Coach's Corner: The Jerebko Conundrum
If you missed it last week on Grantland, Zach Lowe, in his typical thorough fashion, took a look at the early season form of the Detroit Pistons, specifically as to how it relates to the development of Andre Drummond. The summary of the story is simply this -- the Pistons are in a weird place right now. Thrusting new coach Stan Van Gundy together with a disjointed roster lends itself to all kinds of chaos before even factoring the delicate balance between trying to win and letting a young player with the potential to franchise cornerstone expand his game on the fly.
It's that balance that (at least in my demented, basketball-obsessed brain) is what makes this year's Detroit team so interesting. Sure, their actual on-court play, especially when Josh Smith is doing Josh Smith things, is ugly to watch, but their situation is far from boring. Somewhere in this eclectic mix of players, Van Gundy seems to have enough talent to mould a playoff basketball team, especially in the lowly Eastern Conference. It's just a matter of pushing the right buttons.
One button that Van Gundy might want to press more often, is the one that unleashes reserve forward Jonas Jerebko off the bench. The early returns on Jerebko's play in Van Gundy's high-low system have been fantastic. According to NBA.com's stats, the Swedish big man leads Detroit in overall net rating at plus 9.1 and features in six of the Pistons ten best two-man lineup combinations that have played at least 25 minutes together.
It's also promising for the Pistons to see the impact Jerebko has on his teammates. DJ Augustin is probably the best example of the "Jerebko boost." In 110 minutes with him on the bench, Augustin 28.2 percent on 29 attempts (again, small early season sample that could change). In the 105 minutes Jerebko is on the floor, Augustin is shooting 43.2 percent on 44 attempts. Not surprisingly, the Pistons as a whole are -41 when Augustin plays sans Jerebko and +13 when those two are together.
Now the all of these minute samplings are tiny as far as NBA data sets go. The 25-minute barrier in particular is obviously ludicrously infinitesimal as far as small sample size alerts go. A couple made 3's for or against players on the court can drastically impact the net rating in that minuscule amount of time. Also helping matters is that because Jerebko only plays 15.8 minutes per game, primarily against other bench players. It's unlikely this numbers are this impressive if thrust into a larger role.
As you're probably expecting, here comes the "but."
All of these numbers, despite being too limited to stamp as a trend, seem to reflect the type of player Jerebko has transformed into. He's always been a high energy type, but Jerebko's maturation into a player that can knock down 3's (41.9 percent last year, 43.8 percent this year) and put the ball on the floor from the perimeter has changed his impact -- especially now that he is playing for a coach that knows what he's doing. And because of surrounding personnel, Jerebko's biggest flaw for a frontcourt player, a lack of a presence on the glass, is mitigated somewhat by the fact that two bigs he often plays with -- Monroe and Drummond -- range from good (Monroe) to great (Drummond) when it comes to rebounding.
In general, Jerebko is pretty much the anti-Smith in every way (both good and bad). This single play against the Nuggets is good example of their core differences.
This play is the Pistons' base motion offense. Van Gundy typically asks his bigs to stagger opposite each other, with one coming (or staying) higher on the floor whenever the other dives down to the block out of pick-and-roll. The reads for when Jerebko catches at the top are simple: look high-low (to Drummond in this case), shot/drive or go opposite. The difference between Jerebko and Smith in this spot is that Smith chooses to do the thing he gets killed for on a nightly basis -- launch a high-arcing jumper that misses far more often than not.
Jerebko, on the other hand, can not only hit those jumpers at a much better clip, but he opts to go opposite and engage the weakside guard, forcing the defense to shift and defend the second side of the floor. The result in this case is a deep paint score for Jerebko, but in general that's the "Spursian" way to play. Move the ball, change sides of the floor and make the defense defend multiple actions. This is a primary reason why you can probably expect Jerebko to continue to post really good plus/minus numbers throughout the season.
Unfortunately for the Pistons, I'm not sure how much it's going to matter with the presence of Smith, Drummond and Monroe. As Lowe pointed out, the early season trends show that Van Gundy is trying to build Drummond's game on the fly. So expecting heavy minutes for Jerebko and Monroe, isn't going to fit into that approach. Smith's reputation, clout and contract are all reasons why he's not going to be shifted into a secondary role at the expense of Jerebko. Especially when you consider that outside of shooting, Smith can do all the things Jerebko does -- pass, handle, drive, etc -- better, during the times he's not frustrating us with his shot selection.
This weird mix of agendas and personnel are all the reasons why this Pistons team is actually somewhat fascinating, despite, ya know, their on-court play being so damn boring. At some point, due to a trade, injury or Van Gundy losing his mind, this team's frontcourt (and rotation in general) might see a major shift. And if it moves in the direction of more playing time for Jerebko, we might see a Pistons team that's actually worth watching.

A new chapter for retirement
Created on Monday, 16 June 2014 10:29
John F. Kennedy once said, "Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." This is certainly true of preparing for retirement. If we continue to expect that the ways of the past will see us through to our futures, we will be left behind. The methods that helped prepare us for retirement are quickly disappearing, and we must start using others.
Today's companies are rewriting the retirement rules for working Americans. Traditional pension plans, which gained prominence in the 20th century, are rapidly disappearing because of the high costs involved in funding them. Some corporations are defaulting on their plans, and an increasing number
of companies have underfunded or at-risk plans.

Tea Party Republican Tim Scott takes another step toward history
Created on Monday, 16 June 2014 10:15
In the wave of news about Virginia voters sweeping House Majority Leader Eric Cantor out of office and into the unemployment line, the media failed to pay much attention to Sen. Tim Scott's (R., S.C.) overwhelming victory in last week's Republican primary.
The 48 year-old Scott won 90 percent of the vote over challenger Randall Young, who reportedly did not campaign after filing as a candidate. Scott is one of two African Americans in U.S. Senate. The other is Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.), who was elected to office last October.

Revenge is sweet: Spurs crush Heat to win NBA title
Created on Monday, 16 June 2014 09:55
Seconds ticked off the clock and LeBron James sat at the end of the Miami Heat bench with his head in his hands. Reserve center Udonis Haslem had his arm draped around James' shoulder, as it was clear the three-peat championship run was over.
Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker spent the entire year answering whether they were too old to make a run to the finals. All year they fielded questions about their stamina and their colossal collapse in last year's game 6.

Well I did my first brew on the electric brewery last week only to find a short in my type K thermo. I have read that RTD is perferred over Type K so this gives me a chance to upgrade. I'm running inline with HEX so I only need 2"-2.5" probe 1/4" or 1/2" NPT.
Auber sells this for just over $30 with shipping, but then I notice ones on ebay that are under $10. How does one determine if they are water tight. If not could one just use a compression with o-rings? I plan on wiring to an XLR connector so I don't need fancy ends.
If anyone has any input feel free to share.
I can say that the Auber one is definitely water right and works well...though I had trouble sourcing a threaded nut that'd lock it down from the inside, should have just purchased the one they sell specifically for it at the same time.
I've been doing a lot of shopping myself. I've decided to go with Kal's premade couple. Granted its expensive. But man is it sexy.
The best beer I ever made was the next one I brew.
these are both water-tight. http://www.ebay.com/itm/250867592524...84.m1497.l2648http://www.ebay.com/itm/RTD-PT100-Te...item3a53cc96fc
I bought the cheaper one at first, but I move my HEX coil around a lot and the connections started to get flakey, so I bought the burly ass one after that and love it.
First one is 1/4" NPT, second one is 1/2" NPT.
I half-ass fixed the cheaper one and use it now in an electric smoker.

- Quiet little hotel - Rooms build around the pool in a tropical patio . Very friendly staff . Excellent additional services (airport transportation, tuk-tuk for excursions)
the service was excellent, they all organised a birthday party for my child, very kind! great atmosphere for our family with 3 childrens! thanks a lot!
On arrival i had a good feeling, it was what i saw on Booking .com (pictures) The staff were great the room was perfect and l couldn't ask for anything more. would i stay there again, you guessed it yes.I have stayed in other places in Siem Reap this is the best.
I can't thing of any negatives about Petit Villa Boutique and Spa
Staff are attentive friendly n helpful. Quiet n tranquil surroundings
Room n bathroom lights were too dim. Door lock wasn't working too well. Renovation on-going during stay.
Atmosphere: the hotel was decorated beautifully and it felt as though you were in a private jungle oasis. Loved the little rabbits running around as well. Also, every night (and usually in the mornings) they had a guy playing an instrument (can't remember the name but it was like a xylophone) and I thought it was really lovely and it added to the ambiance of the hotel. Food: free breakfast was very good and free (they had several choices on a menu). Only other items on their menu we ordered was soup and it was delicious (I got pumpkin). Staff: very nice and attentive, professional. Room: really liked how the rooms are only a few steps away from the pool. It was also nice to have a little private deck area in front of our room where we could lounge. The room was clean and decorated tastefully. The bathroom was my favorite part: spacious, high ceiling, had a tub, and loved the shower head!
Room: smelled faintly of mildew right when you get inside, but only for a min. This is probably due to the fact that there were no windows in the room to air it out. I really enjoy natural light and there wasn't any. Noise: there was construction going on the entire floor above us. Even though we were informed it would be only during the day (and it was) and we were gone most of the day anyway, while we were there it was a little annoying and took away from having a peaceful/relaxing time. I understand that it was renovation and needed to be done, but I think the hotel should have offered a discount on our room or free dinner or something to compensate for it. Pool: while we really did enjoy the pool and used it frequently, it could have been cleaned better. There were constantly bugs floating all over the top. Didn't really bug me all that much (pun intended), but it was still a little gross and should be kept up properly. We stayed at another hotel in Siem Reap nearby, and they had an open pool as well and we never saw bugs in the pool (they cleaned it every morning), so I know it's not just the outside pools in the area. Spa: I was a little disappointed with our massage. First off, let me say it was only $10 for an hr, so I can't complain too much, and the masseuses did fine (we did body massages) , but compared to another massage we had received, it wasn't really up to par. It was really the atmosphere that killed it. It was next to a pool, so we could hear a child crying, some annoying dog next door yapping away, and then employees kept coming in and out of the room. Music would have been nice as well. Just felt kind of awkward and wasn't very relaxing.
Beautifully decorated, nice garden, good breakfast, quiet area of Siem Reap
Staff attitude: because they were renovating/building new rooms, we were put in smaller rooms than we should have, and only got additional beds after complaining a few times. It felt like a rip-off
Very good and affordable food. Friendly staff. Cosy and beautiful hotel premises.
There was a noisy construction on the second floor of the hotel. The electricity went down a few times. We believe we were overcharged by the hotel driver who took us to the temples of Angkor. The cleaning of the room was unsatisfactory (some fruit leftovers weren't thrown away).
Nice and peaceful place to stay in Siem Reap. Just 5 min walk from the down town. We stayed 3 nights. Kind staff.
They're upgrading the resort, so it was noise from 8.00am to 5pm. But fortunately we were outside to visit the temples.
Tuk Tuk driver mr. vorn was very sincere and helpful. Please request for Mr. Vorn service when you are staying at
Every morning, the construction going on upstairs of my room at 8am. It was impossible to stay at the hotel passed 9am as the noise get worse. The dust from the construction flew all into the pools and i can never step into the pools despite the signage hang at the entrance stating free usage of pools. We have booked honeymoon suites which benefits include customised tuk tuk tour, 1 hour message and authetic khmer meal and etc. But we were asked to pay $35 on the day of visiting small tour. we were also charged for our meal and massage and we have to clarify at the counter upon checkout. The worst thing happen at the hotel is that on the day we were visiting kulen mountain, instead of sticking to the agreed upon $100, we were raised to $150 when we are on our way. It's a scam i would say.
Nice place to relax and spend some downtime. Rooms and spacious and clean with a super comfortable bed. Staff are good and happy to arrange all the usual day trips. We got an excellent guide called Bob, for Angkor Wat tour. Good value for money and would happily stay here again
Petit Villa would have to be the best accomodation in Siem Reap. Not only was this place beautiful but the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive & generous. We were so sad to leave. We easily recommend this place to anyone looking for accom in Siem Reap that is affordable and just a 5min walk from the centre. When we come back we will definitely be staying here again. Simon & Ramon
There was nothing we didn't like.
Smiling, sociable staff Location Boutique size (not too many rooms) Massage Food
Main shower pressure
The staff were very friendly and the room was delightful
No hot water.
I had a wonderful stay in petit villa boutique. The place is very serene and cozy. All the staff are friendly and very accomodating. They dont wear out their smile in them. Our tourist guide ross samath is really wonderful and he is such a magnificient guy. He took us to different places in siem reap and gave us important histories of the places we've been thru. He is not just a tourist guide but also a good photographer. We love him! We also love ron our driver who made sure we come home safe and sound. Indeed loved our stay in petit.
staffs tried hard to be friendly with their very limited English
quite run down hotel, stained bed sheets and dimmed toilet
Staff were fantastic, pool was beautiful.
Bathroom interesting and rooms a bit dark.
Such a nice place to stay staff were fantastic and friendly had the honeymoon package and the extra touchs where beutiful highly recommended
Very confortable, very clean and modern furniture. Nice and happy staff. Excelent location (near all good restaurants, markets) and very quiet place. The best breakfast ever of East Asia.
staff friendly and trying hard nice swimming pool location - close to centre but still quieter enough
not ending up in hotel we booked, but new part (petit temple), still not fully finished not getting the family room we booked (staff made up -in part- for giving away free diner)
Nice and friendly staff.
Air condition was defect, the bathroom was dark and muggy.
From the pictures it looks much better than in reality. Although it is a very helpful staff and rooms themselves are very dark. Bathrooms have floor stones which, although nice to look at, but they are full of mold.
The staff was absolutely amazing! We traveled through Thailand for two weeks and we were in Cambodia for one day. We got the best treatment and the warmest welcome from the staff at Petit Villa. They were so helpful in giving us tips for how to see all of the sights in the short time we were there. We really enjoyed our time at Petit Villa Boutique and we wished we stayed longer!!!
The spa services were good, but not excellent. The cucumber mask was very very cold. My manicure and pedicure took way too long. But the staff was so accommodating as we were 4 girlfriends traveling together. They changed one of the rooms so that all 4 of us could be together.

News about TRC doujin reprintsThank you all, who are interested in my TRC fanbook reprint, for filling out the polls. It certainly helped me to come to a decision:
"Lüléil" will be reprinted as a standalone book. Same edition as the first run, no changes.
The compilation book will contain all my other TRC stories ever published between 2008~2011 (about 150 pages), namely:
Christmas MemoriesFrailWinter Sun (from "Road to Nowhere" anthology)ForgottenEclipseCloverfield (from "Town of Wind" anthology)
What's new?
"Eclipse" will be completely remastered for the b/w edition, since it was originaly printed in color. The below example shows what I mean - I will basically redraw the entire story in normal manga style (inked and toned).
And this time I'll choose a readable font size. xD;I also plan to add a brand new one-shot story to the compilation, about 10 pages. ^^
And of course, the compilation will have a brand new cover art.
I don't want to commit myself to any deadlines or book pric

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has announced that it is adding the largest entities in the debt collection industry - those with $10 million or more in "annual receipts" - to the category of "larger participants" in consumer financial product and service markets that the Bureau will supervise. This amendment to the CFPB's rules, which goes into effect Jan. 2, 2013, constitutes the first attempt to supervise the debt collection industry and will impact approximately 175 entities, representing more than 60 percent of the annual gross receipts of the market. The entities that will be overseen by the Bureau include three different kinds of third-party debt collection firms: companies that buy defaulted debt and collect the proceeds, companies that recover defaulted debt owned by other companies for a fee, and lawyers who collect defaulted debts from consumer financial products and services through litigation.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the CFPB has authority to supervise all nonbank entities of all sizes that offer financial products or services in the residential mortgage, private education lending and payday lending markets, as well as "larger participants" defined by the Bureau in other markets for consumer financial products or services. The CFPB published a notice of proposed rulemaking on Feb. 17, 2012, proposing to define "larger participants" in two markets: consumer reporting and consumer debt collection. The Bureau published the Consumer Reporting Rule on July 20, 2012, defining "larger participants" in the reporting industry (read our alert on this rulemaking here), and now has amended the rule to add larger third-party debt collection firms.
The Bureau's oversight will include assessing all aspects of the covered entities' business operations related to debt collection, including assessing whether the debt collection firms comply with requirements of federal consumer financial law, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, obtaining information about the activities and compliance procedures of those entities, and assessing and detecting potential risks to consumers and consumer financial markets. The amended rule provides that the procedures and standards enumerated in the Consumer Reporting Rule will also apply to the examination and oversight of larger participants in the debt collection market. In addition, the Bureau released detailed examination procedures it will utilize once it begins scheduling examinations early next year.

Thanksgiving! (and a few other issues)
Happy Thanksgiving! May we count and be grateful for the blessings we enjoy. One of the quickest ways to recognize our blessings is to look around the world. We are blessed. Not only in wealth, but also the Rule of Law and the Dignity of Mankind. May we count our blessings on this uniquely American holiday when we give thanks to our Creator Who endowed us with unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Happy Thanksgiving!
I attended the Conference of Urban Counties (CUC) conference this past week. Just a couple of notes:
1. A Republican in the Texas House spoke about "right wing ideologues". A Republican! Maybe that's why things happen as they do in the House. That same legislator also suggested that the legislature might "bust" the spending cap. Go to http://dontbustthecap.com/ in order to get a handle on that issue.
2. Not one of the handful of Texas legislators who spoke to the group thought that transportation funding would be a major issue during the 2015 session, at least compared to health care funding and education funding. Not one. We need to get ready to address our needs realistically and honestly.
I'm thankful that you take time to read my writings!
P.S. The next deadline for a deal with Iran is tomorrow, Monday, November 24. Hopefully the P5+1 won't cave in. No deal is better than a bad deal, but in the end, who will keep Iran from building a bomb? Talk about a Middle East arms race if they build one!

A new report says NJ Transit was warned about flooding in its northern New Jersey rail yards months before Superstorm Sandy struck.
The Record of Woodland Park says the report prepared by a Boonton-based environmental company contained a storm surge map that included rail yards in Hoboken and Kearny where NJ Transit stores rail cars and maintenance equipment.
Flooding from Sandy on Oct. 29 caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
An NJ Transit spokesman tells the newspaper the agency didn't feel the report offered specific predictions for flooding of the level caused by Sandy.
Executive director James Weinstein told a Congressional transportation committee this month that NJ Transit had felt there was an 80 percent to 90 percent chance that the rail yards wouldn't flood.
Report: NJ Transit knew of flood warnings
A new report says NJ Transit was warned about flooding in its northern New Jersey rail yards months before Superstorm Sandy struck.

Vt Law School lays off two, buys out 10
SOUTH ROYALTON The Vermont Law School has reduced its workforce by 12 people, laying off two and buying out 10 other workers.
Law school spokeswoman Carol Westberg said none of the workers were faculty members.
Westberg said the buyouts were offered to staff in November, with a deadline of Jan. 3 to accept.
The 10 who took buyouts from the South Royalton school have negotiated with the school when they will leave. The two laid-off workers have already left.
President Marc Mihaly told the Valley News that those who took the buyouts received severance packages based on the length of time they had worked at the school.
The downsizing was needed because the school has received fewer applications from potential students over the past three years.MORE IN This Just InBARRE Hannaford Supermarket in South Barre recently presented Project Independence with a much...

THURSDAY, Dec. 19, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Boosting the amount of fiber in your diet may lower your risk for heart disease, a new study finds.
"With so much controversy causing many to avoid carbohydrates and grains, this trial reassures us of the importance of fiber in the prevention of cardiovascular disease," said one expert not connected to the study, Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City.
In the study, researchers led by Diane Threapleton, of the School of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Leeds, in England, analyzed data from the United States, Australia, Europe and Japan to assess different kinds of fiber intake.
Her team looked at total fiber; insoluble fiber (such as that found in whole grains, potato skins) soluble fiber (found in legumes, nuts, oats, barley); cereal; fruits and vegetables and other sources.
The study also looked at two categories of heart disease. One, "coronary heart disease" refers to plaque buildup in the heart's arteries that could lead to a heart attack, according to the American Heart Association. The second type of heart trouble is called "cardiovascular disease" -- an umbrella term for heart and blood vessel conditions that include heart attack, stroke, heart failure and other problems, the AHA explains.
The more total, insoluble, and fruit and vegetable fiber that people consumed, the lower their risk of both types of heart disease, the study found. Increased consumption of soluble fiber led to a greater reduction in cardiovascular disease risk than coronary heart disease risk. Meanwhile, cereal fiber reduced the risk of coronary heart disease more than the risk of cardiovascular disease, researchers found.
For every additional 7 grams per day of fiber consumed, there was a significantly lower risk of both types of disease, according to the study published online Dec. 19 in BMJ.
Sports dietitian Dana Angelo White said the findings are in line with what nutritionists have long known about the importance of a high-fiber diet.
"The tricky part is finding ways to get Americans to eat more [fiber]," said White, who is also an assistant clinical professor at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. "The daily recommendation ranges from 20 to 38 grams per day. This may seem like a tall order for most folks, but can be achieved by making some small dietary changes."
The British study found that adding just 7 grams per day of fiber to the diet boosts heart health. According to White, people can get that amount of fiber from the following:
1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal (7 grams)
1 1/4 cups of shredded wheat cereal (8 grams)
Two slices of whole-wheat bread (6 to 7 grams)
One large pear (8 grams)
1 cup raspberries (8 grams)
1/2 cup black beans (7.5 grams)
The study authors said their findings support current recommendations for increased fiber intake and that the reduced heart disease risk associated with consuming more fiber could potentially benefit "many thousands" of people, according to a journal news release.
Steinbaum added that "it's critical that people understand that whole grains -- such as barley, bulgur, millet, quinoa, brown rice, rye, oats and whole wheat, along with fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds -- are part of a heart-healthy diet."

LONDON (Reuters) - Steve Harmison is likely to quit cricket if he fails to win back his England place, the fast bowler said on Sunday. The Durham paceman was dropped after England lost the first test in New Zealand in March and in his absence the team won two matches in a row to take the series 2-1. "The prospect of playing for England is what drives me and if I felt my chance of doing that was gone the probability is I'd retire from first-class cricket altogether," Harmison told the Mail on Sunday newspaper. "This is not an ultimatum or me trying to impose conditions on anyone. But I am 29 now and if I felt my England career was over I would be tempted to say I want to do something different with my life." Although Harmison retired from one-day internationals in 2006, he is desperate to add to his haul of 212 test wickets. "I am absolutely determined to show I have something to offer England," he said. "I certainly do not believe I am finished. "After a terrible year for me on the field with injuries, operations and so little cricket it is ridiculous, my aim is to bowl fast, take wickets and give the selectors something to think about." England open the three-match home series against New Zealand with the first test at Lord's starting on May 15.

Cops Corner
Date: October 22, 2009
by: Compiled by the Observer Staff
Oct. 8
Unfurnished apartment for rent
12:01 a.m. — 2700 block of Cocoanut Bay Lane. Theft. An apartment owner was evicting a tenant because she didn't pay her rent. The tenant told the owner that she would be moving out and was having a friend help move her stuff. What the owner didn't know is that the two were also taking the owner's stuff. Several pieces of furniture were missing. The owner thinks the tenant took the items to furnish her new place.
Oct. 9
Don't call us …
12:43 p.m. — 400 block of John Ringling Boulevard. Petit Theft. A woman picked out a pair of shorts on a hanger to try on in a dressing room, and she also took a pair of shorts into a corner of the store and shoved them in her purse. The woman went into the dressing room and came out with a used pair of shorts on the hanger and gave them to a store employee. She then headed toward the exit, but before she walked out the door, she asked for a job application and filled it out. The woman was told to come back a few days later for an interview. She did. But store employees invited someone else to be there for the interview — a police officer. The woman was arrested.
Oct. 11
Cold shoulder
9:30 a.m. — 200 block of Lime Avenue. Suspicious Person. A store employee called police to report a man standing outside watching the store, wearing winter clothes. That may not have been all that suspicious this past Monday, but on the day this happened it was 92 degrees.
Oct. 12
Nudist retreat
1:51 a.m. — 6700 block of Sarasea Circle. Disorderly Conduct. A woman staying at a motel went to do her laundry in the community laundry room. She walked in the room and saw a naked man lying on his back on the floor. She called 911, and when a sheriff's deputy arrived, the man was still there, still on the floor, still naked. He was not a guest at the motel. The manager said he had been loitering on the property for the past week and had been harassing customers.
Siren song
9:32 p.m. — Bayfront Park. General Suspicion. A woman on a houseboat told police she heard a woman crying and asking for help. She said the voice was coming from a direction where there were no boats and feared the woman might be in the water. The woman's husband searched the water, but didn't find anything. Rescue workers also searched, but again there was no sign of a woman in the water. The woman said she didn't hear the voice anymore.
Oct. 14
Card shark
Midnight — 1900 Marcia Street. Petit Theft. A woman reported someone had stolen her library card. She may not have noticed the theft, but she received a $124 fine from the library for an unreturned movie that she never borrowed.

It was inevitable that Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather would receive some type of punishment after connecting hard with Ravens receiver Torrey Smith's head in last Saturday's preseason game.
What he got was more than he probably bargained for. The NFL announced on Monday that Meriweather, who has long had a reputation as a head hunter, will be suspended for the first two games of the season.
This is the sixth time Meriweather has been disciplined for hits to an opposing player's head. A year ago, the NFL gave him a two-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit, though it was reduced to one game on appeal. With the track record he has, Meriweather may not be so lucky, assuming he does in fact appeal this particular suspension.
Washington's first two games this year are against Houston and Jacksonville.
Meriweather is doing no one any favors by continuing to lead head first into the head and neck area of offensive players. But it's unlikely he'll change is playing ways anytime soon.

Every page in Craftcycle is filled with exciting eco-friendly crafting ideas, projects for the whole family and seasonal recipes. All the crafting projects featured here, large and small, come with clear instruction, step-by-step guidance and descriptive photos. These fun & green crafting projects are organized by season, so you can make the most of your craft time all year long.
"The first step of craft cycle is to get you to look at what we dispose of with heightened awareness. You might be surprised by the wealth of creative materials that is within your reach. The common by-products of our consumerism lifestyle such as plastic bags, food packaging, cardboard boxes, worn clothing, plastic bottles, and even bike inner tubes are excellent crafting materials. Only, these highly manufactured items often require more than a simple dot of glue or stitch to assemble them into new creations. I found that with a few simple modifications and handy tips, many of the classic crafting techniques such as cutting, folding, ironing, sewing, knitting and crocheting also work well with most of these nontraditional materials." — Heidi Boyd

Help's at hand when preparing Thanksgiving feast
I've never cooked Thanksgiving dinner. We have a small house and live a fur piece from family, so we always go over the river and through to woods, usually to my husband's sister's house.
Sarah always makes it look easy. She's a nursing supervisor and pretty much unflappable. Getting elbow deep into a raw turkey is nothing to her. Balancing five dishes at once? She works like she has 10 arms.
I bring stuff she likes and offer to help. She sometimes gives me five-minute jobs to make me feel useful, but most of the time, I just stand next to the cheese ball and chat with her.
Oh, yeah, she can chat at the same time.
If the tables were turned, I'd start stressing a month in advance and would need daily reassurance that everything was -- somehow -- going to be OK. And I'd need a help-me-with-the-basics don't-panic package with tips, resources and recipes. Something like this.
Here's hoping your feast goes off without a hitch. And if it doesn't, don't call Sarah. She'll be busy making mine.

Kevin Kolb is headed to Arizona as the Eagles and Cardinals reached an agreement on Thursday. Joe Fortenbaugh
Paging Larry Fitzgerald. Larry Fitzgerald, we've found you a quarterback.
And his name is Kevin Kolb.
In a move that surprised…well, nobody, the Philadelphia Eagles traded backup quarterback Kevin Kolb to the Arizona Cardinals Thursday in exchange for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft pick.
What may come as a surprise is the fact that Kolb just inked a five-year, $63 million deal with $20 million guaranteed, per a tweet from Adam Caplan of FOX Sports.com.
Rodgers-Cromartie will join Asante Samuel as the starting cornerbacks in Philly.
The deal had been rumored for quite some time, as the Cardinals needed to upgrade their less-than-stellar quarterback platoon of Max Hall and John Skelton while the Eagles needed to fill a gaping hole in the back end of their defense.
After being selected in the second round of the 2007 NFL draft in a move that surprised many, Kolb instantly became the heir apparent to longtime quarterback Donovan McNabb's throne in Philadelphia. But the 2009 acquisition of current starter Michael Vick threw a wrench into that plan when Vick stepped in and performed admirably for an injured Kolb in a Week 1 showdown against the Packers last season.
After four years in Philadelphia, Kolb exits town having made just seven career starts.
A three-year veteran, Rodgers-Cromartie is coming off a 42-tackle, 3-interception campaign that earned him his first trip to the Pro Bowl. The 25-year-old from Tennessee State made 43 starts for the Cardinals during his three years in Arizona and is expected to step into the starting lineup opposite Asante Samuel in Philadelphia this season.
Now that Kolb is officially headed out west, the Eagles find themselves in need of a quarterback to back-up Michael Vick.
Any thoughts on who they should target?
Will Kolb lead the Cardinals to the playoffs in 2011? Let us know in the NFP Forums!

Sarah has that CREEPY feeling againon November 21st, 2014
Happy Saturday Sarah lovers!!!!! We have some special guests at that tavern today!!!
Fear not Thursday's color version of The Gnome Syndicate is underway, just been busy lately taking care of some other stuff. Not to fear I am working on it and will have it posted later this afternoon.
Until then, here's a preview of the mostly colored version of the first panel.
Fellow Billbarians,
Kevin has drawn a super, fantabulistic, ginormous action-packed, special effects laden, more than worth the wait strip that will be posted late on Monday night for all your enjoyment. But, to make sure you have something to tide you over before that superlatively enhanced strip sees the web, I was able to dust off an old sketch that David did way back in 2008! Does anyone remember this sketch??
Hello Billbarians! I'm glad to see that all is going well at the Wet Gill Tavern. Thought I'd drop by for a pint of mead and a quick visit to say hi and let you know what I've been up to. As promised, I wanted to update everyone on what's been going on, I'm sure there are a few of you out there who have been wondering Well, wait no longer as I've created my very own webcomic over at Oddlyaroused.com. It chronicles the adventures of a professional Cosplayer by the name of Sonya Crimson! Her adventures are just getting started and they promise to be fun, exciting and full of hilarity. Drop by and check out all the strips at www.oddlyaroused.com and come by the facebook site at Jim Collins Art and like my page. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces! – Jim
