Q: Groovy enum protect properties In java I will normally setup an enum as follows
public enum MealType {

  BREAKFAST("Breakfast"),
  LUNCH("Lunch"),
  DINNER_OPEN("Dinner Cafeteria Open"),
  DINNER_CLOSED("Dinner Cafeteria Closed");

  private String label;

  private MealType(String label) {
    this.label = label;
  }

  public String getLabel() {
    return label;
  }
}

This works out nice because now my enum has a nice human readable label and that label is unchangeable under normal circumstances. For example I cannot do: MealType.BREAKFAST.label = "fred"
However when I try to do the same thing in Groovy, the getters and setters are automatically generated. Now I have undesired methods created.  MealType.BREAKFAST.label = "fred" would result in the enum label being changed.

A: Declare the label as final to prevent a setter being generated:
enum MealType {
  BREAKFAST("Breakfast"),
  LUNCH("Lunch"),
  DINNER_OPEN("Dinner Cafeteria Open"),
  DINNER_CLOSED("Dinner Cafeteria Closed");

  final String label;

  MealType(String label) {
    this.label = label;
  }
}

Q: commandButton doesn't set correctly f:param if it got a javascript method in onclick event Between two JSF views xhtmls (both have view scoped backing beans) I would like to pass parameters if the user click a link or a button. If I have an attribute onclick with a JavaScript function to open another page (in this page I would like to use the parameters set in the first page) to the commandButton or commandLink I get the f:param attributes to be \'currentAccess\':\'3\',\'gridNo\':\'5\', and if I don't have an onclick attribute I have it right 'currentAccess':'3','gridNo':'5',
If I have:
<h:commandButton action="#{statisticsBean.showAccessIncorectAnswers()}" target="_blank"
    value="#{strings.whatHaveDoDoneWrong}" rendered="#{o.date != '-' and o.answerNoWrong != 0}">
    <f:param name="currentAccess" value="#{o.currentAccess}"/>
    <f:param name="gridNo" value="#{o.noGrid}"/>
    <f:param name="gridCategory" value="#{o.category}"/>
</h:commandButton>

the HTML rendering looks like:
<input type="submit" name="j_idt73:0:j_idt74:j_idt77" value="Ce ai gresit" onclick="mojarra.jsfcljs(document.getElementById('j_idt73:0:j_idt74'),{'j_idt73:0:j_idt74:j_idt77':'j_idt73:0:j_idt74:j_idt77','currentAccess':'1','gridNo':'5','gridCategory':'Drept Procesual Civil'},'');return false" />

which is good, I have access to the parameters (f:viewpara or FacesContext , I use the last one likeFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("currentAccess"))
BUT
If I have:
<h:commandButton action="#{statisticsBean.showAccessIncorectAnswers()}" target="_blank"
    onclick="confirmGridStatistics('#{strings.doYouWantToSeeTheWrongAnswersInAccessNo} #{o.currentAccess} #{strings.fromDate} #{o.date}?');"
    value="#{strings.whatHaveDoDoneWrong}" rendered="#{o.date != '-' and o.answerNoWrong != 0}">
        <f:param name="currentAccess" value="#{o.currentAccess}"/>
        <f:param name="gridNo" value="#{o.noGrid}"/>
        <f:param name="gridCategory" value="#{o.category}"/>
</h:commandButton>

WITH a JavaScript function in onclick event I get the rendering:
<input type="submit" name="j_idt73:2:j_idt74:j_idt77" value="Ce ai gresit" onclick="jsf.util.chain(this,event,'confirmGridStatistics(\'Vrei sa vezi raspunsurile gresite in accessul 3 din data de 16-05-2013?\');','mojarra.jsfcljs(document.getElementById(\'j_idt73:2:j_idt74\'),{\'j_idt73:2:j_idt74:j_idt77\':\'j_idt73:2:j_idt74:j_idt77\',\'currentAccess\':\'3\',\'gridNo\':\'5\',\'gridCategory\':\'Drept Procesual Civil\'},\'\')');return false" />

and in the second views backing bean I get null for the parameters from the FacesContext. Why is that?
UPDATE
I thought that
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().put("currentAccess", access); in the action method whould solve it. But it doesn't, it gives me a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
I don't know why this is happening.

A: I have resolved the my issue with a hack. I still don't know why is the issue described with the parameters.
My solution (I know it`s a hack):

*

*the JavaScipt function among other thing opened my second view (to which I wanted to pass the parameters)

*so I have put the parameters (which I want to pass) to the JavaScipt function
<h:commandButton action="#{statisticsBean.showAccessIncorectAnswers()}" target="_blank"
    onclick="confirmGridStatistics('#{strings.doYouWantToSeeTheWrongAnswersInAccessNo} #{o.currentAccess} #{strings.fromDate} #{o.date}?'
    , '#{o.currentAccess}', '#{o.noGrid}', '#{o.category}');"
value="#{strings.whatHaveDoDoneWrong}" rendered="#{o.date != '-' and o.answerNoWrong != 0}"/>

and the second view request URL looks like http://myserver:port/access.xhtml?currentAccess=34&noGrid=3&category=category
and in the second view backing bean I access the parameters with
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
String currentAccess= request.getParameter("currentAccess");

STILL
If anybody knows why is the initial issue that I would appreciate it to share.
Thank you.

From stomach pain to brain fog, joint stiffness to chronic sinus infections, the food we eat can be the culprit. Diagnostic testing has come a long way from the days of skin prick testing. We have advance blood test that uncover which foods you produce key antibodies towards, that are the reason people have reactions to foods up to 3 days after eating them.
Antibodies to foods called IgE are the typical allergy and anaphylactic reaction. But other antibodies called IgG, IgG4, and IgA are what give us food sensitivities. Once discovered, we can begin to remove these foods and heal the damage caused in the digestive system.
Other testing can aid in the diagnosis of more serious illnesses such as dysbiosis, candida, SIBO, IBS and IBD (ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease). The digestive system is such a crucial part of our health, that when it becomes sick or unbalanced, many other health conditions appear.
Some examples of conditions caused by an unhealthy digestive system are: rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, psoriasis, depression, anxiety, obesity, heart disease, parkinson's, alzheimer's, diabetes, hypertension, allergies, chronic infection, and even some cancers! Getting to the root cause is an essential first step in helping people feel their best.


"Weight had been an issue for me for about 15 years. I did a lot of swimming when I was younger but when I gave it up the weight piled on.
I have tried lots of diets. I always lost weight but I would get towards my goal and then start eating and drinking and going out again and the weight would pile back on and this weight loss battle has been going on for years.
DietAssist was different. It motivated me more, the programme made me see my goal more clearly and I wanted to get there and lose a stone.
The way I looked at food changed. I didn't snack so much, didn't feel hungry, I knew if I ate the wrong things, I'd go down the wrong road and I didn't want that.
I am eating less now and not craving sugary food anymore.
Work was often a problem as there were always treats in the office. Before I would have said, 'I'll eat that doughnut and start again tomorrow' but now I find it easy to say no. Its not hard at all. I've even increased my exercise regime, my motivation has gone up since starting DietAssist.
I would recommend DietAssist to anyone, because it is online, it is really easy to use, it fits into everyday life.

When life dwindles to its irrevocable conclusion, recollections are illuminated, even unto the grave. Such is the narrative of Paradise Field: A Novel in Stories, whose title is taken from a remote airfield in the American Southwest, and while the father recalls his flying days, his daughter—who nurses the old man—reflects as well.
Pamela Ryder's stories vary in style and perspective, and time lines overlap as death advances and retreats. This unique and shifting narrative explores the complexities of a relationship in which the father—who has been a high-flying outsider—descends into frailty and becomes dependent upon the daughter he has never really known.
The opening story, "Interment for Yard and Garden," begins as a simple handbook for Jewish burial and bereavement, although the narrator cannot help but reveal herself and her motives. From there, the telling begins anew and unfolds chronologically, returning to the adult daughter's childhood: a family vacation in France, the grotesqueries of the dinner table, the shadowy sightings of a father who has flown away.
A final journey takes father and daughter back to the Southwest in search of Paradise Field. Their travels through that desolate landscape foreshadow the father's ultimate decline, as portrayed in the concluding stories that tell of the uneasy transformation in the bond between them and in the transcendence of his demise. Taken together, the stories in Paradise Field are an eloquent but unsparing depiction of infirmity and death, as well as solace and provocation for anyone who has been left to stand graveside and confront eternity.
Pamela Ryder is the author of Correction of Drift: A Novel in Stories and the short story collection A Tendency Be Gone. Ryder lives in New York City.

Unappearing Poems
I'm itching to read Stuart Kelly's The Book of Lost Books: An Incomplete History of All the Great Books You'll Never Read, stories of famously lost manuscripts, burned or misplaced drafts, abandoned subjects, suppressed works, and uncompleted novels.
Kelly's book is an inventory of the greatest works of literature ever written which neither he, nor anyone else, will ever possess. "The entire history of literature was also the history of the loss of literature." From the 'Arthurian epics contemplated by both Dryden and Milton but never written,' 'Laurence Sterne's never completed "Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy,"' as well as the novel Sylvia Plath was working on before her suicide.
My own list of great works of lost literature would include Henry Reed's phantom collection, The Auction Sale and Other Poems.
As late as 1977, Reed was still contemplating publishing a follow-up to his first collection of poetry, A Map of Verona. Indeed, his entry in Who's Who (.pdf) from that year lists The Auction Sale and Other Poems among his published works. The title poem is arguably Reed's strongest post-War verse. But the book failed to materialize in print. As Jon Stallworthy states in his introduction to the posthumous Collected Poems, 'As a perfectionist, [Reed] could not bring himself to release what he must have recognized would be his last book until it was as good as he could make it, and it never was.'
The Collected Poems includes many of the drafts and fragments which would have gone into Reed's second collection, so in a way, nothing has been lost. But I dream of parallel, mirror universe, in which there is a copy of The Auction Sale on my bookshelf, with a version of Reed's "Northwest" poem in the imaginary table of contents.
The New York Times calls Stuart Kelly's Book of Lost Books 'clever and highly entertaining.' Here's Chapter 1, for perusal.

Notation for "Unappearing Poems":


Who and what are we? Where did we come from, and where are we going? What is the meaning of life? --There seem to be more questions than answers, but, if you want to know who you are, try writing down a list of questions on one side of a ledger and your best answers opposite them on the other side. How you write your list, and what you put in it, will reveal a lot about who you are. If you want to try this exercise, and you are serious about it, please stop reading now, and start writing your list of questions and answers before you read any farther. After you have gone as far as you can go with your list, then come back and read the rest of this post.
Caution: If you peek ahead before writing your list, you will jeopardize the integrity of the exercise because that will contaminate the question of who you are, with who you want to be.
What does your list and how you write it, say about you? I think, regarding questions and answers, most people fall into one of two categories: thinkers or doers. If you write every question you can think of before you write any answers, and the list is still incomplete, you are a thinker. If you write only the questions that you think are important, and write at least some answers as you go, you are a doer.
The difference between thinkers and doers is profound: It's the difference between a theorist and a pragmatist, a philosopher and an engineer, an idealist and a realist, an optimist and a pessimist, a Plato and an Archimedes. If you are a Big-Bang Theory fan (the TV series, not the scientific theory), Sheldon is the thinker and Penny is the doer. Caution: you should refrain from judging one of these modes of questioning and answering as good or bad, because the world needs both. For example, architects are thinkers, while carpenters, plumbers and electricians are doers, planners are thinkers, and those who implement the plans are doers.
Of course, as with any psychological categorization, almost no one is one hundred percent thinker or one hundred percent doer, most of us are a mixture of both, and then there are a few who are neither. They are called politicians.
So, do you want to see my list? --I thought you'd never ask!
Q: Are there questions that have no answer? A: Probably. And this may be one of them.
Q: Are there answers for which there are no questions? A: Yes, and here are two of them: your consciousness, and the universe.
Q: Can there ever be a theory of everything? A: No. Because a theory of everything must have everything in it, otherwise it is not a theory of everything, and if a theory has everything in it, it is identical with reality, and is therefore not a theory.

Hello I have my late cousins 2008 Outback with about 112,000 miles. It needs the heads done!
They were replaced about 24,000 miles ago, but found out the shop used the same bolts and or did not torque them right, so I am wondering if anyone knows a place to get this done cheaper than the normal 2500-3500 range. I already have the parts.
Hey Ben! Check with JM Automotive for pricing. I'm not sure if they are cheaper than that or not, but they do awesome work!
minnesotanice and silver03 like this.
You will find most people around here will use JMA, and for good reason. Jesse and his crew are very knowledgeable and walk you through the work. Very customer friendly and have the reputation to back up their work!
06LGT, silver03 and tangledupinblu like this.
I got a quote from JMA before and Jesse quoted me around $3000 for a 2002 Subaru WRX, so I don't think JMA will do the price range you're asking for below $2500 - $3500 range. Jesse also said to me they'll charge more if you're using your own parts.

More of The Bradens at Weston:
A Love So Sweet
Our Sweet Destiny
Unraveling The Truth About Love
The Art of Loving Lacy (on pre-order for May 8th)
I didn't realize that this is book 3 of a series that doesn't take away or deter from the storyline. It did take me a few to understand the characters and aspects of the characters back story, I was still able to figure out the couples and the various relationships from small town Weston and the Braden family. I do recommend reading the previous books to understand the characters back stories further. If you are a person who doesn't like a lot of sex or cussing–this book is for you. Zero cussing. Very few sex scenes that are not overtly explicit.
Cole's writing is filled with emotion and descriptive language that adds to the emotion of the characters. She also hits the viciousness of New York fashion spot on.
Riley Banks has lusted after Josh Braden since she was old enough to have childhood crushes. She watched him from afar with her best friend Jade who did the same thing for Josh's older brother Rex. Spending a few hours with Josh at a concert and with his family, just reminded Riley how much and why she lusted after the man to begin with, he's kind, generous, and sweet. After looking at Riley's design portfolio, he hired her for his fashion design company as an assistant on the design floor. The more time she spends with him the more she falls for him even after moving to New York. The more involved they become the more Riley has to lose. Her career. Her fashion. Her pride. Her relationship with Josh can all go up in a blaze.
Josh can't remember a time where he didn't crush on Riley Banks due to the feud between his family and Jade's family prevented him from approaching her. He makes excuses to spend time with Riley. Claudia continues to come on to him, more so since Riley started. Once Josh had a taste of Riley, he knew the sweet girl from Weston would be better than his dreams. His dreams are changing thanks to Riley but an office mishap creates a multitude of issues for Josh and Riley.

In Unraveling the Truth About Love…
Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break–working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and–just maybe–explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.
Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.
When Josh and Riley's friendship heats up, every steamy kiss, and every passionate caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley's mentor accuses her of stealing the design.
Facing indisputable proof and the mistrust of her lover, Riley is not sure she can take the heat of life in the fast lane of the fashion industry–and Josh is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the career he adores.

Java StringBuffer class is used to create mutable (modifiable) string. The StringBuffer class in java is same as String class except it is mutable i.e. it can be changed.
public synchronized StringBuffer append(String s) is used to append the specified string with this string. The append() method is overloaded like append(char), append(boolean), append(int), append(float), append(double) etc.
public synchronized StringBuffer insert(int offset, String s) is used to insert the specified string with this string at the specified position. The insert() method is overloaded like insert(int, char), insert(int, boolean), insert(int, int), insert(int, float), insert(int, double) etc.
public synchronized StringBuffer replace(int startIndex, int endIndex, String str) is used to replace the string from specified startIndex and endIndex.
public synchronized StringBuffer delete(int startIndex, int endIndex) is used to delete the string from specified startIndex and endIndex.
public synchronized StringBuffer reverse() is used to reverse the string.
public int capacity() is used to return the current capacity.
public void ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity) is used to ensure the capacity at least equal to the given minimum.
public char charAt(int index) is used to return the character at the specified position.
public int length() is used to return the length of the string i.e. total number of characters.
public String substring(int beginIndex) is used to return the substring from the specified beginIndex.
public String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) is used to return the substring from the specified beginIndex and endIndex.
A string that can be modified or changed is known as mutable string. StringBuffer and StringBuilder classes are used for creating mutable string.
The append() method concatenates the given argument with this string.
The insert() method inserts the given string with this string at the given position.
The replace() method replaces the given string from the specified beginIndex and endIndex.
The delete() method of StringBuffer class deletes the string from the specified beginIndex to endIndex.
The reverse() method of StringBuilder class reverses the current string.
The capacity() method of StringBuffer class returns the current capacity of the buffer. The default capacity of the buffer is 16. If the number of character increases from its current capacity, it increases the capacity by (oldcapacity*2)+2. For example if your current capacity is 16, it will be (16*2)+2=34.
The ensureCapacity() method of StringBuffer class ensures that the given capacity is the minimum to the current capacity. If it is greater than the current capacity, it increases the capacity by (oldcapacity*2)+2. For example if your current capacity is 16, it will be (16*2)+2=34.


At a first glance the H440 from NZXT is one good looking case. The design is very elegant and apart from that this particular case is available in different color combinations. It's quite clear that while developing this case, NZXT have had a strong focus on the design aspect and they wanted to come up with something beautiful. For us this is certainly already reason enough to have a thorough look at this case.
Today, we will be checking out the latest mid-tower case from NZXT, the clean and elegant H440.

Since the 2011 Stanford Social Innovation Review article introduced the concept, collective impact has been widely adopted as an effective form of cross-sector collaboration to address complex social and environmental challenges.

The environment and health are inextricably linked. Living in an environment you are happy in is proven to improve a person's quality of life and health. Access to green spaces, climate change and environmental health factors such as air quality, contaminated land, public nuisance (noise, pest control,dust etc.) environmental crime and dog control all affect the environments in which people live. All of this affects people's quality of life and overall health and wellbeing.
Natural green spaces can have a positive impact on health by providing venues for physical activities to help to reduce the risk of a range of health conditions associated with an inactive lifestyle. Health activities in green spaces can also help with rehabilitation, for example low level walking activities for people who are recuperating from cardiac problems. Green spaces can also promote improved mental health and wellbeing. Undertaking positive activities in green spaces has been proven to improve wellbeing, for example gardening on allotment sites, volunteering activities and taking part in team building activities.
Healthy environments are essential to the achievement of long-term improvements in the health of the population, in creating and maintaining sustainable communities. Conversely, environmental degradation and global changes in climate, habitat, energy supplies and other key stressors can all have significant health consequences.
Poor air quality is a significant public health issue and can be a result of vehicle emissions, industrial process emissions and bonfires. Air pollution is associated with a myriad of health problems including respiratory diseases such as emphysema and bronchitis, asthma, impaired lung development in children, premature births and low birth weight, lung cancer and heart disease.
It has been estimated that particulate air pollution in the UK is a contributor in nearly 29,000 deaths in 2008 and is associated with 340,000 life years lost.

Bulls strike gold against the Warriors

Bulls fans, you can open your eyes again.
"Win or lose," Joakim Noah was saying in a relaxed Bulls locker room late Friday night after a dominating 113-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors, "that was the best we've played in a long time."
Probably, and shockingly given recent events and a 42-point loss in Sacramento Wednesday, that was one of the better wins of the season considering: The lately offensively challenged Bulls scored their third most points of the season, they held the league's best three-point shooting team without a three until the fourth quarter when the Bulls were leading by 31, and they did this with Kirk Hinrich, Taj Gibson and Richard Hamilton still out along with Derrick Rose and against a team now 37-30 and fighting for a playoff spot.
I'll admit after the debacle in Sacramento and no help on the way I had the explosive Warriors, who are averaging more than 100 per game, winning this one by 20.
"I think we played with the right mindset today," said Noah, whose big time first quarter hustle with 10 of his 16 points ignited the Bulls sleepy offense. "Losing to Sacramento the way we lost to Sacramento the other day was very humbling and it's a reality check. If you don't come ready to play we can get our (butts) kicked. We've been going through a lot of adversity. It was a big win for us tonight and we just got to keep fighting."
And you surely don't want to jump too far with a strong Denver team in the United Center Monday. But again the possibilities are intriguing as the Bulls moved to 36-29 and tied for fifth in the Eastern Conference with Atlanta. But Indiana, which lost at home Friday to the Lakers without Kobe Bryant, is just four games ahead and playing in Chicago a week from Saturday. And the now debilitated Knicks are just three games ahead in third.
Of course, the Miami Heat has lapped the conference like the 90's Bulls used to, and even more dominantly with a 21-game winning streak and 10 ½ game lead over second place Indiana. But someone has to play them in the conference finals, and it's still hard to say even after these gruesome last several weeks for the Bulls that it can't be them, especially the way they took out a good Warriors team.
"I still feel we have a lot of basketball to be played," said Noah, who finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds as all five starters were in double figures. "It's in us to turn it up to another level and get ready for the playoffs."
The Bulls basically are in with a 10 ½ game lead over ninth place Toronto. So these last 17 games are about positioning. And, of course, the return or not of Rose. It remains unclear what Rose will do. But Hinrich said he hopes to play Monday after a setback kept him out of Friday's game and Gibson could be ready next week along with Hamilton.
That would strengthen the bench as there were big time positive signs Friday like:
— Luol Deng shooting his way out of his recent slump with nine of 16 for 23 points;
— Carlos Boozer with as good an all around game as he's had all season with 21 points, nine rebounds, five assists and there steals and a dive on the floor save late in the second quarter that Nate Robinson called "one of the best hustle plays of the season;"
— Robinson recovering from an awful effort against the Kings with 20 points and seven assists, but more importantly dropping a lot of his antics which were starting to trouble the team and coach Tom Thibodeau and deliver his best defensive effort of the season in denying Stephen Curry and holding the Warriors shooting star to two of 13 shooting and eight points.
— Marco Belinelli coming out of his scoreless zero for nine game against the Kings and five for 24 the last two games to add 13 points. He made three three pointers as the Bulls overall made eight of 16 threes and shot over 40 percent for the first time in five games and better than 50 percent for the third time in two months.
Consider that over the last five games before Friday with the Bulls winning just one and on a Belinelli three, the Bulls gave up a combined 49.1 percent shooting, averaged 86.8 points and looked like a team worn out by the season, the injuries and the constant noise regarding Rose.
But the Bulls boldly showed otherwise Friday the way they'd done it most of the season, suggesting even without Rose this is a team that can make some noise of its own.
"Everything," Thibodeau said about the improvement on offense. "Energy, screening, sustaining spacing, moving the ball, making quick decisions, ball movement, player movement, inside out. And I thought the way we started the game was important (20-10 lead about six minutes in). I think the big thing is to understand where intensity comes from, how important it is to compete and the answer is pretty simple: You go out there and defend, you rebound, take care of the ball, play inside out, share it. (If you do) you're going to have a chance. When you get away from that and start holding on to it, start quick shooting, one-on-one, don't get back, it can snowball on you. But the big thing is to compete. We have to show that we're willing to make that commitment."
It's no great secret in the way this Bulls team plays. But even they need an occasional reminder. You outwork your opponent, be more physical, take good shots, help on defense and be unselfish on offense. It's in all the manual. Everyone tries, though this Bulls team under Thibodeau has been one of the best at sustaining it. But they seemed to get off the rails of late, the product perhaps of injuries, Rose's absence, extended play, the long season, changing rotations and combinations. Though they abide by the no excuses thing, many of the issues are reasonable to accept and not that much you can do when perhaps you haven't spoken to Vladimir Radmanovic all season and then when you talk on defense maybe he doesn't recognize the voice.
"We're a team, especially defensively," reminded Noah. "Everybody has to be on the same page. You have to have an unbelievable amount of trust. If one guy isn't in the right spot, it doesn't work. Sometimes we get a little frustrated."
That's been apparent lately with the Spurs shooting 54.1 percent, the Kings 54.2 percent, the Pacers 52.7 percent, the Cavs 49.4 percent, the Heat 50.7 percent, the Nets 52 percent, the Nuggets 58.1 percent. That's not Bulls basketball; not under Thibodeau.
And then came the train wreck in Sacramento where you knew what that light at the end of the tunnel was.
Thibodeau promised to get their attention. But it's not like he was screaming or threatening; well, not a lot, anyway.
So what was that speech like, Tom Rockne?
"Try," Thibodeau said after Friday's game and then paused.
You could cut the silence with a bologna slicer.
That it?
Actually, as Thibodeau went on to say and we pretty much know, this is a group of players who take the game and their participation in it seriously. You don't get many consecutive poor efforts from them, even though there was a legitimate question about how much they could provide given all the players out. Friday's was an intriguing statement.
"The thing is, this team has a lot of pride," Thibodeau said. "So we knew we stunk. Everybody. Players, coaches, we stunk. So we had to correct it. The big thing is putting the work in. The magic is in the work. You put the work in, usually the results are going to be good."
So the Bulls had a vigorous practice Thursday upon arriving in San Francisco; they competed in their shootaround and there were some stares and messages sent. The Bulls don't name names. They're not about to have someone blacklisted, be it at Hop Sings or around the NBA. But this is not the circus. This is a team that leaves when the circus comes to town. Even if they aren't scared of the clowns, they don't really have use for them.
"When you lose by 40 to Sacramento that in itself, you can say whatever you want… is a wakeup call," said Noah. "You can't be clowning around. There's got to be focus. That's our priority."
You won't get anyone to elaborate. But it was obvious in the Kings game what was going on. On one occasion, Robinson made a three and went into his airplane act, swooping low with his arms while Isaiah Thomas just ran by him for a layup while Nate preened. So Nate then decided to talk some to his buddy Thomas and play some one-on-one. The ball stopped moving, guys were cutting and not even being seen. Thibodeau was being forced to dip deep into his bench for players who hadn't been in the rotation for months. It wasn't only that the frustration was mounting about the score. It was the lack of professionalism.
Guys talked. They came out to play. Especially Robinson, who provided a defensive effort the likes of which we've never seen from him. And against Curry, who scored 54 points on the Knicks this season in Madison Square Garden and is eighth in the league in scoring.
"The one thing that stood out, Nate was really into the ball," said Thibodeau in something I've never heard from him all season. "I thought his ball pressure was very good. We've got to do that all the time."
That's where Hinrich is missed the most. Robinson can be a heck of a scorer and is one of the more athletic players on the team, exciting and enthusiastic. But ball pressure on the perimeter is one of the keys to the Bulls locking up the opponent. Without Hinrich the Bulls generally don't have it. On Friday, Robinson showed if he wants to he can, and he probably heard plenty about his game in Sacramento.
"We had a long talk about things that needed to be addressed as a team," Robinson said without elaborating. "Then move forward. Coach said we need to play like that every night. Go on the attack for as long as we can."
Notice, there was none of that Peter Pan nonsense and happy place stuff from Robinson. He was serious; the Bulls were serious.
"I watched what he (Curry) did to the Knicks," Robinson said. "I was hoping he didn't have one of those games. And he didn't. Try to make everything hard, contest every shot. Some point guards hate that. Avery Bradley (of Boston) is one of the best. I had to do that. I tried to make it as hard as possible for Steph to bring up the ball. He's 70 percent of their offense. I wanted to do everything I could to make it as hard as possible to bring the ball up and shoot. I wanted him to be tired. It worked."
Ever hear Robinson talk like that? Me, neither.
Maybe it just takes some guys longer.
But it was a different Bulls team from the start almost everywhere, and you could see how much impact Noah was going to have. He's an unusual leader in he's far from the best scorer. He's more the leader in the Bill Russell mode of defending, making plays for his teammates, leading with desire and his model of play and verbosity.
"Scoring, defense, rebounding, hustling," Thibodeau said about Noah's contribution. "I thought the starters played terrific to start the game, ball pressure, Jo with his hustle got everyone going. Then Carlos got going. Lu was solid throughout. Marco started slowly and got going, a good all around effort."
The matchups also were better for the Bulls as the Warriors aren't getting much yet from Andrew Bogut. So Boozer didn't have to work much while Noah made it tough on David Lee, who finished with a modest 15 points and eight rebounds. Meanwhile, Boozer was proving too strong and active against Lee to start, hitting his jump shots and making power moves to the rim that later would lead to back to back dunks, one on a diving slash that even drew gasps from the home crowd.
"I thought we came out aggressive on both sides tonight," said Boozer. "I think we executed really well and did a great job on the defensive end making their best players take tough shots. The best part of it was that we were able to keep it up for the entire game. It's fun to watch us play like that."
Noah had the Bulls first two baskets going to the rim hard and it continued from there as Noah made jumpers (seven of eight baskets overall in the game) as Bogut couldn't get out. And though the Warriors drew within 28-27 after one quarter the feeling was palpable.
"Got outworked," said Warriors coach Mark Jackson. "We know that basketball team and they beat us in Chicago by outworking us and by being the more physical team. Right off the opening tip: Loose balls, rebounds, screens, moving without the basketball. We were bad and getting away with it. There was a point during a timeout that we were down and we were thrilled to be there. We had no business being there. We just did not play well. We did not meet their intensity and that is the disappointing part of it because the fact of the matter is, we are not going to win ball games if we don't do that."
Jimmy Butler had a huge second quarter as the Warriors tried to go small with their three guard lineup, and Thibodeau jumped on the mismatch, sending Butler into the post against Jarrett Jack. Butler scored and then the Warriors tried to rotate, the Bulls moved the ball for easy shots, getting 28 assists to 16 for Golden State.
Then it was Boozer of all guys diving between Warriors players to come up with a loose ball that led to a Butler fast break score as the Bulls broke from a 44-44 tie late in the second quarter with a 20-2 run into the third.
From there with the Bulls taking a 72-49 lead four minutes into the second half it was about over as Boozer had 11 more in the third quarter including those two dunks late in the third after Robinson and Belinelli broke it open with threes. The Warriors through three could barely get an open look and were zero for 11 on threes as the Bulls led 94-63 going into the fourth quarter.
"First to the floor," Thibodeau said proudly. "That's the thing. Defend, get back, get your man, help when needed, be first to the floor, make multiple efforts, hustle. Doing stuff like that unites and inspires your team. Get a team doing that and you're going to have a good chance."
Maybe you can't do it all the time. But the way the playoffs work, you only have to do it four in seven times. So who knows as it's still in the Bulls.
