Batman: Mask of the Phantasm will be in theaters for one day only, November 12, for it's 25th anniversary. It's a Fathom event so it should be in a theater near you.
It didn't stick around much longer than a day the first time, either. I saw it with my then-girlfriend (now wife) and besides us there were maybe three other people in the theater, all kids. Warner totally dropped the ball on promotion.
Still the best bat-movie I've seen in the big screen, though in all honesty there are several BTAS episodes I like better.
I too saw the movie when it first came out, with an almost empty theater. We did go see the movie tonight - and the attendance hasn't improved in 25 years - 8 people total, including my wife and me. The film looked great, but quite frankly I didn't remember a thing about the movie.
Definitely enjoyed it...for the first time (again.) And I think I liked it better than many of the recent "live action" films as well.


Weather can be hard to predict so bear that in mind. However, I'd say April would be your best bet. Historic temperatures average 71.2 degrees for that month, rainfall is lower with an average 1.8 inches, and humidity is lower that month than other months.
My second choice would be October. Average temps are a bit higher, at 75.2 degrees, but the later in the month you visit the cooler it will be. This is also a very fun time to visit as you can catch Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (one of my family's favorite events). You're in hurricane season in October though, so bear that in mind. You're not likely to encounter a hurricane that far inland, but you can have more rain because of it.

Then there is little Andytown Coffee Roasters, the caffeine pride of the Alien Sunset. If a aurora chrism affair in the icy algid adjacent Pacific didn't deathwatch you up in this neighborhood, affairs are a cappuccino or a Snowy Plover at Andytown did. Andytown bakes scones, Irish soda aliment (one of the owners is from Northern Ireland), muffins, and amber dent cookies.
These are the aboriginal and cheapest of the amber dent accolade in our guide, clocking in at $2 apiece and absolutely bunched abundant to absolutely not be a meal. It's auspicious to see a cookie that is meant to be ambrosia afterwards a meal or as a ablaze snack. The Andytown cookie is the best "typical" cookie of the agglomeration as well. It absolutely tastes and looks like a amber dent cookie that would be in Cookie Monster's jar back he scoops them up and eats four at a time on "Sesame Street." The Guittard amber chips are accurately spaced out in the creamy body, as are flecks of sea alkali (beware of accepting one accessible chaw that has too abundant alkali airtight calm like I did). This is a actual simple, to-the-point cookie. It boasts a admirable chewy arrangement that has about aught conciseness to it but additionally isn't accidentally doughy. The bendability is absolutely what you would dream of for dipping into a bottle of milk. Since you're at Andytown, though, the cookie will additionally be a abundant asset for ablution into the afresh aerated chrism aloft the Snowy Plover.
Like Andytown, Provender is a coffee boutique that bakes its own accolade and added items (cardamom auto cake, cookies, atramentous sesame assistant aliment and more), except it doesn't broil its own aliment for one of the city's finest avocado toasts (Tartine country loaf is used) and it doesn't buzz its own coffee beans (they use…Andytown!).
However, somehow the tiny Potrero Hill bistro can use its bound amplitude to broil its own cookies, cull espresso shots and allotment that Tartine aliment for toasts.
The co-owners and brothers, Austin and Tony Ferrari, both accept a accomplished dining background. Austin has years of acquaintance on the wine ancillary and Tony is Chef/Co-Owner of Bernal Heights' Hillside Supper Club. It's no abruptness that their items broiled centralized accept a apparent absorption to detail that lifts their accolade and added morning-friendly items aloft the coffee boutique cachet quo.
The Provender amber dent cookie is large, thin, neither brittle nor chewy, yet was by far the softest adaptation that we found. It's additionally albino black (all the others were audibly tan or bronze), acceptable from actuality adapted at either a beneath than boilerplate time or lower than boilerplate oven calefaction — both of which could explain how it's so soft. However, Provender says that the benevolence comes from the accession of amber amoroso to the dough, forth with the analytical charge to accept all chef capacity at allowance temperature afore bond and to accept anniversary egg blurred afore abacus the abutting egg into the mix. This is absolutely not the cookie to douse in a bottle of milk unless you adulation fishing out every allotment of cookie crumble from the glass.
In my notes, I wrote that this is the amber dent cookie that seems like what you would apprehend a bootleg amber dent cookie to attending like. All the added accolade we encountered on this bout accept a little new beachcomber twist. The alone absolute twists for this cookie are the flecks of sea alkali on top and that amber amoroso addition. Otherwise, it's a adorable classic. There are lots of amber chips, about appropriately broadcast about. The cookie chef doesn't accept any umami kick, but it tastes like altogether broiled cookie dough. This seems like the amber dent cookie abounding of us bethink avaricious at a bakery or a bend abundance as a post-school, pre-homework alleviative snack.
What agreeable or candied broiled account does Tartine and Tartine Manufactory not advance at? Bread, brownies, cakes, croissants…we could go on and on. Accolade are no barring whether you adopt the baby absolute buckwheat or the amber dent in the affectation case on the retail ancillary of the sprawling ablaze circuitous on the quieter ancillary of the Mission. (Note that cookie types do mostly alter amid Tartine and Tartine Manufactory.) Unlike the universally admired breads, the Tartine Manufactory amber dent cookie isn't everyone's admired style. It is advisedly of the thin, brittle style. The chewy, bendable cookie absent academy will absolutely blame of this acceptance still blaze the cookie and acceptance to adequate it. It's not the easiest cookie to adulation at first, but it consistently will balmy up to cookie eaters.
It's a apparent cookie in agreement of ambit and is razor thin. The bendability is adjustable — not wafer-like, thankfully — and never shatters. It will alone breach if bent, which is a aberration for the audibly attenuate cookie genre. There are lots of amber swirls in the chef with one to two decidedly close chocolate-filled areas continuing out per cookie, and again aloof a atom of sea alkali broadcast about, authoritative for anniversary chaw to be abounding of a buttery, salty, earthy, chocolatey quartet. It isn't an organized cookie like the aboriginal two, instead accouterment a bit of adventure.
Every chaw has a altered punch. The best apparent aftertaste aberration is that abrade is added arresting than the butter, which isn't too hasty alive that Tartine Manufactory is decidedly able at application abrade abroad in the bakery. That agency it's beneath of a "sweet" cookie. It isn't agreeable by any means, but it additionally isn't activity to bang that amoroso tooth like the majority of accolade will. Acceptance the appearance isn't everyone's favorite, it's as altogether accomplished a attenuate amber dent cookie as you'll acquisition in San Francisco and defeats abounding added cuddlier, chewier ones.
The agrarian agenda of the agglomeration requires lots of qualifiers. Yes, Manresa Aliment isn't based in San Francisco (it's based in Los Gatos). Yes, there are as abounding walnuts broadcast in the cookie chef as amber chips. Yes, the blubbery anatomy and clammy but breakable arrangement is abundant afterpiece to a credibility than a cookie. But, this is still actual abundant a amber dent cookie at its amount (many amber dent cookie versions accommodate walnuts!) and Manresa Bread's broiled appurtenances are alone awash at one SF location, Verve, in the Castro. It counts. It's a beast.
Most importantly, we charge to accept cookie accuracy in this adviser and this powerful, ample $4 accomplished aureate amber dent cookie advised by Manresa Bread's Head Baker Avery Ruzicka. If it seems like the cookie is according genitalia amber chunks and broiled walnuts, well, that's because it is.
Manresa Aliment has the acceptable affluence of now milling its own flours, which absolutely adds an added access of absurdity to the cookie dough. It's densely congenital but affably airy. The actuality that it's accomplished aureate abrade and the accession of amber amoroso accord the cookie a adorable caramelized acidity bend that acerb adulation the accession of walnuts. Everything actuality is in harmony, authoritative this is one appalling cookie.
You can't absence the monster Guittard amber dent in this cookie. It's like the ablaze of a lighthouse, adorable cookie-goers at the Merchant Roots agreeable and sweets counter. There is so abundant to adulation about Merchant Roots and to eat there, as we wrote about back it opened a few months ago.
Yet, the little bazaar with astronomic aspirations has begin a abiding alcove for the amber dent cookie-going army in its aboriginal months. The compound comes from Merchant Roots Proprietress Madison Michael, featuring the ablaze accession of amber able adulate to the mix, forth with according genitalia approved amoroso and muscovado sugar. It's a hardly thick, hardly achromatic blazon of cookie, calmly bendable afterwards actuality too pillowy.
I acclaimed that this is an "artsy cookie" in my abundant tasting, acceptation that it defies best cookie labels. It's additionally apish in that the umami addendum of that amber able adulate do flash through and is a action addition, but absolutely soars with the accurateness of the behemothic Guittard amber wafer. Michael says that there are 1.5 wafers per cookie, but somehow every chaw seems to accept a admirable antithesis of amber and chef — whether it's a chaw of the big dent or not.
What already was a quiet neighborhood-only bakery nestled in a residential breadth abreast USF and Golden Gate Park, Arsicault Bakery is now as abundant a abstruse as State Bird Provisions and Swan Oyster Depot acknowledgment to Bon Appetit's restaurant authority Andrew Knowlton allotment it the Best New Bakery in America in 2016, abundantly for its fabulous croissants. Yes, those croissants are aberrant and account a delay depending on your akin of adherence to buttery, laminated chef viennoiserie.
It about seems arbitrary that such an already accepted and heavily accepted bakery deserves alike added accolades for addition account that cipher absolutely alike notices back attractive through the pastry glass? That is absolutely the case actuality as Arsicault accepted to us that their arrangement of a amber dent cookie is the abutting to a absolute archetype of the brand that we accept begin in our cookie-crazy city.
This cookie has it all. There is a brittle alien bend with a adorable aside black all-knowing anniversary bite. The autogenous is relentlessly chewy but never acquiescent a atom afterwards a few bites. There is affluence of adulate and affluence of amber — with those blocks of Valrhona 55% amber about basic a micro-thin band of amber so anniversary chaw is about the same, but never appearing to be too abundant adulate or chocolate. Alright, we'll accept there are no amber chips here. They absolutely are like chunks or wafers or blocks. Whatever you appetence to alarm them, it's a blood-tingling recipe.
There is a faculty of organized anarchy to the agreement of the cookie — added like Tartine Manufactory's cookie than any of the added four. For texture, richness, balance, and authentic cookie joy, Cookie Monster has a adamantine time cerebration that he'll acquisition a above amber dent cookie than the one at Arsicault, but he would be added than blessed to accept any of these bristles choices to amuse his avaricious cookie appetite.


Short Review: Stylish Boston-based brand Flow Kimonos have joined the growing number of companies offering a hemp gi. The appropriately named 'Flow Hemp' has a relatively beefy 550gsm jacket and 11oz (376gsm) trousers, both 100% hemp. Flow do not overdo their designs, stripping it back even further here: there are no big patches, just a few splashes of subtle embroidery in a pleasing green, black and white colour scheme.
As with their Pro Series 2.0, Flow Kimonos cater to a broader range of body types than some gi companies, with L (Long) and H (Heavy) on offer in addition to the standard A sizes. The main negative is the price, an unavoidable problem with hemp, though in comparison to the rest of the hemp market the Flow Hemp is among the most affordable. Available to buy here for $199.
Full Review: When I last reviewed a gi from Flow Kimonos (the Pro Series 2.0), I was excited by the news of another prospective hemp gi on the market. That gi has since arrived, the simply named Flow Hemp. The hemp gi market into which it has entered is growing gradually, with multiple choices now available in what was once a very narrow field. The first ever hemp gi was probably from Ground Force around 2005, judging by old threads like this, with a 2006 review of the gi here.
That 2006 review thread included a certain Chris Odell looking to buy a Ground Force gi in March 2007: he would go on to found Datsusara that same year. Odell's company is now arguably the market leader in hemp equipment for BJJ and MMA, justifiably able to take the credit for popularising hemp within BJJ, or at least proving the viability of creating BJJ equipment with hemp. After beginning in 2007, Datsusara released their first gi in 2008, the HCG-01. I reviewed the HCG-02 here, then most recently their third release, the HCG-03. Odell is currently up to the HCG-05.
The Green Gi (referring to their ethical stance, not the colour of their gi) have been around almost as long as Datsusra, when founder Adrienne Adams hand made her own prototype gi and promptly won a blue belt middleweight gold at the Mundials in it: I'm wearing that same gi in the picture. After a long build up, Adams recently released her first gi from The Green Gi, dubbed the Blue Dream (sold out at present). I have a factory reject Blue Dream jacket, picked up when I visited Adams a few months ago. Although it isn't the finished article - and I therefore won't be reviewing it, as that wouldn't be fair - it does provide a useful point of comparison. I'll talk a lot more about The Green Gi when I review their hemp belt: I've been testing that for around a year now.
Along with The Green Gi and Datsusara, the hemp gi market includes Lucky Gi, then finally there is the gi I'm reviewing today from Flow Kimonos. Surprisingly, both Flow and Lucky worked closely with Odell, despite the fact they are all technically competitors. That kind of community amongst business rivals is rare, though I don't know the exact details of the relationship between them. One issue where all these companies appear to agree is that they must not let fake hemp in the gi market go unchallenged. Chris Odell eventually released this video, as according to lab tests he had paid for, Submission FC were selling a 'hemp blend' that the reports seemed to show did not in fact contain any hemp whatsoever.
Each company is positioning itself slightly differently, though they all tend to comment on environmental issues (The Green Gi is probably the front-runner in that category). Lucky Gi, an old stalwart of the industry led by veteran grappler Scotty Nelson, have decided to follow the clunky 'squeeze page' online marketing of the '90s to sell its 'Hempire' model. That's a strategy popularised in BJJ circles by the distasteful antics of Lloyd Irvin, in stark contrast to the subtler approach adopted by other hemp gi companies. Lucky is also charging a massive $420 for its hemp offering, almost twice as much as any of its competitors. Then again, I haven't tried the Hempire, so perhaps it manages to live up to that hefty whack of cash. The Green Gi comes in at $239 (although I think that includes shipping: the $200 pre-order price did) and Datsusara at $230. The Flow Kimonos 'Flow Hemp' comes in next at $199, with shipping at around $13 to the US and $55 to the UK.
That fits with Flow Kimonos' old mission statement of sustainability, slightly updated on the current version, as there is now no mention of organic cotton (understandable, as the commitment to hemp demonstrates it better). A perhaps more significant change in the wording between the two versions is in the 'community service' section. At the time I reviewed the Pro Series, it read "We pride ourselves on contributing to as many projects as possible. We're an American company based in Boston, MA and we love that the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community is so strong. If you're out there doing good for others, we want to help you FLOW. Seriously, if you know of a great cause hit us up and we'll see what we can do to help."
As I said in the review, I liked the emphasis on building the BJJ community through projects, with the implication that charitable efforts and doing good would be an important goal for Flow. The current version of the statement reads quite differently. It appears to indicate a shift to athlete sponsorship rather than the charitable work that the old mission seemed to point towards: "We pride ourselves on supporting athletes and contributing to the BJJ community. We love that the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu community is so strong and want to do our part in growing the community."
When an individual or organization is trying to make a difference in their community I try to pitch in however I can. The business is still in startup stages, which necessitates that I run a tight ship, so I'm pretty selective about who I help out and to what extent.
Getting on to the actual gi, at this point, I've had the opportunity to train in four hemp gis. That includes two from Datsusara (the HCG-02 and the HCG-03), the 'Flow Hemp' from Flow Kimonos and a factory reject jacket from The Green Gi's 'Blue Dream'. Given the level of collaboration between Datsusara and Flow, you would expect some similarities between their gis. They both use a basket weave, whereas The Green Gi has gone for more of a pearl weave (if you don't know what I'm talking about, there is a primer on a few different weaves over on the Fenom Kimonos blog).
The Flow Hemp has not had any of the lint-shedding issues I've had with both of the Datsusara gis, possibly something solved in more recent editions of the Datsusara. I've been using the Flow Hemp regularly for a month, washing it five times over that period (three times at 40 degrees celsius, twice at 30) and drying it in the sun. Pre-washing, the trousers were 93cm long, shrinking to 89cm after their trips to the washing machine. The jacket started off with a wingspan of 158cm and 75cm shoulder to hem: that's dropped to 153cm on the wingspan, but stayed the same shoulder to hem.
In terms of weight, my A1 Flow Hemp jacket comes in at 800g, the same as my A1 The Green Gi jacket. When you add in the trousers, the Flow Hemp weight goes up to 1.6kg. Compare that to my HCG-03 (also A1), which is 1.1kg with just the jacket, increasing to 1.8kg with the trousers. The Flow Hemp jacket is 550gsm, while the trousers are 11oz (376gsm) hemp twill. Comparing the collars of my hemp gis, The Green Gi and Flow look similar, though the covering material has some differences in texture. On the Flow, you can see those diagonal lines I'm used to from cotton twill trousers, whereas the Datsusara has an entirely different bobbled pattern.
The cut of the Flow Hemp jacket is much tighter than the HCG-03, though there is still some give in the chest. In terms of hemp gis, the best fitting jacket I've got is from The Green Gi. Having said that, I do have narrow shoulders for a guy: as you can see from the comparative picture, the A2 Fenom jacket - which is cut for a woman - fits me quite well (for reference, I'm 5'7 and around 145lbs). As with any hemp, the white is a 'natural white', as bleach would damage it: if like me you dry the gi in the sun, that will lighten it somewhat, but not much. Having said that, I can't personally see a huge difference between the white of the Flow Hemp and the white of the cotton Fenom Lotus. The HCG-03 picture was taken indoors last year, but the Fenom and Flow Hemp pictures were taken in my garden, minutes after each other.
The hemp gi is designed to be heavier and take the abuse of daily training while remaining super soft and comfortable. My intention was not produce a light competition hemp gi although the gi is tournament legal. Since it costs a good chunk of change, I want customers to feel the quality the second they lay hands on it.
The additional panel of fabric on the Datsusara trousers goes from just above the knee right down to the bottom of the trousers, whereas the Flow finishes midway down the shin. That's just enough to cover the knee when you're sitting on your heels (e.g., when you're on top in closed guard). It would therefore benefit from a little more length, but it does the job. On the plus side, that makes the trousers slightly lighter: this is another area where the Datsusara has some extra weight. The Flow is bulkier when it comes to belt loops though, boasting six of them grouped in pairs. The HCG-03 only has two, right at the front.
The Flow Hemp gi design is similar to the Pro Series 2.0, with embroidered text in the same places. I am not a fan of text on a gi, but it is less obtrusive this time round. 'Flow Hemp', embroidered in black, green and white on the bottom of the jacket and the right trouser leg, is only eight letters (further minimised by varying the size of the two words: 'hemp' is in a much smaller font underneath 'flow'). The Pro Series 2.0 embroidery had an excessive twenty characters, due to spelling out 'Flow Kimonos Pro Series' in full. There's another small logo in green on the back of the left trouser leg, along with the upper back of the jacket.
Either way, the Flow Hemp is certainly flashier than the Datsusara. In addition to that green, black and white, plus red on the drawstring and some yellow on the patches, there is dark grey too (or is it black? I'm not always great a distinguishing finer differences between shades) contrast stitching. The same colour is used for taping on the side vents, sleeve and trouser cuffs. Much to my pleasure, the patches on the leg from the Pro Series 2.0 have not been carried over: in fact, the Flow Hemp ornamentation is almost all embroidery. The only patches are those typical to most gis, at the bottom of the collar and the top of the trousers.
On balance, the Flow Kimonos 'Flow Hemp' is the best hemp gi I have tried to date (although I should note that I haven't had a chance to try a finished gi product from The Green Gi yet, just that factory reject jacket, plus I haven't experienced the Lucky Gi Hempire). It's comfortable, stylish and durable. The drawstring has the advantages of not getting tangled as can sometimes happen with flat versions, as well as avoiding the irritating length of so many bungee cords. The Flow Hemp isn't excessively blingy, but it's got enough touches of colour to appeal to those with more flamboyant gi tastes. It is also currently the best value hemp gi on the market, available to buy here for $199.99. In general terms, that's still an expensive gi, but put against its competitors (especially the ridiculous $420 price tag for the Hempire), it's affordable, particularly if claims about hemp's durability are well-founded.
How does this compare to a bamboo gi like the bamboo frenzy?
Unfortunately, I've not yet had a chance to try a bamboo gi (if there's a company that wants to send me one, I'd be happy to take a look ;D).
If you haven't read it already, Georgette's review of her bamboo gi is well worth a read, especially as she also discussed the manufacturing process (which is interesting, as that is the part that really lets down the 'green' credentials of bamboo gis).

You have a bad credit record due to circumstances out of your control, and you still need to secure a new loan for some reason. What do you do?
If you are blacklisted, you face the same scenario. We offer bad credit loans to people who have a bad credit records, and assists them in providing more choices and options for their next financial move.
Some credit providers offer short term bad credit loans that really can mean a world of difference to anyone in a cash strapped situation.
Some of them also make it very easy to understand how much interest they charge and how much you can pay back and over what period. These companies usually have a limit on what they are willing to lend to potential clients.
When you are in a financial bind, you need a quick response from a loan company who can understand the serious nature of your predicament, whatever it may be.
It's a good idea to ensure that who-ever you speak to when it comes to acquiring a personal loan, that the financial institution they are connected to, is registered with the National Credit Regulator(NCR).
The NCR, established as part of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 (the Act), regulates South Africas credit and anyone in the industry. The NCR does a view things, including informing the broader public about their rights, deciding on policies, supporting research etc. The National Credit Regulator also enforces the National Credit Act and is concerned with the correct registration and compliance of creditors, credit bureau centers and professional debt counselors.
In South Africa, it's the law to run a credit check on any person who actually applies for a loan. So even companies who may be able to assist you with a loan, even if you have bad credit, will have to comply with this step.
So how did you get to the stage that you need a bad credit loan?
The good news is that it is possible to secure one.
Many credit providers, most of them usually, will not be overly excited to provide credit to anyone with a bad credit record. There are however a few companies who will be able to help you even if you have a not so perfect credit score.
You need to escape the trap of bad debt and if you are responsible, getting a loan even if you have bad credit, may assist you in buying time.
So let's look at what it means to have bad credit.
A person who has a great deal of bad debt is usually far in arrears. Being officially indebted is a legal term and there are factors certain debt professionals like debt counsellors, look at, when deciding whether a person falls under the category.
If you have a bad credit record and need a bad credit loan, you may be at the receiving end of a Section 129 notice which is the first step in legal proceedings between you and your credit provider.
When consumer with bad credit defaults on their payments, it means that your account with the service provider is 20 days behind (in arrears).
The following, contained in the National Credit Act, is a very important concept for anyone to understand who is indebted. "A credit provider cannot take legal action against a consumer before first notifying the consumer of the default and to draw his/her attention to his/her rights in this regard. Should the consumer fail to approach the credit provider or an Ombudsman within 10 days to resolve the matter, the credit provider can take further steps to enforce the debt".
Whatever you current credit record, if you are not yet under debt review you may qualify for a loan even with bad credit.
This is especially useful for anyone who is under financial pressure and needs a lifeline to settle debts or just for an emergency, and who has unfortunately not got a squeaky clean credit history.
Let's take a look at how one ends up in a situation where bad credit loans are an option.
Usually the demands of daily life and the ever increasing cost of living are first in line to blame. We all have financial responsibilities to meet monthly and if we are not careful, they can pile up to the point of being unmanageable.
Taking a short term loan is more advisable than taking a very large sum, and having to pay it off over extended periods of time.
There are a few essential responsibilities in life. If we have families, or if we are single, we need a roof over our heads, and a place to call home. We need to provide food to eat and we need healthcare, and a vehicle to be able to get around.
Unless you inherited a lump sum from a family member, you will at some point have to make debt in order to survive or make a living.
Unfortunately, while we count on structuring our debt around our salaries and whether we will be able to afford monthly installments, the reality is that life isn't that stable and predictable.
We may either be forced to make more debt due to unforeseen circumstances or our salaries may be affected in a way(job loss, retrenchment or new commission structures) which leaves us in the lurch financially. And so the debt cycle spirals further downwards.
Luckily, there is help at hand.

Pistons Mailbag - Thursday, Dec. 1
Keith Langlois●@keith_langlois
December 1, 202210:15 AM EST
A little bit of everything – Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey, Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Livers, Dwane Casey's future, NBA scheduling – is on the menu in this week's edition of Pistons Mailbag.
@wataman66: When are we going to realize Killian Hayes is not the answer at point guard and move to find his replacement? Also, how come Marvin Bagley III doesn't provide effort on defense and setting screens like Jalen Duren?
Langlois: Now seems a curious time to be dismissing Hayes' future when, at 21 and with all of 115 NBA games under his belt, he's shown obvious signs of improvement over the past several weeks. Since injuries to Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey have broadened his role, Hayes is averaging about 11 points and six assists as a starter and shooting about 40 percent from the 3-point arc despite the fact he's had to take a bunch of late-clock attempts that have dragged his average down. And the part about moving to find his replacement … well, they have drafted both Cunningham and Ivey, capable primary ballhandlers, since drafting Hayes. As for Bagley, his primary appeal has always revolved around his scoring ability and the rest has had to catch up. Bagley is still only 23 and while he's athletic, it's different than the type of explosive athleticism Duren possesses. Duren has the physical tools to be a dominant defender and has a thicker frame. It's not effort that separates them.
Langlois: He's fourth on the team in minutes per game behind Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and Bojan Bogdanovic and trails Cunningham, the leader at 33.3, by less than three minutes a game. If the Pistons have all hands on deck, Bey's minutes might tick down a little simply because they've now got some depth on the wing with Bogdanovic, Isaiah Livers, Hamidou Diallo playing well and Kevin Knox making a move. This isn't really an issue.
@the_muels: I've heard rumors about Dwane Casey being moved to the front office next year. If this happens, who are the top head coach candidates and who do you think is most likely to replace him?
Langlois: Whatever you've seen – and, to be clear, I'm not sure where that's coming from – is pure speculation. Casey is 65 and he's been coaching for more than four decades and for the last 12 years consecutively as a head coach. That's a long time in a highly pressurized position. Casey hasn't spoken publicly about how he sees his future unfolding and that's not uncommon for coaches who understand that very few of them get to script their own journeys. Pistons owner Tom Gores' admiration for Casey comes through every time he speaks about the man he persuaded to come to Detroit when he was fresh from the sting of being fired in Toronto while simultaneously being voted Coach of the Year by his peers. General manager Troy Weaver has in Casey a coach who values to a T the same traits in players he seeks. Casey has embraced a mission with a preposterously young team that not many coaches of his stature would have. If Casey moves to the front office, it's almost certain to be his decision. There's no evidence it would be anything but.
@itz_lena/IG: Does Cade need surgery? Will he be able to play 12/20?
Langlois: Cunningham has missed the past 11 games with left shin soreness. Dwane Casey said Sunday, "It's up to the medical group and to Cade and whatever is best for his health. I'm all for it. Whatever he decides to do, I'm 100 percent behind him." It appears he's referring to the options available to Cunningham, which have been reported to be rest and hope the situation resolves or choose to have it surgically repaired. I know that doesn't address whether he'll be able to play in two or three weeks, but as it stands now and for all we know, it's impossible to make that determination at this time. It's possible there'll be clarity ahead of that date, of course.
@StevenWisdom13: When will we be good?
Langlois: A fan base encompasses a wide spectrum of perspectives. Much of it clamored for the Pistons to tear it down and go all in on a rebuilding effort for some or all of a full decade before it was launched late in the 2019-20 season with the decision to trade Andre Drummond. Troy Weaver was hired that summer. He's had three drafts. By any reasonable calculation, given the assets on hand when Weaver arrived, the Pistons are about at the mid-point of a rebuild – assuming everything goes right, which is a high bar to clear in the world of personnel evaluation. When the Pistons won back to back games at Denver and Utah last week, for every fan who celebrated the magnitude of that achievement there might have been another lamenting the prospect of diminished odds of landing Victor Wembanyama. All of that is a long way of saying that if you step back and look at where the Pistons are today, they're as on track as anyone could have reasonably hoped they'd be by December 2022 on the day Drummond was traded. The NBA.com survey of general managers before the season started had the Pistons with a top-three young core. The performances of rookies Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren since that survey was taken have only bolstered that standing. So it all depends on your definition of "good," I guess, but the makings of a good team are already in place. If you account for talent on hand, capacity for growth, draft capital and future salary cap flexibility, I'm not sure what else you'd need to project good days ahead.
@nkm04/IG: What is Killian Hayes like as a person/teammate?
Langlois: From all appearances, he's a perfectly normal 21-year-old – well, a perfectly normal 21-year-old with the rare ability to be good enough at basketball to be drafted in the NBA lottery as a 19-year-old. Hayes has been exposed to more of the world at 21 than most people will be in a lifetime and that affects different people in different ways, I'm sure. But Hayes is also in the mainstream among Pistons players, an overwhelmingly young roster, and he shares so many things in common with most of his teammates. By all accounts, it's a tight group without any unhealthy cliques. Point guards who pass as well and as willingly as Hayes are usually well liked by teammates for good reason. The rookie class of 2020 – Hayes, Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart and Saben Lee, the latter since traded to Utah in the Bojan Bogdanovic deal – came to Detroit under the very odd circumstances imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and they bonded tightly. I think the fact Hayes has been able to weather some tough times in the NBA – starting with a traumatic hip injury in his first days in the league – is a testament to the support he's gotten from those in his inner circle, teammates foremost.
@fatimaelmoukahal/IG: Will Isaiah Livers keep starting?
Langlois: It seems unlikely he'll remain in the starting lineup when one or both of Cade Cunningham or Jaden Ivey is available. Livers started at guard on Tuesday night when both Cunningham and Ivey were out. With Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey and Bojan Bogdanovic all available, he won't be starting at forward. But Livers clearly has earned Dwane Casey's trust at the defensive end and that, combined with his size and the threat of his 3-point shot, are very likely to keep him in the rotation even if Casey has other options, like Hamidou Diallo and Kevin Knox, on the second unit. Livers has a shot, indeed, to be part of closing units fairly routinely if his all-around play continues to ascend. Three-point shooting, size and defensive versatility are very handy traits, it turns out.
@darrylld74/IG: If the Pistons don't get in the top two of the draft, who would you prefer for them to draft?
Langlois: The top two are universally considered to be Victory Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson and after that there are at least a handful and probably two handfuls of candidates to be the third pick in what now – too early to be definitive – is shaping up to be a pretty good draft. I think it's still very likely to be the case that Troy Weaver would take the player he thinks is destined to be the best of the bunch in three or four years, regardless of position. But in a perfect world – with Jalen Duren as a center, Isaiah Stewart as a power forward/center hybrid, Saddiq Bey as a forward and Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and Killian Hayes as guards – that an athletic wing would be a very snug fit. The guys who might qualify to fill that niche include twins Amen and Ausar Thompson of Overtime Elite, Duke's Tariq Whitehead, Villanova's Cam Whitmore or Arkansas' Anthony Black, among others. When the college season gets into the meat of conference play, perhaps the lines will become a little clearer.
@Mrshourite1: They say it "all evens out" through the course of the season but the Pistons seem to always be heavily taxed on the schedule early in the season, leading to rough starts. Our strength of schedule is ridiculous and we play more games than anyone out of the gate. When do we complain?
Langlois: Only Utah (24) has played as many or more games than the Pistons, who'll play their 24th game tonight to match the Jazz. Only Utah (14) had played more road games than the Pistons, who have played 13 away from home. The Pistons have also played the third-toughest schedule based on cumulative opponents' record. So, yeah, it's been a grind so far, compounded greatly by injuries to virtually every key player on the roster. Cade Cunningham has missed 11 games, Marvin Bagley III 13, Alec Burks 12, Isaiah Stewart seven, Jaden Ivey four and Saddiq Bey three. No one has played all 23. That level of disruption is tough for any team to counter, but especially teams as young as the Pistons. One reason they've played so many games, it appears, is to accommodate their trip to Paris in January where they'll play the Chicago Bulls. The game is on a Thursday. They have a home game on the Sunday before the Paris trip and don't play again until the Monday after their return. So three games in a nine-day span. When you've got 173 days to shoehorn 82 games into – that's the amount of time between the Oct. 19 opener and the April 9 regular-season finale – there is only so much wiggle room. You've pretty much got to play a game every other day to make that work and when you have a nine-day span with that few games, it has to be made up elsewhere.

We had a great week in the neighborhood last week! There was a successful candidate's forum for the 51st Assembly District election, and the brand new Sustainability Committee met last night! There were also some amazing things happening in the neighborhood, like Play Music on the Porch Day. This is a grassroots event that started right here in our neighborhood. On the same day, everyone goes outside and plays music on their porch. The event went VIRAL this year and many, many people joined worldwide. This kind of creative, grassroots stuff is what makes me extremely proud to be a member of our awesome community. Even though the HHPNC was not directly involved with this event, it still deserves mentioning and big round of applause.
Due to Labor Day coming up, this is a light week at the neighborhood council. There is, however, a very important joint meeting of the Land Use and Public Safety committees this Thursday. This meeting will address the future of safety and lane configuration on North Figueroa Street through our neighborhood.
Please remember to come out and see us at a meeting or event soon. All meetings are public meetings and we welcome community input on all items being considered.
We look forward to seeing you out in the neighborhood!
We love seeing a full house at our meetings, you are always welcome! If you need translation services, please let us know 3 business days before the meeting by calling our office 213-485-1360.

President Trump has been repeatedly teasing the end of the Obama-era DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and government officials recently said he is likely to cancel the program. In response to the President's latest stance, local immigrants rights organizations Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights and the California Dream Network are organizing a week of protests around Los Angeles County to defend the DACA program and urge President Trump to keep it in place.

So you are here for the Creator's son to complete his Father's creation through you. In this process both you and the planet will yield to his will for them - even though it may only be completed in the cataclysm foreshadowed in Paul's statement that the "world is crucified to me and I to the world". This enigma is becoming more understandable as our quantum physicists point to the possibility of some kind of parallel universe where time and space are relative.
The same truth was revealed in the Biblical letter to the Ephesians in 64 A.D. - "for we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them". Your work is not the slavish, unpleasant toil we have made it by our atheism - "in the sweat of your face you shall eat bread". It is the glorious work that your Maker has given you to "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it". The way you multiply and are fruitful and fill the earth and subdue it will be different from everyone else because you are unique: you are here for your Maker's son to be and do something that he is and does in no other human-being that has ever lived.
All of us have sensed at times an intuitive urge which we usually attribute to something like conscience or heredity and most of us have experienced a strength that seems to come from somewhere other than ourselves, so the fact that our maker's son is within us does not seem impossible. Moreover all of us have found that we face two strong urges if we see someone drowning - an urge to dive in and save - but also an urge not to risk our own lives. This is the meaning and purpose of our existence and the works we are given to do - either we let God's Son live in us or we crucify him and become his enemy.
Because of our self-centredness we easily misinterpret Christ's spirit within us as our socially formed conscience or we see our desire to avoid danger as simply self-preservation, but our nature becomes increasingly warped out of shape until it is utterly carnal and dominated by the world around us. The enemy outside overcomes the friend inside so that we cannot do the good we want, but instead do what we do not want. The more we struggle to free ourselves, the more we sink in our own selfishness. Only our Maker's son within us can free us by his activity!
Broadly speaking, the works we face expose our dominant desire to get and offer us the chance to let Christ give. So our choice of a career exposes our desire to get and provides a chance to give. If we are practical atheists we are committed to providing the food, clothes and shelter which we'll need in this life, so money is an important factor in our career plans. If we are practical theists we'll be preoccupied with what we can give to the world. As we pursue our training and our career our nature becomes increasingly warped out of shape or becomes increasingly shaped by the spirit of our Creator within us - while our needs are met incidentally along with many of our wants.
The results in our world are evident in times like the 2008 recession - bankers who are meant to keep people's money safe and lend it to others at reasonable interest become preoccupied with getting more and more money along with investment bankers who are meant to finance businesses so that more jobs and incomes are created. So the development and subduing of the world that Christ in us is here to do doesn't occur; instead, the world's resources are diminished and stocked away unused by the few who accumulate them. Thus the acquisitive nature dominates families and nations so that greed and anxiety and frustration take hold of men's hearts and minds. The result is a society and world that becomes increasingly comatose and moribund and lacks the lively activity of the Maker's son and his brothers and sisters.
It all starts or turns around with you and me.

История
Населённый пункт основан в 1910 году хакасом Кимом и тувинцем Чончуур-оолом.

В 1912 году со стороны села Усть-Элегест на территорию Арыскана переселились ещё несколько хакасов во главе с бедняком по имени Карамчук.

Год спустя в район будущего села прибыл состоятельный русский Степан по прозвищу Ким, объединивший местные поселения в один населённый пункт. Вскоре была построена водяная мельница на территории местечка Кодурге, началась торговля мукой с соседними населёнными пунктами.

В период с 1913 по 1918 год посёлок был покинут жителями.

В 1925 году дома опустевшего населённого пункта были заняты скрывающимися от преследования кулаками по фамилиям Сындычук и Павельчик.

Через какое-то время в селе был организован колхоз, в создании которого участвовали Конгул-оол Макар и Кыргыс Сырбыкай.

Было организовано МЧАЭ под председательством Шойдака. Организация занималась животноводством, растениеводством и строительством. В 1942 году было 20 групп МЧАЭ, были построены 2 крупных зерносклада.

В 1948 году в колхоз вступили жители местечек Доргун, Кодурге и Кожай, после чего колхоз получил название «Искра», была организована строительная бригада.

В 1955 году колхоз был переименован в «XIX съезд партии», и его центр окончательно закрепился в Арыскане.

Q: Oracle, how to declare local variable inside executable block Typically variables are declared in the DECLARE section, and are available inside BEGIN block. I find this style stiff and tedious.
Is it possible to declare variables inside the BEGIN block just when they are needed? It is stupid to declare new global variable, if it's needed just to store some temporary value for further calculations, queries and assertions.

A: Try this - I added comments in the code for you to understand the visibility domain of each variable. Also you can remove the comment from the last DBMS_OUTPUT to see that var2 is no longer available in the outer code.
set serveroutput on;
<<tag>>
DECLARE
  var1 INT := 1; -- global variable
BEGIN
  DECLARE
     var1 INT := 2; -- local variable
     var2 INT := 0;
  BEGIN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(var1); -- will display 2 (value of local var1);
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(tag.var1); -- will display 1 (value of global var1);
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(var2); -- will display 0 (value of local var2);
  END;
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(var1); -- will display 1 (value of global var1);
 -- DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(var2); -- will crash since var2 is no longer in memory;
END;

A: All languages have own features. This is only instrument.
May be you should divide your code into small chunks(procedures, functions)? If your code placed in 20-30 rows, you will not have problems with declaring variables. From smaller chuncks you can build bigger and reusable code.
Regards

What I've Learned about Protecting Indonesian Forests from Rural China
by Fitri Hasibuan
I work on a sustainable agriculture project in North Sumatra that aims to balance agriculture development and conservation of critical ecosystems. I recently learned some valuable lessons that could impact my work from an unexpected source: a Chinese village with remarkable similarities to my own.

Last November, I traveled to China to see how CI and partners are implementing the conservation agreement model developed by CI's Conservation Stewards Program (CSP). The journey began with a 7-hour drive through mountains and forests to a small village called Lizhiba.
This was my first visit to China. Given its position as the world's most populous country, I imagined the roads and villages would be packed with people. I was wrong. Besides the city of Chengdu, the places we visited were not crowded at all, and traffic was sparse. The villages were actually smaller than those in Indonesia.
Lizhiba consists of about 225 households — mostly small concrete houses that sit alongside the road surrounded by beehives and wandering chickens. The village is located inside the Baishuijiang National Nature Reserve in Gansu province; this reserve provides important habitat for the giant panda and other species.
I was surprised to find that Lizhiba is quite similar to most villages in Indonesia's Pakpak Bharat district, where I work. All are located in mountainous regions with important ecosystem services provided by forests and clean rivers, and villagers in both areas depend on forest for their livelihoods.
In Lizhiba, deforestation was once commonplace, as communities converted forest land into tea plantations and removed firewood and wild herbs from the woods. When it was established in 2008, CSP's conservation agreement here aimed to encourage local people to leave the forest standing by providing them with mutually determined benefits.
I was struck by how, after more than six years of engagement with the local community and the nature reserve bureau, the CSP model has succeeded in reducing deforestation around Lizhiba while empowering the local economy. After extensive discussion with communities about their needs and priorities, the program supported them with fuel-efficient firewood stoves, a tea processing machine and materials and training for alternative livelihoods such as bee- and poultry-keeping and sustainable agriculture activities to replace activities that threaten the forest.
After Lizhiba, we continued on to Xiong Er and Quan Kou villages, where new conservation agreements are now being implemented. During the trip I discussed different conservation projects with a range of people: colleagues from Shan Shui Conservation Center, protected area staff, the county forest officer, environmental experts and local community members.

From these conversations, I concluded that there are three essential ingredients for successful conservation agreements:
A good understanding of local socioeconomic activity and drivers of deforestation.
Building trust and good relations with community leaders.
Strong engagement and support from local forest authorities.
I was particularly impressed by the optimism of the county forestry officer about the Xiong Er project. Based on the lessons learned from a previous CSP project with Mashan village, he is confident that Xiong Er will achieve its goal of reducing deforestation in the surrounding hills and valley in less than three years.
Successful environmental protection depends upon making sure that people's incentives to protect something are stronger than their incentives to destroy it. That's what conservation agreements are all about.
Back in Indonesia, we are in the early stage of designing such agreements with several villages in Pakpak Bharat. My experience in China helped me understand how conservation agreements enable us to work with such communities, and also reminded me that these projects are a continuous learning process for all involved.
Understanding the challenges and lessons learned from Lizhiba will help us to prepare an effective community-based conservation agreement. By adapting what I learned in China, I hope that in five years, Pakpak Bharat will resemble an Indonesian version of Lizhiba.

And they man they call 'Bling' due to his penchant for jewellery proved us correct.
The 23 year-old from Canberra again proved that in an uphill finish, if his motivation is good – there's a little question mark over his grinta – then he's very hard to beat.
He plays up to his nickname, living in Monaco – where else? – and the last we heard was driving a Porsche Cayenne – so we guess he has to keep those win bonuses coming?
He won the Australian Novices Road Race Championship in 2006 and by 2008 was winning junior races at the highest level in Italy and Luxembourg.
In 2009 he rode for the Australian Institute of Sport team and took second in the Australian U23 National Championship road race and third in the time trial – there was also second that year in the major Italian U23 race, the GP Liberazione.
The following season in the colours of Jayco he took two bronzes at the U23 Nationals – road and TT, two stages in the Tour of Langkawi, a stage in the Tour of Japan, two stages in the tough Ringerike in Norway before capping the year with the U23 world road title in Geelong.
Rabobank snapped Matthews up for 2011 and there was no 'settling in,' he began to win from the start with a stage in the Tour Down Under, a stage in the Tour of Murcia and the Rund um Koln.
Matthews was with the Dutch team in 2012 and the wins came in the Clasica Almeria and a Tour of Utah stage.
Last year he made the logical move to Aussie squad Orica-GreenEDGE and immediately took two medals at the Elite Nationals, bronze in the time trial and silver in the road race then there were two stages in Utah and another brace of stages in the Vuelta – exceptional for a young rider.
This year has been another beautiful one for the man who has all it takes to be world road champion, one day.
He's won stages in the Pais Vasco and Tour de Slovenie and in the Giro he shared in his team's opening TTT win, wore pink and took a stage with the maglia rosa on his back.
He's now won a stage and worn the leader's jersey in two out of the season's three Grand Tours.
It was good to see Contador make the split today and Froome is feeling frisky whilst Quintana keeps his powder dry (copyright Dave Duffield) for when the real climbs come.
Stage Four tomorrow is flat early but with a second cat. climb late in the day will hurt the pure sprinters too much; Matthews could win again – or maybe Sagan will show us that he can still finish higher than second in a Grand Tour Stage ?
We had Frank Sinatra for the sprint series last night during the Bremen Six Day 2012, never a bad thing. Bed was just before midnight and I didn't get up until 09:00 - just braw.


Buddyhead reports today that during the filming of the "What's going on video", the blindfolds that *NSYNC's Justin Timberlake and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst were supposed to wear had "Gay" written on them. Both stars refused to wear the bandanas and stormed off the set. Perhaps in a carryover from the move, Justin Timberlake was a no-show at the press conference for Call For Action: Stop Global AIDS Campaign in Las Vegas just before the Billboard Music Awards.


Around 1940, well before he was designated as a Living National Treasure (人間国宝), Keisuke Serizawa started elaborating designs around the forty-seven graphs of the cursive Japanese phonetic script known as Hiragana. Read downward from the right in columns, the syllables are arranged in the same traditional order as in an ancient poem that uses each of them once only, starting i-ro-ha: which is why this design is named Iroha Syllables. The design of this cotton handkerchief is the more graphic result achieved around the theme, which Serizawa generally preferred during the 60s and 70s. Made of high quality Shantung cotton, it measures 53x53cm.

GREAT NEWS: Former Black Stars player agrees on personal terms with Asante Kotoko and set to join soon as possible
It has been less than a week since it was reported that former Black Stars player Lee Addy had been signed by Becham United, and now it has been confirmed that Kumasi Asante Kotoko have reached an agreement with Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and his management.

According to Kessben TV, Kumasi Asante Kotoko have agreed to Emmanuel Agyemang-personal Badu's terms and he is set to join them, but it is only up to the technical team to approve or work on it.
This is fantastic news for Ghanaian local football, particularly the Ghana Premier League. The Ghana Premier League already has two Black Stars legends, Sulley Ali Muntari and Samuel Inkoom, and it was reported last week that Lee Addy has joined the league.
This means that four former Black Stars players will play in the Ghana Premier League in 2022/2023: Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Lee Addy, Sulley Ali Muntari, and Samuel Inkoom.
If Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu joins Asante Kotoko, he will face former Black Stars teammates in the Ghana Premier League.

7. Cook for 6-8 minutes, cookies must still be soft in the inside.
8. Leave to cool on the baking sheet for a short while before transferring them to a cooling rack where they will harden.
