Detroit Bad Boys - All Posts A community of Detroit Pistons fans since 2005 https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/48119/detroitbadboys-fave.png 2014-12-20T16:37:39-05:00 http://www.detroitbadboys.com/rss/current/ This is an XML content feed.

James Johnson got decked by Andre Drummond in the heat of basketball and Johnson was not happy about it.

Andre Drummond didn't like James Johnson cocking back and banging on him, peacocking down the court afterward and more than likely felt even more embarrassed that his team was getting their asses handed to them in front of a lot of Raptors fans in their own building.

Well, Johnson didn't like the flagrant foul. As you know, Johnson immediately got up and went after Drummond and several players had to be held back from getting at each other. Johnson's displeasure didn't end there, though. According to Terry Foster at The Detroit News, Johnson appeared to want more after the game:

But Johnson wasn't in a happy mood afterward and was seen lurking near the court where the Pistons exit and near the loading dock where the teams exit. He was escorted away by teammates.

This was seven game minutes and more real-time minutes later. If true, Johnson was obviously still upset and needing to be escorted away by teammates doesn't sound like he was looking for another handshake. (Drummond claimed to shake hands with Johnson after the game and a Raptors media guy corroborated, adding that there were no hard feelings between the two.)

As many people have already mentioned, Johnson is not somebody you want to mess with. He's a black belt nicknamed Bloodsport, undefeated in MMA fights, and carries with him some far more serious alleged anger issues. Yeah, none of that really matters on a basketball court, but we've seen stuff at The Palace that we thought we'd never see. Luckily, nothing escalated and it was just basketball, man.

Andre Drummond finally had enough of James Johnson, who had just dunked on him the trip before.

The loss was the Pistons' 12th straight at The Palace, extending the record of futility they broke on Wednesday night.

The Toronto Raptors showed why they have the best record in the Eastern Conference on Friday night.

At least during the second half they did. The Pistons played to a 52-52 tie in the first half, but were outscored 58-48 in the second half, and it was really not even that close.

Listening on the radio for the first three and a half quarters, if I didn't already know this was a home game I never would've guessed it was one. You could hear the well-traveling Raptors fans chanting We The North and M-V-P for Kyle Lowry ("fat chance of that happening" is how Mark Champion responded) and cheering louder for Raptors baskets than Pistons fans after Pistons baskets despite the fact the Pistons were staying competitive for 24 minutes.

The Raptors took over in the third quarter, scoring the first six points of the quarter and never looking back. The Raptors extended their lead to as many as 16 in the quarter and got the lead up to 22 in the fourth.

I was able to tune into the game around the time James Johnson was beginning to have his way in the paint -- like the Raptors were able to do all night. Dunk. Driving layup. Driving dunk (!!!). It was truly pathetic. What was probably more frustrating than owning up to terrible defense was seeing Johnson flexing, stroking himself the entire trip back to the other end of the court. Andre Drummond finally had enough, responding in true Bad Boys fashion by putting Johnson on his ass the next time down. The Raptors naturally did not like that.

This started a mini-scuffle between the two teams, with four players -- Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, Patrick Patterson, and Chuck Hayes picking up technicals. Even a fan got ejected for exchanging words with Josh Smith.

In all, the Raptors owned The Palace, scoring 60 in the paint. The Pistons outrebounded the Raptors 49-47, but they were no match in stopping the Raptors from penetrating and scoring down low.

Drummond's double-double streak ended with only nine points and 10 rebounds.

Now your thoughts.

There are no actual reports that the teams are discussing a deal. But with both teams disappointing so far, they could help the other improve a weakness by trading from a source of strength.

Stan Van Gundy was brought to the Detroit Pistons in to bring credibility and wins. Instead, the team is worse than ever and 2014-15 almost certainly already a lost cause. More surprisingly, the Phoenix Suns have scuffled in the first quarter of the season. Last year's 48-win darlings sit at 13-14 record and currently reside outside the playoff picture.

In both Detroit and Phoenix it is a case of having too many players for too few spots. Too many bigs in Detroit, too many guards in Phoenix.

 The Pistons have myriad problems but none more pressing than having two big men, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith, fighting for one position. In Phoenix, meanwhile, things just seem slightly off. A year after everything went right too much has gone wrong and the Suns are looking for answers.

In the offseason, instead of trying to shore up any perceived weakness, the team decided to double down on a strength by signing electric point guard Isaiah Thomas. But those potential weaknesses have become pressing realities with the team getting little offensive production and even less defense from big men Alex Len and Miles Plumlee. Now, Thomas is reportedly already upset with his minutes and his role.

In both Detroit and Phoenix it is a case of having too many players for too few spots. Too many bigs in Detroit, too many guards in Phoenix. With each team's strength being the other team's weakness, perhaps there is a deal to be made.

Why the Suns should trade for Greg Monroe

A Monroe-for-Thomas trade is relatively painless to pull off. The Suns are one of the few quality NBA teams who would be armed with enough cap space to re-sign Monroe in the offseason. Monroe would bring the Suns a quality low-post threat who is also an adept passer. While the Suns have an embarrassment of riches along the perimeter, they don't have anybody who can score proficiently on the block. Their lack of offensive diversity could be a reason the team recently attempted 62 percent of their shots from 3-point range in close games during a recent six-game-losing streak. Monroe isn't a great finisher in Detroit's paint-clogged offense, but on a team with four perimeter threats he could have space to get easy looks and open passing lanes to teammates.

Why the Pistons do it

The Pistons would be forfeiting any chance at re-signing Monroe (if any exists) as well as forfeiting the chance at either the cap space or the opportunity to sign-and-trade him for other assets. Thomas, though, might just be worth it. Detroit was reportedly extremely interested in signing Thomas this offseason. It's not hard to understand why.

In Detroit, Thomas would be starting for a team desperate for someone to take command of their offense.

The Pistons, as currently constructed, have nobody that forces the defense to react. It goes a long way toward explaining the team's league-worst field-goal percentage and handful of players having career-worst seasons. Thomas could become the offensive focal point. His ability to draw defenders opens up opportunities for Andre Drummond and the team's bevy of 3-point shooters. It could even lead to improved play from Smith.

In Detroit, Thomas would be starting for a team desperate for someone to take command of their offense. Shouldering an outsized portion of the offensive load might not make sense in talent-rich Phoenix, but the Pistons are starved for it. Just read Bright Side of the Suns's breakdown of Thomas' game and think how it meshes with what Detroit needs from its point guard:

Thomas ran the pick-and-roll on over 40 percent of his possessions, shooting 44.3 percent from the field and scoring 0.89 points per possession, a number that places him inside the top 30 in the NBA.

---- snip ----

Thomas has been short for a long time, and has developed an arsenal of shots to compensate for his lack of height. He's very explosive and has good touch around the basket, using a lot of floaters, short pull-ups and difficult layups around the rim. However, even with his skill it can be difficult for him to get good looks off once he gets into the paint.

Thomas is definitely a scoring point guard, but with his quickness he can really force the issue, collapsing defenses and drawing double-teams. When he does that, he's more than capable of dumping the ball off to the roll man or kicking it out to the popping big for the open jumper.

While former Van Gundy teams have relied heavily on the pick-and-roll, neither Brandon Jennings nor DJ Augustin can handle the responsibility. This has led Van Gundy to rely on Smith as a primary initiator on offense. While Smith is a quality passer, over-reliance on Smith's playmaking has a huge cost in turnovers and low-percentage shots from Smith. Inserting Thomas turns Smith from a primary to a secondary ball handler and turns Jennings from disappointing starter into valuable reserve.

Why Monroe agrees to the trade

No matter how much sense it makes for the Pistons and for the Suns, it ultimately needs to make sense to Monroe, who can veto any trade.

Monroe, however, might welcome a trade to the Suns because he could boost his stats and his profile with the Suns. Reports indicate Monroe's representation wants a trade so Monroe can be showcased in a better situation. In Phoenix, Monroe would go from sixth man to starter and from losing to a playoff race. Also, even if he maintained his middling efficiency, the Suns play at such a fast pace that he would get more shots, more rebounds and more points in the box score.

What Monroe wouldn't provide is better defense, and that's where Josh Smith comes in.

Why the Suns should trade for Josh Smith

First, let's get this out of the way -- the Pistons would certainly have to give up a lottery-protected first-round draft pick in order to unload Smith on the Suns. They'd also have to take back an additional player and maybe send out a Kyle Singler or DJ Augustin in the process. But the move might just be worth it -- for both the Suns and the Pistons.

Phoenix has more than enough offense to go around. But they lack a defensive presence in the paint. Smith is blocking 1.7 shots per game, remains an adequate rebounder and is defending the paint well this season.

 Opponents are converting just 46.6 percent at the rim against Smith this season, per NBA stats. The Suns bigs (Len, Plumlee and Markieff Morris) are allowing opponents to hit 57.8 percent, 54.7 percent and 51.5 percent, respectively).

While a huge risk, what Smith can do on offensive end fits nicely within the Suns' system. They get out and run, pass constantly and have shooters all over the floor. Smith, of course, wouldn't be of those shooters, but if he focuses on defense, driving into the lane and kicking out to other, better shooters he could thrive.

The chance of Smith Smith joining the 3-point brigade, whether asked to or not, remains very real, however. And that is why the Suns would get a first-round pick to take on that risk. Even if Smith disappoints, the Suns get a Detroit first to go with future first from the Timberwolves and the Lakers. They could package their handful of first rounders if a deal for a star emerged (sending Smith's fat contract on with it) or keep the picks and draft quality, cheap talent as they start pressing up to the salary cap.

Why the Pistons do it

Well, duh.

The Pistons are reluctant to repeat the mistake of jettisoning Ben Gordon and losing a quality first-rounder in the process, but relieving themselves of Smith and receiving a player the caliber of Thomas more than cushions that blow. Thomas might not so well in Phoenix but he could be the perfect No. 1 option on a talent-deficient team like the Pistons. Crucially, he could actually aid the development of Detroit's young players instead of detract from it. And it's all about building toward the future in Detroit.

It's been too long. We missed you. Join Ben and Steve as we talk about what it means to be a Pistons fan, Andre Drummond's recent resurgence, Greg Monroe's future (and trade value), and more.

After a (too) long hiatus, the Detroit Bad Boys podcast is back! In this episode, Ben (brgulker) and Steve (Shinons*) discuss a long list of topics:

What does it mean to be a Pistons fan after more than half a decade of losing? How long can and should the fanbase support a franchise that seems to lack a clear direction for improvement? We're losing patience, not because the team is losing, but because the team hasn't put together a coherent plan to stop the losing over the long term.

Should the Pistons embrace the losing and hope for a good lottery pick? Or, should the Pistons make some rotation and strategy changes in order to make a playoff run? Shockingly, they're not that far from competing for a playoff berth.

After a rough start, Andre Drummond seems to be coming alive. What has caused the more Penguin-y play of late?

Rajon Rondo was traded to the Mavs – what does that tell the Pistons about Greg Monroe's trade value?

And what about Jonas Jerebko? Stan Van Gundy said he's going to start playing him more minutes. We likey.

After a horrible start to the year, Drummond's game is finally rounding into form.

When you have the second-most losses of anyone else in the NBA, it's hard to get too excited about anything. But regardless of whether the team struggled this year, there was one thing Pistons fans could hang their hats on -- the emergence of Andre Drummond.

So as the losses piled up, it was doubly crushing to see Detroit's franchise cornerstone struggle so mightily to begin the year. Drummond, who talked about taking a leadership role on the team before the season began, couldn't seem to do anything right on either end of the floor.

He's playing better because the post-ups are limited, his point guards are finally looking for him on the pick-and-roll and he's playing with energy. Simply, he looks like he's enjoying himself again.

His penchant for fouls kept his minutes down and his frustration was visible. In his first 12 games he played less than 30 minutes eight times. But in the past 14 games he's played that few minutes only three times.

From a fan's perspective, even more frustrating than his constant push-offs and early foul trouble was his lack of efficiency at the offensive and, and that seems to be coming around lately as well.

The losses are still piling up, yes, but even in Wednesday's 117-106 defeat to the Mavericks, Drummond delivered the kind of performance his fans expect of him. Drummond had 19 points, 24 rebounds, four steals and three blocks.

Drummond was the first player to record at least 24 rebounds, four steals and three blocks since Vlade Divac in 1995. It was the kind of game that makes people think he can be a franchise player, even if he never becomes a back-to-the-basket post threat.

In his past eight games, Drummond has gone from inefficient young player to a big penguin on the prowl. After shooting just 44 percent in his first 16 games he has shot 55.8 percent in his past eight. He's playing better because the post-ups are limited, his point guards are finally looking for him on the pick-and-roll and he's playing with energy. Simply, he looks like he's enjoying himself again.

His rebounding, steals and blocks are also up.

His defense is also improved. While he's nowhere near a great post defender yet, he is markedly better than last season.

Of the 28 players who defended at least seven shots at the rim last year, Drummond ranked just 22nd, allowing opponents to shoot 53.1 percent. This year, though, that number is up to 15th (of 34 qualified players) and he is allowing just 48.5 percent at the rim.

There are plenty of reasons to be down on the Pistons, and plenty of players that should be on the trade block, but thankfully, Drummond doesn't appear to be one of them.

It's been a month and a half since the Pistons last won at home, hitting a franchise mark for ineptitude for a single season.

Well it's been a season for the record books for the Pistons so far, but not the good ones. With their loss to the Dallas Mavericks last night, the Pistons dropped their 11th straight game at the Palace of Auburn Hills giving the longest single-season home losing streak in franchise history.

The Pistons have a longer home losing streak that stretched across the offseason back in 1980. They lost seven games at the Pontiac Silverdome as part of a greater 14 game losing streak to close out the 1979-80 season, then they opened the 1980-81 season with a seven game losing streak that included four games at the dome. Their home losing streak that season reached six before a 28 point win to a Mavericks team that would go on to win only 15 games that season.

For those of you counting at home, that's a 13 game home losing streak.

Those were some hard times for the Pistons, as earlier in the 79-80 season they also lost 10 straight at home.

Our current squad looks to give them a run for their money though. They play tomorrow night at home against the Eastern Conference's best team the 20-6 Toronto Raptors before hosting the Indiana Pacers on December 26. The Pacers have absolutely owned the Pistons over the past five years, winning 17 of the past 21 meetings. If the good lord's willing and the creek don't rise, the shot at the overall record would come on January 4 against the Sacramento Kings.

The current streak pulls the Pistons into a tie for the 23rd longest home losing streak in NBA history. The longest belongs to the Mavs at 19 games from November 1993 to January 1994.

November 7 was the last time the Pistons won a game at the Palace, when the Bucks youngsters collapsed down the stretch to help the Pistons win 98-95. And fans are noticing. The Pistons are averaging an attendance of only 13,659 at home, compared to 15,005 last year.

They have a sizable gap at the bottom of the league for both average attendance and percentage of capacity. They're filling 61.9 percent of the Palace's seats, with the Philadelphia 76ers next at 69.7 percent.

Only 12,287 fans showed up last night, and David Mayo and Vincent Goodwill offered an apt description via Twitter:

Positioned in the Intramuros district of Manila, Philippines is the ominous Manila Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica. During the course of more than three centuries, the structure underwent numerous reconstructions due to natural catastrophes. The Philippines is also the birthplace of featured jewelry designer Crystalyn Yason.
Ladies, sometimes we feel the stirrings of our inner goddess, and on those occasions we feel the need to make an unforgettable entrance to a party or even our workplace.
We often respond to those stirrings by getting a new haircut or trying out a new hair color. We try a different clothing style, or look for a great accessory like a bold jewelry piece.
Yason's statement making, one-of-a-kind bead jewelry collections are a perfect contrast for adding just the right amount of oomph to a solid-colored turtleneck, or tank dress.
The self-taught designer's first foray into the jewelry industry came in 2001 after establishing a small jewelry business with her mother. "My mother taught me some basic techniques on bead stringing and wire working. The business lasted for almost a year," she recalls.
"Several years later my husband and I moved to the United States due to his occupation. My visa does not allow me to work in the United States, so I had a lot of free time and since working with my mom I felt that I should be doing something in terms of jewelry making and design.
One day, while in a bookstore, I found some books about bead weaving and bead embroidery techniques, and I wanted to learn them. I read books like the Bead Romantique by Lisa Kan, and The Art and Elegance of Beadweaving by Carol Cox Wells, as well as finding information on the internet.
It took me around three years of study, and a lot of trial and error before setting up my online store, Cryst Jewelries, to share my passion with others."
Two of Yason's brilliantly colored collections, Hollywood Glamour, and Fit for a Queen, highlight bold, chunky pieces reminiscent of designers Ayala Bar (Israel), and Elizabeth Wahyu (Indonesia), while her collection Simple yet Elegant displays her panache for streamlined proportions.
She builds her incredible designs from vintage glass, seed beads, semi-precious stones, and Crystallized Swarovski Elements making certain Mother Earth informs many of her creations. The polychromatic assortment of beads and crystals brings to mind shaved ice drenched with multi-colored syrup.
"The details of the things I find in nature--the color combinations and variety of shapes influence how I create a piece. For instance, my Abstract on the Beach Necklace is inspired by the shape and color of ocean waves," she explains.
"A nature photograph I saw from the book The Nature of Wisdom inspires the colors of my A Walk in Nature Necklace. The image is of a lake surrounded by trees that are different shades of green, and I emulated the color combinations."
Nature is not Yason's only source of influence and inspiration, her homeland plays a large role as well.
"My designs are also influenced by my birthplace, a municipality named Lucban. It is known for its annual Pahiyas Festival. Houses are adorned with colorful decorations made of fruit, vegetables, and miscellaneous handicrafts," she says.
"The creativity of the people here – how they create magnificent and colorful decorations by using native products and sharing them with people from around the world--is such an inspiration.
Whenever I lay out a bunch of beads on my work table, design ideas start to pop in my head until a complete design emerges from mixing and matching the beads."
To create her designs, Yason implements four stitching techniques: Peyote, Square, Brick, and Ndebele, as well as Right-Angle Weave and Fringe.
"I express my individuality through my jewelry and my mission is to provide women with truly distinctive pieces they won't find on anyone else."
Yason's skillful arrangement of materials is visually stunning, and also very affordable.
Yason's jewelry prices are listed on her website in Php (Philippine Peso) beneath photos of her jewelry items, so be sure to enlist a conversion table to obtain prices for your region. For example, 1000 Philippine Pesos is the equivalent of $21.62 in USD.

Great information. Traditional Indian jewelry included various polki designs. Recently I purchased a polki set from the site www.kaneesha.com and I was amazed to see their collection of wide range of designs form traditional to the latest trend. I received so many compliments for it so my next purchase from this site is confirmed.

Report: Consumer Sentiment Highest in 14 Months
The increase in the headline index was driven by a more than four-point improvement in the gauge of consumer expectations, which rose to 75.6. On the other hand, the Current Conditions Index fell more a point to 98.5. According to Paul Diggle, U.S. economist for Capital Economics, the small decline "could reflect the weaker pace of payroll growth in August or even the slowdown in some measures of housing market activity."Read More »

Q1 GDP Declines; 'Marked Turnaround' Expected for Q2
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released Thursday its second look at gross domestic product(GDP) for Q1, estimating an annualized 1.0 percent decline as private inventory investment dropped further than originally reported. BEA's first estimate, released late April, put growth at an estimated annual rate of 0.1 percent compared to Q4's final rate of 2.6 percent.Read More »
Economists Surprised by Drop in Consumer Sentiment
The University of Michigan's preliminary Index of Consumer Sentiment report shows a drop in confidence for November--and Capital Economics' Amna Asaf is at a loss to explain why. The index fell from 73.2 to a two-year low of 72.0 in the first November report. With the economy in a relatively healthier position compared to last month, Asaf--an economist for the macroeconomics research firm--says the decline is something of a surprise.Read More »
Lawmakers' Lack of Governance Has Minimal Impact on Confidence
Are Americans so accustomed to the ineffectiveness and triviality of Congress that the threat of a third week with essentially no governing body barely registers a blip on consumers' confidence scale? The University of Michigan's Index of Consumer Sentiment was better than many analysts were expecting given the situation in Washington, dropping from 77.5 at the end of September to 75.2 at mid-October.Read More »
Report: Sellers Returning as Investors Pull Out
In Capital Economics' latest edition of US Housing Market Analyst, property economist Paul Diggle notes investor activity has fallen off nearly one-fifth over the last four months, with investor sales dropping to 18 percent as inventory of distressed homes declines. On the other hand, the ongoing rise in prices has encouraged more sellers to enter the market, which should temper further gains. ""With sellers motivated by the earlier rise in house prices, we expect the loosening in supply conditions to go much further over the next year,"" Diggle said.Read More »
Delinquencies Continue Decline; Highest Among Alt-A, Subprime Loans
Delinquencies and foreclosures are continuing to decline with higher concentrations among Alt-A and subprime loans, according to the latest Mortgage Market Monitor from Lender Processing Services (LPS). Foreclosures are down 31 percent year-over-year in July, while delinquencies are down 9 percent, according to LPS data. Both delinquencies and foreclosures declined over the 12-month period among all types of loans, except Alt-A and subprime loans.Read More »
Analysts Weigh in on Potential Impact of Proposed QRM Rule
Following the release of the revised Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM) rule from six federal agencies, several analysts offered insight into how the revisions might benefit or impede progress in the mortgage market. Fitch Ratings believes adopting a QRM standard that mirrors the QM definition will trigger more activity for the jumbo origination and securitization market. Capital Economics, though, noted the QM and QRM proposals aren't much help when it comes to the long-term goal of reducing the presence of the GSEs in the mortgage market.Read More »
Price Gains to Slow But Recovery Will Continue
With strong price gains continuing to make headlines, industry analysts are quick to assure us we are not in the midst of another bubble. The current pace of price appreciation will not endure much longer, they say. CoreLogic, Zillow, and other industry observers concur prices appreciation is set to slow, and Monday's report from Capital Economics reinforces this prediction. What is unique about Capital Economics' viewpoint is the firm anticipates ""a more marked slowdown in the pace of house price gains over the next year than other commentators.""Read More »

Samurai Warriors 3: Gackt, 80,000 more at festival
Wow, what a promotional event. To promote Wii game Samurai Warriors 3, Koei is pulling out all the stops. We already knew that Japanese superstar GACKT was involved. He ended up doing some voice acting for the title, but more importantly, he recorded both the theme song and the ending song for Samurai Warriors 3. Both songs were released as a single last month, and now the artist will be showing up at this festival to perform those songs live.
The two-day event, scheduled to take place on March 6 and 7 in Saitama, will be set as a scene from the Sengoku period (15th to 17th century Japan) to celebrate the country's history and culture, as well as the setting of the game. I've been to some pretty big promotional events for games, but 80k people and a concert by one of Japan's most popular musicians? Wow, Koei!
Here's How You Promote A Game! [gamegrep]

Barry Diller Isn't The Kind Of Boss Who Fires You For Stuff Like Drawing His Face On A Pen!sBy Bess Levin
Barry Diller sure must be a forgiving guy. Sean Rad, 27, is sitting pretty as Tinder's chief executive despite allegedly describing his boss, IAC/InterActiveCorp Chairman Diller, as a d–k and texting a drawing of Diller as such, The Post has learned. Word of the penis put-down emerged this week in an explosive lawsuit filed by Whitney Wolfe, a 24-year-old former Tinder exec who says she was sexually harassed by Rad and fellow co-founder Justin Mateen. [NYP]

Rad wants to suk Barry's dillleeerrrrrrrrrrrr
I don't get this lawsuit. Isn't Tinder about meeting and hooking up with people for sex? I would guess that at least 10% of the participants on the site end up getting sexually harassed by the people they hook up with so she's just one of the 10%– a bunny boiler 10%.
Frivolous case. Court adjourned.
You think Barry Diller gives two shits? He wipes his ass with people like this. Having a fuckton of money means peoples feelings about you are no longer your concern.
I agree with the prior comment, Tinder is a fuckin pathetic app where no one even gets ass off of it
In the context of things, he probably doesn't mind the reference….
Wanna meet a Minetta's and fuck a little?
Maybe the drawing portrayed Barry as more gifted than he actually is and he was ok with having people think that?
Does Tinder really have "execs"?
Diller's face does look like a wrinkly old guy penis, maybe he was being literal.

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
This is the first of three efforts examining how irrigation institutions affect equilibrium stealing and enforcement rates. In this chapter, we examine rule—following and rule—enforcement rates of behavior adopted by irrigators on systems where rules are self—enforced rather than enforced by formal guards. To do this, we assume that irrigators rotate into the position of a turntaker. When in the position of a turntaker, they choose between taking a legal amount of water and taking more water than authorized (stealing). The other irrigators are turnwaiters who must decide whether to expend resources to monitor the behavior of the turntaker or not. In all our models, we find no combination of parameters where the rate of stealing by the turntaker falls to zero. In other words, there is always some stealing going on.
We give a complete equilibrium analysis for the situation where all irrigators have the same payoffs, monitoring efficiencies, and norms of behavior. Then, we examine how stealing and monitoring rates are affected by changes in parameters including: number of irrigators. cost of monitoring, detection probabilities, relative benefits of stealing, losses felt when stealing occurs, and the reward for successful discovery of a stealing event. Our final analysis addresses how the introduction of asymmetries in payoffs, monitoring efficiencies, and/or norms of behavior affects the distribution of equilibrium outcomes. One consequence of asymmetry is that there is no longer a unique Nash equilibrium. We find both paradoxical and non—paradoxical equilibria. In the paradoxical equilibria, just those turnwaiters monitor less who are inherently in a better position to monitor. In the non—paradoxical equilibria, one class of turnwaiters sticks to a pure strategy while the turntaker adjusts his stealing rate to the cost—benefit ratio of the others who are monitoring at an intermediate rate.
Several of our results are counterintuitive at first sight and reflect the interactive nature of the situation and the interdependence of the players. Our findings also contribute to a more general understanding of the relative weight of 'primary' and 'secondary' interaction effects in a mixed—strategy context.

Hi everyone!
|Sun, 01-27-2008 - 3:48pm
That's such a personal decision. Being "worth it" depends on what's most important to you. If you are focused mainly on making money, then no it doesn't seem like it's worth it for all the hassle. If you feel like you need to get out of the house to be sane, then it's worth it.
|Mon, 01-28-2008 - 9:00am
That is a hard decision. I know personally I would probably go back to work when the youngest is in school. You said he is starting school in the Fall. That may be a good time for you to make your move. It sounds like you have a lot of kids to keep track of.
|Mon, 01-28-2008 - 3:49pm
Your a single mom living with your children your boyfriends children and him and you are honestly asking us if you should go back to work?
|Tue, 02-12-2008 - 5:38pm
Working from home might be for you. You can set your own schedule, feel like you are contributing, and be with your children at the same time. Let me know if you want any more information.

I think you guys are a little "SPAM crazy". That's not spam. If she posted her website, or e-mail, it would be spam right?
I like spam. I once ate spam cubes mixed with Ramen noodles after hiking for 6 hours. It was delightful!

Tom's Appliance Service was started in 1946 by Tom Stralkowski while working part-time as a service technician at Chatlins Department Store in Norristown. His wife Anne answered the phone and scheduled the service calls. In March of 1969 his son Ron graduated from electronics technical school and began working full time along side his father. In 1986, Tom suffered a heart attack on the job...

A friend of mine and Tom's called him to stop by and check out my washing machine that wasn't spinning correctly. Originally, Tom's was to stop by in a couple of days but he called back indicating he was in my area so he wanted to stop by in the same trip, same day. Beautiful, right? Only when he got there, he spent about 10 minutes total to remove the front panel and indicate that the motor was shot. His recommendation… $200 to replace + labor costs, or he has two used washing machines he would replace it with for either $319 or $329 depending on which machine I wanted (Kenmore or Whirpool). I asked for the model numbers on the machines for some quick research to be sure I wasn't paying $300+ for a machine that is less than $400 brand new, and quickly that conversation ended because they couldn't provide the model numbers. This was concerning consider they're trying to sell a used machine and either don't have or won't provide a model number. Then, I got a bill for $89 (undisclosed up front as if it was contingent on whether or not I would buy one of their "used" machines) to cover the 10 minutes of looking at the machine and taking off the front panel. For barely any labor (literally looking at the machine), and zero parts, $89 for ten minutes amounts to over $500 for an hour. I understand having to make a living and support your small business, but the combination of that cost for 10 minutes and not wanting to provide model numbers on possible used replacement washers, Tom's came off as shady and completely financially driven with little motivation to add any real service. I later called to have them read the invoice to me simply because the handwriting was illegible, and the lady on the phone got all defensive and ended up hanging up on me after cursing at me…how professional.
I would heavily caution against using Tom's Appliance Service for any business services.
Thank You, Yes it is a Family owned and operated business for 3 generations and it is my Wife who answers the phone. We answer from 8:30 till 5:00 !!!
My parents always had service done by Tom's appliances as did I when I became a homeowner. Straight shooter, told us what the issue was and what we were looking at to fix it. Service does come with a price and it is true, you do get what you pay for, Tom's is worth the price.
