Here's the most inspired moment from last night's Chuck, in which Sarah thinks she's sending an S.O.S. to Chuck, and Morgan thinks she's making an erotic connection. Rrrrroww! We're glad Chuck is back, even though this wasn't the greatest episode.
Spoilers ahead...
Mostly, this was a pretty solid season opener, which sets up the new Chuck status quo — the CIA have rebuilt the Buy More, which was blown up at the end of the previous season, except now it's like a super spy base with trap doors and a big red button that takes the U.S. to Defcon One and everything. And even though Chuck has promised his sister Ellie that he'll quit the spy biz, he's gotten a message from his late dad telling him to search for his missing mom. Chuck and Morgan try to search for Chuck's mom on their own, but this winds up involving them in Sarah and Casey's investigation into a Russian arms dealer, Volkoff, and they all wind up in Moscow, where Chuck has to save Sarah's life.
But I have to be honest: This episode felt a bit hit and miss to me. There were long stretches where I felt the show was just flailing a bit. There were a few reasons for this, including: 1) a more-than-usually-contrived plotline (Chuck tells Morgan about his mom, but not Sarah?); 2) some comedic bits that fell flat, like Harry Dean Stanton being willing to kill for good dumplings; 3) Olivia Munn, who is a perfectly fine performer but just not an actor or comedian; 4) The lack of anybody to keep the story "grounded," like Big Mike, Jeff, Lester, or Ellie (except the last act.) 5) Most of all, they've set it up so that Chuck is now the best spy EVAR and everybody wants him to do it, and it's the only thing he likes doing, so yet another "Chuck quits the spy life" story felt like one too many.
That said, there were several great moments in the episode, including the aforementioned "sexting" scene. I also liked Chuck and Morgan criss-crossing the country just to end up back in L.A. Chuck's bad job interviews were also terrific, and I liked that the secret "Tangiers" strategy that Chuck and Morgan always resort to consists of just running away really fast. Morgan was generally cute, and Casey had a few great moments of snarkitude. And I loved Chuck's mom (Sarah Connor!) taking down all of the bad guys at the end, even if it did make me wonder how they'd been keeping her prisoner for a dozen years.
All in all, it was a fun ride, despite the stuff I mentioned earlier. Season openers are often among the weakest episodes of ongoing shows, because they have to do all the heavy lifting of setting up a new status quo and catching (or deflecting) all the balls that the season finale left in the air.
I do have a longer-term worry though — I wonder if this show is going to wind up too far from its roots. In earlier years, the Buy More was actually the place where Chuck and Morgan worked, and even though Chuck (and later Morgan) had this fabulous spy life waiting for them downstairs in the Castle, they still had to deal with the oppression and alienation of working in the retail sector — dealing with annoying customers, having obnoxious customer-service ratings contests imposed by middle management, etc. And the "fish out of water" thing was part of what made this show so special, with Chuck clearly not cut out for spying. Of course, spying has been Chuck's element for a long time, but now Morgan seems at home in the spy world as well. And their workplace, the Buy More, is never going to be anything more than a front, where their participation will be a performance to fool any enemy spies that might be investigating. So you have to wonder how this show will stay grounded. But here's hoping next week's episode brings back more of the non-spy cast, and we see a more balanced outing.
What did you guys think?

How to: Unlock your iPhone with SAM
How to: Unlock your iPhone with SAM
I thought the IMSI unlock saga is done and dusted but apparently there are more to it. All credit goes to Loktar_Sun from weiphone.com who pursued an earlier lead that many, yours truly included, have gave up as a viable exploit.
What do you need: A jailbroken iPhone that can be activated in iTunes (that is, not officially blacklisted), a computer with the latest iTunes installed and working internet connection. You will also need to know the carrier that your iPhone is locked to.
1. Step one: Install Sam Bingner's SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) package. I recommend that you get it from repo.bingner.com since older versions have a different interface and may not work for this purpose.
2. Enter SAM by either going through the settings menu or find the SAMPrefs icon on your springboard. You will need to have the SIM card you intend to use in your phone.
3. Go to utilities and select "De-Activate iPhone", your ActivationState under "More Information" should now be "Unactivated"
4. With SAM enabled, choose "By Country and Carrier" in "Method"; find your carrier, for some carriers operating more than one Carrier ID you may need to select "SIM ID"; easy to tell since iTunes will not activate if the wrong IMSI is selected.
5. Go to More Information", copy or write down the IMSI in "SAM Details", then tap "Spoof Real SIM to SAM".
6. Go back to the main SAM screen and change your "Method" to manual. Paste or enter the IMSI string we saved in Step 5.
7. Connect your iPhone to your computer and allow iTunes to do its job (namely re-activating your phone), double click "Phone Number" parameter at the main device screen and make sure that the ICCID matches that of your SIM card. If not you need to start over from Step 1.
8. Unplug your phone, close iTunes.
9. Disable SAM. The source article says to uninstall SAM and delete your lockdownd folders; it's unnecessary.
10. Connect your phone to iTunes again, you should get an error saying that your phone cannot be activated. This is normal. Just close iTunes and open it again.
11. You should see signal bars in a short time, congratulations.
12. Push notifications may stop working after this procedure but can be easily restored with "clear push" utility in SAM followed by connecting to iTunes.
Your phone will work normally with your SIM card and that SIM card ONLY since we have tricked iTunes to think that ICCID is one of the intended carrier's. The phone can be rebooted and connected to iTunes freely without losing the "unlock", at least for now.
Since it does not involve emergency numbers or IMSI spoofing it will not have any of the issues associated with SIM interposers. Tested working on iOS 5.01 but should work with tethered 5.1 too.

How do you encrypt files in a Zip file with WinZip?
WinZip provides two alternatives for encrypting files.
The most efficient way to encrypt files is to do so while you are adding them to a Zip file (.zip or .zipx).
WinZip ribbon interface
Legacy menus/toolbar
If you are creating a Zip file in a folder window using the context menu (right click), you will have an option to encrypt the files if the Add dialog is displayed. If you choose to add files to an existing Zip file using Add to recently used Zip file there will be no Add dialog and therefore no opportunity to encrypt the files while they are being added. In such a case, you can encrypt files after they have been added.
To encrypt files already in a Zip file:
In either case, WinZip will ask for a password (and encryption method if you are using the Classic interface) and then encrypt all files currently in the Zip file.
If a file in the Zip file is already encrypted, it will first be decrypted and then re-encrypted using the password and encryption method you specified. WinZip will first try to decrypt the file using the current password; if the file cannot be decrypted with this password, WinZip will ask you for the correct password. If you are unable to supply the correct password, the file can be skipped, and it will remain unchanged in the Zip file. The password you entered in the Encrypt dialog box will remain active until either you delete or replace it, or you close the archive.
Jailbreak basics: Everything you need to know for iPhone and iPad
|by Allyson Kazmucha, Tuesday, Nov 9, 2010, 65 Comments
We see quite a few questions in our Jailbreak Forums about jailbreak basics. So, we've decided to compile a master list of some basic jailbreak magic right here in one place. Hopefully this will help a lot of you beginner jailbreakers learn the ropes (and maybe even help some of you decide whether the leap to the jailbreak world has its advantages for you). We've included common jailbreak lingo, popular jailbreak apps and tools, and videos highlighting some awesome jailbreak utilities!
Common ways to Jailbreak
There are usually several ways to Jailbreak depending exactly when a new version of iOS is released, when a new exploit is found, and when new Jailbreaks are released. Some are one-button easy, others command-line complicated. Here are the latest and the simplest.
If you're not sure, here's how to find out which iOS software and iPhone modem firmware you're running.
iOS 4.3.3 (AT&T/GSM) Jailbreak (untethered)
iOS 4.2.6 (Verizon) Jailbreak (untethered)
Common Jailbreak Terms
The most obvious of all terms, but yet the most confused. Jailbreaking simply allows users to have access to certain core functionality that Apple doesn't give us stock. A jailbreak also gives users access to applications Apple may have rejected via Cydia. It also allows custom loading of apps (on Android, loading applications yourself is referred to as side-loading, just as rooting is to Android, jailbreak is to iPhone). On the iPhone you can use the SSH method or use iPhone Explorer. Jailbreaking allows customization at its core meaning, but shouldn't be confused with unlocking.
Unlocking your iPhone allows you to use it on any GSM carrier. Simply meaning, if you have an AT&T iPhone, unlocking it will allow you to use it on T-Mobile USA or even Rogers Wireless in Canada by simply inserting a different SIM card. A lot of jailbreakers will unlock their iPhones not only to use on a different carrier, but to increase resale value. The unlock process can change from firmware to firmware but typically, you'll need to jailbreak your phone and then install a program via Cydia like ultrasn0w or yellowsn0w, which will then unlock your iPhone.
Apple has the App Store, jailbreakers have Cydia in addition to the default App Store. And if you want to be technical, Cydia was THE first App Store. It was available with iOS 1.x and allowed jailbreakers to download apps before the App Store even existed. Those who jailbroke their first generation iPhones on 1.x have seen several jailbreak ideas and concepts become parts of iOS. We would mention Rock here, but seeing as Cydia acquired Rock, there's probably no point now. Another term you may hear when it comes to Cydia is repos, or repositories. These are simply sources you add in the manage section. ModMyi and BigBoss are two of the largest. They are already added when you install Cydia. You are always welcome to add custom repos if you choose. I highly advise only adding repos from trusted sources. If you have a weird feeling about adding it, I'd probably pass.
Recovery Mode/DFU Mode
Many people still confuse these two terms. They ARE different. There IS an easy way to tell which mode your phone is in. If your screen shows a connect to iTunes logo with a slide for emergency option, you are in recovery mode. If the slide for emergency option is not there and you only see the connect to iTunes logo, you are in DFU mode (DFU mode can also present as a blank screen as well).
The main difference between these two modes is what they will and won't bypass for installs. Recovery mode will implement iBoot (basically a portion of the bootloader than runs an integrity check) which will not allow you to downgrade your device. DFU mode will still talk to iTunes but it bypasses iBoot which will then allow you to downgrade firmware. Most jailbreaks will require DFU mode for these reasons. To enter DFU mode, you will follow these steps:
- Turn off your iPhone
- Hold down your power and home buttons
- Release the power button when the Apple logo appears, but continue holding down the home button. You should be presented with a Connect to iTunes logo.
- Plug in your phone and iTunes should yell at you and say you must restore the device before it can be used.
SHSH Blobs
A lot of people ask about this one and why Cydia wants to save them. When you upgrade firmware in iTunes, you'll see at the top when you start a restore "Verifying restore with Apple". Apple only signs current firmware versions. If you accidentally upgrade and then try to downgrade, your restore will fail. SHSH blobs save you from this headache. It will basically give iTunes a fake hand to shake, which in turn, makes iTunes think your restore has been verified. This can be a life saver if you accidentally upgrade and need to downgrade. TinyUmbrella will save SHSH blobs to the Cydia server as well. I highly recommend saving your blobs for every firmware version in case you ever find yourself in this predicament. We have posted a guide on how to save SHSH blobs via TinyUmbrella.
The baseband is essentially the part of your device that controls the antennae. This has everything to do with your service and signal. This is why most unlockers have to be extremely careful when upgrading. If the baseband changes, it can permanently keep them from achieving an unlock. This is the main reason most unlockers tend to favor PwnageTool. It creates a custom firmware bundle for you to upgrade to that doesn't upgrade the baseband, only the main OS. If you are running on a legitimate carrier and don't care about unlocking, the baseband it typically less of a concern. Wifi and Bluetooth don't run on the baseband either, so iPod touch or iPad owners typically don't have concerns when it comes to new baseband versions.
On a desktop you have a desktop, on an iPhone you have a springboard. It's basically the interface you constantly interact with. Another term you'll come in contact with is respringing. This is basically the act of restarting the springboard. Some jailbreak apps you install will require you to do this. All changes in the appearance of your phone via Winterboard (explained below) will require a respring as well. It's nothing more than refreshing your desktop on a computer.
Common Jailbreak Utilities
A lot of people jailbreak for the ability to change the look of their iPhone. Enter Winterboard, which is a free download via Cydia. It's a necessary utility to install themes and most customizations. Many veteran jailbreakers will remember the days of Summerboard as well. Winterboard took its place a few years back and improved upon several things. When you install a theme, all the components will show up in Winterboard. Depending upon how a theme developer decided to bundle their theme, you may have only one package in Winterboard, or you may have several. I personally prefer when developers separate theme elements. Since Winterboard works as a hierarchy, I can select a theme and if I don't like the sounds, I can download a sound pack I "do" like and apply that in Winterboard. The key is to move it above the main theme so it overrides the sounds I don't want. I highly suggest jailbreakers to become very familiar and comfortable with Winterboard. If you do, there is no limit to what you can do to your phone and you'll be able to tweak and customize even the littlest details of your springboard.
This free utility allows you to add quick toggles that will drop down onto your springboard. There are also several plug-ins and themes you can download for SBSettings as well. It'll also allow you to hide icons you don't want or use. This is especially useful for hiding stock apps you can't uninstall. I hide the default weather and stock apps among others that are simply wasting space on my springboard. You'll also be able to more closely keep tabs on your memory and running processes. This was extremely useful before multitasking. It's still useful today for freeing up memory and seeing what may be eating through battery or slowing your phone down.
Prior to 3.x, iOS didn't cache icons in a way that created issues. The problem now with 3.x and beyond is the way the file system caches icons. When you switch themes, sometimes you'll notice certain icons don't change or they stay stuck on the last theme you had active. Prior to iWipecache, you had to SSH into your phone and delete the cache in certain folders and respring. iWipecache simplifies this process and does it for you on the go. It's a free utility and something I'd highly recommend to anyone who likes to change UI elements and themes frequently. If there is ever a time iWipeCache doesn't work, especially under iOS 4.x, try going into Winterboard and toggling Summerboard mode on and off, then respringing. This seems force even the most stubborn icons to change.
Open SSH is a utility that allows SSH access to your device. You can then use an SSH client to access your device's main file system for editing. Simpler utilities now exist, such as iPhone explorer which you'll download to your PC or Mac. When you plug your iPhone, iPod, or iPad in, it will bring up the file system and you can edit without SSH access. I recommend using a utility like iPhone explorer over SSH as it's safer. SSH can open you up to hackers and give others access to your file system if you forget to disable it. SSH is also a huge battery hog. The only benefit is that you don't have to have your phone plugged in to SSH. You must be plugged in to use a utility like iPhone explorer. If you decide to use the SSH option, make sure to change your iPhone root and user passwords. You can visit our Jailbreak Forums if you need help doing this.
Notification Replacement Apps
There are more than a few choices when it comes to selecting a notification app. LockInfo, Intelliscreen, and Notified Pro are all acceptable selections. Most offer trials so it's really up to personal preference. I'm a major fan of LockInfo and find it much more user friendly than Intelliscreen. Notified Pro has also been gaining some ground and continues to add many improvements as well. Since Apple has yet to improve upon their notification system, I highly suggest checking these out and implementing one of them. You'll be happy you did. I've already posted a guide to setting up LockInfo so be sure to check that out as well.
SMS Apps and Add-Ons
There are many apps that improve SMS capabilities as well. I personally use BiteSMS but apps such as TLert and iRealSMS are more than acceptable candidates as well. QuickReply for SMS is also a good app but be warned that the developer has decided to not continue with it. It's rumored to go free (if it hasn't already). So if you're okay with the current bugs and don't expect updates, it may be an acceptable option for you. Most of these apps allow you to reply quickly to texts without it interrupting your work-flow. They'll also allow you to create gestures on the springboard which will allow you to quickly send an SMS without ever leaving the current app you're already in.
Many users are left bitter when certain carriers want to charge them an additional fee just for the privilege of tethering. MyWi is a wonderful little app and in my opinion, a major reason to jailbreak on its own. MyWi alllows you to create a wifi hotspot with your iPhone. I have a wifi only iPad and I never even considered purchasing the 3G version. I simply tether my iPad to my iPhone. Just be wary of doing this if you don't have an unlimited data plan. As of writing this, MyWi currently costs $19.99. It may seem like a hefty price tag but you'll pay that in data and/or tethering fees in less than 2 months. You'll only pay for MyWi once. You do the math.
Similar to MyWi, this app is a tweak that allows you to lift certain restrictions carriers and Apple have in place. It will allow you to trick your phone into thinking you have a wifi connection when you are really on the carrier network. This trick comes in handy if you need to download an app over 20MB and aren't in range of wifi. It also allows you to use FaceTime over 3G as well. There is also another app called 3G Unrestrictor which will also allow you to make FaceTime calls over 3G.

Importing Flip video into iMovie for iOS
by James Galbraith, Macworld.com Mar 28, 2011 8:15 am
The iPad 2 offers a number of exciting new features. Chief among them is the ability to capture video from the integrated cameras and edit them with the new iMovie for iOS 1.2. Unfortunately, the video camera on the iPad is better suited for FaceTime video calls than for capturing a child's first steps, or similarly important moments, for posterity.
Thankfully, you can import video files captured from other devices, though compatibility is hit or miss. We haven't had any luck importing files captured from Canon DSLRs, but we have had some success with Cisco's Flip video cameras. If you have a Flip, here's how it works.
Step 1: Capture a movie
Cisco Flip camcorder
Use your Flip to shoot some video.
Step 2: Connect your Flip to the iPad
Apple Camera Connection Kit
Pop out the Flip's built-in USB connector and connect it to the iPad 2 using the Apple Camera Connection Kit's USB adapter. Note: On the Flash Ultra HD Flip camcorder I used, I had to plug in a powered USB hub between the Flip and the Camera Connection Kit. The Flip Mino HD did not require a hub.
Step 3: Import to Photos App
Once the Flip is connected to the iPad, the Photos application will launch. A Camera tab will open and thumbnails of your Flip's clips will load in the window. If you'd like to import all of the clips, immediately hit the blue Import button at the bottom of the screen. To select individual clips to import, simply tap the thumbnail image and a blue checkmark will appear on the thumbnail. After you've selected your clips, then tap the blue Import button at the bottom of the screen.
The app will ask if you want to import all or just the selected clips. Make your choice, and the app will begin importing your images. When the iPad is done importing, Photos will ask if you'd like to delete the files from the camera. Speaking from prior experience, I recommend choosing Keep Files, and make sure that the movies or photos transferred successfully before deleting anything from the camera.
Step 4: Launch iMovie
Tap the iMovie icon on your iPad. When the iMovie app opens, Tap the + (plus) icon at the bottom of the screen to start a new project.
Step 5: Edit your video
The video clip, as well as anything you've captured to the iPad or imported via syncing, will show up in the upper left hand side of the screen in a window called Video. Tap on the clip and a blue arrow appears, along with a yellow handle at each end of the clip. You can tap and drag the handles to select the section of the clip you want to bring onto your timeline and click the blue arrow to bring it into your project to edit. That's it!
Have you had either luck or problems getting your video clips into iMovie for iOS? Post your suggestions or questions in this story's comment section.

An odd thing ... I had been trying to get on the forum for the past couple of days, but whenever I went to pitbulltalk.com (not the index page, just typing in www.pitbulltalk.com), I landed on a page for a company called Klein Developments.
It finally occurred to me today to type in "index.php" after the .com to see if I could access the index page and it worked ... but I figured I'd mention the not-PBT company that seems to be sharing a homepage with the forum these days.
Anyone else notice this? Or maybe it's always been this way, but somehow I've never encountered it?

This weekend, President Obama goes for the Sunday talk-show equivalent of the all-out blitz.
He'll do the Big 3 Sunday morning shows, "Meet The Press," "Face The Nation"and "This Week." He'll even appear on CNN's "State of the Nation" and Spanish-language Univision. Okay, he's not doing FOX News Sunday, but if you do miss him over the weekend, you can catch the president Monday night on "Late Show with David Letterman."
Democrats are getting pummeled on health care and are in full retreat from their left-wing allies ACORN. Obama's overall job approval has suffered since taking office, down from 70% in the heady early days -- to around 50% now. It's fair to wonder if Obama, who has given over 100 interviews since taking office, is being overexposed.
U.S. & World
It isn't the first time the "overexposure" question has been posed. George Will posed it six weeks into the Obama presidency. And a few others piled on too. And the question was even addressed in this space.
But there's one good reason why the White House is willing to get Obama out there again and again: He's simply the Democrats' best salesman on health care and a host of other issue that Democrats can deploy. A Pew Research poll released Thursday underscores the fact. Despite the falling job approval numbers, Obama's personal characteristics remain remarkably strong with the public.
Yes, there has been erosion after eight months of often brutal partisan debate. But the public view of Obama on all but one of a series of personal attributes -- "strong leader," "well-organized," "trustworthy," etc., are in the 60s at least. Even the one outlier, "Is able to get things done," registers at 58%. That's a good foundation for a president still trying to make a sale. If his personal qualities had collapsed along with his job approval, the public would immediately tune him out wherever he appeared. The fact the public still likes Obama gives him an enormous amount of power to keep impacting the debate.
One side note: That continuing good will also explains why the White House refuses to be drawn into the "racism" debate. If Obama gave any credence to the claims of Jimmy Carter and others that criticism of him is race-based, those personal attribute numbers would fade. After all, if racism remained such a factor in public antipathy toward Obama, why would 64% of Americans still consider him "trustworthy?"
When you watch the president on TV this weekend, remember: Your best salesman is only overexposed when the customers don't believe him or want what he's selling. The White House doesn't believe Obama has reached that point.

LITTLE ROCK — A Pulaski County circuit judge erred in dismissing a death-row inmate's petition alleging that he had ineffective counsel at his trial, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
LITTLE ROCK — A Pulaski County circuit judge erred in dismissing a death-row inmate's petition alleging that he had ineffective counsel at his trial, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The court ordered a new hearing for Andrew Engram, now 59, who was condemned to die in 1999 for raping and killing Laura White, a security guard who worked at a North Little Rock mall.
In September 2006, after a series of unsuccessful appeals, Engram filed a petition arguing that he could not be executed because he was mentally retarded and that he received ineffective counsel from his court-appointed trial lawyer.
In its unanimous opinion Thursday, the Supreme Court said the petition "inexplicably languished in the circuit court for almost six years" before Circuit Judge Barry Sims dismissed it in April 2012 without ever having conducted a hearing on it.
Sims ruled that the petition was not filed in a timely manner.
Engram argued that a lawyer who formerly represented him during his appeals, Lea Ellen Fowler, missed a deadline to file a petition and then covered for her mistake by telling a judge that there were no grounds to support a petition alleging ineffective counsel, also known as a Rule 37 petition.
Attached to Engram's latest appeal is a statement by Little Rock lawyer Jeff Rosenzweig, who said that lawyer Craig Lambert, who at the time was romantically involved with Fowler, had told him that Fowler missed the deadline to file a petition for Engram. Rosenzweig said he later was in court on an unrelated matter when he heard Fowler tell a judge that she would not pursue Rule 37 relief.
"This information … is enough to give rise to a question of whether there is good cause for Engram's failure to timely file a Rule 37 petition," Justice Donald Corbin wrote in the Supreme Court's opinion.
The high court sent the case back to circuit court for a hearing on whether Engram had good cause to file the petition after the deadline had passed.

Egress Windows for Basements in Orono, Minnesota
American Construction Services provides top quality Egress window installation for your home's basement.
If you're considering replacing, building or renovating your basement, Egress windows are a must. Mandated by local governments, these specialized window fixtures come with a set of requirements that need to be included in every new or replaced fixture. The experts at American Egress Windows, a company that is widely respected and highly rated in the Orono area, have installed hundreds of Egress windows and always ensure a job well done.
Egress windows have become the new requirement in homes for one, simple reason: safety. The design requirements behind Egress windows support their use in that they must accommodate safe passage in and out of a home in case of emergency, such as fire. These windows are required to be easily accessible with no locks on the interior and requiring no use of tools to open them. They must meet the height requirements of 24" with the opening needing to be at least 20" wide. Additionally, Egress windows can only reach a maximum of 44" from the ground. If you have a finished basement or plan on adding a living space to any part of your home or even if you're just upgrading your window fixtures, you'll need to abide by these regulations. American Construction Services is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to these strict set of requirements for Egress window installation. Don't worry about putting your needs into the hands of an amateur and instead trust in the professionals at American Construction Services to get the job done right.
On the plus side, Egress windows come with the freedom of flexibility, aside from the minimum requirements. Egress windows come in many designs, the four most popular being casement, double or single hung, sliding and tilt turn. With so much variety to choose from and the option to customize and personalize the window well in which they sit, Egress windows allow you the opportunity to have a window fixture you can really call your own. With the help of American Construction Services, the selection process is made easy with input from professionals.
Adhering to their nine-step process with meticulous care, American Construction Services creates excellence with every installation. Not only do they install window fixtures, they also dig and build window wells. Window wells are the holes dug to provide a passage in and out of your Egress window. Some are built with stairs or terraces, but most are simply lined with material. Terrace and step options provide appeal and make the window well look like a well-designed part of your home. For a more functional, discreet approach, window wells made of plastic or metals are also an option. American Construction Services digs and installs window wells in addition to installing your Egress Windows. As a fully functional company, American Construction Services takes care of the job from start to finish, so you won't have to worry about paying a separate contractor.
Whether it's a home remodel you've been thinking about or even just replacing the windows in your Orono home to improve functionality and energy efficiency, you'll need a professional to get the job done for you. It's not a project you want to take on by yourself or even cut costs by using an inexperienced contractor. A job well done is worth the cost and you'll only be saving yourself money over the years by curbing your energy, heat and cooling costs. New windows can not only save you money on your bills, but also increase the appeal of your home overall. Egress windows are a beautiful addition to any home amongst their many other benefits.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After playing its last five matches on the road Tennessee State will return to Kean Hall on Saturday for a match-up with SIU Edwardsville.
TSU last took the floor on Wednesday, dropping its contest with cross-town rival Belmont, 3-0. Freshman Arijana Anderson finished with 10 kills to lead Tennessee State's offensive attack. The Tigers attack was directed by senior setter Erika Moss, who finished with 23 assists. Junior Ileanushka Maldonado finished with a team high 13 digs.
The visiting Cougars come into the match following a five set loss to Western Division leading Eastern Illinois. Three SIUE attackers finished with 14 or more kills in the match (Kristen Torre 15, Taylor Held 14, Cori Harris 14). Harris (14 kills and 15 digs) and Mallory Mangun (43 assists and 12 digs) finished with double-doubles for the Cougars.
With the OVC regular season slate wrapping up the Tigers sit in the eighth and final play-off spot. In order to guarantee a spot in next week's OVC tournament Tennessee State will need to win Saturday. With a win the Tigers would leapfrog SIUE into the seventh seed.
To do that TSU will look to ignite its offensive attack, led by junior leader Naomi Wells. Coming into tomorrow's match the Huntsville, Ala. native leads the OVC in both kills and points per set.
As a team the Tigers are averaging the sixth best kills per set among conference members with 12.60 per frame.
A big reason for the offense's success this season has been senior and two-time All-OVC setter Erika Moss. The Fort Wayne, Ind. native ranks third in the conference in assists per set, averaging 10.25. Tennessee State as a whole is averaging 11.95 helpers per frame which ranks fifth in the Ohio Valley.
SIUE boasts one of the best defensive units in the conference. The Cougars hold the top spot in the OVC in terms of digs per set with 18.04. Junior Chelsea Colclasure is the team leader in the category for SIUE with a pace of 5.43 digs per stanza.
The Cougars are also limiting opponents to a hitting percentage of .187 the second lowest in the conference.
Offensively SIUE is led by a senior and freshman combo. Freshman setter Mallory Mangun ranks seventh in the conference in assists averaging 9.55 helpers per set. On the other end of many of Mangun's passes has been senior Kelsey Augustine, who ranks 10th in the OVC for hitting percentage (.268).
The two teams will take the floor on Saturday, with first serve slated for noon. Prior to the contest Tennessee State will honor senior Erika Moss and redshirt junior Naomi Wells as a part of the Tennessee State's senior day festivities.

This is Not a Virus
I recently spent a week at home with the flu. But the virus that really pisses me off is on my computer. Actually, it's not on my computer. It's on someone else's computer. It's just high tech enough to convince thousands of people that it's on mine.
As a public service, I am going to explain how these viruses work. Then I am going to hunt down the people that write viruses and string them up by the hair on their big toes.
Let's imagine a scenario. John, after spending hours of downloading internet porn, gets an email from a recognizable address. The email is cryptic or garbled or blank, and comes with an attachment with an extension of .scr, .pif, .eml, or .zip. And John, hoping it's more porn, downloads it anyway. John is an idiot. John is still smarter than most people who own computers.
John's computer, aside from being infected with numerous STDs, is now also infected with a worm virus. Worms typically send themselves out to everyone in an infected address book – from both John and other people in the address book. John is the only one with the virus. But because of how the virus replicates, it looks like other people have it, too. Which is convenient because as a people, humans are excellent at trying to blame someone.
When you're sick, what do you do? Look for the last person who was sniffling near you and blame them. And the following week when someone blames you for getting them sick, you get all pissed off and tell them it couldn't be your fault. That's the same selfish set of values that allows us to move someone else's laundry when they're 15 minutes late and then flip out when they do it to us.
This week, someone with a virus had both me and my old Yahoo mailing list in their address book. So what happened? A blank e-mail with a mysterious attachment was sent out from me to my old mailing list. Never mind that in four years, I've never once sent an attachment. Never mind that I have never sent my mailing list an e-mail on a Tuesday. Never mind that I haven't used that mailing list in three weeks. Several dozen people downloaded it anyway. And of course, they blamed me.
Some sent me warning e-mails. Some unsubscribed (from my old mailing list, so who cares?). And some got angry. VERY angry. I was flooded with e-mails asking me why I'd sent them a virus. Because I must have done that on purpose. Was I sitting around, upset that I had a burgeoning career as a columnist, and decided to do something about it? "I know how to destroy my career," I must have said, "I will maliciously spread a virus! Let me see, who do I want to hate me? Oh, screw that, I'll just send it to everyone!"
Let's say you opened the virus, thinking I'd decided to reuse my old mailing list on a Tuesday to send out my first attachment, attached to a blank email. So now you have a computer virus. It's still your fault. Think about it this way: if someone blows their nose near you, and then you open their tissue and rub it all over your face, can you really blame them when you wake up sneezing the next day?
Computer viruses have been around for many years and it's time we understand them. If you get an email that confuses you with an attachment that looks suspicious, delete it. You know why you don't? Because you're afraid you could be missing something. But if your friend or boss or porn site had something important to send, they'd re-send it.
And if you do miss the occasional e-mail, so what? For me, e-mails and females are very similar. If there were a 95% chance that opening something would give me a virus, I'd forget it and move on to the next piece.
If you do get a computer virus from someone, don't get angry at them. Though if it's a non-computer virus, you can string them up by the hair on their big toe. When you get that cryptic e-mail (and you will), cut the "sender" some slack. Soon enough, someone will be blaming you. And then you'll have to go back and explain the whole worm virus thing to them. Maybe you can show them this column as proof.
If you haven't already unsubscribed.

Tower Heist (as I'm sure you all know by now) is the story of a group of hotel employees who, after being defrauded by one of their hotel's residents, decide to even the score by breaking into his apartment and robbing him. It features Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Michael Peña and others in a sort of "Robin Hood and his Merry Men" for the Bernie Madoff era.
I just wish it had been funnier.

Designer Betsey Johnson walks the runway at the Betsey Johnson Spring 2012 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Theater at Lincoln Center on September 12, 2011 in New York City. Photos/Gettys
Betsey Johnson has never been one to follow trends and her spring 2012 collection was no exception. While many designers are leaning towards textured tops and mid-length skirts, Betsey chose sheers and loosely flowing bottoms, which were a pleasant divergence from her typical bubble and tulle skirts.
The sheer was, assumedly, to showcase her newly-blossoming lingerie line, to which she featured in her final walk , having the panty-clad models carrying A and T balloons (which stand for A Tisket, the lingerie line).
Betsey complimented her ultra-feminine style with ultra-high platform stiletto heels (giving a few of the models a run for their money). The collection was filled with Betsey's go-to patterns like floral, cheetah print, and skulls, printed onto full-length skirts, wide leg pants and harem-style rompers. And, of course, Betsey's fabulous line was not the sole entertainment of the night. Surprising audience members, Betsey danced down the runway, skipping up and down as the models took their final walk. At the end of the night, Betsey Johnson entertained.
Spotted Front Row: Nigel Barker, Nicki Minaj and Niki Taylor

Default $GEM_PATH and $GEM_HOME
hi - can rubygems hardcode the right $GEM_PATH into the bin
irb and
gem seem to do this aleady (note:
i mean on ree-1.8.7)
When i run the gem bin script, and haven't got either the $GEM_HOME, or GEM_PATH in my environment.
which github
github bin script is generated by rubygems
during the
gem install... command.
in the bin script it will requre rubygems, then require the gem
what i'd like to see is what irb does:
less $(which irb)
ENV['GEM_HOME']=ENV['GEM_HOME'] || '/opt/rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.01'
ENV['GEM_PATH']=ENV['GEM_PATH'] || '/opt/rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.01'
ENV['PATH']='/opt/rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2010.01/bin:/opt/rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.01/bin:' + ENV['PATH']
so you see they are hardcoded in case there is no environment
and to avoid "cannot find gem" error.
looks like rubygems can check the /etc/gemrc... but that didn't work for me!
a) have some compiled-in option to specify a default GEM_PATH
b) do what
gembin scripts do - check if a) exists and then just add those 3 extra lines to the top of each bin script (improve the bin scripts template).
It looks like you're running rvm. If you don't use rvm everything works just fine. There's no need to set GEM_HOME or GEM_PATH by default.
Eric Hodel closed this discussion on.
dreamcat4 re-opened this discussion on
Well you are right in the sense that we can make a symlink into the ruby installation.
# Like this: ln -sf /opt/rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.01 /opt/rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2010.01/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
Actually I'm pretty miffed why this issue is marked as "Resolved" so quickly. Because its rather 'assuming too much' to expect all future rubies to adhere to this MRI site directory structure. Its brittle and will break easily. As shown with rvm. So I am suggesting we could re-think the following method:
def self.default_dir if defined? RUBY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION then File.join File.dirname(ConfigMap[:sitedir]), 'Gems', ConfigMap[:ruby_version] # 1.9.2dev reverted to 1.8 style path elsif RUBY_VERSION > '1.9' and RUBY_VERSION < '1.9.2' then File.join(ConfigMap[:libdir], ConfigMap[:ruby_install_name], 'gems', ConfigMap[:ruby_version]) else File.join(ConfigMap[:libdir], ruby_engine, 'gems', ConfigMap[:ruby_version]) end end
And provide some clearly exposed API / way to set the default path here. Even if its just something statically defined in a file. I can we get it from
ConfigMap[:sitedir]. Well we maybe could introduce a new variable
ConfigMap[:gemsdir] ||= ConfigMap[:sitedir]
This is the better solution here.
RubyGems pulls the information needed to work from rbconfig.rb for the ruby that is executing whichever gem-installed executable you're using. There is no need to set GEM_HOME or GEM_PATH to any defaults as those are determined directly from rbconfig.rb.
If rvm is breaks when using RubyGems then rvm has a bug, not RubyGems.
If rvm isn't installing gems in the correct place then it needs to set GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH for you, or provide a defaults override as described under the heading "RubyGems Defaults, Packaging" for
ri Gem.

(Your) aEEG coach - Training and support for your NICU team - http://www.aEEGcoach.com
Hi, thank you for reading my brief.
Use your creativity to create my new branding for a new product and company.
My name is Kathi and I have been a nurse for more than 15 years. I specialize in the care of sick babies and their developing, fragile brains.
aEEG is a new technology used to monitor baby brain waves (also known as EEG). I will be providing online education and coaching to doctors and nurses around the world who are beginning to use this product.
"aEEG coach" (Me) is a brand new, online, education and coaching company.
I am passionate about
providing high-quality medical education in a way that is approachable, fun, and easy to understand. And since I'm teaching about a topic (baby brains) that is sometimes boring and often intimidating, I think my qualities are especially unique. So my logo/brand does not need to be the usual sterile medical logo...be bold, be creative.
Hospitals want to use this new technology but need ongoing support and education -- they need a coach....ME... I want them to think it is personal and I am there to support just that person or that team.
As Your aEEG coach, I will be offering three products:
1. Your Online aEEG coach -- A six week online education program offered through webinars
2. Your On-Call aEEG Coach -- Phone and Email support program (where subcribers can email me questions)
3. Your On-site aEEG Coach - In person consulting
(Revised Thursday 3/18)
The target audience includes both doctors and nurses caring for sick newborn infants.
These doctors and nurses are busy professionals who are also innovators and leaders in their field.
These people enjoy new technology as well as care very deeply about the precious babies they attend to each day.
Be creative!!! Use your skills to help me build a new brand. I am looking for a fun design approach, NOT the usual sterile medical industry logo. I will be using this logo/brand design in a header for an online sales page, on stationaires (business cards, flyers, invoices, and eventually as part of a website.
Design elements to consider for inspiration (but not required to be included): newborn baby, a brain (but not like an anatomy text book), squiggly brain waves (EEG), teaching, networking, mentoring, coaching, computers, online, computer-based technology, global
I am looking for a logo that functions well with and without a graphical element.
The full company name is: Your Online aEEG Coach --- but I am okay with only emphasizing just "aEEG Coach" in the logo .... and having "Your Online" be smaller or eliminated
The tag line is:
Training and support for your NICU team
The website is: http://www.aEEGcoach.com - I think I would like this to be included/incorporated
This logo/brand needs to look good both online in color (in a website header) and even in black/white reproduction.
Feel free to experiment with color palettes. Avoid primary or pastel colors (that give off child-like or baby-ish feel) and excessive gradients. Three or four colors max.
Need final output:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
I want prospective customers to sense that I want to support them in a fun spirit yet still respect them as the highly trained professionals that they are.
Thank you!

Along with many other people, and even from a young age, I have always thought it deeply unfair and unjust that people have traditionally said that men age better than women! It has been my belief that this observation has been made with a false perception of what IS attractive. I strongly believe that confdence in your whole appearance is what makes a person attractive, and part of your appearance is the way you move, the way you hold yourself and so on.

Senior Republicans urged congressman Todd Akin on Monday to quit the U.S. Senate race in Missouri over his inflammatory remarks about rape that distracted from the party's nomination next week of Mitt Romney for U.S. president.
Akin was widely criticized for saying in a television interview Sunday that women have biological defenses to prevent pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape," making legal abortion unnecessary.
As pressure built on Akin, Republicans cut off cash for his campaign which had looked like a relatively easy victory against Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill.
In a rare appearance in the White House briefing room, President Barack Obama called Akin's remarks offensive, compounding the Republicans' discomfort.
The furor pushed the campaign debate squarely onto social issues and away from jobs, which Romney has tried to keep at the center of his bid to win the Nov. 6 presidential election.
Akin's remarks complicated Republican efforts to capture the four Democratic seats they need ensure a majority in the 100-member Senate.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn, chairman of the influential committee that raises money for Republican Senate candidates, called Akin's comments "indefensible."
The committee will withhold $5 million in planned spending on TV advertising in Missouri if Akin does not step aside, a committee official said.
"I recognize that this is a difficult time for him, but over the next 24 hours, congressman Akin should carefully consider what is best for him, his family, the Republican Party, and the values that he cares about and has fought for throughout his career in public service," Cornyn said.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, asked whether Akin should drop out of the Senate race, told CNN: "If it was me, I would step aside and let someone else run for that office." Priebus condemned Akin for a "bizarre statement" that is "biologically stupid," and said he would prefer if Akin not attend the Republican National Convention next week.
Democrats used the Akin remarks as evidence that Republicans are waging a "war on women," largely over birth control.
"Rape is rape," Obama said. Akin's comments underscore "why we shouldn't have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women," he said.
Akin, a Tea Party-backed conservative who opposes abortion, caused an uproar when he said in the interview that the need for abortions in the case of rape was "a particularly tough ethical question."
'Legitimate rape'
"It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that is really rare," Akin said of pregnancy caused by rape. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin said.
Romney, who polls show trails Obama with women voters, called Akin's comments "insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly wrong" in an interview with the National Review online.
The controversy took the spotlight away from Republican Party preparations for the coronation of Romney as its nominee at the national convention next week in Tampa.
The firestorm over Akin's remarks erupted as another Republican lawmaker, freshman congressman Kevin Yoder, came under fire for swimming naked in Israel's Sea of Galilee during an August 2011 trip with other members of Congress. Both events featured prominently on the national television news broadcasts.
Akin said Monday he misspoke. He apologized but said he had no plans to drop out of the Senate race.
"The good people of Missouri nominated me and I'm not a quitter. My belief is we're going to take this one forward, and by the grace of God, we're going to win this race," he told The Mike Huckabee Show, a radio program hosted by the former Arkansas governor, a favorite of religious conservatives and an Akin supporter.
American Crossroads, a pro-Republican outside funding group linked to strategist Karl Rove, said it was pulling its advertising from the Missouri race. The group said it has already spent $5.4 million in Missouri.
Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the U.S. Senate, also said Akin should consider leaving the race.
Akin has until Tuesday evening to withdraw without a court order, or until Sept. 25 if he produces a court order to take his name off the ballot.
If he did step aside, the Missouri Republican committee would nominate a new candidate to run for the Senate. That candidate would not have to be one of his two primary opponents.
Besides distancing itself from Akin, Romney's campaign said a Romney administration would not oppose abortion in case of rape. That would be a departure from the position of his vice presidential pick, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan, who has proposed legislation that would outlaw abortion with no exception for rape.
Ryan co-sponsored a bill with Akin in the House of Representatives that would have changed the legal definition of rape to "forcible rape" to narrow access to federal funding for abortions. Critics said the measure could exempt victims of statutory rape.
McCaskill is one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats in a state that has shifted to the right since she was elected in 2006. Recent polls had shown Akin with a 10-point lead over her.
Akin, a six-term congressman from the St. Louis suburbs, won the Republican nomination to oppose McCaskill just two weeks ago after a hard-fought three-way primary race.

Thomas Jefferson's stirring words, written in 1776 in our Declaration of Independence, defined the promise of America--freedom and equality for all. The words rang hollow, however, for the millions of African Americans held in slavery prior to the Civil War, and later denied political, economic, educational, and social equality by unjust laws and social customs. This National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary tells the powerful story of how and where the centuries-long struggle of African Americans to achieve the bright promise of America culminated in the mid-20th century in a heroic campaign we call the modern civil rights movement. Many of the places where these seminal events occurred, the churches, schools, homes, and neighborhoods, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and are included in this itinerary.
Throughout history, African Americans resisted their slavery and later
second-class citizenship. Opposition took many forms, from the passive
resistance of slaves who performed poor work for their masters, to slave
revolts, to slaves escaping to freedom on the Underground
Railroad, to African Americans' participation in the Abolitionist
movement and their joining the Union army during the Civil War. During
this trying period African Americans preserved their heritage and social
Following the Civil War this country moved to extend equality to African
Americans with the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution
(1865) which outlawed slavery, the 14th Amendment (1868) which made
citizens of all persons born in this country and afforded equal protection
of the laws to all citizens, and the 15th Amendment (1870) which provided
the right to vote to all citizens, regardless of race (In 1920, the
19th Amendment was ratified giving women the right to vote). This promising
start soon faltered during the tensions of Reconstruction (1865-1877)
when federal armies occupied the South and enforced order.
Exhausted by the efforts and divisions of the Civil War and Reconstruction and the longing for the country to reunite, the white advocates of equality were overcome by the forces of reaction, and the fate of African Americans was turned over to the individual states. Many states adopted restrictive laws which enforced segregation of the races and the second-class status of African Americans. The courts, the police, and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan all enforced these discriminatory practices.
African Americans responded in a variety of ways. Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), the early 20th century's leading advocate of black education, stressed industrial schooling for African Americans and gradual social adjustment rather than political and civil rights. The charismatic reformer Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) called for racial separatism and a "Back-to-Africa" colonization program. But it was a different path, one that emphasized that African Americans were in this country to stay and would fight for their freedom and political equality, that led to the modern civil rights movement and is the focus of this National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary.
In visiting the 49 places listed in the National Register for their
association with the modern civil rights movement, as well as the Selma-to-Montgomery
March route--a Department of Transportation designated "All-American
Road" and a National Park Service designated National
Historic Trail--two things will be apparent. First, although they
had white supporters and sympathizers, the modern civil rights movement
was designed, led, organized, and manned by African Americans, who placed
themselves and their families on the front lines in the struggle for
freedom. Their heroism was brought home to every American through newspaper,
and later, television reports as their peaceful marches and demonstrations
were violently attacked by law enforcement officers armed with batons,
bullwhips, fire hoses, police dogs, and mass arrests. The second characteristic
of the movement is that it was not monolithic, led by one or two men.
Rather it was a dispersed, grass-roots campaign that attacked segregation
in many different places using many different tactics. On this itinerary
you will learn about the people and places associated with one of the
most important chapters in our history.
The properties included in the itinerary are related to the modern
civil rights movement, that is, with a few exceptions, the events of
the post-World War II period, and especially the 1950s and 1960s. The
focus of the itinerary is the African American freedom struggle, and
does not include the attempts of other minority groups, such as Asians,
Hispanics, or Native Americans, to obtain equality. The list of properties
included in the itinerary does not represent all of the sites important
in the civil rights movement; a number of these places have yet to be
recognized by National Register listing. The 49 properties have been
nominated by the States and listed in the National Register over the
years, and do not represent a systematic effort to survey, identify,
and list all important civil rights sites in the National Register.Visitors
may be interested in Historic
Hotels of America, a program of the National Trust for Historic
Preservation, located near the places featured in this itinerary, including
Tavern Hall of Berea College.
This travel itinerary was prepared as a cooperative project between the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. Both agencies have formally recognized the historic significance of the Selma-to-Montgomery march of 1965. Congress has designated, and the National Park Service administers, the Selma-to-Montgomery National Historic Trail based on the route's national significance in American history. The Federal Highway Administration has designated the march route as an All-American Road.

MIAMI (AP) — Paul George's first Game 7 will be unforgettable — for all the wrong reasons.
The All-Star guard's breakthrough season ended one game short of the NBA Finals — and the manner in which it ended will likely have him wondering what might have been throughout the offseason. He was held to seven points before fouling out early in the fourth quarter, his night epitomizing the struggle that spelled the end of the Indiana Pacers' season.
LeBron James scored 32 points and grabbed eight rebounds, ailing Dwyane Wade matched his postseason high with 21 points, and the Miami Heat ran away from the Pacers 99-76 in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night.
In the NBA Finals for the third straight year, the Heat will play the San Antonio Spurs in a series that starts Thursday in South Florida.
"Everybody in this country knows who the Indiana Pacers are now," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "And we represent all the right things: class, character, hard work, old-school basketball, playing the game the right way. We represented our franchise, our city and our state extremely, extremely well, and we have a lot to be proud of."
Roy Hibbert scored 18 points for the Pacers, who got 14 from David West, 13 from George Hill and 10 from Lance Stephenson. George was held to a miserable 2-for-9 shooting night, and was the last Indiana player on the floor as Miami prepped for its postgame celebration. He shook any hand he could find before being walked toward the visiting locker room by Vogel, who slung an arm over his star's shoulder.
George's time will likely come — someday.
Not yet, though. Not with this Miami team built for titles. It's the fourth trip to the finals for the Heat, who won the title in 2006 and have now been there all three years of the "Big Three" era, falling to Dallas in 2011 and then topping Oklahoma City in five games last year.
"The great thing is we're a young team and we are past the building stage," George said. "This is really our first year tasting success. The rate we are going, we see championships soon."
They're getting closer. A second-round loss to Miami in six games last year was followed by a seven-game, conference-finals exit this time around.
Still, they'll be watching the title round.
"The future is bright," Hibbert said.
It might have even gotten brighter in the din of Monday's defeat, when West flatly said that he wants to return to the Pacers, though he's free to go elsewhere now.
"I can't see myself going anywhere else," West said. "We're the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, one of the top four teams in the league in my estimation, based on this year."
For the Heat, their season, their legacy, their reign atop the NBA was all at stake, so they responded in a manner befitting defending champions — with a blowout.
"They're just an amazing group of guys," Heat managing general partner Micky Arison said after handing the East championship trophy to Chris Andersen. "They've given us an incredible season so far, but it's a long way from over."
It could have ended on Monday, of course. The Heat had alternated wins and losses with the Pacers in the first six games of the series, and were coming off their worst offensive outing of the year in Game 6.
They responded with a rout, despite shooting just under 40 percent, well below their norm.
"By any means necessary … we took care of business," James said.
Miami led by as many as 28 points, a shocking amount for a series that had an aggregate score of Heat 569, Pacers 564 entering Monday night. The Heat actually trailed by six in the early going, were still down 21-19 after the first quarter and it was starting to look like one of those down-to-the-wire nights.
Not even close.
James exited with 5:08 left, shaking retired soccer star David Beckham's hand as he made his way to the Heat bench for a relatively subdued celebration. Not long afterward, security personnel started what's become a familiar task in Miami — surrounding the court and stretching out a yellow rope, preparing to hold people at bay for the looming on-court trophy presentation.
"You never want to take anything for granted," Wade said. "Being here three straight years in a row, going back to the finals, is an amazing feat. I'm just glad we were able to do it. Everything that happened in the first six games didn't mean anything to us. It was about tonight. It was about Game 7. It was about finding a way to win here at home."
More than a few people didn't stick around to see the East title formally presented. After all, it's an all-or-nothing season for the Heat — and this trophy isn't the one that will satisfy them.
Ray Allen added 10 points for Miami, which earned its 78th victory of the season, matching the 11th-best, single-season total in NBA history.
James delivered an inspirational address of sorts to his team Monday morning, publicly revealing no details of what he said afterward other than insisting that the Heat would be ready.
He was right. After 5 minutes, it was 12-6 Indiana. After that, the rest of the half was pretty much all Miami.
Once the Pacers cooled off a bit, the Heat immediately went into pull-away mode. Over the final 19 minutes of the half, Miami's edge was 46-25. Over the final 11 minutes, it was 33-14, as James and Allen outscored the Pacers by themselves.
By halftime, it was 52-37, with James scoring 18 points, Chris Bosh and Wade combining for 17 and Allen adding 10 more. And what had to be most troubling to the Pacers at halftime was their 15 turnovers, a number Vogel said earlier Monday would spell trouble if his team committed that many in the entire game.
"They're disappointed," Vogel said. "They felt like we could have won this series. So I think, disappointed but encouraged about the future."
In the third, the run the Pacers so desperately needed never arrived. Indiana was still within 13 with 3:37 left in the period when Hibbert picked up his fourth foul. Ordinarily, that would mean someone goes to the bench, though Game 7 on the road for a trip to the finals hardly could be classified as an ordinary occasion.
So Vogel — who was second-guessed for not having Hibbert on the floor for the final moments in overtime of Game 1, when James got to the rim easily for a game-winning layup — left his center out there with four fouls.
Barely a minute later, it backfired. Hibbert picked up his fifth late in the third, and George got to five fouls by getting whistled twice in the final 46.1 seconds of the quarter.
By then, the outcome was obvious.
It was Miami's night.
"We had one heck of a run," Hibbert said.
NOTES: Miami's Norris Cole and Indiana's Jeff Pendergraph were ejected with 2:17 left after exchanging some heated words. … Andersen's streak of 18 straight field goals made (he had been 15 for 15 in the series) was snapped in the first half. … Beckham, who is deciding whether he wants to bring a Major League Soccer team to Miami, was seated next to the Heat bench for the second straight game. Justin Bieber and Flo Rida were also in the crowd, as was reigning American League MVP Miguel Cabrera. … The Pacers fell to 2-4 all-time in Game 7s, including 0-4 in road editions of winner-take-all games to decide the Eastern Conference title. … Hibbert did not elaborate Monday about his comments that drew a $75,000 fine after Game 6, saying he wanted to focus on basketball instead.
