Lawyer defends tweet about 'doing Paula Deen in a strongly metaphorical sense'
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Jun 26, 2013, 07:17 am CDT
Double standard. Inappropriate comments by Paula Deen are pile-on events even after several decades, while inappropriate comments by the attacking lawyers are no harm, no foul.
By B. McLeod on 2013 06 26, 7:25 am CDT
Have to use a double standard with Deen, McLeod. Have you seen her size?
That aside, Billips comments weren't too bright, but then the lawsuit doesn't seem to have much of a future anyway. I'm beginning to think that the Jacksonian period is no longer the gold standard for craziness in this Country.
By Pushkin on 2013 06 26, 8:25 am CDT
"Billips told the court that the statements were not intended as threats, nor were they intended to become public."
Not intended to become public? Someone needs to explain the purpose of Twitter to this gentleman. And I am using the term "gentleman" metaphorically.
By W.R.T. on 2013 06 26, 8:58 am CDT
My grandmother's words ring in my ears - "if you'd nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!" Inappropriate on all levels (attorney) as was her use of "that" word.
By atllaw191 on 2013 06 26, 10:08 am CDT
Well, if he wasn't being metaphorical, it would have been a clear ethical violation.
What if he'd been "doing Paula Deen strongly, in a metaphorical sense"?
By NoleLaw on 2013 06 26, 10:57 am CDT
These tweets are interesting in light of the earlier speculation that the N-word question during depositions may have been posed to Ms. Deen in bad faith.
This story may have legs.
By Yankee on 2013 06 26, 11:38 am CDT
Yankee - be careful with that "legs" metaphor. You don't want to be part of the story.
BTW - The objection to the deposition question was irrelevance, not bad faith. They're not the same.
By Pushkin on 2013 06 26, 12:06 pm CDT
Without speaking to the specific facts here (which have not been developed), theoretically there might be bad faith if an attorney (again, i am not saying this attorney, here) asked an irrelevant question designed to illicit an embarrassing response that in turn would inform the context of settlement discussions.
By Yankee on 2013 06 26, 12:25 pm CDT
@W.R.T., have you never used Twitter? There is a private message / tweet function. Private does not equal public.
By wow on 2013 06 26, 12:55 pm CDT
And what Paula may or maynnot have said were not meant for the public either….if he thinks that Paula was wrong and he was ok on his comments then he is a hypocrite as well as already being extremely unprofessional! Should we start spouting Lawyer jokes because Lawyers like him are the reason we have those jokes!
By st on 2013 06 26, 1:36 pm CDT
@ 9. - wow,
No, I do not use Twitter. All the more reason not to do so is that it's private message function, if such was used in this case, is obviously not very effective.
Clearly the PURPOSE of Twitter is to invite public attentioin to one's doings on a moment to moment basis. To claim otherwise is at best disingenuous.
In any event, the measure of a gentleman is how he behaves when he thinks no one is watching. This "gentleman" fails to measure up in either case.
By W.R.T. on 2013 06 26, 2:07 pm CDT
@9: you can write a private letter; that doesn't mean the recipient can't run down to Kinko's and make a thousand copies for their friends or post it in the paper. If he'd said the remark in a private conversation then he might have a basis for believing it was private-although even then nothing would preclude the other party from repeating the remark. As the old saying goes: three can keep a secret if two are dead.
The irony is that what was good for the goose is now being used to baste the gander. @10 has it right, this sounds like a different instance of the same complaint.
By Robert B. on 2013 06 26, 3:05 pm CDT
Robert B. and W.R.T. miss the point, which was that W.R.T. didn't know squat about Twitter. Don't include me in your other observations.
By wow on 2013 06 26, 6:10 pm CDT
These comments by Billips suggest his persecution of Paula Deen is in furtherance of personal animus and vindictiveness rather than a professional engagement. He may ultimately maneuver himself into the defendant's chair in a malicious prosecution case, and will have only his own mouth and his own stupidity to blame.
By B. McLeod on 2013 06 26, 6:15 pm CDT
Regarding Pushkin's statement of Paula's size—I am larger than Paula. I take offense at your statement. But it seems to be ok to make fun of people because of their size. Also, of late, I hear a lot of prejudicial talk about Mexicans. Maybe it would help if we had a list of people it is ok to malign. And @atlaw191—your grandmother was a wise lady.

Epic ride finishing week atop three Strava leaderboards
The Samford student chapter of the ACM organized a ride today leaving from Chelsea High School and climbing up one of my favorite climbs – Double Oak Way. Three brave students and one crazy professor (me) met at 1:00 to complete the ride. We were waiting on one person before the start of the ride, so we found a 30+% gradient grassy downhill to have a little fun on before the start of the real ride. I've told the story of the ride in pictures below. At the bottom of the post, I explain about Strava and my position on the leaderboards after today's rides.
It was definitely cold with the temperature below freezing for the entire ride. Note the min, max, and average temp for the four hour ride.
Samford computer science students John, Adam, and Greg brave the conditions AND the Double Oak Way climb up Double Oak Mountain
Me along with two of my students – John and Adam – on the top of Double Oak Mountain
I finished the week atop three Strava leaderboards – best climber, best commuter, most rides – plus 3rd overall. I climbed over 34,000ft for the week, commuted 214 miles or even more if you count my commute today from church back to my house, plus 14 different rides this week totaling 348 miles
Gotta love the commute
Double Oak Commute
What do a midterm exam, excellent students, and a beautiful day all equate to? Answer: a 55 mile commute with nearly 5000 ft of climbing. In the map above, I have numbered and labeled the six major climbs on the route. Also my ride crossed four different river valleys – Shades Valley, Cahaba Valley (2x), Little Cahaba Valley (2x), and Shoal Creek!
My computer architecture students have done really well this semester and are way ahead of schedule, so when I gave them their second take-home exam yesterday, I also decided to give them the day off from class. This meant I had the opportunity to go for a long ride on the way in to work, how long? My longest "commute" yet at 55 miles and over 5000 ft of climbing. I did one of my favorite climbs in Birmingham (Double Oak Way), and I also discovered a cool addition to the Grants Mill climb from the Cahaba River.
Contents of my jersey pockets for the 55 mile commute: 2 powergels, 1 chocolate milk, 2 powerbars, 1 set of keys, 1 wallet in a grocery bag, 1 saddle bag with holes.
The ride was awesome, and my legs felt good so I attacked the hills pretty hard. I had ridden all these roads before with one exception – the cement path down into the Cahaba River (literally) for the Grants Mill climb. There is a cement path that leads from a parking area on Grants Mill Rd down a 24% gradient to the Cahaba River. Near the river, there is a ramp leading to a canoe/kayak landing with a gradient of at least 35% maybe even 40%.
Annotated Grants Mill / Cahaba River bridge area.
The ramp down to the landing is pretty short as shown in the satellite image above at about 15-20 ft long and leads to a 6′ by 6′ landing. So when you are heading toward a flooding river with your brakes completely engaged and the bike not stopping, you contemplate life a bit right before you roll to a stop at the edge. Then you get to turn your bike around and attempt a standing start climb of a 35+% gradient ramp. It might not work so well, and you might tumble back down the ramp onto the landing again. Or if you are lucky like me, you manage to clip both feet out of the pedals and catch the bike as it starts to wheely over backwards onto you. Then you might reasonably decide to walk the bike back up the ramp and remount to tackle the 24% gradient back up to the road to begin the 2.8 mile climb up Grants Mill onto Old Leeds Rd with 665′ of climbing and a vertical elevation difference of 540′ (a lot for Birmingham).
Lastly, here is a picture of the Double Oak Way ridge and my iBike elevation data for the ride … the climb looks much bigger in person when you are at the bottom of it.

Sorry this is late! I just got back from camping at Dowdy Lake in Red Feather. It was a lot of fun, but 3 kids in a small camper was a challenge. Anyways what is with the Rockies? We go into the All-Star break winning 8 of 10 and then only manage a win vs the Reds. I was thinking we could have sweeped them. As for "HOW" the candidates are Ianneta, Olivo, Barmes, Giambi, and Herrera. Not a great week if Herrera who hit .222/.364/.222 can make the cut.
More after the jump!
Ianneta made the list for the 1st time because he was responsible for are only win. He hit the HR that gave us a 1-0 win on Sunday. For the week .500/.500/1.250 with a R, RBI, HR and a WPA of .086.
Olivo has made the list for the 3rd consecutive week. Olivo played the first 2 games of the series, but only managed 1 hit, the best kind, a HR, to bad it was a solo shot! For the week he went .173/.250/.571 with a R, RBI, HR, BB, 3 K's and a WPA of .095.
Barmes has made the list for the 2nd time in 3 weeks and had 3 hits, Johnathan Herrera style, all singles. For the week he hit .300/.300/.300 with a K and a WPA of -.059.
Giambi has made the list for the 2nd consecutive week and played in 1 game on Friday and hit .250/.250/.500 with a RBI, 2B, a K, and a WPA of -.050.
Herrera has made the list for the 3rd consecutive week and hit .222/.363/.222 with 2 BB, a K, and a WPA of -.228.
So we went 1-2 against the Reds this week and hit a low of .141/.225/.228 against Reds pitching. Only 4 extra base hits. So you make your chose...

I guess that title is incomplete but I didn't want to make it too long. So I guess the question is should John Madden punch Buddy Nix in the face or did John Madden punch Buddy Nix in the face? It's a question that I pose to you, the fan, the man, the woman.
First let's go back to 1988 when John Madden Football was released. Madden wanted John Madden Football to be as realistic as possible. This actually ended up delaying the games release because Madden was insistent on it being realistic and they finally had the game for sale in 1988. It was 1993 that things changed. When EA acquired NFL players rights the popularity of the game trended upward and eventually became insanely popular. The question that I have/had is why Madden was so insistent on the game being as realistic as possible.
So why would John Madden want the game to be as realistic as possible? Was it because he just wanted a superior video game? Was it because he thought that would attract more people to buy the game? Was it because he was an expert in the NFL and could provide things that other video game developers couldn't or didn't do at that time and wanted to take advantage of? Or was it because he was a visionary and was ahead of his time and saw video games as a way to help teach people how to play football?
It's the last question that I want to focus on. Without asking John Madden i'm not sure how one would answer the question of whether it was part of his vision to make the NFL and overall football product better. However, one thing we can conclude is that Madden has changed the NFL and football in general because of it's teaching with simulation.
Video games are more popular now than they ever have been. I remember in the early 90's that if you had a Nintendo or a Sega you typically had 5 or 6 games and probably just 1 console. Then things changed. As hardware became faster, cheaper (see Moore's law) and more popular they became very common in households which wasn't the case a mere 20 years ago. Now it's actually uncommon for you to walk into somebodies house that doesn't have a video game console. So what does that mean? Well that means that more people have access to games that are hugely popular like Madden. If you have an interest in football and video games (see: a kid) then picking up Madden and playing it on your console of choice is a no brainer. This is where I wonder if John Madden's vision became a reality.
When people play Madden they are playing simulated football, obviously. The other thing they are doing is learning how to play football properly, especially from the QB position. We're at a point where players are coming into the NFL that have had 10-15 years of simulated football experience and specifically simulated football experience from the QB position. As a result they know football better, understand it better and can make adjustments quicker. It all comes from experience. Players coming into the NFL today have a much larger advantage than generations past because of simulated football experiences.
Here's where my questions of Buddy Nix come in. Now, does John Madden have to punch Buddy Nix in the face or did John Madden punch Buddy Nix in the face? Let's see:
Does John Madden have to punch Buddy Nix in the face?
Buddy Nix already stated that he will draft a QB in this years NFL draft. Most of us want him to take a QB at 8 or earlier but certainly no later than 40. The question that I have is will Buddy speak with Doug and try to get him to let the rookie QB learn before plopping him out on the field. In years past that might have been the way to go but now a days with simulated football, training camps, OTA's, football camps, football clinics on and on and on... rookie QBs are finding their way much quicker and I feel the learning curve has dropped to the point where you can put a rookie QB out there and he'll adjust quicker. If Buddy Nix is of the old school mentality and wants the rookie QB to sit and learn then John Madden should punch him in the face.
Did John Madden punch Buddy Nix in the face?
I think he might have. It's speculation but Buddy had a clear plan that he's touted time and time again. You've read the quotes, you've listened to his radio interviews and you've watched his press conferences. Buddy Nix (paraphrasing here): "our team had no talent when I got here", "you can't put a QB in a situation like that". We've all read that, heard that and watched that right? But what if Buddy Nix got punched in the face by John Madden?
If he did in fact get punched in the face by John Madden then he knows that because of simulated football games like Madden and football resources that players have now a days that you can rebuild the team backwards and still have it be forwards.
Typically when a new regime, or should I say new front office, comes into town they want to get their QB and build around him. However with the resources that I mentioned already (simulated football, football clinics etc...) QBs can come in later when the team is already established and be just as successful because they have that simulated football experience to draw from. They've played all the different types of offenses and defenses in Madden and understand what teams are trying to do. They've played with the Saints, Patriots and Packers offenses. They've played with Dom Capers, Rex Ryan and Bill Belichicks defenses. NFL QB's coming in the NFL from college now have a better understanding of what teams are trying to do because of video game experiences. Now exploiting that on a real life football field is obviously very difficult; but that doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to their development and that it can certainly hasten their learning process on the field. If a rookie NFL QB has everything else you look for in a QB and all of a sudden also has 10-15 years of simulated football experience behind him he's going to be a better football player earlier.
So did Buddy Nix already realize that he didn't have to take a QB in his first year because of the experiences that rookie QBs can now draw from and how much quicker they learn the game and how much faster they can get on the field? As a result would that allow him to build the team first, get his QB when the time was right and then plop him out with there with a shorter learning curve than there has ever been in the NFL? Seems plausible does it not?
Madden has certainly changed the NFL and that is almost without question. Players are better faster because of simulated football but we're at the tipping point because players coming into the NFL have been playing those games since they were 8 years old. It's been part of their entire childhood and that's why players now are better faster than they ever have been.
So the question I pose to you is did Buddy Nix realize this and use that as part of his plan when building the Buffalo Bills? People will point to his age and say no way but that doesn't mean diddly poo to me. Buddy is a scout and no doubt players have most likely commented in interviews their experiences that simulated football has had on their development. But did he actually use that as part of his thought process when looking at QBs in the past drafts when he didn't take one knowing that players get better faster, quicker because of simulated football and other resources available to them. Knowing that he can build the team, plop in a young QB and have the team take off and grow around him because players now are more adaptable than ever.
It's an interesting topic and its' a topic I now turn over to you.

New trends in industry-LED LED modular packageon December 27th, 2011 at 2:11 AM
LED as a new source, are increasingly being integrated into people's lives, it is inseparable from the development of people's lighting needs. When the LED light source as a new source to replace the previous generation when it is necessary to have more light than the previous generation of the advantages that can be accepted, so the opportunity will be replaced by more.
Compared to conventional light sources (such as fluorescent and incandescent), LED when in close to the theoretical conversion efficiency than conventional light sources 5-20 times higher luminous efficiency. Even at this stage of the production of light, and that the level is between 2-15 times, combined with the advantages of its directional, this gap will be even greater. As the light-emitting principle of change, their life will be much higher than conventional light sources. In addition, the LED also has non-hazardous to health and the environment and a series of advantages, it has been recognized at this stage is the most appropriate next-generation light source.
Why LED modular package?
LED lighting is used at this stage, the most direct and simple application than for alternative (including the bulb and fluorescent tube replacement). It is relatively easier to be accepted. In addition to saving outside the product's appearance and effects are not significant changes. Of course, more personalized lighting products today, lamps and lighting itself has evolved into a light indicator of quality. However, when the LED has many advantages, it will be some difficult to be widely accepted factors, such as glare and costs. For we are more accustomed to the light structure, the LED, in essence, there is the difference between traditional light sources (such as directional), so now and then with the traditional lighting structure with its own characteristics will be submerged in the present being replaced with a simple lamp.
Give a simple example: Currently, there are LED downlight on the market and the LED bulb. Need to be placed within the lamp light, and for the traditional lighting, the light bulb had belonged to a light source. If corresponds to today's LED bulb lights has been part of a lighting structure. We need to think about is this: When a LED bulb installed in the traditional lamp tube when installed in the LED bulb lights source which can be directly installed in the lamp structures? The answer is yes. Moreover, the cost effect will be more direct LED bulb installation better. But the problem is that such applications, when a non-standard light source structure appears in front of consumers, consumers may not be a simple replacement. Given this situation, now placed in front of a light manufacturing business question is: What is the structure of a standard light source?
We give the answer to this question is: business-to-source package for modular and standardized. Only the LED light source for modular and standardized, and this work from the current packaging companies to complete the entire replacement process, the cost will be optimized. The following will briefly describe several aspects to the LED light source module to replace the outstanding advantages of the process.

It's just been announced that the Wizards traded Rashard Lewis and a 2nd round pick to the Hornets for SF Trevor Ariza and C Emeka Okafor. Here's the full story: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8077486/washington-wizards-get-new-orleans-hornets-emeka-okafor-trevor-ariza-rashard-lewis-pick
So why is this great news for the Kings? Because now it almost guarantees that we land either Harrison Barnes, MKG, or Thomas Robinson. Most people have agreed that the Wizards would pick Bradley Beal with their number 3 pick, but now it is almost a sure thing. With adding a SF Ariza, there is almost no chance that they will go for another SF. I would put money down that Beal is as sure a thing to the Wizards that Anthony Davis is the the Hornets.
Depending on who the Bobcats take at 2, (most likely either Thomas Robinson or MKG) and the Cavaliers at 4 (rumors are that they are fairly high on Barnes), that means that the Kings are almost defintely guaranteed one of the top three players atop STR's board (other than Davis).
Does it change how things were already perceived? Not much. But it does settle that water in what will happen between picks 2 and 4.
My board goes MGK, ThRob, Barnes.

Ever since the nominations came out months ago, we've been speculating about who will take home those golden statuettes this year. With Netflix original series now competing, the race is tight. If you're planning on participating along with the show, make sure you print out a ballot and pay close attention to the following picks! —Additional reporting by Shannon Vestal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Bryan Cranston lost out on the Emmy last year to Damian Lewis, but I don't see that happening again this year. Homeland season two wasn't quite so hot as season one, and it broke Cranston's three-year winning streak. That streak has been long for a reason; Cranston is one of the best actors in TV today, and I expect voters to get back on the bandwagon this year. Source: AMC 1 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series Modern Family is still one of the Emmy dominators, and the hilarious Julie Bowen is likely to keep her post as winner. This would be her third time in a row if she does win, and it would be well-deserved; the show is still one of network TV's funniest series, and Bowen continues to crack us up. Source: ABC 2 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series It'll be tough to beat the men of Modern Family, but I think Girls' Adam Driver can do it. His character, Adam, may be complicated and polarizing, but Driver really got a chance to show what he could do in season two, when we got more insight into Adam and his alcoholism, his feelings for Hannah, and who he really is. Source: HBO 3 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series Anyone who tuned in for the first season of Bates Motel knows Vera Farmiga does a bang-up job as the fiercely protective mother to budding murderer Norman Bates. With a quick look, she transforms Norma from caring mama bear to disturbed shrew. Now that we've seen what Farmiga can do with Norma, it's impossible to imagine anyone else in the role. Source: A&E 4 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Louis C.K. plays a guy who's pretty sad on Louie. At times he's apathetic about his kids, frequently inappropriate, and he'd like to get laid, but mostly he really just wants to be comfortable. Louis C.K.'s talent as creator, writer, producer, and star elevates what could be a completely unsympathetic character to a guy who everyone relates to, whether or not they want to admit it. Behind the camera or in front of it (but mostly in front of it), Louis C.K. deserves to be holding a trophy this year. Source: FX 6 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Julia Louis-Dreyfus does such a pitch-perfect job as Vice President Selina Meyer that it's easy to forget that Louis-Dreyfus was best known for Elaine Benes. Selina is a selfish mess, but with Louis-Dreyfus at the helm, she also manages to be endearing, goofy, and one of TV's most watchable political characters of all time. Source: HBO 6 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Can Aaron Paul bring home his third Emmy for Breaking Bad? I think so, especially considering that Paul just seems to get better, and appreciation for him as an actor also seems to be growing. The only man who could stand in his way? Homeland's Mandy Patinkin. Source: AMC 7 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie At the center of Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra, Michael Douglas commands the spotlight. As the famously closeted entertainer, he plays the piano feverishly, coos at his lover (Matt Damon), and sparkles on stage. While Damon (who's also nominated) is great, Douglas is brilliant as he positively transforms himself. Source: HBO 8 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series Maggie Smith truly has perfected the sophisticated but judgmental Dowager Countess during her tenure on Downton Abbey. Though at times steely and — dare I say — uppity, Smith provides a slight but visible tenderness when it comes to the Crawley family. It's the kind of depth that only Smith can provide, and she deserves a third Emmy for the role. Source: ITV 9 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Miniseries or Movie Top of the Lake is dark, unsettling, and simply fascinating. The mystery from Jane Campion is as captivating as the characters, some of whom are as strange as they could possibly be. The show succeeds as a mystery, but also in creating its own unique world. Source: Sundance Channel 11 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie Did we mention how good the performances in Top of the Lake are? Elisabeth Moss leads the cast as a detective on the case of a missing child. Now back in her hometown, she's also wrestling with her own demons from a horrific event in her past. Mad Men's Moss has shown she has chops before, but this powerful role proves she's no one-trick pony. Source: Sundance Channel 11 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie As scene-stealing as she is in season one of American Horror Story, Sarah Paulson really ups her game for Asylum. She also has a much meatier role: a roving reporter who goes undercover at an institution, only to become trapped by even darker forces of evil than the nuns patrolling the hospital. Paulson manages to be broken yet cunning in a fascinating performance. Source: FX 12 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Actor in a Miniseries or Movie Top of the Lake may not have been at the top of a lot of DVRs, but given the fantastic performances, it should have been. Peter Mullan pulls off an award-worthy performance as a local bully grieving the disappearance of his young daughter. Even while it looks like he may have had something to do with the incident, Mullan keeps the audience guessing.

Season two is better, deeper, and funnier than the first, and audiences had more of a chance to let the show (and its sometimes irritating characters) grow on them. Plus, they're coming off the big wins at the Golden Globes earlier this year, which might indicate that the tides are turning in Girls' favor. Source: HBO 14 / 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Outstanding Drama Series We'll give credit where credit is due: House of Cards totally blew up this year, and not just because of its standout performances. The writing is superb, the cinematography is artful, and the characters are well-rounded and believable, though extreme at times. The show isn't just impressive because it's one of Netflix's first forays into original programming, it is impressive because it is outstanding.

I suppose that I'd expect the Web portion of this transaction to be this smooth from a modern retailer like Amazon.com, and perhaps I'd even expect the brick-and-mortar experience from a long-term store operator like Sears, but the highly successful marriage of the two was refreshing, to say the least.
If brick-and-mortar stores have any advantage over Web-only retailers, this is it: low sales overhead thanks to the Web site, little involvement of in-store salespeople, and instant gratification for the customer. However, they have to do the Web part right; it can't just be a modern-day catalog. It also needs to provide this level of service. There's no way that Amazon can compete with this.
Bringing together these two worlds isn't new. Stores have had the online-order, in-store pickup concept going for a long time now, but this is the first time where it's actually worked for me. I've done the same basic thing with Circuit City, only to arrive at the store and discover that they had no idea what I was talking about, it wasn't in stock, or similar issues. Maybe that's a bad example, since Circuit City didn't find its way to bankruptcy on the wings of stellar customer service, but the point stands -- it's taken 15 years, but traditional retailers are really getting the idea now. I find this particularly interesting for Sears, since it started as just a catalog and introduced actual stores 30 years later.
I have absolutely no business involvement with Sears and no other motive for writing about this experience other than I was impressed with the way they've integrated new media into a century-old business. So good job, Sears. Keep it up.

Monday Albemarle County Public Schools is hosting a meeting about redistricting. It will be a chance for parents to weigh in on what they want the schools to do about overcrowding.
Agnor-Hurt Elementary School is more than 100 students overcapacity. Administrators have come up with innovative ways to still keep class sizes down, but they're hoping Monday's meeting will be a step in the right direction towards coming up with a solution.
"We are sad to lose any child, we don't want to lose any child but the reality is we want every child to have optimal learning spaces," said Agnor-Hurt Principal Michele Castner.
Pearl Yu's children could be affected by the proposed redistricting in Albemarle County. She said she wasn't thrilled about the idea at first because her family has enjoyed their experience at Agnor-Hurt. "We've loved it here from day one," she said.
Administrators say the overcrowding is due to new development in the area, and more school-aged families moving in. Agnor-Hurt students are now forced to take classes in trailers, the gymnasium, hallways, and even a kitchen.
Although classrooms are moving to strange spaces, class sizes are have not been affected. The school is working to maintain class sizes of 20 to 25 students.
"This place may be overcapacity, but as a parent I could never tell," Yu said.
Castner agrees. "Instruction hasn't lacked in any way. I think children are unaware of the fact that we're overcrowded," she said.
Now parents will have a chance to weigh in on the matter. A redistricting committee is proposing three options for moving between 60 to 100 kids in the northern feeder pattern. That would transfer students to Broadus Wood, Woodbrook, or Greer elementaries.
"I would probably encourage any parent that's really upset about this to go to one of these redistricting meetings because if you go to one of the redistricting meetings and you look at all the factors they are considering, in terms of the kids and getting a better education, I don't think there's any way you can still be upset about this," Yu said.
Students will be staying put, though, until at least next year.
"I know that they're going to great places and they'll have more room and spacious learning spaces, so that part makes me happy," Castner said. "I think the reality is once the kids get there next year they'll be fine."
The meeting discussing changes to the northern feeder pattern will take place Monday at 6:30 p.m. at Agnor-Hurt Elementary. The redistricting meeting for the western feeder pattern will be Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Meriwether Lewis Elementary.
The redistricting committee will then give its final recommendation to Superintendent Pamela Moran. She will then give her recommendation to the school board.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"It's a jungle in here." That's the tag for Ninivah Khomo's new shop on Walton Street in London's Knightsbridge. The logo is a whiskered panther; a riot of animal prints turns the place into a shrine to the feline; and Michael Roberts' interior re-creates a sun-bleached beach hut on the rim of the rain forest in Bahia, hand-stenciled palm fronds, slatted screens, and all.
It's been six years since Khomo last had a shop, but, in one of fashion's curious little synchronicities, the designer is re-entering the retail fray at the same moment that graphic tropical prints, succulent color, and a forties-filtered-through-seventies silhouette (bowed necklines, ruched sleeves, and tea dresses) are major Spring trends. Add a healthy helping of leopard to those three ingredients and you've got Ninivah's exotic dish in a Brazil nutshell.
Most of Khomo's spectacular prints come from Roberts' 1998 book The Jungle ABC. The two met when she was at Central Saint Martins in the late seventies and he was fashion editor for The Sunday Times. "Great prints, great eye, great editing," Khomo says of her friend's graphic skills, all of them on parade in a silk georgette tea dress in an orchidaceous pink and black pattern, or a vibrant banana print that should give Miuccia a run for her money come spring. Yesterday, Roberts was meticulously cutting out little palm fronds from a swath of green felt and arranging them on the back of a black cocoon coat, a foretaste of next fall's offerings. Currently available, a gilded leopard gown would do full justice to a haute Hollywood goddess, Joan Crawford, say, in Jungle Red nail polish. "I was never going to be a minimalist or the kind of designer who was searching for something alternative," the designer purrs.
If the flamingos, parrots, and palm trees are right now, Khomo's big cats have been seducing customers for decades. "It was never ethnic," she muses. "I just always loved Biba and 1930′s glamour and Art Deco." Input from Khomo's glamorously leggy daughter Delilah guarantees that everything stays on the right side of retro. Leopard shorts? No wonder equally long-limbed lovelies like Charlotte Dellal are Ninivah fans.

Remember Me
Dead Editor, I owe a debt of gratitude to Judge Bertram and the fiscal court for finally persuading the Bluegrass Pipeline developers to participate in a truly open discussion, directly with the people affected. I urge everyone in our county to attend and seek answers to their questions. Williams/Boardwalk has not been exactly brimming with proposed benefits to our county, or to Kentucky as a whole.

Andrew Bynum has joined the Cavaliers to start a new phase of his career. It sure seems like he's happy to move on from Philly and Los Angeles.
Kyrie Irving has superstar talent. But he knows that it will take more than talent to become the player that he wants to be.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will finally introduce their biggest free agent acquisition on Friday morning in a press conference.
The Cavaliers are reportedly going to delay signing Andrew Bynum in order to keep their flexibility open just a bit longer.
The Cavaliers are reportedly considering going after a former member of the Miami Heat.
The Cavaliers are finally introducing the biggest addition to their team this offseason.
The Cavaliers took a risk acquiring Andrew Bynum. Will his knees hold up?
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a productive offseason. According to an article on ESPN, they had one of the top 5 offseasons among teams around the NBA.
The Cavaliers made their free agency acquisitions official by signing a contract with both Jarrett Jack and Earl Clark.
The Andrew Bynum signing has somewhat muddled the Cavaliers' rotation in the front court? What can we expect on opening night?

Israelis, Palestinians pin no peace hopes on Obama trip
SDEROT, Israel/GAZA
SDEROT, Israel/GAZA (Reuters) - Five years ago, a few months after a Palestinian rocket crashed through his kitchen ceiling, Pinhas Amar received a more welcome guest at his southern Israeli home - Barack Obama, then running for president of the United States.
Amar holds up a picture he now keeps in a back room - unframed and glued to thin cardboard with crumpled corners - of himself showing the missile damage to Obama. He was impressed by the candidate, he says. The president Obama became: less so.
"He promised me he would make sure there would be no more rockets," said 53-year-old Amar, whose wife was injured in the December 2007 missile attack. "It is quieter today, but I am not optimistic. This calm will not last very long."
If there is one thing that seems to unite Israelis and Palestinians days before Obama's visit to Israel, the occupied West Bank and Jordan next week, it is their talk of broken promises and lack of hope that he will ever bring peace.
Across the frontier, in Gaza, Badiaa Anbar, 53, was demonstrating with other parents for the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. Her own son, she said, was imprisoned 18 years ago for being affiliated with militants.
Despite initial pledges to work hard for a Palestinian state, Obama has turned out to be no different than any of his predecessors, she said.
"Obama's promises were as deceiving as a mirage. None of these promises came true."
In his first term Obama started off by making peace between Israelis and Palestinians a top priority. His 2009 "new beginning" speech in Cairo raised Palestinian hopes of establishing a state in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, territories Israel captured in a 1967 Middle East war.
But those hopes plunged when U.S.-brokered peace talks collapsed in 2010, only weeks after they began. Israel ignored Obama's call to halt the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank; the Palestinians refuse to talk as long as settlements are being built.
This time around Obama's administration is wary of risking its credibility on efforts to revive talks. The White House has said there would be no launch of a diplomatic initiative during the trip.
In the market of Gaza's Beach refugee camp, Baha al-Haddad, 45, a public servant, predicted nothing would come of Obama's visit. "He will make another speech and make promises but it will only be words without fulfillment," he said.
In November last year, days after Obama's election to a second term, Israel and Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules the Gaza Strip, fought an eight-day war in which some 170 Palestinians and six Israelis were killed.
Gaza was pummeled by air, land and sea while rockets exploded in Israeli towns, including Sderot, just across the border from the enclave.
The United States funds Israel's missile interceptor system, Iron Dome, which blew up many of the incoming rockets. Nevertheless, some Sderot residents do not believe Obama has their best interests at heart.
"It would be disastrous without Iron Dome," said Yaffa Malka, 49, a hairdresser who has lived in Sderot her entire life. "But all he (Obama) cares about is talking about a Palestinian state and not how to stop Hamas arming itself."
In the occupied West Bank, mistrust of Obama is one of the only things Palestinians and Israeli settlers share.
"I don't think Obama's a player. I don't think he's proved to be effective on either side really, not on the Arab side and not on the Jewish side and no one really cares what he has to say," said Aliza Herbst, 60, a yoga teacher and former settler spokeswoman.
In the past year, the White House has voiced condemnation of Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank, which U.S. presidents have described for decades as an obstacle to peace.
"I didn't know how bad he would be for Israel," Herbst said, sitting in her sunny garden in Ofra settlement, where she has been living for the past 31 years. "He's probably one of the most anti-Israel presidents, certainly in my lifetime and maybe in the history of the United States."
The Obama administration rejects the suggestion that he is less supportive of Israel than previous U.S. presidents, and points to strong cooperation with Israel on security matters.
Meanwhile, despite failing to win over many Israelis, Obama also lost support among Palestinians last year when he opposed a successful Palestinian bid for recognition as a de facto state by the U.N. Generally Assembly.
In the West Bank town of Tubas, Loai Dawwas, a 41-year-old pharmacist, said Obama's rejection of the U.N. recognition bid quashed Palestinian faith in him.
"He is a man of speeches like the speech he had gave in Cairo, but what did he implement of those promises? Nothing. And he will not do anything useful for us. America is good for Israel only," Dawwas said.
Mohammad Zaid, a grocer in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, also predicted Obama's visit would lead nowhere, even as change is sweeping through other countries in the region.
"The Arab world is a mess. Look at Libya, Syria, Egypt. Palestine is an easier issue than all that. But we don't think Obama is going to change anything," Zaid said.

more than ninety people, mainly civilians.
That atrocity was a barbaric act of terror carried out on July 22, 1946 by the militant right-wing Zionist underground organization, the Irgun Zvai Leumi, upon the British administrative HQ for Palestine, which was housed in the hotel. Over 90 people of various nationalities were killed and 46 were injured. The dead included 28 British civilians.
The attack initially had the approval of the Haganah (the principal Jewish paramilitary group in Palestine).
The bombing has been called 'one of the most lethal terrorist attacks of the 20th century' but Benjamin Netanyahu, now Prime Minister of Israel, has described the bombing as 'a legitimate act': i.e. terrorist atrocities such as this – and, presumably, the later massacre of 107 men, women and children in the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin – in his view were justified in order to gain independence for the proposed
State of Israel.
These inflammatory views raise vital questions for human rights legislation and the power and jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) which is now recognised by 122 states, including those of the EU, but not by the nuclear-armed state of Israel whose 'price-tag' terrorists still burn down homes and destroy crops in the West Bank in an effort to abort a nascent and necessary, Palestinian state.
That is the challenge for President Obama – to prove that he represents the American people and the democratic nations of the free world, and not the sectarian AIPAC lobby that now virtually controls Congress and supports the illegal settlements that violate human rights, increase regional instability and threaten world peace.
"to prove that he represents the American people"
He dosen't. And I hope Israel understands that and listens to none of his lies.
Israel claimed it was an accident, kind of hard to mistake a very large American flag the ship was flying. People forget it was Israel who started the six day war.

Turmeric and Chai-spiced Rice Salad with Mint and Yogurt Dressing
Ok, let me ask you a question (hypothetically)…you've been invited to a grand banquet of many, many dining tables, each representing the finest cuisine of every country in the world. You're dressed fabulously (of course) and all your favourites are there. The Italians have already started on the antipasto, the Thais are freshly pounding green papaya for a som tam and there is a distinct smell of melted Gruyere coming from the Swiss. You can only sit down and feast at one table. I know its hard…but what table would you sit down at?
I love to ask this question and follow it up with "…why?" so that I can extract a persons passions for whatever flavours a person is passionate about. Personally, I would run hungrily straight into the arms of Mother India. I have an absolute penchant for Indian food. I love its complexity of flavours and layers and textures, I love its variety, its fragrance and its history. I love to swirl together saffron rice with dahl, paneer, raita, aloo gobi and lime and chilli chutney and scoop it all into a hot puri (like a pro with only the index finger, middle finger and thumb of my right hand). I love samosas, pakoras, bhajis…and don't even let me get started on the sweets. But (as with most of my passions) I tend to overdo it a little and eat until I swear I will never, ever eat again…right after one more gulub jamun.
Of all the Indian dishes biriyani is one of my favourites. It's an Indian rice dish that can stand alone as a meal or accompany other dishes like curries, chutneys or fried stuff. I have wonderful memories of mountainous biriyanis, piled high on banana leaves, heavily laden with salted, roasted, sweetened cashews, as well as peas, herbs, spices, shredded coconut, currents and finely sliced tomatoes, all dripping decadently with golden ghee. If it is made well it is heavenly…but Oh. So. Heavy.
I wanted to make a biriyani inspired salad…full with all the flavours of the real thing but light, wayyyy lower in calories and minus all the spice frying, boiling, steaming, stirring, baking, then stirring again kind of complexities that go behind the making of traditional biriyani.
You might have already noticed…I use turmeric a lot. There is a tell-tale mark of turmeric all over everything in our kitchen. Our grater is a golden hue, our knives consistently coated in a thick yellow/orange resin, our kitchen clothes and tea-towels are all stained yellow. All my wooden plates (take note of the one in the top right corner of the picture above) have a distinct yellow staining. Even our bamboo toothbrushes are usually pretty yellow. It gets everywhere and takes a while to come out (if it comes out at all). I even have a designated 'turmeric free' kitchen bench top that I reserve for photographing food…every other bench top is stained in yellow. I'm always surprised by just how versatile a spice it is. On our land we are growing two different varieties; a native Australian variety called Cape York Turmeric, its rhizomes eaten and roasted by Aboriginal people. The native Australian varieties flavour is a little different from the South East Asian variety and is less vibrant in its golden colour. The flowers are magnificent…
We are also growing the more common South East Asian variety, known for its cancer curative properties and used widely within all kinds of natural medicine. If you are unable to find/buy/grow your own fresh turmeric you can substitute it with dried turmeric powder.
For the rice…
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup organic basmati rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 large knob of fresh turmeric, chopped (or substitute with 1 Tbsp of dried turmeric powder)
- 1 large cinnamon quill
- 2 star anise flowers
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cardamon pods
- salt and pepper
- 1 bunch of fresh mixed kale, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch of flat-leafed parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 red capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 cup of freshly shelled peas
- 2 large handfulls of pistachio nuts, chopped and toasted lightly
- the inside of one pomegranate
- 1 cup of organic whole yogurt
- 1 bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
- The juice of one lemon
- 3 Tbsp hemp seed oil
- 1 Tsp cumin seeds, lightly pounded in a mortar and pestle
- Salt and pepper
So tell me please, which table would you sit at and why?

That's a hard one but I think I would be hovering over the Indian and the Thai tables (gluttonous of me I know). I am a huge fan of galangal, lime leaves, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, tumeric, fenugreek and coconut milk!
Your table Amy! I would sit at your table EVERY. DAM. DAY. haha! That salad looks soooo good.
Hahaha!!!! Was just thinking today about how nice it was to share meals with you and the kids everyday…not in like a 'lets get together and have lunch' kind of a way but just…'its lunchtime lets eat' kind of a way! I love you!!!!!
Oh Amy! Love Love Love it! I think I would spend the entire evening running between the Thai table, the Mexican table and the Italian table and not being able to decide!
Mmmmmm Italian all the way baby -always with the bread! The lasagne/cannelloni/calzone/ and just everything decadent to me!
But for dessert I will have to ask the Indian table to bowl me their scraps because nothing bets gulab jamun!
ooOOOOOooooo tuuuuuuurrrrmeric …. goldenly delicious
Garuda Nicolle haha I was going to post this on your page :p
Amy King There is something decidedly different about dining with each other, with the natural flows of the day. It was really nice wasn't it. What a nice reflection.
Also I think your bowls, pots, and bread boards are really super lovely.
I would sit at the Russian/Polish/Ukrainian able because I am a punk and want to sit where no-one else is going to say they're going to sit and I like potatoes and I also like a salad made with tomato, cucumber, sour cream and dill. Just saw this post now eh. Going to try it soon.
Like you – Indian every time :). The people and land are in my soul and every time I eat, make or even smell Indian food, I am reminded of my connection with them. Thank you for sharing your recipes and life – wonderful read!

Finally a free agent I feel good about (other than Atogwe)
Andre Carter is on the wrong side of the hill, but as a 4-3 DE, I feel like he still has good value. He's good against the run and he's proven many times that he's very reliable rushing the passer. Rotate him in with Doom / Ayers, and we can focus on DT, S, LB, RT, RB, and more depth in the draft.

Melvin Manhoef Shin Cut From One FC 3 Bout With Yoshiyuki Nakanishi.
pretty gruesome. Gotta like Melvin, a true warrior. It's always disappointing to see a fight end this way. But maybe it's safer, come to fight another day.
And he shows he can still fight. He was still kicking with that leg during the 1st round while cut. That is true warrior spirit. Just imagine, 1,000 years ago and you are in a massive battle, hurt, tired, hungry, but no one will rest for you to catch your breath. Fight to survive. The spirit lives on.
Not so sure I agree with a stoppage due to a self-inflicted wound. If you strike an opponent and the result is YOUR broken hand, leg, etc, then you are toasted. Find a better way to strike, IMO. But I also understand the need to protect the fighters…*yawn*
And, no, I don't watch WWE
yea kidfrosty and while were at it lets just let them bring guns into the cage, no more boring decisions
A true warrior. He would have continued if given the chance. However, I agree with the referee's decision to stop the fight.
Thats pretty big but it wasnt dangerous was it? I dunno but they could always rematch
Instead you watch TNA. f***** ASSHOLE. jk.
Hmmm… I don't know. He did do it to himself, but then again so did Corey Hill who broke his leg from a checked kick. I think it looks bad enough to justify a stoppage. It's safer this way for infections that can go on for months.
@kidfrosty: You got it wrong. The fight was stopped because both fighters were hurt and couldn't continue. Both of them wanted to continue, but that crater in hist leg wasn't going to get any smaller if they did.
Almost as bad as the vagina of a cut Eastman had…
Back in my day, we had massive battles, we were hurt tired and horny, but we fought to survive… and sometimes we were just too tired, so we had sex… man sex. The spirit lives on! The spirit of man sex!
Hahahaha listen to these couch warriors wanting the fight to continue.Man imagine how big that cut would get with a few more kicks? YOu little bitchesss needs to chill the puck out and get in the ring yourself. Gaddammm maggots.
It's a TKO if the stoppage is due to injuries sustained from strikes during the fight, regardless if the fighter claims they can continue, and Manhoef's injury was enough to warrant a stoppage, hence Manhoef did not want to be counted out by TKO.
The question is was Yoshiyuki's injury enough to warrant him being stopped.
ahahaha someone's been watching a lot of 1000 year old spartacus gay p*** or something man.
All the nerves in his shin are dead from years of conditioning. he would barely feel it.

I have seen the consternation in Bronco Country regarding the DT situation, and though this has been somewhat said before, I think it bears repeating. Time to relax and realize that the Elway/Fox and I will through Xanders in the equation, team, have a plan and they know what they are doing and in the end it will be OK. They have looked closely at the failures of Shanahan and McDaniels and will not follow the same road of reaching in drafts, overpaying for questionable Free Agents, and they will build this team from within.
Lets rewind to the draft, there was much anguish regarding not selecting a DT and looking at LBs, DBs, OL, TE in the draft. While I wouldn't have been opposed to selecting a guy like Marcel Darius; however, Darius is not the same player or even close to a guy like Suh or Warren Sapp, who to me have been the only DT's to come out recently that warrant a No. 2 overall pick. Those guys are game changers from the DT position, Darius, while a great player and I expect him to have a good career, do not change games the way a guy like Von Miller can. While it may be somewhat of a stretch to compare players at this point, but I would say if you want to change a defense who would you draft: Derrick Thomas or Pat Williams, to me that is how Von Miller and Marcel Darius project to. Both were great players and both have great affects on a defense, but one is a HOF player who changed a defense while the other is just a great DT. As for the rest of the draft, I am glad that the EF & X team did not reach, they stayed with their board, and got good value with later picks. They did not panic and try to get a DT that they didn't see as a good value. Also remember, that on very rare exception does a DT come into the league and have much of an impact their first couple of seasons. The EF & X team knew that most guys would probably only be rotational players at best and would likely sit on the bench for the most part this season, with the exception of maybe a guy like Darius.
Now lets fast forward to free agency, there is obvious pains at MHR and through Bronco country that we haven't landed the big FA DT. But lets look a little closer at the FA DT crop and see if there is really the value that people see:
Brandan Mebane – The kid is young but has shown limited ability to generate any pass rush and looks to have limited upside. He resigned in Seattle for $5 million a year for five years, which is pretty steep for basically a rotational player who has limited upside, while I think he would have been a decent pick-up, I agree that he is not worth that much money (4% of your cap room).
Barry Coefield – I liked him a lot as a FA, to me he is the best of the available FA crop. An excellent pass rusher and also good against the run, while he would have been a great pick-up, we would have had to overpay severely for his services.
Aubrayo Franklin – Good NT, but really is a 3-4 NT and not a 4-3 DT, also on the wrong side of 30 and generally suffers from the Albert Haynesworth syndrome of playing well in contract years. We may end up signing him, but I don't see him as anything more than a 2 year stop gap.
Ty Warren – Again, more of a 3-4 player, how he transitions to a 4-3 would be interesting, but he is coming off an injury and how effective he can be is in question. Again, hopefully we don't overpay for the guy.
Cullen Jenkins – Another 3-4 guy who, when healthy is probably the most dominate of this group, but he hasn't been healthy in two years and he 30, again I think he got a pretty hefty contract from the Eagles, but I think the Eagles have determined they are going to spend this year to see if they can win a SB and if not, then they will blow up their team next season.
Stephen Bowen – A guy with limited production got the Redskins to pony up more money than Mebane, more power to him, but I will let the Redskins overpay for guys.
Amobi Okoye – A guy who looked very promising coming into the NFL, yet has done nothing to warrant a 1st round pick. Remember that Marcus Thomas was rated a better player in that draft but was drafted later because of the off the field issues. This is a guy who may have potential, but hasn't shown anything.
The rest of the group is either journeyman players, guys way past their prime, or underachievers. The fact is that the EF&X team has learned from the sins of past regimes and is not willing to spend money on questionable FA or overpay for guys, as that generally has the downward spiral of compounding the problem next year when you try to get out of bad contracts and find more FA solutions. How many poor FA DT have we spent money on in the past, do names like Chester McGlocken, Darryl Garner, Ron Fields, and the countless other miracle fixes to the position that have come and gone, EF&X understand that we need home grown talent and supplement it with smart FA signings. Guys who have potential, have shown they can play, aren't headaches in the locker room, and can be productive for 4 to 5 years. This is a team that needs a strong foundation, and that foundation won't be built on overpaying for other teams cast offs. Have some faith that Fox understands how to coach defensive football and that he can get better production from guys like McBean and Thomas. That Elway and Xanders will find some FA that can contribute and play a solid roll on the team that they will not have to mortgage the farm to sign them. The fact they haven't panicked, haven't overpaid, haven't made a bad trade should give you comfort in they know what they want, how they will get there, and that they will succeed in the end.

Would you guys like a trade for Ellis and Randolph for a Kirk and a tyrus once he comes back? Would that work cap wise?
Rose - Ellis
Salmons - Ellis
Super Noah( I like that as his nickname too like super nova)-B52
Granted We lose Kirk's D put we get a more consistent shooter in Ellis who wants out of GS and that transition scorer that will take tons of pressure of Rose scoring wise he could fit similar to how Crawford's playing in ATL and better yet which is more the bulls style when it comes to trades, is Ellis gives a some relief if we don't get a Wade or Johnson and allows us to focus on a BIG MAN and if we do get a wade bosh our guards would be considered at least the Fastest in the league, and randolph as you guy wrote earlier solves the TT cap issues this offseason and plays very similar to TT, It also takes away the possibility of Salmons opting out and us not have a 2 guard.
Also think that move makes us more attractive to a up tempo pf like Bosh.
Let me know what you guys think and also if that trade heads up doesn't let me know some of the combinations that would.
PS I think GS would like this trade because Kirk would help curry and let curry play more off ball and TT and A Randolph are similar. Better yet kirk won't complain even in Nellie ball

Ms. Frazzled Dons a Bra. And Shows 300 People.
What I am hoping at this very moment: in the future, none of my coworkers or students' parents will come up to me and say, "I knew I knew you from somewhere. You look different with your clothes on. You're that girl I saw dancing at [the gay club] in her bra on June 4th! Nice tattoo." (A la Josh Cohen, whose story I wholeheartedly appreciated.)
Well, that's a step up from the last entry. At least I was wearing a bra.
In other news, I finally got my first placement for student teaching next semester. I will be in a fourth grade in the ghetto. I did one of my prior observations at that school, and it was definitely an experience. I'm thinking that I may have some of the kids I did my observation with, since I was in a third grade room. At least I know the school, and it's fairly close. On Monday, I have to call the teacher and set up an appointment to meet with her.
Know what's funny? Both of my cooperating teachers have the same last name. One less thing for me to worry about forgetting.


text: Can someone confirm this story? See the following twitter . I truly hope this is just a rumor and we are keeping him. He is a great body to have in the end-zone and he has good hands and a good blocker. I know we have Myers and Aus but this move puzzles me. Is Boss hurt? Who in the heck are trying to pick up in the off season? There have been a few of you talking about picking up a tight end did you see something we did not..

'You don't need to suffer' from prostate cancer
Actor Cyril Nri has called on men are worried that they might be suffering from prostate cancer to go and get tested.
Recalling his own family's experiences and those in the wider Afro-Carribean community, the actor urged men to go and get checked out because "you don't need to suffer from it".
"Men very rarely talk about illness. I don't like visiting the doctor. Most of my friend's don't like visiting the doctor. We just stay away and think ' Oh it will go away'

The online measurement of basis weight in paper production is hampered by excessive noise, and the zig-zagging motion of the scanner transversing the sheet. Decoupling variations in the direction of production form variations across the sheet and visa-versa.

Joe the Coupon Guy breaks down January savings and the new Target price match policy
CLEVELAND - Sales get a lot of attention in November and December, but there are plenty of sales in January as well. Joe Daugirdas, also known as Joe the Coupon Guy , said look, for savings on air conditioners, bedding, bikes, canned tomatoes, diet food, fast food, fitness equipment, furniture, motorcycles, oatmeal, soda, sheets, storage items, towels, TVs, vitamins, and wedding items.
He likes the savings on Lean Cuisine diet foods at Target. Look for coupons on the manufacturer's site. Target is giving a gift card valued at $5 if you buy a certain amount of the frozen diet food.
Also, this week Target announced it's making the store's holiday price match policy permanent. The store matches some online retail prices. Retailers are battling showrooming where consumers go into the store to see a product, but then buy it online for a cheaper price. The items must be identical including the color and size.

4/23 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Hentai!
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic eh? You know if somebody asked me if I ever thought I'd be looking up My Little Pony hentai at any point in my life… I probably would have laughed at them. Guess they're the ones laughing now. Still it should be interesting to see what this vote (which I pretty certain started up as a joke) pans out with. For those interested, here's the vote tally just to show everybody how vicious the ponies really are in the hentai arena….
The Vote Tally:

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic N/A 9 Hentai 1
Hypnosis Doujinshi

Also before I wander off on my "magic pony hentai adventure" I figured I'd touch on the voting topic. I must say that there is a lot of validity to what you guys said, especially about missed updates. For now I think I'll just focus on updating more often, and leave the voting as it is. After all, if you guys are voting for something more often, chances are that's what you guys want… right? So with that in mind, time to start the next vote and I'll be back in a bit with ponies in tow.

Reds ink Taveras to two-year deal
Center fielder brings speed, stellar defense to Cincinnati
CINCINNATI -- In one transaction on Saturday, the Reds believe they met two of their offseason needs.By signing free-agent speedster Willy Taveras to a two-year contract, Cincinnati now has an experienced leadoff hitter and center fielder heading into 2009. Financial terms of the contract weren't immediately known. "This was a need we felt we had to try and fill this winter," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "Besides acquiring a catcher in Ramon Hernandez [earlier this month], we have a center fielder that can play good defense and lead off." Taveras spent the past two seasons with the Rockies and is capable of giving defenses fits when he has a bat in his hands. Since his rookie season in 2005, the 27-year-old leads the Majors with 207 infield hits, accounting for 37 percent of his 558 career hits. He has at least 33 steals in each of the past four seasons. The 2008 season, however, was a down one for Taveras. In 133 games, he batted .251 with just 18 of his 120 hits going for extra bases despite playing at spacious Coors Field. But he did lead the Majors with 68 stolen bases and a .907 stolen-base percentage (68-for-75). "If he gets back to being an on-base guy that hits ground balls, it creates a lot of havoc on the bases," Jocketty said. "He can get on base ahead of the big guys, and we can score more runs." Taveras passed his physical on Saturday prior to the early-afternoon announcement. He cited playing for manager Dusty Baker as one of the attractions to signing with the Reds. "It's a young team where I can fit well," said Taveras, a .283 career hitter over five seasons with the Astros and Rockies. "I'll come over here and play hard. I'm happy to play for Dusty. It's going to be great. ... I've heard from many guys that played for Dusty that he will let you do what you do well if you play hard and respect the game." Cincinnati's pursuit of Taveras began almost immediately after he was not tendered a contract by Colorado on Dec. 12.
|"We'd like to add another hitter, but if we don't, we have good pitching and defense and speed."
|-- Reds GM Walt Jocketty
Jocketty has already made progress in other areas by signing free-agent lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes, re-signing righty reliever Mike Lincoln and acquiring Hernandez in a trade with the Orioles.
