Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns dig deep for shooting with Anthony Tolliver
The Phoenix Suns lost one integral member of their roster from last season when Channing Frye signed a four-year deal with the Orlando Magic.
To help fill the void created by Frye's absence, the team signed Anthony Tolliver, a six-year veteran who has played for six different NBA teams.
Once Frye agreed to terms with Orlando, Tolliver targeted Phoenix as a potential landing spot.
"I texted my agent immediately," Tolliver said during an introductory press conference Monday. "I follow everything because I know how any little transaction can effect me personally in free agency. I know we had talked with the Suns last year and the year before I believe about the possibility of coming here.
"It wasn't quite as attractive with Channing here because I knew he did what I did as well, pick-and-pop type of guy. It was still even intriguing then, but when he left I was like 'now it's really intriguing having that vacancy.'"
Tolliver actually shot a higher percentage than Frye from three-point range last year, knocking down 41 percent compared to Frye's 37 percent. It does need to be noted that Frye took about 200 more shots from behind the arc. Both players took a high volume of their attempts from the right wing as you can see from these two shot charts done by nyloncalculus.com
Tolliver's 2013-2014 Shot Chart:
Frye's 2013-2014 Shot Chart:
The big question is if Tolliver can shoot with the same type of consistency Frye has over the years. The 6-foot-8 forward has eclipsed the 40 percent mark from three-point range twice in his career, but hit just 24 percent in 2011-12 and 34 percent in 2012-13.
Tolliver is confident in his ability to shoot from deep because he's been working on this aspect of his game for a long time.
"It's something going back to high school and college I knew I wasn't going to be a seven-foot type of player," said Tolliver on the importance of developing a long-range jumper. "I also knew that the way the NBA was going, no matter how tall I was, it would be a valuable thing to have to be able to shoot.
"In college, they stuck me down on the block because I was the biggest guy on our team. In the offseasons, that wasn't what I worked on; I worked on shooting and being able to stretch the floor. My master plan to make it to the NBA was based on me being able to shoot."
According to basketball-reference.com, Tolliver spent 74 percent of his minutes at the small forward position with the Charlotte Bobcats last season. Don't expect to see that replicated this upcoming year. With a glut of potential small forwards in P.J. Tucker, Marcus Morris, Gerald Green and T.J. Warren, Tolliver will go back playing mainly the four as he did with the Golden State Warriors in 2009-10 and in his first year with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2010-11.

Burton tile firm plays part in bid to boost charity
Posted: July 25, 2014|
WORKERS at a Burton-based tile firm are taking part in a triatholon to raise vital funds for sick children.
Two teams from Russell Roof Tiles, situated in Wellington Road, are, for the first time, getting involved in 'Roofing Racers' – the roofing industry's national initiative to raise money by participating in the London Triathlon on Saturday, August 2.
None of the people involved has experience of participating in a triathlon before.
Russell Roof Tiles regional sales manager Paul McLoughlin said: "I'm delighted we have such committed teams from Russell Roof Tiles taking part, this is a great event to be involved with.
"Our teams are aiming to raise at least £3,000 for these two great charities and are all training really hard."
More than 30 teams from the roofing, roofline and window industries are joining forces to compete in a bid to raise £50,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The 9th consecutive London Triathlon will see a cross-section of first timers, sports enthusiasts and the triathlon elite all compete together to undertake a gruelling challenge that even some athletic contenders find difficult to complete.
Starting with a 750 metre swim in the River Thames, competitors will then undertake a cycle of 20 kilometres, followed by a five kilometre sprint to the finishing line.
Last year, more than 13,000 competitors took part.
Daniel Hancox and Adrian Ryding are both doing the 750 metre swim, Rachael Smith and Lyndsay Eaton are doing the 20 kilometre cycle, and Otto Mathiesen and Martin Davies are doing the five kilometre run.
Mr Hancox said: "Both Adrian and I are doing lots of open water swims to acclimatise ourselves to get ready for the River Thames swim.
"The rest of the team are also training really hard."

Hope everyone has calmed down
posted at 2/11/2011 9:46 PM ESTEVERY TIME everyone thinks this team has "turned a corner" they revert back to who they really are...an above average team that isn't anywhere close to a Cup. When the realists tell the Die-Hards to "calm down" after games like the one against the Habs, this is why. So again, stop getting overly excited about games in Febrraury, and start focussing on the games that TRULY MATTER.

Our biggest network comedy stars have almost all had a trim figure and a comely face.
Shortly after midnight, she and her comely 21-year-old daughter, Beatrice, disappeared.
"beautiful, handsome," c.1400, probably from Old English cymlic "lovely, splendid, finely made," from cyme "exquisite, glorious, delicate," from West Germanic *kumi- "delicate, feeble" (cf. Old High German chumo "with difficulty," chumig "weak, delicate;" German kaum "hardly, scarcely"). Or perhaps the modern word is from Middle English bicumelic (c.1200) "suitable, exquisite," literally "becomely" (cf. becoming).

The classic world history of the events, ideas, and personalities of the twentieth century.Edition/Copyright: REV 91
Johnson, Paul :
Paul Johnson is a leading historian and journalist whose historical works have been translated into many languages. Born into a Roman Catholic family in Lancashire, England, he has remained a practicing Catholic and has covered every papal conclave since the 1950s. Among his books are Modern Times, A History of the Jews, Intellectuals, The Birth of the Modern, and A History of the English People. Johnson writes a weekly essay for the Spectator and is a frequent contributor to The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and other newspapers and magazines throughout the world.
He lives in London.
A Relativistic World
The modern world began on 29 May 1919 when photographs of a solar eclipse, taken on the island of Principe off West Africa and at Sobral in Brazil, confirmed the truth of a new theory of the universe. It had been apparent for half a century that the Newtonian cosmology, based upon the straight lines of Euclidean geometry and Galileo's notions of absolute time, was in need of serious modification. It had stood for more than two hundred years. It was the framework within which the European Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the vast expansion of human knowledge, freedom and prosperity which characterized the nineteenth century, had taken place. But increasingly powerful telescopes were revealing anomalies. In particular, the motions of the planet Mercury deviated by forty-three seconds of arc a century from its predictable behaviour under Newtonian laws of physics. Why?
In 1905, a twenty-six-year-old German Jew, Albert Einstein, then working in the Swiss patent office in Berne, had published a paper, "On the electrodynamics of moving bodies", which became known as the Special Theory of Relativity. Einstein's observations on the way in which, in certain circumstances, lengths appeared to contract and clocks to slow down, are analogous to the effects of perspective in painting. In fact the discovery that space and time are relative rather than absolute terms of measurement is comparable, in its effect on our perception of the world, to the first use of perspective in art, which occurred in Greece in the two decades c.500-480 BC.
The originality of Einstein, amounting to a form of genius, and the curious elegance of his lines of argument, which colleagues compared to a kind of art, aroused growing, world-wide interest. In 1907 he published a demonstration that all mass has energy, encapsulated in the equation E = mc2, which a later age saw as the starting point in the race for the A-bomb. Not even the onset of the European war prevented scientists from following his quest for an all-embracing General Theory of Relativity which would cover gravitational fields and provide a comprehensive revision of Newtonian physics. In 1915 news reached London that he had done it. The following spring, as the British were preparing their vast and catastrophic offensive on the Somme, the key paper was smuggled through the Netherlands and reached Cambridge, where it was received by Arthur Eddington, Professor of Astronomy and Secretary of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Eddington publicized Einstein's achievement in a 1918 paper for the Physical Society called "Gravitation and the Principle of Relativity". But it was of the essence of Einstein's methodology that he insisted his equations must be verified by empirical observation and he himself devised three specific tests for this purpose. The key one was that a ray of light just grazing the surface of the sun must be bent by 1.745 seconds of arc -- twice the amount of gravitational deflection provided for by classical Newtonian theory. The experiment involved photographing a solar eclipse. The next was due on 29 May 1919. Before the end of the war, the Astronomer Royal, Sir Frank Dyson, had secured from a harassed government the promise of £1,000 to finance an expedition to take observations from Principe and Sobral.
Early in March 1919, the evening before the expedition sailed, the astronomers talked late into the night in Dyson's study at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, designed by Wren in 1675-6, while Newton was still working on his general theory of gravitation. E.T. Cottingham, Eddington's assistant, who was to accompany him, asked the awful question: what would happen if measurement of the eclipse photographs showed not Newton's, nor Einstein's, but twice Einstein's deflection? Dyson said, "Then Eddington will go mad and you will have to come home alone." Eddington's notebook records that on the morning of 29 May there was a tremendous thunderstorm in Principe. The clouds cleared just in time for the eclipse at 1.30 pm. Eddington had only eight minutes in which to operate. "I did not see the eclipse, being too busy changing plates...We took sixteen photographs." Thereafter, for six nights he developed the plates at the rate of two a night. On the evening of 3 June, having spent the whole day measuring the developed prints, he turned to his colleague, "Cottingham, you won't have to go home alone." Einstein had been right.
The expedition satisfied two of Einstein's tests, which were reconfirmed by W.W. Campbell during the September 1922 eclipse. It was a measure of Einstein's scientific rigour that he refused to accept that his own theory was valid until the third test (the "red shift") was met. "If it were proved that this effect does not exist in nature", he wrote to Eddington on 15 December 1919, "then the whole theory would have to be abandoned". In fact the "red shift" was confirmed by the Mount Wilson observatory in 1923, and thereafter empirical proof of relativity theory accumulated steadily, one of the most striking instances being the gravitational lensing system of quasars, identified in 1979-80. At the time, Einstein's professional heroism did not go unappreciated. To the young philosopher Karl Popper and his friends at Vienna University, "it was a great experience for us, and one which had a lasting influence on my intellectual development". "What impressed me most", Popper wrote later, "was Einstein's own clear statement that he would regard his theory as untenable if it should fail in certain tests.... Here was an attitude utterly different from the dogmatism of Marx, Freud, Adler and even more so that of their followers. Einstein was looking for crucial experiments whose agreement with his predictions would by no means establish his theory; while a disagreement, as he was the first to stress, would show his theory to be untenable. This, I felt, was the true scientific attitude..."

Very good post. This would be an invaluable addition to cloakroom furniture - Thanks!

Well, they look nice and interesting but nothing spectacular, I don't think I'd be willing to pay extra for this kind of fixtures. I do have a thing though for stylish bathroom vanities, they add personality to your bathroom. I checked few designs and they are awesome.

44 year old man | Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, USA | Seeking women 22-35 within 25 miles of Irvine, CA
When Hell freezes over is booked! But I am available tonight.
I am learning a lot about life from my dogs. Stuff like loyalty is one of the greatest gifts you can give anyone. Nothing beats an afternoon nap. Sometimes it is better just to do what I am told. And sometimes it's fun just to kick your legs up and drag your butt on the carpet. Ok, I am kidding about the last part (as far as you know). So I know what your thinking. Not so bad to look at, never married, no kids, not an alcoholic, not a drug addict, never been to arrested, funny , can dance and not gay???? I might as well say I am the Loc Ness Monster or Big Foot too. But it is true!! Seriously! I am 100% real and a hell of a lot easier to photograph! I did swing dance quite a bit a couple years ago and was learning to tango last year. I haven't done either in a little while but I think I am ready to get back into both again real soon so if you ever wanted to learn I would love a partner. And seriously I am NOT GAY. When I have time off I usually spend time with my friends or family. I love going to movies. I like all movies.. I even watch the chick flicks (Not Gay). I am pretty much open to anything though. I have been pretty inactive lately because of an injury followed by laziness and am really hoping to meet someone who wants to do physical activities and help me get back in shape. I love to travel to. I was in the Marines for 4 years and was luckily able to travel to wonderful places like Thailand, Tokyo, Okinawa, Mt. Fuji, Australia, Palau, Pellilu, and Singapore. I have also traveled to Great Britain twice. I am really hoping to go to Ireland next and then who knows. What am I looking for?? Someone to share my time with. I have read a lot of profiles here and so many people have the laundry list of what you have to be like. I just cant do that. If she is the right one then she is the right one. You cant choose who you fall in love with it just happens. So I try to stay open minded. It starts with attraction moves to conversation and then to genuine connection. Somebody who really gets you. Someone to grow old with and will never leave your side. Like in the Notebook.... Uh so I heard... I might have seen a little of that movie while I was switching channels to some sporting event or movie with a bunch of guns in it.... Damn It! Not Gay!! Well that about sums things up. Would be glad to tell ya anything ya want to know. Just ask. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to hear from you soon...
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Running, VolleyBall
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Cats, Fish
Middle of the Road
I love traveling to new places. I have been to Australia, Singapore, England, Thailand, Japan, and Palau. I hope to visit many more in the future.
I love the movies and going to dinner. Vegas is always fun. I don't mind bars but tend to shy away from clubs. Can swing dance a little and am learning to Tango now. Outside of that I am open to about anything.

But unfortunately I'm at work so I thnk I will cry silently instead.
I work 2 nd shift and I really like to try to make sure Dnner's done or ready to go in the oven before I leave but sometimes it doesn't happen.
I like to make sure the house is at least picked up or mostly clean before leaving at 2:30 but sometimes it doesn't happen.
I like to have clean laundry and have it all tidy And put away but sometimes it doesn't happen.
I try to get our 2yo down for a nap but most mes that doesn't happen.
I like to pay the bills on time and not fall behind but sometimes that doesn't happen.
I would like my 13yo to act a little maturer and not start crap with her stepdad but that never happens.
I could keep going on but I swear every text is something wrong and it's driving me nuts! I keep telling DH I need help and I can't do it all. I I keep asking for help and am not getting it. I normally never have a problem with him and he's normally like it's ok, whatever, but lately this is killing me.
I get up with LO at 8, leave for work at 2:30 and am back home in bed at one. Apparently I have all the time in the damn world to get everything done!!! I's 2 full time frkg jobs. He picks her up around 5:30 and she's in bed at 8. WTH am I doing wrong? As the song "this house is falling apart" just went off.

Re: Your latest purchases, cont.
Collected a pair of slim dark-green cords that were getting hemmed at the tailors, and couldn't resist also picking up a navy/white-pindot silk square while there.
Oh, and I also ordered a few new shirts (a pale blue solid, a blue with a thin white/brown stripe, and another one or two I can't remember right now) at the weekend, as well as ordering replacement collars/cuffs on a few that are showing their age now, but none of them will be finished for a while. Must be patient!

Series: Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library
Publisher's Description
In this provocative, intelligent, and highly original addition to the Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library, Susan R. Garrett argues that angel talk has never been merely about angels. Rather, from ancient times until the present, talk about angels has served as a vehicle for reflection on other fundamental life questions, including the nature of God's presence and intervention in the world, the existence and meaning of evil, and the fate of humans after death. In No Ordinary Angel, Garrett examines how biblical and other ancient authors addressed such questions through their portrayals of angels. She compares the ancient angel talk to popular depictions of angels today and considers how the ancient and modern portraits of angels relate to Christian claims about Jesus.
No Ordinary Angel offers important insights into the development of angelology, the origins of Christology, and popular Western spirituality ranging from fundamentalist to New Age. In doing so, it provokes stimulating theological reflection on key existential questions.

Susan R. Garrett is professor of New Testament, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. She is coordinator of the Louisville Grawemeyer Award in Religion.

Drudge, with his droll Dickensian name, was not the only media or political agent whose actions led to John Kerry's defeat. But his role placed him at the center of the game -- a New Media World Order in which Drudge was the most potent player in the process and a personi?cation of the dynamics that did Kerry in. Drudge and his ilk made Kerry toxic -- and unelectable.
Toxicity is the new de?ning trait of modern American politics. The toxins themselves are not new. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton initially clashed like gentlemen (albeit venomously) over the limits of federal power and the future of the economy, but when news of Hamilton's saucy mistress Maria Reynolds surfaced, thanks to nonpartisan busybody James Callender, Jefferson was content to let the accusatory pamphlets ?y.
Anger, prurience, invective, conspiracy theory -- all are native ?owers on the American landscape. What is new is the greenhouse in which these blossoms are cultivated and sold. This greenhouse was built on two beams. The ?rst was the disintegration of editorial ?lters in the Old Media, which in an earlier age prevented the most salacious tales and bitter accusations (though certainly not all) from entering the public arena.
The New Media -- talk radio, cable television, Internet websites -- for the most part never had these editorial ?lters. Many of its leading voices, Drudge among them, are openly contemptuous of the very idea. The Old Media, faced with ?lter-free competition, responded by loosening or discarding its own.
This in turn helped promote, and was promoted by, the second beam, the erosion of basic habits of decorum and self-restraint, in politics and media alike. In an earlier generation, these habits meant that people more often refrained from fully expressing how much they loathed one another. In the current generation, self-restraint is commonly regarded as a weakness and rarely is rewarded economically or politically.
The result is that the extreme and eccentric voices who always populated the margins of politics now reside, with money and fame as the rewards, at the center. Michael Moore, please say hello to Ann Coulter. The collapse of ?lters and the collapse of civility together have changed the purpose of politics. The goal now is not simply to win, but to persuade voters (and donors and viewers and readers) that an opponent lacks the character and credibility even to deserve a place in the contest. That is Freak Show politics.
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were sitting on the stage in Little Rock because they learned to navigate the Freak Show -- and even to use it to their advantage. Al Gore and John Kerry were sitting in the audience because they did not. Were it not for the Freak Show, Kerry's title today likely would be President of the United States. Instead Kerry's title is Case Study.

The single biggest hurdle in my experience was taming the agitation technique.

Boys Volleyball: Camarillo reaches Division 3 semifinals with five-game win
Scorpions advance just in time for prom
The early afternoon match ensured the Camarillo High boys volleyball players would arrive at prom on time.
But their enjoyment level was something only they could control.
The Scorpions arrived at the dance in much higher spirits after surviving a five-game thriller in the quarterfinals of the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 playoffs.
After saving a match point in the fifth game, top-seeded Camarillo completed its comeback to beat Santa Monica 25-15, 25-27, 22-25, 25-21, 16-14 on Saturday at Camarillo High.
Camarillo (28-5-1) advances to the CIF-SS semifinals for the third straight year, and will play either La Canada or Hemet on Wednesday night.
"It would have been a lot harder to go to prom if we would have lost this match," Camarillo senior outside hitter Owen Yoshimoto said. "It would have been bad. But this will make it a lot better for us."
The match featured 42 ties, and was so compelling even the officials and libero tracker were eager to have it continue as long as possible.
Camarillo took control of the first game early and maintained at least a four-point margin much of the way.
The only glitch came with scoreboard as the buzzer got stuck and blared for nearly 45 seconds before Camarillo coach Rob Vandermay raced over to fix it, which drew a loud applause from the crowd.
But Santa Monica (13-15) quickly regrouped in the second game to even the match. Camarillo saved three game points, but could not save the fourth as Spencer Cramer gave Santa Monica a 27-25 victory with a kill.
The third game was just as close. Camarillo held a 21-19 lead, but Santa Monica rallied to take the game when Owen Yoshimoto sent a kill long.
"Volleyball is a real momentum game and I have seen the Game 2 letup happen many times in my 30 years coaching," Vandermay said. "I always preach about no Game 2 letup for us, but I think we had a little bit of one. They caught fire. It was almost like sharks smelling blood in the water and they went for it."
But the roles reversed in the fourth game as Camarillo staged its own comeback. The Scorpions trailed by five points midway through before Yoshimoto came through with some big kills down the stretch to even the match at two games apiece.
Santa Monica jumped to a 5-2 lead in the deciding game, but Camarillo made a run to tie it 6-6. It remained nip and tuck throughout.
Santa Monica had a match point at 14-13, but outside hitter Dane Keckin sent a serve into the net.
A kill by Owen Yoshimoto gave Camarillo match point at 15-14, and the Scorpions were able to start celebrating wildly after Keckin sent a kill long.
"I almost broke down at the end there emotionally. That was huge," Vandermay said. "The guys showed so much heart and character. They really persevered and came back when things were stacked against them for a little while."
Owen Yoshimoto finished with a career-high 41 kills. Brandon Tran had 13 kills, Chris Salas had 18 digs and Satbir Dhaliwal added eight blocks for Camarillo.
Sophomore setter Matt Yoshimoto finished with a career-high 59 assists, and some relief for his anxiety.
"That was really intense. My stomach was kind of hurting because I was so nervous the whole time," he said. "What a crazy match."
The match started at 3 p.m. so Camarillo's 10 seniors would have at least an hour to get dressed for prom and make it to Spanish Hills Country Club by 6:15.
The smiles in their photos are sure to be a lot brighter after what transpired on the court.
"It was a relief to get this win. Now we know we can go farther in CIF," Owen Yoshimoto said. "They are a really good team, and beating them gives us a lot of confidence."

Early African Art for Kids
Geometric lines engraved on red ocher stone
(Blombos Cave, South Africa, about 80,000 BC)
People were producing art in South Africa even before the first people left Africa for other parts of the world. The earliest art we know about comes from Blombos Cave in South Africa, from about 80,000 BC.
Wadi Methkandoush cats
Sahara Desert, ca. 10,000 BC (modern Libya)
About 10,000 BC African art takes off. All the way across the whole Sahara Desert people started to create rock carvings of animals. There are rock carvings in Niger, in Libya, in Sudan and in Egypt. Some of the carvings show people. Other carvings show cats or giraffes or other animals. These Saharan carvings are the ancestors of later Egyptian carvings. The figures are seen from the side, and they stand one picture on top of another in rows (like comic strips), just like later Egyptian carvings.
Rock carving of giraffes. Tenere Desert (modern Niger), 10,000-7000 BC
By 3000 BC, Egyptian artists were doing very similar carving, but thanks to the rich Nile River and a lot of trade with West Asia, Egypt was richer and could afford better carvings.
Head from Kerma (modern Sudan),
about 1600 BC.
Not long after, the artists of Kerma (along the Nile River in northern Sudan) were producing art in styles related to the Egyptian art to their north. Like their Egyptian neighbors, the artists of Kerma made blue faience statuettes. But the Kerma statuettes clearly show African hair and features.

"Smash" is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire – to be a Broadway star.

The series' executive producers also include Joshua Safran ("Gossip Girl"), Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Oscar-winning "Chicago," "Hairspray"), Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey ("United States of Tara," "The Borgias"), Tony and Grammy Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman("Hairspray," "Catch Me If You Can"), Jim Chory ("Heroes," "American Dreams") and Theresa Rebeck ("Mauritius," "NYPD Blue").

Having recently travelled to Europe with my then 6 month old son, the idea of doing an educational trip to Namibia with my husband and my now 11 month old son didn't seem all that daunting.
I obviously knew from previous experience that educationals can be very tiring, but I hoped that as we were going to be travelling almost every day between 4-6 hours that my son would sleep most of the way and the trip would be fairly easy.
I soon found out that travelling with a 6 month old is very different from travelling with an 11 month old!

In a major casting coup, Mann managed to sign the extremely "hot" film star Tom Sizemore for the lead role of Sam Cole, a hard-nosed LAPD robbery-homicide investigator. As head of a crack team of gumshoes, the obsessive, relentless Cole solved all manner of baffling urban crimes. Lensed on high-definition film and possessed of the "cutting-edge" style which typified the Michael Mann ouevre, Robbery Homicide Division first aired on September 27, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hi, from 8th grade through highschool mountain biking was just what I did every week. But when we hit college and my riding partner/best friend left the city I put my hobby on the back burner. I've always worked out and ran so my fitness is up to par, and I just found out because I hit the trails today for the first time in two years! I thank my buddy for buying his Specialized Rock Hopper, I'm jealous.
Here's where I need some advise, I'm currently riding on a black 1999 GT Aggressor with stock plastic pedals, WTB Velociraptors(loved'm), a bent rear rim that knocks my rear breaks every revolution, original grips and the stock taint-killer seat that all need changing or fixing.
I know I can get a far superior bike that is lighter, stronger, faster, and equipped with disc brakes for around the same cost of mine back in 2000 when my pops bought it for me($350-400), but this bike is making due and I'd rather just replace some wear items until I decide to break the bank.
The tires I want to get will need to be double duty, my raptors worked great for me over the years and getting another set would work but that's just boring, I like change and would like to try something different. I'm the same way with track tires for my car.
These are what I'm looking at, I like the red sidewall too since they'd match some of my gear including my shoes
Any suggestions on DH or XC tires that can see double duty? And if possible, with a red theme!

Public defender appointed for Caronna
A public defender was appointed this morning for Joe Caronna, the Cordova insurance agent charged with killing his wife last year.
Caronna, 45, was indicted on first-degree murder charges this month in the death of 44-year-old Tina Caronna, whose body was found in October 2008 in the back of the couple's Chevrolet Avalanche at the end of Brannick near Elmore Road and Summer in Bartlett.
Her hands were bound and her mouth was covered with duct tape, authorities said. The financial services executive's death was caused by asphyxiation
Joe Caronna fled town in March after an arrest warrant was issued, but he was arrested two weeks later at a motel in Jackson, Tenn.
He also faces civil suits in state and federal courts for allegedly stealing more than a half million dollars from business clients to pay for a collection of cars.
Caronna, who made a brief appearance this morning before Criminal Court W. Mark Ward, is being held without bond. His next court date is Dec. 10.

Haditha Handwringing
The last thing we need in response to Haditha is hand-wringing liberalism.
Jun 12, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 37 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
U.S. MARINES are under investigation for alleged misconduct in the deaths of Iraqi civilians. The inquiry into the events at Haditha last November 19 is ongoing--but the Nation's editors already know what happened: A U.S. "war crime"! A military "massacre"! A "cover-up"! (And also a "willful, targeted brutality designed to send a message to Iraqis"--something a cover-up would seem to make more difficult.) The anti-American left can barely be bothered to conceal its glee.
As for the pro-American left, they write more in sorrow than in anger. Here's The New Republic's Peter Beinart:
Americans can be as barbaric as anyone. What makes us an exceptional nation with the capacity to lead and inspire the world is our very recognition of that fact. We are capable of Hadithas and My Lais, so is everyone. But few societies are capable of acknowledging what happened, bringing the killers to justice, and instituting changes that make it less likely to happen again. That's how we show we are different from the jihadists. We don't just assert it. We prove it. That's the liberal version of American exceptionalism, and it's what we need right now in response to this horror.
No, it isn't. The last thing we need in response to Haditha is hand-wringing liberalism. The war against the jihadists, a war Beinart supports, is not a metaphorical one. Liberals may want to win a war on terror without fighting, and are shocked that in a war, crimes and abuses occur. But here's the hard, Trumanesque truth: In war, terrible things happen, including crimes and abuses and cover-ups.
Let's be clear: Crimes and cover-ups cannot be excused or tolerated. They must be investigated, and the individuals involved, and their commanders, must be held accountable and punished. As the Marine Corps commandant points out, the Marine Hymn pledges that we "keep our honor clean." This is happening. All nations' soldiers commit crimes, and decent nations punish them. But it is not true that "what makes us an exceptional nation with the capacity to lead and inspire the world" is that we recognize we can be barbaric and that we punish barbarism.
What makes us exceptional is that we stand for liberty, and that we are willing to fight for liberty. We don't need to "prove" we are different from the jihadists by bringing our own soldiers, if they have done something wrong, to justice. Of course we must and will do this. But our doing this "proves" nothing. Even if there were ten Hadithas, we would still not have to "prove" that we are "different from the jihadists." The idea would be offensive if it were not ludicrous.
What we do have to prove is that we are strong enough to fight this war, and intelligent enough to win it. Our political and military leadership has to be serious enough to reconsider failing tactics and strategy, and capable enough to do what it takes to win.
Supporters of the war have engaged in a vigorous debate, in these pages and elsewhere, about how better to fight this war. It would be encouraging if more people at senior levels of the military seemed to be engaged in this kind of serious thinking and rethinking. It would be encouraging if more civilians high up in the Pentagon were engaged in such a debate. It would be encouraging if a single person in the White House seemed to be engaged in a real effort to learn from mistakes, so as to adjust our policy to make success more likely.
The American people understand we are at war. They will support what has to be done. The remarkable men and women in uniform will do their jobs in an exemplary way. The military leadership seems competent--and can be shaken up if it is not. The question is whether our political leadership is strong and able enough. And the buck stops with the president.
Does the president really believe, as he said at his recent press conference with Prime Minister Blair, that the Iraq war's greatest mistake was Abu Ghraib? Or was this just a way of ducking the question? After all, the damage done to the war effort by Abu Ghraib pales beside the damage done by not having enough troops in theater, by refusing to send additional troops, by wasting a year before beginning seriously to build up the Iraqi army, by the April 2004 aborted battle for Falluja, and the like.

Originally written on Seed Spitters | Last updated 1/13/13
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images I was reading an article on Yahoo! Sports questioning if the Giants had enough offensive firepower to be successful again. You can read the article here, but let me summarize it for you: the Giants were lucky twice and they will be bad like they were in 2011 because they only have Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey hitting home runs. Honestly, I completely disagree. The Giants might have been lucky in 2010 withe their lights-out pitching and timely hits, but in 2012 I was never more confident in their offense. In the playoffs last year, the Giants averaged 4.05 runs per game. During the regular season, they put up 4.4 runs per game. Were does that put them with the rest of the league? Twelfth in the majors. Okay, so 12th isn't great, but its still better than 18 other teams in the league. And besides, the offense is only half the battle. pitching is what makes this team so effective. I'm getting off track here. Offense is the concern, so let's talk about it. The Giants didn't have a full season of Posey in 2010 and 2011 when they averaged 4.3 and 3.5 runs per game. The Giants didn't even have the healthy-hitting Sandoval of 2011 in both Championship years. New additions Hunter Pence, Marco Scutaro and Angel Pagan were spark plugs in the lineup, but were only used as a unit in the last couple months on the season. Imagine how good the Giants will be without Aubrey Huff taking at-bats away form Brandon Belt, or Ryan Theriot starting over the revived Scutaro. Some of you may want to bring up the loss of the juiced Melky Cabrera and how he carried the team in the first half. Sure, the man was on pace for well over 200 hits and had a huge amount of triples in the first half, but was he the only one contributing? His defense was above average (thanks to his new arm filled with steroids), and he hit everything everywhere. I think the proof is in the pudding: Runs per game First half (Opening day - July 8, 2012)3.93 Second half (July 13 - Oct. 3)5.00 The Giants were more successful without Cabrera and his cheating may have brought the clubhouse together, who knows? I am getting excited about the 2013 Giants team not because of the good pitching as always, but because we are about to see a full season with the resilience we saw in the postseason. With the addition of Andres Torres, I feel this clubhouse will be more united than before. Here's my opening day lineup: #1 – Pagan #2 – Scutaro #3 – Sandoval #4 – Posey #5 – Pence #6 – Belt #7 – Blanco #8 – Crawford #9 – Strasburg (surprise trade in February, just wait…) Lookin' good, Giants. Where isn't the offensive firepower? Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
