Miami Heat Index: Tristan Thompson
5-on-5 preview: LeBron hosts the Cavaliers
January, 24, 2012
Steve Mitchell/US Presswire
LeBron is flying high for the Heat now, but will he ever rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers?
On Tuesday, LeBron James and the Heat will face off against the Cavs for the fifth time since the two-time MVP left the only franchise he had ever known. The wounds have healed some for both sides, but still, a Miami versus Cleveland will always hold some more meaning than their respective records would suggest.
Have we seen the last of LeBron in a Cavaliers uniform? Is Kyrie Irving the favorite for Rookie of the Year? Is Norris Cole enjoying a better debut season than Tristan Thompson? Was beating Miami was the Cavs' brightest moment of 2011? Will the Heat play the Cavaliers in the opening round of playoffs?
In another edition of the Heat Index's 5-on-5 series, our stable of writers and voices play some "Fact or Fiction" with the story lines surrounding the Cavs-Heat matchup.
1. Fact or Fiction: LeBron James will be a Cavalier again.
Tom Haberstroh, Heat Index: Fact. Time heals all wounds even if it won't turn ashes to jerseys.
John Krolik, TrueHoop Network: Fiction. Stranger things have happened. But not a lot of them.
Jorge Sedano, ESPN radio/790 the Ticket: Fiction. Did we all forget about July 8, 2010? Yeah, most people haven't either. Though, I guess there is a possibility if Dan Gilbert all of a sudden writes an apology letter in Comic Sans. Outside of that, the only way he ends up a Cavalier again is if he trades himself in a future edition of NBA2K.
Michael Wallace, Heat Index: Fact. But for now, I only see it happening in the instance where, when it's all said and done - and much is forgiven - the Cavs do one of those 'sign for a day' deals so LeBron could retire as a Cavalier. But I don't see him actually playing for them again.
Brian Windhorst, Heat Index: Fact. Insane you say? Never? Impossible? Too much bad blood, right? Not in professional sports, where you can always go home again. And when it does happen the Cavs fans, for the most part, will welcome him back. Don't believe me? They're building a statue in Cleveland to Jim Thome right now and he ditched Cleveland for straight cash back in 2002. Not today and not tomorrow but someday James will consider it because time heals wounds, it just does. The Heat will not be championship contenders forever. James has outs in his contract after the 2014, '15 and '16 seasons for the record.
2. Fact or Fiction: Kyrie Irving will beat Rubio for Rookie of the Year.
Haberstroh: Fact. As much as I think Ricky Rubio has teenybopper appeal for basketball fans, Irving has scoring, PER and the No. 1 overall pick status on his side.
Krolik: Fact. Irving is having a great scoring season for a rookie and passing the ball well, so Rubio's ROY claim would have to be based on the fact that he's a good defender while Kyrie is a bad one. And ROY voters are notorious about ignoring defense.
Sedano: Fact. As much as I love "La Pistola's" game (Spanish for "The Pistol." Yes, I'm showing off my Spanish speaking skills. By the way, I have no idea if he even likes that nickname, but I'm going with it), he has Kevin Love on his team and he's shooting less than 40% from the field. Kyrie is carrying the Cavs and is shooting 50% from the field.
Wallace: Fiction. Rubio is the bigger national/international media darling and he has more of a flair for the spectacular. That doesn't mean he's better than Irving, who I'd take in a heartbeat if the two were up for grabs. But as we've seen with the MVP voting, things get political and agenda-driven.
Windhorst: Fact. Rubio has some slick passing highlights but Irving has been the much better overall player. In fact, it is not even close. He has continued to impress opposing scouts and coaches with his maturity and skill level, even if he hasn't made SportsCenter as much. There's a reason the GMs recent voted Irving to be the most successful current rookie in five years.
3. Fact or Fiction: N. Cole is having a better rookie year than T. Thompson.
Haberstroh: Fiction. The Cole Train has gone off the rails recently. He's missed more layups than he's made this season and has four assists in his last five games. I'm as guilty as anyone for overreacting to Cole's hot start and Tristan Thompson is proving that he's already an average NBA player. Thompson gets the nod, but I reserve the right to jump back on the Cole Train if need be.
Krolik: Fact, although it's kind of apples and oranges. Cole's numbers have fallen off, but he's still a bit part of Miami's "pace and space" attack because he, like Chalmers, puts pressure on the defense on both sides of the floor. Thompson has given the Cavaliers a lot of energy, and I think he has potential, but his offensive numbers are cringeworthy right now.
Sedano: Fiction. It's close. But, the Cole Train has slowed down after a fantastic start to the season. The last 2 weeks have been quite pedestrian. Thompson's FG percentage has been has been good so far. Points are a wash. Thompson's blocks and rebounds wash out with Cole's steals & assists numbers. It comes down to PER. Thompson wins by a hair.
Wallace: Fiction. I'd say it's a wash so far. Even in games when Cole doesn't score, he still dictates tempo and puts pressure on the defense in transition. Likewise, Thompson certainly has had his moments. But both seem to have hit a truncated rookie wall at times.
Windhorst: Fiction. Cole had a tremendous start and that great performance against the Celtics has carried him for awhile. The reality is he's been struggling for the last three weeks, turning the ball over a bunch and seeing his playing time and shooting percentage shrink lately. That's OK, it happens, he's a rookie. Thompson has been an effective bench player for the Cavs so far, showing off his extreme athleticism. He's been unsteady too because he's very much a rookie as well. He also might not play tonight with an ankle injury.
4. Fact or Fiction: Beating Miami in March was the Cavs' highlight of 2011.
Haberstroh: Fiction. As deeply therapeutic as it was for Cleveland fans to watch their team destroy LeBron and the Heat at the Q, lottery night was the real turning point for the franchise. Funny how a lucky ping-pong ball can change everything.
Krolik: Fiction, because I think winning the lottery with the Clippers' pick was a more long-term moment. Personally, I wouldn't trade Kyrie for that one game when both teams' fates had been decided, but I think that night, on a purely visceral level, was more satisfying than the ping-pong balls bouncing the Cavs' way. Wow, I'm really hedging on these.
Sedano: Fact. Not only was it the highlight of 2011 for the Cavs, the fans at the Q reacted as if it was payback not only for The Decision, but for: A) The Indians losing the 1997 World Series to the Marlins; B) The Fumble; C) The Drive and; D) the fact someone thought it was a good idea to make several sequels to Major League. Lots of pent up frustration. I guess it's hard to blame them.
Wallace: Fiction. I'd say finally snapping that NBA-record losing streak was the highlight. Beating LeBron's new team ranks second to that. Had Cleveland beat Miami in that first December meeting, that would have been the high-water mark.
Windhorst: Fiction. It was winning the draft lottery with the Clippers pick they traded for in February. Irving is that good.
5. Fact or Fiction: MIA will open the playoffs vs. CLE (now an 8th-seed).
Haberstroh: Fact, because that 1 vs. 8 East match-up in lockout-shortened seasons is always destined for drama. Am I right, Heat fans?
Krolik: Fiction. I don't think the Cavs will make the playoffs, and it could be tricky for the Heat to beat out the Bulls for the top seed. The matchup could happen, but the odds seem to be stacked against it.
Sedano: Fiction. I wanted to say fact, simply because I think it would make for great theater. We rarely get any interesting story lines for a first round series. So, I'd like it to happen, but I think the Knicks will get back in the playoff picture and Boston could be a likely 8th seed. Now that I think of it, that works too. Maybe @sportsguy33 can take part in 5 on 5?
Wallace: Fiction. While it's good that the Cavs are ahead of schedule and playing relatively well so far this season, I'm not so sure they'll be able to hold off Boston, New York and Milwaukee - three teams that are likely to get going eventually. Cleveland will contend for a playoff spot, but I doubt they make it this season.
Windhorst: Fiction. The Cavs are not a playoff team. They got off to a solid start at 6-6, but their schedule has a couple of brutally challenging periods and they're in a 15-game stretch right now against top competition that is already taking its toll on them.
LeBron 'like a brother' to Cleveland rookies
January, 24, 2012
By Brian Windhorst
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Many believe that LeBron burned his bridges with Cleveland, but the Cavs' rookies consider him a mentor.
MIAMI -- If both LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavs had control of such things, neither would mention their past love affair and everyone would just proceed through Tuesday night's game like exes avoiding eye contact at a wedding.
The venom has run its course and there's no reason to rehash old ground. But here's the thing: Despite the "moving on" rhetoric, James actually continues to take an interest in the Cavs. And not like last season, when he waited for chances to take Twitter jabs at them during low moments.
No, believe it or not, he's actually rooting for them now in the sort of way an NBA player can take such an interest in another team.
The Cavs' new core, the one that is designed to help them move past the James era, is actually tied to James as part of the NBA's always tangled web of connections. Kyrie Irving, the No. 1 pick in last year's draft, and Tristan Thompson, the No. 4 pick, both have long relationships with James and consider him a mentor.
Irving is off to a fantastic start to his career, an early front-runner to win the Rookie of the Year Award, like James did for the Cavs back in 2003-04, and has been getting advice on dealing with life in the NBA from the man he is essentially replacing. James has been watching and doing plenty of encouraging.
"We talk a lot; I've been knowing Kyrie since he was a ninth grader and it's been great to see him continue to get better over the years and do the things he's doing in Cleveland right now," James said. "He's been playing great. He's been showing why he's the No. 1 pick in the draft. Cleveland got a great pick."
James has known Thompson nearly as long and last year Thompson selected one of James' best friends and business partners, Rich Paul, to be one of his agents. For James, that virtually makes Thompson part of his extended family. The feeling is apparently mutual.
"Me and LeBron's relationship is pretty close," Thompson said. "He's like a brother to me."
This is a topic that may be uncomfortable for the Cavs and their fans. The team's leadership knows this is a part of the NBA; players have relationships with other players. They have to continue operating and that means letting bygones be bygones as much as possible. But they cannot help but be sensitive to any mention of Irving and James being linked for so many reasons, with public relations near the top.
Irving, who was just out of high school and indifferent on the whole matter of James' departure, knows that his new fans might not be thrilled that he looks up to their ultimate villain. But he's also not planning to let it dictate how he interacts with James.
"Honestly, there's nothing to juggle for me personally," Irving said. "I wasn't really worried about filling LeBron's shoes or filling that void. I was worried about being the best rookie I could be. I set my own goals and on that goal list was never 'be like LeBron.'"
That isn't just lip service, that is how Irving feels. The Cavs were already high on his talents but settled on him as the top pick largely because of his demeanor. He doesn't carry any of the emotional baggage with James that anyone who was around in 2010 does, and that is a distinct advantage. It also makes it easy for Irving to accept James' counsel without a hint of guilt. Thompson feels the same way.
"I wasn't in Cleveland when LeBron played there, so I don't think I'm in the whole drama dilemma," Thompson said. "He did what he felt was best for himself and I'm here and I'm a Cleveland Cavalier."
Though he never really looked for a veteran mentor when he came into the league, James has played this role for top young players for the past several years.
Some of it is business; part of James' responsibility was to recruit college players to his agency and Nike. Sometimes it has led to such signings and sometimes it hasn't. James developed a relationship with 2010 No. 1 pick John Wall and Wall picked a different representation agency and signed with Reebok. Irving also picked another agency but did sign with Nike.
But it is not all about money, it is part of James' personality to be inclusive of young players. Chris Paul is one of his closest friends. His friendship with Dwyane Wade is a major reason he's in Miami now. His contact list is deep, and as the Cavs' two rookies have experienced challenges and successes, James has been there to share those moments with them.
Though the Cavs come to town with a three-game losing streak, there have been successes. Especially for Irving, who is averaging 17 points and nearly five assists a game and impressing all along the way.
"He's a smart player and even with the limited number of games he had in college, he's already making an impact with them," James said. "I'm happy for him."

Dolomites to Paris
... to arrive some other lady couldn't carry her tray and suitcase so I carried her tray for her to her table. Again she was thankful. I'm hoping after the few good deeds for the day my karma has leveled out. We caught the flight to Paris and checked into our hotel, the Mercure. It was very fancy. We knew it was going to be expensive and toyed with the idea of going back to the airport for dinner but decided out of convenience to have it at the hotel restaurant. I had a cheese ...
The Dolomites Day 2
... struggle down it and that gave her motivation to do it. It was a sign that today was going to be a good day. We skied all the way to the cable car without stopping and Ash then saw the cable car that we would be riding up the mountain. She had a bit of a panic attack but she still got in and held on tight. A dude was standing at the window and moved so Ash could get a better position to see out the window. Ash refused politely with a look on her face that said ...
The Dolomites
... and a few pep talks and hugs she built up her courage to side step down the steep part (a good 60 meter or so). We got to a better gradient and although she was knackered we kept going to the next chairlift. We took that up and there was another steep part. I was starting to regret taking this route as I know Ash would be hating it about now, if she wasn't already. On the other hand, I wasn't sure the other options were any better ...
Venice to the Dolomites
... I did a big lap of the town, it was -4deg, and had no luck finding the office. After asking for directions a few times and following them in a round about way to no avail then asking for more directions leading me back to the bus stop where ash was waiting I was starting to get a bit frustrated! Eventually we noticed a big Ski Pass sign staring us right in the face across the road from the bus station... If only I ...
When in Rome
... my eyes - it was unbelievable. After craning our necks we decided it was time to leave this masterpiece and visit St. Peter's Basilica. After waiting in line for 1h staring at this gigantic building and listening to the Christmas carols (I think they are dragging the celebrations out a tad too long) the anticipation was building. There is no other word to say it...this Basilica was beyond WOW!!! Made entirely of marble with beautiful statues, artwork and all the ...

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania
If judgement is rendered, in civil case where I owe $4500. to a computer company, because I did not appear, how can the "company" actually recoup it's loss if I have no money and no real property?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Easy. They will seek to levy on your bank account if you get income from any non-exempt source. If you keep more than $300 in any one bank account it will be at risk unless you take steps to protect against this by not having a bank account or by banking at a purely online bank or purely out of state bank or a credit union.
There is no wage garnishment in PA for most debts of this type. However, judgments last a long long time. On real property, they last for 5 years but they can be revived so that the judgment can continue to be enforced on the real property. For personal property (cars or a bank account) they last for 20 years. When I say that judgments last for a period, I do not mean that they go away. They never go away. They can only be enforced for 5 years on real property (unless revived) and 20 years on personal property.
While you say you have no money and own no real property today, I don't know your age or circumstances. If you are someone who will be looking to acquire assets or need credit in the future, then know that the judgment will be on your credit for 7 years from the date of entry of the judgment. With an outstanding judgment, you will not be able to get a mortgage. If you have a car, you can get a car loan but if the judgment is on your credit, your rate is going to be significantly higher.
You need to think about resolving this judgment at some point, depending on your circumstances. You can either settle at some point or if you have at least $10,000 in dischargeable debts, consider filing bankruptcy.

We have an outdoor post light that the electrician WAS supposed to wire for us ......after WE did all of the following ourselves(long story short,he screwed us, we were stupid )anyway....
the post is set, wired, 14g thhn run through conduit and buried, run up side of house through an lb to the basement right along side the panel....
we have a 14/2 wire fished to the upstairs by the door for a switch, we have the following materials that WE purchased to complete this project..
a 4x4 junction box,& a 15a breaker , is it possible to complete the rest of this ourselves??
seems like its a matter of tying it all together, but I have heard that there is a certain way to connect wires when installing a wall switch to the post light...something about a switch loop or something??
anyone want to try to explain???
and if it at all matters we will be installing on the same breaker in the same junction box at another time soffitt lights for a porch that will also be connected to its own wall switch,
should I call a new electrician???
I really am leary of any right now (sorry, bad experience)

Summer Fling Cocktail Recipe
Sep 1, 2011 3:01 pm
A cool vodka drink with hints of blood orange
Yes, the window is closing for another summer fling, but there's still plenty of time to make this, the Summer Fling Cocktail. Mixologist Julio Torres created this blood orange vodka cocktail for a special Rue La La dinner held earlier this summer at the restaurant August (which is co-owned by Food Republic co-founder Marcus Samuelsson). He used one of our favorite spirits, the boutique brand Double Cross Vodka, and conjured up a blood orange cube (the technique is below) to provide the flavor blast. If you want to have one last summer fling, let it be this one.
Servings: 1 cocktail
2 ounces Double Cross vodka
1 ounce watermelon juice, juice watermelon in juicer; then let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the top layer of pectin foam.
1/2 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce lime juice
2 thai basil leaves
1 blood orange cube
For Blood Orange Cube:
- Add tea and water to pot and simmer for about 30 minutes or when reduced to 2 cups of liquid. Strain through fine strainer and let cool.
- Add all ingredients — coconut water, simple syrup, molasses, blossom water — to tea. Taste to find balance.
- If needed add more syrup to round out the bitterness of the tea and add molasses to give sharpness. Always look for the balance.
- Freeze liquid in ice cube trays. The cubes will last for 4 months as long as they're covered.
For Cocktail:
- In a martini glass add blood orange cube.
- Fill shaker full of ice and add the first 5 ingredients listed above except Blood orange cube. Shake vigorously.
- Then pour into a martini glass. Garnish with thai basil leaf. Let your guest know to take his/her time tasting the Summer Fling. The journey of the senses begins once the cube blends into the cocktail. Enjoy!
Level of Difficulty:
Prep Time:
5 minutes
Cooking Time:
30 minutes plus freezing time for ice cubes

The government's watchdog agency recommended that federal acquisition rules be amended to better account for agencies' growing use of reverse-auction platforms for buying IT gear and products.
In a Dec. 9 report, the Government Accountability Office said it had monitored the use of reverse auctions by the Army and the departments of Homeland Security, Interior and Veterans Affairs to buy IT products and medical gear from 2008 to 2012. Most of the auctions resulted in contracts with relatively small dollar values -- typically $150,000 or less -- and a high rate of awards to small businesses.
According to GAO, the four departments have steadily increased their use of reverse auctions during that time period and awarded about $828 million through them in 2012.
Reverse auctions have been gaining steam because they are structured to spur sellers to compete for business by lowering their prices. The approach can also reduce agencies' acquisition processing time and costs, improve the transparency and collection of data, and encourage the participation of small businesses.

Davie: GSA saved a billion on 2013 IT buys
GSA launches reverse-auction platform
In a Dec. 3 blog post, Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of the General Services Administration's Office of Integrated Technology Services, said reverse auctions were among a panoply of acquisition techniques GSA is using to reduce costs for other agencies. Davie said that as of Sept. 30, the agency's six-month-old ReverseAuctions.GSA.gov site had saved 17 agencies an average of 7.27 percent, or $161,549.
In its report, GAO noted that another reverse-auction user, the Defense Logistics Agency, has issued internal guidance stating that the pricing platform should be used for all competitive purchases of more than $150,000.
GAO recommended that the director of the Office of Management and Budget take steps to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to address the growing use of reverse auctions and issue governmentwide guidance instructing agencies to collect data and share best practices on how to maximize competition and savings when using reverse auctions.
OMB officials mostly agreed with the recommendations but wanted to discuss them with the FAR and Chief Acquisition Officers councils.

Reverse Auctions need to be seriously looked at. They generally result in the Government spending MORE money than blind bid quoting.
The reverse auction mechanism allows vendors to hold selling prices up, only reducing them to just below their competitor instead of submitting an aggressive price to capture the business.
Then, many agencies pay a fee to reverse auction companies, making it an even worse deal.

Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTS 250 512MB vs Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTS 250 512MB features clock speeds of 738 MHz on the GPU, and 1100 MHz on the 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM. It features 128 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 ROPs.
Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB, which features GPU core speed of 650 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR3 RAM set to run at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 480 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.
(No game benchmarks for this combination yet.)
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
The GeForce GTS 250 512MB should in theory perform a lot faster than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTS 250 512MB is quite a bit (approximately 203%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 6570 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTS 250 512MB is a better choice, by far. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

HYDERABAD: C.R. Rao, eminent scientist, statistician and founder of the C.R. Rao Advanced Institute of Maths/Statistics/Computer Science, Hyderabad, in a message from the US on Saturday condoled the death of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
He said in the death of Reddy, not only Andhra Pradesh, but the entire country lost a leader of great vision and dynamism.
"As Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, he worked for the welfare of the people, especially the poor, and set an example for other States to follow. He believed in a balanced development of the State through investment in agriculture, industry, IT, bio-technology and related areas. Such a policy had led to a rapid economic growth of the State and greater satisfaction of the people. His tragic death is a grievous loss to Andhra Pradesh in many ways," said.

Last night at a lot of places
Posted Aug 15 2010 12:00am
I read a book recently, called
"Last Night at the Lobster" by Stewart O'Nan
, that made me think of all the boarded-up stores I'm seeing in all these downtowns I come across.
I can't help but think, as I look at the stores that sit next to the ones that are gone: Who's going to be the next one to go? Who's the next to get a big hunk of plywood slammed onto their storefront window, leaving no trace of life behind?
I think of what was behind those pieces of plywood. They were stores that sold anything from sandwiches to running shoes. I think of the people who worked their butts off to get people to buy shoes that nobody could afford. I think of how hard they worked to get people to pay $100 for sneakers, even if they were out of their mind to do so.
I think of the ice cream places on the way to the beach that left their buildings empty, except for the freezers that still sit there, unplugged from the walls. I think of how busy they once were, and how the workers will still scurrying around on Sunday nights in the summer, pushing buttons on machines and struggling to pull out of a four-inch scoop of cookie dough ice cream from a bucket below.
I think of their last nights, or days, and what they did, and how they could get through the last hours, the last minutes and the last seconds of watching a dream die. I think of how there was life behind the plywood, and how we shared in those lives, and how unfair it is that we never really get to know how it all ends.
With O'Nan's novel, at least, I get some idea. I get the idea of the social strata that exists behind every wall of every store, and how a bad economy not only destroys dreams but also ends a culture.
There's a social dynamic behind these walls that gives people something to live for, and something to hope for. Even more so, it gives them something to relieve the boredom of a hum-drum life, whether it's a life of high expectations or dead-end limitations.
I think of the book, and its main character, Manny, the manager at a Red Lobster in Connecticut who got high before he walked into the restaurant every day. I think of that last day, just as he was preparing to say goodbye to people who not only worked with him, but loved him.
I think of Ty the cook, who worked at a fast pace and always criticized another guy named Fredo, who had a habit and spilling things or has difficulty with many other tasks. Would Fredo ever get a job again? We can only hope, but not expect.
Manny, like Fredo, had a lot more troubles than just business. He had a girlfriend Dena and children, but much of the book is about his past love, a love he couldn't get over.
He couldn't get over his former affair with one waitress, Jacquie. He was surprised when she showed up for work on this particular day, since many others blew it off, knowing it was the last day.
But Jacquie came because she said she would, just after her husband dropped her off. Even on a day of endings, they knew there was something between them that would never go away.
On this last day, just as many things went right as they went wrong.
Though snow was falling, no snow plow came for hours. Manny and the staff scrambled to get things set up. Manny cleared the sidewalk and reminisced. But, mostly, he was working to head off disputes among staff.
Manny's former wrestling coach came in and, despite getting stuck in the parking lot on the way out, left a big tip.
A big farewell party - a party of 14 - came in and took up four tables. The staff struggled to handle it, and Manny tried to do what he can to alleviate the strain on the staff.
But it was still a struggle - especially when one of the customers found plastic wrap in his food.
A woman with a toddler who was behaving badly got snotty with the waitresses, while Nicolette, another waitress, did battle with a group of elderly women.
The elderly people complained that they can't use coupons - even though they stole all the sugar packets. They left a one-penny tip, and Nicolette threw a fit.
Manny finally got fed up and stormed out to the mall. Before he left, however, he gave everybody their paycheck, just in case they walked out to.
When he returned about an hour later, Manny saw the parking lot was partially plowed. Some employees he left, but he still had a staff, a cook, a couple waitresses. Just as life was ready to end, he got a short reprieve.
Manny also didn't care. He got ready for dinner, even though the snow is much worse. Nobody came in for dinner. A bus came by with people who just wanted to use the bathroom. Manny and the remaining staff played lottery tickets that Manny bought for Eddie. Nobody came close to winning.
Around 8 p.m., Manny decided to just shut it down. He cleaned everything, and threw everything away. He then dealt with phone messages from his preganant wife.
But even then, he couldn't get the intimate images out of his head with Jacquie.
In the end, it was just the two of them. They had avoided each other all day, almost. But they were the hardest workers there, so they were the ones who saw everything through.
In the end, they embraced. They said this is the best, though they definitely wished things were different.
If only their wish could be their command.

You've heard us talk about Boots in the Sand on the radio. Now that you have a minute or two in front of you computer I really want you to take a look at this great vacation opportunity. It's part vacation, part country music festival

It's popular to fuse country and hip-hop these days, but if Billy Currington ever releases a rap or R&B album, you won't hear it on country radio.

Shaz and Kanwal's apartment is excellent, well maintained, excellent furnishings, I enjoyed my time there very much, and also the excellent view. The apartment is conveniently located to Square One, Karyia Park was an added bonus. Highly recommended.
We had a great stay at the Grand Ovation Condo . It was very comfortable . Every thing was delivered according to the web site description. The location is excellent and accessible to freeways and town . I arrived very late at midnight due to flight delays , had to call the host at Midnight to inquire about the keys , they were very helpful and directed me to where the keys were. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.
My sister and I stayed here for 2 weeks, and it was excellent. Our host Kanwal was always available for my phone calls or texts and very sweet! The place was just as you see it in the photos, nice and clean. Location is great because you have a big shopping mall just steps away, a 24 hour shop just down the street and a ton of restaurants. We also used the fitness room in the condo which was very big with a lot of machines so you never have to wait around for one and the pool, jaccuzzi and sauna which is a perfect way to we your day! I would definitely recommend this unit or any unit with Kanwal and Shazaib. We would definitely come back! Thanks again for everything :)
Shahzaib and his team were excellent hosts!!!
My daughter and I stayed at one of their condos in the Ultra Ovation Building on Burnamthorpe Rd. W. , right across Square One. The check-in was quick and efficient which is what we really needed after a 16 hour flight into Toronto.
The place was very clean and all the basic necessities were available to begin our two week stay away from home in comfort.
The place had 2 bedrooms with queen size beds and 2 "full" bathrooms, a nice lounge and kitchen and dining area with great views from the huge balcony facing west.
I would definitely be using their services the next time I am in Mississauga and highly recommend them to everyone!

Please need info on this sofa. pic inside
i found this sofa in northern ontario. it was free from an old farm house. i need any info you can give on it. i love it. i was wondering its age, who made it, its value etc.
I'm no expert but it looks French Provincial mid 1960's. Legs & curve look like my stereo & we bought hubby's mom a Naugahyde sofa in 1962 wasn't like that it was just plain. So don't know how much help this is, is it leather?
thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure it is vinyl. I am amazed at the condition of the upholstery, i just wiped it down and it came up well. I think it may have been stored in a shed/barn for a bit, had some hay under the cushions lol. I am just debating on what to do with it. I was offered $100 for it and being as Christmas is coming up and money is tight i am temted. On the other hand, i do like it and for some reason i think it may be worth more then the offered price. I am hoping somebody may have some idea as to its value.
thanks again.
Its 1960s french provincial. The upholstery could be naugahyde, which is a high grade vinyl. I would probably take the $100 for it, unless you wanted to use it yourself. That is a good price outside the vintage retail setting.

I don't think there's much need to gamble on a hit or miss prospect.
If Snow comes out of the first round with Huberdeau,Hamilton or Couturier at #5, I'll be pretty happy.
By that logic let's trade all of our picks...
The draft is a crapshoot. Petteri Nokelainen (2004, 16th pick) and Kyle Chipchura (2004, 14th pick) were both supposed to be guaranteed NHLers. Where are they now? Nokelainen is in Finland and Chipchura is a healthy scratch/non-factor/13th forward on the Ducks this year.
My problem with Strome is the same as Hamilton: not a big enough reward to justify the risk.

Which is why companies like BMW are out of business because people refuse to pay that much money for a car.
1 recommendation
It's the availability of crap for cheap prices that causes people to buy the cheap crap.
Really - they are out of business?????? Trust me - they are not anywhere NEAR out of business.
and stupid enough to do total off-shoring like that ultimately pay the price by losing any reputation for quality that they might have once had.
So, would it be fair to say that, after transferring our manufacturing know-how and (quite often) the very machines to do that manufacturing over to China, that they now produce and keep the good stuff for themselves (at reasonable prices), while shipping the junk back home to us? I mean, this seems like it would be an expected outcome of the whole penny-pinching off-shoring process. Also very Darwinian, where companies that are greedy and stupid enough to do total off-shoring like that ultimately pay the price by losing any reputation for quality that they might have once had.
Opened it up and found the steel drive gear on the motor had split the Delrin gear it drove, now I realize Delrin is a self lubricating material stronger then nylon but what happened to using steel gears with grease.
they [Wal-Mart] are notorious for continually going back to their suppliers and telling them to squeeze out more costs, which almost always means lowering quality.
Milwaukee is a heart breaker. I have many Milwaukee drills from the olden days. They still hum along fine. They were very expensive, but I use them for commercial use, so it was worth the money.I bought a cordless Milwaukee set a few years ago, and it has been nothing but problems. At least three trips to the repair shop. I FINALLY got the Milwaukee rep to switch out the drill with a new one.Milwaukee is now owned by Techtronic (Ryobi), thus the dramatic drop in quality.I like Bosch, but it appears as thought they are taking the same path as Milwaukee. Everything is going to China. I have yet to see a quality power tool from China.
Nunya: I hear ya.I order jeans from denimexpress. Two years ago I got a pair of Carhartt canvas work jeans. Great jeans but $20 more than Wrangler, Dickies and Key. So I tried Key and their work jeans (5 pocket with little pocket that can hold cell phone not wood ruler). A heavier denim compared to Wrangler and Dickies. and $18.Last month I ordered another Carhartt "canvas" in diff color. It was thinner grade and tighter than the same #, same size pair I had two years ago. Quality down hill.
My Redwing boots crapped out last month (holes in the uppers, worn out soles). They were beyond repair, so I went to the boot store looking for non-Chinese replacements. Nothing that was waterproof. I couldn't believe Redwing had gone down the China path.I finally ordered from »www.afboots.com/ (I was leery about ordering boots online). They wound up being 1/2 the price of Chinese Redwings.
GE never had good stuff imho.
I don't know what difference being based in Hong Kong makes, the British handed it over to China years ago.
To Late I bought A craftsman last year!
Wal-Mart perpetuates the myth of low prices.They do this by having very visible and well placed loss leaders....while they make it up selling cheap junk at very high margins elsewhere. Walmart is always believed to be the cheapest, but it isn't.It's not just Walmart, however. The cheap junk at full price syndrome is everywhere. Farm Supply, Home Depot, ACE hardware, you name it. Junk @ full price.
Sadly these places are now few and far between. When i find one i frequent them as much as i can.
