Allen demastus.yes i know him. Is he out of jail yet. Yes he knows slim but hes got my name wrong. Probly dont want to remember becase he owes me forty dollars.
Well I dont know exact but id guess hes about 27 to maybe 30. Id say hes about 5-9 or 5-10 and 175 to maybe 190 pouns. Short dirty blonde hair and kinda scruffy lookin and hair a little bit thin on top. And hes about fourty dollars heavier than he should be cause hes totin some of slims money. He must be a buddy of yourn but hes been in jail more than once or twice. And you owe slim more than one apology.
Not a friend. Just met him. Description doesn't fit other than the jail part. Hard to believe much he says.
He told me you owe him money from last time you 2 played. But I couldn't get him to play me. Said you were real cocky. Told me where you worked. Described you.
Did say the acting illiterate was an act and you weren't that slow. He thought you might even have some college. He said you were real mouthy.
He did say that you went other places and played pool but he couldn't imagine you beating good players.
Don't shoot the messenger, slim. I'm just telling you what he said.
May God bless all of you.
BTW, I do apologize. He is older than that and hair is darker but rest of description is right.
Demastus is a con man. He was hanging around the Midtown Lounge the past 7 days until cops caught up with him.
Acted like he had a lot of money but I ended up buying HIM a beer. LOL!
Seemed like a 2 bit hustler so your description overall rang true.
May God bless all of you.
Apology accepted.yes he is a liar and a crook. We played for twenty a rack and i lightened him up by a hundred and twenty. We payed one more rack for the bar bill and he lost that to. Said he had to go to the truck to get the money to pay. I throwed fourty on the bar and followed him outside. Slim aint seen him since.
Ive knowed him off and on here and there for about ten year. Hes got worse and worse and werent worth much to start with. If his hairs darker he might of died it. Crooks do that sometimes.
Did he hustle anyone there. Hes a ok player when he wants to be.

"We wanted an invitation that wasn't too girly. My twin daughters chose this one. Our whole family loves it. We were able to customize the response card so it became the "about the party" card instead. Tiny Prints was very helpful in the customization process. We uploaded jpegs of the Hebrew names to include in the invitation."
"The invitation is perfect, simple but beautiful. We were able to add Hebrew text for our son's name which was a big plus. The colour is vibrant and the paper quality is excellent. Totally satisfied with the product. As well, customer service were wonderful! Shipping was super fast. All in all, an amazing experience with this company."
"I got the upgraded thick paper and rounded edges. Great paper quality and design. Tiny Prints mailed the invitations as well. They exceeded my expectations in every aspect! Guests received invitations 5 days earlier than promised by TP. Thanks!"
"I thought I was taking a chance ordering on line but I was wrong. I would use this company again. There were no mistakes. We picked our choice of font and played around with the wording. I ordered the thicker paper for our one page invitation and the firmness was just what I was looking for. My order came early and I got feedback from friends on how professional the cards looked. I had to contact customer service with a question and spoke to someone right away. She was very knowledgeable about the products and very polite."
"I was a little hesitant ordering online, wondering if the quality of the product could be as good as it looked on my computer. In particular I was worried what the paper would feel like. I'm happy to report that the card has a nice, solid feel to it. Though the cards are smaller than traditional invites, they still look substantial. (In other words, they look good!) I love the stripes on the back side, which makes the cards stand out from more "traditional" designs. I was also very happy with the customer service."

It was an iPhone Christmas at our house and I needed two covers - these did the job admirably (and cheaply) whilst keeping the lightweight slimness of the iPhone and adding a little personality with color. I like that they are see-thru, but protected it from scratches after all the phone is cool looking why cover it up? I might buy more just for variety as they are such a deal!!! I have a more expensive one for my phone but it looks and acts the same.
It's a plastic case, but I got 2 of them and i don't regret it. Fit phone well. It also made the phone a little heavier and less slippery (I like how it handles better now. Before the phone slipped off my hands frequently when I was trying to hit icons on the top row). Definitely would recommend.
I liked the price and I think I paid for what it was worth.
I bought this for my sister and she likes it alot. She says its protected her phone for multiple drops.
very nice. fit well and looked good with the phone.
Exactly as pictured. Fits very snugly on the phone.
This is a very simple, hard plastic case. It is kind of flimsy and seems like it would be easy to break just trying to snap it onto the phone. I don't believe it would survive one drop. Because of the hard, shiny plastic it is made of, it scratches easily.
This is a great product for the price. It is cool and sleek. iPhone never fell out of the case (like what happened with many other cases). Highly recommended.

Free tire recycling event in Plumas County
Someday, Plumas County residents may drive on roads they helped create through a tire-recycling event scheduled Saturday, Nov. 6, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Plumas residents are encouraged to turn in old tires during the event at the Plumas County Department of Public Works office in East Quincy. Each resident can bring up to nine tires for recycling free of charge.
"Recent events collected 789 tires in the Graeagle area and 1,495 tires in the Indian Valley area. We are hoping for another great turnout. The Indian Valley community event was overwhelming, people were hauling tires in from the forest, the valley, the creeks as well as their neighbors' backyard," said Phyllis Taddei, fiscal officer and grant administrator.
"With every tire brought in, the community is doing their part for the environment, and not only keeping our county safe from the dangers and health hazards of stockpiled tires, but putting those tires to a better use."
Tires collected from the event may end up as rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) or tire-derived aggregate (TDA) in civil engineering projects throughout the county.
RAC is pavement material made with shredded scrap tires that is more durable, safer and quieter than traditional asphalt.
TDA is the second largest reuse of tires in the U.S. and helps solve a number of engineering problems where cost-effective lightweight and free-draining materials are needed.
CalRecycle, also known as the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, has just launched "Green Roads," a program to raise awareness about the products and promote their use throughout California.
To learn more about "Green Roads" and CalRecycle's efforts to keep waste tires out of landfills and stockpiles, visit PavingGreenRoads.com.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Will House, Senate continue the feud?
The negotiations look to be fierce and ugly this year, foremost because the House is controlled by Democrats and the Senate by Republicans.
The Senate last Thursday killed two bills the House passed to increase revenue, a 20 cent tobacco tax increase and a 12 cent increase in the gas tax over three years.
Some key House and Senate players had worked out a deal that if gambling passed the House, the Senate would go along with a 4 or 5 cent increase in the gas tax to raise money for road and bridge projects. That increase would at least pay for finishing the Interstate 93 expansion from Salem to Manchester and avoid layoffs at the Department of Transportation.
The House Public Works and Highways Committee will also decide on Bragdon's pet project, Senate Bill 3, to eliminate one of the three ramp tolls off the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, the largest town in his Senate district.
Here's betting the gas tax may show up on this bill.
The Next Big Fight: Now that each body's preferred revenue source has been killed, all eyes are likely to turn to Medicaid expansion for the next big battle between the House and the Senate.
Expansion would also provide state health care providers with an estimated $2.5 billion over the next seven years when the federal government pays from 100 to 90 percent of the cost of the new Medicaid recipients.
But GOP senators have balked at expanding the program, saying the federal government has not lived up to its promises, using special education as an example.
He and Morse say they want more information before expanding the program, a frequent refrain from critics.
The Senate Finance Committee is expected to add its weight to the fight Tuesday when it decides on a bill concerning the state and federal partnership for the state's health insurance exchange required under the Affordable Care Act.
Medicaid expansion will be one of the major sticking points during budget negotiations between the House and Senate.
Social Media Passwords: The Senate takes up a bill this week that would prevent employers from requiring an employee or prospective employee to divulge his or her password to social media or email accounts.
The bill would not limit an employer's right to adopt and enforce workplace policies on equipment or Internet use or to monitor an employee's use of company equipment.
The 21st century comes to the New Hampshire General Court.

Re: Blockchains 1950 Gana team bike What sort of shifting mechanism is that ? Looks very different !!!
Re: Blockchains 1950 Gana team bikeI think that it is Campagnolo's Cambio corsa shifter. I can't tell if it's got 2 rods or 1. If it is one rod it is the rarer Paris Roubaix. Basically to shift the rider reached down to the lever on the rear brake stay which opened the quick release skewer then the other lever was turned to the direction of the cog you wanted whilst back pedalling the cranks. Once the required gear was selected the quick release was refastened. You have to remember that this was all down whilst pedaling in racing conditions .
Bike weight in the steel realmThe Gana is fitted with the one lever Campagnolo Paris to Roubaix system. The earlier two lever system is known as the Campagnolo Corsa.
First notice that the fork end or drop out has a tooth rack cut in the top of it. The axle has as a mating spline, this allows the wheel when unclamped to move backwards and forwards without getting out of line. In the Corsa system you unclamp the axle with the top lever and then select the required gear with the lower lever whilst pedalling backwards. The weight of the rider and forward motion automatically adjust the chain tension. The top lever is then re locked and you can pedal forward again. The shortcoming with the system is the chain tends to over tension which makes for very inefficient peddalling. The second Paris to Roubaix was developed to over come the over tensioning and speed up gear changing. Here only one lever is used, the first part of the arc of motion opens the axle clamp, as you continue the chain moving arm is picked up and you back pedal to change sprockets. Now the cunning bit - as you close the lever the tiny ratchet and paul that can be seen in the picture is bought into play and it rotates the axle slightly forward making sure the chain is not over tensioned. There was a final version where the chain moving arm works on the bottom of the chain so you pedal forward to select the required sprocket but these are seriously rare. I have ridden both systems and with concentration and practice gear changing can be done reasonably quickly. The Gana with long wheel base and good fork geometary is a total joy to ride of course. When you stop and realise that for a good many years before these appeared people like Simplex and Cyclo had what we now consider conventional systems that worked easly and perfectly you realsie Campagnolo were not always the smartest kid on the block. However then they realised the Gran Sport the best of all. It is said that when the Italian Ace Gino Bartelli first tried the Corsa system he said "it is nearly as good as a one gear bike and not a lot heavier". When I first tried the Corsa I rang Warren Meade and asked him how he rode his Olmo Campagnolo Corsa and he said "I usually ride it in the gear I start off on"! Cheers.
My Shogun Tri-Sport weighed 10.5kg on the bathroom scales. But I thought that was too heavy as it feels really light to me so I weighed it again and it came in at 11! I'm going to stick with the first weight (or maybe buy some better scales).

And going for a tidy sum in 24 hours time! 300g difference from that to a Repco Superlite...hard to believe... Jim MY RIDES: My Velospace Profile
A late 80's 50cm (?) Tange Infinity Victory Tri-A for sale on eBay at the moment (not mine). Might be a nice sub-2kg frame for a shorter person.....
Ahhh.... steel is real! you know (what this means is steel is for life, barring unforseen collisions)
Aluminium alloy is the next best thing - OK until next.... month, year, quite likely. Next decade - probably not. I've just seen an aquaintance who uses a Giant alloy MTB for his commute. It would only be 5-8 years old, tops. Frame is stuffed, cracked at the top of the seat tube. Already broken and been repaired once, now broken again . It's cactus! The only broken steel frames I've seen have been in some sort of crash or got bent and fatigued later. Steel really is real - real lifespan. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
1.5kg sounds reasonable for an alloy frame. looking at ride magazine, the lightest (carbon) frame you can buy off the rack comes in at ~800g, and you'll be paying thousands for the honour. i doubt you could pick up a sub 1000g alloy frame.
could i expect to find a 1500g steel frame, custom or otherwise? how much would the lightest available (traditional geometry) 54-58cm steel frame weigh in at?
http://www.matuzmaster.hu/en/vintage-frames/#bianchi Quite a few on this site at less than 2kg, some as light as 1690gms.
Another weight: I weighed the Malvern Star Triathlete frame I'm selling here and here.
It's a huge frame - 62 x 57 cm. Bathroom scales give it as 2.3kg including headset races (give or take a fair bit... they're bathroom scales after all). They sure do use light gauge tubing on decent quality frames: (and I'm pretty sure it's butted tubing, so even thinner in the middle). tim

Capuano looks to help Dodgers halt mini skid
Club has had difficult time with Marlins, who counter with Turner
The Dodgers have looked unstoppable at times, but not against the Marlins.
Los Angeles is 25-5 in the second half, 42-10 since June 22 and unbeaten in its past 17 series. But the Dodgers are 2-2 this season against the Marlins, who own the worst record in the National League.
The Dodgers fell to the Marlins, 6-2, in the series opener on Monday to lose consecutive games for the first time since June 20-21 in San Diego. Los Angeles will look to avoid its first three-game losing skid in more than two months on Tuesday behind Chris Capuano.
Capuano has been up and down lately, but the Dodgers are unbeaten in the left-hander's past six starts. Capuano has three scoreless outings during that stretch, and three starts allowing at least four earned runs.
Capuano beat Miami on May 12 at Dodger Stadium, yielding one run on five hits with seven strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. His best performance last season came at Marlins Park, when he fanned 10 over eight scoreless innings on Aug. 12.
The Marlins, meanwhile, have won four of their past six games. Miami is 7-10 this month, but has navigated a tough schedule with five series against playoff contenders in the Indians, Pirates, Braves, Royals and Dodgers.
"We've run into some hot teams," said Marlins right-hander Jacob Turner, who will start on Tuesday. "It's a matter of stepping up our level. ... We've been playing well. We've been competitive."
Turner has three no-decisions in his past four starts, and has not won since July 10. He's allowed two or fewer earned runs 10 of his 14 starts this season, going 3-4 with a 2.89 ERA.
Dodgers: Wilson becomes eighth reliever in bullpen
The Dodgers activated Brian Wilson from the disabled list on Monday, giving the club eight relievers.
The Dodgers optioned outfielder Scott Van Slyke in a corresponding roster move, and will play with a short bench until rosters expand Sept. 1, which has manager Don Mattingly "a little" concerned.
"It's something we'll try to navigate," Mattingly said. "It comes into play when the starter doesn't go deep and we have to pinch-hit a few times."
Still, the Dodgers could utilize Zack Greinke as a pinch-hitter when he's not starting. Greinke is hitting .357 this season and has experience as a pinch-hitter.
Wilson, 31, has not pitched in the Majors since April 2012, when he had Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. The former Giants closer signed with the Dodgers as a free agent on July 30, and made four scoreless appearances during a Minor League rehab assignment this month.
Marlins: Polanco out with concussion
The Marlins placed Placido Polanco on the seven-day concussion disabled list on Monday, but they aren't sure if the infielder will need longer than a week to recover.
"It's hard to tell," manager Mike Redmond said. "When you're dealing with concussions, those things are so serious. It's a matter of waiting and seeing. We will see how he feels the next five or six days."
Polanco was hit on the left side of his helmet by a 94-mph fastball from Giants reliever Santiago Casilla on Friday.
In a corresponding roster move, the Marlins promoted infielder Gil Velazquez from Triple-A New Orleans and transferred outfielder Marcell Ozuna to the 60-day disabled list.
Polanco, 38, is hitting .253 in 91 games this season. He's split playing time at third base with Ed Lucas.
Worth noting
• Dodgers rookie outfielder Yasiel Puig is hitless in his last 11 at-bats and 6-for-35 (.171) over his past nine games.
• Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison is 5-for-17 (.294) lifetime against Capuano with one home run and three RBIs.

How Apple stays years ahead of the competition
There's a fascinating answer up on Quora that suggests how Apple uses their massive $70 billion bank account to literally stay years ahead of the competition when it comes to manufacturing and components.
Apple actually uses its cash hoard in a very interesting way to maintain a decisive advantage over its rivals: When new component technologies (touchscreens, chips, LED displays) first come out, they are very expensive to produce, and building a factory that can produce them in mass quantities is even more expensive. Oftentimes, the upfront capital expenditure can be so huge and the margins are small enough (and shrink over time as the component is rapidly commoditized) that the companies who would build these factories cannot raise sufficient investment capital to cover the costs.
What Apple does is use its cash hoard to pay for the construction cost (or a significant fraction of it) of the factory in exchange for exclusive rights to the output production of the factory for a set period of time (maybe 6 - 36 months), and then for a discounted rate afterwards. This yields two advantages:
Apple has access to new component technology months or years before its rivals. This allows it to release groundbreaking products that are actually impossible to duplicate. Remember how for up to a year or so after the introduction of the iPhone, none of the would-be iPhone clones could even get a capacitive touchscreen to work as well as the iPhone's? It wasn't just the software - Apple simply has access to new components earlier, before anyone else in the world can gain access to it in mass quantities to make a consumer device. One extraordinary example of this is the aluminum machining technology used to make Apple's laptops - this remains a trade secret that Apple continues to have exclusive access to and allows them to make laptops with (for now) unsurpassed strength and lightness.
Eventually its competitors catch up in component production technology, but by then Apple has their arrangement in place whereby it can source those parts at a lower cost due to the discounted rate they have negotiated with the (now) most-experienced and skilled provider of those parts - who has probably also brought his production costs down too. This discount is also potentially subsidized by its competitors buying those same parts from that provider - the part is now commoditized so the factory is allowed to produce them for all buyers, but Apple gets special pricing.
Apple is not just crushing its rivals through superiority in design, Steve Jobs's deep experience in hardware mass production (early Apple, NeXT) has been brought to bear in creating an unrivaled exclusive supply chain of advanced technology literally years ahead of anyone else on the planet. If it feels like new Apple products appear futuristic, it is because Apple really is sending back technology from the future.
Once those technologies (or more accurately, their mass production techniques) become sufficiently commoditized, Apple is then able to compete effectively on cost and undercut rivals. It's a myth that Apple only makes premium products - it makes them all right, but that is because they are literally more advanced than anything else (i.e. the price premium is not just for design), and once the product line is no longer premium, they are produced more cheaply than competitor equivalents, yielding higher margins, more cash, which results in more ability to continue the cycle.
Steve Jobs, when he announced the original iPhone, said it was 5 years ahead of the competition. This has often been discussed in terms of software, but the above makes a compelling argument about its applicability to hardware as well (or perhaps even more so). webOS and Android can easily be seen as equal to iOS, if not better than iOS in certain areas. By contrast, few would contend that Palm/HP phones, or any Android device on the market (many of which creak like old Hasbro toys) are anywhere near the build quality of the one year old iPhone 4.
It's not even clear to me if the competition would make Apple-style investments in design, production, and components even if they could. It's a risky gamble and many seem far more content to play the low margin game, hoping to make it in the volume that sometimes comes with it.
Philip Elmer-Dewitt of Fortune, crediting Asymco's Horace Dediu says:
Apple has become not a monopoly (a single seller), but a monopsony -- the one buyer that can control an entire market.
If so, it's not only by virtue of Apple being bold enough to step forward, but by everyone else hesitating or stepping back.

How Apple stays years ahead of the competition
rene you really do love everything apple even though you will deny...every article you write is how apple is the greatest lol. i know tipb is a apple site but i wish not everything was apple biased and post maybe some negative things about apple too....not everything is rosy as you make it sound in all your articles.
HP can do what you're claim Apple does. They've been doing essentially this on the developer side since shortly after they purchased Palm. Combine that with their own hardware research and manufacturing deals and they have the potential to blow Apple away.
I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing HP webOS devices with memristor memory in place of flash memory after 2013.
While I don't disagree with this article, one thing that Apple certainly is great at is making an old technology sound new. Think copy and paste. Voice command. Multitasking. Higher res camera. HD video. Every one of these features came out on another device first, but Apple refines its feature set, and makes it sound like the greatest new thing.
Are you just talking about DPI? Lulz you can't even tell the difference. Or perhaps since it hasn't been blessed by the almighty Jobs, you can't admit that the colors, contrast, and battery life is better.
i know it came out much later, but my EVO 3D makes everyone i know who has an Iphone 4 (quite a few people) want to ditch it after a 1 minute demo. so the claim that Apple is YEARS ahead (as in plural) is a tough statement to back up due to the fact that a device that is only one year newer is (in my eyes) quite better... im no apple hating troll just to clear that up. i'v had ipod touch gens 1,2 and 3 so i know IOS. and im not a super android fanboy; i had a palm pre for 2 years. (there is still much to b desired of android after using webos)... so all in all Apple is no longer YEARS ahead of the competition is pretty much what i am saying
They are not years ahead. Android is mopping up BlackBerry and iPhone users with 200K activations/day. Also, Apple just uses brand awareness to deliver last-year specs (512 MB RAM in ipad 2.....my eee pad has 1GB) in their products and sell them to people who want simplicity over computing power and features. Then they steal android's notification system and call it innovative and magical, after it's been here for three years.
It's not that i hate apple, i used to have an itouch. I just think they're ripping people off. Some people will buy anything in the name of Steve.
However, i can't entirely disagree, though. Apple does make things look pretty good with an awesome build quality and simple-as-hell OS.
Pretty bold statement, which I think is outdated. Apple used to be able to outperform the competition, but they no longer are in the lead, neither for hardware nor for the OS story. I reckon they are over the top now in the smartphone market, but they still have the edge in the tablet market, which IMO is not an advantage : they will take growth for granted due to the fact that many of us will prefer to have iOS devices to sync (cfr. upcoming iOS5). That alone will cost them NEW customers that will be attracted by newer bells and whistles.
Back when I was using a Droid 2 w/Froyo, I had the ability in certain apps to choose push or pull. You are both wrong. Many times, I find my iPhone getting alerts sooner (for email at least) than my Pre 2.
This is probably because one is getting my gmail updates through Exchange and the other isn't (because it has more support for gmail through synergy). People don't realize that their personal observations of their phones aren't good, solid info for use in arguments. Everyone uses rhetoric like "Steve holding your little hand" because they think it makes their argument or tidbit of info sound more legit. If Steve Jobs gave a crap about what we did with our phones, Apple would find a way to close down jailbreaking.
In that case, I would definitely give up the iPhone (unless it just so happened to become more flexible then it currently is, in a native way like Android or webOS). I don't, however, care for the current state of Android as far as fugly and unstable apps are concerned (not to mention the system is poorly designed, graphically), or webOS lack of a decent selection of up-and-coming devs/app-making-businesses. This whole second paragraph of my comment, obviously, is my opinion and not a stance for arguing about people being right or wrong about their phones. Pick what you want, buy it and live with it.
Wait, Apple is ahead to it's competitors? Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure they came up with the idea about the notifications. -_-
I use my iPhone 4 without a case I drop it like once a week usually average height (where I hold my phone when i use it, so like between shoulder and waste height), and it's totally fine. No big ugly scratches. Yeah I know I'm really cluttered >.< but still iPhone 4 lasting fine and dandy for me (: Looking as good as new xD
Their multi-tasking support is awful. Not only are the options for background processing limited, but the amount of manual work required for even "basic multitasking" (i.e. suspend) is incredible. Application state needs to be manually saved, memory needs to be manually released, sockets need to be manually torn down.
But hey, Apple says this is multi-tasking "done right" and I'm sure they know what they're talking about.

I saw it a few years ago. Someone superdetailed a model of a German type XXI http://www.combatreform2.com/typeXXIuboatinterior.jpg. The sub was in drydock --- also hyperdetailed!
The article mentioned lots of painting tips on things like weathering, the "beard" and such. And a technique that entailed airbrushing over soapy water.
Does anyone remember that article? Where can I get a copy?

Auburn Hills � There�s nothing so hopelessly broken here that it can�t be fixed.
The question now for the Pistons, though, is who�s going to fix it?
Joe won�t go. Not yet, anyway. But someone has to decide who stays and who doesn�t at The Palace. And since it wasn�t team president Joe Dumars� decision to fire Maurice Cheeks as head coach, then it�s fair to ask who�s calling the shots from here on out as the Pistons � who throttled the San Antonio Spurs, 109-100, in John Loyer�s interim debut Monday night � try to salvage what�s left of this season and beyond.
It�s Dumars that�s making and taking the calls with the Feb. 20 trade deadline looming. That�s one reason why he wasn�t let go along with Cheeks this weekend, as owner Tom Gores� playoff mandate claimed its first victim. But is it Dumars� call what direction they go next?
Gores was in town for a visit a week ago, and though he debriefed the players individually, he never spoke with Cheeks, which spoke volumes in hindsight. Why it took until Sunday to pull the trigger � after back-to-back wins the previous two nights, no less � remains a bit of a mystery, though Dumars� lobbying for more time might�ve had something to do with it.
Neither Gores nor Dumars spoke publicly Monday. And it was one of Gores� lieutenants, Platinum Equity partner Phil Norment, who addressed the team Monday morning, according to veteran guard Chauncey Billups.
�Their message was they want to give us the best opportunity to be successful,� Billups said.
But defining success from this point forward is the biggest issue, really.
The Pistons entered Monday�s play a half-game out of the playoffs in one direction and four games out of a lottery pick they can actually keep in the other direction. That put them squarely in limbo, which is an uncomfortable position for any NBA team, but particularly this one.
If the hope is simply to find a spark with Loyer, that�s one thing. But if the goal is playoffs or bust � �With the talent we have now, there�s no reason we shouldn�t be in the playoff talk,� point guard Brandon Jennings agreed Monday � then they�ll be under pressure to make a move in the next 10 days.
The alternative is to stand pat and hope for the best. Or hope for the worst, some would argue, since their first-round selection in this year�s well-stocked draft is only protected if it�s among the top eight picks. (Otherwise, it�ll belong to Charlotte as part of that doubly-depressing Ben Gordon trade two summers ago.)
Forward seems to be way
Problem is, if this team was too talented to be 21-29 after 50 games � Gores was right about that, at least � it�s probably too talented to completely tank and save that pick. See, even losing requires an organizational plan in this league, and too many other teams appear to have the Pistons beaten there.
So instead they�ll press forward, trying to catch Charlotte � they�re now tied for eighth with the Bobcats � and Brooklyn while holding off the New York Knicks, among others.
Frankly, I�d be mildly surprised if the Pistons don�t find their way to the postseason. This is a young team that�s still learning the hard way, but they�re above .500 the last month and finally starting to stagger the Big 3�s minutes in a way that makes more sense. The fourth-quarter woes aren�t going to disappear � Monday certainly had its moments as the Spurs cut a 20-point deficit to single digits � but Loyer figures to be more proactive than Cheeks, at the very least.
Now, will management follow suit? The next week could be telling in that regard � buy or sell? � with Wednesday�s game against Cleveland at The Palace followed by a home-and-home with Charlotte after the All-Star break.
Is a deal coming?
The Pistons will continue to listen to offers for Greg Monroe, or at least offers of offers for Monroe, who�ll be a restricted free agent this summer. But it doesn�t sound as if they�re actively shopping him, and they�ve made it clear to other teams they�re not trading him for expiring contracts or picks.
Then again, there�s a decent chance Monroe�s agent, David Falk, will find another team willing to force their hand with an offer sheet for a max-level contract in July. So what if there�s a blockbuster deal to be made that could bring back, say, Arron Afflalo from Orlando?
A long shot, I realize, but who�s making that call, and at what cost? And who�s deciding what to do with those expiring contracts � Rodney Stuckey, Jonas Jerebko, Charlie Villanueva? Whose agenda is it now, as the Pistons try to end this season on a different note, for a change.
�There�s a chance,� Billups said, �for us to write a pretty good story here.�
Maybe so, but who�s writing it?

"People probably think, 'What difference can I make?' Listen, I'm one person. I've been in that congressional office and I've gotten a Member of Congress to co-sponsor after my meeting. If you get to one person, you make a difference." — Nicole Cooper
August is one time during the year when Congress recesses for several weeks and Members of Congress travel back to their home states to meet with voters about the issues that matter to them. This year, PH community members jumped at this opportunity to educate their elected officials about pulmonary hypertension and the Tom Lantos Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Education Act.
One advocate, Yunena Morales, found a creative way to make a lasting impression during her meeting. She brought four support group members to meet Representative Adam Smith (D-WA) in his local office. "He asked a lot of questions, so I gave him a lot of information and an oxygen cannula. When I handed it to him he said, 'I know what this is because I wore one in the hospital.' Then he said that he didn't need it. I told him to take and put it in his jacket pocket so that it would remind him to support the cause whenever he went to the House. He laughed — we all did!"
Whether on your own or with others, meeting with your elected officials to share your stories and explain our community's needs makes a huge difference in the push to get more backers for the only PH-specific bill in Congress. You can bring along something to illustrate life with PH, as Yunena did, offer PHA literature, or find other ways to help Members of Congress remember and stand up for PH.
Share your story with your Members of Congress and urge them to co-sponsor the PH Research and Education Act. Scheduling and preparing for your visit has never been easier. PHA has several resources to help you:

- Bluetooth Overview
- Full Article
Over the last several years, our electronic devices have become increasingly adept at communicating with one another. And in the world of consumer electronics, few recent innovations have had as great an impact--on our daily lives, and on the technology of communication--as Bluetooth.
Bluetooth provides an efficient and practical means of linking devices without the need for wires or an active internet connection. By sending out signals through a process called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), Bluetooth seamlessly establishes connections between up to 8 devices in one network. While Bluetooth was deliberately designed to work within a relatively small 32-foot radius, the signal nonetheless carries through walls and other dividers with ease, making it ideal for connecting all of the devices in your home.
Bluetooth technology is now found in a wide range of consumer electronics, including personal computers, televisions, and cell phones, all of which can easily integrate with dedicated Bluetooth devices like headsets, speakers, and car adapters. This integration translates to easier and more efficient sharing of information, as well as enhanced mobility for those always on the go. Better yet, Bluetooth requires very little energy and functions automatically, so communication between devices is seamless, fast, and doesn't drain battery life. If you aren't using Bluetooth already, try it today, and open up a whole new conversation between the technologies in your life.
Over the last several years, our electronic devices have become increasingly adept at communicating with one another. And in the world of consumer electronics, few recent innovations have had as great an impact--on our daily lives, and on the technology of communication--as Bluetooth. Most are familiar with Bluetooth technology in some sense--even if you don't use it yourself, you've probably seen it in action in the form of a hands-free headset, or maybe heard it through a car stereo. But odds are you've also been around the technology in other applications without ever having been aware of it.
The name Bluetooth can actually tell us a great deal about the concept behind the technology, and about what the designers originally set out to accomplish. Harold Bluetooth, one of history's great uniters, was a 10th century Norwegian king known for bringing together a number of dissonant tribes under a single, cooperative kingdom. Similarly, Bluetooth technology was designed to unite the channels of communication between devices, to enhance compatibility and simplify connections between the many tasks that have come to make up modern life.
There are, of course, a number of other ways that devices can communicate with one another: various cables, WiFi, and Infrared signals provide the means of connection for many consumer electronics, each with its own preferred applications and advantages. But Bluetooth provided a unique solution to many of their limitations, and has proven ideally suited for use with cell phones and related technologies.
How does Bluetooth work?
Bluetooth functions through a process called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). FHSS allows devices to send out a series of low-power radio waves over a rapidly changing set of frequencies. Because the frequency changes so quickly (roughly 1,600 times a second), and because signals are kept relatively short (at around a 32-ft radius), the chance of interference is extremely small.
These safeguards allow Bluetooth devices to communicate near-constantly and automatically--meaning that without any work on your part, a Bluetooth can quickly and efficiently begin a 'conversation' with any other enabled devices in its signal range, and quickly discern whether or not those devices have something to share.
Practical Applications:
Bluetooth technology has a wide range of applications, but the most common consumer uses are:
- Wireless connections between cell phones and hands-free headsets
- Exchanges of files, contacts, and time-sensitive reminders between devices
- Wireless connections between cell phones and compatible car stereo systems
- Wireless communications between personal computers and related hardware (mouses, keyboards, printers etc.)
- Transfers between personal computers in a confined spaces
It's important to note that these applications aren't necessarily separate. Bluetooth allows simultaneous connection between up to 8 devices, in what's generally referred to as a "piconet" (a small, functional network formed between devices). But what does this mean in a practical sense?
In the well-equipped, modern home, one might find half a dozen Bluetooth-equipped devices within a single room. A laptop, a television, a Blu-Ray player, a cordless phone, a receiver--all are likely to use Bluetooth, and all are capable of conversing. Once an initial network is created--between the cordless phone and its handset, let's say--a series of conversations will begin between all of the devices within range. Almost immediately, you have the capability to link virtually every device in your home, synchronizing files, reminders, preferences--all the things that make your devices your own.
Bluetooth vs. WiFi:
The most important distinctions between Bluetooth and WiFi have to do with power. Unlike WiFi, Bluetooth is designed to work on an extremely small amount of energy, making it much better suited for cell phones and other small devices, where extended battery life is paramount. Of course, WiFi's greater power requirements translate to faster and larger transfers of information, but Bluetooth nonetheless operates smoothly and quickly in all of its conventional applications.
Why Bluetooth?
The absence of wires is only the beginning. For those of us permanently attached to our cell phones, Bluetooth headsets, speakerphones, and car adapters provide an easy and simple way of increasing the comfort and ease of our daily interactions. With even greater integration--between personal computers, phones, televisions, and the like--the need to repeat our interactions with devices is eliminated, and a variety of complicated tasks become infinitely simpler. The advantages extend into the realm of entertainment, where Bluetooth provides an easy way to manage our favorite audio and video content, keep track of programming, and share what we love.
