![]() We did some rounds of hiring during Design Reactor for folks we didn’t already know but, in the end, it was all Cal grads including Boon Khoo, Michelle Lee, and Emily Lew. Or friends of employees like Susan Nakasora. Mark Moran was originally from Washington and was practicing wushu in the Bay Area. Brandon Sugiyama came and joined us from the University of Oregon Wushu Team. Later on, as our Disney work expanded, the company became better established, and we had exhausted our first-line of friends who consisted largely of former dormmates, and fellow nerdy members of the Cal Wushu Team, we then extended further in to friends of friends and a second set of team members, but not too departed from our original networking. Our initial hiring strategy was basically to ask all of our talented friends at Cal who signed up for more traditional jobs to spend their off-hours doing contract web development and design work for us, folks like Senh Duong, John Joh, Eric Yeh, Walter Wu, Rae Chang, Susan Nakasora, Steven Kam, Derek Sakamoto, Suzanne Wood, Cynthia Sing, and others. Prior to Rotten Tomatoes, Patrick and I had started Design Reactor in 1997, signing the lease for our first office in Berkeley (right above The Luggage Center on Shattuck Avenue) the day after my graduation ceremony. Main amongst these would be the Annual Rotten Tomatoes Halloween Party. However, a lot of my fond nostalgia from Rotten Tomatoes was the sense of closeness we had as a team and many of my memories are those spent with team mates when doing stuff outside of work. ![]() Certainly I have a lot of those stories, some of which I’ve already written about. Most entrepreneur stories generally talk about the various steps of building a team, gaining customers, courting investors, blah blah blah.

![]() ![]() Recognizing that, and with (most of) the offseason officially behind us, we thought it would be fun to sit back and take a look at the biggest what-if scenarios for all 30 NBA teams over the past five years, dating back to the 2018 offseason. (Think "The Decision", when LeBron James famously announced on live TV he was taking his talents to the Miami Heat.) That is particularly true when it comes to the NBA, a league chock-full of huge personalities and talents whose movements and moments have shaped its landscape. NBA, Portland Trail Blazers, Miami Heat, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans, Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptorsįew things inspire more debate than thinking back on what could have been. ![]() Our community guidelines apply which should remind everyone to be cool, avoid personal attacks, not to troll and to watch the language.You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browserĮastern Conference: NBA's biggest what-ifs of the past five years This is the Spurs community, your Spurs community. Join in the conversation, start your own discussion, and share your thoughts. It made for great TV and a fantastic finish to an already strange season. It was truly a battle and worthy of two of the strongest players in the league. Very close and quite a knockdown, drag out match up of team leaders. LeBron ended with a better stat line than Butler.Ĭompare James at 29.8 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 8.5 APG to Jimmy Buckets at 26.1 PPG, 8.5 RPG and 9.7 APG. That said, his stats show that the correct MVP was chosen. There have been those series where he rests very little and takes the entire game on by himself. LeBron James had such a supporting cast in this series, he actually got time to rest during the games. A similar discussion took place between Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy back in 2015. James faced the All-Star trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green with support from Andre Iguodala, Shawn Livingston, Harrison Barnes, David Lee, Marreese Speights, Andrew Bogut, and Leandro Barbosa.Īfter Game 3 and Butler’s 40-11-13 triple-double, it appeared as if he might be outplaying the entire Los Angeles Lakers and would similarly to 2015 James be making an argument for himself as the Finals MVP, win or lose. As you may recall, there was no Kevin Love by the time the Finals started, and before the end of Game 1 there was no Kyrie Irving. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are already making arguments as far as performances by a duo in the Finals, but add to that the muscle of Dwight Howard, the precision of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the passing ability of Rajon Rondo, and support from Markieff Morris, Alex Caruso, and the experience of Danny Green and JaVale McGee and one can see why very few gave the Miami Heat any chance. The Heat suffered injuries to two key players ( Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo) while playing against a talent-loaded Los Angeles Lakers. ![]() Jimmy Butler’s performance in the 2020 Finals was reminiscent of LeBron James five years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps the most telling item is the suggested $300 electric snow-cone maker and ice-shaver machine, which says: “I want to give my future world leader a charming skill, like making icy desserts.” But the ice still suggests emotional distance and an inability to love. There’s an entire “Gifts for the Littles” section that reveals a preoccupation with not just propagation, but ensuring that Goop spawn will flourish creatively, morally, and intellectually. “How can I ensure my spawn will flourish in this world?” And coming as a surprise to ITV daytime host. And if they must, there are only a few acceptable ways: a Stanley growler, $64, for example, or the beautiful Aquaovo Ruby water filter, $1,100. This $155 charcoal water purifier signals a fear of having to drink from the toilet one day. Lorraine Kelly has begged Gwyneth Paltrow to ‘stop’ selling sex toys for dads, after the Goop founder released her Father’s Day Gift Guide. Here are all the gifts that are loved by every character: Fire Lily Snow Smoothie Berry Wine Aromatic Wine Themself Portrait Demon World’s Clear Water Birthday Cake. Gwyneth Paltrow wants Goop readers to know that she gets it she is aware of how ridiculous her gift guide selections can be, but thats what makes them awesome. Somewhere, deep in the reptile brain of the Goopy, they are thinking, I must have a way to stay hydrated and keep my grass green.

Rather than wonder who might buy us that $1,995 wood-fire pizza oven (anyone?), let’s use this as a chance to understand the hidden corners of the Goopy mind. Gwyneth Paltrow’s beloved and often criticized brand, Goop, has launched its holiday gift guide and it includes 43,000 earrings and a BDSM kit. Yesterday, Gwynnie donned her Father Goopmas hat and released the 2015 guide. And if that’s true, then the Gwyneth Paltrow–curated Goop Gift Guide is probably the best glimpse into the complex psyche of a small and fascinating class of people - those who could and would realistically purchase a $330 membership to a peony-of-the-month club. Gwyneth Paltrow's 2020 Goop gift guide includes 1,995 Ouija board, 210 lamp made of bread If you are on a budget, the guide's 'Under-100' section is for you.

Increasing the amount of the Natural Desserts product to 1.5 times the traditional gelatin amount helped. We began with a one-to-one swap for gelatin.įor the panna cotta, we boiled the vegetarian substitute in milk (rather than letting it hydrate cold and then gently heating), and it did eventually set-though a bit more loosely than the sample made with traditional gelatin. Any dessert containing lemon was out, but we chose two recipes that-with tweaks-we thought could accommodate this vegetarian substitute’s particularities: panna cotta and a strawberry gelatin mold. There were two critical pieces of information the instructions didn’t give us, however: what recipes the Natural Desserts product might work best in and how much we should use. We found one vegetarian substitute-Natural Desserts Unflavored Jel Dessert-at a natural foods store.īecause the vegetable gum in this product is made up of polysaccharides versus the protein in gelatin, we weren’t surprised when we found that it required different treatment than gelatin: The vegetarian substitute must be boiled to become activated, it must be added to the other ingredients immediately afterward, and it doesn’t work in highly acidic environments. Our goal is your satisfaction and well-being.While traditional gelatin is derived from animal collagen, unflavored vegetarian gelatin substitutes mainly come from vegetable gums and seaweed extracts. ![]() Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns, questions or suggestions.

Later on i saw what appeared to be a stray Maltese and this time my friend (she is petite and small and my dobie has a pull) was holding his leash when all of a sudden he sprints after the Maltese and he begins a 2 block chase!! :confused2: I catch up to my dobie and see that he is just smelling butts and so on!

I would not want him getting put down for something that could have been avoided.So then my friend suggested a dog muzzle?

The Human Energy Field as a collection of electro - magnetic energies of varying densities that permeate through and emit or exit from the physical body of a living person. To be released on CD and vinyl by Onism Productions on May 7th, Zwart Vierkant is an unforgettable collection of music, possessed of a truly enthralling magic.The aura is the electromagnetic field that surrounds the human body (Human Energy Field-HEF) and every organism and object in the Universe. However, with Zwart Vierkant they have created a piece of art which will astound even those who have previously followed them on that epic voyage. Grey Aura have never dealt in simple concepts their debut album Waerachtighe Beschryvinghe Van Drie Seylagien, Ter Werelt Noyt Soo Vreemt Ghehoort, which was released by Blood Music in 2016, told the tale of Willem Barentsz’ third and final journey to find a north-eastern passage to Asia in 1596. It is an album like no other from a band that reach further, look deeper and explore beyond the limits of imagination. Each song on Zwart Vierkant is imbued with the sensuality of the tale, rife with its mysteries and laden with its ambiguities and suggestive power. It follows his journey through Europe, his metamorphosis of soul and spirit, his dreams, awakenings, loves and temptations as he reaches out to the ungovernable maelstrom of the void. The album is bound tightly to a novel written by Grey Aura’s Ruben Wijlacker which tells the story of an early 20th century painter who becomes obsessed with the Russian art movement, Suprematism, which idealises the abstract and rejects traditional artistic concepts. The collision of raging fury and romance within songs like ‘Sierlijke Schaduwmond’ is bewitching, the sweet, smoky jazz of ‘Parijs Is Een Portal’ is, as suggested, a doorway to another time, another world, another reality. Their second album, Zwart Vierkant, is breathtaking in its breadth and independence, dazzling in its ambition and utterly enthralling and all consuming in its complexity of vision. Hailing from Utrecht in The Netherlands, Grey Aura create a liquid form of atmospheric black metal which shifts between forms like quicksilver, flowing over the boundaries of genres, slipping between cracks in the restrictive walls that surround them. Packaged in poly-lined black inner sleeve and plastic overbag.
