I'm not usually the type given to flights of fancy--especially when those flights are wrought with long, boring lay-overs at Crazytown Intercontinental Airport--but does anyone else get the feeling that Todd Haley is to coaching what Serio Roma is to agents in rock-star-based-Judd-Appatow-flicks?
(Please note that the movie Get Him to the Greek is referenced in this FanPost. Though I offer no details, I do reference plot elements and themes and, as such, if you're interested in keeping the film a complete mystery until you see it, you might want to move along. Nothin' to see here.)
In case you haven't seen it yet, Get Him to the Greek is a deeply subtle comedy about the pratfalls and emotional isolation of fame and fortune. Through a series of hilarious misadventures, Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) shows out-of-control mega-star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) that true love is so very much better than all the sweet, unending, nameless three-ways-with-gorgeous-models one can handle.
:rolls eyes:
And that money isn't always the answer.
:rolls eyes:
Its nuance is matched only by its mystery.
:rolls eyes:
(Writer's Note: great film. Classic Appatow. Go see it. Unless you're offended by any of the following: poop humor, drug humor, boobies, more poop humor, more boobies, awkward threesomes, more poop humor)
All kidding aside, the film surprised me in a number of ways. First of all, the poop humor: who'd'a thought Judd Apatow would hue so blue? And secondly, I was surprised that P. Diddy could "act."
Please don't assume that when I use the word "act" that I imply he was convincing in any way. But, I didn't think the man could "hit a mark," much less "remember a line" or "breathe without having to concentrate on it first" but he did so on a number of occasions. And his character was actually funny in a kind of "angry dude with power and money" way.
In the story, Sergio Roma owns a music label and is used to dealing with talent. He's cagey and smart and driven and, after allowing Aaron a shot at corralling Snow, gives the secret to his success away to the audience: The Mind-Flip.
Two things. It's not called a Mind-Flip. However, this blog is rated TV-13 and, as such, I was forced to make certain changes to certain four letter words that might resemble the word "flip" in certain ways.
Secondly, the Mind-Flip is Roma's method of dealing with egomaniacs.
Now, I know what you're thinking. He's finally coming to the point, you're thinking. Thank all that is holy, you're thinking. He just referenced "big egos" so he must be talking about Pioli and Haley or about the guy who's always saying "big egos" when he talks about Pioli and Haley. But you're wrong. Now you're thinking that I must be talking about DJ because he's the only one left in the equation. But you're wrong again.
Ha Ha.
Last year, all of us sat in wonder as, play after play, game after game, week after soul-crushing week, Demorrio Williams and Corey Mays started while Derrick Johnson played footsies with the hottest of the cheerleaders. (PS - I have no information that he played footsies with anybody.)
Is Johnson an elite linebacker? I think the jury is way out on that. Many people have successfully made the argument that Johnson shies contact too often and that he's reactionary in pursuit. So I think calling him "elite"--or even calling him a starter on most teams in the league--is hard to do. But is Johnson a better linebacker than Mays and/or Williams? You bet.
So I think most of us would have preferred him on the field.
But looking back, was Todd Haley mind-flipping the biggest ego in the room: us?
Look, I don't think anyone can make the argument that Derrick Johnson has a big ego. He played soldier-boy very well all last year and though he made it clear he wanted to start, he never made waves bigger than the kiddie pool could handle. Pioli would have been in on it too; I'm sure of that. So Haley can't be playing him.
I think he was playing us and while I'm not ready to say he's right, I am willing to give him a chance. And here's why:
- A good coach understands his player in ways that no one else can or should, which is why the NFL issues soap-on-a-rope at rookie meetings. While I can't claim that DJ has a big ego, I think a case can be made that he might be a "fragile" player in that, were he to have a rough stretch of years, he might never recover.
- We were ridiculously thin at safety last year. I'm not one who's pissed we cut bait on Bernard Pollard; he missed more tackles than any other player on the defense. But to say he was a worse option than what we had would be stupid.
- Without making any character judgements, I think it's safe to say that, in the scope of NFL players, Derrick Johnson is a slow learner.
Put those things together: we started Clarence Thomas and a bag of dried apples at safety; play after play went down the field over the top of middle linebackers' heads with ne'er a safety to be seen; Johnson, who's a slow learner and has fragile confidence.
Bad equation. Besides, with all his considerable on-the-field deficiencies, Demorrio Williams is pretty fast. Turned out he wasn't fast enough to make up for biting on play-action even when he was on the sideline, but he was pretty fast.
Now add in Eric Berry and two healthy corners entering their third years starting. Add in a pretty good defensive coordinator. Add a second year in the system. Could this be why we're finally seeing Johnson on the field with the first team?
Furthermore, does Johnson's style fit better with a guy like Eric Berry who can maybe cover enough ground to make up for it when Johnson over commits?
In fact, I think that last point is the most important one. Remember the few times DJ was on the field last year? Yeah. Good stuff. Does Haley want to free Johnson up a little? Would it have, in fact, hurt Johnson's progress to keep him on the field last year? Would he have become too conservative? Does Haley prefer that he gamble? And does Berry's presence as a true safety valve, mean Johnson will be free to do what he did last year?
I don't know. But I sure hope so.

One Nation Under God2011 ArtPrize Entry
In the times that we are living it is challenging to teach our children what is right. As a single mother the challenge increases even more. The concept of what is right or wrong is constantly changing, it seems as if right or wrong depends on the circumstances. The ten commandments given to Moses to establish order for the people of Israel after their exodus from Egypt in search of religious freedom, takes me back to the exodus of the Mayflower from England to this land in search of religious freedom as well. Later on the constitution became what we understand as the rules of order that until this day governs us. In my opinion the foundation of moral laws are reflected on the ten commandments, "God's Character" (love and respect to Him and our neighbor). Our founders clearly knew that if we wanted to be a great prosperous nation, it would be solely achieved under God's direction. We are: "One Nation Under God", and God Bless America

Guy Who Wore a "Pregnancy Suit" Expects Us to be Impressed. Sorry, Dude.
Last week, novelist Benjamin Percy was interviewed on the TODAY show about his experience of being "man pregnant." Percy wore a Japanese-engineered pregnancy suit for nine weeks in an effort to be a better father by gaining an understanding of what women go through when they're pregnant. When I saw the story (and the smug interview), I was uneasy. Not only was the interview tediously unfunnny, Percy's pregnancy suit struck me as a rude, half-baked attempt to figure out what the hell women have been complaining about since the beginning of time. But Percy's story, originally written for GQ's humor section, isn't the first "dude tries to approximate pregnancy" experiment we've seen lately.
A few months ago, Dutch TV hosts Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno made news when they hooked themselves up to electrodes in an effort to experience "the worst pain there is": giving birth. Their two-hour simulation left them cursing, screaming, and saying it was "torture."
I appreciate that these guys are aiming for empathy. Percy's experiment and that of Dennis Storm and Valerio Zeno show that men are considerably more sensitive to women's experiences than previous generations. That's a good thing. I mean, can you imagine your grandfather willingly undergoing a birth simulation? I sure can't. Still, I can't shake off the clinging sense of resentment and weirdness I'm feeling about the experiments. The media stunts reinforce dual perceptions of pregnancy in our culture: as a horrible, painful biological process and as something special that must be protected and put on a pedestal.
Obviously, Percy's experience with the pregnancy suit is only a small part of the actual condition of being pregnant. There's a myriad of other physical symptoms he didn't deal with, from nausea and sleeplessness to swelling, heartburn, and increased urination—to name just a few. Not to mention the mental and emotional impact of pregnancy, having to think doubly hard about everything you eat, drink or do. Oh, and the teeny tiny consideration of actually getting the baby out of your body. Let's also not forget the fact that each woman's body experiences being pregnant in different ways, and that a pregnancy changes your body over time: it's not just one stagnant weight, one big unchanging belly.
Percy briefly touched on the infuriatingly-common policing of pregnant women's bodies, writing of his memories of his wife's actual pregnancy: "When you're pregnant, you become public property." But it's important to keep in mind that the pregnancy suit he wore made him a topic of public interest because he looked strange, not because everyone and their mother think they have the right to touch and talk to a pregnant woman ("Wow, you're so big you look like you're having twins! "I hope you're going to breastfeed." "Let me tell you about my friend's induction....")
The pregnancy suit GQ article purports to come out of a desire to both become a better father and to beget an understanding of pregnancy. But he writes of how surprised he was at the negative reactions the suit garnered from women he encountered: He expected to get a "pat on the back" for his efforts. Call me crazy, but that expectation doesn't seem like it's coming out of any real desire to empathize. When he was interviewed on the Today show, the host seemed to have a better understanding as to why women took issue with the suit. Benjamin Percy's humor fell flat when he told the leery-looking host he did it to "make up for my mouth-breathing, hairy-chested, caveman deficiencies." Surprise, surprise—Percy has no future plans to spend any more time in the pregnancy suit.
Percy also told the show that wearing the pregnancy suit proved to him that he's not "man enough to be a woman." Yikes. Way to cancel out your apparently good intentions. Ultimately, gimmicky stunts like this one and the labor simulation by the Dutch TV show hosts only prove that simulation of pregnancy and birth experiences just serve to provide a man with a story to tell—a man's story that doesn't bring anyone, not even the men themselves, closer to empathy.

I think this is a really good
I think this is a really good example of a privileged person thinking he has to validate the experiences of a minority. Rather than accepting stories of pregnant individuals that yes, carrying and giving birth to a child is a difficult process, he had to experience it for himself, seemingly to give the claim validity.
It's the same story played out over and over; a white woman wears a hijab to experience islamophobia, a wealthy white man lives on minimum wage for a month, and here we have men simulating pregnancy and birth in an effort to validate the stories of others. I do appreciate that they tried, but isn't it enough to listen to and believe the stories of minority groups?
I just needed to say one
I just needed to say one thing: Preach.
Well said. What also bugs me
Well said. What also bugs me about stunts like this is, they suggest that we can't possibly comprehend another person's emotions to even the smallest extent without experiencing the same thing (or something similar) ourselves. That's a really limited understanding of empathy. Any person with some imagination can understand why others might feel the way they do. I've never lost a parent, for example, but when friends of mine have lost a mom or dad, I am capable of imagining what that might feel like and to have compassion for them.
If a man is around a woman as her body changes throughout a pregnancy, birth, and all that comes after that--which the pregnancy suit guy has!--and can't fathom why it's difficult and intensely emotional, he's an idiot. But then again, as a culture, we tend to talk about men as if they ARE emotionally stunted idiots; if you CAN comprehend why a woman feels the way she does about something happening to her body...dude, are you, like, gay or something? Gag.
It does not have to be this way. And we do not need stupid experiments with labor pains and pregnancy suits to change that. Compassion has no gender.
There's a lot of assumptions
There's a lot of assumptions Benjamin Percy makes when wearing a pregnancy suit is his "effort to be a better father by gaining an understanding of what women go through when they're pregnant." How does the experience of pregnancy make anyone a good parent? Do people who parent but did not experience pregnancy practice bad parenting? And, since parenting continues until parents and children are no longer living, how does a nine-week experience of wearing a pregnancy suit support good parenting? And how does a corporeal experience influence parenting skills; good parenting involves emotions, and, while emotions can be products of how our bodies are feeling, Percy needs to do more deep-digging beyond that post-pregnancy suit deep-tissue massage.
Also, let's just look at the term "man pregnant" for a second. Do we need to have a "woman sweaty balls" or "woman erection in public during unfortunate times" experiment in order to understand what men go through? No, because women don't need to experience what men go through in their daily lives, just like I don't need to experience what a deep-sea diver or a tow-truck driver or a dental hygienist experiences daily in order to empathize, validate emotions, and offer support when asked for it.
And, while I'm not surprised, the depth of the ciscentric, gender-conforming point-of-view within this scenario really concerns me. So much privilege is taking place here.
I just wanted to point out
I just wanted to point out that some of us women do have those above stated "men" experiences. But ultimately i agree with you and like that you point to the ciscentricity of the situation.
Man pregnant
He should have told people he was single or considering having an abortion: Get the "First Hand experience" in being haggled by the Pro-Life idiots..
I'm more concerned about the suit: What the fuck?!
How did he even find the right people in Japan to construct a High-Tech pregnancy suit for some half assed experiment? Couldn't the money/technology better serve {oh, I dunno} creating a fully efficient, healthy measure of contraception?!
Do they just sell these things on a Tokyo street corner to every bumbling American tourist or something?
Here's a cringeworthy Esquire article by Pregnancy Suit Guy
i'd like to think this is satiric, but I'm not sure it is. It's very possible the writer is just a sexist caveman who can't write:
This thing is big. Its Cummins turbodiesel -- normally relegated to commercial rigs -- has 610 pound-feet of torque and can tow 16,900 pounds. Look at it -- a civilian tank waxed to a sexy gleam -- and you think of Arnold firing assault rifles.
Before climbing in, I cop a feel, run my hands along her tow hooks, mount her eight-foot bed, peer under her running boards as if they were a skirt.
When I start her up, she lets out a sharp snarl that settles into a steady growl. I mash the gas, expecting a slow moaning acceleration, but this pickup has pickup. Within a few seconds, I'm gunning along at eighty, scaring cars to the side of the road, throwing up rooster tails of slush and mud. I pick up my buddy Jeremy, who shakes his head at the sight of the Ram and whistles, "That's one big truck." I feel a ridiculous sort of pride, as if we're in the locker room.

Pick 4 riders for the stage, the order of your picks doesn't matter. All your riders can score.
Riders score points down to 10th place. Less popular riders score more points than heavily-picked favorites. See below for scoring details.
The strict entry deadline is the official start time of the stage. There's no disadvantage to getting your entry in early, since you may always change your picks before the deadline. Feel free to revise your picks when you see which riders are more or less popular with other players. Post changes in a reply to your original post.
The top 10 finishers score points according to this basic scale from race winner down to 10th place:
However, if riders of all abilities scored the same, we'd all just be picking the big favorites all the time. So we multiply the scale above by a rider's payoff percentage based on the number of players that pick him. More picks, lower payoff. The highest possible payoff for a really unlikely outsider picked by less than 5% of players is 100% of the scale above; the lowest possible payoff for a hot favorite picked by more than 80% of players is 15% of the the scale above.
For example, here's the result from Stage 1:
If you're not familiar with this kind of scoring scheme from previous games, just play along for a few stages and it will soon make sense. All you need to do is pick 4 riders that you like for the stage - maybe go for two obvious favorites and try two outsiders that you fancy for a decent top-10 result.

A benefit fund has been established by the family of Thomas Sonnenberg, who was shot and killed while trying to help a 20-year-old man who came to his door pleading for help last Friday, Jan. 31.
Thomas Sonnenberg Benefit
Bremer Bank (any branch)
Account No. 781266658
Funeral services for Thomas Sonnenberg will be held Saturday, Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. at Washburn-McReavy in Coon Rapids, Minn.
"Real kind person, very gentle," relative Leland Baldwin said. "He'd give you the shirt off his back if he could and he'd do anything for you."
Devon Parker, 20, is charged with second-degree murder in Sonnenberg's death. He is being held at Hennepin County Jail, with bail set at $2 million
According to the charges, Minneapolis police were called to Sonnenberg's home on Aldrich Ave. N. after he called 911 to report a man had come to his door seeking refuge from people chasing him with a bat.
Sonnenberg allowed Parker into his home and locked the door behind him. Both were in the kitchen when Sonnenberg called 911 at about 11:46 a.m.
Investigators said Parker tried to confuse the dispatcher by grabbing the phone and giving police the wrong address before grabbing the gun Sonnenberg wore on his hip. Roughly 5 minutes later, a Minneapolis officer responding to the initial call knocked on the door but did not get an answer. After looking through a window, that officer saw Sonnenberg's body slumped over a chair in the kitchen.

Musings on the 'Post' Iraq piece
by skeptic06, Thu May 03, 2007 at 09:28:43 AM EDT
I'm not rushing to judgement on what do the Dems do now? - a piece of self-restraint aided no end by the fact that, as of now, I haven't the faintest idea.
Today's gobbet feeding interest in the question is the Post piece that Jonathan talks about.
What gives? One of the comments flags a TPM piece which takes the story on a little.
As with all of these pieces reliant on blind quotes for their oomph, you have to read them closely.
(They're in code - but use plain English words (to fool the unwary).)
First, it's on the front page (the Post site tells where in the dead-tree paper its pieces run, the Times site doesn't); and the hed (the copyeditor's domain, not the scribe's, of course) is entirely free from qualification.
Clearly, senior editorial management were not only happy that the story was sound, but deliberately made it a splash (like they did with the Walter Reed stories).
(Had they wanted to run with it, but without a splash - well, that's what A17 is for!)
The lede is similarly unqualified - no reference, for example, to sourcing, which might have suggested that paper was happy to report the story as a story told to us - but weren't happy to adopt the story as its own understanding of what is going on.
Reid and Pelosi are quoted given their post Bush meeting boilerplate - whatever you say, say nothing! - and there's a couple of words from Bush.
Then (in graf 5) the mildly interesting stuff comes in: the quote from Inglis of SC. (What he says may be mere bloviation, or disinformation, or coat-trailing from a segment of the GOP - or he may just be a rentaquote willing to oblige with a few words in exchange for the publicity.)
Graf 7 moves the piece towards treating the parties' options - check: the Dems' options. (They do have majorities in both houses, after all!)
Benchmarks for the Iraqi government have been (my not terribly assiduous reading over the past few days) the common ground that folks from both parties have identified as the basis of an agreement.
Hoyer, Durbin and Snowe are quoted making positive noises on benchmarks. Even the WH is prepared to consider them, it says.
On the negative side (at grafs 14/15), we have Feingold (on the record) and Obey (off?) offering a threat to the Dems' left flank should the leaderships decide on putting forward a supplemental bill with a weakened text.
Finally, the piece confirms (not a surprise!) that some GOP MCs won't vote for any bill with any sort of benchmark text.
So - the quotes in the body of the piece go some way to provide a context for the bald statement in the lede - they explain the difficulties the leaderships face that might lead them to proffer a weaker bill - but give no support for the assertion that the concession has actually been made.
(It's clear from the lede that it's not talking about a proposal being kicked about by Dem leaders; or one agreed by them, but no yet put on the table with WH negotiators: offering, in context, can only mean the Dems told the WH guys so.)
Now, I'm not suggesting that there was any possibility that the Post could have got anyone from the leaderships to go on the record to annouce the concession. (If, indeed, such a concession has been made.)
But - my understanding is that both the Times and the Post have striven in recent years (post-Jayson Blair, etc) to give some information in the piece about the level and job of the guy giving the blind quote.
It's a bit of a farce; but it does at least show the rags at least nodding towards the reader's desire not to be hornswaggled.
Nothing of the sort in the Iraq piece.
Go to the TPM piece; the blogger gets a denial statement from Pelosi's office, and
a source in Reid's office tells me the following: "No decisions have been made on this yet. No options have been ruled in or out."
You will of course savor the irony that this itself is a blind quote!
One of the journos emails the blogger in response:
That is very interesting, since I was told in no uncertain terms by one of her aides that the withdrawal dates had to go, since they could not stand by language Bush would never sign. That was co[n]firmed by another senior leadership aide and two members of the leadership.
I can say with no reluctance whatsoever that we stand by the story. By the way, nobody has contacted me about it. That should tell you a lot.
Why didn't he give sourcing details in the piece?
How wide does leadership go? We're not talking about some lowest form of life whip or something, surely?
My tentative conclusion: the editors wouldn't have splashed the piece if they weren't convinced that the sourcing was kosher.
It could, of course, be a hit piece engineered by the Post off its own bat.
It could be part of a power struggle within the Dem leaderships for control over handling of the Iraq issue.
It could be a trick to lull GOP leaders into a false sense of security. (That stinks - but, for the sake of completeness...)
It could be (at least the Catholics say that the age of miracles is not dead!) that everyone is talking with complete sincerity.
That's as far as my musings take me.

The art of presenting a property for sale is an important one to master. Presentation is often the reason that two properties that appear the same on paper sell for vastly different prices.
We do not always recommend that you spend substantial amounts on major improvements. However, each home is different and your Lodge representative will discuss what improvements are necessary to maximise your value.
At Lodge we have identified space, physical presentation and the atmosphere you create as the three critical factors which effect the emotional response of a buyer to your home. Below we have listed some general handy hints you may wish to consider.
1. Physical Appearance
First impressions count...
These are the two questions that should be considered when assessing your homes desirability to a buyer.
2. Atmosphere
Never under estimate the role emotion plays when buying a house.
3. Space
More often than not, particularly with people trading up, buyers are looking for more space. It is very important to make each room appear as spacious as possible.
We suggest you discuss the best way to present your property for sale with your Lodge representative.

Thomasville--William Reddock was arrested at his home in Grady county last night around 6:00 p.m. after authorities spent much of the day tracking him down.
The woman told investigators Reddock came into her home around 12:30 a.m. Sunday night. At gunpoint he made her go the garage attacked her. The victim said Reddock did not leave until 7:00 a.m., thats when she notified investigators and they were able to track him down.
Thomas County sheriff's investigator Jason Carroll says, "Its not a good situation to begin with. Their children were at the home, she did not want to frighten them, alarm them, anything to happen. She didn't want them to be a witness to anything that was going on."
Reddock is being held in the Thomas County jail.

Hale County falls short against Lamar County
Sat. October 27, 2012 at 12:24 a.m. | By Morgan Upton

MOUNDVILLE | The Lamar County Bulldogs came back from a one-point halftime deficit and spoiled the Hale County Wildcats' senior night with an 18-13 win in a Class 2A, Region 4 game Friday night.
Hale County had one last chance with just under three minutes on the clock. A 25-yard run by quarterback Deacon Medders moved the ball to the Wildcats' 42, but two plays that resulted in 12 yards of losses put the Wildcats in a third-and-22 situation. Medders threw a 12-yard pass to Evan Junkin, but his pass on fourth-and-10 fell incomplete.
Hale County coach Joey Milligan thought his team, especially the 14 seniors, deserved praise.
"I'm proud of the team," Milligan said. "They played hard. I'm proud of the seniors for playing hard, I just hate we came out on the short end."
Scoring on a 10-yard touchdown catch by Aaron Sheffield, Hale County took a 7-6 lead into halftime.
After holding the Bulldogs on their first drive of the second half, the Wildcats started their first drive of the half at their own 7-yard line. On third-and-10 Medders had an 18-yard run to keep the drive alive. Two plays later he threw a 49-yard pass to Charles Yawn. Grant Stevens followed up the big play with a 20-yard touchdown run to put the Wildcats up 13-6.
The Bulldogs responded with a 52-yard touchdown pass from Dallas Cockerham to Brandon Walker.
On the ensuing kickoff, Hale County fumbled the ball at its own 25. Nine plays later the Bulldogs scored on a 2-yard run. After a failed point-after attempt, Lamar County led 15-13.
Milligan said his team made decent adjustments at halftime, but big plays changed the game.
"We played tough in the first half," Milligan said. "Their second drive of the second half, we didn't see the guy move to the sideline. It was a trick play of sorts and we didn't cover it like we should have."
Hale County (4-5, 4-3) travels to Sipsey Valley next Friday. Lamar County (7-2, 6-1) hosts Winfield.

If one's mental illness could be cured by a single pill, would you choose to do so?
In the talk by Elyn Saks, Seeing Mental Illness, she mentioned that, if a complete and permanent cure was offered, she would take it.
I found this sentiment highly interesting for many reasons. I am a high-funtioning autistic person with Obsessive Compulsive disorder. My symptoms are not debilitating, but they have had a profound impact on the way I live my life. I'm no stranger to social rejection and high-anxiety.
That being said, if I were offered an complete and permanent cure for my condition... I can say that for my anxiety issues at least, I might be interested. However, despite the focus on a cure for autism in the public sphere, I would approach a cure for my autism with extreme reluctance. For myself, there is to deep a connection between what are considered to be clinical signs of autism and what I would consider to be my personality, my "self."
I suppose that this difference in opinion is related to our own individual experiences with the unique manifestations of our conditions. My own condition occationally strips me of control, but never in so stark a manner as discribed by Saks in her talk.
I would be interested in hearing others views on this topic.

Jul 8 2012: If the mental illness such as schizophrenia, I would take the pill. However, if one can come out of mental illness with help of medication then, depending on the time to recover, I would not. In the book "Great of Choice", I totally agree with Jim Collin's Epilogue. I agree and believe we all encounter good and bad lucks but when we encountered bad luck, we should not wallow in it. How we react to it define and shape who we are. There are people who will help you get through it.

Hello all,
In honor of the TBJ's 1000th episode I purpose a question to the BE-ers that I once threw at Tas Melas (of the TBJ.)
What would be the best team in the NBA if it was constructed as just the top 5 in each position? So you could have a team of 5 PG vs 5 Centers, or an all SG vs SF match u. Given the current crop of NBA players who do you think would prevail?
For this exercise let's have everyone only available at their NATURAL position. So Timmy is a PF, Lebron is a SF etc... Regular NBA rules, play to 25.
Is it as simple as any team with Lebron would win? Would the Centers be able to keep the ball away from everyone else or would the PG's ball movement be too good to stop?
I'll post Tas's response later on.
*EDIT So does anyone's answer change if they play a half court set where the winner keeps the ball?

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Some Texas Tech students say their bus caught on fire during a trip to Colorado. The students were returning Monday from a skiing trip when the bus caught fire. Several of the students on board were members of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. Ross Brock spoke with KCBD News Channel 11 on his cell phone and gave us an eyewitness account of what happened.
"I'm in the 2nd row from the front of the bus and I see smoke and everyone in the back just stand up cause I'm thinking we just have to get out of here cause we don't know if its going to blow up," Ross Brock said.
The bus left from Telluride, Colorado at about 10 o'clock Mountain time and the students were just an hour into the trip home when the bus stalled.
"We hear someone yell its smoking there's smoke! So everyone just runs outside and we tried to get as far away as possible," Brock said.
He said it was only a few minutes before the smoke turned into a very serious fire and destroyed most of their belongings.
"There were a couple of bags on the floor boards that made it but that whole area above the seats got torched."
Brock says they had no way to call 911 because they had no cell phone service. "There's no service where we are and so luckily a couple of locals who stopped by. One of them ended up having service and they called 911."
"From the site we got buses to take us backwards about 5 minutes and we've been in this town for about five hours," Russ Brock said.
He is happy everyone is ok, but after this incident he doesn't plan to take a bus trip again anytime soon. "I don't plan on going on another charter bus, unless I have to. I definitely don't want to."
Cell phone pictures indicate the bus was completely consumed by fire.
No one was injured but some belongings including cell phones and laptops were destroyed. The students say the company that owns the bus is Alliance Charter Buses located in Ft. Worth. We tried to contact them for a comment but were unable to reach them during office hours.

Don't even have to read the whole article... it's bogus man...thankfully this is not something the states can just vote in. Don't they know that... oh..their too busy getting high to think about that.
Besides, you can't just drink alcohol anywhere, I bet they are too stoned to think of that...

Shocker: Windows 8 is not selling because hardware is not available.
When I learned about Windows 8 a year ago, I hold my purchase of a new laptop waiting for an affordable touch screen anabled one. This is what any informed customer would have done without doubt, but, since Windows 8 launched, hardware has been very limited in supply and lead times are outrageous.
One of the options I considered was the XPS 12, a beautiful device with a tablet mode what despite been heavy and less than ideal for a full time tablet, it works like one when you want it to. If you go ahead and try to order one, the estimated shipping date is Jan 13, 2013... in my country at least, the only option avaliable is the Vaio Duo 11 that sells for 1600 USD, and it appears to be similar for the rest of the touch screen laptops. This situation, first highlighted by best buy was made cleared by the IDC:
"Touch machines are actually selling above expectations," said Bob O'Donnell, a program vice president at IDC.
And that means supply shortages. "Some vendors are actually facing shortages because touch panels are in limited supply. Vendors are saying they can't get as many touch-based machines as they would like to meet the demand that they're seeing."
This is not good news at all for the PC industry, it gives hints of hope in the future but it does not solve the current demand issues that now "legacy" non touch enabled hardware sitting in shelves have.
I would blame it on OEM's as they should have been ready for the transition a lot sooner.
At least we now know that there demand for touch screen laptops and convertibles, and knowing this OEMs should be hard at work to bring innovative new products in the up comming quarters for this nacent category.

- HI in local group analogs: what does it tell us about galaxy formation?
- Author(s)
- Pisano, Daniel J.; Barnes, David G.; Gibson, Brad K.; Staveley-Smith, Lister; Freeman, Kenneth C.; Kilborn, V. A.
- Abstract
- We present the results of our HI survey of six loose groups of galaxies analogous to the Local Group. The survey was conducted using the Parkes telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array to produce a census of all the gas-rich galaxies and potential analogs to the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) within these groups down to MHI ≤ 107M⊙as a test of models of galaxy formation. We present the HI mass function and halo mass function for these analogous groups and compare them with the Local Group and other environments. We also demonstrate that our non-detection of HVC analogs in these groups implies that they must have low HI masses and be clustered tightly around galaxies, including around our own Milky Way, and are not distributed throughout the Local Group.

Absolutely love them, sps colors amazing with good growth. I did start off with 9 units but went on to 12 units, most people with sps always warn you about the intensity of the light but if your tank is under 400w metal halide and you start running leds on 20 - 30% intensity I will guarantee your sps will start to take a hit(browning out) you should keep them on the same schedule as the metal halides and have 2-3 hours for ramp up and down(sun raise and sun set) but left them up 5-10 inches where the halide was for a while and slowly lower them down. Amazing By Carlo on 4/19/2012 Carlo would recommend this product to a friend These things are perfect. Whoever previously said under these reviews that SPS don't do well under these has other issues than lighting. My SPS, LPS and Softies grow like crazy and have AMAZING color. I would NEVER buy anything else. No heat and amazing colors!! NEEDS MORE RESEARCH By H. BAGG on 4/18/2012 H. BAGG would recommend this product to a friend It took 6 units before i could make 4 of them work properly, not a very good introduction to AI, but they have been working for a few months and My power bill dropped $55 per month every thing seems to be enjoying the new light, did some acro fragging and they skinned over in just a few days. still running less than 50 % . Great for LPS, ZOAS, Be carefuls on SPS By Ray on 3/15/2012 Ray would recommend this product to a friend I have had these for over a year. It took most of my SPS about 8 months to adjust. The fact is they are great for giving amazing color for the tank especial with zoa, acans, and many other LPS. As far as SPS i don't think the technology is perfected yet. I do believe they will be way of the future for this coral just not yet. Overall if you love softies and amazing florescent colors the only way to go is Aqua illumination. Wanted to like it By Nathan on 3/1/2012 Nathan wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Bottom line is the product is made well and in theory is just awesome. I love the control you have but my corals didn't like the light. I spent 4 months trying to dial in the correct combo of intensity and time but my corals suffered the entire time. I finally went back to T5s and they are looking great again. KILLER By Conor on 1/11/2012 Conor would recommend this product to a friend I love these. The fully controllable option makes them ideal fro any reef tank. Also instead of that core Montserrat under your tank you can have just this with it's win bult in timers well worth every penny!!!! great product By Jason on 11/23/2011 Jason would recommend this product to a friend Excellent build quality and flawless performance. There is a reason the SOL is what every other LED is compared to. And with the recent price drop it now makes this lighting system even more desirable. One word of caution - these things are WAY more powerful than they appear. Acclimate your corals slowly or you will bleach them! Very good quality By John on 11/10/2011 John would recommend this product to a friend I like this LED very good quality with optional controller you can control how much light output you want. great SPS growth By rburton on 4/9/2011 rburton would recommend this product to a friend I got my Sol system from Aqua Illuminations in Feb. I still havent' been able to turn them all the way up. They are so powerful I had to leave them at 50% white 80% blue or my corals would bleach. the thunderstorms are interesting too.. you can program them to do anything - including following the moon phases with the night lights, and have a 30% chance of showers..

One East Texas school has a lot to celebrate now that summer is over.
Students at St. Gregory Cathedral School, in Tyler, helped set a new world record for summer reading, making 2012 the biggest summer of reading ever.
Through the Scholastic Summer Challenge' students read over the summer, logged their minutes and the top 20 schools with the highest minutes won.
A total of 193,000 kids representing all 50 states and 25 countries read and logged an impressive 95,859,491 minutes for the summer of 2012.
Here in East Texas the students at St. Gregory Cathedral School read more than 1,200,000 minutes alone.
"The Scholastic Summer Challenge is a challenge that the kids have. They read every single day. When they read they log in minutes, how long they've read and throughout the summer it keeps a counting record of that," says librarian, Janet Simpson.
The challenge is designed to keep kids reading and having fun while preventing the "summer slide" - the loss of academic skills when students are not in school. At the end of the summer, minutes from all participating schools are tallied, and the top 20 schools are announced.
"So I looked at the top 20 schools to see if we could really compete because there's middle schools and intermediate schools where everyone in the school reads. I looked at it and found schools, looked at the minutes just kind of crunched the numbers, and saw that if my kids read about 15 minutes a day we could beat that years worlds record," says Simpson.
"Well I like to read and once I get into a book a really like I can just read for hours and hours," 5th grader, Evan Von Eschenbach
"We went on vacation a lot so it was really easy to read because sometimes when I would get bored I would take a book and start reading because when you read a book it's like playing a movie in your head," says 4th grader, Amelia Ministoeloi.
The top 20 schools get their names published in the Scholastic Book of World Records.
In the 2012 book, St. Gregory Cathedral School ranked as number 4 for the summer of 2011.
"Their name is in the book which is great because it's nice to be in a world record book kids love world record books especially one you're in," says Simpson.
"I was like 'yes,' I'm finally going to be in a book," says Ministoeloi.
St. Gregory Cathedral School will also be coming out in the Book of World Records 2013 for their 2012 summer reading.
Parents who might want to get involved, but their student's school does not offer the program, you can always sign up individually by going to Scholastic online.

Great American Casino brings a little bit of Vegas to the Northwest, gathering hooting and hollering patrons around table games such as baccarat, Texas Hold 'Em, blackjack, and other styles of poker, such as Progressive Fortune Pai Gow. Most tables have a betting limit up to $300, and aside from the top-shelf thrill of walking away with the pot, regular players can earn rewards redeemable toward electronics, meals, hotel stays, and Great American merchandise.
Like the best Vegas casinos, Great American brings more to the table than just gambling. There's live entertainment most nights, including local bands and musicians from Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are full-service dining rooms where the menus also bear an Asian influence, with dishes such as pad thai and Kalbi ribs. The menus are slightly different at each of the four locations, but generally encompass an international spread that might include pizza, pub-style fish 'n' chips, and creme brulee, much like the meatloaf served in the United Nation's cafe.
In the lobby of Helen Wax Spa, a waterfall burbles down an etched glass pane and into a stone basin. The water's quiet murmur sets the tone for a space that is at once bold and soothing—modern artwork hangs on yellow, orange, and red walls and soft rays of sunlight stream in from floor-to-ceiling windows. Just beyond the main space, Helen and her technicians administer body waxing and facials for both male and female clients. Their specialty treatments use vitamin C to brighten, glycolic acid to exfoliate, and seaweed to calm and soothe the skin. And inside the onsite boutique hair salon, stylists perform cuts, color treatments, and emergency hair extensions for balding Barbie dolls.
True to its name, A Bit of Europe Spa & Wax borrows elements from Europe to beautify and pamper its clients. The spa experts call on salt from Greece to detoxify and exfoliate the skin, and mud from Italy to draw out impurities. The spa's collection of French aromatherapy wafts relaxing scents through the air while clients enjoy a facial, bask in a body wrap, or try to remember what lavender smells like.
Clients relax as they sip frothy beers and tart ciders amid the elegant white décor of The Wax Bar's lobby before following aestheticians back to a private treatment room for one of a broad repertoire of signature hair-removal services. Staff at The Wax Bar's two locations aim to make waxing or sugaring a luxurious and dignified experience, soothing clients' jangling nerves with drinks from the wet bar. Each aesthetician boasts a repertoire of discomfort-minimizing tricks to ensure sugaring and waxing services for men and women's brows, backs, and bikinis go as swiftly and painlessly as possible. After follicles have said their tearful goodbyes to unwanted hair, aestheticians apply aftercare products and advise clients on the best way to reduce irritation on freshly bare skin. Staff members also offer facials whose targeted therapies incorporate products from Dermalogica and Aveda.

Power to the Pixel's Pixel Market Now Open for Submissions, £6,000 Prize Up for Grabs
I had a project selected for Power to the Pixel a few years ago and the event, which takes in London in October, was a great and educational experience. If you're got a project that seeks to push the boundaries of a what a traditional film is — call it transmedia or interactive or cross-media — I definitely recommend checking out the submission details, which are below. Deadline is July 20 and it's open to entries from all over the world; if selected, you pitch your project at the Pixel Pitch during the BFI London Film Festival, and the winner takes home a £6,000 ARTE Pixel Pitch Prize. There are also a few new prizes this year. More »
Catch Power to the Pixel and IFP's 'Cross-Media Forum' Live Online Tuesday
I'll be in the audience tomorrow at Power to the Pixel's joint event with IFP, the Cross-Media Forum. The entire transmedia conference will be streamed live here, so tune in between the hours of 9am and 5pm if you'd like to attend virtually (the schedule can be found here). The official word: "Featuring an impressive array of storytelling experts from the worlds of film, games, advertising, interactive, the IFP / Power to the Pixel Cross-Media Forum is a not-to-be-missed event. If you can't make it to New York, you can watch events unfold right here from the comfort of your own chair from 09.00 – 17.00 EST."
Seen: PressPausePlay - Ted Hope
Independent producer Ted Hope (Adventureland, 21 Grams, In the Bedroom, and seemingly a thousand other films) is expanding the perception of what "independent film" is and how it should be distributed. I had a chance to sit down with him at Power To The Pixel, where he gave me some very valuable advice; we share the same view of independent film, that with crisis comes opportunity. Ted's been very generous on his Truly Free Film blog by sharing advice like Ten things to do before you submit a script and Display your value: you are different from them, as well as asking pertinent questions such as What defines an event? In short, his blog is a must-read for independent filmmakers. Here, he answers some questions for the forthcoming film Press/Pause/Play. More »
Reflections on the Pixel Pitch and the transmedia market
Despite the fact that Zack and I have been pitching and developing our transmedia project Third Rail for over a year, it was a mad rush to pull together a trailer and rehearse our presentation for yesterday's first annual Pixel Pitch here in London. During this process, which we had to conduct virtually — with him in New York, and myself temporarily in North Carolina — we considered a few different approaches to our verbal sell, some more theatrical and some more straightforward. Ultimately we went with the straightforward approach, and, in retrospect, that was probably a mistake. More »
Power to the Pixel
Zack and I are excitedly headed to London this week for the Power to the Pixel Cross-Media Film Forum, which opens the Times BFI London Film Festival. There, we will be pitching our next project, Third Rail, to a very qualified jury and a sold-out audience of 200; we're seeking funding and distribution for our ambitious (and long-time-coming) transmedia undertaking, which I'm sure you'll hear more about here in the coming weeks. 120 applicants applied for the Pixel Pitch and we are fortunate enough to be among the seven projects selected. There are a lot of great speakers and events at the conference, so if you're in London, head on down!

Question: How does Markham Arboretum's nursery differ from retail nurseries?
Speaking off-the-cuff: Astrid Jansen, clinical lab scientist at John Muir Health; Barbara Hopkin, retired 40-year California state employee; Susana de Trapaga, architectural draftsmen. Click on the VIDEO to see and hear their answers.
Concord Connections: They all volunteer at Markham Nature Park and Arboretum's nursery in Concord and frequent businesses in the area, including Pasta Prima Vera, Costco and Navalet's.
Reporter's Notes: Markham Nature Park and Arboretum is a 16-acre sanctuary that is open to the public for the demonstration, collection and preservation of plants adaptable to our inland region. People can visit the park for free to see a nature park, community garden and international garden. The Garden Center and Nursery sells plants Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to noon. The plants are propagated and grown on the site. Many are California natives and all are inexpensive.
About this Column: Janice Wells asks people who live, work or hang out in Concord to answer serious questions.

What happens when you party too hard?
When I got on the train this morning I was a bit tired. Conductor Miguel was collecting tickets and asked me if something was wrong. I told him I was just tired. Jokingly, he told me I shouldn't have partied so hard last night, and that there of course are always consequences. I wasn't partying last night, but I am certain that some people were. And I saw the aftermath of it on the platform (oh yes, there was vomit!), and in the waiting room…
It isn't St. Pat's anymore… get rid of your beads, your pizza box, and wake up!
Because I am in an amusing mood this morning, I figured I'd post some of my favorite photos of passed out people in the waiting room.
And as a special bonus… here is a picture of a train sleeper and some great ad placement.
If only there was some sort of drink that could possibly wake you up…
Have a great day everyone!

Springs Eternal. »
By Dave P on Apr 17, 2013 in Sappy Stuff, Weird Stuff | 5 Comments
I was running the trail in Lower Chester this morning when I glimpsed something odd out of the corner of my eye . Looking down, I beheld this bewildering loose sprig laying right in the middle of the trail. Quite real, and I can't even begin to explain it. But at this moment, in the latter half of April, as winter is pumping yet another shell into the chamber, I offer it that it might elicit the same emotion it stirred in me: hope.
Not-So-Perfect Duluth Comet »
By Dave P on Mar 16, 2013 in Current Events, Geeky | 3 Comments
Finally. Clear skies after sunset allowing my first, eagerly anticipated view of Comet PANSTARRS over Duluth. Sigh. Unfortunately, PANSTARRS isn't really delivering the goods. I took these pictures Saturday night about 45 minutes after sunset, looking due west over the UMD campus, and trust me, even though the comet was visible to the naked eye, the photos are better than what I could see, even with binoculars. Still, if you get a chance (and the weather Gods permit) I recommend checking this underachieving celestial visitor out.
Even though it's not a spectacular comet by any stretch of the imagination (stay tuned for Comet ISON, coming this Thanksgiving) PANSTARRS won't be back again for another 100,000 years, and physically contemplating something so ephemeral is kinda cool. Although it's slowly fading, the comet should be visible for the next week or two.
Here's a link to the DNT's Astro Bob and his guide showing how to find it, if you're so inclined.

Upper Chester: Not so fast there people! »
By Dave P on Dec 3, 2012 in Bitching, Current Events, Politics, Sports | 35 Comments
Duluth took a beating this past year. But thanks to everyone pulling together we've made a remarkable comeback. For proof, you don't have to look any further than Chester Park. Thanks to the indefatigable Dan Proctor and others the Lower Chester trails are probably in better shape than they were before the floods of June, and that's saying a lot considering the scope of the mudflows and washouts that ravaged pretty much every inch of the ravine.
Upper Chester, however, is another story. Despite good intentions, there's been a lot of jumping the gun to clean up or improve things that one could make the argument has ended up doing more harm than good. I'm not going to run down the list, but the latest chapter seems to have taken place largely under the radar, and I think it deserves a public airing.

I've been watching that god-awful fortress of a retaining wall around the London Road McDonald's slowly bulge outward over the past months with a mixture of bemused amazement and horror. Now comes word via the News Tribune that the wall is being knocked down and rebuilt … as part of a cosmetic enhancement?
Homemade Tom & Jerry Batter »
By Dave P on Dec 14, 2011 in Uncategorized | 15 Comments
OK gang, due to the volume of discussion and frustration regarding Connelly's vs. Mrs Bowen's vs. Flaherty's, I've taken it upon myself to root out a decent recipe for homemade Tom & Jerry batter. Here's the result of my research and experimentation (it should be noted that I pilfered 95 percent of this from an online recipe):
12 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound butter, room temperature
3 pounds powdered sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
Beat egg whites and salt in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form (when you lift your beater straight up the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape).
Beat the egg yolks to soft peaks in a separate bowl. Beat the butter and powdered sugar in another large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix. Stir in the cloves, allspice, and the egg whites; beat until well blended. Batter can be frozen or kept in refrigerator for several weeks.
To make a Tom and Jerry, put one jigger of dark rum and one jigger of brandy in a coffee cup, add a heaping tablespoon of batter, fill the cup with boiling water and garnish with a little ground nutmeg (most aficionados consider it a sacrilege to stir the batter, but I have one friend who won't have it any other way).
Heaven!! A true PDD (Perfect Duluth Dram). And it only took me a half hour or so to whip up (plus this recipe makes a lot — several weeks worth for our household and a rotating cast of holiday guests). Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. My wife, upon hearing the recipe, remarked, "That's cake frosting! No wonder people love it!"
One final caveat: use pasteurized eggs, available at Cub Foods, but — curiously — not at Mount Royal, last time I looked.
Cheers, and happy holidays!
What's with all the Skeeters?! »
By Dave P on Aug 28, 2011 in Bitching, Creepy Stuff | 53 Comments
Has anybody else being driven crazy by all the mosquitoes in Duluth the past week?! Seriously, it's like Alaska out there. I can't work in the yard without getting drained. I can't ever remember it being this bad. Theories? (Sustained west winds? Moth spraying killed all the dragonflies? Hurricane Irene sucking them all down from northern Canada?)
Lost Keys Near Chester Bowl? »
By Dave P on May 29, 2011 in Lost and Found | 4 Comments
Is there anybody (or do you know anybody) who lost car keys near Chester Bowl in the last day or two? If so, some kind soul has hung them by their lanyard at the Kent Rd. end of the retaining wall fence along the road through the bowl. Been there since yesterday (Friday). Cheers.

The mother, Leona (Quinlan), escapes to Jamaica to grieve the loss of her baby daughter. While there she meets kindly housekeeper Clara Mayfield (played by Goldberg). Clara pulls Leona out of her depression with a blunt, no-nonsense style. Leona is so taken with her that she brings Clara back to the States, Baltimore to be exact, to be housekeeper and nanny to young son David, played by Neil Patrick Harris. At first he is resistant and sees her as an intruder. But as the parents are completely wrapped up in their own grief and dissolving marriage, David comes to trust Clara and to depend on her. Clara harbors her own dark secret, which when revealed, serves to firm the bond between these two very different, but loving, characters.

Many flocked to the South Plains Mall the day after Christmas, but not all had the same goal in mind. For many, Santa didn't bring them exactly what they wanted. NewsChannel 11 spoke to many of those 'bad gift' recipients about how they're dealing with those unwanted presents.

"Some of it I just didn't like, some of it was the wrong size but most because it wasn't my style," says Jenni Yeari. The reason shoppers flock to stores after Christmas: to return and exchange those unwanted gifts.
"One still had the alarm on it, and the other wasn't my style," explains another recipient, Daniel Pyle. It's a gift from her brother; one she says was meant to be returned. "He did it as a joke, he expected me to return it I think," she says.
"Every store that we've been in the return isle is really long," says Tish English. Though a few proved to be the opposite.
"We've only had a couple but mostly it's been exchanges so it's worked out well," explains Prints Plus Manager Tracey Abete.

One gift guaranteed to not be on the return list is the gift card. "It's actually a lot better because exchanges are kind of a hassle. Gift cards really are a better deal," says shopper Ashley Seige.
They're perfect gift to avoid the hassle many are trying to get away from. A signal this year's holiday shopping season wraps up, along with the Christmas decor.
If you have some returning to do experts say it's best to have your receipt. Many stores are becoming increasingly strict with return policies.
