Measuring for your furniture delivery
Prior to placing your order, it is important that you consider where the items will be placed, and any potential delivery obstacles. It is important that your furniture be able to be delivered through all entryways, elevators and up or down any stairways. Measure the height and width of your entryways, including staircases, hallways, elevator doors and interiors. Make note of any fixtures, decorative moldings, and interior walls, ceiling heights, stairwells and banisters that may be obstacles once items are inside. Consider the furniture to be delivered and determine if it can go straight through entryways or if it will have to go in at an angle or on end.
Room measurement
Before purchasing products; be sure to consider windows, closets, heating vents and electrical outlets within the room. We strongly recommend using our room planner to plot your furniture placement. Be sure to include all items you plan to purchase, and include smaller items such as accent tables, benches, and ottomans as they have a space impact in any room.
Measure your electronics and components
Measure your television and other components that you would like to place inside of your furniture. You should measure your television, or the television you intend to purchase, before you purchase the furniture you plan to house it in or on and have the outside dimensions available in width, depth, and height. This is very important as, for example a 48" (122 cm) television may be more than 48" (122 cm) wide overall.

Jordan may become that man but I would prefer that the Clippers started a little more versatile big man who can rebound and defend (Jordan still has a way to go when it comes to his overall defense) as well as shoot a bit to keep defenders honest.
Kaman has too many holes in his game.
I also think that his basketball IQ is lower than you would want out of starting center for a playoff team. Just my opinion on this last point having watched him play and listened to some of his interviews over the last seven plus seasons.
name a center better than kaman that you could trade for.
I think I'd rather have Brendan Haywood.
that's the problem - you'd rather have brendan haywood during kaman's slump, but once kaman's out of that slump, he's almost untouchable.
what's going on with kaman? does he have a secret injury or what? he sucks!
that's the problem - you'd rather have brendan haywood during kaman's slump, but once kaman's out of that slump, he's almost untouchable.
but WILL he get out of his slump?
Hmmm... all of these complaints about Kaman are curiously the exact same ones that have always been loudly voiced here on the forum, the difference being that his normally dependable shot hasn't gone in this year, thus lending a bit more vehemence to the rhetoric. There is the possibility that CK is just in a slump as well as getting used to a new system and new personnel. No more, no less. This hyper reaction to a relatively small sampling is interesting. Along with being our most dependable scorer Kaman had plenty of 12 for 17 type games last year... one wonders what the forum reaction will be when and if that happens. Don't get me wrong, I'm frustrated by his play at times too, but as long as he's giving an honest effort (which he does, and has) I'm willing to expect that his shots will eventually start to fall. Logic, and past performance says that it will happen.
Amen Taylor! Seriously Kaman is Kaman and he has been the workhorse for so long with absolutely no help. Chris logs a lot of minutes ALL SEASON which is tough to do.Del Negro will improve his game so watch for it. Gomes is worthless! Besides Blake Kaman is alone and Smith is the ticket.Hey the Clips stuck with Denver until late in the 3rd. The refs were awful and as far as I'm concerned the play was even. **** Carmelo!
I should have reiterated. Kaman sucks as of right now. How can you biff on a put back when no one's around you? How can you take that many shots, continue to take that many shots before it finally hits you in the face that you aren't doing well at all?
I love my team but good god. We wonder why nobody wants to play here, or why people leave. Probably seeing what we've seen so far is part of the issue.
Kaman just needs to learn how to co-exist with Griffin - it'll just take some time, but they'll get there. Kaman and Griffin have the ability to be one of the top PF/C combo in the L.
If you are at the game give some applause, No boos please
i didnt watch the game....but i saw Blake had like double digit points in the 1st half....then i am watching stats from double OT and i see almost the same numbers?
whats wrong here?
do they not get him touches?
fouled out
basically no touches in the 3rd and 4th quarters, and he got fouled out in the middle of the 4th.
I think if Blake was in the game we would have won.
do they not get him touches?
basically no touches in the 3rd and 4th quarters, and he got fouled out in the middle of the 4th.
please dont tell me they went down low to Kaman instead
judging by the many texts i got from none Clipper fans that have gotten into em recently cause of Blake..."Chris Kaman sucks"
"who is this chris kaman guy, he really sucks"
"why does that chris kaman guy mess up at the most important moments"
"why does that chris kaman guy mess up at the most important moments"
yeah, they were feeding kaman in the crunch moments of the game, and in OT. and he screwed up like I've never seen before(actually, I HAVE seen it before, many many times, sadly...)
Why, must we go to Chris Kaman when its close ...its really frustrating. I understand that they probably do it because his size causes alot problems up front for some teams but cmon now....Chris Kaman is the Kwame Brown of the Clippers and its becoming disgraceful.
Down the stretch I would rather blake griffin or eric gordon to have the ball KEEP IT AWAY FROM KAMAN
im surprised vinny has not noticed that Kaman is horrible under pressure...ive seen it all...he tries to back down and he loses the ball, he tries to dribble the ball he loses it or dribbles off his foot, he cant pass out of a double team (for how long now?) I mean really at some point you just gotta say Damn we need to give this guy to another team and see if they can fix him....
Deandre is not lightyears ahead of Kaman but atleast deandre finishes around the hoop.....
I like this thread and is perfect for how i feel right now.
I am tired of looking forward to a game just to have the Clippers lose. I hate Chris Kaman. Everytime the ball is in his hands or goes anywhere near him I cringe. I am tired of us (prior to these last two games) NEVER Having leads, NEVER GETTING DOUBLE DIGITS leads, staying within 2 or 3 points almost seemingly like catching up was an impossible feat....i hate that teams never suck against us, its like they play their hardest cause its the Clippers and no one wants to lose to us.
i am tired of bums (nobodies) that shoot lights out against us (happened against the spurs and some other game i forgot) i hate the 2nd half collapses. its like the coaches just tell the other teams "ok its the clippers go at em" n thats it its over. i hate that teams NEVER miss against us and SINCE we never f***** score we always go down
when other teams miss we other dont get the rebound,and the team gets it back and gets like a million tries until they finally score
when other teams DO miss we dont score on the other end
have we ever scored 3 times in a row in the last decade? its like every night (even when we play sorry teams) we are playing a defensive powerhouse that just makes it impossible to score on
i hate that baron davis bricks everything
i hate that rasual butler doesnt start over Gomes
Gomes sucks and he sucks so much that when he doesnt completely suck (the standards are set so low) people say he has an ok game
why doesnt rasual get minutes? he shoots a high percentage he finishes he is an overall better player
i love what Craig Smith brings to the table why doesnt he get more minutes?
he is undersized but he always finishes, i mean in the paint has he ever missed a layup? he gets the ball and even though he is undersized he has the strength to get to the hoop and will the ball through WHY DOESNT ANYONE NOTICE THIS?
he never fucks up, he always plays great, he rebounds, he hussles, he is a scorer that even last season would score when we would have those pathetic stretches where we couldnt buy a bucket
we are 1-6, why not use Willie Warren and give him some burn instead of burning out EG at the point? hes been great but we are losing why not give him some rest here n there n actually use a real PG?
why do the clippers throw the ball downlow to kaman like if he is Kareem? why not do this every single time down with Blake atleast?
they double him and he can actually pass, but god forbid he passes to Kaman cause kaman is always under the hoop, dribbles 3 times and just misses horribly or gets the shot blocked....
i think thats it for now...hahahahahahhahahah
but i think ima be using this thread alot during the season
so many of these things are so repetitive and THEY ALWAYS happen so you guys can cite my rant whenever you want to rant on the same matter.....
oh a couple more things about Kaman
why do we run that play for him where he gets a wide open look a little behind the FT line ...he misses more often than he makes it, and that takes him out of the paint thus giving us one less rebounder why?
why is it every single time when we are close, we go to Kaman and he completely kills everything for us
or when we have leads, his misses shots or stupid mistakes lead to points on the other end?
when its close, going to him consecutive times in a row usually means fucks up or misses and when that happens its like "there goes the game"
because they wont to kaman so many times
^^^Thank you for posting in the right thread instead of starting a single rant thread.
Dump Baron and go with a young starting lineup. What do we have to lose? Team stinks with Baron on the floor anyway.
Butler should be our starter, Gomes is scared to shoot even when he's wide open. Butler has a scorers mentality, he forgets about the misses and has confidence to keep shooting. You wont make a 3 if you dont shoot them.
Give Aminu the starting spot for 5 games see how he does. I predict like Bledsoe he will make a lot of mistakes but will surprise the hell out of everyone because he will be a big upgrade over Gomes. His defense alone makes him starter worthy as well as his rebounding. Let's try it we have nothing to lose right now. LET'S GIVE THE CITY OF LA SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT!!!!!
Another thing, I've been disappointed in kaman play too although he played well last night, but I have a feeling when Baron gets back he'll have a break out game and well see the Kaman from last year.
Kaman has horrible hands thats his problem. Absolutely no touch in the low post. Jumper is ok. He needs to sleep with the basketball! Smith was the one who missed EASY buckets down low in the 2nd OT not Kaman! I've said it before LAST NIGHTS GAME WAS EPIC! What is wrong with you people!!!!! No the Clips didn't win But they are earning respect in the west and learning how to play with FIRE and finish games. The wins will come trust me..
No Prob. I hope I dont have to visit this thread much in the next couple days atleast
I am getting tired of teams trying to punk Blake around cause they know he is so explosive. Its one thing to play him tough because he is a rookie but **** its becoming a trend now to foul with him nasty dirty fouls and its f***** sickening. It got me pissed that the Blazers committed them on a number of times tonight and NOTHING. THe marcus camby swat should have been a f***** flagrant cause he just hit him in the head.
This **** is getting disgraceful really. I hate how "oh well thats part of being the home team" **** THAT. Why cant they just call the game even? Or "well he is a rookie he is not going to get calls" **** THAT too. Its getting really annoying man that teams clobber him and the refs are just letting it go. T
(haha i was going to post this in a game thread but i just cut it and pasted it here haha)
well they did call a flagrant 1 on camby when he whacked blake in the head, TWICE. but i agree with you. blake has got to retaliate. maybe not flagrants but he has to get some hits in there when the refs aren't looking. he's a different kind of passionate where all he cares about is his team and his game and doesn't want to get a technical or hurt the team's chances in any way so he holds things back. i just want to see him get fired up and in someone's face when he get's a dirty shot directed at him. i think craig smith has sparked that sense of fire with the clippers and things will be different moving forward. or at least that's what i'm hoping.
How are the Clippers such a bad 3 point defending team? It's so frustrating to watch them give up so many uncontested 3 pointers. How hard hard is it to not leave your man. Hand down, man down.
Why dont they post up griffin ?? Vinny always has him doing pick n
Roll.... Why not post him. Where he is more effective
why dont we show up every game with focus and intensity from the start? not until we are down 9 to start the 4th quarter against lowly teams such as the cavs, the nets etc.
I think CP3 and other guys think were going to blow people outta the water, then when it becomes clear we aren't loaded with All-Stars people start showing up at the end of the game.
Yup. It started with complacency. Now we've dug a hole for ourselves by giving teams hope that shouldn't have any, and giving ourselves doubts which didn't exist a few weeks ago.
^^^exactly, we came out on FIRREEEE this season and bought into our own hype, and now look at us. We lost to the fuckin Nets. Not just the nets, we shouldn't be losing to the Twolves, we shouldn't have come that close to losing to Houston (which we would've lost if Martin had hit that UNCONTESTED 3). We need to step it up. I seriously hope we get rid of Martin and Evans before the trade deadline.
Name an elite player who you wouldn't feel comfortable with having the ball in his hands during the last play.
If you named someone who's a defensive stud, that's acceptable.
Too bad Blake's not a defensive stud.
while i agree that we shouldnt lose to the nets and the twolves, martin and evans have done more than gomes and cook by a monster margin. so suggesting we get rid of martin and reggie before cook and gomes is an incredulous suggestion.
I don't even think about Cook and Gomes because they do nothing but sit on the bench. We've lost games due to Martin's T's. Evans loves to turn the ball over if he's not rebounding. Obviously they've done more than Cook and Gomes, but just because they done more for us, doesn't mean they're doing much in the plus column. I was one of Evan's biggest supporters at the beginning of the season. That dude grabs EVERY rebound, but whats the point if as soon as you get passed the ball you freeze up? Last night Martin passed him the ball, he was RIGHT UNDER THE HOOP, and he froze up, and turned the ball over. That's ridiculous.
^^Good points- welcome to Clippers Topbuzz!
With Vinny coaching and 3 mostly worthless starters I feel like I get deja vu every single game. Since Chauncey went down I haven't seen a single game where Clippers won a game from start to finish. It's painful and predictable. Do any of you feel the same?
all these games bring me is stress, followed by disappointment and grey hair
Oh, you'll keep watching. I guarantee it.
Start of slow and pathetic to get down big. Make a huge run only to lose in crunch time. Happens almost every game lately.
Even when we had chauncey, it was clear we were only winning those games because our best coach was on the court. There has not been one game this year where we have won the game not because of our ridiculous athleticism or a hot streak of 3s, but because of well coached set plays or any definable strategy. I think I would have rather not even had the surge in the clips organization, as now its so much harder to watch us stagger back down the mountain.
I feel ya. The front office should've done something to acquire a player yet they did nothing!!!!! The only move they made was increase ticket prices for next season. If they don't hire a competent coach plus sign better players to help Paul and Griffin for next season, I'm going to discourage all my friends from going to Clipper games. This situation would just feel like McCourt and the Dodgers.
Nope!! I love my clippers no matter what
It's a painful addiction.
The trade for CP3 is quickly turning out to be an utter waste of time. We have failed to improve one iota from last year outside of the brief stretch of time when Chauncey was playing.
Me too. I'd rather us have been 8th seed all season than plummet fro
2nd to 6th in such pathetic fashion.
There's still 3 days left.
Everyone's waiting on Dwight to see how everything shakes out.

That would be a quick hire hope Lue sticks with us.
Young, first-time head coach? Perfect scapegoat for Jackass when New Yorkers start to wonder why the wizard isn't delivering the goods.
Steer clear, Ty... you'll get your own team soon enough.
Anybody see Woj's new article. In it, it says that "Mark Jackson has tried and failed to get involved with several head coaching openings over the past several months, including the Los Angeles Clippers"
Hahaha what a loser. I hope GS doesn't extend him and he's out of a head coaching job for life.
nope, let GSW keep him. Let him keep degrading that team. I'd rather not have GS acquire a quality coach. haha.

Man vs. Snake: Hunt yields nearly 17-foot find
Burmese python caught in Everglades
Published 9:50 AM CST Nov 27, 2012
Two South Florida hunters have made quite the catch.
Armed with a helmet camera and a full tank of courage, the two men came across a monster snake in the Everglades.
The female Burmese python was found on a canal bank, and checked in at 16 feet, eight inches long. It weighed almost 130 pounds.
The snake wasn't going to go without putting up a fight.
"I grabbed it by the tail," one of the hunters said. "I couldn't hold it and it kept on pulling and pulling and pulling into its borough."
The everglades is home to tens of thousands of Burmese pythons.
Wildlife officials said such snakes are typically six to 10 feet long.

P.J tuckers blow to blake griffin has gotten me so mad. Even on First take they agree.
Now that Blakes mentally strong, they can't stop him.
But, am i the only one who thinks somebody is going to take it to far, and actually hurt him?
Notice how it is always the scrubs? There is no way to stop Blake so teams tend to resort to trying to take him out of the game in a very cheap manner. Flashback: Christmas day game vs. GS. Can't wait to play those suckers again tomorrow, hope Blake goes off!
The last few seasons it was flagrants on fast-breaks (See Jason Smith bodycheck) and cowardly low blows (see Ibaka), but this season has mainly become a few scuffles for Blake when he retaliates to any extent, and a lot of otherwise unnoticed cheap shots. I feel sorry for Blake, not because he can't handle it physically, but because he gets so frustrated by the fact that he's playing his game, a Faried-level intensity, high skill, high power game, and the only way to combat it is to keep cheap shotting him. There was a post a few months ago about how he gets into players heads; he does this on a night out night in basis. I think last night was a good example of him digging so deep under PJ Tuckers skin that the retailiation was a violent outburst with intent to harm. The concern I have is not the effect of one player on Blake -- he can handle the physical punishment with no injury save for a few bruises, but rather, the long term effect of so many players pulling the same **** every godamn game. You guys saw last night; Blake was absolutely furious as soon as he took the hit, and had DJ not been there, PJ Tucker wouldn't have been able to walk into the locker room. The problem I see is that too many players can pull these cheap shots and low blows and get away with a slap on the wrist -- one game suspension for punching a player? Hit Durant in the face and you'll be gone for a week. The solution should originate from the League itself. They have to draw the line and start punishing these players with more than just a 'game suspension'.
They want to do something dumb like what Tucker did, they'll have to pay. Tucker was just suspended by the NBA for one game without pay- that's gotta hurt. Glad that Blake was able to control himself and not get himself thrown out or suspended.

Suns' Tucker suspended for throwing elbow
Official release
Posted Mar 11, 2014 7:02 PM
NEW YORK -- Phoenix Suns forward P.J. Tucker has been suspended one game without pay for elbowing Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin in the chin, it was announced Tuesday by Rod Thorn, President, Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 5:28 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' 112-105 win over the Suns on Monday, March 10, at Staples Center.
Tucker will serve his suspension on Wednesday, March 12, when the Suns host the Cleveland Cavaliers at US Airways Center.
I don't have a source, but I think Griffin is the most fouled player. I think other players are a tad jealous
The league is coming around gradually. Blake is shooting more FT's this year and has had quite a few of his own techs rescinded after the league office realized he was being baited.
Everybody ups the intensity in the post-season and the refs usually let more go, but I have a feeling that what Blake is subjected to on a nightly basis is about the limit of what will be allowed.
He'll be more ready for hard, playoff ball than anybody else in the league.
Well we know he's committing the most fouls, lol.
http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/playe ... sort/fouls
^ Not even top-25 in PF/48, though.
A game suspension really isn't anything to an NBA player.
No different than anybody else calling out "Sick" for
a day. He won't even feel it.
This is why I continue to say we need enforces. This doesn't
happen to Lebron James. Why not? Everyone knows
Haslem is going to **** someone up plain and simple.
Blake gets elbowed, punches, flagrant fouled to the degree
it could cause serious injury, and no one steps up to protect him.
Blake shouldn't be reacting because he is too valuable. That's what
the role players are for.
Don't think anybody's trying to hurt him. But if you think about it, it really is the best way to stop Blake... I blame the idiotic refs who 99% of the time, will call fouls on both players for getting tangled even when only 1 player initiated it.
If I was the opponent, I won't even hesitate to let a scrub on my team get ejected and give up 1 free throw just in order to piss off Blake, or even better get him a tech.
I think teams will keep doing this to Blake (especially in playoffs) until the NBA comes up with a harsher punishment for the instigator. Maybe something like a flagrant 2.
Due to stupid refs who always call soft fouls on him and eject him when other players initiate contact on him....
Lol Lebron gets whacked all the time. Probably the 2nd most whacked player in the nba after Griffin.
PJ Tucker? nobody knows him, that's why he want to be a talk of the town by committing a stupid move.
Just happened to listen to the Timberwolves announcers and they certainly feel that Blake was to blame for the incident. They said what Tucker did was wrong, but said they saw it as some sort of tackle. haha.
Blake is my favorite current player and I am actually shocked he hasn't blown up yet,but the time will come. The punishment he gets constantly is mind boggling. When that day comes, I hope he takes it out on someone deserving as we know it will cost him a big hefty fine and days off,so make it count 32. there is no way he will go on forever without hitting his limit (Probably when his KIA commercials are done) and going nuts..
A tackle? Seriously? Tucker stepped right where Blake's foot was about to plant, Griffin lost his balance, then Tucker hit him and Blake's to blame?
All refs are stupid, worthless, incompetent and picking on poor Blake...sounds reasonable.
We should have Hollins instigate a fight with Curry to get him thrown out of the game.
Of course they think Blake's to blame... what was he even doing banging down low? A power-forward's job is to camp out behind the arc in Minnesota.
HAHAHA, well said. PFs aren't supposed to be physical, are they?
Golden State is about to witness the truth! Clippers barrage coming...
We need some enforcers. What is Metta up to?
Hollins doesn't have the balls, he is even afraid of Doc scream, what more of making a move to send him to shower room, we need a scrub player to choke the likes of Cousins, Randolph and Tucker. The likes of World Peace.
Scum, PJ F_cker
Blake can only be his own enforcer, however that is never going to happen. On-going issue same none-physcial reaction every time, just Blake's demeanor.
He already leads the league in personal fouls and is 2nd in techs. Instigating stuff isn't very smart unless you want him suspended or ejected.
The only non scrub that has tangled with Blake is ZBo. Yet, he said he does it out of respect.
Cousins, is not a scrub but he is not all there at times.
Bogut, PJ, Damond Green, guys like that try to get in Blakes head when teams can not stop him.
The league has to look into this. It needs to happen before Blake unleashes all his frustration on a poor soul.
I understand Blakes' point of view. He does not want to leave the team shorthanded in what could be a big game.
Your best answer to this kinda bull is to answer with games like last night Vs Phoenix.
Yes retaliating would end the cheap shots, but as stated by others Blake can't afford to do it because of his sponsorships.
Beginning of next season Blake needs to take a few suspensions .... The cheap shots will lessen
Dude defending yourself after getting elbowed in the throat and punched
in the face isn't "instigating". What are you talking about?
Like I said we need an Enforcer. The way it works is simple. PJ Tucker
punches blake. Dragic gets flagrant fouled next time he goes to the lane.
You attack our best player we take out yours. Psychological warfare.
After a few times it will stop happening all together.
Him retaliating would do nothing but hurt the team and it wouldn't stop the cheap shots. It would only let those players know he can be "had". Getting to the FT line more then any other player and making them at a high rate is the best retaliation for him and the team.
And use some other player(s) to do the retaliating, as some others have mentioned, is the best way to go if that kind of stuff deems necessary.
Blake should just ignore those cheap shooters, unless it's the superstar of the opposing team but if just a useless player like tucker, there's no need to fight back. these is one of there job to hit him until he fight back and get ejected. If this kind of player ejected from the game or get a suspension, it won't hurt the team.
The guys hitting BG aren't mere mortals. They are huge men well over 200 lb of pure muscle. Zbp, Bougt and Cousins are closer to 250. They are bigger that the world heavyweight champ who ever that is. When they hit you you stay hit for a long time. Big Baby needs a suspension. Maybe 10 years ago Robt Horry usually a good guy closelined Nash and almost knocked him into the stands. I'm sure a guy as small as Nash wasn't causing the problem. I'm sure someone was cheap shotting one of their players and I'm sure that Phx got the message. Clobber BG we clobber Dragic. A football player once said that there is a difference between hurting someone and injuring them. Attempts at injuring can't be tolerated.
Did Blake take out Curry?
I was against Blake learning dirty tricks from Karl Malone, but maybe he should learn that knee to the chest move.
Now Oneal finds Blake in the hallways and it gets heated.
People have too much of an issue with Blake
I always love it when a has-been or a never-was talks trash. You want to talk trash, be Bird, MJ, Kobe, Gary Payton, etc. Not a guy who is lucky he has a job in the NBA.
And there should be serious fines for baiting. Otherwise you will get bench jockeys taunting BG to get him out of the game. This could really suck come playoff time.
The NBA should look into this. Griffin is a big NBA superstar and the League has to protect its assets.
wow! jermaine o'neal waited for blake to come out of the locker room to start up some s***.
If Jermaine pulled that on Kevin Durant, automatic suspension.
Are you talking about O'neal? I would go easy there. O'neal in his prime was every bit as god as Blake Griffin, especially defensively. Griffin is not MJ, Kobe, Payton, either. And O'neal is not lucky to have a job in the NBA. He's a 17 year veteran, show some respect. I mean get real. Griffin is a very good player, but by no means a Kevin Durant type superstar.
Blake was so bad last night he only had as many OREB as the entire GS team,guess he needs to step it up. I find it incredible how anyone that doesn't have Blake on their team talks about how average he is. Jealous but won't admit it. Well guess what,we will gladly keep him, especially over 17 year "vets" who play like 17 year vets (if you can't beat 'em,cheat, send your sacrificial guys in to hurt him, and when you lose threaten him, eh O'Neal?).
it's all them KIA commercials, all teams have to endure watching Blake's face... PSH! Mind games on the court, screw that, Blake playing mind games with players every night with KIA ads. lol. check... mate.
O'neal in his prime as good as blake: Lie detector test determines... That's a lie
Blake is not a Kevin Durant type superstar: Lie detector test determines... That's a lie
Jermaine O'neals peak was 2 20-10 seasons. After than he couldn't even
stay healthy enough to play much more than half a season.
His first 5 years in the league were non existent. Comparing him to Blake is
Laughable. Although I really liked Oneal in his prime.
Durant really isn't much better than Blake IMO if you take into account Position.
Durant is a SF so his skillset will be different. Such as pull-up 3's. But if you take into
account position Durant and Lebron are as far ahead of Blake as people make it.
Most of all Blake is being considered the 3rd best player in the league by many
sports analysts.
Oneal in his prime was never considered top 10 if we are honest.
O'Neal as good as Blake lmfao. Blake has just joined Charles Barkley and Kareem Abdul Jabbar as the only players to reach 6,000 points, 3,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists at this early in their career, so no O'Neal is not as good as Blake. Check your facts, and BTW I'm glad many GSW fans were there to witness him achieve that goal
Don't forget shooting at least 50% on top of that.
I'm actually shocked Tim Duncan isn't on that list, he had all the skills to reach that mark immediately when he came into the league.
Very true. When you reach a milestone that even Tim Duncan hasn't obtained that definitely makes you better than Jermaine O'Neal.
Getting back to my favorite player Guess Who? He was beaten up so bad in his first year that he almost quit, He had his nose broken several times. He was a gentle man who knew his own strength and was actually afraid of hurting players. He finally won respect with his playing .He never hit back. There were times when all five players were guarding him. I have a feeling that BG instigates a bit. Lawler said something like "Blake is nicer to the refs this year and he's even nice to us" It was not tongue in cheek

A succession of problems has plagued Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, but investigators are now most concerned about incidents involving overheating of lithium-ion batteries.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials grounded Boeing's high-tech Dreamliner after battery electrolytes reportedly leaked from a lithium-ion battery onboard an All Nippon Airways flight on Wednesday. The liquid reportedly traveled through an electrical room floor to the outside of the aircraft, leaving burn marks around damaged areas.
The latest incident followed on the heels of two battery-related problems encountered on Japan Airlines flights and another on a United flight earlier this month. Those incidents happened in parallel with multiple other episodes, including two fuel leaks. Since July, the 787 has also encountered a damaged cockpit window, an oil leak, and two cracked engines, according to multiple news reports.
Aviation experts said most of the problems are unrelated. "I tend not to believe that there's a single root cause behind all of this," David Freiwald, an assistant professor of aerospace at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, told Design News. "Any new system has teething or growing pains. A few issues are to be expected."
The incidents did motivate aviation authorities around the world to order stoppage of Boeing 787 flights, however. The FAA also announced it will work with Boeing engineers to conduct a comprehensive review of the 787's design and manufacture, with an emphasis on the aircraft's electrical power and distribution systems.
On its website, Boeing emphasized the safety of its new aircraft, releasing a statement saying, "The airplane has logged 50,000 hours of flight and there are more than 150 flights occurring daily. Its service is on par with the industry's best-ever introduction into service -- the Boeing 777. Like the 777, at 15 months of service, we are seeing the 787's fleet wide dispatch reliability well above 90 percent."
Most of the concern around the 787 involves the use of lithium-ion batteries. The 787 is the first commercial aircraft to employ them. Its electrical architecture also operates at a higher voltages than predecessors, experts told us. "In terms of the ancillary systems, almost everything on the 787 is electrical," Freiwald said. "Most aircraft systems operate at 115V AC, whereas this is a 230V system. It's a pretty substantial amount of power and current."
Freiwald added that the lithium-ion batteries are used for auxiliary power back-up. In the past, he said, commercial airliners have typically used nickel-cadmium chemistries.
Battery experts told Design News that the choice of a lithium-ion chemistry shouldn't be a problem, but it does call for tighter control. "Lithium-ion is a pretty energetic material," Eric Dietz, a professor of computer and information science at Purdue University, told us. "You've got oxidation and reduction reactions happening in close proximity to one another, so it's important to maintain engineering control around the battery."

The Crystal Castle Discovery Room offers an exciting program of activities for young and old throughout the holidays and every weekend.
One of the most popular events this summer has been candle making with local artist Anca from Happy Flame Candles. Anca will guide you through the process of making your very own beeswax candle using traditional candle-making methods. The calming, subtle honey aroma and the negative ions emitted when a beeswax candle burns make for a gorgeous environment. The soft, yellow flame is also "particularly flattering" reported one of our happy participants. And as you make your candle you'll discover more fascinating information about bees and special properties of their wax.
Another popular experience is Janey's art demonstration in which she uses gum leaves collected in the castle grounds to create unique and rather magical artworks. Or you might like to discover the mysteries and magic of the Labyrinth with Rothy who will connect you with the powerful energies of these ancient pathways and guide you in creating your own three-circuit version to take home with you.

WASHINGTON � U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator from Colorado, announced Wednesday he will step down from his Cabinet position by the end of March to return to the Centennial State.
Salazar was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but moved to President Obama�s Cabinet in 2009 before finishing his term. After eight years in Washington, D.C., Salazar said in a statement that he is looking forward to returning to his family in Colorado.
�I am forever grateful to President Obama for his friendship in the U.S. Senate and the opportunity he gave me to serve as a member of his cabinet during this historic presidency,� he said in the release.
Born in Alamosa and known for his bolo ties, cowboy hat and boots, the fifth-generation Coloradan and rancher inherited a department that was fraught with scandal, allegations of incompetence and ethical lapses, The Associated Press reported upon Salazar�s unanimous confirmation.
An inspector general�s report at the time said: �Short of a crime, anything goes at the highest levels of the Department of the Interior,� according to the AP.
But during his tenure, Salazar worked to �usher in a new era of conservation,� according to a White House news release. The release cited Salazar�s accomplishments in promoting renewable-energy projects, and strengthening relationships with Indian Country.
Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a statement that Salazar continued to help Colorado in his Cabinet post.
�His many accomplishments included establishing the expansive Rocky Mountain Greenway across metropolitan Denver and creating a remarkable conservation area in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico,� the statement said.
Jim Carpenter, Salazar�s former campaign manager and state director, praised his old boss for his creativity, energy and work ethic.
When staff seemed reluctant to work on weekends or holidays, Carpenter said Salazar would always respond: �You�ve still got to feed the cows on Christmas.�
Salazar also served as the Colorado Attorney General, first elected in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. Michael Bennet, the Denver Public Schools superintendent at the time, filled the final two years of Salazar�s term in the Senate before winning the seat in 2010.
In a statement, Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio called Salazar balanced � solving current crises with planning for the future, particularly with renewable energy.
Salazar�s brother, John, is Colorado�s agricultural commissioner and a former U.S. representative for Colorado�s 3rd district.
�I know this was a tough decision for Ken because he values the important work being performed in the Interior Department, but we were raised with a strong family bond,� John Salazar said in a statement.
Colorado�s current senators are active in committees that share missions similar to the Interior Department: Bennet is the chairman of the Conservation, Forestry and Natural Resources Subcommittee, and Sen. Mark Udall is chairman of the National Parks Subcommittee.
�As a senator, Ken�s service to Coloradans was unrivaled in our state�s history,� Bennet said in a statement. �As Interior secretary, his work now leaves a long legacy characterized by the thoughtful stewardship of our nation�s lands and waters and a long list of impressive accomplishments.�
Udall agreed: �Ken and I have worked together for more than a decade to protect Colorado and the West�s land, air and water. He understands that we don�t inherit the Earth from our parents � we borrow it from our children,� he said in a statement.

In India it is said that the mere sight of a Gyuto Monk is a blessing, but to hear the sound of their chanting is to be transformed. Don't miss an amazing opportunity for both of these at a very special harmonic chanting performance at Crystal Castle on Saturday 28 May at 7.30pm.
This very special performance will be a glorious opportunity to experience this unique musical art form. The Gyuto Monks' pure voices combined with their ancient Tibetan instruments and the visual delight of their rich brocade costumes will make for an unforgettable evening.
The Gyuto Monks of Tibet are the masters of a unique tradition of harmonic overtone chanting. Trained over many years, each monk has developed the extraordinary capacity to chant in three octaves at the same time. The deep, stirring sounds produced have been called the 'sound of heaven' and are the subject of fascination by ethnomusicologists the world over.
The monks are able to reach incredibly low notes, way beyond the range of a Western operatic bass, and the resonance produced has an interesting similarity to the sound of a didgeridoo. In fact both sounds are considered to be audible embodiments of the human relationship to the principles that order the universe, that which the Buddhists call Dharma and the indigenous Australians simply call the Law.
All proceeds from the harmonic chanting performance will go to the 'World Peace Stupa Project' blessed by his holiness the Dalai Lama. The stupa will be the very first of its kind in Australia and will represent world peace.
Stupa's are intricate, spiritual structures built under the guidance of a Tibetan Lama and every part of the design is endowed with special significance. Inside each stupa is a treasury filled with sacred objects and at the heart of the structure is the Tree of Life, a wooden pole covered with thousands of mantras written in gold.
The Kalachakra Stupa is a rare type of stupa with an unusual spherical body. It is created to protect against negative energies using symbolism from the Kalachakra Tantra. Kalachakra means 'Wheel of Time' and a Kalachakra Stupa is known as the stupa for world peace. It is specifically for restoring balance to the earth in times of war, conflict and environmental destruction. Tibetans believe that contributing to the building of a stupa is one of the most auspicious things one can do.
Whether it is their mastery of the human voice or the recitation of the Buddha's teachings that forms the content of the chanting, this unique musical phenomenon is simply not to be missed. Not only does it move the heart and stir the soul it is reputed to have a transformative effect on the physical as well as emotional body.
When: Saturday 28 May 2011
Where: Crystal Castle
Time: 7.30pm
Cost: $30 at the door (all proceeds to the development of the stupa)

Time to get back on track. Good energy right from the start is what is needed.
Oh yeah.
Happy New Year Clipper Nation.
Ditto, M8!
Happy New Year, everyone! Let's hope the Clippers didn't party hardy last night and they actually come out with a vengeance at tonight's game. They need to restore order in the Clipper universe and start the new year with a banging win. Crossing my fingers they win this game and not play down to the Bobcats' level.
BAd opponent,we all know what that could mean. Have to nut up tonight.
Nut up? lol I must be living under a rock I've never heard that expression.
Al jefferson will god off tonight without interior defense
we shouldn't love to this team under any circumstances
If there is any lack of energy this game that is unacceptable
but then again new years partying could ruin the energy as well haha
This needs to be a statement game for the Clippers.. If they don't come out and dominate than something is wrong with this team. Right now we look no better than we were last year..
Urban Dictionary:
nut up
(v.) To gird ones loins. Nutting up entails using one's proverbial balls or "nuts". Mainly used on the US west coast, it's the sister (brother?) term to cowboy up.
I better nut up or I'm gonna get my ass kicked in this fight.
That's classic. I'll consult you for all jargon, slang and expressions I am unfamiliar with
Let's get a win tonight to the start the new year off right!
also, Happy New Year to all ctb members! ClipperNation for life!
Well, i would like to think that tonight can't get anywhere near as bad as Monday, Let's hope so. We need to start 2014 on the right track.
Maalik Wayns is actually available to play tonight!
you guys think he'll actually get waived?
Yes. So will Jackson.
happy new years all! Lets have a great year w/ the clippers!
Nice- Jamal hits his first jumper!
Dudley corner BINGO!
Blake smooth looking FT J.
Come on Dudley, defend without fouling
These Bobcats are surprisingly better than I thought they would be. They're up 4 already. Ugh. At least Clippers have made a couple of 3s so that's encouraging.
Jamal is looking sharp- hits another jumper!
Bobcats are pretty decent
Dudley hits his second 3!
B2B 3's by Tolliver- come on can't leave him.
CP looking sharp!
It's great CP is being aggressive early in the game. I hope this bodes well for the rest of the game. Need this win!
Blake is OUT OF CONTROL tonight. he needs to settle down and stop forcing it. He should no he is not gonna get any calls from Violent Palmer. He gets mad at a no call doesn't hustle back and compromises the defense giving up a three to Tolliver. FOCUS !!
I DO NOT want to see Blake regress on his FT shooting. Also not in love with his body language right now. Not sure what's going on.
Is it just me or do we look line we have no chemistry again.That is the biggest issue.
If we play defense we win tonite
we need to go on a run
He didn't like that foul call on him and then he turned it over and he seems really pissed. Doc needs to shake him up and tell him to get his head sorted.
Bench doing well!!
Atleast matt has decide to move in now instead all them 3s!
I don't know, they seemed to be a bit cautious or something. Maybe they are smarting from that Suns loss?
2 steals result in 2 jumpers by Barnes!
Hollins has been in 1:19 and already has 1 foul
Hollins keeps this up (2 fouls under 2 minutes) he will not make it to the half
I like the defensive intensity by the second unit thus far.
Hollins and 1!
Willie nice jumper!
Jamison needs to find his 3-point shooting groove back.
When is Jamison going to make a 3 again- sheesh.
I hope one of CP3's new year resolutions is to be more aggressive...
Our trigger happy wings who barely can shoot 3s will be the death of us. Stop shooting so many damn 3s! Its been a consistent problem

Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that
require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or
crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning
(encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words,
flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after
flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the
ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous
year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove
1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Planting Shrubs Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the
same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider
and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil
Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well.
Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well.

Tonya Stroman knew Crosland Park had a reputation when she moved to the neighborhood two years ago.
"I was kind of skeptical of moving in because of the reputation it had, and the look of some of the property," she said. "If you don't take a chance of trying to make something different, then it's always gonna be the same."
Stroman wanted to make a change, which is why she joined the Crosland Park Neighborhood Association shortly after arriving. She is now the association's president.
According to Gary Yount, former president, the association has been around since 2008.
"We did this because of the Crosland Park initiative that the City was going to undertake, which, as far as I know is still going on," he said. As part of the initiative, the City of Aiken purchased some homes in the neighborhood, refurbished them and placed them up for sale for people with low incomes.
"They wanted to see a neighborhood organization that could work in concert with that and maybe inspire the neighborhood to become more involved than it had been," Yount said.
What it does
The organization hosts a variety of events in the neighborhood, including holiday get-togethers, potluck dinners and health fairs.
They also hold regular meetings, with guests from the City Council and department heads, Yount said.
The organization charges members $5 to be a part of it, which covers the cost of hosting the numerous events.
Most recently, the association teamed up with Leadership Aiken County for the Safe Routes to School Project, which cleared out trees and overgrowth between the neighborhood and North Aiken Elementary and Aiken Middle schools, making it safer for children to walk to and from school.
Yount and Stroman said the community, which has been plagued by crime, has seen less of it and more cooperation with law enforcement.
"We're the liaison between the residents and the City of Aiken police department," Stroman said. "You had a lot of people who did not like talking to police because of fear of retaliation."
Yount said he attended a conference in Columbia last year.
"(A speaker) said, 'When you get right down to it, a crime watch situation is really nothing more than the average citizen looking out for his neighbors,'" he said. "So for me, we should have a neighborhood-wide crime watch in that respect."
The association doesn't have a large group committed to looking out for crime; but rather, the decreased crime is a symptom of greater presence in the neighborhood, according to Yount.
Getting started
Cynthia Mitchell, neighborhood services coordinator for the Aiken Department of Public Safety, said they get numerous calls from people interested in starting neighborhood associations or crime watch groups, many of whom live in neighborhoods that already have a group established.
"What we encourage is, if there's someone interested in a crime watch, to talk with a few of their neighbors and see what the interest is," she said. "From there, if they decide that, yeah, we want to get something a little more formalized, they're encouraged to call us here at Public Safety."
Mitchell said a neighborhood only needs three or four interested individuals to get a group going. Aiken Public Safety can provide information on how to get the word out, and even arrange for an officer to come speak at a meeting about crime patterns in a neighborhood.
Aiken Public Safety doesn't keep a record of every association or watch group, but Mitchell said representatives from each group are invited to join the Aiken Council of Neighborhoods.
"The main thing is, we want to establish relationships with the different neighborhoods within the city so that we can have good communication with them," she said. "What we have found over the years, so many times, the neighborhoods are having some of the same concerns, they're dealing with the same issues. We find that maybe one neighborhood has found a creative way of dealing with something; another neighborhood may not know about it, and if they never get to the table and start talking about it, we just operate in these individual pockets and don't get anywhere."
'The best medicine'
One organization has a monthly safety walk, during which children make posters, carry them through the streets and chant while being escorted by a Public Safety officer, according to Mitchell.
"When there is activity buzzing, when people are out and about being seen, that decreases the opportunity for negative activity," she said. "If someone wants to come into a neighborhood and do something illegal, one of those neighborhoods where there are people walking and active and looking is probably not the neighborhood to choose."
Low membership numbers continue to be a problem for the Crosland Park neighborhood.
"I don't think we ever achieved as great as a participation as I would like to have seen, and to tell you why, I really can't," Yount said.
Stroman said she plans to keep the association "consistent" in what it has been doing, and has been pushing the association's Facebook page: Crosland Park Neighborhood Association.
"I would persuade people to make a difference in their community," she said. "It's all about having pride where you live. If we don't stand up for our community or development or subdivision, who's gonna do it?"
Mitchell encouraged people to be on the lookout for their neighbors and neighborhood, and to call Public Safety if something seems suspicious.
"How these crime watch groups and associations really help is, neighbors get to know each other," she said. "It seems like, in crime prevention, we say this all the time and it seems so simple, but it actually is the best medicine: Get to know your neighbors. Get to know each other's routines, and when something is out of the ordinary, I better call Public Safety."

Off topic but does anyone remember world b free?
If we pick up Ron Ron then cool..... If we pick up Granger then great..... if we pick up a nobody/pick up nobody I'm just not cool with that.
My sources tell me there will once again be Peace in L.A.
Please NO.
I think Jamal's injury makes picking up World Peace less likely. Going to need a guy that can put up buckets.
I still think Doc will get Sasha.
In my opinion, Metta has been illegally doping.
And I think he will, eventually, get caught.
I don't want the Clippers to be the team he's on when the music stops and he finds himself without a chair.
What proof do you have of Metta illegally doping?
If I had "proof" I wouldn't say things like, "In my opinion".
Metta went to a doctor, whose name he will not disclose and who is not affiliated with any NBA team or any disclosed surgical or treatment center, for a "new technique" purported to be similar to " Platelet Rich Plasma". It was recommended to him by Kobe (who got his recommendation from a cyclist who is now banned for doping) and A-Rod (also ejected for doping). His career was nearly finished before the "special treatments" but then it suddenly revived. When asked how he was playing like he was younger, he said it was because of "yoga". When asked about the "special treatments" he says it's something he cannot talk about.
The NBA doesn't test much - it tests less than almost all other professional sports. This is a guy who, in my opinion, is doping. Eventually he will be caught. Eventually.
I have no evidence or anything but I believe that anybody who went overseas to Germany to get surgery also found out about TRT. TRT can do wonders for athletes in their mid 30s
Well I'd expect that from anyone who wants to bring Kaman back. ha JK

Reds lineup vs. Orioles
Heisey 9
Phillips 4
Votto 3
Gomes DH
Lewis 7
Stubbs 8
Hernandez 2
Cairo 5
Janish 6
Bailey 1
*Jay Bruce is 2-for-10 in the series so far, including a 0-for-5, 3 strikeout game last night. Not surprised he's getting a break.
**UPDATE – Bruce is sick today. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt in the clubhouse and looking rather lousy. He was going to see the Orioles team doctor to find out what he has.
"I don't feel good this morning," Bruce said. "I felt perfectly fine last night. But when I got back to the hotel and went to bed, I caught a chill and couldn't shake it."
"We're going to find a place to quarantine him if he's contagious so he doesn't get anyone else sick," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
*As expected, RHP Homer Bailey was activated from the 15-day disabled list to make the start today. To make room on the roster, Carlos Fisher was optioned to Triple-A Louisville.
*In the last 18 games, Reds pitchers are 10-8 with a 2.82 ERA, with the starters 10-5 with a 3.03 ERA.
*Joey Votto became the eighth Canadian born playuer to reach the 100 career home run milestone last night. The other seven are: Larry Walker (383), Matt Stairs (165), Jeff Heath (194), Jason Bay (193), Justin Morneau (185), Corey Koskie (124) and George Selkirk (108).

The landlord Katja is very kind and helped us in every moment, even when we had a problem at 22:00!!
The room is beautiful and has a good view! It is 10 minutes from the port.
We higly recommend this room.
Very nice apartment with good room and kitchen. Fantastic terrace with shade all day and the lush surroundings. The landlord Jelka is very friendly, but speaks very good English. French is good however. Well functioning Wifi. About 10 min. walk to the beach below the Hotel Hvar. We stormtrivdes!
Mycket trevlig lägenhet med bra rum och kök. Fantastisk terass med skugga hela dagen och lummig omgivning. Hyresvärden Jelka är mycket vänlig, men pratar så bra engelska. Franska går dock bra. Välfungerande Wifi. Ca 10 min. promenad till stranden nedanför Hotell Hvar. Vi stormtrivdes!
Big, nice and clean apartment. Valentina and Frano are really nice and made us feel as at home. Location is perfect to visit the island.
The room is one that is very simple, but I felt very comfortable. Everything was very clean and had private bathroom with shower (apparently not all rooms). Very nice and friendly host. The area of the nicest I've seen in my life.
La habitación es la que es: muy sencilla, pero me sentí muy cómodo. Todo estaba muy limpio y teníamos baño en la habitación con ducha (parece que no todas las habitaciones). El anfitrión muy simpático y agradable. La zona de las más bonitas que he visto en mi vida.

Beautiful and well kept apartment in the very short distance from the fantastic Plivische lakes. Friendly and helpful host, pity he did not speak languages. The daughter brought salvation, they spoke German.
Prachtig en goed verzorgd appartement op heel korte afstand van de fantastische Plivische meren. Vriendelijke en behulpzame gastheer, jammer dat hij geen talen sprak. De dochter bracht redding, zij sprak goed Duits.
very friendly host, nice apartment with private little garden. At great distance from the city center.
erg vriendelijke gastheer, mooi appartement met eigen stukje tuin. Op prima afstand van het stadcentrum.

Bass, Striped (Suzuki) – U.S., Hook and Line
Striped Bass are a moderately growing, long-lived fish found along the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. and Canada. Since the collapse of the Striped Bass fishery in the 1980s, numbers have gradually increased due to successful management, and today Striped Bass have a high abundance throughout much of their range.
Striped Bass are an important recreational and commercial seafood species. When caught with hook and line, there are minimal affects on non-target species and bottom habitats.
This fish may have high levels of mercury and PCBs that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury and PCBs in Striped Bass. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

Since the tax increases that Congress recently enacted won't solve all of the country's financial woes, it seems very likely that many popular tax deductions that have been around for as long as I can remember may be on the way out. With any tax deduction, the primary beneficiaries are those taxpayers who have the greatest income. This result is due, obviously, to the fact that our Tax Code is graduated, meaning, the more income you make, the greater the tax bite on the next dollar of income that you earn.
One very popular tax break that may get the ax is the current tax-free nature of employer-provided health insurance. The Kaiser Family Foundation recently estimated that more than 150 million of us get tax-free health insurance provided for us by our employers. Were those benefits to be taxed, the federal government would suddenly find itself with an additional $150 billion of our money to spend every year. Rather than eliminate this tax benefit entirely, the federal government may decide to gradually include the cost of these benefits into the taxable income of taxpayers above a certain threshold of income, say $250,000.
Another deduction that I believe will get a trim job, at the minimum, is the current deduction for mortgage interest. Under the present tax provisions, interest on residence loans of less than $1 million is deductible. The current benefit extends to second homes as well, as long as the total indebtedness does not exceed the $1 million threshold. Watch for Congress to reduce the maximum permitted loan amount down to, say, $500,000, or the deduction could be phased out, again, for those whose incomes exceed a threshold amount. Moreover, I believe that we can say goodbye forever to the deduction for second home mortgage interest.
Sadly, the deduction for charitable contributions may well be reduced or even eliminated. I suspect the Congress will do something like limiting the deduction to those contributions above some percentage of AGI. For example, medical expenses above 7.5 percent of one adjusted gross income are deductible for 2012. A similar approach could be adopted for contributions to charity, or the deduction could be phased out gradually as income goes up.
Currently, 4 million of us who must pay the Alternative Minimum Tax are not permitted to deduct our state and local tax outlays. Since this deduction totaled some $260 billion in 2010, I believe that taxpayers of every income ilk may be forced to say "Adieu" to the deduction for state and local taxes.
Investors in high-tax brackets have long favored municipal bonds since the interest that such bonds generate is currently exempt from federal taxation. Interest from bonds issued by South Carolina municipalities is also exempt from S.C. income taxes. In those states with high state tax rates, the total tax leverage from these bonds can be huge.
One way that Congress could curtail this tax benefit is to limit its maximum value to those in tax brackets of 28 percent or less. That would mean that an investor in the 39.6 percent bracket would pay an 11.6 percent tax rate on municipal bond interest. Since the current exclusion of this bond interest costs the federal government about $50 billion this year and since this treatment benefits primarily the wealthy, I believe that it will definitely be reduced or eliminated going forward.

Biax carbon in futura?
Hi Remi,
Is biax carbon used in the construction of the 2013 futuras as well?
|20th September 2012 08:39 PM
|Thanks for the info. Clears thing up very well. As I said, I love the iSonics. My current 3 bring me huge smiles every time I use them especially the 107.
|20th September 2012 08:08 PM
Hi Phil104
To not make confusion the real reason of the change between UD to Biax is to
make the board more comfortable and fast and ligther the Biax absobe better the vibration and came to simIlar feeling as the wood but ligther, ligther because no need to add glass on top of the UD. On top of that it's also more stronger th� recason why I say that. The percentage of the footstraps who come off is very low and get lower but the fact with forum it feel like a big thing. Alwys try to make better racing boards in all direction.
The Wood board is the more durable Technology that we have for the iSonic.
Hope it help
All the best
|20th September 2012 12:06 PM
I would be interested to hear from Remi if the Wood editions are also affected. However, I did examine closely my 107 this last weekend after it got some slight damage from a flying rig. It has had quite a bit of usage that board and the inserts seem to be in tact.
As for other options of the other brands I have played on the RRDs were the only ones that I liked to a similar level. All personal preference though.
|19th September 2012 09:05 PM
To Phil 104
Hey Phil,
I can confirm you're right regarding the Isonics are to be compared with little rockets. That's one of biggest issue for me, knowing i have to look out for another brand, but then again, there is an option.
I Have read you also own a SB 107 wood 2011, but have you read the list from Remi for whitch boards are build with the Biax Carbon 150 technique?
My board's footstraps are popping out of the deck as if they weren't stuck in it.
And that's after sailing no more than 20 to 30 hours on it. Hope your board holds out longer than mines did
Good luck to you and hang loose,
|19th September 2012 08:16 PM
I really hope you manage to get your board sorted. The iSonics really are great boards as I am sure you know. I love mine and would not want to change to any other brand offering.
|19th September 2012 08:07 PM
|Might be worth obfuscating your email addy as best you can or every spammer will be your best friend.

Not all isonics have durability problems
I feel sorry for those that have had durability problems. I just want to say that I think this does not apply to all isonic wood boards. I have the IS101 from 2008 and my board has held up incredibly well. I use this board with 6.4 7.1 and 7.7 sails (it is my only slalom/speed board) and sometimes it is very choppy. I think I have really used this board quite hard since I don�t have any smaller board for speed, probably done about 3000km on it and it still feels rock hard. My heels are hurting from running fast over chop so I have often wondered how long the board will manage. Compared to older boards like the f2 axxis that got very soft under the foot after I few years and my RRD FSW from 2004 with carbon deck but glass bottom that gets dented by every little knock on the bottom. I also have to say that my naish wave boards have had very good quality as well. I fully understand that if one board I disappointing you tries something else when you have the chance. I avoid RRD since I had one bad RRD board. I also think one or two years warranty is not worth that much since many boards are not used that regularly. If you sail it 20 times and 2hrs each the one year warranty is in reality a 40hrs of use warranty. I think that the distributors should be extra generous in countries that have a very short sailing season because of the winter.
