It was, without a doubt, the scariest moment of my life. One recent Saturday afternoon, Chloe and Cole asked for an apple after lunch. I went into the kitchen and cut an apple into eight pieces, then gave four of them to Chloe and four of them to Cole.

I travel quite a bit and I go through my fair share of airport security screenings. Here's a good tip to remember if you're traveling this summer. Put your most valuable items, like a laptop computer, on the security conveyor belt first. Always put your shoes on the conveyor belt last. It's common for people to miss the last thing they put on the belt and walk away without it. I can assure you that you won't forget your shoes!
They haven't asked me to write a gardening column for the paper because my true gardening knowledge could be placed in a thimble with room to spare.
There are literally thousands of cultivated varieties of dahlias, which have been hybridized throughout the years.
It's nice to incorporate ornamental plants into casually designed perennial beds, shrub borders and natural areas of the yard, but what types of ornamental plants can one use to keep the deer from nibbling as if the yard were a buffet table?
This is the first in a series of profiles of Georgia wineries. Subsequent profiles will appear when the writer feels sufficiently motivated to do them ... or when his editor yells at him.
Pickup trucks are great to have. Besides making you sexier, they're great for hauling stuff. One problem though is when your items slide toward the cab in the truck bed and you have to climb in the truck to retrieve them. The solution: make a "truck stick." As the name implies it's a long stick with a hook on the end. Just leave it in the bed of your truck and use it whenever your items slide away from you.
Shortly after Cole was born, we got concerned. He was always crying and could never seem to get comfortable.

If you're ever eating out in a fancy restaurant and you can't figure out which bread plate and water glass is yours, remember this: BMW. No, I'm not referring to the car. I'm talking about bread, meat, water. Just as the letters are arranged, bread is on the left, meat is in the middle and your water glass is on the right. I was eating in a fancy restaurant a couple of weeks ago and one of the people at my table couldn't figure out which water glass was hers. My BMW tip impressed her ...

I watched less than 20 minutes of The Wolf of Wall Street and was totally turned off. Yet The Buy Side kept me turning pages to the very end, even though it was in a similar vein, about what life is like living in the fast lane of Wall Street, with its over-the-top sex, drugs and alcohol.
Other books about the world of finance have been pretty dry. Yes, there were clear descriptions of wrongdoing, but they are usually drained dry of any emotion. We certainly get a good idea of the ruthless, selfish and illegal doings of investment houses, playing fast and loose with somebody else's money, but we just get the facts, drained dry of any emotion before they ever reach the printed page.
But The Buy Side reads like a novel, a suspense and a drama. Can the kid from the country survive in the big city? Can he succeed as a financial wizard on Wall Street without getting thrown out on his ear? Will he be sucked into the seamy side? We read with bated breath.
The central character is Turney Duff, the author himself. He promises in the introduction to be as honest as he can be and he is — sometimes brutally so. I found myself rooting for him, even when I was frustrated at the stupid, wrong, dangerous choices he kept making.
We follow him as he journeys from Kennebunkport, Maine, to the heart of New York. As a brand new graduate from journalism school, in search of a job, he ends up on Wall Street, mostly by accident. The rest of his story is, alas, more predictable.
What saves this book from being just another of those "tell-all exposes" is his skill as a writer. He sets the stage beautifully. We can picture him as the only son in a family of daughters, at eternal odds with his perfectionist father. We can see him as the naive country boy in the big city, first developing his skills as a sales assistant at Morgan Stanley, and then developing his network of relationships as he began to climb the ladder of Wall Street success.
We are treated to a fascinating moment-by-moment view of how he lived his life, from his first $30,000-a-year position to his over-the-top lifestyle as a successful trader, commanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary and bonuses. We are right there with him as he is handed his bag of cocaine and decides it's not for him. Then we can only watch in horror as later in his story he snorts his first line of coke, and embarks on the roller-coaster that eventually sends him to rehab, not once but twice.
The glimpses we are afforded into the workings of Wall Street are fascinating, but it does make me wonder who is out there wheeling and dealing with your money and my money. Duff's job was to buy the financial assets of one investment firm and sell them to another firm, so he did not personally harm or steal from widows and orphans, but he did skirt around insider trading tactics, and schemes that smelled of chicanery.
Sometimes I got lost in the swift turnarounds that seemed to make money out of thin air. But I was always right there at Duff's elbow, trying to understand.
Not so the drug scenes. To be honest I skimmed those parts. I don't want to learn that language or become intimately familiar with skid row hotels. The author doesn't glorify this aspect of his life, so much as help the reader see how pathetic he was, unable to make good decisions.
There are no hard concepts to grasp in The Buy Side. But unlike The Wolf of Wall Street, The Buy Side does have redemption in its final chapter.

Figures released by the Scottish National Party have revealed that they spent £20,000 trying to fight a Freedom of Information Act request that revealed the true nature of legal advice received over their plans for Scottish independence.
The SNP has long campaigned for an independent Scotland and when their leader Alex Salmond won a majority of votes at the last general election to make him Scotland's first minister, the proposal moved tangibly closer.
Salmond campaigned for a mandate for a referendum on Scottish independence, which would be the first step towards making his dream a reality.
However, as the prospect of a decision on Scottish independence loomed, the realities of such a move were considered and made for uncomfortable reading.
The SNP had sought legal advice on whether or not an independent Scotland would automatically accede to membership of the European Union. A crucial point, given that failure to do so would place a newly independent Scotland years away from EU membership.
However, the very existence of such legal advice became hotly disputed, with the SNP denying such advice existed, whilst desperately fighting FoI requests to disclose any legal advice received.
In the end, the SNP admitted that no specific advice existed and therefore they would stop their legal battle against the FoI request.
The fight was damaging because Mr Salmond had previously stated that an independent Scotland would automatically accede to the European Union, whereas the considered opinion of most EU law experts is that it would not.
The Telegraph reports that the cost of that fight against the Freedom of Information Act request was a princely £19,452.92 of taxpayers' money spent on legal advice and fees.
The Freedom of Information Act request was tabled in 2011 by Labour MEP Catherine Stihler, to ask Scottish ministers exactly what legal advice had been sought over Scottish independence.
A senior Conservative MSP said that the SNP's failure to disclose important information could result in further costly litigation.
"If they fail to tell voters what their legal basis is for an independent Scotland being part of the EU, it could result in yet another expensive court case," said John Lamont, the Scottish Conservative Chief Whip.

There was corruption in Washington, and elsewhere. The crooks were making a fortune in sugar speculation; it was all over the papers. "Harding," Grandpa said, dripping contempt. And his generation thought General Grant was unfit for the White House.
"You boys should keep up with these things, too," he admonished. "Don't just read the damn box scores."
It was 1 p.m., two hours from the first pitch, and the scene around the stadium was like nothing anyone had ever seen. The ticket booths and windows, with their stash of 50,000 precious passes, opened and the line surged forward.
"OK, folks, plenty for everybody. Stop pushing," Officer O'Leary said.
They should have sold more tickets beforehand, some of the people were murmuring.
"Send a letter to Ruppert, my friend," the policeman said. "For now, stop pushing. You'll get one."
Back at the Ansonia, the Big Man had dressed, put on his raccoon coat and stuck his head out the door.
"Cold," he said to himself. "Not a good day to hit one. Bat's going to feel like bumblebees."
The shiny Pierce-Arrow, with the letters GHR painted on the fender, was already waiting. Another of New York's finest approached.
"Mr. Ruth, it's crazy in the Bronx. Mr. Ruppert called, thinks we should lead you there."
"OK, boys. Let's go."
Then Ruth turned and spotted a couple of young kids on the sidewalk, noting the holes in the knees of their trousers as they approached sheepishly.
"I suppose you want me to sign those?" Ruth said, pointing to the brownish baseballs in their hands. They nodded.
The police outside the Ansonia had seen this many times. They had a pen ready, and Ruth signed. "Thank you, Mr. Ruth," the kids said in unison.
Then Ruth brightened. "Hey, you boys want to come out to the game?"
"Do we?" they screamed.
"Hop in," Ruth said. "Just make sure the seat of your pants is clean."
Ruth's car started up, the policemen hopped onto their cycles and into the sidecars, and the race began.
"We're taking you up the East Side, along the Harlem River," they said.

Network Incentives in Managed Health Care
AbstractThis paper introduces a theory of network incentives in managed health care. Participation in the plan's "network" confers an economic benefit on providers; in example, the plan expects compliance with its protocols. The network sets a target for the number of outpatient visits in an episode of care. A provider failing to satisfy the target may be penalized by the paln's attempt to direct patients to other providers within its network. There is an equilibrium in which every provider in the networlk uses the target.

RALEIGH With Republican lawmakers still deadlocked on a major tax bill, Senate leaders are moving forward alone.
Presenting what he called a final offer, Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger debuted a compromise proposal Monday that moves closer to the competing House plan and predicted his chamber would approve it this week.
We think weve reached a point where continued discussions are probably not going to modify things that much, if at all, the Eden Republican said. The Senate needs to go ahead and move forward with a tax plan.
The Finance Committee approved the new proposal on a voice vote, and the full Senate will consider the measure Tuesday. The House is not meeting in full sessions this week, and Speaker Thom Tillis office did not respond to questions.
Berger called his plan substantial movement toward the Houses vision for a tax overhaul, but major differences remain. The Senates stance also complicates crafting a state budget for the current fiscal year. Who pays more and who pays less under the plan is unclear as fiscal projections were not immediately available.
One significant obstacle is the plans price tag. At full implementation in fiscal 2018, the Senate plan would mean $1 billion less revenue to pay for government services such as transportation, healthcare and education. It is essentially double the cost of the House plan and a major sticking point for Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, who said the plan needs to ensure enough tax money to fund his priorities.
Sen. Josh Stein, a Raleigh Democrat, made a similar point in committee Monday to criticize the plans move away from a tiered income tax to a 5.75 percent flat rate. He said it gives a disproportionate share of the benefits to wealthy taxpayers and cuts government revenue too much. I just dont think this is a sound way to do fiscal policy in North Carolina, he said before voting against it. We need to make sure we have enough for critical services.
Without any changes, state revenue is expected to grow 4.5 percent in the next two fiscal years. Bergers plan would lower spending growth to 3 percent at first and later 4 percent.
One of the key differences that many of us have on the issue of size of government and growth of government is how much is enough, Berger said. It is my opinion that this is enough.
The major concessions in the new Senate plan include no state tax on Social Security, a lightning rod in the original plan that spurred political blowback. Other changes would maintain local government privilege taxes, allow unlimited charitable deductions for those who itemize, and offer a $15,000 maximum break for mortgage interest and property taxes all points that drew loud opposition in the plans previous iteration.
It also includes a compromise personal income tax rate at 5.75 percent, which is about midway from the Houses proposal for 5.9 percent and the Senate previous position at 5.25 percent.
But the differences between the House and Senate are still considerable.
The Senate plan still gradually eliminates the states 6.9 percent corporate income tax, which the House maintains at 5.4 percent. Senate lawmakers also want to significantly lower the state franchise tax on businesses and eventually replace it with a privilege tax on all business entities. The House only moderately lowers the franchise tax.
Another significant sticking point is the Senates cap on the sales tax refund for nonprofits. The latest plan raises the tax break cap to $2.85 million at full implementation, a big shift from the previous $100,000 ceiling. The House proposes no changes to the tax break.
Berger said it would allow small and rural hospitals to get the full tax break. He also noted a separate provision to preserve UNC Hospitals tax-exempt status.
But Sen. Floyd McKissick, a Durham Democrat, worried about the hit on Duke Hospital, saying it would cost them an additional $40 million a year and further drive up health care costs.
Berger said major hospitals make a considerable profits and pay their executives huge salaries. He said any change is likely to be less than a 1 percent hit.

The Effects of Temporary Immigration on Prices of Non Traded Goods and Services
AbstractThis paper analyzes the impact of temporary immigration on the prices of nontradable goods and services. It presents a model of a small open economy that produces two goods/services, one tradable and one non tradable. It is assumed that temporary immigrants are confined to work in the non-traded sector and that they are only imperfect substitutes for permanent immigrants and native low skill workers. In our theoretical set-up temporary immigration is predicted to have a negative effect on the prices of non-traded goods and services, while the effect of permanent immigrants depends on the relative low skill domestic labor intensity of the non tradable sector. We test these predictions empirically using a panel dataset of 14 U.S. cities for the period 2000-2006. In line with other recent empirical studies we find that both types of immigration have a negative impact on the relative price of non-tradable services as a whole. These findings confirm that immigration, like trade and offshoring, has the potential to increase welfare through the reduction of consumer and input prices. When distinguishing individual non tradable sectors, though, we find evidence that permanent immigration increases the price of transport and health services. This finding is in line with the predictions of earlier theoretical work and suggests in the context of our model that these sectors are less low skill domestic labor intensive than tradable goods and services.

My first exchange with native speakers (Emily)
Hola todo!
Sorry I have failed to write in our blog for the past couple of days - I have been so busy with schoolwork!
Anyways, I wanted to write today about my first exchange (or "intercambio" as they call it) with native Spanish speakers. Last night, one of my American friends suggested that we eat dinner with some of the spaniards who just arrived at UIMP on Monday. So, we did, and although it is awkward to put yourself out there and talk to new people, we ...
First excursion with UIMP (Emily)
... stopped taking excursions into the actual cave so as to protect it), we did get to go into a replica cave. It was so interesting to learn about the cave paintings because they offer valuable insight to the beginning of humanity.
After the museum, we drove to Santillana to see the roman church located there. It was absolutely incredible to see this church because I have studied the different types of architecture in my culture of Spain ...
Excursion #1! (Ashley)
Today was an interesting yet very long day. I woke up around 8 am (around 2 am back home, says my everlasting jetlag) and got ready to tour a replica of the Caves of Altamira. For those who don't know what this is, look it up! Historically, it was the first cave found with art inside, opening the doors for many archeologists. At first, no one believed the farmer that they were real, as he casually found them with ...
Exploring downtown Santander (Emily)
Buen d�a todos!
Today I finally figured where where all the action is in Santander! Our school is on the outskirts of town, but apparently downtown is a short walk and there is so much to see there! We ate tortillas (which in Spain are actually omlettes, not tortilla bread) at a small local restaurant. Afterwards, we explored downtown and ...

I got a bite to eat at the end of the park and then tried to get a number 3 bus back to the apartment. I sat at a bus stop for about 30 minutes that showed a number 3 should come, but it never did. I started to walk back to the center of town and after walking about three miles and passing dozens of bus stops, I figured out that the bus only runs part of the route after ...

In the form of bread? A randomized comparison of cash and food transfers in Yemen
AbstractDebate over the implementation of food assistance programs and the role of in-kind food aid has intensified in recent years. Within that context, we study a randomized control trial of 136 rural communities in Yemen. Poor households in half of the communities received assistance in the form of in-kind food (wheat flour and oil), and households in the other half received an equal valued cash transfer. On average, households that received cash exhibited greater dietary diversity, with differences driven largely by increases in consumption of protein-rich foods like meat and fish. However, food households consumed, on average, approximately 100 more calories per person per day than cash recipients, due largely to higher wheat flour and oil consumption. Modality type did not significantly affect non-food consumption, including usage of qat, a mild narcotic leaf consumed widely in Yemen. Cash cost nearly a third less to transfer then food.

this is a gorgeous watch, but it only worked for a few weeks before it stopped keeping time. I read the instructions very carefully since its a wind watch and followed them carefully as well so I do not believe its a user error or I wound it wrong or something. I returned it to the manufacturer twice for repair under their warranty. I came back the second time and now it does not wind at all. The people at the manufacture are terrific, very friendly and responsive, excellent customer service. Unfortunately the watch itself seems to be a lemon. I cannot return it through Overstock.com, and the manufacturer won't let me return or exchange it either. My only recourse is to send it for repair, and after doing that twice I think I may have spent a lot of money of a lovely watch that functions as a paperweight. It really is a beautiful crafted watch, I am really disappointed.
Outstanding watch and well worth the money. I am considering buying another one for my daugher
My ONLY objection was the fact that it MUST be wound every four hours, (I timed it) to contimue running. I'm both lazy and forgetful so it didn't work for me but the watch is everything thing the other reviews claim. Its very attractive, a good size on the face and easy to read even with my old eyes. If Stuhrling could just do something about that winding ...
I received my watch yesterday and am thoroughly impressed with the quality and workmanship that went in to this watch. It is large enough to grab attention, but not so large as to appear gaudy. The instructions did not include specifics on winding the mechanism, which would have been helpful for a watch novice like me, so I just wound it until it "felt right". Time will attest to the watch's durability. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.
Very pretty a unique watch! Nice presentation box which can be used for storage if ever need be, but I don't think I will be putting mine in storage anytime soon. This is a larger watch face and easy to read. I am average size, 5'6', I can buckle the band on the tightest fitting for a snug fit or the 2nd to the last for a looser fit.
This gift was very well received. My wife said it's the nicest watch she's ever owned, and she wears it proudly. The black and gold color combination works well in a variety of settings, and with much of her wardrobe. I doubt she'll wear it every day, but it is an attractive option for more important occasions.

Former mayor Rudy Giuliani tried to scrub New York City clean in the 1990s, but nostalgia for notoriously gritty New York in the '70s and '80s remains at an all-time high. An exhibition at Lot 180 remembers a city that was, with a collection of photos, vinyl cover art, posters, and more. Cultural icons like Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, and Jean-Michel Basquiat (and his graffiti tag SAMO) populate the collection. This isn't the "Disneyfied" New York City of today. Street photography from artists such as Robert Herman and Fernando Natalici depict the city's graffiti-filled trains, the XXX theaters of Times Square, and other relics of a bygone era. The exhibition, which you can preview in our photo gallery, runs through September 1. … Read More
Miniature Paintings Enshrined in Vintage Books
Joseph DeCamillis, who we first learned about on Beautiful/Decay, transforms vintage books into works of art by inserting miniature copper oil paintings into their covers. But his altered books are more than just two-dimensional pictures. DeCamillis collages other materials and personal writings with the paintings that play off the cover text, creating new narratives. Combining DeCamillis' talent with his love of collecting and literature, the paintings are created with brushes that have three hairs or less. They are the size of a postage stamp. Once completed, DeCamillis seals the books shut forever. "Enshrining the miniatures in altered books establishes them as icons," he writes on his website. The highway imagery is inspired by DeCamillis' time living on the road in an old motor home. See more of DeCamillis' whimsical book paintings in our gallery. … Read More
Dazzling 19th-Century French Book Advertisements
A popular figure in France's social scene, and a successful poet and playwright, Victor Hugo spent nearly 20 years planning and composing Les Misérables. It received lukewarm reviews, but the book became a commercial success after its first printing in 1862.
The excitement the novel generated leading up to its publication was unprecedented. Advertisements displayed around the city of Paris introduced passersby to the characters struggling to start anew amid the 1832 June Rebellion in the City of Light. It was a bona fide media frenzy well before the age of the Internet. … Read More
Vintage Photos of Spring Breakers
Spring break season is upon us — a time when students everywhere step away from the books to decompress and indulge. Films like Spring Breakers paint a colorful picture of the MTV generation binging on drink, drugs, and sex once the temperature starts to rise and their weeklong break from the stresses of school affords them the freedom to sow their wild oats. Were the students in past a tamer bunch? Celebrations seem wilder these days, but some things never change — as evidenced by these vintage photos of spring breakers ready to get their party on. … Read More
Lost Photos of Kansas City's Underground Drag Scene During the 1960s
When we think of places where drag and ballroom culture has thrived, cities like New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. spring to mind — but many don't realize that there was a vibrant community in the Midwest during the '50s and '60s. In 2006, artist Robert Heishman uncovered a group of slides in a Kansas City salvage yard labeled, "Jack's Slides: Chicago and Kansas City." Heishman found a stash of images featuring beautiful drag queens, but the photographer remained a mystery. … Read More
10 Famous Musicians' Hilarious and Surprising Ad Jingles
Brand endorsement is an eternally tricky thing and can easily segue into crass commercialism if not presented thoughtfully. That's what these musicians must have struggled with when the sponsors came calling for their pound of flesh — but then again, a large paycheck is a seductive thing on its own. Here are ten stars who sang about soda, cereal, and more with dollar signs in their eyes — most of whom we never expected to see belting one out for the ad man. … Read More
Haunting Photos of Elaborate Gowns Frozen in Ice
Vancouver-based environmental artist Nicole Dextras, who we first learned about on Beautiful Decay, works with ephemeral materials such as plants, water, and flowers. For her installation series IceShifts, Dextras froze elaborate gowns in five-foot-tall blocks of ice, illuminated them at night, and photographed the results. "This frozen wardrobe acts as a metaphor for the multilayered affinities between the self and the environment," Dextras explained. "On a deeper level, the mercurial aspect of ice alludes to the transient nature of the environment and of the inherent poetic beauty of the ephemeral." The frozen dresses resemble icy sirens, dancing and drawing us near. See more of Dextras work in our gallery. … Read More

The Most Deranged Horror VHS Cover Art
Let's have a moment of silence for the granddaddy of commercial video stores: Blockbuster first opened its doors in 1985 today. Whether you rented films at your local mom and pop shop, or ventured to the chain that has been steadily fading into obscurity, movie memories were made in the aisles of those stores thanks to the visual impact of DVD and VHS cover art. VHS has been making a comeback, with multiple documentaries and limited-edition videotapes being produced in recent years, and the format reminds us of the heyday of horror cinema. With Halloween around the corner and outrageous VHS box art on the brain, we hunted for some of horror's most deranged cover images — the gory, creepy, and bizarre artwork that beckoned to audiences from the shelves of video rental stores everywhere. Travel back to the days of VHS, below, but be warned that some images may be upsetting to horror newbies. … Read More

"It's A Wonderful Lie" 100 Years of the Fed
- Nofork160
- uploaded: Dec 26, 2013
- Hits: 1376
MIRRORED@ we look back over the past hundred years, America has experienced the Great Depression, multiple recessions, stagflation and the loss of 99% of the dollars purchasing power - none of it wouldve been possible without the Federal Reserve, creating bubbles and bursting them, enslaving us with debt and destroying our purchasing power through inflationYes, its been a wonderful lie for the bankstersAnd many Americans are left like George Bailey. Facing the collapse of their dreams and financial ruinThere are striking parallels in Frank Capras Its a Wonderful Life to lies and tricks of the modern banker elite. Human nature doesnt change and the greedy elite of 1913 and 2013 look much like Potter

Face book, Rand Paul, Politico, the Red State all have petitions to audit the Fed., and they are gaining speed, and garnering attention! If enough of us tell everyone we know, twitter is a good one for that too, we can at least force an audit of the corrupt bastards who are stealing our heritage as we speak. It is amazing to me, how many people have no idea what the Fed. even is. Freedom Connector is a great site for learning about this incredibly corrupt institution. Get involved, and I know on this site there is the brain power to share the truth about these elitists, to our friends and family. I will now remove myself from atop my soapbox.Doug

"what do you mean/ praise/ lament / praise and lament / what do you mean / do you mean / beatitudes"
— Geoffrey Hill. Canaan. 1996.
On thinking
It is the law to think now. To think becomes the law, the dream of young and old alike moving together where the dark masses grow confused. We must drink the confusion, sample that other, concerted, dark effort that pushes not to the light, but toward a draft of dank, clammy air. We have broken through into the meaning of the tomb. But the act is still proposed, before us,
it needs pronouncing.

William Powell Frith was a Victorian narrative painter, a specialist in creating the storytelling images the Victorians loved. Like most of us today I'm not moved by the often maudlin or sentimental stories, but the paintings of Frith and others like him help me as a writer visualize the way women wore clothing of the period--the way they sat, bent, walked, turned, giving me a more rounded vision than I could get from (often equally unrealistic) fashion plates alone.

Stunning Stain Glass
Posted by Unknown on 9th Jul 2014
Item arrived as expected and was easy to fit to my project and install
Great window film product
Posted by Unknown on 12th Feb 2014
This product is great. Easy to apply and looks very professional. You can hardly tell that it is not real stained glass. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Excellent beautiful applique
Posted by Linda M. on 30th Aug 2013
I purchased this to cover the two side windows next to my front door. Though opaque, the film applique lets in plenty of light and is stunning, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright style. We are thoroughly and pleasantly pleased with this product and recommend it highly for its classic style, ease of application and high quality that provides the illusion of true stained glass.
As advertised
Posted by Unknown on 13th Feb 2013
Looks really nice on the window and does the job of creating privacy. Stick on superior to cling types; an HVAC vent below loosened the cling types, not this stick on.
4 stars now as only had this up a short time. 5 stars for potential longevity.
Although not a lot of money, only (unpleasant)surprise was added mfr processing fee of $3.00

The rumors around New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson are heating up again following the Knicks' latest debacle, and the embattled Woodson could find himself out of a job before the Feb. 20 trade deadline, according to Steve Popper of The Record.
With the Knicks mired in a disastrous season, Woodson has come under fire from all angles. He has been criticized for lineup choices, uninspiring late-game play-calling and a penchant to constantly switch on defense, among other things.
Perhaps the biggest issue of contention has been Woodson's insistence on playing bigger lineups instead of the smaller units featuring Carmelo Anthony at the 4 which were so successful last season. Woodson finally committed to that strategy after Andrea Bargnani injured his elbow a few weeks ago, and for a brief stretch, the Knicks looked like the Knicks of 2012-13.
But things have gone back the other way in the past two games. After losing to the Miami Heat to close out a 4-4 homestand, New York went on the road and lost to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Knicks allowed 101 points and 11 three-pointers to the Bucks, who have the worst offense and worst record in the NBA. New York has consistently had problems defending the three all year, a likely product of all the switching and poor rotations.
Earlier in the year, most of the Knicks players remained supportive of Woodson. However, that support has been dwindling as the losses have piled up. Tyson Chandler recently lamented the defensive switching strategy, and Amar'e Stoudemire expressed frustration about his playing time on Tuesday.
The Knicks still remain just two games behind the Charlotte Bobcats for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race, but the schedule is about to stiffen up. If more embarrassing losses like the one to the Bucks follow in the coming days, it might finally be sayonara for Woodson.

'That was embarrassing!' Jennifer Lawrence trips and falls as she climbs the steps to accept her Best Actress Oscar
Winning an Oscar for Best Actress is beyond doubt the biggest moment of any star's career.
But Jennifer Lawrence distracted somewhat from the honour by tripping up the stairs as she headed onto the stage to accept her Academy Award.
The 22-year-old star, who won for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, was seen momentarily hanging her head in her hands after her voluminous strapless Dior Haute Couture gown caused the mishap on the steps.
Scroll down for video...
Accidents happen: Jennifer was so pleased about her win that her fall hardly mattered
Oh no! Jennifer Lawrence falls to the floor after tripping on her floorlength gown as she climbed the stairs to accept her Best Actress Oscar in Hollywood on Sunday night
Who wouldn't fall? The beautiful Dior gown was not exactly easy for Jennifer to walk in - despite the fact that she had already chopped six inches off the bottom
The show must go on! After a brief moment to gather her thoughts, Jennifer picked herself back up and continued to the stage
Both Jennifer's Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper and her X-Men: First Class co-star Hugh Jackman were seen rushing to the actress' rescue, but Jennifer was quick to rectify the situation, declining any help as she picked herself up and continued to accept the award.
As she got back onto her feet, the star-studded audience gave the actress a standing ovation - much to the actress' embarrassment.

Despite her initial blushes, Jennifer quickly laughed off the incident and began her stream of thank yous.
'Thank you so much,' she told them. 'This is nuts. You guys are only standing up because I fell and you feel bad. That was embarrassing.'
Jennifer also thanked her
co-stars, crew and team for their support before wishing her fellow
nominee, Amour star Emmanuelle Riva a happy 86th birthday.
So embarrassed: Jennifer thanks the audience for their standing ovation as she accepts the Best Actress Oscar
Perhaps Jennifer's quick recovery is due to the fact that she's been in a very similar situation before.
At the Screen Actor's Guild Awards earlier this year, Jennifer's midnight blue Dior gown appeared to fall apart as she climbed the stairs.
Then Dior explained that the dress was made in layers, with Jennifer simply hitching up the top layer to reveal her legs.

This time the unfortunate incident could have been even worse.
The new face of Miss Dior admitted she'd actually cut off six inches from the train of the dress before the show.
'It would have been too insane,' Jennifer told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet.
Still, the dress was long enough to hide her feet and high heels, which she said she would love to take off if nobody would notice.
also revealed she had a very stressful day before the event and
admitted she hadn't had time to eat.
'I'm freaking starving,' she said.

She then pointed longingly to

swing by and pick her up a burger.
'Today was so stressful. There was everybody in, my family got ready at my house.
'I felt like Steve Martin in Father of the Bride with all the furniture being moved around my house.'

How rude! Lawrence mysteriously gave reporters the one-fingered salute backstage then joked, 'I'm sorry I did a shot before coming in'
Meanwhile backstage: Jennifer's expression to the press screamed, please don't write a million headlines about me falling down
And her family were there to watch as Jennifer accepted her award.
Her mother Karen wrapped her arms around her daughter in delight, sharing her big moment.
The actress was previously nominated in the same category two years ago for her role in Winter's Bone.
She's a vision: Photographers couldn't get enough of Jennifer's striking Dior Haute Couture creation which was reminiscent of a wedding dress
Their chemistry is undeniable: The 22-year-old shared a laugh with her Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper
Not again: Jennifer's dress appeared to rip as she climbed the stage at the SAG Awards, although Dior later explained that it was simply the way it was made
