Its April, April already! Can you imagine? April 1st was Clio's first birthday, or as its known around here: the day we celebrate our April Fools Baby. But really, he is no fool! He has stolen our hearts just as his brother Emory continues to do every day. We are so so so blessed to have these little puppy boys in our lives. So, of course we had to have a little party for his special day! Balloons, party hats and most of all, a puppy Sprinkles cupcake for the birthday boy. And being that he is a little tyke – soon enough he was passed out taking a nap. It's been a special year, and here's a lifetime of memories to be made with a certain tuxedo'd Pekingese.
And so, we being our spring with birthdays and despite some random cold days, it's lovely to be on the other side of winter. It's time for sunglasses, road trips, New Orleans, bicycles and lots of lots of sunshine.
So, we seemed to have dropped off the face of the planet?!!! RIGHT! No, not really at all. That's all dramatics, or theatrics…well, it is something. But what have we been up to?It'd be easy to give a generic answer about living life and how excited we are about of adventures, blah blah blah…and that would be technically true.
But the truth is that we are doing life and that is always more more intricate and complex. We are getting our heart rates up, riding bikes and jumping jacks. Thanks, mom!
All that being said, we started marriage counseling aka therapy. So, there is that roller coaster of memories and emotions. But this is a good thing right? It is. We are good.
But life is strange, Bo was very gently let down from a job he applied for and really wanted, and we are still looking for the right place and home to call our own. But we take it one challenge at a time, process all the emotions and feelings and do our best. Right? Right.
So, it helps to talk about it – to have family that is involved in your life, to have community! So more of that!
Spring has been desperately trying to be sprung after a long winter, so for my mom's birthday we happily flew with her to Cali, Cali, Cali. To where else? Disneyland! The original. It's been a dream for us to go.
And it's so different from what we are oh so familiar with at Walt Disney World! You might even call it slightly quaint? The scale is different, but it has a charm all it's own. We stayed at the original Disneyland Hotel, which was super nice and had touches of the glamor of classic Disney. Very cool, with a retro vibe – something we can get behind!
We got to do character dining at our hotel at Goofy's Kitchen to kick things off, which was as fun as ever…even if the lighting wasn't so conducive to all the pictures we took with the likes of Aladdin and Jasmine, Chip and Dale, and of course Goofy.
And a sleep later, and we were walking where Walt walked. I think all of us had no idea what to expect – but the coolest thing that stuck out to us was how much Walt's stamp was all over the park. His apartment over the fire station, the bench that inspired the whole idea, and so many cool things. It was a really fun day of rides new and familiar, Jolly Holiday Bakery and many other treats, exploring a new park (to us) and most of all – a search for the elusive Dumbo popcorn container!
And to meet Mickey in his sorcerer's robes to cap a magical day? We knew for sure that it was going be a good birthday for Mom!
Next up? California Adventure and perfect west coast weather!
It seems like we were stuck in our house for a good long year after Clio had his neuter surgery. But luckily my baby brother came to stay with us for a week, along with my childhood puppy-turned-ladybird Bailey. So, it was an overly full house but a blessing to be with a little slice of family. But Clio is a fast healer and so we decided we needed a day out! We hit up the Crow Collection of Asian Art and the DMA in Dallas and generally had a relaxing day. But not to rest on our laurels, we are also planning for a vacation because for the first time in a long time we haven't traveled for a good 8 months. And that will not stand!
Where are you, Christmas? You came and went too soon, and we are a week into the new year. But it was still the most wonderful time of the year. Admittedly, it took both of us some extra time to fully embrace the holiday spirit but all it takes is walking into the family house and having it full of family and dogs and Mom's decorations and treats to make things perfect. We were really blessed to have a week out of town, full of family time and we were spoiled. The boys, Emory and Clio, were spoiled beyond beyond. It was ridiculous. Between certain packages of gifts arriving from wonderful, amazing friends all over to Nancy Elizabeth Brooks – aka Nani-Claus – it was a good time. But the New Year came, and our family made it back here with us just in time to ring in the New Year with food and drink and a hope for the whole of 2014.

This 10x20 room has two exits, at the north and south ends. A long wooden table extends down the middle of the room, with a half-dozen humanoids seated around it, planning out some sort of mission with detailed maps and small figurines representing the participants and their potential adversaries.
The above describes an encounter set to take place shortly here in the halls of Wizards of the Coast, specifically Fridays 12-2 in the Lost Temple meeting room. I'm about to sit behind the DM screen after an edition-long absence and try my hand running the Scales of War Adventure Path.
First, let me disclose—and this should come as little surprise—that I am a satisfied convert to 4th Edition. I find this edition to be the most playable I've experienced, and I began my love affair with D&D back in 1982. Of course, back then I was in the second grade, and playing D&D meant my friends and I sitting around emulating what we could remember of the older kids' actual D&D games, using dice borrowed from the family Monopoly set. It wasn't until the great and glorious Christmas of 1983 when my parents bought me a D&D Basic set that I could actually claim to be playing a legitimate version of the game.
In the years since, I've been the most intrigued by the job of DM. In my mind, being a player meant having access to whatever magic items, spells, and monsters the DM introduced. On the other hand, being a DM essentially meant having access to all of the magic items, spells, and monsters—who wouldn't want all that fun?
That said, here's my confession. Throughout 3rd Edition (including 3.5), I played the game solely in the player's seat. Throughout numerous campaigns, I was content to limit my D&D experience to just my character.
Why? I can boil my thinking down to the following.
First Edition, in many ways, placed the power of the game in the hands of the DM. "Can I do this…?" and "What happens if I…" were essentially questions posited by the players to be answered by the DM. Not quite sure how a rule worked? Wondering what actions your character can perform? In the First (and largely Second) Edition campaigns I played, these were all questions that often needed answers from the DM. That was the relationship. You tell the DM what you want to do, the DM tells you if you can, you roll some dice, and the DM provides the result.
This is not the worst relationship in the world—and it was one I found myself comfortable with. That said, it's a relationship that depends very much on your DM. Someone who ran a fair game could expect a long-lived campaign. A DM who abused his position could expect a campaign whose only players would eventually become the younger brothers he forced to sit at the table (a memory of the worst DM I ever experienced as a player).
Third Edition shifted this relationship, in my opinion, into the players' hands. The DM still ran the game and mediated the story. But as far as the rules went, the players had much greater power in how they built their characters and what they could pull off. Pun-Pun is an example taken to the extreme, but min-maxing characters was commonplace, often limited only by the players themselves. In several campaigns, I witnessed the tension this caused between experienced players looking to build the most powerful character they could, and newer players using the character they were most comfortable with—usually, a simpler, less tricked-out character.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with min-maxed PCs. The players were simply using the tools they were given—exactly what we'd been encouraging them to do. But in a campaign of mixed-experience players, what's a DM to do? Insist that "stronger" characters handicap themselves Harrison Bergeron-style? Find a group of players that were all of the same playing experience? This last option is terrible; we want friends around the table, and we want D&D to be enjoyable for all of them.
These relationships (between the players and DM, and between players themselves) largely kept me away from the DM screen throughout 3rd Edition. To me, 4th Edition strikes a tremendous balance between the players and the DM. In my Adventure Path campaign, some players will have already experienced 4th Edition, some with previous editions, and some are relatively new to the game—and that difference in experience doesn't worry me in the least.
In fact, I'm already looking forward to having the ogre bombardier lob that first cask of burning pitch….

Overall good experience renting with Best in Jaco and staying at Bahia Azul. Short walk on to the beach. Check in required finding a storefront across town but check out was very easy and no issues otherwise.
Beautiful new (or like new at least) condos that are literally on the beach. Can't go wrong. The complex was quiet, and at least while we were there seemed to be more of a Costa Rican family vacation spot than a tourist place, which we enjoyed.
Excellent stay. Quiet and across from the beach. Ten minutes from good surfing beach down south. Can't go wrong with this place
Great experience, I recommend this place! The condo was clean, the bed comfortable, great location, next to the beach. We really felt like home there. If you are looking for the paradise, it's the place for you!
This place was perfect for us. There was 4 of us that stayed in the until and it was our first time to visit Costa Rica. The beach and the pool were literally right out the backdoor. This place was within walking distance from the surf shop, ATV, JetSkiing, and great local food.
Michelle was an amazing host and she took great care of us during the week. If we needed anything, she answer the phone and arranged events and pickups from the airport as well.
I highly recommended this unit and working with Michelle with you are looking to come to Jaco, Costa Rica.
The Bahia Azul condo we stayed at was perfect. It made our stay very comfortable and it felt just like we were in our own home. Having a washer and dryer in the condo unit was an awesome convenience because we stayed for 5days and it kept our clothes clean. The view of the beach from the pool was amazing. The 20 steps walk to the beach right from the pool just trumps it all. I can't imagine another place that could have been more pleasant and comfortable to accommodate us. Michelle was an awesome host and even tipped us on cool local spots. I give my two thumbs up recommendation!!
The condo was just as described, good location right in front of the beach, nice pool. We had a nice time for the 3 days spent in Jaco. Michelle was very helpful-thank you!
I had a great stay here! The condo is modern and just as depicted in the photos. Great balcony overlooking the pool and with the ocean in the distance. The apartment was immaculate and the amenities were great - strong wi-fi, lots of cable channels etc. The beach is right out the front gate, and your a short walk to everything in Jaco. Michelle is just wonderful, easy to communicate with, and very hospitable. I would definitely stay here again.

Louisiana Health Insurance Premium Payment (LaHIPP) is a part of Louisiana Medicaid that may pay some or all of the health insurance premiums for an employee and his/her family if the employee has insurance available through his/her job and someone in the family receives health coverage through Medicaid. The family member(s) getting Medicaid will also be able to have health insurance.
Am I Eligible?
LaHIPP does a review of what the insurance costs and what it covers, then decides if it is more cost effective for Louisiana Medicaid to pay the health insurance premiums for the person who is working and the family member who receives Medicaid. Cost-effective means that it costs less for Louisiana Medicaid to pay for the health insurance premium than it does to pay for the medical expenses of the person who gets Medicaid.
Click here to apply online for the LaHIPP program. You can also download and print the application and mail or fax it to:
721 Government St, Suite 103-300

Gerry Reppucci, ZBA board member, said he couldn't support a Dunkin' Donuts at that location, adding that when development in the area is complete in a few years there will be huge amounts of traffic and people dangerously jockeying for position in the drive-thrus.
Reppucci unflatteringly compared the proposal to several already built Dunkin' Donuts drive-thrus in Nashua, such as the one on West Hollis street, as examples of unsafe traffic flows created by the coffee shops.
Despite saying that he is in favor of people getting the most out of their property, Reppucci said the drive-thrus "look crammed in there."
The proposed dual Dunkin' Donuts, bank building is part of the Gateway Hills, a Flatley Co. project being constructed off Spit Brook Road near the F.E. Everett Turnpike.
Despite the fact that previous Dunkin' Donuts applications, including one approved last month, met city specifications, just as other members said the proposed Spit Brook Road did, Reppucci said the situations created by the drive-thrus are still unsafe and that the requirements themselves may be outdated and in need of fixing.
There was also concern during the meeting that Spit Brook Road, which board members said is already clogged with traffic from cars from the F.E. Turnpike, may get backed up even more due to the presence of a Dunkin' Donuts.
However, the majority of the other board members did not reflect Reppucci's concerns, as they agreed to focus on the variances Flatley, a Braintree, Mass. company, applied for.
Reppucci said that part of his concern stems from his fear that along with local traffic, the location would attract commuter traffic as well, further congesting an already congested area.
Flatley representatives denied this, and said the plan is to cater to local consumers, and added that the proposed entrance would be located almost at the point that Spit Brook Road narrows from two lanes to one and the drive-thrus would not be seen from the road.
In the end, Flatley received approval for all four variances it applied for.

Solar Process Heat
Commercial and industrial buildings may use the same solar technologies—photovoltaics, passive heating, daylighting, and water heating—that are used for residential buildings. These nonresidential buildings can also use solar energy technologies that would be impractical for a home. These technologies include ventilation air preheating, solar process heating, and solar cooling.
Space Heating
Many large buildings need ventilated air to maintain indoor air quality. In cold climates, heating this air can use large amounts of energy. But a solar ventilation system can preheat the air, saving both energy and money. This type of system typically uses a transpired collector, which consists of a thin, black metal panel mounted on a south-facing wall to absorb the sun's heat. Air passes through the many small holes in the panel. A space behind the perforated wall allows the air streams from the holes to mix together. The heated air is then sucked out from the top of the space into the ventilation system.
Water Heating
Solar water-heating systems are designed to provide large quantities of hot water for nonresidential buildings. A typical system includes solar collectors that work along with a pump, heat exchanger, and/or one or more large storage tanks. The two main types of solar collectors used for nonresidential buildings—an evacuated-tube collector and a linear concentrator—can operate at high temperatures with high efficiency. An evacuated-tube collector is a set of many double-walled, glass tubes and reflectors to heat the fluid inside the tubes. A vacuum between the two walls insulates the inner tube, retaining the heat. Linear concentrators use long, rectangular, curved (U-shaped) mirrors tilted to focus sunlight on tubes that run along the length of the mirrors. The concentrated sunlight heats the fluid within the tubes.
Space Cooling
Space cooling can be accomplished using thermally activated cooling systems (TACS) driven by solar energy. Because of a high initial cost, TACS are not widespread. The two systems currently in operation are solar absorption systems and solar desiccant systems. Solar absorption systems use thermal energy to evaporate a refrigerant fluid to cool the air. In contrast, solar desiccant systems use thermal energy to regenerate dessicants that dry the air, thereby cooling the air. These systems also work well with evaporative coolers (also called "swamp coolers") in more humid climates.
Find out about NREL solar technologies research for nonresidential buildings from its Buildings Research website.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Savers has in-depth information on Active Solar Heating.
For more information, see the Advanced Buildings technologies and practices website.

What's Not to Like: It'd be easy for us to just focus on the "looks good" aspect of this chair, but there are some who will absolutely dislike the Thompson Chair's appearance. Consider this a nod to those folks, whoever they are.
The Bottom Line: The Thompson Dining Chair from Gus Modern bears the marks of its mid-century predecessors, and it bears them well.

By Bob Hertzel
For the Times West Virginian
There is one reality about college basketball that cannot be denied, and that is that the purpose of the games played in December and January is solely to put a team in position to make a run to the NCAA Championships.
Little else really matters, and if you accept that, West Virginia knows that at 8-7 and without a quality victory yet they are running out of time.
They had a chance to put such a victory on their resume Saturday when they had No. 18/23 Kansas State down a point in the final 10 seconds of the game, but mangled it badly, fouling to give them the easiest of roads to the tying and winning points and then botching the game's final play.
There is no Kevin Jones, no Da'Sean Butler, no Joe Alexander, no Kevin Pittsnogle or Mike Gansey.
There is a potential player in that class, and that might be what made the Kansas State game so crushing.
West Virginia played the entire 40 minutes without its starting point guard Juwan Staten, who not only happens to be the man you would want with the ball in his hands on the last
possession to either shoot or pass, but who serves as one of your team captains.
Staten was dressed and on the bench, but he is serving an unannounced, and perhaps, unofficial suspension that has lasted a game and a half now, WVU surviving his departure in the overtime game against Texas but coming up one or two mistakes short against Kansas State.
Huggins hasn't announced, per se, why Staten is not playing, other than inferring that he has been in disagreement with Huggins' methods, most likely translating into game strategy but probably being more about the way he has expressed it to the coach.
"He's going to get on the same page with me or he's not going to play anymore," Huggins said when asked for an explanation following Kansas State.
This in so many ways represents Huggins taking the high ground as he delivers a message to the transfer from Dayton — and of his other players, current or future, who may need it — that there is only one captain of this ship.
Rather than call for Huggins to ease up and get Staten back on the floor at such a crucial stage of the season, it is best to call for Staten to get together with his coach and agree to be part of the team's effort toward reaching the NCAAs.
That is not any longer an easy road.
At 8-7, WVU has only 16 more regular season games left, all Big 12 games save for a difficult non-conference trip to Purdue next Saturday in a game that is taking on "must-win" proportions.
If WVU is a .500 team as it has been to date, that would leave it at 16-15 at the end of the regular season and in need of a deep run into the Big 12 Tournament to carry any hopes of an NCAA invitation.
True, this year's edition of the Mountaineers is a young team, and often a trip to the NIT, if that lies ahead, can be used as a springboard for such a youthful group.

The Pistons have signed their lone 2014 draft pick.

ESPN's Marc Stein tweeted Monday evening that the Pistons signed their only 2014 NBA Draft pick, Spencer Dinwiddie, to a three-year deal.

Hearing Pistons second-rounder Spencer Dinwiddie has landed a three-year deal from his new team
 — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 22, 2014

Vince Ellis elaborated a couple hours later that the first two years are guaranteed:

First two years of Dinwiddie's deal guaranteed. #Pistons
 — Vincent Ellis (@Vincent_Ellis56) July 22, 2014

Ellis added at the Freep that the Pistons haven't made an official announcement yet because a physical is still pending.

But Dinwiddie confirmed the news himself by posting an Instagram pic of his signature on what is likely his contract:

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the deal is likely similar to the three-year deal Tony Mitchell signed last summer. After free agents Cartier Martin and Aaron Gray sign their reported deals, the Pistons' roster will be maxed out at 15, requiring the team to drop a player if/when Greg Monroe re-signs.

We await your move now, Moose.

The 'Josh Smith to the Kings' rumors appear to be dead in the offseason water... again.

If you didn't believe Vince Ellis' confirmation that the Josh Smith trade rumors have "no legs" (you should), then take those of Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski's always-rock-solid sources:

Detroit Pistons president and coach Stan Van Gundy reached out to forward Josh Smith to tell him that reports of the franchise engaging in substantive trade talks with Sacramento centered on Smith have been inaccurate and - barring an unexpected turn of events - Smith will be in training camp with the Pistons this fall, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Sacramento had made calls about Smith in June, but Detroit never heard an offer that remotely interested them and never seriously engaged in discussions, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Since his hiring in the spring, Van Gundy has had productive discussions with Smith and sources say that Smith has been enthusiastic about moving forward with Van Gundy as coach.

Van Gundy obviously does not subscribe to the DBB notion that trading Smith would be an addition by subtraction and may even help make a long-term deal more appealing to Greg Monroe. Unwilling to trade the ill-fitting forward for anything the Kings have supposedly offered, I guess it makes sense that Van Gundy wanted to clear the air with Smith; I just wish he hadn't, and one Pistons fan can only hope Van Gundy ventures down that unexpected turn.

 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2014/7/21/5923723/nba-rumors-josh-smith-trade-stan-van-gundy-sacramento-kings-detroit-pistons Packey http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2014/7/21/5923723/nba-rumors-josh-smith-trade-stan-van-gundy-sacramento-kings-detroit-pistons 2014-07-21T13:50:30-04:00 2014-07-21T13:50:30-04:00 NBA rumors: Suns 'considering a Greg Monroe offer,' according to report
Reminder: Not all reports are created equal.

Jordan Schultz of the Huffington Post:

Hearing Suns may be considering a Greg Monroe offer. They have space to get both him and Bledsoe but would lose cap flexibility long-term.
 — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) July 20, 2014

Schultz doesn't often break news. That's not to say he doesn't have NBA connections -- he's the son of Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who used to own the Supersonics before selling out the city of Seattle the franchise to the current owners of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But most of his contributions to the NBA media landscape are things like "LeBron James Heads Back To Cleveland, But Let's Go Easy On The Hero Talk." Need a hot take? He's your guy. Need someone to tell you the Winners And Losers of the NBA Draft or NBA Free Agency? Be sure to read The Schultz Report!

Need a rumor to get people talking and fill the doldrums of NBA free agency -- and what the hell, pick up some retweets and mentions along the way? That's easy, too!

Sources: The top candidate to replace Jim Schwartz as #Lions head coach is indeed Matt Millen.
 — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) December 30, 2013

Forget that Dwight Howard met w/Rockets first. Great source confirms Dwight Howard is likely to sign with the Dallas Mavericks.
 — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) July 1, 2013

So here we are: the Suns may be "considering" making an offer to Greg Monroe. OK. If they sign him and Bledsoe, they lose long-term flexibility. Yep, that's how math works.

Considering how far apart the Suns and Bledsoe are in negotiations, I have a hard time believing the franchise will suddenly pony up the money to sign both him and Monroe, a player who doesn't quite fit their offensive style. There's something to be said for acquiring talent for the sake of talent -- Dan Feldman makes that argument at Pro Basketball Talk -- but talent in the wrong situation often loses value. (See: Smith, Josh)

In any case, it's worth remembering that only three teams* still have the cap space to make Monroe a max offer: the Suns, the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers (who, let's face it, don't really count since no one expects they'll actually spend their money). The Sporting News' Sean Deveney makes a strong case for how the Suns and Hawks hold all the cards for the likes of Bledsoe and Monroe, but I have a hard time seeing either team making an offer the Pistons wouldn't simply match. Who knows, I could be wrong.

(*Update: My math was wrong, other teams have the max, and Atlanta is just shy. Here's a relatively recent list of who has money left.)

Now your thoughts. How worried are you that the Suns might steal Moose from the Pistons?

(hat-tip to VinceD for the FanPost)

Andre Drummond continues to dominate.

With no news on the Josh Smith and/or Greg Monroe front, we resort to following Andre Drummond on social media.

Drummond posted a hilarious Vine the other day titled "Why NBA players shouldn't bowl" and it went viral. Mike Payne brought it to my attention after finding it on the front page of reddit/nba. It currently has over 2,000 more up-votes than almost every other posting, because Drummond is dominant. Even in a bowling alley.

Enjoy it on loop:

Now, your thoughts.

 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2014/7/21/5922607/andre-drummond-vine-nba-players-bowling Packey http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2014/7/21/5922607/andre-drummond-vine-nba-players-bowling 2014-07-18T17:04:46-04:00 2014-07-18T17:04:46-04:00 Stan Van Gundy doesn't know if Greg Monroe would accept max contract from Pistons
From Dave Pemberton at the Oakland Press:

Talking to the media this week, Van Gundy said the situation was out of his control. Van Gundy was asked, 'Well couldn't you just end it by offering him a maximum contract?' and his replay was short but interesting if you read between the lines.

"I don't even know that, that's true," Van Gundy said. "I don't even know that's true."

Monroe might not agree to a max deal?

If that's the case then that means Monroe doesn't want to play in Detroit or he doesn't want to play in Detroit with the current roster, meaning he doesn't want to fight for playing time with Josh Smith and Andre Drummond.

Could Monroe not be signing an offer sheet because signing one would give the Pistons a chance to lock him up long term?

We've already heard that Greg Monroe won't re-sign a long-term deal until/unless Josh Smith is traded -- a report that Monroe personally denied on Twitter and others familiar with Detroit's locker room dynamic described as out of character for Moose. I don't doubt that Moose's representation suggested that Monroe would prefer to be the No. 1 offensive option, but I doubt a stern demand actually came from his own mouth.

So what are we to make of Van Gundy's statement? Personally, I suspect he's (once again) trying to position himself as a passive observer in Monroe's free agency, and that the ball is squarely in Monroe's court.

Van Gundy set the tone early when he said the front office and ownership has already made a decision on every million-dollar increment of an offer sheet Monroe might get, and that he's just waiting to see what number Monroe brings back from the open market. And then he did it again when he said "it's got to be a mutual thing" for Monroe to return -- even though technically it doesn't, at least if you're talking about Detroit's right to match any long-term deal.

So with that in mind, I don't want to read too much into this or try to parse Van Gundy words to find meaning that might not actually be there. Van Gundy has a well-earned reputation for being a straight shooter as a coach, but he's quickly adopted the ambiguity required to be a successful team executive who doesn't tip his cards -- even if it results in everyone accidentally reading too much into his words.

Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press confirmed that the trade talks between the Sacramento Kings and Detroit Pistons seem to be a one-sided affair at this point. The Kings clearly want Josh Smith, but the Pistons aren't interested in what Sacramento can offer:

The Sacramento Kings made another run at Detroit Pistons forward Josh Smith during this week's league meetings in Las Vegas, but they were rebuffed again.

A person with firsthand knowledge of the situation confirmed ESPN's Marc Stein's report that the Kings were interested in Smith. Another source said Thursday morning that there are "no legs" to the report — suggesting that nothing was imminent.

[...] The Kings believed that the Pistons would get rid of Smith without seeking valuable assets in return, but the Pistons have been adamant that that's not the case, and they are prepared to bring him back for his second season in Detroit.

I included the "no legs" reference in Thursday's update, but when I originally published, the Free Press article didn't have Ellis' byline. (Instead, it was Anthony Fenech, who primarily covers the Tigers.) Now that it does (and has been re-written and supplemented with a bit more context), I'm giving it a bit more weight. So even though a Josh Smith trade is fun to think about, I'm taking Ellis' word that it's unlikely -- for now.

But things move fast in the summer -- last year at this time, Joe Dumars adamantly denied rumors the Pistons were inquiring about Brandon Jennings ... only to pull the trigger 15 days later. Maybe Dumars was telling the truth and talks started only after the initial rumor, or maybe he simply put on his best poker face while discussing an incomplete deal. We'll never know.

What we do know, though, is that the Kings are very interested in upgrading at the power forward position, and see Smith as a complement to a frontline that already includes Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins. From Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee:

The Kings' quest to upgrade at power forward has led them back to talks with the Detroit Pistons about Josh Smith, league sources said, though a deal is not imminent.

The Kings have several power forwards, but they do not believe they have a starter they can build around and who will help them reach the playoffs.

Smith, 28, would be an improvement, the kind of athletic presence with shot-blocking ability Sacramento covets to play next to center DeMarcus Cousins.

But acquiring Smith won't be easy, even if the Pistons would like to shed the $40.5 million owed to him over the next three seasons.

Maybe talks die yet again, maybe the mythical third team steps forward in the coming weeks, or maybe Stan Van Gundy truly believes the best option is to wait and allow Smith to rebuild his value playing in a more disciplined offense.

We'll just have to wait and see.

From Ken Berger of CBS Sports:

Renewed discussions between the Kings and Pistons on Josh Smith have not progressed yet to the point where a deal is imminent, source says.
 — Ken Berger (@KBergCBS) July 17, 2014

But ... at least they're still talking? That's a start. As Vincent Goodwill points out at the Detroit News, the difference between the current talks and the ones from several weeks ago is the fact that the Kings now have another bargaining chip: a trade exception:

When the Pistons and Kings engaged in talks a few weeks ago, negotiations centered around trading Smith for Jason Thompson and possibly Derrick Williams or Jason Terry. But according to sources, Pistons president Stan Van Gundy balked at dealing Smith for what essentially came down to spare parts.

However, the Kings have a trade exception they acquired when point guard Isaiah Thomas signed with the Phoenix Suns for $7 million last week, and although it can't be used to absorb Smith's remaining three years and $40 million, perhaps it can be a chip to entice a third team.

The Kings also are looking for a third team to help facilitate a deal, from a talent standpoint or a money standpoint.

I think a third team is an absolute necessity if the Kings are determined to unload Terry -- the Pistons simply have no need for yet another point guard after signing D.J. Augustin, and in fact are probably looking for a way to dump Will Bynum, either in this deal or a separate down the road.

The Detroit Free Press, for what it's worth, is denying that talks are even happening:

A source with firsthand knowledge of the situation told the Free Press this morning that there are "no legs" to the report ...

I'm going to pretend I didn't just read that, not just for my own sanity but also because other local and national outlets are stating the opposite.

Update: The original Free Press report didn't have Vince Ellis' byline -- now it does. Read more here.

Last but not least, this was funny:

Here's what I do know: Kings GM wasn't too enthralled with the deal. If anything, seems like it's being pushed by coach Mike Malone

For the second time this summer, the Pistons and Kings are engaged in trade talks centered around Josh Smith, who signed a four-year, $54 million deal with Detroit last summer.

Update: Detroit's trade talks with the Kings are reportedly "dead," according to DraftExpress.

The Pistons and Kings have discussed a deal that would send Josh Smith to Sacramento, according to a report from ESPN's Marc Stein. "One source insists nothing imminent, but I'm told Pistons and Kings have discussed a trade that would send Josh Smith to Sacramento," he tweeted.

Who might the Pistons receive in return? "One scenario, I'm told, would send Smith to Kings for Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams. Jason Terry might be another option," tweets Stein.

The Pistons overpaid for Smith last summer by signing him to a four-year, $54 million deal -- and that was before he proceeded to play the worst season of his career, shooting a career-low 41.9 percent from the field (including a cringe-worthy 26.4 percent from 3-point land) while playing out of position at small forward. But as we've learned time and again in the NBA, that doesn't mean he can't be moved.

Why would the Kings be interested in acquiring Smith? For one, he'd be allowed to play his natural position of power forward, joining Rudy Gay at small forward and DeMarcus Cousins in the middle. And second, the proposed trade might just be a precursor to a larger deal to remake the Kings:

No word deal is imminent (yet) but Sacramento's well-known fondness for Rajon Rondo would help explain Kings' interest in his buddy JSmoove
 — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 24, 2014

Immediate focus for Kings, though, is dealing No. 8 pick, which looks increasingly inevitable between now and Thursday's draft proceedings
 — Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 24, 2014

It's not yet clear if the Pistons are in the running for the Kings' eighth overall pick, as well. If they are, DBB's Ben Gulker described the various salary cap implications the Pistons must consider for that to happen earlier this afternoon.

Over at SB Nation's Sactown Royalty, Aykis16 seems to like the move:

For Sacramento, this trade would be similar to the one in which they acquired Rudy Gay, getting a big talent who underperformed for as few assets as possible. The Kings would be betting that Smith returns to his Atlanta form and perhaps focuses more on his all-around game rather than his offense with Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins facing the biggest burdens there.

Although SBNation.com's Mike Prada doesn't think the trade is likely -- he rates it a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 -- he can see how the Kings might talk themselves into the deal:

Sacramento is slated to approach the luxury tax even though they won just 28 games last year, so it's not like they can sign impact players in free agency. The No. 8 draft pick is nice, but it's hard to find a star at that spot. Three players averaged 20 points a game for them last year -- emerging young big man DeMarcus Cousins, free-agent point guard Isaiah Thomas and midseason acquisition Rudy Gay -- but the rest of the roster is very shallow and has a number of bad contracts. Consider that Thompson and Carl Landry, two power forwards who did little for the Kings last year, will make nearly $51 million combined through 2017, only $5 million less than Smith. Thus, the Kings may need to gamble on Smith's talent to move up in the West.

Thompson, who turns 28 years old in July, is also coming off a career-worst season, averaging just 7.1 points and 6.4 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game. That's disappointing if you view him as a potential starter, but it's acceptable as a big man off the bench. He also plays a defined position and has attempted just five 3-pointers the last three seasons combined, which is more than you can say for Smith. Thompson is signed through the 2016-17 season after inking a 5-year, $30.1 million deal in 2012. He's owed $6 million in 2014-15, $6.4 million in 2015-16 and $6.8 million in the final year.

Williams, on the other hand, might still have some potential waiting to be unlocked. The former second overall pick by the Timberwolves in the 2011 draft just turned 23 years old in May, arriving to the Kings last year in a midseason trade. Unfortunately he fancies himself a bit of a 3-point shooter despite converting on just 29.6 percent of his attempts, but I trust Stan Van Gundy could corral the young player into achieving his fullest potential. Williams has averaged 10.1 points with 4.9 rebounds while averaging 23.2 minutes per game in his three seasons in the league.

In April, DBB's own revken included the Kings in a post outlining several potential trade partners:

The priority for the Kings this summer has to be keeping Isaiah Thomas, who will soon cease to be the league's cheapest 20 points per game scorer. But ever since they rejuvenated Rudy Gay's career, some Pistons' fans have wondered if the Kings would also like to try their hand with Smith. He might actually be a good complement upfront to DeMarcus Cousins.

For a trade to work, it would probably have to include either Carl Landry (three years/$19.5 million) or Jason Thompson (three years/$19.3 million), plus one other player. Either Jason Terry (one year/$5.9 million) or Derrick Williams (one year/$6.3 million) should suffice. Terry, for example, could take Rodney Stuckey's place in the Detroit guard rotation next season. Currently recovering from knee surgery, Landry has been a useful reserve at power forward for most of his career. While the third year of his deal would extend through the 2016-17 season, its modest amount ($6.5 million) would still save the Pistons $7 million they could use to meet other needs. The same is true for Thompson if the Kings preferred to offer him.

If this deal comes to fruition -- and I should remind you before getting too excited, the two teams are simply taking, and Stein hedged by saying nothing was imminent -- it would certainly seem to indicate the Pistons are willing to commit big money to restricted free agent Greg Monroe, who's about to get a lot of money once he hits the market. Van Gundy met with the Detroit media this afternoon, addressing Monroe's impending free agency:

Highlights from SVG: Careful to say he "values" Greg Monroe vs. "wanting" him. Said they have have investigated every angle

M: Very sweet, yet a slightly tart aftertaste. Full bodied with bountiful amounts of roasted malt flavors.
O: I have had a lot of oatmeal stouts, but this is my first oatmeal porter. Kind of similar to a stout, but has some sour characteristics which makes it unique. Love Widmer Brothers beers and this was a real treat for me to try. Keep them coming boys!

Bottled 2/14/12.
Pours an almost opaque super dark brown with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to an oily film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, toasted oats, and some unsweetened cocoa aromas. There is a distinct butter aroma that comes out as the beer warms. Taste is much the same with some buttery and slight dark fruit flavors on the finish. There is a mild roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty average beer with a weird buttery flavor that is probably not supposed to be happening.

12 oz. bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter.
A: One-finger khaki head of dense, tight foam that slowly becomes almost solid lace across the surface. Dark brown. Very opaque, but not solid.
S: Roasted, almost burnt malts, dark chocolate, lightly burnt caramels.
T: More dark caramel and bits of 50% chocolate lacking pronounced bitterness than the nose suggests. Oats appear in the back end to suggest a rather dense, grainy bread. Hints of light roast coffee slide into cocoa. Flavors are on the lighter, softer side rather than being a saturated taste bomb. Just enough neutral / grassy hops appear in the back end to balance.
M: Surprisingly fizzy with a lighter structure than expected. Creamy on the palette. Pretty short, clean, rather dry finish thanks to the hops. Flavors are well-integrated.
O: Definitely a porter, not a mis-named stout. If drinking as a single, end-of-day beverage, it might not pack enough volume of flavor to satisfy. Would pair well with items normally associated with medium dark to milk chocolate that would be dominated by a heavier brew. Oatmeal adds polish and malts to compliment the dark sugars nicely. Enjoyable, but if I started drinking this on a regular basis, I think I would keep wanting just a little bit more from it.

Seed Here celebrates second birthday with Cedar Rapids' Vault Coworking
Seed Here will celebrate its second birthday––which technically falls on Independence Day––and the "success of the East Coast of the Silicon Prairie" this Thursday with the help of Cedar Rapids' Vault Coworking space.
Join what organizers are calling the "community launch party" from 5–7 p.m. to celebrate Seed Here as well as a number of other big accomplishments around the region.
Seed Here, a self-described social good company that helps support entrepreneurs in Iowa's Creative Corridor, was founded in July 2011 after co-founders Andy Stoll and Amanda Styron began noticing more and more startup activity in the region.
"We wanted to cultivate the conditions and community that give entrepreneurs and creatives the best possible chance to thrive," Stoll said.
Following the most recent news of the return of NextStep, formerly RecBob, to the area and the announcement last month Bandwidth Pool was awarded a $100,000 loan from the Iowa Economic Development Authority, Stoll and Styron believe the Cedar Rapids community has a lot to celebrate.
"As with any startup, we didn't even know when we started this if there was going to be a future and now there's a lot of exciting things on tap," Styron said.
While Styron and Stoll couldn't specify exactly what those "exciting things" would be as of Wednesday afternoon, they did tell Silicon Prairie News that the news will be announced at the event.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information or to RSVP, visit the Eventbrite site.
