Isiah Lord Thomas III (/aɪˈzeɪ.ə/; born April 30, 1961) is a retired American basketball player who played professionally for the Detroit Pistons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 12-time NBA All-Star was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Thomas has also been a professional and collegiate head coach, a basketball executive, and a broadcaster.
Thomas played collegiately for the Indiana Hoosiers. He went on to play professionally as point guard for the Pistons from 1981 until 1994 and led the "Bad Boys" to NBA championships in the 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons. After his playing career, he was an executive with the Toronto Raptors, a television commentator, an executive with the Continental Basketball Association, head coach of the Indiana Pacers, and an executive and head coach for the New York Knicks. He was later the men's basketball coach for the Florida International University (FIU) Golden Panthers for three seasons from 2009 to 2012.
Early life[edit]
Thomas was born on April 30, 1961, in Chicago, Illinois. He was the youngest of nine brothers and sisters. Thomas commuted from Chicago's West Side North Lawndale neighborhood to play high school basketball at St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois for Gene Pingatore.[1] He would wake up at 5:00 am and commute 90 minutes to attend the private school.[1] During his junior year, he led St. Joseph to the State Finals and was considered one of the top college prospects in the country.[2]
College career[edit]
Thomas was recruited to play college basketball for Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers. Although he received mail saying Knight tied up his players and beat them, he did not believe the rumors.[2] When Knight visited the Thomas home, one of Isiah's brothers, who wanted him to attend DePaul, embarrassed him by insulting the Indiana coach and engaging him in a shouting match. Nevertheless, Thomas chose Knight and Indiana because he felt that getting away to Bloomington would be good for him, as would be Knight's discipline.[2]
Thomas quickly had to adjust to Knight's disciplinarian style. At the 1979 Pan American Games in Puerto Rico Knight got so mad at Thomas he threatened to put him on a plane home. Knight recalled yelling at the freshman-to-be, "You ought to go to DePaul, Isiah, because you sure as hell aren't going to be an Indiana player playing like that."[2] Prior to the start of his freshman year, the 1979-80 season, Knight became so upset with Thomas that he kicked him out of a practice. According to Thomas, Knight was making a point that no player, no "matter how talented, is bigger than Knight's philosophy."[2]
However, Thomas quickly proved his skills as a player and became a favorite with both Knight and Indiana fans. His superior abilities eventually would cause Knight to adjust his coaching style.[2] Fans would display bed sheets with quotations from the Book of Isaiah ("And a little child shall lead them") and nicknamed him "Mr. Wonderful."[2] Because of Thomas' relatively short stature at 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), Coach Knight would call Thomas "Pee Wee".[2] Thomas and Mike Woodson led the Hoosiers to the Big Ten championship and advanced to the 1980 Sweet Sixteen.
The following year, the 1980-81 season, Knight made Thomas the captain and told him to run the show on the floor.[2] Thomas responded so positively that, as the season unfolded, Knight and Thomas grew as friends. When a Purdue player took a cheap shot at Isiah in a game at Bloomington, Knight called a press conference to defend his star. And 19 days later, when Thomas hit an Iowa player and was ejected from a game, Knight refused to criticize Thomas.[2]
That year Thomas and the Hoosiers once again won a conference title and won the 1981 NCAA tournament, the school's fourth national title. He earned the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award. Following his sophomore season and the Hoosiers' national championship, Thomas made himself eligible for the NBA Draft.
NBA playing career[edit]
In the 1981 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons chose Thomas with the No. 2 pick and signed him to a four-year $1.6 million contract. Thomas made the All-Rookie team and started for the Eastern Conference in the 1982 All-Star Game.
In the opening round of the 1984 NBA Playoffs, Thomas and the Pistons faced off against Bernard King and the New York Knicks. In the pivotal fifth game, Thomas was having a subpar performance, while Bernard King was having an excellent game. However, Thomas scored 16 points in the last 94 seconds to force the game into overtime. The Knicks, however, held on to win in overtime.
In the 1985 NBA Playoffs, Thomas and his team went to the conference semi-finals against the 15-time NBA champion Boston Celtics led by Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, and Dennis Johnson. Detroit couldn't shake the Celtics in their six-game series, eventually losing.
In the 1987 NBA Playoffs, Thomas and the Pistons went to the Eastern Conference Finals and faced the Boston Celtics. It was the furthest the team had advanced since moving from Fort Wayne when they were the Zollner-Pistons. The Pistons were able to tie the Celtics at two games apiece. Detroit's hope of winning Game 5 was dashed at the Boston Garden with seconds remaining in a play by Larry Bird: Thomas attempted to quickly inbound the ball, Bird stole the inbound pass and passed it to Dennis Johnson for the game-winning layup.
In 1988, the Pistons' first trip to the Finals saw them face the Los Angeles Lakers, who were led by Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Before the series, Thomas and Johnson would exchange a courtside kiss on the cheek prior to tip-off as a sign of their deep friendship.[3][4] After taking a 3–2 series lead back to Los Angeles, Detroit appeared poised to win their first NBA title in Game 6.
One of Thomas' most inspiring and self-defining moments came in Game 6. Although he had severely sprained his ankle late in the game, Thomas continued to play. While hobbling and in obvious pain, Thomas scored 25 points in a single quarter of the game, an NBA Finals record. However, the Lakers won the game 103–102 on a pair of last-minute free throws by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar following a controversial foul called on Bill Laimbeer. With Thomas unable to compete at full strength the Lakers were able to take advantage and clinched their second consecutive title in Game 7, 108–105.
In the 1988–89 season, Thomas, along with teammates Joe Dumars, Rick Mahorn, Vinnie Johnson, Dennis Rodman, James Edwards, John Salley, Bill Laimbeer, and Mark Aguirre, guided his team to a 63–19 win–loss record. Detroit played a brash and dominating brand of basketball through the playoffs that led to their nickname "Bad Boys". First they defeated Boston who had been suffering persistent injuries. The Pistons then defeated Michael Jordan and the up-and-coming Chicago Bulls in the Conference Finals to set up an NBA Finals rematch with the Lakers. Thomas and the Pistons then won their first of back-to-back championships when they defeated the Lakers in a 4-game sweep. The following year, Thomas was voted NBA Finals Most Valuable Player of the 1990 NBA Finals after averaging 27.6 points per game, 7.0 assists per game, and 5.2 rebounds per game in the series with Clyde Drexler's Portland Trail Blazers. The Pistons continued to play well between 1991 and 1993 but were not able to return to the NBA Finals as they were eclipsed by the growing Chicago Bulls dynasty. An aging and ailing Thomas decided to end his career at the end of the 1994 season, but he tore his Achilles' tendon in April 1994, forcing him to end his career as a player a month earlier than planned.
Thomas was named to the All-NBA First team three times and is the Pistons' all-time leader in points, steals, games played and assists. He ranks fifth in NBA history in assists (9,061, 9.3 apg) and ranks ninth in NBA history in steals (1,861). Thomas was known for his dribbling ability as well as his ability to drive to the basket and score. His No. 11 was retired by the Detroit Pistons.
International career[edit]
Thomas was selected to the 1980 Olympic team, but like all American athletes he was not able to play in Moscow due to the Olympics boycott. The boycotting countries instead participated in the gold medal series, a series of games against NBA teams, a French team and the 1976 Olympic gold medal team in various U.S. cities, recording a 5–1 record (losing to the Seattle SuperSonics). Thomas shot 22–55 from the field and 14–17 from the line. He led the U.S. in assists with 37 (the next highest total on the team was 17) and averaged 9.7 points per game.[5]
Despite his talent, Thomas was left off the original Olympic Dream Team, possibly as a result of an alleged feud with Michael Jordan.[6] In the book When the Game Was Ours, Magic Johnson relates that he, Jordan and other players conspired to keep Thomas off the Dream Team.[3][7]
After Tim Hardaway left the team due to injury, Thomas was named to Dream Team II for the 1994 World Championship of Basketball, but did not play due to his Achilles tendon injury that caused his retirement.[6] He was replaced by Kevin Johnson.
Post-playing career[edit]
Isiah Thomas is the founding Chairman and CEO of Isiah International LLC, a holding company with a diverse portfolio of business ventures and investments. Gre3n Waste Removal, Re3 Recycling, and Eleven Capital Group are three of the primary business in the Isiah International family of companies. The mission of Isiah International is to become a business incubator for the minority community.[8]
In addition to these business ventures, Thomas is involved in real estate projects in Chicago and the surrounding region as the owner of Isiah Real Estate.[9] Thomas said he is putting money in distressed areas and reinvesting, "I'm hoping I can be a catalyst for change in those areas, to get the population back into those communities and be a catalyst to make a difference."[10] Thomas is also involved in a $300 million development deal for a mixed-use complex at the Illinois Medical District Commission. Isiah Real Estate partnered with Higgins Development Partners, Thomas Samuels Enterprises, and East Lake Management & Development to develop a 9.5 acres of land that would include retail space, a hotel, apartments and parking areas.[9]
Thomas' business career began during his career with the Pistons. Planning for life after the NBA, Thomas invested in a host of ventures through his private investment company out of Michigan, Isiah Investments, LLC. His primary investment was a large chain of printing franchises, American Speedy Printing Centers Inc. Thomas took a very hands-on approach at American Speedy. He helped lead the company out of bankruptcy to become profitable and one of the largest printing franchises in the world.[11]
He was also one of the founding members of the advisory board for Marquis Jet Partners and a partner of Dale and Thomas Popcorn.[12]
Isiah Thomas was elected to be the first African American[13] to sit on the Board of Governors of the Chicago Stock Exchange in April 1999 and served until 2002.[14]
Thomas often speaks to students and professionals around the country about his business experiences.[15] [16]
Toronto Raptors[edit]
After retiring, Thomas became part owner and Executive Vice President for the expansion Toronto Raptors in 1994. In 1998, he left the organization after a dispute with new management over the franchise's direction and his future responsibilities.[17] During his four-year tenure with the team, the Raptors drafted Damon Stoudamire, Marcus Camby, and high schooler Tracy McGrady.
After leaving the Raptors, Thomas became a television commentator (first as the lead game analyst with play-by-play man Bob Costas and then as part of the studio team) for the NBA on NBC. Thomas also worked a three-man booth with Costas and Doug Collins.
CBA Innovator[edit]
Thomas became the owner of the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) from 1998 to 2000. An innovator and entrepreneur, Thomas founded Enlighten Sports Inc, a full-service web development group specializing in sports marketing in 1999.[18]
When at the Continental Basketball Association, Thomas launched partnerships with Enlighten Sports and the University of Colorado and the CBA. The new websites allowed fans to watch live game webcasts, use live shot charts, chat with players and more. Thomas said the internet was "and integral part of [the CBA's] strategy to provide engaging and entertaining content for fans." [19] Also, while Thomas was with the Continental Basketball Association he launched a partnership with SEASONTICKET.com to bring personalized video highlights and scores to fans across the country as well as be a portal for All-Star League voting. With Thomas' foresight, he realized that streaming video would be the future of news and entertainment.[20]
In 1998, Thomas founded Isiah.com, a company serving consumers, retailers, and corporations with online gift certificates and other i-commerce products. Isiah.com's first venture was i-gift, a one-stop, online shopping service center for gift certificates. i-gift was praised for being unique because it could drive e-commerce while supporting and expanding brick-and-mortar merchants. He brought the next generation of gift certificates to The Somerset Collection in Michigan, which houses exclusive department stores and retailers. Isiah.com's mission was to "harness internet technologies and leverage business transformation processes to create new business ventures that both produce profits and benefit under-served sectors of the community."[21] Isiah.com also had a partnership with the NBA store.[22]
Thomas purchased the CBA for $10 million, and in 2001 the league was forced into bankruptcy and folded, shortly after NBA Commissioner David Stern decided to create his own development league, the NBDL, to replace the CBA.[23]
Indiana Pacers[edit]
From 2000 to 2003, Thomas coached the Indiana Pacers, succeeding Larry Bird, who previously coached the Pacers to the Eastern Conference title. Thomas attempted to bring up young talents such as Jermaine O'Neal, Jamaal Tinsley, Al Harrington, and Jeff Foster. However, under Thomas the Pacers were not able to stay at the elite level as they went through the transition from a veteran-dominated, playoff-experienced team to a younger, less experienced team. In Thomas's first two seasons with the Pacers, the team was eliminated in the first round by the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Nets, both of whom eventually made the NBA Finals.
In his last year with the Pacers, Thomas guided the Pacers to a 48–34 record in the regular season and coached the Eastern Conference team at the 2003 NBA All-Star Game. As the third seed, the Pacers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the sixth-seeded Boston Celtics. With blossoming talents such as Jermaine O'Neal, Brad Miller, Ron Artest, Al Harrington and Jamaal Tinsley, along with the veteran leadership of Reggie Miller, the perception existed that the Pacers' unfulfilled potential stemmed from Thomas' inexperience as a coach. In the offseason, Larry Bird returned to the Pacers as President of Basketball Operations, and his first act was to replace Thomas with Rick Carlisle.
Hall of Fame[edit]
In 2000, Thomas was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.[24]
New York Knicks[edit]
On December 22, 2003, the New York Knicks hired Thomas as President of Basketball Operations.[25] Thomas was ultimately unsuccessful with the Knicks roster and fanbase. At the end of the 2005–06 season, the Knicks had the highest payroll in the league and the second-worst record. He traded away several future draft picks to Chicago in a deal for Eddy Curry including what turned out to be two lottery picks in talent-rich drafts.
On June 22, 2006, the Knicks fired coach Larry Brown, and owner James Dolan replaced him with Thomas under the condition that he show "evident progress" or be fired.
During the following season the Knicks became embroiled in a brawl with the Denver Nuggets, which Thomas allegedly instigated by ordering his players to commit a hard foul in the paint.[26] However, he was not fined or suspended. NBA Commissioner David Stern said that he only relied on "definitive information" when handing out punishments.[27] Later in the season, nine months after James Dolan demanded "evident progress", the Knicks re-signed Thomas to an undisclosed "multi-year" contract.[28] After Thomas was granted the extension, the Knicks abruptly fell from playoff contention with a dismal finish to the season.
During the 2007 Draft, Thomas made another trade by acquiring Zach Randolph, Fred Jones, and Dan Dickau from the Portland Trail Blazers for Steve Francis and Channing Frye.
Thomas also compounded the Knicks' salary cap problems by signing fringe players such as Jerome James and Jared Jeffries to full mid-level exception contracts. Neither player saw any significant playing time and both were often injured and highly ineffective when able to play.
Despite the constant criticism that he received from Knicks fans, Thomas maintained that he had no intention of leaving until he turned the team around and he predicted that he would lead the Knicks to a championship, stating that his goal was to leave behind a "championship legacy" with the Knicks, just as he had done for the Detroit Pistons. This prediction was met with widespread skepticism.[29]
On April 2, 2008, Donnie Walsh was introduced to replace Thomas as President of Basketball Operations for the Knicks. Walsh would not comment definitively on whether or not Thomas would be retained in any capacity at the time of his hiring.
One night after the Knicks tied a franchise record of 59 losses and ended their season, news broke that in talks with Walsh the week before, Thomas had been told he would not return as Knicks head coach the following season. He was officially "reassigned" on April 18 "after a season of listless and dreadful basketball, a tawdry lawsuit and unending chants from fans demanding his dismissal."[30] Thomas posted an overall winning percentage of .341 as head coach of the Knicks, fifth lowest in team history. As part of the reassignment agreement, Thomas was to serve as a consultant to the team, reporting directly to Walsh. However, he was banned from having contact with any Knicks' players under the rationale that he could willingly or unwillingly undermine the new head coach.[31]
On April 14, 2009, Thomas accepted an offer to become the head basketball coach of FIU, replacing Sergio Rouco after five losing seasons.[32] Thomas announced that he would donate his first year's salary back to the school.[32] Thomas was quoted as saying, "I did not come here for the money."[32]
After posting a 7–25 record in his first season at FIU, on August 6, 2010, Thomas announced that he was taking a job as consultant to the New York Knicks, while keeping his position as head coach at FIU.[33] According to the New York Daily News, "nearly every major media outlet panned the announcement of Thomas' hire," and it led to a "public outcry" among fans.[34] In a reversal on August 11, Thomas announced that he would not be working with the Knicks because holding both jobs violated NBA by-laws.[34]
Thomas finished his second season at FIU with an 11–19 record (5–11 in conference games). On April 6, 2012, Thomas was fired at FIU, after he went 26–65 in three seasons. Under Thomas, FIU never won more than 11 games in a season.[35]
Back to broadcasting[edit]
On December 19, 2012, NBA TV announced that Thomas would begin work on December 21, 2012 as a member of the studio analyst panel.[36] It was also announced that Thomas would become a regular contributor for NBA.com.[37]
Thomas finished his college degree at Indiana University during the Pistons' off seasons and received his Master's in Education from the University of California at Berkeley in 2013.[38][39] At UC Berkeley, Thomas studied the connection between education and sports, specifically how American society makes education accessible (or inaccessible) to black male college athletes.[40]
Philanthropic work[edit]
During his playing career, Thomas paid college tuition for more than 75 youngsters.[41] When he was a Piston, in 1987 Thomas organized the "No Crime Day" in Detroit. He even had the help of Detroit Mayor Coleman Young to call for a moratorium on crime in the summer of 1986.[42]
Thomas founded Mary's Court, a foundation that supports economically disadvantaged parents and children in the communities of Garfield Park and Lawndale on the West Side of Chicago. The charity is named for Thomas's mother, who he credits with instilling in him the importance of hard work and giving back to the community. Mary's Court has teamed up with another Chicago-based charity, Kids off the Block, to serve meals to Chicago children and families during Thanksgiving.[43]
While at FIU, Thomas and Mary's Court donated $50,000 to FIU's First Generation Scholarship and organized a sell-out charity game during the NBA lockout featuring NBA stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, with proceeds benefiting Mary's Court.[44] A street on Chicago's West Side was named in honor of his mother.[45]
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boys & Girls Club of Chicago recognized Thomas's philanthropic work in March 2012 and honored him with the organization's King Legacy Award at their 24th Annual King Legacy Awards Gala. The award is given annually to individuals who have fostered the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through their community contributions.[46]
In July 2012, Thomas joined The Black Men's Roundtable in Florida along with other national and local black leaders to discuss issues that directly affect black males.[47]
The Peace League is an annual community basketball league that brings together young men and women from surrounding communities within the Chicago area and provides a safe haven growth and development; it was established by Thomas and Father Pfleger in 2011. [48] In September 2012, Thomas co-hosted the Ballin' for Peace Tournament at St. Sabina Church in Chicago, IL. He joined with Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Quentin Richardson, Zach Randolph, the Chicago Bears' J'Marcus Webb, pastor Father Michael Pfleger, and others to produce this event, in order to reduce gang violence through communication and basketball. Thomas also stressed the value of education for those in poverty.[49][50]
The Peace League initiative has expanded into a program which now offers GED classes, employment training, and internship opportunities. The surrounding Auburn-Gresham neighborhood has seen a drastic drop in violence since the league began. [51]
Most recently, the Peace League Tournament was expanded to New York City during the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend. The New York City Peace Game featured over 50 players from across all five Boroughs that competed in a tournament as well as a brief speaking program with some special guests, supporters and participating organizations at the Harlem PAL that included Harry Belafonte of Sankofa.org, Help USA, Cure Violence, and Connor Sports. [52] [53]
In March 2013, Children Uniting Nations, an organization that focuses on advocacy/awareness and provides academic and community-based programs for at-risk and foster youth, presented Thomas and Mary's Court with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his passion and commitment to improving the lives of children.[54]
In partnership with the Marillac Social Center, Thomas and Mary's Court hosted its Third Annual Holiday Toy Giveaway. [55] Each year Mary's Court provides gifts, clothing and educational items to hundreds of children in Chicago at this signature event. [56]
Michael Jordan rivalry[edit]
In the 1985 NBA All-Star Game, Thomas was joined on the Eastern Conference squad by star rookie Michael Jordan. Jordan wound up attempting nine shots, relatively few for a starting player. Afterward, Thomas and his fellow veteran East players were accused of having planned to "freeze out" Jordan from their offense by not passing him the ball, supposedly out of spite over the attention Jordan was receiving. No player involved has ever confirmed that the freeze-out occurred, but the story has long been reported and has never been refuted by Jordan.[57] Thomas has ridiculed the idea of his being the mastermind behind a supposed freeze-out as "ludicrous", pointing out that he was a relatively young player on a team that included Larry Bird, Julius Erving and Moses Malone.[58] During Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame induction, in which Thomas introduced John Stockton, who was also being inducted, Jordan dismissed the claims about a freeze-out having taken place, saying "I was just happy to be there, being the young guy surrounded by all these greats, I just wanted to prove myself and I hope that I did prove myself to you guys."
In 1987, Thomas was asked if he agreed with Dennis Rodman's comments on Larry Bird, and reinforced that if Bird were black he "would be just another good guy" instead of being portrayed as the league's best player. Thomas later said he was joking and just supporting his teammate.[59]
In the Eastern Conference Finals of the 1991 NBA Playoffs, the two-time defending champion Detroit Pistons faced the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. The Pistons had defeated the Bulls in each of the first three meetings, but this time they suffered a four-game sweep at the hands of the Bulls (who would win the first of three consecutive, and six overall, NBA championships between 1991 and 1998). The series was marked by a number of verbal, physical, and match-up problems. With 7.9 seconds remaining in the fourth game, Thomas and all of his teammates—except Joe Dumars and John Salley—walked off the court, refusing to shake hands with the members of the Bulls.[60][61] In 1992, Thomas was passed over for the Dream Team apparently because of his strained relationship with Jordan.[62]
In September 2009, during Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame acceptance speech, Jordan thanked Thomas and others for giving him the motivation he needed to compete in the NBA.
In January 2006, a female former team executive filed a harassment and employment lawsuit againstJames Dolan and the team's then-parent company Cablevision.[63]
Drug overdose[edit]
On October 24, 2008, Thomas was taken to White Plains Hospital Center near his New York City area home after taking an overdose of Lunesta, a form of sleep medication.[64] According to Harrison, New York police, they were called to Thomas's house, where, finding him unconscious but breathing, they had him transported to the hospital. Police Chief David Hall stated that they "are calling this an accidental overdose of a prescription sleeping pill." He was released from the hospital later that day.[65]
In the opinion of Harrison Police Chief David Hall, Thomas tried to "cover up" the incident by claiming his 17-year old daughter required medical treatment when in actuality he was the patient. Referring to Thomas' 17-year-old daughter, Hall said, "And why they're throwing her under the bus is beyond my ability to understand."[66]
According to Thomas in an interview with ESPN, his daughter had been taken to the hospital earlier in the day, and he was also admitted to the hospital after he accidentally overdosed on sleeping pills. Thomas also denied that it was a suicide attempt, and explained that he was so quiet about his hospitalization because he was focused on his daughter and family at the time.[67]

Zara Zeroes In On Print-Mixing, Color Combos, and Luxe Leather For March
We had to take a break from the Fall runways to sneak a peek at Zara's pretty March arrivals. It goes without saying that the brand's a favorite for its oh-so-accessible take on the trends. Case in point: the printed blazers that we saw on the catwalks last September are resurfacing at the retailer in statement florals and eye-popping paisley (a perfect pick-me-up for your nine-to-five). Add to that a mix of playful pastel color pairings, delicately embellished collars, and a Spring-ready studded white leather jacket, and it's as if Zara tapped into our very own seasonal wish list — and delivered everything we could ask for. Read on for our key takeaways, then click through to start your shopping list.
- We love the tough-girl feel of this studded leather jacket, albeit in an accessible Spring hue. Throw this on with anything from a little printed dress to colorblocked separates for an effortless edginess.
- We're adding this fringed mini to our wish lists. An ideal antidote to the typical seasonal garb with that utterly cool Isabel Marant quality.
- A pair of floral shorts are a must have this season. We'll dress them up with heels and a slouchy knit for evenings or pare them down with a button-down and loafers for day.

Ammonia Pine
this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
Ammonia Pine is a minor villain in Darkwing Duck. She was voiced by Mitzi McCall.
She is a former cleaning lady who worked at a research lab. One day she accidentally inhaled the fumes of an experimental bathroom disinfectant. The fumes had a strange effect on her and turned her into a cleaning-obsessed villain. She was later recruited by F.O.W.L. for their dastardly plans. She hates, and is even afraid of, dirt. She has a sister named Ample Grime, also a F.O.W.L. agent.
Ammonia Pine appears as the primary villain in only one episode--"Dirty Money" (the 3rd episode in production order). Her other two appearances, "Cleanliness is Next to Badliness" and "Dirtysomething", feature her paired with Steelbeak and Ample Grime respectively. She also makes cameo appearances in "Ghoul of My Dreams", "In Like Blunt" and "Time and Punishment".
Ammonia Pine interestingly never appeared in any of the Darkwing Duck comics published when the show was originally airing. She finally appeared in the comics in the form of a brief cameo in "Crisis on Infinite Darkwings", the second arc of the Darkwing Duck comic by Boom! Studios. She also appears alongside fellow F.O.W.L. agents Hotshot and Flygirl in "F.O.W.L. Disposition".
Ammonia reappears in the DuckTales/Darkwing Duck crossover story "Dangerous Currency" where she is a member of the "League of Eve-il" along with Magica De Spell, Cinnamon Teal and Camille Chameleon. They are in an alliance with the Phantom Blot, the Fearsome Four, and the Beagle Boys. They are also later joined by Negaduck. However, the crossover has been retconned as non-canon in the comic's continuation by Joe Books, so Ammona's whereabouts following "F.O.W.L. Disposition" are officially unknown as of this writing.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)—Things weren't looking good again for the Los Angeles Angels when Tampa Bay opened the game with a home run. Soon, though, the Angels were flooding the basepaths with runners, and most of them scored.
Mike Napoli(notes) hit a grand slam, Hideki Matsui(notes) doubled in three runs and Howie Kendrick(notes) had a career-high five hits to help them win 12-3 on Wednesday and prevent the Rays from sweeping a series in Anaheim for the first time.
"We need to put up some runs for our pitchers. It just takes pressure off guys. They've been pitching well and keeping us in games," said Napoli, who drove in a career-high six RBI, giving him a career-best 60 RBI.
"Every time I was up there was a runner in scoring position. As a hitter, that's fun. Just try to drive the ball to gaps, put a good swing on a hittable pitch. I had a good day."
Tampa Bay began the day tied with the Yankees atop the AL East, but dropped to 78-49, second-best in the majors behind New York. The Yankees played at Toronto later.
"Once they got all those points, it takes the wind out of our sails," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Getting down like we did makes it much more difficult on your offense. Plus, it was 123 degrees out there."
Actually, the temperature was 91 degrees at the start, with fans seeking seats in the shade as the game dragged past the three-hour mark under a glaring sun.
"It was cookin' out there," Angels starter Dan Haren(notes) said. "On the mound, it was like a spotlight. It was really draining."
The Angels stopped a three-game slide overall and a four-game skid against the Rays at home. They got outscored 14-6 in losing the first two games of the series and came into the finale 2-for-25 with runners in scoring position.
John Jaso(notes) homered on the second pitch from Haren in the first inning, similar to Monday when B.J. Upton(notes) homered on the first pitch of the game in the Rays' 4-3 win.
This time, though, the Angels' bats answered.
Their offense put up four runs in the first, four in the third and three in the fourth. They loaded the bases in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings.
"It was a good offensive day and we need more of it," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "They need to come out and play with focus and intensity. It's a process. It's not going to be one game, one at-bat."
Haren (2-4) allowed one run and three hits in six innings, struck out eight and walked four to end a two-game skid. The Angels had scored just 15 runs—2.5 per game—in his first six starts since being traded by Arizona on July 25.
"The home run has killed me," he said. "That's the second time that's happened to me this year. I won that game, too. It made me focus a little bit."
Jeff Niemann(notes) (10-4) gave up eight hits and a career-high 10 runs in 3 1-3 innings, struck out two and walked three as the Rays staggered to their worst loss of the season.
Earlier Wednesday, the right-hander was reinstated from the 15-day DL, where he had been for the first time in his major league career with a strained right shoulder.
"I didn't do what I wanted to do with the ball, and they hit everything I left over the plate. The walks didn't help," he said. "Now we've got to go back to the drawing board and figure out what's going on. I've just got to work hard and see what we can do. But I was just really excited to get back out there."
In the first, Matsui doubled in the right-field corner with the bases loaded, giving the Angels a 3-1 lead and extending his hitting streak to a season-best 10 games. Napoli followed with a RBI double.
Niemann opened the third with consecutive singles to Alberto Callaspo(notes) and Torii Hunter(notes) before walking Matsui to load the bases.
That set up Napoli's 21st homer—and second career grand slam—off a 2-2 pitch that landed in the left-field seats, making it 8-1.
In the fourth, Niemann gave up a leadoff double to Kendrick before Callaspo flied out and Hunter walked.
Niemann turned things over to Andy Sonnanstine(notes), who promptly walked Matsui to load the bases. He then walked Napoli, forcing in the Angels' ninth run. Reggie Willits(notes) struck out before Jeff Mathis(notes) hit a ground-rule double in the right corner, scoring Hunter and Matsui and extending the lead to 11-1.
Kendrick's RBI single in the sixth made it 12-1.
The Rays got a two-run double from Jaso in the seventh.
NOTES: The Rays ended their West Coast trip with a 4-3 record. … Their entire traveling party wore custom-made Braysers (Rays blazers) out of town. The jackets are blue-and-white plaid with a sunburst on the lapel, Maddon's idea. … The Angels are off Thursday before opening a three-game series against Baltimore. … A male fan jumped out of the lower right-field seats and ran onto the field in the eighth inning. He scaled the wall in center before security could apprehend him.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, has been the source of much controversy over the years due to the frequent use of the "N word"and other racial slurs. In this piece, An artist called Someguy has blacked out the entire text of the book, except for the 212 instances of the word.
This piece brings to light many interesting points in the debate of censorship and hate speech. It was announced in the begining of 2011 that one book publisher with rights to 'Huckleberry Finn' will re-release the book with all instances of the word replaced by the "slave" instead. What do you think about this situation? Should this hateful word be stricken from the pages of all books or should we not censor the works of authors and writers?
Art turned fatal for John Jairo Villamil, a thought provoking 25-year-old Colombian university student, who asphyxiated himself amidst a performance. For his act, Villamil covered his head with a garbage bag and placed his feet inside a bucket of water. His actions served as a personal critique of his hometown of Bogotá, Colombia which has been considered one of the most violent cities in the world. Since he had previously executed this piece without incident, many thought the heavy breathing and convulsion were part of the act. Villamil died at an ICU five days after being pronounced brain dead immediately following the incident. His mother, who at one point is said to have provided tips on how to make the performance more shocking, is now blaming the university for neglect.- Huffington Post
Short video from Columbian TV about the incident after the jump.
Back in March B/D teamed up with Toyota Prius to bring you the Future Perfect Project. Due to certain circumstances beyond our control we couldn't consider submissions from international artists. However that didn't stop hundreds of loyal international B/D readers to send in work. We figured that the only honorable way to approach the situation would be to feature all of these artists day by day in a short series. For day numero uno we bring to you Tom Dorkin, a 21 year old illustrator from London who is quite creative when it comes to showing off the natural detail in decay. Maybe the only way our future will be perfect is if we realize our commonality in being decaying mammals and that we must seize the day rather than waste away.
Milwaukee based painter, Richard Galling is making some nice jams right now. There are a lot of youngsters in the Midwest right now playing around with loose geometric abstraction, and I must say, these stand out above the rest. Medieval dedication and form isolation. More after the jump…
If Ellie Cryer weren't focusing on drawing she'd be chasing storms or spotting planes, both of which occupations are probably in high demand seeing as the recent events in Alabama and Pakistan (yes, us killing Osama means we should be on an even higher terror alert). Luckily, despite the allure, her focus seems to be on the drawing board where she brings together an exotic mix of color with human emotion attached to nature and other surreal elements. Enjoy more of he work below.
Unless you've been living under a rock you've heard about the arrest of prominent Chinese artists and activist Ai WeiWei by the Chinese Government. Ai Wei Wei and dozens of bloggers and artists were arrested earlier in April for "inciting subversion of state power," a catch-all term used to jail anyone critical of Communist Party rule. Apparently The government is concerned that activists want to launch a "jasmine revolution" similar to the protests taking place in the Middle East.
Yesterday NPR released a great story about graffiti popping up all over China supporting the artist and demanding for his release. Street art is at its best when used to expose corruption. Taking your cause to the streets is one of the only ways to let your voice be heard In a country where the government won't give a legitimate platform to its citizens. Lets hope that more people stand up to the government and demand that not just Ai Wei Wei but all political prisoners are released and that an open discussion can begin between the Chinese government and the countries 1.4 Billion residents.
Listen and read the full story on NPR.

I get good sleep if i take a double dose before bed, but other than that im not sure, i didnt take it consistantly since everyday twice got annoying. Fits well in my assortment of things to help me get sleep when i really need it.
I think if you'll read the add for PGH closely you'll see that its
basically just GABA and glutamine, a common homeopathic GH
RELEASER. You could probably go to your local sup. shop and
get near to the same effect from taking 750-1000mg of GABA ed and
a several grams daily of glutamine. -
i began using it a little over a week ago .. i've been getting better quality sleep .. i've been on a hard cutter so its hard to soley attribute any increase in leanness and vascularity to the p-gh but there has been an increase .. just tossing that out there for what its worth
did yall take it orally?
I was looking to try this out sometime in the near future too, and no Im not going to use it orally...but sub-q.
thats what i am going to do....should be gettin here today or tomorrow
i started using it sub-q, but it actually would hurt for like 12-16 hours afterwards, not terrible but annoying
i've since switched to IM alternating between delts, tris, bis, and quads ZERO pain and i get the feeling you're supposed to get so i assume it works fine that way - 04-28-2005, 10:19 AM
Do you think this product would be good to take after a GH cycle? Sort of a GH pct?
I've been on it now for a little over a week, and the sleep effects are great, but it's too early to tell as far as any body comp. results.
poobah i don't know since my understand is its almost like a gh "prohormone" so using it after gh would be like using 4-ad after test .. but i dont know i've never used real gh
KFlex .. sick back! - 04-28-2005, 08:15 PM
I've been on p-gh for over a month and I love it, I've never taken real gh so I can't compare the two. My energy levels and endurance has skyrockted I'm 35 so that could be why it's working so well. I have lost a lot of bodyfat been hitting cardio pretty hard and trying to have a decent diet. Never had any type of pain from sub-q injection of p-gh I hope this info helps.

i inject .25ml morning and night .. yeah you definitely get a weird tingly feeling .. for me it starts with a weird taste in the back of my mouth, followed by an almost slight head rush, then a warm tingly feeling all over .. i kinda like it now lol .. but that's how you know its working, if you stop getting it for a few injects in a row you need to up the dose a bit .. but i don't know how common that is for that to happen
That tingle sensation is from the GABA. When I take oral GABA I get
the same feeling if I take 750mg without having had any food 3-4 hours
prior to taking it. I'm not against pinning sups. but I prefer oral sups.
they're available/effective in that form. - 04-30-2005, 07:57 PM

i am not a doctor of medicine nor do i play one on TV. but i would think that a person in their twenties would get better results than mine.
in my twenties, on the recomendation of an aquaintence, i used an arginie/ornithine supp.(which was the GH therapy of the time)
after one month, with no change to my workout or diet(can you tell i hate to diet, eat clean and then eat what i want, when i want, as much as i want), i was shredded. let me add, at this time i was not eating clean, and washing down my unclean diet with pints of guiness. - 05-13-2005, 12:26 PM

Why wouldn't oral GABA work? I've heard that it doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier, but I don't know if that's just orally or what. What's the deal with the flush you get from GABA? What is it doing to make you feel that?
Do you guys think that this would be a worthwhile "bridge" between AAS cycles?
In other words, would using P-GH injected IM 2x/day help maintain gains between AAS cycles without keeping the natural test production shutdown?
Any thoughts? - 05-15-2005, 03:20 PM
Any ideas on this bridge idea? I'm thinking about using it after my current body recomp cycle. I figure my body recomp cycle is probably going to last 12 weeks, so in my 12 weeks of "off" time, I think that running this as a bridge would be good idea.
A few questions first though:
1. You guys site-inject this, correct? If I follow this protocol, my delts and arms sure could use some work.
2. Sterility? Is this sterile enough to inject?
3. Pins? What size pin do you use, since you're sticking yourself 2x/day, I figure I should know. I'm guessing a slin pin, right?
How do you guys rotate sites? IE. Day 1 Biceps, Day 2 Triceps, Day 3 Delts, etc. Can you give me some examples? Anybody ever do calves with this? - 05-15-2005, 03:27 PM
Originally Posted by AlwayzTry'n

2. yup
3. a slin pin works just fine
i do rotate sites between both bis, both tris, and quads (different spots on quads than i inject my gear in) ... its water based though so it disperses very quickly and you don't have to worry about an abscess unless you inject in the EXACT same spot 2x a day every day - 05-15-2005, 04:24 PM
How long are you guys planning on taking this? Also I noticed on the instructions for mixing, it says take off the stoppers to mix the solvents. Since you inject this, i'm guessing you do not take of the stoppers, and just stick a needle in the dilutents and then stick it through the stopper in the powder to mix? Just checking if this is correct. Keep us updated on how well this works.
i'll be using it for 3 months .. its already been 1 month
and you are correct .. i just inject the BW into the vial - 05-15-2005, 04:32 PM

Listener Differences in Audio Compression Evaluations
In perceptual evaluations of audio coders, lack of agreement across listeners is a common problem. Recent studies have suggested that listeners may differ in fundamental ways. A method is presented for determining listener strategies and comparing listeners at a fine level of detail, and the effects of averaging ratings across listeners are quantified.

Uploader Notes
Contains: FotoBee V2.21, FotoSee V1.0, FotoBee TWAIN V1.1, but does not contain PhotoPrinter and PhotoFantasy (to keep file size reasonable). I have found that using the TWAIN driver from within a photo manipulation application (eg. LivePIX 2.0, Coral Suite 8 Photo House) to download pictures from the camera may cause a page fault. I suggest using the FotoBee application to download pictures instead. Try the www.jenoptik.com site for camera instructions "probe.pdf".

Former Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson is back to defend his 2011 Plain Dealer Celebrity Bracketology Challenge.
Hickson, who was traded to the Sacramento Kings for Omri Casspi and a conditional future first-round draft pick last June, has a different strategy in his bid to repeat.
After selecting three top seeds to reach the Final Four last year in Kansas, Duke and Pitt, he has none getting there this time. Instead, he is calling for No. 9 and defending champion UConn and three No. 2 seeds -- Missouri, Ohio State and Kansas -- to reach New Orleans in his bracket for the sixth annual contest. Hickson has Missouri defeating Kansas in the championship game.
Hickson's handwritten and signed bracket is at right . Brackets for the first two celebrities -- Indians pitcher Justin Masterson and former Ohio State basketball player David Lighty -- were published Wednesday and are accessible at cleveland.com/marchmadness online.
Hickson played one season at North Carolina State before being drafted by the Cavs in the first round in 2008, yet he has the No. 11 Wolfpack losing to San Diego State in the first round in the Midwest Region.
Hickson correctly predicted one Final Four participant last year -- Kentucky -- and won the contest with 315 points.

Product description
With a focus on indigenous cultural systems and agency theory, this volume analyzes Contact Period relations between North American Middle Atlantic Algonquian Indians and the Spanish Jesuits at Ajacan (1570-72) and English settlers at Roanoke Island (1584-90) and Jamestown Island (1607-12). It is an anthropological and ethnohistorical study of how European violations of Algonquian gift-exchange systems led to intercultural strife during the late 1500s and early 1600s, destroying Ajacan and Roanoke, and nearly destroying Jamestown.

Representative Wayne Rosenthal of Morrisonville joined fellow state representatives Adam Brown, Rich Brauer, D.C Davidsmeyer, and Bill Mitchell at a press conference yesterday at the University of Illinois Springfield unveiling a package of legislation designed to make college more affordable for middle-class Illinoisans. Rosenthal says this plan will help families send their kids to college:
comment here
The House Republicans' plan would create a $1000 tax credit to help middle class families pay for college expenses at an Illinois accredited school. The credit would grow for each semester that the eligible student is supported by the eligible taxpayer. To be eligible for the credit, the family or the student must have the following status: attend a MAP-approved Illinois institution on at least a half-time basis with tuition and fees greater than $1000, be an Illinois resident and a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and the family must have an adjusted gross income of less than $150,000. Those already receiving Illinois MAP grants would not be eligible.
