In the past Rich has said things that I told him made it all worse and that if he couldn't be helpful he needed to keep his mouth shut.
When the girls were really little, he used to pull that "I'll give you something to cry about" crap. omg would that ever light me on fire! DUH! They do have something to cry about, that's why they're crying!! He hasn't said that in years and years, but I still get mad just thinking about it.
I never handled it tactfully...it would turn into an argument because I'd freak out on him.
DH says that too, "I'll give you something to cry about" and not only is it an empty threat because he never hits Josh, but it's just so hurtful. It's not just with Josh that he does that though. He thinks anyone being openly emotional is faking it or too sensitive and he just brushes it off. I'm sure it comes from how he was raised.
I am sorry. Poor Savana - to feel so sad to lose something and then to be judged as bad for feeling sad. Ugh. That breaks my heart. I hope she never feels like her feelings are not valid.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
TBH, I guess that I am in the rude category. I just don't think that it would occur to me to help a person with kids at the airport. In my experience, the few times I tried to offer help, it was not well received. So now I mostly just only offer to help if I am at work as that is part of my job and people don't look at you strange if you are asking them if they need any help and you have an employee name tag on. Otherwise I just mind my own business when not at work.
Plus for a couple of years I have basically tried to mostly avoid babies and little kids as best as I could....and when I couldn't avoid, I would try to ignore. Only been the past two months or so when I can look at babies and smile at them or their parents (except at work where I would fake it because well it was work).
I'm sorry for those of you having sister issues. I'm so lucky there in that mine is my best friend other than DH. Thank god they get along really well because she has even come on vacation with us a couple of times. When we do have our baby, she is going to be the godmother as well being named legal guardian for our baby, our dog or dogs at the time and any money will go to her for the baby....we will definitely do a will for that. She is so excited for us to have a baby....and even said she would have one for us if we wanted. Even growing up we didn't fight all that much...just minor stuff like when I was 16 and really cool and she was 11 and really not cool (or so I thought LOL). I would do anything for her.
In a way I'm a bit sad because DH doesn't have that and I am pretty sure that our child will be an only child. I do not see us going through adopting twice due to the money.....and of course nothing says siblings will get along or even like each other. Only way we will have two kids will be if we somehow got pg after the adoption but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.
There are too many people who pretend to just not notice other people when they're in need and that just makes me sad. When I first started working at my current workplace, one of the things you have to do when working at the office is to spend a day in a store with the colleagues and help bag groceries, shadow a shelf stocker, that sort of thing. There was a woman that bought a cart full of groceries and then was struggling to carry 2 big boxes of diapers out to her car, so I asked her if she wanted me to help her carry them out. She was so appreciative. Everyone else just stood there. I hate that.
If it was something like maybe opening a door, yeah that I tend to do. Something more involved, probably not. I wouldn't want some stranger helping me with a child involved and so there is a good chance that I wouldn't even think to offer. And people tend to get very snippity when you insinuate that they are not handling their kid or dealing with it well. So that I probably would just ignore under most circumstances unless the parent seemed super friendly. And to top things off, I am on the more shy side in person so I don't generally go up and strike conversations with strangers. And for a number of years, I will cop to being jealous and bitter....I figured your kid, your problem....and wished that I was in their shoes instead.
At work though, totally different story. I'm all about customer service. I force myself to smile, say hi, say can I help you find anything if they look lost (we just opened a new building so things are VERY different).
As for some parents getting snippy-that's true. Some do. Even being a mom, I had a woman lash out at me because I left the line I was in to open and hold the door she was struggling to get a stroller through. I just said, "Sorry" and got back in line. I figured she had more issues than just fitting a wide stroller through a manual door.
When Conner was freaking out on the plane, one older lady came up to us and offered to hold him. She stood rocking him back and forth for the longest time. I had tried, but he just kicked and shoved at me and carried on even louder. Anyway, when she had him all soothed and returned to me, she said she had a little boy once but lost him to cancer. She said, "Enjoy him as much as you can, even in the difficult moments." I sat there fighting back tears after...not because of the stress or my failure to comfort my own son, but because I at least had my son to give me fits. I try to remember that when he's really testing my limits.
God, Chrissy. That is a beautiful story. I'm wiping a tear.
I would not expect someone to help me with the kids so much as the rest of my load. It was never that my kids weren't behaving. One time I asked the flight attendant on duty how I could get to the shuttle with Kai in the ergo, Savana asleep in the stroller, a diaper bag, my nursing pillow, and Savana's little carry on and she pointed to the steps. I asked if there was an elevator and she said they close it down after a certain time of night. There were several people standing around some that actually worked there and they were just looking at me! I started to turn Savana's stroller to pull it backward down the steps, then stopped and decided to run everything else down first while leaving her up. When I sprinted down and dropped everything and sprinted back up, one of the luggage loader guys saw me from outside and came rushing in to help me get Savana and the stroller down the steps. The rest of those people could seriously kiss my arse. What if I had been in a wheelchair? Would there still have been no elevator?
Thank goodness that life balances out generally because there have been countless times that strangers have helped me at different times in my life.
That would have aggravated me. I'm sure it's against the law for them to not have handicap accessibility. It's just a matter of time before someone with a wheelchair will come at the 'wrong' time.
I'm always offering to help people-like getting things from high shelves in the store, or the really heavy, 50 lb bags of dog food. If they look like they're having a hard time, I'll say, "Can I help you with that?" I just think it's common courtesy, and it has never made me late for anything, ever!
And this is why I never traveled alone with the twins. Dh kept asking me to meet him places when he traveled for work, and when I talked to airlines and they told me they couldn't do a thing to help me and that if I needed to change one baby and the other one was sleeping, I'd have to take both to the tiny airplane bathroom with me (no changing in the seats), I said forget it. And I soon found out when traveling with dh that a lot of planes don't even have changing tables. Can you imagine trying to balance yourself and two babies in a tiny bathroom, while changing a poopy diaper? Very difficult.

I changed mine right in the seat.
For SHAME!!
But me trying to use the bathroom was a trip, let me tell you.
Oh, what a touching story, chrissy. *teary-eyed*
bridget, my DH totally misinterprets the terms and phrases I use and tries to throw them back at me too. It is so **** frustrating, I know! Your poor little Savana. She has such a delicate heart. It's so sad that Mark considered her crying a "poor choice". You don't choose your emotions, you choose how to react to them. And she reacted so beautifully. I think Mark is like a lot of guys out there, actually, who are very uncomfortable with showing emotion because they think it makes them weak.
My ex is a sort of dating "expert". It's how he makes his living anyway (and that includes using episodes from our relationship as chapters in his books where I'm the cautionary tale). As much as I disagree with his interpretation of our relationship, he still makes some great points (and I am grateful at least he doesn't mention me by name). One of his essays has to do with the tradeoff between masculine traits and feminine sensitivity in a guy - how it's very rare to find them both in a man. From what I've observed that's unfortunately pretty true. The more "strong and take-charge" a guy is - two arguably desirable traits, the less nuanced he is when it comes to emotions. Anyway, I guess the takeaway is that it's apparently unrealistic to expect both in your male mate. Is your man a bit of an "alpha" type, bridget?
I can only imagine men make a tradeoff along similar lines with women. I know I lean towards more logical thinking, and DH doesn't get a lot of feminine vulnerability from me as a consequence. Sometimes I think he wishes I were more of a sensitive, nostalgic chick.

I confess we got a diagnosis as to my aunts myserious illness today. ( a week after she passed).
It was Guillain-Barre Syndrom, and the kicker -- totally treatable if caught in time.
It has the same symptoms as her MS, so they had no clue.
Ash, I'm so sorry! Did they find this out during an autopsy?
Oh, gosh, Ashley, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's just seems so cruel. How are you and the rest of your family doing?
Oh Ash! How devastating! I'm so sorry.
Myles, what you say makes a lot of sense. Dbf couldn't be more alpha. And it is his manly manliness that attracted me to him in the first place. Added to the fact that he overcompensates for being very insecure. I think he wishes I was a starry eyed sensitive chick as well.
I cannot believe your ex references you in the book! That would make me crazy!
I wouldn't mind some more take charge in him....BUT I love the sensitive side and wouldn't want to give that up.
And now for the clumsy transition to a completely separate (and entirely goofy) topic, I've been meaning to share this with all the BSG fans we have in the room for awhile now:
We have house Cylon!! He lives on top of our chimney and swivels around in the wind, making this totally cool sci-fi sound effect.
In fact, practically every house in my town has a Cylon on the roof. I finally got around to snapping a photo and posting it online. I'm gonna love him, and pet him and call him Eli.
And while we're on the subject, I might as well share that DH and I have a little song we've sung ever since Season 1 of BSG. It goes like this:
(*** sung in a robot voice and with clapping ***)
I am a Cylon
I like to party
I am a Cylon
I rock my body
I made it up, but DH gets all funky to it when he dances along.
On the spectrum of "Sensitive & emotionally intelligent" ----> to ----> "strong and take charge", I wonder where "dances enthusiastically to wife's songs about humanoids" falls? LOL.
How is your mom?
Myles, you crack me up, woman! I kind of cheated on the BSG thing and read all the episode synopsi on the SyFy website because I was impatient to know what happened....but I'm still watching the real show, of course.

Who's the team to beat in Region 7? No. 9 Norcross travels to No. 5 North Gwinnett in the only AAAAAA game between ranked teams. Norcross allowed only 102 yards of total offense in the 20-0 victory over Parkview last week, but there is concern about all-state RB Alvin Kamara, who has a sprained ankle. North Gwinnett has won Region 7 the past three seasons, beating Norcross each time.
Can Lovejoy or Alpharetta make up for a loss? Both started the season ranked after breakout seasons in 2011, Lovejoy reaching its first state final in AAAA, and Alpharetta winning its first region title. Lovejoy lost to Colquitt County, Alpharetta to Milton. This game at Lovejoy features Alpharetta's passing game of QB Josh Dobbs (649 yards passing in two games) and WR Carlos Burse against Lovejoy's attack defense led by Nathaniel Norwood.
How will Eddie Printz do against Kell's stellar secondary? Not counting Walton, Lassiter and Kell could be Cobb County's best two teams. Kell, No. 3 in AAAAA, has a secondary of FS Quincy Mauger (committed to Georgia), CB Brendan Langley (South Carolina), CB Jay Moxey (two-year starter) and SS Taylor Henkle (starter since ninth grade). Lassiter, No. 4 in AAAAAA, has AJC Super 11 QB Eddie Printz who is 34-of-48 for 526 yards and six touchdowns.
Who's Grayson's top challenger in Region 8? Archer plays at Brookwood on Firday in a game between schools picked to finish second (Brookwood) and third (Archer) in Region 8 by Georgia High School Football Daily. Grayson, ranked No. 1, plays at Parkview, a team looking for its first touchdown against perhaps the state's best defense. At Brookwood, looks for a run-oriented game. Archer's Sean Fowler (126 yards) and Ernest Alexander (105 yards) each topped 100 yards in a 27-6 victory over East Coweta last week. Brookwood is led by Jamaal Cole, a former 1,000-yard rusher, but when he was banged up last week, Josh Brown stepped up and ran for 243 yards in a 31-21 victory over Mill Creek.
Is Region 1 ripe for another upset to a smaller school? The biggest upset of last week was Brooks County's 28-24 victory over Valdosta. ''If we get lucky enough to win a state title, that would put us with two state titles in one year,'' Brooks County coach Maurice Freeman said. Brooks is No. 2 in Class AA. This week, No. 4 Carver-Columbus of AAA plays at Colquitt County, and No. 9 Burke County plays at Coffee. Burke won AAA last season.

How did Valdosta win region 1 last year?
September 12th, 2012
11:53 am
If Kell can get a defensive TD I think they have a good shot at defeating my Trojans. However, it will be interesting to see what hteir offense does against Lassiter's defense sicne they have got a ton of pressure on the QB and the backfield in general through the first 2 games.
Kell will need all of those guys in the secondary to play well on Friday to cover all of the weapons Lassiter has with their receivers.

grayram: Great question. Having watched the Cats all last season, my best answer is that Gillespie and co. coached their heads off. Valdosta was the least talented team in Region 1 last year, in my opinion, but won on coaching and hard work, with a QB that didn't play till game 5. D1 talent is not there this year either, at least not in senior class, but Valdosta will have a say in who wins Region 1.
September 12th, 2012
3:54 pm
The jury is still out whether or not Grayson has the best defense in the state. Have to see them against a balanced attack offense. Macheachern did not have it, however they did run the ball rather well. Central was overated.
September 12th, 2012
4:09 pm
Valdosta won last year on coaching, they got UP for their games against Lowndes and colquitt …… Colquitts coach cost them the region title…..he was out coached starting with the over time coin flip…..because of his arrogance
September 12th, 2012
4:47 pm
Josh Dobbs is a talent. He will be much harder for the Wildcats to deal with than Seagraves was last week. 324 ypg. passing is very good. We will have to get alot of pressure on him and cover well for us to come out on top.
September 12th, 2012
7:37 pm
IMO, CC came out really flat against Valdosta last year. They didn't seem pumped up and excited about the game. Valdosta, on the other hand, was. I felt like we thought we had it "in the bag" and didn't have to work for it.
I kept trying to tell them (from the stands) that they needed to get excited, but,alas, they weren't listening. They should've listened to me!!

@packerchick – Tell 'em sister! I think how the team feels about the opposition makes a huge difference. We looked past y'all in 2010 and lost. While not looking past us, I felt the Packers were expecting the 2010 Rams and got surprised last year. I've seen plenty of teams not worry about their opposition and get their heads handed to them! With teenage boys, they have got to take it serious and be pumped about the game.

This is not the first season that a little AA program has beaten programs from South Georgia's overhyped Region 1. Colquitt County advanced to the state championship after losing to AA Cook HS. These are no upsets. It is simply mediocre football played down there. It is as simple as that. I know that you guys at the AJC romanticize the football down there. However, on one has addressed this simple question.
If South Georgia Region 1 football is soooo good, how can one program player four full seasons down there and go 17-1 against this top tier football? It simply does not add up. Losses to programs like Cook HS and Brooks County HS further bolster my claim that the football down there is slightly above mediocre…that is it! McEachern, Cook HS, Brooks County HS and others simply do not lose against these middle of the road programs. Watch Camden County run the table down there every season. Colquitt County has lost 6 or more games in 3 of the past 5 seasons. It is not top tier football! That is why Valdosta loses to the Brooks Countys of the world.

Miami may have been over rated but Friday night they beat the team that the polls had as the number 4 team in the country. And about Mceachern i don't think anyone is giving the kid that played QB for them against Grayson enough credit. You can say Graysons D didn't have its best game or it was the 1st game whatever, that kid executed play after play.

This is the time to really make sure college coaches know who you are. If your a Sophomore or Junior, you must make sure your being proactive about your recruiting and not waiting for college coaches to contact you. If your a Senior and not receiving phone calls, your not being recruited. It has nothing to do with your talent, college coaches just don't know who you are. Web Star Recruits can help!

@highschoolhigh- I agree with grayram. We'll see how Central fares against Manatee this weekend, who is ranked #1 in 5 polls and see how overrated they are. At the end of the day it is all about the W and not who has the best defense.

grayram…….Question 7 , When if ever will we realize that Georgia football is head and shoulders above the rest…..Nothing against Grayson ,ive been impressed with what Conn has been doing since 08 , but the way Grayson handled the Florida school was no surprise to me, there are 20 plus schools in state better than Central….We need to see that it is no longer needed that Grayson ,Camden ,NG for example schedule these so called marquee games against out of state squads……The Corky Kell could be a showcase for GA high school football if the right schools we're scheduled…….If the likes of Sandy Creek , Peach County , Northside W.R , Burke for example were part of the Corky Kell . These squads would mop the floor with Kell , NG and give Grayson a good showing.

Eagle nation, are you saying the region was the same a few years back when y'all were in than what it is now?
September 14th, 2012
9:44 am
Georgia High school football is surely playing at very high level. I remember Buford winning some games in Texas a few years ago and i know Georgia teams in the last couple of years have beaten some teams pretty badly from Florida, Illinois, South Carolina, California.
The Corky Kell usually has very good teams playing, it is usually alot of Gwinnett vs Cobb but Camden is a frequent participant and this year Colquitt was there. With Grayson, Noth Gwinnett, Colquitt, Camden, Brookwood, and Walton this year they had at least six teams that are either recent state champions, state runner up or in North's case playoff regulars.
I'm sure North Warner Robins and Sandy Creek could compete very well. Peach County and Burke i don't know much about but i'm pretty sure they are small schools that probably woudn't be able to bring enough people to satisfy the money men. I know that one of those A or AA teams beat Valdosta but i don't really think Valdosta could have won against any of the teams in the Corky Kell.
I do like the idea of it being a North vs South showcase if it were like Camden, Lowndes, Colquitt.
September 14th, 2012
11:18 am
@Reeze – If we don't play out of state games, Georgia HS football will either be ignored on the national level or relegated to all-ran status. I've been paying more attention to some of the national boards this year and they really don't give much credence to teams that don't play OOS. I'm not saying it is right, just that it is. As a rising tide lifts all ships, Ga football as a whole is perceived better when some teams do play OOS opponents and do well.

@ Camden74
how's it been?? I agree all hype… they've yet got ANYTHING to talk (brag) about up north. yea there are a few teams that are pretty good, but as we know, it"ll come out in the wash, which is call the playoffs.
yea, yea Lovejoy in a blog last week makes a statement, what kind of statement do you make with a loss, just sayin… Not bashing, Lovejoy or any team, but where is the power??? IMO grayson will falter and fall, watch for it.
And boy our region is going to be fun…. glad to have ya'll this year, win or lose. I have watched a few games this year from some of the so called power teams from gthe north, and got to wonder about these rankings, I could do a better job than a lot of them, (probably not)…
for an example I watched the Norcross/Parview game last week, come on man…. I'm predicting that there will be a state champion from the south this year..
And I know I know you would say it is going to be ya'll and i am saying that it will be us…. but I believe we have a way better chance at it than the teams I have seen that are highly ranked, and it just ain't there…
September 14th, 2012

I am liking lasssiter's qb, Prinz he is a gamer, but what else have they got, and Kell a pretty balanced team, should have beat Grayson last year, didn't lose by but 7-0, and they were in a lower region…
And the question was asked about grayson being challenged within their region and the answer is yes.. Again Bwood handed them the gift last year, and grason won, but it was by 1 (ONE) mistake by Bwood,

The History and Legacy of the China Rose
By Howard Higson
Of the nearly two hundred species of roses, found exclusively within the subtropical and temperate northern latitudes, two have contributed uniquely to our rose heritage: Rosa chinensis var. spontanea (Rehd. & Wils.) T.T. Yu & Ku and R. odorata var. gigantea (Collett ex Crépin) Rehd. & Wils. (or R. gigantea) have provided the world with traits highly prized in the modern age of rose culture, thanks to centuries of domestication in China and subsequent hybridizing in Europe . China has, in fact, an unparalleled richness of overall biodiversity, and its roses are found to be no exception: 93 species and 144 varieties are native to China , while 80 percent of these are endemic (occur naturally only in one area).

Annapolis' burrito war between Chipotle and Moe's Southwest Grill has ended.
The city's Board of Appeals voted unanimously to grant Chipotle a special exception permit to open a location at 36 Market Space—the space currently occupied by Hard Bean Coffee and Booksellers.
At the board's December meeting, attorneys on behalf of Moe's brought a land-use consultant and pages of documents which they said proved Chipotle is a fast food restaurant, and it would not be able to comply with the city's rule that restaurants only derive 10 percent of their revenue from takeout.
Board member James Gregory challenged Moe's representatives to explain how their restaurant was fundamentally different from Chipotle in that regard in December.
A point he reiterated during deliberations on Wednesday night.
"This board granted the special exception for Moe's," Gregory said. "I don't see how we can deny this request when the board approved Moe's request."
Whether Chipotle will keep its promises is an enforcement issue—which goes beyond the purview of the board, said Vice Chair Christian Elkington.
"This is a separate location and they have addressed the things they need to in order to satisfy the special exception," Elkington said.
Moe's also argued in December that a Chipotle would bring increased traffic, noise and trash that would harm the Market Space neighborhood—a point raised by several area residents during the board's first meeting on the subject.
"This board has already made a decision that a standard restaurant should be in that spot," Elkington said.
The board granted Hard Bean permission to operate as a standard restaurant that served alcohol in 2008.
"When you're modifying the special exception, you don't have to totally address the standards," Planning Administrator Jacquelyn Rouse said. "It's really in the context of what those amendments are for."
By obtaining Hard Bean's permit, Chipotle also becomes the first chain restaurant to own a liquor license in the historic district.
Elkington did take a moment during deliberations to recognize the testimony he heard from concerned Ward One residents about whether Chipotle would lower the value of their homes.
"That is unfortunately not one of the standards ... that is currently permissible for us to consider," Elkington said.
He noted that the city may want to incorporate that standard into the code in the future.
Now that Chipotle has permission to move forward, the company could be serving its first burritos before the end of 2013.

The delays on Interstate 475 and Interstate 75 are getting longer during the overnight hours beginning Thursday, February 14.
While bridge work is being done as part of the I-475/I-75 upgrade project, lanes will close in both directions intermittently for up to 30 minutes. This will happen between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The locations at which this will happen include:
-I-475 in both directions between Douglas Avenue and Auburn Avenue
-The ramp from I-75 North to I-475 West
-I-75 South from Willys Parkway to Detroit Avenue
-Some city streets and ramps will also see restrictions
Ohio Department of Transportation officials expect the project to be complete by the fall.
Residents near the construction believe all the roadwork will be nice in the end and have a positive impact on Toledo. However, they wish it was a shorter process because they are tired of the inconvenience and lost drivers turning around in private driveways.

There might not be a worse team in the NBA this season than the Detroit Pistons. The organization is handcuffed considerably because ownership is in the process of selling the team, and that has left a very mediocre roster to sit and stagnate all summer, with nary an improvement to be found. After being one of the brashest free agent buyers last summer, the Pistons spent the summer of 2010 on the sidelines, which is basically where they are going to spend the bulk of the season unless they have a big move up their sleeves.
The problem for the Pistons revolves (somewhat unfairly) around the person of Rodney Stuckey. In Stuckey's rookie year, he inspired the organization's front office. His burly frame, aggressive driving and, let's face it, economical rookie scale contract led the team to feel secure in shipping off mainstay point guard Chauncey Billups so they could hand the position to Stuckey. One assumes that the team had hoped that his passing and shooting skills would eventually catch up to the responsibilities laid on his shoulders, but after two seasons that has not happened. Last season he was seventh from the bottom in assist rate for point guards (a statistical measurement of possessions ending in an assist) and he was sixth from the bottom amongst point guards in true shooting percentage at just 48%. By nearly no measurement is Stuckey a point guard, and yet with Rip Hamilton, Ben Gordon and Tracy McGrady on the roster, there aren't any minutes available for him at the off-guard spot, so the point is where he'll remain. The team was so convinced that Stuckey had what it took to lead a team at the point of attack that they designed the rest of their team around that fact. Simply put, it has not worked out the way they had hoped and the team looks horribly imbalanced as a result.
That isn't to say that the rest of the team is really all that great either. Yes, injuries did a number on the Pistons a year ago, with Hamilton, Gordon and Tayshaun Prince all missing major time with injuries, but it's hard to imagine them helping the cause all that much given the state of the rest of the roster. This team has absolutely no reliable options in the post, which puts tremendous pressure on the backcourt to create an inordinate amount of offense for the team, which isn't really the skill of the players they are employing. Hamilton doesn't create offense, he runs himself ragged off of screens and then finishes an offensive possession. Gordon is a streak shooter who likes to create offense for himself, but his career average of 3.0 assists per-game show how interested he is in using that skill to help others. Both guys shot horribly last season, though, because they weren't being fed regularly by a quality playmaker (Hamilton: 41%, Gordon: 42%), nor did they have quality post scoring to suck in defenses and open up the perimeter for them.
That's part of what made this summer so quizzical for the Pistons. While on the one hand they didn't have a lot of financial flexibility (they are $4-million away from the luxury tax threshold) and they are curious to see the whole team healthy for a full season, it isn't as though this team is good enough to assume that a full season together is going to do anything besides de-value their assets. Yes, Tayshaun Prince has an $11-million expiring contract, but at 30-years-old and coming off of the most injury-riddled season of his career, you're taking a big risk that he'll have a terrific campaign that inspires a team to overpay for him at the deadline. With clubs like Toronto and Cleveland in possession large Traded Player Exceptions, and clubs like New Jersey and Minnesota far enough below the cap to absorb some major salaries outright themselves, an expiring contract doesn't have the same value it usually would. When teams can simply relieve a fellow club of a large contract without having to send ANY money back, expiring or otherwise, it knocks the worth of an expiring deal down quite a few pegs.
It's hard to get much of a read on the future of this franchise while they are in the process of searching for new ownership, but the immediate outlook is crystal clear – and it ain't pretty. Joe Dumars may have put together one of the most unconventionally successful rosters of the last decade, but he's going to have to start proving that wasn't a fluke soon before his reputation as an executive becomes little more than a lone bright spot amongst a whole sea of darkness.
PG – RODNEY STUCKEYThe thing is, at this point the Pistons have so thoroughly overplayed their hand with regards to Stuckey that they couldn't even trade him based on his potential anymore. They've been so determined in their desire to hand over responsibility to the 6-5 guard that there isn't anyone who follows the NBA that isn't intimately aware of his limitations as a player. He's either a point guard that can't pass or a shooting guard that can't shoot, and his nearly 6, 100 career minutes are simply too large a sample size to write off the evidence to date. He'll be a restricted free agent at the end of the season and it's hard to see the team opting to keep him if he puts up another season like the last two. This team needs a real point guard in the worst way and they can't afford to keep him as an overpriced backup given their other salary obligations. It's a story to keep an eye on, though, in case a contract year brings out a quality in Stuckey's game that has yet to reveal itself to the Pistons organization.
SG – RICHARD "RIP" HAMILTONAt 32-years-old and declining rapidly both in terms of health and play, the contract of Rip Hamilton is only going to get harder to move from here on out. In one sense the team has to continue starting him in an attempt to keep his value from falling off of a cliff, but in another sense they have to make sure that they can free up enough minutes for Ben Gordon in an attempt to justify the $48-million still owed to him (remember, Gordon is coming off of a career-worst year). Still, the priority has to be getting Hamilton and his rapidly declining PER onto someone else's books as soon as possible, so that means plenty of minutes and plenty of touches, which means that the Gordon reclamation has to wait until Rip has been relocated.
SF – TAYSHAUN PRINCEThere are plenty of NBA clubs that would love to get their hands on Prince; he's still a long and active defender and he has been a model of consistency for his entire career. Plus, the Pistons are motivated to move him because they are looking to the future with guys like Austin Daye and Jonas Jerebko breathing down his neck for minutes. Still, is any team going to give up meaningful assets to net him? Would any club that could use his services really feel the need to part with a first-round pick or young players to get their hands on a 30-year-old who could bolt at the end of the season? The Pistons have made it clear they won't dump a guy that is arguably their best player, but at the same time they risk losing him for nothing if aren't realistic about what they can get back for him on the open market.
PF – GREG MONROESure, Charlie Villaneuva wants to challenge for this role and Jerebko actually played much better at this spot than at small forward a year ago, but when you grab a player with the seventh pick in the draft you have to consider starting him right away. That notion becomes doubly true when you're a very bad team and are in need of the kind of skills he provides (passing, big-man offense, passing, ability to create a shot, passing) at his position. This club needs an offensive anchor to run things through, and Monroe could provide that purely on the basis of his playmaking at the high post. Seriously, is Charlie Villanueva really much of a threat to improve upon those skills at this point in his career? C'mon now. It's Monroe's spot to lose and it says here that no player on the Pistons has the ability to unseat him heading into the season.
C – BEN WALLACEIt's probably safe to say that Wallace was something of a revelation last season. Left for dead after stints with Chicago and Cleveland, Wallace returned to the Pistons and was reborn, averaging 8.7 boards, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals each night in only 28.6 minutes. Sure, expecting him to do it again, after another year has been added to his body, could be asking a lot, but his shocking turnaround last season has certainly bought the guy reason enough to try. Besides, in case you haven't been paying attention, this team is pretty thin up front, so it isn't like there are any players pushing him out of the way with the quality of their play. He may be in the twilight of his career, but Wallace is still the most dependable big man they have to trot out every night.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A new report shows that Tom Barrett's campaign fund forfeited $20,000 for taking too much from special interests in his 2012 recall campaign for governor.
The Milwaukee mayor lost by seven percentage points to Republican Scott Walker. It was Barrett's second straight bid to give the executive branch back to the Democrats.
State law limited gubernatorial candidates to just over $700,000 after the recall contest had been scheduled.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the Barrett camp received almost $721,000, and political adviser Patrick Guarasci called it, "an error made completely by accident." He blamed the mistake on the intensity of the recall drive against Walker. Guarasci called it a year-long campaign that was waged in a matter of weeks.
The Journal Sentinel said the settlement was mentioned in a court filing connected with a John Doe probe into alleged illegal campaign activities involving Republicans and outside groups in the recall contests.

Fifteen to 25 percent of all injuries involving the human musculoskeletal system are reportedly sprains of the lateral ankle ligaments.1 The majority of patients with ankle sprains have excellent results following surgical treatment but 20 to 40 percent of patients with severe ankle sprains will have continued pain and instability.2
Primary repair typically consists of a Brostrom procedure involving the anterior talofibular ligament. There is debate on the optimal surgical treatment of choice for patients with chronic ankle instability. Researchers have described many procedures in the literature for patients with recurrent injury.3-9 Procedures range from primary end to end repair of the ligaments to ligament reconstruction with tendon grafts.
The ideal reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligaments should attempt to restore the normal ankle anatomy and function. Many of the aforementioned procedures sacrifice normal tissue and are not anatomic reconstruction. This may disrupt the normal kinematics of the joints.10
Allograft tissue offers advantages such as shorter operative time, no donor site morbidity, better availability of grafts, decreased incidence of arthrofibrosis and fewer postoperative complications. Disadvantages include risk of disease transmission, the potential for subclinical immune response and increased cost.11
This article describes the surgical technique for the anatomic reconstruction of the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligament using a peroneal tendon allograft.
The main surgical indication for any lateral ligament procedure is failure of conservative treatment and the inability of the patient to perform normal activities due to pain or instability. The exceptions to the rule are elite level athletes, in whom repair of the injured ligament as soon as possible is recommended.
During the initial consultation with patients, pertinent questions would include ascertaining the length of time they have had instability and the number of "bad" sprains they have had that prohibited walking immediately afterward.
The question now becomes primary repair (Brostrom) versus lateral ligament reconstruction. The main indication for a primary repair is a single ligament injury. Traditionally, the indication for a lateral ankle ligament reconstruction has been failure of an attempted primary repair and/or a patient weighing greater than 250 pounds.
I have also found that patients with generalized ligament laxity with injury to both the anterior talofibular ligament (ATF) and calcaneofibular (CF) ligaments fare poorly with a primary repair. With any surgical reconstruction of the ligaments, the surgeon must address any underlying structural deformities such as hindfoot varus, a plantarflexed medial column and underlying muscle instability.
Patient positioning is based on what adjunctive procedures are necessary. Surgeons should perform osseous procedures first to correct the foot structure. When utilizing ankle arthroscopy, I start with the patient in a supine position, perform the arthroscopy and any medial column work, and then switch to a lateral decubitus position. Placing a sterile sleeve over the operative leg and re-draping and prepping when going lateral is recommended.
The incisional approach depends on whether you need to perform any procedures at the lateral calcaneus. Utilize a two-incision approach if a lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy is needed. Place one incision as you normally would for the osteotomy. Place the other incision along the anterior aspect of the lateral malleolus, curving distally and inferior to the tip of the lateral malleolus. With a ligament reconstruction only, a single "J" incision approach starting along the lateral malleolus and extending medially allows for good exposure.
Take care to retract the superficial peroneal nerve branches. Use a #15 blade to perform sharp dissection to release both the ATF and CF ligament off the tip of the lateral malleolus. Try to preserve their attachment to the talus and calcaneus to help with proper placement of the graft. At this point, you should have adequate exposure to the lateral aspect of the body-neck junction of the talus, the distal portion of the lateral malleolus and the lateral wall of the calcaneus just inferior and posterior to the critical angle of Gissane.
During dissection, the allograft should be thawing on the back table. Peroneus longus allograft works well. The graft length is between 19 and 22 cm. This will provide enough for two grafts if necessary. Cut the graft into two 10-cm pieces. The reconstruction begins at the tip of the lateral malleolus. Position one end of the graft into the tip of the lateral malleolus and secure it with a bio-tenodesis screw. Start just anterior to the tip of the malleolus and orient the tunnel slightly posterior as you advance the tunnel superiorly.
There are two key points here. First, take care to avoid using too large of a screw and splitting the lateral malleolus. A 6- or 7-mm diameter screw works well. Second, do not aim too horizontal to exit the posterior aspect of the malleolus. The tunnel is primarily a superior direction.
Once the proximal portion of the reconstruction is stable, start on the two distal attachments. At this point, fluoroscan is recommended on the patient's original ligaments to help identify the proper location for the insertion of the allograft. Split the allograft longitudinally so it has a "Y" shape as it exits the tip of the lateral malleolus. Position the foot in a dorsiflexed and everted position. Create a tunnel under the peroneal tendons and pass the posterior arm of the allograft under the tendons.
With the foot everted, secure the allograft into the calcaneus with a bio-tenodesis screw oriented lateral to medial. This is typically a 5- or 6-mm screw. While maintaining the foot position, insert the anterior arm of the allograft into the talus from lateral to medial. The length of the screw into the calcaneus is 20 to 25 mm and the length of the screw into the talus is 10 to 15 mm.
Avoid making the allograft too long. If the allograft is too long, it will "bunch" up in the osseous tunnel and the surgeon will not be able to tension this properly with the bio-tenodesis screw. As the surgeon tightens the screw, the allograft should be tight. If it is not tensioning as one tightens the screw, remove the screw and trim some of the graft so it is shorter.
Check the reconstruction by lifting the leg off the table. The heel should stay in a neutral position. My personal philosophy with this repair is better too tight than too loose. Perform layered closure with the capsule. Place the leg in a splint with slight eversion and dorsiflexion.
Place the patient in a non-weightbearing compression splint for two weeks. The position of the splint is everted and dorsiflexed. The patient then wears a walking cast for two weeks. Then advance the patient to a walking boot for four weeks. I also recommend a night splint during this period of time. Patients can start range of motion exercises. At eight weeks post-op, the patient can wear a shoe with an ankle brace when walking outside.
Physical therapy can also start at this time. The physical therapist must be aware of the extent of the surgery and not treat this like a typical ankle sprain. Return to sports takes about four months on average. I recommend the use of an ankle brace with return to sports for at least six to nine months.

Chicago Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith had a disciplinary hearing with the NHL for his high stick to the face of Los Angeles Kings forward Jeff Carter during Game 3 of the Western Conference final.
Keith clipped Carter during an exchange well behind the play in the second period. After Carter took a short hack at Keith's hand while the defenceman bent down to pick up his glove, Keith responded by skating behind Carter and hitting him in the face with a one-handed swing of his stick, dropping Carter to the ice.
"Yeah, it was accidental," Keith said after the game. "Obviously, I wanted to give him a tap, but not where I got him. I felt bad. I'm glad to see that he came back. It was just a scuffle. It was an accident."
The injury forced Carter, who wears a visor, to miss the Kings' ensuing four-minute power play, which went nowhere. Carter, who scored two goals in the Kings' Stanley Cup-clinching victory over New Jersey last year, has six goals in this post-season, sharing the Kings lead with Justin Williams.
It appeared that Keith attempted to apologize to Carter on the ice after Carter returned to the game.
Kings' coach Darryl Sutter thought Keith got off easily with a double minor after opening a gash on Carter's face during the Blackhawks' 3-1 loss.
"I didn't think it was a four-minute penalty," Sutter said. "Thought it was a wrong call. ... That's three head injuries now in the playoffs for us. I don't know how to answer it. It's retaliation with a stick. It's not a high stick. Whatever they want to call it, they'll call it. Don't even need video."
The Kings lost centre Jarret Stoll for six games in the second round with an apparent concussion from an illegal hit by San Jose's Raffi Torres. Stoll returned for the conference finals, but the Kings then lost leading scorer Mike Richards for the past two games after a big hit late in Game 1 from Chicago's Dave Bolland.
Carter led the Western Conference with 26 goals during the regular season. His midseason arrival from Columbus last year was a factor in the Kings' improbable surge to their first Stanley Cup title.

Not only was the speed amazing, but the quality of the cards was great, and the colour and images matched those on my preview exactly. I'll definitely be getting my birth announcements from Tiny Prints!"
"I ran out of my other personalized thank you notes and ended up ordering these in their place. If I would have known how great these cards were, I would have ordered them originally. The colors are so vivid and the quality of the paper is excellent. I especially like the polka dots on the back. Well done Tiny Prints!"
"Just as the warning says, this does not have glitter at all. It DOES on the other hand resemble a flat glitter-likeness, so I'm happy!"
"This card is really beautiful! I can't say enough! the two tone green is a fantastic effect, the stars and moon are just enough to be elegant not overdone. The writing I choose (Baltic) is so pretty!! nice quality paper as well! I had these cards made for my personal on line art business (just started) and I am using this as my business cards as well!

I have ordered bully sticks from other companies in the past. I like Value Pet Supplies' the best. Other companies sent some good ones, but a lot of the sticks they sent were hollow, deformed, and not as uniform as I like them. Value Pet Supplies have the most uniform and compact sticks and I will order from them again. These sticks are perfect. (Posted on 8/21/13)
- Not consistent size Review by Tater's mom

The sticks did have some smell when I first opened the bag but they didn't stink up the room when my dog chewed on them. So I guess they are odor free. My bigger complaint is that the thickness of each stick varies wildly. There are a few in the bag I might as well throw away since they are as thin as toothpicks. (Posted on 7/29/13)

Top 5 Destinations For Josh Hamilton
Top 5 Teams That Could Land Josh Hamilton
Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton will become the No. 1 sought after free agent during the winter meetings later this year. Hamilton is going to have a huge impact no matter what team he plays for, but I am sure if someone were to ask him, he would say he wants to play for a contender.
The Rangers do not seem eager to sign Hamilton to an expensive long-term contract, which means it is very likely he will not be playing in Arlington in 2013. A source inside Texas' organization had this to say when asked about Hamilton's return to the team: "Not even if he wants to play here for free next season."
Hamilton started 2012 on fire as he hit home runs at a rapid pace. Obviously, he slowed down towards the end of the season, and did not appear to be as much of a factor in the last week. This is why many believe the Rangers will not re-sign the slugger and allow him to test free agency.
Hamilton finished the season with a .285 batting average, 43 home runs, 128 RBIs, 31 doubles, 103 runs, 162 strikeouts, and a .577 slugging percentage in 562 plate appearances. For the most part, these numbers are the best of his career (with a few exceptions). However, the 162 strikeouts certainly has to be alarming for whichever team signs him. Not to mention, the fact he is 31 years old will be a factor. The following slides are the top five teams – not including the Rangers – that could sign Hamilton this off-season.
Michael is a MLB and NBA Featured Writer for Rant Sports, but covers topics for various teams in baseball, basketball, and football. Make sure to follow Michael on Twitter @MichaelTerrill and on Facebook.
#5 Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs definitely have the money to sign Hamilton to a long-term deal, but general manager Theo Epstein has already made it clear the team is all about rebuilding. This means there is no room for using a big chunk of the salary cap on one player, no matter how good that player might be. However, I still would not rule them out.
#4 Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers will have money to sign Hamilton, but only if he is willing to take a little bit of a pay cut. Hamilton would enjoy Milwaukee because his two best friends are currently the Brewers' bench and hitting coaches. Jerry Narron and Johnny Narron were neighbors of Hamilton when he was a teenager, and remained close with him ever since. In fact, Hamilton calls Johnny after every game to discuss how he played. Adding Hamilton to Milwaukee's powerful offense would certainly make the team a contender in 2013.
#3 Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves have deep pockets, and will do whatever it takes to win the division in 2013 so they can avoid the single-elimination Wild Card game. I expect the Braves to be big players in free agency this season, and nothing would be bigger than to sign the No. 1 free agent. However, I am not sure if Atlanta is willing to spend that much money on one player as they are looking to add a veteran pitcher or two.
#2 New York Yankees
The New York Yankees are always players when it comes to the big-time free agents. Although they did not make a splash going after the big names last year, they might make a run at Hamilton only to solidify their spot atop the AL East for years to come. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has stated the team is getting away from the huge contracts, but something tells me he would make an exception to get Hamilton at the right price.
#1 Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox is the team I believe will land Hamilton in 2013. Boston has cleared plenty of cap space to sign Hamilton after trading several players away during the trade deadline. Even though the team is wary of signing players to long-term deals after their recent busts, Hamilton could certainly be the exception to the rule. He has consistently put up big numbers over the past few years and does not have the look of a player who is about to slow down.
