Hi! I'm Liz. Georgia born, Carolina educated, and California living.
I value strong friendships and family, and my best memories all involve good times and laughter with some pretty amazing people. I like to live a balanced life with lazy days and adventurous ones, healthy habits and a bad one... or three, a good book, some great wine, and some truly awful television (in small doses). I like to cook, but I love ramen. I like staying up on my current events, but sometimes I just need to go off the grid. I'm good at most sports, but I'm better at watching them. I'm a very tall girl, and I own a very little dog. Go figure.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Dancing, Running, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Dogs
I like Cats
Finally figuring my way around SF after living here for a few months now. Still no hot spots, but I'm absolutely loving this city.
Duke University, Durham, NC
To name a select few: Harry Potter, Radio Lab, inexpensive Asian cuisine, and Diet Coke.
When it's just me, I like to take my dog on walks, laugh at viral videos, and watch movies. When I'm with friends, I enjoy finding some good eats, exploring, good company and conversation.
Just finished up "Paper Towns" by John Green.

Yes, Allen salad is also known as a live saver .This recipe of cranberry salad looks like a healthy recipe. I once heard that Cranberries are a source of polyphenol antioxidants, phytochemicals under active research for possible benefits to the cardiovascular system, immune system and as anti-cancer agents. So I will try this healthy cranberry salad recipe very soon. Thanks for posting this healthy cranberry salad recipe.Really you are a great chef.

And what about the greens.You haven't mentioned using any spinach, arugula or lettuce as shown in the picture of this recipe!!
11/24/2011 - 11:07
The picture on top of this page is a cranberry green salad, with fresh berries, walnuts, oranges, greens, etc. is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately the jello recipe below it is not for this salad. Extremely disappointing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Practically Perfect in Every Way
I was nervous renting a house for vacation as I've never done so before. My entire Family rejoiced that i did! The house is located in a modest neighborhood and while not huge, has amenities I would normally associate with an executive home. The bedrooms are enormous, delightfully and tastefully decorated. The beds were a dream of comfort and the sheets were some smooth fabric made from newly made clouds. Ok. That's probably hyperbole but that's the way it felt. the only thing that felt small was the tastefully appointed living room and yet, proved to be more than adequate for the 6 adults we began the weekend with and the 8 adults (my two college age daughters joined us Saturday night) that it became. The deck/patio has 3 levels with as many seating areas, two of which have light/ceiling fan combos overhead. A large gas grill was provided and I served 20 people for a Friday night cookout where we invited my future son-in-law and his entire family burgers, brats, and hotdogs. The children loved the game room, the pool, and the play-equipment in the yard. Most of all we loved how we were able to spend so much time with each other when nothing was going on since we weren't relegated to separate hotel rooms, none of which had enough seating to accommodate us if we wanted to gather. I met the owner and he aggressively inquired after any requests, issues, or improvements we might suggest. We had a few, none which did anything to lessen our experience. All in all, a nearly perfect long weekend at the InterContinental Guest Home in Broken Arrow.

THE SUNDAY STORY The Madras High Court's order treating sexual relationships under some conditions as marriage opens the door to fresh litigation.
The judgement of the Madras High Court in Aysha vs Ozir Hassan does not really lay down any new law in a case where the husband denied the marriage even though he had declared himself as the father of the two children and stated that the petitioner was his wife in the ration card giving rise to presumption of marriage.
The concept of presumption of marriage is invoked to address instances when a spouse denies the marriage. In Mohd Amin and Others vs Vakil Ahmad and Others (AIR 1952 S.C 358) the Supreme Court held that the presumption of a lawful marriage would arise when there was a prolonged and continued cohabitation as husband and wife and where there was no insurmountable obstacle to marriage, such as prohibited relationship between parties, the spouses being not divorced and the like.
This doctrine has been discussed in great detail by the Supreme Court in Chanmuniya vs Virendra Kumar Singh (Judgements Today 2010 (11) 132) where precedents starting from the Privy Council have been referred giving a clear understanding of the development of law since 1929. The apex court held that a broad and expansive interpretation should be given to the term "wife" to include those cases where a man and a woman have been living together for a reasonably long period of time and strict proof of marriage should not be a pre-condition under Section 125 Cr.PC.
While considering the rights of women to receive maintenance in such situations the judgement does not address her economic rights in terms of her contribution towards the relationship in the form of her labour, care giving and material resources but has reinforced patriarchal notions by linking sexual relationship with marriage.
The judgement opines that if there is sexual intimacy then it automatically becomes marriage. It has in a vast sweep generalised all kinds of relationships and intimacies that could give rise to a lot of confusion in trial courts.
The implication of the court's observations is that if both parties have a casual relationship they would require dissolution of a nonexistent marriage. According to the judgment, "any couple who choose to consummate their sexual cravings then that act becomes a total commitment with adherence to all consequences that may follow except on certain exceptional considerations." (sic) These considerations are not listed.
The judgement further observes that either party may approach the family court for declaration of marital status by supplementing documentary proof of evidence in order to prove sexual relationship. Parties do file proceedings seeking such declaratory relief for marital status and in such cases presumption of marriage is raised. But to seek evidence to prove sexual relationship could be counterproductive. By this observation even dating with some physical intimacy and pictures in social media could imply that there was a marriage and would require a decree of divorce if the couple decide to break up. It could also lead to situations where young women who have had a relationship but would want to exit the same can be harassed by the filing of false cases using such documentary evidence.
Consider another observation, "if any couple who indulge in sexual gratification, then that would be considered as valid marriage and they could be termed as 'husband and wife' as a result of their choice of freedom." It is a growing reality that young people are exploring their right to choice and sexual autonomy before deciding on marriage and to declare that all of them should be treated as married can cause them more harm.
The court further holds that if the conjugal rights for sexual consummation are not fulfilled then such a marriage is deemed to be a failure, void or lapse. It concludes that the "main legal aspect for a valid marriage, namely consummation has happened in the case even before the formalities." Statutory law holds non-consummation as voidable at the option of the party who wants to come out of it. Judgements have held that refusal may amount to cruelty that is a ground of divorce.

13.07.07 - By Tony Nobbs: Unbeaten Australian Jamie Mr business Pittman improved to 14-0, 6 KO's) by dominating Filipino veteran Nonoy Gonzales (22-20-2,12 KO's) to take the WBA-PABA and vacant WBO Asia Pacific middleweight boxing titles last night at the Crowne Plaza in Terrigal on the NSW Central Coast.
In what the 25 year old, 6'1, southpaw Pittman, the captain of the Australian Olympic boxing team in Athens, described as his finest performance as a professional, he scored three knockdowns (nothing serious) and never looked like losing as he used brilliant combination punching and fast foot work to keep the rushing Gonzales missing him like he might miss Manila.
The decision was a shut out with scores of 120-105, 120-105 and 120-101!
Gonzales, much better than his record shows took the WBA -PABA belt back in April by stopping Gavin Top, who fought Felix Sturm last year. He went in predicting a knockout. Pittman, however, in his first fight at 160 pounds, had only one thing in mind. The W!
I only wanted to win. If the knockout came , it would have been good but I just concentrated on wracking up the points. I came into the ring at 82 kg. I'm going to be a very big middleweight. I made the weight comfortably, I'd been on weight after training, I felt super fit. I have to say that sparring Sakio Bika and Paul Briggs, going twelve rounds with those guys definitely helped me in my preparation said the Dean Robinson trained Pitty, a former Australian and WBF world champ at 168 pounds.
Undercard action, Australian cruiserweight champ Daniel Ammann won a six round UD over Queenslander James Chan (#8 Aust), unbeaten prospect Kerry Foley from Sydney knocked out local Benny Fedilika in round two, light heavyweights and Australian lightweight champ and Melbourne 2006 C/Wealth Games bronze medalist Lenny Zappavigna scored a first round KO of Jun Geraldino, a Sydney based Filipino, (3 knock down rule) welterweights.
Promoter: Dean Singleton (DSP Boxing) and Jamie Myer.

Parmesan Stuffed Green Peppers
|Olive oil
|1 Teaspoon
|Green peppers
|6 Medium, wiped clean
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Black pepper
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|2 Teaspoon
|2 Tablespoon
|1 Large, finely chopped
|1 Clove (5 gm), crushed
|Parmesan cheese
|2 Ounce, grated
|Chopped parsley
|2 Tablespoon
|Egg yolks
|Egg whites
|2 , beaten
With the teaspoon of olive oil, lightly grease a medium sized baking dish and set it aside.
With a sharp knife, slice off a 1 inch strip from the wider end of each pepper.
Chop each pepper strip into small dice.
Carefully remove and discard the white pith and seeds from the inside of each pepper.
Set aside.
Half fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to the boil over moderately high heat.
Add the peppers and blanch them for 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the peppers from the water and pat them dry with kitchen paper towels.
Set aside.
Preheat the oven to moderate 350°F (Gas Mark 4, 180°C).
In a medium sized heatproof mixing bowl, set over a saucepan half filled with hot water, combine the eggs, salt, pepper, flour and milk.
Beating constantly with a wire whisk or rotary beater, cook the mixture over low heat until it thickens.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the onion, garlic, chopped pepper, cheese and parsley.
When these are thoroughly incorporated, fold in the egg yolks and then the egg whites with a metal spoon.
Spoon equal quantities of the egg mixture into each pepper.
Stand the peppers upright in the prepared baking dish and place the dish in the centre of the oven.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and transfer the peppers to a warmed serving dish.
Either serve them immediately or leave them to cool.

Higher Education Debate to Resume in 2013
By Jerry Boggs, Georgetown News-Graphic & Jerry Boggs, Georgetown News-Graphic & Jerry Boggs
A year ago, there were surely many central Kentuckians unaware there even existed a school known as the University of Pikeville. The small eastern Kentucky school officially changed its name from Pikeville College in 2011. It was known as a rival to Georgetown College, particularly on the basketball court. Then, in 2012 UPike became a bone of contention across the state when a bill was filed in the Kentucky House of Representatives to bring the institution into the state public university system.

Roadside dinos of Yermo, California
April 27, 2015
A couple of weekends ago, London and I went camping and stargazing at Afton Canyon, a nice dark spot about 40 miles east of Barstow. On the way home, we took the exit off I-15 at Ghost Town Road, initially because we wanted to visit the old Calico Ghost Town. But then we saw big metal dinosaurs south of the highway, and that's how we came to Peggy Sue's Diner and in particular the Diner-saur Park.
The Diner-saur Park is out behind the diner and admission is free. There are pools with red-eared sliders, paved walkways, grass, trees, a small gift shop, and dinosaurs. Here's a Spinosaurus – curiously popular in the Mojave Desert, those spinosaurs.
Ornithischians are represented by two stegosaurs, this big metal one and a smaller concrete one under a tree.
The turtles are entertaining. They paddle around placidly and crawl out to bask on the banks of the pools, and on little islands in the centers.
The gift shop is tiny and the selection of paleo paraphernalia is not going to blow away any hard-core dinophiles. But it is not without its charm. And, hey, when you find a dinosaur gift shop in the middle of nowhere, you don't quibble about size. London got some little plastic turtles and I got some cheap and horribly inaccurate plastic dinosaur skeletons to make a NecroDinoMechaLaser Squad for our Dinosaur Island D&D campaign.
Now, about that sauropod. The identification sign on the side of the gift shop notwithstanding, this is not a Brachiosaurus. With the short forelimbs and big back end, this is clearly a diplodocid. The neck is too skinny for Apatosaurus or the newly-resurrected Brontosaurus, and too long for Diplodocus. I lean toward Barosaurus, although I noticed in going back through these photos that with the mostly-straight, roughly-45-degree-angle neck, it is doing a good impression of the Supersaurus from my 2012 dinosaur nerve paper. Compare this:
to this:
If I had noticed it sooner, I would have maneuvered for a better, more comparable shot.
Guess I'll just have to go back.

Baby box turtles, and the ghost of editors past
March 22, 2015
We adopted a couple of 6-week-old box turtles today.
They are Three-Toed Box Turtles, Terrapene carolina triunguis, and they are insanely adorable.
This one seemed oddly familiar…had I encountered it before?
UPDATE: The last few images here are an homage to Mike's Gilmore sequence from slide 96 in our 2012 SVPCA talk on Apatosarus minimus (link). I would have linked to it sooner, but I couldn't find the right blog post. Because there wasn't one. Memory!
The Titanic was sunk by an Apatosaurus cervical
February 13, 2015
According to Rare Historical Photos from the 1860s to the 1960s, this is the iceberg that sank the Titanic:
Clearly this was no iceberg, but a gigantic Apatosaurus vertebra, most of it hidden under water. Here is an artist's impression:
They get everywhere, don't they?
tiny brontosauruses
October 17, 2014
This arrived on my Facebook wall, courtesy of Raul Diaz. For a split second I really did think the one second from the right was an older-model Carnegie Brachiosaurus toy.
I assume that, like me, you have people in your life that you don't correspond with very often, and when you remember that they exist, it just makes you happy. Like, yeah, there's a slightly higher chance that our species is going to make it, just because that person is out there in the world, doing what they do. Raul is in that category for me. He's a herpetologist, but that term doesn't really do him justice; Raul is into herps like Genghis Khan was into real estate acquisition.
Now he's an Assistant Professor at La Sierra University and also teaches at the Loma Linda University School of Medicine (Raul, that is, not Genghis Khan). But I've known him since he was an undergrad. He was a student in one of my discussion sections for the evolution course at Berkeley. I had a tradition in all the classes I taught as a grad student: on the last class meeting I'd have people bring food and we'd have a little potluck. Raul showed up with a six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon. No-one else was partaking, so Raul and I spent 50 minutes drinking PBR and talking about descent with modification. Good times.
Oh, and the "tiny brontosauruses" are actually coatis, genus Nasua, raccoon relatives that range from the southwestern US to northern South America. Surprisingly, I don't think that Darren has ever covered coatis in detail at TetZoo; maybe this will spur him into action.
SO close
August 21, 2014
I have often argued that given their long hindlimbs, massive tail-bases, and posteriorly-located centers of mass, diplodocids were basically bipeds whose forelimbs happened to reach the ground. I decided to see what that might look like.
Okay, now obviously I know that there are no trackways showing sauropods actually getting around like this. It's just a thought experiment. But given how close the center of mass of Diplodocus is to the acetabulum, I'll bet that this pose was achievable in life. If diplodocids had just pushed the CM a few cm farther back, they might have dispensed with forelimbs entirely, or done something different with them, like re-evolved grasping hands.
Image modified from Gilmore (1932: plate 6). Here's a horizontal-necked bipedal Diplodocus and the original pose:
UPDATE the next day: I had forgotten that Niroot had already done a bipedal Apatosaurus, and a much more convincing one than mine. Go see it.
UPDATE the next week: Well, heck. Looks like the primary value of this post was so that people would remind me of all the other places the same idea has already been covered better. As you can see from the comment thread, Mike blogged about this at the WWD site, Scott Hartman drew it, and Heinrich Mallison showed that it was plausible. Sheesh, I suck.

Welcome, Cracked readers–here's some eyeball bait
March 9, 2014
Although it would be nice to think that our site views have octupled in the last day because of Mike's fine and funny posts about what search terms bring people to SV-POW!, the real reason is that we were blessed by incoming links from both pages of this Cracked.com article.
Now, as any person who has ever accomplished anything whatsoever knows, it is super-important to avoid Cracked.com or you'll still be up 23 hours from now reading, "6 Mind-Blowing Ways that Comedy Writers are Secretly Destroying Your Productivity". (I'm kidding, that article doesn't really exist–but if it did, I'm sure it would consist entirely of descriptions and links to six other Cracked articles). But that's only true because most of the articles there hit the sweet spot at the intersection of funny, surprisingly informative, mercifully short, and well-written. Crack.com would be a more honest URL, but I assume it was taken.
Anyway, I'd like to return the favor, so here's a list of the 6 SV-POW! Posts Most Likely to Blow the Minds of Cracked.com Readers. If I missed some goodies or recommended some stinkers, let me know–the comment thread is open.
1.How big was Amphicoelias fragillimus? I mean, really?
Who doesn't want to read about the bizarre real-world mystery surrounding what might have been the world's largest dinosaur? If you're not sold, consider that the picture above shows a single vertebra that was–or at least might have been–seven and a half feet tall.
2. Oblivious sauropods being eaten
The mercifully short version of this much longer post, in which I consider the consequences of the world's largest animals having the world's longest cells.
Weapons-grade anatomical pedantry.
4. CONFIRMED: the Umbaran Starfighter is an Apatosaurus cervical
Yes, there is a ship in Star Wars: The Clone Wars that is basically a flying dinosaur vertebra. It took us about five weeks to unravel that story–the post linked above has links to the rest of the saga.
5. SV-POW! showdown: sauropods vs whales
Our original linkbait post. Don't miss the shorter follow-up with more critters.
6. Friday phalanges: Megaraptor vs Saurophaganax
A deliberately goofy post in which I wax poetic about the largest predatory dinosaur claws ever discovered.
So, that was a big pile of superlatives and Star Wars. If you're hungry for more substantial fare, you might start with our Tutorials page or our Things to Make and Do series on dissecting and skeletonizing modern animals. We also blog a lot about the evils of obstructive publishers and the need for open access to the scientific literature–you can find those posts on our Shiny Digital Future page.
A parting shot in my desperate quest for attention: this Star Wars ship flying around in the background in Firefly and Serenity is at least partly my fault–full story here. Oh, and my co-blogger Mike Taylor has written an insightful and affordable book about Doctor Who; read about it here.
The case of the bandy-legged Diplodocus
March 1, 2014
Christine Argot of the MNHN, Paris, drew our attention to this wonderful old photo (from here, original caption reproduced below):
I found a different version of what seems to be the same photo (greyscaled, lower resolution, but showing more of the surrounding area) here:
What we have here is a truly bizarre mount of Diplodocus — almost certainly one of the casts of the D. carnegii holotype CM 84 — with perfectly erect, parasagittal hind-limbs, but bizarrely everted elbows.
There are a few mysteries here.
First, where and when was this photo taken? Christine's email described this as a "picture of a Diplodocus cast taken in St. Petersburg around 1920″, and the caption above seems to confirm that location; but then why is it copyright the Paleontological Museum, Moscow? Since the web-site in question is for a Swedish museum, it's not forthcoming.
The second photo is from the web-site of the Borisyak Paleontological Institute in Moscow, but that site unfortunately provides no caption. The juxtaposition with two more modern Diplodocus-skeleton photos that are from its own gallery perhaps suggest that the modern mount shown in the more recent photographs is a re-pose of the old mount in the black-and white photo. If so, that might mean that the skeleton was actually in Moscow all along rather than St. Petersburg, or perhaps that it was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow and remounted there.
Does anyone know? Has anyone out there visited the St. Petersburg museum recently and seen whether there is still a Diplodocus skeleton there? If so, is it still mounted in this bizarre way? Better yet, do you have photos?
The second question of course is why was this posture used? This pose makes no sense for several reasons — one of which is that even if Diplodocus could attain this posture it would only serve to leave the forefeet under the torso in the same position as erect forelimbs would have them. The pose only makes any kind of sense at all if you imagine the animal lowering its torso to drink; but given that it had a flexible six-meter-long neck, that hardly seems necessary.
Of course Diplodocus does have a history of odd postures: because of the completeness of the D. carnegii holotype, it became the subject of the Sauropod Posture Wars between Tornier, Hay and Holland in the early 20th Century. Both Tornier (1909) and Hay (1910) favoured a sprawling posture like that of lizards (see images above and below), and were soundly refuted by Holland
But the Tornier and Hay postures bear no relation to that of the mounted skeleton in the photographs above: they position the forefeet far lateral to the torso, and affect the hindlimbs as well as the forelimbs. So whatever the Russian mount was doing, I don't think it can have been intended as a representation of the Tornier/Hay hypothesis.
But it gets even weirder. Christine tells me that "I'm aware of […] the tests that Holland performed on the Russian cast to get rid of the hypothesis suggesting a potential lizard-like posture. So I think that he would have never allowed such a posture for one of the casts he mounted himself." Now I didn't know that Holland had executed the mounting of this cast. Assuming that's right, it makes it even more inexplicable that he would have allowed such a posture.
Or did he?
Christine's email finishes by asking: "What do you think? do you think that somebody could have come behind Holland to change the position? do you know any colleague or publication who could mention this peculiar cast and comment its posture?"
Can anyone help?

For just 3 years of training you are playing very good tennis. But, you are competing against players who played much much longer with similar intensity. Keep it up and keep working hard but it's time to find some high level instructions and coaching to further your development.
A couple tips. I love the energy on your footwork but it's a little over the top being on the balls of your feet. That wastes energy and reduce solidity on your shots. And you gotta learn weight transfer not just putting your body in the middle of your feet all the time. Try to learn putting your weight on the heels more and only go for the balls of the feet when needed. This will give more stability and solidity for each foot and be able to transfer weight for the benefit of your shots.
Your backhand. The contact point is too low relative to your hands and it's not on the most efficient swing path. Try to lower your hands and lift up the racquet head for the contact point. Swing your hands lower than the ball not level. This should improve solidity and consistency of your backhand.

Scene and heard at the Sundance Film Festival
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Associated Press reporters at the Sundance Film Festival share what's in their notebooks:
FILM STRIKES PERSONAL CHORD : Zoe Saldana and Mark Ruffalo explore the effects of mental illness on a family in their movie "The Infinite Polar Bear."
Ruffalo and Saldana play parents, Cameron and Maggie, in the 1970s. After Ruffalo's character loses his job after having a nervous breakdown, the family falls on hard times. Maggie gets accepted into an MBA program out of state and must leave their two daughters in the care of their father.
Saldana said the story struck a chord with her because she lost her own father as a child.
"It sort of had a very powerful impact on me once I read the script because of the whole father and daughters relationship, and that sort of hit home for me," said the actress.
Saturday's premiere marked Ruffalo's eighth film at Sundance.
"I have a history at this place," he explained. "This will be my eighth movie here and the first time I came here was in 1990," he said.
"I didn't have a movie here and I lived in a ski dorm with a bunch of skiers for $30 a night, dreaming about the day that I'd get to go to Sundance with a movie," he laughed, " and here I am eight movies later ... It's cool."
— Alicia Rancilio, AP Writer (Twitter: @aliciar)
KRUGER'S SUNDANCE DEBUT: Diane Kruger made her first trip to the largest U.S. indie film festival for the premiere of "The Better Angels," about a young Abraham Lincoln.
"This is my first time in Sundance. So it seems very crowded and fun," Kruger said Saturday. "It's a really neat resort and the movies are a little bit more independent I guess than the Cannes Film Festival's are. So I'm really excited to be here."
Kruger plays Sarah Lincoln, young Lincoln's stepmother in rural Indiana in 1817. Kruger says she learned a new side of the president.
"What I loved about the script was that yes, it's about Abe Lincoln but it could be about any child who was different, who was curious and who met an adult -- in this case Sarah Lincoln who I play -- who encouraged him to go to school, who encouraged his talent," she said. "And I loved the message that no matter where you're from or how poor you are, you can be a great man. You can change the world."
The black-and-white film is produced by Terrence Malick and written and directed by frequent Malick collaborator A.J. Edwards.

CATTY STARS: Even celebrities with no movies to promote can find reasons to come to Sundance.
Actor Gilles Marini and reality star Kendra Wilkinson lent their fame to Catdance, the one-night celebration of cat videos held during the Sundance Film Festival.
Marini hosted the brief program Saturday, presenting golden litter scoops to the five amateur filmmakers whose kitty flicks were shown. Cat-video fans can watch the short films online and vote for their favorites (www.freshstep.com/catdance). The winning filmmaker will receive $50,000.

I took the back of my dryer off to see if the problem was there. I saw that the belt was broken and laying on the inside of the dryer. Took belt and went on line (Google) my KitchenAid Dryer from it's model number. The website was PartSelect. Found the belt I needed and saw a video on how to replace the belt. I called to order the belt and spoke to Steve, which help me with all my needs. Steve knew just the belt I was looking for and placed my order. The belt arrived a few days later. While I was waiting for the belt to come in, I removed the front of the dryer and get ready for reinstall. It took me about 15 minutes to install the belt and put the front of the dryer back together. I found PartSelect to be very helpful and saved me, maybe $150.00 by not having to call a serviceman to do the easy replacement. Thank you Steve and PartSelect, now I'm number 1 with the wife again.

The Southeastern US was hit by an artic blast this week. It was pretty strange to leave LA in a very un-winterly 80 degrees and fly into an unseasonably freezing Atlanta. There were several public fountains in the Buckhead area which had frozen over ; and the traffic was at a snails pace as slick ice patches formed on the roadways.
Thanks to pranayama and drishti , I was able to plow through the "dharma" of work , being the best & not losing my cool.
The biggest challenge to me was the scourge of the on-board roller bags. People, I know it is a hassle to claim luggage at the carousel , regardless of the state of an airport. However, in order to co-exist , it is NOT COOL to pack & bring more than what the overhead bin can contain. And if you can't pull it out yourself , just wait until your fellow travelers have cleared the aisles so they can make their connections instead of being an inconsiderate space hog.
So all this "witnessing" can cause a bit of callousness , almost to the point of being frozen emotionally. I felt it physically as well when I returned to SaMo & practiced at Jorgen's led class. My body was not responding & flowing in certain asanas . It was a great opportunity to finally sweat all the residue out , re-connect & imbibe this seasoned teacher's inner strength , warmth & calm.
** I am also being asked by fellow practitioners as to what Sri Dharma Mittra is really like , as the anticipation starts to build prior to his Exhale visit. My reponse is : " Sri Dharma is a gentle guy , genuinely kind & humble but with amazing light & wisdom. He walks the walk ." In this age of wanna-be supastah instructors , Sri DM is for reals. Hari Om .

I think that the Titleist Forged 690.cb Golf Irons are great. They have a great Feel. Sets up nicely. Good spin, and the long irons are really nice to hit. Distance is good. Little bit of adjustment period after purchasing, especially if you are new to blade irons. After that though.... they are amazing!

I'm glad to see your magazine on the rack and more people promoting DIESELS! I agree the future looks great.
Hello John,
I'm glad to see your magazine on the rack and more people promoting DIESELS! I agree the future looks great.
I've had Kubota diesel tractors since the 1970s, an '80s Rabbit diesel, '90s Dodge Cummins diesel, Ford 2000 7.3-liter and now the WORST, a 2004 Ford 6.0-liter Power Stroke in a Super Duty F-350.
No one should be upgrading these engines until the 6.0L works as offered. There have been 77 TSBs and thousands of consumer complaints on these engines.
I've had my turbo hose expand, causing a clamp failure and exhaust leaks, rear cam seal sensor failure causing oil leaks, O-ring failure on glow plugs causing oil leaks, EGR oil cooler gasket failure causing oil leaks, air intake gasket failure causing loss of power, water separator housing failure causing fuel leaks, EBP sensor failure, cracked exhaust manifold, and the EGR Valve failure which caused the truck to shut down and be towed, plus had three recalls done. These all occurred between 34-49K miles.
Ford does advertise the Super Duty 6.0L as, "V8 engine designed to meet customer expectations of high horsepower and torque with exceptional fuel economy and low NVH. It must do this while meeting the tough emissions standards set by the EPA and CARB."
In my opinion Ford needs to get better customer support for the 6.0L diesels owners.
Thank you,
Gus Mueller
Sloansville, New York
We talked to a Ford rep we know off the record, so we can confirm Ford is aware they have some work to do when it comes to making the 6-liter as popular with enthusiasts as the 7.3. Just coincidentally, in this issue you'll see the first installment of our project F-350. It's equipped with-you guessed it-a 6-liter diesel. At this point, we have just 7100 miles on the truck, which has been lightly modified for use as a tow vehicle. For what it's worth-and we know it's early-we're still not experiencing anything unusual. Be sure to check out our News section too so you can read about Ford offering loyalty incentives to owners of the '03 and '04 Super Duty trucks with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke.

'Smashed' not a watered-down look at alcoholism
- Grade: B-
- Director: James Ponsoldt
- Writers: James Ponsoldt and Susan Burke
- Starring: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Aaron Paul, Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman
- MPAA rating: R for alcohol abuse, language, some sexual content and brief drug use
- Running time: 80 minutes
"Smashed" isn't as happy-go-lucky-frat-party as its title implies.
The film, directed and co-written by James Ponsoldt, smacks you in the face with its realism and will be perhaps the most undreamy, unpretty film you will see this year as its urbanite characters, in hippie-bluejeans-young people duds, meander through the grit and grime of Los Angeles. Warm fuzzies are definitely mocked and shunned here, which is this straight-shooting movie's weakness. Despite strong performances, the film doesn't elicit strong emotions. While it's easy to root for the main character, we aren't moved enough or heartbroken enough by the crumbling of her life.
The film is about alcoholism, and not the clubbing kind of college party alcoholism, but serious, woeful, mean streets kind of alcoholism — a disease with no discriminatory powers that appears in the most mundane of people, in this case elementary school teacher Kate Hannah (Mary Elizabeth Winstead in a thoroughly actorly performance; she really digs her chops into this meaty role).
Kate throws up in class one day, the result of a hangover, though when the curious first-graders ask her if it's because she's pregnant, she just says yes to make things easier.
Kate's seemingly compassionate boss (Megan Mullally), who never had children but obviously longs to have one, shows the appropriate amount of compassion, though if she really knew what was going on, you suspect she wouldn't be so supportive and probably would hold off on throwing that baby shower.
Kate spends her evenings drinking and having a good old time in the clubs with her husband, Charlie ("Breaking Bad's" Aaron Paul). He doesn't mind Kate's alcoholism because he, too, is an alcoholic.
Then after a night of partying, Kate wakes up passed out on the ground near the airport. That, among other things, scares her enough for her to accept an invitation from buttoned-up fellow teacher Dave ("Parks and Recreation's" Nick Offerman) to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Dave, quiet and unassuming as he is, doesn't look like the kind to have ever been an alcoholic, much like Kate.
Things look up for a time, but even with the help of her Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor (Octavia Spencer), Kate learns sobriety is just the first step in reclaiming her life. She soon realizes that if she wants to remain sober, she can no longer be with her husband.
"Smashed" isn't a very pretty film. Ponsoldt sets the tale in grimy, nondescript urban America with no stunning visuals for escapist sake. The film is solely focused on the characters in their everyday lives, and all without losing a sense of humor (Offerman's character is pretty odd in a funny kind of way).
Stunning performances come from Winstead ("Scott Pilgrim vs. the World"), who puts some power into how she plays, going from party-girl, out-of-control mode, to desperation when she finally tells her husband she can't be with him, to a stunned look on her face when her character wakes up and doesn't know where she is.
Paul, though he isn't in as many scenes, takes on a more quiet, understated approach that works.
Spencer makes an impression as the just-the-facts recovering alcoholic with all the wiseness in the world in her eyes, and Offerman, who is usually in comedy mode, plays it uncomfortably straight in his unforgettable supporting role.
"Smashed" isn't exactly a fun film to watch, but it also isn't overly depressing. It is a realistic look at alcoholism and its dynamic in the everyday world we all know.

Personally, I only like the Tunic, with the horns sticking out of the shoulder, the rest just look like some sort of gothic sexual mashochism suit. The armor is the Fissure of Woe armor I think.

Ah sorry, yes I did mean the picture he posted. What kind of armor is it though, same as?
How can you save all that money for all that 15k armor? Specially those expensive rare crafting materials! I just dont know how you can get more than 30k without buying virtual gold GW money in the internet or in E-Bay....
People, kindly ask your questions outside of this thread. This is a picture thread only!
dont know if fissure for male was posted yet im not going to go through all the pages

My character Dakrath Ahn, wearing the 15k Necrotic boots, gloves and leggings, and the normal chest/face scars. All dyed black.
PS: Slightly influenced by Prince of Persia : Sands of Time.
cool pics, i know were not "meant" to ask questions, but oh well. where is the collector for the dester tunic? i just need a location.
as for fissure armour, there are no bonuses right? so ur shelling out how much just to look like you've had an accident in a black thorn bush?
and has any1 noticed, necromancer female armour is all about showing off cleavage- thing bonelace 15k, any scar pattern armour, the desert tunic, even the corset like tormentors (heaving busems spring to mind). skaterly clad females to make any 34B heave.
The collector for the Tunic is right outside Heroes Audience. And believe it or not, he wants Bleached Carpaces. :D

NetLogo is a multi-agent modeling environment originally conceived by the complex systems community for simulating natural and social phenomena. Despite its simplicity, NetLogo is a powerful tool in many fields of research. It is especially well suited for modeling large collections of independent agents developing over time, thus being a promising solution for simulating and analyzing distributed systems such as modern wireless networks. In this chapter we illustrate the feasibility of this approach, by providing a detailed tutorial about the application of NetLogo to wireless communications.

The threat could also be very rare, but have a high enough cost when it does occur that working to prevent it is beneficial.
Those who would be carrying out the threat could think the security is better than it is and hence be using other methods,i.e. the deterrent factor is working.
Or a bunch of others of course.

Those clearly aren't life forms. Otherwise we might as well just declare the hydrogen atom the dominant form of life in the universe.
And anyway the bacteria that most likely accompanied Curiosity to Mars outnumber the robots on Mars. Of course they might not have survived the trip and would be dormant (though that's more alive than a rover.)
Microorganisms dominate Earth. It's all ridiculous "make shit up" speculation, but it seems reasonable that microorganisms would dominate other places that have life. Obviously its not proof, but you only asked for evidence. microorgnisms dominate known life in the Universe, surely the burden for evidence is on those claiming that the rest of the universe is different than the bit we have observed.
If you are talking about intelligent life engaging in interstellar space travel then sure, computer brains are more likely than biological life assuming our current understanding of physics is vaguely similar to reality but that's a different thing than the "dominant form of life in the Universe".
Some movie theaters backed down not Sony.
Sony of course then cancelled the release - they're pretty dumb but even they can work out that releasing your movie with a bunch of the large chains not showing it is a sure fire way to bomb at the box office. The reason for those chains not showing the movie is irrelevant to that decision.
How does that stop you using * and ? in a file name. How does that stop you using "Character 255" in a filename?
It does of course stop you using utf8 filenames.
Cars are reasonably visible at night already, with the headlights and taillights and whatnot.
If the screens are linked to the indicators then cars are already very visible when you add flashing lights at that point.

Merck revenue is irrelevant.
Flipping something that cost you $205,000 for $50,000,000 is the relevant part. That usually makes the guy who sold you it for $205,000 look a little stupid.
Of course an experimental ebola vaccine wasn't worth that much in 2010 since the Africans needing it then didn't have lots of cash to pay for it. However, $200k isn't a huge amount of money for a government either, so you would hope the reason for selling the rights was so that a private party would actually do something to move the thing forward rather than just sitting on it and doing nothing until a white guy got infected and the ebola money jackpot triggered.
NewLink Genetics didn't seem that big.
Canada just made a very bad deal with them. Then again hindsight and all that, an unproven ebola vaccine was worth less in 2010 than in 2014...

Re: IRS Lien Removal[ Edited ]

Have you tried looking at the irs.gov website. It should tell you what you need to do there.
Not sure that the IRS will help with a state tax lien. You state statues should tell you what, if anything, can be done. I would start by calling the tax auditor/assessor or what ever they are called in your state.

Babolat Propulse 4 Shoe Playtest
View Single Post
Join Date: Nov 2011
Posts: 306
Thanks again for working with me Brittany and TW!
Tennis experience/background: 4.5 primarily doubles player. A bit of singles every now and then.
Describe your playing style (i.e. serve & volley): All court style but I like to finish at the net whenever possible.
Current shoe: Nike Court Ballistec 3.3 for practice. New Balance 996 for match days.
How many hours did you play with the shoe? Around 21 hours
Comments on shoe performance:
I found the shoe to be very comfortable. Had more cushion than the 996's for sure. I found it just as comfortable as the Ballistecs but without the clunky feel. It still feels like a fast shoe for how much cushioning is offered. Didn't have a break in period and was comfortable right out of the box. I enjoyed that after having the excruciating break in period of my 3.3's.
-arch support:
The Propulses have plenty of arch support for me. They offer more than the 996's and are better than the Ballistecs as well in my mind. I did not feel the need to change insoles, which is something I have been doing with my New Balances.
The support was very good in these shoes. Stability was a bit off but that was because the 10.5 size in these was bigger than the same size in my other shoes. I would order a half size down from regular if I got these again. The straps were great for locking in my forefoot and heel into the shoe. During the course of play, the shoes would loosen up a bit and that's where the extra size would make them feel a bit less stable. As long as I re-laced them on a changeover, they were fine and went right back to that locked in feel that I really enjoyed about them. They support was still there 20+ hrs in which is a bit better than my 996's or old 851's. With those I could feel the support for my ankles starting to weaken. These continued to be nice and sturdy the entire way through my play time.
Solid ventilation. I preferred these over my Ballistecs. They don't breathe quite as well as my 996's do so I would probably transition these to more of a practice shoe. I like match day shoes to be as light and breathable as possible. Still, the ventilation is better than the Nike's and easily better than the last Barricades I had.
-sole durability:
The soles are still holding up very well. I have been playing a mix of indoor and outdoor hard courts and the tread pattern is just starting to smooth of at the front of the shoe. Even though I only have about 21 hours on them, they seem to be wearing on par with my Ballistecs and look to be holding up a bit better than my 996's.
-toe durability:
No issues whatsoever with toe durability. I'm not a big toe dragger though. The only shoe I ever had a toe issue with was the Adizero Ace and that was just a cheap shoe. I can see some scuffing from the times I do drag, but there is no sign of any other wear on the toe.
Traction was very solid. They are less grippy than my 996's, which I actually kind of liked. I felt that the shoes allowed to me to slide a little bit more which I tend to do when on the run on hard courts. It was a good combination as I felt I had enough traction for quick stops and lateral moves but the shoes didn't fight me when I tried to slide.
The Propulse 4 is not quite as light as the NB 996, but it is lighter than my pair of Ballistec 3.3's. To me it also feels and plays lighter than it is. It had a solid weight and cushion to it without feeling like tanks on my feet, which the Ballistecs do. I never felt hampered or bothered by the weight of the Propulse 4.
General reaction/comments on overall performance:
The Propulse 4 is a very solid shoe. It has a fairly light feel with nice stability and support while still providing a high level of traction and cushion. I think I would have liked these even more had I gotten them a half size smaller. That would have fixed the issue of my foot moving around a bit in the shoe. I enjoyed these much more than my Ballistecs and will put them into play as my practice shoe of choice.

David Hansen's opinion piece in the July 26, 2013 edition of the Coastline Pilot regarding the Cliff restaurant's application for outdoor music badly misrepresents the relationship between the restaurant and near-by residents who object to the noise.
Mr. Hansen compares Laguna Beach residents who complain about noise from the Cliff to city dwellers who move to the country and complain about cow odors. There's only one thing wrong with this fable: Mr. Hansen has his facts completely wrong.
When my wife and I moved with our two young daughters south of downtown Laguna, there was no outdoor music at the local bars and restaurants. It was a quiet neighborhood where people raised families and got up early to go to work, as they do today. Live music on the South Coast Highway was confined to a handful of bars and restaurants, and none of it was outdoors.
The effort to remake the Coast Highway south of Broadway into Bourbon Street by the Beach is new. And it is affecting family neighborhoods south of downtown in very negative ways.
There is a better way to understand the conflict between bar and restaurant owners on the South Coast Highway than Mr. Hansen's good guy/bad guy fable. Instead, there is a balance of interests between residents and businesses, and it has swung out of balance for the past several years, to the detriment of residents. Sophisticated business owners — and city officials — will recognize the wisdom of maintaining an appropriate balance, fearing the restrictions on businesses and their patrons that will be demanded by an energized public. It is in everyone's interest for the Cliff's application regarding outdoor music to be denied.
Pearson was on point in radio interview
I listened to a recent KX 93.5 interview of Councilmember Elizabeth Pearson regarding the Village Entrance project. The interview struck me less as a forum for community enlightenment and more of a platform for the interviewers to express their own opinions in the form of questions. Overall, it had a whiff of a red herring — a logical fallacy that misleads or detracts from an actual issue and that seeks to lead one to a false conclusion.
The red herring in this instance pertained to questions that seemed to be intended to lead a casual listener to conclude that the Village Entrance project has been designed with insufficient community consultation; is focused only on parking; would cost too much and would put the city in financial jeopardy; that it couldn't be designed to withstand earthquakes; that it would excessively expose the community to contaminants; and that it would be damaged in El Nino events. Fortunately, Ms. Pearson effectively countered these impressions. The recent Q & A Village Entrance press release from the city manager definitively addresses these issues.
As a former planning commissioner, Design Review Board member and participant in the 1996 Village Entrance Task Force that defined the still-current vision for the area, I would like to reconfirm Ms. Pearson's points.
After 18 years of public input — including a six-year environmental impact report review — the project has been vetted to the point that it is ready to be moved forward with confidence.
The Village Entrance was always intended to be a "beautification" project (with parking) to reflect that we are aesthetically oriented community. With all the present focus on parking, a neglected but key fact is that without the parking garage, the beautification could not occur. The landscaped promenade along Forest Avenue and Laguna Canyon Road will create an aesthetic ambience commensurate with our international reputation for beautiful landscapes.
The recently-raised notion of reducing landscaping and substituting it with more grade-level parking in order to reduce the size of the parking structure and costs is self-defeating in relation to the long-adopted vision. It is also penny-wise and pound-foolish. Careful attention to proper siting, design detail, quality construction and materials is essential for the vision to be properly realized. I urge the council and community to resist this half-baked idea.
By building the garage and limited surface parking area of 600 spaces, a net increase of some 200 stalls, the community gains many benefits, several of which have not received much attention. Aside from accommodating the inevitable increase of visitors due to intensive nearby growth (thousands of new inland homes), the location of ample parking on the edge of the immediate downtown core can have the effect of reducing congestion there.
Equally important, the additional spaces would allow for the possible removal of asphalt currently occupied by parking for and replacement with more pedestrian-oriented and aesthetic amenities. Without the additional spaces, this could not be done because of Coastal Act restrictions.
Parking at the Village Entrance, combined with future structures in other parts of town, expansion of the trolley and creation park and ride programs from inland areas, are all essential parts of an effective mobility solution to reduce the number one issue for the community — congestion and parking difficulty. All of these strategies need to be implemented in a coordinated, comprehensive manner.
Are there risks of increased costs due to unknowns and natural hazards to be addressed? Of course there are. But the notion seemingly implied by the KX93.5 interviewers that we should not build the Village Entrance because of cost uncertainty and the hazards that face everyone here is undue risk aversion as opposed to prudent risk management. Taking this logic to its ultimate extension, we would not build anything anywhere.
Pearson was also on point regarding the consequences of a referendum. A referendum by nature cannot effectively deal with the nuances of a project of this type. Referendums —particularly in a tight knit community like Laguna — inject unrelated political agendas into the debate, fracture the community, destroy friendships and often produce no useful or different result from the original decision. We've seen this before in Laguna Beach.

I have a band who has asked me to build their website. They told me they want it to be similar to the paramore website http://www.paramore.net/
can anyone tell me if the paramore site is a wordpress site? I cant tell.
Also if it is then are wordpress sites easy to customize graphicly?
Thank you in advance!!!
It is not a wordpress site, it's built in ASP . Something similar could however be built with wordpress very easily.
Good luck on getting the job
I doubt that site is using WordPress but I'm not really sure. I would assume the record company they are with uses a proprietary content management system.
Yes, WordPress sites are very easy to customize.
Good luck with your build! It looks like it would be a fun one.
Try this tool when determining the technologies a site built with.
Works great and it's much easier than digging through code.
Yeah – I didn't think that was an ASP .NET site.
Thanks for all of the great feedback everyone. Wow everyone on here is so supportive, its awesome!
Does anyone know of any good wordpress themese that would be similar to the paramore site?
if so i would be so pumped if you could pass that info along. thank you so much everyone!!!!
No, not really, but be sure to check chris coyiers band site out. 108028&c=cart&aff=40572&ejc=2" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" target="ej_ejc">

Group of senators might be real brains behind 'pork' scam – Santiago
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago suspects that a senator or group of senators, and not Janet Lim-Napoles, might be the real "mastermind" in the P10-billion "pork barrel" scam.
Santiago doubts that Napoles, who has no position in government, would have that kind of courage to get into that situation if there was no powerful person that she knew would protect her.
Asked then who would be the "mastermind" in the scam if it were not Napoles, the senator said: "It should be a senator, or a group of senator. Hindi sya maglalakas loob na ganyan… (She can't be that smart)."
"Kaya ang mga [Chinese] mahilig makipag kaibigan sa mga senador. Hanapin mo ang bestfriend, ang BBF ng mga [Chinese], yun ang corrupt na senador… (That is why Chinese tend to befriend senators. Find their best friend and you will discover it is a corrupt senator)," she said at a press conference in the Senate on Wednesday.
Asked if she knows Napoles, Santiago said: "Hindi. Siguro kilala nya ako pero sya hindi (No. She might know me but I don't know her). We've never met."
And if Napoles will identify her protectors, then the senator said she could qualify as a state witness.
"Kung yun ang gawin nya (If she would do that), I will agree that she will no longer be the most guilty," she said.
But Santiago said Napoles need not have to be a state witness to tell the truth because if a case would be filed against her in connection with the alleged misuse of legislators' priority development assistance fund (PDAF) or "pork barrel" funds, then she has no choice but to tell the truth to defend herself.
At present, Napoles has been charged only with serious illegal detention of whistle-blower Benhur Luy.
Santiago said the government must also file a case against her as well as the congressmen and senators involved in the pork scam.
"If the senators and the congressmen are not charged… it will show that we senators are special breed. Do not touch us. We are not ordinary human beings…," she added.

Alec Hamilton, Assistant Producer, WNYC News
Alec Hamilton is an Assistant Producer in the WNYC newsroom. She produces Morning Edition and starts her work day very, very early.
This autumn, the Bard is on Broadway with several new Shakespeare performances. Some big name stars are making appearances, including two known for recent appearances as rival super heroes in the X-Men movies.
Actors Ian McKellen and Partick Stewart are working a double-header. "No Man's Land" and "Waiting for Godot" begin on an alternating schedule at the Cort Theatre at the end of October.
Two Shakespeare plays this fall will star Mark Rylance in another double staging—"Twelfth Night" and "Richard the Third." "Romeo and Juliet" also opened recently on Broadway, starring Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad.
Barbara Chai covers theater for the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog. She says "Romeo and Juliet" is a bold production but getting mixed reviews.
"There's some elements of this young, kind of rock-star attitude, with Orlando Bloom making his entrance on a motorcycle," she said. "It's a little bit controversial, some people will take to it and others won't."
And Chai said one of the bests ticket this fall is "The Glass Menagerie," by Tennesse Williams. You can read her review of the play here.

Saturday, January 11th (All times Eastern)
New York Knicks (13-22) at Philadelphia 76ers (12-24), 7:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The New York Knicks have won a season-high three in a row and will try to keep the momentum going Saturday night when they travel to Philadelphia to meet their Atlantic Division rivals, the 76ers.
The Knicks defeated the Dallas Mavericks in Texas, then rattled off back-to- back home wins over the Detroit Pistons and two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat.
Against the Heat on Thursday, the big story wasn't so much the 102-92 victory, as much as head coach Mike Woodson's decision to bench a healthy J.R. Smith for the entire game.
Smith was fined $50,000 by the NBA Wednesday for recurring instances of unsportsmanlike conduct. Smith was warned by the league after untying the shoelace of Dallas forward Shawn Marion during a free-throw attempt Sunday. He repeated the same action Tuesday in a game against Detroit.
"I didn't know anything about it," Smith said of being benched.
Woodson had no comment about the benching after the game.
"Not going to comment on J.R., just talk about the game," Woodson said.
Carmelo Anthony had 29 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Knicks. Raymond Felton tallied 13 points, 14 assists and five rebounds for New York, which has won four of its last five tilts.
Andrea Bargnani, Iman Shumpert and Amare Stoudemire all finished in double figures for the Knicks Thursday. Knicks center Tyson Chandler will miss Saturday's game with an upper respiratory infection.
Philadelphia's four-game winning streak is in the past and the team has dropped three in a row. In Friday's 114-104 setback to Detroit in the opener of a four-game homestand, Thaddeus Young scored 22 points and Michael Carter- Williams added 21 for the 76ers, who got 19 points from Evan Turner.
Spencer Hawes added 16 points and 10 rebounds in defeat. The Pistons had lost six in a row and recorded a 62-42 advantage on the boards.
"They made a run we couldn't come back from," Turner said.
The 76ers are 7-10 at home and will also host Charlotte and Miami.
The Knicks have won seven of the last nine against Philadelphia and five out of seven in south Philly.

Newcastle Jets wide midfielder Jeremy Brockie is looking forward to the next few games with the New Zealand national team.
The 23-year old has been capped on 22 occasions by the All Whites and says Wednesday night's clash with Mexico in Denver and the June 5 meeting with Trans-Tasman neighbours Australia in Adelaide loom as good tests for the NZ team.
"We have two tough games against Mexico and Australia coming up but it's great for us to be getting good competitive games against tough opposition," he told tribalfootball.com.
"We have our World Cup qualifiers next June so the more games and the higher quality of games is great for us."
Brockie came back into some solid form at the back-end of last A-League season with the Jets after being sidelined with a foot injury but he has now confirmed that he is fit and firing, off-field as well as on, following his engagement to girlfriend Jessica.
"I had a month off (after the season)," he added. "I had to play a few reserve games and keep training up until the end of March.
"I then played for the national team against China in a 1-1 draw, so during my month off I headed home to spend time with family and friends.
"I traveled around the top of the South Island (of NZ) where I got engaged to my now fiancé Jessica.
"Then the final two weeks I was involved in holiday clinics with young kids which was very successful.
"I'm fit and healthy right now so I'm feeling very good for the upcoming season, hopefully nailing down a first team place, and achieving the goals I have set for myself."
As for things back at EnergyAustralia Stadium, Brockie said it is exciting times ahead of the 2011/12 season after the club made some strong signings in the way of Jason Culina, Byun Sung-Hwan, Chris Payne and Tiago.
"Everyone is working hard and even though the season is still a long way off, we know there's a lot of competition for places this season," he added further. "Obviously it's great news that we have signed some very good players in Jason, Byun, Chris and Tiago.
"Along with securing a few of the local young boys that performed well last season when given the opportunity, we have been told that nobody's place in the first 11 is guaranteed yet so we have to work hard in training and perform in the pre-season games."
And Brockie also reflected on the now-defunct North Queensland Fury – the club he spent the 2009/10 campaign with.
"It's pretty disappointing to see the Fury missing this year as it is a very popular sport amongst the young kids up there," he said.
"It was unfortunate that no one was willing to carry the team on."
