Is this the first time the Oklahoma City Thunder are irrelevant? It feels like they've always been in the mix of things since they relocated from Seattle. This will be a first for their fans.
I remember their first year in OKC they didn't win a lot of games but I also remember it being pretty clear at the time that eventually Durant and Westbrook were going to be really, really good together. I don't remember if they had Ibaka or Harden at that point, though.
If you thought Paul and Harden couldn't get along just wait, and with George reportedly being upset with Westbrook. I see this Rockets era blowing up in their faces soon. A ticking time bomb. I don't even see how this move makes them better, not in the short or long term. But for the thunder, big winners, while Paul isn't great for the team, they can always either ship him off again, or let his contract expire and let him walk, giving them some cap and they also own like every pick.
I can't believe Lillard waved goodbye to a whole era (the first, and quite a great one) of Thunder Basketball

I believe there are rules such that you can only get so many consecutive picks from X team, so even if it won't make sense in theory, the swap option is the best you can get as the receiving teams in some years (and hey, you never know what'll go wrong in this modern NBA).
So the odds are that none of the swap options will ever actually be executed

That's where I'm at with it. They made a bit of a lateral move that might be an even worse fit for them, AND they have up two extra first rounders to do it. This feels like a bit of a panic move on Morey's part.
Been watching some Summer League highlights (which I don't normally do) and I finally get what all the fuss is about with Tako Fall.
Guy's a damn monster (or rather MonStar).
I know exceptionally tall guys usually have a very short lifespan in the league, but I think signing him is worth the risk.
His rebounding & blocking are just absolutely insane. Really is crazy this guy wasn't drafted at all.
We're talking about things that aren't the Celtics.
On paper, it makes sense to have two of three recent MVPs on your team. Maybe less so when they're incredibly ball dominant and have a habit of sitting on their thumbs when they don't have the ball.

Grayson Allen got eject in Summer League with two flagrants in a seven-second span. It's GD Summer League! That's the only noteworthy thing to happen in Summer League because it's so baffling. I guess if somebody were to do it, it would be Grayson Allen.

Two ball dominant personalities on the same team can only go so well. Sure, Harden and Westbrook have played together, but that was when Harden was the third ranger and before he began his scintillating performance with Houston.
I don't see this lasting too long before Russ gets traded again.

As a Grizzlies fan, I was happy to get Allen back in the Conley deal. He could be a good player and he can be fun to watch. But I'm already tired of him.

OKC wants them picks. And also they prefer to trade within the conference, apparently. If they can't win, neither can any of their opponents.
It's a shame they couldn't have three-team traded Westbrook. Paul won't be on OKC at the end of the 19-20 season (and maybe even not the beginning). I think CP3 would have been better served in a place like Detroit.
Morey's whole deal is to put good talent together and let them figure it out, but Westbrook and Harden are the two highest-usage guys, right? What the hell is going to happen there?
D'Antoni is a lame duck coach on his last year of his contract, will Tillman Fertitta fire him during the season?

Maybe so, but I think we also need to follow the smoke of a couple weeks back, which said that Harden and Paul really did not get along well. Even if this is a lateral-ish move on the court, there was no locker room animus on those early Thunder teams that I'm aware of, so maybe you make this trade and hope you catch lightning in a bottle if the alternative looks like your star players pouting and fighting all year.
Utilis 24
Doesn't this bring Chris Paul full-circle too?
NBA is the worst sports league. How the hell can you be a fan of OKC when the team doesn't want the player, the player doesn't want to be there, and they're basically just saying they're resigned to making it work for a year? Why in the world would you cheer for that team or get invested in any way, shape, or form?
The impossible to figure out CBA has made things nearly impossible to figure out, makes trades super confusing, results in guys being drafted even though everyone knows they aren't going to play there, and players reluctantly taking $40M to play out a season with some team.

Q: How can I generate a complete trace.axd in ASP.NET MVC? On my application, after enabling ASP.NET Tracing in an ASP.NET MVC application, the time calculation statistics were off by a factor of 5000.
I have a page that is taking between 7 and 9 seconds to load. This is corroborated by both Firebug and the "time-taken" field in the IIS log files. (This is just the page returning to the client, not any layout, DOM, or script execution.)
However, when I turn application-wide tracing on (via web.config) and view the trace output, the time taken from "Begin PreInit" to "End Render" is less than 0.001 seconds.
I assume this is because Trace.axd was built with WebForms in mind, and MVC bypasses the traditional page lifecycle.
Yet even if I add custom traces at the start and end of OnActionExecuting/OnActionExecuted, the time is still less than 0.1 seconds.
Does anyone know where in ASP.NET MVC I will need to hook in order to have the trace.axd output report accurate execution times?

A: It could be that the time for the action method itself is not the big part of the execution.  Try checking the time between OnResultExecuting/OnResultExecuted.  This is basically the time to actually render the page in HTML whereas OnActionExecuting/OnActionExecuted is (basically) the time to set up the data for the view.
Note that if you are using LINQ, the data queries themselves may be deferred until the page is rendered (the model enumerated).  That is, the slowness may not be due to page complexity but data access even when the time is taken in executing the result.

So, you have just booked your vacation to London. Brilliant! We look forward to welcoming you to our humble city, we hope you drink lots of pints, eat lots of fish n' chips and please please remember to stand on the right!
You're probably going to want some internet connectivity whilst you're here to keep in touch with friends & colleagues, and to plan your time in London (and, of course, use Uber to get around).
For this you are going to need some mobile data.
In this article we're going to run you through what you'll need to get online in the UK during your vacation.
Sign up to FreedomPop here; it really is free each month (except for the £0.99 one off fee) and you get enough data for WhatsApp, email and browsing use whilst on your vacation in the UK. You can buy it online using just your PayPal account.
First up, you're going to need a device to get online with. Your phone should be your first port of call. You need to make sure it is unlocked (so that you can put a SIM card from a UK cellular network in it) and that it supports our network frequencies. You can see the 2G, 3G and 4G frequencies used in London here; it's almost certain that your phone will work on 3G in London and hopefully you will get some 4G LTE coverage too.
If your phone is not compatible, or you don't want to take out your current SIM card we'd recommend using a portable WiFi hotspot (often called a MiFi). You can buy a 4G one such as this one or a cheaper 3G one such as this one, and then put a SIM card in it. This is also a good idea if a few of you want to get online or if you have multiple devices that need to connect, and you can always use it on your next vacation.
Unlike many other countries we don't have regional cell networks in the UK. Apart from some rural areas which may not have coverage at all, you can buy one SIM card and use it all over the UK.
Most residents in the UK purchase a contract (or plan) from a cellular provider which is normally 24 months in length. This is clearly no use to the short term visitor on vacation so we're going to focus on prepaid (what we usually call 'pay as you go') SIM cards which can be bought with no contract.
There's no need to provide ID in the UK when buying a SIM card and it can usually be done online. We recommend ordering it in advance and having it shipped to your hotel (or other accommodation). It is usually worth sending an email to your hotel letting them know that a small package will be arriving for you. You can the pick it up on your arrival in the UK.
In this article we're going to focus on data use. Many prepaid cards will also offer the ability to make calls, but we're figuring that you'll use Skype or a similar VoIP service to call home.
In the UK we have four main cell phone networks – the are the companies that own the physical infrastructure. They are O2, EE, Vodafone and Three. All of these companies operate 2G, 3G and 4G LTE networks except Three who have no 2G fallback. Other companies lease space on these networks (called Mobile Virtual Network Operators or MVNOs) under different names.
If you are going to require the best performance then you should consider EE. They have invested the most in 4G LTE in the UK and have the most coverage of 4G LTE. You will see speeds up to 60mb/second on their double speed 4G LTE. EE offer a data only sim card valid for 1 month with 5GB of data loaded onto it for £25. Click here to see it. If you are a heavy data user, or a business user then this is the card for you.
If you don't want to go with EE, then try Vodafone who will ship you a free SIM card here.
It is also a good idea to order the vodafone sim card anyway to keep as a backup incase you have a problem with any other supplier, or don't make it to a physical store.. it is free after all. It's also worth looking at Amazon UK, as there are sometimes good deals such as this one.
This is where you'll probably find the best deal, as the main networks are generally focused on long term contracts from UK residents rather than visitors.
We can't recommend these guys enough. You sign up online (enter the postcode of your hotel), and can pay the £0.99 fee with PayPal to avoid problems with international credit cards. They run on Three's network so you'll get good 3G and 4G LTE coverage. For free you will get 200mb of data, which is plenty for light WhatsApp, email and browsing. If you want to get a bit more data then their packages are very competitively priced.
They will post a 3 in 1 SIM card to you, so it will work in devices that need a full size, micro or nano SIM (that is, any device that accepts a SIM card). You can make and receive phone calls with FreedomPop. They have an intuitive app which makes calls over the data network.
Make sure that, once you have your FreedomPop card that you keep track of the auto top up feature. Some people like this, but others prefer to switch it off.
Get your FreedomPop sim card here.
This is a virtual network that runs on O2, so you will have coverage anywhere that there is O2 coverage. giffgaff is a purely pay as you go network. For data use you buy 'gigabags' which are quite well priced. The process is to order your SIM online here, when it arrives at your hotel you activate it and add credit via the giffgaff website, then you add the 'gigabag'. It is a little more complicated than FreedomPop but worth looking at if you want cheaper access to O2's network. giffgaff also has some good international call options, so if you are looking to make calls back home, this may be a good option.
This company runs on the EE network, which is very robust. 1pmobile is very straightforward – they charge £0.01 for each minute, SMS or megabyte of data. The caveat is that there is a minimum of £5.00 per month spend, so you can think of this as 500mb of data on EE's network for £5.00. You can order the SIM with £5.00 of credit online here.

Music is a powerful thing. It stirs up the emotions. It can get adrenaline surging through your body in anticipation. Music has got me all excited in two games recently. The first was Fallout 4, where I just sat and listened to the Fallout theme which played at the main menu. The second is with Star Wars: Battlefront. When the Star Wars logo appears and the familiar music starts to play, I was overcome with giddy excitement.
Music however can only go so far. And it feels like EA have dropped the ball on this one. Though whether it's development time (with the new film coming out soon) or just not having the rights, we'll never know, but despite not saying ONLINE ONLY on the packaging but still commanding the full game price, Star Wars: Battlefront is only half a game.
My main excitement with Star Wars: Battlefront was the anticipation of the single player story campaign. Be it re living some of the iconic missions from the original trilogy, or playing through a campaign that connected the films to the upcoming Star Wars film, it was going to be the most exciting first person shooter of the year. And a solid single player campaign would get me amped up for some serious online shooting fun.
But there is no single player campaign. If you're not looking for another online shooter, keep moving along. This is not the game you are looking for.
So why doesn't the packaging say ONLINE ONLY? Because it does have single player training, and lame single player or co-op first person shooter battles in a team death match skin, along with a horde mode. But to be honest, these will bore you after about 5 minutes. The only place you'll find any enduring action is online multiplayer.
Star Wars: Battlefront is incredible in it's presentation, the battlefields all look stunning, and they do a good job and bringing back memories from the original films. But as a first person shooter the game feels dumbed down, possibly to make it accessible to as many people as possible. Flying any of the ships is easy to pick up, but they also feel incredible unresponsive and it doesn't feel like there is any depth to the experience.
There's also a weird progression system where new guns and gear are unlocked at different levels, but the game still uses currency for you to purchase them, along with a card based system that restricts your load out options.
Sure the game mixes things up by allowing each team to bring on their hero during the battle, but with no real single player action and a rather lackluster multiplayer experience there's nothing but nostalgic feelings that will make me want to pick up and play the game again. It's even managed to damped my enthusiasm for the Force Awakens.
Rating: M Suitable for mature audiences 16 years and over.

Парад е сръбска комедия от 2011 година. Филмът прави дебюта си на фестивала Берлинале, а впоследствие се превръща в касов филм в Сърбия и страните от бивша Югославия.

Филмът разглежда обединението на бивши участници в Югославските войни (сред които сърби, хървати, бошняци и албанци) с цел да охраняват гей парад от нео нацисти и други екстремисти.

В България филмът е показван на София Филм Фест.

Сюжет
Филмът разглежда опита на ЛГБТ организация да проведе гей парад в Белград. За да успее в начинанието си организацията наема бивши военни, занимавали се с престъпления, които да охраняват парада. Като благодарност един от членовете на организацията обещава да организира сватбата на Лимон (Никола Койо), който е главен организатор на защитата им.

Препратки към други филми
Във филма неколкократно се прави препратка към Бен-Хур, като се повтаря тезата на Гор Видал, че историята между Бен-Хур и Месала има хомосексуален подтекст.

Southern Water's Approach to Customer Engagement: Exclusive Interview Released
SMi Group release new interview with Water Efficiency Manager of Southern Water, Ben Earl, ahead of his address at the 6th Annual Smart Water Systems this April.
London, United Kingdom, January 11, 2017 --(PR.com)-- SMi Group have released an interview with Ben Earl, Water Efficiency Manager- Southern Water, ahead of his address at the 6th annual Smart Water Systems conference in London on 24 and 25th April 2017.
With a special focus on social issues surrounding smart water systems in terms of customer inclusion and engagement, Smart Water Systems 2017 will welcome the expertise of Ben Earl in a presentation that will show case Southern Water's approach in developing meaningful partnerships with their customers to increase the spread of engagement and ensure that tangible benefits are realised. The talk will feature Southern Water's smart metering programme and explore the smart innovation used to help customers save water and money.
Currently working for Southern Water Ben Earl specialised in water efficiency. He is involved in developing future strategy, implementing new business models and delivering ambitious water efficiency targets.
In the run up to the event, SMi Group spoke to Ben regarding his work and customer engagement in the water industry.
When asked what the biggest challenges the smart industry is currently facing, Ben Earl said:
"The biggest challenges that we are facing are with the availability of water and how we help our customers use less in the future. The South East is already officially declared as in 'water stress' and with an increasing population and less water likely to be available from the environment because of climate change then the supply/demand balance will tighten further. Empowering customers to see the relationship they have with water and appreciate its value will help them with their own bills, connect the link with energy use and aid those habitats such as chalk streams which provide the water for supply and are home to countless wildlife species."
Commenting on why customer engagement is so important to the work he is doing, he said that it is the heart of being efficient with water.
"Customer Engagement is at the heart of the entire water efficiency programme being delivered by Southern Water and our partners. We offer a bespoke service that seeks to engage with each member of a household and uses behavioural techniques to ensure that we see real, meaningful changes to how people use water."
The full interview is available to read in the event download centre at http://www.smart-water-systems.com/prcom.
Other notable presenters at the conference include: Thames Water, Scottish Government, WaterSmart Software, United Utilities, Veolia, Northumbrian Water, Severn Trent, Southern Water, Energy Saving Trust, Irish Water, University of Exeter.
For those looking to attend, there is a £200 early bird saving available online ending on 31th January 2017.

I have been thinking, since there are original banjos, violins, and tambourines, where are the original bones. does anyone know if there are bones from the minstrel era that exist today.
MFA has some regular style.
That 'nail violin' is fascinating. Played with a bow.... how?
