up power costs for those hard-pressed businesses and citizens.
On the financial side beyond Dodd-Frank, the government is reaching directly inside our businesses to dictate to them what they can and cannot do with their own business assets. Illustrative of this is the Federal Reserve Bank's decision to not allow Citibank to return capital to its owners through increased dividends and stock buy-backs. The Fed said Citi couldn't handle it. The Fed said that, not the bank's owners. The bank's owners said otherwise but were casually overruled.
There's a rather naked conflict of interest here for a government as prone to expand our national debt as this one is. As Alex Pollock, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and past president and CEO of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, points out:
…governments promote loans to governments. They have an obvious self-interest in promoting loans to themselves and to other governments they wish to help or influence. Banks are extremely vulnerable to pressure from governments—the more regulated they are, the more vulnerable. Employees of government bureaucracies have an incentive to encourage loans to their political employers—an inherent conflict of interest.
But never mind about petty conflicts of interest. It's this way because the Progressives don't believe we're able to take care of our own affairs. Instead, we must be told what to do, have our courses of action limited—for our own good—by our Betters. And for their political gain.

The , or the Sankoku (三国) for short, is a general-purpose Japanese dictionary. It is closely affiliated with another contemporary dictionary published by Sanseidō, the Shin Meikai kokugo jiten.

The Sanseidō kokugo jiten has been revised about once a decade.
1960, 1st edition
1974, 2nd edition
1982, 3rd edition
1992, 4th edition
2001, 5th edition
2007, 6th edition
2014, 7th edition
2021, 8th edition
Japanese linguist and lexicographer Kenbō Hidetoshi (見坊豪紀, 1914-1992) was chief editor of the first four editions. Among his prominent coeditors, Kindaichi Kyōsuke (金田一京助, 1882-1971), his son Kindaichi Haruhiko (金田一春彦, 1913-2004), and Yamada Tadao (山田忠雄, 1916-1996) began with the 1st edition; Shibata Takeshi (柴田武) with the 2nd; Hida Yoshifumi (飛田良文) with the 4th; and Ichikawa Takashi (市川孝) began editing with the 5th edition Sanseidō kokugo jiten. Several of these lexicographers worked together on a predecessor Sanseido dictionary, the Meikai kokugo jiten (明解国語辞典). Kenbō began working with its chief editor Kindaichi Kyōsuke on the 1st edition (1943) and was an editor on the 2nd edition (1952).

In 1959, Sanseido placed Kenbō in charge of the Sanseidō kokugo jiten, and subsequently put Yamada in charge of the comparatively larger Shin Meikai kokugo jiten (1972 … 2005). The 1st edition Sanseidō kokugo jiten (1960) had 57,000 headwords, while the 2nd-5th editions increased the numbers to 62,000 (1974), 65,000 (1982), 73,000 (1992), and 76,000 (2001) respectively.

Emphasizing contemporary usage is one of Sanseidō kokugo jiten'''s most significant contributions to modern Japanese lexicography. Many traditional Japanese dictionaries copy usage examples from earlier dictionaries, often taken from Classical Japanese language sources. When Kenbō Hidetoshi began compiling the 1st edition, he started collecting Japanese word usages from newspapers, magazines, and broadcasts, which he would write on cards. By the time he died, he had recorded some 1,400,000 usage example cards.

The Sanseidō kokugo jiten is known for including neologisms, katakana loanwords, and informal expressions. Tom Gally, a Japanese translator and lexicographer, gives this evaluation:

Like the other Sanseidou dictionaries, this one has a strong contemporary emphasis and shows the influence of its late editor's renowned citation collecting. The entries include many colloquialisms that were missed or ignored by other lexicographers.

Three weeks post-lineup announcement, Bonnaroo 2021 is sold out
Dave Paulson
Nashville Tennessean
In case you were wondering just how ready Bonnaroovians are to return to "The Farm" in Manchester, Tenn., here's your answer. The 2021 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is already sold out.
Organizers made the announcement Tuesday afternoon — just three weeks after revealing this year's lineup and putting tickets on sale.
From one point of view, it's the fastest sellout in Bonnaroo history, but some sales came from those who bought tickets to the canceled 2020 festival and rolled them over to 2021.
In 2020, the pandemic forced organizers to postpone that year's festival from June to September before ultimately canceling.
This year, they planned for a September event from the beginning, and brought back many of the artists originally booked in 2020 (Lizzo, Tame Impala, Lana Del Rey and Megan Thee Stallion) along with new additions (Foo Fighters, Tyler The Creator).
Other big acts include Lil Baby, Run The Jewels, Janelle Monáe, Phoebe Bridgers, deadmau5, G-Eazy, Jack Harlow, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit and Brittany Howard.
The 2021 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is scheduled to take place September 2 through 5, but first, seven standalone concerts are planned for "The Bonnaroo Farm" in May and June, including Jason Aldean and The Avett Brothers.


Massachusetts drunk driving bill doesn't progress | Anthony M. Salerno, P.C.
On behalf of Anthony M. Salerno, P.C. posted in Drunk Driving on Wednesday, July 25, 2012.
A bill that would require those convicted of first-time DUI to utilize an ignition-locking system has not been passed. In 2005, a bill was passed that requires repeat drunk driving offenders in Massachusetts to have an ignition-locking device installed in their vehicles. The device is connected to the ignition system of the vehicle, and the driver must blow into it before the ignition will work. This is intended to ensure that the driver is not driving drunk.
When using the ignition-locking device, the driver must also periodically blow into it at certain intervals after beginning to drive to make certain that the status of the driver has not changed. The device works similarly to a Breathalyzer test that is typically used when a driver is suspected of DUI. The vehicle will automatically shut off or be unable to start when the ignition interlock system is positive.
In Massachusetts, more than 500 drivers have been ordered to use the ignition-locking device. The device costs about $91 monthly, which must be paid by the driver. The device is intended to reduce the number of drunk driving incidents by repeat offenders. The latest bill was going to require the device be used by those who were found guilty of their first DUI.
A spokesman for Massachusetts Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) indicated that time ran out on the bill, but it is expected to be reintroduced during the next session. Those in favor of the bill feel that it would prevent first-time offenders from becoming repeat offenders. If it passes the next time it is introduced, it could have a permanent effect on how drunk driving is penalized in the state when a conviction is obtained. Of course, an allegation of drunk driving is not the same thing as a conviction for it, and every individual accused in our state enjoys important legal protections and is given the right to challenge the testimony and evidence offered in support of the accusations.
. If it passes the next time it is introduced, it could have a permanent effect on how drunk driving is penalized in the state when a conviction is obtained.

I was sitting in the back of the blue family van, my face pressed against the laminated glass. A kid stuck sucking in as much fresh air as I could from those old windows that would barely vent. Vacation road trips down midwestern highways meant counting a lot of cars to distract from motion sickness. As I looked on I started to notice fellow kids in those cars, mothers unfolding paper maps, dads drinking coffee out of styrofoam. They had whole lives they were living, both like and unlike mine. Every car we passed held a city of life.
What do you hope people take away from The Feels season three?
I'm grateful if people take away anything that is useful to them. My only real hope is that I want the show to kind of feel like a friend for someone. Maybe like a really good conversation with a dear friend or like a paperback book that you keep in your back pocket. I want this show to feel like someone that would never put you down. Like this is a show that loves you. I don't know what that is to take away, but that's my hope for what it's like.
I'm really looking forward to season three! Are you able to share anything about new characters?
Some characters from previous seasons will return and some will be brand new characters. This season has two main relationship arcs other than Charlie's. One is a poly triad who's just moved in with each other. The other arc is two former high school best friends who decide to try out dating as adults. It's fun and beautiful and we have a lot of other episodes that are these sneak peeks into people's lives.
I hope it's true that if you haven't met this character on screen before you can still feel close to them quickly. We [Manley and co-creator and director Naje Lataillade] co-write these episodes with the actors who are playing the roles. My hope is that we're able to achieve authenticity in our representations of people of different genders, sexualities, and races, because there's certainly many characters who don't have my same identity. Naje has said this before and I like the way he phrased it, we try to be inclusive in our show without exoticizing, fetishizing, or otherizing anyone else's identities.
If we're able to do that, I think it's because we let the actors either write their own lines or make major choices about those characters. So there are a lot of characters and storylines in this season I'm excited about. We have some guest actors I am incredibly excited about. It was the best experience of my professional creative life to work with the people we got to work with this season.
You've mentioned there's going to be greater bi visibility for Charlie in season three. My original question was going to be about your motivation for this choice. From what I'm gathering, so much of The Feels is written from a place of authenticity, so maybe it wasn't necessarily an active choice to move in a direction.
Because so much of the writing process is intuitive I might not name it a choice. Only because I think my heart is smarter than my brain. So if I sat down and said I'm going to write something really mind blowing about being bi, it's probably going to be extremely [unsuitable]. But if I just follow my intuition it hopefully will be wiser than my brain would be. Whatever it's called, I do think with Charlie and with the other characters on the show, we just have a lot more bi visibility. With Charlie, he's in a relationship with a gay man, but we also get to see him running into an ex who's a bi woman.
The challenge when you have a bi character is: How do you show bi representation? That's how we always end up with these tired narratives of I can't decide which gender to choose. I don't know anyone in my life who's ever actually had that problem [laughs]. But I can understand the challenge in: How do you show someone is bi? In this season, because we have so many characters you get to see different bi people and different representations of what that looks like. It worked out coincidentally. Naje met someone and he was like, I think we should do something with this person. So I get coffee with them and it comes up that this person's bi. And I'm like, okay, well then we're going to probably write that into the character somewhere. So it might just be casually mentioned if you don't get to see them in relationships or see different partners they've had.
Are there any season three episodes of The Feels that are particularly meaningful to you because of the visible bi content?
There's an episode in this new season that I'm really excited about, between me and David J. Cork, who wrote "Bi: The Webseries." It's not Bi 101. It's not Intro to Bisexuality. It's a conversation between two guys who are bi. It's: How would we talk if we didn't have to define or defend ourselves?
In part one of our interview, you mentioned in your experience some bi men may not know how to talk about their sexuality. Is that something that you're exploring in season three, or in your work going forward?
It's something I'm interested in more. When we were putting together this season, Naje told me he wanted to see an episode of Charlie talking to another bi man. And at first I'd sort of been like, yeah, yeah, maybe. And this is where the shift was: I went to the opening of New York Pride this year in front of Stonewall [Inn]. A man spoke, Dr. Herukhuti. When he spoke, I was so moved and it was this feeling of, oh I need to talk to other bi men, specifically. There's some sort of healing there that needs to happen. There's a specific kind of healing that can come from bi men specifically talking to other bi men.
Have a sonder with "The Feels" on Youtube. Season Three premieres June 1. And read part one of my conversation with co-creator, co-director, writer, and star of "The Feels," Tim Manley, right here on BiDotOrg.


I have attempted to resolder the battery connector on, and out of the 4 gold tabs on the back, ive managed to knock one off and loose it... Does this mean the logic board is completely f'd now or can I just tack it to where the gold thing use to be ?
@zaceustace your description is a bit vague. Take some pictures of what you got there and post those with your question. Use this guide for that so that we can see what you see.
It does sound like you have issues with one of the solder pads. you may have to consider rerouting those contacts or try to rebuild the solder pad.
You need to have the right heat as well as plenty of flux and good solder to make the connection. Only practice will make perfect.
Hello, yes, I mean the solder pad has come off. The little gold thing, there are 4 of them, usually, but according to your diagram, number 2 is missing... does that mean it is beyond repair?
No, not yet. Just connect it with the jumpers as marked.
as in I need to run solder from point 2 to the gold dot on the other end? (sorry my terminology is bad I am not very experienced in this) or do u just have to solder the connector to the black square the gold tab once was?
that seems much too complicated for me to lay solder across terminals with perfection. I guarantee I will mess it up... I think I might have to put this one on ebay, although I will give it a shot.

Centre prepones meeting with protesting farmers to Dec 1 after they vow 'decisive battle'; PM targets opposition
New Delhi, Nov 30 (PTI) The Centre on Monday night invited agitating farmer unions for talks on December 1, two days ahead of a scheduled meeting, as their stir against the new agri-marketing laws appeared to intensify despite a strong defence of the legislation by the government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi who accused the opposition of "playing tricks" on farmers again through misinformation.
The development came a day after the protesting farmers rejected the Centre's offer to start talks as soon as they move to Burari and continued to stay put Singhu and Tikri borders of the national capital.
'Keeping in view the cold and COVID-19, we have invited leaders of farmer unions for discussion much before the scheduled December 3 meeting,' Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar told PTI and urged the farmers to end their stir.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, representatives of agitating farmers said on Monday they have come to Delhi for a 'decisive' battle and asked Prime Minister Modi to listen to their 'mann ki baat'.
Peaceful sit-ins by farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, continued for the fifth day at the Singhu and Tikri borders with no untoward incident reported after Friday's violence, while the numbers of protestors swelled at the Ghazipur border.
'Our demands are non-negotiable,' Jagmohan Singh, general secretary Bhartiya Kisan Union (Dakaunda), said addressing a press conference by representatives of farmers at Singhu border.
'We have come here to fight a decisive battle…. We have come to Delhi to ask the prime minister to listen to 'mann ki baat' of farmers, else the government and the ruling party will have to pay a heavy price...,' he said.
The opposition parties too stepped up pressure, asking the Centre to 'respect the democratic struggle' of the farmers and repeal the laws.
Security was beefed up by the Delhi Police and concrete barriers placed at all borders points connecting the city with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as the farmers threatened to block all highways to the national capital.
Long queues of vehicles choked the roads as the Delhi Police kept the Singhu and Tikri borders closed and heightened checking at others.
Amid the rancour of protests, farmers were seen performing 'Ardas' (prayer) at the Haryana-Delhi border and distributing 'karah parshad' among the people on Guru Nanak Jayanti.
At dusk, earthen lamps were placed on the barricades by the protesting farmers who exchanged sweets while preparing for another winter night in their tractor-trollys which have been turned into makeshift shelters.
Many protesters said that they have come prepared for a long haul with rations and other necessities.
During the day several union ministers and BJP leaders again urged the farmers not to have 'misconceptions' about these reforms which, they asserted, have nothing to do with the mechanism of minimum support price (MSP) and 'mandi' that will continue along with the government's purchase of grains.
The prime minister, who was visiting his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi, too allayed concerns that MSP and mandi mechanism would be discontinued, even as he attacked the opposition.
'The farmers are being deceived on these historic agriculture reform laws by the same people who have misled them for decades,' he said, in an apparent reference to parties that are supporting the protest.
He reiterated that farmers who wanted to follow the old system of trading – referring to the 'mandis' where they can get the MSP – are still free to do so. But the three laws gave them new options to sell for more, he said.
He said whenever new laws are enacted questions are bound to be asked.
"But presently a new trend is being seen in the country. The protests are based on creating doubts through misinformation," Modi said at a public gathering.
"We must remember that those doing so are the ones who had for decades deceived farmers," he claimed. The MSP used to be declared but very little procurement was done on it, he claimed.
"Farmers have faced deceit on MSP, loan waiver schemes, urea and productivity for a long time in the past," he said.
He claimed that it is because of this "long history of deceit" that farmers are again wary as they are seeing the new move in the same manner.
Though the protesting farmers have been adamant about not allowing any political party to use their platform, the opposition has come out in their support.
The Congress launched a social media campaign to muster support for the farmers and said its members will extend assistance to the protesters, while the DMK and its allies too issued a statement slamming the government's stand.
'The Modi government has persecuted the farmer - first it brought black laws and then used lathis against them, but it forgot that when the farmer raises his voice, it resonates throughout the country. You also raise your voice against the exploitation of farmers and join the #SpeakUpForFarmers campaign,' Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
A joint statement was issued by DMK president M K Stalin, TNCC chief K S Alagiri, MDMK general secretary Vaiko, CPI(M) state secretary K Balakrishnan, Communist Party of India state secretary R Mutharasan and others slamming the Centre's stand.
'More than 500 farmer unions from across India have rallied on behalf of the country's 62 million farmers. We all strongly condemn the dictatorial, hegemonic BJP government for disregarding this massive rally and stipulating that negotiations will only take place only if the farmers go to the Burari ground,' it said.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to the people of Delhi to help the protesters and urged the Centre to hold talks with them at the earliest.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose JD(U) is a constituent of the BJP-led, expressed the hope that the Centre will be able to allay the fears about MSP in its dialogue with the farmers.
'The Centre has proposed to hold talks with the agitating farmers. Once they sit across the table, it will become clear that fears over MSP are unfounded,' he told reporters.
Nagaur (Rajasthan) MP Hanuman Beniwal, an alliance partner of NDA , said he will have to reconsider his party's support to the Centre if the new agricultural reform laws are not withdrawn.
Beniwal, the convener of Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw the three farm laws immediately and implement all the recommendations made by the Swaminathan Commission.
Farmers, who had reached the Nirankari Samagam Ground in Burari on Saturday, also continued their protest.
Sukhwinder Singh, who has been agitating at the Tikri border for the fifth consecutive day, said farmers don't want to go to Burari ground --- the designated protest site identified for the demonstration.
'We have enough ration to sustain for at least six months. We do not wish to go to Burari. If we proceed from here, we will only go to Jantar Mantar. We will not protest anywhere else,' Singh said.
Tractor-trolleys have occupied over a 10-km-long stretch along the Ambala-Delhi national highway.
Many protesters have cushioned their trolleys with layers of straw and laid mattresses over them to protect them from the cold. Night temperatures over the last few days have been settling at around 9 degrees Celsius.
Among the protesters are men and women aged over 70 years.
Flags of various farmers' outfits from Punjab and Haryana can be seen fluttering atop the tractors, some of which are fitted with loudspeakers and used by the leaders of peasants' bodies to address the gatherings.
Having gathered here in thousands amid the coronavirus pandemic, the farmers claim adverse conditions do not affect them as they are used to various challenges anyway while working in the fields.
Experts warn their agitation could well be a COVID-19 superspreader as there have been few signs of social distancing during the protests that started last week with the farmers, banded under various organisations, leaving their homes and moving towards Delhi.
'A protest is a mass gathering and thus from a public health perspective, I would urge protective and preventive behaviour against the spread of coronavirus infection, failing which a superspreading event might set in," cautioned Dr Samiran Panda, head of the Epidemiology and Communicable Diseases division at the Indian Council of Medical Research.
The farmers are protesting against the three laws -- Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020 and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020 -- that took effect from September 27 after President Ram Nath Kovind's assent.
The farmers have expressed apprehension that the Centre's farm laws would pave the way for the dismantling of the minimum support price system, leaving them at the 'mercy' of big corporates.
The government has maintained that the new laws will bring farmers better opportunities and usher in new technologies in agriculture.
In a series of tweets in Hindi, BJP leader and Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad sought to refute criticism of these bills.
'New agri laws do not end APMC (Agricultural Produce Market Committee) mandis. Mandis will continue to operate as they have been. New laws have given farmers the freedom to sell their produce anywhere. Whoever gives farmers the best price will get to buy their produce be it inside the mandis or outside,' he said.
Many misconceptions like the farm bills are a conspiracy to not offer farmers MSP, are being spread, he said, adding that the reality is that these legislations have nothing to do with the minimum support price. 'The MSP has been in force and will remain in force,' he said.
Another senior BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar said, 'Don't have misconceptions about the farm laws. Farmers of Punjab have sold more paddy in mandi than they did last year and at a higher MSP. MSP is alive and so is mandi. And government purchase is also taking place.'

New York is a place you should definitely visit if you get the chance. Full of fabulous art galleries, restaurants and interesting shops, it has spectacular views of Manhattan and New York's beautiful bridges. Dumbo is actually an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and it's here, overlooking the East River, that Swedish-born Sebastian Stubbe and his American girlfriend Karis Durmer now call home.
The couple had been searching for the perfect industrial warehouse to transform into their home. They had nearly given up hope finding it, when they heard through a friend of a friend about this old factory building in the heart of Dumbo. Although Dumbo is now a hive of artistic activity, at the time it was still somewhat undiscovered. Sebastian and Karis knew this was it. Rugged and dirty though it was, the building had large windows overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, and a magical feel that was irresistible to them.
With a shared love of art and interiors the duo transformed the space into a gorgeous loft with a blend of Swedish, New York and London influences. I'm completely in love with it - the beautiful, clean Scandinavian aesthetics, with an industrial edge, and just a hint of quirkiness. The large mirror leaned casually against the wall, at first glance looks like another doorway in the living area.
Surrounded by an eclectic mix of art, the tv cleverly blends in rather than being the focal point. The bright green of the cabinet is echoed in the single green dining chair.
What can I say about the bathroom other than 'yum!' The combination of white tiles and soft grey marble creates a beautiful, subtle statement.
And the colour theme flows over into the luxuriously spacious toilet. Including a photo montage in the loo is another shot of personality in a room that can often be a bit sterile.
What do you think? Haven't Sebastian and Karis done a fantastic job?! - yes, yes, YES!

Our aim is to not only leave you with a floor that looks wonderful, but also feels fantastic under your toes.
Most commonly, underfloor heating, otherwise known as radiant floor heating, works by way of electrical heat. Electric radiant floors operate by putting down heat-conducting plastic mats into the mortar bed of a floor. These mats contain electrical coils that heat up, and the heat produced by these coils then radiates up into your floors. The air closest to the floor is also warmed by this process, and rises to warm up the rest of the room.
Underfloor heating is not only a great option because it keeps your feet warm in the colder seasons. It is also a cost and energy efficient way of heating your home. In-floor heating provides evenly dispersed heat throughout a room virtually eliminating any and all cold spots within your home. Because of the even distribution of heat it is more efficient than conventional baseboard or radiator heating systems. In-floor heating can also be a great option for people who suffer acutely from airborne allergens, as radiant heat does not circulate allergens the same way that forced air systems do.
